GCISD Approves Teacher Contracts
At its regular meeting March 10, the GCISD School Board approved contracts for 32 teachers. Term contracts went to Phyllis Byrne, Kelly Baker, Carla Braden, Jerry Cannon, Ken Chandler, Charles Clarke, Bea Correa, Theresa Eoff, Perla Garcia, Kim Halfmann, Steve Hanson, Carla Hirt, Rusty Hollingsworth Melanie Hoskins, Krista Hughes, J’Layne Kemp, Misty Kinnibrugh, Shanna Kirkland, Jean Ann Kujawski, Tanya Multer, Amy Schwartz, Kristin Schwartz, Christy Seidenberger, and Jill Tubb. Dual Contracts were approved for Koby Abney, Micky Baker, Brent Kirkland, Joseph Sanchez, Alonzo Garcia and Vance Jones. A Probationary Contract was approved for Denice Bradbury, and an Independent Contract issued for Linda Jones. New Equipment for Vocational Program In a discussion of whether to buy more equipment for the new vocational technology building, Principal Ken Hoskins said that the number of vocational students will probably not be going up in the future. He said increased numbers of state-required courses are making it harder to include vocational courses in students’ schedules. Board member Tibby Niehues said that if the equipment helps just one student, we should have it. The board ultimately voted unanimously to purchase a cold-cut saw for $7,000 and a $15,000 plasma cam (a computerized torch that can cut scanned or programmed designs in metal). They declined to buy a $2,500 piece of architectural software at this time. The board spent 25 minutes in closed session discussing undisclosed real property with no action taken.
Volunteer Fire Fighters Meet
The Glasscock County Volunteer Fire Department held a meeting Feb. 28 with some 25 people present to discuss its operation during the major wildfire of Feb. 25, known as the Sterling County Fire. According to reports, it burned more than 200,000 acres in Sterling, Irion and Reagan counties. Most of Glasscock County’s fire fighters were out 20 hours before coming home. In the future, the group hopes to be able to send units in shifts, to avoid such long hours. The group designated Deputy Sheriff Keith Burnett as the person in charge who directs the group’s operations, with the person driving the lead fire truck second in command. They decided a second person should ride with Burnett to help with communications, which are key to the operation, and that each fire truck needs a second person in the cab with the driver to serve as “a second set of eyes.” The group decided that in future cases of aiding other counties, Glasscock County will operate as one unit. They will gather in Garden City before going to the location, and will fight the fire as one team. For safety, the group decided to always leave one fire truck and one maintainer in the county when they go elsewhere to fight a fire. Volunteers who can respond to a fire are asked to call the Glasscock County Sheriff’s Department first, then call Keith Burnett so there is some idea of how many people are coming. Additional Volunteers Needed The VFDs need more volunteers, and anyone who can help in any capacity should call the sheriff’s office at 354-2361 or 354-2404. During fires, many kinds of help are needed, such as locating water for refilling trucks and finding roads for equipment to travel. The group determined, with County Commissioners Mark Halfmann and Marck Schafer in attendance, that county-employed road workmen are to service trucks and equipment after a firefight is over. An updated list of volunteers’ cell phone numbers has been prepared and put in each truck and maintainer as well as given to each volunteer.
County Buys GPS Units for Volunteers
At its March 10 meeting, the Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court agreed to pay for 4 GPS units, which are already ordered, for the county’s volunteer fire departments at a cost of $800 each. The GPS capability is considered highly important in fighting wildfires, especially at night, to help the men know where they are, how to get out of dangerous situations and to help others locate them. The units, which have large screens, will be mounted on the dashboards of fire-fighting trucks. Deputy Sheriff Keith Burnett said he now has a laptop computer with GPS mounted in his sheriff’s department pickup, so he will be able to better coordinate the fire fighting efforts. County Judge Wilburn Bednar once again advocated stipends for volunteers, citing Sterling County’s program. However, Burnett, Commissioner Mark Halfmann and County Treasurer Alan Dierschke discouraged it, saying Glasscock County’s volunteers have never wanted to be paid stipends, and do not want them now. Burnett and Halfmann said what the volunteers want is for the county to continue to provide excellent equipment and training as they have in the past. Records of man-hours for each emergency run are important for future grants, Dierschke said. Burnett said log sheets are in each fire truck. New Fire Truck Here in Two Weeks A new fire truck, ordered in September, should be here in two weeks. It is a large brush truck which will cost $128,000, of which up to $108,000 is expected to be paid by a Forest Service grant. The county will pay the difference. Plans are to keep the old truck and use it as a back-up unit. A grant from Homeland Security last fall paid $9,000 for a vehicle radio and two hand-held radios, plus $900 for installation. According to Dierschke, the radio was installed in Sheriff Royce Pruit’s old pickup, which is now used first as a sheriff’s department backup, for emergency use if needed, and by county employees on county business. The hand-held radios are located in the sheriff’s office. Bidders are still needed for the project of expanding the VFD/EMS barn in Garden City. Interested contractors should contact Dierschke at 354-2415. Burn Ban Possible The commissioners mentioned the possibility of issuing a county burn ban, but took no action. Commissioner Marck Schafer said since we are under one from the state anyway, he is rethinking his opposition to such a ban. Halfmann said since Texas Forest Service personnel are in West Texas helping fight fires, it might be better if we had a ban. The matter is to be discussed at the April court meeting. County ranchers recently donated $9,260 toward the salaries of the county’s two predator trappers through the Glasscock County Animal Protection Association. Consultant Don Bonifay met with the court to begin discussion of the 2008 paving/seal coating program. He said it is possible to join Reagan County in getting bids, but the two would maintain separate projects. He said there might be some cost savings for both counties by coordinating. He warned that asphalt will cost considerably more this year due to oil prices. Coop Road and CR 280 were mentioned as needing work; Bonifay will drive other roads as well and make suggestions regarding needed repairs.

Identity Theft – Minimize Your Risk
The following information was prepared by Dr. Joyce Cavanagh, associate professor and Extension family economics specialist and Nancy Granovsky, professor and Extension family economics specialist, Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
Data security breaches across the country have resulted in consumers asking how they can protect themselves from becoming victims of identity theft. Identity theft results when your personal information is stolen and used by someone else to open new accounts in your name, access your existing accounts or to assume your identity in financial and other transactions. While it is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of becoming a victim, there are things you can do to minimize your risk. First and foremost, check your credit report at least once a year! Many people first learn they have been a victim of identity theft when they are turned down for credit because of a poor credit record. When they check their credit report, they discover accounts that they did not open. Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA), you can obtain one free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit-reporting agencies. To access your free report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll free at 877-322-8228. This is the only official website for obtaining your free report under this law. By staggering your requests one every four months, you will be able to check your report at three different times of the year. If you have been denied credit in the past 60 days, have been the victim of identity theft, are unemployed and will be looking for work in the next 60 days, or are on public assistance, you are entitled to additional credit reports. Credit bureaus charge about $9.50 for a credit report. If Your Information is Breached If you are notified that your personal information has been breached or you suspect your information has been breached, it is recommended that you notify the fraud department of at least one of the credit reporting agencies and request that a fraud alert be placed on your file. They will notify the other credit reporting agencies and have fraud alerts placed on their files as well. The fraud alert tells creditors who requested your credit report that fraud has been associated with your report. Creditors should attempt to contact you to confirm that you actually applied for the credit that generated the credit report. This should reduce or eliminate any new fraudulent credit accounts from being opened. Be sure to verify with the credit bureaus how long the initial fraud alert will remain on your account and what you need to do to extend it. The three major credit reporting agencies and their contact information are: Experian, www.experian.com; TransUnion, www.transunion.com, 888-397-3742 (credit report request), 800-916-8800 (credit report request), 888-397-3742 (fraud alert), 800-680-7289 (fraud alert); Equifax, http://www.equifax.com, 800-685-1111 (credit report request), 800-525-6285 (fraud alert). Texas law allows you to ‘freeze’ your credit files by requesting a ‘security freeze.’ A security freeze means that your credit file cannot be provided to anyone (other than your current creditors monitoring current accounts) so that an identity thief is less likely to be able to obtain credit in your name. To request a security freeze, you must make the request in writing by certified mail to each credit-reporting agency. A $10 fee applies to place the security freeze at each credit reporting agency and an additional $10 fee applies to lift it in advance of applying for credit in the future. Victims of identity theft do not have to pay the $10 fee. For more details, see http://www.consumersunion.org/pdf/security/securityTX.pdf. Guard Your Social Security Number GUARD your Social Security number! Don’t routinely carry your Social Security card with you. Leave it in a safe, secure place at home and only bring it with you when you need it. Ask these questions when you are asked for your Social Security number: Why do you need it? How will it be used? How do you protect it from being stolen? What will happen if I don’t give it to you? The answers to these questions will help you decide whether or not to give it to them or whether or not to do business with them. The decision is yours! NEVER give out personal information over the phone, in person, via e-mail or the Internet unless you have initiated the contact, you know who you are dealing with and there is a legitimate need for the information. Financial institutions and businesses will not contact you and ask you to verify account information they already have on file. Guard your mail and trash. Shred all documents with personal information before you throw it away – preferably with a crosscut shredder. Always place outgoing mail in a secure post office collection box rather than in your own mailbox to prevent your mail from being stolen to obtain your account information. Consider getting a locked mailbox or using a post office box for incoming mail. Secure your personal information at home. Use a lock box or locked file cabinet. This is especially important if you have people working for you in your home or you are having service work done . Ask your employer how your personal information is safeguarded. Who has access to it? How is it disposed of? Only carry the identification, credit and debit cards, and other account information you need. Would you remember all the things in your purse or wallet if it were stolen? Reduce Mail Requests Reduce the amount of information, requests and offers you receive in the mail. To opt out of prescreened credit offers call 888-567-8688 or visit http://www.optoutprescreen.com. To remove your name from telemarketing calls visit http://www.texasnocall.com and http://www.donotcall.gov. And to remove your name from direct marketing lists visit www.dmaconsumers.org/consumerassistance.html Use virus protection software and a firewall program on your computer. Never download files or click on links from people you don’t know or trust. For more information on identity theft visit the following sites: Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/; Texas Attorney General at http://www.oag.state.tx.us/consumer/idtheft.shtml; Identity Theft Resource Center at www.idtheftcenter.org; Social Security Administration at www.ssa.gov/pubs/10064.html.
