EMS adds unit
By Chris Lundstrom
General Manager
Just a little more than a
year after forming its EMS,
the Jackson County Hospital
District has added another
fully staffed ambulance to its
fleet.
James Sudik, EMS direc-
tor, gave Jackson County
Hospital Board directors the
news at it Sept. 27 board
meeting.
“With the addition of this
ambulance we now can have
three fully-staffed mobile
intensive care units on scene
in the county within 15 min-
utes,” Sudik said.
The EMS has one ambu-
lance housed in Ganado at
the fire station. Another
ambulance is now housed on
the hospital campus and the
third is also kept in Ganado.
The EMS has increased its
staff to 15 full-time EMTs
and paramedics, enough to
crew the second ambulance
full time.
“By increasing our capa-
bility we can handle emer-
gencies in the county and still

Ballots by mail
make voting easy
By Chris Lundstrom
General Manager
Early voting in the Nov. 6
general election is less than
two weeks away and if you
haven’t already registered to
vote - it is too late. Oct. 9
was the last day to register to
vote or make a change of
address that will be effective
on election day.
It is not, however, too late
to request an application for a
ballot by mail. Any registered
voter age 65 or older or any-
one with a disability can call
the county clerk’s office at
782-3547 and request an
application. A paper ballot
will be mailed to your resi-
dence and once completed
can be mailed back to the
county clerk. Also anyone
who will be outside the coun-
ty during early voting or on
election day can receive a
ballot by mail by the same
procedure. All applications
for a mail ballot must be
received at the county clerk’s
office by Tuesday, Oct. 30.
Early voting begins on
Monday, Oct. 22 at the
Jackson County courthouse
in the county clerk’s office
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
A voter registration card or
valid photo I.D. must be pre-
sented to be able to vote. The

ners were Miss Victoria

stock judging all day
Wednesday, the senior citi-
zen luncheon at noon on
Thursday followed by the
Little Wrangler Rodeo at
6:30 p.m., and Kindergarten

The impact of one life
By Paul Harrison
Staff Writer
What impact does one life
make? Kay Frels passed
away this past May, having
touched lives just being her-
self, and among those she
touched and changed were a
trio of women brought
together by an echo of her
impact on their lives.
Jennifer Storz, Tyanne
Rakowitz and Monica Bard
are now reaching out to the
entire Gulf Coast and
Crossroads area women the
way they were reached by
Kay.
The ladies formed God’s
GALS - Growing And
Learning Servants of Christ -
and are holding a kick-off
ministry event, a women’s
escape in Wharton Nov. 2-3.
“Known to God, but not to
us, Kay had planted and
watered seeds in all three of
us,” said Bard.
“Frels’ passing gave clari-
ty,” said Storz. “Tyanne and I
both had stirrings of the spir-
it of doing something, but
