A Boise City infant, Kathy Esparza died along with the three crew members. By C.F. David Compiled from the reports of Jim Rosebery, The Boise City News, Camie Clark and Jerome Curry, The Moore- County News-Press, Photos by C.F. David, The Moore County News-Press Except for a fateful early morning flight ten years ago, Kathy Esparza would very likely be a Wildcat fourth-grader this spring. But Kathy, and three young adults trying to save her life, were gone in mere minutes, victims of fate and freezing ice. Yesterday, Wednesday March 10, was the tenth anniversary of the medical helicopter crash that claimed one of our own. Baby Kathy was just four months old on Friday March 10, 2000 when she and three crew members of Amarillo’s Lifestar perished just across the state line about one-half mile west of High- way 385 toward Dalhart, Texas. The aircraft was crewed by Pilot Ed Sanneman, 33, Nurse Lauren Stone, 30, and paramedic Terry Griffith, 35. Baby Kathy, as reported then by Jim Rosebery of The Boise City News, and Camie Clark, of the Moore County News, in Dumas, Texas had been in respi- ratory distress when the decision was made to meet the air ambu- lance at the state line at about 5:40 a.m. A cold front had fogged in the area and the flight had to be short- County Remembers Kathy Esparza; Wednesday Marked Decade since Lifestar Crash ened to the state line due to the poor visibility. Leticia, Kathy’s mother, un- able to board the helicopter with Kathy, drove on and had ar- rived in Amarillo before hear- ing of the fatal crash. Visibility was near zero when the transfer was made, and it was about 6:05 when the chopper left the ground for Amarillo. Darwood Davis, of the Ci- marron County EMS and driver of the ground ambulance, was quoted by News-Press Editor Jerome Curry as having last seen the 1994 Eurocoptor following Highway 385 south at a height of about 20 feet. According to a later article by Curry, ice forming on the rotor, was the suspect in the crash. Curry quoted then Ci- marron County Sheriff Ken Miller as having said that ice had built up to about ¼ inch on his cruiser while he was wait- ing for the transfer at the state line. The wreckage of the craft was found much later in the morning after the fog had be- gun to burn away. The ambu- lance had plowed into a pas- ture just west of Highway 385 only about a mile and one-half from where it took off. It left a charred scar of about 75 by 30 yards in the Dallam County pastureland, four dead, and countless lives changed forever. By C.F. David Felix Reyes Segovia made his initial appearance in a Ci- marron County Courtroom on Wednesday, March 3. Segovia, 39, has been charged with First Degree Murder and Assault with intent to kill, with a Deadly Weapon, a knife. The charges stem from an incident nearly 13 years ago that resulted in the stabbing and death of 41-year- old David Crabtree of Boise City, and the stabbing and wounding of Tim Thrash, 50, of Felt. According to documents obtained by The Boise City News, at about 4:25 a.m. on Oct. 15, 1997, Segovia, Crabtree and Thrash were playing cards in Segovia’s Fugitive Felix Segovia’s March 3 Court Appearance ends Search of Nearly 13 years FELIX REYES SEGOVIA rented home in the 200 block of South Munson Street in Boise City, when a disagreement erupted. According to Thrash, during that disagreement Segovia pro- duced a large knife and stabbed and slashed Crabtree, numerous times resulting in his death. Thrash, who was later trans- ferred to an Amarillo, Texas hos- pital, was stabbed and slashed as well. Thrash told authorities that he [Thrash] removed Crabtree from the home and placed him in the back of a pickup truck to take him for medical assistance at Cimar- ron Memorial Hospital. However, before he could arrive he struck another pickup on South Locust St. Upon his arrival at the traffic accident, Boise City Police Chief Dale Harper found Crabtree in the back of Thrash’s pickup, (he was later declared dead at Cima- rron Memorial Hospital). Harper, in his affidavit to search, wrote that Thrash told him [Harper] that when he left the Munson residence that Segovia, the knife, cards and bloodstains were still at the scene. However, Segovia, a Mexi- can National, had fled, leaving among other things, his Mexi- can Passport behind. A pursuit of nearly 13 years had begun. Though there had been re- wards offered, Segovia contin- ued to elude arrest, until he was located, arrested last year, and recently extradited from Mexico. During his court appearance last Wednesday, the decision was made to hold Segovia with- out bond as a flight risk. Also, a motion was made that Segovia provide a DNA sample and a court order was issued for that sample. Segovia, who is being held in the Texas County Detention Center, will next appear in the Cimarron County court room on June 1. A finding of guilty could bring the death penalty, life, or life without parole; the assault with a deadly weapon charge could carry a sentence of up to 20 years. On Saturday, March 6, 2010, approximately forty con- cerned citizens, mostly from Cimarron County, attended the second of two Tea Parties held in Boise City. A brief review was given of what had taken place at the first Tea Party meeting, and then discussion continued about the critical is- sues in our government. Cop- ies of four resolutions for people to take, sign and send to law- makers were handed out, along with the names and contact in- formation of our Congressmen who have not yet committed one way or the other on how they intend to vote for health care legislation. These resolu- tions pertained to: a fair tax system; term limits; health care reform; and cap and trade. After some discus- sion, the group decided to fo- cus on the what it felt was the most urgent issue and make a resolution as a group. It was agreed that the health care re- form bill in Congress is the most critical issue and a resolution opposing the bill was unani- mously voted on. The group then de- cided to organize under the name “Cimarron County Tea Party Patriots, (Tea standing for TAXED ENOUGH AL- Cimarron County TEAParty Orginizes, Group Expresses Concern over Nation’s Path by Pam Sheldon READY). Officers were nomi- nated and voted on. Galen Smith was elected Chairman, Bill Ramsey was elected Vice Chair- man, and Pam Shelden was elected Secretary. Then a Mis- sion Statement Committee was selected. Those selected were Janice Smith, Steve Cryer, Don Stark, Bill Ramsey, Daryl McDaniel and Ray Eslinger. Copies of materials from sev- eral other similar organizations (other Tea Party groups, The 9/ 12 Project, The Oak Initiative) were presented and the newly formed Tea Party voted to adopt the 9/12 Project Principles and Values which are as follows: NINE PRINCIPLES 1. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. 2. America is Good. 3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. 4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate au- thority, not the government. 5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. 6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. 7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with whom I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. 8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. 9. The government works for me, I do not answer to them, they answer to me. 12 VALUES Honesty Reverence Hope Personal Re- sponsibility Thrift Hu- mility Charity Gratitude Sincerity Moderation Hard Work Courage The next meeting was set for Saturday, March 27, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. The location will be announced. EVERYONE is encouraged to attend. The Ci- marron County Tea Party Pa- triots group is not affiliated with any particular political party, it does not support any particular political party, and it is not rais- ing funds. It is a group of people who are very concerned about the direction our government is taking our country, and who be- lieve that we can and must do something to change what is tak- ing place in our land. Our ad- ministration is pushing for a vote on health care reform in the middle of March.
