A holiday-decorated, storefront façade featuring a pint-sized locked door with curtained window was more than enough to pique the interest of 3-year-old Zachariah Sosa during the Dec. 8 Santa at Mall event. Such a small door must be reserved for youngsters as he tries to open it – or maybe given the time of year, elves. He would never know. BRAND/John Carson
What has become as much of a community space as any public park in town will be seeing tighter restrictions for use moving forward. After being closed for nearly six months, Hereford Independent School District (HISD) has officially re-opened the track around Whiteface Stadium for public use. The track has long been a center of exercise for community members, but its re-opening will also bring a tighter list of do’s and don’ts on its use. “We’re still ironing out some of the restrictions,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “They are mainly about what you can and cannot have on BLANKENSHIP the track. “We need the community’s help to police that. The track is not just HISD’s, it is also [the public’s]. It belongs to and is used by all of us.” HISD closed the track shortly after the end of the 2017-18 school year after the HISD Board of Trustees had approved a repair/replacement measure earlier in the spring. In need of annual repair, the track had become another of the district’s ongoing facility issues. It particularly came to the forefront when teams declined invitations to participate in the annual Hereford Invitational Track Meet last year citing condition of the track. Unsure of the extent of the repair needed until work actually commenced, trustees approved a contingency measure that appropriated as much as $325,000 to cover potential repairs and entire replacement if needed. The result was complete replacement that included a cement base, asphalt surface and track surface. Subsequently, there are restricPLEASE SEE HISD | 3
Local artist's unique fundraiser for 'a kinder world' By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
In the midst of tables bearing holiday decorations, stocking stuffers and potential Christmas gifts at Sugarland Mall’s Santa at the Mall event Dec. 8 stood an easel. In front of the easel, meticulously working on a portrait of the season’s secular star, sat Fonzie Graziano. The idea for the local artist was to sell the painting. However, since then, things have changed. “This past week, I sat and pondered a way in which one person changes the world on his own,” Graziano posted on social media. “I found my answer in the guise of a cliché wisdom – the world is changed one random act of kindness,

one person and one community at a time.” The result of his epiphany is a fundraiser for a pair of local organizations that utilizes his specialized talents in an innovative way. Instead of selling his painting of Santa Claus, Graziano decided to raffle it off with Hereford Food Pantry and Deaf Smith County Crisis Center as beneficiaries. “My goal is to use my talent and platform to support local charity by encouraging my community to donate time or money to the cause of a kinder world.” In addition to taking home the Santa portrait, Graziano announced he would paint a portrait of a person of the winner’s PLEASE SEE ARTIST | 3

tions to using the track that may not have previously been in place. While understanding that residents might take exceptions to some of them, Blankenship said restrictions were put in place for several reasons – including a desire to protect the public’s investment in the new track. “In an effort to give the public more access, we are not issuing any time restrictions for now,” Blankenship said. “If we find that is being abused, we will re-evaluate that decision. “The expectations issued on the new signs at the track came from the company that installed it. These expectations are issued to assist in maintaining the life expectancy of the track.” While some of the restrictions are school district no-brainers – no food or drink, shelled seeds, gum and tobacco products. Others can potentially create conflict with some users of the track. Most notably pets and “anything with wheels” are prohibited. Blankenship defined “anything with wheels”
Replaced and re-opened for public use, the track at Whiteface Stadium also has new restrictions for use following its $325,000 facelift.

Track users are also asked to wear only track or walking shoes while on the surface and to
do walking or running in the outside three lanes. “We’re requesting assistance from the community to abide by these restrictions,” Blankenship said. “We are asking everyone to help with keeping the new track in great shape so that everyone benefits from its use.”

LUBBOCK – Plains Cotton Cooperative Association (PCCA) applauded the final passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. PCCA president and CEO Kevin Brinkley praised the bipartisan effort that includes many of the cotton industry’s top policy priorities. “This has been a long and deliberative process to provide a meaningful safety net for America’s farmers and economic support for our rural communities in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico,” Brinkley said. “This bill, and the work on seed cotton leading up to it, is a huge win for our cotton farmers. We congratulate House Agriculture Committee
Chairman Mike Conaway, Ranking Member Collin Peterson, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts and Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow for reaching a bipartisan agreement and getting this legislation to the finish line. We also appreciate the support of Congressman Jodey Arrington and Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz along with other Cotton Belt Members of Congress.” The new Farm Bill comes at a critical time for many family farmers. “America’s farmers need economic certainty, and safety net provisions such as continued access to risk management tools will help provide it,” said PCCA Chairman Eddie
Smith. “We were pleased when cotton was returned to the commodity title of the 2014 Farm Bill, and we are very happy it will continue in this latest legislation.” PCCA is a marketing cooperative owned by farmers in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico dedicated to supplying sustainably-grown, high-quality cotton fiber around the world. In addition to cotton marketing based in Lubbock, PCCA also owns cotton warehouse facilities in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and develops and offers software programs and networks to local co-op gins that help add more value to our growerowners’ cotton.

Party with a Plan
First and foremost: Plan ahead – be honest with yourself. You know whether you’ll attend a party. If you plan to drink, plan for a sober driver to take you home. Is it your turn to be the designated driver? Take that role seriously, because your friends are relying on you. • Remember that it is never OK to drink and drive. Even if you’ve had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation or a ride service to get home safely. • Download the NHTSA’s SaferRide mobile app. SaferRide allows users to call a taxi or a predetermined friend, and identifies the user’s location so he or she can be picked up. • If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact local law enforcement. • Have a friend who is about to drink and drive? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get them home safely. Remember to play it safe this holiday season and always plan for a sober ride before the festivities begin. If you are buzzed, do not drive — Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving already drunk.” According to the NHTSA, 37,133 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2017, and 29 percent (10,874) of those fatalities occurred in crashes in which a driver had a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit of .08 grams per deciliter. The holidays prove to be especially dangerous to drivers as more people – drivers and pedestrians, alike – are out on the roads. “We want to keep our roads safe this holiday season and help people understand that the only time they should be behind the
wheel is when they are sober,” said Mata. “It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, or how much you weigh, alcohol affects everyone differently and you do not have to be feeling or acting drunk to be too impaired to drive.” Drunk driving isn’t the only risk on the roads. Drug-impaired driving is also an increasing problem on U.S. roadways. If drivers are impaired by any substance, alcohol or drugs, they should not get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Driving while impaired is illegal – period. The bottom line is if you feel different, you drive
different. It’s that simple. Drinking and driving should never be combined. It’s essential to plan a sober ride in advance if the holiday celebration will include alcohol. The alternative could change your life, not to mention the lives of passengers, pedestrians, or of other drivers and passengers nearby. This holiday season, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s Watch UR BAC program, and the NHTSA urge drivers to designate a sober driver before heading out for the evening. For anyone that plans on drinking, plan on not driving.

Stay merry and bright this holiday As the calendar year winds down, the holiday festivities start up. Make sure to stay off Santa’s “naughty” list by following this advice – always choose sober driving, and always plan a safe ride home before you party. To help keep Americans safe on the roads, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) this holiday season to remind all drivers about the dangers of drinking and driving. With holiday festivities and office parties taking place, it’s essential to plan a sober ride home before ever leaving for the event. This holiday season when going out for a night of merry-making, remember – “Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving,” the NHTSA national safety campaign. “The holidays are a time of joy and reflection, but also a time to use extra caution on the roads,” said Deaf Smith County Extension Agent Amalia Mata said. “Unfortunately, alcohol at many holiday events contributes to the number of impaired drivers on our roadways. Help us spread the message that even one drink is one drink too many. If you feel buzzed, you are

Tip of the Day Gift ideas for avid readers
Gift giving is made easier when shoppers are in tune with their loved ones’ interests. Knowing a friend’s or relative’s likes and dislikes can provide a starting point as you begin your holiday shopping. Reading is one interest or hobby that has never gone out of style. People who enjoy reading tend to devour book after book and are always eager for the next installment from their favorite authors. Books and other reading materials can make perfect gifts for anyone with a love for literature. First edition texts Collectors very often are interested in the first edition or first printing of classic books. Publishers may offer only a limited number of books in a first edition or first printing, and such editions tend to be rare. A first edition of a favorite book can make a cherished gift. These books often can be identified by a unique numbering system or even by the words “first edition” or “first printing” on the copyright page. Work with a reputable bookshop or dealer to find expensive and rare prints.
Pet project The annual Child Welfare Angel Tree at First Financial Bank received a boost earlier this week as Merrick Pet Care HR training specialist Janie Vargas and safety coordinator Vivianna Avitia dropped off bags of holiday joy for the effort. Above, from left, First Financial’s Brittney Spruell lends a hand to Vargas and Avitia, along with First Financial’s Yesenia Sanchez, unloading the donation. Right, the effort to brighten the holidays for some local children continues to spread across the lobby at First Financial’s Third Street location. Contributed photo
Digital reading device Some book purists stand by their decisions to only read paper copies of their favorite books, feeling there’s something special or more enjoyable about holding a hardcover or paperback in one’s hands and making progress through paper pages. Others are enamored with the convenience and portability of having an entire library saved on a digital device. E-readers come in different sizes and offerings from various manufacturers. The Kindle® from Amazon and Nook® from Barnes & Noble are two of the more popular
stand-alone reading tablets. E-reader apps also are available through Apple and Amazon to work on various mobile devices. A tablet can be a welcome gift, especially for a reader who appreciates on-demand reading material. Protective case Help readers protect their tablets with protective cases. These run the gamut from the utilitarian to the decorative. Some tablet cases are designed to look like books themselves, with a soft interior cushion for the e-reader and a hard shell to keep it safe. Book accessories Readers need their own collections of accessories that cater to their love of the written word. Look for clocks made out of literary volumes, lamps that look like a stacked book collection or framed photos of favorite book covers. Some publishers offer printed works reissued in decorative covers to make the books an eye-catching addition to any home’s décor. Someone who lends out favorite works may like a personalized library embosser, which will imprint a book page with the name of the person loaning out his or her collection of books. Book tote Whether they are carrying books back to the library or traveling with an e-reader in tow, avid readers might appreciate a functional tote bag. Order pre-printed literary tote bags or customize a tote based on the tastes of the gift’s recipient. It even can feature photographs or the jacket of a favorite book. When gifting readers, there are many ideas that can make welcome presents.

Whitefaces off fast at Childress tourney From Staff Reports
A pair of tight wins has the Hereford Whitefaces off to a fast start in the three-day Childress Bobcats Invitational Tournament. The Herd opened play in the tournament on Thursday and moved into Friday’s bracket play with a 2-0 mark. Tanner Frische scored a team-high 14 points as the Whitefaces held off Memphis, 49-48, in their opener Thursday. In the nightcap, the Herd took out Odessa, 61-57, behind 19 points from Kaleb Larra and 10 from Jordan Martinez, who has just come over from the football team. Friday’s tournament slate had the Whitefaces facing Borger at 10:30 a.m., with respective winner’s and loser’s bracket games slated at 1:30 p.m. Placement games make up Saturday’s tournament schedule with a 9 a.m. game for seventh place and 10:30 a.m. tilt for fifth. The semifinals losers will meet at noon to determine third and fourth place with the tournament championship game set to tip at 1:30 p.m. The Whitefaces entered
tournament following an 83-48 loss to visiting Frenship on Tuesday. The Tigers methodically put the game away by winning every quarter. They used a 5-0 spurt to end the half to take a 37-37 advantage into the half before extending the lead to 64-44 after three quarters. The Tigers pulled out of view in the final period with a 19-4 frame that saw them lead by as many as 38 points at 83-45 with 15 seconds to play. Larra canned a trey with 4 ticks left to provide the final margin. Every Tiger who played scored with three finishing in double figures. Haz Castaneda led a pair of Whitefaces in double digits with 16 points that included 12 in the first half. Martinez added 10, and no other Whiteface had more than 4 points. The Whitefaces close out the pre-Christmas with a Tuesday visit to Pampa before traveling to Clovis, N.M. on Friday. On Thursday-Saturday, Dec. 27-29, the Whitefaces will take part in a tournament at Monhans before the regular season resumes Jan. 1 with a 6 p.m. tip against Lubbock Monterey.
When it came to postseason District 3-4A football accolades where a squad finished in the four-team race was not the most important factor as the Hereford Whitefaces landed the most honorees when the All-District teams were announced earlier this week. Despite finishing third in the district race, the Herd had a total of 19 recognitions among the district’s first (11) and second teams (8) – the most of any 3-4A school. District runner-up Canyon was next with 13 honorees, while district champion Dumas had 12 and Pampa had 10. “We are extremely proud of the group of young men who were rewarded with acknowledgements for their efforts on our football team this year,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “Our team played extremely hard on all occasions this year, and we were proud of their accomplishments. As coaches, we are thankful for such great overall effort. “There are, of course, several young men who played really welly for us that did not get elected to the all-district teams. Sev-

After leading District 3-5A in rushing and scoring for 2017, Dixon cranked it up a notch for his senior season to finish with 2,122 yards (6.2 per carry) and 33 rushing touchdowns. He was also third on team with 17 receptions for 142 yards and 2 TDs. Winning the 3-4A rushing and scoring titles this season, Dixon was named Offensive Player of the Year – along with Canyon QB

Team-leading receiver Ray Ponce (47 receptions, 951 yards, 10 TDs) is among the first-team honorees, as is junior punter Tye Davis. The final first-team offense selection spent most of the season on the sidelines, but was impressive enough that coaches from Canyon, Dumas and Pampa unanimously voted Whiteface Dodge DeLozier as an honorary first-team quarterback. A second-team 3-5A selection in 2017, DeLozier only played three games this season before a knee injury ended the senior four-sport letterman’s athletic year. Still, DeLozier finished as the Herd’s No. 2 passer – hitting 31-of-53 passes for
Despite battling injuries throughout the season, Whiteface captains, from left, Christian Guerrero, Seth Dixon, Carson Altman and Dodge DeLozier all earned first-team 3-5A recognitions for 2018.

chart when preseason practice began, Grajeda – a returning starter at WR and DB – was force into action under center through injury and attrition. Starting the final seven games of the 14-game season that included a postseason run to the Class 4A Elite Eight, Grajeda led the Herd with 840 yards on 63of-122 passing with 8 TDs and 6 interceptions. Mendez was the team’s No. 2 receiver with 20 catches for 210 yards, 3 touchdowns and a twopoint conversion. On defense, the Whitefaces finished with four first- and four second-team selections. Leading the defensive charge, Grajeda added to his second-team QB honor with first-team recognition at cornerback. End Carson Altman (67 tackles), inside linebacker Orion Ramirez and safety Jake Kelso (44 tackles, 3 interceptions) join him on the 3-4A All-District first-team defense.

Whiteface tackle Landon Paz, outside linebacker Mitchell Carnahan and inside linebacker Jaden Cano were also named to the second-team. According to coach DeLozier, Cano – who was 3-5A Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2017 – lost out on first-team honors because both Ramirez had
slightly more impressive stats. Ramirez finished second in tackles (108) while leading the Herd in sacks (6), tackles for loss (12) and forced fumbles. Cano was Whitefaces leading tackler this season with 127 and just trailed Ramirez in tackles for loss (10) and sacks (3). Carnahan finished with 26 tackles this season with 3 sacks, 4 tackles for loss and an interception.
