EDC Hears About TDA Programs and Grants
By Jim Butler
Owner/Publisher
In a Delta County Economic
Development Corporation
Board meeting on Tuesday,
September 24, Bill Hoppe
with the Trade and Business
Development Division of
the Texas Department of
Agriculture (TDA) presented
an overview of the programs
and grants available from TDA
to the Delta County Economic
Development Corporation. He
explained that there are 12 Trade
and Business Development
Regions in Texas and the region
which includes Delta County is
made up of 24 counties.
Hoppe told the group the
Office of Rural Affairs is the
clearinghouse of resources
dedicated to improving the
quality of life for rural Texans.
The programs administered
by the Office of Rural Affairs
include: young fanners grants,
economic development, “Go
Texan” business promotion,
jobs for Texas, infrastructure,
disaster relief, hospitals
and physicians,
loan guarantees
rate reduction,
revitalization and

stated that
lot of the funds used to
improve the Sulphur Springs
downtown area came from
TDA revitalization grants and
those same types of grants are
available for Cooper.
Hoppe also made the group
aware of a new job creation
program being implemented
by the TDA called Digital
Works. This program will
create jobs in the internet
and telemarketing fields by
making grants available to
rural Texas communities that
need to improve their internet
infrastructure. Additional
information will be provided
once the Digital Works Program
is put into place.
Hoppe suggested to the
group, “You should join the
Northeast Texas Developers

of representatives of over 60

Lake Creek and
The Midnight Oil
Each September we usually head south for
the Gulf to fish a few days. Tuesday morning,
September 17 we left Charleston at 7:30 with
visions of bull reds jerking on our lines. I was
a little sleepy since I had stayed at the North
Hopkins Opry until about 10:30 the night be-
fore. Then after only a couple hours sleep
Jean woke me whispering that the flower bed
destroying armadillo was at work in our yard.
My twelve gauge soon ended his career and
I headed back to bed. Jean will enjoy her trip
more not having to worry about the armadillo
rooting up her flowers and yard. While at the
singing Monday night one of my top ten co-
incidences occurred. Two days earlier on the
radio I had heard a song that sounded exactly
like Claire Glosup singing. I heard the disc
jockey say it was sung by Barbara Mandrell
but didn’t get the name. Monday night I told
Claire about the song and how it sounded like
her. As I was leaving the singing Monday night
the radio came on as I started the pickup. The
mystery song was playing on our Sirius radio,
Willie Nelson station. On the screen it showed
to be Barbara Mandrell singing The Midnight
Oil. It’s pretty slim odds that I would hear that
song and learn the name just a couple of hours
after I told Claire about it.
There are a zillion ways to get to the Hous-
ton area and this time we took one of the scenic
routes. I have always thought it a little strange
to have creeks with names like Lake Creek and
Lake Fork Creek. Seems like you can’t have a
lake and a creek at the same time. What about
it historians? I had thought maybe there was a
big lake at the headwaters of Lake Creek but
one day Kenneth Gillean at Mt. Joy showed me
a field near his house that sloped to the south-
east and rainwater leaving that field is the start
of Lake Creek. That creates another problem.
We have to sometimes specify if we are talk-
ing about the creek or town when we mention
Lake Creek. I had always thought there prob-
ably wasn’t another Lake Creek in the whole
world except the one between Cooper and Par-
is. Wrong! There south of Cayuga and Tennes-
see Colony we crossed a tiny creek and the sign
declared, “Lake Creek.”
Wednesday at San Luis Pass we drove metal
t-posts in the ground to use for rod holders and
began fishing. While setting up an army cot we
would glance at our rods every few seconds to
see if one was bent down by a fish. Just as we
finished with the cot I looked around and a fish
had broken the duct tape that secured the PVC
pipe to the t-post. The rod was gone. The strong
current was traveling toward two more of our
rods and I hoped the fish would get tangled in
one of them. No such luck. Soon a Hempstead
man twenty yards down the beach had his rod
bend down and he started reeling. Within thirty
seconds I saw him reel in my rod. Was the fish
still on it? I started reeling and felt tugging. Af-
ter an exciting ten minute rasslin match I reeled
in a four foot two inch long bull shark.
A few more fish were caught and Thursday
we were joined by Carol and Junior Larkin. I
volunteered months ago to help A&M Corpus
Christi tag sharks around the Galveston area
and when I caught a foot long black tip I left
it on my hook to swim around in shallow wa-
ter while I did the paper work. When I walked
out to tag the shark it was gone. Apparently it
tired of waiting and simply bit the line in two.
Luckily I caught another the next day and tagged
it. Carol caught several red drum and the big-
gest was forty three inches long. While fishing
from a kayak a half mile from shore she caught
a forty one inch red drum that drug her around
for a while. That’s called a Texas sleigh ride.
Jean also caught several of the red drum with
her largest going forty three. Junior’s son, Mat-
thew, and a few of his friends fished near us and
caught a shark over five feet long. See you in a
few months, San Luis Pass.
For several years a group, to which I belong,
representing the counties of Lamar, Delta, Red
River, and Fannin has endeavored to start a mu-
seum in centrally located Paris. The Valley of
the Caddo Museum Association plans to display
American Indian artifacts and fossils of the area
as well as anything else depicting our local heri-
tage. Maybe you have seen the similar museum
in Idabel on the southeast loop. Recently we ob-
tained a site for the museum on Bonham Street
at the railroad depot. Thursday, September 26
we received nine high quality display cases from
a going out of business antique shop in Plano.
Soon, you should be able to see arrowheads,
spear points, and much more at this museum.
Hopefully before long, schools will be bringing
their classes to the site. Thanks to all who have
attended the gun show in Paris from which we
receive proceeds to finance this undertaking. If
you would like to be a member of our group and
help with the museum you may contact me at
903 439 8110.
Matt Ingram of Charleston killed a small cot-
tonmouth recently and put its picture on Face-
book. Young cottonmouths have a pattern vague-
ly similar to a copperhead and some argued it
was a copperhead. A copperhead is much lighter
in color and has a beautiful, hourglass, smooth
edged pattern.
A young man joined the Army and at 4:30
the first morning was awakened by his scream-
ing sergeant. The sleepy rookie told the sergeant,
“Man, you better go to bed and get some sleep.
We got a big day tomorrow.”
Here is a riddle to stimulate your brain. If a
doctor gave you three pills and told you to take
one every thirty minutes, how long would it take
you to finish them? Many people will say an hour
and half but the answer is one hour. Like if you
take the first at 10:00, the second at 10:30, and
the last at 11:00. That is one hour.
