My name is Joe Edd Boaz, the elected District Attorney of Jones and Shackelford Counties. I have served this District for 8 years. It has been my pleasure.

We have tried many cases over the years. We lose some, win most. But my job is about seeking that justice is done, not winning or losing. When the jury returns their verdict, that is the final word. it has been my pleasure to serve these communities.

Special thanks go out to those individuals who show up for jury duty and end up serving on the jury. These people are a collective of wisdom and justice. I thank every Grand Juror and every Petit Juror. Believe me, these 12 persons are more intelligent than any one District Attorney. To every jury I say thank you for your dedication to justice and the rule of law. Without them I am powerless. They are consistently loyal to their duty as jurors. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your support.

ROTARY CLUB NEWS Stamford Health Care System recently hired William (Dee) Haddock from Marble Falls as the Interim Administrator for the facility. This includes Stamford Family Health Center, Stamford Diagnostic Services and Country Elegance. Haddock was recommended by Brad Holland, President of the Hendrick Health System, and he brings a wealth of knowledge with over 40 years of experience in hospital administration. He talked to the Club about rural health care in general and what services we should be able to provide in Stamford. Currently Stamford has two PA’s to try and take care of the medical needs of our community. With Obama care, so many restrictions have been put on rural hospitals and it is difficult to make them cash flow. He encouraged us to insist that our residents use the local facility as much as possible in order to meet the minimum requirements and keep the facility open under present regulations.

Voting on Constitutional Amendments in November

BY KAY SPEARS For as long as we can remember ballots or votes were cast at a voting or polling place assigned to the precinct you lived in.

Jones County has been selected this election by the Texas Secretary of State to be one of four counties to try the continuous vote center method or Countywide Polling Place (CWPP).

This ongoing process includes first being approved to participate as a CWPP in an election.

After the election and if the county is considered “successful”, the county is put on a list to continue for residents to vote at any polling place in that county in following elections. LeeAnn Jennings, County Clerk for Jones County, stated she will need to submit additional

paperwork by December 5, 2019 to be approved to have the vote centers after this November election.

This program will allow Jones County voters to vote at any polling place in Jones County, Texas. The polling places will need to have internet access and electronic voting machines, which have been in use since 2005. The following locations will be polling places: Stamford High School Auditorium, Anson Church of Christ, Hamlin High School Gym, Lueders City Hall, Ft. Phantom Baptist Church, Hodges Baptist Church and Hawley Church of Christ.

Jennings stated, “It’s pretty straight forward since it allows the voter to go to any one instead of a designated one.”

This program will be cost effective and use fewer election workers. If a

location does not have internet access, internet hot spots will be used. Usually there are four polling places open for a Constitutional Amendment Election, but there will be more open this November.

There are 10 Constitutional Amendments on the ballot this year, no people.

To acquaint voters the amendments, they have been put on several Facebook pages: Jones County Tax Assessor/ Collector and Voter Registration and The New Stamford American.

The CWPP approach will make it much easier now that we can vote at any of the above locations. Jennings said at the last Constitutional Amendments Election there were only about 400 people who voted. Voting is where we can make our voices

heard. You may not think your one vote matters, but it does.

The last day to register to vote was October 7th. Early voting begins October 21st and ends on November 1st.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 5, 2019. Bring a picture ID. If you do or don’t like the way the country is run, VOTE!

Our community sadly lost a pillar on Tuesday, October 1, 2019, when Mr. Roger B. Clark passed into the beautiful gardens of heaven to meet his Master face to face. He was 70.

Roger was born August 25, 1949 in Fort Worth, Texas to Elmer and Marie (Bettis) Clark. Educated at Paschal High School graduating in 1968 and Texas Wesleyan College completing his studies in 1975, he was gifted with the ability to work with numbers which led him to his career as a CPA. Roger married the love of his life, Sandra Holt on May 8, 1981 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Clarks moved to Stamford in the same year, establishing Clark & Cobb, P.C. serving the community and surrounding area for 36 years.

His contributions to the lives of many include: the Texas Guard from 1969-1975, Rotary Club 1982-2018, Sertoma, serving as president in 1980, serving on the boards of the Stamford Economic Development, Stamford Memorial Hospital, First Bank Texas, Texas Cowboy Reunion. Roger was also civically honored as Stamford Man of the Year. One of his most meaningful honors came in 1985 when Governor Bill Clements named him to the Texas State Board of Accountants.

Anyone who met Roger would never forget his infectious laughter, dry witty sense of humor and his passion for his non-work activities: Texas Master Naturalist and Quail Masters, which earned him the name of “Mr. Quail”. Roger, in his own right, was a naturalist. He enjoyed the beauty and simplicity of the earth and communing with God in nature while spending time at his ranch near Stamford or checking crops on the farms in Haskell County.

His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his wife of 38 ½ years, Sandra Clark of the home; daughter, Jayel Taylor (Danny); 2 sons: Jay Clark (Carolyn) and Eric Clark; grandchildren: Emilie Clark, Gracie Clark, Andrew Clark, Elizabeth Clark, Chris Wolsch (Farryn), Jestin Clark; great grandchildren: Lainey Clark, Eric Clark, Braelynn Wolsch and Khloe Wolsch; sister Patricia Lasater; and a host of other family and friends.

Family and friends celebrated Roger’s life during funeral services at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at the Texas Cowboy Reunion Pavilion US-277, Stamford, TX with Chaplin Christopher Hale officiating. Burial followed in Highland Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Tankersley Funeral Home.

Serving as pallbearers will be Danny Taylor, Chris Wolsch, Ken Roberson, Danny Duggan, Kevin Pritchard and Don Cobb. Honorary pallbearers will be Raymond Medford and Kenneth Hansen.

Memorials may be made to Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch, 1262 US-180, Rotan, TX, 79546, or a charity of your choice.

Abbott Puts Bush In Charge Of Disaster Mitigation Effort

A plan is afoot for largescale, regional projects to improve the state’s resilience to hurricanes and other natural disasters, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Oct. 4.

Abbott tapped Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush to lead the federally funded $4 billion-plus “comprehensive mitigation” effort. Funding will come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under a community development block grant.

“Today we are pushing forward with the singlelargest mitigation program our state has ever seen,” Abbott said. “Commissioner Bush and I are committed to working together in partnership with HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) and the Texas Division of Emergency Management to maximize the impact of this funding.”

HUD on Aug. 23 released mandatory rules for the use of more than $4.3 billion in congressionally appropriated funding to be administered by the Texas General Land Office. Funding has been earmarked for projects as follows: — $4,074,456,000 for Hurricane Harvey; — $169,748,000 for 2016 floods; and — $52,985,000 for 2015 floods.

The overall total includes certain funds for 2015 floods to be allocated directly by HUD to — City of Houston, $61,884,000; and — City of San Marcos, $24,012,000.

FEDERAL DISASTER DECLARED The White House on Oct. 4 ordered federal assistance to supplement state and local recovery efforts in Texas counties affected by Tropical Storm Imelda from Sept. 17 to Sep. 23.

The disaster declaration makes federal funding available to affected indi-

viduals in the counties of Chambers, Harris, Jefferson, Liberty, Montgomery and Orange. Assistance may include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard-mitigation measures statewide. Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments, according to a White House news release.

When Gov. Abbott requested the presidential disaster declaration on Oct. 1, he said, “The recent severe weather in the Gulf Coast region has impacted thousands of Texans, leaving many without the resources they need to recover.”

REVENUE INCHES HIGHER Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar on Oct. 2 announced state sales tax revenue totaled $2.74 billion in September, an amount 1.2 percent more than the amount reported for the month of September 2018.

“State sales tax revenue grew only modestly in September,” Hegar said. “Strong growth in receipts from the construction sector, retail trade and restaurants were largely offset by declining receipts from oil- and gasrelated sectors.”

Total sales tax revenue

for the three months ending in September 2019 was up 3.2 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 57 percent of all tax collections.

‘FARM FRESH’ KICKS OFF Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on Oct. 2 announced the start of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s annual Farm Fresh Challenge for Texas schools.

The effort encourages schools to buy Texas-grown foods, teach students about the importance of agriculture and celebrate their activities on social media.

More than 220 school districts and charter school organizations have pledged participation for 2019, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture.

DSHS UPDATES CASE COUNT The Department of State Health Services on Oct. 1 reported the identification of some 75 Texas cases of severe lung disease in people who report vaping before developing symptoms.

State health officials, who update and post the case count every Tuesday, are gathering more information about 34 other possible cases to determine whether they are consistent with the symptoms and substance use seen in cases in Texas and 47 other states.

Patients range in age from 13 to 75 with a median age of 22 years. About one-third of the Texas cases have been in teens, three-quarters are male and almost all required hospitalization.

Nationally, 1,080 cases have been reported. DSHS is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and other states to gather evidence of what the cases have in common and determine a cause.

Poor Towns and Dirty Towns Revisited Author’s note: in the coming weeks, thanks to partnership between Reclaiming Stamford and the City of Stamford, the Stamford community will launch a new wave of demolishing abandoned and dilapidated houses within the community. This was the second-ever edition of “Essays from West of 98.” I thought it would be appropriate to share the back story on this project, for folks who might be new to my essays or who are interested in following a new campaign of beautification.

In 2005, a group of Stamford citizens formed a beautification coalition that would come to be known as “Reclaiming Stamford.” Since then, this volunteer group has

ESSAYS FROM WEST OF 98 James M. Decker demolished over 100 dilapidated structures in Stamford, sponsored numerous cleanup days, and eliminated over a dozen illegal dumpsites.

But one sentence uttered by my father in an early meeting has resonated throughout the years and stuck with me ever since: “You can’t always choose whether you’re a poor town, but you can choose whether you’re a dirty town.”

Stamford and similar rural communities have certain challenges that are no secret to any of us.

Suburban sprawl is too far away to grow our own populations and tax bases.

Oil booms, the fuel for much West Texas success, can be fleeting and unpredictable and have largely evaded some of our communities. Stereotypical “old money,” to the extent that it ever existed, becomes fragmented or detached from the community as it passes down through multiple generations.

These are some of reasons that might cause difficulty for a rural community to maintain or achieve prosperity. A town that lacks growth and the financial resources to improve its situation may well be called a “poor” town. And yet, none of these challenges are an acceptable excuse to be a “dirty” town.

When an outsider drives through a poor town, they might not see shiny new retail businesses or freshly-paved streets, but the existing improvements might be maintained with care. What about a dirty town? Are the streets and sidewalks overgrown with weeds? Does trash collect on every street and vacant lot? Are broken street signs and park equipment left to linger for months?

Are city codes properly enforced?

Bringing in new retail investment or building new streets can be a substantial financial challenge. But what about pulling weeds, picking up trash, fixing street signs and park equipment, and enforcing city codes? Those are all a choice.

If rural community leaders desire a better future, then outside growth and investment will surely be necessary. But does your town actually attract out-

THE NEW STAMFORD AMERICAN

siders? When an outsider passes through, what do they see? Do they see a town doing its best with what it has, or do they see a town that has made the choice to be dirty? That choice suggests whether a community cares enough to make their place desirable. Without visible community pride from current residents, it’s hard to expect much enthusiasm from outsiders.

What do you see in your town? And will you be part of the choice to make it something better?

THE NEW STAMFORD AMERICAN

As someone who has a lot of licenses, certifications, and qualifications (in my world, the difference between a certification and qualification is that a certification can be kept by continuing education, and a qualification has to be retained by taking the whole course over again, usually every three to four years), I get to go to a lot of conferences where continuing education courses are offered. So far, at least as I recall it, I’ve been to four such events this year alone, with the latest one being the annual tree conference held by the Texas chapter of the International Association of Arboriculture (TISA).

That’s the biggest one in Texas, and in fact, the only bigger such event I’ve ever been to was when the Annual International conference was held in Fort Worth a few years ago.

That was fun, interesting, and unfortunately, very expensive to attend, but I did get a lot out of it.

Anyway, while the smaller conferences tend to stick to a few types of classes, with presenters who are focused on one or two aspects of trees, or tree work, the larger conferences generally have a lot more classes, with a much wider spread of information. By the way, neither type of conference is a better way to go than the other. A full day on one subject can be extremely educational, but so can a day split up into many different topics, with different presenters. It all really depends on who is doing the presentation, and what they are discussing.

I’ve been to plenty of classes that were just fantastic, and I’ve been to plenty where my comment card contains some turn of the phrase “this speaker should not be invited back”.

Oh well, if they don’t want my opinion, they shouldn’t ask.

One of the things that I find interesting about the larger conferences,

WEST TEXAS TREES AND LANDSCAPES

By Bruce Kreitler and the KWKC Green Team with multiple speakers, is that some of them are going to get into real detail about things that people in the field deal with on a daily basis, and sometimes add some new information about such subjects. I spend a lot of time dealing with, and talking to customers about, sprouts. Or more specifically, the epicormic sprouts that grow on tree trunks and main branches, when those sections of the tree are exposed to enough sunlight to excite the dormant buds existing in such places. Most people will be familiar with all the sprouts on pecan trees, simply because pecans are heavily predisposed to such sprouting. Actually, the worst tree for doing a lot of sprouting in our area is the box elder, but we don’t have enough of those trees in our region for everybody to be familiar with them, and their growth habits. On the other hand, pecan trees are everywhere, and most people are pretty familiar with them.

One of the reasons that I talk with so many people about sprouts, is because while they can be unattractive, sprouts can also be beneficial to a tree.

Not only that, but due to the manner in which they grow, and the reasons for that growth, just totally removing them, probably means that they are all going to just grow back.

What that means is that if a

client doesn’t like the look of them, and has them all removed, quite possibly they are introducing an annual pruning contest between the customer’s pocket book, and the tree.

Not only can that get costly, it also means the tree will be wasting energy on creating those new sprouts, every year, that would be better spent on something else.

As a long time advocate of not removing any more sprouts than necessary on a tree, I found one of the classes I took at this last conference to be very interesting. I’ve long known, and passed on to my clients that sprouts on a tree, no matter what they may look like, are generally contributing to the tree. Green leaves mean food production (photosynthate), and that’s what keeps trees alive, and thriving. However, this speaker introduced another function that sprouts can perform, that I hadn’t thought about, and was unaware of.

It seems that sprouts that exist near, or around, pruning cuts, or places where trees have lost branches on their own, help limit the amount of decay created by such wounds. Apparently, and I’m kind of guessing here, the close proximity of photosynthate production, makes that energy more available where it is most needed. Who knew? Well, I guess the researcher who disseminated this information knew, but most of us in the field were in the dark about it.

I know a lot of people who think that continuing

education is a waste of time, but I’m not in that group, and never have been. This new information will be very useful to me, and will help me take better care of my clients trees. A win win if I ever saw one.

THE NEW STAMFORD AMERICAN

Learn to Adapt This past week has been quite a busy week for me as I have found that I will need to soon adapt to a change. I will not go into it here as the matter itself is slightly confidential, but it is not the first time where a major change has caused me to adapt to a new situation quickly whether it THOUGHTS FROM be positive or negative. While preparing for this change, I UNDER THE CAP started thinking about how those many times in the Will McClure past, both at work and in my personal life, where I needed to quickly adapt and “change gears” so to speak and I was surprised by how many times similar situations have occurred either major or minor. While also thinking about these times, I started feeling a sense of pride by how I was personally able to change on the fly and keep moving forward despite the challenge. I do know that I am not the only one that has had this feeling as being able to adapt is indeed a way of life so you can try to overcome the many obstacles that life throws; but for some, learning to adapt does not come quite as easy.

Adapting to new things seems to not occur as naturally to many as it has in the past as so many people are accustomed to certain things and just hate it when anything changes. As a result, many individuals end up letting complacency set in and outright refuse to change their actions or their emotions when it is needed. In my opinion, this is the reason that nostalgia seems to be valued so highly these days because the things in the past will never change and will always give us fond memories. However, we should never let nostalgia take over and “live in the past” as we still have the present and the future to look forward to. The thing about the future is that it is uncertain and being able to adapt to change is what makes us stronger on an emotional level. While we do like things to stay the same and may even enjoy being in a rut depending on the situation, it behooves our psyche to be able to know that we are ready to face any challenge that comes to us and know that we have the skills needed to not only take it on but also make things better for ourselves. Change can be scary, but it is a way of life.

Keeping the “status quo” is on a lot of individual’s minds these days because it is what we are comfortable with.

However, that is not the way life works. Even if we think we are maintaining the same routine, we are always adapting to some kind of situation. It could be something as simple as changing when you set the alarm for the morning or even taking a different route to a destination or it could be something major as needing to change to completely new surroundings, specifically a job. Even if one has had the same career for years, changing the job location or even when he or she first started out forced an adaption to occur. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are when you receive your diploma or certification for a career, the classroom is not the same as the real thing as it does account for the people you either will work with or even serve. Being able to change and adapt on the fly will not only make you a better person, but will also help others see how dedicated you are in making things work. No matter how much we may like the same, old routine, adapting to change not only gives us something new to attempt and overcome, but it can prove to be an exciting future at the same time.

Until next time, dear reader, my cap’s off to you!

Pat Neff and the White Rose Pat Neff was governor of Texas from 1921 to 1925.

His accomplishments include establishing Texas Tech and the Texas State Parks System (the first park is Mother Neff State Park). “He was followed by Ma Ferguson as governor,” says David Scott of Gatesville, who spent 15 years doing research and writing a biography of Pat Neff. “Pat Neff started a tradition that still carries on today. When a governor leaves office, he places a Bible open on the desk with a verse underlined for the incoming governor. So he left this with Ma Ferguson and put a white rose on top of the open Bible. So when Ma and Pa Ferguson walked into the office, Pa Ferguson picked up the rose, threw it in the trash, slammed the Bible shut and said, ‘Sunday School’s over.’”

The title of David’s biography of Pat Neff is titled THE LAND, THE LAW AND THE LORD. Pat Neff was president of Baylor University from 1932 to 1947. He attended Baylor and graduated with a BA

in 1894.

“While a student at Baylor,” says David, “Pat met a young girl named Myrtle Mainer and they fell in love and he proposed to her. But he told her ‘I can’t get married to you until after I’m established as an attorney.’ So Myrtle left Baylor and went back home to Lovelady, Texas where she began a very long wait. It was years later, in 1901 when he finally married her.”

In the years leading up to his marriage Pat had obtained a law degree from the University of Texas in 1897 and established a law practice in Waco. Being a gifted orator, he was elected to the state legislature in 1899 and served until 1905, the last 2 years as speaker of the house.

David said Pat was a very outgoing person, never met a stranger. “His

wife on the other hand was very shy and retiring.

She didn’t like the limelight.

In fact when they moved into the governor’s mansion, she didn’t even become the official hostess. That was left up to their daughter Hallie Maude. Myrtle was sick a lot and went to hotels with mineral spas where you drink the water to get healthy. She always signed the hotel register with an assumed name because she didn’t want to be known as the governor’s wife. When she traveled to Lovelady by train she dressed in old clothes, a big hat and glasses so she wouldn’t be

TUMBLEWEED SMITH

recognized.”

Being the youngest of several children, Pat was very close to his mother.

“When he became governor he moved his mother to live with them in the governor’s mansion. And that’s where she died.” In 1923 Pat had the opportunity to be president of UT. In 1924 he was urged to run for president of the US. He turned down both offers. Pat was born on the family ranch at Eagle Springs near Gatesville in 1871. He died in 1952 and is buried in Waco’s Oakwood cemetery.

Stamford Takes Old Fashioned Licking In Battle Of Bulldogs

BY JENNIFER CRAIG Sometimes Murphy’s Law prevails. Sometimes the other team is just better on a particular night. And sometimes the two happen together. Such was the case Friday night at Bill Anderson Stadium as the visiting Clyde Bulldogs put a 61-0 “whupping” on the Stamford Bulldogs. Clyde had nine possessions in the game and scored touchdowns on eight of them. An interception return for a score added the final points for the visitors.

Stamford took the opening kickoff and quickly earned a first down on passes of eight yards each to Lane Patton and D’Marcus Barber from Trace Price. The drive ended when Clyde’s defense swarmed Price for a ten yard loss on a third down pass attempt. Regan Detamore came on to punt in place of Zhawn Holden who was among the walking wounded in street clothes on the Stamford sideline.

Clyde took over at the Stamford 45 and used nine plays to cover the distance to the end zone. Bo Baker got his first score of the night on a one yard plunge. Baker would finish the night with 151 yards and five touchdowns to lead the visitors. Pedro Altamirano added the PAT kick to give Clyde a 7-0 lead with 4:40 left showing on the clock which was still working at that point.

After a three and out for Stamford, Clyde again started in SHS territory. Baker picked up all of the 48 yards needed for a score on runs of five, 19, 18 and 6 yards. Altamirano again hit the PAT. The Bluedogs did earn another first down when Shavaris Cooper took a toss for eight yards to the Stamford 36.

Three penalties and three incomplete passes led to another punt. Stamford would not earn another first down during the first half as Clyde dominated the clock and the score for the balance of the half.

Clyde opened up the passing game with tosses of 26 yards to Jax Roam and 27 yards to Christian Deal. Baker capped the drive with a one yard score and Altamirano made the kick.

Stamford’s offense couldn’t move the ball but Detamore’s punt got a favorable roll to push Clyde back to the 23. Stamford’s defense stiffened with plays by Patton and Dylan Faulks and others to force the lone Clyde punt of the night.

Promising field position was lost when Price was sacked for negative 13 yards on first down. Cooper was stopped for a loss on second down; third down was an incomplete pass that came close to being a pick.

Clyde’s offense got back on track with Hunter Lopez scoring on a 34 yard pass from Dylan Neuman. The extra point kick hit the goal post and bounced away – one of the rare things that went wrong for Clyde during the night.

Deal turned the ball back to the visitors when he intercepted a Price pass and returned it to the Stamford 33.

Baker closed out the drive with another one yard score.

The PAT made the score 34-0 at halftime.

As if the football activity was enough proof of Murphy’s Law, the clock stopped during halftime activities.

After three attempts to get (and keep) it going, the task of keeping time was ceded to the officials on the field. Also at halftime the expected announcement of Homecoming Queen was delayed when the wrong envelope was delivered to the announcer.

Stamford attempted to jump start the offense with an onside kick to start the second half. The kick went out of bounds however and Clyde took over at the Stamford 48. Stamford’s defense did force a fourth down but Clyde converted with a pass to Roam. Baker closed the drive with a 16 yard run; a bad snap negated the PAT attempt but

Clyde had pushed the score to 40-0.

Cooper took the ensuing kickoff at the five and returned out to the 21 where a collision with three Clyde defenders laid low the back. The senior was taken off the field to add to Stamford’s injury woes.

Roam got the brunt of the yards on Clyde’s next scoring drive covering the final 15 yards in three carries. The kick made the score 47-0 with 1:47 left in the third quarter.

(The clock quit again shortly after the score.)

Stamford got a first down with a twelve yard pass from Price to Keyven Mueller. Two incompletions and a pass to Faulks that resulted in loss yards ended the third quarter.

Detamore’s 53 yard punt pushed Clyde back to the 15 yard line. It took seven plays for the visitors to cover that 85 yard stretch. Canaan Charleston got the bulk of the yards on a 47 yard pass from Neuman.

Stamford mounted a ten play drive that moved across midfield for the first time of the night and added two first downs. Patton got eleven yards on a reception for one of the first downs. Passes of seven yards to Faulks and 18 yards to Josh Mueller overcame lost yardage from a sack and posted the second first down. Price dropped back to pass on third down but Deal was there for the interception; the Clyde defender/wide receiver returned the pick for the final score of the night.

The loss drops Stamford to 4-2 for the year. The Bulldogs will try to regroup Friday night as they host the Ozona Lions to begin District 3-2A action. The Lions have an identical 4-2 mark and are also coming off a loss; Ozona lost to 3A Crane 50-39. The Lions’ defense had shutouts (65-0 over Iraan; 36-0 over Reagan County; and 68-0 over Harper) and has allowed just 83 points for the year. In the other District 3-2A game of the week Winters will travel to Hawley with Forsan getting the open date.
