No injuries in rollover

Emergency personnel examine the wreck of Honda Pilot SUV east of Clarendon Monday morning after an Amarillo family walked away from the accident with only minor injuries. Department of Public Safety Trooper Lynn Mays said the accident was caused by Taylor Ann Polster of Denton, who was eastbound in the right hand lane of US 287 driving a Ford Focus, when she came up on a pickup driving slowly and switched lanes unsafely. Claudia Garcia, driving the Honda in the left hand lane, was forced to swerve to avoid a collision with Polster, went off the road, came back on the road and then off again, and overcorrected resulting in the SUV rolling over. Garcia and her two children were wearing seatbelts. She and one child suffered minor injuries, and all three were transported by Associated Ambulance Authority to Childress Regional Medical Center. Mays said a citation was issued to Polster. Enterprise Photo / Morgan Bebout

Museum receives artifacts

Two artifacts handed down through the Estlack family were donated to the Saints’ Roost Museum last Thursday. The two Majolica pitchers have been in the family since the 19th century and were among the possessions of Alfred Estlack, the father of former local publisher J.C. Estlack, and were once displayed in the former Donley County Museum in the 1930s. They were later passed down through the family of Eugene and Helen Estlack with instructions that they ultimately be returned to Clarendon for display. Shown here are museum curator Madeleine Black with Eugene and Helen’s daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Marilyn Estlack and Dawn Estlack Sweet. Enterprise Photo / Roger Estlack
