Early voting turnout better than past

WHAT'S INSIDE

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Although initial indications are positive, reviews are still a bit mixed on whether Hereford Independent School District (HISD) officials have accomplished their main purpose in publicizing its $45 million bond issue.

With early voting underway and election day looming on the May 6 horizon, voter turnout continues to be the main concern for school

The adage says “30 days hath September, April, June and November,” that is unless you are Hereford Independent School District (HISD), which added August to that list when it came to the 2017-18 school calendar.

HISD officials wiped some admitted egg from their faces during Monday’s regular meeting of the HISD Board of Trustees when corrections were made to the calendar for the upcoming school year that had been approved at March’s meeting.

“I really don’t know how it happened,” a somewhat embarrassed HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “There were 150 people who looked the calendar over and checked it. No one noticed the omission.”

The problem rested in the fact that Thursday, Aug. 31 had been omitted from the upcoming school calendar.

The calendar, as approved and released following the March trustee meeting, showed Aug. 1-30 then picked back up on Friday, Sept. 1.

A Hereford man could well spend the remainder of his life behind bars on a drug conviction after a plea agreement was reached in Deaf Smith County State Court this week.

Deaf Smith Assistant District Attorney Chris Stroud said Thursday that 40-yearold Johnny Tijerina had accepted a plea deal and given a 30TIJERINA year sentence in the Texas Department of Corrections.

Tijerina was originally arrested on March 4, 2016 for possession of more than 4 grams-less than 200 grams of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Stroud said the substance in question was methamphetamine.

At the time of his arrest, Tijernia was in possession of 108.81 grams of the drug and had $6,550 in cash on him, according to Stroud.

When Tijernia was indicted on Sept. 7, 2016, Stroud said the indictment also “pledged” that Tijernia had two prior felony convictions.

HTFCU unveils plans for new $3 million facility

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The anticipated launch of site preparation and construction on an expansive new Hereford Texas Federal Credit Union building was announced at the 80th annual meeting of HTFCU members April 25 at the Hereford Community Center. The facility will incorporate a spacious reception and waiting area, including a fireplace, lending, teller and loan office spaces, board room and accounting spaces, along with a new attached drive-up facility. Brenda Fuentes, HTFCU president, reported that work is expected to begin within the next two months.

Members of the credit union’s board and staff worked diligently with contractor DEI Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio to evolve the new facility’s

The planned $3 million, 6,400

square ft. building represents a remarkable advancement from HT-

FCU’s humble beginnings when it opened July 11, 1936 in shared space in a corner of the county welfare and Red Cross offices. The late Dyalthia Bradly Benson was the original treasurer/manager for the credit union and served until the fall of 1967, according to the Deaf Smith County history “The Land and its People.”

Mrs. Benson encouraged local residents to open accounts and deposit savings of as little as 25 cents, a sum hard to come by during the hardscrabble times of the 1930s.

She often went to local residents on paydays to receive deposits and talk up the new “cooperative bank.” The original investment by charter members of HTFCU was $80, and at the end of its first year, HTFCU had 22 members and a whopping $125.44

From Staff Reports

While most eyes on May 6 will be focused on a $45 million bond issue for Hereford Independent School District (HISD), it is not the only Deaf Smith County bond item to be decided.

Voters in Walcott Independent School District (WISD) will also be going to the polls to make the call on a $1.425 million issue.

WISD officials hosted a public meeting on the measure April 18 that drew a majority of the community’s registered voters.

“It was a good-sized group,” said WISD Superintendent Bill McLaughlin, who estimated there were between 50-70 people in attendance. “I think it will pass.”

If passed, the bond will be used to add four classrooms to Walcott Elementary School, as well as a community tornado shelter.

The classroom addition is needed, according to McLaughlin, because the school has been using former teacher residences as classrooms for the past 20 years.

McLaughlin added financing for the bond is possible because of wind farm entities in the county, which will be taxed at full value for a bond as opposed to an abatement valuation negotiated for property taxes.

amount of the bonds between county school districts, the most telling difference will come in the form of taxes.

The HISD bond will sport a 26.1 mil rate of what effectively will be new taxes for no more than 20 years for those property owners.

McLaughlin said WISD officials have worked its repayment plan to where bond passage would not include a tax increase.

With a proposed tax rate .0975 mils set for bond repayment, he said WISD trustees plan on reducing its maintenance and operation tax rate from 94 mils to 84.25 mils – resulting in the WISD tax rate remaining at 94 mils if the bond is passed.

“We have a chance to get a new building with no tax increase,” McLaughlin said. “Everybody at the meeting was very positive.

They liked the idea of the classroom addition, as well as the tornado shelter.

“They really liked the prospect that if [the bond] passed, there would be no tax increase.”

Although election day is not officially set until Saturday, May 6, early voting opened Monday and continues through Monday and Tuesday.

Early voting for the WISD bond is taking place in the board room of the WISD administrative offices.

“They are out creating problems for other people and our community.

“The 30 years is an appropriate punishment for the amount of drugs he had and the circumstances of

the case.”

Stroud added the cash found on Tijernia at the time of his arrest was “basically drug proceeds” and that a portion of the funds – which have since been surrendered – will go to assist local law enforcement.

Pipe dream comes true

VOTING: FROM PAGE 1

Goad to show off handiwork on refurbished First Presbyterian organ

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

To say Norman Goad is hands-on with his work is an understatement of monumental proportions.

Goad is owner of N.E.G. Keyboard Services, which specializes in repairs, service and tuning of pipe organs.

Subsequently, when it came time for First Presbyterian Church in Hereford to refurbish its 80-year-old pipe organ, pastor Don McDonald knew exactly who to call.

McDonald has known Goad for a number of years after they met at Second Baptist Church in Lubbock while matriculating at Texas Tech University.

“Norman did all the work to revamp our organ,” McDonald said. “He was familiar with what needed to be done because he had done the same thing for Canadian Presbyterian Church, which has the identical organ from the same manufacturer and an identical sanctuary to ours.”

With his company maintaining 50 organs worth some $28 million in a 60,000-square mile area of the Panhandle, eastern

He is an incredible organist. This is going to be a celebration that our church is still alive, our donor and Norman.

Don McDonald First Presbyterian Church pastor

Replacing and repairing damaged pipes was a majority of the project Norman Goad undertook when he refurbished the 80-year-old pipe organ at First Presbyterian Church in Hereford.

Contributed photo New Mexico and South Plains, Goad had previously installed a new relay here in 2015.

Thanks to an endowment from former First Presbyterian organist Frankie Ridgway to assist the church’s music department

GOAD

and maintain the organ, Goad recently completed work on refurbishing the pipes and relay for the instrument.

When most craftsmen would step back and take a satisfied look at their completed project, the hands-on part

for Goad comes from his actually seeing – or creating – the results of his efforts.

An award-winning organist with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in organ performance, Goad will determine how good a refurbishing job he did when he presents a concert Sunday on the repaired organ

at First Presbyterian.

“He is an incredible organist,” McDonald said.

“He is an incredibly good technician and artist. We’re really excited to have him come play and want it also to be for the community to come and enjoy good music.

“This is going to be a celebration that our church is still alive, and a celebration of music, our donor and Norman.”

Although Goad is keeping the exact content of his hour-long concert a secret, McDonald is expecting there to be selections from Bach and Mozart, among others.

The concert is set for 3:30 p.m., Sunday at First Presbyterian Church in Hereford.

but still may be enough to accomplish what HISD officials were seeking.

Given that number, approximately 700 ballots will be cast when early voting ends Tuesday, May 2.

Using DeLaCerda’s observation, that means another 700 or so would be case on election day, Saturday, May 6.

Toss in 100 mail-in ballots – DeLaCerda said 20 had been received as of Thursday morning – and the total voter turnout would be in the 1,500 range.

While some 30 percent higher than the 2015 turnout, that number would only represent 18.5 percent of the county’s 8,118 register voters eligible to vote on the HISD bond. The county has a total of 8,364 registered voters, but not all can vote in the HISD election.

One concern HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship had on voter turnout was that lack of competition allowed both the city of Hereford and HISD to cancel scheduled May 6 elections for two city commission seats and mayor and four HISD Board of Trustees seats.

Early voting continues Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m.5 p.m., outside the clerk’s office on the second floor of Deaf Smith County Courthouse.

Election day voting on Saturday, May 6 will take place at Hereford Community Center from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

Make a household favorite more healthy Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for “Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach,” which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds). The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at home cooks’ dinner tables as well.

Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach, Makes 6 servings For the sauce: 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, sliced 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes 1/4 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 2 pinches salt 2 pinches freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon honey For the chicken: 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon dried basil 11/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 6 pieces, pounded to 1/4 inch 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 4 cups baby spinach

1 teaspoon lemon juice 3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 6 medallions (or shredded) 6 cups cooked whole-grain thin spaghetti tossed in 2 teaspoons olive oil Preheat oven to 375 F and coat the bottom of a 9 x 13inch pan with olive oil spray.

To make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Do not brown. With your hand, squeeze each tomato into the pan and add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, lowering the heat as needed.

Thursday, Aug. 31 was in limbo.

Trustees corrected the snafu by reinstating Aug. 31 into the calendar.

However, the process required more than just putting the day back in.

Because the calendar had already been set up with the day left out, another adjustment had to be made because simply putting the day back in would have pushed teacher days beyond the 187-day state limit, according to Blankenship.

To completely offset the dilemma, trustees changed Monday, Feb. 19 – already a student holiday, but a teacher work and/or comp day – to a holiday for teachers as well to stay within state requirements.

HTFCU: FROM PAGE 1

in assets, according to the Deaf Smith County history.

The first loan by the credit union was $5 for a Boy Scout uniform, the second, $25 for cattle feed. HTFCU moved into its current building in 1957 with assets of nearly $1 million.

In her report to members on 2016 operations during the April 25 meeting, Mrs. Fuentes related that HTFCU’s current assets amount to $48,896,806, with membership increasing by 2.93 percent in 2016 to 7,774.

The late Mrs. Benson would doubtless be awestruck by those numbers, and the forthcoming HTFCU building effort. At the project’s completion, the new building and parking facilities just across the street east of the courthouse will front the length of Schley Street from 4th Street to 3rd Street. The new building will be slightly south of the present site. During construction, Mrs. Fuentes says HTFCU will continue operations in its present building.

Demolition of the adjacent former Langehennig law office building just south of the present HTFCU offices, and the former Courthouse Annex just south of there, will preface construction.

Upon completion of the new building and move-in, the present HTFCU building will be demolished to provide parking space. Additional employee parking will also be added to the south, adjacent to 3rd Street. Customers will enter the multiple-lane drive-up from 3rd Street and exit onto 4th Street. The current drive-up facility across 4th Street north of the present credit union office will revert to Deaf Smith County, the recipient of the property in a trade.

“Credit unions benefit all consumers. Our very presence in the financial services industry helps to drive down the cost of financial services for everyone. To compete effectively, other financial institutions must offer quality products and services at a reasonable cost,” said Mrs. Fuentes during her report to the membership.

“I’m grateful to report that

loan demand increased 5.13 percent from 2015 to 2016, and delinquencies remain low at .91 percent. This reflects the competitive rates we’re able to offer and the strong commitment of our members to honoring their financial obligations with us.

HTFCU is a well-capitalized financial institution with a strong net worth ratio of 20.39 percent. To put that in perspective, a net worth position above seven percent is considered by our regulators as well capitalized.

“We have a highly-capable volunteer board of directors that shares an enormous amount of time, knowledge, and expertise, especially with the planning for our

new building, and in guiding this organization. Also, HTFCU has an excellent team of professionals who work with the mindset of helping our members meet their financial goals. The credit union’s many accomplishments would not have been possible without their energy, commitment, and belief in our cause,” she added.

According to Mrs. Fuentes, the financial well-being of HTFCU allows community involvement, and that commitment was reflected in 2016 in raising $16,237 for the local Children’s Miracle Network, participating in the Big Brother Big Sisters Bowl for Kids’ Sake, participating in Relay for Life, and presen-

tation of $6,250 in scholarships. The local credit union even earned the Children’s Miracle Network fund-raising championship trophy for the Amarillo Area Chapter of Credit Unions.

During the business portion of the meeting, David Collins of Hereford was elected to assume the board position being vacated by Mike Veazey, outgoing chairman of the board, who opted not to seek another term.

Re-elected to new three-year board terms were Joe Kerr of Hereford and Jerry Heller of

Dimmitt. Other board members include Temple Abney, Tom Betzen and Nick Yosten of Hereford, and Mickey Bishop of Dimmitt.

Members of HTFCU’s Supervisory Committee, appointed by the board of directors to oversee accounting procedures, include Danielle Bartels and Mitch Reeve.

A 20-year tenure award was announced for HTFCU employee Martha Ibarra, vice president lending/branch manager for Dimmitt, who was unable to attend due to illness.

9 Spring off to ‘encouraging’ start for Hostile Herd

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

With the first week of spring practice in the rearview mirror, Hereford coach Don DeLozier is pleased with what he has seen so far.

“It has been super encouraging,” DeLozier said. “We got in a lots of good work over the first three practices.

It was good to have the opportunity to see the kids on the field.

“The first week was good for us.”

The Whitefaces opened its four-week session of spring drills Tuesday.

There are four practices set for this week – including a Tuesday scrimmage – and

Gaining familiarity and comfort with the offense – as well as linemen learning to stay low – are focal points for the Whitefaces during spring practice.

three the following week with a scrimmage Wednesday, May 10.

Drills culminate the third week of May with practices Monday-Wednesday in front of the annual Maroon and White game on Thursday, May 18.

“So far, we have seen lots of kids willing to be coached,” DeLozier said. “They are accepting the coaching and working to do what is being asked of them. That is always good to see.

“We’ve also had a couple of kids stepping up to take leadership roles, which is something we are looking for this spring.”

Rally stalls in 8-inning loss

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

One bad inning and a comeback that could not get all the way there proved the difference Tuesday in the Hereford Whitefaces, 9-7, eight-inning loss to visiting Caprock on Senior Day. In losing their fourth straight, the Herd dropped to 9-14 on the season and 1-12 in District 3-5A heading into Friday’s season finale – after press time – at Caprock.

“We have to do better early,” Hereford coach Bryan Moore said. “We gave them six runs. We have to be ready to play from the start. We have to play the first three innings like we did the last four.

“Once we got going, we did great. They were good enough to win.”

A nightmare third inning that included a bevy of errors and only 3 hits staked the Longhorns to a 6-0 lead they stretched to 7-0 on an deep infield single in the fourth.

The Herd began its comeback in their half of the fourth when Marty Carnahan rattled a one-out triple into the left-field corner and came home an out later on Andrew Lopez’s bloop double.

They trimmed to deficit to 7-4 in the fifth when Luke Nino, Dylan McGinty and Carnahan plated runs with consecutive singles.

The Whitefaces evened things up with two

outs in the sixth.

After Lopez walked to lead off, Shawn Escamilla drew a two-out walk before Lopez came home on a Mitchell Carnahan single.

Nino and McGinty followed with one-baggers to plate runs and knot the game at 7-7.

After a scoreless seventh inning, the Whitefaces were almost out of the eighth when a dropped infield pop gave the Longhorns new life.

The error allowed the go-ahead run to score before a Willie Jimenez double plated the final margin.

Jade Collier singled to open the Herd eighth, but was cut down to end the game on a linedrive double play off the bat of Mitchell Carnahan.

“We have to figure out those early innings,” Moore said. “We were just too loose with the ball.”

With the seven Herd seniors topping the batting order, Lopez led the offense with a 2-for-3 day and a RBI. Nino, McGinty and Marty Carnahan all finished 2-for-4 with McGinty and Nino driving in 2 runs each and Carnahan plating a run.

Mitchell Carnahan also finished 2-for-4 with a RBI, while Collier and Escamilla had hits.

LEVELLAND – A trio of home runs and miscues in the field put the Hereford Lady Whitefaces on the short end of a 9-4 final Thursday in Game 1 of a BiDistrict playoff series with Lubbock Cooper at Levelland High School.

The Lady Herd face a must-win situation in Game 2 of the best-of-three series to force a deciding third game. First pitch for Game 2 is set for 1 p.m., Saturday, with the decider, if needed, to start 30 minutes following Game 2’s conclusion.

“Defensively, we had three errors that earned Cooper three runs,” Hereford coach Ashley Marquez said. “Offensively, we were connecting, but we just missed opportunities where we left people stranded.

“One thing is the team fought until the end. There was a time where we lost some mojo, but they continued to push through to get out of tough situations Danielle Pena puts the bat on the first of her two home runs – a 2-run, first-inning shot – in Thursday’s, 9-4, Bi-District Game 1 as a team.”

rendering all 9 runs – only 5 earned – on 12 hits with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks to take the loss in the circle.

With the season on the line

DeLozier did note the first week of spring practice did go by with a few players missing because they were still in involved with baseball – which played its season finale Friday.

Getting those players on the field will only boost what efforts, he added.

A common spring problem has already been noticed – offensive linemen playing “way too tall” – and improvement upon, DeLozier said.

One of the key aspects to the drills will be offensive consistency as players gain comfort with the offensive scheme and familiarity with what is expected of them.

“The things we needed to see in the early spring, we have seen,” DeLozier said.

“I am very encouraged with what I’ve seen and where we look like we’re headed.”

The Herd is looking to improve a second-consecutive 2-8 season in 2016 that included a second straight with no district wins and last-place finish.
