After hitting the road together again for about a year, Cooder Graw is traveling back to another familiar stomping ground.
The Amarillo-born Texas Country stars will hit the studio in as soon as two months to record their first CD since 2004’s “Wake Up.”
“We haven’t scheduled anything, but it needs to be soon,” Cooder Graw lead singer Matt Martindale said. “It’s up in the air still because all of us are all over.”

The clock started ticking Wednesday at 9:50 a.m., when the green light went out and the yellow one lit up in the communications room at the center of the day’s tornado drill.
“That puts everybody in place at their positions,” said Maribel Martinez, assistant emergency management coordinator of the Amarillo/Potter/Randall Office of Emergency Management.
“Please limit all (radio) traffic to weather-specific,” agency coordinator Kevin Starbuck said. “A spotter at Bushland is reporting a wall cloud. Confirming rotation.”

Bell offers buyouts in anticipation of federal cuts
Bell Helicopter is offering buyouts to some employees as the manufacturer braces for expected cuts in the V-22 Osprey program this year in Fort Worth and next year in Amarillo.
Bell President and CEO John Garrison announced the company’s voluntary separation program Wednesday in a memo sent out to employees.
“As you know, we are expecting a decrease in military programs in the coming years — specifically, V-22 quantity reductions impacting Fort Worth this year and Amarillo in 2014,” Garrison’s memo said.

During a women’s retreat in 2007, Chriss Clifford first set eyes on Umbarger’s St. Mary’s Catholic Church and its murals, which were painted by Italian men living in a Hereford prisoner-of-war camp during World War II.
Since the murals were painted in 1945, they’d seen their share of water damage, the occasional crack, even damage from a fire that struck the church’s bell tower in the 1960s.
Clifford, an artist and co-owner of Sorellas Studio in Clarendon, took an interest in preserving and restoring the paintings, a project she and a team of six artists and five interns began in December 2011.

Amarillo City Commission: City workers honored for response in blizzard
The Commission Chambers at Amarillo City Hall were full of city workers Tuesday evening as commissioners honored representatives of the 509 employees who responded to the Feb. 25 blizzard.
“This was a tireless thing under the worst conditions,” Commissioner Jim Simms said. “It wasn’t like going to Las Vegas and staying up all night.”
The thanks went to more than just the people who worked for days on city response and recovery efforts.

Knitted caps cover the top of one bed in Winona Martin’s house. There are 31 of them, 19 of the women’s pillbox variety. That represents the first two months of 2013.
“I’m always trying to keep busy,” Martin said. “I’ve just got to have something to do.”
Those caps don’t include the approximately 350 she has knitted in the past three years, yards and yards of yarn for cancer patients at the Harrington Cancer Center. Let’s see, there were 100 in 2010, 115 in 2011 and 125 last year. And there’s already a bumper crop in 2013.

A few years ago, Hilltop Senior Citizens Center was low in funds and could hardly pay its bills, Executive Director Iris Lawrence said.
The situation Hilltop faced was serious, she said, but the center at 1311 N. Taylor St. remains open after reducing its hours and cutting back on its utilities.
“A lot of things happened last year to our good,” Lawrence said. “We’re not where we need to be, but we’re not where we were. We’ve had donations come in, and our membership enrollment has increased slightly.”
