Hereford tax, utilty rates among lowest in region By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
2 cents, its proposed 2016-17 budget also includes a 3 percent hike in water and sewer rates. Commissioners approved proceeding with the proposed increases to balance a $9.6 million budget in a 5-2 vote at their Aug. 15 meeting. With city officials acknowledging that no one likes increased taxes and utility rates, Assistant City Manager and Finance Director Steve Bartels distributed a pair of charts to
While the bad news is city residents will likely see an increase in property taxes, as well as water and sewer rates, the good news is the hikes will come on some of the lowest rates in the region.

The figures showed Hereford had some of the lowest individual and overall rates. For tax rates, Hereford’s listed 35-cents-per-$100-valuation rate was the second-lowest among the 21 cities including Monahans, Snyder, Lubbock, Sweetwater, Midland, Brownfield, Odessa,

Plainview, Borger, Abilene, Levelland, Lamesa, Brownwood, Pecos, San Angelo, Big Spring and Stanton. Monahans (33.04 cents) had the lowest tax rate, while Stanton’s $1.17 was the highest. Big Spring ($1.01) was the only other more than $1. Only seven of the 21 were less than 50 cents, and nine were between 62.59 cents (Kermit) and 82.75 cents (San Angelo). Also in that group are Levelland,

By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Cooler temperatures combined with appreciable rainfall throughout Deaf Smith County has prompted officials to lift the county’s burn ban until further notice. County Judge D.J. Wagner took overnight rain totals from Aug. 25 into account when considering the action. “Due to the significant rainfall last night [Aug. 25], we are lifting the burn ban until further notice, but we still encourage everyone to be diligent anytime they have an outdoor fire,” Wagner said. According to Hereford Fire Marshal Dean Turney, the county has received enough rain, anywhere from one-fourth inch to over an inch in various locations,
to warrant the repeal. Grassfires remain a possibility, but vegetation has sufficiently “greened up” to make starting fires difficult, he said. “The county has seen some good rain, although it has fallen in strips,” Turney said. “Grassfires have slowed tremendously.” The Hereford Fire Departments’ last response to a grassfire, caused by lightning, occurred Aug. 8. Lower temperatures in the run up to autumn have lessened energy release components, a fuel moisture index regarding living and dead vegetation. “Grassfires ignite faster when it’s hot and dry,” Turney said. “When it’s over a 100 degrees outside with less than 10 PLEASE SEE BAN | 3A

Taking her upbringing to hearts By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Sometimes sources of inspiration remain elusive, but sometimes it is drawn from every experience that has led up to this point. Everyday inspiration – from her job with Amarillo Heart Group (AHG) to her upbringing in cattle country – has pushed 1999 Hereford High School graduate Laura Schulze into previously uncharted research regarding possible genomic effects of bovine respiratory diseases on cattle myocardium. “Consider the flu,” Schulze said. “When someone is said to have died from the flu, they died from the damage that the virus caused and not the flu itself.” To simplify, Schulze is trying to determine whether or not there are genetic markers that would determine which cattle are likely to die from heart damage following a bout with bovine respiratory disease. Schulze’s research at West Texas A&M University led to her being named Texas A&M University’s first Biomedical Research Immersion and Diversity Graduate Education (BRIDGE) program intern. “I watched a lot of surgeries while interning for Dr. Martinez [at AHG], and he made certain that I had an appreciation for all the engineering that went into heart catheters,” Schulze said. “While using the plunging apparatus, I discovered how little tissue is needed for synthesis.” According to Schulze, this realization led her to cattle, as her degree plan requires a large animal study, because cattle and humans suffer from similar health issues on occasion. A year-and-a-half of research confirmed Schulze’s notion that there had never been a ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis from a viral aspect, thus she collected heart apices (the literal bottom of the heart) from WTAMU’s Department of Agriculture. “Cattle DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] has been sequenced,” Schulze said. “I’m looking for RNA factors that turn proteins on and off like light switches.” Schulze’s BRIDGE internship in College Station will permit her to expand her current research on the heart samples to look for genetic connections between bovine respiratory disease

possibly serving to make medicine more individual specific, but that is down the line following breedand age-specific research,
she said. “It’s my deep respect for the families that put meat on our tables and the love of my hometown that drove me to study cattle,” Schulze said. “I’m hoping for a human correlation, but I’ll be just as excited to prove it on the cattle side.” Schulze is a junior biology and pre-medicine major at WTAMU, who plans on obtaining a master’s degree while becoming an officer in the U.S. Navy. Following a Ph.D. in genetics and a medical degree with a specialization in electrophysiology, she hopes to serve aboard the U.S.N.S. Comfort, the world’s largest hospital at sea.

RAND Lady Herd subdues Pats By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
a 6-4 lead into a 12-4 bulge that was never threatened. SJ got as close as seven at 16-9 and was down 19-11 before Josalynn Lara served out the second set for the Lady Herd, 25-11. Holding an 8-5 lead in the third set, Hereford’s Meagan Ellis served for eight consecutive points before sub Danielle Pena added two more to make it a 15-5 lead. The Lady Whitefaces ended up taking the third set, 25-10. Lara, who missed virtually all of the 2015 season with a knee injury, received a scare early in the third set when she was hurt avoiding the net. Fears were subsided when the injury was a rolled ankle and did not involve her knee. “We’re glad to have her back,” Beville said of Lara returning to action. “She will really be able to help us plug holes and fill spots in the lineup.” The Lady Herd was back on the court Friday and Saturday at the Frenship Volleyball Tournament.
Pretty much doing what they should have done, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces swept visiting San Jacinto Christian Academy aside Tuesday in volleyball action. The win was the second straight and fourth in the last five matches for the Lady Herd as they improved to 10-8 on the season. “We played pretty well,” Hereford coach Catherine Beville said. “We made too many mental mistakes and too many hitting errors. “We were trying to do too much some of the time rather than letting the game come to us. We made some mistakes that let them back into sets.” That assessment was evident in the first set when the Lady Herd built a 10-1 lead before the Lady Pats pulled within 17-14. From there, it was pretty much lights out. Scoring eight straight to close out the first set, 25-14, the Lady Whitefaces used a 6-0 second-set spurt to turn

Amarillo rough run for netters By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Josalynn Lara goes up for the kill during the Lady Herd's sweep of San Jacinto Christian Academy on Tuesday.
AMARILLO – A fivematch win streak came to a screeching halt and there were few bright spots for the Hereford tennis team in the Amarillo Team Tournament. Coming into the Aug. 18-19 event on the wave of the win streak that evened their record at 5-5, the Whitefaces could only muster one win in four tourney matches. “We didn’t have a successful Amarillo Team Tournament,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “I was super disappointed in our effort [in the opening loss to Plainview] and thought we did everything we could to lose a match we should have won every time. “That was an inexcusable loss. Luckily we get to see them on Sept. 8 when it really matters.” The Herd opened against new District 3-5A foe Plainview in a non-league match. Trailing 4-3 after doubles, the Whitefaces
then dropped six of the 11 singles matches to fall 10-8. Wins at No. 1 girls doubles and No. 2 girls singles were the only bright spots in a subsequent 17-2 loss to Frenship. Play on Aug. 19 opened against Randall JV, where Aubrey Schueler lost a third-set tiebreaker at No. 6 girls singles to secure the 9-10 Raider win. The Whitefaces closed the tournament with a 14-5 win over Vernon to improve to 6-8 on the season. Kara Esquivel and Addi Ferris continued their stellar play at No. 1 girls doubles – winning all four of their tournament matches. After losing the first two matches of the season, the tandem has now won 12 in a row. The Herd is back on the court Saturday with a trip to take on Rider and Old High. They return home Tuesday to host Amarillo High for the opener of the District 3-5A season.

The Friemel family history (over 500 pages) was recently made into a DVD entitled, “Remembering the Early Generations,” his last gift to his family. He was very proud of his family heritage, and their role in establishing the town of Umbarger. He also loved to tinker with antique cars, tractors and engines, and loved to build things. He will always be remembered for his love

He served in the U.S. Army as an aircraft mechanic during and after the Korean War, stationed in Yokohama, Japan. Jerome married Romilda M. Gerber on April 23, 1957 in Umbarger. He spent a great deal of his life farming north of Hereford from 19572007, along with many other business ventures.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
What The Bible Says Chances are, there may be someone today who is reading this article who believes in God and Jesus Christ as his son. Because they believe in God and Jesus, they consider themselves Christians. They are basically good people.....they don’t do bad things. They are satisfied they will spend eternity with God. But what if this person only attends worship services occasionally.....or hardly ever.....or never? Perhaps once they were in attendance more often, but over time have drifted out of the habit of attending. Is this OK with God? Hebrews 10:24-26 reads “and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, us is the habit of some, but encouraging one another: and all the more; as you see the day drawing near. For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins”. Christians should welcome the day of our God, the first day of the week. We should desire meeting with fellow Christians so that collectively, we can offer our praise and worship to God, and offer our prayers of thanksgiving for all he has done for us. We should welcome the opportunity to sing our praises to God, and to take of the Lord’s Supper so that we can remember the blessings we have through Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 11 :24-26 We should remember the purpose of our meeting is not to please ourselves, but rather to worship and praise God. When I hear someone say “I just did not get anything out of church today”, it tells me they expected to be served....instead of being a servant. In I Peter 2:5, Peter wrote “you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ”. If we never or rarely attend church services, then we miss out on the opportunity to offer up these spiritual sacrifices to God. How will we defend a willing absence from church attendance when we stand before God in judgement?

OPINION Lawmakers should leave grants alone Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says he's figured out a way to slow soaring college tuition costs. All the state has to do is eliminate the 20 percent of tuition that universities are required to set aside for students who need financial help. He's convinced that money could be applied across-the-board to bring down the costs for all students. But analysis revealed a tragic consequence in Patrick's plan: Ending the set-asides would gut two grant programs and could kill any chance that thousands of poor – and even some middle-class – Texas students can attend college at all. That makes no sense, especially since the savings for higher-income students would be modest and poorer kids need the subsidies most. Lawmakers and universities have repeatedly been asked to work together to bring down the cost of tuition – which has ballooned 300 percent since 1990. But Patrick's plan would do more harm than good, cutting millions of dollars that go to needy students. Full-time students at four-year schools who contribute to the set-asides would see an average tuition drop of 7 percent, or $482 a year. The average full-time undergraduate who benefits from both grant programs would lose $3,600 each year. Community college students would lose, too. That's not a good trade-off in a state like Texas, where most high school graduates have to borrow money for college. Other students will make the decision to skip college altogether because they simply can't afford it. Nor does it bode well for the long-term economic health of the state; it would exacerbate the problems of a shrinking middle class and a widening income disparity. We can't afford that. Patrick spokesman Keith Elkins defended the plan, and said that if more tuition dollars are needed for needy students, then "the Legislature should step up and provide those funds." It should. But excuse us if we don't hold our breath. Texas' underfunding of higher education is a big part of how we got here in the first place. The state cut $173 million in funding in 2003 alone. Predictably, that has resulted in students paying a bigger share of tuition costs. The state needs to put more money in the pot. Four-year institutions need to do their part, as well, by being strong financial stewards and coming up with solutions to hold costs down – and not just pass them on to students. Lawmakers have been in a contentious battle for years on how to make college more affordable. We look forward to the report from Gov. Greg Abbott's task force – with members from the Texas Education Agency, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Workforce Commission – on innovative solutions to this multipronged problem. Lawmakers need to take a comprehensive approach to bringing these costs down. Focusing on one small slice of the problem is woefully shortsighted and could hurt more students than it helps.

Trump is pivoting, changing, Anyone who endorses him, or evolving, selling out – whatever merely says they’ll vote for you want to call it. It’s long him, is automatically labeled a racist or a misogynist. overdue. That’s why people like It may be too late for the New & Improved Trump and Paul Ryan and so many congressmen running for rethe GOP. He has only two months election senators are so scared to retrieve the millions of of Trump. They endorse him conservative Republican faithful who have been halfheartedly or not at all disgusted or embarrassed by because they don’t want to be thrown into the same bathtub the original Trump. Meanwhile, I think I’ve with him.
The mainstream liberal media is a big part of the problem, as usual. They make sure a vote for Trump is seen as a vote for racism, yet they would never dream of saying that a vote for Hillary is a vote for lying or influence peddling. Republicans at all levels have to understand that endorsing Trump or voting for him doesn’t make you a racist or a woman-hater – neither of which describes the real-life Donald Trump, by the way. Lots of people – including lots of blacks and Latinos – are going to vote for Trump, but will never tell their neighbors. So will lots of conservatives who say they hate Trump. Heck, my dad voted for Gerald Ford in 1976 and didn’t even tell Nancy. He didn’t want to sleep on the couch. It’s up to Trump to add a few gallons of chlorine to his bathwater so conservatives who aren’t Ann Coulter don’t mind bathing in it, which, figuratively, is what he’s trying to do now with his Great Pivot. It’s up to Ryan and the other party leaders to give Trump their full support as we head for November. (Michael Reagan is the son of former President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant and author.)
Get this: According to The New York Times, some wives are threatening to divorce their husbands if the fellows vote for Donald Trump. The Times featured one couple, a male dentist and a female a doctor, who had never talked much about politics before. When the wife learned her husband was for Trump, she threatened to divorce him and move to Canada. Sheesh. It makes one long for the good old days when a fellow had to run off with a cocktail waitress before his wife called in the lawyers. The Federalist shared some interesting insights on The Times article. Journalist Denise C. McAllister argues that in 2016, “you are who you vote for.” And why, she ponders, do some voters who loathe Trump for what they perceive to be his negative characteristics give Hillary Clinton a free pass with hers? Hillary does have a long history of habitually telling tale tales. She failed to be a good feminist by aggressively attacking the women her husband was caught having dalliances with. Even an ardent Hillary supporter has to concede that she used her power in the State Department to dole out favors in return for massive contributions to the foundation she and her husband own. So why is Trump getting hit so hard whereas Hillary is largely given a free pass? McAllister argues that it is a reflection of the pathetic state of our culture. “In our society, the Left has effectively shifted our culture’s values away from traditional morals to a specified group of behaviors they deem intolerable above any other,” she writes. “The new commandments are: Thou shalt not be a racist. Thou shalt not be a sexist. Thou shalt not be a homophobe. Anything else is acceptable.” Being a middle-aged Caucasian male with libertarian leanings, I know I’d be wise to not comment on this matter. Time and again, during the primaries, Trump outmaneuvered the groupthink tactics that destroyed many Republicans before him. Many found Trump’s antiPC persona refreshing. He’s faltering in the general election, however, and one of the reasons is that lots of otherwise welleducated and thoughtful human beings see him as the devil incarnate at the same time they’re able to look blindly beyond Hillary’s peccadilloes. So if you’re a husband who plans to vote for Trump, you better lie about it – unless you want your wife to divorce you and move to Canada. (Tom Purcell is an author and humor columnist.)
