Officials alert residents to 'scam' involving legal aid

By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer

Deaf Smith County officials have sounded the alarm to alert citizens of legal scams being perpetuated in the county. Deaf Smith County Clerk of District Court Elaine Gerber reported her office has dealt with an increasing number of residents who appear to be victims of a legal aid scam. The issue specifically surrounds court documents – most often divorce

The scam is the illusion of helping residents, when in reality it is doing the complete opposite. Elaine Gerber Deaf Smith County Clerk of District Court papers, Gerber said - that have reportedly been obtained through what victims believe is the state’s Legal Aid

service. A government agency, Legal Aid is designed to provide legal assistance

to eligible, low-income clients free of charge. According to Gerber, victims have reported paying hundreds of dollars to obtain documents – off the Internet – from what they believe to be Legal Aid. “The scam is the illusion of helping residents, when in reality it is doing the complete opposite,” Gerber said. “Residents are going online, filling out paper work and paying fees believing they are working with Legal Aid.” PLEASE SEE 'SCAM' | 4

Weather yet to slow down airport work By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer

Above, Hereford city workers Richard Sanchez and Joseph Hernandez, and, below, Cesar Vega and Steve Gavina put the finishing touches on holiday decorations in Dameron Park for Monday’s annual Christmas Celebration of Lights.

Meeting cancelled to light up night From Staff Reports

Anyone looking for the Hereford City Commission meeting at city hall on Monday evening is going to come up empty. The board formally cancelled that meeting at its final November meeting on Nov. 21. While commissioners will be assembled Monday, it will not be for their regularly scheduled meeting on the first Monday of the month. Instead, they are planning to gather with most of the rest of the community at Dameron Park as Hereford officially kicks off the holiday season with the annual Christmas Celebration of Lights. City workers put the PLEASE SEE CITY | 4

Crews began work at Hereford Municipal Airport in October with specific plans to bring secondary areas of the facility up to standards of others. After extending and reinforcing the current runway several years ago to accommodate larger aircraft, officials found accompanying taxiways were unable to sustain the increased weight of that traffic. In the spring, Hereford City Commission approved a plan to bring those taxiways up to standards of the runway, as well as reinforce the current aircraft parking lot to handle larger and heavier craft. “Construction is going fine,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said shortly after construction began. “It’s in the early stages and will take nearly a year before completion.” Weather was expected to shut down construction for several months between mid-November and March 2017. With earlier forecasts not holding true, Hanna said construction is on schedule and the crew is finishing up pouring concrete. “All is moving as planned,” Hanna said. “Weather has been good to workers, and they will continue to work until the weather changes.” Dropping temperatures will be a factor HANNA in delaying construction – particularly pouring and setting concrete – turning the workers job from difficult to nearly impossible. According to the Americas Cement Manufactures website, all concrete must be protected from freezing until it has reached a minimum strength of 500 pounds per square inch, which typically happens within the first 24 hours. If concrete freezes while it is still fresh or before it has developed sufficient strength, it may result an irreparable loss in strength. Early freezing can result in a reduction of up to 50 percent in the ultimate strength. “The project is expected to be completed mid-to-late spring 2017,” said project engineer Michael Kruzing of Lubbock-based Parkhill Smith and Cooper. “Everything has been going great, no issues and no concerns.” Kruzing added that the project is being tackled in three phases and roughly 25 percent of the overall work is complete. Concrete, which dominates phase 1 of the project, is approximately halfway complete, he said. “Workers have slowed down due to the Thanksgiving holiday and cold weather,” Kurzing said. “We hope to be done with phase one within the next few weeks.” Depending on weather, phase two of the project should begin early in the new year and run some 90 days before another 90-day phase 3 period prior to completion. “An important part of a successful project is good communication, luckily we have the honor of working with the City of Hereford and good contractors at J. Lee Milligan,” Kruzing said. “We have not had any communication problems so far which has resulted in a very seamless project. “We do not anticipate any problems going forward and anticipate a very successful project completion in 2017.”

Blood drive adds perks as need rises around holidays

By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer

When thinking about the holidays, folks all know it is better to give than receive. Arguably, the best gift to give this holiday season is the gift of life, and nowhere is this truer than in donating blood to save

a life. Amarillo’s Coffee Memorial Blood Center (CMBC) will be making its final 2016 blood drive stop in Hereford in hopes of bringing awareness and the importance of blood donations. The drive will take place at Hereford Community Center on Wednesday from noon-7:00 p.m.

“All blood types are welcomed, and we would like to see the community come together to show their support,” CMBC Marketing and Community Director Suzanne Talley said. “Blood donations tend to go down around the holidays. Blood supply gets very low, and the need for blood increases.”

This event will meet the community center’s yearly goal of hosting five blood drives. Talley encourages the community to take advantage of recently added ways to make your donation the most convenient. To save time, the community is encouraged to set appointments prior to the drive day. Appoint-

ments can be made by calling 806-334-8800 or visiting www. yourbloodinstitute.org. “We have limited time slots available, so we encourage the community to make an appointment to avoid a long wait time,” Talley said. PLEASE SEE NEED | 3

News Crossing ‘The Bridge’

Contributed photo

Taylor Law with the Children’s Advocacy Center’s “The Bridge,” presented an overview of the services the organization provides throughout the top 26 counties in Texas. Law was guest speaker at the Nov. 30 meeting of the Hereford Lions Club. The club meets weekly Wednesday at noon in Hereford Community Center.

NEED: Blood drive set for Dec. 14 FROM PAGE 1

Photo ID is required to donate, and donors must be at least 17 years old – 16 with a signed parental consent form. The need for blood donations is always on the rise especially during the holiday season. When adding extended travel and inclement weather the risk for accident and blood usage increases. “We are always looking for type O-negative (universal donor) that can be given to anyone in a crisis situation,” Talley said. “O positive is the most common blood type.” Adding to the excitement – and providing an

opportunity to occupy the younger ones while mom or dad donates – with be an appearance by the season’s Big Guy in red from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Donors and their families can enjoy milk and fresh-baked cookies while awaiting their time with Mr. Claus. “We invited Santa hoping to draw a bigger crowd,” CMBC Herford board member Erin Hubbard said. “Hopefully, it will spark a little interest in what’s going on. “Pictures with Santa are free of charge and open to the public, but you will need to bring your own camera.” A number of Deaf Smith

County businesses have become part of the event and celebration by donating gift cards as door prizes. Donors names will be collected and winners selected by random drawing. “An event like this takes a lot of help from the community to make it successful,” Hubbard said. “We had a huge turnout at our last drive, and we are expecting a bigger crowd [this year].” In addition to being eligible for the drawings, donors will receive a Christmas-themed, long-sleeved t-shirt and entered into a separate drawing for a oneyear supply of milk.

The couple’s three children and their families hosted a luncheon and celebratory reception for the pair with friends and family. The highlight of the reception was the couple’s cutting an anniversary/wedding cake created by their granddaughter. Below, LeeRoy Rickman and Erma Cross were joined in wedlock on Nov. 27, 1946 in Hereford.

The scam has had an impact on a few residents who have recently filed for divorce and are not getting the results they hoped for. A website called Legal Aid Legal Services is claiming to be Texas legal aid, Gerber said, and is offering legal assistance, but charging a hefty fee before paperwork can be processed. “This is where the scam comes in,” Gerber said. “Legal aid is free. There should be no fee charged to anyone seeking help. “We don’t have an attorney available in our office, so we are not allowed to give any legal advice.” She added that her office will instruct anyone seeking legal advice to visit the official Texas legal aid website at www.texaslawhelp. org. Gerber reported that

one resident was instructed to delivered divorce papers to her office that should have been filed with another county. The resident revealed that $600 had been paid before the papers were printed and released. Concerned, Gerber contacted state Legal Aid offices in Amarillo. An investigation brought Gerber and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas (NWTX) managing attorney Kay Pechin to the conclusion that this in fact was a scam and the NWTX offices were unaware of the issue. “We are called Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, and we do not charge any fees,” Pechin said. “We welcome anyone to apply for services with no charge. “We are here to help the public, and a scam like this discourages that.”

Herd outlasts Chiefs in OT

Lady Whiteface balance leads win From Staff Reports Behind their most balanced offensive attack of the season, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces delighted a home-opener crowd Tuesday with a 49-36 win over Coronado. Rebounding from their first loss, the Lady Herd improved 3-1 on the young season. “We played really well,” Hereford coach Christy Connally said. “They were really tall. Coronado was definitely a former 6A school.” One of a bevy of the area’s 6A schools to drop to 5A, the Lady Mustangs could not take advantage of their height advantage as the Lady Whitefaces took control early. Doubling up on Coronado in the second period, the Lady Herd opened a 22-10 halftime lead that was never threatened. Points came from pretty much across the board as eight of the 10 Lady Whitefaces who played scratched the scorebook. Posting a season high, Elizabeth Ramirez led the Lady Herd with 11 points – 7 in the first half. Sophomore post Andrea Valenzuela also notched a season- and career-high in adding 10 points for the Lady Whitefaces, while Lindsey Carrillo chipped in 8 points.

“We got back to getting the ball into the paint,” Connally said after two games where her guards dominated scoring. “We got there passing into the post and with penetration. It helped disperse the scoring really well. “That really gave Ramirez and Valenzuela a lot of confidence.” Having taken a beating on the boards this season, the Lady Whitefaces were able to keep the battle on the glass close with taller Lady Mustangs. However, a downside to the victory was a lessthan-stellar night at the foul line. For the game, the Lady Herd connected on just 10-of-22 free throw attempts (45.5 percent). However, it was a tale of two halves after they went 0-for-7 in the first half. “Our goal is 70 percent,” Connally said. “We talked about at the half. They knew they were 0-fer. We told them to get to the line and deliver.” The Lady Whitefaces did in the final two quarters – connecting on 10-of-15 (66.7 percent). That potential stumbling block to victory was nullified by the Lady Mustangs having their own troubles at the stripe – where they went 16-of-33 (48.5 percent).

It took an extra period, but the Hereford Whitefaces got back on the winning track Thursday with a 66-61 overtime win over Lake View in the opening round of the San Angelo Tournament. Rebounding from their first loss, the Herd improved to 3-1 and advanced into the tourney’s championship bracket with the openinground victory. Senior post Parker Lowrey bounced back from his poorest outing of the young season to put up a team-high 24 points for the Whitefaces. Through four games, the 6-8 Lowrey – a returning All District 3-5A and All Region 1 selection – has dropped 24, 23 and 24 points in three of them. Bo Baker added 11 points for the Herd, who faced the winner of a Del Rio-Midland first-rounder at noon on Friday. The San Angelo tournament continues through Saturday. In other tournament action, the Lady Whitefaces opened pool play Thursday in the annual Levelland Tournament with a split. They fell behind early in the opener to Eastlake and could not recover for a 6146 loss. For the second straight game, the Lady Herd featured a balanced attack with Lexi Escobal’s 11 points leading the way. Faith Castaneda added 10 points, while Lindsey Carrillo and Elizabeth Ramirez chipped in 8 and 7, respectively. Carrillo scored all of her points in the fourth quarter that included two 3-pointers. The Lady Herd connected on 5-of-9 shots from behind the arc after hitting just 3-of-15 in the previous game. Free throws were again a problem (13-for-23), but was offset by the Lady Chiefs fin-

ishing just 9-of-24. “During the Eastlake game, we struggled on defensive transition and connecting on our free throws,” Hereford coach Christy Connally said. “The Cushing game was a better defensive game, and we did a better job of pushing the ball up for our primary break.” Whatever frustrations the Lady Whitefaces had following the opener, they relieved them in a 64-30 stampede of Cushing. The Lady Herd (4-2) grabbed the game by the throat out of the gate – bolting to a 21-10 lead after one that stretched to 36-18 at intermission. Pressure on the Lady Bearkats mounted in the second half as the Lady Whitefaces held them to only 2 thirdquarter points in cruising home. Three cracked double figures in scoring as all 10 Lady Whitefaces scratched the scorebook. Carrillo led the way with 16 points that included three 3-pointers and 12 secondhalf points. Escobal added 11 points – all in the first half – while Lori Arias finished with 10.

DATED the 28th day of November, 2016.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Last week we discussed grace. At the end of that lesson, I asked the question “because of God’s grace, are all men automatically saved? Is there anything men have to do?”. Look again at Paul’s statement to the Ephesian Christians (Eph 2:8) - “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God”. Paul makes a similar statement in Romans 5: 1-2 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”. Faith can be described as a belief, based on hearing. With this in mind, consider these verses in Romans 10: 14-17” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed our report?’. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Biblical faith comes from hearing the word of God, and faith is essential. Hebrews chapter 11 is a great chapter on faith. Verse 6 of that chapter reads: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.” Look again at Ephesians 1: 7 - “In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” We must have faith which comes from hearing God’s word, and we must be in Christ to access the grace which comes from God. How do we get in Christ? Galatians 3: 26-27 answers this: “For you are all sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” Belief, baptism, diligently seeking God - all of these things are works. Can it be that works play a role when we discuss grace and faith? Next week we’ll look at that. It is our pleasure to bring lessons regarding What The Bible Says.
