AMARILLO — Press Pass Sports announced their 2019 All-Press Pass Sports Girls Basketball Team last Friday, March 20. Childress’ Grace Foster and Wellington’s Kaylee Jo Neeley both earned second team distinctions.

Lady Cat Foster, 6-foot-1 junior post and Division 1 prospect, is the leader for the Childress Lady Bobcats wrote Kale Steed in the announcement. The District 8-3A Offensive Most Valuable Player and Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State selection averaged a double-double pouring in 20 points per game with 11 rebounds per game.

Lady Rocket Neeley, 6-foot senior post, served as the driving force behind another successful season for the Lady Skyrockets, on top of a district championship noted Steed. The District 2-2A MVP ended the year tallying 14 points a night to go with 6.2 board a game.

BORGER — Skyrocket baseball opened play in the 1st Annual Top of Texas Wood Bat Classic hosted by West Texas High School with a 12-0 win over Sanford-Fritch on Friday, March 13 in Borger.

In their second game of the tournament at 2 p.m. against Dalhart the same day, officials cancelled the game due to rain at the top of the third inning with Wellington ahead 15-1. The third and final game scheduled for 7 p.m. against Booker was cancelled due to weather.

In the first game against Sanford-Fritch, Adrian Orozco threw a no-hitter to lead the Skyrockets past the Eagles 12-0.

Gavin Wood drove in four runs going 2-for-2 at the plate. Wood drove in runs on a triple in the first and a single in the fourth. The Rockets got on the board in the first inning when Wood tripled on the first pitch of the at bat, scoring three runs.

Wellington tallied six runs in the second inning as Orozco, Marc Ramirez, Creed Riley and John Ramirez all drove in runs.

Orozco earned the win for his team surrendering zero runs on zero hits over four innings, striking out eight and walking zero.

Hunter led things off on the mound for Sanford-Fritch. He al-lowed 17 hits and 12 runs over four innings, striking out two.

The Skyrockets had 17 hits in the game. Rowdy Duncan, Mason Folk, Wood, Riley, M. Ramirez and J. Ramirez each had multiple hits for Wellington. Folk and Duncan each collected three hits to lead the Rockets. Sure-handed, the Skyrockets didn’t commit a sin-gle error. Creighton Killian made the most plays with eight.

In the second game against Dalhart, Killian served as winning pitcher with the 15-1 score as the game was called early due to rain.

The score was 15-1. At the top of the third inning, the Wolves were at bat with their bases loaded. Killian had walked two players and one hit towards right field. Bases stayed loaded as officials called the game due to the rain.

Rockets take two more wins

Skyrockets Creed Riley, Adrian Orozco, Mason Folk and Creighton Killian encourage each other during the cold rain at Borger where they defeated Sanford-Fritch 12-0 then Dal-hart 15-1 before officials called the second game at the top of the third inning due to rain. Wellington is 5-0 on the season. (Courtesy Photos)

Wellington’s Adrian Orozco moves from pitcher in the no-hit-ter game against Sanford-Fritch to catcher for the afternoon game where the Rockets stopped Dalhart before the game was called due to wet weather.

She participated in the 2019 Fort Worth Stock Show Calf Scramble program, making her eligible for the scholarship program. Seventy-two youth shared in $390,000 in Calf Scramble scholarship dollars.

Rabe, a member of Childress County 4-H, is the daughter of Dale and Lori Rabe. This is the second year she exhibited a scramble heifer.

“She not only raises her ani-mal but reports monthly to her sponsors regarding the prog-ress of her project,” Lori Rabe said. “We are proud of her for completing her project and winning a scholarship!”

Rabe’s scholarship was the result of the hard work and dedication necessary for par-ticipants to complete in the rigorous Calf Scramble pro-gram, according to a release from the Fort Worth Stock

Show & Rodeo. The moment they caught a calf during a 2019 Stock Show rodeo per-formance their Calf Scramble journey began.

These youth utilized Stock Show funds toward the pur-chase of a calf they cared for in 2019, and they exhibited at this year’s livestock show, the release said. Rabi’s Shorthorn heifer project was sponsored by Travis and Juhree Vaughn and Greg and Lori Stallcup of Windthorst, Texas.

Besides showing their heif-er, monthly reports and a final essay were required to remain eligible for scholarship consid-eration. Meeting shortly after

the 2020 Show, the Schol-arship Committee awarded Rabe her scholarship.

“The scramble project teaches accountability, respon-sibility and networking to the 4H and FFA exhibitors like Savannah,” Lori Rabe said.

Sponsors for Rabe’s schol-arship are B&B Butchers & Restaurant, FIREBIRD-TARGETS.COM, Isom Financial of Raymond James, K.L. Breeden & Sons, Mer-eken Land & Production Co., Bill and Pat Russell, South-western Exposition and Live-stock Show and Vic and Carla Thompson Memorial Schol-arship Trust.

In her own wordsEditor’s note: Savannah Rabe wrote about her experi-ence that led to winning a $4,000 scholarship by the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo’s Calf Scramble Schol-arship Committee.

I am Savannah Rabe from Childress, and I am a member of the Childress County 4-H and FFA Chapter.

On Jan. 27, 2019, I caught a calf during the Fort Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo performance to officially start my journey in the 2019-2020 Calf Scramble. This year my sponsors were Travis and Juhree Vaughn and Greg and Lori Stallcup of Windthorst, Texas.

I was given a certificate immediately after catch-ing the calf at the performance to cover $500 of the purchase price of my heifer. The search for my heifer had begun. I looked all over the nation to find my project for the 2019-2020 show year.

I found my heifer in Winnsboro, Texas, and I bought her from Ed and Mary McCutcheon. The first thing I noticed on her little red body was the giant white “U” marking on her forehead. I knew her name was going to start with a “U” be-cause of that, but I had so much trouble finding a name that fit this spunky little heifer.

I had many suggestions such as: Unicycle, Um-brella and Ursula. I finally decided on Umi. Over the past year, Umi and I have become best buds even though we do push each other’s buttons sometimes. To prepare her for the showring, I had to halter break her, introduce her to the wash rack and the blow dryer and teach her how to respond to a show stick.

All while doing this, I was keeping records of her feed expenses and vaccinations along with her progress to report to my sponsors. This year, Umi and I competed at the Tri-State Fair in Amarillo, the Childress County Livestock Show, the Fort Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo and the San Angelo Livestock Show and Rodeo.

We were planning to compete in the Houston

Livestock Show, but due to the threat of COV-ID-19 the show was cancelled. We were already in the barn when we received the call to get out. It was a madhouse, and there were many heartbro-ken exhibitors.

I am grateful to have the chance to be able to compete again in the Houston Livestock Show, but many exhibitors will not have that chance ever again in their lifetime. I learned two very impor-tant things this year with my project.

Number one, patience. Umi and her little spunky self taught me to be patient even when I wanted to break. I had to stay patient and calm while teaching her to lead and to respond to the show stick.

Number two, how to make time. Many days I was in the gym for basketball until about 5:30 in the evening. It was hard to make it out to the arena before it was dark, but I managed to always find a way. I spent many hours with Umi in the pasture and at shows.

It amazes me how much of a personality a cow has and how unique each one is. Umi is a feisty little cow, but when you get to know her she is super sweet.

All of this would not be possible without my amazing grandfather Larry Jones. He helps me make sure my heifer is fed every day and in good health. He makes sure I am keeping her up to date on her vaccinations. He is always willing to help with anything and everything. I could not do this without him.

I would also like to thank my ag teachers and my parents for helping me with this project. I am excited to receive a scholarship for my achieve-ments this year. This scholarship will help me fur-ther my education in the near future.

Finally, I would like to thank the Fort Worth Livestock Show Calf Scramble Committee for organizing this event for us exhibitors. I love showing animals, and I am very grateful for this program and these experiences.

Special to The Sun TEMPLE – The USDA

Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service (NRCS) is accept-ing proposals through May 11 for On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials now in its sec-ond year.

On-Farm Trials, part of the agency’s Conservation Innova-tion Grant (CIG) program, help support the adoption and evaluation of innovative conser-vation approaches on agricul-tural land.

“NRCS has achieved tremen-dous success seeking innovative technologies and approaches to enhance conservation for ag-ricultural producers and forest landowners for nearly 20 years,” said NRCS Acting State Con-servationist Drenda Williams. “The 2018 Farm Bill enhanced CIG by strengthening its dem-onstration component, allowing the agency to work with pro-ducers and partners to discover new conservation approaches and tools or enhance existing ones.”

NRCS will invest up to $25 million on On-Farm Trials in 2020. This total includes up to $10 million for the Soil Health Demonstration Trials (SHD) priority.

On-Farm Trials funding is designed to offer, through partners, technical and financial assistance to producers to help

compensate for any risks as-sociated with implementation of new conservation practices, systems and approaches. In ad-dition, the trials require evalu-ation of the innovative conser-vation practices, systems and approaches at the farm level, including environmental, fi-nancial and social, (to the extent possible) impacts of carrying them out.

The On-Farm Trials fund-ing announcement seeking proposals has been published on grants.gov.

NRCS is seeking proposals that address at least one of the following four On-Farm Trial main priorities:

• Irrigation Management Technologies;

• Precision Agriculture Tech-nologies and Strategies;

• Management Technologies and Strategies; and

• Soil Health Demonstration Trials.

NRCS will accept proposals

from the following eligible enti-ties:

• Private entities whose pri-mary business is related to agri-culture;

• Non-government organiza-tions with experience working with agricultural producers; and

• Non-federal government agencies.

This is the second funding opportunity for On-Farm Tri-als, authorized through the 2018 Farm Bill. In 2019, NRCS funded 16 On-Farm Trials projects. The On-Farm Tri-als component is distinct from the national CIG competitive grants funding, which is used to support early pilot projects or demonstrations of promising conservation approaches and technologies and is not typically provided directly to producers.

For more information, please visit the grants.gov fund-ing opportunity for 2020 or visit NRCS’s On-Farm Trials webpage.

The youth created edi-ble aquifers made from ice cream for the clay, crushed chocolate chip cookies for sand and gravel, crushed Oreo cookies for the top soil and Coco Krispies ce-real for the ground.

The group circled up to make a thunderstorm with different noises such as clapping, finger snap-ping, feet stomping and

leg clapping.Clover Kids Club Man-

ager Misty Youngberg di-rected the youth as they made Saint Patrick’s Day bracelets to take home before both groups joined together.

The MGCD provided the ingredients for the edible aquifer snacks and drinks to the following Clover Kids: Wyatt An-glin, Lyric Derr, Sophia Derr, Rance Fires, Benito Gonzales, Halle Hedrick, Evelyn Henard, Ava Kate Inman, Jack Inman, Miky-ela James, Ryker Killian, Jacob Page, Hadlee Patter-son, Wade Patterson, Ben Peters, David Peters, An-

LUBBOCK — It was a whirlwind to say the least for Future Farmers of America, 4-H students, educators and volunteers across Texas over the past week.

The annual Houston Live-stock Show and Rodeo, one of the state’s bigger events set to start at the NRG Arena last week, only for everyone involved to receive the news that the show was cancelled Wednes-day, March 11, announced by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner due to coronavirus con-cerns.

The news was crushing but in no way did it stop these stu-dents from showing their pigs to make sure the hard work started in September didn’t go to waste.

Immediately, educators and volunteers involved started looking for another venue to have the show.

“We tried Austin and got cancelled and then got cancelled in Fort Worth,” said Robbie Harkey of Texas Pork Produc-ers, and a volunteer from Pla-inview. “A lot of credit goes to Will Winter and Jason Lackey. Those two guys came up with the idea and made it happen for us to show at the South Plains Fairgrounds in Lubbock. We

didn’t want seniors not to be able to show.”

While folks were driving across the huge state of Texas looking for a venue, Winter, the owner of Wintex Farms in Idalou and Lackey, who owns Lackey Livestock in Haskell, secured the fairgrounds in Lub-bock.

“We spent the weekend go-ing to Tahoka, Frenship, Lit-tlefield and Levelland loading up 400 pens, and built them at South Plains Fairgrounds,” Stratford agriculture teacher Kaleb Horsford said. “We got it all set up and ready to go. With City of Lubbock concerned on big gatherings, we knew our window wasn’t going to be open long.”

The students started show-ing at 3 p.m. Tuesday, March

17 and with a tight window, the event went on for 18 hours straight, wrapping up at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, March 18. What an incredible job by everyone involved to let these students reap the payoff of a year’s worth of hard work!

The past week has been a trying time for the stock show industry. It has also brought to light the incredible future that it’s going to have. Without the unwavering dedication to the youth of Texas that Winter and Lackey, along with count-less others did this week it, the show would’ve ended in disas-ter rather than an unforgettable moment.

CHILDRESS – At approximately 8:28 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17, the Childress Police Depart-ment responded to a shooting in the 300 block of Ave C NW.

Childress Police Chief Shade Miller said Casey Joe Upton, 39 from Childress, discharged a fire-arm at Johnson Funeral Home narrowly missing two people. Upton left the scene in a white Dodge pickup prior to officers’ arrival.

A few minutes after the shooting, the vehicle was spotted at The People’s Federal Credit Union, located in the 100 block Ave. E NW, by a concerned citizen who called 911. Miller said officers lo-cated Casey in the parking lot, and he was taken into custody without incident.

Casey was charged with two accounts of aggravated assault with deadly weapon, said Childress County Sheriff Mike Pigg. He is in the Childress County jail with a bail of $300,000 set by Childress County Justice of the Peace Randy Rister.

“We’re fortunate that none of the individuals targeted by the alleged assailant were injured or hurt in this incident,” Pigg said.

Texas DPS troopers and Texas Rangers also responded and assisted with the investigation with the Childress Police Department and the Childress County Sheriff’s Office.

CHILDRESS – The Childresss City Council postponed the city council elec-

tions until November. The new election will take place on

Nov. 3, because of COVID-19. “We’re doing it for safety reasons,”

Mayor Cary Preston said. “Other towns are doing it too.”



CHILDRESS – In a 3-2 vote, the Chil-dress City Council decided there was no nepotism as it relates to the City Charter.

Councilman Mike Dietrich made the motion of a proposal to vote on his in-terpretation of Doc Smith falling under the City Charter laws on nepotism, be-cause his wife is a second cousin to May-or Cary Preston and Councilman John Preston.

Smith read a statement from Texas At-torney General Ken Paxton: “the facts you describe involve employment by an individual in the 4th degree of affinity to the applicant which is not prohibited by the state statute.”

While Councilmen Dietrich and Josh Johnson voted for the motion, Council-men Gary Clark, John Preston and Ma-rino Rodriguez voted against it.

“I’m disappointed with the outcome,” Dietrich said. “One of the big things in politics is to not even have the appear-ance of a conflict of interest.”

This was first brought up one and half years ago, Mayor Preston said. It took this long to vote on, because Dietrich was opposed and wanted to make changes to what was going to be voted on, Preston explained.

“There is no nepotism there,” May-or Preston said. “If there was nepotism there, I would be the very first one to step up and say there is nepotism here. The council agrees there is no nepotism.”

CHILDRESS – Please be aware there are several tax scams going on. People are receiving phone calls where a person, who claims to be from the IRS,

says they owe back taxes and they need to pay the owed taxes over the phone. Please do not do this, as it is a SCAM.

The caller will even go as far as saying they will call local law enforcement and have them arrested until the back taxes can be paid. We do not do that and neither does the IRS. If you do owe back taxes, then you will receive letters in the mail from the IRS.

With Texas Warrant Roundup that starts in most places in February and March, people will also receive phone calls where the caller states they are local law enforce-ment. The caller will say you have warrants and you need to pay over the phone.

However, if you have an unpaid citation with the Childress Police Department, we do not notify by phone or call wanting payment by phone. Municipal Court sends let-ters out notifying you of the warrant and how to take care of it. You can call Municipal Court at 940-937-6943 if you have any questions.

Scam warning Childress County Office of the SheriffBy Sheriff Michael (Mike) Pigg

On Feb. 20, Chief Deputy Branson arrested Adam Wiley, age 38, of Colleyville at the sher-iff’s office. He was wanted on multiple Childress County felony fraud warrants.

Later on Feb. 20, Deputy Tompkins took cus-tody of Justin Prentice, age, 37, and Tiffany Fol-ey, age 40 both of Childress from Jailer’s Monroe and Motsenbocker. They were being held in the Russell County Jail (Kansas). They were both wanted on Childress County warrants, Pren-tice, for felony and misdemeanor bond surren-ders and Foley for burglary of a habitation and a Texas parole warrant.

On Feb. 22, Deputy Gillem responded with Childress Fire, EMS and the Texas Highway Patrol (THP) to a one-vehicle roll-over crash on FM 2530 near County Road Y. A car being driv-en by Samuel Stubbs rolled after he lost control. No one was injured, but the car had to be towed because of damages.

On Feb. 26, Chief Deputy Branson impound-ed a Jeep that had been abandoned on the shoul-der of U.S. 287 approximately 11 miles west of Childress.

Later on Feb. 26, Deputy Gillem arrested Crystal Gannaway, age 42, of Childress when she turned herself in at the sheriff’s office. Gan-naway had been ordered to jail by Judge Mayen upon being convicted for allowing a minor to purchase an alcoholic beverage.

On March 5, Deputy Tompkins took cus-tody of two people who had been returned to the Childress County Jail from other county jails. Joctavian Matthews, age 27, of Childress had been returned from the Potter County Jail in Amarillo by Jailer Monroe where he was being held on a warrant for violation of misdemeanor probation; Brittainy Roberts, age 30, of Mineral Wells was returned from the Palo Pinto County Jail in Palo Pinto where she was being held for violating her felony probation. Both warrants were out of Childress County.

On March 7, Deputy Gillem arrested Rino Acosta, age 25, of Memphis at the sheriff’s of-fice. Acosta was wanted on a Childress County warrant for burglary of a habitation.

On March 13, Chief Deputy Branson took custody of three people from Jailer Angel. Jason Turk, age 44, of Ft. Worth was being housed in the Tarrant County for violation of his felony

probation; Kevin Riddle, age 35, of McKinney was being held in the Dallas County Jail and was wanted for violation of his felony probation; and Elijah West, age 20, of Denver was being housed in the Collin County Jail in McKinney and was wanted for violation of his misdemeanor proba-tion. All were wanted on Childress County war-rants.

On March 17, Deputy Gillem took custody of Aimee Bennett, age 44, of Peal-River Missis-sippi. She was being held in Louisiana on a Chil-dress County warrant for violation of her felony probation and returned to Childress by Jailer L. Branson.

On March 18, I was notified by a Childress County resident that someone had stolen the contents of some mail from their roadside mail-box. A report was taken and the case will be turned over to the U.S. Postal Inspectors Office. It is a Federal Felony to tamper with the U.S. Mail and the value of the contents is not an issue! If you are charged with mail theft, you could face up to five years in federal prison and fines of up to $250,000. It is also a crime to injure, deface or destroy any mail deposited in a mailbox.

Later on March 18, Deputy arrested Crystal Rogers, age 34, of Childress at the sheriff’s office after she turned herself in. She had been ordered to the county jail by Judge Messer to await trans-port to a rehab center in conjunction with her felony probation.

On March 19, Deputy Gillem took custody of David Luna Jr., age 44, of Altus from Jail Cap-tain Shoffner. Luna had been returned to Chil-dress from the Jackson County Jail (Altus) where he was being held on a Childress County warrant for felony bond surrender.

On March 20, Deputy Gillem took custody of Armond Pearson, age 38, of Graham, North Carolina from Chief Deputy Branson. Pearson had been returned from the Alamance County Jail (North Carolina) where he was being housed on Childress County felony warrants for bond surrender and violating his felony probation.

Well that’s all from your Childress Office of the Sheriff. I want to encourage everyone to do what we should be during this time of crisis with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; wash your hands, do not panic and something I have always loved Childress for…let’s continue to be neigh-borly and treat everyone as we would want to be treated.

Special to The Sun

WELLINGTON — Bill Owens grew up in the tiny community of Dodson in eastern Collingsworth County. He served as a staff sergeant in the com-munications platoon of the 38th Infantry Regiment assigned to the 2nd Bat-talion in the Korean War.

The platoon members lived in tents in the Tae-back Mountains of Korea. While extremely danger-ous, their vital mission was to run communication lines from the command post to forward position along the front lines.

When their squad lead-er was killed in action in April 1952, Owens re-ceived his field promotion to staff sergeant at the age of 22. Since there were

no officers in the platoon, the 22 men were bonded by duty and danger and knowing all they had were each other.

Owens was in Korea when the crease fire was announced July 27, 1953. From 1950 to 1953, 36,913 Americans died in Korea, 105,785 were wounded and 8,176 were reported as missing in action.

After the cease fire, Sgt. Owens spent another five years serving at the special weapons atomic testing site in Sandia, N.M.

Sgt. Owens served as the Post Commander of the Glynn Moore VFW Post No. 6439 in Wellington for 12 years retiring in 2016. He worked tirelessly to ensure that veterans are appropriately honored.

During the Korean Con-

flict, a number of awards honored bravery as fol-lows: Medal of Honor - 133, Distinguished Service

Cross - 972, Silver Star Medal - 12,146, Legion of Merit - 3,882, Bronze Star Medal - 85,120 – Bill and

Purple Heart - 136,913.For his service, Sgt. Ow-

ens earned a Bronze Star Medal. He can be contact-

ed at 806-204-0910. “Take pride in your Ko-

rean Service Medal,” Sgt. Owens said.

In the Wellington office of The Red River Sun at 902 West Avenue, Sgt. Bill Owens displays his Bronze Star Medal li-cense plates he recently acquired sporting his “Ike” jacket named after President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Owens planned to make the military his career but returned to Collingsworth County to farm in 1858. (The Red River Sun/Bev Odom)

Hill 983 Area Observation bunker looking north into Chinese lines, one could always tell how dangerous a position was by the size of its front firing slit and the host of devices deployed to break the momentum of an assault.

March 28, 1951 – North of Chunchon a cold mist falls, miser-able weather, waiting on A-battery cannoneers to line up in the column (with six 105s in a battery). Will move north when column is formed. Chunchon was retaken March 21, 1951. (Courtesy Photos)

Southwest of Hwachon May 19, 1951, a round from an 8-inch howitzer on a Chinese position, artillery serves as a great kill-er of Chinese and North Koreans.

P.E. 95 Power Unit bunker, a special bunker built for the pow-er units, roofed with steel beams and runway matting, heavy timber supports and layers of sandbags. Twenty-one year old Sgt. Owens of the wire section had responsibility for the op-eration, care and maintenance of the power units. Sgt. Owens commented that his commander stated there will not be a power failure at this terminal relay sight.

Nurses, a doctor and a sailor from Denmark’s hospital ship visit the area taking pictures. Sgt. Owens, front, and another appointed Sgt. welcome the group and explain the mission and operations of the relay with the group escort, officer Cpt. Moffat F.R., right.

Hill 983 Area on August 25, 1951 with a forward slope receiv-ing incoming mortar rounds, usually six or 10 fast rounds, the Chinese knew the American observer would call in a napalm drop or artillery.
