Freon leak forces evacuation of HISD building

WHAT'S INSIDE

The hum-drum of a midJune, post-school year work day was turned upside down Wednesday when officials were forced to evacuate Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Administration for safety reasons.

According to HISD Superintendent and Hereford Fire Marshal Dean Turney, a Freon leak from air conditioning units at the North 25 Mile Avenue facility effectively swamped the building around 3 p.m., resulting in the evacuation of personnel and end of the HISD business day.

Hereford Fire Department and rescue units were dispatched Wednesday to HISD Administration Building in response to a Freon leak that forced a mid-afternoon evacuation of the building and end of the business day.

“We called 911, and the building was evacuated,” Blankenship said.

Units from Hereford Fire Department, as well as ambulances, responded to the call, and Turney said all school personnel was out of the building by the time first responders arrived.

Although no injuries were reported by either Blankenship or Turney, the scene apparently resembled that of a large fire.

“It was a large leak,” Turney said. “It filled the entire building. The fog from it was so thick you couldn’t see in the hallway.”

What happened in May and where to go from here will be the questions in the spotlight Monday during a called meeting of the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees.

For the second time in as many years, May 6 saw voters shoot down a HISD bond issue by a clear majority.

Despite concerted efforts by school officials to circulate information and hype the importance and need of the $45 million measure, as well as express the paramount necessity of voter involvement, the bond drew just 16.7 percent of the county’s eligible 8,118 registered voters as 58.8 percent (795) voted against it and 557 (41.2 percent) favored its passage.

As with a $42.6 million bond that failed in 2015 when only 14.9 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, HISD officials have distributed surveys on the matter to the 1,359 people who voted – of which, some 465 had been returned as of Thursday.

The results of that survey – as well as community comments heard by school officials regarding the failed issue – are the focal point of the meeting.

“We have to reassess things and formulate a plan,” then-board president Angel Barela said after the meeting was originally planned May 26. “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.”

At the May 26 meeting, Barela was replaced as president by District 1 member PLEASE SEE TRUSTEES | 3

Volunteers needed for Black garden The Deaf Smith County Historical Society is looking for individuals or groups of volunteers with or without a green thumb, but who are willing to get their hands dirty for a good cause. Volunteers are needed to assist with working in the colorful flower gardens of the historic E.B. Black House at 508 West 3rd St. Volunteers routinely meet to work in the gardens from 9-11 a.m., on Tuesdays through the summer months and into the fall. The longtime usual work force has dwindled in recent years, and willing hands are needed to maintain the picturesque nature of this local treasure.

If interested in assisting

with this volunteer effort, contact Historical Society members Cheryl Betzen at 364-8139, Paula Edwards at 364-5930 or Deaf Smith County Museum at 3637070.

Turney said emergency personnel were on the scene some two hours to clear the gas from the building “before leaving the situation with the schools.”

Turney advised – and Blankenship confirmed – that another five-six hours was needed to completely ventilate the building under HISD supervision.

“It all went well,” Turney said. “Right according to plan.”

“They have given us no timetables,” Hereford Economic Development Corporation executive director Michael Kitten said.

“I had a conversation with city officials who said they had been contacted concerning permitting, utilities and laying of the foundation.”

NOTICE FINAL PUBLIC HEARING TEXAS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Deaf Smith County will hold a final public hearing on Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 5:05 PM. The hearing will be held at the County Courthouse in Hereford, Texas, in regard to the Sewer System Improvement Project that was recently completed with a Texas Community Development Block Grant (TxCDBG). Topics to be discussed will include the specific program improvements completed and the costs associated with the TxCDBG and Deaf Smith County. Handicapped citizens needing assistance to attend this hearing should contact D.J. Wagner, County Judge, at (806) 363-7000.

Para obtener una copia en espanol, comuniquese con D.J. Wagner al (806) 363-7000.

Hereford Assistant City Manager Steve Bartels confirmed that conversation had taken place and also confirmed the city had also not received information concerning a construction schedule or potential completion and opening dates.

Bartels said some of the permitting needed is with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Burger King officials are reportedly waiting to

hear back on its permit request.

While Bartels admitted Burger King was “hot and heavy” on the project before interest has appeared to wane, Kitten mentioned the site clearing at the last Joint Entities meeting of county elected boards in April.

Although details of the new eatery are unclear and still unknown, Kitten did say once completed it will be a welcomed addi-

tion to town.

“It will provide increased infrastructure, job creation, an increase in property tax revenue and an economic boost to sales tax revenues,” he said. “It is huge for us to get an entity like that coming in when we are such an ag-based community.

“Anytime a different type of company or industry can come it is a big deal and a real overall boost.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS In Matthew 7:13, Christ said “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it”.

The choices that we make in life put us on one of these two paths.

And God allows us free will to choose which path we decide to follow.

Someone may say “I cannot find the narrow path”. To me, this statement means that they are not looking or have not looked for it – or if they looked, they paid no attention. In I Corinthians 15:12, Paul wrote “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which you are also saved, IF you hold fast that word which I preached to you – unless you believed in vain”.

James wrote in his epistle “to be swift to hear…….lay aside all filthiness and abundance of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves”. James 1:1922.

God’s message is readily available to anyone who is looking.

But, someone may say “ the narrow way is just too restrictive. It does not allow me to enjoy the pleasures of life – things some may call sin, but they are so much fun! I believe I can balance between the narrow way some of the time, and the wide way some of the time”.

In Matthew 6:24, Christ 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 one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon”.

Paul also speaks to this in Romans Chapter 6, where he talks about being dead to sin and alive to God. VS 1-2 “What shall we say then?

Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” Vs 4 “Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism unto 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”. Vs 6-7 “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. For he who has died has been freed from sin”. Vs 12 – “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts”. Vs 16 – “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?”

We would like to help you with a study that is simple and easy to understand. Call 344-7147 or 344-4070 for more information. If you do not have a bible, we will give you one.

Why do things stay in orbit?

An object in motion will stay in motion unless something pushes or pulls on it. This statement is called Newton’s first law of motion. Without gravity, an Earthorbiting satellite would go off into space along a straight line. With gravity, it is pulled back toward Earth.

9 Track camp lays foundations for Lady Herd future

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

There were foundations of several types laid this week during the annual Lady Herd Track Camp at Whiteface Stadium.

The four-day camp featured exposure to all aspect of the multi-faceted sport of track and field for the more than 25 third-eighth graders who took part.

“Camp went great,” Hereford girls track and Whiteface cross country coach Jose Huerta said.

“There was a good turnout, and everyone was ready to learn.

“All the campers were pleased with how it went, and they all did really well.”

As with all the Herd athletic camps, fundamentals were at the core of the instruction.

From the proper ways and techniques to stretch and warm up to the correct ways to perform the different aspects of the sport were at the forefront throughout the daily sessions.

“Fundamentals are the key,” Huerta said.

“While some of the older kids may have had some more experience, the reality is that regardless of age and experience,

Alondra Baca, Zaibrieanne Tamez, Samantha Gabel, Brianno Roddy and Nikayla Brown do their hops to stretch things out and get warmed up during Monday’s opening camp session.

“Fundamentals are crucial in track.”

Among the keys to those fundamentals was posture while running – something Huerta was quick to point out was paramount for success on the oval.

Unlike the immediate thought that comes to mind about posture – body position – the term encompasses much, much more in the sport.

While body position is essential, Huerta said also are the movement and positions of feet, legs, knees, arms and hands to make the most

of stride and effort.

“Whether someone is running sprints or distance, the overall posture is the same,” he said. “The only difference is that with sprints, the runner is intentionally moving faster.”

With each daily session concentrating on proper w a r m up techniques and regimes to open, the latter part of each day was devoted to a different aspect of track.

Monday’s opening day was spent entirely on warm-ups and stretching before work on field events began Tuesday.

Tuesday saw campers devote time to shot put and discus under

the tutelage of assistant coach Sarah Hobbs with Wednesday using time to specifically work on techniques of triple jump and long jump.

The camp closed Thursday with campers delving into the details of sprints and learning proper positioning to set up and how to come out of starting blocks.

“We wanted to cover all aspects of track over the four days,” Huerta said. “Track is more than just running.

“There was a lot cover, and we wanted to put it as simple as we could.

I think everyone did a great job taking everything in.”

A secondary purpose

of the camp – and one not far from the top for Huerta – was laying groundwork for the future.

In addition to teaching fundamentals and proper techniques, the camp served as a platform to prepare elementary and middle school athletes to train and make the improvements necessary to eventually become members of the Lady Whiteface track team.

“Camp gets these kids exposed to what is needed and what is expected of them,” Huerta said. “This is not like a PE class in school, where they have to take part.

These kids were here because they wanted to be and are interested in track.”

The exclusively girls athletic camps of the summer wind up this week with the Lady Herd Volleyball Camp.

Under the guidance of Lady Whiteface coach Catherine Foerster and assistant Lauren Beville, a former West Texas A&M star, the MondayThursday camp will feature a pair of daily sessions.

Incoming third-sixth graders will meet each day from 9 a.m.-noon, and incoming seventhninth graders will take the afternoon slot from 1-4 p.m.

The camp takes place at the Whiteface varsity gym and double gyms at Hereford Junior High.

Cost is $40, and registration begins 30 minutes prior to each first session on Monday.

The first of three coed camps opens Tuesday, June 27 with the Herd Golf Camp set to run Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, June 27, 2930 from 5-7 p.m., on the practice range at John Pitman Golf Course.

It is also $40 with firstninth graders invited to take part.
