Hydraulic fracturing
treat those serious illnesses.”
According to a press release
by FCH, a quarter of Texans
may be affected by mental
illnesses, and there is a short-
age of specialized providers
in Jack County.
The National Alliance on
Mental Illness says that men-
tal disorders can affect indi-
viduals at any age and are
more common than cancer,
diabetes and heart disease.
Ray explains that there are
major types of mental ill-
nesses. Serious to persistent
mental illnesses are caused
by psychological, biologi-
cal, genetic or environmen-
tal conditions. Situational
mental illnesses are usually
the result of severe stress and
may be only temporary.
“No matter the reason or
cause, my desire is to help
individuals and families im-
prove the skills necessary to
overcome problems and to
accept issues that are beyond
their control,” Ray explained.
“Everyone has the right to
achieve happiness, and some
of us need a little help and
support to reach it.”
Appointments are covered
by most health insurances as
well as Medicaid and Chip.
For more information and to
make an appointment, call
(940) 549-2259.
Environmental groups have
tried to scare the public into
thinking that hydraulic frac-
turing pollutes the water and
air.
In the last 10 years, hy-
draulic fracturing has been
the most studied procedure
by state and federal govern-
ments and academia.
State regulatory agencies
have monitored and regu-
lated fracturing for more than
50 years and have not verified
one instance where fracturing
has polluted groundwater.
Suspicion that hydraulic
fracturing is a major factor

obvious reasons.
The event is designed to
heighten crime and drug pre-

reflects on 2013 as its 15th
year anniversary in Bowie.
“Our Bowie Bank branch
location has been fortunate
in growing their assets from
day one of $13 million to $69
million today, bringing the
total assets of the Jacksboro
National Bank to $210 mil-
lion.
“We are excited about our
success and will soon begin
constructing a new building
to continue to provide qual-
ify service to our customers,”
said the president.
Rumage continued that the
Bowie area adds great value
to the organization and is so
important in helping it re-
main a strong community
bank.
“The bank’s overall strate-
gic goal shall be to continue
to remain an independent
community bank,” concluded
the president.
In a strategic plan, the
Bowie News, formerly at 218
W. Tarrant for 40 years, has
moved to another temporary
location while the new bank
is built on their former prop-
erty, then will relocate in the
current JNB building next
door.
