Jasper, Sabine & Tyler County End A Near Nine Month Burn Ban
Officials in Jasper County announced on Tuesday that after reviewing the amount of rain received earlier in the day a decision had been made to drop the ban on all burning in the county. The decision allows resident to burn trash and yard debris as needed and also allows individuals to have camp fires. The move comes after months of prohibiting such fires due to the extreme drought conditions that have existed. On Tuesday, Jasper and the surrounding area received anywhere from 1.36 to 1.5 inches of rainfall as a line of thunderstorms moved through the area. Officials in both Tyler and Sabine Counties also lifted the ban on burning there on Tuesday morning. The ban on burning in nearby Newton County ended last week. Citizens are urged to be aware of the dangers associated with burning.

Citywide power outage planned for February
According to Tommy Boykin, City Manager, the City of Jasper will experience a planned power outage on Sunday February 13, 2011 from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.
Boykin said the outage is necessary due to a faulty main switch that must be replaced in the 138,000 volt Jason electrical substation on Milam Street.
Boykin said that there is simply no way to replace the switch without shutting off all power and that after considerable discussion it was decided that black out will take place on the Sunday evening while most people are asleep.
Boykin said that local citizens should remember that the outage will mean that all traffic lights, street lights and other lights will be out.
Boykin said that over the next few weeks residents, especially those with special needs should be making plans for the outage. However, he also said that the Jasper Fire Department, which has emergency power on Water Street will be open and would serve as a shelter for those who want to go there.
City officials have said that in the case of a hard freeze or cold weather, the outage will be postponed.
