Life with the paper
By David "Scoop" Johnson
It is Tuesday morning. It was cool and dark when I left home but as I sit
here now I can see that the sky is clear blue and the sun is bright.
These are my kind of days. Cool, but comfortable fall days like this will
no doubt be. The only trouble is I am stuck here in the office. Things are
piling up and I haven't written this article yet.
To clear my head while I decide, I looked through the paper for a
moment and the first thing I discover is that Sam Moore Walton is still the
richest man in America. At the head of the list it is stated simply enough,
"Sam Moore Walton, $6,700 (meaning six billion seven hundred million.
Can that be right?) Bentonville, Arkansas, Wal-Mart Stores, 70. ’
The second richest man in America is John Werner Kluge who is 75 but
has only 3 billion 200 million. I wonder if John Werner feels bad knowing
that Sam Moore has twice as much money as he does.
But then how about Charles de Ganahi Koch, Wichita, Kansas who
inherited "oil services" and is worth only one billion 100 million smackers.
He is way down the list and tied with four other poor souls for 36th place.
Henry Ross Perot is tops in Texas and third in the nation with a paultry
3 billion. Clarence Scharbauer Jr. (note; only one name, no middle name.
The junior helps but how can he expect to be very high on the list with no
middle name?) is 389th in the nation and last in Texas with only 225
million dollars. Actually Clarence is tied with Richard Edward Rainwater,
Fort Worth and Gerald Douglas Hines, Houston, in 389th place.
At about this time my head was beginning to clear but I was beginning
to feel extremely poor when Jeannie asked me what I was doing.
"What are you doing now!" She bellowed.
"I'm reading the list of the wealthiest people in the country!" I bellowed
back.
"Are we on there?" Jeannie asked coyly.
I didn't answer. "Here's an interesting one, Anne Burnett Marion, 360
million, 49 years old, lives in Fort Worth, inheritance oil, 49 years old, it
says here." I was reading out loud.
"Get back to work," Jeannie coddled. Quit dreaming she said.
"Who's dreaming?" I answered as I swung back into action. I could just
picture it "Kenneth David Johnson, $600 (dollars no zeros to be added) no
inheritance, not much of anything else, age unknown, does have middle
name that he uses."
After I pictured it I got right back to work, just as Jeannie had requested.
Sheriff Arrests Local For Possession
Of Controlled Substances
Fannin County Sheriff Talmage
Moore reported the arrest of a 22-
year old Leonard man Monday for
possession of acontrolled substance.
Sheriff Moore stated he was at the
home of Terry Lynn (Turtle) Ivey,
looking for another subject, when he
noticed a small plastic baggy con-
taining a white powder on the floor.
Sheriff Moore questioned Ivey who
told him the substance crank.
Ivey cooperated with the Sheriff
and produced several small baggies
and a container believed to contain
methampetamine powder (also
known as crank). Sheriff Moore
stated that there appeared to be at
least an ounce of the substance.
LYSA Workday
LYSA has scheduled a workday
for Saturday October 15, at the
Kiwanis Park beginning at noon.
Projects to be done include clean up
and winterizing of the concession
stand, tree trimming, and construc-
tion of volleyball court. All help is
welcomed and appreciated.
Chamber
Meeting
Approximately 28 members and
guests of the Leonard Chamber of
Commerce met at the Chambers
monthly luncheon Tuesday at the
Leonard Library.
President Eugene Kegans an-
nounced that the Christmas Parade
had been scheduled for Saturday,
December 17 at 2:00 P.M. Pam Ea-
ton is the parade chairman.
Jim Adams and George Hunting-
ton were appointed to head the Christ-
mas lighting and decorations com-
mittee.
Arvis Buchanan, Billy Grimes
and Dr. Rodney Franklin were ap-
pointed as the nominating commit-
tee to nominate officers and direc-
tors of the Chamber for 1989.
Acting on a motion by Garvis
Buchanan the Chamber voted unani-
mously to give $200.00 to the Le-
onard Relief Fund. President Kegans
had stated that the fund was pres-
ently out of money and would not be
receiving any regular funds prior to
Thanksgiving. The general feeling
was that some money should be
available to help those in need be-
tween now and the Thanksgiving
holidays. Anyone interested in do-
nating to the Leonard Relief fund
may contact Rev. Lois Cooper or
Eugene Kegans.
A program was presented to the
club by Emilie S. Collins an audiolo-
gist from Sherman. The program
concerned hearing and how the ear
works.
Ivey signed a voluntary statement
admitting the substance belonged to
him.
The evidence will be sent to a lab
for analysis.
Ivey was arraigned before Judge
Don Jones on charges of possession
of a controlled substance. Bond was
set at $25,000.
There will be a directors meeting
at6:30 p.m .at the park with a general
meeting starting at 7:15 p.m. at the
middle school cafeteria.
Pedestrian Vehicle Accident - No Hit & Run
After spending a week looking for
a brown car and its suspected hit and
run driver that was allegedly involved
in an auto pedestrian accident at
Fannin and Cedar streets on Septem-
ber 28, it has been determined that
the victim, Irene Rawleigh, was
struck by a white vehicle that was
being driven by one of the original
witnesses.
It has now been determined that
the fifteen year old Rawleigh girl
was probably struck by a vehicle
being driven by Kenny Mark Wilk-
ins. Wilkins, after allegedly striking
Rawleigh, backed up and returned
to the accident site to assist at the
scene. He remained at the site of the
accident until an ambulance arrived
to remove the victim.
According to the police report,
some witnesses originally stated that
Rawleigh had been struck by abrown,
east bound vehicle. They stated that

the accident The report also stated
that the victim indicated from the
beginning that she had been struck
by a white vehicle.
The report also quoted Mr. Wilk-
ins as stating, "that he was driving
east bound at the time (of the acci-
dent) and saw a brown vehicle,
Caprice type, strike the girl who was
in the middle of the street. He also
stated that he thought he saw her go
into the air. He also stated that he saw
her school books fly through the air
and thought that one had hit the (his)
left door window."
In the report Wilkins also stated
"that he stopped, backed up, got out
and went to the victim. He stated that
the sun at that time of the morning
was, 'very blinding and he saw sev-
eral children on the southside of the
street waiting to cross and that he did
not see the victim until the brown car
to quote Wilkins as saying "that he
saw the vehicle stop and a male
person stuck his head out the win-
dow of the vehicle, shake his finger
at the kids and drive off."
Police have now determined that
the victim was probably "brushed"
by the left side of the vehicle driven
by Wilkins. The "brushing" caused
the victim to be spun around and the
left rear tire of the vehicle clipped
her right heel, causing a break in the
lower right leg.
Police Chief Bill Yoss states that
after consulting with the district at-
torney no criminal charges are being
filed. "It is a civil case to be brought
by the insurance companies," Yoss
said.
The victim, fifteen year old Irene
Rawleigh, was treated for a fractured

carries for one touchdown and Jason
Warren had one touchdown.
For the Eagles Vincent Bozeman
rushed for 72 yards on 17 carries. He
had one 81 yard pass reception fora

Defensively Aaron Skiles led the
Tigers in tackles with 13. Spencer
Faulkner, Bax Kegans and Wilker-
son all had 11 tackles. Eddie Fraser
and Joe Ellenburg had 9 each and
Tommy Gray had 8.
Coach Marshall stated that he was
real pleased with the offense. "We
executed well. We maintained con-
trol offensively, blocked well and
were never forced to punt I was just
very pleased with that," he said.
"Defensively, in the first half, I
was disappointed. We didn't con-
centrate and maintain our intensity
in the first half. In the second half we
got that straightened out and we
played defense like we are capable
of."

junior defensive end, was graded very
high for his defensive performance.
