HSCA tree auction rings up $53,250 By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The 28th annual Hereford Senior Citizens Association’s (HSCA) Festival of Trees Gala and Tree Auction grossed $53,250 in bids on 22 decorated Christmas trees and additional unique Christmas pieces Tuesday. Gaveled as the top grossing tree at the auction was “Doing it Country Style,” adorned with country life trimmings including a windmill fan. That tree was decked by Texas Farm Bureau and elicited a winning bid of $5,000 from Whiteface Ford. “When all of the income from the assorted week-long activities at the festival is eventually tallied, we should see a total raised of close to $100,000,” HSCA executive director Lyn Rayburn said. “All net proceeds are used in the operation of the center, to maintain our senior lunch program, and to support our home-delivered meals program.” Other decorated trees, sponsors, sale amount and buyer included: We Honor Our Veterans: Samaritan Hospice, $1,800 from AZTX Cattle. Suite Dreams: Big Brothers/Big Sisters, $3,000 from Stevens Five Star Car and Truck Center Christmas in Texas: Deaf Smith County Courthouse, $2,000 from Hereford Grain Visions of Sugar Plums: Bluebonnet Elementary School, $2,100 from Hereford Texas Federal

Caviness Beef Packers received a bit of an off-set Tuesday for increased upcoming expenses when the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) Board of Directors approved an incentive package for the local business. The plan is fulfillment of a request by Caviness for HEDC assistance and HEDC’s willing to provide assistance for the company’s expansion of its Hereford production facility. “[The expansion] is bring more jobs and employees to Hereford,” HEDC executive director Wade Hawkins said. “It will put some stress on local housing, but new jobs is something HAWKINS you’re always glad to have coming. “Caviness has been here 50 years. We’re just pleased they decided to stay in Hereford.” In August, Caviness announced a $49 million expansion project that included increasing the Hereford plant’s output by some 50 percent through the addition of infrastructure for a second shift that will add 600 employees. New HEDC board president John Perrin PERRIN questioned city attorney Audie Sciumbato in detail to ensure the agreement met with all legal requirements and mandates needed for HEDC funding to be used before calling for a motion and vote. “It is always good to help a business grow that started here, grew here and has stayed here,” Perrin said. “This helps expand a local business. It also helps the overall economy of the community and fits into the purpose of what we should be doing.” SCIUMBATO The incentive agreement runs just more than two years from Oct. 31, 2019-Dec. 31, 2021. During that time, HEDC will pay Caviness $2,000 for “each new fulltime job created and filled” connected with the addition of the plant’s new second shift. Incentive payments during that span will be made monthly with the total capped at $1.2 million – which equates to $2,000 for each of 600 projected PLEASE SEE HEDC | 3

Hector Murillo Martinez, 47, passed away Saturday Oct. 27, 2018, at University Hospital in Aurora, Colo., with family at his bedside after fighting a battle of pneumonia. His funeral service will be Sunday, Nov. 18 at West Park Cemetery in Hereford. Mr. Martinez was born Nov. 23, 1970 to Ernestina Murillo. During his life, he was a fighter, a hard worker, and loving brother, uncle and father. He is survived by his wife, Debra Gonzales; children Crystal Martinez, DeShilynn Martinez, Deangelo Martinez, and two whose names are unknown; and siblings Juanita Olivas, Maribel Perez, Martina Rodriguez, Ramiro Martinez, Norma Martinez, Irma Martinez, Lorena Aguilar, and Javier Aguilar Jr. He was preceded in death by his mother, Ernestina Murillo Aguilar.

teams provided fodder for rich discussions with his friends during the week. His Christian faith gave him the foundation to become a superior leader in his job and a compassionate family man. As a member of First Baptist Church and BOBs Bible Study Class, he brought his ever-present smile and quiet assurance wherever he was. That innate cheerfulness brought out the best in everyone he knew, for he didn’t believe in having a bad day, especially if he could begin it by watching the sunrise on the pasture and feeling close to God. He leaves behind his loving wife Gladys; children Micki Hicks and husband Jimmy of Pampa, Missy Wilcox and husband Scott of Hereford, and Mitch Merritt of Hereford; grandchildren Sarah Baulch of Hereford, J.T. Baulch and wife Sarah Jean of Boscawen, N.H., Shayla Webb and husband Ace of Canyon, and Shane Wilcox and wife Jennifer of Hereford; and six treasured great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to King’s Manor, 400 Ranger Drive, Hereford, TX, 79045, or to Hereford Satellite Center, 218 N. 25 Mile Ave., Hereford, TX, 79045.

eford, on Thursday, Nov. 15 with Chris Flickinger officiating. Merritt was born Dec. 8, 1936, to G.C. (Preach) Merritt Sr., and Irene Pence Merritt in Midland, but moved to Hereford at age 2, where he began a life-long love with the Whitefaces. Following a successful high school football career as a running back and defensive back, he took his skills to Oklahoma State University, where he had earned a football scholarship. Love called him home, however, as he returned to Hereford to marry his high school sweetheart, Gladys Lee, on Aug. 16, 1958. G.C.’s career as a cattleman took his family to several different towns, but always the call to Hereford pulled them back. He loved being outside, and his golden touch with animals provided a comfortable living for his wife and three children, as well as winning him respect from his employers. It also gave him a wealth of humorous stories with which to regale his friends and family. An avid football and baseball fan, G.C. spent his weekends cheering for his favorite teams – OSU, University of Texas, Dallas, Texas Rangers and Whitefaces. His knowledge of the games and

A HYMN BY WILLIAM D. LONGSTAFF, 1882

Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office

Nov. 11 Paul Lucio, arrested for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements.

Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in him always, and feed on His Word. Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak Forgetting in nothing, His blessing to seek.

Reports Hereford Police Department

Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct, His likeness shall see.

Nov. 13 Theft was reported in the 200 block of Avenue F. Forgery was reported in the 2900 block of East First Street.

Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide; And run not before Him, whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord, And looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.

Nov. 14 Burglary of a motor vehicle was reported at North Progressive Road and 15th Street. Lost property was reported in the 300 block of North 25 Mile Avenue.

Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul, Each thought and each motive beneath His control. Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above. This is a beautiful hymn….and it is calming and reassuring when sung….whether individually or together with a congregation. Even if you don’t sing, then read the words and phrases….and know that you can experience the peace that is available when we listen to, and obey, God.

I am reminded of the verses in I Peter 1: 13-19: “Therefore gird up the

loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY. And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct your selves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot”.

new employees – with payments being subject to certification of the jobs. “This is an economic incentive for creating primary jobs,” Sciumbato said. “It is a payment per job created, and falls right in range with what an economic development corporation does.” There are also provisions in the agreement that it is satisfied if the $1.2 million cap is reached before the Dec. 31, 2021

expiration date or “shall expire and be of no further force or effect” seven days after the 30-day reporting period immediately following Dec. 31, 2021. In the plan, Caviness “certifies that it does not and will not knowingly employ” an undocumented worker, while payments from HEDC will only paid the first time each new position is filled during the agreement period. “We’re not looking at this as making a $1.2 million incentive payment,” Hawkins said, “but rather as a $1.2 million investment in our community.”

4-H inspires Texas youths By Julie Tomascik Texas Farm Bureau

Small town or big city. Dreams grow. They flourish. And develop into a future. Those dreams – and the kids behind them – are inspired by 4-H. An organization for the young and old. Shy and outgoing. Creative and technical. Because there’s something for everyone. And the possibilities are endless. It’s National 4-H Week. A time to celebrate those 4-H members we know and care about. The ones who work day-in and day-out “to make the best better.” Just like their motto says. And they can do it with the many Texas 4-H activities. Interested in the environment? There’s soil judging, ecology, landscape design and more. It’s a chance to get your hands dirty and watch your seeds of knowledge grow. Explore your creative side with photography or videography. Don’t forget about public speaking and theater concepts, like stage designs and performance. Grab a needle and thread to stitch your mark on Texas. And use budget-savvy skills for consumer educa-

tion tasks. Citizenship. Animal projects. Science and technology. There are countless opportunities. And the many different programs all have common roots—4-H members and their leadership skills. They’re our future. The elected officials, teachers, mentors and designers. The ones who will inspire the

next generation. And teach us new tips and tricks. 4-H grows within each member. It grows confidence, resilience, courage and creativity. It grows Texas. 4-H also inspires young and old to learn more and teach others. It inspires creativity and ingenuity. And it inspires kids to do more and be more.

Tip of the Day Dining etiquette rules

Proper dining etiquette has a place whether you’re enjoying a meal at a five-star restaurant, a fast-food joint or at home. While there are some written rules about social etiquette, there also are unwritten rules rooted in courtesy. By following these guidelines, any dining experience can go smoothly. Put down the phone When dining out or attending a party, direct your attention to fellow guests or dining partners and not your devices. Turn off the ringer, resist the urge to check the sports score, wait to text a friend until you’re done, and devote your attention to the meal. Let the host lead The host or hostess is responsible for setting the tone of the meal and ensuring everyone is comfortable. Take a backseat to your host and let him or her guide the meal. Patience is a virtue Restaurant wait times are not an exact science. Restaurant hostesses can offer an estimate, but it’s impossible to say exactly when you’ll be seated. Do not take frustrations out on the staff. If time is of the essence, dine during off-peak hours or visit a less busy establishment. Go sparingly on substitutions Restaurants should be willing to cater to certain requests, especially

if food allergies are a concern. However, do not act like the establishment is your personal kitchen. Make reasonable requests. Be punctual Make and keep reservations, which help keep the flow of the dinner party going smoothly. Arrive at a home on time, as party hosts likely have timed their foods accordingly and you don’t want to delay or spoil the taste and presentation of the food. Keep children in check Dining out with children presents an opportunity to teach them manners. To avoid meltdowns, be sure children are well-rested and have had a snack before arriving. Avoid scenes that disturb other diners; take the child outside to calm down if he or she acts up. Call ahead to make sure a restaurant is child-friendly. For a dinner party at a private residence, the invite usually will indicate if children are invited and is usually addressed as “and family.” Following dining etiquette rules can make meals more enjoyable for everyone.

Whitefaces roll in opener

Lady Herd douses Flames

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The aftermath of a stampede is never pretty. Such was the case Tuesday at Whiteface Gym as the Hereford Lady Whitefaces trampled, stomped, ran over and pulverized the visiting Amarillo Home School Lady Flames, 76-5. In a game where the score was close until the tip and effectively over during warm-ups, the Lady Herd notched their second straight win to improve to 2-1 on the young season. “The quality of the execution in all three games we have played has continued to improve,” first-year Hereford coach Bryan Lintner said. “Implementing completely new offensive and defensive systems does not happen overnight or even in one season. “I tell players that every day we add a brock on top of the others to build our program. We are working to get just a little better than the before.” Those new offensive and defensive systems were evident as the Lady Whitefaces pounded the post and used a tight defense to bolt out of the gate with a 21-0 run before the Lady Flames scored. Turning the game into a laugher, the Lady Herd did not allow a point in the second as they pushed the lead to 47-2.

Saturday November 17, 2018

Pounding the post in a new offense, senior Arely Fraire (32) puts up two of her game-high 14 points in Tuesday’s 76-5 romp. BRAND/John Carson They also held the Lady Flames scoreless in the third quarter of a runningclock second half. A trio reached doubledigit scoring as all but one of the Lady Whitefaces who played registered points.

Making the most of a somewhat make-shift lineup and rotation, the Hereford Whitefaces opened the 2018-19 basketball Tuesday with an 83-37 romp past visiting Amarillo Home School. “They played hard. They all did,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “We did what we want to do with our style of play.” The Flames took their only lead of the night at 3-0 to open the game before the Herd stampeded away. The Whitefaces extended a 23-10, first-quarter lead to 42-18 at intermission before completely dousing the Flames in the third period. Kaleb Larra nailed a trio of 3-pointers and Tanner Frische scored 8 points in the frame as the Herd put up 27 points to push the lead to 69-28. The Whitefaces closed the game on a 9-2 run over the final 3:38 with the final margin their largest lead of the night. “Larra shot really well, and Tanner was aggressive under the basket,” Villegas said. “We’ve got to have that from him all season.” Frische led a trio of Whitefaces in double figures and took game scoring honors with 21 points as all but two of the Herd who played scratched the scorebook. Erik Baca provided additional punch on the block with 15 points as Larra added 14 – 12 in the second half on 4-of-5 shooting from behind the arc. Chris Ball chipped in 8 points for the Herd with Haz Castaneda finishing with 7. Blake Walker and Tony Valle added 6 points each, while Derek Bravo, Kid Flickinger and Parker Collins had 2 points apiece. Only five of the 11 Flames

Herd’s Eric Baka takes a defender baseline for two of his 15 points in Tuesday’s season-opening win. BRAND/John Carson who played scored as Mack Hacker, who played the entire second half with four fouls, led the way with 16 points. Villegas and the Whitefaces were without their full complement of players Tuesday with four getting ready for the football postseason. “Right now, we’re just trying to find the right mix,” Villegas said. “We’re looking at different combinations and seeing what will and will not work." The Whiteface are back on the hardwood Saturday when

they travel to Dalhart for a 12:30 p.m. tip. They remain on the road Tuesday with a visit to Lubbock High. HEREFORD 83, AHS FLAMES 37 score by quarters

Taylor runs to So. Nazarene By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A dichotomy exists at Hereford High School that legitimately borders on the oxymoronic. When one thinks of college athletes the image of a 6-4, 230-pound football player, 6-9 power forward or 6-2 quasichiseled, volleyball player immediately jumps to mind. Compare that with the image of HHS’s Sabbatha Taylor perusing campus in a letter jacket. Judging from the senior’s diminutive physique, the immediate assumption is the big H on the jacket is for UIL academic success, being a student trainer or manager or, the most logical reason for those who don’t know – it belongs to her boyfriend. Toss out assumptions and reconfigure your image of college athletes because after a ceremony Wednesday in the HHS library, Taylor is an official college athlete. The Lady Whiteface cross country star

inked a letter of intent to continue her running career – and education – on the course for Southern Nazarene University. “This is exciting,” Taylor said. “I am so excited to be able to have the opportunity to run at the next level. I never really thought much about a cross country scholarship – especially when I was younger. I was really into basketball in junior high. “I’m glad I chose running.” So is Lady Whiteface cross country and girls track coach Jose Huerta, who has been the beneficiary of one of the Panhandle’s top distaff harriers during the past four years. “She has every attribute you want between her work ethic, leadership and intelligence,” he said. “She is one of those types you want to have on your team. “I was blessed to have worked with her and blessed to have had her on our team.” According to coaches for the NCAA Division II Crimson Storm, Taylor’s times and team intangibles were specifics that PLEASE SEE TAYLOR | 10

bill scoring all of hers in the first half and Claudio notching 6 in the fourth quarter. Four more Lady Whitefaces individually outscored the Lady Flames as Lori Arias, Andrea Valenzuela and Nayeli Acosta added 8 points each and Taytum Stow chipped in 6. Miranda Acosta and Haleigh Barba had 4 points apiece, and Darcy Dodd finished with 3 points. “We need to clean up our offensive execution, work on conditioning and get more consistency from our shooting,” Lintner said. “Those are the main things to work on at the beginning of the season.” The Lady Whitefaces are back on the court Saturday with an 11 a.m. game at Dalhart.

piqued their interest. Taylor said SNU coaches are attempting to rebuild the team and told her she displayed things they were looking for in team members. “She has been the heart and soul of our team for four years,” Huerta said. “If she was there, then everyone knew things would be OK. “Words cannot express what she has meant to the program.” Huerta first noticed Taylor tooling around the Whiteface Stadium track when she was in sixth grade and essentially licked his chops awaiting her arrival for varsity competition. Taylor did not disappoint. Bursting onto the scene during her 2015 freshman

campaign, Taylor won the District 3-5A title, was Region 1 runner-up and finished fourth in the Class 5A State Meet. Her sophomore season picked up without a hitch with Taylor winning the first two meets of the season before things were derailed by a hip injury. Missing more than month, Taylor returned for the 2016 district meet, but missed the medal podium at both district and region while still qualifying for her second straight state meet. Like that somewhat lost season, Taylor finished back in the pack (33rd) at state. Fully healed for 2017, Taylor regained her District 3-5A title and nabbed her third consecutive state meet berth – where she finished eighth. Arguably saving the best for the last, she pretty much blistered this season

with wins in four-of-five, regular-season meets before earning her first District 3-4A championship to lead the Lady Whiteface team to the Region 1 meet. Back on the region podium, Taylor came away with bronze to nab her fourth straight state berth and lead the Lady Whitefaces to a third-place team finish and qualification for the state meet. It was déjà vu in the UIL Class 4A State Meet with the state medalists (Canyon, Decatur, Hereford) mirroring the Region 1 finish. In addition to bringing home a team bronze from state this season, Taylor also finished third individually. “My goal for college is to work hard, make good grades and make the most of the opportunity presented,” Taylor said. “You only get to go through something like this once.”
