Fire damage to business
is estimated at $200,000
Cause of fire ruled as arson
A two-alarm blaze early Saturday
morning caused an estimated
$200,000 in damage to Windmill
Trading Post located at 1890 N.
Hwy. 78 in Wylie.
The 9,600 square foot metal
building, which is just south of the
City of Wylie Municipal Complex
was first reported on fire at 12:09
a.m., Saturday and the Wylie Fire
Department arrived at the scene at
12:14 according to police dispatch
reports.
Firefighters battled the blaze for
about an hour and a half before
securing the area.
Late Monday, Chief Shan English
ruled the cause of the fire as arson
and an investigation is under way by
the Wylie Fire Department.
Evidence at the scene has been sent
to an area labratory for testing.
According to English, the rear of
engulfed in flames when fire depart-
ment personnel arrived on the scene.
English added that the fire was con-
tained to the rear of the building.
In addition to Wylie, fire units
from Rowlett, Murphy, Sachse and
Nevada responded to the site.
The owner of the building, Robert
Heath of Parker, opened for business
at the location in May, 1994. Wind-
mill Trading Post’s principal busi-
ness is reselling all types of furniture
and household items to the public.
Heath stated that while the build-
ing and contents were insured, he
was not sure of the exact value of the
property inside building at the time
of the blaze because the inventory is
constantly changing.
The owner did remark that the
department did an excellent job in
responding to the fire and was able
to keep the flames from spreading to
the building was completely an adjacent building.

Beginner claims local
top Power Points spot
“I got in to show my husband
that I could do just as well, if not
better in this contest," said Wanda
Kauffman of Wylie.
The vice-president for a med-
ical administration firm admitted
this was the first time she had
played Power Points, and did it
mainly to beat her husband.
Kauffman earned 115 points
out of a possible 136 to claim the
top spot locally in Week 9 of the
contest.
When asked her secret for her
immediate success, Kauffman
said she just picked what she
thought were the best teams.
One mistake she admitted to
making was going with her emo-
tions and choosing her long-time
favorite team, the Green Bay
Packers, who lost in last week’s
competition.
State-wide, William Dungey, 65,
of Copperas Cove, tallied 125
points to claim the $1,000 weekly
grand prize. Dungey, is a retired
trainer for Popeye’s Fried Chicken.

Poetry Corner
Youth
By O.E. (Mickey) Perkins
How brief the season,
Tho’ the moments long,
Leaves time to reason.
Leaves rhyme to the song.
Be a fairy king,
Or a merry wench,
In a summer’s dream,
On a roadside bench.
Awake to the rain,
And the smell of fall,
Relax to the pain,
Hear the wild goose call.
Pack up your troubles,
Lace tight your old shoes,
Secure your bubble,
You’re livin’ the blues.
How brief the season,
Your travels begun,
For rhyme and for reason,
Leaves autumn in the sun.
A key to good
advertising is
consistency
If not reinforced weekly, awareness
of any advertisement is lost.
Consumers are exposed to hun-
dreds, if not thousands, of advertis-
ing impressions daily. Most are
forgotten within one day...only
five percent can be recalled after a
few weeks. That’s why consistence
is of the greatest importance.

CLOSING THE GAPS
Q. What can be done about gaps
between teeth?
A. Such gaps exist in many peo-
ple. Some points in life-dissatis-
faction with dating opportunities
or a need to look for a new job-
often motivate people to turn to
the dentist for help.
There are several ways to elimi-
nate gaps, depending on the indi-
vidual case. For some, braces
may be in order. Crowns are
another possibility. But less
extensive and less costly methods
can solve the gap problem for
many people. One employs natu-
ral-looking veneers that are
applied to the front surfaces of
teeth. In another technique, a
tooth-colored plastic resin that
bonds to a tooth allows the den-
tist to sculpt new contours for the
tooth without discomfort to the
patient.
If you are bothered by the
appearance of gaps between your
teeth, consult the dentist for eval-
uation and recommendations.
