Texline names new superintendent
By NIXIE SANDERSON
THE DALHART TEXAN
The Texline Independent School District
recently appointed Jody Johnson as the new
superintendent for the district.
The board voted to approve Johnson as the
new superintendent May 9, and he will sign his
contract to officially take the position June 1.
“I want to continue what Mr. Laramore has
started and continue to make Texline ISD the
best we can possibly make it,” Johnson said of
his appointment as superintendent.
This is Johnson’s second year as principal
at Texline ISD. Johnson previously served as
principal at Happy High School for six years,
and he taught physical education and social
studies.
“I’m grateful to have this chance and to
keep this going,” he said.
Current Superintendent Gary Laramore
submitted his resignation to the board last
month after nine years with the district.
Laramore is heading to Seminole, Texas, in
June.
Johnson says a new school principal will
be named at a later date.

Around the world in third grade
The third grade students at Dalhart Elementary took their classmates on a trip around the world
Wednesday for International Day. After extensive research and preparation, each of the seven
third grade classes presented information on a different country, and students from the younger
classes took turns visiting each class and learning about the different cultures. The third grade
students were prepared with presentations about festivals, food, clothing, geographical locations
and history for each country represented. Countries represented included Brazil, Japan,
Germany, Ireland, Ecuador, England and Mexico. Pictured above, Samantha Cancino, Arely
Gonzalez and Carrina Chavez presented information about the Andes. For additional photos,
see page 8A of this edition of The Dalhart Texan.

But then there’s Callie Shipley,
an aspiring journalist set to graduate

stranger to Austin in the spring. She
has competed at the state level all four
years of high school. As a freshman,
she competed in literary criticism; as a
sophomore she won first place in feature
writing; and as a junior she took sixth
place in feature writing and second place
in headline writing.
This year, she qualified to compete at
state in four events, an almost unheard of
accomplishment: news writing, feature
writing, headline writing and editorial
writing. Channing ISD Superintendent

Robert McLain notes about
Shipley’s success, “This is
truly an amazing feat.”
“Advancing in four
events, my thought process
was ‘okay, I have four shots
to make it.’ I really wanted to
compete at state as a senior,
so I felt lot of pressure to
advance. To make it in all
four events was beyond
anything I could have asked
for,” Shipley said.
Shipley’s natural love
for writing, combined with
coaching from her mother,
who teaches English, and
guidance from her high school
journalism teacher have been
the leading inspirations for
her success.
“I’ve really always loved
to write, but wasn’t quite
sure what direction to take
with that until I became a
freshman,” Shipley recalled.
“My journalism teacher,
[the late] Mrs. Ziegler, took
our journalism class to a
workshop at WT in Canyon.
That’s when I really got
interested in joining the
journalism team and being a
part of that. Ever since, I’ve
been doing journalism events
and I’ve really enjoyed it.”
Last summer, Shipley
spent her time as an intern at
Amarillo’s News Channel 10,
doing much more than fetching
coffee. While there, she ran
the teleprompter, helped write
stories, conducted interviews,
and edited video, among the
various other tasks.
Shipley
plans
on
attending West Texas A&M
University in Canyon in the
fall and majoring in broadcast
journalism. She would like to
see herself as a feature writer
or in the public relations
field, possibly even teaching
journalism.

Faith
Where do hypocrites go?!
To church. That’s right!
On every Sunday, churches
in this town are full of them.
In fact, churches all over the
world are full of them.
You don’t believe me?
Come visit us at Liberty
Baptist this Sunday. I’ll
introduce you to some . . .
starting with me.
The scary thing is,
not only is Liberty full of
hypocrites, it’s also full of
people who are wrestling
with lying, fear, alcoholism,
worry,
racism,
pride,
adultery, bitterness, drug
addiction, anger, and more.
Yep, the church is full
of sinners . . . starting with
its pastors.
Is this a problem?
Well, apparently for
many, it is. We have all
heard the excuse, “I’m not
going to church! That place
is full of hypocrites!” To
which I reply, “What better
place for them to go!”
Is this a problem for
God, Christ, or other
believers in the church?
Let’s take a look at
some Scriptures to find out:
• Luke 5:17 And
when Jesus heard it, he
said to them, “Those who
are well have no need of a
physician, but those who
are sick. I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners.”
Jesus is saying, “I didn’t
come to heal those who
think they are well. I came
to heal those who know
they aren’t.”
• 1 Timothy 1:15 The
saying is trustworthy and
deserving of full acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners,
of whom I am the foremost.
Here the apostle Paul is
saying, I am the number one
sinner I know.
• At the end of
Romans 7, the Apostle Paul
is describing his continuing
struggle with sin. His sin
didn’t keep him from Christ
and the church . . . it drove
him toward it!
• James 5:16a says,
Therefore, confess your
sins to one another and pray
for one another. The church
isn’t a place for perfect
people, or for hiding sin.
The church is a place for
sinners and a place for
finding help.
• Galations
6:1
Brothers, if anyone is
caught in any transgression,
you who are spiritual should
restore him in a spirit of
gentleness. Keep watch on
yourself, lest you too be
tempted. The church is a
place for “people in need
of change to help people in
need of change.”
Ultimately it is the
good news (“gospel”) of
Jesus Christ’s life, death,
and resurrection that gives
hypocrites (and every other
kind of sinner) hope.
Jesus lived the perfectly
un-hypocritical life for those
who would believe. And
Jesus died the death that
all of us hypocrites earned
through our hypocrisy
(and every other sin we
committed).
When we repent of our
sins and trust in Christ as
our Lord and Savior our
sins are forgiven, we are
given power by God’s Spirit
to change, and we are made
part of God’s family (aka
“The Church”).
The church is full of
people who continue to
fight against sin through
the hope of the gospel and
power of the Spirit. We
aren’t sinless, but we are
forgiven. We aren’t perfect,
but one day (in heaven) we
will be, because of Jesus.
People outside the
church don’t wrestle any
less with sin than those
inside the church.
The good news is that
people inside the church
have the good news of the
Jeremy McMorris
gospel, the power of the
Holy Spirit, and the help of
fellow believers.
If you don’t have a
group of hypocrites that
you meet with on Sunday,
come and visit us, and we’ll
all rejoice in the good news
of the One who wasn’t a
hypocrite.

Wet conditions continued to delay hay harvesting throughout much of the state
Submitted by Robert Burns
Texas A&M AgriLife
Communications
COLLEGE STATION
– Continued heavy rains
through the South, Central,
Southeast, East and North
regions of the state delayed
hay harvesting, said a Texas
A&M AgriLife Extension
Service expert.
The
current
cool,
extremely wet conditions in
many areas of the state have
led to a lot of cool-season
crops producers haven’t
been able to harvest, said
Dr. Vanessa Corriher-Olson,
AgriLife Extension forage
specialist, Overton.
The
problem
with
not being able to harvest
ryegrass
is
two-fold,
Corriher-Olson said.
One is the potential loss
of a high-value product:
Cool-season
varieties
such as ryegrass have high
nutrient values.
Second, by persisting
much longer than usual,
ryegrass
can
shade
and
prevent
warmseason forages such as
Bermudagrass from coming
out of dormancy.
In more southern areas,
Bermudagrass has already
broken dormancy, and
farmers would ordinarily be
gearing up to take a first hay
cutting, she said. But with
soggy, saturated soils, they
can’t take tractors or even
pickup trucks into fields
without getting stuck.
In
many
cases,
there really are no good
alternatives other than
waiting for fields to dry
out.
Even turning cattle into
graze rather than harvesting
for hay may not be an
option, she said.
“Grazing is obviously
still an option in some
fields,”
Corriher-Olson
said. “It’s always better
to utilize cattle to harvest
these forages rather than a
machine. Cattle are much
more efficient harvesters
than any machine.”
However, she said, there
are many hay meadows that
are not equipped to support
grazing
cattle.
Either
there’s no water source or
the fencing isn’t sufficient
or both.
“So what’s left is to play
a waiting game,” CorriherOlson said.
Unfortunately,
as
forages mature they lose
nutrient value, she said. But
farmers will still have to
eventually harvest what in
many cases may be a lower
quality product to allow
new growth to come on.
“It’s important to keep
in mind that mature ryegrass
will still have a much higher
nutrient value than overmature
Bermudagrass,”
Corriher-Olson said.
She
emphasized
that having hay samples
analyzed
during
these
delayed harvest conditions
is just as important as during
normal harvest conditions.
AgriLife
Extension
district reporters compiled
the following summaries:
P a n h a n d l e :
Temperatures were near
average and more rain was
received. Soil moisture was
mostly adequate.
Planting was delayed
throughout most of the
region by wet conditions.
Frequent rains and
overcast
conditions
contributed
to
wheat

disease.
Because of delayed
plantings, producers were
considering shorter-season
corn hybrids and perhaps
adding more grain sorghum
in their crop mix.
Cotton plantings were
expected to be short, and
with the continued rainfall,
the planting window was
getting shorter.
Winter
wheat
that
survived the hail storms,
disease
and
insect
infestations was expected to
have respectable yields.
Most wheat fields had
enough moisture to get the
crop to harvest as it was
headed and in good shape.
Hansford
County
producers were getting
back in the fields for corn
planting. Corn that was
planted had emerged and
looked good.
Irrigated wheat looked
very good.
Some dryland wheat
looked good and bad.
Dryland wheat heading was
spotty in some fields.
Hansford County has
some playa lakes containing
water for the first time in
years.
The calving season was
mostly over. Cattle looked
great with all the green grass
to eat; some were being
grazed on dryland wheat.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE
Loose Cow
One of the greatest
feelings in the world is to see
a cow loose on the road and
realize it’s not yours!
I know that sounds
awful. And I do feel a little
guilty sayin’ it, but it’s true!
Of course, I do feel bad for
whos’ever critter it is. And
many’s the time I’ve driven
‘em down my lane and penned
‘em up and called the owner
of the wandering beast.
Chasin’ somebody else’s
cow back where she belongs
is kinda like drivin’ a rented
car. You do your best but
you don’t worry about the
outcome quite as much.
‘Specially if there’s three or
four neighbors helpin’!
Or passing motorists who
are always willing to help.
They’re usually about as
much help as a town dog but
they’re enthusiastic! There’s
something that draws these
good Samaritans, like a car
wreck or someone threatening
to jump off a bridge!
If things are getting out
of hand, there’s always the
possibility you can take down
your rope and get a shot or
two at her before she crawls
through the fence! ‘Course,
if it’s your cow, it’s different!
You’re racin’ around tryin’
to get the lower pasture gate
open whilst keepin’ an eye
on her last reported position.
You’re shouting orders at
members of your family
and the neighborhood pets,
stationing motorists to slow
down traffic and mostly
makin’ a fool of yourself.
The cow, on the other
hand, has developed amnesia!
She seems to have lost all
memory of where she’s been
eating and sleeping for seven
years! She’s got her head up
in the air like a drum major!
She’s crashing through the
neighbor’s corn, headin’ for
the truck stop a mile away!
You manage to get her
headed off the creek, where
she breaks back south, in the
opposite direction of your
place! You are a’horseback
and the wife’s ratlin’ down
the end of the corn rows in
the pickup. It’s a good thing
the thirty-thirty is with her!
The cow finally turns up
the neighbor’s drive and is
converged on by six vehicles,
swerving in like treasury
agents at a moonshiner’s
convention! You find her in
the neighbor’s shop calmly
chewing on electrical wire.
With a little help you get
her worked into his corral,
then go home and get the
trailer and haul her home. An
experience you won’t long
forget, ‘specially since it will
be the hot topic at the coffee
shop for the next thirty days!

WEARING NAMES
We do not charge those who wear human names
of being immoral for doing so. Yet it is religiously wrong.
They can not be work by faith because they are not
authorized in the New Testament, Rom. 10:17; “and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” (Rom. 14:23).
Human names cause division which is plainly
condemned, 1 Cor. 1:10-13.
The desciples of Christ were called Christians, Acts
11:26. We suffer as Christians, 1 Pet. 4:16. If this name was
not given by inspiration, no one has a right to wear it. If
this is not the new name prophesied of, Isa. 62:2, then
what is the new name? Do you call yourself religiously by
any other name?
