Court raises part-time pay
By Tracy R. Mesler
MONTAGUE - The
Montague County
Commissioner's Court voted
Thursday to increase the
hourly rate the county pays.
"We're having a hard
time to find qualified people
at the rates we are paying,"
explained County Auditor
Jennifer Essary.
Pet. 4 Comm. Bob
Langford volunteered that if
he did not have a retiree will-
ing to work at the county's
current $10 per hour rate he
would not have any available
part-time employees.
"For a CDL (commercial
driver's license) for $10 an
hour you can't hardly find
anybody," Langford
observed.
Langford proposed the
county raise its part-time
rates to $15 per hour for any-
one working in a position
requiring either a commer-
cial driver's license or a
peace officer's or jailer's
certification, and $12 an
hour for all other positions.
The motion was approved
unanimously.
Sheriff Paul Cunningham
was quick to thank the court
for the increase, conceding
he understood that he, and
the other department heads,
would have to find the
money within the current
year's budget to pay the
higher wages.
"You can adjust that
(part-time salary allotment)
in next year's budget,"
County Judge Tommie
Sappington informed the
department heads.
At Judge Sappington's
request, the court relieved
him of one of his "other"
jobs that of serving on the
Texoma Area Paratransit
System's Board of Directors.
The j udge recommended the
court appoint Mrs. Wanda
Wood of Nocona to
Montague County's seat on
the board. It also passed
unanimously.
The court adopted the
county holiday scheduled for
2013. Judge Sappington's
administrative assistant
Valorie Stout pointed out
that several of the county's
regularly scheduled second
and fourth Monday meetings
fell on holidays. "Those
aren't holidays you can
(readily) move," she
advised.
Langford suggested the
court address rescheduling
those meetings as the dates
draw near.
The court accepted six
difference offers for lots in
Oak Shores and Nocona
Hills. The lots had been
seized for back taxes and had
failed to sell at auction on
the courthouse steps. JRY
Enterprises purchased a total
of 10 lots in Nocona Hills
while E.D. Clark purchased
six lots in Oak Shores for
varying amounts.
Sheriff Cunningham was
given permission to trade
and/or sell seized weapons to
GT Distributors. He told the
court that the department
would get store credit for the
weapons which it would use
for items the department can
use. He said one of the rea-
sons he liked dealing with
the firm is "these guns do not
got back into the general
public. They are torn down
and sold for parts, if they are
not usable by law enforce-
ment."
The sheriff and auditor
also presented a request to
create new revenue and
Pet o the Week
expenditure line items in the
budget. Previously the firm
that handles the county's
inmate phone system paid a
portion of the proceeds
towards the cost of the soft-
ware licenses for the sher-
iffs department. The sheriff
said the new firm was
unwilling to do that, prefer-
ring to pay the county and let
the county pay for the soft-
ware. The new line items
will allow that to happen.
Commissioner Langford
presented a request to the
court to allow a property
owner to follow the Texas
Transportation Code in
regards to a request to close
all of Ramsey Road off of
SH 175 south of the city of
Nocona's South Waste
Water Treatment Plant.
The commissioner
explained that the same indi-
vidual owns all of the land
on either side of the road and
wishes to close it. Judge
Sappington asked that
notices be run in the newspa-
per for 20 days prior to a
public hearing on the pro-
posed closure.
You have seen those neat
baskets all over the place and
wondered, "How'd they do
that?"
Or how about knitting,
would you like to learn how
to knit?
You can take part in one
of three different basket
classes this weekend at the
Tales 'N' Trails Museum,
learn a new skill and make
some wonderful Christmas
presents - for yourself or for
someone special.
There will be two classes
for beginners taught on
Friday by accomplished bas-
ket maker and instructor Jan
Schmidt and a third class on
Saturday for intermediate
skilled basket makers.
Mrs. Schmidt learned her
craft from her mother and
has been perfecting it, and
her teaching techniques for a
number of years.
Participants will make
their basket during the class-
es. From 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Friday participants will
make "Color Me Happy" a
colorful 7x11x11" basket
complete with swing D-han-
dle. "I developed this pattern
when I ended up with a lot of
scrap color left from other
baskets I wove," Mrs.
Schmidt said. "This has
always been a beginner's
favorite."
From 4 to 7 p.m. students
will make a Holiday Mail
Basket.
Then on Saturday stu-
dents will work on a double
wall Trees-Go-Round, a
7x3" basket where you
weave the inside first and do
the outside. Students will
learn a wave weave while
adding beads at the same
time. The evergreen trees are
added after you weave up
this basket. It would make a
great candy bowl for all of
those holiday treats.
The cost is $45 for either
Color Me Happy or Trees-
Go-Round and $40 for the
Holiday Mail Basket. Fees
include materials and
instruction and tools are pro-
vided.
The museum will host
Beginning Knitting on
Saturday, Dec. 1 from 1 to 5
p.m. The cost is $35 with
everything furnished, or $30
if you furnish your own
materials.

tact@talesntrails.org, or by
