Support Group
The Greater West Texas Chapter
of the Alzheimer’s Association
will begin a new caregiver’s
support group in Seminole the
last Tuesday of each month
Paper ’N Ink from page one.
Texas’ public education system
see a future of more consolidated
schools. Stark economics and the
need for leaner budgets will fuel
that necessity, they say. Legislative
changes may push districts toward
that end.
"Small school districts are less
cost-effective than larger districts.
Small districts must maintain lower
student-teacher ratios just to teach
the required curriculum, driving up
payroll costs -- every district's great-
est expense. That forces the state to
pay a disproportionate share of the
education bill in small districts."
The article goes on the say:
"Rep. Harold V. Dutton Jr., D-Hous-
ton who was a member of The Texas
Legislature's Joint School Finance
Committee and who also serves as
member of the House Committee
on Public Education says that Texas
should provide direct consolidation
incentives. He said he is developing
several proposals, though he de-
clined to be specific. 'We need to
sweeten the pot to make it easier
for consolidation to happen,'
Dutton said. 'Otherwise, we are
never going to get these prob-
lems resolved.'"
Another Houstonian wag
taking shots at faraway West
Texas. I wonder if this guy has
ever been west of 1-35? He is
reported to be some kind of
"expert" another term we all
have learned to shy away from,
if not fear. He hasn't a clue as to
the impact these smaller schools
have on their towns, the students
or the citizens of small places
this guy can't begin to fathom.
They live in a world of
how to handle the greatest num-
bers in the most efficient way.
And in many ways a thinking
person taking care of business
can understand that. But, some
things in our lives are, and
should always be, above costs

been re-elected to that post three
times.
Mr. Harmon is a member of
the State Bar of Texas and the College
of the State Bar of Texas, which rec-
ognizes those attorneys who maintain
the highest level of legal skills and
knowledge through continuing educa-
tion. Harmon belongs to the Seagraves
Chamber of Commerce, the Seminole
Area Chamber of Commerce, the Pow
Wow Chamber Ambassadors and
is on the Board of Directors of the
Seminole Lions Club. He also serves
on Seminole Memorial Hospital’s
Home Health Care Advisory Com-
mittee and is the vice president of the
Seminole Youth Football League. He
also has served as the Seminole Cub
Scout Master, and has been involved
with youth soccer, little league base-
ball and t-ball. “I also try my
best in church league and men’s
league softball, even if my ability
doesn’t match my enthusiasm,”
Harmon said.
Mr. Harmon has been
married for 13 years to a Semi-
nole native, the former Miss Ber-
tha Ramirez. The Harmons have
two sons, Asher, age 10 and Cal-
lum, age 6. All the Harmons are
active in church and community
activities.
In discussing his reasons
for seeking re-election, Harmon
related: “I believe that we have
achieved many good things dur-
ing my time as County Attorney.
Working with law enforcement,
the courts, the schools and the
probation department, we have
world to contemplate for all time
what it meant to fight Americans
defending their homeland.
"In 2003, when our own
legislature taxes us unfairly and
pillages the economic and social
foundation of our very community,
we... give up."
Strong talk. Needed com-
mentary on a soon to be much
debated issue on the state level.
Fair warning to anyone who
cares about their small schools ...

surely coming and soon.
confronted issues such as truancy
and juvenile delinquency and have
had great success in those areas.
We have established regular docket
calls in the County Court’, both J.P.
courts, and both municipal courts,
and gotten case loads moving in all
those courts. We have been success-
ful in punishing D.W.I. and drug of-
fenders and also had great success
in going after hot check writers,
collecting hundreds of thousands
of dollars for Gaines County mer-
chants. I thank the people of Gaines
County for allowing me to be their
County Attorney and I want to con-
tinue to work for the people of this
County, doing what I can to keep
Gaines County a great place to live
and raise a family.”

Another editorial voice made
himself clear in the Canadian Re-
cord concerning this new and fast
approaching trend in Texas. Seth
Davidson had this to say...
"When the British taxed us
unfairly and marched in an army,
we dumped their tea in Boston
Harbor, butchered them at the blaz-
