City budget includes $500K in capital items

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

4-H achievements feted at annual banquet Pages 5-6

One of the distinct highlights of a $10.24 million 2018-19 budget recently presented to the Hereford City Commission is a 3 percent pay raise for city employees. Included in the spending package that was first presented to commissioners during a budget workshop prior to Aug. 20’s regular meeting is more than

$500,000 in capital items for 10 separate city departments. More than $820,000 in capital items were requested by city departments for the upcoming fiscal year, however, Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna and assistant city manager Steve Bartels trimmed just more than $317,000 of that from the presentation. Of the $492,100 originally budgeted and presented for capital items, $322,100 was

The brakes were effectively put to plans for a new civic center in Hereford for the time being as city leaders mull the prospects of putting the issue before the people. The possibility of a vote on the matter was broached by Hereford Mayor Tom Simons during the work session that preceded Monday’s regular meeting of the Hereford City Commission. Although not among the items on that specific meeting’s agenda – and subsequently something on which no action could be taken – the matter was predominantly brought up due to community reaction to plans for the new center. “We have had some pushback,” Simons said. “We don’t want

While the new track at Whiteface Stadium is not yet complete, workers were able to get the asphalt base laid during the past week in advance of Friday's season opener against Caprock. A week earlier, the football field was circled by a ring of dirt during Meet the Herd festivities on Aug. 23. The track is expected to be finished in September with a new surface that is reportedly a Whiteface maroon. HISD photos

to do anything divisive when it comes to spending money. We don’t want to cause any problems. “I think [letting the voters decide] is in the best interest of good will and transparency.” There have been rumblings of discontent in the community about the plan since it was first announce almost a year ago. In addition to residents feeling as if they had been omitted from the decision-making process for the new center, many have raised concerns over its size, cost and location. “I think having a vote is a good idea,” said Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna, who has spearheading the new civic center effort. “It’s the people’s money, and they need to make the call.” However, the money at stake in a potential vote is only a portion of the project’s total cost. Of the $6.5 million budget for the project, $4 million is coming from unencumbered city funds, while the remaining $2.5 million will be taken from the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) fund balance, which the city commis-

In February, the board approved an architect contract for the project. The $400,000 fee for that contract, officials said, is included in the project’s overall budget. Simons said putting the matter to a November vote would only delay the project about six months. Ironically, the city commission is under no obligation to put the issue before voters. According to law, commissioners have the authority to delegate HEDC funds as needed – without additional voter approval. However, between the amount of money being delegated and community backlash on the project, officials opted for the ballot box. “For that amount of money, the people have a right to make the decision,” Hanna said. If receiving its likely approval, a November vote would only be yea or nay on whether $2.5 million in HEDC funding is used. The ballot question will not be a referendum on whether the city should have a new civic center, but on whether some funding will provided for the current plan.

Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed 2018-2019 Fiscal Year Budget The Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) Board of Directors will hold a public hearing on the proposed 2018-2019 fiscal year budget in the board room of the Hereford Regional Medical Center at 540 W. 15th Street, Hereford, Texas on September 13, 2018 at 12:00 PM.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Following the last article about repentance, one lady suggested to me that perhaps many people may not be aware that many of their deeds are identified by God as sinful. Others may not recognize that our sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:1-2). Others may not believe that Jesus is the Christ. Still others may believe that Jesus is the Christ, and that they have salvation because of this belief. In past lessons, I have shown that the words of the bible (Old Testament and New Testament) came from God – men spoke, taught, wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. ( II Peter 1:20-21) (II Timothy 3:16) (John 16:12-13) . Even Christ said “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what I should say and what I should speak……” John 12:49-50. In past lessons, we have spoken about the importance of hearing the word of God, believing it, and being obedient to it. We might remember again the words of Christ “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him – the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day”. John 12:48 Also the words from Revelation 20:12-15 “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire”. In every account of conversion in the Book of Acts, we do not read that people repented of their sins. But, that action is implied from the very message preached by the apostles. Remember that Christ told them that “repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem”. Luke 24:47. These men had to have talked about sin, the consequences of sin, and repentance. In fact, when the apostle Paul was giving his defense before King Agrippa, he said he “declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance”. Acts 26:20. This message is not old and outdated, IT IS NOT NEGATIVE. It is as fresh…. and needed….as much today as it was in the time of Christ. After all, sin separates us from God….and the wages of sin is death. This refers to the second death mentioned in Revelation….eternal separation from God. NEXT WEEK WE WILL DISCUSS CONFESSION.

Tip of the Day Autumn is a prime time to tend lawns and gardens

Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully. A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall. · Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over. · Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. · Clean up borders. Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging. · Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway. · Remove spent summer veggies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas. · Rake and compost. Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. · Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and

other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year. · Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. · Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall. · Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter. · Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. · Prune hedges. Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year. · Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter. Autumn may not seem like gardening season, but there are plenty of lawn and garden tasks to tend to during this time of year.

4-H achievements saluted at banquet By Jim & Kerrie Steiert Contributing Writers

Outstanding accomplishment on the part of youth, their leaders and supporters was recognized at the 2018 Deaf Smith County 4-H Achievement Banquet August 26 at the Nita Lea Building. The top senior 4-H award on the local level, the Gold Star, was presented to Macie Mimms, daughter of Mike and Tamara Mimms, and Cutter Pohlman, son of Scott and Moriah Pohlman. Miss Mimms has completed nine years of 4-H involvement, including projects in Goats, Livestock Judging, Beef, Food & Nutrition and Photography. A Hereford High School student, she has been selected to serve on the TriState Fair Junior Board and as a Texas 4-H Livestock Ambassador. She says 4-H has shaped her personality, drive and ability to help others. With an emphasis on Agriculture and Animal Science, she has earned recognition in the show ring and for her camera work. At the Houston Livestock Show, her wether goat took seventh place. Her ranchthemed photograph was displayed in the Texas State Capitol after being chosen for that honor by the Texas Preservation Board. Macie provided leadership during numerous food and nutrition workshops, as well as showmanship training. During the past year, she was elected Public Relations officer on County 4-H Council and as president of the Livestock Club. She assisted with fundraising for the County 4-H Parents Association. She has served the community through staging bake sales and assisting with shot clinics sponsored by the Deaf Smith Humane Society. Pohlman has been an active member of 4-H for eight years with projects in Beef, Shooting Sports, Meat Science, Livestock Judging, Vet Science and Public Speaking. He says 4-H has enhanced his leadership skills and encouraged him to give back to his community. His goal is to learn more about his projects and use that knowledge as an advocate for agriculture. With Beef his main project, he plans to show registered Angus heifers at nine livestock shows annually from county to national level. He participates in showmanship and educational opportunities, including sales talk, quiz bowl, livestock judging, and Skillathon contests. During the past year, he has served as County Council vice president, president of the Shooting Sports Club, vice president of Showmanship Club, and 1st vice of the Texas Jr. Angus Association. He is a member of the Tri-State Fair Junior Board, Hereford Livestock Association Ambassadors, and mentor/

He has attended leadership labs and run for offices on the local and district levels. He knows his way around the grill and led a workshop for local 4-Hers, sharing the hands-on skills he learned at state Roundup.

Mr. Meador has shared knowledge of swine and lent a hand in the show barn Mrs. Tamara Mimms, president of the Deaf Smith 4-H Parents Association, named Amigos, C&W Equipment, and Clint Savoini as recipients of the Friend of 4-H Award for 2017-2018. Amigos stores are located in four Texas Panhandle communities, including Hereford. Amigos is operated by The United Family®, a Texas-based grocery chain that has 93 stores in Texas and New Mexico under five unique brands: United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos, Albertsons Market and United Express. The United Family is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Albertsons Companies. Amigos of Hereford demonstrates its commitment to the community and its youth through relationships with organizations such 4-H. Jacob Torbert was on hand to accept the award for Amigos on behalf of the entire staff. Mrs. Mimms explained that the local 4-H scholarship, established in 1993 by Jim Marsh and a group of local 4-H Parents, began with the concept of raffling a livestock trailer and limiting each year’s ticket sales to 125. “That innovative concept has allowed the 4-H Parents to award more than $175,000 in undergrad and collegiate scholarships to 81 Deaf Smith County youth during the past 24 years,” she said. “A strong supporter of the Marsh Scholarship program is C&W Equipment. C&W has sold us 14-foot stock trailers at fair prices each year and has regularly purchased raffle tickets.”

During the current year the men and women leading the local 4-H program have a cumulative total of 296 years of service to making the best youth better. The four longesttenured Deaf Smith County 4-H leaders have a combined 119 years of service. In the course of the 2018 Deaf Smith County 4-H achievement banquet, the program took time to recognize those who volunteer and lead in guiding and encouraging youth. “We have adult leaders who so generously share their time and skills with the 4-H program. Their encouragement and wisdom will benefit us throughout our lives,” commented 4-Hers Cutter Pohlman and Veronica Mata while introducing those leaders. Local 4-H leaders recognized for at

Lady Whitefaces overcome slow start, win 4th straight

Juggled lineup bombs Borger

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

From Staff Reports

Looking more like a circus performer than a high school tennis coach, Hereford’s Cody Crouch played fruit basket turnover with his lineup Tuesday in a 19-0 romp past visiting Borger. In winning for the seventh time in the last eight matches, the Herd stretched its winning streak to five in improving to 14-4 on the season. “It was nice to get this match out of the way,” Crouch said. “They are likely to be our first-round playoff opponent this year, so we will probably see them again. “We ended up playing 15 different girls.” The juggling began with doubles where no player played in their original position. Kevin Nguyen and Jacen Saenz took No. 1 boys, 6-0, 6-4, while John Ferris and Luis Avila won 6-1, 6-1, at No. 2.

zen and Liddy Flood joining up to take No. 1, 6-1, 6-2. Ally Hubbard was absent usual partner Aubrey Schueler in winning, 6-1, 6-2, at No. 2, while Kamille Hicks posted a win at No. 3 after lending her usual partner to Betzen. Tommy Villalovos returned to the mixed doubles court and teamed with Lanae Blankenship to post a 6-0, 6-0 victory. In boys singles, Tommy Villalovos took No. 1, 6-1, 6-1, while Nicky Villalovos rang up No. 2, 6-1, 6-0. Nguyen went 6-2, 6-4 at No. 3 with Ferris winning at No. 4 (6-2, 6-0), Avila at No. 5 (8-4) and Saenz at No. 6 (6-3, 6-2). While the Whiteface singles matches ran their along their usual lineup, the Lady Whiteface singles slate was shaken, stirred and blended beyond some recognition. Top two singles players Betzen and Hubbard sat the sets out as Schueler, Klarise Hill and Macy Warlick moved from Nos. 3, 4 and 6, respectively, to 1, 2 and 3 for the day. All three won in straight sets. From there it was new faces. Blankenship took over the No. 4 spot for the day and came away with a 6-1, 6-2 win. Hailey Ysaguirre posted a 6-3, 6-3 final at No. 5, and Siya Bhakta survived a 6-4, 7-6 match to win at No. 6.

Battling back from a bit of a sluggish start, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces found the right trail Tuesday to rally past visiting Plainview, 3-1, in non-district volleyball action. The win was the fourth in a row for the Lady Herd, who have now won five of their last six and seven of the past nine matches to improve to 10-17. “We picked up our defensive effort after the first set,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We made no defensive plays in the first set. “Once we were able to make some [defensive] plays, our offensive players were able to get off the net.” The Lady Whitefaces never led in the first set. Although coming back from a 17-13 deficit to tie the match 17-17, the Lady Herd could not get over the hump in a 23-25 loss. In the second set, the tying rally happened early enough to allow time for the Lady Herd to take control. Crawling out of a 4-1 hole, the Lady Whitefaces tied it at 4-4, then the two teams swapped points until a 5-0 spurt gave the Lady Herd the lead for good at 11-7. The Lady Dogs were able to get within 18-15, but could get no closer as the Lady Herd immediately made it 22-15 before evening the match at a set

apiece, 25-18. A similar start to the third set led to a rout in a 25-12 Lady Whiteface win. Plainview took a quick 2-1 lead and were tied 3-3 when the Lady Herd began running away. The score quickly jumped to 11-5, then 13-8, 16-9 and 19-10 before Rainey Aven took over the serve with the score 20-12 and closed out the set. Although the clincher was closer in the final, the Lady Bulldogs never led as they staved off defeat when they closed from 2213 to 22-17. Swapping a pair of points, Plainview used a 3-0 spurt to trim the deficit to 24-21 before the Lady Whitefaces slammed the door shut. The Lady Herd received a solid performance from its Lady Herd’s Rainey Aven had a team-high front-line of22 assists in addition to 6 kills, 3 aces and fense as three 4 digs in Tuesday’s victory. BRAND/John Carson players finished

with double-digit kills. Carmen Flood led the charge with a season-high 16, while Darcy Dodd and Taytum Stow added 10 kills each. Aven chipped in 6 kills with Beth Sanchez notching 4 and Lacey Davis 2. Aven continued her allaround play by doling out a team-high 22 assists. Alyssa Vallejo was not far behind with 20. Defensively, the Lady Whitefaces came up with 7.5 blocks as Stow was credited with 4, Flood with 2 and Alyssa Vallejo and Aven had 1 each. Bonnie Vallejo paced the backcourt defense with 11 dig of the team’s 29 digs. Dodd added 5 with Danielle Pena and Aven chipping 4 apiece. Aven recorded three of the Lady Whitefaces 5 aces with Flood and Dodd getting the other two. The recent surge for the Lady Herd is in contrast to a 3-15 start to the season that included a 2-6 run through Mansfield Rotary Tournament and 0-8 mark at the Northwest ISD tourney. “We’re getting more acclimated to playing together,” Foerster said. “Our defense wasn’t great, and our energy is still not great. “Still, we’re coming together more.”
