The Texas Department of Public Safety is again
urging Spring Breakers to avoid traveling to Mexi-
co as a result of continued violence throughout the
country.
“The Mexican government has made great
strides battling the cartels, and we commend their
continued commitment to making Mexico a safer
place to live and visit,” said DPS Director Steven C.
McCraw. “However, drug cartel violence and oth-
er criminal activity represent a significant safety
threat, even in some resort areas.”
According to published information from the U.S.
Department of State: *
- 12,903 narcotics-related homicides were report-
ed the first nine months of 2011 alone.
- The number of U.S. citizens reported as
murdered in Mexico increased from 35 in 2007 to 120
in 2011.
- U.S. citizens have fallen victim to transnation-
al criminal activity, including homicide, gun battles,
kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery.
- Rape and sexual assault continue to be serious
problems in resort areas.
Some bars and nightclubs, especially in resort
cities such as Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, Cabo
San Lucas, and Tijuana can be havens for drug deal-
ers and petty criminals.
Crime and violence are serious problems
throughout the country and can occur anywhere.
The State Department now urges U.S. travel-
ers to defer non-essential travel to all or parts of 14

Reagan County Commissioners met Tues-
day morning with Attorney Chad Elkins in a
special called meeting to discuss the county's
subdivision regulations as they pertain to RV
parks.
There was some question during the com-
missioners' last meeting if an RV park would
fall under the county's subdivision regulations.
Elkins said that he researched the topic fur-
ther and came across a few attorney general
opinions that say an RV park would be consid-
ered a subdivision in Texas.
Elkins said it would be his opinion that all
RV parks built in Reagan County would fall
under the current regulations, which were ap-
proved in 2002, even though RVs are not specifi-
cally noted in the subdivision document.
Developer Matt Salazar was on hand with
questions about the county's regulations. Sala-
zar said he and his partners are looking to build
an RV park just east of Big Lake on a five acre
piece of land that stretches from the county line
just south of Highway 67 to the west edge of Reg-
gie's Trucking.
Elkins said that the current subdivision reg-
ulations are extensive and cover every question
imaginable and provided Salazar with the 30
page document.
Commissioner Ron Galloway said that he
wanted to review the regulations with Elkins
because he has received calls from multiple
parties looking to build an RV park around Big
Lake.
"I'm completely for growth in Reagan Coun-
ty," Galloway said. "I just think that it needs to
be orderly growth. We have seen what disorder-
ly growth looks like up on Ostrich Road."
Salazar said that he was not coming before
the court to get out of anything, and that he was
OK with paying fees and doing the job right. "I
just want to see exactly where we stand," Sala-
zar said. "If it is between spending $100 or $20,
well I'd rather spend the $20."
Salazar also said that he was concerned that
the regulations would set back construction by
a considerable amount of time.
The court told Salazar that they would be
ready to review the plat for the land by their
next regular meeting on Monday.
"We want to work with all developers," Com-
missioner Tommy Holt said. "We just have to

Friends, family and community members left fl owers, teddy bears and other tributes as a show of sympathy and support for the family of two-year-old Francisco Hernandez Jr., who passed away Friday after an accident at the family's home at 304 N. Texas Street. The child was reportedly run over in the residence's driveway by an SUV driven by his father in an accident that Chief Deputy Jeff Weatherby called terrible and tragic. Paramedics and deputies were on scene within a minute of receiving the call at 12:59 p.m., but Weatherby said there was nothing that could be done to save the child. - PHOTO BY J.L. MANKIN
Melissa Gonzales, US Post-
al Letter Carrier in Big Lake,
was recognized in a small cer-
emony last Friday for display-
ing heroic conduct during an
emergency situation.
Mrs. Gonzales was on her
daily route January 18th, when
she encountered an elderly lady
who had fallen in the street.
Melissa says she was turn-
ing onto Pennsylvania Street
when she heard someone holler
to call 9-1-1.
An unidentified male was
standing over the lady.
Melissa called EMS and
went to the aid of the injured
lady, covering her and making
sure she was coherent until a
deputy and EMS arrived.
Dorothy Howard had gone
to check her mailbox when she
fell off of the curb and hit the
pavement. Mrs. Howard suf-
fered a major head wound, a
broken cheek bone and a bro-
ken pelvis from the fall.
"To me, it's part of the job.
Anything can happen out there
and we are out there on the
streets every day. I'm just glad
I was there at that time," said
Mrs. Gonzales.
Georgia Brown, daughter
of Mrs. Howard stated "We are
so thankful she stopped to help
mother, as well as the gentle-
man. They were lifesavers."
Brown was out of town at
the time of the accident.
Big Lake Postmaster Garry
Goff commended Melissa, and
presented her with a framed
letter from the Postmaster Gen-
eral, Patrick R. Donahoe.
The letter read:
I want to personally com-
mend you for being a consci-
entious employee and citizen.
When you discovered a woman
lying in the street with inju-
ries to her head, you immedi-
ately called emergency person-
nel and stayed with her until
help arrived. I know she ap-
preciated the care and concern
you showed her. Thank you
for coming to her rescue and
displaying such heroic con-
duct during this emergency
situation.
The Postal Service has
played an integral role in the
daily lives of American citi-
zens for 236 years. Through
the faithful completion of their
daily rounds, and by going the
extra mile for customers when-
ever needed, letter carriers
maintain and strengthen this
proud tradition. Your efforts re-
mind us all of the ties that bind
communities and our country
together.
We are fortunate to have
a employee of your caliber as
part of our postal family. Well
done!
Goff said Melissa was com-
mended by the National As-
sociation of Letter Carriers
President, Office of Personnel
Management, as well as the
Postmaster General.
She has been a letter car-
rier for 11 years for the US Post
Office.
Georgia Brown added that
after a weeklong stay in a San
Angelo hospital, her mother’s
recovery has been slow from
the traumatic fall, but she is
improving.
‘We appreciate Melissa, the
community and the churches
for their continued prayers,
and food brought to Dorothy,”
she concluded.

Iran’s Terrible Rationality
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, thinks that
Iran is a “rational actor.” He is indisput-
ably correct.
Tehran couldn’t have made itself into
the world’s foremost exporter of terror
and extended its tentacles throughout
the Middle East without resorting to ra-
tional calculation. That’s obvious. What
Dempsey is implying, though, is that a re-
gime capable of such calculation can nec-
essarily be de-
terred if it gets a
nuclear weapon.
That’s an unsup-
portable leap.
If the Sovi-
ets, the famous
“evil empire”
bristling with
thousands of nuclear weapons, could be
deterred, why not Iran? The Soviet leader-
ship became more pragmatic over time.
After Nikita Khrushchev renounced Jo-
sef Stalin, it didn’t believe that war with
its enemies was imminent and inevitable.
Iran’s religio-ideological fire, in contrast,
is still burning hot.
From our perspective, there is no point
in establishing a theocracy, killing in-
nocents abroad, pursuing sectarian war,
crushing protesters, denying the Holo-
caust and threatening Israel with anni-
hilation, either. From the point of view of
the Western liberal tradition, the Islamic
Republic itself makes no sense. Yet there
it is, withstanding punishing economic
sanctions to pursue the weapon that the
regime wouldn’t want in the first place if it
accepted international norms.
A highly ideological leadership with
a sense of desperate urgency is the en-
emy of deterrence. In 1941, Dean Acheson
rightly said: “No rational Japanese could
believe an attack on us could result any-
thing but disaster.” Except the Japanese
-- driven by a sense of honor alien to us --
believed that they only had two choices:
getting squeezed out of China by the U.S.,
or launching a risky war.
Even in the Cold War, deterrence al-
most failed. During the Cuban Missile
Crisis, the airstrike and invasion pushed
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff might well
have unwittingly prompted a nuclear ex-
change. The defense secretary at the time,
the late Bob McNamara, maintained that
“we lucked out.” Ah, yes, that crucial
backstop to deterrence -- luck.
The Israelis can be forgiven for not
feeling very lucky. Do we think Israeli
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and Aya-
tollah Ali Khamenei will establish a “red
telephone” to smooth out misunderstand-
ings after Iran goes nuclear? The Iranian
regime is factionalized, and it is sure to be
the most fanatical elements that control
the nukes. It also is prone to bouts of popu-
lar unrest threatening its existence. If the
regime ever believes it is going down, na-
tional martyrdom might look gloriously
alluring.
In March 1945, Adolf Hitler gave his
infamous Nero Decree, essentially call-
ing for the destruction of Germany. After
the first U.S. atomic attack on Hiroshima,
the Japanese war minister mused about
how wonderful it would be if his nation
were destroyed “like a beautiful flower.”
It is in this tradition that former Iranian
President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani -- a
relative pragmatist -- said that “even one
nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy ev-
erything. However, it will only harm the
Islamic world. It is not irrational to con-
template such an eventuality.”
On his own perverse terms, Rafsan-
jani’s reasoning is unassailable. He’s just
another “rational actor.”

Green is okay. It’s not my favor-
ite color. It’s not my least favorite. But
wouldn’t a nice azure blue or sunshine
yellow be just as good as green? Why did
it have to be green?
I’d love to support
our Irish friends on
St. Patrick’s Day, but I
have absolutely noth-
ing green to wear. I’ve
come to the conclusion
that nobody does un-
less they bought it for a
St. Patrick’s Day party
ten years ago.
There is a rule
written in stone some-
where (perhaps this Blarney Stone I
keep hearing about) that you cannot go
to a St. Paddy’s Day party wearing any-
thing other than green. Additionally,
you take the risk of getting kicked out
if you dare show up in orange, which is
very… not green.
Nobody wants to get kicked out be-
cause there will be shamrocks… and
beer. Lots of beer.
There’s a rule about having to drink
beer on St. Paddy’s Day too, but I choose
to ignore it. Beer makes me nauseated.
What can they do? Send a leprechaun
to make me drink? … Bring it on, little
green man. I think I can take you.
By the way, the leprechauns did not
sprout from the St. Patrick legends. The
little party-crashers simply took over
the holiday because St. Patrick was a bit
boring. In fact, it is very unlikely that
he ever drank beer, sported a mono-
chrome wardrobe, or ate corned beef
and cabbage until he puked.
In fact, the modern corned beef tradi-
tion sprang from the original meat used
to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day: bacon. I
AUSTIN — Dates put on the calendar
make the prospect of party primaries seem
more concrete now. An order by a three-
judge panel of the U.S. District Court, West-
ern District of Texas in San Antonio, set
May 29 as the date of the 2012 general pri-
mary election and July 31 for the primary
runoff election.
Despite continuing questions and ob-
jections over redrawn state House and U.S.
congressional districts, the order written
by Judge Orlando Garcia and dated March
1 includes a list of primary–related dead-
line dates for federal, state, county and lo-
cal offices. In a long list of requirements
in Garcia’s court order is the reopening of
the filing period for candidates. Filing was
set to begin March 2 and end at 6 p.m. on
March 9.
Furthermore, the order waived the
state law requiring that a runoff election
be held no earlier than the 20th nor later
than the 45th day after the final canvass of
the main election for any municipal, school,
or other political subdivision election held
on May 12. It also suspended the require-
ments of any home-rule city charter re-
lating to runoff election dates to allow for
compliance with the order.
Coach puts face on Alzheimer’s
Darrell K. Royal, head coach of the Uni-
versity of Texas Longhorns football team
from 1957-76, appeared in the state Senate
Chamber on Feb. 28 to promote efforts to
understand and deal with Alzheimer’s dis-
ease. Royal, 87, suffers from Alzheimer’s.
Royal’s wife Edith spoke to the Joint
Interim Committee on Alzheimer’s Dis-
ease, an assembly of lawmakers tasked
with studying the economic impact of the
disease over the next five years and work-
ing toward mobilizing assets to combat it.
Standing with the Royals were celebrated
Texans Lance Armstrong and Matthew
McConaughey.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Da-
vid Lakey estimated 340,000 Texans suffer
from the disease and the state’s minimally
funded Alzheimer’s disease program was
cut by 50 percent by the Legislature. While
most of the estimated $65 million cost of Al-
zheimer’s treatment in Texas is covered by
Medicare, Lakey said, many Alzheimer’s
sufferers don’t receive needed services.
Texas Department of Aging and Dis-
ability Services Deputy Commissioner Jon
Weizenbaum estimated there
are 2.7 million Texans pro-
viding informal caregiv-
er tasks for Alzheimer’s
sufferers.

Spending Time
With the DragonI was visiting with a Rotary friend last
summer and we were talking about recent
books we had read. He said he had just
finished the third book in Stieg Larsson’s
THE MILLINNEUM TRILOGY, published
in Sweden in 2005, 2006 and 2007. His fas-
cination with the three books caught my
attention. I had heard about the series, but
hadn’t paid much attention to it, although
the titles indicated to me that this was
something I
needed to read.
THE GIRL
WITH THE
DRAGON TA-
TOO, THE GIRL
WHO PLAYED
WITH FIRE
AND THE GIRL
WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST
practically jump out at you from the book-
shelf. The conversation about books made
me feel almost ashamed that I hadn’t read
the series, which was the talk of the liter-
ary world. Steig Larsson died in 2004 short-
ly after delivering the three manuscripts.
I bought the first book and after just a
few pages I was hooked. Not since reading
Thomas Wolfe in college had I just abso-
lutely jumped into a book. I was caught up
in the love story, the family saga, the finan-
cial intrigue and the mystery. The story
is about a journalist, something I could
identify with at the outset. I may have set a
record for reading THE GIRL WITH THE
DRAGON TATTOO. It was difficult to put
it down.
While I was reading it and after read-
ing it, the images conjured up in my mind
about the characters stayed there and I
wanted to find out what was going on with
them. Of course I bought the second book,
THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE,
before I finished the first. I devoured the
second one also, fully engrossed in the on-
going story. The first two books were pa-
perbacks. I read the third book, THE GIRL
WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST, on
a Kindle. Reading from a machine had the
same excitement, if not more, than reading
from a conventional book. My wife Susan
read the series right along with me.
Work, play, home life, outside activities
were ignored occasionally to stay up with
the story. When we visited our son in Dal-
las we were talking about the books and he
told us that a Swedish company had made
films of the three books and he had seen
them all. When we got back home we went
to Blockbuster and rented the first one.
Wow. The characters and locations were
just as I had imagined them.
The film was true to the book for the
most part and stayed with the story. We
watched one of the movies on Monday, the
second one on Tuesday and the third one
on Wednesday. We finished watching the
movies about the time the American ver-
sion of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON
TATTOO hit the theaters.
We were impressed with the American
version. I personally like the ending better
than the Swedish version. While the lights
were coming up in the theater, we were dis-
cussing the movie, talking about the subtle
differences and similarities between the
Swedish and American versions. The per-
son sitting a seat away from Susan began
talking to us. Of all things, he just hap-
pened to be from Sweden. Our conversa-
tion lasted well into the lobby of the theater.
We’re waiting for the next two American
movie versions.
St. Paddy’s Day Madnessby Tumbleweed Smith
Rolling Along
can see how people who drink large
quantities of beer might make that mis-
take. (“I wondered why that darn pig was
mooing!”) But whose sick idea was it to
combine corned beef and cabbage with
kegs of beer, anyway?
Aha! That’s where
the green comes in!
After voluminous
amounts of corned beef,
cabbage and beer, the
only green you’d see is
the green around your
gills around 2:00 am.
After waking from
a coma next to the com-
mode in a bar to which
you don’t remember going, one has to
further test his intestinal fortitude by
going to the parade with a hangover.
And yay! The parade has bagpipes!
Lots of bagpipes. Because, apparently,
the friendly Scots support the Irish mad-
ness with an instrument that looks like
one of the alien patrons of a Star Wars
pub. It sounds like one too.
Of course, after ruining your only
green shirt with the contents of your
stomach, you would have to brave the
parade in a color other than green.
There are consequences for blatantly
breaking the St. Paddy’s Day rules. Now,
every Irish grandmother in the city will
subject you to an “affectionate pinch”;
which is an oxymoron. There really is
no such thing. However, if somebody’s
grandmother pinches you, you are not, I
repeat, NOT, allowed to slug her. Anoth-
er St. Paddy’s rule written in stone.
So, yes, I wholeheartedly support our
Irish friends, and even those who are
only temporarily Irish. But, gee, I just
don’t have anything to wear.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

ty some protection in the
future. It also gives us as a
commissioners court some-
thing to hold your (develop-
ers) feet to the fire. My main
concern is that everything
is safe, orderly and sightly. I
think that is something we
can all agree with."
Elkins said that the ap-
propriate action for develop-
ers to take when placing an
RV park in Reagan County
would be to first pick up a
subdivision packet from the
county clerk's office.
The developer would
then need to produce a plat
stamped by an engineer
for commissioner approv-
al. After that construction
can commence with over-
sight from the county's road
supervisor.
Elkins also said that if
the developer is receiving
water and waste water ser-
vice from the City of Big
Lake they would have to pro-
vide the county with a letter
from the city stating that the
city's services can handle
the extra load.
Elkins said that develop-
ers that do not receive ser-
vices from the city will have
to contact TCEQ for their
on-site waste water and the
underground water con-
servation district for fresh
water.
The commissioners also
noted that none of the regu-
lations pertain to RV parks
within the City of Big Lake
as they have their own set
of rules and regulations.
The court finished up
their meeting by asking El-
kins to draft an addendum
to the subdivision regula-
tions to include RV parks.
The meeting was ad-
journed at 9:45 a.m.

Most schools are

State law gives the Tex-

authority to impose sanc-

trict or charter school that
receives a lowered accredi-

This year, 97 percent of
school districts and char-
ter schools earned state ac-

Phony email targets
citizens
Texas Attorney Gener-
al Greg Abbott on March
1 warned citizens not to
open attachments, click on
links or respond to fraudu-
lent email that looks like it
came from the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service.
“Tax season is a particu-
larly active time for identity
thieves, because it provides
an opportunity for crimi-
nals to create fraudulent
emails and websites to trick
taxpayers into divulging
their sensitive financial in-
formation,” Abbott said.
“Taxpayers should re-
member that the IRS does
not use email or text mes-
sages to contact taxpayers
about issues related to their
income tax returns,” Ab-
bott added.
This year, the deadline
for filing federal income
tax returns is Tuesday,
April 17. According to the
IRS, the filing deadline
was moved back because
April 15 is a Sunday and
April 16 is a holiday in
Washington, D.C.

DPS advises against Spring
Break travel to Mexico
The Big Lake City Coun-
cil met Tuesday and ap-
proved an ordinance that
amends the city's traffic
code to set limits on where
and when commercial
trucks can park inside Big
Lake's city limits.
The ordinance, num-
bered 12-03-06-1, states that
any owner of a commercial
vehicles of more than 10,500
lbs shall not park in the city
limits of Big Lake on prop-
erty that is not owned or
leased by the owner of the
vehicle.
The ordinance allows
for specific written permis-
sion to be granted to a com-
mercial vehicle driver as
long as it is issued by the
landowner.
According to the ordi-
nance, the same restric-
tions apply to cleaning and
changing fluid on trucks
over the weight limit. Truck
maintenance can only be
conducted if the owner of
the vehicle also owns the
property, and the piece of
land also contains drains/
catchments for fluids and
is constructed to prevent
the contamination of the
property.
The ordinance rounds
out by prohibiting any com-
mercial trucks over the
weight limit not owned by
the City of Big Lake from
parking on municipal prop-
erty unless it receives writ-
ten authorization.
The council noted that
there is a list of vehicles
that are exempt from the
ordinance that includes
service vehicles, deliv-
ery trucks and emergency
vehicles.
The ordinance was con-
structed to give local law
enforcement another tool to
combat parking issues that
happen around Big Lake.
Sheriff Jeff Garner, in a
previous meeting of the city
council, told council mem-
bers that in the past things
would have to get out of
hand before his department
had the authority to have
an unwanted commercial
vehicle moved.
The meeting was called
to order at 6:15 p.m. by
Mayor Cindy O'Bryan with
council members Phil Pool,
Paul Jones and Charlie
Walker present. Council-
man Cliff Miller joined the
meeting in progress.
The council began the
meeting by approving the
outright purchase of a Cat-
erpillar backhoe for the to-
tal cost of $78,000.
The backhoe will have
an 18" bucket, since the city
already has a 2' bucket, and
comes with a 5 year 5000
hour extended warranty.
City Secretary Eve-
lyn Ammons said that the
machine will be paid for
through the city's general
fund.
The council then dis-
cussed deed restrictions
and permits for RVs in Big
Lake.
The council placed a
moratorium on the city's
RV codes until December
31, 2012 during their last
meeting to give them time
to hold workshops to shape
the city's RV policy going
forward.
Mayor Cindy O'Bryan
said that City Attorney Mel-
anie Spratt-Anderson could
not make it to the meeting,
but passed along some in-
formation to her about the
deed restrictions issue.
According to O'Bryan,
deed restrictions are not
considered the business of
the city, and the city should
not issue permits for deed
restricted land.
O'Bryan said that An-
derson will bring case law
to support her opinion
on the subject at a future
meeting.
Councilman Paul Jones
then raised an issue with
the city's current permit ap-
plication having a $50 "mov-
ing fee" for RVs.
Jones said that people
currently pay for the right
to move RVs on Texas pub-
lic roads by paying for li-
cense plates.
City Secretary Ammons
said that the fee is used as a
way to keep track of where
the RVs are located within
the city.
The council agreed that
a separate form would be
drafted to take care of the
wording discrepancy.
The council was then
notified by Public Works
Director Troy Kuykendall
that the city has received
permission to close their
old waste water treatment
facility.
Ammons said that it is
possible for the city to lease
the land to be developed as
long as no permanent build-
ings are placed on the site.
She also said that the city
will never be able to sell the
property, but they are free
to lease.
The council asked Am-
mons to draft an advertise-
ment for local newspapers
to get the word out on the
land. The council discussed
allowing the closing, or fill-
ing in, of the waste water
plant to be the payment for
the lease.
Councilmembers then
approved a resolution au-
thorizing a Sheriff Posse
horse parade on March 24,
2012 on Highway 67.
The council approved
the city's bills and meter de-
posits before adjourning the
meeting at 7:09 p.m.

“I feel that I am the most qualified can-
didate for District Attorney for several rea-
sons. As a parent, I know the importance
of having a good community to raise our
children in. I also know that it takes com-
munity strength and compassion to raise
young people today. As a former peace of-
ficer, I know what it is like to spend the
night working on a criminal case when one
of our neighbors has become a victim of
crime. As a former prosecutor, I know how
important it is to be fair and just with the
system. The Office of District Attorney is
a very powerful position and one has to be
fair, just and wise with this responsibility.
Before someone is indicted and formally
charged with a crime it is important to be
absolutely sure that there is enough evi-
dence to convict that person. As a man who
had to work his way through law school
and a single parent, I recognize the impor-
tance that to most of us place on our good
name and our reputation. Before you ac-
cuse someone as a criminal, it is important
to look at all the facts and evidence before
you ruin his reputation”.
As a former prosecutor I have been in-
volved in well over 100 jury trials and han-
dled directly or indirectly several thousand
other criminal cases. I have been involved
in cases ranging from DWI’s to Capital Mur-
der’s. I have also been involved in cases
that were in the national spotlight includ-
ing the prosecution of the “Republic of Tex-
as” militia group in Jeff Davis County and
the investigation of the Marine shooting in
Redford, Texas in Presidio County, Texas. I
have represented the State of Texas multiple
times in the Appellate Circuit Courts in El
Paso and San Antonio, Texas and the Court
of Criminal Appeals in Austin, Texas.
I have been in private practice in Fort
Stockton, Texas for the last 11 years with
the majority of my practice consisting of
criminal defense. I feel that this gives me
the advantage of knowing both sides of
criminal law.
I have always taken a strong and tough
position on violent crime and will continue
to do so. If one of our neighbors children is
shot, stabbed, murdered or sexually assault-
ed, it’s time to get ready for trial because I
will not plea that type of case for probation.
I look forward to the opportunity of
serving as your next District Attorney in
the 112th Judicial District. If you have any
questions, comments or would just like to
visit with me, please feel free to contact me
at 432.652.3322.”

This chemical truck overturned Friday, March 2, 2012 near the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 190 and State Hwy. 163, spilling an unknown quantity of methanol which caused both roads to be closed and traffi c diverted for a couple of hours. The driver, whose name has not been released, was airlifted to a San Angelo hospital where he was treated and released. The truck is owned by Southwest treatment Products of Sonora. The accident remains under investigation. COURTESY PHOTO JORDAN DE LA ROSA | Ozona Volunteer Fire Department
An overturned chemi-
cal truck and the resulting
spill of an unknown quan-
tity of methanol, caused
U.S. Hwy. 190 and State
Hwy. 163 to be closed for a
couple of hours on Friday,
March 2, 2012. The truck,
owned by Southwest Treat-
ment Products in Sonora,
was in the area to service
oil and gas wells.
The wreck, occurred
near the intersection of
the two highways, some
34 miles west of Eldorado.
The driver, whose name
has yet to be released to
the press, was airlifted
to a San Angelo hospital
where he was treated and
released.
Methanol is highly
flammable and when it
burns, it does so with an
almost invisible flame. A
hazardous material crew
Chemical spill closes US 190 & SH 163(HAZMAT) from Big Lake
was called to the scene to
deal with the spill, and
to determine if any other
chemical products on the
truck had spilled or leaked
out.
Multiple agencies re-
sponded to the accident
including the Crockett
County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment, the Ozona Volun-
teer Fire Department,
Crockett County EMS, the
Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety, Irion County
Sheriff’s Department and
the Texas Department of
Transportation.
The accident remains
under investigation at
press time.
