Chief JPO leaving position for Bowie County

After serving for almost 9 years as the Chief Juvenile Probation Officer for the 110th Judicial District, Bruce Ballou has resigned to take a position as Chief JPO for Bowie County (Texarkana).

The Juvenile Justice System in Floyd County has seen a lot of changes under Ballou's guidance.

When Ballou first came to Floyd County all juvenile offenders were sent off to Texas Youth Center in Lubbock for incarceration. Along with those transfers went County funds for paying to house the offenders.

Now Floyd County, as well as the other counties in the 110th Judicial, benefit from the Parent Adolescent Center (PAC), which houses juvenile offenders.

The creation of PAC is just one of the accomplishments of Ballou. He also contributed to the initiation of the STAND substance abuse prevention/intervention program, and the Vocational Instruction Program. He was also instrumental in helping implement the Family Connections Wraparound Program and the Lockney Activity Center.

His innovative approach to Juvenile Justice has made his program a model for the state, with frequent recognition from the Texas Juvenile Justice Probation Commission.

"PAC has generated a lot of revenue for the 110th Judicial District," said Ballou. "This year we will generate about $480,000. It has come from grants, contracting with counties to house juvenile offenders, revenue from the VIP (automotive shop), donations from civic organizations in the community, and individuals."

According to Ballou, PAC (which has 28 beds) is full.

"The community and judges have been very supportive of our endeavors," said Ballou. "None of this would have been possible without their support. Floydada also has an excellent police department and they have been instrumental in developing this program. I am very grateful to be part of this community."

In Bowie County, Ballou will take on the responsibility of a 110 bed detention center.

"We will also be developing some of the same services there," said Ballou. "We will build a non-secure resident facility (similar to PAC) and set up vocational training, as well as mental health and education programs."

Bruce's wife, Judy, is a special education resource teacher in Floydada and will continue in that line of work in Texarkana.

Reba L Moore, who has been with the Juvenile Probation Department for the past five years, has been appointed by the Juvenile Board to assume the role of Chief Juvenile Probation Officer. For the past two years Moore has served as the Assistant Chief.

"I think Reba will do a good job," said Ballou. "She is prepared to maintain the juvenile justice service as it is currently. We don't anticipate any change in philosophy or services of juvenile offenders."

The community is invited to join in a farewell get-together for Bruce and Judy, at PAC on Sunday, May 25, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.


Brown is Fireman of the Year

Gary Brown

Gary Brown, a 15 year veteran of the Floydada Fire Department has been selected Fireman of the Year for 2002-2003 by the Panhandle Fireman and Firemarshall's Association of Texas. The honor was awarded to Gary at the PFFMA 112th convention held in Amarillo, May 16th and 17th.

The award is based on a fireman's involvement in their department, their community, the Panhandle Fireman and Firemarshall's Association and the State Fireman and Firemarshall's Association. Brown was nominated for the award after being selected the Floydada Fire Department Fireman of the Year.

Brown's name will be submitted for the state Fireman of the Year Award.

"Gary works hard to help make improvements to and in our department," said Floydada Fire Chief Carroll Sims.

"His knowledge and understanding of wise spending, smart borrowing and his unequivocal bartering ability has allowed our department to establish a solid bank account, add needed personal equipment, expand and improve our trucks and add programs that help our volunteers in a personal way."

According to Brown the 12 hour fire at the First Baptist Church and the multi-day grass fires are the fires that have taught him the most about managing fire fighting.

Besides his long list of accomplishments as City Manager, Brown has received the Floydada Citizen of the Year Award in 1987, and Extra Mile Award in 1994. He has also received the 4-H Silver Spur Award.

He has led in establishing a scholarship fund for children of local firemen, and led in establishing a medical assistance fund for Floydada firemen.

He has been married to Charlene for 36 year. They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.

Letters to the Editor

 

Dear Editor,

What a beautiful story on Floydada Rehab and Care Center. How special the residents must feel.

My late mother, Elsie Pate of Lockney, was in a nursing home here in Lubbock prior to her death. How very much happier she would have been in these lovely surroundings

The ones responsible are to be praised for this outstanding decision, to fill these wonderful peoples lives with a hospitable environment rather than a hospital one.

Hopefully, other nursing homes and care centers will adopt this program.

Cordially,

Jody Pate Cooley

By The Way

by Alice Gilroy

Beth Faulkenberry hung on long enough to see her grandson, Brady Rainwater, win the State meet in the 800 meter run.

The picture of her and Brady in last week's paper will be a memory I will always cherish of her. She went through a lot to get ready for that picture and to get all "prettied up" so I could take it.

She never complained about the pain she was in. It was one more memory she wanted to leave behind for a grandchild.

She passed away Sunday and the community lost a beautiful, gracious, and brave woman. Heaven gained a blessing.

My own grandmother (my mom's mother) also passed away this weekend. I have so many wonderful memories of my grandmother.

She could play anything on the piano--by ear. She had the old large upright piano with the old yellow keys that had kind of the old-out-of tune sound. Well ,they sounded out of tune when all the kids banged on it--but my grandmother could make it come alive.

All the kids would gather in a big airy back room of the old farmhouse and we would dance and dance to grandma's songs. She never tired of playing for us. She was our most steadfast and loyal fan--always sticking up for us and doting on us.

She has been in a nursing home for many years and has not been herself for a long time.

I'm so glad she is now in Heaven.

How do people make it through death of a loved one without the assurance of Heaven and of our loving and forgiving heavenly Father?

How can they live with doubt and wondering where their loved one is?

How miserable it would be to not know that Jesus really did go to Heaven to prepare a mansion for us--just like He said.

How sad it would be for the Faulkenberry family, and for mine, to think that our grandmother (mother and wife) was still suffering instead of knowing that she was rejoicing--singing--laughing--no pain--no sorrow--no tears.

Thank-you Jesus for your promises.

A View From The Lamplighter

by Ken Towery

We have an idea that you, gentle reader, as a taxpayer and citizen of our Republic, may wish to pass along to your State Representative, or your State Senator (whose salary you pay, whose lucrative retirement you pay for, and whose perks of office you also provide), in order that they might get an idea of the importance you attach to duty and responsibility.

For ourselves, we will not comment extensively, other than to say I personally am glad that none of our departed Democrats were manning the guns on Corregidor, or anchoring any battle lines on Bataan. Even had we known that there existed a Holiday Inn in Ardmore, Oklahoma, I doubt many men would have thought of abandoning our post and hiding out there, simply because we couldn't get our way.

Our idea is rather simple, but it is one on which our citizens would have to vote. It would be a Constitutional Amendment, to be voted on in November at the same time we are electing those people who are pledged to represent us in Austin, come hell or high water, but who sometimes choose to abandon their post when the going gets tough.

Here's our wording. You may wish to change the words to fit your own ideas, but it would be helpful if you let your elected representatives know how you feel about duty and responsibility.

"The Constitution of the State of Texas is hereby amended to provide that any member of either the Texas House of Representatives, or the Senate of the State of Texas, who absents himself, or herself, from the obligations of voting on any proposed legislation for a period in excess of two days, without express consent from the presiding officer of either body, shall be deemed to have forfeited and vacated his office, and the Governor of Texas is hereby authorized to call a special election to fill such vacancy."

Wouldn't that be a hoot? No work, no pay. No work, no office. No guts, no glory.

Citizens of this state have just witnessed a sorry spectacle in which a number of Democrats headed for a Holliday Inn in Ardmore, Oklahoma, in the process preventing a quorum from being present to vote, and also preventing passage of a number of bills they did not like. In the process, also, a great deal of lying took place. The official line was that the absent Democratic heroes were merely preventing passage of some bad legislation, legislation that trimmed a little fat from state government, but in doing so irritated any number of Democratic constituents. Another official line is that a redistricting bill was about to be brought up that would make the Congressional delegation that Texans send to Washington more closely reflect the voting patterns of Texas. As a for instance, the state has repeatedly voted Republican in national elections, much to the chagrin of this state's major newspapers, but Democrats still maintain a majority of the state's Congressional seats. Some Republicans have the temerity to think this is unfair, and that adjustments ought to be made that would cause the Congressional delegation to more closely reflect the will of the people. Obviously, some of the state's elected Democratic officeholders do not agree.

One of those who skipped town, and skipped the obligation of representing his constituents, was our own Pete Laney, who served as Speaker of the House for some six terms before being replaced by the current Speaker, Tom Craddick. Some three weeks ago, or longer, we sent Pete an e-mail, asking his views on school financing, his committee assignments (he was placed on the Agriculture Committee, and on the Transportation Committee). He did not answer, so we called his office. His secretary said he had the e-mail, but had been exceedingly busy, etc., and besides, he wanted to talk about it over the phone, rather than use the e-mail. Fine, no problem. Call when it is convenient. Still, no call. Terribly busy. We understand. Then, he gets in his twin-engine turboprop and takes off for Ardmore where he spends and spends a few days at the Holliday Inn. The pending legislation, and even some that wasn't pending, was just so bad that flight was called for.

Like we say: We're happy we didn't have these guys representing us on Corregidor, or on Bataan, or in Italy, or at Normandy, or, come to think of it, just about anywhere where the going got tough.

So, we think a Constitutional Amendment along the lines noted above is a good idea. We hope it is passed speedily. And while the House and Senate are passing the Constitutional Amendment, they can also figure out (and report to us) which lobbyists paid for the fling in Ardmore.
