USDA grants $670k to CC for distance ed Clarendon College has received a grant of $670,423 to expand distance learning opportunities, according to information from CC and the USDA. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Monday a significant expansion of access to health care and educational services for millions of rural Americans nationwide. This announcement continues to move forward President Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda by prioritizing economic growth in rural America and investing in the middle class.

The money for Clarendon College will be used to purchase

state-of-the-art video communication systems to be located on the main campus in Clarendon, as well as branch locations in Childress, Pampa, and Shamrock.

The college will use these systems to allow instructors on one campus to teach classes at other rural sites that lack the faculty for those subjects. Specifically, expanding the availability of nursing courses and in the delivery of ranch and feedlot operations courses will address workforce needs in the Texas Panhandle and benefit approximately 29,000 residents.

“The college is excited to use

the grant funds to enhance learning for current and future students,” CC President Tex Buckhaults said.

The grant will allow CC to work with other schools in the region, other counties, states, and even globally. Specific plans include expanding educational opportunities to provide students with core courses, electives, dual credit courses, and advanced placement.

The college also aims to use the grant to improve academic achievement and expand opportunities for dual credit and college readiness and to provide a community resource for the facilitation of workforce

development, job training, community meetings, continuing education, and professional development.

Enhancements on the Clarendon campus will include a digital screen and new sound system in the Bairfield Activity Center and improvements in the Courson Ranch Operations Center and in the CC video conference room in the Instructional Center, Buckhaults told the Enterprise.

“For too long, the ‘digital divide’ has left too many people living in rural communities behind: unable to compete in the global

economy and unable to access the services and resources that all Americans need,” Vilsack said. “As we build back better than we were before, the actions I am announcing today will go a long way toward ensuring that people who live or work in rural areas are able to tap into the benefits of broadband, including access to specialized health care, educational opportunities and the global marketplace. Rural people, businesses and communities must have affordable, reliable, high-speed internet so they can fully participate in modern society and the modern economy.”

Seliger won’t seek re-election State Senator Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo) announced last Wednesday he will not seek re-election.

“After thoughtful consideration and with the reassurance of my family, including my new very vocal granddaughter, I have decided not to be a candidate for re-election to the Texas Senate,” Sen. Seliger said.

“From my first campaign in 1989 to today, I have felt overwhelmingly proud to serve the Panhandle, South Plains, and the Permian Basin.”

The senator’s announcement came just a few days before Gov. Greg Abbott signed off on the new political maps for the state following the 2020 Census.

Over Seliger’s objections, the Legislature approved a map that creates new lines for his Senate District 31, most notably cutting Donley, Wheeler, Hall, and Collingsworth counties out of the Panhandle senate district and adding them to District 28, which is currently represented by Sen. Charles Perry of Lubbock.

Seliger is most known for his unwavering support of local control, public education, higher education, sexual assault awareness and prevention, and battling human trafficking. He authored hundreds of pieces of legislation, most notably, Senate Bill 463, creating Individual Graduation Committees and

Senate Bill 150, providing capital construction projects at every higher education institution in the state.

Additionally, he played a pivotal role in the reworking of highstakes testing regimens in public schools.

He also authored the first bill requiring ethical disclosure of dark money in political campaigns in the nation.

“It has been a great honor to represent the people, schools, and businesses of Senate District 31 for the past 17 years in the Texas Legislature. The opportunity to serve as Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee and Senate Select Committee on Redistricting, as well a longtime member of the

Finance and Education Committees, allowed me to be impactful in areas of great importance to me and the entire state.”

“I am no less dedicated to the fundamental principles of smaller government, local control, and real fiscal conservatism as I was when I first ran for the Texas Senate,” Seliger said. “I will continue to serve the great constituents of Senate District 31 for the remainder of my term. I am forever grateful for my family, supporters, staff, and those who have worked on my behalf since 2004.

“Thank you for placing your trust in me as your Texas State Senator.”

The Clarendon Enterprise • October 28, 2021

Dowling defeats Union at Sabine Pass Historic cultural appropriation In the current environment of race sensitivity, I think it is necessary to ask certain questions. I think the best way to move forward as a nation is to have a dialoged. With Halloween approaching I am reminded of a situation last year where children were criticized for dressing up as characters not of their race. In a time when we are pushing for equality and inclusiveness, at what point do we cross a line into racism? In the past Disney has been accused of racism by making most of their characters white and in recent years has done their best to create a diverse cast of heroes and princesses. In our efforts to diversify, what happens if a little girl loves a character like Moana and wants to dress as her for Halloween? In some ways this should be celebrated as the type of color blindness we want to teach our children, but in other ways this is being seen as racism and cultural by dr. james fink appropriation. Historically speaking this is actually not new. We have seen examples of this over the past decade, but also from a tumultuous decade a long time ago.

In 2011, Touchstone released the movie The Help based on the very popular novel of the same name.

The movie and the book were both massive hits; the book spent over 100 weeks on the best seller list. The story is set during the 1960s in the south and both the book and movie were praised for bringing to light the difficult subject of racism and the treatment of black domestic help. Yet it also showed the strength of the three leading women, two black and one white, as they in their own ways fought against this negative treatment. However, jump forward to the present and the same book and movie are now under scrutiny.

A similar thing happened last year when Oprah Winfrey announced the book American Dirt as her book club pick. Winfrey’s book club is possibly the most famous book club in history and her choices are normally celebrated. Winfrey claimed this book captured her attention from the very beginning and it was a story needing to be told. It is about a middleclass Mexican woman and her son fleeing from a drug lord that recently took over their Mexican town. This incredibly violent story details enduring hardships and the struggle many migrants must go through to try to better their lives. However, probably to Winfrey’s surprise, this book also came under attack.

In both cases the books drew criticism because the authors were white, and their detractors said both women wrote about issues they were not familiar with nor could possibly understand. The Help also is accused of having a white savior complex or the idea that it took a white woman to solve the black women’s problems. Even though, in both cases, the authors were actually trying to shine a light on the struggles of minorities, many felt they were trying to profit from others’ hardships. This may seem like a 2021 issue, where we have become very sensitive of cultural appropriation, but in fact this is a very old one.

In 1852, the most important and highest selling novel of the Nineteenth Century was released. Uncle Tom’s Cabin written by abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe told a fictional story of slaves in the south. The principal character, Uncle Tom, was owned by a good Christian family who came on difficult financial times and was forced to sell a couple of their favorite slaves, slaves who they saw almost as family. Tom ended up being passed from one master to the next, some caring, some bad, and eventually one who was evil and beat Tom to death.

The Shelby’s, Tom’s original owners, were also forced to sell the young son of Eliza, who when Eliza found out took him and ran to freedom in the North.

It is a harrowing tale of survival. What Stowe was able to do was put a face to slavery. Many in the north had no connection to slavery or had never met a slave.

They only knew what they had heard, that blacks did not have the same feelings as whites. They were not as affected when their young were sold away. Whites used the fact that their slaves seemed to just go back to work and did not seem to mourn those that were lost. Of course, the slaves had no other choice but to go back to work under physical duress. What Stowe did was show the pain and agony slaves endured. She turned more people into abolitionists than anyone else.

Even Lincoln when he met her said, “So you’re the little woman that started this Great War!” The other thing it did was show that slavery hurt whites. The Shelby’s were good people forced to do an evil thing. Throughout the book are constant stories about whites forced to come to terms with this evil institution. In some ways the kind sweet young Eva, who took such good care of Tom, had to die. If not, she would have been corrupted by the institution of slavery.

Even with the success of the novel in some circles the book was condemned. One of the key criticisms was the fact that Stowe had never been in the south or around slaves and so could in no way know what slavery was like. Southerners claimed her depictions were inaccurate and slanderous and the book was banned from most southern states.

Historically speaking, even though Stowe was a white northerner woman, and for today’s standards perpetuated negative racial stereotypes, she possibly did more to bring to light the problems with slavery than any other person. If Lincoln was right, it was this book that brought on the war that brought an end to slavery.

I understand and want to be sensitive to cultural appropriation, but I also fear too much sensitivity is actually pushing us in the wrong direction.

I understand the history of black face and as a white man may not understand the pain of cultural appropriation. Yet if a little girl has embraced diversity and her favorite princess is a person of color, is she crossing the line of racism, or should we celebrate her inclusiveness? I am not saying I know the answer to this, but what I fear is from now on we tell children to embrace diversity but when it comes to choosing your favorite characters make sure they are white.

historically speaking

Dr. James Finck is a Professor of History at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.

In the southeast corner of Texas the Sabine River, which constitutes the border between Texas and Louisiana, empties into a large lake which in turn empties through Sabine Pass into the Gulf of Mexico. During the Civil War, Sabine Pass was a major port through which the Southern states sent their cotton to Europe and through which they imported arms and munitions.

Thus Sabine Pass had great strategic importance. It was important to the South to keep it open, and it was equally important to the North to have it closed.

Near the mouth of Sabine Pass the South had established Fort Griffin, a small earthwork post with six cannon, to fend off Northern attempts to block the outlet to the Gulf. Knowing that a superior force was approaching, the Confederate force that had garrisoned the fort left. After all, discretion is the better part of valor. But Richard (Dick) Dowling, who operated the Bank of Baccus saloon in Houston, saw the opportunity to do that which the Irish do best – fight. Enlisting in the Confederate army and equipping themselves with a ample supply of whiskey, Dowling and forty-one Irish followers boarded a train for Port Arthur. They called themselves the Davis Guards, and twenty-year-old Dick Dowling was their lieutenant and commander.

From Port Arthur Dowling marched his men down to Sabine Pass, and they occupied Fort Griffin. By means of a narrow dirt road connecting the fort to the nearby community of Sabine Pass, Kate Dorman, owner of the Catfish Hotel in Sabine Pass, managed to keep Dowling=s troops supplied with food.

Late in the evening of September 6, 1863, Dowling observed the signal lights of a Union invasion force approaching in the Gulf. Just a few weeks earlier two Union gunboats had succeeded in blockading the pass but were driven away by two Confederate ships sent from Houston. It now appeared that the Union was going to try again.

Dowling immediately awakened his men and ordered them to get ready.

“Wake up boys,” he cried. “There’s something brewing, and we had better

go to work.”

The men cleaned their guns, they piled powder and balls, and the fort’s engineer went from gun to gun making tales of the old west by george u. hubbard sure they were ready. The doctor prepared himself with a supply of splints and bandages. Then they waited.

As the sun rose, nothing had happened. Somewhat disappointed about losing sleep and having to work all night for nothing, the defenders did some scowling and muttering. Dowling consoled them and got them back on track, though, by telling them, “Never mind, boys. Never mind. There is surely something brewing, and let us prepare for whatever may come.”

And come, it did. That evening the masts of the invading fleet came into view. Four gunboats, twenty-two troop ships, and fifteen thousand soldiers were approaching. Trouble was surely brewing for Dick Dowling and his fortytwo Irish defenders from Houston.

Captain Frederick Odlum, in the village of Sabine Pass, sent word to General John Bankhead Magruder in Houston. In response, Magruder suggested that it was an impossible situation, and that Fort Griffin should be abandoned, but he left the final decision up to Odlum and Dowling. At the fort, Dowling assembled his men and asked their opinion. “What do you say, men?

Shall we retreat, or shall we stay and fight it out?”

“No, no, no!” they shouted back.

“Fight, fight, fight!”

“Then to your guns,” cried Dowling. “See that everything is ready.

But don’t fire until I give the signal.”

Into the night the ships approached nearer and nearer, and at daybreak (September 8) the Union gunboats began firing on the fort and on the road connecting the fort to the village.

Dowling restrained his men from returning fire. “Not yet, boys. They are too far off, and we haven’t a ball or a

vignettes

pound of powder to throw away.”

The slow and steady Union approach continued, and the pounding of the fort and road continued. Then at three o’clock in the afternoon, when the ships were close enough for the voices of the Union soldiers and sailors to be heard, Dowling fired his cannon.

“Load and fire at will!” he shouted.

With that as the signal, the other Confederate guns roared into action.

Masts were ripped off the leading ships. A loud explosion sent one ship, the Sachem, into the air as a ball exploded her boilers. Another ship, the Clifton, raised the white flag after a severe pounding. A third ship, the Arizona, was wounded and backed away out of cannonball range. She was so damaged that her crew threw horses, provisions, and everything else they could overboard to lighten her weight.

The remaining ships turned and left the scene of action.

As the battle ended, Dowling and his men had captured two Union gunboats and crippled a third. They took 350 prisoners, thirteen cannon, and much ammunition and provisions. Among the prisoners was Lieutenant Frederick Crocker of the Clifton who asked to see the Confederate commander. He could hardly believe his eyes as Dick Dowling, a young, dirty, twenty year old boy presented himself. Crocker was even more amazed when he saw the mere handful of Texas Irishmen who had beaten the large armada. “Four gunboats and fifteen thousand men beaten by this boy and his forty-two Irishmen,” he muttered. “It is something unheard of.”

It truly was an accomplishment, and the young Dowling and his men had achieved one of the South’s greatest victories.

Returning to Houston following the war, Dowling reopened his saloon, The Bank of Baccus. He died, however, shortly thereafter at the early age of twenty-nine. In 1880, the Texas Legislature presented a posthumous medal of valor to Dowling’s daughter.

An impressive monument at Sabine Pass now commemorates Dowling’s victory.

Clarendon and Howardwick are both planning fun times for Halloween Saturday, October 30 with Trunk or Treat beginning about 7 p.m. at Howardwick’s McMorries Memorial Park. Bring the kids to trick or treat in a safe, fun environment and meet your neighbors.

Do you have a favorite Halloween memory?

Mine was October 1947 at McLean, Texas. Living on the ranch our nearest neighbors were two to five miles away so trick-or-treating was not something we did, but thankfully, the war was over and our school had a Halloween Carnival with a queen. Candidates were selected from each room by secret ballot.

E a c h class planned an activity and sold tickets to raise money for their queen or princess and a fun trip or by peggy cockerham party at the Howardwick • 874-2886 end of school.

I remember tickets were 10 cents each. With each child trying to raise a dollar for their class, you needed to be a fast talker. I happened to be a very shy little girl and still have an aversion to asking for money for any cause.

That year, my very best friend, Arlene, was our class candidate, and

‘wick picks

someone had donated a chicken for us to sell tickets to raise money. This year happened to be the year Mother had raised 100 chickens that were frozen in the frozen food locker in town.

Did she need another chicken?

No, but her daughter was begging to sell at least one ticket. Very reluctantly she bought one ticket and lo-and-behold, her name was drawn as the winner! She often told that story as the only thing she ever won.

Arlene didn’t win, but I remember that carnival and the fun we all had. Make some fun memories for your family, take them trunk-ortreating.

God bless our community and the USA.

Cub Reporter celebrates turning 15 The weekend before last, my family and some of my friends – Mason, Bryce, Dalton and I – went to Amarillo to celebrate my birthday.

On Saturday morning, I had a Marching contest, so we went to that before hanging out in Amarillo. At the contest we ended up getting a three “two” ratings, which is pretty good, but we were all hoping for at least one “one.”

After the contest we went and watched a movie and then we went

to Sports World.

At Sports World, we decided to do everything.

We started off with a round of mini golf, which Bryce won.

Then by benjamin estlack we went and rode go-karts for a while. Then we ended off at sports world with a pool

the cub reporter

tournament, which Mason ended up winning.

We went and ate at Hoffbrau, and then we returned home. When we got home, we continued our cycle of fighting and watching movies until about three o’clock, then we went to bed. The next day we woke up and watched some more movies, then we made homemade pizza for lunch.

My birthday was loads of fun, and I can’t wait until next year!

Donley, Wheeler working toward broadband goals A technology action plan developed by Connected Nation Texas (CN Texas) has been presented to both Donley and Wheeler counties following a broadband survey.

From August 2020 to May 2021, 137 households in Donley County and 218 households in Wheeler County took part in a survey to determine the availability of internet infrastructure; how its residents are adopting and using broadband services; and what steps would have the greatest impact toward improving broadband access, adoption, and use across every sector locally.

Highlights from the Donley County survey include: Among residents without a home internet connection, 40 percent said they did not have broadband because it was not available to them, while 46.7 percent indicate that it

was too expensive.

The FCC currently defines broadband as an internet connection with a download speed of at least 25 Mbps and upload speed of at least 3 Mbps. On average, respondents in Donley County indicate that their connection’s download speed is 11.83 Mbps.

84.5 percent of Donley County respondents indicate that they are interested in additional internet choices for their home.

This project was made possible through funding provided by the Texas Rural Funders, a philanthropic organization based in Texas dedicated to working with rural communities to develop and implement solutions designed to meet the unique challenges they face.

The recommended broadband goals for both counties are to:

Identify a single point of contact to organize and lead broadband initiatives in Donley and Wheeler counties.

Catalog ongoing and planned broadband improvement projects and federal funding initiatives. Increase online engagement in Donley and Wheeler counties through free digital literacy workshops.

“It has been wonderful to work with the Donley and Wheeler County Broadband Team,” said Sierra Sees, Broadband Solutions Manager for CN Texas. “Everyone involved in this project has worked together with the same goal in mind, achieiving greater access to broadband for the people who need it most.”

What voters need to know about Tuesday’s election

By Andrew Zhang, The Texas Tribune

Texas voters can soon weigh in on potential changes to the state’s Constitution regarding religious services, eligibility requirements for judges, county infrastructure and more.

Election day is November 2, and early voting lasts until October 29.

The proposed additions to the Texas Constitution were passed as bills during this year’s legislative session, and a majority of voters in the state must approve each amendment before it can be officially added to the Constitution.

In 2017, Texas voters approved all seven amendments on the ballot; in 2019, voters greenlighted nine out of 10 proposed changes.

There are no state elected seats on the ballot this November.

Under each proposition, we have included the recommendations from Progress Texas, the Texas Freedom Caucus and the editorial boards of some major Texas newspapers: Austin American-Statesman, The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth-Star Telegram, San Antonio Express-News (Propositions 1-4, 5-8) and Houston Chronicle (only endorsed for Propositions 2 and 3). Progress Texas is a progressive media organization, and the Freedom Caucus is a conservative advocacy group in the Texas House of Representatives.

Here’s the breakdown of each proposed amendment.

Proposition 1: rodeo raffles Proposition 1 would allow charitable raffles at rodeo events.

Unauthorized raffles can be considered illegal gambling under Texas law.

In 2015, voters approved a rule to allow charitable raffles at professional sports games. The resulting change created fundraising opportunities for education, cancer research and youth programs, according to an amendment analysis.

The constitutional amendment on the ballot this November would extend that permission to rodeo events by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association or the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.

For: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, Progress Texas, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board Against: Texas Freedom Caucus Proposition 2: tax financing for county infrastructure This amendment would authorize counties to issue bonds or notes to raise funds for transportation infrastructure in underdeveloped areas. Already, cities and towns have the authority to fund projects with this financing method.

Counties would repay these bonds by pledging increased property tax revenues, but these funds cannot be used for construction, maintenance or acquisition of toll roads.

Veterans hiring event to be Nov. 4

Workforce Solutions Panhandle, The Texas Veterans Commission, and The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) will host the tenth annual Hiring Red, White & You! Veterans Job Fair on Thursday, November 4, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This statewide event is meant to connect Texas Veterans, their families, and the general public with employers looking for qualified candidates.

The event will take place at Workforce Solutions Panhandle in Amarillo and Virtually on wspanhandle.com. To provide priority of service, the event will be open first to Transitioning Service Members, Veterans, and Qualified Spouses from 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. The event will then open to the general public from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Since 2011, this statewide event has been attended by more than 108,000 job seekers and has helped 18,000+ employers connect with qualified, prospective employees.

More than 2,800 people have been hired on the spot.

Editorial Board, Houston Chronicle Editorial Board, Progress Texas, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board Against: Texas Freedom Caucus Proposition 3: restrictions on religious services If approved, Proposition 3 would ban the state from prohibiting or limiting religious services, including those in churches and other places of worship.

The move stems from conflicts over churches that closed during the early months of the pandemic in 2020. Some local officials extended stay-at-home orders to include places of worship, requiring them to limit attendance or make services virtual — a trend Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans pushed back on.

But critics of the proposal worry the change could prevent the government from acting to protect people in future emergencies, such as evacuations and public health emergencies.

For: The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Texas Freedom Caucus Against: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, Houston Chronicle Editorial Board, Progress Texas, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board Proposition 4: state judge eligibility Proposition 4 would require candidates to have 10 years of experience practicing law in Texas to be eligible for election to the Texas Supreme Court, the Court of Criminal Appeals or a Texas court of appeals. Currently, the law requires 10 years of experience but allows for out-of-state experience.

Additionally, candidates running to be a district judge would need eight years of law practice or judicial experience in a Texas court, up from the current requirement of four years.

Proponents of the change argue it could create a higher-quality judiciary, but opponents say the proposed requirements could reduce voter choice and diversity within the candidate pool. In Texas, judges are elected by popular vote.

For: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board Against: Progress Texas Neutral: Texas Freedom Caucus Proposition 5: judicial misconduct process Proposition 5 would allow the State Commission on Judicial Conduct to have oversight of candidates running for judicial seats by accepting complaints or reports, conducting investigations and reprimanding them. The commission, an independent agency created by the state Constitution, already has these powers over current judicial officeholders.

For: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, San Antonio

Express-News Editorial Board, Texas Freedom Caucus Against: Progress Texas Proposition 6: essential caregiver designation This amendment would allow residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities to designate one essential caregiver who cannot be denied in-person visitation rights. If the proposition passes, the Legislature would create further guidelines for these caregivers.

Like Proposition 3, Proposition 6 also comes as a response to pandemic-era restrictions. Nursing homes, which were hit particularly hard by COVID-19, saw extended visitation restrictions that prevented residents from seeing family and friends for months.

For: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, Progress Texas, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board, Texas Freedom Caucus Proposition 7: property tax exemptions for bereaved families Proposition 7 would put a limit on school district property taxes incurred by the surviving spouse of a person with disabilities older than 65 who has died. The surviving spouse must be at least 55 years old at the partner’s time of death and still live in the home.

The amendment is necessary to update the Constitution in accordance with the tax code, which was modified in the 2019 legislative session to include this change.

If approved, individuals eligible for these tax breaks could receive refunds on collections in 2020 and 2021.

The resolution could reduce school district property tax revenue and increase state funding in accordance with Texas public school funding formulas, according to analysis of the amendment.

However, the exact cost of the change cannot be estimated because the number of surviving spouses is unknown.

For: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, Progress Texas, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board, Texas Freedom Caucus Proposition 8: property tax exemptions for military families Proposition 8 would expand eligibility for residential homestead tax exemptions to include spouses of military members killed or fatally injured in the line of duty.

Currently, the exemption is extended to spouses of military members killed in action. The new eligibility would include people killed in accidental vehicle crashes or non-hostile events.

This exemption would apply to fewer than 10 people per year, according to analysis of the amendment.

For: Austin AmericanStatesman Editorial Board, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board, Progress Texas, San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board, Texas Freedom Caucus
