Kick it off.... 2010 season gets underway Friday

If you love football, then Friday night is what you’ve been waiting for.
It’s kick-off time and all local teams will open the season this weekend.
There’s something special about that first high school football game of the new
season. It’s a new beginning, a new school year and the expectation for a champion-
ship team are always exciting.

~ Colorado City ~
The Wolves will host the Merkel
Badgers Friday night at Wolf Stadium.
The Badgers are coming off a 5-7 season
last year and hope to build their success
around the very talented runningback
Frankie Harris. Harris rushed for 1,871
yards last year as a sophomore and is
the District 3-AA pre-season offensive
MVP.
The Wolves are coming off two good
pre-season scrimmages with both the
offense and defense playing really well.
They have experience at the skilled po-
sitions, but lack experience up front in
both the offensive and defensive lines.
Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

~ Loraine ~
The Bulldogs travel to Highland
Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. kick-off to
open their 2010 season.
New head coach Richard Jackson
will lead a Bulldog team loaded with
8 seniors and 12 returning letter-
men. Five starters return on offense
and 4 return on defense, giving the
Bulldogs experience and depth this
season.
Highland is in District 6 (Divi-
sion I) and are replacing 5 all-state
players who were three-year starters.
The Hornets moved from Division
II to Division I during the recent
district UIL re-alignment.
Jackson comes to Loraine from
Oglesby in central Texas.

funding new software
The Mitchell County Com-
missioners discussed options for
financing a new software system
which would allow DPS troopers
to upload tickets more efficiently
into the county’s computer sys-
tem.
Net Data is a fully integrated
judicial management system, pro-
viding a seamless transition from
the time a ticket is written until
the time the fine is collected.
“They’ve been trying the sys-
tem out in Midland for the past
four to five months on a trial
basis,” Justice of the Peace James
Williams said, who approached
the court about using funds al-
ready being collected through
fines to cover the $2 per fine pro-
cessing charges.
“It gives the ability to put the
ticket on our computer at the
time it is written,” Williams said.
Currently tickets can take up to
two weeks to be entered manu-
ally into the system.
The subject was tabled for fur-
ther investigation.
See COUNTY page 5
Heavy rains early last Wednes-
day morning contributed to a trac-
tor trailer rollover on Interstate 20
near Westbrook.
A 2004 Peterbuilt driven
by Francisco Serrano out of
California was eastbound on
I-20 near mile marker 207 at
1 a.m. when he lost control of
his vehicle, according to inves-
tigating DPS Trooper Ricky
Molina.
“Due to weather conditions
he was driving at unsafe speeds,”
Molina said of the 53-year-old
Serrano.
Both the tractor and trailer end-
ed up in the center median lying
on the driver’s side and partially
blocking the eastbound lane, ac-
cording to Molina.
“Due to heavy rains we had to
wait to pull the tractor trailer into
an upright position the following
morning,” Molina said.
The DPS, assisted by the West-
brook Volunteer Fire Department,
the Mitchell County Sheriff’s Of-
fice and the Colorado City Police
Department deployed cones and
warning devices to alert traffic
until the vehicle could be moved
the next day.
Serrano’s truck was loaded with
air conditioner parts, such as duc-
twork.
Serrano was cited for driving
at an unsafe speed. He received
minor injuries in the wreck, but
refused treatment at the scene.
Members of the DPS dropped
Serrano off at a local hotel.

Trash dumping at local mission is unneighborly

Illegal dumping at the Com-
munity Mission creates repercus-
sions for the community at large
in terms of reduced time and
service.
“Every time the mission has
to haul the ‘class-four’ trash to
the dump, it is an expense which
draws from the funds to assist
the needy, thereby limiting our
ability to serve,” said Dot Smith,
mission chairman.
“Several weeks ago, a local busi-
ness dumped over 30 televisions,
radios, and VCRs on us which
we had to haul to the dump at
our expense,” Dan Smith said.
A report was filed with the
Colorado City Police Depart-
ment and turned over to the code
enforcement officer.
The items were put in the mis-
sion’s trash bin or dumped along
side it.
“The elecrical cords were cut
off and the televisions were writ-
ten on by owner as not working.
It was an intentional trash dump.
It was not put there for re-use,”
Smith said.
A week ago, the Smiths arrived
at the mission on a Sunday morn-
ing to find yet another instance
of illegal dumping.
Couches, chairs and bags of
household trash were dumped
near the old trash bin in front of
the mission.
“These pieces of furniture were
unmistakably trash, extremely
dirty, broken, torn and in un-
useable condition,” Smith said.
“They were not items service-
able for another household, and
not the type of goods suitable for
redistribution intended for the
mission.”
“If it’s reusuable to your family,
we can use it; if not, take it to the
dump,” Mrs. Smith said. “We
do not have the volunteer staff to
clean, repair or make unservice-
able/reusuable items left at our
door step; therefore those items
we deem unsuitable for someone
else, we have to dispose of at our
expense.”
Texas penal code identifies
littering and illegal dumping as
a misdemeanor up through a
state jail felony depending on the
amount of debris involved.
Five pounds or less is a Class C
misdemeanor carrying fines up
to $500.
Littering under 500 pounds is
a Class B misdemeanor carrying
a penalty of fines up to $2,000
and/or a jail term of up to 180
days.
Class A misdemeanor for ille-
gal dumping from 500 pounds
up to 1,000 pounds carries a pen-
alty of fines up to $4,000 and /or ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL DUMPING causes financial headaches for Community Mission directors

Purchasing System (TIPS/TAPS),
Colorado ISD was able to elimi-

process. Additional project fund-

hail damage claims. In the end,
Colorado ISD saved an estimated
$800,000.
“In this day of trying to control
costs, purchasing cooperatives,
such as TIPS/TAPS have become
very important to school districts.
The cost savings eliminated
through TIPS/TAPS can then be
used directly in the classroom or

Riding the social media wave
(ARA) - Who is using social media?
What is it exactly? When and where do
people tweet, post and blog? Why do
people engage in social media?
Social media is everywhere. It encom-
passes blogs, social networks (such as
Twitter, Facebook and MySpace), profes-
sional networking avenues such as Linke-
dIn, and creative sites like Flickr, a pho-
tography-sharing website. People such
as the teenager next door, grandma and
celebrities are using social media outlets.

in this Psalm than we can discuss in a short article, as is the case with most of the Psalms. I encour-
age you to read this Psalm and notice the great concept of trusting in the Lord, the importance of
faithfulness, the blessedness of forgiveness, and the rejoicing in song that accompanies the children
of God.
Even so, in this particular article, I want us to focus our attention on the wonderful works
of God. The Psalmist declares that God’s thoughts are toward us. He has blessed us richly. He has

ORDINANCE 2010 – 17
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLORADO
CITY, TEXAS AMENDING ORDINANCE 86-07 AND THE CITY CODE BOOK
CHAPTER 2 ANIMAL CONTROL; ARTICLE 2.02 DOG AND CATS; SECTION
2.02.072 (e) ENFORCEMENT; REPEALING ALL PRIOR ORDINANCES OR
ORDINANCE PROVISIONS IN CONFLICT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
ORDINANCE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE
RATES AND FEES ESTABLISHED UNDER THIS ORDINANCE.
PENALTY SECTION:
Sec. 2.02.072 Enforcement
(a) For the purpose of enforcing this chapter, any animal control officer or
police officer is hereby authorized to issue to any owner, or other person,
who violates any provision of this chapter a citation which shall be dated
and signed by the issuing officer. The citation shall set forth the general
nature of the violation charged and shall direct the violator to appear in the
municipal court of the city on or before a certain day. The violator shall sign
the summons to indicate his agreement to appear. In the event a violator
refuses to sign the agreement to appear, a police officer may be called to the
scene and, upon the continued refusal of such person to sign, may arrest such
person. In those instances wherein the violator is not present, the citation may be
issued, a complaint filed, and procedure followed as permitted by law.
(b) An animal control officer shall, upon observing a dog at large, pursue said dog and
capture same if possible. If said dog, during pursuit, goes upon private property,
said officer shall continue pursuit onto said private property. Should any dog,
after pursuit, be captured on private property, the officer shall make inquiry of
anyone present on said property as to ownership. In the event ownership of the
dog is determined, said officer shall issue a citation to the owner and deliver the
dog to said person upon said person’s exhibiting acceptable identification. In the
event a dog at large is captured and the owner is not located, or ownership is not
determined, it shall be impounded.
(f) If the dog or cat is four (4) months old or older and not wearing a collar with valid
rabies and license tags attached, the owner must present a certificate showing that
the dog or cat has been vaccinated and licensed within the immediate preceding
twelve (12) calendar months. If such a certificate of vaccination and/or the
license cannot be produced, and the animal is three (3) months old or older, a
warning notice shall be issued to the owner and the animal may be released to
its owner on the condition that the owner shall immediately have the animal
vaccinated against rabies and purchase a city license, In that event, the animal
shall be vaccinated and/or licensed, as herein provided and acceptable proof
thereof exhibited to the director of animal control or his agent within seventy-
two (72) hour after the animal’s release. If acceptable proof of vaccination and/or
licensing is not presented within the seventy-two (72) hours, the director shall
cause a complaint to be filed against such owner in the municipal court of the
city. Animals which are not at least three (3) months of age may be released
without immediate vaccination and licensing being required. However, the
department of animal control may give written notice to the person claiming
said animal that proof of vaccination and licensing must be presented, as
required herein, on or before a certain date. The date shall be a date estimated
as falling between the third and fourth monthly anniversary of the animal’s
birth. In the event such written notice is given and the proof of vaccination
and licensing is not provided on or before the date stipulated, the director of the
department of animal control shall cause a complaint or complaints to be filed.
(g) Any animal not reclaimed by its owner in compliance with the provisions of
subsection (f) above, within the five (5) days excluding the day of impoundment,
shall become the property of the city and shall be either placed for adoption or
humanely put to death by an animal control officer.
(h) An impounded animal which is not claimed and redeemed by its owner within the
five-day period may, if in good health and not having been observed to be vicious,
be adopted by any person who pays an adoption fee of five dollars, ($5.00) and
the cost of impoundment plus cost of vaccination, provided that the requirements
of subsection (f) above must be met by such person, and provided that it shall be
unlawful for any person to adopt or attempt to adopt any impounded animal in an
effort to avoid or circumvent the penalties applicable to owners-violators.

(c) Unless reclaimed as herein provided, all impounded dogs or

cats shall be kept for not less than five (5) days, the first day of
which shall be the day next following the day of impoundment.
(d) If the owner of an impounded dog or cat can be readily identified,
the animal control officer or his agent shall, within twenty-four
(24) hours after impoundment, notify the dog’s or cat’s owner by
telephone, if possible, or by mail if no telephone number is available.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This Ordinance shall become effective no less than ten days following passage of the
ordinance and after publication by the City Secretary of the descriptive caption and the
penalty section of this ordinance in a local newspaper twice within a ten-day period in
accordance with Section 29 of the City Charter.

(e) It is the responsibility of the pet owner to make sure their dog or cat is secured.
The City Code requires that an animal be secured at all times. Allowing an _________________________
animal to run at large may result in penalties assessed by the Municipal Court of Donna Madrid, City Secretary
Colorado City. In the event a dog or cat is found roaming and is picked up by an
officer, the animal will be taken to the shelter or impoundment. The owner may
reclaim his dog or cat from the shelter upon payment of a reclamation fee. The

By Sharon Green
Loraine Correspondent
Saturday evening, August 28th
beginning at 6 p.m. there will be
an ice cream social fundraiser held
down at the Senior Center in Lo-
raine.
Come out and enjoy the home-
made ice cream and live music to
help support the Senior Center!
Prices are $5.00 for Adults and
$3.00 for children 10 years and un-
der. You may contact Jennifer Fales
for information at 325-737-2711.
***
The Center’s guests for the week
included Betty Safford’s daugh-
ter Janet and husband, Ray Cline.
Mamie Lou New and Elizabeth
Wilson came down to visit from
Snyder, and Charline Hays and Lil-
lie Funderburg brought the musical
entertainment last Friday.
***
Lillie Funderburg also brought
the special music at the First Meth-
odist Church in Loraine on Sunday.
And don’t forget that Fifth Sunday
Sing-along on August 29th will be
held at the Loraine First Baptist
Church at 3:00pm. All churches,
all people are welcome and encour-
aged to come.
***
It’s Monday morning, the 23rd of
August and all is in order. There
may have been total chaos and ten-
sion running rampant in your home
right up to almost 8 a.m., but there
is a sense of peaceful structure now.
No matter our age, position in life
or the temperature outside, the be-
ginning of school makes it feel more
like fall.
I am sympathetic to the mom-
mies that took their little ones to
school for the first time. To those
that watched their middle school
child exit the car without so much
as a look back, keeping their cool
in front of their peers, as well as the
parents who will watch their college
bound student drive away this fall,
never to return the same again.
There is no description for the
‘empty nest’ we are left to recreate
into that different, yet happy home
they will all expect to come home
to.
And we will. Once our cry is
over, despite the emotional strain,
we will begin to formulate plans
that make our ‘student’ feel drawn
to the comforts of home again. For
every last nerve we thought they got
on through the summer, their of-

fenses quickly diminish in our mind
as all is forgiven and our devotion
to them rekindles into purpose for
continued family unity.
***
The Warren-Graham Reunion
was held in Pontotoc, Mississippi,
this year.
Those attending were: Roland
Graham of Loraine; Billy and Ruth
Kelly of Loraine; Annette Cooper
of Savoy; Steve and Debbie Graham
of Colorado City; Roger and Gayla
Graham, Jordan Graham, Richard
and Patsy Long of Sweetwater.
Roland Graham, Ricahrd and
Patsy Long visited the Lone Ranger
Museum and the Dr. Pepper Mu-
seum at Waco. They also visited the
LBJ State Park in Luckenbach.
***
Rick Lucas said that first days
back in school are often pretty
hectic, but LISD’s first day actu-
ally went more smoothly than
normal. Rick said even the typical
pre-schooler’s accidental lunch tray
dropping was avoided today.
Good Job Guys! We will pray
for these type days to follow you
throughout the school year ahead.

Tome and I made another razzoo
to Austin last Sunday, returning
our precious cargo to Texas School
for the Deaf for the fall semester.
The house looks like a tornado
hit it from digging out bed linens
and school supplies that have been
packed away all summer.
