School tax rates to stay the same

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Farmers Fete Folks Page 5

Deaf Smith County taxpayers will have to dip no further into their pockets to pay for the operation of local schools after the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees proposed no tax increase for 201819 at its regular meeting

Monday. Trustees approved a proposed tax rate of 104 mills - $1.04 for every $100 in property valuation – that was unchanged from the previous year. The board also proposed an unchanged tax rate for Amarillo College’s Hereford campus at 5 cents per $100 valuation.

The move sets into full swing the 2018-19 budget process as HISD is the first tax-supported entity that must have a budget approved in front of the Sept. 1 start of its fiscal year. All other county taxing entities must have budgets in place by Oct. 1. The proposed rates cannot be made official until a mandated pub-

lic notice process takes place that has thrown a bit of a curve into trustees’ meeting schedule. While a required public hearing on the HISD tax rate has been scheduled for the Aug. 27 regular meeting – after which a budget is usually approved, that was not possible to meet legalities with Amarillo College.

#ServeHereford to get 2nd renewal By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The month of August will open with a bang for much of the congregation at Nazarene Family Church with renewal of its #ServeHereford event for a second year. Last year’s inaugural event – like this year’s – featured three days of community outreach and community services performed around town by the church’s fifthand sixth-graders, Contixon Youth ministeries and Nazarene Family adults. This year’s event runs from Wednesday-Friday, Aug. 1-3 with projects to assist Hereford individuals, as well as a number of communityservice agencies – Hereford Satellite Center, Meals on Wheels, Deaf Smith County Jail, Adult Protective Services, King’s Manor, Hereford Rehab and Nursing Home, and Blue Waters Gardens.

The topic of a new civic center in Hereford stretched beyond the municipality and into the halls of county government at Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court. Among commissioners’ eight-item agenda was approval of a contract between the county and City of Hereford to conduct a referendum vote during the Nov. 6 general election on a portion of the funding for a proposed new civic center. In getting approval, the decision put the county in the ironic position of having approved County Clerk Imelda DeLaCerda of conducting the election for the city before city officials have actually called for a November referendum. While city leaders have indicated the matter will go before voters on several occasions, the city commission has yet to make an official call for a November referendum. Approval for the election is expected despite both city commission meetings in July being cancelled. Slated to meet the first and third Mondays of each month, the commission’s first meeting each month is normally cancelled, but will be held next month – on Monday, Aug. 6 – to reportedly approve the election call. DeLaCerda said the joint election approval given Monday was only for a potential city referendum. She fully expects to repeat the process sometime next month when Hereford Independent School District (HISD) is expected to approve inclusion of a $22.4 million bond issue on the November ballot. For both the civic center referendum and school bond, intent of inclusion on the Nov. 6 ballot must be made to the state no later than Aug. 20. In other action, the court made a minute change in county policy that is designed for safety and aversion from potential disaster. After the point was raised during the July 10, commissioners approved alteration to policy crossing county roads with a gas line that now requires the line to be encased in metal and a breather vent placed on the owner’s property. Commissioners also updated the limited scope of their repaving projects for this year when the county could only afford paving for a total of 4.5 miles.

Jerry O’Connor in Precinct 2 still had some $12,000 of his $34,000 total after paving projects on County Road MM to CR 9, CR N to CR 14, and CRs KK and 15 to FM1057.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS What ls a great blessing that God has given to his people? “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us (I Cor 4:15; I Peter 1:23) again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time”. I Peter 1:3-5 In this statement, how are we kept by the power of God? And what is this power? What does the bible say? In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he made this statement: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written ‘The just shall live by faith”’. Romans 1:16-17 Also, we consider these statements in I Corinthians, Chapter 1: verse 18”For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God”: verse 23-24 “but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God”. II Thess 2:14 tells us that we are called by the gospel. The power of God is the gospel message, the word of God. John 17:17 tells us that God’s word is truth. How does this power keep us? I Cor 15:1-2 “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which you are also saved IF you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain”. Being begotten of God (born again), and the promise of a living hope, an inheritance that is incorruptible and does not fade away is only possible if we hear the word of God, believe it, and obey it. The message from God is simple, and the study we offer is simple. We offer this study to individuals and small groups. CALL OR TEXT TODAY FOR MORE INFORMATION. If you don’t have a bible, we will give you one. JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

Tip of the Day Avoiding foodborne poisoning

Numerous foodborne illness outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli have occurred across the United States and Canada in 2018. And such outbreaks are not limited to North America. In May, more than 40 cases of hepatitis A were reported in six European Union countries, according to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

Building and painting were not the only part of the service projects as, left, Zayden Lara, joins, from right, Breanna Ray, Bailey Chesher and Selah Diaz to pay a visit to Bambi Brethour during 2017’s #ServeHereford. Contributed photo

effort will be a youth group from Cross Roads Community Church of the Nazarene in Farmington, N.M. “This began as a teen mission that we would do every year somewhere else,” Nazarene Family Church youth pastor Andrew Taylor said. “Then we realized how much more we could do if we stayed here.” In addition to small cleaning and building projects around the town, event projects include taking banana nut bread and house plants

in painted pots to shutins and providing a single mom a spa day a Blue Water Gardens. The event kicks off Aug. 1 with projects in the San Jose community that will be followed by a block party to include food, music and children’s attractions. Thursday evening is spent at King’s Manor and Westgate with visits to residents, arts and crafts, a hamburger cookout and singalong. A PB&J Club event highlights Friday evening as games, hot dogs and water slides at Blue Water Gardens is on the agenda. Morning and after-

noon hours will be spent on individual projects around town. If residents know anyone who is in need of a visit, someone to read to them or help with lawn or light house work, Nazarene Family officials ask you contact them at 806-364-8303. “We desire to help people by serving them as a way of showing the love of God,” Nazarene Family pastor Ted Taylor said. “We off say, ‘Around the world, and across the street.’” “Last month, we went to southern Mexico, and now we are serving our community.”

When two or more people get the same illness from the same food or drink source, the event is called a foodborne disease outbreak, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While infection from salmonella strains and escherichia coli are some of the most notable contagions, other illnesses can occur as well, as evidenced by the EU hepatitis outbreak. Listeria and cyclospora are some other known foodborne illness pathogens. Through the first half of 2018, warnings and recalls have been issued by the CDC for shell eggs, romaine lettuce, dried coconut, chicken salad, kratom, raw sprouts, and frozen shredded coconut due to illness outbreaks. The ramifications of food illnesses are significant. The Food and Drug Administration and the CDC reported that 121 people in 25 states became ill in April 2018 from eating romaine lettuce grown in the region of Yuma, Arizona. Forty-six of those individuals were hospitalized, including 10 who developed a type of kidney failure. One person in California died from the sickness. Increased reporting about foodborne illness outbreaks begs the question as to whether or not more can be done to reduce the spread of these harmful pathogens. Contamination can occur in various places as food makes its way to dinner tables. Long-term prevention of foodborne illness outbreaks involves the cooperation of many people in the production chain all the way to the consumer, according to the CDC.

· Production and harvesting needs to be safe and clean, with efforts to keep food products free of animal waste and sewage contamination. · Inspection of processing plants can help ensure sanitary practices are in place. · Pasteurization, irradiation, canning, and other steps can kill pathogens during food processing. · People who package or prepare foods must properly wash their hands and clean facilities where food is handled. · Food service workers should not go to work when they are ill. · Foods need to be kept at proper temperatures during transport and when on display at stores. · Consumers should be aware of expiration dates and employ proper food handling and cooking measures. These include thoroughly washing produce, and cooking poultry, meats and other foods to the recommended temperatures. People who experience food poisoning should report each instance to the local or state health department. Identifying symptoms and location can help health officials track illnesses and look for similar exposures.

Tennis unique among summer sports camps animals By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The summer athletic camp season barreled toward the finish line when the penultimate of the offerings – and the last of the co-ed editions – had its run this week. The Herd Tennis Camp completed four days of daily, three-hour ses-

Hereford High School tennis courts. “Attendance was good,” Whiteface tennis coach and camp director Cody Crouch said. “It is a nice opportunity to get to work with the younger kids, although it only for a short time. “It is nice to have a shot at getting them to love tennis.”

While it was a week-long, fun, sports camp for all those 13 and younger, the week was de facto training camp for returning Whitefaces and varsity hopefuls. BRAND/John Carson

Cadence Copeland, 11, hones her return skills with camp director and Whiteface tennis coach Cody Crouch during Herd Tennis Camp this week. BRAND/John Carson sions on Thursday at

With camps on a veri-

table weekly schedule since the end of school, tennis was the ninth – and most unique – of the 10 for the season. While half the camps – boys and girls basketball, softball, volleyball, track and tennis – are divided in two respective sessions for younger and older players, tennis breaks age down even more with a third group. Two-session camps are usually broken into morning sessions for younger players and older ones in the afternoon. Tennis deviates again with all three of its sessions taking place during a staggered schedule in each day’s three-hour slot. The youngest group (incoming third-fifth graders) met each day from 9-10 a.m., while incoming middle schoolers (sixth-eighth graders) had camp sessions that ran from 10 a.m.-noon daily. Although there were some differences in the drills performed and learning, honing and mastering fundamen-

tals are a camp’s foundation, the biggest reason for the camp’s odd schedule is a camp goal of paramount import to the director. “I don’t think young kids need to be there three hours each day,” Crouch said. “They aren’t going to get anything groundbreaking during an hour or three hours of tennis time at that age. “With a one-hour window [for the youngest], they can laugh, have fun and hopefully want more tennis rather than dragging it out to where they get miserable by the end of the day and don’t want to come back.” It is evident watching camp sessions unfold that Crouch is sincere in his desire to spread the love of tennis, where a player wants official competition or not. Like his camp schedule, Crouch comes at the ultimate goal from a different tack than mastering the mechanics of the game. “I think about this different than most,”

Crouch said. “I don’t care if any kid leaves tennis camp knowing how to hit a forehand or a backhand or keep score or anything. I don’t care if the remember one thing about tennis. “I want them to leave and say that was a fun week. I want them to want to play more tennis. I want them to play in junior high. If I can get them in junior high tennis and they already like tennis, they have a chance to be very good.” Without a doubt, the most-unique aspect of tennis camp is it is one of only two varsity-level sports permitted by the UIL to allow high school students to participate – the other is golf. As such, scheduling for tennis camp was altered from Crouch’s first season to take advantage of that. Subsequently, the largest numbers of campers taking part this week were returning Whitefaces and those looking to earn spots on this year’s team as the annual youth tennis camp has become

a bit of a de facto varsity training camp. “I changed the camp schedule after my first year,” Crouch said. “It used to be at the beginning of the summer with three hours for both little ones and junior high, but no high school. We were wasting resources with the time and kids available for camp. “Now, with high school, we’re just adding another week to their practice schedule. I just tell them the only difference is this week I didn’t yell at them for not paying attention. It is a lot more relaxed for them this week.” Attending for the entire three-hour sessions, high schoolers spend two hours working on their games and the final hour conditioning. Camp actually could not better timed for the opening of what will be a quick preseason for the Whitefaces this year. Practice for the 2018 fall season begins Monday in front of an Aug. 7 season-opener against Plainview in Hereford.

Herd assistant coach David DeLeon and recently graduated Lady Whiteface Kara Esquivel direct the morning’s youngest campers through eye-hand coordination drills during this week’s Herd Tennis Camp. BRAND/John Carson

While it appears returning Lady Whiteface Kamille Hicks is about to fall out during conditioning drills, she is actually on the way to a push-up that follows her spring. Of note is that none of the varsity were all that thrilled about having get back up. BRAND/John Carson

Whiteface coach Cody Crouch puts junior high-age campers through more-advanced drills of making consistent contact with the ball and keeping it in play. BRAND/John Carson

IF THERE WAS A VACCINE TO PREVENT CANCER, WOULD YOU GET IT FOR YOUR KIDS? HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) VACCINE CLINIC

Why does my child need HPV vaccine? Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine protects against cancers caused by HPV infection. HPV is a common virus that infects teens and adults. About 14 million people, including teens, become infected with HPV each year. HPV infection can cause cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers in women and penile cancer in men. HPV can also cause anal cancer, cancer of the back of the throat (oropharynx), and genital warts in both men and women.

When should my child be vaccinated? All kids who are 11 or 12 years old should get two shots of HPV vaccine six to twelve months apart. Getting vaccinated on time protects preteens long before ever being exposed to the virus. People get HPV from another person during intimate sexual contact. Some children may need three doses of HPV vaccine. For example, adolescents who receive their two shots less than five months apart will need a third dose for best protection. Also, children who start the vaccine series on or after their 15th birthday need three shots given over 6 months. The best way to remember to get your child all of the recommended doses is to make an appointment for the remaining shots before you leave the Hereford Health Clinic. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE.
