LISD Board Votes to Reinstate Drug Testing Feeling vindicated by a recent Supreme Court decision upholding drug testing in schools, Lockney ISD Trustees voted unanimously, Thursday, September 19, to adopt a drug testing policy for students in extracurricular activities. The policy will be in effect in 3-6 weeks. All students involved in any extracurricular activity must submit to drug testing. Failure to submit will result in the student being banned from extracurricular activities. After an initial test of all extracurricular students, the test will then be administered on a random basis. School Board President Bernie Ford questioned Superintendent Raymond Lusk about the cost of the drug testing. Lusk replied, "If we use the same company as before the price will be the same--$18.00 per student for initial testing and $20.00 each for random testing. We have about 300 students and I am estimating that about 85% are involved in extracurricular activities. After the initial test, only 10% will be randomly tested." Lusk told the board that Lockney's policy is verbatim to the Tecumseh Public School policy, which was ruled constitutional, June 27, by the U.S. Supreme Court. "The attorneys have told us we are on safe ground if we do it this way," said Lusk. "The TASB (Texas Association of School Boards) attorneys feel the same way. In fact TASB is encouraging schools to adopt this policy. The TASB insurance division also said we are covered if there is a lawsuit." When questioned about the possibility of a lawsuit, Lusk said, "The ACLU could always sue, but this ruling is the law of the land. I was told if the ACLU decided to sue it would probably be against a school district that made changes in the policy." "Actually this new policy is a little tougher than our other policy was," said Trustee John Quebe. "The staff is encouraging us on this issue," said Lusk. "They feel a definite need for a policy. They would like the students to have another way to fight peer pressure. It won't hurt us. It can't do anything but help us." "The New York Times recently wrote an article about how schools all over the nation are looking at this Tecumseh policy," continued Lusk. "Schools have been waiting to see what the Supreme Court would decide and now they are in the process of adopting a similar policy or have already adopted it." Athletic Director Joe Robertson addressed the school board and said, "We are excited the policy is getting reinstated. We have good attendance and good attitudes now, but these things slip up on you. I think it will be a good tool for students to fight off peer pressure. We are behind you 100% and we appreciate your tenacity." Lusk said it will take several weeks to get everything in place to start drug testing. "We will be sending letters and consent forms home with the students in 7th-12th grade. We will give them a time-line of at least 3 weeks so they can quit taking any drug they may be taking. "This policy also addresses performance enhancing drugs. Someday we might want to add steroid testing." LISD implemented drug testing in February 2000 and was challenged by a parent, Larry Tannahill, who was represented by the ACLU. The district fought the suit amid intense media scrutiny and eventually lost the battle in the U.S. District Court of Judge Sam Cummings. Because the district's insurance company would not continue to cover the costs, the trustees voted to not pursue the case. However, the Tecumseh, Oklahoma School District did pursue their own similar case all the way to the Supreme Court. The Court ruled in the school district's favor, in June of 2002. Referring to the two years of fighting for the former drug policy, Quebe said, "I'm proud of what we did (by adopting the former policy). We took a lot of hits for our decision." "But I think we got some kids off drugs," said Trustee Jesse Garza. Voting in favor of the new policy were: Trustees John Quebe, Jim Bob Martin, Bernie Ford, Jesse Garza, Mike Ford, and Aaron Wilson. Mike Mathis was late for the meeting and missed the vote, but in the past has voiced his support for a drug testing policy. In other business campus principals reported enrollment rates to the board. High School Principal Jams Poole reported an enrollment of 209 students. Junior High Principal Terry Ellison reported 46 in 6th grade, 71 in 7th grade, and 57 in 8th grade. Elementary Principal Phil Cotham said enrollment had increased to 308 students with 58 in kindergarten.

Winds Defeat Wolverines By Bill Gray The Floydada Whirlwinds spotted Springlake-Earth an early first-quarter touchdown before coming back to defeat the Wolverines 28-19 in non-district football action at Wester Field last Friday. It was Springlake-Earth's first loss of the 2002 grid season, as the Wolverines dropped to 3-1. The Whirlwinds won their third in a row after a narrow opening-night loss to Idalou. Springlake-Earth will host the undefeated Sudan Hornets tomorrow night, while the Whirlwinds will hit the road against the Crosbyton Chiefs of District 5-1A. Crosbyton, like Floydada, is 3-1 for the year, going into its final non-district contest. The Wolverines capitalized on a Floydada turnover by recovering a Whirlwind fumble on the opening kickoff. It took Springlake-Earth's high-powered offense only six plays to cover the 30 yards to the Whirlwind end zone. Floydada's Morgan Tijerina temporarily stalled the visitor's drive by tossing Wolverine quarterback Curt Bills for a 9-yard loss on the Floydada 18-yard line. It would be the first of two quarterback sacks in the game by the Whriwlind defender. On the next play, Bills found Philip Field in the end zone and tossed a 27-yard TD aerial a little more than three minutes into the contest. The Whirlwinds responded with a 12-play, 70-yard scoring drive, with a 10-yard pass from Tyler Helms to Dustin Covington and a 28-yard carry by Chris Wickware moving the chains for key first downs. Coach Lee Hurt said, "That was a great pass by Helms and a good adjustment to his route by Covington...they had good coverage on us and Dustin kind of improvised, and Tyler had the time to find him. "It was just a key play to keep alive our opening scoring drive." Curt Bills returned the ensuing kickoff 63-yards to put Springlake-Earth in good field position as the Wolverines threatened to score again. However, Bill's pass from the Floydada 18-yard line was picked off in the end zone for a touchback by Whirlwind Ross Bennett on the first play of the second quarter. "That was another big play by our defense," said Coach Hurt. "They had the momentum with that 63-yard return and were driving for the score. It was just a big, big play by Ross!" Tyler Helms ignited an 80-yard scoring drive with a nifty 15-yard run off the option, and set up Floydada's next score with a 19-yard pass to Chris Wickware. Covington carried the final four yards and Helms added the conversion kick to put the 'Winds up 14-6 at the 5:59 mark of the second period. There was no long return of Floydada's ensuing kickoff, as Helms boomed the ball deep into the end zone to give the Wolverines possession at their own 20. The Green Storm defense stiffened, and forced a 10-yard punt on fourth down to put Floydada in great shape at Springlake's 31-yard line. The Whirlwinds overcame two penalties to motor down the field in just 6 plays to score on a perfectly-lofted 15-yard pass from Helms to Gerald Henderson, who had slipped behind the Wolverine secondary in the final 1:24 of the first half. Morgan Tijerina put an exclamation point on Floydada's 21-6 lead with a 7-yard sack of Wolverine quarterback Curt Bills on the final play before intermission. Springlake's Colton Glasscock, who had been held to only 19 yards in the first half, spearheaded the Wolverines' scoring drive to open the second half. Glasscock came to Floydada with a 162 yards-per-game average (over 8 yards-per-carry), and was limited to only 72 yards in 18 totes. Curt Bills took a direct snap in punt formation on a fourth-down fake punt and glided untouched 36 yards for the touchdown to cap the drive. The Whirlwinds threatened early in the final stanza, but Helms' 44-yard field goal attempt hooked to the left. A fumble was recovered by Floydada's Bryce Bowley to thwart Springlake's next drive, but Floydada returned the favor by coughing up a fumble to the visitors' Brandon Maddox on first down at mid-field. On Springlake's first snap following the Whirlwind turnover, fullback Wesley Carr rambled for a 51-yard TD. Angel Alvarez kicked the point-after to pull the Wolverines to within two at 21-19 midway through the fourth quarter. Gerald Henderson brought the Floydada faithful to their feet as he took the ensuing kickoff at the Whirlwind 10-yard line and blazed to a spectacular 90-yard return for a touchdown. Helms added his fourth extra point of the night for the final margin of victory. Tyler is now 14-for-14 in extra-point attempts for the season. Coach Hurt commented, "That 90-yard return for a score by Gerald was probably the biggest play of the game...he had fumbled on the opening kickoff and kind of made up for that in a big way. We had great blocking and he hit a little crease and just turned on the speed down the sideline. We were a little down after their score brought them to within two, and that long TD by Henderson kind of sealed the game for us." Time was running out, but there was still one more play by Floydada that deserves mentioning. Following a Springlake fumble, recovered by Jeremy Duran, the Whirlwinds were holding possession to run out the final minutes. On fourth down from the Wolverine 27-yard line, Helms' perfect aerial glanced off Chris Wickware's hands and into the arms of a very-alert Ross Bennett for a 22-yard completion at Springlake's 5-yard line. The 'Winds were denied another score as Wesley Carr recovered Floydada's third fumble in the final two minutes of play. Coach Lee Hurt commented, "I am really proud of our kids. We told them that going into the game they (Springlake-Earth) had a great football team and would play hard. Even though we had the big lead at halftime, we knew they would give us four quarters of their best. Those guys never quit, and my hat is off to them. But, our kids never quit either. Their offense takes such big splits and that spread out our defense...we just played our technique and our guys did a great job in containing (Colton) Glasscock. It was just a great win for us!" The coach added, "It will be Crosbyton's Homecoming (tomorrow night's game), and we know they'll be tough. They've been pointing to this game all year. We know it will take a great effort to beat those guys, but I know that we'll be up for the challange." Kickoff is set for 7:30 tomorrow night at Crosbyton. Longhorns Roll Over Morton By: Coach Edwards The Lockney Longhorns found their way back to the winning ways as they defeated the Morton Indians 24-9. The Longhorns offense remained patient and used its strength and speed to break away for their scoring opportunities. And their stingy defense left everything on the field as they held Morton's high-powered offense to only nine points and three scoreless quarters. "This win will definitely be a stepping stone headed in the direction that we want our team to go," Coach Joe Robertson said. "Our kids rose to the occasion and made sure we did the right things to get the win." Lockney started the game the way they like to. The defense stopped Morton on its first drive and drove the ball down the field eating up most of the first quarter. Jesus Rios connected on a 37 yard field goal for the game's first points with 3:21 remaining in the first quarter. Once again the Longhorns defense put a stop to Morton's offense and got the ball back early in the second quarter. The Longhorns marched down the field and scored for the second time as Mark Ford found his way into the end zone from 10 yards out. Rios' extra-point was good making the score 10-0 with 8:28 left in the second quarter. But the Indians did not waste any time. With a few completed passes and a couple of long runs by Calvin Johnson, he connected with Augie Sabala on a 14 yard touchdown reception. The extra-point was no good but closed the gap to 10-6 with 5:15 remaining in the first half. The Indians defense stopped the Longhorns and got the ball back with enough time to drive it deep into Longhorn territory. Morton had a first and goal at the Longhorns nine yard line, but Lockney's defense met the challenge head on. Morton had to settle for a 27 yard field goal by Jose Rivera making the score 10-9 as the half ended. "Keeping them out of the end zone just before half was a big boost for our defense," Defensive Coordinator Brannon Rodgers said. "The momentum changed to our side and it showed in the second half." Offensively both teams struggled early in the second half. Penalties would stop Lockney drives and the Longhorn defense stifled the Indians. But with :59 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Michael Rodriquez broke to the outside for a 40 yard touchdown run. Rios' kick was good increasing the Longhorns lead to 17-8. In the fourth quarter, Lockney moved the ball down field controlling the clock. Once again, Mark Ford found the end zone from 61 yards out. Rios' kick was good making the final score 24-9. I couldn't have asked for a better effort from our young men, Coach Robertson said. "Playing and beating a caliber team like Morton will prepare us for district play." Mark Ford led the team in rushing with 153 yards on 22 carries and two touchdowns. Michael Rodriquez also had an outstanding game rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown. R.J. Cruz also had an interception. The Longhorns (3-1) will play host to Tulia (0-3) this Friday night at 7:30 p.m.

Dear Editor: In my opinion it is a disgrace to bring Bobby Knight to this community to have him speak about sports. In my opinion it was a disgrace for Tech to hire him. If a man uses the word "damn" as a curse for a person, place, or thing, he is blaspheming the name of God because he is putting himself on equality with God. A man or woman does not have the power to condemn anything to the fires of hell. God alone has the power to do that. It takes profanity far more atrocious than the word "damn" to be censored from current television and radio. When Lubbock television got word that Bobby Knight might be coming to Lubbock, a number of times we were shown the same clip of a chair being thrown across the gym floor in a fit of rage. We also saw a clip where his language was bleeped from an interview. It takes a great deal of irreverence or lack of inhibition to use that kind of language before a television camera. There are three Scriptures that have a bearing on this situation. "A good name is to be more desired than great riches, favor is better than silver and gold." (Proverbs 22:l NASB) "For what will a man be profited if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?" (Matthew 16:26, NASB) "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people." (Proverbs 14:34, NASB) I am for any man who is willing to make a turn around for the better (repentance). However, it takes time to build a good reputation. If I am wrong then show me the evidence of the turn around. I will say again, I am for any man who wants to do what is right. What is it that we really worship - God or sports? Francis Montandon, IV

By Ken Towery It is somewhat unusual for a younger member of the House of Representatives to make a name for himself on the national level by working hard and keeping his nose clean, but that's what has happened with our own Mac Thornberry. Usually, about the only way for somewhat "without seniority" to make a mark on the national scene is to engage in erratic behavior. Fortunately, every once in a while someone comes along to prove that erratic behavior is not necessarily the only way to go when seeking to represent one's constituents. Judging from the favorable national attention accorded Thornberry of late, his fellow House colleagues appreciate someone who has both ideas and the persistence necessary to put those ideas in place. Thornberry was one of the first to call attention to the deplorable state of our national intelligence. He suggested that something should be done to better coordinate the nation's intelligence and law enforcement apparatuses, even going so far as to suggest something akin to the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to bring order out of the chaos. At first, the president dragged his feet, perhaps fearing that in the process his own Administration might suffer some setbacks and embarrassment. Somewhere along the line, possibly because of the persistence of people like Thornberry, the President saw the light and changed his mind. He came on board, endorsed the idea, and proposed the Department of Homeland Security which then passed the House and awaits action in the Senate. The Senate, of course, is now controlled by Democrats who are not inclined to give the president what he wants on just about anything, so we have no idea if they will go along with the House, or even if they will seriously consider the proposed bill at all. While a great deal of the argument may well be over extraneous issues, the real issue, we think, is apt to be over whether the Senate can tailor a bill that suits the AFL-CIO as well as the sentiments of the House. Organized labor wields tremendous clout among national Democrats, and they have voiced their concerns over how much freedom the President will have in structuring the new Department, and how much sway organized labor will have with the Department's employees. At any rate, and completely aside from the bill's fate, we have seen the value of being represented in Congress by someone with honesty and tenacity. For a while, during the recent re-districting process, we had feared we would lose Thornberry. His (our) District, stretched all the way from part of Lubbock County to north of Dallas. The District had lost population, and changes had to be made. Fortunately, however, those changes were made elsewhere. In the end, Thornberry lost the area north of Dallas and East Lubbock, and picked up all of Amarillo, and kept Floyd County. For another 10 years we can rest easy in the knowledge that we are represented in Congress by someone of honesty and integrity, not to mention intelligence and persistency. Our only worry, now, is that the President might pick Mac to head up the new Department of Homeland Security. We hope not, for we would hate to lose him as our Representative. A good man is hard to find, in Congress or anywhere else.
