New vote pending on boll weevil zone By Richard Porter

Plainview Dally Herald Agriculture Editor

The Northern High Plains Boll Weevil Steering Committee met last week to continue work on a proposed budget and discuss a proposed referendum.

According to Weldon Melton, committee chairman, they have made a request to the Texas De­partment of Agriculture to call for a. referendum Sept. 26.

At that time, growers in the zone, which includes Hale, Swisher, Floyd, BriBCOe and parts or Armstrong 'and Randall Coun­ties, will be asked to vote on three things: whether or not to activate an eradication zone; an assess­ment; ~d the election of a director to represent them with the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Founda­tion. ,

Currently, Jesse Pinkel'Wn of Halfway serves as a foimdation dilec:tor.

Also during the meeting, a bud­get was finalized and submitted to the Eradication Foundation for its a~roval.

"Once they approve it, it will go to the Texas Department of Agri­culture for their approval, "Melton said, adding that he has been en­couraged by the efforts put into the proposals by the committee.

. "It was a ~ working meet­ing. The budget we worked on was built 'on a worat-c:ue scenario.

"T he Petersburg cemetery area was prob~bly the hottest spot (in the zone). In one square yard of leaf litter, we got 39 weevils and 30 were still alive. That's a

New building planned for AISD

By Scott Luce M&M Remodeling won its sec­

ond building contract from Aber­nathy Independent School Dis­trict Mond"ay.

Trustees unanimously ap­proved building a mult\-purpose facility that may cost around $200,00 after everything is tabu­lated.

"We're trying to keep it under $200,000," assistant superinten­dent Robert Priest said during his presentation to the board. "Shal­lowater built a similar building and it cost them $400,000."

The metal building is 75feet by 120 feet. It is 23 feet to the peak from 20-foot walls . It is prefabri­cated and cost $43,223.

M&M Construction won with a bid of$21,320 to erect the build­ing. M&M Remodeling bid $37,260 to assemble the building kit.

The concrete bid was $24,360. A gym floor similar to the existing floor in the large gym was bid at $43,600. The lighting bid was $1,100 and doors were bid at $3,000.

All bids accepted were the low bids. Some wiring, plumbing and ventilation will be done by school personnel.

There will be two dressing rooms and two bathrooms. There is room on both sides of the C!;~Urt equal to the roll-out benches in the school's large gym. AISD can buyfive76-}lerson roll-outbleach­ers·from Lubbock Christian Uni­versity.

Construction is expected to be complete for the next school year.

In Gther business, trustees ap­proved a media contract with the Region 17 Sei'Vice Center. The cost is $2,436 or $3 per student on an average daily attendance fig­ure of812.

"If we tried to keep our own video library up to date, it would cost the school district $186,000," superintendent Oran Hamilton said.

The budget was amended $1,241 to allow the high school, . which was termed "successful", to be able to use the state money.

After discussing a $48,000 elec­tric bill , board members agreed to pay bills. Business manager Floyd Galloway explained the electric bill was for six months. It came in a lump sum after Southwestern Public Service changed a billing procedure.

The school auditorium will be getting new stage curtains in time for graduation . They cost between $6,000 and $7,000, Hamilton said. The same price tag will cover a new sound and lighting systeJ:Il. The sound system will be in place for graduation but the lights will be delivered during the summer.

"We1llook at new carpet, chairs and painting later,• Hamilton said.

Students will be able to take classes and interact in real-time with teachers after 24 computer stations are installed in the old science lab.

The system is linked to the service center and costs $67,000. The district will pay $2,600 of the cost.

"It was ordered Mar. 27 and will be here in six weeks,• Hamil-\ ___ ... ton said. "South Plains College offers 12 classes students can take for advanced college credit. There are also four classes offered by Texas Tech that teachers can take for masters degrees. •

AISD will phase out the ex­pense and use of the current sat-' ellite system.

month's 856 pOpulation to 868 this month. The increase was in high school. ' ·

Abernathy's new Family Nurse Practitioner graduated from West Texas A&M University last Au­gust. Nazareth native Peggy Birkenfeld may have a new title but she'e no rookie in the health care profession.

"I waa a registered nurse for nineteen and a half years at Swisher County Memorial Hospi­tal," Birkenfeld said recently in her new office at Abernathy Medi­cal Clinic.

She has a Master of Science in Nursing and began her full time duties in December.

"We saw 26 to 27 patients the first da.x; she eaid. "It's stayed pretty steady. We've been pretty busy."

She was director of nursing at SCMH and she'a aleo worked in home health in Dimmitt. Birkenfeld is a member of Sigma Theta Tau International, a na­tional honor society for nursing. She aleo has training in advanced cardiac life support.

Birkenfeld operatee the local clinic under the auapices of Hi­Plains Hospital in Hale Center. Her supervising doctors are Dr. Kit Linton and Dr. Hugh Wileon.

"We've added a hospital bed and can now do 1V (intravenous) therapy here at the clinic. That eaves having to put people in the hospital," she said.

"We are working on Rural Health Clinic Certification from the Texas I)epartment of Health. That certification helps ensure the quality of care patients receive."

Thequalitymustbeprettygood already.

"We're getting patients from everywhere around here. They're coming from Idalou, Petersburg, New Deal, Anton, Plainview, Shal­lowater, Wilson and Lockney. We have numerous patients from

Advancing plays are New Deal and Ralls and Lockney's play was selected as the alternate.

Abernathy UIL students se­lected for the All-Star Cast were Kathy Wilke and Michael Chris­tian. Samantha Harmonson WBB

Dr. Kit Linton and Peggy Birkenfeld, FNP, MSN, review some patient charts at the Abernathy Medi­cal Clinic. Birkenfeld joined the clinic in Decem· ber. Lubbock that come regularly," Birkenfeld said.

It may be her personal care combined with weekly visite by Dr. Linton on Tuesdays but Birkenfeld is quick to give credit where it is due.

"They like our care and our samplee of medicine. They also like Mark King at the pharmacy. Mark triea to stay competitive. He has the same generic and namebrand medicine they have in Lubbock. I can talk to a phar-

macist here instead of a recording in Lubbock," ahe said.

"I like the people here and they're coming back to the clinic."

Since she travels from Naza­reth ev'ery day, the hours have changed somewhat. Th e clinic's hours are 8:30a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Something else the local pa­tients should find unusual but to their li king is limited home visits.

On my slate championship ring , I engraved the initials .. L.A ... for those and other reasons.

Coach Aldridge' s life is a walking teslimony to community and mankind's service. He always lei me know I was welcome in his borne, office,golfcorm;eandchurcb.

Aldridge made school a fun, chal­lenging, exciting place for my daugh­terTe xi. She bas gotten off to the best stan and I believe much credit goes to Aldridge's administrative philosophy.

FAITH GIVES US THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING

Our refusal to act in any situation because of fear. a reluctance to "get involved," or for some other reason that seems right at the time can bring about some really tragic consequences. For example, if you have reason to believe thaf someone in your neighborhood is dealing drugs. your failure to alert the authorities could result in the death of innocent persons, including you or a loved one. If you suspect any kind of "bad scene," by all means report it. You can do it anonymously, and if the investigation proves your fears unfounded, no hann will have beert done ·w ·· anyone. Your House of Worship teaches you to do the right thing at all times, and you will never know how many lives you might save by following this advice. ·

State rules apply to outdoor burning The Outdoor Burning Rule sets the following

general requirements for allowable outdoor burn­ing. These requirements are designed to reduce the likelihood that burning will create a nuisance, cause a hazard or harm the environment.

The party responsible for the burn remains liable for damages, injuries or other consequences that may result from burning, even when it is carried out in compliance with these regulations.

Rules are as follows: • Notify the Texas Forest Service before carrying

out any prescribed or controlled burns that are intended for forest management.

• Burn only outside the corporate limits of a city or town, unless the incorporated city or town has an ordinance that permits burning and is consistent with the Texas Clean Air Act Subchapter E.

• Begin or continue burning only when the wind direction and other weather conditions are such that the smoke and other pollutants will not present a hazard to any public road, landing strip or navigable water such as lake, river, stream or bay or have an adverse effect on any ofT-site structure containing "sensitive receptors" such as a residence, business, farm building or greenhouse.

• Post someone to flag traffic if at any time the burning causes or may tend to cause smoke to blow onto or across a road or highway.

• Keep fires downwind of or at-least 300 feet away from any neighboring structure that contains senei-

tive receptors. This requirement may be waived only with the prior written approval of whoever owns or rents the alljacent property and either resides or conducts business there. ·

• Begin burning no earlier than one hour after sunrise, end it the same day and no later than one hour before sunset and make sure that a responsible party is present while the burn is active and the fire is pro·gressing. At the end of the burn, extinguish isolated residual fires of smoldering objects if the ·smoke they produce can be a nuisance or a traffic hazard.

• Don't start burning unless weather conditione are appropriate for smoke to dissipate, winds of at least six miles per hour, no temperature inversions, and to be able to contr.pl the fire, winds no faster than 23 miles per hour.

• Don't burn any electrical insulation, treated lumber, plastics, construction or demolition materi­als not made of wood, heavy oils, asphaltic materials, potentially explosive materials·, chemical wastes or items that contain natural or synthetic rubber.

If a controlled burn is in violation with the rules, it will be extinguished. Expenses may be billed to re-sponsible party .

The· Abernathy Volunteer.Fire Department can be contacted !)t 298-2546. Call AVFD or Hale County Sheriffs Department to notify aboutconbtrolled burn­ing in Hale County.
