By TODD GLASSCOCK
tgiasscock@mineralwellsindex.com
If you need to get anywhere
within Palo Pinto County, the
county has unfolded the perfect
tool - a new online map book.
Developed by the county's
911 Addressing Coordinator
Teresa Gilbreath, the map book
contains some of the most
accurate data available for gen-
eral as well as emergency use.
"We've built in about 3,500
clickable links," Gilbreath said
of the map's capabilities.
The map is easily used, she
said, and can be accessed online
or downloaded as a PDF file.
The map is available through
the county's website at www.
co.palo-pinto.tx.us by clicking
the Mapbook 2014 link.
Users can view, save or print
the map according to the use
agreement on the site, she said.
A bound book version of the
map is available for order from
the county's homepage for $50
by going to the Other County
Offices / 911Coordinator link.
She said anyone wanting to
buy a book should try the
online version before investing

Poole takes
trustee seat;
Ruelas still
president
By TYLER MASK

Although school is out for the summer,
Tuesday's Mineral Wells ISD School Board
meeting revealed that big things are still going
on at MWISD.
From a new school board member and a
change-up in offices to recognizing students'
achievements at the state level, things are not
slowing down.
This past election, Joel Hardeman chose not
to run for re-election because he was ready for
a change. But the school board isn't complete
without all seven of it's members, so Lauretta
Poole rose to the occasion, taking Place 6 on
the council.
She was officially sworn in just before the
board workshop/dinner on Tuesday. Poole
was unopposed, so no election took place.
Maria Jones' term was also up, but she chose
to run for another three years. She, too, was
unopposed. On top of taking Place 7 again,
however, the board unanimously elected her to

Center’s after-school
program adding more
activities, curriculum in
effort to assist, edu-
cate latchkey children
By TYLER MASK

Not too long ago, residents of
Mineral Wells began hearing
about an after-school program for
latchkey kids, the brainchild of
former Mineral Wells Mayor Rev.
Clarence Holliman.
Paul Lawrence Dunbar After
School Program officially opened its
doors in February, which means it
has been open for approximately
four months. But in this short time,
things have begun to take off, and
the after school program is dream-
ing big and seeing their dreams
come to life.
As originally planned, daily activi-
ties include snacks, crafts, stories and
organized games to help the children
learn to follow the rules, better com-
municate and develop social skills,
PLDASP Director Myra Lawrence
said; however, outside of these plans,
bigger things are brewing.
Drug and alcohol prevention cur-
riculum is now being taught weekly
by STAR Council's Zoe Hurley, of
Stephen ville.
Jobs in My Future, a program
where the PLDASP invites profes-
sionals from within the community
to come and talk to the students
about their jobs, has begun.
"The intent is to give the underly-
ing message of staying in school,
while giving the children a wide
array of jobs to choose from when
they become adults," Lawrence said.
"The message is that they can have
better lives than their families now
have by making smart choices. A
variety of careers needing college
educations and careers with special-
ized training but no college are
introduced to the children."
So far, fire fighters and emergency
medical technicians, a physical thera-
pist, a county extension agent, a pet
store manager, a dog trainer and a dog
groomer have visited the children.
To make things sweeter, the after-
school program has begun incorpo-
rating more hands-on learning for
the kids as well.
Judy Myers, a piano instructor,
comes every week to teach the chil-
dren piano lessons. Although the
program has recently started, some
of the kids have already discovered
a love for music, Lawrence said.
The newest hands-on addition to the
program is karate lessons taught by
