Whether a proposed bond is passed by voters in November or not, Hereford Independent School District (HISD) officials are learning fall is the time to float one if you want to get information out to people.

After seeing bond issues soundly defeated with May votes in 2015 and 2017, HISD has put its third proposal – a $22.4 million measure – on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Unlike a spring election where school is fast approaching the finish line for the year, November elections provide for canvassing efforts when the school year is just coming out of the starting gate.

The result is the coupling of desired public meetings on the bond with annual start-ofthe-year events at individual campuses – and what appears to be an increased interest by the public in seeking details and asking questions about the measure.

All of that was evident Sept. 25 when HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship hosted a bond public meeting that drew more than 100 parents and interested community members as open house at Northwest Elementary School was ending.

“I am not sure that there is more interest [in a bond],” she said.

“It could be because we are utilizing different avenues to get the word out to as many in our community as possible.

“The November election allows us the opportunity to use a wide variety of venues to get the word to all.”

One of those venues has nothing to do with a November election, PLEASE SEE HISD | 3

Challenger looks to reshape political landscape

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

When it comes to elections for a county or city office, most of the campaign rhetoric is about issues ranging from taxes, budgets and roads to civic centers and new jails.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS In the past few weeks, we have had lessons regarding hearing the word of God, belief or faith, repentance, and confession. All of these things are works, and they are required by God. Today we will begin a study on another work….baptism. The importance, or the need for baptism is not universally agreed upon by men.

The Greek word Baptizo is a derivative of the word Bapto. Bapto means dipped or immersed. Some examples of where we might see the word bapto are Lk 16:24, Jn 13:26, Rev 19:13. Baptizo means (1) to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (2) to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one’s self, bathe . To my knowledge, all of the examples in the New Testament that discuss baptism come from the Greek word baptizo, and never from the Greek words cheo (pour) or rhantizo (sprinkle).

In Jeremiah Chapter 1, we learn that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah. Verse 9 says “Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: Behold, I have put My words in your mouth”. This makes what Jeremiah spoke in Jeremiah 31:31-34 important. The LORD told Jeremiah that the days are coming when He would make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

In this new covenant, the LORD said “I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more”. This is significant because under the Law of Moses, there was knowledge of sin, but no forgiveness. See Romans 3:20.

Regarding John the Baptist, it is written “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”. Luke 1: 76-77. This had been prophesied in Isaiah 40:3.

And John did go before Christ, to prepare the people (the Jews) for His coming. “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 in the River Jordan, confessing their sins”. Mark 1:1-5 NEXT WEEK: we will continue the study of baptism. You will be interested in the instructions that Christ gave to his Apostles shortly before he ascended to heaven. And, you will be interested in the words of the first gospel message to be taught by Peter.

If you would like to know more about God’s word….but you don’t know how to begin….CALL OR TEXT one of the numbers below. If you don’t have a bible, we will give you one.

ELECTION: FROM PAGE 1

– with public life through employment with the water district, Hernandez has been conspicuously absent from Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court meetings throughout the entire 2018 campaign season.

While running unopposed in March’s Democratic primary, Hernandez has purposely not attended meetings – despite admission she needed to learn what things the court was confronting – because of perceptions of county government that are reportedly rampant.

“I am too outspoken for the current court,” Hernandez said. “I am going to ask questions and want to know why? If I attended a meeting, that is what I would have to do. I don’t want to raise a ruckus. “[The commissioners court] seems to have been so corrupt for so long.”

Hernandez seeking to address the politics landscape in the county was further emphasized when she listed the top issues facing Deaf Smith County as the November election looms.

Not broaching the subjects of road paving and repair, housing costs for inmates, purchasing plans for equipment or even the pending prospect of a bond issue to construct a new jail, Hernandez tabbed “the public” and “elected officials” as the two biggest issues facing the county.

“I have worked with the public,” she said. “It is hard to please all of them.

There is no way you can.

To deal with that, if a situation is right, deal with it and move on. You want

In terms of elected officials, they are not responsive enough to the people. Too many of them seem to take their direction from and are influenced by outside sources.

Hernandez appears to be taking a non-traditional approach to getting there.

Facing an uphill battle from the outset as a Democratic challenger to an

incumbent Republican in a Texas Panhandle that is bluer than Paul Bunyan’s ox, Hernandez is planning to run a low-profile campaign.

Other than yard signs and door-to-door canvassing of voters, she said her campaign has no specific events scheduled before election day on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Early voting for the Nov. 6 general election opens for two weeks on Monday, Oct. 22.

With voting outside the

county clerk’s office on the second floor of Deaf Smith County Courthouse, polls will open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. from Oct. 22-Wednesday, Oct. 31, then from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 1-2.

News Practice makes perfect Right, EMTs with Hereford EMS move in to tend to a “victim” after firefighters from Hereford Fire Department had secured the overturned vehicle and extracted the injured person from the vehicle.

The scene was part of a recent disaster drill simulating a tornado touching down at HISD Administration Building. Representatives from Hereford Regional Medical Center, Hereford Police Department and Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office, as well as members of regional first-responder organizations, took part in the exercise last month that saw, below, medical personnel set up triage area for injuries in the front parking lot of the HISD building.

Tip of the Day How to manage relocating for a new job Moving can be a considerable undertaking. While working professionals who are single or married with no children may find it easier to move than men and women with families, it’s fair to say that anyone who is moving in the near future has some significant work ahead of them.

In its Job Relocation Survey, the moving company Allied Van Lines found that people move for a variety of reasons. Fifty percent of the 3,500 respondents indicated they relocated for career advancement or money, and many more indicated they relocated because of a job transfer (12 percent), their companies moved (9 percent) and to be closer to family/relationships (8 percent).

Regardless of what’s motivating men and women to relocate, and whether or not they’re relocating on their own or uprooting their families, various strategies can make a forthcoming move go more smoothly. · Inquire about relocation assistance. The Allied survey found that 63 percent of companies offered relocation packages. That’s a considerable perk, as moving can be expensive, especially for adults moving to different parts of the country. Asking about relocation expenses before being offered a job can be tricky, but some companies may mention such packages in their job ads or in their initial meetings with out-of-town candidates. · Ask what relocation packages cover.

Relocation packages vary from company to company. The Allied Survey found that 54 percent of companies that offered such packages covered moving expenses, while 21 percent gave new hires a lump sum of money to use as they deemed necessary.

One in five companies even sponsored trips to search for homes. Adults who are offered relocation packages should get the specifics so they can start creating moving budgets.

· Emphasize organization. Much of the stress associated with relocating can be traced to the logistics of uprooting oneself and one’s family. Men and women who are unaccustomed to making lists may want to start, as doing so can help keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before hitting the road. Various unique tasks, from canceling utilities to changing insurance policies, must be completed before moving, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done and what hasn’t. Maintaining a to-do list and checking off tasks as they’re completed can simplify the relocation process. · Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier.

In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage. Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.

Relocating for a job can be exciting and stressful. But there are ways to make moving go smoothly.

In a match that was not as close as its 3-0 final, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces continued separating themselves from most of the district with a Tuesday sweep of visiting Levelland in District 3-4A volleyball action.

In winning their fourth straight, the Lady Herd improved to 17-20 overall and 3-0 in league play with five wins in the last six matches and 11 in the past 14.

“We did a good job,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We kept our energy up for the entire match, and our momentum was good.

“That was good. We’re still a bit up and down because the maturity is still coming along.”

Unlike last week’s home district opener against Lubbock Estacado where the Lady Herd appeared to play down to the level of their opponent as the match progressed, there was no such appearance Tuesday.

Keeping the Loboettes from consistently scoring consecutive points, the Lady Whitefaces extended a 5-1, first-set lead to 22-7 on the way to a 25-8 win. Continuing to add balance to the Lady Whiteface scoring atThe Loboettes took their tack, Darcy Dodd (24) winds up to slam home one of her 8 kills BRAND/John Carson only lead of the match, in Tuesday’s sweep.

Acosta went to the service points only once in the “I am so proud of the line for the Lady White- third set, the Loboettes way everyone responded,”

Foerster said. “Levelland is a good team. We played well. We did a good job of stepping up. Our defense played well, especially in the backcourt.

“The crowd also did a great job. They really helped to energize us and keep the energy up.”

The Lady Whitefaces continued its balance offensive attack as Carmen Flood led the 34-kill effort with 10.

Darcy Dodd added 8 kills, while Taytum Stow and Rainey Aven chipped in 7 and 6, respectively.

Beth Sanchez was credited with the final 3 kills.

After doling all the team’s assists in Saturday’s win at Lamesa, Alyssa Vallejo got some help this match, but still managed a team-high 23 assists.

Aven finished with 10, and Stow had 3.

The defense started at the net, where Stow led a 7.5-block effort with 3.

Sanchez, Flood, lacey Davis and Aven also recorded blocks.

The backcourt defense came up with 40 digs that were spread among eight players.

Bonnie Vallejo kept up her team-leading pace with 14 as Danielle Pena added 8 and Alyssa Vallejo 7.

Aven and Stow came up 3 digs each, while Dodd and Acosta had 2 apiece.

Herd netters cage Cubs, tighten playoff grip From Staff Reports

Coming off back-to-back losses to top 10 teams, the Hereford Whiteface tennis team got back on the winning track in grand fashion Tuesday with a 19-0 romp past visiting Brownfield in District 3-4A play.

In snapping a two-match skid, the Herd has still won four of their past six matches and 12 of the last 15 to stand 18-7 overall on the year and 3-2 in league play.

“We played incredible,” Hereford coach Cody Crouch said.

“When we were full strength earlier in the season, we didn’t play so great and beat them 15-4. We had two kids out in this one and ended up win-

ning 19-0.

“We have let some matches slip away this year and not won 19-0 when we should have. I am very happy with the effort Tuesday.”

The only worry in the match came at No. 1 boys singles.

Battling back from a 4-6 loss in the first set, Whiteface Tommy Villalovos survived a 7-5 second set before coming out on top in the 10-point tiebreaker, 10-8.

The remainder of the singles and doubles matches were all straight-set Whiteface wins.

Nicky Villalovos had no problems at No. 2 (6-3, 6-2) with John Ferris (No. 3, 6-3, 6-0), Luis Avila (No. 4, 6-2, 6-1), Jacen Saenz (No. 5, 6-2, 6-4) and Daniel Martinez (No.

6, 6-2, 7-5) also winning.

The Whitefaces lost only 9 game combined in sweeping the three doubles matches – 6-1, 6-4 at No. 1; 6-1, 6-0 at No. 2; and 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3.

The Lady Whitefaces did the same in their doubles matches, while Lanae Blankenship and Adrian Marquez teamed to win mixed doubles, 6-3, 6-2.

Lady Whitefaces Kamille Hicks and Liddy Flood – who teamed to win at No. 2 doubles – each won their respective No. 3 and No. 6 singles matches 6-0, 6-0.

Top singles Victoria Betzen improved to a team-best 38-7 on the season with a win at No. 1 doubles and 6-0, 6-1 singles win.

“Aubrey Schueler stepped

up in this match,” Crouch said. “She lost both her matches (singles, doubles) to Brownfield last time we played. This time, she won them both in straight sets.

“Overall, I could not be happier with the performance from the entire team.”

The Herd does not play again until they close the regular season on Thursday, Oct. 11 when they entertain Levelland.

With the only two district losses to front-running Canyon, the Whitefaces are tightening their grip on the runner-up spot and No. 2 playoff seed.

The tennis postseason begins with the Bi-District playoffs on Oct. 15-16.
