Lost Pines Scout Reservation
Eleven brave scouts and leaders from Yoakum's Boy Scout Troop 228 spent winter camp at Lost Pines Scout Reserva-
tion on Lake Bastrop. The camp took place from Dec. 27-31 and temperatures were in the 20's. Quite a few merit badge
classes were offered and completed by the Scouts. They are looking forward to summer camp at Lost Pines in June,
where they can work on more merit badges and the weather will certainly be warmer. Shown above are, front row, from
left, Clayton Belicek, Josh Lorke, Craig Lahodny, Preston Kocian, and Chance Hagan; back, Brian Belicek, Cody Page
Logan Kocian, Matt Eckstrom, Jonathon Berry, and Dennis Kocian.

Dillon and Bradley Hollas, members of the Green Leaves 4-H Club show the
911 Address signs being sold by all Lavaca County 4-H members They are the
sons of Ronnie and Shirley Hollas
The 4-H Clubs in the county hav e
taken on this project, with the ap-
proval of the Lavaca County Com-
missioners' Court, as a public ser-
vice, according to Shannon
DeForest, County Extension Agent.
"While 4-H will realize a very small
profit from the sale of each sign, the
cost has been kept low to encourage
residence of the county to clearly
mark their homes so that precious
seconds are saved when they need
emergency help," says. DeForest.
Some people may even want to or-
der two signs so that they're num-
ber is visible from two directions.
The signs are not just for rural
residents. Those who live in town
are also welcome to order these signs
so that their house number is clearly
visible at night as well as in the day -
tune. "We already have a few orders
from people living inside city limits
where house numbers are required.
" says Nancy Fuhrken. County Ex
tension Agent who'is'coordinating
the project with adult volunteers.
"Address numbers are not re
quired to be visible at night That’s
w hy these signs are so different from
house numbers and addresses on
mail boxes." she say s
"Many emergencies happen
when it's dark, making it much more
difficult to use landmarks that can
be used in daylight hours I've pur-
chased one for my home for that rea-
son. It will also help visitors find my
house more easily." says Fuhrken
If you need further information,
please call the County Extension ot
fice at 798-2221.

was held on the Sweet Home School
campus. Parents, students and staff
members played volleyball and bas-
ketball and enjoyed hot dogs, chips,
dips, and desserts.
Mrs. Melony Blundell will be or-
ganizing a volunteer program at
Sweet Home School and is in the pro-
cess of setting up a parent resource
center in the school. Parents are in-
vited to visit the new computer lab
and classrooms and try out the new
computers and Internet service that
were purchased through the TIF
grant.
Parents will also be able to use the
computer in the parent resource cen-
ter to access resources on the Inter-
net. Please call the school if you
would like to sign-up for a time to
use the computer in the parent re-
source room, 293-3221.
All 4-H members throughout La-
vaca County are currently taking or-
ders for 911 address signs. The signs
are made of sturdy aluminum with
4-inch reflective numbers on one
side only. The signs are green and
have two pre-drilled holes for
mounting. There are two sizes avail-
able: 6" x 12" signs will hold up to
four numbers; 6" x 18" signs will
hold five or more numbers. The
signs sell for $7 and $ 11.25, respec-
tively.
Lavaca County Sheriff Robert
Wurm and EMS Director Debbie
Fishbeck have endorsed this project.
It is important to have signs that
clearly identify your residence or the
entrance to your residence so that
emergency personnel can find your
home quickly, night or day. Fishbeck
says that signs need to be placed at
the entrance to the driveway.
“People need to remember that
emergency personnel may have
never been to their home, so num-
bers that are clearly visible, day or
night, really are necessary", says
Fishbeck.
An address on a mailbox, while
necessary for prompt mail delivery,
is not the most reliable or visible way
for addresses to be seen. Many times
mailboxes are not located directly in
front of the residence, or there are
several boxes together, making it
more difficult for emergency person-
nel to locate a residence in an emer-
gency. Even if there are no other
mailboxes or property entrances
nearby, emergency personnel want
to devote all their thoughts and en-
ergy to responding to the needs of
the person who calls.
If the entrance is clearly marked
and visible from a distance at night,
they don’t have to worry about be-
ing at the right location.
