Artho prevails in faint runoff turnout

In what was a barely noticeable turnout to decide a seat on the county’s governing body, incumbent Dale Artho emerged on top in Tuesday’s runoff for the Precinct 4 seat on the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court.

Artho was able to hold off a challenge from John Nino, 84-55, to get the nod in the runoff from the March 6 Republican primary to advance to the November general election.

“I appreciate the support,” Artho said. “I hope I can

live up to expectations. I am not a short-term planner. I like to look at things in the long term. I’m glad folks could see and understand that.

“I am disappointed by the voting, though. Voting is much too important to be taken

Recent rainfall is not enough to lift burn ban

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Although not an item on the meeting’s official agenda, the current precipitation situation and county’s burn ban were probably the most important topics of discussion at Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court.

After giving thanks for the recent rains and requests for more in a pre-meeting prayer, Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner broached the subject of the county’s burn ban as a point of discussion after the five items on the meeting agenda were dispatched.

While noting the county has received a marked inWAGNER crease in precipitation in the past few weeks, Wagner said it has not been sufficient to alleviate the drought conditions created by a six month-plus stretch of no measurable rainfall.

“The burn ban will remain in effect until we get significant moisture,” Wagner said.

“What we’ve had recently is not enough.

It doesn’t take long for things to dry back out. With the temperatures going back, humidity dropping and winds gaining speed, conditions are still dangerous.”

With the area literally drinking in every bit of rainfall recent storms have brought, weather forecast for the coming week show conditions back in the red flag area as temperatures are expected to peak at 95 degrees and higher with potentially brisk winds and diminishing humidity.

During the past three years when the county has been under a burn ban, Wagner has temporarily lifted it – for no more than 48 hours – following a measurable rainfall.

The runoff generated virtually no interest among Precinct 4’s 2,006 registered voters as only 139 (6.9 percent) took part in the election.

Holiday weekend includes sales tax

BAN: FROM PAGE 1

Although the situation is somewhat similar now, he is not willing to push the county’s luck on a potentially dangerous and deadly situation.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have avoided disaster to this point,” Wagner said. “People have been diligent about the burn ban.

“We haven’t had some problems like other counties have, but the danger and risk are still very high.”

In other action, commissioners approved an update to a reinvestment zone connected with the Canadian Breaks wind project.

The update stemmed from relocation of a substation in the Deaf Smith portion of the Canadian Breaks project.

Sharyland, which is constructing the substation, requested it be moved 2 miles south of its slated site to allow for more connectivity to future projects in the area.

Chris Podbregar of Canadian Breaks said Sharyland wanted the substation off Canadian Breaks’

AUSTIN – Texas families and businesses can save on the purchase of certain water- and energy-efficient products during the state’s WaterEfficient Products and ENERGY STAR® sales tax holidays.

Both take place Saturday through Monday.

The Texas Comptroller’s office estimates shoppers will save about $10.7 million in state and local sales tax during the Memorial Day weekend sales tax holidays.

“As of May 1, more than 60 percent of the state was in abnormally dry or drought conditions — and anyone who’s lived through a Texas summer knows the strain triple-digit temperatures can put on power grids,” Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said. “These two holidays are a perfect time to save on state and local sales taxes while upgrading outdated water systems or inefficient appliances.”

This is the third year for the Water-Efficient Products Sales Tax Holiday. Products displaying a WaterSense® label or logo can be purchased tax-free for personal or business use. These include showerheads, bathroom sink faucets and accessories, toilets, urinals and landscape

irrigation controls.

The sales tax holiday also applies to lawn and garden products that help conserve water outdoors. Items qualifying for the exemption include soaker or dripirrigation hoses; moisture controls for a sprinkler or irrigation system; mulch; and plants, trees and grasses. These items can be purchased taxfree for residential use only.

There’s no limit to the number of water-efficient or water-conserving products you can

During the ENERGY STAR Sales Tax Holiday, certain energy-efficient products displaying the ENERGY STAR logo can be purchased tax-free; these include air conditioners priced at $6,000 or less, refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less, ceiling fans, fluorescent light bulbs, dishwashers, dehumidifiers and clothes washing machines.

2018 Property Tax Protest and Appeal Procedures Property owners have the right to protest actions concerning their property tax appraisals. You may follow these appeal procedures if you have a concern about:

ARB with a written affidavit before the ARB hearing begins. You may use the Comptroller’s form 50-283 for your telephone conference call hearing or for your hearing by affidavit)

• the appraised (market) value of your property • the unequal value of your property compared with other properties • the inclusion of your property on the appraisal roll • any exemptions that may apply to you • the qualification for an agricultural or timber appraisal • the taxing units taxing your property • the ownership of property • the change of use of land receiving special appraisal • failure of the chief appraiser or appraisal review board (ARB) to send a required notice • any action taken by the chief appraiser, appraisal district (CAD) or ARB that applies to and adversely affects you.

You and the CAD representative have the opportunity to present evidence about your case. You may cross-examine the CAD representative. The ARB will make its decision based on the evidence presented by both parties. In most cases, the CAD has the burden of establishing the property’s value by a preponderance of the evidence presented. In certain protests the chief appraiser has the burden of proving the property’s value by clear and convincing evidence. You should review ARB hearing procedures to learn more about evidence and related matters.

If you file a written request for an ARB hearing (called a notice of protest) before the deadline, the ARB will set your case for a hearing and send you written notice of the time, date and place of the hearing. If necessary, you may request a hearing in the evening, Saturday or Sunday. You may use the Comptroller’s form 50-132.

Prior to your hearing, you may ask to review the evidence the CAD plans to introduce at the hearing. Before a hearing on a protest or immediately after the hearing begins, you or your agent and the CAD are required to provide each other with a copy of any written material (evidence) intended to be offered or submitted to the ARB at the hearing.

Deadline for Filing Protests with the ARB

Deadline: June 21, 2018.

Late protests are allowed if you miss the usual deadline for good cause.

The ARB decides whether you have good cause. Late protests are not allowed after the ARB approves the appraisal records for the year.

Special Deadlines - For change of use (the appraisal

district informed you that you are losing agricultural appraisal because you changed the use of your land), the deadline is before the 30th day after the notice of the determination was delivered to you.

For ARB changes (the ARB has informed you of a change that increases your tax liability and the change didn’t result from a protest you filed), the deadline is not later than the 30th day after the notice of the change was mailed to you.

If you believe the appraisal district or ARB should have sent you a notice and did not, you may file a protest until the day before taxes become delinquent (usually Feb. 1) or not later than the 125th day after the date you claim you received a tax bill from one or more of the taxing units that tax your property. The ARB decides whether it will hear your case based on evidence about whether a required notice was mailed to you.

3-year-old lands the big one From Staff Reports

Braving a slightly chilly, overcast start that turned into a warm, sunny spring morning, some 170 youngsters lined the pond Saturday at Josserand Aquatic Park to take part in the first of Hereford’s Community Fishing Day. The event is a joint venture of the City of Hereford and Texas Junior Anglers (TJA), and is held in May and September of each year.

When the final catches had been measured and the last lines pulled from the pond, 3-year-old Kaden Gonzales emerged as the grand champion.

She landed the largest fish of the day with a catch that measured 21 3/8 inches to take home a bevy of prizes, including a trophy and bicycle.

Angel Cerda brought in the first fish of the day, which measured 19 1/8 inches.

An 1/8 of an inch was the difference in the 7-11 division. It was effectively the tip of a tail fin that allowed Ahisa Tena, 8, to edge fellow 8-year-old Noe Mydon for first place.

Madison Valdez, 12, had no trouble winning the 12-over division with a catch that measured 20¾ inches. Aissa Johnson, 14, was second with a fish measuring 15¼ inches.

While none of the quartet garnered the required 50 percent-plus one votes needed to win outright, Nino was the far-and-away winner of the March race with 122 of the 368 ballots cast.

With the next-highest vote-getter advancing with Nino to the runoff, Artho literally squeaked by the potential difference of his own vote in topping Monty Smith 9190.

Harold Sides placed fourth in the March balloting with 66 votes.

continue as commissioners, Artho has broad and specific goals for a second term.

“I’ve already been working with TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) on some projects,” he said. “There are a lot of drainage issues on roads in Precinct 4 when there are hard rains.

“There are plans in the works to make the roads more all-weather.”

Artho has also been involved in an effort among Panhandle government officials to address ways of improving and expanding services and offerings.

At the crux of the effort is reality that most rural entities – be they counties or municipalities –

spent a majority of their annual budgets on law enforcement and related matters.

In Deaf Smith County, Artho said 76 percent of the county’s annual operating budget is earmarked for the sheriff’s office, jail, probation and juvenile justice departments.

“I look forward and like to work on coordination with other entities to improve the overall community for everyone,” he added.

Artho will also continue his work in the national level and will be attending a national conference in the coming weeks concerning the implementation of broad band Internet services to rural counties in the U.S.

Tip of the Day How working parents can create better work-life balance Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.

A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance.

Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner.

Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family. · Set reasonable goals. Much of the difficulty men and women experience in regard to finding a healthy work-life balance may be a byproduct of working parents spreading themselves too thin. Setting reasonable goals can help avoid that, but doing so requires taking commitments to one’s employer and family into consideration before agreeing to take on new projects or setting deadlines for projects to be completed. This should be applied to both work and home. If a work deadline is unreasonable, professionals should discuss that with their employers, who might change the deadline or arrange for extra persons to work on the project. At home,

parents should avoid taking on too many projects, such as chaperoning a child’s dance or coaching a sports team, if doing so will adversely affect the amount of time they get to spend with their families. · Look for ways to be more efficient.

Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees.

Doing so wastes time and only contributes to work-related stress. Commuters who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects.

Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time. · Request changes to work schedules. While technology may have largely eliminated the separation between the office and home, working parents can use that to their advantage by asking their employees to alter their work schedules. Telecommuting one or two days a week can help parents feel more connected to their families, while flex schedules can ensure working parents don’t miss any of their children’s dance recitals or weekday afternoon ballgames. · Unplug when you get home. Perhaps the simplest and most effective way for parents to regain a healthy work-life balance is to unplug their devices. Employing “Do not disturb” settings on smartphones and turning off tablets can ensure parents don’t spend their time at home working but connecting with their families.

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is no small task for today’s working parents. But such a goal is possible.

Community USDA enrollment for dairy protection ends on Monday From Deaf Smith County FSA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue encouraged dairy producers Tuesday to consider enrolling in the new and improved Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy), which will provide better protections for dairy producers from shifting milk and feed prices.

With changes authorized under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) has set the enrollment period to run from April 9 to June 1.

“We recognize the financial hardships many of our nation’s dairy producers are experiencing right now. Folks are losing their contracts and they are getting anxious about getting their bills paid while they watch their milk check come in lower and lower each month. The Bipartisan Budget Act provided some much-needed incentives for dairy producers to make cost-effective decisions to strengthen their farms, mitigate risk, and conserve their natural resources,” said Perdue. “This includes our support of America’s dairy farms. We encourage dairy producers to review the provisions of the updated program, which Congress shaped with their feedback. Those changes are now in effect, and I’d ask any produc-

ers who are interested to contact their local USDA service centers.”

The program protects dairy producers by paying them when the difference between the national all-milk price and the national average feed cost (the margin) falls below a certain dollar amount elected by the producer.

Changes include: Calculations of the margin period is monthly rather than bi-monthly.

Covered production is increased to 5 million pounds on the Tier 1 premium schedule, and premium rates for Tier 1 are substantially lowered.

An exemption from paying an administrative fee for limited resource, beginning, veteran, and disadvantaged producers.

Dairy operators enrolled in the previous 2018 enrollment period that qualify for this exemption under the new provisions may request a refund.

Dairy operations must make a new coverage election for 2018, even if you enrolled during the previous 2018 signup period.

Coverage elections made for 2018 will be retroactive to Jan. 1.

All dairy operations desiring coverage must sign up during the enrollment period and submit an appropriate form (CCC-782).

Dairy operations may still “opt out” by not submitting a form. All outstanding balances for 2017 and prior years must be paid in full before 2018 coverage is approved.

Lady Herd fields team of postseason honorees

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The success of the 2018 softball season for the Hereford Lady Whitefaces continued to shine through as nine members of the team were recognized for District 3-5A postseason honors.

The Lady Herd sported a player of the year, three first-team selections, three second-team choices and two more who received honorable mention.

“It is great for the program to have a MVP and six first- and second-team all-district selections this year with two honorable mentions,” Hereford softball coach Ashley Marquez said. “These athletes have helped build the program, and they are being recognized for all their hard work throughout the year with these honors.

“They have made big steps in the past five years to get the program where it is, and that is because of all their hard word in the offseason, practice and games to become a team that a want to go out and get better each year.”

Capping the accolades is senior star Abrie Castillo, who was tabbed District 3-5A’s Defensive Player of the Year.

The focal point of the Lady Herd’s rise on the diamond during the past four seasons, Castillo has earned postseason honors all four years on varsity as one of the district’s most dangerous two-way players.

Emerging in her career as one of the league’s best hurlers, Castillo has

Although District 3-5A's Defensive Player of the Year, Abrie Castillo led the Lady Herd in batting (.434), hits (49), home runs (17), RBI (44) and runs scored (48) this season. BRAND/John Carson also been the foundation of the Lady Whiteface batting order during her career.

For 2018, she again led the team in the batting average (.434), on-base percentage (.496), slugging percentage (.965) and OPS (1.461), while also posting team highs for hits (49), home runs (17), RBI (44) and runs scored (48). She also shared the team lead with 15 walks.

Leadoff hitter Danielle Pena is one of three Lady Whitefaces named to the 2018 All-District 3-5A softball first team.

BRAND/John Carson

“Abrie deserves the district’s MVP for defense,” Marquez said. “Her stats say a lot, but her ability to be a sound leader through her four years has been something that has set her up for greatness going forward.

“She makes everyone around her want to work harder to do what is best for the team.”

Castillo’s four-year battery mate – catcher Haylie Valdez – led the three Lady Whiteface first-team All-District selections.

Batting .264 on the season, Valdez hit 5 doubles and tied for the team lead with 2 triples while driv-

ing in 20 runs and scoring 20 runs.

However, Valdez’s most value came behind the dish, where she had a seasoned relationship with Castillo in the circle and a veteran’s hand in keeping play focused during games.

Named to the first-team All-District outfield were juniors Danielle Pena and Haleigh Barba.

Patrolling center field, Pena also ignited the Lady Herd offense from the lead-off spot.

Posting a respectable .384 batting average – tied for second on the team among regular starters – and .589 onbase percentage, Pena was tied for second on the team in hits (43) and doubles (11) with 4 homers, 19 RBI and 41 runs scored – second on the team.

In her second year in the batting order and first on the field, left fielder Barba hit cleanup and also batted .384 with 43 hits. She had 9 doubles, 3 home runs, 31 RBI and scored 33 runs.

“Barba and Pena were solid in the outfield all year,” Marquez said.

“There was never a time I, nor the team, had to worry if an error would happened.

“Their speed and communication out there is what makes them great outfielders that their teammates can depend on.”

Showing the cupboard is not bare on the dirt, junior Daz Rodriguez was one of three Lady Whitefaces tabbed for the second-team, All-District infield. Joining her were seniors Bianca Olvera and C.J. Ruiz.

Moving across the diamond to man the hot corner, Rodriguez flexed some muscle at the plate this season.

Joining Pena in the first-team, All-District outfield is fellow junior and cleanup hitter Haleigh Barba.

BRAND/John Carson

Topping the Lady Whiteface postseason softball honorees is senior pitcher Abrie Castillo, who was named District 3-5A Defensive Player of the Year for 2018.

BRAND/John Carson Among the group that batted .384 with 43 hits, Rodriguez was second on the team in slugging percentage (.634), homers (5) and RBI (36). She also led the team with 13 doubles and scored 21 runs.

Olvera came in from

right field to play shortstop and hit .328 with 5 home runs and 35 RBI. Of 38 total hits, her 31 singles were a team best.

Ruiz spent the season at first base, but did not

Experience at the plate, but more importantly behind it, earns Lady Herd senior Haylie Valdez a nod as All-District 3-5A catcher for 2018.

see much of the batter’s box until the playoffs.

Still, in 11 plate appearances, she stroked 3 singles, a double, walked once and reached base on errors twice.

“Bianca made an adjustment from outfield to shortstop and dominated in the infield with her quick skills,” Marquez said. “She worked hard through the offseason and season to make sure she would excel at a new position.

“Daz also made an adjustment, flopping corners from first to third.

She was one I knew would not be afraid of the quick ball coming down the line. C.J. came through in the clutch with her stick in the playoffs. Making some awesome snags at first base is what sent her over the top this season.”

A pair of new starters received their first postseason recognitions as sophomore Kaelynn Vallejo and freshman Xandria Liscano were among the honorable mention selections.

Junior Daz Rodriguez moved from first to third base this season and was named to the All-District 3-5A second-team infield.

BRAND/John Carson Liscano, who took over

at second base, hit .284 for the season with 19 hits, 5 RBI and 15 runs scored. Vallejo finished at .239 with 11 hits, 5 RBI and 9 runs scored.

“Kaelynn came out this year and earned her spot as a varsity start in right field,” Marquez said.

“She was one that was a surprise player this year and made major strides throughout the season.

“Xandria came in and stepped into a big role to play second base. She did a great job and has a bright future going forward.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Last week, we discussed the terms slave and servant. From a biblical view, how do these terms apply to us today?

Romans 6:3-4 “Or do you not know that as many of us were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life”. Verse 6 “knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin”.

Verses 16-18 “Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered, and having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness”.

When we realize that we are filled with sin, and that sin separates us from God, we should be relieved to read Romans 6:3-4. Baptism is more than just being dunked in water. When we recognize the consequence of sin, and we repent of our sins and have a desire to be cleansed of our sins, it is the act of baptism where we die to our sins, and are raised in newness of life, ie without sin. Colossians 2:12-13 Once we have been cleansed of our sins, will we strive to continue to be slaves to sin (following Satan), or will we strive to be slaves of righteousness (following God)? This is a conscious decision that each of us must make.

As humans, we may ask if we can balance between the two? In Matthew 6:24, Jesus said “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon”. He also said “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin”. John 8:34. If we try to balance between the two, then Satan has won because we have failed to wholly follow God. Once we are baptized for the remission of our sins, does this mean that we won’t ever sin again? No it doesn’t. But we have this promise from God “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light (do our best to obey), we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin (continuous action). I John 1:7 and read vs 9. We thank God for the grace he has given us (John 1:17) . We access this grace by faith Rom 5: 1-2 JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

Noemi Felizidad Campos, arrested for possession of less than 1 gram of a controlled substance.

The staff at Bluebonnet Elementary School got a jump on the fun and frivolity of summer vacation on the last of school Thursday. They bid adieu to the 2017-18 school year with a smile as they all wore t-shirts on the final day emblazoned with the words, “Dear Parents: TAG. You’re it!! Love, Teachers.” Maybe parents will get together and wear t-shirts with the reverse message when the 2018-19 year begins in August.
