Children's choir from Uganda in Pecos
PECOS, Jan. 20, 2003 - A Children's Choir that is traveling throughout Texas will be in Pecos
for a performance this Wednesday.
The group, called the Watoto Children's Choir, brings with
them harmonic perfection, blended with the exotic rhythms of Africa.
The "Concerts of Hope" were brought to the Texas area beginning
in November.
They will be performing at 7 p.m., Wednesday at the First
United Methodist Church at Third and Elm Streets. The concert is free and a
love offering will be taken.
Presented by Watoto ("children" in African) Child Care,
the youngsters live in Watoto children's villages near Kampala, Uganda,
in eastern Africa. The village was created by missionaries in 1994
to take care of the thousands of Ugandan children left orphaned
by the AIDS epidemic and the civil war in that area. Currently, nearly
1,500 children are cared for in the villages and the goal is to build homes
and schools to care for 30,000 of the orphans.
"Our goal is to equip these precious children with the essential moral
values and life skills," said Gary and Mary Skinner, directors and founds of
the Watoto Child Care Ministries, "that will enable them to make a
significant and lasting impact on the future of
their country."
African drums resound during the concert, and one by one the
children come dancing down the aisles in their Ugandan costumes.
Throughout Watoto's "Concert of Hope,"
Skinner said individuals experience the energy and sense the joy and hope that
these beautiful Ugandan orphans have found.
Approximately 60 children a year are trained to tour.
Tim and Aimee Skinner directors of the choir. "One of the
most heartwarming aspects of this choir is the fact that these children, who
may have been eating out of a garbage heap one day, are given the opportunity
of a lifetime to train with the adult leaders of the choir and tour around
the world," Aimee said, while Tim added, "It's an experience that is
life-altering."
Funding for the ministry is made possible by the giving of
concerned individuals, churches and communities, through an offering at the end of
the performances. The villages consist of single-family dwellings housing
eight children and a house mother. Each home costs $10,000 to build.
Local families can support the orphans for a $25 per month contribution.
Bodies of Midland minister, family found
PHOENIX (AP) - A hiker found a plane Sunday evening that
crashed about eight miles north of Flagstaff, Ariz., nearly two weeks ago,
Coconino County sheriff's officials said.
The twin-engine Piper PA-23 was en route from Las Vegas to
Midland when it disappeared from radar Jan. 8, said Federal Aviation
Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer.
The plane was registered to the Cowboy Church of the American
West in Midland.
Authorities said aboard the plane were believed to be church
pastor Monty Price, his wife, Susan; their son, Jake; and Lendon Stovall,
who was identified as Jake's girlfriend.
A hiker found the wreckage in a densely wooded and
sparsely populated area near Schultz Peak, said Bill Pribil of the Coconino
County Sheriff's Department.
Four bodies were found inside the plane that apparently burned
on impact. There didn't appear to be any survivors, Pribil said.
Officials plan to remove the bodies from the wreckage Monday, he
said. They will be taken to the Coconino County medical examiner, where
they will be identified, Pribil said.
Barber Shop burglars cut out with cash, clippers
By SMOKEY BRIGGS
Staff Writer
PECOS, Jan. 20, 2003 - Ryan's Barber Shop at 216 S. Eddy St. was robbed either on Thursday
or Friday night last week.
The robbery was not discovered until Saturday afternoon when
Earlie Wilson came in to check on some of his customer's shoes. Wilson has
a shoeshine stand in the shop.
"We didn't find out till Saturday since I had a doctor's appointment
on Friday," owner Lee Ryan said. Normally he opens the shop
Monday through Friday.
According to Ryan the robber's sweet tooth may be his downfall.
"They broke in through the back and you can tell they were real
careful not to leave any finger prints," Ryan said. "You could see where they
used paper towels and things to move things."
"The police weren't having any luck finding fingerprints until I
noticed that all the gum I keep for the kids was gone too."
That's where they found some good prints and there was a coffee cup
full of tootsie pops and they took all the tootsie pops. There were finger
prints on the cup as well," he said.
Ryan said that the robber or robbers stole several sets of electric
hair clippers, a VCR camera and $30 out of the cash drawer.
"It will cost me about $1,000 to replace the clippers," Ryan said.
When he learned of the robbery Ryan first went to his shop and
then to Odessa to buy more clippers.
"I wanted to make sure I was open today," Ryan said. "They aren't
going to beat me."
Ryan said that he planned on replacing the back door with the
glass plane where the robber gained entry with something sturdier and was
going to install an alarm system as well.
In addition he plans to start taking his clippers home with him each night.
Ryan opened the doors this morning just like it was any other Monday.
A few of the regulars were there by 10:00 a.m.
"All the important stuff is still
here," Ryan said motioning toward the table near his barber's chair.
"They left the dominoes so I'm still in business," he said.
