Firefighter Jose Castillo directs a stream of water into a carport at 704 South Iowa in Lamesa where a 1981 Ford sedan was destroyed and a

1995 Chevrolet pickup was heavily damaged in a blaze on Thursday morning.

‘HOT’ AUTOS Russel Skiles/Press-Reporter

By Russel SkilesLamesa Press-Reporter One vehicle was destroyed and an-other was heavily damaged in a fi re Thursday morning that threatened to spread to a nearby residence. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation, according to the report fi led by Eddie Schwartz, captain and training offi cer with Lamesa Fire and Rescue. Received at 11:09 a.m., the initial

report of the blaze indicated a sin-gle vehicle was on fire at 704 South Iowa. Schwartz reported that when he ar-rived at the scene a car parked under a wood-and-tin carport was ablaze and a pickup parked next to it was starting to burn. An open-sided shed linked the car-port to the wood-frame residence but fi refi ghters were able to keep the blaze from spreading from the carport.

Schwartz’s report indicates a 1981 Ford four-door sedan was destroyed in the blaze and a 1995 Chevrolet half-ton pickup was heavily damaged. The carport also sustained extensive damage. The property is owned by Carlos Ti-jerina, according to the report. Twelve fi refi ghters responded to the alarm and used about 500 gallons of water to extinguish the blaze. They were on the scene for a little over an

hour. Lamesa fi refi ghters also extinguished a grass fi re near the curve in Weaver Road just northwest of Lamesa on Tuesday night. That blaze was reported at 9:36 p.m. and burned only a small area before be-ing extinguished. Seventeen fi refi ghters responded to that blaze with four fi re trucks and spent about an hour at the scene, using an estimated 2,200 gallons of water.

Workers with J Steel Buildings of Seminole have been working this past week installing new metal siding on the existing framework of the Dawson County Fair Barn in Lamesa. New metal roofing also is planned, as well as insulation added in the

roof area and three exhaust fans installed, with the more than $168,000 in funding received from a local public foundation. No county funds have been made available for the renovation project that currently is underway.

NEW METAL Russel Skiles/Press-Reporter

By Herrel HallmarkLamesa Press-Reporter Work is well underway on the “re-skinning” of the Dawson County Fair Barn as new metal siding and roofi ng is being fastened to the exist-ing framework of that structure. J Steel Buildings of Seminole is doing the work on the fair barn with the funding provided by a local pub-lic foundation. No county funds are being used on the project. The Dawson County Commis-sioners Court did advertise late last year for RFP (request for proposal) for the proposed work on the fair barn. Three sealed proposals were received and opened in January by

the commissioners court. Those proposals were analyzed in a closed, executive session by County Judge Foy O’Brien, County Commis-sioner Ricky Minjarez and County Auditor Rick Dollahan. Also meet-ing with those county offi cials behind closed doors was Dwaine Brown Brown has served as the spokes-person for several local community leaders who fi rst approached the commissioners court last November with the idea of renovating the exist-ing fair barn, which would allow it to be used as a multi-purpose facility rather than just for livestock shows. One of those proposals was not considered, county offi cials said,

since it did not respond to all areas of the RFP. The proposal by J Steel Buildings of Seminole appeared to be the “best deal” out of the remaining two pro-posals, county offi cials said, since it was about $40,000 cheaper than the other proposal. The proposal submitted by J Steel Buildings was approximately $220,000, Dollahan said, but that amount included a second phase of the project that would take out the permanent livestock pens inside the fair barn and fi ll in the fl oor area with concrete where those pens currently are located.

The Texas Comptroller Leadership Circle, which recognizes local govern-ing entities that strive to meet a high standard of on-line fi nancial transpar-ency, has announced its members for 2014. As it has the last four years, Daw-son County again scored at the highest award level in that statewide Leader-ship Circle. That recognition has been made possible by the continuing efforts of the County Auditor’s Offi ce to make

fi nancial data available for public ac-cess on the county website, consistent-ly earning the county a Gold designa-tion each year since the program was implemented in 2010. The scoring program has been en-hanced and expanded with an even higher award level – the Platinum designation – put into place for 2014. Dawson County’s continued ef-forts to satisfy the criteria stated for the Leadership Circle have moved

the county up to that highest rank-ing. The new Platinum designation “spotlights entities that go above and beyond providing fi nancial transpar-ency,” according to the Texas Trans-parency website. Dawson County scored a combined total of 20 out of 22 possible points in both major and minor criteria used for the scoring of entities to earn the Plati-num designation this year.

A sewer line project and water system im-provement project, both in the northeastern area of the city, will be among items ad-dressed this week in a special called meeting of the Lamesa City Council. That City Council meeting will get under-way at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall, 601 South 1st Street. Council members will consider approv-ing a resolution to authorize the purchase of a right-of-way and easement for the North Sewer Line Project and authorizing Mayor Dave Nix to execute all of the required docu-ments. The right-of-way and easement are for property that belonged to the late John Saleh and remains under the control of his estate. Calling and advertising for bids for the North Sewer Line and the U.S. 87 Water System Improvement Projects also will be considered by the council at Tuesday’s meeting. The city plans to have a new elevated wa-ter storage tank constructed in the Lamesa Industrial Park just east of U.S. Highway 87 (Lubbock Highway) in the northern part of the city. That additional water tank is expected to provide better and more consistent water pressure for city water customers mainly in the northern and northeastern parts of the city. In conjunction with that water tank, a new waterline will be constructed from that tower north along U.S. Highway 87 to tie in with an existing water line that runs east and west in the northern part of the city. Other business to be considered for ap-proval on Tuesday will include: the second and fi nal reading of an or-dinance to accept a negotiated settlement agreement between the Steering Committee of Cities served by Atmos West Texas and Atmos Energy Company for a rate increase that will become effective on April 1.

Continued from Page 1 The county aced the major criteria, scoring a perfect eight out of eight possible points, and scored eight out of ten pos-sible points in the minor crite-ria. The only points it did not earn were for searchable check registers and descriptive check registers. The county website does of-fer a check register and check registers for the three most re-cent fi scal years. The four major criteria used for this year’s scoring included: Budget (offi cial adopted bud-get); Annual Financial Report or Comprehensive Financial Report; Check Register; and Fi-nancial Transparency Webpage. For the minor criteria there are ten areas used in scoring. Those include: Contact infor-

mation for elected offi cials; Public information request contact and instructions; Bud-gets for three most recent fi scal years; Annual fi nancial reports for three most recent complet-ed reports; Check registers for three most recent fi scal years; Searchable check registers; Descriptive check registers; Visual representation of fi nan-cial data; Current taxes for lo-cal option taxes; and Raw for-mat budget. County Auditor Rick Dolla-han has said previously that all of the county’s fi nancial data – monthly check register, end of month cash balances, county auditor’s monthly fi nancial report, annual fi nancial audit report, current fi scal year bud-get, county treasurer’s report and county property tax rates

– are available on the Dawson County website. “That makes it very easy for the public to go to the county website and click on any of those reports at any time,” Dollahan stated. Rhonda McCown, fi rst as-sistant auditor, has said the lo-cal fi nancial data is compiled by the staff of the county au-ditor’s offi ce and then sent to the CIRA (County Informa-tion Resource Agency) of the Texas Association of Counties (TAC). The CIRA is respon-

sible for maintenance of the county website and actually puts the information on the website, she said. Contact information, includ-ing the cell phone number or e-mail address of each county commissioner, are available on the website, McCown said. “The Comptroller of Public Accounts launched the Texas Comptroller Leadership Circle program in December 2009 to recognize local governments across Texas that are striving to meet a high standard for fi -

nancial transparency online,” according to the Texas Trans-parency website. “We are spotlighting those local governments that are: “opening their books to the public; “providing clear, consis-tent pictures of spending; “sharing information in a user-friendly format that lets taxpayers easily drill down for more detail.” Dawson County’s website is available online at www.co.dawson.tx.us.

Barry Corbin

As the new spokesman for the Texas Veterans Land Board, Texas born and bred actor Barry Corbin has a face most everyone will recognize, even if they may not know his name. With more than 100 TV and fi lm credits and several Emmy nomi-nations to his name, Corbin’s suc-cess as a Hollywood character actor – with roles in movies that include “WarGames,” “Urban Cowboy” and “No Country for Old Men,” may seem like a dream come true for a kid from Lamesa. But it is Corbin’s real-life role as a

member of the U.S. Marines that helped him to achieve his life-long dream – owning land in Texas. “Here in Texas, owning land has al-ways been a big part of being a Texan, but for veterans like me, owning land here is a dream come true,” Corbin says as he walks along a fenced pasture on a Hill Country ranch. “Right now, if you’re a Texas veteran or a member of the military, the VLB has low-interest loans up to $100,000 with only 5 per-cent down. This is a great deal, just for veterans.” Corbin, a member of the Texas Film

Hall of Fame, earned his Texas veter-ans benefi ts long before staring in TV series including Anger Management, Matlock, The Thorn Birds, M.A.S.H., Dallas, The Closer, One Tree Hill and Northern Exposure. “We looked long and hard to fi nd a Texas veteran who could really un-derstand and appreciate our mission at the VLB — serving Texas veterans for life,” Patterson said. “Barry is a Texas veteran who understands that owning land is the American dream and he was eager to help us spread the word.”

When not on the set, Corbin enjoys spending time on his ranch near Fort Worth and is an accomplished rider. Corbin’s 30-second TV and radio ads for the VLB were shot on a ranch in Liberty Hill owned by a Texas vet-eran. The spots began airing earlier this month in Dallas-Fort Worth, Cen-tral Texas and San Antonio and will be pushed out statewide via social media and direct marketing efforts. The campaign aims to let Texas vet-erans know about the benefi ts they have earned through their service. Learn more at www.texasveterans.com.

Continued from Page 1 Portable pens would be used inside the fair barn for future livestock shows. That change to the inside of the fair barn would make ap-proximately 10,000 square feet of fl oor space available and allow the use of the fair barn as a multi-purpose facility and not limit its use only for livestock shows. Back in January the commis-sioners court authorized Judge O’Brien to recommend the pro-posal by J Steel Buildings in a letter that would be submitted to the public foundation, which was being asked to provide funding for the renovation project. Dollahan pointed out at the

January commissioners court meeting that all of the contractors who had submitted proposals were told up front that the county would recommend one of those proposals to a public foundation for funding, but the proposal ac-tually would not be accepted until such funds were secured. Brown said on Friday that the public foundation did not approve the funding for the second phase of the project, but did agree to provide $168,500 for the fi rst phase. That phase includes the re-skinning of the exterior of the building, adding insulation in the roof area and installing three exhaust fans. “It wouldn’t do any good to do

anything inside the building un-til the metal on the roof has been replaced anyway,” Brown said. Once the exterior work on the facility is completed, Brown said, local community leaders plan to seek volunteer labor or in-kind labor to re-move the existing permanent livestock pens inside the facil-ity and get the fl oor ready for the pouring of new concrete. He said additional funding would have to be secured in the future for the pouring of the concrete and the purchase of portable pens for livestock, as well as any other renovation work that is planned eventually for the inside of the facility.

Obituaries

A retired high school band director who grew up in Lame-sa has been named to the Tex-as Bandmasters Association Hall of Fame. David Riker will be honored by the Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Mu at an induction cer-emony on July 29 in San Anto-nio. The chapter annually hon-ors outstanding band directors for dedication and devotion to their profession, with seven in-dividuals chosen for induction this year. “We appreciate the opportu-nity to highlight the careers of these wonderful band directors who have infl uenced and guid-ed so many young musicians,” said Ben Gollehon, chairper-son of the Hall of Fame com-mittee. Before retiring in 2003, Rik-er spent 25 years as band direc-tor at Denver City High where his band and students annu-ally earned an array of top state honors. Born in Delaware, Riker moved to Lamesa in 1947 with his parents, Robert and Hattie Riker. He began his music career here at age six when his mother pushed him to start piano les-sons with local musician Reba Edwards in an effort to restore his equilibrium after a fall from a tree. Riker later was mentored by other local musicians such as Jo Beckham, Loraine Groves and Richard Crawley in addi-tion to school band directors Ed Burt, Bill Green, Jim Wil-liams and Jerry Bartley. Playing both trumpet and baritone, Riker performed in the LHS band and stage band and also was a member of the school choir. He played once with the famous Slum Town Symfunny of Lamesa and joined with several friends to start a Dixieland band called the Mississippi Mudders. After graduating from Lamesa High School, he at-tended Texas Tech University

where he was a member of the varsity band, Tech singers, Tech stage band, and the court jesters that performed at bas-ketball games. Riker graduated from Texas Tech in 1968 while in military basic training at Fort Bliss. Af-ter attending the Navy School of Music in Virginia, he re-turned to Fort Bliss where he was assigned to the 424th Army Band and later the 62nd Army Band. Leaving the army, Riker began his teaching career in Rotan, N.M. and received his master’s degree from New Mexico State University. In 1973 he moved to Lubbock as band director at Estacado High School. He was hired by Denver City ISD in 1978 and began a 25-year tenure marked by nu-merous achievements, includ-ing: placing students in the all-region band every year, including 34 students in one year; earning 21 Sweepstakes awards; winning the South Plains Fair parade marching contest 15 years in a row; winning overall best band in all classes at the Southern California Marching Band Contest in 1987; performing on national TV

in the Los Angeles Christmas Parade; winning over 100 fi rst class fi rst division medals ev-ery year for 15 years; receiving superior ratings and best in class four times at the Durango Fine Arts Festival and three times at the Colorado Springs Cavalcade of Music; earning 24 fi rst-division ratings at the district UIL marching contest; qualifying for the UIL all-region marching contest every year but one and advancing to the state contest eight times; and winning the Class 3A UIL state marching contest in 1985, 1986, 1988 and 1989. Riker served as Region 16 president for the Texas Music Educators Association and in 2000 was named outstanding teacher in Denver City. Having retired in 2003, Riker now judges contests and clinic bands in Texas and New Mexico and manages farm and ranch interests around Lamesa.

Budget matters will be a fo-cus of two meetings this com-ing Wednesday of the Dawson County Hospital District’s board of directors. Local residents will have an opportunity to comment on the district’s proposed budget for the 2014-2015 fi scal year during a public hearing set for 7:30 a.m. Wednesday in the community room at Medical Arts Hospital, 2200 North Bryan Avenue. The hearing on the budget is the only item on the agenda for that special called meeting. Following a presentation by Chief Financial Offi cer Jeff Weaver, the board is scheduled to consider adopting that bud-get during its regular monthly meeting at noon Wednesday, also in the hospital conference room. Board members at that meet-ing also are expected to take formal action cancelling the board elections that had been scheduled for May 10.

Only two candidates fi led last month for the two posi-tions up for election on the board this year. Incumbent Ted Smith is the only candidate for the Precinct 4 seat on the board and Cris Norris is the lone candidate in Precinct 2. Norris currently holds the Precinct 3 board po-sition but recently moved into Precinct 2. Kenneth Porterfi eld cur-rently represents Precinct 3 but opted not to see re-election to another term. Several items requiring an-nual action by the board also are among the items of new business on the agenda for Wednesday’s regular meeting. Those include: approval of the medical staff bylaws and rules/regula-tions; approval of departmental policies and procedures; approval of a list of medi-cal abbreviations; and

nomination/appointment of a chief of staff; vice chief of staff and secretary; departmen-tal directors and chairmen for the emergency room, physical therapy, pharmacy and quality improvement; and a physician champion for medical records. A closed executive session also is on the agenda to allow the board to receive a quarterly improvement and risk/safety report from Heidi Cobb, chief nursing offi cer and director of quality improvement and risk management. During that closed session the board may, if necessary, consult with attorney Craig Carter with the fi rm of Jackson and Carter regarding legal is-sues. An administrative report will be presented by Chief Ex-ecutive Offi cer Letha Hughes. CFO Jeff Weaver will present the fi nancial reports and ac-counts payable for approval by the board.

Hearing, action on budgeton slate for hospital board

The Lamesa Economic Al-liance Project (LEAP) board of directors will hold a work session during a special called meeting this week. That board meeting will get underway at 5:30 p.m. Mon-day in the Presidents Room of

the Lamesa Area Chamber of Commerce, 123 Main Avenue. During that work session, board members will be discuss-ing the policies and procedures for LEAP assistance require-ments, application format, proj-ect selection, and underwriting

criteria for LEAP applicants. Following the work session, the board may consider taking action to adopt those policies and procedures as discussed. No other business items are scheduled for Monday’s meet-ing.

Normally I’m a visual type of person when it comes to learn-ing and remembering things.

I can’t recall a name to save my life. Whenever I try to say someone’s name my brain sends that information away to hide somewhere – maybe in my little toe – in-stead of sending it to my mouth. That’s why I seldom intro-duce anyone by name, and why my wife has to tell me the names of our relatives on my side of the family. I’m only somewhat better with numbers. I can eventually memorize those that I use all the time – like my own phone number and the PIN for the gas pumps – but it takes a while. But my visual recollection is pretty good, although it too may be starting to fade with age. I can remember the composition of photos I took for the newspaper years ago. And while I may not be able to tell you when it appeared, I often can remember where on the front page of the newspaper that a photo or story was placed months or years in the past. So that’s what surprised me a few weeks ago when I returned to the stomping grounds of my youth to at-tend the funeral of a longtime family friend. The woman’s son was only a year behind me in our small high school, and our families were among a group of about fi ve families – all with kids about the same age –that regularly did things together. The son and I also had both attended Angelo State University for a couple of years – before I graduated and he strayed off course to become an Aggie. So, with a number of common friends in our past, I was expecting to see a number of our old high school and college buddies at his mom’s funeral. I did alright remembering the high school classmates who were on hand. But it was another matter when it came to some of the guys we ran around with in college. Not only could I not recall many of their names, but for a few I couldn’t even place their faces. Oh, I’d realize I ought to know them, but I just couldn’t think who they were. Until they spoke! And that really caught me by sur-prise. I’d spot someone I knew I should know – and I could tell from their expression that they knew me. But as we approached each other I would still be trying to fi gure out exactly who the person was until he opened his mouth. The sound quickly took be back some 35 years. Yep, that voice belonged to Chris. And that one to Ira. That guy was... well, now his name has failed me again when I need it. And once I heard each of their voices, I could then put their faces and names back together in my mind. It was kinda weird... Just as oddly, for the most part I could remember the girls – now ladies – by their appearance rather than their voices. I don’t know whether they’ve done a better job than the guys at main-taining their youthful appearance or that females just were better visually recorded in my mind when I was a young, single college student. But back to the guys... Once we got to talking it was just like old times, and I couldn’t imagine why I hadn’t earlier remembered their faces. So maybe I’m even more of an oral person than a visual one. Regardless, it was really nice to see some of the ol’ guys and get to renew acquaintances. But I hate that funerals are now what brings us back together. Russel Skiles is the publisher of the Lamesa Press-Reporter.

My whole life I have struggled with the question of whether I was a nice person doing

bad things or a bad person who was trying to be good. I don’t know if any-body else feels like this, but on most days it seems like it takes every ounce of Will E power to be a decent, civi-lized and nice human being. I have to try incredibly hard to be a good person in life. I wonder if it is this hard to be a good person for everyone else, or is it just me? I am the last guy you want having your back if you start a bar fi ght. I would run away with my tail between my legs. If you lose your wallet and I fi nd it, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for you. If I slam my car door into your vehicle in the parking lot of the grocery store don’t expect me to be responsible, considerate or to even leave a note. Sometimes during lucid moments of my existence I feel the compulsion to do good things and to be a good person. Such moments are fl eeting under the overbearing realization that the world is just a nasty place. I have been the recipient of an unaided bar brawl, a lost wallet and a dinged-up car door. These are all logical signs from the universe telling me that I should reciprocate such poor behav-ior. I was under one of the abovemen-tioned lucid moments of morally vir-tuous ambitions the other day while I was at a big-box store picking out a few birthday presents for Christine. Suddenly, an obviously lost child spilled out of an aisle and stumbled right into me. I don’t care who you are, from a saint to the meanest son of a female dog in the whole wide world, I like to think anyone placed in that situation would assist a small child. So that’s exactly what I did. Strike that. That’s exactly what I tried to do – up until a stranger butted in with an accusatory and skeptical tone. “Are you lost, little guy?” I asked the tyke. I had no sooner muttered the words when a busybody woman piped up and asked the young boy, “Do you know this man?” She looked at me as if I had ill intent. She scolded me with her judg-mental eyes. It was as if she mistook what I was carrying in my hands – a lovely birthday bouquet of tulips and an expensive box of chocolates – for something more sinister, like trash bags and zip ties. “Can I help you?” the nosy woman said, looking up at me with a gaze that would turn lesser men into stone. “Why are you talking to that child?” Apparently it’s a crime against common decency in this country to try to help a scared child who has wandered away from the not-so-watchful eyes of his mother. Is that what this world has come to? I realize I am a mysterious guy and I usually walk around with my hood up, but come on. How come I can’t help a lost child without some fearful moron assuming I am a kidnapper or worse? But I am the bad guy right, for what? Doing the right thing? Let’s not blame the easily-distract-ible mother of the lost child in ques-tion, a woman so devoid of parental responsibility that clearance sales outweigh maternal instinct. Mom’s a top-notch class act. I mean, she’s over in the kitchenware department counting coupons and paying no at-tention to the whereabouts of a tiny human being that once came out of her body. But no, it can’t be her fault. It’s my fault. Really, it is. It’s my fault for not doing what I normally would do and that’s minding my own business. I should have blissfully walked past an obviously lost child without cause for concern to any immediate danger he may or may not have been in. Agitated and unwilling to cuss in front of a small child, at that point I just walked away. I learned my lesson. Trying to be a good person is useless. From now on it’s going to be no more Mr. Nice Guy.

ForumDoing the rightthing usuallyisn’t worth it

Blue waffles become a staple in meal rotationWe’re a busy family, but what

family isn’t? My husband and I both work full time

outside of the home. Our two daugh-ters are involved in soft-ball, golf, basketball, the-ater, orchestra and church activities in addition to their schooling. They both volunteer with animals and missions and enjoy fun hobbies like swimming, running and reading. But we’ve always strived to have dinner to-gether. Unfortunately, that dinner was often called something like “Number Three Value Meal” and was eaten from a paper bag in front of the televi-sion as we all collapsed from our busy days. As much as I wanted to cook dinner for my family, I knew that I wouldn’t have time, or I’d spend a great deal of energy making some-thing that would not be pleasing to everyone. “I’ve got an idea,” I announced one Saturday as I sat down to make out our weekly grocery list. “What if each of you – even Daddy – took one day to fi x dinner? Anything you want. You tell me what day you want and what you want to fi x, and I’ll make sure that we have all the groceries you

need.” My ever-supportive husband jumped right in and said he’d take Friday nights. This week, he’d fi x sau-

sage casserole, his favorite meal. Our daughters were a bit more reluctant. My older daughter voiced her concerns fi rst. “You are sure we can fi x anything we want?” I nodded my head. “Anything at all?” her sister clarifi ed. “Anything at all.” “Even blue waffl es?” my older daughter asked. Blue waffl es? I wasn’t sure that I had even heard of blue waffl es. “I guess,” I

said tentatively. “I’m in,” my older daughter agreed. “And this week, I want to make blue waffl es, fried chicken and scrambled eggs.” I nodded and wrote down her menu. The night before she was to cook, my husband asked me, “What are blue waffl es?” Honestly, I had no idea what blue waffl es were, but I was willing to let my daughter make them in order for us to gain more qual-ity family time and to give myself a break from the kitchen.

When her day to cook dinner ar-rived, my older daughter asked me if I had a recipe for blue waffl es. I con-fessed that I didn’t even know what blue waffl es were. “They are just waffl es that are blue,” she answered. I handed her the waffl e recipe and the blue food color-ing. Since that meal, our daughters have turned out some mighty delicious pans of enchiladas, a great Italian quiche, homemade pizza and an awe-some grilled steak salad. I did nix the pepperoni and oatmeal casserole – we’re not that adventuresome! More importantly, we have a great time gathering as a family in the kitchen to assist the cook of the night, and we have come to appreciate being together at mealtime. I’m no longer stressed about providing a good meal every night, our daughters are contributing to our household, and they’re learning some delicious culinary skills. We all sit down together at the table to talk to each other about our days, and we’ve all learned to appreciate the effort it takes to put together a meal. We’ve also learned to appreciate blue waffl es – they’ve become a staple in our meal rotation.

The UsualEssentric

by Will E Sanders

In math, if you divide an infi nite number by any number, no mat-ter how large, you still have an

infi nite quotient. So Jesus’ love, being infi nite, even though it is divided up for every person on earth, is still in-fi nitely poured out on each one of us! - Spurgeon. In the book of John there are three passages that will help us launch this article. John 17:12 “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfi lled. John 18:9 “...Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.” Those who have come to Jesus are adopted into the family of God and are forever called “the children of God.” 1 John 3:1 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” The word “sons” can be translated “children.” We are the blood-bought children of God. God and the believer are family! Look, Jesus came to save, not to condemn. John 3:17 says, “For God sent not his Son into the world

to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” He currently is ready to be your Sav-ior, not your judge. He will ultimate-

ly become the judge, but He seeks you to come to Him while he is the Lamb of God. He wants to save you. He came to seek us out. Jesus was looking for me, not me looking for Him. Luke 19:10 says, “For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which is lost.” We were lost and needed to be found and saved from being lost in sin and dark-ness, headed for eternal darkness.

Jesus even equips us to receive Him by faith. He gives us the faith to believe because of His grace. Grace ... what a wonderful attribute of the Lord toward the lost! When He fi nds you, He gives you a pre-cious gift that enables you to receive Him as your Lord and Savior. He gives the gift of faith. Eph. 2-8 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Then as soon as we believe, He remains eternally with us. Heb. 13:5 says, “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself

has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” (NKJV) The word “never” pretty well settles it. Then, look at this. He fi nishes our faith. He has actually completed the course of faith for us, because He knows of each of our imperfections. Heb. 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and fi nisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Then He tells all true believers that He is coming for us. John 14:2-3 says, “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” He has prepared an eternal life home for us to which we will fi nally arrive. He will be coming for us to escort us to that external home. The love of Christ is phenomenal. No one on earth is able to love us like He loves us. You need to look up. He stands before you to be re-ceived by faith as your personal Lord and Savior. He stands ready to love you like no one else can nor ever will. He died your hell. He took your sins. Receive Him... Love Him.

By: Kay LedbetterTexas A&M AgriLife Extension Salinity, a major threat to groundwater quality, continues to be a problem for do-mestic and shallow wells in the southern Ogallala Aquifer in Texas, according to a re-cent Texas A&M AgriLife Research study. The paper, “Long-term (1960-2000) Trends in Groundwater Contamination and Salinization in the Ogallala Aquifer in Tex-as” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Hydrology. It is based on a re-search study by Dr. Srinivasulu Ale, AgriL-ife Research geospatial hydrology assistant professor, and Dr. Sriroop Chaudhuri, post-doctoral research associate, both in Vernon. “A distinct geographic pattern in ground-water contamination and associated salini-zation was apparent,” Chaudhuri said. This study indicates that in addition to aquifer depletion, groundwater contami-nation in this region should be taken into consideration when developing and imple-menting strategies for sustainable crop pro-duction, Ale said. Ale and Chaudhuri said although numer-ous studies have expounded on depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer, very few research-ers have studied its long-term groundwater quality, which relates to the “usability” of available groundwater resources. To achieve this goal, both horizontal and vertical variation in groundwater quality among different water-use classes were in-vestigated per their drinking water quality thresholds in the AgriLife Research study. “While assessment of groundwater con-tamination by water-use classes provides indication of human health hazards, un-derstanding depth-distribution of different solutes helps in identifi cation of the sources of contamination along the vertical profi le, which is critical to implementing effective wellhead protection measures,” Ale said. “We also made a qualitative attempt to identify major natural and anthropogenic (human) factors and study how they acted in conjunction to cause groundwater saliniza-tion and overall water quality degradation.” The Texas Water Development Board maintains a groundwater quality database with data from 1896 but Ale and Chaudhuri chose to compile data only for the past fi ve decades when more data was available and there was increased agricultural activity. The study distinguished water quality between the southern and northern Ogal-lala Aquifer regions in Texas, Ale said, cat-egorizing wells according to depth, mostly focusing on irrigation, public supply and domestic wells. Their objective was to monitor where el-evated concentrations of nitrates, sulfates, chlorides and total dissolved solids – a com-mon indicator of salinity – existed in the aquifer, and study how they had changed

over time from the 1960s to the 2000s, and how they affected groundwater quality. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets maximum contaminant levels and secondary contaminant levels, with the secondary level being a non-enforceable threshold limit that deals mainly with aes-thetic or odor, cosmetic or color, and tech-nical effects – corrosiveness, staining, scal-ing and sedimentation – in drinking water quality, Ale said. EPA’s secondary maximum contaminant level for dissolved solids is 500 parts per million and for chlorides and sulfates, is 250 parts per million. The maximum con-taminant level for nitrates is 44 parts per million. The southern Ogallala Aquifer region in Texas was characterized by substantially higher salinization, accompanied by sul-fate and chloride-dominated groundwater. The northern Ogallala Aquifer in Texas has lower salinization and predominantly bicar-bonate type groundwater, he said. Over 80 percent of the water quality ob-servations in the southern region have ex-ceeded the drinking water quality standards for sulfates, chlorides and/or nitrates since the 1980s, Chaudhuri said. He said more than 60 percent of the shal-low wells exceeded the secondary maxi-mum contaminant levels for total dissolved solids since the 1960s, indicating persistent salinization problems. About 35 percent of those wells exceeded the maximum con-taminant levels for nitrates. And, more than 40 percent of the shallow wells exceeded

the secondary maximum contaminant levels for both sulfates and chlorides in the 2000s. Groundwater contamination was more of a concern in shallow wells, which are abun-dant in southern parts of the Ogallala, and was indicated by signifi cantly higher lev-els of sulfates, chlorides, nitrates and total dissolved solids compared to deep wells, which mostly exist in the northern parts of the Ogallala. Groundwater salinization in the Ogallala Aquifer has resulted from a combination of natural and human processes, Chaudhuri said. Interestingly, he said, on several in-stances, natural processes were triggered by human activities. Important factors that led to salinization included groundwater mixing due to up-welling of highly mineralized groundwater from the underlying Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifer, seepage from playa lakes and saline plumes, ion-exchange and evap-orative enrichment. Movement of ground-water from underlying formations largely resulted from lowering of hydraulic heads in the Ogallala Aquifer due to prolonged groundwater withdrawal for irrigated agri-culture. Human factors that affected groundwater quality included agricultural activities – es-pecially for nitrate contamination – and hy-drocarbon exploration, he said. Overall, this study indicated that rising levels of various chemical species and salin-ity, frequently exceeding the environmental standards, is a growing concern in the Ogal-lala Aquifer, especially in the southern parts.

Recognizing the critical role farmers and ranchers play in nourishing today’s population and future generations, Agri-culture Commissioner Todd Staples en-courages Texans to join him in celebrat-ing National Agriculture Week, March 23-29, and National Agriculture Day on March 25. This year’s National Ag Week theme is “Agriculture: 365 Sunrises and 7 Billion Mouths to Feed.” “Agriculture is important to Texans 52 weeks a year,” Commissioner Staples said. “Next week, during National Agricul-ture Week, I ask all Texans to take the time to honor our dedicated farmers and ranchers. It’s critical to remember, food doesn’t grow on grocery store shelves. It takes hard work, sacrifi ce and persever-

ance to feed Texans, Americans and the world.” Agriculture contributes more than $100 billion to the Texas economy each year and supports approximately 1.8 million agriculture-related jobs, ranging from commodity trading to journalism and ad-vertising. “More than just food and clothing, agriculture contributes to our homes, health, lifestyle and the prosperity of this country,” Commissioner Staples said. “Today’s farmers and ranchers are more productive and effi cient than ever before, and as our population grows, there will be an even greater demand for food and fi ber. Without our incredible farmers and ranchers, Texas wouldn’t be the power-house of agricultural productivity that it is today.”

AIRLINE CAREERS BEGIN HERE

HERE IS THE PITCHGolden Tornado freshman Bryson Adcock pitched four strong innings here on Friday night against Brownfield to pick up the win on the mound in the home team’s big 5-2 District 4-2A league-opening victory over

their longtime rivals from Terry County. The Golden Tor baseballers will be look-ing to make it two straight in the 4-2A win column at Denver City in a game that has been moved up to Monday night.

Bear trap at SpikesBaseballers club Cubs in 4-2A opener While the Lamesa High School Golden Tors’ returning all-stater, Ramon Arguelles, continues to be their big fea-tured attraction on the mound there are a couple of budding young arms who are beginning to take form right in front of the local fans’ eyes. The Golden Tors used Friday night’s District 4-2A baseball opener against longtime rival Brownfi eld here at Joe Spikes Field to make that point once again. Freshmen southpaw Bryson Adcock and right-hander Jor-dan Morrison helped set the table before Arguelles applied the fi nishing touch on the Gold-en Tors’ big 5-2 league-opening victory over the Cubs. “We went into this one with a plan. We felt like they were expecting to see Ramon start-ing out tonight, but we went with those two young guns ear-ly before bringing out our big smoke there at the end,” Gold-en Tor Coach Jason Russell said. “Again tonight, we’re real pleased with how our young guys handled themselves, es-pecially against an opponent which has been a big time rival around here.” Afterward, Arguelles also voiced a great deal of pride in Lamesa’s promising young guns, Adcock and Morrison. “Those two young guys just really stepped up big tonight. You can tell that they’re just now getting into a good groove as far as feeling more and more comfortable,” Arguelles said. “They both did a good job of throwing strikes and then the rest of our guys did a great job backing them up as far as making the plays we needed to make in the fi eld.” Friday’s win improved the Golden Tors’ record to 11-4 on the year, but more importantly 1-0 in league play. “You always want to start off right and this was a result of a complete team effort,” Russell said. “There was some excep-tional defensive plays in this game tonight on both sides. “It’s neat watching how our young guys are stepping up and

growing up right in front of our eyes here lately.” With three freshmen and two sophomores, it defi nitely has been a youth movement that is paying big dividends for the home team on the diamond. The Golden Tors scored two runs each in both the fi rst and fourth innings and one big in-surance run here in the bottom half of the fi fth. After scoring this game’s fi rst run in the fi rst inning, the Cubs did not score again until the top of the sixth. “They’ll probably always be big time rivals around here,” Arguelles said. “It’s just one of those things which always goes back and forth between us. “We went all out tonight, but that’s something it’s going to take all the time from here on out in this district.” Arguelles not only got Fri-day night’s save by striking out three batters in the top of the seventh, but he also went two-for-three at the plate here on Friday. One of his hits was a triple. He also scored two runs. Bryson Adcock and Elijah Vasquez each had a hit. Vasquez also drove in one RBI. Adcock also scored one run. Nathan Salazar also had a big RBI in Friday’s win. “We’ve been preaching situa-tional hitting a lot lately,” Rus-sell said. “We’re still fi nding ways to bring people in. “We’re real proud of guys like Elijah, as far as in how they stepped up with some big at bats. It’s nice having guys like Ramon at the top of our order but we’re just as pleased with our situational hitting, which is something it’s going to keep taking for us to get where we want to get.” By pitching the fi rst four in-nings, freshman Bryson Ad-cock picked up the win on the mound. Adcock only allowed two hits in those fi rst four frames. Freshman Jordan Morrison pitched the next two innings where he gave up only two hits and struck out two Cubs. Arguelles then applied the fi nishing touch to Friday’s big

league-opening win with three big strikeouts in the top half of the seventh to close the deal. The Tor baseballers will be looking to make it two straight in the 4-2A win column when they pay a visit to Denver City to take on the Mustangs. That game that has been moved up to 4:30 p.m. Monday. “They’re really talented. It’ll be another big ball game for us,” Russell said of Monday’s trip to DC. “It’ll be a big match up be-tween two really good pitch-ers. One of their kids has also committed to playing at Odessa College. It’ll be neat to see these future teammates go head to head against each other.” Arguelles already has com-mitted himself to playing base-ball next year at OC.

Tor JV falls to Cubs The Golden Tors lost Friday evening’s JV baseball game to the Brownfi eld Cubs, 14-6. “We started showing there at the end of this game again today just how good of a team that we can be,” Tor JV Coach Grant Feaster said. “Probably the biggest thing we need more than anything is more playing time. “We’ve been playing lots of young kids who just don’t have much game experience. But, these guys are starting to understand how good they can be – that’s why they come to practice every day and work so hard when they’re out here.” Kyle Branson was the losing pitcher for the home team after pitching the fi rst three innings. O’Sean Williams also pitched an inning for the Tors’ JV. Josh Enriquez and Jake Cis-neros had two hits each to lead the Golden Tor JV’s hitting here on Friday evening at Spikes. Zack Garcia, Kyle Branson, O’Sean Williams and Jonathan Renault each had a hit. “These guys showed in this game again here tonight that they don’t have a problem hit-ting the ball. Now, we just need to start doing a better job of stringing hits together,” Feaster said of his JV bats.

Coyotes let opportunities slip Borden County head baseball coach Bubba Edwards cannot help but feel like his Coyotes are a hit here and there, just like a play or two away, from being right in the mix of things in the District 4-1A race. But after starting off this week by knocking off state-ranked Sundown, these Coy-otes let two big opportunities slip away losing a couple of 4-1A outings on Wednesday at Crosbyton and then on Friday to Ralls at Gail. “Tonight, we’ve got to feel like we’re one big hit or two away,” Coach Edwards said after watching his Coyotes fall 9-5 to Ralls on Friday at Gail. “We left bases loaded in the fi rst and third innings before letting a runner at second in the fourth and then at second and third in the fi fth. “We’re right there!” Ralls scored four runs in the third inning on Friday at Gail before scoring three more in the fourth and their fi nal two in the fi fth. The Coyotes, now 6-4-1 overall including 1-4 in district, scored one run each in the third and fourth innings and their fi -nal three in the fi fth. A couple of freshmen han-dled the mound duties on Fri-day for the Coyotes. Kace Lott pitched the fi rst three and one-third innings where he gave up seven hits and struck out four Jackrabbits. Hunter Jones pitched the fi nal three and two-third innings where he gave up only two hits and struck out fi ve batters. BC had 11 hits in Friday’s loss, including three from se-nior Hurrikane Richter. Mason Coor and Kurt Shafer had two hits each, while Hunter Jones, Tristen Benavidez, Thomas Harrison and Braxton Coor had one hit each for the home team. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to start putting more of these hits together where it’ll lead into more of those big innings,” Edwards said. “Unfortunately, with the way our schedule’s set up, we’re having to do that now in district.”

Coyotes also fall to Chiefs Borden County’s baseballers also had a good opportunity on Wednesday at Crosbyton at chalking up their second Dis-trict 4-1A win before falling just short against the Chiefs, 9-8. “This was another one of those games where Hurrikane (Richter) really pitched well enough for us to win. We’re up 8-3 going into the sixth,” BC’s Coach Edwards said of Wednesday’s frustrating defeat. “We ended up leaving too many runs out on the bases. We probably should have scored at least four more.” The Crosbyton Chiefs, how-ever, ended up pulling off that victory after scoring six runs in the fi nal two innings: four in the sixth inning and then two more in the seventh. “We had two big errors in the sixth. They never had a ball leave the infi eld in the sixth, but we still ended up giving up four runs,” Edwards said. By scoring four runs in

the fi rst inning, the Coyotes jumped out to an early 4-0 lead. After scoring one more run in the second inning, the Coy-otes did not score again until the fi fth when they scored one more before tallying their fi nal two in the sixth. Richter pitched all seven in-nings on Wednesday afternoon at Crosbyton. He struck out seven Chief batters. “But only two of those runs were earned,” Edwards said. Mason Coor, Kace Lott, Hur-rikane Richter and Kurt Shafer had two hits each for the Coy-otes in Wednesday’s heart-breaker. Coor also scored three runs. Richter and Shafer also drove in three runs each against the Chiefs. BC’s Korbin Martinez and Jordan Martinez had one hit each on Wednesday at Crosby-ton. BC continues 4-1A diamond play at 4:30 p.m. Monday with the quick road trip to O’Donnell to tangle with the Eagles.

CIRCLING THE BASESGolden Tornado junior center fielder Jadee Lugo circles third base here during Friday’s high school girls softball game against Brownfield at Joe Spikes Field. It was another busy evening on the base paths for the home team as the Golden

Tors tamed the Brownfield Cubs 10-0 for their second straight District 4-2A win of this season. The Tor softballers will be looking to make it three straight onMon-day evening at Denver City.

Taming the CubsSoftballers roll past Brownfi eld, 10-0 What a difference a year can make. This time a year ago, the Golden Tornado softballers found themselves trying to dig their way out of an 0-2 hole to start out the District 4-2A race.They eventually did, returning to the state playoffs where they ended up going four rounds deep in the post-season. But these Tor softballers took another step toward one of their goals, that being to cap-ture the 4-2A crown, by taming the Brownfi eld Cubs 10-0 here on Friday at Joe Spikes Field for their second straight league win. The Tornado softballers are now 16-4 overall. Afterward, Tor Coach Van-essa Rodriguez Hernandez was pleased with how her troop’s game looked, especially after a 10-day layoff. The Golden Tor softballers had been idle until the 11th of this month when they opened up league play with a win over Coahoma, also here at Spikes. “It’s been a while,” Coach Hernandez said, following Fri-day’s dominating performance. “We did a pretty good job when it comes to just keep-ing our focus, especially with that kind of a break. No, this wasn’t our best game – we’re still making mistakes. We’ve still got work to do on our base running. That’s a mental thing as much as anything. Part of that can go back to being out of our regular routine – no school and spring break – but there’s no doubt we’ve still got some work to do.”

The Tor softballers jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead here on Friday evening at Spikes in the bottom half of the fi rst in-ning. The home team went on to score two more runs in the third, one in the fourth and two in the fi fth in a game stopped after fi ve innings on high school ball’s 10-run rule. Senior Makayla Hunter turned in another complete game mound performance, striking out seven while giving up only one hit in this fi ve in-ning affair. A balanced hitting attack continues to help do the trick for the home team as seven dif-ferent sluggers had at least one hit each here on Friday. In addition to her mound magic, Hunter continues to swing a hot stick in the Tors’ line-up with three more hits here on Friday, including a double. She also drove in three RBIs. Lamesa’s Lydia Ledesma had one hit and three RBIs. Lamesa’s Mandee Rodriguez had a double and one RBI. Miranda Cortez had a single and drove in two RBIs. Darrian Doederlein, Jadee Lugo and Tori Rodriguez had one hit each. The Golden Tor softballers continue their 4-2A title quest with a trip to Denver City in a game that has been moved up to 7 p.m. Monday. The JV soft-ball game will get underway at 5 p.m. “More than anything, we’ve got to make sure that we’ve got ourselves focused,” Coach Hernandez said. “Hopefully,

we do a better job of getting ourselves re-grouped going into this next one. “Denver City’s got a team which can defi nitely compete. We need to be ready to com-pete, as well. Like we tell our kids, we want them to treat each game right now like it’s our last.”

Tors also win JV softball Friday was a clean sweep on the high school softball dia-mond for the Golden Tors as the home team also won the JV game against the Brownfi eld Cubs by a 7-5 margin. “By far, this is probably our best defensive game,” Coach John Alaniz said. “This was one of our better efforts there and a lot of that started with our pitcher trusting her defense behind her, as far as when it comes to backing her up. “We keep having people out, which forces us into shuffl ing people around. It says a lot about our kids in the way that they keep fi nding a way to get things done, especially when we’re in a jam.” The Tor JV softballers, now 6-7 on the year, scored three runs in the fi rst inning and then two runs each in the second and third innings. The Cubs scored four in the second and their other run in the third inning. Tabitha Lugo was the win-ning pitcher in Friday’s JV af-ter striking out four batters. Lamesa’s Tiffany Branson doubled, while the Golden Tors’ Kacie Santos also had a hit in Friday’s JV victory.

Softball signups winding up Registration continues here until Wednesday, March 26, for the Lamesa girls’ fast pitch softball association.

Registration fee is $65 per player in that league, which is for all girls ages fi ve to 14 years old.

Morenos box in state Golden Gloves Offi cially, they haven’t been a club very long but then it’s not taken them much time to make their presence inside that ring known on a regional or statewide levels. Fred Moreno Jr. and Timo-thy Moreno now do their box-ing for Gallitos Boxing Club where they recently competed in both the regional as well as state Golden Glove box-ing tournaments. Fred, age 28, competes in the heavy

weight division while 18-year-old Timothy boxes in the 110-pound division. The re-gional Golden Gloves was held in Lubbock while state Golden Gloves was staged down at Fort Worth. “Basically, we’re in this for those kids who just want to keep going. These guys are real dedicated and it shows in how hard they punch,” said Jose Reyes who along with his brother Xavier Reyes are

coaches for the Gallitos Club. Other members of that local boxing club are Daniella Reyes and Olivia Reyes. “Right now, we’re pretty tight on space but we’ve still got room for three or four more kids,” Jose said. This newly formed Box-ing Club is hoping to land its next punch on April 12 in the tournament which Lamesa’s Tornado Boxing Club will be having here.

March Madness! It was another exciting sea-son for local fans on the high school hardwoods as both the Golden Tors’ girls and boys made their way back to the state playoffs. Apparently that game’s fu-ture is not in bad hands, either. Three local young hoop squads as well as one from this area have their sights set on the Small School National Basket-ball Tournament, coming up next Thursday to Saturday at Lubbock. “We play by AAU rules. AAU’s pretty much straight up basketball – we go by a lot of the same rules that they do here in high school,” said Cindy Martinez, who not only coaches one of these four na-tionally-bound teams but also is president of that youth hoop league that calls itself Lamesa Basketball. “We run zone, traps, press, fast court – everything.” From the looks of things, lo-cal hoopsters should be in good shape at next weekend’s tour-nament in the Hub City. All four of the teams, which will be tipping it off again this weekend at Lubbock, won a tune-up tournament that was held right here in Lamesa a couple of weekends ago at the Lamesa Middle School, as well as Lamesa High School Gyms. “We went non-stop here that day,” Martinez said. “We started playing games that day at eight that morning and we didn’t start our last game that night until after eight that night. “After having some of those people here that weekend want-ing to know when we were go-ing to have another one, we’d have to think that it went off well.” The tournament showcased young hoop talent from the second on up to sixth grades in both boys and girls basketball. In addition to the host teams, other cities represented here that weekend on the hardwoods were Seminole, Seagraves, Brownfi eld and Greenwood. Among the local teams who fi nished out on top that week-end in their particular age brackets were the Lamesa Ni-tro in the third and fourth grade girls, Lamesa Havoc in the fi fth and sixth grade boys, Little Tors in the second grade girls and Klondike in the third and fourth grade boys. “We feel like we’ll do well

again in this tournament at Lub-bock,” Martinez said. “It’s not like our kids have been winning these games by just one or two points. “These kids have been pretty dominant in every game that they’ve played so far.” Another local hoop squad that put on a good showing in that tournament here was the Lamesa Stars, who fi nished sec-ond in the fi fth and sixth grade girls. That team, which was coached by Malachi Salazar and Christel Whited, included Daijah Whited, Devinne Cantu, Selah Hill, Andrea Rodriguez, Alissa Hernandez, Natasha Hil-burn and J’Lynn Jackson. “We started out our season with two girls on our team who never played any basketball be-fore,” Martinez said of her fi rst-hand experience with Little Tors. “They’ve gotten to a point now where they can run two or three different defenses. We’re talking about now being able to run zones and traps at this age. They’re very coachable.” At such a rate that still often catches Martinez by surprise. “I’ve been coaching for nearly 20 years. In the past, we coached 10 year olds on up,” Martinez said. “It’s amazing seeing these kids do what they can at their age level. “These kids not only know the game, but they can also adjust very well. We’re talk-ing about doing things like set-ting up an in-bounds play that we might have just called in a time-out and then going out

and running something that we might not have even practiced before in practice.” Lamesa basketball’s future defi nitely appears to be in good hands and with leagues like this only should help set good groundwork for those futures. “Right now, the winning and losing really doesn’t matter as much to us as the making sure that they know the basic

fundamentals,” Martinez said. “Hopefully, by doing what we’re doing now, these kids will have those fundamentals by the time they get to junior high and then up in high school.

“We’ve a got a daughter (Reagan) who helps teach a lot of the things that they see at their level, which is also very essential to our level.”

Area hoopstersearn all-region A month after fi nishing their high school hoop careers as team-mates in the Region I-IIA Tournament at South Plains College in Levelland, Sands High School seniors Monty Timmins and Jerad Staggs still fi nd themselves as teammates on a couple of elite squads. Timmins and Staggs earned fi rst-team all-region from both the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches as well as the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association. Timmins, Class 1A Division II District 6A’s Offensive MVP, averaged 11 points, four assists, three steals and four rebounds per game for the Mustangs, who reached that Region I-IIA Tour-nament for the second time in the past three seasons. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Staggs averaged 11 points and nine rebounds per game for Coach Billy Grumbles’ Sands boys who now have reached at least the third round of the state playoffs each of the past four seasons. Staggs still has one game left in his schoolboy career after also being selected to represent 6A in this summer’s Texas Six-Man Coaches Association’s all-star basketball game, which has been moved to Wichita Falls. This Sands’ hoop duo is two out of a handful of area players to earn all-region recognition. Borden County’s senior Taylor Gass also earned all-region honors from both the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches as well as the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association. Gass, 6A girls’ offensive MVP, averaged 13.2 points, 10 re-bounds, 6.8 steals and 6.3 assists, while leading the Gail girls back to the post-season. Like Sands’ Staggs, BC’s Gass also was picked to play in this summer’s TSMCA all-star hoop tilt at Wichita Falls. A couple of other area girls who earned second-team all-region from the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association were Sands’ senior Kendra Staggs and O’Donnell’s Alyssa Barton. A three-year starter at Ackerly, Kendra Staggs averaged 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots per game for the Mustang girls. Barton was one of the driving forces in a 20-win season for the O’Donnell High School girls.

ong before there were airplanes, people dreamed of flying. Courageous dreamers like the WrightBrothers made the dream a reality.

The first pilots were always testing the limits of speed, distance and altitude.

One pilot also challenged the role of women. Her name wasAmelia Earhart.

When Amelia was a youngwoman, it was not considered “ladylike” to becomea pilot. Very few women had ever learned to fly. ButAmelia was raised to be her own person and tofollow her heart.

In 1920, she paid $1 for a 10-minute ride in anairplane. “As soon as I left the ground,” she wrotelater, “I knew I myself had to fly.” Little did sheknow that she would become one of the world’smost famous pilots.

Amelia Earhart set many flying records. As a crew memberof the Friendship Flight in 1928, she was the first womanever to fly across the Atlantic.

Four years later, Amelia flew her own plane across thevast Atlantic Ocean alone.

Where did she land? Follow these instructions and usethe map to find out.

Amelia wanted to be the first person to fly aroundthe world. In 1937, she took off from Oakland,California.

Near the end of her journey, all contact was lost andAmelia Earhart was never heard from again. Somesay she crashed. Others think she landed on a SouthPacific island and stayed there the rest of her life.

The story of her disappearance remains a mystery.But it is the story of her life that inspires others togreat courage. She blazed new trails in flying, shapingadvancements in flight that we enjoy today.

Forrest Fest organizerannounces date change

Thom O’Lamesa,The World Poet

After moving Forrest Fest to the weekend before the Chicken Fried Steak Festival a couple of years ago, orga-nizer Connie Williams and her daughters, Abby Jennings, Melissa Williams and Desiree Henley, have decided to re-schedule Forrest Fest this year to the same weekend as the Chicken Fried Steak Festival on April 26-27. However, the venue for the poetry, prose and artistic event has moved to the Pioneer Park Community Center at South 2nd Street and Avenue O. “We will do our community service on Friday, which in-cludes visits to the retirement centers and the radio station,” said Williams. “We will do our tree planting/celebration on Friday afternoon. We will

have a booth in Forrest Park all day Saturday with an open mic, writing workshops, mud

art workshops and our books and CDs will be available for sale.” Among the featured poets and performers will be Thom O’Lamesa (the World Poet); Dr. Chuck Taylor of Texas A&M; Ken Jones of Hous-ton; Bob Mud of Australia; Kat Copland of Midland; John Levacy, the Cowboy Poet of Lubbock; Shub Schiesser of Austin; Daniel Ramos of Mid-land; and Candace Samuelson of Abilene. The Austin International Po-etry Festival on April 3-6 will offer the poets a chance to pre-view their Forrest Fest works of art and word before attend-ing the event on April 26-27. Forrest Fest may be found on the internet on a Facebook page.

Admit WhenYou’re Wrong

Whoever conceals histransgressions will not

prosper, but he whoconfesses and forsakes

them will obtain mercy.Proverbs 28:13

Page 4B Sunday, March 23, 2014 Lamesa Press-Reporter, Lamesa, TX

One of the barriers to good relations is whenpeople dig their heels in and refuse to admit

when they are wrong. Many an argumentcould be shortened by the offending partysimply admitting his offense and sincerely

asking for forgiveness. In fact, manyarguments could be avoided by apologizingor admitting ahead of time that you mightbe wrong. It is always a good disarming

tactic to let people know that you could bewrong about something, or to offer your

apologies in advance for what you are aboutto do. Moreover, people who refuse to

apologize even when they know they arewrong, or who offer insincere apologies are

seen as pride-fi lled, dishonest, and notinterested in smooth relations. If you wantto get along with your family, friends andcolleagues, be quick to admit when you’re

wrong. This advice also applies to yourrelationship with God. That is, admit to God

when you have sinned and accept Hisforgiveness just as readily.

Teen fights depression despite his good gradesBy Abigail Van Buren©2014 Universal Uclick DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old boy in ninth grade. I have depression, and I don’t know what to do. I always feel like I’m not good enough for any-thing, even though I have had a 4.0 GPA since seventh grade. I have repeatedly cut myself, but I wear a bracelet so no one can see it. I don’t want my family to fi nd out because I’m afraid they will treat me like a poor little kid who is too easily offended. I don’t know what to do or who I can go to for help. Thank you for any help you can give me. – DROWNING IN DESPAIR DEAR DROWNING: When a person is experienc-ing so much emotional pain that he (or she) is self-injur-ing, it’s time to get profes-sional help to deal with it. Ideally, you should be able to talk to your parents about the depth and duration of your depression. But because you feel you can’t, talk with a trusted teacher or counselor at school about it, or an adult relative you feel close enough to confi de it to. Cutting is not the answer because it only brings temporary relief from the issues you have that need resolving. I care about you, and I’m glad you asked me this ques-tion. Please don’t postpone following my advice.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are retired. Everything was great until about six months ago, when things radically changed. The issue is I stopped shav-ing every day. I did it when I was working, but I don’t feel the need to do it now. My wife strongly disapproves. She claims my unkempt appearance is a direct, negative refl ection on her. I feel it refl ects only on me. I have told her I will shave prior to any social engagement we both attend, as well as pub-lic events like civic club, etc. The guys I play cards with also go unshaven. My wife has threatened to cancel card games with friends, cancel our weekend trip to her brother’s birthday celebration, cancel our upcoming European river cruise, refuses to kiss me and said some things I can’t re-peat. Is there anything I can do to appease this lady I love dear-ly? – LAID BACK IN MICHI-GAN DEAR LAID BACK: One thing comes to mind – you could shave.
