Hereford Independent School District

In the first official report grade on student academic accountability doled out to state school systems by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Hereford Independent School District (HISD) was average. TEA released preliminary accountability ratings and assessed grade to school systems last week for the first time as part of an academic accountability measure passed two years by the state legislature. Virtually identical to previous ratings – with the exception of the letter grade – HISD would have taken a step back from last year and another back from two years ago were it not for problems experienced with online testing during April STAAR tests. Although receiving just a “C” grade, HISD was deemed as “met standard” for the 2017-18 school year with an overall district score of 77. Like 2016-17, all but one HISD

The final obstacle has been cleared and plans for Hereford’s new civic center are moving forward after the Amarillo College (AC) Board of Regents approved the sale of property during its January meeting. The future of the proposed center hinged on acquisition from AC of 6.2588 acres where it is to be built. The land is adjacent to the AC West 15 th Street Hereford campus between it and the Department of Public Safety building. With state law requiring public entities to sell land to other public entities at appraised market value, the Hereford City Commission unanimously approved an ap-

County greases budget process, OKs raises, insurance By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

PLEASE SEE CENTER | 3

Although it took longer than expected, the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court gave approval to a pair of issues earlier this month that allowed the pro-

verbial grease to be put the county’s budget process. Although Deaf Smith County Judge D.J. Wagner noted he and county auditor Trish Brown had “worked” and “tweaked” the initial budget before presentation, the overall process had reached a

bit of a bottleneck pending final numbers. The final numbers needed were whether to include a raise for county employees and the exact amount of the annual health insurance premium. Both items were topics of a budget workshop that

opened the court’s Aug. 14 regular meeting. Commissioners had little problems approving an across-theboard, 3 percent raise for county employees despite a dissenting PLEASE SEE COUNTY | 5

praised price of $218,000 for the property at its January meeting. Also at that meeting, commissioners appeared to jump the gun a bit when they approved the solicitation of construction bids on the center before purchase of the site was officially agreed upon. However, Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna explained that as an effort to make sure ducks were in a row to hit the ground running when sale approval was received. “We weren’t going to do anything on bids until we had confirmation of the sale,” he said. “We just wanted to get that done, so we could get the ball rolling when [the sale] was approved.” He added AC had “agreed to the price” and all were “waiting to close.” In addition to local and regional advertising soliciting bids, Hanna said the project is also going to be posted in the “Dodge Review,” a contracting industry publication. With contractors already making inquiries into the project, Hanna said the city is hoping to get four bids from which to choose. “You can interpret that contact in several ways,” he said. “It could be an attractive project. I believe they are looking for business. I know they need it. “I don’t talk to them. I send them straight to the engineers.” When completed, the new $6.7 million center will be 25 percent larger than the current Hereford Community Center’s 18,000 square feet on East

Park Avenue. Plans for the almost 25,000 square-foot facility 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 a fireplace and elevated stage. The larger meeting rooms are designated as a ballroom and banquet room – each having 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. The building’s exterior will have a roofing mate-

rial that closely resembles the corrugated tin historically used for roofing in the area, while 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 allowing the facility to emit a type of 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

DEAF SMITH COUNTY PUBLIC HEARING In accordance with Section 152.905 of the Texas Local Government Code, a hearing will be held on September 11, 2018, at 9:30 am, on the 3rd floor courtroom in the Deaf Smith County Courthouse in Hereford, Texas, to allow parties in interest and citizens an opportunity to be heard concerning the 2018-19 annual compensation to be paid to the Deaf Smith County Auditor and 222nd Judicial Court Reporter.

NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS HAVING CLAIMS AGAINST THE ESTATE OF ADELINE SCHUMACHER LOERWALD, DECEASED Notice is hereby given that Original Letters Testamentary upon the Estate of Adeline Schumacher Loerwald were issued to Dolores Loerwald Brorman and David Edmund Loerwald, as Independent Co-Executors on the 20th day of August, 2018 , in Cause No. PR2018-05523, Estate of Adeline Schumacher Loerwald, deceased, pending in the County Court of Deaf Smith County, Texas, are hereby required to present the same to said Independent Co-Executors 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.

theme.” In addition to the outdoor courtyard – which is between the ballroom and banquet room – the design includes exterior, landscaped space that can be used for events. A commons is designed to separate the AC and center parking lots and will include underground electrical wiring. Hanna added the $6.7 million cost of the pro-

block of Irving Street. Aug. 21 Hindering secured creditors was reported in the 300 block of East Sixth Street. Aug. 22 Criminal trespass was reported in the 300 block of Avenue H. An incident report was taken in the 100 block of West Park Avenue. Assault was reported in the 2900 block of East First Street. Aug. 23 Criminal mischief was reported in the 200 block of West Eighth Street.

posed facility will come from a combination of city and HEDC financing while making a point city taxpayers would not incur any of the costs. Officials specifically planned and designed the facility to tie into the Amarillo College campus. In addition to exterior design elements that ties into the college, the design includes a link between the college and facility parking lots to help ease parking problems at AC while providing sufficient parking for large center events. The center design includes a covered drop-off and pick-up area and 252 parking spaces. Hanna is eyeing at letting construction bids around the first of April, but quickly added that was “ridiculously ambitious” and would probably happen in early May. Ground is expected to be broken in June with an 18-24 construction process expected, officials said.

Pesticide class offered Aug. 30 Training for private applicators of pesticides is scheduled in Hereford on Thursday, Aug. 30, at the Nita Lea building, 903 14th St., according to Rick Auckerman, County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources. The class will be offered for agricultural producers and interested individuals who want to obtain a private applicator pesticide license.

Training will begin at 9 a.m. and end about 1 p.m. Those with questions or wanting to sign up to take the class should call the local Extension office, 3643573. For details, contact Auckerman at 806-364-3573 or r-auckerman@tamu.edu.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS By my count, the words repent, repentance, repented, occur 110 times in scripture. This seems significant to me because today….we rarely hear anything at all about repentance in any sermon or teaching. Repentance means a change of mind….or said another way, to change a course of action. Those who repent turn from one way of conduct to a different way of conduct. Because of sin, sorrow causes a person to repent….and repentance leads to a reformation of life. You can see this thought expressed in II Corinthians 7:9-10 Prior to the birth of John the Baptist, the angel of the Lord said this about John “And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God”. Lk 1:16. Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist spoke by the Holy Spirit, and said this about John in Luke 3:76-77 “And you child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins”. Mark 1:14-15 reads “Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying ‘the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel’.” Shortly before Christ ascended to God, he said to his apostles, “thus it is written and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:46-47 When the apostle Paul was preaching to the men of Athens regarding the Unknown God, he said “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent”. Acts 17:30 When Peter preached to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost, he told them they had killed the Son of God. When these men asked what they could do, Peter said “Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…”. Acts 2:38 Repentance is an action that is required by God, and it should still be taught today. A person must desire to turn away from sin, and turn to a life of obeying God. This is a conscious decision after hearing God’s word, and it requires continued effort to stay away from sinful actions. Remember, God is not willing for any to perish, but that all should come to repentance. II Peter 3:9 If you want to know more about God’s word, call or text one of the numbers below.

News Local Work Group elects to stay conservation course By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The Deaf Smith County Local Work group elected to stay the course on conservation program allocations after a needs assessment during a recent meeting that was part of local work group meetings being hosted across the state. The Tierra Blanca Soil and Water Conservation District and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service hosted the local meeting, attended by roughly 20 local farmers and ranchers at the Hereford Community Center August 8. Producers expressed a preference that no changes in how funds from initial money from the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) are appropriated locally. Preferred options, mirroring previous years, were 80 percent of funds go toward irrigated cropland, five percent toward dryland farming, and 15 percent go for rangeland projects. Producers and the local NRCS office are awaiting details on the new farm bill in order to know what programs will be available and the shape that they will take. The purpose of Local Working Group meetings is to collect input from farmers, ranchers, local and state agencies, agriculture leaders and organizations, businesses and individuals with an interest in natural resources conservation.

Tip of the Day Clean indoor air can help reduce asthma attacks

Did you know that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 25 million Americans, including roughly seven million children, have asthma? It’s true, and those numbers have steadily risen in recent years. Asthma is more than occasional wheezing or feeling out of breath during physical activity. Asthma is chronic and can lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, fast breathing, and chest tightness, states the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In the 21st century, people spend significant time indoors at home, school or work, and indoor air environments could be triggers for asthma. Improving indoor air quality can help people breathe clearly. The AAFA notes that the following agents can adversely affect indoor air quality, potentially triggering asthma attacks. Farmers, ranchers and local ag leaders recommended that irrigated agriculture continue to have the highest priority during a local working group meeting held at Hereford Community Center Aug. 8. Photo by Jim Steiert tablished processes for local Soil and Water Conservation Districts and NRCS to engage the local community and stakeholders to develop conservation needs assessments to develop local conservation programs and program delivery status. Locally, input was needed to help determine natural resource priorities

and criteria for USDA conservation activities and program planning in 2019. Recommendations from the Hereford meeting and others across Texas are being provided to and reviewed by the State Technical Advisory Committee that advises the State Conservationist on the conservation programs offered by NRCS.

Allergens Allergens such as mold, dust mites, pet dander and fur, and waste from insects or rodents thrive in many homes. Ensuring indoor air quality is high can cut back on the amount of allergens in the air. People with asthma can invest in an air purifier and vacuum regularly, being sure to use a HEPA-equipped appliance. Routinely replacing HVAC system filters can help prevent allergens from blowing around the house. Also, frequent maintenance of HVAC systems will ensure they are operating safely and not contributing to poor indoor air quality. Mold can be mitigated by reducing moisture in a home. Moist environments in the kitchen and bathroom may promote mold

growth. Ventilation is key to keep mold at bay. Tobacco smoke Thirdhand smoke, or THS, may be unfamiliar to many people. A 2011 report published in Environmental Health Perspectives says THS is an invisible combination of gases and particles that can cling to clothing, cushions, carpeting, and other materials long after secondhand smoke has cleared from a room. Studies have indicated that residual nicotine levels can be found in house dust where people smoke or once smoked. Studies have indicated that smoke compounds can adsorb onto surfaces and then desorb back into air over time. Keeping tobacco smoke out of a home can improve indoor air quality and personal health. VOCs Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases released from commonly used products. These can include paints and varnishes, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, new furniture, and new carpet. People with asthma may find that VOCs can trigger attacks. Airing out items, reducing usage of products that are heavily scented and choosing low- or no-VOC products can help. Making cleaning products from baking soda, vinegar and liquid oil soap also can keep indoor air quality high. Homeowners who plan to renovate their homes can consider using the appropriate specifications for HVAC systems to promote good indoor air, as well as address any other potential problems that may be compromising indoor air quality.

vote. In voting against the pay increase, Precinct 2 Commissioner Jerry O’Connor made his annual plea “for the little guy” in raising concerns over the pay discrepancies and ultimate unfairness of such acrossthe-board pay hikes. The gist of O’Connor’s annual stand is that although the raise amount is identical, workers in higher pay grades will receive a more substantial bump than those who are paid less. The lower-paid worker, O’Connor said, is the one who usually needs a raise the most, but ends up getting the least overall increase – while prices for consumer goods and services continue to raise. Commissioners approved the 3 percent by a 3-1 vote with O’Connor dissenting – again pointing out he was not against

giving employees a raise, but was not in favor of the inequities that can result. Insurance became a more time-consuming matter as commissioners heard a pair of options from local insurance agent B.J. Gililland, who represents both potential county insurers. For a second consecutive year, commissioners were presented the possibility of changing companies to become fully insured or remaining as a partially selfinsured entity. “The biggest part of our budget is health insurance for employees,” Wagner said. The current, partially self-insured plan has “very generous benefits,” Gililland said, that extends to a prescription plan which will remain at three-tier costs ($10, $20, $40) instead of the six-tier system that most insurance companies are now instituting. The difference between the two essentially came down to just more than $300,000 in potential an-

nual costs difference. If the county remained partially self-insured the maximum insurance premium for 2018-19 would be $1.779 million. Moving to fully insured would drop that premium to $1.474 million, but would also not provide for the opportunity of premium rebates that come from being partially selfinsured. “Your current plan is not in line with most out there today,” Gililland said. “Your benefits are very, very generous.” In addition to a switch removing the chance for rebates, becoming fully insured would increase employee co-pays. If a move were made, the county would also need to set aside more $250,000 to cover claims made to the previous company that were not processed when the change would occur on Oct. 1. “To do our due diligence, we need to look at those numbers before we

spend the people’s money,” O’Connor said. “I don’t think we can make a decision without the numbers. “We’re not looking at comparing apples to apples. I need to see it apples to apples.” Commissioners tabled the issue to receive additional figures and set a called meeting for Aug. 17 to decide the insurance issue. While Wagner admitted the county could not “always pay the best,” it did offer “top-notch insurance” to offset. However, he quickly added the county’s workforce is continuing to get older and health costs keep increasing could make remaining partially self-insured a “real unknown.” At the Aug. 17 meeting, commissioners approved keeping the current partially self-funded insurance plan for 2018-19. The county has until the Oct. 1 start of the fiscal year to have a 2018-19 budget in place.

Lady Herd tops Dumas, ends skid By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Lady Whitefaces Rainey Aven (4) and Carmen Flood (20) put the stop to a Dumas shot during Tuesday’s sweep of the Demonettes. BRAND/John Carson

Playing markedly better than they did just a few days earlier, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces swept aside visiting Dumas, 3-0, in non-district volleyball action Tuesday. The win snapped a 14-match losing streak for the Lady Herd, who won for the first time since the second match of the Mansfield Rotary Tournament that included an 0-8 run through last weekend’s Northwest ISD Tournament. The win moves the Lady Whitefaces to 4-17 on the season. “We played way better than we did over the weekend,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “”Our energy and effort was a lot better. “Hopefully, this can give us some confidence and comfort playing. We were getting it together, then lost it. I hope we can get it back.” The Lady Whitefaces took a 5-0 to open the first set before extending it 8-2 then 24-16 before taking the frame 25-18. Getting three straight points off the serve of Rainey Aven, the Lady Herd extended a 14-13 lead to 18-13 in the second set to provide a bit of breathing room en route to

Lady Herd’s Alyssa Vallejo (23) doles out one of her team-high 18 assists Tuesday. Rainey Aven (4) also finished with 18 assists. BRAND/John Carson a 25-19 win. In the third set, the

Lady Whitefaces methodically built a 10-5 that was

pushed to 19-12 as they closed out the match, 2517. Carmen Flood led the scoring for the Lady Herd with 18 kills, while Taytum Stow added 10. Aven and Alyssa Vallejo shared team assist honors with 18 each. Along the net defense, Bethany Sanchez, Darcy Dodd, Flood and Stow all finished with 2 blocks each. In the backcourt, Bonnie Vallejo came up with 10 digs, while Dodd had 9. Although the season has been running since Aug. 7, the Lady Herd are still incorporating new players into the lineup and rotation, while returnees are making adjustments to new teammates. Foerster is looking for Tuesday’s win to breath new win into the Lady Whitefaces’ sails over the next three weeks before they open District 3-4A play on Sept. 25 against Lubbock Estacado. “We’re still going through some growing pains,” Foerster said. “We making adjustments. People are doing a pretty good job stepping up – particularly our two freshmen (of which, Stow is one).” The Lady Whitefaces closed out the tournament schedule Friday and Saturday at the Lubbock ISD Tournament.

Despite not putting their collective best foot forward, the Hereford Whiteface tennis team continued its run through the early season Tuesday with a 16-3 victory over visiting Caprock. In notching their third straight win, the Herd have now won five of their last six matches to improve to 11-4. “On paper, it looks like a good result, but for a dual, as whole, we didn’t play very well,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “We were a little lethargic and lacked a whole lot of focus. We had enough energy and enough talent to get through with a still convincing win, but I just want us to stay mentally and physically tough for all matches. “This team doesn’t have a goal of making the playoffs. We have much bigger goals than that, and for us to accomplish those goals we have to do the intangibles right every time we step on the court.” The Herd grabbed a lead they would never relinquish during doubles with the lone loss coming in mixed play (3-6, 5-7). Brothers Tommy and Nicky Villalovos teamed up in doubles for the first time this season to post a 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 boys, while John Ferris

and Kevin Nguyen won 6-1, 7-5 at No. 2. John Saenz and Carl Ramos took the No. 3 boys match, 7-5, 6-3. The Lady Whitefaces also swept through doubles play with Aubrey Schueler and Ally Hubbard, along with Victoria Betzen and Klarise Hill, recorded 6-0, 6-0 wins at No. 1 and No. 2. The No. 3 tandem of Liddy Flood and Kamille Hicks finished their match out 6-3, 6-1. In singles play, Tommy Villalovos (6-3, 6-3), Nicky Villalovos (6-1, 6-1), Saenz (6-4, 6-4) and Ferris (6-2, 6-0) won at Nos. 1, 3, 5 and 6, respectively for the Whitefaces. The Lady Whitefaces also swept the Lady Longhorns aside in singles as Betzen (6-1, 6-2, No. 1), Hubbard (6-0, 6-0, No. 2), Hicks (6-0, 6-1, No. 4), Hill (6-4, 6-1, No. 5) and Macy Warlick (6-2, 5-7, No. 6) all won in straight sets. At No. 3, Schueler raced through the first set, 6-0, before dropping the second, 5-7. In the 10-point, thirdset tiebreaker, she took care of Madison Montville, 10-3, for the victory. With District 3-4A play looming on the horizon, the Herd has another chance to make its presence felt on Class 4A courts with a Saturday trip to Seminole, where they will take on perennial regional contenders Semi- Hereford’s Carl Ramos cuts loose with a serve during Tuesday’s No. 3 boys doubles PLEASE SEE TENNIS | 10 win against Caprock.

Texas has all a sandwich needs By Haley Herzog Texas Farm Bureau

What can be served cold or hot and is stacked with layers of Texas-grown foods? Ah yes, the sandwich. It can be savory or sweet. Hearty or light. Crispy, juicy and everything in between. August is National Sandwich Month and what better way to celebrate than taking a bite out of a tasty Texas club? It’s the ultimate lunchtime meal. Plain or sophisticated, sandwiches get their start on farms and ranches. It all begins and ends with a toasty slice of wheat bread.

Wheat is grown all over the Lone Star State, and one bushel of wheat can make 90 loaves of bread. That’s a lot of club sandwiches. Slather creamy honey mustard on the bread. That condiment can be made using honey from some of the finest Central Texas honey bees. Then stack the protein. This step is usually all preference, but the sky is the limit with how high the stack of meat climbs. Add a couple slices of juicy East Texas turkey topped with black forest ham and some crispy pieces of bacon that come from Panhandle pork farmers.

Once meat is stacked, layer the cheese. Did you know that 63 percent of the state’s milk comes from the Panhandle? No sandwich would be complete without the warm, melted, rich taste of sharp cheddar and Swiss cheese. And don’t forget the veggies. Top your sandwich with a piece of fresh South Texas lettuce, couple of ripe East Texas tomatoes and the tangy taste of Winter Garden purple onions. A handful of chips and a pickle slice round out the plate. After all, pickles are a big “dill” in Texas.

nole and Andrews. “This weekend are more big 4A match-ups,” Crouch said. “I was told by a coach that has played us and Seminole that Seminole has the second-best girls team he had seen behind 5A powerhouse Abilene Wylie. I plan on the Hereford girls coming to play that day and teaching them a lesson. “I anticipate the bigger match will be in the afternoon when we play Andrews. Andrews has beaten us the past two years and is a likely second-round playoff matchup for us.” Last season, the Herd had some players miss the bus for the trip to Andrews and subsequently did not play in what was an 8-10 Whiteface loss. Boasting a 2017 statequalifying boy and region 4th-ranked girl from last season, Andrews also returns is Nos. 2-6 lineup on the boys side intact. For the girls, Crouch said Andrews has a “good” player at No. 1 Stepping into the No. 3 girls doubles slot, Liddy Flood joined and “decent” ones at Kamille Hicks in a 6-3, 6-1 victory Tuesday over Caprock. BRAND/ Nos. 2 and 3 before “a John Carson pretty big drop-off.” “I think it will be an ended up No. 7 in the matches we have to win interesting match-up state last year,” he add- if we want to accomplish against the team that ed. “These will be the big things this fall.”
