Couple decorates landfill with rock art ARCHER CITY (AP) — Raymond and Angie Lee Harrelson have colored life at the Archer City Landfill with a few buckets of paint and nat ural sandstone rocks. Neither is an “artist.” Harrelson has been a landfill operator for the city for 14 years. After making a new road in August 1987, to the dump, he inadvertently piled rows of rocks in eerie for mations that inspired him to carve a large cross above a set of three crosses in one rock. His initial carving lifted a curtain of ideas that eventually revealed a colorful, animated dump and paved the way to his new hobby as a “dump land scaper.” “Things just started coming to mind,” Harrel son said. After work he would spend an hour or two carving on the sandstone and his wife joined in, painting rocks with half-empty buckets of paint that had been thrown away. She found a 6-foot- tall rock that appeared to her to be formed in the shape of Texas, and she painted a yellow rose on it • “It gives people something to look at instead of garbage and stinking trash,” Mrs. Harrelson said. The pile of smoking rubble and junk in the background of three patches of colored rock sculptures look out of place in the one place trash belongs. A “littering prohibited” sign at the dump is just a touch of Harrelson’s humor. A rock with the word “dump” painted in black and yellow is set in the ground toward the entrance. A “wel come rock” greets dumpers at the front gate. In the daytime Harrelson buries and burns trash and crunches large metal objects with a front-end loader on a tractor. In the evening he decorates his work place. He has made a bowl of fruit, a whale and an owl. Harrelson has lived in Archer City 32 years af ter moving from Dill City, Okla., to work in his brother’s grocery store. He had never heard of anyone decorating a dump, but three miles east of Archer City the revelation came to him at age 50. He transferred his vision to his wife and it came to her as clearly, once he explained i« what he wanted to do. She came up with the to paint his sandstone engravings. “Everybody has a talent of some kind have to put it to use. I never thought aboutiie an artist,” Mrs. Harrelson said. Out-of-state visitors admire his work and has been interviewed by television andmagae reporters. When the fif th-grade class at Atti City went on a field trip to the dump, theyv surprised to see splashes of color and rocket lures all around, Mrs. Harrelson said. The hilltop landfill dotted with light bluern has had its problems from people with desir. tive intentions. “You betcha there has been vandalism,"H relson said. He said rocks painted to resenj fruit have had to be cemented into their bn “because they disappeared quickly.” “They pushed E.T. and his girlfriend’s bet off,” Mrs. Harrelson added. Harrelson spends no more than an two after work at the dump. Boy hit by lightening remains comatosed SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Hugo Arauz wanted to be the man of the house and take care of his mother, but after a lightning bolt ripped through his body, she may have to take care of him for a long time, doc tors say. The 12-year-old Arauz, who was struck by lightning while playing baseball last week, remained co matose at Brooke Army Medical Center Monday. His mother. Marly West, has been spending the nights at his side, hoping he will pull out of the coma. West moved to San Antonio with her son and two daughters from An drews Air Force Base in Maryland to be near her sister while her husband, Staff Sgt. Bennie West, completed a one-year tour of duty in Korea, she said. Her husband, who was training in Mississippi at the time of the acci dent, may forego the transfer be cause doctors have told the boy’s mother and stepfather his recupera tion may be lengthy. “When my husband went to Mis sissippi, he (Arauz) said he was going to take care of me and he was going to be the man of the house,” West said. “He was always happy. He was a good boy.” The youngster, nicknamed “Ricky,” was playing baseball with other children last Wednesday when lightning struck the field. The lightning struck Arauz in the neck and the charge exited through his legs, disintegrating his sneakers and burning his legs. One other youth was hospitalized overnight after complaining of tem porary blindness and minor burns and severals suffered minor injuries. Doctors have told West she will have to wait to see how he develops from treatment. “I get so desperate sometimes,” West said. “I hold his hand and I see him ly ing there and helpless. I feel like a part of me is dead.” She said her son made friends eas- iiy- “The worst part of everything is we just moved here two weeks ago and my son was so happy he was making friends,” she said. West was to have started a new job at Randolph Air Force Base Thurs day. She had just returned home from the base Wednesday when her son came in from playing, she said. Her son asked if he could go back out until dinner was ready, she said. Arauz filled a large container with ice and water to take back to the baseball field for his new friends, and that was the last time she saw her son conscious. West said. “It’s a miracle that my son is still alive today and I have to be thankful for that,” she said. State WIC program expected to expand AUSTIN (AP) — A state-adminis tered program that provides food to pregnant women, new mothers and their young children will be ex panded to include 80,000 more peo ple, state health officials said Mon day. The Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, currently serves about 250,000 women and children, said Debra Stabeno, Texas program director. The Texas Department of Health signed a contract with Mead John son Laboratories three months ago. Mead agreed to pay back 99 cents on every can of milk formula sold through the WIC program, and the money will fund the expansion, Health Commissioner Robert Bernstein said. The WIC program received its first rebate check, for May sales, to talling $1,367 million. Bernstein said. Stabeno said the department expects to receive an additional $85 million by the end of Mead’s 29- month contract. Bernstein said 33 of the 40 Texas counties that previously were not re ceiving WIC benefits will be in cluded in the program by the end of this month. The department hopes to be reaching the additional 80,()()() women and children by the begin ning of 1989, he said. File largest expansion will be in Bexar County’s San Antonio Metro politan Health District, where 1 1,500 people will be added, officials said. The seven counties that still will be excluded are Bandera, Cham bers, Collin, Freestone, Kendall, Kerr and Wilson, officials said. Supporters of the program hailed the campaign as a breakthrough for the state’s needy, but warned that it still was not enough. Approximately 1.47 million women and children are eligible for WIC aid in Texas, Ms. Stabeno said. The WIC program is aimed at needy women and children who run a high risk of developing nutrition- related health problems. .$200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 URINARY TRACT INFECTION STUDY Do you experience frequent urination, burning, stinging, or back pain when you urinate?
