After recent discussion that saw at least two commissioners appear to favor an increase, the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court opted to keep the county’s property tax rate unchanged for 2018-19. Commissioners approved keeping the tax rate at 53 mils – 53 cents per $100 property valuation – after they had passed an

Chapeau doffed to 1st responders
By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
After a year hiatus, a tradition was renewed Tuesday with an appreciation dinner for area first responders and their families. A variety of local businesses and civic organizations sponsored the event at Hereford Independent School District Administration Building that was designed to show appreciation to first responders for their daily efforts and say a collective thank you from the community. Representatives from all five first-responding entities in Deaf Smith County – Hereford Police Department, Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office, Hereford EMS, Hereford Fire Department and Texas Department of Public Safety – were in attendance. Following presentations to the heads of each department from Eva Mullins, representing the sponsors, each department head doled out their respective awards for top officer, deputy, trooper, firefighter or EMT. Although he presented the award, Deaf Smith PLEASE SEE CHAPEAU | 3

With citizens obviously having little issue or total apathy, the 2018-19 proposed tax rate for the City of Hereford cleared its final hurdle Monday. In a called meeting Monday, commissioners conducted the second of two required public hearings on the proposed tax rate that could easily be redefined as just hearing after no members of the public attend either. The second public hearing clears the way for the board to adopt a city budget and tax rate for 201819. Pending in front of the board is a $10.24 million budget that was figured on the city’s property tax rate of 33 mils (33 cents per $100 valuation) remaining unchanged from the previous year. However, once final Deaf Smith County Appraisal District figures were submitted, the city’s effective tax rate for the upcoming year – the rate needed to generate the same as budgeted in 2017-18 – came out to 31.3 mils. Although Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna and assistant city manager Steve Bartels, the city's budget planners, and other officials did not consider an increase in city taxes, keeping the rate unchanged ran into legal hurdles. Due to state law, because the proposed rate – albeit the same as last year – is higher than the effective rate, the city PLEASE SEE CITY | 10
Suspected shooter surrenders to HPD From Staff Reports
Lucio Sifuentes Jr.
After alerting the public about a suspect at-large in the community late last week, Hereford Police Department (HPD) called off its search for an attempted murder suspect. Authorities had no reason to look for the man alleged to have fired shots at a Hereford police
officer after he turned himself into authorities without incident. HPD has officially notified the public Friday that 33-year-old Lucio Zavala Sifuentes Jr. was being sought after a Deaf Smith County warrant was issued for his arrest on attempted capital murder and other charges stemming from a Sept. 7 incident. According to a HPD press re-
lease, HPD Officer Andrew Johnston, a five-year veteran officer, had stopped a male subject around 3 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 7 in the 200 block of Avenue F. The subject, later identified as Sifuentes, had reportedly walked in front of Johnston’s patrol car – an offense known as pedestrian PLEASE SEE HPD | 4

County Sheriff J. Dale Butler noted the winner was selected by his peers in naming Angel Vialle as Patrol Deputy of the Year. Although a specific recent incident did not factor into the vote for Hereford Police Department Patrol Officer of the Year, HPD Chief Brent Harrison said it was indicative of the service the winner displays on a daily basis. A two-year veteran at HPD with five total years as a police officer, Andrew Johnston took home the award. Johnston was involved in an incident last week where shots were fired at him from close range as he wrestled a gun away from a suspect. The Hereford office of the Department of Public Safety houses a state patrol post responsible for Deaf Smith, Oldham and Parmer counties. Gary Reed was named Trooper of the Year for the post. The Paramedic of the Year award from Hereford EMS went to Rick Shaver.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS If you read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, you will learn about Jesus’ ministry….and you will read about many instances of his encounters with the Jewish leaders. They sought to entrap Jesus with his own words, they sought any way they could to discredit Him, and they desired and plotted how they might kill Him. For you to know of some of the encounters Christ had with the Pharisees, the Herodians, and the Sadducces, you are encouraged to read Matthew 22:15-46. And while you are there, go ahead and read Chapter 23. Christ is speaking the multitudes and His disciples about the scribes and Pharisees. His tone is not flattering.

In both Matthew 21:23-27 and Mark 11:28-33, we read this account: Now when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said ‘By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority’? But Jesus answered and said to them,” I also will ask you one thing which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John- where was it from? From Heaven, or from men?” And they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘If we say From Heaven, He will say to us, why then did you not believe him? But if we say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet.’ So they answered Jesus and said, ‘We do not know’. And He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” Of course we know that Jesus’ authority came from God. John 12:44-50. On another occasion, Jesus is speaking to the Jews. “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you-Moses, in whom you trust. For if you believed Moses, you would believe in Me, for he wrote about Me. (Duet 18:15,18). But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” John 5:45-47. Finally, you should read the entire account of John 10:19-41. I will quote part of this beginning in verse 24: Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, ‘how long do you keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me”. Vs 37: “If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe in Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in him”. When Peter preached to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost, he began with these words: Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know – Him being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified , and put to death. They had killed the Christ, our Lord, the Son of God. Next week, we will look at what Christ said about confession, and two examples of those who believed, but would not confess him, and why they would not. JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

Protect yourself against charity fraud
Charity fraud is a devious crime that victimizes both donors and the people and organizations who rely on donations to get by. Such fraud is more common than many people may know, and the people perpetrating the fraud may surprise prospective donors as well. In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general in all 50 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit against four cancer charities they accused of scamming consumers out of more than $187 million. The lawsuit alleged the groups used sophisticated, deceptive accounting schemes to defraud donors and make their charities appear larger and more efficient than they actually were. So while it’s easy to assume all perpetrators of charity fraud are shady criminals acting alone on the other end of the telephone, donors should know that charity fraud can be perpetrated by sophisticated businessmen as well. Donors concerned about charity fraud can protect themselves and the money they have earmarked for charitable donations in various ways. · Request written information. Sophisticated fraud operations are successful because they make concerted efforts to appear as legitimate as possible. So a willingness to provide written information and brochures does not necessarily mean a charity is lawful. However, an organization’s unwillingness or inability to produce such information is a telltale sign of a fraudulent operation or one that may be unorganized and unable to meet its mission. Steer clear of such organizations. · Request and/or order tax returns. In the United States, copies of certain returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service by charities and nonprofits are available for pur-
chase from the IRS. Many reputable organizations may share their tax returns with prospective donors, but donors who want to exercise due diligence can order the documents themselves. · Check a charity’s rating. Since 2001, Charity Navigator has examined tens of thousands of nonprofit financial documents in an effort to develop an unbiased, objective and numbers-based rating system for charitable organizations. Prospective Donors can access these ratings free of charge as they look to make more informed and intelligent giving decisions and avoid being victimized by fraudulent or dishonest organizations. · Never feel pressured to donate. Solicitors or fundraisers of reputable organizations are discouraged from pressuring prospective donors for donations. Telephone or in-person solicitors who employ pressure tactics when seeking donations are very likely affiliated with fraudulent or incompetent organizations. Charity fraud victimizes donors and the people and organizations they seek to assist. Prospective donors should take time to properly vet charities before making their donations.

Trevizo rides off with Fish Day
From Staff Reports
Hauling in the only catch to measure more than 24 inches, Jose Trevizo took home the top prize at Community Fishing Day at Josserand Aquatic Park on Sept. 8. The event is sponsored bi-annually – in May and September – by Texas Junior Anglers and Hereford Recreation Department. In addition to providing an opportunity for families to spend time together fishing, the event is also a competition as youngsters vie for trophies and prizes in age divisions and overall. A total of 185 youth anglers were on hand as 13-year-old Trevizo emerged on top with a catfish that measure 24¼
inches. For landing the longest fish, he rode off with his championship trophy in hand on a new bicycle. His catch easily out-measured that of age-division runner-up Antoinette Gonzalez, 13, who biggest catch was 21 1/8 inches. The closest challenge to Trevizo’s winner came from 10-year-old Elijah Trevizo, who won the 7-11 age group with a catch of 23¾ inches. Taking second in the 7-11 division was Damaris Guerrero, 11, with a fish that measured 22½ inches. The tightest competition was provided in the 6-under age group, where Noah Enriquez beat out fellow 6-year-old J.J. Bravo by an eighth of an inch.

Friends of Jane food drive underway through Sept. By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
A helping hand In maintaining its mission of community service, the Hereford Lions Club continued a long-time tradition with the construction of an entry ramp to a home on West Second Street. Lions taking part in putting the ramp into place included Carey Black, Kevin Knight, Larry Alley, designer and builder Roberto Bribiesca, Steve Veredeveld, Max Veredeveld, Ruben Coronado and Manuel Coronado. The Lions club extends appreciation to Allen Wright at Top of Texas for bending metal for the project and Mitch Reeve for making a commemorative plaque. Contributed photo
COUNTY:
The second “Friends of Jane” memorial food drive benefiting Hereford Food Pantry is being conducted by First United Methodist Church (FUMC) of Hereford through the month of September. Jane Eggen served as a volunteer and leader at Hereford Food Pantry for many years. She was also a long-time member of Wesley United Methodist Church and more recently First United Methodist Church of Hereford. Her death two years ago left a hole in the congregation and community. Friends who mourn the loss of her personality and heart are honoring her memory through the “Friends

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.

Lady Herd streak ends at Bushland From Staff Reports
Hanging in, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces could not quite get over the hump Saturday in a 3-0 loss at Bushland in non-district volleyball action. The loss snapped a sixmatch winning streak for the Lady Herd, who dropped to 12-18 on the
season but have still won six of their last seven, seven of the last nine and nine of the last 12 after a 3-15 start. The Lady Whitefaces were all three sets, but came up just short in each – dropping the first 23-25, second 21-25 and third 25-27. PLEASE SEE VB | 10
Kamille Hicks, left, and Liddy Flood, right, are unbeaten in District 3-4A play at No. 3 doubles (2-0), while Hicks is also 2-0 at No. 4 singles. BRAND/John Carson
Less-than-perfect netters tree Cubs, 15-4
From Staff Reports
Carmen Flood led the Lady Herd’s 36-kill attack Saturday with 13, but the team also had 26 hitting errors in a loss at Bushland. BRAND/John Carson
Not putting together their best day, the Hereford Whiteface tennis team still did what it needed to do Tuesday in a 15-4 win at Brownfield in District 3-4A play. The win was the sixth in the last seven matches and eighth in the last 10 for the Herd, which improved to 15-5 overall and 1-1 in league play. “They have a great coach
and are a great program, but they are also a 3A school,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said. “It’s nice to get a win and even the district record, but overall we didn’t perform very well.” Reclassified from 4A to 3A, Brownfield dropped into a district where no other school fielded tennis teams. That – coupled with Hereford being placed into a 4A district with Canyon, Lev-
elland, Lubbock Estacado and Lamesa, but Estacado and Lamesa do not play tennis – permitted the UIL to allow Brownfield to play up a classification to fill 3-4A into a four-team district eligible for the postseason. Regardless, the Herd was in the process of taking control of the match when they emerged from doubles with a 6-1 lead. The top two boys tandems of Nicky Villalovos-
Kevin Nguyen and Tommy Villalovos-Jacen Saenz closed their matches with 7-5 wins in the second set as No. 3 duo – Luis Avila and John Ferris – completed the sweep, 6-3, 6-1. Rallying from a 5-7, firstset loss, the No. 1 girls team of Aubrey Schueler and Ally Hubbard won the second, 6-2, before falling in the 10-point tiebreaker, 11-9. PLEASE SEE TENNIS | 10
