United States Army Private
First Class Brady Kinneman,
a 2010 graduate of Archer
City High School, got a pa-
triotic send-off on the court-
house square in Archer City
on Wednesday, October 12th.
Twenty year old Kinneman
has been deployed in Afghani-
stan for the last six months and
is returning after a couple of
weeks of leave with family and
friends. The leave allowed him
to catch up on some sleep and
enjoy some home cooking. In
an interview with KFDX TV 3
reporter Katie Crosbie he said,
"Just be happy to live over here.
Cause you got people over
there that - don't live in the best
place." In regard to home cook-
ing he quipped with a smile,
"Chicken fried hamburger pat-
ties! I ate those last night."
The flags and fanfare showed
support for a young soldier re-
turning to harm's way. Ray
"Tex" Calvert, Captain of the
North Texas Patriot Guard and
several Guard members on mo-
torcycles were on hand for the
send-off. Calvert said, "No
were overjoyed with their
new possessions. The team
also ministered through Bible
story-telling, personal letters
and pictures from their spon-
sors, and a lot of hugs. It is so
fulfilling to see God at work in
the lives of these children, and
to see the hope in their eyes."
matter what happens, they do
have our support here in the
United States."
Brady's Grandfather, Mack
Howell, went to Korea as an
Army medic and expressed
his pride and concern. When
asked what he sees in his
grandson he said simply, "I
see a soldier, and we just pray
for him every day he's gone."
Archer City High School
principal Vance Morris re-
membered, "Brady worked
hard to prove himself his Se-
nior year. I speak for many of
us here at ACHS when I say
we are proud of what he has
achieved and what he contin-
ues to do for our country."
Brady returns to Afghani-
stan from his base station at
Fort Carson, Colorado. He
is expected to be deployed
for six months. He and his
family will appreciate your
prayers, and support for an
Archer County soldier.
It was not just a game be-
tween to rival schools this year.
The Trojanettes won the volley-
ball game against the Ladycats
last Tuesday evening, October
11, but both schools won a vic-
tory for breast cancer. Together
they raised $2,381.00 through
the sale of shirts, bracelets and
donations. Fans dressed in pink
for the night’s game and pink,
decorations lined the gym.
Sponsors for the event were
Dickey McGann and Rowe In-
surance, Ranch Hand Designs,
Charlie McMurtry Welding, the
Iron Trail, and Toot’s Beauty
Salon.
Archer City ISD teacher Rhon-
da Rowe, who coordinated the
event, said, “I would like to see
this become an annual event
that continues to grow each
year. I would like to thank the
sponsors and Jackie Schroeder
and Jeanette Willett for their
help.”

The Uganda Mission Team
for 2011 has recently returned
from the African country with
a real sense of accomplish-
ment. This was the 5th year of
ministry to a group of orphans
in Kampala, Uganda, and
with Pastor Livingstone Kib-
bukka of Grace Ministries.
"We visited with the or-
phaned children at Makindye
Orphanage, which is operated
by Bishop Yusto and Or-
phan Rescue Ministries. We
purchased them new school
shoes and socks, and new bed
mattresses, along with the
usual two t-shirts we bring
them from the states. They
Smile...You’re on County Windthorst Native Helps Save Young Girl’s Life
L to R, Commissioners Darin Wolf, Darryl Lightfoot and Ar-
cher County law enforcer Jack Curd
If you are contemplating
dumping your trash on the
side of a road somewhere,
you might want to think again.
You have a good chance of be-
ing caught on camera.
For nearly three years, the
County has been working to
get a grant to buy surveillance
cameras to catch those who il-
legally dump trash and dead
animals. At last, the grant
came through and the cameras
are ready to film.
According to Darryl Light-
foot, who has been a County
Commissioner for nearly 8
years, there has been a real
problem with trash dumping
and sign stealing. The com-
missioners have been looking
for ways to remedy the situa-
tion for a long time.
Approximately 3 years
ago, a surveillance camera was
manufactured that is certain to
serve the county well in these
circumstances. Lightfoot found
a $20,000 solid waste grant
through North Texas Regional
to help the county purchase
these cameras so the taxpayers
would not have to.
Rewards for turning in illegal
dumpers did not produce results
before, but commissioners feel
assured that these new cameras
are going to catch violators, and
they can rest assured they will
be prosecuted.
Jack Curd did much of the leg
work to find the cameras after
the grant was issued.
Lightfoot said it has been a
long process, but after 3-4 years
perseverance paid off.
Archer City Graduate
Returns to War Zone
Coach Brent Reese, Kylee Shea and Coach Kristen
Neeb Goodgion
Coach Kristen Neeb Goodgion
from Windthorst was first on the
scene within seconds when 12
year old Kylee Shea collapsed
in the hallway at Maus Middle
School in Friscoe, Texas. Good-
gion was quickly joined by her
coworker, Coach Brent Reese,
and they both went into action
fast with their CPR training.
Kylee said that she was feel-
ing odd, but before she could
even sit down, she passed out,
gasped for air, and turned blue;
her heart stopped beating.
Acting quickly by administer-
ing CPR, both Goodgion and
Reese realized that she was not
responding. Goodgion ran for
an automated external defibula-
tor, a machine mandated by law
for every Texas school campus.
This machine automatically
evaluates the patient’s heart and
gives walk through instructions
on what to do. The machine told
Goodgion and Reese to “shock.”
Knowing this could kill her if

Cause

her heart was still beating, Re-
ese hesitated only for a split sec-
ond but followed through with
shock. After the second shock,
Kylee began to respond favor-
ably, and she remained stable
until first responders arrived,
and Kylee was transferred by air
to the Children’s Medical Cen-
ter.
Kylee was diagnosed with
arythmia, which is an irregu-
lar heartbeat. Doctors installed
a pacemaker and within two
weeks, Kylee was back at
school. But his would not have
been possible if Goodgion and
Reese had acted even 30 sec-
onds later, according to Kylee’s
parents; she would not have sur-
vived.
According to doctors, survival
from someone who collapses
outside of the hospital for a
child is only 3%. They are call-
ing her survival “nothing short
of a miracle.”
Fox News aired the story and
Kylee, her family, Goodgin and
Reese were all invited to ap-
pear on the Today Show with
Matt Lauer last week to tell their
story. Kylee’s mother hoped to
raise awareness for all states to
mandate having the difibulator
in every school. They know that
without the quick action of Kris-
ten Goodgin and Brent Reese
and the use of the difiibulator,
Kylee would not be with them
today. Except for a small scar
on Kylee marking the incision
for the pacemaker, she appeared
vibrant and healthy.
Maus Middle School Principal
and Holliday native Cory
McClendon said, I am so proud
of our staff here at Maus Middle
School, and especially the quick
actions of Coach Goodgion and
Coach Reese in responding to
Kylee. Coach Goodgion and
Coach Reese remained calm
throughout the incident, and
relied on their CPR training to
take over amidst this chaotic
event. They are true heroes,
and we are all lucky to still have
Kylee with us. She is an excep-
tionally strong young lady,
and it is great to see her face
here at school each and every
morning.
Kristen is the daughter of Ted
and Vicki Neeb of Windthorst.
She has been married to her hus-
band Ryan for 7years, and they
have one daughter, Nikki.
