The tournament is now getting to rival general conference as a tool for forecasting the weather. It is a safe bet that regardless of the date it will be sunny for two weeks prior to the tournament, it will rain the week of the tournament, it will clear up around 10 p.m. the night before the tournament, and will wake up the next morning to a downpour or snow on the ground. The next time you want to forecast the weather better than Bob Welti, look up the date of the police golf scramble and you won't be far off if you forecast rain or snow. Despite waking up to about an inch of snow on their cars, the golfers in the annual scramble assembled at the golf course and teed it up. The tournament director, Devin Burns, and golf pro, Bob Rudd, predicted sunshine before tee off, and about five minutes before, the sun came out and it turned out to be one of the better days in the last five years of the tournament. This year's winning team with a score of 61 or eleven under par consisted con-sisted of Cecil Wall (captain), Jim Glenn, Levi Smuin, Jack Voyles and Bill Groves. Three teams tied for second se-cond at 63, nine under par, and had to putt off for the second and third place awards. Each team picked one player and putted off nine holes to determine second and third place. Glen Gardner, Red Hatch and Bob Barnthouse represented the teams. Gardner edged edg-ed out Hatch on the first hole of sudden sud-den death, after the two were still tied in nine. Second place went to Glen Gardner (captain), Jess York, Lynn Hooper, Earl Staley and Lane Fletcher. Flet-cher. Third place went to Red Hatch (captain), Dan Rudd, Ira Gagon, Mel Curtis and Clair Rasmussen. This year's tournament was a great success, and as always the players seemed to have a good time in this worthy cause. The tournament generated around $3,000 to a fund which will be used for community projects, pro-jects, improvement, and worthy causes. Our sincere thanks to the participants, par-ticipants, sponsors and volunteers who helped In organizing the tournament. A special thanks to tournament director, direc-tor, Devin Burns, for making the fifth edition the best one yet. We have a battle plan for next year's weather. Each player will get a rain suit with the registration packet. That should Insure 80 degree temperatures, and sunshine. In the words of Scooter ns for Vernal Mathews who traveled all the way from East Texas to play this year: "Ya'll come back now, ya here ! " See you next year. Police awards student merit...For the second year in a row, the department will sponsor the "Most Inspirational Athlete Award," at the varsity club annual an-nual awards banquet on May 19. It is truly an honor to be able to sponsor and present this award. It goes to the student athlete who through his leadership, leader-ship, spirit, skill and attitude contributes con-tributes most to the program at the school. The coaching staff will select the recipient. I'm glad that they have to do it, I can think of several right the bat. Athletic competition prepares our young people for the rigors of life, and being successful in our society. Police and Youth...The department is joining efforts with the school district in an attempt to address some problems pro-blems in our schools such as drug abuse. The approach will be a positve one with increased visibility by police in the school during the last or three weeks. During that time officers will work in the schools both in the classrooms, in counseling, and with the teachers in identifying and responding respon-ding to problems which occur. This will hopefully lead to a school resource officer next year who will act as a coordinator between the school, students and the department. Planning Plann-ing is underway on this program at the present time. Food for thought...J. Bracken Lee once asked why he did not respond to a negative press article, responded something to the effect that, "one cannot can-not get into a contest with a skunk and come out smelling like a rose." Green thumb Ever feel your thumb must be less than green? Plants often don't do well because of over-watering or under-watering. A new "plant caretaker" care-taker" that waters plants for you can be the perfect answer for those who love plants but hate the fuss you can even forget your plants for a month at a time. It's a pot within a pot, the bottom pot holding a month's supply of water and feeding feed-ing it to the plant as needed.
