Thanks to a 4-1 vote Monday morning by the Commissioners Court, the Young County Elections Office will be the first in Texas to purchase the most advanced elec-tion equipment currently available on the market.

The equipment comes from Hart Intercivic’s Verity line, and from the start, Young County Elections Administrator Lauren Sullivan led the months-long campaign to con-vince county officials to allocate funds for the hardware.

Three more Young County offices made their propos-a l s b e f o re the Commis-sioners Court last Tuesday as the self-assigned Aug. 25 deadline to complete the county budget approaches.

The actual state-mandat-ed deadline to hand in a finished coun-ty budget is Sept. 30, the day before the new 2015 fis-cal year, but county officials are confident they can round it out a month sooner.

Tuesday afternoon, July 22, the Young County Judge, Tax Assessor and District Clerk each made their budget pre-sentations before the court, and aside from requests for more continuing education, most line items decreased in funding or stayed the same.

As outgoing District Clerk Jamye Rogers presented his office’s needs to the court, incoming District Clerk Jamie Land was also in attendance and gave notes on office needs in preparation for her transition into the job Jan. 1.

“Basically, the only change

that Jamye Rogers requested was in the part time line, and that was to reflect a change we had made a year ago to provide for $12 an hour maxi-mum pay for part time help,” County Judge John Bullock said. “So he’s increased that line to reflect that same num-ber of hours at $12 an hour rather than $10 an hour.”

Bullock said that commis-sioners did increase funding for education in the district clerk’s office from $3,000 to $4,800 because Land will be a new clerk and the office staff has less than four years of experience collectively.

“The other increases were just kind of due to office changes,” Bullock said. “Like the bond expense was going to be a little bit more because of the new, incoming district clerk who will be bonded for a four year period.”

Aside from Rogers, Bullock made a presentation of his own and continued the trend of increasing education funds for county employees.

“In my presentation, we added a slight amount to the education,” he said. “We added $250. It was $2,750 and we raised it to $3,000.”

The county judge also re-quested an additional $10,000 for an emergency contin-gency fund.

“This was mainly for the instance, say, of a wildfire, where a property owner wasn’t available, or a dozer was needed, and there wasn’t anybody available to take re-

sponsibility of that expense. Then we could go ahead and hire that dozer to help us out with that fire,” he said. “It would be utilized in the instance of any kind of emer-gency.”

The court also discussed Young County’s financial com-mitment to a new bond super-visor. $10,000 was requested of the county, and Bullock said commissioners would likely acquiesce to that expenditure.

“There’s a budget that has been produced for that office by the district judge that’s got all of the necessary expendi-tures in there,” he said. “And the cost is a total budget of $56,710 and change.”

Bullock added that District Judge Stephen Bristow has been in contact with all of the other contributing entities in the 90th district, including the City of Breckenridge, Stephens County, the City of Graham, the City of Olney and Young County, and each indicated a willingness to contribute funds to a bond supervisor’s salary to some degree.

“And we (Young County) ten-tatively did the same thing,” Bullock said. “But I think the commissioners will go along with that.”

Should there be a new bond supervisor to serve the 90th judicial district, that person would be considered an em-ployee of the City of Graham, and will require inter-local agreements among all of the entities contributing to the position’s salary.

County offices request funds

About 15 minutes later, of-ficers responded to another vehicle burglary report in the same area. The complainant there also reported that he had three vehicles burglar-ized, and personal property, including a computer tablet, was taken.

Shortly after the second call, officers responded to four additional vehicle burglaries in the area.

Two of the victims reported that the suspects walked into an open garage door to burglarize the vehicles, and credit and debit cards and wallets were taken, along with a rifle from one vehicle.

The same morning, Graham police also responded to two reports of vehicle burglaries in the 100 block of Chaparral on Spivey Hill.

According to the press re-lease, it is not known if the ve-hicle burglaries on Chaparral are linked in any way to those committed on Rogers Drive.

Lee Biebighauser, who lives on Chaparral Street, was one of the victims.

“This has never happened before (up on Spivey Hill) that I know of,” Beibighauser said. “At least not in the five or so years that I’ve lived up there.”

Biebighauser said that he was the last person in his vehicle Wednesday evening, and upon entering it Thurs-day morning, noticed that the console had been rummaged through and the glove com-partment was open.

Chief Widner again warned citizens to lock their homes and vehicle doors, and take out or hide valuables that are in the vehicle after parking it.

“There were obviously other vehicles in this neighborhood that were not burglarized,” Widner said. “After taking the above reports from the vic-tims, our officers performed a canvas of the neighbor-hood and learned that there were several vehicles in the area with the doors locked. These people made sure their doors were locked and did not become victims. I would venture to say that the crimi-nals passed over the locked vehicles because (they were) not an easy target.”

The GPD press release states that the burglaries are still under investigation and leads are currently being followed.

Widner added that neigh-borhood patrols are being increased in an attempt to catch the person or persons responsible.

on insurance rates in Graham, he said.

According to Cottongame, rates shouldn’t be impacted significantly with the drop from a five to a seven, and for insurance rates to go any lower the ISO rating would have to be improved to four. This would require the addition of firefight-ing personnel, which would in turn increase the tax burden for citizens, he added.

“We are doing an exceptional job (fighting fires) already,” Cottongame said.

The main reason the rating got worse is because the City of Graham and Graham Fire Rescue are using the 2006 ver-sion of the International Fire and Building Codes, not the most recent version released in 2012, said GFR Chief Dennie Covey. The addition of a new primary fire truck requested in next year’s pending budget would have no impact on the rating, he added.

The International Building Code and International Fire Code are very broad and must be heavily amended to work

in a small rural community such as Graham. Amending the 2012 codes to fit Graham would yield no actual differ-ence from the 2006 codes that have already been amended, Cottongame said, adding that “some of the new provisions are absurd.”

The rate drop is an example of big bureaucracy getting in it’s own way, Cottongame said. The adoption of the 2102 Inter-national Building and Fire codes would have no actual impact on code enforcement in Graham, it would just change the year in the codes from 2006 to 2012.

Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Da-vid was charged with amending the 2006 International Fire Code for Graham, a process that took him one year, he said.

Based on his own experience,

Schweighofer said that a ma-jority of the homes in Graham are still rated at a five. Homes on the outskirts of town, near the Graham Municipal Airport for example, could possibly be rated at a seven.

“For the past year, year and a half, If you live next door to Graham Fire Department, your ISO rating is five, its starts off at a five and just goes out from there,” Schweighofer said. “Anytime you’re over 1,000 feet from a fire hydrant or over five road miles from a fire depart-ment your ISO rating goes up from there. I just don’t know if that’s accurate at seven. When I pull up houses in Graham, through various different com-panies, it pulls them up at a five. It would be news to me if it had gone to a seven.”

Sullivan said that accord-ing to her research, Young County paid about $260,000 for its current equipment 10 years ago.

Once county of f icials

learned what Ector was will-ing to pay, most agreed with Sipes that it was time to sign with Hart, and Young County Commissioner Matt Pruitt remained the only standout.

“I heard what the taxpayer wanted, and I voted with the taxpayer in mind,” Pruitt said.

But regardless of the mon-etary debate surrounding the

situation in Young County, Scheibel said that buying Young County’s old equip-ment makes solid financial sense for Ector County.

“I know it’s a lot cheaper than what Hart would charge us for the same but refur-bished equipment,” she said. “This deal with Young County will amount to significant sav-ings for Ector.”

Anytime you’re over 1,000 feet from a fire hydrant or over five road miles from a fire department your ISO rating goes up from there.”

WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 2014 LIFESTYLESCrisis Center on the road to a new facility

BY JULIANNE MURRAH

[email protected]

At first glance, the interior of the Graham AreaCrisis Cen-ter looks updated with fresh paint, carpet and laminate flooring. But a quick trip to to the rooms housed in the old cell block on the third floor proves the center is in need of a major change.

The wheels are slowly start-ing to move on the road to a new crisis center.

Joanie Edwards of Weath-erford recently released the autobiographical book “God at the Intersection,” explain-ing how an unexpected pit stop in Graham changed her life and led to an upcoming fundraiser for a new crisis center.

After going through a diffi-cult divorce, Edwards made a wrong turn on her way to stay with her sister in Fort Worth. She and her two chil-dren ended up staying at the GACC where she met Crisis Center Executive Director Don Oldfield.

Edwards and her children stayed at the center for a few weeks until local donations and determination put them back on their feet.

She met and married Jud Edwards of Graham, and the couple moved to Weather-ford. The dark days leading up to her stint in Graham inspired her to write about how her faith and the GACC, along with community mem-bers, changed her life. She partnered with Oldfield and made it her mission to donate part of her book’s proceeds toward a new crisis center in Graham.

To help boost funding for the project, volunteers and com-munity members will host the sold out “Raise the Roof” fundraiser at the Wildcatter Ranch on Saturday, Aug. 2.

“I felt like if we’re going to do something like this, we really have to get the com-munity behind it and let them know the needs of the Crisis Center,” Edwards said.

Edwards and Oldfield have visited crisis centers together in Wichita Falls and Weather-ford to get an idea of Graham’s needs.

“We will need volunteers as we grow,” Edwards said, adding that most of the services at the Wichita and Weatherford facilities host a number of volunteers for vari-ous tasks. “They are helping women with job interviews, finding clothing and apparel for job interviews, providing them learning skills, help-ing them get a GED, getting them enrolled in technical programs.”

Edwards and Oldfield said that the current facility doesn’t have enough room to provide services for women, either battered or homeless (most times with children), to better their situations. GACC is housed in the old Young County Jail. Built in 1921, the building is made of cinder block, bricks and metal and has four cell blocks — three of which have been transformed into five bedrooms, a dining/kitchen/living room area and a family bathroom. One cell block is used for storage be-cause it would cost too much to remove the old bars, bunks and walls, Oldfield said.

“I talked to a business man

who wanted the bars,” Old-field said. “He brought some people in to give a price to do it and they said it would cost $10,000-$15,000, so it is cost prohibitive.”

The three-story building still has its original hanging gallows, complete with a hook and a lever that opens the drop door under a prisoner’s feet. Three winding sets of narrow stairs lead to the top, which stays pretty warm in the summer and ice cold in the winter. Even though the rooms have been renovated throughout the years, struc-turally, the building’s layout isn’t ideal, Edwards said.

“The rooms need to be con-figured differently,” Edwards said. “We also need an educa-tion room and lab. Residents are actually pursuing jobs or higher education. They need a place where they can meet with mentors. It’s important that every community has a crisis center for women and children.”

Both Oldfield and Edwards stressed the need for an eleva-tor — another costly expense that the three-story facility doesn’t offer.

“Twenty years ago when I started here, Peggy Graham wanted to see how much it would cost to get an elevator here,” Oldfield said. “She said that it would cost $25,000, and that didn’t even include the demolition cost.”

With regard to location, Edwards and Oldfield think the crisis center should be near either the Graham Police Department or the Young County Sheriff’s Office.

“We’re in the genesis stage, and we are going to stay here until we are completely knowledgeable (of our op-tions),” Edwards said. “There are some hard costs involved in locating and putting con-tracts on the land. We do have ideas, but we are just waiting until we’re actually able to pull the trigger before we go into contract on something.”

Edwards hopes the new cri-sis center will break ground by summer 2015. Until then, Oldfield is keeping the cur-rent one in the best condition possible.

This county-owned jail, constructed in 1921, is the current location of the Graham Area Crisis Center. The Crisis Center was established in the building in 1984 and offers five bedrooms, a shared bathroom and a family area and kitchen. (Photos by Julianne Murrah)

The kitchen and family living area was updated by Oak Street Baptist Church. Three of the five bedrooms have been updated, and two are in need of remodeling. Although the Crisis Center has seen some updates, there is not enough room for all of the center’s needs.

The Graham Area Crisis Center consists of four cell blocks, three of which that have been transformed into livable spaces for families in crisis. This cell block remains in its origi-nal state because it is too costly to remove all of the old bars bunks and concrete walls.

This nearly century-old jail still has it’s original hanging gallows.

Football camp focus on fundamentals, fall season BY TORI CUMMINGS

[email protected]

Future Steer football play-ers took over Newton Field this week in preparation for the upcoming fall season.

Athletes ranging from third to ninth grade learned the fundamentals of football from the Graham junior high and high school coaches.

The younger group, which consisted of third to sixth graders, learned the basics of every position, coach Clay McChristian said. Each athlete spent time doing drills at each position so they could get a feel for what each one does.

“You just want to kind of develop a love, kind of a passion at this age,” Mc-Christian said. “And walk away saying ‘I like the game of football. It’s fun.’”

The older kids did spent

the mornings doing specific drills based on the position they will play in the fall.

They competed in one-on-one and team drills that resemble what they will do

during the season. McChristian said the older

camp was run similar to a junior high or high school practice. That way the ath-letes will be familiar with the terminology and workouts.

Freshman Clayton Moody knew that he needed to stay in shape and improve as a second-year football player.

He liked getting to work with the high school coaches and learning how the Steers run their system, which he will start running next week at two-a-day practices.

The camp also gave him a

chance to show his competi-tive side as a lineman.

“I really enjoy being ag-gressive and getting there and getting the blocks and hitting people,” Moody said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Cameron Mason, an eighth grader, said the camp helped him to stay ahead of other athletes and learn about football.

Since the junior high sea-son doesn’t start until the end of August, he said he will keep playing with friends to stay in shape.

Most of the middle school-

ers haven’t played football since last season.

The camp provides them a chance to “get back in the groove” and gear up for the fall season, McChristian said.

“They can really just get a real good taste of it and kind of just get back, focused on football,” McChristian said.

Between the two camps, over 100 athletes spent three days in the heat, work-ing to improve their skills and grow as football players.

At the end of each day, McChristian encouraged the athletes to bring their friends who weren’t there.

This will help the junior high and freshmen teams continue to improve before their seasons even start.

“The more they can get out here, the better their teams are gonna be here in a few weeks,” McChristian said.

Cross country teams aim for regional tournamentBY TORI CUMMINGS

[email protected]

The GHS cross country team has its sights set on another appearance in the regional tournament.

Sophomores Will Walton and Rafael Sanchez, junior Harrison Brown and senior Gracia Diego will lead the boys team this season. All four finished in the top 15 at district to help the Steers finish as the district 5-3A runner-up.

The defending district cham-pion girls team top returning runners include senior Angelica Rendon, juniors Claudia Padron and Cristal Sanchez, and sopho-more Skylar Forbus.

Although the team goal has been set, boys coach Marcus Morris knows that each indi-vidual has something they want to accomplish.

“I’d like for them to live up to whatever goal they’ve set for themselves,” Morris said.

The cross country program doesn’t hold offseason work-outs or camps like other sports. This means the athletes must take it upon themselves to get ready for the season, Morris said.

“They just know that they have to continue to stay in

shape,” he said. “They run together. They call each other.”

The coaches expect each athlete to have a good founda-tion of fitness and conditioning when the season starts. Then, they can focus on strength train-

ing during the season. To avoid the brutal, afternoon

Texas sun, the team typically runs at 6 a.m. wearing flash-lights and blinking lights to keep motorists aware of their pres-ence. The early mornings can

be tough and can cause some runners to leave, Morris said.

The first few weeks of practice won’t be quite so early, as the season will start with an 8:30 a.m. workout on August 4. But once the school year starts, the

early mornings will force each runner to continue rising with the sun.

“If you’re gonna run cross country and be good at it, you’re self-motivated,” Mor-ris said.

Volleyball team to have new look and feel during fallBY TORI CUMMINGS

[email protected]

New look, new attitude, new team.

This mantra sums up the direction volleyball coach Marci Faulk believes the team is headed for the 2014 season.

Of course, Faulk expects there to be speed bumps on the way to creating the new Lady Blues volleyball team.

She implemented a new defense last week. The girls are still prone to errors as they erase old defensive habits, but the change has begun to take hold.

Faulk has noticed the girls accept every change with eagerness and a willingness to improve.

“It’s gonna start clicking and I think people will be able to start seeing a dif-ference,” Faulk said. “I re-ally do.”

She believes the team just needs time to play and prac-tice together and work out the kinks that result from learning a new system.

New look. There are also multiple

girls stepping up as lead-ers. They do little things like grabbing jump ropes

to start a drill instead of standing around waiting.

Faulk hasn’t asked anyone to step up into this role. The girls have just done it on their own.

New attitude. The volleyball team gradu-

ated seven seniors last year, meaning there will be plenty of new faces. Yet, Faulk hasn’t promised anyone a spot on varsity.

Since nothing has been mandatory this summer and people go out of town, Faulk knows there are still a few athletes she hasn’t seen play as much as others. Still, she said the Lady Blues’ biggest strength is their depth.

“I think on any given day, anyone can be replaced,” Faulk said.

Faulk doesn’t even know how many she will have on varsity at this point. Those spots will go to the most skilled athletes who play with the most consistency.

The Lady Blues’ depth will push everyone to play their best, meaning those coveted varsity spots will be harder to get than before.

“I’ve had teams where there was a solid seven (players),” she said. “They knew they could stand on

their head and no one was taking their spot. And here, no one has that security.”

New team. Essentially, the Lady Blues

will experience a face lift, Faulk said. The changes will be painful and could leave some scars.

However, Faulk knows the girls have the potential to be better than last season.

“It’s not gonna be over-night. I know that,” she said. “As long as we’re making forward progress, that’s all I can ask.”

New look, new attitude, new team.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, leasing and financing of housing. The law also prohibits discriminatory advertising on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, mental or physical handicap or marital status.

The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict ac-cess to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference.

It is the intent and goal of The Graham Leader for each advertiser who wishes to place an advertisement in The Leader to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. Any advertisement which is perceived to contain language contrary to the act will be rejected or changed to remove the offending reference(s).

There may be situations where it is not clear whether particular language is objectionable. Such advertisements should be referred to the publisher for consideration and determination. Under certain circumstances, advertisers may claim that because of the nature of the housing being advertised, they are not subject to Fair Housing laws. Such claims are irrelevant for the purpose of considering advertisements for publication in The Graham Leader. Every housing advertisement published in The Graham Leader is subject to all provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
