"Most Wanted"
Sweep cleans up town
Making plans for district
By DANNY LEWIS
The season is half over. On the
other hand, it has just begun.
District play begins this Friday
night for teams in 16-AAAA and
each team starts with a clean
slate. That includes the Lindale
Eagles, who have dropped 3 in a
row to fall to a predistrict record
of 2-3. Except for some good
warmup, those games do not fig-
ure in deciding who advances.
Just two years ago, in a district
very similarto the one the Eagles
are in now, the Chapel Hill Bull
dogs lost 4 games before ad-
vancing to the playoffs and even-
tually winning state. The Eagles
have that same opportunity.
Many times a tough district
will have competition for the dis-
trict crown go down to the wire.
For the Eagles, the true tests come
early as the Eagles host Carthage
and travel to Henderson. If
Lindale manages to win one or
both of these games as they are
capable of doing, then they have
a pretty good shot at a playoff
spot.
Make no mistake, Lindale is
expected by most to finish third
behind both Carthage and
Henderson. Carthage performed
well in a win over Gladewater,
while crushing Daingerfield and
Mt. Pleasant. Henderson, how-
ever, has uncharacteristically lost
2 games already this season.
Even so, no one is counting the
Lions out.
Don’t count the Eagles out ei-

hension of numerous known
criminals that have been mas-
querading as some of the
community’s more prominent
citizens. Joe “Shifty Eyes”Terry,
Mary Ann “Lamie Pie”
McClenny, Mark “Ice Man”
Hatfield, Barham “Baby Face”
Fulmer, and Rack “The Doctor”
Tindel are this week’s “Most
Wanted”. On October 23 and 24
they will be joined by others who
have volunteered to become a
Most Wanted as part of the
American Cancer Society’s Jail-
a-Thon in Lindale.
Arresting officers will arrive
at the homes and offices of the
Most Wanted during the two-
day event and bring them to the
jail, which will be located at
Brookshire’s.
United Celluar Phone will pro-
vide phones so that friends, rela-
tives, and even some enemies of
the desperadoes can be contacted
to bring down bail money in an
effort to fight cancer. Bails of
$500 have already been placed
on those landing on the Most
Wanted list.
Other community leaders will
be assisting the project by acting
as jailors and judges. There will

also be numerous unexpected
arrests made during the two-day
event. Warrants are already be-
ing prepared with notable names
heading the list.
For a small donation, citizens
can request someone be arrested
and brought before the judges,
where they will be sentenced and
bail set. While doing their time
behind bars, the prisoners will
have a chance to call acquaintan-
ces and raise their bail money for
the Cancer Society.
Area coordinators of the event
are Wyvonne Smith and Carolyn
Summerville. Ruth Nixon is co-
ordinating the event for the Can-
cer Society.
The event is shaping up to be
fun for the entire community
while very worthwhile in efforts
to raise funding for cancer re-
search, patient services and life-

From Precinct 4 to 3
BY BETTY FARMER
A massive sweep of the streets
of Lindale has led to the appre-
"LAMIE PIE” McCLENNY
We're redistricting again?
Breakdown of Proposed Precincts
Precinct 1 (southwest): population 37,821 with
10.76 percent minority
Precinct 2 (southeast): population 38,747 with
10.27 percent minority
Precinct 3 (northeast): population 38,880 with
20.11 percent minority
Precinct 4 (northwest): population 35,861 with
69.80 percent minority
A new redistricting plan was
adopted Monday in Tyler at
Commissioners’ Court that
would put Lindale and Hide-A-
Way Lake in another precinct,
moving from Precinct 4 to 3.
The plan was approved by a 3-1
vote but still must be validated
by the U.S. Department of Jus-
tice. Commissioner Andrew
Melontree was the dissenting
voter, one who has repeatedly
opposed the commissioners’ re-
districting plan, according to the
Tyler Morning Telegraph of
Tuesday, October 8, 1991, be-
cause it did not exclude two pre-
dominately white voting boxes—
Mt. Sylvan and New Harmony—
from his precinct.
In a letter to the court, county
redistricting consultant Steve
Bickerstaff of Austin said the
necessary adjustments to com-
missioners’ precincts included
moving voting districts 43 and
36 from Precinct 1 and voting
district 20 from Precinct 3 to
Precinct 4, which will increase
the black and Hispanic popula-
tions of that precinct by about
2,176 people.
Commissioner Roy Stanley
currently holds the post for Pre-
cinct 3.
Once the Justice Department
receives the county-approved
redistricting plans, it has 60 days
either to approve them or request
new proposals. The changes will
not affect this coming Novem-
ber election.
“Hopefully everything will be
done by the March primaries,”
stated County Clerk Mary
Morris.
