I wantedto be the last one to go so Iknew what time I needed tobeat. We rodeo all year long.It’s a long year and a longseason. It’s crazy it camedown to one run.”The win gave him $66,369and just enough to squeakinto 15th place in tie-downroping. He ended the regularseason with a mere $298more than Ace Slone of Cuero.“I experienced the entirerange of emotions,” Coopersaid of that final night. “Igot tested, and I got pulled,strained, but I kept my faithand it worked out for me thisyear.

Only the top 15 in theworld PRCA rankings earn ashot at the world championships.“The NFR is the SuperBowl of rodeos,” Clif said. “Everybodywho is in the industryis there. Your emotionsget amplified.

With 10 days torope in Vegas, he’s well withinreach of the top spot currentlyheld by Justin Maassof Giddings, who goes into theNFR with $144,001 in winnings.It’s the fifth time Tuf hasqualified for NFR. He’s finishedin the top four in theworld every year since hefirst joined the ProfessionalRodeo Cowboys Association(PRCA) in 2008. After finishingsecond in 2009 and2010, he stole the show andcaptured the tie-down worldchampionship in 2011. Nowhe’s headed west again to defendhis crown.“These next weeks are goingto be a lot of hard work,”Tuf said. “I want to go intothe finals to win it, and that’snot going to be easy.“It’s the best 15 in theworld that year. There’s notmuch room for error. But I’mstill roping for myself. I justtry to go out and make thebest throw I can. All I’m worriedabout is doing my job.”After slipping in the rankingsmidway through the season,Tuf found his stride atjust the right time.“The winter was good,” Tufsaid. “It was a little rough inthe middle of the year. I gotthings going again here at theend. I’m not going into the finalsin first. I haven’t been inthe lead all year. But I want towin the average and the worldchampionship.“It’s one calf, one run, anight. It’s the biggest 10nights of your life. If you canget into a zone you can win alot of money.”His older brother is a bitmore of a long shot, but he iseyeing the same prize.“The main goal is to win thegold buckle,” he said. “I alsowant to win the average at theNFR. And I want to show theworld what I’ve got. I’ve kindof got a chip on my shoulderbecause I haven’t performedas good as I can yet. And soI’m ready.”But tie-down roping is suchan individual sport, competitorstend to focus more onthemselves than the otherguy — even if it’s their ownflesh and blood.“At the NFR it really getsbrought to the point,” Clifsaid, “but when I’m roping Ijust try to do the best I can do.I don’t try to beat just one specificperson or a specific time. Ijust try to be as fast as I can beon the calf that I draw.“Roping you have to kind ofdo it by yourself. But I try topractice with Tuf as much aswe can so I can feed off of himand try to get to that level ofcompetition.”As Clif talks, calves bellowin the background in theirdad’s dusty arena. Located inthe rolling hills just outsideDecatur, the arena providesthe perfect breeding groundfor today’s rodeo stars.Their father, Roy Cooper, isan eight-time world championhimself. He qualified for theNFR a staggering 32 timesand has been in the Pro RodeoHall of Fame since 1979.“My dad’s the Michael Jordanof calf roping so it’s hardnot to be around it,” Clif said.“I’ve been roping ever sinceI was in diapers,” Tuf echoed.“I remember getting startedtracking a slow calf aroundthe arena on a slow horse. At6 years old I’d just track a calfaround in circles.”Growing up and riding withthe best seems to bring outthe best. The family arena isin the shadow of living legendTrevor Brazile, who’s on trackto win a monumental 10th allaroundworld title.“I’ve got the best ropersin the world that live in thesame place I do,” Clif said. “Igot to put down my pride andlisten to what they have to sayeven if it’s not what I want tohear.”“At a young age I knew if IMessenger photo by Joe Duty • Buy reprints at wcmessenger.com/reprintsALL IN THE FAMILY — Brothers Tuf (left) and Clif Cooper ofDecatur prepare for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas,which starts Dec. 6.

Rodeo is a hardway to make an easy livingis what my dad says. There’sthe ups and the downs, thehighs and the lows.

Despitebeing born three weekspre-mature, he alreadyweighed 9 1/2 pounds. Hisfather Scott and his momstayed night and day at thehospital until Grayson stabilized.“He’s meant to be here,”Milissa said. “He has a purpose.”Earlier this month, Graysonproved at least part ofhis purpose when he helpedsave his mother’s life.“My mom went outsideto take out the trash,” saidGrayson. “I was asleep in theDECATURBike wreck injures 1living room. But I woke upafter I heard a noise outside.”Milissa was in the grip ofviolent seizures. She’d fallennear the front steps of herhome in Newark. Her headwas heaving uncontrollablyup and down onto thewooden surface near thesteps. While some peoplemight have been too scaredor shocked to act, Graysonreacted with certainty andpurpose.“The first thing I did wasroll her onto the grass becauseit was a softer surface,”Grayson said. “I thenbrought her a pillow to putunder her head and a blanketbecause it was cold, and Icalled my dad.”His father, who was workingthe late shift, called 911and rushed home. In themeantime, Grayson continuedto remain calm and carefor his mother.“He kept count of howmany seizures she had, so hecould tell that to the medicsand firefighters when theyarrived,” Scott said.Moments later, membersof the Newark VolunteerA motorcycle operator was seriously injuredin a pre-dawn wreck Friday in Decatur.The accident happened at U.S. 380 and the onramp to U.S. 81/287 North in Decatur around5:40 a.m. when the motorcycle operator lostcontrol and struck a guardrail.The patient was taken to Wise RegionalHealth System and then flown to a Fort Worthhospital.The motorcycle operator’s name and conditionwere unavailable at press time Friday.Fire Department and WiseCounty medics arrived onthe scene.“They said everything hedid was textbook,” Scott said.They transported Milissato Wise Regional Health Systemin Decatur where theywere able to stabilize her.Milissa was diagnosedwith epilepsy about a yearago after a traffic accidentleft her brain damaged.Her life has permanentlychanged.

He and his neighborstold commissioners that whenthe road was open, it was acommon site for parties thatinvolved drinking and druguse.Bridgeport resident DavidCarlton filed a cross-petitionasking commissioners to denythe first petition.Citizens on both sides ofthe issue attended the commissioners’July 30 meetingwhere after an hour-long discussion,the county officialsdecided to re-open the road,denying Tackel’s petition.Email Kristen at ktribe@wcmessenger.com.November 30,

4A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, November 24, 2012OPINIONOUR VIEWSSmiling for the cameraBy BOB BUCKELIt’s not every day you seeseventh grader dunk aasketball.I’m sure that was part ofhe thought process for theeople who took the kid’sicture and emailed it to theewspaper where I used toork.(Sorry, coaches. This didot happen around here.)They were excited to havehis athletic prodigy in theiridst, so they sent the phooto our sports editor. But itas not a great photo. It wasoo far away, low-resolution,nd the kid’s face was notvisible. On top of that, theinformation they gave usjust said a seventh graderat that particular school recentlydunked a basketball.It didn’t tell us his name.Being a good sports editor,and sports having sloweddown since football season,he calledand suggestedhe comeout, take abetter photoand do a littlestory.BUCKEL“Out of thequestion,” the school replied.“Why?” we asked.“We can’t give you hisname,” they said.Again, “Why?”They couldn’t, wouldn’ttell us. We assumed the kid’sfamily was having some sortof custody battle, or was inthe witness protection program,or dad was in jail, ormom was a secret agent, orhe was really an experimentalgovernment robot kid.All we could do was assume,since no one could/would tellus anything.So we tossed the photo.If you’re going to tell yourreaders a seventh gradercan dunk a basketball,the least you can do is tellthem the kid’s name.It was all moot by spring,when he won virtually everyevent at the junior hightrack meet. Each time thepublic address announcergave the results, he loudlyproclaimed the kid’s namefor all to hear.Sadly, he moved awaybefore he could star for thehigh school team.But it raises a pointabout how much the worldhas changed.I know that sounds likesomething an old geezerwould say (and I qualify)but even the 30-somethingsin the office shaketheir heads at how differentit is, nowadays, goingto schools to shoot pictures.Some districts are stillfairly relaxed, wavingour photographers ontothe campus for field days,Christmas programs or themultitude of award-presentationswe’re invited tocover. At the big districts,those days are gone. We entera campus only if accompaniedby an administratoror a PR staff member.But even the most laidbackschool districts nowwant to know whose photoyou’re going to print — becausethey all have a “notto-be-photographed”list.Sometimes, the way theform is worded at the startof school, parents have theoption to have absolutelyno information releasedabout their child.Most likely think aboutunwanted mail, phone callsor emails, or even worse,identity theft, without realizingthat if they checkthat box, their kid can’tget his picture in the paperwhen he drops a Mentointo a two-liter jug of dietcola for science class.Our photographers arekeenly aware that no matterhow great a photo theymight get, we might not beable to use it if one of the“do-not-photograph” kidshappens to be in it, grinningat the camera. (Forsome reason, those areusually the little ForrestGumps whose faces are inevery frame.)It’s also ironic that someof the parents who checkthat box and keep theirkids’ faces out of the Messengeralso post all kindsof photos and personal informationon social websites.Those sites, by theway, are a much richersource of information forpredators than the newspaper.It’s a sign of the times,but a sad one.One of the best complimentsI ever got was from amom whose son was graduatingfrom high school.She told me they had athick scrapbook on him,starting with his birth announcement,pictures fromLittle League, the schoolplay, honor roll clippings,community service projects,all the way throughhigh school basketball andthe graduation section.“I know that if we livedin the big city, none of thatwould have been in the paper,”she said. “I’m just sothankful we live in a smalltown. We have the story ofour son’s life, all clippedfrom the newspaper.”He was a fiesty littlepoint guard who playedgood defense. As far as Iknow, he never dunked.But we knew his name.Bob Buckel is the Messenger’sexecutive editor.

That inludescoverage of accidentsnd fires in the county (orhat involve people from ourounty) and the accomplishentsand not-so-wise deciionsof our neighbors.We find the “local connecion”in every news item weun — even in the obituaresand press releases sentrom out of state.At times we work to put aace to a larger issue, as weid in the recent, two-weekeature series on the War onrugs. The series includedcouple of harder news stoies,filled with staggeringtatistics and the perspeciveof law enforcement ofcersand prosecutors.PEDROZAThe seriesalso ran thestories of formerusers —one payingthe price, otherswho gothelp in timeto withdraw and recover.As informative as the otherarticles were, the personalstories — the ones that puta face to the statistics — aremore stirring and relatable.Those are the stories of ourneighbors, people we workwith, attend school with andare served by at local restaurants— neighbors whostomp the same ground wedo.That concept seems applicablewhen choosingour charities, too — likethe “Look Local” campaignimplemented a couple ofyears ago. We are floodedwith requests for donationsfor a multitude of greatcauses, all local — cannedfood drives for our local foodbanks, diaper drives for thepregnancy resource center,catalogue fundraisers flungin our face by family membersto benefit their schoolor sports team. The listof causes that benefit ourneighbors and friends goeson and on.While I’d love to go grab apound cake from every bakesale at the local banks, orbuy a raffle ticket from everynon-profit for my shot ata new toy, I just can’t.I am, however, more proneto contribute to a cause ifI know the specific beneficiary.As a matter of fact, asyou’re reading this I’m probablyface-planting and gaspingfor air as a participant ina benefit soccer tournament(presuming it’s Saturday).And although I may regretit Sunday when I can’t prymyself out of bed, I didn’tthink twice about participating,despite my lack ofathleticism.I do this not only because Iknow the family and specificcause (offsetting the medicalexpenses of the fatherin-lawof two of my secondcousins,who is battlingkidney cancer), but becauseI couldn’t imagine not beingat my dad’s side if he werefighting a life-threateningdisease, like one cousin’shusband and another’s wife,who aren’t able to be withtheir dad in Mexico.However small, my contributionmight pay a sliverof a round of treatment or acouple of items in the grocerybasket.I also recognize the importanceof contributing toa larger cause where I don’tknow the directly impacted— causes like the AmericanCancer Society’s Relay forLife. Money raised at thisevent — somewhere, howeverlong ago — funded theresearch that developed thepill that is treating my familyfriend’s ailment.I became involved in thefundraiser in memory ofmy grandmother. Althoughshe lost her battle with lungcancer, she had her gooddays. Yes, I believe that waslargely due to a higher power,but I also think the treatmentshe received played arole.If it weren’t for the moneycollected at fundraiserslike Relay for Life, therewouldn’t be such options.In addition, an increasingnumber of my family membersand friends who live inthe area are fighting or supportinga loved one fightingthe disease. Each familiarface is another reason tosupport the research for acure.Amidst your younger relatives’petitions to buy cookiedough or donate to benefitaccident victims, considerbecoming involved in a Relay.The local event is heldannually in May, but aninformational meeting forthose interested is 6 to 8p.m. Monday, Dec. 3, at theHampton Inn in Decatur.Although perhaps not directly,your efforts will aidfamiliar faces — an alarminglyincreasing number ofthem.Erika Pedroza is a Messengerreporter.

The streetmust be paved so thatthe plat can get approvalfrom the Planning & ZoningCommission and citycouncil, according to PublicWorks Director Earl Smith.“Platting brings it underthe purview of the subdivisionordinance, and thatordinance requires that thestreet be paved,” he said.The street will extend fromWalnut, past Mill to theend of the property — butit can’t go through becauseit dead-ends into propertyowned by the Wise CountyAppraisal District.With the EDC board’sapproval, the budget itemwill go on the Decatur CityCouncil’s Dec. 10 agenda.Once the budget item is approved,the actual contractwill be signed and shouldget on the council’s Januaryagenda.EDC Director Jody Adamssaid he has been workingon the project — underthe code-name “ProjectDenver” — for about a year.“It’s gone well, just slow,”he told his board Tuesdaymorning. “This allows meto go to them and say thisis approved. This is committed.”Hydro-excavation is aclean, safe and precise excavationaccording to H2XPresident Mike Clark, whosaid he believes the technologyrepresents “the futureof safe excavation.”“We’ve been on site sinceJanuary, in and out with asmall presence, but nothinglike we’re about tohave,” Clark said Tuesday.“I don’t have a crystal ball,but I’d say we’ll have between15 and 40 employeesthere. Compliance, customersafety programs, DoT —all that’s going to be in thisoffice.”Clark said his companyis ready to move.“We’re hoping for approvalas quickly as possible,”he said. “We plan to breakground soon after that Januarycity council meetingand be in that building bythe end of February.”Clark said hydro-excavationis applicable forhighway, utility construction,oilfield and other applications— even digginga swimming pool on a tightlot where conventionalequipment won’t fit.H2X started in 2000 withtwo hydrovac trucks andhas since added two dozenmore trucks. Water used inthe process doesn’t haveto be potable, Clark noted,but it does need to be clean,since sediment would clogthe equipment’s high-pressurenozzles. The waterand dirt from the excavationis vaccuumed up as aslurry and typically stayson the site.Clark said his crews actuallylocated all the waterlines on the property wherethey are planning to build.“We spent about four orfive days locating thoselines so they would knowwhere the utilities are,” hesaid. “That’s just our contribution.”It’s not unusual for acity to not know exactlywhere some of its older waterlines are buried, Clarksaid.“If everybody knewRANDYWILLIAMSBUICK • CHEVY •CADILLACGMC •HYUNDAI•PRE-OWNED940-627-2177where all their lines were,we’d be out of business.”Email Bob at bbuckel@wcmessenger.com.Let RANDY SAVE YOU MONEY onYour Next NEW or PRE-OWNED Vehicle!YOUR PREMIER DESIGNS JEWELER(Independent Consultant)Gift shop with Me & I’ll deliver forFREE IN WISE COUNTYCity council votes to fix floorBy ERIKA PEDROZATo avoid a dangerous situation,the Runaway BayCity Council Tuesday approveda $12,576.85 bid torepair damages to the floorin the city council chamber.The damages, it is believed,are a result of a front flowerbed that allows water to comeunderneath the building andkeep it saturated.“Folks, y’all have got amess,” said Larry Settlewith Basic IDIQ, a generalcontractor that worksthrough purchasing cooperatives.“We brought inthree different contractorsto crawl under and look atthis facility ... You’ve gotsome very bad wood underhere. I’m very concernedthat, someday, someone isgoing to fall through andhurt themselves.”An original contractoroutlined an extensive planthat included demolishingthe flower bed and changingthat front area, implementingventilation (more thanwhat has already been added)and adding a completelynew floor — ripping out theflooring, replacing the joists,carpet, and even some of thedrywall where mold has begunto grow.The pricetag for that fix— up to $60,000 — did notappeal to the council.“Our opinion was to completelytear this thing allthe way down and replaceeverything — fix the ventilation,use marine boardand make this thing a councilroom that will last forever,a lot longer,” Settle said.“But then the price wasquite a bit more.”So the company presenteda more economical optionthat limited the scopeof work to about one-thirdof the room’s area, towardthe back where most of thedamage is located. Workerswill pull back the carpetand padding to allow accessto the wood floor, then removethe plywood flooringto expose the rotted joists.After tearing out thosejoists, treated 4x6 supportbeams and joists would beinstalled to support the newplywood flooring. Then theexisting padding and carpetingwould be reattached.“We were trying to comeup with a way to spend theleast amount of money,” Settlesaid. “But this is puttinga Band-Aid on it ... It’s notgoing to last forever. Everythingneeds to be replaced.All places are showing signsof rot, some dry rot. But it’sextremely bad in a particularsection (the back of theroom where citizens sit).That’s wet rot.”City officials were reluctantto pour too much moneyinto the building, whichmay be outgrown if anticipatedgrowth materializesafter a change in the city’shousing ordinance. See relatedstory on page 6A.“If the housing we’ve approvedgoes in, we’re goingto have the need for a largerspace than this,” Mayor RobertRyan said. “ ... also keepingmind that we do have asizeable amount of repairwork pending down at thedock. We don’t need to jumpoff and spend all the moneyon a room we use once amonth.”White added: “This $12,000that we’re going to spendwould be enough to last fora period of 10 years. Thatwould be adequate enoughfor growth and see where wemight need to go from there.”Even though the price wasmore favorable, council wasnot pleased with all of thecorners cut.RUNAWAY BAY“It says here that you’ll dothe underlying with particleboard, and I know particleboard, when it gets damp,it pretty much disappears,”Councilman Neil Peters said.“It’s a very, very weak woodwhenever it gets damp.”So the council requestedthe particle board be replacedwith extra heavy-grade plywood,an estimated $330 increase.“It may be just a Band-Aid,” White said. “But we’retrying to get a better brand ofBand-Aid.”The council approved theproposal on the conditionthat the better quality materialbe added and with knowledgethat more damages maybe identified once the groundis exposed.“Maybe that’s a good timefor us to go back and look atadding an addendum to sealthe flower bed and look atguttering as well,” Ryan said.“But we need to do it.”Councilman Ticer agreedbut also advised: “I know itneeds fixing. But we need tobe prepared to spend a lotmore money to do it, expect alot more damage when theypull the floor up. Let’s do itright.Settle said that most of thecosts and labor are are alreadyaccounted for.“When we tear this up,we’re going to see if there’sanything else that desperatelyneeds to be done,” he said.“But the main part of the laborand costs is already there.Buying a few more timbers isnot that big.“But this needs to be addressedbefore it gets realwet again.”Once started, the projectshould be completed in twoto three-and-a-half weeks.In other news Mayor Ryan reportedthat repairs to bring up thewater plant to TCEQ standardswere to begin nextweek and work to patch RunawayBay Drive, the city’s“main entrance” is on thedrawing board. White requested the citylook at compensating — eitherthrough refund or crediton their bill — the ownersnot able to access docks andother facilities due to stormdamage. City staff said suchadjustments are already inthe works. The council plansto meet with an engineer “inthe not-too-distant future” totalk dock repair. The council approved theconsent agenda that includedthe minutes from the Oct. 16meeting and a contract withWise County Appraisal Districtfor property tax assessmentand collection. Council members alsoOK’d the October financials,accounts payable, activity reportsand journal entries.Email Erika at epedroza@wcmessenger.com.940-627-5987WCMESSENGER.COM/SUBSCRIBELet Me Be YourPersonal ShopperNeed Assistance Buying orJust Need Great Gift Ideas?Dee Ann Archer192 Fairview Ct. • Decatur • 940.735-0361PACK ‘N’ MAILThe Packing ProsWe take the hassle out of shipping!FED EX • UPS • US Mail • BoxesPassport Photos • Document ShreddingCopies • Packing MaterialsMailbox Rental • Fax • Notary$2.00 OFF ANY PURCHASE OF $20 OR MOREExcludes Postage Stamps Expires 12/31/121816 S.

6A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, November 24, 2012Less for moreOrdinanceallowssmallerhomesBy ERIKA PEDROZARUNAWAY BAYWith less, the city of RunawayBay hopes to get more.More tax revenue, that is.At the request of the Planningand Zoning Commissionand after extensive research,the council Tuesday approveda building ordinanceamendment allowing theconstruction of 1,300-squarefoothomes (down from theprevious 1,600-square-footminimum) in designated areas.The particular zones are inthe Tryall and Lanai drivesarea, south of U.S. 380, andthe back side of Flozell AdamsDrive, north of 380 onthe far west edge of town.They were selected by a twopersonteam of P&Z chairmanRoland Ray and PatPravitz, who initiated the effort.“The only way we’re goingto get more taxes in the cityof the Bay, we’ve got to getbusiness here or we’ve got tobuild houses. And right now,businesses are not bangingthe door down to get in, soour best bet is probably in thehousing area,” Ray said.But the two recognized therequired 1,600-square-footminimum home size was notaccommodating.“Like Pat said when shefirst approached me withthis, we need to look at buildinga smaller home — justas good a home, but let’s go alittle smaller,” Ray continued.“We are a retirement community.In doing so, we need tomaybe open the door to moreaffordable homes.“We want the same type ofhousing we’re building now,”he added. “We don’t want toput in a less-desired structure.We just want to make ita little smaller.”The two talked with localIF YOU DIED TODAY, WHO WOULDTAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY?Don’t wait another day to protect your family.Kim PeytonProperty, Casualty Specialist104 N.

Our history bookstell us that the fi rst Thanksgiving occurred in 1621 with the Plymouth Colonists andNative Americans giving thanks to God for a bountiful harvest that helped them surviveafter a brutal fi rst winter. It was also an opportunity for the Colonists to show gratitudeto the Native Americans. The fi rst offi cial Presidential proclamation issued in theUnited States was for a day of national public thanksgiving and prayer by PresidentGeorge Washington, in 1789. In part it reads: “recommend to the people of theUnited States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed byacknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.” In1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation, “The year thatis drawing toward its close has been fi lled with blessings of fruitful years and healthfulskies. To these bounties, which are constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget theSource from which they come . . . the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.”Could these leaders be elected in today’s “political correctness” for acknowledging theblessings of Almighty God? These men must have read their Bible and known thescripture. “Giving thanks always for all things unto God” (Eph 5:20). “Offer untoGod thanksgiving” (Ps 50:14). “Continue in prayer, and watch in same withthanksgiving” (Col 4:2). Can we be thankful enough? Just look at all the food it takes tofeed this nation in just one day. Thank God for those that plant and harvest it, and forenough sunlight and moisture for it to grow and those that prepare it.Second Advent Christian Church615 S.

Notices were sentto the individuals who wouldbe impacted, requesting theirinput through phone callsand a public hearing.“We had some phone calls,but nobody came to our publichearing,” Ray said. “In myopinion, the feedback is OK.I don’t see anybody that hasa tremendous feeling againstdoing this particular thing.”In addition to allowingsmaller homes, the new ordinancealso eliminates therequirement of “one coveredparking spot with 60 feet ofstorage area and a secondparking area.”“According to the individualwe talked to, resale ofhomes with a one-car garageis very difficult,” Pravitz said.“Although he was in favor ofa two-car garage, you haveto think of our single citizenswho don’t have a need for twospaces.”In addition, one less requirementgives builders andpotential new residents “a littlemore leeway,” CouncilmanBerry White said.“The homes would not takeaway or detract from the communityof Runaway Bay,” Raysaid. “We didn’t want to reduceany of the building codesprevious councils have put inplace to ensure that we getattractive homes in the community... This opportunity isgood for the community. It’sabout growth. It’s about buildingaffordable homes that fitour community.”The council unanimouslyapproved the motion, madeby White, seconded by JerrySt. John.“I was a building inspectoraround here for aboutfour years, and I turneddown more houses here thananywhere because peoplewanted to build 1,400- and1,300-square-foot homes,”Councilman Dan Ticer said.“So I think it’s an absolutemust that we do this.”Email Erika at epedroza@wcmessenger.com.Steve RyanWISE COUNTY DIRECTORYOFFIRST BAPTISTCHURCHESOF ALVORD,DECATUR &PARADISESaturday, December 1Decatur Courthouse • 7 pmSunday, December 2First Baptist ChurchDecatur • 6 pm1200 W.

It wasthe hospital’s largest unsecureddebt.“It’s the last shot wehave,” Mayor McComis saidWednesday. “We felt we hada couple of avenues to lookat, a few options to exploreto be fair to the citizens. Idon’t know that we’ll getanything, but we certainlywon’t if we don’t try.”Council members interviewedGarrett and officiallyhired her Tuesday, butshe had already aided cityofficials at a bankruptcyhearing last Friday.“She was there to helpwith that,” McComis said.“She is, in my opinion, an expertin bankruptcy and hasideas I hadn’t even thoughtof. She is very knowledgable... We have set a maxamount that we’ll spend (inlegal fees). After that, it’spretty well done.”Brush size limitimposed for pickupPrior to the executive sessionand the motion that followed,the council breezedBRIDGEPORTKAREN GARRETTI AM BLESSEDTO SERVE AS YOURSALES CONSULTANT7Athrough the first chunk ofTuesday’s agenda, whichincluded considering anamendment to the brushand tree limb pickup ordinance.City workers will continueto pick up brush piledbehind the curb the last fullweek of each month, as outlinedin the previous regulation.However, the brushmust be cut to 6-foot lengthswith less than an 8-inch diameter.As in the previous ordinance,brush piled in alleysor streets, or obstructingrights-of-way, would not bepicked up until appropriatelyplaced.The council had heardseveral concerns regardingthe former ordinance inthree workshops, initiallyprompted by councilwomanKathy Kennedy in September.Kennedy said she wasworried about the largeamounts of brush throughoutthe city, including anarea near the elementaryschool.City officials learned thestreet department was notable to work its entire Augustroute because of thelarge amount of brush fromrecent storms and troublewith the brush truck.In October, staff presentedtwo options, whichcouncil found too restrictive.Instead, they opted for therule changes.The council also: heard a report on thecity’s investment portfolioas of Sept. 30 — a $769,569decrease in net investmentsfrom the previous quarterdue to $822,174 in debt servicepayments and two certificatesof deposits maturingand being renewed foran additional 12 months.Continued on page 8ABUICK CHEVY GMCHYUNDAI PRE-OWNEDjameswood.com 940-627-2177SUNDAYBible Study....................9 a.m.Worship.................. 10:15 a.m.Evening Worship........... 6 p.m.WEDNESDAYAWANA..................6-7:30 p.m.Happy ThanksgivingThanksgiving is a time to reflect on the things for whichwe’re truly grateful.
