The purpose of this grant program is to provide funding to eligible applicants to support projects that will improve and enhance the Panhandle's solid waste management system(s). Projects supported under this program must support one or more of the goals of the Panhandle Regional Solid Waste Plan.
Funding for the program is provided through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and is generated off the “tipping fees” paid by landfill operators to the TCEQ for every ton of solid waste deposited into their landfill. Each year, the PRPC receives an allocation of funding to support a wide variety of local and regional projects. In the past these grant funds have been used to increase recycling, deter illegal dumping, promote composting, encourage yard waste and/or wood waste diversion, develop Citizen Convenience Centers to improve waste management in rural areas and support studies to evaluate the costs-benefits of modifying local waste management practices.
City of Gruver: Electronic Recycling Storage fully funded for $4000.00
City of Spearman: Concrete Crushing and Reuse fully funded for $7.500.00
City of Borger: Yard Waste Dumpsters fully funded for $$14,000.00

Dumas’s Own Tries Out For Venom
Amarillo, TX 1/11/12: The Amarillo Venom held tryouts last Saturday, January 7th at the Civic Center in Amarillo, TX. Dumas’s own Astolfo Venzor showed up to see what the Venom was all about.
“Tryouts were a complete success” said Amarillo Venom Owner/General Manager Stephanie Tucker. “We were excited to see local residents from the area coming out for the team, after all this is Texas football.”
Dumas native and superstar, Astolfo Venzor, came to try out for the Venom football team with hopes of a possible Running Back or Line Backer position. Astolfo went to Oklahoma Panhandle State University and now resides in Dumas, TX with his wife Patricia and family.
The Venom coaching staff was very excited to see faces from surrounding Panhandle towns. The Venom now has local owners, local coaches, and local staff. Adding some local players would only boost the team’s Panhandle spirit. Show your Panhandle spirit by getting your season tickets today! Come be a part of the exciting experience and watch your Amarillo Venom football team go after the 2012 Championship.
The school board met Monday evening to address the following agenda items. Special Recognitions Dumas Intermediate School teachers Kathy Bybee, Ashlee Breland and Tammy Stephenson were in attendance with some of their 6th grade PreAP math students. They gave the board an overview of the program, with each of the students explaining what they liked about the class. We had a full house in observation of Texas School Board Appreciation Month. Campus principals and students expressed their appreciation to the board and then presented them with a gift certificate and thank you card. A big thank you goes to our board members for the many, many hours they dedicate to the district. These community service positions not only come without a paycheck, but they also require an election in order to serve a three year term. Their service is greatly appreciated by the students, parents, staff and community of Dumas ISD! (more)
