Council votes to turn airport property over to EDC
By ZELDA BETH LANG
THE DALHART TEXAN
The Dalhart City Council met in two meetings on Tuesday
night, February 23. The first meeting was the regular council
meeting at 6 p.m. The second meeting was at 7 p.m. with the
Economic Development Committee (EDC) to discuss property
at the airport.
Following a discussion on the airport property, it was
voted by the council to turn the property over to the EDC.
City Attorney Greg Oelke will begin drawing up the necessary
documents to transfer the property to the EDC. Annexation
procedures will also begin.
Members of the EDC are Greg Duggan, Gene Rahll,
Brian Walton, Kevin Caddell, Rhonda McMillen, Chris Bell
and Cheri De Jong. Ex-officio members are Mayor Phillip
Hass and City Manager James Stroud. Two members were
not present, Rahll and De Jong . During the regular council
meeting, Police Chief Gary Sinclair presented a racial profiling
report. The three-page document was submitted to the Texas
Commission on Law Enforcement. The report detailed CCP
Law Enforcement Police on racial profiling and what the
Dalhart Police Department officers are required to do.
His report continued giving the motor vehicle racial
profiling information. He reported a total of 2,342 stops. Of
those, there were 67 of African descent, 18 of Asian descent,
1,433 Caucasians, 816 of Hispanic descent, five of middle
eastern descent and three Native Americans.
Of those, he reported that there were eight in which the
race or ethnicity was known prior to the stop. A search was
conducted 20 times, with 10 of those searches consented.

Burn ban
extended in

THE DALHART TEXAN
Hartley County Commissioners met
Tuesday morning for a special meeting.
The commissioners decided to extend
the burn ban in the county for 60 days.
A burn ban was put in place last
week as critical fire weather, with windy,
dry conditions, plagued the panhandle
region. That burn ban lasted only one
week, giving the commissioners time to
meet and consider an extension.
The Dallam County Commissioners
voted to extend their burn ban Monday
until March 14. With the addition
of Hartley County’s extension, both
counties continue to remain in a burn
ban.
There were two additional items on
the agenda.
The Commissioners considered
action regarding administrative service
for the 2015 Texas Capital Fund Project.
The Commissioners voted to hire Dwight

Getting the facts on FAFSA
D’Aun Young, Dalhart High School counselor, spoke to students and parents at an information
meeting about Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Wednesday. Young spoke
about the new FAFSA guidelines as well as the scholarships available and their deadlines and
walking students through the process of applying to college. Parents were encouraged to attend
to be able to work side-by-side with their student in the process.
Calving is in full swing, and
the evidence can be seen while
driving past pasture land across the
panhandle. The increase in cattle
populations across the panhandle has
been on the rise, and larger herds than
in recent years can be seen in pastures
throughout the region.
While the new additions to the
herds are certainly accounting for
a growth in cattle population, herd
rebuilding has been ongoing over
the last year, particularly with the
increase in rain brought on by El Nino
in 2015.
“It’s not just stocker cattle. We’ve
got pretty much all classes of cattle,”
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension
Agent Mike Bragg said. “I’ve heard
other people make comments that this
the most cattle they have seen (in the
panhandle) in years.”
The increase in cattle populations
in the Texas panhandle is on par with
a national trend. According to the
USDA, as of January 1 there were 92
million head of beef cattle in the U.S.,
which is a three percent increase over
the year before. Of those, there were

16th Street closed near Highway 87 for waterline installation
Both sides of 16th Street are closed on the west side of Highway 87. The closure began Wednesday as crews install a new 12-inch waterline
that will be encased. City officials released a statement last week saying the project is necessary because of the upcoming Highway 87/
Highway 54 underpass project. The project is expected to take approximately one month to complete.

30.3 million beef cows,
which is a four percent
increase from the previous
year. Those numbers are
expected to continue to
increase over the coming
years.
Cattle populations were
thinned out as drought
conditions took hold of
the region in the previous
years, creating poor pasture
conditions.
With the relief of muchneeded rain last year, many
area ranchers began to
rebuild those populations.
A primary source of that
rebuilding has been heifer
retention.
“We know the number
of heifers on the market
last year was considerably
down than previous years.
It wasn’t because there
were fewer cattle, and we
know this because their
counterparts were on the
market,” Bragg said.
Most
cow-calf
operations
will
have
approximately an equal
number of steers and heifers
each calving season. While
the number of heifers on
the market decreased, steers
were still up for sale.
“If we get so many
steers marketed, there have
to be heifers out there,
too. If they’re not going to
market, then they’re adding
to the herd,” Bragg said.
It can take time for
heifers begin producing
calves to continue the herd
regrowth. Bragg said many
of the heifers calving for
the first time this season are
two years old.
“Most of these cattle
people are similar to farmers
in that they are mostly
optimists. The believe good
is going to happen. They
believe it’s going to rain,
that the market is going to
be good and that the market
is going to be profitable,”
Bragg said.
Although the alleviation
of the drought has renewed
this sense of optimism, the
market price has taken a
hit. While prices were up
in 2014, when some heifer
retention began, prices
began to fall in late 2015.
“The surprising thing
is during that time period,
we’ve seen prices of
livestock decline quite a bit
but we’ve still seen retained
heifers,” Bragg said. “The
question is how long is that
going to continue with the
lower prices. At what point
do we quit rebuilding the
herd?”
The world’s largest
market
by
population,
China, isn’t a large consumer
of U.S. beef, and Bragg said
that can hurt the price.
Other factors include a
drought in Australia, which
is also a large supplier of
the world’s beef.
However, the recent
agreement of the TransPacific Partnership (TPP)
U.S., Japan, Malaysia,
Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei,
Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, Mexico, Chile and
Peru has left some in the
industry optimistic about
the future of U.S. beef in
the global market.
“It’s a global market.
We don’t just sell beef in the
U.S. These guys are trying
to keep in tune with what is
going ton in the rest of the
world and all the potential
consumers of our product,”
Bragg said.
For
the
consumer,
Bragg said he believes the
price of beef should go
down. For the producer, he
believes herd rebuilding
and heifer retention will
continue until there is a
major change in weather or
market conditions.
“If anything changes,
prices or drought, that will
affect herd expansion,” he
said. “When we quit getting
rain and if the prices stay
where they’re at, then I
think the heifer retention is
going to stop.”

you? Just what the heck are
you doing? That’s a new car
and that brick you threw is
going to cost a lot of money.
Why did you do it?”
The young boy was
apologetic.
“Please mister . . .
please, I’m sorry, but I
didn’t know what else to
do,” he pleaded. “I threw
the brick because no one
else would stop . . .”
With tears dripping
down his face and off his
chin, the youth pointed to
a spot just around a parked
car.
“It’s my brother,” he
said. “He rolled off the
curb and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can’t lift
him up.”
Now sobbing, the boy
asked the stunned executive,
“Would you please help
me get him back into his
wheelchair? He’s hurt and
he’s too heavy for me.”
Moved beyond words,
the driver tried to swallow
the rapidly swelling lump
in his throat.
He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into
the wheelchair, then took
out a handkerchief and
dabbed at the fresh scrapes
and cuts. A quick look told
him everything was going
to be okay.
“Thank you,” the boy
said.
Too shook up for words,
the man simply watched the
boy push his wheelchairbound brother down the
sidewalk
toward
their
home. It was a long, slow
walk back to his car.
Funny thing, he never
bothered to repair that
dented side door. He kept
the dent there to remind
him of this message: “Don’t
go through life so fast that
someone has to throw a
brick at you to get your
attention!”
As followers of Jesus
we are called to love people
in the same way Jesus loves
us!
Let me challenge you to
just pay close attention to
those around you. Look for
those opportunities where
you can share the love
of Jesus with them. And
especially be on the look
out for those who may be
hurting or who are in need

Spring cleaning projects
Spring cleaning is an annual tradition in many households.
After a winter spent cooped up indoors, spring cleaning can
rejuvenate a household and provide a great chance to rid a home
of a season’s worth of clutter.
Donating old clothes and cleaning out the garage are popular
spring cleaning projects, but there are a host of additional tasks
homeowners can tackle to freshen up their homes this spring.
Floors
Simply vacuuming or sweeping the floors might not be enough
to banish some of winter’s most uninvited guests. Dust has a way
of settling into a home over the course of a typical winter, and it’s
easy for a home’s inhabitants to track dirt and debris inside as well.
After vacuuming or sweeping floors, go over them with a mop.
Doing so can remove any lingering dust, dirt, debris, and allergens
the vacuum or broom failed to pick up. Apply wood cleaner and
polish to wood floors to make them look even cleaner.
Baseboards
Though baseboards might not seem all that dirty, upon closer
inspection homeowners might notice substantial accumulations of
dirt and dust. Such dirt and dust many not be removed so easily, so
homeowners might need to use hot water and a sponge to remove
any debris that is clinging.
Curtains
Curtains also may have absorbed substantial amounts of dust,
dirt and debris over the winter. This might be more visible near the
end of winter when more sunlight begins to shine through. Clean
the curtains in adherence to the manufacturer instructions before
you open windows for the season so any wind that blows in does
not spread debris onto nearby furniture. Once the curtains have
been washed, opening windows may help them dry more quickly.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms also tend to bear the brunt of winter weather, as
mold and grime can accumulate throughout a season in which
it’s too cold to open bathroom windows to let fresh air in after
bathing. Inspect ceilings, tubs, shower stalls, and floors for any
signs of mold growth or grime. Mold growth in a home can lead
to respiratory problems and exacerbate existing conditions such
as asthma, so it’s best to inspect bathrooms for any signs of mold
growth throughout winter. If you have let that slip, prioritize such
inspections come spring cleaning time.
Furniture
It’s easy to overlook furniture when tackling spring cleaning,
but dust and dirt can quickly accumulate on couches and chairs
over the course of winter. When possible, vacuum furniture to
remove any debris that might have accumulated while windows
and doors were kept shut, and shampoo any cushions or seat covers
that don’t pass the smell test.
Freshen up for spring
After a few months of chilly temperatures, come spring,
many homeowners are eager to throw open their windows
and doors and breathe new life into their homes. Simple
changes made now - even before the weather begins to warm
up - can improve interior spaces and brighten the atmosphere
of a home.
Go plant shopping.
Research from NASA suggests adding at least one plant
in your home per 100 square feet is efficient enough to clean
air. Fresh foliage also makes a home feel warm and inviting.
Watering and misting plants introduces moisture into indoor
air, which can make rooms overcome with dry air from heating
systems feel comfortable. Just be sure to avoid overwatering
plants, which can lead to mold growth.
Swap out throw pillows.
Accent pillows on beds and sofas are quick and
inexpensive ways to add new bursts of color to rooms. You
may be able to make over a room’s entire color scheme with
Goodbye Winter,
Hello Spring.
new pillows. Invest in pillows that you can switch with each
season so your decor will never look tired or dull.
Clean existing light fixtures.
Another way to brighten the mood in a home is to
periodically clean light fixtures to make sure they are working
effectively. Spend time dusting them and cleaning off any
accumulated debris. If need be, switch out old lamp shades
for newer ones that let more light shine through. If inadequate
lighting is a problem no matter how many lamps you have,
consult with an electrician about installing more overhead
and accent lighting.
Give rugs and floors a deep cleaning.
Recirculated air may be full of dust and other microscopic
particles that end up blowing throughout your home. Also,
it’s easy to track in dirt and other materials on your shoes that
become imbedded in carpeting. At least once a year, rent or
enlist the surfaces of carpet and upholstery cleaners to give
floors a thorough cleaning. You may be surprised at how clean

and fresh a home looks and smells once rugs and carpets are
deep-cleaned. You also can make a dry carpet cleaner using
baking soda, corn starch and desired fresh herbs for fragrance.
Sprinkle and then vacuum up after a few hours.
Color-coordinate bookshelves.
Group all books with similarly colored covers together
for an instant and eye-appealing look.
Simmer some homemade home deodorizer.
In a large pot, boil water and some scented herbs, such
as rosemary, citrus rinds, vanilla, or lavender. The aroma will
waft through the home, creating a pleasing scent.
Invest in new window treatments.
Lightweight draperies or new blinds or shades can
transform the look of a room. Be sure to keep curtains
and blinds open during the day to maximize the hours of
sunlight.

Spencer graduated in Class 43-4 Dalhart but ceremony was at SPAAF in Lubbock
BY JOHN W. MCCULLOUGH
GRADUATE STUDENT IN
HISTORY,TEXAS TECH
UNIVERSITY
One of the many student
glider pilots who trained at
Dalhart AAF in WWII was
Leon B. Spencer.
On Saturday, October
11, 2011, while at the
National WWII Glider
Pilot Association’s reunion
in Oklahoma City, Okla.,
Spencer gave an interview
about his experiences as a
glider pilot during WWII.
Spencer began his glider
training at Dalhart AAF on
February 8, 1943.
At that time, the
glider school’s first base
commander, Col. Edward
H. Underhill, had just left
for his new assignment
at Randolph Field, San
Antonio, Texas, on January
8.
Spencer described the
final glider pilot classes
that graduated from Dalhart
AAF in February, 1943.
“There were probably
about four or five other
classes there ahead of us;
but they graduated ahead of
us because we was the last
class to fly there.”
Each class had about 96
students in it according to
Spencer.
The glider school began
closing in late February,
1943 and the final classes
of glider pilots were flown
to South Plains Army Air
Field (SPAAF) in Lubbock
where the actual graduation
ceremony occurred.
Spencer and his class of
96 men graduated in class
43-4 in Lubbock even though
they actually finished their
training in Dalhart.
“But let me mention
something about that, alright.
There was also a 43-4 class
at Lubbock so they had to
identify us as 43-4 Dalhart
even though we graduated
at Lubbock. They already
had a 43-4 at Lubbock so
they couldn’t have two 434’s at Lubbock,” Spencer
chuckled.
“Two
days
before
graduation, which was
27th of February, we had a
graduation rehearsal at the
base theater in our sergeant’s
uniforms; and of course the
morning of the graduation
we were all dressed in our
‘pinks and greens.’”
“We would line up and
walk across the stage and
the base commander would
award us our wings and out
the other door of the base
theater.”
Instead of actually
pinning the wings on
each glider pilot, the base
commander just handed
them to each man as he
crossed the stage, noted
Spencer.
“They were sterling
silver. They were sterling
silver wings with the “G”,
the normal shield of a
regular pilot there, a “G”
engrossed in there, in that
particular place.”
“We were ecstatic, you
know, because we were now
officers; and before we had
been enlisted men so it was
a big change obviously and I
was hoping my mom would
be very proud of me, you
know, for the graduation.”
When asked about a
photograph of his graduating
class, Spencer replied that
they did not have a class
picture taken and he was not
sure why.
“No, and that really
puzzled me because some
classes had a class picture
and some didn’t; but I’ve
seen several pictures of
graduating classes from
Lubbock where they had
class picture, but we had no
class picture.”
Spencer never had any
leave to travel into Lubbock
during his second time at
SPAAF in February 1943.
Had he been given
leave time, however, he
might have enjoyed the new
Soldiers Recreation center

Spikes-Sellers building at
1211 Thirteenth street.
It opened on Saturday,
December 26, 1942, with
529 soldiers in attendance,
according to an article in
the Lubbock MorningAvalanche on December
29.
George P. Kuykendall,
chairman of the city defense
recreation council, was
notified of the success of
the opening.
Only
make-shift
facilities were available to
create the center making
the large turnout even
more impressive, said the
Avalanche-Journal.
“Miss Leona Gelin,
superintendent
of
the
project, said the count
did not include the young
women who were present
at the dance in the Center
Saturday night.”
“The

Texas weekly crop weather report: What happened to El Niño?
COLLEGE STATION –
Most of the state has been
drier than normal by 1 inch
to 3 inches for the last 30
days, according to the
National Weather Service.
So what happened to
the
wetter-than-normal
winter predicted because of
El Niño?
“It all depends upon
what time period you
are looking at,” said Dr.
John
Nielsen-Gammon,
state climatologist and
Regents Professor at Texas
A&M University, College
Station. “It’s been fairly
dry since the beginning of
2016, but from October
through December, we were
generally quite wet.”
In
fact,
NielsenGammon said, the October
through December period
was wet enough to bring
the average rainfall total
several inches above the
average for strong El Niños
of the past.
“While we’ve had a dry
winter, the combined fall
and winter have been wetter
than normal,” he said.
“Typically, you get one or
two dry months within an El
Niño. There’s no guarantee
the whole thing is going to
be wetter than average. A
lot is going to depend upon
the weather from day to day
or week to week.”
Nielsen-Gammon said
the current El Niño remains
strong, with no sign it’s
going to weaken until
spring or summer. Also,
many areas had rain the last
week of February.
“I believe we’re just
going through a temporary
dry stretch that is soon
going to be coming to an
end, particularly in western
Texas over the next couple
of weeks,” he said.
There
have
been
some reports that the
current El Niño is actually
strengthening,
but
it
depends upon what metric
is used, Nielsen-Gammon
noted.
“It’s gotten a little bit
stronger in some ways
and weaker in others. It’s
basically just holding its
own right now.”
But there are signs of
the coming demise of the
El Niño, he said.
“There’s a lot of cold
water close to the surface
in the western tropical
Pacific Ocean that is going
to be moving eastward
over the next couple of
months,” Nielsen-Gammon
said. “Hopefully, the cold
water won’t take over and
turn into a La Niña by next
winter, because that would
mean a dry year next year.”

The Sinner’s Prayer
Many believe to be saved all they must do is say a prayer like
this: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner. Come into my heart and save me.
Thank you, Lord, for saving me. Amen.” What saith the Scripture about
this?
1) NO SUCH PRAYER FOUND. You would think, as often as
people talk about the sinner’s prayer, such a prayer is found on about
every page of the Bible. In all my reading, not once have I come across
the sinner’s prayer. Where can I find an example where the Lord or His
apostles ever told someone to pray a prayer like this to be saved?
2) LOST PRAYING MEN. The Bible records two men who prayed,
but were not saved by the prayer. They are Saul, of Tarsus, “for behold,
he prayeth” (Acts 9:11) and Cornelius as he “prayed to God” (Acts 10:2).
If these were saved by prayer, then they were saved before they were
even told what to do to be saved (Acts 9:6, 11:14). Thus, they were
saved without faith, for “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the word
of God” (Rom. 10:17). A little reading will show these two men were
commanded to be baptized (Acts 10:48; 22:16).
3) PRAYER IS NOT FOR SINNERS, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS. We must
be in proper spiritual conditions, in order to pray acceptable. John 9:31
records, “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be
a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.” Prayer is not
something one does in becoming a child of God, but is a privilege one
has as a child of God!

Hybrid wheat time has come: AgriLife Research breeder expects releases within five years
COLLEGE STATION –
There’s growing interest in
hybrid wheat and Dr. Amir
Ibrahim, a Texas A&M
AgriLife Research wheat
breeder in College Station,
believes the time is right to
make it available.
Ibrahim
has
been
working
toward
the
development of hybrid
wheat
varieties
since
2013, but wheat breeders
first began looking at
hybridization in wheat
more than 50 years ago in
the early 1960s, he said.
“The price for wheat
was so low, and the cost for
the hybrid seed was too high
at the time,” he said. “Today
we have a better handle on
the genes and better prices
and availability of genomic
tools.”
And it is something that
is needed, Ibrahim said.
Wheat production yield
potential has been leveling
off and “this is one way to
break that barrier.”
The performance of the
TAM varieties of wheat
developed by AgriLife
Research’s wheat breeding
team has been improving
across the state and into
other states with diverse
climates, providing a solid
base of germplasm.
Under
a
Monocot
Improvement
Initiative
grant by AgriLife Research,
as well as funding from the
Texas Wheat Producers
Board, Ibrahim is working
with the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln to test
more than 600 lines of
hybrid wheat in Nebraska
and Texas.
Ibrahim explained U.S.
corn is a hybrid crop. The
hybrid crops have increased
vigor over the two parents
in yield and other traits.
There must be enough
hybrid vigor, technically
referred to as heterosis, to
justify the increased costs
of seed and production.
For wheat, past efforts
have
increased
hybrid
vigor about 10 percent, but
Ibrahim said they want to
get that figure in the range
of 15-20 percent to make it
attractive to producers.
He explained hybrid
seed must be bought each
year due to inbreeding
depression and dilution
of vigor associated with
growing saved seed, so
producers cannot save
their seed and replant, as is
commonly done now.
In hybrids, the female
parent does not produce
viable pollen, but is used as
a seed plant, Ibrahim said.
The male parent has the
role of pollinator. Together
they have the capacity to
combine and express hybrid
vigor.
Part of the problem has
been the increased cost of
seed. There are two systems
for producing seed: chemical
hybridization
agents,
which kill the anthers on
the female; and the male
sterility system, which
includes breeding females
and males separately and
making selections based on
the best combination.
The effort now is aimed
at developing cytoplasmic
male sterile females and
male parents by breeding
fertility restoration genes
into them, he said. A
minimum of three fertility
restoration genes is needed
in the males. This genetic
system is very slow.
Hence,
AgriLife
Research and University
of Nebraska-Lincoln are
working on developing
parents using a chemical
system for suppressing
pollen development in the
females, Ibrahim said.
He said this does not
require
breeding
male
sterile genes in the female
and restoration genes in the
male pools, although both
approaches are utilized in
Ibrahim’s program.
“For
successful
hybrids, parents need to
be genetically distant to
maximize hybrid vigor,
and that’s why AgriLife
Research is collaborating
with UNL, as the two
institutions have divergent
germplasm,” Ibrahim said.
“If you cross same to same,

many areas especially in
the High and Low Plains
reporting no measurable
rainfall. However, areas
stretching
from
the
Blacklands through North
East Texas, and south
through East Texas and the
Upper Coast received from
0.50 of an inch to upwards
of 2.0 inches. The TransPecos and a few scattered

concerned with temperatures
much above average as
wheat began to progress out

were
contributing
to
declining conditions of
wheat and oats.

Early Notice and Public
Review of a Proposed
Activity in a 100-Year
Floodplain
February 26, 2016
To: All interested Agencies,
Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that
the County of Hartley has
determined that the following
proposed action under the
Texas Capital Fund Program,
(official contract number
pending), is located in the
100-year floodplain and the
County of Hartley will be
identifying and evaluating
practicable alternatives to
locating the action in the
floodplain and the potential
impacts on the floodplain
from the proposed action, as
required by Executive Order
11988 and, in accordance with
HUD regulations at 24 CFR
55.20 Subpart C Procedures
for Making Determinations
on Floodplain Management.
The County of Hartley has
existing roads that currently
sit within a100-year foodplain
as determined by the project
engineer for this project
utilizing topographical maps.
The roads are deteriorated
and not suitable for heavy
traffic and usage. The City
will make improvements to
the roads that will be built-tolast, which will significantly
improve the roads and reduce
the frequent maintenance
issues. The portions of the
existing roadway that are in
the 100 year floodplain are
on county owned property in
the public rights-of-way at the
intersection of County Road
K and County Road 44. The
footprint will not change as a
part of the proposed project
and no work is proposed
outside of the existing
roadways. The total size of
the project site and total acres
of floodplain involved are 1.3
acres. The County of Hartley
has received a grant from the
Department of Housing and
Urban Development through
the TCF program in the
amount of $749,300 for the
proposed road improvements.
The proposed project(s) is in
the County of Hartley.
There are three primary
purposes for this notice. First,
people who may be affected
by activities in floodplains and
those who have an interest in
the protection of the natural
environment should be given
an opportunity to express
their concerns and provide
information about these areas.
Commenters are encouraged
to offer alternative sites
outside of the floodplain,
alternative methods to serve
the same project purpose,
and methods to minimize and
mitigate impacts. Second,
an adequate public notice
program can be an important

public educational tool. The
dissemination of information
and request for public
comment about floodplains
can facilitate and enhance
Federal efforts to reduce the
risks and impacts associated
with the occupancy and
modification of these special
areas. Third, as a matter of
fairness, when the Federal
government determines it
will participate in actions
taking place in floodplains, it
must inform those who may
be put at greater or continued
risk.
place and testify as to the
issue to be decided.
Written comments must
be received by the County
of Hartley at the following
address on or before March
14, 2016: Hartley County
Courthouse, 900 Main St.,
Channing, Texas 79018 and

Attention:
Melissa Mead, County Clerk.
A full description of the
project may also be reviewed
from 8:00-5:00 p.m. at the
Hartley County Courthouse,

Read the public notices.
It’s your right to know.
It’s information about important government activities. Notice in the newspaper is required for
good reason - to make sure it’s NOTICED. It’s crucial to government transparency and government
accountability. Your local newspaper is the most visible, independent source for this crucial service.
Newspapers are read both in print and online. So are the public notices we publish. And after they’re
published, we archive them. Since 1836, Texans have relied on their newspapers to provide public
notices. They still do...for lots of good reasons.

Hartley teams bow out of playoffs in bi-district action
By DEREK HOLLINGSWORTH
THE DALHART TEXAN
Both the Hartley Tigers and Lady Tigers
bowed out of the 2016 basketball playoffs in
the bi-district round of play. The Tigers lost
to Springlake-Earth on February 22. The final
was 49-34. The Lady Tigers also lost in the
opening round of the playoffs on February 19.
The Tigers found themselves playing
catch-up most of the night. Springlake-Earth
jumped out to a 16-9 first quarter lead. They
pushed to their lead to 11 at the break, 2615.
The Tigers had their best quarter in
the third period by scoring 12 points
and only surrendering eight. But the
Wolverines put the game away in the
fourth by outscoring Hartley 15-7 in
the final period.
Springlake-Earth committed to
shutting down Hartley’s leading scorer,
senior Elijah Drew. He managed just
seven points against the Wolverines,
well off his district average of 21 points
per game.
Alex Torres led the Tigers with 10
points. Macaro Chavez had eight points;
Kyler Limbocker turned in six points.
Springlake-Earth’s leading scorer was
Michael Deleon with 24 points. Nathan
Longoria contributed 11 points.
Two other factors combined to doom the
Tigers: shooting and turnovers.
Hartley shot just 36 percent from the field
against the Wolverines. The three-poinirt shot,
Hartley’s bread and butter throughout the
season, was silent on Monday. The Tigers shot
16 percent from the three-point arc, making
just three of eighteen shots.
Hartley
turned the ball
over
33 times
against
Springlake-
Earth.
“I am very proud of this team’s effort this
year,” said Hartley coach Kevin Alexander
after the loss.
The Lady Tigers faced Follett on February
19. The Lady Panthers won the game 70-57.
The game was very much a tale of two
halves. The Lady Tigers trailed by just five, 1510, at the end of the first quarter. They trimmed
the deficit to four, 29-25, at the half.
The Lady Panthers exploded for 23 points
in the third quarter and the Lady Tigers simply
had no answer. Hartley managed just six points
in the third.
The two teams combined for 44 point in
the fourth quarter. Hartley outscored Follett
26-18 in the final period.
Two players, Hollie Mounsey and
Reagan Bourquin, produced 60 of the
Lady
Panthers 70 points. Mounsey scored
34 points against the Lady Tigers.
Bourquin had 26 points.
Ashley Skalsky was the leading
scorer for the Lady Tigers. She had 16
points against Follett.
Kyllie Richardson scored 15 points.
Kelly Wieck had 11 points.
Hannah Drew had nine rebounds on the
night. Hunter Hill had five assists.
Ashley Skalsky and Hannah Drew each
had three steals.
“I’m very proud of our girls,” said Lady
Tiger coach Dedra Hill afterward. “They
overcame a lot of challenges and played all
season with heart.”
Dalhart’s Lady Wolves golfers tee off season in Dumas
By DEREK HOLLINGSWORTH
THE DALHART TEXAN
Dalhart’s ladies golf team opened the 2016 season with a
strong showing at the Dumas Invitational on February 22.
The Lady Wolves took fifth place out of a field of twelve
teams.
“I was pleased with how well our girls
shot the ball Monday, said coach Lorie
Beckner. “We’ll keep working on that
and in improving our putting for our next
tournament.”
Brie Heiskell shot the low score of the day
for the Lady Wolves on a blustery but otherwise
perfect Panhandle February afternoon. She
carded a round of 93, good enough for eighth place
individually.
Hayden Dunham, with just one day of practice shot a 115.
Freshman Lexi Posey turned in a score of 120. Caitlyn Garcia
shot a 125.
Emily Rosth and Hannah Holmes each
carded a 126. Tatum Blanco shot a 137.
Emerald Howell was one stroke behind
her at 138.
“It was a good first match,” said
Beckner. “There’s a lot of potential on this
team. We’ll work hard in practice. We’re
going to more tournaments this year. By the
time district rolls around we should have a
good chance to do well.”
The girls’ golf team is in action next on March
4 and 5 as they travel to Amarillo to participate in
the Amarillo Tournament at the Ross Rogers Golf
Complex. The tournament begins at 10 a.m.
