Borger High School Class of 1966
celebrates 50th high school reunion
By April Davis
(806) 273-5612
Borger High School’s
graduating class of 1966
reunited this weekend for
their 50th reunion.
The two day celebration started out at Alibates
Flint Quarries National
Monument at 2:00 p.m.
on Friday. Several members of the class came to
Alibates to join in on the
tour of the monument led
by a National Park Service
Ranger.
Frieda McKinney Kelm
was part of the 1966 class
that graduated from Borger High School. She now
lives in Plainview.
“We’ve been working
on getting everyone’s address for about two years.
It’s been a long process,
we worked on it for quite
some time,” says Kelm.
Kelm feels like the
work was worth it. With
a class of over 300, the
reservations for 111 was a
good turn out.
Sharon Graves Wells
was also a part of the 1966
graduation and now lives
in Dallas. She said that
one memory she has is
“how close we all were.
We didn’t have one mama.
We had several. All the
moms would tell us what
to do, and we did it,” she
says laughing. “We knew
to listen.”
“And we are all still so
close. Sharon and I see
each other once a year,”
adds Kelm.
“Our children don’t
get it. They will say to
me ‘mom, we don’t keep
in touch with anyone we
went to school with. You
guys are so close.’ They
don’t understand. Our
class was different. I don’t
think there is that type of
closeness these days. Here
I am getting teary eyed,”
comments Kelm wiping away her tears as she
stood outside the Alibates
Flint Quarries Monument
with some of her fellow
classmates.
Kelm went on to describe life as a high school

“We didn’t have one
home. We were all over
at each other’s house. We
had so many homes we
lived at.”

newest reporter, Haley Vinyard
By April Davis
(806) 273-5612
The Borger News-Herald has a new
member on its team of reporters; Haley
Vinyard, 18, who will be working parttime after studying journalism as part of
Borger High School’s newspaper program.
Vinyard graduated high school last
month and will be headed to college in
August at Amarillo College. Her plans
are to be a music major.
“I really like talking to people in
Borger. and interviewing people I don’t
know,” says Vinyard.
In addition to learning the ropes of
AP writing at “The Borger Growl” at
BHS, Vinyard was also in journalism
and photo journalism for three years.
Vinyard is a native of Borger and her
parents are Robert and Lisa Vinyard.
She has three sisters who are all older.
“I’m the baby of the family,” confesses Vinyard.
Some of her hobbies include video
games. “I really like playing Minecraft.
I like to listen to music and learn music.
it’s share of loss. The class
has had 70 members pass
away, adding another to
the loss on Friday morning.
“That’s a lot of us, but
the ones still here, we are
close,” says Wells.

Thursday, June 9 the Borger school board
had their monthly meeting at the administration building where they swore in new member
Cyndee Hickman who replaced Kent Gray.
The board members also discussed a three percent increase for teachers salary that was passed
and will begin in the upcoming school year. “We
had 6,200 walk troughs last year in classrooms,
our teachers are working extremely hard, and
our administrators are working extremely hard,”
Superintendent Chance Welch said.
A new testing system replacing the PDAS
will be brought to Borger called the T-TESS or
Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System.
While it is time consuming, the test is designed
to provide feed back to educators in order to help
them improve their teaching methods. To be eligible for less than annual evaluations teachers
must meet state requirements as well as school
requirements. Eligible teachers will be tested every three years.
According to Welch the school district will
now be more “prudent and careful with its
spending.”

Playing piano, I think that’s fun.”
While Vinyard has considered going into music as a teacher, her ultimate
goal is to sing.
“I really want to go into opera singing as a professional career. I’m not too
bad at it,” Vinyard says with a smile.
Her passion for opera is apparent as she
speaks about it.
“I’ve sung two songs from Phantom of the Opera with my voice lesson
teacher, Carissa Cunningham. I sang
‘Wishing You Were Somehow Here
Again.’ I’m artsy, not in the drawing
sense, but more in the music and writing sense.”
Vinyard says she likes working in
the newspaper business and has a lot
of questions that have been answered
since she started working here.
“I like that you guys are so willing to
answer my questions,” she says.
With the addition of Vinyard, the
Borger News-Herald will be bringing
our readers even more local stories and
moving towards additional daily content.

Cecil Vandagriff Jr.
Cecil Claud Vandagriff,
Jr passed away on June
5, 2016 at BSA Hospital
in Amarillo, Texas after a
yearlong battle with an infection in his arm. He was
born on March 13, 1957 in
Borger, Texas to Claud and
Doris Vandagriff.
A memorial service will
be held June 16, 2016 at
Glory Bound Ministries,
519 W Jefferson, in Borger, Texas. Reverend David Teakell will officiate.
Claud grew up and attended school in Stinnett, Texas.
During his life, he worked various jobs in the oilfield.
Most recently, he worked with Shaneco, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning company in Borger, Texas.
Claud is survived by his sister, Deanna Beasley,
Amarillo, Texas; nine aunts and uncles and 53 cousins,
most of which reside in Oklahoma
He was preceded in death by his parents, Claud and
Doris Vandagriff, Stinnett, Texas; and his niece, Gina
Beasley, Amarillo, Texas.
The most important things to Claud were his family
and friends. He was a kind hearted man that would always do whatever he could when someone needed help.
If a friend needed money, he gave whatever he had to
help them out. He was a loving son and brother to his
family.
He also loved animals, particularly dogs. He always
had at least one dog. When he was a kid walking home
from school, a trail of dogs would be following him.
Family members would watch him walking down the
street, turning around every so often trying to get the
dogs to go home. When he walked in the house, most
would go back home, but a few would sit outside waiting
for him. Even when their owners picked them up, some
would come back again and again. There were instances
where the owners would ask if he wanted their dog because they knew their dog loved Claud so much. The
Vandagriff household inherited a number dogs when he
was a kid. He had one little cat that had been abandoned
and was starving. He took the cat in, fed and nursed it
back to health, and taught it to fetch. He carried a little
ball in his pocket so he could proudly show off his cat’s
intelligence, grinning ear to ear.
A family memorial will be held in Oklahoma later
this month.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the Downtown Women’s Center, 401
S. Monroe, Amarillo, TX 79101. Donations can also be
made online.zz

Weekend Faith
A Very Happy
Great Grandfather
Last week I went a
children’s camp and I
had a wonderful time.
After the evening services an invitation
was given to those
who wanted to accept
Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. My responsibility
was to talk to them to
see what decision they
were making. Many
of the children went
to church and knew
the Bible. They had
learned that Jesus
loved them and gave
His life on the cross
for them, (John 3:16,
Romans 5:8). They
would share how they
wanted their sins forgiven and how they
wanted to put their
faith in Jesus Christ,
(Romans 3:23, 6:23,
John 1:12). I had the
wonderful blessing of

listening too many of
them as they asked Jesus into their hearts.
You could see a new
look in their faces
after they prayed, (1
John 5:13, John 5:24).
At the end of the last
service two young
boys came forward
with an old man. Both
of the boys wanted to
accept Christ as their
Savior. I asked one of
the boys if he went to
church and before he
could answer the old
man said, “He has
gone with me since he
was little”. After the
boys prayed I looked
over and there were
tears in the old man’s
eyes and he said,
“This is my great
grandson”.
Wow
what a blessing to see
a child, grandchild or
even a great grandson accept Christ. See
you in Church next
Sunday. Brother J

Social Security deserves
top billing this election
By Bob Jackson
Texas Director AARP
Keeping Social Security strong and solvent for
current and future generations is too important to
be lost in the fog of campaign season.
It’s crucial that Texans, especially the 13 million of us currently paying into Social Security,
listen carefully to and carefully consider presidential candidates’ plans for keeping Social Security
resilient.
The stakes are high. According to the Social Security Trustees, benefits will be cut by nearly 25
percent by 2034 if no action is taken. In addition,
millions of families today have precious little savings set aside as they near retirement. Pensions are
becoming a rare commodity, and health care costs
are on the upswing. What’s more, younger workers
are increasingly dubious about the program that’s
been a backbone of retirement security for generations of Americans and think that Social Security
may be an empty promise for them.
Every year our leaders wait and do nothing, finding a solution grows more difficult. So the sooner
adjustments are made, the smaller and less abrupt
they will have to be. And it all starts with presidential leadership.
But regardless of who is next in the White House,
Congress will have a key role to play. Two members of the Texas delegation are key leaders with
notable sway over Social Security’s future: U.S.
Rep. Kevin Brady of Conroe, chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, and U.S.
Rep. Sam Johnson of Plano, chairman of the Social
Security Subcommittee.
In November, Texans will elect or re-elect 36
men and women to represent them in Washington.
As the candidates campaign in their home districts
over the next few months, it’s a great time to learn
where they stand on the future of Social Security.
A key question to ask is: Will you take action to
update Social Security so it is financially sound and
provides adequate income for current and future
generations?
Elections have consequences. Amid the noise and
the insults that will fill the airwaves in the weeks
and months ahead, take the time to think about the
issues that really are important to you. Since 1935
when the law was passed, Social Security has been
one of them, lifting millions out of poverty and allowing them to retire with dignity.
As engaged citizens, I believe we have a duty to
do our part to keep Social Security strong for ourselves, our children and grandchildren.

But, if we refuse transgender
bathrooms, we lose federal funding
By Harold Pease, Ph.D
Syndicated Op-Ed
As reported, every
school district in the
country received a May
12, 2016 letter allowing transgender students
in public schools to use
bathrooms and locker
rooms consistent with
their chosen (not their
actual) gender identity.
Those not complying are
threatened with lawsuits
and loss of federal aid.
This federal pressure
to be obedient to federal
whim, or in this case a
radical reinterpretation
of old law, is not new.
In the seventies President Richard Nixon had
speed limits on freeways
reduced to 55 miles per
hour, lasting over a decade, because of an alleged energy shortage.
After a time a Wyoming
governor reposted freeway speed in his state to
65. The governor was
right, speed regulation
on freeways was not a
delegated power listed
in Article I, Section 8
nor had such power been
added to the federal government by way of an
amendment to the Constitution. The federal
government threatened
loss all federal funds for

new construction and/
or highway repair for
non-complying states.
Wyoming returned to 55
mph.
About the same time
a new directive, similar
to the present Obama
transgender
directive,
required institutions of
higher learning receiving federal funds to have
open gender housing
should students demand
it. Brigham Young University (BYU) refused
on the basis that as a religious institution male/female dorm separation for
singles was a fundamental religious principle.
The federal government
threatened the University with the loss of all
federal funds should it
not comply. BYU still
refused. Coed dorms is
also not a federal power
as per the enumeration
clauses, again in Section
8, and are therefore totally a state power as per
Amendment 10. Actually the word education
is not in the Constitution
so there exists no federal
constitutional authority.
The federal government
cut off all federal funds
to the “rebel” university.
The difference between Wyoming and
BYU was that the university had never accepted a dime from the
federal government, thus
the federal government
had nothing to cut off. It
had no power to blackmail the institution into
compliance. It could,
and did, fume and bluster threats but it made no
difference. Finding no
way to punish the institution itself, it went after
the poor students unable to attend without a
government guaranteed
loan by cutting them
off; in time that too was
dropped. Enrollment remained untouched as demand always exceeded
availability.
Sometime in the late
80’s I was appointed to a
special county commission to assess how Kern
County of California
could deal with all the
edicts emanating from
the federal government
and still be free. It was
a strange question. I remained mostly silent as
others wrestled in complete frustration with
the question, getting nowhere. There seemed to
be no solution. Then I
asked, “How much slavery have you purchased?”
The question was greeted
with universal stares and
silence, so I asked again.
“How much slavery have
you purchased?” When
you line up for the “free”
government money you
give the giver power over
you because he can cut it
off after you have made
yourself dependent upon
it. “So how much money have you taken because that is what will be
cut off should you wish
to really run your own
county?” “Well, not as
much as adjoining Los
Angeles County,” came
the reply. I had made
my point. We were freer
than LA County.
The federal government has no constitutional authority to fund
anything not enumerated
in the Constitution, but it
has for decades with nary
a complaint from the recipients of the “free”
money who lined up like
hogs at a feeding trough
to receive. Our governors, county commissioners, city councilmen
and school administrators have lined up knees
bent, palms outreached
and open, tongues drooling for the scraps from
the table because the
“free” money was easier
to get than raising local
taxes and telling the federal government no.
This without a thought
to the “drug” dependency they created for their
governments down the
road, not noticed until the
government asks them
for compliance on something that they know is
not reasonable or right.
Most still will bow their
heads in shame but remain in servitude hoping
that the next edict will
not be so demanding.
But they have lost their
ability to be independent
of their new master—the
federal government—
that has far more power
over them than that imposed by the tiny list of
delegated powers in the
Constitution. The will of
the people they serve is
now very much secondary.
In my own profession
I have never seen an administrator turn down
the “free” money that
he used to make himself
look better with federal
funds because it allowed
him to show new buildings or programs as evidence of his excellence.
The federal controls
that came with it were
a small price to pay for
the “shiny stuff,” he reasoned. Again, the word
education is not in the
Constitution but almost
every aspect of education is today influenced
at the federal level.
My point!! BYU had
the right solution to the
problem by refusing any
federal monies and therefore federal influence.
States and communities that didn’t say no to
the enticement of “free”
money have allowed the
federal government to
worm her way into all
aspects of our lives, a
hundred times more than
had we stayed with the
enumerated powers of
the Constitution, to the
point that it now tells
us where we can go to
the bathroom. Sadly we
have sold ourselves into
dependence. Texas provides the only solution
at this point: “the state is
willing to forfeit $10 billion in federal education
dollars rather than comply.” Will other states
and lesser governments
follow and break the
dependence or continue
groveling for the money
and more slavery?

Chris Hackett’s boys
basketball camp begins June 13th
DETROIT (AP) — Gordie Howe, the
rough-and-tumble Canadian farm boy
whose boundless blend of talent and
toughness made him the NHL's quintessential star during a career that lasted into
his 50s, died Friday. The man forever
known as "Mr. Hockey" was 88.
"Mr Hockey left peacefully, beautifully, and w no regrets," Murray Howe
said in a text to The Associated Press. He
said his father died simply of "old age,"
not another stroke.
"We are celebrating the life of a devoted husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and a friend to all," the family in a statement sent by the Detroit Red
Wings, Howe's longtime team which also
confirmed that Howe died in Sylvania,
Ohio, at the home of Murray Howe.
Howe shattered records, threw elbows
and helped the Red Wings win four Stanley Cups, becoming an idol to Wayne
Gretzky and countless others while also
helping the sport attract American fans
in a development key the NHL's growth.

With finesse and a heavy dose of grit, the
Hockey Hall of Famer set NHL records
with 801 goals and 1,850 points — mostly with the Red Wings — that held up
until Gretzky came along.
The Great One himself left no doubt
what he thought of Howe.
"Unfortunately we lost the greatest
hockey player ever today, but more importantly the nicest man I have ever met,"
Gretzky tweeted.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman
lauded "the incomparable" Howe as a remarkable athlete with incredible longevity.
"Gordie's commitment to winning
was matched only by his commitment
to his teammates, to his friends, to the
Red Wings, to the city of Detroit and —
above all — to his family," Bettman said.
"Sending our thoughts and prayers to the
Howe family and to the millions of hockey fans who like me loved Gordie Howe.
RIP Mr. Hockey."

Brooks Thompson, 1st-round NBA pick, dies at 45 in Texas
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Brooks
Thompson, a first-round NBA draft pick
and former Texas-San Antonio men's
basketball coach, has died. He was 45.
A UTSA statement announced Thompson died Thursday. Sports information
spokesman Jordan Korphage said Friday
that Thompson died in San Antonio.
Korphage said Thompson had been ill
in recent months. No cause of death was
immediately released.
Orlando made Thompson the 27th
pick of the 1994 draft. He also played
for Utah, Denver, Phoenix and New York
during four seasons in the NBA.
"He was an excellent shooter and
very knowledgeable," Richie Adubato,
who coached Thompson as an assistant
in Orlando, said on the team's website.
"He was instant offense for us. We would
run screens for him. Great attitude. Really understood the game. He was a great
person."
Thompson appeared in 71 regular-season games in Orlando and averaged 3.6
points and shot 35 percent from 3-point
range. His memorable performance with
the Magic came when he scored 17 points
in Game 4 of the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals against the Chicago Bulls.
"He was a great teammate," former
Magic player Jeff Turner said on the Magic website. "We had a lot of great conversations about the league. He worked
hard. He would always do things for
Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal), Horace (Grant)
and the guys. Great spirit about him."
The news came just two days after another former Magic player, Sean Rooks,
passed away.
Thompson’s best season was in 199697, when he averaged 6.8 points and 2.8
assists for Denver, with six starts in 65
games.
Thompson played college ball at Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. He earned
back-to-back All-Big Eight selections at
Oklahoma State in 1993 and 1994. His
15.8 points per game are 12th in school
history and his 5.4 assists per game rank
fourth. He’s second in school history in
steals (2.7 average) and 3-point percentage (.431).
Following his NBA career, Thompson
returned to Oklahoma State as an assistant coach on Eddie Sutton’s staff for the
1998-99 and 2001-02 seasons. He later
served two seasons on Rob Evans’ staff
at Arizona State before taking over the
UTSA program.
Thompson later spent 10 seasons
at UTSA, going 133-178. His squad
claimed the Southland Conference Tournament championship in 2011 and made
an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
The Roadrunners then defeated Alabama State in the First Four to claim the
school’s first NCAA Tournament win in
any sport.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Muhammad Ali made his final journey through
his hometown Friday — past the little
pink house where he grew up and the
museum that bears his name — as an
estimated 100,000 mourners along the
route pumped their fists and chanted,
"Ali! Ali!" for the former heavyweight
champion of the world known simply as
The Greatest.
A hearse bearing Ali's cherry-red
casket, draped in an Islamic tapestry,
arrived at Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery in a long line of black limousines
after a 19-mile drive via Muhammad
Ali Boulevard that was both somber and
exuberant.
"He stood up for himself and for
us, even when it wasn't popular," said
Ashia Powell, waiting at a railing for
the hearse to pass by on an interstate
highway below.
A private graveside service was held
in the afternoon, and was followed later
in the day by a grand memorial service
at a sports arena packed with celebrities and politicians, including former
President Bill Clinton and comedian
Billy Crystal.
Ali, the most magnetic and controversial athlete of the 20th century, died
last Friday at 74 after a long battle with
Parkinson's disease. The brash and
outspoken athlete transcended sports to
become a powerful source of black pride
and a symbol of professional excellence
recognized around the world.
The casket was loaded into a hearse
outside a funeral home as a group of
pallbearers that included former boxers
Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis and actor Will Smith filed out, along with Ali's
nine children, his widow, two of his exwives and other family members.
As the limousines rolled past on the
way to the cemetery, fans chanted like
spectators at one of his fights, stood on
cars, held up cellphones and signs, ran
alongside the hearse and reached out to
touch it. They tossed so many flowers
onto the windshield that the driver had
to pull some of them off to see the road.
Others fell silent and looked on reverently as the champ went by.
“To me, he was a legend to this city
and an example to people. I’m just glad
to be part of this history, of saying goodbye,” said Takeisha Benedict, wearing
an orange “I Am Ali” T-shirt. “Opening
it up and allowing us to be part of it,
we’re so appreciative.”
Among the hundreds gathered outside
the funeral home was Mike Stallings, of
Louisville, who brought his two young
sons to bid farewell to the sports legend
who grew up in Louisville as Cassius
Clay.
“I’ve been crying all week,” he said.
“As big as he was he never looked down
on people. He always mingled among
the crowds.”

Miller’s contract talks on hold for now
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
(AP) — So much for
Von Miller's prediction
of peaceful contract talks
this offseason.
An impasse in negotiations has uncorked the
startling possibility that
the Super Bowl MVP
could sit out the 2016
season.
It's a remote possibility, to be sure, one that
could harm his popularity and marketability that
have skyrocketed since
he wrecked the Carolina
Panthers' coronation at
the Super Bowl.
But it's an option
should the sides fail to
reach an agreement on a
long-term contract over
the next six weeks.
Miller has repeatedly said he wants to be
a Bronco for life, but the
sides aren't talking after
Miller's camp declined to
accept Denver's offer by
Tuesday night's deadline
set by the team.
Miller has skipped
the Broncos offseason
program, but he joined his
teammates for their White
House tour Monday and
told reporters there had
been progress in contract
talks between his agent,
Joby Branion, and the
Broncos.
Thirty-six hours later,
Denver shifted its focus
to re-signing Emmanuel
Sanders and Brandon
Marshall.
Miller is expected
to rejoin his teammates
Sunday night when they
collect their rings for
winning Super Bowl 50,
where Miller’s two sackstrips of Cam Newton
led to both of Denver’s
touchdowns in its 24-10
win.
