CCCCSD SCHOOL BOARD

BY MELISSA PERNERTHE OZONA STOCKMAN

OHS Baseball Field will have a new look this spring.

At the Oct. 15 CCCCSD School Board meeting, Super-intendent Raul Chavarria pre-sented the plans for changes to the field.

The changes include new bleachers that will have a mid-dle section with individual seats and regular benches on the outside sitting on a con-crete pad, new dugouts, fenc-ing, backstop, press box and rerun the electrical wiring.

On hold is a new awning for the seating area.

Cost for the project is esti-mated at $200,000, which will be split with the county com-missioners. Chavarria spoke to the commissioners at their Oct. 13 meeting and the com-missioners approved splitting the cost.

Ozona’s Daniel Lom-braña said his team was given one goal when the Lions took the field for a District 3-2A Divi-sion I game Friday night against Christoval — force a turnover.

It didn’t take long for the Lions to achieve that objective.

The 5-foot-8 line-backer stripped the ball out of Hayden Har-graves’ hands — follow-ing a quick screen pass — before it bounced into the waiting arms of an Ozona teammate at the Christoval 34-yard line before the game clock reached the 11-minute mark in the first quarter.

Lombraña, who also chipped in 26 yards and one touchdown, sparked the Lions to a 42-22 vic-tory in the Standard-Times Game of the Week at Lion Stadium.

With the victory, Ozona improved to 5-2

AUSTIN — With early voting in Texas only days away, the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 18 let stand a U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals order, there-by allowing Texas’ 2011 voter identification law to remain in force for the time being.

Civil rights plaintiffs in Veasey et al. v. Perry et al. sought to have portions of the law declared unenforceable on constitutional grounds.

In a Corpus Christi fed-eral courtroom, U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos struck down the law and ordered the state to return to election law practices in place before the Legislature passed the law in 2011.

The law, Ramos wrote, intentionally discriminates against Hispanics and blacks in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and is tantamount to a “poll tax” because of the cost to acquire any of the various acceptable forms of photo identifica-tion that a voter is required

to present at the polls, in addition to a voter registra-tion certificate, in order to cast an election ballot. Ramos ordered the state to submit any proposed amendments to the election law to her. The State of Texas appealed and the Fifth Circuit granted the state’s petition to let the law stand. The plaintiffs then turned to the Supreme Court for redress, and were rebuffed.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a dissenting opinion in support of the plaintiffs’ assertion of unconstitutional effects of the Texas law. Gins-burg was joined in her dissent by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Majority support of the Texas law, however, came from the other six: Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Ste-phen Breyer, Anthony Kenne-

dy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. But the six produced no written opinion in support of the State of Texas.

ABORTION PROVISIONS ON HOLD

In a 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 14 put a hold on two requirements of Texas’ 2013 abortion law that reportedly have resulted in the closure of 34 out of the 41 abortion-providing facili-ties in the state:

1. That abortion facilities meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers; and

2. Doctors who perform abortions at clinics in El Paso and McAllen need not have active admitting privileges at a hospital not further than 30 miles from the location at which the abortion is per-formed or induced.

In taking this action, the high court temporarily sus-pends a two-week-old rul-ing by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Ap-peals that allowed those portions to stand.

Meanwhile, the constitutional-ity of the entire 2013 Texas abortion law is under review in the Fifth Circuit.

STATE,PAGE 10

High court allows voter ID law for current electionSTATE CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS By Ed Sterling | Texas Press Association

Realizing they have an untapped resource for making money, many ranch families have extended their operations to include income streams besides livestock. Some have resorted to wrangling dudes, guiding hunters or renting out their ranches for weddings. After all, there is a certain sym-metry, whether you're trying to find a buck or you're getting married, both have about the same odds for success. You also have to have a license for both and there is a bag limit, so to speak.

As with a contractor who builds a house, the real money to be made in marrying or hunting is in the "add-ons" you can charge for. For example, if you have to be at the scene of the accident anyway, you might as well get paid to be the one who marries the lucky couple. Granted, it does require some sort of certification but the barrier to entry is quite low. When my sister wanted me to marry her, not in a literal sense, I got my certification from the Rose Ministries of Las Vegas, Nevada, for $35.00. And I got to pick whether I wanted to be known as Pastor Pitts or Reverend Lee. (For a few dollars more I could have received a framed certificate instead of the cheap plastic card I settled for.) After the wedding at the reception you could charge for being the DJ who spins the country western music. (I'm assuming the young couple aren’t going to want hip hop or rap music, and I use the word “music” with great reservation.)

What better to serve at the barbecue af-

terwards than your own branded beef, mountain oysters and jerky. You could also charge for the bouquets and bouton-nieres made out of leafy spurge, sagebrush or kudzu. If your wife can sew, why not sell the bride and bridesmaid's dresses or rent out foot-wear like they do at the bowling alley. And what guests wouldn’t pay for valet parking, umbrel-las and pay toilets, after

all, I don't think wedding guests should be expected to use nature's facilities. I think many affluent guests would also pay a pretty penny for upgrading their seating arrangements from a hay bale to a plastic chair.

You could sell grass seed in cute little sacks to throw at the couple afterwards instead of rice. This brings in more income and will also reseed a pasture. If the party goers imbibe too much you can provide wagons and carriages with designated driv-ers to haul them home. Because they got their car dirty on your dirt road, of course you’re going to want to offer car washes as they exit your property. And if the father of the bride can't pay for all these add-ons, why not serve as his loan shark or bookie by carrying a note at an exorbitant rate of

interest, or by placing his bets? After all, any man who lets his precious daughter marry a cowboy has got to be a BIG gam-bler.

Granted, there are not so many opportu-nities for add-ons with hunting. Oh sure, you can charge a consultant fee to advise the hunter when he’s about to shoot one of your cows instead of a moose. You can also charge for a sleeping bag, guide services, port-a-potty, field dressing and for carrying out his buck. Speaking of carrying, if you can't get to the buck or elk your guest shot you would quite naturally add on a charge for cleanup services performed by the carrion that patrol your place. Naturally, if your guest killed an animal out of season, or an endangered species, I'm quite sure they'd expect you to charge for burial ser-vices too. I can envision a fee for dog rental, tree stand or duck blind rental, ammunition and artillery, cutting and wrapping, bribing the game warden, taxidermy, and tee shirts and caps advertising your ranch.

To really hit the jackpot you could com-bine marrying and hunting by offering a hunting honeymoon after the ranch wed-ding. Or a dude honeymoon by charging them for fixing your fence, flanking calves at your branding, or putting up your hay.

Just think my ranching friends, the world is your oyster and all you have to do is not be afraid to charge for them. The oysters, I mean.

Vote for school bondEarly voting for the Nov. 4 General Election starts this week. As Crockett

County voters go to the polls, we ask that you vote in favor of the $3 million Crockett County Consoli-dated Common School Dis-trict Bond.

This bond will fix a lot of areas in school district, in-cluding the purchase of new buses, technology for computer and science labs, resurface the track and new tennis courts.

If passed the bond is a step in getting our school district’s infrastructure upgraded.

The bond’s total of $3 million will also remain here in Crockett County. Bond money is not subject to state recapture.

In case you don’t know what that means, each year CCCCSD has to send more than half of its budget to the state to be distribut-ed out to poorer school dis-tricts, also known as the “Robin Hood” plan.

CCCCSD has an estimated budget of $25 million. This year an estimated $15 mil-lion will be sent to the state, leaving only $10 million to run the school district.

While $10 million sounds like a lot, it goes fast when you factor in payroll, health insurance, maintenance on existing buildings and housing and other needs.

With this bond, the dis-trict will be able to buy new buses and vehicles, which are greatly needed.

Most of the vehicles in the district have more than 100,000 miles. One of the suburbans has 220,000 miles.

In the last year, buses have broken down at least seven times. Some of the times were on trips when students were returning in the middle of the night. It has also been five years since the district has pur-chased a new bus.

The district’s vehicles are becoming unreliable and unsafe. With this bond, the district will be to upgrade the fleet.

Our students and teach-ers are riding in these ve-hicles. Trips are frequent in the school district with sports, band and academ-ic trips each year. We need to ensure that our chil-dren and teachers have safe transportation.

Also included in the bond

is new tennis courts and re-surfacing the track.

If you question these two items, then you obvious-ly have not used them. The tennis courts are in terrible shape. Ozona is not able to hold a tennis tournament because of the poor condi-tion of the courts.

We are also doing a disser-vice to our tennis team and to our community if these courts are not replaced.

The same can be said for our track. While it is in good condition now, a track needs to be resurfaced ev-ery five to seven years.

If the bond passes, the district can budget that bond money for future use on this project. School dis-tricts have 10 years to spend bond money.

Both the track and ten-nis courts are not only used by students, but also by the public as well. There’s an-other reason to vote yes for this bond.

The bond will also help upgrade computers and sci-ence labs, purchasing teach-ing equipment and sup-plies, upgrade classrooms in the high school and mid-dle school, purchase new equipment and upgrade safety issues in the agricul-ture shop and woodshop, fix roof leaks, repair teach-er housing and air condi-tioning and heating units.

All of these needs will ben-efit everyone in the district.

Taxes will be raised min-imally, $31.60 a year for a $100,000 home or $2.63 a month. That’s chump change compared to value of education this bond will provide for our students.

Also, taxpayers 65 and over will not have their tax-es go above the frozen levy amount/ceiling that was es-tablished whenever the over 65 exemption was granted.

Without the bond funds, these projects may take years to accomplish.

Leaving the schools as they are will fail to push on-ward the quality of educa-tion in the county.

So, go to the polls and vote your conscience. But consid-er what we've said here. Vot-ing for the bond is the right thing to do for the future of students in Crockett County.

Vote in support of the CCCCSD School Bond.

WHAT'S ON OUR MINDS EDITORIAL

2014

Time to make a commitment in your businessOct. 1 began a new program

year for the ASU Small Business Development Center since we operate on a federal term. For us it is a time of recommitment to those we serve, the small business owner.

As a team we will get together and revisit our values of integ-rity, excellence, service, and in-novation to make sure our team is still aligned with these impor-tant values, which are the guid-ing lights for us.

We will recommit to each oth-er as teammates and then re-commit to those we serve and make sure we are still aligned

with their needs as our customers.

We have a motto at the SBDC that goes like this: “We will mim-ic what we are asking our small business clients to do.”

Since most of us are for-mer business owners and managers, liv-ing up to this motto is impor-

tant. If we suggest to an own-er they need to work long and hard to solve a problem in their business, then we also need to work long and hard for them.

If we suggest they need to reach out to resources we and others have provided them, then we also need to reach out to re-sources to help them.

If we suggest ways for them to work together better as a team, then we also need to work on our team dynamics. If we advise their employees may need more training, then we have to com-mit to doing the same thing. If we provide technical training

and tools to a small business owner and stress they need to meet their sales, profit and cash position goals, then we need to meet our assigned goals (met-rics) as well.

In doing these things we are making sure we have integrity (one of our values), and we are earning the right to assist them. We are not asking our clients to do anything we are not also will-ing to do ourselves.

We are aligned with them in this way. This is very important to us that we recommit to this every year.

My suggestion is to look at

your business in the same way and ask the following questions. What commitments are you making to your key customers? Is your team aligned with what your key customers or your key customer segments are wanting from your business?

Get together with your team and revisit these things to make sure you are aligned with your customers or at least your key customer segments.

I know in the heat of the bat-tle of everyday business it is hard to carve out time to do this. I remember those days well and even now we find it some-

times difficult to do. But re-member that successful busi-ness owners and managers step back and take time to work on their business, as well as work in the business.

Stepping back and working on your teams’ alignment with your customers’ expectations is a good example of working on your business. I wish you the best in this effort, and hope it is of value to you.

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER MELISSA PERNER was part of the Texas Del-egation that attended the 128th annual National Newspaper Conven-tion and Trade Show, Oct. 2-4, in San Antonio.

The Ozona Stockman staff has received several awards in the National News-paper Association's 2014 Better Newspaper Editorial and Advertising Contests.

The Stockman was re-ceived an honorable mention in General Excellence, which is the highest category in the competition.

The paper also won sec-ond place for Best Local News Coverage.

Photographer Joe Her-nandez won second place in Best Sports Photo.

Advertising Director Su-san Calloway won honor-able mention for the annual Hunting Guide Special Edi-tion and honorable mention for Best Advertising Idea for last year's Evening on the Town ads.

"I am very proud of my staff and all the hard work they do each week to pro-vide the readers of Crockett County the best local news-paper," Perner said.

Perner also attended the 128th annual National News-paper Convention, Oct. 2-4, in San Antonio. Perner was part of the Texas Delegation. The convention had attend-ees from all over the country.

She attended sessions about "Defamation Law: How to Safely Publish the News" led by Laura Lee Prather, Haynes & Boone LLP, Aus-tin; "Stories from the Front: How the Public's Right to Know Through Public Notice is Defended," which delved into newspaper notices as the main mode of keeping

the public informed inde-pendently, authentically and easily accessible; a session on investigative reporting in small communities and idea-sharing sessions on best practices and advertising.

Current Texas Press As-sociation President Randy Mankin, publisher of the El-dorado Success and the Big Lake Wildcat, served proudly as Texas' flag bearer during the opening flag ceremony.

A friend told me to look in the mirror when I am shaving and see who I really am. This morning I looked in the mir-ror and what did I see? I saw a mixture of both sides of my family. I saw some characteristics of my Dad’s family and I could also see some of the characteristics of my mother’s family. There are many positive or good character traits I inherited from my parents but there is one negative and that was the propensity (the desire to) to disobey or sin. Man-kind’s disobedience actually started with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, (Genesis 3:9-19) and it has passed on to every generation of every nation (Romans 3:9-12, 23). I can’t blame my parents because when I got older I chose of my own free will to disobey. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyway. I am accountable to God for what I have done and no one else, (Romans 14:12). Disobedience affects or changes our relationship to God. After Adam and Eve disobeyed God they knew something was different and they were afraid and hid, (Genesis 3:7&8). As I looked in the mirror I saw a sinner but one thing has changed. I have asked God to forgive my sins, (1John 1:9) and I have put my faith in Christ Jesus (John 1:12; Romans 3:22-24). There is hope (Romans 4:7&8). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J

WORDS OF INSPIRATION

Missionaries to the homelessPedro and Penny Lazaro

are missionaries based at the Calvary Baptist Church here in Ozona. When Pedro first came to our country he lived the life of a variant, homeless and help-less on the streets of a large city. Since that time, God has wonderfully lifted him out of that lifestyle. Today, he enjoys a very comfortable life with his wife Penny working as a heavy equipment operator for a local contractor. God has placed a very special calling on the lives of Pedro and Penny. He has placed a burden on the hearts of this couple to go back and serve and minister to the home-less and deprived of our urban areas. They have served in Ne-vada, Utah, and Oklahoma and now in Texas. Since they came to Ozona they have carried the gospel to the homeless in San Angelo, Dallas, San Antonio and many points in between.

Pedro and Penny felt led to do this in a very special way. They put together “care pack-ages” for those who are needy.

These packages are actually small canvass bags filled with items needed to subsist on the streets. The bags contain non-perishable food items, personal hygiene items, clothing items, blankets, reading glasses and most important a Bible and Bible verses. The bag and its contents have a value of about $50 or more. The bags and items are purchased by the Lazaro’s with some help from various church’s and friends of the ministry.

When Pedro and Penny give one of the bags to a needy person they also deliver the good news of Jesus Christ and pray with the receiver of the bag to give them an opportuni-ty to ask Jesus into their heart

as their Savior. Calvary Bap-tist Church is proud that Pe-dro and Penny have chosen to serve through the framework of our fellowship. On Oct. 19, CBC helped Pedro and Penny stuff 50 bags to be delivered by them over the next couple of weeks. Please pray for this courageous couple as they go that they might be safe and successful in their journeys. If you would like to support their efforts, you may send contributions to Pedro and Penny Lazaro at Calvary Bap-tist Church, at P.O. Box 1004, Ozona, Texas 76943.

DAN SLEDGE is the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Ozona, Texas.

Nelda Jean Clark OwensNelda Jean Clark Owens,

84, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, October 14th, at the Iraan General Hospital with her family by her side.

Jean was born January 31, 1930 in Iraan, Texas to Delfo and Neta Clark.

Jean spent her youth in Iraan growing up in the Stan-dard Oil Camp amongst many friends, her parents, and her little sister, Sue. She was an IHS pep squad leader and played the piano beautifully. Nelda Jean graduated from Iraan High School in 1948 and decided to attend Busi-ness School in Abilene. Fate stepped in that Fall when the love of her life, Amos Owens, asked her to marry him. She came home and they were married on January 8, 1949. They made their home on the Owens Ranch in Crock-ett County, where she would spend the next 47 years as a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. In 1996, they retired from ranching and moved back to Iraan, where she spent the remainder of her life. Jean was a wonder-ful mother and exceptional grandmother. Her grandchil-dren loved Nana and spent many hours of their child-hood at her house, where she cooked and played for hours with them. For more than sixty years, she loved camp-ing with family on the Devil's River each summer. Family meant everything to her.

Jean was a member of the Iraan Church of Christ. She was a kind, Christian woman, who loved God. This was evident in how she lived. She was a true example of Christian faith.

Some of her favorite hob-bies included reading, sifting through family photos, and playing Scrabble. Nelda Jean had a love for West Texas and it's scenery and enjoyed exploring and looking for old glass bottles. She was a board member of the Iraan Senior Citizen Center and Iraan Museum. She was a founding

member of the Iraan Hospital Auxiliary and a member of the Iraan Archeology Society. Jean was a prominent member of the Iraan Ex-Students Associa-tion from it's beginning, where she helped host homecomings throughout the years.

Jean (Nana) meant the world to her family and friends. She will be genu-inely missed by all that were blessed to know her.

Nelda Jean is survived by her daughter, Linda Sue Ow-ens Gage and husband, Ken-ny Bill, and her son, James Weldon Owens, and wife Cindy; three grandchildren, Brandi Gage Beeler and hus-band, Shane, Chey-Anne Gage Smart and husband, Kyle, and Dawson Clay Owens; 4 great grandchildren, Slade, Finley, Campbell, and Gunnar. Her sister, Sue Womack of Colo-rado City. Lifelong friends, Wanda Morrow and Marie Richardson and many more friends and family members.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Amos Owens

BY LAUREL SCOTTANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY

Duncan Knox, a senior in the An-gelo State University Honors Program, has been selected as a 2014-15 Presidential Fellow by the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) in Washington, D.C.

A history major from Ozona, Knox is one of only 64 Presidential Fellows from uni-versities throughout the U.S. and select foreign nations. He will join the other Fellows to attend the CSPC’s Fall Leader-ship Conference Oct. 23-25 in Washington, D.C., where he will hear keynote speakers and participate in discussions with specialists in U.S. gov-ernment and international af-fairs, senior government and military leaders, and industry leaders in business, media and public policy.

Speakers at this year’s conference will include Christopher Lu, deputy sec-retary of the U.S. Department of Labor; Jon Clifton, man-aging editor of the Gallup World Poll; and Clive Crook, former deputy editor of The Economist.

As a Presidential Fel-low, Knox will also be paired with a research mentor for an extensive research proj-ect investigating the federal government’s approach to issues involving freedom of expression. He will then join the other Fellows for a sec-ond leadership conference next spring in Washington, D.C., where they will engage in another round of policy workshops and present their research projects to peers and judging panels.

Knox is the second ASU Honors Program student to be named a CSPC Presidential Fellow, joining Donald “Trey” Moore of Colleyville, who was selected last year. Knox also represented ASU at the 55th U.S. Air Force Academy Assembly in February and completed an internship this summer in the Office of the Curator at the U.S. Supreme Court. Last year, he partici-pated in a Fulbright Summer Institute for Young American Student Leaders at the Uni-versity of Bristol in England.

Incorporated in 1969, the CSPC is a non-profit, non-partisan policy and educa-tion organization located in Washington, D.C. Its Presi-dential Fellows Program was founded in 1970 as a way to bridge the leadership gap between current and future generations. Since its incep-tion, the program has served more than 1,000 students, many of whom have gone on to compete successfully for major national scholarships. More details are available on the CSPC website at www.the-presidency.org/.

LIONS: from page 1overall and 1-0 in district. Christoval dropped to 2-6 and 1-1.

“I was just doing my job,” said Lombraña, who cracked a smile as fans walked up and shook his hand and patted him on the shoulder pads. “It felt great to force a turnover. Right then and there, it was a huge game changer.”

Ozona would take advan-tage of the turnover by scor-ing on the very next offensive play — a 34-yard run by Ryan Porras who outran most of the Christoval defenders off a pitch to the left side at the 11:42 mark of the first.

Porras, who ran for 95 yards and one touchdown, credited his defense for set-ting up his offense in prime scoring position.

“All the credit goes to them,” said Porras, who had two runs of 20 yards or more in the win. “It really was a huge turn of momentum in the game. We were ready to play after a week off.”

While the offense showed

its prowess running the ball — amassing 257 yards on the ground — the defense stepped up its game as well.

Christoval, which came into Friday’s contest averag-ing 29 points per game, had its pass game slowed down almost to a halt — at times — due to the Lions keeping de-fenders in front of them and staying aware of quick screen passes to both hash marks.

“We’ve been playing re-ally good defense all year, but it’s even better when you play great defense once dis-trict starts,” Lombraña said. “That’s the fun time.”

The Lions would shut out the Cougars in the first half, while their offense recorded another score — this time on a 15-yard scamper by Lom-braña with 21 seconds left in the first quarter — before jumping out to a 29-7 advan-tage at the break.

“The run game helped a lot, and it opened up our play-action passes,” said Ricky Porras, who ran for 59 yards. “We were running the ball well. I have to give the credit to our stop blockers,

who gave us (running) lanes.”Christoval was able to get

going on offense, especial-ly quarterback Jakob Whit-worth.

The junior quarterback threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns, but threw three costly interceptions in the loss.

The Cougars scored 15 points in the fourth quar-ter, but only after the Lions tacked on 13 points in the fi-nal two frames.

Wide receiver Hayden Hargraves caught the two touchdown passes — for 39 and 10 yards — on the way to the 42-22 loss.

After taking a week off from the football grind, Per-ez said he was proud of the effort from his troops.

“Our kids executed when they needed to,” said Perez, whose team increased its win streak to five games. “They watched film, were familiar with their offense and suc-ceeded.”

Ozona travels to Forsan this week. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Friday.

CERTIFICATE FOR ORDER

We, the undersigned County Judge and County Clerk of Crockett County, Texas (the "County"), hereby certify as follows: 1. The Commissioner's Court of the County (the "County") convened in special meeting on the 18th day of August, 2014, (the "Meeting"), and the roll was called of the duly constituted officers and members of the Court, to-wit:

Fred Deaton County JudgeFrank Tambunga Commissioner

Pleas Childress, III CommissionerRandy Branch CommissionerEligio Martinez Commissioner

and all of said persons were present, except the following absentees:____________, thus constituting a quorum. Whereupon, among other business the fol-lowing was transacted at the Meeting: a written order entitled

AN ORDER CALLING A BOND ELECTION TO BE HELD BY THE CROCKETT COUNTY COMMISSION-ER'S COURT, MAKING PROVISION FOR THE CON-DUCT OF THE ELECTION, AND RESOLVING OTHER

MATTERS INCIDENT AND RELATED TO SUCH ELECTION

(the "Order") was duly introduced for the consider-ation of the Board. It was then duly moved and seconded that the Order be passed; and, after due discussion, said motion, carrying with it the passage of the Order, prevailed and carried by the following votes:

AYES: 5NOES: 0

ABSTENTIONS: 0

2. A true, full, and correct copy of the Order passed at the Meeting is attached to and follows this Certificate; the Order has been duly recorded in the County's minutes of the Meeting; the above and foregoing paragraph is a true, full, and correct excerpt from the Court’s minutes of the Meeting pertaining to the passage of the Order; the persons named in the above and foregoing paragraph are the duly chosen, quali-fied, and acting officers and members of the Court as indicated therein; each of the officers and members of the Court was duly and sufficiently notified of-ficially and personally, in advance, of the time, place, and purpose of the Meeting, and that the Order would be introduced and considered for passage at the Meeting, and each of the officers and members con-sented, in advance, to the holding of the Meeting for such purpose; and the Meeting was open to the pub-lic, and public notice of the time, place, and purpose of the Meeting was given all as required by Chapter 551, Texas Government Code, as amended.

When a voter arrives at a polling location, the vot-er will be asked to present one of the seven acceptable forms of photo ID.

Election officials will now be required by State law to determine whether the vot-er’s name on the identifica-tion provided matches the name on the official list of registered voters (“OLRV”).

After a voter presents their ID, the election worker will compare it to the OLRV. If the name on the ID match-es the name on the list of registered voters, the voter will follow the regular proce-dures for voting.

If the name does not match exactly but is “sub-stantially similar” to the name on the OLRV, the voter will be permitted to vote as long as the voter signs an af-fidavit stating that the voter is the same person on the list of registered voters.

If a voter does not have proper identification, the vot-er will still be permitted to vote provisionally. The voter will have six days to present proper identification to the county voter registrar, or the voter’s ballot will be rejected.

Voters with a disability may apply with the county voter registrar for a perma-nent exemption. The appli-cation must contain written documentation from either the U.S. Social Security Ad-ministration evidencing he or she has been determined to have a disability, or from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs evidencing a disabil-ity rating of at least 50 per-cent.

In addition, the applicant must state that he or she has no valid form of photo iden-tification. Those who obtain a disability exemption will be allowed to vote by present-ing a voter registration cer-tificate reflecting the exemp-tion. For more information, call the Crockett County Tax

Office at 392-2674. Voters who have a con-

sistent religious objection to being photographed and vot-ers who do not have any valid form of photo identification as a result of certain natu-ral disasters as declared by the President of the United States or the Texas Governor, may vote a provisional bal-lot, appear at the voter reg-istrar’s office within six cal-endar days after election day, and sign an affidavit swear-ing to the religious objection or natural disaster, in order for your ballot to be counted. For more information, call the Crockett County Tax Of-fice at 392-2674.

Some of the items on the ballot include a heavily watched race between Demo-cratic incumbent Pete Gallego and Republican challenger Will Hurd for the District 23 Congressional seat.

Crockett County will also have a new state represen-tative after this election. Re-publican Andrew Murr is fac-ing Libertarian Maximillian Martin for the State Rep. Dis-trict 53 seat.

Locally, none of the coun-ty races are contested and only one CCCCSD School Board race is contested.

For District 4 voters will have to decided between in-cumbent Ray Don Myers and Ryan Bean.

The CCCCSD School Board also has a proposed $3 million bond. The proposed bond will be used in three ar-eas, transportation, technolo-gy and maintenance.

The district will:• Purchase four buses

and two vehicles.• Update computer labs,

purchase new computers and support for all campuses.

• Update science labs and equipment for all campuses.

• Purchase teaching equipment and supplies for student use for all campuses.

• Addre
