Workforce concerns economic leaders By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

While setting goals for the 2016-17 year was the focus of Tuesday’s meeting of the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC), discussion quickly turned to arguably the most viable aspect of any economic development goal – workers. For HEDC members, the reality of the employment world in 2016 does not have them brimming with confidence. “The problems are with getting people to work, who want to work and have a good work ethic,” board member John Perrin said. “An overall work ethic among younger people is lacking – maybe it’s a

cultural thing. “Labor is an issue across the board.” While HEDC executive director Michael Kitten conceded the labor is problematic everywhere, Perrin added the need exists

for a method to be determined to improve that. Hereford Mayor Tom Simons inquired about the possibility of HEDC-sponsored training, however, Kitten was quick to

point out therein lies a fulcrum to the modern-day dilemma. “If you don’t pay them or give them something, it’s hard to get support,” Kitten said. “They ask ‘what’s in it for me?’ When told lessons to last the rest of their lives, they aren’t interested. They want to know what they can get now.” Despite that, Kitten believes HEDC, as well as other local entities, could become more involved in job and skills training for youth. Board member Sally Noyce pointed out a potential problem in the mind-set of public education over the past two decades or so.

HEDC looks to new year

From Staff Reports Taking care of usual business, hearing a couple of information updates, seeking bids for a vehicle and setting the 2016-17 holiday schedule resulted in a relatively short morning for the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court at Tuesday’s regular meeting. The item of most probable interest to a majority of county residents revolved around one of the information updates. County Judge D.J. Wagner relayed information from a report by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department concerning the upcoming deer season. Deaf Smith County is part of a larger Panhandle region declared infected by chronic wasting disease (CWD). CWD is a fatal neurological disease in white tail deer, elk, mule deer and moose, among others. In addition to eventually killing the host, the disease can also affect an animal’s meat. Subsequently, all deer harvested in Deaf Smith County during the general deer season – Nov. 5-Jan. 1 – must be inspected by state officials for CWD within 24 hours of the kill. The closest inspection station for local hunters will be at Walnut RV Park in Vega. The station will be open from 9 a.m.-7 p.m., on Nov. 5-7, Nov. 11-14, Nov. 18-Dec. 5, Dec. 9-12, Dec. 16-19, Dec. 23 and Dec. 26-Jan. 2. Commissioners also received an update on construction work at the jail after a cell was damaged several weeks ago. Wagner reported the work – which included re-enforcing cell walls to meet state requirements – was completed last week.

Cross country teams open postseason By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor The fall postseason begins Friday at the Hereford Whiteface and Lady Whiteface cross country teams take part in the District 3-5A meet. “It will be tough,” Hereford coach Jose Huerta said. “Everyone is looking to peak at this time. We’re looking to get both teams qualified for region. We’ve been preparing for that. “We want to be either 1, 2, or 3 to advance to region.” For the Lady Whitefaces, Huerta expects a “solid” second- or third-place finish – which will be ultimately be decided by which place sophomore Sabbath Taylor finishes. The reigning District 3-5A champion, Taylor has missed the past four meets while recovering from a minor hip injury. Prior to missing time, Taylor had opened the season by winning the first two meets – the second by finishing more than a minute faster than the first and posting a time that is better than winners of the four meet she missed. “She is healthy,” Huerta said. “She is back at 100 percent. She’s been training at the pool, but that

With no changes at the top and very few in direction, the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) moved full-steam ahead into its 2016-17 year at Tuesday’s meeting. Setting leadership for the upcoming was the meeting’s first priority as officers were elected. “There is currently no one on the board who is at the end of a term,” HEDC executive director Michael Kitten said. “So, there are no oaths to give. Due to that, if there are no new nominations, the current officers can be re-elected by affirmation.” With no nominations coming, the board agreed in voice vote to retain its current officers – Cody Chandler, president; Sally Noyce, vice president and John Perrin, secretary – for the coming year. There were also few changes to the direction the board is pointing with the adoption of 2016-17 goals. “We seem to have done a good job meeting last year’s goals,” Chandler said. The main HEDC goal – as last year – is finding opportunities to fund provision of land, buildings, equipment and other items – including infrastructure – for creating or retaining jobs in agri-business, manufacturing, industries, distribution centers and small warehouses. That goal also includes research and development centers, job training facilities for use by higher education and water requirements. Projects not creating primary jobs, but those that do so in a peripheral aspect was also listed as a goal. Infrastructure items listed that would “promote or develop new or expanded business enterprise” were streets and roads, utilities, drainage, site improvement and development, telecommunications and Internet, rail spurs and an increased tax base. “We tweak the goals every year, but they are basically the same,” Kitten said. “We expanded our renewable energy goals to include solar because there is interest in that. We need to look closer at potential rail access and spurs and the possibility of an industrial park. “I believe we have a good set of goals.”

“One of the fundamental problems is that schools drive students toward higher education and are not preparing workers,” she said. “We need to start programs at the junior high level to prepare skilled workers. “College is not for everyone. We need skilled workers. We’re lacking a skilled workforce.” Simons said part of the problem is that younger people have few opportunities to learn important job skills through employment. While several members pointed out that often skilled workers earn more than many of their collegegraduate counterparts, Perrin noted more fundamental job skills that need to be addressed and stressed. “People need to understand that when you have a job, you show up on time and do your job,” he said. “That’s why you are getting paid. Even simple things like just showing up on time have to be taught sometimes. “The business that can develop employees will be a winning business. The community that does the same will be a winning community.” Simons also suggested discussing the situation with Hereford Independent School District officials to determine their interest in getting involved.

Joining Taylor in the hunt for girls region berths will be Katie McCathern, Candace Gonce, Kiki Alonzo and Keihlen Rodriguez. For the Whitefaces, Huerta is expecting them to compete for the third team spot behind the consistent season-long showings of Jordan Rodriguez and Jaydon Garcia, who have consistently finished among the top 30 throughout the season.

Opinion

Republicans may get what they deserve Oh, this election. We'll remember it as the one that turned brother against brother, mother against daughter, father against son, friend against friend. What a bitterly divided nation. And that's just the Republicans. Even if you believe that Donald Trump stanched a gushing artery in the second debate, what of the constituency he has mostly dismissed? That would be the so-called establishment Republicans desperately trying to keep their presidential nominee from undermining their hopes of holding the Senate and House, if not their entire party. House Speaker Paul Ryan, a belated and reluctant Trump endorser, tried to split the difference Monday by telling his caucus that he would no longer defend nor campaign with Trump. But when pressed, he did not withdraw his endorsement. Ryan's longtime friend and Wisconsin ally, Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus, steered the other way. Hours after Ryan's drama, Priebus told committee members that nothing had changed and the RNC was in full coordination with the Trump campaign, money included. In two conference calls, two GOP leaders demonstrated how riven the party has become in the wake of Trump. Both recognize different realities, and only one can be right. Priebus has offered his own occasional discomfort with the distasteful Trump campaign – including the vulgar, misogynistic "locker room" tape – but sought to reassure those Republicans standing with the nominee come what may. The only thing worse, they argue, would be a Hillary Clinton presidency. Any so-called Republicans unable to take on this fight are "cowards," as California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher so gently put it. This is a significant segment of today's GOP. Trump won the nomination fair and square, with more than 13 million primary votes. He may be a walking gaffe machine incapable of going a week without talking his candidacy into the gutter, but he does have his fans. Then there are those Republicans who put country ahead of party and refuse to back Trump. They are joined by later adopters who increasingly worry that his manifest ineptitude could sink the entire GOP ticket – or their own down-ballot race, in particular. While he pulled up short, Ryan nevertheless reflects the dozens of Republican elected officials and other party stalwarts who say Trump is simply a bridge too far. A more courageous House speaker would have finished the thought. Perhaps he will at the next conflagration. A Donald Trump supporter makes her point during the 1st Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin Fall Fest. House Speaker Paul Ryan, "sickened" by Trump's lewd and misogynistic comments in a 2005 video, disinvited him from the annual political event. We have no interest in a Republican nominee for whom principle is negotiable nor in a party willing to trade principle in pursuit of electoral victory. Clinton is the only serious candidate. Donald Trump is neither a conservative nor qualified to serve. Those who stand with him deserve his fate. What Republicans do could determine the party's course long after one miserable election. Its demise would deprive Americans of real and needed choice – but if the GOP can't bring itself to cut ties with the most unqualified candidate in modern history, it deserves the wilderness, and for a very long time.

It is our belief that, through this exhibit, education, the teaching profession, and the relationship between parents, teachers and the community has been seen in a very positive light. This could only have been done with your help and contribution.” After the exhibit was returned at the fair's end, it was on display at Hereford State Bank and later at the HISD administration building, which was then at Avenue F and Union Street. Committee members also used the exhibit when presenting programs at local civic and study clubs. One must keep in mind that this project was done before Power Point and there was only very limited technology available. But the use of sticky letters, typewriters, scissors, rulers, glue and much patience prevailed. We each felt it was a privilege to be able to represent Hereford Independent School district not only at home, but statewide. We did get to brag a little, and we enjoyed that. “A friend reminds me that it's not what you go through in life that counts; it's how you look while you're going through it.” Anita Renfroe

AUSTIN – The U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 3 denied the Obama administration’s petition for a rehearing of United States v. Texas, a highprofile immigration case. Heard by the eightmember high court in April, the case ended in a 4-4 deadlock in a late-June ruling. The deadlock left in place a Texas federal district court’s temporary injunction freezing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s November 2014 policies known as “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” and “Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents.” The policies are aimed at forestalling the deportation of an estimated 4 million undocumented immigrants and providing a conditional path to citizenship. In December 2014, Texas was joined by a coalition of other states in a lawsuit challenging the policies as an unconstitutional federal overreach. In February 2015, Brownsville U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen sided with the plaintiffs and granted a petition for temporary injunction. In November 2015, a three-member panel of the New Orleans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the district court’s injunction in a 2-1 split. The Obama administration then appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton welcomed the high court’s Oct. 3 decision not to rehear the case. “The State of Texas’ position has been validated by the U.S. Supreme Court today as they denied the Obama administration’s petition to rehear the immigration case,” Paxton said. “Rewriting national immigration law requires the full and careful consideration of Congress,” he added.

Event

promotes produce

Oct. 1 marked the start of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s annual Local Products Challenge. A g r i c u l t u r e Commissioner Sid Miller on Oct. 3 said the event encourages schools to teach children about healthy foods produced in Texas and to incorporate more locally produced foods into school meals. More than 140 school districts and charter schools have pledged to participate. Miller said that for every $1 spent on local food, $2.16 of economic activity is generated.

Lady Herd muzzles Dogs

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Phot by Bryan Hedrick/HISD

The Whiteface running game is looking for a boost with the return of leading rusher Seth Dixon from injury. Dixon is uncertain for this week's game at Randall.

‘Emotional war’ awaits Whitefaces

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

What has happened to this point is of little merit beyond the fact that Randall and Hereford face off on the gridiron Friday. The Whitefaces (2-4, 0-3) head to Kimbrough Stadium on Friday to take on the Raiders (1-5, 1-2). “Regardless of the situation, Randall will compete hard against Hereford,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “This is a big-time emotional war. We will be ready to go.” Both teams are looking to reverse fortunes as the district slate crosses the

Carbajal led the backline defense with 10 of the Lady Whitefaces’ 26 digs, and Pena, who had all three of the Lady Herd’s aces, added 8. Ellis, Bartels and Vogel

all finished with 3 digs apiece, while Vallejo and Lowrey had 1 each. Lowrey and Castaneda shared front-line defensive honors with 2 blocks each. Ellis recorded 1. “Our blocking has improved,” Foerster said. “I love it. Blocking is a game changer. It affects

the other team’s hitting. “We’re improving, but we’re still a little early. We need to get our timing down.” The Lady Herd was back on the court Tuesday when they visited districtleading Amarillo. They return home Saturday to face Randall. First serve is set for 1 p.m.

midway point. The Raiders are coming off a 34-14 loss to rival Canyon after beating Caprock, 35-21, and losing to Dumas, 29-14, in their league opener. Although struggling some offensively – averaging just 17.5 points per game – the Raiders present a familiar offensive strategy. “They like to run, be physical and come downhill at you,” DeLozier said. “They try to power run, then surprise you with play-action passes.” The Herd has been experiencing offensive

Showing what they are capable of, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces flexed their muscle Saturday on the way to a 3-0 sweep of Plainview in District 3-5A volleyball play. In winning their fifth straight, the Lady Herd (23-13) tightened their grip on a playoff spot in moving to 7-2 in the district. “If we can find some way to string things together for three sets, we’re tough to beat,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We still can’t get the grasp of just beating someone and taking care of it. “It’s a focus issue. We’re getting better, but we’re not where we need to be. We still take a breath when we shouldn’t when we’re ahead.” The breath Saturday came after the Lady Whitefaces jumped out to a 15-1 lead on the way to a 25-8 romp in the first set. Clinging to a 10-9 lead in the second set, the Lady Herd pushed that to 23-12 – then hit a lull. The Lady Bulldogs (9-15, 2-7) rallied and closed to within 23-20, but could get no closer as the Lady Whitefaces finished it out, 25-20. Taking their first lead of the match at 3-2 in the third set, the Lady Dogs extended that to 6-3 before the Lady Herd came out of the lull. Regaining the lead, 8-6, on serves by Danielle Pena, the Lady Whitefaces went on top for good, 109, then saw Brianne Bartels serve to a 16-9 lead on the way to a 25-15 final. Meagan Ellis again paced the Lady Herd’s attack with 10 kills. Jenna Lowrey added 6, and Macy Gudgell had 4. Joselynn Lara and Faith Castaneda chipped in 3 kills each, while Darcy Dodd and Abrie Castillo had 1 apiece. Chandler Vogel doled

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

With the District 3-5A volleyball playoff race turning toward the home stretch, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces are looking for the final five league matches to play out no worse than the first nine. If that be the case – despite a “big week coming” – then the Lady Herd will be sitting relatively pretty come the postseason. After Saturday’s sweep of Plainview, the Lady Whitefaces (23-13) are 7-2 in district play and

currently standing in third place with a three-game lead over Canyon and Dumas, both 4-5. Amarillo (31-6) currently sits atop District 3-5A at 8-0, followed by Randall (32-4) at 7-1. The Lady Herd’s only league losses are to Amarillo and Randall – both of whom loom on this week’s schedule. “This is a big week coming,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “If we could pull one of these off, it would be huge. “There is no special preparation.

The final three matches – Oct. 18 at Palo Duro, Oct. 22 vs. Dumas and Oct. 25 at Caprock – are against teams the Lady Herd has already beaten this year. The closest of those matches – 25-23, 25-22, 25-22 – was at Dumas, who is currently tied for fourth. The top-four finishers will advance to Bi-District play on Oct. 31 against playoff qualifiers from District 4.

A win in either of those matches, effectively clinches the No. 3 spot for the Lady Herd, while at worst they will enter the season’s final three matches with a one-game lead for third.

Whitefaces getting oh, so close By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor Just looking at Friday’s 28-10 final, the Hereford Whitefaces were on the short end of another District 3-5A blowout. However, the game was no blowout. On the contrary, Amarillo only led 7-0 at the half and had seen its 14-0 lead cut to 14-10 when the Sandies received the kickoff after the Herd field goal. Eight plays later – including a trio of big plays – the Sandies had covered 70 yards in 4:43 to extend the lead to 21-10.

HERD: FROM PAGE 7A

woes of their own of late as the rushing attack has faltered in the absence of leading rusher Seth Dixon. Held to only 71 rushing yards after Dixon was injured early in the game at Plainview, the Whitefaces could muster only 2 rushing yards on 19 attempts Friday with him on the sidelines. Hobbled with a high ankle sprain, Dixon is listed as week-to-week, and his status for Friday’s game is uncertain. While the Herd passing game had its best night of the season last week, DeLozier is looking to regain an offensive balance that saw his team score 89 points in opening the year 2-1. “We just have to be ourselves,” he said. “We need to find the running game we haven’t had for the past week or so. “We just have execute what we do and take advantage of what they give us.” Kickoff for Friday’s game is 7 p.m.

The drive featured a 34-yard pass on its second play, a 13-yard run on thirdand-4, and the ultimate dagger – a 22-yard TD pass on thirdand-18. “Other than getting a win, we played well and played hard,” H e r e f o r d coach Don DeLozier said.

touchdown run. “The defensive front continued to play well,” DeLozier said. “We were in the right spots on our assignments except for one play.” While the Whiteface running game struggled in the absence of Seth Dixon for the second straight week – gaining just 2

yards on 19 carries – the aerial attack had its best night of the season. Quarterbacks Luke Nino (9of-15, 111 yards) and Dodge DeLozier (9-of-26, 134 yards) combined to hit 18-of-41 passes for a season-high 245 yards. “We threw the ball better,” DeLozier said. “We saw some windows and got the ball in there. The overall execution in the passing game was better.” A trio of Herd receivers had big nights with Caleb Martinez snaring 6 passes for 45 yards and Dylan McGinty pulling in 3 for a season-high 91 yards. Carlos Gallegos caught 4 passes for 54 yards and accounted for all the Whiteface scoring with a 5-yard TD reception, PAT and 26-yard field goal.

TV LISTINGS cover story

Tim Matheson stars in “Killing Reagan” Sunday on National Geographic Channel.

Matheson, Nixon make a convincing first couple in NatGeo’s ‘Killing Reagan’ By George Dickie © Zap2it

At first glance, Infinite Energy Center in suburban Atlanta would seem an unlikely filming location for a presidential debate scene. But turn the lights down in a conference room filled with production equipment and up on a podium sporting a presidential seal and no one would be any the wiser. It’s a hot early June afternoon in North Georgia, where a production crew is busy film-

ing several scenes for National Geographic Channel’s “Killing Reagan.” The two-hour telepic, which premieres Sunday, Oct. 16, is based on the book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, that follows the events leading up to the 1981 attempt on the life of President Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. The movie actually breaks down into two stories. One is that of Reagan, played in the film by Tim Matheson (“The West Wing,” “Animal House”), the former California governor

who rides voter disenchantment with a foundering economy to an easy victory over Jimmy Carter in the 1980 election. The other is Hinckley’s (Kyle S. More, “Murder in the First,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), a mentally ill child of privilege looking for ways to impress the object of his obsession, “Taxi Driver” actress Jodie Foster. Their stories and lives converge on March 30, 1981, when Hinckley shoots Reagan and three others outside a Washington, D.C., hotel, nearly taking the

life the nation’s 40th chief executive. On this day, Matheson is at the podium filming a soliloquy delivered by Reagan during his famous Oct. 1980 debate with Carter, with Reagan’s actual words played to him through an earpiece. The 68-year-old actor is a stickler for detail, stopping the filming numerous times to get Reagan’s cadence, inflections and pauses down to a tee. Sporting a slicked shell of hair and a dark blue suit, he certainly looks

and sounds the part. But he’s also very wary of coming off as someone doing a Reagan impression. “That’s the danger ...,” he says. “I think the trap is to try and do a mimic of the great speeches and things and not to find the rhythm and the inner thing because nobody’s looking at both of them. (Viewers are) going to be looking at whatever we do and they’re going to go, ‘Is that how it was?’ And then you go and look, ‘Oh, it’s a little slower. He didn’t quite say that

word, he said this word.’ You know, I got a couple of words transposed.” “But I think the most important thing,” Matheson continues, “was to try and find the inner core of what his beliefs were because he had very strong principles about what he believes politically and personally and emotionally. So I was looking just for the inner sort of course that he was taking and then let the outside just take care of itself.”

“When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.”
