Gifts handed out to “Christmas for Kids” families
A long line of recipients for the Christmas for Kids Program was waiting patiently at the Pecos Housing Authority Meeting Room on Friday evening for toys and other items to be distributed to needy families in the area.
“It was a huge success and we’re very happy with the outcome,” said Alva Alvarez, organizer for this year’s event.
Alvarez took over the program for 2010, after the founders and longtime “Christmas for Kids” organizers, Sofia Baeza and Linda Clark, said that they would no longer be hosting the annual event.
“It is a true privilege for me to be taking over the program. I have very big shoes to fill,” Alvarez said.
Families and children started picking up their gifts at the Pecos Housing Authority meeting room, 600 Meadowbrook Dr., at 6 p.m.
The individuals also had an opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa Claus and to enjoy hot chocolate and cookies.
The program provides the needed essentials for those children and families in the community that would otherwise not receive gifts during the Christmas holidays.
This year the program served 155 children and 43 families.
“I’m really thankful to the whole community who made all this possible,” said Alvarez.
The group raised about $10,000 to buy the essential for the children.
A raffle was held for one big “prize,” a Rock Band Game System, which was won by Fernando Santiesteban.
“It’s all about making it a merrier Christmas for the underprivileged kids of Pecos and their families. That’s my only goal,” said Alvarez.
Christmas for Kids is made possible through the help of many volunteers and generous donors who provide funding for the gifts of clothing and shoes given to the children.
Last year, the group served 126 families and provided gifts for 372 boys and girls, with items delivered in mid-December.
“We want to thank all of those individuals, businesses, and clubs who have made this program a success in the past, and with your continued support, we are confident that we will succeed in touching children’s lives in the future,” said Alvarez.
Boyd selected as P-B-T ISD superintendent
A graduate of Pecos High School 40 years ago has been selected to serve as the new superintendent for the Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD.
Clarke Boyd, who graduated school in Pecos in 1970, was chosen as the lone finalist for the position of superintendent during a special meeting by the P-B-T ISD board on Thursday night.
Boyd, who was one of two finalists for the position, was in Pecos last Tuesday and Wednesday to meet with the community and answer any questions they might have. He has previously served as a principal in the Greenwood ISD, and for the past 12 years has been superintendent in Holliday ISD, near Wichita Falls.
“We don’t have a specific time yet, of when he’ll be here,” said P-B-T ISD Interim Superintendent Maxie Watts said on Friday. “We’ll be working out the details in January.”
Watts said that Boyd is in the process of working with his board on leaving the position in the upcoming weeks. “They’ll be discussing releasing him from his contract,” he said.
The decision to name Boyd as the lone finalist was unanimous, with only one board member absent for the special meeting held last Thursday, after members met with Boyd and the other finalist, Tornillo ISD Superintendent Paul Vranish, earlier in the week.
Board members including board president Bill Oglesby; vice-president Louis Matta; secretary Paul Deishler and members Gail Box, Randy Graham and Louis Juarez were on hand for the special meeting. Absent was John Granado who was also unable to make some of the other special meetings concerning the new superintendent.
Holliday ISD has seen it’s Texas Education Association Campus Accountability Ratings rise each of the past three years, with two of the district’s three campuses, Holliday High School and Holliday Middle School, receiving exemplary ratings in 2010, the highest rating available from the TEA The district under Boyd had received no “unacceptable” ratings in the seven years since the Texas Assessment of Knowledge Skills (TAKS) test was implemented by the TEA.
Holliday ISD had no campus rated below “acceptable” under the former TAAS testing system during Boyd’s tenure as superintendent between 1998 and 2003. The district also had similar results during the first four years of the TAAS testing and the current TEA Accountability Ratings, from 1994-97.
Until Boyd officially accepts the position, which under state law he can’t do any earlier than Jan. 6, and arrives in Pecos, Watts will remain as interim superintendent.
“I will stay as long as he wants me to stay, of course, we have to wait the 21 days and then when they determine when he can come in, we’ll discuss how long I’ll stay,” said Watts.
Watts, who began serving as interim P-B-T ISD superintendent in March following the resignation of Santos Lujan Jr. after two months on the job, said that he will be available to help with the transition through the end of February.
“I thought the process went well and the board worked very hard,” said Watts. “I hope that this works out well for the district.”
Chamber discusses clean-up day plan
A cleanup day to help out the city was a suggestion made by the Pecos Area Chamber of Commerce President during their regular meeting held last week.
“I think we should have a clean up day sometime in the Spring and help out the city or coordinate something with them,” said chamber board member Joe Keese.
Keese said that the city has been working on clean up efforts and suggested that the chamber join them and have one big clean up day in the spring.
“They have already demolished about 25 buildings and hope to have 25 more done,” he said. “We’ve been seeing a lot of lots cleaned up, but there’s more to do.”
Keese suggested that they get everyone together, students, clubs and organizations and have a clean-up weekend. “We need to get everyone energized,” he said.
Keese said that in the city where he used to live that they had a big cleanup once a year. “It takes all year to plan, but when they do, they have about 13,250 students helping out,” he said.
With the boom in the oilfield, more people will be coming in to Pecos and there are other companies wanting to come, according to Keese, who currently is serving as Pecos Economic Development Corp. interim executive director.
“It’s fixing to get busy and we’re in a position to bring them here, so we want to put our best foot forward,” he said.
Keese said that he would like to see a project like this get underway.
In other action, Chamber director Linda Gholson told the group that the Annual Christmas Parade was a huge success. “We received a lot of compliments and the courthouse was lit up and cookies and hot chocolate were provided by the county judge,” said Gholson.
Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD Interim Superintendent Maxie Watts talked to the group about the two candidates for the position of superintendent. “They are both very qualified and good candidates,” said Watts.
Board member Gail Box suggested that the chamber do something for the Teacher of the Year, Diana Renz, who was also named Regional Teacher of the Year.
“I think she deserves some recognition,” said Box.
Debbie Thomas said that they are currently looking for board members for the Texas Pecos Trails. “The board serves 22 counties and are currently taking applications for board members,” said Thomas.
“We try to spread over 22 counties with nine board members,” she said.
Thomas said that they were also working diligently on the depot, during the Main Street discussion.
“We’re going to put in handrails,” said Thomas, who added that about 100 students went through the depot to see the glass blowing, during the pre-Fourth of July events around the West of the Pecos Rodeo
Red Bluff hears new offer to burn off dead salt cedars
Red Bluff Water Power Control District board members heard a presentation on Tuesday from a Panhandle company involved with controlled burn fires, as part of the district’s efforts to find a way to burn dead salt cedar trees along the Pecos River.
Michael Bland and Archie Stone of Global Frontline Solutions made the presentation during the board’s monthly meeting in Pecos. They were the second group to talk to the Red Bluff board about taking up the salt cedar burning project, after the Texas Forest Service failed to complete the project before its state funding ran out in July.
Larry Weaver of Texas Fire Resources in Granbury met with the board in November on the problem of dead salt cedars clogging the Pecos from Red Bluff Lake to Imperial Reservoir. Bland and Stone made their presentation on Tuesday during the public comments portion of the meeting.
The dead trees along the river pose a threat to bridges, dams and gates downstream in the event of a major flood, but a three-year program to burn the trees by the Texas Forest Service only covered a fraction of the area between Red Bluff Dam and Imperial Reservoir before funding ran out. Board members said they will have to take bids if they bring in a private company to complete the project.
Bland said his company was started a year ago, after he worked for the National Parks Service for 17 years in fire management projects, including the past few years at Lake Meredith in the northern Panhandle. “I’ve also worked at Bitter Lake near Roswell, and worked with the BLM (U.S. Bureau of Land Management) in Carlsbad and did a lot of work on the Pecos,” he said.
He said GFS has access to as many as 60 people and three fire vehicles that can help with the controlled burn project on the Pecos. “When you say it’s time and we want this done, that’s what our company does. We don’t allow anything to compete, and will get done in the time frame you expect it done in.”
He said the company can set up mobile base camps at the burn sites, so that workers wouldn’t have to drive to and from the locations each day. “We want to get the maximum amount of work for you,” Bland told the board.
In other action, the board approved monthly bills and reports along with a budget for 2011 and a job description for the position of general manger of the district, and agreed to financially assist the seven sub-districts with some of their projects.
Board member Jay Lee said the sub-districts have seen less money due to lower interest rates from their share of the $14 million Pecos River Compact settlement, and that in the past, the district had helped Red Bluff with projects when it was short of funds.
“We can’t just give them money. When they want to do something like clearing the canals or whatever, we can give them money for that,” he said, while adding, “At the same time, we’ll have to set a spending limit.”
Prewit said the new budget would also contain $100,000 for legal expenses, if any new legislation involving Red Bluff is introduced in the upcoming session of the Texas Legislature. The board was involved in a dispute with State Representative Pete Gallego in 2009 over the creation of a state-run Pecos River Authority that would have moved control of the allocation of river water from West Texas to Austin.
The budget also contains funds for completing the work to replace and leave open the locks at the Red Bluff Dam spillway, and for the targeted rain test project the board discussed earlier this fall.
“Just because it’s there doesn’t mean we have to spend it. It’s just a close estimate, if we do it at all,” said Jay Lee. “We can amend it if we need to.”
The board also was told New Mexico had released 15,000 acre/feet of water down the Pecos to Texas, cutting the loss total over the past 12 months at Red Bluff Lake. “We’re 4,800 acre/feet different than what we started with a year ago,” Prewit said.
The board agreed to use a modification of the general manager’s job description by board member Clay Lee, who was not at last Tuesday’s meeting. Lee’s description was based on a longer one proposed by Prewit.
“I like Clay’s. His is more concise,” Jay Lee said. The description will better lay out what the responsibilities of the general manager and the district’s other employees are.
“That’s important because we have never had it,” said board member Charlotte Wilcox.
Board members also agreed to give the district’s employees merit bonuses of 50 percent of one month’s salary. Lee said the board had done this in the past, but had not approved the bonus plan for the past couple of years.
Modern Study Club holds art department meeting
Members of The Modern Study Club of Pecos met in the First Christian Church Parlor, on Wednesday, Nov. 10, for an arts department program, with Etta Bradley, arts chairman, conducting a rehearsal of Christmas Carols to be sung at the Pecos Nursing Home on Dec. 11.

A letter from Catherine Travland, Western District Membership Chairman, regarding the GFWC’s Seasonal Recruitment Campaign was explained. This is a new, nationwide membership recruitment initiative, which replaces ACT in Oct. Recruiting members is a year-round process, and our new initiative reflects this. A club that recruits three new members each season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) will end the year with 12 new members. Reports will be sent each quarter to GFWC and each club recruiting three new members will be recognized in the next GFWC Clubwoman Magazine. Enclosed are GFWC suggestions for recruiting each month.
Federation Counselor Paula Fuller reported on Ebony Benton’s Conservation Station Field Day as reported in the TFWC Clubwoman Magazine. More than 250 students from area schools traveled to the Reeves County Rodeo Grounds on May 5, to fill up their knowledge tanks at the 1st Annual Conservation Station Field Day. Participating students traveled through nine stations learning things about Africanized killer bees, rain water harvesting, soil and range land ecology and the history of mesquite trees. Resource Conservation is a special focus on GFWC, and TFWC President Dorothy Roberts has chosen “Conservation of Natural Resources” as her special project.
Financial help for Ebony’s Conservation Program set for March 25, 2011 was again discussed and the club voted to donate $50.00 to help with lunch expenses.
The club also voted to make a $25.00 donation to the Western District Alma Van Sickle Scholarship of TFWC in memory of Juracy Ray, MSC President 2006-2007.
President lee asked for suggestions for our annual Christmas Party to be hosted by Joyce Morton. A motion was made by Margie Williamson that we continue the Heifer Project and that each member donate $10.00. The motion was seconded and vote was affirmative. It was also suggested that each member bring a “White Elephant Gift” to be exchanged. The Social Committee to contact members regarding food, entertainment, etc.
Roll call was answered by naming one’s favorite Christmas carol.
Hostesses Paula Fuller, Pearl Gustafson and Margie Williamson served delicious refreshments to club members and one guest, Alycia Sears.

Recent release profiles former county resident
A former Reeves County resident has been profiled in a posthumous book from a fellow Vietnam veteran who died in 1995.
“Leaving Brogado”, by Marshall Harrison, documents the life of Beauford T. Adams, one of the most decorated enlisted men who served in the Vietnam War. Adams’ name is well known in national, political, and financial circles. In this book, which was published in October, the author probes into this remarkable man’s life and presents a manuscript based on a series of interviews with Adams.
For the first time, Adams, reputed to be the power behind several national candidates and sitting representatives, speaks on his youth, primarily on events leading to his enlistment in the United States Marine Corps and his subsequent combat tour in Vietnam. Through vivid narration, readers will be taken to the battlefields of Vietnam and witness what it was like for “a poor boy to go to a poor boy’s war”.
“Not that it differed greatly from the story of many war veterans, but the profound effect of the war on one of Mr. Adams’s stature could have been representative of all combat veterans of all times,” Harrison stated in his notes to the book. “I found myself alternatively moved, delighted, and repelled while making notes during the interviews.”
Harrison was a retired Air Force officer who had been a public school teacher, commercial pilot, and successful writer. He had three books published by Presidio Press. One was autobiographical, A LONELY KIND OF WAR, Forward Air Controller, Vietnam. The others were novels, CADILLAC FLIGHT and THE DELTA. All have the Vietnam conflict as a recurring theme. He had also been published extensively in regional newspapers.
His service awards include the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross with 1 Oak Leaf Cluster (OLC), the Air Medal with 20 OLCs, Joint Service Commendation Medal with 1 OLC, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with two Silver Stars and Palm, the Vietnamese Medal of Honor, and the Presidential Unit Citation for MACVSOG service. Harrison received a Masters of Education degree from Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX. In 1989, he was an original member of the Vietnam Center Advisory Board at Texas Tech. He served as secretary of that Board until his death.
Leaving Brogado blends action and drama, humor and wit, into one gripping book. It virtually takes readers into one man’s corner of the world in 1967 and ’68. For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to www.Xlibris.com.
City seeking grants for new fire equipment
Town of Pecos City Council members agreed to seek two grants for the Pecos Volunteer Fire Department, and supported a resolution to grant Balmorhea EMS another one-year waiver in 2011, during their regular meeting on Dec. 9 at City Hall.
The council agreed to request from fire chief Freddy Contreras to seek grants from the Texas Forest Service and from Metro Fire Apparatus. He said the TFS grant would go towards the purchase of a wildland vehicle/brush truck.
“It’s a grant you can apply for on every cycle,” he told the council. “We received one grant 5-6 years ago, so we couldn’t apply for another. But now it’s a new cycle, since all the departments in Texas have gotten a grant.”
He said the only requirement if the department does get the grant is, “The brush truck has to be made available to the Texas Forest Service in a fire emergency.”
Contreras said on the Metro grant, “There are seven (apparatus) packages they are giving away, totaling $119,795. You just go online and submit your name.” He said the local department would be competing against other departments for one of the apparatus packages.
Councilman Cody West also asked Contreras about the status of the repairs to the Cedar Street fire hall and was told the roof was still in bad shape, and it would cost between $15,000 and $20,000 for the city to make repairs. He said money is available in the department’s truck fund.
“Out of $180,000 we can get the money needed to repair the roof, and then whatever’s left can go into the truck,” he said. City public works director Edgardo Madrid said plans right now call for the roof repairs to start in January.
Contreras added that along with the building problems the department is also in need to new truck purchases in the near future.
“I just think as far as city departments go the fire department is at the bottom of the totem pole, as far as the age of equipment and the quality of the equipment,” West said. “Sooner or later if we don’t start of try and replace our trucks one at a time, we’re going to be in really bad shape.”
“I’d encourage the city to look at a USDA grant. I know they built fire halls in Presidio and Marfa,” councilman Joe Keese said. Contreras said the city could also look at adding space onto the fire department’s Eddy Street substation.
The Balmorhea EMS waiver request to the state EMS licensing board would permit the service to continue to cover the southern part of Reeves County without the required two certified EMTs on any ambulance run. Balmorhea has operated with a waiver for the past four years, and the two cities, along with Reeves County and Reeves County Hospital District, are studying a plan to consolidate the Pecos and Balmorhea EMS operations under the control of the hospital district.
The council also voted to join a coalition of cities opposing a proposed rate increase by Texas-New Mexico Power Co., approved adjustments in the city’s budget, and approved the purchase of a “lowboy” trailer to carry the city’s bulldozer to locations as part of the pending housing demolition program. The used trailer is expected to cost in the range of $15,000 to $20,000.
