Texan claims
chinchilla fur
beats all others
Associated Press
ATHENS — Jerry Fullingim’s
ranch has no fences to mend, no rus
tlers and very few worries, except
the East Texas heat.
Fullingim raises chinchillas, and
he considers it more profitable than
other kinds of ranching.
“Chinchilla fur is more valuable
than mink,” said Fullingim, 36. “It
lasts longer and the hair pops back
when you blow on it. It doesn't lay
down like rabbit.
“It takes 120 pelts to make a full-
length coat,” he said. “That coat will
go for $20,000 to $50,000, depend
ing on the quality. Obviously, there
are a lot of middlemen along the
way.”
He said he was looking for a line
of business that would be unlike his
current occupation and that would
require little travel. Fullingim
bought his first breeding stock nine
months ago — 35 females and five
males — for his 12-acre spread out
side Athens.
The main operation for Fullingim
and his wife, Brenda, is C&J Hydro-
Mulchers, which plants grass on
highways and dams, primarily for
government agencies.
Previously, the couple owned and
ran a chain of convenience stores
and are now developing a pump
maintenance company.
“But, I really want to raise chin
chillas,” said Fullingim.
Hot and humid conditions in
Texas are not conducive to raising
animals with high-quality fur, ex
perts say. Chinchillas, originally
from Chile’s Andes Mountains, are
cool-climate rodents.
Fullingim’s pelting stock — com
posed of gray standards, black stan
dards and black velvet animals —live
in a room set at 60 degrees. His
breeders live in a 70-degree room.
Young are horn wet and survive bet
ter in warmer air, he said.
He feeds his animals alfalfa hay
cubes and rabbit-food pellets.
Females, with a life span of five to
six years, average three litters per
year with from one to four “kits” per
litter. If there are four in a litter,
there’s usually not enough milk to go
around, so one is “loaned out” to an
other female with only one or two
young. Fullingim said.

LUFKIN — With the advent of
gacl travel, it appears that extrater-
iiirial colonies could soon become a
eality
While scientists and researchers
tave found ways to overcome zero
;ra\ity and other astrophysical phe-
tomena, a group of Lufkin High
ichool students nave addressed yet
nother aspect of space colonization
-how to maintain law and order.
In the classroom of U.S. govern-
nent teacher Charlene Lively, con-
titutions from faraway countries
uch as “New America,' “Universal
fepublic,” and “United Territories’*
dorn the wall. Like the U.S. Consti-
ution, they provide for a leader, leg-
ilative branches, and other points of
[overnment.
But these constitutions were writ-
en by a handful of high school stu-
lents, many of whom are not old
intfigh to vote.
"We think the people’s rights are
he most important tiling,” said
Cathy Moore, who helped draw up
heRonstitution of New America,
because we don’t want the govern-
nent to have complete control.”
The group also chose to have
heir president elected by popular
oteand serve a six-year instead of a
out wear term. v
“Sometimes they will be trying to
get things done and in four years
there isn't enough time,” said Buddy
Timtne.
Moore also said the group “firmly
believes” that capital punishment is a
deterrent to crime and included it in
the document. Another member,
Brent Alexander, said the death
penalty “saves tax dollars.”
A unicameral legislative body was
selected because the students “felt it
would be more effective in one
house,” said Timme. He said there is
often too much opposition between
the Senate and House of Represen
tatives in our bicameral system.
In the Universal Republic, “The
people are the only source that will
nave any and all governmental au
thority,” said Jon Bassinger, who
helped write the laws for that mythi
cal colony. “The power is vested in
the people in our government.”
1 he students strayed from the
electoral college voting system be
cause “it’s kind of outdated,” said
Kristi Baker, and provided for
checks and balances in the three leg
islative branches of their country.
“If one branch doesn’t like the
way another branch is doing some
thing, they have the power to correct
it,” said Bassinger.

pointed star represents a trait of the
Universal Republic. Scales equate to
justice, an eagle stands for freedom,
a torch equals knowledge, a peace
symbol means peace and a circle rep
resents unity. The star’s colors, blue
and white, stand for loyalty and
hope.
Uively said the group chose a
unique way to present their constitu
tion to the class.
The students stood in a star for
mation around the classroom and
explained what the various points
stood for.
In the United Territories, the
government is led by a superior in
stead of a president. Nicole Brewer,
a student who helped write that con
stitution, said the group had a little
trouble deciding on how long the su
perior should serve but finally de
cided on a six-year term with no
limit on re-elections.
A lawmaking body, known as the
“reins of government” consists of
250 elected representatives who
serve two-year terms. Each state of
the territories sends 25 reins to the
“star chamber” where all legislation
takes place.
Lively said the students had not
yet studied the U.S. constitution be
fore the project.
