County adds motto to vehicles, courtroom By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer In keeping true to the Deaf Smith County (DSC) Commissioners Court’s Oct. 26, 2015 resolution, the nation’s motto, “In God We Trust,” now adorns the walls of the county courtroom. The sentiment became the national motto on July 30, 1956 and has been used on the nation’s

beliefs that this country was founded upon, and that’s why it is important,”

EMS learns from regional disaster drill By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer

Straightening out the washboard began Thursday as crews started repaving a brick portion of Main Street from Seventh Street to Park Avenue.

Smoothing a ro u u u u u u u gh spot By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Portions of downtown Hereford allow residents and visitors alike to go back in time to a degree with streets that are stilled pave with bricks – as they were in the early 20th century. As virtually all drivers who made the trek can attest, it does not take long for the experience became totally immersive and interactive. Whether you’re in a Mercedes, BMW, SUV, pick-up or dually, drivers felt as if they were in a 1930 Ford coupe with no shocks and solid rubber tires making their way across the washboard roadway. The first steps toward addressing that situation started Thursday when work began on repaving the portion of Main from Seventh Street to Park Avenue. The worst section of the city’s brick roadway in terms of driving PLEASE SEE PAVE | 3A

In an emergency situation, possessing and executing a plan for individuals and first responders alike is crucial to mitigating casualties. Hereford Regional Medical Center’s (HRMC) Emergency Medical Service (EMS) looked to solidify its plan in the eventuality of a tornado as part of a recent cooperative simulation between Regional Advisory Council-A (RAC), which services the Amarillo and Panhandle area, and RAC-B, which serves the Lubbock area, in Plainview. “These are mass-scale exercises to assure that we respond appropriately to a disaster or a major catastrophic event,” HRMC EMS Director Marcos Castro said. “It’s an opportunity for various responders from different regions to learn to work together.” CASTRO The simulation, hosted by the Plainview Fire Department, drew nursing staffs from HRMC, Northwest Texas Healthcare System, Texas BSA Health System, University Medical Center, Covenant Health, Plains Memorial Hospital and Parmer Medical Center. According to Castro, HRMC EMS worked alongside crews from Lubbock, Plainview, Tulia, Pampa and Clovis, N.M. “For the simulation, we acted as if the tornado had traveled through town [Plainview] and that it had taken out the west wall of the hospital,” Castro said. “We started at about 8:15 [a.m.] and set up the tent, complete with physicians, paramedics and nurses, and simulated the whole event by 3 p.m.” The cooperating agencies were then evaluated on their performances in subsequent debriefings that yielded positives and negatives. The mobilization and response aspect of the simulation, including erecting a tent with requisite medical accoutrements in under three hours, went well, Castro said. “We do need to work better on communication,” he said. “Almost every group of first responders runs on different

While most of the project will be repaving over the existing brick road, portions of the bricks did have to be completely removed to level the roadbed.

Library flexes its ‘Power’ By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer If she were to create a mantra for Deaf Smith County (DSC) Library, director Linda Perry would likely say, “We’re more than just books.” The Texas Library Association (TLA) shares the DSC Library’s assessment and its work to spread the message prompted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to declare Sept. 15 “Power Up Your Library

Day.” “It’s a struggle to overcome that image and to get information out,” Perry said. “Most people don’t know about all of the services and materials we offer.” According to TLA president Susan Mann, the “powered libraries” campaign is intended to illuminate the library’s evolution to meet the demands of a fluid, ambitious and technologysavvy population. The campaign’s intent is to advance three messages – libraries are essential to the creation and sharing of ideas in the community; libraries are vital, forwardthinking, technology-

driven institutions; and libraries’ endeavors reflect a diverse field of information work. DSC Library’s membership with TLA affords it – and patrons by proxy – access to numerous databases like TexShare and Sweet Search, both of which offer citations for high school and college students’ research projects. For children, the library has TumbleBooks, which reads the texts aloud and displays illustrations. “It’s a cool resource for kids,” Perry said. “It comes with puzzles, memory games, and National PLEASE SEE POWER | 2A

The Main Street project ($58,900) is the most expensive of the four in the $133,400 appropriation.

The achievement award was presented to Villarreal for completing her master’s degree in library science. She is currently the librarian at Aikman Elementary School.

traditionally become rough over time as the weight of traffic adjusts bricks and the roadbed. In the past, repairs required removing the bricks, releveling the road base and then replacing the bricks. That could have been done in this case, but officials said that would require the services of brick masons and a much-more extensive and expensive process. To contrast, Bartels said brick portions of Third Street do not have such problems because it was once U.S. 60 – and as such, the roadbed had to meet more stringent specifications.

Although the project was approved more than a month ago, Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said it and the other three would be addressed as time permitted. Hanna added that J. Lee Milligan, Inc., who won the bid for the repairs, and the city had agreed for the company to address the repairs when time allowed as it was completing paving work at Hereford Municipal Airport. Milligan officials said traffic would only be diverted during working hours and the Main Street project should have been completed by Friday.

Se Habla Espanol

Opinion Trump anxiety is real, but his solutions aren’t The anxiety many voters feel about the state of America is real. Too often, critics try to explain it away as purely expressions of racism or hate or anti-immigrant animus. That's too bad; these fears deserve to be taken seriously by the media and by both candidates for president. But many of those who oppose Donald Trump's candidacy believe the security he offers is illusory. As the race tightens and heads into its final seven weeks, readers deserve an explanation why. When violent crime rates spike in big cities across America, some voters hear Trump's promise to be a "law and order" president as reassuring, even if they know that crime rates are still among the lowest in decades. When police officers are shot in the streets, as they were in Dallas, tough talk like that has undeniable appeal. We see voters' logic in such a response. But we also note that all of us – police officers and bystanders alike – will be safer if tensions between police and those they are sworn to protect are eased. Trump gleefully risks inflaming tensions, perpetuating injustices, and destabilizing already fraught relations in our cities. Saying that Black Lives Matter activists are responsible for the murder of police officers, or suggesting he might ask the attorney general to monitor them closely, is not helpful. Some Trump supporters also report unease with America's fast-changing demographics. It's true that white people are losing their majority status. Since 2010, Texas and three other states have had minority populations of more than 50 percent. Our share of immigrants, of all races, is growing, too. The changing face of America is both inevitable and a source of strength for this growing, vibrant nation. A candidate, and a party, that embraces these changes is stronger for it, too. But Trump's insistence on building a wall along our vast, southern border makes no sense. Yes, our border needs added attention. And overall immigration from Mexico? It's lower than it has been in years. How low? More Mexicans left America to return to Mexico last year than the other way around. Trump has also proposed applying an ideological litmus test for those who want to come to America. That threatens a fundamental American value, and a conservative one: The freedom of conscience. America has other worries, of course. Some 15 years after the venomous attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, this nation is still enmeshed in the longest foreign war in its history. At home, we've seen our liberties tasked, and our well-being threatened, by a constant and wellfounded concern about terrorism. Social changes, too, have occurred at a rapid-fire pace. And despite an improving economy, our median incomes have never fully recovered from the devastating recession after the 2008 financial crisis. But while these anxieties are real, Trump's campaign offers only talk, no real help. For Trump, these concerns are insecurities to exploit, not challenges to meet. His implicit promise is that he'll lead America back to a place where, in his condescending phrase, America can be great again. But putting Donald Trump in the White House will not make America safer, wealthier or freer. Dallas Morning News

It’s a no-brainer. When your plans were. you go out to play an NFL game

Sunday, you don’t give your game plan to the other team beforehand and then wonder why you keep losing. The left spends too much time wanting to give the game plan to the other team, and then they’re surprised when we lose. Another thing I don’t want to hear from Trump in the debate on Monday is a whole lot of specific talk about policy. The 100 million people who are going to watch the mostwatched debate in world history are going to be looking to see who is the most presidential. They won’t be looking for the best policy wonk. If Trump starts talking about policy, you’ll hear millions of TVs turning off. In my father’s first debate with Walter Mondale in 1984, he was absolutely terrible because his advisers filled him with too much policy information. In the second debate, they didn’t do that. They let Reagan be Reagan. And he won the second debate with ease. On Monday, Trump needs to show some self-control but most of all he just needs to be Trump. If he does that he should win the debate because Hillary can never stop being Hillary. (Michael Reagan is the son of former President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant and author.)

If Wells Fargo was focused on bank charges and interest rates rather than political hot button issues, perhaps they wouldn’t have had to fire thousands of employees for ripping off customers and be liable for millions in fines. In a recent press release, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [CFPB] recounted that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will pay “the largest penalty the CFPB has ever imposed,” $185 million, because thousands of Wells Fargo employees “covertly” opened “more than two million deposit and credit card accounts,” transferring funds from consumers’ authorized accounts without their knowledge or consent, often racking up fees or other charges.” The press release says the employees who engaged in this “widespread illegal practice” were “spurred by sales targets and compensation incentives.” “Spurred” is a little mild, considering that CNN Money reports that a “pressure cooker environment” at Wells Fargo resulted in employees engaging “in all kinds of sordid practices.” S p e c i f i c a l l y , approximately 5,300 employees may have opened roughly 1.5 million deposit accounts, transferring funds from consumers’ accounts to temporarily fund the new. Additionally, CFPB says employees applied for “roughly 565,000 credit card accounts that may not have been authorized by consumers, leading to “incurred annual fees, as well as associated finance or interest charges and other fees.” They also issued and activated debit cards and created PIN numbers and fake email addresses to enroll unaware consumers in online-banking services. All this while Wells Fargo was simultaneously shoving social issues down consumers’ throats, something they’ve done for years. Last year, in response to an advertisement featuring a lesbian couple, noteworthy Evangelicals like Franklin Graham said they’d had enough and closed out their accounts. Nonetheless, Wells Fargo remained resolute in its activist stance and has the right to do so. But individuals also have the right to put their money in banks that leave what people do in the bedroom out of the boardroom. (Susan Stamper Brown writes about culture, politics and current events.

Rodriguez finishes in top 10 From Staff Reports CARLSBAD, N.M. – Continuing season-long improvement, Hereford’s Jordan Rodriguez was one of only two Texas runners to place in the top 10 of Sept. 17’s Ron Singleton Meet. Rodriguez covered the course in 17:11.1 to finish eighth overall and lead the Herd to 197 points and an eighth-place team finish in the 12-team meet. Jaydon Garcia ran a 17:52.4 to place 20th for the Whitefaces as he and Rodriguez outdistanced their teammates. The next Whitefaces to finish were Marion Mena

(19:52.8) in 61st, Jordan Trevino (19:55.0) in 63rd and Abraham Cervantes (20:05.5) at 69th. Also running for the Herd were Pedro Rocha (20:20.2, 71st) and Christian Nunez (21:10.9, 78th). The Lady Whitefaces continued to miss pacesetter Sabbatha Taylor, who sat out her second consecutive meet with a minor injury. Having won both meets she competed in this season, Taylor’s last winning time on Sept. 3 was more than 1:00 faster than the winning time Saturday. Despite her absence, the Lady Herd managed to finish ninth in the 13-team

field with 192 points. Keihlin Rodriguez (22:17.3) and Katie McCathern (22:18.5) came in 25th and 26th, respectively, to pace the distaff harriers. Kiki Alonzo ran a 22:46.4 to finish 37th, while Melanie Jacques (23:10.8) finished 47th. A 23:44.7 saw Lluvia Grajida cross the line 60th with Anahi Duran (24:00.5) and Shyla Scott (24:48.9) coming in 64th and 71st, respectively.

After feeling the sting of the short end of a 19-0 final, the Hereford Whiteface tennis team wasted no time in reversing that Tuesday by stampeding over and through Palo Duro, 19-0. “It’s always nice to be on the good side of a 19-0 score after being on the bad side of it last week,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “I thought we had a couple of boys doubles matches and the No. 1 girls singles where we didn’t play very well. “We let them hang around when we should have won sooner and easier. We got lucky in the end that we were just better in those matches and were able to get the win.” The three matches Crouch mentioned – Nos. 1 and 2 boys doubles, as well as No. 1 girls singles – were the only on the day where the Dons won more than three games in a set or match. Tommy Villalovos and Caden Victor pulled out a 6-3, 7-5 win at No. 1 boys doubles as the No. 2 team of Enrique SaenzBrenden James won 7-6, 6-1. Kara Esquivel was cruising at No. 1 girls singles after taking the first set 6-1, but faltered some in the second on the way to a 6-4 win. For the most part, the match was the proverbial afternoon grazing on the range for the Whitefaces. Villalovos at No. 2 boys singles, No. 6 girls Ally Hubbard and the No. 3 girls doubles team (Aubrey Shueler and Hubbard) all posted 6-0, 6-0 victories. No. 3 girls singles Erin Jesko, Schueler at No. 5 and No. 4 boys Saenz won their matches by 6-1, 6-0 finals. Top boys singles Tom Keeling, Victor at No. 5, No. 6 Austin Hougland, girls No. 2 Addi Ferris and girls No. 4 Priscilla Castillo registered 6-1, 6-1 victories. Jesko and Castillo teamed up to win 6-1, 6-1 at No. 2 girls doubles, while Keeling and Kamille Hicks took the mixed doubles match 6-1, 6-0. PLEASE SEE TEN | 6A

Avenue Baptist celebrating 70 years

By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer

In an ever-changing world, longevity is a milestone and anything that endures for 70 years definitely deserves a party. Following its 11 a.m. Sunday service on Oct 9, Avenue Baptist Church will host a fellowship meal in order to celebrate its first seven decades of worship. “It’s an opportunity to get together for fellowship,” Avenue Baptist Pastor Billy Joe Wall said. “We’ve invited our previous pastors, music leaders and director of missions to come and be a part of it.” Originally, the church operated out of a twostory house on the premises of the current 130 N. 25 Mile Ave., location. A small frame-andstucco building – completed June 2, 1946 – housed the church’s initial 50-member congregation. “It actually started the year prior,” Wall said. “It was a mission start of First Baptist Church in 1945, but we had enough coming and enough funding to start the church itself.” By April 1948, plans for a parsonage were underway, and subsequent plans for a new auditorium were cemented in June the following year. These additions led to the church’s first baptistery, which was introduced during a dedication ceremony in December 1949. Construction on a new auditorium began in 1955 and was completed and formally dedicated four years later. The two-story house

was torn down in the 1960s. The most recent additions, an educational wing and fellowship hall, were completed in the late 1980s, he said. “Over the years, we’ve had good years and lean years,” Wall said. “Some years we’ll have an abundance of children and then we’ll see a decline.” Of late, the number of young families attending Avenue Baptist has increased enough to warrant Sunday school classes for children. Although the church conducts regular

Wednesday evening services, there are not any plans for a Wednesday night youth group, he said. “We’re excited about all of our young people, but we’re not certain about having a youth group just yet,” Wall said. “Life for these kids just seems like it keeps getting busier and busier.” Hereford Nueva Vida’s congregation, which was founded by Avenue Baptist in1985, is expected to attend. Wall stressed that the event is for the community at large.

Those who will be attending are asked to RSVP by Sept. 30 to ensure adequate food preparation. “It’s not just for members and past members, but also to thank the community for their support,” Wall said. “We want to thank everyone for helping us accomplish what God has commissioned this church to do.”

Avenue Baptist Church will celebrate 70 years of worship during and after its Sunday, Oct. 9 morning service.

4-H honors Legacy By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Although it is difficult to quantify the effects of volunteerism, the years of effort put forth can be counted and acknowledged. The sum of service from the winners of this year’s Leader Legacy Awards, presented at the 2016 Deaf Smith County 4-H Achievement Celebration on Sept. 11, amounts to 70 years with Rick and Georgia Auckerman earning 30-year honors, and Jaime Brorman and Barbara Franks taking home 20-year distinctions. According to AgriLife Extension office BRAND/C.E. Hanna

Rick and Georgia Auckerman were awarded the 30-Year Leader Legacy Award for three decades of service at the 2016 Deaf Smith County 4-H Achievement Celebration. The couple began assisting 4-H in 1986 to support their four daughters’ various projects.

manager Kerrie Steiert, the Auckermans began their 4-H service in 1986 to support their four daughters. “In that time, they can – and have – done it all, serving as the quiet team behind the scenes, doing the oft times thankless jobs that others overlooked,” Steiert said. The Auckermans, who moved to Hereford in 1981, have weighed sheep, hauled children to competitions, judged public speaking competitions and taught sewing throughout their years of service to 4-H youth.

Trio take 4-H Spirit awards From Staff Reports The Deaf Smith County (DSC) 4-H took a moment to reflect on the year’s hard work and subsequent success from its volunteers young and old during the 2016 4-H Achievement Celebration on Sept. 11. The celebration’s theme, “Go for the Gold,” represents the program’s efforts – time, energy and ability – towards making the best even better. “The Spirit of 4-H Award is an honor adopted by the Deaf Smith 4-H program to recognize 4-H’ers of all ages for their positive attitude, diversity and dedication in striving to meet their goals,” presenter Cordie Redwine said. Lanae Blankenship, Jack

Detten and Brad Turpen were honored with the Spirit of 4-H award. Blankenship has been involved in the DSC 4-H program for four years, and her endeavors include clothing and textiles, photography, goats, swine, food and nutrition, consumer education and communications. She upcycled, (turning an unwanted item into something beneficial), a shirt into an apron and is currently working on a pillow created from her goat and pig show ribbons. Detten, a sophomore at Hereford High School, has been active in 4-H for six years and his projects reflect his diverse interest – sheep, rabbits, leadership and public speaking. According to DSC

AgriLife Extension Agent Rick Auckerman, Detten competed very well in Open Ag and Natural Resources division of educational presentations state competition with his public speaking program concerning playa lakes. Turpen has also been involved with 4-H for six years, excelling in public speaking, sports, photography and shooting. He picks projects that he can relate to, which has earned him gold medals in each effort, but his goal for the forthcoming year is to shoot 100 straight shot. The awards are intended to recognize the outstanding achievements of DSC 4-Hers and to honor the support and generosity of the organization’s volunteer leaders, 4-H

career in education, while Rick worked in the seed business until an economic downturn ushered him into the AgriLife Extension Service in 2000. “The Auckermans are the epitome of dedication and dependability,” Steiert said. “They have never faltered when it comes to extending a hand to those in need.” 4-H Parents Association treasurer and Food and Nutrition Club co-manager Jaime Brorman, winner of the 20-Year Legacy Award, and her husband Lawrence spearheaded the 2007 campaign to relocate Deaf

Smith County Extension offices to a larger and more accessible location. As a result of the campaign, 4-H is currently housed in the Nita Lea building on 14th Street. “She has demonstrated excellent leadership skills though her involvement in a variety of projects, activities and club work,” Steiert said. “She never fails to bring unbridled enthusiasm and positive energy to her endeavors.” Although unable to attend, 4-H Shooting Sports Club treasurer and advisor Barbara Franks was also recognized with

the 20-Year Legacy Award during the banquet. Franks assists in organizing the Invitational Trap and Fun Shoot each summer and is an active member of the Jim Marsh Scholarship Committee. “She believes in the positive impacts of the 4-H program and she encourages the youth to be responsible, contributing members of the community,” Steiert said. “Her commitment to excellence and her integrity, dedication and positivity has proven invaluable.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS I’ve stated this before. As far as I can tell, from the time God created mankind, He has always given man instructions and He desired humans to obey. It is also true that humans had the choice to follow God….or not. From Genesis, we know that Adam and Eve sinned. We know that Cain sinned. And in Genesis chapter 6, verses 5 and 11 we can read “the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence”. By my calculation, these statements were approximately 1650 years from the time of creation. And you may know the rest of the story….. that God destroyed all of mankind…except for Noah and his family…. in the flood. In the Old Testament, we can read of those who are called God’s people. There were times when they followed God, and times that they fell away from God. Isaiah 30: 9-11 That this is a rebellious people, lying chil dren, Children who will not hear the law of the Lord; who say to seers, “Do not see”, and to the prophets “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us”. Jeremiah 5: 30-31 An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed in the land; the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; and My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end? I cannot say that mankind has changed much, if any, today. We might remember what Christ said in Matthew 7: 13-14 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to eternal life, and there are few who find it”. To know God and Christ…and the way which leads to eternal life….. is found in God’s Word, His Holy Bible. Paul wrote to Timothy “and the things you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also”. II Timothy 2:2 We desire to teach others, all who want to learn more about what God would have us do. Our study is not difficult because God’s message is simple.

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.

Magic is very near and dear to our hearts at the Humane Society. He was born near a local business and grew up in the bar ditch as a puppy. He grew up around all the employees that fed him but he could not stay there forever so they asked for our help. He was timid at first but he is like our best bud now! He willingly gets in his kennel at night and plays in our outside run during the day. He loves to play with other dogs but he does play rough! He is only about a year old or just under and he is just a big puppy! He is already neutered and he is up to date on his vaccinations. He is ready to go! He just needs his forever family! He would be a great country dog... we think he is primarily Australian Kelpie. He is extremely smart so he needs to be kept well entertained and he needs to be involved in family life every day. It would be great if he could find a family that would show him how to work with cattle and he could go everywhere with his new owner! If you are interested please give us a call at 806-363-6499! He is only $100 to adopt!
