Tioga woman dies in wreck Three others injured in 377 accident

Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers investigate the three-vehicle accident that claimed the life of Misty Williams of Tioga Tuesday morning on U.S. 377 near Tioga. Richard Greene/The Post-Signal

By Richard Greene Managing Editor A three-vehicle accident Tuesday morning just south of Tioga on U.S. 377 claimed the lives of a Tioga woman and her unborn child. Grayson County Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Mike Reeves pronounced Misty Williams, 31, dead at the scene at U.S. 377 near Emberson Chapel Road at 8:41 a.m. Three other people were injured in the accident and were taken to area

What’s for lunch? New contractor broadens school lunch menus By Richard Greene Managing Editor Baja salad, black beans, penne pasta, rotini and beef broccoli teriyaki stray far from the typical school lunchroom fare. But they are part of the new menu rolled out last week by the Pilot Point ISD’s new food-service provider, ARAMARK. “We’re trying to add some new exciting things,” said Bill Tredennick, the Pilot Point ISD’s director of food service. “We’re hoping to pique [students’] interest to get them away from pizza and hamburger every day.” Pilot Point ISD contracted with ARAMARK last spring. The company’s contract began June 1. ARAMARK has promised the district a profit of $5,000. The projected cost of running the district’s four cafeterias is $799,684. Pilot Point ISD Assistant Superintendent Dan Ray Gist said the hiring of ARAMARK was not a costcutting measure. He said the district has operated its food service with a surplus over the past several years. “We’ve had such a surplus that the state has asked us to spend money,” Gist said. “I wanted to improve our food service. I felt our cafeterias were average. I wanted us to be above average.”

hospitals. A passenger in Williams’ car — John Cothrin, 28, of Tioga — was transported by ambulance to Denton Presbyterian. He underwent surgery Wednesday morning and was released. Christie Swinney, 42, of Celina was flown to Medical Center of Plano, where she remained in the intensive care unit Thursday morning. Lisa Lemoine, 45, of Collinsville was also flown to the Plano hospital; she was treated and released Tuesday. The accident occurred just before 7 a.m. Swinney, who was driving north on U.S. 377 in a 2012 Chrys-

Her road to recovery Beall takes active part in her cancer treatment

By Heather Tipton Staff Writer The road to recovery has been long for breast cancer survivor Lucette Beall. She underwent four surgeries to remove her tumor and endured six sessions of chemotherapy and seven weeks of radiation treatment to come out cancer-free. Through it all, she learned to help herself and accept help from others — and gained an appreciation for every day’s gifts. “I don’t think you can go through it and not be changed,” said Beall, who lives in Pilot Point and is the veterinarian at a clinic

in Aubrey. “You always know that you’re not immortal, but you don’t really think about it. It reminds you how precious life is.” When Beall was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer in December 2009, her doctors said that it was slow growing and mostly non-invasive. They performed surgery to excise the tumor and initially thought all had gone as planned. “They removed the tumor and thought they got clear margins,” Beall said. “Because it was so slow growing, [the cancer cells] were very close to normal so it was very hard for the pathologist to differen-

tiate them on the frozen slides. “I got a call two days later. After they did special staining, the margins weren’t clean and there was a little bit of cancer — not a lot — in the lymph nodes.” The development proved worrisome for Beall’s doctors, who recommended she undergo surgery to remove all of the affected lymph nodes. Beall was wary of such drastic measures. “I didn’t want the rest of my lymph nodes to be gone because that makes this job very dangerous,” she said, referring to her job of working with animals.

By Richard Greene Managing Editor Most mornings, Aubrey Mayor Gary Hammett stops by City Hall and spends time signing checks, filling out purchase orders, and meeting with city staff. But Hammett says those aren’t the only hours he puts in. “You’re also inundated with emails and phone calls, not only from staff but others, developers and residents,” Hammett said. “You don’t know the time it takes until you’re the one in there making the decisions.” For his time, Hammett currently draws a salary of $204 per week, or $10,608 annually. The salary was originally instituted in 2000 at $175 per week. The council may consider eliminating the mayor’s salary in the next few months. The issue came up for discussion at last month’s council meeting but was tabled. Hammett said the statute prevents the council from eliminating the salary before the end of the current mayor’s term. His term expires in May 2013. “When it was voted in, it didn’t start until the next term, and if you vote it out it doesn’t end until the term ends,” Hammett said. Hammett said he’s not against the salary being eliminated if the council moves toward naming a Continued on Page 4

A night on the town Police Department hosts ‘Night Out’

Bubba, Jacie and their mother Brittany Chandler met police Chief Ric Sadler during Pilot Point’s National Night Out Tuesday evening.

Heather Tipton/The Post-Signal

By Heather Tipton Staff Writer The smell of grilled hotdogs and the sound of dance music wafted through the Northstar Center parking lot Tuesday evening as Pilot Point held its annual National Night Out celebration. The event drew more than 700 visitors and was deemed a success by the Pilot Point Police Department, which organized the event. Residents came out to enjoy music and food and peruse 27 dif-

ferent vendor booths. The night also gave Pilot Point residents the opportunity to meet the members of the fire and police departments on a more personal level. “It’s a chance for everyone to get out here and see their police department and their fire department and have some fun all at once,” said Police Chief Ric Sadler. Cub Scout Pack 686 was on site to distribute information and sell popcorn. Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch brought in a train for kids to ride, as well as a black and white ruffed lemur and a 7-month-old albino kangaroo. Vendors reported having a

good response as well. “I’m having fun. I’ve seen a lot of familiar faces, and I’m meeting new people,” said Monday Chambers of the Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial Group. “I really think that it’s fun to be out and to be involved. We’re a small community. You really want to be personable.” Organizers gave away a netbook, a gun safe and a bicycle to raffle drawing winners. Kids lined up for the chance to soak fire and police department personnel in a dunking booth. Bounce houses were there, as well Continued on Page 4

VIEWPOINTS

Transparency: Cross Roads gets it

In an age when almost everything is open to public scrutiny, it’s ironic that some DAVID government officials in Texas LEWIS Letter From continue to fight the concept. The Editor It’s also refreshing that we have an example of complete government transparency right here in our own area. A couple of weeks ago, the U.S. 5th Circuit of Appeals affirmed lower court rulings that the Texas Open Meetings Act is constitutional. The lawsuit, filed by council members from cities around the state, has been in the

courts since 2006. Every ruling has gone against the plaintiffs, but they persist, claiming that the law infringes on their freedom of speech. The Open Meetings Act requires city councils, school boards, and other government boards to meet in public. Discussion of public business except in official meetings is against the law. Violation of the act is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500 and up to six months in jail. I suppose that being in jail for six months does restrict a person’s freedom of speech. The best way to avoid that is to obey the law. Although the law allows only certain items of business to be discussed in private, it also con-

tains a glaring loophole: Elected officials can receive legal advice from an attorney behind closed doors on any subject. The Pilot Point City Council routinely takes advantage of this loophole, conducting closed telephone conferences with its attorney on subjects that normally would have to be discussed in public. The council never takes any action after these closed telephone conferences, which is an indication that their real purpose is to discuss what should be public in private. In contrast, public business up the road in Cross Roads is wide open. Even the monthly administrative staff meetings are open to the public. Anybody can come to the staff meetings, which in-

clude reports from all of the city’s boards; a question-and-answer session with the city attorney; and updates by city employees. Virtually every piece of business that’s before the city at a given time is discussed at the staff meetings. The Cross Roads staff meetings are open to the public because a majority of the council may attend at any given time. The meetings could probably be closed since the city attorney attends and likely gives “advice,” but Cross Roads officials open them up to anybody who wants to come. The agenda specifically states that no action will be taken by the council; that’s left for formal council meetings. The Town of Cross Roads also

has a number of active citizen boards, and they all meet on a regular basis. The times and dates of their upcoming meetings are all listed on the agenda of the administrative staff meeting. All agendas also are posted on the town’s website. Imagine that! The public’s business is conducted in public. Anybody who wants to know what’s going on in Cross Roads can find out without having to jump through hoops. All they have to do is go to Town Hall for a staff meeting and listen in. I’m guessing that citizen input is also welcome. What a deal. Way to go, Cross Roads. Email: editor@postsignal.com.

My parents are concerned, too

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK, OCT. 7-13

It’s your newspaper By Ron Dzwonkowski Your newspaper will be there for you. A simple statement, but let’s break it down a bit. Your newspaper … That’s right, all yours, assembled just for you, tailored to where you live, emphasizing the things that affect you, keeping track of the people and players in your community. Your newspaper is put together by people in a newsroom that was built for you, where people work to supply information that matters to you, from the details of that crash you passed by on Tuesday to biographies of the candidates for your school board to notices of what’s on sale at your local supermarket. …will be there for you. Be where? On your porch, in your mail, at your convenience store and, yeah, sometimes in your bushes. But also at your township hall, inside your local police department, attending your city council meeting, watching your elections. It will be where you can’t, paying attention, keeping watch, asking questions, making the record public. And you can take it wherever you’re going without worrying about battery life or Wi-Fi connections.

Some say newspapers are dying, that people get their news today from the Internet, TV and radio. But where do the Internet, TV and radio get their news? From America’s newspapers, large and small, which still encompass the nation’s largest newsgathering force. Other information providers may add opinion, pictures or sound, but most of the time, the facts begin in the newsrooms of newspapers, where journalists are there for you, cultivating sources, combing through records, asking tough questions. A few generations back, TV and radio were supposed to be the death of newspapers. Instead, they were catalysts for newspapers to dig further, to offer context, analysis, perspective and storytelling that the electronic media couldn’t deliver. TV and radio didn’t kill newspapers; they made them smarter and more thoughtful. For about a generation now, the Internet has supposedly been driving newspapers into extinction. Nope. It’s just given their newsrooms another platform to deliver journalism that now includes videos, interactive graphics and access to informational archives built for years by … guess which medium? Unlike websites and bloggers,

newspapers are fixtures in their communities. Most of them were around long before personal computers and smart-phone apps, chronicling life, dissecting trends and exposing things that needed some air. And unlike less-established media, their newsrooms operate with standards and ethics intended to assure the credibility of the information they deliver. They don’t just make the record; they protect it, too. It’s a responsibility, a trust, a duty. While newspapers and their newsrooms have always broken stories, the Internet has now enabled them to cover breaking news, too, with reporting that goes directly up online — just as soon as it meets those newsroom standards. So the evolution continues. But the mission remains the same: To be there. For you. Because it’s your newspaper. Ron Dzwonkowski is associate editor of the Detroit Free Press. This column was distributed by Newspaper Association Managers (NAM) in observance of National Newspaper Week, Oct. 7-13. NAM has sponsored National Newspaper Week since 1940.

My parents’ generation timed it just right. Born in the thick of the Great Depression, they were taught from an early age how to pinch a penny. Though they were little at the time, they experienced the sacrifices of World War II. My father was drafted and served two years in the Army during the Korean War. By the time my parents married in 1956, America was on its way. Like many TOM couples of the Silent Generation, they PURCELL were filled with confidence and optimism that the world was secure and the American economy would prosper. It prospered beyond anyone’s wildest imagination for the next five decades. My father never expected to live a long life. His father died at 34. His mother died at 69. My father didn’t expect to make 70. So when he had an opportunity to retire at 60, after 37 years of 60-hour weeks, he took it. He was able to do so, in part, because his Social Security benefits would supplement his retirement income. He’s 79 now, retired for nearly 20 years, and he is saddened by the mess our country is in. America’s massive debt, deficit and spending worry him. How will younger generations foot the bill? What will the country be like for his kids and grandkids long after he is gone? Will they ever get to enjoy the sort of retirement he’s still enjoying? The answer is probably “no” for most of us. It’s simple demographics. My mother and father entered the world with little and acquired more in wealth and good fortune than they ever would have asked for. After World War II, as politicians established a number of entitlement programs, the costs were initially sustainable. The population was growing. The economy was growing. And so the politicians kept on promising and spending and, for the most part, all was well. Until the collapse of 2008. America is broke now. We are producing about $1 trillion less in government receipts than we are in government expenditures. We need massive growth to meet our obligations but our growth rate is anemic. Medicare and Social Security are two big reasons for our indebtedness. The average Medicare recipient’s benefits are well in excess of $100,000 more than he or she paid in. It is the younger generations that are footing the bill for these costs. Anyone with basic math skills can see that these programs’ future is not looking so good. Their costs are soaring so rapidly that there are not enough working young people, or tax revenue, to cover them. That certainly isn’t my parents’ fault. They worked hard. They contributed to their country and community. Still, my parents timed their American experience just right. They had a fantastic run at a fantastic time in American history. And they worry that if America doesn’t get its affairs in order, their kids and grandkids may never enjoy the sort of golden years that they have been so blessed to enjoy.

By Richard Greene Managing Editor James Hilliard always knew what was on Misty Williams’ mind. Williams worked for Hilliard at Clark’s Outpost in Tioga for more than nine years. She recently left for the upcoming birth of a new child. “She was outspoken and always spoke her mind,” Hilliard said. “She was a good girl. Loved her son. She put her 14-year-old first. “It’s a comfort to her family knowing where she is. Her and her [unborn] child are in the grace of God.” Williams, 31, of Tioga

and her unborn child died Tuesday morning in a threevehicle accident on U.S. 377 near Emberson Chapel Road and the Buck Creek Access Point to Ray Roberts Lake. She was taking her boyfriend, John Cothrin, to work when her vehicle was hit head-on by a vehicle driven by Christie Swinney of Celina. Williams’ vehicle was struck a second time by an SUV driven by Lisa Lemoine of Collinsville. Hilliard said Williams’ doctor had ordered bed rest for her. The baby was due Oct. 21. “In three weeks, the baby would’ve been here,” Hilliard said. “I took all

the baby furniture this afternoon and put it into our storage building.” Williams and Cothrin had been together for the last several years and were “head over heels in love,” according to Hilliard. Cothrin was transported to Denton Presbyterian. Hospital after the wreck. He underwent surgery Wednesday morning and has been released. Williams’ 14-year-old son, Jeffrey, is a freshman at Tioga. Tioga ISD Superintendent Charles Holloway said the staff and classmates are helping him out. “He’s doing remarkably well,” Holloway said. “He’s a strong young man. We

Tackett said the accident is still under investigation. Tioga, Pilot Point and Collinsville firefighters responded to the accident, along with two medical helicopters that landed in the field to the east of U.S. 377. The accident closed down the roadway for several hours, backing up traffic in both directions.

Counties lift burn bans By Richard Greene Managing Editor Rains over the weekend produced enough moisture to end the burn ban in Denton and Grayson counties. Denton County officials lifted the ban Monday. Grayson County’s ban expired Tuesday without an extension. A little more than an inch of rain fell over the area between Friday and Monday. Denton County Fire Marshal Jody Gonzalez said the slow soaking brought “a little green up” in vegetation. “It gives us a little reprieve to let people burn for two weeks, and we’ll re-

evaluate,” Gonzalez said. The Denton County ban had been in place since July 28. Before last week’s rain, the area was experiencing a moderate drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. In the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, which measures the moisture in the soil and the wildfire danger, the county was at an average of 701; 700 to 800 is the top range. The average Wednesday was 627. Gonzalez is hopeful that seasonable rains continue and the wildfire danger continues to subside. A strong cold front is expected to

push through the area Friday, dropping temperatures to 40s at night and highs to the 50s and 60s over the weekend. There is also a chance for rain. “We’re to that time of year where we should be getting rain,” Gonzalez said. “History shows that we don’t usually have burn bans in October and November.” Denton County averages more than 4.5 inches of rain in October. Those planning controlled burns are required to register with Denton County at its website or by calling 940-349-2840.

also have a strong freshman class. It’s one of the assets of being a small school everyone knows everyone. Everyone is friends and are trying to help out.” Hilliard said that’s a quality of the Tioga community, and it will rally around the family. “They have a lot of family and friends, and the community is very supportive,” Hilliard said. “They are like family to us.” It’s a family that’s now without a voice. “She’s going to be sorely missed,” Hilliard said. “Everyone is shook up.

Cancer survivor: ‘Don’t be afraid’

Continued from Page 1

“If you get even a scratch or a bite, you have no immune system. Simple things are life-threatening.” B e a l l Beall said the experience has taught her that cancer patients need to be willing to research their condition and their options. “You really have to be your own advocate, even when you have the best doctors. You’ve got to do your own research,” Beall said. “If you don’t have a medical background, get online. Don’t be so afraid of cancer that you just do whatever the doctor says without getting a second opinion.” Beall again had to act

as her own advocate when doctors planned a rigorous chemotherapy regimen that included adriamycin, a drug known for its serious side effects. “They call it the Red Devil,” said Beall. “Adriamycin can cause heart disease. You [could] end up needing a heart transplant up to 20 years after you take it. It can also cause a very aggressive leukemia.” Beall wanted to weigh the risks of her cancer against the risks of adriamycin. Because her cancer was slow growing, she decided to stay away from the drug. “I didn’t want to take any risk that I could have the leukemia and not be there to raise my kid,” she said. “That was more important to me than an absolute guarantee the cancer wouldn’t come back. To me, the leukemia was a bigger

risk than the breast cancer.” Though Beall had to take her treatment into her own hands on more than one occasion, she said the fault does not lie with the doctors, but with the medical field in general. Doctors are instructed to prescribe a generalized standard of care to their patients and may shy away from recommending alternative treatments out of a fear of being sued. “It’s the way the medical field is now. It’s not the doctor, per se,” she said. “You have to do your own research and you have to come to them with questions because they’re going to tell you what the standard of care is. That’s what’s going to keep them from getting sued, but it’s not necessarily what’s best for you.” While Beall was battling over the course of her treatment, she was also

struggling with fatigue, illness and multiple surgeries. Even without the adriamycin, her chemotherapy was physically draining and left her “exhausted,” said Beall, a single mother to Hallie Sewell, a student at Pilot Point High School. “I’ve never felt like that before or since. You just feel like there’s poison in your body, honestly,” she said. “By the time you get home, man, you’re done. There is no cooking dinner. You’ve just got to sit down.” Even so, Beall refused to stop working at her practice through her treatment. “I certainly felt pretty lousy a lot of days. But working is easier than staying home, really,” she said. When news of her illness spread, help began pouring in from the community. Members of her church, First United Methodist of Pilot Point, cooked weekly

The rest of the Pilot Point ISD food service staff works for the district, which receives a credit from the company for the employees’ salaries. Gist pointed out that ARAMARK’s arrival coincides with new USDA standards for the National School Lunch program. To meet the requirements, schools must offer both fruits and vegetables each day, increase whole grain offerings, offer only fat-free or low-fat milk offerings, limit calories and portions, and reduce the amount of saturated fat, trans fats and sodium in foods. “With the new standards, it was the right time to go out and hire someone,” Gist said. ARAMARK and the district had to submit a menu

to the state for the first 21 days of the school year. That menu expired last Tuesday, making room for the new offerings. With the addition of new items like sweet and sour chicken and General Tso’s chicken with vegetables, Tredennick said the focus is on preparing fresh foods. “We’re making a lot more recipes from scratch,” he said. “They were more of a heat and serve before. We’re trying to prepare fresh products more often.” Students get plenty of choices as they move through the lunch line. Menus list up to 12 foods each day. On most days, Tredennick said, six to eight of those will be offered. Gist hopes students and parents enjoy the district’s new flavor.

Continued from Page 1 full-time city administrator. “I’m totally in support of a city administrator or manager,” Hammett said. “It’s been needed for a long time. “Aubrey has never had a city manager or administrator. The mayor is in charge and answers every question and makes every purchase order. If we had a city administrator, maybe the mayor wouldn’t have as many day-to-day responsibilities.” The city hired Isaac Linton in July as city secretary. Linton has a degree in public administration and previously worked as assistant director of the Justin Economic and Community Development Corporations. Hammett and council members Roy Magno and Janet Meyers favor Linton growing into the role of city administrator. “At the end of the day, it’s the direction the city needs to go,” Magno said. “It’s a good time to have someone whose whole focus is the city of Aubrey. It’s a natural progression, and we’re heading in that direction. “Isaac has the skill set

and the demeanor to do a good job at it.” Meyers said: “What I like about Isaac is he has a vision and goal for where the city needs to go.” But Meyers is undecided about ending the mayor’s salary with or without a new city administrator. “That would put a layer between most of the city management and the mayor, but it doesn’t take away any of the responsibility,” Meyers said. “I would want to see how it went, and if [the mayor] still had the same demands, I’d like to it continue. “I don’t think any of us realize how much work the mayor job is. When we go home after a council meeting, the mayor has to come in every day. For the small sum he makes, he earns every penny.” Magno disagrees. He wants the salary to end no matter what. “The mayor salary needs to go,” he said. “That $10,000 could go for 2 percent raises for every employee. “Fundamentally, it’s a volunteer role. I see it as an unnecessary expense.”

dinners to keep Beall and Hallie fed. Friends took Beall to football games in their RV so she could rest while waiting to see her daughter perform with the band. A benefit was held in Aubrey to raise money and support for Beall. “I had so much support in the community,” said Beall. “There’s so many good people in the world.” Accepting the help wasn’t easy at first, she said, but she learned how to do it. “I learned during cancer

to accept help from people,” she said. “Let people help you. That’s a gift you’re giving them when you let them help you because they want to help. But they don’t know what to do unless you ask them.” Beall also relied on the help of a higher power. “Faith has really gotten me through this and my faith is so much stronger,” she said. “That’s so much a part of me. My faith just grew so much going through all of that.”

Health Notes By Tommy Axtell, R.Ph.

Treating Colds in Young Children

Many OTC cough and cold medications have recently been withdrawn from the market because there is insufficient data to show they are effective, and their misuse (often unintentional) has led to serious adverse effects and even death. Non-drug therapies are now recommended for initital treatment of cough and congestion, plus use of acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever of discomfort. Parents/caregivers should understand the differences between various product formulations (i.e., liquid acetaminophen preparations vary in concentration), and the importance of using a calibrated measuring device - not a household teaspoon. To help a child feel better until a virus runs its course: Relieve a stuffy nose by thinnning the mucus using unmedicated saline nose drops or spray. Clear a baby’s nose with a suction bulb. Use a cool-mist humidifier in the child’s room and clean it often. Prevent dehydration by making sure the child drinks plenty of fluids. He may prefer clear liquids and not feel like eating if he is congested. Call a doctor for symptoms in a child under 3 months, a fever over 24 hours in a child under 2 years, or if the child has ear pain, severe sore throat, or symptoms that don’t improve within 10 to 14 days. Ask our compounding professionals about flavored, customized dosage forms for children.

AROUND TOWN Aubrey to get nutty during 27th festival

Aubrey’s 27th Annual Peanut Festival will be on Saturday at the downtown parade grounds, located at 301 S.

Today, the festival is meant to honor the area’s agricultural heritage. The festival will begin at 10 a.m. with a parade featuring floats, tractors, antique cars, wagons, riding horses and marching bands that will find its way through downtown Aubrey. The festival also will include gunslingers, a peanut butter sandwich-eating contest, the Side Street Circus, a performance by Apex Tumbling and Cheer, a peanut-spitting contest and much more. A horseshoe tournament is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. Trophies will be awarded to the top three teams. All entries in the city’s “What do YOU See?” photo contest will be judged during the festival. Judges will select first, second and third place winners in the youth and adult divisions. Contest winners will be announced between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Information on the Peanut Festival can be found online at www. aubreypeanutfestival.com or by calling 940-343-1313.

Heather Tipton/The Post-Signal

Gray skies, rain cast shadow over Greenfest By Heather Tipton Staff Writer Greenfest on the Greenbelt made its debut Saturday, despite the gloomy weather. “It’s a shame because Texas doesn’t get a lot of rain,” said Judi Heath, who sat under a picnic awning to keep dry. “Whenever there’s a function, it rains.” Greenfest was a daylong celebration of the Greenbelt, which is a corridor of trails, wetland and

green space that runs from below the lake dam off FM 455W south to U.S. 380. Event planners lined up vendors, storytellers, pony rides, bounce houses, a rock-climbing wall, live music and many more interactive activities for festival goers, but unfortunately the weather put a slight damper on the event. “I think we would’ve had just a tremendous turnout had the

weather been what we’d hoped because we did pretty well despite the conditions,” said Richard Rogers, chairman of the Greenbelt Alliance, the group that conceived of the idea for Greenfest. Rain didn’t keep everyone from enjoying the day, however. Mike Thompson and his family donned ponchos and made the drive from Dallas to attend. Greenfest also drew people from Gunter, Denton, and surrounding cities.

“The fact that we had so many people show up who weren’t preregistered was very encouraging,” said Rogers. “I feel like if we would’ve had a sunny day it would’ve been a blockbuster.” By 6 p.m., two hours earlier than event organizers had planned, some vendors and activity tents began packing up their sites when temperatures dropped and the wind began to kick up. “It’s too bad,” said Don Cross, a

member of the Greenbelt Alliance. “They’ve got a nice thing for a lot of people here and the weather messed them up.” Rogers said that Greenfest could become an annual celebration, if the weather cooperates. “This is something that people like and have enough encouragement to try it again,” he said. “This is Texas. It doesn’t rain all that much, so the odds are in our favor I’d say.”

Bonnie, Clyde to rob again during festival Bonnie and Clyde Days, Pilot Point’s Depressionera themed festival, is Saturday, Oct. 13 at the downtown Square. The festival is named for the famed bank-robbing duo that made their way through several small Texas towns during the 1930s. While Bonnie and Clyde never robbed a bank in Pilot Point, the city was chosen as a filming location for the 1967 film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. The festival “showcases an important part of the town’s past here in that we were chosen as a filming location for a major motion picture,” said Main Street Director Jeremy Sander. “It gives us something unique that we can rally around.” The festivities will begin at 9 a.m. when the Homemade Market opens on The Square and the classic car show gears up on Walcott St. A parade featuring Model A cars, horses, wagons and more will leave St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church at 9:30 a.m. and will make its way to The Square by 10 a.m. The day’s events will include a variety of draws for Pilot Point residents and out-of-towners alike, said Sander.

“We want the festival to grow,” he said. “We did a good job of getting people from here in town to come to it but we want it to grow and encourage people from D e n t o n , M c K i n n e y, a l l around to come to it.” It will include live music throughout the day, performances by Pilot Point High School’s cheerleading and volleyball teams, gymnastic performances, a pie-eating contest, and a Speakeasy Beer Garden for the 21-and-up age set. The namesake of the festival comes at noon with a reenactment of a scene from the Hollywood movie “Bonnie and Clyde,” which was filmed on location at the Farmer’s and Merchant Bank Building. The Pilot Point Community Opera House will hold a talent show t h r o u g h o u t t h e d a y, beginning at 1 p.m. The Second Annual Soapbox Challenge, organized by Pilot Point cabinetmakers, will also begin at 1 p.m. in front of the Pilot Point Community Library. Activities on The Square will wrap up by 5:30 p.m. and the Speakeasy Beer Garden will remain open until 8:30 p.m. —Heather Tipton

A Sacred Trust One of the greatest privileges we enjoy as American citizens is the opportunity to vote for our public offi cials. Estimates are that some 17 million of those who consider themselves “evangelical” in their faith failed to vote in the 2008 presidential election. The Lord knows we are not electing a pastor, but we have a sacred trust in the vote we cast that impacts the highest offi ce in our land. Evangelicals are described as “a protestant Christian movement that takes the Bible seriously and believes in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.” Sometimes Christians are criticized in political seasons as being one or two issue voters at best. That is, we cast our vote for those candidates who hold conservative, Biblical values on one or two issues. How can we do otherwise? When the sanctity of life both born and unborn is ignored through legalized abortion (including the most barbaric of procedures), and the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman is not upheld, but considered only one kind of marriage, we dare not ask God

to bless America. The traditional family unit is a building block of civilized society. These Biblical values are not arbitrary or subject to interpretation. For those who vote according to their “pocketbook” (what personally benefits them the most), please do not do so at the cost of your Christian conscience. I encourage all who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ to vote according to the values of sacred scripture, The Holy Bible. With a “fi rm reliance on Divine Providence,” our Founding Fathers pledged their “lives, fortunes, and their sacred honor” to create America. They did their part. Now it is our turn. The least we can do is: Pray for the upcoming election, prepare by registering to vote and encouraging others to do the same, and then participate by voting according to Biblical values. This is my personal view as an imperfect follower of Jesus Christ, Rev. John Henry Theisen, Senior Pastor www.midwaychurch.org

Building a winner Cabinetmakers prepare cars for soap box races

“It’s great for the kids, but us old people enjoy it too. We have a lot of fun with it.” Buster Chandler

Lead Organizer, Soap Box Challenger

By Heather Tipton Staff Writer Cabinetmakers are again converging on Pilot Point for the second annual Soapbox Challenge. The now annual event will be part of the city’s Bonnie and Clyde Days celebration on Oct. 13. The soapbox derby racing tradition hails from Dayton, Ohio, where the first Soapbox Derby was held in 1933. Buster Chandler of Chandler Cabinets, a veteran racer himself, began the tradition last year as a way to get kids involved with Bonnie and Clyde Days and to introduce the community to their local cabinet shops. “I’ve always wanted the cabinet shops to get more recognition in town,” Chandler said. “We’re always involved, but no one really sees us. I thought, ‘Let’s let the citizens of Pilot Point know who we are. Let them know who we are personally.’” Last year’s races drew 400 to 500 spectators, and Chandler hopes this year’s event will be even bigger. “Between the two classes I’m expecting to have 50 cars,” he said. Chandler attributes the event’s growth and success to the partnership he has with the other cabinet shops in Pilot Point and surrounding cities. “We’ve all known each other most of our lives,” said Chandler. “We’ve worked together at different jobs in different times in our lives so it’s not hard to call people and tell them what we’re doing. Everybody’s been on board with it all along.” Each shop donated the same amount of money to the event, “so everyone’s been equally involved,” said Chandler.

“Each shop has a certain job on race day,” he continued. “We’re probably going to have somewhere between 40 and 50 people working that race, between security, people returning cars from one end to the other, officials, timing the cars, starting people…It takes a lot of people.” The reward for all of that hard work is the chance to earn bragging rights. Each shop can enter as many cars as they like in the race, in either the stock or the modified class. This year, trophies will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners in each class. Each participant will receive a medallion and a panel of judges will choose the best-looking car out of the bunch. Last year’s winners, Richard Worthey of Legendary Custom Woodworks and Countertops in Sanger will return this year for a chance to defend his title. “[Worthey] is my nephew and I taught him how to built cabinets years ago,” recalled Chandler. “He and I are close. I talked him into doing it and he comes from Sanger and outruns me.” Chandler hopes one of his three cars can win it all this year though. “We say it’s all for the kids,” he said. “It’s great for the kids, but us old people enjoy it too. We’re all competitive people. We have a lot of fun with it.” Races begin at 1 p.m. on Washington Street. Coby Chandler tinkers with “Pink Thunder,” one of the cars that will compete for Chandler Cabinets of Pilot Point.

Cats stop Callisburg Pilot Point takes 5-2A opener

Pilot Point wide receiver Jacob Lock sprinted away from Callisburg’s Rheyce Childress during the Bearcats’ 20-7 victory over the Wildcats Friday. David Lewis/The Post-Signal

Pilot Point, Boyd battle for lead By Richard Greene Managing Editor Entering District 5-2A Division I play last week, Bowie and Callisburg held perfect records. Both fell in the league openers. The Pilot Point Bearcats ended Callisburg’s unbeaten streak, while the Boyd Yellowjackets stung Bowie for its first loss. Now, the Bearcats and Yellowjackets will tangle in a battle for first place and, more importantly, a big leg up in the race for a playoff berth. It’s not lost on them. “Whoever gets this game will have a decent foothold in the district,” said Boyd coach Brandon Hopkins. “To get wins over Bowie and Pilot Point would be big for us.” Pilot Point coach Rob Best added: “The winner of this game would be 2-0 and have two of the tougher teams in the district behind them. It’s a huge game in that aspect.” Pilot Point (4-1, 1-0) and

The Bearcats rebounded from their lone loss Sept. 21 to Aubrey with a solid victory last week over Callisburg. The Pilot Point defense held Callisburg’s explosive Clay McKenzie in check, while the offense unleashed the passing game for a season high in yards and a pair of touchdowns. “It was a great win and the kids played extremely well,” Best said. “We executed well offensively and defensively. “That first district win is huge. It puts you in the position where you are not playing catch-up the rest of

the way.” Pilot Point players know they have to put that win behind them quickly as they head to Boyd to play in a stadium where the home has lost only once in three seasons. The lone loss came this season to Godley, 27-14. “It’s a tough place to play, especially driving that far,” said Pilot Point linebacker Beau Ewton. “This is going to be a tough game. They are better than Callisburg. They beat us last year 62-14.” I t ’s a m u c h d i f f e r ent Boyd team that the Bearcats will face Friday. Last year, the Yellowjackets relied on school-record setting quarterback Jared Cate to get the ball out to receivers Abe Moreno and Chasen Starnes. T h i s y e a r, B o y d i s grounded using the legs of running back Fino Cardona to guide the offense. The junior tailback enters Friday with 821 yards on 109 carries with 11 touchdowns.

“He’s in the same category as McKenzie,” Best said. “He’s got great quickness and we’ll need more than one person on him at a time.” Pilot Point will be without its leading tackler, middle linebacker Fred Roman. Ewton will slide to the middle of the defense in his spot. “I’m comfortable there,” Ewton said. “I’ll play wherever the team needs me.”

On tap Pilot Point (4-1, 1-0) vs Boyd (3-2, 1-0) 7:30 p.m. at Yellowjacket Stadium Pilot Point: Harris Rating 209 (23rd in Class 2A Division I) Notable: Quarterback Travis Garrett has rushed for 500 yards and thrown for 460 in five games with 10 touchdowns. Boyd: Harris Rating 201 (37th in Class 2A Division I) Notable: Boyd running back Fino Cardona is averaging 7.53 yards per carry with 821 yards and 11 touchdowns.

By Richard Greene Managing Editor Callisburg’s potent quarterback Clay McKenzie ran through the Wildcats’ four non-district opponents, averaging more than nine yards per carry and 150 yards per game. The Pilot Point Bearcats never allowed McKenzie to get loose Friday, holding him to 63 yards rushing and nearly shutting the Wildcats out completely in a 20-7 victory at Massey Stadium. The Bearcats (4-1, 1-0) rebounded from their first loss to Aubrey and handed Callisburg (4-1, 0-1) its first setback of the year. More importantly, Pilot Point started its six-week run in District 5-2A Division I with a victory. “Rest of the district is going to be worried about us now,” said Pilot Point defensive lineman Beau Ewton. The Pilot Point defense held the Callisburg offense that came into the game averaging 281 yards rushing to 98 yards on the ground. The Wildcats finished with 233 yards with McKenzie throwing for 125, completing nine of his 18 attempts. Callisburg scored with 3:02 remaining on a fourthdown pass from McKenzie to Rheyce Childress. They spoiled Pilot Point’s bid for the shutout, but not the night for the Bearcats. “The defense did a great job, especially in the first half, holding them to two first downs,” said Pilot Point coach Rob Best. “The defensive line did a great job. The perimeter people did a great job. McKenzie is a great football player. You saw that in the second half, he got started a little bit. But the first half, he never could get started.” The Pilot Point defense gave McKenzie no breathing room in the first half, tackling him for losses on five of his six carries. He finished the half with minus 10 yards. “We followed the game plan our coaches gave us,” Ewton said. “We were all doing what we were supposed to.” The Pilot Point offense behind quarterback Travis Garrett nearly equaled the defense’s performance in the first half. The Bearcats scored on their first two possessions with Garrett com-

pleting his first five passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. His 50-yard connection with Tristan Jurecka on the opening drive put the Bearcats at the Callisburg 10-yard line. Jurecka scored from five yards out two plays later. Garrett’s 37-yard strike to Mason Richey moved Pilot Point back in Callisburg territory on the second drive. He connected with Creed Bright for a 22-yard score to make it 14-0 Pilot Point less six minutes into the game. “They are a one-highsafety team. We ran four verticals early and Travis did a nice job of looking the safety off and finding the seams,” Best said about the early passing game. Pilot Point went up three scores in the final minute of the half. Richey pulled down a Garrett pass from seven yards out in the end zone to make it 20-0. Garrett finished with season-best 198 yards passing, completing 15 of his 20 attempts with two interceptions. “Before the game, we put in a bunch of good plays and we thought we’d be able to the throw the ball against them,” Garrett said. “Everything fell into place.” Pilot Point 20, Callisburg 7

Chasing a second chance Pilot Point seniors hope for return to state cross country meet By Richard Greene Managing Editor Mitch Mendoza recalls toeing the starting line for the University Interscholastic League’s cross country championships in Round Rock as a freshman alongside the state’s top runners. “It was exciting,” Mendoza said. “It was the first time I did anything that big in high school.” Three years later, Mendoza and fellow senior Matthew Boerner are the two holdovers from Pilot Point’s team to run at the state meet in 2009. The duo is hopeful this year’s team can make a return trip to Round Rock. “I feel we’ve got a good shot,” Mendoza said. “We’ve got a good group of guys that all want it. We just want to get that experience again in high school. Not many people get to state twice.” Pilot Point coach Jeff Price led the then Class 2A Bearcats to the state

meet and a 12th-place finish. Mendoza turned in the team’s second-best time, finishing 71st in 18:27 on the three-mile course. Boerner served as an alternate on the team. “They were big-eyed freshmen,” Price recalled. In 2010 and ’11, Pilot Point found itself in Class 3A with one of the state’s top teams–Sanger–and another strong team from Argyle. The Bearcats failed to get out of district both years. “It was tough running against Argyle and Sanger,” Boerner said. “They practice all year. We’re a smaller school, and we’re focused on other sports.” In February, the announcement came that Pilot Point would return to Class 2A. “When we dropped back to 2A, you could see their excitement,” Price said about the seniors. Mendoza and Boerner used that excitement as fuel throughout summer

workouts. “We practiced all summer at 6 in the morning,” Boerner said. “We wanted to keep all the guys focused and get the opportunity to get back [to state]. “I tried to get some extra runs in, sometimes running six to eight miles per day to get better and be able to get out of district and regionals.” The extra work has paid off so far for Mendoza and Boerner. The two finished third and fourth over the weekend in the 3A-and-under race at the Kennedale Invitational. Mendoza turned in an 18:29 for third. Boerner finished right behind him in 18:44. As important as their performance for the Bearcats has been, the two seniors have also given the team their leadership. Price said they are the leaders pushing the rest of the team. “They are like two assistant coaches,” Price said. “They don’t want the guys to take a day off. They are making Continued on Page 15

Making a stand

Chaps stop Sanger rally at goal line By David Hausman Contributing Writer With the game on the line, the Aubrey Chaparrals’ defense made a stand Friday. The Chaparrals held Sanger out of the end zone on four tries from inside the 5-yard line to preserve a 16-14 victory. “Our defense has been great all year, and they were again tonight,” said Aubrey coach Mike Segleski. While clinging to the two-point lead in the third quarter, Aubrey quarterback Kyle Lynn was hit as he was throwing the ball. The ball popped up and into the hands of the Indians’ Dalton Hassell, who raced 50 yards to the Aubrey 35yard line before being tackled. Aubrey was whistled for three penalties following the play, putting the ball at the 5-yard line for Sanger. The Chaparrals made stops on first, second and third down to force fourth-and-goal at the 2. Sanger elected to go for it instead of kicking the go-ahead field goal. Aubrey made Sanger pay for the decision, getting the stop on fourth down. The goal-line stand was part of an overall stellar night for the Aubrey defense. The Chaparrals limited Sanger to 116 yards — 17 rushing. Aubrey kept the Indians on skates in the second half, holding Sanger to minus 43 yards and no first downs. The Chaparrals’ defense even got on the scoreboard with Robert DeLaTorre picking off a pass and returning it 65 yards for a touchdown. “Clay Kelly tipped the ball and I reached out for it,” said DeLa- Aubrey running back Daniel Longhenry fought through Sanger defenders for a small gain Friday. David Hausman/The Post-Signal Torre about the pick. “I bounced Longhenry had one of two scores for the Chaparrals.

off one tackle on the sidelines, then cut to the middle and it was wide open for me. Tanner Buxton threw a great block to get me the rest of the way into the end zone.” The DeLaTorre score was followed by Anthony Alford’s run on the two-point try put Aubrey up 16-0. Aubrey’s first touchdown came on a 3-yard run by Daniel Longhenry to start the second quarter. Longhenry added a two-point try to give the Chaparrals an 8-0 lead. Longhenry finished with 116 yards on 22 carries. Sanger trimmed into Aubrey’s lead in the final seconds of the first half with Wyatt Broxson catching a 2-yard pass from Devin Teeters. Sanger quickly cut the deficit to two at the beginning of the third quarter. Brennon Bloom intercepted Lynn and returned the ball 70 yards for a touchdown. Aubrey turned the ball over five times, forcing the defense to hold its ground and it did. “It was an ugly win,” Segleski said. “But it was a win.” Aubrey 16, Sanger 14

Chaparrals eye third straight victory before district By Richard Greene Managing Editor The Aubrey Chaparrals have made a complete turnaround over the past two weeks. After dropping their first three games of the season, the Chaparrals took down Pilot Point and Sanger in back-to-back weeks. Aubrey can now even its record at 3-3 and keep its momentum building as they enter the District 10-3A sprint next week. The Chaparrals (2-3) get that chance at 7:30 p.m. Friday against the Fort Worth Trinity Valley Trojans (2-3) at Rosenthal Stadium. Aubrey coach Mike Segleski credits the turnaround with several key players getting healthy. He doesn’t want to see a letdown Friday in the final non-district tuneup.

“We really believe if we would have started the season with the eight starters we have been missing that we probably would be 4-1 at this point,” Segleski said. “We struggled early without them and it led us to an 0-3 start. The great thing is the kids never quit playing. It’s great for them to see that their hard work is now paying off. “We want to be on a big momentum swing when we play [Frisco] Lone Star next week. It’s a huge game for us.” After scoring the emotional win over Pilot Point Sept. 21, the Chaparrals had a bit of a letdown against Sanger. Aubrey held on with its defense making a key goal-line stand in the second half. The Chaparrals also overcame five turnovers. “We played a very flat game against Sanger,” Segleski said. “This week we know

that we have one week left before district play begins. It’s something we are discussing each day and the enthusiasm level is higher than last week.” Despite the turnovers against Sanger, Aubrey moved the football. The Chaparrals rushed for 257 yards. Anthony Alford finished with 51 yards on 11 carries. Segleski said it was good to see Alford back in the lineup and contributing. “He missed the first three games with a stress fracture on his vertebrae,” the Aubrey coach said. “It definitely set him back. But he is rounding into form and will begin to play a bigger role each week in what we are doing offensively.” The Chaparrals face another team trying to get back to .500 in Trinity Valley. The Trojans are trying to rebound from a 17-14 loss to Houston Christian.

Trinity Valley features a balanced offense led by dual-threat quarterback Austin Henyon, who has thrown for 962 yards and six touchdowns and rushed for 217 yards and seven scores. John Cleveland is Henyon’s top target, catching 18 passes for 368 yards and four touchdowns. Bo Black leads the Trojans in rushing with 307 yards. “Trinity Valley is a good football team with a lot of size,” Segleski said. “This week, we are more worried though about fixing things that we are doing wrong. We have to be ready for district play next Thursday. We must get better at what we do this week.” David Hausman contributed to this report.

Celina knocks off Lady Chaps in four Aubrey Aubrey falls, stays winless in district By Richard Greene Managing Editor The Aubrey Lady Chaparrals staved off the sweep Friday, but couldn’t rally for their first District 103A victory. Celina fought back from allowing a 6-0 run to end game three to get a sevenpoint victory in the fourth and final set. Celina won 25-21, 25-21, 24-26, 25-18. Aubrey (14-15) fell to 0-3 in district. “The same thing that hurt us as the other matches — consistency,” said Aubrey coach Joe Bullard. “It’s more of a focus thing than effort. You can’t afford to take a point off. You’ve got to go at full speed all the time.” After rallying to force the fourth game, Aubrey struggled in the final set with two errors in service receive and three service errors.

Aubrey’s Maggie McCullough dug a shot during the Lady Chaparrals’ loss to Celina Friday. Richard Greene/The Post-Signal “We get relaxed and as the team’s setter for rals’ Maggie McCullough unfocused,” said Kelsey Alex Martinez. turned in a solid allScribner. “The fourth game “Our consistency has around effort, putting we got too settled.” been off with our setter out down seven kills with six Scribner led Aubrey the past two weeks,” Scrib- blocks and one ace. with 11 kills. She also ner said. “We’re adjusting. “ M a g g i e h a s r e a l l y made two blocks. We’ve got to push through stepped up,” Bullard said. Brooke Housden doled it and fight.” “She’s averaging four to out 14 assists, taking over T h e L a d y C h a p a r - five blocks per game in dis-

trict.” McCullough’s kill and stuff block for back-to-back points brought Aubrey within a point in a tight game two. Bay Thomas followed with a block to knot the game at 21. Aubrey could not keep the momentum as a hitting error gave Celina the go-ahead point. The Lady Bobcats followed with three more to go up two games. Celina broke a deadlock at 18 in game three and built a 24-20 lead on a KJ Stastny kill. But Celina couldn’t get the final point to finish off Aubrey and the sweep. A service error, followed by McCullough’s ace, brought Aubrey within two, 24-22. Three straight hitting errors by Celina gave Aubrey the 25-24 lead. Natalie Gattuso finished off the comeback with a kill to force game four. Celina went on an 8-0 run in game four to build an 11-6 lead. Celina never allowed Aubrey within five points the rest of the way.

outlasts Princeton The Aubrey Lady Chaparrals put their struggles behind them to start District 10-3A Tuesday and knocked off Princeton in a non-district match. The Lady Chaparrals took down Princeton 25-16, 13-15, 2523, 25-10 to even their record for the season at 15-15. Aubrey coach Joe Bullard hopes the victory will spur his team on a run through the remainder of the league schedule. “We played well the first and fourth games of the match,” Bullard said. “We need to play with that type of speed and energy for complete matches the rest of the season if we want to have a chance to make the playoffs.” Paige Bisi directed the Aubrey offense handing out 25 assists. She also made 11 digs. Kelsey Scribner put down 15 kills. Maggie McCullough finished with seven, and Natalie Gattuso four. McCullough made six blocks, and Hannah Schmitz three. Kenzie Sanders, Bay Thomas and Scribner dug eight shots each.

Pilot Point tops Leonard Pilot Point setter Feliciana Reed handled the controls of the Lady Cats’ offense flawlessly Friday. Reed doled out 31 assists as the eighth-ranked Lady Cats (23-6, 6-0) rolled past Leonard to remain unbeaten midway through the District 12-2A race. Pilot Point hammered Leonard 26-16, 25-15, 25-9. “Feliciana is playing the best ball right now that I have ever seen her play,” said Pilot Point coach Becky Phillips. “She is moving to the ball more efficiently and her hands are softer than they ever have been. It’s wonderful.” With Reed distributing the ball to multiple hitters, the Lady Cats tallied 36 kills. Kirby Smith led the Lady Cats with 12 kills. AJ

Pilot Point squads bring home titles The Pilot Point Bearcats and Lady Cats cross country teams dashed through the rain to bring home titles Saturday at the Kennedale Invitational held at Vandergriff Park in Arlington. Luis Giron won the Class 3A-and-under boys race. Pilot Point’s top five runners finished in the first seven spots. The Bearcats tallied 20 points, beating second-place Mineral Wells by three points. In the girls race, Pilot Point finished with 31 points, beating the host Kennedale by 14. “We didn’t run our best times because of the rain and wet course,” said Pilot Point coach Jeff Price. “But we were not far off. It was a good meet for us.” It was second time this season for the Pilot Point squads to run on the regional course. Giron finished the 5K course in 17:44 to take first place. Mitch Mendoza came in

third in 18:29. Matthew Boerner took fourth in 18:44. Daniel Rodriguez-Lopez finished fifth in 18:50. Jose Martinez crossed the finish line in seventh in 18:51. Josh Wardle finished 14th in 19:30, Juan Carlos JuarezAguirre 16 th in 19:36, and Pablo Soto 20th in 20:09. For the Lady Cats, Mackenzie David ran the two-mile course in 13:31 to finish second to Mineral Wells’ Karessa Fowler. Lori Campbell took fourth in 13:38. Jacquie Cassell was sixth in 14 minutes, and Lexi Dawson seventh in 14:11. Allison Ray crossed the finish line as Pilot Point’s fifth runner in 14:36 for 12th. Yesenia Giron took 16th in 15:18. Pilot Point will get a preview of the District 12-2A course Saturday, running at Old Celina Park.

Bearcat seniors try for return to state

Continued from Page 10 sure all the varsity guys are running hard and not cutting the course short in practice.” Boerner said they have taken it upon themselves to hold the rest of the team accountable. “We want to make it out and get back to state,” he said. “We know we have to do our best.” They have also put their own personal accomplishments aside. Boerner said he’s encouraging some of his teammates to push to beat him in races. That’s not surprising to Price. “They are hardworking and competitive, but they understand the team concept

of cross country,” Price said. “You see that. When they finish they aren’t worried about themselves. They want to know where everyone else is.” Mendoza, Boerner and their teammates still have a pair of tune-up meets before the District 12-2A championships Oct. 24 in Celina. They will be pushing for a top three spot and regional berth Nov. 3 where they can fight for chance to return to state. While there is plenty of racing ahead of them, they already have their sights set at returning to state and making history. “If we go back to state, we want to do our best to break the school record and place better than 10th,” Mendoza said.

SPORTS ROUNDUP Bulldogs pick up second victory The Tioga Bulldogs freshman football team took down Granbury Cornerstone 44-38 last Thursday to move to 2-1 on the season.

Austin Sprabary rushed for three touchdowns and made a reception for a score. Aaron Harp, Wills Bollin, Will Young and Josh Flores turned in solid efforts on the offensive line. Blake Pierce, Josh Scalf and Michael Bidgood led the way defensively. Bearcubs eighth-grade topple Callisburg The Pilot Point Bearcubs eighth-grade football team used a safety and an 8-yard touchdown run by Taylor Barrett to beat Callisburg 10-6. Barrett also scored the team’s two-point try. Parker Hale, Carlos Giron, Gage Martin, Eqequiel Trejo and Conner Brian turned in

Tioga police receive grant

SUPER SIZE

By Richard Greene Managing Editor The Tioga Police Department will soon get a major technology upgrade. The Texas Department of Justice recently awarded the city the Edward Byrne Memorial grant worth $14,710 to pay for the purchase of in-car video systems, laptops and radars. Tioga Police Chief Carl Hudman is currently shopping for the new equipment. “I’m looking right now for the best price and vendor to provide each of the items,” he said. He hopes the new equipment will be in use later this month. Tioga competed against several other cities in the Texoma County of Governments for the grant.

“Anytime you can get grant money it’s a big deal,” Hudman said. “It helps a town with a limited tax base and limits the burden on the citizens.” Hudman praised the work of Mayor Stanley Kemp and other city officials for securing the money for the department. The new equipment will replace old and outdated computers, cameras and radars. “We’ll move into technology where we are able to run driver’s license and registration from the field like most agencies have,” Hudman said. He also said the new video system will allow the department to film all footage in the same digital format.

Tioga police Chief Carl Hudman shows one of the radar units that will be replaced.
