Proudly Serving The High Plains Since 1901
Safety issues and a dearth of visitors led to city commissioners approving the removal of 17 feet from Santa Fe Park, next to the train depot on First Street (U.S. 60), to help accommodate a TxDOT project to widen the road through town. BRAND/John Carson
An always seen, but rarely frequented Hereford park will become little more than a roadside sign after action by the Hereford City Commission during its regular meeting Monday. Commissioners approved an agreement Monday that would result in a majority of the city’s Santa Fe Park falling victim to a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) widening project on U.S. 60 (First Street) through Hereford. The park, which is next to the Hereford train depot, and remainder of First Street through town will have 17 feet trimmed off the south side of the road to accommodate the widening project. While the project will cost the park much of its current space and most of HANNA its limited amenities, the move will have virtually no impact on the city park system. “It is a cosmetic park,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “We really don’t want to entice visitors to it, and the space is needed for the U.S. 60 widening project.” The city leased just more than 14,000 square feet from BNSF for the park in August 1967. Since then, a pair of concrete picnic tables, decorative landscaping, scale model of a windmill and Texas Historical Commission marker have been added to the site. Although the park next to the depot offered travelers a pleasant sight as they pass through town, its location presented city officials with potential problems. “The City of Hereford considers Santa Fe Park to be a safety issue for our citizens and the traveling public because of its close proxPLEASE SEE CITY | 5

Measures show water levels keep dropping From HPWD
LUBBOCK – An average change of -0.16 of a foot was noted in the groundwater levels of the Ogallala/ Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) Aquifer from 2017 to 2018 within the 16-county High Plains Underground Water Conservation District (HPWD) service area. The 10-year district average change (2008-18) is -8.76 feet while the fiveyear district average change (2013-18) is -2.07 feet. The average saturated thickness of the Ogallala Aquifer within the District is about 56 feet (2017-18). HPWD staff shared this information with the district’s five-member board of directors during their April 10 regular monthly meeting. In early 2018, HPWD field personnel made annual water level measurements in a network of 1,353 privately-owned water wells completed into the Ogallala/Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) Aquifers. In addition, water
level measurements were also made in 33 Dockum Aquifer wells. Since the 2017 measurements, there are nine counties with an average increase in water levels and seven counties with an average decrease. Field technician supervisor Keith Whitworth shared statistics for the 1,250 observation wells with publishable measurements. He noted that about 40 percent of the observation wells measured in 2018 had water level increases. • 545 observation wells with increases ranging from 0.1 to 12.73 feet. • 462 observation wells with decreases ranging from 0 to -.99 of a foot. • 142 observation wells with decreases ranging from -1 to -1.99 feet. • 63 observation wells with decreases ranging from -2 to -2.99 feet. • 20 observation wells with decreases ranging from -3 to -3.99 feet • 13 observation wells with decreases ranging from -4 to -4.99 feet.
• 5 observation wells with decreases ranging from -5 to -6.96 feet. “Each year, there are wells that show water level rises and others that show water level decreases. The largest water level rise was 12.73 feet in a Lubbock County well while the largest water level decline was -6.96 feet in a Castro County well,” said Whitworth. Updated water level data is now available to the public at map.hpwd. org. “Since 2013, the number of peWaterrsons using the interactive map for depth-to-water and saturated thickness information has increased significantly. Because of this, HPWD is discontinuing its printed water level report starting this year,” HPWD general manager Jason Coleman said. Those who would like printed information should contact Jed Leibbrandt at 806-762-0181 or jed.leibbrandt@ hpwd.org. He can provide hard copies of water level measurement data for an individual county or specific counties of interest.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS When we read the book of Acts, we learn of many baptisms into Christ, and many churches that were established in the first century. We know that these churches met from some of the Apostles letters written to them. For example, James 2:2, speaks of a problem that had developed in their assembly. Also, quarrels had developed in the church that met in the household of Chloe in I Corinthians 1:10-13. See also I Cor 11:18. But, there is no mention of specifically what day they met. In the bible I find two examples of when the church met : Acts 20:7 now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. In 1st Corinthians 16: 1-2, “now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also; on the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come”. The church met to observe the communion, partaking of the bread and wine, to remember the sacrifice of Christ on the first day of the week. In the 2nd example, the first day of the week was a convenient time to give, because that was the normal day that they met. In the book “The Eternal Kingdom, a History of the Church” written by F. W. Mattox (1961), there are two interesting statements about the church of the second century. A man named Pliney had been sent by the Emperor Trajan to Bithynia in 112 as propraetor. There were many Christians there, and Pliney wrote to Trajan to get information on how to deal with them. In his letter, he tells of the moral integrity of the Christians, and he makes mention of Christ, giving historical evidence of his existence. As he questioned those who said they were no longer Christians, they told him that they had been accustomed to meeting before daybreak, on an appointed day. While this was not specified as a Sunday, the statement does tell us that Christians met on an appointed day each week. Pages 35-36. The second statement comes from a man named Justin Martyr (103-165). Justin was an apologist who had written to Emperor Antonius in 150 A.O., in defense of Christianity. Justin gives a lengthy account of the Christian worship ..... and he says “that Sunday is the day that we hold our common assembly because it is the day that God made the world. And it was the day that Christ was raised after he was crucified”. Pages 69-70. CALL OR TEXT with any questions or comments you have. JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

His time in Los Angeles with the NBC hit show The Voice led him to think more progressively about his music without compromising his faith and message.

The conference’s provided lunch will be served in FUMC’s Fellowship Hall, adjacent to the sanctuary
and door prizes will be awarded. No nursery will be available for this event. “After the success of last year’s Beth Moore simulcast, we’re delighted to be bringing women of the community and the area together in a spiritual experience again this spring. This kingdom-building event is to foster faith and fellowship as well as growth for women in the community and the area,” says Betty Coneway, cochair. “We invite women of the community and the surrounding area to come and experience an inspirational Bible study, teaching, praise and worship service to enrich mind, soul, and spirit,” said Amy Carlson, a co-chair, who pursued the
original simulcast in 2017 and is carrying the project forward this year. Volunteers from FUMC, First Baptist Church and Hereford Church of the Nazarene have been involved in planning for the past several weeks. “This year’s conference will include an offering on behalf of the Deaf Smith County Crisis Center, and Watoto Ministries in Kampala, Uganda. “Participants may be assured that all proceeds from their offerings will go directly to Deaf Smith County Crisis Center and Watoto Ministries,” said Mrs. Coneway. Local technicians for the conference and simulcast include Missy Grantham, Amanda Brookhart, and Joanna Carlson.
situation.” On the health-care front, DSCHD CEO Jeff Barnhart touted the fact they were “busy recruiting doctors” and announced a Friday reception at Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) to welcome a new member of the medical staff – Dr. Michael Flores. “We are very happy with him,” Barnhart said. “He is a good fit, and I believe he will stay here a while.” He added another new doctor is slated to start with HRMC in August and neurological clinic and surgery hours have been added. “We’re trying to keep patients in town,” Barnhart said. “I think we can do that. We have some old history to overcome. There are a lot of folks who can’t let things 10-15 years old go. “Overall, things are going well, and we’re headed in the right direction.” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship continued the theme in announcing the end of the 2017-18 school year is the starting gun for a threemonth sprint to the start of the 2018-19 year and beyond. “This is going to be one of the busiest summers we’ve had,” she said. In addition to a $4 million renovation project at Tierra Blanca Elementary School set to begin in June, the district
chairman, will present a report, and Brenda Fuentes, HTFCU president, will report on activities and business status of the credit union. A report will also be presented by the HTFCU supervisory committee that is composed of Mitch Reeve, owner of After Hours Auto
Glass of Hereford, Walter Paetzold, local farmer and cattleman, and Danielle Bartels, HISD accountant. At the conclusion of the annual meeting, members of the board of directors and supervisory committee will gather for their monthly meeting and election of officers.
will spend as much as $320,000 in resurfacing and potentially replacing the track at Whiteface Stadium before the new school year opens. To cap that, Blankenship said a recent Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) study showed HISD needed to spend another $1.4 million to repairs roofs on several of its buildings. “Of course, we’re keeping a bond on our radar,” she added. “Our needs are still critical.” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna echoed the general sentiment in announcing the city is also “expecting a busy summer.” Work on a new well field – the third in the last 18 years – has begun, and Hanna said the first wells “have come in extremely strong.” The pipe work to connect the field to the city water system will be done by city workers and should start in early May. The entire project – which extends the city’s water supply another 2530 years – is expected to be completed and on line by midsummer, and Hanna added it could come in between $250,000$500,000 under its original $3.5 million budget. “The new civic center is making good progress, and we are pleased with that,” he said. “There will also be lots of street repairs and irrigation projects going on this summer.”

Big-number readers With Northwest Elementary School in the spotlight for recognition at the March 26 HISD Board of Trustees regular meeting, school officials put some of their best students front and center. Above, from left, Northwest teacher Kourtney Allen presents students Brandon Ysaguirre, Brianna Liscano, Estephania Martinez, Harrison Meador, Brandon Lacomb, Isaac Cantu, Yvonne Rodriguez, J.T. Vargas and Hagen Keith to the board. The students were touted for each having read at least 1 million words so far this school year.

Spring Paper Clover HISD to host federal campaign ends Sun. program presentation From Contributed Sources
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the country, is hosting its ninth year of Paper Clover, a fundraising campaign that provides millions of dollars in scholarships for 4-H youth in partnership with National 4-H council. Through Sunday, Texas Tractor Supply customers can participate in the Paper Clover fundraiser by purchasing a paper clover – the emblem of 4-H – for a donation during checkout at their local store or by making a purchase online at TractorSupply.com. The funds raised will be awarded to Texas 4-H youth as scholarships to attend camps and leadership conferences. “Every Paper Clover donation directly contributes to the growth and development of 4-H youth,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company. “Tractor Supply customers and team members show incredible support for this program because they see the value 4-H brings in teaching indispensable
skills that benefit their communities for years to come.” Since its start in 2010, the partnership between Tractor Supply and 4-H has generated more than $13 million in essential funding. Last year, the Paper Clover fundraiser, which takes place in the spring and fall, saw a record-breaking year with more than $1.8 million raised. “The stories we hear from the thousands of 4-H youth who have attended camps and leadership conferences because of Paper Clover remind us why we work so hard to support this mission,” said Jessica Holmes, store marketing manager at Tractor Supply Company. “In every Tractor Supply community, we see 4-H members growing into leaders and we are proud to play a role in their development.” Fundraising efforts from Paper Clover fund scholarships for numerous state level 4-H programs nationwide, and every TX donation benefits TX youth.

Lady Whitefaces stampede down season's stretch, 14-1 From Staff Reports
Tying the Area record and school mark for the second time this season, Hereford’s Dodge DeLozier cleared 6-6 Thursday to advance to next week’s Region 1 track meet. BRAND/John Carson

From Staff Reports
A thrilling high-jump competition set the tone at Thursday’s Area track meet as a pair of Whitefaces and two more Lady Whitefaces punched their tickets for the Region 1 meet. After Hereford had only two representatives at Area last year and none made region, the Herd had 12 qualify this year out of the District 3-5A meet. “The high jump was the most competitive I have ever seen,” Whiteface coach Charlie Garza said. “All eight competitors got through 6-2.” With Whitefaces Dodge DeLozier and Bo Baker in the competition, seven in the field advanced past 6-2 with four clearing DeLozier’s district championship height of 6-4. Baker, who posted a personal best in clearing 6-4, could not get over 6-5, but DeLozier tied the school record for the second time this season and matched the Area record in getting to 6-6 before missing out. With the top three places determined by misses after all cleared 6-6, DeLozier’s second was the highest finish among Whitefaces at the meet. In clearing 6-4, Baker took fourth and joined DeLozier in advancing to the Region 1 meet. For the Lady Whitefaces, Sabbatha Taylor is heading PLEASE SEE TRACK | 10
Bolting out of the gate and stampeding toward the finish proved the difference Tuesday for the Hereford Lady Whitefaces in a 14-1 win over host Dumas in District 3-5A softball action. Notching their fifth win in a row, the Lady Herd have come out on top in 11 of their last 12 games and lost only once in the last 15 to mover to 20-11-2 overall and 11-2 in league play. “Dumas was another great team win,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “We had some trouble at the start judging the win on balls that were hit, but then did what was needed to get out of those innings.” A two-out error off the bat of Daz Rodriguez cleared the bases in the first as the Lady Whitefaces scored all they would to go up 3-0. They added 2 in the second on a home run by Bianca Olvera after Danielle Pena doubled, then added 3 more in the fifth on a Nahryah Hayes RBI double and Xandira Liscano single that plated two. It was long-ball again in the sixth as Abrie Castillo and Haleigh Barba went back-to-back with 3-run and PLEASE SEE SB | 10

There were some new faces on the field, but the same result Tuesday for the Hereford Whitefaces on the District 3-5A diamond in a 16-1, mercy-shortened loss to visiting Dumas. With their losing streak extended to 14 games, the Herd has now lost 16 of their last 17 and 18 of their last 20 to fall to 7-21 overall and remain winless in league play at 0-12. “The negatives have been pretty much the same for a week-and-a-half now,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “We’ve had too many costly errors and not enough guys on base. “The great news for us is, even now, these guys haven’t given up at all. They are working to win as if it was the first game of the year. Fires me up.” There was need for encouragement as season-long fielding, pitching and hitting
woes continued to plague the Herd. Five of the Demon runs scored on errors and another on a passed ball as the Whitefaces committed 6 errors for the game. Dumas scored in each of the five innings with five in the first, one each in the second and fourth, and two in the third before essentially closing things with a seven-spot in the fifth. Herd starter Dodge DeLozier was tagged for 9 of those runs over the first 4 innings, but only 3 were earned as he allowed 9 hits, struck out 6 and walked 3. “I thought Dodge had a great game on the mound,” Moore said of the junior southpaw. “His development of two offspeed pitches and a solid pick-off move has been unreal considering the short amount of time he has been up here.” Offensive struggles continued as the Herd could muster only 2 hits Tuesday.

solo shots, respectively, to highlight the 6-run inning. Only one Lady Whiteface starter failed to get a hit as Hayes led the way with a 3-for-4 effort that included 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. The win continued a stampede down the stretch drive of the season for the Lady Whitefaces. Since a 7-1 loss to Canyon to start the second round of district play on March 30, the Lady Herd has been on a tear. Castillo crafted a 1-hitter to blank Plainview, 3-0, in the next game before the Lady Herd began to thunder down the stretch. Heading into Friday’s regular-season fi-
nale, after press time, against Caprock, the Lady Whitefaces have reeled off four straight district wins by a combined total of 73-6. “The Canyon loss was a wake-up call for sure,” Marquez said. “After the Plainview win is when we really launched off from the slump we were in. We just need to keep the momentum we have and keep pushing forward. “There is a lot of heart in our team, and they are really feeding off each other well right now, which is a big reason for the success we are seeing.” HEREFORD 14, DUMAS 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 R H E Hereford 3 2 0 0 3 6 14 14 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 3 Hereford WP: Castillo; LP: Casanova; HR- H: Olvera, Castillo, Barba

She came up short in an attempt at the distance double and just outside the qualifying line with a fifth-place finish (5:43.46).

gle before getting picked off. Eli Ellis accounted for the other hit and lone run with a solo home run on a blustery day to open the Whiteface fourth. The Herd lineup featured several new faces with sophomore Aden Suarez continuing to get starts,
while freshmen Neftali Navarez, Josiah Pena and Oscar Guerra saw their first varsity action. “We are all excited about some of the young ones coming up,” Moore said. “It has added an energy boost seeing a small fraction of the future of the program out there and cutting it loose. “I was very proud of them and even more so of the upper classmen who
took them in and made them part of the family. The future is certainly bright.” The final series of the season is next week with the Herd traveling to Caprock on Tuesday before hosting the Longhorns in the finale Friday at 5 p.m. DUMAS 16, HEREFORD 1 1 2 3 4 5 R H E Dumas 5 1 2 1 7 16 12 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 2 6 Hereford WP: na; LP: DeLozier; HR- H: E.Ellis
face triple jumper Jasrianna Gonzalez. Although more than 2 feet off the winning jump, Gonzalez made no doubt about advancing by hitting the pit at 35-11, a full 6 inches ahead of the next competitor, to take fourth. Lady Whiteface teammate Elizabeth Ramirez posted a leap of 34-1 to finish seventh. Whiteface Jaydon Garcia was eighth in both the 3200 and 1600 meters with times of 10:55.2 and 5:02.19, respectively, and
last-minute qualifier Eric Baca was eighth in shot put with a toss of 40-8. The 4x400 relay team of Henry Cervantes, Luis Huerta, Seth Dixon and Gilberto Ramos came in seventh with a season-best time of 3:30.53. DeLozier, Baker, Taylor and Gonzalez will take part in the UIL Class 5A Region 1 Track Meet April 27-28 in Lubbock. The top two qualifiers in each event qualify for the UIL Class 5A State Meet, May 11-12 in Austin.
