Construction price expected for TBES renovation By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Project Backpack Night a success for Kiwanis Page 5
Topping a long list of action items on the agenda for Monday’s meeting of the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees will be consideration and action on bids for renovations at Tierra Blanca Elementary School (TBES). HISD’s contracted con-
struction manager at risk (CMAR), Southwest Construction, is expected to present trustees with a guaranteed price for construction. Under the construction agreement, the CMAR determines the project’s needs, then bids out and accepts ones from subcontractors to do the work. “They will put together a package of bids and pres-

“It will not exceed [that price],” he said. Southwest and HISD architect Lenora Ask of Chapman-Harvey Architects of Lubbock, finalized designs and hosted a prebid at TBES on May 1 – at which time bid were accepted. Bids were opened May 8, and final price determinations have been made since.
The renovation came about as HISD began coping with severe facility problems after bond issues failed in 2015 and 2017. Trustees approved HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship’s “Next Steps” plan in November that called for the closing of TBES for renovation during the 2018-18 school year. PLEASE SEE PRICE | 3

ent them to the board,” HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram said. “They will submit a total price of construction.” The moniker guaranteed construction price is notso-much lip service. That is exactly what it is. Ingram added the submitted Southwest price approved by trustees is the maximum amount construction will cost HISD.

Run for the Fallen Local heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice were part of national remembrance Thursday when Run for the Fallen made a stop in its 6,000-mile, 19-state, cross-country trek in Hereford. Right, run founder George Lutz shares a moment of silence with runners before, above, Whiteface wrestlers and cross country team members join in leaving the VFW en route to Dawn. During the ceremony, the names of local residents who have fallen were read aloud. Below, the run being a national effort held no sway with BNSF, which held up timing and progress of the run through Hereford as trains passed through and stopped in town. Bottom, the first group of HHS runners cross the tracks for U.S. 60 en route to the end of the day's run in Dawn. BRAND/John Carson
The primary election season will finally come to an end for all Deaf Smith County voters when polls open Tuesday for runoff elections from the March 6 Republican and Democratic primaries. On the runoff ballot are several national and state races – most notably a Democratic runoff to determine a gubernatorial candidate in November – and one of the four contested county races on the primary ballot. Incumbent Dale Artho and challenger John Nino will face each other to determine the GOP candidate in November for the Precinct 4 seat on the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court. The two survived a four-man race in March, however, none garnered the required 50 percent-plus-one vote total needed to be declared winner. As a result, the top vote-getters in March moved to the runoff. Roughly a quarter of the county’s more than 8,000 registered voters – 2,007 – can take part in the Precinct 4 runoff that will decide whether Artho, a commercial farmer and rancher, is granted a second term in office or a new face takes over the seat. “One of the things that has been a plus for me [during the first term] is I look at things a bit differently,” Artho said. “I bring PLEASE SEE PRECINCT 4 | 3
Disc golf, stage among topics for commissioners By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
A pair of community-improvement projects were among items brought before the Hereford City Commission during a called meeting Monday. The meeting, which replaces the board’s usual gathering on the third Monday of each month, was moved to adhere to deadlines for having results from the May 5 election canvassed and certified. One of the two projects was part of the agenda, while the other was broached during the meeting’s public comment time. Gaining the commission’s unanimous approval was a request by Riley Tiemann to use a portion of Veteran’s Park for his Eagle Scout project. Tiemann, who made the proposal with father David, plans to construct an 18-hole disc golf course in the park for public use. “The idea of disc golf in that park has been discussed before,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said during the work session precedPLEASE SEE CITY | 4

The campus would re-open to start the 2019-20 year as the new home of HISD’s pre-K and Head Start programs. At that time, 92-year-old Stanton Learning Center – the current pre-K site – would be closed as an active HISD campus. In addressing a 12-year-old, independent recommendation that both TBES and Stanton be completely renovated or closed, trustees approved a $4 million appropriation from its fund balance.

If anyone knows the job, he does.” Artho is looking to bank upon his experience as a rancher, farmer and businessman – as well as the four years in office under
for the entire project could exceed the amount already approved. In addition to construction costs, school officials are also looking at additional architect fees, as well as expenses for moving out of TBES and asbestos abatement before demolition begins. “The problem and concern [with the overall cost] is with tariffs,” Ingram said. “We are seeing huge price increases on materials. “After opening the bids, we feel are in pretty good shape. They are about what we expected when we started. We felt better [about the tariff impact] coming out of the bids than going in.” Plans are for TBES to be vacated during the first week of June with asbestos abatement to follow in advance of other work.
Pesticide class to run Thursday Training for private applicators of pesticides is scheduled in Hereford on Thursday, May 24, at the Nita Lea building, 903 14th St., according to Rick Auckerman, County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources. The class will be of-
fered for agricultural producers and interested individuals who want to obtain a private applicator pesticide license. Those applicants who pass the test will be eligible for licensing through the Texas Department of Agriculture. The fee will be $10 per
person, plus the cost of optional training materials. Training will begin at 9 a.m. and will end about 1 p.m. Those with questions or wanting to sign up to take the class should call the local Extension office, 364-3573.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS A Webster dictionary definition for the word slave is a human being who is owned as property by another. We are aware that Negros were once captured in Africa by slavers, and brought to this country as slaves to white owners. Even among American Indians, members of one tribe might capture members of another tribe, and make slaves of the captured persons. Indians might also capture Mexicans and White people and make slaves of them. And, sometimes, Mexicans and Whites might capture and enslave and American Indian. Today, the idea of a slave in America is not often seen. Similarly, the word servant is not used much in our language. The Webster definition reads (1) a person employed by another, especially to do household duties {2) devoted to another, or a cause, creed, etc. Even in the first definition, we don’t call domestic help servants - instead we use terms such as housekeeper, cleaning lady, gardener, yard man/woman, cook, etc. And the second definition won’t fit many of us .... the idea of being devoted to another, or a cause means we might have to give up our independence, the freedom to do as we please. Biblically, our word slave comes from the Greek word duolos. In my study, I learned that this word is not easily translated to English. It means one who gives oneself up wholly to another will, serving to the complete disregard of one’s own selfish interest. In our bibles, the words slave and servant are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the version. For example, in Romans 12:1, Philippians 1:1, and Titus 1:1, Paul describes himself as a servant {some versions say bondservant) of Jesus Christ or God. Likewise, James in James 1:1; Peter in II Peter 1:1, and Jude in verse one. The lives and work of these men listed fits the above definition of the word duolos. Biblically, today, what does this concept of being a servant or slave mean to us? Next week we will examine that further. A study of God’s word is important because we will be judged by that word.

his belt – as a factor in his favor come Tuesday. “I know how the pieces of government work and don’t work,” he said. “And, I know how to balance that with the needs of the community.
“I will serve if the people want me to. If they feel like someone else can do better, so be it. I only want what’s best for Deaf Smith County.” Early voting for Tuesday’s runoff closed Friday. Voting on election day will take place from 7 a.m.-7 p.m., in front of the
Deaf Smith County Clerk of Court Office on the second floor of Deaf Smith County Courthouse. While the Precinct 4 race will appear on the November general election ballot, the winner of the runoff effectively wins the seat since there is no Democratic opposition.

ceed was granted, work would begin in about three weeks after the goals were ordered and delivered. Lions Club member Steve Horrell inquired if the city could chip in any funds. “That depends on what the Lions Club does,” Hanna said. “It would also depend on the dollar amount. “We will have to see if the need arises and discuss it.” Although legally unable to act or respond to issues raised by the public that were not on the agenda, the item broached during public comment was not a new subject. Representing San Jose Catholic Church and its upcoming Jamaica celebration, Debbie Gonzalez asked about a permanent stage being placed in Dameron Park to accommodate the variety of activities it hosts. Ironically, the matter had already been the subject a work sessions discussions in recent months as officials were looking at ways to improve the city park and its offerings. Hanna informed her it was
something that would get started “as soon as possible” with engineering beginning Tuesday. He added that when costs estimates for the project were ready, it would be placed on a meeting agenda. “We cannot take [official] action because it was not on the agenda,” Hereford Mayor Tom Simons said. “”It will be put on a future agenda. “It is something there is interest in. We’re very interested.” In other action, commissioners officially approved Wade Hawkins as executive director for Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) after announcement of his selection last month. Commissioners also approved a request from the HEDC Board of Directors for $10,363 payment to Leadership Hereford to allow the organization to break even financially after a shortfall in its second year. All funding requests made by HEDC must be approved by the city commission.

Kiwanis night a McSuccess By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Getting Deaf Smith County children properly prepared for the 201819 school year got a boost last week thanks to the combined efforts of Hereford Kiwanis Club and the local McDonald’s franchise. Kiwanis hosted a Project Backpack Night at the local eatery on May 8 with 20 percent of the restaurant’s gross sales during the three-hour event were donated to the effort. The event was held to assist the Kiwanis Club’s support of its annual Project Backpack, which provides students in need with new backpacks filled with school supplies at the start of the school year. “We loved it,” Hereford Kiwanis Club president Debbie Gonzalez said. “We had the Key Club from the high school there, and they loved it. Everything went well, and McDonald’s was fabulous partner to have with this. “Everything will go to help with backHereford McDonald’s franchise owner Steve packs. We’re checking on some other Creadle, right, checks the pie supply for HHS Key Club member Blair Brorman. BRAND/John Carson sources of funding, too.”

From left, Monica Olvera, Wes Gaffney, Rani Bhakta, Debbie Gonzalez, Brenda Paschel, Esmeralda Florez, Rich Kendrick, Macy Lopez, Connie Mendoza, Blair Brorman, Uriah Cepeda, Susan Creadle and Dorothy Sydloski were some of the Kiwanians, HHS Key Club members and McDonald’s officials taking part in May 8's fundraiser. BRAND/John Carson When the final bell sounded for Tuesday’s effort – that also included a raffle for a weedeater and pie sales – a check for $1,273 was presented to the club. Gonzalez said more than $400 was raised through food sales and the sale of raffle tickets. The remainder of the proceeds came through the pie sales. McDonald’s donated pies to Kiwanis to sell during the event with all that money going directly to Project Backpack. Groups of HHS Key Club members manned hour-long shifts hawking the desserts to diners in the restaurant, as well as those waiting in drive-through lines and even local McDonald’s franchise owner Steve Creadle. This is the third year Hereford Kiwanis Club has had its Project Backpack. According to Gonzalez, 75 backpacks were distributed in 2016 with 200 doled out prior the current school year. Gonzalez added they are looking to top that this year in helping students from Hereford Independent School District elementary schools and St. Anthony’s Catholic School.
The local McDonald’s may have nabbed the best smile in the Panhandle as employee Genavie Castillo could brighten anyone’s day. BRAND/John Carson

A perfect quilting pattern A combination of the right people meeting at the right time yielded a perfect ongoing fund raising project for the Hereford Senior Citizens Center thanks to the work of the Sugar Ant Quilters, who are doing work for Denise Machala Martelli, who has a quantity of quilts for family members that need finishing. Pictured from left are new Sugar Ant quilting recruit Betty Deckard, Katie Lupton, Leona Schilling, Ms. Machala Martelli, Pat Meiwes, Beverly Heck Abshere, friend of Ms. Machala Martelli who helped with the linkup with the Sugar Ants, and Delle Moore of Dimmitt, aunt of Ms. Heck Abshere, who knew of the Sugar Ant Quilters, recommended them highly for the daunting project, and helped the whole effort to come together. A genuine bond of affection has built between the project commissioner and members of the Sugar Ants. Denise Machala Martelli shares a hug with Leona Schilling, who continued working steadily during the recent get-together as completed quilts were sorted and new work brought in. These are the calloused, taped and needle stabbed fingerCrossword solution from page 2 tips of some of the Sugar Ant Quilters, who bring a cumulative total of roughly 115 years of experience to the quilt frame when they gather. Each of the Sugar Ants puts in 10-20 hours of volunteer work on the quilting project each week with all proceeds benefiting the Hereford Senior Citizens Center. Photos by Jim Steiert

Herd doles out accolades for 2017-18 seasons
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Sounding the trumpet on some of their own, Hereford High School athletics recognized its top performers on the fields, courts, mats, tracks and pits of the 2017-18 school year in its annual Athletic Appreciation Night at Whiteface Stadium. Opening with the traditional obstacle course competition between co-ed teams of Whiteface athletes, the evening culminated in the naming of athletic department and individual sport award winners. Voting for Athlete of the Year was not an enviable task for Whiteface coaches with an array of talent and stellar year’s recorded. Senior, two-sport star Sergio “Gumby” Cruz was tabbed boys top athlete after earning first-team All-District honors in football and second-team honors in basketball. Cruz topped a strong field of male competitors that included juniors Seth Dixon – the district’s leading rusher and scorer and first-team AllDistrict in football; district, region and state 152-pound
2017-18 Academic All-State honorees – Faith Castaneda, Diahann Garza, Bo Baker, Isiah Escobal, Ben Flood, Adrian Nanez, Uriah Villarreal, Bryce Simnacher and Matthew Herrera. HISD photo by Bryan Hedrick champion in wrestling; and track letterman – and Dodge DeLozier – second-team AllDistrict quarterback; honorable-mention All-District basketball; district champion, area and region runner-up, state qualifying high jumper, and four-sport letterman. Decision on the top Lady Whiteface was just as difficult with softball star Abrie Castillo and three-sport performer
Elizabeth Ramirez sharing the honor. The Casey Smith Memorial Award was presented to senior volleyball/softball player Danielle Pena and football scholarship-signee/baseball player Bryce Simnacher. Multi-sport standouts carried the Fighting Heart Awards as well with volleyball/basketball stalwart Faith Castaneda and three-sport performer

Matt Herrera getting the nods. Most Valuable Performers for each sport were also recognized with Cruz walking away with the defensive award. Senior wide receiver, linebacker and back-up QB Jade Collier was named Offensive Player of the Year. On the hardwood, Cruz increased his load by taking the boys Defensive Player of the Year honor, while fellow se-
nior Isiah Escobal was tabbed as the top offensive player. For the Lady Whitefaces, recent scholarship-signee Castaneda was named MVP and was also honored with Diahann Garza as an Academic AllState selection. On the Lady Herd diamond, Castillo made it three straight as the three-time, first-team All-District performer shared MVP recognition with batterymate and catcher Haylie Valdez. Castillo again led the team in hitting with .434 average while adding team-highs in home runs (17), RBI (44) and runs scored (48). Junior lead-off hitter and multi-position player Shawn Escamilla won baseball’s top honor after leading the team with a .368 batting average. The frontline tandem of Jenna Lowrey and Ferrin Yosten shared volleyball MVP honors, while Kamille Hicks and Tommy Villalovos rounded out the court selections as top selections for tennis.
