One-third of voters avoid Election Day delays By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor Lines were expected to be long and the wait comparable as time came Tuesday for hand to meet lever to decide the fate of the 2016 election. While lines and delays at polls were the norm throughout the nation Tuesday, a third of Deaf Smith County voters avoided the Election Day crowds by voting. According to figures from Deaf Smith County Clerk of Court Imelda
DeLaCerda, there had been 2,911 ballots cast in the county through mailins and early voting as of the close of early voting on Friday. That total represents 33.7 percent of the 8,642 registered voters in the county. Of that 2,911, 2,462 voted early (28.5 percent) with 449 mail-in ballots (5.2 percent) having been received. DeLaCerda said Monday the mail-in numbers could change since they would accepted through

Ban gets 48-hour reprieve
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
More than an inch of rain over the weekend in Deaf Smith County came as a welcome sight to most – and even more so to others. The rain not only brought needed moisture to area crops, pastures and stock, it put a crimp in the ever-present threat of fires. As a result, Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner ordered a lift to the county’s burn ban – but only for a limited time. Wagner said Tuesday the ban would only be lifted for 48 hours before going back into effect. The reason behind the ban getting lifted, but only for a limited time are the same – weather. “Recent rainfall amounts warranted lifting the ban,” Wagner said, “but only for 48 hours because weather projections show no rain for the next two WAGNER weeks.” While the weekend precipitation dramatically reduced the immediate fire threat, Wagner added that the pending and long-range forecasts show dry conditions quickly returning. The Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court reinstated the burn ban at its Oct. 24 meeting in a 3-1 vote that saw Precinct 4 Commissioner Dale Artho dissent. “I catch the most flak from people in my precinct about burn bans, not roads,” Artho said. “If the fire marshal is not calling for a ban, then don’t invoke one.” Wagner said at the Oct. 24 meeting that Hereford Fire Marshal Dean Turney had not officially called for a ban, but “conditions” warranted its consideration. The temporary lifting of the ban should ease most of Artho’s concern over his constituents without garbage service. “The temporary lift will give county residents a chance to burn household trash,” Wagner said, stressing the ban will quickly go back into effect. “Overall, dry conditions will remain, and we need to reinstate the ban due to a prediction of little-to-no rainfall over the next few weeks.” Lifting of the burn ban will run from 8 a.m., Wednesday to 8 a.m., Friday – at which time the ban will go back into effect until further notice.
Welders spark competition Herd takes top spot, dominates Weld-off From Staff Reports Hereford High School (HHS) representatives put the torch to the competition Monday in the 2016 Hereford Weld-off. Some 228 participants representing 21 high schools took part in a day-long event that featured welding competition in six separate categories. Whiteface welders took top prize in four different categories as HHS saw an eventhigh 10 welders place. The top five in each category won awards. Topping the Herd list was Israel Herrera, who placed first in advanced rod welding, second in tig welding and was named the event’s Best Welder. Also winning specific categories for Hereford were Dalton Gabel in tig welding, Brandon Guzman for introduction wire welding and Andres Bustillos in introduction rod welding. Armondo Barrientos of Hereford took second in advanced wire welding, while Emilio Avila placed fifth in advanced rod welding. The Herd nearly swept introduction wire welding. Following Guzman in the top spot were Bustillos in second, Jacob Ramirez in third and Joseph Dennett in fourth. Hereford’s total of 10 awards were the most for any school involved and included an event-high four firsts and three seconds. Palo Duro was next with two firsts and eight total awards to outdistance Tulia – which finished with six awards, none higher than third. Post finished with three awards, while Carragin and Dumas had two each. Groom, Kelten and Caprock rounded out the awards with one apiece.

Opinion World Series gave breather from politics America, did we ever need that. Is there a better moment in sports than the final pitches of an extrainnings showdown in Game 7 of a World Series? Not many, surely. This year, the drama was extraordinary, given the pent-up passions of Cubs fans around the country desperate to end one of the great storylines in all of sports: the 108-year-old curse of the Cubs. Only The Curse could make Cleveland's own dry spell since 1948 seem less compelling a reason to cheer for the home team last night. Of course, a big win never comes without a crushing loss, and so for all the joy flowing around the country from the dazzling end to the Cubs' remarkable season, Cleveland is dealing with sadness as big as Lake Erie. Both teams played hard, with heart, and with sportsmanship. We'd like to give a special shout-out to a surely grieving Corey Kluber, the Coppell native who was aiming to be the first ace since 1968 to win three games in a single series when he took the mound for Cleveland in Game 7. For most of us here in Texas, though, the emotional extremes of the thrilling, 10-inning conclusion to the seventh game of the 2016 World Series fell somewhere between the giddy heights of Wrigleyville and the tears washing into the Cuyahoga River. And thank goodness, because the tension watching those final innings, after Cleveland's two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th tied the game and put Cubs fans' anticipatory celebrations on ice, was about all we could stand. Suddenly we were reliving the edge-of-our-seats terror we felt in 2011 as the Texas Rangers tried, unsuccessfully, to keep their lead in the 11th inning of Game 6 against the St. Louis Cardinals. But no matter which team we cheered for, or really even if we rarely cheer for baseball at all, we all needed this World Series. America has been dealing with an election that has millions of us on edge. Game 7’s top-of-the-10th dilemma – whether to put a midnight pot of coffee on – may prove to have been but a dry run of late-night jitters when the polls start closing. So it was good to be reminded that life is full of things untouched by politics. The passion fueling the fans in both cities was palpable. It was so powerful that it proved irresistible for millions of their countrymen and women. So congrats to both teams. As for the Rangers? '"Next year" starts right now. Dallas Morning News

Tales of Deaf Smith County Veterans Day on Nov. 11 is observed in honor of the armed services and in commemoration of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918. In 1954, the day was renamed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day and given the added significance of honoring all veterans.

Just “show up” at the high school on Avenue F and join this parade to honor our veterans. After the parade, which begins at 4 p.m., the reception will be held at Hereford Community Center. Parking in front of the building will be reserved for guests. MCJROTC cadets will be in the area to assist with parking and with escorting guests to the reception. The reception will include a program provided by students from Tierra Blanca School who will sing the anthem of each branch of the service as a MCJROTC cadet presents the flag of that branch of the service. Richard Lamascus, high school history teacher, will preside at the program. Plan now to be in or to enjoy the parade with your flags and cheers.

AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Sept. 23 filed a petition on behalf of the State of Texas, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate the Texas voter ID law. On Oct. 31, Paxton announced that a coalition of states and members of Congress had filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the United States Supreme Court, in support of Texas’ voter identification law that passed in 2011 as Senate Bill 14. “Our democracy does not work unless voters have confidence that election results are not skewed by fraud,” Paxton said, alleging the existence of a nationwide voter-fraud problem. The coalition in support of the Texas voter ID law includes the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and West Virginia. The states’ brief concludes, “There is no reason to expect that Texas’s Voter ID law will somehow cause substantial harm to voter participation, when nothing of the sort has happened in 10 years of Voter ID in Indiana.” A like-minded amicus brief was submitted to the high court by U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both RTexas, and Sen. David Vitter R-Louisiana; U.S. Reps. John Culberson, Blake Farenthold, Joe Barton, Kevin Brady, Bill Flores, Louie Gohmert, Kay Granger, Michael Burgess, John Carter, Michael Conaway, Jeb Hensarling, Will Hurd, Ted Poe, Sam Johnson, John Ratcliffe, Kenny Marchant, Pete Sessions, Michael McCaul, Lamar Smith, Randy Neugebauer, Mac Thornberry, Pete Olson, Randy Weber, Brian Babin, and Roger Williams, all R-Texas; U.S. Reps. John Fleming, Garrett Graves and Charles W. Boustany Jr. , all R-Louisiana; and U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo, RMississippi. Like the Indiana law, the Texas law requires a citizen to present one of several forms of photo identification in addition to a voter registration certificate before casting a ballot in person. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that the law, while not discriminatory in intent, is discriminatory in effect. Last summer, a federal district court relaxed voter identification requirements for the Nov. 8 general election.

Whitefaces make best of bad situation By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
“We put ourselves behind the 8-ball and broke the cue.” That assessment by Hereford football coach Don DeLozier pretty much sums up Friday’s 62-13 loss to Caprock to close the 2016 season. Just 96 seconds and two interception returns into the game, the Longhorns were already up 14-0 without having run an offensive play. When they finally ran their first play, it was a 95-yard TD pass that gave the Horns a 21-0 lead with 8:15 to go in the first. When the first quarter ended, the Herd was staring up from a 28-0 hole that deepened to a 41-0 chasm as the half. DELOZIER “There is not much good that can come from that,” DeLozier said. “At the half, we talked about being in a hole and told them to consider it a 0-0 game for the second half. “We told them to show some fight and get to work. It was a long, hard fight, but I was proud of the effort.” While any number of 2-7 teams trailing 41-0 at halftime of the season finale would already have their minds on other things during the final two quarters, the Whitefaces responded. Holding the Horns to a three-and-out to open the third, the Herd used 11 plays to go 55 yards to make it 41-6 on a 3-yard Luke Nino-to-Dylan McGinty pass. They added a second score on a 9-yard run by Dodge DeLozier in the fourth quarter to make the second-half score 21-13. While four interceptions and a lost fumble hindered the Herd effort, there were bright spots in the finale. Adrian Hernandez notched the first 100-yard game of his career in his last game as a Whiteface with a 102 yards on 21 carries. Nino went 10-of-23 for 137 yards with
