TRANSCRIPT
T he Lady ‘Stangs
opened their 2017-
2018 season Dis-
trict play this past week
with games against the
Memphis Cyclones and
the Panhandle Panther-
ettes. Claude came out
strong in their first Dis-
trict game on Tuesday,
January 9th against the
Cyclones. The team played like
a well-oiled machine both
offensively and defensive-
ly. On the offensive-side
points fell for nearly the
whole Lady Stangs line
up from starter and lead
scorer, Jenna Cooper,
with twenty-two points to
the relievers, Addison
Hixson and Emmeri El-
liott, with two and three
points respectively. Junior
Jaden Hughes (fourteen
points) and senior Allison
Giles (thirteen points)
remained two of the Lady Stangs most consistent
scorers. The team worked
hard on the defensive side
of the ball as well. They
repeatedly caused turn-
overs and shut down
Memphis’ attempt to
score. Ultimately, they
held the Cyclones to a
mere thirty points versus
the Lady Stangs’ seventy-
nine points sealing
Claude’s victory.
The team’s second
District game was against
the Panhandle Panther-
ettes in Panhandle. As one of Claude’s fiercest rivals,
the Lady Stangs went into
Friday’s game anticipat-
ing a fight. From the start,
tension was high and the
teams pushed one another
up and down the court.
The Lady Stangs held the
Pantherettes close as the
game progressed, but as
Claude continued to strug-
gle to make their shot at-
tempts, Panhandle eventu-
ally started to claim the
upper hand. However, the
Lady Stangs demonstrated
their true fighting spirit and never gave up. Jenna
Cooper led the team with
thirteen points. Her fellow
scorers for the game were
Jaden Hughes with ten
points, Allison Giles with
five points, and Taylor
Fouquet with three. De-
spite their best efforts, the
Claude Lady Stangs ulti-
mately fell to the Pan-
dhandle Pantherettes by a
final score of 31-47 in
favor of Panhandle.
However, the Lady
Stangs still have many
District games ahead of them. They faced the
Wheeler Lady Mustangs
at home on Tuesday and
will face Clarendon to-
night in Clarendon. So
grab your red and blue
and drive on over to Clar-
endon for tonight’s games
which start with the Jun-
ior Varsity girls at 4:00
p.m. followed by the JV
boys, Varsity Girls, and
Varsity Boys. Keep root-
ing for your Lady Mus-
tangs!

This year has started
off with a bang. We are
now housing Hutchinson
County Inmates for the
foreseeable future. We
started housing the 11th
of this month. This in-
come will help with re-
pairs, overtime, and pur-
chases to make the book-
ing area safer for the in-
mates and staff. This will
also help us update the
booking area and wiring
throughout the building.
Let’s hope we can contin-
ue to house inmates for
others.
In February, we have
our Jail Administrator
going to training in
Huntsville. We will also
have one of our dispatch-
ers in jail school in Ama-
rillo. This will be the last
dispatcher to attend jail
school.
All of the dispatch
jailors will be taking
Mental Health training
for the Sandra Bland Act,
which our Legislators
passed in this last legisla-
tive session. The legisla-
tion has put a financial
strain on all 254 counties.
The time constraints for
the training are not much
better. The Jail Adminis-
trator and I have been
working diligently to try
and find a better contract,
than the one the county
had to sign, because of
the time constraints set
up in the legislation.
That contract we believe
is priced at an outrageous
cost to this county. We
are talking with the Pavil-
ion and Texas Panhandle
Centers to come to a
more cost effective solu-
tion.
There are also more
rumors running through-
out the County that we
hired more deputies. No
we did not. We still have
Danny, Ronnie, and
Jaime. We also have 6
reserve deputies that can
help if we need them.
Other than Caprock
Roundup we have not
needed nor called on our
reserves. Everyone have
a safe weekend!

5 Tips for Healthy-Looking Skin All Winter Long
(StatePoint) The cold,
dry winter months are a
good time to change your
daily skin care regimen.
The low humidity dries
out skin, and without ex-
tra care, this may contrib-
ute to premature aging.
“Winter is harsh on
skin for many reasons,”
says Dr. Shirley Madhère,
a New York City plastic
surgeon with a holistic
practice. “We must con-
tend with cold outdoor
air, dry air from heaters
indoors, friction from
rough or irritating fabrics
and windburn.”
Dr. Madhère offers
these simple proactive
steps to help maintain
healthy, radiant skin dur-
ing the chilliest months of
the year.
• Stay Hydrated. Wa-
ter helps the body flush
out toxins that leave skin
looking dull. If you’re
craving hot coffee or tea
on a chilly day, be sure to
consume lots of water,
too, as caffeine and alco-
hol deplete the body of
water.
Moisturize with a
cream or oil and then cov-
er up to help prevent dry-
ness -- especially feet and
hands, which are prone to
itching and cracking. Also
try using a humidifier, but
avoid hot showers that
draw out moisture from
the skin.
• Eat a Balanced Diet.
Maintaining healthy, radi-
ant skin starts from with-
in. Consume fewer fats
and carbohydrates and eat
more fresh fruits and veg-
etables, which are natural
antioxidants or anti-aging
agents. Foods rich in vita-
min C help fight free radi-
cals that break down col-
lagen, a process which
causes wrinkles. Foods
rich in antioxidants, such
as pomegranates, are vital
in maintaining healthy
skin. Find fun new recipes
to incorporate these key
foods into your diet.
Foods can also be
used externally. A milk or
honey and sugar scrub,
for example, is an excel-
lent gentle exfoliator to
help remove dry dull skin
cells.
• Soothe Skin the
Natural Way. When tem-
peratures drop, consider
switching out lighter faci-
al lotions with a more
moisturizing and thera-
peutic Calendula-based
cream. The Calendula
officinalis plant, or Gar-
den marigold, has been
used topically for genera-
tions to heal skin irrita-
tions.
“A Calendula cream
can provide an all-in-one
solution to soothe many
everyday skin problems,”
says Dr. Madhère.
She recommends a
line from Boiron, an 80-
year old French pharma-
ceutical company special-
izing in homeopathic
medicines, which includes
a cream and a heavier
ointment. Calendula Oint-
ment protects and heals
rougher patches such as
elbows and cracked heels,
chapped lips and nasal
skin irritations from colds.
Both the cream and oint-
ment are free of fragranc-
es, dyes and parabens. To
learn more, visit boironca-
lendula.com.
• Stay Active. In-
creased blood flow during
exercise helps nourish
skin cells. Sweating also
helps flush toxins, helping
skin look more radiant.
Stay motivated by joining
a gym or learning a winter
sport. Just be sure to
change out of clothes wet
from snow or sweat to
avoid itching, inflamma-
tion and cracking. Alt-
hough nothing can replace
exercise, massages can
significantly help circula-
tion, too.
• Don’t Sweat the
Small Stuff. If you’re re-
laxed and happy on the
inside, it will show on the
outside. Manage stress
this season with activities
such as yoga, pilates and
meditation.
For more beauty tips,
visit Dr. Madhère’s web-
site, TheNewAes-
thete.com.
With some extra care
in winter, you can enjoy
beautiful, healthy-looking
skin year-round.

Battle of the Books is
a voluntary reading in-
centive program for stu-
dents in grades 2-8. The
purpose is simply to en-
courage students to read
good books and have fun
while competing with
peers. Because this is
Claude’s first year trying
Battle of the Books, we
will only be competing
amongst ourselves and
not battling with other
schools. Each student will
be responsible for reading
3-4 books from a list of
10 recommended books
for their grade. Then,
teams of 3-4 students will
be formed ensuring that
all ten books are repre-
sented among the readers
on each team. Students
may count books they
have read before, but not
if they have only seen the
movie.
Once the books have
been read and teams have
been formed, the battles
may begin! Battling will
begin in the classrooms,
narrowing teams down to
the best representatives.
Once all classes have
their best team selected,
we will have an assembly
and the best teams will go
head to head in an ulti-
mate BATTLE OF THE
BOOKS! There are six
different ways to battle it
out including a Family
Feud, Relay Style, Base-
ball and Books, Academ-
ic Whiz Kids, Super
Challenge and Book Club
Challenge. These six
styles have been tested
and developed by the
company in which we
purchased our questions.
They are believed to offer
the best environment for
students to compete, de-
velop socialization skills,
meet state standards in
literature and reading, all
while incorporating a lit-
tle friendly competition
into reading.
We invite you to be-
come a part of our 1st
Annual Battle of the
Books celebration by sup-
porting PTO with your
contributions in order to
purchase the books neces-
sary for this competition.
We will be ordering five
paperback copies of each
of the titles on the compe-
tition lists - PTO has
agreed to partner with the
library but we will need
your support to make that
happen. If you are inter-
ested in donating, please
send your contribution in
an envelope marked
“PTO - Battle of the
Books” with your child to
their teacher or the library
and we will ensure it
makes it to the PTO.
Thank you so much
for encouraging your
children to read and for
reading with your chil-
dren. Children’s author,
Emilie Buchwald once
said, “Children are made
readers on the laps of
their parents.” Please do
not stop instilling the im-
portance of reading in our
children for readers are
leaders and these children
are our future.

Fun Ways Your Family Can Get Fit Together
(StatePoint) Is your
fitness routine stuck in a
rut? Searching for ways to
spend more time with
your family?
Why not combine
these goals? There are a
variety of ways to lead an
active lifestyle that are
suitable for the whole
family and can include
children of all ages.
Let these four crea-
tive ideas help you turn
each day into an oppor-
tunity to get fit and have
fun as a family, without
stepping foot into the
gym. As with any
workout, it’s important to
have the proper gear, and
that starts with footwear.
So, each exercise below
has a suggestion of what
to look for when it comes
to choosing the right
shoe.
• Participate in a
charity run/walk: Whether
you’re a seasoned runner
or have just signed up to
run your first 5K, many
fundraising races accom-
modate the entire family.
For younger children,
look for events that allow
jogging strollers or that
host a Fun Run. Events
that show the importance
of communities working
together for a larger cause
can provide a bonus to the
fun.
Shoe to try:
Nike, Adidas and
Converse all have a
variety of “updated
classic” styles
available in men,
women and chil-
dren’s sizing, so
that every family
member can find a
pair that reflects
their personalities,
while also provid-
ing necessary sup-
port for race day.
• Outdoor ac-
tivities: Heading
outdoors to go
camping or hiking
burns calories, while
providing incredible
views and memories.
Shoe to try: Built to
go off-roading, ASICS
hiking shoes features re-
versed lugs on the outsole
to ensure a dependable
grip both uphill and
downhill.
• HIIT: High-
Intensity interval training
is being incorporated into
a lot of workouts these
days. HIIT workouts al-
ternate a quick, intense
period of exercise, such
as running or cycling,
followed by a short, ac-
tive recovery.
Shoe to try: A light-
weight cross training
shoes with a stable base --
such as a Nike Flex
Trainer -- are a good se-
lection when it comes to
HIIT workouts.
• Bodyweight train-
ing: The benefits of body-
weight training are seem-
ingly endless. From
pushups to squats, these
exercises require no addi-
tional equipment and can
be done anywhere and
performed with many
modifications. Get crea-
tive with your family by
doing a circuit of your
favorite bodyweight exer-
cises in the park.
Shoe to try: A shoe
with a mesh and synthetic
upper material is designed
to keep feet cool. Find
this feature in a style,
such as the New Balance,
which also have special
midsoles to ensure com-
fort from start to finish.
New footwear is a
great way for each family
member to show his or
her style, while getting
motivated to meet fitness
goals. Once you’ve got
the plan in place, get into
a fitness routine that
works for your family and
stick with it. For a one-
stop-shopping experience,
visit the Athletic Shop at
Rack Room Shoes in
stores or online.
To help ensure that
everyone meets their fit-
ness goals, consider com-
bining fun family quality
time with your workouts.

(StatePoint) Gather-
ing around the hearth this
winter? You don’t need
to forgo a cozy fire or
beautiful candles. Stay
safe with the following
tips.
Safety Devices
Before using your
fireplace or lighting can-
dles, check all of your
home’s life-saving safety
devices, including carbon
monoxide detectors and
smoke alarms for func-
tionality, and to ensure
batteries are still work-
ing. You should do this
periodically, but especial-
ly around a time of year
with additional fire risks.
Fireplaces
A cozy, charming fire
is the perfect place to
gather on chilly days.
Heatilator, a leader in
fireplace safety and the
number one fireplace
brand used by home-
builders, offers these tips:
• Many household
materials are combus-
tible, so place all cur-
tains, pillows and furni-
ture safe distance from
the fireplace
• Conduct annual
maintenance on your fire-
place, chimney and asso-
ciated elements.
• Outfit your gas fire-
place with a safety
screens to prevent burns.
• Always monitor
children and pets near a
lit fireplace or one that
was recently turned off.
While safety screens are
meant to protect against
contact with hot glass,
remember that the metal
can also heat up, and
your heating equipment --
fireplaces, stoves, inserts
and their surrounding
material -- will remain
hot for some time after
use.
• For more fireplace
safety tips, information
about safety screens --
including retrofit screens
for your gas fireplace --
and help finding your
local dealer for annual
maintenance, visit Heat-
ilator.com.
Candles
Candles add warmth
and splendor to decor, but
they come with certain
risks. Place these burning
beauties in safe locations
away from fabrics and
other flammable objects.
Only burn candles in oc-
cupied rooms. If you
have children or pets,
candle warmers make for a safer alternative that
can offer you peace of
mind.
This winter, take
steps to prioritize safety.

MENU In the Mustangs final
pre district game, they
fell to the Perryton Raid-
ers 22-77. Tristan Sims
led the team scoring sev-
en points. Behind him
was Mason Smith with
six points. Smith also had
one steal that allowed the
team to score. Rounding
out the Mustangs top
three was Ty Ivy who
had five points and three
steals. The Mustangs
fought hard against the
4A team, but unfortu-
nately fell short.
The Mustangs started
off district playing the
Panhandle Panthers.
They fought a good battle
and worked hard; howev-
er, they ended up falling
short 31-55. Coach
Vedran Krtalic had posi-
tive looks on the game,
"The Panhandle game
was a tough one. I
thought where we did a
lot of things well but ulti-
mately could not finish
the play. We competed
well, and kept our com-
posure but simply did not
shoot the ball well
enough to win the game."
As for the players, the
states were spread across
the board. Brady Gabel
led the team with nine
points, a steal, and two
assists. Ty Ivy followed
closely behind with eight
points. Ivy also had two
steals and five assists.
And rounding out the
Mustangs top three
against the Panthers was
Mason Smith who had
seven points, a steal, and
an assist.
Overall, the Mus-
tangs fought with all they
had, but unfortunately
just came up short. They
look forward to the rest
of their season and hope
for the best as district
continues. Keep coming
out to support your
Claude Mustangs.

Emmeri Elliot is this week’s female
player of the week. Emmeri is a
senior this year and has stepped up
her game. She has given great
minutes for the team these past few
weeks. In the game against Mem-
phis Emmeri gave us a spark off the
bench and helped the Lady Stangs
to a huge district win.
Logan Campbell Logan Campbell is one of our most
consistent athletes across the board.
He has a great reliability about him
and a maturity that makes him a
great leader in our program. Logan
understands the game at a high level
and is consistently on the correct
position to make a play. He has
greatly improved his mobility, he
consistently boxes out, and he has
developed a good jump shot. Logan
is a big time part of what we do and
we look forward to see what he can
do the rest of this season.

(StatePoint) When it
comes to helping chil-
dren with cancer, amaz-
ing new things are possi-
ble -- as long as there is
funding. And it’s not just
doctors and researchers
who can make a differ-
ence, it can be anyone
volunteering at their local
hospital, planning fund-
raisers, or simply just
spreading the word – all
paving the way for a
brighter future for chil-
dren with cancer.
Luckily, efforts are
being made to help by
both private businesses
and individuals across
the country. For example,
Aflac has raised and con-
tributed more than $118
million to the cause and
is making strides to help
increase awareness to
encourage others to get
involved. Aflac herein
means American Family
Life Assurance Company
of Columbus or New
York. Since 2013, the
company has donated $2
to The Aflac Foundation
for every use of the
hashtag #Duckprints
across social media, up to
$1.5 million per year. To
learn more about how
you can help, visit aflac-
childhoodcancer.org.
With more support
and increased funding,
more children can get the
care they need.
Letter to the
Editor Dear Mustang Fans,
I write this letter to
share
how EMBARRASSED I
am after attending recent
Junior High and High
School Claude Basketball
Games. I am not
ashamed of any behavior
displayed by our athletes,
but by the conduct of a
portion of fans in attend-
ance at these games.
We have fans that
come out to support and
cheer on our athletes
while they compete,
which is vital to the suc-
cess of any team. Yet,
we have other fans that
choose to show up and
consistently verbally be-
rate officials, yell things
at opposing coaches, and
scream comments at oth-
er teams’ fans. As
coaches we would never
allow our athletes to act
in the manner some fans
have been demonstrating.
The behaviors, man-
nerisms, and habits we
try to instill in our kids
are beginning to be un-
dermined by the poor
decisions and bad behav-
ior showed by certain
fans at the games. As the
Athletic Director and a
proud member of this
district, I speak for all of
the administration when I
voice my disappoint-
ment.
To the fans that come
out and cheer for these
hard-working athletes,
thank you! To the fans
that refuse to act in a
manner that is not a posi-
tive influence on the
game, please don’t attend
any more Claude ISD
athletic competitions.
Feel free to contact
me with any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely, Jarrett Vickers Claude ISD
Athletic Director
