A former Donley County pro-ducer was honored by the National Peanut Board recently by making a donation in the name of the late Bob White to help establish the Chil-dren’s Healthcare of Atlanta at the Emory Food Allergy Center.

White was the former chairman of the National Peanut Board. He passed away in October 2016.

“Like other peanut farmers, Bob White took great pride in grow-ing a nutritious and wholesome food,” said NPB President and CEO Bob Parker. “That anyone could be harmed by eating the product he grew bothered him. During his tenure on the National Peanut Board, Bob embraced efforts to fi nd ways to prevent, treat and fi nd a cure for peanut allergy. He would have been excited to know that NPB played a role in bringing a food allergy research center to a prestigious insti-tution like Emory University,” said Parker.

Panhandle Peanut Growers Pro-ducers President Michael Newhouse of Clarendon also praised White’s contributions to the industry.

“There are big boots to fi ll that Bob left behind,” Newhouse said. “A lot of folks don’t even know what Bob did for the peanut industry on a national and international level. He had a way of bringing people together even when they disagreed, and he always did what was best for

the industry and not just what was best for his personal farm.”

On a local level, Newhouse said White had served as a mentor to himself and also to other younger farmers.

Many NPB staff, former board members and Texas peanut leaders attended the event in Atlanta along with White’s wife, Pat, and daughter, Mandi Gay.

“I want to thank you for honor-ing my dad,” Gay wrote in a Face-book post. “I am so grateful to know that my parents were a part of such a wonderful group of people. Thank you for allowing us to be there. I am so glad I got to meet all of you and hear some of the stories from your times together. I know my mom will cherish them always.”

The new food allergy program

addresses an important problem that was close to White’s heart.

“There’s a huge gap in the Southern U.S. without a world-class food allergy and treatment center,” Parker said. “Georgia being the larg-est producer of peanuts, it’s fi tting that a world-class university like Emory has started this program here and brought in solid leadership in Dr.

Brian Vickery.”Dr. Vickery has worked on

groundbreaking food allergy research at Duke University and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. He has exceptional qualifi ca-tions for patient-centered care and advancing research. Dr. Vickery acknowledged NPB’s contribution to the Center in memory of Bob White.

Kenneth Overstreet and Tanya Word, both of Clarendon, were the top men’s and women’s fi nishers of the sixth annual Chance Mark Jones Roar & Run 5K last Saturday, April 14, at Clarendon College.

Overstreet, age 16, was the fi rst to cross the fi nish line with a time of 20:42, giving him the best overall time, the best men’s time, and best time for those ages 11-19.

Word, age 46, ran the race in 24 minutes, 15 seconds, fi nishing before all other women and winning the 40-49 age group.

The race sponsored by the Clarendon Lions Club in conjunc-tion with National Child Abuse Awareness Month, drew more than 80 registrations, but high winds and cold temperatures kept many people indoors Saturday. Thirty-fi ve people actually ran or walked the 5K the day of the event, which was also attended by several spectators, sup-porters, and workers.

The annual Roar & Run 5K is held to raise awareness of child abuse and to honor the life of four-year-old Chance Mark Jones, who

died in 2011.Complete results were: Top

Men’s Time – Kenneth Overstreet 20:42; Top Women’s Time – Tanya Word 24:15; 10 and under – 1st Kutter O’Keefe 37:45; Ages 11-19 – 1st Overstreet, 2nd Bryce Williams 24:35, 3rd Lillie Dale 25:02; Ages 20-29 – 1st Karissa Huffman 25:00, Marilyn Brandt 36:00, and 3rd Bryce McCary 44:21; Ages 30-39 – 1st Tony Dale 25:03, Charles Huffman 31:04, 3rd Andrew Brown 37:43; Ages 40-49 – 1st Word, 2nd Michelle Branigan 32:52, 3rd Scar-

let Estlack 51:25; Ages 50-59 – 1st Shaun O’Keefe 45:09, P.J. O’Keefe 47:77, 3rd Nancy Kidd 49:42; and Ages 60-69 – 1st Martha Smith 43:27.

Proceeds from this year’s 5K will help support the Clarendon Water Recreation Project and will also support the annual charitable activities of the Clarendon Lions Club, including eyeglasses for local school kids, Christmas food baskets for local families, scholarships, and hosting the area offi ce of The Bridge – Children’s Advocacy Center.

CC to stage ‘Clean’ play on April 19-20

Clarendon College The-atre Department invites all audi-ences to the new original short play “Clean” by CC’s own Dr. Rodney Donahue on Thursday, April 19, and Friday, April 20, in the Harned Sisters Fine Arts Center. Doors open at 6:35; the play begins promptly at 7:00 p.m.

“Clean” is an original comedy about the opportunities life offers us. In the play, Tammy, a human resources manager, hates her boss. During a seemingly typi-cal workday for Tammy, things become atypical when she learns she is interviewing a hitman for a position in the company who happens to have an interesting alternative to her situation with her boss.

“Clean” asks us what it means to judge others and how we clean both our messes and our consciences. The play is suitable fo r audience members of every age.

Aldermen approve new debt

Clarendon’s plans to improve its water system took another important step forward last Thursday, April 12, when the city council approved issuing $2.522 million in certifi cates of obliga-tion.

The new debt, which has been planned and discussed for several months, is part of a USDA-backed fi nancing plan and is in addition to $1.387 million in grants funds from the ag department. A $10 per meter charge that is already being collected will pay for the loan over a 40-year period.

City Administrator David Dockery reported that 46 sets of plans are out right now to contrac-tors, and the city expects to open bids early next month and award contracts by June 15.

The project will replace about six miles of water lines, install new auto-read water meters throughout the city, and erect a new elevated storage tank on the east side of Clarendon.

In other city business, alder-men discussed ongoing efforts to clean up properties and spe-cifi cally praised work that demol-ished a house in the 100 block of west Fifth Street.

Dockery said the city is actively looking at other proper-ties that are tax delinquent and candidates for condemnation.

Early voting for CC board starts Apr. 23

Early voting begins Monday in this year’s Clarendon College District election.

Donley County voters will cast ballots to elect three members to the Clarendon College Board of Regents. On the ballot are incum-bents Edwin Campbell and Jerry Woodard and challengers Lance Wood and Tommy Waldrop, and the top three vote earners will be elected.

Early voting for the col-lege election will be conducted at the Clerk’s Offi ce in the Donley County Courthouse Annex from April 23 through May 3 during regular business hours.

Election Day will be Satur-day, May 5, 2018.

Howardwick City Hall reported Tuesday that it is not conducting early voting this year for that city’s regular and special elections because early voting was not part of the Order of Election approved by the Donley County Commissioners’ Court. All voting for the fi ve positions on the How-ardwick City Council will take place on Saturday, May 5, at City Hall.

A Monday grass fi re near Hedley destroyed an abandoned trailer house and other structures west of Hedley.

Clarendon Fire Chief Jeremy Powell said the grass fi re was reported east of County Road 23 at 4:20 p.m. The blaze started off of US 287 and moved north northeast.

The fi re was stopped at the rail-road tracks, but the trailer house and some out buildings were lost, Powell reported. The BNSF railway was also shut down for a short time.

Hedley, Clarendon, and Mem-phis volunteer fi re departments responded along with Donley County motor graders from pre-cincts 1, 3, and 4. Donley and Hall county sheriff’s departments and DPS Troopers provided traffi c con-

trol, and the Associated Ambulance Authority also responded.

Local and area volunteer fi re-men have been kept extremely busy lately as persistent drought, low humidity, and high winds have cre-ated critically dangerous conditions for wildfi res.

In addition to responding to fi res near Samnorwood and Welling-ton in the last week, Clarendon fi re-men were back in the Ashtola area last Wednesday, April 11, just one day after a fi re in that community burned 10-15 acres and destroyed the 1930s era school building there.

Powell said the Wednesday fi re started about 3:20 p.m. in the median of US 287 before it moved north and east and consumed 142 acres. Three homes were threatened by the second

Ashtola fi re, but none were lost. Traffi c on the railroad and US

287 was closed for a short time.Assisting Clarendon fi remen

with the blaze were departments from Hedley, Howardwick, and Memphis as well as county motor graders, local EMS, TxDOT, and the Donley County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Even with rain in this week’s forecast, fi re conditions remain exceedingly high in much of the Pan-handle and South Plains, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

With elevated fi re danger, cau-tion should be used with any outdoor activity that may cause a spark. It only takes one spark to start a wild-fi re. Some tips to keep in mind are these:

Postpone outdoor burning until

City sales tax rises for month of April

The City of Clarendon posted its third month of sales tax growth for 2018 when Texas Comptrol-ler Glenn Hegar distributed April allocations last week.

The city’s revenue of $25,993.25 refl ected an 8.96 per-cent increase over the April 2017 allocation. Clarendon’s year-to-date sales tax revenue now stands at $126,404.81, which is up 6.2 percent over the same period last year.

Hedley was also up for the month with revenue of $831.49, more than doubling its sales tax revenue for the same time last year, which was $369.92. That city is now up 45.36 percent for the year at $3,251.63.

Howardwick’s revenue dropped 32.13 percent for April to $1,057.17, but the lakeside city’s year-to-date total is still ahead of this point last year, up 20.19 per-cent at $4,477.82.

Statewide, the comptroller distributed $651 million in local sales tax allocations for April, fi ve percent more than in April 2017.

April allocations are based on sales made in February by businesses that report tax monthly.

Project underway to improve US 287

CHILDRESS – A $1.2 mil-lion Texas Department of Trans-portation (TxDOT) project began on US 287 in Donley County on April 9.

This project will consist of adding deceleration lanes and crossovers in various locations from the Armstrong county line south east to Clarendon and from the Clarendon county line east to Hedley.

Motorists can expect day time lane closures only with some side streets closed in work loca-tions. Contractor for this project is Gilvin-Terrell, LTD of Amarillo. Work is expected to be complete in four months, weather permit-ting.

conditions improve.Avoid parking and idling in tall,

dry grass. Catalytic converters can get hot enough to ignite the grass under a vehicle.

Avoid setting hot chainsaws or other hot, gas-powered equipment in

dry grass. Wildfi res burning in grass can

spread and grow extremely fast. It is important that if you spot a wildfi re you report it immediately to local authorities. A quick response can help save lives and property.

2 OPINION The Clarendon Enterprise • April 19, 2018

Time to lookat president’s war powersBy Gene Healy and John Glaser, Cato Institute

On Monday, two days after President Trump declared “Mission Accomplished” on the latest round of missile strikes against Syria, a bipartisan group of senators unveiled legislation intended to reassert Congress’s relevance to the wars we fi ght. But the new Authorization for the Use of Military Force, introduced by Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, and the Dem-ocrat Tim Kaine, may end up doing the opposite.

Senator Kaine is right that, as he said in a speech about the bill, “for too long Congress has given presi-dents a blank check to wage war.” The 2001 authoriza-tion, passed three days after the Sept. 11 attacks and aimed at the perpetrators of those attacks, has done just that. Three presidents in a row have warped its limited authority into an enabling act for globe-span-ning presidential war.

The Corker-Kaine resolution won’t bring an end to the Forever War; it will institutionalize it. Instead of ratifying war powers that three presidents in a row have seized illegally, Congress should repeal – and not replace – the 2001 legislation.

In authorizing the use of force against a list of terrorist organizations and their affi liates, the bill states that it “establishes rigorous congressional over-sight,” “improves transparency” and ensures “regular congressional review and debate.” Such transparency requirements are an improvement over the status quo. But the bill also turns the constitutional warmaking process upside down.

Our Constitution was designed to make war diffi cult, requiring the assent of both houses and the president. The bill essentially changes that by merely requiring “regular congressional review” of presiden-tial warmaking and requires reauthorization every four years; meanwhile, choosing new enemies, in new countries, is the president’s call, unless Congress can assemble a veto-proof majority to check him.

The legislation concurs with the argument asserted by Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and now Donald Trump that the war on terror has “evolved”; as the draft authorization announces in its preamble: “Numerous nonstate actors” now “pose a grave threat to the United States.” For both the White House and Senators Corker and Kaine, this justifi es giving the president new warmaking powers, with Congress taking a back seat.

And yet if the past 17 years have taught us any-thing, it’s that far from being an existential menace, in most cases terrorism is a manageable threat: Since Sept. 11, an American’s chance of being killed in the United States by a terrorist is about one in 40 million. And the groups that Corker-Kaine authorizes war with – the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Islamic State – do not pose a grave threat to our country now, if they ever did.

All three are either contained or decimated; why Mr. Trump and future presidents need a perpetually renewable authorization to fi ght them is not clear. Still less do they need continuing authority to wage war against Al Shabab in Somalia or the Haqqani Network in Afghanistan, among other groups explicitly named in the Corker-Kaine bill.

Instead, Congress should declare that the pur-poses of the 2001 authorization have been fulfi lled and that it has run its constitutionally justifi ed course.

This “repeal, don’t replace” option wouldn’t leave the executive branch legally hamstrung should any of these groups, or others, become a genuine threat. The president would still retain independent constitutional power to “repel sudden attacks” in case of an imminent threat. Should Mr. Trump decide that Al Shabab, for example, represents a serious, long-term danger to our national security, he is free to make that case to the people’s representatives and secure authorization for war.

As we have painfully learned, war often spawns new threats. The Islamic State had its origins in the Sunni insurgency that rose to fi ght American forces in Iraq. As early as 2006, the National Intelligence Estimate on Trends in Global Terrorism found that the Iraq war had “become the ‘cause celebre’ for jihad-ists, breeding a deep resentment of U.S. involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement.” In the seven countries that the United States either invaded or bombed since Sept. 11, the number of individual terrorist attacks rose by an astonishing 1,900 percent from 2001 to 2015. If anything, open-ended war in the Middle East has made us less safe, not more.

Presidential war undermines fundamental values of our representative democracy. “In no part of the constitution,” James Madison wrote in 1793, “is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confi des the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department” – were it otherwise, “the trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man.”

Not long ago, Senator Corker, who is retiring this fall, publicly agonized that President Trump’s “volatility” could put America “on the path to World War III.” And yet, for some unfathomable reason, as his legacy project, Mr. Corker has advanced a measure that empowers one abundantly fl awed human being to wage war practically at will. The rise of Mr. Trump, if nothing else, should crystallize the imperative to con-strain the imperial presidency.

Gene Healy is a vice president at the Cato Institute, where John Glaser is director of foreign policy studies.

Songs are often slathered in over-simplifi cation. We’ve generally gone along with the musical proclamation that our smiles trigger the rest of the world to smile with us.

Wait a minute. The world ignores, remaining ambivalent, whether we’re smiling or not.

This is not to say there is not value in smiles; they are worthwhile if they do nothing more than brighten a few lives in our own little world. Even slight grins help, and they buy a few seconds while we’re trying to think what to say next….

*****Such instruction is helpful to

grandparents. A current example is pro-vided by Dr. Lanny Hall, Chancellor of Hardin-Simmons University. A while back, he told his 12-year-old grand-daughter a joke that would result in her aisle-rolling.

The chiseled-in-stone expression on Ada McCutchen’s face didn’t change, however. Dr. Hall asked if she thought it was funny. Bad idea! Her blank face “spoke” boldly, clearly indicating a “zero” response on her applause meter. He should have known it was an in-your-face response, better than pie-in-the-face, but just barely.

“You know what I think is funny, Poppy? That you think you’re funny.”…

*****Surely there are throngs of grand-

parents who’ve “been-there, done-that.”I cringed a couple of years ago

when my then nine-year-old grand-daughter asked my age. “78,” I answered.

“Did you start at one?” she wanted to know….

*****

Ordinary people often reach pinnacles of success by clinging always to optimism, even when dealt bad hands.

I never knew a more consistent optimist and effective pastor than the late Rev. Miller Robinson, a beloved West Texas pastor who “forged on” despite the constant pain of rheumatoid arthritis during most of his adult life.

Doctors at Temple’s Scott and White Hospital diagnosed the terrible disease when he was in his late 20s. “I’m afraid you’ve got the ‘honky-tonk’ disease,” one doctor said. “You’ll wake up every morning with pain in a different joint.”…

*****Who knows? Robinson may have

“reconstructed” the wording slightly. Whatever, he enjoyed telling the story in sermons and at banquet lecterns. He was blessed with both “wit and wisdom.” His subtle smile always added to his upbeat nature.

He was never visibly preoccupied with his own health issues. Instead, Rob-inson was all about “thee and thine,” and never “me and mine.”

The pastor had a clever response when grateful folks at Snyder’s Colonial Hill Baptist Church gave him and wife Sandra the parsonage during his 32-year ministry there. He lamented that he had little time to properly thank them. “I

have to hurry on down to the courthouse to make sure the home isn’t valued too high on the tax rolls,” he said….

*****Part of the appeal of southern

gospel quartets is their apparent happi-ness, despite their inescapable challenge of travelling long distances between concerts. They, too, are augmented by laughter, smiles and funny stories between songs.

They had a twin-bill of quartets a while back in Cleburne. On stage were The Blackwood Brothers, now “at it” for 84 years, and The Inspirationals, a family that started back in the 1950s.

“In the early going, we were travel-ling in vans while the ‘higher rollers’ were in fancy big rigs,” said Bob Wills, long identifi ed with The Inspiration-als….

*****They learned that a bus would be

offered at an auction.It was a “junker,” but better than

their old vans. The Inspirationals made a modest bid. It was the only one, so the auctioneer took it off the block, moving on to other items. Wills, noticing the bus’s diesel engine was left running, feared this could cause great damage. So, he turned off the diesel switch.

As the group was leaving, the auc-tioneer invited the men to return. “The old engine has stopped and it won’t start. If you guys want the old bus, you can have it for free.” They did, and it served them for several years….

On April 21st, 1836, Sam Hous-ton’s army defeated Santa Anna’s army at the battle of San Jacinto, giving Texas its independence from Mexico.

“Santa Anna and his men were mostly sleeping,” says Boyd Harris, lead interpreter at the San Jacinto Battle-ground State Historic Site near Houston. “They had spent the entire night before building fortifi cations to protect their camp and had worked through the next day. Around 3 o’clock in the afternoon Santa Anna ordered his men to stand down, so they were all lying down taking a siesta. Unfortunately for them that’s also the time Sam Houston decided he wanted to attack.”

More than 600 Mexican soldiers were killed. Many more were wounded. Only nine Texans perished. The Texans were anxious to avenge the massacres that occurred at the Alamo and Goliad.

The battleground is 20 miles east of downtown Houston near the town of La Porte. It is on 1,200 acres and is the original site of the Texas encampment during the battle. The park is a National Historic Landmark. Every April 21st it’s the site of a re-enactment of the famous

battle. Usu-ally about 15,000 people attend.

“April 21st is on Saturday this year, so we’ll have a festival and a re-enactment that day from 10 AM until 5 PM. The main battle re-enactment will happen at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and we invite everybody to come out and see it. If you want to come out for the festival I recommend getting there early because parking fi lls up fast.”

Along with the re-enactment, his-torians tell of events leading up to the battle.

“Nine hundred and thirty Texan soldiers were in the Texas Army. The Mexican Army had about 1,200 soldiers. It’s one of the shortest battles in history, lasting only about 18 minutes. Our re-enactment has roughly about a hundred plus re-enactors.”

There is a lot of history at the site.

“We do programs on history, sure. But there are all kinds of things to do here. We have walking tours, riding tours; we have fi shing and birding pro-grams. The Battleship Texas is nearby in its own state park. We work with those folks over there and they give tours of the battleship as well as other programs.”

The impressive San Jacinto monu-ment is near the battlefi eld.

“The San Jacinto museum of his-tory operates inside the monument. Visi-tors can watch a 35-minute fi lm. There’s an elevator that takes you to the top of the monument. Construction on it began in 1936 to celebrate the Texas Centen-nial.

“It was completed in 1939. The Works Progress Administration provided workers. This was during the depres-sion years, but money poured in. The Texas Centennial was a big celebration all across the state. The monument is over 570 feet, 12 feet taller than the Washington Monument. It is the tallest standing column in the world. It was built to honor the soldiers who defeated Santa Anna.”

How about we all give smiles a try

Thornberry issues statement on failure of balanced budget amendment act

WASHINGTON - U.S. Con-gressman Mac Thornberry (R-Clar-endon) released a statement after the House failed to pass H.J. Res. 2, the “Balanced Budget Amendment” (BBA) last week.

“I have always supported a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution and was glad to do so again today,” Thornberry said. “Unfortunately, it did not get the two-thirds vote required for passage.

“But Congress and the Presi-dent still need to work toward getting our fi scal home in order. About 70 percent of federal spending is man-datory programs and interest pay-ments. Controlling that is the key to a balanced budget.

“At the same time we need to prioritize spending. The fi rst job of the federal government is to protect the nation. Yet, only 15 percent of the budget goes toward national defense. We need to put fi rst things fi rst.”

The BBA would require the Federal government to maintain a balanced budget and would require both chambers to reach a three-fi fths roll call vote in order to allow excess spending.

Congressman Thornberry was a cosponsor of H.J. Res. 2, the “Bal-anced Budget Amendment.”

Last Saturday was our annual Chance Mark Jones 5K, which is a race that is fi ve kilometers long or about 3.1 miles long. The reason we do it is to help stop things from happening like what happened to Chance, specifi cally child abuse.

Me and my cousin Nathan and my friend Bryce Williams ran the 5K this year. Bryce got second in our age group, Nathan got sixth, and I got seventh. Bryce also got third

overall.The race

goes around town from the Bairfi eld center at the college to downtown to the park and then back up to the college. This year it was freezing and the wind was blowing

hard, so many people weren’t there. But there was some of us that still did it because it’s for a good cause.

This year the Sandell did a showing of the movie “I Can Only Imagine;” and if you wore your 5K shirt, you got fi ve percent off at the concession stand, and I think that’s nice.

I’m really looking forward to next year’s race, and I hope Bryce gets fi rst next year.

The Clarendon Lions Club held its regular Tuesday noon meet-ing April 17, 2018, with Boss Lion Robert Riza in charge.

We had 15 members and no guests this week.

Lion Roger Estlack reported on the 5K, which was very cold and memorable. Out of about 80 that were registered, 35 racers braved the elements to run or walk. The club appreciates everyone who par-ticipated, sponsored, or otherwise helped with the event.

Lion John Howard reported on the county where justice was being dispensed this week.

Lion Ashlee Estlack reported on the college, which is hosting a play this Thursday and Friday eve-ning. She also said early voting starts Monday in the college election. It was also reported that the college baseball and softball teams are both tied for fi rst in the conference right now.

Lion Roger gave our program on the city’s water recreation proj-ect. A $500,000 grant from Texas Parks & Wildlife recently has helped the city get close to the $2.083 mil-lion needed to begin construction. One fi nal grant is pending; and if it is successful, the project will be about $150,000 away from having all the needed funds. The club voted to donate $4,000 to the project. We are glad to be able to serve our com-munity.

There being no further busi-ness, we were dismissed to spread Lionism and good cheer throughout our fair county.

Terri Seale was recently hon-ored by Property Casualty Alliance of Texas (PCAT), who is CCISD’s property & casualty provider, as the 2017-2018 PCAT Bus Driver of the Year for Clarendon CISD.

The award was presented by Superintendent Mike Norrell and Transportation Director Chad Hommel. The award was based upon multiple driver attributes: leader-ship, attitude, perseverance, student & parent relationships, and technical skill. Terri received a certifi cate and a personally monogramed jacket.

“We’re honored to recognize

the effort, sacrifi ce and great care exhibited by school bus drivers throughout the PCAT program,” said Rick Edward, President of Edward Risk Management, Inc. “When I consider the heartfelt praise offered by other school bus drivers, supervi-sors, school staff, students and par-ents, it stands out in my mind that the accomplishments extend beyond competent driving. It also speaks volumes to these drivers’ humility, gentle spirits, gracious demeanor and servant hearts, even as many of them have dealt with their own life struggles.”

According to Superintendent Mike Norrell, “Mrs. Seale, who is also an instructional aide, is reliable, good-natured, conscientious and rep-resentative of our dedicated, caring staff who go beyond what they are asked to do for our students”.

PCAT is the largest public school risk pool in the U.S. devoted solely to property and casualty expo-sures. Formed in 2003 to meet the unique property and casualty insur-ance needs faced by Texas schools, PCAT has grown to 144 members and more than $15 billion in school properties.

CISD names Seale ‘Bus Driver of the Year

CANYON – West Texas A&M University’s Department of History and the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum (PPHM) will host a panel commemorating the WWI centen-nial, “Spring 1918, ‘Over Here:’ Production and Perceptions on the Eve of Desperate Battle,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 19 in the PPHM Hazlewood Lecture Room.

This Great War centennial event will address little-known aspects of the spring 1918 homefront as the American Armed forces prepared for the massive assaults that took place on the western front in fall 1918. Specifi cally, panelists will dis-cuss how Texas dealt with wartime immigration, the Panhandle’s contri-butions to war production and how World War I changed gender identity

in early 20th century America. The four presenters will examine these national issues of production and perception through the lens of how Texans shaped, and were shaped by, their WWI experiences.

The four panelists include PPHM’s Michael Grauer along with Dr. Tim Bowman, associate profes-sor of history, Dr. Matt Reardon, assistant professor of history, and Kirbi Kelley-Diaz, history major and PPHM intern. Dr. Byron Pearson, professor of history, will moderate.

“The History Department at West Texas A&M University is excited to host this continuing series on the centennial commemoration of World War I because it is true public history,” Pearson said. “The response has been fantastic, and the

events have been well-attended.”The American Armed Forces

played a critical role in the allied vic-tory during World War I. However, the American Armed Forces could not have been victorious without the equally important efforts made by Americans at home.

“As historians it is incumbent upon us to not only engage in dis-cussions with our professional col-leagues about history, we must also stimulate and enter into ongoing public discussions about that his-tory,” Pearson said. “This upcom-ing panel discussion will focus upon how Texas and the Panhandle were connected to the 1918 Homefront as the American forces geared up for the fi nal allied offensives of the Great War.”

WT panel to commemorate WWI Centennial

ROBY – The Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch near Roby will feature a new twist for its May 4 fi eld day, coordinators said.

“For this, our 10th edition, we’ll be breaking stride to feature our fi rst such event during the spring,” said Dr. Dale Rollins, Texas A&M AgriL-ife Extension Service coordinator for the Reversing the Decline of Quail state initiative at San Angelo and the ranch’s executive director.

Preregistration is $10 per person by April 25 and $20 there-after for the event scheduled from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the ranch. The ranch is 11 miles west of Roby on US High-way 180 or just east of the intersec-tion of Farm-to-Market Road 611 and US Highway 180.

To preregister and for more information, call Rollins at 325-653-4576 or see the full agenda at www.quailresearch.org.

Two Texas Department of Agri-culture continuing education units, one general and one integrated pest management, for private applicators will be offered.

“Why did we switch from the previous decade’s September date? If for no other reason than to make the tour and talks cloaked in nature’s Technicolor with surround sound,” Rollins said. “I hope attend-ees have to strain their ears to hear the speakers above a constant din of quail calling ‘poor-Bob-white.’ Oh, and this will be a true fi eld day; no classroom instruction, hard chairs or powerpoint presentations. Our goal is to share what we’ve learned over the past 10 years in hopes of helping participants become more successful quail managers.”

Rollins said the tour and accom-panying site presentations will key off noted conservationist Aldo Leo-pold’s central theses of game man-agement, which centers around the premise that “game can be restored through the creative use of the same tools which often destroyed it — the ax, plow, cow, fi re and gun.”

Topics relating to those “tools” identifi ed by Leopold will include:

— Quail-friendly cacti man-agement; Surgical strikes with her-

bicides; Brush sculpting for quail; Blueprints for “Quail Houses and Storm Shelters;” and Half-cutting regrowth mesquite.

— Food plot plantings; Sea-sonal discing to manage plant suc-cession; and Post-Conservation Reserve Program: Promoting hetero-geneity.

— Patch-burn-grazing and bob-whites, and Cows and quail: Where’s the beef?

Talks during lunch will include translocation efforts, eyeworm update, quail forensics, and coyotes and quail.

— Seasonal burn plots to increase forb diversity; Fire: An adjustable wrench for quail manag-ers; How we burn; and a demonstra-tion burn, weather permitting.

— Trapping-banding results and decreasing wounding loss.

Sponsors for the fi eld day include AgriLife Extension’s Reversing the Decline of Quail Initiative, Quail Coalition and the Rolling Plains Quail Research Foun-dation.

On April 3, the Lady Broncos took on Gruver in a double header. The Lady Greyhounds won the fi rst game 4-17, but the Lady Broncos hustled back to earn a 24-8 win in the second.

“It was like we were a total dif-ferent team the second game,” coach Carrie Hicks said. “We fi nally started hitting. Everyone got at least one hit. Jade Benson hit a grand slam, and Emily Johnson and Makayla Brown both hit triples. Sandrea Smith and Brown hit doubles. We also played great defense and run-ruled them in the fourth inning.”

The ladies took on Follett at home on April 11 and lost 5-15.

“We struggled hitting this game,” Hicks said.

Johnson and Hannah Hommel each had a double in the game.

“The second inning is what really hurt us,” Hicks said. “We let them score seven runs.”

On April 13 the ladies played Claude and were defeated 6-10. Benson’s bat was on fi re again as she slammed a triple. Darcie Hunsaker hit a double in the game.

“We went four innings with no runs in and that killed us,” Hicks said. “We had a few wild throws to fi rst, but other than that, we played pretty good defense.”

Eighteen Clarendon High School students competed last week at Odessa College in the regional academic meet, and several students qualifi ed to move on to state compe-tition in Austin May 4-5.

The Current Issues & Events team of Noab Elam, Andy Davis, Alex Bilbrey, and Orian Neal placed fi rst as a team to win the regional championship and punch their ticket to state.

Elam placed 2nd overall, and Davis came in 4th. The team came

in with the highest district score of any competing teams, and they came through with the best score in regional competition as well.

The Social Studies team of Elam, Bilbrey, Josh Cobb, and Sophie Bilbrey placed 2nd as a team and Noab Elam won the individual regional championship.

The Science team of Tessa Lut-ters, Grayson Burch, and Harmond Drenth placed 2nd as a team as well. Lutters placed 2nd overall and tied for 2nd in Chemistry and so qualifi ed

to go to state as an individual. Burch placed 4th overall and

tied for 2nd in Chemistry with Lut-ters.

There are more than 7,000 stu-dents in Clarendon’s region, so for students to be in the top 4 in the region is a great achievement.

The state competition is the largest high school academic contest in the United States. Sponsors and competitors are excited about the chance to travel to the state capital and compete.

Fill in the puzzle with some animals that are at risk:

Some kinds of miceare at risk too! Do you know what the word

‘extinct’ means? When we say an animal is extinct, we mean that there are none left! Animals and plants have disappeared through natural causes such as storms, volcanic eruptions or diseases. Some animals have been wiped out because people were hungry and killed them for food before they had a chance to replace their populations. Animals may be threatened by loss of their homes or by sprays used to kill pesky insects. Some are hunted for their furs or horns. When numbers of these animals drop so low that they may become extinct, we call them ‘endangered’ and may work to protect them.

1. Arctic; melting ice threatens their habitat2. hunted for furs and food; found only in Vietnam; looks like an antelope, in same family as the cow3. Florida; swampy homes drained; hunted for skins, food4. few small groups left in mountainous bamboo forests of China5. large gentle animals in African jungles; not enough room for gathering food, raising families; killed for body parts 6. followed by fishermen seeking tuna; drown in nets; now companies support ways to fish that do not kill needlessly7. Africa, Asia; poachers kill them for their horns8. beautiful cat of India, Russia; killed for skin or fur9. ocean animal; largest animal in world; hunted 10. giant lizard; very few left

The quagga was an animal that lived inthe grasslands of South Africa. With stripes on its front half and plain brown on its back half it looked like it was half zebra and half horse. It is now extinct.
