Venues that receive state funds would have to play the national anthem before all sporting events under a bill passed by the Senate on Thursday. Arising as a response to the Dallas Mavericks skipping the anthem before games at the beginning of the NBA season, the bill would consider failure to play the pre-game anthem as a breach of contract. That could mean a loss of funds or other penalties assessed due to a default. Senate Bill 4 author Senator Dawn Buckingham of Lakeway said this is one small way to show appreciation for those who serve the country. “The least we can do for our brave men and women who have died fighting for our great country and for those who are actively defending our freedom is to have our national anthem played before sporting events, which would not be possible without them,” she said.

Who would have guessed their modus operandi would feature vendors lined up like carnival barkers soon after shoppers have shown their credit card IDs for entry? Patrons truly haven’t “rolled” very far before the “pitches” begin.

The Lamb County Senior Citizens’ Center is open for noon lunches on Wednesdays, at 211 Phelps Avenue in downtown Littlefield. Those attending are invited to take food in covered dishes, to share with others, or by a donation of $6 to the center.
