Beating the Heat...
Texline graduates
11 seniors
By SARAH LOBLEY
T
exline had eleven graduates walk across the
stage last Friday, which is
about an average class size
for the small 1A school.
Although graduating high
school is a great accomplishment, it is not a stopping point, but rather the
first step toward success,
as the salutatorian, Emily
Lobley, pointed out.
“Graduating
high school is
an accomplishment,”
she
said, “but not
the best we can
do.” The valedictorian, Kimberly Cantrell,
advised the graduates to be
themselves and to be crazy
enough to dream big and
then go after those dreams.
“I will leave you with a
quote of my own,” she said
in her closing remarks,
“Today you are you, that is
truer than true: no one will
ever be crazy as you.”
The speaker, Tasha Yarborough, was the senior
class’s junior high English
teacher who now works at
Boys Ranch. She told the
students that what they

this summer. Pool hours are Tuesday through Sunday from was not necessarily the ac1 to 5 p.m. It is also open for Family Night on Tueaday and ademic content, although

that was indeed important,
but rather how to persevere
through difficulties and
apathy. “You’ve gotten the
main event pretty well,”
she told her former students, “and you’re ready
for life after graduation.”
The ceremony also involved a slideshow of pictures of the senior class
throughout their lives.
During the slideshow, the
seniors handed flowers to
people who had made an
impact on them
throughout their
school careers,
such as parents, siblings,
friends, mentors, and favorite teachers.
There were
more than a
few teary eyes
as the seniors
gave out flowers and hugs in equal
measure. Just before the
ceremony closed with the
school song, Gary Laramore, the superintendent,
recognized those who had
earned awards and scholarships. Among those recognized were Kimberly
Cantrell, who received the
Daughters of the American
Revolution Award as well
as several scholarships,
and Emily Lobley, who
was the recipient of one
of the XIT Rural scholarships.
Congratulations,
graduates, and we wish
you all the best and success in whatever endeavors you pursue.

Isom, executive director of
the agency.
The problems of wind and
water erosion in the 1930’s
(which was the reason for
the creation of the TSSWCB and SWCDS in Texas
as well as in other states)
caused great land devastation in Texas and throughout the Great Plains region
of the country. The era
was marked by a period of
drought from 1931 to 1939
that was coupled with severe wind-driven soil erosion of overgrazed range-
land and soil exposed by
the use of farming practices
not adapted to the semiarid
U.S. Great Plains.
“In addition, this catastrophic display of nature
caught public attention at a
time when the state and nation was in the throes of a
great economic depression.
Nature just added additional woes to the suffering of
the people because some of

Faith & Religion
What is a Christian?
Jeff Mize
First Christian Church
What is a Christian? I assume most of
us know that not everyone who attends
church is a Christian. Some prefer to describe themselves as a disciple of Jesus, or
a follower of Christ. Those terms are a bit
more descriptive, but what does it mean to
be a disciple or follower of Jesus Christ?
What is a Christian?
A Christian believes in Jesus
Christ. No Bible author wrote about
this more than John. He opens his
gospel stating, “But to all who did
receive him, who believed in his
name, he gave the right to become
children of God (John 1:12)...”
Toward the end, speaking of the
miraculous works of Jesus that he
recorded in his account, John says,
“these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name
(John 20:31).” And in between,
some form of the word “believe”
appears 81 times, mostly in statements by Jesus, including the well
known and often quoted John 3:16.
John also talks about believing in
Jesus in his epistle. “Everyone who
believes that Jesus is the Christ has
been born of God...I write these
things to you who believe in the
name of the Son of God that you
may know that you have eternal
life (1 John 5:1, 13).”
Paul likewise emphasizes the
importance of believing the truth
about Jesus. Speaking of the good
news about Jesus, Paul proclaims
in Romans 1:16, “For I am not
ashamed of the gospel, for it is the
power of God for salvation to everyone who believes...” In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Paul writes, “For
I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that
Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he
was buried, that he was raised on
the third day in accordance with the
Scriptures...”
The belief both John and Paul
espouse is more than just intellectual assent. A Christian does not
simply believe facts about Jesus, a
Christian obeys Jesus Christ. Being
a Christian is about what you believe and what you do. Jesus said,
“If you love me, you will keep my
commandments (John 14:15).”
Later in the same conversation with
his disciples, Jesus reminds them
of the most important commandment they were to keep. “This is
my commandment, that you love
one another as I have loved you
(John 15:12).” How did Jesus love
his disciples? He gave up his life
for them. Love gives, love acts,
love does. Jesus makes it very clear
in Matthew 25:31-46 that his true
followers are those who show their
love for Him by doing for others. It
is a powerful passage. Why don’t
you put this down and read it now?
A Christian does not only believe
and obey Jesus, a Christian knows
Jesus Christ. In his Sermon on the
Mount, Jesus makes the sobering
statement that “not everyone who
says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven...” He
says there will be some on the day
of judgment who will claim to have
done “many mighty works in your
name.” But Jesus will declare to
them, “I never knew you; depart
from be, you workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:21-23)
Being a Christian about more than
what you believe and what you do;
it is about who you are - and who
you know. An authentic disciple
of Jesus is a child of God because
he knows Jesus personally. He has
a trusting, abiding relationship
with Christ. Jesus describes this
relationship in John 15: “I am the
vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he
it is that bears much fruit, for apart
from me you can do nothing...By
this my Father is glorified, that you
bear much fruit and so prove to be
my disciples (John 15:5, 8).”
Do you believe in Jesus? Do you
love Jesus by obeying his command to love others? And above
all, do you know Jesus? If you can
answer “yes” to these questions,
then you are a real Christian, an
authentic disciple and follower of
Jesus Christ.

Sheep Dog Award
Photo provided
On May 20, 2014 the Dalhart Police Department recognized four students that participated in the Ride Along Program throughout the
school year. Sgt. Eloy Duran and Officer Rudy Corrales were the officers that represented the Police Department in giving the recognition
awards. The four students recognized were Monica Knight, Berenice Anaya, Cesar Chavira, and Eric Greenstreet. In addition to recognizing the students, the Officers also awarded a plaque to the student whom they felt most embodied the spirit of a law enforcement officer.
The officers chose to name the award the “Sheep Dog Award” and the first recipient of the award was Eric Greenstreet. This award will
now be an annual award and the recipient will be voted on by the officers at the end of every school year.

history of the country were
occurring at that time,”
added Isom.
In his book The Worst
Hard Time, Timothy Egan
notes the horrendous cataclysmic forces of nature
which plagued the land
and people during the early
1930’s. This era of American and Texas history is
better known as the “Dust
Bowl.
Egan vividly describes
living conditions that existed in that era. “Dust
clouds boiled up, ten thousand feet or more in the
sky, and rolled like moving mountains and when
the dust fell, it penetrated
everything: hair, nose,
throat, kitchen, bedroom,
but the eeriest thing was
the darkness. People tied
themselves to ropes before
going to a barn just a few
hundred feet away from
the house for fear of being
lost in the blackness of the
swirling dust. Buildings,
fences, and farm implements were seen as all but
buried under the devastating effects of windblown
soils.” Egan goes on to say
that the storms had, “ferocity and density never
before seen and they came
to be known by many as
‘black blizzards.’”
“So, out of this chaos of
nature and economic depression the TSSWCB
and SWCDS were born. It
should be noted that since
the creation of the TSSWCB and organization of
local soil and water conservation districts we can
proudly say that the majority of Texas farmers,
ranchers and timber producers from one generation to the next for the past
75 years have voluntarily
and continuously entered
into working agreements
with their local SWCDS to
implement a soil and water conservation program
on their farms and ranches
to meet the changing conservation needs of every
acre on that property,” said
Isom.
But the story didn’t begin
smoothly. It had a rocky
start until all the political
kinks were worked out.
When the first version of a
conservation law for Texas
came out the early movers
and shakers for such a law
found that it lacked stability and convinced then
Governor Jimmy Allred to
veto the bill which he did
in June, 1937. Their reasons for wanting the bill
vetoed was because the
law would automatically
establish soil conservation
districts on a county basis,
make the county commissioners court the governing body and called for a
portion of county taxes to
finance the program,” said
Isom.
“What they wanted in law
was a farmer-rancher controlled program in which
local landowners would
determine whether a soil
conservation district was
needed. In addition, they
did not want a soil conservation district to have
taxing authority or powers
of eminent domain. A new
bill was written which
satisfied their concerns
and passed in 1939 by
the following legislature.
The rest is history,” added
Isom.
Today the TSSWCB administers several key state
programs that provide
technical and financial assistance to landowners and
land managers who wish
to enter into a
From the Era of the Dust
Bowl to the Present: Commemorating 75 Years of
Soil and Water Conservation cooperative agreement
with local SWCDS to protect their natural resources. In addition, the success
of local voluntary conservation programs involves
partnerships. Though the
name has changed a few
times over the years, a key
partner working with the
TSSWCB and local SWCDS is the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation
Service.
NRCS employs people in numerous
occupational disciplines
including soil conservationists, rangeland management specialists, soil
scientists,
agronomists,
biologists, engineers, geologists, engineers, and
foresters. Some federal
conservation financial assistance programs, enable
these experts to help landowners and land managers develop conservation
plans for crop, range, and
timberlands.
“Conservation practices
implemented on private
agricultural lands benefit
all citizens because implemented conservation
practices not only protect and improve soil resources, but insure a sustainable agriculture from
which come food products
and the raw commodities
which drive all aspects of
the economy. In addition,
conservation practices improve water quality, and
in some cases, enhance
water quantity, but public
benefits don’t end there.
Implemented conservation
practices also contribute
to cleaner air, improved
wildlife habitat, improved
rangeland as well as being
a factor to healthy and viable rural and urban communities,” Isom noted.
“The only reason the TSSWCB still exists 75 years
after its establishment is
because of the state’s soil
and water conservation
districts, and they in turn
exist because of the state’s
farmers and ranchers who
come to local SWCDS
for help in planning and
implementing conservation programs on private
lands. This diamond jubilee then is a celebration
of a success story that has
worked across the state
and across generations because it is based on local
control by those closest to
the issues,” said Isom.
Isom’s words certainly
reflect the philosophy of
V.C Marshall, considered
the “father of the conservation district program in
Texas” who is attributed
with saying, “The soil
conservation district is the
workshop through which
those who love the and
pool their efforts and information in making land
more stable and productive and our country more
prosperous, more attractive and a better land in
which to live. The fact that
landowners themselves
have the responsibility for
petitioning for and voting
in a district, formulating
its
Soil and Water Conservation program and work
plan, administering its
business and entering into
cooperative agreements
with their fellow landowners and operators, makes
soil conservation districts
a democracy in action.”
Will the work of the
state’s 216 soil and water
conservation districts ever
be completed, and will the
soil and water conservation programs administered by the Texas State
Soil and Water Conservation Board ever be fully
achieved? Probably not.
Land ownership changes, or family land when
passed on through inheritance is cut into smaller
pieces of the pie accompanied with varying land
management objectives.
Then too, an ever changing political environment
coupled with ever chang-
ing climatic conditions
and agricultural technological advancements all
impact existing and future
soil and water conservation programs and practices that are implemented
on the land.
The late Raymond F. Dasmann, professor emeritus
of ecology at University
of California, Santa Cruz
added additional insight
as to why conservation of
natural resources is a perpetual process. He said,
“Most conservation problems exist on particular
pieces of ground occupied
or cared for by a particular
group of people. Attempts
to solve them at a global,
or even a national level,
often strike far from the
mark.”
Thus the words of the
founding father of the
Texas Soil and Water
Conservation District Program” rings even truer....
“The fact that landowners
themselves have the responsibility for organizing
a local SWCD, formulating its program and plan
of work, administering its
business and entering into
cooperative agreements
with their fellow landowners and operators, makes
soil conservation districts
a democracy in action.”
The Texas State Soil
and Water Conservation
Board (TSSWCB) administers Texas’ soil and
water conservation law
and delivers coordinated
natural resource conservation programs through the
State’s 216 soil and water
conservation districts.
Soil and Water Conservation
Additionally, the TSSWCB is the lead agency for
planning, implementing,
and managing programs
for preventing and abating agricultural and silvicultural nonpoint sources
of water pollution. The
agency also administers
a water supply enhancement program through the
targeted control of waterdepleting brush.
The TSSWCB, in an additional area of responsibility, acts to ensure that
the State’s network of
2,000 flood control dams
are protecting lives and
property by providing operation, maintenance, and
structural repair grants to
local government sponsors. The agency also facilitates the Texas Invasive Species Coordinating
Committee.

e have finally entered the month of
June, which means we
are officially two months
away from the start of the
XIT Rodeo and Reunion.
The full weekend kicks
off on Thursday July 7
and runs through Sunday
July 9.
But for those of you
that know XIT will know
that even though the official weekend starts on the
seventh, several events
will have already kicked
off and concluded by that
Thursday.
One of those events will
be the junior rodeo which
starts on Saturday August
2 at 10 a.m. Entries are $5
for competitors from the
ages of 0-6 and $15 for
ages 7-16.
There will be four classes this year as in years past
with ages 0-6, 7-9, 10-12
and 13-16.
Jason Swain is the vice
president of XIT this year
as well as the assistant to
the rodeo and the head of
the junior rodeo. This will
be his second year working on the XIT Board of
Directors.

Swain moved to Dalhart
from Louisiana foUr years
ago and started helping out
XIT on a volunteer basis.
Several of the guys helping out eventually asked
him to work on the board
and he has been working
hard for the reunion since.
This summer has been no
exception.
The board of directors
has been hard at work
making improvements to
the chutes and the press
box as well as the concession stands already with
plenty of time out in front
of the biggest weekend of
the year in Dalhart.
The directors and the

will be out plastering the
city next week, so make
sure to go out and see
them as they work around

to play college ball at Frank
Phillips College. She signed
to play at the school in Borger on May 12. She is the fifth
Dalhart athlete to sign on to
play college sports this year.
The fifth signed that day as
well. She joins Emory Lobley, Robyn Elan Puttick,
Dahlia Davila and Kilee
Halbert as a signee.
D
Demi Read signs her letter of intent to Frank Phillips College.
Read helped the Lady
Wolves to a 26-5 record
overall and an undefeated
8-0 record in district play.
She averaged 19.0 points,
8.9 rebounds and 2.7 steals
per game in her only season
in a Lady Wolves uniform.
She transferred from Canyon for her senior season.
Read had a few schools
looking at her but ultimately
decided on Frank Phillips
College who was one of the
first schools to show interest in Read and according to
head coach Anthony Catherall wanted her incredibly
bad after she went down and
worked out for them in the
spring. She really stepped
up her game during the postseason averaging 20.3 points
and 9.3 rebounds per game.
She, along with Mariah

Past is the X-Men to
right all X-Men wrongs
perpetuated by Brett Ratner
in X-Men the Last Stand.
Yes, Days of Future Past
had holes. Yes, it went away
from some of the classic
comic book themes that
make X-Men what it is. But
as someone that watches
X-Men as a fan of the movies and not as an original
comic book reader, Days of
Future Past was everything
I could have wanted.
Needless to say, I was
not a fan of X-Men the Last
Stand, the final true X-Men
movie in the trilogy started
by Brian Singer in 2000.
I even went so far as to
see X2 in theatres seven
times when I was in junior
high. Yes, that is too many
times to see a movie in theatres, but it was one dollar
and I had very little to do
during the week during the
day in the summer.
But I was a huge fan of
X2 and it remained my favorite movie for the better part of three years as I
waited for the third X-Men
to come out and to see what
happened to the apparently
deceased Jean Grey.
All of the joy that I had
from watching that movie
immediately
evaporated
when they killed off Cyclops in The Last Stand and
had the most ridiculous plot
twists ever to cross an XMen movie. OK, I’m using
hyperbole, but you get my
point.
The problem here was
the change in directors.
Brian Singer is on par
with Joss Whedon when it
comes to modern day SciFi. They just know how to
make those movies. Singer
did not do The Last Stand
and it showed in the movies
pitiful delivery and flimsy
plot.
As a result, Singer
stepped away from the XMen franchise for the better part of eight years and
the franchise lost its primary actors in Ian McLellan,
Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart and to a lesser extent
James Marsden and Famke
Janssen.
What we got after that
was a string of spin-offs
that were good, but not
great movies. I could watch
them more than once, but I

year’s reunion, the event
has high expectations once
again this year. Some of
that success will start with
the junior rodeo, which will
be the first day of events
in the arena for XIT. Last
year at the junior rodeo,
Jace Thomas and Snow
Lopez each took home the
overall titles in their events
and they have built on that
success throughout this
year. Thomas and Lopez
each went to compete at
state a few weeks ago and
at nationals more recently.
Both of them are expected
back this year.
“The junior rodeo should
be good,” Swain said.
“There are some kids here
with some talent that’s just
unbelievable and so yeah, I
look forward to the junior

rodeo.”
And the junior rodeo is
a great time to see some of
the young talent from the
area and even some more
talent that may not yet be
realized. There will certainly be plenty of competitors with grit and determination.
“I don’t get to watch
much of it because I’m
always in the chute pushing them up, but I love the
mutton busting,” Swain
said. “The little kids have
got more grit and determination and they have no
fear and they just a hold of
the wool and just go.”

Kenney, were the biggest
reasons for the Lady Wolves
moving on past Seminole in
the bi-district round of the
playoffs. Read drew so much
attention to the paint late in
the game after she was on her
way to a double-double in the
third quarter that it opened
up the outside and Kenney
showed what she could do
because of it. She hit three
3-pointers in the fourth quarter to put Dalhart ahead for
good in the game. Their success continued on to the next
game as Read dominated
Midland Greenwood to the
tune of 22 points and seven
rebounds. She finished off
the season with a 26 point,
nine rebound performance
in the regional quarterfinals
against Shallowater. Read
was one of only two seniors
that graduated from the Lady
Wolves along with Maddy
Silacci. The Lady Wolves
return three of four starters
and will have Madison Sherrill and Katelyn Sybesma
step into the starting line-up
next season. Catherall loves
to get the ball into the low
post and he showed how that
could work when a player
like Read can dominate in
the middle.

Ward Insurance Agency of Canyon.The prospective groom is
a 2010 graduate of Texline High School. He received his diesel mechanic certificate from Amarillo College. He is currently
self-employed as a farmer in Dalhart. The couple plans to wed
Aug. 23, 2014, in Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in
Vega.
Chris and Michele LeFevre and Tom and Melissa McDonald
are proud to announce the engagement of their children, Brianne LeFevre of Plainview and Garth McDonald of Hartley.
Brianne was born and raised in Plainview, Texas. She graduated from Plainview High School in 2010 and continued her
education at West Texas A & M University where she and Garth
met. She graduated with honors from WTAMU in May 2014
with a degree in Elementary Education. She will be teaching

hit a combined .494 with
10 home runs, 29 doubles
and 54 RBIs.
On the mound she was
24-14 with a sub .5 ERA
and 484 strikeouts.
She tossed multiple
no-hitters in 2014 including the one on the road
against Pampa where she
actually came out on the
losing side in a 1-0 game.
Halbert hit three home
runs in the bi-district
match-up between the
Lady Wolves and the Fil-
lies from Shallowater.
She also won the first
game, which was a 4-3
victory. She also hit two
home runs in that game.
She was the difference
in a couple games like that
during the year. In the first
tournament of the year in
Lubbock, she went 4-4 at
the plate with a home run
against the Lubbock Cooper Junior Varsity while
she tossed a no-hitter on
the mound.
It should also be noted
that before she made her
way into Dalhart, Halbert
won a state title in Oklahoma.
X-MEN
never went so far as to buy
any of them and I never
plan to with the exception
of X-Men First Class.
I am going to buy Days
of Future Past for many
reasons I cannot disclose.
I cannot say why this movie rights all the wrongs of
the past X-Men movies.
I am not going to divulge

I’m not a jerk.
But for any of you out
there that felt the same way
about The Last Stand that I
did, you will feel relief at
the conclusion of this movie. It is worth your money
at any time and at any price
at the theatre.
Again, be careful with
kids, there is some violence
in this movie, but it is not
anything too horrible.
I will say there are a few
things I wasn’t a huge fan
of with this movie. I would
have liked to see more of
Quicksilver, and a few other characters as well, but
the positives of this movie
outweigh the negatives and
I certainly plan on seeing
this movie again when I get
the chance. I bet you will
too.

cision on the application, will then be
mailed to everyone who submitted pub‑

for this application, unless the applica‑
tion is directly referred to a contested
case hearing.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTEST‑
ED CASE HEARING You may request
a contested case hearing. The applicant
or the executive director may also request
that the application be directly referred to
a contested case hearing after technical review of the application. A contested case
hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a
civil trial in state district court. Unless a
written request for a contested case hearing is filed within 15 days from this notice, the executive director may approve
the application. If no hearing request is
received within this 15‑day period, no
further opportunity for hearing will
be provided. A contested case hearing
will only be granted based 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 those issues raised
during the public comment period and not
withdrawn.
A person who may be affected by
emissions of air contaminants from the
facility is entitled to request a hearing.
To request a hearing, a person must ac‑
tually reside in a permanent residence
within 440 yards of the proposed plant.
If requesting a contested case hearing,
you must submit the following: (1)
your name (or for a group or associa‑
tion, an official representative), mail‑
ing address, daytime phone number,
and fax number, if any; (2) applicant’s
name and Registration Number; (3) the
statement “[I/we] request a contested
case hearing;” (4) a specific description
of how you would be adversely affected
by the application and air emissions
from the facility in a way not common
to the general public; (5) the location
and distance of your property relative
to the facility; and (6) a description of
how you use the property which may be
impacted by the facility. If the request
is made by a group or association, the
one or more members who have stand‑
ing to request a hearing, and the inter‑
ests which the group or association seek
to protect, must also be identified. Re‑
quests for a contested case hearing must
be submitted in writing within 15 days
following this notice to the Office of the
Chief Clerk, at the address below.
Following the close of all applicable
comment and request periods, the executive director will forward the application
and any requests for contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission
meeting. If a hearing is granted, the
subject of a hearing will be limited to
disputed issues of fact relating to rel‑
evant and material air quality concerns
raised during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the
Commission’s jurisdiction to address in
this proceeding.
MAILING LIST In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask
to be placed on a mailing list to receive
future public notices for this specific application mailed by the Office of the Chief
Clerk by sending a written request to the
Office of the Chief Clerk at the address
below.
