Cooke County Justice of the
Peace, Dorthy Lewis gave me a
call the other day and was discussing some scary statistics that she
read where the first 100 days after
Memorial Day have been labeled
the “100 Deadliest Days for Teen
Drivers.” Apparently, from 2010
to 2014, more than 5,000 people
have died in crashes involving
teen drivers in those 100 days.
A new study showed that nearly
60% of teen crashes involved distracted drivers. It also states that
over the past five years, the average number of crashes with drivers ages 16 to 19 increased 16%
per day during the “100 Deadliest Days,” compared with all the
other days of the year. Not sure
about everyone else but this is a
very scary statistic. So if you have
a child or know of someone that
might fit this demographic please
make sure and encourage them to
drive safe this summer. Let’s try
and keep Cooke County teens
from being just another number
in a study.
On a much more positive note,
I would like to wish a Happy 50th
Anniversary to Cass W. and Rita
“Sue” Stevens Reasor who will
celebrate their golden anniversary
on June 11, 2016. The couple was
married June 11, 1966 at New
Hope Baptist Church in Burns
City. The couple’s children and
grandchildren are hosting an allday celebration and a reception
Saturday, June 11 from 2:00 to
4:00 pm at the Mt. Springs Community Center in Mt. Springs.
Here is some more of what’s
happening around town this
week.

LINDSAY – The Lindsay ISD
Board of Trustees convened at
7:03 p.m. on the evening of Monday, May 23, where they welcomed
newly elected members to the
board. Judge Janelle Haverkamp
administered the Oath of Office
to Incumbent Phillip Metzler, and
to new members, Olivia Neu and
Ben Hawkins. Outgoing member
Wayne Fleitman was recognized
for his service to the board.
At 7:13 p.m., the board retreated in Executive Session to
discuss the resignation of a board
member. At 7:22 p.m., the board
reconvened into open session
and accepted the resignation of
trustee Phillip Metzler. Metzler
resigned from his position due to
the nepotism law and the district’s
desire to hire a relative of Metzler.
The board then unanimously appointed Cody Martin to complete a one-year term for the seat
vacated by Metzler. This seat will
be up for election in May 2017
for the remaining 2 years of the
term. Martin was also administered the Oath of Office by Judge
Haverkamp.
Board members then took
nominations for the board officers positions. Cory Maydew was
named as President, Chris Hundt was named as Vice President,
and Jenny Corcoran was named
as board secretary. The meetings
will continue on their regularly
scheduled days and times of 7:00
p.m. on the third Monday of each
month.
During reports, Director of Finance Diane Zimmerer presented
the preliminary budget for 20162017. The preliminary appraised
tax value is $477,000,000. This is
a $100 million increase in property value from the 2015-2016 year.
The increase will cause a tax rollback from the current year’s tax
rate of $1.04 for the 2016-2017
school year. The preliminary rate
is approximately $0.95 for the
M&O tax rate. Consultant Tom
Zimmerer was present to answer
any questions concerning the
possible rollback. Student enrollment directly affects the amount
of money sent back to TEA. It is

also estimated a target enrollment
for LISD to break even would
be about 531 students. Currently, the projected enrollment for
2016-2017 is approximately 465
students.
Other financial items were discussed with no action taken. The
board scheduled another budget
workshop for May 31 at 6:00
p.m. to make final decisions concerning the budget. LISD must
adopt a budget for 2016-2017 by
June 30 and must adopt a tax rate
by the end of August.
Technology Director Chris
Anderle reviewed the technology
budget requests for 2016-2017
with an estimated cost of $70,000
for items such as access points
for the infrastructure, servers,
and possibly additional tablets
for student use. The board asked
Anderle to prioritize the district
technology needs to present at the
budget workshop on May 31.
In the Administrator reports,
Elementary Principal Amber
Fuhrmann stated that enrollment for K-6 grades was 255 students, with an attendance rate of
97.87% in February and a passing rate of 98% at the end of
the 5th six weeks. High School
Principal Steve Cope said that he
has 235 students enrolled with
an attendance rate of 97.4% and
a passing rate of 96.9%. Cope
noted that Lindsay High School
won the High School Regional UIL Contest April 22-23 at
Grayson Community College in
Sherman, Texas. Cope also presented the STAAR test results
and a list of the CTE (Career
Tech) classes which are predicted to be offered for 2016-2017.

GAVA Awards Scholarships For
Local College Bound Art Students
GAINESVILLE – Gainesville
Area Visual Arts (GAVA) has
awarded $5000 to local students pursuing careers in the
Arts. In February, GAVA’s art
show For the Love of Art, is
sponsored by local businesses
and individuals, and the event
showcases GAVA members’ artwork. Proceeds from the art
show go directly to the scholarships that GAVA was happy
to deliver this week to local
high school seniors. Joe Conner worked for months with
fellow GAVA officer Pam Ingham to obtain applicants and
collect the artists portfolios so
they could be voted on for the
scholarship.
GAVA President, Tony Avila
said “Raising the money is only
half the battle. It is an enormous effort to acquire applicants and coordinate the voting
process. It would be impossible
to do this without Joe and Pam
taking charge and getting applicants. They are awesome!”
In all, eight incredibly artistic and talented high school
seniors applied for the scholarship this year. Even bigger
than the turnout, is the record
year for GAVA, being able to
award eight scholarships totaling $5000.00! Recipients were
from across the area including
Gainesville, Callisburg and Era.
The following scholarships
were voted on and awarded:
Cari Croninger, $1500; Jackson
Lane, $1000; Caitlyn Samek,
$750; Jessie Bryant, $750; Anna
Beall, $250; Isabelle Campbell,

Gem Ceremony Held
For NTMC Auxiliary
GAINESVILLE – A gem
finds its value in its rarity and beauty. So it is
very fitting that gems were
the theme for the 2016

The NTMC Auxiliary
gathered at First Christian
Church to enjoy an excellent meal, fellowship, and
to install the 2016-2017

at NTMC, was the master
of ceremonies for the installation of the officers. As
each new or returning offi-
cer came forward they were
presented with an item to
represent the gem they were

A Trump Presidency Would Sink All Boats
By Froma Harrop
Hello, investors. Come join
the foreign policy experts in
daily panic attacks over what
a President Donald Trump
would mean for your world.
What does one do about a
candidate whose tax plan
would send America into
the fiscal abyss -- who flaps
lips about not making good
on the national debt?
Should we be investing
in the makers of Xanax and
Klonopin? And on the personal side, are there enough
benzodiazepines to go
around?
We’re not talking just
about the very rich. Anyone
with a retirement account or
a small portfolio has something to lose. The economic
consensus is that a Trump
presidency would sink all
boats. And that certainly
applies to Trump’s own economically struggling followers in the least seaworthy
craft.
“Most Rust Belt working-
class Americans don’t get
it,” Bob Deitrick, CEO of
Polaris Financial Partners in
Westerville, Ohio, told me.
“The working class thinks
he’s going to stick it to the
elites.”
The facts: The Trump tax
plan would deliver an average tax cut of $1.3 million to
those with annual incomes
exceeding $3.7 million. The
lowest-income households
would get $128. (No missing
zeros here.)
Folks in the middle would
see federal taxes reduced by
about $2,700, which sounds
nice but would come out of
their own hide. Medicare
and other programs that benefit the middle class would
have to be slashed. So would
spending on science research,
infrastructure and services essential to the U.S. economy.
Or we could skip the very
deep spending cuts and see
the national debt balloon by
nearly 80 percent of gross
domestic product, calculation courtesy of the Tax Policy Center.
Some might think that
Trump’s tax plan -- including
the repeal of the federal tax
on estates bigger than $5.43
million -- would impress the
income elite, but they would
be wrong. In a recent poll of
Fortune 500 executives, 58
percent of the respondents
said they would support
Hillary Clinton over Trump.
Most in this Republicanleaning group are undoubt-
edly asking themselves: What
good is a fur-lined deck chair
if the ship’s going down?
Then there are the others.
“Do middle-class Americans have any idea what
could happen to the economy or the stock market if
our president ever vaguely
suggested defaulting on the
national debt?” Deitrick
asked. (His clients tend to
be upper-middle-class investors.)
He recalls the summer of
2011, when a congressional
game of chicken over raising the federal debt ceiling
led to the possibility of a
default. The Dow lost 2,400
points in a single week. And
taxpayers were hit with $1.3
billion in higher borrowing
costs that year alone.
Trump said on CNN that
he is the “king of debt,”
which in practice means he
frequently doesn’t honor
it. That’s why many major
lenders shun him, talking of
“Donald risk.”
Speaking of, Trump fa-
mously said in a Trump
University interview, “I sort
of hope (the real estate market crashes), because then
people like me would go in
and buy.”
But he also predicted that
the real estate market would
not tank -- shortly before it
did. Perhaps he never figured out there was a housing bubble. Or it was part
of a clever scheme to peddle
real estate courses with brochures asking, “How would
you like to market-proof
your financial future?”
Imagine a whole country
taking on “Donald risk.”
The business community
runs on stability. It can’t
prosper under a showman
who says crazy things and
denies having said them
moments later. A Trump
presidency promises more
chaos than a Marx Brothers
movie -- and you can believe
it would be a lot less fun.

A Gorilla ‘Tragedy’
By Mona Charen
A gorilla has taken control
of your TV set.
What an apt metaphor
for the past year. In fact,
of course, I refer to the actual gorilla that was (if you
take the word of some of
the more unhinged commenters on social media)
“assassinated” by zoo officials in Cincinnati.
I nearly wrote “who,” but
that would be to commit
the error so many are making in this case -- confusing
animals with people.
To recap: A family visited the gorilla exhibit over
Memorial Day weekend. A
3-year-old child managed
to slip into the gorilla enclosure while his mother
was distracted.
Zoo officials explained
that under these circumstances, they could not risk
attempting to tranquilize the animal, because 1)
tranquilizer darts take time
to work; 2) the dart could
have angered the ape; and
3) it would have taken only
a matter of seconds for the
gorilla to kill the child.
One criticism of the zoo
seems entirely sensible and
understandable: Why was
the enclosure not childproof? At every zoo I’ve visited, visitors are kept safely
away from dangerous animals. So if the fence wasn’t
secure enough to prevent a
3-year-old from squeezing
through, someone should
lose his job. Thank God a
tragedy was averted by the
quick action of zoo officials,
who did the only thing they
could do by shooting the
gorilla (and good shot, by
the way), but it could have
been much worse.
But wait. In an avalanche
of moral confusion, many
people seem to have their
heads screwed on wrong.
The death of the animal
-- a shame, to be sure -- is

To the Editor,
I am in complete agreement with Dean Smith and
how it outrages him to see
dogs in the back of pickups.
In my home state, the dog
has to be tied to the back of
the cab and the leash has to
be short enough so that the
dog can not get to the edge
of the truck and hang himself jumping over. There,
you will be ticketed and
more. We need to make
better animal laws in Texas.
I have seen dogs in the back
of a pickup, lifting one foot
at a time because it is burning his feet. What is wrong
with people? If you can’t
treat your dog correctly,
leave it at home.

being called a “tragedy.”
Oh, yes, the White House
spokesman himself said so.
A string of silly celebrities
wailed that the gorilla had
been killed due to poor
parenting. Actor Trevor
Donovan tweeted, “’17 yr
old Harambe the gorilla
was shot dead after boy falls
into Ohio zoo enclosure’
Where were the parents?!”
Donovan must not have
children. Those of us who
do are aware that as watchful as we are, children can
still put themselves in danger sometimes. Where are
all these parenting police
when parents do truly awful things, like giving their
children drugs, or guns, or
letting them watch TV 10
hours a day? I have no idea
whether Michelle Gregg,
the boy’s mother, is a good
parent or not, but I do
know that the fact that he
was out of her sight for a
few seconds doesn’t answer
that question.
Actress Kaley Cuoco
posted, “Once again, another animal being killed
over people not using their
brains. If you watch the
footage, you see this gorgeous animal holding the
child’s hand. Do with that
what you will.” Here’s what
I do with it: I look at what
happened after the first
few seconds. Harambe, the
450-pound male gorilla, at
first treated the little boy

gently, but then, perhaps
agitated by the crowd’s
cries, dragged the child by
the ankle through the water
and into another section of
the exhibit. The boy’s head
was banging on concrete. It
was not a scene from “Curious George.”
An online petition calling
for “Justice for Harambe”
has received 100,000 signatures. CNN informs us
that the name Harambe is
Swahili for “come together
for a common cause.” And
the Cincinnati police are
reportedly investigating the
little boy’s family. “Cincinnati police said Tuesday
that their review will focus
on the actions of the boy’s
parents and family,” CNN
reported. “It is not related
to the operation or safety
of the Cincinnati Zoo, authorities said.” Well, that’s
completely backward.
Concern for animal welfare is not decadent. Some
serious people argue that
zoos and aquariums are
inherently cruel, and they
deserve a hearing. What’s
so off about the reactions to
this sad tale is the confusion
about who has moral standing. “Justice” is not something to which animals are
entitled, because animals
are not moral agents. Those
demanding “justice” for a
gorilla are saying something
nonsensical. Suppose the
gorilla had climbed out of
the enclosure and grabbed
the boy? Would his advocates demand that he be
tried for assault? Of course
not. The gorilla cannot be
held legally or morally liable for his actions because
he is a dumb beast. By the
same token, he cannot receive “justice” from anyone.
Animals can and should be
treated humanely not because they are humane but
because we are.

Meals on Wheels Receives
Grant for ‘Furry Friends’
DENISON – Knowing that
seniors with pets are 36%
less likely to report loneliness and have 21% fewer
doctor visits*, Meals on
Wheels Texoma is proud
to announce that it has received a $2,500 grant from
Meals on Wheels America
to support its client pet assistance program. Funding
will be used to provide food,
supplies and veterinary care
for Meals on Wheels Texoma’s clients with pets.
“It has been said that pets
are not our whole lives, but
they make our lives whole,”
said Greg Pittman, Executive Director of Meals on
Wheels Texoma. “I believe
this is especially true for
our senior citizens who live
alone. A pet is a constant
companion, providing a
source of affection and attention, asking for nothing
in return. A couple of years
ago, one of our volunteers
told me about one of our
clients who couldn’t afford
to buy pet food, so she was
sharing the meal we delivered to her with her dog.
We decided then that we
were going to find a way to
keep our clients from having to choose whether to
feed themselves or their pet.
That was the beginning of
our Pet Assistance Program.
Since then we have helped
dozens of clients with pet
food, pet medications and
vaccinations, flea and tick
medicine, heartworm preventive, and even temporary
boarding assistance.”
In total, Meals on
Wheels America has granted $300,000 to 162 local
Meals on Wheels programs
through the Meals on
Wheels Loves Pets initiative
this year. Funding is made
possible in part through
a donation from Banfield
Charitable Trust (BCT),
who in October of 2015,
handed over all funding and
grants administration responsibilities for their popular Pet Assistance Grant Program to Meals on Wheels
America. To date, the grant
program has distributed
more than $2.1 million in
funding and pet food donations to over 300 local Meals
on Wheels programs across
the nation.
“The Meals on Wheels
Loves Pets initiative is just
another way that Meals on
Wheels can deliver so much
more than just a meal,” said
Meals on Wheels America
President and CEO Ellie
Hollander. “Through grant
funding, educational opportunities and in-kind
donations for our member
programs, we hope to grow
current pet programs and
help those looking to start
new ones.”
Meals on Wheels of Texoma promotes and supports
the health and quality of life
of senior citizens and disabled
persons by preparing, serving, and delivering nutritionally balanced meals. Founded
in 1980, the organization
has grown to serve a total of
385,000 meals to 3,000 senior citizens every year. More
than 600 volunteers help in
delivering meals for the organization, saving an estimated
$750,000 each year in associated delivery costs.
The Meals on Wheels
Texoma Furry Friends program provides assistance for
companion animals that belong to our elderly and disabled neighbors in need. We
believe that the unconditional love of a pet improves
the lives of anyone lucky
enough to have one.
Pets reduce stress, lower

GAVA Awards Scholarships
For Local Art Students
(Continued from Page 1)
big checks as their school
year wrapped up.
“As I was signing the big
ceremonial checks, I was
thinking how it really is a
blessing to be able to support these incredibly talented young people. Art
is all but gone from school
curriculum, so it is great to
see students excel at their
passion,” said Avila.
GAVA has the most successful art show in North
Texas and the kids benefit
from that. What was once a
single $500 scholarship has
now grown into ten times
that amount. Avila said,
“We couldn’t do it without
the GAVA members and
our wonderfully supportive
community.” GAVA currently has artwork on display at local businesses and
at the Morton Museum. Ingham and Conner are coordinating the next big GAVA
art show at the Santa Fe Depot in September. It is sure
to be a hit. Stay tuned.

Summers’ awarded scholarships to nine recipients
this year. For the fourth
consecutive year, the Leadership Montague County
organization board of directors served as the scholarship selection committee
and is proud of each recipient, congratulating their accomplishments and wishing
them future successes.
Derrick Morse, the coordinator for the Saint Jo based
‘Rednecks With Paychecks’
organization proudly offers
the scholarship funds to assist with defraying a portion
of the cost of a higher education to area students and to
market the importance for
students to return to their

feelings of isolation and
loneliness, and most importantly, they make us smile.
While there is little doubt
that pets make us happy,
they can also expensive.
We recognize that some seniors may need a little help
to keep their Furry Friends
healthy and happy. This is
why we started the Furry
Friends program, which
provides assistance for petrelated expenses, such as pet
food, medication, flea and
tick treatment, grooming,
temporary boarding and
veterinary care (excluding
spay and neuter services). In
order to request assistance,
the applicant must be a current recipient of Meals on
Wheels of Texoma services,
and the animal must belong
to and live with the meal recipient. For more information about the program or
to request assistance, please
