Holidays officially kick off Monday

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Lights are strung, trees are trimmed and all awaits sunset Monday for the official arrival of the holiday season to Hereford and Deaf Smith County.

The season gets its official start Monday with the annual Celebration of Lights around and in Dameron Park.

A joint venture between the City of Hereford and Deaf Smith County Chamber of Commerce, the Celebration of Lights is a two-part event that features a chamber-sponsored Christmas parade that is followed by city-sponsored festivities in Dameron Park.

“We already have 21 entries for the parade, and it’s not even Friday,” chamber executive director Sid Shaw said late Thursday afternoon. “It’s looking like there is going to be good participation, and we should have another good parade.”

The annual lighted Christmas parade gets festivities started at dark Monday – approximately 6 p.m. – and will follow the traditional parade route off Avenue K onto East Park Avenue and left onto Main Street.

With as few as 18 parade entries and as many as 35 during the years, Shaw is expecting between 25-30 entries when the procession lines up this year.

One thing that will be noticeably missing from this year’s parade will be the sound of live music.

The Hereford High School (HHS) Mighty Maroon Marching Band, an annual mainstay of the parade, and Hereford Junior High School bands will not take part due to a scheduling conflict Monday evening with UIL region competition.

Once the parade makes its way down Main Street, the city’s portion of the evening takes over with festivities at Dameron Park.

Hereford Mayor Tom Simons will speak before the HHS choir performs seasonal numbers to trumpet the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

The jolly old elf will then flip the switch to light the city Christmas tree at Dameron and illuminate the park in its holiday dressing.

Following the lighting of the tree, Santa and the missus will visit will holiday revelers before heading back north to complete their holiday preparations.

“We’re expecting the usual good turnout,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “The only thing is it could be danged cold.”

Weather forecasts for Monday do call for the day’s high to barely reach the low 40s, however, the possibilPLEASE SEE HOLIDAYS | 5

Reclassification is showing its effect on Hereford Independent School District (HISD) as trustees confronted some of the cost of that during its Nov. 19 meeting.

Biennial UIL reclassification in February dropped Hereford High School (HHS) from a long tenure in Class 5A back down to Class 4A. The move came after HHS administrators and coaches – as well as HISD officials – lamented on classification inequities since HHS was one of the five smallest Class 5A schools in the state.

While reclassification leveled the literal and metaphorical playing fields for HHS students in athletics and academics, the results have been as school officials expected – success.

Thus, HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram presented trustees with the distinct prospect that an increase to the budget line item “Beyond District Expenses” will be needed.

Ingram explained the line item as expenses incurred for student participation in athletic and academic events beyond the district level.

Translated, that is the cost of athletic teams taking part in playoffs and academic teams moving to area, regional and state competitions.

Auction sweetens playground pot

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

Youngsters at King’s Manor Child Care will have a new fence around their play area and a sweet deal for their playground equipment thanks to the success of the ninth annual King’s Manor Dessert Auction.

The Nov. 20 event, a traditional preface to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, garnered just desserts to the tune of $24,000 in bids on cakes, pies, rolls and other offerings.

The top tempter of the evening was a toasted almond toffee cake provided by Ruth and Herschel Black that brought a bid of $1,600 from Cindy Black.

Following closely was a winning bid of $1,500 on a carrot cake created by Linda Minchew, bought by Dr. John Gregg.

A cherry pie from Stoney and Karen Gleisner fetched $1,400 from Dr. Gregg; a German Chocolate cake from the oven of Adelle Clements garnered a $1,200 winning bid from First National Bank; and a chocolate cake with chocolate icing crafted by Becky Fry brought $1,100 from Her-

eford Texas Federal Credit Union.

Eliciting a $1,000 winning bid from Mark Collier was a Jack Daniels pecan pie made

by Cody Carrell.

Several desserts lured $900 winning bids. They included a Brenda Fuentes Italian cream cheese cake bought by First Bank Southwest, a Martha Paetzold pecan pie bought by Steve Olson, a fudge layer cake from Cindy Black bought by Mendez and Mullins Funeral Home, an Oreo cookies and cream cake from Becky Gregg bought by Chandler Insurance Agency, and a German chocolate cake prepared

by Vicki Higgins, bought by the Celebration Sunday School Class of First United Methodist Church.

Eliciting $800 bids were Jo Ochs’ homemade caramel cakets, a salted caramel cheese cake from Sharon Hodges, Suzie Cluck’s Amaretto bundt cake, a red velvet marble bundt cake from Linda Cumpton, and a Texas pecan praline cake made by Valerie Artho.

In Memory of...

Mary F. Cowley 1924-2018

Quentin “Pete” Curtis 1928-2018

Laura Walker 1926-2018

Mary “Frances” Cowley was born on July 26, 1924 in Cairo, Ill., to Walter and Maxie Neighbors Means.

She moved to Oklahoma at the age of 4. She graduated from Ocina High School as valedictorian in 1943.

She worked in a smalltown cafe, when a goodlooking young man ordered a cup of coffee.

She refilled his cup several times and finally he asked her, “May I take you home?” Thus, began a courtship which led to a marriage on Aug. 10, 1943 that lasted 68 years.

They moved to Earth in 1949, then in 1965 to Hereford. She was a farmer’s wife and substitute teacher for 19½ years. Her main role in life was a devoted wife, mama and grandma.

She was a member of the First Baptist Church. She loved music, poetry, singing and all of us.

Favorite Bible verse: John 14: “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God believe also in me.”

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband “Buddy”; son Charles; and daughter Carolyn. She is survived by son Denis Cowley and wife Doris of South Padre Island; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and one son-in-law.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Samaritan Hospice, 426 Main St, Hereford, TX, 79045.

P.S.: For those of you that knew my mother, she wrote her own obituary to make sure no survivor might mess it up.

Memorial service for Mary Cowley will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 1 at Hereford Heritage Funeral Home with the Rev. Jacob Larra officiating.

Quentin “Pete” Curtis, 90, of Hereford, passed away Monday, Nov. 26, 2018 in Amarillo. Funeral services will be Saturday at 1 p.m., at Mendez and Mullins Family Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Ken Varner officiating. Private family graveside service will follow. Arrangements are under direction of Mendez and Mullins Family Funeral Home of Hereford.

Pete was born June 27, 1928 in Portales, N.M., to Melvin and Minnie (Bailey) Curtis. He grew up and attended school in Forrest, N.M. Prior to moving to Hereford, he lived in Durango, Colo., from 1952-64. He has been a resident of Hereford since 1964, helping build and work for Holly Sugar for 30-plus years, then later working for Taylor and Sons.

Pete served at Hereford Senior Citizens for many years. He loved to dance, hunt and fish and was a very hard worker. Pete raised quarterhorses, moved many herds of cattle, and he enjoyed making people laugh.

Those left to cherish his memories are his children, Bryan Curtis and wife Martha of Plainview, Forrest Curtis, Becky Curtis Ray and Jimmy Curtis, all of Hereford, and Quincy Curtis and wife Tarabeth of Amarillo; grandchildren Richard Curtis, Kenneth Curtis, Cody Curtis, Kathlene Curtis, and Matt Curtis; and great-grandchildren Zoey Hill, Jessica Curtis, Brayden Hill, Haley Curtis, Riley Curtis, and Kinsley Curtis.

Pete was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Dorman Curtis and Cordell Curtis; and granddaughter Kasey Curtis Hill.

Go online to sign the guestbook at www.mendezandmullins.com.

Laura Walker, 92, a homemaker, went to be with our Lord on Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018, in Fort Worth.

Funeral is 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 at First Baptist Church in Decatur with burial in Oaklawn Cemetery. Pastor Ronnie Brooks will officiate. Pallbearers include Eric Ross, Ronald Willis, Jonathan Ross, Brison Robertson, Donald Willis and Joe Driver.

Laura was born on June 10, 1926, to Oscar and Thressa (Brooks) Gardner in Dallas. She was united in marriage to William “Bill” Walker in 1955, in Hereford. Laura was a member of St John Baptist Church in Decatur.

She was also a member of the Eastern Star.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; daughter Frances E. Ross; two brothers; and two sisters.

Those left behind to cherish her memory are sons Jerry W. Ross and wife Heidi of Florida, and Charles L. Ross and wife Anita of Decatur; daughters Jonnie Walker Martin and husband William of Port Arthur, and Ruth Walker of Decatur; five grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; brother Charles T. Gardner and wife Donna of Georgia; sister Johnnie M. McGruder of Missouri; numerous nieces and nephews; and and a host of friends.

Memorials may be made to American Red Cross.

Arrangements are under direction of Hawkins Funeral Home of Decatur.

News/Public Record Officials believe fatigue at root of one-vehicle fatality From Staff Reports

The fourth person of the year has been killed on a Deaf Smith County road after the Texas Department of Traffic Safety (DPS) reported a traffic fatality Tuesday north in the northeastern part of the county.

According to reports from DPS Sgt. Cindy Barkley, a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox was traveling south on FM 809 about 11 miles north of U.S. 60 around 1 a.m., when the vehicle veered off the road.

The report added the driver overcorrected steering, causing loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle rolled into the barrow ditch and struck a utility pole.

The driver, 27-year-old Kayla Thomas of Canyon, was pronounced dead

on the scene by Deaf Smith County Justice of the Peace Karen Boren.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident, according to reports, and Thomas was wearing a seatbelt.

Officials believe Thomas fell asleep at the wheel, but the crash remains under investigation.

The fatality is the fourth on Deaf Smith County roads in 2018 and the second involving a person from outside the county.

The fatal collision was the first reported on FM 809 in more than four years.

In addition to the four fatalities on local roads this year – two involving county residents – there have been two Deaf Smith County residents killed in traffic accidents outside Deaf Smith in 2018.

Shaw said the chamber has no specific contingency plans about the parade concerning the weather except to follow the city’s lead in either moving forward, cancelling or rescheduling should the weather not cooperate.

If nothing more than the predicted 1-3 inches arrives, Hanna said the annual Celebration of Lights will proceed as planned.

“If there is a significant amount of snowfall or ice, then we will make that decision [on festivities] if needed,” he added.

“We budgeted $50,000 for it last year and ended up spending more than $70,000,” Ingram said. “We budgeted for 2018-19 what we spent last year ($70,800), but I believe we will exceed that.”

As of the Nov. 19 meeting, Ingram reported more than $30,000 in beyond district expenses have already been paid out for 2018-19.

The drop from 5A to 4A has been most evident in athletics, where extended postseason success is becoming more common.

With the move to Class 4A, HHS has already seen its tennis team advance four rounds into the playoffs to the state Sweet 16 and volleyball team do the same thing – that included a region quarterfinal match in Artesia, N.M. In addition, the Lady Whiteface cross country team qualified for both the region and state meets this year before finishing as bronze medalist in both.

On top of that, the Hostile Herd was still toiling on the gridiron Friday as they reached the third round of football playoffs and state Sweet 16, while the Mighty Maroon Marching Band is awaiting regional competition.

“We want to keep you informed of this so you are not surprised when [the need for more funding] comes up in the future,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said to trustees.

8 Lady Herd rally comes up short

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

They knocked on the door, but couldn’t get it open Tuesday as the Hereford Lady Whitefaces saw a fourth-quarter comeback fall short in a 51-46 loss to visiting Plainview.

Losing for the second time in the past three games, the Lady Herd drops to 4-3 on the season.

Backcourt pressure crimped the Lady Whitefaces throughout.

After a 4-2 second quarter allowed the Lady Bulldogs to take a 20-18 lead into intermission, the pressure did what it needed over the final half of the third period.

Leading 24-22 with 4:00 to go in quarter, Plainview stretched the lead to 3627 by the end of the period.

The Lady Dogs were up 42-33 with 4:34 to play when the Lady Herd started clawing back.

Andrea Valenzuela converted a 1-and-1 before Lori Arias could not convert back-to-back, threepoint play opportunities that still pulled the Lady Whitefaces to within 42-39 with 2:25 left.

The Lady Herd got to

within three two more times – the final with 13 ticks remaining – but could get no closer.

With 8 points in the final period, Arias was the only Lady Whiteface in double figures with 12 points.

Taytum Stow and Nayeli Acosta added 9 points each with Stow scoring all hers in the second half and all of Acosta’s points coming on 3-pointers.

Darcy Dodd chipped in 7 points for the Lady Herd, while Haleigh Barba finished with 3.

Valenzuela, Brianna Claudio and Arely Fraire rounded out the Hereford scoring with 2 points each.

The Lady Whitefaces were back in action Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the annual Shallowater tournament.

They return home Tuesday to host Dumas before taking part in a weekend tournament at Dimmitt.

Freshman Taytum Stow’s play at the net earned her District 3-4A Newcomer of the Year honors this season. BRAND file photo

Postseason success was reflected in postseason accolades as the Hereford Lady Whitefaces had a total of eight players earn 2018 3-4A All-District volleyball honors.

A runner-up finish in the league race, the Lady Herd advanced to the Region 1 tournament for the fourth consecutive year before their season ended in the region semifinals against 3-4A champion Canyon.

“Overall, Hereford had a great showing at the district meeting,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We had several kids who were nominated and selected for all-district, and that makes you proud as a coach.”

Foerster had plenty to be proud of from a squad that rebounded from a 3-15 start to finish the season at .500 and go four rounds deeps in the playoffs.

Lady Whitefaces swept the top awards with senior Carmen Flood being named District 3-4A MVP and freshman Taytum Stow as Newcomer of the Year.

Flood led the team with 440 kills this season and added another 25 aces. Defensively, she second on the team with 135 blocks.

In district play, the middle

hitter averaged 11 kills and 3 blocks per match while accounting for more than 10 points per match.

“Carmen had a dominating year in district,” Foerster said. “The coaches in our district were impressed with her because she could hit the ball from anywhere, and that is rare for a middle hitter.

“She has contributed great skill to our team, but over that, her work ethic and heart will be irreplaceable.

She is a great kid to coach, and I look forward to her future.”

Although Foersters admits Flood will be “irreplaceable,” some of that trepidation is soothed by Stow, who burst onto the scene this season.

The 6-1 freshman was second on the team in kills with 320, while posting a teamhigh 150 blocks.

For the season, she averaged 9 kills and 4 blocks per match.

“Taytum has a very bright future as a volleyball player and Lady Whiteface,” Foerster said. “She is truly one of the best newcomers in the state.”

Three Lady Whitefaces were named the All-District first team.

Leading that contingent is sophomore Rainey Aven, who literally filled the stat sheet this season.

Sports Bulldogs too much for Herd

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Although they did not wilt and remained within striking distance, the Hereford Whitefaces still came up short Tuesday in a 77-70 loss to visiting Plainview in non-district hardwood action.

In dropping their fourth in a row, the Herd fell to 1-4 on the young season.

“We played hard,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “The level of competition was tough, and we were still in it. There is lots of good to come from this. The biggest is we hung in there and fought.”

The Whitefaces could have let the game get away from them throughout most of the first half.

After falling behind 17-3 to open the game, the Herd trimmed it to 24-17 after the first, but found themselves in a 38-24 hole with 4:34 to go in the half.

Tony Valle scored 13 seconds later before Tanner Frische tallied the first of his 8 points in an 18-6 Herd run that pulled them within 44-42 just 14 before the break.

The Bulldogs pushed a 46-42 halftime lead to 58-51 after three, then opened the final period on an 11-4 spurt to take a 69-55 lead with 6:11 remaining.

The Whitefaces began chipping away, and when Haz Castaneda scored off a steal, the Herd was within 76-70 with 1:02 left.

The Dogs played keep away for much of the rest of the way to take the win.

Eight of the nine Whitefaces who played scratched the scorebook with four finishing in double digits.

Kaleb Larra drained a trio of first-quarter 3-pointers on the way to 17 points in leading the Herd.

Castaneda also hit three treys and scored 11 in the second quarter to finish with 13 points, while Frische scored 8 of his 10 points in the second.

Erik Baca added 10 points for the Whitefaces that included a 7-of-8 night from the foul line in the fourth quarter.
