Taking a glass-half-full approach, reiterating severe need and emphasizing why it is being done, the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees gave unanimous approval to call a bond election for November during a called meeting Tuesday.

The move came in front of an Aug. 20 statemandated deadline for an entity to call an election for inclusion on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

The trustee vote came after presentations

by HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship detailing the $22.4 million proposal, HISD architect Lenora Ask outlining the specific work to be done and district financial consultant Vince Viaille presenting a pair of bond PLEASE SEE BOND | 4

The HISD Board of Trustees asked few questions and had little discussions before giving unanimous approval to calling a $22.4 million bond election for November during a called meeting Tuesday.

Summer vacation anything but for HISD

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Last week’s emergency repairs at Bluebonnet Elementary School put an exclamation point to a summer vacation that pretty much wasn’t for Hereford Independent School District (HISD) as a whole.

For most, when it comes to schools, employees are readily assumed to follow the same schedule as students.

Which – as most see it – means from late May to late August, as students are reveling in the freedom of the summer hiatus so are teachers, administrators and other school system staff mem-

An already-completed summer project at HISD was the installation of new artificial turf in the HERD barn at the Whiteface Stadium fieldhouse complex.

While students in HISD may be spending their

vacation thusly, for staff and the district as a whole, that is only a

memory from youth.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second in a series of stories previously published in the BRAND that address questions and concerns raised by officials and citizens over a proposed new civic center in Hereford.

This entry from Nov. 8, 2017 deals with appraisal of the land to be purchased for the new center’s site.)

Although not publically visible, plans are moving forward concerning a new community center in Hereford.

However, before spade can turn dirt, there are several administrative hoops that must be cleared.

The first – and arguably most important to the project – is currently underway with a result expected as soon as this month.

The city unveiled plans for a new 24,000-square foot, $6.7 million community/civic center during the July meeting of the Hereford City Commission.

Caviness announces expansion, additional shift From Contributed Sources

AMARILLO – Caviness Beef Packers, headquartered in Amarillo, is announcing plans to expand its beef facility in Hereford to enable the addition of a second harvest and processing shift.

This expansion will bring 600 additional jobs to the facility and enable Caviness to process an additional 800 head per day, bringing the total daily capacity to 2,600 head.

Construction for this project will begin in Oc-

tober with completion expected to be in early fall 2019.

“Caviness is excited to expand its processing capacity at our Hereford plant. This location has been good to us and we have filled a need through the years. It is where it all started over 55 years ago in 1962, and we have been fortunate to be able to see continued growth,” Caviness CEO Terry Caviness said.

“The Texas Panhandle is a vibrant cattle region PLEASE SEE CAVINESS | 3

Walcott Independent School District (WISD) has announced its 2018-19 policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for children served under the attached current income eligibility guidelines.

Each school/site or the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by anyone on request.

Starting Aug. 27, WISD will begin distributing letters to the households of the children enrolled in Walcott ISO about eligibility benefits and any actions households need to take to apply for these benefits.

Applications also are available at Walcott ISD, 4275 Hwy 214, Hereford, TX 79045.

The following criteria will be used to determine a child’s eligibility for free or reduced-price meal benefits: Income – Household income that is at or below the income eligibility levels.

Categorical or Automatic Eligibility – a Household receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); or Food Distri-

2. Amount, frequency, and source of current income for each household member.

3. Last four digits of the Social Security number of the adult household member who signs the application or, if the adult does not have a Social Security number, check the box for “No Social Security number.”

WISD is working with local agencies to identify all children who are categorically and program eligible.

WISD Business Manager

Leslynn Arfsten will notify the households of these children who do not need to complete an application. Any household that does not receive a letter and feels it should have should contact Arfsten at 806-289-5222.

Any household that wishes to decline benefits should also contact Arfsten.

Applications may be submitted anytime during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may also be verified by the school officials at any time during the school year.

Under the provisions of the free and reduced-price meal policy, Arfsten will review applications and determine eligibility.

Households or guardians dissatisfied with the Reviewing Official’s eligibility determination may wish to discuss the decision with the Reviewing Official on an informal basis. Households wishing to make a formal appeal for a hearing on the decision may make a request either orally or in writing to Bill McLaughlin 806-289-5222.

The mix of additional cattle to be harvested will come from regional ranchers and dairies, as well as area feed yards.

“We have good opportunities to further diversify and expand our higher end beef product offerings,” Caviness president Trevor Caviness said the expansion provides “good opportunities” for further company diversification and expansion into higher-end beef product offerings.

“Companies are only as good as their people, and we are fortunate to have many talented folks on our team,” Caviness Human Resources Director Allen Hare said. “We

look forward to bringing people up from within the organization as well as adding new talented team members. We will have many job opportunities coming on the horizon.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS FAITH – a dictionary definition reads (1) unquestioning belief, specifically in God (2) a particular religion (3) complete trust or confidence. Another definition I once heard says “faith is a firm persuasion, based on hearing”.

With these things in mind, we can see how we might have faith (belief, trust) in any message that we might hear….even if that message is false.

When we read the bible, we have to have faith that it came from God. And, the past two weeks, we showed that indeed God gave his message to the prophets of old, to Christ himself, and to the Apostles. Now, if someone does not believe that the bible came from God, then likely he/she won’t believe anything that we might teach from the bible.

The bible tells us that God’s word is truth (John 17:17). It is his words that men spoke as he gave them utterance.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Romans “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. Romans 10:17. There is no other way to have biblical faith.

In Ephesians 4:5, Paul also wrote that there is one faith. In I Corinthians 3:9-12, Paul wrote “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ”.

The 11th Chapter of Hebrews is sometimes called the faith chapter. In this chapter, the readers are reminded of examples of faith of their elders (forefathers). In verse 2, the author says “for by it (faith) the elders obtained good testimony”.

In verse 6, the writer also states “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him”.

We understand that the message from God has come to us through men, but the words they spoke came from God Himself. In I Corinthians 2:3-5, Paul wrote “I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God”. It is the gospel of Christ, the message of the cross that is the power of God. Romans 1:16, I Corinthians 1:18.

Studying God’s word will build and strengthen our faith. CALL OR TEXT to ask about our study for individuals, or small groups. If you don’t have a bible, we will give you one.

BOND: FROM PAGE 1

term options.

“I have been asked why we are doing this?” Blankenship said. “It’s for the students. It’s all about educating students.

“The 2017 bond failed, but we did not fail.

Schools were talked about more then than in a long time. I call that a win. The people are talking about us. We took advantage of that. By listening to people, we have come up with a proposal based on that.”

The proposed $22.4 million bond is effectively half of the failed 2017 $45 million measure and will specifically address safety and security issues at several campuses, as well as a new fieldhouse at Whiteface Stadium under a section called “Athletics.”

In specifically noting use of post-vote surveys and community comment from 2015 and 2017, Blankenship said the new proposal is based on items the community showed an interest in supporting.

Of the $22.4 million total, $16.4 million is earmarked for safety and security – and some structural – upgrades at six HISD campuses – Aikman Elementary, Bluebonnet Elementary, Northwest Elementary, West Central Elementary, Hereford Junior High (including Hereford Preparatory Academy) and Hereford High School.

The specific alloca-

Prior to casting votes on whether to call a bond for November, HISD trustees were given presentations by, above, HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship on bond details, and, below, district architect Lenora Ask on what work will be done. Trustees were also given bond term options by HISD financial consultant Vince Viaille.

BRAND/John Carson

Tierra Blanca Elementary allowed officials to modestly address previous bond needs of an early childhood development center, renovation of Tierra Blanca and closing of Stanton, which will happen when Tierra Blanca reopens to start the 201920 school year as HISD’s new home for pre-K and Head Start.

However, Blankenship quickly added dedication of those funds had come during a 12-year span, and that was time the district did not currently have.

“Our needs are still present,” she said. “Facilities continue to deteriorate, and costs continue to rise – a minimum of 5 percent annually.

“This bond is just the beginning. It just touches the surfaces of our needs.

tions run from a low of $330,000 at West Central to nearly $4.9 million for HJH and HPA. The remaining $5.7 million will go to construction of a new fieldhouse, as well as concession stand and restroom improvements, at Whiteface Stadium, and additions at the school’s baseball, softball and tennis venues.

Despite 2015’s $42.6 million bond being more soundly defeated than 2017’s 60 percent “no” vote, Blankenship touted the district’s commitment of $18.2 million from its fund balance for facility repairs and renovations.

In fact, the current $4.7 million renovation of

Our needs are very, very deep. That is needs – not wants.”

Although trustees did not decide up a length for the bond, they were presented a pair of funding options by Viaille, who is managing director of Specialized Public Finance.

A 15-year bond would come with an estimated interest rate of 3.55 percent with a total payout of just more than $29.5 million on the $22.4 million measure.

Additional taxes (I&S) would amount to 14.7 mils – 14.7 cents per $100 valuation – or $109.90 per month on a $100,000 house with homestead exemption.

While the overall tax (12.3 mils) is lower with the 20-year option, the interest rate is estimated at 3.83 percent and the payback is $32.76 million – more $3.25 million than the 15-year term.

District IV Trustee and board secretary Carolyn Waters – a former HISD educator, long-time trustee and bond supporter – is the only trustee to sit on the board through that will be three bond elections.

After watching the first two decidedly fail, she believes the confluence of events and circumstances could lead to success.

“I believe we, as a board, have shown that we are using our available money wisely on repairs,” Waters said. “We are emphasizing the bottom line that is it’s all for the students.

“The needs are there, and they are more than obvious.”

SUMMER: FROM PAGE 1

To put it simply, summer vacation has pretty much been anything but for a lot of HISD this year.

“School may be out for students and most of the HISD staff, but there are many who are busy preparing for the 2018-19 school year,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “We are busy maintaining and improving facilities, as well as providing for and participating in professional learning opportunities.”

THE ARMADILLOS HAVE EMERGED IN NASHVILLE

The Outlaw phenomenon produced powerful music and everlasting bonds between Nashville and Texas. Willie and Waylon, Bobby Bare, and Kris Kristofferson demanded and got greater creative freedom and the movement was real—not just a marketing term, but a creative flowering, a confluence of art and revelry, whiskey and poetry.

APPRAISAL:

MENUS

FROM PAGE 1

ment of Public Safety building and Amarillo College (AC) campus, the construction site is currently owned

by AC, and the project’s future effectively rests on the AC Board of Regents approving sale of the property to the city.

Per state law, once regents approve the sale – which can only be from one taxing entity to another – the price is set at the fair market value based on an outside appraisal.

According to AC Hereford campus director Daniel Esquivel and AC Board of Regents member Michael Kitten, regents have given their thumbs up on the project and the appraisal process is proceeding.

While Kitten, who is a non-voting member of the board representing the Hereford campus, said the issue was in board attorney Mark White’s “court” on getting an appraisal and no timetable had been set, Esquivel was more specific.

“At this point, we are waiting for the appraisal to come back,” Esquivel said.

“It has been done and is just awaiting final approval.

Once we get the appraisal back, we will present it to the city.

“We should be getting the appraisal back by the meeting later this month – at the latest, it should be next month.”

City officials have been saying since plans were first made public they were ready to roll on the project and were only waiting on AC officials to clear hurdles concerning the property.

Having worked on plans for almost a year, Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna and architect Greg Billman showed renderings of the new facility to commissioners when it was proposed.

“The current community

center is aging and obsolete,” Hanna said. “We are exploring and are probably going to build a new civic center adjacent to Amarillo College on West 15th Street.”

Nearly 25 percent larger than the current community center on East Park Avenue, the proposed center will feature two large meeting areas, four smaller meeting rooms, kitchens, a scullery, office space for Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) and an outdoor courtyard space with fireplace and elevated stage.

The larger meeting rooms are designated as a ballroom and banquet room, respectively – each with its own kitchen – with the ballroom capable of seating 150-175.

The banquet room has a maximum capacity of 450 and can also be divided into three separate rooms.

“We wanted to create spaces to reach out to the region for use,” Billman said. “The theme of the building plays into the agricultural and historical heri-

Kids Corner

tage of Hereford.”

The building’s exterior will have a roofing material that closely resembles the corrugated tin historically used for roofing in the area, and the entrance will be constructed to resemble a barn.

A main corridor – wide enough for event booths and wired for Internet accessibility – will feature sky lights in addition to electric lights and have high windows, which Billman said would allow the facility to emit a glow for after-dark events.

“It’s really pretty cool,” Hanna said. “It is almost twice as big as the current facility and will ultimately cost half as much to heat and cool.

“We tried to match the exterior to Amarillo College to a degree, but also have a historic Hereford theme.”

The design also incorporates green spaces outside the building and purposely ties into designs at Amarillo College.

One of the city’s selling points for the center to the

college was its potential uses by AC as its Hereford campus continues to grow – most immediately in providing parking relief.

“Amarillo College could make good use of it,” Hereford Mayor Tom Simons said. “It is important they can use of it. It would really help them.

“I think there are enough good things in it for AC to agree to sell the land to us.

It will complement AC in appearance and give it a bigger presence.”

Hanna has previously said the city would flip the switch on the project once a land appraisal is presented.

If the city can purchase the 15th Street property, Hanna added it would take 18-24 months for the center to be built and open.

The $6.5 million price tag of the new facility will come at additional expense to city taxpayers.

According to Hanna, $4 million in unencumbered city funds and $2.5 million from HEDC’s $5.2 millionplus fund balance will be used to pay for the project.

Community

CANYON – The Center for the Study of the American West (CSAW) at West Texas A&M University, will have its first collaboration with Amarillo College for a screening of classic western films this month.

The films will be John Ford’s 1956 “The Searchers” on Aug. 22, and John Huston’s 1960 “The Unforgiven” on Aug. 23. The screenings will take place at 7 p.m. at Amarillo College’s Concert Hall Theater.

Each will be preceded by a brief introduction by CSAW director Alex Hunt and followed by a panel discussion that will encourage audience participation.

“We have had many well-attended events in Canyon,” Hunt said, “but it seems like time for CSAW to put on an event in Amarillo. Collaborating with Amarillo College to watch and discuss these great westerns seemed like a perfect summertime event.”

Both “The Searchers” and “The Unforgiven” are set in West Texas. Produced during the early days of the Civil Rights movement, they reflect the social anxieties about race and justice of their day against the historical screen of the Comanche and Kiowa frontier.

“With Westerns by two great directors, John Ford and John Huston, and stars like John Wayne and Burt Lancaster, you can expect action,” Jay O’Brien, an Amarillo rancher and panel participant, said. “But both

of these movies have drama and emotional conflicts related to race and the hardships of the West. These are not normal cowboy and Indian movies.”

WTAMU historian Bryan Vizzini, also on the discussion panel, added “‘The Searchers’ and ‘The Unforgiven,’ along with director John Ford’s earlier ‘Stagecoach,’ arguably established the template for the modern Western (as well as its later, revisionist updates) as a reflection of uniquely American ideals and conflicts.”

In addition to CSAW, the event is supported by WTAMU’s Department of English, Philosophy and Modern Languages, Department of Communications and Department of History, as well as AC’s Matney Mass Media Program and departments of English and Social and Behavioral Sciences.

WTAMU’s Cornette Library also is a sponsor and secured the screening rights to the films.

“With all the great support from WT and AC and strong interest from the community, I’m confident we will have a nice turnout,” Hunt said. “And given these films, I’m sure there will be lively discussion.”

CSAW was founded in 2016 with the mission of fostering interdisciplinary study of the West at WTAMU and to promote the relevance of western studies in the community.

For more information, contact CSAW director Alex Hunt at 806-6515230 or ahunt@wtamu. edu.

Tip of the Day A guide to safely removing fallen leaves

Raking leaves is a chore many people immediately associate with autumn.

Even though raking seems like a simple activity, it’s still possible to be injured while removing leaves from the yard.

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center advises that pain from outdoor leaf chores can range from strained back muscles to twisted knees. Blisters on the hands and sunburn are other potential side effects. Many people do not realize that raking is a thorough cardiovascular workout. Individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease or those who have recovered from surgery may not be well enough to rake leaves.

Here’s how to make autumn leaf removal more of a breeze when the job is done safely. · Pay attention when using a leaf blower. Be cautious not to point an operational blower in the direction of people or pets, as debris can be blown about and cause injury. · Stretch out before raking leaves.

Warm up muscles beforehand so they are less likely to cramp. UPMC experts suggest taking a short walk prior to raking to stimulate circulation. · Use proper raking form. Much like snow shoveling, one should emphasize proper posture when raking, with legs slightly bent and weight distributed evenly. Hold the rake handle close to the body and keep one hand near the top of the rake for better leverage. · Use the proper gear. A leaf rake fans out like a triangle and comes in various widths. Choose a lightweight material

that can be easily maneuvered. A metal rake is for stones and dirt and shouldn’t be used for leaves. To get between bushes, a smaller version of a leaf rake, called a shrub rake, should be used. · Wear protective gear. When raking or leaf blowing, protect your eyes against debris. You also may want to use a mask to prevent inhalation of leaf mold and other particulates. Gloves can protect hands from blisters. · Follow manufacturers’ directions.

Read the instructions for powered leaf blowers, and never modify the device in an unauthorized way. · Use a tarp and lift wisely. Rake leaves onto a tarp that can be dragged to a garbage pail or to the curb for municipal pick up.

For those who must lift bags of leaves, do so by bending at the knees, not from the waist. · Wear sunscreen.

Protect skin from the sun. Even though temperatures are cooler in the fall, this does not mean the sun’s rays are any less harmful. Also, take breaks to rehydrate frequently. · Use a secure ladder. When removing leaves from gutters, be sure the ladder is sturdy and secure. Consider having a friend serve as a spotter, holding on to the ladder to offer greater security. Do not overextend to stretch for leaves.

If at any time during leaf clean-up you feel sharp or dull, incessant pains, stop working. Listen to your body’s signals and start the task anew the next day or when you feel better.

Whiteface netters crank up schedule From Staff Reports

Ramping up the scale of competition in preparation for a stout weekend tournament, the Hereford Whitefaces extended a win streak before starting a losing streak, then snapping it in a big way this week.

Play in a hectic preschool schedule began Monday with what was essentially a warm-up match against former District 3-5A foe Palo Duro.

Doing what they were expected to do, according to Hereford coach Cody Crouch, the Herd blitzed the Dons, 19-0, to push a win streak to four and improve their mark to 6-1.

The Whitefaces jumped into the fire Tuesday with a pair of matches in Lubbock.

The win streak went by the wayside in Tuesday’s morning match at Lubbock Cooper, 7-12, in a five-hour marathon where the Herd was in position to win.

With history showing winning doubles – especially with a victory at No. 1 girls – is the path to team match success, the Whitefaces were in that position with a 4-3 lead heading into singles play.

In addition to Aubrey Schueler and Ally Hubbard posting a 7-6, 6-0 win at No. 1 girls, the tandems of Victoria Betzen-Klarise Hill (7-6, 6-4) and Liddy Flood-Kamille Hicks (6-4, 6-1) completed the Lady Whiteface doubles sweep with wins at Nos. 2 and 3,

respectively.

Kevin Nguyen and Macy Warlick eked out a mixed doubles win, 7-6, 7-6.

The lone Whiteface doubles win came at No. 1 where Tommy Villalovos and John Ferris teamed up

to take the match, 6-2, 6-0.

“Both of the things we needed to have happen in this match happened,” Crouch said. “In the end, Cooper just played better singles on this day.”

Of the 12 singles match-

Herd’s Tommy Villalovos recorded two of the Whiteface’s three wins in a 3-16 loss at Lubbock Monterey on Tuesday.

ups, the Herd only won three with all coming at the bottom of the respective lineups.

Ferris was the only Whiteface singles winner with a three-set victory at No. 6, while Hill won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5 for the Lady Whitefaces and No. 6 Macy Warlick took her pro set 9-7.

Although the Tuesday matches were scheduled five hours apart – 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. – the morning marathon allowed barely 30 minutes to travel to and take on Lubbock Monterey.

“Monterey is a very good team and will be one of the top teams in 5A Region 1,” Crouch said. “We didn’t have a lot of gas left after the morning match, and we were playing a better team.

“I though the kids did a good job of still putting up a fight and giving what they had left. This would have been an easy match to lose 0-19 and get on the bus to get home, but that isn’t what they did.”

Coming up on the short end of a 16-3 final, the Herd did have some bright spots in Tommy Villalovos and Hicks.

Villalovos teamed with Kevin Nguyen for a 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 1 boys doubles before posting an 8-4 victory at No. 1 boys singles.

Hicks recorded the lone girls win in taking the No. 4 singles match 8-2.

Back in Lubbock at Monterey on Wednesday, the Whitefaces tangled with Abilene Cooper and

Whiteface freshman Luis Avila battled back from a set down and 7-9 deficit in a third-set tiebreaker to win at No. 4 singles against Abilene Cooper.

BRAND/John Carson snapped their two-match slide with an 11-8 win.

“Unbelievable win for us,” Crouch said. “[Abilene] Cooper has knocked us out of the playoffs twice

by scores of 10-1 and 1-3, so it was extra special to get the win.”

News/Sports Renew awareness on road as '18-'19 school year nears AUSTIN – As the new school year begins, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) cautions Texans to slow down in school zones, and to be aware of children walking to and from school or waiting for buses.

Drivers should be especially alert and careful around school buses – which make frequent stops – and always follow traffic laws regarding school buses and school zones. The start of the school year also generates an increase in overall traffic in many areas, and drivers should take extra precautions.

“With school districts across Texas returning to classes in the coming weeks, DPS is urging drivers to slow down and be alert in school zones and wherever children are present,” DPS Director Steven McCraw said.

“Motorists who disregard the law and illegally pass stopped school buses put our schoolchildren in harm’s way – and that reckless and irresponsible behavior will not be tolerated by DPS.” The moments when students are entering or exiting the bus can be one of the most dangerous times during a child’s trip on a school bus. Accordingly, DPS reminds drivers to reduce speed and be aware that children may unexpectedly step into a roadway without checking for oncoming traffic.

State law requires that drivers stop when a bus is stopped and operating a visual signal – either red flashing lights or a stop sign. Drivers should not proceed until the school bus resumes motion; the driver is signaled by the bus driver to proceed; or the visual signal is no longer activated.

Luis Avila had rallied from a 4-6 first-set loss to take the second, 6-3, at No. 4 boys, while Hicks went to the extra frame after splitting 6-3, 4-6, at No. 4 girls.

Hicks staved off defeat at 8-9 to win the third set 11-9. The victory clinched the overall match for the Whitefaces.

Putting icing on the cake, Avila fought a pair of match points and came back from

do not have to stop for a school bus that is operating a visual signal if the roadway is separated by a physical barrier or an intervening space.

If a highway is divided only by a left-turning lane, the roadways are not considered separated, and drivers must stop for school buses.

As a reminder, school buses, by law, must stop at all railroad crossings.

Drivers who illegally pass school buses face fines up to $1,250 for the first offense.

For individuals convicted of this offense more than once, the law allows the individual’s driver license to be suspended for up to six months. A ticket for illegally passing a school bus cannot be dismissed through defensive driving.

Additionally, this offense could potentially include criminal charges if they cause serious bodily injury to another.

a 7-9 deficit to pull it out.

“Great job and composure by the entire team, but especially the senior [Hicks] and the freshman [Avila],” Crouch said.

The week allowed the Herd to hone things up for the annual Top of Texas Tournament this weekend in Amarillo.

Play begin Friday when the Whitefaces took on Dumas and Lubbock and continues Saturday when Crouch expects the tourney to end in a showdown with Pampa – which, along with Hereford, is expected to be ranked among Class 4A’s top 10.

The next home match is Tuesday against Caprock. First serve for doubles will toss at 4 p.m.

Getting vaccinated according to the recommended immunization schedule is one of the most important things a parent can do to protect their child’s health.

Diseases can quickly spread among groups of children who aren’t vaccinated. Whether it’s a baby starting at a new child care facility, a toddler heading to preschool, a student going back to elementary, middle or high school – or even a college freshman – parents should check their child’s vaccination records.
