By JOE GONZALESFriday, current Littlefield

Chief of Police Albert Garcia wasannounced as the new chief ofpolice for the City of Levelland.

In a press release from the Cityof Levelland, city manager, RickOsburn said the city was excitedto join their team.

Osburn said the city had re-ceived about three applicants toreview and evaluate.

Littlefield City Mayor EricTurpen said, “We appreciate theprofessionalism and hard workthat Chief Garcia has exhibitedwhile serving Littlefield. He is agood man and will makeLevelland a great Chief of Police.I personally wish him the best andwill miss him.”

Garcia’s final day in Littlefieldwill be June 23rd and he will be-

gin serving as chief of police forLevelland on June 26th.

Garcia said since the first dayhe started his law enforcementcareer, he’s always wanted towork in Levelland.

“When I first decided I wantedto be an administrator in law en-forcement, I always thought itwould be really neat to be thechief of police in Levelland,” saidGarcia. “I started my career thereback in 1992 at the college (SPC)

and I went to work with theLevelland Police Department in1995 and left in 2005.”

Garcia said when he leftLevelland, they had a 21-man de-partment.

Garcia, at that time, said he feltlike he had already reached theceiling as far as advancementwent.

“When I left the Levelland Po-lice Department in 2005, I wantedto gain more knowledge and ex-

perience to maybe someday be-come the chief of police inLevelland...and that chancecame,” he said.

The press release from theCity of Levelland reads: “Aftergetting an Associates degree inLaw Enforcement from SouthPlains College in 1992, Garciabegan his law enforcement ca-reer with the SPC Police De-partment. He moved to the

Tuesday night, Littlefield CityCouncil met in regular sessionand handled many items on theiragenda.

The first item up for discussionwas the emergency repair to asewer manhole drain that includedfour lines and one eight-inch mainthat runs down West third.

Because the brick manhole hasdeteriorated so much, LittlefieldCity Manager Mitch Grant saidthe city couldn’t fix the problemwith their own equipment. Thiswas due to the depth of the line,shoring and safety issues.

The estimate for the total jobis less than $30,000.

Kevin Skinner, Director of Pub-lic Utilities said the repair couldtake some time getting startedbecause of objects in and aroundthe area of the repair.

But Skinner told council mem-bers they were looking to startgetting the area prepped for re-pair on June 5th, and the crew thatwould fix the issue would be onsite June 15th.

The next item to garner a goodamount of discussion was to ap-prove a new hangar lease at themunicipal airport.

Earlier in the year, a citizen anduser of the airport built a smallhangar for his ultra-light aircraft.Grant said there was no record ofthe hangar being approved to bebuilt from the city council.

City Mayor Eric Turpen askedif the hangar had been built with-out the city’s permission, andGrant said yes. The city managertold the council, that the AirportManager had given the citizenpermission to build the hangar.

Turpen asked Grant if there wasnow an understanding at the air-port that wouldn’t allow this tohappen again. Grant said yes.

The mayor said this was a learn-ing experience for the city, but ifthis were to happen again, that theperson constructing the buildingcould run the risk of having to dis-mantle whatever was built.

The council approved a newlease for the individual to storehis ultra-light at the airport. Withthe lease, the lessee agrees to payannually, in advance, the sum of$.16 cents per square foot. Thiswould require the lessee to pay$97 a year for the land lease un-der his hangar to house his ultra-light at the municipal airport.

A Cup of Joe...By Joe Gonzales

I can’t believe it, but another yearof school came to an end.

It seems like just yesterday wewere dropping off Diego, Emmaand Clarissa for their first day ofclasses.

Diego was nervous entering thelast year of elementary.

Emma was excited about start-ing her final year of primary, whilelooking ahead to elementary.

As for Clarissa, well, let’s just saygetting her out of bed was a victoryfor us.

So, as Friday came and went, ourkids are moving on.

Diego will be starting his firstyear of junior high next year.

I’m still in shock over howquickly he seems to be growing.

I promise, it feels like just yes-terday he was graduating from kin-dergarten.

But here he is, getting that muchcloser to being a teenager.

I can’t believe we’ll have a teen-ager in just a couple of more years.

I asked him how the year was andhe loved it.

He said he’s going to miss histeacher very much and most of allhis principal, Mr. Whistler.

Just like primary, Diego loved hisyears at Littlefield Elementary, asdid us.

Never once did I feel Diego hadteachers who didn’t care about himor how he was doing.

We knew each and every singleday he was receiving the best edu-cation possible.

We also knew they, his teachers,weren’t going to let him fail.

Early this year, Diego receivedhis first-ever pink slip. Jessica andI were shocked. As were his teach-ers.

He was having some troubleswith math, and we were worried.

The next day, all his teachers metwith us for a conference (whichdidn’t have to happen) but they tookthe time to do so. It made a lastingimpression on Jessica and me couldtell all his teachers were really con-cerned and wanted to make sure hesucceeded. That meant a lot to us.

So thank you to Mr. Whistler andall the staff at Littlefield Elemen-tary. We appreciate everything youdid for Diego. Because of you, weknow our son will be ready to hitthe ground running when he beginsjunior high.

As for Emma and Clarissa, theyboth had another great year atLittlefield Primary.

Emma loved her teacher Mrs.Herrin and so did we.

She did an outstanding job withour little princess this year. When Ichecked out Emma early Friday,Mrs. Herrin was already emotional.She loves her kids...you could seeit.

I know she learned a lot, and Mrs.Herrin and the rest of the staff atLittlefield Primary prepared her forthe next level.

Emma is excited about leavingprimary and says she ready for el-ementary.

The thought of going to a “big-ger school” is exciting to her.

I’m not going to lie, I got a littleemotional while writing about myEmma. She’s my little princess andshe’ll always be my little princess.

To this day, she’ll still ask me totell her the story of the day I firstsaw her. And while I tell her thestory, she sits in my lap and justsmiles at me.

The story goes: “Emma, I’llnever forget the first time I reallylooked at you. I saw you being born,but when the doctors cleaned youall up, they brought you back toyour mom’s room and laid youdown in the bed next to her.”

Jessica got up and went to the restroom and I seized the opportunityand laid down beside my littleEmma.

“Emma, I remember you openedyour little eyes and we just staredat each other. I know you smiled atme and had this overwhelming feel-ing of love come over me. It wasthe greatest feeling ever. From thatmoment, you where my little prin-cess, and just remember, you’ll al-ways be my princess.”

With that, she leaps off my lapand runs to play.

As for Clarissa, she had a goodyear. I’m not going to lie, shestruggled some this year.

It was tough, but she made it.We struggled with the decision

and decided to send her to summerschool.

We were hesitant at first, but af-ter talking with several staff mem-bers, we realized she needed theextra help.

Although she struggled this year,we are still grateful for everythingMrs. Richards, Mrs. Rodriguez (herteacher), Mrs. Sewell and Mrs.Miranda did for her.

After talking to each of them, wefelt a lot better with our decision. Itwas a little hard for Clarissa to un-derstand, but we’d rather her go toschool for a few extra weeks thanstruggle next year.

I know everyone has differentopinions on schools and teachers,but here’s mine...we love LittlefieldISD.

I knew each and every day, thatboth staffs at Primary and Elemen-tary wanted the best for not only mykids, but I’m pretty sure everyoneelse as well.

You know they care. You can seeit and feel it.

As the three (not so little) stinkiesget older and make their way up theeducational ladder, I know as longas they attend Littlefield ISD, wehave nothing to worry about.

So, from me and my family….we say this to everyone fromPrimary all the way up to Mr. Rob-ert Dillard, Littlefield Superinten-dent, thank you. Thank you for car-ing about our children and makingsure they are receiving the best edu-cation possible.

I hope everyone has a great sum-mer, because, before you know it,school will be back in session.

Be blessed folks!

GARGARGARGARGARCIACIACIACIACIAContinued from Page 1Levelland Police Department in1995 where he worked for nine ofthe next 10 years rising to the rankof Sergeant. He then leftLevelland to expand his experi-ence, including working with TylerTechnologies and serving as acriminal investigator for the TexasAttorney General’s office. Mostrecently he spent eight years asChief of Police in Idalou beforetaking over the Top Cop job inLittlefield two years ago.”

The release also said Garciaearned both Bachelor’s andMaster’s Degrees from WaylandBaptist University. To this day,Garcia continues to serve as anAdjunct Professor in the CriminalAdministration Program.

But, Garcia is still grateful foreveryone and everything his pasttwo years in Littlefield.

“Littlefield helped me accom-plish my next goal,” he said. “Ican’t thank the citizens ofLittlefield, the city council, themayor and the city manager forgiving me the opportunity to behere.”

He added, “They let me do mything and shown them what I coulddo with this department. I think thedepartment here in Littlefield hasmade strides and is moving for-ward.”

Among those strides, Garciasaid the department implementednew types of programs such as thebody camera program and alsoadvanced the departments tech-nology. This was done by increas-ing the departments technologicalinfrastructure. The departmentalso developed a new missionstatement.

“I feel very blessed; eventhough I’ve only been here twoyears, I feel like we were able toget some things done here at thepolice department,” said Garcia.“I hope citizens see in the offic-ers, that I’m leaving the depart-ment in a better area than it waswhen I got here. I think every chiefwants that if and when they leave.I feel like I’m leaving a goodlegacy behind here in Littlefield.”

Garcia said Littlefield is fortu-nate to still have such outstandingpolice officers.

“These men and woman comein here and do the job day-in andday-out,” he said. “They don’tcomplain. They get out in any con-dition, and do this with a smile ontheir face. They provide the bestservice for their community.”

Garcia said he hopes the depart-ment will continue to push forwardwith some of the concepts andphilosophies he’s instilled.

“One of the big things I pushedaround when I arrived was the cus-tomer service aspect of this job,”said Garcia. “Often times policedepartments aren’t known as cus-tomer service-friendly-type, butthat’s something we strived to doand be better at. I hope the com-munity has seen that, and I hopethe department continues to pushthat.”

In thinking about his time inLittlefield, he continued, “Anotherthing I told my staff was, I hopethey don’t think one of the reasonsmy wife and I moved to Levellandwas for this purpose,” he said. “Wehad been in the market and look-ing for rental property inLittlefield and that’s hard to find.We were very blessed to havefriends offer a rental to use inLevelland, and it was a big home.It was something that fit the needsof our family at the time.”

Garcia said there was no visionof applying for the Levelland po-sition at the time.

“I believe that God works inmysterious ways and he opensdoors when he needs to open thosedoors,” said Garcia. “I feel likethat’s what happened here.”

Garcia added, “Chief Cowanwasn’t planning on retiring asquickly as he did. He was plan-ning on being there three to fivemore years. But his three to fiveyears turned into three to fivemonths.”

Cowan reached out to Garciabecause he knew of his interest inone day becoming the chief ofpolice for Levelland.

“I wasn’t pleased to hear Cowanwas retiring, but it meant a lot tome that he reached out to me. Itmeant a lot that he would have thatmuch trust, and ask if I’d be inter-ested in his spot.”

will consider and take appropriateaction to negotiate the purchaseof LHC Family Health ClinicBuilding from Covenant HealthSystems.

They will then adjourn.

a public meeting to approve an or-dinance repealing the current zon-ing ordinance and map, they ap-proved the item.

In a memo to the council, Grantlaid out a complete overhaul of thezoning rules.

The most notable changes he pre-sented to the board were: elimina-tion of the “exception” due to pos-sible problems, ramifications andspot zoning issues; expansion of the“special use” section to includesome of the uses once allowed byexception; special uses go beforethe P&Z and not the BOA (as anexception); some uses that havebeen allowed by exception are nowallowed without exception (ex-ample: duplexes and townhousesshould be allowed in multi-familywithout an exception of specialuse); new sign regulations added forcommercial; outdoor storage rulesfixed to allow better enforcementand they would also discusswhether or not to leave the “usechart” out (it is a duplication and apossible conflict issue).

The council then considered andapproved the award of a downtownrevitalization program bid.

The program would provide afacelift in downtown Littlefield withsome standard repairs.

The most notable repairs wouldbe the replacement of all the ADAramps and replacement of the oldrusty drainage covers.

The city will still be able to re-pair the entire main street, insteadof one block like the city initiallybelieved. But the entire wish-list thecity had, may not be done with thedowntown revitalization project.

Next up, the council consideredand approved an ordinance of thecity council amending the code ofordinances in regards to game

rooms and amusement redemptionmachines.

Grant told the council this neededto happen so they could be ready ifthey get a request for any type ofeight-liner businesses in Littlefield.

The ordinance sets guidelinesthat allow those type of operationsto come in, but it also gives the citythe ability to keep their most unde-sirable aspects away.

Some of the highlights are: gamerooms must pay for a license andinspection that costs $500 per yearper machine, plus $2,500 per yearfor each game room; guidelines onoperating hours, parking and manyother restrictions; A $500 a day finefor violation of operating rules; zon-ing restrictions to C-2, M-1 and M-2; excludes regular arcade deviceslike pinball and crans where youjust win a replay or a prize and theguidelines also include a distancerequirements from church, school,daycare and hospitals.

Council members then approvedthe renewal of an ordinance estab-lishing a curfew for juveniles.

The ordinance makes it unlaw-ful for a person 16 or less of age tobe or remain in or upon a publicplace or any establishment withinthe City of Littlefield between thehours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., the fol-lowing day. On Fridays and Satur-days and nights proceeding schoolholidays (not including summer va-cation) the hours are 12 p.m. until6 a.m.

It is also unlawful for a person16 years of age or less to remain inor upon any establishment betweenthe hours of 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.on a school day, with the exceptionof Littlefield ISD lunch hour.

The meeting concluded with thecouncil approving their budgetschedule.

SportsJett Hartley heading to Sul RossHartley inks NLOI to play baseball for the LobosBy DEREK LOPEZ

Littlefield catcher, Jett Hartley,will be continuing his playing ca-reer at Sul Ross State Universityafter signing his Letter of Intentwith the Lobos Friday morningin the Littlefield High School Li-brary.

“It’s a blessing, I’m ready todo i t ; th i s i s wha t I havedreamed of my entire life, is toplay at the next level and toachieve that goal is somethingamazing,” Hartley said.

Har t ley was a four -yearstarter as catcher for the Wild-cats.

“He was a four-year starterfor me ,” Mi tch McNeese ,Head Baseball Coach said. “Iknow when he came in, he wasjust a pup. He lacked armstrength, but he was one of thebest blocking catchers I’veever seen. That year, when hewas a freshman, I gave him achance back there and once hestepped on the field and playedcatcher, he never stepped backoff of it. He played every gamefor me from that day on.”

He added, “He’s been great,he has developed; after thegames he puts in the extra time,he made up his own drills, hehas just done a whole bunchof things to help get him to thepoint where he is, and he didthat all on his own. He had thedrive and desire to do it him-self and he had a dream of go-ing and playing college balland he made it come true.”

Hartley talked about whenhe decided that he was goingto try and make it to the nextlevel, saying, “My freshmanyear, I came in and started onvarsity; I thought it was a longshot. My sophomore year Iwas getting better, my junioryear was one of my best po-tentials, and senior year I re-ally thought I had an opportu-nity, so through my freshmanyear for sure [is when I decidedthat I want to play collegebaseball].”

Hartley talked about the re-cruiting process, saying, it wasvery stressful.

“There were several timesduring the year when I wouldhave a bad game and think to

my self, crap. Almost everysingle game I would think tomyself, I have to have a goodgame, because I have to goplay college baseball.”

He added, “I’m glad it’s overwith, I’m glad that I’m actuallysigned. That stress is taken offof my shoulders and now I canstart preparing.”

Hartley talked about the sup-port he has gotten from hisfamily, saying, they’re amaz-ing. “They’ve re-ally cared. At the beginning,they told me, ‘Hey it’s sixhours away, are you sure youwant to do this’? But, theygave me that choice and I’mvery grateful for that. They’regoing to support me in every-thing that I do and I will for-ever be grateful for that.”

Hartley also talked aboutwhat it has been like playingfor Coach McNeese these pastfour years, saying, “Wordscan’t even describe playing forthat man. He’s an amazingcoach, just everything he doesfor his players. I can’t even tellyou how much respect I havefor him. To me he’s not just acoach, he’s more like a fatherfigure to me, he would for surebe my second dad, I wouldn’ttrade him for nothing.”

Coach McNeese recal ledsome of his favorite memorieswith Hartley, saying, “Just see-ing him grow and get bettereach and every year and ofcourse the favorite part of it issophomore year when wemade that run to state and howgood and how much confi-dence he got and then con-tinuing two more years.”

He added, “But, the favoriteabout ‘The Judge’ is what hewas able to do during thatstate run and then after that,how he led the team and wasalways a leader, always posi-tive and there to pick peopleup and put pressure on them.He’s just one of those guys,who is going to be hard tolose, because he is such agreat leader, because I tell you,he has been there forever.”

Heather Hartley, Jett’s momtalked about her son’s accom-plishment and what it has been

like watching him grow overthe years into the ball playertha t he i s today say ing ,“We’ve been really blessed,his work ethic compares to noone. He works very hard, hewould lay in bed at night andwatch videos on Youtube ofcatchers.”

She added, “He has been acatcher since he was four-years old. I would get mad athim at night, because he wouldbe watching catching videosafter I told him to go to bed.

After every game, he would beout there catching, havingpeople throw balls to him, sothat he could work on block-ing. He just really works hard,we are really blessed; God hasopened a lot of doors for himand we’re very thankful forwhat we’ve been given andwhere he is going to go withit.”

Hartley said that he is look-ing forward to go ing upagainst greater opponents ,working out, getting better and

just getting to play at the col-lege level.

“I expect to work. I’ll be thelow man on the totem pole,freshman coming in,” he said.“I’ve got a lot of work to do,you can always strive to bebetter. I’m going to work hardand get some playing time,those are the goals.”

Coach McNeese ta lkedabout the kind of player thatSul Ross is getting in Hartley,saying, “You will have a manthat will be the hardest work-

AUSTIN – This month marksthe 15th anniversary of the “ClickIt or Ticket” campaign, urging Tex-ans to buckle up. The NationalHighway Traffic Safety Adminis-tration (NHTSA) estimates thatsince its inception 15 years ago,the life-saving campaign has re-sulted in 5,068 fewer traffic fatali-ties.

However, from 2015 to 2016,deaths among people not wearingseat belts increased 9 percent.

“Wearing a seat belt is the singlemost important step a person cantake to protect one’s self in a crash,and in Texas it’s the law,” said TexasDepartment of Transportation Ex-ecutive Director James Bass.“People make a lot of excuses fornot buckling up, but those excuses

‘Click It or Ticket’ Campaignsaves more than 5,000 lives

will not save your life or preventyou from getting a ticket. The factis, it only takes a few seconds tobuckle up and it could mean the dif-ference between life and death.”

According to NHTSA, since itsinception 15 years ago, the Texas“Click It or Ticket” campaign hasnot only saved thousands of lives,but also prevented more than86,000 serious injuries and savedTexas more than $19.3 billion in re-lated economic costs. When the“Click It or Ticket” campaignlaunched in 2002, only 76% of Tex-ans used their seat belts. Today,nearly 92% buckle up, but 8% stilldon’t, and the number of peoplewho don’t buckle up doubles to16% at night.

In 2016, 994 people died because

they weren’t wearing seat belts –an increase of 9% over the 908unbelted fatalities recorded in 2015.

Wearing a seat belt helps keepoccupants from being ejected in acrash and increases the chancesof surviving by 45% in a car, andup to 60% in a truck. In Texas, thelaw requires everyone in a vehicleto buckle up or face fines and courtcosts up to $200. Children youngerthan 8 years must be in a childsafety seat or booster seat unlessthey’re taller than 4 feet 9 inches.If they aren’t properly restrained,the driver faces fines up to $250plus court costs.

Along with TxDOT’s annual“Click It or Ticket” campaign ef-fort, police departments in Texasand across the nation will step uptheir enforcement efforts from May22 to June 4.

29 children and teens havedrowned in Texas this year.

Memor ia l Day Weekendmarks the beginning of sum-mer, but also the start of themost dangerous period forchild drownings – MemorialDay through Labor Day. Lastyear, 107 k ids and teensdrowned in Texas and 29 havealready drowned so far thisyear. While the Houston andDallas-Fort Worth areas havebeen trouble spots in the past,there is no dominant patternthis year.

The Department of Familyand Pro tec t ive Serv ices(DFPS) urges Texans to “watchkids around water” this holi-day weekend and all summerlong to prevent more tragedies.

“Drowning is totally pre-ventable, but it is also silentand very quick,” said SashaRasco, who leads DFPS pre-vention programs. “It onlytakes a few minutes for a childto drown. So, please be a life-guard for every child aroundyou by keeping a constant eyeon them around water.”

Swimming pools, especiallybackyard and apartment pools,are the most dangerous forchildren. More than half of thechild drownings in Texas thisyear happened in pools. Othercommon locat ions includelakes, ponds, and rivers andother natural bodies of water.Hot tubs and bath tubs arealso culprits and almost anywater can be dangerous to atoddler, even a toilet. Childrenunder the age of one most of-ten drown inside the house,while older children most of-ten drown outdoors. Mosttoddlers who drown are out ofsight less than five minutes.

DFPS is working to get theword out to parents to “watchkids around water” as part ofits Help for Parents, Hope forKids campaign. DFPS is run-ning a $1,000,000 ad campaignaimed at parents. From Aprilth rough Augus t , some ofthose ads are water safetymessages. As a result, Texanswatched the campaign’s watersa fe ty v ideo on Facebook141,503 times in April alone.
