Community prays
for Baby Brooks at
Candlelight Vigil
By ZELDA BETH LANG
A
large group of Dalhart
residents gathered in
the 7th Street Park on Saturday night, July 19, for
a Candlelight Service for
Baby Brooks, the baby
found alive in a dumpster
last Saturday night, July
12.
Robert Ledbetter with
Hillside Christian Church
opened the ceremony. He
said we are here pleading
for this child, praying for
us to focus on the child. All
present were given a candle
and as darkness began the
candles made a wonderful
glow. Adults, parents and
children were all holding a
candle.
Associate Pastor of the
first Baptist Church, Brian
Walton said “God has a
plan for this young man.”
The group joined in a silent
prayer followed by a solo
on a guitar and a song sung
by Zach Dietz, worship and
youth pastor at the newLife
Church.

have a safe alternative
when they can’t take care
of their newborn for one
reason or another — there
is a Safe Haven or Baby
Moses Law in place.
Community leaders want
everyone to know about
the law in the wake of a
newborn baby found alive
in a dumpster recently in
Dalhart who is in critical
condition in a hospital in
Amarillo.
If you have a newborn
that you are unable to care
for, you can take your baby
to a designated safe place
with no questions asked.
The Safe Haven law, also
known as the Baby Moses Law, gives parents
who are unable to care for
WEATHER
their child a safe and legal
choice to leave their infant
with an employee at a designated safe place –a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical services
(EMS) station. Then, your
baby will receive medical
care and be placed with an
emergency provider.
Information for Parents:
• Your baby must be 60
days or younger and unharmed and safe.
• You may take your baby
to any hospital, police station, fire station or emergency medical services
(EMS) station in Texas.
• You need to give your
baby to an employee who
works at one of these safe
places and tell this person
that you want to leave your

Quotes:
I felt very bad because here was the man I liked and trusted the most as a critic
then, the man who believed in the mot juste —the one and only correct word to
use—the man who had taught me to distrust adjectives as I would later learn to
distrust certain people in certain given situations...-- Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast , 1964
I felt that something might be learned of what I wanted from Flaubert and the
mot juste so admired by Ford and Pound.-- A. S. Byatt, “Still Life/nature morte,”

Origin: Mot juste is a borrowing from the French word of the same spelling and
meaning. It entered English in the late 1800s.

he Dalhart ISD Board
met Tuesday night,
July 15 in two sessions.
A budget workshop was
held from 6 to 7 p.m. and
the regular meeting was
scheduled for 7 p.m.
There will be a second
budget workshop in August and a final budget
workshop and approval of
the budget also in August.
During the regular meeting Robert Ledbetter representing the Ministerial
Alliance, asked the Board
to consider prohibiting
activities on Sunday and
Wednesday evenings. He
also asked the Board to
consider not having mandatory events during the
summer. He said “Let the
students decide what they
want to do.” He said he
realized that some events
might have to be practiced
on a Sunday afternoon,
like a One-Act Play or
other events. He asked the
Board to consider these
requests and put on a future agenda.
During the Superintendent’s report he discussed
the possibility of a Rodeo
Club. He said any club
must put their bylaws together. This would be an
extra curricular activity
and have a high school
sponsor and guidelines.
He asked the Board if
they wanted him to look
into this and check other
schools and check if any
have a Rodeo Club. The
Board said they would
like him to look into it.
Sydney Roach, Education Coordinator for
Head Start, at Region 16
in Amarillo visited with
the Board. She discussed
a Home Based program
for children from birth
to 3 years of age in Dal-
lam and Hartley Counties.
This program would have
24 children. There would
be an hour and a half each
week with a visit to each
home where these children
are enrolled. The Board
voted to allow the Early
Head Start program.
The High School Student
Handbook was reviewed
and there were changes
made by officials at the
campus last year and were
accepted by the Board.
An update on School Improvement Plans was discussed.
Doug Whitt with Southwest Securities of Dallas
went over a potential bondrefunding program and to
adopt an order authorizing
the issuance of refunding
bonds, establishing the
parameters of the refunding and delegating authority to the administration.
Whitt said he works with
the Amarillo Schools in
this capacity. The DISD
Board accepted with a
minimum of a savings to
the district of $475,000.
The Board accepted the
tax deed from the Dallam
County Appraisal District.
Food service meal prices for 2014-15 were increased by 10 cents for
the noon lunches on all
campuses. The breakfast
prices will remain the
same as last year.
In June, Kevin Douglas,
XIT Principal was reassigned as DHS principal.
Derek
Hollingsworth,
DHS principal was reassigned as XIT principal.
During the executive
session, resignations were
updated and employment
at the district was also
updated.
Bus driver wages were
set and a stipend schedule
was adopted. Substitute

All About Kids Day celebrates children
By SARAH LOBLEY
H
ere in the United
States we have holidays celebrating mothers,
fathers, grandparents, even
office workers, and while
we have a Children’s Day
(which took place on June
8 this year), it is not widely
celebrated, at least not in
this area. Mary Campbell
has been changing that
with Mazzios All About
Kids Day, which will take
place at Rita Blanca Lake
on July 26 this year. “It’s
important for kids to have
a day just for them,” said
Campbell.
When she first started the
event 5 years ago, the idea
was to give back to the
community and its kids
by providing fun, games,
and free school supplies.
“There is a great need
in our community,” said
Campbell. “We have a
lot of mid- to low-income
families who could really
use the help.” The first
year, the event was held in
the parking lot of Mazzios. “A lot of kids (about
200) showed up,” Campbell said, “and it was really hot, plus I was worried
about all those kids being
so close to traffic.” The
next year, All About Kids
Day was moved to Rita
Blanca Lake, where it has
been held ever since.
The event has been growing steadily since it first
started five years ago.
From the 200 that showed
up the first year, the numbers have increased to over
450 kids last year. “Judging by the supplies we
handed out, we had 467
kids last year,” Campbell
stated, “and that was just
the ones that got supplies.
A lot of families don’t re-
ally need the supplies and
come for the fun.”
That fun includes several
new activities this year
such as a karaoke booth
and fun photos courtesy of
Gina Milton. As in years
past, Frontier Fuel has
donated a girl’s and boy’s
bicycle to be given away
and KXIT will be on live
remote. Campbell would
like to remind everyone
that the event is completely free.
Every year, there are more
and more volunteers who
donate time, money, and
supplies. G&G, Hilmar,
Hart Chevrolet, the Elks
Lodge, the Rotary Club, the
Lions Club, United Supply
and many, many others
have made this event possible. “Some businesses
don’t have a lot to give,”
Campbell said, “but even
small checks add up.”
West Texas Gas donates
hot dogs, First State Bank
donates water, Cargill and
the Rotary Club donae
drawstring
backpacks,
and many people donate
school supplies. Campbell
takes the donated supplies
and then buys more. When
the event first started, she
bought the same supplies
for every kid, but in the
past couple of years, she
gets copies of the supply
lists for the local schools
and has kids go through
and get the supplies they
need off of the list. The
few leftovers she has are
donated to school supply
closets.
There is still time if you
would like to donate.

By Joe Warren
The shot of my life...Almost
D
alhart thumped Dumas in this year’s Ryder Cup and
Challenge Cup matches at Dalhart Country Club and
I got to be a part of the experience for the first time.
Granted I was in position 23 of 24 golfers on our team,
low on the “B” side, but it was an honor to tee it up for
the first of what I hope are many matches for the Dalhart
squad.
Dalhart didn’t beat Dumas by a few strokes or points,
but by a bunch of matches — it was impressive
And, Dalhart’s Challenge Cup team won 27 matches to
Dumas’ 5 matches and that was against Dumas’ best-ofthe-best.
I’ve played a bunch of competitive golf in by time, the
first tournament I remember playing was a four-hole event
when I was about 10-years old. I still have the medal I
won. I played high school golf for four years and even
had a shot to play in college, but went another route.
Even though I’ve been playing competitive golf for
nearly 40-years, I’ve never played in such a fun event as
the Challenge Cup.
Even leading up to the weekend was fun practicing with
Dalhart’s teams. This bunch of golfers are some of the
best I’ve played with, but more importantly, they are a
tight group of friends, some even related, most who have
been playing together for years.
For a brief moment on Sunday, the final day of the challenge, I got to be in the spotlight.
Not because we needed the win in my match, more due
to the fact we teed off last and I could not close my partner out — the match kept going back and forth through
16 holes. We were the last group on the course and carts
from each team full of golfers who had finished started
watching. I started to get a little nervous because so many
people showed up to cheer us on.
Needless to say I had a bad hole on the 17th and found
myself down one with one to play. That’s when some of
the old experience kicked in for me. I’m glad it did because I didn’t want to let the match go in front of everyone.
Suddenly I was back at that four-hole match as a 10 year
old with all my friends and parents watching me play the
final hole or walking down the 18th fairway at the state
championship my senior year with hundreds watching,
and I was not shaking in my golf shoes anymore. I was
calmed by the fact so many even cared.
On 18, things got exciting for me. We were both in front
of the green in two and I hit what I thought was a good
shot to the green. It ended up about 12 feet away from the
pin, but to me it looked like a much longer putt. I sank
the putt and my partner conceded the hole and we split
the match. Whew, I remember thinking as I reached in the
cup for my ball and shook my partner’s hand.
Everyone on our team seemed so proud of me, and being
a fairly newcomer that felt better than making that putt to
save my butt.
I met a gentleman who came out to watch the event who
has been a member of the Country Club for 50 years and
has played many matches over the years. He was there to
support the Dalhart team because he remembers how important it is to have someone rooting for you during these
long hot challenges under the July Texas sun.
After talking to people on both teams, some of the members who came out to watch, and visiting with some of the
old-timers, I realize it’s really something special. There is
some history in this event. I’m just glad I could be a part
of it, and in some small way, help create it.

S
ummer volleyball is
a way to get the local
athletes a chance to get a
rhythm on the court and
get them ready for the first
scrimmage of the season,
and above all else, just
have a little fun.
However, on July 14
when Dalhart took on
West Texas High, the Lady
Wolves did a lot more than
just have fun.
West Texas High did not
have their full team in attendance and Dalhart had
some of their best players on the court including
Madison Sherrill, Katelyn
Sybesma, as well as several other varsity returners
in Sibbie Priestly and Peyton Shelton.
The result was a severe
shellacking of the Comanches on their home court.
Though there was no
real scoring system in
place, a tally was kept
throughout the 30 minutes the two teams faced
off. The Lady Wolves
out scored the Lady Comanches 68-32 in the first
game of the night.
Everyone got in on the
scoring in the game as six
different players had kills
in the game and seven had
aces.
There is no doubt that
going into this season,
which starts with a scrimmage at Caprock on August 8, that Madison Sherrill is going to be her usual
dominant self.
That was more than
clear on Monday night as
she had seven kills and
three aces in the match-up
with West Texas.
But the encouraging
thing for the Lady Wolves
was that they got scoring
from more than just Sherrill on the court.
Katelyn Sybesma had
eight kills, a block and an
ace, Peyton Shelton had
seven kills and five aces,
and Macie Shelton had
four kills and four aces.
Those four players
all have a good chance
to start this season, and
whether or not that comes
to fruition, the fact is, all
of those players will get
significant playing time.
That can only mean
positive things for the
Lady Wolves at this point.
All of them had solid performances and were too
much for the Lady Comanches on their home
court.
Though the offense
could use a little bit more
rhythm, the Lady Wolves
looked solid in the front as
well as in the back.
Sibbie Priestly and
Hayden Dunham were
both very solid on the back

est Texas High was
not at full strength on
Monday evening, Borger
was pretty darn close to it.
The Lady Wolves took
on the Lady Dawgs in their
second game on Monday
night and they opened up
their presence with authority.
They started off the
game on a 5-0 run and were
up 8-1 before Borger knew
what hit them.
They got there by doing
what they do best and that
was attacking with Madison Sherrill. However, her
attack started off from the
serve. She had two aces in
the first few points to open
up the game.
Her serving put the Lady
Dawgs on their heels and
as a result, it opened up the
attack for Peyton Shelton
and Katelyn Sybesma.
The two players combined for 11 kills in the
game with eight going to
Sheton and three going to
Sybesma. Ads that to the
fact that that Sybesma and
Sherrill each had a block
in the game and the Lady
Wolves were off to their
second dominating performance of the night.
Putting all the points
together, again not with
normal scoring, the Lady
Wolves out scored Borger
55-32 in the 30-minute
scrimmage.
Now, Borger was not at
complete full strength, but
neither was Dalhart, so the
dominating performance
has to mean good things
for the Lady Wolves.
The Lady Dawgs will
also be in a period of transition this season as they
will have a new head coach
heading into the season and
they had a few key players
graduate as well.
However, the Lady
Dawgs were the co-dis-
trict champions at the JV
level along with the Lady
Wolves, so they will have
reinforcements coming as
well.
These two teams are
going to have very heated
games when the district
schedule rolls around and
you can bet both teams are
going to remember this
game.
Now, it is just summer
ball, but the Lady Wolves
were leaps and bounds better than Borger on July 14.
And not all of the scoring came from Sherrill.
When the Lady Wolves
lost to the Lady Dawgs on
their home court in the first
district game last season,
Sherrill had some eight or
nine kills in the first game
that led the Lady Wolves to
a victory in that one.
However, when they
continued to do that for the
rest of the game, the Lady
Dawgs adjusted defensively and slowed her down
which resulted in three
straight wins for Borger
that gave them the 3-1 victory in games and a leg up
on the Lady Wolves for the
district race.
Dalhart cannot have all
of their offense coming
from Sherrill this season.
They are going to need
other contributors.
Through the first four
weeks of volleyball this
summer, they look to be
focusing on that and succeeding with it.
The eight kills from Peyton Shelton is a great sign
and her offense could really help the Lady Wolves.
But they need consistent
help this season for Sherrill. The more rest they can
get her early in matches the
better. If they can get that
she can come in and close
out the match in the final
game.
But either way, the Lady
Wolves dominated Borger
last Monday, and that could
give them confidence going forward.

line and got several good
first touches up that set up
the offense.
Add that to the fact that
Jordan Strawn had three
kills and two aces and
Coroline Herring had four
kills, the Lady Wolves
look to have good depth
once again this season.
And it cannot be forgotten that the Lady Wolves
won the district title at
the JV level in 2013 and
finished in second place
with only two losses at
the freshmen level.
West Texas High stood
no chance coming into
the match-up on Monday
night, but the Lady Wolves
sure looked very good despite the Comanches not

being at full strength.
