4A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, July 20, 2013OPINIONThe human condition, rats and ReunionBY BRANDON EVANSbevans@wcmessenger.comThe spectrum of Reunionranges from raucous innocenceto depraved debauchery.Children scream shrillyas water balloons rain downlike hail. Some burst inslow motion atop pigtailsand crewcuts, while othersbounce harmlessly acrossdirt paths, brightly-coloredgelatinous globules gushingonto dry ground. Thechildren run like a pack ofjackrabbits in a grassfire beweenrows of dusty cabins.One row over, inside aabin, drunken hoots andollers bellow forth likeisplaced war cries. A fistounds a table as a ring oflazed-over eyes watches aair of dice settle on a wornable. Rising coils of smokeingle with the stench ofour beer.The full range of the humanexperiencebelchesitself out duringthe organizedchaosdelicatelyreferred to asEVANS Wise CountyOld SettlersReunion.Teenage girls fall in andout love in the course ofa week, left forever withfaint emotional scars etchedon young, burning hearts.Young men high on testosteroneand Natty Lightresort to fisticuffs amid asea of trucks in a dirt- andgrass-covered parking lot.It’s that last full week inJuly when the summer sunhas dried out the earth likebeef jerky. Families, descendantsand friends scatteredacross the continent returnto ramshackle cabins linedamong twisted old oaksbeside a barely bubblingcreek. The creek cuts deepinto the earth, exposinglayers of the past — thesame earth laid bare whengrizzled Civil War veteransmissing limbs and teethgathered their wagons underthose same trees, firingcannons and sharing warstories.Water balloons havereplaced the cannons, andwashers and dominoes havetaken the place of war storiesand political speeches.And the moonshine hasbeen replaced with ... well,more moonshine.Locals say it can’t be understoodby outsiders. ButI think everybody can get itif they try. It delves into theantiquity of social evolution.It’s humankind in a base,communal, almost tribe-likestate. There are no lockeddoors. Everything is shared,from ice-cold beverages toMaw-maw’s casseroles. It’sWise County’s version ofBurning Man — that annualfestival in Nevada’sBlack Rock Desert.For children there areno clocks, no alarms, nobedtimes. They run arounduntil they’re so exhaustedthey can actually collapseinto a deep sleep in the openair on a dingy, probably mildewedold mattress in Texassummer heat so intensethat even at night it mightbe 90 degrees.And for a week, thechildren actually functionjust fine without Xboxesor episodes of “Wizards ofWaverly Place.”Like all tales covering thehuman experience, theremust be legend. There mustbe magic. And the legend ofReunion is Roscoe the Rat,a now-mythical creature onpar with Runaway Bay’schupacabra.Roscoe was once a celebrityat Reunion. He ranhis own version of redneckroulette. Every year, whenthe carnies set out theirrides and games, his gamewas the most popular.He lived in a box undera large wheel. The wheelwas sliced into colors of red,green and blue. At the largeend of each colored slice wasa hole. Players of the gameplaced a bet onto which holeor color Roscoe would diveinto. For those few momentswhen Roscoe dashed aroundthat multi-colored wheel, hewas a star.Most people can’t recalla time before Roscoe — butsadly, they know of a timeafter.You see, in Texas, youcan’t run a gambling operationif the house takes inany money. And in this case,Roscoe and his carnie buddieswere racking up somemoney on this game. So thelaw shut him down — drovehim underground.But like any real legend,Roscoe won’t die.As long as there is Reunionthere will be Roscoe.He’s out there, dartingamong cascading waterballoons, hiding beneath thehat of the man betting it allon a lucky dice roll.His legend completesthe spectrum of the humancondition, the guiltyand the innocent foundamong the dusty camps,beneath the stars and theoaks, among the briars andspiders and snakes and thekind, sharing hearts of goodpeople — the storytellers,cooks, jokesters, pranksters,dancers, singers, drinkers,gamers and gamblers thatmake up Wise County OldSettlers Reunion.Brandon Evans is a Messengerreporter.Follow adventures ofRoscoe on Twitter @Roscoe_the_RatAbout thatWise Countybear...BY GERRE JOINERI recently referenced a Wise County incidentinvolving a bear. After the column was published,I noted that this story was worthy of more attentionand detail.Here’s more information regarding the WiseCounty bear: Young Truitt Hodges Jr. (age16) and his father, Truitt HodgesSr., were working on the farm oneday when Truitt’s grandfather,Thomas, drove up in a panic. Hesaid he’d just seen a bear!Junior and Senior were skeptical.After quite a long discussion,they (Jr. and Sr.) were still unconvinced thatJOINERGrandpa had seen a bear. They decided to leave itat that. (“Let’s just not talk about this any more.Maybe Grandpa’s just confused.”) Not many days afterward, Loyd Jackson’s father,Loyd Jackson Sr., saw the bear on his place.He rubbed his eyes and re-focused to make surehe was seeing a bear in the pasture with his cows.He had no gun, so he went to find a friend.Waymon Pannell had a gun, came to the Jacksonplace and shot the bear.Word spread that a bear had been shot at theJacksons, and people came from far and near tosee the dead animal on display in the bed of Mr.Jackson’s pickup. Newspapers from Fort Worthand Dallas came to cover the story. Nobody inWise County had heard the term in 1957, but“traffic jams” were created by the hubbub. Much speculation was offered about how thebear got to Wise County, Texas. Some say the bearescaped from a circus train on its way throughDecatur. Others say it was a pet that got too bigto handle, prompting the owners to release theanimal.One speculation is that the bear was owned bya rodeo clown in the Fort Worth area and escapedon the way to (or from) a rodeo. It’s difficult to findan old-time Wise County resident who doesn’tremember the bear.Let’s return to Grandpa Hodges. How do youthink he felt when he saw what he saw, thencame to the people (his son and his son’s son) whohad always believed everything he had ever toldthem?After he got the news of the bear killin’, herushed out to the farm and instructed “Senior”and “Junior” to get in his pickup. He had somethingto show them! They countered with, “We’remighty busy here on the place. We don’t havetime right now.”After some discussion/coercion, the three mendrove to the Jackson place to see the bear andhear the story of the one-sided shootout. By thetime they arrived, Pannell had skinned the bearand was trimming off bear meat for the passersby.Ross Mueller chose not to eat the stuff. His sonBart ate a man-sized portion of bear meat at theripe old age of 6 years.Moral to the story is this: When Grandpa tells awhopper, you’d better act like you believe it evenif you don’t. He might be right.Gerre Joiner is a semi-retired church musicianand has lived in Decatur since 1999.Perry for President (just not of Texas A&M)BY KRISTEN TRIBEktribe@wcmessenger.comOh, happy day.Monday, July 8.I was home when I got thenews. I was standing at the barscrolling through my Twitterfeed, scarfing down a sandwichwhen I saw the breaking story.Gov. Rick Perry announcedhe would not seek a fourthterm as leader of the Lone StarState.Jubilation bubbled inside me.Within minutes, a friendtexted to see if I’d heard thenews. That was quickly followedby notification from myhusband. Throughout the weeka few other friends mentionedit, all in gleeful celebration.In December 2011, abouta month before he withdrewfrom the presidential primaryrace, I wrote a column detailingmy “Perry experience”over the years and surprise athis implosion in the nationalspotlight.Even though I wasn’t a politicalreporter, through variousstory assignments I had runinto the governor on severaloccasions since he took officein 2000. Every conversation orinterview over the years deepenedmy disdain for Gov. SexyHair, as we refer to him in theTribe household.I took pleasure in his presidentialcampaign follies butwas somewhat disappointedwhen he withdrew becausethat meant he was cominghome to Texas.Of course, hewas welcomedback by the farright while themiddle-of-theroaderslike meTRIBE and those onthe left cringed.Citizens for Responsibilityand Ethics and Washington(CREW) has actually namedhim one of the worst governorsin the United States. The nonprofit,legal watchdog group reportsthat since January 2011,Perry has taken advantage ofan obscure provision in Texaslaw that allows him to collecthis pension benefits from thestate, along with his governor’ssalary.The group also points outthat Perry has demonstrated alack of transparency throughouthis tenure by maintaininga policy that his staff deleteemails every seven days, andby keeping records closed thatdetail his daily schedule orguests who stay overnight atthe governor’s mansion — recordsthat were previouslypublic.The list of complaints goeson and on: his tendency to letneeded legislation die on hisdesk if it offends a donor, hisgenerosity to big business fromhis slush fund, and the habitof appointing donors to statepositions and raising campaigndollars from state appointeesand their families.Until last week it seemed wewould never get rid of him. Buthis announcement was a littleray of sunshine.Then just days later, newsbroke that R. Bowen Loftin wasstepping down as presidentof Texas A&M University, myalma mater. I got a catch in mythroat. Would Perry, who is alsoan Aggie, slide into this prestigiousposition? There havebeen rumors that he would oneday assume a post within thesystem.I was nauseous just thinkingabout it, but the timing seemedtoo coincidental. Our governor,A&M Class of 1972 andinfamous yell leader, decides toleave the top post in the stateand Loftin, who by all accountsis beloved and has done a goodjob, resigns, seemingly out ofnowhere.I didn’t want to see whathappened next. Of course,as friends reminded me: It’sdoubtful he would get theA&M presidential post becauseit’s a real job. Actual work isinvolved, which doesn’t seem tobe Perry’s forte.But the question remains:What will he do now?After reading a July 15Washington Post article, I wassurprised to find out he’s stillconsidering a run for presidentof the United States.I guess a presidential campaignis like childbirth. Godmakes you forget all the horriblemoments; otherwise you’dnever do it a second time.In the article, reporter DanBalz asks Perry “how his lousyintroduction to the nationalstage would affect his chancesif he were to run again.”Perry’s response: “America’sbeen a country of secondchoices.”Huh?Balz asks if, in fact, he meant“second chances.”The article quotes Perry assaying, “Both. Second choicesand second chances ... If oneperformance or a series ofperformances pretty muchblackballs you, then it does.But I don’t think that’s whatthis country’s all about.”There you have it, folks.Although I would argue thatRick Perry could best servethe people of this great nationby becoming a hermit, Irealize that’s unlikely. His egowouldn’t allow it.So after much consideration,I’m led to believe that a Perryrun for the White House mightnot be so bad.It would cost us a few milliondollars for his DPS securitydetail, but it would physicallyremove him from our greatstate and keep his nose out ofthe A&M system.And it would be an absolutewindfall for the comedy writersat “Saturday Night Live.”So, get out there on the campaigntrail and quit messingwith Texas. Perry for presidentin 2016!Kristen Tribe is news editor ofthe Wise County Messenger.

When the Law ismentioned, we must be careful when reading the Bible that we understand whatLaw is meant. The Law of Moses from Sinai and the Law of Faith was establishedby Jesus our Lord. They are two different policies. Unlike and not resembling eachother. “The Law and the prophets were until John, since then the Kingdom of Godis preached…”(Lk 16:16) What are we taught by witnesses of Jesus Christ? Thelaw expired or ended with the ministry of John the Baptist. “…He taketh away thefi rst (Law of Sinai) that he may establish the second.” (Heb10:9)What replaced theLaw? The Gospel of Jesus Christ! The history of the wives and sons of Abrahamin the book of Genesis, we read in Gen 21:12 that God required Abraham to castout, or send away, part company with Hagar and her son Ishmael. What type oflesson is this to the Church of Jesus Christ? We read in Galatians 4:21-31 thatthe two women in the household of Abraham were an allegory (symbolic) theywere representative of the two covenants of God. The fi rst from Sinai (including theSabbath), the second the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At the establishing of the Gospelof Christ. What are we to do with the Law (including the Sabbath) or commandmentsof Moses? We are readily taught” …cast out the bondwoman and her son” (Gal4:30). Be thankful we are no longer subject to the Sabbath law. God does not judgethe New testament church by the law of Moses, but by the commands of Jesus andhis apostles. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God….” (II Tim 2:15).

8A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, July 20, 2013BRIDGEPORTDebt to be issued forstreet, sidewalk projectBY ERIKA PEDROZAepedroza@wcmessenger.comBridgeport citizens are one step closerto seeing sidewalks downtown andimproved streets around town.Tuesday, the city council authorizedthe publication of its intent to sell $5.2million in certificates of obligation tofund the project and associated costs— the first step in the process.According to a schedule devised bySouthwest Securities — the city’s financialadviser — after the notice ispublished for two consecutive weeks, aspecial meeting is scheduled for Thursday,Aug. 29, to issue the bonds, whichwill be closed and delivered Sept. 26.“In order for the debt service to actuallyimpact the I&S portion of our taxrate the next fiscal year, the debt hasto be on the books prior to the beginningof the fiscal year, which meansthat we would have to take deliveryof the bonds before Sept. 30,” City AdministratorBrandon Emmons said.Work on the multi-year project willbegin in the next fiscal year and isslated to be completed in two to threeyears.“The idea is to take our existing concreteroads that we have and use thatas a basis and work from there, extendout some of the cross streets,” Emmonssaid.Streets tentatively identified include11th, 12th, 14th, 15th and 17th streetsfrom Cates Street to MockingbirdLane/Elementary Drive. The projectalso includes sidewalks along HalsellBY ERIKA PEDROZAepedroza@wcmessenger.comA $10,000 grant to thecity of Bridgeport was appreciatedeven more afterthe council moved on tothe next item on its agendaTuesday evening.For its participation inthe Texas OHV decal program,the city’s parks andrecreation department received$10,000 grant fromthe Texas Parks and WildlifeDepartment.Those funds will be appliedtoward the city’s requiredmatch for the 2011Texas Recreation Trailgrant — which will funda large portion of the constructionof a perimeterfence around NorthwestOHV Park.They will need it all,as the council went on toaward a contract not toexceed $113,325 to H2Construction for the fenceproject, despite a staff recommendationto award thejob to 3H Fence, which bid67,325.Representatives of bothompanies were present atuesday’s meeting. Whensked why there was such aStreet downtown, subdrains in thewest side of town and any associatedutilities.“If we can’t fund it all (with bonds),we can look at capital improvementbudget over the next few years,” Emmonssaid.The intended bond total does notreflect the Bridgeport Economic DevelopmentCorp.’s (EDC) request tocombine efforts with $1.2 million inbond-funded infrastructure improvementsat Endeavor Bridgeport businesspark.Staff presented information abouthow the additional debt would affectthe city’s debt ratio and bond rating,which deterred the council from combiningthe projects.Also, had the bond issues been combined,the city and EDC would be requiredto enter an interlocal agreementoutlining each one’s responsibilities— presumably that the EDC wouldpledge a portion of its sales tax proceedsto repay the city.Such an arrangement would meanif sufficient EDC funds were notavailable, the city would be responsiblefor the payments.“I understand the need to developEndeavor because I believe itwill benefit the city,” CouncilwomanKathy Kennedy said. “However …it makes me a little apprehensive toextend that [issuance] … especiallyright now. We’re just now beginningto get our feet back underneath usafter what we’ve been through, andI think we need to be very cautious.”big difference between thelowest and next lowest bid,both agreed it was rental ofheavy equipment to cleara required 7-foot pathwayaround the fence and haulingoff of the brush.H2 was to use bulldozers,while 3H Fence said theywould go with chainsaws.“Our specs did not requiredozer work,” saidRyan Nolting, director ofparks and recreation.However, council membersappeared to prefer it.“I think the dozers willgive a cleaner look; it’s goingto be something we canbe more proud of; and it willmake the area more accessible,”said CouncilwomanKathy Kennedy.In other newsThe council also: heard from residentSandra Smith, who requestedthe city not sprayfor mosquitoes and insteadlook into alternatives.

DeveloperJohn Crisp has been negotiatingwith the company for months,and one request was a 350-plus linearfeet public access concrete drivealong the west side of the lot, whichwill connect two existing public accessdrives with the highway.The newly approved drive willmake the property “shovel-ready” forTaco Bell and will also service Yesterday’sand other businesses to theeast while improving access and developmentpotential for undevelopedtracts to the northwest and northeast.Crisp will plan, bid and constructthe drive, and the EDC will providea reimbursement not to exceed$35,000.“I don’t like budget amendments, butI think this is a worthy cause,” MayorKeith McComis said. “I support it, andI think we’ll get enough sales [to justifyit].

2B WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, July 20, 2013Brothers: Put pedal to the metalIT’S WHATWE DO.940-627-5987WCMESSENGER.COM/SUBSCRIBEJIMMY ALFORD/WCMESSENGER • Buy reprints at wcmessenger.com/reprintsTAKING THE CORNER — Daniel Van Haitsma in No. OO slides alongside April Phillips, whois driving No. 42, in the Friday, July 12 IMCA Hobby Stock feature race. Phillips poweredthrough the straights to beat Van Haitsma that night.FALLSPORTSPreview ‘13Continued from page 1Bnodded his head.“It’s his fault, alright. I’mthe older brother, but he andanother guy built a Chargerand I helped.”The family hails fromMichigan, where the internalcombustion engine gotits start, in the heart of theRust Belt. Despite their tiesto the birthplace of the U.S.automotive industry, neitherof the Van Haitsmasthink much of it.Willard noted, in fact, thatthey spent much of their formativeyears in Mexico withtheir missionary parents.He said they never knewanything different, and thatthey had a ball growing upsouth of the border.“I don’t think that wherewe were raised had a lot todo with it,” said Daniel. “Iwas always messing aroundwith cars and rather thangetting into trouble streetracing, I went to watch afew dirt track races.“I thought, ‘Man, I coulddo that!’ so I started buildinga car with the help ofa couple of retired racers Imet. The rest is history.”That history comes withsome sibling rivalry, Danielsaid. Many nights, spectatorscan watch the two viefor first place on the track.And out there on the dirt,the brothers work to honetheir craft.“I’m thinking of how toimprove for next week andif I win, I think about what Ihave to do to continue to beup front,” Daniel said.In 25 years, the Van Haitsmashave seen their shareof spills and have watchedeach other take some hardhits — but both have faredwell overall.“Yes there have been afew wrecks, but the worstwas just a little whiplash,”Daniel said. “Yes, it reallyhappens so fast that youjust hope he is OK and startthinking about what youwill have to repair.”Willard said they’ve beenextremely lucky and neitherof them have flipped, caughtfire, or sustained serous injury.In his younger days asa racer, he said, he was moreaggressive — which doesn’talways translate to being abetter racer.“They used to call me “twolap” because after two lapsI’d spin out and lose it,” Willardsaid. “So for awhile, Iwatched what the guys whowere winning were doing.If you ever want to learnhow to race, watch how theydrive. I’ve learned that youcan drive a bit slower andfinish faster.”When asked where theyare compared to other racers,both shrugged. A bit ofmodesty hides the fact Danieland Willard hold firstand second, respectively,with one leading in IMCAHobby Stock and the other aclose second in IMCA SportCompact.The leader boards arebased on a system wherepoints are accrued for everyrace. The Van Haitsmashave raced almost everyFriday during Boyd Raceway’s2013 season, and theycontinue to show.They both chuckled andWillard said they definitelydon’t race for the payouts.“Its a lot of things — fromthe adrenaline rush, to thecompetition, to the camaraderiewith the other racersand fans,” Daniel said. “It’slike having a big, extendedfamily that all do the sametype of work.”Daniel credited his sponsor,Texas Gyro, for helpingkeep him on the track. Healso said he couldn’t havestuck to racing without hiswife’s suport.“She gave up a lot ofthings so I could race,” hesaid.Yes, in addition to the dirt,exhaust and the whine ofthe engines, there’s a familyfeeling in the air, too.Advertising DeadlineFriday, August 16Publication DateWednesday, August 28WISESERVICE DIRECTORYCOUNTYAUTOMOTIVEHOLMESAuto SupplyOur 69th Year Serving Wise CountyAuto Parts • Heavy Duty Truck Parts • Tools &Equipment • Oil Field Supplies and HydraulicHoses • Welding SuppliesAuto Body and Paint Supplies803 W.
