The city of Gainesville saw another month of increase
sales tax collections and draws closer to matching last
year’s total.
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced last week
that he will send cities, counties, transit systems and spe-
cial purpose taxing districts $660.4 million in local sales tax
allocations for October, 1.6 percent more than in October
2016. These allocations are based on sales made in August
by businesses that report tax monthly.
According to the Comptroller’s office, the city’s share of

North Texas Medical Center volunteer Shirley
Wooldridge said she can’t stress the importance
of knowing your body and making it a point to
get regular mammograms enough.
“I have two granddaughters and, when they
were teenagers, I had these things that would
hang in their shower to remind them to examine
themselves,” she said. “Every time they moved I
would bring new ones to put up there.”

A Cooke County jury sentenced a 41-year-old man
to 10 years in prison this week after finding him
guilty of tampering with physical evidence.
William Anthony Hess, of Muenster, stood trial
before 235th District Court Judge Janelle Haverkamp
for the tampering charge which stems from an inci-
dent on June 11, 2016, according to a news release
from the Cooke County District Attorney’s Office.
Hess was driving on Farm-
to-Market Road 373 north of
Muenster with an invalid driver’s
license when a deputy with the
Cooke County Sheriff’s Office
attempted to pull him over.
Officials said Hess evaded
arrest by speeding up and
quickly turning on a dirt path.
Once on the path, he opened the
driver’s side door, kicked out
a methamphetamine pipe and
attempted to kick out a syringe containing a dark
brown substance.
The dash camera on the deputy’s patrol car
recorded Hess’ actions, according to the release.
Tampering with physical evidence is a third-
degree felony offense. According to the DA’s Office,

self-examination.
Since then, Wooldridge started scheduling
regular mammograms. In 2012, a mammogram
found cancer in her right breast, and she had a
second mastectomy.
“It’s so important to get mammograms,”
Wooldridge said.
Some women fear mammograms because they
think they are too painful, Wooldridge said.
“If they think it’s painful, it’s not as painful as
going through the surgery and the treatments,”
she said. “We have a wonderful mammogram
machine, and I encourage people (to get theirs).”
