his appointed position with a
resounding endorsement of
the people’s will, Tuesday.
“I’m really humbled, really honored. I want to thank
everyone for all the support,
all the help for everything
that’s come my way,” Butler
said late Tuesday night after
the election was officially
announced.
Butler won the race 2,582

Butler intends to continue
a project with the Pilot Club

senior citizens with mental
instabilities for their protection. He is also working
on obtaining a smart phone

enter and leave the jail.

A Deaf Smith County man walks towards Aikman Elementary School to vote for Precinct One, Deaf Smith
County, State and National elections, mid Tuesday. The
Deaf Smith County Courthouse, Hereford Junior High

“I’m just gonna get back
to the job that needs to be
done.”

elected and two incumbents
were reelected to the Deaf
Smith County Hospital District Board. Harold McNutt,
1,840 votes, and Debbie

“I’m happy that the citizens have given me the opportunity to continue the reason that I ran for originally,”
Kitten said, explaining that
he originally ran to make

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 The dream of a newspaper
in Hereford was born on
February 23, 1901 when
F.L. Vanderburgh created
“The Hereford Reporter”
as a weekly publication.
One year later the name was
changed to “The Hereford
Brand”.
Forty-seven years later
on July 4, 1948 longtime
publisher Jimmy Gillentine
transitioned the paper into a
semi-weekly publication.
Change was still coming when on July 1, 1976
publisher O.G. Speedy Nieman made the decision to
bring The Hereford Brand
to homes five days a week
by making the paper a daily
publication. Subscribers
that had grown accustomed
to getting their papers on
Thursday and Sunday began
receiving their papers on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Once again The Hereford
Brand is transitioning to create a better, more hometown
newspaper for our readers.
On December 2, 2012 the
Brand will be returning to
semi-weekly format. The
Brand will be available on
Wednesday and Sunday
afternoons.
The decision to transition
to a semi-weekly was made
after many hours of studying the newspaper industry
and the addition of online
options. The trend across
the country has been to go
strictly electronic or digital
but the Brand won’t be going that way.
The Brand will continue
to be a hometown newspaper
with more local content.
Sports coverage will remain the same. Friday night
sports will be covered and
reported in the Sunday edition with wrap-ups and
looks ahead included in the
Wednesday edition.
We also have changes
coming for our online subscribers. We will be posting
news stories as they occur
with those stories appearing
in the print copy on Wednesday and Sunday.
Obviously this transition will make necessary
a change in subscription
prices. Subscribers who
have paid in advance won’t
have to worry about that until their subscriptions expire.

Evening of Leadership and
Legacy raises $200,000
Center City of Amarillo
thanked the community recently
for its outstanding support of
“An Evening of Leadership and
Legacy with former New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”
The event, which was held
on Oct. 16, raised more than
$200,000 for Center City and
Amarillo College.
The event capped the 100th
anniversary celebration of the
Underwood Law Firm, the oldest continuously operating law
firm in Amarillo. The evening
included a Decade Gallery
showcasing the history of Amarillo, a VIP reception, a dinner
and a speech by Mayor Giuliani.
More than 1,000 people attended
the dinner in the Heritage Room
of the Civic Center.
The speech drew more than
2,300 people into the Civic
Center Auditorium for the
speech. The audience included students from the Amarillo College Honors Program,
Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch and
West Texas A&M University.
At the news conference Center City received a check for
$175,000.
Beth Duke, executive director of Center City of Amarillo,
said, “Center City is grateful
to Underwood Law Firm for
having the vision to celebrate
this 100th anniversary milestone with a historic event.
By inviting Mayor Giuliani to
come to Amarillo, they helped
raise more than $200,000,
which will be reinvested in our
community.”
Center City Board President
Marjorie Hagan Ellis accepted
the check on Center City’s
behalf. She thanked the Underwood Law Firm and the
sponsors who made the event
possible. Center City will use its
proceeds to continue to improve
downtown Amarillo through
community events and beautification.
“We are honored to be part
of this special event, which will
help us in our continuing efforts
to revitalize downtown,” said
Duke.
Amarillo College received
a check for $33,000, which is
earmarked for the Amarillo
College Honors Program and
the Amarillo College Hereford
Campus.
Dr. Paul Matney, AC president, accepted the check on
behalf of Amarillo College and
introduced students in the AC
Honors Program. Matney detailed the AC Honors Program
and the special enrichment educational opportunities it affords
to top AC students.
An additional check for
$25,000 went to scholarships for
Amarillo College Students who
will attend Lubbock Christian
University. LCU was a major
sponsor for the Evening with
Giuliani and hosted a reception
for Amarillo College Honors
Program students as part of the
event.

Texas cotton getting
a genetic ‘tune-up’
By Kay Ledbetter
Texas Agrilife Extension
COLLEGE STATION – Can
you imagine trying to build a
competitive race car with old
parts? Chances are, the entry
would not fare well at the Indy
500. Very much the same thing
might be said about today’s
crops, according to a Texas
A&M AgriLife Research scientist.
“Contemporary crops such
as Texas cotton are like finely
tuned racing machines — they
need high quality parts to perform optimally,” said Dr. David Stelly, AgriLife Research
cotton geneticist in College
Station. “And they constantly
need new ones to replace ones
that are no longer functional,
as well as those that are still
effective but no longer at the
cutting edge of competition.”
Stelly said his role in the
AgriLife Research cotton
breeding program is to infuse
new genes and gene combinations into the genetics and
breeding research arena, “so
that we can utilize natural
genetic resources to help meet
the many challenges breeding
programs face.”
Transferring genes into a
cultivated crop from a wild
species “is like swimming
upstream, one is fighting all
sorts of biological and genetic
barriers,” he said. For years,
he and his long-time research
assistant, Dwaine Raska, have
been transferring the alien
genes by a special breeding
process called “chromosome
substitution.”
“Using chromosome substitution, we can target one pair
of cultivated cotton chromosomes at a time, and replace
it with the corresponding pair
of chromosomes from a wild
species chosen as the donor.
On average, each substitution replaces about 2,000 cotton genes with donor genes,”
Stelly said.
Having already developed
chromosome substitution lines
for many chromosomes from
three donor species, Stelly is
working in collaboration with
a former graduate student, Dr.
Sukumar Saha, now with the
U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research
Service unit at Mississippi
State University, and his associates, to document their effects on cotton plant and fiber
improvement.
Stelly noted that the chromosome substitution breeding and
research was made possible
only because of teamwork
among researchers and research supporters, especially
AgriLife Research, the Texas
State Support Committee,
Cotton Inc., the Texas Department of Agriculture’s Food and
Fiber Research Commission
and the Agricultural Research
Service.
To significantly advance
the cotton industry’s “racing
machines,” breeders must
shop around to find the best
parts, and figure out how to
optimize their contributions to
performance, he said.
“Fortunately, nature provides
a plethora of genetic variation,”
Stelly said. “It’s up to us to find
it, move it into agronomically
useful types, and to figure out
how to use it wisely. Whether
mechanical or genetic, making one change often requires
that others be made to achieve
superiority.”
Contemporary production
of cotton in Texas and elsewhere requires cotton seed
with superb genes, plus good
production infrastructure and
technology, superb growers
and a good dose of luck, he
said.
“If a grower sows cotton
seeds lacking a fantastic set
of genes that confer high production, high fiber quality,
resilience to stresses, pests and
pathogens, expectations for the
crop would be less than good
from the outset.”
The grower’s requirements
pose an extreme challenge
for cotton breeding programs
that release cultivated varieties, because producers must
buy elite genetic types that
are good-to-great for all traits,
Stelly said.
Because of the ever-present
pressure for rapid development of successful cultivars,
U.S. breeding programs have
historically relied heavily on
previously developed cultivars
and closely related lines as
parents, he said. This recycling
of genes from relatively few
historically elite agricultural
types of cotton has created a
genetic “bottleneck.”
“We have excellent genetic
types of cotton and excellent cotton breeders, but we
need ‘new blood’ or new cotton genes, to create lots of
new genetic combinations, of
which a few are likely to yield
significant improvements,”
Stelly said.
While Texas leads the U.S.
in cotton production, producing about 25 percent of the
nation’s crop on about 6 million acres, there is competition
to this No. 1 cash crop for the
state, Stelly said.
“Industrial technologies and
competition from synthetic petroleum-based fibers demand
significant modifications and
enhancements to cotton fiber
physical and chemical properties, especially those that affect
dying and high-speed processing,” he said.
Also, ongoing climate
changes will alter the scope
and scale of the challenges
found in current production
areas, and probably lead to
production in new areas with
new sets of biotic and abiotic
problems, Stelly said.
“We can use genes to address
these challenges and competition in the field,” he said.
Genetic improvements or
modifications can help keep
pests and pathogens at bay,
fight off abiotic stresses such
as cold, heat, water deficiencies, salt and nutrient deficiencies, Stelly said.
Stelly sees the opportunities for genetic improvements
as almost unlimited, and very
exciting.
“A key ingredient, in almost
all scenarios, is the availability
of ample amounts of genetic
variation that is available to the
breeder to mold new, improved
genetic types using the combinatorial ‘magic’ of Mendelian
heredity,” Stelly said. “We
are concomitantly developing
high-throughput DNA marker
methods for cotton to expedite
that follow-through work with
the chromosome substitution
lines.”
Traditional breeding methods are not very effective for
infusing wild germplasm into
cotton, he said, because during the back-crossing process,
“we think that the alien genes
get eliminated very quickly.”
Stelly uses a modified method
for chromosome substitution
to avoid those problems almost
completely.
The effects differ among
each alien chromosome, he
said, ultimately depending on
which genes are present on that
substituted chromosome, and
how they interact with the other approximate 58,000 genes
found in Upland cotton.
Stelly said they are beginning to apply genomics tools
to determine which genes are
present, which are expressed
and how they interact. Once
developed, the lines produced
by the project can be screened
and “used by anyone … and
for essentially any trait subject
to genetic control,” he said.
“The resulting advances
will enable the baseline performances of cotton to be
elevated, and could lead to
unforeseen revolutionary advances.”
Stelly said one of the group’s
main activities at present is to
recruit partners – breeders,
physiologists, pathologists – in
studying these new chromosome substitution lines.
“We are actively seeking
partners to help breed derived
types that can help the research
community pinpoint singlegene and multi-gene effects
in manners complementary to
other means of genetic analysis,” he said. “My expectation
is that with the aid of markerbased selection, the cotton
breeding community will be
able to use these new kinds of
wild germplasm resources far,
far more effectively than in the
past. It just keeps getting more
and more exciting.”

year.
“Last year a review team
consolidated 54 ARDs for
RMA and 17 ARDs for FSA
into 15 common ARDs,” said
Gerber. “The common reporting dates will reduce the
burden on producers and help
reduce USDA operating costs
by sharing data with partner
agencies,” he said.
The following acreage reporting dates are
for both FSA and RMA
purposes:
All grasses intended for grazing or forage (hay), PRF,
all Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale and Wheat planted before
Oct. 1, 2012 intended for grazing, all mixed forages that
have grass and small grains in the mix.

Producers who file accurate and timely reports for all
crops and land uses, including
failed acreage can prevent the
potential loss of FSA program
benefits.
“I encourage all producers
to visit the Deaf Smith County
FSA office to file an accurate
crop certification report by the
applicable deadline in order
to comply with FSA program
eligibility requirements,” said
Gerber.
Producers are also reminded
to report crop losses insured
through Federal Crop Insurance and the Noninsured Crop
Disaster Assistance Program
(NAP) within 15 days of the
disaster or as soon as the loss
is apparent.

Nov. 15 deadline looms
for range insurance
By Kay Ledbetter
Texas Agrilife Extension
AMARILLO – Livestock
and hay producers have
the ability to buy insurance
through the new Pasture,
Range and Forage Insurance
risk policy offered in the
High Plains region, said DeDe
Jones, Texas A&M AgriLife
Extension Service risk management specialist.
The 2013 sign-up and acreage reporting deadline for
this program is Nov. 15, and
premiums are due by July 1,
Jones said.
“In the face of continued
dry conditions, insurance becomes a critical component in
producers’ risk management
portfolios,” she said.
Payment is not determined
by individual damages, but
rather area losses based on a
grid system, Jones explained.
Producers can select any portion of acres to insure, but they
must also choose a minimum
of two two-month intervals, or
a maximum of six two-month
intervals per year.
Coverage levels between
70 and 90 percent are available, she said. Once coverage is selected, the producer
chooses a productivity factor
between 60 percent and 150
percent. Productivity factor is
a percentage of the established
county base value for forage.
The base value is a standard
rate published by the Risk
Management Agency for each
county. It is calculated based
on the estimated per-acre cost
of grazing, Jones said. For
example, Hansford County’s
value is $8.11.
She said Texas uses a rainfall index to determine the insurance coverage. The rainfall
index utilizes National Oceanic and Atmospheric Climate
Prediction Center data and a
12-by-12 mile grid system.
“Indemnities are calculated
based on the deviation from
normal precipitation within
an area for a specific period
selected,” Jones said.
A decision-support tool to
help producers determine coverage levels and intervals can
be found at: http://agforceusa.

Life lessons
abound for
Herd athletes
There is a certain intensity and focus necessary to achieving excellence in athletics. But
sometimes that singularity of purpose can
cause coaches and athletes to lose perspective
and forget the things that are
really important in the larger
context of life.
A coach’s livelihood, even
at the high school level, is tied
to wins and losses. But at their
core, high school coaches are
teachers of young men and
women and should serve as
positive role models for their
teenage players.
Skip

lessons that can be applied to
our everyday lives. Many high school coaches
talk about the opportunity for their players to
learn valuable life lessons.
Players on two teams at Hereford High
School received such life lessons this past
week. One team is under the tutelage of a
rookie coach. The other team is led by a
mentor who has been coaching for more than
25 years, or as long as the rookie coach has
been alive.
The rookie coach is former HHS distance
runner Jose Huerta, who is in his first year at
the helm of the boys and girls cross country
teams.
Huerta not only put together a Herd boys
team for the first time in many years, but he led
them to the District 4-4A championship.
He led a girls team that is composed mostly
of freshmen and sophomores to a third-place
district finish and a berth in this past Saturday’s regional race.
No Hereford team or runner qualified for
the UIL State Championships in Austin this
Saturday. But they were privy to a life lesson
of much greater magnitude.
With his wife, Monique, due to deliver the
couple’s second child any day, Jose planned
to coach his teams at the regional meet at Mae
Simmons Park in Lubbock
However, little Adaly McKayla Huerta had
other plans.
Monique went into labor early Saturday
morning. Jose stayed with her and did not
attend the regional meet.
“She started contractions about 3 o’clock
in the morning,” said Jose, who attended
Hereford’s playoff-clinching football win over
Plainview at Whiteface Stadium Friday night.
“We had a little girl about 11:30 (Saturday)
morning. So I wasn’t able to make it to the
regional meet.”
As the Hereford runners warmed up at Mae
Simmons Park Saturday morning, Adaly McKayla checked in at 7 pounds, 2 ounces and
19 inches long. Mother and child are home
and doing well.
Many coaches talk to their troops about the
importance of family — in the context of a
team as family but also taking care of one’s
family at home. Jose Huerta, by not attending
the regional meet but staying with his wife at
the hospital all night and all morning, was a
shining example of this principle.
The other coach whose team has learned
valuable life lessons this year is Whiteface
head football coach Don DeLozier.
Throughout a difficult first half of the
season, DeLozier and his assistant coaches
preached perseverance. The Herd’s motto
this year could be summed up in three words:
“Stay the course.”
The losses piled up. Hereford did not taste
victory in five pre-district games.
It would have been easy for an 0-5 team to
fold up the tent and call it a season. But Hereford athletes and coaches are made of much

A total of 188 competitors ran in the race.
Former Longhorns coach Darrell Royal dies at 88
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Darrell
Royal, the former Texas football
coach known as much for his
folksy, simplistic approach to life
as for his creative wishbone offenses and two national championships, has died. He was 88.
Royal had suffered from Alzheimer's disease and recently fell
at an assisted living center where
he was receiving care.
Royal, who also starred as a
defensive back and quarterback
for the Oklahoma Sooners, didn't
have a single losing season in his
23 years as a head coach at Texas,
Mississippi State and Washington.
During his 20 years at Texas
(1957-1976), his teams boasted a
167-47-5 record — the best mark
in the nation during that period.
One season ended with an even
record.
Royal was just 32 when Texas
hired him. The Longhorns hadn't
had a winning season since 1953,
and Royal immediately turned the
program around.
Under Royal, Texas won 11
Southwest Conference titles, 10
Cotton Bowl championships and
national championships in 1963
and 1969, going 11-0 each time.
The Longhorns also won a share
of the 1970 national title.

tougher stuff than that. They
showed their mettle week
in and week out, battling
through the doubt that creeps
in with each loss.
It’s a tribute not only to the
players, but to DeLozier and
his assistant coaches that the
troops stayed motivated.
They came back from every loss, every setback and
worked harder than the week
before.
The strong non-district
schedule would prepare the
Whitefaces well for the District 4-4A season. But the
team had to get to the district
campaign with its collective
psyche intact.
Following a bye week leading into district, Hereford
hung 44 points on Lubbock
Monterey and celebrated their
first victory of the season.
They followed that with a
51-point outburst and blowout of Lubbock High.
After a loss at Frenship, the
Herd beat up on Plainview this
past Friday.
The Whitefaces are 3-1 and
have clinched the district rummerup spot. And with the win
over the Bulldogs, the team’s
goal of qualifying for the postseason playoffs was realized.
There was jubilation among
the Herd players after Friday’s
triumph. The doubt and pain
of an 0-5 start has been wiped
out, replaced by the joy and
satisfaction of returning to
the postseason playoffs after
a one-year absence.
There are many situations
in life where determination
and stick-to-itiveness are
necessary.
There are many situations
where, as DeLozier might
say, one must keep their belief
system intact.
The Herd has done that.
What a valuable life lesson
for each of the boys on that
team.
Watching the Herd players
celebrate Friday night made
me think of something my
high school football coach
wrote in a letter to us players
in the summer of 1975.
In the letter anticipating the
upcoming season, Coach Joe
Viglione wrote, “Work breeds
success and sweat is the magic
ingredient.”
The Hereford players and
coaches have worked. They
have sweated. And now they
have achieved a modicum of
success.

DAILY
LAUGH
10 dollar
bill, a Bible,
and a bottle
of whiskey
An older couple had a
son, who was still living
at home. The parents
were a little worried, as
the son was still unable
to decide about his future career. They decided to do a small test.
They took a 10 dollar
bill, a Bible, and a bottle
of whiskey, and put them
on the front hall table,
and hid, pretending they
were not home.
The father’s plan was:
“If our son takes the
money, he will be a businessman, if he takes the
Bible, he will be a priest,
but if he takes the bottle
of whiskey, I’m afraid our
son will be a drunkard.”
CRYPTO
SUDOKU
So, the parents waited
nervously, hiding in the
nearby closet. Peeping
through the keyhole they
saw their son arrive. The
son saw the note they
had left. Then, he took
the 10-dollar bill, looked
at it against the light,
and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the
Bible, flicked through it,
and took it.
Then, he grabbed the
bottle, opened it and
took a whiff, to get assured of the quality.
Then he left for his room,
carrying all three items.
The father slapped his
forehead, and said:
HONEY! Our son is going to be a politician.”
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who
neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
