Annual 5K to be run Saturday

Runners and walkers will gather at Clarendon College this Saturday to raise awareness about child abuse during the sixth annual Chance Mark Jones Roar & Run 5K.

More than 70 people have registered for the event, which is hosted by the Clarendon Lions Club and coincides with Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Sign-ins start at 8 a.m. at the Bairfi eld Activity Center. The 9 a.m. race will start and end at the Bulldog Gym and run through the city; in front of the First Baptist Church; down Fifth Street along Clarendon Junior High; past several historic structures, including the S.W. Lowe House, the First United Methodist Church, and the Donley County Courthouse; around Prospect Park – the site of the Chance Mark Jones Memorial Playground; and then back up through the southwest part of the city to the college.

Race packets will be available for pick-up all day this Friday, April 13 , at the Clarendon Visitor Center.

Proceeds from the race will benefi t the charitable community activities of the Clarendon Lions Club. The race honors the life of four-year-old Chance Mark Jones, who died from abuse in 2011.

For more information, contact Lion Ashlee Estlack at 806-874-4808 or 806-662-4687.

Offi cials warn about critical fi re danger

This historic Ashtola school building went up in fl ames Tuesday afternoon after an accidental grassfi re got into the structure, and local offi cials are reminding everyone of how dangerous conditions are for fi re this week.

Clarendon Fire Chief Jeremy Powell said local volunteer fi remen were called out about noon April 10 after a rural resident, attempting to smoke out honey bees occupying their front porch, accidentally set their yard on fi re.

This resulted in one occupied structure being threatened, 10-15 acres of grass being destroyed, and the 1930s-era school building going up in fl ames.

“We saved the house, but just the brick walls are all that’s left of the school,” Powell said.

Powell said everyone needs to be particularly careful this week – Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday – as temperatures are expected rise into the 90s with wind speeds up to 45 mph.

“We are in extremely critical danger right now,” Powell said. “Everyone needs to avoid doing anything that has any chance of starting a fi re because anything could turn out catastrophic very quickly.”

Last Monday and Tuesday, local and area fi remen were called to battle a wildfi re at Goodnight that ultimately burned 14,824 acres.

Also last Tuesday evening, a disaster was narrowly avoided at a house fi re at Fifth and McLean Streets in Clarendon. The Jason Morrow family said they smelled smoke but initially dismissed it because they thought it was the fi re at Goodnight. They soon discovered the smell was coming from their home.

With most of Clarendon’s department at Goodnight, two local trucks responded to the call at the Morrow house, assisted by one fi retruck from Mobeetie that was in town for supper. Powell said the fi re was determined to be electrical in nature and caused only minimal damage to the home.

Baseball sign-ups to be next week

The Clarendon Baseball Association will hold sign-ups for T-ball and coach pitch this Tuesday and Wednesday, April 17 and 18, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Bronco Gym. T-ball players must be ages 5 and 6 and coach pitch players must be ages 7 and 8.

The district court heard two pleas when it met in Clarendon last Monday, April 9.

District Attorney Luke Inman, along with Assistant District Harley Caudle, prosecuted the cases for the State of Texas, with the Honorable Judge Stuart Messer presiding.

Jared Johnson pleaded guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for two years for the Class A misdemeanor

offense of possession of marihuana. Johnson, 21 from Jacksonville, was arrested

by a Donley County Deputy for the offense that took place on August 20, 2017. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Johnson was required to pay $4,000 upfront, $458 in court costs, $180 lab restitution, and 100 hours of community service.

Jason Wade Martell pleaded guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication community

supervision for two years for the Class A misdemeanor offense of possession of marihuana.

Martell, 43 from Ruston, LA was arrested by Childress County Police Offi cer Pauline Gambol for the offense that took place on April 24, 2017. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Martell was required to pay a fi ne of $4,000 upfront, $354 in court costs, $180 lab restitution, and 100 hours of community service.

H’wick candidates forum set April 17

Candidates running for city council in Howardwick have been invited to a town hall forum next Tuesday, April 17, at the City Hall there.

The event is being sponsored by a new group calling themselves the Friends of Howardwick. One of the group’s members, Coy Cooper, said all nine candidates are being encouraged to attend the meeting, which will be at 6 p.m.

Local citizens can submit questions, which will be accepted up until 6 p.m., and a moderator from out of town is expected to lead the forum.

Elementary to host future students

Clarendon Elementary will be having Future Kindergarten Visitation on Thursday, May 16, from 10-11:30 a.m. Future students will visit the classroom and be served a free lunch.

If you know a child who will be fi ve years old by September 1, 2018, please call the Elementary offi ce (806-874-3855) with their name and phone number.

Rabies confi rmed in local case last week

The Clarendon Veterinary Hospital confi rmed to the ENTERPRISE this week that rabies is in Donley County.

Jeremy Powell said a Donley County adult horse was treated by a veterinarian in Claude last week. The horse died and tested positive for rabies.

Offi cials urge everyone to make sure their pets are vaccinated properly and to stay away from wild animals, especially normally nocturnal animals – like skunks and raccoons – that are active in the daytime.

St. Mary’s barbecue to be held Sunday

The 22nd annual St. Mary’s Day BBQ will be held this Sunday, April 15, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Donley County Activity Center. Advance tickets can be purchased by calling 874-1281. Adult admission is $15, kids ages six to 12 are $7, and kids ages fi ve and under eat free.

Hearing focuses on CISD security

Training teachers, raising kids right, and possibly arming personnel were all topics of discussion when the Clarendon school board held a public hearing Monday night, April 9.

Superintendent Mike Norrell started the hearing with an overview of some of the programs and security measures the Clarendon Consolidated Independent School District has adopted over the years and in recent months, including new measures implemented at the Clarendon Elementary just last week. More changes are in store, Norrell said, included security vestibules planned for construction the elementary and junior high and possibly the high school.

Local parent Chancy Cruise, who had spoken about security concerns at last month’s board meeting, was one of about a dozen parents and members of the public at Monday’s hearing and said he appreciated what had been done to lock down the elementary.

“It looks like y’all are really getting after it, and I appreciate that,” Cruise said. “We don’t want a jail but do want a secure school.”

Later it was Cruise who spoke up again and asked about board members’ feelings about arming school staff.

“I’m not against it,” Board President Wayne Hardin said, “but at the same time I’m not sold on it.”

Old Ashtola school burns

The 1930s-era Ashtola school building was destroyed Tuesday after an accidental grass fi re got too close to the building. Clarendon Fire Chief Jeremy Powell is urging all residents to be extremely careful this week as conditions will be right for a disasterous fi re to occur. Powell says people should avoid doing anything that might possibly cause a wildfi re through this Friday. COURTESY PHOTO / CLARENDON VFD FIREMAN JOEL HORN

2 OPINION The Clarendon Enterprise • April 12, 2018

Sinclair needs to be upfront about messageBy Gene PolicinskiInside the First Amendment

Sinclair Broadcasting’s recent promotional message on the state of today’s news – delivered to its TV audiences nationwide – is as protected by the First Amendment as it was an oafi sh attempt to hide corporate messaging under the veneer of local news reporting.

In other words, it was commentary from a conservative company that has a First Amendment right to express its views, but it was also a shoddy tactic that undermined the very thing Sinclair’s leadership claimed to support: good journalism.

Deadspin – an online sports news site – put together a now widely-shared video of news anchors from 45 Sinclair-owned American stations, all reading in synchrony from the same script. The video’s echo-chamber effect laid bare what many have described as an “Orwellian” attempt to deliver a persuasive message using trusted voices in local journalism.

The mash-up of TV anchors, delivering the script with varying degrees of sincerity, prompted dire warnings from left-leaning cable news commentators about media consolidation and ulterior political motives.

President Trump tweeted a defense of Sinclair, using the controversy to take yet another swipe at the same mainstream news outlets he frequently attacks: “So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased.”

Trump has it wrong – critics took aim at the method, not the message.

Let’s parse the actual effort. As it has in the past on various subjects, Sinclair’s top management – now in charge of TV stations in 81 markets across the nation – sent to its stations a one-minute script warning viewers of “fake news” and impugning the “one-sided news stories plaguing our country,” and the standards and goals of unnamed media outlets intent on pushing “their own personal bias and agenda to control ‘exactly what people think.’”

Anchors close the monologue by looking directly into the camera while delivering a solemn warning that “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.” Whew. As an old PR adage goes, “Nothing sells like sincerity – even if you have to fake it.”

Yes, so-called “fake news” – a term so often misused and fraught with political baggage that my Newseum Education colleagues prefer “false news” – is a problem, whether it rests in sloppy reporting, expressed or hidden bias, or outright falsehoods.

But why combat the problem with promotional messages designed to appear locally generated when they are not? Why require local news anchors – who, surveys tell us, are more trusted than others in today’s journalism world – to read a PR script with no indication to viewers that’s all they are doing?

For its part, Sinclair has not been bashful about its tactics or purpose. In a memo obtained by The Washington Post, a top executive at the company said criticism of the prepared statements comes from those “upset about our well-researched journalistic initiative focused on fair and objective reporting.”

Scott Livingston, senior VP for news at Sinclair, sent an email to The Baltimore Sun that said “The stories we are referencing in this promo are the unsubstantiated ones (i.e. fake/false) like ‘Pope Endorses Trump,’ which move quickly across social media and result in an ill-informed public...that’s the goal of these announcements: to reiterate our commitment to reporting facts in a pursuit of truth.”

So why not be truthful about the source of the promotional words? Sinclair’s stations are concentrated in cities and states where the majority voted for Trump in the 2016 election – and where audiences are likely to be particularly receptive of any message that questions the veracity of the news media.

Just label the segments as “commentary” and use someone other than a news anchor to deliver the message. Problem solved.

Some of those pushing back at Sinclair’s critics have argued that newspapers have editorial pages where such a message easily would pass ethical muster, whether locally written or “canned” content produced far from the home turf.

Yes, newspapers have editorial pages: sections clearly identifi ed as opinion, and where most publications reserve one well-known spot to deliver their own views.

Next time, Sinclair execs, do yourself and your massive national audience a favor – and fi ght “fake news” at the same time – by just being transparent about where your message is coming from.

One invites correction when declaring folks to be champions of anything.

I learned this lesson 60 years ago as the editor of a small-town newspaper, when a local farmer lugged in “the county’s largest watermelon.”

It looked like a record-setter to me; I snapped a picture for the next edition. Within hours of publication, several other farmers appeared – each proclaiming his melon to be larger. They wanted pictures, too, but settled for tepid corrections. On top of that, the Brown County Gazette publisher said “no more expensive picture engravings” – except for obituaries….

***** I risk similar responses today. Again, I wade innocently into

the dangerous, swirling waters of controversy. My claim is that Snyder, a community of some 12,000 souls in West Texas, ranks #1 in commuting. I’m referencing two daily highway grinds to and from work, remembering Bob Hope’s comment: “In Texas, there are miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.”

The late D.V. Merritt and Zeb Alexander – toiling in the 20th and 21st centuries, respectively – were both Snyder products, albeit born some 50 years apart. They traveled the same route to work – U.S. Highway 84 – but drove different directions in the a.m. and p.m.…

*****Merritt had the better of it,

direction-wise, that is. He served as Santa Fe’s agent in Snyder for a couple of decades, and when the position was phased out, he took a Santa Fe job in

Lubbock. He rose early each day in Snyder, the rising sun behind him for the 85-mile drive. At shift’s end, the sun was setting in his rearview mirror.

In his hometown, he was a community leader, church deacon and respected family man.

It is estimated that he drove some 700,000 miles, wearing out three Volkswagens….

*****Alexander, 6’ 4”, could pass for the

Marlboro man, but his only “smoke” emits from company vehicles’ tailpipes – initially a pick-up but the last two, Ford Expeditions.

The Vice President for Human Resources of Gravity Oil Field Services joined the company seven years ago, driving from his Lubbock home to his offi ce in Snyder. Now, Midland has been added to his territory for a company that began in 2004. Employees numbered 180 when he started. It grew to 2,000 two years later.

He squints in both directions for his commute, facing the sun both in the going out and the coming in….

*****He racked up 110,000 miles on his

fi rst vehicle in 14 months. If U.S. 84 were the Jericho Road, he’d be the Good Samaritan. A chain and other emergency items at the ready, he commonly rescues stranded motorists foiled by icy roads

and sometimes high water. He recently retired a vehicle with 305,000 miles on it; it had been used to pull 80 motorists to safety.

With dogged determination to see his HR teams in several “oil patch” locations, he’s used to driving 300 miles daily, but the true “marathon commute” a few years ago covered some 900 miles. He left Lubbock at 3 a.m., with stops in Perryton, Monahans, and Snyder before returning to Lubbock at midnight.

Zeb likely will reach Merritt’s mileage mark in a couple of years. He has logged almost a half-million miles to date, determined daily to see HR team members daily in Snyder, Midland or other “oil patch” towns….

*****On weekends he’s home with his

family. He’s a church elder, and helps Michele – his wife of 11 years – rear their three sons – Noah, 10; Caleb, 7, and Jonah, 3. Zeb, a star football player and nominee for “Mr. Snyder High School,” is a leader in his sons’ sports leagues.

The Alexanders’ home was formerly owned by the late Preston Smith, Governor of Texas (1969-1973).

Merritt was known for his well-ordered, Christian life. Zeb is, too. His was evident at Howard Payne University, where I handed him his diploma. Both men deserve “good-to-ride-the-river-with” status, or, in this case, U.S. Highway 84….

By Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. Jodey Arrington (TX-19)

Cotton is deeply woven into the cultural and economic fabric of Texas. Despite seismic changes in the state’s economy from the fi rst wildcatters in East Texas at the turn of the last century to a different kind of wildcatters who built the new Silicon Hills of Austin, cotton’s infl uence and importance has remained.

Texas has consistently led the nation in cotton production - the 5 million acres per year contribution of the Lone Star State is about one-half of the cotton produced by the nation as a whole. Each year, cotton is the leading cash crop in the state, generating $2.2 billion in crop value in 2016 alone. Cotton’s broader economic footprint in Texas has been estimated to be as high as $24 billion annually.

Despite the economic contributions that cotton brings, the industry has suffered from extreme weather and political whims. The most recent examples were the devastating drought that hit the plains of West Texas in 2011, and cotton’s lone exclusion from the Title 1 safety net in the 2014 Farm Bill. All of this in the face of unfair competitive advantages for countries like China who enjoy higher government

subsidies and lower production costs. Cotton producers are ready for the next chapter.

The chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, fellow Texan Mike Conaway, is deeply committed to fi nding workable and reliable policy solutions to ensure a viable cotton industry. We have pledged our support to helping him achieve this goal and enact a new Farm Bill before the current law expires. And we’ve already begun to work toward that end. In the February disaster spending package, a seed cotton provision was signed into law that ensures cotton producers have the same risk management tools for their crop as their neighbors who farm corn, grain sorghum, and wheat. Additionally, USDA rolled out ginning cost share assistance as a lifeline for cotton farmers as they transition back into the Farm Bill’s safety net and who, without this immediate relief, could be put out of business.

Fortunately, cotton farmers still have a voice in Washington. In the last several months, we have met with a number of producers who have shared their stories of the challenges of recent years and the optimism for a brighter future in farm country. These farmers, through a variety of national and

Texas-based cotton groups, have been meeting with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to describe the crisis in cotton country and how we can improve farm policy moving forward. Homegrown food and fi ber is a matter of national security, and while we see fi elds white with cotton each fall in and around the Lubbock area, the case for cotton needs to be brought to the attention of our urban and suburban counterparts in Congress.

As President Eisenhower once said, “Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the corn fi eld.” Less than 2 percent of Americans grow the crops that feed and clothe our families. Unless we want to depend on foreign countries for our food and fi ber needs, it is in our best economic and national security interest to support the hard-working men and women of agriculture.

While we cannot fully protect them from the volatility of the market or the vagaries of the weather, we owe it to our cotton farmers to make sure they have the tools they need to compete in the global marketplace and maintain this great agriculture industry. Together, we’ll work to ensure that in Texas, cotton remains king.

CC sets ‘Clean’ performance

Clarendon College Theatre Department invites all audiences to the new original short play Clean by Clarendon College’s own Rodney Donahue on Thursday, April 19 and Friday, April 20 in the Harned Sis-ters Fine Arts Center at Clarendon College’s Clarendon campus. Doors open at 6:35; the play begins promptly at 7:00pm.

Clean is an original comedy about the opportunities life offers us. In the play, Tammy, a human resources manager, hates her boss. During a seemingly typical workday for Tammy, things become atypical when she learns she is interviewing a hitman for a position in the company who happens to have an interesting alternative to her situation with her boss. Clean asks us what it means to judge others and how we clean both our messes and our consciences. The play is suitable for audience mem-bers of every age.

Hi, gang! I am sending my $25 to become a member of The Texas Sheriff’s Association and support Sheriff Blackburn. This is the only place I will contribute to, and that is because I was a regular member for many years as a Deputy Sheriff.

Wow, what a fi re! We need to support our local volunteer fi re departments in Clarendon, Hedley, and Howardwick and show them that we care. Maybe somebody could sponsor a big BBQ this summer for them, and we could buy tickets that would help them to buy needed supplies and equipment.

Be sure to read the information presented this week covering No-Talk Phone Scams, Call Center Fraud, Smartphone Swindles, Curiosity Cons, The one-ring rip-off and the Scammers pretending to be with the FTC. Have fun and learn, it is very good information that you may want to share with your “older” friends. Bob

“No-Talk Phone Scams,” by Sid Kirchheimer, AARP Bulletin.

Dialing deceivers don’t need you to say anything to rip you off.

Most telephone scammers rely on talk, getting you to pick up the phone so they can give their impersonations of IRS agents, noble fundraisers, tech-support saviors or grandkids in need. But with a new breed of telephone fraudsters, sometimes you don’t even need to say “Hello” to get ripped off. Here’s how some of these crooks may target you. Call Center Fraud: There are scam artists who spend hours calling the customer service centers

of banks, i n s u r a n c e c o m p a n i e s and other institutions, posing as people like you, to try to access a c c o u n t s . These crimes have more than doubled in the past year. “That’s because reps only ask a couple of simple authentication questions maybe your mother’s maiden name or your Social Security number before you can transfer money or do whatever,” explains Ken Shuman of Pindrop, a company that provides antifraud services to call centers.

Scammers start by assembling information on you, stolen in data breaches, purchased on the “dark web” or gleaned with a simple Google search. Then, working from boiler rooms (often overseas), they spend all day phoning different call centers to determine if you have accounts with those companies. With your data in hand, they can often answer the authentication questions that call centers ask.

ATM PINs are especially prized and vulnerable, adds Shuman. He notes that there are only 10,000 possible combinations for a four-digit PIN. Unless a bank’s system blocks calls after several tries and some don’t there are scammers who call back 150 times a day, trying different PINs until they get it right. Then they immediately log in as you, change your PIN and take over your

account. Smartphone Swindles: An

ever-growing segment of the 20 billion text messages sent each day are attempts at defrauding people through “smishing” (a word that combines the SMS technology that sends text messages and phishing, a ploy to coax confi dential information out of you). Typically, a scam texter will fake a problem with one of your fi nancial accounts and ask you for data. Or they might pitch low-cost mortgages or credit cards, or promise free gift cards. If you respond by texting back confi dential personal information, your identity may be stolen. Millions of these smishing texts can be launched simultaneously.

Your best defense is to be stingy with your phone number. Scam texts may result if you provide it to contests, say, or businesses. Mobile apps can also be to blame. When you install them, the fi ne print in the user agreement may grant permission to the app’s developer to use or sell your phone number and sometimes even the numbers of your contacts. In one recently popular scheme, scammers get your contacts from mobile apps, then text you posing as people you know to seek money or ID-theft-worthy information, says Jonathan Sasse, marketing executive at First Orion, a digital security fi rm that provides the mobile app PrivacyStar.

One more important tip: Never follow a text’s instructions to push a designated key to opt out of future messages. Instead, forward the

questionable text to short code 7726, so cellphone carriers can block that sender. You can further bolster defenses against mobile scams which have quadrupled in the past two years with call-blocking apps such as Hiya, Truecaller, NoMoRobo and PrivacyStar.

Curiosity Cons: Knowing that you are likely to ignore unrecognized or private numbers on caller ID, today’s crooks use software that allows them to display fake numbers that are hard to resist. Here are some variations. The neighbor ploy Your area code and prefi x are displayed, so the call appears to be from a neighbor or nearby business. “Fewer people are comfortable blocking local numbers, increasing scammers’ success rates,” notes Jonathan Nelson of Hiya. And the fake number makes it hard for law enforcement to track. The “Hey, there’s a call from my own phone number” scam It’s hard to resist answering a call from your own number, which scammers can simulate. And they are able to get around any call blocking that you’ve set up.

The one-ring rip-off: Criminals sometimes program auto-dialers to make repeated calls to you, each disconnecting after just one ring. They know this might spur you into calling back the displayed number to complain. There’s double trouble if you call area codes such as 268, 664 and 876.

These are for Caribbean countries and other places that have high per-minute phone charges. One scam involves getting you to call one

of those numbers, then getting you to hold through transfers that rack up your bill until a scammer gets on the line and starts a fraudulent pitch.

“FTC asking for access to your computer? It’s a scam.” by Andrew Johnson, FTC

Scammers pretending to be with the FTC or with FTC refund administrators are calling, asking for remote access to your computer. It’s been reported that the scammers are calling specifi cally about the FTC’s Advanced Tech Support refund program. Their goal is to make you think you are moments away from getting money that’s owed to you and, to get the money, all you need to do is allow them to connect to your computer. It’s a scam.

These kinds of scams, where imposters ask for remote access to your computer, are called tech support scams, and they exist in many forms. They may try to trick you into installing malware, sell you software that’s worthless, or direct you to websites and ask you to enter your credit card number and other personal information. They may also ask you to pay them by buying gift cards or prepaid debit cards at local stores or online.

The FTC and its refund administrators will never request remote access to your device, or ask you to pay to receive a refund. Any caller who does is a scammer. If you get a similar call, hang up immediately, report it to the FTC, and spread the word. It may help someone close to you avoid a scam.

Stay safe out there!

AARP warns of scammers hitting your phones

W e l l , s o m e t i m e s those weather-guessers are right, but it seems they are right with bad news, and this time they were right. S a t u r d a y morning the temperature was a frigid 23° with a cold north wind, it fi nally warmed above freezing in the afternoon.

Being a native Panhandler, I am not surprised at the weather, but it

does disappoint sometimes.I have some wonderful news to

report, Howardwick Baptist Church has a new pastor. Bro. Jim Fox and wife Nancy have been accepted by the membership and will begin serving the community around the fi rst of May.

Bro. Jim thought it was time to retire. They moved back home to Skellytown, but the Lord had other plans, and the people of Howardwick agreed with the Lord. The congregation looks forward to the leadership of Bro. Jim and Nancy. God bless you both as you make this move.

Howardwick welcomes new pastor

Last Saturday, my dad got me a new architectural program called SketchUp. We recently got this at our school, but we haven’t gotten to use it much.

I decided I wanted to have it to play around with and see what I could build. SketchUp is where you can go and make two dimensional shapes into a three dimensional objects with the push-pull tool. You can also make windows and interiors

into the object you are building.

My recent projects are a 1,200 square feet house and then I did a 26,000 square feet mansion. Before I started making three dimensional houses, I would go

into bird’s eye view and make the fl oor plans. Then once I started experimenting with the push-pull tool, I would make furniture and I would build the house from the fl oorplan up.

I am hoping we can do more in SketchUp in our computer class for the next six weeks. I think it is a fun program and an educational program that I think can help students in the near future.

We are working to correct the problem. For more information, please contact [John C Molder] at [806-874-3438] or [City of Clarendon, PO Box 1089, Clarendon, Texas 79226].

I neglected to take enough samples to satisfy the lead and copper rules . I was required to take 3 sam-ples (1 Point Of Entry) + (2 Distribution samples) I took only 2 samples (1 Point of Entry + 1 Distri-bution sample). The samples were well within tolerances but we did not meet the required number of samples per the rule. We are resampling the first 2 quarters of 2018 to meet the requirements of the TCEQ . The testing is required because of a new water well that was brought online and then deter-mined to be “slightly corrosive or corrosive/ aggressive water” and this initial monitoring / testing is required to determine the levels of corrosivity or the water coming from the well in question and how it affects the system as a whole. All samples for the current quarter have been collected and reported to the TCEQ. Additional samples will be collected April 11,2018 and July 11, 2018.

Please share this information with all other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (i.e., people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

LEAD & COPPER RULE MONITORING AND REPORTING VIOLATION MANDATORY LANGUAGE - TIER III

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATERThe City of Clarendon has violated the monitoring and reporting requirements set by Texas Commis-sion on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in Chapter 30, Section 290, Subchapter F. Even though these were not emergencies, as our customers, you have the right to know what happened and what we are doing (or did) to correct these situations.

We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During the January to June and July to December 2018 monitoring periods we did not complete all monitoring or testing for Water Quality Parameters and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.

The table below lists the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last year, how often we are supposed to sample for water quality parameters, how many samples we are supposed to take, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the date on which the follow-up samples will be taken.

Payton Havens scored three runs and Andy Davis drove in three.

The Broncos also held a double-header with Valley and shut the Patriots out 14-0 in the fi rst game and 11-1 in the second.

“Josh Cobb started the game with a homerun, his second, and ended it big pitching a no-hitter,”

Elam said. “Nathan Shadle had a big day at the plate going four for four and driving in four.”

Havens was also hot at the plate and posted a triple and driving in two runs.

“We had several players with doubles,” Elam said. “(It was) a good all-around game.”

The Bronco pitching staff continued their dominance in the second game with Valley.

Hunsaker was had three hits that drove in three runs. P. Elam scored three runs and Zane Sneathen had two hits that nearly went out and were good for doubles. Cobb added his third homerun of the year.

Accident sends one to hospital

A Claude woman had to be airlifted to Amarillo last Monday following an accident in downtown Clarendon.

Donley County Deputy Miranda Betts said 40-year-old Amanda Willoughby was northbound on Kearney Street in a silver sedan when she crossed US 287 and was hit by a semi-truck driven by 26-year-old Karanvir Singh of Clovis, Calif., who was traveling eastbound and disregarded the red light.

Betts said Willoughby’s car was spun around by the force of the impact and came to rest next to the Herring Bank building. The Clarendon Volunteer Fire Department used the Jaws of Life to

Hardin said there are many issues to consider when it comes to the discussion of arming school personnel.

“These people were trained to be educators not security guards,” Hardin said. “And if the only training you’ve got is your CHL training, you are woefully under trained for that.”

School Trustee Weldon Sears said arming personnel has been discussed as one option.

“We’re looking at all the tools available to use,” Sears said. “It’s certainly something that could be worked out.”

Trustee Will Thompson also said the board had talked about the pros and cons of arming teachers and also said there is no single answer for school security.

“Most shooters are linked to bullying,” Thompson said. “We need to be instilling the Golden Rule and what kind of character you have. I think character education will create a bigger impact than arming teachers. We need the cooperation of parents and the community to do that.”

Trustee Reneé Mott also put the focus on parenting.

“All the parents here (at the hearing) are good parents,” she said, “but you’ve got to be involved not just with your kids but with other kids also. I know I never had a problem getting on to any of my kids’ friends.”

Hardin also focused on today’s culture as a problem.

“I went to school here in the 70s. We had shotguns and rifl es in pickups in the parking lot, but we didn’t shoot each other,” he said. “We’ve got a culture problem.”

Cruise himself also said that he was not convinced arming school personnel is the right thing to do.

“I don’t really know that I like the idea or not,” he said.

In response to comments Monday night, Norrell said CCISD is planning for more training for teachers to help identify troubled youth and combating bullying continues to be something the school works on.

Parent Deborah Dale asked if there were any programs for parents

to help them identify troubled kids. Norrell said there is nothing formal for that currently.

Some parents talked about additional security concerns and places where security could be improved. Elizabeth Zongker asked if the school had enough money for the security measures being talked about and put in place.

Norrell responded that the school has a line item for security in its budget but it isn’t enough. The school also has a fund balance that he said was “in very good shape” and said there are ways for the school to borrow money.

Cruise asked about raising taxes, but CCISD’s tax rate is capped at $1.17 per $100 valuation. Hardin said it would take voter approval through something like a bond election to go over that. Parent Corey Gaither said he would vote for whatever as long as it means his kid’s safety.

School offi cials said security has long been a priority for the district and work and discussions will continue.

Cruise also asked if the board would hold more public hearings in the future, and Hardin said the board could certainly do that. Sears said the school would likely be surveying parents about security in the near future as well.

The public hearing lasted almost an hour, after which the board set to work on its regular agenda, which include a report on a security audit. That report and discussion was held in closed session.

Other items of business Monday night included administrative reports, a quarterly investment report, and the acceptance of the resignation of one employee in the administration offi ce, Nelda Woodard, who is retiring.

A report was also presented on trustee training hours as follows: Robin Ellis 11, Wayne Hardin 23, Wes Hatley 5, Reneé Mott 13, Chuck Robertson 5, Weldon Sears 6, and Will Thompson 25. Four of the board members - Ellis, Hatley, Robertson, and Sears - are defi cient in the number of hours they need in the proper areas.
