A Good Time Had By All at Spring Fling


1100 Springs provided the music for the street dance. (Click Play button to watch.)

On a day when the weather couldn’t have been more perfect, folks from Roscoe and surrounding areas spent the afternoon and evening enjoying themselves in downtown Roscoe at the second annual Spring Fling.

The First Annual Screw Terlingua Chili Cookoff kicked off the celebration in the outdoor area of the Lumberyard with contesting teams filling the air with aromas of several varieties of chili ranging from traditional to highly creative—but all of them good, as I can testify since I was one of the five judges.

The proceeds for the cookoff, almost $600, went to the Open Door Center, Roscoe’s non-profit child care facility. 

Street vendors on Cypress Street sold their wares—spuds, tacos, burritos—while the Fire Department sold raffle tickets for a new barbecue pit to be given at the Independence Day Celebration on July 7.

Tio Muñoz was the lucky winner of the 42” flat-screen HD television set raffled off by the RCHS senior class to raise money for the Blowout, their upcoming post-graduation party.

The Roscoe Historical Museum was open and featured a display for the Roscoe, Snyder & Pacific Railway with mementos and a new photo album that includes a 22-page written history of the railroad. Also new to the museum was a digital picture frame which showed a succession of about a hundred photos of early-day Roscoe.

Music for the street dance "on the bricks" between the Roscoe State Bank and Old Town Park was provided by 1100 Springs, a country band from Dallas, and the fireworks show came off without a hitch and was enjoyed by all.

Once 1100 Springs finished their second set at about ten o’clock, the official festivities were over, but many of the adults who weren’t ready yet to call it a night moved on to the Lumberyard, where Roscoe’s own Lyndall Underwood & the Dusty Creek Band entertained the crowd on the outdoor stage until midnight.

All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day and one which no doubt is enhancing Roscoe’s growing reputation in the Big Country as a community full of life and activity.

ROSCOE MAKES APPEARANCE ON PBS EARTH DAY SPECIAL
 
The Roscoe Wind Farm has once again appeared in the national media.  This time it was part of a PBS documentary celebrating Earth Day on Sunday entitled “Powering the Planet.”  It showed on KNCT-TV, Direct TV's PBS station, but not on KERA-TV, the PBS channel provided on Dishnet.  However, the segment entitled "Yes, In My Back Yard," about Roscoe and an island in Denmark, is now available on the Internet.

You can watch it by clicking on the Play arrow in the screen below.  The segment is nine minutes long, and the part about Roscoe doesn’t really kick in until about four minutes in, but if you have time, try watching the whole thing.  You can view it full screen by clicking on the square in the bottom right part of the screen below.



The Weather Channel Series, "Turbine Cowboys," also featuring footage of the Roscoe Wind Farm and interviews with local personalities, has also begun with two segments airing on the Weather Channel last night.  The episodes are not available on line, but the trailer for one of the episodes featuring Roscoe can be seen by clicking here.

Saturday's Spring Fling to Feature Fireworks, Fun, and Country Music

1100 Springs from Dallas will play the street dance on Saturday.
The City of Roscoe will celebrate the coming of Spring this Saturday with its second annual Spring Fling downtown.  

Highlights include street vendors on Cypress Street and Broadway, a kids’ area with a bounce house and other inflatables in Old Town Park, a chili cookoff at the Lumberyard, a street dance “on the bricks” with the country music band 1100 Springs, and a fireworks show to top it all off. 

Sponsored events will begin with the First Annual Screw Terlingua Chili Cookoff. Check-in and set-up begins Saturday morning at 8:30am at the Lumberyard on 7 Cypress Street.  Judging will be from 3:30-4:30, and awards will be presented at 5:30.  

At last count, sixteen teams have already entered and more are expected to apply between now and the deadline on Friday.  The entry fee is $25.  Entry forms and information about rules and regulations are available at the Lumberyard.

PLOWBOY EXES RELIVE FOOTBALL GLORY WITH OVERTIME VICTORY OVER COMMERCE

Plowboy alums prepare to run a play against Commerce in Cowboys Stadium.
A football team composed of Plowboy exes won a thrilling overtime victory 13-12 over the Commerce Tiger exes in Arlington on Friday.  The victory was an impressive one when you consider that Commerce is a 3A school and was therefore drawing from a much larger base of ex-football players than 1A Roscoe.

In the game, the Plowboys scored early in the first quarter but failed to get the point after. They held that lead until almost the end of the third quarter when Commerce made a TD but also failed to get the extra point.

The score remained tied until the end of regulation and went into overtime. The Plowboys made a touchdown and extra point, and Commerce responded with a TD of their own.  But then the Tigers failed on a two-point conversion attempt, ending the game in favor of the Plowboys 13 to 12.

The game was one of a series hosted by the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Alumni Football.  Alumni teams of Texas high schools were pitted against one another with games being played in the world’s premier football stadium—Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.  

Games were played in full pads with full contact and four twelve-minute quarters.  Each team had to have a minimum of 35 players on its roster in order to participate.

The Plowboy team included the following alumni from the ‘80s,’90s,’00s,and ‘10s:

Eric Robinson, Buster Frierson, Chris Hernandez, J. R. Abrigo, Jerry Chavira, Jim Watts, Jimmy Jones,  Nathan Hartkopf, Marcial Saenz, Moses Herrera, Gabriel Cruces, Armando Villa, Lewis Villa, Jesse Ochoa, Jared Ochoa, Jarrod Robinson, Lamont Thompson, Jacob Villanueva, Jared Villanueva, Michael Hermosillio, Michael Hernandez, Michael Brazil, Rueben Pantoja, David Pantoja, T. J. Rogers, Chris Gonzales, Tony Valenzuela, Juan Abrigo, James Pantoja, Simon Torres, Keith Hardin, Tate Mayfield, Travis Wright, Zack Green, Lavon Reese, Mckenzie Tillman, Derek Reese, Justin Gonzales, Skylar Stone, and Shawn Kincaid.  Sammy Ruiz was the coach.

ANDY WILSON AND PATTY McBRIDE TO RUN CITY SWIMMING POOL THIS SUMMER

At last night’s City Council Meeting, Council Members approved Andy Wilson and Patty McBride’s application to run the City Swimming Pool this summer.  Wilson is the Principal of Roscoe Elementary School and McBride, also a Roscoe resident, teaches in Colorado City.  Both have previous experience at the Roscoe Pool.

Christy Bowen and Bonnie Robinson also applied to run the pool but were unsuccessful in their bid.

They also proclaimed April as Fair Housing Month and May 4 as Generation Texas Day.

CITY’S SPRING CLEANUP A SUCCESS

City Manager Cody Thompson reported at last night’s City Council Meeting that last week’s Spring Cleanup was a success.  

Approximately 140 residents disposed of 68 tons of debris and 120 yards of brush.  Additionally, three forty-foot bins of tires were collected for recycling.

WEATHER REPORT

Rain fell twice in the past week.  Unfortunately, both times were brief and of little consequence.  The first, on Saturday evening, promised much more with dark clouds, thunder, lightning, and high winds, but the thunderstorm managed to miss Roscoe almost entirely with rainfall of only one or two tenths of an inch in most places and none at all in others.

Nevertheless, high winds from the storm managed to do some damage.  A grain storage building on Front Street owned by Randall Smith lost its metal roof to a strong downblast of wind at about 6:20pm.  The roof landed in a crumpled heap on a nearby truck and on the ground nearby. 
 
The second rain fell early yesterday morning with most places in Roscoe once again getting a tenth or two.   These rains, although welcome, are not nearly enough.  What the area needs is a good two or three inch rain that will provide some deep moisture for this year’s crops.

Besides the two rains, the temperatures for the week were just about as good as you could want for this time of year with highs of around eighty and lows around sixty.  Most days were sunny or partly cloudy, and breezes were generally light. 

The forecast is for more of the same with a 20% chance of thunderstorms through the weekend.

Roscoe Featured in Weather Channel Series Beginning April 17

The Roscoe Wind Farm is once again the focus of a program on wind energy.
Many of you will recall the film crew from Los Angeles headed by a David DeAngelis that was in Roscoe for a couple of weeks last November.  They did a lot of filming and interviewing while they were here and told us at the time they thought the programs they were creating would air on the Weather Channel sometime this spring.

Now it’s official.  Last week the Weather Channel announced that on April 17, it will launch its new series “Braving the Elements” with a four-part series entitled “Turbine Cowboys.”  Roscoe and the Roscoe Wind Farm, which have already received much attention in the national and international media, will once again be featured as one of the episodes focuses on the Roscoe Wind Farm, one of the world’s largest. 

The exact date for the episode about Roscoe has not yet been posted but will be made available here in the Hard Times as soon as it is known. 

The “Braving the Elements” series will run on Tuesday evenings starting at 8:00pm, and the “Turbine Cowboys” portion will have episodes entitled "Climbing School," "Extreme Alaska," "Saved by Wind," and "Amazed in Mexico."
 
The show featuring Roscoe will no doubt be the one entitled "Saved by Wind," which has this subtitle: "Learn how the town of Roscoe, Texas transformed from a dying farm town to a thriving community in this web exclusive clip from Turbine Cowboys, the brand new series on The Weather Channel.”

You can access the 3-minute, 33 second video preview on the Weather Channel’s Turbine Cowboy home page by clicking here.

If you watch the video, you will notice that the show’s producers sometimes get Roscoe mixed up with Sweetwater, misspell Cliff Etheredge’s name, and commit a couple of other minor errors, but these glitches are more than made up for with some good images and descriptions of Roscoe and the surrounding area. 

Seeing the video preview is enough to whet interest in learning what the full thirty-minute program is going to be like.   

In addition, Roscoe will also be getting some footage in a documentary celebrating Earth Day entitled “Powering the Planet,” set to show on most PBS stations on Sunday, April 22.   I haven’t seen the schedule for KERA-TV, the local PBS station, past April 15 but will also inform you about it as soon as I find out.  

An online summary of the PBS documentary says that part of it is about West Texas citizens “who have taken sustainability into their own hands by becoming stakeholders in wind turbines.”  That sounds like us. 

Stay tuned for more details.

FIRE CAUSES EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AT SMACKERS CAFÉ

Smackers Café, which re-opened just a little over two weeks ago, is once again closed after extensive damage caused by a fire that broke out in the back of the café last week.  

The fire, thought to be electrical in origin, was discovered around eleven o’clock on Tuesday, March 27, and both Sweetwater and Roscoe Fire Departments responded to the blaze.  The fire apparently started near a freezer and may have been the result of faulty wiring.

Having just opened, the Lamberts had not yet obtained fire insurance, so they are bearing the full brunt of the expense and are not certain about when, or if, they’ll be re-opening any time soon.

JACINDA MORALES WINS TWO EVENTS AT COLORADO CITY MEET

Plowgirl Jacinda Morales notched up two more victories in last Thursday’s Lone Wolf Relays at Colorado City, winning both the 400 and 800-meter races.  Her time in the 400 was 1:03.9 and in the 800 2:29.3.

Other Plowgirls who did well include Amber Craig, who was second in the 3200-meter run with a time of 14:22.9 and fourth in the 1600 meters with a time of 6:23.14, and the 1600-meter relay team (Jacinda Morales, Katie McIntire, Whitney Williams, Olivia Rovig), who finished third with a time of 4:42.19. 

The Plowgirls came in fifth place with an overall total of 55 points.

The Plowboys finished in eighth place in the boys’ division with an overall total of 38 points.  Jesus Leanos was second in the 3200-meter run with a time of 11:02.29, and Devon Freeman was second in the pole vault with a vault of 11’0”.  Landon Jones was third in the discus with a throw of 108’4”. 

Teams competing in the meet included Sweetwater, Snyder, Forsan, Coahoma, Seminole, Grape Creek, Roscoe, Munday, and Colorado City.

Both the Plowgirls and Plowboys will participate in the District Track Meet, which starts today in Albany and resumes on Friday.

WEATHER REPORT

After experiencing a hot weekend with unseasonal highs of 93°F on Friday, 94° on Saturday, and 95° on Sunday, the weather cooled to a high of 89° on Monday and only 77° yesterday.  The daily lows similarly dropped from 68° on Sunday morning to only 51° on Tuesday.

There was no precipitation, and although the rainfall of first three months has been enough to make everything green and bring out the wildflowers, area lakes are still down, and everyone could use a good rain.

Unfortunately, there is none in the immediate forecast until the weekend when there will be a 30% chance.
