Ex-DA investigator arrested for felony By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Food waste a problem in Texas Page 3
A former investigator with the Deaf Smith County District Attorney’s office is free on bond after his arrest last week on felony charges. David Castillo, 55, was taken into custody June 26 by Amarillo Police after a felony warrant had be is-
sued in Deaf Smith County for his arrest. “Yes, we did issue the complaint,” Deaf Smith County District Attorney Jim English said. “An officer from Hereford Police Department (HPD) signed and filed it.” Both English and Hereford Police Chief Brent Harrison confirmed the arrest warrant was issued for a felony of retaliation in connec-
tion with a June 13 incident at St. Jose Catholic Church in Hereford. According to HPD reports, officers responded to St. Jose Catholic Church on June 13 in reference to a call concerning a man with a firearm attempting to find entry into the church. “There was a firearm involved,” Harrison said. “There were tense moments between the responding

Two of the premier events annually sponsored by the Deaf Smith County Chamber of Commerce come virtually back-to-back each year – and this year, they literally do – when the chamber’s City-wide Yard Sale will celebrate its silver renewal Saturday. The sale always takes place hot on the heels of the chambers Independence Day celebration and fireworks show, which lit up the skies in Hereford on Monday. A somewhat unique event, the City-wide Yard Sale provides bargain hunters a chance to take in a bevy of sales in one day. Running from 8 a.m.3 p.m., the sale annually features yard sales throughout town with the chamber offices on SHAW Main Street serving as event headquarters. As with every year, the chamber office will provide a map and listing of yard sales taking part in the event so shoppers will know exactly where to go to seek out their proverbial treasures. However, as of Friday, chamber executive director Sid Shaw had some concern about this year’s event. “It’s not very big this year,” he said. “I don’t know why. It may just be one of those years.” With Shaw noting the sale has had as many as 85 different locations around town in the past, the number Friday was less than 30. That was Friday. By Monday, Shaw’s tune had changed to a degree as he expressed confidence the event would get to its usual number of sales. “We anticipate 50-60 sales,” he said. “That’s about average. We usually get a lot of folks who wait until the last minute to get involved. “I get panicking a little bit when numbers are down in early registration, but they tend to pick up during the week leading up to the event. The only thing about waiting is the sale doesn’t get listed in the paper.” Shaw said the ad for the sale that

Happy Birthday, USA The evening turned bright with color and alive with sound Monday as Hereford celebrated the nation’s 241st birthday with a fireworks show and patriotic concert. While one needed to be in Josserand Aquatic Park to take in the concert and accompany booths, many only needed to walk out the door to view the fireworks, which were visible throughout most of town in the night sky.

an optional fine up to $10,000. The jury needed 1:10 Friday to return with a sentence of 75 years for Arguijo. Stroud said he would be eligible for parole in 30 years. The injury to a child
charge stemmed from an incident that took place on Dec. 31, 2012. “These are difficult cases,” Stroud said. “The accused was the father of the victim. These are PLEASE SEE GUILTY | 3

Food waste a problem in Texas By Jessica Domel Texas Farm Bureau field editor
A lemon here. Half a pizza there. A banana somewhere in between. Have you ever stopped to think about how much food is wasted in your household each year? It might be more than you think. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans waste 30-40 percent of the food supply. Imagine what could happen if we take that number and reduce by half. How many more hungry families would we be able to feed? Think of the money you could save. Consider the resources that it takes to transport food, packaging and other trash to the landfill. Those resources could be better spent benefiting the community. Here are several ways everyone can work together to reduce our food waste. 1) Buy smart. Don’t buy produce or other food items

you know you won’t eat. If you’re not going to eat two pounds of bananas in a week, try buying a smaller bundle. You’ll save money and reduce waste. 2) Meal plan.

Arguijo, who was already serving time for a March 2014 arrest in connection with an evading with a motor vehicle charge, will have his 75-year sentence begin immediately and run concurrently with the 10-year sentence he received for the evading conviction.

If it’s still good, consider donating it, and possibly your time, to a local food bank or charity organization. 5) Recycle. If you can, com-
post food that has spoiled, so it hasn’t gone to waste for nothing. We may not be able to do everything all the time, but surely we can do most things some of the time. 6) Challenge yourself. Take one step today to reduce your own food waste, even if it’s just sharing a banana with a friend.

OPINION
The Long Spoons This week the mailman delivered a flat flashlight with the daily mail. It arrived in one of those over-sized packets sent by various charities seeking donations. I did not know I needed the world’s most-mashed working flashlight, although I must admit, its tiny bulbs put out a surprisingly bright beam. We all receive these tokens from non-profit groups who literally push the envelope in gimmicky ways to get our attention and, if the marketing scheme succeeds, our donation. Junk drawers would be a lot emptier if it weren’t for these “valuable gifts” from charities: inkpens, pencils, keychains, magnets, address labels, stationery, luggage tags, notepads, datebooks, calendars and tote bags. The most peculiar tactic is when a charity sends a nickel or dime with their request for a contribution. Yes, they’re paying us to make donations, perhaps playing off of our built-in guilt over accepting a gift without reciprocating inkind. It must work though or they wouldn’t keep up the confusing practice. ALL IN Obviously, donations Kerrie Womble Steiert beget more requests from more charities. There’s jostling competition among non-profits for your dollars which explains the endless pile of crapola weighing down the mailman. At some point, most donors come to the conclusion that we’d rather the non-profit group forego the gimmicks and save that money for the noble cause they represent. Americans are noted for their willingness to help others. But we rightfully expect charitable organizations to be responsible stewards of our funding and it’s discouraging when we hear reports of stilted priorities or downright malfeasance. One of the most recent black eyes earned by a non-profit was the Wounded Warrior Project when its lavish spending was uncovered last year. The veteran-support group has since cleaned house and is trying to rebuild its reputation. Fortunately, there are watchdog groups who monitor and rate benevolent organizations for their integrity and management. Some of these review agencies provide free information, but most charge a nominal subscription fee or accept donations for their services. ~~~~~~~~~~ One of the most pervasive global causes is alleviating hunger. It’s a perplexing issue because the world is fully capable of producing sufficient nutritious food for all of the earth’s 7.5 billion people. Apparently, we are faced with a sharing problem, symbolized by the parable of The Long Spoons, folklore that is common within several faith cultures, including Jewish, Hindu, Christian and Buddhist. It is the story of two feasts: one in Heaven and the other way south of there. At both banquets, the setting is identical—a large round table centered with a delicious, rich stew in a generous bowl. The supper guests have very long spoons that easily reach the soup tureen, but it’s impossible for a diner to feed him/her self with the oversized utensils. In one room, the guests are starving, emaciated from hunger. In their greed, they only focused on their own need. At the other feast, the satisfied, healthy diners learned to share and feed one another. One in nine people—795 million people— do not have enough to eat. Most live in developing countries where there is an unstable government and economy. Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger-related disease. The chief causes are poverty, war, weather extremes, sanitation and water access. Starvation is a cruel fate, one that is beyond the imagination of most Americans. We empathize, but feel helpless in taking meaningful measures to alleviate suffering when the causes are so entrenched and remote. Some of the simple steps we can take are: 1. Ask Congress to use diplomatic and trade sanctions to punish countries that weaponize hunger and 2. Support ethical organizations concerned with sustainable food, empowerment and education of women, social change and water availability. In her novel The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins wrote about a spoiled, rich regime that used hunger as a weapon, controlling the populace by denying basic sustenance.

AUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott, in the last 10 days of June, posted news releases pointing out specific lawmakers and their plans to file bills that fulfill his expectations for the 30-day special session, which he called to begin July 18. Abbott said lawmakers first must pass a “sunset bill” to extend the life of the Texas Medical Board and then tackle a 19-item list of other issues in the month-long session. Abbott’s list is a pretty close match to a list of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s priorities. Here are a few of those items: - Legislation to reform property taxes, by Sen. Paul BettenSTATE court, R-Houston, and Rep. CAPITAL Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton. “Skyrocketing property taxes HIGHLIGHTS in this state are unacceptable, Ed Sterling and Texans need reform right now,” Abbott said. - Legislation to prevent local governments from taking private property rights by drastically changing property development rules on landowners after they have purchased the land, by Sen. Dawn Buckingham, R-Austin, and Rep. Cecil Bell, R-Magnolia. - Legislation to speed up the permitting process for local governments, by Sen. Konni Burton, R-Fort Worth, and Rep. Workman of Austin. “Some local governments are doing everything they can to over-regulate, and in the process, stifle our economy and interfere with job creation,” Abbott said. - Legislation to protect the privacy of women and children, by Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, and Rep. Ron Simmons, R-Carrollton. This issue – commonly referred to as the “bathroom bill” – sparked much controversy during the regular legislative session. It has to do with the accommodation of transgender students. - Legislation to limit the growth in local spending to no more than the growth of population and inflation, by Sen. Craig Estes, RWichita Falls, and Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas. “Fiscal responsibility does not begin and end with state government,” Abbott said. “Government, at all levels, has a responsibility to operate within a budget that does not shift the unnecessary and excessive cost of unchecked growth onto its taxpayers.” - Legislation to limit the growth in state spending to no more than the growth of population and inflation, by Sen. Kelly Hancock, RNorth Richland Hills, Rep. Tan Parker, R-Flower Mound, and Rep. Mike Schofield, R-Katy. “A key component to good governance is fiscal responsibility,” Abbott said. “By passing laws that ensure state spending does not exceed the growth rate of population and inflation, we can limit the size of government and control spending, while retaining the flexibility to meet the needs of our fastest growing communities,” he added. - Legislation to bring about “pro-life” insurance reform, by Sen. Brandon Creighton, RConroe, and Rep. John Smithee, R-Amarillo. “No Texan should be forced to pay for insurance that covers elective abortions,” Abbott said. - Legislation to strengthen patient protections related to Do-Not-Resuscitate orders, by Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, and Rep. Greg Bonnen, R-Galveston. “Patient protections relating to Do-Not-Resuscitate orders must be strengthened and clarified under law,” Abbott said. AG offers help in inquest Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on June 28 announced the Office of the Attorney General would assist Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson in her investigation into allegations of voter fraud in Dallas County precincts. Johnson said help from Paxton’s office would enable her office to broaden and deepen its ongoing voter fraud investigation. “We believe as they assist us, that we will be able to restore faith in our electoral process here in Dallas County,” she said. San Antonio officers shot Two San Antonio police officers suffered gunshot wounds in an incident near the city’s downtown area on June 29. Both officers, who were on patrol when the shootings occurred, were hospitalized. A suspect in the incident was shot and killed by police. A second suspect was wounded and taken into custody. Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Paxton issued public statements following the incident. Paxton offered his agency’s assistance in the investigation. In a Twitter posting, Abbott wrote: “Sending thoughts & prayers to the two @SATXPolice officers shot in the line of duty.” DPS increases patrols The Texas Department of Public Safety on June 29 increased traffic enforcement during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, looking for drunken drivers, speeders and seat belt and other traffic violators. During last year’s Fourth of July enforcement period, state troopers issued more than 85,267 tickets and warnings, including 1,372 seat belt and child safety restraint citations, the agency said.

GPM shows too much water on corn not best decision By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
Leon New, the highly-decorated irrigation engineer, District Conservationist and Demonstration Project Lead for the North Plains Groundwater Conservation District continues proving that corn producers can grow profitable yields on less water than they long thought. New helped growers including many in Deaf Smith County, improve irrigation efficiency as an Extension specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife for 40 years. He received the 2017 Blue Legacy Award for Agriculture (Non-Producer) from the Water Conservation Advisory Council, and the North Plains GCD “20012 Project,” under New’s direction, won the Texas Environmental Excellence Award, the state’s highest conservation award. New’s 200-12 project work, and the “3-4-5 Gallon Production Maximization (GPM) Project” in the North Plains District show pouring more water on a corn crop may not be the best business decision. Corn producers can get more net profit per inch of water on less than full irrigation. His findings are
irrigation available for the season. With less available water he actually topped 4 and 5 gallon per minute plots by 12-18 bushels per acre. “Harold applied a management strategy including planting dates, seeding rates, and hybrid selection, in addition to soil health benefits from historical crop residue, that was specifically intended to increase yield potential at his lower irrigation capacity,” said New. Those 2016 results reflect astonishing 200-12 project results amidst drought in 2011 and 2012. “If I had predicted that we’d successfully grow corn on the Texas North Plains on 2.5 and 3 gallons per minute per acre water, nobody would have believed it. With good management and efficient irrigation technology we’ve been able to do it,” says New. GPM results vary among sites but provide insight into maximizing net return from groundwater and specific production and management goals. “We want the best net income per inch of water applied. We can save water and fertilizer by producing corn that makes a decent yield on less water,” says
Harold Grall has been a long-time supporter of research efforts exploring how to grow good corn yields on reduced irrigation. Photo by Jim Steiert The overview of the 2016 “3-4-5 GPM Project” shows with adequate rainfall, it’s possible to grow 200+ bushel corn crops with limited irrigation. With rainfall ranging from 6.41 to 13.86 inches, all but one of the three GPM demonstrations were within +/- 5-percent of a 200 bushel per acre yield. Only three out of 10 of the 3 gallons per minute plots fell below 200 bushels per acre, with one site reaching 216 bushels on
Leon New has worked extensively with farmers in the High Plains to improve their irrigation efficiency, and he’s at it again in work on the GPM trial being conducted by the North Plains Groundwater Conservation District. Photo by Jim Steiert based on the GPM project during 2016. The final year of the project is underway this growing season. Harold Grall, president of the North Plains GWCD and a long-time cooperator with New’s research, has become a big believer in bottom line versus binbuster yields. In the 2016 GPM research project he produced over 200 bushels per acre of corn with only 2.5 gallons per minute of
Grall. “If we can make 180 bushels on less than three gallons per minute per acre, we can continue producing irrigated corn in our region while preserving the working life of the aquifer. We learned that 18 inches of irrigation was enough to get us through the drought of record in the region in 2011 while still harvesting 178 bushels per acre.”
only 13.57 inches of irrigation and a total of 22.35 inches of irrigation and rainfall. One of the 3 gallons per minute fields that did not reach 200 bushels per acre had significant hail damage. The three year “3-4-5 GPM Project” is building on the North Plains district’s award winning “20012 Project” that ended in 2014. Participants in the
“3-4-5 GPM Project” are using variable rate irrigation (VRI) to simulate 3, 4, and 5 gallons per minute, per acre irrigation conditions in side-by-side, productionscale demonstrations. The “3-4-5 GPM Project” uses a comprehensive resource management approach including irrigation scheduling and management technologies, maximized delivery systems, conservation tillage practices, hybrid technology, and pest and nutrient management to optimize conditions for water savings and maximum yield. “We learned from the various levels of irrigation used during the ‘200-12 Project’ that we were normally over-irrigating with 5 gallons per minute, and yields at 3 and 4 were not that much less,” said New. “The idea is that irrigators can strategically use less water, improve their irrigation efficiency and maintain profitable yields.” Producers with higher irrigation capacity can reduce the amount of irrigation applied through nozzle package adjustments or by use of VRI speed control. Year two of this threeyear project saw enhanced management through planting dates, seeding rates, hybrid selections and irrigation application methods, all aimed at increasing yield potential at lower irrigation capacities. Planting dates ranged from April 25th to June 12th with most fields planted in the last week of May 2016. One of the highest yielding demonstrations was the corn planted the earliest. The 3 GPM field on Grall’s farm yielded 231 bushels per acre with only 14 inches of irrigation, but benefitted from almost 14

inches of in-season rain. Grall utilized an early-late planting combination with 3-4 weeks between plantings and an irrigation capacity of 3.14 GPM per acre on 180 acres of corn. He learned the technique during the “200-12 Project”. Seeding rates ranged from 26,000-38,000 seeds per acre, but yields did not increase proportionately without application of a disproportionate volume of irrigation water for the highest seeding rates. The resulting increase in input costs from seed, irrigation, fertilizer and harvest will reduce any increase in revenue and cause a reduction in overall efficiency. Hybrid selection strategies ranged from using high yielding, drought tolerant varieties, to focusing on high ear-flex varieties. Varieties with enhanced ear-flex can grow larger ears, and therefore, increase yields if additional water is available. On the other hand, many of the higher yield, drought tolerant varieties tend to have more of a fixed ear size. Ear-flex allows the grower to reduce seeding rates, and therefore, the
water requirement, while allowing the opportunity to take advantage of any additional rainfall. Year two also marked the first year of the sideby-side comparison between subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) and Low Energy Precision Application (LEPA) center pivot irrigation. LEPA applies the irrigation water in a bubble or similar pattern no more than 18 inches above the soil using drop hoses. It is reported to reach application efficiency levels of 95 percent. SDI uses drip lines buried in the ground delivering water directly to the crop root zone. This demonstration was located at the North Plains Water Conservation Center (WCC). The WCC provides the opportunity to compare the two highefficiency systems side-byside. In the 2016 side-byside comparison, the LEPA system out-performed the SDI by an average of about 8 bushels per acre. “In only the first year of the comparison and operation of the SDI system at the WCC, these numbers are not conclusive,” said New. Demonstrations initiated in 2015 comparing Precision Mobile Drip Irrigation (PMDI) to LEPA continued. In 2016 PMDI out-performed LEPA by an average of 10 bushels per acre. New says increasing efficiency from reducing water used to grow corn creates options and opportunities. “On one hand, by managing production cost through irrigation, seeding rates, hybrids, and fertility, in combination with strategic crop residue and soil practices, growers may put more money in the bank, while leaving water in the ground and some profit on the table for later,” said New. “On the other hand, growers with adequate irrigation capacity may operate more efficiently, over more acres, putting more money in the bank now,” New said.

Free Playa Field Tour to explore flora, fauna
By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
The German Festival at Nazareth has been a hallmark of the summer season in Castro County, and marks its 45th observance Saturday. A Playa Field Tour has been a morning prelude to the day’s activities for the past several years and is back again Saturday, July 8, with an opportunity to view numerous moist soil plants that have emerged on the strength of good rains earlier in the spring. “Though we have sweated through a couple of weeks with scorching temperatures, it is easy to forget all of the good rains we enjoyed in April and May. Here just south of Nazareth, the playa at Casa La Entereza, 1555 FM 168, filled up during the April 14 downpour, and re-filled again during the deluge on the night of May 10. As a result, the playa basin has been a perfect marsh for nearly three months, with abundant
wetland plants providing superb habitat for red-winged blackbirds, scores of shorebirds like black-necked stilts and American avocets, and even a flock of blackcapped night herons,” says Darryl Birkenfeld, executive director of Ogallala Commons. “Although the water in the playa was about gone, a recent two-inch rain should extend its wet life briefly. All of these conditions provide an inviting atmosphere for nature enthusiasts to come and join us for the free Playa Field Tour from 9-11 a.m., before the Sausage Dinner gets underway at Nazareth’s German Festival. Certainly, we’ve had a lot of hot weather recently, but the mornings have been great, and you never know—we might get one of those cool fronts that lower temperatures into the 70s,” Birkenfeld added. He reports that numerous wetland plants are present adjacent to the unique Playa Classroom at the site. There will

Fun Fact of the Day What speed are most vinyl records? Vinyl records are produced to be played at one of three speeds: 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM. You will almost never deal with 78 RPM records, so don’t worry about that. Most full-size 12-inch records will be 33 1/3 RPM, though some — mainly EPs and maxi-singles — will be at 45 RPM.

Believers
Have you heard someone say, “A cheerful heart is good medicine”? Is that in the Bible, or just a clever saying? Come to Fellowship of Believers on July 9 to find out! Our theme for the morning, “A Cheerful Heart,” will be developed by Pastor Danny Mize from several verses found in Psalms, Proverbs, and other Scriptures. If you join us on Sunday, you’ll even have the opportunity to tell a short, clean joke! (How often have you been able to do THAT in church?!) We’ll also learn a little about laughter and the benefits of having a cheerful heart. The songs we will sing together will reinforce our theme, including: “He Keeps Me Singing” “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You” “Rejoice in the Lord Always” and “Sunshine in My Soul.” Others will be played for us to enjoy. Sound good? Then plan to join us at Fellowship of Believers – 245 N. Kingwood. Fellowship and refreshments will be available by 10:00 a.m. and the worship service will begin at 10:30 a.m. Communion will be served to all who wish to partake.

Camp provides ‘building block’ to hardwood future By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
From shooting to dribbling to rebounding to passing, the foundations of a successful basketball team were on full display last week during the Herd Basketball Camp at the Hereford High School (HHS) triple gym. More than 65 hoop hopefuls took part in the fourday event that featured a pair of daily sessions – morning for younger players and afternoon for those from seventh-ninth grades. “We enjoy stressing the fundamentals of basketball,” camp coordinator and Herd head basketball coach C.J. Villegas said. “I feel like that is the most important thing for young basketball players to understand. “The fundamentals are a building block to being a successful basketball

hits the rim – like getting into the right position to make the rebound and the proper way to box out an opponent. Dribbling was not controlling the ball as a player bounced it off the floor, but controlling where you wanted to go, the proper way to go and the allimportant proper ways to keep a defender at bay while dribbling. Then there was passing, which proved much more in-depth that most thought. While the basic concept is to get the ball from point A to point B, campers’ eyes were opened on the plethora of ways to do that. From the rudimentary chest pass and bounce pass to proper techniques for one-handed passes to both the left and right with each hand to dribbling, stopping on a dime, pivoting and passing, then adding a step to deliver such
went far beyond the usual highlights of passing, dribbling, rebounding and shooting. Campers were able to delve into the intricacies of each.
They discovered rebounding is more than just grabbing the ball when a shot is missed. It also entails a number of important fundamental aspects before the ball ever

“As a coaching staff, we love to have the opportunity to work with our younger kids,” he said. “Most of these young men will be in our basketball program soon and introducing them to our terminology and drills is very beneficial to our program.” With the Herd camp season taking a break this week for the Independence Day holiday, things pick back up next week with the second co-ed camp of the summer. Coach and former HHS state champion Rachael Guiterrez will lead the Herd Wrestling Camp from Monday-Thursday next week at the HHS triple gym. The camp is for incoming third-ninth graders and open to both boys and girls. The daily sessions runs from 9 a.m.-noon. Camp fee is $40, and registration is set for 30-minutes prior to Monday’s opening session at the triple gym. Following another week break from July 17-21, the athletic camp season hits the home stretch. The final co-ed camp is set for Monday-Thursday, July 24-27 as Whiteface coach Cody Crouch directs the Herd Tennis Camp. A somewhat unique setup, the camp is designed for incoming third graders-high school students in a graduated fashion with graduated fees. Incoming third-fifth graders will meet daily from 9-10 a.m., with incoming sixth-eighth graders taking part from 10 a.m.-noon, and incoming and current high school students going from 9 a.m.-noon. Taking place on the HHS tennis courts, the fee for third-fifth graders is $15 and $25 for sixth-eighth
