Abernathy trails county in sales tax collections Abernathy is the only

city in Hale County to lag behind sales tax rebates to date. The city is not "enjoy_ ing" the increase in sales tax collections the state has experienced for 13 months.

Hale County had a monthly rebate increase but still trails total collections when compared to Septem­ber 2003

Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn said that the state took in $1.16 billion dollars in sales tax in September, a 3,9 per­cent increase over Septem­ber 2003, Strayhorn sent $326.5 million in monthly sales tax payments to Texas cities, counties, transit sys­tems and special purpose taxing districts , up 8 per­cent compared to last Octo­ber. So far in 2004, local sales tax allocations are 8.2 percent ahead of last year.

"Nine of my 10 economic indicators are positive and we have el\ioyed an increase in sales tax collections for 13 months running," Strayhorn said.

Strayhorn sent sales tax allocations of $221.9 mil­lion to Texas cities, 6.9 per­cent more than October 2003 . Calendar year-to­date, city sales tax rebates

are up 8,1 percent. Texas counties received October sales tax rebates of $19.3 million, up 10.2 percent compared to a year ago. Calendar year-to-date, county sales tax allocations are 8.4 percent higher than last year.

Eighty-seven special purpose taxing districts around the state received $8,6 million in sales tax, up 4.6 percent compared to last October. So far in 2004, sales tax allocations to spe­cial purpose districts are up 6.7 percent compared to

2003, Nine local transit systemsreceived$76.4mil­lion in October sales tax rebates, up 11,2 percent compared to a year ago. Year-to-date, transit sales tax revenues are up 8.6 percent.

Nov. 4 Slade Teal Ceeily Mendoza Gerry Kleman

I believe I am:

(1) THE MOST QUALIFIED A city attorney prosecutes only regular traffic

offenses and Class C misdemeanors, like criminal mischief under $50 and assaults without injury. A clly altomey rarely faces opposing counsel, has no seriously injured victims, and the accused does not face jail time on such cases. A district attorney tries felony cases where there is always opposing counsel; seriously injured victims; and Jail or penitentiary time to face, or even the death penalty. Accordingly, the difference is jurisdictional not just geographical, and the stakes are much, much greater.

I have tried to jury verdicts 1" degree felonies with a punishment range of 5 to 99 years, or life; 2'" degree felonies (2-20 years); 3" degree felonies (2·10 years); and state jail felonies (180 days to 2 years); as well as Class A misdemeanors (0 days to 1 year possible) and Class B misdemeanors (0 days to 180 days possible); and Juvenile cases. I have prosecuted criminal appeals before the 7" Circuit Court of Appeals in Amarillo and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin My opponent, Plainview's City Attorney, has never tried such cases to a judge or a jury or done an appeal from one.

Because of my criminal trial practice, I am court-approved to represent indigenl defendants in our counties on all such cases. My opponent is not approved for such representation . (2) THE MOSTEXPERIENCED

I have practiced law for eighteen years, with eight years in Texas as a felony criminal trial

lawyer, and with a civil practice that has included administrative. domestic relations, personal injury, contract, property, and probate law. I have also defended civil rights actions againsl law enforcement agencies and their officers, as well as state employees. I taught part-time at Texas Tech School of Law in 1996 and 1997. I was an appellate staff altorney for the New Mexico Court of Appeals Prehearing Division for three years. And I have run my own law practice successfully for the last thirteen years, employing several personnel over that time. (3) THE MOST LIKELY TO SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTE SERIOUS CRIMES

Having defended numerous cr imina l defendants, I am very familiar with the penal , evidentiary, procedural, and appellate laws of Texas . I do nol condone crime and further believe that we can reduce and eliminale It by hard-nosed, honest prosecution. To do so, one must have the desire to prosecute. I do. I applied for an assistant dislrlct attorney opening in Hale County in 1996 and was lhe runner up for the position. Having lived previously in an extremely violent community (Santa Fe, NM), I have no tolerance for violent crime. I want to implement a no lolerance policy in Hale and Swisher counties. I am also 100% againsl drugs and believe we must eliminate their sources and dealers. We must get drugs away from our children and others. Since property crime pays for drugs, if we get rid of drugs, we will get rid of most property crimes.

I want to accomplish these goals for our communities and you .

By Debra Pugh According to the National

Institutes of Health, falling is the second leading cause of accidental dea th for senior ci ti­zens in the United States, They also state that the num­ber one cause for seniors to go to the emergency room is from injuries caused from a fall , Can any of these falls be pre­vented? Of course not a ll of the falls can be prevented, but some of the falls could be avoided by improving their strength, flexibility , and bal­ance.

Strength Training When most people hear the

words strength training, they think that they have to go to a health club and use the weight training machines, These are very benelicial, but studies show that you can gain just as much strength by usingdumb bells at home, They are sma ll and can be stored under a bed or couch, Be sure to speak to a personal trainer about learn­ing the correct form, amount of weight, and number of rep­etitions, Gaining strength can help you to do many things such as going up and down steps, getting up from a chair, picking up your grandchil­dren, and getting up and down from the floor with your grand­children, Lifting weights in­creases your muscular strength which can help you to prevent falls ,

Flexibility Studies have indicated

there is a distinct relationship between age and degree offlex­ibility, ACE Personal Train­ingManualexplains "Afterthe age of25, normal agi ng tends to accelerate, ca using signifi­cant changes in connective tis­sue and eventually decreased extensibility," They go on to describe that as people age, the diameter of collagen fi­bers increases as well as a fair amount of dehydration in and around the soft tissues struc­tures also occurs, This lack of water to soft tissue structures diminishes lubrication and the flow of nutrients to the site, ultimately creating a more fragile unit, With a good stretching program ( and drinking water) you can be­come flexible again, It is sug­gested to warm up first and then stretch for muscles are more flexible when the mus­cular temperature rises, It is

"Successfully prosecutln, serious crimes In our courtrooms requires a district attorney with years of felony criminal trial experience, and the tenacity to withstand and defeat all efforts to deraH the prosecution. " "WIth my t 8 years as an attorney, elfht as a criminal defense attorney In Te]Qs,1 have chat experience and the frlt to J« the Job done In Hale and Swlshercountles. Let me work hard foryou. "

also important to stretch after exercise to remove unwanted waste products from t he muscles and to ensure muscle relaxation and normal rest­ing length,

Balance Recent I'esults of a study

published in The New England Journal of Medicine show that seniors who exercise and prac­tice balance a ctivities can avert the devastating effects of a fall. The study went on to explain that balance is a n in­tangible force t hat all ows the body to perform all of the daily activities that many people takefol' granted, Balancegives people the conlidence to move freely and to engage in physi­cal activities, FOl'many people a lack of bala nce can create a fear of falling , For yea rs, people thought that falling was simply pal't of growing old, But by practicing and I'e­peatingcertain movements on a I'egular basis, seniOl's can strengthen muscles that have become inactive. This muscu­lar strength is necessary to correct balance errors,

If you over the age of 55, i,t is impOitant to be on an exer­, 'm1.ha tinco tes

weight training, ,tretching, and balance exercises, Make sure you speak to yoU!' doctor before you start an exercise program, You will not on ly be helping to prevent fa lls in the future , but enhancing your quality of li fe so you a re Hble

to contintlc to do many of' th e activities you enjoy,

New court clerk to be added to city staff, city accepts land for Boy Scouts

The city of Abernathy will be hiring a new employee to help with the municipal court.

Judge Hugh Hill requested, through City Manager Mike Cypert at the Oct. 11 meeting, the city council hire a court clerk. The clerk also will used to fill in for other city hall personnel as needed.

The motion passed but it was not unanimous.

"I don't think we need an­other employee at this time," said Councilwoman Colleen Cecil after casting the dissent­ing vote. "I've worked over­time without pay."

The councilmen passed the motion,4-1,

In other business, the coun­cil adopted a resolution to ap­ply for a $250,000 grant. The city would match the grant with a 10 percent commitment of cash or in-kind services. The

project would improve water and sewer systems that mainly affect low to moderate income families in Abernathy.

The council declined to act on a request for stop signs at 13th St. and Jerome St. They said residents in the area should submit a petition that would affect north- and south­bond traffic.

Also tabled was action on property declared substan­dard at 1202 Ave. B.

Abernathy Boy Scouts will benefit after the council ac­cepted a donation of land at 308 15th St. Harry Sherman offered the donation is the council would designate it for use by the Boy Scouts.

The property is appraised at $3,750 and has $366.60 in delinquent taxes charges charged against it. The city is owed $76.74 and the other tax-

ing entities will have to for­give the delinquent taxes or the city will have to pay them.

Cypert said construction of a new metal building was planned for the scouts on the property.

Two more junk cars were ordered removed from the city after a council public hearing. The vehicles were on property at 609 3rd St. and 910 4th St.

City employees "that may be subject to calJ-out during a civil emergency" now must live within 10 minutes or 10 miles of the city. Cypert offered the addition to the personnel policy a nd the council ap­proved it, 5-0.

Before adjourning, Cypert informed the council that a group is interested in leasing the medical clinic for local health care. They toured the facility and are in negotiation.

October is Fire Prevention Month; plan ahead October is Fire Prevention

Month . Observing Fire Prevention

Month is aimed at educating Americans about fire safety and preventing fire injury and fatalities. The focus of this ef­fort is on prevention , smoke alarms and window decals -each of which are cited as three key th ings that Americans can do to protect their families a nd mi nimi ze the potential loss of life a nd injury due to I'esiden­ti al house fires.

According to the latest data co llected by the National Fire Protectio n Association, re ­leased in 2002, there were 401,000 I'esidential home tires repor ted in the United States. These fires resul ted in 2,670 dea ths and 13,650 injuries. Hea lLheare cos ts to treat fire victims aver age approxi­mately $22,000 per case. Fires caused an estimated $5.9 bil­lion in direct property dam­age, according to the report.

a is est ima ted that there is a home fire dea th every 170 minutes somewhere in the United States. These tragedies typ ically occur between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The National Fire Protection Association, a nd the National Association of Firefighters, are both looking for ways to edu­cate the public in an effort to reduce the incidence of resi­dential fires. With more fires occuning particularly in t he winter months, Fire Preven­tion Month is a t ime to remind the public of fire prevention tips. For cxample, firefighters a nd first responders recom­mend t he following to help reduce injury and death:

• Insta ll smoke detectors! a larms on each level of the home. Experts believe 70 pel'-

cent of fatalities occur in homes without smoke detec­tors.

o Place fire warning decals on windows to alert firefight­ers about children, pets and others inside. Firefighters cite rescue window decals as a key to knowing who may be inside and in need of rescue.

o Replace batteries every six months in existing smoke alarms. Spring and Fall when the seasonal daylight savings time changes is a good re­minde'r.

o Practice a family fire es­cape plan with two different routes and review the plan regularly to ensure everyone is prepared.

o Put fire extinguishers in the garage, basement, kitchen a nd each level of the home. Check them annually to re­charge them as necessary.

o Know the dangers of space heaters and make sure the heaters are unobstructed. Space heaters should never used in bedrooms.

o Keep matches and light­ers out of children's reach. Playing with fire is a leading cause of accidents and serious burns for boys aged 3-12.

o Teach children what to do in case of a fire: Stop, drop and roll if clothes are on fire.

o Check furnace and fire­place chimneys with each sea­sonal change. Soot build-up and bird nests can cause a fire hazard.

• Use emergency release devices on windows wi th bur­glar bars and security doors. Although outlawed in most cities, many older buildings still have security bars in­stalled that cannot be opened from the inside. This remains a significant risk fo: people

living in lower income neigh­borhoods and large cities.

Children are particularly at risk. According to the 2002 National Safe Kids Founda­tion, a pproximately 92,500 children aged 14 and under were injured in residential fires that year. The organiza­t iondocumented that493 chil­dren died in approximately 400 ,000 r es identia l fires. Nearly 54 percent of the de­ceased children were at age four a nd under.

In all cases, 70 percent of all fire-related deaths were related to smoke inhalation. Burns accounted for the cause of death in an additional 25 percent of the fire-related deaths. Looking to 2005, fire­fighters and various advocacy orga nizations are launching educational efforts to help families understand how to prepare a fire family escape plan, use of smoke alarms and use fire rescue warning decals on windows a nd doors to help notify firefighters that chil­dren a nd others may be inside a burning home.

Since 1985, eSafetyAlert has offered 3 W"X5W" plas­tic fluorescent orange fire res­cue window decals that read: "CHILD ALERTTM, In Case of Fire, SAVE Child INSIDE." Another decal reads: "In Case of Fire , SAVE _ Children INSIDE. " A total of eight ver­sions are a vailable, including window decals for pets, senior citizens and disabled persons . The decals are weatherproof and a re designed to be placed on the outside of the window for optimal visibility. They can be viewed at http :// www.eSafetyAlert.com.

"People are horrified when they realize how helpless their children, elderly parents, dis­abled family members and pets would be in a fire ," said ToddAppleman, creator of the fire rescue decals . "Many of these tragedies can be avoided if firefighters have better in­formation about who might be inside.

Barrick featured artist Paintings on display at First State Bank

A native of the High Plains, Barrick was raised on the family farm near Abernathy. He studied art at West Texas State University, Texas Tech University and the University of North Texas. He taught high school art several years before devoting full time to his painting career. Today, his home and studio are in Leander, neal' Austin.

Remnants of rural America are the prin­ciple focus of paintings by Bill Barrick. He is recognized around Texas and the nation as a leading chronicler of life in the developing Southwest. Much of his work pays tribute to early settlers who broke untamed prairies and established the roots from which sprang vil­lages, towns and commerce that lead to our contemporary culture. His ability to capture on canvas the spirit of rural America with its stark beauty, hardship and simple joys, is the driving force and appeal o( his art.

Barrick is an award winning member of the prestigious Texas Association of Professional Artists, Texas Wild Bunch, National Western Artists Association and an honorary member of the Texas Rangel' Hall of Fame.

He has been featured in several books, tele­vision productions and such magazines as Southwest Art, Southwest Airlines and The State of Art Texas Homes. His work hangs in many prominent collections, including Coca­Cola Company, Dr Pepper Company, Dressel' Industries, State Farm Insurance Companies, Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants, Texas Fire Museum, State Bar of Texas and several universities.

Acareer highlight was a one man retrospec­tive in 1983 at the Panhandle-Plains Histori­cal Museum. The 80 painting exhibit, "A Vi-

sion of Rural Texas" was held-over two months by popular demand. Other museums that have exhibited andlor archived his work include the Lubbock Collection, Texas Tech University, National Ranching Heritage Center, West Texas Museum, Museum oftheArnerican West, Houston Berry Bywaters Research Collection on American Art and Arch.itecture and South­ern Methodist University.

Emergency farm loans accepted

Applications for emergency farm loans for damages and losses caused by drought that occurred on Apr. 1,2003, are being accepted at the Farm Service Agency located in Pla­inview, Farm Loan Manager Mark Latham said.

Hale County was recently named a contiguous disaster county by the Secretary of Agriculture, Ann M. Veneman., for operators eli­gible for loans to cover produc­tion resulting from the adverse weather.

Latham said farmers may be eligible for loans of up to 80 percent of their actual losses or the operating loan needed to continue in business, which­ever is less. For farmers uno ' able to obtain credit from pri­vate commercial lenders, the interest is 3.75 percent.

"As a general rule, a farmer must have suffered at least a 30 percent loss of production to be eligible for an FSA emer­gency loan," Latham said.

Farmers participating in the Federal Crop Insurance program will have to figure in proceeds from those programs in determining their loss.

"Applications for loans un­der this emergency designa­tion will be accepted until June 13. Farmers should apply as soon as possible. Delays in applying could create back­logs in processing and possi­bly over into the new farming season," Latham said.

President Bush and Randy Neugebau have more work to do . ,resident Bush needs conservative leader like Randy Neugebauer in Congress to help in the fight to:

• Lower your taxes • Win the War on Terror • Defend our conservative values • Stop government waste

• A constitutional amendment preserving marriage between a man & a woman • Higher standards of decency In the entertainment Industry • Protecting the flag from those who would bum It
