Cooke County Human Resource Director
Elizabeth Huchton said the county pays $12 per
year per household for its employees to have a
membership with CareFlite. The fee does not
cover services provided by PHI and Air Evac.
Commissioners said they are concerned that
county employees and the public are under the
illusion that their memberships with CareFlite
cover all air ambulance services in the area.
Gainesville City Manager Barry Sullivan
said CareFlite approached the city about a
discount membership program for city utility
customers around 2012.
For $1 a month residents can receive a mem-
bership with CareFlite if they pay through
their utility bill.
Sullivan said the city doesn’t receive any
funds for offering the service, but customers
get a “dramatic discount” on the membership.
The membership fee does not cover PHI
and Air Evac. He said no other company has
approached the city.
According to CareFlite’s website, member-
ship services include CareFlite’s helicopter

April is National Stress Awareness Month, a
time when health care professionals and health
promotion experts unite to increase public
awareness about stress and to promote overall
health. Gainesville resident Dayton Lewis is
doing just that in his profession as a certified
personal trainer.
Stress can be defined as anything that poses
a challenge or a threat to a person’s well being.
One thing that poses a challenge to Americans
today is obesity. The U.S. is among the top 10
most obese countries in the world. More than
one third of adults and more than 12.5 million
children and teens in the US are obese. In the
last 30 years, obesity and children and teens has
nearly tripled.
“My job as a personal trainer is to help cut
these number down, while teaching a life of
healthier food choices and ways to keep your
body active with exercise,” Lewis said.
Lewis began his journey of managing life’s
stress during his sophomore year at Gainesville
In 1866 a structure for a church
was built from undressed East
Texas lumber. It was a one-and-a-
half story structure on 2 acres at
the point on the hill before reaching
Fannin Branch. It was a few hundred
yards southeast of where the pres-
ent Rosston Methodist Church now
stands. It was a multi-purpose build-
ing used for a school, lodge meetings
and other community and religious
organizations.
Indian raids were among the
many hardships faced by the early
church members. There were a
number of big raids in Texas remem-
bered by the pioneers of 1860s, but
arguably, perhaps the biggest was
known as Big Tree’s Raid in 1868.
The raid led by Chief Big Trees was
known as the last Indian Raid in
Cooke County.
The land where the original
church was located was sold to Dave
Wade in the early 1890s prompting
fundraising plans for a new site. The
present location of the church was
given in 1893 by W.R.K. Roberts and
his wife Margaret Smith Roberts.
The Roberts gave one acre for
the building site. Donations were
enough to start the building. Bob
Cooper hauled the first load of new
lumber out of Gainesville, purchased
from D.L. Painter who was with
Waples-Painter Lumber Co. The
chief contractor was Sewell Dover,
grandfather of Mrs. Jess Lucas.
The structure was finished with
funds left over, which was cause for a
big celebration. Local and conference

Air ambulance services prompt questions

Cooke County commissioners were more
than upset to learn county employees could be
shelling out thousands of dollars to cover air
ambulance fees in case of an emergency.
“I’m pissed,” said Precinct 4 Commissioner
Leon Element.
There are three air ambulance providers
which serve the area — CareFlite, PHI Air
Medical and Air Evac Lifeteam.
