time volunteering with several
other civic organizations,
choosing to work mostly with
“cancer causes.” The new vice
president is a cancer survivor
and tries to volunteer as much
time as she can to helping in the
fight against the disease.
Herzog spent several years
working with now-district attor-
ney, B.J. Shepherd. She also
spent 14 years working in the
Texas Criminal Justice System
managing seven female com-
missaries. Two of those 14 years
she served as assistant to Mae
Jackson.
Useful in all areas of her life,
she says that her degree in
counseling and substance
abuse helps her to see a lot in
people.
Herzog is also a member of
the Trinity Lutheran Church.
Already having been through
the large events sponsored by
the Chamber — Oktoberfest,
Chamber banquet, Home Tour,
and others — Herzog believes
she is ready to tackle this year’s
lineup.
“I do plan to harass Trudy (a
former long-time Executive
Vice President) a lot,” said
Herzog. “She’s always been a
great help to me.”
Herzog also said that she’d
like to carry on with a few things
that Dr. Sills started.
Although she didn’t deolanf
an official position, she said tirat
the issues surrounding thfe
TransTexas Corridor were be-
ginning to catch her attention
and vowed that the Chamber
would-“stay on top” of the mat-
ter.
“I’m also excited about the
possibility of Clifton becoming
a retirement community,” she
said. “I certainly want to keep
working in that direction.”
Saying that she looks forward
to the upcoming challenges of
the Chamber events set this
year, Herzog is certainly gear-
ing up for what she considers an
extremely important job to Clif-
ton.
Now with the opening of the
office manager position, the
Chamber will begin searching
for a suitable replacement for
Herzog. Those wishing to apply
are directed to the Texas
Workforce Commission to fill
out an application.
Ketter concluded, “We believe
she will effectively and energeti-
cally lead the Chamber and busi-
ness community, work diligently
to attract new business and in-
dustry to Clifton, and promote
Clifton and the surrounding area
at trade shows and to visitors and
potential residents for our com-
munity.”

Bosque Bum Ban In Effect
By David Anderson
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
MERIDIAN — At Monday,
July 10’s session of Bosque
County Commissioners’ Court,
county officials elected top
leave a ban on outdoor burning
in effect.
Widespread rainfall was seen
across Texas in late June and
early July, including Bosque
County. However, most of the
coverage was spotty, and some
areas of the state are still criti-
cally dry.
Emergency Management
Coordinator Dewey Ratliff pre-
sented the court with current

(July 10) and 14-day outlooks of
the Texas Forest Service’S
Keetch-Byram Drought Index.
The index shows Bosque
County currently in marginal
drought conditions which are
expected to worsen consider-
ably.
Court members, taking the
reports into account, chose to
leave the current outdoor burn-
ing ban in place.
Outdoor burns conducted il-
legally in Bosque County will be
extinguished by area fire de-
partments. Bosque County
deputies can, at their discre-
tion, issue a written warning or
a citation. Failure to adhere to
the ban is a Class C misde-
meanor, and can result in a fine
of up to $500.
Those burning illegally can
also be held liable for damages
to other property should the
burn get out of control. In
Texas, escaped debris burning
is the leading cause of wildfires.
The ban does not prohibit
outdoor burning activities re-
lated to public health and safety
conducted for firefighter train-
ing; by public utility, natural gas
pipeline, or mining operations;
or for the harvesting of agricul-
tural crops. The ban does not
apply inside municipalities, but
instead, outdoor burning is
regulated by those cities.
To report a bum ban violation
bum or any fire needing atten-
tion of area firefighters, call the
Bosque County Sheriff’s office
dispatcher at (254) 435-2363, or
dial 9-1-1 in an emergency situ-
ation.
