Conviction lands Hereford man life sentence From Staff Reports
Cricket calls in chamber membership Page 4
A Hereford man will be spending the rest of his life behind bars after he was convicted and sentenced in Deaf Smith County State Court this week. Jereme Lee Escobedo, 38, was found guilty on two counts of sexual assault
of a child with a previous conviction for the same offense. According to reports from the 222nd Judicial District District Attorney’s Office, Escobedo was indicted following a July 27, 2016 incident involving a 14-year-old, female family member. Assistant District Attorney Chris
Strowd, who prosecuted the case, said the roughly 18-month time frame between the incident and final court disposition was about average despite some time-consuming elements of the case. “DNA was involved,” Strowd said. “It always takes time to get those done.”

The high cost of road repairs reached beyond Deaf Smith County Courthouse and prompted Hereford officials to seek an increase in the city’s paving budget for 2017-18. The request came in the form of a budget amendment and was the first order of regular business facing the Hereford City Commission during its regular meeting March 19. “We shouldn’t have budgeted it so tight,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna told commissioners during a work session immediately preceding the formal meeting. “We have the money on hand. We just need to move into that budget. “The bids are coming in good, so we’re wanting to add $50,000-$75,000.” Commissioners’ questions revealed the higher amount would provide funding for officials to accomplish what they would like in terms of repairing city streets this year. With the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court recently concluding two months of discussion on repairing paved roads, the city is confronted with a similar dilemma in available funding not up to meeting the need. Hereford Assistant City Manager Steve Bartels reported the original budgeted amount for paving repairs of $160,000 would only cover 3 miles of roads, whereas the city usually does 6 or 7 miles of paving repairs each year. Bartels was quick to add that of the city’s

75 miles of paved road, edge repairs done by city crews along several of those miles are proving to extend the overall life of the entire road. Although seal-coat bids are submitted in square yards, Bartels informed commissioners paving would roughly come out to $30,000 per mile. While several commissioners reported calls from constituents concerning the condition of roads, where the paving budget will be spent is based solely on need. “We will triage the roads and prioritize which ones need work the most and are in the most need,” Hanna said. Commissioners unanimously approved a $75,000 budget amendment that increased the paving budget from $160,000 to $235,000 in a 5-0 vote. Commissioners Joe Garza and Rocky Bhakta were absent.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS At the end of last week’s lesson, the question was asked whether or not we offer sacrifices to God today. The short answer is that we do not offer animal sacrifices as was done in the first covenant (Mosiac Law). As to why these sacrifices were made, we can understand better if we read Chapters 7-10 of Hebrews. I hope you will do that. In Leviticus 17:11, the bible says “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul”. Hebrews 9:22 reads “And according to the law, almost all things are purified (cleansed) with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission”. Under the First Covenant, once a year the High Priest would enter the Holiest of All (Holy Place) in the tabernacle. The High Priest was a man, guilty of sin just like any other man. The first thing he would do was to cleanse himself, and offer a ram as a sin offering, which was atonement for himself and his household. After he had sprinkled the blood of this bull on the mercy seat, he would offer one of two goats as a sin offering for the sins of the people. And some of this blood was also sprinkled on the mercy seat. With the second goat, he would lay both hands on its head, and confess all the sins of the people, putting them on the head of the goat. He would then send this goat into the wilderness by the hands of a suitable man. The goat shall bear on itself their iniquities to an uninhabited land, and was released into the wilderness. This temporarily cleansed the people of their sins. You can read more fully about this in Leviticus Chapter 16. Hebrews 10:3-4 “but in those sacrifices there is the reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.” Our covenant is better because of Jesus Christ, “who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin”. Heb 4:15. John called him “the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. John 1:29. In I Cor 5:7, Paul stated “Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us”. Christ was without spot, no blemishes, no defects, no sin -the perfect sacrifice -and his blood can cleanse us of our sins Matt 26:28. He became the propitiation (satisfaction) for our sins Heb 2:17. Unlike the sacrifice every year in the First Covenant,, Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. Heb 9:28 Next week, we will talk about our sacrifices today. JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

took place Thursday, Strowd said. “I felt the jury did a good job,” he added. “These type cases are often difficult for jury members to listen to. No one comes away from it feeling good. “It was good to get the case concluded for the victim and her family. There are really no winners in cases like this.” After the seven-man, five-
woman jury returned its guilty verdict, Escobedo was sentenced to life in prison. Strowd said Escobedo’s previous conviction for the same offense played a part in the severity of the sentence. For parole purposes, the state determined a life sentence to be 60 years. With state law requiring at least half a sentence be served before parole is available, Deaf Smith County DA Jim English said Escobedo would not be eligible for parole for at least 30 years.

Car Care & Repair Preventive Maintenance to Keep Your Car On the Road Many motorists bemoan the myriad costs associated with owning a vehicle. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price for a new car in the United States is
AIR FILTER When examining the vehicle’s air filter (check the vehicle manual for location), look for dirt or dust buildup. If the filter is filthy, simply replace it. Auto parts stores sell air filters, and most drivers shouldn’t have trouble replacing a filter by themselves. A dirty air filter can negatively effect fuel economy and make it seem as though a vehicle is constantly going uphill in a stiff wind. When a dirty air filter is replaced, drivers will notice an instant impact in how the car drives and are likely to save a few dollars at the filling station as well.
BELTS AND HOSES Issues with belts or hoses are often recognizable to the naked eye, regardless of a driver’s automotive skill. A hose in poor condition can appear bulging or brittle, and should not feel too soft or too hard. If a hose exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it. A belt that’s worn or frayed should also be replaced.
BRAKE FLUID One of the more expensive repair jobs on a vehicle is to replace the brakes. Brakes will need to be replaced over the course of a vehicle’s lifespan, but drivers should routinely check the vehicle’s brake fluid. Without sufficient brake fluid, the brakes’

slightly more than $28,000. But as any vehicle owner knows, that sticker price is only the beginning. The cost of maintaining a vehicle and keeping it on the road is not exactly insignificant.
lifespan decreases dramatically. Checking the brake fluid is easy; simply look in the owner’s manual to find brake fluid reservoir and remove the lid (some vehicles might require the lid be unscrewed). The reservoir will likely have instructions on the inside advising how much brake fluid should be added. If the fluid is below the line of demarcation, add fluid up to that line. But be careful not to overfill. Check the brake fluid levels on a monthly basis.
As the economy begins to rebound, a good percentage of motorists have resolved to keep their vehicles on the road longer in an effort to stretch their automobile dollars. That’s a sound resolu-
POWER STEERING Power steering fluid should also be inspected on a monthly basis. Checking power steering is the same as checking the oil, but it helps to also inspect the pump for any leaks.
TRANSMISSION FLUID When checking transmission fluid, do so while the car is running and af-
tion, and one that is not necessarily difficult to accomplish. Contrary to popular belief, cars are built to last, and it’s often a vehicle owner’s poor habits that reduce a car’s life expectancy as
ter the engine has warmed up. Always be certain to put the parking brake on when checking transmission fluid. If the vehicle needs transmission fluid, add the recommended fluid but be careful not to overfill. Prolonging a vehicle’s lifespan is not as difficult as it sounds. Oftentimes, all it takes is minor, yet routine, maintenance to keep a car on the road for

years and years.
TIRES Keeping tires properly inflated pays numerous dividends. Properly inflated tires make it easier for the engine to operate, lowering fuel costs while also decreasing wear and tear on
the engine. The owner’s manual should list a recommended tire pressure, and the local filling station likely has an air pump. Maintaining tires also involves checking for wear and tear. Uneven wear could indicate the tires are misaligned. Discuss this with your mechanic.
MOTOR OIL Oil change guidelines have changed dramatically thanks to better cars and more reliable motor oils. But it still helps to check motor oil levels after every fill up. If motor oil levels are low, add more oil. If oil is significantly low after each fill up, consult a mechanic just to be safe.
EXHAUST Once a year, be it at a routine tune up or should repair work be necessary, ask your mechanic to check the vehicle’s emissions. Failing an emissions test might be against the law, and a failed test could be indicative of a larger problem. In addition, inspect the muffler and exhaust pipe for holes, particularly after winter, when debris from snow trucks may do significant damage. Replace any damaged or rusted parts.

Lady Herd stampedes PD, 17-4 From Staff Reports
Despite taking the loss, Herd starter Jade Collier turned in four scoreless innings after allowing 4 runs in the first two frames BRAND/John Carson Tuesday.
Whitefaces run into real Bulldog
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
for the Whitefaces and after allowing 4 runs on 6 hits over the first 2 innings, scattered 4 hits, hit a batter, walked another, but did not give up another score before being relieved to start the seventh inning. “Jade elevated his game to a different level,” Moore said. “They got to him early, but he adjusted and really got on track. “I’m proud of the way he and everybody played and proud of their development.” After Herd reliever Jake Kelso gave up a run in the seventh, the Whitefaces tried to rally went Hauk plunked Carnahan and Kelso to start the Herd seventh. DeLozier and Escamilla had 2 hits each to lead the Whiteface offense. Ramirez, Altman, Collier and Carnahan also had hits, while Carnahan and DeLozier drove in 2 and 1 runs, respectively. Next week’s series with Amarillo opens Tuesday in Hereford. First pitch is 5 p.m.
Playing arguably one of their best games of the season, the Hereford Whitefaces saw it effectively go for naught as they ran into a dialed-in pitcher Tuesday in a 5-3 loss to visiting Plainview. The fifth straight loss for the Herd was also their seventh in the last eight games and ninth in the last 11 as they dropped to 7-12 on the season and 0-3 in District 3-5A play. “We had great effort and did a great job,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “This one hurts a little. We just couldn’t get it going in the middle innings. “You can’t let someone settle in. You have to get your timing down. We deserved to win. We let one guy beat us.” That one guy was Bulldog starter Carson Hauk, who allowed 3 runs on 7 hits with 9 strikeouts and no walks after overcoming a shaky start. Hauk retired 15-of-16 batters, including 12 straight, between the third and seventh innings, while striking out eight of the 15. Collier started on the hill
Surviving early troubles, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces righted the ship and stampeded past host Palo Duro, 17-4, in a five-inning, District 3-5A softball tilt Tuesday. Winning their fourth in a row, the Lady Herd have now won four of the last five, five of the last seven and lost only once in that span to improve to 13-102 and continue their hot league start at 4-1. “We had a rough start on defense against Palo Duro,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “Throwing errors on routine plays cost us four runs. “I would say we hit our reality check and finally got things going in the third with our sticks and defense.” The Lady Dons used a two-base error and double to take a 2-0 lead in the first, then a walk, single and hit batter loaded the bases to start the PD second before two more scored to put the Lady Dons back on top 4-3. From there it was lights out as the Lady Whitefaces flexed their offensive muscle. Danielle Pena opened the Lady Herd third inning with a single. Bianca Olvera was hit by a pitch, and Abrie Castillo singled to load the bases. Haleigh Barba singled in Pena and Olvera to put the Lady Herd up for good, 5-4. Haylie Valdez was plunked to reload the bases before Daz Rodriguez cleared them with a double to make it

the fourth, Rodriguez belted a two-out home run to center that scored Barba in front of her to push the advantage to 12-4. The Lady Whitefaces nailed the coffin shut in the fifth when two runs scored on an error, Barba drove in one with a hit and Rodriguez plated two more with her second double of the game. The Lady Dons could not hold off the mercy rule after failing to pull within 10 through five innings. “The first two in-
nings, we has some trouble letting the ball come to us to get solid hits,” Marquez said. “We were underneath it, which produced easy pop flys. “From the third inning on, we were more disciplined in letting the ball come to us.” Rodriguez led the 14-hit Lady Herd attack with a 3-for-4 game that featured 2 doubles, a home run, 3 runs scored and 7 RBI. Barba notched all singles in her 4-for-4 effort. She also scored 4 runs and drive in 2. Pena (2-for-4) was the only other Lady Whiteface with multiple hits, while Karisa Ramirez, Castillo, Valdez, Nahryah Hayes and Xandria Liscano also had base knocks. Olvera started in the circle for the Lady Herd. She allowed 4 runs – 2 earned – on 4 hits with a strikeout and a walk over the first two innings. Castillo relieved in the third and slammed the door on any Lady Don comeback hopes in giving up just 1 hit and fanning 6 over the final three frames. The Lady Whitefaces were back on the district diamond after press time Friday when they hosted Dumas. They hit the road Tuesday to take on Caprock before returning home Friday to entertain Canyon for the start of the second round of district play.
