OUTDOORS: Horse whispering course will teach nuances
Horse trainer and whisperer Larry Hannon will demonstrate how to use an ancient system to understand a horses’ personality at 2 p.m. on Sept. 6 at Copper Breaks State Park in Quanah.
It’s important to understand the personality of a horse to work with them and train them.
Hannon’s program will begin at park headquarters, and then he will lead participants in an unusual version of “Meet the Longhorns” as he applies techniques to the park’s longhorns and helps the visitors learn about understanding different personalities within the herd.
This is just part of an ongoing series of campsite programs.
The event is free, although a $2 admission fee will be charged.
Copper Breaks is located 13 miles south of Quanah and eight miles north of Crowell on Texas Highway 6.
For information, call the Copper Breaks State Park office at 940-839-4331.
TPWD asks for help keeping parks vibrant
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is in need of funding due to record drought and heat, devastating wildfires and a drop in visitation at state parks.
This is a critical situation.
Donate directly to the TPWD via vehicle registration, or visit a state park.
Admission fees are low and provide about half of the operating costs.
For more information, log onto the following websites: www.texasstateparks.org/help or www.tpwd.state.tx.us/stateparks.
A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
