Paducah Postthe 75¢

A large fire broke out Wednesday centered around the Pad-

ucah City Holding Site. The exact cause of the fire has yet to be deter-mined. The blaze engulfed the entire block where the refuse site islocated, burning a large area at the junction of 2nd street and FM2876. Unchecked, the fire could have caused a great deal of damageas resident homes and apartment sites are located close to the loca-tion of the fire. Paducah Volunteer Firemen were quick to respond tothe fire and had it under control very quickly. Special thanks goes outto all those firemen who kept this blaze in check, battling it in tempa-tures above 100 degrees. It was a nasty business but thankfully thefire caused little damage to anyone’s home.

This fire was just the beginning of a week of large fires the PaducahVFD were busy with. See page 6 for a rundown of Sunday’s area grass-fires.

TDCJ Windham SchoolDistrict: An Ongoing Success Story

When you talk about schools in our area you usually talk aboutPaducah ISD, Guthrie CSD, and then of course there is Matador,Crowell, Childress ISD, just numerous schools we are all ac-quainted with and that each year, through sports, we come in con-tact with. Well, there is another school in our area, one that getslittle attention, but one that is very important, one that serves avery distinct class of students.

It's the Windham School District. Never heard of it? Well, that'squite possible. But believe it or not it is a very large and very realschool district right here in Texas and, you could really say, in ourcommunity.

Windham School district (WSD) provides appropriate educa-tional programs to meet the needs of the eligible offender popu-lation (that means the students are incarcerated, or prisoners, inthe TDCJ system) thus reducing recidivism by assisting offendersin becoming productive members of society. Studies show thateducation and employment reduce recidivism and save tax dollars(remember that sentence!) Many of the offenders in the Texas De-partments of Criminal Justice can acquire the educational back-ground and basic skills necessary for attaining employment uponrelease. The typical Windham student functions at the sixth gradelevel.

WSD academic and career and technical programs are designedto provide offenders with the skills they need to obtain employ-ment upon release. Windham provides a variety of academicclasses and Career and Technical Education to offenders incar-cerated in the TDCJ, along with behavioral change programs.

Paducah PD Makes ArrestChase Ends In Arrest

A seemingly simple stop turned into a very dangerous chase

through the back alleys of Paducah last Sunday. Paducah PoliceChief Roy Rodriguez stopped William Perkins in Paducah on Sun-day.

‘I iniattially stopped Perkins to question him for allegedly as-saulting his girlfriend on a July 3rd 2017 warrant. I did an ‘officerprotection’ pat down on Perkins and noticed he was acting verynervous. Between his actions and the inconsistancies in the an-swers he was giving me during questioning I was more than a lit-tle suspicious,’ said Rodriguez.

Chief Rodriguez said it was at this point that he discovered thepackage during his pat down. ‘From experience I knew what I hadfound, and it was at this point that Perkins decided that I had himso he began resisting arrest.’

Rodriguez said that Perkins got him in a headlock as theyfought, but he got out of it as he took Perkins to the ground.‘When we went to the ground the suspect went for my gun. Hegot ahold of it but luckily he could not pull it from the holster.’

Perkins took off on foot, and that’s when Paducah residentscame out in full force. Chief Rodriguez was amazed with the re-action from locals.

‘I was so proud of our community. As soon as the call went outwe had help from everywhere. We had firefighters out on theroad, EMS and locals were out on the street looking for the sus-pect. Sheriff Mark Box was amazing. He was so quick to react andbe there on the scene.’

Perkins was finally apprehended in the backyard of local Rick

WSD operates schools on 89 sites serving TDCJ. That's a lot ofschools!

All this information is available on the WSD/Windham SchoolDistrict website, along with much more information.

But to find out more about Windham School District, we talkedto the WSD Principal and Principal-In-Residence for the Panhan-dle Area of WSD, Mrs. Erika Moore. You may be familiar withMrs. Moore, she is a long time resident of Paducah and marriedto Tim Moore, owner/manager of Moore's Thriftway. They havetwo children, one a graduate of PHS and one currently enrolledin high school. Along with being residents of Paducah for over 20years, Mrs. Moore has been employed with WSD for seven years.Moore has a Bachelor's Degree from Stephen F. Austin State Uni-versity in Elementary Education with a specialization in Reading.She has a Master's Degree from Texas A&M Commerce in Coun-seling and a Principal's Certification from Stephen F. Austin. Shebegan teaching in 1991 and worked as a K-12 counselor and Dis-trict Testing Coordinator for Paducah ISD.

We asked Mrs. Moore of just how many WSD schools in the areashe is the director.

'I am a Principal at the T.L. Roach Unit in Childress, Texas. Iam also the Principal-In-Residence for the 10 Panhandle AreaUnits. A Principal-In-Residence is similar to a Regional Admin-istrator.'

Obviously the WSD operates a little differently than normalschools. We asked her apart from the obvious, just how the schooldiffers.

'We are the education system for the Texas Department of crim-inal Justice. Our students have the opportunity to earn a HighSchool Equivalency Certificate (HSEC) if they do not have a HighSchool Diploma or HSEC. They also can take up to three voca-tional courses in a variety of fields including, but not limited to,Automotive, Culinary, HVAC, Truck Driving, and Welding. Weoffer 42 vocational courses. Our students are offered a CognitiveIntervention course to guide them in making future decisions, aswell as Pre-Release course they can take once they are within 2years of release.

Yet another big difference is the ages of students. In prison, ed-ucation is blind to the ages of students. It simply looks at needs.

'We have students of all ages enrolled in school’ says Moore. ‘Be-havior status is a factor in enrollment. We offer a class for stu-dents under the age of 22 known as Lead and Achieve Academy.It focuses on reading but works on math and language skills aswell. We offer an ESL class as well to support students who strug-gle with speaking and understanding English. Our Literacyclasses are for students who do not have a High School Diplomaor High School Equivalency Certificate. Literacy is required forthese students and we work to help them earn their HSEC asquickly as possible.

I once attended a graduation at the Tulia unit and one particulargraduate was in his late 50's, so it is possible to earn a degree at alater age. This individual was incredibly proud and so eager tomove forward and continue his education. He is planning on con-tinuing with a vocational course to extend his education.'

But along with getting a High School diploma, students alsohave access to continuing education, Moore explains.

'We offer a Literacy program for HSEC and vocational coursesfor specialized training in specific fields. Students can earn an As-sociate's Degree, Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree if theyelect to attend college. There are college programs on severalunits. The Roach Unit is blessed to partner with Clarendon Col-lege to offer a large selection of college classes. We are the onlyunit that offers dual credit. Clarendon College has generouslygiven us 50 free slots for dual credit students who qualify for col-lege classes.'

Moore went on to say that several colleges are affiliated with theprogram. WSD and the Roach Unit campus partner with Claren-don College to offer courses to offenders who qualify for collegecourses. They offer dual credit for students who are working ontheir HSEC as well as a variety of college classes to help partici-pants work toward an Associate's Degree.

But having the courses and classes available is one thing, havingthe teachers available to teach the classes is another. Moore saysthat the teachers that teach in the WSD are just like teachers inother schools.

'Our teachers are Texas certified in the same manner as any otherTexas teacher. We do receive consistent specialized training forsafety and security purposes as well as appropriate adult Staff De-velopment training to benefit our students in preparation for theirHSEC.'

But remember, this isn't just any school. In all schools, studentsare expected to be on their best behavior in order to maintain classdiscipline and support the task of education. In the WSD, it's evenmore important that each and every student be on their best be-havior.

'Our students are expected to behave appropriately while attend-ing school,' says Moore. 'Our teachers use Social Contracts as onemethod of encouragement to promote proper behavior while inclass. The students on our campus rarely misbehave. My staffworks hard to keep our students actively involved in their educa-tion so discipline isn't an issue.'

It is interesting to note that an offender can enroll in school iftheir custody status is allowable in a school program.

'We do not discriminate due to offense,' says Moore. 'We do ex-ercise causation in enrollment based on the offender's behavior onthe unit. We want to maintain a safe working environment for ouremployees while offering a high quality education to our students.'

Still, one must remember that these are not just regular students.They are offenders and they are in prison for crimes committedagainst their fellow citizens. Some crimes are small, petty, some…not so small. Some are downright scary. But one of the points tothis story, and one of the things that Mrs. Moore was very adamantabout was that, once an offender serves his time and is released, ifhe has the tools to re-enter society, gain access to employment,there is a very good chance he will not return to the prison systemagain. That's good. That's good for you, me, for everyone. Remem-ber, your tax dollars pay for what you would call, 'extended stays'in the no frills hotel.

And that's just what Mrs. Moore and the employees of WSD aretrying to do, lower the percentage of recidivism among offenders.The best way to do this, studies show, is with education. The bettereducated, the better chance an offender will become part of a func-tioning, productive society.

I recently had the opportunity to speak to a graduating class atthe T.L. Roach Unit. I had no idea what to expect, but was verypleasantly surprised. Without knowing any of the backgrounds ofany of the graduates (there were a little over 40 I believe) I was sur-prised at how seriously they took getting their diplomas, and howmany of them were already talking about taking their education tothe next level. Most of these men were very young and I had a verygood feeling that a brighter future lay ahead for many of them. Weall make mistakes; we get involved in the wrong crowd, we are inthe wrong place at the wrong time doing the WRONG things, andsome, ah, well, we never listen to our parents! But everyone (almosteveryone) deserves a second chance. It's my belief that educationhelps with that second chance, and the Windham School Districtis one of the best places to start..

Fire Night

While a short and sweet rain burst hit Paducah in the afternoon,it wasn’t enough to ward off the fires that hit the area. In fact, thelightening from the scattered thunderboomers were probably thecause of the fires. These fires hit the area at the time we go to pressso we have very little in the way of concrete facts of cause, or theexact areas where the fires occurred. We received information froma number of sources but none of them can be completely confirmedat the time of this writing.

It seems there were several large grass fires in the area begin-ning around 1pm. Childress, Crowell, Guthrie Fire Departments andthe Texas Forest Service assisted the Paducah VFD in these fires.There were probably many more assisting, this is just what we haveat this time. The fire North of town seemed to be the larger of thetwo. The conditions, it seems to this reporter, are horrible! Dry andunbelievably HOT! With wind conditions helping out its old buddyfire. Bad? How about the worst possible conditions! The fires wehave information on are the Matador Wildlife and Bird Ranch andthe blaze just South of Prentiss Field’s house. It was on the old Vas-tine Goodwin place across the road South of the Fields. CRP grasshad burned to the road but as far as we know had not jumped theroad and firefighters had it under control after about four hours.

Jody Piper, Post editor, braved the back roads and took this pho-tographer out on the Bird Ranch for a few miles to find this abovepicture. This was a close as we were able to get. This fire seemedspread out over a large area and our prayers went out to the fire-men and women fighting this fire and the rest of them.

We were also told that Forest Service units were called in to as-sist with the Bird Ranch and Reserve fire. We also have information

indicating that there were fires on the Gibson and Y Ranch, thisone being rained out.

All of this fire action reminds me of a conversation I had with for-mer Paducah Fire Chief Randy Detwiler several months back whenhe told the Post that he had his eye on this summer and that theconditions had him worried. Current Chief Chris Wiley spoke withme briefly just a few weeks ago and he was also worried about thehot, dry, windy conditions. The harsh conditions and the abundanceof dry lightening is just like putting a match to a keg of gun powder.

A very special thanks (and many prayers) go out to the PaducahVFD, and all those Fire Departments that came in to fight the goodfight. And to all the other services and all the people who aidedthem in their battle. Without them on the line we’d be at the mercyof Mother Nature herself. And believe me... she can get HOT andMEAN!

In a cutting horse final,riders usually don’t liketo be among the last inorder because the bettercattle most likely havebeen worked.

But Grandview riderGrant Setnicka and a

mare named Ichis My Choice defied the odds. The duo were the next to last towork in the second bunch of cattle during the Classic Challenge finals of the Na-tional Cutting Horse Association Summer Spectacular on Saturday, July 22, atWill Rogers Memorial Coliseum in Fort Worth.

However, Setnicka and Ichis My Choice, a 5-year-old mare, turned in a whop-ping score of 229, six points higher than second-place finisher Beau Galyeanand Metallic Rebel.

The victory earned the mare’s owners, the J Five Horse Ranch of Weatherford,the $20,484 first prize for 5- and 6-year-old horses who are second-year com-petitors.

Despite the late draw, Setnicka said there were plenty of great cows available.“I was pretty deep in the set of cows, but the cool thing about Fort Worth is

they put five cows in for each horse, so there are usually plenty of cattle tochoose from,” he said. “I was lucky enough to have a few guys [herd helpers]find them for me.”

Galyean and Metallic Rebel, who were the seventh duo to work in the firstbunch, took the lead with their 223. It looked like the score was going to standuntil Setnicka and Ichis My Choice made their sizzling run late in the perform-ance.

Second place finisher Metallic Rebel was sired by Metallic Cat, a famous stal-lion that’s owned by Alvin, Becky, Colton and Cade Fults of Amarillo. MetallicRebel and Galyean won the 5- and 6-year-old open title at the Super Stakes, theSummer Spectacular’s sister show that was conducted in April in Fort Worth.

Leslie’s home trying to break in.‘We have him in custody and he’s going to be there for awhile,’

said Rodriguez. ‘We have him on $30,000 for Aggravated Assaulton a Peace Officer, $10,000 Tampering With Evidence, $10,000Felony Fleeing. Yeah, he’s going to be gone for awhile.’

But while this story had a happy ending, the bad guy goes to jail,Chief Rodriguez did have some worries.

‘The way the public reacted, I was so proud of our community.It just shows how many good people we have here and how muchthey care about each other, about the people, the kids here. Butthrough it all I was worried about them. I don’t want to see any-one hurt, especially civilians hurt. That’s the last thing we want.This was a bad guy. He went for my gun and someone that triesthat is someone that is not concerned with other people. I wasfrankly a little worried about anyone coming in contact with him.I was concerned that he might have somehow come up with aweapon.’

Rodriguez said that he did briefly come in contact with a femaleface to face. ‘Thankfully it was brief and he told her to be quiet.He left her unharmed, but it’s worrying to think what might havehappened.’

Chief Rodriguez wanted to thank everyone involved in helpingin the capture of the suspect, but also wanted them to rememberto be careful, always, safety first.

‘It’s hard to believe, but right here in Paducah, little old Padu-cah, bad things can happen and happen quickly. I’ve already beeninvolved in two physical confrontations in less than two months.I just want everyone to be safe and consider the situation beforeyou react.’

Beside the two altercations that Chief Rodriguez has been in-volved in there has also been a hostage/shooting incident involv-ing the Paducah Sheriff’s Department that was thankfullyresolved by the Sheriff’s Department without any harm comingto locals. So, just remember folks, this may be little old Paducah,but we are still part of a great big scary world out there. BE CARE-FUL!

Mahoney Announces Candidacy forTexas Comptroller for March 2018Democratic Primary“I want to be the Comptroller for all Texans, not just the select few

masquerading under the umbrella of some notion of political cor-

rectness. As citizens, it is long past time to begin to embrace com-

mon sense.”

Tim Mahoney has filed his Designation of Campaign Treasurer, be-ginning efforts to get on the Democratic Primary ballot in March 2018.“We are planning to get on the March Democratic ballot by having5000 Texans sign our petition. Those 5000 signatures must be pre-sented to the Democratic State Party by December 11, 2017, andwe plan to work with Texans in every part of the State to get it done.”

“It is time to end the divisiveness and stigmatization of certaingroups that isolate and disassociates them for having a public voice.Everyone knows that what you do to the least of us, you do to all ofus. This divisiveness has made finding our common core values al-most impossible; we are increasingly unable to decide what our fu-ture could be. Indeed this creates a trauma in our culture that ispainful and disabling.

“It is time to end the bitter obnoxious political language which isneedlessly hurting our state, and hurting large swaths of us, fromWomen to trans-gender youth. The Comptroller’s office should beworking with local communities to develop economically groundedprograms that ensure the success of our common economic futures,or educational systems, and the health of our citizens. That future isdependent on small businesses and communities finding a way tosafe harbors, and as the Texas Comptroller, I intend to partner withTexans to make that happen,” said Tim Mahoney.

“I want to be the Comptroller for all Texans, not just the select fewmasquerading under the umbrella of some notion of political correct-ness. As citizens, it is long past time to begin to embrace commonsense.”
