LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - We have listened to a brief test of Lubbock’s tornado sirens every second Friday of every month for some time but still, many of us were taken back by the blaring system last Thursday when it was not a test. We know severe weather can be alarming itself, but when the pictures are real and the siren is extremely loud and it keeps going, like last Thursday, that can be very scary and confusing to children.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Some remember her as Joyce White, the bubbly cheerleader in Bula, Texas; but she grew up to be a Lubbock legend, the star of the Sunshine Sally Show. Kids loved watching her every weekday morning at 9 a.m. from 1976 to 1980. She was so popular, she even appeared on a milk carton. The TV set was simple, just the front window on a house, a tree, and a mailbox. It was that mailbox that won over her audience.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Here’s an event to put on the calendar for later this month. The Great Strides Walk is May 17 at Buddy Holly Park. That is the largest national fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive disease that mainly affects the lungs. The walk brings families and supporters together to raise money for research to find a cure. Scientists are getting closer all the time, at least finding ways for patients to live much longer and more normal lives.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Sad news. We’ve lost a man who was perhaps the most recognized veteran in this area. Phil Crenshaw was on the first South Plains Honor Flight in 2012. He was 90 then and we’ve been following his birthdays and other milestones ever since. Nearly 100 veterans went on that first flight to Washington D.C. to see the memorials built in their honor. Phil was the chaplain on the trip.
