Fires heighten prevention awareness

By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer A pair of reported house fires Tuesday not only kept Hereford Fire Department (HFD) busy, they shined more than a holiday light on the need for persistence fire awareness and prevention.

HFD responded to a call Tuesday to the intersection of Avenue C and 13th Street at 2:40 p.m.

The call came in as a house fire, which left two occupants in shock as the presence of a blaze was unknown.

The fire appeared to have started in a storage shed by a fence in the resident’s backyard.

Oblivious to the fire, occupants were made known of the situation by neighbors and immediately evacuated the structure and getting to safety before emergen-

cy services arrived.

The fire spread from the shed to the nearby wooden fence and caused minimal damage to the residence before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames.

“The cause of the fire is unknown,” Hereford Fire Marshal Dean Turney said. “There was very little damage to the house, but the structure [shed] did not have the same results.

“HFD was on scene in a matter of minutes, and the fire was contained quickly.”

Although no occupants were injured and no costly damage was reported during the 10-minute blaze, the same cannot be said of another fire later Tuesday.

In a similar case, a call around 11 p.m., alerted firefighters to a PLEASE SEE FIRES | 2

Holidays in Hereford

Brummetts forging new traditions, but no baking

By Chris Aguilar BRAND Staff Writer

High-flyin’ Herd BRAND/John Carson

Hereford’s Caleb Martinez (5) goes airborne for two of his 10 first-quarter points during Tuesday’s 80-50 stampede past San Jacinto Christian Academy. For more details, comments and stats for that game, as well as the Lady Herd’s District 3-5A opener at Canyon, see Sports, page 7.

Christmas traditions are in the making in the Brummett home this holiday season.

Growing up, Christmas family traditions were different in the homes of Chris and Sara Brummett.

Some traditions have come and gone, while others are being revived for the couple’s five children.

As a girl in Walden, Colo., Sara and her family spent Christmas morning eating French toast, sausage and an egg bake – a mixture of several ingredients baked as a casserole – prepared by her mother before opening presents.

As Sara, her mom and older sister prepared for the day’s events, Sara’s dad spent the rest of the morning on the family’s ranch feeding the animals.

After breakfast, the family would travel to town to spend the day with dads’ family, joining them for Christmas dinner.

“We always had a white Christmas in mountains,” Sara said. “The best part of the holiday was the food.

There was always so much yummy food.”

Decorating the tree together has always been a part of their family tradition.

Something Sara said was her favorite thing about Christmas.

“Every year, we would decorate the tree together,” Sara said. “We would hang a

Holiday blood drive honors Hereford helpers for service

BRAND/Chris Aguilar

Getting the seat of honor on Santa’s lap, Hereford CMBC board members Julie Butler, left, and Peggy Cox, right, were joined by the Jolly Old Elf, CMBC officials and Deaf Smith County Sheriff J. Dale Butler, right, in celebrating their service to the community.

Some might agree that during the holiday season it is better to give than to receive. The staff at Coffee Blood Memorial Center (CBMC) found this to be true during Wednesday’s CMBC Christmas-themed blood drive at Hereford Community Center (HCC).

The two centers joined forces to host their last event of 2016. Inviting donors from Deaf Smith County and surrounding areas in

hopes of preparing for the holiday season.

“Blood donations tend to go down during the holiday season,” CMBC Marketing and Community Director Suzanne Talley said. “Blood supply gets very low, and the need for blood increases.

During the holiday season residents tend to do a little more traveling, visiting family, and friends adding more vehicles on roads and highways. The number of holiday travelers increases the chances of vehicle collisions which could increase

the need for blood.

“We had a successful event,” CMBC Hereford board member Erin Hubbard said. “We had Santa, cookies and milk.

“I think all the door prizes donated by local business helped to bring in the numbers.”

Santa helped keep the youngsters occupied while parents waited to donate.

He and elves provided children with treat-filled goodie bags.

Christmas.”

As part of their Christmas Eve tradition, the family would celebrate by cooking steak and crab legs.

Not your traditional holiday meal for some, but for Sara’s family. it was something they looked forward to every year.

“I guess we ate steak because we lived on a farm, and the crab legs were because my mom grew up in Washington,” Sara said “Steak and crab was bringing my dad’s tradition as he grew up on the ranch and my mom’s tradition, she grew up near the beach in Washington.”

Her dad decided to relocate the family to the Beef Capital of the World, after visiting a friend and falling in love with Hereford.

For Chris and his family, Christmas traditions were a little different.

“We really didn’t do much as a family,” Chris said. “My dad hauled cattle for 37 years and was always gone working. We would wake up, open gifts and that was about it.”

Born and raised in Hereford, Chris would spend a few Christmas’ with aunts and uncles but as the years passed they would eventually move, and the holiday would then be spent with his mom and brother.

Though traditions were not big in Chris’ family, he plans to change that.

“We are doing Sara’s family tradition,” Chris said.

“We are collecting orna-

ments, and every year while decorating the tree, we can look back and remember each Christmas we spent together.”

Having three children and a set of twins has changed a lot of traditions for the Brummett family. Last Christmas, Sara wanted to start a tradition of baking for her rapidly growing family, but changed her mind.

During a baking session with teenaged stepdaughter Ashley, Sara – who was seven months pregnant – began feeling that particular discomfort that should have still been a couple of months away.

“We were in the middle of baking cookies when I went into labor,” Sara said.

“It was a crazy experience, and I am going to try to stay away from baking for a while.”

The Brummetts spent most of last year’s Christmas holiday in the hospital with their twins’, whom they consider their Christmas miracle.

In the past Chris and Sara have spent Christmas with three of Chris’ grown children from a previous marriage.

This year, the couple has two bundles of joy with to celebrate with for the holiday, and they couldn’t be more excited.

“We get to start new traditions, like making our own ornaments,” Sara said. “I’ve always wanted to be a mom, so I can carry over traditions to my babies.

“Our family traditions are just starting.”

The food was hot and the competition hotter Saturday as more than 20 competitors put their pride and talents on the line to serve up the best tamale during a tamale cookoff at Amigos Supermarket. A panel of three judges – Deaf Smith County Sheriff J. Dale Butler, Eva Mendez and Hereford assistant football coach Bobby Nino – made their decision on the top tamale. Above, from left, cookoff winner Elijio Garcia is congratulated by Butler, third-place finisher Juana Mendoza, Mendez, Amigos store manager Jose Marquez, runner-up Norma Cervantez and Nino.

The Kiwanis Club of Hereford recently hosted Staff Sgt. Lawrence Trujillo as guest speaker at its weekly meeting. Trujillo, an instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps JROTC program at Hereford High School, informed club members about the Salvation Army and the Marine Corps Reserves annual Toys for Tots effort.

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN AIR QUALITY STANDARD PERMIT REGISTRATION PROPOSED AIR QUALITY REGISTRATION NO. 77585L016 APPLICATION Hereford Concrete, Inc., has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for an Air Quality Standard Permit, Registration No. 77585L016, which would authorize construction of a Concrete Batch Plant located at 3850 County Road 21, Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Texas 79045. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice.

For exact location, refer to application. http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/index.html?lat=35.055765&lng=-102.374558&zoom=13&type=r. The proposed facility will emit the following air contaminants: particulate matter including (but not limited to) aggregate, cement, road dust, and particulate matter with diameters of 10 microns or less and 2.5 microns or less.

This application was submitted to the TCEQ on December 9, 2016. The application will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, the TCEQ Amarillo regional office, and the Deaf Smith County Library, 211 East 4th Street, Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Texas, beginning the first day of publication of this notice. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review in the Amarillo regional office of the TCEQ. The executive director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application.

PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING You may submit public comments, a request for a public meeting, or request a contested case hearing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. The TCEQ will consider all public comments in developing a final decision on the application. The deadline to submit public comments is 15 days after newspaper notice is published. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the TCEQ’s jurisdiction to consider in the permit process.

The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or ask questions about the application. A public meeting about the application will be held if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

If only comments are received on the application, the response to comments, along with notice of the executive director’s action on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted comments or is on the mailing list for this application.

The executive director will complete the technical review, issue a preliminary decision on the application, and a Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the final deadline for submitting public comments. If a hearing request is timely filed in Response to this Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Air Permit, the time period for requesting a contested case hearing will be extended to thirty days after the mailing of the executive director’s response to comments.

After the final deadline for public comments following the Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. If any comments are received, the response to comments, along with the executive director’s decision on the application, will then be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who is on a mailing list for this application, unless the application is directly referred to a contested case hearing.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING You may request a contested case hearing. The applicant or the executive director may also request that the application be directly referred to a contested case hearing after technical review of the application. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. Unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed within 15 days from this notice, the executive director may approve the application. If no hearing request is received within this 15 day period, no further opportunity for hearing will be provided. A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on those issues submitted during the public comment period and not withdrawn.

A person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility is entitled to request a hearing. To request a hearing, a person must actually reside in a permanent residence within 440 yards of the proposed plant. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number; (2) applicant’s name and Registration Number; (3) the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing;” (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public; (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; (6) a description of how you use the property which may be impacted by the facility; and (7) a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period. If the request is made by a group or association, one or more members who have standing to request a hearing must be identified by name and physical address. The interests which the group or association seeks to protect must also be identified. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns. Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing within 15 days following this notice to the Office of the Chief Clerk, at the address below.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material air quality concerns submitted during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction to address in this proceeding.

MAILING LIST In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive future public notices for this specific application mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk by sending a written request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.

AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION Public comments and requests must be submitted either electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments. html, or in writing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, P.O.

Herd romps in tune-up

Lady Whitefaces butchered, 70-27 From Staff Reports

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The Hereford Whitefaces did what they needed to Tuesday in an 80-50 romp past visiting San Jacinto Christian Academy of Amarillo.

The second straight win and third in the last four games lifted the Herd back above the .500 mark at 6-5 in the last game before the start of the District 3-5A season.

“I thought we shot really well,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “It was not bad. We are going to have to do that with district coming up.”

Scoring the game’s first seven points, the Whitefaces never trailed, but did survive a bit of a scare early in the second quarter.

The Patriots used a 7-1 spurt to open the second frame and trim a 26-15 deficit to 27-22 with 6:09 left in the half.

That was as close as they would.

Closing the half on a 19-12 edge, the Whitefaces led 46-34 at the break before nailing the coffin shut in the third quarter.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Caleb Martinez and Kaleb Suarez opened the barn door, and the Herd stampeded out with a 22-5 period that stretched their lead to 68-39.

“We’re changing some things with defensive philosophy,” Villegas said. “We’re making some alterations that will give us a better chance to be successful.

“We want to be more aggressive on defense.

We’re still working on it and had the chance to do so in this game.”

Whiteface post star Parker Lowrey ruled the paint in taking game honors in scoring and rebounding with 19 and 17, respectively.

Frontcourt mate Sergio Cruz scored 8 of his 15 points in the first quarter, while Martinez netted 10 points in the first quarter, 13 in the first half and 15 for the game.

The Whitefaces connected on 31-of-59 shots (52.5 percent) for the night with Lowrey (7-for9, 77.8 percent), Martinez (6-of-9, 66.7) and Cruz (6-of-9, 66.7) leading the way.

Suarez, who finished with 6 points on a pair of treys, doled out 4 assists to share game assist honors with teammate Bo Baker.

“I was really proud of the way Martinez played,” Villegas said. “We moved him to point guard, and he did a good job. It wasn’t that our other point guards were doing anything wrong or badly.

“We just believe him at point gives us more versatility on offense.”

With realignment adding two schools to District 3-5A, a lengthened league season – moving from 10 district games to 14 – begins Tuesday.

If more league games was not enough, the Herd open the slate against the biggest school in the district and one of the largest 5A populations in the state – Amarillo High.

“We start with the favorite,” Villegas said.

“They are a good team.

They have good players, are well coached and make you work. We have

“We were able to do the things we needed to do in this game to get ready for the start of district. That is one of the reasons why I purposely left Friday (Dec. 16) open on our schedule.”

The Whitefaces hit the floor to take that first district test Tuesday when they host the Sandies.

CANYON – “They are a good team.”

That was about all there was for Hereford coach Christy Connally to say after the Lady Whitefaces were butchered for market Tuesday in a 70-27 loss to defending 5A state champion and No. 2 Canyon.

In the District 3-5A opener for both, the Lady Eagles remained unbeaten while the Lady Whitefaces dropped their fifth straight to fall to 5-8 and 0-1.

“We really didn’t play that badly of a game,” Connally said. “A lot of their points came from offensive rebounds and second chances.”

The Lady Herd had the sights honed in to open with a quartet of 3-pointers keeping them close as the Lady Eagles went up 16-12 after one.

From there, the Lady Whitefaces would score only 15 points for the remainder of the game – including only 4 in the second quarter to fall behind 39-16 and 0 in the third as the score went to 56-16.

“We are still struggling as a team to rebound,” Connally said. “Offensively, we need to value the ball more.

“We need to be more physical in the paint and fight harder once we have

possession of the ball.”

The scoreless third quarter was the first time the Lady Herd failed to score in a frame under Connally, and the 27 total points were the secondlowest during her tenure here.

Of the 27 Lady Herd points, 15 came via 3-pointers as Sam Lookingbill, Lindsey Carrillo and Liz Ramirez connected from behind the arc in the first quarter.

Carrillo, who scored a team-high 8 points – all in the first half, drained two treys in the first, while Lookingbill added one in the fourth to finish with 6 points.

The Lady Whitefaces continued their brutal stretch to open the District 3-5A season Friday with a visit to No. 17 Plainview after press time.

They return Tuesday to open the home league slate by welcoming in No. 3 Amarillo. Tip is set for 6 p.m.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Which of these questions is most interesting to you?

1. What is the gospel ?

2. How do I obey the gospel ?

3. How can I be forgiven of my sin ?

4. If I am once saved, am I always saved? Can I fall from grace?

In Revelation 20: 12, the bible says “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

In II Corinthians 5: 20, Paul said “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God”.

For mankind, the message of reconciliation is found in the books of the bible. Why not make 2017 the year you learn about this message and turn from the ways of the world. Call today for your free bible .... and ask about our study Search For Truth. Please .... don’t risk going before God unprepared.
