Past… Present… Future…

October 2013
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Girl Scout Troop 7286. These delightful girls
asked some very good questions concerning how to run the City and the job of Mayor.
I was able to share with them what it takes to be a leader and it was the same
principles that they are learning and practicing...To serve God and my country and to
help people at all times. I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring, courageous, strong and responsible for what I say and do, and
to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely and make the
world a better place. I encouraged them to always remember these, especially in
difficult times, so that they will make the best decisions. Thank you GIRL SCOUT
TROOP 7286 for your service to the Hallsville community!
Other things that have been happening in the life of our community that I've been
involved with was the National Night out at the Park. Super turn out. There was lots of
good food and activities for the whole family. Thanks to the Hallsville Police Dept. and
the Hallsville Volunteer Fire Dept. for hosting such an awesome event for the
community. Western Days was, as always, so much fun. There was a good turn
out Friday night for the 'street dance' with booths open for shopping, information and
food. Saturday the booths were open early, the parade began at 10:00 with
more activities following it. That evening was the annual Miss Hallsville pageant.
Thank you Charlotte Anderson and the rest of the Western Days Committee for all
your hard work making this a fun event for all.
One of my goals for 2014 is to form a City Advisory Board made up of citizens who
would like to help look into some short-term as well as long-range goals for our City. I
would like a board of 15 or so. If you would like to serve or even to think about it,
please shoot me an email with your name and contact information. Please include why
you would be interested in serving and some of your background information if you
have any experience along these lines. This is open to all citizens and the only
requirements are that you love our City and want to help plan for the future. It is taking
a while researching and coming up with guidelines so be patient. Before you make
your final decision, we will meet; I will go over expectations and what is currently going
as well as upcoming projects.
As always, please 'friend/like' City of Hallsville and Hallsville Police Dept. on Facebook
and look at our webpage, cityofhallsvilletx.com, for continual updates of the going-ons
in the community.
If ever you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to contact me
at [email protected] or 903-668-2313 (City Hall) or 903-806-4587 (cell).

Dear citizens and community, the Hallsville Police Department
would like to participate in the annual No Shave November
campaign. We have included a link to the website with more
information.
The HPD officers will donate a nominal amount per shift in order
to not have to shave for that day. All the money donated by all
HPD officers will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
The HPD would like to have the citizens join us in this endeavor to
include other Hallsville Community Organizations or departments
and other first responder agencies. We would like to encourage
citizens and businesses to sponsor the HPD or individual officers
with all proceeds going to the American Cancer.
You can now pay
your
Water and Utilities
Or Traffic Tickets
On line!

A Unique Way to Raise Cancer Awareness

We will also have jars set up at the City of Hallsville City Hall with
pictures of each officer’s unshaven face. You can vote for best and
worst facial hair with your nominal donations or just make
donations at this location. All money will be collect at City Hall. If
any other organization, department or first responder agency
would like to join us, they are welcome to place pictures of their
participants along with ours.
The City of Hallsville and the Hallsville Police Department would
like to write one big check to the American Cancer Society
because we have all been affected by Cancer.
The Hallsville Community has set a very high standard for being
Virtuous and a fantastic place to live. We are still a Norman
Rockwell community and very few places can say that.
The Hallsville Police Department feels that this is a fun and
cooperative way for the Hallsville Community to show support for
this outstanding organization. In the future, the Hallsville Police
Department would like to expand this event and challenge
neighboring police, fire and first responder agencies and other
businesses too.
More information will be made available through our Facebook
page www.facebook.com/hallsvillepolice and the City of Hallsville
Facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/City-of-Hallsville .
Thank you so much for your assistance and your support. You, the
Hallsville Citizens and the Hallsville Community, are the major
reason that we have developed a High Speed and Professional
Department that is second to none. You are our motivation and
foundation upon which we strive to reach our full potential.
We have 1,435 active accounts and put in 20 new

Attention Hallsville
It is that time of year where the weather change, the air is crisper and the days are shorter. Many of us have found memories of our childhood and all
the cool stuff we used to do. Most of us are gearing up for our favorite holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or etc.).
Another group of people who are gearing up that you NEED to be aware of is CRIMINALS.
Yes, they love this time of year because the night is longer and the weather is cooler. This gives them the opportunity to run around in the dark for
longer periods of time. Most of us are not out and about due to the cold so there are not as many eyes and ears around to give them away.
Most CRIMINALS will look for easy targets (open or unlocked vehicles, houses, RVs, trailers, etc.). If they can run through your neighborhood and
burglarize as many vehicles, houses, etc. in a short amount of time, then all the better for them.
The Hallsville Police Department is urging it’s citizens and community to stay vigilant and lock up your vehicles, houses, RVs, trailers and other
items. Do not allow yourself to be a victim.
Please take pictures of your prized possessions and expensive items. Also, take pictures of your serial numbers on the items that have them. This
will come in handy, trust me!
Once you have compiled all your pictures and serials numbers, you may want to provide that information to your insurance company so they also
have it on file. Your insurance company will thank you for them, as it will greatly assist them in their performance of services they provide you.
The Hallsville Police Department will also be posting its Holiday Shopping Safety Suggestions as it did for the first time last year.
FOOTBALL
These are helpful and informative tips for you to remember and use during your holiday shopping trips to ensure a safe and fun experience. The
Hallsville Police Department does not want anyone to have a heinous act committed against anyone, especially if it could have been prevented by
some information and education.
As always, the Hallsville Police Department would like to thank you for assistance and continued F.A.I.T.H. in your police department. Thank you.
P.S. Please invite your family, friends and loved ones to join our Facebook page and our website, as we will continue to provide updates and
pertinent information for our Amazing Community.
