DeLaCerda finishes third, ousted as Deaf Smith County Clerk of Court

Holding off a dogged challenge, Deaf Smith County Precinct 4 Commissioner Dale Artho survived the March 6 Republican primary, but faces a May 22 runoff to retain his seat.

In the four-man race for Precinct 4 commissioner in the GOP primary, Artho was able to make his way into the runoff by garnering one more vote than Monty Smith.

Artho, who is seeking his ARTHO second term in office, col-

lected 91 of the 368 total ballots cast in Precinct 4, while Smith finished with 90.

Artho’s advantage came in a 55-51 edge in early voting. Smith took election day balloting, 39-36.

With just more than 18.5 percent of the precinct’s 1,988 registered voters

casting ballots, challenger John Nino, a former teacher and coach, was the race’s top vote-getter with 122 (33.15 percent).

To avoid a runoff in races with three-or-more candidates, one must garner at least 50 percent-plus one vote to win, which was what happened in the

other two contested county races that featured three candidates each.

In one, the incumbent easily outdistanced challengers. However, the county’s busiest office will see a new boss come January after Rachel Garman ousted incumbent county clerk of court Imelda DeLaCerda.

Garman, a trust officer at GoldStar Trust Company, carried a big lead from early voting through election day to run away with the seat. She finished with

Extreme dangers loom as fire season arrives

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Traditionally in the Panhandle and High Plains, the turning of the calendar to March means the impending arrival of spring and the immediate arrival of grassfire season.

Weather conditions are ripe throughout the region over the next several weeks for grassfires to ignite and spread like – well, what it is, wildfire.

While always a time of heightened awareness for local fire and other emergency personnel, that awareness has been ratcheted up several notches due to more dangerous fire conditions created by an ongoing dry spell.

There are those who can tell you exactly how many days, hours and minutes it has been since Deaf Smith County received any significant precipitation. Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner has made note of an approximate day total at each commissioners courts for the past two months.

An abundance of fuel – thanks to late-summer rains – no measurable precipitation since October and the onset of the traditional grassfire season in the High Plains has fire officials on heightened alert throughout the Panhandle.

A pair of Hereford teenagers are behind bars after they were taken into custody Wednesday evening in connection with a robbery earlier in the day.

According to reports from Hereford Police Department, officers were dispatched to Allsup’s Convenience Store at 515 S. 25 Mile Ave., shortly after 4 p.m., Wednesday, in reference to a robbery that had just taken place.

A HPD press release relayed that two suspects reportedly displayed a hand gun before exiting the store with an unknown amount of cash and merchandise.

There were two employees, as well as a customer, in the store at the time of the robbery, reports showed.

During investigation of the incident, it was developed that suspects were at a residence in Hereford.

Officers were dispatched to start surveillance of the 123 Kibbee Street residence while HPD officials assembled a team with plans “to move on the house,” according to HPD Chief Brent Harrison.

Before a team could arrive, the release stated the two suspects left the residence in a vehicle.

The vehicle was stopped on Fifth Street, at which time officers PLEASE SEE ROBBERY | 3

God knew that man would never be content to follow His one way. Solomon wrote in Proverbs 14:12; “There is a way which seems right to a man, but it’s end is the way of death.” Again in Jeremiah 10:23, Jeremiah wrote; “I know, 0 Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.” Solomon wrote again in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; ‘’The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.”

Just before Jesus went to the cross and died for our sins, He prayed to God for unity. In John 17:17 He prayed; “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.”

In vs. 20-23 Jesus continues; “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me, I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. As we have seen time and time again, God and Christ has always laid out one simple plan for salvation. This plan has never changed throughout time. Only man has tried to make changes for his own benefit. Heb. 13:8 says; “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

News FIRE: FROM PAGE 1

However, the exact number of days is a moot point.

“After 100 days, I give up counting,” said Hereford Fire Marshall Dean Turney, who is also emergency management coordinator for the city and county. “All I know is it has been a long time.”

The last measurable rainfall in the county came in October, when 2 inches fell.

Only 5/100ths of an inch fell during February, and it, according to Turney, provided no relief because it fell in 1/100th-inch increments on separate occasions.

The recent lack of precipitation has exacerbated a situation that was ironically created by just the opposite in late summer.

“Part of the problem is the rain we received in August and September,” Turney said. “It made the grass grow, and, with the dry conditions, the fuel load is extreme. “[The heightened danger] is a combination of really large fuel loads and no rain that has us in the early stages of drought.”

With pastures and road rights-of-way already teeming with dry fuel and just waiting for a spark to ignite, typical weather conditions for the next several weeks will only make the situation worse.

“At this time of year, humidity usually drops below 10 percent each afternoon,” Turney said. “Add

typical high winds to that, and we’re getting set up for something potentially bad.”

State and federal agencies are also keeping an eye on the situation, Turney added, with several new fire prevention, detection and fighting tools being incorporated.

He also stays in regular contact with the National Weather Service (NWS) about current and future forecasts, but has received little good news on that front.

The NWS, he said, is “not giving much hope” to mea-

sparks on pavement.

“We have had a lot of right-of-way fires,” Turney said. “Fortunately, we have been getting them under control. But you never know.

It only takes that one.”

anytime soon, and it “could be a while” before there was significant moisture in the area.

Turney reported that all emergency agencies in the Panhandle are “stepping up their game” on fire prevention and response during the growing crisis.

For local residents, Turney said there were several simple things that can be done to help ward off grassfires.

The first and foremost thing is to obey the county’s current ban on outdoor burning.

Often minute things predominantly not taken into consideration can prove to be the catalyst for disaster.

Turney said people should be aware of dragging chains on roadways when driving. The friction can cause sparks and ignite the rightof-way.

Local firefighters have also responded to an increasing numbers of roadside blazes being caused by a vehicle’s catalytic converter going bad and breaking up – leaving parts to create

away this season, Turney said there is something else that can be done – which might not ultimately prove effective, but it can’t hurt.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN AIR PERMIT RENEWAL PERMIT NUMBER 37806 APPLICATION Azteca Milling, L.P. has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for renewal of Air Quality Permit Number 37806, which would authorize continued operation of a corn milling plant located at 4819 Farm to Market Road 809, Dawn, Deaf Smith County, Texas 79025. 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=34.98833&lng=-102.2042&zoom=13&type=r. The existing facility and/or related facilities are authorized to emit the following air contaminants: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, organic compounds, particulate matter including particulate matter with diameters of 10 microns or less and 2.5 microns or less, and sulfur dioxide.

This application was submitted to the TCEQ on February 2, 2018. The application will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, 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. In addition to the renewal, this permitting action includes the incorporation of the following authorizations or changes to authorized facilities related to this permit: alterations and amendments. The reasons for any changes or incorporations, to the extent they are included in the renewed permit, may include the enhancement of operational control at the plant or enforceability of the permit. For more information about this permit application or the permitting process, please call the Public Education Program toll free at 1 800 687 4040. The TCEQ may act on this application without seeking further public comment or providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.

PUBLIC COMMENT You may submit public comments, or a request for 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 address in the permit process.

After the technical review is complete the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. If only 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 the 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 act on the application. If no hearing request is received within this 15 day period, no further opportunity for hearing will be provided. According to the Texas Clean Air Act § 382.056(o) a contested case hearing may only be granted if the applicant’s compliance history is in the lowest classification under applicable compliance history requirements and if the hearing request is based on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission may 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. 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 permit 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 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.

If any requests for a contested case hearing are timely filed, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for a contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. Unless the application is directly referred to a contested case hearing, the executive director will mail the response to comments along with notification of Commission meeting to everyone who submitted comments or is on the mailing list for this application. 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 for this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. Those on the mailing list will receive copies of future public notices (if any) mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk for this application.

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.

ELECTION: FROM PAGE 1

1,180 of the 2,006 ballots cast in the race (58.82 percent).

Challenger Laura Foster, a legal secretary, was second with 450 votes (22.43 percent), while DeLaCerda finished third (376 votes, 18.74 percent).

In the other threeway battle, incumbent 222nd Judicial District Clerk of Court Elaine Gerber had no trouble holding onto her post with 57.37 percent of the vote (1,164-of-2,029 balGARMAN lots cast).

Deputy county clerk of court Anita Nino was a distant second with 519 votes (25.58 percent), while DA office manager Mandy Perez rounded out the field (346 votes, 17.05 percent).

In the Republican primary race for Deaf Smith County Treasurer, incumbent Karen Smith doubled up challenger Stephanie Kiabeth Barrera with 66.7 percent of the vote (1,318-658).

Running unopposed in the primary to retain their seats were Precinct 2 Commissioner Jerry O’Connor and Deaf Smith County Justice of the Peace Karen Boren.

Also unchallenged was Assistant

District Attorney Chris Strowd, who is seeking the 222nd Judicial District District Attorney post upon the retirement of four-term DA Jim English at the end of this term in December.

The other two-person race on the GOP primary ballot had Deaf Smith County D.J. Wagner taking on challenger Murray WAGNER Hazlett, a long-time Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s deputy.

Wagner easily emerged on top with 67.75 percent of the vote (1,351). Hazlett finished with 643 votes (32.25 percent).

Of all the primary winners, Wagner is SMITH only one currently facing opposition in the November general election. The lone local candidate listed on the county’s Democratic primary ballot, Margarita Hernandez meets Wagner head to head on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

GERBER Despite the other races having no Democratic opposition, primary winners must go

through the November election for results to be official and could face opposition on that ballot.

Write-in candidates have until Friday, Aug. 24 to submit a declaration to the Deaf Smith County Clerk of Court’s office for inclusion on the November ballot.

Those candidates can be anyone, regardless of party afO'CONNOR filiation. The only exception is a primary loser cannot declare as a write-in for the same seat, election officials said, but can declare as a write-in for a different office.

DeLaCerda, who as county clerk of court oversees all STROWD county elections, said election day at the county’s four polling places was “busy” and “went well.”

She noted that numerous voters took advantage of the new county-wide polling program, however, actual numbers on how BOREN the program was utilized will not be known until more research is done.

1st Division warblers Half of the 20 Hereford High School students competing in the Feb. 24 UIL Choral Solo competition will be moving onto state after earning 1st Division ratings. In attaining the rating, Angel Aleman, Thalia Gutierrez, Nicole House, Shanah Provence, Natalie Sifuentes, Deja Goodman, Alex Valdez, Rachel Artho and Cami Kelso advance to the UIL 5A State Vocal Solo Contest in May. Also earning 1st Divisions honors for HHS were Ashley Cabrera, Grace Wade, Nayeli Barron, Nyah Marquez, Rachel Detten and Matlin Mimms. Other HHS competitors taking part included Amelia Guereca, Breci Medels, Jasmin Elias, Allison Tijerna and Preslee Johnson.

BOGO DAY

A trio of teams from First National Bank of Hereford will be taking part in the 19th annual Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hereford on March 23-24.

BFKS: FROM PAGE 1

Saturday with sessions from 9:1510:15 a.m., 10:15-11:15 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

The biggest fundraiser of the year for BBBS, the event brought in some $30,000 in 2017.

All the funding remained in Deaf Smith County, Pesina said, and was used to provide funding for school and community programs, background checks, supplies and training among other things.

“We’ve been very fortunate,” Pesina

added. “Community response to the event has always been good. We get teams from a lot of different places and often multiple teams from a single location.”

Among those annually taking part in the event are local businesses, civic clubs, the hospital, nursing homes, schools and law enforcement, as well as city and county offices.

A prime example of the event’s popularity is that among this year’s teams are three from First National Bank of Hereford and two each from Aikman and Tierra Blanca elementary schools.

Lady Herd muzzles Plainview From Staff Reports

Overcoming an early stumble, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces finally got the

wheels turning Tuesday on the way to an 8-1 win over host Plainview in District 3-5A softball action.

Evening their league mark

Senior Haylie Valdez went 3-for-3 with 3 RBI to lead a 13-hit Lady Whiteface attack in Tuesday’s, 8-1, win over Plainview.

BRAND/John Carson

at 1-1, the Lady Herd improved to 10-10-2 on the season. The two ties came in the recent Fox County Tournament.

After the Lady Whitefaces went down in order to start the game, the Lady Bulldogs opened their half of the first with a single before another base hit, two outs later, put runners at the corners.

A misplayed fly in right allowed a run to score, and put Plainview up 1-0.

The score remained that way until the Lady Herd took the lead for good in the top of the fourth.

Abrie Castillo singled to lead off and motored home to tie the game when Haleigh Barba followed up with a hit.

A fly to right center by Daz Rodriguez was misplayed, allowing Barba to come home and give the Lady Whitefaces the lead for good, 2-1.

They stretched the lead to 5-1 in the fifth after Bianca Olvera singled and Castillo walked to open the frame.

Barba struck out, but Haylie Valdez ripped a double to left that plated both Olvera and Castillo. Rodriguez followed with a two-bagger to bring in Valdez and make it 5-1.

The Lady Herd provided the final margin with a threespot in the top of the sixth.

Kaelynn Vallejo reached on a two-base error to lead off before scoring on a sin-

gle by Danielle Pena. Olvera singled. Castillo lined out, and Barba hit into a fielder’s choice to put two on with two outs.

Valdez followed with her second double of the game to score Olvera, and Rodriguez chased that with a hit to push Barba across and extend the lead to 8-1.

Valdez and Rodriguez each went 3-for-4 to pace the 13-hit Lady Herd attack.

Valdez had 2 doubles, a run scored and 3 RBI, while Rodriguez had a pair of doubles and drove in 2 runs.

Pena and Olvera finished with 2 hits each, and Castillo and Xandria Liscano had 1 each.

Barba and Pena also had an RBI each.

While the Lady Whiteface bats finally came to life, Castillo did not let first-inning troubles bother her.

After giving up an unearned run on 2 hits, the senior remained unfazed and mowed the Lady Dogs down the rest of the way.

For the game, Castillo scattered 6 hits and allowed a lone unearned run while striking out 12 and walking only 1.

Lady Herd senior Abrie Castillo allowed 1 unearned run, scattered 6 hits, walked 1 and struck out 12 to get the win Tuesday over Plainview.

Famous Quote

When did US receive Statue of Liberty?

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor on June 19, 1885, as a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States.

Sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi's Liberty Enlightening the World measures 151 feet high and has come to symbolize freedom and democracy nationwide.

What is the dangly thing in the back of your throat?

The uvula (more commonly known as "the little thing that hangs in the back of your throat") is made of muscle and connective tissue and is covered with the same mucous membrane that lines the inside of your cheeks and the roof of your mouth. Many things can cause a swollen uvula.

How many cells are there in an adult's body?

The mean volume of a mammal cell is estimated to be 4 billionths of a cubic centimeter.

(To get a sense of that size, check out The Scale of the Universe.) Based on an adult man's typical volume, you might conclude that the human body contains 15 trillion cells.

What country was the first to go to the moon?

The first human-made object to reach the surface of the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2 mission, on 13 September 1959. The United States' Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.
