people thought we could,
considering we lost a lot of
girls to injuries. We never
used it as an excuse and con-
tinued to grow as a team.”
The Lady Rams beat Ba-
cone College, 2-1, in the open-
ing round of the RRAC tour-
nament and followed with a
2-0 victory over Northwood
University to earn their nod
into the championship tilt.
“We were burned out. We
had a tough game against
Northwood, which is a rivalry
for us,” she said of the team’s
play against UT-Brownsville.
“(UT-Brownsville) outplayed
us. It was nice to get there, but it
would have been better to win.
Overall, we have to look back
and see that we got there with
all the things that were thrown
at us. It’s pretty amazing.”
Wheaton was held score-
less in the first 13 games of
the season before breaking
out and scoring four against
Wiley Oct. 12. She scored a
total of eight goals in her final
seven games, including two
in the RRAC tournament.
In addition to goals
scored, Wheaton, who is ma-
joring in exercise science, led
the team in shots (54) and
shots on goal (22).

Soler said Crowley Police
Sgt. Michael Tate initiated a
stop at 2:28 a.m. in the 500
block of E. Main Street be-
cause the vehicle in which
the two individuals were rid-
ing didn’t have a license plate
light, which is a violation of
the state’s transportation
code.
After making the stop,
Tate smelled marijuana and
searched the vehicle where
the handgun and ammuni-
tion were found.
One of the two men also
had warrants in Tarrant
County. Both men have since
bonded out of the Crowley jail
on an unspecified amount.
“By state and federal law,
if you are a convicted felon
you cannot possess a fire-
arm,” Soler said. “There are
very strict limitations.”
If convicted of the third-
degree felony, Simpson and
Farris could faced 2-10 years
in prison.
“The case will be handed
over to the DATs office and
they will conduct their inves-
tigation and decide the future
of the case,” Soler said.
WINNER: Named new director

Winner was named the
interim director when Hop-
per left, and during recent in-
terviews for the position, her
enthusiasm for books was
evident and she was given the
title of director.
“She had already evalu-
ated the needs of the library
and some needed changes
and had a plan to begin those
changes,” said Crowley inter-
im city manager Robert Lof-
tin. “She had both short-term
and long-term goals.”
Winner is putting togeth-
er programs to expand adult
services, reconnect teens,
and attract young profession-
als and young married cou-
ples without children.
“We still have a lot of pre-
teens that use the library, but
as they start to get older ev-
erything is going digital,” she
said. “I think we lose a group
of people in the middle.”
In addition, she is working
on plans to provide free ser-
vices such as computer classes
and GED, ESL and citizenship
classes, as well as create a sep-
arate area for the children’s li-
brary in the Founder’s Room.
“My vision is to be strong
overall with the programs and
services we offer,” she said.

TRANSPORTATION
Drivers warned to stay alert
while in construction zones
By JULISSA TREVINO
crowleystar@thestargroup. com
Drivers are being asked to pay special at-
tention to work zones along Interstate 35W as
construction begins in key areas.
A construction site near Alvarado, going
toward the Hill County line, is just one of the
20 active work zones along I-35 - the most
the agency has seen on this corridor.
“Drivers should slow down along con-
struction areas,” said Natalie Galindo, Texas
Department of Transportation spokeswom-
an. “Put the phone down, be patient. And find
alternate routes if you can.”
Expanding and improving more than 100
miles of the stretch of highway also comes
with educating the public on driving safely
throughout work zones, said John Barton,
TxDOT’s deputy executive director.
“I-35 is the Main Street of Texas serving as
a major artery for not only motorists, but for
the businesses that make our great state the
economic powerhouse it is,” said John Bar-
ton, TxDOT’s deputy executive director. “Un-
fortunately, the reality is we are beginning to
see many crashes in work zones threatening
our front line teams who risk their lives daily
to keep Texas moving.
“To better protect them, we’re ramping up
our educational efforts to encourage Texans
to use extreme caution when driving through
work zones.”
According to TxDOT figures, in 2011, there
were 14,670 crashes in roadway construction
and maintenance zones in Texas, causing 116
fatalities, the majority of which were motor-
ists.
That’s led to a call for enhanced enforce-
ment from the TxDOT.
“DPS will be increasing enforcement in
specific construction zones to encourage
drivers to observe posted speed limits,” said
Highway Patrol Maj. Casey Goetz. “Fines
double when workers are present in con-
struction zones. Motorists need to do their
part and adjust their driving habits in work
zones to help reduce the risk of crashes.
Careless actions by a few end up costing ev-
eryone.”
Barton said educating the public on speed
and distracted driving in work zones is a ma-
jor component of TxDOT’s goals.
The new year started with a new construc-
tion zone in Johnson County, as a 10-mile
pavement overlay project from Alvarado to
the Johnson-Hill County line began earlier
this year.
TxDOT’s plan is to complete the work in
three-mile segments beginning on the south-
bound lanes, and then coming back on the
northbound lanes. The goal is to complete
each segment in one week by implementing a
24-hour lane closure from dawn Monday un-
til dusk Friday. Then the following Monday,
the operation would continue on the next
three-mile segment.
The first area of the project is southbound
from N. Chamber Creek to the Hill County
Line.
