Aikman students examine heavens
From Staff Reports
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
A workshop attended by a Hereford Independent School District (HISD) teacher has literally opened the heavens to education for students at Aikman Elementary School (AES). For the second consecutive year, fifth-grade students at AES had the opportunity to get up close to heavenly bodies thanks to the continuing education efforts of teacher Kelly Goodin and an outreach program provided by the 3 Rivers Foundation and its Comanche Springs Astronomy Campus. “I went to one of their teacher workshops two years ago and found out about their outreach program,” Goodin said. “It was something I thought would work great for us.” Volunteers from 3 Rivers and Comanche Springs pulled into town Monday with a trailer bearing high-tech telescopes to provide Goodin’s students with a pair of unique opportunities. During a virtually cloudless day Monday, students had the chance to get a good look at the closest star to Earth – the sun. Viewing the sun requires special telescopic equipment, which Comanche Springs provided, and allowed students to view the solar system’s power source in all its nuclear fusion glory. In addition to not being blinded by gazing at the sun, the activity PLEASE SEE STARS | 2
Walcott school board on ballot

Aikman Elementary fifth-grader Aileen Sandoval takes a long look at the closest star to planet Earth – the sun – during a special presentation Monday at the school.
While elections set for Saturday, May 6 will be dominated by city commission and mayor races in Hereford and four seats on the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees, they are not the only canvassing that will take place that day. All three seats on the Wildorado Independent School District (WISD) are also up for grabs. Unusual that an entire board is on a single ballot, WISD found itself in an unusual position as this election cycle rolled around. The reason for the anomaly is that two board members were appointed shortly after the 2015 election, and state law requires such appointees to run for the office during the next available election. Under normal conditions, the seats currently held by appointees Sam White and Kevin Brown would not be up again until 2019 – the usual four-year term. However, state mandates puts those seats on the block, as well as that of Lucy McGowan, whose 2013 term is expiring. With WISD elections scheduled for odd-number years, WISD Superintendent Bill McLaughlin said a decision has yet to be made on which of the two current appointees’ seats will be for only two years to provide the staggered terms needed to prevent a potential full turnover of board members. “One of those will have to be a two-year term so we can return to the staggered system,” McLaughlin said. “We’ll probably have to flip a coin to decide which one.” WISD contains an elementary school housing grades 1-6 and is currently home to 138 students. The board is elected completely at-large. Qualifying for the board seats opened last month and runs through Friday, Feb. 17. As of Thursday, no one has filed for any of the seats, according to McLaughlin, who has been WISD superintendent since 1986. “We always manage to get [candidates],” he said. “We only have 70 registered voters here, but we have had some tight races. “I don’t know how it might be this time, but I do expect the current members to file [for re-election]. They just haven’t yet.”

This way, they can actually see the solar flares moving and exploding off the sun’s surface.” While the day-time looks at the sun were predominantly exclusive to AES fifth-graders, additional viewings Monday evening were open to all HISD students. As dusk waned and night fell upon Hereford,
students were able to get views of craters on the moon and the crescent image of the morning and evening star – which is actually Earth’s closest planetary neighbor, Venus. With darkening skies, students were also able to gaze at other stars, including details of the Orion nebula. Goodin added that plans are to continue the visits from Comanche Springs – with hopes
of moving it to the fall where more planets and stars are visible, including the chance to see the rings around Saturn. In all, she said the experience only strengthens student education. “Books are wonderful, but it is much more exciting to see it live,” Goodin said. “It is very hands-on. Just being to see things like that gives students a better understanding of what they are learning.”

In the words of those who nominated her, “she is the epitome of Catholic education.” Bezner hailed from a St. Anthony Parish family that included 11 siblings – six of which graduated from St. Anthony School. A total of 38 family members including her siblings, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews have attended St. Anthony School. One of the nominating letters describes Bezner as “an outstanding example of the way we should all live to serve. She is a devout and Godly woman. Her happiness and goodness flows through her heart into all who cross her path. The true happiness you see in her eyes is because she truly lives the life she loves.” The theme for Catho-
lic Schools Week 2017 was “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service,” and St. Anthony School officials said Bezner exemplified that faith, knowledge and service.

Local livestock show season opens with a bang Hereford Livestock Show Association
From Staff Reports The local 2017 livestock show season is off and running after the Hereford Livestock Show Association’s annual show last month at Deaf Smith County Bull Barn. The show featured 185 entries as breed, grand and reserve champions were crowned in six separate categories. A trio of showmanship titles – junior, intermediate and senior – were also given out in four categories. The two-day event opened Jan. 13 as the largest category – pigs – entered the ring with a total of 77 entries. Harrison Meador claimed the Hampshire breed crown on his way being tabbed swine grand champion. Keeton Caperton, who captured the White OPB breed title, was named swine reserve champion. The Pig Showmanship honors went to Meador (junior), Aven (intermediate) and Keeling (senior) The remaining five categories hit the ring Jan. 14. In a 23-entry field for rabbits, Libby Wagner and Brad Turpen emerged as grand and reserve champions. Turpen captured both breed champion and reserve for Commercial rabbits and also took reserve for Fancy. Wagner won the Fancy breed title. Turpen also took home the senior Rabbit Showmanship award with Avery Detten and Avery Dance winning for intermediate and junior, respectively. Bennett Vogel won the grand championship as Matlin Mimms was named reserve for the 24-entry goat competition, and Cutter Pohlman and Macie Mimms was the grand and reserve for a five-member heifer show. Vogel (junior), Matlin Mimms (junior) and Macie Mimms (senior) were the Goat Showmanship winners. The Lamb Showmanship honors went to Avery Detten (junior), Rachael Detten (intermediate) and Sam Lookingbill (senior). A total of 25 entries graced the Steer Show as Corbin Marsh swept grand and reserve champions with his British and Exotic entries, respectively. Marsh also won breed titles for British and Exotic with Will Sims earning the British breed reserve and Mikaila Beavers taking Exotic reserve. Marsh had little trouble sweeping the American breed top honors as the only two entries. In addition to his British breed reserve honor, Sims received the First Year Cattle Showman award. Showmanship honors for steers went to Addison Carlson (junior), Clara Sims (intermediate) and Pohlman (senior).

Silken Chicken A family meal that packs a light, flavorful punch Many people aspire to eat light meals that satisfy hunger pangs without creating feelings of fullness. Some may assume light meals must be lacking flavor, but the following recipe for “Silken Chicken” from Madhur Jaffrey’s “Quick & Easy Indian Cooking” (Chronicle Books) is light and packs that familiar flavorful punch that endears Indian cuisine to millions of people across the globe. Silken Chicken, Serves 2 to 4 For marinating the chicken: 4 boned, skinned chicken breast halves (about 11/4 pounds) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon homemade garam masala (see below) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground roasted cumin seeds (see below) 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed to a pulp 1/2 teaspoon peeled, finely grated fresh ginger For sprinkling over the chicken: Salt as needed Freshly ground black pepper A little homemade garam masala A little ground roasted cumin seed A little cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon dried mint flakes Generous squeezes of fresh lemon juice Preheat the oven to its highest temperature and arrange a shelf in the top third of the oven. Cut 3 diagonal slits across the top of each piece of chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through and also not to go to the edge. Prick the chicken pieces with the sharp point of a small knife. Put them in a single layer in a large baking dish and rub both sides with the salt and lemon juice. Leave for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cream with the garam masala, cayenne, cumin seeds, paprika, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Stir this mixture well and pour it over the chicken. Rub it into the meat and leave for 10 minutes. Lift the chicken pieces up (most of the marinade will cling to them) and place them down in a single layer in a shallow baking pan lined with aluminum foil. On top of each, sprinkle a little salt, black pepper, garam masala, ground roasted cumin seed, cayenne, dried mint, and lemon juice. Put into the top third of the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is just white all the way through. Serve immediately, minted side up. Garam Masala 1 tablespoon cardamom seeds 1 2-inch cinnamon stick 1/3 of one nutmeg 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 teaspoon black cumin seeds 1 teaspoon whole cloves Place ingredients into a clean coffee or spice grinder and ground to a powder. To make ground roasted cumin seeds: Put 4 to 5 tablespoons of the whole seeds into a small cast-iron frying pan and set over medium heat. Stir the seeds and roast them over dry heat until they turn a few shades darker and emit a wonderful roasted aroma. Wait for them to cool slightly and then grind them in a clean coffee or spice grinder. Store in a tightly closed jar.

Whitefaces still on the playoff trail By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor Despite a 29-point loss Tuesday to Palo Duro, the Hereford Whitefaces remained in the thick of the District 3-5A playoff hunt. Tuesday’s victory allowed the Dons, who were in second place at 8-2 heading into Friday’s action, to join league-leading Amarillo (10-0) with guaranteed postseason berths.
From there, the District 3-5A race is just that. Four teams are tight in the mix for the two remaining playoff spots with just a game separating the quartet. Thanks to a head-to-head Longhorn win Tuesday, Caprock and Plainview were tied for third at 5-5, while Hereford and Canyon were knotted for the fourth spot at 4-6 heading into play Friday. With wins over Caprock and
Plainview already in hand, the Whitefaces were arguably in the most-enviable position of the four as the regular season heads down the home stretch. “The best thing about the situation is we control our own destiny,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “All we have to do is win, and we’re in. “The thing you like is, as of [Thursday], we don’t need anyone’s help to get in. It’s all on us, and that’s the way you want

Dons run past Whitefaces From Staff Reports
From Staff Reports AMARILLO – Despite winning the first and fourth quarters, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces fell victim to a middlequarter swoon Tuesday as Palo Duro pulled away for a 70-48 win as the District 3-5A season winds down. The Lady Herd was unable to maintain a firstquarter lead in dropping their fifth in a row to fall to 11-17 overall and 3-9 in league play. “We needed to take better care of the ball,” Hereford coach Christy Connally said. “We tried to force things at times. The final quarter we picked up our energy on defense and converted their turnovers into points.” Sparked by a pair of 3-pointers by Lindsey Carrillo and another from Haleigh Barba, the Lady Whitefaces took a 16-14 lead into the second period. The Lady Dons responded with a 19-6 spurt to take the lead for good and a 33-22 edge into intermission. They effectively put the game out of reach with a 22-point, thirdquarter surge.

The Lady Whitefaces scored only 14 total points in the second and third quarters while the Lady Dons put up 41 during that span. The Lady Herd bounced back some to take the fourth period, 18-15.

AMARILLO – Using buzzer-beaters at the end of the first and second quarters to take a lead, the Palo Duro Dons pressed the advantage home in the second half Tuesday to post a 61-32 win over visiting Hereford in District 3-5A play. The loss dropped the Whitefaces to 11-14 overall, but still in the district playoff chase at 4-6. “We gave them opportunities to run out and get lay-ups in the second half,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said, “and they took advantage of it. We had a lot more turnovers than we wanted, and they made the most of them.” After getting a basket at the buzzer to end the first quarter to take a 12-9 lead, the Dons knocked down a 3-pointer at the horn for a 26-21 halftime lead. Palo Duro strung together a 35-11 run over the final two quarters to clinch a district playoff berth going away. “I thought we defended well,” Villegas said. “It was just the mistakes. That and [leading scorer] Parker Lowrey only had 6 points, and [guard] Caleb Martinez followed a 16-point game Friday with just 3.” Three Dons hit double figures with Azuel Kot coming off the bench to take game scoring honors with 19 points. Jalen Thomas added 18 points, while Bonaventure Udoh chipped in 10. No Whitefaces reached double digits as Bo Baker posted a team-high 7 points. Lowrey finished

The Dons hampered Lowrey on the offensive end with double teams and a solid defensive effort on the block. “They did a good job on him,” Villegas said. “When that happens, we
have to move him away from the basket. We need to work more high-lows and pick-and-rolls to move the double-team out. “The key to that is we need to finish and have others step up.” PLEASE SEE BOYS | 8

PLAYOFF: FROM PAGE 7
Caprock before traveling to Canyon on Friday and finishing the year at Plainview on Feb. 14. Meanwhile, Plainview, which had spent most of the season alone in third place, hosted Randall Friday and are at Canyon on Tuesday. Between that and the season finale against the Herd, the Bulldogs take a road trip to Palo Duro on Feb. 10. Caprock visited Canyon on Friday in a key battle and hosted Amarillo on Feb. 10. The Horns close it out with a trip to Randall. After entertaining Caprock on Friday, the
Eagles host Plainview (Tuesday) and the Herd on Feb. 10, then they finish their playoff run on the road at Amarillo on Feb. 14. “We’re lucky that we’ve already gotten the top two teams out of the way,” Villegas said. “We don’t have to worry about playing either of them down the stretch. The other teams involved do.” Villegas was also quick to note that while currently on the outside looking in, Randall – which is just a game behind at 3-7 – could jump back into the hunt with wins down the stretch.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Where did Satan come from? Has he always existed…or is he a being that God created? And if he was created, when did this occur? Scripture does not tell us much about this, but today we will look at what we are told. The phrase “in the beginning” refers to the beginning of time as we know it, the time when God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1-2 and John 1:1-3. From these verses, we know that God was there, and the Spirit of God was there, and Jesus was there – and all were involved in the creation. We are not told specifically when angels were created. Many commentators believe that Psalms 33:6 refers to the creation of angels. “By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all of the host of them, by the breath of his mouth”. There is a similar statement in Genesis 2:1. All of the host of them could refer to angels….but it also might mean the number of things that make up the heavens, ie other planets, stars, galaxies, etc. We do know that Satan existed by Genesis chapter 3, where we have the account of Eve’s temptation. In Luke 10:18, Christ said “I saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven”. Jude 6 reads “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgement of the great day”. II Peter 2:4 “For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell (Tartarus). I John 3:8 “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil”. From these verses: (1) Angels were likely created after God had created man, and all other things. They were not equal to or greater than Christ (Hebrews Chapter 1). And they were ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14) (2) Angels had free will choice to obey God or not. They could… and some did… sin. (3) One of them is called Satan and the devil, and he had followers. (4) Satan and all of the disobedient angels were cast out of heaven. We need to know about Satan, and more lessons will follow. We offer a free, personal bible study that is beneficial for anybody….young or old….and whether you know something about the bible or nothing at all. The study is simple because God’s word is simple. To find out more about this study, call 344-7147 or 344-4070. If you don’t have a bible, we will give you one. These messages are brought to you by members of the Church of Christ, located on the corner of Sunset and Plains, in Hereford TX. We meet every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.
