County rejects CERTZ program
By Cindy Roller
Editor
In a special called meeting
on Thursday, Jan. 16 the
Delta County Commissioners
unanimously rejected the
County Energy Reinvestment
Transportation Zone program
stating it was not worth the
endeavor for the amount of
money.
In a meeting with
deliberations that lasted
just over 45 minutes, the
Commissioners came to
realize this program required
considerable paper work for
just at $120,000. The County
would also be responsible for
10 percent matching funds as
well as the need for a law firm
in the writing of grant terms.
However the program would
also require special zones
designated for projects which
had to be completed in strict
deadlines.
The program was originally
established to reimburse
Counties for wear to roads
due to oil transportation.
The Commissioners agreed
that any one road project
would quickly evaporate the
grant funds. Action to reject
was given in a 5-0 vote.

Track meets
Been pretty cold lately and not much happen-
ing so let’s go back to 1986 and see what’s go-
ing on. In last week’s article I listed the seventh
grade boys and their events in a track meet at
Community. Now here are the eighth graders.
See if you know any of these young fellers. Sat-
urday, March 15, junior high track meet at Com-
munity. Shot put—Byron Bonds, Bam Morris,
and Brian St. Clair. Bam won with 44-9. Dis-
cus—Bonds, St. Clair, and Wes Haddock. Bonds
won with 120 feet. High jump—Ronnie Green,
Stacy Miller, and Bret Williams. Bret got third
with 5-2. Long jump—Miller, Morris, and Wil-
liams. Pole vault—Clinton Beckham and Duane
Thompson. Duane got second with 8-0.
In the running events our 400 meter relay team
was Ronnie Green, Stacy Miller, Bret Williams,
and Bam Morris. We got sixth out of sixteen
teams with 53.64. Princeton won the event with
50.36. 110 hurdles—Beckham, Shawn Silman,
Thompson. 800 meter run—Johnny Land and
John Maddox. 100 dash—St. Clair with 3.77.
Royse City has a really great athlete everyone
calls Stick and he gave us fits in other sports too.
He won the 100 with 11.92.
400 dash—Byron Bonds was entered in it but
was finishing discus and they wouldn’t wait.
300 hurdles—Beckham, Silman, Thompson.
200—St. Clair and Williams. “Stick” won it
with 25.19. 1600 relay—Beckham, Miller, Wil-
liams, and Kevin Swaim.
At the meet I saw a guy with last name Fletch-
er from Farmersville. Four years ago he was
number 30 in junior high football and nearly
killed our quarterback DohrmanWintermute
with several sacks. I talked to a Rivercrest coach
and asked about an elderly man that Coach Sil-
man and I saw at all Rivercrestfootball games. A
chain smoker, lighting one cigarette off the butt
of another. He is still alive and kicking. (The
man’s name was Leonard Bond and back then it
was legal to smoke at football games.)
Monday, March 17, 1986. Spring break. Bought
some pork and beans at the Charleston store and
went to the hill south of Charleston to eat and
write in ledger. (On what is now County Road
1170 about three quarter mile south of the store
is a wide place in the road where many of us
would sometimes gather to make a stew or grill
pork chops and such. Just a hang out type place
for when we wanted to get a little further out of
town.) May apples are about a foot tall beside
the road.
March 27,1986. Someone put up a big sign at
school announcing my fortieth birthday. Chips
and dips in the teacher work room. Our boys and
girls are in a track meet at Edgewood and we left
school at 1:30. You never know how long a track
meet will last so it is impossible to tell parents
what time to pick up the students. We always
send a letter home at the first of track season
explaining how it much more unpredictable than
basketball or football since you never know how
many schools will compete. You don’t know if
the ones in charge wifi run the meet fast or slow.
Another teacher told a mama we would be home
about 8:30. When the bus got back to school at
almost midnight, Mrs. T_gave me a good
chewing. Happy birthday I guess. I sent another
copy of the letter home to her the next day. Bret
got first in high jump with 5-4, Duane Thomp-
son first in pole vault with 8 feet, Kevin Swaim
got first in 300 hurdles, and Cade Alley first in
110 hurdles.
Friday, March 28, 1986. To Charleston after
school and played dominoes with Tony Toon,
Steve Ingram, Tommy Ingram, Dean Houchins,
and Huck Elmore. I have an old trumpet type
horn like the ones that came on cars years ago.
Keep it on the dash of my pickup to call my hog
dogs. Wesley Houchins got it and brought it in
the store. It is loud. Wesley kept blowing it until
Joe Rakes nearly had a spasm and took it away
from him. I came home and rode two race horse
colts for Scotty Calvin. Two days ago was the
first riding and today the second. Three rounds
on Scotty’s track for Come On Home and six
rounds for Two Socks Candy. Dean invited Jean
and me to spend the night by the river at Lon-
gridge. We parked at the southeast comer of the
Lester Worden place and set up our tent. Dean,
Donna, Wesley, Jean, and I grilled steaks, ribs,
pork chops and then fried potatoes. Fished af-
ter supper and Jean caught a gar. Wesley caught
a drum. Donna hung a seven pound catfish but
it got off the hook right at the bank. To bed at
eleven.To be continued.
Now up to the present in 2014. Son in law Ja-
son Barnett and Sheila live southeast of Mt. Ver-
non and sometimes hogs root in their pasture.
As Jason drove home one night last week he
saw one of his black calves outside the pasture
and not far from the highway. He pulled over to
try to run it through the fence. The calf grunted
at him. It wasn’t a calf. It was a huge hog that
quickly ran away. Next afternoon late Jason was
back with his binoculars and .270. Just before
dark he saw the hog and downed him. Next day
the hog was weighed on certified scales at 384
pounds. Closer examination showed it to have
been neutered and released at some time in the
past. There are people in just about every com-
munity that do that so they can kill it later and
the meat is better to eat than on a boar. Since
neutered hogs (barrows, or “bars”) aren’t inter-
ested in sows or fighting with boars, they are fat-
ter, the meat isn’t as “musky” and usually they
have perfect teeth. Boars frequently break theirs
while fighting.
A man was stumbling across the desert about to
die of thirst. He came upon another man riding a
camel and begged for water. The man would not
give him any water, saying he only had enough
for his own use but asked the thirsty man if he
would like to buy a necktie. The thirsty man said,
“What? Are you crazy. I don’t need a tie, I need
some water.” He crawled on and an hour later
came to a big restaurant. At the door he begged
for some water but the host said, “I’m sorry. We
don’t serve anyone without a tie.”
