County tables action on bids

WHAT'S INSIDE

HPD, DSCSO arrests and reports Page 3

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Johnny Journey said. “They all play a large part in the commitment to community and making the world a better place.

“We stress community service so the kids will think bigger than themselves and look at the larger picture of their world. We want them to think about the community and ways to help make it better.”

Literally practicing what they preach, the local JROTC is one of the largest service organizations in Her-

Although bids were officially opened, there was no requirement they be acted upon, and the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court did just that during Monday’s regular meeting.

With four bids received on software for Deaf Smith County’s Sheriff’s Office (DSCSO), Sheriff J. Dale Butler requested action on accepting a bid be tabled until further study of the bid offers.

The software, which is being partially paid for with state grant funds, is designed to enhance and streamline new computer systems within DSCSO. The bids ranged from a low of $120,000 from I Docket of Amarillo to a high of $182,004.50 from Smarttop RFP. The other two were from Southern Software Inc., of Southern Pines, N.C., for $139,376 and E Force for $125,112.02.

After the bids were opened, Butler left the meeting to closer peruse the offers before returning several minutes after the agenda had been completed to request awarding be tabled.

He told commissioners they wanted a closer look at the details of the I Docket and E Force bids before making a final decision.

“We need more comparison time on them,” he said. “We need to do more apples-to-apples comparisons on what

JROTC more than PT, uniforms

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The core values of the U.S. States Marine Corps are honor, courage and commitment.

The first thought that comes to the minds of most is how those play out in times of conflict and on the battlefield. There are few who can fail to see those illuminated in the 200-plus year history of the Corps.

However, those values have arguably a more important meaning beyond the battlefield – in the everyday

lives of those who choose to live by them.

For the Hereford High School (HHS) U.S. Marine Corps JROTC, those core values have three more added to it – leadership, citizenship and character – which, when considered, are only definitions of the core values.

HHS JROTC cadets put those values front and center throughout the year – often in ways not realized and sometimes not even recognized.

“Leadership, citizenship and character all play into the community,” HHS Senior Marine Instructor Maj.

Church event shines brighter spotlight on dads

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

There is no doubt the third Sunday in June puts the spotlight squarely on fathers.

Since the first 1908 traditional American celebration of a Father’s Day in West Virginia after a mining accident resulted in the deaths of 362 men to the first official celebration of an American Father’s Day in Spokane, Wash., in 1910 to official inclusion as a national holiday in 1972, the day has been one to thank and remember fathers for what they do.

This year, there are hopes of a new tradition taking hold as Nazarene Family Church will host Dad Fest on Sunday to celebrate all the community’s fathers.

“I read some statistics that show 9-of-10 fathers who attend church will not have their children remain attending church,” Naza-

rene Family Church pastor Ted Taylor said. “Because of that, I felt compelled to reach the men and fathers in our area.

“I had a vision of this about 16 months ago and have been working ever since to bring it about. It has gone over 100 times better than I had thought.”

The day will have just about everything a dad would like – cars, motorcycles, food, games and fun.

Anchoring Dad Fest is a car and motorcycle show that will feature a caravan to Nazarene Family Church at 10:30 a.m., with the more than 100 vehicles Taylor said were already registered.

From there, Taylor will conduct an outdoor service at 11 a.m., with special musical guest Greg McDougal of Nashville, Tenn., and Hereford motivational speaker Virgil Slentz, who PLEASE SEE DADFEST | 10

A day of food, fun, games and celebration of fathers is on tap Sunday at Nazarene Family Church’s inaugural Dad Fest starting at 10:30 a.m.

Police Blotter

FROM PAGE 1

eford, Deaf Smith County and the region.

For the 2016-17 school year, HHS Marine cadets logged 1,644 community services hours – which Journey admitted was short of the actual total – in a variety of endeavors.

There are the obviously visible times when serving as color guards for athletic and other school events or in parades or for funeral services.

Then there are those that often go unnoticed by the public at large – such as bell ringing for the Salvation Army’s annual holiday Red Kettle Drive, taking a lead role in the area’s Christmas Toys for Tots campaign – which is an annual sponsorship of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve – and performing ongoing assistance for Hereford Food Pantry, as well as helping out a number of additional community events sponsored by other entities, where they assist with everything from set up to maintaining the event and cleaning up.

While the color guard has been featured in events from Dimmitt and Farwell and beyond, it is those closer to home that drive the overall message home to cadets.

The past Christmas, cadets collected and distributed more than 300 toys locally for Toys for Tots and raised more than $5,400 ringing bells for the Salvation Army.

Arrests Hereford Police Department June 9 Joseph Nathaniel Perez, 18, arrested for possession of marijuana.

Mark Allen Halladay, 35, arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

David Antonio Silva, 48, arrested for a second-or-more offense of driving while license suspended.

Juan Carlos Medina, 27, arrested for no driver’s license and possession of drug paraphernalia.

HHS JROTC cadets took part in a 5-mile march in early spring carrying backpacks loaded with food for donation to Hereford Food Pantry.

BRAND/John Carson They take an active part in the annual VFW Auxiliary’s Poppies Campaign at Veteran’s Day – going from business-to-business in Hereford distributing the iconic pins and soliciting donations.

Cadets have also become a growing part of assistance to Hereford Food Pantry – not only conducting a 5-mile march carrying backpacks loaded with food for donation, but also helping with sorting the more than 6,800 pounds of food items collected during the recent U.S. Postal Service’s carrier food drive.

In addition, Journey said cadets are encouraged to get involved in other school organizations – where they are part of athletic teams, band, choir and student council – as well as their respective churches.

Admitting that some of the cadets need a bit of prodding to take part in community-service projects, Journey was quick to add that most “thrive” in it and is something they enjoy.

In the end, it is all part of a desire to open cadets’ eyes to how they can fit into their own worlds.

“We really try to encourage the community service not just because they are a cadet, but what it can do in life,” Journey said.

“We want to make it a life habit. They can see the depth of the need within their own community and how it helps their overall community. Kids see they are not insignificant, and that they can make a difference.

“As we try to teach, if you are not making a difference in your community, you have no right to complain. We should all try to make our community better.”

June 10 Jorge Campos, 30, arrested for possession or delivery of a controlled substance and possession or deliver of drug paraphernalia.

Heriberto Estrada, 32, arrested for no driver’s license.

OPINION

Paper Matters

My morning needs are basic: Prayers, a caffeine-rich cup of hot tea and the daily newspaper (not in Adobe file format, but the rustling, folded variety.) The lack of any one of this holy trinity does not portend well for the ensuing workday, although sometimes the alarming headlines require a repeat of Steps 1 and 2.

Newspapers are an established part of the morning routine for many of us perhaps because they’re tangible proof that the world’s still spinning and our particular photo isn’t featured on the obituary page. It can also help a person gird oneself for the prevailing issues ahead, in addition to the weather forecast, horoscope and advice from Dear Abby.

When time allows (on a good hair day), there’s the added indulgence of perusing the comics.

ALL IN The survival of homeKerrie Womble Steiert town newspapers is not only a local issue, but a world-wide challenge as print media struggles to retain its footing in the digital, online era. The Hereford Brand, like most papers, precariously straddles itself between both worlds by releasing bi-weekly editions from local newsstands and its subscribers’ website. Gone are the days of paperboys delivering rolled-up copies to your front lawn.

Larger area papers, like the Amarillo Globe News and the Lubbock AJ, are not as threatened by extinction as smaller rural publications. Although the day may inevitably arrive when all newspapers go the way of many news magazines that have abandoned printing and switched to digital-only formats. For folks like me, it just won’t be the same.

Newspapers depend on ad sales, more than subscriptions, as their main source of revenue. Unfortunately, advertisers expect to pay less for digital ads than the “display” ads appearing in print. Traditionally, ad sales determine the size of the paper, the number of pages in each printed edition. Advertising income can fall off when the quality of editorial content and news coverage do not meet the expectations of readers.

Rural papers face chicken-and-egg quandary in order to stay viable: Advertisers want readers who want local news stories which need space on pages sold to advertisers. It’s difficult to decide which segment of a deteriorating cycle to address first.

The bond between a local paper and the community it serves can suffer from the same pitfalls that can plague all relationships. Growing stale. Failed expectations.

Long-distance misunderstandings. Disappointment. Differing agendas. Changing priorities.

However, hometown papers enjoy a unique, critical aspect that makes their survival absolutely necessary. Local radio and print media share specific obligations to cover the stories that pertain directly to Hereford and Deaf Smith County. This exclusive role in the community provides job security for Brand employees while fulfilling a vital service that is singular in its commitment to our city.

Staffing a small-town paper is no easy task. The hours are rough because many activities that deserve news coverage— government meetings, sporting events, feature interviews—occur on weekends or after dark. The search for individuals who possess the necessary writing skills and grasp the fundamentals of journalism is hampered by a lack of qualified applicants. In addition, writers must have a solid understanding of the community, its values and history. “Hired guns” from metro areas or foreign countries— like California—rarely last.

For more than 100 years, The Brand has recorded the story of Hereford and her people. On pages much like this one, through trials and travails, triumphs and tragedies, the mundane and profane individuals of Deaf Smith County have been profiled in local newsprint spanning almost twelve decades. These priceless archives of history are a remarkable legacy.

But there may be some who doubt the continuing relevance of a local newspaper when the world is literally within reach of your smartphone.

The internet offers certain local news items, such as obituaries, and governing entities may post the minutes of meetings.

Social networking keeps us caught up on who’s in the hospital, traveling, engaged/ married and born. But beyond those posted updates, the process rapidly gets murky. When relying on the World Wide Web for news, the hazard is a pervasive lack of accountability and clarity of purpose on a staggering number of platforms.

Despite its far-reaching benefits, the internet can be exploited as a perfect instrument for spreading propaganda.

When they get it right, rural papers are in contract with the community to tell the truth, raise social awareness, serve as an objective voice and reflect the genuine identity of a local area. Ideally, small newspapers are bound by the same journalism ethics as The Wall Street Journal.

For Hereford, it is the The Brand’s enduring mission to chronicle who we are, how we got here and where we’re bound.

AUSTIN ¬– Gov. Greg Abbott on June 6 announced a special session of the Texas Legislature to begin on July 18 to address issues that went unresolved during the contentious 140-day regular session that ended May 29.

Abbott explained why he thinks it necessary to order lawmakers back to Austin.

“Considering all the successes of the 85th legislative session, we should not be where we are today,” he said.

“A special session was entirely avoidable, and there was plenty of time for the legislature to forge compromises to avoid the time and taxpayer expense of a special session.

“As governor, if I am going to call a special session, I intend to make it count.”

Special session agenda items STATE Abbott named for lawmakers to CAPITAL address will begin with sunset legislation – bills on the continu- HIGHLIGHTS ation or abolishment of certain Ed Sterling state agencies, including the Texas Medical Board.

Once the sunset legislation meets the governor’s expectations, he said, the rest of the items on lawmakers’ to-do list would be as follows: - Teacher pay increase of $1,000; - Administrative flexibility in teacher hiring and retention practices; - School finance reform commission; - School choice for special needs students; - Property tax reform; - Caps on state and local spending; - Preventing cities from regulating what property owners do with trees on private land; - Preventing local governments from changing rules midway through construction projects; - Speeding up local government permitting process; and - Municipal annexation reform.

Also: - Texting while driving preemption; - Privacy; - Prohibition of taxpayer dollars to collect union dues; - Prohibition of taxpayer funding for abortion providers; - Pro-life insurance reform; - Strengthening abortion-reporting requirements when health complications arise; - Strengthening patient protections relating to do-not-resuscitate orders; - Cracking down on mail-in ballot fraud; and - Extending maternal mortality task force.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the Senate, reacted to the governor’s announcement with a Twitter social media posting: “The people of Texas have a right to expect that we will finish the job on these critical issues.”

House Speaker Joe Straus did not react, but during the regular session he and Patrick disagreed over the so-called “bathroom bill” addressing the treatment of transgender students and property tax reform. Both items are on the special session call, with the bathroom bill referred to as “privacy.”

Paxton applauds decision Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on June 6 announced his support of the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to give states more time to comply with the National Ambient Air Quality Standard, an ozone regulation issued in 2015. Texas has a pending lawsuit contesting the rule.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt sent a letter to governors informing them that the Clean Air Act enforcing federal agency is extending the deadline for promulgating initial area designations for the standards by one year.

Since 1980, wrote Pruitt, total emissions of the six principal air pollutants have dropped by 63 percent and ozone levels have declined by 33 percent.

Despite the continued improvement of air quality, costs associated with compliance of the ozone NAAQS have significantly increased.

“Texas has continually reduced ambient ozone concentrations in the state without stifling the growth of Texas’s industry or population, and looks forward to continuing efforts to improve air quality while bolstering the Texas economy,” Paxton said.

Hegar distributes revenue Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar on June 7 announced his office would send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $640 million in local sales tax allocations for June, an amount 3.6 percent more than in June 2016.

Allocations are based on sales made in April by businesses that report tax monthly.

The cities of Round Rock, Frisco, San Antonio, Midland and Odessa saw noticeable increases in sales tax allocations, Hegar said. The cities of Houston and Austin saw small decreases, he added.

Hurricane readiness begins Hurricane season began June 1 and continues through Nov. 30.

The Texas Division of Emergency Management on June 5 brought together personnel from more than two dozen state and federal agencies at the Texas State Operations Center in Austin for a weeklong hurricane exercise.

Dubbed Hurricane Charlie, the exercise was conducted “to bolster our preparedness efforts for this year’s hurricane season,” said Nim Kidd, chief of the division. “Early preparation is critical to saving lives when a hurricane or severe weather occurs, so we are asking the public to do just that — get ready now.”

Solving, perfecting the beef palatability puzzle

By Jeff Savell Texas A&M AgriLife Extension

Research suggests that a 25-year effort by the beef industry to improve beef palatability is on the right path. As we look at the evidence, we see that beef in the 21st century is different from the product in the 1990s, and in some very positive ways. In terms of tenderness, in fact, we might have found the sweet spot – or at least part of it.

The checkoff-funded 2015-16 National Beef Tenderness Survey found that tenderness goals the industry sought a quarter of a century ago have generally been achieved. Most steaks in the 2015-16 survey were considered tender. And overall, tenderness levels have remained steady since the 2005-06 survey, despite challenges presented by drought, fluctuating supply, input costs and the Great Recession.

To be sure, the industry can be proud that the tremendous improvements made in the 1990s and early 2000s – a 20 percent overall improvement in tenderness from 1990-99, and another 18 percent improvement from 2000-05 – have been maintained. In our 2015-16 survey, all retail cuts rated higher than they did in our 2010-11 survey for the overall “like” or “dislike” attribute (Figure 1).

The significance of the findings for the beef industry is not minor. While tenderness isn’t the only factor in palatability (juiciness and flavor also play roles), it is often considered the most important economic factor.

Consumers have shown a willingness to pay a premium for guaranteed tender beef products.

Tenderness improvements, as identified with both trained sensory panels and Warner Bratzler shear force tests (Figure 2) resulted from a number of industry efforts. First and foremost, increased aging times demonstrated that

processors were putting more focus on this important product trait.

In addition, longer, more gradual chilling procedures in processing helped reduce toughness problems associated with cold shortening or cold toughening. There were fewer “no-roll” steaks, which didn’t have a grade designation, with more steaks grading high Choice and Prime.

Those raising beef animals were also involved, although to achieve improvements, their investment in tenderness required more time and sometimes a more complicated and painstaking process. With their knowledge that a quality animal will result in quality products, cattle producers have focused on tenderness genes and breeding practices.

In addition, they are using feeding systems that enhance product quality, judiciously applying growth enhancement technologies.

Finally, they are adhering to best management practices to avoid quality and tenderness problems associated with stress, especially in the administration of animal health products.

Improvements in tenderness ratings have followed very closely the increased

attention to producing more cattle at Choice grade or higher. Choice and Prime carcasses now account for almost 80 percent of total carcass grades, whereas they accounted for 62 percent when we did the 1995 National Beef Quality Audit.

While the amount of Prime

beef has increased slightly in the last 20 years, the amount of Choice beef has surged tremendously.

This focus on quality speaks volumes for the industry’s consumer focus.

Work done to address issues revealed in periodic National Beef Quality Audits (NBQA), through the beef checkoff program and through ongoing efforts by individual beef producers, companies and organizations, is especially significant in building a more solid foundation for beef demand.

Still, there is room for improvements in both the tenderness and overall palatability arenas. They include: Tenderness of the round.

Obviously, different beef muscles demonstrate different tenderness properties. Throughout our research, the beef round has been a muscle of concern.

The industry focus for this cut should be two-pronged: consistent and optimal aging practices that take into account the specific properties of this cut, as well as enhanced consumer education to assure that proper cooking methods are used to prepare it.

Cooking education. Increasingly – and discouragingly – consumers know less and less about how to prepare beef adequately to maximize tenderness. While unfortunate, this situation is not unique, nor is the problem insurmountable.

The industry must continue to provide preparation information to consumers in the formats and communications channels – digital, social media and others – they use, at the times they

need it.

Enhancing beef flavor.

Consumers love the flavor of beef, but not all consumers have the same tastes.

With tenderness goals generally achieved, the industry can dedicate more focus on beef flavor development;.

Continued focus on optimal aging. With the round and other cuts, it makes sense to encourage consistent, well-designed aging plans for those in a position to institute them.

Paying attention to NBQA. Research in the most recent NBQA has been completed, and the results will be presented at the 2017 Cattle Industry Summer Meeting in Denver. Producers, packers, transporters, marketers and others in the industry have paid increasing attention to results from these audits over the years, and incorporated suggestions from that research into their operations. It would not be a good idea to start ignoring the data.

A single carcass can yield about 300 steaks or roasts.

That means 300 potentially positive — or potentially negative — eating experiences every time we raise, harvest, fabricate and market an animal. It makes sense for the beef industry to maximize each eating experience in every way, to benefit both our customers and the producers responsible for bringing beef to the table.

The wonders of those “Wonder Labradors”

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

We received a photo of our grandson in an email from our daughter over the weekend—sort of a start of summer shot. There was one-year old Gaelen, sprawled in the plastic backyard wading pool—and right there in the water with him was his “nanny” of a yellow Labrador, Maggie, enjoying the cool wetness with her “pup.”

Maggie has been known to accompany her other “pup,” Olivia, who is now seven years old, to spray parks, into wading pools, and on various walkabout adventures, as well as to taste test most everything those kids eat.

Back in 2009, only about six weeks after she was born, I penned a letter to Olivia, planning some of the great times we’d look forward to sharing. Among the things I told her was that her Mom and Dad made a wise choice before she was born—so that there was a lovely, good-hearted yellow Labrador Retriever there to kiss her when she came home. I told her that she would be doing some growing up with Maggie’s help in learning about stuff like playing ball, getting mutually soused in the play pool, rolling and wrestling with a four-legged companion—just all kinds

of kid stuff. My word to her then still holds now— dogs just don’t come any better than a good old Lab. Gaelen is fortunate to be learning the same.

We have had the good fortune through some years to have been raised by a succession of Labrador retrievers. I admit, right up front, that I am no great dog trainer, but the three we have had at our house, and Maggie at our daughter’s home, have managed to come to reasonably amenable living terms with us and have enriched our lives accordingly. All have proved working dogs— capably handling hunting duties in the pheasant fields, domestic life—and working their owners for such things as an extra jerky treat or peanut butter goody on occasion with little more than a big-eyed look and cock of the head.

Along with those at our house or downstate with the grandkids, I have hunted in company with a long line of fine Labradors across at least a couple decades--black, chocolate, and yellow, all workmanlike in the field, all a delight to be around.

I have talked with any number of people who have pronounced Labradors great dogs to keep company with. So great, in fact, that they are rated America’s most popular breed for performing

MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY--Labrador Retrievers make great hunting companions, no doubt. Sometimes kids are lucky enough to discover that dogs just don’t come any better than a good old Lab. Such has been the case for Olivia McGlothlin, who, following her birth, was literally greeted at the door by yellow Lab Maggie upon being brought home from the hospital.

The two have shared all kinds of fund and adventure.

Photo by Jaime McGlothlin double duty as a friendly companion and useful working dog.

Originally, Labrador Retrievers launched their career as a fisherman’s helper, hauling nets, fetching ropes, and retrieving fish from the chilly North Atlantic, making good use of partially webbed feet and an otter-like tail that steers them through the water. Some guys still make their Labs fishing dogs, welcoming them aboard the family boat on outings to the lake,

or to tag along walking streams.

There is an affinity for getting along with people in Labs that makes them endearing, and eminently practical not only as hunting retrievers, but assistance dogs to the handicapped, and search and rescue dogs, among other jobs.

No doubt it takes early training, but we have noticed an inherent nature in most Labs to be gentle with little ones or those who are older and

unsteady on their feet.

The same rambunctious dog that will romp and stomp and bark profusely in the back yard— drag you asunder if you don’t get them out for a walk on time—and bark excitedly when waves of geese begin arriving in the fall, will turn quiet and tolerant and lie patiently in the den floor when a little one is wooling them about, tugging on most every part of their body, and generally crawling all over them.

How do they know, when it is their nature to leap about and celebrate life, to be still and gentle when a wheelchair patient is lavishing attention on them, or to exude their own therapy upon the soul of an Alzheimer’s patient simply by sitting quietly and relishing the stroking of their ears by unsteady hands, or resting their anvil head on a lap?

As I write this, our brother and sister Labs Blue and Blanca—Maggie’s canine pups, by the way, are sprawled, one in the cool floor, the other on an old couch, in the den, sharing evening “family time,” something we all arrived at by mutual agreement.—Big-eyed Labs can be mighty persuasive. They come in the living room periodically, braving the very border of the “no-go zone,” to lie beside me at the computer—just checking in, should I need inspiration, these literary companions.

Yep, I love Labs, in no small part because of their great hunting drive, desire to please, and family friend status.

They are “wonder dogs.”

Their great hearts and souls keep us wondering.

Church News Fellowship

of

Dawn Baptist

Believers

We hope you’ll begin Sunday, June 18 with us at church, where we will start by “Recognizing Dads on Father’s Day.” Our first hymn will reflect that recognition, as Peggy Mize leads us in “Faith of our Fathers.” Cindy Cassels will provide piano accompaniment for the morning.

Pastor Danny Mize will offer us a reminder during the message: “Don’t Judge by Outward Appearance,” with a related Scripture reading from James 2:1-5. The theme of the message will be borne out as Danny makes two additional points: “Let’s End Prejudice, Judging and Favoritism” and “Stop Judging Each Other! Otherwise, we may need to join FPA.” (You’ll have to be there learn what “FPA” is!)

We will sing two additional hymns related to our theme: “Bind Us Together” and “They’ll Know We Are Christians

by Our Love.”

You can join us for fellowship and refreshments from 10:00 a.m. and stay for the worship service which begins at 10:30 a.m. Communion will be served to all who wish to partake. Fellowship of Believers is located at 245 N. Kingwood. Come join us – or leave a message at 364-0359 if you need more information.

White, Maldonado make Sunday surge to win Mel Charest From Staff Reports

A Sunday push snapped a first-round tie from Saturday as Aaron White and Thomas Maldonado took home the top prize in the Championship Flight of the annual VFW Mel Charest Golf Tournament at John Pitman Golf Course.

The tourney, which annually benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hereford, saw White and Maldonado knotted with the tandem of Keith and Kiel Kitchens after each fired an opening-round 58 on Saturday.

Sunday, White and Maldonado carded a frontnine 28 to take the lead for good and finish with second-round 61 for a two-day total of 119. The Kitchens ended with a 64 Sunday for a 122 total and second place.

Hereford High golf coach and former satellite Tour player Chris Sims teamed with Kayla Bartley to finish third at 124 after back-to-back rounds of 62, while Craig Newman and Steve Russell rounded out the top finishers at 125 (61-64).

Identical rounds of 65-62 forged a tie for the top spot in the First Flight between the duos of Phillip Kahlich-Don Leverett and Billy PopeBraden West at 127.

Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna and Marin Rivas were third at 128 after rounds of 63-65 with Bob and Bobby Baker taking fourth at 130 (65-65).

The Second Flight was teeming with ties – except at the top.

Tommy Latta and Steve Williams bettered

a first-round 69 with a 65 on Sunday to take the flight by two strokes with a 134 total.

Jared White and David Bhakta (70-66) used a second-round 66 to make up a shot and tie for second with Josh Flores and Billy Cantu (69-67) at 136.

A three-way tie for fourth just another shot back at 137 included the teams of Mike Cabbiness and Patty Cabbiness (71-66), Tony Vigil and Ed Johnson (69-68) and Keith Bartley and Gene Batterman (69-68).

The duo of James and J.J. Valdez added a stroke to their firstround lead on Sunday to claim the Third Flight with a two-round total of 142 (74-68).

Two teams shared the flight’s second spot with Carlos Mendez and Carlos Mendez Sr. (75-69) and Bruce Bartels and Chon Rangel (74-70) finishing at 144.

Kip Smith and Don Metcalf came in fourth at 146 (77-69), while Jake and Roger McCracken took the fifth spot at 147 (75-72).

A back-nine edge Sunday proved the difference in the Fourth Flight as Armando and Bryan Torres (79-76-155) were one shot better than Art Martinez and Raymond Gonzales (79-77-156).

Joe Soliz and Feliz Soliz were three-strokes back in third with a 159 (81-78), while Jack and Jean Ann Swanson (7981), and Doug and Dave Charest (79-82) were fourth and fifth, respectively, with 160 and 161 totals.

Hostile Herd coach Don DeLozier begins his post-spring practice sendoff to players following May 15’s annual Maroon-White game at Whiteface Stadium. BRAND/John Carson

Summer important for Herd success

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

When the annual Maroon-White scrimmage ended spring practice on May 15, Hereford coach Don DeLozier called his entire team to the middle of the field at Whiteface Stadium.

The first thing he did was have all his players remove their jerseys and toss them into a pile together at the head of the group.

“We’re no longer Maroon and White,” he said. “We are one team, and we must focus on that to do the things we want to do.”

DeLozier was well on his way to making a point.

While lauding the progress made and success of spring practice, he was quick to add it would be for virtually naught if the next two months slipped away.

He challenged his charges to take up the mantel of continuing the strides made coming off back-to-back 2-8 seasons that included last place and winless finishes in District 3-5A. “We won’t get together as a group like this for more than two months,” DeLozier said. “During that time, it will be up to each of you to decide what you want to do and how you want AugustNovember to play out.

“As you head into summer break, there are two important

things to keep in mind – two Cs. Character and commitment. That will tell the difference between whether we continue moving forward or not.”

He then challenged each team member to make the right decisions during summer break – both off the field and for the future on the field.

At the center of that he tossed down the gauntlet for his Whitefaces to make the most of the numbingly mundane, often thankless and usually boring aspects of summer conditioning and weight training.

“We made improvements in the spring,” DeLozier said. “We worked our tails off to get where we’ve gotten.

“The question is whether we take the easy path or the path to get us back to where we need to be.”

Nearly a month later and with summer workouts midway through their second week, DeLozier has not been disappointed.

With the physical aspects of summer training an obvious, the coach said the biggest overlying aspect of them is commitment – and he has liked what he has seen so far.

“We’re seeing commitment to the group and what we’re trying to do,” DeLozier said. “We tech-

nically can’t take role for who’s there and who’s not, but we all know who is showing up – and that’s important.

“We want to maintain and extend the growth from spring practice. We made tremendous growth as a team between November-May. We want to keep that going.”

Over the summer, players are asked to attend two workout sessions per week during June before that being upped to four in July on an alternating morning and evening schedule set to accommodate the summer plans – whether work or family vacations – for players.

In addition, the Whitefaces are involved in an area 7-on-7 league and have been participating in several 7-on-7 tournaments in the region.

While results of all the work are not a given, DeLozier is certain what not putting the effort in will mean.

“I don’t know if it gives you an advantage as much as it helps you keep up with everybody else,” he said. “There is no guarantee summer work will help.

But I do know, a lack of summer work is not going to help you.”

The Herd opens preseason practice on Monday, Aug. 14 before they host Estacado in the season opener on Sept. 1.

Feteing 90 years

Highlighting the first Dad Fest at Nazarene Family Church will be a car and motorcycle show that already has more than 100 registered to participate.

DADFEST: FROM PAGE 1

Taylor said will issue a challenge to Hereford’s fathers.

After the service, “we fire up the grills,” Taylor said, and the fun begins.

In addition to judging for the car show and prizes awarded, there will be plenty of what the church is touting as “man games” and “man food,” that will include a Pinewood Derby race, golf ball driving with a junker car as a target, a paintball shooting gallery and giveaway of a fire pit.

While Taylor is looking for Dad Fest to become an annual event, the inaugural edition is timed to kick off a special program the

church is sponsoring specifically for men – “What’s at Steak for Men.” “We want to use this as a springboard into our fourpart Bible study on the four problems men struggle with – pornography, money, work and family,” Taylor said. “We’re looking to teach men how to balance their lives and live life for God. “Our church’s goal has always been to reach children and teens, but we have found out that so many of them have problems at home. We want to reach and address those problems.”

“What’s at Steak for Men” will run over a quartet of Mondays beginning June 19 where pornography will

“Both are similar in total and initial costs. There is some difference in maintenance costs. We want to look more into how each will work.”

addressed. Other topics include money on July 3, work on July 10 and family on July 17.

Registration is requested at 806-364-8303 or 806344-2636 for an accurate count on the steak dinner that opens the Bible study.

Sunday’s Dad Fest is entirely without charge and open to all in the community.

Taylor said spots in the car and bike show are still available for a $5 fee – “so we can tell which vehicles are in the show and which aren’t.” Those interested can contact Raymond Guzman at 806-346-1118.

Taylor added that the lone request is dads wear their favorite sports jersey to the event.

Butler did assure commissioners that whichever of the two company’s software was chosen, it would serve the needs of his office.

In other action, commissioners approved a budget amendment to move $30,000 from the county-wide equipment fund to maintenance to cover the expense of plumbing repairs at the Bull Barn.

Paul R. Scott was honored May 13 for an upcoming birthday milestone when his daughters and their spouses – Karen and Scott Young of Little Rock, Ark., Judy and Craig Solomon of Vega and Barbara Scott of Lubbock – hosted a 90th birthday party in the Amarillo home of Seth and Lindsay Solomon. Festivities included photo opportunities, a special DVD presentation of Scott’s life, gifts, cake and homemade ice cream.

Scott has been married almost 64 years to Lois, and in addition to their children, the couple has five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Scott officially turned 90 on June 12. Contributed photo
