Barela wants no 'perceived negative' over super vote By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer The Sept. 9 vote by the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees to name Sheri Blankenship superintendent was not unanimous. In fact, Blankenship was approved by a 4-3 vote of the seven-member board. The most notable of the dissenters was board

County, city set to OK budgets By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor Spending plans for the 2016-17 fiscal years for both the City of Hereford and Deaf Smith County are expected to be approved at Monday meetings. Both entities have proposed property tax increases and gone through the mandated processes to change those taxes in front of requirements to have a balanced budget in place for the Oct. 1 start of the fiscal year. Despite a scheduled meeting on Sept. 26, the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court called a meeting for Monday specifically to approve a new tax rate and budget. The county’s budget proposal is just short of $7 million and includes a 2-cent hike in the property tax rate from 51 to 53 cents per $100 valuation. Meanwhile, the Hereford City Commission is set to OK its tax increase and budget at Monday’s regular meeting. City officials received feedback, but no opposition to a $9.6 million budget that includes an almost 2-cent property tax increase and 3 percent bump in water and sewer rates. Under the proposal, city property taxes would go from 31.38 to 33 cents per PLEASE SEE BUDGETS | 3A

In a case of life imitating art, an inmate at the Deaf Smith County (DSC) Jail will be charged with attempted escape after trying to tunnel through a cell wall – reminiscent of the film “The Shawshank Redemption” – on Sept. 1. According to authorities, Mark Glover, 44, will face additional charges of criminal mischief for the attempt once damage totals are determined in the ongoing investigation. “The inmate had improvised a tool for chipping at the cinderblock and managed to get a steel shelf off the wall to use as a ram,” DSC Sherriff J. Dale Butler said. “It was that noise that alerted officers.” Glover’s attempt followed his sentencing GLOVER in January on a variety of charges – DWI, felony evading with a vehicle, resisting arrest, reckless driving and theft charges – which amounted to 20 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Glover was housed in the county jail’s minimum security dormitory, which does not utilize surveillance cameras. “Of course, everyone was either in the shower or asleep, so nobody saw anything,” Butler said. Unlike the film, whereby the protagonist hides his tunnel with various posters of Hollywood starlets, DSC corrections officers discovered that Glover used toothpaste to mask his efforts and had sharpened screws plundered from the shelving for an unspecified purpose. Glover is currently in state custody, but will be returned to DSC via a bench warrant to face the new charges stemming from the attempt. “We’ve had to ship the minimum [security] dorm out because we can’t mix classifications,” Butler said. “It’s costing PLEASE SEE ESCAPE | 3A

Everyone who knew Barbara knew the love that she had for her family and children. She did what Christ calls all of us to do, and that is to love. Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter Kendra Paxton (Daymond) of Midland; son Kevin King (Natalie) of McKinney; sisters Terrie LeGate of McKinney and Connie Lance of Hereford; sister-in-law Carol Sue LeGate of Amarillo; numerous nieces, nephews; and a host of friends. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Nolen and Della LeGate; and her brother, Tom LeGate.

$100 valuation. The budget also contains a 3 percent raise for city employees, more than $627,000 in capital expenditures and maximum 1.5 percent increase in garbage rates. Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said the garbage increase is capped and is essentially a passalong increase from the provider. He explained the tax increase as a way to ensure a revenue stream without depending upon water and sewer rates – which can affect a budget when usage is down as it was in 2015-16. The water and sewer increase is a way to not put an entire revenue burden on property owners, Hanna said, and also “build a war chest”

to purchase future water rights. The DSC Commissioners Court will meet at 9 a.m. in Deaf Smith County Courthouse.

The Hereford City Commission will hold a budget workshop at 5:45 p.m., before its 6:30 p.m. meeting in city hall.

Opinion Now is the time to get that flu shot It's still patio weather in Texas, with sweaters remaining stored away while swimsuits hang on the backyard line. Flu season seem as distant as the next blue norther. It's closer than you think, and it's time to get vaccinated. Protecting yourself and your family against the misery and potential danger of influenza is one of the smartest, easiest medical measures you can take. This year – better break it gently to the kids – vaccinations need to be in shot form. Because of concerns over effectiveness of the popular nasal-spray vaccines, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the injectable form for everyone. As always, there are the inevitable voices of self-designated authorities and Internet-radicalized activists who claim flu vaccines are unnecessary or even dangerous. It's an unhappy contradiction that the better vaccines become at protecting us, the louder the protests of science deniers who have never seen the terrifying scourge of a real disease epidemic. Influenza epidemics used to be a reallife horror that is unimaginable to us today. During the last century, there were three pandemics – worldwide super-infections – that killed more than 1 million victims each, according to the World Health Organization. The most recent was in 1968. Even today, thousands of Americans die from the flu every year, and 20,000 children under 5 are hospitalized in the U.S. for flu-related complications. The most vulnerable potential victims are people over 65, pregnant women and babies younger than 2. And a bad case of flu can dramatically worsen the prognosis for someone who is already fighting a serious illness or health condition. Responsible people with questions about flu vaccines should turn to reliable sources: established medical associations, public health experts, their own doctors. Unlike routine childhood immunizations, flu vaccinations must be renewed every year. Because the specific strain of flu we will see is a moving target, the vaccine is reformulated each season to match researchers' best predictions of what type is likely to strike. Bottom line: Even if you still come down with flu, you'll probably have a shorter, less severe bout if you have been immunized. The CDC says the time to get vaccinated is as soon as the vaccine is available; everyone older than 6 months should get a flu shot by the end of October. Nobody loves getting a shot, but it's over quicker than you can peel a BandAid. For parents, there are plenty of tips and resources for preparing or distracting needle-wary kids. So get vaccinated. And for a reward, give everybody ice cream on the porch while the Texas summer lingers. Dallas Morning News

Maybe they’ll do better But at least he can still play next time, but don’t count on it. golf, climb up and down stairs WikiLeaks and the Russian

hackers are doing the dirty work the media won’t do. Now we’re outsourcing our journalism. The true state of Hillary’s health is a serious issue and her people can’t be trusted to provide us with the truth. But in her basket of deplorable acts, where do you put this one? On top of Benghazi? Above the emails? Below the Clinton Foundation? Next to her lousy job as secretary of state? Under all those quarter-million dollar speeches she and Bill made? Trump is no prize for anyone with Republican or conservative values. And it’s not pretty to watch him learning to be a politician on the job – and in public. But for all the insulting things he’s said or dumb liberal things he and Ivanka want to do, he still has the potential to not make Republicans sorry they voted for him. There’s no hope for old Hillary to change for the better. She betrayed her true, nasty character when she read her “Deplorables Speech” to her elite pals. Millions of American voters have been given a rare glimpse of the real Hillary. Let’s hope most of them saw that she’s the one who’s really deplorable. (Michael Reagan is the son of former President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant and author.)

We might as well be watching a 30-car pile-up the way Americans are holding hands over their eyes trying to avoid the grisly bits of the most grotesque presidential race we have witnessed in this, the second decade of the 21st century. Of course, it’s only the second election during that time, but still. That is not to say 2012 wasn’t genuinely gruesome, with more than its share of cataclysmic collisions and demolition derby debacles, but this time they’re headed downhill faster than an 18-wheeler with burned out brakes carrying a load of nitroglycerine on the western slope of the Andes. This is a race to rock bottom to see which team ends up least wrecked, and right now they’re both jostling for pole position. Everybody is losing paint riding into each other while running over rocky roads gouged by their own staffs. Must be why they call them pit crews. You’ve heard the term “Accidents waiting to happen?” Well the opposite is “accidents waiting for a break in the action.” The two most polarizing drivers in the history of American politics have veered into so many walls, both their nicknames could be Crash. Recently, the Donald and the Hillary pulled into the paddock to attack their opponent’s foreign policies, a shock to the majority of spectators who were unaware either had a foreign policy that didn’t consist on calling in air strikes on the other’s campaign. And tire irons swung at their fuel lines. Now we’re getting to the point in this short track race where driver fatigue kicks in, and the unforced errors have begun to accumulate. Hillary Clinton said she was wrong to call half of Trump’s supporters a basket of deplorables. And she was wrong. It’s more like 63 percent. Donald Trump used the Mexican president as a prop, then gave an immigration speech that spurred most of his Hispanic advisory board to resign. Although to be honest, Trump Hispanic Advisory Board sounds like Democratic Leadership Council. Trump also praised Vladimir Putin for being a strong leader with an 84 percent approval rating. It would be higher, but the KGB hasn’t been able to track down the other 16 percent. Yet. The good news is the finish line is only two months away. The bad news is one of these lug nuts is going to take the checkered flag. The upside being, on Nov, 8, our long national nightmare will be over. Until Nov. 9, when the funny car race for 2020 begins. Gentlemen and ladies, prepare to start your engines.

From Staff Reports PLAINVIEW – The Hereford Lady Whitefaces continued to flex league muscle Tuesday with a relatively decisive sweep of Plainview in District 3-5A volleyball play. In posting their fifth straight win, the Lady Herd improved to 18-11 overall and 2-0 in the district with a 25-17, 25-8, 25-19 romp over the Lady Bulldogs. With the lineup finding its stride, another balanced effort led the Lady Whiteface attack. Leading scorer Meagan Ellis and Macy Gudgell paced the charge with 10 kills each. Jenna Lowrey added 6, and Carmen Flood finished with 5. Faith Castaneda and Ferrin Yosten chipped in 2 kills each, while Josalynn Lara had one. Setter Chandler Vogel doled out 20 of the team’s 32 total assists as Alyssa Vallejo added 11. Vogel and Danielle Pena paced the back-end defensive effort with 9 digs apiece. Ellis finished with 6, while Alexus Carbajal had 4 and Vallejo, Brianne Bartels, Lowrey and Gudgell recorded 1 each. Lowrey led the front-line defense with 3.5 blocks.

The drive to the postseason continues next week with district matches Tuesday at Randall and Saturday, Sept. 24 at home against Palo Duro.

Girl runners pick up slack From Staff Reports When the girls winner broke the tape at the Sept. 10 Amarillo cross country meet it marked the first time this season that Hereford’s Sabbatha Taylor did not finish first. That would have been impossible since the talented sophomore did not even start the race after a minor injury led coach Jose Huerta to scratch her. “It is nothing major,” he said. “She felt a pop and some pain, then another pop and felt fine. Holding her out is more of a precautionary thing. “We want to make sure she’s ready for the district meet (Oct. 14).” Taylor, the reigning District 3-5A champion and Region 1 runner-up, has gone 2-for-2 so far this season with wins at Clovis and Plainview to lead the Lady Whitefaces to respective third- and firstplace team finishes. Always a threat with Taylor in the lineup, the Lady Herd managed a solid showing in Amarillo without her to place in the middle of the seven-team field with 120 points for fourth – just edging fifth-place Tascosa (123). Running what Huerta admitted was a more difficult course, Lady Herd freshman Katie McCathern stepped up to lead the way – taking sixth in 20:51.40.

Melanie Jacquez (22:40.27) and Keihlen Rodriguez (22:40.79) finished 24th and 25th, respectively. Anahi Duran was 30th in 23:00.31, and Kiki Alonzo (24:03.91) came in 35th to round out the Lady Herd scorers. Also running were Lluvia Graieda (24:23.85, 41st) and Shyla Scott (24:39.54, 42nd). “The girls did a good job,” Huerta said. “They got a taste of what it would be like to not have Sabbatha leading the way, and they responded well.” For the Whitefaces, a pair of runners finished just outside the top 10 on the way to a sixth-place finish in the eight-team field. Jaydon Garcia was the first Whiteface across the line to take 11th in 17:46.14 in front of teammate Jordan Rodriguez, whose 17:56.90 was 12th. The next two Herd runners also finished back-to-back with Cristian Nunez (19:36.23) and Abraham Cervantez (19:39.32) placing 36th and 37th, respectively. Pedro Rocha ran a 20:06.83 for 47th to round out the boys scoring. Mario Mena (20:18.81, 48th) and Xavier Gonzales (20:22.25) also finished for the Whitefaces. Whiteface harriers – sans Taylor – are back on the course Saturday when they travel to the Rebel Run in Carlsbad, N.M.

Keeping tradition… and passing it along By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Some passions prove infectious and linger long after we have shuffled off this mortal coil. By the time Gladys Brewer passed away in 2015, she had willed her love of gardening to Olivia Gonzales, who has carried on the tradition. “Mrs. Brewer started this 15, maybe 20 years ago and did it until she fell ill,” Gonzales said. “This year, I’m doing it, and it’s in memory of her. “I’m hoping that it’s God’s will that we’ll be able to keep it up for her.” Gonzales has helped the Brewers, Gladys and husband Monty, for six years, but in a limited capacity – hoeing and pulling weeds – at the beginning. Admittedly, she had reservations about taking over operations for fear of not meeting Monty’s exacting standards. “Mr. Brewer said everything gets planted perfectly and if it’s not, then it gets thrown to the goats,” Gonzales said. “I didn’t want to get started because I knew I couldn’t be perfect.” Under Monty’s tutelage,

Left, Neveah Bustamante, 2, has already learned to differentiate colors through picking tomatoes at the Gladys Brewer Memorial Garden. She knows that the red ones feed people and the green ones go to the goats. Right, Bustamante fills Gonzales’ open hands as the duo harvests produce at the garden Gonzales maintains in honor of her friend.

Gonzales learned that dirty hands and feet have

the potential to ruin a garden and the wire cages surrounding the tomato plants are draped in red ribbons to inspire the fruit’s imminent color change. Too, Gonzales serendipitously encountered a book entitled “God’s Little Garden” that compares God’s children to seeds that must be planted and nourished, she said. “How weird is it to find that book when I first started doing this?” Gonzales said. “I guess it’s all a part of learning how to fish and not just how to eat the fish.” Gladys Brewer’s Memorial Garden, tucked away just beyond Hereford’s northeastern city limits, feeds quite a few neighbors and a few goats intentionally, while chickens pilfer a tomato here and there and a local bull snake poaches the occasional egg. Although the produce

is not for sale, Gonzales happily accepts donations towards the following year’s garden. “The best part is the cantaloupes,” Gonzales said. “Every year, we have a waiting list for those, and we’ve given away over 200 so far.” Family business and a desire to move into city limits may ultimately compel Gonzales to turn the garden’s stewardship over to another – likely her young assistant. Neveah Bustamante pulls weeds and waters the garden almost daily, and she may well have caught the gardening bug transmitted from Brewer to Gonzales. “She’s learned the difference between the red and green tomatoes. She’ll throw the green ones to the goats,” Gonzales said. “She’s been helping for two summers, which says a lot considering that she’s only 2 years old.”

The Deaf Smith County (DSC) 4-H’s 2016 Achievement Celebration was themed “Go for the Gold” to reflect the organization’s efforts to improve upon its presence through greater investments of time, energy and ability. Beyond recognizing DSC 4-H’ers’ successes throughout the year, it was also an opportunity for the organization to acknowledge the assistance afforded by youth and adult volunteers. “It is an opportunity to commemorate and say ‘thank you’ to the individuals and businesses in the community who faithfully support the 4-H program,” DSC 4-H County Council president and master of

ceremonies Tom Keeling said. District delegate Jack Detten applauded five-year leaders Michael Carson and Sheila Wagner; six-year leaders Jeffrey Carlson and Sheri Blankenship; seven-year leaders Michael Berend, Karen Keeling, Jessica Detten, Tamara Mimms, Moriah Pohlman and Scott Pohlman; and eight-year leaders Shannon Redwine, Amalia Mata and Lanny Redwine. Detten further lauded those who have broken the decade mark – 11-year leaders Carla House and Jean Turpen, 13-year leader Debbie Arroyos and 16year leader Toby Turpen.

Johnny James Porras, 11, shows off his trophy and grand prize after landing a 22-inch fish to win Saturday’s Texas Junior Anglers Community Fishing Day competition at Josserand Aquatic Center in Hereford.

Competition tight at Fish Day From Staff Reports They say that football is a game of inches. After Saturday, Sept. 10, there might be a need to say the same thing about community fishing competitions. Less than 1.5 inches proved the difference in the Texas Junior Anglers and city of Hereford endof-summer Community Fishing Day at Josserand

Aquatic Center. The second of two annual youth community fishing events – the first is held in mid-May – more than 180 junior anglers took part in trying to hook and land catfish. Johnny James Porras, 11, landed the biggest catch of the day at 22 inches in length to take top prize. Porras’ winning catch edged Cameron Risenhoover’s 21.5-inch fish for the 7-11 age division and was also

the second-largest catch recorded. Davien Garcia won the 6-under division with a catch measuring 21 3/8 inches to top Yareli Ruiz’s catch of 20 7/8 inches. Winning the 12-over division was Jared Garcia, who landed a 21-inch fish. Shaun Carver was second with a catch measuring 20 5/8 inches. The first catch of the event was turned in by 7-year-old Zaidee Towe.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Doctrine is important. But I hear people speak of my doctrine, your doctrine, our doctrine, their doctrine. The idea of many different doctrines creates confusion and doubt in what is called the Christian belief. Some have said there are so many different beliefs that they don’t know what to believe, so they give up on Christianity. However, when I think about the Bible – whether it be my Bible, your Bible, or their Bible – I find the words, verses, chapters in all of these Bibles to be the same. The only variations are due to the version being used, ie NKJV, NIV, NASV, ETC. Therefore, if we all believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God…. shouldn’t we just recognize it as God’s doctrine? It seems that Paul was expressing this thought when he wrote to the Thessolonians in I Thess 2:13 “for this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.” But someone will say that differences exist because of interpretation of the scriptures. Surely God did not make his Word so complicated that we cannot understand it. But we do know that in the beginning and through the ages, men have twisted scriptures. In II Peter 1:16, Peter said “we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty”. I Peter 1:19-2:132 reads “and so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who brought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgement has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” No I do not believe that God’s word is so difficult that we cannot understand it. And I do believe we should be very careful as we read and study to learn what God’s message teaches. We should be careful about injecting our opinions. There are times when we need some help in understanding, but we should be mindful of Paul’s statement in I Cor 3:10-11 “According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus.” We appreciate comments we have heard from many that you read and enjoy these lessons. We have not given away as many Bibles as we would like. And we have not arranged as many studies as we had hoped. So don’t delay…..call today for your free Bible ! John Sublett

New ambulance upgrades EMS By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer

Community needs and technology changes make emergency medicine a consistent challenge, but Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) looked to surmount those obstacles with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art Braun ambulance. The chassis boxes on the

current HRMC ambulance fleet date back to 2008-09, while HRMC’s Emergency Medical Service (EMS) van is a 2014 model. “It doesn’t seem like a lot of years, but when you consider how hard their driven and what they have to go through, then you almost have to double the miles,” HRMC EMS Director Marcos Castro said. According to Castro, the actual ambulance boxes date back to 2001 and rising maintenance costs necessitated the $154,154 (more than $5,000 under budget) vehicle. PLEASE SEE EMS | 2A

BRAND/C.E. Hanna

Hereford Regional Medical Center EMS showed off its new ambulance during an open-house cookout last week. The new vehicle is reported to provide upgrades in emergency capabilities.
