Someone had to pay
By Ashlyn Tubbs, Clarendon Enterprise
Joe Robinson is a man rarely seen without
wearing his cowboy hat and a smile on his face.
Leasing land from the JA Ranch for more than
40 years, he is known largely for his ranch
work and accomplishments within the Donley
County community, winning the Pioneer Man
of the Year for 2009.
These are not considered his biggest
achievements, though.
During one point in Robinson’s life, he
was not sure if he would ever return to the
United States, when he left his family in the
Texas Panhandle during World War II to serve
his country 20,000 feet off the ground.
“Nothing is pleasant when something like
that happens,” he said. “It’s something you have
to do, it’s not necessarily something you want
to do. I’m proud of my service, and I’m proud
of my country, so I didn’t flinch because I had
to go.”
Born in Hereford and raised in Denton
County, Robinson graduated from Texas A&M
in 1942, which he said reveals he is not a spring
chicken. He became commissioned as a second
lieutenant in the Army and was sent to Ft. Knox,
instead of Ft. Riley where he initially wanted
to attend. Although he was disappointed at first,
Robinson said he now views this as a blessing.
“They actually did me a favor,” he said.
“Those who went to Ft. Riley trained with
horses; and when they went overseas, they
didn’t know they weren’t going to have their
horses shipped to them.”
During his time at Ft. Knox, he trained with
tanks for about six months until he discovered
an opportunity he could not pass up.
“They were losing a lot of pilots and had
started daylight bombing in Europe, and they
needed pilots,” he said, “so I volunteered.”
Robinson began his pilot training in
Florida and picked up a brand new airplane in
Savanna, Ga. He flew with a 10-man crew to
Nutscorner, Ireland, at age 21.
“If you don’t think that won’t get your
attention out there over the ocean for about ten
hours with nothing in sight,” he said, “you’re
wrong.”
Robinson depended on a navigator, who
was a graduate from Ohio State, to direct him to
their proper destination.
“If you were two degrees off, you would
miss the British Isles, if you got careless, and fly
over France and get shot down before you ever
got in combat,” he said. “The Germans didn’t
care where you were from, they just wanted to
shoot you down.”
His crewmembers consisted of three other
officers and six gunners from states including
Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, California,
Arkansas and Indiana. Promoted to lead pilot,
the lives of these men became in Robinson’s
hands.
“It was a lot of responsibility to be in
charge of everyone, and I didn’t take it lightly
because a lot of things depend on what you
decide,” he said. “Your judgment has to be
better than it should be.”
Once landing in Nutscorner, the crew
members and Robinson took a train unto Belfast
and the British furnished their breakfast, which
consisted of hot tea and rock-hard navy beans.
“So we didn’t eat very much,” he said. “It
was different when you stay in a foreign country
for the first time with the different houses,
vehicles, and everything. It was an experience.”
He vividly remembers his first night spent
overseas.
“They put these huts in the fields and they
scattered them so they would be hard to hit,
and the first night I was there, the German’s
plane got in there and bombed our barracks,” he
said. “Luckily, the dropped bombs missed the
barracks and just threw dirt and rocks all over
them.”
“That kind of got our attention. We didn’t
sleep very good that night. I went to the bomb
shelter because I didn’t know whether there was
going to be more or not. I didn’t know what was
going on”
This would be only one of his many
encounters with bombs. While in London
during a three day pass, Robinson said 169 buzz
bombs hit that night.
“It was the worst night of the war,” he said.
“That evening, the train stopped going into
London and I knew we weren’t at the station
yet. Turns out, he stopped for a buzz bomb to
go past. Those British people had to put up with
a lot.”
Robinson’s first mission was to deliver
supplies to the marquis for the French
underground.
“We went down a valley and they said
there would be smoke signals there,” he said,
“so we dropped our supplies and we flew back
over the mountain and people were just waving
at us.”
He said that was a beautiful day, without a
cloud in the sky. He got to view the Eifel Tower
as they flew over Paris and remembers the pretty
scenery with a twinkle in his eye.
“I wasn’t mad at anybody,” he said. “I was
like, ‘Boy, this looks pretty peaceful’.”
However, right about then, his plane got hit
with flack from another plane. That was all it
took to change Robinson’s initial mindset.
“Four little ol’ holes came into the wing
not far from me,” he said, “If it would have been
over about three feet, it would’ve been right
under me.”
Robinson flew a B17 plane complete with
thirteen 50-caliber guns in formation with 36
other planes, sometimes his wing fitting almost
inside another plane’s wing while turning.
“You had to pay attention,” he said. “You

Early voting is underway
in the Clarendon ISD election to
ratify a new $1.17 property tax
rate. School officials said Tuesday
afternoon that 101 citizens had
already cast early ballots since
polling began last Wednesday.
The school’s current ad
valorem rate is $1.04 per $100
valuation. The proposed 13-cent
increase would raise taxes on a
$100,000 home by $130 per year.
CISD officials say they need
the higher tax to help bridge a projected $434,960 budget deficit for
2013-2014. The school has been
hit with declining revenues due
to state budget cuts and declining
enrollment.

Aldermen talk
about jobless
claims on city
The Clarendon Board of
Aldermen delved into a discussion
about unemployment compensation
claims during last week’s regular
meeting on Tuesday, May 14.
In reviewing the city bills,
Alderman Abby Patten raised
concerns
about
$8,169
in
unemployment claims that had
been paid to former employees. At
least one of those, she said the city
administrator at the time had assured
the board there would be no claim on
because the employee had quit.
City Secretary Machiel Covey
said her records show that employee
was dismissed, and Patten and
Alderman Debbie Roberts said the
city should appeal the issue with
the Texas Workforce Commission.
Covey said she had done that
already, and the commission had
ruled against the city.
“We’re being blamed by the
citizens and the paper for wasting
$30,000 to fire Lambert [Little], but
here is $8,169 that we didn’t even
know about,” Patten said, addressing
Mayor Larry Hicks and Covey.
Alderman Will Thompson said
the issue was over since Covey had
already appealed the claims.
“Once it’s been through
arbitration, you’re done,” Thompson
said.

employee overtime policy again, and

guest commentary
Let’s leave
student loans
to the banks
By Dr. Shawn Ritenour
As millions of students and their parents are
preparing for life after commencement, they’re also
preparing to deal with massive student loans. Increasingly, people are concerned about the student debt
situation brewing on college campuses. The present
state of student debt is not a pretty picture.
According to a report published by the New York
Federal Reserve Bank, college students are borrowing
more than ever and debt delinquency is on the rise.
Student debt almost tripled between 2004 and 2012
and is now just over $1 trillion. In fact, student debt
is the only kind of household debt to rise during the
Great Recession and is now second only to mortgage
debt in magnitude. At the same time, for all age groups
the share of borrowers who are more than 90 days
delinquent on their student loan repayment has almost
doubled.
Some, like Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, claim that student debt is not inflating a higher
education bubble that will cause a financial crisis,
because the vast majority of student loans are backed
by the U.S. government. The taxpayers are on the
hook and not the banks, so banks will not be in financial distress if students default.
Bernanke’s claim is revealing. It’s clear that he
thinks that the financial system is the economy. It
seems that if the financial system is afloat, everything
is okay. Such reasoning ignores that what helps people
achieve their ends is not money per se but the actual
producer and consumer goods that are produced
throughout the social economy.
Alas, investment made possible by subsidized
loans of newly created money contributes to an unproductive use of resources. Thus the economic problem
with government-guaranteed student loans. Consider:
In the first place, it is not at all clear that the
educational payoff matches the expense. According
to data from the Collegiate Learning Assessment, 45
percent of students demonstrated no significant learning in their first two years of college and 36 percent
demonstrated no learning in four years. According to
the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, from 1992
to 2003, literacy among college graduates declined at
about the same rate that enrollment grew; all the while
government grants and guaranteed student loans significantly increased.
This dismal educational payoff is largely because
much of increased subsidized tuition payments have
been absorbed by increases in personnel. For example,
in 2007, colleges utilized 13.1 percent more employees to educate the same number of students than they
did in 1993. The vast majority of growth has been in
administrative staff. From 1976 to 2005, the number
of administrative staff per student more than doubled;
from 3 per 100 students to more than 6 per 100 students. The financial effect of administrative bloat is
magnified by the fact that the average mid-level and
senior-level administrative salaries are noticeably
higher that the average faculty salary. Between 1993
and 2007, while expenditures per student for instruction increased 39.3 percent, expenditures per student
for administration increased by 61.2 percent
Making the college experience available requires
using many resources—land, labor, buildings, desks,
computers, energy, and all sorts of amenities. These
are all resources that have alternative uses. If they are
being allocated to provide education merely due to
government subsidies, it is likely they would be more
valued in other uses.
That student debt is fueling malinvestment is
indicated by the rising debt delinquencies. Like the old
gray mare, the college wage premium ain’t what she
used to be. Increasing default rates prove this. What
matters is not only the level of a post-college salary,
but the level of that salary relative to the cost of college. As higher salaries fail to keep pace with college
tuition, an increasing number of students are put at
risk of not paying off their loans.
Additionally, many students who have borrowed money for college do not complete college.
Six-year college completion rates at public four-year
institutions have remained just below 55 percent for a
decade. At the same time, the four-year rate has been
stuck around 30 percent.
Colleges, universities, and their students are
caught in a costly game of leap frog. The perceived
need for financial aid and loans results in more government subsidies. More debt results in more demand
for college schooling and consequently higher tuition.
Higher tuition increases the perceived need for more
debt. More student debt increases the demand for college which increases tuition price. On it goes.
The only solution is to get government out of the
business of subsidizing student debt. Then, at least
decisions of students to borrow and banks to lend—
and colleges to set tuition—will be based on economic
reality rather than the shifting sand of monetary inflation.

North Pole moving, Tea Party to blame
Bad news, folks! The magnetic
north pole is galloping to the northeastward at close to 40 miles a year.
Historically, it’s been creeping along at
less than 10 miles an year for the past
few centuries. Magnetic north, which is
the place where compass needles actually point, is near the geographic North
Pole, which is currently located near
Ellesmere Island, just off the Canadian
mainland.
The magnetic north pole has moved
little since it was first discovered by
scientists in 1831. Then in 1904, about
the time that Teddy Roosevelt’s administration kicked into high gear, the pole
began shifting to the northeast, which
just happens to be to the right on a map
of the US, at about nine miles a year –
which is almost light speed in geological
time.
At the end of Reagan’s administration, and the beginning of Daddy
Bush’s term, it sped up again. Then in
2007, close to the end of Dubya’s two
“compassionate conservative” terms,
scientists verified that it again sped up to
its current speed of 34 to 37 miles a year.
That folks, is faster than warp speed in
geological time.
Now, in the interest of scientific
accuracy, it must be noted that the scientist blame the shift on changes in the
earth’s inner core, which is composed of
a solid iron center surrounded by a rapidly spinning liquid metal, and climate
change.
Well, we can’t do too much about
the earth’s core, but we can address climate change, and the causes of said climate change – more particularly global
warming. Republicans, and most of the
tea party Republicans, have long denied
global warming and its causes. Naturally, most tea party types remain true to
their early Neanderthal roots and continue to deny man made global warming.
The movement of the geographical
North Pole works something like this:
the Earth is a
spinning sphere
that is irregularly shaped,
thus causing
it to wobble.
The wobble
is called the
Chandler
Wobble, and
results in a
by fred gray
southeasterly
movement of
the North Pole by about six centimeters
every 433 days. The Chandler Wobble
is thought to be the result of changes
in pressure at the bottom of the oceans
caused by fluctuations in salinity, temperature, and ocean circulation – all are
also negatively affected by global warming.
So, as you can see, the right wing
of the Republican Party, better known as
the tea partiers, must take some of the
blame for the movement of both north
poles, since they refuse to do anything
useful in mitigating the deleterious
effects of the aforementioned climate
change, a.k.a., global warming.
Even more daunting are the recent
suggestions that our junior non-Texan,
Texas Senator Ted Cruz may be lining
up a run for the presidency in 2016.
Yikes! As you may or may not know,
non-Texan Texas Senator Cruz is absolutely aghast that anyone still believes
in climate change and global warming,
especially after his previous pontifications on the subject. According to his
thinking, climate change is a left-wing
conspiracy designed to separate folks
from their guns and their God. After all,
according to Senator Cruz, all non-right
wing ideologies are defacto left-wing
conspiracies designed to separate folks
(mostly God-fearing Texans) from their
guns and their God.
Personally, I think we ought to take
every opportunity we can to disparage
the quick,
the dead,
& fred
our non-Texan Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
The man, is after all, a Yankee dressed
in sheep’s clothing. Granted, he was
Dubya’s attack dog, and was mighty
good at it. I will admit that I just do not
like the man. He’s rude, full of himself,
and does not represent what I think are
good Texas attributes.
I also think he is dangerous. He
most assuredly is not a consensus builder
and does not work well within his own
party, much less the opposing party –
which, unfortunately, also has many
flaws. Ted Cruz is an ideologue of the
worst sort. He is smart enough to think
that he is omniscient, yet deeply flawed
enough to be unaware of what it takes to
be a good leader. After all, he has never
had to govern. He has basically been a
hired gun to advocate Dubya’s policies
and positions in front of various courts
throughout the land, and to gut the opposition in the process.
Of course, almost all of the tea
party types deny the truth of climate
change and global warming, even in the
face of continuing scientific evidence
that indicates that global warming is real
and is getting worse. Unfortunately, it
probably doesn’t matter as much as it
once did. Scientific studies indicate that
it will now take several thousand years to
undo the damage caused by man-made
climate change. I’m fairly certain that
neither I nor my immediately following
descendants will live to see any improvement whatsoever.
So, as both poles move eastward
towards Greenland, we may witness
unusual and miraculous natural phenomena as we go boldly into the future.
Who knows, maybe the Rocky Mountains will follow along behind, pulled
along by the rapidly moving magnetic
field? Wouldn’t that be something?
Even more frightening, non-Texan,
and tea party darling, Texas’ Junior
Senator Cruz might actually win the
presidency.

Is this the United States or China
By US Sen. John Cornyn
The events that have unfolded
over the past week are showing big
government at its worst. First we
learned more details about the Obama
administration’s coordinated attempt
to misrepresent the September 2012
terrorist attack in Benghazi, which
claimed four American lives. Then a
senior IRS official acknowledged that
her agency had deliberately targeted
conservative groups for harassment.
Meanwhile, the administration was
forced to admit that its top health
regulator has been soliciting industry
funds to help implement Obamacare.
Finally, we discovered that the Justice
Department has cast an extraordinarily
wide net to capture the phone records
of several journalists who work for the
Associated Press.
All of these events highlight
the Obama administration’s massive
credibility gap. As someone who has
spent a career in public service, I want
government to work. As a conservative,
I want government to be as small and
efficient as possible. As an American,
I cannot tolerate a government that
actively deceives the people it is meant
to serve, whether through negligence,
incompetence, or malfeasance.
In 2011, my office began receiving
complaints of unfair treatment by
the IRS from various conservative
groups in Texas. They cited excessive,
unreasonable, and improper inquiries
from the IRS and feared that they
were being targeted for their political
beliefs. I sent multiple letters to then–
IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman
expressing my concerns and asking for
an investigation. He categorically denied
that the IRS was targeting specific
groups.
Two years later, we learned that he
was wrong and the conservative groups
were right: The IRS was systematically
targeting people of a certain ideology –
one that happens to be at odds with the
current administration. Furthermore, we
have learned that senior IRS officials
were aware of these accusations as
early as June 2011. That is outrageous,
but sadly not surprising from an
administration that has chosen time and
again to deceive the American people.
To review: Four American patriots
are dead; U.S. citizens are being
deliberately targeted and harassed
by their government; journalists are
understandably concerned about
an intrusive Justice Department
investigation; and a cabinet secretary
is strong-arming the health industry to
“voluntarily” fund a partisan, highly
unpopular policy. Is this America or
China? Any one of these issues is a
“scandal.” Together they reflect an
administration that is deeply flawed and
has lost the faith of the public it is sworn
to protect.
Board members can get training
I grew up in Donley County and
still love to come back. I support the
county and have best wishes for the
people here.
We have been caught up in the
controversy arising in the Hedley School
Board of Trustees and the Clarendon
City Aldermen.
In discussions about these subjects
with friends, I thought back to when,
while sitting on the school board in
Hedley, we only wanted to produce the
best opportunity for our children. No
agenda, just hard work distributing
money where it did the most good.
The first thing that confronted me
was my lack of knowledge. There is
training for any board you want to be on.
Super intellect from the past is available.
Attending this training and seminars,
I grew into the job. Training will help
members with proper decision making
that helps the community and in the end
limits discourse.
With the community behind these
well trained board members doing their
civic duty, who knows where we can go.

A small thing can
make a big difference
I would just like to make a
suggestion in light of the devastating
tornadoes hitting Oklahoma. I would
recommend that everyone who plays
the lottery to take the money they would
spend on one day of lottery tickets
and donate that money to the tornado
victims. It would be a small thing
for everyone, but it could make a big
difference.

Be warry of scams with insurance and Facebook
Scammers Use Launch of
Affordable Care Act Insurance for
ID Theft Con
Consumers nationwide are
reporting receiving scam phone
calls claiming they are eligible
for health insurance cards through
the Affordable Care Act. But the
insurance is not available until
October, so don’t let scammers tell
you otherwise. How the Scam Works:
You receive a call from someone
claiming to be from the federal
government. The caller informs you
that you’ve been selected as part of
the initial group of Americans to
receive insurance cards through the
new Affordable Care Act.
However, before he/she can mail
your card, the caller needs to collect
some personal information, such as
bank account and social security
numbers. Of course, it’s a scam.
There is no card, and enrollment for
insurance under the Affordable Care
Act doesn’t start until October 1.
Sharing personal information with a
scammer puts you at risk for identity
theft. Scammers can use the info
they obtain to open credit cards in
your name or steal from your bank
account.
How to Spot a Scam:
Scammers often pose as government
workers and take advantage of
the confusion surrounding new or
complex policies. Here are tips for
dealing with this type of scam.
Hang up, don’t press any
buttons and don’t call the scammer
back. We all like to have the last
word, but returning the phone
call may just give the con artist
information he can use.
The government typically
doesn’t call, text or email.
Government agencies normally
communicate through the mail, so
be very cautious of any unsolicited
calls, text messages or emails you
receive. Also, if the government is
contacting you, they should already
have your basic personal info, such as
address and social security number.
Don’t trust caller ID. Scammers have
technology that lets them display any
number
or
organization
name on your
screen.
Never
give
out
personal
information
such as credit by bob watson
card numbers,
bank account numbers, dates of
birth or social security numbers
to unfamiliar callers. For More
Information. Check out the Federal
Trade Commission’s alert for this
scam and learn more about a related
issue, Medicare scams, on BBB’s
blog.

Scam Type: Rogue Application,
bob’s
whittlin’
Survey Scam Trending: March 2013.
Why it’s a Scam: Clicking the scam
link prompts you to install a rogue
Facebook application. Anytime the
URL starts off with apps.facebook.
com/app_name_here, you should
know that Facebook didn’t develop
the app. Scammers often try to trick
users by promoting apps promising
Facebook features, upgrades, etc.
If an unsuspecting user installs
the application, this will allow them
to spam their scam messages to all
of your friends. Do you really want
to let an unknown (scam) developer
have this much access to your
Facebook information? These scams
are known to use multiple Facebook
apps to spread virally across
Facebook. Anytime you install a
third party Facebook application,
you give the application developer
access to your personal data. Always
be very selective on the apps you
install, and only install them from
well-known,
trusted
sources.
Continuing on with the installation
redirects you to a survey scam: Tell
Us What You Think of Facebook. It
is a Scam.
We recommend that users
install BitDefender Safego, a
Facebook application that will scan
your News Feed and help keep you
safe from scams like this.
How to Deal with the Scam:
If you did make the mistake of
installing the rogue application you
are now spamming the very same
spam message to your friends.
Clean-up your newsfeed and profile
to remove references to the scam.
(click the “x” in the top right hand
corner of the post).
You also need to remove the
app from your Facebook account.
Click the down triangle—>Account
Settings—>Apps to remove this
and other rogue applications. If
you or your Facebook friends are
falling for tricks like this, it’s time
to get yourself informed of the
latest threats. Be sure to join the
Facecrooks page on Facebook to be
kept informed of the latest security
issues.
Honor troops on Memorial Day
This weather is so predictable
– no rain, record breaking heat, and
high winds. I complain because of
the small garden and flowers, but I
would be very, very worried if the
livelihood of my family were at stake.
So all you farmers and ranchers out
there, this prayer is for you, and I ask
Jesus to give you strength to endure.I
don’t know what the rest of the world
would do without you.
We have no rain while our
neighbors in Kansas and Oklahoma
were hit with tornadoes. My family
in Wichita, Kan., were not hit, and
for that we are grateful. Watching the
news, you see so much devastation
and loss with entire communities
destroyed. It reminds me of the
pictures I have seen of Howardwick
when it was hit in the early morning
of April 18, 1970, with an F4
tornado. The night of April 17 and
18 left sixteen people dead and 42
injured in Donley County. I would
hope everyone is more prepared with
shelters and loss of life would not be
so great.
Memorial Day weekend is
coming – a day that began during the
Civil War to commemorate Union
and Confederate men who died
in the war.

held on May 30. Slowly the name
was changed to Memorial Day and Howardwick First Baptist church members held a Welcome 2 Clarendon supper for the pipeline

Welcome to Clarendon
Local church welcomes pipeliners
On Friday evening May 17 at
the Donley County Activity Center,
the Howardwick First Baptist
Church had a Welcome 2 Clarendon
Hamburger Supper for the pipeline
employees.
Approximately 100 pipeline
employees and their family members
attended and fellowshipped with
35 church members. Music was
provided by Danny Mullins, Mac
Miller, Norma Hall, and Nelda
Grinder with an impromptu song in
Spanish by one of the guest.
The homemade dessert table
was especially popular, and a
special thanks is given to Gene and
Kathy Hommel for providing the
hamburger meat for the event.
Donley County is blessed in
many ways including financially
to have these people living in our
community for a few months. Please
remember to be Texas friendly so
they will have memories of what
residing in our midst should mean.

AgriLife Extension district recognizes Haynes
Donley County Extension
Agent Leonard Haynes was among
the honorees recognized by the
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension
Service District 1, headquartered in
Amarillo, during its annual awards
program on May 14. Haynes received
an Outstanding Outcome Program
Award in the category of Agriculture
and Natural Resources for his
program on “Weed Management for
Cotton and Peanuts.”
Additionally, the Donley
County 4H program was honored
with Achievement Awards in two
categories. The local 4H was among
the top five programs for 2013
District Contest Participation along
with Potter, Randall, Sherman, and
Moore counties, and the Donley
County 4H also posted the Highest
Enrollment Increase for 2012-2013
along with Hutchinson, Wheeler,
Deaf Smith, and Potter counties.
The High Plains Food Bank and
Rich Kochenower were recognized
as “Friends of Extension.”
Brandon Dukes, AgriLife
Extension district director, said it is
important to recognize those people
and organizations that “help us carry
out our AgriLife Extension mission
on a daily basis.”
He said the High Plains Food
Bank, represented by Edna Tucker,
Zack Wilson, Andrea Patton, Broc
Carter and Maria Stickel, has been
a key organization on numerous
projects, specifically programs
impacting food-insecure families.
Kochenower, although with
Oklahoma
State
University’s
Extension Service, has been a
tremendous help to county agents
in the northern Texas Panhandle
during the absence of an agronomy
specialist in the Amarillo district
office, Dukes said. In addition, the
Oldham County Commissioners
Court - County Judge Don Allred
and commissioners Quincy Taylor,
Clay Crist, Roger Morris, Billy
Don Brown - was presented
the Outstanding Contributor to
Extension Programming award.
Oldham County Commissioners
were recognized for their continual
support of AgriLife Extension
programming, he said.
“In addition to their outstanding
support of the local program, the
Oldham County Commissioners,
along with Judge Allred, have
provided exceptional leadership in
the area interpreting the mission of
AgriLife Extension to stakeholders
issue tickets to drivers disobeying
traffic laws in an effort to keep our
roadways safe.”
Last year during the Memorial
Day weekend, DPS troopers arrested
609 drunk drivers and issued more
than 6,000 speeding citations,
nearly 1,400 seat belt and child
safety restraint tickets, and cited 825
drivers for driving without insurance.
Additionally, troopers arrested 264
wanted fugitives and 219 suspects
with felony warrants. The increased
traffic enforcement also resulted in
10 drug cases and 16 stolen vehicles
recovered.
Drivers can take a variety of
measures to help ensure safe travel
during the Memorial Day weekend,
including: Slow down – especially

Aspirin May Prevent Breast Cancer
For more than 20 years medical researchers have suggested,
based on various evaluations, that aspirin may have a role to play
in the prevention and possibly the treatment of different types
of cancer. Recently a group of researchers from the VA Medical
Center in Kansas City showed that a daily low-dose of aspirin
slowed the growth of two types of breast cancer in test animals.
In some cases, aspirin was thought to have shrunk tumor cells and
possibly stopped tumors from spreading to new tissue sites. The
findings of this group were presented at the annual meeting of the
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
For many years the medical media has also reported other types
of cancer for which aspirin appears to have the potential to slow
or prevent. These include cancer of the prostate, esophagus,
colon, and skin. Researchers are not sure how aspirin does this,
but theories include aspirin’s primary anti-inflammatory effect in
the body or perhaps the idea that aspirin targets or interferes in
some way with the body’s stem cells. Stem cells are where tumor
growth is thought to begin.

Saints’ Roost Museum to host annual members only dinner
The Saints’ Roost Museum
Board of Directors will be
hosting the annual members only
appreciation dinner on the grounds
of the museum Friday evening, June
7, at 6:30 p.m. This is going to be
a really fun evening as a Hawaiian
Luau is being planned.
The featured guest artist this
year is our own local artist, Mary
Martin. Mary grew up on a farm
in Lakeview and graduated from
Lakeview High School. She attended
Clarendon College, graduating in
1970. She married Mitchell Martin
that summer. They have one daughter,
Jessie, and four grandchildren.
Mary has always loved art and
started sketching at a very early age.
She did not begin painting until after
she and Mitchell married. Mary’s
earliest paintings were mostly
portraits and scenery. She has also
done lots of western art and still life.
Her love of western art and scenery
probably derived from being a
rancher’s wife and living on ranches.
Mary retired from the USDA’s
Farm Service Agency in November
2012 and now has time to pursue
her passion of painting. Not ready
to really retire, Mary is working to
build a business and do paintings for
the public.
Mary will have several
paintings on display in the museum
for all to view and enjoy.
If you are not already a museum
member, we urge you to come on
out and enjoy the evening. Annual
memberships are available at the
door for $25.00 annually per family.

Local veteran remembers
service
in World War II
Continued from page one.
couldn’t be joking off, because if
they turn, they didn’t always tell you
and weather conditions also affected
the formation. They won’t let you
fly that close now-a-days, unless
you are in the service. The closer the
formation, the better fire power you
have.”
Robinson and his crew flew
formation during daytime, while the
British flew at nighttime. He said the
24-hour bombing was relentless.
“I can see why those Germans
would be mad at you if you got shot
down,” he said. “You would hope the
army got to you before the civilians
did, because you’re tearing up their
houses and killing their families.”
Robinson said the United
States’ anger toward Germany was
evident by how Munich had very
little houses with roofs on them from
the bombs.
“We just tore that city all to
pieces,” he said. “Munich is now
built on top of the rubble from all the
bombings.”
Robinson and his crewmembers
had plenty of close calls during their
missions. He said they once got hit in
the bomb bay and had 54 holes in the
plane when he finally landed, but no
one was hurt.
Another time, Robinson made a
decision that saved their lives while
making a raid on Munich. During
the long flight, Robinson said the
plane began to run out of gas. He
immediately left the European
coast and started letting down from
20,000 feet to a main landing place
in England.
After calling in to receive
permission to land, he was luckily
right in front of the runway, but
another plane flew into the other side
of the landing, which had wounded
aboard. Robinson decided to chance
the landing and missed the opposite
plane by about 20 seconds. He will
never regret this decision.
“When I turned off the runway,
I gave the outboard No. 4 engine
the gas and it quit on me because it
was out of gas,” he said. “And when
I parked the plane, I gave the No.1
engine the gas to park it, and it was
out of gas. So if I had tried to go
around, I never would have made it.
Things like that you remember.”
Although Robinson was able to
keep all of his crew members safe, he
lost two men from his crew after they
filled in for another crew’s members:
one was taken prisoner of war and
survived, the other died in a plane
crash.
“I got pretty attached to all of
them,” he said. “The rest of my crew
and I were lucky we never had much
firing activity.”
Even though Robinson went on
30 missions, he said the only thing
that became routine was making sure
everyone set their watches by the
second because two or three seconds
could make a huge difference in
their formation. He said his bravery
largely came from being in his
twenties.
“When you’re young, you don’t
worry much,” he said. “I thought I
was bulletproof, and I guess I was
because I never did get a Purple
Heart.”
Another close call Robinson
experienced was during his last raid,
one he said made him sweat. The raid
was on Berlin, and German fighters
hiding in the sunlight knocked down
13 of their 36 planes.
“I never did worry much until
the last mission,” he said, “and then I
thought, ‘I want to go home’.”
Robinson did not have to wait
much longer. After surpassing the
required 100 points by seven from
his missions ran and medals received,
he was released to return home after
serving three-and-a-half years.
“It was great to get back into the
United States,” he said. “I came back
with a whole bunch of troops and I
was greeted once I got to Amarillo.
My folks were in Dalhart then.”

war by far was returning home, he
said.
“Home is always the best place,”
he said. “There’s always some place
that may look a little greener on the
other side, but I don’t know whether
it is or not once you get there.”
In honor of his service,
Robinson has received three separate
medals for his many missions
completed and surviving the war.
“Now they’re pretty tarnished,”
he said. “They wouldn’t pass
inspection.”
He even received a medal
from the French for helping raid the
Germans.
“When the Frenchman awarded
me with that medal, he kissed both
my cheeks,” he said. “I didn’t know
whether to break and run or hit him.”
Robinson is the only remaining
survivor of his crew. He said he

MODEST APPAREL
In 1Timothy 2:9 Paul warns that women should wear modest
apparel. He states that they shouldn’t wear things that draw
undue attention to themselves. Paul tells us that in Galatians
5:19 that lewdness is condemned by God. Lewdness and
immodesty plague our society today, for men and women. As
summer comes blazing in, people tend to wear less clothing.
That’s not a problem if properly covered.
Many use the heat or swimming as a reason to wear
provocative or revealing clothing. The question one needs to
ask: “Am I in a state of undress that would displease God?”
“Am I causing others to stumble?”
I know that some say that everyone should not look or mind
their own business, and that’s true up to a point. We all should
try not to stare at others or lust for others, but that doesn’t
negate everyone’s duty to properly attire him or herself.
Some argue over who invented the mini-skirt of the 60’s but
there is no doubt that when that envelope was pushed, nothing
else was too risky for some. One who claimed to help make
it trendy was asked why the mini-skirt was invented in the first
place. The answer was simple: SEX. It was said to invite men
and the message was sex. Over the years people won’t put it
that way but that is basically what revealing clothing is for, to
attract the attention of the opposite sex. Once the attention is
grabbed, what then? The “advertising” was done for a reason!
If you look around, you have to say a part of the reason for
the explosion of single mothers and fatherless kids is the lax
morals that have been adopted over the last 50 years. Lax
morals concerning clothing, sex, those not willing to work,
government hand-outs, have eaten away the moral fabric of
this country.
Men, you should help dress your daughters and wives. They
don’t see themselves as we see them. Ladies help others not
stumble by wearing clothing that invites stares. There are also
“little” eyes that are watching. They need an example of purity
and modesty. Our society would be much better off if others’
flesh was covered up. God bless you and keep you.

Property Tax Protest
and Appeal Procedures
The law gives property owners the right to protest actions concerning their property tax appraisals.
You may follow these procedures if you have a concern about:
*the market or special appraised value placed on your property;
*the unequal appraisal of your property;
*the inclusion of your property on the appraisal roll;
*exemptions that may apply to you;
*qualification for an agricultural or timber appraisal;
*the taxable status of your property;
*which local governments should be taxing your property;
*the ownership of property;
*the change of use of land receiving special appraisal;
*any action taken by the appraisal district that applies to and adversely affects you.
Informal Review: Your Appraisal District staff urges you to review the value records of your property. The Appraisal
Review Board hearings are set for July 23, 2013, at the Donley County Appraisal District office. Some protests result
from errors or misconceptions which we are pleased to correct.
Review by the Appraisal Review Board: If you can't resolve your problem informally with the county appraisal
district (CAD) staff, you may have your case heard by the appraisal review board. The appraisal review board (ARB)
is an independent board of citizens that reviews problems with appraisals and other concerns listed above. It has the
power to order the appraisal district to make the necessary changes to solve problems. If you file a written request for
an ARB hearing (called a notice a protest) before the deadline, the ARB will set your case for a hearing. You'll receive
written notification of the time, date, and place of the hearing. If necessary, you may request a hearing in the evening
or on a Saturday or Sunday. Prior to your hearing, you may ask to review the evidence the CAD will use to uphold
their determination. The law provides that before a hear¬ing on a protest or immediately after the hearing begins, you
or your agent and the CAD shall each provide the other with a copy of any written material intended to be offered or
submitted to the ARB at the hearing. To the greatest extent practicable, the hearing will be informal. You or a designated agent may appear in person to present evidence or you may send notarized evidence for the ARB to review at
your hearing. The CAD representative will present evidence about your case. The ARB will make its decision based
on the evidence presented. In most cases the CAD has the burden of establishing the property’s value by a preponderance of the evidence presented. You can get a copy of a protest form from the appraisal district office at 304 S Kearney
or P O Box 1220, Clarendon 79226; phone 806-874-2744.
Note: You shouldn't try to contact ARB members outside of the hearing. The law requires ARB members to sign an
affidavit saying that they haven't talked about your case before the ARB hears it.
Review by the District Court or an Arbitrator: After it decides your case, the ARB must send you a copy of its
order by certified mail. If you're not satisfied with the decision, you have the right to appeal. If you choose to go to
court, you must start the process by filing a petition within 45 days of the date you receive the ARB's order. As an
alternative and within the same time period, you may file a request for binding arbitration with the county appraisal
district in certain cases.
Tax Payment: You must pay either the amount of taxes due on the portion of the taxable value not in dispute or the
amount of taxes due on the property under the order from which the appeal is taken.
More information: You can get more information by contacting your appraisal district at 304 S Kearney or P O Box
1220, Clarendon 79226; phone 806-874-2744. You can also get a pamphlet describing how to prepare a protest from
the appraisal district or from the State Comptroller's Property Tax Division at P O Box 13528, Austin, TX 78711-3528.

Usual Deadline: 30 days after a notice of appraised value was mailed to you. Late protests are allowed if you miss
the usual deadline for good cause. Good cause is some reason beyond your control, like a medical emergency. The
ARB decides whether you have good cause. Late protests are due the day before the appraisal review board approves
records for the year. Contact your appraisal district for more information.
Special Deadlines: For change of use (the appraisal district informed you that you are losing agricultural appraisal
because you changed the use of your land), the deadline is before the 30th day after the notice of determination was
mailed to you.
For ARB changes (the ARB has informed you of a change that increases your tax liability and the change didn't result
from a protest you filed), the deadline is before the 30th day after the notice of the determination was mailed to you. If
you believe the appraisal district or ARB should have sent you a notice and did not, you may file a protest until the day
before taxes become delinquent (usually Feb. 1) or no later than the 125th day after the date you claim you received
a tax bill from one or more of the taxing units that tax your property. The ARB decides whether it will hear your case
based on evidence about whether a required notice was mailed to you.
*The deadline is postponed to the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday.
