Stapp Recovering From Brown Recluse Bite
By Alice Gilroy Andy Stapp, of Lockney, has recently found out just how much pain the bite of a Brown Recluse spider can inflict. Still recovering from the bite, Stapp is now facing possible surgery to remove rotting skin. Stapp says he was bitten on the back of his leg July 1st, and he believes the bite occurred in a storage shed. "I never felt the bite," said Stapp. "You don't feel anything when bitten. There is no sting." Stapp first noticed a small red bump. Within 48 hours the small bump was the size of a "dinner plate". "The bite also started developing a hole in the center and swelling up real big." Stapp says by day 4 there was a place the size of a 50 cent piece where the "skin was rotted out". "It got deep enough for me to stick my entire finger in it." said Stapp. "I also had fever and the shakes for about four nights. The initial bite doesn't hurt but it sure hurts afterwards." Stapp is being treated now with antibiotics and says the red area has decreased to approximately 4 inches by 4 inches. "But the rotted center hasn't gone away." Stapp said he will probably be faced with the decision to cut out the center and then sew the skin back together. "Sometimes the skin grows back together after the surgery and sometimes it just rots back out," said Stapp. "This whole process has been pretty strange and fascinating. People have been very interested in watching what the bite is doing to my skin--I think I've been a type of science experiment." Adult Brown Recluse spiders are yellowish-tan to dark brown. The most distinguishing mark on a Brown Recluse is the presence of a dark brown or black violin or fiddle on its back with the violin's "neck" pointing toward the rear of its body. For this reason they are sometimes called "violin spiders" or "fiddleback spiders". However, the presence of a violin mark is not conclusive evidence of a Brown Recluse. There are other species of spiders which have markings that resemble violins. The Brown Recluse does not have any markings on its abdomen. If you see a spider that has markings on its tail end, it cannot be a Brown Recluse. The spider has 6 eyes in 3 pairs arranged in a semi-circle in front of the violin. This is uncommon since most spiders have 8 eyes. Brown Recluse are usually 1 inch or larger in size, including the legs. They can grow as large as almost 3 inches. Brown Recluse feed on cockroaches and other insects. The do not spin webs to catch prey but instead hunt at night for their prey or wait until an insect comes in close proximity to them. During the day the spiders spend their time in quiet, undisturbed places. If they are seen in the open during the day, it is usually because something has disturbed them or they are trapped within a smooth surface such as a sink or bathtub. Because they are nocturnal, they will begin to stray from their hiding place about an hour or two after dark to hunt for food. Recluse will lunge and bite their prey in a vulnerable area and immediately back away while the venom acts to quickly paralyze the prey. The same venom that acts to liquefy an insect's innards for consumption also causes the "flesh rotting" appearances on human skin. Relatively few spiders are able to pierce the human skin, but the Brown Recluse is one of them. Brown Recluse spiders generally bite when trapped between the skin and another surface such as bed sheets. The spiders are very resilient and can survive 6 to 12 months with no food or water and have an average life span of 2 to 4 years. In laboratory conditions they have lived as long as 7 years. The spiders are usually found indoors, in bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, garages, basements, and cellars. In homes with force hot air heating and air conditioning and above ceiling duct work, Brown Recluse can be found harboring in or around the duct work. The spiders are found outside in storage houses, sheltered corners around debris, wood piles and under loose bark and stones. The spiders like dark recesses and undisturbed areas. They are found in stored clothing, old shoes, toys, books, boxes, furniture, stored linens and undisturbed towels. If you have Brown Recluse in the area it is wise to shake out clothing and shoes before dressing. Don't garden, handle firewood, pine straw, etc., without gloves. Don't go barefoot, and eliminate as much clutter as possible in storage areas. Frequently dust and vacuum around windows, corners of rooms, and under furniture.

BROWN RECLUSE BITE ON STAPP'S LEG (within 48 hours)
Commissioners Propose Tax Increase By Darwin Robinson The Floyd County Commissioners met in regular session Monday, July 12, and unanimously voted to propose a raise in taxes in order to fund their proposed 2004-2005 budget. The commissioners proposed a tax increase from the present rate of $.41951 per $100 property valuation to a proposed rate of $.45300. A Public Hearing on the proposed tax increase is scheduled for 10:00 A.M., August 9th, at the commissioners' next regular meeting at the court house. In a related matter, and with a split vote, the court gave a three percent raise to all county employees, with the exception of the commissioners themselves and the sheriff. According to Floyd County Judge William D. Hardin, the sheriff had recently received a $2,000 raise. Commissioners Ray Nell Bearden, Jon Jones and Lennie Gilroy voted for the raises, while Commissioner Craig Gilly voted against it. Gilly wanted to give the county employees a 5 percent raise instead of the three percent. In the proposed new budget, the commissioners will receive a $50 increase in their monthly travel expenses. In other matters, the commissioners authorized Judge Hardin to sign a Notice of Subrecipient Agreement which relates to a state Homeland Security grant amounting to $5,000. The grant money will be used to buy new homeland security equipment. A resolution with South Plains Hazard Mitigation Action Plan was approved by the court. According to Judge Hardin, this is a regional emergency plan by SPAG starting on November 1, 2004. The commissioners approved a petition by Melvin and Janet Lloyd for a five year tax abatement on an assisted living center to be constructed on the west side of the Ralls highway just at the south City limits. According to Judge Hardin, the tax abatement will be 100 percent for 2005 and 2006, 75 percent for 2007, 50 percent for 2008, and 25 percent for 2009. Taxes on the property will continue as usual. Following discussion on the paper work to be involved by the county, the commissioners finally unanimously approved a motion, made by Commissioner Gilly and seconded by Commissioner Jones, to request the county's portion of an undetermined amount of the state's unclaimed money that is available. According to strict Texas Local Government Code, the undetermined amount of money can only be used "to stimulate small or disadvantaged businesses in the county and/or minority and women's businesses." According to Judge Hardin, "The individual counties will develop and administer this program. I am not sure how much time and paper work this will involve." Two farm contracts were approved by the court. They were: Pct. 4, 3/4 mile on CR 244 east of Floydada, to bury old improvements, by Oralia G. Martinez; and Pct. 3, Blk 21, D-1, to fill washes, by Baker Farms. Election Judges and Alternate Election Judges were appointed and approved by the commissioners beginning August 1, 2004 and ending July 31, 2005. They were: Pct. 1, Judge Bob Alldredge, Alternate Judge Roger Poage; Pct. 5, Judge Priscilla Ramos, Alternate Judge Dina Molina; Pct. 7, Judge Mary Turner, Alternate Judge Wynona Quebe; Pct. 9, Judge Carolyn Marble, Alternate Judge Mamie Wood; Pct. 16, Judge Martha Williams, Alternate Judge Tonya Evans; Pct. 17, Judge Johnnie Pigg, Alternate Judge Barbara Payne; Pct. 18, Judge Lynda Gant, Alternate Judge Inez Mosley; Pct. 20, Judge Terry Cannon, Alternate Judge Billy D. Colston; Pct. 23, Judge A.C. Pratt, Alternate Judge Petra Gonzalez; and Pct. 24, Judge Ralph Jackson, Alternate Judge Vance Miller; Early Voting Ballot Board, Judge Larry Ogden and Alternate Judge Jon LaBlaume. The court transferred $36,000 from the Bridge and Road Fund into the four individual precincts' work funds at $9,000 each. Floyd
County Treasurer Elva Martinez gave the commissioners the
county's June Financial Report. It showed a Beginning
Balance of $702,167.79 and Receipts of $189,129.06.
Transfers In and Out were $176,705.04, while Disbursed
showed $237,491.31, leaving an Ending Balance of
$653,805.54.
NEW POSTMISTRESS--Dana Gully's first day on the job as the new Postmistress in Floydada was Monday, July 12. Born and raised in Garden City, Texas in Glasscock County, Dana has worked for the Postal Service for 15 years. Her first job was as a carrier in Odessa. "I went to work after our three kids had started school," said Dana. She soon transferred to a bigger office as a clerk in Big Lake. "We raised our family in Big Lake," said Dana. After Big Lake Gully had her first Postmistress job in Barnhart. She then moved to a bigger office in Christoval, then Mertzon, and now Floydada. Her husband, Rick, is a Captain with Texas Parks & Wildlife. He works out of the Regional Office in Lubbock, which requires that Dana live close to the Lubbock Regional Parks & Wildlife Office. "We would like to live here, but his job requires him to be close," said Dana. The Gullys have three children: Andrea, 21, of Ennis; Matthew, 22, of Alameda, CA.; and Jamie, 20, a student at ASU in San Angelo.
By Darwin Robinson The Floydada City Council met in special session, Thursday, July 8 and set in motion the process to annex into the City limits three acres of property on the west side of the south Ralls Highway. Also a proposed .04 cents tax increase on the proposed 2004-2005 budget was discussed by the council. The annexation was requested by Melvin and Janet Lloyd, who plan to build and manage an assisted living facility on this property. City Manager Gary Brown explained to the council the rules and regulations for annexation. Mayor Bob Gilliland set Tuesday, August 10, 7:30 A.M. as the first of two Public Hearings on the annexation process. The second Public Hearing was set for Tuesday, August 17, at 7:30 P.M. Brown said, "This is the first of several steps that must be done before we can annex the property." In other matters, Brown and the council went over the 2004-2005 proposed $700,000 budget. Brown pointed out to the council that this coming year's proposed budget included pay raises for most City employees. "This will be the first overall pay raise in three years," said Brown. "The proposed budget expenses will be near the current budget. There will be some differences, but overall the proposed budget will be very close to this current year's expenses. 'On call' pay will be eliminated as of October 1st," continued Brown. To pay for the continued services for Floydada citizens, Brown has proposed an approximate four percent increase in sewer rates, a $1.00 per month increase in solid waste fees, and a .04 cents increase in the ad valorum tax rate. "This proposed .04 cents tax increase replaces the .04 cents tax decrease the council passed in 1995. I am not asking or suggesting the City tax personal property," said Brown. After
much discussion, it was decided by the council that a
completed proposed budget should be prepared for council
review at the next council's regular meeting, Tuesday, July
20, at 7:30 P.M.
NEW
CHAMBER MANAGER--Iantha Smith has been hired as the new
Floydada Chamber Manager and has brought fresh ideas and
lots of enthusiasm for the job. Born and raised in Floydada,
Iantha moved away 8 years ago to Fort Worth where she worked
as Director of Marketing and Leasing for Retirements. She
also worked in the medical field in Lubbock. Iantha moved
back recently to be close to her parents, Louis and Virginia
Pyle. Iantha says she is excited about coming back to
Floydada and hopes to see more participation in the chamber
by citizens. She wants more businesses to get involved and
also plans on trying to attract students to chamber
involvement. Iantha says she would like to get involved with
the Ag Department and Art Department to build new city
entrances. Upcoming events for the chamber include a
Business Appreciation Lunch August 20 on the square and a
ribbon cutting for a new business next month. The drive to
collect money for new Christmas banners on the square is
also continuing. The hours for the Chamber office are 9-4.
The phone number is 983-3434.
IN NEED OF WHEELCHAIR--Carol Eldridge, age 40, has lived with Cerebral Palsy since birth. In her case, she does have some limited movement in her arms, but none in her legs. "My mind tells my legs to move, but my legs don't hear it," said Carol with a smile. It has also affected her speech and eyesight. Born in Coos Bay, Oregon, she moved to Texas with her family. She has lived at Lockney Health and Rehab Center for the last nine years. In the past, her only mobility came from a specialized wheelchair that would support her head and keep her body in an upright position. That wheelchair has worn out and now Carol is limited to laying in her bed or on the recliner next to her bed. Carol enjoys crocheting, watching Christian TV programs, and listening to Christian music. Her other favorite activities, visiting with her neighbors and participating in the Center's programs, have been curtailed without her wheelchair. The Lockney Family Council is raising money to help her purchase a new wheelchair, since she cannot afford one. You may send donations to: Lockney Family Council, Rt.1 Box 148, Lockney, Texas 79241.

Dear Editor: I was very moved with the article concerning Carol Eldridge. Carol is the one in the nursing home with cerebral palsy. I have had the privilege of knowing Carol for several years. She is one of the neatest Christians I know. Her knowledge amazes me often. If you take the time to listen you will gain a lot. My family has been blessed with the honor of pushing her to church in the summer when the weather is permitting. I know she really enjoys it since she doesn't get out unless family takes her. I know Floyd County to be very generous in many ways. I pray she doesn't have to wait long for her chair. God bless, Debbie Montandon
By The Way | by Alice Gilroy
A View From The Lamplighter | by Ken Towery It has been a long, long, time since we have seen Floyd County in such beautiful shape. We have traveled the County from East to West, from the Petersburg area southwest of Floydada to the farmlands north and east of Lockney, through the country south toward Ralls, and it all looks good. We even drove West through Hale Center, and any time that part of the state looks good, even Sanderson (along the Mexican border) must look good. True, some folks have suffered from hail, but by and large prospects for a good year look very promising at this stage. And it's not just the farms and ranches that look good. We noted new businesses up and running since we were last in town. A new ACE hardware store is now operating on the Ralls highway south of town, along with a new Radio Shack. We knew the new businesses were there, simply because the proprietor had enough sense to let people know, but we hadn't seen the physical facilities. Now we have, and they look good. So, all told, there have been some changes since we went "under the knife", so to speak, but many things remain basically the same, thankfully. Our grandson has sprouted up to where he is now over six feet tall, but he's still our grandson. He's gainfully employed, working for an entomologist, learning what makes the economy of this county tick. In other area developments, the Crosbyton Review finally has a new owner that promises to be around awhile. We wish the folks in Crosbyton the best of luck. They deserve some normalcy in their newspaper world. For many years we owned that paper, finally selling it to Ben and Donna Gillespie back in the 1980's, who operated it until cancer laid them both low. First Donna died, then Ben. In the meantime we had had to take the paper back to keep the operation going. We ultimately sold the property to a retired Texas Tech professor, who stayed around only a little while before walking away and leaving it to his daughter, who in turn walked away, basically giving it to Don Richards, a Lubbock lawyer, (and a former Democratic candidate for Congress), and the Schovajsas, Charles and Chandra. Richards' father used to own weekly publications in the area, primarily in Ralls and Lorenzo, along with coverage of Aspermont and some other town down in the Aspermont area. The publisher, the elder Richards, died, and one of his sons (a brother of the current co-publisher) took over for a short while. Before the son took over, however, the widow wanted to sell the paper. We went over to Ralls to scout the situation, where we were startled to see a framed picture of Republican Senator John Tower adorning the late publishers' office wall, despite the fact that he was not known as a Republican. As a business venture, however, the Ralls paper was a lost cause. Debts abounded and records were nonexistent. We made our excuses and left. The Ralls paper finally died a natural death. So the town of Ralls then had no locally-owned newspaper until the present Ralls owner came in and began a new paper, so now, hopefully, both Ralls and Crosbyton will have their own newspapers. We hope it will work out well, but Crosby County, it seems to us, is relatively small to support two newspapers in a style befitting the needs and desires of people in Crosby County. The folks in both towns deserve good newspapers, but we can't see the advertising base supporting two good newspapers. In the meantime however, the new co-publisher, Don Richards, may find some new friends. Molly Ivins and Dave McNeeley, both thorough-going liberal Democrats and both of whom appear on the Lubbock A-J's op ed page, may now have some philosophical help from the pages of the Crosbyton Review. Don Richards won the Democratic primary in the early 1980's, after Rep. Kent Hance bowed out of Congress. Don Richards beat another Richards , Tom Richards, also a lawyer, in a classic (in those days) conservative-liberal Congressional Democratic Party battle, only to lose overwhelmingly to Republican Larry Combest, making his first race for Congress. Combest stayed in Congress until he voluntarily retired last year.
