gy that is now available.
“Technology now can see
who voted and who hasn’t,”
he said. “We have electronic
poll books, everyone’s work-
ing off the same poll book on
the Internet. When someone
votes, they’re marked off the
list and everyone can see the
list.”
The county wanted to
wait until next year to move
toward having countywide
polling places to avoid any
problems that could occur and
mess with the election,
Carothers said.
“If we have problems, we
wouldn’t want it to be during
a presidential election,” he
said.
Dorothy Person, elections
administrator for Lampasas
County, said this was the first
election year that the county
was involved in having this
kind of voting system.
Counties have meet cer-
tain requirements, including
having all electronic ballots,
internet connection between
all the voting places, approval
from the Texas Secretary of
State and plans to educate
voters on the new program.
The counties also have to
submit a follow-up to the Sec-
retary of State on how the vot-
ing process went. Lampasas
County had surveys available
for voters to express how they
felt about the new system.
“Our voters found it very
helpful to be able to vote at
any location on Election Day
no matter what their home
precinct was.” Person said.
“We had a lot of good feed-
back.”

jail. Lightner was later trans-
ported to the Federal Court in
Waco and placed in the custody of
the U.S. Marshall’s Office with no
bond.
According to the original
press release, police responded to
the call around 10:14 a.m. The
suspect entered the bank located
at 210 Constitution Drive on the
morning of Sept. 27 and went up
to a bank teller. He gave her a note
demanding money, and bran-
dished a handgun. The teller was
not physically hanned. The sus-
pect had been described as a black
male, about 6 feet tall, unshaven,
wearing a ball cap and dark or
burnt orange shirt and blue jeans.
An undisclosed amount of money
was taken.
Keller thanked the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the
Killeen Police Department for
Beshanksy were on the scene.
Sheldon said not much was
known at the time, but that the
police department would investi-
gate, reconstruct the accident to
learn what happened and check
for possible drive or bike mal-
functions, then send the report to
the state for statistical purposes.
James said the curve is a dan-
gerous spot, especially when driv-
ers do not slow down. Bertha
added that there have been a few
accidents on the curve before;
their mailbox was hit six months
ago and a driver rode into the
neighbor’s yard about a year ago.
A few houses down resident
Jody Reese also said the curve
was dangerous, as many drivers
speed through it.
“It’s terrible. They need to
put something in there,” Reese
said about how the city needs to
address the spot. “I’m scared to let
my kids play in the front yard.”

city secretary Jane Lees, 43 percent of eli-
gible voters participated in the election.
Coryell County now closed-range
Coryell Country residents voted yes
on Proposition 1 addressing livestock and
no on Proposition 2 addressing other ani-
mals. Proposition 1 addressed adoption of
the livestock law, where livestock owners
are responsible for keeping their animals
off of county roads, while Proposition 2
addressed letting animals such as horses,
mules, donkeys, hogs and sheep roam free.
With the approval of the first proposition
and denial of the second, Coryell County
is now officially closed-range.
“What that means is cattle and turkey
are not allowed to run at large,” Coryell
County Judge John Firth said.
There were 7,249 votes for Proposi-
tion 1 versus 4,395 against, and 3,632
votes for Proposition 2 versus 10,160
votes against, Firth said.
Firth said he wanted to stress that
many ranchers and livestock owners in
Coryell County already do a good job of
fencing their animals in.
He also wanted to emphasize that the
county and sheriff want to work with
ranchers and livestock owners, not penal-
ize them.
“Ranchers should not be concerned
about getting tickets just because one of
their livestock gets on a public road,” he
said. “This is not the county clamping
down on people. We want to work with the
ranchers and ensure that the closed-range
laws are implemented in a way that fairly
and effectively supports everybody.”
David Freeman, a rancher in the west
end of the county, said he asked Firth why
there was no set law on whether Coryell
County was open or closed-range.
Firth told him that in order for the
issue to be brought on the ballot, it had to
be introduced by a citizen. Freeman
researched the issue and got other people
on board.
“I just did my civic duty,” he said.
“The state doesn’t let the county officials
bring this up so I did. Then they [county
officials] did, then the voters voted.” he
said.
State Representative District 59
Dr. J.D. Sheffield won the State Rep-
resentative race for District 59 against Bill
Norris with 78 percent of the vote.
Sheffield said he was pleased with the
results and will work to represent all the
citizens of District 59.
“We feel it’s an honor to represent
Coryell County and District 59, he said.
“Our plan is to vote the needs of District
59, and not for personal or political gain.”
Sheffield said on Jan. 5 new candi-
dates move into their new offices in Austin
and on Jan. 8 they are sworn in and begin
the legislative session, which will run until
May.
Sheffield said he plans to return to the
area on the weekends and on days when
the legislature is not in session. As for his
practice, the other doctors will take on
some of his patients and a mid-level prac-
titioner will be hired to cover other
patients while is away, he said.
“I’m still a full-time doctor, a part-
time legislator,” he said.
Voting numbers
There were 9,207 people who voted
early and 16,798 voters total in Coryell
County, according to the early voting
sheet sent out by tax assessor-collector
Justin Carothers and the unofficial Coryell
County general election report.
Beyond the Election
Firth said the county will canvass the
votes on Nov. 14 at 9 a.m. in the court-
house to ensure all votes were counted and
there were no voting irregularities. After
that the votes will be sent to the Texas
Secretary of State, where votes from all
the counties are canvassed again.

great progress of their race on
this continent. Texas will stand
by the flag of the United States
against any nation on earth.”
With eerie accuracy he pre-
dicted the consequences of a
post-war policy based upon
recrimination rather than recon-
ciliation. Harsh treatment “will
cause the hearts of men to ran-
kle with the sense of injustice,
and a feeling of bitterness which
will pass from generation to
generation.”
And, Roberts went on, the
fonner slave would suffer most.
“The negro, from being the sub-
ject of kindness as he is now,
may be loathed and hated as the
cause — the unconscious victim
— of a feeling he had nothing to
do with producing.”
As the dark curtain of
Reconstruction dropped on
Texas and the South, the unseat-
ed senator saw the future quite
clearly.

we’ll be crowned and welcomed,
not as mere citizens, but as part of
the king’s own family.
I know all these things
because the king Himself told me
so. Yep. He wrote me a long letter,
called The Holy Bible. The more
I read it, the more excited I get
about all the good things waiting
for me. Plus, I already have access
to much of the king’s treasury,
right here, right now.
Read for yourself. You can
have access to it too.

From Page 4A
Gratitude acknowledges our depend-
ence on others and the debt we owe
because of it. Grateful people want,
somehow, to return the favor of their
undeserved windfall. It is a sentiment
that, in the jargon, is "pro-social." A lead-
ing figure in its study, Michael McCul-
lough of the University of Miami, main-
tains that it binds us to others beyond the
ties of family and of commercial transac-
tions.
Gratitude is at the root of patriotism,
of the impulse to preserve and improve
our patrimony. In a culture that tends to
celebrate self-glorification, gratitude
points us beyond our own demands and
discontents. It inclines us to see all
around us a world of gifts.
What did we do to inherit a country
that is free and prosperous? To deserve
Charlie Parker or Mark Twain? To build
the Golden Gate Bridge or the Chrysler
Building? To measure up to the beauties
of the Catholic mass or the Mormon Tab-
ernacle Choir? Or
simply to prove wor-
thy of traffic lights
