FRIDAY,AUGUST7, 1992,ABERNA111Y, TEXAS SERVING HALE & LUBBOCK COUNTIES Rabies found in Lubbock County ByJudyl.ucc Pet owner beware! If you haven't bad your animals vaccinated for rabies, don't wait any looger. Recently, a case of rabies was discovered eight miles southeast of Abernathy in Lubbock Coun- ty. Perry Looney became suspi- cious when be found one of his heifers In trouble. He said she had a bellow, as though she was calllDg for help. It took Looney, his wife and dausthter and another man to load the cow in a trailer to take her to the veterinarian. When the vet discovered the heifer had rabies Looney didn't want to believe it and con- sidered taking it to another veterinarian for a second opin- ion. But tests proved the cow had rabies. Few people have heard of a cow contracting rabies. This is one of the first cases of rabies reported in Lubbock County in any kind of animal. The Looneys have no idea how the cow contracted the deadly disease. They urge everyone in the area to take precaution and have their animals vaccinated against the disease. The Looney family learned the hard way what can happen when exposed to rabies. Although the cow did not bite anyone, con- tact with the saliva could have transmitted the disease. Not only oid they lose the heifer, each family member, the vet and his assistant had to be treated for the disease. The rabies shots for each person was over $500. General facts All mammals, including man, are susceptible to rabies, which is almost always fatal. The disease is transmitted by an infected animal's biting or licking. The virus e nters the victim's body through a break in the skin. Rabies affects the central nervous system. It may take from ten days to over a year to develop. Exposed people can be successfully treated before the development of symptoms by a series of vaccinations. Contrary to popular belief, rabies occurs in all seasons and in all sections of the country- even Lubbock and Hale counties. w - - Watch tame wild animals. Beware of night animals, like skunks, that are seen in the daytime. Pets that have difficulty walking, eating or drinking could show signs of rabies. Signs of excitement or vi- ciousness in normally quiet animals could be symptoms. Beware if animals tear at or scratch an old wound until it bleeds. If cattle "strain" for long periods it is another sign. Rabid animals In the early stages, the personality of pets may change. A normally friendly dog may stay alone, another may begin to seek more attention. Some animals scratch at the place the virus entered their bodies. Later, symptoms follow a "furious" pattern, a "dumb" pattern, or a combination of both. Furious symptoms include excitement, viciousness, roaming, unusual noises and a tendency to attack anything attracting the animal's attention. They tend to drool and their saliva may be mixed with blood. They may swallow objects such as stones and sticks. Dumb symptoms include dif- ficulty in chewing, swallowing and drinking, or trouble walking. An animal may not be able to close its mouth. People have been exposed by trying to clear the throats of such animals, which may seem to be choking. Controlling rabies There is no way of knowing how the Looneys cow was infected with rabies or how many other animals in the area may be infected. The best precaution is to have all animals vaccinated annually. A veterinarian should be consulted immediately when any signs of rabies arc noted. If bitlcn by an animal, take it seriously - identify the anima l, cleanse the wound, sec a doctor, report the incident to the· authorities and have the animal tested for rabies. All biting animals should be quarantined for daily observation by a veterinarian for ten days. Don't let this disease spread to your pets. Have them im- munized today.

NDISD school board increases lunch prices

ByJudyLuce Increasing expenses caused

New Deal school board members to increase school lunch prices Tuesday night.

Frank Perkins and Laine Meek, representatives for ARA Food Services, spoke to the board about increasing the price of a student's lunch to $1.25. Perkins said that the increase would enable ARA to also increase the amount of choices offered to students:

ARA Food Services is a contracted company that oper­ates the school lunchroom for New Deal Independent School District.

Calvin Lemon made the motion to set the students' lunches at $1.25 and tc:.tc;hers' at $2.00. Lynn Broadus seconded the motion a nd it carried, 5-0.

Lunches for high school and middle school students were already priced at $1.25. Ele­mentary students were paying $1.00. Teachers were paying $1.75.

ARA Food Services also proposed offering discounted lunch tickets when a student buys several lunches tickets at one time. No action was taken but board members advised ARA to do th is if they wanted.

Also concerning finances, the board discussed how much of a tax increase would be necessary to meet the 1992-93 budget. II is expected that the County Education District will also have to have an increase to meet their budget. NDISD's tax rate will be set in September.

Board members went over the proposed budget for the 1992-93 school district in detail Tuesday night. There will be another budget workshop Aug. 10 in conjunction with the regular board meeting.

Prior to working on the budget, salaries for some school district employees were raised 4 percent with a 5-0 vote. Patty Freeman made the motion lo increase the salaries and Lemon seconded it.

These employees include bus drivers, maintenance personnel and para professionals.

Superintendent A.D. Gamblin suggested the 4 percent in­crease. He said the increase would cost the district an estimated $9,086 in additional funding.

The board accepted the resig· nation of one teacher and employed three Tuesday night .

Leslie Lewis, English and Spanish teacher at the high school, resigned. Her resignation was accepted 5-0 with a motion by Sandra Gowens and a second by Freeman.

High school principal David Willis recommended to the board the hiring of Gladys Whitehead and Marsha Moore.

Lemon made the motion to hire Whitehead, Broadus se­conded it and the motion car­ried, 5-0.

Gowens made the· motion to hire Moore; Broadus seconded it and the motion carried, 5-0.

Agriculture producers are like everyone from CEOs in major corporations to house­wives running millions of households. They all have one thing in common which is to do lhf.Jqb better with less expense. . W- Enterprises;·t~lx:t uathj is on tlre"Cutting edge of irrigation technology designed to allow this area's agriculture producers reduced irrigation costs with a proven, effective way to get the water to where it's needed· on the crop. ·

Tommie Wages, president of Wages Enter­prises, Inc_, is the local distributor of AASI Poly Pipe and manufacturer of Equa-Fiow irrigation gates.

"Poly Pipe is two-ply flexible irrigation tubing. Also, we build and sell the Equa­Fiow irrigation gates to be used in con­junction with the Poly Pipe; Wages said. "We furnish a complete system for irriga­tion.

"We started using it last summer and refined it through the winter to meet the specifications and needs of the producers in this area.

"It's a new concept in this part of the country for irrigation verses the open ditches and gated pipe.

Where gated pipe may need to be moved daily, Poly Pipe would need relocation only once a week or longer.

It's also much faster to install. In actual applications, one-quarter mile rolls have been placed in 18 minutes with three peo­ple.

"The ease and speed of laying out the pipe and teoding it from day to day are real pluses of Poly Pipe over any other system," Wages said.

"In addition, PVC or aluminum gated pipe mu&t be adjusted after installation in order to allow the water set to get out in a unifonn, even pattern."

A simple mechanical apparatus can be constructed, from equipment producers already have in stock, to lay out and roll up Poly Pipe. No hidden, exorbitant costs are waiting for new users of Poly Pipe.

A hidden factor is the safety feature of using Poly Pipe around high power lines. Poly Pipe will never come in contact with electric lines as gated pipe has on occasion.

Aluminum gated p1pe is also attractive to thieves for resale where Poly Pipe docs not offer that aspect.

The gated pipe needs periodic main­tenance either yearly with gaskets or for bent and damaged pipe as needed. Poly Pipe's simple PVC ~ales and weather-resis­tant couplings elimmates the need to re· place leaky gaskets and damaged pipe.

Water conservation is a constant concern of all people on the South Plains and other residents of dry regions across the country. Poly Pipe fights unnecessary water loss.

Unlike open ditches, there is no evapor­ation or seepage with Poly Pir.e. Water is contained in the Poly Pipe until it is relea­sed in the. rows where it is needed. ·

• Another advantage to the ·Poly · Pipe system that WI: have going is the fact that we're guaranteeing 150 percent of .the rows normally irrigated from an open ditch, • Wqcssaid.

'In other words, if 20 rows are run in U-hour sets using open· <Utches, ,-e'!l gll!l· rantee 30 rows in a 12-hour set With' AASI Poly Pipe and Equa-Fiow gates. You're

going to cover more ground for. the dollar you spend using our complete system.

. "As far as I know, we're the only dealer offering a guarantee along that line; he said.

Poly ·-i'ij!e's eomplete -a,stem efficient control of water distribution.

"We have ~;ight differeal siies .. M gates.; This allows us to p'ut the: correct size gate in there to govern the now for any type field size and condition.

·A lot of people have gone to gated pipe to get away from open ditches. But you have continuous momtoring of the rows to make any gated pipe run evenly down the furrows.

"When you put Equa-Fiow gates in there they run the same today, tomorrow and next week. Plus, you don't have to move pipe everyday."

It can even be compared to the hi,hly efficient LEPA systems used in pivot imga· tion.

"We can place four one-quarter mile long rolls of Poly Pire on a quarter section of land for half o what the insurance costs would be on a pivot ,irrigation system for a year," Wages said.

"That's more than enough Poly Pipe for a place and you don't have the princ1pal and interest expenses of the pivot system to pay."

AASI Poly Pipe is not restricted to configuration for one farm's irrigation needs.

Previously used holes can be plu~cd with a low cost, easily inserted plashc plu~ Gates, that do nbl wash away the top sod, can be moved to any position on the roll of Poly Pipe.

The two-ply AASI Poly Pipe holds the gates and plugs in place better than the single-ply pipe which is also ·available; Wages said.

I Poly Pipe is the answer to producers' ·irrigating problems. It saves time, money and labor. It's durable, reusable and easy to install.

"After adopting this irrigation system, the hardest job we have to do is to get our borders put up. We do not have to cut ditches or haul tubes, slops, barrels and tin in order to prepare for irrigation; Wages said.

But the versatile Poly Pipe's adaptability does not stop there. There are other cost savings to be realized with surge systems.

"A refinement of the Poly Pipe system is the addition of surge valves; Wages said.

"We've learned how to use underground pipe so that onlr one surge valve is used for lwo quarter m1le lengths of Poly Pipe.

"You can't push water uphiU with Poly Pipe. So, what we're doing is putting the surge at the lowest point of elevation in the line. We hook the Poly Pipe on one side of the surge and put a .plug in the other side .

'When it cycles, iJ blocks the Poly Pipe li'no and pump$· ii underground to the highest ,POint in the other Poly Pipe line. · "We mvite prQ!Iuc:Crs or anyone interested

in this concept to call for a tour or go by one of my f8111U ·to see the system in action; Wages said. -, -Tommie can be QOntacted at Wages En·

terprises, 298-2927; ·A message can be left anytime. Night calls arc best.

on the front end. "'t ruined my brand new radiator. It crunched the griD ud buckJccl tho fenders. It set me back about Iii months.

"'t'a a cuatolll-built radiator. It had to be buUt to a certain aize but have enough core and fin area to cool the engine. •

Hill wu preparing for the Clovla show u his debut. What he wu not preparing for was a move in the date for the show three and a half weeks ~ly.

"It wu supposed to be on Aug. 28. They ealled me and told me they moved it up to Aug.1."

Then the pressure was on Hill and Terry Attebury, a eo-worker of Hill's at Joe Thompson Im­plement whom Hill credits with a IP'eat deal of help on the proJect.

"It was down to nothing. It was a bare frame. Ev.:ry piece was off of it. The axles were out of it. We got busy and rounded it all up; Hill said.

It was reassembled in the early hours on the day of the show and hauled to Clovis.

The rest of that day is his­tory but Hill looks expectantly toward the future.

Plans for sale of the truck, which he estimates has cost him around $15,000, are not out of the question.

"It should bring around twenty (thousand dollars). I want to show it for a year or so and if it can go and win best truck at shows like it did this past weekend and do that at quite a few shows then it's worth more money. Then it's p~oven as a top-notch truck," Hill said.

Hill's truck is painted a high gloss white with peach and gray hand-painted pinstrires. (The pinstnpes were applied last weekend by a detailer from California, well known to car buffs all over the nation, before judgin~ began.)

Chnstine was instrumental in color selections. They both agreed on the white color but he wanted to go with a sea foam green, pink and white.

She intervened saying those colors were going out. They had a special color made adding white to the tangerine orange to set it apart from traditional colors.

Jason HiU had to cut trcca away &om this 1939 Fc:wd picbp before it could be loaded on a trailer. He loaded it back 011 a trailer last weekend for a trip to Clovis, N.M., and woo three tropbic&.

"She was right," Hill said. The interior features two

tangerine orange cloth bucket scats that were specially design­ed for the truck. The door panels are also trimmed in the same color as is the head liner.

The floor is covered in a medium gray carpel matching the top of the dash.

Hill wants to keep the pas­senger side of the dash simple and unclullered but allowed the instrument dials to be finished in a gold-colored trim. More modern conveniences are a tilt steering wheel and automatic transmission.

At shows Hill will jack up the truck placing it on blocks so mirrors can be arranged on the ground underneath 'the truck. That allows judges and spec­tators to view the frame and undercarriage which is also detailed and immaculate.

Though the truck was judged at Clovis on an aesthetic level, it 's more than just a "pretty face".

"The factory motor was a sixty-horse flat head," Hill said. "Now it's a 350 Chevrolet with a cross-ram intake that is pretty rare. They only built them for three years. They didn't put them on except for the high pnformance package that was factory ordered."

It promises to pack a punch at 320 horsepower and a high

performance camshaft. Hill effortlessly awakened the

sleeping behemoth without even touching the accelerator. What was aroused was a deep, throaty loping rumble at idle exhausted through chrome headers.

The detailing of the engine was no less eye-catching and appealing than the rest of the truck. The various engine com· poncnts were chrome mounted too the peach colored engine with peach colored bolts and screws.

The odometer reads a suspi­cious one mile but Hill admits the truck has 10 to 15 miles on it.

He said he built the truck to drive on the street but has not acquired the proper registration and certifications. But don't look for the truck to be cruis­ing up and down the streets.

Hill said he will not drive the truck before he's through with the show circuit. He said that road wear, dirt and rock chips on the underside arc too dif­ficult to clean and repair. And if left uncared for, the show quality drops dramatically.

"The frame underneath this is smooth and painted. It's peach and chrome to match the top side.

"The undercarriaage is where you win it. A lot of people have a nice truck on the outside but the undercarriage is dirty be-

CIUllO they clrote it ud clda'l " eleaa il." '

"I know of three now before · January. U I find out about any more, I'm going to try to go to those."

He doesn't have much change or rework to do but he is listenina to judges' remarks for improvement.

"The judges commented on the tint on my left front window. It wasn'l. enough to hUrt me but if a show comes down to two pickups that arc . so elOIC that ·, they can't decide they start looking at little things, • Hill said.

This isn't Hill's farst leap into custom truck buildina-

"1 started in high school. My junior year I got an '81 Chev­rolet shortbed and faxed it up."

After collegiate studies as a commercial artist. Hill returned to his automotive interuta When he and Christine were married.

"I told my wife that I wanted to build a nice truck to drive." ·

He then rebuilt a 1972 Chev· rolet pickup.

"We showed it and won. Then we decided that this was kind of fun. So we tore it down and cut the top off to make it a convertible.

"We showed it in fourteen shows and won everywhere with it."

That led him to this project for strictly show.

His next show will be a charity affair for the Make-a­Wish Foundation in a week at the Fair~rounds in Lubbock.

He sa1d he may build another truck .after this one but it will be one to drive while still being a unique piece of work.

Hill sa1d he was fortunate to have an employer like Harold Thompson to allow him use the company's facilities for his projects even if Harold was a skepti~.

"I had' doubters that came by two weeks ago and said I could­n't make it. Harold wis one of them."

Thompson now owes HiD • steak dinner.
