Clerk charges pending
INSIDE
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
In an ironic twist, the Deaf Smith County (DSC) District Attorney’s office was expected to file a pair of charges Tuesday with the DSC Clerk of Court against county clerk Imelda DeLaCerda. DSC District Attorney Jim English said charges of failure to identify and no driver’s license will be filed against DeLaCerda, 55.

He said the no license offense – a Class C misdemeanor – could feasibly be adjudicated in Hereford Municipal Court and satisfied by paying a fine.

“Hamilton,” starring Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry & Jasmine Cephas Jones (from left), leads pack of nominees at The 70th Annual Tony Awards, airing Sunday on CBS.
‘Hamilton’ expected to dominate at CBS’ 70th Annual Tony Awards presentation By John Crook © Zap2it
The Broadway musical blockbuster “Hamilton,” LinManuel Miranda’s audacious and iconoclastic chronicle of the life of Alexander Hamilton, is the odds-on favorite to prevail during The 70th Annual Tony Awards, airing live in most markets Sunday, June 12, on CBS. From New York’s Beacon Theater, CBS late-night
host James Corden hosts the ceremonies, which will include performance highlights from nominated musicals and plays. Since it opened on Broadway last August, “Hamilton,” which stars Renée Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo and Jasmine Cephas Jones, has become a pop-culture reference point, shorthand for the kind of theatrical megahit everyone wants to see
but few can get tickets for. The show racked up a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations, including best musical, with three nods for Miranda as the title star as well as the creator of the book, music and lyrics. Counting Miranda, seven members of the “Hamilton” cast are up for Tonys. Among them, the most familiar face to many Tony viewers probably will be Goldsberry, who played
devious assistant State’s Attorney Geneva Pine on “The Good Wife” for much of its run. In the Tony race, she’s up for best featured actress in a musical for her performance as Alexander Hamilton’s sister-in-law, Angelica Schuyler. Angelica and her sister Eliza Hamilton often don’t merit even a footnote in some history books, but the musical celebrates their quick

wit and keen intellectual curiosity. “I think sometimes, especially with young girls, there is an assumption of a shallowness or superficiality to their motivations,” Goldsberry says. “These women are out looking to be challenged by a powerful mind that would match them. I don’t know that we have heard that story told about our founding mothers.”
“Hamilton” has managed to reach across demographic lines to connect with both older, more traditional Broadway audiences and younger theatergoers who are fans of hip-hop and rap, chiefly because Miranda’s score embraces multiple styles, as musically varied as its cast is ethnically diverse. Goldsberry says she likes to think of “Hamilton” as a blend of opera and mix-tape.

After a two-year hiatus, Independence Day fireworks will return to Hereford for 2016 following an announcement last week by the Deaf Smith County Chamber of Commerce. Since the last July 4 fireworks display in 2013, officials have confronted numerous logistical problems over dates and costs that resulted in the tradition being halted. “The chamber of commerce is planning to resume the fireworks presentation his year,” chamber executive director Sid Shaw said in a letter to members and local businesses. “As you know, in the past, we have been subjected to the first Saturday in July as our [fireworks] date. This has proven to be inadequate. “Since we have been unable to find a company to fire our show on [July 4] every year, we have now moved in a different direction.” The chamber has contracted Leonard-based Pyrotex to fire a show in Hereford every year on July 3. Shaw said Pyrotex, which also fires Independence Day shows in Lubbock and Plainview, presented the best opportunity to provide a quality show with a consistent date. With a consistent date in hand, the next key item is paying for the show – not only this year, but in the future. In the past, the chamber has used its Community Publicity & Promotions fund to offset fireworks expenses, in PLEASE SEE FIREWORKS | 3A

Hereford, county getting some ‘good’ rain By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor While there is no such thing as bad rain in the Panhandle, there is good rain. During the past week, Hereford and Deaf Smith County have experienced some of that as the area has received more than a half-inch and as much as 1.5 inches of rain. Thankful for any rain received, most rain during this time of year comes in bursts and sudden downpours where an inch or more can fall in a matter of minutes.
Subsequently, these storms “First, it really subdues the fire come and go in a hurry. threat.

With Deaf Smith County AgriLife Extension Agent Rick Auckerman out of town and unavailable for comment, the exact impact of recent rains on local agriculture is unknown.
