HGH has vaccine By Maria Weaver
Hamilton General Hospital has received a large supply of COVID-19 vaccine, according to Hamilton County Health Authority Dr. Randy Lee. “Our supply is improving,” he said, “and we made significant headway last week with our vaccination backlog.” Anyone wanting to get the vaccine should contact their primary care physician to get on the schedule. More than 800,000 first doses of COVID-19 vaccine were shipped to providers across Texas this week. The Texas

Author to appear at market HGH buys By Kymbirlee Jeschke
While the pandemic brought the world to a standstill, it brought time for Amy Jo Wallace to do something she had always wanted to do – write a children’s book. “It was a bucket list item,” said Wallace, who along with her husband splits time between their home in Dallas and their ranch in Evant. “I love children’s books. COVID inspired me and gave me the time to do it.” Wallace is writing a three-book series titled Adventures of a Texas Blue Heeler for elementary children ages five through eight. The books follow Gunner, a Blue Heeler, on his daily adventures while educating readers on urban recycling, conservation and pet rescue. Gunner, the inspiration behind Wallace’s books, belongs to her son who
lives in Dallas. “We shared custody especially when he was a puppy,” Wallace said. “The first book was just about the walks we took every day.” Gunner Cleans Up the Neighborhood brings awareness about litter prevention on Gunner’s daily treks through the neighborhood. “I want readers to be entertained,” said Wallace. “Litter prevention makes kids think. It’s something that as a kid they can actively do.” Gunner Rescues Daisy, the second book in the series, will be released this fall and brings awareness to pet rescue. The third book in the series, Gunner and Daisy Go to the Ranch, tells the tales of the pup’s adventures on the Wallaces’ Ranch. “It’s been quite a journey, and I’ve learned a lot about publishing,”
said Wallace, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies. “Now, I’m a children’s author.” Gunner Cleans Up the Neighborhood is available in hardcopy at most major retailers like Walmart, Target and Amazon. A paperback version containing litter prevention tips is available on Amazon only. Follow Wallace on Facebook @adventurestexasblue or online at adventurestexasblue.com. Meet Wallace this Saturday at Evant Market Days. She will be signing copies of Gunner Cleans Up the Neighborhood and will have both hardback and paperback books available for purchase. Evant Market Days kicks off Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Alongside Wallace, shoppers will find vendors with handmade scrubbies and soaps, wire art, Cookies by Nancy, Crazy

ambulance, IV pumps
Hamilton County Hospital District Board of Trustees last Wednesday approved purchase of an ambulance and 72 IV pumps, reviewed the Quality Incentive Payment Program with an attorney, ratified medical staff appointments and canceled the May 1 election. The 2018 Ford F350 AEV Type 1 ambulance will be purchased for $182,514.50, and the 72 Volumat MC Agilia Advanced stand-alone infusion pumps leased for $123,742.80 over 60 months, both financed through BancorpSouth Equipment Finance using the hospital district’s preapproved credit line. Trent B. Krienke, attorney with Reed, Claymon, Meeker and Hargett, PLLC, of Austin, reviewed the district’s QIPP plan, which is a supplemental payment program for nursing facilities that encourages them to improve the quality and innovation of their services. Board member Mike Collett complimented Krienke on his presentation. The hospital district leases the facilities, acquires their licenses, obtains new Medicaid contracts and assumes the Medicare provider numbers and agreements of the facilities. See Page 5

Letter to editor Hi Maria, We have property near Pottsville, our home away from (bustling city) home most weekends. Our dream is to live there full time, managing it as a hobby farm and fully settling into a quiet country life. We pick up the HHN at Ranglers right near our turn-off at FM218 and while I’ve debated subscribing, there is something quaint about physically pulling it out of the newstand there on Friday nights. I know you share praise for others in your paper, so I wanted to take a minute to cheer the community for their response in the face of tragedy this weekend. Last Friday was unlike any Friday night we’ve experienced in our years of commuting. We came upon an accident on 281 just south of Hico. We stopped, my husband leaping from the vehicle to check on two figures we saw milling around a smashed car. We both jumped into crisis mode, his former nurse training enabling him to properly triage the driver who was still pinned in the car. I called 9-1-1 and did my best, along with other travelers, to comfort the shaky passengers while we waited for help. Minutes later, a man in a t-shirt and cowboy hat showed up with a medical gear bag. He yelled “I’m a firefighter” and went to work with my husband, another Good Samaritan just passing through. First responders began filing onto the scene. Hico PD, Hamilton PD, Hico VFD, Hamilton VFD, the sheriff’s department and I believe even a state trooper. I have driven by accident scenes of this magnitude, but thank-
fully have never been in the thick of things. It was as if time stood still. An hour passed before successfully dislodging the man from the crumpled mess of metal. He was whisked away on life flight. I’m sure there was an equally chaotic scene at the other end of the bridge, hundreds of feet away where the other car landed. I don’t know anything about the people involved but have prayed for them every day since then. It will be a long road of healing. Like us, they may be trying to piece together the choices that led to that moment. We weren’t even going to visit our property that weekend and 281 is a route we rarely take, choosing instead to wind our way over through Cranfills Gap. In talking with other civilians helping on scene, one thing kept coming up: we all believed God put us there for a reason. I was even wearing my “be kind” t-shirt that day, a motto I try to live by but which doesn’t always get reciprocated. A handful of people proved me wrong on Friday night. I’m writing today to say “thank you” to all of the first responders, medical and law enforcement teams involved. I saw various communities come together on a mission to save lives. With so many there on a volunteer basis, it is commendable that they lend their time so selflessly to the area. I hope having to put their trauma training into action like this is a rare occurrence. With breakneck speeds and pitch black darkness on 281, it may not be. So please, also, drive safely. Our lives can change in an instant. Christy H.

Let’s talk about… Contractor scams By Karla Werkman With the warming temperatures, greening grasses and budding trees, many of us will want to end our winter hibernation by doing some home improvement projects. This is when our motivation is high and we want to tackle the big things like installing a new roof or rain gutters or having our trees trimmed or our driveway repaved. But beware! Spring brings not only bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes; in its wake are unscrupulous contractors who will knock on your door, offer to do a free inspection, and then give you the bad news… you need serious repair work. However, they will also give you the good news…they will do the work much faster, better and cheaper than any local contractor because this is the only work they do and they have a “proven system.” The Texas Department of Insurance lists a number of common contractor scams, including: A contractor asks you to sign something before giving you an estimate of repairs. You should read it very carefully and be sure it’s not
a contract or you could get stuck paying a large bill without an estimate. A contractor asks you to sign a contract with blank sections. Don’t do it. The contractor could fill in the blanks later with higher costs or different work. The contractor offers to waive your deductible or “work it into the bid.” Hire a different contractor. It’s illegal for a contractor to offer to waive a deductible or promise a rebate for it. The contractor asks for a large down payment or full payment up front. Never pay the entire bill up front and be wary if a contractor asks for a large down payment. The key to avoiding these scams is to hire a good contractor, preferably local. By hiring a local contractor, you eliminate the risk of the contractor disappearing before the work is finished, plus you keep the dollars pumping through the local economy. Talk to family, friends and neighbors – in our small town, those who do good work are well known. You can also call the Better Business Bureau or solicit recommendations from online
Ag producers qualify for low-interest loans Texas agricultural producers who lost property due to recent natural disasters may be eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture physical loss loans. Farm Service Agency offers these low-interest loans to agricultural producers in 41 counties who incurred losses caused by a winter storm that occurred Feb. 14-20. Approval is limited to applicants who suffered severe physical losses only, including the loss of buildings and livestock. Applications are due by Nov. 2. “Texas’s hardworking ag producers feed our neighbors, the nation, and the world,” said Acting State Executive Director Eddie Trevino. “When they suffer losses because of extreme weather, helping them get back on
their feet is important. We encourage those affected to reach out to their local USDA Service Center to apply for these emergency loans.” Emergency physical loss loans are available to producers in most Texas counties including Hamilton and the surrounding area. Physical loss loans can help producers repair or replace damaged or destroyed physical property essential to the success of the agricultural operation, including livestock losses. Examples of property commonly affected include essential farm buildings, fixtures to real estate, equipment, livestock, perennial crops, fruit and nut bearing trees and harvested or stored crops and hay. For more information visit farmers.gov/recover.
Rock House donates to FoHISD Hamilton Masonic Lodge Rock House 417 presented Friends of Hamilton ISD a check for $975 to purchase books for kindergarteners to have books of their own. This is the second year the lodge has donated to this project. Money for this and other projects for the children of Hamilton is derived from the sale of aluminum drink cans.
Coryell County Commission Co.
Sale Results March 13 No. 1 Steers Under 300 lbs.: 170-205 300-400 lbs.: 165-200 400-500 lbs.: 150-185 500-600 lbs.: 140-170 600-700 lbs.: 130-150 700-800 lbs.: 115-135
The public donates through the Masonic Lodge’s “Cans for Kids.” Trailers are located at Brookshire Brothers grocery store and Bush’s Chicken restaurant in Hamilton. Aluminum drink cans are recycled after all other materials are removed and discarded. The cans are then crushed and compacted into bales weighing several hundred pounds, then transported to Waco by members of the lodge. Cans are sold for the current price of aluminum. Without the help from the citizens of Hamilton, this project would not be possible. The Masonic Lodge and the community for donating cans at these locations.
groups (but remember, the recommendation could be coming from the contractor himself, so use caution.) You can verify a plumber’s license and check complaints with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Other types of contractors, like electricians, are licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Ask for the contractor’s certificate of insurance and bond certification, then call the companies to verify coverage.
You should always get a written bid, which should include the company’s name, phone number, and address. Pay with a check or credit card instead of cash. This creates a record of your payment to the contractor. If you suspect a possible contracting scam, report it to our local law enforcement. Always keep in mind the following two clichés: “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” and “Let the buyer beware.”
Thank you!
Thank you all for your love and kindness that you have shown to me and my family while I battle cancer. So many of you have donated time and money, sent cards, texts, and emails, brought food, blankets, and quilts and so many other treats for us to enjoy. I want each of you to know that your greatest gift has been your prayers. Please continue to remember me in your prayers as I continue to fight this. Love, Robbie and Tom Dalton

He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue” (Job 14:1-2). All of us have plenty of trouble. Trouble comes into the life of the young and old; the rich and poor; the wicked and righteous. Trouble is no respecter of persons for it enters into the house of everyone. Many feel like the Psalmist, “The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow” (Psa. 116:3). Concerning one trying to make a living, Solomon said, “For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity” (Eccl. 2:23). Many feel like those in Jeremiah’s day, “We looked for peace, but no good came; And for a time of health, and there was trouble!” (Jer. 8:15 Job was a righteous man - one that feared God and fled from evil. Also, he was a man that was very wealthy and “yet trouble came” (Job 3:26; KJV). Job lost his children, his wealth and his health. Job fell to the ground in worship and said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD” (Job 1:21). Job’s friends expressed the view that he must have been guilty of some great sin to be punished by God so severely. But Job argued back that he was innocent. In the book of Job, God appears to Job and asked him a series of questions: 1) “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” 2) “Who shut up the seas with doors?” 3) “Have you entered into the springs of the sea?” 4) “Where is the way where light dwelleth?” 5) “Have you entered into the treasures of the snow?” Job began to get the point and acknowledges that God has planned all these things and His plan is too wonderful for man to know it all. Job also realizes that the skill and power shown in fashioning the world and its inhabitants is also demonstrated in his life. The same God who made the zebra, giraffe, sea and earth is really at work in the lives of men. Job concludes that man should give obedience and worship to God in every circumstance in life - for the Almighty is the Creator and is still under control. After God spoke to Job and Job repented of being overly bold in his words, He spoke to the friends of Job. God explained that His wrath was kindled against them. God instructed the three friends to have Job intercede in their behalf and this Job did. God blessed Job after his suffering and he had more at the end of his life than he did before his great trials. Job died an old man and full of life. The book of Job teaches that we should serve God because He is God. Some serve God only for what material blessings they think they can get. Satan raised the issue if man would serve God for naught. Job was willing to serve God regardless of the circumstances and so must we. We may not always at the time of suffering understand why it is happening. Suffering seems to be a part of the mystery of God’s providence. In the plan of the all-wise and loving Father there is a reason for life’s difficulties. We must put our trust in the Lord, for the Lord has promised through the apostle Paul that “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28).

PUC details response Council... to winter weather event From Page 1 AUSTIN- In an open meeting March 12, the Public Utility Commission of Texas detailed eight key areas of focus that are guiding Commission work in response to the February 2021 winter weather event. As part of the related discovery process, inputs were invited from all interested parties. “I am proud of the work PUC staff is doing to shed light on the issues that combined to interrupt power for millions of Texans—we must make sure it never happens again,” said Chairman Arthur D’Andrea. “These areas of focus have emerged as the most likely contributors to the disaster, and I’m confident our team will collaborate closely with Texans and the entities that serve them to get answers and devise solutions to protect our state.” The areas of focus, detailed in a memo from PUC Deputy Executive Director, Connie Corona, are: Generation Weatherization and Emergency Operations. Essential Generation Load. Essential Customer Load and Load Shed. ERCOT Operations. Communications and Governance. Market Settlements. Wholesale Market Design. Retail Market. Testimony and memoranda in these cases will be gathered in a number of Commission projects: Project 51825: Investigation Regarding the February 2021 Winter Weather Event Project 51830: Review of Wholesale - Indexed Products for Compliance with Customer Protection Rules for Retail Electric Service Project 51839: Electric - Gas Coordination Project 51840: Rulemaking to Establish Weatherization Standards Project 51841: Review of 16 TAC § 25.53 Relating to Electric Service Emergency Operations Plans Project 51871: Review of the ERCOT Scarcity Pricing Mechanism Project 51888: Review of Critical Load Standards and Processes Project 51889: Review of Communications for the Electric Market.” Interested parties are invited to submit their insights to those projects using the PUC’s Interchange Filing System. On a separate note, D’Andrea also encouraged Texas customers of retail electric providers to request deferred payment plans from their REP if they’re experiencing financial struggles.

The fat cattle market again saw steady prices coming out of the feed yard. For about six weeks in a row, prices have remained unchanged with the bulk of sales around the $114 range. Feeders are looking to gain some traction this week with sharply higher asking prices. We need this market to advance so prices can funnel their way all the way down the cow/calf operator. More locally, cattle runs are getting lighter while demand is wanting to pick up. It looks like a decent marketing window from now until spring pastures get here causing fatter stocker calves, decreasing performance, and ultimately softer prices for calves too fat and juicy.

that he was speaking out against “tyranny” that was “cruel and unreasonable.” He said the City had cited him for stringing lights and for a noise complaint. He added that he must have his trash picked up by the City’s contracted company, but it was sometimes not picked up or picked up at 5:30 a.m., which violates the noise ordinance. “I moved my business here,” he said. “I have been targeted and harassed. I received two letters – and two were sent to my mother. That’s $14 that could have been used on potholes.” He said his water was turned off during the freeze and he was threatened with double fines and compared to a “Mexican drug lord.” “There are no checks or balances,” Longer said. “I’m here to fight against tyranny.” Public hearings were held for a specific use permit for a carport and for annexation and zoning, but there were citizen comments for either hearing. The annexation, zoning and preliminary plat of 3.8 acres of land owned by Piper Oaks LLC in the Indian Oaks Subdivision, James Hamilton Survey were approved per recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and presented by chairman Keith Gatewood. Gatewood said letters were sent to affected landowners and that the six lots meet the 10,000 square foot minimum requirement. Five of the six lots can be accessed from Cheyenne Mesa and one from Highway 22. The four lots acquired for a Family Dollar also were recommended by Planning and Zoning. Councilman George Beard asked about truck access to the store, and Gatewood said frontal access from Highway 36 would be preferable but depends on Texas Department of Transportation approval. “Howard Street would work but would bear more thoroughfare,” Gatewood said. “That’s an area of concern.” “We will chip-seal Howard and reconstruct the base,” Polster said. The carport discussed by the council has already been built, Gateway said, but the owners were unaware that a permit was needed. “It is fenced in and not visible from the road,” he said, adding that one neighbor gave verbal approval, but no others responded. “There’s no reason not to approve it, and they will pay the permit fee.” The council agrees to procure Lindemann Engineering for the development and submission of a grant application for the dam at City Lake to Texas Commission for Environmental Quality for
Hospital... From Page 1 The licensed operators manage the facilities in exchange for a fair market value management fee, which is paid with nursing facility revenue, not HCHD revenue. As QIPP funds are received, generally 50 percent of the supplemental payments are paid to the manager and the remaining percentage is retained by the hospital district. HCHD has QIPP agreements with more than 30 nursing home facilities, which is comparable to Coryell County Memorial Hospital Authority with 33 facilities, Eastland Memorial Hospital District with 27 and Dallas County Hospital District with 37. The program is open to privately-owned and non-state governmental-owned nursing facilities. Krienke also outlined the risks and protections of the program for the district. Chief Operating Officer Melissa DeLaGarza reported on the quality metrics and monthly payment tracking of the HCHD program’s nursing facilities. Dr. Peter Bealka, ophthalmology, and Dr. Sanjay Jain, radiology, were approved for the medical consultant staff, as well as Dr. Sumett Verma, telemedicine radiologist, who is affiliated with Virtual Radiologic Corporation. The election was canceled because candidates are unopposed. The board approved a pending tax deed for a parcel of land at 215 S. Taylor, on which the structure has been demolished and there are no improvements other than a metal shed. The City of Hamilton last month rejected the bid, and the Hamilton Independent School District has not yet considered it. In presenting the financial reports for January, CFO Eddie Read said revenues for the month were $7.6 million with inpatient, outpatient and clinic revenue of
FEMA’s National Dam Safety Program. Polster said the dam was inspected by TCEQ in 2019. TCEQ reported that an emergency action plan was required for repair and provided a list of requirements for it to pass future inspection. Lindemann was hired to create the emergency action plan, which is due at the end of the month, and is familiar with the property. The city council approved a joint community election agreement with Hamilton Independent School District for an election to be held May 1. Polster said a GPS system would allow the city to monitor maintenance, safety and driver activity but said a policy is needed before he begins testing equipment. “Our vehicles are assets, and we need to keep track of them,” he said. The second reading of the waste and grease trap ordinance was tabled when Polster said more time was needed for a meeting with the stakeholders and a plan for implementation. The first reading of a proposed sanctuary city resolution was supported by the council and will have a second reading at the April meeting. “The City of Hamilton strongly supports our citizens’ right to bear arms under the Second Amendment and does not support any law that would deprive any citizen of the rights guaranteed and protected under the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Texas Constitution,” Polster said. “This resolution restates what’s in our constitutional rights. “We urge the Congress of the United States to monitor and defend against any infringement of these rights.” “Our police chief researched this, and it’s important to let our citizens know,” said Mayor ProTem Todd Jordan. “We all took an oath to defend our constitution,” he said. “I as mayor ask you to approve this.” Hamilton Police Chief Brad Boulton reported 238 calls for service, 45 traffic stops, 17 citations and 30 warnings in February. He said there were three arrests from traffic stops and a total of 10 arrests in the month including six felonies and four misdemeanors. Boulton said there were two non-injury accidents, 29 animal reports, four impounded, two reclaimed, 15 motorist assists, 22 citizen assists, 10 residence checks and 485 business checks. In his administrator’s report, Polster said the Hamilton Historic Main Street has been accredited. “That is phenomenal for the first year,” he said. “Joni (Hoxsey) has been doing a great $1.5 million, $5.6 million and $601,000, respectively. Adjustments totaled $4.7 million, resulting in net patient revenue of $2.9 million. Total operating revenue was $5 million. Operating expenses were $5 million, resulting in a net loss from operations of $10,000. Non-operating revenue and capital grants or gifts were $41,000 and $5000, respectively, resulting in net income of $37,000, including tax revenue of $66,000. Read said COVID cases stabilized in January and returned to pre-holiday statistics. The hospital had 218 census days, while the Hamilton, Hico and Goldthwaite clinics had 1092, 604 and 1134 visits, respectively, 970 telehealth visits and 419 ER visits.

job.” He said Hamilton Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Sarah Bauman has resigned, effective at the end of the month. Polster said TxDOT is helping the city acquire an aggregate spreader. TCEP investigated the wastewater plant and found no violations, and Polster praised employees Jakob and Thomas. He said April 19 and 20 will be long days for early voting for the city election. Polster reported some equipment was damaged during the recent freeze, the alley project behind Main Street on the square is almost complete, training for operation of the zipper for street repair will be March 17 and new utility billing software is needed. A water fountain-mister will be installed on the jogging trail of the sports complex at Pecan
Creek Park in memory of Ray Sparks, who was instrumental in getting the park built. Polster said $2495 has been donated in Sparks’ memory, and $1373 more is needed to complete the project. He said a contractor will be hired the refurbish the gazebos in the park, and the EDC is working with Master Gardeners on irrigation and landscaping at the airport. Polster said anyone interested in serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission can fill out a volunteer application at City Hall; and a freeze protection plan should be compiled from issues faced during the recent event. The council closed the regular meeting and went into executive session for Polster’s annual evaluation. After reconvening, members voted to extend his contract for three years and approved a 3 percent salary increase.

This Week in Texas History Clements – a family of killers By Bartee Haile Mannen Clements, Sr. decided to take a break from politicking on Mar. 23, 1887 and stepped into a Ballinger barroom for a refreshing drink. What he got instead was a deadly barrage of bullets. Including members of their extended family, the Clements were a close-knit clan of cold-blooded killers. Besides Mannen and his brothers Gyp, Jim and Joe, the lethal lineup featured cousin John Wesley Hardin, son-in-law “Deacon” Jim Miller and Mannen, Jr. better known as Mannie. Wes Hardin eluded the law in early 1871 by lying low at the Clements ranch in Gonzales County. The teenaged terror accompanied his kin on a cattle drive to Kansas that littered the Chisholm Trail with bodies. He added a half dozen notches to his blazing six-gun, while Mannen blew away two insubordinate cowpunchers. After breaking Wes out of jail in 1872, the Clements boys and their trigger-happy cousin spent the next two years fighting on the side of the Taylors, distant relatives, in their Gulf Coast feud with the Suttons. As the private war petered out, the Clements went back to rustling cattle and Wes continued his killing spree. When Wes was slapped with a 25-year prison term in 1878, Mannen promised to care for his wife and children. The addition of the Hardins to his long list of dependents was no financial strain for the rancher, who by the mid1880’s had become one of the wealthiest cattlemen in West Texas. Numerous neighbors had noticed that the size of the Clements herd seemed to increase in direct proportion to

Tourney slayers Bulldogs win 4 straight
Trailing a 4-0 run through Hamilton’s Louis Lowe IV Invitational the previous week, the Hamilton Bulldog baseball team again claimed four straight victories in the Poolville/Peaster tournament over spring break. The Dogs toppled Boswell and Bridgeport last Thursday in Peaster by scores of 7-2 and 15-1 respectively. Returning to Peaster Friday morning, the Bulldogs ransacked Krum 8-2. The Dogs traveled to Poolville later that evening and upended the host Monarchs 8-6, improving to 9-4-1 on the year. Prior to the tournament, the Bulldogs opened district competition on Tuesday of last week in De Leon. After falling behind 2-0 in the bottom of the first, the Dogs rallied and forced an extra inning by knotting the game at two runs apiece in the top of the seventh.
Jaydon Watson singled to drive in Hamilton’s two. De Leon’s Vic Amaya singled on a 1-1 count in the bottom of the eighth to drive in the game-clinching run as the Bearcats staked a 3-2 win over the Dogs. Hayden Blackwell recorded Hamilton’s only other hit in the ballgame. Fresh off receiving a 2A Diamond Pro Pitcher of the Week honorable mention for throwing a no-hitter through four innings and sitting down 11 batters in a previous game versus Dublin, Colby Bailey again commanded the mound for the Dogs and recorded 13 strikeouts through five and one-third innings of work. Heavy hitter Chase Weaver, who belted a home run during Hamilton’s Red and Black scrimmage, also proved strong on the mound. Pitching 2 1/3 innings in relief, Weaver gave up just one run on one hit. Hamilton’s JV 10-run ruled the host Bearcats Tuesday of
With the arrival of warmer spring temperatures, Perry Country Club’s board of directors invite members and non-members to join them on Hamilton’s local golf course. “Tuesday’s weekly two-person scrambles will begin this coming Tuesday,” said vice president Bridgette Haile. “It is $10, cash or check, to participate, and the scramble begins every Tuesday evening at 5:30 sharp. “Only members can win the cash prizes, however non-members are welcome, and non-membership winnings will be directed to the PCC Youth Fund to help support our youth programs and high school golf teams.” PCC Youth Fund proceeds were recently utilized in helping the Hamilton High School golf teams purchase golf bags and balls.
Haile said, “Golf is a lifetime sport, and our membership has always been so very gracious in encouraging and supporting our youth interested in learning the game.” PCC will also be hosting a tournament on Saturday, March 27. Dubbed the Luck of the Draw, the tournament will be a two-person, 18-hole scramble with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. A cash prize will be awarded to the first place team. Second and third place winnings will be decided by a random draw. Cost to participate is $75 per team. A potluck meal will be enjoyed, and Ed Vargas will provide live music following the tournament from 7 to 10 p.m. Wishful participants are encouraged to call PCC at 254386-3383 to register a team and to reserve a cart, if needed.
