We have a prayer room set up at
our church where anyone can come
to spend some time in prayer. There
is a table of books also in cases you
want to read. I looked them over a
little and decided on a small one
with the title, “A Few Hallelujahs
For Your Ho Hums.” That sounded
like a good title to me. The author
is Mary Holliusworth. Her joy and
faith in a loving God, just exudes
through her witness.
1 figured maybe, we could think
a little about our Ho hums. Most of
our ho hums are not even worthy of
the name. We just get anxious and
decide to worry. I call that mulley
drubbing. We all do have some
tough days. Illness is a hard thing to
bear. However, I have seen a lot of
brave persons who just learn to take
that in stride. I know that in his or
formed four years earlier in 1972.
So in 1976, Reed became a law
enforcement chaplain.
Reed went on to get his basic
way to health .

hard job to do. What has prompted
Reed to do this job voluntarily, is
his need for wanting to help people.
Though being a chaplain can be a
big job at times, the main qualifica-
tions for such a job are patience and
compassion.
Reed first learned about being a
law enforcement Chaplin while
serving the town of Kilgore in
1976. The chief-of-police there was
an ex-DPS Sergeant who one day
was talking to Reed about a chap-
lain’s roles and duties.
Reed had always wanted to be a
chaplain, and at this point and time
wished that there was some kind of
organization for chaplains.

Being a chaplain, at times, can be a
very emotional job.
Reed said that it is a job that you
must harden your heart to do. “You
can’t let it get to you.” said Reed, .
“Of course, I feel sorry for people
when I have to go out and deliver a
death message, but that’s part of the
job and that’s why nobody else I
wants it”
Reed, a practicing pastor, was
called to preach God’s Word, and
during his ministry be felt a need to
help in law enforcement “God has
really helped me out.” said Reed,
“He has helped me deal with things
that that Etale Reed could never
have dealt with.” Reed said that it
has also helped by having a good
boss like Ftanola County Sheriff
Jack Ellett “A lot of sheriffs don’t
care about this work,” said Reed,
“but my sheriff sure does.,”
"I know that when I pull into
someone’s driveway that what I am
about to say will change their life
forever, so it is my duty to put this
news in the best way possible to
help them cope with it. These are
very difficult situations.”
Reed said that sometimes people
will go into denial and they will
slap at you and swing at you.
“They sometimes will call you a
liar and say that it’s not true, you
have the wrong guy, and really I
can’t blame them,” said Reed,
“News of this magnitude strikes
folks in different ways,”
Though most people take a
chaplain’s job with a grain of salt,
it’s easy to see the importance and
advantages of having a chaplain on
hand.
“When a person gets the rela-
tionship that I feel I have with
Panola County,” said Reed, “it
becomes a great experience being a
chaplain.

Every year, as we get into the
cold winter months, a unique thing
happens in cattle country-they get
out.- With the number of cattle
ranches we have in the county it
comes as no surprise that a portion
of our time is spent trying to locate
the owners of cattle that have es-
caped. We have absolutely no
problem with ninety five percent of
the ranches in the county because
they run an operation that has good
fences and there is plenty of winter
febcT available for their stock. It is
the other five percent that turn our
deputies into cowhands.
Anyone who has ever raised
even one cow, horse or goat knows
that if it really wants to get out, it
probably will. Our problem comes
up when the landowner has fences
that are in such bad shape the
animal leaves the pasture at will.
Think of how dangerous it is for a
driye'r, traveling the speed limit, at
night to come across a 1,500 pound
bull in the highway. This is what
we try to prevent from happening.
The Texas Livestock Laws are
very specific about what the sheriff
must do when an animal gets out
on the road or into another's pas-
ture. We have the authority to im-
pound the animal so as to remove it
flHi
Ask not what you can do for
your chaplain, but ask what your
chaplain can do for you.
That is what Sgt. Dale Reed of
the Panola County Sheriff’s
Department holds to be true. Reed,
who has been a chaplain for 20
years, is a voluntary law enforce-
ment chaplin with the sheriff’s
department, in addition to being
sergeant of criminal investigations
for eight years.
What exactly is a chaplain? A
law enforcement chaplain, is very
similar to a psychologist He coun-
sels officers in times of trouble, and
delivers emergency messages, as
well as death messages. Reed said
that a lot of troopers, city officers,
and county officers do not wish to
do such things.
“It’s hard,” said Reed, “You
really need to have a lot of compas-
sion and pity for people.”
Reed also said that he didn’t
investigation, law enforcement
' reserve service certification so be
would legally be eligible to cany a
weapon, wear a badge, and ride
with his fellow peace officers.
“I fed that if a chaplain has at
least a reserve certification so he
can ride with these officers, and in
case something happens, he would-
n’t put the county or the city in lia-
bility,” said Reed. In other words, if
a chaplain rode out on a scene
where he would have to pull a
weapon and use it, and be was not
state certified, there would be a
major problem.
Reed said he believes that a
chaplain should at least be reserve
certified by the State of Texas in
order to be a true law enforcement
chaplain.
Panola County has reserve offi-
cers who work without pay, but
they are legally certified by the
state to carry a weapon, wear a
badge and uniform, and ride with
regular officers.
Reed also said that there is
always a growing need for a chap-
lain, especially in these days and
times. He feels this is mainly attrib-
uted to all the catastrophes happen-
ing now like the bombing in
Oklahoma City. In fact, Reed said
that about 150 of their chaplains
were called to Oklahoma City,
which was a 24 hour job.
“Larger cities may have as many
as 40 and 50 chaplains on a rota-
tion,” said Reed, “and here I am,
the only one in Panola County. So
there is definitely a growing need
for chaplains.”
There are no specifications or
restrictions as far as being a chap-
lain, though Reed feels that it is
better for one to be a preacher or
minister of some sort.
“The chaplain job is a secondary
job for me.” said Reed, “My prima-
ry job is sergeant of criminal inves-
