Despite celebrating 50 years in its formal facility in the former St. Anthony’s Catholic School building on Stanton Street in downtown Hereford, the beginnings of Deaf Smith County Museum were within the walls of this barn on Turrentine property west of Hereford.

HEREFORD HISTORY 17 years ago • March 25, 2000

Most county historical museums come about through dogged efforts of nameless volunteers giving of their time, talents and resources. Traditionally, there is a focal point embodied by an individual or committee which kept the wheels turning toward fruition with almost religious fervor. Along the way, there are usually several years’ worth of meetings, planning, more meetings, public hearings, fundraisers and assorted plethora of related efforts to make a county’s historical museum a physical reality. Much of that holds true for Deaf Smith County Museum as it celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2017. However, this silver anniversary comes with an asterisk – a notable one. Yes, the museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary, but that celebration is actually for the official museum in its current location on Stanton Street. The true beginnings of a historical museum in Deaf Smith County are much-less formal and make a much better story than the traditional path taken by other county historical museums. To find the true origin of the museum, one must go farther back than 50 years and look

not at historical artifacts and displays, but at children in search of ways to get some pocket money. You also have to venture roughly 5 miles west of Hereford to land where George and Johnnie Turrentine were raising their three daughters. Now 87, Johnnie Turrentine is the lone living survivor of the committee that made the current museum possible, but gets a special sparkle in her eye when recalling how the museum actually came to be. “The girls had a Shetland pony and wanted to make some money,” she said. “So they decided to start giving pony rides for a nickel.” As the pony-ride business began to flourish, the girls also needed to come up with a 4-H project. That’s where grandmother Bess Werner, who had been married to the county’s first dentist, stepped in. With a barn on the land literally full of historic antiques from Deaf Smith County’s early days, Werner suggested the girls provide tours of the collection to visitors – who initially came for the pony rides – for their 4-H project. In short, Deaf Smith County Museum was born. “The girls would give pony rides, while Bess

showed the items in the barn,” Turrentine said. “We eventually had some many people who came to see the things in the barn, we wanted to centralize it and make it more presentational to tell the story of Deaf Smith County. “There were just so many people from all over the area who came to see the items. Plus, we were amazed by the number of people who had specifically come here from out of state.” That’s when the traditional wheels began to turn. In 1966, the fledgling Deaf Smith County Historical Society was searching for a way to create and locate a museum when it

received an offer from the county government to use the recently purchased and vacant former St. Anthony’s Catholic School as that space. With an agreement reached, efforts went into high gear. Turrentine, Ruby Sears and Ruth McBride spearheaded the design and displays in the facility with McBride, who had a touch with interior design, serving as a de-facto artistic director. Based on much of the collection at hand, a design for the museum’s displays was determined that centers on how daily life was lived and remains in effect to this day. Less than a year after those efforts began, Deaf Smith County Museum officially opened its doors on

I just want it to continue to keep the history of Deaf Smith County alive. Understandably proud of the accomplishment as she looks back over the years, Turrentine is also acutely aware of what the museum ultimately meant for Werner.
March 12, 1967. “I was thrilled to death when the museum opened,” Turrentine said. “I was so excited. I really liked everything we had done. Then I felt we could keep it that way if we gave everything to the county. “What had originally started in a barn as something for the kids to do as a 4-H had become a permanent facility.” Half-a-century later, that facility is celebrating its silver anniversary. Interestingly, the 50th anniversary is a milestone that Turrentine was not

With caregiver Janie Cadena by her side, Johnnie Turrentine, one of the founders of Deaf Smith County Museum, takes a nostalgic look inside the barn where the museum began as a 4-H project for her daughters, who were drawing crowds to their home for the nickel rides on their Shetland pony.
The family of Edna Jimerson and Lonidene Foster would like to thank everyone for your thoughtfulness during the loss of our Mothers. Your expression of love through prayers, food, cards and visits is greatly appreciated.

the alleged health hazards of city water. “That alarmed so many people needlessly,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “I understand the state’s role, but they need to use some common sense.” Despite newspaper stories announcing the notification – including TCEQ’s ready admission “this is not an emergency” and that residents did not need to seek an alternate water supply – Hanna added they did little good in heading off the fear officials knew would come. He was quick to point out that had a genuine emergency existed, residents would have been fully aware. “If there truly was or ever is a problem, it would be attended to immediately,” Hanna said. “It would not be in just written form on the next billing cycle. Hopefully, that will never happen. “It there is a real problem, residents would be notified door-to-door, on TV, radio

and social media. This just caused needless fright and concern.” According to Hereford Assistant City Manager Steve Bartels, TCEQ averages results from four quarters of test results to determine contaminations. A local spike in one quarter is what resulted in the TCEQ notification, he added, and with that quarter dropped from consideration, city results were again under limits. “Our own test of the reported contamination were inconclusive due to the margin of error in the testing process,” Bartels said. “We’re still unsure of whether there was a problem or not. We
will probably never know if it was the water or a testing error. “The state does not designate a margin of error [in testing] and doesn’t even acknowledge if there is one.” Using minute measures known as piquoliters – a trillionth of a liter – TCEQ’s reported that Hereford’s water showed 16 for radioactive contamination – specifically radon and uranium. The state allowed maximum is 15 piquoliters of such contaminates. “It is assured now that no problems exist,” Bartels said. “There is still a degree of uncertainty whether a problem ever existed.”

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN WATER QUALITY PERMIT PROPOSED PERMIT NO. WQ0005223000 APPLICATION. WE Hereford, LLC, 3748 South Progressive Road, Hereford, Texas 79045, which owns a fuel grade ethanol manufacturing facility, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for proposed Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0005223000 (EPA I.D. No. TX0137626) to authorize the discharge of treated wastewater at a volume not to exceed a daily average flow of 303,840 gallons per day. The facility is located at 3748 South Progressive Road, Hereford, in Deaf Smith County, Texas 79045. The discharge route is from the plant site via pipe to Tierra Blanca Creek. TCEQ received this application on February 28, 2017. The permit application is available for viewing and copying at Deaf Smith County Library, 211 East 4th Street, Hereford, Texas. 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=34.827332&lng=-102.3703&zoom=13&type=r ADDITIONAL NOTICE. TCEQ’s Executive Director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting public comments. PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments, and the Executive Director’s decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period and, the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. 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.

Hereford gas prices span 14 cents per gallon From Staff Reports
Average retail gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 1.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.07 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 0.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.29 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. In Hereford, gas prices ticked down at some locations throughout last week, dropping from $1.95 to as low as $1.91 on Monday. At that same time, some locations saw prices remain unchanged. There continued to be a disparity in gas prices throughout Hereford, however, even the highest price is slightly lower than the state average and markedly lower than the national average. As of Monday, gas prices in Hereford ranged between $1.91$2.05 per gallon. Including the change in gas prices in Texas during the past week, prices were 25.1
cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and unchanged versus a month ago. The national average has increased 1.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 30.3 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago. According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on March 20 in Tex-
as have ranged widely over the last five years – $1.82 per gallon in 2016, $2.22 in 2015, $3.34 in 2014, $3.56 in 2013 and $3.73 in 2012. Hereford’s lowest prices continued to run below those of noted metro areas, but prices in San Antonio – which dropped 1.6 cents to $2.01 per gallon – did remain below the local highest price.
Although averages were also down in the two remaining reported metro areas, those prices ranged from $2.06 in Austin to $2.12 in Midland-Odessa.

Scones a great coffee complement Scones make an ideal companion to a morning cup of coffee or tea. Simple and delicious, this recipe for “Maple Pecan Scones” from Linda Collister’s “Quick Breads” (Ryland, Peters & Small) is ideal for scone lovers who want something quick to make in the morning. Maple Pecan Scones, Serves 6 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking powder A good pinch of salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes 1 cup pecan pieces 1 extra-large egg 1/4 cup pure maple syrup About 3 tablespoons milk 1 greased baking sheet Preheat the oven to 425 F. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it in with the tips of your fingers until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Mix in the pecans. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of the milk. Stir into the flour mixture with a roundbladed knife to make a soft, coarse-looking dough. If the dough is dry and crumbly and won’t stick together, stir in more milk 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is very wet and sticky, work in another tablespoon of flour. Tip out the dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour and gently work it with your hands for a few seconds so it looks smoother. Put the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Dip your fingers in flour and pat out the dough to a round about 11/4 inches thick and 7 inches across. Using a knife, cut the round into 6 wedges, but do not separate the dough before baking. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until light golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until the wedges are cool enough to separate. Serve warm the same day. The cooled scones can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 month. PC174947

multi-purpose facilities. In each case, the “cafetorianasium” – as HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship has dubbed them – create dilemmas. “When students are eating lunch, we do not have the use of the gymnasium as it is a cafeteria,” Blankenship said. “When the gymnasium is being used for physical education, we do not have the use of the cafeteria to serve meals. “When the facility is being used as the auditorium for choir programs, awards assemblies and such, it is not able to be used as a cafeteria or for physical education.” Addressing the situation

Blankenship’s comments
on it were restricted by state mandates – she specifically noted the educational advantages of adding multi-purpose facilities in terms of how proper time for physical education enhanced student attention and achievement in the classroom, while noticeably reducing behavior disruptions and problems. The multi-purpose facility portion of the $45 million bond is budgeted at $12.7 million, and would result in the construction of a free-standing facility at each elementary that would be connected to the main buildings. For HISD, being able to deal with the multi-pur-
pose facility situation is wholly dependent upon the bond passing. “If the bond fails, we will continue to use our current facilities and will have the same limitations we currently have,” Blankenship said. “This is something that cannot be legitimately and effectively addressed without the bond.” Plans for the new multipurpose facilities – which will only be placed on elementary campuses – will only be drawn up and finalized if the bond passes. HISD will host the first of three public meetings on the $45 million bond at 6 p.m., Thursday, March 30 at Amarillo College.

Herd’s Zack Martin ripped a 2-run triple to highlight a 3-run fifth inning during Tuesday’s eight-inning, 8-7, district loss at Plainview.
Bulldog comeback edges Whitefaces From Staff Reports
A seventh-inning rally forced extra frames Tuesday as the Plainview Bulldogs came back to knock off Hereford, 8-7, in an eight-inning, District 3-5A tilt. The loss was the third straight for the Herd, who fell to 8-6 overall and 0-3 in league play. “Plainview just outcoached us in the end and beat us by a run,” first-year Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “I was really proud of our effort and the way we handled ourselves during and after the game. “We were loose throughout and played hard. At the end of the game, the guys were hurt by losing, but also excited by the progress they see.” The inability to hold a lead bit the Whitefaces as they would take a lead, lose it and rally to regain it before succumbing in the end. After Marty Carnahan doubled with two outs in the first, Carson Altman drove him in with a double before scoring on a Luke Nino single to put the Herd up 2-0.
Trailing 5-4, the Whitefaces rallied in the fifth behind a 2-run triple by Zack Martin and RBI-single from Jade Collier to go up 7-5. Plainview scratched across a pair of runs off Altman, who relieved Nino in the sixth, to tie the game in the seventh before Jake Kelso came on to douse the fire. Gabriel Chavez ripped a walk-off double in the eighth to secure the Bulldog win. The Whitefaces pounded out 14 hits with Nino, Martin and Collier all going 2-for-4 and Shawn Escamilla, Kelso and Carnahan finishing 2-for-5. Martin drove in 2 runs, while Kelso, Altman, Nino and Collier also plated runs. The Whitefaces hosted Plainview after press time Friday. They open a home-andhome with Amarillo on Tuesday when they welcome in the Sandies for a 5 p.m., game.

The Hereford Lady Whitefaces did not get much offense, but then again, not much was needed in Tuesday’s, 6-0, District 3-5A win over Palo Duro. Abrie Castillo threw her first no-hitter of the season as the Lady Herd won for the second time in the last three games to go to 13-7-1 overall and 3-2 in league play. “She was humming it,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “Now that the tournament season is over, she’s gotten some rest, and you could see it. “She’d definitely getting her confidence back.” The Lady Dons never came close to threatening as Castillo faced just one over the minimum while striking out a season-high 18 and not walking a batter. The lone stranded runner for PD came in the first when a passed ball on a strikeout allowed Jamilex Gomex to reach first. Fanning four batters in the first, Castillo struck out the first 10 she faced before the Lady Dons finally put a ball in play with a fly-out to center that opened the fourth. The other three nonstrikeouts were grounders to third, second and short in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings, respectively, as the Lady Whitefaces did not commit an error.

Abrie Castillo struck out a season-high 18 in tossing her first no-hitter of the season in the Lady Herd’s 6-0 win over Palo Duro on Tuesday. “One of the good things we have going is our defense,” Marquez said. “It has improved, and that really helps Castillo’s confidence in the circle.”
On the offensive end, it was an “ugly” day for the Lady Herd despite 6 runs on 8 hits. Castillo helped her own cause with a 3-for-3 game

Lady Herd’s Erica Ramirez gets a cloud of dust and face full of dirt as a slide comes up a tad short while advancing to third on a passed ball in the first inning Tuesday.
– all doubles – that included 2 RBI. Erica Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a pair of twobaggers, 2 runs scored and RBI. Leslie Castillo also was 2-for-3 with a double and run scored, while Haleigh Barba accounted for the other Lady Herd hit with a run-scoring single. “Offensively, it was an ugly 6-0 win,” Marquez said. “We need our sticks to come alive. The pitcher was not as fast as the one we faced from Amarillo [on March 16], but as hitters, we have to adjust. “We’re going to need our sticks. From 1-9, they have shown they can hit. We had the luxury today because of the way Abrie pitched, but people will get their hits off her in our district.” The Lady Whitefaces would score all they would need in the first when Ramirez ripped a two-out double and went to third on a passed ball. Abrie Castillo plated her with a double for a 1-0 lead. After doubling, Leslie Castillo scored on an error to make it 2-0 in the second before the Lady Herd put the game out of reach in the fifth. Mickey Enriquez and Alexus Carbajal drew back-to-back, one-out walks before Enriquez scored on an error and Ramirez doubled home Carbajal. Abrie Castillo doubled in Ramirez for the second time in the game, then went to third on Haylie Valdez’s fly out to center. Barba singled in Castillo to provide the final margin. The Lady Herd were back on the district trail Saturday with a visit to Dumas. They return to open three-game homestand on Tuesday when Caprock comes to call. First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m. HEREFOFRD 6, PALO DURO 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E PDHS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 HHS 1 1 0 0 4 0 x 6 8 0 WP: A.Castillo; LP: Bernel
