National Service Recognition Day
By Jim Butler
Owner/Publisher
The Cooper City Council
declared April 9, 2013 as
National Service Recognition
Day honoring Pat Waters,
Betty Slakey, Barbara
Calvin, Shirley Smith and
Ruth Wigley for their many
years of service. Unanimous
approval was given by the
Council in the Cooper City
Council meeting on Monday.
The oath of office was
administered by City
Attorney Jay Garret to Scotty
Stegall, E. J. Cates and Carl
Reel. They all retain their
Council positions since they
were unopposed and the City
election has been canceled.
In a public hearing, approval
was given to allow the City to
demolish property located at
520 E. Waco and place a lien
on the property for demolition
costs incurred by the City.
Nancy Culver spoke before
the Council about stray dogs
in her neighborhood asking
that something be done to
eliminate the problem. She
presented photos of several
stray dogs and told the Council
about packs of dogs killing
her neighbor’s chickens and
attacking people who walk and
ride bicycles. City Attorney
Garrett said that an ordinance
is already in force to control
stray animals within the City.
Mayor Stegall agreed to talk
to Sheriff Ricky Smith about
more stringent enforcement
of animal ordinance since
the Delta County Sheriff’s
Department handles City law
enforcement.
Charlie Steward came to
the Council asking about
enforcement of gaming
machines located at several
businesses within the City.
City Attorney Jay Garrett said
that gaming is regulated by
the State and he will check to
see if more strict ordinances
can be imposed by the City.
A motion was approved to
table the matter until Garrett
reports his findings.
Steward also asked the
council to reinstate the boat
permit fee at Big Creek Lake
to help provide funds to better
maintain the lake. A motion
was approved to table a
decision until Mayor Stegall
can determine if an ordinance
is still on the books.
City Council Members
quickly named Mayor
Stegall as Chairman of the
City Industrial Development
Corporation since Bobby Irvin
has asked to be replaced.
The next Cooper City
Council meeting is scheduled
for Monday, May 13, 2013 at
6 p.m. at City Hall.
PARIS CARDIOLOGY CENTER
Khalid Shafiq MD., PA, F.A.C.C, I.S.C.A.I.
Listening to your heart ♦♦♦ Listening to you♦
Dr. Khalid Shafiq is the only triple board certified cardiologist in Paris, Texas who
performs the following rare and cutting edge procedures at PRMC. These
procedures are performed only at highly specialized hospitals in the U.S.A.
90 Abdominal Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR):
Is a minimally invasive alternative to major open surgery for the repair of
abdominal aortic aneurysms. The AAA Stent Graft is inserted into the
aneurysm through a small incisions in the groin and without surgically
opening or removing part of the aorta, thereby offering an alternative
treatment choice to open surgery.
90 Complete Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Intervention Services:
For certain people, heart disease treatment can be achieved with Angioplasty and
stent placement. Angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure that can be used to open
blocked heart arteries. First a Cardiac Catheterization is performed 18 a part of
Angioplasty. This whole process of complete Cardiac Cath Services is preformed
in a cath lab by Dr. Shafiq and a team of Cardiovascular nurses and technicians.
Dr. Shafiq utilizes state-of-the-art technologies such as IVUS, FFR and Stent
placement with the latest drug eluting Stents to open up blocked arteries.
Dr. Shafiq is now offering Transradial Catheterization procedures at PRMC.
90 Complete 64-Slice CT Services:
In partnership with Virtual Radiologic (VRAD) Paris Cardiology Center is now
offering complete 64-Slice C.T. services at it’s location,
1775 FM 195, Paris, Texas, 75462
90 Peripheral Arterial Disease:
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries supplying
your arms and/or legs that causes poor blood flow to these areas. If you have severe
PAD, tissues in your leg or foot may die because they do not get enough blood flow.
Also, patients with severe PAD are more at risk to develop chronic sores or ulcers if
they injure their foot or leg in some way. If this happens and the injury does not heal,
part of the foot or leg could have to be removed (amputated). If you have blockages
in these areas, this increases your risk of heart attack or stroke.
90 Carotid Artery Stenting:
The carotid arteries are the arteries in your neck that supply the head and brain with
blood. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a procedure in which a physician inserts a
slender, expanding tube, called a stent inside your artery to increase blood flow in
areas blocked by plaque. These symptoms include - dizziness, weakness, slurred
speech, periodic loss of sight in one or both eyes, and numbness.
V Bi-Ventricular Defibrillator and Pacemaker:
Is used to treat the delay in heart ventricle contractions that occur in some people
with advanced heart failure. The Bi-ventricular pacemaker or the CRT pacing
device is an electronic, battery-powered device that is surgically implanted
through a vein by Dr. Shafiq in the right atrium and right ventricle and into the
coronary sinus vein to pace the left ventricle.
90 Turbo Hawk Atherectomy:
The system consists of a catheter with a mounted blade which is activated by
a switch on the handle, plaques are excised by rotating
90 IVC Filter Placement:
In an inferior vena cava filter placed procedure, uses image guidance to place a filter in
the interior vene cava (IVC). Blood clots that develop in the veins of the leg or pelvis, a
condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), occasionally break up and large pieces of
the clot can travel to the lungs. An IVC filter traps large clog fragments and prevents
them from traveling through the vene cava.
90 Impella 2.5 Cardiac Assist:
The Impella 2.5 is ideal for patients with decreased heart pumping function and who need
revascularizatoin - the opening of blood vessels to the heart. Most of these patients are considered
high risk for open heart surgery or may not even be candidates for open heart surgery.

Roebuck Lake
If you drive into Oklahoma along 271 a
few miles north of Red River you notice a sign
pointing left to Roebuck Lake. In the Fifties
that was one of the fishing spots where Grandpa
Tank Trapp of Cooper would take cousins Carl
Jr. McMillan, Pete Kennemer, and me. At a res-
taurant recently near Hugo I talked to a local
guy named Ronald Ainsworth and when he told
me where he lived I asked if he knew the Edge
Family from the same area. They had been to
Charleston this past fall and harvested pecans.
After we talked a while he pointed across the
room and said, “There’s a guy named Edge right
there.” I moved over to talk with the feller and
it was Doyle Edge who was related to the rest
of the Edge Family. Somehow the talk drifted
to hog hunting and he said his friend owned the
nearby Roebuck Lake and about 1100 surround-
ing acres. Hogs had been doing a lot of dam-
age and I was invited to come see if I could find
them. A couple of days later I scouted over the
place, did see quite a bit of rooting, and made
plans to come back with my dogs soon.
Saturday, March 30, four hunters came from
Detroit, Michigan to hunt in our area. They were
Keith Phillips, Andrew Bowler, Jeff Smith, and
Jared Smith. Local guys helping on the hunt
were Dakota Click, Chad Harrington, Tren-
ton Jones, and Casey Williams. At Kensing we
found no hogs and after lunch were joined by
Johnny Hurley and Denton Humphreys who
brought fresh dogs. Rushing from place to place
we checked near Antioch and Racetrack. Near
Racetrack after an hour a large group of hogs
was found and the dogs caught a two hundred
fifty pounder. The visitors were really smiling
but I was probably happier than they were since
a guide fears hunting all day with no luck.
Rain was predicted Easter Sunday, March 31
so we took a day of rest and began fresh Mon-
day, April 1. Near Horton after walking a few
miles and several hours a two hundred forty
pound boar was found and it promptly swam
the river where dogs bayed it in the edge of the
water. Clayton Harrington and Collon Williams
were helping today and they swam the cold riv-
er along with Casey Williams and eighth grade
guest, Jared Smith. Clayton grabbed a back leg
while Jared used his knife. Several dog leads
were snapped together and hooked to the boar.
After the boys swam back across, the boar was
pulled over. The boar had very sharp teeth and I
stapled up cuts on three dogs. Since it was so far
back to the four wheelers the hog was quartered
to help with carrying. The head was also carried
in for mounting and it will hang over Jared’s bed
after coming back from the taxidermist.
Tuesday, April 2 was the last day for the De-
troit folks to hunt and we met near Hugo, Okla-
homa at 9:00 a.m. After sitting in the pickups
for an hour due to rain and lightning we moved
closer to the hunting place. Another cloud came
up and we sat a while more before beginning the
hunt. As the rain stopped we loaded in a jeep and
a small trailer and rode over the 1100 acre ranch
beside Roebuck Lake. I had hoped there would
be evidence of recent rooting and tracks since I
had scouted there Sunday but the rain in the last
hour had erased any fresh sign. Craters dug by
the hogs in pastures and around edges of wheat
field gave proof of their activity. Today the hogs
must have been on an adjoining ranch as our
dogs did not smell any. Around 3:00, I was be-
ginning to have a bad sense of the dreaded guide
failure. Our only hope was to quickly load up
and head for Texas where we still had a chance
at a normally productive place near Pecan Gap.
As we drove across the Pecan Gap pasture I was
thrilled to see rooting made in the last few hours.
The hogs were close. I sent the men and dogs
along a small creek where the hogs were found
bedded down for the day. About thirty of all siz-
es scattered in various directions. After catching
two, forty pounders we moved to a thicket where
we got a hundred fifty pound boar as darkness
closed in. I just wish we would start getting a
hog early in the day so the pressure would be off
me and I could relax the rest of the day. All the
meat and the trophy head was carried back to
Michigan along with lots of stories.
More advice from a Japanese doctor. Dear
Doctor. How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
Well, if you have body and you have fat, your
ratio one to one. If you have two body your ra-
tio two to one. Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
You not listening. Food fried in vegetable oil.
How getting more vegetable be bad? Will sit ups
help me from getting big around the middle? Oh
no! When you exercise muscle get bigger. You
should only do sit ups if you want bigger stom-
ach.
