County News

participated in the funeral of
Freddie Dodson.

Now is time to get your camera
ready to take pictures for the
Exhibits at Fiesta de La Paloma
coming up this fall on October 6.
There are many subject cate-
gories in the photography depart-
ment open to both youth and
adults. These include animals,
still life, landscape, people, all
media and the theme division of
doors and insects. Photos do not
have to be taken in Coleman
County.
Get your list of rules and regu-
lations now at the county Agri-
Life Extension office in the court-
house. The photography depart-
ment is one of 6 Exhibit depart-
ments which are sponsored by
the TEEA clubs of Coleman
County. These will be set up,
judged and displayed in the Bill
Franklin Center during the Fiesta
de la Paloma October 6th.
burgers and hotdogs that were
cooking on the grill outside,
and what kind of surprises
might be hidden in the tote
will be accepted.

Toby and Jeaninne Terry are
pleased to announce the
engagement and upcoming
marriage of their daughter,
Laken Diane Terry, to Richard
Perry Middleton. Perry is the
son of Jeral and Kathy
Middleton of Hawley, TX and
David and Deborah Henry of
/
the maintenance crew and the
housekeepers. In the back of
their minds, however, there
I did notice that whenever I lurked the promise of the ham-
sat down on a hard surface, I
would hurt and shift from one
side to the other, and when I
would get up, the pain was
bad. It would take a while to
walk straight, and when I would
sit in the car, whether I was
driving or as a passenger I
would hurt. As the pain got
worse, I decided that I would
go see our local chiropractor. I
had never had to use their
services before. If it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it, right? Some
folks are afraid of chiroprac-
tors, because they think they
will hurt you instead of helping.
Myself, I am not afraid of doc-
tors, I am afraid of their costs!
I made an appointment, kept
it and as you know you have to
fill all these papers and such,
where the pain is and for how
long...? As I have said before,
I do not know how long this
was, but I was in bad shape. It
would hurt to walk, so when
Sandra checked me out, I was
in bad out of shape, so she did
this, that, and the other. It was
not without a groan or moan
here and there, but I took it all
and was told to come back if I
needed to...The treatment
worked. I would go and use
the spinulator once a week
when I was in town. If you
have never laid down on that
table, you are missing a relax-
ing treatment. It feels so good
and it makes you feel much
better. It helped me.
I went two or more times to
get some more back alignment
treatments and it helped me for
a while. I continued to work
every day and got by pretty
good. Of course, at night I
would get on my bed and lay
on an ice pack or heating pad,
from one to the other. Later
when I had to deal with my
cancer I was able to rest a
while and when the radiation
treatments started, I would lay
on the table and when I would
get up it took a minute or two to
walk, but I made it through that
too. I went back to work and
soon the pain started again...

Current County Road and
= Bridge Fees for 2013
By Christine Flynn
No changes were made to
the County Road and Bridge
Fees for the 2013 calendar
year. Coleman County fees are
comparable to other counties
in the state. Fees are acquired
for the upkeep of county roads
and bridges and possibly fund
long-term transportation proj-
ects as well as prevention pro-
grams in the County. The
Coleman County Commission-
- • ■ ers’ Court met Monday (July
23) morning to authorize no
additional fees or changes to
be made next year.
The Court also discussed
weather conditions in regards
to the burn ban. They agreed it
was best to leave the burn ban
on until further notice.
Judge Joe Watson then
brought the appointment of
Manual Salazar, Jr. to the
board of The Center of Life
Resources Center to the atten-
tion of the Commissioners. As

Hi Guys,
As I look across the highway I
see the sage in full bloom, and
on Saturday, we had a small
shower come by and stop over
the house and stayed for ten
minutes or so, then left...So I
guess the sage know when it is
going to rain, even though it
may be for a bit. Mine is not
quite in bloom but it is getting
there. It was so still on
Saturday, that not a leaf was
moving, and hot as an oven.
The shower dropped the temp
down a few degrees.
This Sunday, the Voss Baptist
Church is having the Fifth
Sunday Singing at six p.m.,
afterwards, a bar-b-que meal is
being catered by a gentleman
from Paint Rock. We invite all
who love good music.
On Tuesday evening I met
with other folks of the Coleman
County Historical Commission
in town. Plans were made to
have a special speaker or two
for our September meeting. It
should be an interesting pro-
gram, so more will be released
next month.
On Wednesday I had a day off
for a change, so I talked to my
sister, Judy, to see if by chance
she would be off that day also.
To my surprise, she said yes.
I picked her up at nine-thirty
and went to Bealls in
Brownwood. We spent an hour
there and found some things
we could use. It is cool, so it
was pleasant in there. We then
went over to the other side of
Commerce Square and to the
China Palace. It is a very pop-
ular place to eat because it has
a lot of healthy food to choose
from the many buffets. We ate
and enjoyed the visit with each
other. When we arrived, there
were not many people there,
but as it got closer to the noon
hour, it was filling up.
Afterwards, we went to the mall
and wandered around at the
Bath & Body Works, found
some nice smelling stuff, and
then it was about show time...We
deposited our stuff in the car and
went inside the cool theatre,
where we and about fifty or more
folks enjoyed the movie “Ice
Age”. It is a cute show, that part
squirrel sure did create a mess
looking for that acorn...It was so
funny to watch him or it, he
makes the movie by not saying
a word. At the end of the
movie, he is still chasing that
acorn...
I feel sad for the people who
lost their lives at the theatre in
Colorado while they were
going to enjoy a movie...there
used to be a saying back in our
school days... “All of the mon-
keys ain’t in the zoo...”
Regardless, Judy and I had a
wonderful day together and
really it ended too soon.
I did not make the REA meet-
ing on Friday, but it was good
to know that our church and
other churches won a prize...
On Sunday, we had James
Kiser of Paint Rock to do some
student practice preaching for
us. When I arrived, we had a
church full, or it seemed
because they were every-
where, visiting and all seemed
to enjoy being there. I ended
up in a different location than
my regular sitting place as did
Richard, but we did not com-
plain. We were glad to have
them...our Women’s Sunday
School Class had ten, and all
took part in the class. For
being the first time, James did
good. Talk was that they may
come on Sunday for the
singing. That is cool, too. I left
and the folks were still visiting.
That’s great.
