Dry conditions could return quickly
BY ROSEMARY SMITH
editor@ navasotaexaminer.com
Despite recent rainfall
and a burn ban lift, one
fire chief remains con-
cerned about drought con-
ditions and the possibility
of out of control burns.
Grimes County re-
ceived as much as seven
inches of rainfall this past
Saturday. But that’s still
not enough to make up for
a lack of rain this past
summer, according to
Plantersville-Stoneham
Fire Chief Michael
Briggs.
Briggs, who not only
assisted as assistant fire
chief during the wildfires
of 2011, but also acted as
incident commander of
the recent Dyer Mill II and
Dogwood Gulch wild-
fires, said once winds dry
out the brown grassy
areas, it won’t take long
for dry conditions to cre-
ate possible fuel for fires -
especially control burns
that are unattended.
“Burning debris is not
the issue. Unsafe and un-
attended fires are the con-
cerns,” the chief said. “It’s
wet but, as soon as the
winds pick up, the fuel
will dry out.”
So far this year, Briggs
said his department has re-
sponded to numerous con-
trol burns that were
unattended. Since the burn
ban was lifted last week,
the department has al-
ready responded to several
that were out of control.

FFA, formerly known as
Future Farmers of America,
has been raising leaders
since 1928. Anderson-Shiro
High School senior Alea
Carrel 1 is no exception.
This past summer, the
Texas FFA chose Carrell as
a Ford Leadership Scholar.
This past Saturday, Carrell
led young and old alike in a
community service project,
called “Project Anderson,
Planting New Roots,” in
her hometown of Anderson.
“From FFA, I have
learned what it truly means
to be a leader. Many people
conceive FFA to be only
about showing animals and
how to be a farmer. How-
ever, it prepares you for real
world situations, such as
giving speeches, communi-
cating with businesses and
professional people, learn-
ing how to present any kind
of presentation, plus much
more,” said Carrell, who is
the daughter of Julie and
Stephen Carrell.
Besides Master Gar-
dener members, 17 Ander-
son-Shiro students -
involved in FFA, National
Honors Society, athletics,
student council and Family
Career and Community
Leaders of America - along
with other residents, as-
sisted with the project that
included cleaning side-
walks, and replacing old
flowerbeds with new ones.
“It was not hard to get
students involved. Ander-
son-Shiro has an amazing
student body that is always
willing to support their fel-
low students,” said Carrell.
“They were not only able to
get community service
hours for applications and
