Vigil honors Child Abuse Prevention Month at Terry County Courthouse
A group of 17 local citizens lit candles outside the Terry County Courthouse to highlight Child Abuse Prevention Month. The vigil, organized by the Terry County Children's Protective Services Board and West Texas Children's Centre, featured information from the South Plains Coalition for the Prevention of Child Abuse. Data cited show 4,000 annual U.S. child deaths from abuse, 168,000 yearly abuse/neglect reports, and Texas risk statistics. A proclamation by Terry County Judge Doug Ryburn framed broader child welfare concerns, including poverty, education, and family structure. The coalition offered a 15-question parenting self-check addressing listening, time, respect, praise, and modeling behavior.

City Council Debates Fees and Bids for City Services
The council split on paying half the fee for an aid proposal to assist a local business with an eye sore. A tie was broken against aid. They then sought BIDCorp help. The panel approved 1997 Cat motor grader bid $58,775 and a 1997 GMC sewer cleaning truck bid $50,858. They budgeted $112,000 for two items, spent slightly over $59,000, renewed Enermart gas, opposed two state franchise fee bills, and moved to annex part of West Texas Children’s Centre by Terry County Emergency Services.
