Bee attack at park waiting for testing
By Lisa Shapiro
Staff Writer
A possible attack of
Africanized honey bees took
place near the Children’s
Park at Pumphrey Street and
Young Street during the
Memorial Day weekend.
Fire Marshal Buster Chase
said the fire department has-
atrol car rear

An Edna Patrol car was
hit in the rear end by a vehi-
cle driven by Crystal
Richard, 32, of Edna at
10:20 p.m. on June 1 near
the Bradford overpass on
Highway 59.
Richard and passenger
James Ashley, 26, of Edna
were injured and sent to the
hospital by ambulance.
Police Chief Clinton
Wooldridge said the injuries
were not life threatening.
Passenger James Hartin,
31, of Livingston and two
officers weren’t injured.
The two Edna police offi-
cers were assisting with
traffic control. Both were
not in the vehicle when the
accident occurred.
Wooldridge said they were
stopped in the inside lane
with the overhead emer-
gency lights and directional
arrow alerting drivers to
move to the outside lane
while they were standing in
front of the patrol car.
DPS Trooper James
Vinson is investigating the
accident.
“The Edna woman
smashed into the back of
the car,” he said.
n’t confirmed that the bees
were Africanized “killer”
bees and that the department
has to send them over to a lab
to be tested before confirma-
tion. Chase said it is possible
that they were because of the
number of them that were
flying around the area.
“Africanized bees are very
aggressive and attack in
thousands,” he said. “They
react to anything that is mov-
ing or making a lot of noise.”
The fire department
received phone calls on May
25 about bees that were
buzzing around people and
animals in the area. The bees
were settled on a tree limb on
a private property. When the
limb snapped and fell to the
ground, the bees became agi-
tated and started flying
around aggressively in a
swarm. One dog had been
stung several times and was
confirmed dead at the scene.
Chase said people often get
the notion that if they are
stung by a killer bee they will
die, but in most cases people
who do die are allergic to
bees or have poor health con-
ditions.
He said people need to
look around their properties
for massive number of bees.
If there are a number of bees
they should call an extermi-
nator. Chase said the fire
department can only douse
soap and water on the
Africanized bees to suffocate

Ganado SD using iPads
By Lisa Shapiro
Staff Writer
Ganado ISD will join the
ranks of the tech savvy once
thirty teachers learn to use
their iPad tablets as an educa-
tional tool in their classrooms.
Superintendent Jeff Black
said each educator is in the
middle of being trained on
the the hand held technical
device and that it was too
early to say whether it will be
useful in the future.
The board approved the 30
Apple iPads at the March 22
meeting. The overall price
tag for the devices was
$16,000. A portion of it was
paid for through a $5,625
donation from the Parent
Teacher Association. The
rest was covered by the dis-
trict through a textbook fund.
“I think we got some good
feedback,” he said during an
administrative report.
“Everything I heard has been
positive from teachers.”
Black also said teachers
have been training on differ-
ent sites and applications on
the iPad. The board will
work on setting up a time
each day for teachers to
come in and train. The iPads
were distributed amongst
teachers in the core subjects

Running for God, self and family feels great
By Lisa Shapiro
Staff Writer
It is said that running pro-
duces endorphins that make a
person feel good. Runners
and walkers with a faith in
God will get a spiritual and
physical boost when partici-
pating in the Run For God 5K
Run set for 7:30 a.m. on
Saturday, June 16 at the
Brackenridge Main Event
Center.
Christina Mulenex and
Robyn Novak are organizing
the first-time event. The
ladies said they had the idea
to start a group that would
allow them to take something
they enjoy, pair it with their
Christian life and use it to
strengthen and grow God’s
kingdom and his family.
It all started when a group
of 25 individuals met at
Baptist Temple in Edna for
Bible study and to discuss
their running goals. Novak
said she found the Run For
God website and decided it
would be a good idea for the
group to participate in it.
“When we started the class
we talked about races,” she
said. “God told us not to be a
part of other races that
weren’t spiritually involved.
He put it all together so we
ran with it. It had all taken
form in itself.”
Mulenex said her favorite
scripture in the Bible is from
Hebrews 12:1 which says,
“Therefore, since we are sur-
rounded by such a great
cloud of witnesses, let us
throw off everything that hin-
ders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with
perseverance the race marked
out for us.”
These passages inspired
these young women to take
their faith and hit the ground
running.
Mulenex said there is a 12-
week plan in which members
of the group gradually build
up their levels of running and
walking to get them ready for
the race. Mulenex said the
group started meeting weekly
in March and continue to
meet on Mondays at 6:30
p.m. at the church.
Mulenex said her sister,
Crystal Schoener, inspired
her to run even though she
did not enjoy running in high
school.
“I never would have begun
this journey if she had not
encouraged me to give it a
try,” she said.
Mulenex and Novak were
surprised to find they have 96
entries for the race when just
a few weeks ago there were
only 35, and hope the number
grows even higher.
“We were initially thinking
10 participants would be
great,” said Mulenex.
Novak said it wasn’t hard
getting sponsors for the event
and that they have enough
money to cover the event.
Currently, there are 12 spon-
sors but donations are still
