A report from the executive director prompted discussion by the Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) Board of Directors over a topic of everheightening concern.

The discussion came during a called meeting of the HEDC board Monday that immediately chased the board’s annual meeting.

“Most of what I have done recently revolves around housing – singleand multi-family,” HEDC executive director Wade Hawkins reported to the first 2018-19 meeting of the board that saw two members re-seated for another term and a new member swore in during the annual meeting.

“I have been conversing with developers from high-end houses to manufactured homes.

I’ve also been talking with folks about between 60-250 multi-family units. Conversations have started. People are looking to build and move on from there.”

During an identical report that evening to the Hereford City Commission, Hawkins added the single-family houses were to be 1,500-1,800 square feet each, but Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna has been informed the houses

A score of 60-79 is deemed to “meet standard” with 80-89 “above standard” and 90-100 as “superior.” Scores below 60 are deemed “substandard achievement.”

Scoring is accompanied by corresponding letter grades.

Commissioners court checks-off routine agenda

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

An agenda filled with run-of-themill business took barely 30 minutes for the Deaf Smith County Commissioners Court to complete during its regular meeting Tuesday.

At the forefront was a report on the efforts of Deaf Smith County District Clerk of Court Elaine Gerber and her office in collecting child support payments.

As of the report, the district office had collected just shy of $3.97 million in child support payments – an increase in $250,000 from last year, according to Gerber.

Gerber added her office receives 50100 filings on child support each month

GERBER

from the Texas Attorney General.

The local office is responsible for collecting child support payments from parents and delivering it to the state, which then disperses the funds.

“Elaine and her staff do a wonderful job,” Deaf Smith

County Judge D.J. Wagner said.

Gerber and the district clerk staff were commended by the attorney general’s office in 2017 for its efforts in collecting child support payments.

Commissioners also continued their pass-through efforts in conjunction with Deaf Smith County Fresh Water Supply District 1 – better known as San Jose Water PLEASE SEE COUNTY | 3

News Parade back on tap for centennial Veterans Day From Staff Reports

The 100th anniversary of the specific reason of the holiday will be front and center when the Deaf Smith County Historical Commission renews its tradition of sponsoring a parade for Veterans Day. Originally called Armistice Day, the holiday was initially deemed to commemorate the end of hostilities of “the war to end all wars” – World War I – at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

Since then, the name has been changed to honor all Americans who have served in the armed forces.

Following a year’s hiatus thanks to the turn of the calendar – there was no parade last year with Veterans Day falling Saturday in 2017.

Although the actual holiday is Sunday this year, the traditional day off holiday will be observed Monday, Nov. 12 – coinciding with this year’s parade.

The parade will begin at 4 p.m., and follow the traditional parade route from beside Hereford High School (HHS) onto Park Avenue from Avenue F, then left onto Main Street.

Keeping the traditions going, the historical commission will also host a reception following the parade for veterans and their families at Hereford Community Center.

Refreshments will be served, and a short program will be presented with additional entertainment for the soiree.

The historical commission is also accepting entries for the parade through Friday, Nov. 9.

No fee is required for entry, but a completed form is required. The parade forms are available in the HHS front office or on the school’s website.

For details, email richardlamascus@herefordisd.net.

Certificates and plaques will be awarded in five categories – Best Business Entry, Best School Entry, Best Car Entry, Best Church Entry and Most Patriotic Theme.

Entry forms are due by 4 p.m. on Nov. 9. Late entries will be placed at the end of the parade.

Line-up for entries on Avenue F next to HHS is set for 3-3:30 p.m., on Monday, Nov. 12.

The historical commission also reminds parade attendees that parking in the Hereford Community Center parking lot is reserved for veterans.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS In the religious world, there is a teaching that says if one confesses and repents of his sin, and asks for Jesus to forgive his sins and come into his heart….that person is saved. Many sincere people believe this, but I cannot find steps like these in the scriptures.

The bible does speak about being in Christ. II Corinthians 5: 17 reads: ‘Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new’. The question I might ask is, how does one get in Christ?

Galatians 3:26-27 “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ”.

We cannot be in Christ unless we are born of God. John 1: 12-13; John 3: 3,5; Rom 6: 3-4 I John 5:11-2 reads: And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son does not have life.

I think these verses that tell us how we get into Christ, and the importance of being in Christ speak plainly enough. No additional commentary is needed.

I Peter 3:21 reads: There is also an antitype which now saves us – baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The only way we can stand before God with a clear conscience is when we have been cleansed of our sins. Baptism for the remission of sins does this.

Colossians 2: 12-13 Acts 2:38, 40-41, 47 Acts 22:16 Someone may say, “you are just teaching water salvation”. Not at all. The act of baptism is about obedience. Hebrews 5: 8-9 reads: though he was a Son, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him. These verses are speaking about Christ.

Shortly before Christ ascended into heaven, he told his apostles to go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:18-20. Baptism was commanded by Jesus, and in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned”. Clearly, when we hear the gospel message, believe it, and are baptized for the remission of our sins, we have obeyed the commandment given by Christ. Salvation won’t be ours without these acts of obedience. This was true in the first century, and it is still true today.

if the district if fiscally sound in its financial holdings and financial operations,” Ingram said. “It looks to see if we can cover a shortfall, pay long-term debt, pay monthly bills and handle district finances right. It sees if we’re doing the job right.

“FIRST wants to make sure we are doing what we’re supposed to be doing – and that is being good stewards of the public’s money.”

Money was also a topic during the subsequent board meeting in which the only action item was reappointment of a HISD representative to the Deaf Smith County Juvenile Probation Board.

During his regular business report to trustees, Ingram revisited the situation HISD finds itself in concerning funding-dependent property taxes.

“It is an anomaly,” Ingram said. “There are effectively two property val-

ue reports out there – the local one, and the one the [state] comptroller uses.

“The problem is the comptroller’s value runs a year behind.”

HISD was confronted with the same problem just more than a year ago when dealing with Hereford Wind over a hold-harmless payment because of value discrepancies.

The same hurdle exists with Ingram basing the district’s $35 million budget on property assessments and tax values set by Deaf Smith County Chief Appraiser Danny Jones for the 2017-18 tax year.

Meanwhile, the state comptroller is using 201617 property values to base its doling out of state funds to the district.

“The local [property] value must fall with 5 percent above or below the comptroller’s value or you go into default,” Ingram said.

“The comptroller’s value is used to determine state funding. The lower the local value, the more state funding.”

The current issue stems

from the tax abatement granted Hereford Wind.

The eight-year abatement caps the property taxes at $30 million per year, while the comptroller’s value shows the full wind farm value ($230 million) before the abatement kicked in.

“We have to make sure the local values are within [the comptroller’s] threshold,” Ingram said. “We don’t set the values. That is done by the appraisal district.”

Ingram added the local property appraisal has been officially examined and deemed “valid and certified.”

Board president Clay McNeely, who is also the trustee representative on the Deaf Smith County Appraisal District Board of Directors, expressed confidence in the county’s appraisal and is “comfortable” with Jones’ process.

Jones had to readjustment property values for the 2017-18 tax year to adhere to requirements through his office that values fall within the 5 percent state threshold.

Tip of the Day Everyday ways to help your elderly neighbors Thoughtful men, women and children can give back to their communities in various ways. Coaching youth sports, volunteering with local charities and donating to local food or clothing drives are just a few of the ways you can help make your community a better place.

were widows and almost half of women 75 and older live alone. Inviting elderly neighbors who live alone over for dinners, movie nights or game watches once per week is a great way to help them avoid social isolation and give them something to look forward to.

Another way to give back is to help your elderly neighbors who may not be as independent as they once were.

Such men and women may have physical limitations that compromise their ability to perform everyday tasks. People in the prime of their life take their ability to perform such tasks for granted. And while these gestures might seem simple, helping your elderly neighbors with their everyday tasks can have a profound impact on their lives.

· Help with some weekly chores. Seniors living on fixed incomes may find it difficult to maintain their homes.

Relatively simple tasks like mowing the lawn, taking out the garbage and even vacuuming can be difficult for seniors with physical limitations. Pitching in to help with such chores once or twice a week won’t require much time on your part and can have a significant impact on the lives of your aging neighbors.

· Ask if a neighbor needs anything from the grocery store. Everyone forgets to buy something at the grocery store from time to time. That’s a minor inconvenience to most people, but it can have a much bigger impact on elderly people who have mobility issues. Before taking trips to the grocery store, make it a habit to call an elderly neighbor and ask if he or she needs anything. · Invite seniors over for dinner or other gatherings. Many seniors deal with social isolation, which occurs when they lack opportunities to interact with other people. Recent data from the Administration on Aging indicates that 35 percent of women over the age of 65

· Drive seniors to religious services.

Attending religious services is important to many seniors, but those who can no longer drive themselves to weekly services may not be attending them as much as they would like. Whether you attend such services or not, offer to drive an elderly neighbor on Sunday mornings (or whenever weekly services are held). Religious services can help seniors stay connected to their faith and their communities, and driving an elderly neighbor to and from houses of worship once per week won’t require a significant commitment of your time.

Helping your elderly neighbors is a great and often simple way to give back to your community.

Mata among AgriLife awardees

From Texas AgrLife Extension

SAN ANTONIO – A group of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agents from the Panhandle received the Food Safety Award at the National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Science conference in San Antonio on Sept. 27.

The annual award recognizes outstanding innovative programming that has shown significant impact on food safety, according to the association’s guidelines.

With food safety as a primary concern for families both inside and outside the home, AgriLife Extension family and community health agents from across the Panhandle joined forces to help 10,267 adults and youth handle food safely through multiple approaches, the award presentation stated.

Recipients of the award and the counties they represented during the trainings are: Joan GraySoria, Gray; Billie Peden, Armstrong; Kay HerronRogers, Dallam/Hartley; Amalia Mata, Deaf Smith; Whitley Sprague, Hansford; Miquela Smith, Ochiltree; Amy Wagner, Randall; Wendy Hazzard, Wheeler; Carolyn PrillBennett, Moore; Chelsey Tillman, Oldham; and Lizabeth Gresham and Jennifer Nickell, Potter.

“We are so proud of this outstanding group

Saturday, October 27, 2018

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service family and community health agents from District 1 earned national recognition for their food safety education programs. Pictured l to r are: Wendy Hazzard, Wheeler; Chelsey Tillman, Oldham; Billie Peden, Armstrong; Amalia Mata, Deaf Smith; Lizabeth Gresham and Jennifer Nickell, Potter; Kay Herron-Rogers, Dallam/Hartley; Carolyn Prill-Bennett, Moore; Joan Gray-Soria, Gray.

Texas A&M AgriLife photo of agents who have made food safety a high priority throughout District 1,” said Dr. Angela Burkham, AgriLife Extension state program leader – family and community health, Amarillo.

“This is a highly competitive and prestigious award presented by the association nationally.

The recipients also presented their work during the conference, which attracted almost 900 professionals from across the nation.”

Burkham said everyone is at risk for foodborne illness, but older adults, pregnant women, young children, individuals with chronic disease, and those with a com-

Kids Corner

promised immune system are at an increased risk.

“We know it is imperative that both individuals and personnel who work in retail food service handle food safely,” Burkham said. “And what better agency than AgriLife Extension, with a presence in all counties, to provide that education.”

The award recipients along with all AgriLife Extension family and community health agents in the Texas Panhandle participate in the Better Living for Texans, or BLT, program. In 2017, District 1 BLT programs targeting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro-

gram Education eligible recipients reached 220 participants with educational lessons on food safety, the award nomination stated.

Pre- and post-tests indicated participants adopted Fight Bac food safety principles and learned to wash their hands before preparing food as well as wash fruits and vegetables before eating and serving them.

A total of 5,167 participants were reached with single or series educational programming events regarding food safety, the nomination stated.

Additionally, to meet the need for quality food safety education in Texas retail food establishments, the Food Protection Management, or FPM, program was taught by agents in Gray, Deaf Smith, Moore, Wheeler and Randall counties.

The two-day certified food manager program prepared 100 food service workers to take the state Certified Food Manager exam.

Agents in Armstrong, Dallam, Deaf Smith, Gray, Hansford, Lipscomb, Moore, Oldham, Potter, Randall and Wheeler counties provided the two-hour food handlers course, required for all food service employees, to 1,074 employees in 2016-17 to help promote the service of safe food.

Lady Whitefaces just run out of gas

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

A pair of hard-fought opening sets proved too much Tuesday for the Hereford Lady Whitefaces in a 3-0 loss to Canyon to end volleyball regular season.

Seeing a three-match win streak snapped, the Lady Herd have won three of the last four and seven of the last nine to finish 20-22 and as District 3-4A runner-up at 6-2.

“We were sitting on our heels waiting for them to make mistakes,” Hereford coach Catherine Foerster said. “We played OK, but we just couldn’t finish. We stood around and watched too much.

“When we stuck to the game plan, they couldn’t stop it, but we strayed.”

In the first set, the Lady Herd took the biggest lead of the set at 18-13, but it was short lived as the Lady Eagles rallied to make it 1817 before eventually going up 23-22 on the way to a 25-23 win.

The second set followed a similar pattern with the Lady Whitefaces working their way to an 18-12, then 19-13 lead.

Again, the Lady Eagles came back – this time to tie

it at 19-19 – to eke out a back-and-forth, 26-24 victory.

The clincher was stood at 14-12 Canyon before the deficit stretched to 17-12.

The Lady Herd closed to within 19-16, but could get no closer as the Lady Eagles slammed the door with six point spurt for a 25-16 win.

“We just ran out of gas,” Foerster said. “We have to keep working. We need to work in passing and being quicker. We had good discipline in the first two sets, but not in the third.

“We have to be more consistent.”

No Lady Whiteface reached double-digit in kills as Carmen Flood led the 32-kill attack with 9.

Darcy Dodd and Taytum Stow added 7 kills each, while Beth Sanchez had 5 and Rainey Aven chipped in 4.

Danielle Pena and Stow added points with an ace each.

Alyssa Vallejo and Aven shared the team’s 26 assists with 16 and 10, respectively.

Stow continued to stretch her 6-1 frame to lead the net defense with 3 blocks.

Lady Herd harriers state bound

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

For the first time this season, Hereford’s Sabbatha Taylor was not the first one across the finish line when the UIL 4A Region 1 Cross Country Meet ran Monday in Lubbock.

The Lady Whiteface senior still made it to the medal stand and will not be making the trek to Austin alone for the Nov. 3 4A State Meet.

Taylor, who took a bronze medal with an individual third-place finish, received another one as she led the Lady Whitefaces to third as a team and one of Region 1’s four team qualifiers to the state meet.

“We are very proud of where we are and what we have done,” Hereford coach Jose Huerta said.

“It is all an extension of the work they put in over the summer. They have been here every day.

“That looks really good for us.”

Taylor, who had won all five regular-season meets and the District 3-4A title on Oct. 11, finished third individually in 11:47.60 behind a pair of Canyon runners.

Malarie Dominguez stopped the clock in 12:30.60 to take 15th, while Rubie Trevino (12:49.60), Audrey Gibson (12:51.10) and Malanie Jaquez (12:51.60) were 25th, 29th and 30th, respectively.

The resulting 102 team points saw the Lady Herd far from Canyon’s region-winning 33 points, but just shy of runner-up Decatur’s 92.

Despite not winning for the first time this season, Lady Herd senior Sabbatha Taylor keeps pace for a bronze-medal finish at Monday’s Region 1 Cross Country Meet.

Contributed photo Rounding out the top four and also qualifying for state was Andrews with 121 points.

“I was just wanting to qualify for state and do the most for team,” Taylor said. “I was hoping to make the podium, but I was mainly wanting us to qualify.

“I love going to state as a team. It makes you push yourself and team more because you know

you have people there supporting you.”

The region meet was “just not the boys’ day,” Huerta said as the Whitefaces finished sixth in the seven-team field with 234 points.

Kidron Flickinger was the top Herd finisher, crossing the line in 17:07.50 to come in 34th. Senior Jaydon Garcia was 39th with a time of 17:14.90.

Gerardo Rodriguez (17:28.70, 48th), Joel Perales (17:32.40, 50th) and Tommy Gonzalez (17:48.90, 63rd) rounded out the Whiteface scoring runners.

While Taylor will be making her fourth consecutive appearance at the state cross country meet, it will be the first time since 2015 that teammates will be going with her to compete.
