Tierra Blanca Classic teeing it up for 14th edition

Proudly Serving The High Plains Since 1901

One of the premier summer events in the Panhandle will see its 14th renewal Friday when the Tierra Blanca Golf Classic leaves the tee box at Hereford’s John Pitman Golf Course.

The three-day tournament – mounted by the Deaf Smith

County Chamber of Commerce – features a 36-hole, battle of two-man teams on Saturday and Sunday for cash payouts and includes an alteration in its Friday schedule.

In the past, Friday saw players get accustomed to the course with a free-forall shootout.

SHAW

Chamber executive director Sid Shaw said this year’s Friday slate will be a fourman scramble.

The tournament is sporting its usual maximum field of 122 teams from as far as away as New Mexico, Oklahoma and Dallas.

“We have a people playing every year from with-

in a 200-300 mile radius of us,” Shaw said. “We have lots of Lubbock folks, too.”

One of the toughest ticket nuts in the area to crack, Shaw added a majority of the teams are annual participants and there is still a list of 11 teams waiting to get a spot in the tourney.

In a vote that was not actually needed, more than $750,000 in additional funding for the renovation of Tierra Blanca Elementary School (TBES) was officially approved by the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees during its regular meeting Monday.

Normally meeting the fourth Monday of each month, the meeting was moved up a week for the third consecutive month.

“These are no additional funds over what was approved last month,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said.

“Our attorney thought it would be better to do [the additional funding measure] as an individual item.

“This just makes it official and more public.”

At May’s board meeting, trustees approved a gross maximum price (GMP) for the project of $4.763 million.

The renovation eclipsed the $4 million initially appropriated by trustees November when project construction manager at-risk (CMAR) Southwest Contractors presented a guaranteed maximum construction price of $3.84 million.

Combined with $493,237 of additional costs associated with the project - $337,592.40 in architectural and engineering fees (8 percent of project cost), $55,645 for asbestos abatement and $100,000 moving costs PLEASE SEE BOARD | 10

Hereford ethanol plant to be part of carbon capture study From Contributed Sources

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) and White Energy announced Monday they have agreed to evaluate the economic feasibility of a carbon capture, utilization and storage project.

The project would capture carbon dioxide (CO2) at White Energy’s ethanol facilities in Hereford and Plainview, and transport it to the Permian Basin, where Occidental would use it in its enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations.

Occidental injects CO2 into oil reservoirs, causing trapped oil to flow more easily and

efficiently.

“The collaboration between Occidental and White Energy is a direct result of the passage of the FUTURE Act,” said Occidental Petroleum president and CEO Vicki Hollub. “Carbon capture technologies have the potential to play a critical role in reducing global emissions, and this project is an important first step in crossindustry collaboration to make these efforts economic, practicable and scalable.”

The engineering study, expected to last six months, will examine the costs of building a carbon capture facility.

the project is economically feasible, operations could begin as soon as 2021.

The carbon capture project would be designed to be eligible for 45Q tax credits and California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard Carbon Capture and Storage protocol, both currently in development, demonstrating that these important incentives result in near-term investment, reduced CO2emissions and jobs.

“White Energy is committed to the development of clean, renewable fuels. This project would enable us to capture the CO2proPLEASE SEE STUDY | 3

USDA resumes continuous CRP enrollment From DSC Farm Service Agency

As part of a 33-year effort to protect sensitive lands and improve water quality and wildlife habitat on private lands, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will resume accepting applications for the voluntary Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

Eligible farmers, ranchers, and private landowners can sign up at their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office until Aug. 17.

“The Conservation Reserve Program is an important component of the suite of voluntary conservation pro-

Aside from the fact the Tierra Blanca is a topnotch event each year, one reason for the tournament’s popularity is not difficult to ascertain.

“It is a large tournament, and there are large payouts,” Shaw said. “Guys have a chance to win some real money.”

What sets the Tierra Blanca apart is its payout structure.

Whereas most tournaments of this ilk will have higher payouts for the more-skilled flights, the Tierra Blanca has the same payout for each of its flights – which are usually limited to 10-12 teams per flight to make 10 flights.

“A guy doesn’t have to play in the Championship or First flights to make some money,” Shaw said.

“We have the same payout for each flight from the Championship to the last.

It gives everyone playing an equal chance at prizes.”

Of course, a notable payout would not be possible without the assistance of tournament sponsors.

While readily admitting the tourney’s support from local businesses is admirable and much of the reason for its continued success, Shaw could not put a specific finger on a reason why businesses felt it important to take part in the tournament.

One results from the event – whether a player, sponsor or not – is the impact the tournament has on the local economy.

Although not buying into

grams USDA makes available to agricultural producers, benefiting both the land and wildlife. On the road, I often hear firsthand how popular CRP is for our recreational sector; hunters, fishermen, conservationists and bird watchers,” U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said. “CRP also is a powerful tool to encourage agricultural producers to set aside unproductive, marginal lands that should not be farmed to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.”

New limited practice availability and short sign up period helps ensure that landowners with the most sensitive acreage will enroll in the program and avoid unintended competition with new and beginning farmers seeking leases. CRP enrollment currently is about 22.7 million acres.

For this year’s signup, limited priority practices are available for continuous enrollment. They include grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others.

duced at our plants and redeploy it in an environmentally responsible way,” said White Energy president and CEO Greg Thompson. “We’re excited about partnering with a diversified energy company like Occidental Petroleum. This project has the potential to provide strong environmental and economic benefits for everyone involved.”

Occidental is an industry leader in applying CO2 EOR technology.

This technology can increase oil recovery by 1025 percent in the fields where it is employed, while at the same time permanently sequestering the CO2 in the res-

ervoir.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved Occidental’s two monitoring, peporting and verification (MRV) plans for CO2EOR fields in its Permian Basin operations. These plans, which were the first-ever approved by EPA, demonstrate that the captured CO2 is safely and permanently stored and establish a framework to quantify the amount of CO2sequestered.

The FUTURE Act, which became law in February, supports the conversion of CO2 emissions from industrial sources, including ethanol and coalor gas-fired power plants, to a commodity product that can be stored in a secure geological formation through EOR.

OPINION

Songs We Sang Imagine watching Bo Derek, stunningly wreathed in braids, from the movie “10” without hearing the rise and fall of Ravel’s Bolero. Or seeing the film “Chariots of Fire” without the iconic, throbbing theme music.

And you’re simply left with sweaty people running in slow-motion on the beach. Some movie scores—”Gone with the Wind,” “The Pink Panther,” “Superman,” and “Indiana Jones”—are indelibly etched in our culture and as recognizable as each film’s stars.

If you mute the opening sequence of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” you’re left with a monkey band and a gigantic floating block.

The rich harmony of the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody is eternally linked with the romantic pottery scene in “Ghost.” Where would Hollywood’s most villainous characters, Darth Vader and Great White sharks, be without the ominous theme music composed by John Williams?

The first “Pitch Perfect” movie sold tickets because of the great playlist, as did “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Dirty Dancing.” It’s difficult to envision “Back to the Future” without the songs of Chuck Berry and Huey Lewis. Some soundtracks and film tracks actually ALL IN outshine the movies they Kerrie Womble Steiert scored, such as “Saturday Night Fever” (BeeGees), “Flash Gordon” (Queen), and all of the insipid “Twilight” reels. Recently, the success of “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman” happily proved that audiences still enjoy the escapism of high-quality Hollywood musicals.

Occasionally, it’s amusing to imagine that certain moments in our lives play out with a soundtrack matching the mood of the event. A stressful first day on the job would be so much more entertaining if Manic Monday was scored to your wrestling match with the uncooperative copying machine. Of course, if you are among those chronically plugged in to a playlist, you’re ahead of the game, paced by Hall of Fame while going for a run or perhaps something less cinematic, like scrubbing the bathtub.

For years, I worked with a hyper-energetic woman who was always on the move; think of the pace kept by a Jack Russell terrier on crack. It was no accident that her office mates took perverse pleasure in playing the Russian Sabre Dance as she scurried around us, completely oblivious to the frantic background tempo. An alternate selection was the equally peppy selection, Flight of the Bumblebee.

As children, we sang along to ditties like Little White Duck and I’m a Lonely Little Petunia (in an Onion Patch) on bright-yellow 78-rpm records using a boxy vintage player that would probably fetch a sweet price on Etsy today. We wore out the tracks on a set of Disney long-play albums.

Tumbling into our teen years, our hungry ears discovered rock and roll courtesy of radio stations KPUR in Amarillo and, on a clear night, KOMA out of Oklahoma City.

It was the sixties, a turbulent era when we visited the house of the rising sun, pulsed with good vibrations, pondered the sounds of silence and traipsed strawberry fields forever. The unspooling strand of songs had no end, threading through the blushing adventures of adolescence—first car followed by first speeding ticket, first goal scored, first crush, first date, first dance, first heartbreak. The music of youth is each generation’s tapestry, a richly-woven blend of crimson-and-roses, the keeper of memories.

The brain’s three senses—sight, sound and smell— have the power to evoke emotionally-charged memories. Research has proven that music is profoundly linked to personal reminiscence. According to composer Robert Snyder, there are different kinds of memory, including explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory is a deliberate, conscious retrieval of facts from the past. Music is remembered implicitly— outside of consciousness.

It’s the reason that we add music to weddings and photo montages for anniversaries, birthdays and memorial services. The perfect blending of songs with milestone moments surpasses the sum of its parts, making magic through the marriage of lyrics, melody and photographs. Well-chosen music deepens our emotional awareness, grants depth and meaning to feelings that are above and beyond the spoken word. It’s the music that connects us to each other and to our past, recapturing yesterday’s exquisite joy and hurt.

From cradle to grave, from lullabies to the final refrain of Amazing Grace, the lyrics and melodies of our past serve as touchstones, intrinsically bound to the seasons of life. The songs of yesteryear have seeped into our DNA, becoming an ingrained part of who we are.

Hospice workers tell of dementia patients who, having lost the meaning of words, experience a spark of recognition, lending their frail voices to the strains of an old familiar melody, often a hymn. The songs we sang dwell deeply within us, preserved in the amber of identity, untouched by the onset of age or disease. The unique, unchained language of music survives when words fail us.

AUSTIN – A panel of Texas Senate members on June 11 and 12 received input about ways to improve security on public school campuses.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the Senate, formed the legislative body's Select Committee on Violence in Schools and School Safety following the May shooting at Santa Fe High School in which a student shot and killed 10 people and injured 10 others.

The Senate district of Committee Chair Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, includes Santa Fe Independent School District. Taylor underlined the complexity of the problem, saying, "This is a multi-faceted deal. There is no one solution. A metal detector is not the end-all."

The committee heard ideas regarding enhanced control of campus access and improved safety measures such as security cameras. San Antonio ISD Police Chief Joe Curiel told the committee that police presence works as a deterrent and preventative measure, and STATE that increasing positive interactions between officers and CAPITAL students can help students HIGHLIGHTS feel more comfortable comEd Sterling municating about actual and possible problems with officers.

Midway ISD School Resource Officer Jeff Foley told the committee, "While we need to do our best to keep these kids secure and keep them safe, we also don't want them to feel like they're in a prison."

Christopher Huckabee of the Texas Society of Architects School Safety Workgroup talked about internal and external threats. He said school design is trending toward more compact structures that are built "up" rather than "out" so sections of a building can be locked down to contain a shooter.

Kim Vickers, director of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, said that under current law, school marshals must be licensed to carry a handgun in the state, must be employees of the school, must complete an 80-hour training course and pass a psychological evaluation. Vickers said schools may elect to use a less restrictive "guardianship program" that only requires that a school board to vote to allow specific teachers or staff to be armed, but there is no state oversight over those.

Texas School Safety Center Director Kathy Martinez-Prather said the Lone Star State has the largest on-campus police presence in the country. While more than 240 school districts have their own police departments, many more use school resource officers who are local police assigned to the school, she added.

Speaker orders studies Texas House Speaker Joe Straus, in response to the Santa Fe High School shooting, charged a number of House committees to study issues related to school security and firearm safety and to make recommendations based on their findings by the month of August, when the new school year begins.

Straus said his instructions to committees reflect ideas recommended by Gov. Greg Abbott and suggestions offered by educators, behavioral health experts, law enforcement and others.

Fraud unit is recognized Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on June 12 announced that his office's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit received the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General's award of excellence in fighting fraud, waste and abuse.

Paxton said the unit was selected for the top award from 50 units nationwide because of its "highly effective collaboration with the Office of the Inspector General, the FBI and other federal partners."

During fiscal year 2017, the unit obtained 108 indictments, 137 convictions and led the nation in recovering more than $534 million, Paxton said.

"Medicaid fraud drives up the cost of health care for all of us and steals from taxpayerfunded programs that help Texans receive medical care," added Paxton.

Proclamation is extended Gov. Greg Abbott on June 8 extended his disaster proclamation for Texas counties impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

Abbott issued the original proclamation on Aug. 23, 2017, and has extended the proclamation every month since then.

The proclamation applies to the counties of Aransas, Austin, Bee, Brazoria, Calhoun, Chambers, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Fort Bend, Galveston, Goliad, Gonzales, Harris, Jackson, Jefferson, Jim Wells, Karnes, Kleberg, Lavaca, Liberty, Live Oak, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Victoria, Waller, Wharton and Wilson.

The proclamation authorizes the use of all available resources of state government and of political subdivisions that are reasonably necessary to cope with the disaster.

Deaf Smith plays part in Plains' 2nd-largest cotton crop

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

With planting of the 2018 cotton crop in Deaf Smith County an “iffy” proposition due to drought, it’s ironic that a wet fall made 2017 cotton harvesting “iffy” last fall as well and that cool, cloudy days adversely impacted quality of that huge crop. That’s the way of farming, however. Currently, local farmers are hoping for rain to help them get the 2018 crop off to a good start, and on irrigated acres, are watering up a dusted-in crop.

Figures from Mary Jane Buerkle of Plains Cotton Growers, Inc. on 2017-crop upland cotton production show that the High Plains total of 480 pound bales harvested hit 5,390,140, making it the second largest crop measured

by PCG in the organization’s history. The crop could have been even larger, but, much of the irrigated crop wasn’t fully mature or of the best quality with high stick and trash content due to failure of the crop in the top of cotton plants to properly mature. The high content of trash in the crop made ginning slow going. Stripper fires, burr fires, module fires, and some unfortunate gin yard fires also plagued ginning of the 2017 crop that extended almost to planting time for 2018.

Total planted cotton

Farmers in the “Magic Triangle” area of Deaf Smith, Castro and Parmer counties managed to produce a cumulative total of 334,600 bales of cotton in 2017, despite less than ideal weather conditions for finishing out the crop.

Photo by Jim Steiert acreage for the High Plains for 2017 was 4,395,900 acres and harvested acres were 3,252,750. The average yield per acre was 795 pounds, an average of 1.6 bales per acre for the 41-county PCG area.

Hale County topped the High Plains and the nation with 422,300 bales of total production and an average of 913 pounds per acre—just a hair under two bales per acre across all acres.

Locally, the Magic Triangle region of Deaf Smith, Castro, and Parmer counties accounted for production of 334,600 bales of cotton in 2017.

Deaf Smith County

farmers started with 39,600 planted cotton acres in 2017, and harvested 35,400 acres.

Average yield per harvested acre was 806 pounds—1.67 bales per acre, amounting to 59,400 total bales.

Neighboring Castro County started with

ing off to 56,900 acres.

Yield per harvested acre was 1,016 pounds—2.11 bales per acre—adding up to 120,400 bales.

To the east, Randall County had just 9,800 harvested acres out of a crop that started at 12,000 acres, but producers managed a yield per harvested acre of 1,016 pounds, or 2.11 bales per acre, that accumulated into 21,250 total bales produced.

The High Plains has seen significantly increased cotton acreage on its northern end the past few years, thanks to improvement in cotton varieties. That trend was verified by Moore County accounting for the top yield in the PCG area in 2017 with

an average of 1,222 pounds per harvested acre. That’s an average of 2.54 480 pounds bales per acre—once unheard-of numbers from the northern Panhandle. Overall, Moore County growers managed 127,300 bales from 50,000 harvested acres.

Likewise, Ochiltree County on the northern end ranked second in average pounds per acre at 1,157—2.4 bales per acre, and Sherman County averaged 1,124 pounds per acre—2.3 bales per acre.

75,200 planted acres, and harvested 68,100 acres. Average yield per harvested acre was 1,091 pounds or 2.27 bales per acre. Total production was 154,800 bales.

SPORTS 6 Herd scrambles for grid schedule Hereford BRAND

Wednesday June 20, 2018

PAGE

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Hostile Herd

Fortunes on the gridiron took a decided turn for the better in 2017 for the Hereford Whitefaces.

The return of several top players for 2018 was bolstered earlier this spring when biennial UIL reclassification dropped the Herd from one of the smallest schools in Class 5A to one of the larger in Class 4A. The shift in classification also brought alterations to district configurations, and resulted in the Whitefaces playing in two separate districts – one for football, and the second for all other sports.

While both districts are called 3-4A, basketball, volleyball, tennis, baseball and the likes will be in a five-team league with Canyon, Lubbock Estacado, Levelland and Lemesa.

For the Hostile Herd, the playoffs are set as they were placed in one of three four-team districts in Region 1.

Although guaranteed of a postseason berth regardless of record since four teams from each district qualify for the playoffs, the reclassification conundrum for the Whitefaces was find-

DELOZIER

ing games to have a record.

Having been in an eight-team district for the past two seasons, Herd athletic director and head football coach Don DeLozier knew opponents for the

final seven games of the season were set because that was the district slate.

That meant DeLozier only needed to find a trio of early-season games to fill out the schedule.

Aware a drop to 4A was coming and with an inkling on where the Whitefaces would end up, DeLozier began trying to put a 2018 schedule together before reclassification was announced.

Once the call was made, he was staring at a threegame district schedule to close the season and eight weeks of open dates looking back.

Able to get a slate in order, the 2018 schedule bears a striking resemblance to ones of the past two seasons.

Half of the upcoming schedule is against teams the Herd faced as District 3-5A foes during the past two years.

The Whitefaces open the season on Aug 31 at home

for relocating furniture and equipment.

At May’s meeting, trustees opted for the first of three options presented that included $50,000 for library furniture and equipment, as well as a list additional options that pushed the price up.

After questions were raised following May’s approval concerning the need for a board vote to approve the additional funding, Blankenship sought legal opinion from the board attorney.

As it turned out, Monday’s vote was effectively moot.

According to board attorneys, trustee approval of a GMP for the BLANKENSHIP project was also de facto passage of any additional funding that might be required.

In short, when the board gave its OK to the GMP, it automatically approved the funding increase.

Included in that price bump were a set of initial options that – now approved – will totally complete the renovation project.

In addition to the $3,840,914,000 for the construction bid and $543,237.40 for the additional costs, the board will pay $378,991 for options that include $92,053 for exterior finishes; $128,815 for an entrance canopy and landscaping; $23,606 for gymnasium finishes and lighting; $5,016 for PE storage; $4,676 for table storage; $14,560 for fencing; and $110,265 for windows.

against Caprock, then travel to Kimbrough Stadium to face Randall on Sept. 14.

Two weeks later, Plainview visits Whiteface Stadium on Sept. 28 for homecoming.

The final two 3-5A opponents are now 3-4A rivals as Canyon and Dumas also dropped to 4A. The Herd visits Canyon on Nov. 2 before closing the regular season at home against Dumas.

DeLozier’s scheduling dilemma was somewhat smoothed by a reality that made having dates for Caprock, Randall and Plainview easier to come by than just the fact the teams are rivals.

“Some of the games [on our previous schedule] we needed to keep,” DeLozier said. “We need to play Randall, Caprock and Plainview because all of our junior highs are still competing in the same districts.”

Interwoven among the familiar opponents on the slate are four that are new to Hereford ear.

The Tierra Blanca renovation will transform the interior into 19 uniform classrooms to house pre-K and Head State classes starting in 2019-20.

Of the GMP options presented to the board in May, the first – which was ultimately approved – included the entire package.

The second option had the renovation project, fees, asbestos abatement and moving expenses for a total of just more than $4.33 million.

The third option included all items in first except for the windows to come in at almost $4.653 million.

Trustees had been continually reminded as project parameters were being set that additional costs were likely.

Among the bids Trustees approved an additional $763,000 Monday for the that came in higher TBES renovation project.

than expected was for plumbing and HVAC, which according to officials, was because of the condition and deterioration of the systems.

The TBES renovation project is in its opening stages as the interior of the 50-year-old facility will be transformed into 19 uniform-sized classrooms that meet all federal and state requirements for pre-K and Head Start programs.

The trappings that made TBES an elementary school have been removed, and the asbestos abatement process is scheduled to begin this week.

Demolition and renovation will follow for the year-long project that is set to see Tierra Blanca re-open to start the 2019-20 school year as HISD’s new home for its pre-K and Head Start programs.

At that time, the 93-year-old and unsafe Stanton Learning Center will be closed as an active HISD campus.

The lone familiar name is a district foe in other sports – Lubbock Estacado, which hosts the Herd on Sept. 21.

The Whitefaces welcome in San Angelo Lakeview after a long road trip for an Oct. 12 game, but that comes after the Herd had made a couple of lengthy bus rides of their own.

The first road trip of the season will see the Whitefaces travel to Midland Greenwood on Sept. 7.

They settle in for another long haul on Oct. 5 when they visit Andrews.

The season’s bye week (Oct. 19) follows the Lakeview game and precedes the district opener at Whiteface Stadium against Pampa.

“It’s a good schedule,” DeLozier said. “It will be competitive. There are some strong people we have to play.

“We have to travel some, but we would have had to regardless of how they placed us.”

A noticeable change to the schedule is kickoff time, which has been moved to 7 p.m.

The lone exception is a 7:30 p.m. kickoff set for the Sept. 21 game at Lubbock Estacado.
