High Plains Observer

High Plains Observer Bringing You The News...While It's Still The News! Spearman Chamber honored the HPO with business of the year in 2008. Thus the Perryton HPO.

The first HPO the High Plains Observer began in Spearman in July 2006 and has enjoyed tremendous success as a huge community information center. We feel that the entire High Plains can benefit from the immediate information that’s as easy as opening our web address, reading an email, using your smart phone. Gina, husband Brian, and Ron and Bev Antalek have been partners on the Spearman HPO and agr

eed from the beginning the obvious next step was to branch out into the outlying communities. When Grace Pshigoda, (Brian and Gina’s daughter) moved to Dumas in 2008, the timing was perfect to go online in Dumas. Now Grace is busy with her family but Dumas continues to serve Moore County. In October 2009 Jackie Wiswell came on board and helps the team with more stories and photos for the HPO in Dumas. Next came HPO Hutchinson County offering another online source. In August 2020, Alexa Reed came on board with HPO Stratford. The theory is the same…news as it happens, lots and lots and lots of color photos, important and timely information, useful links, and a newspaper that involves YOU. Simply email your information, story ideas, and photos to [email protected] and we will make sure they make the headlines! We are happy to provide our news site free of charge to our viewers and as you can see we have been around for awhile. Please if you have any events that you would like for us to try to cover just send us an email at [email protected]. Join us on Facebook also. High Plains Observer Facebook serves all five of our sites. Spearman, Perryton, Dumas, Stratford and Hutchinson County.

DETROIT MICHIGAN---At the Annual Convention of the National Community Action Partnership Gala held August 28, Dumas resident Audra Rea was honored with the National Community Action Personal Achievement Award.

Audra gave a very inspiring account of her life and how she went from needing the services of Panhandle Community Services as a young mother, to becoming the Family Services Director.

Her heartwarming presentation included a humorous story about the car she drove and how it wasn’t able to drive in reverse. "God taught me so many life lessons with that car," said Audra, "just keep moving forward!"

Her honesty and transparency in sharing her life story was so inspirational it moved the audience to a standing ovation, and many to tears.

Audra has a list of accomplishments that prove her gift of tenacity as well as her dedication to making life better for all those put in her path.

Congratulations to you Audra and to your team at Panhandle Community Services!

It was a proud moment for the Texas Panhandle to shine through your hard work and giving spirit!

“Our mission focuses on reinvigorating communities in the Great Plains. We have three core programs. One is stewarding natural resources, and another is workforce leadership and development. The last is a program called “rebuilding local food systems.” You cannot have a thriving community or healthy community without nutrient-dense food,” Birkenfeld told KXDJ’s Chris Samples.
