FUTURE SITE OF VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK With the help of area veterans Lockney will soon have a Memorial Park to honor all veterans who have served in any capacity in either war time or peace time. The Park will be located in the already cleared lot on the east side of the Lockney Fire Department. Trees have already been planted and wait for memorials for be erected. A newly organized veteran's association has undertaken the project and members are very excited about the future of the Park and the prospects of how the Park will look. "The purpose of the Park is to remember those who have served, who are serving now, or who will be serving in the future," said Ed Marks, president of the Texas Plains Veterans Association. "Some veterans think if they didn't go to war then they aren't a veteran. We believe you did your duty and we welcome you." Marks, a Vietnam Veteran, has strong feelings of veterans being recognized for their service. "When we came back from Vietnam we were just kicked off the plane into demonstrators waiting for us outside the base. It was not much of a welcome home." Marks says veterans will build the Park and maintain it. "We already have help promised from Dyess Air Force Base. It will be something to see with the old veterans working alongside the young ones." The Texas Plains Veterans Association, which is open to any veteran (not just those living in Lockney) plans on erecting a flag for every branch of the service and a P.O.W. flag. "The flags will be put in a semi-circle," said Marks. "In the center of the circle we will have a rifle with a helmet on top, combat boots, and dog tags. They will be encased in glass to prevent vandalism." "The rifle with the helmet have been symbols of fallen soldiers since WWI," said Bill Hunter, a Vietnam Veteran and the Associations communications officer. "The rifle was stuck in the ground with the dog tags so the soldier could be located and identified at a later time. The boots were left so if another soldier came along and needed a pair then he could trade out boots." Marks said there will be a fence around the Park with a concrete patio and eventually the Association wants a waterfall. "Lisa Mosley is going to make us a mural," said Marks. "This will be a place of solitude, reflection and healing." The idea for the Park came to Marks after a visit to the Federal Prison in Big Springs (on a prison ministry). "I went to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial while I was there. I was very impressed with that. It was not done by a professional, but you could see the love and care that was put into the Memorial." The Association is searching now for military surplus equipment. They hope to put equipment such as a cannon, a Huey, and maybe a jet at the location. Donations are being accepted now for the landscaping. "The flag poles alone will cost $5,000," said Marks. "The Association has applied for, but is still waiting for their tax exempt status to come through. Checks can be made out now to the City of Lockney--for the Memorial Park. The Association is also seeking information on area veterans and will be starting a data base. The Association is encouraging Veterans to come be a part of the group. "We meet the last Tuesday of every month," said Marks. "The next meeting will be April 26th, 7:30 p.m., at the American Legion Hall (the former Lockney Community Center), in Lockney. The building is located on Hwy. 387 next to the Lockney Swimming Pool. "Many Vietnam Veterans feel like their job was left undone," said Marks. "Veterans carry a lot of scars that run deep and sometimes they don't get any closure. We hope this Memorial will help in that process."
DRIVER
HOSPITALIZED--Jesus O. Varela, 37, of Richmond, Texas was
taken to UMC Hospital in Lubbock by helicopter after he
failed to negotiate the curve at Hwy. 70 and Hwy. 62 Y
Intersection in Floydada, Monday morning, April 18. Varela
is listed in stable condition. Varela was traveling east and
hauling cotton bales from Plainview Compress to Houston.
According to investigating Police Officer, Ruben DeLeon, the
truck slid 87 feet after it turned over. "Speed was a factor
in the incident," said DeLeon. Police and clean-up crews
were at the scene from 9:50 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
Trustees Discuss Buying Laptops for FHS Students By Darwin Robinson During the April 11 board meeting FISD trustees had a lengthy discussion concerning the immediate need to decide whether to buy laptop computers for the entire high school student body for the 2005-2006 school year. The board heard from Superintendent Vaughn, Board Member Bill Dean, FHS Principal Wayne Morren, FJHS Principal Jim Bob Hobbs and FISD Technology Director Rex Holcombe. Superintendent Vaughn told the board, "We met on March 28th with representatives from Apple Computers and we looked at the need for the high school. We looked at the infrastructure and technology needs at the high school, in order to accommodate this (laptops for every student), like we did at the junior high." "We will need $32,504 now in order to pull this off, according to Holcombe's estimates. Whether we buy the laptops, or not, we must get ready anyway (in computer technology) for about $13,124 (this coming school year), as compared with $32,504 getting ready for the laptop computers. The difference is about $19,380," explained Vaughn. FISD has already applied for two grants to help pay for some of this expense, according to Vaughn. "We are looking for additional grants as they come available, but we don't know any results on any of these grants. We are looking for additional funding from Austin on this," added Vaughn. The Austin legislature is presently looking at ways to divert school textbook funds into the computer and technology needs of Texas schools, according to Vaughn. "If we can get our textbook money freed up for this, then we will be in pretty good shape," said Vaughn. "We will come to a jumping off point on this issue at our next board meeting (on May 17th). We need to be able to have summer training done for teachers in order to get this implemented for the next school year. We need to get the equipment installed and be ready for the next school year. We must decide whether we are going to do it, or not. This will be an action item on the May agenda," said Vaughn. A four year lease with Apple for the laptop computers, plus the needed equipment to be installed at the high school, will cost $160,000 per year for four years, according to Vaughn. Speaking on behalf of buying the high school laptops and keeping the junior high students at their computer levels that they are now used to, FHS Superintendent Morren told the board, "When the sixth graders come to the high school (without laptop computers), it will be like fish out of water. We will have real problems in a couple of years (without laptop computer technology at the high school). It will help us on our TAKS tests and speed up our studies. We will cover more territory and help us meet our tests' requirements." Vaughn added, "We need to extend this program (laptop computer technology) to the high school as these (junior high) kids progress. If Austin passes a bill to help us with TIP (Technology Immersion Program), then the whole state will go this way. We need to extend this to all the kids at the high school. Some schools we can't compete with, but laptop computers put all the kids on the same level." FJHS Principal Hobbs said, "Yes, this will put all the kids on the same playing field. It will bridge the gap. The junior high kids pick up these (computer) skills very quickly. They know more than most adults do about computers." Vaughn concluded, "Our Fund Balance can be used for this type of technology." Lockney Council Continues Discussion on City Ordinance Regulating Pit Bulls in City On Friday, April 15th the Lockney City Council met and discussed banning Pit Bull dogs from the city limits. Three citizens addressed the counsel with concerns about dog problems in the city. Concerns from dogs running at large, barking dogs and owners not getting license for their pets were discussed. The main discussion however was the possible ban of Pit Bulls. Mayor Stapp cited a number of citizens complaints about Pit Bull dogs. "I have also received a number of calls and comments from the public in favor of banning Pit Bulls from Lockney," said Stapp. City Attorney Lanny Voss advised the council of the research he has made concerning banning Pit Bull dogs. "The law does not allow us to ban any breed of dog from the city," stated Voss. "However recent laws have been passed to address the problem of dangerous dogs." Citing Sec. 822 of the Health & Safety Code Voss stated, "This statue is clear and has teeth it to back it up". According to Voss any dog could be declared a dangerous dog if it takes action that would qualify as a dangerous dog. If for instance a dog tried, or did bite someone a police officer or the Animal Control Officer could deem the dog a dangerous dog. The owner would then be required by law to secure $100,000 in liability insurance for the dog. The dog would have to be confined in an enclosed area and a sign placed on the inclosure advising the public that a "Dangerous Dog" is kept in that area. The City Council has discretion to define what is considered an acceptable inclosure. The council felt that a tall solid fence, no chain link, that could not be dug under would be appropriate. The council will discuss updating their current ordinance and take action on the matter at a future meeting. In other matters City Manager Ron Hall asked Attorney Voss to look into options concerning notice to property owners who let weeds grow on lots in town. At this time when weeds grow tall Ron has to send a certified notice to the property owner and then give them ten days to mow the weeds before the city can go in and mow the property. "This process can take up to 25 days before the city can mow the lot," said Hall. "By this time the weeds have grown ever taller". Attorney Voss is going to look into the matter and report back to the council. The council then discussed two properties owned by Joe Castro. The city has requested that Castro repair and clean up the properties. Little action has been taken by Castro and the city will now take ordinance action against him. Councilwoman Graves advised, "We have given Mr. Castro 120 days to make repairs on these properties. We have also give him 60 more days on top of that." " We asked Mr. Castro to come to this meeting but he has not shown up," said Stapp. Representatives from Western Industrial Supply addressed the council with a proposal to update the water metering system to a radio controlled system. This system would replace old existing meters with new ones. The meters could be read by a radio system located in the water department truck. Meters could be read in a fraction of the time with more accuracy. The new meters would also be more accurate as to the amount of water used by the customer. Western Industrial Supply offered to bring in some meters and do some random test to give the council some firm data. Mayor Stapp advised that this information would be helpful during the next budget cycle and that the council would take a serious look at the proposal at that time. Councilwoman Tina Graves had concerns on the slow city audit report. "The E.D.C needs this information as soon as possible to pursue grants. Hall stated the City should have the audit completed by May or June." Graves also advised the council that she has been approached to sell 34 acres owned by the city at the old landfill. Tina will get back to the council with a offer from the person interested in the property. Councilman Copeland advised the council he had reservations about the sale of the property. He felt the city might want to use this property again in the future. No action was taken on the matter at this time. The council voted unanimous to reappoint Ed Marks to the Mackenzie Water Board for 2 more years. Also by unanimous vote the council canceled the upcoming city election because of no contested races. The Old Downtown Theatre in Lockney is continuing to undergo transformation thanks to the Lockney Beautification Association's intent for making it an open-air theatre. After an initial demolition took place by several volunteers both young and old back in the fall, the men from the Plainview Formby Wheeler Unit have helped complete the demolition, hauled off the excess trash, and brought in fill dirt. Another community-wide workday is being announced for Saturday, April 23rd beginning around 9:30 am. This workday will focus on leveling the dirt in preparation for the sprinkler system and grass planting. Another workday will be slated in May to trench and install the sprinklers and lay the sod. Larry Mullins, chairperson for LBA states, "We would love to see all those interested to come and join the fun this Saturday as we continue to work on something that all of Lockney can be proud of. And don't forget to bring your rake." The Floydada Chamber, the Red Hat Society, the City of Floydada, Lighthouse Electric, and the Highway Department are joining forces to encourage people to participate in a "Clean-Up Trash Day", Friday, April 22rd in Floydada. To encourage people to participate there will be a "free" day at the landfill, all day on Friday. People can bring large items to the north side of Lowe's Grocery Store for disposal. Extra dumpsters and trailers will be placed there. If a resident has no way to haul items to the landfill, they can put only large items (stove, couch, chair, washing machines), behind their houses in the alley. "They must call the City to let us know items are there to pick up," said City Manager Gary Brown. "This service is only for elderly, disabled, or those without a pickup to haul the items. Tires will not be accepted." The Red Hat Society will be joining in clean up by handing out Krispy Kreme donuts and coffee at Lowe's Pay-N-Save beginning at 8:30 a.m., April 22rd.
By Darwin Robinson The FISD Board met Tuesday, April 11 and approved a feasibility study for possibly acquiring the old Caprock Hospital building for school use. Following a lengthy discussion, in closed session, the board unanimously approved a feasibility study, to be done by Grimes and Associates of Lubbock, concerning the possibility of acquiring the old Caprock Hospital facility for school use. Board Member Kerry Pratt said, "This looks like a real good deal, if we can make it work." Superintendent Vaughn added, "We need to look at the building for asbestos studies and its structure for renovation and use in a school setting. Maybe we could use it for Junior High or whatever." Board Member Pratt made the motion and Board Member Mark McCormick seconded it. In a related matter, FISD Business Manager Sharon Rainwater presented the board with the March, 2005 Financial Report. a Tax Statement, and the March Cash Flow Statement. The March Financial Report showed the General Operating Fund at $5,704,758.97. The March Cash Flow Statement showed Average Monthly Expenses at $580,000.00, with a Current Cash Balance of $5,337,381.19, and a projected increase of $412,252.87 to the Fund Balance as of August 31st. The March Tax Statement showed $1,972,976.67 collected, which is 94.89 percent of the Current Tax Roll of $2,088,173.01. The board voted unanimously to accept bids to purchase two new school buses and to sell two old buses. One bus will be for CSSA with a handicap lift. The other bus will be a 55 to 72 passenger bus, with seat belts and shoulder restraints, to be delivered after September 1, 2005. Upon recommendation by Superintendent Vaughn, the board took no action on renewing a tax collection contract with the Floyd County Central Appraisal District from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007. Vaughn suggested the board wait and see a piece of legislation in Austin to be filed soon that will allow counties, with less than 10,000 population, to have their taxes collected by the Texas Comptroller's Office. The 2005 summer school student program LEP (Limited English Proficient) was set by the board to be in session from June 1 through July 13, 2005. The board approved the 2005-2006 school calendar starting classes on August 17, 2005 and ending May 24, 2006.

By The Way | by Alice Gilroy
A View From The Lamplighter | by Ken Towery
We see by the papers where the U.S. Postal Service intends, once again, to raise the price of mailing a letter. How all that will play itself out in terms of overall postal rate increases will remain to be seen. About the only guide we have, in this instance, is history. And history is not kind to those who pay the bill. We can only imagine that rates will go up across the board, and it will cost more to deliver the Hesperian-Beacon to your door. So steel yourself, gentle reader, for an eventual increase in the annual cost of this newspaper. We don't know how the Publisher/Editor is going to handle the matter. But we do know two things for certain: we operate on a very thin margin, and the paper is worth far more than it costs. We probably don't do as good a job as we should in delivering a topnotch newspaper to our readers door each week. Nobody here is always completely satisfied with our product. There's always a word or two that should have been changed, or could have been changed, to make things read better. There's always a "lead" that could have been different. But when we compare our product with newspapers costing twice as much, or three times as much, and charge 100 times as much, or more, in advertising rates, I think our staff does a pretty good job. Our readers must think so, too. The Hesperian has been here for more than 100 years, and, with luck and continued dedication on the part of our staff, will be here another 100 years. We hope so, even with escalating costs every time we turn around. As an advertising medium, the printed word is still the best bet going. In terms of immediacy, we must defer to radio and television on some things, but in terms of coverage, and the thoroughness of that coverage, there is still no comparison. ---------- We also see by the papers where Israeli Prime Minister Arial Sharon is in the U.S. to visit with President Bush, among other things. We hope the meeting goes well. There will, of course, be no change in the devotion of this President, as opposed to his father, of anything Israel wants or desires relative to the Middle East. Things have always been different with Israel. As a general rule, when a "client state" signs on and accepts American taxpayer money, they agree to do America's bidding. That's the way it worked with Taiwan for years. Then they made the determination that they were able to stand on their own two feet. They voluntarily gave up billions of dollars in "aid" of one kind or another. That's the way it happened with India, although there had to be some prodding along the way. But that's not the way it has happened with Israel, or ever will happen with Israel. No matter who is in charge there, and evidently no matter who is in charge here, the annual dole of American taxpayer money continues to flow. Congress would have apoplexy if it had to choose between Americans and Israelis, even if one is the giver and the other is the "givee." And American Administrations, ever since the days of Harry Truman, have vied for favor within the American Jewish establishment. They're still vying, and no change is in the works. The current President understands the situation much better than his father did. He understands politics better, even if his principles don't measure up to his dad's.
