SPCA awarded custody of animals at Friday hearing
By Betsy Blevins
Managing Editor
After nearly six grueling
hours of testimony last Friday,
the SPCA was awarded custody
of the 75 animals seized from a
Leonard property two weeks
ago. Judge Alan Hale presided
over the hearing, with Fannin
County District Attorney
Richard Glaser representing
the state and Defendant
James “Soaring Eagle” Vonda
appearing pro-se.
Testimony began with
Glaser calling an assortment
of witnesses to the stand -
Investigator Amos Bryan
with the Fannin County
Sheriff’s Office, Investigator
Christopher West with the
Society of Prevention for
Cruelty to Animals (SCPA),
Tim Rawlings with the City of
Ferris and Chief Investigator
Colby Grady with the SPCA.
Investigators Bryan and
West were questioned first and
both gave similar accounts as
to the condition of the property
when they arrived and what
they saw and smelled. Vonda

Yard of the Month
The home of Dan and Susan Lewis on Palomino Drive was chosen as Yard of the Month for June.
Pictured above is Susan Lewis with son Austin Lewis.

probed both men to see if either
had smelled Odaban - trying
to insinuate that the smell in
the home could be from the
deodorizer, not animal urine.
West, however, had smelled the
product and testified that the
odor in the home did not smell
like Odaban - but like animal
urine. West also testified
that he felt an urgency to do
something with the animals.
“I felt there was an
immediate need to remove the
animals,” he stated under oath.
Bryan assisted with paperwork
to make the seizure happen.
West had previous
knowledge of Vonda through
a complaint at a shelter in the
City of Ferris shelter, which
was managed by DARESS,
Vonda’s animal rescue
organization. At the time of
the complaint, it had been
closed satisfactorily. When
Vonda asked West to rate his
property in comparison to
other properties where seizures
have occurred, West gave the
property a 4-5, with 1 being
the worst.
Rawlings works for
the City of Ferris as their
Supervisor over Animal
Control and previously
worked with Vonda due to the
contract between the City of
Ferris and DARESS, Vonda’s
organiziation. He testified
Friday that after the animals
had been seized from the
Leonard location, he visited
the SPCA in McKinney and
positively identified 18 animals
that had previously been at
the Ferris shelter. After the
animals went missing from
Ferris, Vonda told authorities
there that they had been taken
to an Indian Reservation in
Oklahoma and were in good
condition.
“Had the condition of the
animals improved or worsened
since you saw them last at the
Ferris shelter?” asked Glaser.
“Some were the same, some
were severely underweight.
Several had ribs and hips
showing - that was not the case
in Ferris,” Rawlings replied.
The animals were transferred
from the Ferris shelter around
April 20.
Grady, who oversees
Continous Publication Since 1890
the rescue and investigations
divisions for the SPCA,
showed the court the
documentation that is made
on each seizure case, and the
book of records for the seizure
on Flanagan Road was entered
into evidence as State Exhibit
1. Included in the record book
was a statement by Dr. Ashley
- the SPCA veterinarian who
evaluated the animals once
they had been seized.
“Overall, these animals
were getting minimal care for
a rescue/shelter facility,” she
stated.
Grady reported that the
SPCA was seeking custody
of all of the animals, and
restitution as well.
“The cost for the seizure
- vet care, anyone helping,
fuel, vehicles, staff - was
approximately $19,475.85,
and we are seeking that in
restitution,” Grady stated.
Additionally, should Vonda
file an appeal on the decision
of the court, the SPCA would
seek an additional $36,250 in
restitution to cover the costs of
caring for the animals during

the 25-day appeal process.
The SPCA also requested
that the appeal bond be set at
double the maintenance cost
of $36,250 - which would be
$72,500. The bond money
would have to be paid in cash
should Vonda file an appeal.
Total additional costs should
an appeal be filed would be
$108,750.
Testifying on Vonda’s
behalf were his “volunteers”
Colisa Vavrecka, Jessie Taylor,
Yolanda Duke and Cody Sims.
Out of those four, Duke was
the only person carrying any
type of certification to work
with animals - and that was
merely for dog grooming - and
was the only one to work with
animals previously aside from
owning one. She had taught
obedience classes previously
as well.
Vonda’s witnesses maintain
that the disarray of the home
was due to the move they were
preparing to make to New
Mexico and that the animals
were thin due to the stress
from the recent move from the
Ferris shelter. When questioned
further about the location in
New Mexico, Sims reported
that it was 20 acres, but there
were no facilities to house the
animals currently - he planned
to build those once they arrived.
Duke testified that she was in
charge of the maintenance of
the animals and was surprised
when Glaser reported the
veterinarians findings of 12
animals with heart worm and
52 with hookworm, whip or
roundworm.
Glaser also questioned
whether the animals had the
veterinarian certificate and
rabies shots, as required for
state-to-state transport - and
Duke reported that they had
not yet, but were reportedly
going to take care of the shots
the Saturday after they were
seized. Glaser also entered
Sims’ and Duke’s statements
that they made at the time of

the seizure as State’s Exhibits 2
and 3. Glaser firmly reminded
each of them that leaving the
state of Texas while criminal
charges are pending against
them is a crime itself. Sims
and Duke reported that they
understood. All of those with
criminal charges pending were
reminded at the beginning
of the hearing that anything
they said during the course of
hearing “can and will be used
against you.”
After Sims’ witness, Judge
Hale stated, “I see nothing
that’s going to be accomplished
if we continue,” and asked for
the forfeiture order.
Melinda Pappa, who
was sworn in as a witness
for Vonda, but never got the
chance to testify, exclaimed,
“Please!” as she realized
things were not moving in
their direction.
Judge Hale rapped his
gavel and stated, “Ma'am, I’ve
listened to this all day. It’s
my turn.” The Judge had used
the gavel a few other times
throughout the proceedings due
to other minor outbursts from
Vonda’s camp and to remind
the Defendant that he was
there to simply ask questions -
not make comments, which he
did consistently, and to keep
him on track with proper lines
of questioning.
Judge Hale completed
the hearing by signing the
paperwork assigning SPCA
custody of the animals and
awarding the restitution
amounts as requested by the
SPCA.
“I believe whole-heartedly
that you became overwhelmed
and it got too much for you,”
Judge Hale said to Vonda.
After the court adjourned,
Ann Barnes, Senior Vice-
President of Operations with
the SPCA, stated, “We are
happy with the outcome. We
know where the dogs are going
to be kept and how they are
going to be cared for.”

Hall calls for more troops on the border
Responding to the
President’s announcement to
send 1,200 National Guard
troops to the border to enhance
border protection, Rep. Ralph
Hall (TX/4) noted that the
President’s action represents a
“fraction of what is needed” to
help secure the U.S. – Mexico
border and help bring stability
to the region.
“I have been a longtime
advocate of deploying our
National Guard troops to
secure our border. This is
long overdue, and I urge
the President to commit to
deploying as many troops as
needed to stabilize this area,”
Hall said. “This is a first step
in developing a strategy of
border protection that will
work.”
To that end, today Hall
signed a letter to the President
along with members of
the Texas Congressional
Delegation. Excerpts from the
letter follow.

Boost Your Savings and Investments
during “Empty Nest” Years
You’ve finished paying
your children’s college bills.
Maybe you’ve even paid off
your mortgage. So now that
you’re in your “empty nest”
years, you don’t have to worry
about where the money is
going, right? In reality, you
may be caring for aging parents
and possibly even dealing with
“boomerang” kids returning
home. Nonetheless, at this
stage of your life, you need to
focus your efforts on saving
and investing for the retirement
lifestyle you’ve envisioned.
If you’re concerned about
whether you’ll be able to afford
retirement, you aren’t alone.
Consider the following figures
from the 2009 Retirement
Confidence Survey, published
by the Employee Benefit
Research Institute:
• Just 13% of the
workers surveyed said they
are very confident about
having enough money for
a comfortable retirement.
This represents the lowest
level since the Retirement

Financial Focus
Confidence Survey began in
1993.
  • Seventy-two percent
of workers — up from 66%
in 2007 - are planning to
supplement their income in
retirement by working for pay.
These figures are probably
driven, in part, by the recent
recession, but they also reflect
a general uneasiness among
workers about how well
they’ve saved and invested for
retirement. As you know, it’s
not easy to save for retirement
and pay for your kids’ college
and make your mortgage
payments. Like many people,
you might have just done the
best you could for all these
years. But if you’ve finished
paying off some major
expenses, you might have
more chances to boost your
retirement savings.
Here are a few suggestions:
• I n c r e a s e your
contributions to your employer-
sponsored retirement plan.
In 2010, you can put up to
$16,500 into your 401(k),

Your contributions are typically
made with pretax dollars, so
the more you contribute, the
lower your taxable income.
Plus, your earnings can grow
on a tax-deferred basis.
• Increase your IRA
contributions. Even if you have
a 401(k) or other employer-
sponsored retirement plan,
you may still be eligible to
contribute to a traditional or
Roth IRA. In 2010, you can
put $5,000 into an IRA, or
$6,000 if you’re 60 or older.
A traditional IRA grows tax
deferred, while a Roth IRA can
grow tax free, provided you’ve
held your account at least five
years and you don’t start taking
withdrawals until you’re age
59½.

to potentially boost your
retirement savings. On the
other hand, if you are within,
say, five years of retirement,
you may also want to reduce
the effects of volatility on
your portfolio, which means
you’ll need some income-
producing investments that
carry a relatively lower level
of investment risk. There’s no
magic formula for achieving the
correct balance, so you’ll want
to work with a professional
financial advisor — someone
who knows your goals, risk
tolerance and time horizon,
and who has the expertise and
experience necessary to help
you make the right choices.
Becoming an empty
nester may provide you with
opportunities to do things you
haven’t done before — such as
concentrate your resources on
building the type of retirement
you deserve.

Members of Terry Phifer's Life Science class at
Leonard High School got a "life lesson" the last
few weeks of school in growing and hatching
chicken eggs. The class had forty fertilized
eggs donated by a student's family, which they
allowed to sit in an incubator for forty days.
During this time many students "adopted"
certain eggs and named them and watched them
"cook." The first egg hatched on the 38th day
and the hatching process continued for a 48-hour
period. Out of the forty eggs donated, 27 hatched.
Top left, eggs that have not hatched yet remain
in the incubator. Top right, newly-hatched chicks
socialize among each other under a heat lamp.
At left, Travis Gilbert, T. R. Hodnett, Zackary

Bonham State Park Manager
On Monday, May 24,
the Texas Business Women
of Bonham, Fannin County,
Texas (TBW) formerly known
as BPW, welcomed their
speaker, Bonham State Park
Manager Lee Ellis. Ellis gave
a descriptive presentation of
how the Bonham State Park
is a huge tourist attraction
for the area. The 261-acre
park contains a beautiful and
tranquil 65-acre lake which
provides the perfect setting for
camping, picnicking, mountain
biking, boating, canoe rentals
and a newly sanded beach
for swimming. This scenic
lake offers largemouth bass,
channel catfish, crappie,
bluegill and there is not a
requirement to purchase a
fishing license to fish at the
lake in Bonham State Park.
Additionally, Ellis
educated everyone on
GeoCaching, which is a
technologically advanced
treasure hunting game for
adventure seekers equipped
with GPS devices that people
all over the world play. The
park has 13 GeoCaches
throughout and the public is
invited to play by logging in
at http://www.geocaching.
com
The park facilities
include restrooms with and
without showers; picnic
sites, campsites with water
and electricity; a group camp
with barracks and a dining
hall, which accommodates
approximately 94 people (the
facility is only rented as a
single unit, not separately).
For more information on cost
of group camping, campsites,
canoe rentals etc. call 903-
583-5022.

makes ferns different from
other plants? And just what
are Lycophytes any way? The
Texas species thrive in some of
the most extreme conditions—
in crevices on huge exposed
granite outcrops, underwater
on the bottoms of ponds or
lakes, in deserts, and in cave
entrances. One Texas species
has leaves reaching nearly 13
feet in length. Another is a tiny
floating aquatic often less than
½ inch in total size. Many
Texas species occur nowhere
else in the entire United States.
For those familiar with grasses
and wildflowers this program
will explore a whole different
flora of Texas, examine
surprising aspects of ferns and
lycophyes, and explain why
Texas is such a special place
for these ancient groups of
plants.
Dr. Diggs, a professor
of Biology at Austin College
in Sherman, will discuss the
plants that are the focus of his
upcoming book titled Ferns
and Lycophytes of Texas
(co-authored with Barney
Lipscomb). He is also
co-author of the Illustrated
Flora of North Central Texas
and Illustrated Flora of East
Texas.
George M. Diggs, Jr.
received his Ph.D. from the
University of Wisconsin-
Madison in 1981. He has
been a faculty member in
the Biology Department of
Austin College, Sherman since
1981. His research interests
include the plants of Texas,
the taxonomy of the Ericaceae

Thursday evening,
June 10 at 7 pm, Fannin
County residents will have
a tremendous treat when the
GCC Jazz Combo comes to
town. Led by the GCC Music
Program Director, James
Dering, the GCC Jazz Combo
is one of the premier jazz
groups in the area. Expect
to enjoy a cross-section of
jazz, from jazz standards to
contemporary pieces, with an
emphasis on improvisation,
including Swing, Bebop, Blues,
Latin, Funk, and Ballads. The
Jazz Combo includes horns,
vocalists, keyboard, bass,
guitar, and drums.
The GCC Jazz Combo
began in the fall of 2007
with just one bass player in
the group. Three years later,
it’s a high quality, sought
after ensemble. Dering, a
professional jazz pianist,
studied jazz under Ellis
Marsalis and played for several
years in the French Quarter of
New Orleans. He has merged
his jazz insights with the
continued development of a
strong classical program at the
Dedication of Fannin County
Court at Law next Wednesday
A dedication ceremony and Open House for the
college, to the benefit of music
majors and hobbyists alike.
The mention of GCC Music is
turning heads more and more
these days, with the recent
construction of their new
facilities, including a recording
studio, keyboard and computer
lab, choir room, band hall, and
twelve practice rooms. The
program continues to grow,
with new classes and new faces
appearing frequently. Those
