Proudly Serving The High Plains Since 1901

For the second time in as many weeks, the b-bomb was dropped Monday around Hereford Independent School

District (HISD) as district officials alluded to the possibility of a bond being called for the November general election.

The mention of a potential bond was also made during discussion

of a separate issue at the March 26 meeting of the HISD Board of Trustees.

“The bond may have failed, but the needs didn’t go away,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said to

Monday’s final gathering of the Hereford Proud Ambassadors. “It may have been voted down, but we don’t believe we failed with it.

“We felt we won because people in the

community have been talking about Hereford schools.”

BRAND/John Carson

A usually mundane order of routine business took on a new meaning during Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court.

The first two items of each meeting’s agenda are approval of the minutes from the previous meeting, and paying bills and approving reports. They are almost always breezed through as the board gets down to other business.

However, while perusing the bills and reports, Precinct 3 Commissioner Mike Brumley inquired about a $15,000 expenditure for indigent services.

Deaf Smith County Auditor Trish Brown said the cost was for legal fees incurred BRUMLEY by a prisoner during a recent trial.

Indigent defense is proving a growing problem for county governments throughout the state.

According to reports from county officials, the state provides no more than 10 percent of the county almost $200,000 in annual indigent defense fees. The remainder comes from county funds.

“I believe county residents need to know how much we are spending on indigent defense,” Brumley said. “We’re paying on both sides – in the courtroom and in the jail.

“People need to be aware of the expense.

That was $15,000 on just one case.”

That particular case ended up being a four-day trial in Deaf Smith County State Court for 38-year-old Jereme Lee Escobedo.

He was ultimately convicted on two counts of sexual assault on a child with a previous conviction of the same offense surrounding a July 2016 incident with a 14-year-old, female family member.

When Monday’s meeting of the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Hereford Proud Ambassadors broke up, the group’s inaugural class had more than just the chicken and beef fajitas to digest.

Monday’s meeting was the final of three for the program’s annual gatherings. The program, based on a similar one observed by HISD officials at Lubbock Cooper High School, was instituted in October in response to build parent advocates for the district and dispel misinformation circulating in the community.

During the course of the three, twohour meetings, ambassadors received a crash course in some of the perceptual misinformation circulating and facility needs facing the district.

March Indictments

FROM PAGE 1

“The bonds may have failed [in 2015 and 2017], but the needs have not gone away,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said.

After ambassadors toured the soon-to-berenovated Tierra Blanca Elementary School and soon-to-be-closed Stanton Learning Center during their February meeting, Monday’s gathering saw them take a closer look at the Whiteface Stadium fieldhouse – an item that was on the failed 2017 bond and, at 56 years old, has long outlived its effective usefulness.

Of particular note was the freshman locker room, which also serves as locker room for visiting football teams.

Complaints have also arisen during the past two years from visiting teams about the fieldhouse facilities.

Ambassadors also toured the training room and weight facilities in the complex.

Following the tour, HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram provided detailed information on how and where the district received its funding, as well as on how and what for that funding is spent.

Blankenship closed the session with a discussion

on the district’s facility needs, safety concerns and the possibility of a bond being called for November.

“We’ll been able to address some of our needs,” she said, “but there are still needs that must be addressed. Safety and security issues have been identified as district-wide.

“The question is how to address those needs.

That’s what needs to be decided.”

She added district officials were looking to these ambassadors to use the information presented to have conversations “to enlighten the community.”

P., PO Box 56, Dawn, TX 79025-0056, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal and revision of Federal Operating Permit (herein referred to as Permit) No. O2806, Application No. 23280, to authorize operation of the Dawn Corn Milling Plant, a Wet Corn Milling facility. The area addressed by the application is located at 4819 FM 809 in Dawn, Deaf Smith County, Texas 79025. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to the application.

This application was received by the TCEQ on August 18, 2015.

The purpose of a federal operating permit is to improve overall compliance with the rules governing air pollution control by clearly listing all applicable requirements, as defined in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code § 122.10 (30 TAC § 122.10). The draft permit, if approved, will codify the conditions under which the area must operate. The permit will not authorize new construction. The executive director has completed the technical review of the application and has made a preliminary decision to prepare a draft permit for public comment and review. The executive director recommends issuance of this draft permit. The permit application, statement of basis, and draft permit will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Central Office, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building E, First Floor, Austin, Texas 78753; the TCEQ Amarillo Regional Office, 3918 Canyon Dr., Amarillo, Texas 79109-4933; and the Deaf Smith County Library, 211 E. 4th St., Hereford, Texas 79045-5521, beginning the first day of publication of this notice.

Public Comment/Notice and Comment Hearing. Any person may submit written comments on the draft permit. Comments relating to the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness of the permit conditions may result in changes to the draft permit.

A person who may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the permitted area may request a notice and comment hearing. The purpose of the notice and comment hearing is to provide an additional opportunity to submit comments on the draft permit. The permit may be changed based on comments pertaining to whether the permit provides for compliance with 30 TAC Chapter 122 (examples may include that the permit does not contain all applicable requirements or the public notice procedures were not satisfied). The TCEQ may grant a notice and comment hearing on the application if a written hearing request is received within 30 days after publication of the newspaper notice. The hearing request must include the basis for the request, including a description of how the person may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the application area. The request should also specify the conditions of the draft permit that are inappropriate or specify how the preliminary decision to issue or deny the permit is inappropriate. All reasonably ascertainable issues must be raised and all reasonably available arguments must be submitted by the end of the public comment period. If a notice and comment hearing is granted, all individuals that submitted written comments or a hearing request will receive written notice of the hearing. This notice will identify the date, time, and location for the hearing.

Written public comments and/or requests for a notice and comment hearing should be submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, or electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments. html and be received within 30 days after the date of newspaper publication of this notice. Please be aware that any contact information you provide, including your name, phone number, email address and physical address will become part of the agency’s public record.

A notice of proposed final action that includes a response to comments and identification of any changes to the draft permit will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments, a hearing request, or requested to be on the mailing list for this application. This mailing will also provide instructions for public petitions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to request that the EPA object to the issuance of the proposed permit. After receiving a petition, the EPA may only object to the issuance of a permit which is not in compliance with the applicable requirements or the requirements of 30 TAC Chapter 122.

Mailing List. In addition to submitting public comments, a person may ask to be placed on a mailing list for this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address above. Those on the mailing list will receive copies of future public notices (if any) mailed by the Chief Clerk for this application.

Information. For additional information about this permit application or the permitting process, please contact the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Public Education Program, MC-108, P.O.

“We plan to have bond conversations with the new members. The board will decide on how the district will proceed.”

HISD has until Aug. 22 to officially call a bond for its inclusion on the Nov. 6 ballot.

While some may question the strategy of floating a third bond issue in four years after the first two was decidedly defeated, Blankenship looks forward to the measure being called for November.

“Ideally, we would like it to be in November,” she said. “A future bond will address the concerns the community expressed through the last two bonds. We want them to know we listened and have heard them.

“The needs are still there and are not going away. They will only grow worse – as they have – if they are not addressed.”

Although hesitant to reveal the scope of a potential bond, Blankenship did say needed safety and security improvements for all HISD campuses would be a top funding priority.

I ask myself the question “why do Christians meet for worship on Sunday”?

Interestingly enough, there is no specific command to meet in worship on Sunday.

But for 2000+ years, this is the day that those who profess to be Christians meet.

We know these things about that day. Sunday was the day that Christ arose from the dead; thus, he became the “firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” I Cor 15:20. We know that he was raised on Sunday because we can read about that in Matt 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20. We know that he met with the 11 apostles and those with them on the very day he arose, Sunday. He met again the next Sunday (John 20:26) with His disciples.

In Luke 24:47,49, Christ had told the apostles “that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Behold I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high”.

In Acts, chapter 2, we find the apostles in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, which was always on a Sunday. If you will read that Chapter, you will find this was the day that the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, given to them directly from God. This is when they received “power from on high” that Christ spoke of in Luke 24:49. It was on this day that Peter preached Christ to the Jews who were also there because of the Day of Pentecost. Peter told this Jewish audience that they had crucified Jesus, a man who had been attested to them by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him. He told this audience that God had raised Him up, and that they (the apostles) were witnesses of this.

God had made the man they crucified both Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:37-38, “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Men and brethren, what shall we do’? Then Peter said to them, Repent and let every one of you be baptized In the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”. In verse 41, ‘’Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them”.

Christ was raised from the dead on a Sunday. The church he died for was begun on a Sunday. This is truly “the Lord’s Day”. Next week, we’ll look at more scriptures regarding worship.

We have received many positive comments about these articles. BUT, we have not had as many studies as we would like. We encourage you to take advantage of the study we offer, and the free bible that we will give you. You will benefit from the study. CALL OR TEXT: JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

News Multi-tasking is thought of as a useful skill, but it gets a lot of people in trouble behind the wheel.

Most of us incorrectly assure ourselves that we can multi-task and use our cellphone while we drive. After all, we can walk and chew gum at the same time, right?

When we stop and think about those activities – chewing gum and walking – we must admit that walking is one of those things we do that requires very little brain power. In fact, it’s subconscious and nearly automatic.

Unlike walking and chewing gum, both driving and using a cell phone requires higher cognitive thinking. Your brain simply cannot perform two higher cognitive tasks at the same time. Instead, it must switch between tasks.

With technology at our fingertips, drivers are constantly faced with distractions, such as talking or texting, which places their safety and that of others at serious risk.

In Texas, it is estimated that 1-in-5 traffic crashes are caused by distracted driving, and the problem is getting worse.

As part of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April, the Texas De-

partment of Transportation (TxDOT) is launching its “Talk, Text, Crash” campaign to remind drivers to stay focused on the road.

Last year, there were 108,962 distracted driving crashes in Texas – up 3 percent since 2015. Those crashes killed 452 people and seriously injured another 3,068.

These crashes are highest among younger drivers ages 16-34.

According to TxDOT, 38 percent of Texas drivers say they regularly or sometimes use a cell phone while driving. Text messaging is particularly dangerous, as reaction times double when drivers read or send text messages.

A driver texting at 55 mph will lose sight of the road for nearly 5 seconds, which is comparable to driving the length of a football field while blindfolded. During this time, the car can drift in and out of lanes as well as cross the center line.

The month’s designation is to raise awareness of the dangers associated with distracted driving and to encourage Texans to put down their cell phones while driving. With more than 100,000 traffic crashes in Texas each year involving distracted driving, drivers are reminded that using a mobile phone when behind the wheel is a risky habit that they should break.

Commissioners also renewed the county’s reinvestment zone in a vote that saw Precinct 4 Commissioner Dale Artho abstain.

The zone was created in connection with the Canadian Breaks wind project, which consists of 22 turbines and substation in Deaf Smith County.

While all 22 turbines are within the reinvestment zone, the substation is not, Wagner noted.

A final vote was 3-0 after Artho sat it out citing potential conflict of interest concerns because he leases land within the reinvestment zone.

High school rodeo is alive and well in the area after Adrian’s Wyatt Wells rode his way to a trio of championships at the UIL Region 1 Rodeo in Childress.

The two-day event on

April 7-8 saw contestants from throughout the Panhandle vying for a top-ten finish to advance to June’s state championship rodeo in Abilene.

The Hereford Lady Whitefaces continued to barrel down the homestretch of the softball season after taking control early Tuesday to knock out host Randall, 11-1, in a mercy-shortened, District 3-5A tilt.

In notching their third straight, the Lady Herd have won nine of their last 10 and only lost once in the past 12 games to climb to 18-11-2 overall and 9-2 in league play.

“We continued to attack and keep the momentum on our side the whole game,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “We stayed strong with our bats and made some great plays on defense.”

Jumping ahead out of the gate, the Lady Whitefaces made the most of three singles, two walks, two hit batters and a fielder’s choice to scratch four runs across in the first.

Danielle Pena ripped a two-out double in the third to score Nahryah Hayes, who had walked, to make it 5-0.

Abrie Castillo opened the Lady Herd fourth with a solo home run for a 6-1 lead before Haleigh Barba followed with a double, then went to third and scored on separate wild pitches to make it 7-1.

The Lady Whitefaces opened a 10-run bulge in the fifth after Xandria Liscano stroked a one-out single before Pena flied out.

Bianca Olvera followed with another single, and Castillo chased that with a hit to drive in Liscano.

Barba then cleaned the sacks with a blast to center

Haleigh Barba led the Lady Herd offense with a double, home run, 3 RBI and 3 runs scored in Tuesday’s, 11-1, win over Randall.

BRAND/John Carson for a 3-run homer to provide the final margin.

The Lady Raiders went down in order in the fifth to end the game.

Barba paced the 10-hit Lady Herd offense with a 2-for-2 game that included a double, home run, 3 RBI and 3 runs scored.

Castillo finished 3-for4 with 2 RBI and a pair of runs scored, while Liscano went 2-for-3 with a RBI and run.

Pena and Haylie Valdez had the other two Lady Herd RBI, while Pena, Olvera and Kaelynn Vallejo had a hit each.

Castillo continued to shine in the circle in facing just 18 Lady Raiders and throwing only 67 pitches over 5 innings. She gave up 1 run on 2 hits while striking out 7 and not walking a batter.

At 9-2 in league play after the win, the Lady Whitefaces have clinched a playoff spot and tightened their grip on the district’s No. 2 seed.

“It is great knowing we have clinched a spot and can use the rest of district to prepare for who will face in the first round,” Marquez said. “We still need to focus on finishing strong in district with the most momentum we can generate heading into the postseason.”

The Lady Whiteface drive to the postseason continued Friday, after press time, when they hosted Palo Duro.

Next week features the final two games of the regular season when they travel to Dumas for a 6:30 p.m. game Tuesday before closing the season at home on Friday against Caprock.

First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.

Taking a step back, the Hereford Whitefaces could not hold a lead Tuesday in a 13-6 loss at Palo Duro in District 3-5A diamond action.

Seeing their losing streak stretched to 12 games, the Herd has lost 14 of the last 15 and 16 of the last 18 to drop to 7-19 overall and in the district cellar at 0-10.

“In contrast to the last four games, we didn’t play this game well as a

team,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “We didn’t make the routine plays that we had been making. We didn’t throw as many strikes as we have been throwing, and we made costly base running mistakes.

“It’s all on us to turn it around for Friday against a very solid Palo Duro team.”

Trailing 3-0 after two innings, the Whitefaces had their first big inning in district play to take the lead.

The lead lasted four batters into the Dons half of the frame.

The Dons would add two more in the fourth on a double and sacrifice fly to make it 9-5.

Two errors and another double plated three runs in the fifth, while a triple and steal of home provided the final margin before a scoreless seventh.

The Whitefaces scored their final run in the seventh after Bryce Simnacher walked to lead off, went to second on a Mendez single and third on a Head groundout.
