By the time firefightersarrived, more than half the home was inflames and other nearby structures were threatened.The volunteers contained the fire to thehome, but it was a total loss.Within an hour nothing was left but orange,smoldering remains. Firefighters trudgedthrough ashes as thick clouds of smoke billowedinto the cold, night sky, under a low-hanging,pale moon. White, red and blue lights of the firetrucks illuminated the smoke, which was visiblefor miles.Tommy Alley, 46, lived at the home with histwo dogs, Cooee and Sheba. Alley was not homewhen the fire started. He thinks a candle he leftburning might have touched it off, but the exactcause is unknown at this time.“Those dogs were like his family,” said MartiWise, who lives in a nearby home on the property.“My stomach is still churning thinking aboutthose dogs being in there.”Alley lost almost everything he owned, alongwith a lot of family memorabilia. He’d livedthere for 12 years.See Blaze on page 11ADECATURSwapping StoriesWealth ofhistoryfound atSwap MeetBY BRANDON EVANSbevans@wcmessenger.comA man on a small tractormanages a tight squeezethrough a pair of portapottiespositioned near thecenter of the Wise CountySheriff’s Posse Grounds.Old steering wheels dangleon wires like an odd form ofmodern art, and piles of polishedmetal hubcaps reflectlike silver pools in the sunlight.It’s another year at theWise County Swap Meet.Among the odd charactersand even odder items is a richtale of America’s automotivehistory.

6A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, February 23, 2013BY BRANDON EVANSbevans@wcmessenger.comLess than a year after thecity of Newark resurfacedseveral roads throughouttown, signs of ruin are alreadystarting to pop upthrough the cracks.The city recently resurfacedPark, Brown andChambers streets. But thoseroads are already pockedwith potholes and grassand weeds are poking upthrough the surface.“On Park and Brownstreets there is actuallygrass coming up throughthe blacktop,” said councilmember Bob Wells. “We justresurfaced these roads sixmonths ago. This is happeningon roads all over the city.“We’ve got to approve thisand get it done so we can getmore life than two years outof these new roads.”At a meeting Thursdaynight, the rest of the councilagreed. They unanimouslyapproved tweaking the budgetso they could get a totalof $35,000 into the streetrepair account. That’s theprojected budget total toresurface Sandy Bass Laneand fix the pothole problempopping up on roads all overtown.Wells said there are moreroads slated to be resurfaced,including Pettit andBurke streets, but that willcost another $34,400, which“is not feasible this year.”New officer tocutd own on weedsThe council also unanimouslyapproved hiring a“code service official” on aNEWARKCity wages waron street grasspart-time basis to help thecity enforce ordinances.“We need them to identifyowners of property or renters,send out certified lettersand produce spreadsheets,”said city secretary DianeRasor.She said it’s important forwhoever they hire to stayon top of the enforcementprocess because it involvesseveral steps. Rasor is alsoa certified code enforcementofficer and could help. Theyalready have an individualin mind who moonlights asa martial arts instructor.The council approved themayor to hire the officer forfive to 10 hours per weekat a wage not to exceed $20per hour.

Contracts can be made orally” (Wikipedia). This is the contractGod made to Abram: “…Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou artnorthward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thouseest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever (Gen 13:14,15).” So how do we get tobe part of this great promise or contract? “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’sseed, and heirs according to the promise (Gal 3:29).” To become a part of Jesus’ flock, wemust heed what he says. “…but these things I say, that ye might be saved (John 5:34).”What did he say? “But now ye seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth… (John8:40).” He called himself a man or human being. He says: “Beware of false prophets…(Matt 7:15).” “And this is the will of him (God) that sent me, that every one that seeththe Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up atthe last day (John 6:40).” I have heard quite often: “Just accept Jesus in your heart andye shall be saved.” First, we must ask ourselves how important is it to know who Jesusis? “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and JesusChrist, whom thou hast sent (John 17:3).” Know the nature of God and Jesus. God is theCreator of man and is above man. Jesus is a man or human being (I Tim 2:5). Who diedon that cross? Was it God or his Son, the man, Jesus Christ? His sheep know who he isand follow him (John 10:17). To have an ever-binding contract with God, we must heedthe word and follow it-not what some man has come up with. Help get the word outand stay off the broad way. “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and goingabout to establish their own righteousness… (Rom 10:3).” Remember, Jesus warnedto beware. Why? Do you think Abraham heeded God or manmade religion? God hasnot fulfilled his contract with Abraham yet (Heb 11:13), but it will be done (Matt 6:10)when Jesus returns. Are you part of Abraham’s seed and do you have that ever-bindingcontract with God? Know and follow the real Jesus.Second Advent Christian Church615 S.

8A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, February 23, 2013RUNAWAY BAYPolice chief position open, code officer createdY ERIKA PEDROZAepedroza@wcmessenger.comThe City of Runaway Baywill add two staff positionsto the payroll following thecouncil’s meeting Tuesdaynight.After approving amendmentsthat made a city ordinanceon the police chief positionuniform with a morerecent personnel policy (adoptedin 2010), the councilapproved posting the jobopening.The ordinance originallyrequired the police chief toreport to the mayor daily.Although the position is tobe appointed by the council,the chief is to daily report tothe city administrator (filledin the interim by OnetaBerghoefer) and to the councilat its monthly meetings,as outlined in personnelpolicy.The new job descriptionalso excludes the duty ofserving as public safety directorand eliminates requiredpatrol hours.The changes were discussedat a work sessionFeb. 13.“It makes the two thesame,” Mayor Robert Ryansaid.The position will be postedthrough March 22 beforethe selection process is initiated.Rex Richie has servedin the interim since DrewPaschall resigned last year.Later in the meeting,the council also created apart-time, contracted codecompliance officer position.Because the city cannot contractpast the end of the fiscalyear, the position is forsix months.“That gives us time toevaluate the performanceand need thereafter,” Ryansaid.The post will earn amonthly $500 salary — a$3,000 impact on this budget.Berghoefer said she’dbeen in contact with someonewho holds the requiredlicenses and permits but declinedto give a name.Because the position iscontracted, the city cannotstipulate the hours worked.“They work at their owndiscretion,” Berghoefer said.But the hired hand is toreport to her weekly, themayor added.Pooling timeIn related personnel matters,the council approvedthe formation of a voluntarysick-leave pool at the requestof employees wantingto donate their sick days to aco-worker in need.According to the ordinance,to use time from thepool, an employee must: contribute at least oneeight-hour period to the sickpool annually; have exhausted all oftheir own approved time off; be using it for personal,catastrophic ailments, notto care for a family member;and not request more than120 days a year (240 total)or one-third of the pooledtime.The pool will be administeredby a committee comprisedof department headsand one council memberappointed by the mayor,and once time is donated,it cannot be returned. Cityemployees get 12 sick daysa year.The city will make a onetimematch of the hours donatedby individual employeesto get the pool started.“I’ve had experience withsomething similar in thepast,” Ryan said. “It’s notused very often, but whenit’s needed, it’s needed.”In other news Berghoefer shared anote of praise submittedthrough the city’s website.A man from Temple washaving trouble getting incontact with his daughter,who just moved to RunawayBay over the weekend. So hecalled the police departmentand had them check on her.He was “very impressedwith the timeline in whichthe response was handled.”The note continued with,“You have a wonderful communityand a very good policedepartment.” Councilman Neil Petersreceived the green light totalk with golfball manufacturersand other companiesabout advertising on thecity’s water tower, whichlookslike a golfball atop atee. Although no price wasset, the council discussedcharging $100,000 up-frontto be featured on the watertower for 10 years. “I thinkI may be underpricing it,”Peters said. “That moneywould be used to rehab andrepaint the water tower andadd the logo.” Councilmembers awardeda $6,800 contract to BasicIDIQ to install handicapped-accessiblerampsat City Hall, to be paid forwith funds allocated for municipalbuilding repairs. Thecouncil postponed a decisionto install ramps at the policeand fire buildings pendingadditional research. The council approvedroutine items — minutesfrom the Jan. 15 regularmeeting and Feb. 13 worksession; the police department’sracial profiling report,as required by the state; andthe January financials, accountspayable, activity reportsand journal entries.BY ERIKA PEDROZAepedroza@wcmessenger.comCrime in Bridgeport was uplast year compared with 2011— but it was still below the2010 level.That’s what the city councilheard during the police department’sannual report atits regular meeting Tuesday.In all, there were 167 crimeincidents reported in 2012, upfrom 139 in 2011 but less thanthe 2010 total of 209.

These rules involve dependents and exemptions.Exemptions reduce taxable income. There are two types of exemptions: personalexemptions and exemptions for dependents. You can deduct $3,800 for each exemptionyou claim on your 2012 tax return.Personal exemptions. You usually may claim one exemption for yourself on your taxreturn. You also can claim one for your spouse if you are married and file a joint return.If you and your spouse file separate returns, you may claim the exemption for yourspouse only if he or she had no gross income, is not filing a joint return and was not thedependent of another taxpayer.Fred H.Ray III,EA*, ABA**1414 Chico HwyBridgeport, TX76426940-683-2838*Enrolled Agent with the Internal RevenueService**Accredited Business AdvisorGET YOURTAX SERVICELISTED HERECall Lori, Kelly, Laura or Lisafor more information940-627-5987ads@wcmessenger.comMaria’sINCOME TAX SERVICEProfessional & AffordableEstoy aqui tambien para ayudar lacomunidad hispana.1932 Hickory St., RhomeE-File ProviderOffi ce: 817-636-2202Cell: 817-914-2700Evening Appointments Availablemariahurtado@1scom.netC MCShellySessumsTAX SERVICEAll your Bookkeeping & TaxNeeds Year Round.

However, additionalwork has since beenidentified. To fund that, thecouncil on Tuesday approveda financing agreement withGovernment Capital in theamount of $65,000.

Rightnow, he said, he and the restof the athletic departmentwill concentrate on readingresumes and candidate recommendations.“It’ll be a lot of studyingand a lot of review and a lotof resumes and being diligent,”Fortenberry said. “It’sa very important process.We have got to hire the rightperson, and there is a lot ofpressure in that.”An Alvord native, Neighborsends a 16-year careerwith Paradise ISD.

I don’tfeel like the return on thoseadditional slips was importantat this time,” MayorRyan said.“For sure we’ve got to dothe repairs if we’re going tooperate the marina. I wouldhope we wouldn’t want to obligateourselves for that additionalamount of money inlight of the other things thatwe know are coming down.”Councilman White agreed,adding, “It would not be theprudent thing to do economically.”Work at the marina startedin the last week.“Hopefully we’ll see thatcome together in the nexttwo or three months,” Berghoefersaid..15th Annual Hunting Heritage BanquetCROSS TIMBERS CHAPTERNATIONAL WILD TURKEY FEDERATIONFriday, March 1Opening 6 p.m. • Dinner 7:30 p.m.Decatur Civic Center • 2010 W.

Hehandles things really well,”Ashcraft said. “It bothers himif he doesn’t play well. He’s gotan excellent work ethic and isextremely goal oriented.”Jones says he never wouldhave gotten this far, this fast,without his coach’s help.“I couldn’t have done itwithout him,” Jones said. “Ihad some talent, but I neededsome help. Having him as myswing coach helps a lot.”There were other big programsinterested in Jones,and he has always been told tokeep his options open. Being aTexas fan growing up and gettingoverwhelmed during hisvisit, the decision to get therecruiting process out of theway was an easy one.If Texas was going to offer,he knew he was going to accept.“I grew up liking Texas, so itwas going to always be Texas,”he said.Now that Jones has madethe history-making commitment,he has to deal with thestigma that comes with it.

I do think it’s a big bonusthough, getting this processoff my back.”It’s a lot to put on a kid whois two years away from havinga driver’s license, but Ashcraftsays Jones welcomes the pressure.“He understands it. I toldhim when he got back that hehas a target on his chest now,and he said he likes it,” Ashcraftsaid. “He doesn’t look atit as ‘I’ve made it.’ He doesn’tjust want to play at Texas; hewants to be the best player atTexas.“His sights are high, and heis a phenomenal young man.”ment this weekend in Stephenville.It’s the second straightseason Alvord will be makingthe trip to the regionaltournament, two wins awayfrom a trip to state.“We’ve been there.
