Either Hereford Independent $22.4 School District (HISD) officials are putting into practice the essence of their profession – learning lessons and applying the knowledge – or dispelling the adage “those who do not know learn from history are doomed to repeat it” when it comes to a new bond proposal. BLANKENSHIP HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship presented a must
million bond proposal to the board of trustees during a called meeting Monday. Although no action on the proposal was expected or taken, officials are looking to have the measure on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election. To meet state deadlines for inclusion on the November ballot, trustees officially call for a bond

The evening will get underway with the traditional barbecue beef dinner at 6:30, followed by an auction featuring offerings ranging from adventures to artwork that should appeal to a wide age range. Tickets, priced at $35 each, can be purchased at the offices of King’s Manor at 400 Ranger Drive in Hereford or by calling 364-0661. All proceeds from the event go the King’s Manor Benevolent Fund that assists residents who have exhausted their resources. “This year’s Founders Day marks an important 40th year milestone. We are providing our audience with an exceptional entertainment experience to mark the occasion. We have been hoping to line up an excellent Eagles tribute band for the past several years, and we were able do so this year,” said Shelly Moss, retiring executive director at King’s Manor who is sharing her valuable experience in staging the event to ensure that this year’s fund raiser is a success.

To his defense, Bell did just run 20 yards, throw a ball over a 12-foot high net, run to the other side and try to catch it – all immediately following his equilibrium getting scrambled by 10 turns around a baseball bat with one end on the ground and his forehead on the other.

However, unlike its eventually doomed predecessor, the proposal is much more specific in noting where bond funds would be distributed. Of the six campuses on the safety-

net Elementary could see $3.5 million worth of upgrades. Aikman Elementary and Hereford High School (HHS) are the final two campuses on the list with projected costs of $1.96 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The biggest reason for the discrepancy in costs is the extent of safety and security work that is needed. For West Central, as HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship explained, less is needed because the school was renovated in 2007. Meanwhile, situations at other campuses – most notably HJH – will have entrances completely redesigned to increase security. However, officials have learned one stark fact. “Safety and security is more than just locks on the doors and cameras on the wall,” Blankenship said. “Sometimes there are safety and security concerns structurally that cannot be seen.” She proceeded to give trustees photographic evidence from three campuses of structural issues needing attention. Blankenship and HISD architect Lenora Ask toured the schools and found cracks in foundations and walls at Bluebonnet and HPA, as well as safety and security issues with some of the design at Northwest. One photo from Bluebonnet showed a large hole in the upper part of a wall where cracked metal beams are visible and a cement block has reportedly fallen onto the floor. The situation at Northwest is not failing structure, but parts of the structure. While esoteric when conceived and designed in the 20th century, walls in the school with a row of windows across the top presents a modern-day safety hazards. Northwest also faces an emergency dilemma if a lockdown should be needed. The lockdown could occur. Getting unlocked could be a different story because all of classroom doors require dif-

In addition to structural repairs at HPA, work at HJH will include new bleachers for the varsity gym and double gym, as well as renovation of varsity locker rooms. The fieldhouse project is identical to that in the 2017 bond, which calls for rebuilding the facility to include adequate dressing room space, as well as an instruction area
for trainers. Also in that component would be upgrades to the restrooms and concession stands at Whiteface Stadium along with the addition of lights and restrooms to the baseball field, softball field and tennis courts. Of the $5.7 million in the bond, $4.06 million would cover the fieldhouse with $1 million going to Whiteface Stadium upgrades and the other projects.

Tip of the Day Build a trendy school wardrobe for less
The dawn of a new school year requires restocking school supplies. But for some kids, the most important part of returning to school is making sure they look good walking through the door on the first day of school - and each day thereafter. The National Retail Federation says the average family with school-aged kids expects to spend $630 this year on school supplies. A large percentage of that money will be spent on clothing. Naturally, parents want their children to have clothing they’ll love and feel comfortable wearing, but do not want to break the bank buying wardrobes for their youngsters. But parents can employ various strategies to ensure kids look good without Mom and Dad going broke. · Invest in few essential clothing items. Ask children what they are most interested in buying. One or two trendy shirts or an expensive pair of sneakers can be paired with seasonal pieces. The result is a trendy, affordable look. · Shop discount retailers. Stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls offer many brand-name items at a discount over department store prices. While these stores customarily stock items that may be a season or two out of date, they can help budget-conscious families nab some key clothing items at affordable prices.
The Long Run – Experience the Eagles is the featured entertainment for the 40th King’s Manor Founders Day barbecue and auction. TLR’s concert highlights the event set for Saturday, July 21. Contributed photo
· See if replicas will fit the bill. Girls may be enamored with an oversized hair accessory dubbed the JoJo Bow, an accessory popularized by celebrity Joelle Joni “JoJo” Siwa. They’re big and colorful, but the name-brand, authentic hair bows may be beyond some parents’ bud-
gets. However, there are plenty of bows that can achieve the same look at a fraction of the cost of the JoJo Bow. Parents also may find more affordable alternatives to other trendy items. · Choose a size larger. Children grow very fast, so it may be well worth the investment to purchase trendy items one size larger so kids can get more use out of the item. However, this likely won’t be possible with footwear. · Share clothes. Savvy bargain-hunters can swap gently worn shoes or clothing with other families when kids outgrow items. · Spread out purchases. To make purchasing easier on the wallet, grab items here and there throughout the year and put them toward school wardrobe essentials, rather than cramming in shopping right before the school year begins. This approach also helps families shop sales and maintain a variety of pieces that make it easier to transitions kids’ wardrobes throughout the year. School clothes can make up a large chunk of back-to-school shopping budgets. Smart choices help families save money.

it does not meet the fate of its predecessors, which were each soundly defeated. The combination of follow-up information gathered after the defeat of $42.6 million and $45 million bonds in 2015 and 2017, respectively, has been put to use into something officials believe voters can swallow. “We have been working since 2017 on how to get a bond passed,” Blankenship said. “We looked at the [2005 independent] TASB study and what we learned from the last bond to put this proposal together.” The 2017 bond included four
components – an early childhood education center, multipurpose rooms at each elementary, district-wide upgrades in campus safety and security, and a package that included renovation of the fieldhouse and minor upgrades to Whiteface Stadium. Just as in 2015, when the smoke cleared after election day, voters had been adamant about what they did not like. While renovation on Stanton Learning Center was the hot point in the 2015 bond, similar feelings permeated through in 2017. “The community was clear it did not want a $45 million bond and did not want a pre-K facility on a bond,” Blankenship said. “The community said it could
support the safety and security improvements and fieldhouse project. “Let’s go with that.” Blankenship based her assessment on results from postelection surveys and comments in 2017 and reiterated that the district’s needs to be addressed by a bond do not go away just because a measure is defeated. As an example, she cited the $4.75 million renovation of Tierra Blanca Elementary currently underway that will turn it into the district’s new preK home to start the 2019-20 school year – at which time the 92-year-old Stanton building will be removed as an active HISD campus.

tance, Blankenship said the project addressed the two mostpressing facility needs from the 2005 TASB study – renovation or closure of TBES and Stanton. Officials also found voters did not like bond components without specifics on what money was earmarked for where. To hopefully combat that, the proposal was put together with specific funding designations set up within the plans’ two components that more directly notes where the money is going. In the $22.4 million plan, $16.7 million is earmarked for safety and security – where it is specifically divvied among six campuses – with the remaining $5.7 million for the fieldhouse project.
Blankenship went a step further in using HISD’s past bond history for potential timing of another bond proposal. Despite the fact voters have not passed a HISD bond proposal since $38,000 was approved to resurface the track in 1972, Blankenship noted that all successful HISD bond issues have come with voted on in November elections on even-number years. “We know our needs. We don’t want to waste time,” she said. “We can’t go backwards. We can wallow in this all day, but that won’t get us were we need to be. “We know what we have done. We know what needs to be done. Now, we want to move forward and improve the district.”

7 Second camp ‘much smoother’ on Herd diamond By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
With two seasons at the helm and one overseeing the annual summer camp under his belt, Hereford baseball coach Bryan Moore put that experience to use this week at the Herd Baseball Camp. The camp, designed for incoming third-ninth graders, held its four-day run from 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Thursday at Whiteface Field. “Camp went great this year,” Moore said. “It went
The starting line for competition to end Thursday’s session of Herd Baseball Camp was an obstacle course that featured running, throwing, balance and coordination, as well as a slide on a drenched tarp to beat the heat. BRAND/John Carson

much smoother than last year.” As is now old hat, fundamentals are the foundation of summer athletic camps. While that is not forgotten by Moore and his staff, their main focus at camp falls into a slightly different set of criteria. “No. 1 is we have to keep the kids safe,” Moore said. “With the heat and different playing experiences of kids that we don’t know we, we are extremely careful – especially on Day 1 – to make sure drills don’t put them in danger. “The second thing is the kids have to have fun, and No. 3 is getting them to learn and see our passion for the game. I believe all that was accomplished this year.” Regardless, playing skills are still the focal point of athletic camp – learning them and understanding ways to hone them. With campers running the age gamut from 9-14, there not only come in a vast variety of shapes and sizes, but a myriad of playing abilities. “Camp instructions vary by playing experience,” Moore said. “For our younger and more-inexperience guys, we do a lot of hand-eye coordination drills that baseball players need. “We hope they find some
Stevens team up to capture Lions Club Hereford Open From Staff Reports
Putting up a strong firstround number, the team of Jay and Linda Stevens held off all comers during the final round to win the 2018 Hereford Lions Club Hereford Open. The two-day, 36-hole tournament for two-person teams ran July 14 and 15 at John Pitman Golf Course in Hereford. Posting the lowest round for the entire tournament, the Stevens’ opening-day 60 was barely enough to take a one-shot lead over the tandem of Colby MarshChase Lloyd. Both teams carded a 63 in the final round as Jay and Linda Stevens came away as overall tournament champ with total of 123 (60-63). Marsh-Lloyd finished second at 124 (61-63) with Braden and Tiffi West taking third (126) after backto-back rounds of 63. Sunday rallies highlighted the First Flight race as
the teams of David Maldonado-Jake Adkins (68-64) and Hayden West-Billy Pope (67-65) crawled out of firstround holes to share the crown with 132 totals. Trailing by three strokes entering the final 18, Maldonado-Adkins posted the flight’s lowest final-round score (64) to forge the tie with West-Pope. West and Pope were two shots off the lead after the first round before firing a 65 Sunday. First-round leaders Josh Banks and Cody Demetro could not hang onto a twoshot lead after a first-round 65, and finished in third after a Sunday 68 at 133. Robert de la Cruz and James Salinas snapped a tie for the first-round lead to take the Second Flight by two strokes at 135 (69-66). Among five teams atop the leaderboard after an opening-day 69, de la Cruz and Salinas carded one of three Sunday 66s in the flight to take the title.
Also posting a finalround 66 to finish second was Rocky Bhakta and Rodney McCracken at 137 (7166). The other second-day 66 went to third-place finisher Glen Duque and Josh Flores after they put a 138 total (72-66). The four other firstround leaders all stumbled on the second day with scores of 74, 75 and 76, respectively, while the other exceeded the tournament’s shot limit. Two teams also shared the Third Flight title after posting identical rounds of 74-68 for 142 totals. The duos of A.J.CarrascoAlex Carrasco and Mike Maynard-James Clark came back from two-shot deficits in posting the only qualifying sub-70 rounds in the flight on Sunday. Joseph Hernandez and Kevin Prisk teamed up to take third at 143 after
success and want to advance.” With the younger and lessexperienced players, Moore added that much of the instruction is done with tennis balls so players can learn proper techniques on movements and position without concern over getting hit by a baseball. For the older guys who have been around the diamond before, things are bit more structured. “With our experienced kids, we get very detailed with foot movement, grips on the ball, positioning for ground balls and fly balls, hitting to different parts of the field and what their mindset needs to be to win at the next level,” Moore said. For more-experienced pitchers, camp includes learning how to throw a change-up and working the ball to different parts of the plate. Despite the discrepancy in talent and skill level among the campers, the group was divided up and sessions scheduled to provide skillspecific instruction. Regardless of skill level, each day began the same way. “We started with 45 minutes of warm-ups and throwing drills,” Moore said. “It is drilled into the kids who are about to be high schoolers
how important those 45 minutes are to becoming a better play and having a better team.”
Following the warm-up, campers were divvied into PLEASE SEE CAMP | 10

skill-equitable groups to go through a quartet drill stations – outfield play, infield play, hitting, and throwing and catching from different positions. After going through the daily stations, each camp session would end with various level competitions. Faced with triple-digit temperatures during the week of camp, Moore’s competition to end Thursday’s session – and subsequently camp – was a four-team competi-
tion that included dizzying spin around the butt of bat handle, throwing a ball over a net and catching it on the other side, as well as hitting two targets after running between the width of the field a couple of times. At least the competition beat the heat as campers did the belly-flop slide over a tarp being sprayed with water by an assistant coach. Since taking the reins of the program in 2017, Moore has made a marked and noticeable impact on the mindset and attitude of the diamond Whitefaces during the past two seasons.
While still waiting for nearly 180-degree turn to translate into Ws on the field, Moore could see its effect at camp. “The biggest difference this year from last year’s camp is I believe everyone left with something to improve on this year,” he said. “We made user each individual kid got something out of it. We did a pretty solid job last year, but I feel like this year was better. “Between seeing the smiles on their faces and listening to them say they were going to miss camp, that let me know we accomplished what we wanted to do.”

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.
