Parker, Wall and the rest of the 8
commissioners noted they would
begin road repairs on a priority (
basis once they have re-established
“dry water" and emergency access
routes for all of their residents.
They will attack those washouts
which are creating the largest
hazard and/or inconvienience for
the most people while asking
residents to understand it “will
take years to repair everything.”
“We're not whipped,” Parker
said, adding he was still traveling
roads trying to assess the damages
in his precinct, “We’re pretty bad-
ly beat down, but we’re not whip-
ped.”
“These people that are wanting
you to get their cow roads fixed
are going to have to be considerate
for these people that need to get
out to get groceries,” Parker warn-
ed.
The commissioners agreed that
because of the terrain and the
heavier rainfall, Parker probably
had the most damage of the four
precincts, though all have tin
horns totally washed out, roads
eroded and bridge approaches
damaged — and that is still with a
considerable amount of roadway
underwater or unaccessible
because of washed out bridges.
Fights over the weekend in
Nocona resulted in a half dozen
adults and five juveniles being ar-
rested on a variety of charges.
Saturday night and Sunday
morning five adults and five
juveniles were arrested by Nocona
Sgt. Clyde James and Patrolman
Ray Clevenger for disorderly con-
duct.
Charged before Justice of the
Peace Robert Fenolgio were Jim-
my Edwards, Dennis Perry, Billy
Joe Bowles, James Black and Jim-
my Bowles. All pled guilty and
paid fines of $58.50. The distur-
bance began at the medical clinic
and concluded at the City Park,
Fenoglio noted.
Additionally, the five juveniles
were remanded to the 97 th
District Court juvenile authorities
for processing.
Sunday night two men were
charged with disorderly conduct
and a third was charged with car-
rying a prohibitve weapon.
Charged with disorderly con-
duct were Allen Gann and Hardy
Capps while Richard Page Per-
ryman was charged with the Class
B misdemeanor for possessing a
handgun.
During the week officers filed a
disorderly conduct charge on
Karen Stephenson, according to
police records, as well as making
dirt, possibly 10,000. At 5 cubic £
yards per dump truck that is 1,500 8
loads of dirt, and that is before the 5
base work is done or the surface 8
relayed.
Both state and county officials 8

Precinct 4, and scores of other
county bridges suffered the same
fate as those in Wall’s Precinct 3
— the approaches were either
totally washed away or they were
severally eroded by the swiftly
moving water.
For the state, the worst damage
occured on FM 677 with other,
equally serious but less spectacular
damage throughout northern
Montague County.
The loss of the FM 677 bridge
just south of Capps Comer, alone,
will cost in excess of $200,000 to
be replaced by the state, Collier
“guestimated."
Further to the north, where FM
677 ends in Illinois Bend, Comm.
Parker has a delimma of — where
do you start.
There are four county
bridgesleading out of Illinois
Bend, two wodden, two metal,
within a quarter mile of the end of
FM 677. The two metal bridges
weree washed 200 to 300 yards
down stream and destroyed. One
wooden bridge has both ap-
proaches totally washed out; and
the fourth, heading east into
Cooke County, has one approach
half way missing.
The precincts suffered addi-
tional damage during Thursday
and Friday’s rains.
“I fixed two bridges Thursday,”
Wall related Monday prior to
commissioner’s court, “and then
the rain Thursday night washed
them out again."
“I’ve got one road out past
Stoneburg where the water ran
down the side of the road and ate
out a canyon. The road is now
three or four feet wide and the ca-
nyon is deeped than my pickup,”
the commissioner said, not hazar-
ding to guess how much dirt it will
take to fill the gulley the water left

On Tuesday an accident oc-
cured at the intersection of Cooke
and Walnut Streets when a 1976
Datsun 210 driven by Mrs. Christi
Rosignol of Nocona was struck by
a 1976 For pickup driven by
Ruben Henderson.
Henderson was cited for failure
to yield right of way to Mrs.
Rosignol who was travleing on

the board had already be tabbed
at Saint Jo’s nominee, but that
nomination was withdrawn,
reportedly at Freeman’s request.
From the Bowie School Board
are Ted L. Price and Kenneth W.
Boothe.
There are a total of 5,000 votes
divided amongst the tax entities
based on their 1980 tax levy. Un-
projected estimates are that it will
take approximately 800 votes to
"insure” that a candidate is
elected to the Appraisal District
Board.
The 5,000 votes are apportion-
ed this way: Bowie I.S.D. 1,607

in the field and in the area and all
of the applications can be grouped
together.
He did add that while not “nor-
mal protocal,” there was nothing
to prevent an individual county
commissioner from assessing the
damage in his precinct and mak-
ing application for a disaster
declaration for his precinct alone,
bypassing the rest of the commis-
sioners court and the county
judge.
If a disaster declaration is hand-
ed down from the national level, a
central clearinghouse for relief
programs will be opened, Cong.
Stenholm’s aide explained, usually
in the countyseat.
At that point representatives of
all of the federal, state and private
agencies which might provide
some form or other of disaster
relief will be on hand to help
answer questions, fill out applica-
tions, conduct field inspections
and, hopefully, award grants and
low interest loans.
But first comes a request for a
disaster declaration from the local
level, the aide stressed.
Continued from Page 1
disaster of such magnitude that
the local and state entities cannot
handle it, he forwards a similar
disaster declaration request to
President Ronald Reagan who in
turns hands it over to FEMA to in-
vestigate and evaluate.
“At this point,” the con-
gressman's spokesperson noted,
“the ball is in Gov. Clement’s
court and the local entities. Once
(Clements) gets (the application)
up here, we can kind of prod it
along.”
While Montague County waits
and gathered damage estimates,
field teams from the Dept, of
Emergency Services are already in
the area making on-site inspec-
tions of the damages. Monday
teams were in Taylor, Cooke and
Stephens Counties. Tuesday they
were to be in Parker and possibly
Wise County, “if they make ap-
plication.”
