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
