Tigers County Champs again after lopsided win at Hamilton By JERRY McADAMS Hico News Review Publisher

By JERRY McADAMS Hico News Review Publisher
Evidence that local law enforcement is taking active steps to fight and deter drug activity can be seen with a new four-legged addition. A newly acquired drug dog is on the job now with the Hico Marshal’s Office Hico Marshal Todd Ward said “Coby,” a red heeler, has been in town with him for almost a month after the pair completed a four-week training course together. Ward said the dog is from Universal Canine of San Anto-
nio and was obtained through a grant program with The Animal House Foundation which takes “rescue dogs” and turns them into “drug dogs,” trained to sniff out illegal drugs. Without the grant, a trained dog like Coby would cost approximately $15,000, Ward said. “But through the grant we were able to obtain him at no cost to the city except for my own training course, which was approximately $3,900. But a local

The Hico Tigers upped their season record to 5-1, 2-0 in District 7-2A, with a one-sided road victory over the Hamilton Bulldogs last Friday. Hico prevailed 58-21 in the Oct. 7, contest and, in the process, retained the traditional Hamilton County Championship trophy for the fourth year in a row. Credit goes to our friend and former Bulldog player Grant Lengefeld who researched the long rivalry series last week in The Hamilton-Herald News. Last week’s game in Hamilton marked the 55th time the two schools have met on the gridiron, dating back 100 years to the first game in 1915, which Hico won 21-0. After the most recent contest, Hamilton’s lead in the series is now 35-20. But in the past 10 years, the series is tied at 5-5. This year, Hico and Hamilton were back as district foes and Friday’s game was a high scoring affair. The first points were not scored until late in the first quarter and came on a defensive play by Hico’s Cooper Conlee, who intercepted a pass and returned it 57 yards for a Tiger touchdown. The extra point kick by Omar Herrera was good and Hico led 7-0 with 2:57 to go in the period. A fake punt by Hamilton early in the second quarter gave Hico the ball near midfield. Runs by Tigers Jacob Smith, Stran McLain and Ethan Warren moved the ball to the Bulldog 20. On fourth-and-one, Smith carried through the middle for a Hico touchdown. The extra point kick missed and Hico was ahead 13-0 with 7:22 left in the second quarter. Hamilton’s offense came alive on their next possession, aided by an interference penalty which set up a first down at midfield. Pounding runs up the middle moved the ball to the Hico 6-yardline. And two plays later another run into the middle produced a Bulldog touchdown. The extra point kick made it Hico 13, Hamilton 7, with 3:00 left in the first half. However, the final minutes of the half would produce three rapid fire touchdowns. Using runs by quarterback Briley Johnson, Smith and Warren, Hico quickly
Hico junior Cooper Conlee (#10 in white) returned two interceptions in the first half for touchdowns then added this 90-yard run on offense for his third score of the night at Hamilton as the Tigers retained the Hamilton County Championship trophy for the fourth straight year.

Following a Hico timeout with 25 seconds before halftime, Warren scored on the next play and Johnson ran it in for a two-point conversion, putting Hico up 21-7 with 21 seconds remaining in the second quarter. After Hico’s ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, Hamilton took their first play from their own 45 and launched a pass. Conlee plucked his second interception out of the air and again returned it for a Ti-
ger touchdown. Johnson ran in for a two-point conversion again and Hico led 29-7 with 11 seconds showing on the clock prior to halftime. Hico kicked off once again, and Hamilton shocked the Tigers by returning the kick for a Bulldog touchdown on the last play of the half. The extra point kick made it Hico 29, Hamilton 14 at intermission. Hico took the kickoff to start the second half and didn’t take long to pretty much put
the game away. After two plays and a false start penalty which pushed Hico back to its own 10-yardline with a thirdand-18 situation, junior Cooper Conlee added to his legendary night, racing around the end on a jet sweep and streaking 90 yards untouched for a Tiger touchdown. Johnson once again ran for a twopoint conversion to put Hico ahead 37-14 with 9:42 left in the third quarter. The game rocked along

IT’S THE PITTS A special feature of The Hico News Review. By LEE PITTS
Nationally Syndicated Columnist
Help Is On The Way Computers and the Internet have turned many businesses upside down and in many cases, eliminated them entirely. In this technological movement for improvement farmers seem to be ahead of ranchers. Go to any farm show these days and you’d think you were at a big computer convention in Las Vegas. Farmers currently use everything from mechanical pickers and thinners to soil probes that tell them where to deliver a few drops of water. Half million dollar combines crawl all over fields that before were only good for skiing on. When I first heard of Autosteer® I thought it was some kind of castrated robot, only later to learn that it was technology that allowed tractors to drive themselves. Oh sure, ranchers got excited about cattle implants that could be barcoded and read with a scanner until it was discovered that consumers could end up with a cow chip on their plate. (Not that kind of chip. I’m talking about a computer chip.) Personally, I got real excited about the possibility of using drones to find where cattle were hiding until the FAA got involved and started making all sorts of rules and regulations concerning their use. I’m sure some day you’ll have to have a commercial pilot’s license to operate a fifty dollar drone. So far the cow/calf business hasn’t exactly been swamped with new products utilizing cutting edge computer technology but that could be about to change. Unfortunately it’s the same old story... I have both good news and bad news for cowboys. First, the good news. Have you heard about Moocall? It’s a sensor you attach to
a cow’s tail that measures the movement patterns of her tail, gathering 600 pieces of data PER SECOND. When her tail is highly active due to contractions Moocall automatically sends a two hour headsup when a cow or heifer is about to calve by automatically sending a text message. And just in case anyone tries to sleep through the birth, it sends a another reminder one hour before estimated parturition. The idea for the product came from an Irishman by the name of Niall Austin who lost a cow and her calf back in 2010 because he wasn’t on hand for the birth. He gathered up a couple partners and since 2015 when Moocall was brought to market, 13,000 Moocall devices have been sold. It is currently being tested at two universities in America. Guys, just think, you’re worried sick about a set of 700 pound heifers that accidentally got bred to the neighbor’s 2,800 pound bull with shoulders that look like they belong on an NFL linebacker, but instead of being awakened by the ring of an alarm clock every two hours reminding your wife to go check on the heifers, you can sleep tight knowing that Moocall will alert her when a heifer is about to calve. Then, at her leisure she can go to the heifer lot only to see that the heifer in question is merely being bothered by a particularly pesky fly. Or she is awakened at four in the morning by a heifer that hates the Moocall device on her tail and keeps trying to knock it off, causing your wife’s phone to ring off the hook. I think Moocall holds some promise and it’s a step in the right direction but what I think most ranchers would prefer is a device that you attach to a heifer or cow that instead of phoning you in the middle of the night actually goes ahead and delivers the calf so that your wife can get some much needed shuteye so she’s not so cranky the next morning. That was the good news I promised. Here’s the bad news for cowboys everywhere. This story also comes to us courtesy of not-so-Great Britain. It seems scientists there are worried about a shortage and the high cost of cowboys so they developed the first robot
that can actually gather cattle. (Now all we need is a squeeze chute that can brand, castrate and vaccinate.) The British cowboy robot has already successfully completed its first trial and can navigate through bodies of water and jump over large logs without bucking anyone off. I don’t know about you but that’s way more than my wonder horse Gentleman would ever do. wwwLeePittsbooks.com
That McAdams Column Occasional rambling ideas, stories and unsolicited opinions about various stuff. By JERRY McADAMS
Hico News Review Publisher
Political speak? Oh, yeah, I’ve done that...
Watching some of these professional politicians, it recently occurred to me that something sounded very familiar about their speech patterns and answers to questions. Then I recognized it. B.S. Which stands for ‘bull stuff’ or some similar term in this family friendly newspaper. I recognized B.S. because I remember relying on it from time to time in school, when there would be a term paper due or some lengthy essay exam for which I had not prepared. You may remember it, too. Being asked something for which you have no answer, yet still managing to write two full pages in an exam blue book on the topic. I embarrassed myself many times, knowing full well I had no answer to a test question, but writing sentence after long flowing sentence filled with pretentious adjectives and adverbs which said basically nothing. I was also embarrassed at frequently getting away with it. When on the spot in both high school and college, I could produce two pages of

mumbo jumbo double speak, sprinkled with a couple of words or phrases I remembered from skimming photos or paragraph headings 10 minutes earlier in the chapter I didn’t read. And more often than not, teachers didn’t call my bluff and gave me a decent grade, based I guess, on sheer volume of words I strung together. A guy this eloquent must know what he’s talking about. Check mark. For some classes and some professors, of course, I knew I had to do the work, learn the material and actually study. But for others, Bee and Ess were enough. One of the keys to this skill was to spend at least a paragraph or two just repeating the test question in different ways. Also, write big. (An advantage before laptop typing was required). For example, an essay test question which read: “Compare and Contrast the Economic Strengths of the North and South During the American Civil War.” Start off like this: When one is asked to compare and contrast the economic strengths of the North and South during the American Civil War, there are many complicated factors to consider. Some of these factors are quite comparable, while others show stark contrast. In the North, for example, conditions and the economy
were in some ways similar to those in the South. But in other ways they were much different...... Get the idea? There’s almost half a page and you’ve said basically nothing. Just double speak word games. (In fairness, I’m sure it helped if an overworked teacher had a huge stack of essays to grade). Most professional politi-

The Hico City Council meets in regular session on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
cians have perfected this skill of talking while saying nothing. Repeat cliches and run out the clock. Also, leave wiggle room by including phrases like “I’m really glad you asked me that” or “as far as I know’ or “I’ve been told” or “most experts agree...” or “to the best of my recollection.” You can finish an entire essay--or debate or press conference--having said sentence after sentence that have absolutely no meaning. And if the teachers--or the voters-are not paying attention, or aren’t very smart, or just don’t care...a skilled Bee Esser can get away with it. Next time you hear a lifelong professional politician give an answer on any topic, listen carefully to the long flowery sentence then ask yourself, “What? What did they just say?” You might not like rude, crude, blunt and politically incorrect, but at least you know what those words mean. I’ll take that over Bee and Ess, any day.

--donor who wishes to remain anonymous paid for that cost.” Ward said the dogs don’t need to be German Shepherds or big Dobermans to do the job. Coby stays with him at home or in the squad car and is regularly taken on traffic stops to search suspicious vehicles. “So far he’s gone out on eight stops and he hit on four of them, leading to two arrests already. “Ninety percent of what we use him is traffic stops, and the other uses are at the school on random searches, checking lockers and the parking lot. He’s also trained to track and can help locate something like a lost kiddo or a suspect that has run from us,” Ward said. “We consider him a real asset to the department. Before this, the closest drug dog was 20 miles away and we didn’t always have access to him,” Ward said. The dog is trained to detect cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamine and marijuana, Ward added. An account at Mills County State Bank is being set up for anyone who would like to contribute to the feed and care for the dog.

This weeks player of the week is Sydney Polk. She is a sophomore, number 3. This is her first year on varsity. Sydney is a very dedicated athlete and a great teammate. She has always been extremely coachable and has improved so much in her time on varsity. I definitely expect big things from her as the year continues and throughout her career in high school volleyball.

BALL ct. fr. p.1 --with that score for the remainder of the period. Hico’s defense had Hamilton bottled up on their own 23. Forced to punt on the first play of the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs faced a heavy rush from McLain and a host of Tigers. With a low snap, the kick was hurried and caught off the foot of the punter by Hico lineman Cameron Matthews, who barreled into the endzone for a Tiger touchdown. The extra point kick by Herrera gave Hico a 44-14 lead with 11:09 still to play in the game. Hamilton put together their final scoring drive on the next possession, climaxing with a 29-yard touchdown pass. The extra point kick cut Hico’s advantage to 44-21 with 7:24 to play. After a failed onsides kick attempt gave Hico the ball at their own 43, the Tigers soon zoomed back into the red zone with a 40-yard carry by senor Hunter Mullins. Warren carried the next two plays, the second of which was an 8-yard touchdown dash. Herrera’s extra point kick gave Hico a 30-point lead 51-21, with more than five minutes left. Hamilton’s next possession was short lived when Tiger Justin Smith (twin brother to Jacob) intercepted a Bulldog pass. A few plays later, Justin capped a short drive

Pastor: Chris Post “Let all the earth fear the Lord, let all the people of the world revere Him. For He spoke, and it came to be, He commanded and it stood firm. The Lord foils the plans of the nations, He thwarts the purposes of the peoples.“ Psalm 33 opened our service. Nice crowd, several guests came for the baptisms. After introductions, we sang from “Fairest Lord Jesus,” “Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken,” and “Love Lifted Me.” On the prayer list for the week are those affected by the hurricane, Patrick & Cameron, Marilyn Coalston, Cody Keith, our military, and our nation as the election draws near. We were blessed to share in the baptisms of Patrick and Cameron, welcome to the fellowship of believers to both of them! The sermon came from Mark 6 and was about the 5 loaves and 2 fishes.

Fairy Baptist Church News
By Marilyn Pettijohn
Pastor: Bob Ray What a wonderful week for our revival the Lord blessed us with! If you didn’t get to join us, you missed out on great sermons, great food, and great entertainment! Bro. Bob Ray’s message Sunday came from II Kings 4:8-37, title, “A Faith With Brokenness.” He says, “Let us keep the faith even when we are living with a secret heartbreak!” Remember our Lord is the one who changes that which is unchangeable. We should practice hospitality, promote the work of the Lord, show Godliness with contentment, and have great faith. In the children’s/youth message, he talks to them about “temptation.” He tells them of the first temptation in the Bible was when Eve took the apple from the tree that God had forbidden them to do. When you are tempted to do something you know is wrong - go to God. He says to resist temptation and understand it. Then Bro. Bob had a plate of cookies and told them they could have any one they wanted, except the one with “pink icing!” You should have seen their faces! I think David Black, Richard Ray and Janice Leamons are all going to have a tough act to follow you now, Bro. Bob! Jack and Sheri Reed had daughter, Taylor and future husband McCurdy Coldwell there, along with Jack’s sister, Dottie. Glad to see you all! Those in need of prayer are: Kathy Cole, Sarah Weldy, Janet Graves, and Denny Pettijohn. Glad to see Kaye Lewis back and feeling better. Janice Leamons presented us with the special music, by singing a beautiful song that she says touches her heart, “While I’m Waiting.” Beautifully done, Janice, thank you! Happy Birthday’s go out to Mary Davis on Oct. 5th and Nell Zunker on the 7th. Sharon Calaway on Oct. 11th, and Jimmy Stearnes on the 15th. Happy Anniversary to Brent and Sarah Weldy on October 13th.

REMODELING A BATH ON YOUR OWN

dow coverings and cover the floor and tub then you will be ready to paint. Follow instructions on the paint and just be patient. Don’t hurry if your not used to painting. Let it dry completely, then paint the trim with the sash brush. If your cabinets are pre-finished, you are ready to install them and also the medicine cabinet. Measure the height and mark a line to use when you are holding the cabinet on the wall. Screw it to a stud and add trim that you’ve bought and it is ready to go. Do the same with the medicine cabinet and you’re ready to install the new light. I suggest watching a You Tube video to get the correct idea of how to install your new light (don’t forget to turn off the breaker that works the light or you will have a shocking experience). Now remove your old faucet and drain line from the old sink and remove the old cabinet top. Install you new top with the help of You Tube and you’re ready to reinstall the drain line and your new faucet. Put the new plug and switch covers on and reinstall the curtains on the windows. Now you’re ready to brag to your friends about your new bathroom. You can even exaggerate about your skill as a carpenter and remodeler. Remember to always research anything you don’t know how to do and be careful of electricity and heavy loads (lift with your legs). It will be finished before you know it. Have fun and good luck!

knife and a caulking gun to even out any blemishes in the walls. Last, you might need a pry bar to remove the old top on your sink. Measure the top and find a granite store that will make you a new top and pick out an under top sink that you want. They will let you pick the granite you want and if they have a remnant of a larger piece that will do, you can get it a little cheaper. The top will usually take a few days to make so do this first so it won’t slow you up later. Measure the upper cabinets you want to replace and go to either a cabinet shop and get a custom cabinet made, or just go to a home improvement store and buy a cabinet or cabinets that will work. Measure the space for the new light, faucet and the medicine cabinet and the same home improvement store may have something that will work. The internet is also a great place to look for these items. Your neighborhood lumber yard or paint store will have paint that will work and they have many options to choose from. Once you have gathered your new items and know when the ordered ones will be there, you can start removing the clutter from the bathroom to be redone. First, remove all of the old cabinets, plugs, and switch covers. Cover the plugs and switches with masking tape to keep the paint off of them. Remove towel bars and paper holders that are on the wall. Caulk any blemishes on the walls so your paint job will look great. Remove any win-

Let’s say you have a regular size bathroom in your home and you want to remodel it and update the look. The thing is you don’t want to pay someone else to do it. You may want to save some money or you just don’t want strangers making a mess in your home (contractors could make a small mess, but they’re so nice that you wouldn’t mind). Whatever the reason, you can do it and here is a example of how to do it. The first thing is to get ideas on what you want the new bath to look like and make a list of what you want to change. The second thing to do is realistically decide if you have the tools and know how to do the changes. Next, you can buy or rent the tools you don’t have and You Tube videos are handy to get the knowledge you don’t possess. Let’s say you want to change the paint on the walls and replace the upper cabinet above the commode. Next, you want to change the top of your sink from old laminate to new granite with an under counter sink and a new faucet. You also decided to add a new medicine cabinet and mirror and a new light fixture over the medicine cabinet. The tools to do the work are very basic and easily acquired. You will need either a couple of screwdrivers or a battery powered drill or driver with bits. This will allow you to replace most cabinets and lights. An adjustable wrench or “Channel Lock” pliers are needed for the faucet replacement. The painting will take a paint roller and a gallon bucket, and a good sash brush. You will also need a putty
Texas’ Education Service Centers honored for 50 years of service to Texas Public Schools (Austin, TX) Friends of Texas Public Schools (Friends) is honoring Texas’ 20 Education Service Centers with its inaugural Founder’s Distinguished Service Award for its 50-year legacy of supporting Texas public schools. The Founder’s Distinguished Service Award was created to honor organizations whose support and service has been instrumental to the success of Texas public schools. The 20 education service centers across the state have quietly served our public schools for the last 50 years, providing vital services that have enabled school districts to educate students effectively and efficiently. “As a past superintendent in a rural setting, I can testify to the importance of service centers to the operational success of our school districts in Texas,” said Blake Cooper, Executive Director, Friends. “With the wide variety of services provided by ESC’s, school districts can operate in a very efficient manner while providing the best learning opportunities for our students.”
The mission of the System of Education Service Centers is to improve student achievement in Texas by developing high quality services that enable schools to operate more efficiently and economically, and to support educators as they prepare the future workforce of Texas. Examples of these services include: access to curriculum and at-risk/ dropout prevention programs; teacher appraisal and certification; training, consulting and professional development services; cooperative purchasing agreements for food, energy, and fuel purchasing; and technical support. Dr. Jerry Maze, Executive Director of Region 12 Education Service Center, said he is proud of this honor, but the real honor is the privilege of serving Texas students. “On behalf of my colleagues in the Education Service Centers of Texas, we are proud to be recognized with this honor from Friends of Texas Public Schools, another group of great champions for children.” FOTPS officials will present
the ESC’s with the award during the 12th Annual Friend of the Year Gala to be held in the Baylor Club, McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas on Wednesday, December 7. For more details about the event or if you would like to consider a table sponsorship, please contact Jennifer Storm at stormj@fotps.org. Visit the event website at www.fotps.org/events.

Hamilton Co. Republican Club to meet Oct. 20
Dove Festival Gospel Singing
The coming Election is so important for our families, communities, our state and nation, it calls for being well educated about each and every vote we cast. You can check out FreeVotersGuide.com to get information on the issues of the presidential candidates available now, and U.S. Senate and House candidates will be released October 17. Texas House and Senate scorecards are available on Texas Values’ website.
Hamilton County Republican Club will meet October, 20, 2016 at Six Spokes Signs at 205 N. Bell St. at 6:00 PM. The guest speaker will be the Republican candidate for Senate District 24 , Dawn Buckingham. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is invited.
Friends of Texas Public Schools is a 501c(3) nonprofit, grassroots organization dedicated to restoring public confidence in our schools by promoting their many strengths and achievements. We believe the people of Texas have a right to know that, in spite of the many challenges they face, our public schools are achieving more today than ever in their history, and that the incessant, negative and oftentimes disrespectful conversation about public education is counterproductive to progress. To learn more visit www. FOTPS.org.
The 2016 Dove Festival Gospel Singing will be on Sunday, October 23, at 6:00 p.m. in the Chandler Craig Auditorium at Hamilton High School, 400 S. College St., Hamilton, TX.

Kids Korner the Fun at Holiday Market By Linda Pledger, Pottsville Extension Education Club
Grownups aren’t the only ones who have a good time at PEEC’s Holiday Market. Kids have their own Korner on the market, with games, books, Christmas crafts, a coloring contest, a toy box and a box of clothes for dress up. How’s that for a 9 to 4 day of entertainment on November 12 at the Hamilton Fair Park pavilions, 1007 Park Road and Alamo! With help from PEEC members Bernice Wendland, Alice Pietzsch, and Kelly Kuhl, we plan to make a fun day of it for various ages of children. Virtually all the activities will be free to the kids, with only a very small charge if they choose to make a large number of craft items—not even enough to cover the cost of the supplies. This is the one area of the Eighth Annual Holiday Market that does not even try to raise money, but we simply want to be sure the young‘uns have fun while the adults are busy shopping and visiting. Last year about 30 kids spent time in our play space, and we expect more than that this year. Dependably, you can still find the Friends of the Library with their massive book sale in the back pavilion. And since she received so many tasters and bottle buyers last year, Susan Vandiver will return with Hamilton’s Red Wing Dove Winery samples, too. All in all, we have a delightful “family” of vendors and helpers to offer you. Our club of volunteers makes most of our proceeds from the sale of the 50 booth spaces, 10 x 10 and $30 each, all scheduled to be in the front pavilion this year, since the bleachers have been moved out to give us much more space. The Stephenville Elks Club will also set up in the Jayson Harris Pavilion with barbecue sandwiches, curly fries, and canned sodas, as will Wenzel’s Lone Star Meat with bison bacon burgers and iced tea. So there is no need to leave: We’ll have it all at your fingertips. Prospective vendors can contact Jeanna Black, jinksblack@gmail.com, or Sue Kopp at 254-372-3003 or larryandsuekopp@gmail.com, ACROSS

to see about getting a space either to sell your goods, distribute your literature, provide a service, give things away, or whatever you choose to do with it. Since the entire area is enclosed you won’t have to worry about the weather. But don’t delay, as we are now limited to only 50 places to reserve. Our club, part of the Texas Extension Education Association, formerly called the Home Demonstration Clubs, loves to manage large special events like this one, so that we can give every bit of the income away. Sound futile? Not at all.
Holiday Market gives children a wonderful opportunity to play all day at Kids Korner.

You see, we donate all of our net revenues from Holiday Market to high school seniors and others to help them on their way to college or other career training. Education is dear to our hearts, and we’re happy to help support it. If you are considering applying for one of our scholarships, call Sue Kopp, who chairs our scholarship committee. So, Kids, be sure to bring your family along on November 12. They’ll be glad you did, and “we kids” will certainly have a grand day together.

Was Cabeza da Vaca a stereotypical conquistador or a compassionate ethnographer and Texas’ first travel writer?

The chapter will also be recognizing Gonzales Day which was October 2. It was the first recognized battle of the Texas Revolution. A Texas force of 160 men challenged the Mexican military authority by refusing to surrender a brass cannon previously given to the town as a means of protection against the Indians. The Battle of Gonzales lasted only a few minutes but most citizens in
