A Lake Dallas resident was killed Monday night on
Interstate 35 just south of Sanger on the Clear Creek
bridge.
Anthony Laine Overcast, 40, was riding a motorcycle on
1-35 northbound when he apparently tried to pass an 18-
wheeler on the left and he entered a barricaded
construction area. Overcast then steered right onto the
shoulder and attempted to pass the truck. He hit the end
of the bridge and was thrown from the motorcycle. He was
declared dead on the scene at 10:11 p.m. by J. P. James
Erwin.

The Sanger I.S.D. board had to accept several bids that
were in pools of only one or two at Tuesday night’s regular
session.
The dairy products bid went to Vanderhorn Dairy,
which outbid the only other bidder, Borden. Last year’s
supplier, Shepp’s Dairy, did not bid.
Mrs. Bairds Bakery (last year’s supplier) won the bakery
products bid. The school district solicited bids from
Wonder Bread, which didn’t reply, and Rainbo Bread,
which was unable to bid.
The school depository for 1987-89 was selected as First
National Bank in Sanger. The district solicited bids from F
& M State Bank in Krum, which was unable to bid; a
Denton bank, which did not reply; and the new Sanger
bank, which could not become bonded in time to meet the
deadline.
Finally, the board awarded the student insurance bid to
Hollis Manning Insurance in Irving. Its bid was 88,555.
The only other bidder was Keystone Insurance, which
filed Chapter 11 and was reorganized as Southwestern
State Insurance Company. Its bid was 810,500. Business
Manager Mike Rosenberg told the board that there were
only these two reasonable-priced insurance companies in
Texas carrying this kind of insurance.
In other matters, the board approved the lease-purchase
of the superintendent’s car. Superintendent Jim Coulston
said that there was no reason that the car could not last
another two to three years.
Then the board passed a resolution on Coulston's
recommendation that the board recommend Bobbye
Robison as a zoning board member. Voters will decide in
Novemeber if they want a zoning board to zone
unincorporated areas around Lake Ray Roberts.
Bill Mustin, high school principal, presented the
changes in the student and teacher handbooks and
disciplinary management procedures. Next, Jack
Biggerstaff, middle school principal, presented his
school’s student handbook changes. Most of the changes
were minor and were a result of new state and federal
laws. One interesting change was a Saturday school, from
8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for students with a tardiness problem.
The board passed these recommendations.
Superintendent Coulston recommended that Business
Manager Mike Rosenberg as this year’s offirlsl hearing
officer. The board approved the recommendation.
The board then accepted four resignations: Deanna
Shadid, Jack Armstrong, Carrie Spruiell, and Larry
Spruiell. The board then approved of bonuses for the
following personnel: Gary Gale, 85000; Sonny Cruse,
83,500; and Carla Vickers, 82,900; all are subject to
assignment.
After some discussion, the board unanimously agreed
to hire John Burkhart as head coach with a 84,800 bonus.
He was released from his previous contract at a school in
Howe because of a confrontation with a Howe school
board member’s child. The year before last, he took his
team to the finals. Last year he had a half and half record,
reportedly because his team lacked the talent. Bill Mustin
said that he came with high recommendations. He had
checked two references and Coulston had checked one.
Mustin said that Sanger's assistant coaches were
considered for the position.
Carla Vickers was hired as middle school P.E. teacher
and girl’s volleyball coach. Vickers started Monday as the
volleybailers started their fall practice.
Vickers is a graduate of North East Louisana College
and was a two year starter in basketball for the girl's
basketball team. She was All State 2 years in basketball
and 1 year in volleyball at West Monroe High School.
Board members then discussed Bill Mustin's
recommendation that Rhonda Holly, operator of the
Studio of the Performing Arts in Sanger, lead the
Cherokee Charmers drill team. The district would save
814,000 a year because she would be paid as a part-time
aide. She would replace Carrie Spruiell. Mustin said that
he’d interviewed several applicants and that only one was
qualified. The board then went into Executive (closed)
session to discuss the matter.
Earlier in the session, several members of the audience
voiced some of their opinions.
Woodrow Barton, a newcomer to Sanger, gave his
opinion on Supt. Coulston. He felt that Coulston was not
as visionary as Dr. Bud Joyner, president of Cooke
County College, had said he was at last month’s school
board session. Barton pointed out that Coulston had
had to ask more than one person to accept the position of
head football coach. Two candidates refused the job after
Coulston had asked the board’s permission to hire them.
He also charged that too little time was spent checking
references and reviewing background information before
recommending that the district hire personnel. Rick
Powell, board vice-president thanked him for speaking
and said that Dr. Joyner had a right to his opinions, too.
Next, Chris Harper, captain of the Cherokee Charmers
drill team, read a letter by drill team members to the
board requesting that they not put the drill team in the
background. She said that they needed direction,
discipline, and positive leadership.
Science teacher, Mike Danner, asked board members to
not cut local Increases in teacher pay. “Consider your
obligation,” he said. “We have to take larger classes due
to loss of teachers . . . it’s hard to ask people to do extra
things without paying for it,” he said. Texas gives
teachers annual raises, about 6 to 7 percent Danner said,
for the first ten years but none after that. Whatever raises
they got come from the school district. He also suggested
a faculty advisory board composed of two elected teachers
from each school, to meet with the school board every 90
days, formally or informally, to keep each other informed.
Finally, Melinda Kirkland complained that her second-
grader was held back in the second grade without getting
the chance to get caught up during the school year.
Coulston thanked her for bringing this to their attention.

I have only known Steve
Hollingsworth for seven or
eight years. Up until
recently, I could say I knew
his parents better than I
knew him. I think it is
interesting that he was
born in Fort Worth and I
know he has good
judgement because he
married well! He and the
former Nancy Wallace of
Justin are proud parents of
Amanda, 16 months old.
Steve’s mom tells me he
runs their truck shop and
does some dispatching.
When I go to Chamber of
Commerce board meetings,
I usually meet him as he
walks up the street to the
office and he beams the
famous Sanger Smile and in
the door we go. Well, it isn’t
long before the discussion
gets to what are we going to
do about this or that
problem. By and by, Steve
(who has been carefully
listening to all sides) comes

A dream of a new bank in Sanger finally became a
reality Monday as 40 stockholders of the new SANGER
BANK met in Sanger for their first stockholders meeting.
The bank has 74 stockholders who purchased 82
million in bank stock. “We’re going to do something that
most banks can’t do, we’re going to open up debt free,”
according to Charles Fenoglio, president of the SANGER
BANK.
Fenoglio was elected Chairman of the Board and
President at the Monday meeting and Margaret Long was
elected VP/Cashier. Harold Easley was named Vjce
Chairman.
The bank has set an opening date of September 8 and is
expected to have seven full time and 4 part time
employees. The bank will open its lobby from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 7 p.m. on
Friday. The motor bank, which will have two tellers, will
be open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 1
p.m. on Saturday.
Construction is expected to start in September on the
permanent bank building which will have 5,500 square

just south of the Burrus Supermarket. The permanent
structure is scheduled to be finished in early 1988.
Nine persons will serve on the Board of Directors, in
addition to Charles Fenoglio, the board consists of—
♦C. H. Easley - former owner and president of the First

•W. E. Hilz - partner in Hilz-Snider Chevrolet and

dealership in Dallas and sister of Harold Easley.
•Jim Kirkpatrick - partner in Kirkpatrick & Nelson,

The decision by local individuals to invest 82 million in
cash to start the bank shows that even in today’s troubled
economy, a lot of persons have faith in the Sanger area.
