Hereford & Vicinity YMCA and Hereford Sportsplex combine as Hereford Sports & Wellness

Grand Jury indictments

Area youth and the community as a whole will now benefit from the combined forces of two local sports and athletics facilities. In an effort to increase efficiency, two local organizations – Hereford & Vicinity YMCA and Hereford Sportsplex, Inc. (HSI) – have combined to serve Hereford and the surrounding area as one fluid unit. Effective March 1, the two will work together as one 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization – Hereford Sports & Wellness (HSW). In addition to combining their human and financial resources, the new team will operate out of both the former YMCA building and the Caviness Sportsplex. HSI began in November 2012 when several area leaders wanted to construct an indoor soccer arena. The group then partnered with Kids, Incorporated of Amarillo to manage the complex beginning in 2013. The new partnership organization HSW will continue to be operated by Kids, Incorporated. Former YMCA board president and Hereford resident Cindy Simons will serve as the chairperson of the board of directors of

HSW. Simons said she is “overwhelmed” by the response she has seen by area partners to see HSW become a reality. “We are excited at the prospect of offering more programs, to more people, with better facilities,” Simon added. She added that the merger of the two centers will allow for savings in direct service, payroll, and administrative costs – including the annual $7,500 membership fee previously paid to the national YMCA organization; an organization which imposed numerous costly regulations. Another primary incentive to the combination of the local YMCA and HSI is the potential to serve varying needs of individuals, and families in Hereford and surrounding communities by sharing the same mission to “make people better because they are part of our organization” by developing more partnerships in the future and bringing additional resources to the community. Appointed as the vice chairperson of HSW’s board is Terry Caviness who was a charter board member for each of the two original groups. Caviness said he sees PLEASE SEE BETTER | 3

Price of trash in Hereford going up By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The cost of throwing something away in Hereford has increased after the Hereford City Commission approved a new garbage collection contract at its Feb. 20 meeting. “The last rate hike was in 2015,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “We’ve been in negotiations for a while. We both did some saber rattling. We said we would go into the garbage business, and they said they would stop service. “We don’t want to get back into the solid waste business.” The contract was made with BFI

Waste Services of Texas and Republic Waste Services via its local collection provider, Allied Waste Services of Amarillo. The deal calls for a 4 percent rate increase taking effect March 1 with another 2 percent hike coming Oct. 1. The city and Republic will then examine data to determine rates for 2018, according to the contract amendment. The increase will be seen in bills to be received this month. For residents within city limits, garbage rates will go from $11.09 to $11.53 before adjusting to $11.76 in October. Those rates are based on collection twice per week.

Those outside city limits will see increases from $31.67 to $32.94, then to $33.60 for a weekly collection. Increases for commercial customers vary depending on the number of cans and collections per week. One-can rates will go from $24.69 to $25.68 and $26.19 in October for a weekly collection to increases from $148.11 to $154.03 this month and $157.12 on Oct. 1 for six collections per week. “They are big on penalizing businesses with their rates,” Hanna said. “We don’t want to do that. “I think the contract is fair to both sides. We will go back and look at again in 2018.”

Jimmy Lackey, Kids, Incorporated’s president and chief executive officer, will serve in those same capacities for HSW and brings over two decades of experience to the new organization. The partnership was the results of months of discussions and negotiations between the two organizations, Lackey said.

He went on to add the goal of the new organization is to provide a fun set of healthy activities that the entire family can enjoy together and create one single group that can do the most good for the community. HSW plans to be a center that offers activities to anyone of any age. Youth sports won’t the

only team sports offered by HSW. Adults can join in the fun through multiple team sports programs. In addition to sports and fitness activities, HSW will provide an option to those seeking wellness programs “We want everyone to enjoy it and be involved – young and old,” Lackey said.

Bushart led a litany of dedication before presenting a dedication plaque to Ward in honor and memory of his wife. “If I had known you would make this much fuss, I would have donated the building sooner. Janie would be proud,” Ward said. “Hereford Food Pantry is a very, very good cause. It helps the community and helps the people in it. Janie would like that.” Following the short dedication ceremony, the soiree moved outside as all joined with Food Pantry officials in cutting a ribbon to officially open the facility.

Team roster filling up for Bowl for Kids Sake From Contributed Sources

The 18th edition of Bowl for Kids’ Sake (BFKS) has been set for Friday and Saturday, March 24-25 at Sugarland Mall Bowling Lanes in Hereford. The annual event is a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Hereford and features bowling sessions Friday evening March 24 with separate sessions slated for morning and early afternoon on Saturday, March 25. “Bowl for Kids’ Sake (BFKS) is a fun and easy way to help Big Brothers Big Sisters,” BBBS of Hereford executive director Sara Pesina said. “Whether you bowl or make a donation, you will make a positive, long-lasting impact on children in our community. Friends, co-workers, businesses, churches, and civic clubs come together in support of our agency’s work. BFKS is a widely anticipated annual event because everyone has such a great time. “We have set our goal at 75 teams, 20 T-shirt logo sponsors and 10 lane sponsors. Furthermore, we hope to have three major sponsors whose

contributions will boost BFKS revenue. Our board and staff diligently work to deliver a fun-filled experience for all of our teams.” The Bowl for Kids’ Sake theme this year is ”Fiesta Bowl for Kids’ Sake” with coordinating T-shirts, decorations and party favors. Each BFKS team is comprised of five or six bowlers for an entry fee of $50 per bowler. Included in the fee is bowling, shoe rental, T-shirts, snacks, beverages, party favors and chances to win door prizes. Teams are encouraged to raise additional money to increase the success of BFKS. Teams registered prior to Feb. 24 will be able to order specific T-shirt sizes. Teams signing up after that date will automatically receive extralarge T-shirts. “Area businesses can also contribute to our event with their logo placement on the back of the T-shirts,” Pesina said. “This is a highly visible and reasonably priced promotional venue for companies, clubs and organizations. “Another type of sponsorship is for a bowling lane,

Weekly Bonus Borscht with Crème Fraîche

A soup suitable for springtime Spring might not be a season many people associate with soup, but the following recipe for “Borscht with Crème Fraîche” from Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey) makes an ideal spring appetizer, even for those people who are not big on beets. Borscht with Crème Fraîche, Serves 4 For the crème fraîche 2 cups heavy cream 2 cups sour cream For the borscht 1 bunch (1 pound) baby beets, with tops 1 pound new potatoes 1/2 cup honey, preferably avocado honey Sea salt Fresh dill for garnish (optional) 1. To make the crème fraîche, combine the heavy cream and sour cream in a jar. Shake thoroughly to mix and place in a warm pot overnight. Once the cream has thickened, refrigerate until ready to use. Crème fraîche will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week. 2. Cut off the beet tops and chop them. Combine the beets, the chopped tops and the potatoes in a 6-quart soup pot and cover with about 2 quarts of cold water. (Don’t completely fill the pot; put in just enough water to cover the vegetables.) Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the beets can be pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables. 3. Prepare an ice-water bath by filling a large bowl with ice water. Remove the beets and the potatoes from the cooking liquid using a slotted spoon. Plunge the cooked beets into the ice-water bath and slip the skins off. Strain the cooking liquid through a sieve or colander and into a bowl. Compost the beet skins and the cooked beet greens. 4. Grate or chop the beets and potatoes and return to the broth. Add the honey and season with salt to taste. 5. Serve hot with 1 tablespoon crème fraîche per serving. Add a sprinkle of fresh dill on top, if you like.

Canyon bombs Lady Herd From Staff Reports

CANYON – As the winds calmed Tuesday at sundown, the Canyon Lady Eagles took advantage to rally for an 8-2 win over the Hereford Lady Whitefaces in the District 3-5A opener for both. The Lady Herd, who had won four of their last five games and six of the previous eight, dropped to 7-6 overall and 0-1 in league play. “Overall, the team played well,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “They continued to fight through the entire seven innings. They never lost the heart to work through the big hits Canyon had. “We missed some opportunities to score runs by leaving people on base, but they played as a team and fought as a team.” The Lady Whitefaces snapped a scoreless tie with two runs in the fourth and still led 2-0 heading into the home half of the fifth. From there, the Canyon bats woke up as the Lady Eagles belted three home runs in a four-run fifth and added two more in a fourrun sixth. The top five Lady Whiteface batters – Mickey Enriquez, Alexus Carbajal, Erica Ramirez, Abrie Castillo and Haylie Valdez – accounted for the entire offense as each produced a hit. Castillo and Valdez drove in the two Lady Herd runs with a double and single, respectively, in the fourth. Castillo struck out 9 and walked 1 in taking the loss in the circle.

Herd splits to open tourney From Staff Reports

Excitement renewed on diamond for Whitefaces

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Old faces, new faces and a new coach have rekindled the fire on the diamond for the Hereford Whitefaces. After opening the season with a 3-2 finish in a Feb. 2325 tournament at Shallowater, the Herd was back on the tourney trail this weekend at Levelland. “Coaches and players know we have a long way to go, but we are beginning to establish an identity,” first-year Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “We are trying to make discipline, speed and small ball contagious throughout the entire program. “The kids have loved it so far.” Coming off a disappointing 2016 campaign that saw the Whitefaces finish 7-22-1 and in the cellar of District 3-5A, hope springs eternal as Moore, who has spent the past seven years as an assistant at 4A powerhouse Huffman High, and his charges have made a concerted effort to alter the mindset on the diamond. Those changes are evident when it comes to the team’s strengths as the Herd starts down the 2017 trail. “Speed and hunger are our biggest strengths,” Moore said. “We have no prima donnas when it comes to baseball. At other programs – really the more successful programs – you sometimes get a lot of kids who have their own ideas of how to play and how they should be used. They are worried more about their stats and college potential than the team they are on at that moment. “We don’t have that problem. We have a group of guys who want to learn every day. From our best players on varsity all the way down to our freshman team, we are all looking for ways to get better, which a coach’s dream.” While somewhat of an intangible, Moore was quick to add the 2017 Whitefaces possess speed throughout the roster that must be efficiently used to produce success. When it comes to the team’s biggest weakness, Moore does not look at his players’ experience No. or returning starters or 1 roster depth. 2 The biggest weakness 3 in his mind, he sees ev4 ery morning in the mir7 ror. 8 “The only weakness we 9 have is a first-year coach 10 implementing new drills 11 and practices,” Moore 12 said. “We are going very 14 slow in practice to make 15 sure we are getting the 21 very basics down. 24 “However, we have a

A renewed spirit has hit the Hereford High diamond as Bryan Moore has taken the reins as head coach. lot of smart young men who are incredibly eager to learn. They have turned what could have been a huge weakness into a very small one.” Although the 2016 season was less than memorable, the cupboard was not bare when Moore took the reins. There is talent returning – led by Wayland Baptist-signee Zack Martin, Marty Carnahan, Luke Nino, Dylan McGinty and Jake Kelso, who quickly found his way into the starting lineup last year as a freshman. The only true hole left by graduation was behind the plate. “We needed for find a catcher,” Moore said. “Instead of finding one catcher, we found about eight in the program and four on varsity. “They are athletic players who can play all over the

field, but in our system, the catcher is right up there with the pitcher in order of importance, so we are extremely happy with how that hole has been filled.” In terms of new players to watch this season, Moore said there were 30 he could list with a number of juniors on the JV squad who could up end on varsity by the end of the season. Newcomers already making a varsity impact are lead-off man Sean Escamilla, Carson Altman, Andrew Lopez, Ray Ramirez, Noah Nikkel, Noah Mungia, Jaden Hix, Noa Leal and Mitchell Carnahan. With the District 3-5A slate set to begin March 17 at Canyon, success for the Whitefaces this season can only come without putting the cart before the horse. “The first way for us to be successful is to not think a day ahead of ourHereford Whitefaces selves,” Moore said. “I’m 2017 Baseball roster the world’s worst at it. I have already played out a player yr million scenarios in which Luke Nino Sr we could compete and Zack Martin Sr make the playoffs in what Dylan McGinty Sr I feel is a very competitive Noa Mungia Sr district.

However, Jaden Hix Sr any coach will tell you, Noah Leal Sr you have to win each and Ray Ramirez Jr every day in practice beNoah Nikkel Sr fore playoffs can become Jake Kelso So a reality. That is espeMarty Carnahan Sr cially true for us and our Carson Altman So circumstances.”

SNYDER – The Hereford Whitefaces continued their start to the 2017 baseball season Thursday with a win and loss to start play in the weekend Levelland tournament. The Herd extended their winning streak to four games with a 13-0 romp past Idalou in the tourney opener after jumping out to big, early lead. Pushing six runs across in the second, the Whitefaces added a single run in the third, then three each in the fourth and fifth before the game was called due to the mercy rule. Luke Nino, Mitchell Carnahan and Ray Ramirez each went 2-for-3 to lead the Herd’s 10-hit attack. Zack Martin, Jake Kelso, Carson Altman and Jade Collier added a hit apiece. Kelso, Martin and Carnahan all drove in 2 runs each, while Altman, Collier and Andrew Lopez plated runs. “Our hitters were patient, drew walks, bunted the ball very well and then advanced on the bases,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “We scored all our runs on singles, walks, bunts and hit batters. “We have worked real hard on our small-ball game, and it paid off.” Much of the offensive outburst was overkill as Ramirez and Noa Mungia combined to throw a 4-hit shutout. Ramirez started and picked up the win in allowing 2 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 2 in 3 innings. Mungia gave up 2 hits over a pair of scoreless frames. He fanned 5 and walked 1. In the afternoon game, the Whitefaces could not make a 3-0 first-inning lead stand in a 5-4 loss to Shallowater.

BRAND/John Carson

Luke Nino was one of three batters to go 2-for-3 in a 13-0 Thursday win over Idalou to open the weekend Levelland tournament. After Shallowater scored single runs in the first, second and third to tie it, the Herd went up 4-3 in the top of the fourth before a tworun rally in the home half of the frame proved the eventual game-winners for Shallowater. Martin drove in 2 runs with a double as Kelso and Dylan McGinty also had an RBI each. Kelso, Altman, Martin, McGinty and Carnahan accounted for the five Whiteface hits. Jaden Hix started on the hill and allowed 2 runs and 2 hits over 1 2/3 innings. He also struck out 2 and walked 2. Altman gave up 2 runs on

3 hits over the final two innings with a strikeout, while Collier surrendered an unearned run on 2 strikeouts and a walk over 1 1/3 innings. “We made a couple of errors late that cost us the game against a really good team,” Moore said. “I am very proud of how hard and loose we played against a team that went deep into the playoffs last year.” HHS IHS
