Fire was at the forefront of Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court with half of its agenda devoted to fire-related items. In arguably the easiest decision the board has had to make,
the county’s burn ban was extended in a unanimous vote that drew comments on the dry conditions from commissioners. When asked, Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner had lost count of how many days it had been since there was measurable

precipitation in the county, but Precinct 2 Commissioner Jerry O’Connor noted it had been 168 days, as of Tuesday. Precinct 3 Commissioner Mike Brumley reported the last measurable rain at his place was on Oct. 4, while Precinct 1’s Chris Kahlich
added the rain at his house during the past few months has been just enough “to make you mad.” Action to extend the ban was required by law. State law provides a county judge can arbitrarily impose or lift a burn ban for 10 days before the PLEASE SEE BAN | 3

HISD Chief Academic Officer Mark Stokes presented the board with the six classes the district will be providing after the regular school year ends. Four of the six offerings are required to be offered, and all but one will run its entirety during the month of June. Three of the required classes are offered from June 4-27. Supplemental instruction for fifth-graders and eighth-graders will run from 8 a.m.-noon each day with the fifth-graders meeting at Aikman Elementary and eighthgraders at Hereford Preparatory Academy.

Also beginning on June 4 will be a credit recovery class for high school students. Not a required offering, the session will run June 4-22 from 8 a.m.noon. The other required offering the district must have is pre-K bilingual summer school. To be held at Stanton Learning, the class will meet June 4-July 16 from 8 a.m.noon. Stokes noted that while HISD is required by law to offer the class, students in need of it are not required to attend. In past years, he said, attendance in the bilingual classes has noticeably dropped after the

Mary Lou Prickett Knox, 89, passed away in Dallas, on March 22, 2018 after a lengthy illness. Her passing was peaceful, painless, and ready for Glory. Mary Lou was a firm believer in her Christian faith. Mary Lou was born on Sept. 24, 1928 to John and Mamie Prickett on a farm outside of Dill City, Okla. She was the seventh of 10 children and second of three girls. She attended Dill City schools all 12 years of her education and graduated in 1946 and honored with a special certificate for perfect attendance. After graduation, she attended Oklahoma A&M for her freshman year, when she got a call from Stan Keas, one of her former Dill City principals. He had transferred to be head of a small
country school in Adrian, and asked her to come teach for him. She accepted and began teaching at a very early age. She promptly enrolled at nearby West Texas State in Canyon to complete her college courses. While at Adrian, she was introduced to the son of a fellow teacher, Alberta Bones, and soon after became Mrs. Ted Bones. Ted was a Marine and shortly to be deployed to Korea. As with so many other American soldiers, he was killed in action and unfortunately left behind a young wife that was expecting their son, Ralph. While finishing her degree and obtaining her teaching certificate, she met Martha Sullivan who would be her friend for the next 67 years. Martha introduced her to Reuben Knox from Hereford. However, upon graduation she moved to Chula Vista, Calif., to teach with Ralph in tow and live with her sister Naomi. Reuben constantly wrote to her and made several trips to see her and convinced her to move back and marry him. The newlyweds began to start a family while living in Herford, San Antonio, Lubbock and Hereford again. Additions to the family included Rosemary, Rosalind and Ray. Once the family was established, she began teaching school again. The teaching certificate Mary Lou had earned was for K-12, which helped keep her working in
every town Reuben’s career led them, including Hereford, Garden City (Kan.), Lubbock, Amarillo, and finally San Antonio in 1984. She taught many disciplines in elementary to high school. However, teaching home economics was her passion. In Hereford, she taught fourth grade at Aikman Elementary School. Her career lasted into her 70s when she reluctantly retired. However, she continued to tutor children at her home. Mary Lou and Reuben’s final home together was in San Antonio. Reuben died in 2001, and Mary Lou stayed on until 2008, when she decided to move to Cordell, Okla., where she could join family, reacquaint with childhood friends, and enjoy the slower lifestyle of a smaller community. Mary Lou’s favorite hobbies were sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, bunco, cooking and strongly competitive games of Yahtzee with her great-grandchildren. She crocheted caps for premature babies and for several years even wrote a monthly family newsletter. Her cooking specialty was banana pudding and was made for every special occasion. Entering her handmade talents in the Washita County Fair every year was another of her passions. She won several awards and in 2016 was selected to the Hall of Fame. Hobbies she PLEASE SEE OBITS | 5

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS What does the bible say about sacrifices we offer today? Romans 12:1 reads “I beseech (urge) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service”. We should notice that this is an appeal from the apostle Paul to do that which would be pleasing to God .... but it is not a command. It Is a fact that God’s mercy is shown in his provisions for man’s salvation in and through the gospel....this should be a mighty appeal for man to give God his all. BUT, God does give us free will choice to obey him or not. And so the apostle Paul beseeches or urges his readers to do this, which would be acceptable to God. I Corinthians 6:18-20 reads “Flee sexual Immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who Is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s”. A similar statement is found in II Cor 6:16 “And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God”. Romans 6:13,19 reads “Present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God ..... even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification”. When we use our bodies to commit sin, we are dead, separated from God. Neither God, nor his Holy Spirit can dwell with us. We are made alive (spiritual birth) when we repent of our sins, confess Christ, and are baptized for the remission of sins. This is what Christ refers to as being born again in John 3: 3-5 We are flesh (physical) and our deeds are physical. But our body is a living sacrifice when it is devoted to the worship and service of God. When the spirit of man uses his body in this manner, it is called reasonable (spiritual) service. Sometimes the woes of life overwhelm us. But the bible says “the peace of God Which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:7. If you have bible questions, CALL OR TEXT, and ask about our bible study. Might be the most important call you will ever make! JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

WT Services employees recognized were Barbara McAlpine, administrative assistant, Amarillo radio shop, 10 years, and Jessica Grajeda, Operations Center, five years. Amy Linzey, chief executive officer and general manager, highlighted ongoing efforts to expand fiber-optic service. “The Universal Service Fund is vital to WTRT and companies like us. WTRT serves a 2,300 square mile area with less than one person per square mile. Without USF, WTRT couldn’t maintain its network. The overall economy of rural areas would be compromised. Residents and businesses in rural America deserve broadband internet that allows developing businesses and stimulates the economy. “In 2015, fiber deployment in rural America was tried by developing a new fund that would have allotted WTRT about $2 million in additional funding annually over a 10-year period. “Unfortunately, we will only receive half that, not enough to build fiber to everyone in our service area. “My friend, Shirley Bloomfield, CEO of NTCA, the Rural Broadband Association, has testified repeatedly before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. This Committee will recommend to the current administration how the trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill funds should be spent. We are currently waiting on their decision. “Ms. Bloomfield testified broadband is necessary in rural America and companies like WTRT still need funding to build out fiber networks. Because of her testimony, we are hopeful additional funding will allow us to bring fiber to all of our members. “We initially targeted about 150 miles of fiber to be installed in 2017 and again for 2018. Unfortunately, we were forced to scale that back to approximately 80 miles each year. Despite shortfalls, since my arrival at WTRT in 2012, we have installed

We have almost completed Oklahoma Lane and Frio and ask that you work with our Construction Team when they come to you to schedule installation of drops to your homes and businesses. “If you are close to a Fiber-Fed Node or we have passed your home with fiber, you will be able to have high speed internet and receive our video from the state-of-the-art IPTV system in Hereford,” she explained. “Texas has a smaller fund we also rely upon to support our network. Our industry successfully passed a bill (SB 586) during the 2017 legislative session. We thank Senator Kel Seliger, and Representatives Smithee, King, and Arrington for their support of this bill. “Fiber won’t work without network. We have invested significantly in the systems that operate our network, upgrading our main switch, the video sys-
tems, and installed Dense Wave Division Multiplying equipment on existing fiber that routes through our network into the Amarillo Petroleum Building. DWDM expands capacity of the fiber optic cable, allowing us almost unlimited bandwidth without having to install additional fiber. We have installed a denial of service server that captures cyber-attacks, installed new email servers, and installed a new billing system. We have enlisted our engineering consulting firm to assist in analyzing our network, with standardizing, identifying vulnerabilities, and making it more stable and reliable priorities. “Our engineering consultant has conducted a Cybersecurity audit and performed ongoing analyses to protect our network and customers. While expensive, these investments are necessary to keep our network updated and to provide the best possible service to our members. Since I arrived in 2012, we have invested approximately $16 million in our network,” she said. “We continually seek to improve our service, connecting our network with neighboring communications providers and have connected our facilities
directly to the major ISPs in Seattle and Dallas. The connections allow redundancy and a better customer experience. “We recently upgraded our transport network and continue to monitor its usage to ensure appropriate bandwidth to serve customers . We search for new services while continuing to improve existing ones. We provide voice telephone service, long distance and international service,” Ms. Linzey said. “We are working consistently and diligently to provide broadband internet at speeds that meet the needs of our customers. “We provide Enhanced 911 service to identify your address in an emergency. “We are an authorized Motorola Dealer and offer two-way radio sales and service.

and Reuben enjoyed included square dancing, following Barbershop Society conventions, travelling, and making lifelong friends in every town along the way. Mary Lou’s declining health and need to downsize prompted her to move to Integris Village in Cordell for the last three years. However, she never slowed down knitting, sewing, quilting and cooking. Most days she was joined by nieces Jane and Louan. Her biggest pleasure was visits with her many generations of the family tree. All of whom she thought as special. Further declining health necessitated her moving last December to assisted living in Keller, which was near her granddaughter, Sandi Walker, who could help with daily care. Further decline in health led to her death March 22. She is survived by her children Rosemary Condon and husband Richard, Rosalind Johnson and husband Steve, and Ray Knox; grandchildren Sandi Walker and husband Todd, Caitlin Tracy, and Clay and Curtis Chapman; great-grandchildren Madeline, Savannah, Landon, Isabella, Julia, and Levi Walker; brother Jimmie Prickett and wife,Anna of Dill City, Okla.; and several nieces, nephews and even cousins. Mary Lou was preceded in death by her parents John and Mamie Prickett; husband Reuben Knox; son Ralph Knox; brothers B.P., Frank, Carl, Lloyd, Loy Elvin and Joe; and sisters Naomi and Mildred. A family/friend memorial celebration will be held this coming June in Keller. Keeping with being a good teacher, Mary Lou’s wishes were to not interrupt school sessions.

teacher. Although she was an only child, she and her cousin, Patty Ball, were best friends throughout their entire lives. She married Paul Lake Dishman Jr. on Christmas Eve, 1950 in Hereford. They subsequently moved to Austin and then settled in Dallas. She loved being a Dallas-ite and everything about Big D, except the traffic. Together, Paul and Phyllis raised two children. She was a member of Walnut Hill United Methodist Church for 54 years and loved the Harmony Sunday School class. Paul passed away in 1982. In 1996, she married Sam Vaughan, whom she met at church. They were married until his death in 2012. The last line in her autobiography was a message to her grandchildren, "What
are you going to pioneer?" She was known as "Eldie" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by a daughter, Jessica Johnston and husband Mark; son Paul (Chip) Dishman and wife Beth Lynn; grandchildren Lake Dishman and wife Elysa, Deya Justice and husband David, Tony Johnston and wife Meaghan, and Melissa Johnston; and great-grandchildren Jonah Dishman, Will Justice, Emelyn Dishman and Trip Johnston.

The season of Lent and Easter
Spring is eagerly anticipated, as many people look forward to enjoying the great outdoors once more. Spring is also a special time of year for practicing Christians. Beginning on Ash Wednesday and lasting 40 weekdays until the arrival of Easter Sunday, the Lenten season is a very important time of year for Christians. During Lent, Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, self-denial, and spiritual discipline. While the Bible does not reference Lent, the practice of observing Lent has become a standard. The following focuses on each of the special days of this church season as they pertain to Western Christianity (Eastern Orthodox churches observe Lent somewhat differently).
Ash Wednesday
The Day of Ashes com-
memorates the repentance of sin. On Ash Wednesday, Christians have ashes placed on their foreheads in the shape of a cross in recognition of their need to repent. Many churches host Ash Wednesday services, and those who receive the ashes are not only reminded of their mortality and sinfulness, but also of the opportunity for absolution. Christians typically fast on Ash Wednesday, though some simply abstain from eating meat.
enant Thursday," "Maundy Thursday" or "Thursday of Mysteries." Holy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the apostles. According to Catholic News Agency, Holy Thursday might be one of the most important, complex and profound days of celebration in the Catholic Church. Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ and the institution of the sacrament of the priesthood.
Palm Sunday
On what is now called "Palm Sunday," Jesus Christ rode a donkey into Jerusalem while villagers welcomed him and waved palm branches. This is mentioned in each of the Biblical Gospels and occurs a week before His subsequent resurrection. Jesus possibly rode a donkey rather than a horse as a sign of peace, as a warwaging king might ride a horse. The "Passion of
Good Friday
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus was condemned by his peers as King Herod and Pontius Pilate had found him not guilty of his crimes. But crowds were enraged, and Pilate reluctantly ordered his crucifixion rather than the Christ" is typically read during Palm Sunday masses.
Holy Thursday
Holy Thursday is sometimes referred to as "Cov-

face a mass riot.
Holy Saturday
Holy Saturday marks the final day of the Triduum, or the three days preceding Easter Sunday. Scripture states that Holy Saturday was when Jesus' body was placed in the tomb.
Easter Sunday
A festive and celebratory day for Christians, Easter Sunday is a time for sharing the good news of Jesus' resurrection. His body is discovered missing from the tomb, and Jesus appears to his followers again showing proof that He is alive. Typically, Easter Sunday is one of the most well-attended Sunday services for Christians. It also is a day to spend with family, and many families share large meals to mark the end of the Lenten season.

Whitefaces finish 2nd, ladies 4th at Invitational By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
It was a good day on the oval and in the field for the Hereford Whiteface and Lady Whiteface track teams Thursday when they hosted the annual Hereford Invitational Meet. The Herd finished tied for second with Lubbock Cooper in the seven-team field with 106 points behind meet winner Clovis (202). Canyon was a tight fourth with 102 points, while Dumas (56), Plainview (36) and Lubbock All Saints Episcopal (5) rounded out the field. On the girls side, the Lady Whitefaces were fourth in their six-team field with 94 points. Lubbock Cooper (195) won the distaff meet with Clovis (138) and Dumas (99) completing the top three. Plainview trailed Hereford with 75 points, and All Saints finished with 2 points. “I thought the boys did a great job today,” Whiteface coach Charlie Garza said. “Dodge DeLozier tying a school record [for high jump] was amazing, as was Bo Baker and Cole Griffith going second and

From Staff Reports
A middle-inning swoon proved a box canyon for the Hereford Whitefaces in an 11-0 loss Wednesday at Amarillo in District 3-5A diamond play. Dropping their seventh straight, the Herd has now lost nine of their last 10 and 11 of the last 13 to fall to 7-14 overall and 0-5 in district action. “Our guys competed hard,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “They weren’t worried about who they were playing or outcomes of individual performances. They just showed up, played hard and focused on the right things. “Amarillo had a big, two-out rally in the fourth, but besides that, we played toeto-toe with one of the best teams in the state.” After scoring single runs in each of the first two innings, the Sandies made the most of an error, two walks, a passed ball, sacrifice fly and base hit to forge a 5-0 lead through three. They broke the game open with two outs in the fourth. The first two batters grounded out, then the next eight Sandies would reach base on a hit batter, walk and five hits – four singles and a double. Six would cross the dish to stretch the lead to 11-0. The Whitefaces tried to stave off the mercy rule in the top of the fifth when D.J. Ellis was hit by a pitch with one out and Michael Garcia followed with a single.

Overcoming their own stumbles in a game that took two days to complete because of rain, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces did what was “needed” Wednesday to rally past Caprock, 8-4, in District 3-5A softball play. Extending their winning streak to six games, the Lady Herd have won seven of their last nine with a tie and nine of their last 12 with a tie to improve to 1510-2 overall and 6-1 in the district. “We did what we needed to get the win,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “We had six errors in the two-day game which was just mental mistakes with lack of communication. “Games like this one with the weather and delay are games where anything can happen. We’re just glad things went in our favor.” The Lady Whitefaces snapped a 1-1 game in the fourth when Haleigh Barba and Daz Rodriguez belted solo home runs to make it 3-1. The lead was short-lived as the Lady Longhorns
Junior Daz Rodriguez kept her bat hot with a 2-for-4 game that included a solo homer and 3 RBI in an 8-4 win over Caprock. BRAND/John Carson went up 4-3 on a homer to open the bottom of the fourth and a pair of run-

The Caprock lead lasted two outs into the fifth. Abrie Castillo walked and was safe at second on a Barba fielder’s choice, then they both stole a base to move up. Haylie Valdez put the Lady Herd up for good with a single to plate Castillo and Barba to make it 5-4. Rodriguez followed with a single to score Valdez before going to second on a passed ball and coming home on Nahryah Hayes’ misplayed pop into right.

Moving forward now, putting two solid performances together in district is something we need to be able to do.” The Whitefaces had that chance after press time Friday when they hosted the Sandies. Next week’s series with Randall has the Raiders coming to Whiteface Field on Tuesday for a 5 p.m. first pitch. The Herd make the return trip to Randall on Friday.

With the top three batters in the lineup (Danielle Pena, Bianca Olvera and Castillo) a combined 0-for10 for the game, the Lady Whitefaces mustered only 5 hits.

Castillo went the distance in the circle to get the win. She allowed 4 runs – only 1 earned – on 5 hits, while striking out 10 and walking only 1.

The Lady Whitefaces began that second round after press time Friday when they hosted Canyon, the only district team to beat them so far, to open a three-game homestand.

After matching his personal best in clearing 6-4, the junior made it over on the second attempt at 6-6 to tie the Hereford school record. He failed in three attempts to set the record at 6-7. His 6-6 final jump far outdistanced secondplace finisher and teammate Baker, who cleared a personal-best 5-10. Griffith completed the sweep with a jump of 5-8. Juggling of relay teams proved beneficial as all three Whiteface relay units finished second in their respective races. The 4x100 team of Henry Cervantes, Luis Huerta, Seth Dixon and Raymundo Ponce clocked a season-best 43.65, while Gilbert Ramos replaced Huerta in the 4x200 as the Herd ran a 1:33.25. Huerta replaced Ponce and joined Cervantes, Dixon and Ramos to clock a 3:33.45 and take second by more than 3 seconds in the 4x400. Huerta also turned in a third-place finish in the

son. Eric Baca picked up the slack with a seventh-place finish in shot put (35-4.5) and eighth in discus (11810). Strength in distance races and somewhat surprising finishes in the field sparked the Lady Herd in the meet. Lady Whiteface Sabbatha Taylor led the way by winning the 3200 meters (12:19.14) and finishing second in the 1600 meters (5:39.57) and 800 meters (2:31.73). In the 3200, teammates Katelin McCathern and Melanie Jacquez came in fourth and fifth, respectively, in 12:53.80 and 13:22.48. The duo also finished fifth and sixth in the 1600 meters. In the field, Andrea Valenzuela heaved the shot 35-3 to outdistance the competition by 7 inches
for the win, while teammate Michelle Villalobos threw 34-5.5 for third – just a half-inch out of second. Elizabeth Ramirez and Jasrianna Gonzalez were second and third in the triple jump with leaps of 33-8.5 and 33-6, respectively. Gonzalez was also fourth in long jump (161.5). In the shorter track distances, the top Lady Whiteface finisher was Keihlen Rodriguez, who crossed the line in 13.59 to take fourth in the 100 meters. Alyssa Vallejo was fifth in the 400 meters (1:05.79), and Ramirez scored with a seventhplace finish in the 800 meters (2:43.53). Both teams will back on the track Friday when they take part in a triangular meet at Canyon.
