Proudly Serving The High Plains Since 1901

Like a fuse burning out before it reaches the end, most hopes for traditional Independence Day celebrations this year fizzled Thursday when Texas Gov. Greg Abbot approved a county ban on fireworks.

Deaf Smith County D.J. Wagner officially proclaimed a declaration of disaster for the county at Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting due to the ongoing drought and fire dangers.

Because “the threat of disaster is imminent,” the declaration also called for a ban on the sale and use of fireworks in Deaf Smith.

Per state law, once commissioners approved the fireworks ban, it was in effect for only 60 hours

(TFS) has assessed the current drought and fire risk conditions I your county, as well as any special circumstances that warrant the grant of an extension,” the letter from Abbot read. “In this case, TFS and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) determined that special circumstances exist due to the high number of fires that recently occurred in Deaf Smith and adjoining counties.

“Consequently, TDEM has recommended that I grant the extension. Based on your ABBOTT assertions, TDEM’s recommendation and my office’s review, your request is hereby granted.”

Balanced Literacy spreading

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A more encompassing way to open the door to improving lifelong skills for students has proven so successful it is spreading through Hereford Independent School District (HISD) like pink eye.

In touting the academic accomplishments of the 2017-18 school year, HISD officials from superintendent Sheri Blankenship down have been touting the results seen in the district’s Balanced Literacy initiative.

Ending its second year as part of district curriculum, the program began in 201617 at the kindergarten level and was extended through second grade for 2017-18.

“It is the main focus among our curriculums,” HISD Director of Curriculum and Learning Ruth Ann Vessels said. “The program brings all facets of literacy skills together through a single application.

“It provides students with the tools needed to read and write effectively.”

In K-second grade, fundamentals are the keynote as individual word study, guided and individual reading, writing and phonemic awareness are part of the curriculum.

It's all in the face Using looks on faces as a reference, there would seem to be impending disaster awaiting a couple of campers as Whiteface coach Catherine Foerster watches during this week's Lady Herd Volleyball Camp at Hereford Junior High. However, looks can be deceiving as the duo on the court were honed in to returing a shot during a practice game between incoming freshmen and incoming eighth-graders during Thursday's afternoon session for older players.

While precipitation has been a much-more frequent visitor in recent weeks, the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court unanimously approved renewal of the county’s ban on outdoor burning.

The item was the first order of new business on the agenda for Tuesday’s regular meeting of the court.

“The ban has been in place for quite a while,” Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner said.

“It is a little early for renewal, but we really need to.

“We’ve had several grass fires recently.

We’ve been fortunate to this point, but we have to remain diligent.”

With commissioners well aware of the ongoing fire dangers, they needed little convincing despite hearing from Hereford Fire Marshal and county emergency management director Dean Turney.

For Turney at the meeting, there was little needed than stating the obvious.

“We’re in bad shape,” he said. “Things have not gotten any better even though there has PLEASE SEE BURN | 3

The state sees the western part of Deaf Smith County as not as bad – drought-wise – as the rest, but the whole county is in bad shape.

Dean Turney DSC Emergency Management Director tion of disaster for the county that includes a ban on the use and sale of fireworks.

The decision was made because weather conditions and lack of moisture have created a “threat of disaster” being “imminent.”

Wagner based the call on consultation with Turney that showed the county qualified for making the declaration because of the drought.

According to state mandates, a county must have a drought index of at least 575 to call a disaster declaration.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Turney reported the western part of the

county was in “severe” drought, while the eastern portion was in “extreme” drought.

The result was a qualifying drought index of 580.

Turney said Thursday that number had increased to 591.

While the burn ban renewal is good for 90 days, Wagner has the authority to lift the ban – temporarily or in full – at his discretion without commission approval.

THE ONE WAY or ONE PATH IV Today we will continue our study about God’s one path for man’s salvation.

There is one hope (Eph. 4:4); What is Christian hope based upon? It is not merely wishful thinking, but confident expectation. Job showed that confidence in Job 13:15 “... I will hope in Him.” David, in Psm. 38:15 said “I will hope in You, O Lord” Paul said in Rom. 15:13, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Heb. 6:13-20 reminds us of God’s promise. Vs. 19-20 says; “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil where Jesus has entered ... “.

There is one Lord (Eph. 4:5); John 14:6, Jesus tells us, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; on one comes to the Father but through Me.” We read in Col. 1: 13-20 that Christ; vs. 13- rescued us from darkness, vs. 14-”in whom we have redemption and forgiveness of sins”, vs. 15,” the image of God”, vs. 16, “by Him all things were created”, vs. 17, “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together”, vs. 18, “He is the head of the body, the church”, vs. 19.

“For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him”, vs. 20 “through Him all things are reconciled.”

There is one faith (Eph. 4:5); In Heb. 11:1, we read; “Faith is the assurance (foundation) of things hoped for, the conviction of things not (yet) seen.” This faith is an active, working faith as seen in the examples in ch. 11. Where does this faith come from? Rom 10:17 says “So faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.” Our faith must be based solely on one thing, an active obedience to the word of God. James 2:17 says; “Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.” From the beginning of time, God has always expected man to show their faith in Him. This faith is based on man’s obedience to God’s commands. I John 2:3 says; “By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.”

Hopefully, you are beginning to see the pattern that God has laid out concerning the one plan He has for mankind. Next week we will continue looking at God’s one plan for man’s salvation.

News WT speech program among the best in nation for 2018

From West Texas A&M

CANYON – The communication disorders program at West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) has been named one of the Top Speech-Language Pathology Masters programs in the nation for 2018 by SpeechPathologyGraduatePrograms. org.

SpeechPathologyGraduatePrograms.org looked at 240 schools from across the United States offering ASHA CAA-accredited master’s programs in speechlanguage pathology and communication disorders to provide helpful information for prospective students searching for quality programs.

Student achievement and cost and affordability were the key features used to narrow the list

down to more than 100 programs. Schools were scored on a 100-point scale to identify the top programs for 2018 with grades ranging from Aplus to B-minus.

WT’s Master of Science program in communication disorders scored an overall total of 87.5 for a B-plus in the 2018 ranking. Broken down, the program’s student achievement score was 57.5 out of a possible 70, and the cost and affordability element scored 30 out of 30. SpeechPathologyGraduatePrograms.org commended the program for catering to different learning styles by offering both the thesis and non-thesis option for students. The WTAMU Speech and Hearing Clinic also was mentioned for the opportunities it provides graduate stu-

dents in hands-on experience.

“I am very proud of our program,” Dr. Brenda Cross, head of the Department of Communication Disorders, said.

“Our faculty work hard to ensure that our students receive a superior academic and clinical education.”

WTAMU is the only Texas school listed in the 23 programs scoring a Bplus, joining such institutions as Ohio University, University of Northern Colorado and California State University-Long Beach, among others.

Other Texas schools making the 2018 ranking included Our Lady of the Lake University (A), Abilene Christian University (A), University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley (B) and University of North Texas (B-minus).

Tip of the Day Is marinating worth the time and effort?

Backyard barbecue enthusiasts typically prefer the taste of grilled foods over meals prepared in other ways. Much of that devotion to grilled foods can be traced to the unique flavor open flames impart to meat, poultry and other items.

Many people try to bolster the flavor of grilled foods even further by marinating items, often for several hours, before putting them on the grill. But chef Chris Schlesinger and editor John Willoughby, coauthors of the book “The Big-Flavor Grill: No-Marinade, No-Hassle Recipes for Delicious Steaks, Chicken, Ribs, Chops, Vegetables, Shrimp, and Fish” (Ten Speed Press), insist that marinating foods is an entirely unnecessary step that may even adversely affect the taste of grilled foods.

Grillmasters who have made marinades part of their grilling routines may be surprised to learn that Schlesinger and Willoughby recommend spice rubs over marinades. Marinating only flavors the surface of the meat, which may surprise marinade devotees who think marinating several hours prior to firing up the grill provides ample time for the flavor of marinades to soak into the meat. Regardless of how far in advance marinades are applied, they’re unlikely to penetrate deep into the interior of the food. Schlesinger and Willoughby note that rubs provide strong, defined flavors. An additional benefit of rubs over marinades is that rubs need not be applied hours in advance of grilling. In fact, rubs applied minutes before foods are placed on the grill will still provide an intense burst of flavor.

Cooks who marinate to tenderize their grilled foods may also be surprised to learn that Schlesinger and Willoughby suggest that this, too, is a waste of time. The authors note that marinades, especially those left on for too long, may make foods taste mushy, a taste that’s vastly different from tender. In lieu of relying on marinade to tenderize meats, cooks can make sure foods are cooked to the appropriate temperature.

Read recipes carefully to learn what the ap-

propriate temperature for a given dish is. If the recipe does not list a temperature, the Food Network offers the following guidelines to cooks who want to ensure their foods are cooked to the right temperature.

Chicken and turkey: Chicken and turkey breasts should be cooked to 165 F, while thighs should be cooked to between 165 F and 175 F. Beef and lamb: Rare beef and lamb should be cooked to 125 F but given three minutes rest after removed from the grill. Medium-rare beef and lamb should be cooked to between 130 F and 135 F, while those who prefer medium well should cook until their beef and lamb registers temperatures between 135 F and 140 F on a meat thermometer. Well-done beef and lamb can be cooked to a minimum of 155 F. When grilling, cooks may be tempted to marinate their foods in an effort to provide an extra boost of flavor. But applying a spice rub and ensuring foods are cooked to the appropriate temperatures are more effective ways to grill flavorful foods.

overall drought index rating was 580 as reported at Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting – which exceeded the state requirement of 575 for a declaration of disaster.

According to Hereford Fire Marshal and county emergency management director Dean Turney, the index had risen to 591 by Thursday afternoon.

Abbott’s extension of the fireworks ban prohibits not only the private sale and use in Deaf Smith County, but also any use.

That tossed the proverbial bucket of cold water on the Deaf Smith County Chamber of Commerce’s annual fireworks display at Dameron Park on July 3.

“We’re trying to figure out how to have community fireworks,” chamber executive director Sid Shaw said. “We’re trying to set an alternative date.”

The number of former Whitefaces patrolling collegiate playing fields and courts rose earlier this month when another departing member of the Herd committed to continue a playing career in college.

Whiteface cager Isiah Escobal officially signed a letter of intent to attend and play basketball for Wayland Baptist University in Plainview.

“We are extremely proud of Escobal and all his accomplishments throughout his high school career,” Whiteface coach C.J. Villegas said. “He was a great player for us and a true leader. Anytime you have a kid continue their playing career it is a special time for us, as coaches, and that player.

“We are glad he has the opportunity to continue playing. Escobal will do great at Wayland, and I know they are excited to have him.”

A three-year, basketball letter-winner, Escobal saw plenty of court time over the past two seasons as part of an eight-man starting and 10-man playing rotation.

Above, Isiah Escobal (3) averaged 7.4 points and 2.9 assists per game en route to earning team Offensive MVP and All-District 3-5A secondteam honors for his senior season.
