Already fueled by the region’s high winds, wildfires also create their own winds, which can exacerbate the situation by increasing wind speeds and creating whirlwinds of flame.

Official bond call puts parameters on super’s pitch By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Richard A. Koenig 1948-2017

Richard Alan Koenig, 68, passed away on Wednesday, March 8, 2017, at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. A rosary is scheduled for 6 p.m., Sunday, March 12 in Hereford Heritage Funeral Home Chapel of Memories. A mass of Christian burial service is scheduled for 2 p.m., Monday, March 13 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church with the Rev. Christopher Schwind officiating as celebrant. Burial will follow in St. Anthony’s Catholic Cemetery. Services are under direction of Hereford Heritage Funeral Home. Born Nov. 7, 1948 Richard grew up on a farm outside of Hereford and was the oldest of nine boys of Mark and Alice Koenig. He attended St Anthony’s School and then attended St John’s Atonement Seminary in Montour Falls, N.Y., graduating as valedictorian in 1967. He greatly valued his education and the friendships he made, calling his classmates at St. John’s his “band of brothers.” After seminary, he attended Siena College in Rennslauer, N.Y., for a year-and-a-half before transferring to the University of Texas in Austin. There

he met his wife, Nancy (McClellan) Koenig, and graduated with a degree in political science in 1972. Richard and Nancy were married in San Antonio in 1974. Richard worked for the Internal Revenue Service in Austin for a number of years. In 1979, he and his wife moved to Lubbock and raised their children, Lora, Becky and Jack. In 1989, he attended Texas Tech University School of Law and graduated in 1992 in the top 10 percent of his class. While there, he was selected for membership in the Order of the Coif. He served 10 years as an assistant district attorney for Lubbock County and then as a staff attorney with Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, where he remained until his retirement in July 2016. Richard was happiest when he was with his family. He enjoyed working in the yard, walking his dog and having a cold beer. He loved science and regularly read the magazine “Natural History” from cover to cover. He read all the books by Stephen Jay Gould and the writings of Neil deGrasse Tyson. He believed in social justice and civil rights and dedicated his working life to public service. He was a kind man, good neighbor and wonderful husband and father. All who knew him are grateful for the time they had with him. Richard was preceded in death by his father, Mark Koenig, of Hereford. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Nancy, of Lubbock; children Lora and husband Ryan King of Washington, D.C., Rebecca Koenig of Berkeley, Calif., and John (Jack) Koenig of Berkeley, Calif.; mother Alice Koenig of Hereford; brothers Dan Koenig and wife Julie of Las Cruces, N.M., Philip Koenig and wife Nora of Hereford, Wayne Koenig and wife Donna of Williamsburg, Va., Greg Koenig and wife Bonnie

the state and region for eighth grade. Writing results – only measured in fourth and seventh grades – saw HISD equal to the state, but slightly below the region in fourth and higher than the two in seventh. With testing in only fifth and eighth grades, science results showed local fifth-graders slightly below the state and region and eighth-graders markedly down. For eighth-grade social studies results, HISD was again significantly lower in comparisons.

“We knew we would be good through the fifth grade,” Stokes said. “Students overall tend to struggle in sixth-eighth grades.” The overlying positive is regardless of the comparison all HISD percentages – with the exception of social studies – are on the upper side of 50 percent of students performing at or above satisfactory STAAR standards. Having already seen the district and all its campuses meet STAAR standards for 2015-16 – the first time HISD has accomplished that in 10 years – Stokes said the district has trimmed the

comparison gaps since last year. “We are seeing our percentages go up every year,” he said. “That shows we’re making progress and succeeding. It shows our students are growing and having success, and you want to see your students making academic progress and growth. “TAPR may show we’re more successful than last year, but we still need to improve our foundations so we – and our students – can succeed even more.” The full TAPR is available for public perusal on the Texas Education Agency website.

FIRE: Graders play important role FROM PAGE 1

ham County burned more than 7,000 acres between Vega and Boy’s Ranch before being contained. So far this season, Turney said only one wildfire has been battled in the county after high winds snapped power poles near Dawn and live wires sparked the blaze. “We were fortunate that it ran into a green wheat field that served as a firebreak,” he added. As arguably the best way to combat a wildfire, firebreaks were the subject of a meeting Turney conducted Thursday with county grader operators and officials at Hereford Fire Department. Turney opened his presentation with video of a Panhandle operator barely escaping his grader before it was engulfed by a fast-moving fire. “We don’t want to be put in those situations,” he said. “Because of the moisture received in the past two years, things have grown bigger. Now, they are dead and ready to go [up in flames]. “The potential for a wildfire is there for us. We want to be ready.” With current fire dangers “high” and expected to remain that way for

the unforeseen future, Turney’s presentation was geared toward providing safety instruction and reminders to the admittedly most important line of defense. “You guys are a lifeline for [firefighters],” he said. “In a grassfire, a grader is better than a firetruck. “A grader does more good than a firetruck. A fire can re-ignite behind a truck after it’s been put out, but a windrow creates a break that can stop it.” The meeting included details on how and where operators should look to cut windrows – from a safety aspect, as well as in providing the most good to stop a fire. In warning operators to stay away and well ahead of fires to cut breaks, Turney added that fire officials are instructed to have firetrucks accompany graders in the field. “We tell our firefighters to protect graders,” he said. “Still, have an BRAND/John Carson escape route, but leave The safest and best strategies and locations for county grader operators to cut windrows if your grader as a last re- needed to battle a wildfire was at the heart of Thursday’s meeting conducted by Hereford Fire sort.

Give boring lunches a big boost Lunch might not be the most exciting meal of the day, and conventional wisdom might not suggest it’s the most important meal. But that does not mean lunch has to be boring. For those who tend to lean on sandwiches for their midday meals, straying from the sandwich norm can provide some variety and flavor. The following recipe for “Warm Tandoori Chicken Wraps” from Vicki Liley’s “Asian Wraps & Rolls” (Periplus) can make for a unique lunch for the whole family or even serve as an easily prepared dinner. Warm Tandoori Chicken Wraps, Makes 6 wraps 1/3 cup plain tandoori paste 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup plain yogurt Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon 12 chicken tenderloin fillets or 3 skinless, boneless chick en breast fillets 2 carrots, peeled 1 English (hothouse) cucumber, halved and seeded 6 pieces naan 1 clove garlic, finely chopped Leaves from 6 fresh mint sprigs, plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint In a small bowl, combine tandoori paste, 2 tablespoons yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Put chicken in a baking dish. Pour tandoori mixture over and stir until chicken is coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Light a fire in a charcoal grill or heat a grill pan. Brush grill or pan lightly with oil. Cook chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut each tenderloin into 2 long strips (if using chicken breast fillets, slice each fillet into 4 long strips). Using a vegetable peeler, cut carrot and cucumber into thin ribbons. To heat naan, follow instructions on packet. In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup yogurt, garlic and chopped mint together.

Herd tramples Golden Wolves By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

BRAND/John Carson

Mickey Enriquez had a 4-for-5 game with 2 RBI to lead the Lady Herd to an 8-3 district win Tuesday over Plainview.

Lady Whitefaces use O for big W

From Staff Reports

PLAINVIEW – A strong day at the plate and “short memory” Tuesday allowed the Hereford Lady Whitefaces to ease past Plainview, 8-3, in District 3-5A softball action. Notching their second win in the past three games, the Lady Herd improved to 8-6 overall. The first district victory of the season evened their league mark at 1-1. “The girls played well,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “They started off strong with their bats. Our defense was rocky at times, but the team did not let errors affect them, which is one things we have been working on – have a short memory on the field. “All around, the girls did their part and got the job done as a team.” The Lady Whitefaces jumped on top early with two in the top of the first and another run in the second before scoring all they would need in a four-run third. Setting the table to virtual perfection, lead-off hitter

The Hereford Whitefaces played polite hosts Tuesday before getting down to business in a 142, five-inning win over Dalhart in their 2017 home opener. Winning their fourth in a row and eighth in the last nine games, the Herd exceeded the 2016 win total in improving to 8-3. “They played really well,” first-year Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “We came out with intensity and were ready to get after it. “They are doing all we’re asking of them. We still have a long way to go, but they are working their tails off and becoming a family. They have really bought into what we’re trying to do.” After staking the Wolves to a 1-0, the Whitefaces grabbed the game by the throat and did not let go. Sean Escamilla singled BRAND/John Carson

Marty Carnahan (21) slides into second after a bases-loaded single that tied Tuesday’s game before popping up and coming home to clear the bases following a subsequent throwing error that gave the Herd the lead for good.

Mickey Enriquez led the 14-hit Lady Herd attack with a 4-for5 game that included 2 RBI. Erica Ramirez, Abrie Castillo and Bianca Olvera all went 2-for-4 from the plate, while Castillo drove in a run and scored 2. Dazzarae Rodriguez plated a pair of runs in a 1-for-4 effort, and Danielle Pena scored twice. Castillo gave up 9 hits and stranded 7 runners in going the distance in the circle for the win. She allowed 3 unearned runs, walked 3 and struck out a season-high 14 batters. The Lady Whitefaces jumped back into tournament action when they took part in a Thursday-Saturday event in Snyder. They return to district play Monday with a visit to Randall before hosting Amarillo on Thursday at 2 p.m., for the 2017 home opener.

to open the HHS first before Jake Kelso doubled and Luke Nino drew a two-out walk to load the bases. Marty Carnahan blooped a single just past first base to plate Escamilla and tie the game. A subsequent throwing error on the play allowed Kelso, Nino and Carnahan to come home as the Herd took the lead for good, 4-1. Escamilla doubled in a run and Nino plated another pair with a twobagger in a four-run Herd second to make it 8-2. The Whitefaces added five more in the third on a 2-run inside-the-park home run by Andrew Lopez and Nino single that drove in two before closing the scoring with a run in the fourth. Escamilla led the 14hit Whiteface surge with a 3-for-3 game that featured a RBI and 2 runs

scored. Nino and Kelso both went 2-for-2 with Nino driving in 4 runs as Kelso plated one and scored 3. Dylan McGinty had a RBI and scored 2 runs in a 2-for-3 effort. Jaden Hix allowed 2 unearned on 4 hits in working the first 3 innings to notch the win on the mound. He struck out 5 and walked 2. Noa Mungia fanned 3 in working 2 innings of scoreless, 1-hit relief to close it out. The win ended the opening part of the schedule for the Herd, who have 10 days off before starting District 3-5A play Friday, March 17 at Canyon.
