In memory of
John W. Cardwell
5/9/16 to 4/13/89
Some people come into our
lives and quietly go. Olliers stay a
while and leave footprints in our
hearts and we are never the same.
Eight years have passed and we
still feel your presence. Your
memory is a treasure dial we will
always cherish. 'Die 42 years we
shared together live forever in my
heart.
Love, miss you still,

Traffic accident sends
three to hospital
Ihere were at least three small
telephone exchanges in
; JL. Wylie during the early 1900s.
By John M. Motter
A two-vehicle accident on South
Hwy. 78 resulted in three people
being hospitalized.
Transported to Baylor Hospital in
Garland by Central Ambulance were
Laura K. Weaks, 26, Wylie, a 10-
month-old passenger in the Weaks
vehicle; and Vera Michelle Rusk, 33,
Wylie.
All injuries were listed as non-
incapacitating on the police report.
The accident occurred at 6:36
IT'S OFFICIAL.
972 AREA CODE REQUIRED APRIL 18.
Beginning Friday. April 18. the 972 area code must be dialed when you
call from locations in other area codes. Calls made using the fsrmer 214 area
code may reach a recording saying the area code has changed. Or the calls
may reach someone who has been assigned the same seven-digit phone
number within the 214 area code.
Calls between area codes that were local before will continue to be local,
but will require both the area code and the seven-digit number. When you call
a local number within your own area code, just dial the seven-digit number.
Long distance calls within your own area code will still require dialing the long
distance access code plus the area code and the seven-digit number.

Its Amazing What
We Can Do Together

$747,217, including signage at the
Cottonbelt Railroad crossing. The
actual cost is closer to $651,575.
Traffic controls at the crossing
temporarily consist of stop signs
installed by the city. Cross arms
will ultimately be installed by rail-
road work crews when they find
the time.
“Only the railroad can install the
cross aims and they work on their
own timetable,” said Mike Collins,
the city manager. “We thought it
better to open with the stop signs,
rather than wait any longer for
them to install the cross arms.”
Additional police patrols will be
assigned to the thoroughfare until
users get accustomed to the new
traffic patterns.
The Texas Department of Trans-
portation has authorized funding of
improvements to the Ballard Street
railroad crossing, according to
Mindy Manson, assistant to the
city superintendent.
Although a specific date for the
work has not been established,
internal KCS procedures leading
up to the project are under way^
Manson said. *
Meanwhile, rains are affecting
the other outside city projects.
XIT Paving could get underway
with the McCreary Road project at
any lime. That project calls for
paving one-half the road from FM
544 to the South Fork Park south-
ern boundary. That portion of the
road will be closed during much of
the project.
p.m. last Wednesday.
Weaks was driving south in the
300 block of Hwy. 78 in a 1991
Ford. Rusk was driving north in a
1986 Chevrolet pickup. Weaks’
vehicle crossed the center lane,
striking Rusk’s vehicle in the left
front quarter panel, according to the
police report.
No citations were issued. Weaks
was wearing a seatbelt and shoulder
strap, her passenger was in a child
restraint, and Rusk was not wearing
a seatbelt..
Animal
From Page 1A
think it means no one can keep
wild or vicious animals in the
city,” Phillips said. “There is no
change on that between the old and
the new ordinance.”
“I think we need to take this to
the city attorney,” said Mike
Collins, the city administrator.
“We’ll do thaL and staff will come
back to the council with a full
report.”
New definitions in the proposed
ordinance change read;
■ At Large—not under the con-
trol of the owner or another person
authorized by the owner to care for
the animal by leash, cord, chain,
rope, or secure fence.
■ Livestock-—all domesticated
animals including, but not limited
to, cattle, equine, fowl, goats,
sheep, and swine.
■ Owner—any person, partner-
ship, corporation, or business enti-
ty owning, keeping, or harboring
one or more animals. An animal
shall be deemed to be harbored if it
is fed or sheltered for three consec-
utive days or more.
■ Public Nuisance—any animal
which annoys or disturbs passersby
or passing vehicles, attacks other
animals, trespasses on school
grounds, defecates/urinates on pub-
lic or private property, barks,
whines, meows, or howls in exces-
sive, continuous, or untimely fash-
ion.
