Home My WebLink AboutEuless Today Summer 2003ALES 'he City Magazine ummer/Fall 2003 EUtESS ER 2003 Community Information Greetings from Your Mayor Dear Citizens, What a wonderful summer we have had thus far ... hot and cool with lots of activities and a great schedule of events for the rest of the summer. We want you all to participate in the ' varied schedule of events we have planned for our citizens. And, of course, we need your help as volunteers. If you have -41 never volunteered for events in our city, you have truly missed a treat. Our volunteers are very special people. Main Street renovation has begun and we know there will be an inconvenience for a short time but please understand that things will be better soon and our businesses on Main Street need your help. Most of our business owners are long time residents and depend on you to make their business prosper. Let's support them even if it means a little inconvenience in construction. Main Street Revitalization is the second project that was included in our last Bond Election. Harwood Road was completed first, now Main Street and the last will be Pipeline Road. We are in the engineering phase for Pipeline now. Main Street will take one year to complete and then we begin on Pipeline Road. This newsletter focuses on our special volunteers in Euless. We are so proud of our volunteers and it is with pride that we recognize Jimmy and Helen Payton as the Volunteers of the Year for the city of Euless. If you know the Paytons, you will know their life is dedicated to serving others not only in business affairs but also our great city. The United Way also recognized Vicki Baum with the highest award given by United Way for service to others. Vicki is truly a unique and beautiful person who gives beyond the normal call of giving. Please read about both of these gracious and giving families who make our city a better place to live. Have you noticed our city hall recently? We are in the process of renovating City Hall as another part of our 50th year celebration. It sorely needed much attention and this was a perfect time to renovate. We hope to dedicate the new City Hall in December and hope you will all come and see the improvements. We celebrate along with many other cities across the United States National Night out. This is a time for neighborhoods to get together to know one another and stamp out crime. Last year we had 48 neighborhood groups participate in National Night Out ... and hopefully we will have more this year. Please call in for information... and we will be there with the city's support. It really is a fun time to get together with your neighbors. There were plenty of hot dogs, dips, watermelon and ice cream last year. Come be a part of the great neighborhood watch party. We are adding a new column of interest in this edition of Euless Today. Our own Gary McKamie who serves as our Deputy City Manager, served as our Police Chief, and has 30 years of service to our city, will write a column on his memories in the development of our city. You may be surprised at what he remembers but you will surely enjoy his memories. Thank you, Gary, for agreeing to write this column. In November we will be celebrating Veteran's Day as another special part of our 50th anniversary. We are planning to dedicate a new ball field at the Parks at Texas Star in honor of our veterans. We would like to include all those veterans who have served in any area of our Armed Forces to be a part of the ceremony. We need your names and addresses so can we include you in the ceremony. So please call Linda Turbeville at 817-685-1423 to register. The Games of North Texas will be in our city the last week of July. These youths are the future Olympians of America. What a terrific opportunity for the cities of Euless, Bedford, Hurst, Colleyville, Grapevine and North Richland Hills. We are truly working together for our future citizens. But, we need volunteers — 700 volunteers. Please lend a few hours of your time to support the Games. Call Jerry Poteet at 817-685-1449 to volunteer for an activity. It will be a great time and you will benefit for your volunteering. I'll be there volunteering, too. There are so many things going on in our city in recreation, library, the Games, and even at City Hall. Please read all the information inside and participate in whatever you can. We truly are Building A Better Tomorrow for our citizens. Have a great summer!

Main Street Construction Schedule Phase I Harwood Road south to Midway June through December 2003 Phase II Midway south to Hwy. 10 January through June 2004 What's a little construction? Especially when the results are going to be fantastic!? In about one year, Euless' Main Street will be trans- formed into a five -lane, pedestrian -friendly thorough- fare. Before the road construction began in June, the changes were already noticeable. After TXU moved the electric utilities behind the businesses and removed the wooden poles, it was as if the sky opened up above Main Street. Where the poles created a sense of driving through a valley of poles and wires, the openness is unbelievable. Main Street from Harwood south to Midway is the first phase to be rebuilt. When finished, this portion of the roadway will consist of two lanes in each direction and a landscaped median with restricted turn lanes. On the west side of the road, an eight -foot masonry wall will be constructed along the property line of the exist- ing homes in order to reduce traffic noise. In addition, the remaining greenspace between the wall and the roadway will include a six-foot wide path and ornamen- tal pedestrian lighting. On the east side of the street, the existing wooden fences will also be replaced with a six-foot masonry wall and the sidewalk will be replaced. Beginning around January, construction will shift to the roadway between Midway and Hwy. 10. A center turn lane will be added to facilitate traffic flow through the area and decorative lighting will be added. Main Street is on its way to becoming a beautiful front door to Euless. EUIESS MAIN STREET MERChANTS And remember, the merchants on Main Street will remain open during construc- tion and they need your help to stay in business. It's going to be messy and it's going to be a tad inconvenient, but our merchants are counting on you. For more information on the project's progress and information on the Main Street merchants, please visit the city's Web site at www.ci.euless.tx.us Community information Page 5 Vicki Baum earns United Way Hercules Award Tarrant County's highest honor for human service accomplishment goes to Euless resident By Kathy A. Goolsby For a dozen years, Vicki Baum has helped families of critically ill children get the help they need. Even multiple sclerosis hasn't diminished her dedication to the World Life Foundation, which provides transportation to young patients. "The last five years she's had MS, and sometimes she's on the phone working from her bed, but they never know it," said her husband, Lou Baum. "She may be in a wheelchair or using a cane, but she doesn't let it stop her. She really is my hero." Her efforts earned the Euless resident this year's United Way Hercules Award, the group's highest volunteer honor. Her husband nominated her for the award, and it was presented on May 22 at the United Way's annual dinner, when dozens of other volunteers are also recognized. Baum oversees 15 volunteers and day-to-day operations of the World Life Foundation, which she founded with her husband in 1991. They were inspired by their daughter, Catherine, who was born in 1985 with a metabolic disorder so rare that doctors can pinpoint only about 35 people with it worldwide. "She had a liver disorder where an enzyme was not produced that was imperative to continue life," Baum said. "Because there were so few people with this in the world, there was very little information available." Frustrated by their doctor's inability to answer their questions, the Baums asked why someone didn't do something to find answers. "And he said, `Why don't you?"' Lou Baum said. "He said, `Why don't you and Vicki form a foundation and try to find these answers."' They began by tracking patients with metabolic disorders, but their focus shifted to helping families reach medical specialists. They were fortunate to be near doctors who could help Catherine, who defied predictions that she'd never walk, talk or live past childhood. But the Baums knew that other families were struggling. "There are so few doctors who specialize in metabolics, and we realized other parents probably were having trouble finding treatments because they lived too far away," Baum said. "To know there is a treatment available and you can't get there is devastating." She acts as a liaison between families and airlines, with the foundation covering travel expenses. But as a licensed histologist who once assisted with autopsies in North Carolina, Baum also helps the families understand what is happening to their children. "She can talk to doctors, understand the Euless resident Vicki Baum received the United Way's Hercules Volunteer award. medical terms and turn around and explain it to the families in language they can understand," Baum said. "She's the link between medical science and the day-to- day needs of the families." This year, the foundation has helped 850 families. Although some needed help with transportation, most were seeking information or referrals to other agencies. Peggy Bohme, last year's Hercules winner, was on the committee that chose Vicki Baum for this year's award. Bohme is executive director of The Warm Place in Fort Worth, a grief support center for children and their families. She said she found Baum's tenacity and dedication heart-warming, especially considering her own family's medical problems. "She changed something that was a terrible hardship for her family to something good for all these other children," Bohme said. "Also, with her having MS she could just have easily have said, `This is it. I'm done.' But she didn't. We need more people like her willing to do the things that change the lives of children."

Community Information Euless recognizes Jimmy and Helen Payton as the 2002 Volunteers of the Year It's been 73 years since Jimmy Payton came to Euless at the age of six months. The grandson of J. R. Fuller, Jimmy has continued his grandfather's legacy, along with his wife, Helen, to contribute to his community. "I feel that everything we do is a partnership," says Jimmy Payton. "When they get one of us, they usually get both of us." Jimmy and Helen Payton were married in 1950. Soon after, Jimmy became Euless' youngest Mayor in 1955 at the age of 25. After his two-year term, he made a deal with the Mayor Pro Tem Ernest Millican, Jr. Since Euless didn't have a municipal court judge, Jimmy volunteered to serve for "a couple of years" until the city hired one, as long as Millican would run for Mayor. As it turns out, Jimmy ended up serving as Euless' municipal judge for eight years. Helen and Jimmy are still very active in the community. Whether it's volunteering as docents at the Fuller House and Himes Log House for the Historical Preservation Committee or serving on the Library Foundation, Jimmy and Helen Payton are two of Euless' most valuable resources. Page 10 Helen and Jimmy Payton Jimmy and Helen Payton have served in many capacities in Euless, Tarrant County and the state of Texas over the past 50 years. They have both served when called upon in any capacity for the good of Euless. Jimmy served as Mayor of Euless from 1955 to 1957, Municipal Judge for eight years, served on the original City Charter Committee, as well as Chair of the Charter Review Committee in 1990, 1991 and 1995, currently serves on the city's 50th Anniversary Committee and further serves on the Texas Health Resources Board of Trustees and is the first honorary member of the Harris Methodist HEB Board of Trustees. Helen has served on the Friends of the Library, the Euless Library Foundation and has served on the Euless Historical Preservation Committee since 1993. Jimmy and Helen assisted in the purchase of the Euless Mobile Fire Safety Trailer and an Automatic External Defibrillator through a generous donation in conjunction with the National Automobile Dealer's Association. 20th Annual National Night Out Tuesday, August 5 7 to 10 p.m. Euless neighborhoods are encouraged to participate in National Night Out in a variety of ways: • turn on your front porch light • front porch vigils • block parties • cookouts • visits from police and fire personnel • parades • flashlight walks • contests • youth programs Give crime "a going -away party" in your neighborhood! Community Information Page 11 In early 1970s, farm was site of largest police raid in Euless history By Gary McKamie, Deputy City Manager The last two years have brought significant growth to Euless as the single- family housing market has boomed. In spite of a generally weak economy, low interest home mortgage rates have fueled a flurry of new home construction. More than 1,300 single-family residential lots have been approved. As these homes are built and families begin to move in, the hustle and bustle of modern suburban family life will fill the subdivisions. Many may think that the sounds of children at play, lawnmowers and soccer moms' SUVs have replaced the peace and quiet of the land which had previously been rural pastureland. In some cases, there is a history of raucous activity within those rural pastures, which most have not known or perhaps forgotten. One such example can be found along Baze Road. A new, exceptionally nice subdivision will be built on the "Thousand Oaks" property. This subdivision will have 21 lots for custom homes nestled among the post oak trees. Thirty years ago, Baze Road was a narrow, gravel road extending south from Glade Road and ending at the Baze Farm. The area was rather remote with the sounds of cattle and horses being the predominant noises ... until the weekends. On weekend nights, men and women from across North Texas would gather in a secluded barn on Thousand Oaks Farm, west of Baze Road in Euless. The crowd would sometimes exceed 200 with cars and trucks parking along Baze Road, often completely blocking the narrow road. The peaceful night air was interrupted by the sounds of men loudly shouting and cursing as they placed their bets and the sickening sound of roosters fighting to Lite death. The "sport" that attracted the crowds to Thousand Oaks Farm 30 years ago was cockfighting. This sport, as well as the gambling which accompanied it, was illegal in Texas. It resulted in the largest police raid in Euless history. In 1973 or `74, officers from Euless, Hurst, Bedford, the Texas Rangers and the Tarrant County Metro Crime Squad closed down the Thousand Oaks Farm cockfight and made more than 80 arrests. The arrested participants were transported to City Hall in buses borrowed from a local church. The Euless jail, with a capacity of 16, was too small to hold the crowd, so court hearings were conducted in the night and most participants were released on bond. Most of those arrested were later fined. The same post oak trees that provided a secluded setting for a violent, cruel and illegal sport 30 years ago will soon provide shade for 21 families in beautiful new homes. Perhaps progress isn't that bad. Lawn Mowing and Maintenance Avoid code enforcement violations while complying with health & safety ordinances Euless residents are required to mow and maintain their property not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also for health and safety reasons. Therefore, Euless enforces a city ordinance that prohibits grass and weeds from exceeding 12" in height. If you receive a notice of violation, you have 10 days to resolve the problem. Otherwise, the city will place a lien on your property for the cost of having a contractor mow your property. Unmaintained lawns and vacant lots attract rodents and mosquitoes.They can also become a fire hazard if the high grass becomes dry. Please contact the Code Enforcement office at ,. 817-685-1625 if you have any questions or concerns. 1IlM11 Remember to bring your lucky rabbit's foot...
