On Friday evening, Feb. 21, Gra-ham resident Jennifer Ellis went on a plane ride with local pilot Jim McIrvin to take aerial pictures of Graham.
The amateur photographer was excited for the opportunity, but her enthusiasm quickly turned to dismay as she eyed and took pho-tographs of Lake Graham and Lake Eddleman.
“I was amazed to find just how low the lake was,” Ellis told the Graham Leader via email.
She posted her pictures, some of which show boat docks many yards from water, onto her Facebook ac-count, and she said that several of her friends responded to her post with equal alarm.
At the last Graham City Council meeting, City Manager Larry Fields warned that stage 3 water restric-tions may have to be implemented
as early as this spring, as both Lake Graham and Lake Eddleman, Graham’s primary water source, are currently at 51 percent capacity.
In order for stage 3 restrictions to be mandated, capacity must reach 45 percent.
According to a recent report from the National Weather Service, three states, including Texas, experi-enced a drier than normal winter, resulting in an overall worsening of already dire drought conditions heading into the spring months.
The report states that although rainfall percentages in states such as Texas and Oklahoma typically increase substantially in the spring months, projected amounts for the 2014 spring do not look good.
According to the NWS findings, “for the next three months there is an equal chance of below, above, or near normal precipitation across all three states (Texas, Oklahoma and

Leslie Booth, co-owner of Wild Brush Studios in McKinney, and her sister-in-law, Woodland Elementary School teacher Jayme Hayes, decided recently to host a painting night to raise funds to benefit the Freedom Care Warrior Project’s Warrior Ranch.
Hayes has been involved with FCWP since summer 2013, when founder Jon Van Winkle invited her to volunteer there. After a few sessions, Hayes came up with the idea of hosting a painting
night and presented it to her sister-in-law, who eagerly agreed.
“I thought that it would be a good fundraiser and get people to know about FCWP,” Hayes said.
The FCWP is an organization that de-livers direct support to physically and psychologically injured combat veter-ans through innovative, outdoor-based therapies and pioneering research.
One of the many beneficiaries of the FCWP is U.S. Army Veteran Major Rex Vehrs of Flower Mound. He has not only spent time at the Warrior Ranch but volunteers his time by spreading
the word about FCWP and participat-ing in events.
“I help out my fellow wounded warriors and (am) getting them helped out with the Freedom Care Warrior Project,” said Vehrs. “(The FCWP is) about the service member, the vet. They sponsor events

Things are steadily moving for-ward for the Graham Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau.
CEO of the newly combined civic organization Jennifer Conway re-cently hired Sarah Barron as the new Convention and Visitors Bureau coordinator.
Among an extensive list, one of Barron’s main roles in Graham will be strengthening the city’s image as a destination for tourism, meet-ings, conventions and events. Also included in her job description is web development and maintenance in the promotion of Graham, out-reach and support for conventions
and events and interaction with business professionals, government officials and the public.
“The Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau is extremely excited to have Sarah join our team,” Conway said. “We believe her experience coupled with her personality will be an incredible asset to the tourism program.”
Barron’s experience is extensive. She most recently served as the coordinator of presidential services and communications at Texas Tech University from 2011 to the present.
Barron has also worked at Texas Tech as both a graduate and re-search assistant, and worked for the State University of New York, Maritime College as an orientation graduate intern, among other tasks
working to improve the overall stu-dent orienta-tion experi-ence at the college.
Barron cur-rently has a master’s de-gree in higher e d u c a t i o n , and expects to attain her Ph.D. in higher education in May, 2016.

Editor’s note: This is the second half of a report that continues an ongo-ing series on the damage caused by meth addiction.
Kayce Bullock is the CASA Co-ordinator for North Star CASA. She works at Virginia’s House in Graham, and though she has no specific data, she estimates that roughly 80 percent of the cases her organization works with involving children removed from their homes are removed because of the meth addiction of a parent or guardian.
“Certainly meth has devastating effects on the community and on
the family, but I think ultimately it is children who suffer the most,” Bullock said. “The risks to the safety and well-being of children who are under the care of meth-abusing parents are numerous. We are seeing babies born with meth in their systems and children testing positive for meth.”
Bullock said that she does not see high success rates involving children being returned to meth-addicted parents or guardians. She explained that in addition to the immediate risks and effects of meth exposure in children, there are many long-term emotional and behavioral problems that can occur because meth changes the wiring of the brain.
According to Bullock, children often come to the attention of Child Protective Services (CPS) because they are found alone and wandering the streets. After getting high, meth users can sleep for several days, leaving any children in the house unsupervised. These children are forced to fend for themselves, and in some cases are trying to fill the

The Young County Commissioners Court’s decision to search for bids for the demolition of the old law enforcement center on the Square proved fruitful Monday, as six dif-ferent bidders drove the price down even further than what commission-ers were already calling a great deal at $34,700.
That price was set by a more than year-old, but not yet solidified
contract between the county and Matrix Demolition, and for several months proponents of the demoli-tion said that it was likely the best deal the county could get. But when the company found out that Young County officials were seeking bids for the demolition, it decided to lower its price $6,000 to $28,700 for a salvage-style tear down that allowed Matrix to keep whatever scrap materials were in the building.
Matrix representative Rodney Mays said that the new price did
not really change what the county would have received for $34,700, and that the bidding process ren-dered it necessary for Matrix to lower the price.
Commissioner Matt Pruitt called the price a slam dunk, and the com-missioners court ended up voting to accept the new contract from Matrix.
“I still feel we made some modifica-tions to the Local Government Code
Aerial photos reveal vast lake depletion
Recent aerial photos taken by Graham citizen Jennifer Ellis displays just how depleted the lakes have be-come. Graham Public Works Administrator David Casteel said that short of heavy rainfall, the city is likely to implement stage 3 water restrictions as soon as late May or early June.

couple of years, and what better way to do that than jumping right in and working for the Graham Chamber of Commerce and Convention &
Visitors Bureau,” said Barron, whose first day at her new job was Monday, Feb. 24. “Being raised in Vernon has allowed me the chance to visit Graham for sporting events, FFA, and UIL – so, in a way I feel like I
am getting the opportunity to come home. Graham is a very special place to many people, and I look forward to working with the city and the Graham Family while we strive to ac-complish our goals.”
such as hunting and fishing, offer up a ranch not only for (veterans) but their families, which is integral in the heal-ing process just to have an opportunity to go to a place that is so peaceful and quiet.”
Vehrs said that at the ranch, veterans give each other tactical techniques and pro-cedures (TTPs) to help each other deal with issues and challenges they commonly face.
“It’s been a benefit to many of us in many different ways,” he said.
Vehrs has been in the U.S. army for more than 20 years. He served in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and throughout his military career, he has amassed his share of injuries.
As an airborne ranger, he often jumped out of planes while carrying 80 pounds of equipment. Ground impact from all of his jumps has resulted in two hip replace-ments and a neck replace-ment.
“I’m 46 going on about 80. I’m like a 2002 Yugo that’s got 900,000 miles on it,” he said with a laugh. “I’m pretty banged up. Between training and combat, I’m about ready to retire. I hate to give it up, but the body is saying ‘no more.’”
Vehrs said that despite the difficulty, his military service has been rewarding and he would do it again if he could.
“The FCWP is providing great service to us,” Vehrs said. “It really means a lot to us that people are recognizing what we did and offering to help with some of the chal-lenges we face when we come back home.”
One of those challenges, Vehrs said, is the lack of rec-
ognition from American civil-ians after a soldier returns to the states after service.
“FCWP says, ‘We appreciate you...’ It goes a long way in the healing process in coming back from war,” Vehrs said.
Hayes and her sister-in-law are two people who see the value of helping wounded sol-diers, whether their injuries are physical, psychological or both. For them, the deci-sion to do what they could to help the FCWP was an obvious one, and they feel grateful that they were given an opportunity to use their respective talents to benefit a worthy cause.
Cost for the class is $35, and it will be limited to 12 students for two classes. Booth will provide participants with a photo of their choice and will teach them the main brushstroke technique for the background of the art piece. She’ll then instruct participants individually on how to complete each paint-ing. Painters need not have any talent to participate.
“We need all the donations
we can get. It is so impor-tant because the soldiers never have to pay (to use the ranch),” Hayes said.
Since the painting night will take place at the Warrior Ranch, Van Winkle said, the painters will get the chance to see where their money is going.
“It raises awareness about what we do — (it) helps people understand that what we’re doing is making a differ-ence and it gets the word out,” he said. “We’ve had veterans come in from all over. If a vet needs help, they can utilize the ranch as a getaway to clear their mind and enjoy time with family.”
Vehrs said that in the end, the FCWP is a vehicle of hope for those in need of healing, led by people who under-stand how to provide that help because they’ve been there themselves.
“They are giving an oppor-tunity for vets to continue to serve vets and the commu-nity, which I think is crucial,” he said. “It’s about serving others, and FCWP gives us that opportunity.”

“The most heartbreaking meth cases are those that re-sult in a child death,” Bullock said. “This is a very real, very dangerous problem, and it’s happening right here in this community. Day in and day out, CASA volunteers are seeing and dealing with the effects of meth on children and families.”
For Michael Haupt, a current Graham resident who had his first child in 1981, meth use started as a casual habit. Even by 1986 when he and his wife divorced, he said that he had his usage under control. He still saw his children.
By the early 1990s, he said that’s when everyone started noticing the effects of his drug use.
“At times, I’d go to mom and dad and try to get money out of them,” he said. “I was trying to con them out of money just so I could have enough to go get high.”
He said that during that time frame, he tried his best to maintain what he called a “good front.” But his efforts to seem like an upstanding citizen slowly stopped fooling anyone. The friends he palled
around with were growing more suspect, and in one incident, someone he knew from his drug circle tried to frame him for a murder in New York.
He was eventually taken off the suspect list but remained scared and paranoid. He testi-fied against the person who tried to frame him, but even that incident wasn’t enough to get him to quit using meth. By that time, Haupt said that his kids were no longer talk-ing to him.
“Just more and more, I had that ‘I don’t care’ attitude,” Haupt related. “And I guess my kids just started noticing that. I guess they were ask-ing themselves. ‘Does Dad really love me? Does he care about me?’ They kept seeing me strung out and high. And I didn’t want them seeing me that way, but sometimes they still did.”
In Bullock’s experience, Haupt was one of the lucky ones. Prior to working for Virginia’s House in Graham, she also worked for a similar
programs in Wichita Falls. She said that the problem of meth addiction destroying families isn’t exclusive to one community, state or even country, and that once addic-tion to meth kicks in, it is an incredibly difficult road back to a healthy family dynamic.
“You can’t mentally be pres-ent when there’s meth abuse,” Bullock said of addicted par-ents. “Probably in 85 percent of the cases (in which a child is removed from a home due to meth use), I don’t think we’re getting reunification.”
Bullock said that when a child can’t be placed back in the home he or she was removed from, if adoption doesn’t hap-pen, then they can languish in the system for years.
In terms of the rise of meth addiction, Bullock doesn’t believe that the problem is a new one, but does worry about its growth.
“I don’t think it’s a new phenomenon. I just think it’s rapidly increasing and becoming more and more of an issue,” she said.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2014 THE GRAHAM LEADER • 3LIFESTYLESCruisin’ to find a cure for cancer
BY JULIANNE MURRAH
The Cruisin’ to Cure Open
Car and Motorcycle Show
is about more than new or
classic vehicles, though the
medium through which it
pursues its main goal is a
nifty one.
In its third year, the show
will kickoff the 2014 Relay
for Life fundraising season,
and will boast motorcycles
and cars of all years, makes
and models, in the name of
finding a cure for cancer.
Martha Floyd, car show
chairman and account chair
for Graham Relay for Life,
started the show in honor
of her father, who passed
away due to cancer 10 years
ago. Her father, David Dunn,
fought prostate cancer for
nearly three years, and Floyd
joined his fight by participat-
ing in Relay for Life events
locally and nationally. Relay
for Life is a fundraising event
for the American Cancer
Society, and will take place
June 13 and 14 at Newton
Field.
“We walked for my dad
all night long, and my sons
were there and they walked
and everything. And I got
involved with Relay here
because of my dad," Floyd
said.
Her father succumbed to
the disease after it spread
throughout his body and
into his brain.
“He was always a strong
person, and to see him lay
there and not be able to fight
back anymore just tore me
up because that wasn’t my
dad laying there,” Floyd said.
“My daddy was my hero,
and he fought it till the end,
and now I’m picking up that
fight.”
Additionally, Floyd has a
few friends who are battling
cancer. Her brother-in-law
has it in his nasal cavity and
has just gone into remission,
and her husband, Weldon
Floyd, has had skin cancer
removed several times.
“This is the reason I relay
and help — this is my way of
trying to fight back for those
like my dad,” she said. “I’ve
had other family members
that have passed away from
cancer, and cancer makes
me mad.”
The Floyds had always
participated in car shows
before — Weldon with his
1980 Corvette and Martha
with her 2007 Corvette.
Martha attended a Relay for
Life Car show in Henrietta
years ago, which inspired
her to start the Relay for Life
Cruisin’ to Cure Car Show in
Graham.
Last year’s car show
brought in 76 entrants, and
show registration fees and
vendor sales raised a total
$2,500. All of the money
goes to a fund dedicated to
Graham Relay for Life, and
will be tallied after the race
takes place.
“The funds that we raise
here, some of it gets brought
back into our area for those
that need it, whether it be
travel expenses, treatment,
lodging for treatment, wigs,
prosthesis, anything like
that. The other goes into
research,” she said.
Sponsors for the car show
include O’Reilly Auto Parts,
Ciera Bank, Mike Sipes State
Farm, Woodmen of the World
Insurance and the American
Cancer Society.
The show will begin with
entrant registration at 9 a.m.
Saturday, March, 15, on the
Downtown Square. Cost to
register is $20. Entrants are
welcomed to register the day
of the show. At the show,
cancer survivors, those who
are fighting cancer and care-
givers may register into the

Relay for Life system for the
future Relay for Life banquet,
luminaria and survivor/care-
giver walk in June.
Luminaria bags for the
Relay for Life will be avail-
able for purchase at the car
show. It’s never too late to
join a team to help the cause
of finding a cure for cancer.
“I have one granddaughter,
and I don’t ever want my
granddaughter to have to
hear that she or her someone
she loves has cancer. And I
don’t want her to have to
go through seeing someone
(suffer),” Floyd said. “Our
slogan is ‘We fight back.’ So
that’s what I’m doing. I know
that it takes money to fight
for research, how to stop
this, how to treat it, how to
sustain someone’s life that
has it, and how to, when you
have it, make the quality of
life better. I feel like this is
my way of helping anyone
else out there that gets it.
I know it’s a wishful dream
(to stop cancer), but without
dreams and a fight, there’s
no need to go on.”
For information about join-
ing or forming a Relay for Life
Team, call Amber Boland at
(940) 521-1687. For informa-
tion about the car show or

Blues go all out at regional meet, three make stateBY TRAVIS LISLE
[email protected]@travlisle on twitter
Three Lady Blues are head-ing to the state meet in Corpus Christi after the Blues put on an outstanding show at the regional powerlifting meet in Wylie.
“These girls peaked at just
the right time,” coach Brad Lang said. “They were com-peting like no other meet all year.”
Madison Shook, Sydney Smith and Maria Melendez were Graham’s qualifiers, while Catlin Lewis, Angelica Camacho, Meagan Paschal and Bailee Green were all in high contention to get to the
state meet as well.Shook and Smith ended up
winning their weight classes.Melendez finished second
in her weight class, Padron came in third, Lewis finished fourth, while Camacho, Pas-chal and Green came in fifth.
For Smith and Melendez, the road to state almost didn’t happen.
For both lifters, it took one final push to seal the deal.
“It came down to their final lift for the opportunity to make the state meet and they were successful,” Lang said. “They’re going to the beach with Madison.”
Others who didn’t make the final cut to go to the state meet didn’t lack the effort.
On the contrary, the major-ity of the girls competing put up their best numbers to date.
“Camacho attempted more on her last deadlift than she’s ever lifted, all in an attempt to make it to the state meet,” Lang said. “What more could you ask for? Meagan Paschal, Camacho, Green, Lewis, Pa-dron and Annie Slavings all
recorded personal bests.”Lang went on to say that he
was extremely proud of all of the girls who spent much of their spring training.
The Blues finished third as a team and Shook came away second among all finishers.
The state meet will take place Friday, March 14, at Corpus Christi.

The Steers double-header with Snyder certainly could have gone better.
Graham lost both games, the first 8-6 and the second 16-5.
In the opening game, the Steers were down 6-0 in the third inning when Bryce Reeves jacked a solo home run over the left field wall to put Graham on the board.
A Snyder error or two, along with some solid situ-ational hitting from Hagen and Hunter Hughes, David Groves and Jim Bob Perry led to a five-run inning that put Graham within two runs of Snyder.
However, both teams went scoreless in the final three innings and Snyder got the opening-game win.
In the second game, Groves got the start on the mound and gave up five earned runs in four innings.
Though it seemed like tough times for Groves, relief pitch-ers Ben Davis and Connor Smith had even more difficult showings.
In 2.2 innings, the combi-nation of Davis and Smith allowed 10 earned runs while the Steers could only manage five runs total.
The losses were tough for Graham, but coach Allen Mc-Gee sees better things down the road for this group.
“Anytime you replace nine players with younger guys, there’s going to be some learning curve there,” McGee said. “We’ve done a good job of hitting the ball, which is usually where drop-off oc-curs when guys are getting their first varsity experi-ence.”
It was Graham’s inability to throw strikes that got Snyder on base and in position to score.
Eleven walks to two strike-outs shows the Steers defi-ciencies at getting the ball across the plate.
That being said, Groves and Smith have proven them-selves capable of getting the ball across the plate in the past.
It is just a matter of trusting themselves against varsity-level hitters that seems to be the next step for the junior and sophomore hurlers.
After a two-year hiatus from the game, Davis too should find better command as the season progresses.
The Steers will simply have to learn from Saturday’s tough experience and get back on their feet.
The bats are there, and if this team can make the rou-tine plays and find the strike zone, they are fully capable of
putting some wins together.The Steers will play in the
Snyder Tournament starting Thursday, Feb. 28.
Steers suffer tough losses in double header with Snyder
Gone in 60 secondsActually, it was more like 60 milliseconds from the time Bryce Reeves hit this ball to the time it landed on the other side of the left field wall for a solo home run. The Steers struggled Saturday, losing twice to Snyder, but Reeves’ bat was impressive all day. (Photo by Travis Lisle)
Varsity and JV get first and second at home tourneyBY TRAVIS LISLE
[email protected]@travlisle on twitter
The Steers gol f team
showcased their domina-
tion Monday when they
not only finished first in
their home tournament,
but also came in second
as well.
With a score of 336, the
Steers varsity team won
the Graham Tournament
by a large margin, and with
a 365, the JV Steers edged
Throckmorton by a single
stroke.
Even more good news
for the Steers, all of their
district opponents were at
the tournament and failed
to keep up with the Steers
varsity or JV.
Spencer Skidmore’s score
of 81 led the Steers and won
the tournament individual-
ly, while Ryan Buchanan’s
85 was good for third.
Also impressive were-
Brody O’Dell, who shot an
86 and Coby Bryant, who
shot an 84 with Parker Oli-
ver coming in fifth for the
Steers with a 112.
Justin Escalon led the JV
Steers with an 87, while
teammate Peyton Modesitt
followed closely shooting
a 90.
Dakota Cauthen shot a
93, Harrison Brown shot a
95 and Conner Riddle shot
a 104.
After Throckmor ton’s
third place finish, Mineral
Wells came in fourth with
a 378, Burkburnett shot a
407 to come in fifth, Cisco’s
408 was good for sixth.
The JV Steers will play
again on Tuesday, March
4, at Runaway Bay, and
the varsity Steers will be
at Sugar Tree Golf Club on
Friday, March 7.
Win, go home, or do bothThe Steers varsity and JV posed with coach Michael Todd in the middle. The two teams finished first and second in the Graham Tournament Monday. All of Graham’s varsity opponents were there and couldn’t find a way to keep up with the low-scoring Steers teams. (Photo by Travis Lisle)

8 • THE GRAHAM LEADER WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2014 www.grahamleader.com
BY TRAVIS LISLE [email protected]
@travlisle on twitter
The Lady Blues softball team had an “up and down” experience in the Brewer tournament at the end of last week.
The Blues hit three home runs in Thursday’s opener against Arlington Bowie that led to at 14-6 Blues win.
Without Lexie Allen pitch-ing in the second game, Graham struggled and ul-timately lost to Cleburne, but the Blues came back on Friday to take on possibly their toughest opponent to
date and fought a great fight.Facing Brewer, a team with
a pitcher who is signed with the Oregon Ducks alongside four other Division I com-mits, Graham held its own.
Through four innings, Allen went pitch-for-pitch with the top recruit keeping the score 0-0.
Lanna Plaster hit a two-run home run, and the Blues held the star-studded opponents to only one earned run.
Unfortunately Graham al-lowed six unearned runs and lost the game 7-2.
“We had our young mo-ments,” Blues head coach Philip Irby said. “We played
well for a large chunk but just lost our grasp late in the game.”
The Blues seemed to get those “young moments” under control when they beat Breckenridge Monday night 11-1.
Plaster hit another home run and the Blues played a much-better defensive game.
This is a team that is trend-ing upward as long as they can handle the pressure and make the necessary plays.
The Blues will try to con-tinue their success at the Sunrise Optimist Tourna-ment starting Friday, Feb. 28.
Blues continue to grow
Rounding thirdCoach Philip Irby waves Lexie Allen home after a big hit. The Blues are growing into their own and showed that Monday with an 11-1 win over Breckenridge. To continue their success, Graham will have to keep from making errors defensively and throw strikes. (Photo by Travis Lisle)

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, leasing
and financing of housing. The law also prohibits discriminatory adver-tising on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, mental or physical handicap or marital status.
The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict ac-cess to housing based on the pro-tected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference.
It is the intent and goal of The Graham Leader for each advertiser who wishes to place an advertise-ment in The Leader to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. Any advertisement which is perceived to contain language contrary to the act will be rejected or changed to remove the offending reference(s).
There may be situations where it is not clear whether particular language is objectionable. Such advertisements should be referred to the publisher for consideration and determination. Un-der certain circumstances, advertisers may claim that because of the nature of the housing being advertised, they are not subject to Fair Housing laws. Such claims are irrelevant for the purpose of considering advertise-ments for publication in The Graham Leader. Every housing advertisement published in The Graham Leader is subject to all provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.

New Mexico). The forecast through May calls for the drought to persist or worsen in New Mexico and much of south and west Texas and western Oklahoma. Also, drought is forecast to rede-velop across portions of far west Texas and south Texas.”
“If we have a normal spring, then stage 3 could go into effect as early as June of this year,” Public Works Admin-istrator David Casteel told The Graham Leader last week. “But if we have a relatively wet spring, then that could be put on hold for another year.”
Casteel added that the city is currently in stage 2 water restrictions, and already sev-eral residents have violated restriction mandates.
“In the last couple of weeks since it started warming up, our guys have knocked on the doors of about 25 houses of people not following water re-striction guidelines,” Casteel said. “It’s getting to the point where we’re going to have to start issuing tickets to people who don’t abide by the law.”
Under stage 2 restrictions, outside watering is limited to twice per week and only between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. Addresses end-ing in even numbers may water only on Thursday and Sunday. Addresses ending in odd numbers may water only
on Wednesday and Saturday. Failure to comply can be a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more than $1,000.
According to Casteel, short of what he described as sev-eral good, soaking and runoff rainfalls in the near future, Graham will have to imple-ment stage 3 restrictions by late May or early June.
Young County Extension Agent Brad Morrison said that another water concern for the county pertains to soil dryness.
“We usually have a store-house reserve of moisture in the soil, and at this point, it’s very depleted,” he said. “We are in need of an 18 inch rain in a short period of time to start refilling the lake as well as the soil profile.”
Morrison said that on a positive note, recent survey readings suggest that Lake Graham and Lake Eddle-man haven’t suffered from water silting in terms of the their ages, meaning that the amounts of water the two lakes are currently holding are higher than what was expected in terms of when they were impounded in 1929.
“I would say that has to do with our conservation practices as ag producers, and the maintaining of water grass pastures has been done correctly,” Morrison said. “So as a result we’ve had less soil erosion.”

in order to do this,” Commis-sioner Mike Sipes said of the court’s decision to search for competitive bids from other companies. “It ended up working out, but if we start setting the precedent that we will take bids for everything that costs under $50,000, it could hamper our ability to get things done efficiently.”
Sipes added that another factor in the lowering of the price could be recent raises in the value of metal.
Commissioner Matt Pruitt said that he agreed with Sipes regarding the rising value of scrap metal and its role in Young County’s savings.
“The value of the metal really helped,” Pruitt said. “But for me, saving the tax-payer is key. Even if we save the taxpayer only $1,000, it’s still $1,000.”
Five other companies made bids for the demoli-tion, the next cheapest com-ing from Redco Industrial Services out of McGregor, who bid $35,000. Redco’s offer included a copy of notification of how many tons of steel would be re-moved from the building, as well as a leveling off of the
soil once the building was demolished and removed from the site.
Gibson Trucking Company out of Graham also provided a low offer at $36,900. Gib-son’s bid stipulated that bond and insurance would be provided, all salvageable metals would be sold to Gra-ham Iron and Salvage and it would keep all money made from the metal sale to offset the cost of the demolition.
In a local, personal touch, Gibson’s contract offer also stipulated that all debris from the demolition would be disposed of at Mike Young’s place off of Highway 380 near Newcastle, and Young would then donate $15 from each load of brick and concrete hauled to Graham substance abuse center Turning Point (Ma-trix, however, will also use Mike Young for concrete disposal).
Many steps still exist prior to the building’s demolition, including an asbestos abate-ment. County Judge John Bullock noted that traces of asbestos had been found in the tile adhesive under the carpeting in the offices and under the flashings of the roof, and that a full re-port should be available on Wednesday, Feb. 26.

Due to low lake levels, Graham residents are currently under stage 2 water restrictions. That means outside watering is limited to twice per week and only between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. Addresses ending in even numbers may water only on Thursday and Sunday. Addresses ending in odd numbers may water only on Wednesday and Saturday.
