Kat Daddy’s slated to
open Friday in Holliday
by John Thomas
The Archer
Advocate
Roy Dyer
and his wife Gin-
ger, of Holliday,
plan to open their 1;.
new restaurant
located at 100 W.
Olive in Holliday,
this Friday, Feb-
ruary 20.
“Our plans
are to be open
this Friday if we
can get every-
thing in place by then,” Roy Dyer
said Tuesday morning. “We were not
anticipating needing a new vent-a-
hood, and this slowed us up a little.”
Ginger added.
Roy, Jim and Jimmy Wyatt
were installing the new vent-a-hood
in the kitchen so Roy can get every-
thing organized and ready for Fri-
day.
“Ginger has been working on
the restaurant itself. Painting, clean-
ing and setting up the eating area
while I have been working moving
all the cooking equipment into the
kitchen,” Roy added.
Roy has owned the Kickapoo
General Store for the past four years.
He operated the general store on a
daily basis while serving breakfast
and lunch. On the weekends, Friday
and Saturday evenings, Roy offered
a $7.00, “all-you-can-eat”, fried cat-
fish dinner with all the trimmings.
His plans are to be open in his
new location from 10:30 a.m. until
9:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday,
serving lunch and dinner.
“We will still have our all-you-
can-eat catfish dinner on Friday and
Saturday nights but catfish will al-
ways be on our daily menu,” Roy
said.
The daily lunch and dinner
menu will include catfish, shrimp,
chicken fried steak, hamburgers,
cheeseburgers plus daily specials

CAPITOL
COMMENT
U.S. SENATOR
KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON
Roy Dyer lends a hand as Jim and
Jimmy Wyatt install the new
vent-a-hood.
and other items.
Roy decided to move his op-
eration from the General Store at the
lake to the building in Holliday to
take advantage of the traffic that
travels down Highway 82. The loca-
tion of KatTDaddy’s would also be
easier to find for those people not
familiar with the area.
Roy needed to come up with
another name rather than Kickapoo
General Store and he always wanted
to us the name “Kat Daddy’s” and
this move would give him the op-
portunity.
“When it comes to catfish ...
Daddy knows best” is the motto he
has associate with the new name.
“I invite all my loyal custom-
ers to come join me in my new loca-
tion and I invite all those in the area
who never made the trip to the lake
to come see me in Holliday,” Roy
said.
Roy and Ginger still maintain
that this will be a family restaurant
that will utilize family members to
help serve the public just like at the
lake.
Roy, Ginger and the family are
located at 100 W. Olive in Holliday
and you can call them at 586-4550.
In Archer
City it was esti-
mated to be 3 and
a half to 4 inches
of snow. In Lake-
side City and along
Hwy.1954, it was 4
to 6 inches.
“The snow
that we received
was like getting a
good soaking rain
of three-tenths to
one half of an
inch,” Mr. Ball said. “The moisture
from the snow forced itself into the
already wet ground because of the
slow melting process. A normal rain-
fall has a certain amount of run off,
but with the melting snow most of
the moisture is forced into the
ground and the result is a much
deeper level of moisture.”
Other than the benefit to yards
and gardens, the moisture helped
the wheat crops that are in the
ground this time of the year. “The
moisture helped the wheat and it
also helped the wild rye that is grow-
^Sjj
ing in the fields for the animals to
graze,” Mr. Ball pointed out.
“Looking at the rainfall or
moisture on a year-to-date basis we
are running ahead, but we also came
into the year way behind from last
year so we still have a long way to
go,” Ball also pointed out.
Saturday was also a great day
to be a kid. Snowmen, sledding and
just playing in the snow were all-
day events this past weekend.
All around the county you
could see interesting snow art and
kids and adults having a great time.
A Wealth of Information
Today more than 170 million
Americans use the Internet, bring-
ing a virtual world of news, informa-
tion and entertainment into our
homes and workplaces at the click
of a button. The average citizen can
now access useful data and infor-
mation previously unavailable, or
hard to find. But with so much infor-
mation to sift through on the World
Wide Web, being able to pinpoint
your search is critical. Since my of-
fices receive countless letters from
Texans inquiring about the services
provided by the federal government,
I thought I’d share a collection of
the best online government re-
sources available.
A subject heavy on people’s
minds these days is paying for col-
lege. One source for useful informa-
tion is the Department of Education’s
Web site www.ed.gov. This site pro-
vides a wealth of information on fed-
eral education grants and applica-
tions for student financial aid. It also
includes helpful tips on how to con-
solidate and pay off student loans.
If school is no longer on your
financial agenda, but you are con-
sidering starting your own business,
you may want to check out
www.sba.gov, the Small Business
Administration’s Web site. This site
contains valuable information about
becoming an entrepreneur and ob-
taining small business loans for your
new venture. Those of you who al-
ready operate businesses might find
opportunities or tips on how best to
market and grow your business.
It is advisable for consumers
to verify their consumer credit re-
ports annually, especially when plan-
ning to purchase property or make
’other financial decisions. There are
three major national credit bureaus,
Trans Union, Equifax and Experian,
from which your credit report can
be obtained. Additional consumer
credit information can be found on
the Federal Trade Commission’s
(FT,C) Web site, www.ftc.gov.
Before you leave the FTC Web
site, find out how to report unsolic-
ited e-mail, or “spam,” as it is com-
monly known, and how to avoid re-
ceiving it. The FTC is also a great
resource for consumer rights infor-
mation and tips on how to avoid
many different types of scams and
rip-offs.
Should you happen to be pre-
paring to travel outside the United
States, you might want to check out
the Department of State’s Web site,
www.state.gov, to see if any travel
warnings have been issued for the
country or countries to which you
will travel. You can also print out an
application for a U.S. passport.
While these resources may
provide you with greater peace of
mind, you may also want informa-
tion regarding a healthy body.
Through the National Institute of
Health’s Web site, www.nih.gov, it
is possible to search for and obtain
prescription and over-the-counter
drug information by brand and ge-
neric name. You can look up inju-
ries, diseases and illnesses to learn
more about prevention, symptoms
and treatments.
Texans can also access the
state’s website, www.texas.gov, for
a wealth of information on living,
working and playing in the Lone Star
State. Not only is it possible to re-
new your drivers’ license and ob-
tain hunting and fishing permit ap-
plications, in some cases you can
even pay your parking tickets. And
to explore Texas vacation and travel
opportunities, visit
www.traveltex.com, to learn more
about your favorite destinations and
discover new and exciting spots
throughout the state. This list is only
a small sample of the resources the
government provides for consum-
ers. To see a complete list of infor-
mation available, log on to
www.firstgov.com, the federal
government’s official web portal.
Whether you want to grow bigger
tomatoes (www.usda.gov), deter-
mine if you need flood insurance
(www.fema.gov), or verily your So-
cial Security benefits (www.ssa.gov),
the federal government is at your
fingertips 24 hours a day, seven days
a week, 365 days a year.
