BY MINDI KIMBRO EDITOR@OLNEYENTERPRISE.COM Vehicles traveling on Country Club Road could soon be slowed by speed bumps thanks to an idea brought forth at the Olney City Council meeting on Monday, April 13. Mayor Phil Jeske II said he had been approached several times by residents on Country Club Road re- garding speeding vehicles that create safety concerns, and one of those residents, Danny ShifÁett, was in at- tendance Monday night. “It is bad,” ShifÁett said. “I make a conscious effort to keep my grandkids in the backyard. It’s going to come to the point where some kid is going to get hurt.” ShifÁett said it is not un- usual for vehicles to speed by homes at 45 mph or more, and that there have been several bad accidents on Country Club Road near a second property he owns. He said he also worries about the usual summer trafÀc increase, when more teens drive on the road and when adults also go to the Olney Country Club to play golf and possibly have drinks before they leave. Jeske said many different methods of slowing trafÀc have been attempted over the years, including numer- ous signs which no longer exist. “I’ve talked to the chief and he’s gone out there before, but we don’t have enough ofÀcers (to patrol regularly),” Jeske said, noting that the fast trafÀc comes off of both Hwy. 79 and Hwy. 251. OPD Chief Barry Roberts said his research has shown him that the “presump- tive” speed on Country Club Road, since there are no signs to the contrary, is likely 60 mph according to state law. He also expressed his interest in speaking to Pct. 3 Commissioner Stacey Rogers about having signs installed on the county’s portion of the road. He suggested the addition of rumble strips or speed bumps to help force trafÀc to travel the road at a slow- er pace. Tom Parker asked if rum- ble strips would be an eco- nomical option; however, later he and other council members agreed that speed bumps would be both less expensive and more effec- tive at slowing trafÀc.

and the issues and admin-istration of that,” he added. “But other than that I’m for a couple of speed bumps, as long as they’re reasonable.”

City Attorney Bill Myers said an ordinance allowing for the installation of speed bumps would have to be passed at the next meeting.

BUMPS: Speed bumps may slow traffi c on local roadContinued from Page 1 City Administrator Danny

Parker noted that he would put together an ordinance calling for the placement of at least two speed bumps on Country Club Road.

In other business:• Council members ap-

proved the simple re-plat of lots 8 and 9 block A in Fair-way Addition into a single lot. They also approved the

simple re-plat of lots 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the East 70 of Lot 12, Block B of Woodland Es-tates into one single lot.

• A resolution was ap-proved to authorize the city administrator to enter an agreement with TxDOT to allow for construction of gateway monuments with-in the right-of-way at the edge of town. The monu-

ments will be paid for and maintained by Keep Olney Beautiful, but TxDOT re-quires that the agreement for placement be made with a municipality.

Those present at the meet-ing were Jeske, Bailey, Tom Parker, Tommy Kimbro and Chris Garcia. The next regu-lar meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, April 27.

“We sat through the whole hearing,” Stacey said Tues-day morning in a phone call from Washington, D.C. “The judge was overwhelmed by how many people showed up.”

Heard said at least 100 Ra-ven 23 supporters were in at-tendance, requiring the hear-ing to be moved to a different courtroom to accommodate everyone. The Heards also believe the presence of such a large crowd had an effect on the sentences handed down.

“He (the judge) actually broke down on the bench,” Stacey said. “But govern-ment guidelines left no choice in the sentences. It could have been worse.”

Heard, Slough and Lib-erty received sentences of

HEARD: Ex-Blackwater guards get prison sentencesContinued from Page 1 30 years and one day apiece,

the minimum possible sen-tence allowed by the weap-ons charges they faced. Slat-ten received a mandatory life sentence.

In another unusual as-pect of the hearing, Stacey said some of the jurors who helped nd the men guilty were in attendance for the sentencing.

“We actually had two jury members show up,” Stacey said. “One talked to us. She was there to listen to the sen-tences.”

He added that the juror expressed concern that they might not have made the right decision.

As far as the Heards, Raven 23 supporters and the four former guards’ defensive teams are concerned, the sentencing should not have happened.

Defense attorneys for the men led a motion Friday, April 3, to delay sentencing in light of new information they had received. The legal

team, according to an ABC News story, alleged that one of the key witnesses for the prosecution, an Iraqi police-man who had been in Nisour Square during the incident, had submitted a victim im-pact statement that contra-dicted his original testimony.

“You most de nitely can tell the U.S. government built this case on nothing but lies,” Stacey said. “The whole outcome of the trial might have been different.”

In the original testimony, ABC News reported that the policeman stated he had seen the barrels of ri es sticking out of the Blackwa-ter convoy vehicles and that the rst shots had come from the trucks.

The policeman also said originally that he had seen the driver of the white Kia shot and “mortally wound-ed” and had gone to the aid of the female passenger.

In his victim impact state-ment, however, the same man reportedly said he had

stayed in his police booth, unable to move or act in any way, and that the driver of the Kia had been attempting to get out of the vehicle.

Prosecutors argued the differences between the testimony and victim state-ment came as the man tried to imagine himself in the place of other victims of the incident, and that some of its meaning had been lost in translation to English from Arabic.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that the sen-tencing would continue as scheduled and later handed down the sentences.

While Stacey said he, La-wana and the dozens of Ra-ven 23 supporters there were disappointed by the sentenc-es, they expected them and are now ready to enter the next phase. Stacey noted that appeals must be led within 14 days.“We’re biding our time,” Stacey said. “We’ll nd out more details with

them as we go.”

he said, clarifying that the re-cent rumors have come from excerpts of his testimony be-fore Congress that have been printed in the media recently. “It is very political because we’re trying to get the U.S. Congress to take action.”

While there is no way to know what the U.S. govern-ment will do before June 30,

Ickert stressed several times that layoffs at Air Tractor are not in the plan at this time. In fact, he said there would be much work to be done be-fore layoffs were undertaken even if the Ex-Im Bank is not reauthorized by the June deadline.

“If it happened, we’d look and see if there was another way to replace Ex-Im Bank,” Ickert said.

As of now no alternative has been found, but Ickert said he and other Air Tractor of cials are working hard to search for alternatives should the worst-case scenario come true. He reiterated that there would be many scenarios to try prior to layoffs.

“In all businesses there are times uncertainties pop up,” he said “This is an uncer-tainty that could affect us in some way. It affects Boeing, General Electric, Caterpillar...it’s a big ght that affects a lot of companies.”

RUMOR: Business planning no layoffsContinued from Page 1

prove the equipment if not for an offer last year from Ec-tor County to purchase 177 pieces of Young County’s current election equipment for $175,000, effectively tak-ing Young County’s nan-cial burden for the Verity equipment to $160,000 from $335,000.

Sullivan said Hart will send a representative to Young County to run a customer service check during early voting dates for the May elec-tions, which include races for spots on the Graham Region-al Medical Center board, the Graham Independent School District, the City of Graham and the City of Olney.

The November election is also of concern, and Sullivan said that it would cost Young County $26,000 to rent the machines necessary for that election. She said Hart could make that deal through a 30-day lease and then take the equipment back.

Bullock reminded the court that though Hart estimated a March 2015 certi cation date for the equipment, Young County added a stipulation with Ector County that it could not release its current equipment because Hart could not provide a de nite date for delivery of and train-ing for the Verity line.

ObituariesCarl Gene Davis was born

on July 17, 1959, in Olney, Texas, to Elvis Carl Davis and Merita Faye (Kellar) Davis.

Carl left this world on April 11, 2015, to be with his loving family in his heavenly home.

Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on Wednes-day, April 15, 2015, at the chapel of Lunn Funeral Home with Dan Hooper and Scotte Clark of ciat-ing.

Burial followed at Mega-rgel Cemetery in Megar-gel, Texas. Arrangements were under the direction of Lunn Funeral Home of Olney.

Carl’s father and moth-er moved their family to Coos Bay, Ore., where Carl grew up to be a man. He worked in the sawmill in Oregon.

He loved Oregon and loved to ride his four wheeler over the beautiful sand dunes.

Carl and his wife, Rhon-da, tried their best to live their lives spending time with their family, so they traveled many miles from their Texas home to their Oregon home.

They would spend time with their children and grandchildren in Texas and load up the trailer and their four wheelers and make the long trip to their RV home in Oregon to spend time with their children and grandchil-dren there.

They would head to those sand dunes and ride for hours, lling their hearts with joy.

Carl was preceded in death by his mother, Mer-ita Faye Davis, on June 16, 2006; sister, Celia Ann Da-vis on Sept. 6, 1971; step-children, Lajuana Gayle Kellar on Nov. 7, 1981, and William Carl Kellar on April 5, 2014.

Carl is survived by his loving wife, Rhonda Mi-chelle Davis of Megargel, Texas; daughters, Carla Mae Woodward and hus-band Matt of Pleasant Hill, Ore., and Jeni Sue Davis and her compan-ion, Thomas Bowman, of Lafayette, Ore.; son, Carl Dean Davis and compan-ion Jeanette of Tuscan, Calif.; grandchildren: Aus-tin and Dylon Woodward and Shayla Davis; step-children: Michelle Johnson

Funeral services for Linda Sue Dodd, age 66, of Early were held at 3 p.m. Tues-day at the Early Church of Christ. Burial followed in Eastlawn Memorial Park under the direction of Heartland Funeral Home. Visitation was held at the funeral home on Monday evening from 6-8 p.m.

Linda passed from this life on Saturday, April 11, 2015, in Brownwood.

Linda Sue McCauley was born on Feb. 25, 1949, in Seymour to Joe Frank and Mary Mildred (Brown) Mc-Cauley. She graduated from Olney High School in 1967. Linda married Bennie Dodd on June 24, 1967, in Olney.

Linda worked as a secre-tary for the Early Church of Christ for a number of years before joining the Early In-dependent School District as instructional aide. She worked for EISD for 24 years before retirement.

Linda was a longtime member of the Early Church of Christ where she taught Sunday School, volunteered with the Helping Hands ministry and taught in the Tuesday School preschool program. Linda could be counted on for an encourag-ing word and helping where there was a need.

Linda is survived by her husband of 47 years, Ben-nie, of Early; a son, Cully Dodd and wife, DeeAnna,

Carl Gene Davis

Visitation was held on

Tuesday, April 14, 2015, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Lunn Funeral Home in Olney.

Imagine you notice a man rushing out of his house ripping his clothes off in a rage, screaming violently, after smoking a crys-tal-like drug. It takes ve of cers to take him down because he has superhuman strength. He is sweating, paranoid, delu-sional and hallucinating about seeing ob-jects in front of him.

This happened in real life in Miami last month. The man was high on a new de-signer drug called “Flakka.” This behavior is known as “excited delirium” and it is the result of emerging use of a new synthetic amphetamine-like stimulate that is similar to the compound contained in bath salts, also known as cathinones.

The use of Flakka has run from Florida to Ohio and is making its way westward. The appeal of the drug derives from the fact that it hasn’t been of cially banned yet, as have other types of bath salts containing the drug MDPV, a commonly abused cathi-none.

Drug suppliers are always a step ahead, making new versions of previously banned

drugs. Flakka, which comes in crystalline rock form, can be swallowed, snorted, in-jected or used in an e-cigarette and vaped. The duration of the effects of the drug can last as few as three to four hours, but can linger for several days. The drug is highly addictive, both from a physical as well as a psychological perspective.

Because of the ability to place it into a car-tridge and vape it, the drug can easily be concealed in public, allowing many to use it without raising any suspicions. Flakka is synthetically derived from cathinone that come from the khat plant, which is grown in parts of the Middle East as well as Soma-lia. The leaves of this plant is often chewed to achieve a euphoric high.

Please watch your loved ones closely and monitor their activity. Drugs in any form destroys lives and families. Say “no” to drugs and keep positive peer pressure on your friends to stay away from drug activ-ity.

Your Olney Police Department is here to help you.

Beware of a new designer drug

“Let me give you some advice.” How often have we heard that? We sometimes ask the opinions of friends or experts, but I know that unsolicited advice is not something people appreciate much.

Which is why it is sometimes said that free advice is worth about as much as you pay for it. Or put another way: “Plain ad-vice is free. The right answer will cost plenty.”

Personally, I don’t like advice unless I think I need it. And I’m careful about giv-ing it, too. I know I’m not alone in this. American president Harry Truman once said, “I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to nd out what they want and then advise them to do it.” At least that way your recommendation is followed.

One boy wrote in an essay on the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates: “Socrates was a man who went around town giv-ing his advice and opinions, so...they poi-soned him!”

What this student lacks in historical ac-curacy he more than makes up for in his sense about how well most unsolicited advice is received.

The problem is...what works well for one person may not t someone else. Take the wisdom offered by American baseball player Leroy “Satchel” Paige. His rules on living might have been all right for him, but they don’t suit most of us. Here is his counsel. Take it or leave it.

“Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood.

If your stomach disputes you, lie down

and pacify it with cool thoughts.Keep the juices owing by jangling

around gently as you move.Go very lightly on vices such as carry-

ing on in society. The social ramble ain’t restful.

Avoid running at all times.Don’t look back. Something may be

gaining on you.” Don’t hear me say that all advice should

be discarded. Not at all. Nor should we overlook wisdom from unlikely sources. Like the “uneducated.” Or those from a bygone era.

I have a faded letter clipped from a newspaper many years ago.

The author published some counsel giv-en him by his grandmother who had died some 60 years prior, and who had never attended school. She offered it printed on a slip of paper, accompanied by the words, “All the advice you’ll ever need to have a good life.”

I nd it worth remembering. This is what she wrote:

“Wash what is dirty. Water what is dry.

Heal what is wounded. Warm what is cold.

Guide what goes off the road. Love people who are least lovable, be-

cause they need it most.” * There is a lot of wisdom packed in those

few words. And she said it best: “All the advice you’ll ever need to have a good life.”

*(adapted from Archbishop Stephen Langton d. 1228)

All the advice you’ll ever need

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is “I just don’t have time.”

This is usually said in response to a request from someone (relative or stranger) or a di-rective given to us by another person. In all honesty and with few exceptions, it’s also a total lie.

A few weeks ago, I was at home on Face-book and came across a question on an Olney-centered page regarding an incident that happened in town. It was something that had been put in the paper for several weeks prior to the event actually happen-ing, and a commenter on the Facebook post mentioned that it had been published previ-

ously.The person who asked about the event re-

sponded with “I don’t have time to read the paper.”

That comment ew all over me. I was an-gry. “How could anyone not have TIME to care about what’s going on in their com-munity?” I thought. “Have we devolved as a society so much that if information isn’t spoon-fed to us we can’t even acknowledge that it’s out there somewhere?”

I ranted to my husband. I ranted to my co-workers. I ranted to anyone who would listen actually. It stayed on my mind until I found myself giving the same reasoning to

someone about something else.Oops.Looking back at recent weeks, I remember

myself saying “I don’t have time” to many things when, in reality, I probably spent enough time playing Words with Friends or Candy Crush in the mornings, evenings and on weekends to do quite a number of more constructive things for myself and others.

There’s always time. Maybe not hours, days, weeks or months, but there’s time to spend checking the news, helping a neigh-bor, going for a walk, spending time with

family or cooking a healthy meal. “I don’t have time” is a pervasive lie that

we all tell ourselves to cover the truth – that we just don’t have enough desire to do what we’re being asked to do.

Unfortunately it’s also a lie that most of us will continue telling ourselves daily in some way, shape or form.

In the future, I’m hoping I can nd more creative ways to say no, if needed, than by telling life’s biggest lie and, more than any-thing, to do more of those things that “I just don’t have TIME” to do.

One of life’s biggest lies

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, leasing and fi nancing of housing. The law also prohibits discriminatory advertising on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, mental or physical handicap or marital status. The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to

real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference. It is the intent and goal of The Olney Enterprise for each advertiser who wishes to place an advertisement in The Enterprise to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. Any advertisement which is perceived to contain language contrary to the act will be rejected or changed to remove the offending reference(s). There may be situations where it is not clear whether particular language is objectionable. Such advertisements should be referred to the publisher for consideration and determination. Under certain circumstances, advertisers may claim that because of the nature of the housing being advertised, they are not subject to Fair Housing laws. Such claims are irrelevant for the purpose of considering advertisements for publication in The Olney Enterprise. Every housing advertisement published in The Olney Enterprise is subject to all provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
