The process to replace motor graders in Deaf Smith County took its first steps Monday when the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court approved the letting of bids for the sale of two graders being used in Precinct 3. “I want to put these out for sealed bids,” Precinct 3 Commissioners Mike Brumley said. “We’re looking to sell one John Deere grader and one Volvo grader. “Hopefully, the county will receive higher bids that the current offers we have to sell them. We’re hoping to get $10,000-$15,000 more. If we don’t like the bids, we can always reject them.” Both of the graders, Brumley added, have less than 3,000 hours of use on them, but are nearing the end of their warranties. They are also part of the county’s 12-grader fleet – three per precinct – that is scheduled to be replaced during the next three years. “We anticipate getting a good bid on the Deere and a lousy one on the Volvo,” Brumley said. The difference in the potential bid amounts, he added, was the overall condition and preference for each specific model. Brumley had wanted to have the bids let and received so they could be opened at the next commissioners court meeting on Monday, July 10, but county Au-
Music will waft across the evening air and fireworks will light up the sky Monday as Hereford celebrates Independence Day. The annual July 4 soiree is set to begin Monday by 6 p.m., in Hereford’s Josserand Aquatic Park. Kicking things off will be offerings from a variety of booths that will set up throughout the park. Booth registration is being handled by St. Anthony’s Catholic Church Knights of Columbus No. 2778 and has shown an uptick from a somewhat lastminute event scheduled last year. “People were real satisfied with last year,” Knights of Columbus booth coordinator Albert Schoenberger said. “We are very pleased with the response this year, and everyone is looking forward to Monday. “Hopefully, it will not be quite as hot as last year, and there will be a breeze.” After 19 booths were part of last year’s event, Schoenberger said 24 had already made reservations as of midday Thursday. Booths will feature a wide variety of items and services from an array of food to jewelry, ice cream, computer repair, telephones and trinkets. A combined chorus of voices from Hereford church choirs will serenade attendees with a

Riding for Abigail’s legacy By Kerri and Jim Steiert Contributing Writers
INDEX
10 pages | $1.00
She was 22 on that chilly December night in 2015, a budding journalist home-bound for Christmas, when a head-on car crash left her in a coma. Days later, having bequeathed her organs to others, she slipped peacefully away— 22 forever. When someone dies too soon, before they’ve had a chance to live, one tries to find sense in a tragedy that, by its very nature, is senseless. The loss of Abbie is a painful reminder of our tenuous, fragile footing in life. We never thought our “Peanut,” tiny lover of big books, would ultimately travel where we could not follow. Abigail Arroyos, the vibrant, petite trailblazer, lives on through a legacy of helping others and in the memories of those who loved her. Known for her long mane of chestnut hair, the dimpled beauty was a traveler and adventurer. In her brief life, she visited numerous countries in both hemispheres and was well on her way to becoming a profes-
sional journalist and broadcaster of award-winning stories. Her legacy is currently being celebrated by a 1,000-mile fundraising ride spanning the length of Texas. Undertaking the 10-day trek are four experienced cyclists, including her uncle, Barry Morgan, a Hereford native who is dedicating his love of cycling to raise funds for the Abigail Arroyos Forever 22 Memorial Scholarship Fund. On Thursday morning, Morgan and fellow cyclist Steve Cox left Perryton, pedaling south on their thousand-mile route, christened Abigail’s Trail. Fellow cyclists Bill Friedrich and Dan Wick joined them Friday to ride as far as San Antonio. Traveling on a straight line through 25 counties, the riders will bike through the heart of the Lone Star State, from the Panhandle through Abilene and the Hill Country to San Antonio, then on to South Padre Island at the southernmost point of Texas. They hope to cover 100 miles a day. Their progress can be tracked on Facebook and Twitter at @ PLEASE SEE ABIGAIL | 3

abigailstrail. The chase team for the Forever 22 Scholarship Fund ride includes Abbie’s mother, Debbie Arroyos, and brother, T.J. Arroyos, in a vehicle pulling a trailer loaded with bikes, necessary gear, water, and sustenance for the road. The entourage also includes Abbie’s aunts, Jana Hedrick and husband Bryan of Hereford, Cindy Dews and husband Allen of Taylor, and Trina Duerksen and husband Nick of Salt Lake City, Utah. Debbie’s sisterin-law, Selina, will also be helping in the San Antonio area. “All donations go to the Forever 22 scholarship fund. None will be used for ride administration or product sales support. We have caps and T-shirts available online for $25 each, and donations of whatever anyone wants to give are welcome. A donation of 5 cents a mile would amount to $50,” explained Debbie. Donors may give online or mail gifts to the Forever 22 Scholarship Fund, PO Box 1541, Hereford, TX 79045. The Arroyos scholarship has already been awarded to five deserving Hereford High School seniors headed to Abbie’s beloved Texas Tech, where she earned
her journalism degree in 2014. The initial scholarship fund was launched just months after Abbie’s passing and her family wanted to continue the educational grants with a fundraising event. “Anyone who knew my niece Abbie knew she blazed a trail. For her entire life, she was an individual not content to follow the crowd. She dreamed big and accomplished many goals during her short time with us,” Morgan remembers. Honoring Abbie’s memory with a journey is in keeping with her lifelong ambition to travel and a natural avenue for her uncle to deal with his grief. “My brother Barry had always wanted to do a milestone ride. After Abbie’s passing, he felt lost as to how to help. He instigated Abigail’s Trail and it has become a family project to pull us all closer together,” Debbie said. “Abbie didn’t let her small town roots hold her back,” said Debbie. “As a little girl, one of her favorite things to do was to spin the globe, close her eyes and point to a corner of the world she wanted to experience.” Fresh out of high school, Abbie began realizing her dream of traveling the world when she was accepted by the People to People Student Ambassador program that took

included France, Austria and Germany. Abbie bloomed at Hereford High, active in band, tennis—and especially 4-H, where she excelled in numerous projects , particularly public speaking and photography, served on the State 4-H Council, and garnered scholarships. Her experience at Texas 4-H Congress as a
press corps member solidified her desire to become a journalist. She graduated from Hereford High School in 2011 in the top 5% of her class. Abbie worked as a student investigative reporter for The Hub in its initial year as the all-digital news outlet showcasing the Texas Tech community. She and her colleagues earned statewide awards for their stories. Her journalism career began soon after for the newly-created program at KTTZ Texas Tech Public Radio station in Lubbock where she wrote and produced the twice weekly NPR show, “Inside Texas Tech,” highlighting accomplishments of Texas Tech students, staff and alumni. Morgan, 55, works at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and teaches seminars across the country. He received a degree in Biology/Anatomy from West Texas State University and went on to further studies in Physical Therapy at the University of Texas. “I didn’t hesitate. I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of. I am proud and honored to ride in memory of this wonderful young woman who accomplished so much in such a short time,” said Wick, after being invited as one of the cyclists now riding Abigail’s Trail. “Some might say that her untimely death is where Abbie’s story ended but in true trailblazing fashion this was not the case. Even at her young age, she had chosen to be an organ donor and so through her unselfish act saved lives. On her last new trail she took her biggest journey of all,” Debbie said.

Deaf Smith County Historical Commission state awardee By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
The Deaf Smith County Historical Commission stood in the spotlight Monday as Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner presented the local organization with a state award. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) recognized the Deaf Smith County Historical Commission with a Distinguished Service Award for its efforts during 2016. The THC issues its Distinguished Service Award to local historical commissions that document ongoing, well-rounded programs of history and preservation-related projects, according to a THC press release on the recognition. “County historical commissions act as grassroots leaders for preservation in communities
across Texas,” THC executive director Mark Wolfe said. “The Texas Historical Commission presents this Distinguished Service Award to the Deaf Smith County Historical Commission to honor its ongoing efforts to save real places that tell the stories of Texas.” The Deaf Smith County Historical Commission is best-known locally for its efforts at Deaf Smith County Museum and the E.B. Black House in Hereford, as well as educational programs for area students. Wagner presented the award certificate to Deaf Smith County Historical Commission representatives Paula Edwards, Trish Ledezma and Carolyn Waters during Monday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court. According to the THC release, county historical
commissions provided more than 468,000 volunteer hours in 2016, which is tabulated as an in-kind donation to the state that totals more than $11 million. The THC assists more than 200 county historical commissions through programs and services that preserve Texas’ heritage for the education, enjoyment and economic benefit of current and future generations. The state commission’s advisory role to local entities is outlined in the Texas Government Code, which contains a statute enabling counties to establish local historical commissions. The commission’s volunteer appointees – as directed by county officials – initiate and conduct programs that preserve the historic and cultural resources of Texas, the release added.

They were in Hereford June 25-June 30, hosted by FUMC of Hereford, to perform mission work.The target group for the UM ARMY’s efforts includes elderly, handicapped, and low income individuals within Hereford who may need repair work around their home.The team also offered help with handicap access ramps, such as the one being installed here. UM ARMY team members from left include Emma Jones of Wellington, Brynleie Early, Kelley Allen, Tracie Waldrop, and Cheyenne Gonzales of Miami, Josh Wildre of Quanah, and Robert Self of Wellington.

A “Friends of Jane” food drive conducted by First United Methodist Church to collect food and funds on behalf of the Hereford Food Pantry in memory of the late Jane Eggen will begin Sunday, July 2, and continue through the month of July. Food Collection boxes will be available in the Welcome Center of FUMC at 5th and Main. All contributions may be dropped off at the Welcome Center of FUMC during church office hours Monday through Friday, or Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m to noon. Checks may be made payable to FUMC with a nota-
tion “food drive,” or to the Hereford Food Pantry. Among food items needed are jelly, sugar, flour, boxed macaroni and cheese, pasta, rice, cereal, and cooking oil. Other dry food items are also welcome. “Jane Eggen came to FUMC Hereford about a year ago after being a long-time member and leader in Wesley UMC in Hereford. She quickly became an active member of FUMC Hereford and made friends with everyone she met. Jane’s sudden death in May was a shock to all who knew her. Jane’s friends mourn the loss of her radiant personality and her servant’s heart. Jane lived her
faith, so to know her was an opportunity to see a glimpse of Jesus working in her life to serve others,” said John Perrin, a leader of the Sunday School class meeting in Ward Parlor at FUMC. “To honor the memory and spirit of Jane Eggen, her Sunday school class and ‘Friends of Jane’ are conducting this food drive to benefit the Hereford Food Pantry, where she served as a loyal volunteer and leader for many years. Please remember Jane by bringing your contribution, large or small, and experience the spirit of generosity and service that was so evident in her.”

9 Kids Inc. 10-under Minors take softball state title From Staff Reports
Of five Deaf Smith County teams from Kids Inc. that participated in the Babe Ruth State Softball Tournament, three brought home top-four honors from play June 16-18 in Levelland. Topping the list was the Minor League 10-under team, which survived an early scare to take the state championship. After needing 15 innings to win a June 16 tourney opener, 23-22, and get established in the winner’s bracket, the Minor girls remained unbeaten until June 18’s championship game in the double-elimination format. The team lost the championship opener to Denver City – a team it had already beaten – to force a deciding second game that ended in Deaf Smith’s favor to secure the state title. As state champions, the Minor 10-under team – coached by Edward Sturgeon, Jacklyn Miller and Lucas Mendoza – advances to the Babe Ruth Softball Regional Tournament, July 3-7 in Houma, La., to face teams from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The Minors were one of only two county teams to play on the tournament’s championship third day as the 16-under Babe Ruth unit ended up second after falling to Levelland. On a full slate Saturday, June 17, T-ball, Minors, Majors and Babe Ruth 14-under Deaf Smith teams were

The 14-under Babe Ruth team dropped its opener against Brownfield and had a furious rally from a 15-2 deficit fall just short in a
15-14 loss to Levelland that eliminated it from the tournament. In addition to the five Deaf Smith County representatives, teams from Dumas, Denver City, Brownfield, Pampa and Levelland also took part in the state tournament.
