PARTIALITY

“It is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the innocent of justice.” Proverbs 18:5

It was just one of those things. It didn’t really mean Marvin Pincus had lost his mind. Consider this yourself for a minute. Marvin had opened the mail that morning and in it was the Fenwick glass fly rod he’d ordered. Oh, it was used, of course.

For many Americans, the summer grilling and travel season begins this weekend. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service wants to make sure you and your family avoid food poisoning this summer. An estimated 128,000 Americans are hospitalized with food poisoning each year, but foodborne illnesses can be prevented during summer months by properly handling perishable foods during travel, and by using a food thermometer when grilling.

Joei Hamill of Lubbock, Texas, recently signed her Letter of Intent to rodeo at Lamar Community College this fall.  The recent graduate of Frenship High School in Wolfforth, will add her goat tying and breakaway roping skills to the 2018-2019 Lopes Rodeo team.

Hamill is finishing an impressive year, as noted by LCC Head Coach Fred Sherwood.

“Joei is in eighth place in Texas Region 2 goat tying and is headed to the Texas State High School Finals in June,” he said.  “She also ropes very well and should make an immediate impact on our women’s team.”
