Ah, chips

Official OK given to new facility

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Along with a first public hearing on a proposed property tax increase for 2016-17, the Hereford City Commission held a called meeting Monday to clear up unfinished business. Commissioners gave unanimous approval to a plat for an assistedliving facility planned for construction near Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) on West 15th Street. Originally on the commission’s Aug. 15 regular meeting agenda, Place 4 Commissioner Linda Cumpton moved a vote on the plat – which was submitted by C.P. Homes – be tabled after city attorney Audie Sciumbato raised uncertainty over whether such a vote must be preceded by a public hearing. HANNA Sciumbato informed commissioners Monday he was being “overly cautious” and research showed no public hearing was required in this case. Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said plans for the facility have been in the works for three years or “maybe longer.” “[C.P. Homes] has not been moving fast on this project, but is seems now they are ready to move,” Hanna said. Hanna had previously revealed there was no obligation under state, county or municipal law for commissioners to officially approve the plat. He added C.P. Homes requested official approval in accordance with its financing agreement. Although few specifics about the facility are available – such as overall size, number of rooms and beds, etc. – according to Hanna, the plat shows the facility abutting the drainage ditch on the east side of HRMC – between the hospital and Walmart. Hanna also said there have been no indications when construction and/ or completion is expected.

Flashing lights, sirens and a brand-new, shiny ambulance notwithstanding, 1-year-old Jax Castro was more on the lookout for lunch during Thursday’s Hereford Regional Medical Center EMS Open House to show off the new equipment. First, he located the chips, then quickly sniffed out the grill.

The Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) Board of Directors ordered an election during its Aug. 22 called meeting as terms for a quorum on the seven-member board are set to expire this year. A second called meeting on Aug. 29 resulted in the election’s lone challenger, Chris Woodard, drawing the top ballot position for the Nov. 8 plurality election followed by incumbents Harold McNutt, Debbie Gonzalez, Rose Mary Barrett and June Rudd, respectively. GONZALEZ “Some people believe that the person on top [of the ballot] might have some advantage, which is why they had to draw,” said Deaf Smith County Clerk Imelda DeLaCerda, who oversees county elections. According to DeLaCerda, plurality elections differ from majority elections in that no single candidate needs more than 50 percent of the votes in order to claim victory. With four seats open, voters will be able to cast four votes on the DSCHD’s portion of the ballot, which will be at the bottom, she said. “Since this coincides with the presidential DELACERDA election, above that portion it will read ‘vote none or vote one,’” DeLaCerda said. “For the hospital board, it will read ‘vote none or vote [up to] four.’” Even though some voters will vote straight tickets, (choosing candidates based upon political parties), hospital board candidates will not have their personal political affiliation noted on the ballots, she said. The ballots also will not indicate which candidates are incumbents.

Amarillo college campus fighting for self-defense class By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer

The first rule of Amarillo College’s Fight Like a Girl

class is to tell everyone about it. By promoting the class at its sister campus, Amarillo College Hinkson Memorial Campus (ACHMC) in Hereford is fighting to bring a one-day, all-female, self-defense course to Hereford. “We’re trying to drum up interest in the

Hereford community,” ACHMC Executive Director Daniel Esquivel said. “We could bring it here fairly quickly.” The 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Sept. 10 course for females aged 15 and up at Amarillo College’s West Campus will be taught by a certified law enforcement officer and is intended to provide

situational awareness and basic self-defense skills. The class will utilize a variety of instructional components, including lecture, discussion, avoidance techniques and physical resistance strategies. “Basically, it’s an intervention-type program,” Esquivel said.

“Even though nothing has come about to warrant it, it’s always good to have a little extra protection.” The class is appropriate for all community members – mothers and daughters, friends, high school and college students and working professionals are encouraged to attend.

Loose-fitting clothing and closed-toe shoes are required and only wrestling shoes or socks will be permitted on the training mats. No previous physical skills or self-defense training is necessary. PLEASE SEE CLASS | 3A

News DSCHD goes back to BKD for audits

Make submissions to editor@herefordbrand.com

By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Past professional relationships may pay dividends for Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) as the Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) Board of Directors unanimously approved a motion to employ the auditing services of BKD (formerly known as Baird, Kurtz and Dobson). Incoming DSCHD CEO Jeff Barnhart acknowledged that he had previously worked with BKD consulting partner Deborah Whitley when he served as CEO of Ochiltree General Hospital in Perryton. “You need to have an

independent auditor – one with no conflict of interest” DSCHD interim CEO Gene Schuler said. “I prefer to have auditors in state and, while I have never worked with BKD, they have a good reputation throughout Texas.” Headquartered in Springfield, Mo., BKD is one of the 12 largest firms in the U.S. with 35 national offices, including a Waco office – which will service HRMC – that has 13 staffers who solely address reimbursement issues, Whitley said. According to Schuler, DSCHD had previously employed the BKD reimbursement group until 2012 before switching to Dingus, Zarecor and Associates – effectively shooting the messenger

for what Schuler termed “financial misrepresentation.” “At that time, we brought things to the board’s attention that they did not want to hear,” Whitley said. BKD’s Waco office’s sole focus is rural and community hospitals and health care, representing hospitals in Dumas, Hansford, Canadian and Wheeler, she said. The reimbursement group’s familiarity with hospitals of similar size will afford DSCHD peer-to-peer comparisons when they generate reports for the board. “We won’t place your hospital up against some vague national standard,” Whitley said. “You’ll be compared to hospitals that I

well as additional tables and chairs for Hereford Community Center. “Both of these are items that essentially all our departments can use,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “We spend as much renting those things annually [as it will be buying them].” Both the Fire and Street departments have $25,000 allocations. Remaining capital proposals include $20,000 for the Finance Office; $7,750 for Animal Control; and $5,000 for the airport. The fire department’s funding is to replace firefighter gear as needed. “We will not have fire equipment breaking down,” Hanna said. “It happened twice recently when they were returning from calls.” Among the financed items listed as 201617 capital items but not included within the overall budget is $235,000 for a new Street Department

motor grader, $140,000 for a truckmounted sewer-cleaning machine, and $180,000 for a new cart at Pitman Golf Course. The new cart barn – designed at 30x100 feet – is designed to replace the existing 22x100-foot building and will allow for more than just additional room. “The new cart barn is needed,” Hanna said. “After all the other improvements have been made at the golf course, the [current cart barn] is doggedly ugly.” Jokingly admitting that police and fire departments are “high maintenance,” Hanna was quick to add his affection for those in each department, as well as the “need” the community has for them and desire to “try to do what they need.”

know.” The transition back to BKD may not be perfectly smooth as Whitley said that hospital staffers must fill out internal control checklists and questionnaires. The first time through, she noted, often proves frustrating. Schuler said that BKD will also work in conjunction with recently contracted Ni2 Health, which is expected to increase revenue by improving coding and collection efforts for the hospital and clinic. “In my research, I’m very comfortable with employing them to do our audit,” DSCHD board president Mike Schueler said. “If there is something unpleasant, it does need to be brought to our attention.”

Opinion For-profit prisons gets Federal axe The “other shoe” has dropped on private companies that run federal prisons and immigrant detention centers, putting the future of several Texas facilities in question. It’s a situation that could bring financial hardship to the private prison companies and negative economic impacts to several Texas communities, but important questions have been raised about how well these facilities operate. The Justice Department said Aug. 18 that it would phase out use of forprofit lockups for federal prisoners nationwide. The facilities grew out of a time when “tough on crime” policies brought federal prisons more inmates than they could house. Now that pressure has slackened. Texas has five for-profit prisons that house almost 10,000 federal inmates, out of about 22,000 in private facilities nationwide. All told, there are more than 190,000 federal inmates nationwide. But Deputy U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates said there’s more to it than declining inmate populations. The private facilities, she said, “simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources; they do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the Department’s Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security.” The companies that run the private prisons have denied those claims. Now comes that “other shoe.” The Department of Homeland Security said Monday that it will review its use of private facilities – run by the same companies as the private prisons – to detain illegal immigrants who are awaiting immigration proceedings or removal to their home countries. Two South Texas centers, near Karnes City and Dilley, have drawn a significant amount of attention from immigrantrights advocates. They house women and children taken into custody on the Texas-Mexico border, primarily during a 2014 surge in illegal immigration from Central America. Rights advocates have complained repeatedly about conditions in the Karnes City and Dilley centers. When the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services moved in to license the centers as child-care facilities and thus gain some regulatory control over those conditions, those advocates blocked the move in court. They said the centers are prisons, not child-care facilities. The Department of Homeland Security review, due to be completed at the end of November, should shed some light on that question.

And that means

talking about the economy, jobs and lying Hillary’s personal failings, which are huge. Trump’s campaign staff had a good week. But calling Hillary a bigot because she takes the black vote for granted was a total waste of time. It’s not going to win Trump votes in November. When I tried to tell the Trump team that in a tweet this week, the response I got from a campaign operative in Trump Tower was, “Oh, are you on the Hillary Clinton payroll? That’s the common response from Trumpsters and the campaign’s brain trust. If you say anything critical they say, “You must be on Hillary’s payroll.” They don’t want my advice, but everything I’ve said about Trump’s campaign has been proven to be true. I told them not to hire Paul Manafort to run the campaign. But they did – and then had to fire him. I told them long ago Trump had to soften his approach to Latinos – and eventually he did. I think. I refuse to be a Trump enabler. I’ve decided to be a consultant to him via Twitter or my columns. (Michael Reagan is the son of former President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant and author.)

The recent flooding in Baton Rouge is a study in media bias if you compare it to media coverage of Hurricane Katrina. While Baton Rouge flooded, President Obama continued to play golf at Martha’s Vineyard, as if nothing was happening, and the media gave him a pass. George W. Bush was accused of being a racist when he cut his vacation short and did a flyover of New Orleans back in 2005. Talk about double standards. Without a doubt, media coverage of Katrina was a hack job done by Bushhaters who wanted to paint the sitting president in the worst possible light. Because they had an agenda, they failed to report about what may well have been one of the most successful searchand-rescue operations in American history. NBC News’ Brian Williams missed the real story because he was busy misreporting unfacts about un-events that the Washington Post said he perhaps “misremembered” the same way he did about his helicopter ride in Iraq. Williams and NBC News were awarded the 2005 Peabody Award for coverage of Hurricane Katrina. The award website states NBC reported on “all angles of events related to Hurricane Katrina” including “disintegrating social conditions” in New Orleans and for posing “difficult questions to government officials… dealing with issues of race and class…” They covered all angles? What a bunch of bologna. Williams was eventually relieved of his duties as NBC anchor for the kind of tale telling one would expect to hear while sipping hot cocoa around a campfire at Lake Wobegon. Which leads us to Baton Rouge, where flood waters ravaged homes and torrential rains delivered death and destruction – and the mainstream media ran cover for their golden boy who found time to pull away from his merriment at Martha’s Vineyard for a posh Hillary fundraiser, but was far too busy to fire up Air Force One to pay a visit as Comforterin-Chief. The outright hypocrisy of Obama golfing while the waters rose in Baton Rouge after making political hay out of his predecessor’s so-called indifference makes no difference to the BushDeranged-Syndrome media crowd who continue to cover for the guy who promised that waters would recede on his watch but obviously didn’t.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made”. John 1:1-3 These verses are talking about Jesus Christ. In verse 17 of this chapter, scripture says “for the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”. The idea that Christ has always existed with God in Heaven is difficult for us to comprehend, If he has always been with God in spiritual form, how did he come to earth in a physical form? You can read about this in Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-35 and Luke 2:1-20. We understand that the Jews should have known about Christ’s birth because they had written copies of the law and prophets. For example, in Matthew 1:21-23, scripture tells us “And she will bring forth a Son and you shall call His name JESUS, for he will save His people from their sins. So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a Son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated ‘God with us’. This is a quote from Isaiah 7:14. Even with this knowledge, scripture says “He (Christ) came to His own (the Jews), and His own did not receive him”. John 1:11. Along with this, Jesus did many miracles, wonders, and signs among the people, and the Jew chief priests and Pharisees were aware of these (John 11:47-48). In spite of this, they still did not believe in Him (John 12:37). But the Bible also tells us “Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” John 12:42-43. Today, even though we can read Christ’s words “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6), there are many who do not recognize Christ as the Son of God. Many recognize other ‘prophets’ or man made images as the way to a higher being. And there are still those who say they recognize Christ as the Son of God.... but they do not obey him. They know little or nothing about his words, or the words of the inspired Apostles. Christ Himself, as he prayed for his Apostles before he left this earth, said “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word’. John 17:20

GIVE YOUR LOAN PAYMENT THE MONTH OFF BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 At First Financial Bank, we know how it is this time of year: back to school expenses can put a strain on your resources. So we’re offering our Skip-A-Payment* program. You can defer your payment on any installment loan in either August or September 2016. Then just pick your payment back up the next month. It’s just one more way we put You First. *Skip-A-Payment requires one month’s interest payable at time of request and lengthens the maturity of the loan. Other conditions may apply.

We should understand that belief only will not save us. Consider John 1:12-13: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. When are we born again? Rom 6:3-4 says “Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life”.

HRMC CEO no stranger By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Accepting the CEO position at Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) is a homecoming of sorts for former Lynn County Hospital CEO Jeff Barnhart, who assumed HRMC’s helm Aug. 22. Barnhart effectively grew up, from the fifth grade through high school, in neighboring Canyon, and he met his wife of 24 years, Marci, on the West Texas A&M University campus. “I was working with the campus police department, and we pulled her over during one of our ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaigns,” Barnhart said. “I’m pretty sure she got off with a warning.” The couple’s relationship, however, did not truly begin until a mutual friend formally introduced them later at Palo Duro Hospital. In 1986, Barnhart began working for Northwest Texas Healthcare System in Emergency Medical Services and became a certified paramedic during his tenure there. “I held various positions and even self-created a position [with approval] as a regional liaison between area hospitals and physicians,” Barnhart said. “That’s where I developed a strong interest and liking for rural health care.” Prior to serving as Lynn County Hospital’s CEO, Barnhart was Northwest Texas Surgery Center’s CEO and CEO at Ochiltree

Below, HRMC Emergency Services Director Marcos Castro gives Barnhart a tour of the hospital’s new ambulance. General Hospital from 2008-13. Despite loving the land and people down south, his father, who once worked for Southwestern Bell in Hereford, had fallen ill, so he accepted the Lynn County position in 2015 to be nearer his family. “I just don’t know how you’re supposed to do that,” Barnhart

said. “How are you supposed to care for your parents from 10 hours away?” Family and community involvement are highly important for Barnhart, who has served on boards for the Boy Scouts of America, Perryton’s and Lynn County’s Chamber of Commerce, Ochiltree and Lynn County 4-H, Waka Christian Center, Perryton

Country Club, Perryton United Way and Rotary Clubs in Tahoka and Perryton. Jeff and Marci Barnhart have two daughters – Halee, a senior majoring in Agricultural Communications, and Kayla, currently in her junior year at Canyon High School until the family selects a home in Hereford. “My family enjoys supporting 4-H and FFA, so we’re really looking forward to engaging with the community in those agriculture-based areas among others,” Barnhart said. The transition into his new role with HRMC has been smooth, and

his management style is expected to address what many see as an image problem for the hospital. Barnhart believes that once HRMC’s employees feel ownership in their labors, the rest will take care of itself. “I’m a firm believer in one team, one mission,” Barnhart said. “I believe in keeping health care as local as possible, and I know that bigger is not always better when it comes to hospitals. “At the end of the day, there’s already a lot of forward momentum happening [at HRMC] and I’m happy to be a part of that and providing the best local health care we possibly can.”

Slow start pens Lady Herd By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

BRAND/John Carson

Erin Jesko returns a serve during a win at No. 2 girls doubles as part of Thursday's 17-2 district-opening loss to Amarillo.

Sandies blow past Whiteface netters

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor One of the top Class 5A tennis teams in the state showed why Thursday when Amarillo blitzed Hereford, 17-2 in the District 3-5A opener. In a match postponed from Tuesday by weather, the Herd fell to 6-10 overall and 0-1 in league play. “They are the thirdranked team in the state, and they have one of the best boys teams in any classification,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “I know the scores weren’t that close in a lot of matches, but with the exception of No. 1 girls doubles, I thought we played well but just ran into a much better team.” The Herd top girls doubles tandem of Kara Esquivel and Addi Ferris – who stood at 13-3 on the season heading into Thursday – were poised

to start a new win streak before squandering an 8-2 lead in a third-set tiebreaker to fall, 6-4, 2-6, 8-10. The only victories for the Herd came at No. 2 girls doubles – where Erin Jesko and Priscilla Castillo won in a thirdset tiebreaker – and at No. 3 girls singles as Jesko took a 6-4, 6-2 match. The only other match to go three sets was at No. 2 girls singles, where Ferris fell to Makena Chesley. Ferris and Jesko were the only HHS singles players to win a set. The Herd is back on the court Thursday when the district schedule continues at Plainview. The Whitefaces faced Plainview in the Aug. 18-19 Amarillo Team Tournament and lost, 8-10, in a match that did not count on league standings.

Sputtering to open and a handful of runs proved the difference Tuesday as the visiting Tascosa Lady Rebels took a 3-1 volleyball victory over Hereford. The loss dropped the Lady Whitefaces to 13-11 on the season. “We started out slow and didn’t put the ball down,” Hereford coach Catherine Beville said. “Their big players got on a roll, and that made it tough.” Anchored by a tall and athletic front line, the Lady Rebels used a 9-2 run in the first set to turn a 5-4 deficit into a 13-7 lead. The Lady Herd pulled to within 15-12, but a 6-0 spurt made it 21-12 to essentially put the set away. Rebounding in the second set, the Lady Whitefaces held a 12-10 lead before stretching it to 18-12 and eventually sealing the set, 25-15, on a Meagan Ellis kill. A pair of early Lady Rebel runs set the tone for their 25-18 win in the third set. With only one scoring run of more than three points – and that was five – in the entire fourth set, the two teams went toe-totoe before the Lady Rebels emerged with a 25-23 win to secure the match. “We did a good job in

the second set,” Beville said. “We played games of five throughout, and it worked well for us. “We played great in the fourth set, but just ran out of gas.” The frontline trio of Ellis, Macy Gudgell and Jenna Lowrey provided most of the punch Tuesday for the Lady Herd – combining for 35 of the team’s 41 total kills. Ellis led the way with 16, followed by Gudgell with 11. Lowrey added 8.

PUBLIC RAND NOTICE

ereford

Without public notices in the newspaper, you're left guessing.

Public notice is your right to know about the issues that directly affect your life. And, you can easily find public notices in your local newspaper. Without public notices in the newspaper, you're left to guess about what the government is doing in your community and how elected officials are spending your tax dollars. Your local newspaper fulfills an essential role in serving your right to know. After all, it shouldn't be your responsibility to know how to look... where to look... when to look... and even what to look for in order to be informed about public information. It is the government's responsibility to notify you of public information, and your local newspaper is the most accessible place to find it.
