What has become a bubbling political issue for the City of Hereford is reaching a full boil after the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) Board of Directors refrained from offering any approval or even endorsement of plans for a new civic center at a called meeting Wednesday. In fact – based on questions, concerns and comments raised by board members at the meeting – the HEDC board would prefer to be as far removed from the process as possible. “I am worried about what people will think of the HEDC board if [the civic center question] is on [November’s] ballot,” HEDC board member Sally Noyce said. “I want HEDC’s name removed from the question.” Noyce and fellow board members John Perrin and Keith Bridwell expressed a number of concerns over the proposed new center while also interrogating city officials on the matter during an agenda item where the board was to PLEASE SEE CENTER | 5

In the early chapters of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we can read about the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 1, we can read about a priest named Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth. They had no children because Elizabeth was barren. In verse 13, an angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias, to tell him his prayers had been heard – Elizabeth would bear him a son, and his name would be John. After John was born, Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he prophesied about John, saying “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 (the Jews) by the remission of their sins”. Luke 1:76-77. Matthew 3:1-2 tells us “In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, ‘Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ ”. Mark’s account in Chapter 1:4-5, says “John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins”. This then is the beginning of the new covenant that was spoken of in Jeremiah 31:31-34; there the Lord God said He would make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah…..and in this new covenant, He would forgive them their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Read these verses for yourself. The Gospel of John 1:1 reads “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. This is speaking of Christ. In verses 10-11, we read “He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own (the Jews), and His own did not receive him”. For the most part, the Jews (and especially the Jewish Leaders, the very people who should have known about Christ through the teachings and prophecies of the Old Testatment…..rejected Him. In doing so, they also rejected the promise of the New Covenant….the forgiveness of their sins….which is only available through Christ. Last week, I said we could talk about confession. Stay tuned, we will get to that. In Romans 1:16, Paul wrote “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek”.

CENTER: FROM PAGE 1
give perfunctory approval that $2.5 million of HEDC funds be used to help pay for the $6.5 million facility. The matter, which was originally addressed in April, had been tabled at the previous two HEDC board meetings. What should have been a simple “yea” or “nay” question quickly turned into a commentary of community concerns on the project. “Is this the best use of HEDC funds?” board president Cody Chandler said. “Is $6.5 million the total price? Is now the best time to do it? “These are all things I have heard from the community.” Much of board reticence to the plan revolved around community input in the design process and whether the proposed center fits the needs of the overall community. “Citizens want to see a comparison between repairing the current community center and a new one with more multi-purpose uses,” Noyce said. “Something like the [county] Bull Barn has been mentioned. “We need a building to encompass more of the community needs.” Questions and concerns raised unfortunately il-
lustrated that board members were uninformed on the situation because all of the information sought had been made publically available by the city and detailed in numerous published reports during the past year. “We gathered community and current-user input to use in planning the new facility,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “The groups are a smorgasbord of the community. “I don’t want to argue with you. The decision should be up to the citizens. It’s their money.” A major sticking point for Perrin, Noyce and Bridwell was that plans for the new center did not include a facility akin to the Bull Barn. A design of that nature was more acceptable to the board because it would fill more community needs. However, such a facility concerned city officials with Deaf Smith County citing need for a new bull barn facility. “The Bull Barn has been an issue since we started planning this,” Hereford Mayor Tom Simons said. “The county hasn’t moved forward. I don’t want to do anything to interfere with their plans. “We even offered them land at the Sportsplex for it, but it has not progressed. We’re a couple of years into this and need to do something.”
Perrin also raised concerns over the new center meeting guidelines that would allow HEDC funds to be used. Hereford City Attorney Audie Sciumbato assured the board the center’s tieins with Amarillo College through facility usage, secondary education and job training were “defensible.” Hanna proposed the new center in July 2017 after more than two years of preliminary work with engineers, architects, county elected officials, current center users and community members. Some 25 percent larger than the current community center, the facility features two ballrooms with the largest designed to match comparable community banquet rooms, a courtyard with stage and outdoor fireplace, additional meeting rooms, office space and corridor widths to accommodate booths for festivals. According to the proposal, the facility would come at no additional cost to taxpayers with $4 million of the $6.5 million total coming from unencumbered city funds and the final $2.5 million from HEDC’s almost $10 million fund balance. While the Hereford City Commission is legally allowed to allocate HEDC funds as needed – per guidelines – city officials have expressed a desire
to put the matter of using HEDC funds to a vote after admitted community “pushback” to the idea. Despite objections and questions raised, HEDC board members were most concerned with potential wording of a referendum should the city move forward with a November vote. The proposed question would ask voters – yes or no – if $2.5 million of HEDC funds should be used for a new civic center. “The question should be do you want a new $6.5 million civic center – up or down,” Chandler said. Noyce, Perrin and Bridwell agreed with Noyce again stating a preference for HEDC’s name to not be connected with the question. Hanna explained the proposed question is essentially asking the same thing. “If the vote fails, we won’t do the project,” Hereford Mayor Tom Simons said. “What seemed like a good idea to spur the community and give us a new place has become a political hot potato. “City money is tax money, but there is no tax increase to [build the center]. The HEDC funds are there. There is no new money used, and the community gets a new facility. We’ve been saving money for a long time.” The HEDC board again
tabled the matter. The Hereford City Commission will meet on a rare first Monday of the month, Aug. 6, per its regular schedule. The first Monday meetings of each month are usually cancelled. Among the items on the agenda is a call for a referendum be added to the Nov. 6 general election ballot concerning the use of HEDC funds for the civic
center. The commission has until Aug. 20 to meet state deadline for including items on the November ballot. HEDC is a public entity under jurisdiction of the Hereford City Commission. While HEDC revenues are derived from taxes, all its funds are generated through sales tax – not property taxes.

Fundraising is one of the primary ways charitable organizations meet their operating costs and fund their missions. Fundraising has come a long way since the days of direct mailers, cold calls and door-to-door solicitations. According to the charitable giving resource Fundable, crowdfunding is a method of raising capital through the collective efforts of different individuals, be it family, customers, friends, or private investors. This method of fundraising taps into a large pool of people, and funds often come in several small donations rather than a handful of large contributions. Crowdfunding and social media now go hand-in-hand. Individuals tasked with crowdfunding can use social media platforms to quickly and easily increase their exposure. The ability to streamline fundraising efforts is something many people find appealing about crowdfunding. Each of the steps involved in advertising and collecting funds are housed within one online platform. Many people turn to crowdfunding to raise money for medical bills, nonprofits and disaster relief charities. But the opportunities are endless. While crowdfunding sites are a key way to raise capital, users should recognize some of these services cost money. Many involve plans where the site collects fees or a percentage of the money raised. According to the crowdfunding resource Crowd Crux, platform fees are the main way that crowdfunding sites make money. Typically anywhere between 5 and 10 percent is collected based on the type of campaign. Free platforms are available; individuals just need to do their research and recognize that, while free platforms may not charge fees, they may be
gathering email addresses or other personal information. As crowdfunding becomes more mainstream, people should realize that newer options continue to pop up. GoFundMe has long been one of the largest and most wellknown crowdfunding platforms, but many others are gaining a foothold. Whether the goal is interface customization, low fees, customer service, or producing coordinating merchandise, these other options can be worth investigating.

Fast start fades for Herd netters By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
Freshman Taytum Stow (10) and junior Darcy Dodd (24) have stepped up to help lead the Lady Whitefaces to a 9-2 record in their last 11 matches. BRAND/John Carson
Lady Whitefaces keep climb going
From Staff Reports
Sparked by a strong performance from freshman Taytum Stow, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces made the trip home enjoyable Tuesday when they swept host Dumas, 3-0, in non-district volleyball action. In winning their sixth straight, seventh in the last eight matches and going 9-2 in the past 11, the Lady Herd improved to 1217 as they rebound from a 3-15 start. The Lady Whitefaces flexed their muscle early in takin the first set, 2514, before holding off a Demonette rally and taking control of the match with a 27-25 victory in the second. They completed the swept and headed home after winning the third set, 25-19. Stow led the way offensively and defensively for the Lady Herd as she paced a 26-kill attack with a teamhigh 10.
She also paced the net defense with a career-high 7 blocks. Carmen Flood filled her stat sheet with 7 kills, 5 blocks and 3 digs. Darcy Dodd added 4 kills, while Beth Sanchez and Rainey Aven chipped in 2 each. Aven helped the scoring by doling out a team-high 13 assists. Alyssa Vallejo finished with 11. The Lady Whiteface frontline defense was working with 17 blocks recorded. In addition to Stow’s 7 and Flood’s 5, Sanchez and Lacey Davis had 3 each, and Dodd knocked down 2. In the backcourt, Bonnie Vallejo led the defensive effort with 10 of the team’s 34 digs. Danielle Pena added 7 digs as Dodd finished with 6. Alyssa Vallejo and Aven joined Flood with 2, while Sanchez had 2. The Lady Whitefaces are back in action Saturday when they travel to Bushland for a noon match.
A fast start and hopes of an upset fizzled Thursday as the Hereford Whiteface tennis team fell to visiting Canyon, 8-11, in the District 3-4A debut for both teams. The loss snapped a fivematch win streak for the Herd, who have won five of the last six and seven of the last nine to stand at 14-5 overall and 0-1 in league play. “You have to give [Canyon] credit,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “We came out fast and won four first sets in doubles, but could only finish one of the four matches. We fell behind and fought back in singles, but it takes 10 matches to win a team match. On the night, we won 10 first sets. “You have finish matches when you take an early lead if you want to beat the best teams in the state.” The Herd took one-set leads in all three girls doubles, as well as mixed doubles, but saw them vanish in s 1-6 blitz at No. 1 and 6-7 losses at No. 2 and mixed. The No. 3 girls team of Kamille Hicks and Liddy Flood fought off an 0-2 first-set deficit to claim the Herd’s only doubles win, 6-2, 6-2. “Liddy Flood doesn’t get a lot of mention because she doesn’t play singles, but she and Kamille Hicks did what they have done all year,” Crouch said. “I feel like I can count on them to get a win at No. 3 in most team matches.” After the Whitefaces were swept in doubles – 3-6, 0-6 at No. 1; 1-6, 2-6 at No. 2; 4-6, 1-6 at No. 3 – they did not fare much better in singles. The lone singles wins for the Whitefaces came in nailbiter, tiebreakers at Nos. 5 and 6. Both Luis Avila at No. 5 and Jacen Saenz at No. 6 won their first sets before endured secondset losses to set up a 10-point tiebreaker. Avila outlasted Ethan Taylor and Saenz did in Kolby Rutkowski in identical 10-8 finals. “Their boys team is top notch,” Crouch said. “With the exception of one match, I thought this was the best we had played as a boys team this year. “We only won two of nine matches, but if these boys continue to grow, improve and show up like they did in this match, they can help us go a long way this year.” Singles was a different story for the Lady Whitefaces, who saw their top four
Both Luis Avila at No. 5 singles, left, and No. 6 Jacen Saenz, right, lost one-set leads before rallying to each win 10-8 in tiebreakers to provide the only Whiteface victories in nine boys matches of Thursday’s District 3-4A debut against Canyon. BRAND/John Carson doubles players rebound to win. Despite a doubles loss, sophomore Victoria Betzen pushed her team-best individual record to 28-4 with a 6-2, 7-5 win at No. 1 singles, while Aubrey Schueler took No. 2, 6-3, 6-1. Ally Hubbard rallied from a 3-6 loss in the first set to force a tiebreaker that saw her come out on top, 10-6. Hicks doubled up after winning at No. 3 doubles with a singles victory at No. 4 after opponent Kenzie Leonard retired trailing by a set and down 0-1 in the second. Klarise Hill posted a 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 5 after dropping a No. 2 doubles tiebreaker with Betzen. The lone Lady Whiteface singles loss came at No. 6 where Macy Warlick dropped a tight one, 5-7, 4-6. “The competitiveness and character of the kids, as well as the community support shown for them, at this match will be memorable for me for a long time,” Crouch said. “We will have another district match with them in a few weeks, and hopefully, we will see them in the playoffs. “This is just the beginning.” The Herd encounter their first district road match Tuesday when they take on Brownfield before returning home Saturday to host Dumas in a non-district match. Losing a one-set lead in dropping the match at No. 1 girls doubles, Lady Whiteface Ally Hubbard rebounded to win her No. 3 singles match. BRAND/John Carson

Dad-Fest revs it up Cars from classic to hot rods to racers, as well as motorcycles and pick-ups, were the center of attention during Nazarene Family Church’s second Dad-Fest celebration in June. It makes sense that was the case since the event is centered around a judged car show that this year included the opportunity to cruise Hereford. Above left, J.J. Beltran and Tiffany Taylor of Hereford get a closer looks at the specs and work done a classic Camaro. Above middle, Viviano Alejandre helps a buddy gets his Chevelle looking spiffy as the judges begin their tour. Above right, if cars, bikes and trucks weren’t your thing, the celebration also featured plenty of food and other activities as 12-yearold David Fuentes discovers during a round of 9-Square. Right, there were some muscles flexed during the Dad-Fest car show as a Mustang, 1960s SS Chevy Nova and 1960s Corvette get some BRAND/John Carson sun.
One of the most-unique entries in the Dad-Fest show was this 1953 Jaguar owned by H. Wayne White of Hereford. BRAND/John Carson
