EAST TEXAS–Hend-erson and KaufmanCounty Clerks said Fridaythey would wait for direc-tion from Texas AttorneyGeneral Ken Paxton andnew forms before pro-ceeding with issuing same-sex marriage licenses.

The U.S. SupremeCourt struck down banson same-sex marriagesnationwide June 26, and itdeclared same-sex mar-riage already performed inother states to be recog-nized by all states.

Personnel at the Hend-erson and KaufmanCounty Clerks offices saidPaxton’s office instructedthem to wait for authoriza-tion and new marriage li-

County Clerksawait same-sexmarriage forms

acceptancecense forms before start-ing the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses.

The Cedar Creek Lakearea has a sizable LGBTpopulation.

“We will start issuingthem as soon as we re-ceive the notification,” saidSusan Bass, chief deputyof the Henderson CountyClerk’s office.

Kaufman County ClerkLaura Hughes also saidher office would comply.“When we get it, we areready,” she said.

Both officials said theywere unsure when theywould get the word to pro-ceed.

In nearby DallasCounty, which has one ofthe largest LGBT popula-

thousands."The variety keeps us on

our toes." He said askinghim for a favorite venue islike asking him which of hiskids he loves most. "Any-time I get to perform mymusic and share my faithand family with my fans isa blessing from God. Weboth benefit from a posi-tive influence," he said. "Allof it has been a wonderfulexperience."

When asked if he hadany advice for fathers, hesaid keeping his focus onhis own Heavenly fatherhelps him be more fo-cused on his marriage andchildren. "When you be-come a father, it's nolonger about you."

His faith isn't a once-a-week go-to-church kindof faith but a living,breathing companionabletype of faith. "I don't feelI get away to pray enough,but throughout my day Ifeel I am always consult-ing with Him. It's not aboutperfection, it's about per-

sistence.”The same philosophy

has guided his career, hesaid. "It took 15 years up-hill to have a hit album(Underdog). Slow andsteady wins the race."

As Watson emergesfrom an underdog to a topdog, he says maintaining

perspective is important."At the end of the day,

I'm just a guy playing aguitar. Self-absorbedrock stars need to realizethey don't have the curefor cancer," he said.

He closed the interviewby thanking his fans in GunBarrel City for coming to

the show and he's reallyexcited about meetingthem. Part of that lookingforward to the show in-cludes some well de-served R&R with his fam-ily.

After the show, he andhis family are "Here today,Gone to Maui!"

GUN BARREL CITY– The Gun Barrel CityCouncil began wranglingover the 2015-16 budgetJune 23.

Councilman Rob Reawanted to approve theleasing of four new Chev-rolet Tahoes for the policedepartment at $58,704per year, but other coun-cil members said theywanted to wait until afterthey conduct comprehen-sive budget workshops to

City Counil discusses 2015 budgetmake such a commitment.Rea said he wanted tolease four new vehicles forthe police department ev-ery year.

“We need to take a pro-active stance right this sec-ond and get our policedepartment back ontrack,” Rea said “This isan emergency measure inmy mind.”

Rea said police vehiclesare aging and possiblydangerous should a policechase ensure.

The agenda failed on a3 to 2 vote with Ron

Wyrick siding with Rea.Rea said the city has

unencumbered funds of$1 million available, butCouncilwoman CarolCalkins said after themeeting that the city mustmaintain three months ofoperating expenses in re-serve which wouldamount to about$820,000 of that $1 mil-lion dollars.

Calkins said she be-lieved Rea’s request failedto meet the requirementsof the City Charter be-cause the 2014-15 bud-

get did not address newvehicles for the police de-partment.

Mayor Pro Tem DennisBaade and Council-woman Linda Rankin saidthey want to pursue stra-tegic long-term planningbefore they make anybudget commitments forthe new fiscal year. Baadenoted that city officialsmust consider the vehiclesneeds of all city depart-ments and how far fundscan be stretched.

Council members metin a budget workshop re-

cently to amend the 2014-15 budget because ofconcerns Calkins raised atthe May meeting aboutthe city being over budget.They approved anamendment shifting fundsin numerous areas to in-crease funding for potholerepairs and meet theneeds of the fire and po-lice departments.

Mayor Jim Braswellsaid the council’s prioritieswill always be to guaran-tee the safety of the pub-

MISD to receive $300,000 more for 2015-16By Robyn WheelerMonitor Staff Writer

MABANK–MabankISD trustees met June 22to present the junior highschool eighth gradebronze and silver medalwinners for their aca-demic success in the As-pire reading, science,math, English language,arts and writing catego-ries.

Bronze winners in-cluded Jake Carter,Konner Kemp, Savan-nah Parkhurst, JulietPridgen, Sierra Rudman,Haile Stephens, LayneeTanksley, MeganTarbutton and AshleyTupper.

Silver winners wereJ.T. Morin, Garrett Ray,Presley Reese, MariaSanchez and LeighannSweet.

Trustees also dis-cussed the 2015-16 bud-get based on no studentgrowth, no lower sala-ries for teacher replace-ment, no Erate reim-bursement and no addi-tional SHARS funds.The budget includesspending $400,000 forfour buses, $20,000 fortwo trucks and twoSUVs, a police car for$6,500, maintenancevan for $7,500 and twomowers for $25,000.Total expenses were es-timated at $26,901,275and total revenue wasestimated at$27,376,500.

The board approvedspending $90,000 on 20used Dell computers forthe labs and to upgrade

teacher computersthroughout the year.

The new salary sched-ules, approved of atprior meetings, will helpwith hiring with minimalimpact on the budget.

“Everyone in steps 1-6 will get a raise. Thiswill affect all staff begin-ning school Aug. 24. Ithink $130,000 -$150,000 a year shouldcover it,” MISD Super-intendent Dr. RussellMarshall said.

MISD Assistant Su-perintendent ScottAdams reviewed theyear-end financials. “Wehave a 93.1 percent taxcollection rate and willreceive more state fund-ing because we have 30more students than lastyear. Each student isequal to about another$5,000 so we shouldhave $300,000 more inthe budget.”

In other news, trust-ees:

• heard the high schoolAll-State band awards

will be presented at theAugust meeting.

• agreed to move thepayroll date to the 15thof each month.

“We change the paydate in November, De-cember, January andFebruary,” Adams said.“This way, the new staffcoming in Aug. 14 won’thave to wait so long toreceive their first pay-check.”

GUN BARREL CITY –Several residents in recentweeks went to the CityPark Pavilion on Saturdaymorning hoping to shopfor fresh fruit and veg-etables.

They went away disap-pointed after finding thepavilion empty. The open-ing of Gun Barrel City’sFarmers Market, whichwas scheduled for May30, never took place.

Gun Barrel City Man-ager Gerry Boren said cityofficials had to delay the

Farmer’s market opening halted after rain delaysopening because of theheavy, above-averagerains in May and June pre-venting the growing andharvesting of crops by lo-cal farmers and gardeners.

“We haven’t been ableto get anyone to sign up,”Boren said. “They askedto hold up the opening be-cause they lost their cropsto the rain.”

The city planned to of-fer free space to local farm-ers and gardeners at thepavilion Saturday morningsfrom 7 a.m. until noon topromote the project.

City officials planned toallow only the sale of

home-grown vegetables,fruits, botanicals, herbsand bedding plants to pre-vent people from bringingin older produce grown inother areas.

No date is set for theopening of the market atthis time, Boren said. Ifand when the opening getsrescheduled, city officialswill announce it, he said.

“It will be as soon asthere are crops to offer,”Boren said.

Until recently, the mar-quee in front of City Hallflashed the message of atwo-week delay in theopening of the farmer’s

market. That message isnow gone. The farmer’smarket, had it opened,was scheduled to beclosed over the July 4weekend when city parkwill be occupied by theJuly Fest Celebration.

Gun Barrel City Eco-nomic Development Corp.Director Sean Overeyndersaid if the farmer’s marketnever takes off, his agencywill seek to launch it onceagain. The EDC attemptedto start a farmer’s marketat the site of the old CityHall on Main Street, whichis owned by the agency, butcity council members at the

time shot down the plan.Proponents of the plan to

open the farmers market onMain Street noted that pastattempts to get local grow-ers to sell produce at thecity park pavilion failed be-cause shoppers failed toshow up. They said shop-pers would be more likelyto patronize a farmer’smarket on Main Street,they said.

Overeynder said shop-ping at farmer’s marketsdepends on “impulse buy-ing” because shoppersstop when they happenupon the scene. “It needsto be somewhere people

can see it,” he said.Overeynder said the

EDC will approach thecity council in the fall if thecurrent project fails totake off this summer.

“We will work withthem,” Overeynder said.“Regardless of who takesit over, we want to see itbe a success.”

Overeynder said if theEDC takes it over in thefall that it will beoutsourced to an experi-enced manager. The city-sponsored project nowon hold is under the direc-tion of councilman RonWyrick.


KAUFMAN – TheKaufman County Com-missioners Court rejectedthe adoption of a new pub-lic nuisance abatementmeasure June 22.

The policy presented tothe court by Kaufman As-sistant Fire Chief RandyRichards mirrored a statelaw, but Precinct 1 Com-missioner Jimmy Vrzaliksaid he objected to the lan-guage. Richards said theDistrict Attorney’s officeadvised him the policycould not be written in anyother manner than whatstate law dictates.

“I still have a problemwith it,” Vrzalik said afterlegal counsel confirmedRichards’ statement

Vralik said he consid-

Commissioners reject ruleered the language tovague.

Precinct 4 Commis-sioner Jakie Allen made amotion to adopt the mea-sure, and County JudgeBruce Wood seconded itafter all of the other com-missioners remained silent.The measure failed by a 3to 2 vote with Precinct 2Commissioner SkeetPhillips and Precinct 3Commissioner KennethSchoen voting with Vrzalik.

In May, several resi-dents from unincorporatedareas of the county arguedagainst the adoption of anew public nuisance abate-ment policy because theyfeared environmentalsafety officers would altertheir relaxed way of life.They said they live in thecountry rather than insidecity limits to avoid stricter

standards.Richards told the court

at the time the county offi-cials could not expand en-forcement the way resi-dents feared even if theywanted to due to a lack ofresources.

The court tabled the is-sue in May and scheduleda workshop to discuss it.

County officials said theyproposed the new policy toupdate one in force by thecounty since 2004, whichcontains the same languagethat bothered Vrzalik. Thefocus would be on aban-doned homes, swimmingpools and overgrown areasthat pose public health dan-gers, they said.

Wood said county offi-cials would continue to en-force state laws eventhough the court passed onadopting the measure.

CEDAR CREEKLAKE–Pet ownersaround the lake should usecaution this IndependenceDay weekend when itcome to their pets.

Dogs and cats, andmany farm animals, do notlike loud noises and andexploding lights, and willusually do almost anythingto avoid them.

Follow these tips to helpprotect your pet(s) fromfireworks:

• Many dogs escapefenced-in yards by jump-ing over or digging underthem.

Pets and fireworks don’t mix

Bring all pets inside thehouse or board them in alocal kennel for the week-end. A quiet room like alaundry room or bedroomwill make your pet feelmore comfortable. Makesure to give them their fa-vorite bed, toy and food.

Pull window curtains ordrapes and close doors tothe house.

• bring livestock in fromthe pasture to an enclosedstall or barn area.

Livestock may eat fire-work fallout if it lands in thepasture, causing serious ill-ness or death.

• turn on a television orradio to keep pet calm and

Bring pets inside, make surethey wear ID tags

distracted from outsidenoises.

• be sure your pet hasan ID tag on its collar or amicrochip in the event itescapes the house or yard.

• check with neighbors,and the local animal shel-ter and police departmentin the event your pet goesmissing.

Independence Day isusually celebrated severaldays before and after July4. You’re pets will be hap-pier inside the house withits family than alone outsideunder loud noises andbright lights.

Have a safe and happyholiday.

tions in the country, theDallas County Clerk’s of-fice began issuing the mar-riage licenses immediatelyand marriages began tak-ing place.

One male couple, JackEvans and George Harris,who are partners of 50-plus years immediately gotmarried before the crush oftelevision cameras at thecourthouse.

Bexar, Harris and TravisCounty Clerks also beganissuing marriage licensesimmediately after learningof the Supreme Court’s 5to 4 ruling in favor of same-sex marriages.

Paxton’s office releaseda statement shortly afterthe announcement of theSupreme Court ruling con-demning the 5 to 4 deci-sion as an attack on thereligious freedom ofpeople who define mar-riage as an institution lim-ited to one man and onewoman.

“Far from a victory foranyone, this is instead a di-

lution of marriage as a so-cietal institution,” Paxtonsaid. “What is most dis-turbing is the extent towhich this opinion is yetanother assault on the ac-tual text of the U.S. Con-stitution and the rule of lawitself.”

The Supreme Courtsaid in the ruling thatchurches will not be re-quired to perform same-sex marriages in denyingthat the ruling would affectreligious freedom.

Retired Judge andDemocratic Party activistRon Chapman, who liveson Cedar Creek Lake, saidhe would be willing to per-form same-sex marriages.He criticized Paxton andother Republican officeholders at the state level,including the governor, forinfluencing county clerks todelay issuing same-sexmarriage licenses.

“This is pure Republicanpolitics refusing to obey therule of law,” Chapman said.“A joyous day of celebra-

tion has now been post-poned for those folks andwill be indelibly marked ontheir memories with thestain of Republican malfea-sance.”

President Obamapraised the ruling, and theWhite House lights re-flected rainbow colors onthe front of the building Fri-day night, illustrating thesymbol of Gay Pride.

There are only threeways for a Supreme Courtruling to be reversed. If theruling was based on a lawenacted by U.S. Congress,which this was not, Con-gress could rewrite the law.A Constitutional amend-ment could be approvedby voters, which would beunlikely because pollsshow a majority of Ameri-cans accept same-sexcouples today. Finally, aSupreme Court with newmembers in later yearscould issue a new rulingoverturning the recent oneapproving same-sex mar-riage.

MABANK–Mabankgraduate Stephen Smith’shigh school coaching suc-cess recently landed hima job as an assistant at aDivision I university.

Smith interviewed withThe University of Tennes-see in Knoxville in lateMay and was hired inJune as their new defen-sive back qualifing controlcoach. Smith will be as-sisting the defensive backcoach at the same schoolthat NFL legends PaytonManning and ReggieWhite put on the Orangeand White as Volunteers.

Assisting the defensiveback coach may notsound like a big job, butthe role Smith was hiredto fill was extremely com-petitive. According toSmith, more than 1,000people applied for thejob.

“More than one-thou-

sand people applied forthe job, so getting it isawesome opportunity.This is my chance tobreak into college foot-ball.”

Smith was the co-of-fensive coordinator atCedar Hill High School,where he spent more thansix years helping the 6Atalent-laden juggernaut toback-to-back statechampionships in 2013and 2014. Smith says hehas learned much at Ce-dar Hill under HeadCoach Joey McGuire.

“With the talent level atCedar Hill, you will al-ways have a chance to wina championship,” Smithsaid. The team fielded tenDivision 1football playerslast year. The program isgreat and it will keep go-ing when coaches like my-self leave. CoachMcGuire was awesometo work for and he lets hiscoaches coach anddoesn’t micromanage.”

Smith’s time in DallasCounty taught him thatcoaching football is alsoabout being a good rolemodel.

“Seventy percent of theathletes at Cedar Hillcome from a one-parentfamily,” he said. “CoachMcGuire and the entirestaff had the opportunityto show them how hardreal men work and treattheir family.”

Before moving to Ce-dar Hill, Smith alsolearned from his coachesat Mabank High School,where he graduated in2001.

“The biggest thing Ilearned at Mabank wasthe no-nonsense ap-proach,” Smith said. “Ilearned to be physicallyand mentally tough and towork hard and not messaround in class. If Imessed up, I would hearit from the coaches. At thetime I thought they didn’tlike me, or where out to

get me. Now, after beinga coach I know they ac-tually loved me so muchto correct and critiqueme.”

With that chapter in hislife behind him, Smithmoves to Knoxville to pur-sue his dreams and be apart of the SEC.

AAAAAgggggrrrrrivieivieivieivieiviewwwwwInsects, diseases and turfgrass conference information

By Rick HirschHenderson CountyExtension AgentSpecial to The Monitor

ATHENS–Insects anddiseases can cause prob-lems in peaches, plums,nectarines and pecans.

Homeowners who growthese fruit trees can moreeasily identify the problemsand select the proper con-trol methods if they are fa-miliar with insect pests anddiseases, their life cyclesand the damage theycause.

Plant diseases are mostsevere in periods of fre-quent rain or dew and mildtemperatures (75 to 85degrees F). Early-maturingpeach varieties are morelikely to be affected bybrown rot than the late ma-turing varieties; late variet-ies are often damagedmore by peach scab.

Insect infestations arenot as dependent onweather as are diseases.Most insect pests aremonitored by visually in-specting trees for insects ortheir damage.

Traps baited withpheromones can be usedto monitor activity of thepecan nut casebearer andthe lesser peach tree borer.

Healthy plants can sur-vive some insect and dis-ease damage better thanstressed plants. Treesgrow best if you selectadapted disease-resistantvarieties, plant them in asuitable site, follow a well-balanced fertility program,and irrigate and prune asneeded.

It’s important to cleanup and dispose of plantresidue to reduce the dam-age from peach scab, plumcurculio, hickoryshuckworm and brown rot

of peach. Diseased mate-rial that is properlycomposted can be re-cycled as mulch or organicmaterial.

Homeowners face anumber of problems inbuying chemical productsto control diseases and in-sects. Some products havehad their uses canceled orare not as available tohomeowners as they oncewere, and the most effec-tive ones are not alwayspackaged in small quanti-ties and may only be avail-able in commercial-sizepackages.

If you buy commercial-size packages, the cost ishigh, the unused portionmust be stored for a longtime, and the label lists therates in amounts per acre,which is difficult to convertwhen mixing a few gallonsof spray material.

Another problem is thatmany products have limitson the number of timesthey can be applied perseason. These limitationsmay require that you buymore than one chemical toachieve season-long con-trol of diseases or insects.

In some cases, a com-mercial-size package isyour only option. To get abigger selection, fruit hob-byists with more than a fewtrees should considercommercial-size pack-ages.

We don’t care if you’re more Catholic than the Pope,or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s Baptism. Weextend a special welcome to those who are over 60 butnot grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing uptoo fast.

We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starvingartists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-foodeaters. We welcome those who are in recovery of stilladdicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems oryou’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organizedreligion,”

We’ve been there too. If you blew all your offeringmoney at the boats, you’re welcome here. We offer aspecial welcome to those who think the earth is flat, worktoo hard, don’t work or because grandma is in town andwanted to go to church. We welcome those who areinked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome tothose who could use a prayer right now, had religionshoved down your throat as a kid or got lost in trafficand wound up here by mistake.

We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleedinghearts...and you! Why? Because everyone needs God’slove. Everyone changes when they meet Jesus.

(Thanks to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Commu-nity, Daytona Beach, Florida, for the poem.)

Church services: • Sunday School at 9:30 a.m.• Worship/Holy Communion at 10:45 a.m.On the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost the sermon was

from the Gospel of Mark where the unclean womanpushed through the crowd to get to Jesus so that shecould be healed. This woman had been rejected foryears and she overcame her fear of rejection and fail-ure to get to Jesus. Her courage did not go unnoticed,and she was healed by touching Jesus’ cloak. Her faithhad made her well.

The day willbegin with a cemetery business meeting at 10:30 a.m.followed by a patriotic service at 11 a.m. We will thenserve a meal inside the parish hall or out under the bigoak trees.
