This past week Floyd County received rainfall everywhere from as little as one and a half inches in the Sterley Community to 12 inches in Dougherty according to citizens in those communities.
Flooding occurred in Floydada and Dougherty, but Lockney only suffered from muddy alleys and delayed trash pickup according to Lockney's City Secretary Charlotte Hooten. In regards to Lockney having any flooding, Hooten said in the flooded areas water stayed standing "not even a day."
Floydada City Manager Gary Brown, when asked how the city handled all the water, replied, "With mops and buckets and pumps [...] and the help of the highway department."
Brown said there was no major damage in town, but "we got close around the south side of town." According to Brown, the Dairy Queen lakes came "close to being in people's houses."
Unfortunately Mackenzie Lake, according to Brown, only received one and six-tenths inches of rain from this storm.
Darty Gin owners Randy and Denise Pernell said Dougherty received over 12 inches of rain in a 24 hour time frame. Pictures from the area showed streets, cotton fields, and the gin yard completely inundated with standing water. Denise Pernell said even after the rain stopped, water continued to run across the roads to lower ground.
Jim Covington of Floydada reported that the area north of Dougherty probably received close to 24 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Lighthouse Electric Co-op Sends Help to East Texas ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Co-ops Hit Hard by Hurricane Ike

Seven employees of Lighthouse Electric Cooperative are East Texas-bound to help rebuild power lines downed in the wake of Hurricane Ike. Ike, a Category 2 hurricane, struck the Galveston/Houston area of the Texas coast late Friday night/early Saturday morning, then continued on a path north and east through East Texas leaving major damage in its wake.
The volunteers include Foreman Johnny Gourdon, Todd Williams, Tate Glasscock, Adrian Martinez, Fidel Valdes, and Ray Perez from the Floydada headquarters and Dickie Cloyd from the Hall County District office in Memphis. The crew left Monday morning to drive the 500 miles to San Augustine, Texas, headquarters of Deep East Texas Electric Cooperative, whose electrical system sustained major damage from hurricane force winds and torrential rains associated with Ike.
The Texas statewide association requested all available Texas cooperative workers be dispatched to assist their fellow cooperatives in East Texas, said Tiffin Wortham, vice president of member services/loss control for Texas Electric Cooperatives (TEC), the statewide cooperative association.
Even before Hurricane Ike pounded the Gulf Coast, Texas' electric cooperatives geared up for deployment to assist linemen in storm-damaged areas.
"Only two days after land fall, in a true testament to the cooperative spirit, we have already dispatched approximately 281 men and their associated equipment from 32 TEC member systems to the 11 electric cooperatives with major damage," Wortham said. "The hardest hit systems begin their restoration efforts with 100 percent of their system without power, and the others average 50 to 75 percent of their total system without power."
"If I was facing the situation these East Texas co-ops are facing, with power lines down and practically all my members out of power, the best thing I could hope to see would be Johnny Gourdon and his crew arriving to help," noted Lighthouse General Manager, Bill Harbin. "It's something we do as co-op people. We help each other."

In their Sept. 9 meeting, the Floydada Independent School District Board of Trustees met to discuss the tax report and cash flow statement, view the elementary school construction project, hear the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) report and review the class size surveys for grades K-4.
There were four students honored as "students of the month." Principal Gilbert Trevino of A.B. Duncan Elementary introduced "students of the month" second grader Jazmine Rivas and fifth grader Klarissa Mendoza. Junior high principal Mac Sherman introduced eighth grader Cody Alaniz. Principal Wayne Morren introduced senior Brett Whalen.
Also honored as "educators of the month" for A.B. Duncan Elementary were Shelia Joiner (third grade) and Tavia Davis (first grade).
Business manager Sharon Rainwater gave the tax report: "M&O current tax roll is $1,656,220.13; net collections are $1,607,429.81; I&S tax roll is $184,025.44 and net collections are $178,603.29." According to Rainwater, the percent of roll collected thus far is "97.05 percent" compared to last year's "97.02 percent."
The board heard a report from Bert Moffitt from Grimes & Associates on the construction at A.B. Duncan Elementary. According to superintendent Jerry Vaughn, progress continues, but no new sizable aspects of the project have been completed.
Next, the board discussed FISD's FIRST report. According to the management report, FIRST is "a financial accountability system for Texas school disctricts developed by the Texas Education Agency." This same report says there are four possible financial accountability ratings for school districts, from highest to lowest, "Superior Achievement," "Above-Standard Achievement," "Standard Achievement" and "Substandard Achievement."
The FISD passed with flying colors for the 2007-2008 school year, earning a rating of "superior achievement."
After a motion by board member Lyle Miller, the board unanimously accepted the FIRST report for 2007-2008.
The board was pleased to hear the class size survey of grades K-4 showed there were no classes over the state mandated 22/1 ratio. The addition of a new kindergarten teacher, Kami Sanders, enabled the school district to stay within legal limits.
According to the minutes, Vaughn was requested by the board to begin getting prices on items the board is considering for improvement projects for FISD in the 2008-2009 school year.
During reports from the principals, Morren said the high school has 243 enrolled, Sherman stated there to be 174 students in the junior high, and Trevino reported 454 students at the elementary school.
According to Morren, the high school band has 20 freshmen. He said, "We are working on confidence."
Sherman informed the board, "There will be a part-time reading interventionist hired." Also, he wanted the board to know of the upcoming mini Olympics - to take place next week - and the pep rally at 3 p.m. on Thursday.
Rex Holcombe, FISD's Technology Coordinator, announced "things have not been so smooth." He reported problems with e-mail hackers. However, on a positive note, he informed the board of the new Floydada ISD website where a new football schedule is posted.
Vaughn reported a good start to the school year with membership at 886 on Friday, Sept. 5. He announced the date for homecoming as Sept. 26 with an "all school pep rally at 2:45 p.m." He also said, "The homecoming queen candidates will be announced at 7:10 p.m. at the game."
Lockney Homecoming: Sept. 19-20 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Floydada Homecoming: Sept. 26-27
Dear Editor: I have many family snapshots of the Will and Hattie Foster family who lived on Crockett Street in the 1940's and into the 1970's.
I have tried to find some of the family through the internet without success. Some lived in Lubbock at that time, I think.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of Clyde Foster, wife, Mickey and a daughter named Linda, or Gene Foster, wife Kathryn or Katherine and a son, Bobby Gene, or Jewell Foster Walters, husband, Elwood, and a son, Joe Walters, or any other relations to these people, I would like to get those snapshots to someone in that family.
Granddaughter, Judy Lou Martin was raised by Will and Hattie and she married a Harold Smith, I think, and had two children. Judy Lou died in the 1960's Several members of the family may be deceased as they were my mother's first cousins and would be quite elderly by now.
My mother was a half-sister to Hattie Cherry Foster. Her name was Nettie Mae Jones and she is deceased.
If anyone has any information I would appreciate it if they would contact me.
Sincerely, Barbara Jones Wesley

Short and Sweet | by Sara Sisemore
It was the perfect day to stay home. The rain was falling gently, musically on the tree leaves outside, the air was cool and damp, there was nothing pressing to do in my day planner... It was the perfect day.
Except I was sick. Whatever the nasty stomach bug is that's going around town, believe me, you don't want it. I felt miserable - the complete opposite of the perfect day waiting for me to enjoy, curled up inside with a good book and a nice cup of hot tea.
Just one, itsy-bitsy, tiny, little thing was wrong, and the day was no longer perfect. What a waste.
But that's how it works. Perfection means 100 percent - not even one, little, tiny thing can be wrong, or else it's not perfect. Everyone knows 99.9 percent may be close, but it's still not 100.
It's the same way with righteousness. Righteousness is an all or nothing thing - just like perfection. You either are or you aren't; either have it or you don't. Just one, little, tiny mess-up (aka. sin) and your self-made, self-earned righteousness is gone.
Okay, it's a dim picture. But there is good news. One of my favorite passages in the Bible is 1 John 1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin" (ESV).
What a beautiful thought! What a wonderful gift! What a clear reality. He tells it to us so plainly.
The picture the inspired writer John gives us is that of a walk - something with direction, purpose, intent, and a destination. We may/will not walk perfectly (100 percent), but when we continually walk, without losing sight of the destination or the purpose, then what do we get? "The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin."
I'm so grateful for this gift and the clear, easy to understand directions he has given us.
My main goal in life is to live this walk daily. And I'm so glad I have the map (Bible) to remind me of the direction I need to go. He gave it to us for a reason, so I figure I should read it frequently so I don't get lost along the way.
Have you read His Map recently? He gives good directions. Maybe you should give it a try.
...and to the point.
Eat This! | by Ryan Mills
I'm probably gonna take a lot of heat from my buddies for writing a cooking column, but I don't get much heat from those same buddies while cooking for them.
Food has become my favorite hobby over the last decade or so. I'm no culinary-trained chef like my good friend Brian Steele down in Austin and formerly of Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse in New Orleans, but my food is edible. Not to mention Mr. Steele has shown me a thing or two in all our years as friends.
Mostly, though, cooking is just something I enjoy and according to my wife, Marci, something I don't do enough of.
What you will find in this space are proven crowd pleasers that I've made numerous times for family and friends alike. You won't find anything too fancy and you won't find anything too difficult. If I can make it, anyone can make it.
Recently, I was watching the latest Pixar movie "Ratatouille" with my 6-year-old. From the time the movie came out, I knew two things. One, it was a Pixar movie so I knew it would be good and two, it was about a rat who yearned to cook and I was interested. The thing that really caught my attention, though, was a phrase uttered by Chef Gusteau in the movie that made me smile, because I've said it before myself.
"Anyone can cook" he says, and it's true.
I will start with an appetizer today, and it's one of which many of you have probably had someone's variation of. Many of you have even had my recipe. Over the years, I have taken a pretty common recipe and made it my own with a few little twists. I have taken suggestions on this recipe from my wife as well as Keith Loter, and some of it was my own idea. I've heard them called things like "Armadillo Eggs" and "Texas Poppers" but around my house they are simply known as Stuffed Peps.
I can honestly say of the hundreds of people I've served these to, they never disappoint and you can never seem to make enough. For a party I once made 100 of these, and they lasted maybe 30 minutes - I didn't even get one.
A few tips before the recipe &emdash; I don't even attempt it unless the jalapeno peppers are at least four inches long. I prefer the biggest I can get but anything smaller than four inches and they are hard to deal with. Also, I always clean the veins and seeds out of the peppers with a melon baller. We'll put a little spice back in them later with some hot sausage. Also, while you are cleaning the peppers I strongly advise wearing latex gloves. There's nothing worse than rubbing your face or eyes after forgetting you have jalapeno juice all over them. I know, I've done it.
And as with all recipes it can be halved, doubled, tripled - whatever. My mantra is no recipe is carved in stone so feel free to experiment.
The recipe below makes 30 appetizers.
Ingredients 15 large, raw jalapenos, the bigger the better latex gloves 1 block of cream cheese 1 1/2 cup shredded mexican blend cheese 1/2 lb. hot and spicy breakfast sausage 1 package of peppered bacon 30 toothpicks
Directions Cut the stem ends off the peppers and then cut each pepper in half lengthwise. Use the melon baller to de-vein and de-seed the peppers. Preheat the oven to 350. Brown the sausage in a skillet on medium heat until all pink is gone. In a bowl, mix sausage, cream cheese and shredded cheese. Take a large cookie sheet and coat with non-stick spray. Take the package of peppered bacon and cut the block of bacon perpendicular through the middle turning each long slice of bacon into two slices. This makes each slice of bacon fit almost perfectly around the pepper. With a spoon, fill each pepper with the cream cheese mixture and then wrap a piece of bacon around and secure with a toothpick. Bake at 350, depending on the oven, for 30-45 minutes. I pull mine out when the cream cheese mixture just starts to brown on top. Note: If you plan to use your grill instead of the oven, put foil sheets on the grill as the open flame tends to cause the cream cheese filling to run out.

The Paperboy | by Christopher Blackburn
As you might have noticed, I'm somewhat conservative. Does that mean I'm a Republican? No. Actually, I consider myself an Independent.
I've known politicians my entire life. I stuck a cookie in the mouth of Gov. Dolph Briscoe as a boy and visited Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock in Austin because I thought he was brilliant. Both were friends of my grandfather, the late Morris Higley, a newspaper publisher from Childress.
Sen. Phil Gramm helped me get a dorm at Texas A&M and Rep. Mac Thornberry was a pallbearer at my grandfather's funeral.
The first two I mentioned were Democrats, the second two Republicans. I consider them not only skilled politicians, but good men. They served or are serving us well.
I have always admired Gov. Ann Richards and consider James Carville brilliant.
I've always thought Oklahoma Rep. J.C. Watts should have stayed in office and I appreciate the humor of Dennis Miller.
Richards and Carville are Dems while Watts and Miller are not.
Michael Moore may be one of the biggest jackasses in world history followed closely by Pat Buchanan.
I consider Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan the greatest U.S. presidents of the last century.
Why am I disclosing this? I think it's fair for the readers to know it.
We live in a very cynical time on both sides of the aisle and it has become borderline ridiculous. I hate to break the news to you, but there are good people in both parties and there are some who deserve to be ousted.
Currently, President Bush has an approval rating of 32.7 percent and a disapproval rating of 64.7 percent.
By contrast, Congress, which is controlled by Democrats, has an approval rating of 20.3 percent and a disapproval rating of 72 percent.
It looks to me like the vast majority of Americans are a bit fed up with both parties and the entire process.
For me, my biggest concerns tend to be rural issues. Are our farmers being protected? Are the state and federal governments paying attention to the needs of rural schools? Are we getting strong representation from our elected officials? Do we have the best law enforcement for rural residents? Is our health care adequate?
Simply put, we have issues which are either put on the back burner or never addressed at all and it is killing rural America. It's not a Republican issue and it's not a Democrat issue. It's because it takes population centers to get elected to office and that's one thing small towns don't have.
There are great Americans in both parties and there always have been. The trouble starts when members stop reaching across the aisle for the good of us all.
This election season, demand that whomever you vote for begin paying attention to the 80 million Americans who live in small towns. If enough of us do that, the issues affecting us might start getting the proper attention.
