Bond or not, facilities' future murky

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

HFCU officially cuts ribbon on new facility Page 3

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the last in a series taking a more in-depth look at a $22.4 million bond issue Hereford Independent School District has called for the Nov. 6 general election. This installment looks at the future of HISD facility concerns if the bond passes or if it fails.)

Some may look at Hereford Independent School District’s (HISD) hopes concerning its $22.4 million bond issue as officials effectively putting all their eggs in one basket.

In floating a third bond measure after previous ones were soundly defeated in 2015 and 2017, HISD has gone to great lengths to craft its current bond package – as well as the accompanying dissemination of information to increase

attention and interest – with past failures, reaction from the past two bond elections and an eye on getting the district’s first bond measure approved by voters since 1972 as guidelines.

The result is the $22.4 million package that is divided into two sections – safety and security, and athletic improvements highlighted by construction of a new fieldhouse at Whiteface Stadium.

Fiscal realities have resulted in members of the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court to raise questions over a recently approved plan to turn over each precinct’s fleet of tractors.

During the court’s Oct. 9 regular meeting, Precinct 2 Commissioner Jerry O’Connor voiced concern over the tractor lease program similar to the plan approved last year to replace the county’s motorgrader fleet.

“I not against the plan, but I’m not in favor of it right now,” O’Connor said during a specific agenda item to reconsider the lease agreement. “I know I have other expenses [in Precinct 2].

“I think each precinct has the money in their budgets to least a tractor.

Maybe we can revisit this in a year.”

As with the graders, the plan calls for the annual turnover of four tractors per year over the four county precincts under a three-year lease.

Also like the grader deal, the plan effectively turns the county’s entire tractor fleet over every three years.

Although admitting his favors the same deal for tractor – and having voted in favor of it – O’Connor had trepidation after taking a closer look at the program and current county fiscal situation.

A bevy of budding bovine boosters crowded the hardwood to receive instruction in cheering techniques and skills from current Herd varsity cheerleaders. The highlight of the camp did not take place during the two-hour Thursday session, but on Friday, Oct. 12 when campers had the opportunity to join Whiteface varsity and JV cheerleaders on the sidelines to help lead cheers during the third quarter of the game against San Angelo Lake View.

The young cheerers accomplished their mission as the Herd rambled to a 56-7 victory.

Early voting opens 10-day run Monday

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

If Halloween is drawing ever closer, Thanksgiving is on the nearing horizon and Christmas is fast approaching, then it tis the season to cast ballots.

Early voting for the Nov. 6 general election opens Monday for a 10-day run at Deaf Smith County Courthouse.

Usually outside the County Clerk of Court’s office on the second floor of the courthouse, early voting has been moved to the first floor for this election

due to repairs to the courthouse elevator.

In what has become a favorite among the electorate, early voting will start Monday and run daily from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. between Oct. 22 and Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Hours will be extended for the final two days with the poll open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 1-2.

Those wishing to follow the more traditional route can cast their ballots on election day – Tuesday, Nov. 6.

For the first time after its lo-

cal trial in the March 6 primary, the county-wide polling place program allows registered voters to cast their ballot at any of the county’s four official polls.

Prior to this year, voters had to cast ballots at the poll in the precinct or district where they resided.

With county-wide voting centers, votes can be cast at any county poll – Aikman Elementary, Deaf Smith County Courthouse, Hereford Junior High School and Hereford Community Center – on election day from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Someone once told me that they were saved because they believed in Christ. The verse they cited for me was Romans 10:9. We will discuss that statement and chapter another day. But today, let us see what the bible has to say about belief in His name.

John 1:11-13: He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor or the will of man, but of God. In these verses, we can plainly see that those who believed in His name were not automatically children of God, but that they had the right to become children of God…if they were born of God. In the third chapter of John, Christ was talking to Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews. In verses 3 , Christ said “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”. Nicodemus answered as we might: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born”. Verse 5: Jesus answered, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God”.

Showing off the new digs Hereford Texas Federal Credit Union (HFCU) showed off its new Third Street facility on Oct. 18 with a ribbon cutting through the Deaf Smith County Chamber of Commerce to officially relocate HFCU’s membership. Above, HFCU CEO Brenda Fuentes does the honors in snipping the ribbon after, right, Hereford Hustlers chairman Bobby Fite, left, presented Fuentes with a certificate recognizing HFCU's past and continuing contributions to the community.

Theft was reported in the 200 block of Greenwood Street.

Failure to comply with requirements for striking an unattended vehicle was reported in the 200 block of Juniper Street.

Criminal mischief was reported in the 200 block of East Park Avenue.

Oct. 18 Failure to comply with requirements for striking an unattended vehicle was reported in the 400 block of Ross Avenue.

To be born of water is baptism, and this is described in Romans 6:3-4, 6: “Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized in Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Vs 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin”. Christ died a physical death and was buried, but God raised him again. In baptism, we die to sin, and are buried, and raised cleansed of our sin, to walk in newness of life. When we are baptized, the blood of Christ cleanses our sins. See also Acts 22:16 – Paul’s baptism.

God’s instructions for men came through the Holy Spirit. John 14:26, 16:13.

What these apostles spoke and wrote came from the Holy Spirit. For us, we would not know about this new birth, without the word of God. I Peter 1:2223 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever. Simply put, bor n of the Spirit is obeying the instructions that came from the Spirit.

I hope you will study these verses in your bible. If you have questions or comments, CALL OR TEXT to one of the numbers below.

“We remain optimistic at this time that the data used when putting this bond package together shows we listened to the voters as to what they would support.”

Las papeletas oficiales para las elecciones se prepararán de acuerdo con el Código Electoral de Texas, a fin de permitir a los electores votar “A FAVOR” o “EN CONTRA” de la PROPUESTA anterior y dichas papeletas incluirán las disposiciones, anotaciones y lenguaje que la ley exige, y cuya PROPOSICIÓN quedará expresada esencialmente de la manera siguiente: ELECCIONES EXTRAORDINARIAS DEL DISTRITO ESCOLAR INDEPENDIENTE DE HEREFORD PROPUESTA “A” DEL DEI DE HEREFORD

) ) _____

A FAVOR

_____

EN CONTRA

) )

LA EMISIÓN DE BONOS POR EL DISTRITO ESCOLAR INDEPENDIENTE DE HEREFORD POR UN VALOR DE $22,400,000 PARA LA CONSTRUCCIÓN, ADQUISICIÓN, REFORMAS Y EQUIPAMIENTO DE EDIFICIOS ESCOLARES DEL DISTRITO, LA COMPRA DE TERRENOS PARA EDIFICIOS ESCOLARES Y LA COMPRA DE AUTOBUSES ESCOLARES, Y EL GRAVAMEN DE IMPUESTOS PARA EL PAGO CORRESPONDIENTE.

) )

El lenguaje de la propuesta que aparecerá en la papeleta está expresado en la sección 13 anterior. El propósito para el cual se autorizará la emisión de bonos está expresado en la sección 12 anterior. La cantidad de capital de las obligaciones de deuda a ser autorizada es de $22,400,000. Si los electores aprueban la emisión de bonos, el Consejo de Administración estará autorizado a gravar anualmente impuestos ad valorem sobre todas las propiedades sujetas a impuestos en el Distrito, suficientes, sin límite en cuanto a la tasa o la cantidad, para pagar el capital e intereses de los bonos y el costo de cualquier acuerdo crediticio que se haya celebrado en relación con los mismos.

Basándose en las condiciones actuales del mercado en la fecha en que se adopta la presente Orden, se calcula que la máxima tasa de interés de los bonos o cualquier serie de bonos, si se autoriza su emisión, será del 4%. Se indica dicha tasa máxima a título informativo, pero no constituye limitación alguna en la tasa de interés a la que los bonos, o cualquier serie de bonos, puedan venderse. Las condiciones del mercado podrían ser distintas en el momento en que se vendan los bonos y afectar la tasa de interés disponible.

Como se expone en la sección 12 anterior, si se aprueba la emisión de bonos, se podrían emitir en una o más series, con un vencimiento a lo largo de un periodo específico de tiempo que no excederá los 40 años. La cantidad total del capital pendiente de las obligaciones de deuda del distrito a pagarse de la tasa impositiva de interés y amortización (“tasa de la deuda”) al comienzo del año fiscal en que se ordenan las elecciones es de $0.00. La cantidad de capital según determinados contratos de arrendamiento con opción de compra para ciertos inmuebles del distrito y mejoras (el “contrato de arrendamiento con opción de compra”), la cual se pagará del impuesto para el mantenimiento y operaciones (“tasa M&O”) al comienzo del año fiscal en que se ordenan las elecciones es $5,030,000.00. La cantidad total del capital pendiente de las obligaciones de deuda del distrito a pagarse de la tasa de la deuda al comienzo del año fiscal en que se ordenan las elecciones es de $0.00. La cantidad de intereses según el contrato de arrendamiento con opción de compra al comienzo del año fiscal en que se ordenan las elecciones es $659,932.00. Aproximadamente $.0741 por $100 del valor de la tasa M&O del distrito de $1.04 por $100 del valor impositivo se utiliza para hacer frente al contrato de arrendamiento con opción de compra. La tasa impositiva de la deuda ad valorem para los bonos del distrito aprobados por los electores en el momento en que se ordenan las Elecciones es de $0.00 por $100 de valor tasado y sujeto a impuestos.

Lady Whitefaces ‘settle in’ for sweep

HEREFORD WHITEFACES FOOTBALL 2018 statistics

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

(THROUGH GAMES OF OCT. 13) (INCLUDES STATS FROM OCT. 6 SUSPENDED GAME AT ANDREWS)

Strengthening their hold on one of District 3-4A’s top two postseason spots, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces make short work of visiting Lamesa for a 3-0 sweep Tuesday in district volleyball play.

With a second straight win for their sixth victory in the last seven matches and seventh in the past nine, the Lady Herd improved to 19-21 overall – after a 3-15 start – and 5-1 in district play to keep pace with front-running Canyon.

“It was a good night,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We settled in after the first set. Our defensive effort was not good in the first set. We made some adjustments and were able to remedy it.

“We did a better job than

An early 5-1 lead in the first set for the Lady Whitefaces grew tight when the Lady Tornadoes pulled to within 10-9.

Following a side out that made it 11-0, Lady Herd freshman Taytum Stow stepped to the line and served up four more points to push the lead to 15-9.

The lead went to 18-10, then 20-12 before the Lady Whitefaces took their advantage of the set at 23-13 on the way to a 25-16 win.

Foerster’s adjustment remedy worked in the second set as a 6-1 Lady Herd lead became a 13-3 cushion that was stretched to 20-5 on a five-point scoring run with Darcy Dodd on the serve.

Hostile Herd catches breath before stretch

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

After more than 10 weeks of going at it hard and heavy, the Hereford Whitefaces took it easy this week as they encountered virtually everyone’s common opponent – Open.

For the Herd, the idle week may not have come at a better time.

“The open date is what it is,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “It is coming at a good time for us. Like any team seven games into the season, we have our share of aches and pains. So, it will be good to get some people healed.

“Still, we have to be careful about the open date because we don’t want to lose our timing. But, we need to take care of our people.”

While it might look odd to see a team have an open date this late in the season, scheduling realities brought about by reclassification pretty much made Friday the only available date to rest.

The situation was predominantly created by the fact the Herd is one of three Class 4A district with only four teams – all of which are in Region 1.

With only three district PLEASE SEE HERD | 10

Missing out on a double-digit kill night thanks to a 25-16, 258, 25-11 match, Hereford’s Carmen Flood still managed 9 in Tuesday’s win over Lamesa.

Lady Herd’s Rainey Aven slams down a point in sharing team high-point honors with 9 kills in Tuesday’s district sweep of visiting Lamesa.

8, matched Hereford’s biggest lead of the set.

It was more of the same in the clincher with Alyssa Vallejo serving up a 6-0 to start, then sister Bonnie Vallejo added four more as the Lady Herd bolted to an 11-2 lead.

Dodd added a four-point serving run and two more short spurts did the trick for a 25-11 win.

A three-headed scoring monster led a 34-kill Lady Whiteface attack.

Carmen Flood and Rainey Aven shared team kill honors with 9 each, while Stow added 7.

Dodd finished with 4 kills as Beth Sanchez was credited with 3 and Miranda DeLeon chipped in 2.

Dodd notched half the

team’s 4 aces. Miranda Acosta and Aven had the other aces.

The front-court defense came alive after the first set to finish with 8 blocks – sparked by 3 from Stow.

Aubrey Landis, Flood and Aven knocked down 2 blocks each, and Sanchez recorded 1.

The back-court spread it around with 10 players accounting for the team’s 30 digs.

Bonnie Vallejo led the way with 6. Bonnie Vallejo and Dodd came up with 5 apiece, while Danielle Pena and Aven added 3 each.

The Lady Whitefaces were back on the district court Saturday when they travelled to Levelland for a 1 p.m.

Since all four teams automatically qualify for the playoffs, the three-game district season will be sprint for postseason seeding as District 3-4A will face Region 1’s only nonfour team district – District 4-4A – in the opening BiDistrict round on Nov. 16.

for seeding

With all four teams automatically qualifying for playoff berths, the District 3-4A football slate will be to determine the district’s seeding for the postseason. All 3-4A teams were off Friday. The schedule for the three-game district sprint for seeding is listed below: Friday, Oct. 26 Pampa at Hereford Canyon at Dumas Friday, Nov. 2 Hereford at Canyon Pampa at Dumas Friday, Nov. 9 Dumas at Hereford Canyon at Pampa ation of teams with losing record making playoffs is always present.

Friday, Nov. 16 Bi-District Playoffs 3-4A No. 1 vs. 4-4A No. 4 3-4A No. 2 vs. 4-4A No. 3 3-4A No. 3 vs. 4-4A No. 2 3-4A No. 4 vs. 4-4A No. 1 District 3-4A should not have the problem this season as each team will began

league play with a winning record. Canyon stands at 7-0. The Herd is 5-1 with a suspended game against Andrews. Dumas is 5-2, and Pampa sports a 4-3 mark.

The Harvesters will visit Whiteface Stadium next week to begin district play.

Also on Oct. 26, Canyon is at Dumas.

The next week (Nov. 2) the Herd makes their second trip to Kimbrough Stadium to face Canyon as Dumas hosts Pampa.

The smoke will clear by midnight Nov. 9 on where each team will stand moving into the playoffs when the regular season ends with the Whitefaces entertaining Dumas and Canyon traveling to Pampa.

“Getting well in the off week is our No. 1 priority,” DeLozier said. “We’ll clean

up some fundamentals during the week, then get started on our district.”

Belying the old sports axiom of never looking beyond the next opponent, with the playoffs guaranteed, Herd coaches used Friday’s open date to scout potential 4-4A Bi-District

foes.

Coaches attended games in Mineral Wells and Springtown, as well as the Hirschi tilt in Wichita Falls.

Although yet to be determined, DeLozier said potential Bi-District playoff sites were Lubbock and Abilene.
