Injured Swans Headed For Happy Ending
Liz Jaben, of Omaha, and Dave Hoffman, of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Trumpeteer Swan Restoration Program, delivering the swans, H99 and his cygnet, to the Orphaned and Injured Wildlife in Spirit Lake, Iowa. By Alice Gilroy The two Trumpeteer Swans who survived wounds from a December 13 shooting near Lockney are doing well at their new home in Spirit Lake, Iowa. Linda Henshaw, the president of the Orphaned and Injured Wildlife Institute in Spirit Lake reported to the newspaper that the swans are doing even better than expected. "The fractures in the wings have healed and it looks like they'll fly again," said Henshaw. "The adult male was limping when he came. It was believed the limping came from a pellet in his knee joint. The limp was getting worse and we decided to do surgery. Instead of a pellet they found a large bone chip. The surgery was successful and he is walking perfectly now. The swans will soon be ready to move into a larger fenced area." Henshaw says the adult male will probably be released soon, and there appears to be a happy ending to the swans story. "The swans nesting site has been found in Sleepy Eyed, Minnesota," said Henshaw. "We are hoping to release the adult male soon at the site. Hopefully the female will return to the site and be surprised to find her mate." The nesting site is approximately 80 miles north of Grover Lake, Iowa. The adult male, and an adult female, had been released in 2000 after being hatched and raised at the Iowa Trumpeteer Swan Restoration Project, a captive breeding program. The adult pair and their 4 cygnets eventually found their way to Lockney where they were shot in a pond near the Lockney water treatment plant, December 13. Two immature birds were killed at the scene. One immature bird was injured but managed to fly away. The adult female trumpeteer was never found. An injured male and two injured immature birds were taken to the South Plains Rehabilitation Treatment Center in Lubbock. One of the cygnets had to be destroyed because of the extent of his injuries. The two remaining birds, the adult male, and one cygnet, were returned to Iowa for long term care and housing. Four individuals confessed to the crime, December 22, and were charged with 5 counts each of Hunting a State and Federally protected non-game migratory waterfowl. They were fined $500 per person, per bird, plus restitution and court costs--for a total of $17,000. "We were all very grateful for the work Texans did to take care of these birds and find the people responsible," said Henshaw. "They (the swans) are very special and we appreciated the work that went into taking care of them. We were also excited that the people responsible were caught. It is pretty rare in these type of cases for the lawbreakers to actually get caught." The Trumpeteer swans mate for life, and the cygnets will not leave until they have found their own mate. Henshaw said if the female does not return to the nesting site in Sleepy Eyed the male will probably stay in the area until he finds another mate. "It may take a couple of years, but we are hopeful he will mate again." Complaints Brought to City By Darwin Robinson During the Public Hearing of the Floydada City Council meeting Monday, January 19, several citizens appeared in the council chambers to complain about the actions of some of the Floydada policemen. John Herrera was the spokesman for the group of citizens. Herrera asked the council, "What is the City's policy about City police officers driving at excessive speeds throughout the residential areas? "Awhile back a young male was crossing the street and barely made it across before a police officer zoomed down the street. I understand there may be an emergency, but what is their (police officer's) speed limit when they have an emergency inside the City limits and residential area?," Herrera asked. Floydada Police Chief Darrell Gooch, who was present at the meeting for another matter, answered, "Our policy is 10 mph above the posted speed limit. That is general across the state. 99 percent of the time we do not use our red and blues (flashing lights) because that usually brings the kids into the streets to where the cops are going. Or it gets a long tail along behind you with people wanting to see what's going on." Gooch continued, "The only exception to that is the extreme emergency case where an officer needs assistance, or something like that. Then we back off the 10 mph above the posted speed limit to a 15 mph above the posted limit." "In a residential area they are supposed to use extreme caution, but if there is a domestic, or fight, or something like that going on, I am sure the posted speed limit is exceeded somewhat. In a residential area an officer can do 40 mph and be within the policy. To be honest, I have never clocked an officer doing 40 mph in a residential zone. My radar stays on and I check my officers like anyone else," Gooch added. Gooch confessed that his officers do get up to 45 mph on Houston Street responding to accident and emergency calls. Councilman Cornelius said, "I have seen them go by on the highway and it looked like they were going faster than 45 mph. I have a problem with working on the highway and I think I have seen some of the City policemen speeding. I can't believe that there is nothing to be gained by going from the north side of town to the south side of town and save five seconds by going 55 mph rather than 45 mph. I haven't seen that in a residential area though." Herrera responded, "We have seen it and we have been getting several people complaining about it. We car pool and we go all over town picking up the guys for work at around 4 a.m. They are zooming by us, maybe thinking we are gang bangers, or what. We are just going to work and we do it every day. There have been instances where we have almost run into them. They are going fast and not stopping at stop signs." "We work at Plainview and City patrol cars will go by us at the highway department and go all the way to Muncy. It seems they are trying to see how fast they can go. They have done that on several occasions and there were no accidents up there," explained Herrera. Herrera continued, "They also sometimes have female riders with them. Do you have a rider program, or what?" Gooch responded, "They are usually spouses. That is all that we allow. We have allowed this for the last 20 years that I have been here. I can stop it, if that is what you want. There are stipulations to that. We can go get them to go get a coke and then take them back home. I allow the guys to ride with their spouses for 30 or 45 minutes on their shifts and then they have to take them home." Councilmember Ruben Barrientoz asked, "What is the reason for that? Gooch added, "Instead of going home and changing clothes and vehicles just to go eat lunch, we just go home and pick them up and go out to eat." Herrera brought up tailgating by the City officers on certain vehicles. Gooch explained tailgating is necessary to read license plates. Gooch said, "Just stay calm and the officer will more than likely go on around you." Herrera also complained that City police cars had been seen "drag racing on the highway". Gooch explained, "When we are called to help somewhere else, such as Lockney, we head out at high speed toward Lockney. The call may be cancelled about Muncy, so both patrol cars turn around at Muncy and head back to Floydada. That might look like racing. I have done that several times." Councilmember Clar Schacht said to Herrera, "We need you to call the City Hall the day these things happen-not three or four weeks later. We can check them out and see who was on shift at that hour." Herrera thanked the council for their time. Lockney Community Leader Dies

Dear Editor, I always read the Lamplighter and find it interesting. In the January 8, 2004 column, Ken called the Jews and Muslims the spiritual descendants of Abraham. According to my studies of the New testament, they are the physical descendants of Abraham. All Christians, whether ethnic Jews, Muslims or "all nations" are the spiritual descendants of Abraham. Maybe the question should be asked, "Did God choose Abraham because of his faith or because of his race?" Respectfully, Sterling K. Cummings
By The Way | by Alice Gilroy I know some of you may be tired of swan stories, but I had to run one more update. The people who are taking care of the swans called the paper and they were so excited about the progress of the Trumpeteer Swans that they wanted to share it with everyone. Plus--it was a slow week and I needed the picture and story! Lockney's Junior Class Prom Committee is putting out a call for old carpet that will be used in decorations. If you've got some old carpet you want to throw away, please call Carol Kelley. She will even send some strong boys to pick it up. The committee also needs the name of a supplier that would handle large decorative feathers. Anybody have a suggestion?
A View From The Lamplighter | by Ken Towery Whatever happened to Phil Gramm? He's no longer in the news, which some will find comforting, others distressing. Personally, we liked Phil Gramm. In terms of intestinal fortitude, he was somewhat unique. He stood his ground in a political sense. His obstinance, or his political principle, depending on one's interpretation, caused him to get stripped of his committee assignments while a Democratic member of the House of Representatives representing the Congressional District centered around College Station. Rather than accept his humiliation in the manner of a whipped dog, he resigned his seat, announced he was going to run again as a Republican, and despite all the Democrats could throw at him, won. He then went on to the Senate, following in the footsteps of Senator John Tower. And he stayed until deciding to quit. Everybody has their own notion of why Gramm left the Senate. There's the official version, the Gramm version, and then there are others. Quite frankly we don't think the official version, that he had just gotten burned out and it was time to move on, holds much water. Theoretically, Gramm would now have been at the peak of his power, with a President of his own party, committee chairmanships waiting for him to choose. It is unnatural for a politician to bow out when things are coming up roses, and Gramm was a politician in the truest and best sense of the word. Something else had to be the determining factor. There are those who think, or say, the deciding factor was Wendy Gramm's (Phil's wife) position as a member of the Audit Committee on the Enron Corporation's Board of Directors. We seriously doubt it. Not discounting for a moment the political implications of any aftermath in that kind of situation, we think the answer for the Senator's departure lies elsewhere. Phil Gramm was a conservative when it came to budgetary matters. That's what got him in trouble with Democrats in the first place. That's what caused him to switch parties. That's what led him to co-author the Gramm-Rudman budgetary bill. That's what caused him to continually rail against deficit spending. He thought, strangely enough, that by opposing wasteful government spending he was being a "compassionate conservative." After all, that wasted money had to come from somewhere, from somebody who was working and paying taxes. But Phil Gramm was also politically wise enough to know that the new President Bush's promises could not be kept without engaging in massive amounts of deficit spending. He knew too that many of the new President's positions (i.e. immigration, education, et al,) ran counter to traditional conservative positions that Gramm had always championed. Had Gramm stayed in the Senate, and had he become Chairman of Some Important Committee, he would have been expected to toe the new line. It is highly doubtful that Gramm would have performed this chore in a satisfactory manner. To have the senior senator from Texas at odds with a President from his own party, and his own state, would have caused problems throughout this state's political ranks. (It must be remembered, these decisions had to be made before New York's twin towers were brought down.) So Gramm left the Senate, and, last we heard, had signed on with some big international financial outfit, probably making much more money than he ever made as a U.S. Senator, well paid as those guys are now. No doubt, he hit the ground running. He knows the subject, and because he knows the subject, he also knows the problems. We always thought of Gramm as being much more of a nationalist, rather than an internationalist, in terms of financial orientation, but international financiers hold much more sway in terms of national politics. In a very real sense, we doubt Gramm's influence will wane all that much simply because of his change in jobs. Still, we miss his presence in the Senate. John Cornyn is no Phil Gramm.
