solve problems, and speed healing—but then ponder an unimaginable circumstance—that you couldn’t afford the needed equipment.
With such thoughts in mind, the Hereford Kiwanis Club is sponsoring a medical equipment drive to collect donations of medical equipment that is

A look back at the 2016-17 school year for Hereford Independent School District (HISD) showed it to be an unqualified “success.” Students were released for summer vacation just more than a week ago to end a school year that featured far more good than bad. “The 2016-17 school year was a success in many ways,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “We are proud of our students and staff for their efforts and hard work. “I would love to name each accomplishment, but hesitate to do so in fear of leaving someone or some recognition out.” While reticent to get into too many specifics, Blankenship did note several things on which HISD can hang a hat for the year. The most notables, Blankenship said, were students who read more than 1 million words during the nine months of the school year and success of HISD academic teams at UIL state competitions. The latter saw the Hereford High School (HHS) Social Studies and Accounting teams successfully defend state titles, while the Current Events and Issues team placed second. Of particular note was the Accounting team, which not only scored higher than any other team across all state classifications from 1A-6A, but also sported a tie between two of its members for the individual state crown. Blankenship added those results played a key role in HISD being named PLEASE SEE HISD | 3
State champs, STAAR aces among recognitions By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
The final Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees meeting during the 201617 school year on May 22 featured student recognitions for excellence in academic competition, testing, athletics and in the classroom. Opening the usual recognitions from two HISD schools were UIL competition teams from Hereford High School as the twotime state champion Social Studies team was honored along with the state champion Accounting team and runner-up Current Events team. The teams took their honors during UIL state competition in Austin in late April. The Social Studies squad repeated as state cham-
pions and won its fourth overall to go with 11 consecutive district crowns and six region titles in the 13 years Richard LaMascus has coached the team. The team included Class of 2017 valedictorian Jose Avalos – the only returning member from the 2016 championship team – Jack Detten, Andres Cabellero and Mario Mena. The Accounting team put a stranglehold on the successful defense of its title with the highest score of any team from all classifications (1A-6A). Lone returning member and Class of 2017 salutatorian Holly Hollingsworth shared top individual honors with junior teammate Isaac Zamarripa. Other Accounting team members were Bob Baker and Zoe McCracken. PLEASE SEE BOARD | 6

If you have items of such equipment cluttering up a closet or taking up space in a bedroom, it can be brought to the Hereford Community Center on Saturday, June 3, from 9 a.m. to noon where Kiwanians will take it off your hands and put it in hands that may need it. Debbie Gonzalez, a Kiwanian who has helped to organize the drive, says the local civic club is looking to address needs in the community with the locally-originated effort. With a growing population of senior citizens, and medical needs always present in Hereford and Deaf Smith County, providing such equipment could prove a real boon for patients in need.
“We will accept donations of a wide variety. We can help local residents deal with medical equipment that they hesitate to dispose of but don’t know what to do with. This drive represents a chance to deal with these items and help others at the same time. We will also accept cash donations,” said Ms. Gonzalez. Equipment that will be accepted in the drive includes manual and power wheelchairs, electric hospital beds, shower chairs, canes, crutches and walkers, grab bars, elevated toilet seats, portable commodes, lift chairs, seating cushions, back supports, and folding ramps. “We welcome every type of item with the exception of oxygen and medications, which can’t be accepted for safety reasons,” Ms. Gonzalez said.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS The Bible says a lot about faith. What exactly is faith? A definition that is provided can be found in Hebrews 1:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. In the American Standard version, this verse reads “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”. Regardless of which version is more understandable for you, verse 2 of this chapter tells us the rest of the story. “For by it (faith) the men of old gained approval”. You should read the rest of this chapter for all of the examples of faith that are given. If the men of old gained approval by faith, then the same would be true for us. We should be able to understand this as the thought continues in Hebrews 12:1-4 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin”. Hebrews 11:6 tells us “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. The latter part of this verse indicates perseverance and effort on our part. How do we get faith? Romans 10:17 tells us “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”.
To our Patients, At Deaf Smith County Hospital District, we strive to deliver the best experience possible to our patients. Recently we had a situation occur that caused many statements in various stages of the billing process to be sent to our patients in error. Additionally, you may have received statements for services that did not include any detail. This is also an issue that we are aware of. We are actively working with the company to correct this issue. We are extremely sorry for the confusion and the frustration this has caused. We are committed to doing everything we can to provide a world-class experience at our hospital and clinic. We know that you expect this from us, and we will work hard to maintain that standard. If you have questions regarding your statement, please contact Renee Coleman, HRMC Business Office Director at 3499124. Respectfully, Jeff Barnhart, FACHE Chief Executive Officer Deaf Smith County Hospital District
How do we grow in our faith? I Peter 2:1-2 tell us “Therefore laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby”. The desired growth comes from laying aside these things and learning from the word of God. How do we come to God? II Thessalonians 2:14 tells us “to which He called you by our gospel………”. The Bible speaks of being obedient to faith (Romans 1:5 and 15:26). Hebrews 5:9 tells us “that Christ became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him.” Men talk about many faiths, but the Bible says there is only one faith (Ephesians 4:5). Several people have responded to our offer of a free bible study. The study is simple because God’s word is simple. From this study, you can begin to establish faith, or you can begin to grow in faith. Studying God’s word is the only way either of these can be accomplished. To learn more about the study, call 344-7147 or 344-4070. If you don’t have a Bible, we will give you one. These messages are brought to you by members of the Church of Christ. Our building is located on the corner of Sunset and Plains in Hereford. Our Sunday morning worship service begins at 10:30

BOARD: FROM PAGE 1
The Current Events and Issues unit took silver at state behind captain Brenden James, Detten, Kara Esquivel and Abraham Gallardo. Also in the meeting’s spotlight was West Central Elementary and was topped by recognition of Flor Luis and Xavier Sauceda for academic excellence. Luis posted a perfect score on the STAAR reading test this year, while Sauceda did the same for math. Sauceda is also the school’s reigning third-fifth grade spelling bee champion. Kaitlyn Flores was also recognized for academic excellence by her teacher, Betty Wallace. West Central PE teacher David DeLeon doffed the chapeau to the quartet of Roderick Mireles, Eduardo Gramillo, Justin Gomez and Trey Hernandez for their performance and assistance with the school’s track meet this year. West Central bi-lingual class members Jared Rodriguez, Sinai Grajeda, Savanah Pena and Genesis Torres were touted for the publication of their book “What I Could Do If I Had Four Hands.” Each student wrote and illustrated a page in the book about what they would if they had four hands. Torres also illustrated the book’s cover.
Above, academics were not the only recognitions meted out as West Central PE teacher David DeLeon lauds the athletic and assistance efforts of, from left, Roderick Mireles, Eduardo Gramillo, Justin Gomez and Trey Hernandez during the fourth-fifth grade track meet in early May.

Diamond Herd trio named All-District 2nd team By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
A season of improvement received a crowning touch last week when three members of the Hereford baseball team earned 2017 All-District 3-5A honors. Although the Whitefaces did not have a representative on the first team, seniors Marty Carnahan and Zack Martin – as well as sophomore Jake Kelso – were named to the AllDistrict second team. “I think we had some guys who had really good years and helped us out a lot, but were in loaded positions within the district,” said Hereford coach Bryan Moore, who ended his first season at the helm. “I felt Andrew Lopez was as good a centerfielder as there was. I thought Luke Nino was really good on the mound and at short for us, and (first baseman) Dylan McGinty hit the ball really well in district. “But those were all positions that were loaded with big numbers from other players in the district, so they didn’t get recognized.” Martin, who signed a let-

Martin led the team in home runs (2) and triples (3) and finished second in RBI (14) and runs scored (14), while posting a .474 on-base percentage, .600 slugging percentage and 1.074 OPS (onbase+slugging percentage). “He has great athleticism and made some big plays out there for us,” Moore said. “He was also very good with the bat and on the bases this year.” One of three Whitefaces to finish 2017 batting above .400, Carnahan – who was tabbed 3-5A, second-team third baseman – was second to McGinty in hitting with a .435 average. His total hits (30) and 8 doubles tied for the team lead, while his 2 triples were second on the team. He also finished third on Sophomore Jake Kelso led the team in RBI (20) and runs scored the squad in RBI (13) and (19), while tying for the team lead in total hits (30) and doubles runs scored (13).

Despite heat, camp has 'great turnout'
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Making the stop, 10-year-old Julia LaRue is in perfect position to field a ground ball during the Lady Herd Softball Camp. Lady Whiteface coach Ashley Marquez, who directed the camp, said “a great turnout” took part in the three-day session at the Hereford High softball field. BRAND/John Carson
Hereford Independent School District (HISD) wasted no time in cranking up the athletic camp season after classes for 2016-17 ended May 25. The first of 10 summer athletic camps – four for exclusively girls, four for exclusively boys and two co-ed camps – had its time this week as youngsters took to the diamond for the Lady Herd Softball camp. “We had a great turnout with it being the first week of summer for the kids and Memorial Day week on top of that,” Hereford High softball coach Ashley Marquez said. Although the calendar still read May when the camp opened Tuesday with summer still officially three weeks away, afternoon temperatures during the three-day camp were more in the late June-toJuly range. Subsequently, Marquez merged the two scheduled daily sessions – 9 a.m.noon for incoming thirdsixth graders and 1-4 p.m., for incoming seventh-ninth graders – into a larger morning session to help campers avoid the afternoon heat. The camp focused on the

Marquez and assistant coaches Carlyn Teichmann and Lauren Beville had plenty of help in accommodating the merged
camp session as almost the entire 2017 Lady Whiteface starting lineup was on hand. Among the Lady Herd players assisting with the camp were graduated seniors third basemen Erica Ramirez, second baseman Mickey Enriquez and outfielder Leslie Castillo, as well as returnees catcher Haylie Valdez, pitcher and leading hitter Abrie Castil-

(1.096). On the mound, he registered the only 2 saves for the Herd this season and led the team with 20 strikeouts. “Marty started the year off slower than he probably expected, but when he turned it on during district it was fun to watch,” Moore said. “He hit the ball solid against really good pitching during district play and also pitched
extremely well.” While Martin and Carnahan have played their last games for the Whitefaces, Kelso is being looked upon to continue the progress the team made this season. The sophomore secondteam, All-District second sacker also saw playing time at shortstop and ended the season with a .395 batting average, .483 on-base percentage, .500 slugging percentage and .983 OPS. In registering the second-most plate appear-
ances (89) and most official at-bats (76), Kelso shared the team lead in hits (30) and doubles (8) with Carnahan and set the pace in RBI (20) and runs scored (19). “We put a lot on Jake,” Moore said. “He hit in the middle of the order all year, pitched, caught and played middle infield. That’s a lot to ask for a sophomore to do. “Jake held his own – especially at the plate. We are excited to see what else he brings the next couple of years.”
