Members of the Clarendon College meats team are world champions in meat judging after competing in Australia last week.

Scotta Faulkenberry of Stephenville, Texas, and Cody Shannon of Royse City, Texas, along with two students from Garden City Community College in Kansas, placed first over 13 other international teams from Australian universities, the United States, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia.

The All American team placed first with 4385 out of a possible 5020 points to win the competition and the Roy McDonald Shield at the Australia International Meat Conference last week.  The team bested the second place team from Charles Sturt University Wagga by 46 points.  The University of New England placed third.

Morgan Boyer, of Wallisville, Texas, also represented Clarendon College at the contest and served as an alternate on the All American team.

Individually, Scotta placed 3rd High Individual, Cody placed4th High Individual, and Morgan placed in the top 15.

In the competition, the students are required to judge beef, lamb and pork carcasses and primals, along with identifying a range of beef primals and beef, lamb and pork retail cuts. The judging of carcasses and primals is based on yield, muscling and quality to evaluate their retail value.

“I am extremely proud of these students,”  Clarendon College Coach Tate Corliss said.  “They represented Clarendon College and the United States at the international level and preformed with excellence and humility.”

“We are so thankful for all the support that help make this trip possible,” Morgan said.  “We appreciate our coach, the College, and our Australian hosts.”

Everyone at Clarendon College is extremely proud of this group and their coach.

“Scotta, Morgan, and Cody brought a tremendous amount of pride to Clarendon College and I am also thankful for the tremendous support we received from the College and community,” CC Livestock Judging Coach and Director of Agriculture Johnny Treichel said.

“This group has exceeded expectations all year,” CC President Dr. Robert Riza said.  “What a great achievement to finish their careers at Clarendon.”

The two Garden City Community College students, Alan Caro and Skyler Glenn, placed first and eighth, respectively, in the individual competition.

“The caliber of this year’s participants showed the passion that young people have for the meat and livestock industry and the enthusiasm that they have for driving the industry forward into the future,” outgoing ICMJ President and General Manager of Kerwee Lot Feeders Brad Robinson said.  “The international contingent, with teams from the US, Japan, Korea and Indonesia, allowed students to interact and learn from some of Australia’s major trading partners, building networks for the future.”

A breakdown of the results by contest is as follows:

Primal & Retail Cut Identification – Scotta Faulkenberry, Runner-Up Individual; All American, Runner-up team. Pork Judging – All American, Runner-up team. Lamb Judging – All American, Runner-up team.  Beef Judging – All American, Winning team.  Overall Question & Reasons – Scotta Faulkenberry, Winning Individual; All American, Winning team.

The Clarendon Enterprise has been recognized on both the national and regional levels this month for its work on open government issues, column writing, and editorials.

The local newspaper was recently notified that it has received a third place award and two honorable mentions from the National Newspaper Association, awards that will be presented during the NNA conference this October in San Antonio.

The Enterprise won third place for Best Editorial Page among daily and non-daily papers of circulations less than 6,000 for entries from April 18 and 25, 2013. Those pages featured editorials written by Roger Estlack focused on open government, columns by Fred Gray on child abuse and local elections, and letters written by Chris Moore and Tom Stauder.

Estlack’s editorial on the open records and the Hedley school board received an Honorable Mention among daily and non-daily papers for circulations less than 3,000; and the Enterprise also earned an Honorable Mention among papers of all sizes for Freedom of Information efforts regarding open records and open meetings issues with Hedley ISD and the City of Clarendon.

“That Honorable Mention for Freedom of Information work is a big deal for us,” publisher Roger Estlack said. “That division was wide open. First place was won by the Wyoming Tribune Eagle – the second biggest daily paper in Wyoming, second place was the Arizona Capitol Times in Phoenix, and then next was The Clarendon Enterprise.”

The Enterprise won several state awards last month, including a first place in General Excellence, and then this past Saturday brought home three first place wins and the Sweepstakes Award from the West Texas Press Association convention in Graham.

First place Editorials on open government at the city and HISD were called “scorching” and “excellent” by the contest judges, and first place Columns by Estlack on the passing of Tommie Saye and by Gray on child abuse were highly praised. The paper also won first place Special Sections for its annual Pioneer Edition of The Donley County Leader.

Features by Ashlee Estlack and Ashlyn Tubbs received second place, and the paper got third place for News Writing and Advertising.

The Sweepstakes Award was awarded to the Enterprise for having the most contest points in Division D among small weekly papers in the WTPA.

Attending the WTPA convention and accepting the awards on behalf of the Enterprise were Roger, Ashlee, Benjamin, and Elaina Estlack.

 A Howardwick man connected with the April burglary of the Sandell Drive-In was one of six people sentenced when the district court met in Clarendon last Wednesday, July 16.

Jeffery Lynn Wyrick was convicted for the state jail felony offense of burglary of a building and was sentenced to 21 months in the State Jail Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Wyrick, 32-year-old of Howardwick, was arrested in Donley County by Donley County Deputy Sonny Marasco for the offense that took place on April 23, 2014. Wyrick was later indicted by a Donley County Grand Jury on June 25, 2014.

According to published reports, Wyrick was one of two people arrested after Donley County deputies executed a search warrant at their home at 258 Palacia Drive in Howardwick. Among the items found in the home was a large amount of candy and a trash can believed to have been stolen from the Sandell on either April 23 or April 24.

“Deputy Marasco and other Donley County officials pieced together this excellent investigation that lead to several arrests and this conviction today,” said Inman. “With excellent investigations we are able to successfully remove defendants like this from the community.”

Enterprise files show Wyrick was also arrested in 2013 in connection with three burglaries, including one at the Clarendon Country Club from which a large safe was stolen.

District Attorney Luke Inman prosecuted the cases for the State of Texas with the Honorable Judge Stuart Messer presiding.

Also last week, Brandon Eugene McChristian was placed on probation for a period of three years for the state jail felony offense of forgery. McChristian pleaded guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication for the offense.

Pursuant to the plea agreement, McChristian is required to pay a $1,000 fine to Donley County, $488 in court costs, $1,322.10 restitution, and successfully complete 100 hours of community service. If McChristian violates probation, he could face up to two years in the State Jail Division of the TDCJ.

Mariah Jade Hill was placed on probation for a period of two years for the state jail felony offense of theft.

Hill pleaded guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication for the offense.

Pursuant to the plea agreement, Hill is required to pay a $250 fine to Collingsworth County, $376 in court costs, $1,824.28 restitution, and successfully complete 100 hours of community service. If Hill violates probation, she could face up to two years in the State Jail Division of the TDCJ.

Clarendon College students in three workforce programs will have more paths to choose from following action taken by the Board of Regents last Thursday, July 17.

CC currently offers certifications in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning), vocational nursing, and welding. But the administration proposed and regents approved offering Associate of Applied Science degrees in those programs.

“This will give our students another avenue to pursue,” said CC President Robert Riza.

The AAS degrees will require students to take more core curriculum classes but will let them pursue Bachelor of Applied Science degrees at senior institutions.

On a related note, Dr. Riza also reported that CC had signed an articulation agreement with Texas Tech University that will let CC students bound for Tech access the university’s advisors, pursue eligible BAAS degrees, and allow students completing at least 48 hours at Clarendon before going to Lubbock to reverse transfer hours and receive an associate’s degree from CC.

In other college business, regents approved a schedule of course fees for the new nursing program that prepares students to become registered nurses.

Regents also approved an overload pay schedule, accepted a bid from the Baker Agency on athletic insurance, approved purchasing equipment for the nursing program – infant mannequins and birthing simulators – paid for by a Title III grant, and held a short closed door meeting to discuss personnel.

The board ratified the hiring of Dr. Edward Caraway as a biology instructor in Pampa and of Michael Metcalf as the bookstore manager / athletic insurance coordinator. Resignations were acknowledged from financial aid assistant Shelby Huff and custodian Sonia Martinez at the CC Pampa Center, Childress Center Director Scott Mills, and custodian Tony Baird.

In his president’s report, Riza gave an update on new bleachers that will be installed this fall in the Bulldog Gym, discussed plans for a budget workshop on July 31, and talked about a meeting he attended in Amarillo with elected state officials regarding the collaborative work Clarendon has done with Amarillo College and Frank Phillips College in Borger.

Riza also said CC has signed an agreement with AC regarding Clarendon’s cosmetology program in that city and authorizing the college to offer cosmetology classes for dual credit in Amarillo ISD’s high schools.
