G4S lease approved for Juvenile Justice Center
BY AMANDA LEIJA
BROWNWOOD BULLETIN

In a 3-1 vote, Brown County
Commissioners approved the G4S
lease for the Brown County Juvenile
Justice Center — formerly Unit 2 of
the Ron Jackson state school.
Brown County Judge Ray West,
Precinct 1 Commissioner Gary Wor-
ley and Precinct 3 Commissioner
Wayne Shaw voted in favor of the
lease while Precinct 2 Commission-
er Joel Kelton voted in opposition.
Part of the delay in approving the
G4S bid for the lease last week was
in the wording the bid contained.
“The bid was in good form but
some of the items needed to be
corrected,” West said. “We gave
them a week to make the needed
corrections to their bid so it would
comply with the specs that were
sent out.”
Rite of Passage, Inc. was the
other company that submitted a
bid, but that bid was rejected dur-
ing last week’s meeting.
“Rite of Passage’s bid was re-
jected because they didn’t meet all
the requirements of the county’s
bid,” West said. “We sent both
companies the requirements for the
lease and their bid had a condition
we had no control of.”
In a letter attached to Rite of
Passage’s bid, the company stated,
“This letter and lease is contingent

It was just another hot summer day
for Vic Stacy, but all that changed with a
phone call from a neighbor at the Peach
House RV Park. The events that unfolded
on July 29, 2012, led the Brown County
Sheriff’s Office to present Stacy with a
Certificate of Valor during commission-
ers’ court Monday morning.
“We will never now how many lives Vic
saved that day,” Brown County Sheriff
Bobby Grubbs said. “This is a classical
example of why we need our Second
Amendment.”
After presenting the honor to Stacy, the
commissioners, along with Early Police
Chief David Mercer, showed their appre-
ciation for Stacy by shaking his hand and
thanking him again for his actions.
“We are very grateful he stepped up
and helped,” Early Police Chief David
Mercer said. “We all had a good outcome
that day. Thank you so much.”
Call that changed everything
Stacy recalls watching the first Rambo
movie, “First Blood” that Sunday and
hearing four shots outside, but saw noth-
ing when he looked outside. He figured
someone was getting some practice by
the nearby tank. Shortly after, Stacy’s
phone started to ring.
“He told me, ‘Get your gun and get

Spring break has arrived and with it comes
the question many parents ask themselves
every year: “What do we do with our kids?”
Have no fear, First Baptist Church in
Brownwood has a program to in which to
enroll children that is good for them both
physically and spiritually.
Through Friday, FBC will host their annual
Champs Camp, a program that ties together
sports and a Christ-centered environment.
This year marks Champs Camp’s 10th
year. The camp gives boys and girls from
kindergarten to sixth grade a fun and enjoy-
able environment, teaching them the art of
sports, about Christ and a Christ-like atti-
tude and helping them cultivate friendships
with other local children.
This year’s theme is Duck Dynasty, based
on the popular A&E program that docu-
ments the lives of the Robertson family,
known primarily for their business, Duck
Commander, which produces duck calls.
