There are as many as three separate violations of law possible, that could range from misdemeanors to felonies, as investigation into alleged illegal dumping in Deaf Smith County continues.

A three-prong probe – spearheaded by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) – into reports of illegal dumping by Lone Star Calf Ranch is nearing the end of its third month with investigators honing in on specific violations and individuals.

Responding to complaints from local residents, TCEQ opened its investigation into the alleged illegal dumping in mid-April.

As information was revealed, the Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office and Deaf Smith County District Attorney’s office joined the probe.

Of interest to DA Jim English was the possible violation of state Health and Safety Code statutes.

“If someone transports or disposes solid waste in an uncertified site, it is illegal dumping and a violation of law,” English said.

The specific statute – Health and Safety Code 365.012 – states “a person commits an offense” if they “dispose, receive” or “transport litter or other solid waste” to an unapproved waste site.

According to reports, Lone Star has allegedly

Makeover begins in earnest at school

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

If teachers, students or parents who roamed the halls of Tierra Blanca Elementary School (TBES) this past school year went in there now, they would not recognize it.

From the façade over the entry to the reception area to virtually all of the structure’s interior, it was clear changes were taking place at the school.

In fact, it has taken barely a fortnight for crews to turn TBES’s interior from that of a viable, functioning school to looking like something caught in the middle of urban warfare.

Closed at the end of the school year, TBES is the centerpiece of a $4.763 million project to renovate it into Hereford Independent School District’s (HISD)

Students, teachers and parents would not recognize Tierra Blanca Elementary after renovation demolition has the interior looking more like an urban war zone than a school.

Bond discussion set for called meeting Monday

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

What started as a called meeting specifically as a “budget workshop” in preparation for adopting a 2018-19 spending plan has turned into much more for Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees.

Trustees agreed upon a July 16 called meeting for a budget workshop during its June 18 meeting, which had been moved from June 25.

With HISD needing a 2018-19 budget in place by Aug. 31, it was initially believed the only topic for the called meeting would be a budget preview.

That all changed when the meeting’s agenda was released Thursday.

Among the items now up for discussion is a possible bond election for November.

Although the subject of a November bond has been broached on several occasions this year, trustees have had no PLEASE SEE BOND | 6

Monday, July 2, 2018.

Jessie Ann was born Dec. 1, 1928 to Scotty and Jenny (Carter) Buckner. She graduated from Hereford High School in 1946, where she was the drum majorette for the band and valedictorian. She married W. C. “Bill” Davis.

As a lifelong resident of Hereford, she had a great love for the area – the flat plains, the big skies, the wonderful starry nights and even viewing as a child the big dust storms that rolled in. She served the community in various ways – as a kindergarten teacher for Hispanic children and as a secretary at Aikman Elementary School. She

attended West Texas State University and graduated from there in 1983. After retiring, she volunteered at the local library, local schools and WTAMU Alumni Association.

Jessie Ann was preceded in death by her parents; siblings Irene Salser, Barbara Ford, Joe Edgar Buckner, Nan Richeson; and husband Bill Davis.

She is survived by her daughters Sidnye

Johnson of Canyon, Laurel Larson of Bayfield, Colo., and Gwen Davis of Kerrville; five grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren.

The family suggests that any memorials be given to King's Manor Methodist Retirement Center, 400 Ranger Drive, Hereford, TX, 79045.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS If you ask someone about eternity, you might hear the phrase “I want to go to heaven”....or some may say “I hope I go to heaven”. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone say “I want to go to hell”, but If someone does say “I expect to go to hell”, I have to believe that they do not really believe that hell will be as bad as how the bible describes it.

The good news is that man does not have to devise a plan of how he can go to heaven...God left nothing to chance...He has provided everything we need to enable us to have the possibility of salvation !!!

(1) He sent his Son to die for our sins. This is God’s grace. John 1:17, John 3:16, Romans 5:6-8, 15.

(2) He taught us that we have access into this grace through faith Romans 5:2 (3) He taught us that faith comes from hearing God’s word Romans 10:17 (4) In James 2:14-22, He teaches us that faith alone will not save us.

Faith without works is dead.

(5) In Hebrews 5:9, He teaches us that Christ became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. (6) In Mark 16:16, Christ said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned”.

(7) In Galatians 3:27, He teaches us “for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ”. In verse 29, “and if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”.

(8) He warns us about not being in Christ. “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life,· he who does not have the Son of God does not have life”. I John 5:11-12 (9) He warns us about believing in Christ, but refusing to confess him. “Nevertheless even among the rulers, many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess HIM, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God”. John 12:42-43 This does not exhaust all that God teaches us, there is so much more. This is why we offer a bible study for individuals or small groups. CALL OR TEXT one of the numbers below to arrange a time to meet. If you don’t have a bible, we will give you one.

HISD photos by Bryan Hedrick Before demolition could commence, asbestos has to be removed from the building – that began June 18.

Work had progressed on the abatement that HISD’s construction manager at-risk (CMAR) for the project, Southwest General Contractors of Amarillo, was able to begin interior demolition in cleared areas as abatement continued in others.

Since starting demolition the first week of July, Steve Duncan, who is overseeing the project for Southwest, things are progressing as they should.

“Now, we’re right in the middle of demolition,” Duncan said.

“We’re right where we need to be on our schedule.”

Given the pace at which has progressed, Duncan expects demolition to be completed

within the first two weeks of August.

Yet, just because the old walls are down, it does not mean the new ones will immediately go up.

Before reconstruction begins, Duncan said underground water and sewer work will be done in the main structure.

At the same time, work will begin on installing heating and air conditioning wiring and ducts, as well as other wiring, in the area’s ceiling.

The idea, Duncan said, is to the get the subfloor and ceiling done, then fill in the middle with the new classrooms.

Southwest was selected by the HISD Board of Trustees as CMAR because of past experiences, and because of that, now-retired HISD facilities director Terry Russell is serving as liaison between the district and CMAR. “Once Southwest took over the project, we passed the torch,” Mendez said.

The renovation also eases two of HISD’s most-pressing facility

issues in that it meets recommendations of a 2005 independent Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) facilities study that called for the immediate “renovation or closing” of TBES. When Tierra Blanca reopens for the 201920 school year, HISD’s oldest facility Stanton Learning Center – and another tabbed for immediate “renovation or closing” by the TASB study – will be closed as an active HISD campus.

been dumping manure at an unauthorized site for some time.

TCEQ investigator Erica Olson said the suspected illegal activity could have begun as early as 2013 before increasing in 2015 and continuing through mid-April.

Photographic evidences of the site shows large quantities of dumped manure.

Exacerbating the situation for potential violators is the alleged dumping took place in a more legally protected playa basin.

“Just dumping on someone’s land is one thing,” English said. “This was done in a playa area.”

As three violations of law are at stake, so is the severity of any potential crimes committed.

State code has all three offenses ranging from lowlevel misdemeanors to felonies.

The tipping point for each level is the weight of the product that was dumped.

According to law, any il-

legal dumping of less than 1,000 pounds is a misdemeanor, while dumping of more than 1,000 pounds constitutes a felony.

Based on photos of the alleged dump site, more than 1,000 pounds was present.

For English, the illegal dumping investigation is the first of this kind in which he can recall taking part.

While the mechanics of an investigation do not change, he did admit this was a different subject matter that required “changes in the nature of legalities.”

Did you know that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 25 million Americans, including roughly seven million children, have asthma?

It’s true, and those numbers have steadily risen in recent years.

Asthma is more than occasional wheezing or feeling out of breath during physical activity.

Asthma is chronic and can lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, fast breathing, and chest tightness, states the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In the 21st century, people spend significant time indoors at home, school or work, and indoor air environments could be triggers for asthma. Improving indoor air quality can help people breathe clearly.

The AAFA notes that the following agents can adversely affect indoor air quality, potentially triggering asthma attacks.

Allergens Allergens such as mold, dust mites, pet dander and fur, and waste from insects or rodents thrive in many homes. Ensuring indoor air quality is high can cut back on the amount of allergens in the air. People with asthma can invest in an air purifier and vacuum regularly, being sure to use a HEPA-equipped appliance. Routinely replacing HVAC system filters can help prevent allergens from blowing around the house. Also, frequent maintenance of HVAC systems will ensure they are operating safely and not contributing to poor indoor air quality.

Mold can be mitigated by reducing moisture in a home. Moist environments in the kitchen and bathroom may promote mold

growth. Ventilation is key to keep mold at bay.

Tobacco smoke Thirdhand smoke, or THS, may be unfamiliar to many people. A 2011 report published in Environmental Health Perspectives says THS is an invisible combination of gases and particles that can cling to clothing, cushions, carpeting, and other materials long after secondhand smoke has cleared from a room.

Studies have indicated that residual nicotine levels can be found in house dust where people smoke or once smoked.

Studies have indicated that smoke compounds can adsorb onto surfaces and then desorb back into air over time.

Keeping tobacco smoke out of a home can improve indoor air quality and personal health.

VOCs Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases released from commonly used products. These can include paints and varnishes, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, new furniture, and new carpet. People with asthma may find that VOCs can trigger attacks. Airing out items, reducing usage of products that are heavily scented and choosing low- or no-VOC products can help. Making cleaning products from baking soda, vinegar and liquid oil soap also can keep indoor air quality high.

Homeowners who plan to renovate their homes can consider using the appropriate specifications for HVAC systems to promote good indoor air, as well as address any other potential problems that may be compromising indoor air quality.

HISD counselor among Texas OnCourse Leader Fellows From Contributed Sources

AUSTIN – Texas OnCourse, an initiative empowering all Texas students to succeed after high school, announced the selection of 21 counselors and advisers from across the state to a two-year Leader Fellowship.

Among those announced was Hereford Independent School District’s Kyla Kenworthy, lead counselor at Hereford High School.

The Texas OnCourse Fellows, representing all 20 education regions throughout Texas, are recognized as leaders in the college and career advising field.

Leader Fellows boost state efforts toward college and career success by connecting educators, parents

and students to Texas OnCourse resources, supporting professional growth and learning, and improving state tools for college and career preparedness.

“The individuals selected as Leader Fellows are some of the most committed and passionate counselors and advisers in the state,” said Texas OnCourse director Laura Brenna said. “They change the lives of their students every day.

“Now, as Texas OnCourse Leader Fellows, they will help transform college and career planning in Texas.”

The 2018 TXOC Leader Fellows are: Amy Fountain, Kirbyville CISD; Angela Verner, Midland ISD; Ashlie McKenzie, New Caney ISD; Brandi Williams, Calhoun County

ISD; Charlotte Ward, Lubbock ISD; Christi Barrera,

San Felipe Del Rio CISD; Cynthia Iris Gonzalez, Mission CISD; Dannette Young, Comal ISD; Doni Watson, Liberty Eylau ISD; Elizabeth Acosta, El Paso ISD; Jennifer Ritter, Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD; Jennifer Pugh, Round Rock ISD; Kyla Kenworthy, Hereford ISD; Leah Erickson, Gilmer ISD;Lynn Hartnett, Corpus Christi ISD; Marissa Diaz, Keller ISD; Mia Bradford, Houston ISD; Mindy Broadfoot, Clyde CISD; Misty Thomas, Beaumont ISD; Patti Morton

Gibbs, Nocona ISD; and Salvador Acosta, La Vega ISD The new Texas OnCourse Leader Fellows join an additional 26 Fellows who started their work in 2017.

This group of 47 of the top counselors and advisers from across the state serve as virtual and in-person resources for educators who advise students on postsecondary planning.

Leader Fellows support the work of Texas OnCourse, a UT Austin-led initiative working to ensure all high school graduates, no matter where they come from or where they’re headed, have a plan for what’s next.

Since it started in 2015, Texas OnCourse has emerged as one of the state’s top resources for

college and career planning. Texas OnCourse is developed in partnership with other institutions of higher education, the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).

Texas OnCourse’s free, interactive resources empower students to make informed postsecondary decisions and contribute to a better economic future for the state. These resources are designed to help schools and districts meet the requirements of Texas HB 5, which revised state graduation requirements in 2013.

Texas OnCourse is free to the public and can be found online at texasoncourse.org.

BOND: FROM PAGE 1

Unsung heroes touted During the 10 months of the school year, the beginning of each HISD Board of Trustees meeting features recognition of one of the district’s campuses. Most often these recognitions center around students and what they are involved in and what they have achieved. Occasionally, teachers find themselves in that recognition spotlight.

With Stanton Learning Center on tap for the June 18 meeting, principal Brenda Bice, right, lauded the efforts of two of the school’s hardest-working and most-overlooked employees – secretary Minerva Rodriguez, left, and receptionist Valerie Lopez, center.

formal discussions concerning it.

HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship has informed the board there was a possibility the district would seek to float another bond issue this year.

Fueling officials’ reticence on the matter is the overwhelming failure of HISD bond issues in 2015 and 2017.

“While the voters have made it clear how they feel, it doesn’t solve the fact that our needs did not go away,” Blankenship said.

The funding from both bond issues – $42.6 million in 2015 and $45 million in 2017 – was to be used to ease HISD’s heightening facility problems.

Many local and state officials agree the continued disintegration of HISD’s aging facilities has been exacerbated by the community not having passed any school bond since 1972 and none of real significance in half a century.

The fact a bond discussion is on the agenda is not surprising considering trustees are under a deadline to decide whether to attempt a bond measure in November.

For inclusion on the Nov. 6 general election ballot, the state must be officially notified no later than mid-August.

Community Black House gardeners in sore need of green thumbs

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The stunning grounds at the E.B. Black House at 508 West Third are a Hereford showplace, a spectacular setting for weddings, parties, photo sessions, or just a stroll down pathways lovingly maintained in seasonal flowers and vegetation. But the glamor of the gardens doesn’t come easily.—Lots of hard work by a falling-innumber few is required. In fact, one might say the effort is being shouldered solely by the “Three Gardeneers.”

What a difference a little help could make. “Neighboring” is commonplace on ranches and farms in the local area, but the trio of dedicated volunteers from the Deaf Smith County Historical Society who tend the Black House gardens find themselves hard-up for neighbors.

Despite numerous pleas for help, the aid of willing hands has unfortunately not been forthcoming.

“We’re down to just three volunteers who tend the gardens at the E.B. Black House.

Some have aged out of working here. Some have health difficulties that prevent their participation. Some have passed away, others have moved away,” commented Betty Kriegshauser as she snicked away with pruning shears in the shade on the west side of the heirloom home on a recent morning.

“Eileen Alley, Cheryl Betzen and I are the sole members of the Deaf Smith County Historical Society board working the gardens now.

We have a hard time keeping up. There’s so much to do to keep the grounds beautiful. As some plants bloom and decline, others come on.

We react to the progression of the growing season, trimming, setting new plants, weeding, planting and fertilizing. The juniper hedges on the north side have grown so rank they overhang the neighbor’s yard and are in dire need of attention. Pruning those is chainsaw work that we can’t do. Some of

Betty Kriegshauser is one of three gardeners shouldering the work at the historic E.B. Black House gardens. Photo by Jim Steiert the wood in the gazebo is rotting and needs replacing.

We could use a lot of volunteer help,” Mrs. Kriegshauser said.

Cheryl Betzen, a volunteer gardener at the Black House for 25 years, recalls when ten or more ladies gathered regularly on Tuesday mornings to tend this little Eden acre.

Mrs. Betzen maintains the bushes at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in addition to volunteering at the Black House. She says her participation at the garden has always been about enjoyment of fostering flowers and fellowship.

“It’s more work now with fewer folks. Through the years we’ve had certified Texas Master Gardeners who worked with us here, and many volunteers have shared knowledge and gardening skills. Betty Kriegshauser has taken on a lot more now, and works far more often than

every Tuesday,” said Mrs. Betzen.

Eileen Alley has gardened at the Black House for seven years, lured there by the invitation of friends. No stranger to gardening, she has tended the flower beds at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church for 15 years.

“My joy in this is looking at the beautiful flowers at the Black House. We feel this is a community project, and we need the help of others besides just the museum board. Everyone who enjoys the gardens at the Black House and utilizes its scenic setting for weddings, photography, baby showers and other gatherings, and local civic clubs are more than welcome to help,” she said.

Individuals or organizations wishing to lend a hand with gardening at the E.B. Black House should contact the Deaf Smith County Museum at 363-7070.
