TUESDAY, FEB. 23, 2010
Situations that have a direct effect
on your material affairs are likely to
show a marked improvement in the
year ahead. However, this doesn’t
mean you can coast. Only ambition
and hard work will bring in the big
bucks.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —
While some situations require taking
a risk, others will need a more
conservative approach. You need
to have excellent judgment about
when to do what.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be
careful what you promise, because
if you fail to make good on it, a close
friend’s feelings could easily be hurt.
You had better have a good reason
for going back on your word.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —
You might start out upbeat and positive,
but as time ticks on, you could
easily lose your momentum and let
self-doubts begin to creep in, conjuring
a negative frame of mind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The
probabilities for acquisition look good
in some instances, but your possibilities
for loss are also strong in other
cases. The trick is to be careful and
understand the differences.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It
isn’t that you don’t have excellent
leadership qualities — you do. It’s
more likely that you’ll use them only
as a last resort instead of in a timely
fashion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s
important to be a good listener. If
you hear only what you want to hear
and little else, instead of avoiding
trouble, your deafness could put you
in a bind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
Treat everyone with your usual
considerate manner, but don’t go
overboard and allow someone to
take advantage of your generous
nature. Know when to stand up for
your rights.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — All
will go well when it comes to pursuing
your objectives, but in order to
reach a successful conclusion, you
must remain focused right until the
end. Don’t let down too early.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— Even though your judgment is
likely to be sounder than that of your
colleagues, when push comes to
shove, unfortunately, you could easily
yield to theirs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) — You’re likely to do everything
well at this time, yet this might not
be enough. If you allow yourself to
work in fits and starts, you will severely
minimize productivity and effectiveness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
— Be careful how you treat associates
because if you show any partiality
— and you could if you think
something is in it for you — you
might lose a valuable cohort.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
— Because you’re likely to do quite
well at everything, you might not
know when to call it quits. Once you
tire, your productivity could easily
collapse and begin to disrupt what
you’ve already accomplished.

Receive us; we have

defrauded no man. — 2
Corinthians 7:2
by fi re early last year.
Entertainment was provided
by Lubbock magician
Monte Montgomery, who
brought several audience
members to the stage as active
participants in various
tricks of illusion.
Introducing Lockney’s
Citizens of the Year, Maria
Arellano explained that the
Gaticas have been residents
of Lockney for the past 57
years and have been married
for 44 years. Charter
members of San Jose Catholic
Church, which began in
1962, the Gaticas have two
sons and a grandson.
Estefana Gatica has been a
lab technician at W.J. Mangold
Clinic for 47 years. She
also has served in a number
of ministries at San Jose
Catholic Church, including
Christian Catholic Education
teacher for about 15
years, secretary of the Parish
Pastoral Council, Eucharistic
minister and a member of
the Guadalupanas Women
Society. Gatica also helps
with church funeral meals.
For the past 10 years she
has delivered Salvation
Army food bags during the
holiday season.
Felipe Gatica is retired
after working 34 years as a
road machinery operator for
Floyd County. He has served
in various roles at San Jose
Catholic Church, including
Parish Pastoral Council
president and vice president.
Currently, he chairs the social
action committee and is
a Eucharistic minister.
Gatica has been president,
vice president and treasurer
of the Parish Men’s Society,
helps maintain the church
grounds and participates in
all church fundraising efforts.
He also delivers Salvation
Army food bags during
holidays.
For more than 20 years
Gatica was committee chairman
of Boy Scout Troop 206
in Lockney and participated
in many of its camping trips
and camporees as well as
helping one Scout achieve
the rank of Eagle.

“You have to get your
house in order,” he said.
“This whole thing is bigger
than going to Austin, Texas.”
Moore, the youngest of 10
kids, spoke about not using
adverse things in your background
as excuses. He grew
up without a father after he
was killed in a domestic
dispute by Moore’s mother.
Moore was only 3 years old
at the time.
“Don’t be a product of
your circumstances. We
must overcome the callous
points in life,” said Moore,
who worked as a deputy
sheriff in Lubbock and a recreation
therapist at the Children’s
Home of Lubbock
before getting into coaching,
teaching and later school administration.
Growing up, Moore said
kids made fun of the shape
of his skull, calling him
“football head.”
But Moore said that was
OK.
“Sometimes being different
is not bad at all. It just
depends on your perspective,”
he said. “Every soul is
precious.”
Moore said God has reasons
why he sends you
“down the road less traveled.”
For Moore, it was so
he could teach others.
He said he didn’t always
strive to be his best, intentionally
making low grades
so as not to call attention to
himself and be different.
“But God has not called
us to be in the low group,”
he said. “Our eyes are fi xed
upon the heavens. We must
listen to the voice of God.
He has a plan for us.”
Moore’s speech concluded
a 2-1/2 hour program at
Happy Union Baptist Church
with the theme “Keeping
the Dream Alive by Turn-
A strong supporter of the
Lockney school sports programs,
he has helped run
the chains, time clock and
manned the gate at football
games plus assists at basketball
and softball games and
other events.
He has served as president
of the Migrant Parental
Involvement Program for
Lockney Public Schools.
“This couple has always
been there for families in
need in our community of
Lockney, assisting them in
any way possible,” explained
Arellano. “I can assure you
that they have been and continue
to be great role models
to many, being a light to others,
walking the talk as servants
to all in need.”
As Citizens of the Year,
the Gaticas will be entrusted
with the traveling Lockney
Citizen of the Year loving
cup for a year before giving
it up at next year’s banquet.
At Saturday’s banquet, last
year’s recipients, Lockney
Boy Scout leaders Jim
Huggins and Bill Hunter,
received their own 2008 Citizen
of the Year plaques before
the traveling trophy was
passed on to the Gaticas.
In introducing Hooten as
Fireman of the Year, fellow
volunteer Rodney Hunt
called him “a mentor, a hero
and a fi ne man.” Explaining
that he served as a point man
for the department, Hunt noted
that Hooten took an attack
line onto the second fl oor of
Lockney High School when
it burned Jan. 11, 2009, “going
on the offensive and putting
forth the best effort he
could.”
Lockney Chamber members
were encouraged to attend
at meeting a Main Street
Pizza at 6 p.m. March 11
when several retiring board
members will be replaced
and plans for the upcoming
year will be discussed. The
three major activities the
Lockney Chamber organizes
each year are Lockney’s
Old-Fashioned Saturday, the
Downtown Christmas activities
and the annual Chamber
banquet.

ing Obstacles Into Stepping
Stones.”
Plainview High School
junior Shaniqua Whitaker
recited part of Martin Luther
King’s famous “I Have a
Dream” speech.
Also, 27 ushers at Plainview’s
black churches were
presented plaques in appreciation
for “making comfortable
those who enter the
door you keep,” said Marilyn
Jennings.
Sandra Givens Franklin
offered the Occasion, saying,
“This is a day to give
recognition to everyone who
has given of themselves to
this community. We are a
beautiful bouquet of God’s
fl owers.”
Alpha Jennings, a former
Miss Wayland, spoke on
challenging obstacles, offering
fi ve suggestions to be
successful: dream, walk with
purpose, have a positive affect
on your environment,
allow God to be the author
and fi nisher, and wake up
and live.
Jimmy Collins offered a
devotion, Roy Parr, a prayer,
and Curtis Thompson gave
the welcome. Doris Washington
served as mistress of
ceremonies.
“We have a black president
but that doesn’t mean
we can stop moving forward,”
Washington said.
In conclusion, Rubye Henderson,
who again this year
coordinated many of the
events for the Black Awareness
celebration, reminded
the audience, “You’re black
all year long . . . Go do
good.”
