When the U.S.Census released numbers forTexas last month, Rhome jumpedpast seven other cities to becomethe county’s third largest.Rhome posted the largest percentageincrease in populationby far, boasting a staggering 176percent growth rate in one decade.With 551 residents in 2000,the city now has 1,522.And the new Rhomans haven’tbeen standing idly by either.They’ve been quick to get involved.“We liked the rural characterand the openness of the lots, andwe liked the tax rate,” said EvelynObenour.She moved to Crown Point fromIndiana five years ago. Now she ismayor of Rhome.N e w c o m e r smoved into housespopping up onthe hills, pasturesand prairies. Severaldevelopmentsthat added to thegrowth are CrownPoint, Ellis Homesteadand By WellEstates.Plenty of othersecho her sentimentsfor movingto Rhome, includingcity council member GerryMcBride.“We sold our home in HighlandVillage and moved out here,” Mc-Bride said. “I’m a rural guy, and Iliked the lower taxes.”McBride moved to By Well Estatesfour years ago.But as Rhome continues togrow, the rural character andeven the lower taxes could be injeopardy.“Rhome is better off than a lotof cities,” McBride said of preparingfor growth, but he admittedthe difficulty of handling it.“Infrastructure is very costly.You have to spend money to takeRHOMECENSUS 2010:BEYONDTHENUMBERScare of water, sewerand road. Youhave to take careof it. You can’t letit deteriorate,”he said. “But youalso don’t want toraise taxes. It canreally put a hit onthe people.”He added thataccess to water iskey to the futureof Rhome.Planning forthe futureToday, the city hopes to get aplan in place. The city councilwas scheduled to discuss at 7tonight at its regular meetingwhen to hold a session to createa master plan for Rhome.McBride encourages publicinput. He said the city needs toact now to prepare for the cominggrowth.“It would be great if we couldmaintain the feel of Rhome,”said Chris Graves.Graves moved to Ellis Homesteadone year ago with his wifeand children. The rural characterwas a draw for him. But heknows more growth is coming.NEW FACES,TRADITION-AL IDEAS— Nearly1,000people havemoved toRhome inthe past 10years, boostingit to thethird largestcity in thecounty.

When he heardthat a Love’s Travel Stop wasgoing up by his neighborhood, hehad some concerns.Graves is a broker for a truckingcompany, Strait TransportLLC. He was initially worriedabout the truck stop attractingcriminals or other undesirables,such as “lot lizards.” But heeventually learned to accept thenew store.“I’m not a big fan of truckstops,” he said. “But it will begood for the town, and Love’sdoes a good job of maintainingsafety at their locations.”Now Graves is running for citycouncil in the May election.“I left the meeting feelinglike I needed to start gettinginvolved,” he said. “It’s one ofthose things.

A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, March 24, 2011DECATURCourt upholds Reza convictiony BRANDON EVANSThe Second Court of Appeals in Fort Worth hasffirmed a Wise County jury’s conviction of MoammedReza.In July 2009, Reza, formerly of Decatur, wasonvicted on one count of aggravated sexual asaultof a child and was sentenced to 15 years inrison.Reza appealed, arguing that the trial court hadot required the state to choose which of the mulipleacts it was relying on for conviction. The stateharged Reza on two counts of sexual assault, buthe jury only found him guilty of one. Reza alsolaimed the state had insufficient evidence.Judge Sue Walker disagreed, overruling both ofReza’s issues and affirming the Wise County jury’ssentence.The state admitted that it did commit a chargeerror, but it did not harm the defendant.“We hold that the trial court’s error in failingto instruct the jury regarding the State’s electionwas not so egregious and did not create such harmas to deny Reza a fair and impartial trial,” readWalker’s ruling.The Fort Worth court affirmed that the districtattorney’s evidence was sufficientReza, originally from Bangladesh, was tried forsexually assaulting an 11-year-old. The assaulttook place in 2006 at a house in Decatur. RezaWISE COUNTYowned the Sunset Gas and Grill and leased theAlvord Express store.The state asked for a 50-year-sentence, but thefamily of the victim was satisfied with the 15 yearsgiven to Reza.“It was a long wait, but they did a wonderfuljob,” said Daisy Ali, the victim’s aunt, of the districtattorney’s office at the time of the conviction.But such crimes continue to haunt the victim.“I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and itwas all a bad dream,” said Farzana Siddiqua, thevictim’s mother. “She’s not my little girl anymore.She’s changed. She’s tougher.”E-mail Brandon at bevans@wcmessenger.com.wcmessenger.com/blogs/momPhil MajorPresident & PublisherP.O. Box 149115 S.

A completeoutfit is $32.50 and includesa dress, bloomers, ruffledsocks and headbands.Morley owns Candy D’sCustom Designs, D6 Designsand is an independentdistributor for Mona-VieJuice.“I’m actually able to support the kiddos now,” Morley said.“You can’t do it on just the one income.”Morley’s children also contribute by selling beadedkeychains at school.

The childrensell them for $2.50.CONVERTED BEDROOM — Candy Morley of Rhome works onbows for one of the three businesses at her home.

Because her birthdayfell near high school graduations,they all told her theywere busy.Working part-time at MidwayTruck Stop on U.S. 380with no professional bakingclasses, Flores decided tomake her daughter’s cakeherself.“I started looking up videoson Youtube,” Flores said.Right now, Flores onlymakes cakes for family andfriends through her JazzyCakes business.“It’s something that I reallyenjoy doing and wishI could do it full-time, butthere’s a lot of competition,”she said. “I also work parttime,so that makes it harderto focus on it 100 percent.”Flores said her incomefrom Jazzy Cakes isn’t asmuch as she would like.“I don’t make that much because it’s so time consumingand expensive,” she said. “If I get five orders in one weekend,then it really does show.”Sheriff David Walker said easinginto the system “may be the smarterway to do it” versus installing thecomplete package all at once.“We can use what we have in ourbudget to step into our system, getthe infrastructure going and get asmany radios as possible,” he said.“It’s something we’ve talked aboutContinued on page 5AWISE COUNTYCounty moves forward with scaled-down radio planfor years.

4A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, March 24, 2011OPINIONOUR VIEWSWhy the static regarding the county’s radio system?By KRISTEN TRIBEFor the second time in lessthan two weeks, Precinct 4 CommissionerTerry Ross has madewaves in the discussion of the newcountywide radio system.And it has left radio committeemembers clearly exasperated.His questions may be legitimate,but the way the subjects havebeen broached seems to underminethe work of the committee.Committee members includePrecinct 2 Commissioner KevinBurns, Sheriff David Walker, FireMarshal Marc Dodd, EmergencyMedical Services AdministratorCharles Dillard and Decatur FireChief Mike Richardson.Although a new radio systemhas been discussed off-and-onfor about 12 years, according toWalker, a committee appointed bycounty commissioners has spentthe last several months seriouslyresearching various companiesand the systems they provide.The committee recommendedthe countypursue a contract withEF Johnson Technologiesof Irving. An EFJohnson representativemade a presentation atthe March 10 meeting fora system that would cost$2.12 million.This system wouldimprove coverage andensure the county complieswith federal requirements tobe broadcasting on narrowband by2013.I think all the commissioners,and maybe even some radiocommittee members, suffered alittle sticker shock, which is tobe expected and certainly shouldbe discussed. But in the midst ofdiscussion, Ross gave the floor toNolen Warner with Warner Radio,asking his opinion of the system.Ross told the MessengerTuesday that hedidn’t know why Warnerwas present, but Warnerimmediately began toquestion all facets of thecommittee’s work and accusedcommittee membersof not returning hiscalls and refusing to meetTRIBEwith him.Ross said he had notmet with Warner prior tothat meeting.“Nolen kept coming to themeetings, and I didn’t know whyhe was there,” said Ross. “Hewas always there. The other dayI just finally asked him (whathe thought). … I thought he wasthere in support of them. I didn’tknow why he was there. I wasshocked as anyone when he got upand said they need to do this andneed to do that.”Warner was again present atthe March 21 meeting, along withRob Walker, who introduced himselfas a representative for a radiomanufacturer. Rob lives in WiseCounty.When Ross randomly mentionedthe county might seek anengineer’s input from DETCOG,he had to defer to Rob because hedidn’t even know what DETCOGwas.He had learned about DETCOG,the Deep East Texas Council ofGovernments, from Rob, whoindicated he had reviewed the EFJohnson proposal and expressedhis concern about various issues.Ross told the Messenger thatRob contacted him about a yearago, following the radio systemstudy done by Kimball Engineering.“He just told me what a systemshould cost and don’t messup,” Ross said. “You know, ParkerCounty had just gone throughthat. I hadn’t called him back oranything.”Ross said he went by to seeWarner one day, and Rob just happenedto be there.During the March 21 meeting,County Judge Bill McElhaneyasked Ross why he didn’t pursuethis a year ago when Rob firstcontacted him.I wondered the same thingmyself. Why was it just mentionedthis week?I asked Ross Tuesday if he attemptedto facilitate a meetingbetween committee members andRob or at least pass on Rob’s suggestionsin a timely manner.Continued on page 5AYOUR VIEWSFormer designprevented accidentsIt seems to me if the engineers would have left the deignof the intersection of U.S. 380 and Business U.S. 380imilar to what it used to be, it would avoid having thisight put in and would have avoided most of these accients.Before it was changed with the new highway, if you wereeaded east on U.S. 380 and wanted on Business U.S. 380,here was a merging lane that took you onto Business U.S.80 way before the entire intersection, and it was muchafer. The new design caused a problem, in that if you areitting on Business U.S. 380 and wanting to turn left to goest on 380, the cars headed east on 380 and turning rightnto Business U.S. 380 obstruct your view of the other carseaded east on U.S. 380.That is why it has become so dangerous, where as if theld design were still in place, I don’t think all of these acidentswould have occurred, and there would be no needor a traffic light. Just my opinion.Tad BillmireDecaturThanks forscholarship supportThe first Jimmy Ware Scholarship and BABA Fundraisrwas held Feb. 12 at the Boyd Community Center.

So what are you supporting with your tax dolars?Did you know that Margaret Sanger, the founder oflanned Parenthood, was an avowed racist and eugenicist?n 1939, Sanger launched the “Negro Project,” a raciallyotivatedpopulation control scheme that recruited blackreachers to advocate birth control and sterilization inheir churches. Let’s find out the reason that Plannedarenthood even came into existence – in words of theounder, Margret Sanger:“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”(Margaret Sanger, “Woman, Morality, and Birth Control”New York: New York Publishing Co., 1922, page 12)“Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must preventmultiplication of this bad stock.” (Margaret Sanger,April, 1933 Birth Control Review)“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferablywith social-service backgrounds, and with engagingpersonalities. The most successful educational approachto the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t wantthe word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negropopulation. And the minister is the man who can straightenout that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebelliousmembers.” (Margaret Sanger’s Dec. 19, 1939, letterto Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Mass.Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College,North Hampton, Mass. Also described in Linda Gordon’s“Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of BirthControl in America,” New York: Grossman Publishers,1976)REMEMBER-ING JIMMY— LindaWare, wifeof the lateJimmy Ware,and his parents,Mr. andMrs. MattWare, speakto auctioneerCharlie Smithersat theBABA Fundraiser.Photo submittedThese are just a few ofher quotes. Google her yourselfand see what she reallyhad in mind whenever shecreated Planned Parenthood.She also proposed the“American Baby Code” thatstates, “No woman shallhave the legal right to beara child… without a permitfor parenthood.”The Alan GuttmacherInstitute, a leading proponentof abortion on demand,claims that there have beenmore than 50 million abortionsin the U.S. since Roev. Wade.It is now estimated thataround 69 million Americanshave lost their lives in war since the inception of ourcountry. World War II was the deadliest military conflict inhistory. Over 60 million people worldwide were killed. Wehate war because of the needless loss of life and property.Why do we embrace and encourage abortion?One-hundred percent of all abortions are fatal to thebaby. Let’s stop funding abortion now. God bless America.Robert CoxChicoThanks for fire protectionThank you to all the brave firefighters and neighborsof the Chisholm neighborhood who fought the March 11blaze beside us.

He saidit might be possible to get themoney up front.There were questions if thesmaller-scale plan would stillput the county in compliancewith federal regulations to bebroadcasting on narrowbandby 2013.“I would like a firm numberthat puts us in compliance,”said Ross.Walker said, “$1.5 millionfor compliance and $2.1million for the whole thing.There’s your number.”Burns told fellow commissionersthat a $1.5 millionplan would not make thecounty totally compliant.“We’re in compliance withthe backbone, but we’re notin compliance with individualradios in the county,” hesaid. “Those that aren’t narrowbandwill have to be replaced.”Depending on what is cutfrom the original plan toreach the $1.5 million, someof those things may need tobe purchased later.Commissioners’ attorneyThomas Aaberg was not presentat the meeting, but AssetManager Diana Alexandersaid his only concern was determiningthe legal processto purchase the equipment.The committee wants tomake the purchases througha state contract because ithas more leverage and generallygets better prices onbids, according to Alexander,but Aaberg needs to reviewthe state’s requirements,along with the EF Johnsoncontract.Alexander said Aaberg wascomfortable with the commissionersmoving forward withthe process, he just needs todetermine the correct way topurchase the equipment.Declaration of doubtsThis was the second timethe EF Johnson plan was discussedin a commissioners’meeting and the second timeRoss suggested representativesfrom other companiesweigh in on the issue.Ross again brought up havinganother engineer look atthe system.“Have we talked to DET-COG at all?” he asked. “Becausethey’ll look at all thisfor free.”County Judge Bill McElhaneyasked Ross what DET-COG was, but he couldn’t answer.When asked where heheard of it, he pointed to RobWalker, who identified himselfas a representative fora radio manufacturer, andNolen Warner, with WarnerCommunications of Decatur.Ross then deferred to Robwho said DETCOG is DeepEast Texas Council of Governments.“I’ve had a chance to lookover the proposal, and I thinkyou guys got the cart beforethe horse on a few things,” hesaid.Rob said he didn’t thinkthe county would be able toget the proper licensing, butDodd said they can’t get thelicensing until the county decideson a system.“We do have the licensesthat currently work,” hesaid. “The first step is to decidewe want the system, decidewhere the sites are, getthe licenses associated withthose sites and then do theenvironmental studies andsuch.“That is not the cart beforethe horse.”Dodd emphasized he wantsto ensure the county is incompliance, has the propercapacity and provides coveragefor the entire county.“Representing fire departmentsand emergency management,we need the completesystem,” he said. “Weneed to just bite the bullet.We’ve worked this system for40 years, and you’ve got a lotof mileage out of it.“But we need to move forwardand provide publicsafety officers a system theycan rely on,” he insisted.McElhaney and Aabergwill work out contract detailswith EF Johnson beforebringing it back to commissionersfor final approval.Alvord VeteransMemorial ParkSaturday, March 26FREE FOOD • MEMORIAL BRICK FORMS• GOSPEL MUSIC • SILENT AUCTION • RAFFLE TICKETS• TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONSJoin Us For AFun-Filled Evening!• 4:30 - 6 p.m.Free BBQ MealSilent Auction• 6 - 7 p.m.Gospel GroupThe Rainey FamilyFor More InformationPlease ContactBetty Woods: 940-644-2684Donnie Parker: 940-427-8391FUNDRAISERAlvord High SchoolCafeteriaAlvord• Raffle Tickets• MEMORIAL BRICKForms AvailableMOTHER’S DAYFATHER’S DAYGreat Gift Ideas• DONATIONSPhase II of the AlvordVeterans Memorial Park* DonationsTax-DeductibleWISE COUNTYSide businesses provide ...Continued from page 2AWith the rising price ofngredients, Flores is lowringher prices to stay inusiness, but said operatingbusiness in a small townresents unique problems.“I’m scared of going for itnd failing,” Flores said. “It’ssmall town, and we haveusinesses opening up butvery few make it. I wish Icould put more into it, butit’s hard when you have billsto pay.”Megan Degler of Decaturfound herself working for herin-laws when she decidedOUR VIEWSWhy the static ...ontinued from page 4AHis reply: “I gave their numbers to Rob.”McElhaney was obviously agitated at thearch 21 meeting, and during the discusionBurns even commented that he wouldeconsider serving on a committee again.Although he said it with a smile on hisace, joking, I interpreted the underlyingeaning to be: Why do all this work just toave every decision second-guessed?Wise County has 37 standing committeeshat oversee various projects and departents.The individuals on those committeesre responsible for researching issues andshe wanted to stay at homewith her daughter, Chloe.Degler was buying personalizeditems for a baby showerwhen it dawned on her shecould make items cheaper.“I thought well maybe I’llsee if my friends want to buythis,” Degler said.Degler’s baby product businesstook off.“It has helped our incomeand gives me spending moneyas well,” she said. “It’sdone a lot better than I expected.It has definitely supplementedour income. Heck,I do this more than I do mypart-time job.”Bug’s Baby Goodies sellsonesies, shirts, tutus, bows,wipe cases, bow hangers,blankets and several otherbaby items. Most of Degler’sbusiness, like Flores’ andMorley’s, is from Facebookbecause it is free advertising,Degler said.“I’ve had tremendous reviewsand have been verylucky,” she said. “I never expectedit to be more than forfriends and family, but thereis always a market for abirthday or a baby shower.”E-mail Julie at jneal@wcmessenger.com.making recommendations on how best tohandle them. Those items are then broughtto commissioners court for approval. Whileit is open for discussion at that time, commissionerslike Ross must extend a certainamount of trust to committee members.As a taxpayer, I expect commissioners toask questions and make sure they fully understandeverything a committee is recommending.But it is also the commissioners’ responsibilityto pass on any pertinent informationto the committees during the decision-makingprocess — not after they’ve reached aconclusion.2010 Ford F150Super Crew XLTDecatur Woman’s ClubQuilt Show & LuncheonOver 100 Quilts To ViewMonday, April 4 • 11:30 am - 2 pmDecatur Church of Christ • FM 51 S & Preskitt Rd.$15 - Luncheon/Quilt Show • $5 - View Quilt Show OnlyReservation by Friday, April 1.

BRIDGEPORTSchool looks to save money ...ontinued from page 1Aaperwork to sign.“I was in private business longnough to know it’s not done until allhe lines are signed and everybody isontractually obligated.”The district has been negotiating withise Electric Co-op to buy back unusednergy, but Bland said the technologys not advanced enough for the districto profit off unused energy.“It’s going to generate enough elecricityon a nice, sunny day that youould turn every light on in the buildng,and it would produce enough eneryfor that,” he said. “It’s going to saves some energy costs.”The energy cost savings will helpith the expected budget shortfall forhe biennium, but Bland said BISDs preparing to weather the two-yeartorm. That includes an informal hirngfreeze.“If people retire, resign, leave, we’reot replacing them right now until wenow exactly where we’re going to windp,” Bland said. “What we’re looking ats how to absorb if someone leaves.“And then, whether it’s adjustingmaintenance schedules to slow thingsdown so we don’t spend as much maintainingbuildings or it could be throughtransportation. We’ll run buses two orthree years longer.”Bland said the district’s past conservativemeasures are allowing them tobe optimistic.“It’s a compliment to the board thatthey have been conservative and thatwe’re positioned well to weather thestorm,” he said. “We know what we canafford. It’s still going to hurt.“We’re going to have to do away withsome things and do some repurposingof existing personnel, but initially, I’mstill cautiously, and or foolishly, optimisticthat we’re not going to have todo that.”No matter how much non-personnelfunding is cut, Bland said 80 percent ofschool districts’ budgets are payroll.“We’re all going to lose some funds,and that’s OK if that’s what happens,”he said. “I don’t agree with it, but showus the rules and we’re going to figureout how to survive it.”E-mail Julie at jneal@wcmessenger.com.WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, March 24, 2011RHOMEMore calling Rhome home ...Continued from page 1Arepresentation from the Ellis Homesteadneighborhood.It can be tough being a newcomer.“I don’t want to get caught up in thestigma of being an Ellis guy,” Graves said.“I’m here for the long haul, and I wanteverybody to benefit.“My first goal is to get a questionnaireout to people in the city. I want to find outwhat people want to see and don’t wantto see with where the city is going.”In respects to preparing the city forgrowth, Graves said it’s important to supportthe police and fire departments.“We need to make sure we are fullyequipping our law enforcement,” he said.“We’ll need them to handle the growthwhen it gets here.”Growth inevitableIt seems like history is repeating itself.In the 1850s, present-day Rhome waslocated at the site where two stagecoachlines crossed.Today, the city is situated in the crosshairs of growth, situated on Texas 114and U.S. 81/287.“Rhome is going to grow,” McBride said.“There is no doubt about it. The economy9Aof today is not the economy of tomorrow.If it’s down today, it will be up tomorrow.Rhome will continue to grow becausepeople have always moved to the outskirtsof town.”He predicts most of the growth willmove in from the east along Texas 114and from the south from U.S. 81/287.There are also other areas ready tobloom.“I think Rolling V will be the next bigdevelopment,” Mayor Obenour said, “althoughit may be a couple of years away.”She also said the quality schools inRhome will continue to draw residents.The Northwest school district ownsproperty near Ellis Homestead. It plansto eventually build a third high schoolthere.“Any time a high school comes, morehousing will come in to accommodate it,”McBride said.City leaders remain optimistic theycan handle the future. But they realize itwill be a challenge to manage the growthproperly and for Rhome to keep its rusticfeel.E-mail Brandon at bevans@wcmessenger.com.MERCHANDISE FOR SALE TRANSPORTATION NOTICESDecatur, 601 W.

He’sonly 20 pounds off the squat record,” Tullous said.“He got 430 at regionals with ease. He can get therecord of 450.

The Bullssenior broke the school record in the first meet of the season and turned in a 14.5 at Sanger March 10.A year ago, shortly after arriving atBridgeport, coach Pete Hart suggested veteran300 hurdler Bryan Vasquez try the 110hurdles for the first time.“I’d never done the high hurdles, but Isaid I’ll try it. It’ll be fun,” he said.Following that suggestion, a month laterVasquez found himself in the Class 3A RegionI final, finishing fifth in 15.38.He’s stayed on that blazing pace this year,running under 15 in all three of his meets.Vasquez started the season by breaking theschool record in the event with a 14.61.“All I can remember is thinking ‘don’t hita hurdle,’” Vasquez said. “When I was doneand they told me 14.6, the first thing thatcame to mind was that I broke the record. Itwas exciting. I wasn’t thinking I’d get it inthe first race of the season.”He’s only improved since then. He ran apersonal-best 14.5 at the Sanger Indian RelaysMarch 10 — a time that would havematched last year’s state champion, MarquiseSmith of Dallas Madison.Hart, who is now the Bridgeport headtrack coach, said Vasquez has put in thework and seen the results from it.“He was really fast last year and ransome good times,” Hart said. “He’s a talentedyoung man with a lot of speed. Thisyear, he’s a lot more dedicated and put inthe time in the hurdles. He’s got speed andthe dedication to go with it.”Continued on page 10ALindsay keeps ruleLady Dragons fall 14-4 in 9-A openerSOFTBALLy RICHARD GREENEAfter a 20-4 start thatanded them a spot in thetate’s Class A top 10, thehico Lady Dragons lookedoised to challenge the LindayLady Knights’ two-yearule as district champions.But the Lady Knightshowed Friday they have nontention of giving up theirhrone, scoring a dominatng14-4 victory in six iningsover seventh-rankedhico at Lindsay in the Disrict9-A opener.Lindsay’s Megan Caillierit two home runs, and theady Knights took advantageof nine Chico errors.“A lot of people wereagainst us,” Caillier said.“We just had to come outhere and prove a point.

As much as I hate tosee you plant new sod onto nutsedge-infestedground, there isn’t much other wayto get your new grass started this year. Youreally might be better advised not to tryto start new grass just now, but to nursewhat you have as best you can. Then, useone of the nutsedge products to reduce thepopulations as much as you can.CROSSWORD SOLUTIONG WMon. - Thurs. 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.GroceryFri. 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.Sat. 7:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.& Grill(catfi sh & music 5 - 8:30 p.m.)Sun. 12:30 - 4 p.m.(Sunday Dinner)940-466-3000www.greenwoodgroceryandgrill.comGOOD MUSIC, GOOD FOODGOOD FRIENDS, GOOD TIMESGreenwoodSpring is bringing new hours forGreenwood Grocery & GrillLOCATED IN DOWNTOWN GREENWOODRick’s Metal Recycling3280 S Hwy 101 • Bridgeport, TX940-683-3770TOP PRICE ACCURATE WEIGHTON ALL METALS• #1 Short Iron $220/ Ton• #2 Short Iron $210/Ton• Long Iron $200/Ton• Tin $200/Ton• Car Bodies w/title $200/Ton• Aluminum Cans 75¢/lb• #1 Copper $3.40/lb• #2 Copper $3.20/lbMon. - Fri. 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. • Sat. 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.THERESIDENCESat Senior CareStore NowOpenASSISTED &INDEPENDENTLIVINGRETIREMENT COMMUNITYDRAPERIESACCESSORIESBEDDINGFURNITUREwww.grandeurdesign.com940-626-2121 940-577-1111106 W.

Women on cyclic hormone regimensmay also have light monthly bleeding. Otherwise, bleeding experiencedby postmenopausal women is abnormal and should be investigated. Inabout ten percent of cases of women who experience bleeding duringmenopause, endometrial cancer is the cause. Bleeding is the first sign ofcancer in the uterine lining, and there is no screening test. Fortunately, ifthis form of cancer is diagnosed and treated early, it is highly curable.At our practice, we are there for you when it’s time to make thoseimportant healthcare decisions. Whether it’s routine pap tests andmammograms or questions about a problem you may be experiencing,our caring staff is here to help.
