Chester Rose has good reason to smile, winning the Pigskin Pick 10 contest for the third time in four weeks. Rebecca Hatch of FNB Dalhart presented him with his prize on Tuesday morning.
Kerry Miller’s legacy of service
Julie A. FerrArODalhart Texan
Long time City Councilwoman Kerry Miller passed away earlier this week at home.
Having dealt with serious health issues for some time, Kerry had submitted her resignation to the Council, but passed before it could be accepted during Tues-day’s regular meeting.
“She died in office,” said City Manager James Stroud.
Kerry represented Dal-hart’s Ward 1 on the coun-cil since in 2004. “She was a good councilwoman,” Stroud said. “She served the north side for many years.”
“She was awesome,” said Dalhart Mayor Phillip Hass. “She loved being on the council. She loved her animals.”
Hass announced during Tuesday’s council meeting that Kerry requested no services after her death. “If you would like to honor her, donate to an animal shelter somewhere, somehow.”
“She was such a faithful City Councilwoman,” noted fellow council member Rusty Hancock. “We’re definitely going to miss her, and we’re lifting up her family, espe-cially Richard,” her husband.
Kerry’s devotion to representing Ward 1 and that she will be missed was echoed by Hass and other council members, as well.

LaDaryl Smith named AGN Player of the Week
Youth football earns funds for trip
Golden Wolves are Team of the WeekSPeCiAl TO THe DAlHArT TexAN
Dalhart Golden Wolves football running back LaDaryl Smith received a distinct honor this past week.
He was named Amarillo Globe News Player of the Week for Division 4A-3A.
The senior’s performance was described by AGN re-porter Lee Passmore as follows:
“Smith might be the best example of the get-it-done attitude Dalhart has adopted in the last two weeks. The Golden Wolves have had to adjust without quarterback Ryan Bornemeier, who has been out with a broken col-larbone. Smith compensated in last Friday’s surprising 30-8 win at Pampa, Dalhart’s second straight victory that raised the Golden Wolves to a 4-2 records. He ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. Smith got the scoring started on Dalhart’s first possession, concluded the drive with a 23-yard scoring run. In the fourth quar-ter, Smith helped put the game away by sprinting 65 yards for a score after taking the direct snap out of the Wildcat formation.”
Coach Joey Read commented on LaDaryl’s perfor-mance. “[Smith] got the ball and ran hard,” Read said. “We got the Wildcat package where we put him in a quar-terback. The offensive line did a tremendous job for us all night and he took advantage of that. Everybody’s do-ing their part and stepping up, but he’s kind of taken control of things and stepped into the void.”
The Dalhart Golden Wolves football team were named “Team of the Week” by the Amarillo Globe News, as well.
“For the second straight week, Dalhart had a dominant defensive performance by stopping a high-flying offen-sive team in its tracks,” AGN’s article stated. “A week after the Wolves applied the clamps to one of the area’s
best offensive teams, Friona, in a shockingly easy 40-0 victory, they went on the road and did pretty much the same thing to Pampa. Only a late touchdown by the Har-vesters broke a seven-quarter scoreless streak pitched by the Dalhart defense.”
“We’re trying to build some momentum going into dis-trict and this district is going to be pretty tough,” Read told AGN. “We wanted to build some intensity and not let up against Pampa after what we did against Friona. The defense came in making big plays and taking the quarterback out of his rhythm was important. They’ve just been playing as a solid unit and controlling the line of scrimmage. Our linebackers are able to run the gaps and make plays because of our linemen.”

“It’s a dream come true for them,” said Garrett Hancock, a coach with Dalhart Youth Foot-ball. Hancock was among sev-eral adults and a literal team of young athletes who washed cars this past Saturday.
The dream? Playing football in the home of the Dallas Cowboys, the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The stadium opens its doors to youth football teams and cheer-leading squads under a program entitled “Red Zone Games.” Dal-hart 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grad-ers will play on the hallowed turf come November 17.
To help cover the cost of travel, a car wash and bake sale were held to raise funds. Jack Kelso, with Jack’s Car Wash, donated the use of the 7th Street loca-tion. JBS donated pork that was cooked on site and sold as wraps. State Farm donated pa-per supplies, tortillas and water bottles.
Saturday’s weather was far from ideal. The temperature struggled to rise above 48 de-grees, and heavy rain clouds hung overhead.
Nevertheless, Dalhart Youth Football players bundled up and proudly wore their jerseys over their coats and sweaters. Cars
and trucks lined up. The kids worked in teams, some manned the sprayers and scrub brush-es, some dried, and others flagged down passing traffic. No one seemed to mind the weath-er. Considering the amount of young boys on hand, there was much towel popping.
Hancock, who serves as head coach for the 3rd and 4th grade team, explained the youth league has been operat-ing for five years. Dalhart plays against area towns, including Guymon, Boise City, Sunray, Clayton and Texhoma. This is the first year the league has of-fered tackle football for 3rd and 4th graders.
“I have a passion for foot-ball,” said Kyle Grimsley, who coaches with Hancock. “We try to come together and help teach the kids. It establishes early on, at this age, where they’re going to be, instead of waiting ’til 7th grade to start playing.”
“I think it’s making boys into men,” Hancock added. Both Grimsley and Hancock have children who play in the league.
Addressing the community at large, Hancock added: “Thank you for your donations. We hope to see you soon at our games. Come watch your Dal-hart Wolves!”

Facts You Need To FaceFact No. 1. YOU HAVE SINNED. “If we say that have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” 1 Jn. 1:9. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Rom. 3:23.
Fact No. 2. SIN SEPARATES YOU FROM GOD. “And you hath he quickened; who were dead in trespasses and sins” Eph. 2:1. “Even when we were dead in sins” Eph. 2:5. “And you, being dead in your sins...” Col. 2:13. Isa. 59:2 states, “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid (his) face from you, that he will not hear.”
Fact No. 3. CHRIST DIED FOR YOU. “But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Rom. 5:8.
Fact No. 4. YOU MUST OBEY THE GOSPEL TO BE SAVED. “...when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” Thess. 1:7-8. People we read about in the Bible often asked what they must DO (Acts 2:37; 16:30; 22:10). Not only must we believe something, we must OBEY SOMETHING. Rom. 6:17 shows we obey the “form of doctrine.” We believe the doctrine (death, burial, resurrection of Christ); we obey the form of it (Death to sin - Repentance, Burial - Buried in Baptism, Resurrection - raised to walk a new life) Rom. 6:3-4. Neighbor, have you done this?
Fact No. 5 SOME DAY YOU WILL DIE AND SOME DAY YOU WILL BE JUDGED. Heb. 9:27 states, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Are you prepared? We offer a FREE BIBLE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE by mail. Ten lessons.

I have been amazed at how quickly the season has changed.
I have a very large kitch-en window that faces east and, one morning recently, I was amazed it was not as light as before. Since that time, instead of walking Miss Peaches early in the morning, I have to wait un-til after 8:00 a.m. or so.
Of course, Monday morn-ing it was still cloudy. The rain Sunday was great. I just wonder when we will get our first freeze.
I’ve been fighting a sinus problem for months. I’m hop-ing a freeze will help. I’ve discovered a lot of people are suffering from this problem.
I haven’t observed much this past week, other than the weather and change of season. Almost everyone had a day off Monday in observance of Columbus Day.
Here it is, time almost for Early Voting at the Court Houses in Dallam and Hartley County. Early voting in the 2018 General Election will be from Monday, October 22 to Friday, November 2.
Many years ago, my dad, Albert Law, hated to vote on election day. Betty Steele was then Dallam County Clerk. He used to go up to vote early, telling her he would be out of the county, which entitled him to vote early. Not tell-ing a fib, on election day he would leave home in Dallam County, drive south into Hartley County, thus being out of the county.
Betty finally caught on, but let him continue to vote early.
October is a month with some signifi-cance for me. Besides two of my sons having birthdays - a reminder I’m getting older as the eldest approaches 40 - my brother will also celebrate.
The latter date used to be shared by my mother, as well, who has been dead near-ly 30 years now.
There will be an Oktoberfest in Dalhart this month, but I recall the 2017 Okto-berfest at Fort Hood, which I covered as part of my assignments for the paper in Killeen.
They had a German band called “Das Ist Lustig” which performed a lively va-riety of music. The one gal could play in-struments while jumping up and down and twirling her ponytail. It was a sight to behold.
The music was very good, too, including polkas.
Bring raised in a Polish family, I learned to polka at an early age while attending lots of weddings among relatives. (Those weddings included some really good food, too.)
While covering last year’s Oktoberfest, some of the Army officers were wearing leiderhosen. As a journalist, I get to ask questions, so I asked some of them if they also knew how to polka.
None of them did!It was so disappointing.When the music begins that particular
type of melody, my feet get to moving be-cause it’s quite irresistable.
My father was the finest dancer of the polka I’ve ever known. He would twirl me around the floor, and I’d end up ex-hausted. Sadly, he’s been dead almost 20 years, and I miss not being able to polka with someone who has that kind of skill for it.
In fact, I haven’t found any-one to polka with since his death.
Is it that d a n c i n g , in the tra-d i t i o n a l sense, isn’t important anymore?
I don’t think so. Celebrating life through dancing is a rich tradition. The style of dancing has changed, however, where these days it’s almost unrecognizable.
Some time ago, I made out a “bucket list” - just for fun - and two items on it have yet to be marked off.
Fortunately, I’ve had the opportunity to drive a Dodge Challenger, a Corvette and - of course - a Mustang. Not full speed, mind, but I did burn a bit of rubber off the tires each time. (And, there’s always the Richard Petty Driving School in Fort Worth, if I want to get on a track and put the pedal to the metal.)
The two I’m waiting on are: playing a game of pool - which I haven’t done in years and is another contribution to my life taught me by my father - and dancing a polka.
I get a little wistful when I think of hear-ing a live polka band and not being able to dance.
Yet, October will soon be gone, and I’ll have to content myself with the memories until next year.

“What a world!! What a world!!”
PeTer BAumerT
Do you remember the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the wicked witch is melting after Dorothy tossed a bucket of water on to her? All her plans were defeated, all her desires were unfulfilled. It was over. She was powerless. What did she say? In complete despair and defeat she said, “What a world!! What a world!!”
We all feel that defeated sometimes, especially after a week of watch-ing the world around us. So much contention, hatred, immorality, kill-
ing, brutality. This world is a mael-strom of confusion, pain and error. So many saying “This is truth” and others saying “No, this is truth.” So many turn to violence to make their point, or defend their position. “What a world!! What a world!!”
In these times, I take comfort in the fact that, in this world, there is absolute truth and error, there is absolute right and wrong. I take comfort in the fact that eternal truth does not change with the winds of public opinion or the glitter of pop-ular culture. Eternal truth does not change with the greedy whims of tyrannical individuals or regimes.
It is true that we do not always agree with one another on what is truth and what is error.
You know what, that’s ok, be-cause we are not the source of truth. God, our Heavenly Father, is the source of truth. The sooner we receive these truths by the peaceful promptings of the spirit and indi-
vidually live by them, the sooner we will have peace and real joy in our lives and in the life to come.
The storms will continue to rage, but peace will be ours. As we live by the peaceable truths of God we will be fortified against the error, the ha-tred, the demoralization that plagues this world. We will become full of power.
Powerful in our ability to love, re-spect and serve each other as broth-ers and sisters, sons and daughters
of our Heavenly Father. Powerful in our ability to discern
right from wrong, truth from error.Powerful in our resolve to live by
eternal truths no matter what others say or do.
Powerful in our desire to repent and receive forgiveness through faith in our Savior Jesus Christ.
Powerful in our determination to defend others who are oppressed, or feeble.
Powerful in our ability to forgive one another.
Powerful in teaching truths with love unfeigned.
As we experience and receive these powerful gifts in our lives, our faith in our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ will become unshak-able. We will stand and shout with pure joy, “What a world!! What a world!!”

Dear Editor:
In the Dalhart Texan on Tuesday, October 9, I read an article that will stick in my mind for a long time.
It was a personal account by Jessica Mulder about her continued struggle - for years, in fact - to acquire her GED.
As I read this inspiring story, tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart felt her long struggle, but it also felt the victory and exuberance of her finally achieving that goal she just wouldn’t let go of!
Here is a young woman who was NOT going to allow anything to keep her from her ultimate goal: earning that GED certificate!
Congratulations, Jessica. You have earned way more than your GED. You have demonstrated to yourself and to the world that we humans are capable of achieving a whole lot more than most of us ever dreamed. Our deter-mination and willpower is way more effective than most people will ever discover.
Congratulations, Jessica!

Farmers & StockmensBank
Athlete of the Week
Bill KellYDalhart Texan
LaDaryl Smith is the Farmers & Stockmens Bank Male Athlete of the Week. Smith is a junior on the Dalhart Golden Wolves football team.
Smith has played very well all season as the Wolves have built up a 4-2 record, but stepped up his game a notch October 5, helping the Wolves beat Pampa 30-8.
Smith led Dalhart in rushing with 165 yards on 16 carries for an average of 10.31 yards per carry. He also scored two touchdowns for the Wolves. Among the high-lights of the Pampa game, Smith had two long runs as the quarterback in the wildcat formation, bringing a new wrinkle to Dalhart’s offense. One of those runs was a 65-yard touchdown run.
Smith excelled on defense for the Wolves, provid-ing tight pass coverage that helped hold the Harvesters scoreless most of the game. He had three tackles, includ-ing a sack. Smith also knocked one pass away and inter-cepted Pampa’s final pass of the night to end the game, returning the ball into Harvester territory before finally being tackled.
Honorable Mention
Trey Quillin, Cooper Lackie, Hayden Finkenbinder, Luke Osuna and Brendan Herring: Dalhart football. These five make up the starting offensive line for the Wolves, so it is only fitting for them to be recognized to-gether. Their ability to open up holes against the defense helped the Wolves rack up 276 net yards on the ground against Pampa, and they also did a good job of protecting Dalhart’s quarterbacks.
Carson Smith: Dalhart football. Smith had another great night on defense during the October 5 game against Pampa. He had ten tackles, including a sack, and had an interception from his linebacker position. Smith led the Wolves in receiving with four receptions for 49 yards.
Edgar Olvera: Dalhart football. Olvera had eight tack-les against Pampa, which included a quarterback sack. He had one reception on offense, as well, for 17 yards.
Brennan Lloyd: Dalhart football. Lloyd played quarter-back for a few series during the Pampa game, backing up Grayson Garcia. He completed 5 of 10 passes for 58 yards. Lloyd also helped keep the Pampa passing game in check with his play in the secondary.

Lady Wolves stumble against BorgerBill KellYDalhart Texan
The Dalhart Lady Wolves volleyball team had a rough night at home against Borger on October 9, win-ning their first two games before losing the next three and the match.
The Lady Wolves domi-nated the first two games. Dalhart scored the first four points of the first game and took an early 7-3 lead, building that to 10-5. The Lady Wolves had a 15-5 lead before Borger scored again.
The teams went back and forth over the next few minutes until the score reached 19-9. The Lady Wolves scored five straight points, with Borger man-aging to eke out two more points, but Dalhart won the first game 25-11.
The teams were even during the early part of the second game. The score was tied 4-4 when Dalhart went on a four point run. Borger scored the next point, followed by another four straight for the Lady Wolves to make it 12-5 in Dalhart’s favor.
The Lady Bulldogs scored five of the next sev-en points, closing the gap to 14-10. Dalhart came back and scored seven of the next ten points to make it 21-13. The Lady Wolves went on to win the second game 25-15.
The next three games did not go so well for the Lady Wolves. Dalhart took an early 9-3 lead in the third game. The Lady Bulldogs slowly crept back into the game, however.
Borger outscored Dalhart 10-4 over the next few min-utes to tie the game at 13-13.
The teams exchanged points until the score was tied 17-17 before Borger took over. The Lady Bull-dogs went on to win the third game 25-19, send-ing the match to a fourth game.
Borger commanded the early part of the fourth game, scoring the first three points and taking a 6-1 lead. The Lady Wolves kept driving until the score was eventually tied 18-18. The teams played evenly over the next few minutes, reaching a 22-22 tie. Borg-er triumphed, winning the game 25-23 and tying the match at two games each.
The Lady Wolves took an early 4-2 lead in the fifth game, but Borger came right back to tie. Dalhart then scored three straight to make it 8-4 and were nearly halfway to the 15 points needed for a win.
The Lady Bulldogs again tied the score at 7-7 before Dalhart took a 10-7 lead. The Lady Wolves were three points away from victory with the score 12-8, but that end the team’s scor-ing.
Borger put up seven points to win the game 15-12 and the match 3 games to 2.
Madison Todd led the Lady Wolves with 13 kills and Hannah Holmes added six. Holmes led in blocks with eight and Todd had four on the night. Lexi Posey had 18 assists to lead the team, while Todd had 14. Konnor White led in digs with 18 and Todd was right behind her with 17.
The loss gives Dalhart a record of 2 wins and 3 loss-es in district. They have an open date Saturday and will take on the Dumas Demonettes on the road October 16, with freshmen and junior varsity starting at 5 p.m. The varsity will play at 6 p.m.

Wolves open district Friday against Perryton
Bill KellYDalhart Texan
The Dalhart Golden Wolves will start district play at home tonight as the team takes on the Perryton Rangers. The Wolves will be looking to replicate their non-dis-trict play and make a run to the playoffs.
The Golden Wolves’ non-district record is 4 wins and 2 losses, the best start to a season in several years. The wins include a shutout of Friona, unbeaten before com-ing to Dalhart and with an impressive of-fense. A blowout of River Road was among Dalhart’s wins, along with besting Mule-shoe on the road.
Last week’s victory over Pampa proved impressive. Pampa is a much larger school than Dalhart, and the game was also Pampa’s homecoming, so the Har-vesters had extra incentive to play well. The Wolves went into Pampa and scored on their first possession to take an early lead. Dalhart’s defense held the Harvest-ers scoreless until late in the fourth quar-ter, while the offense built up a 30-0 lead. Pampa scored late to avoid a shutout and the Wolves won 30-8. It was Pampa’s first home loss of the season.
The Wolves shone on both sides of the ball against the Harvesters. The defense held Pampa to just 57 net yards rushing and 237 yards of total offense. Dalhart in-tercepted Pampa’s quarterback twice and forced a fumble, as well.
On offense, the Wolves gained 344 yards, with 276 coming on the ground. LaDaryl Smith gained 165 yards, nearly three times as much rushing as the en-tire Pampa team. The Wolves continued to function admirably without starting quarterback Ryan Bornemeier. Grayson Garcia started behind center for Dalhart, and Brennan Lloyd also saw playing time
at quarterback. LaDaryl Smith ran some plays at the quarterback position, with Dalhart using a wildcat formation to get him the ball.
The Wolves will be taking on a Ranger team Friday that has had a rough start to the year. Perryton is just 1-5 on the sea-son, with their first win coming last week against 2A Stratford. It was Perryton’s homecoming.
Despite that record, Head Coach Joey Read expects a tough game against the Rangers. “They are better than their re-cord shows,” Read said. The teams have had two common opponents. Both teams were beaten by Bushland, but Perryton lost by a much greater margin, with the Falcons winning 27-3 at Perryton. Pampa defeated Perryton 23-10 the week before the Wolves played the Harvesters. The Rangers did play well in their opening game against Dumas, with the Demons winning a close game 24-14.
Friday is also Dalhart’s Pink-Out game and fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness. There are activities for younger fans, including pre-K through fifth grade participants in the Dalhart High cheerleaders week-long mini-cheer camp helping lead cheers dur-ing the second quarter.
The Junior Wolf Club for pre-K through sixth grade youngsters will follow the foot-ball team through the tunnel and onto the field at the beginning of the game. Club members will have a chance to have their photo taken with their favorite football player after the game is over.
The game will begin at 7 p.m. Friday in Memorial Stadium, and the Wolves will be looking for a big home crowd to root them on to a victory in their first district game of the season.

Local knitters travel to Taos festival Service project spreads knowledge to studentsJulie A. FerrArO
Dalhart Texan
Last weekend, a number of Dalhart residents with an interest in knitting trav-eled across the state line for a special event.
The Taos Wool Festival took place at Kit Carson Park, bringing together “400 years of wool tradition” with breeders and fiber art-ists from New Mexico, Tex-as and Colorado, according to the Taos website.
Annette Melius not only attended the festival, but entered some of her many projects into the juried competition.
Her angora yarn and natural mixed color al-paca yarn both won first place honors, with the al-paca yarn also scoring the Grand Champion designa-tion among all handspun yarns. Her angora shawl, made of fiber from her own angora rabbits, earned sec-ond place in the garment category.
Sue Cowen also traveled to the festival.
Having an opportunity to watch sheep shearing dem-onstrations were only a part of the event’s draw, with vendors, live music and a regional wool market.
“We all did have a good time,” Annette said.

Students, in a way, are helping students expand their career opportunities at Dal-hart Junior High School.
The students are Sandy Reynolds, one of the Dalhart Junior High secretaries, and Megan Peterson, an emergency medi-cal technician.
Sandy and Megan are students at Frank Phillips College, enrolled in the “Learning Frameworks” course. As their service proj-ect for that class, they decided to share some knowledge with eighth graders at the junior high.
Bryanna Albert, who teaches the Ex-plore Careers class at the junior high, worked with Sandy and Megan to present that information during one of the class periods on Wednesday.
Dalhart Fire Chief Curtis Brown, Dal-hart police officers Corporal Robert Lem-ley and Elyssa Granado, and paramedic Sara Chavira spent time during that pe-riod talking about their careers, and ways for the students to stay safe.
There was even an ungraded quiz at the end of the class, just to see what the stu-dents had retained.
“We want to give the students a better understanding of the different depart-ments in the city” that handle emergen-cies, Megan explained. Also of importance was teaching the students when to call those departments.
The police officers posed a few questions to the students, seeking their insights if a suspicious person was seen in their neighborhood, or might follow them home from school.
The students showed their common sense, with the officers encouraging them – in such situations – to observe the per-son’s clothes, height, hair color and other details, to pass along and aid in any nec-essary investigation.
Responding to questions from the stu-dents, both officers acknowledged they are never bored in their work, with each day being different. Keeping up with fre-quently training, including the changing traffic laws, is key to their jobs, as well.
“We never quit training,” Elyssa said.Brown brought Hope, the six-year-old
dalmation, who made herself at home in the classroom which the fire chief talked about the four levels of firefighter certifi-cation, and how 76 percent of Texas fire departments are staffed by volunteers.
He encouraged students who are inter-ested in becoming firefighters to get their paramedic license first, since that is the
most difficult aspect of the training. Then, a fire science course in college would be followed by attending a firefighting acad-emy.
“It’s a very, very competitive field,” Brown said.
Brown polled the class on their knowl-edge about smoke detectors, when to check the devices, when to change the batteries and when to replace them. He showed off newer types of smoke detec-tors which do not require replacing bat-teries and last for ten years.
Sara Chavira, a paramedic, brought “Fred” the dummy and demonstrated both cardio pulmonary resusciation tech-niques and the Heimlich maneuver. She also spoke about how to stop bleeding using direct pressure.
When the students might need to sum-mon Sara or other paramedics, she noted the main thing is to stay calm. Providing the information “Who you are, where you
are and what’s happening” is vital for the emergency team to be better prepared to handing the situation when they arrive, she added.
The training varies, depending on whether a person wants to be an emer-gency medical technician – basic or ad-vanced – or a paramedic. “I have a degree specific for my job,” Sara said.
As for why she chose her career, Sara echoed the sentiments of the other pre-senters: “I enjoy helping other people.”

Commissioners Court gives nod to projectJulie A. FerrArO
Dalhart Texan
The Dallam County Commissioners Court heard details about a new project in the works during the meeting Tuesday morning.
A public hearing was scheduled on a proposal by the Dallam County Indus-trial Development Corporation to issue $10 million in bonds for an expansion at Morning Star Dairy.
Jason Grubbs, of The Frazier Lanier Company from Birmingham, Alabama, explained that – although Morning Star Dairy is located in Hartley County, both the Hartley County and Dallam County commissioners were being asked to re-view the proposal. The Dallam County IDC handled the matter, because Hartley County does not have a comparable orga-nization.
“This is something we want to see in our area,” said Dallam County Judge Wes Ritchey. “There is no liability for the coun-ty,” but the “stamp of approval” by the commissioners will allow Morning Star Dairy to obtain tax exempt bonds.
John DeVries of Morning Star Dairy outlined the planned expansion. “We’re currently milking 13,000 cows.” The new building will allow the addition of 10,000 more cows.
DeVries estimated the project would be completed within 11 or 12 months.
Ritchey asked how many additional hands would be required to handle the
expanded capacity.DeVries replied that 40 or 50 more em-
ployees would be hired.Morning Star Dairy has mostly jer-
sey cows and sells the milk to Hilmar Cheese.
The commissioners unanimously ap-proved the plan, as had the Hartley County Commissioners Court earlier in the day.
The commissioners also approved a resolution to continue participating in the Texas Indigent Defense Grant Program.
Ritchey noted the program requires the county to provide public defend-ers for indigent individuals. The State of Texas reimburses the county at a rate of approximately 20 percent of the annual costs, meaning Dallam County would see a reimbursement of $20,000 in the com-ing year.
“It’s a point of contention,” Ritchey said, with the Texas Legislature being lobbied to reimburse counties for 100 percent of the costs to defend indigent individuals.
“We’re participated for the last 15 years, since it became a mandatory program,” Ritchey added.
Joined briefly by the Hartley County Commissioners, the group then adjourned to the former Frank Phillips College build-ing for a tour and lunch hosted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
The Extension Service will be using the building for classroom space and stor-age.

During a noontime meet-ing on Tuesday, the Dal-hart City Council handled some agenda items before heading for Fort Worth to attend the Texas Munici-pal League Annual Confer-ence.
One agenda item was tabled: the acceptance of Ward 1 Councilwoman Kerry Miller’s resignation. Kerry passed away Mon-day.
City Manager James Stroud explained the coun-cil has 30 days to appoint
a replacement for the va-cant seat.
Mayor Phillip Hass asked council members Billy Sisco, Tim Yee and Rusty Hancock to serve on a com-mittee to determine recom-mendations, which will be presented at the council’s next regular meeting on October 23.
The council unanimous-ly passed Ordinance 2018-23, which covered a num-ber of budget amendments for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
Those amendments in-clude increases in both
revenue and expenditures. For both the Rita Blanca Lake Fund and the Airport Fund, the revenues and expenditures offset each other. The Rita Blanca Lake Fund saw an increase in revenue of $26,000 and an equal increase in ex-penditures. The Airport Fund’s revenue increase is recorded as $155,240.08, with expenditures match-ing that figure.
The city’s General Fund saw an increase in revenue of $120,000, with the bud-get amendment noting ad-ditional expenditures for the fiscal year of nearly $1.3 million.
The Water and Sewer Fund’s revenue increase was $75,000, with expen-ditures of more than $2.6 million included in the or-dinance.
“It’s nice to have a bal-anced budget and still have money,” Hass said.
After a closed executive session to deliberate an undisclosed real property matter, the council voted to authorize Stroud to take action as necessary.
