Plans for the proposed bullet train connect-ing Dallas and Houston cleared a recent hurdle in Austin, though John Wray, Republican State Representative, still has doubts it will come to fruition.
“Nothing has passed in legislation to approve High Speed Rail,” he said on Thursday from his office in Waxahachie. While that is true, the people behind Texas Central Railway cleared a hurdle at the end of May they hope is indica-tive of future victories.
A c -cording to Wray, his c o n s t i t u -ents in District 10 s t r o n g l y oppose the for-profit rail sys-tem that would cut t h r o u g h Ellis County. He contin-ues to put up barricades in a bid to thwart the train while also leading the resistance for resi-dents of Eastern Ellis County.
That included four pieces of legislation and
Rider 48, the latter of which w o u l d h a v e barred the Texas De-partment of Trans-portation from using state funds to subsi-
dize or assist in the con-struction of the HSR.
“We wrote Rider 48 broadly enough to ef-fectively kill the train,” Wray said of those in Austin who stand against the bullet train. Senator Charles Schw-
ertner authored the piece.
But on May 21, when it was reviewed by a budget conference com-mittee, Rider 48 was defeated by a slim 6-4 count. The group con-sisted of five senators and five house mem-bers. One of them, Sen-ator Joan Huffman, who voted against the rider, said the vote should not be viewed as support for the proposed HSR proj-ect.
According to Texans Against High Speed Rail, she feels the proj-ect needs to be studied more and should not
begin without further evaluation from the State.
Wray did say there is little that can be done about the rider now since the budget has been adopted, choos-ing instead to say it is a “done deal.”
Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean the cow is out of the barn. Far from it, says the repre-sentative.
Four items, including two initiatives penned by Wray, are still alive.
“The two I have pro-posed,” he said, “are de-signed to kill or to make

More than 80 people, representing nearly 30 businesses in the city of Ennis, gathered at KC Hall Friday for the Ennis Chamber of Commerce quarterly luncheon.
The Chamber announced exciting events coming up in the near future, and Alan Daugherty, the CEO of Ennis Regional Medi-cal Center, shared a little about what’s going on with the hospital, including the ways in which the hospital serves in the community.
Becky McCarty, the city’s Main Street Co-ordinator also made a special cameo appear-ance, riding a bicycle up to the podium to
promote the city’s Red, White and Bike pa-rade coming up this Fourth of July holiday.
After the luncheon, Daugherty made it clear just how important it is to be able to share information like that with the com-munity.
“There’s so much that goes on with our staff – the hard work, the sweat – behind the scenes that no one gets to see,” he said. “I want to do everything I can to begin every conversation possible about us.”
Daugherty also spoke of the city’s rela-tionship with Lifepoint, the company that runs the hospital. He said the city owns

New Hope holds grand opening
SundayMark [email protected]
After two weeks of test runs at holding worship services in a con-verted, 95-year old landmark build-ing in downtown Ennis, New Hope Church will open its doors Sun-day in their grand opening on Fa-thers Day.
Pastor Buck Marshall has ex-tended an invitation to newcom-ers of all ages to visit them on the corner of West Ennis Avenue and Southwest Main Street in what was previously the H&H Gifts Shop.
“Join us this Sunday (June 21) at 10 a.m. for our grand opening ser-vice,” Marshall said this week. “As a leader in our city we would love for you to see the results of our ren-ovation and experience the love of Jesus from our church family.”
The pastor, an Ennis native, will share a message about fathers. It will begin with a 9 a.m. Fathers Day breakfast (bacon and eggs, biscuits, coffee, orange juice, milk, etc.) served to all dads, grand-dads and their kids. Please RSVP to [email protected].
Marshall’s message title; “True Fathers make a way for everyone else,” will take place during the two-hour morning service.

Unveiling months of creative input, the City of Ennis will reveal the comprehensive plan for downtown and sur-rounding areas at a vi-sionary open house on Thursday, June 25.
The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. in-side the Ennis National Bank Events Center, located at 116 W. Ennis
Ave. The public is wel-come and encouraged to attend.
Last fall the citizens of Ennis were asked for ideas that would im-prove the historic down-town district as well as other locations around the city. Some of them have been drafted as part of the presentation slated for Thursday eve-ning.
Working alongside Ennis leadership is
Halff Associates Inc. They have taken the task of helping with the eclectic challenges of meshing the input into a plan for the fu-ture design of Ennis. It includes a few items that will stretch the se-mantic of “downtown “to include ideas for Kaufman Street and Lake Bardwell, areas they feel are solid, un-tapped assets.
A land use plan was
recently shown to the city’s Comprehensive Plan Action Committee that was the result of four months of input. The Halff team believes there can be improved use of some areas of land, which will be de-tailed at the meeting with maps and visual concepts.
Suggestions include commercial, residen-tial, a business park and open-space park areas,
some of which are un-derdeveloped or unde-veloped at the moment.
Revitalizing of the Kaufman Street corri-dor and the expansion of Ennis westward to-ward Lake Bardwell have drawn positive re-views. The draft of land use includes a “lake ring road” around Lake Bardwell. It would allow folks to enjoy driving or taking walks or take ad-

the project less attrac-tive to its promoters.”
One of them, House Bill 3916, seeks to en-sure that in the course of eminent domain proceedings, property owners are fully com-pensated for their lost property. Specifically, it forces special commis-sioners to award dam-ages for the denial or impairment of access to the remainder of their property.
The other, HB 3918, emphasizes the project will receive “no state funding.” TCR has stat-ed repeatedly it will not need state support.
Wray says since they are on-record saying they have no intention of seeking state funds, this bill would preclude the issuance of PABs (private activity bonds), which are public funds. This move would also require the legislature’s approval for any money sought from tax-payers.
The remaining bills were put together by State Rep. Will Metcalf (Conroe, Tx) and Sena-tor Lois Kolkhorst (Br-enham, Tx).
A resolute Wray en-courages the many who have stood against the TCR.
“The commissioner’s court did a great job in building support” for the cause, Wray said. “Judge Carol Bush was
out front in opposing the HSR.”
“I have appreciated the hard work of Rep. Wray and Sen. Brian Birdwell (Granbury, Tx),” Bush said. “I am proud of the fight our people have given. Ad-vocating on their behalf is something I will con-tinue to do.”
Similar sentiment was voiced from Wray.
“I remain concerned about the importance of property owners’ rights and land value in Ellis County. I appreciate the efforts of grass-roots leaders in opposition of the train,” he added.
“As for what’s next,” he continued, “I’ll be studying ways I can as-sist the opponents of HSR. The vast majority of my constituency do not want the train in El-lis County.”
Wray, who attended both Texas A&M and the University of Tex-as, is not convinced the people backing the train have the money to fund the project.
“They still have to raise the finances to get the project off the ground. It could be a long shot,” he surmised. “The economic viability of it actually happen-ing, let’s say I am not convinced.”
Former member of the Texas House of Representatives, Robert
Eckels, 58, is a driving force behind the train. Their financial backing, however, is unclear.
Where the TCR will get the needed funds is a mystery as well, accord-ing to Wray.
He figures it could range from mutual and hedge funds to institu-tions and corporations; from individual inves-tors to lenders, as long as the for-profit rail sys-tem receives nothing from the state. He even doubts if the state or federal government will give them imminent do-main, which they would need to secure the land for building the tracks.
Wray listed four ad-ditional ways the HSR could be prevented.
“Their death knell could be that they sim-ply can’t raise the fi-nances,” he said. “Sec-ondly, Texans Against HSR may find other ways to oppose the rail-way.
“Number three, we might be able to use the federal government as a means to hinder the project, depending on what kind of stand they take.
“Finally,” Wray said, “the court system. I could see a few effected landowners uniting to put an end to the train before it puts an end to their ranches, farm-lands and way of life.”

New Hope is occupy-ing both buildings on the corner at 101 and 103 SW Main, where stu-dents from sixth grade through high school and all adults will be seated in an intimate, yet ca-sual less-than-200 seat sanctuary.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the same sized (1,700 square feet) room, chil-dren’s groups will meet. The nursery is called Tiny Soldiers, for ages 0-3; Little Conquerors - ages 3-5, then Mighty Warriors - kindergarten through 5th grade, each has age-level ministries that morning.
More information is available about the church, its staff and activities is available at www.newhopeforever.com.
Since their with-drawal from the Church of God denomination – they were located west of I-45 on highway 34, the entire church and its leadership have been without four walls to call their own. Their nomadic journey saw them meeting at Ennis’ Madison Hall from Oc-tober 2013 through the end of May 2015.
“We’re tired of cir-cling the mountain and never climbing it,” said Marshall. “It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get busy being the church.”
Having converted a near-century old build-ing, the pastor and his band of believers look to convert people who live for themselves into dis-ciples who live for God.
While they haven’t determined how long they will call 101 SW Main St. their home, it will be for the foresee-able future according to Marshall.
The church’s youth group, ages 12-19, meet downtown at 6 p.m. on Saturday nights. Matt
Powling is the student ministries pastor.

The Ellis County Commissioners Court is scheduled to meet Monday at 3 p.m. at the Historic Ellis County Courthouse.
On the court’s agenda are some routine items, as well as purchases, including the purchase of a 2015 Chevrolet Sil-verado Crew Cab for Precinct 2 and possibly authorizing County Judge Carol Bush to sign a contract for a Texas Community De-velopment Block Grant, which would be used for water line improve-ments for the Lee Road Plant.
Also on the agenda for Monday’s meeting is the acceptance of an-nual road improvement reports from Precinct 1 Commissioner Den-
nis Robinson, Precinct 2 Commissioner Paul Perry and Precinct 3 Commissioner Kyle Butler.
The Junior Service League recently made a $100 donation to the El-lis County Sheriff ’s Of-fice. Approval of accep-tance of that donation is also on the agenda for Monday.
Under the executive session portion of the meeting, the court is scheduled to discuss a matter “where the duty of the attorney to the Commissioners Court under the Texas Disci-plinary Rules of Pro-fessional Conduct of the State Bar of Texas clearly conflicts with Texas Government Code Chapter 551.” El-lis County Fire Marshal Joe Stewart brings this item via a letter from a
Stacy Cole Law, P.C. Stewart’s job has re-
cently been a point of conversation among the commissioners, as they are discussing whether or not to reassign him. No further information about this item has been discussed in open court thus far.
Other items on the agenda include:
Acceptance of fill dirt and limestone rock donation from Precinct 3 resident Gary Sheri-dan.
Approval of the North Central Texas Council of Govern-ment’s Area Agency on Aging (NCTAA) local administrative match of $11,191 and authori-zation for Bush to sign a memorandum of under-standing.
Commissioners Court meeting Monday
Defense of their 2014 state championship doesn’t officially begin until the season opens in 10 weeks when Timber-view comes calling on Aug. 28. The kickoff will be a matchup of Top Ten powers that should pack Lions Memorial Stadium.
The coaching staff and Team Maroon know the success of the season has already begun. An off-season weightlifting program, workouts and spring camp were criti-cal. So are informal prac-tices by the players on their own.
Camaraderie and heart don’t show up when Friday night lights are turned on in the fall. They are born and bonded in sweat and sacrifice. Team chemistry and leadership are not assigned, they are developed outside of the
sight of fans.Last year’s
team was eaten-up by heart. Tay-lor Thomp-son was a l l -corazon. Drake Kuehn, Ke’Idre Flow-ers, Devin Smith, Donta T h o m p s o n , Jake Turner, that O-line, James Lockhart, a sec-ondary that grew by leaps and bounds – they were just part of a unit that became very difficult to beat; especially when their backs were against the wall and the clock was not an ally.
This season may prove to be just as challenging, with the Lions running the gauntlet against teams frothing for a chance to
hit the bulls-eye on the Li-ons’ collective backs.
W h i l e much of the focus will be on the devel-opment at quarterback, the strength of this year’s team, and per-haps the next two years,
should be an offensive line that takes no prison-ers.
The bookend tackles of Trendon Rolen and Deven Collins, a pair of 300-pound road graders, will be juniors. But it’s the rise of the interior that is much tougher than advertised.
Sam Grayson, who bears resemblance to the last name of Bunyan, has
won the center position. The two guards are criti-cal to the team’s running game – which is filled
with traps and counters, appear to be Kyle Casas and Andy Corea.
While the skill positions
will be filled with newcom-ers, fans can take refuge in an O-line that could be this year’s backbone.

Kaylee BearKingThe American Sokol Southern District Slet competition and ex-
hibition was held last Saturday in Corpus Christi and includ-ed teams from Ennis, Fort Worth, Houston and Corpus Christi. Ennis resident Kaylee BearKing won 1st place All Round for Level 1 in her age group. She will be a first grader at Palmer Elementary in the fall. She didn’t begin gymnastics until last September at the Ennis Sokol Hall.
On October 6 of last year she was airlifted from Ennis Regional Hos-pital. Unresponsive, she was flown to Cooke Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth. BearKing was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and placed in the pediatric ICU where she stayed for two weeks.
After regaining her strength she returned to gymnastics. Coach Lakn Dieterich, from Waco, and others from the Ennis coaching team proved instrumental in her remarkably quick recovery and development. Kaylee is the daughter of Olivia BearKing of Ennis and Sky BearKing of Midlothian. Her grandparents are Mike and Cindy Holland of Ennis and Ronald and Darcy Finn of Ennis.
Southwestern As-semblies of God Univer-sity’s (SAGU) men’s bas-ketball coach Donnie Bostwick wrapped up a week working to decide the 2015 USA Basketball Men’s U19 World Cham-pionship Team. Twelve players from across the U.S. made the team.
“I want thank God for this opportunity,” says Bostwick, “USA Bas-ketball does an incred-ible job of selecting and preparing these young players. I have learned over the years to enjoy the journey and build relationships. Sharing God’s love while doing this is where true joy is found. The last thing I told each player was to win the gold and that I would be praying for them.”
While Bostwick was in Colorado he worked as a court coach. For three days Bostwick and two other court
coaches worked closely with all of the 21 ath-letes. At the end of the camp, the three court coaches, along with the USA Coaches Commit-tee, worked together to decide what players made the team. A pro-cess that was difficult to do says Bostwick, “With each decision a player’s dream to play for the USA would either come true or be shattered.”
Out of the 12 players selected for the team, eight already boast prior USA Basketball experience. The USA U19 squad will look to defend its 2013 U19 gold at the 2015 FIBA U19 World Champion-ship from June 27-July 5 in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. Athletes eligi-ble for this team must be U.S. citizens who are 19 years old or younger.
Coach Bostwick was honored with the oppor-tunity he received with USA Basketball, “It was important to me to rep-resent the NAIA and small college coaches to the best of my ability. There are many incred-ible coaches who never get this sort of oppor-tunity. The credit goes to my assistant coaches, players, and my fam-ily. Along with God’s favor, these people are the ones who have sac-rificed a lot resulting in our success.”
The returning gold medalists named to the U19 squad include: Isaiah Briscoe (Roselle Catholic H.S./Union, N.J.); Jalen Brunson
(Stevenson H.S./Lin-colnshire, Ill.);Terrance Ferguson (Home-schooled/Dallas, Texas); Harry Giles (Wesleyan Christian Academy/Winston-Salem, N.C.); Josh Jackson (Prolific Prep, Calif./Southfield, Mich.); Caleb Swani-gan (Homestead H.S./Fort Wayne, Ind.); Jay-son Tatum (Chaminade College Prep/St. Louis, Mo.) and Allonzo Trier (Findlay Prep, Nev./Se-attle, Wash.).
Also selected for the USA U19 Team were: Jawun Evans (Kimball H.S./Dallas, Texas); Chinanu Onauku (Lou-isville/Lanham, Md.); L.J. Peak (Georgetown/Gaffney, S.C.); and Thomas Welsh (UCLA/Redondo Beach, Calif.).
The 2015 USA Men’s U19 World Champion-ship Team will be led by Sean Miller (Arizona), along with USA assis-tant coaches Ed Cooley (Providence) and Ar-chie Miller (Dayton).

The Fourth of July is one of America’s favorite holidays. And, why not?
Families and friends gather to celebrate our country with food, pa-rades, parties, and fireworks.
But there is a very dark side to this great holiday.
For many, the celebrations turn from festive to fatal when alcohol-impaired driving crashes occur be-cause someone chose to drive after drinking.
In 2013, Forbes magazine named the Independence Day holiday “the most dangerous holiday of the year.”
The Texas A&M AgriLife Exten-sion Service Watch UR BAC pro-gram suggests that if you plan to celebrate with alcohol, you plan a safe ride home.
Throughout the region, local po-lice will be out in force this July 4th holiday period, cracking down on drunk driving through increased pa-trols. Officers remind you to “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”
Unfortunately, the latest statis-tics from the Texas Department of Transportation underscore the need for the July 4th crack-down.
In 2014, there were 1,041 fatalities in Texas involv-ing drivers who were le-gally drunk at the time of the crash (having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter or higher).
Fifteen alcohol-related deaths occurred in Texas during the 4th of July holiday period in 2014. Nighttime is particularly dangerous every day of the year, and the July 4th holiday is no exception.
This Fourth of July holiday, you can show your patriotism by helping to make roads safer for everyone. Re-member to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
It’s as simple as that.Law enforcement is not messing
around this Independence Day: if you’re caught driving drunk, you will be arrested.
And keep in mind that aside from putting your life and the lives of others at risk, driving impaired can also lead to serious consequences.
Here are a few simple tips to avoid a drunk-driv-ing disaster:
Plan a safe way home before the fun begins.
If you’re impaired, call a sober friend or fam-ily member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely.
If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact law enforcement.
If you know someone who is about to drive impaired or ride with an impaired driver, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely. Plan early to enjoy America’s favorite holiday!

Church brief
Cring & Clazzy “Within” Our
TownAppearing Sunday,
June 21, at 8:45 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., at the First United Methodist Church, 300 Sherman Street in En-nis, are Cring & Clazzy, dubbed by a recent review-er as “the biggest 2-piece band in America.”
They will share an en-tertaining and inspira-tional program called 567: go tell it from the Mount, a modern-day look at The Sermon on the Mount, using music, stories and song.
They will also present
excerpts from Mr. Cring’s new book, Within, which recently has been released and is already one of his best-sellers.
“After traveling nearly 40 years all around this great country, I have been blessed to learn a lot about people, myself, his-tory, and God, which has been mingled with tons of humor and a whole lot of common sense,” said Mr. Cring. “So I sat down and wrote a very short, concise, accessible and en-tertaining series of quick ideas and notions about what makes us tick as peo-ple, and how we can work better with our time.”
The duo has been on the road for 20 years. In the past three years, they have reached 42 states and
362 cities, with 518 perfor-mances.
“567 is a program that unites the generations, closes the political gaps, and gets us to laugh long enough that we stop fuss-ing with each other,” said Ms. Clazzy, who was the first female conductor of an orchestra in the state of Tennessee. She per-forms on an instrument called the WX5 Wind Ma-chine, a horn touting the sounds of 250 different in-struments.
The partners will ap-pear at the church for one day only, and the program will have the audience in and out in less than an hour.
For more information, contact the church at 972-875-7491.

Palmer Elementary School welcomed Dr. Jean Feldman to its campus for a professional development seminar for early childhood education.
Dr. Feldman motivates teachers across the country with her engaging songs and creative activities that help make teaching and learning exciting.
She is an authority in early childhood education. Dr. Feld-man’s noteworthy educational career has spanned more than 40 years. She has served as a classroom teacher, instructor of adults, author, and consul-tant. She holds a B.A. from the University of Georgia, a D.A.S.T. from Emory Univer-sity, and both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Georgia State University.
“She only had a few dates available so we jumped at the opportunity to have her come to our school,” said principal Allyson Spurgeon. “She was in Lewisville ISD the day before she came to PES. Our babies deserve the best and she is the best!”
Dr. Feldman teaches teach-ers how to make kids smile and have fun while learning. She puts songs in the hearts of children.
Many students in the Palm-er school system have already learned with “Dr. Jean.” They have learned the months of the year doing the “Macare-na,” sign language days of
the week to the “Addams Fam-ily tune,” read like one of the three bears to develop fluency, and many more.
The elementary teachers learned different ways to as-sess learning instead of pencil and paper tests. They studied 21st century learning, includ-ing critical thinking, com-municating, collaborating, flexibility, adaptability, self-di-rection, and social responsibil-ity, through her whimsical and relevant methods.
Teachers also learned the importance and in what man-ner they can balance tech-nology with play, hands on activities, centers, social expe-riences, songs, stories, move-ment, oral language.
Second grade teacher Lind-say Leal said, “She was awe-
some! I got so many great ideas that I can’t wait to use next year.”
Shelley Cavalho, kindergar-ten teacher, added, “Thanks Dr. Jean and Palmer ISD for a fun and relevant training with this wonderful lady.”
Palmer ISD made Dr. Feld-man’s blog (drjean.org) this week. It reads: “I was at two great school districts (Lew-isville and Palmer ISD) this week in Texas who ‘get it’! Teachers can have fun learn-ing through play as well!!”
Spurgeon also had these re-marks about the day: “Dr. Jean is a breath of fresh air. She brings the excitement and joy back to teaching. She makes learning fun. Students love her brain breaks, songs, ac-tivities, and cheers. “Kiss your Brain” because you are impor-tant and you matter! She is the queen of early childhood. We were honored to have her on campus.”

On Saturday June 6, Za-kat Court #133, Daughters of the Imperial Court of the Ladies Auxiliary to the An-cient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, held their Daugh-ter Jennie V. Jack-son Scholarship and Founder’s Day Luncheon at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, 8703 East R. L. Thornton Freeway in Dal-las. This orga-nization held its first creation on May 21, 1955, at which time the original 18 members stepped into the new world of excellence and community service which planted the roots where there has been growth and inspiration. Daughter Jack-son (April 12, 1922-October 13, 1998) served as Illustri-ous Commandress of Zakat Court from 1974 to 1975 and was named Daughter of the Year in 1985. She received a number of awards for her service to humanity, includ-
ing the Honorary Past Impe-rial Commandress Degree at the Imperial Court Session in August 1998.
The theme for this event was “Celebrating 60 Years of Sis-terhood and Com-munity Outreach through Educa-tional Scholar-ships and Chari-table Donations.” Daughter Hazel Te n n i s o n - S c o t t served as mis-tress of ceremo-nies. Daughter Brenda Randle
gave the welcome and read a Scripture. Daughter Mar-jorie Z. Cary led in prayer. Daughter Scott gave the in-troduction and established the protocol. Daughter Cary spoke “In Loving Memory of our Deceased Daughters” as a candle was lit. Daughter Annie Spears presented the occasion. After lunch was served, Daughter Scott in-troduced the speaker, Mrs. Mechelle M. Ware, an admin-istrator with Dallas Indepen-dent School District and an
online college professor. She talked about agape love as not being fair-weather love and urged Daughters to love one another as Christ loved the Church and to “be true to God, yourself, and your com-munity.” She said a storm does not make you who you are but reveals who you are. She assured the audience that “You ain’t seen nothing
yet. The best is yet to come.” Daughter Scott presented the “Woman of the Year” award to Mrs. Lorraine Ad-ams, assistant principal at John Neely Bryan Elementa-ry School in Dallas. Closing remarks and acknowledg-ments were made by Daugh-ter Kathy Stephens, Illustri-ous Commandress of Zakat Court, who permitted me to
make a presentation on the four books I have written. The luncheon was closed with a prayer by Noble Isaac Cary, Past Potentate of Zakat Shrine Temple #164. This event was enjoyed by all in attendance.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is reminding Texans that as summer temperatures increase, so do does the potential for vehicular heatstroke deaths in children. Every year, children die from heatstroke af-ter being left in a vehicle or entering a vehicle unnoticed.
“Children should never be left un-attended in a vehicle regardless of the weather; however especially in warmer temperatures, the likelihood
of serious injury or death increases exponentially when a child – or any-one – remains in a hot vehicle for too long,” said DPS Director Steven Mc-Craw. “DPS urges parents, caretakers and the public to do their part to pre-vent vehicular heatstroke by never leaving a child inside a vehicle with-out an adult present, and by notifying emergency personnel if they see a child alone in a car.”
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, tem-peratures inside a car can rise more than 20 degrees in only 10 minutes;
and even with an outside temperature of 60 degrees, the temperature inside a car can reach 110 degrees. Leaving windows partially rolled down does not help. In addition, young children are particularly at risk since their bodies heat up faster than an adult.
DPS offers the following tips for preventing vehicular heatstroke deaths and injuries:
•Always check the back seats of your vehicle before walking away.
•Establish reminders that help en-sure you remove children from the vehicle. For example: leave your bag,
lunch or cell phone in the back seat with the child’s car seat.
•Call 9-1-1 if you see a child alone in a car, and emergency personnel will instruct you what to do next.
•If a child goes missing, open the doors and trunks to every vehicle in the area. One-third of all of the deaths occur when a child accesses a parked car unnoticed.
•Teach children not to play in vehi-cles and make sure to place the keys out of reach when not being used.

Peach cobbler topped with peach ice cream is the kind of dessert made for a Texas summer – and it’s a dessert that’s homemade from – and now served in – the orchard at the Peachy Page Farm, just outside Scurry.
It was a cold January morning in 2007 when Robert and Cindy Page planted their first peach trees – four vari-eties of 250 free stone peach-es. Later that year, the first blackberries were planted.
Today, Peachy Page Farm features seven varieties of peaches from about 575 trees, 25 plum trees, and home-grown blackberries. Custom-ers can buy the home-grown peaches and blackberries, and the home-made jellies and several varieties of homemade ice cream at the farm.
“Our main focus is for cus-tomers to come to the orchard not only to buy fresh fruit, but to see our operation,” Cindy Page said. “We are very proud of what we have and love to share our knowl-edge with others. We are lifelong learners and learn something new and different about our production every year, that is what we are all about.”
Part of that operation is something new. On Satur-day, June 6, the Pages hosted their first “Dinner in the Or-chard.” With lights strung between the trees, nicely decorated tables, and a menu of smoked pork loin, roasted sliced sweet potatoes, vege-tables, a salad, and the afore-mentioned peach cobbler with peach (or vanilla) ice cream, the Pages entertained a dozen guests. They gave the meal, atmosphere, and hospi-tality high marks.
“Robert and I visited a winery outside of Freder-
icksburg, Texas, last summer and the thought came to me as I was thumbing through a magazine that day about the wineries with pictures of dinners in vineyard,” Cindy said. “We knew we could do the same thing in our or-chard.
“The orchard is always such a beautiful place, peace-ful and gracious late in the af-ternoons and at dusk that we knew we wanted to share this setting with others. Robert and I both love to entertain and so the two just went hand in hand.”
Dinners in the orchard will now be held on a month-ly basis – six months of the year, and you get can more information about trying it yourself or as a group by con-tacting the Pages.
The event included a brief tour of the orchard, with Robert leading the way.
He described how they care for the trees, and how they “get a haircut” every year. “It’s quite a sight after that,” he said. “If you come out here and look, it’s just like this,” he said, moving his farm parallel to the ground from left to right, indicating that haircut is a flat-top.
A two-bladed orchard fan stands in the orchard. Robert explained that it’s used to bat-tle cold weather during freez-ing temperatures. The fan is utilized when the buds on the peach trees are in danger of freezing.
The orchard, Robert said, was started as a way to fund retirement. It is labor-inten-sive, and it’s Robert’s and Cindy’s to maintain. When it’s harvest time, however, more help is necessary.
“Yes, they are all picked by hand,” Cindy said. “We have great help from a friend in Kaufman, Lorrie Mitchel who help us with the picking and selling, along with three fantastic kids – middle and
high school age – who live on our road and help with pick-ing and selling at markets.”
The Pages don’t let folks pick peaches themselves, but if you are into gathering your own blackberries, they are more than happy to accom-modate you with that.
Some people might know Robert and Cindy from en-counters in their communi-ties.
“We have attended many markets to share our love of peaches and berries,” Cindy said. “To name a few – Kaufman Scarecrow Festi-val, Ennis Farmers Market, White Rock Market (White Rock area in Dallas), Saint Michaels Market ( orth Dal-las), Clifton Trades Days, and Hico Annual Steak cook-off.We have been guest speakers Kaufman County Lions Club
and Kaufman Master Gar-deners.”
Additionally, the Pages have a plan for kids to learn.
“School tours have been mainly for children 3-5 years of age to date. We are cer-tainly open to giving tours for older groups but the op-portunity has not presented itself at this time,” Cindy

Classes may be out for the sum-mer but helping underprivileged students is a year round objective for Give-A-Kid-A-Chance (GAKAC), the faith-based, back-to-school ini-tiative that celebrates its 10th year in operation this fall. The non-profit charitable entity that functions un-der Mission Ennis Bridge Builders provides school uniforms and sup-plies, backpacks, haircuts and health screenings to area children regis-tered with the organization. Each August a kick-off event, planned and staffed by volunteers, ensures these and other provisions and services are made available to economically disadvantaged students. This year’s
kick-off is set for Saturday, August 15 at Ennis High School from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“GAKAC exists because our vol-unteers and sponsors know there are hundreds of families and thou-sands of children in our neighbor-hoods who need love and support,” explained the group’s director Marty Nelson.
“Providing clothes, backpacks and school supplies is just the beginning of what we hope will be a meaningful relationship.”
Serving as many as 1,500 chil-dren and their families in Ennis, Palmer, Corsicana and Waxahachie, GAKAC actively seeks donations to meet their needs. For a donation of $30, one child receives clothes, backpacks, meals and grade specif-
ic school supplies. “One hundred per-cent of donations go directly to the program,” states the organization’s exec-utive summary for 2015. “Everything is provided free for the student and their family. There is no overhead or paid staff – all GAKAC activities are per-formed by non-paid volunteers.”
In addition to granting immediate physical needs, the group offers emo-tional support and spiritual guidance to families undergo-ing difficulties. ‘For GAKAC, we model our behavior, be-liefs and methods to mirror those of Jesus,’ points out Nelson, who is also director of the City of Ennis’ department of economic develop-ment. “There’s way too much going on for our organization, or any other for that matter, to solve all the prob-lems facing economically disadvan-taged children. But what we can do is feed a hungry child, help a parent provide a school uniform and sup-plies.We can open our hearts and love them, we can show them they’re not alone, we can offer a word of comfort, and we can pray for them.”
To administer the various needs of kids and their families, the agen-cy divides itself into special purpose teams. These units oversee nomina-tions and registration, age-appro-priate book selections, health ex-
aminations, food and entertainment options, provision of clothing and hair care and spiritual counseling. There’s even a photography team that enables families to have a group portrait taken.
“GAKAC makes a tangible dif-ference in many lives because of the effort and sweat equity that folks commit each year,” Nelson ob-served. “Without them and many, many others, GAKAC wouldn›t hap-pen.”
Current sponsors and volunteers include: The Way Truth and Life Church (Pastors Linda and Jasper Hughes); Unity in the Community (Charlotte Watson); Kay Weathers; New Hope Church (Pastors Buck and Rhea Marshall); Inspiration Inc

Anytime someone makes a cal-culated decision to take the lives of others, its a tragic thing, regardless of circumstance.
As a man walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. and killed innocent churchgoers, the country stood still to learn about the story.
We’ve almost grown numb to mass shootings, but this one is different from the others. Not because it almost certainly had something to do with race, but because of where it hap-pened.
Churches, temples and sacred places of all religions have always been considered safe places, places of sanctuary and asylum. The Egyptians, Greeks and Hebrews even recognized a religious “right of asylum” in which even criminals could seek refuge within the walls of a church.
When the suspect, now identified as Dylann Roof, walked through the doors of the South Carolina church and made the decision to shoot and kill nine people at-tending a Bible study class, he not only ignored the sanctity of human life but ignored the sanctity of a holy place, where people go to feel safe and secure. It’s difficult to tell which is worse.
If statements from one of the survi-vors is true that Roof said, “You rape our women and are taking over our country, and you have to go,” then it is clear the shooting had nothing to do with religion but rather with race.
No matter the reason, the 21-year-old man who did this should be vilified worse than the numerous other mass shooters before him.
Schools should feel like a safe place in the United States, but for some youth, they are actually places where the picked-on feel unsafe and insecure. In a movie theater, people never ex-pect to be shot, but then again a movie theater isn’t a place of spirituality and worship.
Churches, however, are where we gather, where we seek significance in life and where we find love and accep-tance.
Whether the suspected killer has a problem with Christianity, or orga-nized religion in general, it doesn’t matter. The refuge of churches and sa-cred places should be respected by all.

Economically speaking, all 237 GOP presidential candidates are selling the same Magic Beans.
Everybody knows the script. Tax cuts for wealthy “job creators” bring widespread pros-perity. Top off Scrooge McDuck’s bullion pool, and the benefits flow outward to everybody else. The economy surges, budget deficits melt away, and the song of the turtledove will be heard in the land.
Almost needless to say, these “supply side” miracles have never actually happened in the visible world. State budget debacles in Kansas and Louisiana only signify the latest failures of right-wing dogma. Hardly any-body peddling Magic Beans actu-ally believes in them anymore. Nevertheless, feigning belief sig-nifies tribal loyalty to the partisan Republicans who will choose the party’s nominee.
However, with everybody in the field playing “let’s pretend,” a can-didate needs another way to distin-guish himself. I suspect that Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin may have found it. See, Walker won’t just put money back in “hardwork-ing taxpayer’s” pockets.
Like a latter-day Richard Nix-on, Walker will also stick it to peo-ple they don’t like: Lollygagging schoolteachers, feather-bedding union members and smug, ten-ured college professors who think they’re smarter than everybody else. If he lacks charisma, there’s an edge of ruthlessness in Walk-er’s otherwise bland demeanor that hits GOP primary voters right where they live.
No less an authority than Uncle Scrooge himself -- i.e. David Koch of Koch Industries, who with his brother Charles has pledged to spend $900 million to elect a Re-publican in 2016 -- told the New York Observer after a closed-door gathering at Manhattan’s Empire Club that Walker will win the nomination and crush Hillary Clinton in a general election “by a major margin.”
Viewed from a distance, the de-termination of prosperous, well-educated Wisconsin to convert
itself into an anti-union, right-to-work state like Alabama or Arkan-sas appears mystifying. To risk the standing of the University of Wisconsin system by abolish-
ing academic tenure, as Walker intends, is damn near incompre-hensible.
Attack one of America’s great public research universities for the sake of humili-ating (Democratic-leaning) professors over nickel-and-dime budgetary issues? Do Wisconsinites have no clue how modern economies work?
Maybe not. But Walker’s support-
ers definitely appear to know who their enemies are, cultur-ally speaking. Incredulity aside, it would be a mistake not to no-tice the craftiness with which he’s brought off the transformation. Not to mention that Walker’s won three elections since 2010 in a “blue” state that hasn’t supported a Republican presidential nomi-nee since Ronald Reagan.
Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes don’t mean much by themselves, but throw in Michigan and Ohio, Midwestern states also trending similarly, and you’ve definitely got something.
Act 10, the 2011 law that took away collective bargaining rights for many public employees in Wis-consin -- except, at first, for police and firefighters -- brought crowds of angry teachers (also mostly Democrats) to the state capitol in Madison for weeks of angry dem-onstrations. As much as MSNBC was thrilled, many Wisconsinites appear to have been irked.
In the end, the state ended up saving roughly $3 billion by shift-ing the funding of fringe ben-efits such as health insurance and pensions from employer to employee, costing the average teacher roughly 16 percent of his or her compensation. Mindful of budget shortfalls, the unions had proposed negotiations, but that wasn’t enough for Gov. Walker.
For the record, Act 10 was an almost verbatim copy of a bill promoted by the Arlington, Vir-ginia-based American Legisla-
tive Exchange Council (ALEC), a think tank largely funded by, you guessed it, the brothers Koch.
Four years ago, a documentary filmmaker caught Walker on cam-era telling wealthy supporters that the new law was just the begin-ning. “The first step is, we’re going to deal with collective bargaining for all public-employee unions,” he said, “because you use divide-and-conquer.”
“If we can do it in Wisconsin, we can do it anywhere -- even in our nation’s capital,” Walker wrote in his book, “Unintimidat-ed,” notes Dan Kaufman in the New York Times Magazine. Else-where, Walker has boasted that as president, he could take on foreign policy challenges, because “If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.”
Ridiculous, of course, but it plays.
Meanwhile, rueful trade union-ists who endorsed Walker in 2010 because they never imagined that having vanquished the women’s union he’d come after the iron-workers and the electricians in their pickup trucks, are crying the blues. Divided, they’ve been con-quered.
So right-to-work it is: Salaries are already diminished, with job security, pensions, health and safe-ty regulations inevitably to follow.
More bullion for Scrooge Mc-Duck’s pool.
So now it’s the professors’ turn. Walker, a Marquette dropout, has described his new law as “Act 10 for the university.” Tenure’s a dead letter in cases of “financial emergency ... requiring program discontinuance, curtailment, modification or redirection.”
So who gets redirected first? Left-wing culture warriors or cli-mate scientists? Hint: Scrooge is a fierce climate-change denier.
Meanwhile, Democrats under-estimate Scott Walker at consider-able peril.

Democrats underestimate Scott Walker
President Obama’s decision to send 450 more American troops to Iraq has put Hillary Clinton in a tough spot. What will she say about the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria?
The answer, beyond a few boilerplate remarks, is nothing.
There is no topic more ra-dioactive in the Clin-tonworld psyche than Iraq. Look for her to avoid taking any clear, decisive position, at least for now.
No, it wouldn’t be hard for Clinton to stand against Re-publicans who have denounced Obama’s move as an ineffective half-measure -- a “duct tape approach,” in the words of Sen. Lindsey Graham. Clinton, or at least her surrogate spokesmen, can accuse them of wanting yet an-other war in Iraq.
It’s Clinton’s fellow Demo-crats who are the problem. On the one hand, the White House presents the new deployment of troops as part of an ongoing “train, advise and assist” mis-sion that will help Iraqis fight the Islamic State without the presence of a large number of U.S. ground troops.
On the other hand, some Democrats are increasingly worried about “mission creep” in Iraq and will not support Obama’s policy.
“I am very concerned about mission creep in Iraq,” Demo-cratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen told MSNBC recently. While Van Hollen said he supports Obama’s air war in Iraq, “Put-ting more U.S. troops on the ground and putting them in harm’s way is something that
would give me grave, grave con-cern.”
“It represents an escalation ... incremental mission creep,” Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern told Politico.
“This won’t be the last de-ployment. It will continue to in-crease.”
Another Democrat, Sen. Chris Murphy, is urging Congress to constrain Obama’s ability to wage war in Iraq. “I support the president’s mis-sion to try to as-sist in the training of the Iraqi forces, but I’d be much more comfortable in supporting that mission if I knew what the limits of if were,” Murphy said
on MSNBC. “Congress has to vote next
week on a prohibition on the large scale deployment of ground troops, so that that creeping number of hundreds-at-a-time doesn’t become a sec-ond Iraq war before we have anything to say about it.”
So where does that leave Clinton? Very, very quiet. “Just remember this about Hillary,” says a Democratic strategist not affiliated with any campaign. “She thinks she’d be finishing her second term in the White House if she’d been right about the war the first time. So she’s not going to wander into this ea-gerly or quickly.”
When Clinton is asked about Iraq -- and that might not be for a while, given her avoidance of the press and unscreened voters -- it’s not hard to imagine her answering that the president is looking at all the intelligence, that he’s making a judgment
based on that intelligence, and that she would have to know more to make an informed judg-ment herself.
That won’t satisfy anyone. But Clinton might well decide that suffering a little bad press would be better than taking a strong position and having it blow up in her face.
“Can she avoid taking a stand? Yes,” says the strategist. “Will it cause her some damage? Yes. Will she do it anyway? Yes.”
Clinton’s Democratic op-ponents won’t be so cautious. Both Bernie Sanders and Mar-tin O’Malley opposed the inva-sion of Iraq back in 2003. They can both say Clinton was wrong then and is wrong now.
The reason Clinton does not have to respond, at least quick-ly, is that she currently enjoys a 47.5-point lead over Sand-ers, and a 56.7-point lead over O’Malley in the RealClearPoli-tics average of national polls. Given the caution her campaign has exhibited so far, there’s no reason to expect her to engage such a dangerous topic with such a comfortable lead.
Anyone who thinks Clinton won’t, or can’t, stay away from the subject should ask this question: What is her position on the giant Pacific trade deal currently being negotiated by the Obama administration, a deal about which many Demo-crats have passionate feelings? She hasn’t said.
“This is not a campaign that is taking any risks,” says the Democratic strategist. “She’ll do nothing for as long as she can get away with it.”

For Hillary, a new Iraq war trap
ASTROGRAPH by Eugenia Last
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Regardless of the topic, there are some people you can’t convince no mat-ter what you say. Don’t beat your head against a wall. Agree to disagree, save your breath and walk away.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Learn to say no. Don’t allow others to take ad-vantage of you, and avoid undue stress and con-flicts. Do what is best for you without feeling guilty.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t go along with what everyone else is do-ing. Stand up for your beliefs. Frustration will result if you don’t make your feelings known. Love is in a high cycle.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be positive. You won’t go wrong if you stick to what you do best. Don’t let criticism or negative com-ments influence your deci-sions. Jealousy is apparent, so protect your reputation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Let your creativ-ity shine. A new enterprise will stimulate your imagi-nation. Keep your views to yourself to avoid an awkward misunderstand-ing. Plan a romantic eve-ning with someone special.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An over-emotional state of mind will lead you to make bad choices. Think twice be-fore you take action. Bide your time until you are in a good position to win.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Avoid ne-glecting the people clos-est to you. Take part in activities with your loved
ones, or hang out and share memories. It is your undivided attention that will make the difference.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take the plunge. Stop spinning your wheels. Don’t wait for someone to come along and take over. The changes that need to be made are up to you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’ve got all the right moves. With your good humor and sense of fun, you will bring joy to everyone you meet. Don’t be afraid to be a little different. Love and romance are encouraged.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get your
personal paperwork in or-der. You may have missed an important detail that could cost you at a later date. An elderly relative will look to you for assistance. Romance is highlighted.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be patient and don’t let anyone or any-thing get to you. Tempers at home will be short, so get out and do things you enjoy with a close friend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t hold yourself back. If you are unhappy with your cur-rent situation, you are best off making a move. The changes you make now will turn your life around.

said. “For the tours we have given, the children pick berries, go on hayrides, have a picnic, and play in the orchard.
We talk about how to pick berries (black ones not red ones), the variety of peaches and the care of the peach trees. Again the age of the group would deter-mine the detail and length of information.
“I think it is important for children to under-stand where their food comes from, and the im-portance of healthy food and the balance of food for the mind, body and soul. For children growing up in the city, coming to the country and finding healthy ways to spend their day outdoors is always exciting.”
As exciting as an evening the orchard with friends, cobbler and ice cream.
