Stanton axed from bond, need remains

WHAT'S INSIDE

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of a four-part series looking at the individual segments – safety and security, multi-purpose activity centers, early childhood education center, and dressing and trainers learning facility – of a $45 million bond issue called by Hereford Independent School District. The bond goes before voters on May 6.)

Hereford Independent School District (HISD) officials readily admit they “learned a lot” from a $42.6 million bond issue that failed in 2015. Subsequent fact-finding after the measure was overwhelmingly defeated pointed to several items that voters did not like. The biggest sticking

The major sticking point in a 2015 failed HISD bond issue was work at Stanton Learning Center. While Stanton has been removed from the current called bond, the needs the work addressed still exist and amount to 38.9 percent of the bond’s $45 million. point were plans for renovations and additions at the aging Stanton Learning Center. “Voters wanted Stanton

larger storage capacity. Thus, the need to upgrade DSCSO video servers to a hoped-for 12 terabytes. In presenting the original grant request to the commissioners court last month, Butler at that time – as well as now – reiterated the value bodycams have as deputies perform their duties. “We have to have video,” he said. “The higher quality, the better.

As Deaf Smith and most other counties in Texas cope with an ever-increasing amount of unfunded and underfunded state mandates, there are few better illustrations of that than indigent criminal defense. Everyone has heard the portion of the Miranda rights which guarantees someone legal counsel if an attorney cannot be afforded. That is indigent criminal defense. The Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court confronted the ongoing problem during its Monday regular meeting by approving a resolution that the Texas State Legislature provide adequate funding for the program. The problem, according to county officials, is that funding for this mandate from the state has been sorely lacking. “We’ve been down this road before,” Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner said, “and this won’t be the last time to see [this issue]. “This is the main culprit of underfunded [state] mandates.” The resolution states the legislature “has failed” to provide adequate funding for the program, which has subsequently shifted that burden onto individual county taxpayers. That statement is supported by research revealed in a report from the Texas Association of Counties (TAC) on the cost of county government. Between 2001-16, the statewide overall

DSCSO bodycam upgrade in the works By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

With funding already approved, the Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office (DSCSO) is getting its paper ducks in a row to upgrade its body-camera system for deputies. Deaf Smith County Sheriff J. Dale Butler applied for and recently received confirmation of a grant request with the Office of the Governor that will provide $33,000 for technology improvements.

The grant came with an amenable 2 percent match from the county. “We are going to use it to upgrade our current bodycams and server,” Butler said. “We already have good bodycams, but [the new ones] will be more rugged and durable, as well as providing better video quality.” The hand-in-hand with improved video quality, he explained, is the larger files subsequently require

costs of indigent criminal defense has risen 171 percent from $91.4 million per year to $247.7 million annually, according to the report. Over that span, counties have seen their defense expenditures rise by 136 percent. The report also showed numbers to back that up. In fiscal year 2015-16, a total of $247.7 million was spent in the state for indigent criminal defense – of which only $31.6 million (14 percent) came from the state.

In short, state funding for a program required by the state amounted to just 12 percent of the total costs. “Indigent criminal defense is a state responsibility that should be adequately funded on a statewide basis, not a burden overwhelmingly borne by local property taxpayers,” the commissioners’ resolution read before requesting the legislature fully fund the program. The resolution, which met with unanimous approval, will now be forwarded to the currently sitting state legislature in Austin.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week you may feel as if your energy doesn’t go as far as it once did. Speak up if you find yourself battling exhaustion. Others can help. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others see you as witty and a good storyteller, so you might be called on to make a speech or emcee an important event. Make it your own. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have to play the role of peacekeeper this week when bickering between others gets out of hand. Step in and negotiate a truce. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, be your own person, even when someone else tries to guide you into his or her line of thinking. Don’t fall for any subterfuge or get carried away.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, meeting new people is often exciting and you could have the opportunity for new introductions this week. Just remember that first impressions last. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Simple pleasures will offer you the greatest rewards over the next few days, Capricorn. You don’t require a lot of fanfare or extravagance. Relish in creature comforts. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you are becoming more attuned with how others may be able to help you advance your career. Don’t hesitate to seek advice. The time for change could be upon you. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, make an effort to communicate more with those around you. Life can feel isolated without a good foundation of friends.

Average retail gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 2.0 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.08 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 13,114 gas outlets in Texas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.29 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. While prices in Hereford continue to run below both averages – averaging $2 per gallon as of early Monday – that average comes from a disparity of 11 cents throughout town. The lowest local price Monday stood at $1.94 per gallon in several locations and as much as $2.05 per gallon at others. By Friday, Hereford gas prices had dropped as low as $1.92 per gallon. Including the change in gas prices in Texas during the past week, prices were 34.0 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are unchanged versus a month ago. The national average has increased 1.5 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 36.1 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago. According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on March 13 in Texas have ranged widely over the last five years – $1.74 per gallon in 2016, $2.24 in 2015,

Gas prices widely vary in Hereford From Staff Reports

$3.25 in 2014, $3.54 in 2013 and $3.67 in 2012. The average price in Hereford also continued to run lower than those of metro areas in San Antonio (down 0.5 cents to $2.03), Austin (down 0.9 cents to $2.07) and Midland-Odessa (down 2.3 cents to $2.13) “A sudden plunge in the price of oil is likely to weigh on gas prices, at least temporarily,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. “With little warning or expectation, crude oil last week broke out of the rut it had well established, with crude prices falling out of a 3-month range of $51$54 per barrel to $49. Fundamentals of oil have weakened, and with last week’s large 8.2 million barrel rise in crude oil inventories, the market has turned decidedly bearish for now. “Naturally, when oil prices take a beating such as they did last week, one might expect gasoline prices to move in lockstep, but due to the complex relationship of oil and gasoline prices and the middleman – U.S. refineries – motorists may not see as large a decline at the pump as they may hope for. I remain optimistic that the annual spring rally at the pump could be less severe than expected, but remain cautious as it remains difficult to know where the new path will lead oil prices in the week ahead.”

Spice up your spinach Many people love to add a little kick to their meals. Various spices can add flavor, but Indian spices tend to pack a more powerful punch than ingredients that are not quite as bold. Indian dishes vary with regard to how much kick they deliver, and many people find dishes like the following recipe for “Saag Paneer” from Jill Lightner’s “Edible Seattle: The Cookbook” (Sterling Epicure) is spicy but not overly so. Those who want a little more kick than this recipe provides can substitute mustard greens for a portion of the spinach. Saag Paneer, Serves 4 1 1/2 3/4 1/2 1/4 1/4 1/4 1 2 1/4 3/4

pound fresh spinach teaspoon salt teaspoon garam masala teaspoon ground coriander teaspoon turmeric teaspoon ground cumin cup ghee medium onion, minced tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger cup heavy cream or evaporated milk pound paneer, cut into 2-inch cubes

1. In a food processor, alternate adding handfuls of spinach and tablespoons of water, up to 3/4 cup water, blending between additions. When you have a wet, smooth puree, whirl in the salt. 2. In a small dish, combine the garam masala, coriander, turmeric, and cumin. 3. Set a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the ghee. Once it is thoroughly hot, add the onion and ginger. Stir constantly, frying until the onion is soft and medium brown. Pour in the spice mixture all at once and stir until the spices are slightly fried and completely coating the onion. Slowly pour in the spinach puree, stirring to blend with the spiced onion. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until most of the water has evaporated, about 15 minutes. 4. Stir in the cream, add the paneer and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the paneer is warmed through. Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve hot. Serve the dish with basmati rice and grilled naan or pita. Edible tip: The best spices are recently purchased and freshly ground; the older your spices, the more likely the final dish will taste muddy.

Students ‘get physical’ for March meeting of Delta Xi From Contributed Sources

Delta Xi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International, a society of key women educators met March 6 at Hereford Community Center. Refreshments were provided by hostesses Jessica Bell, Cynthia Marquez, Sharon Hodges, Maureen Self and Shari Lake. Tables were decorated in a spring and St. Patrick’s Day Theme. The March program – “Let’s Get Physical” – was presented by Jill Harrison and students from Hereford Independent School District (HISD). The students performed several physical education requirements for the state-required physical fitness test for students in grade three or higher. The students went through the activities with enthusiasm and skill to the delight of the Delta Xi membership. Physical education class-

es in HISD are held for 30 minutes daily or 135 minutes weekly and follow a set of TEKS as in any of the academic classes. Chapter president Kathie Kerr conducted the business meeting. The Chapter Collect was led and a “Golden Moment” was shared by Courtney O’Neal. It was discussed and approved that new members would be invited to the October meeting and would then be initiated in November. DeeAnn Matthews is taking nominations for new membership. Scholarship chair Dana Friel reported that nominations will be taken for a scholarship to a deserving junior or senior education major. Members are asked to contact her by email to receive an application. Comments were made about the article written by Shelly Moss for the Kings Manor newsletter on Delta Xi member Marie Stringer.

The article was a wonderful tribute to Marie and was included in this month’s Delta Xi Newsletter. Members were reminded about the upcoming Big Brothers Big Sisters Fiesta Bowl for Kids’ Sake event coming March 24-25. Delta Xi will have a bowling team entered in the event that includes members Tessa Stow, Shari Lake, Stacy Andrews, Annette Villarreal, Cynthia Marquez, Rachel Rieves and O’Neal. Members were also reminded that the 50th anniversary of Deaf Smith County Museum is being celebrated. Members shared “brags,” and Carolyn Waters won the prize for wearing the key pin. The next meeting will be held April 3 and will be the birthday celebration for Delta Xi beginning with a salad supper at 5:30 p.m. at Hereford Community Center.

Taylor keeps shining on track

Friday, March 10

A week after taking it to the competition on hand, a lack of finals qualifiers in a number of events bit the Hereford Lady Whiteface track team at the March 10 Bulldog Relays in Plainview. With 17 meet events scored, the Lady Herd could only place participants in eight finals to finish sixth with 60 points. Monterey outdueled Coronado, 181-141, to win the six-team meet with Plainview (96), Clovis (87) and Lubbock (78) rounding out the field. However, among the eight finals that sported Lady Whitefaces, the team came away with wins in three of them. Super soph Sabbatha Taylor continued her spring resurgence to lead the Lady Herd. After sweeping the 800, 1600 and 3200 meter titles last week in Wichita Falls, Taylor did virtually the same in Plainview. She won the 800 meters in 2:33.57 – almost a full second ahead of the nearest competition – before breaking the tape for the 1600 in 5:32.85 – 3.27 faster than second. Taylor had no chance to repeat her Wichita Falls performance when meet organizers opted to replace a 3200 meter run with a distance medley relay – where one member of each four-person team runs 1200 meters, another 400 meters and another 800 meters with a 1600-meter anchor leg. Katelin McCathern opened with the 1200-meter leg before Alyssa Vallejo went the 400, Anahi Duran did the 800 and Taylor the 1600 as the Lady Whitefaces crossed the finish line in 13:37.60

– 17.6 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Plainview. The only other top-three Lady Herd finish came from senior Kiki Alonzo, who cleared 8-6 to finish second in pole vault. Jasiriana Gonzales captured fourth in two events with a 14.13 in the 100 meters and 28.89 in the 200. McCathern finished fifth in the 1600 in 5:56.42, while fellow Lady Whiteface Melanie Jacquez was 10th in 6:16.11. Jacquez came in ninth in the 800 meters (2:52.33) ahead of teammate Keihlen Rodriguez, who was 10th in 2:54.77. The only relay team to qualify for finals was the 4x400 unit, which finished sixth in 4:39.36. With just one other Lady Whiteface besides Alonzo making it to a field final, Andrea Valenzuela was eighth in shot put with a toss of 29-9. After taking this week off for spring break, the Lady Whitefaces get back on the track March 24-25 at the Amarillo Relays.

It may be nearing spring, but the Hereford Lady Whitefaces left too many ducks on the pond Thursday in a 4-0, District 3-5A loss to visiting Amarillo. The loss was just the second in the last eight games for the Lady Herd, who dropped to 12-81 overall and saw their league mark even at 2-2. “We stranded nine runners,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “We can’t do that. We were the better team today, but you can’t leave nine on base and expect to win. “We’d get the first two on, then the next three would go down. We had people on, but we left nine runs on base.” The Lady Whitefaces stranded two runners in each of the first three innings, but could not push across a run in getting BRAND/John Carson shutout for the first time Hereford’s Abrie Castillo and Amarillo’s Sydney Greeson look for the call after Greeson scored in district play and sec- on a passed ball during a 3-run fourth inning in the Lady Herd’s 4-0 loss Thursday. ond time this season.

Herd embarks on District 3-5A trail By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A season goal for most high school baseball teams is earning a berth in their respective postseason to have a shot at a state championship. While that is true for the 2017 edition of the Hereford Whitefaces, the playoffs will not have to wait for the end of the regular season. “It should be fun,” first-year Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “You can look at positively or negatively. I’m choosing to look at it positively. “As I told the guys, for us, it is going to be a playoff game each time out.” After finishing at the bottom of

There is so much that can happen over the next few weeks. Win, lose or draw, it is going to be a great seven weeks. I’m glad to be a part of it.

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 an-

ticipated 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 Tshirt 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, where a business or organization gets special signage on a lane for the entire event. These sponsorships are perfect opportunities for entities that may not have enough people for a team but still want to contribute to BFKS.” Big Brothers Big Sisters has been a part of the Hereford community since

Duro, Dumas and Caprock. “There is so much that can happen over the next few weeks,” Moore said. “Win, lose or draw, it is going to be a great seven weeks. I’m glad to be a part of it.

“We still implementing some things, and I am impressed with the way they have picked things up and put them into practice. Baseball-wise, we still have a long way to go. Attitude and enjoyment-wise, they are knocking on the door.” While the district season is still a complete un-

known, the Herd did go into it riding a four-game winning streak and having already eclipsed their win total from last season. In fact, the eight wins already under their belts is one better than 2016 – where that season’s seventh victory came in the final game.

1974. The agency provides unduplicated service through quality positive youth development and one-to-one mentoring programs. “Participation in BFKS is a worthwhile investment in our children who are the future of this community,” Pesina said. “Children enrolled in Big Brothers Big Sisters’ programs gain a wealth of benefits including higher grades and self-confidence, a better sense of the future and stronger interpersonal relationships.” She was quick to add that all funds raised by the event will remain in house to help serve youngsters in Hereford. For details or to register a team, call Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hereford at 364-6171 or visit bbbshereford.org/events for BFKS information and registration forms.

He is the author of numerous articles, as well as a book titled “Sax on the Streets: Confessions of an American Street Musician in Europe.” Chancler, who grew up in Amarillo, frequently performs and records as a soloist and collaborative artist in venues around the world. She is a member of Ricochet Duo with marimba virtuoso Jane Boxall, and they have performed a variety of programs across the United States.
