SPARKLING RED, WHITE, AND BLUE HAIR WAS A HIT IN LOCKNEY'S 4TH OF JULY PARADE
4TH OF JULY CELEBRATED--Lockney youth rode their decorated bikes and four wheelers down Main Street in the traditional Lockney 4th of July Youth Parade. The parade, was led off by the Boy Scouts and cheered on by residents along the street. This woman was a patient at W.J. Mangold Memorial and joined the nurses along the curb to show her patriotism.

LOWE'S CELEBRATES 4TH--Lowe's Pay-N-Save in Floydada, once again displayed their patriotism and customer appreciation with their annual 4th of July free breakfast and "super bargain" lunch. Hundreds were served a breakfast of eggs and sausage, and lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs. Kids enjoyed "bouncing gyms" and the Elvis impersonator. A live band, The Four Aces, also entertained throughout the day The store stayed so busy with shoppers scooping up the bargains that by the end of the day the grocery bags were gone and shoppers were carrying home groceries in boxes.
By Jeffrey Hunter For Abraham and Cathy Rosales of Lockney, the fourth of July weekend brought more than just the usual celebrations&emdash;it brought them their two sons, returning home from war in Iraq. "I just can't describe what it feels like," Cathy Rosales said. "Just knowing that they were coming home safe, it was wonderful." Specialist Adrian Rosales, a member of the Army's 208th Signal Company, and Corporal Abel Rosales, who is serving with the 2nd MP Battalion of the Marine Corps, returned to Lockney last week after serving six months in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Both soldiers returned to their bases in June. The family suprised Adrian as he flew into his base a few weeks ago. They journied to North Carolina to bring Abel home from his base last week. "When I first saw them, I almost started crying," Abel said. "But I didn't have enough energy to cry." Cathy says having two sons fighting overseas simultaneous was very stressfull. "It was very scary," Cathy said. "We would watch the news every day and they would say that another soldier died or another marine was killed, but they never gave a name. "You never knew if it was your son or someone elses, and they didn't get to call very much." After serving in the desert and meeting the Iraqi people, the soldiers returned home with a new outlook on life. "It really made me appreciate the things I have," Abel said. "I might not be the richest man in the world, but I'm better off than a lot of people." Abel's unit provided security for convoys making their way into Iraq carrying food, supplies and ammunition. "The day the war started, the first column went into Iraq at 4 p.m.," Able said. "I was the gunman for my unit and we went four hours into Iraq." The unit accompanied the second convoy to enter Baghdad after U.S. occupation. The group stayed two days in Baghdad, even sleeping in one of Saddam's former palaces. Abel says that his unit met little resistance from the Iraqi military, but they were occasionally fired upon. "We drew contact seven times," Abel said. "It was never a real firefight. They mostly just took pop-shots, where they would pop up from behind a berm and fire a few shots." The unit suffered no American casualties but had to evacuate one of their Kuwaiti drivers after he was injured in fighting. Adrian served in a communications unit based in Kuwait that handled the communications needs of the columns of soldiers and convoys of supplies that flowed into Iraq. While in the region, both brothers had contact with the native citizens. "I mostly had contact with Kuwaitis," Adrian said. "Some of them knew English, but most of the time they would just talk to you in their language." The soldiers were often well received. "They acted like they were really glad to see you," Adrian said. "The little kids would run to the side of the road and give us a thumbs up, and the other traffic would wave as they passed by." "The kids were alright," Abel said. "They mostly just wanted food and water. Their parents were a little grouchy though." According to the brothers, the fear of chemical weapons was always present as the war started. "When the war started, we were digging a bunker," Abel said. "The sirens went off and we had to put on our [gas] masks and jump in." Returning home to their mother's cooking was quite a treat for the brothers after six months of MRE's (meals ready to eat) and civilian catering that was often local cuisine. "You were sure to have rice or potatoes at every meal," Abel said. "Sometimes you had both." Cathy says that her sons are keeping her busy with their requests. "They make sure they tell me what they want [to eat]," Cathy said. "Thats what they say they missed the most &emdash; home cooking." The brothers had to endure many of the desert's harshest inconveniences during their 6-month deployment. Sand storms often disrupted their daily routine. "It got so bad that you couldn't see what was right in front of you," Adrian said. "But it didn't matter, we kept working." "It wasn't sand like around here," Abel said. "It was thin sand, so fine that it got through every little crack." Even the famed West Texas heat couldn't match up with the temperatures that the brothers endured during their time in the desert. "Its not hot here," Abel said. "Even at midnight [In Iraq], its 95 degrees." "At least it cools down at night here," Adrian said. Able says that to make matters worse, his unit went a stretch of 45 days without a shower. "We were only given three bottles of water a day," Abel said. "We tried to clean up with some of that, but it's all the water you got. You could either stink or be thirsty." Despite the harsh desert conditions, modern conveniences, like portable DVD players, helped them endure the discomfort and pass the time. Although U.S. Customs confiscated much of the souvenirs soldiers brought from Iraq, the brothers returned home with a few mementos of their time in the desert. Both brought rugs for their mother, Iraqi Denair and a mound of photographs. The brothers will return to their bases &emdash; Adrian to Fort Bliss and Abel to Camp Legume &emdash; on July 13. Until then, they say that they will continue to enjoy their time with the family. "The whole family is here bugging mom and dad," Adrian said. "It's great to be home."

I assume it was a "letter to the editor") Dear Editor: Yours was the only email address I could find on the web. I watched the documentary last night about your school board and mandatory drug testing. It was a sickening and nauseating reminder of why I left west Texas 30 years ago and vowed never to return. You ostracized and punished the only thinking people in your town and the comments of your "citizens" in that documentary were like sound bites from Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Obviously the filmmaker has a point to make but gosh almighty... is there no one in your town that has the mentality to see how wrong what you did is? It wasn't just that you did it, it was the way you defended it and brainwashed a bunch of nazi youth. I cannot fathom any of these kids succeeding in any kind of real world scenario. Maybe they could be Baptist preachers or kindergarten teachers, but running an important enterprise or creating something great in this world? Forget it. They're a bunch of mindless mediocre sheep. You should be ashamed of yourself and every thinking person in Texas should be ashamed for allowing you to run a school system that teaches this kind of thing. You do not even understand what America and The Constitution is about. It's been said that the only things distant history will remember about the United States will be baseball, The Constitution and Jazz. I'll add to that: Lockney, Texas. Surely there are some decent, thinking, reasonable people there, but from what I can tell, most of you are like the jerks and jackasses I had to deal with when I lived in Lubbock. You are just a horrible bunch of people and if anyone ever asks me about doing business in or near your "community" I will warn them to stay far away. Ken Baker kenb@bluestreakmedia.com
Dear Editor: Concerning the Lockney School Board drug testing program aired on PBS tonight: Alice Gilroy's comment that "...it would be harder for parents to deal with their children's potential drug abuse if the school board's policy could not be implemented (paraphrase)" leads me to say to her and all parents: YOU take responsibility of raising your children and don't expect any school board or other institution to do it for you. The problem here is not drug testing, it's parenting! The policy should state that parents should be held responsible for the abuse of their children...whether they be doing drugs or breaking school windows on a drunken friday night spree! Take charge Alice...and all you parents of Lockney...take charge of your responsibilties as parents.

By The Way | by Alice Gilroy I'm a t.v. star. Publicity is what I've always wanted. I'm waiting for the paparrazi to start camping out on my doorstep and flash bulbs to start popping behind my bushes. My co-stars are John Quebe, Lisa Mosley, Debbie Montandon, Jesse Garza, Raymond Lusk, Larry Tannahill, ACLU lawyers, and a bunch of wackos on the Austin Courthouse steps. (I get top billing of course-because I'm writing this story). Along with the fame comes stalkers and hate mail. I thought it was supposed to bring stalkers and love letters--but in my case that hasn't happened. Alright--I'm exaggerating--nobody is stalking me. Just when you thought the Larry vs. Lockney story was old history, the PBS story made it to the national spotlight. Instead of just playing on the local PBS station it has appeared three times on PBS nationally. The producers of the show are naturally very excited. I'm happy for them because they worked very hard--but I would have been happier without my face appearing on the show so many times. It is hard, of course, to have your thoughts expressed just the way you want when several people get to edit what you have to say--DID I HEAR SOMEONE OUT THERE SNICKER? Did I hear someone say, "Turnabout is fair play!"? Obviously the producers of the show get to tell their story, and I know I'm not the only one who would have liked to go back and clarify some thoughts. But that would have taken more time-and time is what is edited in t.v. The first time the show aired nationally I came in to work the next morning and was greeted with two letters from "viewers". We printed them this week in the "letters to the editor" column. These writers were obviously not fans of Lockney ISD or me in particular. I've managed to keep on sleeping at night after getting these letters, but I would like to clarify something I said in the show. Not because I care what those writers think of me, but just because I can use my space to say what I want. After the Circuit Court ruling came down in favor of Tannahill, producers Mark Birnbaum and Jim Schermbeck came to my house with their questions and camera. They wanted some spur of the moment reactions to the ruling. I was cooking pork chops in the kitchen and more worried about how my pork chops were going to look on t.v. than I was worried about anything else. I was asked if I thought the parents in Lockney would voluntarily drug test their children if the school district voted to implement voluntary drug testing. It was a 30 minute conversation, so obviously I was edited. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the edit changed my thoughts. I said something to the effect of, "I don't know. Some parents can't make the hard decisions. They don't want to be the bad guy. It is easier on them to have the school's make the hard decisions for them. "They (some parents) can say, 'Well, you have to--the school says so.'" In the edit, the last sentence was all that got on the air. It appears (to me at least) that I am saying the schools should make the hard decisions for other people's kids. I, of course, don't feel that way. I believe parents are supposed to be parents first and friends second. I believe parents have to be the bad guys sometimes. But, unfortunately for those trying to give our kids an education--and unfortunately for those kids who come to school to get an education-- there are parents out there who won't make those difficult decisions. Some of these parents are drug abusers or alcoholics themselves. Their children are fighting an uphill battle trying to stay substance free. These children may need extra help from a strict drug policy in their school. These kids need a reason--any reason--to say no. LISD was trying to give them that reason. If the world was full of parents who were more concerned with raising stable children than they were in partying or in their own desires, our schools wouldn't have to fill the void. Some parents already expect the school to do it all--as long as it doesn't step on those parents toes. Thank goodness there are parents, on both sides of the drug testing policy, who are watching out for their kids and who do want to make those tough decisions. I just wish there were more of those parents to go around.
A View From The Lamplighter | by Ken Towery Redistricting It looks like we will have to get used to another Congressman representing us in Washington. It is still too early to tell exactly what shape our new Congressional District will be, but the Texas House has passed and sent to the Senate a new configuration that could put us in a district dominated by Lubbock, rather than one dominated by Amarillo. The new district will probably be represented by Rep. Charles Stenholm, of Stamford, or Randy Neugebauer of Lubbock. Stenholm is a long-time Democratic Congressman, while Neugebauer (we had to ask a Lubbock friend how to spell Newgebauer, and she had to look it up) is a recently elected Republican replacement for former Congressman Larry Combest, whose district, under the old configuration, stretched north and south, from parts of Amarillo in the north to include Lubbock and the Midland-Odessa area at its southern end. The new district will stretch from the New Mexico line in the west to the Texas Hill Country in the east. Actually, the new districts make a lot more sense than the federal court-mandated scenario we are now operating under, even if Republican (?) State Senator Bill Ratliff thinks otherwise. Aside from losing our Congressman Thornberry in Washington (and we'll still have his vote, thank goodness), we see little to complain about. True, the Democrats, with their flight to Ardmore and their mobilization of various special interests (the homosexuals who turned out in mass to protest the possible loss of Lloyd Doggett of Austin, and many in the Democratic money community who mounted the barricades to protest the possible loss of Dallas' Rep. Martin Frost), were partially successful. But in the end, the new configuration may prevail, just as the Constitution says it should. Doggett's seat is protected, as is Frost's, but about the only thing the flight to Ardmore assured, was the expenditure of a couple of million tax dollars that could have been put to other use if the House Democrats had stayed in place and done what they should have done. The real fly in the redistricting ointment is a couple of unhappy Republicans. It is a forgone conclusion that the Democratic minority will be opposed to just about anything the Republicans come up with. After all, they are trying to protect the last bastion of power they have left in Texas, majority control of the U.S. Congressional delegation, and they do not wish to assume the position assumed by Texas Republicans for so many decades. But Ratliff has never been a champion of Republican politics. He, in our opinion, has always been aware of the limelight, which he likes very much, and the limelight, in Texas, is not controlled by the Republican Party. The so-called "Robin Hood" plan, under which rich school districts must give up a part of their school taxes to poorer districts, is his baby, and he is unhappy, and has always been unhappy, that his baby is not loved by everybody, especially members of the family. So, as we said earlier, we don't know how the redistricting battle will come out. But for the sake of voters here in West Texas, we are not extremely unhappy. The so-called "community of interests" has been largely preserved. We would have liked to keep Mac Thornbrerry as our Congressman, we would have liked to see Lloyd Doggett's district changed to force him to give more consideration to rural voters, we would have liked to see Martin Frost's district changed just on general principles, but otherwise the "road map" presented to the Texas Senate by the Texas House is not all that bad. Incidentally, we read where the Senate committee considering all this will be chaired by Republican Senator Duncan of Lubbock. If you have thoughts, you may want to contact him.
