Parker County Commissioners Court will hold a regular agenda meeting Monday at 9 a.m. to begin the process of appointing board members to the new Emergency Services District No. 7.

The formation of the district, which crosses precincts 2 and 3, was approved by voters in last week’s election.

Precinct 3 Commissioner John Roth said Monday’s meeting will start discussions on how to appoint members to the board.

“Basically we’re just going to talk about it. We can’t really do anything until we certify the vote on Thursday,” Roth said.

The court has scheduled a special agenda meeting to canvass the results of the Nov. 3 election.

In the past, Roth said the court has taken written requests from people interested in serving on the board, but there is no urgency getting people appointed.

“They’re not setting a tax rate this year,” he explained. “That’s already been done. [The new board] will just get together and begin to organize how to operate. They won’t be under a time crunch.”

The special agenda meeting begins at 9 a.m. Thursday, at the courthouse.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.

Weatherford junior to perform with All-State choir
When she was a little girl, Cassandra Kirby used to climb up next to her grandmother’s big fireplace and sing songs during the holiday get-togethers.
While she has a reserved and polite personality, recalling these memories makes a big smile break out onto Kirby’s face.
Get her talking about songs and suddenly she’s effusive and happy.
