On The Beat with
Sheril F George Keely
you understand that this parcel
of land is no longer open to the
public and you must deal with
new owners if you want to ride
your off road vehicles out there
or if you just want to go onto the
land.
The new owners
are planning on making
improvements and making
the facilities nice so residents
and non-residents of Winkler
County can enjoy the ‘sand
dunes’ experience. They have
big plans and their development
should be a nice addition to
Winkler County.
Apparently my article
about an unscrupulous
mechanic was well received by
most of the newspaper readers.
An interesting side note is that
I had two lawyers look over the
article prior to me running it in
the paper and they both said that
it gave no indication who this
mechanic was. My intentions
were to protect the people of
Winkler County from getting
cheated further. CBS7 News
also did a story regarding an
unscrupulous mechanic as well
and interviewed me and again
I did not name any particular
mechanic but spoke in general
terms about this matter.
I have had several citizens
ask me whether it was about
such and such mechanic and
all I will answer ‘no’ it was not
about that mechanic. However,
the mechanic in question called
the Winkler County Sheriff’s
Office and was very rude on
two occasions with the jail staff
and my administrative assistant
and related he was upset at me
because I wrote an article about
him! I guess if the shoe fits
you should wear it. One of this
mechanics employees told me
that, ^‘You can’t keep cheating
people and expect them to just
take it!” I agree with that. I am
surprised but glad that some
of these irate customers did
not take the law into their own
hands.
The good news is this
mechanic is no longer doing
business in Winkler County.
The Winkler County Sheriff’s
Office is investigating a
criminal complaint against him
and if the prosecutor says it is a
criminal matter and not a civil
matter we will move forward in
a criminal court of law and seek
justice. There are also several
civil cases that have been filed
against him as well.
The sad part of this incident
is that there is a need for another
good mechanic and there is
plenty of work and money to
be made by just being an honest
businessman and taking care of
your customers.
Just a reminder: You
cannot use a cellular telephone
while you are driving through
a school zone while the school
zones lights are in operation!
You can be fined up to $200 for
each and every violation. It is
a dangerous practice to be on
a cellular phone while driving
in a school zone because your
attention is divided and there are
children in the school zone and
sometimes they are not paying
attention to the traffic and this
could result in a terrible tragedy.
There have been
many calling in ‘suspicious
activity’ that you have seen
in your neighborhoods and
these reports have helped us
arrest several local criminals
including a burglar! Thank you
for partnering up with local law
enforcement to fight crime in
our community! Kudos to you
all but don’t let up as there is still
a lot of work to be done. Keep
those calls coming, please! The
citizens of Winkler County and
the law enforcement of Winkler
County make a great crime
fighting team. We are all in this
together!
Many citizens have asked
me who they should vote for in
the upcoming Wink and Kermit
City Elections and School
Board Elections. I don’t like
to tell people who to vote for.
I think you should make your
own choices and talk to your
candidates and ask them why
they are the best choice then
look at all your options and
make your selections. You are
all intelligent and can select
the people that you think will
do what is best for you and
our communities. Select the
candidate that you believe will
do the right thing!
We still have a ‘burn
ban’ in Winkler County! You
cannot have open fires at your
residence, work place or any
other place in Winkler County.
With the current winds that
we have been experiences (for
about 200 years now!) any open
fire is a real danger.
If you are cleaning up your
property and have tree limbs,
brush and grasses to dispose of,
you can haul them to the dump
site that is adjacent to the Kermit
City Yard on W. Hwy. 302 and
place them in the big metal trash
containers from 8 a.m. until 5
p.m. Monday through Friday!
Don’t get caught dumping them
out on the highway as it is an
arrestable offense and you could
go to jail and be fined!
God Bless you and be safe!
