Democratic Primary Runoff Election

ERIC RAMIREZ

KLONDIKE

Congrats, Eric!

Love, The Vargas Family

By Herrel HallmarkLamesa Press-Reporter Either a number of Republican voters in Dawson County had a change of opinion since March or they simply did not bother to vote in the Republican Party Primary Runoff Election held on Tuesday. Three of the four Republican candidates on the ballot in the run-off election carried the majority of the Dawson County vote back in the March 4 primary, but lost the runoff election on Tuesday, accord-ing to unoffi cial election returns. Republican incumbent Lieuten-ant Governor David Dewhurst was defeated by challenger Dan Patrick in Tuesday’s runoff election. Pat-rick had received 65.07 percent of the vote, while Dewhurst got 34.92 percent with over 98 percent of the precincts reporting statewide. Patrick will face Democrat Leticia Van De Putte in the No-vember General Election. Van De Putte was unopposed in the Democratic Party Primary Election held back on March 4. Patrick received 68.22 per-cent or 161 votes in Dawson County for Tuesday’s runoff election, while Dewhurst got 31.78 percent or 75 votes. Back in the March 4 prima-ry, Dewhurst carried Dawson County with 46.96 percent of the vote compared to 22.82 percent for Patrick. Ken Paxton received the nod from Republicans on Tuesday as their nominee for Attorney Gener-al. Paxton had received 63.63 per-cent of the runoff election vote and Dan Branch had 36.36 percent. Paxton will face Democrat

Sam Houston in the November General Election. Houston was unopposed in the Democratic Party Primary Election. For Dawson County, Paxton re-ceived 59.40 percent or 139 votes in the runoff election, while Branch had 40.60 percent or 95 votes. In the March primary Branch had a slight lead locally with 37.64 percent of the county vote com-pared to 35.83 percent for Paxton. Sid Miller will be the Repub-lican Party’s candidate for Com-missioner of Agriculture in the November General Election. He will face Jim Hogan, who won Tuesday’s Democratic Party Pri-mary Runoff Election against Richard (Kinky) Friedman. Miller got 53.08 percent of the statewide vote on Tuesday and Tommy Merritt received 46.91 percent in the Republican runoff. Locally on Tuesday, Miller had 59.65 percent or 136 votes com-pared to 40.35 percent or 92 votes for Merritt. Back in the March primary, Merritt had 36.21 per-cent of the Dawson County vote while Miller got 25.49 percent. Hogan was selected by Democrats statewide as their candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture as he carried 53.59 percent of the vote in the run-off election, compared to 46.40 percent for Friedman. Only 10 Dawson County vot-ers marked Democratic ballots in Tuesday’s runoff election with Hogan getting 56 percent or fi ve votes and Friedman re-ceiving 44 percent or four votes. In the March primary Hogan had

51.31 percent of the county vote and Friedman got 34.08 percent. Ryan Sitton won the Repub-lican nomination for Railroad Commissioner in Tuesday’s state-wide runoff as he defeated Wayne Christian. Sitton claimed 57.24 percent of the vote across the state, while Christian got 42.75 percent. Sitton will face Democrat Steve Brown in the November General Election. Brown won the Democratic Party nomination in the March Primary Election. For Dawson County Sitton got 67.40 percent or 153 votes on Tuesday and Christian received 32.60 percent or 74 votes. In the March primary, Sitton had 40.74 percent of the vote in the county and Christian had 29.90 percent. In the only other Democratic Party runoff on Tuesday, David M. Alameel has been nominated as the candidate for United States Senator to face incumbent Re-publican Senator John Cornyn in the November General Election. Cornyn won the Republican primary back in March. Alameel received 72.54 per-cent of the statewide vote in Tuesday’s runoff, while Kesha Rogers got 27.45 percent. Locally, Alameel received 90 percent or nine votes in the Democratic Party runoff election on Tuesday in Dawson County and Rogers got 10 percent or one vote. In the March primary elec-tion Alameel got 41.26 percent of the Dawson County vote and Rogers had 23.42 percent. No local candidates ap-peared on either runoff ballot.

By Herrel HallmarkLamesa Press-Reporter Renovation of the Dawson County Fair Barn into an all-pur-pose building, which can be used for more events than just the annual livestock show, is well underway. The exterior of the metal frame building already has been “re-skinned” with new metal siding and roofi ng in place, while the interior has new lighting and exhaust fans. The permanent livestock pens have been removed and the areas where those pens had been located have been fi lled in with concrete, as have other parts of the building, to create a level concrete fl oor through-out the entire building. “This project is well underway but, in order to fi nish it, we need to purchase some portable (live-stock) pens,” Dawson County Judge Foy O’Brien told the Dawson County Commissioners Court on Tuesday afternoon. With portable pens, Judge O’Brien pointed out, the pens could be taken apart after the annual Dawson County Junior Livestock Show and stored in some other location.

“We knew this was coming,” Judge O’Brien said about the portable pens, “just as we know we will have to tackle new bleachers, as well, so specta-tors will have somewhere to sit at the livestock show.” Judge O’Brien said the cost of portable pens will be more than the $50,000 threshold for county purchases, so bids are required for the pens. Commissioner Nicky Goode made a motion to advertise for bids for new portable pens for the fair barn. That motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell Cox. Commissioners Goode, Cox and Tony Hernandez, along with Judge O’Brien, all voted in favor of the motion. Commissioner Ricky Minjar-ez was absent from Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting. Dwaine Brown, a community leader who has led local efforts to renovate the fair barn, said with portable pens that can be removed when not needed the fair barn cur-rently has around 14,000-square feet of usable fl oor space. “Those who have looked at it (after the initial renovation) have been amazed at how much

fl oor space is available for other events,” Brown said. He added, “The changes also make the live-stock show ring more accessible for those who want to attend, while also making the building more accessible for other events.” Although there are no heat-ing or cooling fi xtures planned for the building, Brown said, it probably has a 15-20 degrees difference when the inside temperature is compared to the outside temperature due to the insulation that has been added. Funding for renovation of the fair barn has been provided by the Weaver Foundation and Dawson County. In a separate agenda item that dealt with the fair barn, the commissioners court agreed to declare the old light fi xtures that have been removed from inside the fair barn as surplus and to advertise them for sale on the GovDeals website. “They’re not junk ... they do work and the bulbs still are in them,” Judge O’Brien said about those light fi xtures. “I’m sure somebody would want them, if we put them on the website for sale.”

County will seek bids forportable pens at fair barn

By Herrel HallmarkLamesa Press-Reporter The Dawson County Com-missioners Court spent more than an hour in two separate closed, executive sessions held near the end of Tuesday after-noon’s regular meeting. After that fi rst closed session, which lasted approximately 47 minutes, “to discuss possible litigation” with the county at-torney, the commissioners court took action after reconvening into its open session. Commissioner Russell Cox made a motion to allow the county attorney to act on behalf of Dawson County to communi-cate with the responsible parties in regard to an asphalt project on county roads. Cox said that mo-

tion included possible litigation. That motion was seconded by Commissioner Tony Hernandez. Commissioners Cox, Hernan-dez and Nicky Goode, along with County Judge Foy O’Brien, all voted in favor of the motion. Commissioner Ricky Min-jarez was absent from Tues-day’s meeting. Members of the commission-ers court had met with County Attorney Steve Payson, along with County Road Supervisor Doug Isaacs and County Audi-tor Rick Dollahan behind closed doors during that fi rst session. The commissioners court, along with Dollahan, returned into a sec-ond closed, executive session “on purchasing real property.” Payson also was called into that closed session a few minutes later.

After about 17 minutes be-hind closed doors, the com-missioners court reconvened in open session and Judge O’Brien said no action would be taken in regard to that closed session. He said the commissioners court had been discussing the purchase of some property lo-cated just north of the Lee Roy Colgan Building (previously the Dawson County Community Building and more widely known as the Women’s Building). Judge O’Brien said the prop-erty is the “old Evans place” and measures approximately 0.582 of an acre. He said it is listed for sale by Bethel Nix Realty at $50,000. “It’s only appraised at $12,710,” Judge O’Brien stat-ed, “so we feel we are way too far apart to even make an offer.”

As a parent, I’ve spent most of my adult life telling my chil-dren, don’t do this and don’t

do that. Don’t, don’t, don’t – I’m about tired of telling them don’t. Maybe it’s time I told them to do some things. So here at graduation, I’m gonna share a few “to do” things.... Eat a good breakfast. Eat protein to help you get through the day. But sneak a powdered donut into the mix every now and then. Go out and play in the rain and mud whenever it does rain. These last four years of drought have made me appreciate the rain even more, I hope you will do the same. Hum “Singin’ in the Rain” when you are splashing in puddles. Go fl y a kite. I remember when Kaleb and Katy were little that we’d go fl y kites and we’d just smile and smile. I don’t know what it is about watching a pretty colored toy fl oat about in the wind stream above that brings such joy to the heart. Get chocolate sprinkles on your ice cream. I never splurged on those for my kids when they were growing up, and hey, sometimes you just really need some chocolate sprinkles. Go to church with your friends or your roommates once in a while. I was raised a Methodist and we raised our kids in the Draw Methodist Church. But I want Kaleb and Katy to fi nd the church and denomination that is right for them. And please put something in the offering plate. It costs a lot to keep a church going. Air conditioning, heating, bulletins all cost money and if church-goers don’t put something in the offering plate, many churches may someday close. Volunteer for something – anything – that benefi ts a group of people other than you or your friends. It takes time, it takes effort, but I can promise you it will make you a better person where it counts. Go to a concert to see your favor-ite band or individual singer. Even if you have to drive for hours, take the time. Rock and country singers sometimes die from the lifestyle that they live, so go when you get the chance. Sometimes you just “gotta rock and roll and night and party ever-y-day!” (KISS lyric) For Katy, buy fl owers for yourself. Don’t wait for some hairy-legged boy to buy you fl owers. Go out and buy a colorful bouquet. There are people doing jobs that you wouldn’t want to work at, no matter what the circumstances, so please be nice to those people. Put lotion on your feet. Keep your heels moist. Deep cracked heels can feel like a bone spur and that’s a hor-rible pain to endure. Dress up on Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t be afraid to don a crazy wig and have a great time. People who think you are childish or stupid are just jealous that they didn’t think of dressing up like a witch covered in spiders or as a leprechaun. Have a good time. Laugh a lot! Trust yourself, you know what you’ve been taught. Don’t second-guess yourself. That inner whisper will serve you well. Take in information from all sides and yet trust, in the end, that you and you alone know what’s best for you. I guess that could be a bit of gradu-ation advice here on the Wednesday before graduation Friday. Congratulations Class of 2014! Regina Crutcher is a reporter for the Lamesa Press-Reporter.

Early voting ended May 23 and Tuesday, May 27, was state primary election runoff day.

Voting records available to the pub-lic at the Offi ce of the Secretary of State show that turnout is historically low for mid-term primaries and even lower for primary runoff elections. But what’s different about this set of runoffs — and something that should stimulate voter turnout — were the power-ful offi ces at stake. Tops in that regard was the race for lieutenant governor, the state’s second-highest-ranking executive post. Three of the lieutenant governor’s many important duties are picking commit-tee chairs and members, controlling the fl ow of legislation and shepherding the state budget as a member of the Legislative Budget Board. Republicans voting in the runoff for lieutenant governor chose between in-cumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst of Houston and challenger Dan Patrick, a state senator representing northwest Houston. Dewhurst, as lieutenant governor, has presided over the Senate since 2003. Patrick, fi rst elected in 2007, served as chair of the Senate Committee on Education in the 2013 regular session of the Legislature. The winner will face Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio, a state sena-tor who ran unopposed in the March Democratic primary. Van de Putte served as a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1990 to 1999 and has been a member of the Senate since 1999. She joins fellow state Sen. Wendy R. Davis, candidate for governor, on the Democratic ticket. Davis will face Republican candidate for governor Greg Abbott, current Texas attorney general, in November. In the Republican runoff for attor-ney general, the choices were lawyer-legislators Dan Branch of Dallas, a state representative, and Ken Paxton of McKinney, a state senator. For agriculture commissioner, Re-publicans chose between former state representatives Sid Miller of Stephen-ville and Tommy Merritt of Longview. And, in the race for railroad com-missioner, GOP voters chose between former State Rep. Wayne Christian of Center and Ryan Sitton, a Pasadena oil, gas and petrochemical industry consultant. Democratic voters chose between runoff opponents Dr. David M. Alameel of Dallas and Kesha Rog-ers of Houston, who are vying to face incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn on the November ballot. And, for agricul-ture commissioner, Democrats chose between author-musician-humorist Richard S. “Kinky” Friedman of Medina and farmer-rancher-insurance agent Jim Hogan of Cleburne.

Texas Tech picks Duncan Texas Tech Board of Regents on May 19 announced state Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, as the sole fi nal-ist for chancellor of the Texas Tech University System. He is expected to resign from the Texas Senate and start in his new capacity on July 1. As chancellor, Duncan will serve as chief executive offi cer and will report to the system’s board of regents. Cur-rent Chancellor Kent Hance reportedly will become chancellor emeritus at that time. Duncan, 60, was born in Lubbock, grew up in Vernon, and earned his bachelor’s degree and law degree from Texas Tech. He was elected to the House in 1992 and in 1996 won a special election to the Senate.

Perry writes to president Gov. Rick Perry, who ran for presi-dent in 2012 and may run for president again in 2016, on May 19 posted an 873-word letter he signed and sent to President Obama about energy and the economy. “You reassured the American people of your commitment to an all-of-the-above energy strategy to bring our nation closer to energy independence while creating needed jobs,” Perry wrote, and then suggested that the president take a “Texas approach” to create jobs and stimulate the nation’s economy by switching to a less-regulated strategy. That strategy would include such actions as stepping up coal-burning power plant capacities, opening the Keystone XL pipeline and increasing oil and gas operations on land and offshore.

Notes byRegina

By ReginaCrutcher

An area of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri is unoffi cially known as Tornado Alley. They

should’ve added Texas as far as I’m concerned but I’m okay if I never meet another twister. One of nature’s most suddenly appearing and destructive forces is the tornado. They usu-ally make national news because of the damage and misery they bring to com-munities. Somehow, I’ve “wran-gled” an invitation to four of ‘em, and that’s defi nite-ly enough. The fi rst was 1953 in Waco, 50 miles from my hometown of Teague. It was spring and time for the annual ju-nior-senior prom. Even though I was a sophomore, I was dating a girl a class ahead of me and she invited me to the prom. So, there I was shopping for my fi rst tuxedo. It was a rental, of course. Why else would a small town boy need a tux. It’s not like we had debutante balls to go to as well as the prom. Thank God for little favors. That introductory twister struck in downtown Waco, a mere two blocks from where I was picking up the tux. There was no harm to me, my accompanying classmates or to our vehicle. There were deaths and extreme dam-age from the storm. Somehow, we were spared. Three years later, I got a triple dose in two days in Huntsville. I would’ve

yelled “uncle” if I’d been told they were coming, loudly and fervently enough that the actual storms would have been unnecessary.

Actually, I only saw one of the tornado triumvirate, but I felt one and some of its effects and I was told of the third one. I was attending then-Sam Houston State Teach-ers College in Huntsville in the spring of 1956, when the triple strike oc-curred. As a full-time student, I still found it necessary to hold what amounted to a fulltime job, that of sports publicity director for the college’s teams, to pay my way through school.

Early that spring, Sam Houston was playing Southwestern Louisiana at home. As usual, I was in the press box-announcer booth, high behind home plate and, of course, the high hurricane fence and netting. My dual job was to do the public address announcing, to keep statistics and to report the game to three Houston newspapers and the student newspa-per. The previous day, the Bearkats had beaten SLI and this Saturday game was to be the fi rst game of a double-header. It had rained a bit that morning and the second game of the slated three-game series was to start a 1 p.m. with the second immediately after com-pletion of the fi rst. It was very cloudy and the fi rst game was delayed very

briefl y a couple of times by a sprin-kling rain. The two college coaches and the umpires were huddled in the infi eld trying to decide whether to play the game. I looked directly out past center fi eld and noticed the “end” of the black cloud formation beginning to develop what looked like a tail. All of a sudden, that tail got bigger and began to drop, so I fl ipped on the microphone and announced: “Look out across center fi eld. I believe the decision is made for you.” There was a lot of scrambling and, even though I had to dismantle the public address system and carry it with me, I managed to beat everyone to the cars. I hightailed it to the house where I had a room, fi guring the tornado would pass to the west of us. Wrong. It came through a part of Huntsville and the peripheral winds knocked a tree over onto the eaves just outside my window as I lay in bed. It crunched the gutter and made a sizable dent in the roof and I leaped out of bed, ready to get under it and the roaring stopped. I was told that second one passed a mile east of the house causing more damage and wreaking havoc. A third one hit the other side of the city on Sunday. Thankfully, I just got a verbal de-scription of that one and its damage. That was enough, thank you very much.

Four tornados are enough introduction for me

From theWriters’Roost

By Willis Webb

Memorial Day weekend was a good one - giving us the chance to celebrate

the dedication of our soldiers who sacrifi ced for this nation. It also gave me the chance to fi nd brisket on sale and it brought our area the rain we so desperately needed. Now what? Well, we cook the brisket in preparation for graduation company and use the rain to establish crops. The Dawson - Lynn Counties area received from 1.25 to over 5 inches of rain. The conditions and the way these rains fell were as ideal as one could hope for – slow and steady with continuous cloud cover al-though there were times of hard downpours. Light rains of 0.5 to 1 inch will wet medium to fi ne textured soil several inches, allowing emergence, but then rapidly dry from the wind and sun, leaving the plant without moisture. A course sand will wet to 12 inches following a soaking rain and thus less of the moisture will be lost due to surface evaporation.

Planting depth Prior to the rains we were plant-ing cotton intodry soils with two chains of thought on seed depth placement, 1) plant “normal” or 2) “dust in.” Seeding depth is always critical to success and ideal planting depth for our area is said to be between 1.25 to 1.75

inches. The fi elds that were planted “normal” – 1.5 inches – should have enough moisture around the seed

to germinate the seed. The seed must remain in moist soil until the root tip (radicle) has pushed out. This will occur after two days in warm soil and four days in cool soil. As of May 26 our soil temperature was 66 degrees in Lamesa and 64 degrees in O’Donnell at 10 am with a 10-day average of 72 degrees in Lamesa and 71 degrees in O’Donnell. Once the root tip

pushes out it grows rapidly, gener-ally faster than the soil can dry. With the “normal” planted seed we can possibly experience two major problems. First is the physical inability of seed to push a heavy weighted soil. The pushing power of the shank comes from water pressure inside the cells. This pressure also causes the shank to swell (big shank) if it can not push and elongate. Once the shank reaches a diameter of 3/16 inch it is pushing all it can. So, with the “normal” planted seed, it is important to bust any crust that has formed and loosen the soil to allow the shank to elongate and emerge. The pushing power of shanks is also reduced in salty soils. The second possible problem is prolonged exposure to disease. The same energy reserves that are used

to push are also used for disease control. The more stored energy used to emerge means the less for combating disease infection. Seedtreatment fungicides suppress disease in and around the seed, al-lowing more energy for emergence. However, the addition of seed treat-ments does not allow for planting to even deeper depths or using lowerquality seed. With seed that was “dusted in,” – planted about that 0.5 inch deep +_ we got the rains that this strategy depends on. The concerns with this strategy is washing seed out withany heavy rains and drying out on top where the seed is placed but there are additional inches of moist soil under the seed for the root to draw moisture and grow. The seed does not use as much of its energy to emerge and therefore has more energy to combat disease, and en-ergy arrived from the photosynthesis process starts sooner due to quicker emergence.We will wait and see which ap-proach worked – as long as we don’t dry out I think they both will be fi ne and we will have cotton. Those fi elds that were not yet planted, will now be able to be planted into moist soil like we al-ways desire. Establishing a healthy stand of cotton is the fi rst step to-ward a successful season therefore, use high quality seed.

By Herrel HallmarkLamesa Press-Reporter Two agenda items that dealt with the TxDOT (Texas Depart-ment of Transportation) Trans-portation Infrastructure Fund (TIF) grant, which has been approved for Dawson County, were addressed by the Dawson County Commissioners Court on Tuesday afgternoon. The commissioners court approved an updated Priority Project List (PPL) of roads to be addressed by funds from the TIF grant. Gary Smith, client relations representative with Grant-Works – the state’s largest grants project administrator – that is working with Daw-son County in the preliminary pursuit of grant funds from the state, said the original PPL had been pared down to make sure

it was within the amount of money approved for the grant. TxDOT has agreed to award Dawson County a grant of al-most $1.25 million for the repair of roads that are affected by the increased amount of oil and gas production in the area. T h e county’s required match for that grant is $124,058, so that leaves $1,116,516 in actual funds to be received from the state. In other action related to ther TIF grant, the commission-ers court approved the Road Design Criteria and Specifi ca-tions for the TIF grant program as recommended by Smith. Smith also pointed out that the PPL can be adjusted, if needed, by the commissioners court in the future.

Other business A number of other agenda

items were addressed by the commissioners court at Tues-day’s meeting. Those included: authorizing Dawson County Auditor Rick Dollahan to set up a revenue/expense budget for the Clean Up Lamesa 115 fund. County Judge Foy O’Brien and Dollahan said that fund previously was listed in the county budget as a line item for revenue from the county attorney’s offi ce, but had been deleted from the budget several years ago because there no lon-ger was any money in that fund. Currently, Dollahan said, the fund contains $40 from recent pre-trial diversions arranged by County Attorney Steve Payson. Dollahan said the use of those funds is at the discretion of the county judge based upon recommendations made by the county attorney.

authorizing the county judge to send a letter and a highlighted copy of the coun-ty’s purchasing policy to Dis-trict Attorney Michael Munk. Dollahan said the county purchasing policy was adopted by the commissioners court in 2012 and helps to ensure that all government codes are complied with whenever county funds are used for accounts payable. The district attorney has requested that the billing ad-dress for his offi ce’s telephone service be changed from the county auditor’s offi ce to the district attorney’s offi ce “to avoid confusion with the coun-ty’s account,” Dollahan said. “The DA’s telephone service is a county account and county funds pay for that service,” Dollahan pointed out, stating that the billing address needs to remain as specifi ed in the county purchasing policy. County Commissioner Nicky Goode stated, “This (county purchasing) policy

already is in place and every-body needs to follow it.” authorizing the county judge to solicit proposals for yearly pest control and lawn treatment for county buildings. Commissioners agreed to add the Lee Roy Colgan Building (previously the Dawson County Community Building and more widely known as the Women’s Building) and the Dawson County Fair Barn to the list of buildings for pest control. Routine business A routine report from Doug Isaacs, county road supervisor, about road repairs and mainte-nance was presented at Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting. Isaacs said county crews will be working to repair roads, fol-lowing this past weekend’s rains that measured anywhere from 1.5 to six inches in the county. “We had plenty of good rain and we’ll be working the roads as quickly as we can get to them ... all 924 miles of roads

in the county,” Isaacs said. He also asked the commis-sioners court to extend an ex-isting contract with Bob Miller for the purchase of caliche by the county for use on roads. He also said some other contracts need to be reviewed for pos-sible extension, as well. The commissioners court ap-proved the contract extension for caliche as recommended by Isaacs and Dollahan. Routine administrative items approved by the commission-ers court on Tuesday included: the county payroll; budget amendments and fund trans-fers; accounts payable; county auditor’s report; and county treasurer’s fi nancial and/or in-vestment reports. Minutes of the May 13 regu-lar meeting of the commission-ers court were approved as pre-sented. No items were brought up during a discussion-only agen-da item at the end of Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting.

The Russian writer and dissident AleksandrSolzhenitsyn very astutely remarked that “theline dividing good and evil cuts through the

heart of every human being.” All of us have thecapacity for both good and evil within us and

every day is a struggle to help the “betterangels” prevail. Perhaps what separates the

saints from the sinners is not so much that somesin and others don’t, but that the saints

recognize their sinful nature and are better at

resisting their sinful impulses. The essentialwork of our lives is to know that this line is

there and to stay on the side of the good,resisting the never-ending lure and temptation

of evil. We should pray for the wisdom anddiscernment to recognize where the line

separating good from evil runs, and for thegoodwill and fortitude to stay on the side

of the good.- Christopher Simon

Thank You Thank You

By Russel SkilesLamesa Press-Reporter Some 50 people got an early look at Lamesa High School’s new administrative offi ces on Tuesday evening during a rib-bon-cutting ceremony marking the pending completion of the fi rst phase of a major renova-tion of the campus. And while the group includ-ed school administrators and board members, city offi cials, Chamber of Commerce repre-sentatives and others, it was a group of students who were at the forefront to cut the ribbon. “I thought it was appropri-ate that the kids open up this facility because that’s what it’s all about,” said Superintendent John Ramos. Student Council President Malachi Salazar was joined by several other council members as he used oversize scissors to cut the red ribbon inside the school’s new administra-tive addition at the front of the building. Representatives from the construction and architectural fi rms involved with the project also were on hand. Construction on Phase 1 of the three-phase renovation project is not expected to be completed until sometime in June, just as Phase 2 is getting underway. But administrators will start moving into the new offi ces this week, clearing the way for the current offi ces to be torn apart and renovated into

classrooms during the coming month. Ramos told those gathered on Tuesday that the fi nal cost for Phase 1 is expected to come in about a quarter-million dol-lars below the estimated $6.7 million for that part of the proj-ect. The fi rst phase has included not only the new addition but renovation of most of the east-west hallway and adjoining classrooms, along with new plumbing and electrical ser-vice and construction of an el-evator to provide handicapped access to the second fl oor. Ramos said it has been a cooperative effort to keep the project within budget while getting the maximum impact for the expenditure. “When you’re dealing with millions of dollars you want to be good stewards of your re-sources, because it is the com-munity’s resources,” Ramos said. That effort has included modernizing the facility, Ra-mos said, while also preserv-ing certain things “near and dear” to the school and the community, such as a Golden Tornado emblem just outside the building. Ramos said he is particularly proud of the new security sys-tem that is being installed as part of the renovation project, noting it is one of the best in West Texas. “When parents send their students here, we don’t take

that lightly,” he said. Focusing on a collaborative effort to make the construction project and the overall school system a success, Ramos said he hopes the spacious new ad-ministrative wing will enhance that effort. “I hope you look at the new administrative offi ces as a col-laborative area,” he said, not-ing it should be a place where parents, community members and others come to visit and help ensure a good education for local students. Lamesa Mayor Dave Nix, a former member of the school board, said the success of a community and its school go hand-in-hand. “We all know you’ve got to have a strong school if you’re going to have a strong commu-nity,” Nix told the group gath-ered for the event. Nix said the LHS renovation is the fi nal step in a process that has seen all four Lamesa campuses renovated over the past 10-15 years. “Our facilities now rival any in West Texas, in my opinion,” Nix said. Chamber of Commerce President Sandra Adams said she is proud that the school and Chamber are working closely together for the entire commu-nity. “Together we’re just stron-ger,” she noted. “We wish nothing but the best for the Lamesa ISD.” The renovation work refl ects

a need for the school to keep up with the changes in edu-cation and the world, Adams said. “It’s changing, and I’m glad it’s changing,” she said. “We’ve got to change with the times.”

First phase of LHS renovationStudents cut ribbon to mark offi cial opening of campus facility

Malachi Salazar, president of the Lamesa High School student council, was joined on the front row by other stu-dent council members as he used large scissors from the Lamesa Area Chamber of Commerce to ceremonially cut

the ribbon marking near-completion of Phase 1 of the high school renovation project. School board members, administrators and others were on hand for the event on Tuesday evening.

CUTTING THE RIBBON Russel Skiles/Press-Reporter

Dawson County’s leader in news and advertising

The Dawson Independent School District board of di-rectors again discussed the superintendent’s contract in a closed, executive session last Thursday night, May 22, but took no action in regard to that closed session. During their April meeting, board members voted by ma-

jority not to extend Superinten-dent Josh Carty’s current con-tract past the 2014-2015 school year. Carty’s current contract re-mains in effect through June 30, 2015 and Carty plans to continue as the Dawson ISD superintendent for the next school year.

Board members took care of some normal business at last Monday’s meeting by unanimously approving con-tracts and agreements with the Education Service Center in-terlocal entities, the Dawson County Services and for TASB (Texas Association of School Boards) insurance coverage.

DISD board discusses, takes no action on extending superintendent’s contract

ATHLETIC COUGARSSeniors Wyatt Tidwell and Taylor Howard were named the All-Around Most Athletic boy and girl during the Klondike High School sports banquet held last week. Both achieved success in three sports this past year, with Tidwell earning honors in football, basketball and track while Howard re-ceived recognition in cross country, basketball and track.

Coyotes, Eagles earnall-district baseball Nine Borden County slug-gers and four from O’Donnell have been recognized among the cream of the crop on the all-District 3-1A Baseball Team. After fi nishing up the 2014 regular high school baseball season with a three-game 3A win streak, BC put up three on the fi rst team, four on the sec-ond team and two more as hon-orable mention. Representing the Coyotes on that fi rst-team list are junior shortstop Mason Coor, senior outfi elder Kurt Shafer and junior Hurrikane Richter as a utility infi elder. BC’s second-team all-district honorees are freshmen Kace Lott and Hunter Jones, sopho-more Korbin Martinez and se-nior Tristen Benavidez. A couple of Coyotes getting honorable mention are fresh-men Jayton Lewis and Kale Yarbro. O’Donnell sophomore in-fi elder A.J. Rivas is the Eagles’ lone fi rst-team honoree, while representing the Eagles on that second-team list are juniors Mi-chael Rivas and Sterlyn Wilkie and sophomore E.J. Morales. Mason Coor fi nished the sea-son hitting .418, including six doubles. Coor scored 23 runs in his lead-off spot at Gail. “Mason only struck out fi ve times all year,” BC Coach Bubba Edwards said. “He did a good job getting on base. He also had 12 stolen bases so he did a good job once he got on, too. “Defensively, he made great plays at shortstop all year.” Richter hit .346 on the year, while driving in 10 RBIs. Versatility was one of Rich-ter’s trademarks. “Hurrikane played third base, shortstop, second base and even pitched this year for us,” Edwards said. “He had 45 strikeouts as a pitcher. Hurri-kane did a great job of helping out wherever we needed him that day.” Kurt Shafer will be missed following a big senior season at Gail that saw him hit .415 while scoring 21 runs. “Kurt did a great job mak-ing the change from our infi eld to the outfi eld. He made some great plays for us again this year,” Edwards said of Shafer. “He took good care of the right side of our outfi eld. He had some big hits and big RBIs. He’s a great two-strike hitter.” A.J. Rivas capped off an out-standing year in the Eagles’ athletic program at O’Donnell by making 3A all-district base-ball’s fi rst team. Rivas hit .520 on the year, including four triples. He also scored 21 runs in addition to his 26 hits in 2014. “He’s defi nitely got the ath-letic ability and all the tools,” OHS Coach Blandon Hancock said. “He’s got good strength, a good glove, good feet and good arm. One of his biggest prob-lems is that sometimes he’s still too hard on himself. “A.J’s by far the best athlete we’ve got in our program. He ended up earning fi rst-team all-district in three sports and was a regional qualifi er in track.” After fi nishing his senior year on the diamond for the Coyotes with a .323 on-base percentage and scoring 16 runs, BC’s Tris-ten Benavidez defi nitely will be missed at Gail.

But, with young talent like sophomore outfi elder Korbin Martinez and freshmen Hunter Jones and Kace Lott, the Coy-otes very well should be a team to watch again next year. Martinez should lead the Coyotes’ outfi eld from his cen-ter fi eld slot. “He not only reads the ball well but also made some nice diving catches out there,” Ed-wards said of Martinez. Lott fi nished his freshman year with the Coyotes with a .295 batting average, including three doubles and 11 RBIs. “We’re talking about a posi-tion where we didn’t have any-body returning this season. One day, Kace basically volunteered to do it and ended up doing a super job back there,” Edwards said of catcher. “He did a good job patrolling our backstop area. He’s one of those kids who loves this game. He wants to be the best at it. He plays it with a lot of intensity and works hard at it.” Hunter Jones hit .327, while scoring 23 runs his fi rst year of high school baseball. “Hunter’s another one of those multi-position players. He played third, shortstop, pitched and even caught this year,” Edwards said of Jones. “But, he really did a good job of holding down that corner (third base). He’s another good, all-around athlete.”

A.J.’s older brother, junior Michael Rivas, should be a top notch returnee on the mound come next season at O’Donnell. He fi nished his junior year with a 4.75 ERA and 42 strikeouts. “Michael’s best game came against Ira where he complete-ly shut those guys down. He just ended up running out of gas,” Hancock said of Michael Rivas. “He also hit in our four hole. He did lots of good things.” Michael hit .410, while driv-ing in 15 RBIs. As a sophomore, E.J. Mo-rales hit .381 while driving in 11 RBIs and scoring 13 runs. “He’s the kid who probably made the biggest strides from last year to this season. We’re talking a complete 360 from last year to this one,” Hancock said of Morales. “He worked a ton in the off-season. He does a good job of blocking balls. He also calls a smart game. He knows how to set hitters up out there.” Wilkie hit .262 in the Eagles’ fourth spot in their batting or-der. “He’s a competitor. He’s a good kid who just always tries hard at whatever he’s doing,” Hancock said of Wilkie. With a majority of their play-ers coming back in 2015, Ed-wards and Hancock cannot help but be excited about their program’s futures.

Aldridge’s, Stewart’s teams lead scramble Ronny Aldridge’s team and Brant Stewart’s team took top honors here on Tuesday eve-ning in the weekly golf scram-ble held at the Lamesa Munici-pal Golf Course. Aldridge’s team, which shot a 28 to win the front nine, in-cluded Darrell Froman, Mark Aldridge and Ted Smith. Henry Villalobos’s team shot a 29, good for second place in that front nine. Others on that team were Jonathan Contreras, Alex Contreras and Wesley Borrella. John Weatherman’s team also shot a 29, but came in third on that front nine after the playoff. Others on that team were Pete Ogeda, Eddie Jones and Raymond Witte. Brant Stewart’s team won the back nine after shooting a 29. Others on that team were Rocky Fry, Clint Scott and Richard Montz. Johnny Sauseda’s team shot

a 32, good for second place in that back nine. Others on that team were Adriana Sauseda, Buddy Gass and Billy Chap-man. Brent Sevedge’s team shot a 32, good for third place in that back nine. Others on that team were Kelton Coleman, Rayce Douglas and Brady Hatchett. Johnny Sauseda won this week’s closest to the pin con-test on hole number two, while Myles James won that contest on hole number seven.

The Lamesa Municipal Golf Course hosts its weekly golf scrambles every Tuesday eve-ning at that local golf course. Play tees off at 5:45 p.m. with golfers urged to sign up by 3 p.m. each Tuesday. Registra-tion fee is $15 per player. For more information, call the the Lamesa Municipal Golf Course pro shop at 872-8100 or 201-2544.

It has been over 20 years since one of their family mem-bers last fi nished a race here for the Golden Tornadoes, but the name Sumpter still remains as one of the tops ever to run for Lamesa High School. Back in 1992, Frank Sumpter Jr. helped bring in cross coun-try here at Lamesa High School in style. Sumpter, Lamesa High School’s fi rst-ever cross coun-try runner, was crowned as District 2-4A’s top runner – the fi rst stop on his path to the state cross country championships held back then at Southwestern University at Georgetown. Frank fi nished that break-out senior year by coming in as the fourth best boy runner in Class 4A that year with a time of 16:26 at state. Nearly 10 years later, Frank Jr.’s younger brother, Casey Sumpter, won back-to-back Class 3A state cross country championships that since then had moved to Old Settlers’ Park at Round Rock. Casey’s

winning times in those 3A boys state races were 16:19.5 in 2001 and then 16:21.35 in 2002. The Sumpters, the sons of Lamesa’s Frank and Ida Sumpt-er, also left their mark in the Golden Tors’ athletic program on the track, as well. By running a 4:28.85 back in his senior year here at LHS in 1993, Frank Jr. still holds the Golden Tors’ school record in the 1,600-meter run. Casey, on the other hand, owns the Lamesa High School record in the 3,200 by running a time of 9:38.27 back in his se-nior year here in 2003. Now some 21 years after graduating from high school here, Frank Jr.’s son, Brody Sumpter, is enjoying quite a running career of his own. After running his fi nal high school race for Levelland High School as the fi rst leg on the Lobos’ 1,600-meter relay at regionals, Brody is getting the chance now to continue his run-ning days onto the collegiate

level. Earlier this month, Brody signed a national letter of in-tent to run for Pratt Community College at Kansas. “He’s been running for Lev-elland since he was in the sev-enth grade,” Levelland Coach Nelda Munoz said in an in-terview with the Levelland & Hockley County News-Press in a story that ran earlier this month. “He’s ran cross country for me and has also done track. He’s been a distance runner since he started: the mile, two mile and 800 person. He’s got some speed with him, too; that’s a fi ne attribute to have along with being able to run for a long time. “He’s done a really good job and we’re really proud of him for continuing his educa-tion and running career and we hope that he does great things and represents Levelland well.” Sumpter also had an offer from Clarendon College but decided to go with Pratt. “I didn’t like the feel. I met the coach and he seemed like he knew what he was doing, but then I met Pratt. And, they have all this background with running and I just liked the feel. I liked the way the coach was putting his team together and the way we were going to go into things. That’s what stood out with me,” Brody said in that interview that was published in the Levelland & Hockley County News-Press. While Frank Jr. now lives in Levelland, his younger brother, Casey, lives in the Dallas area where he and his wife are an-ticipating the birth of their fi rst child next month.

Couple feeling financial strain receives many helpful ideasBy Abigail Van Buren©2014 Universal Uclick DEAR ABBY: “Holding on in Arkansas” (Feb. 27) asked where to go for free counsel-ing. You suggested she call her local mental health department for counseling options for her marriage and money issues. Another resource would be her local church. Pastors often offer counsel-ing to couples. Many churches also have support groups for parents to connect with each other. I have seen churches save marriages and get couples back on the right track emotionally and fi nancially. – PASSING IT ON IN TENNESSEE DEAR PASSING IT ON: Your suggestion was men-tioned by a number of other readers. They, too, felt that solving her fi nancial prob-lems would lessen or elimi-nate the marital discord “Holding” and her husband are experiencing. Read on: DEAR ABBY: One of the largest contributors to our national charitable network – United Way – offers many helpful services. The Consum-er Credit Counseling Service may also be a resource, if credit cards are part of the problem. If there is a choice between paying a bill or buying grocer-ies, the bill should come fi rst. There are many food pantries. The family can also apply for food stamps. Asking for help can be diffi -cult or embarrassing, but know-ing your kids won’t be hungry makes it worth it. – BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, TOO DEAR ABBY: “Holding” should contact her bank about refi nancing her mortgage. If she can’t pay her electric bill, she should see if she qualifi es for a reduced rate for her in-come level. As for the kids, if they’re in school, they prob-ably meet the criteria for the reduced-cost lunch program. – FULL OF IDEAS IN WASH-INGTON DEAR ABBY: “Holding” should seek help from the school counselor. He/she can recommend mental health sup-port within the family’s fi nan-cial means, and connect them with additional community resources to lessen some of the stresses of daily life. With many families struggling in many ways, encouraging this woman to seek out available help is crucial. – SCHOOL COUNSELOR-IN-TRAIN-ING DEAR ABBY: If the wom-an’s county doesn’t have a mental health department, her region should have a depart-ment of public health. Or she could be guided by the school nurse at her children’s school. School nurses are often the fi rst responders to families in cri-sis or in need of counseling. – NEW ENGLAND NURSE
