Serving The People Of Tyler County For 84 Years Thursday, March 17, 2011—Vol. 84, No. 11 Inside Story Comptroller Lays Out Options For Budget Writing Panel WWW.TYLERCOUNTYBOOSTER.COM 75¢ Dogwood Festival of the Arts This Weekend! AUSTIN — Tough questions over how the Legislature will address a $4.3 billion state revenue shortfall in fiscal year 2011 and a $27 billion projected revenue shortfall in Texas’ 2012-2013 budget cycle continued last week. On March 3, Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, chair of the budget-writing House Appropriations Committee, invited Comptroller Susan Combs to come forward and present “a clear description of how we arrived at this point, what our current challenges are and how we should address them.” Combs, part of whose job is to ascertain whether the state has Ed Sterling enough funds to pay for expenditures proposed by the Legislature, accepted on short notice. She testified that the Legislature, in facing the current deficit, has three options: deeper budget cuts, delaying spending, and tapping other resources such as the state’s $9 billion Rainy Day Fund, or some combination of those options. But, she said, “I cannot certify new appropriations until the deficit is addressed.” So, it could be inferred, that until the budget crisis is solved or abated, the survival of any legislation that would add to current state fiscal obligations is in doubt. Now, before Combs testified, Pitts said he filed legislaSee Capital Highlights, Page 3A Art Musings..... by Jane Martin As most of you know a few of TCAL artists went to New Mexico and Arizona to paint at Georgia O’Keefe’s Ranch, and the Grand Canyon about two months ago. We returned with paintings and photographs. We had a great time and these Southwest works of art will be displayed at the Art Emporium on March 19th in conjunction with the Dogwood Festival. We shared our pictures with TCAL members so we plan to have many paintings of the Southwest. These works will be for sale. We will have a reception from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm. We cordially invite you to view the works and attend the reception. During the day Saturday the 19th many of our artists will be demonstrating their work on the sidewalk of the Emporium and the Gallery. This is a good place to get bargains. Our spring trip will be at Caddo Lake, we’re sending a scout to find us a really good place to paint. Are We Meeting Your Needs? Cont.

Everyone one of the residence of this one particular small town, came together and saw someone in need. And, one (or even two) at a time, stopped by to see what need they could help fill. From mowing (weed eating and raking), to making sure the dog was fed (bathed and petted) to volunteering their time to drive them to the “Metropolis” Houston Texas Medical Center, for hours long chemo treatments and then turning around the next day to carry them back for a single shot, to bringing food or smiles or an extra prayer. In our darkest hours of his illness they were there, on-point and ready to help in anyway they could. Our saddest moments came before we were all ready for them to…and once again those amazing people of that one particular small town came to our rescue. The phone never stopped ringing with calls from those who shared our grief and sorrow. The front door was never still, for everyone was bringing food; wonderful meals and desserts. Many, many hugs, tears and memories were shared with the many, many people of this one particular small town. In the days that follow we are comforted in knowing that our loved one, who was left behind with a very long row to hoe of sorrow and grieving and coping and learning to live without that solid lifelong companion she shared so many wonderful years with. How, do you ask is it we are able to find comfort in a time like this? Because of the people of this one particular small town, we know that she will continue to have phone calls from those who share her grief. Friends and lifelong neighbors, church brothers and sisters, and those so close we call them family…they continue to stop by, share hugs, share tears, and “all those old stories” that bring back memories and laughter of the times they have shared. They continue to come and will from now on. You see, the people of this one particular small town, they know what’s going on around their town because they care about each other. They are neighbors, friends and most of all, they are family. Good Christian people of which I am honored to have met. Congressman Kevin Brady will be in Tyler County on Friday, March 25 from 10-11 a.m. at the John and Rosemary Bunch Reading Room adjacent to the Allen Shivers Library. He will be be giving a Federal Budget update and answering questions. CELEBRATE DOGWOOD TIME IN TYLER COUNTY!

Pitts pointed out that Capitol Highlights m a n y f e l l o w lawmakers on By the present Appropriations Ed committee also Sterling served on the committee in 2009 when the 2010-2011 budget was drawn up. “In hindsight, it’s worth asking if we all should have anticipated a decline much sooner,” Pitts said. For the record, Pitts said, Texas’ budget troubles stem from a nationwide economic recession and a long series of monthly double-digit declines in sales tax revenue. However, Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, interjected that the state’s $27 billion projected revenue shortfall for 2012-2013 is attributable not only to a nationwide recession, but also to the state’s $11 billion “structural deficit.” The structural deficit is a systemic shortfall grown out of the state’s 2006 school finance reform plan that cut property taxes by billions of dollars. That, coupled with years of less-than-expected revenue from a business-margins tax the Legislature passed to pay for the property tax cut, has widened and deepened the budget hole.

How many years now has that phrase been used to kick off the annual Dogwood Festival here in Tyler County? The festival is a three weekend event that begins this weekend with Festival of the Heritage Village Arts at Heritage Village. And the By title of the festiSandy val is appropriate. Taylor With the warm weather our dogwoods will be in full bloom during most of the Festival. This first weekend of the Dogwood Festival is known as Festival of the Arts. Heritage Village is all cleaned up and will host a fantastic quilt show with many quilts on display. The Sassy Scrappers, our local quilting guild, is coordinating this show. On display are quilts of every size, color, and pattern. Most of the quilts are new but also included are vintage quilts we have in the museum collection and other old quilts. Members of the guild will also be on hand to demonstrate the fine art of quilting and will let you take a turn at making those nice even stitches. The gates will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. for your viewing pleasure. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for children under 12. Plan on coming out for the day and bring all your relatives and friends who may be in town for the Festival. The Train Museum will also be open during the day. Our men have really been working on the building and display to make it very special. Take the time to visit during the day. The annual “Dinner on the Grounds” will be held on the next day, Sunday, March 20th. Tickets will be available at Festival of the Arts in the Gift Shop or you may purchase them from a board member, from Sullivan’s Hardware, Jarrott’s Pharmacy or Mary Bee’s Florist. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. The admission price includes you being able to tour the Village, a great dinner, and entertainment. It is a true bargain. Tickets will also be available at the gate but it would help us with our planning if you would purchase in advance. This event was started about six years ago as a fund-raiser for our operating fund. The dinner is our version of the old-timey potluck dinners with a large variety of everything. We will have brisket, chicken, meatloaf, pork roast, lots of vegetables including cabbage, corn casserole, potato salad, slaw, green beans, pinto beans, and dressing, desserts to die for, and an assortment of beverages. We will begin serving at 11 a.m. and will stop when the food runs out or 2 p.m. which ever comes first. I’m just kidding! We have never run out but we have come close. Come early for the best selection. During the day entertainment will be provided by several groups including James Hale and Priscilla Hale and “Autumn Wind”; Matt Moody; “The Generations” –men from First Baptist Church, Woodville; Josh McClure – singer; Abby Villa Tyler County Booster Serving the people of Tyler County since 1930. 205 W.

March 17, 2011 TYLER COUNTY BOOSTER Page 3A www.easttexasnews.com PROfessions: Passe, the Hitchhiker How long since you’ve seen a hitchhiker, let alone picked one up? On a more personal level, who out there besides me has ever been a hitchhiker? In this plush era of everybody-on-wheels, the very idea of hitchhiking has become a bit disreputable. But it was not ever so. The concept, and the name, go back a ways. The story I heard comes from the aftermath of the War of Secession, when large numbers of soldiers on both sides had the problem of getting home. Some but by no means all had horses. The solution, widely adopted, was to do a buddy system. Two men would pair up; one would mount and ride, while the other walked. After a reasonable time, the rider would hitch the horse and walk ahead. When the first hiker got to where the horse was hitched, he’d mount and ride a while – and so forth. I once had occasion to employ a variation of that technique. My crewman Mac and I were running a Schlumberger perforating truck out of Rock Springs, Wyoming. One day we got a call for a job out of Farmington, New Mexico, over four hundred miles away. They were waiting for us, and nobody else could handle it. But we were tired; we’d just come off another job, and had no chance to sleep. So I started Mac in the perforating truck, and took off in my company station wagon, which was 25 mph faster. After driving for four hours or so, I’d pull over, crawl into my sleeping bag, and get a couple hours’ snooze. When Mac caught up, we’d switch; I drove the truck while he slept in the wagon. Then he’d come after me, whereupon we’d switch again. It worked nicely! Back to hitchhiking, this form of travel was not looked down upon in the 1930’s. Less than half of American families owned cars, and the Depression reduced that proportion even further. My family’s car went by the boards in 1932. Homeless men by the hundred thousands found ways to get around, always looking for that place which offered a job. Many went by freight trains, the hoboes of song and story. But others hitchhiked. Solo drivers such as truckers and traveling salesmen actually preferred to pick up somebody, for company or even to help drive. Crime? You may not believe it, but crime of the sort that discourages picking up strangers today just did not exist back then. It may have been that most people didn’t have much to be stolen, but whatever, folks routinely left their houses and cars unlocked. I never had a lock for my bike, and nobody stole it. Hitchhiking was one of the areas where people could share what they had with those less fortunate, and we did it a lot. College students tended to be frequent hitchhikers. During the Professions summer after high school, I By was encourDavid aged by my Rust teachers to take some college courses at Louisiana Polytechnic Institute, now Louisiana Tech University. It was twenty miles away, in Ruston, and of course we did not have a car. There was a crude bus service, but it never fit my schedule, so my buddy and I did a good bit of hitchhiking. Some days it was slow, but most of the time we got home well ahead of the bus. That winter I was enrolled at the Northeast Louisiana Junior College, now LSU/Monroe. One sunny day in December, my pal Jimmy LeBlanc and I went out to the college to play tennis, We played a couple hours and started home. Knowing the bus service was sparse on Sunday, we tried our thumbs. To our delight we were picked up quite soon, by a soldier in uniform. He sort of casually mentioned that our naval base in Hawaii had been attacked by the Japanese, and our battleship fleet destroyed. He had been recalled to duty, and was on his way. Jimmy and I received the news more equably than you might have expected. We knew we were on the line to get called up, but we had been expecting something of this nature for years. We firmly believed that the U.S. needed to be actively opposing the aggression in Europe and China, and we felt nothing so much as great relief that we were being forced into it. We didn’t yet know whether the Pacific situation would involve us in Europe, but within a couple of days the other shoe fell: we were at war with Germany and Italy as well as Japan. Both Jimmy and I had long been dreaming of becoming pilots, and taking the air war to the enemy. We both succeeded in doing that, and by God’s grace lived to tell about it! Shalom… What’s So Appealing About Texas Outlaws Can you name more Texas governors or more Texas outlaws? Yeah, I know, some people consider that a redundancy. Texas has had more famous bad guys than any other state except perhaps New York and Illinois, particularly Chicago. That may be because sometime in our Lone Star history, outlawry was regarded as necessary and sort of acceptable. Couple that with headlines the more famous black-hat-guys drew and you can see why some might think Texans have misplaced values. Two particular periods in our history seemed to spawn most of the “admired” outlaws and, thus, more headlines — the times immediately following the Civil War and after the Great Depression of the 1930s. Difficult periods such as those spawn hardship and desperation to produce even a meager existence. Historical references to Texas outlaws make some seem like folk heroes. Any number of movies have been made with some reference to at least one outlaw mentioned here. Occasionally, some described as outlaws crossed over from the “dark side” and became lawmen. Often, some peace officers of Texas’ old west, even those who spent their entire lives on the side of the law, were as tough and mean as the outlaws they pursued. “Texas John” Slaughter, a Civil War veteran, served as a Texas Ranger but ultimately moved to Arizona where he became a sheriff. Described as “the meanest good guy who ever lived,” lawman Slaughter cleaned up theArizona territory. Most Texas outlaws, however, fol- lowed the crooked trail strictly and their outrageous deeds made for newspaper headlines and pulp publishing. A number were not native to this state, but migrated here. Some native outlaws imported their crimes to other states. Many met a fateful end. William “Curly Bill” Brocius (sometimes spelled Brocious) was known in the Lone Star State as Curly Bill Bresnaham. He was a member of the famous outlaw gang in Tombstone, The Cowboys, who ravaged southern Arizona. Texas’ most deadly gunman was John Wesley Hardin, named by his family for the historic Methodist preacher. Hardin killed more than 30 people. He spent 18 years in prison and, not long after his release, was shot and killed Aug. 19, 1895. One of the state’s most notorious 19th Century bad guys was Sam Bass, who was born in Indiana in 1851. He was orphaned before he was 13 and ran away to Mississippi and worked as a laborer before moving to Texas in 1870. Bass’ livelihood here was cattle and ranching oriented. Ultimately, he and a group of men gathered a herd of cattle (on credit, the books said) and took them north to sell. Upon collecting a large amount of money, Bass gambled his “fortune” away and took up robbing stagecoaches. Bass returned to Texas and formed a gang. In a robbery attempt in Round Rock, Bass was wounded and died two days later on his 27th birthday. “Bandit Queen” Belle Starr, nee Myra Maybelle Shirley Reed Starr, was born in Missouri in 1848 but she and her family moved to Scyene, Texas in 1864 “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for redress of grievances.” -- First Amendment of U.S. Constitution.

She became associated with Missouriborn outlaws, the James brothers and the Youngers. Belle had a reputation of being a crack shot and could shoot well even when riding side-saddle. Perhaps the most famous and notorious of all Texas outlaws were Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who robbed banks and killed people in the early 1930s. They were killed by Texas Ranger Frank Hamer on May 23, 1934, in a shootout. So famous was this duo, they were known simply by their first names, tied together of course: Bonnie and Clyde. They tried to promote themselves as plain poor folks robbing the rich, but their propensity to kill those who stood in their way, shot down that image. Any inclination one might have to look at any of these Texas outlaws as other than what they were can be easily dispelled with some research. Now, for the test: Who’s Texas’ governor?

Every year Jewish people around the world celebrate the Passover to remember how God delivered their ancestors when they were slaves in Egypt. The heart of the Passover festivities is the Seder meal when lamb is eaten and participants tell the story of how their ancestors painted lamb’s blood on their doorframes. Wherever the angel of death saw blood around a door, it passed over without killing the firstborn within. Jesus is God’s final and greatest Passover Lamb. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, God’s wrath and judgment against our sin passes over us forever! This Lent we are going to get ready for the Easter “feast” by exploring how the various elements of the Passover meal (Seder) point to Jesus and explain what He has done for all People. Our special midweek Lenten liturgies will include parts of the actual Passover Seder meal. We will even get to taste the various foods used. Plan to join us every week! All services begin at 7pm.

Journey Into Fullness by Keith Bellamy by Gloria Russell Messed UP True, genuine natural pearls are nearly impossible to find today—mostly extinct. If one of quality could be found it would be priceless. History records that Julius Caesar invaded Brittan to obtain natural Scottish pearls for his collection. Another historian wrote at the height of the Roman Empire a Roman general financed an entire military campaign by selling one of his mother’s pearl earrings. For centuries pearl diving was done manually by attaching a cord to the diver’s waist. Oysters were brought up from the ocean floor by the tons and checked individually for pearls. Out of a haul of three tons only three or four oysters produced perfect pearls. When Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables He told a brief story from everyday life to make spiritual truths clearer and easy to remember. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it.” Matthew 13: 45, 46 Men and women are still searching for treasure—whether great wealth, higher education, recognition or fame in this world. Having found what the world considers of great value leaves one empty inside with a realization they have purchased counterfeit pearls. Jesus Christ is the Pearl of great price—a jewel of such inestimable value that it cannot be properly measured or appreciated. Anyone who will seek true riches will find Jesus is the answer to eternal spiritual wealth. This Pearl is worth anything and anyone you have to leave behind to follow Him. Whatever stands in opposition to Christ or in competition for your love or service to His Kingdom is not worth holding on to. Are you searching for something of value today? Sell out—sell all and buy this Pearl of Great Price. His name is Jesus! Aline Baptist will celebrate their 98th annual Home Coming March 20.

For The Chemically Dependent A Christian program that brings new hope and direction to the chemically dependent and their families. Woodville United Pentecostal Church’s Christian based Substance Abuse Program has entered its fourth year of ministry. There are many success stories of the 20 lesson program which covers topics such as “Coping With the Problems of Life”, “Building Self Esteem”, “Firm Steps Toward Financial Freedom”, “Parenting”, and “What Alcohol and Drugs do to the Family”. Together with accountability and incentive, this ministry is a great help to those who are struggling with the “Hardships of Life” that sometimes cause them to turn to substance abuse. One doesn’t have to be an “addict” for the rest of their life. God wants people to be free, and He is using Woodville UPC to help them realize that freedom. If you or someone you know has a dependence on drugs or alcohol, please call 409283-2049 to get help right away and begin life with Freedom. A friend said to me that we live in a messed up world. I think he is right! Because of budget cut backs our elected officials in Austin are trying to solve the budget woes. And so the Texas Prison Chaplaincy is in the line of fire to be eliminated from the prison system. Many don’t have the slightest notion as to what a prison chaplain does. Many don’t care. Several years ago when there were budget cut backs a notorious individual who was on death row, was turned loose to murder again. Several more women were murdered before he was caught. A number of years ago the attitude was to lock the criminal up and throw the key away. Those who were saying that may have never worked with prisoners. I am a volunteer chaplain at the Gib Lewis Prison. I have been involved with ex-offenders and prisoners for over 30 years. Some of those we have worked with made a change in their lives and no longer live a life of crime. Many of these individuals have become productive citizens once again. And then there are those who go back to prison. Many of these come from messed up families. Many are on drugs of one kind or another. Sometimes the entire family is in prison. While these people are incarcerated, they receive notices that their loved one has died or is suffering from a dreaded illness. Usually prisoners cannot go to the funeral or attend to their sick loved one. So, how would you propose to convey the bad news to the prisoner? You, see the chaplain must minister to the down and out. The chaplain crosses every religious barrier and, if that chaplain is a follower of Christ, the chaplain will try to treat the inmate like Jesus would treat them. I don’t know of many families who have not had to deal with the problem of substance abuse. It is a terrible burden and sadly some families enable their loved one to further abuse. Messed up? Matthew 25:44, 45 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ “He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.”’ True Vine Pastor Appreciation Service Trinity Assembly of God Revival Services March 11-20 The members of True Vine Missionary Baptist Church of Doucette, Texas will be celebrating their Pastor and Wife 12th Appreciation Service on Sunday, March 20, at 3 p.m. Guest speaker Trinity Assembly of God in Woodville, Texas, will be in Revival Friday, March 18 is Rev.

The Warriors’ starter Chase Gray allowed to Deweyville an unearned run in the top of the first before the Warriors came to bat. Warren gave Gray the lead when Kolton Perfect, Josh Latham and Reece Gray strung hits together for a 2-1 advantage. Gray then danced out of a jam in the second before allowing Deweyville two runs in the third and trailing 3-2 as Warren came to bat. Warren sent ten hitters to the plate and brought four of them home to lead 7-3 after three innings. The big hit of the third came off the bat of Chase Foxworth who stroked the first pitch he saw into the right centerfield gap for a two run triple. Gray and relief pitcher, Dylan Watts, could not hold the lead as Deweyville scored one in the fifth and two in the sixth to tie the game at seven all. Watts retired the final six Pirate hitters before Foxworth’s dramatic hit in the eighth to send the hometown fans home happy. Latham who had three of the Warriors’ twelve hits led off with a single. Reece Gray followed with a single to right and an intentional walk to Watts loaded the bases. Foxworth then delivered a 1-1 pitch into right field for the game winning hit.

After allowing a first inning run, Lilley held the Lady Hornets to just three hits over the final six innings with only runner advancing as far as second. Trailing 1-0 entering the bot- tom of the first, the Lady Eagles quickly rebounded to tie the game. With two outs, Jessica Bronstad reached on a fielding error and Lilley drove her home with a single into left field. In the third inning, the Lady Eagles sent nine batters to the plate and delivered three of them across the plate.. Once again, Lilley made the Lady Hornets pay for sloppy fielding.

Lilley would later score on a bases loaded walk to Morgan Hammonds giving Woodville its Photo by Ben Newman 4-1 win.

Deweyville would not be denied and in the sixth they strung together four hits and two runs off Kelley who was pitching in relief of Kacy Priddy. In the seventh, Deweyville added two more runs when with two outs, they put together a walk and three hits to build an 8-4 lead. It would be all Deweyville’s star pitcher, Kasey Spears would need as she shut down the Lady Warriors 1-2-3 in the final frame. Brenna Johnson led the hitting attack with two doubles. Kacy Priddy pitched the first two innings against the Lady Pirates surrendering just two hits. The Lady Warriors rebounded with a 14 run attack on Friday night defeating the Buna Lady Cougars 14-3.

This year The Firefighter of the Year was Ms. Jamie Carroll, Jamie has been with the department several years and has always answered the call and is a big help at fire scenes doing such things as helping hook up hoses, roll hoses, direct traffic and other things that are always needed. The Officer of the Year was Captain James Harman. We do not have enough room here to name all the ways James has been instrumental in the operation of the Ivanhoe VFD at fires and around the station.

A husband and wife brought in a box of old jewelry, wrist watches, coins and 2 German daggers from WWII and left $785.00 richer. This is cool that something like this would come here to our town.

An estimated $200,000 in Livingston. By David Morgan STAFF WRITER The first days of the 5 day reclamation drive in Livingston were a hit with those looking to sell their gold and silver coins. An estimated 55 people left the event with over $200 from old class rings, wedding bands, herringbones and gold teeth. Coins dated 1964 and earlier were bringing big premiums as well. Silver dollars, halves and quarters arrived in large quantities. Lots of gold coins were also brought in. On the other side of the room were representatives from the Antique Association. They were purchasing all ITEMS WE WILL ACCEPT INCLUDE: Scrap Jewelry types of guitars, large currency bills dated before 1923, military items and pocket watches.

It is free and the public is encouraged to attend. ����������������� WHO: Ohio Valley Refinery Reclamation Drive WHAT: Open to the public to sell their gold and silver WHEN: March 15th - 19th Dental Gold Above: Refinery representatives will be on hand through Saturday to purchase all gold, silver and platinum items, as well as coins. Public welcome! SILVER AND GOLD COIN PRICES UP DURING POOR ECONOMY. Collectors and Enthusiasts in Livingston with $200,000 to Purchase Yours! By Ken McIntosh STAFF WRITER Got Coin? It might be just the time to cash in. This week, starting Tuesday and continuing through Saturday, the International Collectors Association in conjunction with the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. The better the grade the more they are worth, according to collectors I talked to. With the silver and gold markets high, prices of older coins are too. Any coins minted before 1965 in the U.S. are 90% silver, except nickels and pennies. The coin’s worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now, even well worn heavily circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy half dollars, Washington quarters, Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times the face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now, according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. “This country didn’t start minting coins until 1792” says Eades. He explained, “Before that, people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some Sterling Silverware Tea Sets WHERE: Holiday Inn Express 120 South Point Lane Livingston, TX 77351 Directions: 936.327.9600 Silver Dollars TIMES: Sterling Silver All Pre-1965 Coins shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform system of making change.” The government opened the first mints and began distributing the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th century, coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933 Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold, the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However, gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. But not all gold coins were turned in. “Many folks during that time didn’t completely trust the government and chose to keep their gold” said Eades. These gold coins are sought after by collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchased including foreign coins, Indian cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few. Collectors warn people against trying to clean their coins, as significant damage can be done and the coin’s value lessened.

WQ0010322001APPLICATION. City of Woodville, 400 West Bluff Street, Woodville, Texas 75979, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to renew Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0010322001 (EPA I.D. No. TX0025828) to authorize the discharge of treated wastewater at a volume not to exceed an annual average flow of 1,600,000 gallons per day. The domestic wastewater treatment facility is located at 320 Veterans Way, approximately 1,000 feet east of U.S. Highway 69 and 3,000 feet south of U.S. Highway 190, in Woodville, Tyler County, Texas 75979. The discharge route is from the plant site to Turkey Creek; thence to Village Creek. TCEQ received this application on January 25, 2011. The permit application is available for viewing and copying at Woodville City Hall, 113 North Charlton Street, Woodville, Texas. ADDITIONAL NOTICE. TCEQ’s Executive Director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting public comments. PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments, and the Executive Director’s decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/ activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; and, the statement M[I/we] request a contested case hearing/’ If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission will only grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised in timely filed comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (l) the pennanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
