Summit focus on agrinomics By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Frigid Friday BRAND/John Carson
Residents of Hereford and Deaf Smith County awoke to a winter wonderland Friday as a late Thursday evening and earlymorning snow storm left its calling card blanketing the area. Snow – up to 2 inches and more in some locales – were joined by high temperatures in the teens, lows in single digits and wind chills below 0 for most of the day. The good news was forecast had the snow melting Saturday before highs in the mid-upper 60s for most of next week. Love that High Plains weather, what?
Bolstered by success of last year’s inaugural event, the Deaf Smith-Oldham County Farm Bureau will host its second Ag Economic Summit on Tuesday at Hereford Community Center. The summit is designed to give local agricultural producers an opportunity to expand their knowledge and gain new information and insights into the economics of their industry. “Last year was a success,” Farm Bureau vice president Jared Blankenship said. “Hopefully, our timing is a little better this year. We did it last year in March, and by then, farmers already crops in the fields.” Moving of the date to early January is not only expected to attract more local producers to the summit, but allowed the event to tie into the bureau’s annual student Ag Day at Deaf Smith County Bull Barn. Blankenship said both events are designed to raise awareness that the Farm Bureau is much, much more than what most people think – an insurance company. Admitting that insurance is a part of the bureau, Blankenship was quick to add it is not the only or most important of what there is to offer. “We want to focus on different things in the summit,” he said. “Most producers are good are what they do, and very little really changes in that process. “However, the economics of agriculture is the greatest challenge facing producers – and ultimately, their weakest area of expertise.” While providing information and insight into trends and developments in production, the summit spotlight is honed on the post-production economics of the industry. One of the reasons for the importance of such information, Blankenship said, is producers are facing a variety of sometimes often-changing risks with an ever-narrowing margin of error. “Education never ceases,” Blankenship said. “We want to get the needed information to producers. We want to equip them with all the tools available to minimize risks and enhance profitability. “In essence, the summit will allow for improvements in producers’ marketing plans.” The summit, which starts at noon, will feature an economic overlook for livestock in 2017, as well as a marketing strategies and tools session by James Miller of SW Agribusiness Consulting. The afternoon will wrap with presentation of the Texas Farm Bureau issues to be presented to the state legislature and U.S. Congress. That session will provide local producers info on what the bureau will be doing on state and federal levels for the coming year. Blankenship added that the Deaf Smith-Oldham office will be sending a contingent to both Austin and Washington, D.C., in the coming months to help spread agriculture’s local message to state and national lawmakers.
County approves financial assistance for food pantry By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer The relocation of Hereford Food Pantry was on the agenda during the last Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court (DSCCC) meeting held Dec. 27, 2016. The discussion was part of an early Dec. meeting regarding the county annex building across Schely Street from the court-
house. Discussion surrounded a “tentative agreement” the county has with Texas Federal Credit Union (TFCU) on the property. County Judge D.J. Wagner reported the issue had come to light after TFCU expressed renewed interest in the property following news of pending relocation of the building’s occupants. The agreement would

Lee in a building specifically donated to the food pantry by long time county resident Joe Ward.
While the food pantry is a non-profit organization, Wagner reminded commissioners the county is required to provide indigent assistance. The pantry, which serves some 300 county residents on a monthly basis, provides a majority of that requirement. “They [food pantry] are moving to a very nice PLEASE SEE COUNTY | 2

Year's first birth a delayed debut By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer For some, the start of the new year is meant for new beginnings, and no where is that more illustrated than by the parents of the first baby born in Deaf Smith County in 2017. Arriving two days into the new year, Scarlet Madeline Benavides was born to Jaime and Cyla Benavides at 2:50 a.m. under the care of Dr. Joseph Graves at Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC). Scarlet weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and measured 20.5 inches long. Cyla found out she would be expecting her second child in March and couldn’t be more excited to bring a sibling home to their first daughter 2-yearold Allene. Cyla’s pregnancy with Scarlet went by with no problems or concerns, but she would soon find out that Scarlet would be doing things her own way and on her own time in true diva fashion. “I had an easy pregnancy,” Cyla said. “A bit of
nausea here and there. A lot of heartburn towards the end.” Going into labor early New Year’s Day, Cyla expected the arrival of her baby girl before the night would end, but after several hours, she knew it would happen when the baby was ready. Scarlet came into the world minutes before Dr. Graves was able to reach mom’s room, proving things would be done her way. “She born before he even made it into the room,” Cyla said. “He was preparing for her delivery, on his way. She just didn’t want to wait. “She’s stubborn like her big sister.” For mom and dad, the birth of their girl was the perfect way to start 2017. Though plans for a third child are not set, they hope to have a boy in the near future. As a welcoming gift, Scarlet was a given a handmade crocheted blanket provided HRMC Auxiliary Ladies. “We had a positive experience,” Cyla said. “The staff at HRMC is always so

Local gas price nearing state average From Staff Reports Average retail gasoline prices in Texas have risen 5.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.13 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 13,114 gas outlets in Texas. This compares with the national average that has increased 5.6 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.34 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. Fortunately, prices in Hereford continued to remain below the state and national average, but have been trending closer to the state average. After several months where local

building provided by Mr. Ward,” Wagner said. “In doing that they are kind of out of our umbrella. “Since they do provide a service for our county, I believe that we need to continue to provide for them.” As part of the indigent assistance, Wagner asked commissioners to continue to provide assistance in utilities and insurance for the new location in the sum of $5,000 for the year. In return for DSCCC contribution, Hereford Food Pantry will provide food assistance for a minimum of 150 county residents on average per month. Avoiding the hassle of monthly payments, commissioners agreed to a onetime payment of the entire amount to be provided to food pantry’s board of directors. “I believe for the service they [food pantry] provide, we are getting a good deal,” Wagner said. “This is not a donation, it’s a contribution.”
gas prices were 9-18 cents per gallon less expensive than the state average, Monday saw regular unleaded averaging $2.09 per gallon in Hereford. Including the change in gas prices in Texas during the past week, prices were 39.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 19.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has risen during the last month and stands 35.4 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago. According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on Jan. 3 in Texas have ranged widely over the last five years – $1.74 per gallon in 2016, $1.98 in
2015, $3.14 in 2014, $3.12 in 2013 and $3.09 in 2012. “In 2016, motorists spent an average $2.13 per gallon on gasoline, the cheapest yearly average since 2004, and 28 cents lower than 2015, but if motorists made a resolution to pay less in 2017, they either broke it already or aren’t planning on driving for a while. While nearly 100,000 gas stations in the country were selling for $1.99 per gallon a year ago, fewer than 3,000 are today. Though we may see rising gas prices take a brief break in early February, we’re unlikely to come anywhere close to last year’s low levels,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

Austin C. Rose Jr. 1925-2017
wife Jan; daughter Kim Rose; sister Joyce Johnson of Austin; grandchildren James, Will, Rachel and Dre' Rose; and greatgrandchildren Emma and Clayton Rose. Austin was born Oct. 8, 1925 in Spur. He was the sixth of seven children born to Austin C. Rose Sr. and Susan Annie Johnson Rose, a farming and ranching family in the Dickens County community of McAdoo. Austin learned hard work early as his father purchased land and began farming in the Sims community of Deaf Smith County in 1936. He, along with his father and brother, worked summers, camping out in the back of grain trucks while putting in a crop. In 1944, Austin entered the U.S. Army and had just completed paratrooper training and was about to ship overseas when VJ Day occurred. He returned home, enrolling in Texas Tech University. In the summer of 1949, Austin was hauling grain to a local elevator when he met the love of his life, Helen Acker, who was weighing trucks at the elevator. Austin and Helen married June 17, 1950. After graduating from Tech, they committed their lives to supporting their family and community. Austin and Helen were married 56 years. Austin was a member of First Presbyterian Church of Hereford, serving as a deacon in 1995, elder in 1993 and trustee from 198086. He was president of Hereford Chamber of Commerce in 1964,

Floyd McGee Jr. 1930-2017

A few years after Floyd was born, his family moved from Shawnee to Tuttle, Okla., then about 1946, they moved to Hereford, where Floyd attended Hereford High School. Before graduating in 1949, he played on the football and basketball teams and served as senior class president. He then attended Amarillo Junior College for two years and Abilene Christian College for a semester, where he initially met his future wife, Patt Egger. In 1951, he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard and spent three years in active duty at Port Angeles, Wash., where he trained in fire and water rescue and was also the star on the Port Angeles Coast Guard Air Station Flyers basketball team, earning him the nickname of “Tex McGee.” In 1954, he left Coast Guard active duty and moved to Lubbock, where he attended and graduated from Texas Tech University with a pre-law and finance degree. He remained in the Coast Guard Reserves until
1962, when he received an honorable discharge. It was in Lubbock where Floyd and Patt reconnected and married on Oct. 19, 1956. They moved to Waco, where Floyd spent one year at Baylor Law School, but deciding to go in a different career direction. They moved back to Lubbock, where he took a job with New York Life Insurance. In 1968, he received a promotion and was transferred to Dallas, where he built the house where he lived until his passing. After a few years, he resigned from New York Life to pursue self-employment as a general contractor, a job he loved until he finally retired around 2010. Floyd served several years as a deacon for Northside Church of Christ and on the board of Christian Services of the Southwest (now ChristianWorks for Children) before eventually placing membership at Prestoncrest in the early 1980s, where he remained an active member until his passing. He lost his beloved
Patt to leukemia on March 28, 2011 after nearly 55 years together. Floyd was a devoted Christian and a faithful member of the Church of Christ. He was a devoted husband of nearly 55 years and a loving father to five very fortunate children. He had a kind and gentle spirit and exhibited the love of Christ through his life. He had a smile for everyone he met and was loved by all who knew him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Gertrude McGee; wife Patt McGee; and sisters Eva Mae Livesay and Doris Hardin. He is survived by his children, Gina Lyon, Charlotte McGee, Jeff McGee and wife Donna, Christi McGee Guenther, and Scott McGee; grandchildren Ashley and Donald McGee, and Raleigh and Rachel Guenther; sister Naomi Walker; and brother Dwight McGee and wife Robin. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to ChristianWorks for Children at christian-works.org.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN AIR QUALITY STANDARD PERMIT REGISTRATION PROPOSED AIR QUALITY REGISTRATION NO. 143985 APPLICATION Watson's Longhorn Feedlot Construction, Inc., has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for an Air Quality Standard Permit, Registration No. 143985, which would authorize construction of a Concrete Batch Plant located at 3510 West Highway 60, Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Texas 79045. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to application. http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/index.html?lat=34.796961&lng=102.422093&zoom=13&type=r. The proposed facility will emit the following air contaminants: particulate matter including (but not limited to) aggregate, cement, road dust, and particulate matter with diameters of 10 microns or less and 2.5 microns or less. This application was submitted to the TCEQ on November 10, 2016. The application will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, the TCEQ Amarillo regional office, and the Deaf Smith County Library, 211 East 4th Street, Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Texas, beginning the first day of publication of this notice. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review in the Amarillo regional office of the TCEQ. The executive director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING You may submit public comments, a request for a public meeting, or request a contested case hearing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. The TCEQ will consider all public comments in developing a final decision on the application. The deadline to submit public comments is 15 days after newspaper notice is published. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the TCEQ’s jurisdiction to consider in the permit process. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or ask questions about the application. A public meeting about the application will be held if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. If only comments are received on the application, the response to comments, along with notice of the executive director’s action on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted comments or is on the mailing list for this application. The executive director will complete the technical review, issue a preliminary decision on the application, and a Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the final deadline for submitting public comments. If a hearing request is timely filed in Response to this Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Air Permit, the time period for requesting a contested case hearing will be extended to thirty days after the mailing of the executive director’s response to comments. After the final deadline for public comments following the Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. If any comments are received, the response to comments, along with the executive director’s decision on the application, will then be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who is on a mailing list for this application, unless the application is directly referred to a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING You may request a contested case hearing. The applicant or the executive director may also request that the application be directly referred to a contested case hearing after technical review of the application. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. Unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed within 15 days from this notice, the executive director may approve the application. If no hearing request is received within this 15 day period, no further opportunity for hearing will be provided. A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on those issues submitted during the public comment period and not withdrawn. A person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility is entitled to request a hearing. To request a hearing, a person must actually reside in a permanent residence within 440 yards of the proposed plant. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number; (2) applicant’s name and Registration Number; (3) the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing;” (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public; (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; (6) a description of how you use the property which may be impacted by the facility; and (7) a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period. If the request is made by a group or association, one or more members who have standing to request a hearing must be identified by name and physical address. The interests which the group or association seeks to protect must also be identified. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns. Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing within 15 days following this notice to the Office of the Chief Clerk, at the address below. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material air quality concerns submitted during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction to address in this proceeding. MAILING LIST In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive future public notices for this specific application mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk by sending a written request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION Public comments and requests must be submitted either electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments. html, or in writing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, P.O.

Shooting woes keep plaguing Whitefaces From Staff Reports
From Staff Reports
AMARILLO – A fourthquarter surge allowed the Randall Lady Raiders to hold on down the stretch Tuesday to nab a 65-57 win over Hereford as the 2017 portion of the District 3-5A slate opened. The Lady Whitefaces dropped to 8-12 overall with the loss and remained winless in league play at 0-4. “I thought we played with a lot of heart,” Hereford coach Christy Connally said. “We got down in the first, but came back within two. “We went up by six at the start of the third quarter, but got into trouble turning the ball over to let Randall tie it up heading into the fourth.” Sam Lookingbill came off the bench to drain a pair of 3-pointers to silence a firstquarter Lady Raider run. Trailing 28-27 at the half, the Lady Herd took their biggest lead of the game before the Lady Raiders knotted it at 44-44 to enter the fourth. “We missed on converting lay-ups and not finishing at the basket that would have given us leads,” Connally said. “Then we needed to foul towards the end of the game to regain possession.” The need to foul proved costly when the Lady Whitefaces trailed 60-57 with 30 seconds to play. In an attempt to stop the clock and get the ball back with a foul, a planned hack turned into a push from behind – which was called an intentional foul. Between the two free throws, retaining possession and adding another basket, the Lady Raiders were able to close the game out. Lexi Escobal found her range again to lead the Lady

Lori Arias (10) battles for a rebound Tuesday as the Lady Whitefaces dropped a District 3-5A game to Randall, 65-57. Whitefaces with 19 points – 12 in the first half. Lookingbill nailed a trio of treys to account for her 9 points, and Faith Castaneda also scored 9 on a secondquarter 3-pointer and three second-half buckets. Lindsey Carrillo scored all 7 of her points in the third period. The Lady Herd hit 8 3-pointers on the night with Escobal, Lookingbill, Carrillo, Liz Ramirez and Castaneda all connecting from behind the arc. The Lady Whitefaces hosted Palo Duro in district play Friday after press time.
After a Tuesday visit to Dumas, the Lady Herd opens a three-game homestand with Caprock (Jan. 13), Canyon (Jan. 17) and Plainview (Jan. 20) coming to town.

AMARILLO – Problems with putting the ball in the bucket continued to nip the hooves of the Hereford Whitefaces in Tuesday’s, 53-32, loss to Randall in District 3-5A action. Another poor shooting effort – combined with an off-night by star Parker Lowrey – doomed the Herd as they fell to 7-10 overall and 0-2 in league play. “I felt we could have shot a lot better,” Hereford C.J. Villegas said. “We had open looks. We just couldn’t convert them like we should have. “When you play a team that likes to go zone, you have to make shots.” Randall’s Luke Young nailed four second-quarter 3-pointers and scored all of his game-high 14 points in the first half to stake the Raiders to a 30-16 lead that was never threatened. Raider Kirby Wood went 6-for-6 from the foul line and scored all 9 of his points in a third period that saw the Randall lead stretch to 47-24.
