The U.S. Air Force an-nounced last week that it plans to shut down its space surveillance system, which tracks satellites and other objects orbiting Earth, be-fore Tuesday, Oct. 1. Among the sites listed as part of the “Space Fence” system is the “Lake Kickapoo” transmit-ter located several miles north of Olney on FM 2178.
Other transmitter sites are located at Gila River, Ariz., and Jordan Lake, Ala. Re-ceiver stations are found in
San Diego, Calif.; Elephant Butte, N.M.; Red River, Ark.; Silver Lake, Miss.; Hawkinsville, Ga.; and Tattnall, Ga.
The closures come thanks to budget constraints that have resulted as a part of federal budget cuts, and are expected to save the Air Force Space Command an estimated $14 million beginning next year. The space surveillance system was installed in 1961 and originally operated by the
U.S. Navy under the Na-val Space Surveillance (NAVSPASUR) name, but came under control of the U.S. Air Force in 2004. The Lake Kickapoo transmitter has been the most power-ful continuous wave station in the world, and is located on 180 acres of govern-ment-owned land in Archer County. The “fence” of en-ergy it generates extends across the southern United
The 2013-2014 school year kicks off Monday, Aug. 26, for Olney ISD. Students at all campuses will start the day at 8 a.m.
Olney High School will observe a few schedule changes this year, thanks to extended school hours and a closed campus lunch. The student lunch period is 12:35-1:10 p.m., and the nal bell will ring at 3:40 p.m.
At Olney Junior High students will be released at 3:40 p.m., and Olney El-ementary School students will end their day at 3:35 p.m.
Bus routes will run in
both the morning and af-ternoon, with new stops within the Olney city lim-its for students who do not have a means of transpor-tation.
The buses should ar-rive at the designated bus stops shortly after 7 a.m., but times could vary at rst. The designated bus
stops are as follows: West Elm at Western, N. Ave O at West Howard, N. Ave L at West Howard, N. Ave F at Bloodworth, Hwy. 79 at East Pecan, Springcreek at S. Ave. C, Country Club Road just south of Hwy 79, Mockingbird at Knox and Mockingbird at Hwy 79.

Olney ISD and all three of its individual campuses have been given the top ranking available this year from the Texas Education Agency. Olney Elementary, Olney Junior High and Ol-ney High School each re-ceived the “Met Standard” ranking after a review of student performance data.
The accountability sys-tem has changed thanks to
new STAAR requirements, and now only includes the rankings of “Met Stan-dard” and “Improvement Required.” According to Elaine Reno, the district’s curriculum director, Olney ISD and its students had to meet requirements in Stu-dent Achievement, Student Progress, Closing Perfor-mance Gaps and Post-Sec-ondary Readiness.
“A student has to meet the standard on each index,” Reno said. “We’re well
above on all of those.”The district had a 79 per-
cent Student Achievement rating, and was required to meet only 50 percent. OISD was found to have a 36 per-cent Student Progress rat-ing, which was higher than the 21 percent target, as well as a 70 percent Closing Performance Gaps rating that was 15 points above the target of 55 percent. The district’s 88 percent Post-Secondary Readiness rating was also much higher than
the 75 percent target set by the state.
For each individual cam-pus, state-required targets remained the same for Stu-dent Achievement, Clos-ing Performance Gaps and Post-Secondary Readiness. Each campus had different target numbers for Student Progress.
Results for Olney High School were 77 percent in Student Achievement, 68 percent in Closing Perfor-mance Gaps, 88 percent in
Post-Secondary Readiness and 22 percent (target 17) in Student Progress.
Olney Junior High had an 81 percent rate on Student Achievement, 42 percent (target 29) in Student Prog-ress and 73 percent in Clos-ing Performance Gaps. Stu-dents also earned academic distinctions on the math exam, and a district desig-nation in the top 25 percent of student progress.
Two men have been charged in a case where they were caught taking water from a local re hydrant to use to ll a local pool. Adrian Martin of Graham and Chris McComack of Olney both face a Class A misdemeanor charge, while Martin also faces a felony charge.
On Saturday, Aug. 3, resi-dents reported seeing two re trucks from Salt Creek
Station 5 of the Young County Rural Volunteer Fire Department lling up at a re hydrant in Olney. Those trucks, according to Olney Police Department, were driven by Martin and McComack. The water was used to ll up a swimming pool at McComack’s home.
Once authorities were alerted, Station 5 Fire Chief Wayne Peters was contacted
and con rmed the trucks were being used without permission. He then called Martin, who was an active member of the Salt Creek department, and demanded the trucks be returned.
McComack was allowed to keep the water, accord-ing to OPD Chief Barry Roberts, because the depart-ment lacked the equipment to remove it from the pool.
Martin was banned from the Salt Creek re department for life.
Both men reportedly re-ceived citations for taking the water since Olney is in its fourth drought phase, which prohibits outdoor water use, but the investiga-tion continued.
At 5:16 p.m. Monday, Aug. 19, McComack was arrested and charged with criminal
mischief for interrupting the city’s utilities by tapping into the re hydrant, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a ne or jail sentence, Rob-erts said.
Martin faces the same mis-demeanor charge, as well as abuse of of cial capacity for his actions in taking and using the re trucks with-out permission. The second charge is a state jail felony.

‘Space Fence’ station to close County discusses storage solutionsBY CHERRY RUSHIN
MEDIANEWS SERVICE
Although it was decided by county commissioners that funds were not avail-able to salvage the old law enforcement building, they discussed replacing it Mon-day.
Precinct 4 Commissioner Jimmy Wiley said the com-missioners need to formu-
late a plan moving forward with demolishing the old jail and nding an alterna-tive to the county’s storage needs.
“As we go forward, we need a game plan of what we’re going to do and how we’re going to do it,” Wiley said. “We need to gure out a size and con guration

BRIEF VISIT – Drew Springer, District 68 state representative, stopped in Olney to hold one of a series of town hall meetings on Tuesday, Aug. 20. Springer met with approxi-mately 10 local residents who listened to a presentation regarding the most recent legis-lative session and the three ensuing special sessions before asking questions regarding many of the Texas legislature’s actions. Of particular interest was the representative’s stance on the use of $2 billion from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to help communities with water and drought-related projects. That measure will be on the ballot in November.

and all that for a facility.”Precinct 1 Commissioner
Mike Sipes said there is currently a bid for demoli-tion of the structure, but its contents must be stored. Sipes asked his fellow com-missioners to research the problem and bring possible solutions to the court.
Wiley mentioned shipping containers set off to the side.
Wiley also said he had a bid for $34,700 for the de-molition that he acquired a year ago that was still cur-rent at Monday’s meeting. He added that many of the surrounding counties are building an archival facility and additional of ce space.
“Not every county has a 12,000- square-foot build-ing a half a block from (the courthouse),” County Judge John Bullock said.
Bullock added that Mon-tague County recently con-structed a 24,000-square-foot building at a cost of
CountyContinued from Page 1 $2.5 million as a courthouse
annex.“This is a long range plan.
We have to nd out what we need. Then, there’s go-ing to be architects, engi-neers — money, time, cost,” Bullock said.
Sipes said the old law en-forcement center should have been dealt with when it was vacated, but now, he’s not sure if it’s the right building for the county’s needs. Bullock pointed out his vote against funding renovation speaks other-wise.
“It was to be done in stag-es. You can’t get any cheap-er than that,” said Precinct 3 Commissioner Stacey Rog-ers.
Wiley said the replace-ment building he is looking into is not as substantial in size but would be designed for expansion at an initial cost of $450,000 to $500,000 turnkey.
Commissioners voted ear-lier this month in a 3-2 vote
not to fund repairing the building at $160,000.
They also did not approve Rogers’ suggestion of sim-ply re-roo ng the building to curb its falling into fur-ther disrepair at a cost of $90,000.
Prior to the jail discussion, Monday morning the com-missioners court hosted the second of two public hear-ings concerning the pro-posed tax rate.
The rate has been set at an increase, and two citizens addressed the court about their concerns.
James Shif ett said he is concerned about the high cost of county employees’ insurance that is completely covered by taxpayer money.
“Can’t the employees pay part of it or a higher deduct-ible?” Shif ett asked.
Sipes said for this budget season, the county is stuck with a $500 deductible for medical coverage because that is what County Au-ditor Cheryl Roberts out-
lined in the request for bids.
“The program the county is under currently has been in place a long while,” Sipes said. “Five hundred dol-lars was probably a bigger burden when it was put in place.”
Sipes said he is in favor of looking at other insurance options, but that won’t be possible this year.
Sidney Chestnut said she’s being taxed out of her home. Though she’s lived there many years, she’s put it on the market because she can’t afford the taxes on it.
“Have you seen the num-ber of houses for sale? There’s a beaucoup of hous-es for sale because taxes have gone up,” Chestnut said.
Sipes said that many of the increases to the county bud-get are a result of unfunded state mandates speci cally in the judicial sectors of the county — jail, courts and ju-venile probation.

North Texas TalesBy Gay Schlittler Storms
Police BeatBy OPD Chief Barry Roberts, MPO
We’ve always realized Laney was going to grow up fast, but we never realized how fast until this past week. It’s like she has fast forwarded all the way into and through the “Terrible Twos” and is now entering her teens.
It all started recently at night, when she has nally stopped letting me rock her to sleep, ever, at all. She’s just too big for that, and prefers to lie down in her bed with her stuffed giraffe on her head and go to sleep by herself.
Then this past Friday she spent a day here at work with me. During our weekly meet-ing, she proceeded to empty out a recycling container full of newspapers, then quite
surprisingly picked them up when I asked her to do it. She also tried to recycle her sip-py cup, which means I lost it and it took me about 48 hours to zero in on its location, but that’s another story.
Picking up after herself? That’s show-ing a little responsibility! “Go, Laney!” I thought...then started wondering if I could get her to do the same at home.
Then on Saturday, my husband, Laney and I were eating dinner at the table. Laney nished early and was playing while we
continued eating. On one of her return trips between the
living room and kitchen, she passed by the table to mooch a bite or two. She then
picked up one of the old purses I’d given her to play with, slung it over her shoul-der, said “Bye!” and walked to the front door.
Really, little girl? Leaving home so soon!? I’m surprised she didn’t ask for the debit card and my keys on her way, but maybe she’s saving that for when she turns 2.
But it didn’t really hit home until Sunday evening, at dinner once again. We sat there eating, and I just stopped to watch her for a moment. There she was, drinking out of a straw, dipping her chicken into ketchup before eating it and feeding herself with
a spoon (as long as I loaded it for her, of course). It dawned on me at that very mo-ment that our little baby was long gone, and in her place was a tiny adult.
Then she threw her spoon at the dog and the spell was broken, right before my heart started to break just a little bit.
What’s next? Putting herself to bed? Tuck-ing ME in at night? The possibilities are endless, and bittersweet all at the same time.
My baby is growing up and I’m sad, but also excited to see the person she will one day become.

City of the dead?Dear Editor,
I recently visited my mother. As I drove down Main Street the bright red “Welcome to Olney” banners greeted me, and I felt genuinely welcomed. The metal benches on the sidewalks were inviting and the ga-zebo was charming. Olney looked like the “best of small town America.” However, this feeling of community pride was quick-ly replaced with community shame when I drove to the cemetery to visit my father’s grave.
His grave looks lovely. We put owers out often and privately pay for the upkeep. What shook my spirit of civic pride was the appalling neglect of the cemetery as a whole. The rows (those that can be easily seen from the road) looked ne. The fur-ther back I drove into the cemetery, the more embarrassed and saddened I became. Weeds grew in the lanes as tall as four feet. The graves were covered with weeds up to three feet tall, and many tombstones were only partially visible or not visible at all.
It is a disgrace to allow the nal resting place for so many souls who lived in and loved Olney to take on the appearance of forgotten “City of the Dead,” a term used
by poet Kahlil describing our earthly inter-ment. I ask the City Council to commit to maintaining the cemeteries in Olney with the purpose of dignity and respect for those who have gone on before us. I know our nal home does not lie here. The beauty
of God’s place cannot be imagined, but for those of us who nd comfort in visiting the graves of our loved ones, for the sake of God, tend to this earthly garden.
Seeking respect,Dr. Debra St. John
A cemetery solutionDear Editor,
I had the honor of cooking a Thanksgiv-ing turkey last November. I live alone, but was eager to cook that 12-pound bird. Why on earth would I cook a 12-pounder with no family coming by to help me eat it? It was time for the annual Maypearl Cem-etery Turkey Dinner! I was one of several people asked to cook, debone and serve a turkey for that half-day fundraiser. It’s al-ways held the rst Saturday in November.
The cemetery in my small town of May-pearl always looks great and the people in our small community of just fewer than 1,000 have always supported the turkey
dinner. The cemetery association pays for the turkeys, but asks for volunteers to pre-pare and serve them. The side dishes and desserts are also provided by volunteers. Now it’s a lot of work – it’s a very labor-intensive four to six hours for those actu-ally doing the food service and clean-up of the community building.
The reward is that it’s a time-honored tradition and it’s a great way to sit down and have a leisurely lunch with friends and neighbors. There is take-out available too. It’s up to about $7 a plate these days, but most people will round that up to $10 or $20 a plate because they know it goes to such a good cause.
I challenge the people of Olney to come up with a similar “easy” fundraiser that can become a time-honored tradition there to provide the needed funds for the upkeep of the cemeteries. As a newly-elected may-or, I also have to look at the possibility of raising rates. Is it feasible to consider an in-crease in the cost of a plot at the cemetery? Even cities and cemeteries need to keep up with the changing economy.
I’ll send my $20 today…and hopefully, a solution can be found soon for the funding problems associated with the care of the cemeteries in Olney. How many turkeys
will $20 buy?Adele Mooney
Rate increase is not the answerDear Editor,
I agree that the cemeteries look bad. Please don’t add more money on my water bill. I already pay more than I can afford for water I can’t use. Just because you bought a lot at the cemetery does not mean that “someone” has to take care of it. Pick up a weed-eater and lawn mower and go clean it! If you are not able to, pay someone to do it. That’s what I do. If all the complain-ers would donate to the Cemetery Board, they might have some money to take care of things.
Boots Davis
A genius solutionDear Editor
In response to Helen Harris’s letter, she is a genius. Way to go girl. One dollar added to each water bill every month for the Ol-ney Cemetery upkeep is an excellent idea. I’m sure everyone has loved ones out there, and we do want it to look nice.

I heard a great illustration a few weeks ago that describes humanity and our so-ciety as a whole. I would like to share it with you. The speaker said humanity can be seen in three different creatures. Society (humanity) is mainly made up of sheep. The sheep just want to be left alone to graze in the pastures of life and just enjoy being with each other.
Then we have those who are the wolves. They are always on the hunt to prey on the sheep. They will steal and kill them.
Then we have the sheep dog. He is neces-sary to have around, but the sheep really do not like him. You see, the sheep just want to be sheep and hopefully if they forget about the wolves then maybe they will not show
up. The sheep dog is the constant reminder that wolves do exist and it makes the sheep uncomfortable.
The sheep live to enjoy life. The wolf lives to prey on the sheep. The sheep dog lives to conquer the wolves and keep the sheep safe.
Here is the picture. Sheep are the every day good people that live life daily. Wolves are the criminals that choose to take advantage of you. Sheep dogs are the law enforcement that stand ever ready to protect you from the wolves. Your Olney Police Department wants you to know that we stand watching and always on guard to protect you from the wolves that want to prey on you.
We are honored to serve you that way.
Sheep, wolves and shepherdsThe Texas 4-H Museum is located in Jacks-
boro, the birthplace of 4-H in Texas.In 1908, T.M. (Tom) Marks, a part-time
county agricultural agent in Jack County, organized the rst boys’ “corn club” in Jack County. This was six years before the orga-nization of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
Marks, the editor of The Jacksboro News, thought hosting a corn show would be a way for farmers to exchange ideas, learn new ideas and grow better corn crops. He publicized the corn show in his newspaper, inviting Jack County farmers to bring in bushels of their corn.
The show was a complete failure — only three farmers showed up. Research at the time indicated that adults in the farming community didn’t put much stock in the newfangled ideas coming from agricultur-al colleges. Marks realized he was spinning his wheels trying to teach “old dogs new tricks” and announced he’d start with the “pups.”
The following year he invited Jack Coun-ty boys to participate in the corn show. The rst corn show in 1908 proved his belief
that the future of farming was in the hands of young people. At the show, Welzie Der-rick from Senate won rst place with a corn variety called Yellow Dent, which contin-ues to be the corn grown most in the U.S. Derrick’s acre of corn produced 51 bush-els. Other boys grew a corn variety called White No. 42. The winner’s crop yielded 41 bushels per acre. Even the third place winners’ corn yields were nothing to scoff at because each variety grown yielded 25 bushels per acre.
About the same time as the show, Marks
organized community clubs and called them corn clubs (later known as 4-H clubs). In 1910, Jack County boys were allowed an acre of cotton, and in the following year, the boys grew more cotton than corn. Youth in other Texas counties also formed club, in-cluding “pig clubs” and “beef calf clubs” in Coleman County. Girls entered the organi-zation in 1912 with the rst “tomato clubs” springing up in Milam County.
But the idea of agricultural clubs didn’t spread until Marks began traveling across Texas by buggy. He served as an unof cial ag ambassador, encouraging the general public to new types of corn plus other new types of farm crops. His efforts nally paid off. The state and federal governments took up the plan and enlarged the rural educa-tional programs for boys and girls beyond what he dreamed of accomplishing. Marks, who spent most of childhood and teen years in Jack County, would have other jobs as a school teacher, superintendent, public entertainer and railroad construc-tion engineer.
Once the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service was organized in 1914, there was a rapid expansion of educational programs directed to rural youth. Within a span of 91 years, 4-H enrollment in Texas grew from the original 25 corn club members in Jack County to more than one million youth in 2000. In fact, the Texas 4-H program has a lot to brag about. It’s the largest youth de-velopment program in Texas, and the larg-est 4-H Program in the world. And not only that, Texas boasts the largest 4-H member-ship enrollment, total 4-H participation, and the largest 4-H volunteer base in the United States.

Weekend warriors—people who pursue sports but only irregularly and without proper conditioning—deserve credit for every minute of exercise they get.
However, in doing so, they run an increased risk of spraining an ankle, pulling a hamstring, straining the back or a shoulder, or sustaining an overuse injury, such as plantar fasciitis or shin splints.
The reality is, many people with demanding jobs and busy lifestyles only have large blocks of time to exercise on the weekends, making the ‘weekend warrior syndrome’ a hard one to avoid. The problem is that people who play 18 holes of golf or three sets of tennis on a Saturday without doing any exercise throughout the week run a higher risk for joint and muscle injuries than folks who squeeze in two or three midweek workouts as well.
However, with a little foresight and planning, it’s possible to reduce your risk for pain and improve your overall fi tness without giving up your Saturday softball game or long Sunday bike ride.
These strategies can help you survive an active weekend:
• Always warm up before and cool down after working out or playing sports. Probably the most important thing you can do to prevent short- and long-term injury is to gradually ease in and ease out of your main exercise activity.
A basic warm-up should include at least fi ve minutes of walking or light jogging followed by some sport-specifi c stretches to loosen the muscles you’ll be using for your sport.
For example, if you’re a golfer, after you’ve warmed up with a short walk, take a club and do some light swings and spinal rotations.
Likewise, your cooldown should help you gradually shift your heart rate back to normal and include some stretches to help prevent muscle soreness the next day.
As we age, the cool down becomes more and more essential. Research shows heart attacks are more likely to occur after, rather than during, strenuous exercise, mostly because people have not slowed their heart rates gradually.
• Cross train by doing various types of exercise during the week. By not working the same muscle groups continuously, you can improve your all-around fi tness and prevent overuse injuries. For example, if you like to take long cross-country runs on the weekend, try swimming laps on Tuesday and taking a Pilates class on Thursday.
The fact is that most weekend warriors can avoid many of their injuries, aches, and pains by committing to a brief 15- to 20-minute stretch and strengthening session every other day. Doing so will create a muscle memory that will boost performance and have a protective eff ect.
Fitness Tips for Weekend Warriors
If you’re a weekend warrior, just 20 minutes of stretching and weight-bearing exercises every other day is all you need to help avoid injuries.

2013 Property Tax Rates inCITY OF OLNEY
73894
This notice concerns 2013 property tax rates for CITY OF OLNEY. It presents information about
three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes
last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare
properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can
set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing
the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as
required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes $ 572,098.08 Last year’s debt taxes $ 0.00 Last year’s total taxes $ 572,098.08 Last year’s tax base $ 73,906,460.00 Last year’s total tax rate 0.774084/$100This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes $ 572,098.08 (after subtracting taxes on lost property) ÷ This year’s adjusted tax base $ 83,857,470.00 (after subtracting value of new property) = This year’s effective tax rate 0.682226/$100 (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)
This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment nancing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent health care expenditures) $ 572,098.08
÷ This year’s adjusted tax base $ 83,857,470.00 = This year’s effective rate 0.682226/$100 x 1.08 = this year’s maximum operating rate 0.736804/$100 + This year’s debt rate 0.000000/$100 = This year’s total rollback rate 0.736804/$100
In the rst year a city collects the additional sales tax to reduce property taxes, it must insert the following lines unless its rst adjustment was made last year: - Sales tax adjustment rate 0/$100= Effective tax rate 0/$100
Statement of Increase/DecreaseIf CITY OF OLNEY adopts a 2013 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of .682226 per $100 of value, taxes would decrease compared to 2012 taxes by $1,852.06.

Cross Timbers Stitchers Guild met Monday, Aug. 12, in Olney at the home of Rosalee Myers.
Members who attended the meeting were Mary Butler, Linda Epperson, Anne Lundy, Cynthia Lundy, Myers, Gena Phil-lips, Marsha Richardson, Jeanie Spivey and Sandra Woolley.
While Myers presided over the meeting, Butler read the minutes and gave the nancial report. She also reported on the prog-ress of the nap blanket project.
The nap blankets will be delivered the last day of
August to Olney Child De-velopment Center.
Spivey gave an update on the Wounded Warrior Project.
The group voted to go on the North Texas Shop Hop Thursday, Sept. 5.
Those who shared “Show and Tell” were Butler, Ep-person, Anne Lundy, Cyn-thia Lundy, Myers, Phil-lips and Woolley. Spivey read a humorous article on quilting written through a husband’s viewpoint.
The next regularly sched-uled meeting will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Oct. 14, at the Graham Senior Citi-zens Center.
Stitchers Guild gathers at Myers home in Olney
Citing four con rmed measles cases in the last month and nine cases for the year, the Texas Depart-ment of State Health Ser-vices has issued a health alert and is urging immu-nization against this high-ly contagious illness.
State health of cials are asking health care provid-ers to be on alert for poten-tial exposures and patients with measles symptoms, particularly in the North Texas area.
The four most recently con rmed cases are from Tarrant County. Other Tex-as counties with cases this year include Dallas (two), Denton (two) and Harris (one).
There were no measles cases reported in 2012 and six cases in 2011.
Measles is a highly con-tagious respiratory illness spread by contact with an infected person through coughing and sneezing. Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90
percent of the people close to that person who are not immune or vaccinated will also become infected with the measles virus.
State health of cials urge immunization to protect against and prevent the spread of measles. People should check their immu-nization status with their health care provider.
The incubation period of measles is about two weeks from exposure to onset of rash. People are contagious from four days before onset of rash to four days after the appearance of rash.
The rash usually begins on the face and spreads to the trunk. Other symp-toms include fever (higher than 101 degrees), cough, runny nose and sore eyes.
Doctors should consider measles in their diagnosis if they have a patient with a rash and fever.
If measles is suspected, they should report the pa-tient to their local health
department as soon as possible.
People who have mea-sles or are suspected of having measles should seek medical attention and otherwise stay home until four days after the rash ap-peared.
Vaccination even shortly before or after exposure may prevent the disease or lessen the symptoms in people who are infected with measles.
Immune globulin given up to six days after expo-sure may prevent disease among susceptible or un-vaccinated people at high risk for complications, such as pregnant women, people with weak immune systems and children too young to be vaccinated.

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 access 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.

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.

First Baptist Church of Olney has welcomed C.J. Frazier as its new youth minister, and the young family man is looking for-ward to helping young church members grow in Christ.
“We’re looking to work on discipleship,” Frazier said of his plans. “Just leading the lost to Christ and making them stronger in their faith.”

He went on to attend Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, from which he graduated with a bachelor of arts in speech communi-cations in May.

“I knew a couple of peo-ple from the church,” he said, noting he had gone on a mission trip in 2008 with FBC member Alvin Cardenas.
In January, Cardenas called Frazier to tell him about an opening for a youth minister at the local Baptist church, and Frazier said he jumped on the op-portunity to serve.
“I’ve always felt a call on my heart that the Lord was calling me to something other than an 8 a.m.-5 p.m. job,” he said. “I felt the call to minister at age 15, and God has always opened the doors for it.”
Frazier said he and his family are adjusting well to Olney, even though moving in from a much

“I love it,” he said. “In Throckmorton we have one real red light and a convenience store. All the fast food options spoil us. It already seems like home to us.”
