Paving talks ‘fun kick-the-can episode’ By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

After several months of research and more than two months of formal discussions, the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court effectively ran into the proverbial dead end when it came to improving repairs on paved county roads.

In fact, talks, additional facts and increased knowledge have commissioners now leaning toward possibly reducing the amount of paved road in the county. Paving discussions began at the start of the new year at the request of Precinct 4 Commissioner Dale Artho

ARTHO

and County Judge D.J. Wagner. At the center of the request was determining how best to spend the county’s limited $130,000 2017-18 budget for paving, which – based on an accepted bid for seal coating – would allow less than 10 miles of

road to be repaired. While only roughly 70 miles of Deaf Smith’s more than 1,000 miles of county roads are paved, all those paved miles are in need of repairs. With 21 miles of paved roads – the second most in the county – in PLEASE SEE PAVING | 3

This week's spring break meant time to get outside, which is exactly what Alejandro Martinez did when he took the offsprings, including 4-year-old daughter Pilott, to Hereford's Central Park for some fun in the sun. BRAND/John Carson

An individual disciplinary issue and a veritable indictment of a Hereford High School (HHS) athletic program were the focus of public comment during the Feb. 26 meeting of the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees. Often a passed-over item on the board’s monthly agenda, the item has seen several parents and staff members use the forum to express concerns and opinions since October. The second of the speakers, Michelle Lookingbill, assailed the HHS girls basketball program while posing several rhetorical questions to trustees. “One question I have for the board – and HISD, as a whole – is when do the girls have a chance to win a varMCNEELY sity game?” she said. “When do our girls get that chance. “The current program is in need of improvements.” The Lady Whitefaces are coming off a second straight losing season that saw them win fewer than 10 games for a second consecutive year (9-21) and out of the district race at 3-10. This after a four-year run of success that saw the Lady Herd battling state-power Canyon for the district title and become a fixture in the postseason. Lookingbill, whose daughter is Lady Whiteface guard Samantha Lookingbill, told trustees she had talked the situation over with HHS girls athletic director Brenda Kitten, Lady Herd coach Christy Connally and HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship. While expressing thanks and gratitude to Kitten for her efforts as AD, Lookingbill said nothing specific about Connally or her coaching style or abilities. In fact, her comments – which were PLEASE SEE PARENTS | 4

William Glen "Bill" West, former resident of Hereford, passed away on March 12, 2018. A memorial service was held Friday, March 16 at Avenue Baptist Church of Hereford with Pastor Billy Joe Wall officiating.

Services were under direction of Hereford Heritage Funeral Home. Bill was born on April 20, 1930 to Lewis Edward and Eunie Verna Lesly West in Post. The family moved to Deaf Smith County in 1949 to farm its half-section of land northwest of Hereford. Bill married Dixie Rae Neal in Hereford on June 6, 1954, and Bill drove a Mayflower truck for a few years early in their marriage. The couple then settled into farm grain crops and cattle, as well as, a custom hay baler for many years. Bill was a Mason, active member of Avenue Baptist Church in Hereford and a dedicated family man to his wife and three daughters. He always wanted his daughters to be happy, go to college and be selfsufficient. Each one went on to receive their college degrees. Later in life, he

enjoyed attending dances and playing bridge and dominoes. Mr. West was preceded in death by his parents; beloved wife Dixie Rae; daughter Glena Sue Reel; sisters Odie Lee Clayborn and Peggy Jo West; and brother Samie West. He is survived by daughters Polly Bryant and husband Darrell of Henrietta, and Carla Finnigan and husband Jimmy of Monterey, Va.; sister Elsie Verna Lloyd of Hereford; son-in-law John Reel of Marion; grandchildren Jacklyn Bryant of El Paso, Matthew Bryant of Henrietta, and Dixie and Sammy Reel of Marion; and several nieces and nephews. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Cancer Society, Alzheimer Association, or a charity of your choice.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Most people are aware that in the Old Testament, we can read of times when people offered sacrifices to God. You can read about Cain and Abel’s sacrifices in Genesis 4: 1-7. Noah made sacrifice to God after the flood, Genesis 8:20-21. And in Genesis 22:1-18, you can read the account of when God instructed Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. And, most people may know that God instituted various types of sacrifices for his people, after Moses had brought them out of Egypt. These sacrifices were part of the law that God delivered to his people, and they were specific.

Just how specific can be seen in chapters 1-3 of Leviticus, where we see males from the herd or flock, without blemish. In Chapter 2, a grain offering shall be of fine flour, with more specifics regarding the grain offering throughout that chapter. If you will take the time to read in your bible, Leviticus 22: 17-24, you will see even more specific terms .... such as without blemish, must be perfect to be accepted, no defects, do not offer the broken, blind, maimed or those with ulcer, scab or eczema. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD EXPECTED THE BEST ....... NOT THE CULLS. The question is, did God’s people always follow his commands? Of course, the answer is no. We can see this in Malachi 1: 6-8 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is My honor? And If I am a Master, where is My reverence?, says the Lord of hosts. To you priests who despise My name, Yet you say ‘in what way have we despised your name’? You offer defiled food on My altar, But say ‘In what way have we defiled you?’ By saying, ‘the table of the lord is contemptible’. And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, Is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Offer It then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably”, says the Lord of hosts. Next week, more will be said regarding sacrifices. But why bother with this topic? We are not required to offer sacrifices today ......... are we? This is an important question to learn about, and you may have other questions that you would like to know more about. That is why we offer a free bible study for individuals or small groups. If you would like to learn more about this study, CALL OR TEXT one of the numbers below. If you don’t have a bible, we will give you one. JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

mostly rhetorical questions – appeared to be an indictment of Connally’s coaching ability and the current state of the program. “We expect a lot from these girls,” Lookingbill said. “What do we give them? Do we give them a winning program? “These girls deserve a winning program. We need a program to help them be the best they can be. I just need you to talk about it.” Lookingbill was preceded Rick Salas, who questioned disciplinary action taken against his son. Salas said his son “had action taken against him” for possession of marijuana after being part of reported chain of students involved in passing an envelope, allegedly containing marijuana, to another student. While he admitted all students involved were punished, he questioned “proof of intent” over his son’s 25 days of punishment. “How can he get in trouble when he did not know what was in it?” Salas said. “All he did was just pass it along. He didn’t look or ask what was inside it. He did the same thing all of us would have done and did in the same situation in school.” Salas is awaiting the outcome of an appeal hearing

La Madre Mia Study Club held its regular meeting Feb. 22 in the community room of First Financial Bank. Randy Friemel, a local artist, presented a program about his artwork and also his testimony how God has had his hand in the plans of his life bringing him to this point in his life. He also displayed several pieces of his art allowing club members time to shop and make purchases, which several did. Most of his work is Christian themed although he does have some western.

A short business meeting followed with committee reports given. Members voted to sponsor a team for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hereford Bowl for Kids’ Sake fundraiser, and a thank -you note from Kay Hall was read. Gladys Merritt reported that her granddaughter, Sarah Baulch, who is sports trainer for Hereford High School, was named Region 1 Trainer of the Year. She will take part in the state competition on Aug. 8. Refreshments were

served by hostesses Mary Herring and Georgia Sparks.

The sting of a disappointing season was soothed just a bit for the Hereford Whiteface basketball team when five members of the squad were among those recognized for postseason honors. Two Whitefaces were named to the All-District 3-5A second team, while three others received honorable mention recognition. “We were glad these young men were selected to an all-district team,” Hereford coach C.J.

Putting the brakes on a seventh-inning rally, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces sank Randall comeback hopes Tuesday and held on for a 3-1 victory on the District 3-5A softball diamond. The win was the third in a row for the Lady Herd, who improved to 12-10-2 overall and 3-1 in league play. “We can’t get satisfied, and I think we felt a little satisfied some in this game,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “We have to stay aggressive. “Overall, we played better than against Amarillo. We got started early with our sticks, and our defense was sound until the seventh. We did what we needed to get out of that inning.” The Lady Raiders made their only real threat in their final at-bat while staring up from a 3-0 deficit. Kylie Hurd led off with a double, the first Lady Raider hit of the game, and Kamry Perez followed with a single and went to second on a throw to third. In arguably the biggest play of the game, Lady Whiteface catcher Haylie Valdez and third baseman Daz Rodriguez caught Hurd in a rundown for the first out. Caya Lucero followed with a single to score Perez, and Alyssah Pantoja chased that with a base hit. A wild pitch moved them to third and second, re-

Calling time, she gathered her infielders and battery in the circle. “I just told them to settle down,” Marquez said. “They were starting to get antsy, and I wanted to calm them down.” Whether whatever she said worked with the defense will never be known because her visit did the trick for pitcher Abrie Cas-

tillo. Following the meeting, and after giving up four consecutive hits, the senior struck out the next batters to put out the fire and end the game. Until the seventh, Castillo and the Lady Whitefaces were cruising. Haleigh Barba singled in Bianca Olvera to give the Lady Herd a 1-0 lead in the first before Danielle Pena made it 2-0 when she de-

posited a pitch over the left-field fence to open the home half of the third.

A pair of big innings were enough to turn a tight game into a laugher Thursday as the Hereford Whitefaces fell to visiting Canyon, 20-4, in the District 3-5A opener for both. The loss was the third straight and fifth in the last six games for the Herd, who fell to 7-10 overall and 0-1 in league play. “We didn’t give up and kept coming,” second-year Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “The score was not indicative of how well we played against a good team. “I felt we were in it the whole way. I never felt like we were out of it. It was just two bad innings.” Those two innings were more than enough for the Eagles to fly away.

of them and what they accomplished this season.” Two of the three Whitefaces to earn honorablemention recognition also added a second all-district accolade to ones received on the gridiron. Leading that list is junior forward Dodge DeLozier. A second-team, all-district quarterback, DeLozier hit 62.3 percent of his field goals attempts while averaging 7.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game this season. Adding a hardwood honorable mention tag to one from football was senior guard Matthew Herrera. An honorable mention defensive back, Herrera was part of a starting rotation that included as many as eight players and saw considerable additional playing time off the bench. For the season, Herrera scored 3.7 points and hauled in 2.0 rebounds per game. He also averaged 2.8 assists per game, while coming up with a steal each outing. Rounding out the Whiteface contingent is senior swingman Josh Martinez. Part of that group in the starting rotation and to see plenty of action, Martinez played both guard and small forward, while also helping out on weak side defense and rebounding.

tillo, who set down the first 11 batters she face and allowed only two to reach base and no hits in the first six frames. The first Lady Raider baserunner came via walk in the fourth and was immediately cut down attempting to steal second. The other reached on a two-base error in the fifth, but was stranded at second. “She was hitting her spots when needed,” Marquez said of Castillo’s effort in the circle. “They just finally got her measured in the seventh. That is going to happen with any pitcher the third or fourth time through a lineup.” Castillo allowed the lone run on 4 hits – all in the seventh – while striking out 10 and walking 1 to get the win. Rodriguez went 2-for-2 and was hit by a pitch in three trips to the plate to pace the 10-hit Lady Herd attack. Pena, Olvera, Castillo, Barba, Valdez, Nahryah Hayes, Xandria Liscano and Vallejo each had a hit, while Pena, Olvera and Barba also drove in runs.

Senior guard Isiah Escobal (3) is one of two Whitefaces to be named to the All-District 3-5A second team for 2017-18. BRAND/John Carson Martinez averaged 3.0 points per game this season. He also pulled down

and they are staying together. If it stays that way, this will be a fun season.” Looking up from the short end of an 11-1 score as they moved to the bottom of the fifth, the Whitefaces showed some of their resilience by staving off a mercy-shortened contest.

Ramirez doubled down the rightfield line to plate Ellis. Ramirez would scamper home on a Carson Altman groundout to trim the deficit to 11-4. Escamilla, Ramirez, Altman, Mendez and Ellis accounted for the 5 Whiteface hits in the game. Altman’s hit was a first-inning, single that scored Escamilla and gave him 2 RBI on the day. Escamilla and Ramirez drove in the other Herd runs. Whiteface starter Gunner Head only faced five batters – walking 3

and hitting one – and was responsible for the first two Canyon runs in working just 2/3 of an inning to take the loss.
