Week-long trial ends in Channing
By IVY HOLLINGSWORTH
THE DALHART TEXAN
After a weeklong trial and a half-day of deliberation on Monday, a
Hartley County jury found Kandi Bray guilty on three counts, including
misapplication of fiduciary property, theft, and tampering with or
fabricating physical evidence, all third degree felonies for which Bray
plead not guilty.
Bray was sentenced to three years confinement in state prison for
each count, to be served concurrently. A total restitution in the amount of
$38,680.25 was ordered to be repaid to Kevin Weatherford of Hartley.
The charges of misapplication of fiduciary property and theft stem
from an incident occurring on or about and between November 2011 and
August 31, 2013. The charge of tampering with or fabricating physical
evidence stems from an incident occurring on or about and between May
17, 2013, and May 23, 2013.
The Texas Attorney General’s office was the primary investigator for
the case, assisted by District Attorney David Green. Catherine Chopin
was the lead prosecutor. Clay Ballman, a former District Attorney, was
the defense attorney.

they were answered, the council voted

THE DALHART TEXAN
Longtime Dalhart natives Brian and Mark
Bezner of 3-B Farms, which produces mostly
corn, wheat, alfalfa, and grain sorghum, dabbled
in the watermelon production business in early
2014 and all things considered, it proved to be
a successful season.
With a year’s worth of trial-and-error
experience and cooperation from Mother
Nature, this year’s yields are sure to surpass
expectations.
This year’s watermelon crops are producing
larger, healthier fruit, averaging 15 pounds or
more per melon compared to last year’s 12pound average.

A team of workers 60-strong processes
between 300 to 500 thousand pounds of
watermelons per day. That’s approximately
26,000 watermelons that get hand-picked,
loaded onto a truck and unloaded to get
weighed, measured, and sorted by size.
Currently, with the size of the crops
planted, it takes seven days to process one
harvesting, or pass-through. Depending on
weather conditions, workers are then able to
harvest again and again, until the plants stop
producing.
Last year, workers harvested the crops three
times before the plants stopped producing.
This year, the Bezners anticipate five-to-six

“The abnormally cool
weather that hit in September
last year stopped plant
growth and production,”
Mark said.
“This year,
because we’ve been able to

so far, we’re already ahead

One might wonder how
farmers with a long history
of growing grain took
the leap to watermelons,

PASTOR, FIRST
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Every
Sunday
in
Dalhart, and across our
nation, church goers file into
buildings, to the comfort of
their regular seats or pews,
and take it all in. Even in the
most participatory worship,
much of what takes place
requires only that one be
a passive observer, not an
active participant. I point
this out not to be critical
of our worship assemblies,
nor to rail against churches
that seem to focus more on
entertaining people than
on glorifying God and
preaching the gospel. I point
it out to say this: If attending
a weekly service of worship
is the extent of your service
to the Lord, you are missing
out.
Christianity is not a
spectator sport. Jesus did
thedalharttexan.com
Faith
Christianity Is not a spectator sport
not die to redeem his people
so that they could sit in the
stands and cheer on their
team – the pastor, the worship
leaders, etc. Christ has called
us to so much more – more
involvement, and along with
it, more fulfillment. If you
are in Christ, you are on the
team. Jesus has more for you
than being a fan of the game;
he wants you in the game.
Pastors
are
often
considered to have a special
calling on their lives, and that
may be true, but it is equally
true that every Christian
has a calling from the Lord.
The Bible teaches that every
Christian has been called to
ministry, to serve the Lord.
The New Testament Greek
word usually translated
ministry means service.
Ministers are servants, every
Christian has been called to
serve, so every Christian is a
minister.
Ministry is not just the
job of paid professionals
or a special order of “super
saints.” The Apostle Paul
teaches that it is the job of
specially chosen teachers
of the Word to train every
Christian for ministry. He
told the church in Ephesus
that Christ gave some to be
apostles, some to be prophets,
some to be evangelists,
and some to be pastors and
teachers, to prepare God’s
people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ
may be built up (Ephesians
4:11-12 NIV).
Earlier in his letter, Paul
emphasized that we have
been saved by grace, through
faith, not by good works (2:8,
9), but for good works. For
we are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us
to do (2:10). The church is
God’s masterpiece, created
through
the
redeeming
work of Christ. When an
individual places faith in
Christ, he receives God’s
grace – the gift of salvation,
and he becomes part of the
church – the body of Christ.
And God’s plan for us as his
church was for us to do good
works, to work together in
serving him.
Paul wrote this to the
church in Rome: For as in
one body we have many
members, and the members
do not all have the same
function, so we, though
many, are one body in Christ,
and individually members
one of another. Having gifts
that differ according to the
grace given to us, let us use
them (Romans 12:4-6a ESV).
Every Christian has been
gifted for ministry. We don’t
all have the same function or
role, but each of us has a gift
to be used for serving the
body, and for serving Christ,
the head of the body. From
him the whole body, joined
and held together by every
supporting ligament, grows
and builds itself up in love,
as each part does its work
(Ephesians 4:16 NIV).
If you are currently using
your gifts to serve in any way
in your church, let me thank
you for faith and obedience
to Christ. If you are currently
more of a spectator than a
participant in the work of the
kingdom, let me encourage
you to get in the game. Your
church probably already
has an area of ministry that
would be a great fit for you.
If you don’t think that is the
case, talk to your pastor or
to the appropriate church
leader. I know most of your
pastors, and I don’t believe
that any of them would turn
down help from someone
eager to serve.
If you are a follower of
Christ who doesn’t currently
have a church home in which
Jeff Mize
to serve, I urge you to find
one. We could use your
help here at First Christian
Church! Come join with us
in the work of the Lord, or
with another Bible-believing,
Christ-honoring church. You
have been called to be part of
a body that serves together
and grows together.
Let’s all get in the game
and win this community to
Christ!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Conflicting instructions
make it difficult to please
others this week, Aries. Try
your best to meet others’
needs, and look to others for
help if the need arises.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, your stubbornness
can sometimes be an asset,
but don’t let it get in the way
this week. Approach a task
with a new perspective and
don’t hesitate to solicit others’
opinions.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, even though you
are reluctant to show your
hand this week, others know
what’s on your mind. It’s
tough for you to remain aloof
when you seem like an open
book.
I was born on September 30, 1957 in New York. I am an actress who
got my start in the limelight by being the runner-up in the Miss New
York Teenager beauty pageant. I’ve earned Emmy Awards for my work
as a spunky nanny.
Answer: Fran Drescher
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
You are full of energy this
week, Cancer, so put it to good
use. Lend a hand to others who
have a lot on their plates and
tackle some lingering projects
of your own as well.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, don’t take anything
for granted this week. A
project might go off without
a hitch, but you need to be
prepared in case it does not.
Remain aware.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you may be so
engrossed in your own routine
that you miss some of the
subtle goings-on at work. If
suddenly you feel out of the
loop, make an effort to be
more in the know.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, speak up about a
situation that you feel needs
to be addressed. Your voice
won’t be heard if you remain
quiet, but your point of view
offers some valuable insight.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, rather than
focusing on your own
progress this week, see what
you can learn from others
without making everything
a competition. This can be a
special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/

Sagittarius, you may be

others may not be satisfied
with your efforts. Reexamine

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan
20
A big payoff awaits if
you work hard and exercise
patience this week, Capricorn.
Although you may be pushing
for immediate results, the
outcome will take some time.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb

Don’t abandon your
spontaneity
this
week,
Aquarius. Hang out with
others who appreciate flying
by the seat of their pants. You
will be in for a good time later
in the week.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
A sense of self-confidence
does not mean that everything
will immediately go your way,
Pisces. You still need to work
hard to have things play out
right.

across his right leg held him

crowd cheered as he made the

At the northwest corner of
the arena his horse took a hard
right. The rope came slack as
the steer caught up. Vern saw
his chance, made a beautiful
flying dismount and lit square
on his feet! The horse bucked by
on his left. Vern was just rearin’
back to sail his hat in the air
when the steer, still connected
to the horse by a forty feet rope,
thundered by on his right!
His double back flip

WHO IS IMPRESSED?
God is not impressed with the religious
pomp and ceremony which so impresses
man. He even warns us against being
awed by it and having part in it—Matt.
23:5-6; Luke 20:46.
The Lord’s plan for His church is simple. It
is not to please and impress man, but to
please and honor the Father. It does not
consist of display or pretention, for God
looks upon the heart, not the show—1 Sam.
16:7.
You are invited to visit us and observe the
simplicity and spirituality of New Testament
worship, and to hear Bible teaching.
.
I happened to be at the
National Finals Rodeo in
1988 when Leo Camarillo
and partner roped their steer
in five seconds flat! It ranked
in my mind with John Alden
pitoning up Plymouth Rock or
Neil Armstrong making angels
in the moon dust! I was there
when history was being made!
It didn’t matter that Leo’s time
only took third in the go-round.
I have watched team roping
evolve. Thirty years ago it was
called team tying.
In team tying both the
header and the heeler were
tied hard and fast. The header
roped the horns and rode off
to the west. The heeler would
rope the hind legs, fall back to
his left and head south. They’d
form a “V” with the steer at
the northern most point. The
steer would flop to the ground
then the header would leap off,
brandishing a piggin’ string and
tie the steer’s heels with a square
knot...Time!
Ron said Vern had come
from Squaw Gap to the ropin’
north of Medora, ND. He entered
up in the team tying. When his
turn came he and his partner
bailed outta the box and built
to the steer. Halfway across the
arena Vern cast his loop. Now
it should be noted for followers
of modern rodeo, neither Vern
nor his horse, Whittier, were
professional cowboys, they just
did it for a living! Both right off
the ranch, where they’d be back
on duty the next morning.
His rope sailed out and
settled round the steer’s horns.
Vern turned the corner and the
slack snapped outta the line like
a barkin’ dog hittin’ the end of
the chain!
Then…his good ol’ pony
stuck his nose in the dirt and
commenced to bawl and pitch!
Tipparary had nothin’ on him.
He wallowed across the arena
and up the grandstand fence,
boggin’ and firin’, bellerin’ and
buckin’, generally throwin’ a fit
and draggin’ that steer behind
him! Vern sat tall in the saddle,
solid as Teddy Roosevelt
crossin’ the Little Missouri! He

Hot, still cloudy days result in farm pond fish kills
COLLEGE
STATION
– A combination of weather
patterns is causing wholesale
die-offs of fish in many East
and North Texas farm ponds
and lakes, according to Dr. Billy
Higginbotham, Texas A&M
AgriLife Extension Service
wildlife specialist, Overton.
Most of the calls
Higginbotham has received
have been from East and North
Texas, he said. However, the
same confluence of weather
conditions– high temperatures
and cloudy days followed by
cool thunderstorms – could
likely be causing fish kills
in other areas as well. The
conditions are causing oxygen
depletion in farm ponds and
lakes.
“The weather conditions
we’ve experienced over the
northern part of Texas have
been conducive for farm pond
oxygen-depletion fish kills,”
he said. “Many pond owners
have lost all or part of their fish
populations.”
There is always a risk of
oxygen depletion in farm ponds
during hot summer weather,
Higginbotham said. This is
because warm water holds less
oxygen than cooler water.
However, several hot,
still cloudy days in a row
will raise the risk of oxygen
depletion much higher, he said.
Normally, photosynthesis by
aquaticGet
plants,
themostly
latest singlecelled algae, produce enough
in news,
oxygen to help
maintain oxygen
levels in ponds even during
hot weather. But cloudy skies
result in less sunlight reaching
the pond, and photosynthesis is
reduced.
Windy weather causes
waves and also helps to
aerate pond water, so hot, still
and cloudy conditions are a
triple whammy for oxygen
production, he said. And the
coupe de grace for many farm
pond fish in northern Texas in
the last week was the cool rains
brought by thunderstorms.
“The
thunderstorms
brought as much as 3 inches
of rain in a short time,” he
said. “Cool rains lower the
temperature of the top surface
layer of the water. The cooler
top layer of water then settles
and mixes with the colder
water at the bottom, and this
action stirs up organic matter
that decomposes and further

NOTICE OF 2015 TAX YEAR
PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR
THE CITY OF DALHART
A tax rate of $0.334500 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the
governing body of the City of Dalhart. This rate exceeds the lower
of the effective or rollback tax rate, and state law requires that two
public hearings be held by the governing body before adopting the
proposed tax rate.
• PROPOSED TAX RATE
• PRECEDING YEAR’S TAX RATE
• EFFECTIVE TAX RATE
• ROLLBACK TAX RATE
$0.334500 per $100
$0.323900 per $100
$0.302900 per $100
$0.334900 per $100
The effective tax rate is the total tax rate needed to raise the same
amount of property tax revenue for the City of Dalhart from the
same properties in both the 2014 tax year and the 2015 tax year. The
rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Dalhart may
adopt before voters are entitled to petition for an election to limit the
rate that may be approved to the rollback rate.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE ABOVE RATES
CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
property tax amount = (rate) x (taxable value of your property) / 100
For assistance or detailed information about tax calculations, please

Being a graduate student away from a university can stink but in a good way
BY KATHLEEN PHILLIPS
TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE
COMMUNICATIONS
BEAUMONT — The
whiff of stink bugs was
expected.
Walking through farm
fields in southeast Texas, an
entomologist mainly uses
vision to spot insects and
relies on years of education
and field experience to
mentally catalog which are
good bugs and which will
sicken a farmer’s crop into
devastation.
But stink bugs are
different. They, well, stink.
And, there are lots of different
kinds of stink bugs. Some
don’t harm plants. Some do.
But they all stink.
So Dr. Mo Way followed
not just the obvious odor but
his considerable hunches
after noticing a different
stink bug appearing in
several soybean fields near
the Texas A&M AgriLife
Research and Extension
Center in Beaumont where
he’s an entomologist.
And Way knew what to
do. He pointed a graduate
student toward the insect
– the redbanded stink bug
– to determine if a bigger
problem was at hand.
“Redbanded stink bug
is an invasive species on
soybeans,” Way said. “It’s
the most damaging species
on soybeans in our area
now and perhaps across the
southern U.S., and yet we
didn’t know much about it.”
Suhas Vyavhare, was a
new doctoral graduate student
at the time assigned to the
Beaumont research facility
after recently completing a
master’s in entomology at
West Texas A&M University
in Canyon.
For Vyavhare, working
toward a doctorate from the
soybean fields of southeast
Texas rather than a classroom
on a university campus was
the fulfillment of a dream
he’d had since growing up
on a farm in India.
“I was always curious
about agriculture and knew
I wanted to be in that area
for my career. I was good at
identifying insects in college,
so I guess that is how I was
led to entomology,” said
Vyavhare, who recently
completed his doctorate
and now is a post-doctoral
researcher at the center.
In the case of the
redbanded
stink
bug,
Vyavhare
scanned
the
world to find out what was
known about the insect.
After gathering biological
information from experts
in various countries and
studying the insect’s life in
southeast Texas soybean
fields, he developed a pest
management program and
published several scholarly
articles about the insect.
“He found that the
redbanded stink bug was
responsible for delayed
maturity and flat pod
syndromes
in
soybean
fields,” Way said. “We
didn’t know the cause. We
thought it might be stink
bugs, but he pinned it down.

And he also found out what
stage of soybeans is most Dr. Suhas Vyavhare, began working on the problem of redbanded stink bugs in Texas soybeans while still a graduate
student. He earned his advanced degree from his studies at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in
