What has become a bubbling political issue for the City of Hereford is reaching a full boil after the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) Board of Directors refrained from offering any approval or even endorsement of plans for a new civic center at a called meeting Wednesday.

Junior NJR, seniors open 24th Spicer Gripp Memorial

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The bovine left the chute, the ropes were flying and checks changed hands as competition in the 24th annual Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping got underway Thursday at Spicer Gripp Memorial Event Center in Hereford.

Both ends of the competitive spectrum were in the spotlight Thursday as the youngest and oldest ropers in the event took to the ring with a pair of Junior NJR events in the morning before the day wrapped up with Senior Steer Roping.

In the Junior NFR No. 10 competition that featured 69 total teams, Slade Baumann and Braxton Hughes pulled opposite ends of success as they were part of the top five finishing tandems.

Baumann was header on the first- and second-place teams – joining heeler Nicholas Lovins to post a 37.59 on four gos to split the $5,000 top prize.

Baumann teamed up with Hughes to finish second in 40.91 for a $1,730 payout PLEASE SEE GRIPP | 10

As of mid-morning Friday, outdoor burning in Deaf Smith County was again allowed after Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner lifted the county’s burn ban.

Wagner announced early Friday morning that as of 10 a.m., Friday, the burn ban would be lifted until further notice.

“Due to the recent moisture and chance for the fuel load to green up, the prospect for fewer wildfires has improved,” Wagner said. “Although the ban is being lifted, we do want people to remain vigilant.

“Even though things have improved with recent rains, fire dangers still exist.”

An on-again, off-again item for the county, the burn ban has been an on-again item for much of the past two years and especially during the course of the past 10 months.

The county went through several consecutive months of a ban when there was no measurable rainfall between NovemberFebruary and less than 1 inch between March and May. While the county has been fortunate to have not experienced a large, drought-induced fire, there have been numerous smaller blazes controlled by local firefighters.

The drought and burn ban threatened the county’s Independence Day celebrations this year when Wagner ordered and received approval from the gov-

A man wanted on several felony charges was shot and killed early Thursday by the Amarillo Police Department (APD) SWAT team to end a stand-off in a Her-

eford neighborhood.

Although few details on the incident have been released, reports show that APD had tracked 35-year-old Jonathan Joey Mendoza, who was being sought for several unnamed

felony charges, to Hereford.

APD SWAT was mobilized and dispatched to a residence on the 600 block of Sixth Street in Hereford where Mendoza was.

Upon SWAT arrival, a stand-off ensued before Mendoza exited

the dwelling and brandished a firearm at SWAT team members.

He was then shot and killed.

SWAT: FROM PAGE 1

Hereford, Hereford Police Department (HPD) was not alerted to the situation or even notified that APD SWAT was entering and operating in its jurisdiction, according to city officials.

It is standard operating procedure for law enforcement agencies to provide information to local counterparts when entering another jurisdiction for operations.

Hereford city officials said APD did notify Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office of its presence in Hereford, but neither

APD nor DSCSO alerted HPD that another agency was operating in its jurisdiction.

City officials noted the lack of notification could have exacerbated the situation with tactically clad and armed officers unknowingly deployed in a Hereford neighbor-

hood.

According to reports from Hereford city officials later Thursday, both the Amarillo Police Department chief and Amarillo city manager had called to apologize for the lack of notification of APD’s presence in town.

In the book we call The Bible, there are 66 books. 39 of the books we find in the Old Testament, and 27 of the books are in the New Testament. The books were written by different men over hundreds of years, with varying backgrounds and education. All of these men were human, subject to making errors, subject to forgetfulness, and subject to their varied opinions.

II Timothy 3:16 says “ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. How can we be so certain that all of what is written came from God? Hebrews 1:1-2 says “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us

by His Son…………..”

In Luke 1:70 and Acts 3:21 (also written by Luke), there are similar statements regarding the prophets “As He spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began”. In II Peter 3:21, we read “for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit”. Here are 3 examples: • II Samuel 23:2 David said “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word was on my tongue”.

• Isaiah 51:16 “And I have put my words in your mouth” • Jeremiah 1:9 “Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: Behold, I have put My words in your mouth”.

In Deuteronomy 18:20-22, we can read what God said about the prophets: “But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ – when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; if the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him”.

7 Hostile Herd rounding up for drive to 2018 season

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A season of high hopes will take its first steps Monday when the Hereford Whitefaces open preseason football practice.

“We’re excited to get started,” Herd head coach Don DeLozier said. “We have a golden opportunity in front of us, and we’re ready to start putting the pieces into place to make that happen.”

Preseason drills are opening a week earlier than usual

this year because of Hereford’s reclassification to Class 4A for 2018-2020.

With UIL regulations limiting spring football practice to only the state’s two largest classifications, 4A is now the third largest and subsequently prevented from holding spring drills.

In the past, DeLozier has opted for the 17 days of spring practice in exchange for opening preseason workouts a week later.

With no spring, the Herd gets back to work on the

Based on results from 7-on-7 competitions in May and June, rising junior Slader McCracken looks to be a top target in the Herd passing game this season.

BRAND/John Carson

first Monday in August this year instead of the second.

While no spring practice was a deviation from what has been SOP for the Herd, the loss of the April and May workouts are not something that should be problematic as practice begins.

“Our summer workouts have gone well,” DeLozier said, noting that all summer work was done on a voluntary basis due to rules that prohibit coaches overseeing those drills. “We had pretty good participation, and we had lots of kids getting stronger and faster.”

Those are two things the coach wants to hear as the Whitefaces get ready for the season.

There is reason for anticipation after the Herd had a turnaround season in 2017 following back-to-back, lackluster 2-8 seasons that went without a district victory.

Breaking through last season, the Whitefaces finished 6-4 and on the up side of the ledger for the first time since 2011.

They also finished 3-4 in District 3-5A play and were a missed extra point and 19yard field goal away from making the playoffs.

Much of that team returns for 2018.

Highlighting the excitement is offensive dynamo Seth Dixon.

Back for his senior season, the 2018 Class 5A 152-pound state wrestling champion was also the district’s leader rusher (1,569 yards) and scorer (150 points) last season.

He averaged 7 yards per carry while scoring 21 rushing touchdowns. He also caught 11 passes for 319 more yards and 4 scores.

Triggering the offense will be senior Dodge DeLozier, back for his third season as a starter.

After splitting starting time as a sophomore, DeLozier took the reins full

Herd head coach Don DeLozier is looking forward to the start of preseason practice Monday and the prospects the 2018 season brings in a new classification and district. BRAND/John Carson time in 2017 and completed 81-of-163 passes (49.7 percent) for 1,287 yards with 8 TDs and 8 interceptions – 4 in one game.

He was also the team’s second-leader rusher with 437 yards on 92 carries (4.7 yards per carry) that included a pair of 100-yard games and 7 touchdowns.

Returnees anchoring the defense are 2018 3-5A Defensive Newcomer of the Year Jaden Cano at linebacker and first-team All-District cornerback Sebastian Grajeda.

Despite there being a few holes to fill, coaches are anxious to see how 2018 begins after the way 2017 ended.

“We’re most excited to

see how much carry over we have from the end of 2017,” coach DeLozier said. “By the end of last season, we were playing pretty well.

“Not having spring practice is really no problem.

The only thing about not having it is we still don’t know how the offensive and defensive lines will stack up.”

Unlike the previous two season where the sevengame district schedule was a grind from Week 4 on, reclassification puts the Whitefaces in a somewhat enviable position in terms of getting things working right.

Reclassification brought redistricting that placed the Herd in District 3-4A with former 3-5A foes Canyon

and Dumas and returning 4A power Pampa.

Subsequently, the fourteam district means the Whitefaces are guaranteed a return to the playoffs for the first time since 2012.

The district slate, which ends the schedule, will determine the district’s postseason seeding.

The down side to that is it left coaches with seven slots to fill before the district schedule.

The result is a somewhat hodgepodge slate that opens with includes former district opponents Caprock, Plainview and Randall, as well as familiar foe Lubbock Estacado.

The usual preseason scrimmage against Midland Greenwood is now a regular-season game and one of three big road trips for the Herd this season.

After making the Sept.

7 trip to Greenwood, the Whitefaces will visit Andrews on Oct. 5 and San Angelo Lakeview on Oct. 12 to close out the non-district slate before an open date and district opener against Pampa on Oct. 26.

As the countdown begins to the 2018 season, the first week will provide a springboard into what is hoped to be a stellar year.

“The first week we will concentrate on conditioning and seeing how much of our base offense and defense we have been able to retain,” DeLozier said. “The biggest thing we’ll all be looking forward to is seeing the enthusiasm play out we have about moving forward this season.”

The annual Meet The Herd event is set for 6 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 23 before a Friday, Aug. 24 scrimmage against Lubbock High at Whiteface Stadium.

The regular season opens a week later (Aug. 31) when the Whitefaces host Caprock for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

The top five Open finishers will move to a Sunday

short-go with scholarship money on the line.

A win in a go, fourth in another and consistency throughout did the trick for Marty Jones as he took home the $1,680 prize for winning Senior Steer Roping.

Jones won the second go in 12.93 and was fourth in the first (13.88) en route to an average time of 45.38 – more than 4 seconds faster than second-place finisher Kim Ziegelbruber (49.68, $1,390).

Cody Dutton was third in average at 56.56 for $1,100 with Mike Beasley finishing fourth (55.25, $800), Cecil Wilson taking fifth (59.96, $520) and Troy Hill coming in sixth (61.45, $290).

There were 41 ropers vying for $17,300 in payouts through three gos and an average.

Robin Bland posted the overall fastest time (11.98) to win the first go with Jones taking the second and Dutton the third (12.30).

Although not among the top six in average, Will McBride did take home $1,840 after finishing second in the second (13.34) and third (13.03) gos.

A full slate is on tap Sat-

urday at Spicer Gripp with Invitational Calf Roping hitting the arena at 9 a.m.

The always-popular Diggin’ The Kids Dummy Roping contest begins at 10 a.m. in the pavilion with the age-division champions to meet in the ring for the overall championship after the calf roping at approximately noon.

Pro-Am Team Roping leaves the gate at 2 p.m., as the afternoon air is filled with the aromas of the Bob Beville Memorial BBQ Contest contestants preparing for the 6 p.m. announcement of awards.

The day ends with the second of two dances featuring Jake Hooker & The Outsiders.

Sunday is payday with Short-go Finals in Ladies Breakaway, Calf Roping, Team Roping and Steer Roping where the top 12 finalists in each event vie for top dollar.

In addition to the Junior NJR scholarship short-go, Sunday also features an open and junior roping match, cowboy church and empty saddle salute before the event closes with its traditional Open to the World Knot-Tying Contest.
