Outgoing Jacksboro May-or Lewis James adminis-tered the oath of offi ce for new Mayor Alton Morris, Jr. along with Melanie Belcher and Joe Mitchell for places 2 and 4 on the council at Tuesday’s meeting.

Lewis thanked the council members, staff and citizens for helping the city.

“It’s been a long hard road on a lot of this stuff,” he

said. “With all of us work-ing together, we can make these things come about and with God’s help, we’ll get it all done.”

The council then voted to approve one of three bids

By Brian [email protected]

PERRIN — School board mem-bers here Tuesday approved allowing members of the Class of 2015 to graduate despite not having passed all the STAAR sec-tions.

SB 149, which was signed by the Governor earlier in the week, will allow seniors who had not passed one or two of the STAAR sections to graduate provided a committee of district offi cials comes up with a plan on how to get the student(s) to graduate.

Superintendent John Kuhn would not say who was in danger of not graduating or how many but did say it would allow some of the Class of 2015 to graduate.

“We were ahead of the curve on the legislature; it sat on the gov-ernor’s desk for a while,” Kuhn said in a previous interview. “We read the law and under-

Hard work pays off for Bailey and Simmons

By Cherry [email protected]

Jacksboro High School’s Katelin Bailey and Shalin Simmons have spent the last two weeks greatly anticipating tonight’s crossover from life in high school to life beyond.

Bailey, valedictorian, and Simmons, sa-lutatorian, sacrifi ced much to leave their mark as the top two grads for JHS Class of 2015.

“It took a lot of dedication and no sleep,” Simmons said.

“It was a lot of time studying and being focused,” Bailey said.

Simmons said she’s happy to have earned salutatorian and being second place to Bailey is quite a feat.

“There’s Katelin, then there’s a gap,” Sim-mons said. “Then there’s second, third, fourth, fi fth and so on. It’s funny. Every-body talks about it. It was never even close. There’s at least a 3 (percentage) point gap.”

TxDOT, county talk grants

TxDOT offi cials spoke to Jack County Commis-sioners about some grant monies the county may be eligible for to improve some of the county roads.

David Neeley, area en-gineer with TXDOT, told commissioners the grant fund cycle works in three-year increments with en-tities contributing in 10 or 20 percent matching funds. Neeley said the county can begin work-ing on getting accident

FCH board discusses construction and budgetBy Brian Smith

[email protected]

Faith Community Hospital board members received an update on new construc-tion during Tuesday eve-ning’s brief board meeting.

Administrator Frank Beaman said the recent rains have provided an opportunity to fi eld test the drainage at the new facility and have found it to be “phenomenal.” Beaman said prep work is continuing on the EMS

building with grading cur-rently underway.

Floors are being laid throughout the main hos-pital building. Even with the recent rains, Bea-man said the new facility is still scheduled to be turned over to the hospi-

tal in September and pa-tients seen beginning in October.

The board also ap-proved a preliminary budget for the 2015-16 fi s-cal year. The budget had been worked on by the fi nance committee and

includes an estimated 4.75 percent increase in values. Beaman said a full budget can’t be present-ed until certifi ed values are released in July.

The budget esti-mates net revenue of $13,479,465 and expenses

of $11,616,797.Board members also ap-

proved Anita Hackley to serve on the Faith Com-munity Hospital Chari-table Foundation Board, which consists of one board member, Beaman and fi ve at large positions.

to replace a sewer main on West Archer Street from 11th Street to Timberlane. The city contracted with KSA Engineering to build fi ve manholes and remove and replace the collapsing Orangeburg pipe.

Bowles Construction came in with the low bid of $105,350 which council awarded the project to.

City Manager Mike Smith said he does not know when the project will begin, but he anticipates the com-pany to start soon.

Council also discussed adding a third emergency siren to the northern part of the city with the addi-tional construction taking place in the area.

Smith said Faith Commu-nity Hospital CEO Frank

Beaman gave the OK for the city to place the third siren atop or near the new hospi-tal facility.

Staff also recommended for the next fi scal year, moving the siren from West Archer about 150 to 250 yards northeast to the Pascal lift station so that it would have backup power.

“Archer does not have backup power. If the elec-tricity goes out, we can’t use it,” Smith said.

He added that as of last week, both sirens can now be radio activated. They no longer require being activated manually or by personnel at Jack County dispatch.

“We need to do some pub-lic training on what to do when the sirens do go off,” said Alderman Joe Mitchell.

When sirens were sound-

ed for a tornado threat last week, several citizens went to the courthouse for safety and were redirected to the high school.

Smith said the city also plans to begin testing the emergency sirens monthly on the third Wednesday at noon.

“But not until we actu-ally get that advertised and publicized so people are aware that’s why we’re sounding them, as a test,” he said.

stood the requirements, formed a committee and we’re ready to go.”

He added he believes SB 149 offers an essential benefi t for Texas students.

“I think there are multiple ways a student can demon-strate profi ciency in con-tent, not just via that one shot test,” Kuhn said.

Elementary Principal Amy Salazar gave an up-date at her school, say-ing the rains had caused

her students, parents and faculty to have “lots of fl exibility” about events

such as fi eld days but that everything had gone well heading into the fi nal week of the school year.

In his report, Kuhn said

wind damage Monday had blown the roof off and forced other repairs

to the home dugout at the baseball fi eld. He also praised the work of a number of the school’s academic teams, includ-

ing the Destination Imag-ination squad, which fi nished 2nd nationally among 60 teams at a com-petition in Tennessee. It was the best the team had ever done at nationals as only one other team from Perrin had ever qualifi ed in the more than 20 years of competition.

Perrin also has teams competing at the UIL State Academic Meet in Austin in computer science and accounting, Kuhn said.

The school reported the

results of the state com-petition Wednesday af-ternoon. Eric Hall placed fourth in computer sci-ence individually and the computer science team of Hall, Zach Tucker, Hunter Francis and Aidan Sims placed fourth. Tucker placed seventh and Sims placed eight individually.

Kuhn also gave end of year attendance num-bers for both schools. The high school dropped from 165 to 159 in grades 7-12 while the elementary

dropped from 198 to 194 for a total district drop of 10 students from the start of school.

Eighth grade graduation is set for 7 p.m. Friday with a dance to follow from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. with 27 seniors tak-ing the stage for high school graduation at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Both events will take place in the high school gymna-sium.Cherry Rushin contribut-

information for many of what are called off system roads, which includes county roads and city streets. Neeley said each accident receives points based on whether or not it is a fatality or incapaci-tating.

The roads that have the highest amount of points can get funds, Neeley said.

“If we see a certain type of accident, be it a T-bone, or a rear end that can

show us how roads may be improved, we may be able to work with lighting or a turn lane,” Neeley ex-plained. “It may not com-pletely solve the problem, but it is a start.”

Rumble strips to be placed on U.S. 281, north of Highways 114 and 199 are part of a TXDOT proj-ect. Neeley said signs were placed in the area but when the number and serious-ness of accidents didn’t go down, other action head to have been taken.

TxDOT is also working

on the widening of FM 1191 south of Bryson, in-cluding the widening of lanes and installation of shoulders.

Neeley and the court will meet again in October to determine what roads to submit for possible con-sideration.

In other activity, commis-sioners gave updates on their precincts after recent storms. Most everyone appeared in decent shape with a few exceptions.

Crooked Creek Road had a 48-inch culvert washed

out with barriers installed to help fl ooding on Coun-ty Line Road. Pct. 2 Com-missioner James Brock said Slusher Road is near-ly completely gone.

Judge Mitchell Daven-port asked commission-ers if they may need to dip into their reserves for repairs or continued maintenance. Davenport signed a local declara-tion of disaster last week which was only good for seven days.

The signing of the lo-cal document helps state

a case for state monies, Davenport said.

• Brock also told Daven-port that someone needs to be managing Precinct 1 with the health problems of Commissioner Fearl Smith seemingly not get-ting any better.

Residents have con-tacted Brock saying work they have asked to be done on the roads is not getting done to their sat-isfaction with one job needing workers to come out three times before it was fi xed properly. Brock

said he hasn’t minded helping out but said he has his own precinct to worry about.

“We can’t just let his area go. It’s not fair to the county or the residents of Precinct 1 with the way things are now,” Brock said.

Seeing how the item was not on the agenda, there was nothing that could be offi cially decided on it. Davenport said he would call a special meeting next week to talk about and decide what to do.


jacksboronewspapers.comBoth girls were active in

extracurriculars during their high school tenure. Both participated in FFA, served as class offi cers, NHS, Beta, student council and on the school’s Relay for Life team.

Bailey has attended Jacksboro schools since kindergarten and Sim-mons since fi rst grade.

Bailey’s favorite subject is science.

“It’s relevant to life,” she said. “You need to know what you learn in science and you can use that in pretty much anything you get into.”

Simmons’ favorite sub-ject is math.

“I’m good at it. Math problems seem like a puzzle,” she said. “You sit down and work them out until you get to a fi nished point. And also because Dr. (Liz) Spears rocks.”

Bailey plans to attend

Texas A&M in the fall and plans to major in biomedi-cal sciences with the hope of going on to medical school.

Simmons is headed to Texas Tech to study nursing and eventually become a certifi ed regis-tered nurse anesthetist.

The young ladies have a favorite teacher in com-mon.

“Mrs. (Dori) Taylor’s class was the best,” Sim-mons said. “We actually

learned and had fun. She got us to enjoy learn-ing.”

“We had her for sopho-more English. We were her last class before she be-came a counselor,” Bailey said.

Both Bailey and Sim-mons said the greatest challenge facing their gen-eration when entering the workforce will be “fi xing the mess our older gener-ations made for us in the country.”


USDA seeks applications to expand economic developmentAgriculture Under Secre-

tary Lisa Mensah has an-nounced USDA is seeking applications for grants to support rural community

economic development.“This funding from USDA

will ensure that technical and fi nancial assistance is available for those who wish to improve the qual-ity of life in rural commu-nities,” Mensah said. “Very often, great visions for bet-ter rural communities ex-ist, but the next steps to-ward positive change are unclear. These grants will help rural communities build a path to community economic development so rural America can share in the nation’s economic re-covery.”

“This funding provides ru-ral community leaders with the necessary tools to car-ry out housing, community facility and community and economic development projects ,” said USDA Rural Development Texas State Director Paco Valentin.

Approximately $10.4 mil-lion is being made available under the Rural Commu-nity Development Initiative (RCDI) program. Eligible applicants include public, private, and non-profi t in-termediaries, and federally recognized tribes.

RCDI grants can be used

to provide training or tech-nical assistance. Training may be focus on home-own-ership education, minority business entrepreneurship, strategic community plan-ning or accessing alterna-tive funding sources. In-termediary organizations must provide matching funds at least equal to the RCDI grant. Grants range from $50,000 to $250,000.

For information on how to apply contact your Ru-ral Development state of-fi ce. Applications must be submitted by August 13, 2015.

Museum’s Pioneer Day offers entertainment for allThe 12th annual Pio-

neer Day is shaping up to be one of the best and most exciting com-munity events to date. On Saturday, June 6, on the grounds of the Jack County Museum at 241 W. Belknap, museum vol-unteers will introduce the North Texas Civilian Historians.

This distinguished group of historians will be dressed in 19th Cen-tury period dress and will be on hand for dem-

onstrations including butter churning, candle dipping, spinning, and weaving.

One of the historians present a School Master Portrayal for the chil-dren in our community. If it was a rough school year fi lled with trips to the principal’s offi ce, a taste of 19th Century “schooling” might be just the remedy for helping a child appreciate today’s modern educational op-portunities.

For those who aren’t interested in reliving “old school days,” Joyce Gibson Roach, an award-winning Texas author, former TCU adjunct Eng-lish professor, and a 2010 inductee into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame will pres-ent a short reading from her new book Short Call: Snippets from the Small-est Places in Texas

Roach will be on hand afterwards to sign cop-ies for those who wish to purchase her book. All

proceeds from the sale of the book will benefi t the museum.

In order to offer visi-tors something new and different, event organiz-ers decided to park the chuckwagon and take advantage of the bounty our overfl owing creeks and rivers have offered by opting for a good ol’ fashioned fi sh fry with all the fi xings.

Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. with a cost of $10 for

adults and $5 for children under 10.

For those who prefer to relax under a shade tree while sipping lemonade or eating homemade ice cream, musical entertain-ment by hometown boy, Sam Gafford, will be pro-vided.

Keeping with tradi-tion, visitors will have a chance to see what quilty goodness the Post Oak Busy Bee Quilters will display during their ever popular bed turning.

JCM Board members will be selling tickets for a Big Tex 12-foot utility trailer, a Texas-made deer stand, and a vintage quilt avail-able for viewing at Jacks-boro National Bank. Tick-ets for these items can be purchased from any board member as well as at H-Brand, Nash’s, the County Extension Offi ce, and the museum. The winning tickets will be drawn at 2:30 p.m. at Pio-neer Day. You do not have to be present to win.

Thanking God for answered prayersLake Jacksboro, Lake

Bridgeport, area stock tanks are full! Let us thank God for answered prayers.

There was much de-struction in Mineral Wells, Boonesville, Balsora, Run-away Bay, and other areas due to the violent thun-derstorms and associated twisters. Yet, it is miracu-lous that there were no lives lost.

Prayers go out for the families of Rush Lee Mont-gomery and Pam Hudson. Rush and Pam were killed in a motor vehicle acci-dent on SH 199. They will be greatly missed.

Congratulations go out for Eric Hall who gradu-ates from Perrin High School this week; and, for Zach Nelms who gradu-ates from Jacksboro High

School this week. Prayers go out that their futures will be full of happiness and success.

Congratulations go out for many in the commu-nity. Kailey Shaw made honor roll, received a perfect attendance award, received recog-nition as an outstanding student in the freshman class at Jacksboro High School. Makenna made honor roll, and was one of the students chosen as outstanding band stu-

dents in the Jacksboro Sixth Grade band excel-ling well playing bari-tone.

Natalie and Angelina Mock were listed on the honor roll at Perrin. This has been a very good year for many students and they are all deserving of our encouragement and praise.

Memorial Day was ob-served one day early at Joplin Baptist Church on May 24. Patriotic songs were sung by the choir,

“God Bless the USA” was sung by Ron Bell. The message was given on the text of Psalm 139 with il-lustrations drawn from the history of Memorial Day and the Tomb of the Unknowns. This was a day to respect and re-member the sacrifi ces given by so many for our beloved country.

Due to extremely muddy conditions, the memorial service at Joplin Fairview Cemetery had to be post-poned. The new date of this service will be an-nounced when available.

Mark your calendar. The next Fifth Sunday Singing will be hosted by Gibtown Baptist Church at 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. Re-freshments will follow. You are all invited and bring friends.

Things blowing around in PerrinI don’t know about y’all

but I think the wind may have blown just a “little” Monday afternoon in Per-rin. With all the rain it’s not surprising how eas-ily with the help of high winds how quickly some-thing can be taken out of the ground, moved or blown away.

The rain has been such a blessing but at the same time it’s been so sad to see all the communities, homes and cars being ru-ined by the fl ooding and families going missing.

A huge global congratu-lations goes out to our Secondary Level Destina-tion Imagination Steam Team and Minion that not only went on to making it to the global compe-tition in Tennessee but placed and came home with 2nd out of 60 teams and placed 1st out of the Texas teams in creature feature. Congratulations and fantastic job well done Coaches Ann Greg-ory and Chris Hall and to students Anjolie Moore, Mary Oleksyn, Kenzie Mc-Gee and Eric Hall.

Congratulations to this

years Senior Class Vale-dictorian Katie Blakeley and Salutatorian Eric Hall and to the Eighth Grade Class Valedictorian Noah Kuhn and Salutatorian Claire Mounce. Eric and Katie were also named Most Likely to Succeed. Creede Lee and Kali Park-er were named Mr. and Miss PHS.

I’d like to send my con-dolences and prayers out to the family and friends on the recent passing of Dianna Ray Wilhoit of Per-rin. Also to the family and friends of both Rush Lee Montgomery and Pam Chapman Hudson.

Watching out for the weatherWith the threat and de-

struction by tornadoes and wind in our area, it comes to mind how blessed we re-ally are to be living in our little county. We have no radio or television in our area and when bad weath-er hits, we lose our satellite coverage and when elec-tricity goes out, it takes out our cable service, how-ever we do have options. We can access emergency broadcasts via email and text, weather apps on our phones, and social me-dia including Next Door, Facebook, and Twitter. A hand-crank weather radio is a great emergency stock

item, as well. You can subscribe to re-

ceive these emergency warnings by going to the County website at jack-county.org. The button is on the front page to take you to sign-up. I get in-formation from Mitchell Davenport through this site and I think my Bryson emergency notifi cations

come through here, as well.

I have two weather apps on my iPhone, Wunder-ground Weather and NWS, that will alert me of warn-ings with a siren, whether the warning is a tornado, wildfi re, fl ood, or thun-derstorm. I get my apps through iTunes. Check your settings closely to re-ceive the alerts you want to receive.

Next Door is a local com-munity social media that only includes a small area of people. It appears to me that all of Jacksboro and some surrounding area is included in the one I just

joined and I live almost 10 miles outside of town.

Facebook provided much needed information be-cause all of your friends share their current circum-stances and it’s a really good place to fi nd out what damage was done in their area. Our local newspaper posts up to date/time info to keep you up to date on Facebook and Twitter.

Twitter is more real time information depending on your contacts and your settings. But, when all else fails, I have learned that even with the Internet down, electricity off, and only one bar of 1x tower, I can still send and receive texts on my phone, so I am seldom totally out of con-tact.

Y’all stay safe out there and know that the Repub-lican Party of Jack County wishes you and yours safe travel and a great summer!

Did you know?In 2014, the Centers for

Disease Control and Pre-vention and the United States Department of Ed-ucation released the fi rst federal uniform defi nition of bullying to help clarify instances of bullying from other occurrences.

At the crux of the defi ni-tion is unwanted aggres-sive behavior, observed or perceived power im-balance and repetition of behaviors or high likeli-hood of repetition. Bully-ing modes and types can vary.

The two modes of bul-lying include direct (bul-lying that occurs in the presence of a targeted youth) and indirect (bul-

lying not directly com-municated to a targeted youth such as spreading rumors).

In addition to these two modes, the four types of bullying are included in broad categories in the current defi nition: physi-cal, verbal, relational (ef-forts to harm the reputa-tion or relationships of the targeted youth), and damage to property.

Bullying may consti-tute criminal behavior and be punishable by law. According to the Na-tional Center for Educa-tion Statistics,28 percent of American students in grades six to 12 have ex-perienced bullying.

diving at PK Lake

The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, the world’s most thrilling high diving competition, returns to the U.S. this weekend.

Because of weather concerns the event was scheduled to start Thurs-day instead of its original Saturday.. Hell’s Gate at Possum Kingdom Lake will host the event for the second consecutive year and is the lone U.S. stop in the global series.

The competition will see divers in the Men’s Divi-sion dive off of Hell’s Gate from 90 feet above the water, while the Women’s Division competitors will dive from 65 feet. These elite divers will reach speeds of up to 56 mph during their three-second free fall, with nothing protecting them except world-class skills and their swimsuits.

The event will mark the return of 2014’s Red Bull

See DIVE page 6

Adverse weather con-tinues to wreak havoc on local sporting events, as Jacksboro’s participation in the 7-on-7 football was washed out Tuesday in Mineral Wells.

The Tiger varsity and JV were scheduled to face both Perrin and Min-eral Wells twice at Ram Stadium but Jacksboro didn’t hit the fi eld as Min-eral Wells and Perrin were forced off the fi eld due to lightning in the area in the fi rst game of the day and games were postponed af-ter that.

The squads had been competing for the last few weeks as an opportu-nity to stay fresh before two-a-day practices com-mence in early August. The squads will return to action Tuesday.

FORT WORTH


Cliff Diving female world champion and San Antonio native, Rachelle “Rocco” Simpson, who will be returning to her home state to compete in the fi rst stop of the women’s division in 2015. The 26-year-old high diver placed fi rst in all three women’s events last year and will look to keep her streak alive in front of her hometown fans this May.

Other top divers include American hopeful David Colturi, who fi nished fi fth overall last year and is aiming to take the crown from the UK’s Gary Hunt; who won last year’s Texas competition with historic high scores on the road to his fourth overall Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship.

Fans who want to attend must arrive by watercraft and remain on their wa-tercraft for the duration of the event. There are no concessions or restroom facilities. Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated. The land around the dive site within Sportsman’s World is private property and there is no public access. Spectators with large boats should ar-rive early and will be directed to the large

craft parking area toward the rear of the cove. Smaller boats, personal watercraft and boards should anchor in the front of the cove; follow the directions of water safety personnel.

Event attendees should plan to arrive early and expect heavy traffi c and longer-than-usual wait times at public docks. The docks closest to Hell’s Gate are Bluffs Creek Marina, Scenic Cove Boat Ramp and South D&D Boat Ramp.

Please be courteous and patient on the water. Law enforcement will be cracking down on boating violations and anyone operating any watercraft under the infl u-ence of alcohol.

Loud music is not permitted during com-petition for the safety of the divers. Abso-lutely no loud noises, shouting or distrac-tions to the divers will be tolerated during a dive.

This behavior puts the divers’ lives at risk, and offenders will be removed from the event site. Do feel free to scream like crazy after the divers surface from their dive.

Game warden fi eld notesNot Just Drugs But Assault Too After seeing two individuals in the

woods on the roadside, an Ellis County game warden stopped next to a vehicle parked partially on the road and no-ticed signs of marijuana use. The war-den searched a passenger in the vehicle and found a small bag of marijuana in his sock.

The warden also searched the vehicle and found a small bag of cocaine and other paraphernalia in a cigarette box. The passenger admitted the box was his after the warden found a bank card with his name on it in the box. The war-den also discovered the passenger was wanted on Texas Crime Information Center warrants for indecent exposure, aggravated assault and probation viola-tions.

The individual was arrested and mul-tiple charges are pending.Not Gone Fishing A Titus County game warden issued

a citation for no Commercial Finfi sh Li-cense to an individual who sold four red snapper and 60 tilapia from his home us-ing an online garage sale site. The case is pending.Door Ajar When a Titus County game warden

pulled over a moving vehicle after no-ticing the passenger door was open, he witnessed a female passenger throw cof-fee on the driver and slap him. After sep-arating the two, the warden discovered the woman was intoxicated and had just come from her great grandmother’s fu-neral.

Her car door was open because she was attempting to jump out of the mov-ing vehicle, having already done so once.

Three Mount Pleasant police offi cers responded to the scene after the war-den called them and told the woman they would give her a ride to the police lobby and fi nd another driver to trans-port her. At this point, the woman tried to kick the offi cers and the police car window out with her high heels.

The offi cers fi nally restrained her to an ambulance stretcher after she repeat-edly hit her head against the police car window.A Truck Goes Down with Its Boat A Titus County game warden re-

sponded to the Lake Monticello boat ramp after a truck and boat sank in the lake. A man trying to put his boat on his trailer allowed his grandchild to drive his truck, but the child ac-cidentally put the vehicle in reverse. Both the truck and trailer went into the lake.

A second child in the back seat was safely removed from the truck before it sank.“We thought you had left…” As he was patrolling the border

between Uvalde and Real counties, a Real County game warden ap-proached three individuals who were about to launch a 12-foot aluminum boat to go fishing.

The warden, who checked for life-jackets and did not find any, ex-plained the men needed lifejackets if they were planning to put the boat in

the water. The men said they would check the nearby store for lifejack-ets, and the warden left the scene to continue his patrol. However, as the warden was driving across the nearby bridge, he saw the individuals launch the boat and paddle downstream. The warden turned around and con-tacted with the individuals again. The boat owner said, “We thought you had left, so we decided to launch the boat anyway, even though you told us to get lifejackets.” The war-den issued the boat owner a citation for insufficient number of personal flotation devices.Underage Drinking and Other Ac-

tivities While on patrol at Canyon Lake, a

Bexar County game warden and Co-mal County game warden found four minors drinking alcohol. The war-dens also found a backpack at the scene with a bag of marijuana, a bag of a white powdery substance—which later tested positive for co-caine—and several other small bags of both substances. After sorting through the evidence, the wardens found the backpack owner had a to-tal of 22 grams of marijuana and 13 grams of cocaine. The owner was charged with the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance and with the delivery of marijuana, a state jail felony.Hide and Go Truck An Atascosa County game warden

was patrolling the south end of the county when he heard a McMullen County deputy sheriff had engaged in a high speed pursuit with a truck nearby. The truck allegedly held eight undocumented aliens and was fleeing from the deputy. The warden joined the pursuit.

After the truck intentionally drove through a high fence onto a 30,000-acre ranch, several agencies re-sponded to help search the area. The warden found the truck hidden in a large open barn and discovered that it wasn’t stolen; it was a rental truck from Dallas with an amber light on the roof, similar to those on oilfield workers’ trucks.

Another game warden and U.S. Bor-der Patrol agents arrived to help track the undocumented aliens for about half a mile in the brush. The agents apprehended six of the eight undocumented aliens. The truck and all other information were turned over to the Border Prosecution Unit for follow up on human smuggling.Shot in the Dark An Atascosa County game warden re-

ceived a call from a Lytle police offi cer who had detained four individuals with a freshly killed doe in the bed of their truck. They told the offi cer the deer was road kill, though they had spot-lights and a .17 HMR rifl e with them in the truck.

When the warden arrived, the individ-uals admitted they went for a road hunt-ing adventure and one of them shot the doe at night from a public road. Cases and civil restitution are pending.

Grants Ok’d for trail projectsAUSTIN — The Tex-

as Parks and Wild-life Commission on Thursday approved $2.38 million in fed-eral grants for 17 rec-reational trail projects across the state.

The National Recre-ational Trails Fund (NRTF) comes from a portion of the federal gas tax generated by gasoline purchases for off-road motorcycles and four-wheelers.

The purpose of the NRTF is to create new, or improve existing, recreational trails.

A requirement of the NRTF is that 30 per-cent of the total funds must be spent on mo-torized recreational trails, 30 percent on non-motorized trail projects with the re-maining 40 percent be-ing discretionary.

Motorized trails proj-ect sponsors that were awarded funding in-clude the Texas Mo-torized Trail Coalition and the White River Municipal Water Dis-trict.

The non-motorized trail projects awarded

funding are listed in alphabetical order by county below:

The North Texas Ru-ral Rail Transporta-tion District in Archer and Wichita counties was awarded $199,680 for Wichita Valley Rail-way Daylight Trail im-provements, which in-clude renovating 6.5 miles of rail trail with improved surfacing.

The City of DeSoto in Dallas County was awarded $200,000 to improve the DeSoto Ranch Park Nature Trail by constructing a new 1.5-mile trail, signs, a bridge and boardwalk and install-ing benches, a bicycle station, parking lot and trashcans.

The Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center at Ce-dar Hill in Dallas Coun-ty received $43,120 to improve the Flower-ing Dogwood Trail and Observation Tower. Improvements include adding a one-mile trail and signs, interpretive and educational signs, benches, bridges and an observation deck.

The Mountain Creek

Community Church with DORBA in Dallas County was awarded $130,000 to improve the Big Cedar Pavilion and Wounded Warriors Trail.

Improvements in-clude constructing a new 1.5-mile trail and renovating one mile of existing trail, the pavilion, restrooms, signs, bridges, park-ing, water fountain, bike rack and fire hy-drant, as well as mak-ing the trail accessi-ble.

The City of Denison in Grayson County was granted $200,000 to improve trails at Wa-terloo Lake Regional Park. Improvements include renovating ex-isting trails and con-structing a new 0.5-mile concrete trail and retaining walls, as well as improving the parking lot, signs and bridges. Funding for the following proj-ects was also autho-rized by the commis-sion, contingent upon National Recreational Trail Fund apportion-ment.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

City issuesJacksboro is a decaying

city that only survives year-to-year by trying to repair the items that get broken and need atten-tion the most. Over the last 20 years, the streets, sewers, water pipes have all decayed to a state that is worse now than then.

I met with the city man-ager, Mike Smith, to dis-cuss these issues and others. Mike seems to be

a nice guy. He explained the process for replac-ing the water lines, relin-ing the sewer pipes, and his three-man road crew. Even though Mike is a nice guy he seemed more con-cerned about the words I used to address the prob-lems rather than explain how the problems will be resolved. The city uses lack of funds, which it defi nitely has, as defense for not upgrading the city infrastructure. The Citi-

zens of Jacksboro cannot use this same defense for violations of the city code infractions. WHY NOT? I have always felt the city should be held to the same standard as its Citi-zens.

I asked Mike where this city would be another 20 years down the road. A question he failed to an-swer but side tracked it by telling me the city would replace the water pipes, line the sewer pipes, and

three men would do what road work they could which essentially means he did not have a clue.

The city decided to close Twin Lakes Road through the ball parks when games are scheduled at the ball park. What a disaster that is. At fi rst there was no detour sign telling anyone where to go. Now there is a sign but the people that attend the games seem to not realize that the de-tour is a road and actually

park in the road. Most of the time there is only one lane of traffi c passable at some point through the detour. The turn out at the spillway also gets parked up so if someone is com-ing across the spillway there is no where to go but backwards. It appears someone thought this up to protect the people for the ballgames but actu-ally made it more danger-ous for the children’s side of the park and local traf-

fi c. Implementation of this needs to be re-thought.

Mike did inform me that he reports to the City Council. I forgot to tell him the City Council works for me as a citizen of Jacksboro. It is my job to get them in line or get rid of them.

I have always held to the old adage “The govern-ment that governs least governs best.”

The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category.

Abbott, Straus announce tax relief compromiseAUSTIN — Gov. Greg Ab-

bott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Joe Straus on May 21 jointly announced a $3.8 billion tax relief package for Tex-as businesses and home-owners.

According to the an-nouncement, the agree-ment reached by Patrick and Straus on a tax pro-posal, along with ad-ditional legislation, in-cludes:

1. A 25 percent perma-nent reduction in the business margins tax;

2. A $10,000 increase in the homestead exemp-tion, beginning in 2015, subject to passage of a constitutional amend-ment adopted in the No-vember election; and

3. SB 1760, legislation re-quiring a 60 percent vote of the governing body of any taxing unit wishing to adopt an increase in prop-erty taxes that exceeds the effective tax rate.

“Texas leaders have come together to advance conservative principles that will improve the lives of Texans and continue to make Texas the model for doing business,” Abbott said. “Every dollar busi-nesses and homeowners pay in taxes is a dollar that could be invested in new jobs, higher wages and stimulating the Texas economy.”

Meanwhile, the passage of a state budget for fi s-cal years 2016 and 2017, the Legislature’s primary

task, is in its fi nal stages. The buzz around the Cap-itol before Memorial Day weekend was that with tax relief resolved, an agreement on the budget that will satisfy the gov-ernor’s expectations will soon follow.

Unemployment numbers reported

Texas Workforce Com-mission on May 22 report-ed Texas has added an estimated 287,000 season-ally adjusted jobs over

the past year including a modest gain in April with the addition of 1,200 posi-tions during the month.

The state unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2 percent in April, down a full percentage point from 5.2 percent a year ago. Texas continues to trend well below the na-tional unemployment rate of 5.4 percent.

Job gains for April were led by the Leisure and Hospitality industry, which added 6,900 posi-tions. The Information industry enjoyed its larg-est monthly gain for the industry since June 2000 with the addition of 3,400 jobs in April. Other Ser-vices gained 2,800 jobs during the month fol-lowed by Trade, Trans-portation and Utilities,

which expanded by 2,100 positions.

“We know that there are still folks who are looking for good-paying jobs in our state and we encour-age them to take advan-tage of the many resourc-es made available through Texas Workforce Solu-tions,” said TWC Com-missioner Representing Labor Ronny Congleton. “Through our Workforce Solutions offi ces around the state, staff that can help steer job seekers to employment and training opportunities. With more than 260,000 available jobs currently posted on WorkInTexas.com, job seekers have good op-tions here in Texas.”

Legislators agree on e-cig bill

SB 97 by Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAl-len, would ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. The Senate concurred with House amendments on May 18, allowing the legislation to proceed to the governor’s offi ce for a fi nal signature.

According to the Senate news service, House pro-visions added to the bill would strengthen on-line sales restrictions and the penalty for selling e-ciga-rettes to minors would be a fi ne of up to $500, the same as selling tobacco products to a minor. If Gov. Abbott signs the bill into law, it will take effect on Oct. 1.

E-cigarettes vaporize a liquid containing nico-tine that is inhaled by the user. Hinojosa expressed concern that use of “vap-ing” products is growing among younger Texans, saying, “We now have many minors using e-cigs in school because they think that it is a way to avoid smoking tobacco cigarettes.”

A 2014 survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol and Federal Drug Ad-ministration shows e-cig-arette use increasing from 4.5 percent to 13.4 percent of high school students and 1.1 percent to 3.9 per-cent of middle school stu-dents in a single year.
