City to add pavilion to Dameron Park landscape By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Dameron Park remains in the spotlight for the Hereford City Commission as more improvements will continue to come its way. Commissioners gave their approval to the construction of a covered pavilion at the park during the June 18 regular meeting. “This is going to be a great addition to the park and community,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “It is something that has been needed out there for a while. I’m glad we’re finally getting it done.”
A pavilion no less than identical to the one behind the first tee at John Pitman Golf Course will be built at Dameron Park after approval was given by the Hereford City Commission on June 18. BRAND/John Carson The pavilion will be virtually identical to the one behind the first tee at John Pitman Golf Course. Like the golf course pavilion, the one at Dameron will be covered with a ce-
ment floor and be wired for electricity and audio. Hanna said decisions are being made on the actual size with hopes being the Dameron model will be larger.
At the minimum, Hanna said the park pavilion would be the same size as the one at the golf course. The pavilion is the third time Dameron Park has been the subject of board

Any hopes being held out that work on the track at Whiteface Stadium would not be as extensive as feared have been dashed.

What was an impressive fund balance a year ago continues to take its fair share of hits as the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees sliced off several more portions during its June 18 meeting. The meeting, normally the fourth Monday of each month, was moved to the third Monday for the third consecutive month. Having technically already passed a significant bump in price, trustees officially approved $763,142.40 more than the original $4 million appropriated in November for renovation of Tierra Blanca Elementary School (TBES). Trustees had given their OK to the increase when they approved a maximum project construction INGRAM price in May of $4.763 million, but followed legal advice to approve the addition separately. While board members knew that was coming, they were less aware of another $1 million-plus in appropriations that were made. A 2 percent raise for teachers, administrators and the superintendent was approved, as was an increase in the HISD starting teacher salary from $41,000-$41,500 per year. Although officials admitted that even with the increase, HISD starting salary is considerably lower than others in the region and the raise would effectively be offset by potential increases in health insurance, the raise package totaled another $430,000 taken from the fund balance. Trustees were also forced to put $604,000 into a foodservice fund balance to satisfy Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) requirements for foodservice fund reserves. As districts must maintain two months of operating expenses in reserve, as mandated by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the same holds true via TDA via foodservice PLEASE SEE TRUSTEES | 6

stage to Dameron Park, a subject that commissioners had already been discussing, in May. A month earlier, commissioners had approved funding for irrigation to be added to specific areas of the park. The new pavilion, Hanna said, would be built on the west side of Dameron Park near Avenue B. With hopes of starting the project in August, Hanna added construction should take about six weeks with completion expected by mid-
September. Hanna said the project should cost just more than $50,000. In other action, commissioners gave approval for Hereford Lions Club to provide signage and name a disc golf course to be built at Veteran’s Park. The disc course plan was approved last month when Riley Tiemann requested permission to construct the course at the park as part of becoming an Eagle Scout. The project will cost the city “very little,” according to Tiemann, and “be a good addition” to the park. Hereford Lions Club is assisting

OPINION
The Tin Man
Separated parents, children gain widespread attention
“You people with hearts have something to guide you, and need never do wrong, but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful.” – The Tin Man, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz In Frank L . Baum’s classic story, The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and her motley crew skipped down the yellow brick road in search of a brain, some courage, a heart and a home. In the end, Dorothy realizes that each of them has already proven they possessed the one valuable thing they sought. The little girl from Kansas had only to look down at her own feet to find the way home. It turns out they didn’t need an all-powerful wizard after all. The weeks of June have sizzled with controversy, disbelief and moral outrage as we learned that children were being callously seized along our southern borders and warehoused in detention centers, removed from their families like confiscated Cuban cigars. Toddlers and breast-fed infants were among 2,300 traumatized children to be separated from their mothers and placed into federal custody, shuffled between defense contractors, agents of Homeland ALL IN Security and Human Kerrie Womble Steiert Health Services. This is the point where three-fourths of my readers will stop and turn the page, muttering, “If you don’t want to lose your kids, don’t break the law.” And you’d be right if this human drama could be viewed as a simple, black-andwhite case of crime and punishment, if little kids weren’t the collateral at stake. But the immigration dilemma is a global crisis that is as far from simple as the Land of Oz is from the wheat fields of Kansas. The USA’s enviable quality of life, prosperity and equal opportunity make it a natural attraction for those not blessed by the grace of God to be born American citizens with inherent, unalienable rights. Of course, the U.S. cannot absorb all of Central America’s fleeing population and border security is paramount for all nations and affected citizenry. Mexico, which enforces tough immigration policies, hypocritically ignores the burden dumped on the USA. Conservatives fear that America is like Titanic’s last lifeboat, in danger of capsizing from the rescue of so many others. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempesttossed to me…” In this selfie era of “America first,” should we discard Lady Liberty’s compassionate invitation to foreigners who aspire to lead a better life? Have we exhausted opportunities for new citizens in a country populated by generations of immigrants? Is it time for America to take in her welcome mat and slam the door? If so, we might revise the Statue of Liberty’s noble inscription with the following entreaty: “Give me your Swedes, your rich, your black athletes yearning for points three, the trophy brides from your Slavic country. Send these, the non-losers —bad hombres tossed— to me.” Refugees seeking asylum are not criminals, vermin, rapists or killers, but people transformed by tragedy into wayfaring strangers with no safe place to be. Tens of thousands are unaccompanied children whose primary drive is to escape violence. They are the world’s homeless, unwanted and misunderstood. Many are on the run, displaced by war, starvation, tyranny and violence in far-flung places like Honduras and Guatemala. We have no concept of the forces that propel them to our borders, of their desperation and hopeless situation. They undertake the hard, dangerous journey north because they’re out of options and in search of the freedom to find a home, education for their children and a future. They’ve put their frayed hope in the storied promise of America, a country of shining ideals and protections they can barely imagine. It’s nonproductive to approach immigration from a place of fear, distrust or hatred. Resolution requires a brain to balance national interests, courage to form bipartisan, common-sense policy and a heart for those deserving a chance to start over. Border states share an uneasy alliance with more than six million illegal immigrants from Mexico who are absorbed into communities like Hereford because they work for little money and fill the grubby jobs no one else wants. They file our toenails, shovel manure, plaster our walls, wash dishes and scrub toilets. It’s likely all of us have directly or indirectly paid for the services of an undocumented worker. Our economy has a symbiotic relationship with illegals, whether we like it or not. It takes a heartless negotiator—a tin man with a hollow, echoing chest—to decide to use children as bargaining chips, as a warning and as leverage to get an isolationist agenda passed. When the executive branch adopted the tactic of family separation in April, where were the administration’s better angels? Perhaps they too have been fired.

AUSTIN – Although border-crossing issues are largely federal matters, the Lone Star State has been a center of news reports about authorities separating children from their parents at detention centers along the Rio Grande. President Trump on June 20 ordered a cease in the forced separation of family members who are in detention, but the fate of more than 2,000 minors who were taken away from their parents remained unresolved. On June 21, a contingency of the non-partisan United States Conference of Mayors, including Austin Mayor Steve Adler, gathered at a border detention center in Tornillo, near El Paso. The mayors were not allowed to enter the facility where children reportedly were being held. "Using children in order to deter or dissuade folks from coming to our border and seeking asylum is unjust. It is wrong. It is immoral and it STATE is un-American. We are better than that," Adler said at the CAPITAL beginning of a longer, widely HIGHLIGHTS disseminated video stateEd Sterling ment. Meanwhile, many Republican and Democratic members of Congress are seeking solutions that would keep more asylum-seeking families together and reunite families that have been separated. Court rules against ban The Texas Supreme Court on June 22 upheld a ruling by the Texas 4th Court of Appeals that the city of Laredo's ban on single-use plastic bags is illegal. The ruling effectively invalidates bag bans across the state, said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. "Municipalities violate the law when they unlawfully pass the burden of solid waste management to citizens and retailers through illegal bag bans. I hope that Laredo, Austin and any other jurisdictions that have enacted illegal bag bans will take note and voluntarily bring their ordinances into compliance with state law. Should they decline to do so, I expect the ruling will be used to invalidate any other illegal bag bans statewide," Paxton said. Operation gets results Attorney General Paxton on June 18 announced the Consumer Protection Division of his office had taken legal action against three companies, including a Houston-based labor poster operation, as a part of the Federal Trade Commission's sweep targeting scam artists who attempt to defraud small businesses. "Operation Main Street" resulted in 24 actions nationwide against individuals or companies accused of ripping off small businesses. The collaborative effort included participation by the offices of seven other state attorneys general, the Better Business Bureau and two U.S. attorneys' offices, among others. Paxton said his office obtained a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against Corporate Compliance Solutions, a company that solicited small businesses with warnings of their need to comply with federal labor laws. The company tricked business owners into thinking they needed to buy an $84 labor law compliance poster or face fines and possible imprisonment, Paxton said. Paxton's office also obtained a permanent injunction and restitution order against American Advertising Concepts, a company that sold advertising space on dry erase boards to small business owners nationwide by falsely claiming affiliations with schools and apartment complexes. Additionally, Paxton's office filed a lawsuit against Solvera, a company that Paxton said "duped individuals into paying thousands of dollars by falsely leading them to believe it could improve a business' reputation in internet search results." Emergency election is set Gov. Greg Abbott issued a proclamation ordering a July 31 emergency special election to fill the Senate District 19 seat formerly occupied by Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio. Uresti resigned from office effective June 21. He was convicted of fraud and money laundering by a San Antonio federal district court on June 18. Senate District 19 includes Brewster, Crockett, Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Kinney, Maverick, Medina, Pecos, Real, Reeves, Terrell, Uvalde, Val Verde and Zavala counties and parts of Atascosa and Bexar counties. SBOE OKs ethnic course The State Board of Education on June 15 announced preliminarily approval a new social studies course titled "Ethnic Studies: Mexican American Studies." A second and final vote on curriculum standards for the course will take place at the board's Sept. 11-14 meeting. If approved, the one-credit elective course would then become the first SBOE-approved ethnic studies course in Texas. Once fully adopted, the course will be available for use in Texas public schools in the 2019-20 school year. The course is based on a course created by the Houston Independent School District.

Outdoors Stocking boosts recovery for Panhandle fisheries
Have news to share? John Carson, Managing Editor, editor@herefordbrand.com
In a recent article we took a look at some of the thoughts and comments of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Inland Fisheries Regional Director Brian Van Zee and Panhandle region anglers concerning a resurgent Lake Meredith and the angling opportunities it affords. Thanks to good inflow in 2017, and the release of water from Ute Lake in New Mexico that gave bottom of the water bucket Lake Meredith a new lease on life, recreational use has rebounded strongly. Meredith is a big, rocky impoundment not particularly loaded with habitat for largemouth bass, but ideal for other species. In those rare seasons when water levels rise and flood brush, there can be a brief flourish in largemouth angling, but it usually doesn’t last all that long. What has added to the challenge for both managing the Meredith fishery and for anglers using its waters is its fluctuating water levels that have been nowhere near conservation levels since it was first impounded, salinity, and periodic outbreaks of golden algae. Yet, in writing about Lake Meredith angling across over three decades, a familiar lament has been regularly sounded from some circles that Lake Meredith ought to be heavily stocked with largemouth bass, and walleyes in the lake are "uncatchable." Au contraire, Van Zee points out. "Lake Meredith is well suited for both walleye and smallmouth bass, and in fact it has produced both the State Record walleye as well as the State Record smallmouth bass. Furthermore, based on our past creel surveys, walleye are
Walleye remain the top fish sought by anglers on Lake Meredith and Greenbelt Lake, and accordingly, both reservoirs received hefty stockings for 2017-18. Contributed photo the most targeted species in Lake Meredith. That does not mean that anglers don’t also fish for or target largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, but that level of effort over the entire year is less than the amount of effort directed towards walleye. Also, I think it’s important to mention that our intentions were and always have been to stock largemouth bass in Lake Meredith, but we wanted to get the walleye and smallmouth bass fisheries reestablished first. Even after the low water levels and Golden Algae related fish kills on Lake Meredith, we know that largemouth bass are still present in Lake Meredith and they are spawning, so they will be repopulating the lake on their own. With that said, we are planning on stocking Lake Meredith in 2019 with largemouth bass to supplement the population as well. I think it’s important to note that
typically, natural recruitment in a lake that has recently caught some water and flooded new habitat will often far exceed anything we can stock in terms of numbers, and this will be true for the largemouth bass in Lake Meredith," Van Zee said. "We do not plan on stocking Florida largemouth bass, as our data shows that Florida largemouth bass don’t do as well as regular largemouth bass in a lake that is as far north in the state as is Lake Meredith. Even after stocking Florida largemouth bass for many years in Lake Meredith, the Florida Largemouth Bass influence, as measured by testing the population genetics, remained very low." Walleye stocking into suitable habitat is a point of emphasis for several High Plains impoundments, according to data on stockings for 2017-2018 provided by Van Zee.
In that period, Meredith received 39,463 smallmouth bass fingerlings compared to 3,066,592 walleye fingerlings. Similarly, a recovering Greenbelt Lake got 1,681,620 walleye fry. In hopes of rebuilding a Golden Algae and drought devastated fishery, Baylor Creek Reservoir got 5,441,800 fingerling bluegill to begin rebuilding a forage base, along with 56,460 fingerling Florida largemouth bass, and 112 adult Florida largemouth bass. Adjacent to Baylor Creek, Childress Reservoir received 17,525 fingerling bluegill, and 19,840 fingerling Florida largemouth bass, again building toward the future of these once-excellent fisheries. Lake Mackenzie near Silverton got 5,130 fingerling Palmetto bass that are a striped and white bass cross. Palo Duro Reservoir re-
ceived 9,000 fingerling largemouth bass. Medical Center South in Amarillo received 13,235 fingerling channel catfish to help build that fishery over time. Small numbers of channel catfish fingerlings were stocked in a number of other Panhandle lakes and fisheries. The crux of it all is that if water levels hold up, salt levels stay down, and golden algae remains absent, improved days are ahead for Panhandle fisheries. Incidentally, for those who maintain that the walleye in Lake Meredith simply can’t be caught, I witnessed an object lesson on the topic several years ago during a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department public hearing in Amarillo. We had sat through a prolonged tirade from a bass tournament organizer demanding betater things for the Meredith largemouth bass fishery, and bashing walleyes as a sport fish.
An angler from Borger finally got a turn to talk. He reached beneath his chair and pulled out a cooler, filled with a nice stringer of "uncatchable" walleye that he had caught in the course of three hours on Lake Meredith, while on his way to the Amarillo hearing. He urged anglers to fish with lighter line for walleyes, use sensitive rods, and to have a little patience for the learning curve. Heck, even I have caught one walleye after another on Lake Meredith when the conditions were right. In fact, what I learned about recognizing structure for walleye fishing on Lake Meredith prepared me well for when I was blessed to get to join a trip to Canada to fish for walleyes. They certainly didn’t know they were "uncatchable." Jim Steiert is an award winning member of the Texas Outdoor Writers Association and a Certified Texas Master Naturalist.

vealed no simple fix was at hand. “We need to replace the base,” said Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Chief Operations Officer Joe Mendez, who is overseeing the project. “Normally, we would only resurface the top layers, but we will have to redo the entire track.” Mendez and HISD security director Bryan Hedrick walked the track with contractors to inspect the situation after the surface had been removed. The inspection revealed what had been feared most – damage was too severe to allow for patching and only partial repair. With school officials expecting a maximum of 30 percent of the entire needing replacement, which was feasible under a patch-and-repair plan, Mendez said it turned out that more than 50 percent of the track’s substructure was damaged and in need of replacement.

programs. The appropriation came a month after trustees raised the price of school lunches by 25 cents after failing to meet mandated price-increase requirements for the past three years. “We must maintain two months operating expenses in reserve,” HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram said of the appropriation. “We’re hopeful we can start making a profit with food service. “We will turn this around by December or look for alternatives.” On top of that, recent months have seen trustees dole out more than $377,000 for raises to hourly employees and another $324,000 for replacement of the Whiteface Stadium track. Prior to approving the TDA reserve funding, District V Trustee Robert de la Cruz inquired on the state of the onceburgeoning fund balance. According to Ingram, HISD started the 2017-18 school year with $15.263 million in its unencumbered fund balance. However, not all that was available. HISD stays on the safe side of TEA requirements and keeps three months operating expenses in reserve – which totals roughly $7.5 million. It the remainder that allocations have been made, and by the time the TDA fund reserved was approved, Ingram reported HISD had $1.6 million left above its three-months operations reserve. “We’re getting tighter, but we’re still in good [budget] shape,” he said. “We have to continue to be frugal and conservative with our spending.” In other action, trustees placed a pair of items on back burners when an optional flexible school day plan and K-12 sex education curriculum were tabled. “We want to explore the opportunities and information we have available before bringing this to the board,” board president and District VII Trustee Clay McNeely said. Officials expect needed information on the flexible school day plan by the July meeting, but specifically tabled the sex education for the 2018-19 school year “indefinitely to gather more information.”

Tracks consist of effectively three layers – a foundation of caliche and sand topped by a layer of asphalt on which the synthetic track surface is laid. Mendez said inspection showed the track needed replacing down the caliche base. Virtually all the problems with the track have stemmed from a combination of natural sources and attrition due to age and use. “There were numer-
ous pockets of wear that could have been repaired, but only come back in a short time,” Mendez said. “There were also a lot of places where the track was not level because the ground had shifted. “We just need to fix it right. If we’re going to [work on the track], then we need to do it right.” HISD trustees had considered that when approving funding for the project in March. In soliciting quotes for the work, the board re-
quested companies submit numbers for only resurfacing the track, resurfacing and patching the sublayer, or replacing the sublayer and laying a new surface. A report on the condition of the track and ongoing problems included information that Randall High School had withdrawn from the 2018 Whiteface Invitational Track Meet because of concern over condition of the track. The board approved a
potential $324,490 bid from Hellas Construction that was the lowest overall, but had the highest cost for replacing the sublayer. At the time, trustees opted for Hellas because its overall bid was lowest and its price for potential patch work was based on square yards instead of square feet as the other two submitted. Hereford High School boy athletic director Don DeLozier told trustees in March a new track would
have an eight-year warranty and life expectancy of more than 10 years. Work is continuing throughout the summer with the old track surface now completely removed. Mendez said work should be completed before the start of the 2018-19 school year. A noticeable difference for the new track will be its color, Mendez added, which is being changed from black to a Herd maroon.

Start the month of July with us this Sunday as we look toward the July 4th celebration of Independence Day in our country. The first part of our time will include singing "America, the Beautiful" the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and the opportunity to recite the pledge to the flag. The message from Pastor Danny Mize will be "Symbols of Slavery and Freedom" – connecting the four principles of Freedom, Independence, Dependence and Interdependence. Peggy Mize will lead us in singing the patriotic songs, as well as "Victory In Jesus" and "Jesus Paid It All." Cindy Cassels will provide the piano accompaniment. At 9:00 a.m. Sunday, Dennis Hicks will lead the third of six weekly sessions in a study called "Recovery Road." Fellowship and refreshments are available each Sunday by 10:00 a.m. and the worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. Communion will be served to all who wish to partake. Fellowship of Believers is located at 245 N. Kingwood, and everyone is welcome to attend. Questions? Leave a message at 364-0359. By the way, we are the ones sponsoring the morning devotional minute heard on KNNK Radio, 100.5 FM, 7:25 a.m. Monday through Friday.
