While no one will scoff at the rain Hereford and Deaf Smith County received last week, any abatement the precipitation had on the ongoing fire dangers in the area has come and gone. That was the assessment a few days after the fact by Hereford Fire Marshal and county emergency services director Dead Turney. “The rain helped the fire situation for a day or two, but we are right back in the high fire danger area,” he said Thursday. “We have critical fire weather days coming. “The county burn ban is still in effect, so everyone must still be very careful.” Last week, the county saw a bit of a respite in the recent drought when the first measurable rainfall since early October fell on the area. At the city’s official collection site on Kingwood Drive, Turney said .29 of an inch was measured. “It was heavier in some parts of the city and county,” he added. “It seemed like more, but it was really only a little bit. “Still, even a little bit helped.” The welcomed rain quelled fire dangers for a short time, but lost out on any lasting effect by a return to normal spring weather conditions of warming temperatures, dropping humidity and increasing winds. That redundant forecast has virtually been in place since the rains fell and is expected to continue through most of next week. The result is, despite the recent rains, counPLEASE SEE FIRE | 6

Lynn Taylor Boomer, age 78, passed away peacefully on Thursday April 26, 2018 at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Oklahoma City, Okla.. He was born July 2, 1939 in Shamrock to Bert and Athlyn Boomer. He was a 1957 graduate of Hereford High School, where he was president of the student body and earned an Eagle Scout rank. He went on to attend Texas Tech University and graduated from Oklahoma State University with a double major in agricultural economics and animal husbandry. He married Kay Robertson on Jan.
20, 1963. After a few years of farming and ranching in New Mexico, Texas, and southern Oklahoma, Kay and Lynn with their young sons, Marsh and Kurt, moved to Shattuck, Okla., in 1973. Lynn established and managed Shattuck Farms and pioneered center-pivot irrigation in northwest Oklahoma. When Braum’s acquired the company in the 1980s, Lynn continued to oversee operations. Lynn was asked to serve as state secretary of agriculture in Gov. Bellmon’s administration, but declined the appointment in order to keep his family in Shattuck. Lynn’s love of his community inspired him to serve on the Shattuck school board, impact youth through Christian ministry and care for those in need. For decades he was dedicated to the Ellis County Jail ministry, where he held weekly Bible studies. Lynn had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. Lynn lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, visiting with friends, playing golf, traveling, reading and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Lynn is survived by his
wife of 55 years, Kay; sons Marsh Boomer and wife Jan of Bartlesville, and Kurt Boomer and wife Ashley of Collinsville; grandchildren Taylor, Susanna, Seth and Grayson Boomer; sister Margaret Oliver and husband Robert; sister-in-law Carolyn Hopkins and husband Lynn; two nephews; and one niece. He was preceded in death by his father, Bert Boomer and mother Athlyn Boomer. Memorial services were held April 29 at the Chaffin Auditorium, in Shattuck, Okla., under the direction of Shaw Funeral Home in Shattuck. Memorials may be made to the Salvation Army, in care of Shaw Funeral Home, P.O. Box 276, Vici, OK, 73859. Condolences may be made to the family at shawfuneralhome.net.

REBOOT: FROM PAGE 1
ing with TBES and Stanton Learning Center – two of three HISD campuses a 2005 independent Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) facilities study recommended be “completely renovated or replaced.” The “Next Steps” plan was approved by HISD trustees in November, along with a $4 million fund balance appropriation to pay for it. The plan will see TBES closed at the end of this school year to undergo a year-long renovation, then re-open to start the 201920 school year as HISD’s new home for its pre-K and Head Start programs. At that time, the 94-yearold Stanton building, which is essentially unusable due to safety issues, will be closed as an active HISD campus. Plan approval also meant the redrawing of HISD elementary attendance lines
with the district dropping from five to four elementaries when Tierra Blanca closed. Depending on where a family resides within redrawn boundaries, most of the current TBES students will be attending West Central Elementary in the future. Those not going to West Central will be attending Bluebonnet Elementary. Ironcially, West Central was the third HISD campus the 2005 TASB study recommended renovating or closing. That campus was overhauled in 2007. While the dilemma with Stanton is obvious – age – that is not so much the problem with TBES. Despite being 50 years old, the school’s design is its ultimate Achilles heel. Both TBES and West Central were built in the late 1960s based on a design for a then-innovative approach to open education. Unfortunately, the concept fell out of favor within a very few years – leaving school districts like HISD
HISD architect Lenora Ask welcomes more than 20 sub-contractors to a pre-bid meeting Tuesday for the upcoming renovation project at Tierra Blanca Elementary School. BRAND/John Carson to cope with mainstreaming a school design that was based on an obsolete overall concept. The problem for Ask in transforming the current labyrinth of the school’s interior into a more coherent design was akin to fitting a square peg into a round hole. “It was very tricky,” Ask said of revamping the main
hexagonal section of the building that had gerrymandered classrooms and hallways. “You have a hexagonal shape, and you want rectangular classrooms. We were pretty much able to accomplish that. “There are classrooms
that are a bit oversized to accommodate some unavoidable oddities like support beams.” The design turns the school’s hodgepodge interior into 19 uniform classroom that meet all state and federal regulations for
size, access and other requirements for pre-K and Head Start classes. With trustee opting for a construction manager at risk (CMAR) method for construction, Southwest Contractors was selected to fill that role. Ask and Southwest representatives hosted a pre-bid meeting Tuesday to which more than 20 sub-contractors representing mechanicals, electrical, plumbing, flooring and demolition attended. Southwest began accepting sub-contract bids following the meeting and will take them through Monday. Ask said Southwest is planning to present its total construction price to the HISD Board of Trustees during its regular May meeting, which is being moved from Monday, May 28 to Monday, May 21 because of the Memorial Day holiday.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Bargaining I Everyone wants a good deal when purchasing something. As Christians, little do we realize that we must not bargain our soul for the lesser things of this world.

Another said, “Judas made a bad bargain when he sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver”. Luke 22:1-7 Matthew 27: 3-10 A third said, “Ananias and Sapphira made a bad bargain when they lied about the price of their land”. Acts 5: 1-11 A fourth said, “Jesus said it is a bad bargain when a man gains the whole world and loses his own soul”. Mark 8: 36-37 We might add another to the above list by observing that it is a bad bargain for you and me to trade our hope of heaven for the pleasures, riches, power and glory of this world. Jesus was shown all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and was told he could have all of these things if he bowed down to Satan. Matthew 4: 8-10. Jesus knew that would be a bad bargain. What kinds of bargains do we make? Do we trade the worship time for a few hours of sleep, or extracurricular activities? Do we trade Christian service for idle pleasures. Let us not trade Heaven for anything! Romans 8:35 asks a very crucial question: “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” John Henley God wants us to obey and serve him, but he gives us the choice. Our obedience is how we demonstrate our love for God and Christ. I John 5:3 and John 13: 23-24. What if we decide not to obey? HEBREWS 2:1-3 “Therefore, we must give the more earnest heed to the thing we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed by those who heard Him”.

USDA to aid cotton producers From Deaf Smith County FSA
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced March 3 at the 66th annual Mid-South Farm and Gin Show the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is taking action to assist cotton producers through a Cotton Ginning Cost Share (CGCS) program in order to expand and maintain the domestic marketing of cotton. “America’s cotton producers have now faced four years of financial stress, just like the rest of our major commodities, but with a weaker safety net,” Perdue said. “In particular, cotton producers confront high input and infrastructure costs, which leaves them more financially leveraged than most of their colleagues. That economic burden has been felt by the entire cotton market, including the
gins, cooperatives, marketers, cottonseed crushers, and the rural communities that depend upon their success.” The sign-up period for the CGCS program runs through May 11. Under the program, which is administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), cotton producers may receive a cost share payment, which is based on a producer’s 2016 cotton acres reported to FSA multiplied by 20 percent of the average ginning cost for each production region. “I hope this will be a needed help as the rural cotton-growing communities stretching from the Southeastern U.S. to the San Joaquin Valley of California prepare to plant,” Perdue said. “This infusion gives them one last opportunity for assistance until their Farm Bill safety net becomes effective.” The CGCS payment rates
Saturday, May 5, 2018
for the Southwest Region – which includes Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas – will $19.65 per acre based on a $98.26 per-acre cost for ginning. CGCS payments are capped at $40,000 per producer. To qualify for the program, cotton producers must meet conservation compliance provisions, be actively engaged in farming and have adjusted gross incomes not exceeding $900,000. FSA will mail letters and pre-filled applications to all eligible cotton producers. The program was established under the statutory authority of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act. To learn more about the CGCS program, visit www. fsa.usda.gov/cgcs or contact a local FSA county office. To find your local FSA county office, visit the USDA’s new website: https:// www.farmers.gov/.

HISD hosts annual Head Start application day Tues. From Staff Reports
Livestock shows more than just banners, ribbons, plaques By Justin Walker Texas Farm Bureau
Travel. Show. Repeat. That’s the life of many youth in Texas during the major stock show season, which begins in January and ended late last month. And county stock shows are still going strong throughout the year. Sometimes folks don’t truly understand the importance of stock shows. We saw it in Houston when the stock show and rodeo was protested by people who were misinformed about agricultural practices. Raising an animal teaches responsibility. It grooms the student for future careers in agriculture and other fields. Students also learn about genetics, feeding and livestock evaluation. They learn time management. Students have to feed, water and work with the animal they choose to raise. Sometimes they take care of more than one animal. Exhibitors also learn how to win, and
lose, graciously. They make friends with other students from across the state. Livestock shows are more than just chasing a banner and that grand champion title. It’s the experiences that truly make the project worthwhile. They learn about themselves. You can’t put a price on that. And there are many scholarship opportunities at the major shows. At Houston alone, there were 741 varying in eligibility, amount and type of degree. In 2017, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo committed $11.5 million dollars in scholarships, grants, endowments, auctions, a calf scramble program and show premiums. Students from all walks of life can benefit from these scholarships, allowing them to further their education. Livestock showing not only cultivates well-rounded individuals through hard work, but also promotes the future of Texas agriculture.

Also installed was Debbie Ray of Nacogdoches, left, as Governor Elect. Minchew is a charter member of the Pilot Club of Hereford which was chartered in August 1984. The club focus is brain-related injuries.

9 Lintner to lead Lady Herd hoops From Staff Reports
– – – – – – – –
Hereford BRAND
A new era in Hereford Lady Whiteface basketball is set to begin for the 2018-19 season after Bryan Lintner was named as the team’s new head coach. A 34-year coaching veteran, Lintner comes to Hereford from Bushland High School. As head coach for the Lady Falcons for the past three seasons, he compiled an overall record of 6029 while going 24-0 in district play and fashioning a 3-3 mark in the postseason. Prior to taking the Bushland position, Lintner was an assistant at Canyon High School under Joe Lombard from 1998-2015, where coached junior high and freshman teams. Before joining the staff at Canyon, Lintner was head coach at
Wheeler High School and Anahuac High School. “We believe the experience Coach Lintner brings to our basketball athletes and to our girls athletic program will be invaluable,” Hereford High School girls athletic director Brenda Kitten said. “He has proven himself to be a dedicated and competitive leader in high school girls basketball in the Panhandle. “He is eager to being putting his ideas and expectations in place for Hereford ISD girls basketball.” Lintner’s hiring came after longtime Lady Herd coach Christy Connally resigned the spot and her teaching job with Hereford Independent School District. Since a four-year playoff run ended in 2016, Lady Whiteface cagers have fallen on hard times. After going 11-17 in 2016-17 and
missing the playoffs, the Lady Herd went 9-22 this season and finished near the bottom of the district standings. While injuries played their fair part in the problems over the past two seasons, others were evident. Some of those came to the surface in March when Michelle Lookingbill, the mother of a Lady Whiteface player, addressed the HISD Board of Trustees over the status, progress and future of the Lady Herd hoop program. While lauding the efforts of players and Kitten during her presentation, Lookingbill made no specific reference to Connally. “I have resigned to pursue other opportunities,” Connally said. “I am leaving it in God’s hands.” It is unknown at this time if Lintner will conduct the annual Lady Whiteface Basketball Camp in June.

Opening round leads way for Aven, Harrison victory From Staff Reports
Although their secondround score was better than their first’s, the opening round proved the difference for Jason Aven and Key Harrison in winning the annual CrimeStoppers Golf Tournament at John Pitman Golf Course. Posting the second-best score (64) in Sunday’s final round, the tandem lost a shot on the final day, but still cruised to the Championship Flight crown with a 130 total. Carding the low score for Saturday’s first round at 66, Aven-Harrison held a two-shot lead over Jerry and Linda Stevens heading into Sunday. Despite a second 68 Sunday, the Stevenses fell off the pace and into fourth place at 136 as Phillip Kahlich and Barrett Weishaar carded a 63 to finish second at 133 (7063). Caleb Johns and A.J. Kratochvil teamed up to shoot
134 (69-65) and take third. Richard Davila and Kim Rundell overcame a twoshot deficit to forge a tie atop the First Flight leaderboard at 141. Davila-Rundell chased a Saturday 74 with a finalround 67 to catch firstround co-leader Rodney McCracken-Mike Maynard, who shot 72-69. One of three groups in the lead at 72 after Saturday, David Bhakta and Roger McCracken carded a 70 on Sunday to finish third at 142. The other first-round co-leader – Don Leverett and David Hayes – came in fourth at 143 after a 71 Sunday. In the second flight, Richard Martinez and Alex Chavira shaved six strokes off their first-round score to emerge on top at 152 (7973) after sharing the firstround lead with two other duos.

Diamond year 'frustrating,' future 'bright' By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
To say the 2018 Hereford Whiteface baseball season was an enigma wrapped in a conundrum wrapped in a riddle would be somewhat of an understatement. In more colloquial lingo, the diamond Herd took another step forward this season that was accompanied by a half-step back. “It was a frustrating season on all levels,” secondyear Hereford coach Bryan
Moore said. “That might not be the best way to describe it, but it’s the best I can come up with. We had a lot of good kids, and we made progress. It just might not have shown up in our record. “We were able to continue what happened last year, but injuries and suspensions didn’t help us.” The Whitefaces just completed a 7-23 campaign that saw them finish winless in District 3-5A play and in the league cellar
COMING UP BETWEEN THE LINES
for the third consecutive season. In addition to closing this season on a 16-game losing streak, dropping 18 of their last 20 and 20 of their final 22 games, the Whitefaces complied fewer than 10 wins for a third straight season as their record fell to a combined 24-51 over that span. “I have to figure out why we’re not developing like other schools,” Moore said. “Our freshmen are not that far behind those
from other schools, but we lag behind by the time their juniors and seniors. “This is something me and we, as coaches, have to figure out. We have good kids, who are willing to do all we ask.” Part of that development problem can be pinned on a lack of consistency within the program.

Although the calendar shows the 201718 school year to be winding down, it is the 2018-19 year that will be in the spotlight Tuesday. Hereford Kiwanis Club is teaming up with the local McDonald’s to host Backpack Project night. “We know there is need in the community,” Hereford Kiwanian Debbie Gonzalez said. “This is what Kiwanis stands for – saving the children of the world. “What better way to save the children of the world than to start at home.” Kiwanis Backpack Project Night will run from 5-8 p.m. at McDonald’s on West First Street. During that threehour span, Kiwanis members will be on hand to assist with serving customers and provide additional information on the project. In addition, McDonald’s will be donating 20 percent of its gross sales during that time frame to the project. The funds will be used by the Kiwanis Club to purchase backpacks and fill them with school supplies before distributing them to Deaf Smith County elementary students as needed prior to the upcoming school year. “We like helping communities,” McDonald’s area supervisor Wes
Gaffney said about the company’s partnership. “Something like this is a great way to do for the communities in which we are a part.” On top of the 20 percent of gross sales, the local McDonald’s will also donate $1 for every order placed with its mobile app during the three hours. Gaffney added McDonald’s will also be baking up a slew of apple pies that are being donated to Kiwanis. The club will selling them for $3 each with all the proceeds going to the Kiwanis Backpack for Kids Project. “[McDonald’s] has been really awesome in helping with this project,” Gonzalez said. She added the overall funding goal for the Backpack for Kids effort is $4,000 and monetary donations will be accepted Tuesday and any time. Since becoming part of the project in 2016, Kiwanis has delivered backpacks to all Hereford Independent School District (HISD) elementary schools – Aikman, Bluebonnet, Northwest, Tierra Blanca and West Center – as well as St. Anthony’s Catholic School. The inaugural effort in 2016 saw 75 backpacks distributed, while that number nearly tripled to 200 for 2017. “We want to break 200 this year,” Gonzalez said. “We want to increase the number we are able to give out every year.”

Kiwanis to get jump on next school year
Herd head baseball coach in as many years. “No consistency in coaching can be deadly,” Moore said. “Your first year you’re trying to figure out is needed. Then you need time to implement it. No consistency can hurt a program. “We have to figure out what it takes to and how to win here.” In addition to the consistency issue, there were more pressing problems to deal with when Moore became coach. He made a marked impact on that front during his inaugural season when he dramatically turned around the mindset and attitude on the team. Therein lies one of the positives to come out of a disappointing season. “Our culture is really good,” Moore said. “During this season, our seniors and juniors never once gave up. They all played hard in every game with great effort and attitude. “A trust had developed between the players and coaches. We now have to figure out how to fix things to get wins. We made progress this season. We just ran out of time.” Although they spent most of the season looking up from the lower side of a widening record and the short end of finals, the Whitefaces took several noticeable steps forward down the season’s stretch. They were more competitive during the final weeks of the season with significant upticks in pitching and fielding. However, the Herd struggled offensively in dealing with a combination of holes in the order from graduation and a pair of junior starters – who were two of the team’s better

La Cruz kept pace with the winners before finishing second at 153 (79-74). The other first-round co-leading tandem – Art Martinez and Jose Sanchez – carded a 77 in the final round to take third at 156 (79-77). A Sunday surge turned the trick for Thom Clark and Sonny Nikkel in the Third Flight as they overcame a two-shot deficit to win the flight by two at 169 (87-82). One of three first-round co-leaders at 85, Sammy Ruiz and Martin Fonesca came in second at 171 (8586), while the other two came tied for third as the tandems of Ramon MurilloFefe Ruiz and Cody RoarkBubba Whitten each shot identical 85-87s for finish at 172.
hitters – to a respective season-ending injury and problem with grades. For the season, the Whitefaces hit just .235 with 41 of their 141 total hits going for extra bases – 33 doubles, 5 triples, 3 home runs. The losses of Carson Altman to an arm injury and Jake Kelso to academic woes left holes in the lineup and field, but did allow the next generation of Whitefaces to gain varsity experience. Youngsters taking the step up to varsity during the season and seeing playing time included sophomore Aden Suarez
and freshmen Neftali Nevarez, Josiah Pena and Oscar Guerra. The cupboard of returning talent will not be bare in 2019 as the Whitefaces will welcome back leading hitter Shawn Escamilla (.368), Mitchell Carnahan, Christian Mendez, Dodge DeLozier and D.J. Ellis to anchor the lineup. “The future is extremely bright,” Moore said. “We have baseball players coming up. There is a difference between kids who play baseball and baseball players. “That’s huge for us moving forward.” Becoming a fixture in the lineup, junior Christian Mendez split time between second base and shortstop this season.
