Where do we go from here? That is the question the Hereford Independent School District (HISD)
Board of Trustees will meet head on in a called meeting next month. Trustees decided during Monday’s regular meeting to call a meeting for June 19 or 20 to delve deeper into the failure of a $45
bond issue on May 6. Voters nixed a HISD bond issue for the second time since 2015 by a 795-557 vote earlier this month. “We have to start to reassess things and formulate a plan,” outgoing board pres-
ident Angel Barela said. “We need to discuss this. The board doesn’t have the luxury of much choice. “The needs didn’t go away. They must be addressed.” The bond vote – which
drew only 16.7 percent of the county’s eligible 8,118 registered voters – shot down a $45 million measure that would have addressed a number of PLEASE SEE TRUSTEES | 5

When Deaf Smith County Precinct 3 Commissioner Mike Brumley initiated discussion at the May 8 commissioners court meeting over the outright purchase or leasing of county motor graders, he had a specific reason in mind. At Monday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court, separate agenda items to advertise for bids to purchase and lease motor graders were both tabled as discussion continued. The discussion took up a portion of the agenda-ed meeting and continued for at least 30 minutes after the official business of the meeting was completed. What has become apparent is the issue is rife with questions – and many of those questions begat other questions – on what is the best course for the county take. “This is why I wanted BRUMLEY to do this,” Brumley said. “There are lots of questions. This way we are not under any deadlines and can get all the answers we need before having to make decisions.” Although commissioners have already agreed to go through state Buy Board channels to replace current motor graders – thus eliminating the need for a bidding process – they are also looking at not having to do that until later in the year. With representatives from John Deere and Cat in attendance Monday, commissioners also received a comparison of lease plans from Mike Cuba of American National Leasing Company. His figures presented three- and fivePLEASE SEE LEASE | 9

A United Methodist Action Reach-Out Mission by Youth (UM ARMY) team from the Northwest Texas and North Texas Annual Conferences, including the Dallas area, will be in Hereford June 25-June 30 to perform mission work in Herford. The target group for the UM ARMY’s efforts includes elderly, handicapped, and low income individuals within Hereford who may need repair work around their home. Individuals applying for help must own the home, unless they are requesting help with a handicap access ramp. Rev.

The mission team will tackle projects including new construction, home repairs and maintenance. Projects included in new construction are handicapped assistance and wheelchair ramps, wooden porches, enclosed porches, and small sheds. Home repairs that can be performed by the team include steps, handrails, hanging doors, patching leaky roofs, porches, floorboards, saggy windows, replacing window glass, freeing stuck PLEASE SEE ARMY | 5

SPRING RECITAL AT GRANDMOTHER’S--Spring recital can be a nervous time for any young piano student, given that pieces must be played from memory as well as from sheet music,but having their grandmother, Cheryl Betzen, a veteran piano instructor for nearly 30 years, as their piano teacher, duet partner, and page turner likely took the pressure off for piano students Victoria,Macy, ,and Paul Betzen during their spring recital performance May 9. Victoria, a 13 year old eighth grader, Macy, an eight year old second grader, and Paul, an 11 year old sixth grader, all began taking music lessons at five years old, and kept their cool at the keyboard during their performances. The young pianists are the children of Nathan and Amy Betzen. Cheryl Betzen is also a pianist at Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church. Not suprisingly, she also has four granddaughters who play violin, with one of them performing with the junior symphony in Colorado Springs, CO. Photo by Jim Steiert

If you know of someone in need of help, or if you need something done at your home please fill out an application at the church office. There is no guarantee that the mission team will get to all projects if there are a large number of applications,” said Rev. Bushart.

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
The five Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Herd Summer Sports Camps are spread throughout most of the summer to keep youngsters ready for the upcoming seasons when the 2017-18 school year begins Aug. 21. Baseball kicks off the boys camp season with a Tuesday-Friday, June 1316 run at the Hereford High baseball field adjacent to Whiteface Stadium. The camp is for incoming third-ninth graders with a 9 a.m.-noon session directed by Herd coach Bryan Moore, who just completed his first year at the varsity helm. Registration is set for 8:30 a.m., Tuesday, June 13 at the baseball field. For more information, call Moore at 806-3637626. The action moves to the hardwood during the last week of June for the Herd Basketball Camp. The Monday-Thursday, June 26-29 camp will feature a pair of daily sessions. Incoming third-sixth graders are set to go from 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m., with incoming seventh-ninth graders going from 1-4 p.m., at the Hereford Junior High varsity gym. Whiteface coach C.J.

specifications of what is needed are completely known. Cuba said more and more counties were going the leasing route in response to a question from Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner about how widespread the use of leasing was. “We purchased nine Volvo graders nine years ago, and they all are coming to the point of needing to be replaced,” Wagner said. “We have agreed to purchase two or three per year during the next five years [to replace the county’s 12 graders].” Lease plans Cuba presented included guaranteed buy-back prices when the contract ends
Thursday’s end to the 2016-17 school year means the lazy, crazy days of summer lie ahead for students as they bask in the glow of summer vacation. The end of school also means the start of the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) athletic camp season with things wasting no time in kicking off. Of the five girls camps scheduled for summer break, four are slated in June – and one is not even waiting for the calendar to turn to get started. The camp slate gets underway Tuesday with the HISD Softball Camp. The camp will be run by Lady Whiteface head coach Ashley Marquez and features a pair of daily sessions through Friday, June 2. The 9 a.m.-noon morning session is set aside for incoming third-sixth graders with the 1-4 p.m., afternoon slot for incoming seventhninth graders. Camp sessions will be held at the varsity softball field behind Hereford High School (HHS) or in the HHS triple gym if the weather is bad. For details or to register, email Marquez at ashleymarquez@herefordisd.net. With a new camp starting each week in June, the girls basketball camp is next up from Monday, June 5-Thursday, June 8.

and also showed the county could effectively make money by making a down payment of $70,000-$90,000 on each grader. Precinct 1 Commissioner Chris Kahlich raised questions over the productivity differential between rear-wheel and all-wheel drive models and whether any potential asset was worth the $34,000 price difference. “There are advantages to sixwheel drive,” Precinct 3 foreman Bobby Hammock said. “It is great if you can afford it. We are currently at maximum loads with our four-wheel drive, and it works fine.” Other lease questions raised
by commissioners concerned potential usage limits, warranties, repairs and maintenance. Wagner noted the county wants to keep four-five months of operating expenses in its fund balance and currently has $215,000 over that on hand. He also raised the point that based on the lease plans, the county would pay approximately $370,000 per year for graders – and if leased, would be in line to get new graders every three years. He also suggested comparing the lease options to how much the county has spent in grader purchase payments during the
past 10 years. “If the county doesn’t have the fund to purchase, then leasing is to our advantage,” Brumley said. “If we can do either, then it’s a wash. “Leasing is not something I think we should do, but that’s the good thing about this. We are under no deadlines, so we can get all the information we need.” Plans are already in the works for county workers to receive a demonstration of Deere graders to see the differences between four-wheel and all-wheel drive models. The date of the demonstration has not been set.
