Author Lana Payne
Barnett has woven a tale
of deceit, false pride, rage
and the ultimate, murder,
into an account that is a
page-turner. She began
her research years ago
when her father told her
about a man who shared
his name, a man who had
murdered his wife and
maimed his son. He was
understandably curious
about the case and asked
her to see if she could
learn the details. By the
time she did, her father
had died and, curiously,
was buried in the same
cemetery as the murderer
who shared his name.
Barnett lived in Can-
yon several years where
she worked for The
Canyon News. In 1991
she and her husband re-
turned to their childhood
home of Tulia where she
was Chamber of Com-
merce President/Direc-
tor for many years. She
has published a weekly
newspaper column called
Panhandle Tidbits and
has a Facebook page by
the same name with over
7500 followers. She has
published other books,
magazines and a play
about the area her latest
being Route 66 Guide to
the Texas Panhandle.
The Square House
Museum will be hosting
a book signing for Barnett

said. “Our agencies are
joining forces to collect
and share these stories
with other Texans, as well
as for the historical record
for future generations to
appreciate the importance
of drought preparedness
and proactive, voluntary
water conservation. We
know citizen-led conser-
vation efforts are our best
alternative to mandated
restrictions that can hurt
our economy.”
Texas’ many diverse
regions are each expe-
riencing the drought in
unique ways. This project
aims to educate Texans
on the critical nature of
drought and water conser-
vation. By providing the
photographs, the public
will help TDA, TWDB
and TPWD create a his-
torical archive. The agen-
cies believe it is important
for Texans to contribute
their personal photos that
illustrate the creative uses
of native plants, water
conservation methods and
other positive responses to
the drought.
“The photo campaign
has revealed the wide-
spread scope of the Texas
drought and some of the
innovative ways Tex-
ans are responding,” said
TWDB Board Chairman
Carlos Rubinstein. “Be-
cause TWDB takes the
lead in several agricultur-

programs, we'd like to see
even more ways Texans
are saving water during
the drought. Conserva-
tion of the state's water
resources is a vital part of
this conversation.”
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, more
than 93 percent of Texas is
experiencing some form
of drought, and more than
64 percent of the state is
suffering from severe to
exceptional drought.
“Even though there
have been welcome rains
across parts of Texas in
September, and people in
cities may see some green
on their lawns, it’s im-
portant to understand the
drought is by no means
over,” TPWD Executive
Director Carter Smith
said. “Lake levels re-
main low across much of
the state, river flows are
down, bay salinities are
high—the picture remains
serious by many mea-
sures. This project thus
has an important role to
remind people about the
toll of drought, and it un-
derscores the importance
of water planning and
conservation. We all have
a role to play in conserv-
ing water.”
