Be wary of traffic, crosswalks as school starts By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Hereford motorists will need to pay attention to crosswalks, buses and school zones as close to 4,000 students and parents revert to school routines Monday morning. According to Hereford Police
Chief Brent Harrison, drivers must yield the right of way to children in crosswalks and cannot enter the crosswalk until it is completely empty of pedestrian traffic. “You may have time and there may be room, but you must wait until they are completely clear before you proceed,” Harrison said. “That’s the law at any
intersection, not just those near the schools.” Harrison also cautioned motorist to watch for crossing guards and follow their instructions accordingly as they have the same authority as police officers, are trained in traffic law and can file charges. Hereford Police Lt. Randy

After more than a month of delays, appointment of a new judge and allegations of Constitutional right violations, Deaf Smith County (DSC) Clerk of Court Imelda DeLaCerda is expected to have her day in court Monday. DeLaCerda was arrested May 30 by Hereford Police for allegedly giving officers a false identity and second offense of driving with an invalid license. She had originally been stopped for speeding and has pleaded not guilty to both charges. Records show DeLaCerda has a 2008 conviction for driving while license suspended/revoked and has not possessed a valid Texas driver’s license since Oct. 12, 2003. An original trial date of July 7 in Deaf Smith County Court to answer the two Class 2 misdemeanor charges was continued by defense request in a flurry of filings at the end of June. In addition to granting the defense request for a DELACERDA continuance, DSC Judge D.J. Wagner recused himself from the trial on grounds “the defendant is an elected county official” and he had “personal knowledge of the defendant.” Also in the those late June filings from DeLaCerda’s attorney, Greta Crofford of Amarillo, was a motion to suppress all video, audio and other evidence gathered, as well as testimonies of those involved on grounds that DeLaCerda’s Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendments rights were violated. With Randall County Judge James Anderson appointed to hear the case and his office confirming Monday’s docket call in Deaf Smith County Court for 1:30 p.m., exactly what happens when the gavel falls is unclear. Deaf Smith County District Attorney Jim English said under usual circumstances, pretrial motions – such as the motion to suppress – are heard and decided upon before the actual trial begins. However, no official word from the PLEASE SEE CLERK | 3A
Officals agree millennials need basic life skills By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer With the foremost topic of discussion during District 31 State Sen. Kel Seliger’s recent Town Hall meeting in Hereford being education, one question seemed inevitable. “What to make of millennials’ lack of life skills, and how can they be improved?”
First Financial Bank president and CEO Mike Mauldin ventured the query – adding it is not limited to Hereford and is a national problem. “I’ve talked to major businesses here, and that’s the one thing that keeps coming up,” Mauldin said. “Students come out [of high school] without life skills or knowing anything about personal finance.”
Young adults do not know how to balance a checkbook, and he has personally witnessed young college students who take out more student loans than they need, Mauldin said. Mauldin suggested that high schools offer classes whereby the primary focus is on skills essential to adult independence. “I’m not saying that our kids are behind, because it’s nationwide,
but how do we make it so that our kids are a step ahead?” Mauldin said. Seliger said schools should proceed in that direction “very carefully” and any such course should be created with the assistance of the chamber of commerce. Seliger, who chairs the Senate PLEASE SEE SELIGER | 3A

Gerald Gene “Jerry� Payne, M.D., a longtime resident of Hereford, passed away Aug. 16, 2016 at Baptist St. Anthony Hospital after a long fight with cancer, myasthenia gravis, and other illnesses. He was 78 years old. The funeral service will be 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 20 at First Presbyterian Church in Hereford with Pastor Don McDonald and the Rev. Claire Cowden officiating. Interment will follow at West Park Cemetery. Dr. Payne was born July 22, 1938 in Rising Star, Texas to Frank Corry Payne, M.D. and Lucile Virginia (Bedgood) Payne. He grew up in Breckenridge, a football powerhouse in the 1950s. He was a starting center and linebacker on the 1954 3A state champion Breckenridge Buckaroo football team. That Breckenridge team beat Abilene, the eventual 4A state champion, 3514, in the regular season. Class 4A was the largest classification at the time, and Breckenridge claimed the championship of all of Texas as a result of the victory. He was a consensus All-State linebacker his senior year at Breckenridge. He played in the Greenbelt Bowl, Oil Bowl and high
school all-star games. Jerry was recruited by Bud Wilkinson to play football for the Oklahoma Sooners and was part of Oklahoma’s famed 47-game winning streak, still a record in college football. Freshmen were not allowed to play on college varsity squads in the 1950s. Gerald lettered for Oklahoma during the 1957, 58, and 59 football seasons. He played on Oklahoma’s 1957 and 1958 Orange Bowl champion teams. He began starting for Oklahoma during the 1958 season. His senior year, he was second-team All Big Eight and first-team Academic All Big Eight as a left guard for the Sooners. He was particularly proud of intercepting a pass against the hated Texas Longhorns in their annual game in the Cotton Bowl. He won the “Ug� Award, an award given to the outstanding OU player for the Kansas State and Oklahoma State games. Jerry played in the Hula Bowl after his senior year in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Hula Bowl was an All-Star game at the time. In May 1960, Jerry was awarded Oklahoma’s Big Eight Medallion at the annual “O� Club banquet. The award was for the OU athlete who excelled most, both scholastically and athletically. Recently, in May 2015, Dr. Payne, his father, and his brothers were inducted into the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame for their football Solution to Aug. 17 puzzle

Campaign Ribbon. He was honorably released from active duty on his birthday, July 22, 1967. After Vietnam, Dr. Payne began his medical career in Hereford at the Family Medical Clinic with Dr. Hugh McCrary. Dr. Duffy McBrayer joined them one year later. He was an avid reader and enjoyed reading medical journals and studies to keep up with advancements in medicine. Dr. Payne served on the Deaf Smith County Hospital Board for many years. He was a fixture on the sideline during Herd football games for 35 years. He lost a wedding ring in applying a plaster cast to a Herd player in the 1970s. He was pleased when he was awarded a Hereford letterman’s jacket for his sideline sports care. He often wore the jacket to football games. He enjoyed jogging, and he could often be seen jogging out to Milo Center or back. He eventually ran a marathon. Dr. Payne was a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, where he often served as a lay reader. He also served as Junior Warden of that church. He regularly read and studied
achievements. After Oklahoma, Jerry attended Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. He graduated in 1964 and served his one-year internship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. He then volunteered for the U.S. Navy and was commissioned as a lieutenant (the rank of captain in other branches) in the medical corps. He was stationed with a Marine battalion in a forward area in Vietnam. While n maneuvers, his battalion was ambushed. Dr. Payne almost never spoke of this battle. The Marines eventually won the battle, losing 20 men with 78 wounded. Dr. Payne was awarded the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star for the medical care he provided to our Marines during the battle. The Cross of Gallantry was awarded in recognition of deeds of valor and heroic conduct while in combat with the enemy. The Silver Star means the award was cited at the Division level. He was also awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, and the Vietnam

Weekend edition, August 20-21, 2016
OPINION Wood does not deserve death penalty Jeff Wood is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas next week, despite the fact that he never killed anyone. Even prosecutors acknowledge that. Essentially, Wood "is on death row for robbery," as his sister put it. On Jan. 2, 1996, Wood was sitting in his truck outside a Kerrville convenience store when his friend Daniel Reneau went in to steal a safe. When the clerk, Kriss Keeran, didn't comply, Reneau fatally shot him. After the shooting, Wood joined Reneau in the store; they removed the safe and security footage before fleeing. Reneau confessed to the crime and was convicted of capital murder in 1997; he was executed in 2002. Wood faces the same fate Wednesday. Prosecutors argued that Wood knew Reneau would kill Keeran if the clerk didn't cooperate with the robbery and was therefore also liable for the murder. However, testimony in Reneau's trial claimed that Wood had told Reneau to leave his gun at home and saw him put it down. Texas' law of parties allows an accomplice to be charged for a crime he neither committed nor had intent to commit if that crime "should have been anticipated." This newspaper generally has no qualms with ensuring that accomplices pay for a crime they help plan and carry out. However, as applied to capital punishment, we do. Wood, who has an IQ around 80 and has previously been ruled incompetent in court, is certainly not innocent – it's clear he helped plan the robbery and removed security footage after the murder occurred. But that is not the same thing as deserving to die. Supporters of the death penalty argue that it is the appropriate punishment for "the worst of the worst." It's difficult to see how that category includes people like Wood, who did not pull the trigger nor had any intention of doing so. Cases like this reinforce our belief that state-sanctioned killings are arbitrary. Writ large, we are unable to support a punishment that is so unfairly applied, nor one that could result in the execution of an innocent person. The law of parties is a particularly egregious facet of Texas' capital punishment system. Texas is among only five states in the nation that actively pursue such state felony murder statutes. The state has no business executing defendants who were involved in a crime but did not personally take a life. Family members and supporters plan to hand-deliver a "save Jeff Wood" petition with thousands of signatures to Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, who will determine Wood's fate. We hope the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles recommends clemency, and Abbott commutes Wood's sentence. The state of Texas should not execute a man for a crime he did not commit. -Dallas Morning News

How to get Americans to watch Olympics By Tom Purcell

In those two serious policy is. speeches Trump did what my No jokes, please. It’s because at his core he’s father did in Berlin in 1987 at the Brandenburg Gate, an entertainer who’s when he told Mikhail looking for applause, Gorbachev to “Tear not a politician who’s down this Wall!” looking for votes. My father wasn’t Applause makes you merely speaking to the feel good on stage at the huge crowd in front of Improv or at the end of him, he was speaking a Broadway play. But it beyond them to all the doesn’t get you elected. people on the other If Trump really wants side of the Berlin Wall to save what’s left of REAGAN who were not free. Western Civilization Trump has to from four years of President Hillary Clinton, he’s start speaking to a wider, got to learn how to get his broader, larger audience – the independents and Republicans message out to more voters. When he gives his big policy that he’s got to get to vote for him. speeches, he does fine. He needs to do it every day. The addresses he delivered recently about fighting terrorism He can’t slip back to delivering and fixing the economy were his applause lines. We’ve heard those jokes. generally good. We’ll soon see whether They’d make good stump speeches, and he should shorten Trump’s new team of Kellyanne them to 20 minutes and repeat Conway and Steve Bannon can make a difference in his at least one of them every day. But the most important thing behavior or focus. Conway is a pro who knows about those careful, joke-free teleprompter speeches wasn’t what she’s doing. But you can what Trump said or even how hire the best people on the planet and it won’t help if you he said it. It was that he was speaking to don’t listen to them. While Team Trump is in the whole country, not just the a hiring mood, how about people in the auditorium. He wasn’t seeking the instant finding someone who actually approval of the audience with knows how to stage a campaign his “Crooked Hillary” shtick or speech?
When Trump was in Wisconsin earlier this week talking about the economy and how the Democrat Party’s has failed and betrayed black people, I don’t think I saw a single black person. It was incredibly amateurish stagecraft. It’d be like giving an important policy speech about the plight of out-of-work coal miners to an audience of nuns or guys in three-piece suits. I realize Trump isn’t exactly surrounded by black supporters. And I know the part of Wisconsin he was in was 95 percent white. But couldn’t someone in his campaign have found 50 black people to be in the crowd so the media couldn’t react in the knee-jerk way they did? My father’s media genius, the late deputy chief of staff Michael Deaver, would have had a thousand blacks in that audience even if he had had to pay them to be there. Trump has to do a lot more learnin’ and a lot more hirin’. And if he doesn’t do it real soon he’ll be back running his business empire, living a quiet life in Trump Tower and getting in almost as many rounds of golf each week as President Obama. (Michael Reagan is the son of President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant and author.)
Fewer Americans are watching the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro than they did prior Games. I offer a solution. According to The Christian Science Monitor, only 26.5 million Americans watched the Olympics opening ceremony – “a 35 percent drop in viewership from London’s ceremony four years ago and the lowest rating for the event since 1992.” Why the low ratings? For starters, fewer people are watching TV. Anyone under 30 is too busy snapchatting and Facebooking to sit in front of something as outmoded as a television set. America’s waning interest in the Olympics could also be because too many events have been added by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which may be diluting the Olympics brand. Consider: During the very first Olympics in 1896, there were only nine sports. The Rio Olympics are featuring 28, two of which were newly added – golf and rugby sevens. Now I played rugby at Penn State. In my book, its toughness qualifies it as a genuine Olympics sport. But golf? Sure, golf requires precision and smarts. But that’s about it. The better golfers don’t carry their own clubs or even walk. Their caddies do most of the work. Besides, if you can smoke a cigar, sip gin and flirt with your mistress on your smartphone while in the throes of competition, I don’t think that qualifies as an “Olympics-level” event. Nonetheless, the IOC, eager to appeal to younger audiences, keeps expanding its list of sports. In fact, the IOC just announced that it will add five events to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. In addition to the return of baseball/softball, there will be karate, rock climbing, skateboarding and surfing – to which I respond, ”Cowabunga, dude!” Now I know that the games are – or are supposed to be – about excellence, sacrifice and commitment. I know they’re supposed to be about athletes pushing themselves beyond their physical limits. But Americans have gone soft over the years. We’re no longer as interested in “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat” as we are about instant gratification, junk food, adult beverages and figuring out new schemes by which we can get “the rich” to fund more “free” government goodies. If the IOC wants Americans to tune back in, it needs to include more “sports” that appeal to what we have become. Which is why the IOC should add Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest to the Olympics lineup. (Tom Purcell is an author and humor columnist.)

Getting ducks in a row

Bluebonnet Elementary teachers and paraprofessionals cheer one another on as they compete to move toilet paper across the room without using their hands. The ice-breaking game is meant to inspire cooperation and outside-the-box strategies as the campus enters the new year. By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer
BRAND/C.E. Hanna
First-year teacher Christopher Martinez, above, and veteran teacher Cassie Foster, below, attempt to transport bathroom tissue across the library during team-building exercises at Bluebonnet Elementary.
While students still have a few fleeting days of summer vacation before them, Hereford Independent School District (HISD) teachers have already reported back to their respective campuses. According to Bluebonnet Elementary principal Linda Gonzalez, many of her staff never truly left. “People tend to believe that teachers just show up on the same day as the kids, but there’s a lot of work that has to happen before the first day,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez estimates that 99 percent of her staff has prepared classrooms for the forthcoming year, leaving the days to Aug. 22’s first day for instructional preparation. First-year special educa-
tion teacher Christopher Martinez said he completed his classroom alterations two weeks ago. “I’ll spend the next few days meeting with teams, planning and reviewing IEPs [Individual Education Programs],” Martinez said. “I’ll also get to know the staff since I’ll be going into their rooms and figuring out where all the resources on campus are located.” Fourth-grade teacher Melanie Mendiola will spend the upcoming days, when she is not occupied with team-building exercises and “refreshers” on campus expectations, learning to incorporate new technologies into the classroom. Successfully implementing technology is critical to engaging students and making the teacher’s lessons meaningful for students,
she said. “The big thing at the start of every year is to reach out and get parents involved,” Mendiola said. “We really want them to know that they’re always welcome.” Bluebonnet Elementary hosted an Open House on Aug. 18., from 4:30-5:30 p.m., and some teachers worked up to the last minute. Kindergarten teacher Adriana Moreno, who recently switched from English to bilingual classes, was one of those working late because finding bilingual decorations and instructional materials proved challenging.
“Bilingual stuff is very limited in terms of selection and availability,” Moreno said. “I’m converting all my signage to Spanish, and I’m still trying to find out exactly what I’m doing with my room.” Ultimately, Bluebonnet’s teachers are prepared and looking forward to meeting their students before getting down to business. “I’m trying to stay positive and say that there won’t be any challenges,” Mendiola said. “If there are, then we’ll overcome them and go on. “It’s going to be a great year, and we’re ready to go.”

MEET THE HERD 2016
Section Weekend Edition August 20-21, 2016
Big wins even netters’ record From Staff Reports The season’s biggest win to date capped a victorious Tuesday visit to Lubbock for Hereford tennis teams. In notching impressive 16-2 and 14-5 wins over Brownfield and Lubbock Cooper, respectively, the Herd extended its winning streak to five to even the season record at 5-5. “Cooper is a good team and is the best win we have had this year,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “We were very clutch in close matches – going 7-0 in third-set tiebreaks. “As the season progresses, I think the third-set matches will eventually tell the story on whether or not we go to the Area tournament.” Highlighting the sweep was the continued strong play out of the gate by the familiar-name-new-face duo of Addi Ferris and Erin Jesko. As the girls No. 1 doubles tandem, they extended their match win streak to eight with 6-1, 6-2 and 6-1, 6-0 victories, while also winning both their respective singles matches. The Herd took control early against Brownfield with a sweep of the seven doubles matches after boys No. 1 Tom Keeling and Caden Victor overcame a 3-6 first-set loss to win in a third-set tiebreaker. Also notching third-set wins were No. 3 boys singles Brenden James, No. 4 boys

Enrique Saenz and No. 4 girls singles Priscilla Castillo. The only losses to Brownfield were by Victor at No. 5 boys (4-6, 2-6) and Kara Esquivel at No. 1 girls (4-6, 5-7). “Brownfield is a smaller school, but has a lot of tennis tradition,” Crouch said. “We came out fast and played really well in doubles. “Once double was done, it was too much for [Brownfield] to come back from, and we cruised.” Doubles against Cooper was a different story. Keeling and Victor scrambled out of an 0-6 firstset hole to again win in a tiebreaker, but losses at No. 3 boys, as well as No. 2 and No. 3 girls, had the match tied at 3-3 before Tommy Villalovos and Aubrey Schueler gave the Herd the lead for good with a 6-1, 6-2 win in mixed doubles. The Whitefaces put the match away in singles with only Keeling (3-6, 1-6) at No. 1 boys and Schueler (6-8) at No. 6 girls falling. The Herd opened play in the Amarillo Team Tournament on Thursday with an early look at new District 3-5A foe Plainview. The tournament concluded Friday, after press time. The team remains on the road next week with a match Saturday against Rider and Old High. The next home match is set for Tuesday, Aug. 30 when Amarillo comes in to open the district season.

Relay for Life honors $30K in 2016 fundraising By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer
BRAND/John Carson
Members of the Auxiliary of VFW Post 4818 in Hereford got on board the back-to-school train Monday by making stops at local schools to leave donations of supplies collected by the VFW and Auxiliary. Pencils, paper, notebooks, crayons, scissors, glue, lunch boxes and more were among items left at all Hereford Independent School District elementary schools, Stanton Learning Center and St. Anthony’s Catholic School. Pictured, from left, school secretary Lori Page, VFW’s Erma Murphey, school representative Sandra Maldonado, and Terrye Rhyne and Reta Reinart of the VFW celebrate Monday’s first stop at Aikman Elemenatry.
When the going gets tough, the tough fight back with a vengeance to the tune of almost $30,000 raised during the past year for Deaf Smith County Relay for Life (RFL). The county sported nine Relays teams – made up of 113 participants and 17 cancer survivors – which celebrated their fundraising efforts with a recent party and survivors’ dinner at Sugarland Mall. “It’s the American Cancer Society’s signature event,” RFL community manager Debi Shugar said. “It’s a celebration of the teams for all of their hard work throughout the year and some will even do fundraising there.” While Shugar stressed that it is not a competition,
the organization does recognize the teams that raised the most money, including Hereford Independent School District’s HERD for a Cure, King’s Manor, First Financial Bank, FirstBank Southwest and Hereford Regional Medical Center’s Happy Feet, in the campaign that collected $29,824. RFL also recognized its $1,000 top sponsors, First Financial Bank and FirstBank Southwest. The RFL season begins
anew Sept. 1. “We’re always in need of new teams,” Shugar said. “We’d love for everyone in the whole community to be a part of it. “So many have been touched by cancer and this is a great way to fight back.” Interested teams – friends, family, businesses and organizations – should visit www.relayforlife.org/ deafsmithtx to register. Teams are responsible for creating their own fundraising ideas and opportunities. RFL also need volunteers for planning the annual celebration, Shugar said. “There’s always the party planning aspect—what are we going to do? Where are we going to have it?” she said. “We always need people in that respect as well.”
“When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Is Religious Division Necessary? Today, let’s look at the topic “Religious Division”. If you ask anyone who is attending a religious group why they chose that particular group, you might get a variety of answers. Some might say that that’s where their parents attended or it feels comfortable or I like their music or that’s where my friends attend or they have a great youth program for my children. You will hear many different answers, but let’s look what the Bible says about religious division. If all Christians were to be united in that one body, the church, (Ephesians 1:22, 23, 4:4), then why is it necessary that barriers be erected which divide followers of Christ today? 1. It was not Christ’s plan! We read in John 14:6 –“I am the way the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” Just before Jesus’ betrayal and crucifixion Jesus prayed to God for unity; John 17: 11, 20, 21. “I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.” Vs. 20, 21 says; “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may be one; even as You Father are in Me and I in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” 2. It was not in the apostles’ teachings! In Paul’s letter to Christians in Corinth he stated; in I Corinthians 1: 10 “Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.” Paul wrote to the Galatian Christians; Galatians 1: 6-9; “I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you another gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before. So I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!” Paul also wrote in Ephesians 4:4-6:; “There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” Religious division is just another tool that the devil has in his arsenal to confuse and discourage followers of Christ from reaching their desired goal of obtaining eternal life with God in heaven.
