Proudly Serving The High Plains Since 1901
A three-month investigation reached the first step to a successful conclusion this week when an Amarillo was indicted on theft of livestock charges by a Deaf Smith County grand jury. The grand jury decided Wednesday there was sufficient evidence to indict 43-year-old Walter Max Madsen, of Amarillo, for theft of
livestock – a third-degree felony. The indictment and previous arrest of Madsen was the result of investigation by Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) special rangers and investigators from the Deaf Smith County District Attorney’s office. According to reports,
MADSEN
TSCRA special ranger Harold Dempsey, who led the investigation, was contacted in February by a cattle company in Chandler, Ariz., concerning a December sale. TSCRA reports showed the company bought 39 head at a nearby auction and arranged for their transport to a processor in
San Angelo. The employee said the truck driver, Madsen, actually delivered the cattle to Caviness Beef Packers in Hereford, where he sold them under his name for more than $23,000. Evidence obtained from the victim, auction market and packing plant through investigation corPLEASE SEE RUSTLER | 4

As final loose ends are being tied up, Hereford Independent School District (HISD) is bringing to a close what has been a bit of a different type school year than normal. Whereas school systems are predominantly focused on instruction and education of students, HISD had more than that on its plate for 2017-18. Facing district officials throughout the year was a parallel effort to navigate a tricky administrative waters in addition to academics. The result was a school year that had its bright spots and shadows, but as a whole, received a thumbs up. “Finishing my first full BLANKENSHIP [school] year as superintendent, HISD had a great year,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “We are Hereford proud.” Joining many of its rural counterparts around the state, HISD waged a veritable ongoing battle with funding. From a statistical standpoint, HISD took a small step back academically in 201718 as nine of the district’s 10 campuses earned at least met-standard ratings on STAAR and Texas Education Agency (TEA) accountability assessment. This came after the district has snapped a 10-year drought in 2017 when all its campuses met standard. Adamant to not assess the school year in terms of good and bad, Blankenship said HISD opts to “see things through a lens of PLEASE SEE HISD | 5

On a day that officials found most fitting, a pair of Hereford High School (HHS) entities were honored for their patriotism Wednesday. Both the HHS U.S. Marine Corps JROTC and Whiteface wrestling team were recognized and thanked for taking part in May’s Run for the Fallen. The annual cross-country run focuses on remembering those in areas it traverses who have made the ultimate sacrifice while combating the terrorism since the 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole. The run passed through Hereford and Deaf Smith County as part of its 6,000-mile, 2018 journey that ends Aug. 5 at Arlington National Cemetery. When Run for the Fallen team members entered Deaf Smith County on May 17, they were joined by a contingent of HHS Marine JROTC cadets for the 9.2 mile jaunt into Hereford.

Milford Grisham, 89, former pastor and missionary, passed through the gates of Heaven to meet his blessed Savior on June 4, 2018, in Amarillo. A family visitation was scheduled for Friday, June 8 from 5-7 p.m. at the funeral home. A celebration of life service is scheduled for Saturday, June 9, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., at New Life Restoration Center, 1508 Whittier, with Pastors Raul Valdez, son-in-law, and Chris Valdez, grandson, officiating. Burial will follow in Rest Lawn Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Parkside Chapel Funeral Home, 601 Main St., Hereford, Texas. Milford Ray Grisham was born Oct. 23, 1929 in Memphis to A.G. and Lillie (Gunn) Grisham. He grew up on the farm and was used to hard work, but many times he would be found with his head stuck in a book. This got him into trouble with his dad a few times, but it created a deep sense of responsibility and dedication
that continued until his last days. After graduating from Lytel High School in Lytel, he went on to study at Wayland Baptist College, where he received his bachelor’s of arts and was salutatorian of the Class of 1952. While at college, during his last year there, he not only ran the college’s print shop, but he also filled in as Greek and Hebrew teacher due to the fact that the teacher passed away and there was no other teacher to take his place. In 1952, he was in the top list of Who’s Who in American Colleges. Not too long after he graduated, Milford married his college sweetheart, Avis Culp, on June 7, 1953 in Hereford. This month they would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Later that year, they moved to Portland, Ore., to attend Wings of Healing Bible School where Rebecca Rhea, their first child, was born. In 1954, they were on their way to Agogo, Gold Coast, (Ghana), Africa, as missionaries where six months before coming home on furlough their second child, Rachael Ann, was born. His wife and daughters were the light of his life. In 1956, they returned to the United States, where they lived in Hereford for a period before moving back to Portland and then to Seattle, Wash. They lived there several years and during this time they both felt the call to go to Argentina as nondenominational missionaries. As a family, they left for Argentina in 1961 and ministered there for over 30 years. Milford
started the first offset print shop in Santa Fe. He was a printer by trade and a “jack of all trades.” He was a tireless worker along with his wife, Avis. Their home was an open door to all, many coming in to live for a period of time until they got their lives straightened out, found a job, got married, etc. He is always remembered in Argentina, and elsewhere, for being a humble man, that with few words, left deep spiritual impressions on those who heard him. In the late 1990s, they returned to the United States, but they did not retire. They were pastors of Christian Assembly Church until October 2017. They actually did retire then after almost 57 years in the service of their beloved Savior. Milford was preceded

Many times today we hear people say, “Jesus and I have a personal relationship and we have my salvation worked out .” What does that mean? Can we each individually work out our own salvation as we please? Does it matter what is taught in the scriptures or were those commandments just appropriate for Christians 2000 years ago? Such an important decision should be considered by looking at what God has always expected of His followers. Over the next few weeks, we will look at scriptures that tell us what God’s expectations have always been for His followers. We can see from the beginning of God’s creation of man that He has always had a Path for man to follow. Gen. 2:17 God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In Ch. 3:4 the serpent added one word “not” that changed God’s command and led to sin in the sight of God. Exodus 32 once again the Israelites turned from God’s commands. In vs. 8 God said “They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them”, not many ways, but the one way which God commanded. Later in vs. 33 we read “The Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.” In the book of Numbers 14 once again the children of Israel doubted God’s way (command) which led to His response vs. 27 “How long shall I bear this evil congregation who are grumbling against Me?” Vs.29 “your corpses will fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered men, according to your complete number from 20 years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me.” Again in Numbers 21: 4-9 we have another account of the people speaking against God, and His response. In Isaiah 44:6 God declared, ‘’Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me.” Later in I Sam. 8: 7, we see that they rejected God as their king and vs. 9, 10 we see that they wanted to be like all the other nations. God granted them their wish and King David was the first King of Israel. After David’s death, his son Solomon became King. His prayer to God was to have wisdom and understanding to judge the people of God (I Kings 3:79). This was pleasing to God and we read His response, (I Kings 9:4-9). In ch. 11:1-6 we again see that Solomon turned from God’s path and sinned against God-vs.6-” Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not follow the Lord fully, as David his father had done.” God has always been very clear about His plan or path for man to take. Next week we will look only at God’s word and continue to follow this one path that God has laid out for mankind.

RUN: FROM PAGE 1
Once in town, a recognition ceremony took place at VFW Post 4818 in Hereford before the run continued its final 13.2 miles for the day to Dawn. On the final segment from the VFW to Dawn, Whiteface wrestlers braved railroad crossings and U.S. 60 traffic to take part. Both groups were honored Wednesday in a special ceremony at VFW park. In addition to certificates that cited their “outstanding support” and “patriotic participation” in the event, Texas Run for the Fallen and America Celebrate Honor Serve made a $250 donation to each group. For America Celebrate Honor Serve president Jack Barnes – a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer – the presentation was most appropriate because of the opportunity it presented and historical significance – Wednesday was the 74th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II. “It is important to recognize young people for these things they do,” Barnes said. “It is important to use opportunities like this to educate the next generation about service and sacrifice. These young people are the next generations of leaders.
accomplishments and opportunities for growth.” Among the academic highlights from the past year she cited were implementation of a balanced literacy program from kindergarten through second grade. Also implemented was response to intervention (RTI) programs at elementary schools, Hereford Junior High School and Hereford High School that allows academic growth through remediation and acceleration. “HISD students experienced many celebrations in UIL academics and athletics activities, as well as individual growth,” Blankenship said. “We are always encouraging out students to be the very best they can be and to stretch themselves beyond what they believe possible.” She also noted two HISD robotic teams that advanced to state competition and the district’s first graduate to simultaneously earn an associate’s degree from Amarillo College, as well as the numerous HHS seniors who sign athletic, academic and/or technical scholarships to attend college. Trickier to navigate
were the administrative waters, where district officials had to confront ongoing facility issues in the wake of two failed bond issues since 2015. The most-pressing facility concerns were addressed when trustees approved $4 million for the renovation of Tierra Blanca Elementary School (TBES). Permanently closed at the end of the school year, TBES will undergo a year-long transformation before reopening to start the 2019-20 school year as HISD’s new home for pre-K and Head Start programs – at which time the 92-year-old Stanton Learning Center will be closed an active HISD campus. The move addressed the two district’s two most pressing facility concerns – TBES and Stanton – but cut HISD’s elementary schools from five to four with former TBES students being dispersed between West Central and Bluebonnet elementaries. “Change is difficult,” Blankenship said. “With that being said, change is necessary. Making the recommendation to close Tierra Blanca was personally difficult as that was where I started my administrative journey, but it was necessary to care
for the needs of all our students. Revisions of maintenance schedules, as well as long-range facility planning, are also underway to provide and improve facilities. One of the accomplishments Blankenship cited for the year was something many would not consider such – a districtwide lockdown as the result of an online threat. The February incident, which led to the arrest of a HHS student, allowed the district to evaluate its preparedness, response and procedures to such events. The recently ended school year was effectively just the first act of what Blankenship sees as an ongoing process to make education and schools better in HISD. “Facility improvements continued to be a need,” she said. “Communication is something we continually work to improve, and parental involvement is something we would like to improve.” The latter received a boost this year when Blankenship instituted a Hereford Proud Ambassadors program that provides training and information for parents to become advocates for HISD in the community.
HISD hosts summer food program HHS U.S. Marine Corps JROTC cadets ran alongside Run for the Fallen team members for the 9.2 miles from the Deaf Smith County line to VFW Post 4818 in Hereford. BRAND/John Carson “Freedom is not free. The flag must be defended every day. Things like this let the next generation know their turn is coming to defend it.” Whiteface wrestling coach Rachael Gutierrez accepted on behalf of both groups when HHS JROTC commander Maj. Johnny Journey was unable to attend.

Lady Herd Softball Camp beats heat
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Dodging triple-digit temperatures like a runner caught in a rundown, the Lady Herd Softball Camp proved to be another this week. “Overall, camp went great,” Lady Whiteface diamond coach and camp director Ashley Marquez said. “We were able to break down skills for fielding both outfield and infield, pitching, catching and hitting.” With assistant Lady Herd coaches, current and former players lending a hand, the four-day camp was divided into separate ongoing drills through which campers rotated. Although designed for a morning session for incoming third-sixth graders and a separate afternoon session for incoming seventh-ninth graders, the camp amended it schedule due to afternoon temperatures that crested 100 degrees on the Hereford High softball field. As done last year when extreme heat posed a problem, camp sessions were combined into a single morning gathering. “Weather didn’t affect camp too much,” Marquez
Riley De La Cruz, 12, fields a short hop in center as part of fielding drills during the Lady Herd Softball Camp. BRAND/John Carson
Keeping it in the family, current Lady Whiteface Nayryah Hayes, right, puts up some batting practice tosses for 10-year-sister Ashlynn during Thursday’s camp session. BRAND/John Carson said. “After the first day, we made the decision to combine the two sessions due to high afternoon temperatures. “It really didn’t impact much on the instruction. We
kept the older and younger girls divided to ensure we were able to do more advanced drills with the older ones, while still have effective drills to help the younger ones fundamentally.”
Therein was the biggest boost to come out of the camp. Despite dealing with the heat, the sessions provided an across-the-board look at what competitive softball is
like. “The positive to come out of camp was they got a small taste of basic fundamental skills that even the high schools do in days leading up to the season and during the season,” Marquez said. “With all the help we had, we were able to have small groups at times to really help these athletes become better.” Among those joining Marquez and assistant coaches as camp instructors were recently graduated 2018 AllDistrict 3-5A catcher Haylie Valdez, as well as current Lady Whitefaces Kaelynn Vallejo, C.J. Ruiz, Nayryah Hayes, Danielle Pena and Kayla Vallejo. “Over the five years I have been in Hereford, camp attendance continues to grow, which is a big positive for the softball program. “It is great to see more and more young ladies take an interest in softball.”
