I TRAVELED TO Las Vegas to
be with Ken during the Professional
Bull Riding Finals. It was a great
show. Michael Gaffney is the World
Champion. He rode five bulls to beat
Adriano Morales, who broke his leg
helping a friend on a bull in Brazil a
few weeks ago. Michael and Robin
Gaffney moved to Colorado Springs
a few months ago. Adriano was there
cheering Michael on and predicting
that he would ride. Michael did.
TROY DUNN WON the finals
when he rode Red Wolf to a score of
95. Troy, a native of Australia now
lives in Stephenville, Texas. This is
the second year that Troy has been
the average winner. Only four rode
all four bulls: Michael Gaffney, Owen
Washburn, Troy Dunn and Owen
Dunn. Six went to the short go on
three bulls. Five made it on two.
I drew on a different perspective
this year. I was sitting with a bunch of
stock contractors and they cheer for
the bull to buck. A different point of
view.
THE RANDALL COUNTY FCE

Buttons Pass Test
The white traffic buttons marking
selected crossings near the square soon
will be seen throughout downtown.
According to Tulia City Manager
Bryan Easum, the city will begin us-
ing them instead of the traditional
paint to mark crosswalks and parking
spots.
The buttons currently in use were
put down prior to Tulia's Picnic cel-
ebration as a test, Easum explained. In
the past, he continued, the city had
painted those areas each summer. It
was hoped that the buttons would last
longer than the paint, which disap-
peared in a matter of months, he said.
Easum explained that the buttons
have passed the test, since only a few
have come loose. He pointed out that
those came up because workers did
not know enough about the charac-
teristics of the epoxy and put out the
buttons during the heat of the day
when the epoxy would not set properly.
It will take approximately 7-8,000
buttons for the downtown project,
Easum said, adding that the project
has been split over two years at a cost
of $5,000 per year.
The cost of painting the stripes was
$3,000 per year, Easum said.
Although the buttons cost more than
paint and will take more time to secure,
Easum said the switch still would
save the city money in the long run.
Only the buttons which came loose
each year would have to be replaced,
and those would be few he said.
"It takes a long time to put those
down," he explained, "but the $3,000
we were spending for painting was a
total loss, so it will be worth it"
Workers will use warm days this
winter to begin putting down the
buttons, Easum said.
