Proudly Serving The High Plains Since 1901

Staying in line with similar-sized communities in the region, the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) Board of Directors decided upon a sal-

ary range as it ramps up the search for a new executive director.

The move came during the board’s most-recent meeting on March 14.

“This gives us direction on interviewing people,” board president Cody Chandler said. “We now

have a salary range when we reach out to people.”

The board has set the starting salary for a new director at $60,000$80,000 per year.

Although significantly less than the more than $95,000 per year budgeted for former direc-

tor Michael Kitten, the decision for that range was not a difficult one to make.

“We researched other towns of our size and found that was the salary range [for their economic development directors],” Chandler said.

“That salary range will definitely make us competitive. All the resumes we have received would fall into that salary category.”

It will not do much for this year’s event, but the 2019 Hereford Invitational Track Meet will be run on a new surface after a bid for the work was approved by the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees during its regular meeting Monday.

The vote came after trustees discussed the issue during its February meeting – at which time the dire state of portions of the track were revealed – and bids had been solicited to ascertain potential costs.

The track’s overall condition was further highlighted when one of the regular competitors in the annual Hereford track meet – Randall High School – withdrew from this year’s meet specifically because of the track’s condition.

BLANKENSHIP The overall problem for HISD officials was how extensive the track repairs would be.

To solve it, solicited bids were required to include a price for resurfacing, a separate price for replacing the track’s sublayer and a third price for patching the existing sublayer.

“We wanted to get three quotes, so we could have a maximum amount for you to see,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said to trustees. “We’re hopeful that resurfacing is all we will need, but we won’t know that until the sublayer is examined.”

HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram reported there were four companies interested in bidding, but only three were received after one lost is membership on the state Buy Board.

Although its sublayer-replacement quote was the highest of the three, HelPLEASE SEE HISD | 6

7th Blessing of the Bikes set

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

As spring comes on the throaty rumble of Harleys becomes more commonplace on highways and byways as bikers take to area roads, and unfortunately, so do accidents involving motorcycles their riders, and first responders seeing to their safety.

Accordingly, First United Methodist Church of Hereford will host its seventh Blessing of the Bikes April 8 at its parking lot at Fifth and Miles.

The event is open to bikers and first responders from throughout the area, who are invited to come in their riding gear or uniform.

Activities will begin with a breakfast of eggs,

bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, juice and coffee, served by FUMC’s Methodist Men in the church’s Fellowship Hall at Fifth and Miles at 7:45 a.m.

At 8:40 a.m. Rev. Kevin Bushart, pastor of FUMC Hereford will conduct a blessing service including a short message of hope and a prayer with each biker and their machine, as well as first responders and their vehicles. In the event of inclement weather the blessing service will be held indoors. All participants will receive a gift from the church.

Afterwards, bikers and first responders are invited to stay or return to FUMC for the 10:45 a.m. worship service and are welcome in their riding gear and uniforms.

“We especially invite bikers and first responders from all over the area to join us as we ask a blessing for their safety and well-being on the road and on the job. We usually have around 40 bikers and all kinds of machines from Harleys, Trikes, Yamahas, and Suzukis on down to pedal bikes, plus fire trucks, ambulances, and police vehicles. You name it we have prayed over it,” says Rev. Bushart.

Bikers or first responders with questions or seeking more information may contact FUMC Hereford at 806-3640770. Check the church’s Facebook page at HerefordTXFUMC , or the churchWebsite at www. herefordmethodist.com.

"Strength, a powerful word that defined Adela Naranjo. She was a woman who was never promised a tomorrow, a woman who had to fight most of her life. At the age of 39, she began the war with dialysis, a war with the odds. She was always at battle with her own body. It didn't matter how it looked, she always found a way to get up and keep fighting for her children and her family. Even against the odds, she managed to make it to the later years, meeting her grandchildren and even her great-grandchildren. Forgiveness was her biggest attribute. She loved everyone regardless of their faults and actions. It didn't matter if the skies were gray and faces were down, she always knew how to how to make you smile. She was

everyone's best friend. As her time came near, she knew all the lives she'd impacted on her journey, but she also knew she was fighting a losing battle. She always knew the day would come, and she would be ready to leave. Adela was a blessing to all our lives. Those who got to know her, got to spend their life loving and cherishing every moment they had with her.

She may be gone from this world, but she will never leave our hearts or our lives. May you live the rest of eternity peacefully and pain free."

OPINION

Ordinary People

Bombing suspect ends life as officers approach

The courage of very ordinary people is all that stands between us and the dark.

– Pam Brown, Australian poet It began, as it always does, with the little things. Bite-sized changes swallowed, compromises made, tiny seeds of suspicion sewn, a little more control applied, a little less independence kept. Drip by drip, freedoms great and small slipped down the great national drain to empower a master manipulator.

There just was no time to think, to reflect, on all the continuous adjustments. Folks’ minds were so diverted by the continuous chaos and perceived enemies, within and without, real and imagined. Ordinary people were simply too distracted by the frenzied daily episodes to ponder the larger fundamental things at stake. Hardly any stood in defense of the little losses. Those who did disappeared.

They didn’t want to make trouble, to be labeled as alarmists. It wasn’t the habit of good citizens to protest, to resist. Despite the pervasive uncertainty, no hard proof of wrong-doing existed. Self-deceived, the people took hundreds of little steps down an everdarkening road, their eyes gradually adjusting, so they wouldn’t be shocked by the next level of debasement.

ALL IN Kerrie Womble Steiert They waited for the utterly shocking deed, the last straw. Then they would act.

But by the time the atrocities started, it was too late. At this point, real fears of reprisal guaranteed their sorry, silent collaboration.

In his book, The Death of Expertise, author Tom Nichols examines a societal rejection of established knowledge, including world history, and issues a warning about the stability and survival of modern democracy in The Information Age. Rather than making us better educated, the media overload has created an army of angry and ill-informed citizens who demand equal footing with experienced intellectuals.

I recently heard a millennial declare, in vapid earnestness, that he had no interest in anything that happened before he was born— an epic day, to be sure—because history was not all that important. In effect, the universe began with his first breath. Such limited connection to the past and unawareness of the world at large seems to reflect a spreading state of blissful ignorance.

History cares not whether we know or heed her lessons. Like an ageless teacher, she's happy to repeat our schooling, even when the consequences can be brutal for us. The educational website, Facing History, Facing Ourselves, studies the impacts and crossroads of past events, places and people. The parallels to current headlines can be unsettling.

Decades ago, conservative politicians granted power to an immoral bully. Because the wild card candidate could deliver a coveted base of voters, elected leaders convinced themselves he could be managed. They knew him to be a loose cannon, but he had awakened the populace with his promises of greatness, through tempestuous rallies and brimstone speeches.

There was emphasis on winning, triumphing over enemies, restoring the national pride and glories of yesteryear. Appealing to the hearts and minds of ordinary people, country was to be loved above all else, creating a unified, national community. Military buildup was trumpeted as a sword-rattling sign of might and supremacy. Besotted with patriotism, the new president enraptured crowds with hate-filled rhetoric, giving ordinary people permission – and at times encouragement – to mistreat those deemed as unworthy outsiders.

With its growing power unchecked, a cruel regime of avowed nationalists rose up to intimidate individuals. Isolation from others served as a deterrent to action, weakened personal confidence. The nation, its principles and the community changed rapidly, deteriorating into a society governed by loathing and mistrust.

Intellectuals, career professionals and civil servants who failed to pass loyalty tests were replaced by cronies, "yes men" who trampled the rule of law. Bedrock institutions – the free press, court system, justice department, diplomacy, law enforcement – were reviled and condemned. For the sake of the great realm, citizens ceded their individual rights in a blanket acceptance of rule without responsibility. Eventually, soldiers who once swore allegiance to the Constitution and a nation governed by laws, made a sacred oath of "unconditional obedience" to one man, their supreme leader.

With the support of parliament, depraved guardians and ordinary people, Adolph Hitler systematically dismantled the democracy of Germany through a dense web of lies and propaganda. On Aug. 19, 1934, citizens voted in their last free election, electing him President—an unprecedented consolidation of power in the short history of the unstable republic.

The future is strongly shaped by the everyday decisions of common individuals. Ordinary people living in a self-governing society allow tyrants to rise through the choices we make, whether we voice our concerns, cast our ballots, or abdicate our responsibility by doing nothing. It is up to us, ordinary people, to stand between dictators and our fragile democracy. History proves: The people, through their actions or apathy, create the government they deserve.

AUSTIN – The primary suspect in a string of terrorist-style bombings died in his pickup truck on March 21.

Mark Anthony Conditt, 23, of Pflugerville, detonated explosive devices in his truck on an Interstate 35 access road in Round Rock as two law enforcement officers approached the vehicle on foot. One officer was injured in the explosion. The other officer reportedly fired a rifle at the suspect.

Intensive search and surveillance operations began on March 2, when a bomb later traced to Conditt exploded and killed an Austin man who picked up what appeared to be a normal package delivered to his residence. Similar packages exploded in the Austin area on March 12, one killing a teen and injuring his mother, and another injuring a 75-yearold woman. On March 18, two men were injured by a tripwire-triggered improvised explosive device in Austin.

Abbott said his office has provided nearly $1 million STATE over the last two years to CAPITAL enhance the capabilities of the Austin police depart- HIGHLIGHTS ment's bomb squad. He Ed Sterling said the grants provided for purchases of bomb disposal robots, robotic arms and bomb suits that allow technicians to approach potentially explosive devices and render them harmless.

On March 20, the day before Conditt's death, the Texas Department of Public Safety reminded Texans to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity or suspicious packages to authorities. The DPS stressed that Texans should not approach any unknown or suspicious packages or items, to keep a safe distance and then to notify the authorities by calling 911.

Big crowd joins march An estimated 20,000 people participated in the Austin "March for Our Lives" event on March 24.

Similar marches were held some 900 cities around the globe. At the main march, in Washington, D.C., participants memorialized the mass shooting at high school in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, and other mass shootings, such as the ones at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut in 2010, and Sutherland Springs, Texas, in 2017.

Marchers and speakers at these events mainly called for an end to mass shootings through federal, state and local gun law reforms.

Jobs added in February The Texas Workforce Commission on March 23 announced that the Lone Star State's economy added 40,500 seasonally adjusted non-farm jobs in February, marking 20 consecutive months of employment growth.

Texas' seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.0 percent in February and remains below the U.S. unemployment rate of 4.1 percent.

Industries noted for adding jobs in February included professional and business services, 13,200 positions; followed by trade, transportation and utilities, 11,800 jobs; and mining and logging, 6,500 positions.

TxDOT: Buckle up, teens The Texas Department of Transportation on March 19 posted a message urging teenagers to "always buckle up."

The message is part of TxDOT's annual "Teen Click It or Ticket" campaign, conducted in partnership with high school students, to urge young drivers and their passengers to wear their seat belts every time they're in a vehicle.

"In Texas, 42 percent of all teenagers killed in traffic crashes in 2016 weren't buckled up," said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. "We know seat belts save lives, but only if motorists use them. We want to make sure this message gets through to teens, and no one knows how to reach teens better than other teens."

According to statistics compiled by TxDOT, in Texas in 2016, one in five vehicle crashes involved a teen driver. Of the 269 teen drivers and passengers killed in crashes that year, 114 were unbuckled.

AG asks program review Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on March 22 sent a letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar asking him to reverse the Obama administration's exclusion of Texas from programs that provide family planning and related preventive health services to lowincome women across the state.

Paxton wrote that in 2013 the Obama administration removed Texas from the eligible list of Title X program recipients because it refused to provide taxpayer funds to abortion providers.

"A precursor to participation in federal programs should not be an uncompromising commitment to abortion providers. The freedom of conscience should never be demoted to second-class status among our civil liberties," Paxton added.

Broadcasting sorghum gives quail a chance in drought

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

After banner years in 2015 and 2016, the 2017 quail crop in the Rolling Plains proved disappointing, even though there were plenty of brood birds available going into the nesting season, and some decent summer rainfall. Residents of the region say the population bust was primarily because “the rain that did come didn’t come at the right time” to favor hatching, and the production of insects vital to early chick survival. With 2018 off to an alarmingly sparse moisture start in its first three months, a far more severe downturn in quail numbers could be in store this nesting season.

Supplemental feeding through broadcast spreading of sorghum into cover may be cost effective in helping more quail survive in this potentially dry year. That’s the thinking of Dr. Brad Dabbert, Burnett Foundation endowed professor of Quail Ecology at Texas Tech, who commented on managing quail in a dry year for those attending the Quail Management Symposium at the National Ranching Heritage Center in Lubbock March 22. The event was sponsored by the RHC, Quail Tech Alliance, Park Cities Quail, and the Llano Estacado chapter of Quail Forever.

Dabbert referred to ongoing research on supplemental feeding at the famed 6666 Ranch at Guthrie in the Rolling Plains. He said supplemental feeding must go hand-in-hand with good habitat management in order to make a difference. “When you have no cover for quail, you have no birds,” he stressed to

He says supplemental feeding also lengthened the breeding season by 39 days, and birds were able to store body fat, an important factor in the event of inclement weather.

“During the winter of 2013-2014 on our study area of the 6666 Ranch, with 12 inches of snowon the ground and low temperatures, we saw a death loss of 50 percent in quail on unfed areas. The mortality rate on fed areas was nine percent,” Dabbert relates.

“Supplemental broadcast feeding of quail is not that expensive. We saw a cost of $1,872 to feed 1,000 acres a full year at a cost of $8 a bag for grain sorghum. If we only fed from April to October to boost the hens, the cost was $936 to feed 1,000 acres.”

Other research underway at the 6666s is analyzing quail chick survival.

Early data has shown that 30 percent of chick

mortality is due to raptor predation, with 13.3 percent predation attributed to mammals, primarily skunks and raccoons.

There’s a long-held saying among quail enthusiasts to the tune that “everything that walks, crawls or flies eats quail,” thus the list of potential quail predators is massive.

‘We’re hoping that analysis will help us to create improved brood habitat and increase chick survival,” Dabbert reported.

It should come as no surprise to those roaming quail covers that studies have indicated that ragweed—well known as a vital wildlife food as well as a trigger for allergy sufferers—has been identified as the single most important weed species to quail.

Jim Steiert is an award winning member of the Texas Outdoor Writers Association and a Certified Texas Master Naturalist.

Research on supplemental feeding of quail on the 6666 Ranch in the Rolling Plains is showing the benefits to quail survival of spreading grain sorghum in cover every two weeks at the rate of 150 pounds per mile.

Contributed photo the crowd on hand.

Research on the 6666s has shown that spreading feed in the edge of quailfavoring cover allows quail to take advantage of the food source without being unduly exposed to mammalian or winged predators.

The supplemental feeding study involves a comparison of areas that do not receive supplemental feed to areas where supplemental feed in the form

of sorghum is broadcast at a rate of 150 pounds per mile every two weeks yearround. Feed is commonly spread from a tractor or ATV alongside roads or ranch trails with the kernels flung back into overhead cover.

“Over four years of the stud that included wet years, we’ve noted a 22 percent increase in quail survival from October to April. That’s 22 percent more hens to start the

nesting season,” says Dabbert.

He says the study is also showing improved reproductive performance of quail in areas receiving supplemental feed.

“We have noted triple the renesting hen numbers on fed areas at 42 percent, versus only 15 percent on unfed areas, and 15 percent of hens receiving supplemental feed attempted a third nest if necessary,” Dabbert said.

Lady Herd slams Demonettes

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Playing a little long ball early, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces raced out to a quick lead Friday before cruising to a 10-1 win over visiting Dumas in District 3-5A softball action.

The Lady Herd have now won five in a row, six of their last eight and eight of their last 11 games to move to 14-10-2 overall and 5-1 in league play.

“We had a few hiccups with some fielding errors, but nothing that was too costly for the team,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “There were more good things than bad in the game. We were patience and were getting solid hits to score runners. Defensively, we made plays to get out of innings when Dumas had runners on.

“We are just taking it game by game to do our job to keep moving forward.”

The Lady Whitefaces got to Demonette starter MaKaylah Casanova out of the gate.

Danielle Pena singled to open the HHS first before Bianca Olvera’s line shot was stabbed for an out.

Abrie Castillo followed with a belt over the centerfield fence for a 2-0 Lady Herd lead.

Haleigh Barba then walked, and Haylie Valdez doubled. Barba would score on a Daz Rodriguez groundout, and Valdez made it 4-0 on a wild pitch.

Casanova lasted only three batters into the second – a lead-off single

Hereford Whiteface and Lady Whiteface track teams will get a chance to shine before the home folks Thursday when they host the annual Hereford Invitational Meet.

The overall field of eight includes boys and girls teams from district rivals Canyon, Plainview and Dumas, as well as those from Lubbock Cooper, Lubbock All Saints High School and Clovis (N.M.) High School.

“The competition should be pretty good,” Whiteface coach Charlie Garza said. “With only seven other teams, it will not be anything like the massive Amarillo meet last week, but it will still be tough.

“Clovis brings in top relays.

Lubbock Cooper will also have quality relays and sprinters, as well as a good triple jump kid. Dumas has good distance kids, as does Canyon.”

The meet is the fourth of the six-meet regular season for the Herd and Lady Herd before the postseason and drive for a state title begins with district competition on April 11-12.

Through the first three meets of the season, strengths and weaknesses of both teams have been exposed.

“Our expectations are to continue to improve as we head toward district,” Garza said. “Our strong points have been the throws and high jump. We want to keep that momentum going.

“Our distance kids will see great competition, and we will have a great opportunity to improve. Our relays will continue to look for the right

Playing long ball early, Abrie Castillo rips a 2-run, first-inning homer Friday to get the Lady Whiteface scoring off and running.

BRAND/John Carson from Kaelynn Vallejo, bunt single by Pena and 3-run homer off the bat of Olvera to push the lead to 7-0.

The Demonettes used a two-out error, walk and single to score their lone run in the fifth before the Lady Whitefaces closed out the scoring in the sixth.

Pena opened with her third hit of the game and was at third after Olvera bunted safely aboard and Castillo walked to pack the sacks.

Barba was out on an infield fly, and Olvera was

called out for runner’s interference before a Valdez infield single reloaded the bases.

Rodriguez followed with a hit to plate Pena and Castillo. Valdez would then come in on another wild pitch to make it 10-1.

“One thing we need to work on is not getting satisfied,” Marquez said. “We laid back with applying pressure when we had our seven-run lead early.”

On the throwing front, Herd senior Logan Butler has consistently placed among the top three in either shot put or discus – or both – in every meet this season, while junior high jumper Dodge DeLozier has won a meet and been among the leaders all the season.

Those are the Whiteface favorites to watch Thursday, Garza said, but was quick to add he was anticipating the results for a new 4x200 relay team of Henry Cervantes, Seth Dixon, Gilberto Ramos and Raymundo Ponce.

“This meet is always special because it is our one chance to compete at home,” Garza said. “Especially for our seniors, who will be running in their last home meet.

“The weather forecast is improving every day, so hopefully, we will have a beautiful day for the kids to compete and for fans to come out and see some great competition.”

Among the Whiteface seniors to compete in the meet are Butler, Cy Valdez, Cervantes, Nate Carney, Tony Lopez, Jordan Rodriguez and Jordan Trevino.

Blowing out of the gate like greyhounds, the Plainview Bulldogs scored early and often Friday to maul visiting Hereford, 17-4, in a mercy-shortened, District 3-5A diamond tilt.

For the Herd, the loss was the sixth in a row, eighth in the last nine games and 10th in the past 12. They dropped to 7-13 overall on the season and 0-4 in league play.

“As you can see by the score, we didn’t play up to our potential – which falls squarely on our shoulders as coaches,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said.

“I felt like we were ready to play, but baseball has a unique way of turning excitement and expectation into uh-oh and despair very quickly.”
