A local man was arrested Wednesday night on drug related charges,
following a warrant search of his home last month.
Myron Nigiel Jenkins, 26, 902 E. Ninth, was pulled over by several
police units just before 10 p.m. in the 800 block of West Pinehurst
Street.
He was served a warrant charging him with possession of drug
paraphernalia and marijuana issued after a local entry team entered his
home on Oct. 11.
Police Narcotics Investigator Paul Deishler said earlier today that no
one was home when the search was conducted and a, "pretty good size of
marijuana," was discovered in a black plastic bag. Drug paraphernalia
was also found there, Deishler added.
"We seized the evidence," he said, before drawing up an affidavit and
getting the arrest order issued.
As of noon today, Jenkins remained in the Reeves County Jail on a $500
bond for the marijuana possession charge. Municipal Judge Phyllis Salyer
handed down $232 in fines for the paraphernalia charge.
City trash trucks were emptying the dumpsters and taking them to Pecos
Valley Recyclers until the council entered an agreement with Wes-Tex
Waste to pick up and dispose of all solid waste.
Lawrence Kennedy, Wes Tex Waste vice president, said today that the city
was to have continued picking up the newspapers but have not done so.
Kevin Butts asked Wes-Tex Waste today to provide that service, and they
have agreed to do so, Kennedy said.
"We are going to work with Butts and try to help him out," Kennedy said.
"He has had problems getting rid of newsprint. There's a possibility he
won't even be picking it up."
Tino Vasquez, who has operated the recycling center for Butts over the
past week and a half, said he has received no newspapers from the
dumpsters.
"The boss tells me there were supposed to be some trucks picking them up
today, because they are all full," Vasquez said this morning.
Vasquez said he is accepting only cardboard, newspapers and plastic
bottles at the recycling center.
Pecos City Council is in the second month of a three-month trial period
with Wes-Tex Waste picking up all solid waste from dumpsters and alleys,
hauling it to their landfill at Penwell.
The council is to consider on Tuesday whether to approve a five-year
contract with the company.
Starting January 1, 1997, higher scores will be required by Texans
taking the GED battery to receive their certificate.
Currently, those taking the exam are required to earn a score of 40 or
above on each of the five tests <fn11>or <fn9>have an overall average of
45 on all of the exams.
Beginning with the new year, GED hopefuls will be required to earn a
score of 40 or above on each of the tests <Fn11>and <fn9>have an overall
average of 45 on all of the exams.
These scores are used to measure competency in writing, social studies,
science, literature and mathematics.
Presently, said GED Administrator Michelle Workman, there are 400 Pecos
residents that have not completed the GED but have passed one or more
parts.
Workman said she has scheduled for three separate testing periods
between now and Jan. 1, 1997 to allow these people or anyone else
wishing to earn their GED certificate the opportunity to successfully
complete all of the five exams before having to adhere to the new
standards.
The registration deadline for the first test session is Nov. 8. Test
dates are Nov. 11 and 12.
Registrations for the second test session must be in by Nov. 22. Testing
will be Nov. 25 and 26.
The third and final testing period for 1996 will be Dec. 7, 9 and 10.
Registrations must be in by Dec. 6.
For more information, Workman can be reached at 1304 S. Park or call

Bessie Haynes Elementary School recently celebrated "Red Ribbon Week,"
with a host of activities, including guest speakers.
"It was a huge success thanks to the efforts and cooperation of our
students, faculty, staff, parent volunteers, and community agencies,"
said Principal Mary Lou Carrasco.
"We are especially thankful to the personnel who took time out of their
busy schedules to help forge our children's commitment to live a
drug-free lifestyle," said Carrasco.
Special guests included Emmit Moore with the Texas Department of Public
Safety; Paul Deishler, Pecos Police Department; John Deering, Texas
Alcohol Beverage Commission; Clayton McKinney and Floyd Estrada, Reeves
County Sheriff's Department; Ernie Van Der Lees and "Crasch" with the
Permian Basin Drug Task Force; Sandra Yaeger with the 143rd Judicial
District and Frank and Candy Ornelas with the Permian Basin Drug and
Alcohol Council.
Bernadette Ornelas and Jim Adams were Red Ribbon Week Coordinators for
Bessie Haynes.
Guest speaker for the worship service that morning will be John Barrett,
a former Fort Stockton pastor who now resides in Midland as the general
evangelist for the New Mexico Conference area of the Methodist Church.
"We are very fortunate to have John come to Pecos," said First United's
pastor, Derrell Evins. "He's looking forward to the visit, and we're
excited, too."
Pecos Methodists established Harvest Day more than 40 years ago as a
special thanksgiving for the harvest of crops. In more recent years, as
farming has decreased, Harvest Day has come to include celebration of
all types of blessings.
Moreover, Evins said, the annual celebration has become a "homecoming,"
as former church members return to Pecos to gather with current members,
guests and friends of the church in the community as well as with
members of Pecos' sister church, Toyah United Methodist.
"As one of our members pointed out, Harvest Day has become a harvesting
of souls, bringing souls together and rekindling friendships," Evins
said.
Barrett began his ministry in his home state of Georgia, where he
pastored four Methodist churches from 1975 through 1984. Under Barrett's
leadership at United Methodist churches in Cloudcroft, N.M. from
1984-1985 and in El Paso from 1985-89, each church was honored with the
Bishop's Award for Excellence on Evangelism.
Barrett served the Fort Stockton United Methodist Church from 1989-1993.
He then served the Lovington, N.M. church until his appointment in 1996
as the first general evangelist for the New Mexico area conference.
Barrett also currently serves on the Sacramento Methodist Assembly Board
and the Odessa District Committee on Ordained Ministry. He and his wife,
Juleanne, have four daughters, ranging in ages from five to college age.
"Along with his many credentials," Evins said, "John has a special kind
of humor that he brings to his ministry. We know that he'll be a
blessing to our Harvest Day celebration this year."
Barrett will be speaking Sunday at the Toyah church during its 8:30 a.m.
service. At the Pecos church, Third and Elm Streets, the Harvest Day
celebration will begin with Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. Barrett will
bring the message during morning worship, beginning at 10:55 a.m.
The worship service will be followed by a covered dish luncheon in the
fellowship hall of the church. Members will bring vegetable dishes,
salads and desserts to accompany the meat provided by the church.
"We welcome all who would like to share in this Harvest Day," Evins said.
