History enthusiasts from around the state gath­
ered in Hutchinson County on Friday, July 17, for a
memorable venture into the region’s past. The area’s
wild west roots run deep in fields and prairies across
the Panhandle, and one of the most notable events in
local history is unquestionably the Native American
siege of Adobe Walls.
To commemorate the battle, members of the Wild
West History Association partnered with local mu­
seums, landowners, and historians to present a com­
prehensive guide on the event’s numerous stories,
heroes, and consequences at the very site where it all
took place. “Thank you all for coming today,” began
Clay Renick, Director of the Hutchinson County His­
torical Museum and one of the event’s first speakers,
“This is a really exciting time for us, we haven’t done
this since I’ve been director in the past three years at
this site. We had a great event last year at the 1864
site; we had a crowd of about 300 people, and this
crowd looks like it’s approaching that. Thanks for
coming.” See Adobe Walls pg. 2

When the star spangled blanket that Helen Marti­
nez had made for Colonel James Fleming at the 10th
Annual Hutchinson County Veterans Appreciation
Banquet was presented, her name was not announced.
She had requested to remain anonymous, but Colonel
Fleming was so moved by the gift that he took the
stage and begged the maker to come forward, threat­
ening not to accept the gift if she didn’t.
She eventually did come up to the front of the ban­
quet hall, and as she approached, the Colonel wrapped
his arms around her like a son home from war hugs
his mother.
She made the crochet blanket (as she has others
for past banquets) which is a skill she never learned
as a child. Although she had tried numerous times
to learn, she just couldn’t master the single, double
and treble crochets that are integral in all designs. Her
work today is a shining example of perfectionism.
The yarn throughout the flag blanket is evenly taught,
a very important aspect of crochet from both and aes­
thetic and practical perspective.
Helen Martinez was 40 years old before she learned
how to crochet. “There was a lady here in Stinnet, her
name was Mary Swift, she had done the most beauti­
ful crochet I’ve ever seen in my life.” Helen remem­
bered. “She was showing me her crochet, and I said,
‘Oh I’d love to learn to do that,’” Martinez recalled,
“She said, ‘I can teach you,’” Even though Helen told
Mary she had been trying but unable to learn from
her aunt, Mary insisted that Helen try again under her
guidance.
The first day was trying, for both teacher and stu­
dent, “I sat there one whole day and didn’t even fin­
ish a granny square,” laughed Helen, “every time I’d
make a mistake, she’d come along and say, ‘Rip it
out, start over.” A granny square is a small square
piece of crochet made from the center out in rounds.
See Honor pg. 2
Eventually Helen found her way and today she says
she’s still a perfectionist. “And still today, every time
I make a mistake I see her face and hear her voice,
“Take it out, start over’” Helen says she loves the
work and while she’s not one for the spotlight, she’s
glad that her blankets have been so well received. She
plans to keep making the blankets for future guests,
and looks forward to many more years of crocheting.
A number of speakers and demonstrations were offered to educate history enthusiasts on one of Hutchinson County’s greatest battles between cowboys and
Indians. (Photo by Alex Mann)
Year in review: City of Borger
commemorates memorial on 9/11
By Alex Mann
September 12, 2015
A gray overcast sky set the atmo­
sphere on Friday as residents from across
the Texas Panhandle gathered to pay re­
spects at Borger’s memorial to the vic­
tims of Sep­tember 11, 2001. Even with
dozens of civilians, police officers, emer­
gency responders, and firefighters sur­
rounding the modest site, the two steel
beams stood no­ticeably tall not only for
their size, but for the weight of what they
represented.
As bagpipes, drums, and choral in­
vocations conclud­ed, the solemn color
guard placed the appropriate flags and
honors around the site, and the ceremony
began in earnest with a moment of prayer.
“Gracious heavenly Father... we come
before you today in remembrance of
what this event represents,” Robert Coff­
man began as the crowd lowered their
heads in unison, “We want to thank those
who provided the materials and effort to
create this memorial. We pray that each
time we see this, that our minds go back
to what is represented here; the police,
firefighters, and responders who risked
their lives, and some who gave their lives
to protect those who were in­nocent.” He
continued, “My prayer is that [the me­
morial] spurs us on to remember that we
have an enemy deter­mined to destroy
us, but that we have a God who is more
than able to protect us... may we always
continue to be one nation under God, and
may Borger be a city under God, and may
Texas be a state under God.”
For many, remembering the sheer loss
of life is an inevitable, and staggering
thought... See 9/11 Memorial pg. 2

Adobe Walls
Continued from page 1
Before jumping straight into the battle itself, Clay was
on hand to explain why a handful of settlers had decided
to set up shop in Indian territory to begin with. “One of
the things I get fascinated with when I’m researching,
reading, or studying Adobe Walls is Bent St. Vrain. It’s
a story that always gets left behind.” Clay explains. According to Renick, a man named Charles Bent and his
frontiersmen colleagues were in the business of western trade, which necessitated the construction of trading posts throughout the region. Even the small amount
of civilization brought by these small forts encouraged
local settlement and trading routes, and as demand for
buffalo hide steadily grew, it was only a matter of time
before hunters founded the Adobe Walls camp. Clay
concluded, “I just want you to know, we wouldn’t be
here if Bent’s fort hadn’t been there, had the Canadian
River not been over there, and the whole story would
not have taken place but for these remarkable men.”
Another speaker, Brett Cruise, offered additional insight into the area’s layout. “You can see it’s a really
beautiful location; a nice broad valley.” Cruise continues, “Just to the north and east you can see the tree
lines, that’s Adobe Creek. Further south, the other tree
line, that’s Bent Creek. Both are spring fed creeks that
watered the area well. You can see this grass was wonderful for horses and livestock.” He says, “All of these
things play into the battle. On the morning of the battle
the Indians would have come up from the Canadian
River, and more than likely moved up Adobe Creek to
charge the buildings coming from the east.”
Those familiar with the battle will remember just how
hopeless the odds seemed for the hunters. As 700 Indian
Braves descended upon 28 frontiersmen and their small
adobe structures, the outcome of the battle should have
been clear. However astonishingly, the hunters held out
against the siege for days, all the while picking off attackers until Indian morale broke, leading to a retreat.
Though the outcome of the battle might seem unbe-

Especially for those called to serve and protect, the
loss of innocent life is always a heartbreaking tragedy.
“On the morning of September 11, 2001, the deadliest attack in U.S. history took place. Four commercial
airliners were hijacked by members of an Islamic extremist group.” Borger Chief of Police Bruce Roberts
began, addressing the gathering.
“In an effort to help the thousands of people trapped
and burning in the World Trade Center, mem­bers of the
New York City Fire Department, New York City Police
Department, and the New York and New Jersey Transit
Department went in.” Chief Rob­erts continues, “That
day 343 New York Firemen, 60 New York Policemen,
23 New York and New Jersey Transit Policemen, 246
airline passengers and crew, 125 civilian and military
personnel, and 2606 fellow citizens were killed that
day. That morning provided all of us with an ugly reminder of the lethal rage and resentment which resides
in the hearts in some. I be­lieve what shocked us most
that morning was not the unthinkable, diabolical methods used, or the scope or magnitude of the attack, but
that it was our way of life that was attacked... Their plan
was to bring us to our knees, and cripple this nation,
but something happened to the contrary. In the days,
weeks, and months that followed this horrific event, instead of lying down, we pulled together as one people,
and one nation. We showed our true American spirit.”
Roberts continues, “We did not quit that day, nor will
we quit today. Now more than ever, we need to show
that American spirit. From floods, famine, economic
depression, civil unrest, war at home, and abroad, and
even from unthinkable man-made acts of terror, we
Americans are steeled by a legacy of determination
and resolve... I know for all of us here today, and for all
Americans, September 11, 2001 forever changed our
world. However it did not change our American spirit,
resolve, or determination.”
In the midst of tragedy, hindsight always becomes
painfully clear. Despite years of subtle warning signs,
the country was unprepared for the tragedy of Sep­
tember 11, moreover, many Americans never consid­
ered that such wanton violence was even possible. Re­
gardless, even today, most Americans still remember
where they were when the nation they knew changed
forever. “When I was asked to speak at this memorial
dedication, the first thing that came to mind was what
I was doing that day,” began Mayor Robert Vinyard,
taking the podium, “I personally long for September
10, 2001. On September 10 we didn’t have to worry
about how much shampoo we were allowed to carry on
an airliner, we never considered we’d see a day when
the sky was devoid of contrails, and we never dreamed
anyone could use an airliner as a weapon of mass destruction... we never worried about words like NSA,
terrorist, or ISIS. We do now.” He sighs, “Let’s remember these pieces of steel as what they reflect... here we
stand with proof in our midst of what can happen to a
nation too satisfied with itself. But even though this act
took place 2000 miles away, the entire country came
together as one America. This memo­rial, built in this
community, reminds us of that. A time of sorrow, and a
time of awesome strength. We will stand in reverence
lievable, several factors contributed to the hunter’s victory; among them, their buildings. “All of them were
thick walled, well built, solid structures, and that was
important,” Cruise explains. In addition to being completely bulletproof, the thick adobe and log walls also
resisted fire, allowing the hunters to fire from near complete safety. In addition to the immediate safety provided by their camp’s buildings, stockpiled supplies for
hunting buffalo allowed them to stay bunkered down
for days. “They primarily had the .50 calibur Sharps
buffalo rifles they’d been using, they were well supplied with ammunition, and that played an important
role in the battle as well,” says Cruise. However above
all, one reason might give a clue to the Indian’s sudden
loss of fighting spirit. “The Indians, Comanche, Kiowa,
and some Southern Cheyenne, were being recruited and
led by Ise Te of the Comanche,” says Cruise, “ He was
a medicine man, who had made some promises to the
various Indians that he could stop the buffalo hunter’s
rifles from firing, that their bullets wouldn’t affect them,
and the Indians were wanting to hear that kind of message, they were desperate.” Cruise continues, “During
the battle the buffalo hunters were quite successful and
fending off the Indians, killing 20 to 30 of them.” According to cruise, the fact that the hunters were able to
fire and harm them was a crushing blow to morale. “The
Indians were quite surprised, I think. Even astonished
that Ise Te’s medicine was a failure, and after the battle
I think some of the Indians even wanted to kill him. He
definitely lost favor.”
Unfortunately, the Battle of Adobe Walls cannot be
summarized in a few short paragraphs, and, in fact, entire books have been dedicated to the subject of frontier battles and history. However for those interested
in learning more about the incredible heroes of Adobe
Walls, including Medal of Honor recipient and famed
marksman Billy Dixon, and the legendary Quanah
Parker, who helped to lead the Native American siege,
the Hutchinson County Historical Museum is a fantastic place to start learning about the unbelievable history
that took place in Borger’s own back yard.
over this memorial for years to come.”
With the concrete and steel standing tall as a mes­
sage for all gathered, Mayor Vinyard took a moment to
thank all those who helped make the memorial pos­sible,
donating labor, supplies, and funds in the belief that the
events of September 11 should never be forgot­ten. In
addition to nearly a dozen local businesses, Vin­yard extended a special thanks to one man who helped make the
whole project possible. “I wanted to recog­nize one individual who was the catalyst to have this whole project
started and completed, Mr. Dwight Rice. Here to receive
the award in Mr. Rice’s absence, is Mr. Troy Brown.”
Vinyard announced, presenting a shining, framed key,
“It is a great honor, and with appreciation, that I, as
Mayor of Borger, award Mr. Brown the Key to the City.
His demonstration of citizenship for the com­munity and
this project is graciously appreciated.”
Though September 11 is a time to remember lives
lost, it’s also a time to honor the selfless courage and
sacrifice displayed by the heroes of that fateful day,
America’s first responders. “Like the mayor said, when
you look back, can you remember where you were on
September 11, 2001? I remember like it was yesterday. I
hadn’t forgot it.” Hutchinson County Sheriff Don John­
son began, offering a short, but resounding speech, “We
cannot forget the lives that were lost. As people were
running from the danger, the fire department, EMS, and
police department were running to the danger. That’s
what we do on a daily basis, we run to the danger. In
this time of unrest in the United States with racial ten­
sions, we have to come together as a nation one more
time... There’s not color. There’s people.” Johnson as­
serted, “We’re all the same race. American. That’s what
we need to get back to. We’re Americans, and proud of
it. Chief Roberts, Chief Watson, I just want you to know,
we’ve got your back.”
Finally, the ceremony moved to its closing ceremony,
and Borger Fire Chief Bob Watson took the podium to
explain the ringing of the bell. “The fire service today
is ever changing, but is still steeped in traditions over
200 years old.” Watson explains, “Such tradition is the
ringing of the bell. In the past, when firefighters began
their tour of duty, it was the bell which signaled the start
of the day’s shift. Throughout the day and night, each
alarm sounded by bell summoned those brave souls
to fight fire, and place their lives in jeopardy for their
fellow citizens. When the fire was out, and the alarm
had come to an end, it was the bell which signaled the
completion of the call.” Watson pauses, “A special sig­
nal of 5 5 5 represents the end of a comrade’s duties,
and returning to quarters.” In honor of the hundreds of
firefighters, police officers, and emergency respond­ers
whose duties came to an end 14 years ago to date, Borger’s fire department struck its own bell in three sets of
five rings.
As the color guard retrieved the stars and stripes, and
the pipes and drums played on, residents of Borger were
reminded once again of what it means to be unified as
a community and nation. As all eyes gathered on the
two beams of steel, differences seemed to melt away
as the entire gathering was unified in offering thoughts,
respect, and honor for the responders and victims of
September 11. In this sense, the memorial served its in­
tended duty with distinction and honor, much like the
heroes who helped inspired it.

FAMILY CIRCUS
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Be tolerant and patient when
talking to partners and close friends
today to avoid squabbles. People are
restless, stubborn and irritable. Tread
carefully!
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Use your Taurus charm to get
along with co-workers today; people
are quick to argue. Expect disruptions,
shortages and delays to your routine.
(Groan.)
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
This is an accident-prone day for
your children or children in your care,
therefore, be vigilant. This is also a
classic day for romantic squabbles
and upsets. Surprises in sports events
are likely.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Your home routine will be interrupted today, perhaps because of
minor breakages. Small appliances
also might break down. Someone unexpected might knock on your door.
DENNIS THE MENACE
ASTROGRAPH
Yikes!
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
This is an accident-prone day for
your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Think before
you speak, and avoid being obsessive
about something.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Your strong concerns about money issues might trigger arguments with
someone. Or perhaps these disputes
are about something you own? Try to
get some perspective on this today.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Today the Moon is in your sign
opposite unpredictable Uranus, which
means people are obsessed with the
unusual or unconventional. It might
be as minor as not being able to get
a song out of your head. (“I Shot the
Sheriff.”)
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This is a restless day for you.
Don’t give in to your insecurities or
worries, because this restless quality
is par for the course. Everyone feels
this today. Just relax.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You might meet a real character
today (someone who is bizarre or
unorthodox), and you feel intrigued,
even obsessed, about him or her. It’s
just one of those things.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Be polite and courteous with authority figures today to avoid problems. Believe me, things can go South
in a New York minute. Don’t push
anything -- go gently.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Travel plans might be canceled,
delayed or rescheduled today. Likewise, medical procedures and legal
matters might take a few detours.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Check your bank account today
and other financial matters, because
something unpredictable can occur.
Do not assume that previous agreements still hold.

in Midland. (courtesy photo by Haylie Young)
By EVAN HAYS
Sports Editor
November 16, 2015
The Borger Bulldogs rallied for an epic victory in Midland Saturday night as they claimed
the bi-district championship by beating Clint,
34-27. Borger went down 14-0 early in the
game, but pulled ahead in the fourth quarter
to get the win over the Lions to advance to the
next round of the playoffs.
The Bulldogs received the opening kick off
Saturday night, and had trouble getting the
offense going early in the ball game. Borger
would gain one first down to begin the game,
but the offense stalled out soon after forcing
an early punt from Bryce Day. However, the
Clint offense couldn’t muster any offense either, so they punted it back to the Bulldogs.
Borger would have some success on the next
possession with a seven play drive, but it too
stalled out and Borger punted. Clint would
strike first on the next drive as quarterback
Sal Gonzalez broke free for a 74 yard touchdown run, so Borger found themselves down,
7-0. The first big mistake of the evening
would come on Borger’s next drive as Bryce
Day went back for the punt, the long snapper
hiked the ball over Day’s head, and the Lions
fell on the ball at the one yard line. Borger
would give up a heck of a fight in the one
yard line, but Clint eventually punched the
ball in for a two yard touchdown, and Borger
was suddenly down 14-0 quickly. The Bulldogs would instantly answer back as Dontae
Chambers returned the next kick off 95 yards
for a touchdown. However, Borger missed the
extra point, and trailed 14-6. After one quarter
of play the Bulldogs were down 14-6.
The next mistake of the night would also
belong to Borger as Clint punted the ball to
the Bulldogs the ball touched a Borger player, and the Lions fell on it. After a four play
drive, Clint would find the end zone again on
a two yard touchdown run, so Clint lead, 21-6.
Borger wide receiver Jud Tyree would play a
big role on the next possession catching two
long passes to get Borger into Clint territory.
As time in the first half expired, Bulldog quarterback Bryce Day fired the ball into the end
zone, and wide receiver Eaya Lewis climbed
the ladder and caught the ten yard touchdown.
Borger failed on the two-point conversion, so
Clint had the lead at the half, 21-12.
Clint would receive the second half kick
off, but had two costly penalties on their first
possession causing a punt. Borger would respond with a four play drive to get back into
the end zone. Bryce Day would pull the ball
down and scamper into the end zone from 27
yards out to pull the Bulldogs closer at, 2119. Clint would be the next team to make a
mistake on their next possession as quarterback Sal Gonzalez was stripped of the ball,
and Borger’s Landon Ibarra would fall on the
Year in review; Bulldog tennis
repeats as 1-4A Area champs
By EVAN HAYS

October 26, 2015
2015
The Borger Bulldog tennis team won their second
Area title in a row this past
weekend. Borger also recently won their second
district title in row as well.
2014
The 1-4A Area tournament began this past Friday. Borger began the defense of their title playing
Sweetwater. The Bulldogs
swept Sweetwater, 10-0.
Next Borger took on Bug
Spring winning that match,
10-3, and then went on to
win the match defeating
Snyder 10-8.
Borger will now play in
the Regional tournament,
and will be looking to make
it to the State tournament
two years in row.
loose ball giving Borger great field position.
Borger would capitalize on the turnover scoring on a five play drive ending with a 17 yard
touchdown pass from Bryce Day to Dontae
Chambers giving Borger their first lead, 2621. However, Clint would respond immediately with a five play drive of their own with
Daniel Zacarius running it in from 19 yards
out. Clint failed to convert a two-point conversion, so the score was, 27-26.
On the Bulldogs next possession they mover the ball back down the field, but would stall
in Clint territory and turn it over on downs.
The Lions couldn’t take advantage of the
turnover, and would kick it back to the Bulldogs. On Borger’s next possession they used
a clutch catch from Jud Tyree of 26 yards to
help get them back into Clint territory. JyUius
Bumpus would then break free for an 11 yard
touchdown run, and Bryce Day would convert
the two-point conversion with less than three
minutes in the game, and Borger led, 34-27.
Maverick Wilkinson would seal the deal on
Clint’s last possession with a sack, and Borger
won the contest, 34-27. Borger linebacker
Miguel Rangel had an outstanding game for
Borger, as he seemed to be every where Saturday night in Midland. The Bulldogs will now
face Abilene-Wylie with time and place yet to
be announced.
