With all five scoring runners placing in the top 38 of the team competition – and all seven runners finishing in the top 50 – the Hereford Lady Whitefaces claimed the bronze medal Saturday at the UIL Class 4A State Cross Country Meet.

Lady Whitefaces take 3rd at state

From Staff Reports

It was a heavy-medal weekend for the Hereford Lady Whiteface cross country team – and it had absolutely nothing to do with music.

In their first team-qualifying appearance at a cross country meet since 2015, the Lady Herd saw all five scoring runners finish in the top 40 to earn on the spot on the medal podium with a third-place finish at Saturday’s UIL Class 4A State Cross Country Meet in Round Rock.

When the final tabulations were complete, Walcott Independent School District (WISD) emerged as one of the top schools in the country.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced last month that 23 Texas schools – including Walcott Elementary School (WES) – had earned national Blue Ribbon honors for 2018 from the U.S. Department of Education.

Surviving the selection process that scrutinizes student performance and closing achievement gaps, WES and the other Texas public schools were the only nominated from the state and all have at least 39 percent of their student populations deemed economically disadvantaged.

They are among the 349 schools throughout the U.S. to receive the award.

“The work taking place at Blue Ribbon schools is a reflection of the commitment of our teachers to every student in their classroom and on their campus,” Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said. “I congratulate this year’s Blue Ribbon honorees.”

Founded in 1982, the Blue Ribbon program recognizes public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where exemplary progress has been made toward closing achievement gaps among PLEASE SEE WALCOTT | 3

OPINION

Word Power

Secretary of State lauds turnout for early voting

“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”

— 1984 by George Orwell I’m aware that the Texas State Board of Education recently —and stupidly— exiled Helen Keller to the ash heap of historical figures, so I’ve chosen to reference her in protest and because she perfectly illustrates my point.

Keller, who lost her eyesight and hearing to illness as a toddler, was trapped in silent darkness until the age of 7, when a private tutor unlocked her intellect and personality with the introduction of words, manually spelled into her small hand. The gift of language opened Helen’s mind, allowing her to become an educated author and ambassador who was known and admired around the world. Words freed Helen Keller, in the same remarkable way that each of us grows and thrives with the gradual development of our individual communication skills.

The first five years of childhood are most critical in an individual’s mastery of speech and language.

The daily jumble of words that we choose to share helps define our personality, intellect, integrity and goals. The current selfabsorbed culture invites ALL IN us to constantly commuKerrie Womble Steiert nicate our every observation, whim, pleasure and pain through the social media at our fingertips. Sometimes our language reveals more about ourselves than we intend.

George Carlin had his notorious list of seven dirty words. Bill Clinton famously equivocated on the meaning of the word “word.” Elton John crooned that “sorry” is the hardest one to say. “Okay” is one of the most frequently spoken words in the world while “the” takes top honors in the written category. The Bible (also known as The Word) employs 789,712 words in its KJV version with the most common one being “Lord.”

It will come as no surprise that women tend to talk more than our male counterparts, nearly three times more. Research at the University of California found that women speak an average of 20,000 words daily compared to only 7,000 words for men. In 1984, the self-professed “word person and Scrabble fanatic” Gyles Brandreth estimated that the average person utters more than 860 million words in a lifetime. The typical English-speaking American possesses a vocabulary of about 42,000 words plus a bonus 2,823 emojis.

With all that verbage, let’s hope we are occasionally saying something worthwhile, worth remembering.

Words empower us to select and combine them in an infinite variety of ways to express an endless array of thoughts and emotions that comprise our days. Through mere words—the same ones available to each one of us— poets and authors humble readers with their ability to create worlds, thrill our imaginations, tickle our fancy, break our hearts, challenge our thinking.

In the aftermath of yesterday’s mid-term elections, there will be an over-abundance of words, but few of them the kind we need.

Half of the nation is doubtlessly celebrating their victory while the rest of us wring our hands in frustration. Political pundits will deliver comprehensive forensic analyses of Tuesday’s autopsy. Tweets will fly. Posts on social media will be smug, vindicated and generally insufferable for those whose candidates lost.

In these tense, volatile times, our nation could benefit from kinder words that inspire, that unify, that heal. Such expressions are in short supply as the divisions between us deepen. Politicians and an irresponsible Facebook have successfully demonized half the nation. Think about that sobering and unfair belief: Half of our fellow countrymen have evil intentions, can’t be trusted and should be prevented from holding positions of leadership.

We’ve surrendered our common sense to latch onto false rumors and crackpot conspiracies. Americans have grown dependent on anonymous news feeds from social media with no idea of the source or accuracy.

Unfortunately, we now know that many of those “news” blurbs were fabricated by Russian trolls with the intent of sewing discord. The Kremlin’s insidious plan to spread propaganda, trigger violence and polarize groups appears to have worked well, simply because we embraced their words.

A research lab associated with Oxford University found active organized disinformation campaigns taking place on social media in 48 countries, up from 28 in 2017.

In August, Facebook removed 652 accounts and pages that originated in Russia and Iran for the purpose of interfering in democratic elections and inflaming citizens.

It is through the skillful use of language that we have the capacity to inspire, condemn, challenge, discourage, motivate, belittle, comfort or destroy others. With every utterance and post, we make the decision whether our words will be inspiration or insult, wisdom or folly, weapon or lifeline.

Perhaps if we valued our words as currency, with each mean syllable assigned dollar worth, we might take greater care in how we cast them into the world.

Fact or fiction. Words of hate. Words of hope. It’s our choice.

AUSTIN – Statistics compiled by the office of the secretary of state show Texans cast ballots in record numbers during the early voting period before the Nov. 6 midterm general election.

Of the 12,255,607 registered voters in the 30 most-populous counties of Texas, some 4,884,528 individuals voted in person or by mail during the early voting period of Oct. 22 through Nov. 2. That comes to nearly 40 percent of registered voters for those counties. If not a record, that is unusually high in comparison to early voting in previous nonpresidential elections.

Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos, the state’s chief elections officer, on Nov. 2 encouraged the 11 million registered voters who did not take advantage of early voting to get to the polls and vote on Election Day. “As you head to the polls, please be prepared to join the millions of Texans who are eager to cast their votes,” Pablos said.

“I ask you to be patient and respectful as Texans celebrate this privileged event of civic duty to exercise their fundamental right to vote.”

Pablos addressed rumors that electronic voting machines STATE might be inaccurately processing ballots. He assured voters CAPITAL that each of their choices on HIGHLIGHTS their ballots would be counted Ed Sterling accurately and securely and that “every polling place in Texas is staffed by trained elections officials and personnel who are there to help you, are ready to assist and can ensure that you are able to successfully cast your vote.”

Abbott requests declaration Gov. Greg Abbott on Oct. 30 sent a letter to President Donald Trump requesting a presidential disaster declaration for counties especially hard-hit by severe weather and flooding that caused widespread damage across the state in mid-October.

More counties may be added to the declaration as local, state and federal agencies continue to assess damages, Abbott said.

“The magnitude of recent severe weather and flooding has taken a serious toll on Texans across the state. With such widespread flooding and devastation, additional resources are needed to help Texans recover,” Abbott said.

In addition to his request for a presidential disaster declaration, Abbott on Oct. 30 expanded his state disaster declaration to cover some 111 Texas counties. Abbott has authorized the use of all available resources of state government and of political subdivisions to aid in the response efforts.

TxDOT urges more safety The Texas Department of Transportation on Nov. 1 announced that since Nov. 7, 2000 — a period of 18 years — at least one person has died on Texas roadways every single day.

To increase awareness, TxDOT called for Texans to post photo and video testimonials using the social media hashtag #EndTheStreakTX. “We all have the power to end the streak of daily deaths on Texas roadways,” said Texas Transportation Commissioner Laura Ryan. “Don’t drink and drive; put away the cell phone; buckle up; and obey traffic laws. Be the driver you would want next to you, in front of you or behind you. Together, we can end the streak.”

“It’s heartbreaking to know that every day for the past 18 years someone has lost a spouse, child, friend or neighbor on our state’s roadways,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “Ending this deadly daily streak is a shared responsibility. We will continue to engineer our roads to be more forgiving of drivers’ errors, but we all must work toward ending such preventable contributing factors as distracted driving, speeding and drunk driving.”

Revenue total increases State sales tax revenue totaled $2.6 billion in October, an amount 7.3 percent more than the amount reported in October 2017, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said on Nov. 2.

Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in October 2018 was up 12.6 percent compared to the same period a year ago. The sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 57 percent of all tax collections.

However, revenue from other major taxes on motor vehicle sales and rentals, motor fuel and oil and natural gas production were mixed for the month, as follows: — Motor vehicle sales and rental taxes, $438.4 million, down 2.6 percent compared with October 2017; — Motor fuel taxes, $298 million, down 4.2 percent compared with October 2017; and — Oil and natural gas production taxes, $439.9 million, up 52.4 percent compared with October 2017.

Master Naturalists have done work there including creating a wildlife viewing blind and bird and wildlife viewing pond, trail maintenance, and assisting with nature learning activities for students and adults.

The monetary worth of the four million hours of service is valued at more than $100 million. In ad-

dition, the impact of Texas Master Naturalist volunteers has been seen on more than 226,200 acres of land across Texas.

Information about the Texas Master Naturalist program, including the schedule of training courses and contact information for various local chapters across the state, is on the program Web site, and interested persons can check out the Panhandle Chapter’s website for local area information.

Master Naturalists, land-

owners, and the interested public will have the opportunity to attend a Playa Field Day on Wednesday, Nov. 14 from 9:30 a.m.1 p.m. in Crosbyton. The field day will focus on building knowledge about waterfowl species that utilize playas at this time of the year, as well as learning about playa restoration programs.

Playas are shallow, rainfed wetlands throughout the Great Plains. When containing surface water, playas provide crucial habitat for many wildlife species that depend on water to survive. When dry, playas also support Great Plains wildlife species as they are often the only natural lands in a region dominated by agricultural production.

Playas also recharge water to the underlying aquifer, filter nutrients and chemicals from the surrounding watershed, and add recreational value to the region.

Activities will begin at the Pioneer Memorial Museum Auditorium in Crosbyton (101 Main St.), with coffee and refreshments, followed by an overview of the day. A presentation from this writer on “Waterfowl and Fall Migration on Southern Plains Playas” will then follow.

A second presentation will be given by Don Kahl,

TPWD Region 1 Migratory Game Bird Specialist, on restoration efforts and options for playa landowners through the Texas Playa Conservation Initiative.

At 11 a.m., the group will depart for a Field Trip to visit a playa east of the Cone community that has been restored through the Texas Playa Conservation Initiative. A sandwich lunch will then be served back at the Auditorium along with a wrap-up session led by the presenters.

The workshop will adjourn at 1 p.m.

The workshop is sponsored by Ogallala Commons and its partners, the High Plains Water District and Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Those attending are asked to wear clothing, footwear, and a hat suitable for the field tours.

There is no charge for the event, though a $10 donation for lunch is appreciated.

Those interested in attending are asked to contact Darryl Birkenfeld, Ogallala Commons Director, at 806-945-2255 to ensure an accurate lunch count.

Scenarios abound in Dumas finale

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A four-year state qualifier, Hereford’s Sabbatha Taylor heads toward the medal stand with a third-place finish at Saturday’s Contributed photo UIL Class 4A State Country Meet.

BRONZE: FROM PAGE 1

coach Jose Huerta said. “The girls showed heart, determination and guts. That’s what it was going to take for them to be on the medal stand.

“We knew that we were coming in among the top 10, and everyone at the meet would have the same opportunity to be on the stand. The girls went out and made the most of it.”

The state medal podium was déjà vu from the Oct. 22 4A Region 1 meet with the top three region finishers taking the same spots at state.

Canyon won the state title with 54 points after all seven runners placed in the top 21. Decatur was second with 88 points, and the Lady Whitefaces brought home bronze at 131 points.

Bandera finished with 147 for fourth, and Andrews (196) rounded out the top five.

Three-time district champion, three-time region medalist and four-time state qualifier Sabbatha Taylor capped her senior season by taking a spot on the individual podium with a thirdplace finish in 11:44.19.

Non-team qualifier Anna Casey of Llano won the race in 11:39.78 with Canyon’s Breanna Steward (11:41.03) taking silver.

“Sabbatha showed her courage and seniority in

leading the way,” Huerta said. “She has grown over the years in her experience as a distance runner.

She has come a long way, and there is no doubt in my mind that wherever she goes after this, there will be ton of success in her running career.

“Sabbatha will be missed, and the upcoming runners will have some big shoes to fill.”

They started in that direction Saturday.

Junior Melanie Jaquez was the second Lady Whiteface across the line in 12:18.20 for an 18th-place team finish.

A pair of freshmen and a sophomore rounded out the five Lady Herd scorers as frosh Audrey Gibson (12:42.08) and Rubie Trevino (12:42.80), along with sophomore Malarie Dominguez (12:43.09) following each other through the finish in 36th, 37th and 38th place, respectively.

The other two Lady Whiteface runners – junior Katie McCathern and sophomore Amber Maldonado – finished 48th and 50th in overall team competition with times of 12:49.74 and 12:50.13, respectively.

“Our two freshmen stepped up and ran like upperclassmen,” Huerta said.

“Dominguez showed determination and guts to pull out her finish to beat the No. 5 Bandera runner to aid out trip to the medal stand.”

Before the season started, the four members of District 3-4A all knew they had qualified for the football playoffs.

With one game left in the regular season, the only certainties in the district race is that 0-2 Pampa cannot win the district and 2-0 Dumas cannot finish as the No. 4 seed.

Aside from that, all bets are off and nothing is decided pending the outcome of Friday’s games that see Hereford hosting Dumas and Canyon visiting Pampa.

The Demons invade Whiteface Stadium riding a sixgame winning streak that has them at 7-2 overall and unbeaten in league play after wins over Canyon (35-28) and Pampa (28-24).

“They are another team that plays hard,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said.

“They are a hard-nosed team that plays with a lot passion.

“They’ve won six in a row, so they must be doing something right.”

Predominantly running a spread-option offense, DeLozier said the Demons have dropped into a double slot that resembles a wing-T look.

“They want to run right at you,” DeLozier said. “They are a lot like us on offense in that they take advantage of what is offered and do it.

They are very similar to us.”

Hostile Herd (6-2, 1-1) VS.

Dumas Demons

(7-2, 2-0) When: Friday Where: Whiteface Stadium Kickoff: 7 p.m.

After posting a season-low 29 rushing yards last week, the Whitefaces hope to have leading rusher and scorer Seth Dixon (21) back in the lineup after he missed last week’s game with an injury.

HISD photo by Bryan Hedrick The district playoff seeding scenarios range from clear-cut to muddier than a playa after the Herd strolls through.

The best for the Whitefaces is to beat Dumas and have Pampa beat Canyon.

That would leave the Herd as district champion at 2-1 with Dumas second by headto-head tiebreaker, Pampa the third seed and Canyon fourth.

Seeding is simple if Dumas and Canyon win with Dumas taking the title by head-tohead win, Canyon as No.

2, then Hereford third and Pampa fourth.

Things gets stirred up if Hereford and Canyon win or Dumas and Pampa win.

With Herd and Eagle wins, there would be a three-way tie at 2-1 with Hereford having beaten Dumas, Dumas having beaten Canyon and Canyon having beaten Hereford.

The tiebreaker, according to DeLozier, then becomes point differential between the three teams.

Under that scenario, if the Whitefaces won by 14 points

or more, they would be district champion and No. 1. If they win by 9-13 points, they would the No. 2 seed, and by 8 or fewer, they would seeded third.

With wins by Dumas and Pampa, that would leave Dumas with the title at 3-0, then Hereford, Canyon and Pampa tied at 1-2.

Again point differentials kick in, and as best as can be determined, the Harvesters would have to beat Canyon by five points or more to move into the No. 3 spot and drop the Whitefaces to fourth.

“We’re still in control, but we can only take care of what we can,” DeLozier said. “We are going to focus on winning the game. We can only control what we can control.

“We do what we can, and let the chips fall where they may.”

Hobbled Herd corralled

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A fast-and-furious first quarter morphed into a game of attrition as the injury-bitten Hereford Whitefaces fell to host Canyon, 27-17, Friday in District 3-4A gridiron play.

In seeing a six-game win streak snapped, the Herd dropped to 6-2 on the season and 1-1 in league play. The Eagles improved to 8-1 and 1-1.

“I am extremely proud of this team,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “They gave great effort and played hard, but, at times, they didn’t play not well.

“The kids understand what we mean by that.”

After the Eagles opened the scoring on a 49-yard touchdown run by Lawton Rikel four plays and less than 1:30 into the game, the Whitefaces stalled on their first possession, but received a 49-yard punt from Tye Davis that was downed at the Canyon 2.

On the ensuing play, Rikel mishandled the shotgun snap and fumbled out of the end zone for a safety.

The Herd needed just three plays after the free kick to take their only lead of the night when Sebastian Grajeda found Ray Ponce open on a deep post for a 57-yard score and 9-7 lead with

5:21 left in the first.

A pair of long, jump-ball passes that Canyon receivers came down with set the Eagles up at the HHS 2 on the following two possessions.

Jake Gilley scored on two 2-yard runs to give the Eagles a 20-9 lead they took into intermission.

Following a scoreless third quarter, the Whitefaces tried to climb back into it after recovering a Canyon fumble at the Eagle 41.

Eight plays later, Grajeda connected with Christian Mendez from 7-yards out for the TD, then the tandem hooked up again for the conversion to cut the deficit to 20-17 with 7:15 remaining.

Davis took the ball away from a Canyon receiver three plays later, but Sam Gilbreath returned the favor when he intercepted a tipped Grajeda pass and returned it 17 yards to the Herd 22 to end the possession.

Canyon’s Brandon Driskell capped the game-clinching drive with a flanker throwback pass to Rikel from the 13 to provide the final margin.

In his second start, Grajeda posted career highs in pass attempts (24), completions (11), yards (158) and touchdowns (2), while also tossing an interception.

Davis also completed a pass for 13 yards as the Whitefaces compiled a season-low 200 total yards.
