A good neighbor is the best crime prevention tool,Van Zandt County Sheriff Lindsey Ray told thosegathered at the Council of Van Zandt Communitieslunch last week.

Using Vince Lombardi as an example, Ray ex-plained his philosophy of starting with the fundamen-tals. “He had a firm belief in getting back to basics,”Ray said. “And that’s a rule that governs my life.”

When taking office in January 2012, Ray said hebegan to look at what the Sheriff’s Office was do-ing. “We were doing a lot of things right,” he said,“but it seems some of the things had started out realwell and then lost their vision. What we do is notrocket science, but we were still doing what we weredoing 20 to 30 years ago.”

With the co-sponsorship of the county commission-ers court, Ray started a program designed “to createan environment where the crook isn’t comfortable”– the Precinct Watch program.

More than two-thirds of the county’s residents liveoutside incorporated city limits, Ray said, meaningthey get their law enforcement coverage from thesheriff’s office. The most recent crime statistics showthat about 90 percent of crimes committed in thecounty are property crimes – thefts, burglaries or autothefts. Only 16 percent of those crimes were solved,Ray said.

When a criminal commits a crime and gets awaywith it, “they are likely to keep coming back to thatcounty until something happens to catch them ormake them move on,” Ray said.

“The Precinct Watch program is my attempt to go

Sheriff explains Precinct Watch programGood neighbors best crime-fighting tool, Ray says

to the people,” he said. “Our county is 859 squaremiles and we have two deputies working when weshould have 60. The commissioners support increas-ing the department as much as possible but we’vegot to have more help out there.”

The Precinct Watch program asks residents towatch out for each other. One of the problems is “wedon’t know our neighbors,” Ray said, “but do youknow what they drive? Do you know if the car inthe drive way shouldn’t be there? Well, there’s noway a deputy can know that.

“The very best crime prevention tool ever createdis a good neighbor and that’s all I’m asking people inthe county to be – a good neighbor. That’s how welower the crime rate and create an environment wherethe crook is not comfortable.”

Ray closed the program by distributing a quote fromLombardi. “People who work together will win,

whether it be against complex football defenses orproblems of modern society.

“It’s that simple,” Ray said.The next council of communities meeting will be

at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 12 at Nick’s Restaurant at theVan Zandt Country Club, 17960 Interstate 20. Theprogram will be presented by the Texas EmploymentCommission on veterans retraining.

Cluck said the Canton Police Department wantedpeople to know that the limit was lowered and althoughthe CPD was going to be a bit lenient until people getused to it, the roadway is also patrolled by Van ZandtCounty Sheriff’s deputies and Texas Highway offic-ers. “We’re going to be lenient for a little while but wecan’t say what other departments will do,” Cluck said.“We just want people to know the signs are up and beaware of the lower speed limits.”

Bradshaw confiscated the pills as evidence for a caseand then took them for his personal use. Officialssaid after his arrest, Bradshaw discussed his prob-lem with hydrocodone while being transported byan FBI agent.

serving as court clerk for a docket of arraignments andthe other was compiling and completing reports from arecent election.

McDonald held Bledsoe in contempt and recom-mended she spend 10 days in jail and pay a $500 fine.After a trial, Bledsoe was found not guilty and the chargeswere dropped. The question before commissioners waswho should pay Bledsoe’s attorney fees totaling$13,487.50.

“This case turned up being a lot more than just a criminalcase,” Elliott told commissioners. “It turned political andthat was not the intent. It went far and beyond a normalcontempt case. There was a 54-page brief of accusationswith attacks on commissioners, the district attorney andstaff at the courthouse, among others. I believe this wasgoing to be a political platform for Judge McDonald andwas a process to try and get the dirty laundry aired. Thegood news of this 11-month long trial is that it is over andcannot be appealed.”

Bledsoe was present during the presentation by Elliottand also addressed commissioners. “The day that thishappened, I did not think that I would actually be held incontempt,” she said. “I was short-staffed as it was and Itold Judge McDonald that I was doing everything I coulddo to get someone to him. There was a lot going on. ButJudge McDonald really did it, he really held me in con-tempt and it turned into a huge fiasco.”

Commissioner Virgil Melton Jr. asked Bledsoe if shethought it was the county’s responsibility to pay the attor-ney fees. “Yes, I do think it is the county’s responsibility,”she said. “But, if the commissioners vote to not pay Mr.Elliott, then I will pay him back dime-by-dime, even if Ihave to pay $100 every month. He will get paid, oneway or another.”

Bledsoe got up and walked toward the exit, but beforeshe left, she turned to Melton and said tearfully, “I steppedup and took one for the team, I don’t see why you wouldnot vote to pay Paul Elliott. He deserves everything heworked for.”

She then exited the courtroom.Elliott told commissioners he had chosen not to charge

the county for about $6,000 worth of work that waspreformed. “This trial cost a lot,” he said. “It extendedfar and beyond what a normal contempt case wouldbe. We made sure that it was a coordinated effort forthis case not to affect other litigation cases. If the courtdoes not pay my fees, then I do not want Bledsoe to paythem.”

Commissioner Ron Carroll said the whole event wasunfortunate. “This was an unfortunate situation for ourcounty. It caused a lot of bad publicity for us,” he said. “Itis bad when elected officials cannot work together to solvea problem. However, I think it was wrong of Ms. Bledsoenot to notify us about who she hired. I think if she hadnotified us first and we could have went from there.”

Elliot defended Bledsoe’s action. “Ms. Bledsoe con-tacted me when she was first charged with contempt,”he said. “If she had not acted when she did, we wouldbe looking at $60,000 to $70,000 easily. She saved thecounty money with her actions.”

The contempt case was not a good example of howthe county functions, County Judge Rhita Koches said.“Ms. Bledsoe being charged with contempt was not agood reflection on how business is handled at the court-house. It is not the way we usually do things,” she said.“We work out problems through communication andteamwork. I am glad this is over and we can begin tomove forward, but I do think we need to set somethinginto motion today. We need to decide how to payMr. Elliott.”

Carroll then made a motion for the county to makea payment of $ 13,487.50 to Elliott for charges in-curred. Melton seconded the motion and the votewas unanimous.

There are currently 99 groundwater conservation dis-tricts in Texas with 96 of those overlaying a major aqui-fer. The districts have the authority to regulate the spac-ing and production of water wells.

The Neches Trinity Valley Ground Water Conserva-tion District mission statement says: “The district oper-ates with the mission of implementing an efficient, eco-nomical and environmentally sound ground water man-agement program to protect and enhance the water re-sources of the aquifers within the District. The Districtregisters all water wells, considers applications for drill-ing and operating permits, and regulates production fromnon-exempt wells. The District also monitors aquifer lev-els, offers water conservation education outreach to theschools, and encourages water conservation to the pub-lic.”

The district is currently comprised of Cherokee, Ander-son and Henderson counties.

Athens’ offense,which had scored a totalof 157 points cominginto Friday night, got offto a slow start in the firstquarter. The only pointsthat stood on the boardfor Athens at the end ofthe first quarter was asafety courtesy of a badsnap on a Canton 4th and13 punt attempt.

In the second, the Hor-nets took advantage ofanother Canton miscue,blocking a punt on theEagle’s own 11-yardline.

Just two short playslater, sophomore runningback, Logan Fuller, tookit to the house on a 7-yard carry.

It didn’t take long forthe Hornets to get rollingafter that, after Cantonfumbled on the kickoffreturn, Athens had theball again on the Eagles’40-yard line. The Hor-nets wasted no time,racking up another 6points on the Eagles de-fense on a 13-yard run byDevin Hall.

The Hornets defensecontinued to stymie theEagle offense, playingwell and giving the ballback to their offense inless than a minute ofgame play. Athens’ Lo-gan Fuller scored on a 2-yard run moments later,upping the Athens leadto 22-6.

Gurley and her husband,David, are members ofChina Grove BaptistChurch in Canton and theowners of DG Construction.
