minute of it. This is the warmest com-
munity I've ever lived in. The teenagers
are mannerly and courteous. I'm im-
pressed." He also says, "I dearly love the
Lord. I would like to help the church
grow spiritually and in numers and dis-
cipleship."

Shuffield—
(Continued from Page One)
Fred Richards, public health officer.
The codes enforcement officer also is
to serve as building inspector for both
business and residential structures.
"I've found while working with ani-
mal control that mostTulia people want
to work with you," Shuffield says.
Forms and citations have been ordered
and he anticipates getting "cranked up in
the next week or two" on code enforce-
ments although some segments of the
program will not be immediately imple-
mented.
He points out that before he assumed
duties, "Tulia had never had a certified
animal control officer.” He also will be
the city's second codes enforcement
officer, as such.
Shuffield holds advanced certifica-
tion in animal control and has basic
certification as a peace officer, although
he operates on a reserve status. He was
graduated May 14.
He plans to attend future schools
pertaining to code enforcement.
Police Chief Jim McCaslin points to
community betterment in the areas of
safety, health and appearance as the
goals of having a codes enforcement
officer. He emphasizes "the safety of
our kids."
McCaslin echoes Shufficld's senti-
ments that "We want to treat everybody
fairly and equally.” Goals of the officer
in the codes enforcement arc the same as
a vast majority of the citizenry: "com-
munity betterment.”
