OHS Baseball Field will have a new look this spring.
At the Oct. 15 CCCCSD School Board meeting, Super-intendent Raul
Chavarria pre-sented the plans for changes to the field.
The changes include new bleachers that will have a mid-dle
section with individual seats and regular benches on the outside
sitting on a con-crete pad, new dugouts, fenc-ing, backstop, press
box and rerun the electrical wiring.
On hold is a new awning for the seating area.
Cost for the project is esti-mated at $200,000, which will be
split with the county com-missioners. Chavarria spoke to the
commissioners at their Oct. 13 meeting and the com-missioners
approved splitting the cost.

Ozona’s Daniel Lom-braña said his team was given one goal when
the Lions took the field for a District 3-2A Divi-sion I game
Friday night against Christoval — force a turnover.
It didn’t take long for the Lions to achieve that objective.
The 5-foot-8 line-backer stripped the ball out of Hayden
Har-graves’ hands — follow-ing a quick screen pass — before it
bounced into the waiting arms of an Ozona teammate at the
Christoval 34-yard line before the game clock reached the 11-minute
mark in the first quarter.
Lombraña, who also chipped in 26 yards and one touchdown,
sparked the Lions to a 42-22 vic-tory in the Standard-Times Game of

AUSTIN — With early voting in Texas only days away, the U.S.
Supreme Court on Oct. 18 let stand a U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals order, there-by allowing Texas’ 2011 voter identification
law to remain in force for the time being.
Civil rights plaintiffs in Veasey et al. v. Perry et al. sought
to have portions of the law declared unenforceable on
constitutional grounds.
In a Corpus Christi fed-eral courtroom, U.S. District Judge
Nelva Gonzales Ramos struck down the law and ordered the state to
return to election law practices in place before the Legislature
passed the law in 2011.
The law, Ramos wrote, intentionally discriminates against
Hispanics and blacks in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
and is tantamount to a “poll tax” because of the cost to acquire
any of the various acceptable forms of photo identifica-tion that a
voter is required
to present at the polls, in addition to a voter registra-tion
certificate, in order to cast an election ballot. Ramos ordered the
state to submit any proposed amendments to the election law to her.
The State of Texas appealed and the Fifth Circuit granted the
state’s petition to let the law stand. The plaintiffs then turned
to the Supreme Court for redress, and were rebuffed.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a dissenting opinion in
support of the plaintiffs’ assertion of unconstitutional effects of
the Texas law. Gins-burg was joined in her dissent by Justices
Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Majority support of the Texas law,
however, came from the other six: Chief Justice John Roberts and
Justices Samuel Alito, Ste-phen Breyer, Anthony Kenne-
dy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. But the six produced no
written opinion in support of the State of Texas.
ABORTION PROVISIONS ON HOLD
In a 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 14 put a hold on
two requirements of Texas’ 2013 abortion law that reportedly have
resulted in the closure of 34 out of the 41 abortion-providing
facili-ties in the state:
1. That abortion facilities meet the same standards as
ambulatory surgical centers; and
2. Doctors who perform abortions at clinics in El Paso and
McAllen need not have active admitting privileges at a hospital not
further than 30 miles from the location at which the abortion is
per-formed or induced.
In taking this action, the high court temporarily sus-pends a
two-week-old rul-ing by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Ap-peals
that allowed those portions to stand.
Meanwhile, the constitutional-ity of the entire 2013 Texas
abortion law is under review in the Fifth Circuit.

High court allows voter ID law for current electionSTATE CAPITAL
HIGHLIGHTS By Ed Sterling | Texas Press Association
Realizing they have an untapped resource for making money, many
ranch families have extended their operations to include income
streams besides livestock. Some have resorted to wrangling dudes,
guiding hunters or renting out their ranches for weddings. After
all, there is a certain sym-metry, whether you're trying to find a
buck or you're getting married, both have about the same odds for
success. You also have to have a license for both and there is a
bag limit, so to speak.
As with a contractor who builds a house, the real money to be
made in marrying or hunting is in the "add-ons" you can charge for.
For example, if you have to be at the scene of the accident anyway,
you might as well get paid to be the one who marries the lucky
couple. Granted, it does require some sort of certification but the
barrier to entry is quite low. When my sister wanted me to marry
her, not in a literal sense, I got my certification from the Rose
Ministries of Las Vegas, Nevada, for $35.00. And I got to pick
whether I wanted to be known as Pastor Pitts or Reverend Lee. (For
a few dollars more I could have received a framed certificate
instead of the cheap plastic card I settled for.) After the wedding
at the reception you could charge for being the DJ who spins the
country western music. (I'm assuming the young couple aren’t going
to want hip hop or rap music, and I use the word “music” with great
reservation.)
What better to serve at the barbecue af-
terwards than your own branded beef, mountain oysters and jerky.
You could also charge for the bouquets and bouton-nieres made out
of leafy spurge, sagebrush or kudzu. If your wife can sew, why not
sell the bride and bridesmaid's dresses or rent out foot-wear like
they do at the bowling alley. And what guests wouldn’t pay for
valet parking, umbrel-las and pay toilets, after
all, I don't think wedding guests should be expected to use
nature's facilities. I think many affluent guests would also pay a
pretty penny for upgrading their seating arrangements from a hay
bale to a plastic chair.
You could sell grass seed in cute little sacks to throw at the
couple afterwards instead of rice. This brings in more income and
will also reseed a pasture. If the party goers imbibe too much you
can provide wagons and carriages with designated driv-ers to haul
them home. Because they got their car dirty on your dirt road, of
course you’re going to want to offer car washes as they exit your
property. And if the father of the bride can't pay for all these
add-ons, why not serve as his loan shark or bookie by carrying a
note at an exorbitant rate of
interest, or by placing his bets? After all, any man who lets
his precious daughter marry a cowboy has got to be a BIG
gam-bler.
Granted, there are not so many opportu-nities for add-ons with
hunting. Oh sure, you can charge a consultant fee to advise the
hunter when he’s about to shoot one of your cows instead of a
moose. You can also charge for a sleeping bag, guide services,
port-a-potty, field dressing and for carrying out his buck.
Speaking of carrying, if you can't get to the buck or elk your
guest shot you would quite naturally add on a charge for cleanup
services performed by the carrion that patrol your place.
Naturally, if your guest killed an animal out of season, or an
endangered species, I'm quite sure they'd expect you to charge for
burial ser-vices too. I can envision a fee for dog rental, tree
stand or duck blind rental, ammunition and artillery, cutting and
wrapping, bribing the game warden, taxidermy, and tee shirts and
caps advertising your ranch.
To really hit the jackpot you could com-bine marrying and
hunting by offering a hunting honeymoon after the ranch wed-ding.
Or a dude honeymoon by charging them for fixing your fence,
flanking calves at your branding, or putting up your hay.
Just think my ranching friends, the world is your oyster and all
you have to do is not be afraid to charge for them. The oysters, I
mean.

Vote for school bondEarly voting for the Nov. 4 General Election
starts this week. As Crockett
County voters go to the polls, we ask that you vote in favor of
the $3 million Crockett County Consoli-dated Common School
Dis-trict Bond.
This bond will fix a lot of areas in school district, in-cluding
the purchase of new buses, technology for computer and science
labs, resurface the track and new tennis courts.
If passed the bond is a step in getting our school district’s
infrastructure upgraded.
The bond’s total of $3 million will also remain here in Crockett
County. Bond money is not subject to state recapture.
In case you don’t know what that means, each year CCCCSD has to
send more than half of its budget to the state to be distribut-ed
out to poorer school dis-tricts, also known as the “Robin Hood”
plan.
CCCCSD has an estimated budget of $25 million. This year an
estimated $15 mil-lion will be sent to the state, leaving only $10
million to run the school district.
While $10 million sounds like a lot, it goes fast when you
factor in payroll, health insurance, maintenance on existing
buildings and housing and other needs.
With this bond, the dis-trict will be able to buy new buses and
vehicles, which are greatly needed.
Most of the vehicles in the district have more than 100,000
miles. One of the suburbans has 220,000 miles.
In the last year, buses have broken down at least seven times.
Some of the times were on trips when students were returning in the
middle of the night. It has also been five years since the district
has pur-chased a new bus.
The district’s vehicles are becoming unreliable and unsafe. With
this bond, the district will be to upgrade the fleet.
Our students and teach-ers are riding in these ve-hicles. Trips
are frequent in the school district with sports, band and academ-ic
trips each year. We need to ensure that our chil-dren and teachers
have safe transportation.
Also included in the bond
is new tennis courts and re-surfacing the track.
If you question these two items, then you obvious-ly have not
used them. The tennis courts are in terrible shape. Ozona is not
able to hold a tennis tournament because of the poor condi-tion of
the courts.
We are also doing a disser-vice to our tennis team and to our
community if these courts are not replaced.
The same can be said for our track. While it is in good
condition now, a track needs to be resurfaced ev-ery five to seven
years.
If the bond passes, the district can budget that bond money for
future use on this project. School dis-tricts have 10 years to
spend bond money.
Both the track and ten-nis courts are not only used by students,
but also by the public as well. There’s an-other reason to vote yes
for this bond.
The bond will also help upgrade computers and sci-ence labs,
purchasing teach-ing equipment and sup-plies, upgrade classrooms in
the high school and mid-dle school, purchase new equipment and
upgrade safety issues in the agricul-ture shop and woodshop, fix
roof leaks, repair teach-er housing and air condi-tioning and
heating units.
All of these needs will ben-efit everyone in the district.
Taxes will be raised min-imally, $31.60 a year for a $100,000
home or $2.63 a month. That’s chump change compared to value of
education this bond will provide for our students.
Also, taxpayers 65 and over will not have their tax-es go above
the frozen levy amount/ceiling that was es-tablished whenever the
over 65 exemption was granted.
Without the bond funds, these projects may take years to
accomplish.
Leaving the schools as they are will fail to push on-ward the
quality of educa-tion in the county.
So, go to the polls and vote your conscience. But consid-er what
we've said here. Vot-ing for the bond is the right thing to do for
the future of students in Crockett County.
Vote in support of the CCCCSD School Bond.
WHAT'S ON OUR MINDS EDITORIAL
2014
Time to make a commitment in your businessOct. 1 began a new
program
year for the ASU Small Business Development Center since we
operate on a federal term. For us it is a time of recommitment to
those we serve, the small business owner.
As a team we will get together and revisit our values of
integ-rity, excellence, service, and in-novation to make sure our
team is still aligned with these impor-tant values, which are the
guid-ing lights for us.
We will recommit to each oth-er as teammates and then re-commit
to those we serve and make sure we are still aligned
with their needs as our customers.
We have a motto at the SBDC that goes like this: “We will mim-ic
what we are asking our small business clients to do.”
Since most of us are for-mer business owners and managers,
liv-ing up to this motto is impor-
tant. If we suggest to an own-er they need to work long and hard
to solve a problem in their business, then we also need to work
long and hard for them.
If we suggest they need to reach out to resources we and others
have provided them, then we also need to reach out to re-sources to
help them.
If we suggest ways for them to work together better as a team,
then we also need to work on our team dynamics. If we advise their
employees may need more training, then we have to com-mit to doing
the same thing. If we provide technical training
and tools to a small business owner and stress they need to meet
their sales, profit and cash position goals, then we need to meet
our assigned goals (met-rics) as well.
In doing these things we are making sure we have integrity (one
of our values), and we are earning the right to assist them. We are
not asking our clients to do anything we are not also will-ing to
do ourselves.
We are aligned with them in this way. This is very important to
us that we recommit to this every year.
My suggestion is to look at
your business in the same way and ask the following questions.
What commitments are you making to your key customers? Is your team
aligned with what your key customers or your key customer segments
are wanting from your business?
Get together with your team and revisit these things to make
sure you are aligned with your customers or at least your key
customer segments.
I know in the heat of the bat-tle of everyday business it is
hard to carve out time to do this. I remember those days well and
even now we find it some-
times difficult to do. But re-member that successful busi-ness
owners and managers step back and take time to work on their
business, as well as work in the business.
Stepping back and working on your teams’ alignment with your
customers’ expectations is a good example of working on your
business. I wish you the best in this effort, and hope it is of
value to you.

A friend told me to look in the mirror when I am shaving and see
who I really am. This morning I looked in the mir-ror and what did
I see? I saw a mixture of both sides of my family. I saw some
characteristics of my Dad’s family and I could also see some of the
characteristics of my mother’s family. There are many positive or
good character traits I inherited from my parents but there is one
negative and that was the propensity (the desire to) to disobey or
sin. Man-kind’s disobedience actually started with Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden, (Genesis 3:9-19) and it has passed on to every
generation of every nation (Romans 3:9-12, 23). I can’t blame my
parents because when I got older I chose of my own free will to
disobey. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyway. I am accountable
to God for what I have done and no one else, (Romans 14:12).
Disobedience affects or changes our relationship to God. After Adam
and Eve disobeyed God they knew something was different and they
were afraid and hid, (Genesis 3:7&8). As I looked in the mirror
I saw a sinner but one thing has changed. I have asked God to
forgive my sins, (1John 1:9) and I have put my faith in Christ
Jesus (John 1:12; Romans 3:22-24). There is hope (Romans
4:7&8). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J

WORDS OF INSPIRATION
Missionaries to the homelessPedro and Penny Lazaro
are missionaries based at the Calvary Baptist Church here in
Ozona. When Pedro first came to our country he lived the life of a
variant, homeless and help-less on the streets of a large city.
Since that time, God has wonderfully lifted him out of that
lifestyle. Today, he enjoys a very comfortable life with his wife
Penny working as a heavy equipment operator for a local contractor.
God has placed a very special calling on the lives of Pedro and
Penny. He has placed a burden on the hearts of this couple to go
back and serve and minister to the home-less and deprived of our
urban areas. They have served in Ne-vada, Utah, and Oklahoma and
now in Texas. Since they came to Ozona they have carried the gospel
to the homeless in San Angelo, Dallas, San Antonio and many points
in between.
Pedro and Penny felt led to do this in a very special way. They
put together “care pack-ages” for those who are needy.
These packages are actually small canvass bags filled with items
needed to subsist on the streets. The bags contain non-perishable
food items, personal hygiene items, clothing items, blankets,
reading glasses and most important a Bible and Bible verses. The
bag and its contents have a value of about $50 or more. The bags
and items are purchased by the Lazaro’s with some help from various
church’s and friends of the ministry.
When Pedro and Penny give one of the bags to a needy person they
also deliver the good news of Jesus Christ and pray with the
receiver of the bag to give them an opportuni-ty to ask Jesus into
their heart
as their Savior. Calvary Bap-tist Church is proud that Pe-dro
and Penny have chosen to serve through the framework of our
fellowship. On Oct. 19, CBC helped Pedro and Penny stuff 50 bags to
be delivered by them over the next couple of weeks. Please pray for
this courageous couple as they go that they might be safe and
successful in their journeys. If you would like to support their
efforts, you may send contributions to Pedro and Penny Lazaro at
Calvary Bap-tist Church, at P.O. Box 1004, Ozona, Texas 76943.
DAN SLEDGE is the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Ozona,
Texas.

the Iraan General Hospital with her family by her side.
Jean was born January 31, 1930 in Iraan, Texas to Delfo and Neta

Camp amongst many friends, her parents, and her little sister, Sue.
She was an IHS pep squad leader and played the piano beautifully.
Nelda Jean graduated from Iraan High School in 1948 and decided to
attend Busi-ness School in Abilene. Fate stepped in that Fall when
the love of her life, Amos Owens, asked her to marry him. She came
home and they were married on January 8, 1949. They made their home
on the Owens Ranch in Crock-ett County, where she would spend the
next 47 years as a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. In 1996,
they retired from ranching and moved back to Iraan, where she spent
the remainder of her life. Jean was a wonder-ful mother and

played for hours with them. For more than sixty years, she loved
camp-ing with family on the Devil's River each summer. Family meant
everything to her.
Jean was a member of the Iraan Church of Christ. She was a kind,
Christian woman, who loved God. This was evident in how she lived.
She was a true example of Christian faith.
Some of her favorite hob-bies included reading, sifting through
family photos, and playing Scrabble. Nelda Jean had a love for West
Texas and it's scenery and enjoyed exploring and looking for old
glass bottles. She was a board member of the Iraan Senior Citizen
Center and Iraan Museum. She was a founding
member of the Iraan Hospital Auxiliary and a member of the Iraan
Archeology Society. Jean was a prominent member of the Iraan
Ex-Students Associa-tion from it's beginning, where she helped host
homecomings throughout the years.
Jean (Nana) meant the world to her family and friends. She will
be genu-inely missed by all that were blessed to know her.
Nelda Jean is survived by her daughter, Linda Sue Ow-ens Gage
and husband, Ken-ny Bill, and her son, James Weldon Owens, and wife
Cindy; three grandchildren, Brandi Gage Beeler and hus-band, Shane,
Chey-Anne Gage Smart and husband, Kyle, and Dawson Clay Owens; 4
great grandchildren, Slade, Finley, Campbell, and Gunnar. Her
sister, Sue Womack of Colo-rado City. Lifelong friends, Wanda

BY LAUREL SCOTTANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY
Duncan Knox, a senior in the An-gelo State University Honors
Program, has been selected as a 2014-15 Presidential Fellow by the
Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) in
Washington, D.C.
A history major from Ozona, Knox is one of only 64 Presidential
Fellows from uni-versities throughout the U.S. and select foreign
nations. He will join the other Fellows to attend the CSPC’s Fall
Leader-ship Conference Oct. 23-25 in Washington, D.C., where he
will hear keynote speakers and participate in discussions with
specialists in U.S. gov-ernment and international af-fairs, senior
government and military leaders, and industry leaders in business,
media and public policy.
Speakers at this year’s conference will include Christopher Lu,
deputy sec-retary of the U.S. Department of Labor; Jon Clifton,
man-aging editor of the Gallup World Poll; and Clive Crook, former
deputy editor of The Economist.
As a Presidential Fel-low, Knox will also be paired with a
research mentor for an extensive research proj-ect investigating
the federal government’s approach to issues involving freedom of
expression. He will then join the other Fellows for a sec-ond
leadership conference next spring in Washington, D.C., where they
will engage in another round of policy workshops and present their
research projects to peers and judging panels.
Knox is the second ASU Honors Program student to be named a CSPC
Presidential Fellow, joining Donald “Trey” Moore of Colleyville,
who was selected last year. Knox also represented ASU at the 55th
U.S. Air Force Academy Assembly in February and completed an
internship this summer in the Office of the Curator at the U.S.
Supreme Court. Last year, he partici-pated in a Fulbright Summer
Institute for Young American Student Leaders at the Uni-versity of
Bristol in England.
Incorporated in 1969, the CSPC is a non-profit, non-partisan
policy and educa-tion organization located in Washington, D.C. Its
Presi-dential Fellows Program was founded in 1970 as a way to
bridge the leadership gap between current and future generations.
Since its incep-tion, the program has served more than 1,000
students, many of whom have gone on to compete successfully for
major national scholarships. More details are available on the CSPC
website at www.the-presidency.org/.

LIONS: from page 1overall and 1-0 in district. Christoval
dropped to 2-6 and 1-1.
“I was just doing my job,” said Lombraña, who cracked a smile as
fans walked up and shook his hand and patted him on the shoulder
pads. “It felt great to force a turnover. Right then and there, it
was a huge game changer.”
Ozona would take advan-tage of the turnover by scor-ing on the
very next offensive play — a 34-yard run by Ryan Porras who outran
most of the Christoval defenders off a pitch to the left side at
the 11:42 mark of the first.
Porras, who ran for 95 yards and one touchdown, credited his
defense for set-ting up his offense in prime scoring position.
“All the credit goes to them,” said Porras, who had two runs of
20 yards or more in the win. “It really was a huge turn of momentum
in the game. We were ready to play after a week off.”
While the offense showed
its prowess running the ball — amassing 257 yards on the ground
— the defense stepped up its game as well.
Christoval, which came into Friday’s contest averag-ing 29
points per game, had its pass game slowed down almost to a halt —
at times — due to the Lions keeping de-fenders in front of them and
staying aware of quick screen passes to both hash marks.
“We’ve been playing re-ally good defense all year, but it’s even
better when you play great defense once dis-trict starts,” Lombraña
said. “That’s the fun time.”
The Lions would shut out the Cougars in the first half, while
their offense recorded another score — this time on a 15-yard
scamper by Lom-braña with 21 seconds left in the first quarter —
before jumping out to a 29-7 advan-tage at the break.
“The run game helped a lot, and it opened up our play-action
passes,” said Ricky Porras, who ran for 59 yards. “We were running
the ball well. I have to give the credit to our stop blockers,
who gave us (running) lanes.”Christoval was able to get
going on offense, especial-ly quarterback Jakob Whit-worth.
The junior quarterback threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns,
but threw three costly interceptions in the loss.
The Cougars scored 15 points in the fourth quar-ter, but only
after the Lions tacked on 13 points in the fi-nal two frames.
Wide receiver Hayden Hargraves caught the two touchdown passes —
for 39 and 10 yards — on the way to the 42-22 loss.
After taking a week off from the football grind, Per-ez said he
was proud of the effort from his troops.
“Our kids executed when they needed to,” said Perez, whose team
increased its win streak to five games. “They watched film, were
familiar with their offense and suc-ceeded.”
Ozona travels to Forsan this week. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
Friday.
OMS Lions take on Christoval
The OMS Seventh Grade Lions shutout Christoval 36-0 last

Fay.
The Eighth Grade Lions lost to Christoval 22-0.

members of the Court was duly and sufficiently notified of-ficially
and personally, in advance, of the time, place, and purpose of the

When a voter arrives at a polling location, the vot-er will be
asked to present one of the seven acceptable forms of photo ID.
Election officials will now be required by State law to
determine whether the vot-er’s name on the identifica-tion provided
matches the name on the official list of registered voters
(“OLRV”).
After a voter presents their ID, the election worker will
compare it to the OLRV. If the name on the ID match-es the name on
the list of registered voters, the voter will follow the regular
proce-dures for voting.
If the name does not match exactly but is “sub-stantially
similar” to the name on the OLRV, the voter will be permitted to
vote as long as the voter signs an af-fidavit stating that the
voter is the same person on the list of registered voters.
If a voter does not have proper identification, the vot-er will
still be permitted to vote provisionally. The voter will have six
days to present proper identification to the county voter
registrar, or the voter’s ballot will be rejected.
Voters with a disability may apply with the county voter
registrar for a perma-nent exemption. The appli-cation must contain
written documentation from either the U.S. Social Security
Ad-ministration evidencing he or she has been determined to have a
disability, or from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
evidencing a disabil-ity rating of at least 50 per-cent.
In addition, the applicant must state that he or she has no
valid form of photo iden-tification. Those who obtain a disability
exemption will be allowed to vote by present-ing a voter
registration cer-tificate reflecting the exemp-tion. For more
information, call the Crockett County Tax
Office at 392-2674. Voters who have a con-
sistent religious objection to being photographed and vot-ers
who do not have any valid form of photo identification as a result
of certain natu-ral disasters as declared by the President of the
United States or the Texas Governor, may vote a provisional
bal-lot, appear at the voter reg-istrar’s office within six
cal-endar days after election day, and sign an affidavit swear-ing
to the religious objection or natural disaster, in order for your
ballot to be counted. For more information, call the Crockett
County Tax Of-fice at 392-2674.
Some of the items on the ballot include a heavily watched race
between Demo-cratic incumbent Pete Gallego and Republican
challenger Will Hurd for the District 23 Congressional seat.
Crockett County will also have a new state represen-tative after
this election. Re-publican Andrew Murr is fac-ing Libertarian
Maximillian Martin for the State Rep. Dis-trict 53 seat.
Locally, none of the coun-ty races are contested and only one
CCCCSD School Board race is contested.
For District 4 voters will have to decided between in-cumbent
Ray Don Myers and Ryan Bean.
