The city of Olney may be raising its tax rate thanks to tax appraisal protests that have decreased the overall taxable value of property within the city. At the Mon-day, Aug. 25, meeting of the Olney City Council, mem-bers began looking at the possibility of setting the tax rate at its rollback limit.

Up until Monday night, the council was looking at setting an effective tax rate of .692240 in order to gener-ate as much revenue as last year’s tax rate of .736805.

However, some appraisal issues have caused the City Council to instead start looking at making an in-crease to the city’s rollback

tax rate of .74619.“Due to some property

value protests we lost some assessment,” City Admin-istrator Danny Parker said. “We adopted a rate to as-sess a certain amount, and with protests that assess-ment went down. We have no choice but to make it up.”

The City Council says that the rollback rate would al-low the city to collect the same amount of taxes as the 2013 tax rate.

Public hearings on that tax rate will be held prior to its adoption.

Earlier, the council dis-cussed the installation of additional street lights. Parker said members talked at their last meeting about whether or not there were any set guidelines that dic-

tated where street lights can be placed.

er has none,” Parker said. “It’s based on the city. We can decide where we want them and they place them at our discretion.”

the meeting to allow time for the city to look at a map of street light locations and decide where, and if, any new lights are needed.

Council members also ap-proved an amendment to Ordinance 13-87, pertaining

devices within the city lim-its. Parker said the issue at hand concerned the expan-sion of school zones and ad-dition of stop signs on some side streets.

Stop signs will be installed

on South Ave. K at its in-tersection with Hamilton Street and at the intersec-tion of South Ave. L and Hamilton Street. White “20 MPH” speed limit signs with yellow “School” signs on top and effective times on the bottom will be in-stalled on Ave. H at Main, Grove at Ave. M and on Ave. K at Main.

Consideration of an agree-ment with Olney Housing Authority for an apartment

for OPD was tabled again.During the water supply

discussion, council mem-bers were informed that the city still gets a majority of its water from Lake Kickapoo.

The next meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8.

One campus falls short, requires

EDITOR@OLNEYENTERPRISE.COM

Preliminary Texas Educa-tion Agency Accountability Ratings for 2013 have been released, and the Olney ISD Trustees learned of those re-sults at their Monday, Aug. 25, meeting. Dr. Greg Roach, superintendent, gave posi-tive reports for the district as a whole before reporting that one of its three cam-

puses received the lowest of three possible rankings.

Olney ISD, Olney Elemen-tary School and Olney High School all “Met Standard,” which is the highest pos-sible rating the TEA gives since implementation of the STAAR test. Olney Junior High, on the other hand, earned the lowest rating,

Roach said proactive steps are already being taken to keep that rating from recur-ring this year.

“We’ve got issues (at ju-nior high) that we are ad-dressing,” Roach said. “The state requires you to jump through a lot of hoops when you get into this situation.”

Those “hoops” include meetings with a Region 9 ESC representative and a

TEA-approved inspector, who will assist the district in implementing changes at the campus.

“If it happens again next year, you can be forced to redo your campus,” Roach

able.”Roach said Dr. Bob Car-

penter, an approved ser-vice provider who has been working with Electra and Archer City schools, has already been chosen and should be coming to Olney for meetings with adminis-tration and staff in the very near future. Those meetings will cover everything from classroom schedules to pro-grams, curriculum and oth-er data.

Chance Fite, trustee, asked

that the district will be able to get OJH out of the hole it is in.

“We’re going to get out of it,” Roach assured. “There may be hard decisions to make, but we’ll cross those bridges when we get to them.”

According to information included in the TEA Ac-countability Rating manual online, Texas campuses and school districts are graded and ranked based on four different “Index” criteria: student achievement (Index 1), student progress (Index 2), closing performance gaps (Index 3) and post-secondary readiness (Index 4).

“Broadly based, the Per-formance Index framework consists of results from the STAAR testing program in addition to graduation rates

and rates of students com-pleting the Recommended and Distinguished Achieve-ment programs, and other in-dicators,” the manual notes.

Results for the district and campuses by index score are as follows:

math, science, student prog-ress, closing performance gaps and post-secondary education.

(13); No Distinctions. OJH did not meet standard in In-dex 2, only.

--

Roach said there are bright spots on all campuses, but that even though most are at the top of the rating system there is always room for im-provement.

“You can be happy, but if

need to get out of this,” Roach said. “Until 100 percent of everything goes your way you’ve got to keep pushing.”

Scores for the past several years will be pored over for all campuses, with special attention to OJH, the super-intendent said, in order to identify consistently weak areas that are in need of im-provement now.

“I get hammered by par-ents: ‘Why teach to the test?’” Kyle Hinson said. “I tell them because we have to.”

“It’s ok to teach to the test,” Roach said. “It gets a bad rap because of politics.”

The superintendent added that it is his personal belief that teachers should drill

students on skills they know they should have prior to the test, but that sending end-less homework drill packets home with students to cover on their own is unacceptable. He said he likes to see teach-ers who do drills on required skills, but also use projects and other lessons to effec-tively educate students and “break up the monotony.”

“The bottom line, whether we agree or don’t agree with it, is the kids have to pass those tests,” Roach said.

If the tests are not passed, Roach said that the outcome could be much worse.

“They can replace the school board, superinten-dent and campus adminis-tration,” he said, adding that the state has had to take over districts previously in Beau-mont, Hutchins and Green-ville, to name a few.

Final accountability reports will not be made public until January.

SALE: Newspaper building for sale, paper will remainContinued from Page 1 a subsidiary of MediaNews

Group. That status contin-ued until December 2013, when Singleton retired.

MediaNews Group merged with 21st Century Media in January 2014 to form Digital First Media under the own-ership of Alden Global Capi-tal of New York City. Praxis Commercial is the real estate arm of Alden Global Capital.

The decision to sell the area locations owned outright by the company, including the

newspaper buildings in Ol-ney, Graham, Breckenridge, Jacksboro and Burleson, is solely a business move that will not have an effect on current day-to-day opera-tions of any of the newspa-pers, Krecklow added. The Olney Enterprise and its sister papers will still remain a part of Graham Newspapers Inc., and will still be overseen by Krecklow and local staff.

Looking Back North Texas TalesBy Gay Schlittler Storms

Clay County prospered after the Indian Wars were over, and at one time, Henri-etta was larger than Wichita Falls.

Like Young County, when the Civil War began and federal troops were with-drawn, Indian attacks drove all of the county’s 109 citizens away. However, by 1890, the abandoned town of Henrietta had evolved into an important hub for commerce in North Texas. The progres-sion began when the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway reached Henrietta. Travelers would take the train to Henriet-ta and then ride a stagecoach to their des-tination. In the late 1870s and early 1880s the community became a shipping point for buffalo hides and bones and mining equipment.

The series of jails built in Henrietta from 1874 until 1890 illustrate Henrietta’s trans-formation from a ghost town to one of prosperity. When a person sees the three-story jail that now serves as a historical museum, a person can’t help but wonder at the “belief in the necessity” that in-spired the imposing Victorian structure. In 1890, the county commissioned Pealy Jail Building and Manufacturing Co. to build a $7,000 county prison. Besides the prison, the comfortable sheriff’s quar-ters indicated forethought and plenty of funds. Unlike other counties, their court house was a separate building, and it was quite a Victorian monument itself.

Joan Upton Hall, in “Just Visiting: Old Texas Jails,” has a logical explanation why some counties, such as Young Coun-ty, combined the two and why Henrietta didn’t:

“In the beginning, jails were built sepa-rately from court houses, but they were connected after the Civil War. If a county

When you compare the original, primitive”dungeon,”which also has been restored, to the 1890 jail, it is like con-trasting a minnow to a whale. Hall said

next jail was at least above ground, but it was tiny. The jails dimensions were 20- foot by 23-foot and the place looked airtight. This jail was built of 2-inch by six-inch beams stacked on top of each other and nailed down. However, one has

were built according to a primitive, no-frills style. Even though settlers feared a

crime wave after the Civil War, they did not spend much money on jails until they could afford it.

By 1878, city fathers felt they could in-vest $7,000 in a two-story fortress. This

locking up prisoners, but it was a pale imitation of the future 1890 jail, which would look more like a Victorian man-sion than a jail. The $24,000 jail built in 1890 was again remodeled in 1929, partly because Henrietta could afford to, but not because it needed more room for prison-ers. The county had prospered greatly from the oil boom.

As it turned out, the Henrietta jail did not have the daily hordes of outlaws that it anticipated. Describing the prisoners throughout Henrietta’s history, Hall said the main prisoners were “drunk cowboys, fence cutters, claim jumpers and cattle or chicken thieves.”

Like many small town Texas jails at the

the values of the people and the wealth of the town. The sheriff’s quarters were

cooked and helped in the daily routine of caring for prisoners. Separate cells were provided not just for women prisoners, but also for men arrested for public in-toxication.

The gallows or hanging tower as it was called was located in the basement. A double trap door and a ring in the ceiling used to hold the rope was a scene that few people ever saw because no public hang-ings were held there. Instead, a scaffold was built on the courthouse lawn so the hanging would be public. There was also supposed to be a hanging tree out by the rodeo grounds used at least once. How-ever, as in many hanging claims, there is

-ates the story.

Today sightseers can visit the Clay County 1890 Jail Museum from Thursday through Saturday in Henrietta. The struc-ture has undergone three restorations since it was built. The internal gallow, starkly bare cells and many artifacts from Clay County’s turbulent history remain.

Today Texas historians list the 1890 Henrietta jail as one of the best preserved Texas jails built at the turn-of-the century.

Henrietta was once a large city

It’s no secret that my biggest phobia is a critter with eight legs. Yes, I’m pretty much

-not function if one is near me. I was faced with a particularly big one last weekend, and it’s an experience I’d just as soon forget (but that I keep seeing in my nightmares).

Laney and I were having a Sunday at home while her daddy was out working. Just that morning he had sent me a photo of a large, hideously ugly black widow spider he’d run into while on the job – hopefully somewhere far, far away from me.

Spiders were already on my brain, but it

our big, brown visitor in the living room.I’d gone to the kitchen and was walking

back into the living room, where Laney was on the couch eating some post-nap Froot Loops, and saw it out of the corner of my eye, chilling out on the built-in cabinets and shelves there by the television. It was a little more than an inch long, legs and all, but might as well have weighed a ton as far

as I was concerned.It was ugly and posing a threat to my san-

ity and our safety. I didn’t even know what kind of spider it was – it was a spider and there’s no such thing as a “good” spider as far as I’m concerned.

What did I do? I immediately freaked out and ran to the couch, jumping up beside Laney. Well, let’s be honest: I pretty much got on the back of the couch so I could keep an eye on it and my daughter.

She thought it was hilarious.The spider was not moving much, and

it was in a crevice of the drawers where I knew taking a shoe (or other long weapon) to it wouldn’t work.

It was hours before my husband would be home, and I didn’t want it to get away. The only thing worse than the spider you can see is the one that you lose somewhere in the house, right?

Then I remembered a recent safety tip regarding wasp spray, and how it can ef-fectively incapacitate a human attacker. If

some bug spray can take down a human, surely it would take down a creepy-crawly pest right?

I told Laney to stay put, turned on a car-toon and went to get the spray. I returned quickly and the spider was still there. I got as close as I dared (like 10 feet away) in or-der to get a good aim at his spindly-legged self and pulled the trigger.

Direct hit! He had a sort of spider spasm and fell

onto the carpet. When he fell I squealed like

was dead and started to get down.Then it happened. The spider invoked

another life, apparently, and came burst-ing out from a pile of Laney’s toys. I started putting on a shoe really quickly as it made

still dazed from its spray-induced seizure. Then I thought (quite rationally of course):

to step on it I’d have to get CLOSE to it, which would give it opportunity to climb up my leg and attack and kill me in front of my child. I did the next best thing and threw a shoe at it. My ninja skills were unfortunately lacking and I think it laughed as it ran for cover on the other side of the room.

I grabbed the only other things I could

weren’t effective either, particularly since they, together, weigh maybe 2 ounces.

So there I was, trapped on the couch and

-appeared when I heard it: my husband was home early! Oh happy day!

He killed the creature and, after threat-ening to throw it on me and end our mar-riage, got rid of it safely. Yay for husbands!

I’m still thinking of moving. Where there’s one, there’s more, right? At the very least I’ll buy more effective spider-killing spray.

Those fast, knee-jerk decisions can bring heartache to you and the community.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, leasing and fi nancing of hous-ing. The law also prohibits discriminatory advertising on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, mental or physical handicap or marital status. The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The

law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference. It is the intent and goal of The Olney Enterprise for each advertiser who wishes to place an advertisement in The Enterprise to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. Any advertisement which is perceived to contain language contrary to the act will be rejected or changed to remove the offending reference(s). There may be situations where it is not clear whether particular language is objectionable. Such advertisements should be referred to the publisher for consideration and determination. Under certain circumstances, advertisers may claim that because of the nature of the housing being advertised, they are not subject to Fair Housing laws. Such claims are irrelevant for the purpose of considering advertisements for publication in The Olney Enterprise. Every housing advertisement published in The Olney Enterprise is subject to all provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.

2014 Property Tax Rates inCITY OF OLNEY

80524

This notice concerns 2014 property tax rates for CITY OF OLNEY. It presents information about

three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes

last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare

properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can

set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing

the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as

required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.

Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes $ 568,309.62 Last year’s debt taxes $ 0.00 Last year’s total taxes $ 568,309.62 Last year’s tax base $ 76,740,470.00 Last year’s total tax rate 0.736805/$100This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes $ 565,427.62 (after subtracting taxes on lost property) ÷ This year’s adjusted tax base $ 82,097,153.00 (after subtracting value of new property) = This year’s effective tax rate 0.692240/$100 (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)

This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment nancing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent health care expenditures) $ 568,309.62

÷ This year’s adjusted tax base $ 82,097,153.00 = This year’s effective rate 0.692240/$100 x 1.08 = this year’s maximum operating rate 0.747619/$100 + This year’s debt rate 0.000000/$100 = This year’s total rollback rate 0.747619/$100

In the rst year a city collects the additional sales tax to reduce property taxes, it must insert the following lines unless its rst adjustment was made last year: - Sales tax adjustment rate 0/$100= Effective tax rate 0/$100

Statement of Increase/DecreaseIf CITY OF OLNEY adopts a 2014 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of .692240 per $100 of value, taxes would stay the same compared to 2013 taxes by $0.00.

This notice contains a summary of actual effective and rollback tax rates’ calculations. You can inspect a copy of the full calculations at 201 E. Main St., Olney, TX 76374.
