Restaurant Review
by Richard Porter :
One of the things I enjoy when I’m
traveling around West Texas taking,
pictures is eating at each town's local
restaurant That can be a real gamble.
Sometimes the meal is a great expe-
rience. Other times, it is my worst
nightmare come true.
Because I never pass up an oppor-
tunity to eat out, I have decided to
sample Tulia’s fine restaurants. Al-
though I have eaten at each of them
before, I decided I would approach
each one with he same attitude I do
when I travel.
My first was last week when I had
supper at Maxwell Station.
If a laid back Texas dining atmo-
sphere is what you want, the station is
where you need to go.
I ordered a plate of barbecue sau-
sage, beans, and homemade potato
salad as Lyle Lovett sang, "That's
right, you'rcnotfromTexas,but Texas
wants you anyway," over the
restaurant's speakers. Theatmosphere
was casual and rustic.
Everything from the tea served in a
mason jar to the antique wooden tables
and chairs led to a relaxed environ-
ment.
As a fan of Keeter's German Sau-
sage, I was thrilled to see that item on
the menu. The sausage was plump
and juicy and the sauce was not
overpowering.
The one question I had going into
the meal concerned the potato salad. I
have to be in the right mood for potato
salad, and usually I think it is too
sweet. However, the salad at Maxwell
Station that night was not sweet It
served as an excellent compliment for
the barbecue.
I topped the meal off with a slice of
strawberry cheesecake.
Although I arrived ahead of the
normal suppertime rush, service was
quick and pleasant. I noticed that at-
tention because my meal schedule
does not always coincide with the rest
of society’s and it can be a real hassle
getting service at an odd hour. It seems
that a lot of the time the wait staff at a
restaurant is almost put out by having
to wait on a few patrons who have
come in at an odd time. It's almost as
if their time is being wasted.
In the case of Maxwell Station, the
waitress was attentive to my needs
and those of another customer even
though we were the only ones in the
building. Never once did I have to
look for her or wait for service.
Prompt service is refreshing given
the experience I had recently at a
Plainview restaurant. On that occa-
sion, I was served tea with no ice, had
to get my own refill, and waited for
overhalfanhourformyticketbecause
the waitress was busy figuring in the
mandatory tip foreach of the members
of my group.
In visiting with co-owner Tamala
McKenzie, she explained that she and
her husband Michael strive for the
kind of relaxed atmosphere I experi-
enced. Also they make it a point to use
Tulia, Swisher County, or Texas
produced food for their menu items.
"We drink out of Mason jars and
wear jeans. We use Mi Mamas chips
and tortillas, Tule Creek Apiary honey
in our sauces, meat products pre-
dominantly from Swisher Meat, Blue
Bell ice cream, and Mrs. Baird's
bread," she said.
Like the food, she pointed out that
the dinner music has a decidedly Texas
flavor too. Artists include just about
any Texas performer from Lyle Lovett
to Bob Wills.
The result is a good meal at a good
price in a pleasant atmosphere.
In fact, writing about it in this col-
umn kind of makes me want to go
there for supper this evening.
STUDENTS....
Adams father, Don, owns D/A
Manufacturing in Tulia.
The first big project he completed
on his own was a four-bale hay trailer
he built when he was about 12 years
old, Adams said.
Although lie has been around metal
most of his life, Adams-said it took- -
him a while to get the hang of weld-
ing.
"The hardest thing when I started
was trying to start an arc," he said,
pointing out that it is difficult to get
the temperature right and hold the rod
less than 1/8 inch from the base metal
as a six-year-old.
As a young man, Adams said the
excitement he finds in welding comes
from the knowledge that he is creating
something useful with his efforts.
Unlike Adams,Nolen explained that
he has been welding for about four
years.
He is motivated by the challenge of
the trade, as well as the variety of
applications welding has.
"I enjoy everything about welding.
"Trying to get the perfect weld with
the right penetration is a challenge,"
he said.
Nolen explained that the clamp he
made has a variety of uses in moving
and handling sheet metal.
"Garry uses it at his shop to lift up
metal walls," he said.
Wilfong explained that Nolen and
Adams are part of a Metal Trades
program at Tulia High School that
News Briefs

continued from page one
consistently performs well in com-
petition.
"We’ve got exceptional students
here taking metal trades. They show a
lot of interest and are eager to learn. I
can’t give them enough work," he
said.
.He further explained that one of the
things which makes Tulia’s students'
accomplishment extraordinary is that
they have to compete against 4A and
5A schools. Most 3A schools have
abandoned their Metal Trades classes
because of a lack of interest and in-
adequate funding.
"We're fortunate to have a Metal
Trades class at a school this size," he
said.
One of the reasons Tulia has been
able to develop and continue its class
is because of the support the students
receive from the school administra-
tion, Wilfong said.
"Every piece of equipment we've
asked for they've given us," he said.
The students will compete in VIC A
district competition in Lubbock Feb.
20 and 21, and at state in Amarillo in
April he said.
In assessing the futures of his two
most recent award winners, Wilfong
is optimistic. He pointed out that both
show an interest in continuing their
education and both have the skill to
succeed once they enter the business
world.
"They've got a great future," he
concluded.
