Replacing graders more than buy vs. lease By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court has been engaged in discussion and debate over the pros and cons of purchasing or leasing motor graders for more than a month. Prompted by Precinct 3 Commissioner Mike Brumley, the court has been examining the advantages and disadvantages
of each as precincts saw the need for a decision at hand to replace graders and attempt to get the most out of its current machines as trade-ins or being sold. “I believe leasing makes it easier to know what to budget each year for graders,” Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner said during Mon-
WAGNER
day’s regular meeting of the commissioners court. “I know that Precincts 3 and 4 need machines.” Wagner had said during previous discussions that leasing looked preferable because the payment would be a set amount (approximately $31,000) per machine as the county started replacement of all 12 of its
graders – three per precinct. In addition to knowing the exact amount per machine for annual budgeting, Wagner noted that leasing would allow the county to effectively get new graders at the end of each three-year lease cycle. Commissioners had already agreed to replace four graders per year for the next three

HEREFORD HISTORY 18 year ago • July 8, 1999
The 10-million-bushel grain facility in Hereford has been used by FritoLay, which is based in Plano, to supply foodgrade corn to its domestic snack plants and specific international businesses.
The only true way to beat the summer heat in Hereford is have mom take you for a dip in the pool at Josserand Aquatic Park as 4-year-old Devon Ruiz finds out Thursday when a cascade of cool water takes him by surprise.

The money was already there, so all that had to be determined was exactly where it was going to be spent as the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court began specifying 2017 paving projects during its regular meeting June 26. “The funding [for paving] has already been approved and is in the budget,” Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner said to commissioners. “We just need for you to pick the roads.” However, a dilemma exists in that not all county roads in need of paving will be on the lists. While paving funds are in the budget, it only amounts to $200,000 of an estimated $538,000 worth of needed improvements. With bids already accepted for paving, the process will cost the county roughly $20,000 per mile, subsequently, only 9.5-10 miles of a designated 26 miles of county roads in need of paving will be addressed. Of the 26 miles of road noted to need paving, none are in Precinct 3. Precinct 2 has the most in need of repair at 14 miles with Precincts 1 and 4 having 6 miles each. Wagner suggested commissioners from those three precincts – Chris Kahlich in Precinct 1, Jerry O’Connor in PrePLEASE SEE PAVING | 6

39th King’s Manor Founders Day coming July 15 From Staff Reports
A gold rush of entertainment and exciting auction offerings will highlight the 39th annual King’s Manor Founders Day Barbecue. The event is set for 6:30 p.m., Saturday, July 15, at the Hereford Independent School District Administration Building on North 25 Mile Avenue and features a full evening of activities.
“Founders Day benefits benevolent care of King’s Manor residents who may have exhausted their resources, ensuring that they continue to have a home at King’s Manor,” King’s Manor executive director Shelly Moss said. Featured entertainer is renowned country music artist Larry Gatlin, performing hits including “All the Gold in California” and “Broken
Lady,” along with Gospel favorites. Born the son of an oil field driller in 1948 in Seminole, Gatlin is the oldest of the three brothers. At age 7, he was accompanying younger brothers Steve and Rudy in singing at family and church events. After high school, he attended the University of Houston on a football scholarship, rooming with
Steve Hodges of Hereford, a major supporter of King’s Manor. Gatlin became known in Nashville for his songwriting skills. While his brothers finished college, Gatlin toured the small-club and listening-room circuit as a solo act. Joining forces with his siblings, the Gatlin Brothers toured the U.S., Canada and overseas from 1976-92,
recording hits and garnering music awards. Gatlin wrote every Gatlin Brothers hit, as well as songs recorded by Elvis Presley, Glen Campbell, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Charlie Rich, Johnny Mathis, Dottie West and others.

News Software upgrade bid approved for Sheriff's Office
Have news to share? John Carson, Managing Editor, editor@herefordbrand.com
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Following a fortnight to compare “apples to apples,” Deaf Smith County Sheriff J. Dale Butler made his choice on departmentwide computer software upgrades. Butler presented his decision to the June 26 regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court. “We were looking at the bids from Eforce and IDocket,” Butler said. “We determined that they both will do the job, so we looked at the numbers, and the low bid is where we’ll end up.” The county had received four total bids – from Southern Software, Inc.,
Smarttop RFP, IDocket and Eforce – on the software upgrades for Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office (DSCSO) and opened them at the June 12 commissioners court meeting. Butler and other DSCSO personnel exited that meeting to closer peruse the details of each bid before returning – at which time Butler requested tabling acceptance of a bid until DSCSO personnel had more time to compare “apples to apples” concerning the offers from I Docket and Eforce. The bids ranged from $120,000-$182,000 with IDocket and Eforce being the lower of the four. However, scrutiny of the bids during the past two weeks showed IDocket’s
We have been in the Stone Age on this software for a long time. The advances that have been made – and are in the upgrades we’re getting – are leaps and bounds beyond what we have now. J. Dale Butler Deaf Smith County Sheriff
initial low bid of $120,000 was not the lowest in the long run. While Butler noted the bid was accurate, the $120,000 total only included software. I Docket had additional charges of $30,000 for implementation of the software and $36,000 for annual support. Eforce’s initial bid of
$125,112.02 included software and implementation and had $18,766 added for annual support. “Based on all the costs,
Eforce is the lower bid,” Butler said in making his recommendation for court approval. Commissioners unanimously approved accepting the Eforce bid. Partial funding for the software upgrade is coming via a grant DSCSO received from the state, which will cover approximately half of the total costs. The remaining costs will be derived from DSCSO funding sources in its budget. “All costs are covered in our current budget,” Butler
said. “We’re trying our best to stay within budget with all the upgrades. We don’t want to incur most costs for taxpayers. “We have been in the Stone Age on this software for a long time. The advances that have been made – and are in the upgrades we’re getting – are leaps and bounds beyond what we have now.” The software upgrades are designed to streamline, update and improve computer technology and communication throughout DSCSO systems.
Hereford Regional Medical Center would like thank the hospital’s Ladies Auxiliary for the very generous gift of $10,000 for the purchase of a Tono Pen and a new Ultrasound.
Thank you ladies for supporting our vision!

If approved by the Deaf Smith County Appraisal District Board of Directors at the public hearing, the proposed budget will take effect automatically unless disapproved by the governing bodies of the county, school districts, and city served by the Appraisal District. A copy of the proposed budget is available for public inspection in the office of each of these governing bodies. A copy is also available for public inspection at the appraisal district office.
There has never been a time when God has not given mankind commands. But throughout our recorded Bible history, we can see many times when man would follow God for a time, and then fall away….and return to God, and fall away again… and return to God, and fall away again. You can get a word picture of this if you read Psalms 78 and Acts Chapter 7. It seems to me that many people think that God created us so that He could be sure to satisfy our every want. In other words “God do this for me, God do that for me”. But I believe Solomon summed it up best in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep his commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil”. We were put on earth to worship and revere God, not the other way around! Satan is the enemy of God. He is real, and we read this warning “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I Peter 5:8 His temptations are powerful, but the bible also tells us that we can resist Satan – he is not more powerful than God. II Peter 3:9 tells us “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”. But God does give us free will to keep his commandments….or to follow Satan. It is a choice we all make. This message is brought to you by members of the Church of Christ. Our building is located on the corner of Sunset & Plains. We meet at 10:30 Sunday mornings. Call us at 344-7147 or 344-4070 to inquire about a Bible study.

cinct 2 and Dale Artho in Precinct 4 – each list 3-3.5 miles of roads in the most need of paving in their respective jurisdictions. Admitting they could not designate their full allotment without additional scrutiny, each commissioner listed the most in-need projects within their precincts. Kahlich immediately named a roughly 1-mile stretch of South Kingwood from Harrison to the fire training site because of the volume of traffic that travels the road. O’Connor noted that a 1.25-mile portion of Walnut Road that “needs to be done first,” while Artho proposed the longest of the immediate needs. He presented approximately 2 miles of County Road 26 East from the cutoff with FM 809 to the Potter County line. Citing heavy truck traffic on the road, Artho also said the improvements would match those being done on the same road to the county line by Potter County. “Still, we’ve already lost 30 days of the [paving] season,” he said. “Do we have time to get these done this year?” O’Connor noted that the county has received paving materials from the Texas Department of Transportation that could lower the overall costs and potentially allow for additional mileage to be added to this year’s projects. Although not involved in the specific process, Precinct 3 Commissioner Mike Brumley received confirmation from Wagner that disaster relief funds received from FEMA could be used to offset some paving expenses. Wagner requested Kahlich, O’Connor and Artho present the remainder of their paving lists within the 3-3.5-mile limit at the next court meeting, which is slated for 9 a.m., Monday at Deaf Smith County Courthouse.

Ladies Auxiliary continues aid to hospital
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
For 40 years, women in pink smocks have become a common sight around Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC). They are seen pushing carts of magazines, newspapers and snacks through the corridors and are ever present in the hospital’s gift shop. “Pink ladies” they are called in some communities, but regardless of the moniker, they are always members of the hospital’s Ladies Auxiliary. While most of the dealing patients or family members have with them is through those efforts already noted, they serve a much greater purpose to HRMC. In addition to providing staff for the gift shop, the HRMC Ladies Auxiliary has played a vital part in the hospital throughout the years by making financial donations which allow the facility to purchase medical equipment. That tradition was renewed Thursday when the HRMC Ladies Auxiliary presented Deaf Smith County Hospital District CEO Jeff Barnhart and HRMC Chief of Nursing Candice Smith with a check for $10,000. “We’re here because we want to give back to the
The Hereford Regional Medical Center Ladies Auxiliary makes a $10,000 donation to the hospital to purchase medical equipment. Taking part in Thursday’s check presentation are, front from left, HRMC Chief of Nursing Candice Smith, Elizabeth Vogel, Mary Lewis, Terrye Rhyne, Ann Cummings; middle from left, Kathryn Musser, Leona Schilling, Madelin Rosson, Francis Kerr; back from left, DSCHD CEO Jeff Barnhart, Theda Seiver, Rita Bell, Cindy Rogers, Helen Noyes, Norma Walden and Bettie Dickson. BRAND/John Carson community,” Ladies Auxiliary president Ann Cummings said. “[The donation] is a good way to do that.” Virtually an annual ritual, the auxiliary donation is derived from funds collected during a quartet of fundraisers the auxiliary hosts each year, as well
Kids Corner
as proceeds from the gift shop. In addition to four annual $500 scholarships the auxiliary awards to Hereford High School seniors, the donations have provided funding for a plethora of equipment, which the hospital has requested from
the auxiliary, according to Cummings. “The donations give us the ability to bring in more equipment,” Barnhart said. “We could budget for it, but it is nice to have the donation offset some equipment purchases so we can use budgeted funds
for other needs.” The $10,000 donation made Thursday is earmarked for the purchase of a Tono pen, which is used to measure pressure within the eye, and an ultra-sound machine. Both are items HRMC needed and will be put into use to further its overall goal. “Having these pieces of equipment allows use to keep patients here rather than sending them to Amarillo,” Smith said, adding that until now all needs to measure eye pressure at HRMC had to be transferred outside Hereford. While Barnhart wholeheartedly agreed, he was quick to add that the auxiliary plays a role within HRMC that goes even further beyond making donations for equipment and manning the gift shop. “The Ladies Auxiliary is part of our team,” he said. “They are able to reach some social circles in the community that I cannot reach. They are truly ambassadors for the hospital and another smiling face for our patients and guests. “There is no doubt we need our partners in Amarillo and Lubbock, but [the auxiliary donations] allow us to further our goal to keep as much health care as possible local.”

Left and right, headlining the 39th annual King’s Manor Founder’s Day Barbecue on July 15 at Hereford Independent School District Administration Building will be country music legend Larry Gatlin. Contributed photos
Below, among the highlights of the annual King's Manor Founder’s Day auction is a trip for four to Waco that includes a behind-the-scenes tour of Magnolia Market at the Silos. Contributed photo
FOUNDER'S: FROM PAGE 1
in 1992, the group released a CD of the same name. Gatlin then took the lead role on Broadway in the Tony Awardwinning musical “The Will Rogers Follies” and toured the nation to rave reviews. He went on to write an autobiography, “All The Gold In California,” record a solo album, “In My Life,” and occasionally toured solo. The brothers reunited in the early 2000s for select tour dates and, in 2008, recorded their first album in nearly two decades, “Pilgrimage.” In 2015, the brothers celebrated 60 years of making music together and released a new album, “The Gospel According to Gatlin.” In addition to entertainment, a feature for the Founder’s Day event is a live auction. Auction items will include a road trip, and flying and floating adventures. The road trip package is a Magnolia Experience excursion for
four that includes a behind-thescenes tour of Magnolia Market at the Silos in Waco, shopping, two nights at a country bed-andbreakfast and gas card for the trip. Available trip dates are July 25 or Aug. 9.
Also up for bids is a helicopter feral hog hunt for two with Cedar Ridge Aviation of Knox City. The adventure includes a steak dinner upon arrival and overnight stay at a lodge, two-hour hunting flight with firearms and ammunition
furnished and rancher’s breakfast after the hunt. Another outdoor-oriented auction offering provides a guided float trip for fly fishing for two on the Gunnison River with Dragonfly Anglers of Crested Butte,
Colo. The package includes all necessary instruction, gear and lunch on the river, along with a $500 gift card to cover accommodations for two nights. A traditional auction favorite back again is a backyard steak dinner for eight couples prepared and served by Steve and Sharon Hodges at their Hereford residence. Other auction items include a WTAMU sports experience package, custom-made sandbox from Scott and Missy Wilcox, pair of vintage pedal toys including a John Deere tractor and red fire truck, a chain saw, diamond necklace, Swiss watch and horseshoe art from Ted Ray and Janet Coleman. “We invite you to come enjoy a great meal, the fun of the auction, and a marvelous evening of entertainment, all at a bargain price – and all to help longtime residents of King’s Manor,” Moss said. Tickets, priced at $35 each, are available, along with sponsorships for reserved seating, by calling King’s Manor at 806-3640661. The ticket price includes a barbecued brisket meal, auction and entertainment.

‘Friends of Jane’ drive underway to aid Hereford Food Pantry From Contributed Sources
A “Friends of Jane” food drive conducted by First United Methodist Church (FUMC) to collect food and funds on behalf of the Hereford Food Pantry in memory of the late Jane Eggen is underway and continues through the month of July. Food collection boxes are available in the Welcome Cen-
ter of FUMC at 5th and Main. All contributions may be dropped off at the Welcome Center of FUMC during church office hours Monday through Friday, or Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m to noon. Checks may be made payable to FUMC with a notation “food drive,” or to the Hereford Food Pantry. Among food items needed are jelly, sugar, flour, boxed
macaroni and cheese, pasta, rice, cereal, and cooking oil. Other dry food items are also welcome. “Jane Eggen came to FUMC Hereford about a year ago after being a long-time member and leader in Wesley UMC in Hereford. She quickly became an active member of FUMC Hereford and made friends with everyone she met. Jane’s sudden death in
May was a shock to all who knew her. Jane’s friends mourn the loss of her radiant personality and her servant’s heart. Jane lived her faith, so to know her was an opportunity to see a glimpse of Jesus working in her life to serve others,” said John Perrin, a leader of the Sunday School class meeting in Ward Parlor at FUMC. “To honor the memory and
spirit of Jane Eggen, her Sunday school class and ‘Friends of Jane’ are conducting this food drive to benefit the Hereford Food Pantry, where she served as a loyal volunteer and leader for many years. Please remember Jane by bringing your contribution, large or small, and experience the spirit of generosity and service that was so evident in her.”

Hot fun in the summertime
The pool at Josserand Aquatic Park offers a variety of ways for those of all ages to find relief from the 90-plus degree days of July in Hereford as, top middle, Mary Gallegos and, top right, 2-year-old Nathanial Garcia discover. While the pool provides plenty for the youngest bathers and their parents to do, older youngsters are not left out with, right, a trio scoped into an aquatic game of keepaway. One of the major attractions for a wide range of children is the park’s water slide, Above, Jonathan Gonzalez, 6, hits the pool at the slide’s end, while, left, 10-year-old Iliana Gonzalez prepares to make her entry. Below, Diego Ortiz, 8, cools off with a face full of water when he hits the bottom of the slide. Bottom, 9-year-old Darlene Meddes is all smiles about being where it is cool and wet on a hot summer BRAND/John Carson day.
