Election provides surprise

Hereford harrier heads to State

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

With the tennis postseason long over, the football season ending last week and the volleyball team being eliminated from the playoffs Tuesday, the Hereford High fall sports season will officially come to a close Saturday at the UIL Class 5A Cross Country State Championship at Round Rock.

Hopes were as high as the sirens blaring as police escorted Lady Whiteface Sabbath Taylor and entourage out of town Thursday.

“She’s looking good,” Hereford cross country coach Jose Huerta said. “She should at least be in the top 10. If she gets out like she should, it could be a topthree finish.

“A lot of things depend on that – her start, the weather – but should be in medal contention.”

As a freshman last year, the Lady Herd phenom entered the state meet as District 3-5A champion and Region 1 runnerup. She just did miss the medal stand with a fourth-place finish.

After pretty flying under the radar in 2015, Taylor is barely a blip on it this year.

A strong start saw Taylor shave more than a minute off her times in winning the first two meets of this season.

Then, a slight twinge, discomfort and a pop put her on the shelf for the remainder of the regular season.

Admitting from the outset the injury was not serious, Huerta took no chances in hurrying his star back into competition.

“She just took baby steps,” he said. “We could have rushed her back, but we wanted to take a safe approach. She has more at stake than just this season.

“One of the good things is it seems that holding off her comeback has her peaking at the right.”

Taylor was originally slated to return full-time in the Oct. 9 season finale, but was a late scratch due to course conditions.

Her first return to competition was defense of her district title on Oct. 14.

Still on the comeback trail,

There was a lone blip on the election radar Tuesday as Deaf Smith County voters let their voices be heard.

County voters overwhelming backed the right horse in the race for the White House and a number of other favorites before tossing a bit of a curve into a local race.

In one of only two contested county races, Chris Woodard made good a challenge against a quartet of incumbents for one of four atlarge seats on the Deaf Smith County Hospital District Board of Directors.

Woodard not only grabbed one of those seats, but did so in somewhat commanding fashion by accruing the most votes of the five.

In topping the four incumbents, Woodard finished with 1,417 votes to outdistance Harold McNutt (1,320), June Rudd (1,086) and Debbie Gonzalez (1,046), who all retained their seats.

Left out was Rose Mary Barrett, the only with less than 1,000 votes (950).

The other contested county race saw incumbent Republican WOODARD J. Dale Butler retain his seat at Deaf Smith County Sheriff.

Butler had little trouble with a challenge from Independent Fidel Reyna to win 3,279-670.

Garnering 83 percent of the total vote, Butler carried every precinct and held a 2,358-328 edge in early and mail-in voting.

Uncontested county races had Teresa Garth reaffirmed as tax collector/assessor, Bryan Hedrick re-upped at constable and Republicans Chris Kahlich and Mike Brumley selected as respective commissioners for Precincts 1 and 3.

Precinct 1’s Kahlich had beaten Armando Gonzalez in the March primary and was unopposed Tuesday to take over for retiring commissioner Pat Smith.

Brumley, who was running for re-election, was unopposed throughout the election season.

Just less than half of the 8,642 registered voters in Deaf Smith County took part in the election with a total of 4,295 ballots being cast (49.65 percent).

Of that total, only 1,384 came out to the polls on Tuesday with 2,911 having taken part in early or mail-in voting.

“It was a littler heavier turnout than expected,” Deaf Smith County Clerk of Court Imelda DeLaCerda said. “Both early voting and Election Day were heavier than we were expecting.

“Still, everything went well at all the polls.

There were no problems.

Voters gave a local landslide to GOP hopeful Donald Trump on his way to the White House.

Capturing 69 percent of the county tally, Trump finished with 2,911 local votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 1,185.

Despite the landslide, Clinton did take a county precinct – edging Trump, 128-124, on Election Day in Precinct 1.

Local voters also joined the remainder of the state’s 13th Congressional District in reelecting Republican Mac Thornberry to a 12th term with a 90 percent majority.

Prelude your feast at Turkey Trot 5K

By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer

BRAND file photo

Hereford's Sabbatha Taylor is expected among the top 10 at the State Cross Country Meet.

Holidays traditionally bring angst over overeating and staying healthy – and no where is that more true than with Thanksgiving.

However, this year, holiday revelers in Hereford can fend off some of those holiday calories before they are even taken in at the Hereford YMCA Turkey Trot 5K Gobbler Race and 2-mile walk/run.

“Put the turkey in the oven and come burn

calories,” Hereford YMCA director Cindy Simons said.

The gun to start the 5K Gobbler race and 2-mile walk/run will sound from the YMCA parking lot at 8:30 a.m., sharp. The 5K course will follow the traditional route of the Greg Black race.

Participants in the 2-mile walk/run participants will start line behind the 5K runners on 15th Street in front of the YMCA. PLEASE SEE TROT | 3

BRAND/John Carson

The highlight to Hereford Senior Citizens’ annual Festival of Trees is a banquet and auction of the trees. In addition to perusing silent auction items, revelers got a good look at some 30 different Christmas trees and decorations. Trees, decorations and other images from the auction will be published throughout this holiday season.

In Memory of Marian Goodin 1930-2016

Marian Goodin, 85, lifetime Hereford resident, was called home to the Lord, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2016, in Hereford.

A memorial celebration of life service is scheduled for 11:30 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 12 at First Baptist Church with the Revs. Joe Elam, Interim Pastor and Dennis Latham officiating. Services are under direction of Hereford Heritage Funeral Home.

Marian was born Nov. 25, 1930, in Hereford. She was a member of the Hereford band, where she played the bass drum. She graduated from Hereford High School in 1948. Shortly thereafter, on Aug. 29, 1948, she married her best friend, love of her life and soulmate Calvin Goodin, They were married for 68 years. Marian was a member of First Baptist Church and Texas Retired Teachers Association. She taught art at Hereford Junior High for approximately 13 years. Marian liked to travel, read, paint, ceramics, cook, bake and spend time with her family and grandchildren. "Moms," as she was called by her family, liked to go to Conchas Lake, N.M., and spend time with

her family and water ski with Calvin and the rest. Her cherished moments were spending time with her best friend, Calvin. Marian will be dearly missed by the family and a host of many friends who love her.

Marian was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and LaVerne; son Brian Keith Godin (1995); granddaughter Cassie Goodin (2006); and grandson Owen Jude Henderson (2016).

Survivors left behind to cherish her memories are her husband, Calvin of the home; daughter Ginger Wallace and husband Joe of Hereford; son Gary Goodin and wife Mary of McQueeney; 4 sisters Pat Barrett of Amarillo, Abbie Blackstock and husband Bill of Kissimmee, Fla., Nan Walker of Kissimmee, Fla., and Cynthia Streun-Hartley and husband Ed of Hereford; brother Bill McMinn and wife Cheryl of Dallas; eight grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; several cousins, nieces and nephews; and "special" family member and caregiver Marie Cline of Hereford.

Adoptable Pet Of The Week

Samantha is our go to girl at the shelter! If you want a good natured and super friendly dog ­this is her. When she first came to us she came with a litter of puppies and she was extremely malnourished and had no hair along her back or hind end. Her owners had moved out of the house and left her with no food or water. Thankfully she was saved in time and now she is a picture of health! She is absolutely gorgeous and all she needs now is a loving family. She does good with most all other dogs, she seems to like children, and she is still so playful and fun! She is about 2-3 years old we think she is a likely a shepherd mix. If you are interested in making this golden girl yours

Huerta said the strategy for both the district and region meets was to not worry about defending anything – just finish in the top 10 to qualify for the next level.

Taylor did that by placing fifth at district and seventh at region.

Back to a normal training routine, Taylor has been able to hone her focus thanks to last year’s experience running at state.

“I know the kind of race I need to run,” she said. “I just have to go out and run it. I want to start fast so I know the pace and attack from there.”

Confident she “can do well,” Taylor will toe the tap with her competitors at 10 a.m., Saturday.

“She is definitely where she needs to be at this time,” Huerta said.

Sports Lady Herd goes down swinging in regionals From Staff Reports AMARILLO – The final might have been a sweep, but the Hereford Lady Whitefaces did not go down without a fight Tuesday in the UIL Class 5A Region 1 volleyball quarterfinals.

The Lady Herd saw a five-match win streak snapped and their season end at 28-16 in a 3-0 loss to District 3-5A rival Randall – the last team to beat them – at Caprock High.

The Lady Raiders just did edge the Lady Whitefaces in the opening set, 26-24, before outlasting them in second, 27-25.

Finally able to establish a lead in the third set, the Lady Raiders closed it out with a 2517 win.

Meagan Ellis ended her Lady Herd career with a team-high 16 kills, 5 digs, team-high 2 blocks and an ace.

Senior Macy Gudgell added 8 kills, while Josalynn Lara and Jenna Lowrey chipped in 3 each.

Abrie Castillo and Carmen Flood had 2 kills apiece, and Faith Castaneda rounded out the scoring with 1.

Chandler Vogel (15) and Alyssa Vallejo (12) accounted for all Lady Herd assists.

Pacing the back-line defense with 10 digs was Brianne Bartels, and joining Ellis with 5 was Vogel.

Danielle Pena finished with 3 digs as Castaneda and Alexus Carbajal had 2 each and five others recorded 1 apiece.

Lara shared team block honors with Ellis after rejecting 2, while Lowrey and Gudgell each added 1.

Vogel also accounted for 6 of the Lady Herd’s 8 aces.

This season was the second straight to see the Lady Whitefaces advance to the Region 1 quarterfinals of the postseason.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Baptism is a subject not always upon agreed among religious people.

Let’s look at a few verses regarding baptism.

Matt 28: 19 Christ said “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.

Mark 16: 15-16 Christ speaking, and he said to them “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned”.

In the second chapter of Acts, on the day of Pentecost, Peter preaches to the Jews. He told them they had killed the Son of God (verse 36).

In verse 37, the men asked what they could do. In verse 38, Peter responded “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins ... “ Acts 8:5 “Then Phillip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them”. Verse 12” But when they believed Phillip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized”.

In Acts 16: 11-40, Paul and Silas are in Phillipi. We read of Lydia and her household being baptized (vs 14-15). After this, Paul and Silas were beaten and imprisoned; an earthquake freed them. The jailer was about to kill himself, but Paul stopped him, saying that all the prisoners are here (vs 28). In verse 30, the jailer asked” Sirs, what must I do to be saved”? So they said “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household”. Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.

In Acts 18: 8, we read “Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized”.

This does not exhaust verses regarding baptism in the Bible, and next week we’ll look at a few more. But these verses do show that people heard the gospel, they believed and were baptized. According to Christ in Mark 16: 16, if they believed and were baptized, they were saved.

How is it with you? God’s teaching is simple, not hard to understand.

We would like to share the gospel message with you. Call today for your free Bible .
