DSCHD gives county ‘pretty neat deal’ By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Less than a fortnight after approval from its board, the Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) officially made a donation to the county during Monday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court. “It’s a pretty neat deal,” Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner said. “The hospital district is graciously donating an old am-
bulance to the sheriff’s office.” Wheels began turning on the donation at the Nov. 17 meeting of the DSCHD Board of Directors over discussions of a new ambulance and what to do with the older unit it is replacing. Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) CEO Jeff Barnhart presented the board with the option of selling the old ambulance or keeping for other county uses. Deaf Smith County Sheriff
J. Dale Butler expressed interest in the unit for DSCSO use, and the decision was ultimately made for DSCHD to donate the old ambulance to DSCSO. “We wanted to turn it over to the sheriff’s office for use as a service vehicle,” Deaf Smith County EMS Director Marcos Castro said to commissioners. “That is ultimately a much better use for it than trying to sell it or stripping it for parts.” Barnhart, who also attended the meeting, added that the re-
placed unit did not have much re-sale or trade-in value and the donation allows it to remain in county service. At both the DSCHD and county meetings, Butler pointed the myriad of potential uses for the vehicle. “We could use this as a way to haul our tactical team,” he said. “Due to the storage room, we could also us this as a crime scene vehicle. “This vehicle would be used as a multi-purpose vehicle to
Celebration set to light up holidays
Students, staff join forces for success
By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer
By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer Working together to improve reading and writing skills for the students at Hereford High School (HHS) has become a focal point of school administrations, faculty and students. The issue was the forefront of the Nov. 21 meeting of the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees received an update on the effort from school officials. HHS principal Richard Sauceda and assistant principal Rachel Ramirez presented the reading program to the board as part of the school’s broader campus improvement module. Focused on improving state test scores – along with increasing potentials for English and language learning – HHS staff and students have joined forces to succeed. “I found that the goals and accomplishments of the staff and students at HHS to be very encouraging,” HISD chief academic officer Mark Stokes said. “The more you read the better your skills become. “The HHS library has seen an improvement as well. More students are in the library checking out books.” After attending a Texas Accountability IntervenPLEASE SEE SUCCESS | 8
service the residents of Deaf Smith County.” Butler added the vehicle will see a variety of uses and incarnations while with DSCSO – up to and including eventual use as an armored, tactical vehicle. Commissioners did not hesitate in approving the donation. “This is a great gesture,” Precinct 2 Commissioner Jerry O’Connor said. “This allows us to keep the unit taxpayers have already paid for in use and in the county.”
Sound the bell BRAND/John Carson
The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign officially kicked off in Deaf Smith County on Nov. 25. Kettles and bell ringers will be set up throughout December at Walmart, Amigo’s and Food King soliciting donations to assist those in need this holiday season. All donations made at local outlets will remain in and be used for Deaf Smith County residents. Above, getting in his grunt duty manning the bell Sunday at Walmart is Hereford High School U.S. Marine Corps JROTC Pfc. Jesus Yanez.
The annual community welcome to the holiday season is lined up, set and ready to have the flip switched as the 2016 Christmas Celebration of Lights draws nearer. The event is a joint venture by the City of Hereford and Deaf Smith County Chamber of Commerce. Set to commence Monday at sundown, the festival will start with the annual parade of lights with 20-30 expected entries. The parade will begin on the corner of Avenue E and Park Avenue and follow the traditional path down Main Street, ending on Second Street. Parade participants are to meet in the Dameron Park parking lot next to daylight donuts. According to chamber ex ecu ti v e di rector Sid Shaw, the festival has been a part of the community for over 10 years and is something SHAW the community looks forward to every year. “We would like to invite the entire community to come out and take part in this celebration,” Shaw said. “The festival is a free event, open to the public, bringing the residents of Hereford together for one night to spread Christmas cheer.” Following the parade, the festival moves to Dameron Park for the sounds of traditional Christmas carols performed by the Hereford High School choir. Hot chocolate will be available while awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus. Per tradition, community financial institutions will sponsor refreshments and fellowship in Hereford Community Center. “Even though the city prepares for the festival, it’s the chamber that puts together this magical evening,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said.
Let there be (traffic) lights...well, not yet By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer Anyone traveling along 25 Mile Avenue during the past five months can readily attest to the bane traffic became around the intersection of Moreman Street. The culprit was the destruction – in separate incidents – of the traffic light standards on opposing corners of the intersection. One was damaged by a construction truck removing debris from a paving project at Northwest Elementary School on July 1. The other was damaged less than an hour later by
a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) truck responding to the first incident. While portable temporary lights were installed, traffic has been hampered on a daily basis awaiting repairs. The situation was exacerbated a few weeks ago when gusting winds toppled one of the temporary lights. Fortunate there was no oncoming traffic, the standard fell into a traffic lane. As a response, TxDOT closed the right lanes in both directions around the intersection – further bottlenecking traffic. However, hope appeared
on Monday’s horizon when TxDOT crews finally began installing the permanent standards. As it turned out, the age of the standards played a prominent role in delaying repairs as TxDOT officials reportedly combed the state in search of replacements. “If we can find one that will work, then it won’t take us to long to change them out,” TxDOT traffic engineer Mike Fowler said. “If a suitable replacement could not be found, then TxDOT would have to order one, and that process could take months.” PLEASE SEE LIGHTS | 8

Opinion Baseless claims could weaken Trump's term When you tell a whopper, it undermines the truth needed to govern. That's what President-elect Donald Trump has done by claiming to have won the popular vote after discounting "the millions of people who voted illegally." Trump offered no evidence of voter fraud, and by so baldly staking a demonstrably false claim, he risks damaging the integrity of the very representative democracy that just elected him president. The latest firestorm erupted after Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein called for a recount of the Nov. 8 popular vote in Wisconsin and other key Midwestern states. Supporters of Hillary Clinton ¬– who hasn't challenged the election outcome – joined the recount chorus. Nobody credible is asserting that a recount will change the election outcome. The margins in the states to be recounted aren't expected to alter Trump's tally in the Electoral College. He is hardly the first president to lose the popular vote and win the Electoral College. It's happened four other times, the most recent being George W. Bush in 2000. The purpose of the recount is to assure a fair and accurate election process. Still, Trump couldn't resist unleashing a Twitter tirade that referenced "millions of people who voted illegally" and called into question the integrity of the vote count in California, New Hampshire and Virginia – all states that Clinton won by larger margins and aren't being recounted. The fact is that Clinton won the popular vote by some as-yet-undetermined margin in the millions and that Trump overwhelmingly claimed the electoral count. As a result, Trump will be the next occupant of the White House. Seeking greater clarity about the former doesn't undermine the latter. Sadly, Trump again has let his ego and impulsive fingers perpetuate a blatant untruth, which some suggest might have originated with a fake news story and tweet. Trump is entitled to his opinions, but, as the saying goes, he's not entitled to his own facts. For him to suggest that millions of votes were stolen without evidence recklessly assaults the integrity of voters and adds to mounting national cynicism. With his baseless claim, the president-elect is essentially suggesting that all results, including his own win, should not be trusted. The loss of legitimacy is the kiss of death to any presidency. The legitimacy of elections is the backbone of the peaceful transition of power and authority to govern. Trump should be able to operate from a position of strength; this recount holds no threat to him. He should let the recount mechanism work as it is a right under the law. Voters have spoken. Donald Trump is president-elect. He needs to devote his full energies to putting together a leadership team that can hit the ground running in January. Leave the recount issues to the campaign staff and get on with the process of being the next president. Dallas Morning News

again employed by previous employers and received temporary wage increases. In 1967, a historical marker was placed about 5 miles east of Hereford on U.S. 60 to commemorate the 1883 strike. The marker, which disappeared some years ago read: “Great Cowboy Strike: Began in the Spring of 1883 when range hands from LS, LX, LIT and other large ranches organized a strike for better wages; was a reaction to loss of privileges given earlier and to attitude of big land owners toward cowboys. Several hired hands gathered at Alamocitas, headquarters of the LS, to protest. Men on every ranch soon asked for higher pay, but strike failed due to surplus of cowboys and no means to enforce demands. Strike gave force to little men opposing cattle barons and three years later erupted in Tascosa into one of the bloodiest gun fights the West had ever seen. (1967)” Cowboys today, just as in the early days, are important to the ranching and cattle business. And, just as long ago, the work that they do requires long hours and many skills and is sometimes dangerous. But surely they receive more than $35 to $40 per month. “Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.” James M. Barrie
AUSTIN – A crowd of citizens and dignitaries gathered on the south lawn of the state Capitol on Nov. 19 to witness the unveiling of the Texas African American History Memorial. The 32-foot-wide, 27-foot-tall bronze monument by sculptor Ed Dwight depicts images of African-Americans in Texas from modern times going back nearly 500 years. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, a former longtime member of the Texas House of Representatives, spoke at the event. “This monument stands as a marker that no matter how smart you may think you are, no matter how gifted you may be, and no matter what contribution you may have made, we are standing on the foundation and the shoulders of people who have sacrificed to get us where we are today,” Turner said. Gov. Greg Abbott, who also delivered remarks at the ceremony, said: “Today we come together to proudly honor the African-Americans who helped to grow Texas from the bounty of the land, from the sweat of their toil and from the passion of their dreams. “We are reminded that our work is not yet done, If we are to truly elevate Texas to its limitless potential, we must continue to expand liberty and opportunity for all.” The effort to have a monument to the contributions of Texas’ AfricanAmericans commissioned and installed on the Capitol grounds was launched some 20 years ago, according to the Texas AfricanAmerican Memorial Foundation, an organization created to raise funds for the project.
Anti-smoking
bills filed
State Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, recently filed SB 183, legislation to increase the legal age to purchase, possess or consume tobacco and nicotine products in Texas from 18 to 21 years of age. Uresti also filed SB 228, legislation that would allow municipalities to determine a smoking age that is best for their communities. The bills are supported by a broad coalition of Texans, Uresti said, and pointed out that “tobacco use kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined.” Cities and the state have an obligation to discourage young people from taking up a habit that is likely to shorten their lives, he added.

Church News Fellowship of Believers As our thoughts turn from Thanksgiving toward Christmas, we begin the season with a look at two people in the Bethlehem story who are often overlooked. Pastor Danny Mize will share a lesson called "Mary & Joseph – Willing to be Used by God." The related Scripture reading will come from Matthew 1:18-24. We will consider three lessons: 1. Mary and Joseph submitted themselves to God; 2. Joseph was a good man who did the right thing; 3. Joseph was willing to call His name Jesus. The hymns we will sing together include: "Joy to the World!" "Have Thine Own Way, Lord" "Rise Up, O Church of God" "There's Something About That Name" and "Come to the Table." Peggy Mize will lead our singing, with piano accompaniment provided by Cindy Cassels. Communion, offered to all who wish to partake, will be an important part of the service. Fellowship and refreshments will be available by 10:00 a.m. and the worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. Fellowship of Believers is located at 245 N. Kingwood, and everyone is welcome to come join us.

Girls pin River Road; boys nab tri-dual split From Staff Reports

Flanked by family, friends, current and future coaches, Lady Herd softball star Alexus Carbajal formally signs scholarship papers with Frank Phillips College in Borger.
Diamond gem inks grant
From Staff Reports
Getting some bang for their early-signing buck, Frank Phillips College dipped into the Hereford High diamond and pulled out a gem. On Nov. 18, Lady Whiteface senior Alexus Carbajal put her name on the line to continue her softball career for the Lady Plainsmen in Borger. “She has contributed a lot of hard work to help lay a foundation for this softball program and help build it,” Hereford softball coach Ashley Marquez said. “She has played a big part in all the success her team is accomplishing because of her leadership, attitude and communication skills. “I am glad we still have one last season ahead of us before she takes her talent to the next level.” Carbajal’s signing is the first for a Lady Herd softball player since 2007 and one that came without much question during the earlysigning period. A look at Carbajal’s 2015 numbers show all of what most would need to know as she finished among the top five in all but one of eight offensive statistical categories. Of those seven categories, she was second in four and third in another. Carbajal finished last season with a .340 batting average (fourth) while posting the third-best onbase percentage (.427) and second-best slugging percentage (.745). Placing fifth with 32 total hits for the season, Carbajal ran the No. 2 table in home runs (8), doubles (14), RBI (37) and runs scored (33) behind team leader Abrie Castillo. While Carbajal’s numbers

A late pin and heavyweight forfeit were enough to lift Boys Ranch past Hereford, 42-37, in part of a tri-dual match Nov. 22 at Boys Ranch. The Herd jumped out of the gate against the Roughriders as Jossue Garcia (106 pounds), Ruben Galvan (120) and Adrian Ayala (132) all won by pins and 126-pounder Priciliano Ruelas notched a 14-10 victory to open a 21-6 lead. Pins at 138 and 152 sandwiched a forfeit at 145 as the Roughriders took the lead 24-21. Joel Montijo recorded a first-period pin at 160
pounds, and 170-pounder Diefo Ruelas notched a 12-1 major decision to put the Whitefaces back on top, 31-24, with four weight classes left. The Herd still led 3730 after Damien Lucio got the slap at 3:33 of the 195-pound match, but a pin loss at 220 and forfeit at 285 gave the Roughriders the victory. In the other dual, the Whitefaces blanked River Road, 65-0. Garcia, Ruben Galvan, Ayala and Angel Galvan at 145 all won by pins, as did Angel Galvan, Montijo and Diego Ruelas. Priciliano Ruelas took a 19-4 technical fall at 126 pounds, and the Herd

A multi-faceted defensive player, Alexus Carbajal can also bring the lumber after placing in the top three of six offensive categories last season and in the top five of two others. are undeniable, it was much more than that piqued interest in her beyond high school and led to the scholarship offer. “She is what I like to call a natural softball player,” Marquez said. “She was thrown to the wolves her freshmen year by pitching 95 percent of that season. “As a coach, I didn’t see a freshman athlete on the field, I saw a softball player who loved to play the game and also understood the game.” Whether for ultimate good or bad, that ability has led to a somewhat vagabond
existence for Carbajal on the Lady Whiteface diamond. She moved from the circle to first base for her sophomore season, then took over at shortstop last year. Toss in summer ball, where she patrols the outfield, and Carbajal brings a variety of experience to any table. “That just goes to show the type of player she truly is,” Marquez said. “You never heard her complain. She handled the pressure that came with each position and did her best wherever she was to help her team be successful."
received forfeits at 106, 138, 152, 195 and 220. The Lady Whitefaces were also in action at Boys Ranch against River Road as they stuffed the Lady Panthers, 48-12. Only three of the 10 weight classes saw competition as the Lady Herd took forfeits at 95 pounds, 110, 119, 128, 165, 185 and 215. Hereford’s Samantha Garcia got the slap at 43 seconds of the first period at 102 pounds, while the Lady Panthers picked their only wins with back-toback pins at 138 and 148. Both the Whitefaces and lady Herd are back on the mat Friday when they take part in the Wayland Duels.
LUBBOCK – The Hereford Whitefaces found themselves on the other end of the defensive pressure stick Friday in an 80-28 loss to Permian at the Estacado Thanksgiving Classic. The loss was the first for the Herd (21) after opening the season with a pair of wins. “There was a lot of full-court pressure – all game long,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “We turned it over a lot. They are very athletic. “You can’t let pressure teams get easy baskets so they can set their press. When you play a good team, you can’t do that. The pressure got to us at times.” The Panthers grabbed the game by the throat early in opening a 20-0 and never loosened their grip. With a 21-4 first-quarter bulge, the Panthers scored all they would in stretching the lead to 51-12 at the half. The Herd was outscored 29-16 in the second half and held to single-digit scoring in every quarter. “They are a good team,” Villegas said, “and good teams will get on runs – and they did. When that happens, it is hard to make up those points.” While the Panthers had 10 players scratch the scorebook – including three
in double figures – the Whitefaces only saw a total of six players score and none crack double digits. Post Parker Lowrey led the Herd with 7 points, and Kaleb Suarez added 6 on a pair of second-quarter 3-pointers. Matt Herrera finished with 5 points, while Dodge DeLozier and Sergio Cruz chipped in 4 points each. Bo Baker rounded out Herd scoring with 2 points. Tournament time continues for the Herd this week when they get back on the floor Thursday in the Doug McCutchen Memorial Tournament at San Angelo High School against Lake View. Thursday’s outcome will determine whether the Whitefaces advance into the championship or consolation brackets for play Friday and Saturday. The following week – Dec. 8-9 – comes the annual trek for tournament play in Liberal, Kansas on Thursday and Friday.

JV girls stampede past Lubbock From Staff Reports Following an 0’fer in four tournament games the preceding weekend, the Hereford JV Lady Whitefaces bounced back to cruise past host Lubbock, 67-23, on Nov. 22. Scoring almost all they would in opening a 21-4 first-quarter lead, the Lady Herd stretched that to 3911 at the half and never looked in outscoring the Lady Westerners, 28-12 in the final two periods.
Arianna Claudio led the Hereford stampede with a game-high 14 points, while Zaylin Campos added 13. After opening the season with a win, the Hereford Lady Whiteface JV basketball team ran into hard times at the Nov. 18-19 Amarillo High JV Tournament. Opening play Nov. 18, the Lady JV Herd fell to Randall, 64-22, and Amarillo, 3811. Claudio led the effort against Randall with 8 points, while Campos led
with 8 against Amarillo. Things did not improve Saturday in a 52-13 loss to Tascosa and 51-27 loss to Palo Duro.

Delta Xi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International, a society of key women educators, met Nov. 7 at Hereford Community Center. Refreshments were provided by hostesses Brenda Campbell, Sheri Blankenship, Linda Cumpton, and Celeste Ramirez. Tables were decorated with a Thanksgiving theme. The program was presented by Blankenship, HISD superintendent, on the possibility of a new bond proposal. She discussed items that were on the previous bond proposal and emphasized the areas in the school district that are in most need of
the funds that would be provided by a bond. She said communicating better with the community on these needs would be a priority if a bond proposal is made for the May election. The business meeting was conducted by chapter president Kathie Kerr and included approval of minutes and a treasurer’s report by Annette Villarreal. Kerr announced two awards won by Delta Xi’s chapter yearbook. The Early Bird and Exemplary Yearbook awards were received. Sue Powell and Dorothy Sydloski were applauded for their great work. The October Achievement Award was given to
Angie Constancio, Carolyn Hiltbrunner and Maureen Self for their role in the transition to new school superintendent. The November Achievement Award was presented to Courtney O’Neal for her recognitions as Fathers Add Value Step Up and Step in Educators Award and appointed for the Golden Rule by the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative by Dubb and Ambassador Clyde Rivers. Members with November birthdays were recognized. Members shared “brags,” and Marge Bell won the prize for wearing the key pin. The next meeting will be held Dec. 5 at Hereford Community Center.

Hereford native James Cook took the final step recently in his rise to the top of the Vernon Fire Department when he was named the department’s new captain. The son of Kenneth and Linda Cook, Cook was a 2004 graduate of Hereford High School before graduating from the Amarillo College Fire Academy and earning his state firefighter certification in 2006. In 2007, he added EMT certification and became a Vernon firefighter in 2008. During his tenure in Vernon, he became a fire instructor trainer in 2011, promoted to senior firefighter in 2014 and lieutenant in 2015.

tion System (TAIS) process, Sauceda and Ramirez found that data and system safeguards showed students struggled in specific reading disciplines. Although HHS met all 2016 state assessment standards – after being the only HISD school to fall short in 2015 – the bar is being raised at the high school. “It’s going to take us all as a school to achieve the goals we have set,” Ramirez said. As part of the target improvement plan, the staff has come together to take part in a book study. Among the required reading list is “Book Love” by Penny Kittle, which contains the quote “student have to read.” The quote – and its meaning – fully illustrate the program’s assets, according to Sauceda. “Whether it’s a magazine or local newspaper, students need to read,” he said. “When they start off reading the easy stuff, they will build confidence. “Once they build confidence, they need to get into the novels and classics to build skills.”
Sauceda cited another quote from the book that draws comparison to reading being the “oxygen” for a student’s future. “If we remove all the oxygen from the room what will happen to us?” he said. “So it’s critical that our students read.” Ramirez said part of the target improvement plan is a high school writing group they call Quick Writes that focuses on sharpening student writing skills. Each day when students arrive to their respective English classes, they are instructed to write in journals. Daily journal writing comes as part of the Capturing Kids Hearts initiative. Along with Quick Writes, teachers have added Book Talk, a three-minute discussion on a book teachers are reading and recommend to students. “Writing goes hand in hand with reading and adds to the student’s success,” Ramirez said. “Strategy wise, HHS teachers teach each other. “Our goal is to build stronger readers and writers,” Ramirez said.

None could be found. Subsequently, what potentially “won’t take us long” turned into “could take months” as TxDOT had the proper standards made. Both of the new standards – including traffic signals – had been installed by Tuesday afternoon. However, traffic remained snarled as neither was yet functional and the intersection reverted to a four-way stop. No exact timetable has been given for when the new lights would be functioning.
