Branch ties up Senior Steer crown By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Winning a round and placing among the top four in another provided all the punch needed Thursday for Roger Branch to capture the Senior Steer Roping championship at the 23rd Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping. Branch topped a field of 30-plus competitors to finish with a 43.15 in the average and walk away with the $1,492 top prize. The total purse for the event was $11,200. Marty Jones was more than a second back at 44.32 to claim the runner-up spot and $1,119 check. Randy Mekelburg was a distant third with a 52.92 for $746, while Marty Poppino (55.40) came in fourth to claim $373.
Branch added almost $1,800 more to his winnings by taking the second go in 13.71 for $996 and finishing second in the first go at 11.79 for another $747. Individual payouts in the three rounds were $996 for first, $747 for second, $498 for third and $249 for fourth. Jeff Wheelis won the first go in 10.82 with Branch finishing second. Miles Williams was third with a time of 12.61, and Brad Morton came in fourth at 13.28. There was a tight race in the second go behind Branch with less than 2/10ths of a second separating second and fourth place. Jones took the runner-up slot in 14.48 with Dane
Resolution of a disagreement over the amount of a payment due Hereford Independent School District (HISD) by Hereford Wind may be on the horizon. The HISD Board of Trustees has scheduled a called meeting for 6 p.m., Monday with the first item on the agenda being a closed session for “private consultation with district’s legal counsel concerning an agreement to settle and resolve” the discrepancy. The agenda’s second item is a scheduled return to open session for “consideration and action” on a potential agreement. Law requires all binding action by elected boards on determinations in a closed session be made during an open meeting and in front of the public. HISD and Hereford Wind have been odds since January over an effective hold-harmless payment the wind entity is to make to the school district as part of a mutually approved Limited Appraised Valuation Agreement. Under that agreement, Hereford Wind agreed to make up any funding HISD might lose from the state because of increased property values created by the wind entity. Because of the way the state comptroller’s office uses values in determining school funding, there was an anomaly in the county’s appraised values for 2016-17. Under that anomaly, Hereford Wind’s full property value of $250 million was used by the state, while taxes were only collected on $30 million per the valuation agree-

Not just cut and dried
Local stylists make salons a sanctuary of stories, laughter, empathy, tears By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
As the Robert Harling play and movie Steel Magnolias poignantly illustrated, there’s far more than shampoos and sets, cuts and comb-outs, permanent waves and mani-pedis happening at the neighborhood beauty shop. The salons of Hereford are no exception. Local stylists and their faithful patrons establish a confiding relationship as the years pass, sharing the bittersweet ups and downs of life. Personal appearance may be the primary reason that women routinely visit beauty parlors. A more vital aspect is much in evidence for patrons and their beauticians though. Within the styling chairs, beneath the vinyl capes, shears and combs, curlers and dryers, and the justso deft touches, a bond of
A beauty operator is a minister, analyst and psychologist, a sounding board and confidante. During all the years that I’ve loved this job, patrons have shared confidences they wouldn’t want betrayed — and they haven’t been. Billie Lemons sisterhood and even ministry, is formed. As one local hairdresser relates, beauty parlors are far from gossip havens—they are a sanctuary where patrons and operators can let their hair down, literally and figuratively. Cultural differences are left at the parlor door.—The need to correct a bad hair day is universal. Four local stylists with a cumulative 154 years of experience know well that beauty shops run on cash,
checks, and the trust that makes them a therapeutic retreat for customers and operators. “A beauty shop is a place where there is a lot of interesting conversation, and even a time to share God’s word together. You get super close there,” says Delme Bullard of Shear Perfection in Sugarland Mall on the north side of Hereford. PLEASE SEE HAIR | 4

2017 Property Tax Rates in AMARILLO COLLEGE - Hereford Branch This notice concerns 2017 property tax rates for AMARILLO COLLEGE - Hereford Branch. 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.
Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes Last year’s tax base Last year’s total tax rate
$735,201 $1,470,402,322 0.050000/$100
This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) ÷ This year’s adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property) = This year’s effective tax rate
$1,451,551,873 0.050669/$100
This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) ÷ This year’s adjusted tax base = This year’s effective operating rate × 1.08 = this year’s maximum operating rate
$735,491 $1,451,551,873 0.050669/$100 0.054722/$100
= This year’s rollback rate
$735,491
0.054722/$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease - If AMARILLO COLLEGE adopts a 2017 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of 0.050669 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2016 taxes by $ 13,741. Schedule A: Unencumbered Fund Balances:
The following estimated balances will be left in the unit’s property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by a corresponding debt obligation.

HAIR: FROM PAGE 1
“A beauty operator is a minister, analyst and psychologist, a sounding board and confidante,” says Billie Lemons of Billie’s Beauty Shop on South 25 Mile Avenue, a veteran of 51 years in the styling trade. “During all the years that I’ve loved this job, patrons have shared confidences they wouldn’t want betrayed — and they haven’t been.” Virginia Bordayo, a local stylist and beautician for 29 years, concurs. “Through my hairdressing, I’ve been blessed to become part of a sisterhood that lasts forever,” she said. Mrs. Bordayo has worked the past 17 years at Shear Perfection in company with Mrs. Bullard and her sister Annabelle Cepeda, who each have styled hair for 37 years. Annabelle instructs at Milan Institute of Cosmetology in Amarillo and works at the local shop on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Virginia is “semi-retired,” but comes in a couple of times a month to do hair and get a vital dose of life support from “visiting the girls at the shop.” Beauty operators and their clients have a finger on the pulse of the community like no other. They share stories, laughter, empathy and tears. Projects to help ailing or downon-their-luck individuals and the community at large are often launched from parlors. “Through the years, many of the ladies in the community would come every week for a shampoo and set or a perm—sometimes they would be lined up ten deep. They would routinely bring treats and the coffee pot was always

and nails are a pick-me-up, but it’s the fellowship that makes the difference. Clients often give us a kiss on the cheek or a hug as they leave. Some have even stood up from the styling chair to pray for us.” The uplifting power of the beauty shop is supremely evident in what a visit with their favorite operator and the “girls at the shop” can do for individuals battling physical challenges and illness. Clients facing maladies from cancer to dementia noticeably brighten when they enter the familiar, welcoming surroundings of the beauty shop where they have been longtime regulars. “There’s Delme Bullard s o m e t h i n g about a trip to the beauty on. There was, and is, great shop, even if the customer is sick. You put a little lip fellowship,” Virginia said. “An important lesson we gloss on them and do their learned in beauty school hair and it makes them was not to talk politics look and feel better.

follow up on their needs or concerns,” she said. Delme remarked she has learned that much of her profession involves listening skills. “Most people want to vent,” she said. “You just listen and let it go and don’t take it home with you.” She adds that a good shop won’t require much advertising—that happens by word of mouth from happy customers. Affirming that viewpoint is a commentary from Jaime Steiert McGlothlin, who essentially grew up receiving hair care from the Shear Perfection girls. “These three ladies have cared for three generations of women in my family. They did my grandmother’s hair every week for 35 years. My Mom says Virginia’s hair styling is the best. And I can remember when they had to stack towels on the sink seat for my turn. Delme cleaned up the damage of the first haircut I gave myself (and a few teenage specials). Annabelle and Delme stood on either side of me when I was seven years old and pierced my ears. They got me ready for banquets and proms. I have never felt more beautiful than the day Virginia tediously placed pin curls around my

Virginia Bordayo under the dryer where they can sit and talk and listen,” said Billie. “As a girl I loved to curl the hair of dolls— this is the kind of work I always wanted to do. I’ve done hair for people who couldn’t pay for it—so what if they can’t pay—I won’t miss it in a year anyway.” Virginia describes herself as the shop jester, given her knack for evoking laughter from patrons. It’s a gift that helps clients cope on tough days, and a tension breaker. Beneath the laughter, stylists have genuine concern for their patrons. “Delme and Annabelle and I often call customers to
veil for my bridal portraits. Leaning back for hot water over my head and a scalp massage assures me all is well like nothing else,” she related. Annabelle’s four decades of working in hair styling have shown her to do more listening than talking. Close customers become like family. “People come for the visiting and talking to you more than the hair. As a hairdresser, you get the satisfaction of making someone happy. If your hair is done you’re ready to go anywhere. Stylists work to show customers at their best. If you like your hair and get your makeup

You can always make someone look pretty and help them feel good,” observes Annabelle. “They say that when there’s an economic downturn that a lot of jobs disappear, but people still get their hair done.” Delme added that the long hours of running a busy shop and maintaining a family all add challenges to the job, but there’s also joy among patrons and operators in talk of family.

News Key workshop set Wednesday By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
The Tierra Blanca Soil and Water Conservation District and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service office in Hereford will hold an important Local Work Group (LWG) meeting for Deaf Smith County August 9 in the Game Room of the Hereford Community Center from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Conservation priorities impacting the future of the local area will be the topic. The local public and agencies with an interest in conservation issues will have the opportunity to provide input to help determine local natural resource priorities and criteria for USDA conservation activities and programs planning for the upcoming fiscal year. Jerry Homfeld, who farms in western Deaf Smith County, is chairman of the Tierra Blanca Soil and Water Conservation District. He explains that the meeting’s purpose is to receive input from farmers, ranchers, local agencies, organizations,
local agriculture leaders, businesses and other individuals that have an interest in natural resource concerns. In addition to Homfeld, other Tierra Blanca SWCD board members include Chris Urbanczyk, vice chairman, David Wagner, secretary, Nathan Betzen, and Danny Frerich. “The input that we receive will allow the Local Working Group in Deaf Smith County to identify and prioritize the resource concerns that need to be addressed for eligible practices and ranking for county based funding,” said Homfeld. Recommendations from the Local Working Group meeting will be reviewed by the State Technical Advisory Committee to help implement conservation programs offered by NRCS. More information on the LWG meeting can be obtained by contacting the Deaf Smith County NRCS office at 806-3640530, Extension 3, by contacting a Tierra Blanca SWCD board member, or by visiting web sites including www.tx.nrcs.usda.gov or www.tsswcb.state.tx.us.

2017 Property Tax Rates in HEREFORD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
This notice concerns 2017 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.

Quick indoctrination for Lady Herd volleyballers By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Fall sports at Hereford High School are quickly picking up steam as the Lady Whiteface volleyball opened its preseason workouts Tuesday. Much like its counterparts on Herd tennis courts, the Lady Whitefaces had to hit the ground running with the start of the regular season barreling down on them. The Lady Herd open the season Tuesday when they visit Coronado for a 5 p.m., match. “This is kind of normal,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We just had less day than usual. We have a lot of players to replace, so we really could have used that extra day.” Gone from last season’s playoff unit are eight players – including All District 3-5A Offensive Player of the Year Meagan Ellis, threeyear starting setter Chandler Vogel and front-line stalwart Lauren Baker. While there are a number of experienced returnees – Faith Castaneda, Ferrin Yosten, Carmen Flood and sophomore Alyssa Vallejo, who made an impact as a freshman last season and will soften the blow of losing Vogel – a lot of the roster saw limited-to-no varsity playing time in 2016. The result is a hectic preseason practice schedule with some definite goals to be reached in a limited amount of time that has featured two daily workouts Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in advance of

“We’re trying to gel as a group,” Foerster said. “Hav-
ing lost eight players from last year, we are basically a different team. Getting them all comfortable playing with another is a key. The shorter time to do that doesn’t help. “We’ve been focusing on the fundamentals of playing. You’ve got to get touches. We’ve just been wanting to get players as many reps as possible.” Friday’s scrimmage included a total of six Lady Herd varsity sessions with the unit facing each team three times during the course of the four-hour gettogether. The Lady Herd get another practice match Saturday when they travel to face Tascosa. While those will provide some experience and insight into what lies ahead for the Lady Whitefaces, the true impact will not become clearer until the rubber meets the road in the season opener Tuesday. Following that match, they take part in the Mansfield Rotary Tournament on Aug. 10-12 and Northwest ISD Tournament on Aug. 17-19 before school opens Monday, Aug. 21. By then, Foerster is hopeful all the kinks and questions about the team, lineups and rotations will be worked out for a run to return to the postseason. “Once the season starts, we should know in about two weeks where we stand as a team for this year,” she said. “We typically don’t start well, and with so many new players, that will be get magnified some this year.”

Big payday for junior ropers By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
It was almost an entire summer job’s worth of paychecks for winners Thursday in the Junior NJR Roping at the 23rd Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping. More than 150 junior ropers took part in the competition that featured almost 75 teams in two separate age categories – 1619 and 15-under. The largest group sported the highest payout as 60 teams took part in the 15-under competition. Spencer Clements and Kayden Little rode away with $1,870 each after posting a combined time of 38.68 seconds on roping four head. Earning $1,405 each for second were Hunter Corman and Hayden Powell with a total time of 40.69. The tandem of Nicholas Lovins-Brock Corman timed out at 46.06 to finish third and pocket $935 each. Fourth and $470 each went to Kenzie Kelton and Tegan Stewart with a time of 50.26. The total payout for the age group was $9,360. Only 14 teams vied for the total $4,640 in prize money for the 16-19 age group. Kellen Johnson and True Lacina pretty much had their way in posting a total time of 41.12 on four head to easily outdistance the competition and take home
