Not making the grade?
City OKs Leadership donation By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
BRAND/John Carson
Like many of its counterparts throughout the state, Hereford Independent School District officials are scurrying to deal with recent results of a proposed new statewide accountability system.
Report card results ‘not complete’ By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of a two-part series into results of a proposed statewide A-F grading system for school districts and their campuses. This story looks into the concerns the system has and could continue to create. The second part will look at the comparative reality of the results and how they correspond to HISD efforts and strategies.) “It is a tale…full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” While those words were penned by William Shakespeare more than 500 years ago, Hereford Independent School District (HISD) officials and their counterparts throughout the state are seeing the sentiment of MacBeth’s statement come to life as they are having to cope with public reaction – and perception – created by state accountability results. The release earlier this month containing results of a proposed new state rating system that gives school districts and their individual campuses an A-F letter has left parents

and communities aghast and school officials scrambling to calm concerns and fears. “These findings are very preliminary,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “This report was specifically done for the state legislature, but once it was released it became public record. “We were originally told any results would not be released until 2018.”
Under the proposed system, districts and schools are to be given letter grades in five “domains” of accountability. One of the initial concerns, Blankenship said, was that only four of those domains – student achievement (Domain I), student progress (Domain II), closing the gaps (Domain III) and postsecondary readiness (Domain IV) – were used for the initial results.

Leadership Hereford’s search for funding received a boost, and the coffers were a tad fuller after the Hereford City Commission approved a donation to the program during its regular meeting Monday. Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) executive director Michael Kitten addressed the issue to commissioners during Monday’s work session and officially got the OK during the subsequent meeting. “The program started with a $10,000 donation from HEDC two years ago,” Kitten said. “The HEDC board approved another $10,000 donation, and we need your approval to make it official. “The first class is going great, but we still have a little financial bump to get over.” KITTEN The inaugural Leadership class of 12 students is roughly half-way through its nine-month course of monthly classes that explores all aspects of the county’s elected bodies and civic organizations. The program, a staple in a large number of communities throughout the nation, is designed to inform and engage citizens into assuming more leadership roles and activities in their respective communities. The program curriculum encompasses a variety of civic topics, which includes attending meetings of each elected body and touring government facilities. “We are pursuing several grants, but have yet to hear back on some,” Kitten said. “We now need an influx of cash to finish the first class and reseed for the second.” The inaugural class, which started in September, ends in May and has proven to be popular. Kitten said the second class, which will begin in September, is expected to be double in size with 20-25 students. “We’re getting a good buy-in from those we have asked to help contribute,” he said. “The current tuition ($1,250) covers the class cost, but we’re also paying an executive director. “If we can get 20-25 students per class, then a slight tuition hike combined with grants should have it self-sustaining.” Kitten added that conversations with Leadership officials in other cities have revealed the program is “difficult to get off the ground, but well worth the effort.”
Changes are literally paying off for HRMC By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor Alterations in billing practices and raising prices closer to federal minimums are showing their advantages for Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC). Between financial reports and an update on the transition of billing systems, the Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) Board of Directors received the good news at Thursday’s regular meeting. “We are seeing an increase in cash collections,” DSCHD CFO Noralene Corder said. “I feel pretty good about those right now. We should continue to show a gradual pick up in those over the next two months before a big jump in March. “I like to see an increase in
cash.” Corder reported that hospital revenues for November were up $240,000 from the previous year. In addition, reports through December showed HRMC had a year-to-date profit of more than $140,000. “We had a pretty good November and December,” Corder said. “We had a good first quarter.” DSCHD’s fiscal year runs from Oct. 1-Sept. 30. Corder did caution that her reported numbers did not include “write-off debt.” The adjustment, she said, will come in March because federal mandates require attempts be made to collect outstanding bills for 120 days before they can be written off.

HRMC: Billing changes boosts revenue FROM PAGE 1
receiving payments and collections can be traced to changes in billing. Currently still in the transition, the new billing system was the focus of a report by Ni2 Health’s Jason Adam that showed streamlining and updating of billing, collection and customer service practices have proven an asset in just the first two months. In addition, price increases have played a part after it was determined HRMC had long been charging below federal Medicare minimums for services. The goal, Adams said, was to get those prices
to 10 percent above the Medicare minimums before moves are made to join a majority of the health-care industry that charges 250 percent of those minimums. That process, he added, would take a number of years to complete because prices cannot be dramatically increased at once or in a short amount of time. In other action, the board approved a second extension of a tax abatement agreement with Canadian Breaks over a wind energy project in the northern part of the county. The abatement was extended from Dec. 31, 2017 to Dec. 31, 2018.

Herd head-scratcher
Canyon boxes Lady Whitefaces
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor The Hereford Lady Whitefaces ran into a Canyon Tuesday and found themselves completely boxed in by the defending state champions, No. 4 and District 3-5A frontrunning Lady Eagles for a 60-32 loss. Having a three-game win streak snapped, the Lady Herd fell to 11-12 overall and 3-5 as the second trip through league play began. “The game all sums up to grabbing more defensive rebounds,” Hereford coach Christy Connally said. “Instead, we allowed them a lot of offensive rebounds that were converted into baskets and 3-pointers because Canyon is shooting the ball real right now.” The game was close until it tipped as the Lady Whitefaces dug a 20-0 hole before scoring their first points with 1:00 left in the first. The second half opened much the same way as the Lady Eagles pushed a 28-10 halftime lead to 48-18 after three before cruising home. “They jumped out on us from the getgo,” Connally said. “That forced us to try to get out of a really big hole. “We did take two of the four quarters from them, but we needed all four quarters or a complete game to defeat Canyon.” Despite the 38-point differential, the Lady Herd won both the second (8-6) and fourth periods (14-12) and improved on a 70-27 final at Canyon to open district play Dec. 13. Canyon’s Lexi Hernandez was the game’s only double-figure scorer with 12 points – including 8 in the first quarter – and led 10 Lady Eagles to scratch the scorebook. With 7 third-quarter points, Lexi Escobal scored all of her team-high 9 points in the second half to pace the Lady Whitefaces. Liz Ramirez canned a pair of fourth-

Hereford coach C.J. Villegas is still trying to figure out what happened Tuesday when his Whitefaces fell more than flat in a 4628, District 3-5A loss to visiting Canyon. Seeing a two-game win streak end, the Herd dropped to 9-12 and 2-4 in league play. “I’ve asked myself several times what happened,” Villegas said. “I don’t know. It’s on us. I don’t know if we were as focused as we should have been. “I really don’t know what happened. I’m speechless. I don’t know the reason behind it.” The Whitefaces took their only lead of the night at 1-0, then could not hit water if they fell out of a boat. Shooting at a basket that seemed to have a lid on it, the Herd trailed only 6-1 after the first, but found themselves looking up at 20-7 halftime deficit. Trailing 26-12 midway through the third, the Whitefaces found some life and used a 9-2 spurt to pull within 28-21 heading into the fourth.

The Grand Drive
By Trace Dodd Hereford High School junior
Everyone’s hearts were beating in their chests like a drum and getting faster with every passing moment. Competitors stood side-byside – outwardly smiling because that’s what showmanship teaches, but inwardly raging, battling their fears, own minds and opponents – as thoughts raced over all the time, sleepless nights, cold early mornings and endless chores that have been given. Then, there is the money, most of which has been bor-
rowed to buy feed and fund this project. These images are going through everyone’s minds as they await entry into the ring. All are wondering if they did everything right. Is it enough? Is this project what one man wants on one day? That day, which has been circled on the calendar for 12 months, is today. Hands shake like trees in a Panhandle breeze as cameras flash like fireflies in the night. The animals are perfectly still. They can feel the nervousness is in the air. The man of the hour – the
judge – walks around the line. Everyone can see the wheels turning in his mind. This moment can and will change everything. Everyone watching as he walks a lion stalking prey. Exhibitors stand still, daring to hardly even breathe. Then, there is an explosion of sound as tears run down some faces. For one young Ag enthusiast, a dream has come true, For others, instant resolve to try harder next year. Arms finally relax as the moment is over – but it will never be forgotten.

Hernandez takes Classic crown From Staff Reports Hereford’s Ashton Hernandez kept the pressure on competition in the Jan. 13-14 Lady Longhorn Classic wrestling tournament at Caprock High School as the season turns down the home stretch. Hernandez led a trio of Lady Whiteface grapplers into championship brackets at the tournament before walking away with the 215-pound title. A 2015 Class 5A state bronze medalist, Hernandez moved through the bracket with a quarterfinal pin of Hanks’ Rosanna Morales in 1:56 and a semifinal pin in 2:36 of Lizbeth Nevarez of El Paso-Bel Air. In the 215 championship match, Hernandez and Monterey’s Ambry McCann
battled into overtime before Hernandez emerged victorious. “This is promising for us,” Hereford coach Rachael Gutierrez said. “She saw a lot of girls from our region at this tournament and did well.” Although failing to make the medal stand, the Lady Herd had two others advance in their respective weights and place in the top half of the championship brackets. Angelica Carrillo pinned Montwood’s Britney Federico in 1:06 to open the 102-pound quarterfinals before finding herself on the other of a pin at 3:50 of her semifinal match against Tiffany Gandara of Parkland. In the championship consolation match, Hanks’ Shania Villalba was able to put
Carrillo on her back in 1:59 for the win as Carrillo finished fourth. At 119 pounds, Hereford’s Aliah Garcia battled all the way through the consolation bracket to also finish fourth. After getting pinned by Martha Moore of Liberty in the quarters, Garcia put together back-to-back pins to advance to the consolation match, where it took 4:33 for Bel Air’s Miah Klein to hear the slap for bronze. The Lady Whitefaces were back on the mat Saturday when they joined their male counterparts in in the Red River Classic at Vernon High School. They have matches at Palo Duro (Jan. 28) and at Caprock (Feb. 2) to lead into the Feb. 11 district tournament at Randall.
