Punkin Day Participants Enjoy Games

Punkin Day participants did not seem to mind the strong winds and dropping temperatures at Floydada's Punkin Days, Saturday, October 12. The day started out with sunshine and brisk winds that created problems for pumpkin seed spitters and booths, but crowds stayed and enjoyed the games, eating, and shopping. Children put lots of effort into pumpkin drawing, pumpkin rolling, and picking out just the right pumpkin to take home. Booths reported good sales and visitors to the city were impressed with the festival.

 

 


Veterans to be Honored in Special Edition Nov. 7

The newspaper will publish a special edition the week before Veteran's Day and the dedication of the Veteran's Memorial.

Inside the edition will be the final list of the names on the Memorial.

Also included in this special section will be photographs of veterans (much like Valentine Issue--but veterans pictures instead). The photographs will be surrounded by a frame of small stars.

If you would like to honor your veteran in special way and include him or her, in this edition bring a photo to the Lockney or Floydada office by October 24.

The photograph can be any size, color or black and white. It can be an old military picture or a more recent picture.

Under the photograph will be the name of the veteran, and the rank and branch of service, and the years served.

The cost to have the picture included in this edition is $20.00.


Cities Ponder Future Water Problems

In response to a resolution passed by the member cities of the Mackenzie Municipal Water Authority, a joint meeting was held October 14 at the Unity Center, to address water concerns of Tulia, Silverton, Floydada, and Lockney.

Representatives from all cities attended as well as engineers, Lee Feese and Kelly Wood; and representatives from Texas Water Development Board, Rural Development, and attorneys.

The cities have presented a resolution to the Water Authority calling for a "qualified engineering firm to determine the costs to move water within the existing system from city to city."

The resolution has also asked the engineer to determine the cost to deactivate and preserve the condition of the Authority's facilities so they can be reactivated at a later date in a cost-effective manner."

After much discussion among all the member cities, engineers, and bankers, the group decided to appoint an executive committee of Mayors and City Managers to come to a consensus about what they want to do.

The engineers informed those at the meeting that the evaporation loss of the water in Lake Mackenzie is greater than usage.

"You should basically use it or lose it," said engineer Lee Freese.

Lockney Mayor Roger Stapp said, "We could be out of water in 1 1/2 years. We have to think of an alternative since our costs are going up. We can produce well water cheaper than through the lake. You go up on the price and our residents use less water. The cities pay more money and we get less revenue."

Tulia City Manager Bryan Easum said, "We have been going along now at 40% restriction for 8 years and paying $4.00 per 1000 gallons. We can pump 1000 gallons for 27 cents."

In response to numerous questions about closing down the Mackenzie Water Plant, attorneys at the meeting informed all member cities that even if the cities are not using the water they must pay the operational costs of running the plant.

All cities are also still responsible for paying off bond indebtedness which was entered into when the dam was built.

Floydada and Lockney entered into the agreement together and owe approximately 3 million dollars. Of that total approximately 65% is Floydada's responsibility and 34% is Lockney's responsibility.

All cities agreed that there would be no move to default on loans but also agreed that a task force would be formed to petition for debt forgiveness by Rural Development and Texas Water Development Board.

Freese said the cities should be aware of "consequences" if they shut down the plant.

"If you shut down the plant you have to have provisions in place to keep the water safe and fresh."

Freese said that although it would be closed it would have to be kept in running mode in the event it would be reopened. "Even if you are not using it you will have to pay for running it."

The meeting adjourned with representatives gathering to form a consensus to present to the Water Authority.

The Lake Mackenzie dam was built in the early 70's. Floydada and Lockney entered into contract for the water in November 1981.

In an interview after the meeting, Floydada City Manager Gary Brown said, "Our original water allotment was 770,000 gallons a day. Lockney's was 405,000.

"Floydada's current allotment is 308,000 gallons a day, and Lockney's is 162,000.

"Floydada pays approximately $30,000 a month for 40% of the original allotment. The cost averages out to over $3.00 per 1,000. If we were getting our full allotment we would pay approximately $1.33.

"The water treatment plant at Lake Mackenzie no longer meets new EPA qualifications and we are probably going to have to spend about 2 million dollars to upgrade the system.

"We might consider not spending the money on updating a system that is running out of water. We think we could restart it cheaper, with the improvements, after it runs out of water. We might start using all of our allotment (without the 40% restriction), and then when it runs dry we use our wells.

"Then when it fills back up we can fix it and use it again."

Brown also said the cities will pursue studies on how to move water from city to city.

Defensive Stand Gets Longhorns Overtime Win

By Coach Edwards

The Lockney-Abernathy game kept the fans on the edge of their seats until the final seconds waiting to see if their team, that was picked to finish fifth in the district, could knock off the defending district champion, Abernathy. The Lockney Longhorns were able to boast a bit after defeating the Antelopes in the District 5-2A opener 21-20 in overtime.

The Longhorns were able to overcome a very talented Jared Brock who rushed 37 times for 243 yards and scored two touchdowns and also a hot handed quarterback, Ryan Bufe, who completed passes when necessary to keep a drive alive.

The Longhorns countered the Antelopes with some of their own weapons. The ground game was crucial for Lockney. Sophomore Mark Ford continued his running attack rushing for 126 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns. But when Abernathy thought they had Ford stopped, junior Michael Rodriguez would pound the Antelopes with brutal blocks and 73 yards rushing of his own plus a touchdown.

The defense would stand to the challenge as well cutting the Antelopes total yardage in half in the second half.

"It was a total team effort in this exuberant win for us," Coach Joe Robertson said. "The big man upstairs was definitely watching over us tonight."

It did not take Abernathy long to score the game's first points. On their first possession it took just six plays for the Antelopes to get into the end zone. With 9:14 remaining in the first quarter, Jared Brock would score on a 15 yard touchdown run. What would end up being an important extra-point attempt, Abernathy would muff the deep snap as they tried to desperately pass it for the conversion which was broken up by R.J. Cruz making the score 6-0.

The Longhorns began their first drive of the game from their own 22 yard line. Seventeen plays and 9:18 later, Mark Ford raced into the end zone for a two yard touchdown. Jesus Rios' extra-point was wide left knotting the score at 6-6 with 11:54 remaining in the second quarter.

Abernathy would drive the ball down to the Longhorns 22 yard line on their next possession but would turn it over when senior Ben Sherman intercepted a Ryan Bufe pass in the end zone for a touchback. The Longhorns would go three and out and had to punt into the wind which gave Abernathy good field position starting at their own 40 yard line.

On the first play of this drive, Brock broke through the Longhorns defense and headed for the end zone which seemed to be an apparent touchdown. But superb hustle by defensive tackle Jesus Rios slowed down Brock at the one yard line which allowed defensive back Cody Bailey to strip the ball away from Brock and was recovered by Ben Sherman in the end zone for another Lockney touchback.

"Jesus ran about sixty yards to catch Brock just before he crossed the goal line," Coach Robertson said. "That is a perfect example of how bad our kids want to win and how they will not quit to get that win."

The Longhorns would have to give the ball back to Abernathy on downs but their defense would rise to the occassion once again. Abernathy's Ryan Bufe had a wide open receiver on a slant pattern, but from nowhere, sophomore safety Hagan Johnson came up with the interception setting up a golden opportunity for the Longhorns to score before the first half ended.

Seven plays later, Michael Rodriguez powered his way behind a determined offensive line for a two yard touchdown. Mark Ford would cross the goal line to complete the two-point conversion making the score 14-6 to end the first half of play.

In the third quarter, the Longhorns had a couple of opportunities to pull away from the Antelopes. Lockney had a 63 yard punt return called back on a penalty and a dropped pass by a receiver which got behind all of Abernathy's defenders.

However, the Longhorns remained tough defensively with their halftime adjustments.

Trailing 14-6 with 4:00 remaining in the game, the Antelopes began their final scoring drive from their own 22 yard line. Abernathy would face adversity several times during this drive but met it head on. The Antelopes had a fourth down and short and converted on a pass completion. They also found themselves in a third down and long and completed a pass for the first down. And finally on their 15th play of the drive with a fourth and goal situation on the three yard line, Bufe found Josh Lopez in the back of the end zone for the touchdown pass. The Antelopes still trailed and had to go for the two point conversion. Abernathy ran a sweep pass where tailback Jared Brock connected with his fullback Jace Harkey for the two-point conversion tieing the game at 14-14 with 2:59 remaining in the game.

The Longhorns had to punt on their next possession giving the Antelopes one more chance. They were able to get to the Lockney 35 yard line and attempt a "hail marry" pass as time expired but was well defended by Matt McPherson.

Lockney began its overtime possession at the Abernathy 25 yard line. It took the Horns only four plays for Mark Ford to get into the end zone from seven yards out. Rios extra-point was good giving the them the lead once again 21-14.

On Abernathy's overtime possession, the Longhorns defense would come across their biggest battle of the year. On the Antelopes first play, they would complete a pass that would also end on a late hit violation. Abernathy had the ball first and goal at the five yard line. Because of a questionable third down pass interference call, it took Abernathy seven plays to finally find the end zone. Brock scored on a two yard run. Abernathy decided to try and win the game by going for the two-point conversion rather than kicking the one-point conversion. Bufe rolled out to his left and threw back across his body to his receiver. But 6'8'' Landon Schumacher batted the ball to the ground to give the Longhorns the sure victory 21-20.

"We never gave up," Roberston exclaimed. "We just never gave up! We knew we had to win this one to give ourselves some confidence throughout district play and a chance to hopefully get into the playoffs."

Mark Ford led Lockney with 14 tackles. Rance Schumacher, Todd Cotham, Tod Duncan and R.J. Cruz each had seven tackles. The Longhorns improved their record to 5-1(1-0) and will travel to Hale Center(1-5, 0-1) on Friday night. The Owls lost to Olton 20-14.


Winds Rally To Defeat Friona 19-9

By Bill Gray

The Floydada Whirlwinds spotted Friona 9 first-quarter points before scoring 19 unanswered points to pull out a district-opening victory over the favored Chieftains at Friona last Friday.

The win puts Floydada tied at the top with Lockney and Olton after the first week of District 5-2A action, and improves the Whirlwinds' overall record to 5-1 for the season.

The Chieftains fell to 4-2 for the year, but not after they gave Floydada all it could handle, especially early in the contest.

Unlike last year's close 6-0 Friona victory, the Chieftains took early control and threatened to run away with the game. Friona forced the Whirlwinds into poor field position by downing a punt at the Floydada 1-yard line. The Whirlwinds were unable to generate any offense and Tyler Helms was tackled in the end zone for an early Friona safety. Following the free kick, the Chieftains wasted little time in putting points on the board again for a 9-0 lead. Friona quarterback Brock Field capped a 7-play scoring drive with a 32-yard touchdown toss to Adam Bandy.

A fierce Floydada rush forced a 7-yard Chieftain punt early in the second period. It was the turning point of the ball game for Floydada. Four plays after taking over at the Friona 31-yard line, Helms hit Brady Rainwater with a 19-yard scoring aerial. However, the conversion was missed as Helms was wide on his kick-attempt (his first miss of the 2002 campaign). Helms also suffered his first two interceptions of the year - both by Friona's Adam Bandy.

Following the ensuing kickoff, the Chieftains roared back with a time-consuming drive, but on a fourth-down attempt from the Floydada 15-yard line, Whirlwind Jacob Morales broke through to spill quarterback Brock Field for a 3-yard loss - thus denying the Chieftains a key first down in the waning minutes of the second quarter. Following intermission, it was all Floydada.

According to Tyler Helms, "At halftime tonight, we just looked at each other and knew we had put too much work into it to let this game get away from us. Last year we would have probably folded after all the things that happened there early. We just put our mind to it, and went back out and everything seemed to click. The offensive line was just awesome tonight.

I thought Chase (Chase Mitchell, center) had one of his best games ever. He was great and so was Andrew (Arvizu)." Last year, it was Andrew Arvizu who was ruled about a foot short on what would have been the winning touchdown. Helms said, "We just weren't going to let it come down to that again." Andrew led all rushers this time around with 79 yards in 11 attempts.

A 25-yard "dump" pass from Helms to Chris Wickware brought about a 3rd-down conversion during Floydada's initial possession of the second half. The methodical, time-consuming drive covered 76 yards, with Helms adding the go-ahead touchdown from a yard out to give the Whirlwinds a 12-9 lead with 4:02 remaining in the third stanza. Floydada coach Lee Hurt credited the turnaround in the second half to the Whirlwinds' offensive line.

"They did a super job," Hurt said. "We adjusted some of our blocking schemes at the half and our kids just kind of took total control of things."

Coach Hurt added, "Our kids showed their true character tonight. You've got to give Friona credit there early on..they made some big plays and capitalized on our early mistakes. It was a big game for us against a team that was picked as a contender for the district title and a playoff spot. They have some great athletes, but so do we!"

The coach said, "I am just so very proud of our kids. You know...going to their house and spotting a good team like that 9 points right off the bat...you've really got to hand it to our kids to come back and dominate the way they did. This was a very important win for us...hopefully the first of five steps toward that gold ball (a district championship)." Floydada's defense also bottled up Friona's vaunted rushing game, limiting the Chieftains to 116 yards. Nathan Haile became Friona's career rushing yardage leader during the game, but Floydada's defense held the talented senior to only 37 yards on 15 carries and no touchdowns.

Floydada's Bryce Bowley led all defenders with 13 tackles. Jacob Morales was a close second with 11 stops. Before going out early in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury, Morgan Tijerina had 9 tackles. Eduardo Godoy led all Friona defenders with 10 tackles. In addition to his workhorse efforts on offense, Nathan Haile added 9 stops for the Chieftains.

Tijerina re-injured his right shoulder early in the fourth quarter, and his status for next week is uncertain at this time. He has been a force all year on defense, and has been especially active on the special teams where he was always near or at the tackle on kickoffs.

Friona's Adam Bandy, seeing his first action this season after a knee injury, intercepted two passes and was on the receiving end of the 32-yard pass from Brock Field for the Chieftains' only touchdown. Field finished 8-of-13 for 121 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Floydada countered with balance - mostly on the ground for 212 yards. In addition to Arvizu's 79 yards rushing, Dustin Covington added 63 yards on 11 carries. Helms carried 9 times for 27 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Gerald Henderson was 6 for 25. Chris Wickware added 18 yards on 8 carries. The Whirlwinds had no turnovers due to fumbles - a vast improvement over the previous several outings.

One of Floydada's biggest plays on defense was a quarterback sack (for a 10-yard loss) by Justin Martinez on the fourth play of the final period. Even though the Chieftains completed a pass on the next play, the yardage lost on the sack forced Friona into a punting situation that gave Floydada the opportunity to put the game away in the fourth quarter. The Whirlwinds took over five minutes off the clock with a 72-yard, 12-play drive that secured the victory. Helms hit Jeremy Duran with a pass for a key third-down conversion and Arvizu led the clinching drive with 34 yards in 4 carries. Helms capped the winning drive with a 1-yard sneak and added the extra point. With Floydada controlling the ball in the game's final moments, Arvizu added an exclamation point to the victory with a 29-yard burst on a critical 3rd-down conversion.

"We were driving on the last drive when we got the ball back and the running play that sealed it was 7-lead by Andrew right up the gut, right at them...the same exact play as last year. That's actually what allowed us to continue running out the clock to put us over that hump where we knew we had the game (victory)...moving the chains and getting first downs," commented Tyler Helms. Yes, it was the same play as last year...except with a far different outcome.

The Chieftains try to rebound this week as they travel to Olton. The Mustangs surprised a lot of people last week, especially the Hale Center Owls. Olton's 20-14 upset of Hale Center puts the Mustangs into a 3-way tie for the district lead. The Whirlwinds return to the friendly confines of Wester Field where they will entertain always-tough Abernathy. The Antelopes dropped a one-point loss to Lockney in overtime and will be fighting for district survival this week. Abernathy has dominated Floydada the past several years, so the Whirlwinds are out to set some matters straight. And, it is the second step on that rugged path to that gold ball.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

I am so proud to live in Floyd County. It was such a wonderful sight to see all of Floyd County come together as a whole for the ground breaking ceremony of the Veteran's monument.

What started out as a small $20,000,00 4-H project for Skyler Cornelius and his mother Julianne grew into over a $100,000.00 project. When Skyler presented his project all of Floyd County started volunteering their help. So many volunteers worked getting the veteran's names and verifying their eligibility. The volunteers were headed up by Janet Milam at the Floyd County Historical Museum. Accepting the names and donations became a really big job. You see what can be done when Floyd County Citizens come together. The Unity Center at Muncy proves what this county can do and now the Veteran's Monument will be here for all to enjoy.

Thank you Floyd County for being my county.

Vera Jo Bybee

Buffalo Grass Chapter

Daughters of the

American Revolution

Division 1 Chairman


Dear Alice,

I would like to thank the many people that joined us for the ground breaking ceremony for the veterans memorial on the Floyd County Courthouse Lawn. The memorial is a vision that will soon be a reality thanks to so many citizens of Floyd County.

Because of so many individuals that have come together as a team, we have reached our first milestone on this long road to seeing our vision complete.

It is almost impossible to thank everyone, but when the project is completed I am going to try.

The hours of volunteer effort, by so many, is immeasurable and priceless.

The project was not only made possible by volunteers time, but by 858 contributors so far. We are $1,400 away from our goal.

But our project is not finished. There is one final step. On November 11, 2002, the dedication ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m.

On behalf of the Junior and Adult Committees, I would like to extend a very special invitation to all of our neighbors and fellow Americans to join us on this very special day.

Sincerely,

Skyler Cornelius


Dear Editor

My family and I received a threat this weekend--take down your Mexican flag or else! We will not be taking down our Mexican flag.

My husband has served in the military for 14 years and we have always participated in observing "National Hispanic Heritage Month". I see no good reason why just because we have moved to Lockney that we should have to stop observing this month.

Yes we are Americans and proud of it but reality is that when our family tree gets drawn our roots go back to Mexico and our children need to know that.

My family has lived in Lockney since before 1962 and had never been threatened. I am still the same person as before yet because I am choosing to teach my children our heritage and choose to fly the Mexican flag now I am being threatened. We are not flying our flag to make anyone mad. We are flying our flag as a symbol of what we are and our heritage.

I feel that if anyone has a problem with that don't be a coward and send us a message through a chain of people stand up and let us know face to face.

We are not looking for trouble. We just want to live our lives in peace with the rest of our family as we have done for the past 40 years.
