The first Dalhart Wolves Woof Walk was held Sat-urday Sept. 23 at the XIT Rodeo Arena stage area and park. The event was a success as many people and their best friends came to walk around the park, enter contests, and make new friends.
The event began at 8 am with participant registra-tion and packet pick-up. Participants who had pre-registered picked up a packet that included a Woof Walk t-shirt, doggie bandana, and doggie goodie bag. Those who registered Saturday morning picked up everything but the t-shirt, which they will receive
later this week after it has been ordered. There were also plenty of refreshments available for both the hu-man walkers and lots of water for the canine walk-ers.
The walk itself began at 9 am as participants and their best friends walked through the park. The walk was originally scheduled to last an hour, but most participants stopped after one lap around the park and gathered back at the stage area.
After most of the participants had gathered back near the stage area, they had the opportunity to en-

Dalhart High School will celebrate homecoming this Friday night as they play the Friona Chieftains. The high school and other Dalhart ISD campuses started homecoming activities yesterday and will continue them all week as they build up to the game.
One of the big events is the parade, which will be held tonight at 7 pm. The parade will be on 16th Street. It will start at United Supermarket and the elementary, and head east down 16th Street to Me-morial Stadium.
After the parade a $2 donation hot dog meal will be available from the Golden Wolf Band in the stadium parking lot. The Pack Moms wanted to help the band raise money for their trip to Washington, D.C. next May for the National Memorial Day Parade, so they helped set up the hot dog meal for the band. Anyone donating two dollars will get two hot dogs, chips, a drink, and a dessert.
All four of the campuses are also holding dress-up days this week in honor of homecoming. At Dalhart Elementary, Monday was Pajama Day, today is Cam-ouflage Day, and Wednesday is Jersey Day. Thurs-day is Class Color Day, so Head Start and Pre-K wear purple, Kindergarten wears white, first grade wears blue, and second grade wears red. Friday is Spirit Day, so everyone should wear purple and gold.
At the Intermediate School, yesterday was Mus-tache Day, today is Twin Day, and Wednesday is Wacky Clothes Day. On Thursday kids can dress up in clothes from different decades, such as the 20s, 30, 40s, etc. Friday is Spirit Day, so students should

By SHANNoN ToMPKiNSHouston Chronicle
There’s more than Texas braggadocio behind the com-monly heard pronouncement that “there’s no such thing as a bad year for hunting in Texas. They’re all good; some are just better than others.”
Texas’ 1.5 million or so hunters know that’s not hubris.This state holds the largest herd of white-tailed deer
in the nation, the most wild turkeys, the most mourning doves and white-winged doves and more wild quail than perhaps the rest of the nation combined.
We winter the bulk of the waterfowl that use North American’s Central Flyway. Heck, 70 percent or so of the continent’s redhead ducks winter in Texas, most of them in the shallow bays of the middle and lower coast.
Then there’s out 3 million or more feral hogs, a half-mil-lion alligators, 1,000 or so desert bighorn sheep, pheas-ants in the Panhandle, snipe on the coastal prairies, woodcock in East Texas Pineywoods ... you get the idea.
Even “bad” years, when weather or other forces conspire to either knock back game populations or limit hunters’ access to hunting areas, see Texans enjoy some of the most productive hunting in the nation.
This year’s not looking to be a “good” year. It’s shaping up to be better than that.
A look at the status of some of the most popular game animals and fowl illustrates what Texas hunters could see this autumn.
WHiTe-TAiLeD DeeRTexas deer herd has been on a roll since 2013, when a
decade-long drought that had stressed deer body condi-tion and produced below average fawn production and survival broke. Except for scattered losses of deer in some East Texas river bottoms from record-setting flooding dur-ing two of the past three years, Texas whitetails have en-joyed stable or growing populations. Several consecutive wet years combined with relatively mild winters produced outstanding habitat conditions in much of the state, ben-efitting fawn production and antler development.
This year has been another very good one for whitetails across most of the state. Good spring and summer habi-tat conditions, thanks to generally “normal” rains across the state benefited antler development, body condition and fawn production and survival. There’s lot of deer out there -- more than 3.5 million. The 2017-18 whitetail hunting seasons, which begin with the Sept. 30 opening of the statewide archery-only season, could be something special.
DoVeS AND quAiLThe state’s premier upland game birds, like white-tail
deer, enjoyed another good year of salubrious habitat conditions across most of their range.
Texas’ resident dove population -- 30 million or so mourning doves and about 10 million whitewings -- is, right now, being reinforced by several million mourning doves migrating into the state from up the Central Fly-
way. The regular dove season in Texas South Zone, which covers the lower third of the state and produces an out-sized percentage of the state’s dove harvest, opened Sept. 22, and it should be another world-class season for wing-shooters.
Texas’ quail and quail hunters continue on what is now a four-year winning streak. Thanks to timely, abundant rainfall, bearable winters and mild, even cool, springs across most of bobwhite quails’ Texas range over the past four years, the iconic upland game birds have boomed. This past year, the Texas Rolling Plains region had its best quail population -- and best quail hunting -- in more than a human generation. The South Texas,Plains and Brush Country, bobwhites’ other Texas stronghold, also had a very good year.
This year should be better in South Texas and only slightly less great in the Rolling Plains. Anecdotal assess-ments of quail numbers over the past month indicate the Rolling Plains quail prospects for the coming season rank a 6-8 on a 1-10 scale. That’s down from 2016’s off-the-charts quail season, but the second-best than most quail hunters younger than 50 have seen in their careers. South Texas looks like a 7-9. And a South Texas “7” is world-class.
WATeRfoWLHurricane Harvey makes waterfowl the wild card for
Texas’ 2017-18 hunting seasons.The late-August storm and the record-setting rainfall
and flooding it produced swamped much of Texas’ coastal marshes and prairies, the state’s premier waterfowl win-tering habitat. This could prove a blessing or a curse, de-pending on that water’s effects on that habitat.
Ahead of Harvey, most of Texas’ waterfowl habitat was in outstanding condition, thanks to timely, abundant rains that kept marshes fresh enough and wet enough to produce wigeongrass and other duck-attracting aquatic vegetation that grows best in water with low or no salin-ity.
Those same rains helped prairie wetlands blossom with aquatic and moist-soil vegetation such as smartweed and duck potato.
Whether Harvey’s flooding helps or hinders production of the forage wintering ducks require and, because of the abundance of water, scatters birds across the landscape instead of concentrating them will prove major factors in how this duck and goose season plays out.
Texas waterfowlers will learn the answer in coming weeks, as some of the millions of ducks and geese migrat-ing down the Central Flyway begin arriving in Texas. And there are a lot of them on the way.
Spring and early summer surveys on ducks’ northern nesting grounds indicate a population index 34 percent above the 1955-2016 average. Almost all species and populations of geese that winter in Texas -- mid-conti-nent snow geese, greater white-fronted gees, particularly -- also showed increases, with all populations expanding over the past 10 years.

Texas Comptroller announces record $281 million in unclaimed property returns
Looking for feral hog hunters! Come hunt with us...
The Texas Comptroller’s office returned a record $281 million in unclaimed property to its right-ful owners during the past fiscal year, Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced today.
The total breaks the previous record of $270 mil-lion returned in fiscal 2016 and marks the fifth con-secutive record-breaking year.
“Each year we make a commitment to reunite un-claimed property with its rightful owners, and this record underlines that commitment,” Hegar said. “I encourage all Texans to visit ClaimItTexas.org to see if the state is holding some of their unclaimed property.”
The Comptroller’s office has returned more than $2 billion to its rightful owners since Texas’ un-claimed property program began in 1962. The state is currently holding more than $4 billion in cash and other valuables.
The $281 million in unclaimed property returned in fiscal 2017 includes forgotten utility deposits or other refunds, insurance proceeds, payroll checks, cashier’s checks, dividends, mineral royalties, dor-mant bank accounts and abandoned safe-deposit box contents. Businesses generally turn property over to the unclaimed property program after it has been considered dormant for one to five years.
There is no statute of limitations for unclaimed property the state holds, which means there’s no time limit for owners to file a claim — they can do so at any time.
For more information about the unclaimed prop-erty program, or to search for unclaimed property and begin the claims process, visit the Comptrol-ler’s unclaimed property website, ClaimItTexas.org, or call 800-321-CASH (2274).
Nov. 3rd –Nov.9th 2017. Did you know that predatory animals cause $800M in land damages?
The Major League Wildlife Unlimited Association www.wildlifemembership.org a non-profit organization based in the West Texas area, announced today it is devising a plan to control predatory animals such as feral hogs, coyotes and foxes and other animals that damage our ecosystem.
Through competitive contest hunts (with numerous prizes) spokesman Lee Browning hopes to preserve natural wildlife habitats while shrinking the population
of predatory and nuisance animals. Feral hogs, coyotes and fox cause millions of dollars worth of damage to crops, cause water loss quality due to erosion, destruc-tion of landscape and spread diseases to domestic ani-mals, livestock and deer. The predators prey on nesting birds, small livestock and reptiles, which impact the ecosystem of our area.
Join us today to be eligible for numerous prizes, raffle drawings and lottery drawings. Visit www.wildlifemem-bership.org or contact Lee Browning 806-729-7894 or Bruce Williams 806-239-0006.

Only those who had paid the entry fee were given the chance to win one of the contests, and the winner of each contest received a prize. A dog named Leonardo won the Ug-liest Dog contest and Tristan won the Dog/Owner Look-a-like contest.
A poodle named Romeo, who was dressed as a Dalhart Golden Wolves football player, won the Best Costume contest. Lexy won the Best Singer contest as she answered with a series of barks when asked to say “I love you.” The Best Trick contest was won by Jersey, who fell down and played dead after his owner made her hand into a gun and said “bang!”

ter in students in secondary schools. Potential mem-bers of NHS are evaluated in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
In order to be eligible for NHS at Dalhart High, stu-dents must have at least a 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Those who meet that requirement have the opportu-nity to fill out information forms about their extra-curricular activities, community service, leadership positions, and work experience. A council of faculty members then reviews the information and makes the final decision about membership. Only those students who meet the qualities of leadership, service, charac-ter, and scholarship are accepted for membership.
Erin Nutter, the current NHS president at Dalhart High, opened the induction ceremony with a short welcome speech and invocation. Faith Lindsay, the senior representative to the NHS officers, then led the audience in the pledges to the U.S. and Texas flags and introduced high school counselor Christy Dovel, assistant principal Jeff Hutton, Principal Kevin Doug-
las, and Superintendent John Massey, who were spe-cial guests at the ceremony.
A special candle ceremony was held next. Each of the four NHS officers lit a candle and read a descrip-tion of one of the four criteria for membership. After the candle ceremony, Nutter led the new inductees in the NHS Pledge.
Kim Sorrels, the NHS adviser, then introduced the inductees as they were presented their membership certificates and cards. Sorrels then also introduced the current members of the Dalhart High Chapter of NHS. Douglas followed that with a few closing remarks, af-ter which a reception was held for the members and friends and family.
Current members of NHS, who were inducted last year, are Nutter, Kullen Sorrels, Lyndsey Dovel, Sa-vanna Watson, Faith Lindsay, Sidney Fahnert, Danira Garcia, Halle Holiski, Sarah McDaniel, Delia Salinas, and Emma Schartz. Kullen Sorrels is vice president, Dovel is secretary, and Watson is treasurer.

Golden Wolves stumble against Vernon
Lady Wolves open district with loss to Bushland
by bill KellyEditor
The Dalhart Golden Wolves took a road trip of over five hours as they trav-eled to Vernon to play the Lions on Fri-day Sept. 22. It was an even longer ride home as the Wolves suffered their worst loss of the season. Vernon won the game 46-7.
The Wolves had trouble right from the beginning as they fumbled the open-ing kickoff, giving Vernon great field position to start the game. The defense stepped up however, sacking the Lions’ quarterback on fourth down to take the ball back.
Dalhart then put together a very good
drive. Darwin Alvarez did much of the work on the drive. After a loss on first down, quarterback Ryan Bornemeier completed a nine-yard pass to Alvarez, followed by an Alvarez run for a first down. Bornemeier then kept the ball for a 12-yard run of his own, followed by an eight-yard run by LaDaryl Smith.
Vernon intercepted the ball two plays later, but was called for a penalty that gave the Wolves the ball on the Lions’ 14-yard line. Four plays later Alvarez ran the ball in from eight yards out for a touchdown. The extra point by Emman-uel Pino was good, and Dalhart took an

The Dalhart Lady Wolves began dis-trict play at home on Saturday Sept. 23 against the defending Class 4A state champions as they played against Bushland. The Lady Falcons showed why they won state last year as they swept Dalhart in three straight games.
The Lady Falcons took control of the first game early, scoring the first six points before the Lady Wolves got on the board. Dalhart eventually cut the lead to four points at 7-3, but that would be as close as they would get. The Lady Falcons won the first game of the match 25-11.
The second game of the match would be similar. Bushland scored four straight points to start off that game, and then expanded their lead to 8-1. The Lady Falcons would win the second game by a score of 25-9.
The Lady Wolves came back and made the third game much closer. The game
was tied 7-7 early on, and then the Lady Falcons were able to slowly build up until they had a 12-9 lead.
Bushland was able to keep a three or four point lead through most of the third game. Bushland had a 16-12 lead, and then Dalhart would close it to 16-13. The Lady Wolves got as close as two points when Bushland held a 17-15 lead, but they would get no closer. The Lady Falcons won the third game by a score of 25-19, which gave them the match 3-0.
Brittany Johnson led Dalhart in kills with four, while Sidney Fahnert and Mi-kah Barton each had three. Fahnert had two blocks while Barton and Savannah Renshaw each had one block. Konner White led the team with nine digs, while Savanna Watson and Anzleigh Swecker added five digs each. Watson and Madi-son Todd each had one ace during the match.

early 7-0 lead.That would turn out to be the only touchdown of
the night for Dalhart. The Vernon quarterback ran the ball in for a touchdown six plays after receiving the kickoff, and the two-point conversion gave the Lions an 8-7 lead, which is how the scoreboard looked at the end of the first quarter.
Things snowballed for the Wolves from there. Ver-non scored two more touchdowns with two-point con-versions in the second quarter to take a 24-7 lead at halftime. Two more touchdowns and conversions in the third quarter added 16 points for Vernon, and a
final touchdown in the fourth quarter added six more points. Vernon won the game by a final score of 46-7.
The Lions were able to shut down the Dalhart of-fense, only allowing 154 net yards on the ground and 35 yards through the air, for a total of 189 yards. Vernon racked up 504 total yards, including 341 net yards rushing. Mistakes also cost the Wolves, as they gave up three fumbles during the game.
Dalhart will look to rebound against Friona this Fri-day as they return home and celebrate homecoming. They will be looking for a packed house to help them get back into the win column.

Weekly Crossword Puzzle
Answer to September 22 sudoku
Weekly horoscope
ARieS - MAR 21/APR 20Aries, when an
opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance.
TAuRuS - APR 21/MAy 21Many things around
the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.
geMiNi - MAy 22/JuN 21Gemini, make a
concerted and sincere effort to focus on family for the next few days. It’s time to reconnect with everyone in the house, and you will enjoy the time at home.
CANCeR - JuN 22/JuL 22Cancer, slow down
a little because moving faster will not get the job done right. It may only lead to sloppy mistakes that will take even more time to handle.
Leo - JuL 23/Aug 23It can be challenging
to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.
ViRgo - Aug 24/SePT 22Risk can sometimes
have a large payoff, Virgo. Just make sure you time your jump right or you could miss an opportunity to really shine.
LiBRA - SePT 23/oCT 23Libra, if you push
yourself a little harder this week, you will be happy with the results. Even though it may be an uphill battle, the summit will look pretty nice.
SCoRPio - oCT 24/NoV 22Scorpio, just when
you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.
SAgiTTARiuS - NoV 23/DeC 21
Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.
CAPRiCoRN - DeC 22/JAN 20
Capricorn, even if you take some time off from work, things will go on as planned. Although you are a key member of the team, others can temporarily fill your shoes.
AquARiuS - JAN 21/feB 18
Sometimes the things that require the most work are the ones that you enjoy the most, Aquarius. Dig in deep on a new project and the rewards will come afterward.
PiSCeS - feB 19/MAR 20A few things still need
to be sorted out, Pisces. Then you can put your feet up for the time being. Gemini has something to say this week.
