Ethan Cart dives off of a full speed horse to wrestle a steer.

Ethan Winckler rode this bull all the way to the National High School Rodeo Finals in Wyoming coming up in July. By Wade Thibodeaux Four local students competed at the Texas High School Rodeo Association State Finals this past week in Abilene. In order to compete at State, competitors must be in the top 10 in their event from their region. They compete throughout the week for a chance to compete in the short go round . The top 15 are chosen for the short go round. This is how these local kids fared. Lane Chesson, a senior at H-F, competed in steer wrestling. Lane had shoulder surgery in February after a steer wrestling injury at the region. He came back very strong and threw both of his steers and placed 16th overall. Jayden Guidry, a sophomore at EC, competed in pole bending. Jayden had a smoking fast first run and placed 6th in the round. She had a little tough luck in the second round where she hit a pole. Jayden can compete with the best and will more than likely return to State next year. Ethan Cart, a freshman at EC, competed in steer wrestling and saddle bronc riding. Ethan slipped a horn on his first steer, but threw

his round 2 steer. He covered his bronc in round 2 for 3rd in the round. Ethan made the short go where he finished 8th overall in the saddle bronc riding. Ethan is looking forward to competing the next three years and moving up to the National competition. And we saved the best for last, Ethan Winckler, a homeschooled sophomore, covered his first bull in the bull riding and made it back to the short go.Ethan rode his short go bull for 78 points. Ethan finished 4th overall which gives him the opportunity to compete at the National HIgh School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming in July. We wish Ethan good luck as he travels to Nationals. Congratulations to these young, talented rodeo athletes. Much of the financial support for these young athletes came from the community and was much appreciated by those athletes and their families. These youngsters are just beginning their careers and surely will continue to make headlines in the future. Continue to watch for news from these cowboys and cowgirls because as they say......the best is yet to come.

HEY, can I take a week off in this column writing department? I have been thinking for over a week about what I’m going to write in this week’s column and there is just nothing that really inspires me. I’m thinking to myself that I’m either complaining about something or boring you with the details of my poor pathetic life that I lead. And speaking of a poor pathetic life, I really don’t have anything scheduled for like the next two months. It seems like since the first of February when things burst loose at the seams for Spring, I have had multiple things to do on the weekends and most involved some amount of play with a little bit of work, but now........nothing. Literally the only thing on my calendar is

the Texas Press Association convention at the end of July. The end of JULY........that’s seven weekends from now. Surely I can find something to do on a couple of those Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. Weekends are three days....... right?? I’ll keep looking for something and if you guys come up with anything, just let me know about it so that I don’t go completely crazy by staying home all of the time. With the price of this fuel these days, I’m not exactly sure how far I want to go anyway. I may have to find a way to entertain myself while I’m catching up on some projects around the house. I’ve really got quite a bit to get caught up on, but it sure is a lot more fun to run off to a

rodeo, a bull riding, or a concert. I was thinking about going up to Cheyenne Wyoming to go to Cheyenne Frontier Days, but a quick check of the calendar placed it squarely on top of the Texas Press Association Convention. Imagine that, nothing to do for seven weekends and then the two events that I would like to go to fall on the same weekend. Oh well, work before play, so I’m going to the Press Convention. Since I had nothing to do, I thought about hopping a plane to Vegas one weekend for a quick trip. I checked airfare and almost had a heart attack. What used to be a $150 trip is now in the $400 range. I guess jet fuel has gone up also. Then I got really nervous as I thought about the two trips that I normally take in the late Fall, early Winter. I usually go to Vegas for the bull riding finals in November and then the National Finals Rodeo in December. I checked on flights for those dates and they were a little better, in the

$300 range, but still considerably higher than last year. I went ahead and booked my room for both trips and we’ll see how the airfare thing plays out. I may have to ride in the back of a horse trailer and take care of some horses for a few days in order to get there, but at least I’ll have a room when I arrive. Well, I guess I have done it again. I’m complaining about gas prices and telling you about my poor

pathetic life. I’m going to have to check on some things that are local and some things that I haven’t had the chance to do in quite a while. I’m kinda missing my old buddy George Dearbonne and his band Branded. I haven’t heard them play in several months. With this new unplugged leg that has circulation, I may be able to dance two songs in a row instead of having to rest inbetween songs. That would be a

good experiment to try in the next few weeks. I’m going to quit writing and go check their schedule to see where they are playing in the next month. I’m figuring that I’m going to find a way to entertain myself and won’t be staying home EVERY weekend. Who knows, maybe something exciting will happen in my life. Till next time, I’m..........Wade in the Shade.

FROM A COW TO A CROSS

By Tumbleweed Smith When Tommy Womack was a boy, his family moved from El Paso to Amarillo. His daddy had just been discharged from the Horse Cavalry at Fort Bliss and had taken a job with the Santa Fe Railroad in Amarillo. Tommy started working in journalism. “I rode a bicycle and delivered the Amarillo Globe Newspaper to some neighborhoods. I would ride my bicycle down the middle of the street and throw papers to houses right and left. That’s just the way paper boys did it back then.” He says after having that job a while he acquired a throwing skill and had a strong rhythm of getting the paper from the bag, folding it and throwing it, almost always landing it on the front porches of houses. “Every once in a while I’d throw a wild pitch and the paper would land on the roof or in a flowerbed and I’d have to retrieve it and put it by the front door. That really upsets the rhythm.” When the family moved to Happy, a teacher convinced Tommy he should get involved with 4-H and Future Farmers of America, although he had

no agricultural experience at all since he had always lived in a big city. “I started doing some agriculture stuff and ended up winning a heifer and I knew I had to bring it back the next year to show her. Now you know how I got into the livestock business.” Tommy lives a dozen miles from Tulia. He has herds of cattle. “Now I’m down to about 500 mother cows. But of course we’re calving.” He farms several thousand acres of land, some of it in cotton. “Looks like the price is gonna be real good this year.” He is up early and works late. “I’m busy all the time doing something and really enjoy everything I do. He and his wife spend winters on South Padre. “That’s kind of a slow time of year for us and we go there in late January and leave just before it starts getting hot.” Once he and his son were going deer hunting and got to an area near Groom where a giant cross is located. “It turned out to be so foggy and I was looking for the cross because I had been there several times and knew it should start showing up through the fog. But I couldn’t see it

even though I knew it was lighted. But when we got up really close there was this circle of white fog and right in the middle of this circle was that cross. It was such a dramatic sight and that image stayed with me for about two years. I could not get it out of my mind. It was like my brain had taken a picture of that cross and permanently placed it thee. So I got to thinking maybe I should build a cross.” He spent a year building a metal cross 45 feet high on his land near Happy. “Everything fell into place so quickly and easily from making a platform for it, the delivery of equipment, raising it up and supplying electricity. There were so many people willing to help and be involved.” The cross went up ten years ago on Good Friday. It’s visible on IS 27 near Happy. “It belongs to the public. My kids know it’s never to be sold.” www.tumbleweesmith.com

Wednesday, June 15, 2022 PUNISHMENT RANGE

Forty-Two individuals were arrested and booked into the Chambers County Jail between Sunday, June 5 and Saturday, June 11. Warrants from last week are also as followed. The individuals have been magistrated and formally

informed of the charges against them. However, just because these individuals were arrested and magistrated does not mean they are guilty of the crimes they are charged with committing. Also, not everyone charged with a crime

is alleged to have committed the crime in Chambers County, but perhaps was simply arrested in Chambers County on outstanding warrant(s) while in Chambers County. Instances in which individuals were arrested on outstanding

warrants, their original conviction and the reason they are on probation or parole, if available, is included in parenthesis set.

• First degree felony: punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison and a $10,000 fine. • Second degree felony: punishable by up to 20 years and a $10,000 fine. • Third degree felony: punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. • State jail felony: punishable by up to two years in prison. • Deferred adjudication probation: typically offered to the first time offenders. Defendants’ judgement is deferred until later, if ever. If they successfully complete the terms of their probation, they are not judge and thus have no criminal conviction in connection to the offense. However, if they accept deferred adjudication probation but fail to abide by the terms of their probation, they could be sentenced to the maximum time in prison allowable under the law without the benefit of a trail by jury. • Class A misdemeanor: punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. • Class B misdemeanor: punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.

J ess Card o n a Tr e n d s e t t e r a s Woma n P i c k u p M an Jess Cardon doesn't see herself as a pioneer. She's an official PRCA card carrying pickup man. Talking to ProRodeo veterans Cardon isn't believed to be the first woman pickup man in PRCA history – but she's the only one going now. Cardon, 30, acknowledged being a PRCA pickup man was something she never envisioned. "It is kind of one of those

things that eventually just showed itself," Cardon said. "I always admired it and loved it, but it isn't something I thought I would do. Most of it came about when Josh (Reed) and I got together." Cardon has been a pickup man for different rodeo associations and events for around seven years, but she didn't make her PRCA debut until 2021 at the Brawley (Calif.)

Cattle Call Rodeo, Nov. 14-15. "Last year, Josh, my fiancé, who is a pickup man, got hurt in Bakersfield (Calif.), and they scrambled to get another person to go to Brawley and we had been kicking around the idea to go ahead and get my card and my first rodeo was Brawley," Jess said. "That was a big one to crack out at. A lot of times Josh and I pick

up together. I have gone to a couple of rodeos now by myself. We just make sure I'm with the right other person. I also pickup a lot with Bronc Boehnlein and Danny Leslie, guys we dang sure know." Cardon and her fiancé live in Caliente, Calif. They have their own business running commercial-based beef cattle. "When Josh and I started

Sunday Observations from Christy

I pulled into the county dump to unload a large matted up ball of barbed wire. Another man, Max, got there when I did and offered to help. I only had one leather glove in the truck. However, the other man only had one glove in his truck! Together we safely got the wire into the dumpster, shook hands, and left with a smile. “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9) Danny R.

ris was significantly faster catching his second calf, a solid 8.6-second effort. It was a stop on the NFR Playoff Series presented by Pendleton Whisky. "The first round, I had to run my calf a little bit," said Harris, 24. "The second round, I had a great calf. I didn't get in the way of myself, and I got a good time. It worked out." But there were still several good cowboys awaiting their two rounds, competing Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

As a kid, my grandparents and great grandparents had magnificent yards. Beautiful gardens. Gorgeous houseplants. I couldn’t grow a twig farm to save my life back then, and honestly mom couldn’t either. Running joke in our family is about the day leaves fell off a silk plant in our living room….. she killed a fake plant. This was some 45-50 years ago. After mom retired, she began to grow magnificent plants on

her porch. We were all baffled at how suddenly she could grow anything. She moved in here, and honestly, I’ve been impressed with our porches. Plants and flowers blooming everywhere. But realistically, I’m the one who does 80% of the watering if not more. I managed to get five lemon trees to sprout from seeds and you would have thought I got the lotto. As I stand outside now, watering, picking dead flowers off, and messing with the pets, I can’t help but remember my grandparents of yesteryear. How my sweet Papaw talked me through planting most of the trees I have now, and when I lost one to Ike he told me he knew it would happen. I asked why wasn’t I told this, he

grinned and said, you had already planted it before I knew, or I would have. After many months of this I have also come to realize that growing plants is a lot like growing kids. Takes patience. Takes time. Proper attention, food and water, and knowing when you may hurt more than help by jerking it up too quick. You see, growing all these plants has made me realize…..with age comes patience. And the biggest obstacle to growing weeds, plants, a farm, or kids….. is patience. Seems as though that “crazy old lady with all the plants” now resides at my house. And she ain’t the one that keeps us on our toes…… she…. Is me!!! Mom is innocent of this one. Plants are calming

though. Challenging. They can surprise you with their beautiful blooms….. once you remember that in order to get them…. You must invest the time, the water, to bring about a beautiful blooming season. Happy Sunday peeps, from my green thumb to yours. Did I mention my daughter called me because her aloe vera sported new babies in the pot. I laughed when she said “oh mom look now I understand parenting”…… I laughed really hard at that one. Funny side note, she now is asking me to give her advice on plants to plant. And just like that……. The next generation is slowing down, investing time, and learning growth. Of self….. and those crazy plants.

So Harris tempered his expectations. "After I rode out of the arena, I told my dad I was probably gonna win fourth in the average, with the quality of the ropers still competing – a good field and good calves," he said. "But I didn't know the weather was gonna be bad." Indeed, Thursday's contestants got the better of Mother Nature during the fourday rodeo. "It rained the next three days, when everybody else roped. I was fortunate to get to rope in good conditions," Harris said. "Rodeo doesn't get canceled or delayed. No matter what the weather, ro-

deo happens." In the end, Harris' firstround run was good for a seventh-place tie and a modest $346. His stronger second-round run was good for a fourth-place tie and another $1,400 or so. And when both runs were added up, well, he wasn't fourth in the average. Rather, he was first with a total time of 18.6 seconds, nearly a second ahead of second-place Jared Parke (19.4). That led to another $3,410 for a total cash out of more than $5,100. As such, the three-time Wrangler NFR qualifier stayed well on track for a fourth straight Vegas trip. Harris is currently sev-

enth in the tie-down world standings, with $51,777 so far this year. "This is by far the best start I've ever had. It feels really good. I've been blessed to run a lot of great calves in the winter and spring," he said, before giving a deserved nod to his trusty steed, Spiderman. "I've got a horse that puts me in position to win every time I'm in the box. I feel very confident, because I know what he's gonna do. "I just need to keep getting out of the barrier good, roping the neck, giving myself chances." Other winners at the $167,094 rodeo were all-

around cowboy Jared Parke ($4,052, tie-down roping and team roping); bareback rider Keenan Hayes (85.5 points on Flying 5 Rodeo's Miss Major); steer wrestler Jace Melvin (10.5 seconds on two head); team ropers Jake Cooper/Sid Sporer and Rhen Richard/Jeremy Buhler (5.0 seconds); saddle bronc rider CoBurn Bradshaw (*89.5 points on Flying 5 Rodeo's Spring Plantin); barrel racer Taycie Matthews (17.73 seconds); breakaway roper Samantha Fulton (2.7 seconds); and bull rider Ky Hamilton (88.5 points on Corey & Lange Rodeo's Billy Hell). * Arena Record.

Can I Give You A Hand?

In the world of rodeo, luck of the draw works in multiple ways. Sure, the stock you're assigned to ride or rope or wrestle is key. The order in which you compete can be a factor. And for multi-day rodeos, the day you compete can make a big difference. Tiedown roper Ty Harris can vouch for that. On Thursday morning at the Sisters (Ore.) Rodeo, Harris made his two runs. The first was a relatively nondescript 10.0-second effort. Har-

This picture of a knock-kneed newborn fawn illustrates how vulnerable fawns can be. It’s unlikely it could even outrun a purse dog. With many fawns being born in or near Texas suburban neighborhoods now which formerly were deer habitat, it’s important for fawns to be left alone. They’re probably NOT abandoned. See text. Photo by Shae Seale.

J e s s C a r d o n Tr e n d s e t t e r ( c o n t d ) WOODS, WATERS, and WILDLIFE

DON’T MESS WITH FAWNS! By John Jefferson

This time every year, whitetail and mule deer fawns begin arriving throughout Texas. Practically every county having suitable deer habitat will experience it. Most will be whitetails. Despite efforts by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), outdoor writers, and many newspapers – totaling over 100,000 words of copy – untold numbers of people still think seeing a fawn alone means it’s abandoned. Too many want to help it. That’s admirable. But

Welcome Neighborhood Net Readers!

unnecessary. And could be detrimental to the fawn’s safety. You don’t want to do that, do ya? Fawns are born without scent. That helps protect them from predators. Otherwise, they are helpless when born. They aren’t capable of running fast enough to avoid capture, making them easy prey for coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and even domestic dogs that stumble across them. I still regret something I observed years ago. Eating lunch on the ranch porch, I heard a frantic bleating sound across the hay meadow. Putting the glasses on it, I saw two large dogs chasing a doe. I jeeped down to assist the doe. I had never seen these dogs before. They abandoned the chase when I drove up. One growled at me. The doe ran off into the brush. Then I saw the fawn -- It lay dead a few feet away. The dog that growled had blood around its mouth. The other dog came when I called, and I got an address off the collar tag. The killer ran off. The friendly dog climbed into the jeep when invited and I took it home – about a mile away. No one was home, so I put it in the fenced back yard and left a note. The owner later called and strongly denied

that his dog could have done it since it was “inside the fenced yard all day!” The man calmed down when he realized I had read his dog’s tag -- the only way I knew where it lived -- and had brought it home. And my description of the other dog was a dog his dog often ran with. Yes, dogs can kill fawns. Does hide their little ones in high weeds or landscaping. The does then take a break from mothering newborns to grab a meal themselves -- and a little well-needed rest from their duties. Human mothers Human interference may nullify the lack of scent, however, making fawns more vulnerable to detection. LEAVE THEM ALONE WHERE YOU FIND THEM! Most of the time, their mammas will be back. The fact that Texas now has an estimated five million deer indicates most fawns survive. Heat, drought, disease, and other factors take more of a toll than those mothers that have been hit by a car and can’t return. Texas is suffering from its typical summertime drought and does may have to hunt nourishment longer than usual. Like human mothers, they remember where they left their babies. They’ll be back.

dating, he was into being a pickup man, and I got around the right people to pickup," Jess said. "I also definitely got on some really awesome horses. I grew up on cutting horses and I grew up on a cow-calf ranch in Caliente. I got into rodeo and team roped, just a little bit of everything." Cardon acknowledged being a pickup woman in the PRCA was a bold move. "There absolutely was some fear there," Cardon said. "I was so worried about the bareback riding because if somebody got hung up, I know I'm only so big and don't have that brute strength. That's why I go with guys who

know me, and I know them. I've also figured out my spot when somebody gets hung up. My spot is to get a hold of the horse. My initial reaction is to get a hold of the horse and stop the action. "I would also like to thank Jeff Shearer who I pick up with. Also, with the help of Paul Applegarth at Wild West and Flying U Rodeo and the whole Rosser family I was able to get my start in this." Cardon primarily works rodeos in the California Circuit. She has already been a pickup man at California rodeos in Brawley, Woodlake, Auburn, and Santa Maria

and Glennville. "There was a lot of good reaction and some bad reaction," Cardon said after her first rodeo in Brawley. "I just make sure I do my job and I do everything I can do correctly. As long I read the situation and put myself where I should be everything should work out just fine. I have several other rodeos planned for this summer and fall. I see myself doing this for a long time. I just feel like I'm a person doing my job. For me, it is not about being a pioneer or breaking a glass ceiling. To me, if you do what you love, then you never work a day in your life."

Powerful Plankton

W K O R C I J LV L

Though they are quite tiny, swarms of this plankton are so huge they can be seen from space! Circle every other letter to How many discover its of me can you find name. on this page?

How many plankton are in a teaspoon of water? How many would you guess? Use the secret code to discover the surprising answer!

= SIX = HUNDRED = THAN = MORE = MILLION = PLANKTON = LESS = THOUSAND = ONE A teaspoon of water can contain

Are plankton plants or animals? The answer is both! There are two main types of plankton: phytoplankton (fi-toe-plank-ton) and zooplankton. Follow the maze to discover which are plants and which are animals.

PHYTOPLANKTON

ANIMAL

PLANT

ZOOPLANKTON

A Breath of Fresh Air

Phytoplankton make more than half of the oxygen in our world. Think of it this way, every time you take four breaths, two of those breaths came from oxygen made by phytoplankton through photosynthesis. So even if you live far from the ocean, you depend on it to survive!

PH = F

Ocean Food Chain

Plankton is made up of tiny, usually one-celled plants and small water animals such as larvae and eggs. Zooplankton and other small marine creatures eat phytoplankton and then become food for fish, crustaceans, and other larger species. Complete this food chain diagram by drawing an ocean predator (shark, orca, barracuda) here: fish larvae phytoplankton

zooplankton

fish

Standards Link: Science: Undertstand how food chains support the life cycles of animals and humans.

In English, when the letters p and h are next to each other, they make an F sound. Words like phytoplankton, phone, photograph and pharmacy. Look through the newspaper and find letters to spell each of these words. Glue the letters onto a piece of paper, spelling out each word. Then read each one aloud. Standards Link: Match letters and sounds to spell words.

The world’s largest animal, eats up to 16 tons of plankton daily. Ten adult men together would weigh about one ton. So 16 tons of plankton would be equal to the weight of 160 men. Good thing it likes plankton and not people! Color the spaces with odd numbers blue to reveal the animal’s name.

Can you find the answer to each of these questions? They can all be found on this Kid Scoop page!
