CHEERS for the Coleman Community Coalition Board, which members thereof on Tuesday of last week voted to ask the Coleman City Council to include their type 4-B developmental mission
and resource needs into the planning of a study now granted by the Texas Department of Agriculture, the goal of which is to provision our community with a developmental and maintenance plan
for approximately the next 10 years. The meeting was chaired by President, Joe Haynes, and organized by the Coalition’s and the Economic Development Corporation’s Executive Director, Kim
Little. Perhaps the primary topic of interest on a city budget agenda that was circulated at the meeting was that a large funding is proposed to be spent on deciding how the city is to conduct
“Electric Services” business in the future, either in the near future, or, after the present contract has run its course.
It is now up to us locally to make-up and speak-up our minds and communicate our thoughts to each other and to our local leaders and to the Council and the Boards, for the solution to having
the very best electrical rates available rests solely with us. We will all be living with the results for a very long time to come and having competitive electricity costs is practically the most com-
pelling economic business development and maintenance, and community quality-of-life issue conducive to viability in the modem municipality.
This is a fine chapter, folks, (in the “electrical system normalization” process), but it is going to be a tough one all around to accomplish (many angles and interests to be balanced)
.so help your neighbors understand and remember that we want to feel good about the final arrangements as well as see them be a great boon to our economic futures.
KUDOS & THANKS to all the Fire, Police, Sheriff, First Responders, EMT and school personnel that conducted the mock wreck exercise at the high school. It is obvious that the most care
was taken to emphasize the point taken. Don't forget though, Texting can also cause accidents and take lives.
CHEERS to all who participated in the creation and evolution of the “Cactus Wren” for the 2015 Prickly Pear Festival, October 24. Fine Arts League Painters include: Bill Shields, Ruth Ann
Taylor, Kathy Andrews, Lois McCarty, Kay Mitchell, Bob & Bitsy Murchison, B. B. Nunley and Marian Johnson. Host-Businesses: Chamber of Commerce, Coleman Library, Coleman Co. State
Bank, InterBank Coleman, Uncommon Goods (Charlotte Purl), Bonneville (Bonnie West Hennig,) and Rancho Pizzeria for the Auction. And finally to the purchaser of the 4x5’ painting of the
Wren, Mr. Richard Hart! Thanks to all. Looking forward to 2016 Festival!! Marian Johnson, Publicity, Fine Arts League of Coleman Co., Inc.
CHEERS - During a recent misplacement or loss of handbag and the following panic, fortunately, a local kind and honest man by the name of Ricky Payne (or Paine - not sure of the spelling)
found the bag and returned it to me. Praise and thanksgiving to him! (He refused to be rewarded.)

AND.....................Cheers to the members of the Coleman City Council, the Mayor, and the City Administrator, Mr. Catoe, who on the following Thursday, saw the Council authorize the sub-
mission of the city’s plan for implementation to the Department of Agriculture with the amendment, or provision, that the community developmental organizations (Both 4-B and 4-A types) will

status that Texas municipalities ordinarily enjoy.

in the first place, resulting in this grant being made available for us to use in this time of urgent need.
