In what was a familiar sight last season and one anticipated for 2018, Herd running back Seth Dixon breaks through an open hole and into the clear during Monday’s practice. Monday was the first in pads and with full contact of the preseason for the Herd, who host Lubbock High in a scrimmage Aug. 24 before opening the 2018 season at home on Aug. 31 against Caprock.

BRAND/John Carson

Although Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna is expecting some “pushback” over plans for a new $6.7 million civic/community center, experts reported the reality is time had come for those plans to move forward.

A design and floorplan for a new center on West 15th Street were unveiled during Monday’s regular meeting of the Hereford City Commission.

Senior Associate Greg Billman of Parkhill Smith & Cooper, an architectural firm in Lubbock, presented an artist’s rendering of the proposed 24,800-square foot facility, as well as other details, to commissioners.

In addition to designs, Billman came armed with an assessment of the current city community center on East Park Avenue, which showed 60-year-old Hereford Community Center had effectively reached PLEASE SEE CENTER | 3

OPINION

Beauty Sick

TEA releases preliminary finance accountability ratings

There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion. – Edgar Allan Poe My middle-aged niece recently updated her Facebook photo with a selfie filtered by a popular phone app. The new image is my niece. And yet it’s not. The doctored picture has transformed her familiar features to something more in the realm of an air-brushed Disney princess with large doe eyes, wide cheekbones, slender nose and tiny chin. Through digital magic, my relative’s real-world appearance has morphed into a fantasy version of her which is sort of the underpinning of most social media posts.

According to researchers in the Boston University School of Medicine’s Department of Dermatology, selfie altering options are leading users to believe illusion can be made reality through surgery. Strangely, a new wave of millennials are so enraptured by the enhanced self-imagery offered by photo editing apps that they’re traipsing to plastic surgeons expecting the same results with scalpels and Botox.

As if flesh and bone can be reshaped as easily as pixels on a screen.

ALL IN Our fascination with Kerrie Womble Steiert body flaws and plastic surgery has bled over to reality TV programming, such as Botched and Dr. Pimple Popper (yes, really, it’s come to that). Botched, in its fourth season on E! network, follows two doctors as they remedy extreme plastic surgeries gone wrong. Dr. Sandra Lee has parlayed her Dr. Pimple Popper fame on Instagram to TLC channel, where she tackles acne, cysts, lipomas and other growths.

Like many reality television shows, there’s a fine line between interesting and repulsive.

Anyone who has ever peered in a mirror tends to obsess over at least one perceived defect in their face and/or places, including and south of the neck. The mole on your forehead. Lips that are too thin. The shape of your thighs. Noses cause a great deal of personal angst because apparently there’s a limited supply of perfect ones being issued in the people-making process.

Likewise, skin is prone to a host of imperfections: freckles, blemishes, wrinkles, too fair, too dark.

Dr. Renee Engeln, an award-winning Northwestern University psychology professor, has authored “Beauty Sick,” a book examining women’s obsession with appearance as a cultural epidemic that harms their ability to get ahead and live happy, meaningful lives. Body dysmorphic disorder is the pathological preoccupation with an imagined or slight physical defect to the point of causing significant stress or behavioral impairment in several areas (as work and personal relationships). It’s natural to want to be attractive and fit, but it can become a crippling fixation, especially in a society that compels us to chase unrealistic physical splendor.

The female species, in particular, engages in a lifelong love/hate relationship with mirrors. We tend to invest way too much time critically analyzing the imperfections, real and assumed, that we see in the glass.

Forget that “judging a book by its cover” maxim, outward appearance is hard-wired to our self-esteem. And for some, our imagination falsely condemns our reflection as not enough. Not pretty enough. Not thin enough. Not curvy enough. Not tall enough.

Never enough.

First and foremost, maybe we should stop valuing form over function when it comes to our appearance. We would do well to remember that a nose’s priority is to channel oxygen to the brain, to capture fragrances, to hold up our sunglasses. Eyes, the luminous stained glass windows to the soul, are finely-designed instruments of art, revealing the world’s beauty and guiding us through the sunlight of our days to the depth of starry nights.

Lips and teeth bring us nourishment and flavors while sharing our thoughts and feelings through words and smiles. Our skin protects and cools while our hair, our crowning glory, softens our appearance and provides warmth.

A woman’s body is too much maligned and objectified and under-appreciated for the wonder that it is, regardless of its proportions and unfair comparisons to runway models. Our shapely hips cushion the pelvic bones that are uniquely designed to bear the weight and delivery of new lives.

Our breasts pillow and comfort our loved ones while serving as a vital source of ideal nutrition for our children.

Men also face an impossible set of standards, expected to be sculpted like Greek gods and age as gracefully as George Clooney, perpetually handsome with a distinguished, full head of hair.

Our face and form carry the family traits, appealing and otherwise, passed down from bygone generations. We are exclusively made by the ones who came before, to confer our unique heritage to our children and theirs. So, as you take that glance in the mirror, don’t focus on the extra pounds or the latest strands of gray in your hair.

See yourself— your one-of-a-kind, true and beautiful self—as the remarkable, living creation that you are.

AUSTIN – Some 80 percent of public school districts and charters earned the highest-possible preliminary financial accountability rating, according to figures released by the Texas Education Agency on Aug. 8.

The "superior" ratings were calculated using 15 financial indicators, such as administrative cost expenditures, the accuracy of a district or charter's financial information submitted to TEA and any financial vulnerabilities or material weaknesses in internal controls, as determined by an external auditor.

Created by the 77th Texas Legislature in 2001, the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas encourages public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes, the TEA said.

Any district or charter wishing to appeal its rating must submit a written appeal with supporting evidence to the TEA by Sept. 10. Final ratings STATE will be released in October.

CAPITAL

Bail law changes asked HIGHLIGHTS Gov. Greg Abbott on Aug. 7 Ed Sterling released a set of proposals to reform the state's bail system.

Abbott urged the Legislature to pass legislation he named the "Damon Allen Act" in honor of a state trooper who was killed in the line of duty last Thanksgiving Day. If passed, the bill would tie the setting of bail to community safety concerns. A magistrate would be required to consider the criminal history of a defendant and other relevant information, including impact on law enforcement, when setting bail.

In cases involving either felony or misdemeanor charges of sexual offenses and assault, the setting of bail would be handled by state district judges and their associate judges.

To protect communities from repeat offenders, the bill would add steps to the bail process, such as required notification of various other agencies through the case management system.

Revenue is distributed Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar on Aug. 8 announced his office would send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $842.7 million in local sales tax allocations for the month of August.

The amount is 8.2 percent greater than the amount reported in August 2017. The allocations are based on sales made in June by businesses that report tax monthly. For those filing quarterly, the allocations are based on sales made in April, May and June.

Extra vigilance is urged The Texas Department of Public Safety on Aug. 8 posted a reminder to all drivers to slow down in school zones and to be aware of children walking to and from school or waiting for buses.

With the new school year beginning, drivers should be especially alert and careful around school buses and to expect an increase in overall traffic, DPS Director Steven McCraw said.

"Motorists who disregard the law and illegally pass stopped school buses put our schoolchildren in harm's way, and that reckless and irresponsible behavior will not be tolerated by DPS," McCraw said.

Drivers who illegally pass school buses face fines as high as $1,250 for the first offense.

For individuals convicted of that offense more than once, the law allows the individual's license to be suspended for up to six months, the DPS said.

Paxton aims to stop DACA Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Aug. 8 asked a Brownsville U.S. District Court for a nationwide injunction to curtail the issue or renewal of permits under its Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program while Texas' multi-state coalition lawsuit, filed in May, is pending.

Created by an Obama administration executive order in 2012, DACA has granted lawful presence and work permits to about 700,000 non-citizens who reside in the United States.

The attorneys general of six other states joined Paxton in the request. All jointly expressed an ultimate goal of having the court declare the entire DACA program unconstitutional. Paxton said he believes DACA is unconstitutional because it took effect without congressional approval and allowed the president "to unilaterally set aside any duly enacted law."

Diving into a pool of history at Roaring Springs

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The roar of clear water tumbling over sandstone was familiar and welcome to the boy. In his summer thirst he slung his bow and quiver of arrows over his shoulder and across his back to make the climb down easier. For all of the 12 summers of his life The People wandering the lands below the Caprock frequently propped up tipis and camped near the roaring water in the days of hot and dry, and in the days of the turning of color and even in cold times. In this hot time the men and older boys were often away on their ponies, seeking out buffalo and other game— and roaming widely in quest of horses to steal. A man’s wealth was in his ponies.

The more of them he could claim from lessers in this land, the richer he became.

Very soon he would gallop forth on his own pony to earn his place among the hunters and warriors, and winning glory in battle and by snatching horseflesh from under the noses of other tribes and from the Tejanos. He practiced constantly at stealth, horsemanship, and the bow. He could guide his pony with his knees, and move soundlessly in and among the ponies he sometimes kept watch over. When he loosed the arrows he had learned to fashion, the osage orange bow sent them flying true to the mark. He would soon seek his vision, climbing up into the Double Mountain to wait for the knowledge of his name and medicine that the spirits would deliver.

Excitement at thinking on all of this made the water taste all the sweeter as he kneeled at the edge of a cascade and scooped up double handfuls. He tossed water across his neck and down his bare back. Roaring, tumbling water was always

Blanco Canyon, where his pottery was supposedly dashed to pieces in a huge hailstorm during the same trip, isn’t that far away as the crow flies. In latter times the springs were favored

by Indians, buffalo hunters, and settlers. The site was the main camp of the Comanches in 1860, later a camp meeting and picnic site for settlers. In 1912, the community was laid out in the anticipation of service from the Quanah, Acme and Pacific Railway, and named "Roaring Springs" in 1913, when the railroad came. A brick depot was soon established at the end of Broadway Street and handled passenger and freight traffic until 1971. The next year the depot was purchased by the town.

The Matador Ranch maintained a line camp there.

Though the water's flow substantially diminished over the years, Roaring Springs remains popular.

A swimming pool and public recreational campsite were developed there in the 1940s, and in 1978 Jarrell Jennings bought the area for use as a recreational vehicle campsite. The Roaring Springs Ranch Club owned the 746 acre facility and maintained a golf course, the swimming pool, and the RV park. It’s an exclusive club today, the pool is open only to members. These days, when center pivot sprinklers just above the Caprock run hard, spring flow is greatly diminished, the roar hushed.

Should you ever get the chance to visit, listen and look, and perhaps take a quick dip in the pool, you’re sure to remember the thrill and the chill of diving into history.

Hostile Herd straps it up

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Victoria Betzen, left, and Klarise Hill joined forces to record key wins at No. 2 girls doubles in big weekend victories over Keller Central and Chisholm Trail.

BRAND/John Carson

Netters remain hot to open 2018 season

From Staff Reports

A five-match trip to the Metroplex for a pair of dual dates and play in the annual Keller Center Tournament had the Hereford Whiteface tennis team remain on a season-opening hot streak.

The Whitefaces posted a 4-1 record on the road trip to raise their season mark to 5-1.

“This is the most successful Metroplex trip we have taken,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said.

“The kids dictated so many points and came away with so many great wins.

“I am so proud of them and their effort. It was a great way to start the season.”

After knocking off Argyle, 18-1, on Wednesday, where No. 1 girls singles underdog Victoria Betzen dominated in a 6-0, 6-3 upset win, the Herd took their first loss to open the Keller Tournament.

Keller Timber Creek lived up to its pre-match hype with a 1-16 rout.

“They were the real deal with super champs and very talented at every spot,” Crouch said. “We weren’t going to get the win, but we could have competed much better.”

The lone Whiteface win

in the match came at No. 1 girls doubles, where Betzen and Klarise Hill crawled out of a 1-5 hole to win, 8-6.

The Herd got back on the winning track in grand fashion in the next match when Alvarado was stampeded, 19-0.

Class 6A Keller Central lay in the next bracket, but despite entering the match as underdog, the Herd knocked off the 2017 6A playoff team, 12-4.

“The kids played incredible in this match,” Crouch said. “Our energy was just on a different level than I have ever seen.

“This was big win for us.”

Tommy Villalovos, Kevin Nguyen and Nicky Villalovos won singles matches at Nos. 1-3, while Jacen Saenz took the No. 5 spot, 8-3.

Tommy Villolovos and Nguyen teamed up to win at No. 1 doubles, 8-1, and Saenz and John Ferris posted an 8-3 victory at No. 3.

The Lady Whitefaces swept doubles with Betzen (8-3, No. 1) and Aubrey Schueler (8-4, No. 2) winning singles matches.

Advancing to the consolation semifinals later Friday, the match was rained out shortly after doubles play had started.

After a week of jumping through some UIL hoops, the Hereford Whitefaces got down to the nitty-gritty Monday as Week 2 of preseason football practice began.

The Herd spent last week’s first five days going through drills as they could under UIL “climatization” mandates, which dictate the no pads for the first week of practice so players can accommodate themselves with weather conditions.

Despite the limitations state rules placed on the first few days of drills, Herd coach Don DeLozier was pleased with what was accomplished during the first week.

“It went really well,” he said. “It was very up tempo, and the kids worked hard. There was a lot of retention from the end of last season.

“We were able to find out what we needed to know.”

One of the biggest question marks looming when preseason started Aug. 6 was the effect not having spring practice would have.

With Hereford’s reclassification to Class 4A for 2018-20 and UIL rules that only allow the two largest classification conduct spring football practice, the Herd went without spring drills for the first time in more than a de-

Whiteface head coach Don DeLozier exhorts his charges during 7-on-7, full-contact rushing drills Monday.

BRAND/John Carson cade.

The trade-off for holding spring practice was preseason drills could not open until the second Monday in August.

In Class 4A now where no spring practice is allowed, the Herd does get a bit of a boost from no spring with what amounts to an extra

week of practice in pads during the preseason.

DeLozier’s biggest concern on not conducting spring drills was player retention between the end of a successful 2017 season and the lead into the 2018 season.

“The retention has been really good,” De-

With UIL’s mandated week of no pads for “climatization” complete, the Hereford Whitefaces strapped it up and popped Monday as the second week of preseason practice gets under way.

BRAND/John Carson

Lozier said after a week of workouts. “There are always pluses and minuses to spring practice.

The plus is we didn’t have to try to work 15 practices into the busy school schedule in April and May. It can be hard to get all your guys to practices because so much is going on and they are doing involved in other things.

“The minus is you don’t have as good an in-depth look into things as quickly in August without the spring.

You do get an extra week in pads, but there lays the risk of injury.

It’s something you don’t want to think about, but it is reality.”

The Herd wasted no time popping pads Monday with contact liberally dotting the pair of 75-minute, evening practice sessions.

In addition to individual units conducting blocking and tackling drills, offensive and defensive groups came together for full-contact, 7-on-7, between-thetackles rushing drills.

The Whitefaces have less than a fortnight before getting their chance to hit another color jersey.

Lady Herd penned at Mansfield tourney From Staff Reports

A fast start to the annual Mansfield Rotary Tournament proved an anomaly for the Hereford Lady Whiteface volleyball team as the final two days of the tourney brought a tailspin.

After opening the tournament on Thursday with wins over Mansfield Timberview and El Paso El Dorado, the Lady Herd closed the first day of the threeday even with an 0-2 loss to Birdville.

Standing at 3-1 on the young season after Thursday, the Lady Whitefaces limped home from the tourney 3-7 after suffering straight-set losses to finish the tournament out and see a losing streak stretch to six matches.

TENNIS: FROM PAGE 6

Attempts to reschedule what called “a great matchup” for later in the date were unsuccessful.

The trip ended Saturday at Chisholm Trail with a 13-6 win.

“They were a [Class 5A] regional finalist last year,” Crouch said. “They beat us last year, and we talked a lot about how they disrespected us. We weren’t going to let that happen again.

“I didn’t think our energy and performance could top the Keller Central match, but they upped it to another level. That was an exciting win to head home on.”

The Herd took the lead, 5-2, in doubles with a sweep by the girl tandems Schueler-Ally Hubbard, Betzen-Hill and Kamille HicksLiddy Flood, as well as boys wins from No. 1 duo Tommy Villalovos-Nguyen and No. 2 team Nicky Villalovos-Luis Avila.

The Lady Whitefaces also swept singles play with Betzen posting an 8-0 win at No. 1, Shueler 8-3 at No. 2, Hubbard 8-3 at No. 3, Hicks 8-4 at No. 4, Hill 9-8 at No. 5 and Macy Warlick 8-5 at No. 6.

The Herd was back in action Monday when they hosted Palo Duro.

They were back on the road Tuesday with a morning match at Lubbock Monterey and afternoon meeting with Lubbock Cooper.

Wednesday sees a return to Lubbock Monterey for an 11 a.m. match again Abilene Cooper.

This Wednesday will be a great opportunity to see all we offer for our students. The Conxtion Banquet this Wednesday night, 7pm, is a time to remember the great things God has done this year, give serious and goofy awards and look forward to the 2018-2019 year of ministry. This year’s theme is a medieval one with jousting, tournament games, and food without utensils.

Conxtion Youth Ministry will honor their teachers by serving lunch for junior and senior high employees. There will be a smoked brisket sandwich lunch served at the High School Library, Thursday, Aug 16th, from 11:15 am until around 12:45 pm.

You are invited to come worship with us every Sunday morning at 8:30 or 10:00 am. Pastors Mitch and Gina Fernandez will lead us into God’s presence with awesome worship.

We love to have all ages involved in our worship. This week, the young adults are all serving as our greeters and ushers.

Vanessa Gonzales will bring a special song and Pastor Ted will bring a message from God’s Word.

Kid’s Church is offered in the 10:30 am hour with Pastor Tracy Ricenbaw bringing God’s word on a level they can understand.

Clinic offers immunizations Hereford Health Clinic is now offering back to school immunizations for eligible children beginning school this fall.

Hereford Health Clinic can provide all childhood vaccinations required for school entry, as well as those vaccinations recommended to keep children

healthy. No appointment is necessary for the immunization clinics.

A $14.85 administrative fee is charged per shot although no child will be refused a vaccination due to inability to pay. Parents are asked to bring their child’s immunization record.

Parents who do not have a health-care provider and wish to establish care, can call for a clinic provider through a scheduled appointment at the Hereford Clinic.

For more information, contact Dave Clark at 808364-7512 or dave.clark@ dschd.org.
