3 Ensembles Head to Austin

(l to r) Charlie Strawn, Callie Thornton, McKay Wilkerson, Millie Graham, and Zion King comprise one of the three ensembles representing Claude High School at competition in Austin, Texas. photo courtesy of Claude ISD

A fter weeks upon

weeks of prepara-

tion, members of

the Spirit of the ‘Stangs

band traveled to Canyon

for Region 1 solo and

ensemble contest. There,

students performed their

pieces for judges with a

trip to the state contest on

the line.

Following Christmas

break, students formed

ensembles or began work-

ing on their solos. Unlike

marching and concert

contest, preparing for solo

and ensemble isn’t done

in the classroom with

Mrs. Thornton, but on

their own time. The junior

high contest was held on

February 2 at Palo Duro

High School. While there

were many kids that made

the trip, the flute, clarinet,

and trumpet ensembles

went home with a first

division. The flute trio

consisted of Abby Britten

(7), Sadie Ray (7), and

Annsley Rawlins (7). The

clarinet ensemble was

seventh graders Shelden

Kemp-Stone, Elijah

Groves, K’Lynn Menz,

and Averee Eddleman.

The final ensemble to

make a first division was

Aiden White, Cody Kel-

ley, and Chris Dyess.

In high school, those

who played a Class 1 solo

or ensemble and received

a first division would

qualify for the state con-

test in May. With this in

mind, the percussion and

brass ensembles began to

go to work. The ensem-

bles would practice every

day, and had clinics with

directors from the area.

One Saturday morning,

the brass ensemble trav-

eled to Dalhart to have a

clinic with Mr. Paslay,

and the percussion re-

ceived help from Panhan-

dle assistant director.

On the day of contest,

the ensembles traveled to

West Texas A&M Uni-

versity. The brass ensem-

ble consisting of Millie

Graham, Charlie Strawn,

Callie Thornton, McKay

Wilkerson, and Zion King

preformed “Largo and

Finale” for the judge, and

percussion members Ally

Giles, Jenna Cooper,

Brady Gabel, Alyssa

Higgs, and Danielle

Higgs played “Disaster”.

Brayden Vidaurri, Albert

Spencer, and Steven Hays

performed their class 2

clarinet trio. All three

ensembles received a first

division, and the judge

offered both praise and

corrections for future per-

formances.

While the three en-

sembles will make the trip

to Austin, only the brass

and percussion class 1

ensembles qualify to

compete. The state con-

test will be held May 26-

28, and as the stakes are

raised, the students will

be vying for a first divi-

sion.

Fleta Barnett, Sheriff

“Omri did evil in the

sight of the Lord,

and acted more wickedly

than all who were before

him. For he walked in all

the way of Jeroboam the

son of Nebat and in his

sins which he made Israel

sin, provoking

the Lord God of Israel

with their idols. Now the

rest of the acts of Omri

which he did and his

might which he showed,

are they not written in the

Book of the Chronicles of

the Kings of Israel? So

Omri slept with his fa-

thers and was buried in

Samaria; and Ahab his

son became king in his

place. Now Ahab the son

of Omri became king over

Israel in the thirty-eighth

year of Asa king of Judah,

and Ahab the son of Omri

reigned over Israel in Sa-

maria twenty-two

years. Ahab the son of

Omri did evil in the sight

of the Lord more than all

who were before him. It

came about, as though it

had been a trivial thing

for him to walk in the sins

of Jeroboam the son of

Nebat, that he married

Jezebel the daughter of

Ethbaal king of

the Sidonians, and went to

serve Baal and worshiped

him. So he erected an al-

tar for Baal in the house

of Baal which he built in

Samaria. Ahab also

made the Asherah.

Thus Ahab did more to

provoke the Lord God of

Israel than all the kings of

Israel who were before

him.” 1 Kings 16:25-33

(NASB)

I have heard people

say today, “The Presi-

dents keep getting worse.”

We often think back and

see things the way they

used to be and think the

world is getting more cor-

rupt all the time. In some

areas this is rightly so.

But look back through

time all the way to the

Old Testament and we

can see a roller coaster of

fluctuation between evil

and righteousness. The

Israelites were constantly

going from wicked to

good. They, for some

reason, could not see that

whenever the leaders and

people turned to God,

God was pleased and He

blessed them. Life was

always so much better

(such as defeating the

enemy, food, and living

conditions) when they

served God. There will

always be wicked people

in the world; but, God

gives us a choice to fol-

low the world or follow

Him. I do believe that

God also expects us to

follow Him by standing

up against sinful acts such

as abortion, homosexuali-

ty, etc. Do we have a

voice that stands for God

and His wishes, or do we

just remain silent while

evil occurs? God’s

prophets stood up for

Him. Kings such as Joash

stood up for Him during

his 40-year reign as King

of Judah.

We have many cham-

pions in the Bible who

take a stand for God and

His wishes. We have to

ask ourselves today if we

are taking a stand for right

or showing acceptance to

evil doers.

Many people don’t

want to change their lives

to fit God’s wishes. How-

ever, they do want people

around them to accept the

way they choose to live.

Will the world change for

the worse due to our si-

lence and perceived

“acceptance” of wrong

doing?

The fight for good

and uprightness is a life-

time battle. Are we up for

the challenge?

Rebecca Ellison is this weeks player

of the week. Becca has really turned

it on during district play. She has

stepped up her individual play

which has really helped our team

excel. Last week Rebecca played

two solid district games and looks to

have a huge impact in the playoffs.

Mike Evans Mike has been a steady player for us

all year. He plays with an aggressive

mind set that makes him a danger-

ous offensive player. Mike has im-

proved his shooting and defense this

season and has become a relatable

all around player. He continues to

work hard and is an integral part of

our plans for the future.

This week the boys

took two hard losses

against the Panhandle

Panthers and the Wheeler

Mustangs. They fought

well, but unfortunately

came up short.

Against Panhandle,

the boys played hard and

did their very best. Ty Ivy

led the team with eight-

een points and two steals.

Mason Smith was behind

Ivy with five points and

an assist. Rounding out

the Mustangs scorers of

the night was Tristan

Sims with five points and

one steal. They played a

tough game against some

really good opponents.

Brady Gabel even com-

mented, “It’s always fun

playing Panhandle. They

challenge us both mental-

ly and physically.” The

final score was 28-74.

Friday night, the

boys traveled to Wheeler

and fought against the

Mustangs. They played

well and stuck with them

for the majority of the

game; however, it was a

very tough loss for the

team. “Wheeler was a

tough loss because it took

any chance of going to

playoffs away. It was

upsetting knowing that

our season is going to be

over earlier than we had

hoped.” Ty Ivy led the

team again. Ivy had six-

teen points, two steals,

and two assists. Follow-

ing Ivy in the Wheeler

game was Mason Smith

with eight points and a

steal. Rounding out the

team’s top three was

Brady Gabel with five

points and an assist.

Wheeler was a tough

loss, but the Mustangs

can take pride in knowing

that they played their

very best. The final score

was 39-56.

The Mustangs have

three games left in their

season. Come out and

support them as they look

for a win in district.

BY SYDNEY KNOX

Mustangs Keep Fighting

(StatePoint) As the

population ages, more

people (particularly

women) will be

“sandwiched” in between

taking care of their par-

ents or other family

members in need, and

their children.

Take telenurse and

nurse educator Kathie

Wells, RN, BSN, CCM.

At age 55, she is juggling

full-time work, while

raising school-age kids

and caring for her hus-

band Robert, 64, who

was diagnosed with Park-

inson’s disease (PD) in

2002.

As a nurse, Wells

understood the onset and

progression of PD, which

often includes motor

symptoms such as trem-

or, rigidity and balance

issues. But her husband’s

disease progressed in a

surprising way when he

began to see and believe

things that weren’t real.

PD is a neurodegen-

erative brain disorder

often involving both mo-

tor and non-motor

symptoms, including

hallucinations and delu-

sions. When those symp-

toms appear, it may be

Parkinson’s disease psy-

chosis (PDP) and it oc-

curs in more than half the

people with Parkinson’s

during the course of their

disease. Yet, only 10 to

20 percent of patients

will proactively report

their hallucinations and

delusions to their doctor.

When Wells’ hus-

band began to experience

delusions, she found his

behavior frustrating and

alarming. For example,

Robert would spend

hours in the yard digging

up garden stones, con-

vinced he’d found valua-ble “treasure.” Neighbors

remarked on Robert’s

behavior and his children

wouldn’t invite friends

over to avoid them seeing

their dad relentlessly dig-

ging. Robert’s delusions

combined with his other

PD motor symptoms

were hard for Wells to

manage. She struggled to

get enough sleep caring

for Robert, and their chil-

dren were hesitant to go

out in public with their

father because he shared

his treasure hunting sto-

ries with strangers all the

time.

While there’s cur-

rently no cure for PD,

there are different treat-

ment options to address

both motor and non-

motor symptoms. Wells

says it was a relief when

her husband’s neurologist

suggested an FDA-

approved medication in-

dicated for the treatment

of hallucinations and de-

lusions associated with

PDP.

Wells recommends

the following to caregiv-

ers of people with Parkin-

son’s.

• Consider talking to

a professional, as care-

givers are more likely to

experience relationships

or social life suffering

and emotional stress than

non-caregivers. Likewise,

caregiving can take a toll

on physical health. Take

time to sleep, de-stress,

eat well and exercise.

• Seek logistical and

emotional help from fam-

ily, friends, support

groups and advocacy

groups, who often have

free resources available.

For example, the Parkin-

son’s Foundation has

advice for caregivers and

a helpline staffed by

nurses, social workers

and therapists.

• Even if you under-

stand your loved one’s

condition, report new

symptoms or concerns to

a healthcare provider as

they arise. “I now know

that delusions along with

hallucinations are telltale

signs of Parkinson’s dis-

ease psychosis, however,

I didn’t recognize those

symptoms immediately,”

says Wells.

Shianne Ivy

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s another Ivy graduate! This week’s Senior Spotlight is Shi Ivy. Shi has lived in Claude for the past years. Shi lists her favorites as class: Algebra, teacher: Mrs. Price, Food: McDonalds, color: gray and her music is Country.

While attending CHS Shi has been involved in Student Council, track and softball. After graduation Shy plans to attend Clarendon College and go through their nursing program. Shi has been in Claude for many years but her favorite memory is “when our football team beat Wheeler.” In her free time Shi likes to “watch Criminal Minds and solve puzzles.”

Shi is the only girl in seven kids and that makes her one tough young lady. Her role model is another tough lady, her mom Necole Ivy who Shi describes as “someone with a kind and open soul.” Shi is going to miss Mighty’s when she leaves Claude and loves that in Claude “there is always the atmosphere of knowing you can count of someone.” Shy, like all Ivy children, will go on to do amazing things and make Claude very proud.
