PACE 2A-THE POLK COUNTY ENTERPRISE. SUNDAY MARCH IS. IMS
New lights, press box considered for Lion Stadium
from page 1
uniturms. Although purchased only
three years ago, the present band
uniforms have not held up well and
are in poor shape, according to the
superintendent While glad of the
growth. Major said growth usually
means more money needs to be
spent “It’s a good problem, but it
needs to be solved." The district will
be studying various uniform options.
Other projects
Giving an overview of some other
projects the district needs to ad-
dress, Major said there are plans
underway for a new press box and
improved lighting at Lion Stadium.
The district has approximately
$140,000 in its bond fund which can
be used for the improvements, he
said. IJSD also plans to add 14 addi-
tional parking spaces at the junior
high.
Citing another need, Trustee Ben-
ny Evans said he hopes to see im-
provements made to the
deteriorating elementary school
parking lot. Major said there are
plans to "scoop out” the present
parking lot material and put in a
limestone base to stablize the soil in
preparation for paving, although ac-
tual paving may have to wait until
funds are available.
He also advised the board that this
is the time of year when many
districts are try ing to sell used buses
and that administrators are keeping
their eyes open for bargains.
Although presented only for the
board's information, literature was
distributed explaining options for
contracting-out to provide school
bus service. Major said there are 14
school districts which have con-
tracted for bus service, the closest
being Nacogdoches
Junior high students will return
from next week’s spring break to a
larger library. There is a severe
shortage of space in the library, Ma-
jor said, adding that some books are
being stored elsewhere. There are
presently four classrooms available
at the junior high, he said. Plans call
for walls to be removed between an
adjacent classroom and the library,
which will increase the size of the
library by 50 percent. “We can start
Wednesday afternoon and be
through Monday morning,” Major
said. Cost of the project is estimated
at $2,500.
Bids were accepted on several
items of cafeteria equipment, with
trustees accepting the lowest of the
bids received. Three convection
ovens, $4,800 each; a steamer for the
elementary school, $5,525; and two
food choppers, $2,600 each, will be
purchased from DAM Restaurant
Equipment. Several smaller equip-
ment items, not requiring board ap-
proval, were als^ purchased, bring-
ing the total for i. e purchases to ap-
proximately $17,000. The district had
originally estimated the equipment

and Liberty County officers to ex-
ecute the search warrant at 6:55
p.m. Thursday.
Investigation into the drug
manufaturing case is continuing.
Investigation into the theft of
aluminum scraps from property in
Leggett led to the arrest of a 27-year-
old Livingston man Wednesday, ac-
cording to a report filed by Sgt. Bob
Price. Arrested in a barn near the
site of the theft was Joe Richard
Mays, who has been charged with
theft and possession of narcotics
paraphernalia. The latter charge
stems from a crack pipe found in the
suspect’s pocket, according to Price.
The theft of a television from a
residence in Goodrich, reported to
the sheriff’s department Wednes-
day, has been cleared by the
recovery of the stolen property, ac-

follow-up in\ estigation.

ther investigation led to warrants

Cocaine case tried
LIVINGSTON - A Polk County
jury Tuesday found Oliver Lucius
Barlow of Rayburn Hills in Corrigan
guilty of delivery of cocaine. The
case was heard in 256th District
Court, with Judge Joe Ned Dean
presiding. Prosecuted by Polk Coun-
ty District Attorney Terry M.
Brown, the case is believed to be the
first delivery of cocaine case tried to
a Jury in Polk County. Tom Brown of
the law firm of Pace and Brown
represented the defendant.
Barlow was found guilty of
negotiating, on April 19, 1908, the
sale of four rocks of crack cocaine -
the most potent form of cocaine - to
an undercover investigator for the
Deep East Tens Narcotics and
Drug Trafficking Task Force. The
task force works in conjunction with
the Polk County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment and city police departments in
Polk County.
At the punishment hearing,
District Attorney Brown praised the
work of the officers of the task force
and urged the Jury to sentence the
defendant to 99 years in the peniten-
tiary in order to send a message to
crack dealers that Polk County will
not tolerate the dealing of crack co-
caine in the community. The Jury
sentenced the defendant, who had no
prior arrest record, to 10 years pro-
bation, which is the maximum
allowable period of probation under
the law.
“Some people may think I was be-
ing overly harsh in asking the Jury
for a sentence of 98 years for so-
meone who has never before been
arrested or convicted of any offense,
but I did so because of the great
threat this particular drug poses to
our county,” District Attorney
Brown said. "Although I can unders-
tand the jury’s reasoning in granting
probation, our office is going to try
more cases of this type in the future
and I shall continue to ask Juries for
the maximum sentence. Let the
crack cocaine dealers be put on
notice that the next defendant may
not be so fortunate.”
Barlow is scheduled to be sentenc-
ed before Judge Dean on March 21.
would cost $21,000.
In other business, trustees approv-
ed on first reading a policy govern-
ing advance placement examina-
tions. Required by the state, the
LISD already has a policy in place
but has made some additions, accor-
ding to Curriculum Coordinator
Janet Morris. Among the additions
is a requirement that students wan-
ting to take an advanced placement
test must have made an A in the sub-
ject area the previous year, when
applicable. For example, a student
wanting to place out of Algebra II
must have made an A in Algebra I.
The policy also requires a student to
gain parental permission before tak-
ing the test and limits the number of
tests which can be taken to two each
year.
Trustees also accepted a $250
donation from Livingston Communi-
ty Concert. At the concert group's
request, the money has been ear-
marked for improvements to the
sound system in the high school
auditorium.
The board also adopted textbooks,
cast ballots for Education Service
Center board members and agreed
to get quotes on the purchase a
Yazoo riding lawnmower for
grounds maintenance.

"The five great enemies to
peace are avarice, ambition,
envy, anger and pride. If these
were banished, we should en-
joy perpetual peace... ”
Petrarch
Since the dawn of time, men
have fought with one another.
It would be interesting to
analyze each war and see
where any of the five traits
listed by Petrarch caused a
tribe or a nation to go to war.
In themselves, these traits
are not all bad. Without ambi-
tion and pride, mankind
would make little progress of
any kind. But, when ambition
invokes taking over a
neighbor's property and pride
refers to deadly armaments,
peace is easily shattered.
It is a good idea to get to
know your funeral director
prior to need. We invite you to
stop in at your convenience or
phone and we'll come visit
you.
