By David KapitanStaff WriterA little less than two
months after its closuredue to damages sufferedwhen a Union Pacifictrain pulling 101 cars col-lided with a disabledtanker truck hauling fuel,the Wills Point CityCouncil and Union Pa-cific came to a decisionTuesday night on the fu-ture of the Lybrand Rail-road Crossing (alsoknown as the Ash Cross-ing).
Council membersopened up discussion onthe crossing by allowingaudience members thatsigned up for public fo-rum to address the mat-ter.
Chester Hall advisedcouncil members andthose in attendance thathe distributed flyersaround the Wills Pointarea (in local businesses),requesting signatures ofthose against the closure
Council Moves To Reopen Lybrand Crossingof the crossing.
Over the course of the“six-seven days” the fly-ers were out, Hall col-lected 1,647 signatures.
He noted, “TheLybrand Crossing is avital artery for this city,”adding, “I’m just pray-ing that you’ll [the citycouncil] all be in agree-ment.”
Other speakers echoedthe sentiment, adding,“Once the crossing isgone, it won’t comeback.”
Andrew Hudanish,manager of Industry andPublic Projects for UnionPacific, also made a pre-sentation to the councilon Tuesday night, outlin-ing the city’s options onthe Lybrand Crossing.
Hudanish advisedcouncil members thatUnion Pacific is currentlyin the midst of severalprojects in the area, in-cluding upgrading thecrossings and adding
new siding outside oftown for trains to pass.
Hudanish noted that,according to formulasused by both Union Pa-cific and the Texas De-partment of Transporta-tion (TxDOT), a town of3,500 people normallyonly requires two cross-ings.
Union Pacific andTxDOT had previouslyexamined Wills Point,and considered the elimi-nation of the 5th StreetCrossing.
The train-tractor traileraccident on August 23,however, brought theLybrand Crossing “intothe spotlight.”
Hudanish said if coun-cil members voted tokeep the Lybrand Cross-ing closed, the city wouldreceive $160,000 fromTxDOT and an extra$20,000 from Union Pa-cific.
The money fromTxDOT could only be

By David KapitanStaff WriterThe future of the Blue-
bird Festival wasclouded this week, afterthe Wills Point CityCouncil voted to rescindthe permission it hadgiven to the BluebirdFestival Committee thissummer to utilize eitherthe 4th Street/downtownarea or Lester Park as thesite of the festival.
The Wills Point CityCouncil first heard fromthe Bluebird Committeeduring its July meeting.At that time, ColletteShelton, president of theWills Point BluebirdCommittee, made a pre-sentation to city councilasking their blessing topursue a move of theevent to Lester Park.
As part of her presen-tation, Shelton providedthe council with a list ofpossible sponsors thatcould be gained from amove to the park, includ-ing Bass Pro Shops,which would sponsor akid fish event.
Shelton added that theopen spaces of the park
Future Of Bluebird FestivalUp In The Air
would allow for an ex-panded carnival, withmore rides for teenagersand adults, and other at-tractions.
Shelton indicated thatinterviews with localbusiness owners and exitpolling from last year’sfestival had shown apreference for the move.
Councilman MikeJones, the lone dissentingvote in allowing themove to Lester Park, wasfirm in his desire for thefestival to stay down-town, stressing that anymove would take awayfrom the festival’s origi-nal intent and hurt localbusinesses.
Fellow council mem-ber Paul Addison ex-pressed mixed emotionsabout the potential move,but ultimately voted infavor of allowing theBluebird Committee topursue a move to LesterPark.
The city council even-tually approved the Blue-bird Committee’s pro-posal, with Jones castingthe lone dissenting vote.
Numerous calls and
complaints made duringthe public forum portionof the September coun-cil meeting promptedcouncil members to re-visit the potential moveof the Bluebird Festivalat its October meeting.
On Tuesday night,council members askedShelton for an update onthe planning and spon-sorships for the 2013 fes-tival.
Shelton advised thatmeetings and conversa-tions between Oncor,which would provideelectricity at the event,Wills Point Director ofPublic Works ScottDrake, and the WillsPoint city electrician hadtaken place but all otherprogress had beenstopped due to the harshcommunity backlash theBluebird Committee hadreceived.
Jones once againraised concerns aboutloss of revenue and lossof exposure to down-town business that mov-ing the festival would

THANK YOU
CHESTER HALL
I would like to thank the city councilmembers for their consideration in re-opening the Ash-Lybrand crossing. Iwould also like to thank all of those whoparticipated in the In-put Survey regard-ing the crossing. This is a great com-munity filled with great people and Ithank you all.

Lybrand Street, but wereadvised that the citywould have to fund theproject entirely withoutany assistance fromTxDOT or Union Pa-cific.
Council membersRandy Adams, MikeJones, and Paul Addisonall echoed a similar sen-timent, raising publicsafety concerns and thepossible need for fire oremergency serviceswhen a train is parked onthe tracks.
After more discussion,council members unani-mously voted for theLybrand Crossing to be
rebuilt and reopened.Many in attendance werepleased with the deci-sion, giving councilmembers a round of ap-plause.
The timetable for thecrossing to be rebuilt andreopened was tentativelyset at one year. The firststep will be for the cityand Union Pacific tocome together on anagreement about mainte-nance and liability on fu-ture issues.
The crossing will alsoneed to be constructed ata Union Pacific facilitybefore being put on aschedule to be installed.
FESTIVALfrom page 1A
bring.Shelton countered Jones by noting the Commit-
tee had plans for dedicating a portion of the festivalgrounds at Lester Park to local businesses to selltheir merchandise or advertise their businesses.
Jones also raised concerns about the potentialdamage done to the park, especially if it were torain during the festival.
Addison disputed the damage that could be doneto the park, citing that the circus had previously usedthe grounds without causing any lingering damage.
After Jones reiterated his desire for the BluebirdFestival to remain on the brick streets, Shelton ad-vised the council that members of the BluebirdCommittee had already decided to not hold theBluebird Festival on the bricks (and find an alter-nate venue) if the Lester Park option was takenaway.
Mike Jones, Oscar Rogers, and Randy Adamsvoted in favor of rescinding the Lester Park option,with John Pope voting against and Paul Addisonabstaining.
Pope explained his vote against by noting that hedidn’t feel it was the city’s place to dictate terms toprivate organizations like the Bluebird Festival Com-mittee.
By David KapitanStaff WriterIt took nearly three
hours, but the WillsPoint City Council fi-nally completed its busyOctober agenda. Themain focus of the meet-ing, outside of theLybrand Crossing andBluebird Festival, cen-tered on the collapsedsewer line under 4thStreet.
Discussion on thesewer line opened withMayor Deby Frye up-dating council memberson the status of a Com-munity Resource GroupLoan for funding of thecity’s sewer project.
Frye said the city ini-tially failed to qualify,but further work on thenumbers put the city inposition to borrow$188,500.
The closing on theloan is scheduled forOctober 19, with the re-payment plan of theloan costing the city$25,999.40 per year.
Allen Ross ofSchaumberg and Polk,Inc. followed Frye’s pre-sentation by outliningupdates made to theprojects plans since theSeptember councilmeeting.
Ross said original es-timates for repairing thecollapsed sewer linewould cost the city$358,868. Instead of us-ing an open cut methodalong the entire length ofthe collapsed line, Rosssought a revised bid thatwould use mostly direc-tional drilling.
Directional drillingwould allow the brickstreets to remain open,limiting the impact ontraffic throughout thecity. Ross advised thatthe revised cost has beenestimated at $308,442.
Once started, work onthe project would runapproximately 60 days.Council members werealso advised that theWills Point EDC willmeet later this month(once the city receives itsletter of commitment let-ter from the lender), dis-cussing the possibilityhelping to fund theproject.

By David KapitanSports EditorPRINCETON – The
Wills Point Tigers merci-fully finished off the non-district portion of theirschedule on Friday night,falling to undefeatedPrinceton by a score of51-6. Wills Point fell to2-4 overall on the season,adding a third lopsidedloss to their resume (theTigers also lost toPittsburg 46-15 and Can-ton 62-38) entering dis-trict play.
Princeton began Fri-day night on offense,wasting little time on theway to the end zone.Steady running by quar-terback Jourdan Blake,running back N’kealBailey, and a 22-yardcompletion to JakariDillard put the Panthersdeep into Wills Point ter-ritory.
Blake scored on a 4-yard keeper less than two
Princeton Builds Up Early Lead, Cruises In 51-6 Over Wills Pointminutes into the game,putting Princeton up 6-0.A bad snap on the extrapoint attempt led to afailed conversion at-tempt.
On their first posses-sion, Wills Point turnedto their running attack.Carries by JaquaveonMaxie and ChasePemberton put the Tigerson the move, but a costlyfumble returned posses-sion back to Princeton.
Beginning the drive attheir own 41-yard line,Princeton utilized thelegs of C.J. Bryant andthe arm of Blake to movethe ball back into Tigerterritory. On a first downand ten play, Blake com-pleted a 34-yard passplay to David McKinziedown to the Wills Point3-yard line. Bryantfound the end zone on thefollowing play for aquick, 12-0 Princetonadvantage. The follow-
ing two-point conversionattempt failed.
Down 12 points lessthan 6 minutes into thegame, Wills Point tookpossession of the footballon their own 20-yardline. A big 19-yard runby Maxie seemed topoint the Tigers in theright direction, but theWills Point offensestruggled to maintain anyconsistency.
Wills Point was forcedto return possession toPrinceton, via a punt,with 5:43 left in the firstquarter.
For the third time in thegame, Princeton wastedlittle time moving the balltowards the Tiger endzone. Runs by Blake,and Bryant, and comple-tions to Jakari Dillard andN’keal Bailey putPrinceton back on thedoorstep of more points.Blake completed a 27-yard touchdown pass towide receiver MarquisThomas for an 18-0 ad-vantage.
Wills Point andPrinceton proceeded totrade possessions, clos-ing out the first quarterwithout either team mak-ing another dent in thescoreboard.
After the Tigers failedto put together a scoringdrive with their first pos-session of the secondquarter, Princeton re-found its offensivegroove. Runs by Mar-quis Thomas, Blake, andBryant put the ball backinto Wills Point territory.Following an 8-yardcompletion from Blaketo Bailey, Thomas ex-ploded for a 32-yardtouchdown run. Follow-ing the missed extrapoint, Princeton was 24-0.
Down big, Wills Pointwould put together itslone scoring drive of thenight on its ensuing pos-session. Completionsfrom Chase Pembertonto Jah Golden and TreSmith kept the Tigers of-fense moving forward.
Wills Point drove theball down to the Panthers
7-yard line, were tworuns by Maxie and a diveby Pemberton put WillsPoint on the scoreboard.The extra point attemptwas missed wide left,making he score 24-6with 4:14 left in the firsthalf.
On the following pos-session, the Princeton of-fense looked to keep upits red-hot start againstthe Tigers. Thanks to thearm and legs of Blake,Princeton once againdrove the ball deep intoWills Point territory, buta CJ Bryant fumble wasrecovered by the Tigersdefense.
Wills Point seemed toget back into the ballgame when Pembertonhooked up with TreSmith on a 71-yardtouchdown pass, but theTigers were flagged forhaving too many men onthe field. The Wills Pointoffense failed to advancethe ball after the penalty,punting the ball back toPrinceton with 1:34 leftin the half.
The Panthers effec-tively delivered theknock out punch over thenext 1:30, scoring threetouchdowns for an insur-mountable halftime ad-vantage.
Princeton scored on itsfirst play from scrim-mage after the punt, withBlake completing a 40-
yard touchdown pass toThomas. A successfulextra point put the Pan-thers up 31-6.
Wills Point fumbledthe ball back to Princetonon the following kickoff,giving the Panthers ex-cellent field position.
Once again ridingBlake’s arm, Princetonadded more points whenhe hooked up withJakari Dillard for a 16-yard touchdown with 21seconds left in the half.Another successful extrapoint put the Princetonlead at 38-6.
The Panthers kickedthe ball deep, and wereonce again rewarded bya Tiger fumble. Princetonrecovered with 8 secondsleft in the half, deep inWills Point territory. ThePanthers attempted a des-peration heave as timeexpired on their next playfrom the 31-yard line, buta Wills Point passing in-terference penalty gavethem new life.
Given a free play and15-yards due to the pen-alty, Princeton convertedon yet another first halftouchdown pass fromBlake to Dillard. ThePanthers added the extrapoint for a 44-6 lead head-ing into halftime.
Princeton played withless urgency in the sec-ond half, coasting to aneasy 51-6 victory over
the struggling Wills PointTigers.
One bright spot for theTigers was running backJaquaveon Maxie, whorushed for 126 yards on20 carries during thegame.
Coach Kevin Garvinstated, “Once again, itwas more us than them.We missed too many tack-les and we made toomany offensive miscues.”
Wills Point will beginits district slate on Friday,October 12 at homeagainst Quinlan. Friday’sgame will also markhomecoming weekendfor the Tigers.
Garvin outlined the for-mula for the Tigers suc-cess, stating, “The start ofdistrict is the big thing forus. We need to step upand execute. We need totake care of the footballon offensive and tacklewell on defense. Our spe-cial teams are going toneed to follow assign-ments.”
Garvin continued, “Wemay have a lineman ortwo out for this game,possible even a receiver.Our quarterback [ChasePemberton] has gottenexperience in non-districtgames – he’s going tohave to step up his game.On defense, we’ll belooking for Elijah[Roberson] to lead andother players to step up.”

The Van Zandt CountyHumane Society is en-tering the holiday sea-son in full swing.Jordana Kinzie, presi-dent of the organiza-tion, outlined their plansfor the fourth quarter ofthe year.
“We have recentlyc o m p l e t e d t w ofundraisers, and we arehappy to say they weregreat successes. In earlySeptember we held abarbecue dinner andfundraiser in Edom withthe help of Dr. Collinsof Edom VeterinaryClinic. There was deli-cious food and lots ofdoor prizes and auctionitems. We would like tothank the JBOWSgroup of Edgewood fortheir donation of abeautiful cat quilt. PaulaHodge of Grand Saline,a fine artist, donated anoriginal painting,”Kinzie said. “The citi-zens were very gener-ous with their dona-tions, and with the auc-

tion items they bid on.We all had a great time,especially with the mu-sic of Chase and theNew South. We arelooking forward to do-ing it again next year.”
“On September 29,we held a Blessing ofthe Animals with St.Justin EpiscopalChurch in Canton. Thisis a great annual eventfor St. Justin’s; they al-ternate our group eachyear with CLAW. Inspite of the rainy day,we had a good turnoutand many animals wereblessed. We thankCarolyn Davis, coordi-nator for the church,who worked very hardto make this a success-ful event. And we aregrateful to Father RonStudenny for his hom-ily and prayers.”
Next on the list for therescue group is the an-nual Thanksgivingbake sale.
“This is an event weall look forward to.
Many of us enjoy bak-ing, and this is a greatway to indulge thathobby and help thecommunity with theirholiday meals. Thisyear we will be at AceHardware on Highway243 in Canton, a newlocation for us. The salewill take place on theSaturday beforeThanksgiving, Novem-ber 17. There will belots of goodies avail-able,” she continued.
Another annualfundraiser for the orga-nization is Photos withSanta, to be held De-cember 8 at Petsmart inTyler.
“People will bringtheir pets dressed inholiday finery and theyare so much fun to workwith,” continuedKinzie. “We usuallyhave standing roomonly for this event.People love to show offtheir dogs and catsdressed as angels orelves.”
VZCHS is non-profitand all funds raised godirectly to the care of theanimals.
“If we didn’t havefundraisers and dona-tions, we wouldn’t beable to do what we do,”said Kinzie. “Propercare for the animals,many of whom are sickwhen they come to us,is an expensive propo-sition. We willinglycare for them all, and weneed financial help todo this. We are alwaysgrateful to the membersof the community, theveterinarians, and ourmembers. It’s hardwork, and sometimesheartbreaking, but therewards are great. Find-ing the right foreverhome for a formerlyabused puppy, healing acat who suffered at thehands of her formerowners, mending thebroken bones of onewho was tossed out ofa moving vehicle – thisis what we have chosento do, and we wouldn’tdo anything else.”

Funeral services for Vern Dailey, aka“Muffin”, 83, of Wills Point, were held at2 p.m., Sunday, October 7, 2012, at Hiett’sLyBrand Chapel in Wills Point, TX, withDr. Billy Watson officiating.
Burial followed at White Rose Cem-etery.
Vern passed away Thursday, October4, 2012, in Wills Point.
Vernon Augustus Dailey, was born inAlba, TX, on September 12, 1929, to Rob-ert and RosaLie Dowdy Dailey. He gradu-ated from Emory High School and at-tended a Commercial Art School. Vern married JoyceRidenhour and they made their home in the DallasMetroplex. Joyce preceded him in death and he later mar-ried Jimmie Nabors. He and Jimmie moved to Wills Pointto make their home in 1974. Jimmie also preceded Vernin death.
For as long as most of his friends can remember, VernDailey has been “the legendary Vern Dailey.” It makesyou wonder: How long does a legend get to be a legend?Vern has been one for decades now.
Most of Vern’s legendary activities probably don’t showup when you Google him. Still, you get a lot of highlightswhen you key in this 80-year-old’s name. Vern was a staron a local Dallas television network. While not as well-known as Jerry Haynes, Mr. Peppermint of “The Mr.Peppermint Show,” Vern was likely the main reason kidstuned in for almost thirty-five years. Nothing against thehuman half of the team, but what made the show werethe puppets, and what made Muffin the bear and the oth-ers come to life, was puppeteer Vern Dailey.
Some of us, maybe most of us, didn’t grow up watch-ing Dallas television in the 70s.
Yet, we still know Vern as the legend. It’s not becausehe does a cartoon page each month for County Linemagazine or that he writes funny poems for Senior Voicemagazine, though he does. The legend I know is a short,bespectacled, frowning curmudgeon who sits on the backrow at monthly Dallas Songwriter Assoc. (DSA) meet-ings, cracking wise jokes and kicking butt as a songwriter.That’s why, for the 4th time in the last 12 years, Vern is theDSA Songwriter of the Year.
Vern is not a singer. He’s not even a musician. He’s alyricist. He typically records his songs in Garland, hum-ming a melody and coaching singers and musicians at thestudio on how to deliver them. Vern writes hard country.You can always dance to his tunes. When you hear one,you’re probably going to smile, and if you’re not careful,you’re also going to think while listening to “Weeds in theSandbox (Rust on the Swings),” “You’re Finally GoingOut of My Mind,” “Havin’ a Blast (Getting’ Over thePast),” “Futile Attraction,” “Part-time Lovers, Full-timeFools,” “You Broke It, You Fix It” and many others.
Although Vern can write from any perspective—male,female, young, old—there are qualities to his songs thatmark them. They ought to play on a beer joint jukebox.They have humor and pathos, and somewhere in the song,there’s going to be that turn of phrase that you wish you’dwritten. His songs are consistently good. He’s asongwriter’s songwriter. Vern says he never knows whena song will come. “A phrase will come to me; someonesays something and I hear a song title. I’m a nut for play-ing on words, you know. I’ll be out mowing the lawn andsuddenly get an idea, and if I don’t stop, I lose it.”
Vern’s got a notebook or two full of song titles waitingfor songs, and that’s how a song usually starts with Vern;he gets a song title, or a rhyme. Most of Vern’s songs havebeen recorded at McClain’s Recording in Garland. “Youknow, I usually have a tune in mind from the meter. I’mhumming it,” Vern said. “Or, sometimes I’ll pick up a co-writer, and they’ll make changes, and of course they al-
Vern Daileyways make it better.”
“I like to write songs for women morethan I like to write them for guys, for somereason, but I’ve always had a romantic sideto me. You know I’ve been married andwidowed twice. I’ve never hurt forwomen,” he said. Vern says he became asongwriter, a puppeteer, a cartoonist, a poetand who knows what else to help escape atough childhood. He said he had to workhard as a boy. “No matter how hard youworked, or how much work you did, youstill never did it good enough. “Those were
not the good old days, but anyway, I’m writing songs,and I’ll keep writing them until I’m a hundred years old,or I get a hit.”
Vern is one of the stalwarts of the Dallas SongwritersAssociation, which was formed in the early 1980s fromthe Texas Music Association. It has almost two hundredmembers who are published or unpublished, recorded ornot.
Vern Dailey’s first job was as a film processor for theEastman Kodak Company. He then spent two years withthe Sixth Armored Division of combat engineers for theUnited States Army. Vern joined the WFAA family inDecember of 1955, and stayed for the retired after forty-one years. Starting in the film department, he went on towork as a film editor and projectionist. Vern produced anddirected numerous shows for the station including:“Romper Room,” “The Julie Benell Cooking Show,”“The Murry Cox Farm Show,” Ed Hogan’s “Dialing forDollars,” Jerry Haynes’ “Dallas Bandstand,” as well asmany week-end newscasts and commercials.
Vern co-wrote, directed, designed sets, and created andoperated puppets for the popular children’s show, “Mr.Peppermint,” from 1961 until 1969, and for the new, “Pep-permint Place,” until 1996. He also directed “News EightJr.” and edited film until 1975.
Vern is a much published cartoonist and poet. He illus-trated letters from viewers for Mike Shapiro’s, “Let MeSpeak to the Manager,” show and is a long time memberof Poets of East Texas (P.O.E.T.). Vern is a proud memberof the Dallas Songwriter’s Association, where he was rec-ognized as “Songwriter of the Year” three consecutiveyears. He has received many songwriting awards, and isa two-time first-place winner in American SongwriterMagazine’s lyric contest in Nashville, Tennessee. Vernhas six songs covered by independent artist in Nashville,Houston and Austin. He is currently co-writing, withDoug Gabriel, the Doug Gabriel-Roy Clark show inBranson, Missouri. Now working as director for The VanZandt Community Theater in Wills Point, Texas, Vernhas appeared in several of their productions. He keepsMuffin, and other Peppermint puppets, alive on his “KID’SKORNER” page of COUNTY LINE magazine, whichcovers all of East Texas.
Vern will be deeply missed by all who knew him.Vern is preceded in death by his two wives, Joyce Dailey
and Jimmie Dailey, an infant son, step-son, Gary Lee,great-granddaughter, Stevie Rae Johnson and brother,Floyd Dailey.
