Isolated Storms
Hi 79° | Low 61°
Enjoy the rain today because clearing
will begin tonight
as a week cold front
pushes the remnants
of a tropical depression southeast. This
means we could see
isolated
thunderstorms through today
mixed in with clouds
and sun before skies
turn to mostly sunny
tomorrow. As we
head into the weekend, an upper level
ridge of high pressure
will keep us clear and
calm as temperatures
warm back up to the
mid 80s through next
week.
Borger is already looking forward to the delicious taste of fresh fried fish as the Knights
of Columbus and St. John’s Catholic Church
prepare for their upcoming fish fry fundraiser
this Friday evening at 5:00 p.m. It’s often difficult to secure great seafood in America’s
heartland, and that may explain why the event
is so eagerly anticipated among locals. Naturally, orchestrating such a massive food service is an undertaking in its own right, and
volunteers we’re glad to give an update on
progress.
“It’s quite a task, and it takes about a week
to get everything set up,” says Steve McCarthy of the Knights of Columbus, “Of course
all the cooking doesn’t start until [Wednesday] when we start putting the beans on to
soak ‘em and so on... We’ll have quite a big
group of people bringing the fryers up from
the Knights of Columbus building behind St.
John’s... We’ll haul them up tonight, set them
up, move stuff out of the way, get the roasters
down for the beans, set up the tables, chairs,
serving lines... all that stuff.”
While locals always come for the great food,
they leave knowing their support has contributed to a worthwhile cause. “It’s a Knights of

Columbus function,” Steve explains, “a fundraiser for the charities we support. We have
two fish fries as fundraisers during the year,
then we also help the church with their spaghetti dinner. That’s what really drives us,
raising money for these other charities. It’s a
good fundraiser.” For those unfamiliar with
the Knights’ long history of service, Steve
was glad to share. “The Knights of Columbus started in the United States... Most of the
Catholics at that time were Irish, and they had
no money, so the Knights of Columbus was
started to help out widows; there were a lot of
deaths in those days.”

Phillips donates $10K to HOPE

Since the earliest days of Borger, the local Lions have
played their part in developing the town and helping
those in need across the county. One fascinating story
was shared at the most recent Borger Lions meeting,
and illustrates a shining example of a charitable past
moving on well into the present, and future.
“In the early fall of 1970, a busload of girls from
Girl’s Town, the Borger campus, was on their way to
White Face when their bus broke down,” began Lion
Ray White, speaking to the gathered Lions, “The director of Girls Town in White Face at the time was a Lion’s
member... he contacted a Lion from Amarillo, past District Governor Ed Flood, and he asked Ed to watch the
girls while they were fixing the bus. Ed got down there,
and he couldn’t help but notice that the girls’ coats were
all tattered and torn, and their shoes were all scuffed
and worn, and he thought the Lions could do something
about that.”
The Lions did indeed do something, and in short order the organization created what was not only a chance
for young kids to get the clothing and coats they need,
but also to provide an incredible experience all while
showing them that there are people who care. “They decided to do a district project involving all the clubs in a
district where they would do a shopping spree, and buy
a coat and shoes for every girl at Girls Town, both the
Borger campus and White Face.” Lion Ray explains,
“The very first shopping spree was in November of
1970.” It would be impressive enough to share a full
blown shopping spree with dozen of kids back in the
70’s, but the project has continued on even today, and
has improved the lives of hundreds of local youth.

learned through research and turning it
into what we do, we have contributed to
a 15 percent decrease in the overall cancer death rate between the early 1990s
and 2005. That means that we helped
avoid about 650,000 cancer deaths and
created the potential for more birthday
celebrations. Overall, 11 million cancer
survivors in America will celebrate a
birthday this year. Now that’s a reason
to party, so join us! (Photo courtesy of

There comes a time in every life
where a person must choose to fish
or cut bait as the saying goes. Thankfully, this weekend the choice will be
very easy. The answer is simply to
“fish.” The answer is fish, that is, if
you’re between the ages of 6 and 14
and have a few hours to spare. The annual Small Fry Fishing Tournament
has been a family event since at least
the mid 1980s, as many people remem-
ber their parents taking them, or themselves taking small children throughout
the years.
Organized by the Lake Meredith
Small Fry Fishing Tournament Association [LMSFFTA], a non-profit entity,
the fishing takes place every year in the
stilling basin where the National Park
Service, and the LMSFFTA both stock
fish in an effort to help children learn
to love the time with nature that is fishing. The tournament begins on Saturday
morning with registration and moves
briskly along... See Tournament pg. 2

Small Fry 2013
Tournament
Continued from page 1
Not only experienced young anglers, but even boys
and girls who have never fished are welcome. This is
designed to be a family activity, but even parents who
don’t know how to fish should feel welcome. “We’ll rig
them up, “ said Charlie Kerr, LMSFFTA Secretary, “If
someone comes and needs help we’ll teach them.” The
LMSFFTA even has fishing poles to provide is a child
breaks theirs or if they are unable to afford one.
As in past years, support from local businesses and
individuals has allowed the Small-Fry Fishing Tournament Association to put on the tournament with no
cost to the children. Some of this year’s major sponsors
are United, Plains Dairy, Country Chevrolet, Academy
Sports, LinnEnergy and Phillips 66. There are too many
people that contribute to this event to name them all, but
each one can be sure the association appreciates them.
“There are just so many people that help out with this,
“ said Kerr, “we all come together, because this is about
the kids, about giving them something positive to do,
and promoting family time together.”
The Small-Fry Fishing Tournament is an annual event
which promotes the sport of fishing while encouraging
good clean family fun in a National Park setting. This
event is a wonderful opportunity for families to share
in one of the best recreational activities available in the
Texas Panhandle. There is no entrance fee, and youth of
all income levels are invited to participate. Age groups
will be from 6-8 years, 9-11 years, and 12-14 years, with
prizes awarded in each age category. An adult must accompany the children.
During the event, the Stilling Basin will be closed
to the public. For more information on the tournament
or directions to the Stilling Basin, please contact Lake
Meredith National Recreation Area headquarters at 806857-3151.

Lion Ray concludes, “If you want to get the warm fuzzies and put a smile on a child’s face, this is a great opportunity to do so. Come shopping with us.”

West Texas spirit
burns bright in Stinnett

Spirit on Wednesday night. (Photo by Tabitha Fleming)

Stinnett may be a small
town but it’s definitely big
on school spirit. Last night,
the community came out
in force for the lighting
of the “WT.” The wooden
structure, which is a combination of the letters that
stand for West Texas has
been the solution for the
Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips
CISD since a bonfire disaster in the 1990s. Often
the new traditions put in
place after accidents like
the one that happened in
the 1990s are lackluster
or empty shells of their
former glory. That’s not
the case in Stinnett where
and eager crowd gathered
for the lighting of senior
torches, the application of
symbolic war paint, and
eventually the lighting of
the WT.
This spirit filled celebration is one of the
things that makes PSP an
amazing school for students. The parent support
and community support
is something to be marvelled at. “It’s a huge tradition, I’ve been coming
for years,” said Miranda
Martinez, “We have a lot
of spirit here and it’s just
fantastic,” It truly is a fan-
tastic school to be able to
support.
The new gym is near
completion and soon the
multimillion dollar construction project will be
open to the public. A nice
gym or nice field isn’t what
the igniting of the spirit of
WT is all about, “It’s just
nice, the painting of the
faces, you know, sending them off to war,” said
Sherry Hopkins, grandmother. She was referring
to the practice of applying
‘war paint’ on the faces of
Seniors as a sort of right
of passage.
The event is something
that is quite solemn and
ends with family photos,
with all the parents smiling and proud of their
children who will all to
soon be leaving the local
highschool in pursuit of
bigger dreams.
“It’s really about the
war paint, the football
game, the cheerleaders
we have all these cool
traditions,” said Heather
Hopkins. Her daughter
is a cheerleader and also
plays on the volleyball
team. With the cheerleaders in place to lead the
crowd in a few cheers,
it’s hard no to recognize
the good will and energy
among the teachers and
parents, brothers and sisters, moms and dads.
“We really excited
about the school spirit this
year,” said cheerleading
coach Shannon Harrah,
“it’s been rejuvenated,
everyone has really been
supportive of the students.”
An obviously excited
young man, Asher Wells
summed it up very simply. When asked what
his favorite part of the
event was, he said, “You
light it [the WT] on fire.”
That’s exactly what they
did, and Asher’s father,
Alan Wells, who serves
as the Volunteer Fire
Chief along with his wife
Gena who also volunteers
for the Fire Department
in Stinnett was on hand
just because of that fire.
“We’re just here to make
sure there’s no issue, and
once the even is over,
we’ll put out the fire.” he
explained.
These are the sort of
people that should be
found at weekend sporting events. Families that
live and work in this
close-knit community are
exactly what makes WT
stand out among small
towns, this sort of camaraderie doesn’t happen
everywhere.

Before the festivities concluded, David &

take a brief minute to talk
about the talented musicians. “This is a lot of
practice for them for our
fall marching band competition,” David McEntyre said, “They work
really hard, and we have
some very talented kids.”
The spirit in the PSP
CISD didn’t end when the
pep rally was over, nor did
the obvious friendliness
and welcoming attitude of
all the WT parents, booster club members, community members or friends.
The WT was ignited,
and with flames flickering in the night, the students and community was
decidedly fired up. When
asked if he had anything
he wanted to say about the
students or parents following this enthusiastic
event, Superintendent Bill
Wiggins simply smiled as
if to say the parents and
students had spoken louder than words with their
presence and support.
Toyota sharelunker
season starts October 1
ATHENS—The 30th
season of the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department
(TPWD) Toyota ShareLunker program will begin October 1.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from
Texas waters, public or
private, between October
1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota
ShareLunker
program.
Fish will be picked up by
TPWD personnel within
12 hours.
ShareLunker
entries
that genetic testing shows
are pure Florida largemouth bass are used in a
selective breeding program at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center
(TFFC) in Athens.
The angler catching
each fish decides what
will happen to it following
its use by TPWD. Most
anglers choose to return
the fish to the waterbody
where it was caught. Some
donate the fish to TPWD
for display at TFFC.
Fish that are intergrades,
or hybrids of Florida and
northern largemouth bass,
are not used for spawning
and are returned to the waterbody where caught as
soon as possible. Genetic
testing of ShareLunker
entries shows that pure
Florida largemouth bass
have as much as 18 times
greater chance of producing a 13-pound offspring
as intergrades do.
Anglers entering fish
into the Toyota ShareLunker program receive a
free replica of their fish, a
certificate and the person
who catches the season’s
largest entry will be named
Angler of the Year. If the
Angler of the Year is a
Texas resident, that person
will also receive a lifetime
Texas fishing license.
Prizes and funding for
the banquet arwe provided by Toyota, which also
provides a Tundra pickup
truck for use in picking up
and returning the majority
of lunkers and their offspring.

Romantic squabbles might erupt
today. Bummer, it’s Friday. Knowing this ahead of time, you can tread
softly, smile a lot and be polite. When
in doubt, agree!
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Renovating or redecorating projects might trigger arguments at home.
Well, you have strong opinions about
your home, don’t you? Postpone these
discussions until next Tuesday.

(May 21 to June 20)
Don’t throw your weight around
today, verbally or otherwise, because
you might regret it. If you challenge
someone, he or she will bark right
back at you.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Disputes about money, cash flow
or something you own might occur
today. Tread carefully, because people
mean business -- including you.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Power struggles with others might
take place today, because fiery Mars is
in your sign at crosshairs with Pluto.
Anything that you have overlooked
could trip you up today.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Resist the urge to be pushy with
others, because they will be pushy
back! Serious conflict can take place
today, so be careful. Assume nothing.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You might have difficulty dealing
with friends and members of groups
today, especially if you are aggressive
with your agenda. Just hang back and
wait for the dust to settle.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Your ambition is aroused today!
Nevertheless, if you are pushy with
others, you might regret it, because
everyone is pushy! Egos are tender
today.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Avoid passionate arguments about
religion, racial issues and politics today, because they could get nasty very
quickly. Things are volatile until Tuesday. Keep a low profile.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
This is a poor day to discuss inheritances, shared property and insurance
disputes, because things will get out of
hand. No one wants to compromise.
Stay mum to avoid a fight.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Because an argument between you
and a close friend or partner could escalate quickly today -- try to avoid this.
Things are dicey right now as a lead-up
to Sunday’s Full Moon in Aries. Say
“no” more.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Don’t be pushy in trying to get
your way at work today. Lighten up,
because people are super sensitive and
ready to strike back. Easy does it.

Top-of-mind awareness (TOMA) is defined this way:
"The first brand that comes to mind when a customer is asked an unprompted question about a category. The percentage of customers for
whom a given brand is top of mind can be measured."

Yankees Hall of Fame
catcher Yogi Berra dies at 90
NEW YORK (AP) —
The lovable legend of
Yogi Berra, that ain't ever
gonna be over.
The Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for
his lovable, linguistically
dizzying "Yogi-isms" as
his unmatched 10 World
Series championships with
the New York Yankees,
died Tuesday. He was 90.
Berra, who filled baseball's record book as well
as "Bartlett's Familiar
Quotations," died of natural causes at his home in
New Jersey, according to
Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.
Berra played in more
World Series games than
any other major leaguer, and was a three-time
American League Most
Valuable Player.
For many, though, he
was even better known for
all those amusing "Yogiisms."
"It ain't over 'til it's over"
is among eight of them included in Bartlett's.
"When I'm sittin' down
to dinner with the family,
stuff just pops out. And
they'll say, 'Dad, you just
said another one.' And I
don't even know what the
heck I said," Berra insisted.
Short, squat and with a
homely mug, Berra was a
Yankees great who helped
the team reach 14 World
Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.
"While we mourn the
loss of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we know he is at
peace with Mom," Berra's
family said in a statement
released by the museum.
"We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to
so many. He will truly be
missed."
Berra served on a gunboat supporting the DDay invasion in 1944 and
played for the Yankees
from 1946-63. His teammates included fellow Hall
of Famers Joe DiMaggio,
Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford.
Lawrence Peter Berra,
the son of Italian immigrants, got his nickname
while growing up in St.
Louis. Among his amateur
baseball teammates was
Jack McGuire, another future big leaguer.
"Some of us went to
a movie with a yogi in it
and afterwards Jack began
calling me Yogi. It stuck,"
Berra told the Saturday
Evening Post.
He was a fan favorite,
especially with children,
and the cartoon character
Yogi Bear was named after him.
In 1956, Berra caught
the only perfect game in
World Series history and
after the last out leaped
into pitcher Don Larsen's
arms. The famous moment is still often replayed
on baseball broadcasts.
After his playing days,
Berra coached or managed
the Yankees, New York
Mets and Houston Astros.
He led both the Yankees
and Mets to pennants.
In 1985, his firing as
manager by the Yankees
16 games into the season sparked a feud with
George Steinbrenner. Ber-
ra vowed never to return
to Yankee Stadium as long
as Steinbrenner owned the
team.
But in 1999, Berra finally relented, throwing
out the ceremonial first
pitch of the Yankees' season-opener.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a Yankees legend and American
hero, Yogi Berra," the Yankees posted on Twitter.
Berra, who played in 15
straight All-Star Games,
never earned more than
$65,000 a season. He died
on the same date, Sept. 22,
as his big league debut 69
years earlier.
Growing up, he was
anything but a natural.
Chunky and slow, Berra
was rejected by his hometown St. Louis Cardinals
after a tryout in 1943.
But a Yankees scout recognized his potential and
signed him.
He reached the majors
late in the 1946 season
and homered in his first atbat. The next year, he continued to hit well, but his
throwing was so erratic he
was shifted to the outfield,
then benched.
His breakthrough season came in 1948, when
he hit .315 with 14 homers and 98 RBIs while
improving his fielding.
In 1949, he compiled a
.989 fielding percentage
and did not make an error
in the All-Star Game or
World Series.
"I don't care who the
hitter is," Yankees Hall
of Fame manager Casey
Stengel told the New York
Journal-American, "(Berra) knows just how he
should be pitched to."
Berra was the AL MVP
in 1951, 1954 and 1955.
He holds World Series
records for most hits (71)
and games (75).
He was inducted into
the Hall of Fame in 1972.
"You never think of that
when you're a kid," Berra
said. "But egads, you gotta
be somethin' to get in."
Among his boyhood
friends was Joe Garagiola,
who went on to a career as
a major league player and
broadcaster. In rejecting
Berra at the 1943 tryout,
the Cardinals signed Garagiola, another catcher,
instead.
Berra was born in St.
Louis on May 12, 1925,
the son of Pietro, a laborer
in a brickyard, and Pauline
Berra. He grew up in "The
Hill," or Italian district,
with three older brothers
and a younger sister.
Berra was forced to
drop out of school in the
eighth grade and go to
work to help support his
family. He took jobs in a
coal yard, as a truck driver
and in a shoe factory.
He continued to play
amateur baseball, which
brought him to the attention of major league
scouts.
In 1943, his first professional season with the
Yankees' farm team in
Norfolk, Virginia, was
interrupted by World War
II.
Berra married his wife,
Carmen, in 1949. The
couple met in their native
St. Louis. Carmen died in
2014. Yogi is survived by
their three sons.
