Although Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna is expecting some “pushback” over plans for a new $6.7 million civic/ community center, experts reported the reality is time had come for those plans to move forward. A design and floorplan for a new center on West 15th Street were unveiled during Monday’s regular meeting of the Hereford City Commission. Senior Associate Greg Billman of Parkhill Smith & Cooper, an architectural firm in Lubbock, presented an artist’s rendering of the proposed 24,800-square foot facility, as well as other details, to commissioners. In addition to designs, Billman came armed with an assessment of the current city community center on East Park Avenue, which showed 60-yearold Hereford Community Center had effectively reached the end of the line. “There are space constraints, and circulation [for people] is a problem,” he said. “The lighting is not good. The restrooms are not good, and accessibility is a real problem. “Basically, the building is falling apart. Repairs would be throwing good money after bad.” Billman toured and inspected the building in May with community center director Erin Hubbard. His findings – along with observations on the facility by city maintenance personnel – were presented to commissioners Monday.

The nagging feeling that something is missing as one travels down West First Street in Hereford is not an anomaly. There is a hole in the landscape around Marn Tyler Realty after the removal of the windmill, right, that had been next to the building for a number of years. Tyler has donated the windmill – reported to be one of the oldest in the county – to Deaf Smith County as a historical artifact, and it was recently removed for transfer to a new home on the lawn of Deaf Smith County Courthouse – where it will join the windmill at Deaf Smith County Museum, left, as a reminder of an important part of county history. In the meantime, above, county workers have been reinforcing the Tyler windmill's structure and giving it a new coat of paint in Deaf Smith County Bull Barn. BRAND/John Carson

On the surface, a finger of blame could easily be pointed at Hereford Wind, however, HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram was quick to point out the crux of the problem does not rest on the shoulders of the school district or wind entity.

Nazarene Family Church of Hereford will literally put into practice what it preaches with its first #ServeHereford event next week. Set for Wednesday-Saturday, the four days feature outreach
throughout Hereford that is highlighted by a number of community service projects. “We believe service should be a lifestyle,” Nazarene Family Church pastor Ted Taylor said. “We don’t want it to be a one-time thing, but we did think it needed a special week.
“We have groups who go elsewhere to do service, so we also wanted to do something in our own community.” The “intense week of service projects” will include an array of endeavors for the community as a whole and individuals. Church groups will do painting
and clean-up at parks to assist city efforts, while also reaching out to inmates at Deaf Smith County Jail. Nursing homes will be a prime target as groups are scheduled to make several visits to residents, as well as hosting a nail-painting PLEASE SEE CHURCH | 6

“It isn’t the wind farm’s fault or our fault,” Ingram said. “The state funding system created the problem. This is complicated stuff. There are lots of variables involved – state formulas, attendance. Because of the situation, we’re short $2.5 million of funding the budget. “The problem is [Hereford Wind] figured the payment under the ASATAR formula with the state kicking in more money to us. That figure is $1.5 million for 2016-17 when it is actually $2.5 million.” The linchpin is a one-year anomaly in county property values that are used by the state comptroller’s office to figure state school funding. With the wind property actually valued at roughly $250 million, the tax abatement agreement caps that at $30 million. Ingram said values used by the comptroller’s office run a
It isn’t the wind farm’s fault or our fault. The state funding system created the problem... Because of the situation, we’re short $2.5 million of funding the budget... It is a blip in the way the state looks at values that has created this. Rusty Ingram HISD Business Manager year behind what actual values are. Subsequently, the full $250 million of valuation – for which HISD received full tax income from for 2015-16 – was used for 2016-17 by the comptroller’s office. That bump in value removed HISD from the state ASATAR funding formula and into regular funding procedures, which resulted in a decrease in the state’s funding to the local district. “In the eyes of the state, we became a wealthy school district even though we did not
receive tax income from $250 million for 2016-17, but only $30 million,” Ingram said. “It is a blip in the way the state looks at values that has created this.” That “blip” disappears after this year, he said, when the $250 million value becomes the abated $30 million value in the comptroller’s office. “This should hopefully be just a one-time deal,” Ingram said. “That is not a guarantee, but once we get past this year, we should have no problem.” Ingram added this is the only problem HISD has had in terms of funding agreements with the

wind entity with all taxes owed having been promptly paid, as well as an additional payment of $100 for every student in HISD’s average daily attendance (ADA) figure. That ADA payment amounts to approximately $380,000 per year, Ingram said. “I understand why they are questioning this,” he said. “I also understand that if there was no wind farm, we would have had more money from the state. It’s money that we need. “It is money that has been budgeted for, and now that we’re not getting it, it will hurt
us.” Ingram confirmed that the loss of state funding and Hereford Wind’s challenging the payment figures is the main reason HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship told the board of trustees in June the 2016-17 budget is likely to run in the red when the fiscal year ends Aug. 31. Both sides have been working on alleviating the problem with attorneys having met within the past week for further discusses. Ingram is confident the situation can be satisfactorily resolved. “They are working with us, and we are working with them,” he said. “We hope to bring this to a satisfactory conclusion soon. It all has to do with money. “Hopefully, we can get this resolved before the end of the 2016-17 fiscal year. I am optimistic. There are a lot negotiations going on. I really don’t think they are trying to stick us.”
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Will there be an end of time when all will appear before God to be judged? Scripture says yes. Hebrews 9:27 “And it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement.” II Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done whether good or bad”. Can any man accurately predict when the end of time will be? Christ answers this in Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only”. When Christ appears at the end of time, how quickly will things happen? Will he take some and leave some? Will we have time to get right with God then? You decide from the following verses. I Thessalonians 4:14-17 “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” I Corinthians 15:51-52 “Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed”. II Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” From these verses, someone may argue that ALL will be raised to be with Christ forever. But Christ Himself does not indicate this in Matthew 25:31-46. Here Christ describes a time when all the angels are with Him as He sits on His throne of glory. He says all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another…. the sheep (righteous) on His right hand, but the goats (unrighteous) on the left. The destiny of the goats is described in scripture as outer darkness, furnace of fire, lake of fire, eternal punishment. Time as we know it will end. All who ever lived will be judged, and all with enter into eternity in Heaven or in Hell. God has given us instruction so that we can be prepared for the time of judgement…..and the time for preparation is NOW. Don’t delay, call today for your free bible and to arrange a time to begin a study of the bible. Remember, God does not wish anyone to perish, but that all should come to repentance. II Peter 3:9. For more information, call 344-7147 or 344-4070. This message has been brought to you by members of the Church of Christ. Our building is located on the corner of Sunset & Plains in Hereford.

Local 4-H'ers nab book wins; 3 head to state By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
A 60-year-old facility, Hereford Community Center is found by architect Greg Billman, center director Erin Hubbard and city maintenance personnel to be in dire need of extensive repairs and renovations. BRAND/John Carson
CENTER: FROM PAGE 1
The report was broken into segments covering spatial configuration and life safety, finishes and furniture, accessibility, building technical deficiencies, and heating and cooling. The most extensive list was technical defeiciencies and showed problems with the building’s foundation and structure, electrical system, roof and plumbing, as well as heating and cooling units. Billman, as well as city officials, noted that north and east walls of a 1978 addition to the building are separating from the interior structure due to “a severe structural defect in the construction of the foundation and footing.” The reports showed that “qualified electricians” have found all electrical wiring needs to be replaced, while city workers have observed fraying and delamination. Not only is the current wiring “not sufficient” to handle loads currently be placed on it, there are severe limitations on adding
new outlets, routers, wiring and security because of the concrete construction of the original building. Age, inefficiency and aesthetics create a need to have all doors and windows replaced. The roof is in constant need of repair, and the city is “very limited” in overroofing solutions that can be used. Plumbing under the structure is original with several sewer lines already collapsed, and there are multiple leaks coming out of foundation and exterior facets from the almost 40-year-old addition. In terms of the restrooms, fixtures were found to be outdated and mismatched, while the general system and other specifics did not meet Texas Accessibility Standards requirements. Overall accessibility is a tantamount issue because addressing them would invoke 2012 state accessibility standards. “In particular, accessibility issues in terms of approach, clearance and access to water closets by persons confined to wheelchairs have been identi-

fied with the facility’s existing restrooms,” the reported stated. “Renovation of these spaces will likely require saw-cutting of existing floor slabs and trenching for new branch plumbing to support renovated accessible restroom space – renovation work whose cost and scale is generally equal to the construction of new restroom spaced outright.” The current center’s spatial configuration is a “general shortcoming” because circulation and connectivity between spaces is limited. The report showed that many primary spaces could only be accessed through others or via a corridor that goes into the ball room – a configuration it added that is a “clear egress violation” of current city building code and cannot be remedied without major renovation. “From a programmatic standpoint, the existing community center is essentially ‘locked’ into a narrow range of event capabilities that are largely defined by the limited design and nature of the event and meeting room spaces of the ex-
isting facility,” the report added. Commissioner and Mayor Pro Tem Charlie Kerr relayed constituent concerns about moving the community center from its current site and worries the site would become blighted. Hanna said if the move is made, the existing building would most likely be razed and the lot probably used as a reservoir when the city’s new well field comes on line. Hanna said the parking lot would remain for use by patrons to Dameron Park. Although Commissioner Linda Cumpton expressed a “wish” the proposed new facility could be more visible to traffic than its planned location on West 15th Street between the Amarillo College campus and Department of Public Safety building, the consensus among commissioners favored a new community center. “The current space is outdated and in need of repair,” Mayor Tom Simons said. “It would be very costly to repair, and we would still have a 60-yearold facility.”

It came as a shock when Hereford’s Lydia Villanueva heard her named called during the July 9 Weekend of Honor ceremonies in Dallas. During an event that honored the five Dallas police officers slain in 2016, community volunteers of all ages, shapes, sizes and backgrounds were also touted. Among the honors bestowed were the President’s Lifetime Achievement Service Award. Established in 2003 by executive order of President George W. Bush, the award annually recognizes volunteers who give hundreds of hours each year to helping others through the President’s Council on Service and Participation. Villanueva was one of the 2017 recipients. “I am very honored and very humbled to be included and part of that ceremony and tribute,” she said Wednesday from her office at CASA del Llano in Hereford. “I was not expecting this at all. I don’t know how I was nominated. “I think what they are doing is tremendous to recognize folks who respond to community needs. People who answer the call of the community.” Villanueva founded CASA Del Llano – Communities Assuring a Sustainable Agriculture with Llano included to honor the multi-state Llano Estacado region of which Deaf Smith County is part – in October 2000 and has been in the director’s chair since. A community volunteer since the 1990s, she said that service opened her

CASA Del Llano founder and director Lydia Villanueva is a 2017 recipient of the President’s Lifetime Achievement Service Award for her efforts to address the needs of the Hereford community and its people. BRAND/John Carson eyes to the greater needs within the local community and led to her establishing CASA Del Llano. “The need is why it was started and why I do it,” Villanueva said. “There is such a huge need for these services in this community. After volunteering through San Jose Catholic Church, I saw the needs in the community were far greater than just church volunteering. “I wanted to look for ways to do more and offer more help. It has been very rewarding.” From its Sixth Street location in Hereford – a house donated to the organization – CASA Del Llano provides a wide variety of services to the citizens of the community. From September-May, English as a Second Language classes are held, and there are conversational Spanish classes
available. There is also basic immigration information available, as well as needed government forms. Both written and oral translation services are offered, along with computer classes by appointment and citizenship classes. A variety of women’s programs from health to domestic violence, parenting and finances are available, and a children’s summer program that works in collaboration with Deaf Smith County Library’s Summer Reading Program to offer life skills, field trips, arts and crafts, health and other events. A centerpiece is a job placement and application center that rose to prominence after Texas Workforce Commission closed its Hereford office and provides job assis-
tance, as well as applications for a number of local employers – including Cargill, Caviness, Merrick Pet Care and Arrowhead Mills among others. Although those companies have offered to pay CASA Del Llano for providing employee assistance, Villanueva is proud of the fact that no money is taken from those entities, while also not charging people for the services provided. “Far too many times people put a dollar value to helping people,” she said. “There is no realistic dollar value for helping a community and its people. We take no pay from anyone or the state. “The only pay I receive is the gratitude of the people we help, and that makes it all worthwhile. We feel like we have filled needs in the community and answered the call.”

Overuse, abuse of opioid pain medications threatens health By Bob Moos U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Our nation faces its deadliest drug epidemic ever. For years, Americans overestimated the benefits of opioids and underestimated the risks. Many people became regular users of these narcotic pain killers, often quite innocently, with a prescription from a doctor after surgery or an injury or as treatment for a chronic condition. Few thought their growing dependence on the pain killers would lead to addiction. The numbers describe the magnitude of the crisis now confronting us: Since 1999, the amount of prescription opioids sold in this country has nearly quadrupled. Also since then, deaths from prescription opioids have more than quadrupled. Every day, 91 Americans die from an opioid overdose. Older adults are especially affected. About 2.7 million Americans 50 or older abused pain killers in 2015 when they took them for reasons or in amounts beyond what their doctors prescribed. Also, people 65 and older have had sharp increases in opioid-related hospital stays and emergency room visits. No one is suggesting that someone undergoing surgery, recovering from an injury or having major medical problems should be denied pain medications. However, 236 million prescriptions were written for opioids last year in this country – enough to give every American adult a bottle of pain killers. Combating the opioid epidemic has become a major federal priority. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is following a five-pronged strategy of stepping up public
health monitoring of the problem, supporting research on pain and addiction, improving access to treatment, making overdose-reversing drugs more available, and promoting better ways to manage pain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year published guidelines for clinicians prescribing opioids for chronic pain outside of active cancer treatment, palliative care and end-of-life care. The federal government is also providing states with nearly a half-billion dollars for prevention and treatment programs. Another half-billion dollars in grants will follow next year. As important as the federal
partnerships with states and communities will be in addressing this nationwide menace, stemming the increase in opioid-related deaths will demand the attention of all of us. That means not just government officials and health-care professionals. It means anyone who may be needing some form of pain medication, as well as family members and friends. An all-hands-on-deck response is the only way to get a handle on an epidemic that has taken 25 years to develop. Here’s what you can do yourself to fight it: If you’re due for surgery, visit with your physician be-
forehand to find out what you’ll be given for pain relief afterward and how long you should expect to be on it. If you continue to pop pills beyond that, talk with your doctor about the safest way to wean yourself off them. Be aware of the warning signs that you’re becoming too dependent on your medication. Do you have memory problems or trouble focusing on the task at hand? Are you forgoing important obligations? And probably the surest sign of all – are you going to another doctor or elsewhere for more medication because your doctor won’t

If it’s possible, ask a family member or friend to help you through your recovery period and track your use of pain medication to make sure you’re following the recommended dosage. Remember that addiction is a medical matter and not a moral failing. It takes courage to seek help. Treatment can include counseling or medication or both.

Hereford tandem takes ACC tourney From Staff Reports
The Hereford duo of Linda Stevens and Sue Sisemore brought home the hardware from the Amarillo Country Club Ladies Partnership. The three-day tournament, which ran from July 12-14, featured a matchplay format and sported a field of 80 players from around the state. In the opening round, Stevens and Sisemore knocked off Rita Sharp
and Terri Buccola, 10-8, to advance to the semifinals. Facing 2016 champions Marian Barker and Penny Perry of Lubbock, the Stevens-Sisemore tandem had little trouble, routing the defending champs, 1110. Things were a bit tougher in Friday’s title match when the pair had to go to the 17th hole before ousting Kim Cure of Wichita Falls and Jane Jones of Amarillo, 3-2, for the championship trophy.
