...by Jack White: County Exten-
sion Agent-Ag
Familiesare unusual entities that
sometimes are a source of pride and
sometimes a source of embarrass-
ment. Today I want to spend a few
minutes talking about part of our
family in Extension. The Texas
Forest Service is a sister agency
within the Texas A&M University
System. This particular set of kin is
definitely a source of pride within
our system.
Unfortunately, names bring
mental pictures that are often quite
quite limiting. Such is true of the
Texas Forestry Service. We see the
name and automatically associate
them with the management of wood-
lands. Now granted, they do a great
deal of work in woodlands, but that
is not all they do by a long shot.
The Forestry Service is, as I
mentioned earlier, involved with the
establishment and management of
woodlands. In fact, they will be
assisting with the planting of over
5000 acres of pine trees in 1991 in
Cherokee County. They are abo
involved in various timber stand
improvement practices such as
prescribed burning and estimating
timber inventories. Again, these are
things that you might expect. It is
the other things they do they are of
service to all of us and often go
unnoticed.
The Forest Service plays a major
role in rural fire suppression. Each
year, hundreds of calls are received
concerning grass and woodland fires.
As long as the fire is out in the open,
most rural fire departments have
little difficulty with extinguishment.
Once they get back in the woods, it
is another story. That is when they
call the Texas Forest Service. Few
people are aware of the untold hours
spent fighting woodland fires. Most
are unaware that these calls come
in all times of the day and night; and
especially on the weekends. There
is no question that thousands and
thousands of dollars are saved
annually through their efforts.
Another area of service for the
Texas Forest Service is in emer-
gency management. Without excep-
tion, The Forest Service is the best
trained and equipped group for the
management of large scale disas-
School news reported in Wells
Marie Hill's seventh grade class
had a guest speaker on Tuesday.
Ben Benson representing the U.S.
Forest Service in the Davy Crockett
National Forest. Benson is cur-
rently a world traveler and is a
volunteer Wilderness Ranger with
the U.S. Forest Service. He spends
about four months each year as a U.
S. volunteer Wilderness Ranger in
Alaska.
Benson has worked with various
government agencies throughout
the United States and Africa and
has developed a series of 30-45
minute slide programs to share with
students ofthe East Texas area. His
programs emphasize habitat and
endangered species along with ef-
forts to save them.
Benson will return to the elemen-
tary school on Friday, Jan. 25 to
preset a series of programs to all
students from K-12.

guest last Friday and this Tuesday

capped. The guest was Michael

classes can use the lab. "We are

cilities so we can continue to pro-

dents in this age of technology," said
Mrs. Durham.
Tuesday will be the first day of
sales of used school furniture on the
elementary campus. New furniture
haB replaced the old furniture in
four classrooms. The students will
have first opportunity to purchase
any desks or chairs available and
then the public is invited to pur-
chase the remainder. The location
of the sale is in the auditorium on
the elementary campus.
Hayes, a senior at Stephen F. Austin
State University in the Elementary
Ed. Department with an endorse-
ment of Visually Handicapped, and
Orientation and Mobility. Hayes
brought tools for the visually handi-
capped for the students to become
familiar with and taught them how
to use the cane. He also taught them
how to be a sighted guide for the
visually handicapped. Hayes
brought materials for the students
to use and examine that were printed
in braille. The students were very
interestedand excited about the ma-
terials and information he shared
with them.
Three classes enjoyed parties they
earned for the contest of the best
decorated doors at Christmas. Acoke
and ice cream party was given to
Peggy Hayes' fourth grade class for
being first place winners. Lynn
Smith's sixth grade class received a
coke party for being awarded sec-
ond place. A candy treat party was
awarded to Bea Glover's third grade
class for being awarded the third
place winners.
Mrs. Muse, the elementary prin-
cipal, is pleased to announce that
the Writing-to-Read Lab has been
installed and will be in operation on
Monday. Jane Durham is the new
Computer Lab Instructor on the ele-
mentary campus. The Kindergar-
ten, first, and second grade students
will be the students assigned to the
lab. Plans are being made to add 13

ters. Whether it is a hazardous
material incident or a hurricane,
the Texas Forest Service is called in
first, they bring stability and order
to a very unstable and chaotic situ-
ation on a regular basis. Few resi-
dents may be aware that the Dep-
uty Coordinator for emergency man-
agement in Cherokee County íb our
area forester.
So far, all I have addressed makes
sense. Most of usjust never thought
about it. The next area however,
goes above and beyond the call of
duty for this group, the office of the
Texas Forest Service in Cherokee
County have been very active dur-
ing the past years in Community
Development. An example would be
the recruitment of a timber mill
that would take advantage ofthe re-
sources in or near our area. In many
other areas of development, they
have worked closely with the Texas
Chamber of Commerce, local cham-
ber of commerces, advisory groups,
and just interested people.
Certainly, every staff member of
the Texas Forest Service deserves
recognition. To name all them would
probably be impossible, but I would
like to name their leader. He is a
gentleman by the name of Bill Rose.
He is without question, one of the
finest men I have ever know. He is
energetic, innovative, and almost
charismatic at times. He is the sort
of person that you just want to be
associated with because others
might think you are something like
him. He has been an inspiration to
me and more help than I can ever
repay.
There is positively no other or-
ganization supported by tax dollars
that gives as much as does the Texas
Forest Service. I am very proud just
to be kin to them.
