Commerce Director of Market-

ing, Talana Morris

Talana Morris joined the Terrell Chamber of Commerce as the new Director of Marketing in June. Be-low is a question and answer with Talana regarding her role with the Chamber. Q: Tell us a little about your job

and what you do?

A: As Director of Marketing, I am responsible for coordinating the marketing eff orts of the Terrrell Chamber of Commerce / CVB and the Terrell Economic Development Corporation, including planning development and implementation of marketing strategies and com-munications. Q: What made you want to work

at the Terrell Chamber of Com-

A: In my past role with a small marketing agency, I had the plea-sure of working with the City of

Terrell and the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum for the last seven years on eff orts to pro-mote Terrell Municipal Airport and the various events hosted there.

An added bonus is I no longer have to commute to Dallas.Q: What do you like the most

Terrell JV tennis finishes third At KaufmanTennis

FRO M STA F F RE P O RT S

Members of the Terrell High School tennis

team competed in the annual Kaufman Fall ju-

nior varsity tennis tournament last Thursday.

The Tigers just missed the second place team

trophy by four points to Cedar Hill. Kaufman

was first in the field of eight that included Cran-

dall, Ferris, Forney, North Forney, Athens, and

Midlothian Heritage.

“We put all our players in doubles or mixed

doubles to help the first year players learn in

their first outing so we had no points in singles

play and were still close” Terrell High School ten-

nis coach Philip Dodd said.

Top finishers for Terrell were freshmen duo in

girls doubles Kacie Roach and Courtney Rosen-

berry who defeated Forney in the first round.

Then the duo defeated Kaufman in the quarter-

finals and another Kaufman team in the semifi-

nals before falling to another Kaufman team in

the finals. The Kaufman varsity team is coming

off a second place state finish in team tennis last

week.In boys doubles, Diego Almendariz and part-

ner DeAndre Barnet lost their first match to

eventual Champion Kaufman then won three

matches on the consolation side over Crandall,

North Forney and Forney to capture the first

place consolation medal.

In mixed doubles, freshmen Paige Clark

and Estevan Hippolito lost their first match to

Kaufman then defeated Crandall and North For-

ney before falling to Kaufman in the consolation

finals.“Everyone did very well and most of the team

was playing in their first ever tournament,” Dodd

said.The team now goes to off-season workouts

with their first spring tournament on Jan 17th.

BY TR AV I S DE T H E R AG E

After an abysmal start that had North

Lamar taking a 13-0 lead, Terrell scored 42

unanswered points to go on to win 42-13 and

be named bi-district champions for the third

year in a row.

The game was played Friday in Terrell

at Memorial Stadium after both schools

couldn’t agree on a neutral site game. Terrell

won a coin toss against North Lamar to de-

termine who would play the bi-district game

at home. By beating North Lamar, Terrell has

won 15 straight games played at Memorial

Stadium dating back to 2014.

Also with the win, Terrell advances to play

Kennedale in the area round which is a week

one rematch that had Kennedale winning

21-20. The game will be played 7:30 p.m. Fri-

day at Eagle Stadium in Desoto. Kennedale

beat Wilmer-Hutchins 63-0 in the bi-district

round last week.

The winner of Terrell and Kennedale will

advance to play the winner of Kaufman and

Midlothian Heritage in regionals.

Terrell being down 13-0 early in the first

quarter against North Lamar was the larg-

est deficit it has faced since being down 31-14

against Kaufman on Sept. 23.

North Lamar received the opening kick

and on its second play, Sam Cowling ran for

a 68-yard touchdown to put North Lamar up

7-0. Then on Terrell’s first play of the game,

the ball was snapped over the head of Ter-

rell’s senior quarterback Tiyea Zanders and

the ball was recovered in the end-zone by

North Lamar. With that, the Panthers took

a 13-0 lead after the point after attempt was

blocked.“I don’t know if I’ve seen a worst start,”

Terrell head coach Mike Shields said.

But the Tigers quickly rebounded offen-

sively and defensively to only limit North

Lamar to those two big scoring plays, for the

rest of the game.

“We stepped it up,” Shields said. “You come

off an emotional win over Van and I knew we

weren’t going to be [playing] at our top but I

didn’t expect to start out like that either.”

Why Terrell won: Ter-

rell scored 42 unanswered

points after a bad start to

the game. The Tigers scored

on five of their first seven

possessions and North La-

mar couldn’t stop the po-

tent Terrell ground attack

as the Tigers rushed for 320

yards while averaging 9.4

yards per carry.

What this means: Terrell

has won its third straight

bi-district championship

by beating North Lamar

42-13. The Tigers advance

to play in the area round

against Kennedale at 7:30

p.m. Friday at Eagle Sta-

dium in Desoto.

Players of the game: Ter-

rell senior running back

Elijah McQueen scored four

touchdowns and rushed for

131 yards on 13 carries. Ter-

rell senior quarterback Ti-

yea Zanders rushed for two

touchdowns and had 124

Vrzalik

questions

purchasingBY P H I L M A J O R

KAUFMAN — Kaufman

County’s purchasing policy

once again was the target of

outgoing Precinct 1 County

Commissioner Jimmy Joe

Vrzalik on Monday.

Vrzalik questioned the

handling of the project to re-

place carpet in the Kaufman

County courthouse annex,

calling it a violation of the

county’s purchasing policy.

It marked the second time

in recent weeks he focused

on that policy, previously

questioning the purchase of

temporary storage buildings

at the county’s south campus.

Vrzalik wanted to know

whether the bid to replace

the carpet would be honored,

since that project has stalled

— pending asbestos abate-

ment for the old floor tiles

underneath the carpet.

He also asked what the

penalty is for violating the

policy.He shared documents with

fellow commissioners of esti-

mates and a purchase order,

which he said was issued on

Sept. 30, the day after a re-

vised estimate was received.

While the total estimate

was $27,807 — above the

threshold for expenses to be

brought before commission-

ers for approval — the pur-

chase order for $21,399 was

for the materials only.

To the question of what the

penalty is and who enforces

the policy, Rebecca Lundgren

with the district attorney’s of-

fice said she had not seen the

information prior to Monday

and had not had time to re-

view it.She and fellow attorney

Karen Badgley invited Vrzalik

to visit their office anytime

with his concerns.

District Attorney Erleigh

Norville Wiley said her office

would be glad to schedule a

meeting with Vrzalik.

Commissioners then ta-

bled the item to be reviewed

at a later meeting, once Vrza-

lik had a chance to meet with

the attorneys.

Purchasing agent Lisa

Callahan said the purchase

order was issued Sept. 30 —

the last day of the 2016 budget

— so that the carpet could be

bought in that budget cycle.

Maintenance supervisor

Bobby Bridges said the hold

up on completing the proj-

ect is finding time when the

county offices can be closed

long enough for the asbestos

While it may have gotten off to a

slow start, Small Business Saturday

Shop at Home was a success for Ter-

rell’s downtown businesses on Sat-

urday — for the most part.

Morgan Miller of Farmers Insur-

ance saw a big increase in traffic

compared to the 2015 event.

“I am real pleased with the foot

traffic,” Morgan said on Saturday

morning as musicians played at a

couple of locations along Moore Av-

enue. “We have had a lot more peo-

ple that at ArtWalk.”

He estimated his office had seen

about 45 people as of 12:30 p.m.

Morgan was especially pleased

people were coming in groups of

two and three.

Two of the musicians performing

at one point in front of his insur-

ance office were Dave Washburn

and Kevin Curtis.

At one point they had a small

crowd encircling them.

Down the street from them were

Willie B. and Annie Benjamin.

One of the key mandates that arose

out of the Terrell TwentyFifteen meet-

ings nearly four years ago was the city’s

image.

Participants in the meetings, which

were designed to learn what members

of the community wanted Terrell to

look like by 2015, said they wanted

clean, beautiful entryways to the city.

The entryways included State

The Terrell Police Depart-

vision is going

ch a new community-

oriented program on Sept. 1.

It is called Citizen Appre-

ciation Program, and Buc-

ee’s, QT and Whataburger,

are joining the patrol divi-

sion to recognize good deeds

in the community.

“The GCAP program is a

simple program where police

officers, who recognize good

citizens during their daily

shifts, can contact the citi-

zen, recognize their contri-

bution to the community and

then give them a simple gift

of coupons for free drinks,

meals and even a “Beaver”

bracelet,” TPD Chief Jody L.

Lay said. “The purpose of the

program is to allow police a

positive contact with citizens

who exercise safe and de-

fensive driving mannerisms

while driving, do a good job

alerting police to suspicious

behavior observed in their

neighborhood or who other-

wise simply do a good deed

in the city, especially those

that make the police depart-

ment’s job easier.” Officers

will be handing out the gifts

to individual citizens while

supplies last, according to

Lay.The police department

will be contacting other

businesses in the area to al-

low others the opportunity

to participate, as they deem

appropriate.

“The Terrell Police Depart-

ment, as well as the partici-

pating businesses, are very

Volunteers with the E!

Terrell Entertainment series

reminisced recently on the

program’s 14-year history

as they stuffed envelopes to

send to a list of potential sub-

scribers that has grown year

by year.The series now encom-

passes six shows throughout

the year plus reciprocal ar-

rangements with four other

communities for additional

concerts.

Subscribers can take in a

wide variety of performances

in Terrell and expand their

horizons further through the

reciprocity agreements.

The series has come a long

way since that first year of

about 400 subscribers and

four shows.

It was spawned from the

Terrell Alliance for Education

and the Arts, when the need

for a performance wing was

identified, according to Dana

Skelton.The community had a

perfect new facility with the

Performing Arts Center at

Terrell High School.

That first year, a commit-

tee of volunteers – many of

whom remain active – spread

out, borrowing from any

mailing lists they could get

their hands on and passing

the word to friends and as-

sociates.

Suzy McCook noted that

the fact the group did now

know what it was doing was a

plus, because they were able

to try different things.

Several traveled to a con-

ference in Dallas for the bur-

geoning community concert

business, to learn the ropes.

After their investigation,

the group decided to try to

set up community concerts

in Terrell.

Carol Ohmann, with what

is now known as Oldcastle

Building Envelope, secured a

$100,000 grant from the But-

ler Foundation that included

$40,000 as seed money for E!

Terrell.The money was used for

the first four years, and by

then the program was self-

sufficient.

The program had grown

to 600 to 700 subscribers.

And just as important – if not

more so – community pa-

trons had stepped up.

As Skelton pointed out,

patrons’ contributions sup-

ply about half the annual

budget, a figure that is well

above what other communi-

ties with similar programs

report.The program’s reach also

spread outside Terrell.

Less than half the sub-

scription solicitations go to

Terrell addresses, said Sarah

Kegerreis, part of the original

group.She has been a driving

force in marketing the series.

Part of the draw is the val-

ue of an annual subscription.

For just $50, subscribers can

see six high quality perfor-

mances in Terrell, in addition

to the other opportunities in

other communities.

Some of the individual

shows would cost $50 each,

or more, at other venues.

And on top of that, the

children of Terrell benefit

through the education out-

reach the program provides.

The performers typically

have a daytime performance

for school children that is in-

teractive.

And the lighting and

sound at the PAC is provided

by Terrell High School stu-

dents, who gain valuable

experience. And the reviews

from the performers give the

students top marks.

The performers are well

cared for while they are in

Terrell, McCook said.

While one group of vol-

unteers handles the behind-

the-scenes duties such as

promotions and solicita-

tions, another group is active

on performance nights with

seating, programs, assisting

the artists and such.

The program has been so

successful that E! Terrell has

been used as a model for oth-

er communities. “People are

amazed with the community

support,” Skelton said.

He noted one key compo-

nent of E! Terrell’s continuing

success is that it has reached

out to a younger audience

with some of its shows.

But it all goes back to that

first group.

“The people who were in

it initially were hard work-

ing people whom you could

count on,” Skelton said.

information and to subscribe

for the upcoming season.

There is a discount for

early renewal.

The wage increase was

approved unanimously by

Kaufman County commis-

sioners Monday when they

approved a line item transfer

of $247,455 from the General

Fund Budget.

Kaufman County Sheriff

David Byrnes lobbied the

commissioners for the pay

increase, which was bud-

geted for last year.

“It’s hoped to have an

impact on people leaving,”

Byrnes said.

The sheriff told commis-

sioners that the turnover rate

in his office is largely due to

the fact that officers can earn

more in surrounding coun-

ties. The transfer will result in

an $850 annual base pay in-

crease for employees, or $70

trial returned a guilty verdict.

Brownlow found guilty of capital murder

BY GA RY E . L I N D S L E Y

Silvia Sanchez clasped her hands together and looked

above as if giving thanks when the jury in the Charles E.

Brownlow capital murder trial returned to the courtroom on

Thursday morning with a verdict of guilty of capital murder.

It only took about 20 minutes for the jury find Brownlow

guilty of slaying Sanchez’s fiancé, Luis Gerardo Leal-Carillo,

22, a clerk at Ali’s Market on the night of Oct. 28, 2013.

The jury was sent to deliberate at 9:25 a.m. and informed

the court shortly before 9:50 a.m. it had a verdict after a nearly

weeklong trial.

Court started an hour early at 8 a.m. and 422nd Judicial

District Court Judge B. Michael Chitty read a lengthy charge

to the jury, instructing the jurors that they had three choices

from which to choose after hearing the evidence in the trial.

Jurors could find Brownlow not guilty, guilty of capital

murder or not guilty by reason of insanity.

Brownlow was indicted in 2013 for the slaying of five people

during a nightlong murder spree on Oct. 28, 2013.

Brownlow, 36 at the time of his arrest, murdered his moth-

er, 61-year-old Mary Brownlow at her Stallings Street home

and set her body on fire; his 55-year-old aunt, Belinda Young

City

Council evaluating sales tax allocations

BY GA RY E. L I N D S L E Y

It is that time of year again when organi-

zations write lengthy letters of justification

about why they need a certain amount of

money.

The Terrell City Council, by the time you

read this on Saturday, will have reviewed the

proposed requests from 11 organizations and

allocations of the hotel/motel tax revenues.

The council is going to make decisions on

the allotments at a future meeting.

The requests by the organizations and sug-

gested allocations by the council are as fol-

lows: Lake Country Productions, $16,562 last

year while it is requesting $27,500 this year

and the suggested allocation is $22,916.07;

The Vagabond Players, $1,843 last year, re-

quest is $4,200 and the suggested allocation

is $3,559.18; E! Terrell Entertainment Series,

$22,000 last year, request is $25,000 and

the recommended allocation is $23,090.64;

NorthEast Texas Fine Art Alliance, $2,394 last

year, request is $3,525 and the recommenda-

tion is $3,152.95; Terrell ISD Performing Arts

Sales tax revenue, an indicator of retail

sales and overall economic health, continues

to climb in Kaufman County.

The September report released by the state

comptroller’s office shows sales in Kaufman

they

months of the year to $15,980,630, a gain of

12.8 percent over last year when $14,166,140

was received.

The 12 cities that collect a local sales tax

are ahead of last year’s pace, ranging from

7.83 percent in Crandall to 76.2 percent in

Rosser.Crandall, Combine and Scurry did report

less revenue for the month of September than

$224,758

when $202,501 was generated. For the year

Kaufman has banked $2,025,181 compared

to $1,824,338 through September 2015. The

$200,000 gain is also at 11 percent.

The September report from the comptrol-

ler’s office represents primarily taxes on re-

tail sales collected by merchants in July and

reported to the state in August.

The state collects 6.25 percent on all sales,

and local cities collect an additional 1 to 2

percent.

Kaufman County cities that collect 2 per-

cent include Kaufman, Forney, Terrell, Ma-

bank and Crandall.

Kemp collects 1.75 percent. Post Oak Bend,

Combine and Talty collect 1.5 percent and

the rest collect 1 percent.

Terrell received $789,177 in September,

barely ahead of the $786,939 in September

2015. For the year, Terrell is up by 14.46 per-

Sewer

contract

to riseBY PH I L MA J O R

The fee to renew an annual

maintenance contract for On

Site Sewer Facilities is going

up for Kaufman County resi-

dents.The fee, which was set at

$10, is being raised to $25.

And that still makes it a bar-

gain compared to area coun-

ties.Residents who have septic

systems that require annual

maintenance must register

their contracts with private

firms, which are maintained

in a county database.

The contracts are handled

by the county public works

department, which is also

responsible for inspecting

new systems when they are

installed.

Kaufman County commis-

sioners approved the increase

Monday, effective Jan. 1.

Commissioners held the

second of two public hear-

ings on the proposed county

property tax rate. The rate is

going up by 1.25 cents and

will be voted on Monday to

take effect Oct. 1.

The increase is to repay

transportation bonds ap-

proved by voters in 2013. The

new tax rate is 58.87 cents per

$100 valuation. No residents

spoke at the hearing.

Commissioners agreed to

seek a $275,000 grant through

the Texas Community Block

Grant program.

The longtime grant pro-

gram was only recently made

available to counties for road

and drainage repairs. Should

the county be successful, it

would be responsible for a 5

percent match ($13,750).

Museum lands another trainer

BY GA RY E . L I N D S L E Y

Vivienne Taylor listened for years to her

father’s stories about the flying school

in America where he trained to fly mis-

sions for England during World War II.

Her father, Joseph Whalley, was a member of Course 26

and trained on the AT-6 at the No. 1 British Flying Training School in Ter-

rell during the war.

Whalley was one of more than 2,000 Royal Air Force cadets who ven-

tured to America to learn how to fly and then return to England to fight

against the Germans.

Vivienne, who is from Kent, England, said her parents often went back

to the states for the course reunions after World War II.

So she and her husband, Michael, decided to come to the states. And

one of their stops was at the museum, which has an enormous amount

of history about the cadets, training, the AT-6, clothing, weapons, maps

and pictures.

“It makes me cry,” Vivienne said about seeing the history depicted

in the museum on Wednesday. “The [AT-6, nicknamed “Miss Pauline”]

brought back memories. It is what my father flew.”

But the couple, which met the museum board’s president, Rudy Bowl-

ing, while touring the museum, was astonished to see what had just ar-

rived.

Bowling took them to the museum’s other hangar where a Provost, a

British trainer, was being unloaded.

“It is fortunate,” Michael said. He had never seen the British trainer

before. “We weren’t expecting to see this.”

The Provost was donated to the museum by Darryl and Gene Cope-

land, according to No. 1 BFTS Museum board director Jim Evans.

The plane, XM461 T3A, has traveled a long way before arriving in the

states, and then Texas.

It was delivered to Shawbury, England, on May 24, 1960. Nearly three

years later, on Jan. 14, 1963, it was put into storage.

M. Legend Brown’s new movie

BY GA RY L I N D S L E Y

Silk edged his sporty

white Mercedes under the

State Highway 34 bridge, out

of sight from the traffic pass-

ing by on U.S. Highway 80.

Getting out of the car, his

nerves on edge, Silk lit a cigar

as his right-hand man, Omar,

got out of the passenger seat.

A gun was visible in

Omar’s waistband as he and

Silk waited — waited for their

drug deal to go down. Omar

anxiously puffed on his cigar.

They did not have to wait

for long. A motorcycle roared

into view and drove under

the overpass, followed by a

Chevrolet.

The motorcyclist was

joined by two men from the

Chevrolet, one decked out in

cowboy duds — Boss Hog.

Omar went to the pas-

senger side of the Mercedes

and leaned inside. When he

did not immediately reap-

pear, the trio got anxious and

brandished their guns. Silk

pulled his out as well and

told them to chill.

He then called to Omar

and asked what was taking

so long.Omar emerged moments

later with a duffle bag and

he went to the trio and ex-

changed the bag for a case.

The motorcyclist got back

on his chopper while Boss

Hogg and his partner got

back into the Chevrolet and

left.The drug deal was no

real, but it was a scene from

the newest M. Legend Brow

faith-based film, “A Hear

That Forgives.”

The film, written by Ke

Jenkins, is being directe

by Brown and produced b

day night at J.J. Pearce High

School in Richardson.

The win advances Ter-

rell (17-13, 11-1) to the area

round of the class 4A boys

basketball playoffs where it

will face Argyle. Argyle (27-4,

9-1) defeated Dallas Wilmer-

Hutchins on Tuesday night to

advance.

Terrell’s five seniors,

Keyontae Brownlow, Ter-

rance Boyd, Omari Robin-

son, Alex Mata and Jarvis

Walker combined to score 50

points against Celina.

“It was a good game. It was

a good game for these kids

to come in here to get a win.

These kids are a part of the

change and hopefully we can

still build off of it once they

leave,” Mason said.

Terrell’s bench scored

17 points with sophomore

guard Khars Montgomery

scoring 10 of those points.

“Most of these boys have

been playing junior varsity

like Pipkins, Montgomery

and Burns and they came in

and did good stuff. It’s good

for Terrell in the future,”

Mason said. “We got in foul

trouble with Jarvis Walker

but Montgomery stepped up

real big for us. That’s what it’s

all about, having someone

step up.”Mata led the team in scor-

ing with 16 and Brownlow

had 14 points.

Terrell scored consistently

throughout the game but its

damage on Celina was done

in the second quarter as the

Tigers outscored Celina 18-8.

The first quarter was much

closer with five lead changes.

Terrell went on a 10-0 run

with the score tied at 12-12

to take a 22-12 lead midway

through the second quarter.

Terrell took a 34-20 lead

into halftime.

Celina put up a great fight

in the third quarter as they

outscored Terrell 21-16 be-

hind a great showing from

Celina freshman No. 5 Kar-

son Stastny.

“They played well. No. 5

is a freshman and he’s tough.

He did some good stuff,” Ma-

son said.

ty

Job Title: Executive Director

In what roles have you volunteered

with the Chamber? President’s Club Member, Board Member

(twice), Vice Chair of Tourism, President’s

Club Award (four times), Chair of Auction

(two years), Chair of Heritage Jubilee (two

years), and more.

Tell us a little about your job and what

you do. I just started May 1, but what I know is the

United Way’s mission is to provide health,

education and income opportunities for

those in Kaufman County. We work with

over 10 agencies to provide all these servic-

es. We offered 10 scholarships for students

in Kaufman County this year. We have one

major project which will be revealed at the

“Play Date in the Park” on Saturday, August

10th which the City of Terrell is helping

with. We have two fundraisers:

1. The Lending Library which helps chil-

dren & adults have books at hand, especially

during the summer.

2. The Veteran’s Day Color Fun Run,

which is our signature fundraiser that will

be held on November 9th at the Terrell Me-

morial Park. It will be in conjunction with

Travis Calhoun’s presentation of a female

statue to honor all women who have served

in the military.

My job is to interact with the community

and partner agencies, fundraise, fundraise,

and fundraise. I also set up events, get

people in touch with someone who can help

them, and try to get the community involved

with the United Way to keep this progress

going. God gave me the gift of service and I

try to use it however He sees fi t and I believe

that’s why I have this job.

How has volunteering at the Chamber

helped you professionally? I started volunteering about 40 years ago

and I have met so many wonderful people

who now let me in their doors and donate so

generously to whatever cause I may be ask-

ing them for!

What are a few of your favorite local

businesses? Fat Daddy’s—best catfi sh & shrimp

The 38th annual Terrell Chamber of Commerce

Civic Auction will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19 at

the Cowboy Collections Arena on Highway 148 just

and to enhance the quality of life for those in our com-

munity. This year’s theme is Sunsets & Spurs.

Throughout the year, the Chamber works diligently

to collect donations of all kinds to support the com-

munity. Terrell Chamber of Commerce’s goal for

2019 is to reach $175,000.

“The civic auction is the only fundraiser for the Ter-

rell Chamber of Commerce. We use the money raised

to turn back and put into the community for scholar-

ships, events like the July Fourth fi reworks display,

to support small businesses, and the school district.

Without our volunteers and sponsors, we couldn’t

pull it off,” said Carlton Tidwell, president of Terrell

Chamber of Commerce. It takes about 200 volunteers

year-round to make this fundraising effort a success.

Doors will open at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served

at 6 p.m. The silent auction starts at 5:30 p.m. and the

live auction starts at 7:30 p.m. You will be able soon
