Although no official action has been taken, no discussions have been held and the subject only briefly broached officially, city leaders appear set on holding a November vote for a portion of the funding for a proposed new civic center in Hereford.

Hereford Mayor Tom Simons flatly stated the city would be calling a November referendum in response to a question at July 13’s quarterly meeting of the county’s tax-supported entities – City of Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Hereford Independent School District (HISD), Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD), Amarillo College and Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC).

In a format where representatives from each entity update the others on what is happening in their specific sphere, HISD Board of Trustees president Clay McNeely specifically asked

Although no official decisions have been made, city leaders appear adamant about voters determining whether HEDC funds should be used for a new Hereford civic center.

Founders Day sees $65K Tequila Sunrise

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

Supporters by the hundreds joined in the observance of the 40th anniversary of the King’s Manor Founders Day barbecue July 21 at the Hereford ISD Administration Building, paying tribute to history, witnessing a transition ceremony and helping to raise thousands of dollars for Benevolent Care at King’s Manor.

A highlight of the evening was a literal and figurative passing of the torch as retiring Executive Director Shelly Moss transferred duties to new Executive Director Stoney Gleisner as a preface to the fund raising auction. Mrs. Moss handed over a celebratory tiki torch to mark the occasion.

For Hereford Independent School District (HISD) trustees, their collective plates will get a bit crowded during the next month.

In addition to giving approval to a multi-million dollar, 2018-19 budget for the district, the board must decide on whether to proceed with a proposed bond issue for November’s general election.

HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship presented a $22.4 million bond proposal to trustees at a called meeting July 16 that focuses on campus safety and securing, as well renovation to the Whiteface Stadium fieldhouse and upgrades to stadium restrooms and concession stands.

Essentially half the amount of a $42.6 million bond that failed in 2015 and $45 million issue that was also soundly defeated in 2017, Blankenship’s proposal would resolve entrysecurity issues at several campuses, while also alleviating structural problems that create safety concerns.

While her proposal detailed the specifics of what the bond would deal with, PLEASE SEE BOND | 6

2018 Property Tax Rates - HEREFORD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER This notice concerns 2018 property tax rates for HEREFORD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.

OPINION

Daily Bread

Mental health experts weigh in to panel on school violence, security

“Give us this day our daily bread.”

– Matthew 6:11 We’re not big bread eaters in our house so it takes a while for us to finish off a loaf. We often end up with a new bag of bread fresh from the store and a half-eaten one we’re still working on. Now there are differing schools of thought on the consumption of pantry goods. My pilgrim husband, who is a waste-not wantnot kind of fellow, won’t open the new stock until we’ve responsibly eaten the first batch. Meanwhile, I’m asking why in the name of Mrs. Baird must we leave the tempting soft, fresh bread untouched while we chew on the tail-end slices of an aging loaf? His method means we’re always eating old bread while mine is admittedly wasteful. These are the weighty questions that keep family life interesting.

Another complicated relationship is the one we engage with food. In America, where most of us enjoy an embarrassment of riches, endless aisles of grocery shelves offer up a ridiculous array of produce, meats, cheeses, breads and the indulgent proof of prosperity—snacks. The food ALL IN industry caters to our evKerrie Womble Steiert ery whim: gluten-free, no nuts, sugar-free, with sea salt, non-GMO, low sodium, decaffeinated, lactose-free, low fat, etc.

We need special diet foods because we’re fat and getting fatter with each passing year. All of those indulgent, super-sized portions have created super-sized people.

A fire-grilled specialty burger at Red Robin requires you to unhinge your jaw and averages a scale-busting 1,500 calories, enough fuel for more than seven hours of weight lifting. But we’re not following lunch with all those workout hours. So yep, we’re fat.

Nearly 40 percent of American adults are medically classified as obese including more than 7 percent who are severely so. Ten times more children and teens around the world (124 million) are obese than forty years ago. Serious health consequences involve the increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers, not to mention the strain on our backs and joints. Anyone who struggles with their weight can agree that those extra pounds are a disheartening burden, literally, figuratively and financially.

It’s challenging to eat for good health when faced with so many mixed messages about the evils and benefits of certain foodstuffs. At times, it seems that the only “safe” fare are twigs and berries. For years, we’ve been sternly warned about the dangers posed by butter, whole milk and eggs. But, new studies have discovered that those natural foods may actually provide important nutrients that our bodies need. Danish scientists recently found surprising evidence that full-fat milk may be better at keeping heart disease and strokes at bay than watery skim milk. The latest food villains making news are cured meats such as salami or jerky which may worsen the symptoms of mental illness.

We take for granted the remarkable chemistry between our food and the amazing machine that is the human body, converting carbohydrates and sugars into fuel, making strong skeletons from silky dairy products, refining energy out of proteins. The nutrients we consume are wonderfully designed to meet the special and separate need of skin, eyes, muscles, blood, bone and brain. Happily, our perfunctory requirement of nutrition is spread out and served up in a blissful banquet of flavors, savory and sweet, tempting textures, delectable spices and aromas. When we need to eat our feelings, we find solace and security in comfort foods such as puddings, pastas, chocolates, cheeses, pastries and virtually anything made with cream.

Any form of greed, whether for money or power or food, offends God and wreaks ultimate harm to one’s soul and earthly temple. Notably, 21 Bible verses address the nature and consequences of gluttony, the selfish craving of comfort and control through food. At the center of Holy Communion— our spiritual sustenance— are unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine. Profound lessons about physical and divine nourishment abound within scripture, including the significance of balanced living. The reference to “this day” and “daily bread” in The Lord’s Prayer teaches of fair portions and pacing our appetites. In the story of the loaves and fishes, Jesus demonstrates that when we bless and share our ration with open hearts and gratitude, no one is left to hunger.

For each and every component of good health, there is a perfect food found in the garden, the field, the orchards and groves, the seas and rivers, a nest or tree, the skies, even mined from rocks. Here in farm and ranch country, we’re aware that living creatures with hooves, feathers, scales and shells surrender themselves for the sake of our furtherance. We are forever indelibly tied to creation and the sacred, mystic life that is given—sacrificed—in order that we might thrive.

AUSTIN – Psychological prevention and treatment for students is the best way to head off school violence, mental health professionals told a panel of state lawmakers on July 18.

This was the third in a series of interim hearings for the Senate Select Committee on Violence in Schools & School Security, a panel named by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in response to the shooting at Santa Fe High School in May. Dr. Andy Keller, president of the Meadows Foundation in Dallas, told panel members: — It is a challenge to predict which students might turn into mass shooters; — Some 2 million children and teenagers have been diagnosed with mental health disorders; — Of those, perhaps 20,000 have a diagnosis associated with a slight increase in violent behavior; and — Of the 20,000, fewer STATE than 1,000 are considered CAPITAL high-risk for violent behavior.

HIGHLIGHTS Keller added that doesn't Ed Sterling mean those 1,000 children are more likely to commit a mass shooting.

Dr. Clifford Moy, director of Behavioral Health at the TMF Health Quality Institute in Austin, said professionals "should be focusing on the broader group of students who are at risk" in order to intervene for their and others' safety.

Dr. Iram Kazimi, director of the Inpatient Pediatric Bipolar Program at UT Health Harris County Psychiatric Center, said children's exposure to violent media changes their perception of how others think about them. "Unless we start addressing how kids actually think about the world around them, I think we're going to be at a loss," Kazimi said.

After its final hearing on July 24, the committee will present a final report to the full Senate with findings and recommendations for the Legislature to consider in its next regular session, which begins in January.

Abbott, DOJ announce grant Gov. Greg Abbott and the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance on July 19 announced a $1 million grant for overtime expenses of law enforcement officers involved in the response efforts after the shooting at Santa Fe High School. The grant will be awarded to the Office of the Governor's Criminal Justice Division and will assist the City of Santa Fe and surrounding jurisdictions with law enforcement costs incurred responding to the shooting.

"As our hearts continue to ache for the lives lost at Santa Fe High School, this grant will provide welcome assistance to a community still struggling with this tragedy," Abbott said.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said, "Today, we continue to help state and local police in Texas to rebuild after the tragic murder of 10 people at Santa Fe High School."

Bush seeks input on Harvey Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush on July 16 announced additional Hurricane Harvey outreach efforts to gather local and regional input for $137 million in Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery funds available for local, regional and state planning.

The outreach by the Texas General Land Office will include a survey requesting input and encouraging regional planning coordination to help mitigate and lessen the impact of future disasters.

The survey will be distributed to citizens, local officials, councils of government and river authorities to request input for planning topics including: — Flood control; — Drainage improvements; — Resilient housing solutions; — Economic development; — and infrastructure improvements.

RRC wraps up restoration The Texas Railroad Commission on July 16 announced its Abandoned Mine Land program completed restoration of an eight-acre abandoned uranium mine in Karnes County.

Known as the Hackney Site, it was last mined in 1963 and sat abandoned for 54 years. It was selected for remediation because of the safety hazard abandoned pits posed to the public, as well as "elevated naturally occurring radiation levels." The four-month project reduced radiation to safe levels and restored the area to its natural state, the agency said.

West Nile cases confirmed The Texas Department of State Health Services on July 17 announced it had confirmed three cases of West Nile disease reported by health departments in Austin, Dallas and Galveston.

Humans can be infected by West Nile virus through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Last year, some 135 cases of West Nile illness that resulted in six deaths in Texas. There have been more than 3,500 illnesses and 167 deaths in Texas over the last 10 years, the health department said.

Hunters aid the hungry with 8.l million pounds of game meat

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The late 1960s and early 1970s were golden years of duck hunting for me. I went often and with great success, bagging multiple species.

There was a need to do something positive with all of those birds beyond what my own family could consume. First recipients of hunting largesse were neighbors just down the road who had lots of kids to feed, and an appreciation for free food in the form of los patos. Over time, those neighbors and numerous others reached the point that they were about ready to flee from me on sight, lest I attempt to give them, no, not zucchini squash, but more ducks.

There are often times that successful hunters, particularly big game hunters, have more meat than they want or need.

This plentitude of protein taken in the field can present a challenge as no real hunter wants to engage in wanton waste of wildlife.

The National Rifle Association created the Hunters for the Hungry initiative with the excellent idea of supplying thousands of meals of wild game meat to the needy across the nation.

The NRA works with state agencies to put individuals interested in donating game meat in touch with programs in their area.

American Hunter magazine reports that since the inception of Hunters for the Hungry, thousands of pounds of venison have been given to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food banks across the United States in a program that both fights hunger and promotes environmental stewardship.

More than 8.1 million meals are provided annually through donations of game meat by hunters from over 2.1 million pounds of meat taken by hunters, who bag 4-6 million whitetail deer annually.

In Texas, Hunters for the Hungry has provided over nine million servings of venison to Texans in need. Making the donations requires substantial investments of time and expense for participating hunters, who can donate legally tagged, field dressed deer at participating meat processors who then prepare the venison for distribution to local relief agencies such as food banks and food pantries. Hunters are also asked to donate to support processing fees.

Participating processors are registered and advertised on a website. Prior to each hunting season,

participating processors will receive donation receipts, two-pound chub packs for donated venison and promotional materials. Recipient agencies contact a local food bank to be added to the list of recipient agencies.

In Texas, Texas Hunters for the Hungry is a statewide hunger relief program dedicated to providing a healthy source of protein to needy Texans. The mission is to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in Texas by distributing donated venison to those

in need. This provides a meaningful outlet for hunters to help their communities and promote environmental stewardship through wildlife management.

Through the program, hunters donate their legally tagged, field-dressed deer at participating meat processors across the state.

Meat processors prepare and package the venison, then contact local food assistance providers who distribute it to local families and individuals experiencing hunger. Since the program’s inception over 20 years ago, Hunters for the Hungry has provided over two million pounds of meat – or an estimated 9.3 million servings to hungry Texans. That’s substantial given the number of Americans who lack dependable access to adequate food on the rise, food assistance providers need our help more than ever! Over 62 percent of food assistance providers reported needing more protein sources (meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, nuts) to serve their clients.

Farmers and Hunters

Feeding the Hungry reports almost 200,000 pounds of wild game meat was donated to its programs to help the needy in 2017-2018, and according to American Hunter Magazine, Quality Deer Management Association members donated 1.73 million pounds of venison to the needy during the 2017-2018 season.

To learn more, find a meat processor in your area or make a monetary donation, visit http://bit. ly/TexasHuntersfortheHungry. Or, a mapping tool available on hfth. nra.org/get-involved shows where meat processors who handle game destined to aid the hungry can be located

along with their contact information.

Participating processors here in the High Plains include CLINT & SONS, 115 w. 3rd White Deer, TX 79097 806-883-7831 and BIG FOUR PACKING 16th & CEDAR, Perryton, TX 79070 806-435-5679.

News BOND: FROM PAGE 1

Blankenship also included a quartet of bond repayment scenarios that looked at detailed numbers comparing $21 million and $22 million bonds over respective 15and 20-year payouts.

The scenarios were figured

by HISD financial consultant Vince Viaille, managing director of Specialized Public Finance in Dallas.

“We need to look at the bottom line,” Blankenship said. “We don’t want the bond to outlive the work it paid for.”

With her proposal at $22.4 million, Blankenship directed trustees to the 15- and 20year comparison for the $22 million.

Numbers on an annual basis, show the 20-year option as the least burdensome to taxpayers’ pocketbooks.

Bond repayment would be separate tax – called I&S – from the current HISD M&O taxes property owners pay.

Over a 20-year payout, the I&S tax would be .121 mills – or 12.1 cents per each $100 of valued property – which would translate into an annual additional tax of $90.87 for a $100,000 house with a $25,000 homestead exemption.

Monthly that rate is $7.57 or 25 cents per day.

Next to that, a 15-year payout pales in comparison.

A 15-year I&S rate would be .146, which would push the tax for a $100,000 home to $109.10 per month - $9.10 per month and 30 cents per day.

The decision almost looks like a no-brainer until the bottom line.

That is where the biggest difference between the 15and 20-year options jumps out.

Even with higher monthly taxes per household, repaying the bond within 15 years rather than 20 would save the district a substantial amount of money.

In Viaille’s scenarios, re-

Wednesday, July 25, 2018

Digital Mammography Close to Home payment of a $22 million bond over 15 years would ultimately cost $28.5 million.

To do the same over 20 years, pushes the total to $31.35 million.

“I like the idea of repaying in 15 years,” Blankenship said. “It saves more than $2.7 million. The difference in tax rate is 14.6 cents versus 12.1 cents between 15and 20-year terms.

“In the long run, it is not worth $2.7 million to save 2.6 cents a year in taxes over five years.”

HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram added his support to the 15-year option

because it would be easier to pay off and more quickly repaid.

While Hereford Wind has an abatement agreement with HISD that caps the company’s property value at $30 million for the next eight years, that only covers property taxes.

If a bond is approved, Hereford Wind would be taxed at its actual $230 million value for I&S purposes.

Trustees have until Monday, Aug. 20 to meet state deadlines to officially call a bond for inclusion on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Tip of the Day Items to consider when outfitting a home gym

Home gyms can make working out more efficient, saving time driving to a fitness facility and enabling people to stick to a workout regimen during inclement weather. Having a gym at home also may motivate people to work out more frequently and more effectively, as they can exercise at any time of day they choose and won’t need to share equipment with fellow fitness enthusiasts.

NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS HAVING CLAIMS AGAINST THE ESTATE OF JUDY GREENBLOTT DECEASED Notice is hereby given that Original Letters Testamentary upon the Estate of JUDY GREENBLOTT were issued to LORI LONG, as Independent Executrix on the 23rd day of July, 2018, in Cause No. PR-2018-05503, Estate of JUDY GREENBLOTT, deceased, pending in the County Court of Deaf Smith County, Texas. All persons having claims against said estate , which is currently being administered in Deaf Smith County, Texas, are hereby required to present the same to said Independent Executrix at the address given below, before suit upon same is barred by the Statute of Limitations, before such estate is closed, and within the time and in the manner prescribed by law.

The residence of the Independent Executrix is 504 Avenue G, Apt A, Hereford, Texas 79045. The attorney for the estate is R.C. Hoelscher , Attorney at Law, whose address is: P.O. Box 1775 (304 West 3rd) Hereford Tx, 79045 Signed this 23rd day of July, 2018

While workouts will vary from individual to individual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend adults should combine both aerobic and strength training to achieve optimal health. The CDC recommends adults do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. In addition, the CDC advises adults to include moderate- or high-intensity muscle-strengthening activities, involving all major muscle groups, in their workout regimens two or more days per week. When constructing their home gyms, homeowners should keep CDC recommendations in mind so they can enjoy as complete a workout as possible.

The following are some items homeowners can consider when outfitting their home gyms. · Barbells: Barbells aren’t just for biceps.

Barbells can be used to work all the major muscle groups, including arms, chest, shoulders, legs, and back. Purchase a set of barbells of various weights so workouts can be varied depending on the muscle group being targeted. · Bench, bar and plates: A bench, bar and plates also can be invaluable to people who want a fitness facility-quality workout at home. Purchase plates of various weights but remember to be cautious with the amount of weight you lift when no partner or spotter is present. When shopping for a bench, look for one that can incline and decline, which increases the range of exercises

you can perform at home. · Land line: If the gym will be in a basement or another area of the home where access to a mobile network is unreliable, the presence of a land line in the room can help in the case of emergencies. Those who work out at home will be doing so without gym staff or other fitness enthusiasts nearby, so the land line can be invaluable should someone suffer an injury when exercising alone. If possible, place the land line in the middle of the room so it’s not too far away from any particular area. · Flooring: Homeowners have various flooring options when outfitting their home gyms. Carpet tiles, rubber flooring, foam flooring, and vinyl tiles are popular options. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and the right choice may depend on how the gym will be used. For example, foam flooring may be compressed under heavy equipment, which may be problematic for homeowners who want to include lots of equipment in their home gyms. Before considering which flooring material to lay down, write down your likely workout routine before taking that write-up with you to a flooring contractor who can recommend the best material for you. · Cardiovascular equipment: Homeowners don’t have to reinvent the wheel when purchasing cardiovascular equipment for their home gyms. If a treadmill worked for you at the gym, purchase one for your home gym as well. Cardio equipment can be expensive, but savvy homeowners may be able to find fully functional secondhand equipment online. If you currently have a gym membership, speak with the owner about purchasing a used item directly from the facility.

Outfitting a home gym requires homeowners to give careful consideration to their workout preferences so they can tailor their gyms to their specific needs.

What is your "this" in life? Worship with us on Sunday morning to better answer that question. Our Scripture reading and point of reference for the morning will be Matthew 9:27-31. The morning message by Pastor Danny Mize will revolve around three questions: What Is Your "This"? Can We Be Honest With God? and How Can We Keep It To Ourselves?

Cindy Cassels will play piano and Peggy Mize will lead us in singing: "Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us" "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" and "He Giveth More Grace." We will also hear a presentation of "On Eagles' Wings."

At 9:00 a.m. Sunday, Dennis Hicks will lead another session in the study "Recovery Road." Our 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. Questions? Leave a message for us at 364-0359.

Listen for the morning devotional minute heard on KNNK Radio, 100.5 FM, 7:25 a.m. Monday through Friday.

Notes from past Sundays are online at: FOBlessons.com – posted on Sunday afternoon each week. Want to know more? Visit our Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/ FOBchurchHereford/

Missions is sharing the Love of God to others wherever they may live. Last week, our church sent a team to South Mexico to help earthquake victims. Next week, we invite every to be part of #ServeHereford. This is a mission trip involving 5th graders through older teens, young adults, and adults in ministry all over town. Wednesday Aug 1 – Fri Aug 3, there will be special projects and acts of love for individuals in need, elderly, and single moms. We will work with Hereford Satellite Center, Hereford Senior Citizens, San Jose Community, Kings Manor, Hereford Nursing & Rehab, Deaf Smith County Jail, Adult Protective Services, Blue Water Gardens, doing many projects. Some projects are as simple as listening, reading the Bible and praying to shut-ins, cleaning homes, mowing grass, small construction projects, delivering food and blessing people with Banana Nut Bread.

One special project is our single mom’s spa time at Blue Water Gardens by our women’s ministry.

Teens from Farmington, New Mexico will be joining us for this week. All teens need to see Pastor Andrew to register.

Adults, you are invited to come to one event or come to them all! We start in the sanctuary at 9 am each day on Wednesday Thursday, and Friday.

Let’s love our community with the love of Christ through #ServeHereford.

Retirement or assisted living residents who might run out of savings after living at King’s Manor for at least a year are eligible to apply for a Founders Benevolent Grant to bridge the gap between income and cost of care. According to information provided at the event, benevolent grant spending by the Founders Board is on pace

to hit $111,000 this year, due to a high number of grant applications, making fund raising success vital.

Preliminary totals compiled at the end of the evening by King’s Manor Chief Financial Officer Jim Layman put the amount grossed from this year’s event at approximately $65,000 prior to the deduction of expenses, and pending final payment
