Stained glass windows illuminate the Parlor Chapel in Floydada's First Baptist Church. The room is part of the addition built after a fire destroyed the Sunday school building and damaged the sanctuary in March 2000.

 

FBC Rebuilding Almost Done

Members Look Forward to Meeting Together

 

Almost three years of planning, construction and prayer have replaced a pile of ruble and ashes that was once part of Floydada's First Baptist Church with a new state-of-the-art facility.

Carpeting, fixtures, millwork and a few touch-ups are all that remain to be completed; and as work begins to wrap-up, the church is finally seeing what their patience and hard work produced.

"I'm proud of what our people have done," Pastor Anthony Sisemore said. "I am proud of what God has done."

Delays have pushed the completion date back many times during construction, but the church plans to dedicate the addition on March 9&emdash;three days short of the third anniversary of the fire that destroyed the Sunday school building and damaged the sanctuary in 2000.

"Everyone is anxiously anticipating being back together," Sisemore said. "We are all ready to be back home."

From the outside, hints of the old building can be seen in the new construction. A similar facade reminds passersby of the old building, but what lies inside is far different.

The addition's 40,000 square feet of space is less than the original building, but Sisemore believes the smaller space will actually prove to serve the church better.

"The major difference is functionality," Sisemore said. "The old building was good, but just not as useable. Now we can have everyone closer together."

Nineteen classrooms for adults and youth are housed in the basement of the new addition. Additional classrooms for elementary children and older members are on the main floor.

Currently, the church meets in seven different locations for Sunday school, something that Sisemore, and the church, will be happy to see end.

"It hasn't been easy to be stretched across town for Sunday school," Sisemore said. "When a church is spread out, it hurts."

An important part of the addition is the fellowship center, a room that will seat 396 and double as a gymnasium.

"The whole idea of this room is centered on fellowship," Sisemore said.

The church is looking forward to putting the fellowship center, which includes a nearby commercial kitchen, to good use.

"It is difficult to be separated," Sisemore said. "It will be so good to be all back together and enjoying our fellowship with one another."

Central to the church's vision for the new addition was the 10,000 volume library in the center of the building. Sisemore hopes the library will be used by the church and the community as a tool for Christian education.

"If people are not educated, their faith won't grow," he said.

The addition is complete with many modern features. Classrooms have video drops, and the building is networked for computer usage and broadband Internet access throughout. The building is fully handicap accessible, including an elevator to help people get to the basement classrooms. It is equipped with a fire sprinkler system and both visual and audible fire alarms.

"We tried to be visionary, but not wasteful," Sisemore said. "We planned for tomorrow."

While the building and its features will be enjoyed, the church is mostly looking forward to just being together.

"It will be a relief," Sisemore said. "It will be a homecoming in a sense."

Sisemore believes the church has learned many lessons and gained a new outlook from their experience.

"The most valuable lesson is the fact that God is in control and no matter what we face, we can depend on him," he said. "God gives us strength, and he will get us through. In a world where so many people ask 'Where's God?,' it is good to see him at work."

Year in Review

Looking Back on 2002 in Floyd County

As in year's past Floyd County's big news, in 2002, was accomplished by the communities coming together to accomplish goals.

The year long Veterans Memorial Project culminated with a dedication service on November 11. The emotional service was attended by crowds estimated at over 3,000.

The project was started by 4-H'er Skyler Cornelius, as part of his Citizenship Project. Assisted by his mother, Julianne, and a junior board and adult board, the project took off with overwhelming support from the community and veterans and their families living all over the United States.

It was first believed the memorial would contain 800 names and would cost $20,000 for 4 panels. However the project grew quickly and at about the same time the $20,000 was raised, Skyler realized it was going to take a lot more money, and more panels to add all the names being submitted for the wall.

To the credit of Floyd County residents, who were eager to pay tribute to their veterans, the money continued to come in at a fast pace and the final goal of $91,000, for 10 panels and 4,036 names was raised in time for the dedication.

One hundred and sixty volunteers and 873 contributors made the memorial a reality, and not one veteran had to pay to have his name engraved on the memorial.

Skyler praised the community for their efforts and the community praised Skyler for his leadership, patriotism, and vision. Stumbling blocks were hurdled by everyone who encountered them and the project moved on.

Skyler and Julianne also gave credit to God for the project being completed in a year, and the citizens in Floyd County saw once again what can happen when they join forces to make dreams come true.

Also, as in years past, producers were hit with devastating storms during 2002. June 4, a storm stripped cotton, destroyed corn fields, and damaged homes and businesses with large hail and driving winds. Insurance carriers were still handling claims from a May 10th storm when this June storm hit.

Although weather cut the production of cotton by approximately 30%, the fields being stripped were producing up to 2 1/2 bales an acre on irrigated land. Two weeks of wet weather in November slowed the stripping down and gins were still running the week of Christmas.

Highlights of Floyd County news as covered in The Hesperian Beacon follows:

JANUARY

In January, Floyd County's annual stock shows were once again underway, and candidates were signing up for public office. Some incumbents faced challenges.

Kelly Dunbar, of Lockney, announced her intentions to run against County Attorney Lex Herrington in the democratic primary.

County Judge Bill Hardin faced a challenge in the Democrat primary by Gary Carthel.

Commissioner Lennie Gilroy will be opposed in the general election by Lindan Morris.

County Treasurer Mary Shurbet announced she would not run again. This brought two contenders in the Democrat primary--Jeannie Sanchez and Elva Martinez. On the Republican side, Loretta Nutt and Christina Muse signed up.

In the County Stock Show, grand champions were shown by: Segayle Foster, heifers; Eddie Lee Fortenberry, lambs; Mandi Wood, steers; Kayla Kelley, gilt; and Brady Ragland, barrow.

The Regional Quarterfinal Champ Lady Winds continued in the state championship playoffs. The race ended at Regional competition against Seagraves, 55-43.

Hernandez, set four regional records and earned the right to advance to State. Records were set with a squat of 715 pounds, a bench press of 395 pounds, a dead lift of 600 pounds and total weight of 1710 pounds.

Hernandez then went on to bring home a gold medal from the State Championship meet. He set a personal record with a squat of 720 pounds, and tied his personal best with a bench press of 325 pounds.

In the Primary elections races:

Judge Bill Hardin beat challenger Gary Carthel, 552 votes to 501 votes. Incumbent County Attorney Lex Herrington beat Kelly Dunbar, 635-340. Elva Martinez won the democrat primary race for County Treasurer, with total votes of 474 Jeannie Sanchez, 327 votes.

Loretta Nutt won the Republican Primary race with 149 votes to Edwina Muse's total of 23. Nutt would drop out of the race before the election and Elva Martinez then ran unopposed.

In March the First Christian Church in Floydada announced it would discontinue worship services. It has been holding church services for 96 years.

Michael DeLeon was appointed to serve as Lockney Councilman to fill the vacated seat of Roger Stapp. Stapp had assumed the duties of Mayor after the resignation of Gary Marr.

At Lockney High School, Superintendent Raymond Lusk proudly presented Lon C. Colvin with his 1946 high school diploma. Colvin was drafted in 1944 when he was a junior at Lockney High School and was unable to finish school A Senate Bill passed in 2001 allows a school district to issue a high school diploma to a person honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces, if they were scheduled to graduate from high school and had to leave the service for WWII.

The diploma carried the signatures of the 1944 Superintendent H.P. Clemons; principal Mrs. Henry Hodel; Board President Hugh Carroll; and board secretary Edgar Hayes.

Also in this issue it was announced that the names for the wall had grown so large that the project had doubled. The project started with 6 panels and now 10 panels will be needed. The 2,000 name, $60,000 project was now almost 4,000 names and $90,000.

However, enthusiasm has not waned and the money is still coming in for the project.

This issue also told of Melanie Huggins bringing home a gold medal with her flute solo at State Competition.

The June 13th edition told of a June 4 storm that traveled through Floyd County and devastated crops. Cotton was stripped, corn fields were destroyed, and homes and businesses suffered wind and hail damage.

At 4:30 p.m., winds were clocked at 83 mph, and tornado sirens warned residents to seek shelter. A second storm at 6:30 p.m. brought larger and more damaging hail. The storm tracked southeast through the county taking out 26 large transmission poles and 30 smaller distribution poles in it's path. Transmission poles broke like match sticks in the Sandhill and Harmony communities.

A Happy Union farmer reported 10 inches of rain and a loss of all crops. An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 acres of cotton was lost.

JULY

This ruling opened the door for Lockney ISD to reimplement their drug testing policy. LISD had been forced to stop drug testing after a lower court ruled in March of 2001, that their drug testing policy was unconstitutional.

LISD chose not to continue the court battle and had discontinued drug testing.

However, Tecumseh Oklahoma ISD carried their drug testing policy (similar to LISDs) all the way to the Supreme Court.

July 7, a methamphetamine operation in Floyd County was closed down after a resident called the Sheriff's Department.

The 2001 Redistricting process rearranged Senate District 28 (which includes Floyd County), and gave the County a new Senator--Senator Robert Duncan.

August 17 Lockney celebrated their annual Old Fashioned Saturday.

The August 22 paper featured a story on the work of Game Warden Mark Collins working to get permission from area farmers and ranchers to add their property to the list of "public hunting" areas.

September 26 a nine year old Lockney boy fought off an unidentified man, in what could have been an abduction attempt. The incident took place in the front courtyard of W.J. Mangold Memorial Hospital. A man grabbed the boy from behind and lifted him off the ground. The youngster kicked the man until he was released.

OCTOBER

Floydada city workers stayed busy through October getting the site ready for the November 11 Veteran's Memorial dedication. According to Julianne Cornelius, the City of Floydada, donated approximately $10,000 worth of work on the project.

October 2nd was the ground breaking ceremony for the Memorial. The youth board and adult board of the Memorial Project, and veterans in attendance, used army trench shovels to break ground.

October 12, Floydada celebrated their annual Punkin Day.

The first five slabs for the Memorial were erected on October 21, and quickly covered to await the unveiling on November 11. More panels were set within the coming days.

NOVEMBER

A special November 7 edition, featuring pictures of veterans and the names of the veterans which are engraved on the Memorial, was printed and sold out. This issue also featured a story on the memorial dedication plans, and a picture of Monte Williams, president of the Floyd County Historical Museum, giving Skyler Cornelius a check for $5,000. This money allowed the Memorial Board to meet the final goal for the Veteran's Memorial.

The November 5 election returned incumbents to office in Floyd County. District Judge Randy Hollums retained his seat, as did Commissioner of Pct. #2, Lennie Gilroy. State Representative Pete Laney won in Floyd County, as he did in the rest of his district. U.S. Representative Mac Thornberry also carried Floyd County, and won his election.

November 14 was the long awaited Veterans Memorial Dedication in Floydada.

The crowds at the dedication easily numbered 3,000 and were estimated at larger than that by some. Students, alone, numbered over 1,600 in attendance.

The dedication featured the presentation of the colors by an Altus Air Force Base Honor Guard. Speeches by Skyler Cornelius, State Representative and Speaker of the House Pete Laney, and remarks by Major General USAF Robert Dempsey.

Kenny Maines sang the National Anthem and God Bless America and the crowds were awed by a spectacular flyover of T-38's from Sheppard Air Base.

Taps were played by two buglers from Wayland Baptist University. The official ceremony moved quickly so veterans and families could view the Memorial wall.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Dear citizens of Floyd County, what an impressive undertaking for Floyd County! The Veteran's Memorial splendidly pays tribute to those men and women from your county who served our country through military service. My dad's name, W. Brice Allen, is etched forever in stone along with my three uncles' names.

I thank you Floyd County, and thank you Skyler Cornelius for the vision and for the reality of creating this positive, lasting, and deserved contribution to our veterans.

 

Sincerely,

Judy Allen

Corpus Christi


Dear Editor,

May I say I have been deeply moved just reading about this wonderful Memorial. How wonderful it must have been to have been there in person. I call Floydada my home town although I left there in 1943 after graduating form High School.

I have enjoyed going through some of your archives, few names are familiar now where once almost every name in town was known. Such is life. I will keep a close watch on your website from now on as I want the video when it is for sale.

My niece Carrie Thayer Welty told us to pull up your web site and she had to give me your full name - Hesperian-Beacon. Times have changed. I recall the news paper being "The Floyd County Hesperian". I should have my three brothers names on the Memorial; two in WWII and one from the Korean conflict. They are Charles P. Cox, US Navy; Emory H. Cox, US Army; James W. Cox, US Army.

Thank you for your lovely write up and the fine pictures. As a displaced Floydadian, I appreciate what has been done in "My Home Town."

A special big thank you to young Skyler.

Sincerely,

Frances Cox Dilley
