Two council member is the only candidate for mayor.
Spring has arrived in the Texas Panhandle, much to the delight of those who
desperately needed relief from the bitter
cold temperatures of winter. With the
change of seasons come much needed
rain, warmer temperatures and fierce
storms. When severe weather strikes,
it’s important for residents to follow
precautions to keep themselves and their
families as safe as possible.
Dalhart Fire Chief Curtis Brown
explained that Dalhart doesn’t see a lot
of tornado activity due to its location
along a “dry line,” which by definition
is a boundary separating moist and dry
air masses. According to the National
Weather Service, this dry line is an
important factor in severe weather frequency in the Great Plains. It typically
lies north to south across the central and
southern high Plains states during the
spring and early summer, where it separates moist air from the Gulf of Mexico
(to the east) and dry desert air from the
southwestern states (to the west).
“Most of the severe storms involving tornadoes begin in this area but
build and get stronger as they move
eastward,” Brown said. “We still get the
significant weather advisories and the
occasional tornado, but springtime in

chicken, pork, fish, brisket and ribs, using wood coals

WEATHER
(continued from page 1)
Dalhart doesn’t usually get
as severe as other locations
in the Panhandle. We still encourage residents to be aware
of weather systems and how
to prepare for emergencies.”
While Dalhart does not
currently have a designated
public emergency shelter,
several local residents are
coming together to create a
community-based
disaster
management group called
the Dallam/Hartley Counties
Readiness Group for “likeminded individuals wanting
to develop knowledge and
skills” about emergency situations.
More information
will be available as the group
advances its efforts.
Severe storm safety in
school buildings has been a
high priority for Brown. He
is currently working with
school administrators to develop the most effective and
efficient safety plan for students and staff.
“We’re trying to move
away from the typical protocol of students and teachers
lining up in straight hallways
with doors to the outside on either end. If a tornado were to
strike, that hallway becomes
a wind tunnel,” said Brown.
“We’re now looking at a plan
that involves moving students
into interior bathroom locations or places that don’t have
doors at both ends.”
Dalhart has five tornado
sirens, dispersed across the
community. Brown activates
the sirens in a timely manner
when the threat of a tornado
is eminent.
“Each volunteer fire
fighter is also a certified
storm spotter. We take storm
spotting very seriously here,”
Brown said. “The National
Weather Service teaches our
team a class every year and
then our team is able to go
out and know exactly what to
look for and how to proceed.
We sound the sirens only
when we feel the community
is in danger.”
The American Red Cross
provides a free mobile app
that delivers real-time severe
weather alerts and safety
information.
The tornado
warning app, just one of the
many available apps, includes
a plethora of information on
preparing for a tornado.
The National Weather
Service website is also a great
resource and provides the following procedures and tips
for an emergency weather
situation:
• Pick a tornado safe
room in your home such as a

Obituaries
basement, storm cellar or an
interior room on the lowest
floor with no windows. Make
sure all members of your family know to go there. Don’t
forget pets if time allows.
• Conduct a family
tornado drill regularly so everyone knows what to do if a
tornado is approaching.
• Consider having your
safe room reinforced. You
can find plans for reinforcing
an interior room to provide
better protection on the Federal Emergency Management
Agency web site.
• Take CPR training so
you can help someone hurt
during a tornado.
• Include the phone
number for your local power
company in your cell phone
so you can report outages.
• Have a family plan
that includes an emergency
meeting place and related information.
• The safest place to
be is an underground shelter,
basement or safe room. If no
underground shelter or safe
room is available, a small,
windowless interior room or
hallway on the lowest level of
a sturdy building is the safest
alternative.
• Mobile homes are not
safe during tornadoes or other
severe winds.
• If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a basement, shelter or sturdy building.
• If you cannot quickly
walk to a shelter, immediately
get into a vehicle, buckle your
seat belt and try to drive to
the closest sturdy shelter. If
you see large objects flying
past while you are driving,
pull over and park. You now
have two choices: Stay in the
car with the seat belt on. Put
your head down below the windows, covering with your
hands and a blanket if possible. If you can safely get
noticeably lower than the
level of the roadway, in a deep ditch for instance, exit
your car and lie in that area,
covering your head with your
hands.

Faith
By TERRY STEGALL
LEAD PASTOR,
NEWLIFECHURCH
The Draft
I love draft season in the
NFL. Draft season is the
time of year that teams start
investing in their future.
They trade for new players
from other teams and map
out their best chances with
the new crop of college
newbies.
This time of year represents faith in future, investment in legacy and vision
for immediate success.
My favorite stories
during this season are the
documentaries of the successes and failures of the
past drafts.
Often the “Hall of Fam-
ers” are players that were
overlooked in the draft.
I am taken back to the
first days of Jesus’ ministry. He was building a team
of 12 to take his ministry,
mission and gospel to the
world.
As he was picking his
team, he decided to go with
all undrafted rookies. He
gathered a motley crew of
misfits. He must have been
looking at potential, because these cats had zero
experience, zero education
and zero confidence.
Ironically, 2000 years
later you are reading this
because the plan worked.
The draft was successful.
This makes me want
to take a look at how the
Church is doing today in
our draft.
Are we adding rookies
to our ranks every year?
Are we letting them
play ball?
Are we trading them?
And most importantly,
who are we looking for?
I am afraid our refined
churches are looking for
refined leaders, pastors and
volunteers.
To bring it to a point, I
believe more than football
teams, the Church ought to
be developing faith in future, making investment in
legacy and building vision
for immediate success.
I also believe a great
pattern for that is the origi-
Terry Stegall
nal draft. Don’t pick disciples based on experience,
education and expertise;
pick them based on potential and God’s leading.
For us to succeed in the
future we need to lean on
some ancient practices.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE
A Chance Meeting
Baxter Black, DVM
I was at a Farm Bureau
meeting and scheduled to be
on their program. I stepped
off the elevator and a darkhaired lady greeted me in the
corridor. “Does anybody tell
you that you look like Sam
Elliot?” she said, “My husband just loves your stuff.
Your column is what he turns
to the first thing. I can’t tell
you how many times he read
it to me and just laughed and
laughed. Now, on RFD TV,
he tapes it if he’s not going
to be in the house.”
I thanked her and said,
I hope he likes my speech
tonight, make sure I get to
meet him.”
“Uh, he’s not here.” She
said.
“Well, I’ve got a new
book out, I’ll be sellin’ it after the speech.”
Her face tightened, then
wilted, “He died a year
ago.”
I felt like someone shot
an arrow in my heart. I put
an arm around her shoulder.
“It was quick,” she said,
then took a deep breath and
gathered herself up. “We
used one of your poems at
his service.”
“How old are you?” I
asked.
“42. He and I were the
same age.”
I asked if she had children. “Three,” she said.
Sometimes the less said
the better. How can you say
anything that will make a
difference?
I opened my mouth, “My
mother was widowed at age
forty with four boys.
“How did she make it?”
she asked.
My mind slid back to
a part of my life I’ve tried
to bury. Her unrelenting
grief, her sobs through the
bedroom door, all the wellmeaning neighbors and
friends bringing food, the
pills to stop the headaches,
the nightmares and anguish.
Then moving houses to
save $15 on the rent, her
getting a job, doing what it
takes to make it through the
day. Mother made breakfast
for us every morning before she went to work. Four
years AD (after Dad) she
began night classes. Eventually she got a teaching degree. Our lives went on. The
two oldest boys left home,
one to college and one to the
Army.
Ten years AD she remarried and both lived into
their 90’s. She lived with us
in her last several years.
The dark-haired lady
turned to leave, then asked,
“Do you think I will? Make
it, I mean?”
She was running a ranch
with 300 cows, raising 3 kids
and going to a Farm Bureau
policy meeting where she,
no doubt, would put in her
two cents worth.
“Yep,” I said, “I know
you will.”

On the occasion of your 90th birthday, I struggled with what would make
the perfect gift for the woman who has everything. When I thought about
this gift, I finally decided that what I’d like to give is to let you know what
a ‘gift’ you have been to me.
We began our very close relationship when I was just nine years old and
you gave me a set of stationery for a Christmas gift. Being just nine years
old, I really didn’t have anyone to write to and you told me you’d be glad
to be my Pen Pal.

When, as a middle child of
five and the daughter of
a Naval officer who was often
deployed during my early
years, I always felt that you were there for me as I shared my loneliness
and frustrations with my parents or siblings. You encouraged me to
love without question and respond without judgment. (I still have those
moments of frustration today and you still willingly listen and guide me so
patiently!).
It became apparent at an early age that I would follow in your footsteps as
a career woman. You taught me to always be professional, respectful and
dedicated. Even when I had ‘one of those days’ in the office – which was
quite frequent in the beginning - I sought your counsel and it was freely
given. It is to you that I attribute my success and am eternally grateful.
As a wife and mother, I learned about unconditional love, sacrifice and
commitment. I also learned about patience, acceptance and grace during
some of the toughest times in my life as the mother of a very early and very
tiny baby girl. You were never more than a phone call away and I can’t tell
you how much that meant to me and my entire family.
I often refer to you as a second mother. To me you’ve been so much more
than that. A friend, confidante, aunt, peer, faith partner and a sister in
Christ. I am thankful every day that my father had the good sense to have
such an incredible big sister and share her with me.
I thank God every day for the gift of my beautiful Aunt Sunshine.
May God continue to bless you on this auspicious occasion and know of my
love and prayers always,

Though soil moisture is better than it has been for years, Texas High Plains growers are
hesitating planting cotton because of low prices. (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
photo by Dr. Gaylon Morgan)
Cotton farmers face price quandary
but will probably plant anyway
By ROBERT BURNS
TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE
COMMUNICATIONS
COLLEGE STATION –
Cotton growers in the Texas
High Plains have been facing
a quandary: to plant or not to
plant, said Dr. John Robinson,
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service cotton economist in College Station.
Most Panhandle, South
Texas and Rolling Plains
farmers are seeing the best
pre-plant soil moisture conditions they’ve had in years,
but with current futures prices, cotton still doesn’t promise to be profitable – even
with good yields, Robinson
said.
“The futures price for
the crop that’s fixing to be
planted is right now trading
around 66 cents per pound,”
Robinson said. “That futures
price has been in a really tight
range since October — it’s
been trading between 60 and
66 cents — and it just keeps
bouncing around in there.
About a year ago, it was trading above 80 cents, and it fell
because of expectation of
Chinese having a surplus and
importing less – and it rained
in West Texas.”
A fall futures price in the
66-cent range means a cash
price to a farmer who sells
his cotton would be in the upper 50-cent range, he said.
Normally, the cash price
farmers receive will be less
than the futures price largely
due to the expenses related to
carrying the commodity until
delivery.
“Generally that is not going to be a profitable price –
unless we have one of those
years like 2007 and 2010,
where it’s a really wet year
with the rain coming at the
right time and lots of it,”
Robinson said.
At two bales per acre,
dryland cotton farmers could
make money at current prices, he said. However, those
kind of growing conditions
come about once in 10 years.
A more likely scenario
is average or little betterthan-average moisture during the summer and fall. This
scenario would allow them
to make good yields but not
extraordinary ones, which
means they could just about
break even.
“These wetter summers
can happen during El Niño
years, and NOAA happens
to be forecasting an El Niño
year, so it’s possible, but still
uncommon, and it’s a lot to
risk,” Robinson said. “So
if you’re the grower, or the
grower’s banker, the question
is should you hold onto wheat
if you have it, or should you
plant cotton or should you
plant grain sorghum? They
been in this quandary since
the winter.”
The quandary is further
complicated by the new farm
bill provisions for cotton,
which are really just “supplemental crop insurance,” and
based on the current unprofitable prices, he said.
Still, Robinson believes
that most farmers will stick
with cotton because it’s a
“known,” and the profitability outlook for grain sorghum
at current prices is not that
much better.
AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the
following summaries:
Panhandle: Temperatures
were near average most of
the week, with from a trace
to 6 inches of rain received
throughout the region. Cool
temperatures and the rain
stalled field preparations and
planting in some counties.
The planting of cotton
and peanuts was about to
start, and sorghum planting
had begun.
The rains delayed corn
planting in some areas, and
there will be a rush to catch
up as soon as farmers can get
back in the fields.
Where conditions were
drier, corn planting began in
earnest. Some cattle were being taken off wheat grazing.
Ranchers were busy mending fences to get ready to
move some cattle to rangeland in the coming weeks.
Many rangeland fields have
not been grazed for years because of the drought.
The grazing of these
pastures will help suppress
the weed competition and
provide some hoof traffic to
plant grass seed and start the
process of rangeland recovery.
Deaf Smith County producers were assessing crop
damage from a recent freeze,
hail storms and high winds.
From 15 to 25 area fields
may have been totally devastated by the hail. Hemphill
County has received from
5 to 10 inches of rain in the
past 10 days, which really
turned around the soil moisture situation.
Creeks and the Canadian
River were full. Ochiltree
County wheat improved with
a 2-inch rain, but it left standing water in fields. Irrigated
wheat producers able to shut
irrigation off.
Randall County also had
some wheat lost to hail. Cattle were in good condition.

High Plains native plant expert Angie Hanna. Hanna
is the author of www.HighPlainsGardening.com,
the
gardening information website of the Texas High Plains
region. Among other topics, Hanna will be speaking

and High Plains regions.
Hanna was raised on an
organic dairy farm in central
Wisconsin, Marathon County.
She says she came to Texas as
soon as she could by attending college in East Texas.
She held the designation of
Potter/Randall County Master Gardner for 10 years, designed multiple gardens at the
Amarillo Botanical Gardens
and has spoken and presented
extensively on the topics of
xeriscape and native plants in
the Panhandle.

residential water conservation strategies and rainwater
harvesting. For more information email kwelch@northplainsgcd.org.
Water Wise Living conference set for May 12
For the week ending May
2, 2015, Texas auctions quoted feeder cattle prices mostly
steady, with instances of sales
ranging from $2 lower to$3
higher per hundredweight
(cwt). Texas weekly direct
feeder cattle sales were $4 to
$7 higher. Wholesale beef values were lower with Choice
Grade losing $2.35 to $254.64
per cwt and Select Grade falling $4.40 to $243.22. Net export sales for April 17-23 were
down 38 percent from the previous week. Export shipments
were down seven percent from
the previous week.
Cotton cash prices were
0.75 cents higher than the previous week, closing at 63.38
cents per pound. May futures
prices rose 0.35 cents last week
to settle at 66.85 cents per
pound. The USDA NASS Texas field office noted that cotton
planting remained active in areas of the Northern Plains for
the reporting period of April
20-26. Net export cotton sales
were 14 percent lower than the
previous week’s sales. Shipments were down 12 percent
from the previous week and 11
percent from the average.
Wheat cash and futures
prices lost $0.11 and $0.10, re-
spectively to close at $4.55 per
bushel and $4.92 per bushel,
respectively. The USDA NASS
Texas field office reported that
60 percent of the Texas wheat
crop is in the heading stage,
with 52 percent of the acreage
in good to excellent condition.
Eighty-five percent of the Texas
Winter Wheat crop remains in
fair to excellent condition. Net
export sales for wheat were up
noticeably from last week and
the prior four-week average.
Shipments were nine percent
higher than the previous week
and 47 percent higher than the
average.
Texas corn prices were
lower with cash prices down
to $3.87 per bushel and futures prices down to $3.60
per bushel. The USDA NASS
Texas field office reported that
49 percent of the planted Texas
corn crop has emerged, down
from 54 percent at the same
point last year. Fifty-six percent of Texas corn acreage has
been planted, up five percentage points from last week but
down seven percentage points
from the same period last year.
Corn export sales were down
four percent from last week but
up 33 percent from the fourweek average. Export ship-
ments were 22 percent higher
than last week and 35 percent
higher than the average.
Areas of the Blacklands
and South Central Texas received up to 8 inches of rain,
while the Southern High Plains
and the Trans Pecos regions reported totals from a quarter to
a half inch. Last week’s U.S.
Drought Monitor for Texas
showed a slight improvement
in drought conditions for the
state, with just over 41 percent
of the state still in some stage
of drought intensity, down 3.4
percentage points from the
previous week. Additionally,
almost 15.9 percent of the state
remains in severe, extreme
or exceptional drought, down
6.1 percentage points from the
previous week and more than
eight percentage points from
three months ago. On the national level, drought conditions
improved with more than 53
percent of the U.S. experiencing abnormal dryness or some
degree of drought, down 0.13
percentage points from the previous week.

information
on agricultural weather, crop
progress and agricultural markets can be found on the TDA

Who Can Forgive Sin?
No one now living on Earth can forgive sins.
Only Diety can forgive sins. The Jews in Jesus’ time
knew this. When Jesus told the man with palsy,
“Son, thy sins be forgiven then” the scribes accused
him of blasphemy, saying, “who can forgive sins but
God only?” Mark 2:6-7, 10.
Jesus, being Diety, had the power to forgive
sins. No one on Earth today, whether he be evangelical pastor, preacher, priest, or pope has that
power.
“Let no man deceieve you…a falling away
first…and that man of sin revealed—who exalts
himself…so that he as God sits in the temple of
God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thess. 2:3-4.
No man has deving power to forgive sins and
no man is to be worshipped by other men.

APPLICATION. City of Dalhart, P.O. Box 2005, Dalhart,
Texas 79022, has applied to
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
to renew Texas Pollu;tant
Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No.
WQ0010099001 (EPA I.D.
No. TX0057207) to authorize the discharge of treated
wastewater at a volume not
to exceed an annual average
flow of 1,500,000 gallons per
day. The domestic wastewater
treatment facility is located
approximately 0.5 mile west
of U.S. Highway 87, approximately 2.5 miles southeast of
the intersection of U.S. Highway 54 and
U.S. Highway 87, in Hartley County, Texas 79022.
The discharge route is from

this application on April 2,
2015. The permit application is available for viewing
and copying at Dalhart City
Hall, City Secretary’s Office,

ADDITIONAL
NOTICE.
TCEQ’s Executive Director has determined the application is administratively
complete and will conduct a
technical review of the application. After technical review
of the application is complete, the Executive Director
may prepare a draft permit
and will issue a preliminary
decision on the application.
Notice of the Application and
Preliminary Decision will be
published and mailed to those
who are on the county-wide
mailing list and to those who
are on the mailing list for this
application. That notice will
contain the deadline for submitting public comments.
PUBLIC COMMENT /
PUBLIC MEETING. You
may submit public comments
or request a public meeting
on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is
to provide the opportunity to
submit comments or to ask
questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public
meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is
a significant degree of public
interest in the application or
if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not
a contested case hearing.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A
CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for
submitting public comments,
the Executive Director will
Page 11

consider all timely comments
and prepare a response to all
relevant and material, or significant public comments.
Unless the application is directly referred for a contested
case hearing, the response
to comments, and the Executive · Director’s decision
on the application, will be
mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and
to those persons who are on
the mailing list for this
application.

identify an individual member of the group who would
be adversely affected by the
proposed facility or activity;
provide the information discussed above regarding the
affected member’s location
and distance from the facility or activity; explain how
and why the member would
be affected; and explain how
the interests the group seeks
to protect are relevant to the
group’s purpose.
If comments are received,
the mailing will also provide
instructions for requesting
reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and
for requesting a contested
case hearing. A contested case
hearing is a legal proceeding
similar to a civil trial in state
district court.
Following the close of all
applicable comment and request periods, the Executive
Director will forward the
application and any requests
for reconsideration or for a
contested case hearing to the
TCEQ Commissioners for
their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.
TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU
MUST INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING ITEMS IN
YOUR REQUEST: your
name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and
proposed permit number;
the location and distance of
your property/ activities relative to the proposed facility;
a specific description of how
you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way
not common to the general
public; and, the statement
“[I/we] request a contested
case hearing.” If the request
for contested case hearing
is filed on behalf of a group
or association, the request
must designate the group’s
representative for receiv-
The Commission will only
grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact
that are relevant and material
to the Commission’s decision
on the application. Further,
the Commission will only
grant a hearing on issues that
were raised in timely filed
comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. TCEQ
may act on an application to
renew a permit for discharge
of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a
contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.
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.
MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case
hearing or a reconsideration
of the Executive Director’s
decision, you will be added to
the mailing list for this specific application to receive
future public notices mailed
by the Office of the Chief
Clerk. In addition, you may
request to be placed on: (1)
the permanent mailing list
for a specific applicant name
and permit number; and/or
(2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to
be placed on the permanent
and/or the county mailing
list, clearly specify which
list(s) and send your request
to TCEQ Office of the Chief
Clerk at the address below.

A new chapter is beginning for Dalhart’s Lady Wolves
By THOMAS LOTT
THE DALHART TEXAN
Sara Smith loves to talk about her legacy, as she
should.
She has been a part of team that earned medals for the
first time at state in cross country this season. She received
medals as an individual twice in her four years in cross
country and once so far in track, not to mention the fact that
she will be heading on to compete in college at Midwestern
as she signed on to compete with them on last week.
But for all that Smith has done individually, her contributions go far beyond what she has done in terms of medals
and victories.
Before Smith began competing as a freshman, the Lady
Wolves had been to state in cross country the previous year.
Had it not been for Smith, they may not have made it back
to state the following four years.
Had it not been for Smith’s third place finish at state this
year, the Lady Wolves may not have received medals at all,
and had she not shown the type of dedication and production she has, the future for Lady Wolves’ cross country and
track may not look so bright.
But the fact is, the future is shining bright for the Lady
Wolves. Dalhart sent three runners to the regional meet in
the mile and two-mile this season. The two runners aside
from Smith are both freshmen - Sarah McDaniel and Summer Simmons.
And while Simmons and McDaniel did not move on to
state this season, they were possibly the two best freshmen
distance runners in track at the 4A level in the state this
season.
Both of these runners constantly talk about the fact that
they want to live up to what Smith has done. That’s almost
all McDaniel talks about at all. She wants to match what
Smith has done, but Smith would love for McDaniel and the
Lady Wolves to do even better than Smith and the current
Lady Wolves team has accomplished in the last four years.

“As a freshman we didn’t have the area meet, so it was

tition, but I didn’t even qualify in the two-mile my freshman
year,” Smith said. “I just qualified in the mile. I got second
future looks really good.
The most immediate followers though, right now, are
at district I think, and got between fifth and seventh.
And add that to the fact that there were two more fresh- Smith and Simmons amongst those freshmen.
“Little Sarah went in two events and I couldn’t be more

“How many teams out here have three people qualify,
proud of her, I could not be more proud of her.”
McDaniel finished in the top eight in each of the two Lozano, there’s another in the 800 at the varsity level this not even from the same district, the same team qualify for

better be scared next year,” Smith said. “And Summer, after the race, she was really devastated that she didn’t do as
good as she wanted to and her time was not what she wanted
it to be. I said to her ‘Summer, you have three more years;
it’s not like you have two more weeks and you’re done like
me.’
“I said ‘you have so much potential. This is just a chapter. This chapter is named freshman. Next year it’s going to
be named victory; it’s going to be named championship.’”
“This is just a chapter. This chapter is named freshman. Next year it’s going to be named victory;
it’s going to be named championship.’”
