Comet C/2013 A1 is also known as Siding Spring.

Comet buzzing past Mars on Sunday CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The heavens are hosting an event this weekend that occurs once in a million years or so. A comet as hefty as a small mountain will pass mind-bogglingly close to Mars on Sunday, approaching within 87,000 miles at a speed of 126,000 mph.

NASA’s five robotic explorers at Mars — three orbiters and two rovers — are being repurposed to witness a comet named Siding Spring make its first known visit to the inner solar system. So are a European and an Indian spacecraft circling the red planet.

The orbiting craft will attempt to observe the incoming iceball, then hide behind Mars for protection from potentially dangerous dusty debris in the comet tail.

A patient originally showing Ebola-like symptoms was treated and released Thursday afternoon from University Medical Center after doctors declared he did not have the disease.

The incident prompted Lub-

bockites to be alert, testing medical crews and first responders and triggering some parents to pull children out of a Lubbock elementary school near the patient's home.

“The one message today is people are afraid and react radically with very little information,” Mike Ragain said.

Several parents arrived at Alderson Elementary School to pick up their children midday after a man was taken to University Medical Center and placed in medical isolation with flu-like symptoms.

About four blocks away, Lubbock first responders and emergency medical crews had set up a hazmat shower in the road near Auburn Street and Zenith Avenue.

WASHINGTON The man accused of jumping a White House fence and running into the presidential mansion while carrying a knife now faces a new weapons charge.

A federal grand jury on Thursday returned the charge of possession of illegal ammunition magazines against Omar Gonzalez in an updated indictment. Gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds were recovered from Gonzalez’s car after his Sept. 19 arrest. Such magazines are illegal under District of Columbia law.

The new indictment also includes two federal counts that Gonzalez allegedly assaulted, resisted or impeded two U.S. Secret Service officers who apprehended him.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole told staff of his plans to leave the Justice Department after roughly four years at the department.

He plans to remain in the position temporarily to ease the transition to a new deputy attorney general and would like to remain involved in sentencing policy and aiding prison inmates re-entry into society, the Justice Department said.

WASHINGTON The No. 2 official at the Justice Department plans to leave his position, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday.

East Lubbock residents keep calm during quarantine

BY Gabriel monte a-j media

Residents of an East Lubbock neighborhood watched from their homes Thursday morning as men in yellow hazmat suits entered a home on their block.

First responders descended on the neighborhood soon after health officials believed there was enough evidence of a potential Ebola case to call for a hazmat response and isolate four homes in the 2600 block of Auburn Street.

By the afternoon, University Medical Center officials announced the male patient taken from the neighborhood was not exposed to the Ebola virus.

The man, whom residents believed was an exchange student, was complaining of flu-like symptoms and had traveled from the Ivory Coast, according to police officers at the scene.

Ivory Coast is not considered an Ebola hotspot by the World Health Organization. However, it shares a border with Liberia, which has been battling an Ebola

outbreak since March and has more than 4,000 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Lubbock police were called to the scene about 9:20 a.m. and blocked off Auburn Street between Zenith and Cherry avenues.

First responders installed a hazmat shower in the middle of the street and told residents in the isolated portion of the block to stay in their homes.

Residents, who were behind the taped-off area, watched intently as the scene played out but said they weren’t panicking.

Dee Mann, who has lived on the block for more than 30 years, said she understands the measures officials are taking but isn’t worried about catching a potential virus.

“Whatever happens is going to happen,” she said.

Mann said she believed the patient has been in the country for two days and was living with his sponsor at a house a block west of the isolated area.

However, the patient was at a home in the 2600 block of Auburn Street when he became sick and called the hospital.

Rolanda Horton stood in front of her house taking pictures of fire trucks and ambulances parked behind yellow caution tape.

She said she didn’t know who lived in the house the hazmat team was investigating, and officials hadn’t told her anything.

“I think this is all just panic,” she said.

On Wednesday in Amarillo, Baptist St. Anthony’s Hospital emergency room was locked down because of a potential Ebola case.

The lockdown was later lifted as hospital officials determined the patient

was not exposed to the virus.

“I’m praying this is false, too,” Horton said.

One neighbor, who asked not to be named, said he isn’t worried about being exposed to the virus because the patient had only been in the country for two days and had limited contact with people in the neighborhood.

“As long as it’s not airborne, I’m not worried about it,” he said. gabriel.monte@lubbockonline.com  766-8707 Follow Gabe on Twitter @AJ_GabeMonte

Lawmakers raise call for ban on travel from West Africa

by CONNIE CASS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Warning that Americans are losing faith in their government’s ability to stop Ebola, Republican lawmakers on Thursday pressed for a ban on travel to the U.S. from the West African outbreak zone. The White House said other measures are more effective.

The administration spent the day trying anew to tamp down fear as the pool of Americans being monitored for symptoms expanded from Texas to Ohio. President Barack Obama said he might appoint a single official to lead the nation’s efforts against the deadly disease.

While a contentious congressional hearing focused on the three cases of Ebola diagnosed within the U.S., the World Health Organization said the outbreak in West Africa was on pace to top 4,500 deaths by the end of the week.

Obama authorized a callup of reserve and National Guard troops in case they are needed. His executive order would allow more forces than the up-to 4,000 already planned to be sent

 Associated press

Dr. Anthony Fauci, center, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appears before lawmakers Thursday on Capitol Hill as the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations holds a hearing to examine the government’s response to contain Ebola. He is joined by Dr. Tom Frieden, left, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Dr. Robin Robinson, right, director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Dr. Luciana Borio, far right, assistant commissioner for counterterrorism policy at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. to West Africa, and for longer periods of time.

The president met into the evening with top aides and health officials at the White House, declaring afterward that he had no

“philosophical objection” to imposing a travel ban on West Africa but had been told by health and security experts that it would be less effective than measures already in place

— and perhaps would be counterproductive.

He said a ban could result in people trying to hide where they were coming from and thus becoming less likely to be screened.

He said it may be appropriate to appoint an additional person to lead the anti-Ebola effort in the U.S., a response to calls that he name an Ebola “czar.”

Health authorities insisted anew there is virtually no risk right now to Americans beyond medical workers involved in treating Ebola cases or people who recently traveled to West Africa. Yet people across the country were quick to take precautions.

In Washington, federal health officials who were called to Capitol Hill for a special hearing emphasized the importance of stopping the virus in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to protect Americans and the rest of the world from its spread.

“You’re right, it needs to be solved in Africa. But until it is, we should not be allowing these folks in, period,” replied Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich. He called for a ban on the 100 to 150 people who fly into the U.S. each day from the three nations at the heart of the outbreak.

“People’s lives are at stake, and the response so far has been unaccept-

able,” declared Upton, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

A handful of congressional Democrats also have endorsed the travel ban that’s mainly been pushed

by Republicans.

At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. was already taking the necessary steps to protect the public, because passengers are screened as they depart West Africa and most are checked for fever again when they arrive at a U.S. airport.

Earnest said the chances for a widespread outbreak in the U.S. remain “exceedingly low,” despite shortcomings in the government’s initial responses. Health officials said the same.

Obama, who directed his administration to respond more aggressively to the virus at home, made calls about Ebola to foreign heads of state as well as congressional leaders at home. He also called Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, where the CDC is helping to track people who may have been exposed when the Dallas nurse traveled to the Akron area to visit family.

Ebola in brief BELTON A Central Texas school district has temporarily closed three of its campuses after a family of four, including two students from the district, traveled on the same flight as a nurse who has since been diagnosed with Ebola.

The Belton Independent School District expects to reopen the schools on Monday. Campuses and some school buses were disinfected on Thursday by the same decontamination firm that cleaned Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, where Thomas Eric Duncan died of Ebola on Oct. 8.

The three schools — Belton Early Childhood School, Sparta Elementary and North Belton Middle — will remain closed Friday to allow additional time to clean and disinfect the campuses, said Superintendent Susan Kincannon.

The students, ages 8 and 13, attended the elementary and middle school, and the early childhood school was closed primarily because students there move through elementary schools at some points during the day.

DALLAS Dallas County’s top public health epidemiologist confirmed Thursday that she spent time at Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan’s bedside and that she is among those potentially exposed to the virus.

Dr. Wendy Chung Chung has remained on the front lines of the government’s response to the outbreak since Duncan’s diagnosis, working alongside federal, state and local health authorities as she undergoes monitoring for any signs of the potentially deadly disease.

“Yes, I have been alongside other physicians and nurses in addressing this patient,” said Chung in an email.

SAN DIEGO Fears about the Ebola virus prompted officials to rope off a college classroom building for several hours Thursday in San Diego County after a student told her instructor that her sister was in a hospital with flu-like symptoms.

Southwestern College initially posted a statement on its Facebook page saying health officials were heading to the campus in Chula Vista, south of San Diego.

About an hour later, the school posted: “NO EBOLA ON SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAMPUS” and said health officials were not on their way.

DALLAS Frontier Airlines is expanding the circle of passengers being notified that they flew with a nurse who later tested positive for Ebola, or flew on a later flight using the same plane.

The airline said that it would contact passengers on seven flights, not just the two flights the nurse took.

Frontier’s president said that “a handful” of customers have called to cancel reservations since news broke about the nurse’s travel on Frontier flights, and that the airline dropped a fare sale scheduled for this week.

UNITED NATIONS Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday that a trust fund he launched to provide fast and flexible funding for the fight against Ebola has only $100,000 in the bank.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the trust fund is part of a nearly $1 billion U.N. appeal for humanitarian needs in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the three countries hardest-hit by the deadly virus.

First Dallas nurse with Ebola heads to Maryland DALLAS (AP) — The first Dallas nurse to have contracted Ebola after treating an infected Liberian man was transferred Thursday from a Dallas hospital to a specialized medical facility in Maryland.

The National Institutes of Health said in a statement that Nina Pham, 26, was being taken from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas to the NIH center in Bethesda, Maryland. The NIH facility has one of four isolation units in the United States.

Texas Health Presbyterian officials said Wednesday that Pham was in good condition.

As Pham left the Dallas hospital in an ambulance about 6 p.m. Thursday, dozens of nurses cheered and waved signs bearing messages of affection and good wishes. She was taken to Dallas Love Field, where

she boarded the same executive jet used to fly a co-worker to an Atlanta hospital on Pham We d n e s d a y.

The jet took off shortly after 7 p.m.

Hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said Pham’s transfer is necessary because numerous employees are being monitored for symptoms and aren’t available to work.

Pham will receive care from an NIH staff that specializes in infectious disease and critical care, according to the NIH statement.

A second nurse who tested positive, 29-yearold Amber Joy Vinson, has been transferred to a biohazard infectious disease center at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

Dallas health workers ordered to stay home

by JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press

DALLAS — Dozens of health care workers who had contact with the man who died of Ebola in Dallas were asked Thursday to sign legal documents in which they agreed to stay home, as authorities across the nation ramped up efforts to limit the virus’ spread.

The documents ask the 75 health care workers who had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan to agree not to go to public places or use mass transit, according to Judge Clay Jenkins, top administrator for Dallas County. The agreements are binding legal documents that can be enforced with a variety of remedies, Jenkins said, though he repeatedly declined to elaborate about specific punishments when asked by reporters and expressed confidence that everyone would comply.

“From 21 days after their last exposure, we are agreeing that they are not going to go on any form of public conveyance — any sort of public transportation,” Jenkins said. “We are agreeing that they won’t go where people con-

gregate — public spaces — and we are agreeing that they will self-monitor and allow us to monitor them twice a day.”

It was one of several measures officials were taking Thursday amid an outbreak that has killed one person, infected two nurses and rattled nerves across the nation.

An official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the agency is expanding its Ebola investigation to include passengers on a Friday flight from Dallas to Cleveland that carried a nurse later diagnosed with the disease. Officials already had been contacting passengers on a flight that Amber Vinson, 29, took Monday on her way back to Dallas from a weekend trip visiting family.

Dr. Chris Braden of the CDC said during a news conference in Ohio that health officials are now investigating whether Vinson had any symptoms as far back as Saturday and said they couldn’t rule out that she may “have had the start of her illness on Friday.” Officials previously stressed that Vinson didn’t show symptoms during her Ohio visit.

Nurses report sloppy Ebola care conditions

by MATT SEDENSKY Associated Press

DALLAS — A Liberian Ebola patient was left in an open area of a Dallas emergency room for hours, and the nurses treating him worked for days without proper protective gear and faced constantly changing protocols, according to a statement released late Tuesday by the largest U.S. nurses’ union.

Nurses were forced to use medical tape to secure openings in their flimsy garments, worried that their necks and heads were exposed as they cared for a patient with explosive diarrhea and projectile vomiting, said Deborah Burger of National Nurses United.

Burger convened a conference call with reporters to relay what she said were concerns of nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Thomas Eric Duncan — the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. — died last week.

Duncan died Oct. 8, and the hospital said Sunday that one of his nurses had tested positive for Ebola.

She is hospitalized and was listed Tuesday in good condition. On Wednesday, Texas health officials announced that a preliminary

test indicated a second, unidentified health care worker at the hospital had been infected with the disease.

RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of Nurses United, said the statement came from “several” and “a few” nurses, but she refused repeated inquiries to state how many. She said the organization had vetted the claims, and that the nurses cited were in a position to know what had occurred at the hospital. She refused to elaborate.

Among the nurses’ allegations was that the Ebola patient’s lab samples were allowed to travel through the hospital’s pneumatic tubes, opening the possibility of contaminating the specimen delivery system. The nurses also alleged that hazardous waste was allowed to pile up to the ceiling.

Wendell Watson, a Presbyterian spokesman, did not respond to specific claims by the nurses but said the hospital has not received similar complaints.

Approving Proposition 1, which will increase money to the state highway fund without increasing taxes, should be a must vote on Texas ballots.

The constitutional amendment, if approved on Nov. 4, will put half the revenue collected from the Economic Stabilization Fund — more commonly known as the Rainy Day Fund — into the highway fund.

Texas has more miles of highways than any other state, and roads wear out over time — especially during an oil boom when heavy trucks are rumbling over our roads in greater numbers.

Appropriately enough, the Rainy Day Fund receives money from oil and gas production

taxes, along with half the taxes remaining in the general revenue fund at the end of Texas’ two-year fiscal cycle.

TxDOT officials estimate the department needs $5 billion a year just to keep up with routine road maintenance.

The estimated money that would be generated from Proposition 1 is about $1.7 billion a year. That’s only a third of what is needed just to stay even, but Texas needs the money now to keep from falling even further behind.

Hopefully, the Legislature will be able to find additional road maintenance money in the future, but this will be a start for now.

Vote yes on Proposition 1.

Re: The news story “Gardner can’t vote with Native American ID in 2014,” A-J, Oct. 15.

This story on the front page is very misleading. Unless you read the continuation on page 6 inside, we are led to believe he is unable to vote because of his Native American ID. There is even a large picture of the Choctaw Nation photo ID for Mr. Gardner on the inside page with the headline: “Gardner: Issue generally divided between Democrats, Republicans.”

After reading the entire story, we find out he has a valid Texas driver’s license and a valid concealed handgun license — both of which are acceptable forms of ID for voting. He is not prevented from voting due to his Indian ID, he chooses not to vote.

This is not an issue between Democrats and Republicans as we are led to believe from the front page and headline on page 6. This is his personal choice not to vote.

The A-J is trying to present this as a political issue.

This is my first letter to the editor ever.

If you are required to show a picture ID for boarding an airplane, cashing a check, etc., why not have to show an ID for the important right to vote?

The Democratic Obama deniers Senate candidates across the country are now training their fire on President Obama, railing about his failed policies and touting their fierce opposition to his agenda.

And those are the Democrats.

The Obama-denial campaign reached new comic heights last week with Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes’ refusal to say if she had voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 or 2012.

The Democrat dodged the question again at a Monday debate, insisting she had a “constitutional right” to keep secret whether she voted for the man for whom she served as a delegate at the 2012 Democratic nominating convention. ...

More amazing have been Senate Democratic incumbents, who want voters to forget their lock-step support of the president for the last six years.

Africa stems spread of Ebola via border closings, luck

by TOM ODULA Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya — Health officials battling the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa have managed to limit its spread on the continent to five countries — and two of them appear to have snuffed out the disease.

The developments constitute a modest success in an otherwise bleak situation.

Officials credit tighter border controls, good patient-tracking and other medical practices, and just plain luck with keeping Ebola confined mostly to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea since the outbreak was first identified nearly seven months ago.

Senegal did so well in finding and isolating a man with Ebola who had slipped across the border from Guinea in August that

A medical worker sprays people being discharged from the Island Clinic Ebola treatment center in Monrovia, Liberia. Ebola has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa and wreaked havoc on the region, but some Africans see a bright side: The virus has been limited to five countries. It has even been beaten back in two of those countries. the World Health Organization on Friday will declare the end of the disease in Senegal if no new cases

surface.

Nigeria is another success story. It had 20 cases and eight deaths after the

virus was brought by a Liberian-American who flew from Liberia to Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capi-

tal of 21 million people, in July. Nearly 900 people were potentially exposed to the virus by the traveler, who died, and the disease could have wreaked havoc in Africa’s most populous nation.

Instead, Ebola appears to have been beaten, in large part through aggressive tracking of Ebola contacts, with no new cases since Aug. 31.

WHO, the U.N. health agency, called it “a piece of world-class epidemiological detective work.”

The organization is set to declare an end to the outbreak in Nigeria on Monday.

Nigeria had a head start compared with other West African countries: Officials were able to use an emergency command center that had been built by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to combat polio.

Border closings may also

be helping halt the spread of Ebola.

Ivory Coast, GuineaBissau and Senegal, all of which share borders with at least one of the three most affected countries, have closed those borders.

The disease continues to ravage Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, overwhelming their health systems.

And some observers warn that border closings can have limited effect in a region with highly porous boundaries and few resources to patrol them.

Border posts are sometimes easily skirted.

There is also concern that travel restrictions will make things worse in the affected countries by creating what amounts to an economic embargo.

“We have been isolated,” said Kaifala Marah, Sierra Leone’s finance and economic development minister. “It really is killing our economies.”

HEALTH: Flu more contagious than Ebola FROM page A1 “They can have fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea,” he said. “If they don’t have any of the risk factors that put them in contact with someone with Ebola, that automatically excludes them. If they haven’t had the contact, there is no way to be exposed to Ebola.”

Patients can’t catch it randomly, Lewis said.

Dr. Richard Winn, chief of infectious disease at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, said symptoms play a small factor in Ebola diagnosis.

“The key is: Have you traveled to an area where there is Ebola?,” he said. “If you haven’t, the chances of you having Ebola is nil, zero.”

One must have direct contact with a confirmed Ebola patient to contract the disease, he said. Feeling sick and having a cough are indications of the flu, he said.

People are at greater risk of exposure to the flu, said Dr. Mike Ragain, chief medical officer for University Medical Center, during the Ebola press conference on Thursday afternoon.

“The flu is much more contagious because it’s through the air,” he said.

“It spreads broadly.”

Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids, Winn said. It does not live in on

“Ebola virus does not live on inanimate objects,” Winn said. “The bed rails don’t’ have it on it, the floor, etcetera.”

But there is an immunization that can prevent the flu, he said. There is not one for Ebola – yet.

“By the way, they are working on immunizations for Ebola,” he said. “Hopefully they’ll come up with it soon so they can prevent it.”

Lewis said flu season is approaching and flu vaccines should be a higher priority than worries of Ebola this year.

Winn said: “The mortality rate is much higher for Ebola than it is for flu. But don’t forget flu has a mortality rate, too. It can be quite high, too. But it’s a different type of virus.” ellysa.gonzalez@lubbockonline.com  766-8795 Follow Ellysa on Twitter @AJ_Ellysa

ALARM: Warning signs for Ebola ruled out FROM page A1 “So it’s important to take a breath and move forward carefully.”

During the news conference Thursday afternoon, Ragain, chief medical officer for UMC, said there is no reason for the local community to panic.

“This is not an outbreak,” Ragain said. “It’s not a case. That’s important to know, first off.”

EMS responded to reports of a patient exhibiting flu-like symptoms at a residence near East Auburn and Zenith Avenue after 9 a.m. Because the patient reported he had been to the Ivory Coast in Africa recently, emergency response crews and the hospital employed isolation procedures.

The patient underwent medical evaluation by four different doctors, Ragain said. It was determined he did not have the disease, and his symptoms were the result of a chronic medical condition.

“The patient was fully evaluated, the state of Texas was contacted, and based on details of the case, decided not to do testing for Ebola,” he said. “The patient was treated and released from University Medical Center.

His condition will be followed up by the city of Lubbock Health Department for monitoring.”

Dr. Richard Winn, chief of infectious diseases for Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and one of the doctors who helped evaluate the patient, said he believes the patient was a foreign exchange student in his early 20s, possibly a few years younger.

Ragain could not confirm if the patient was a Texas Tech student.

Warning signs for Ebola

Thursday afternoon, he said.

Meanwhile at UMC, medical personnel were handing out masks at the emergency room entrance.

Teague said the masks were in response to “flulike symptoms” exhibited by a patient. He could not confirm if the two patients were the same person.

Masked personnel hand out mask outside University Medical Center after a patient arrived with flu-like symptoms that raised concerns about Ebola. include fever of at least 101.5 degrees, severe flu-like symptoms, unexplained bleeding and travel history to West Africa in the last 21 days.

“Both of those were ‘no,’” Ragain said. “The patient had been to Africa, but had been to the Ivory Coast. There is no known Ebola in the Ivory Coast area, though it’s close.”

The initial evaluation was quick, Ragain said.

Most of it was gathering information about the patient’s history and more details about his symptoms.

Dr. Chris Peele, a doctor who evaluated the patient, described him as a “healthy looking, fine looking guy” to Ragain after evaluation, Ragain said.

ries and gain support from one another.

“Everybody grieves a little different. For them, I think the commonality is they lost someone they love,” he said.

“They are able to share why (their child) wanted to be here. They all wanted to be here for a different reason and in the end ... that’s unique and that’s special because (the families) would have never really known each other in any other way. Obviously this is not the way that you want to have to know someone, but this is a way to grieve with other people who are going through something similar.”

Bernal said families of those honored during the ceremony are typically thankful for the opportunity to come back on campus connecting with other parents.

“As a campus, we wanted a way to be able to remember anybody who has been here whether they were faculty, staff, alumni or a student,” Bernal said. “This is an opportunity during homecoming to allow families to come back and kind of reflect on what time was spent here, whether it was one day, one week or four years, 20 years.”

For Elana Myers, it was less than nine months.

With her freshman year at Tech coming to an end, My-

told reporters a Lubbock man had been placed in medical isolation at UMC due to complaints of flulike symptoms.

Rolanda Horton, a neighbor, said she did not know the man but saw emergency crews converging on the house.

“I think this is all just panic,” she said, referring to an Ebola scare Wednesday in Amarillo. “I’m praying this one is false, too.”

Emergency crews set up a hazmat shower on the scene.

Chris Teague, EMS director, said there were other people present in the house where the patient was found, but they were not the patient’s family. Those individuals were being attended to by the Lubbock Health Department by early

Earlier in the day At about 11 a.m., police

Medical staff at UMC had been training for a situation such as this for several weeks, Finley said.

Isolation protocol dictates that care for any patient suspected of having an infectious disease such as Ebola be limited to a small group. Doctors, nurses and other care takers, including janitorial staff, are required to wear protective clothing that covers their bodies completely. These employees are taught to monitor the safe removal of each other’s personal protective equipment.

Hospital staff that are a part of this team are not responsible for any other patients in order to prevent spread from room to room.

Teague said the ambulance crew that responded to the scene were also wearing protective equipment. The ambulance which transported him to the hospital was lined with plastic, he said.

Finley said UMC had the benefit of learning from mistakes made by Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Throughout the situation, Finley said the hospital was safe to visit for families and patients. adam.young@lubbockonline.com 806-766-8725 Follow Adam on Twitter @AYoungReporter

SCHOOL: No students lived at patient’s home FROM page A1 Officials were concerned the man, described to be in his early 20s, could have been exposed to exposed to Ebola while in West Africa.

Even before officials at University Medical Center announced the man had not been exposed to Ebola, an official from Lubbock Independent School District said there was no cause for concern.

“Lubbock ISD has been in full communication with the Health Department, and they have indicated there is no reason for us to have concern about any student in LISD,” Nancy Sharp, LISD spokeswoman, said Thursday afternoon.

Sharp said no students lived in the home.

“Our reason for visiting today is that there has been some misinformation,” Sharp said at the school.

“We have had some students who

have been checked out from the campus today, really just based on hype and media information that was really raising the level of anxiety.”

Sharp said school officials know and understand parents are concerned about their children.

“The best place for children to be is in school getting the instruction they need,” she said.

The district planned to place automated calls to parents Thursday evening to let them know what is going on.

FALLEN: Techsan Memorial honors 217 people FROM page A1 Meyers’ 18-year-old daughter, Texas Tech freshman Elana Myers, died earlier this year in a single-vehicle accident near Post.

During Thursday’s Techsan Memorial at Memorial Circle, Tracy, her husband and two other daughters were surrounded by Elana’s college friends as they reminisced about visiting the Texas Tech campus during parent’s weekend.

The solemn memorial honored 217 people, including 14 students, 12 faculty, 45 staff and 146 alumni who graduated between 1933 and 2010.

Before calling for a moment of silence, Tech President Duane Nellis emphasized the sense of family associated with being a Red Raider.

“We’re here to remember the members of our Red Raider family,” he said. “We can rejoice and be thankful for having had the honor and privilege of sharing part of life’s journey with these wonderful people. ...

They will be missed.”

All of the students honored at Thursday’s memorial have different stories, but Jon Mark Bernal, associate director for Tech’s Student Union and Activities, said the event gave families an opportunity share their sto-

ers decided to drive about six hours to see her family.

Often she had surprised her parents by ringing the doorbell of their Austin residence and filling their house with laughter as she visited home from college that first year. So, when her mom Tracy Myers heard the doorbell ring April 9, she thought, “I can’t believe she’s ringing the doorbell again.”

The mom relented as she went to open the door, but instead of being greeted by her daughter’s smiling face, an officer told her about a single-vehicle accident about five miles south of Post that took her daughter’s life.

“She died instantly so that was a good thing that

she didn’t suffer,” Myers said. “They said when the car accident happened someone else passed by and by the time they came by; she had left us. So I know that she didn’t suffer.

The only thing that gives me peace is knowing that she didn’t suffer.”

Sharp said the district has been making plans for what to do if there is an Ebola outbreak in Lubbock.

The plan was developed with the Lubbock Health Department with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“We really started last week when the first case came to light in Dallas,” Sharp said. “We have a plan, and we’re following that plan.”

Sharp said teachers cover washing hands “year-round,” but the district sent out reminders last week. “We feel like we are well prepared,” she said.

The patient was released from UMC. He was not tested for Ebola, but will be monitored by the Lubbock Health Department.

There are no reported cases of Ebola in the Ivory Coast, though there are more than 4,000 confirmed cases in neighboring Liberia, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

HONG KONG Dozens of Hong Kong police descended on a prodemocracy protest zone to remove barricades in a dawn raid.

Officers wearing riot helmets arrived at the site early Friday to take down some of the tents and canopies in Mong Kok. Police said they were not trying to clear the site, which is an offshoot protest zone across the Victoria Harbor from the main occupied area in the city’s financial district.

Police surrounded about 30 protesters, who did not put up resistance.

VIENNA The United States may be the mightiest military and economic power in the world, but when it comes to shuttling its top diplomat around the globe, it’s beginning to look like a poor orphan.

For the fourth time this year — and the second time in three months, Secretary of State John Kerry was forced to fly home commercially when his aging Air Force Boeing 757, known in military parlance as a C-32, was grounded on Thursday with a mechanical problem in Vienna.

Inconvenient? Undoubtedly. Kerry, heading back to Washington from nuclear talks with senior European and Iranian officials, made light of the situation, telling aides: “If the hardest thing that happens in a given day is that you have to fly commercial, your life is pretty good.”

BELGRADE, Serbia Greeted by enthusiastic chants of “Putin! Putin!,” Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a military parade Thursday in Slavic ally Serbia, where he held talks on economic Putin issues, including on the South Stream gas pipeline opposed by the European Union.

Waving Russian and Serbian flags and displaying banners “Thank You Russia,” tens of thousands came to see the parade in Belgrade, which marked the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Serbian capital from the Nazi German occupation by the Red Army and Communist Yugoslav Partisans.

Putin’s visit came as Serbia finds itself caught in the middle of Moscow’s dispute with the West over Ukraine. The Balkan nation is increasingly torn over whether to continue toward membership in the 28-nation EU or give up that goal and forge even closer ties with Russia.

BAGHDAD Militants unleashed a wave of attacks in Iraq on Thursday, mainly targeting Shiite areas in and around the capital of Baghdad, killing at least 50 people and wounding dozens, authorities said.

The Islamic State group has overrun vast areas in western and northern Iraq as well as parts of neighboring Syria, and has vowed to destabilize and eventually take over Baghdad.

HAMILTON, Bermuda People on the tiny British territory of Bermuda rushed Thursday to batten down for Hurricane Gonzalo, which was roaring toward them as a powerful Category 4 storm just days after a tropical storm damaged homes and knocked down trees and power lines.

Gonzalo had top sustained winds of 145 mph and was centered about 415 miles south-southwest of Bermuda by late afternoon Thursday. It was moving north at 9 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Iran looks at U.S. nuclear compromise offer The Big Story

by GEORGE JAHN Associated Press

VIENNA — Iran is considering a U.S. proposal at nuclear talks that would allow it to keep more of its nuclear infrastructure intact while still reducing its ability to make an atomic bomb, two diplomats told The Associated Press on Thursday.

At issue is Iran’s uranium enrichment program, which can make both reactor fuel and the fissile core of nuclear arms. Tehran insists the program is only for future energy needs.

Iran is refusing U.S. demands that it cut the number of working enriching centrifuges from nearly 10,000 to only a few thousand. That dispute has been the main stumbling block to progress since the talks began early this year.

Before a Nov. 24 deadline to seal a deal, diplomats told the AP last month the U.S. had begun floating alternatives to reducing centrifuges that would eliminate the dis-

 Associated press

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif are photographed Wednesday as they participate in a trilateral meeting in Vienna, Austria. The three are trying to advance nuclear talks and meet the target date of Nov. 24. agreement but still accomplish the goal of increasing the time Iran would need to make a nuclear weapon.

Among them was an offer

to tolerate more centrifuges if Tehran agreed to reduce its stockpile of low-enriched uranium, which can fuel reactors but is also easily

turned into weapons-grade material.

Back then, Iran was noncommittal. But the two diplomats said Thursday it

recently began discussions with Moscow on possibly shipping some of its lowenriched stockpile to Russia for future use as an energy source. Russia supplies fuel for Iran’s existing nuclear reactor.

The diplomats demanded anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss confidential information. They stressed the discussions were preliminary and Iran had made no commitment.

Iranian officials at the closed talks weren’t reachable for comment before boarding a flight home after the latest negotiating round ended Thursday.

Experts say the low-enriched uranium Iran has stored, if further enriched, could arm up to seven nuclear weapons. They estimate it would take Tehran between 3-to-12 months to have enough weapons-grade uranium for one bomb.

Syrian Kurdish official calls for arms for Kobani

U.S. sailors conduct a drill Oct. 10 on the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush in the Persian Gulf.

U.S. still searching for credible allies in Syria

by KEN DILANIAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Despite years of diplomacy and a CIA operation to vet and train moderate rebels, the U.S. finds itself without a credible partner on the ground in Syria as it bombs the Islamic State group.

That’s a potentially serious flaw in its strategy to ultimately defeat the militants.

Obama administration officials have long conceded that airstrikes alone won’t drive IS from its strongholds across Syria and Iraq, but it also has ruled out the use of American ground troops.

The U.S. strategy to crush IS rests on the use of local proxy forces, and hinges on plans to use $500 million and a base in Saudi Arabia to build an army of moderate Syrian rebels.

The ground force component has always been seen

as a challenge in Syria, but the difficulty has become clearer in recent days.

Officials acAssad knowledge that the U.S. doesn’t trust any Syrian rebel groups enough to coordinate on the air campaign, despite attempts by some pro-Western fighters to pass along intelligence about IS positions.

The CIA has secretly trained and is paying more than 1,000 moderates to help achieve the administration’s stated objective of overthrowing Syrian president Bashar Assad, U.S. officials have said.

Those fighters have been gaining ground against Assad in southern Syria and in some places are fighting IS, said Robert Ford, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey — In its battle for the Syrian town of Kobani, the Islamic State group enjoys a key advantage: a supply of weapons, ammunition and fighters shuttling between Syria and Iraq.

The town’s Syrian Kurdish defenders, while backed by airstrikes from the U.S.-led coalition, are outnumbered, poorly armed and squeezed against the unwelcoming Turkish border. Reflecting growing desperation despite their success so far in holding out, Syrian Kurdish officials are increasing their appeals to better arm the defenders of the strate-

gic frontier town.

“From the start, we said the coalition’s airstrikes will not be able to save Kobani or to defeat Daesh in the area,” said Idriss Nassan, deputy head of Kobani’s foreign relations committee, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.

“We call upon the international community to open a humanitarian safe passage to allow in food, medicine, and weapons supplies,” Nassan told The Associated Press.

It’s unclear what friendly countries could do. Weapons for Kurdish fighters would have to cross through Turkey — a request the Ankara government is likely to rebuff.

texas/Measure would pump more money into highway infrastructure

By Enrique Rangel A-J Media Austin Bureau

AUSTIN — Led by Gov. Rick Perry, state officials often brag that more than 1,000 people a day vote with their feet when they move to Texas.

But as the chairmen of the trans-

portation committees in the Texas House and Senate noted in a newspaper column, such growth comes with a huge cost for the state, particularly on transportation infrastructure.

“With the Texas population growing by approximately 1,200 people every day, the demand on our infrastructure has increased significantly,” Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, and Rep. Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, wrote for the El Paso Times on Oct. 12.

“From our health care system

The course is $20 and you can register online or at the event.

This course is intended for people of all religions, spiritual backgrounds and beliefs.

Thus, like state leaders and most members of the Texas Legislature, Nichols and Pickett are urging state voters to approve Proposition 1, the only statewide proposal on the Nov. 4 ballot.

“Proposition 1 represents the single largest revenue increase to the State Highway Fund in Texas history with a projected $1.7 billion a year,” is their pitch to the voters. “This measure will provide much needed funding for

Judge Andrew Napolitano wants his privacy.

The FOX News senior judicial analyst said during a visit to Lubbock Thursday evening he’s frustrated with the federal government’s monitoring of personal data. A common response to his concerns is that they’re unnecessary if he follows the law, he told a large crowd at Texas Tech’s Allen Theatre.

But he disagrees.

“People said, ‘What do you care? You have nothing to hide,’” he said. “I do have something to preserve — my dignity and my right to be left alone, the quintessential American right.”

The New Jersey trial judge turned cable-TV commentator said he feels the government has overstepped its authority under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

But how did the U.S. allow them to do so?

Attempts to thwart another act of terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attacks have grown misguided, he continued.

“I do not demean the deaths of 3,000 Americans, but I believe the greater tragedy was the government’s response to it,” he said.

The Patriot Act, for instance, deeply violates the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, he said, but received overwhelming support from representatives who had read only a summary of the lengthy bill.

“Ask any member of Congress how much time they spent reading the Patriot Act before they voted on it,” he said. “...If we surrender our liberties to the government, who or what will protect us from the government?”

Texas & Region EL PASO Three more babies have tested positive for tuberculosis after a nurse’s assistant infected with the illness possibly exposed about 860 babies at an El Paso hospital’s nursery.

El Paso Public Health Director Robert Resendes said Thursday that of the total of 11 cases at Providence Memorial Hospital, seven are possible false positives because they had been vaccinated against TB previously. Parents of 95 percent of those possibly exposed have been contacted.

Preventive medical treatments have been offered for all positive cases and for 205 babies under 6 months of age. None of the positive cases have active TB, the often deadly and contagious form of the disease.

DALLAS A federal jury convicted a former Dallas vice detective on obstruction charges for passing unauthorized tips about police raids and investigations into prostitution.

The U.S. attorney’s office said Jose Luis Bedoy was found guilty of all four counts of an indictment alleging obstruction of justice. The convictions carry potential penalties totaling 70 years in prison and $1 million in fines.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn said the 40-year-old ex-detective can remain free on bond pending sentencing in February.

Trial evidence showed Bedoy began a sexual relationship with someone authorities say is a prostitute and giving her “law enforcement-sensitive information” about raids.

Police in Coppell, a Dallas suburb, determined earlier this year that he had tipped off a raid. The FBI began investigating.

HOUSTON Authorities said murder charges have been filed against three people accused in a machete attack that left a 14-year-old Houston boy dead.

Houston police on Thursday announced the arrest of three suspects in the slaying of Jose Meraz.

The teen’s body was discovered Sept. 15 near Addicks Reservoir. Police have not released a possible motive for the killing.

Investigators arrested 22-year-old Jose GranadosGuevara and 17-year-old William Alexander Valladares. Police said a third suspect, a 14-year-old boy, faces prosecution as a juvenile. His name hasn’t been released.

HOUSTON Houston police said a school bus driver has been charged with failing to stop and render aid in the death of a 56-year-old bicyclist who was struck and killed.

Police on Thursday announced the arrest of 54-year-old Phyllis Ann Booker, who drove for First Student Bus Company.

Police said Bobby Brooks of Houston was hit by the bus Wednesday morning while riding in the pedestrian crosswalk.

Authorities said the yellow school bus had a green light and was making a turn when Brooks was struck.

BROWNWOOD A former West Texas jailer is behind bars after authorities said he set up a fake Facebook account to defame a sheriff’s deputy.

Eric Tipton, 37, is being held on $300,000 bond at the Brown County Jail on charges of online impersonation, stalking and retaliation. Texas Rangers arrested the Bangs man on Monday.

Tipton worked at the jail from August 2011 to May 2013.

Texas asks high court to preserve voter ID law

by PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press

AUSTIN — Texas urged the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to let the state enforce voter ID at the polls starting next week and not restore a lower-court ruling that found the law unconstitutional and the equivalent of a poll tax.

A decision could come soon as Friday. Early voting begins Monday, and election officials statewide are anxiously awaiting official word on whether voters must present photo identification.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican who’s favored in the gubernatorial race, reminded justices in a 300-page briefing that the court in recent weeks has blocked lower rulings in Wisconsin, North Carolina and Ohio that also would have changed voting procedures for the Nov. 4 election.

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department and minority-rights groups challeng-

 Associated press

Republican gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott speaks Tuesday to a group of supporters in Houston. Abbott, the state’s attorney general, urged the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to let the state enforce voter ID at the polls starting next week and not restore a lower-court ruling that found the law unconstitutional and the equivalent of a poll tax. ing the Texas law — which critics contend is the toughest voter ID measure in the

U.S. — prevailed in a federal court in Corpus Christi.

But a federal appeals court

in New Orleans put that victory on hold Tuesday, determining that it’s too close to

Election Day to change the rules.

Abbott took aim at the lower-court finding that the voter ID law was passed in 2011 by the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature with the intent of racially discriminating against minority voters.

“A legislature is not racist for enacting a voting requirement that the Supreme Court has found to serve legitimate state interests,” Abbott wrote.

The Supreme Court has upheld voter ID laws in other states. But the office of outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has argued that the Texas law has the harshest effect on minorities. The Justice Department has said it will prevent 600,000 registered voters from casting a ballot in person because they lack one of seven forms of approved ID — a list that includes concealed handgun licenses but not college student IDs, which are accepted in other states with similar measures.

Cruz criticizes Houston over sermon subpoenas

by MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated Press

HOUSTON — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz told congregants of his home church Thursday that the city of Houston abused power by subpoenaing sermons and other documents from pastors who publicly opposed a local ordinance banning discrimination against gay and transgender residents.

Cruz, standing among more than a dozen clergy at First Baptist Church in Houston, described the subpoenas as an “abuse of government power” and another illustration of the “indefensible assault by the government on

religious liberties.”

“Caesar has no jurisdiction over the pulpit,” said the Texas Republican, a tea party-backed conservative who is considering a presidential run.

In May, the City Council passed the equal rights ordinance, which consolidates city bans on discrimination based on sex, race, age, religion and other categories and increases protections for gay and transgender residents.

Supporters, including Mayor Annise Parker, said the measure is about offering protections at the local level against all forms of discrimination in housing,

employment and services provided by private businesses such as hotels and restaurants.

Christian activists sued after city officials ruled they didn’t collect enough signatures on petitions to put a referendum on the ballot to repeal the ordinance.

Parker, who is gay, and the city attorney, David Feldman, said the subpoenas were designed to gather evidence in the lawsuit, may have been poorly written by an outside firm working for the city and that she and Feldman were not aware of them and had not read them before they were served.

 Associated press

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is surrounded by preachers as he addresses a crowd Thursday at a Houston church. Cruz spoke about a legal dispute involving several pastors fighting subpoenas from Houston city attorneys demanding they turn over copies of any sermons they delivered that relate to Houston’s equal rights ordinance.

Living together may end long-distance engagement Dear Abby: My fiance, “Derrick,” and I have been engaged for almost a year.

The whole time we’ve been together he has been overseas. While he has many of the characteristics I look for in a man, he isn’t as down-to-earth as I’d like him to be.

He’s now back in the U.S. for good, and we are living together. Derrick’s a great father to his children, a good provider, intelligent, handsome and we have a lot in common.

I love his family. But for a few months now I have been rethinking my decision to marry him.

I feel like I can’t be my-

JEANNE PHILLIPS

DEAR ABBY self around him without him judging me or making facial expressions. I have tried telling him how I feel, but I always end up hurting his feelings or he ends up pointing the finger at me.

He’s the best person I have ever met, but I’m not deeply in love with him. He doesn’t bring out the best in me and I don’t know what to do.

How should I handle this situation without breaking our engagement? — Ms. Engaged in Florida Dear Ms. Engaged: You and Derrick might be able to communicate more effectively if you had premarital counseling. However, if it doesn’t resolve your issues, do not marry him, regardless of how handsome he is or what a good provider you think he will be.

To have a successful marriage, you will have to be yourself — and you and Derrick should bring out the best in each other.

With help, you may be able to save the relation-

ship. But if counseling doesn’t work, do both of you a favor and become Ms. Dis-engaged.

Dear Abby: My parents split up in 1987. They have just started dating again.

What is the likelihood of them remarrying? They are in their 70s.

My concern is, what if they break up? I guess I shouldn’t worry and just appreciate the time I have with them as a new couple starting out again. Are these normal concerns?

— Sweet, Caring Daughter, Sunnyside, Wash.

Dear Caring Daughter: Of course your concerns are normal. You love your

folks and don’t want either of them to be hurt if the romance goes off the tracks (again). Because you can’t control what happens next, cross your fingers and hope for a happy outcome.

Your parents seem to have a strong connection, and they’re old enough to know what they’re doing. Que sera, sera.

Wrapping travel problem in plastic bags for inspectors Dear Heloise: I want to share an important safety travel tip. When packing to fly, with the Transportation Security Administration in mind, I place anything with batteries, like a clock, a face-cleaning brush, etc., in a zippered plastic bag on the very top of my clothes, so they can see them right away.

I used to remove the batteries and leave them in that bag. However, I learned that loose batteries can cause a fire if they touch each other (Heloise here: It’s extremely rare.)

So, on my last flight, I left the batteries in the appliances.

When I was unpacking after the short flight, I noticed that my face brush was very warm. I opened the battery compartment, and the batteries were so hot that I could not touch them. (Heloise here: The device’s switch inadvertently could have been moved to the “on” position.)

Imagine what could have happened on a longer flight. Now I remove all of the batteries and wrap each separately for travel.

— Karen in Oxnard, Calif.

HELOISE

HINTS FROM HELOISE Karen, thank you for bringing up this subject.

Yes, when flying it’s vital to do the right thing when carrying batteries. Here are some suggestions from the TSA: ■ Keep batteries and devices with you or in your carry-on luggage.

■ Bring spare batteries in original packaging, if possible. If not, place each battery in its own bag, case, etc., so that it cannot touch any other batteries, coins or metal objects.

■ Place tape across the battery terminals for better protection. (Heloise here: This is what I do.)

■ If you have to leave batteries in a device, make sure it is turned off. Tape it in the “off” position to keep it from turning on.

— Heloise Dear Heloise: To save money and cut down on wasted food, my family has a “pantry night.” Once

a month, we go through the pantry and freezer and find something we each want to eat, such as a can of soup and crackers, a single TV dinner or whatever we can find that sounds good. That way, we use up what we have. ­— Nadine in Texas Dear Heloise: I have had plenty of experience driving in lousy, snowy condi-

tions, and I’ve helped dozens of people “get going.” How? I carry carpet samples in my car. Any old rug probably would work. Clear a little snow from under the front tire. (Heloise here: Under the rear tires, if you have rear-wheel drive.)

Push a carpet sample underneath and drive away slowly. — H.J., Huntington

Across The Nation JUNEAU, Alaska Juneau police used the social media site Facebook to try to find the next of kin for a man killed in a car crash last week. But they used the page for the wrong Justin Priest.

Police identified the victim as 33-year-old Justin Priest and found a Facebook page for a man with the same name, from Anchorage.

Police asked the Alaska State Troopers for help verifying the family’s relationship, or at least thought that’s what they were asking, the Juneau Empire reported. But a troopers spokeswoman told The Associated Press the message they received was for a death notification. The wrong family — that of 29year-old Justin Priest — was notified.

Juneau police have apologized for the mistake.

They eventually discovered there were at least three Facebook profiles for men named Justin Priest, none of which belonged to the man who died.

HONOLULU Tropical Storm Ana is expected to deliver heavy rain and potentially destructive winds to the southern half of Hawaii’s Big Island in the next couple of days, meteorologists said Thursday.

Ana likely will become a hurricane by Friday evening but return to tropical storm strength Saturday morning, National Weather Service meteorologist Ray Tanabe said.

HILLSBORO, Ore. Police in an Oregon suburb said a 6-month-old baby girl left alone in a car for approximately six hours died at a hospital.

Hillsboro Lt. Michael Rouches said the child’s father called for help at about 5 p.m. Thursday, saying the baby was in his car in a parking lot and needed medical treatment. The spokesman said CPR was administered at the scene and the baby was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died.

Rouches said the cause of death has not been determined. Neither the father nor the child was identified.

RIVERTON, Wyo. Authorities said a school bus carrying 13 young children and four adults crashed and rolled on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, but only minor injuries were reported.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Maj. Perry Jones said the bus belonging to Shoshone Arapaho Head Start was headed south on state Highway 132 in Fremont County when it crashed at about 1:40 p.m. Thursday. The bus left the roadway, and the driver overcorrected, causing it to roll.

The children, who are all 1 to 2 years old, were secured in a seat belt/harness, the news release said.

DENVER A student who killed a classmate before taking his own life at a suburban Denver high school last year showed a friend photos of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting and thought one of the images was “funny in a crude way,” according to documents released Thursday.

Karl Pierson, 18, also showed the friend pictures of the shotgun he later used in the Dec. 13 attack at Arapahoe High School, according to investigators’ applications for search warrants.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office released the records to The Associated Press as part of an open-records request. The documents show detectives investigated tips that other students knew of Pierson’s plan, but police have said they concluded no one else was aware of it.

U.S. strong despite fear over global slowdown

by PAUL WISEMAN associated press

WASHINGTON — Beyond the turmoil shaking financial markets, the U.S. economy remains sturdier than many seem to fear.

The Dow Jones industrial average has lost 874 points since Oct. 8, largely over worries about another recession in Europe, a slowdown in China and world-spanning crises that include the Ebola outbreak and the rise of the Islamic State.

Yet economists aren’t reducing their forecasts for the U.S. economy. The International Monetary Fund, which heightened jitters by cutting its forecasts for global growth, has actually upgraded its outlook for the United States.

Economists say the troubles around the world aren’t enough to derail a U.S. economy that’s gaining strength from a stronger job market, falling fuel prices, lower mortgage rates and improvements in household finances and confidence.

 Associated press

Workers assemble body armor in the sewing area in the Point Blank Body Armor factory in Pompano Beach, Fla. Beyond the turmoil shaking financial markets, the U.S. economy remains sturdier than many seem to fear.

“The U.S. economy is nicely insulated from most global events,” says Eric Lascelles, chief economist for RBC Global Asset Management.

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, is keeping his forecasts for U.S. growth at 2.2 per-

cent for this year and 3.4 percent for 2015. He calls the plunge in stock prices a “garden-variety correction” for an inflated market, rather than evidence of a faltering economy.

The IMF spooked investors last week by cutting its forecast for global eco-

nomic growth this year to 3.3 percent from 3.4 percent. Even so, the IMF now expects the U.S. economy to grow 2.2 percent this year, up from its June forecast of 1.7 percent.

Underscoring the bright outlook, the government said Thursday that the

number of Americans who applied last week for unemployment benefits — a figure that reflects the number of layoffs — reached a 14-year low.

Once you factor in the growth of the U.S. labor force, the latest number means the likelihood of being laid off is the lowest it’s been on government records dating to the early 1970s.

In addition, the Federal Reserve said Thursday that U.S. manufacturing production rose last month after tumbling in August.

For now, investors remain so worried about weakness across the globe that they’ve been dumping stocks of every geographic or industry origin.

Near the top of their worries is Europe. The 18-country eurozone’s economy failed to grow at all in the second quarter of the year and might not do so in the third quarter, either. The IMF shaved its forecast for eurozone growth to 0.8 percent this year from its previous forecast of 1.1 percent.

FBI director warns against cellphone encryption

by ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — FBI Director James Comey warned in stark terms Thursday against the push by technology companies to encrypt smartphone data and operating systems, arguing that murder cases could be stalled, suspects could walk free and justice could be thwarted by a locked phone or an encrypted hard drive.

Privacy advocates and technology experts called the concerns exaggerated and little more than recycled arguments the government has raised against encryption since the early 1990s.

Likening encrypted data to a safe that cannot be cracked or a closet door that won’t open, Comey said the move by tech companies to protect user communications in the name of privacy is certain to impede a wide range of criminal investigations. New legislation to allow law enforcement to intercept communications is needed at a time of advancing technology and new forms of communication, he said.

“We have the legal authority to intercept and access communications from information pursuant to court order, but we often lack the technical ability to do so,” Comey said in a Brookings Institution speech.

Comey cited particular

 Associated press

FBI Director James Comey, accompanied by Benjamin Wittes, arrives at a news conference Thursday to speak about the impact of technology on law enforcement at Brookings Institution in Washington. cases in which he said access to cellphone data aided in a criminal investigation. But in a questionand-answer session after the speech, he said he could not cite particular instances in which someone was rescued from danger who wouldn’t have been had law enforcement been blocked from that information.

“Rescuing someone before they’re harmed?

Someone in the trunk of a car or something?” Comey asked. “I don’t think I know

yet.”

But, he added, “Logic tells me there are going to be cases just like that.”

The speech, which echoes concerns he and others in law enforcement have previously made, comes soon after announcements

by Apple and Google that their new operating systems will be encrypted, or protected with coding by default. Law enforcement officials could still intercept conversations but might not be able to access call data, contacts, photos

and email stored on the phone.

While the companies’ actions are understandable, Comey said, “the place they are leading us is one we shouldn’t go to without careful thought and debate.”

“Encryption isn’t just a technical feature. It’s a marketing pitch. But it will have very serious consequences for law enforcement and national security agencies at every level,” Comey said.

The government’s con-

cerns may also center in part on the use of Apple’s iMessage platform, which offers end-to-end encrypted text messages that supersede traditional SMS messages. That kind of encryption likely provides access to those messages on users’ iPhones, of which Apple has sold more than 240 million since 2013.

He acknowledged a rise in public mistrust of government in the year since a former National Security Agency systems analyst revealed NSA secret intelligence collection programs.

But he said the public was wrong to believe that law enforcement can access any and all communications with the flip of a switch.

“It may be true in the movies or on TV. It is simply not the case in real life,” he said.

Comey also said the FBI was committed to a “frontdoor” approach, through court orders and under strict oversight, to intercepting communications.

Privacy advocates have long been concerned that that development would create an opening for hackers to exploit. The American Civil Liberties Union noted that federal law protects the right of companies to add encryption with no backdoors and said the companies should be credited for being “unwilling to weaken security for everyone.”

With foxes scarce, hunting clubs now target coyotes

by MICHAEL MELIA Associated Press

BRIDGEWATER, Conn.

— American fox-hunting is a sport so steeped in tradition that riders still wear ties and blazers and cry out “Tally ho!” at the sight of prey. But it is adapting to one dramatic change: Coyotes have displaced foxes in the wild and become the hunters’ new quarry.

The bigger, stronger animals pose challenges to the existence of some of the clubs carrying on the hunts introduced from England in the 1600s.

The coyotes that have overtaken much of the country in recent decades run so much farther that they enter areas where hounds and riders on horseback cannot follow.

It is a strain particularly on the few remaining foxhunting clubs in the densely populated area surrounding New York City, where encroaching development is leaving hunters with less room to roam.

“Those territories are mapped out or delegated.

What the coyote has done is made it more difficult because the fox didn’t run into other areas,” said Den-

 Associated press

Hunt master William T. Stuart, from Fairfield County Hounds, collects the hounds for a hunt, in Bridgewater, Conn. At the last fox-hunting club in the state, it’s been three years since the last fox sighting and coyotes have become the hunters’ new quarry. nis Foster, executive director of the Virginia-based Masters of Foxhounds Association, which oversees some 155 clubs in 37 U.S. states and Canada.

It has been three years since the last fox sighting for Fairfield County Hounds, a hunting club in Bridgewater, 75 miles north of New York, that is the last fox-hunting club in

Connecticut.

The coyotes receive mixed reviews as substitute targets. Club members say the coyotes have not changed the essence of the experience — the braying of the hounds, the vistas seen from horseback — but they are less sly and playful. The coyotes also run so fast and through such rugged terrain they are effec-

tively impossible to catch.

“When you do find one, the chase is so fast you’ve really got to hang on,” said Mary Huribal, a 51-yearold former show rider and nurse from Easton.

A hunt began with the blast of a horn last week on a Bridgewater field as 18 American foxhounds were released from the back of a truck, fed treats and di-

rected toward the woods.

As the hounds followed a scent up and over Wolf Pit Mountain, the riders, who are not armed, gave chase by circling around on a more manageable path for the horses. The hunts are faster with coyotes and within three hours the riders had returned in time for lunch — without catching their prey.

Coyotes moved into Connecticut around the middle of the last century and have outcompeted foxes for territory, according to Paul Rego, a state wildlife biologist. There are still some foxes in the area, he said, but state officials receive a large number of complaints about coyotes attacking pets and livestock.

The hunts require vast expanses of undeveloped land — meaning property owners must give hunters permission to pass through.

The Bridgewater club, which was founded 90 years ago, relocated from nearby Newtown in the 1980s as rural property changed hands and some new owners refused to allow access.

Several other clubs in the Northeast have closed over the last couple decades due to development.

Snow falls Dec. 10 as people begin to arrive to the Capitol Building in Washington. Federal forecasters don’t expect this winter to be a chilly sequel to last year’s dreaded polar vortex and California’s rain-blocking weather system.

Don’t expect winter to be polar vortex redux

by SETH BORENSTEIN associated press

WASHINGTON — If you thought last winter was a horror show, with cold blasts from the polar vortex and a lack of California rain, here’s some good news: No sequel is expected this year, federal forecasters say.

Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that the upcoming winter looks pretty average in general. He doesn’t expect a lot of extreme conditions like last year’s cold outbreaks when Arctic air dipped south with the polar vortex.

“A repeat of last winter is not particularly likely,” said Halpert, acting director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be cold air and snow, which is normal for much of the country during winter, Halpert said. It just won’t persist as much as it did last year, when extreme weather seemed to be stuck in place, he said.

Similarly, the high pressure ridge off the Pacific coast that last year kept rain out of California during its crucial winter rainy season is unlikely to return

in force, Halpert said.

NOAA didn’t predict last winter’s extremes in last year’s winter forecast.

For December through February, NOAA forecasts warmer-than-normal winter temperatures for most of the West, northern tier and northern New England, with cooler weather in the Southeast, and average temperatures elsewhere.

The agency predicts wetter-than-normal conditions stretching from Southern California to Florida and up to northern New Hampshire, with dry patches in the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes. Average precipitation is forecast elsewhere.

A long-expected El Nino — a warming of the tropical Pacific that changes weather worldwide — makes last year’s extremes less likely and the wetter, cooler south more likely, Halpert said.

Other private weather forecasters are predicting a slightly cooler winter than NOAA. Judah Cohen, director of seasonal forecast at Atmospheric and Environmental Research in Lexington, Massachusetts, has pioneered winter forecasts that link colder Eastern U.S. weather to years when there is more snow on the ground in Siberia in October.

Texas Tech Homecoming Parade kicks off Friday

BY KAREN MICHAEL A-J Media

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014 B6

Last year’s Texas Tech Homecoming Parade was canceled because the game was scheduled for 11 a.m. on a Saturday.

But this year’s parade will start at 6 p.m. Friday night, so it will not conflict with the 2:30 p.m. Saturday kickoff in the Red Raider's football game with Kansas.

The parade will start at the First Baptist Church and head west on Broadway to the university entrance. The parade will make a left at Akron Avenue, then a right at 18th Street. Small cars will exit

the parade at Flint Avenue while floats and larger vehicles will continue on to the parking lot at the dead end of 18th Street.

With a theme of “Tech Goes Hollywood: Coming to a Screen Near You,” the parade will have more than 40 entries, according to Jon Mark Bernal, associate director of Student Union and Activities. The floats have been constructed by fraternal organizations and other student groups.

The Goin’ Band from Raiderland, spirit squads and the Masked Rider will also be in the Homecoming Parade.

Bernal said Tech has held the

parade on Fridays in the past, most recently about a dozen years ago.

The parade last year was canceled because the game was scheduled at 11 a.m. and there was concern that

there would not be enough time.

“We pulled a committee together in the spring,” Bernal said.

Students suggested the parade be held Friday night.

“Then we don’t have to worry about kickoff,” he said. “People are really excited about it, because students do not want to have to battle kickoff time.”

The parade is not just for Tech students, he said.

“It’s open to anyone. We want all the Lubbock community to come out,” Bernal said.

Following the parade, the public is also welcome at a showtime event at 7:30 p.m. at United Su-

judge: Wraps up speech with guns up FROM page B1 The principles of the Constitution to which the judge wants the country to return come from natural law, he said. Thomas Jefferson understood those rights, he said, and used them as inspiration in the document.

“The natural law teaches that our rights come from humanity and not from the government,” he said. “The freedom of speech preexisted the government. It doesn’t come from the government — it comes from humanity.”

The Second Amendment was inspired by leaders who over-governed during British rule, Napolitano continued.

“Your right to bear arms is not about the right to shoot deer. It’s the right to shoot tyrants when they take over the government.”

The speaker received a warm response from his Red Raider audience when he pointed his thumb and index finger in a guns-up signal.

The showtime will end with a Homecoming pep rally.

The only cost to fans will be concessions, he said, with free parking available west of the arena.

Natalie Parras shows her daughter some pumpkins on the 6th annual Pumpkin Trail in Lubbock on Thursday.

We came last year and we plan on coming again next year.”

Nancy Neil, Lubbock’s indoor recreational coordinator, said about 1,500 pumpkins were a part of Thursday’s trail, which will be on display until Sunday evening. She expects even more pumpkins to be donated Friday and said the family-friendly event wouldn’t be possible without the community’s help.

“It’s an opportunity ... to provide family opportunities for the Lubbock community,” Neil said. “This one is an event where we actually partner with the citizens of Lubbock because if they didn’t donate their pumpkins to the trail, we would have no trail. ...

Seuss-themed display with quotes about individuality and being creative and unique.

Chaffin-Poeling said she has been coming out to the event since it first started.

“I love the creativity of the different pumpkins,” Chaffin-Poeling said.

Her 9-year-old daughter Magnolia said she also enjoys wandering along the trail and seeing the different pumpkin designs.

Although Moreland didn’t submit a pumpkin for the trail this year, she enjoys the community feel of the event and looks forward to contributing a pumpkin in the future once Peyton is older.

“I’m glad they’re finally doing something safe for the kids instead of just having churches doing the trunk-or-treats,” she said.

“It makes it more of a community event instead of just a church event. I think it’s a good idea and I think they need to continue doing it.” sarah.rafique@lubbockonline.com  766-2159 Follow Sarah on Twitter @SarahRafique

Texas Tech is alerting students about two incidents of indecent exposure on campus after a man exposed his genitals to women studying in the library.

An officer was dispatched to the Texas Tech University Library on Wednesday after a female student reported she was sitting in a study carrel on the first floor stack-level of the library about 4:30 p.m., when she observed a male standing in between two aisles of books while intentionally exposing his genitals, according to a campus crime alert notification.

“The student was alarmed and offended by the male’s behavior and quickly fled the area,” according to the report.

Police searched the library but did not find the suspect, who is described as a black male, about 6 feet tall with average build and short hair. In both incidences, the suspect was described as wearing a red

T-shirt and dark pants.

The first incident occurred about 4:45 p.m. Oct. 10, when a female student reported she was sitting in a closed study carrel on the second floor stack level of the library when a black male knocked on the door.

The student reported looking out the window of the closed door and observing a man who was standing outside while intentionally exposing his genitals, according to the report.

The student called a friend who responded to the location with library staff, but by that time the male had already left the area. Police also searched the area, but did not find the suspect.

Anyone who has experienced or witnessed similar incidences or who can identify the suspect is encouraged to contact the Texas Tech Police Department’s non-emergency line at 742-3931 or 743-2000. sarah.rafique@lubbockonline.com  766-2159 Follow Sarah on Twitter @SarahRafique

Man eventually caught after chase with police a-j media

A man was eventually arrested after police say he attempted to evade officers during a traffic stop early Thursday morning in Lubbock.

Officers initiated a traffic stop on a Garcia 2007 white Nissan Pathfinder for possible narcotics possession about 1:40 a.m. Thursday in the 1700 block of Ave R, according to a news release.

The driver of the ve-

hicle, Jamie Garcia, 29, refused to stop and continued to evade police until striking a concrete sign about three to four miles away at the intersection of Itasca Street and North Knoxville Avenue.

Garcia fled on foot, leaving two female passengers behind, the release states.

A Department of Public Safety helicopter was on scene, quickly located Garcia, and directed officers and a K9 to his location.

Garcia was arrested on an evading arrest charge and the passengers were released after being checked by EMS.

Prop 1: Lawmakers helping voters understand impact josie musico  A-j media

Judge Andrew Napolitano addresses a crowd at the Texas Tech campus on Thursday night.

Group to hold ‘Heat the Town’ The South Plains Association of Governments Area Agency on Aging and the South Plains Chapter of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America will come together to hold their 14th annual “Heat the Town” on Saturday, Oct. 25.

Heating and air conditioning contractors and other businesses will be donating their time, money and materials to make free repairs for people in need of heat for the winter.

Only the first 60 callers will be accepted and they must be the homeowners (no renters), who live within the city limits of Lubbock, be low-income and 65 and older.

The homeowner will need to be home between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

They will not make return trips later in the day.

FROM page B1 our state’s aging and congested transportation system and will do so without raising taxes, charging new fees or using tolls.”

Other legislators and state leaders agree with Nichols and Pickett because, according to the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University, the state needs about $5 billion a year for road maintenance and construction — just to keep up with the current traffic congestion.

That’s why state officials are also urging Texas voters to approve the measure the Legislature put on this year’s ballot .

While “it’s not a perfect solution,” Texas House Speaker Joe Straus said during a recent visit to Amarillo, “It’s a very, very strong step forward in providing revenue for transportation.”

The proposed measure, which

requires voter approval because it would be an amendment to the Texas Constitution, would take a portion of revenue from oil and gas severance taxes and place it into the State Highway Fund to bolster transportation projects.

Though Proposition 1 is expected to pass because there is no major opposition, some members of the Texas Panhandle/South Plains legislative delegation said a strong push is necessary to make sure the voters understand its importance — and approve it.

“It is extremely important Proposition 1 passes,” said Rep. Four Price, a member of the budget-writing House Appropriations Committee.

“It is a way to put transportation needs without raising taxes,” Price, R-Amarillo, said. “It is not going to meet all of our needs but is definitely a step in the right direction

because this is a piece of an overall plan that needs to be put in place.”

Rep. John Smithee, also an Amarillo Republican, sees it the Frullo same way.

“It is not the solution to our highway problem, but I would say it is important because there is no money over there right now,” Smithee said. “I think any money that you can put in would be helpful to get our highway system, not back where it needs to be, but to start moving in that direction.”

Rep. John Frullo, R-Lubbock, said the passage of Proposition 1 is critical to the West Texas economy.

“We’re growing as a state, West Texas is growing, Lubbock is growing and we really need to make sure that we have our infrastructure,”

Frullo said during a recent visit to Austin.

“Lubbock has done a great job,” he said. “We have the loop, we have the outer loop, the Marsha Sharp Freeway, all you have to do is drive around in Austin for two minutes to realize the problems we have” are minor compared to larger urban areas.

“It took me 20 minutes, and I am probably being generous, to go from 15th Street to Cesar Chavez (Boulevard),” Frullo said in reference to the approximately 20-block distance between the State Capitol area and one of the most transited streets in downtown Austin. “Another time I was coming to Austin from San Antonio and it took us about an hour just to drive 10 miles.” enrique.rangel@morris.com (512) 673-7553

Stockton’s running: TD or miss for Red Raiders TECH FOOTBALL/RB flashes big-play speed, just not all the time

Texas Tech freshman Justin Stockton leaves West Virginia safety Dravon Henry in his wake on a 69-yard touchdown run last week.

Justin Stockton’s first two carries last week against West Virginia went for 1 yard and minus-1 yard. His fourth went for a 69-yard touchdown.

That’s been typical throughout his first season as a Texas Tech running back. The freshman from Cibolo Steele gets swallowed up at the line or goes the distance.

Facing Seagraves not an easy task Seagraves is better than any other team in its classification by a wider margin than any other team on the South Plains.

Before the Abernathy and Crosbyton fans hyperventilate, this is not a dismissal or a failure to acknowledge the impressive 6-0 starts both of those teams.

It’s more of an admission the Class 2A Eagles are frighteningly good.

They 7-0 Eagles outscored Jal (N.M.) and Floydada a combined 97-0 before beating stout Class 3A Muleshoe 40-34.

Next up was Class 4A Lamesa, who was drubbed 50-7. Stanton fell 32-10.

Trinity Christian was disposed of 66-14 and Sundown was axed 54-6.

The point of this isn’t to blindly laud coach Steve Heryford’s team for the magnificence it has displayed.

It’s to examine what it’s like to be the coach of a team that has to face it running back Cory Kyle (99 carries for 1,347 yards and 18 touchdowns) and quarterback Tanner Rodriguez (50 carries for 702 rushing yards, 17 of 32 passing for 474 yards and 19 combined touchdowns), among others, including Uriel Martinez, Robby Pinon and Richard Longoria.

“It’s a good measuring stick to see where you want to be,” Sundown coach Steve Smith said.

Tech offers two 2016 players Texas Tech has offered fourstar prospect Tyler Vaughns.

The Bishop Amat (Calif.) junior is the No. 8 wide receiver and No. 48 player overall, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rating. USC has received 86 percent of the votes in his 247Sports Crystal Ball, Washington the remaining 14 percent.

He holds five other scholarship offers, including ones from Colorado State, UCLA and Washington State.

In an interview with RealDawg.com, he said USC and Washington were in his top three but didn’t say what the third school was. He has an unofficial visit planned to Washington on Oct. 24.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder has 33 receptions for 455 yards and six touchdowns this season. He caught 27 passes for 395 yards and four touchdowns last year.

The Red Raiders have also offered unrated wide receiver Jack Jones. The 5-foot-11, 144pound Long Beach Poly junior also holds offers from Boise State, UCLA and USC. Daniel Paulling, Wreckem247

Different days High SchoolS/ Cooper making way toward playoffs with win over Lubbock High

By Phil Terrigno A-J High School Sports Editor

At this stage of the season, the games mean different things to different teams.

As much fun as Lubbock High coach Jason Strunk and Cooper coach Max Kattwinkel — two of the few coaches in touch digitally — appeared to have in the week leading up to their meeting in trading comical blog posts, it didn’t stop the inevitable from happening.

One of these teams is on track to end its season during the holidays, while the other has been ravaged by injuries.

Cooper Both played their part Thursday in a 3414 Cooper win over the Westerners at Lowrey Field, a result the Pirates claimed despite Lubbock sitting starting quarterback Kolton Ehlers and starting running back Seth Watts. “(Backup quarterback Grady Atkins) was a little shaky at first until he settled down,” Kattwinkel said. “He’s got good composure.

Obviously he throws the ball really well and he’s a different style quarterback from Kolton, who’s more of a

Howard to make his visit to Tech this weekend recruiting/San Angelo Central defensive end recently moved from QB by daniel paulling wreckem247 editor

Eli Howard’s move to defense has rewarded him well.

The two-star strong-side defensive end has earned scholarship offers from North Texas, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin after moving from quarterback his junior year.

The San Angelo Central senior is scheduled for an unofficial visit to Texas Tech’s

2:30 p.m. game Saturday against Kansas.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder is the No. 111 strong-side defensive end and No. 2,378 player overall, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rating.

Although he cheers for Texas, Howard wants to play somewhere in the Big 12. He plans to make a commitment in December or January, but said that could change.

“Right now, I’m really focused on San Angelo Central football,” he said. “I also wouldn’t know what to do if Tech offered.

I’d be tempted to bite on it.”

He wants to see what he calls Tech’s “young, enthusiastic coaches” and a Tech win.

DALLAS — A judge threw out a sexual assault lawsuit filed against Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Thursday, saying the claims were barred by Texas law limiting the time in which a case can be filed.

Jana Weckerly had accused Jones of grabbing her genitals and forcibly kissing her in 2009. Weckerly also alleged an attorney for Jones took a memory card with photos and destroyed it, and that she was paid hush money for several years after the incident. Jones denied the allegations.

State District Judge Dale Tillery ruled that the allegations, even if true, fell outside the five-year statute of limitations for civil sexual assault cases.

Tillery’s order also redacted certain allegations made by Weckerly in court filings, and it banned attorneys on both sides from discussing the case with the media even after its dismissal.

Weckerly’s attorney, Thomas Bowers, said his client did not receive any money from Jones or the Cowboys as part of the case ending. He declined to comment further.

Seguin’s goal lifts Stars over Penguins PITTSBURGH — Tyler Seguin scored a power-play goal with 2.9 seconds remaining to give the Dallas Stars a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.

Seguin’s goal capped a furious comeback as Dallas scored twice in the final 2:57 to win its second straight and snap a six-game losing streak in Pittsburgh. Jamie Benn and Antoine Roussel also scored for the Stars, who won in Pittsburgh for the first time since Dec. 23, 2000.

Sidney Crosby had his fourth goal of the season and Chris Kunitz also scored — both on power plays in the first 10 minutes of the game — for the Penguins.

Dallas, trailing 2-1, thought it had the tying score with 3:33 left, but Jason Spezza’s wouldbe goal was waved off after it was ruled that Seguin interfered with goalie Marc-Andre Fleury during a partial breakaway.

The Stars tied the game seconds later, with Benn getting his second of the year when he slammed home a rebound from the top of the crease.

Rangers hire Pirates’ Banister as new manager

by STEPHEN HAWKINS

Black Yellow Magenta Cyan

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014 C3

Associated Press

The Texas Rangers hired Pittsburgh Pirates bench coach Jeff Banister as their new manager.

Banister got the nod over two other finalists, interim manager Tim Bogar and Cleveland Indians bullpen coach Kevin Cash.

General manager Jon Daniels said Thursday night that Banister won over the Rangers during the interview process. Daniels described Banister as the best fit for a team that quickly wants to recreate a winning culture after its most losses since 1985.

“Jeff really impressed us across the board,” Daniels said. “From

people that he works with now with the Pirates, the people that used to work there, and players that he’s had recently and some years back, stars as well as role players, and everyone came back with the desire to win, a love for the game, the love for people, the ability to reach people, the ability to connect with a variety of people, an interest in learning more.”

Banister will be formally introduced as Ron Washington’s replacement during a news conference Friday at the Rangers ballpark.

The 50-year-old Banister has been Pittsburgh’s bench coach for manager Clint Hurdle the

past four years and in the Pirates organization for 29 seasons.

Hurdle was the Rangers’ hitting coach when they went to their Banister first World Series in 2010.

“The entire Pirates organization is extremely proud of Jeff and happy for him and his family.

We believe it will be an excellent fit for him and the Texas Rangers,” Hurdle said in a statement.

“He has been an instrumental reason for the success the Pirates organization has had over the course of his tenure with the ballclub.”

Pirates GM Neal Huntington thanked Banister “for his longstanding impact and dedication.

His leadership, character, work ethic, knowledge of the game, energy and passion made us better every day he was a Pirate.”

Bogar was the perceived frontrunner after leading the Rangers to a 14-8 record to end the regular season following Washington’s sudden resignation Sept. 5 for personal reasons. Bogar was in his first season as Rangers bench coach. He still has a year left on his contract.

Daniels said Bogar was understandably disappointed about not getting the job.

The GM said he would be com-

fortable with Bogar remaining if everybody felt good about the situation, but said the next step would be for Banister to reach out to the staff. That includes pitching coach Mike Maddux, who was one of the other internal candidates interviewed for the job.

As for anyone joining Bannister from the Pirates, Daniels said that seemed unlikely.

Daniels joined Texas in 2002 and became GM after the 2005 season. A year later, he made his first managerial move, replacing the fired Buck Showalter with Washington and going through the most successful stretch in team history.

Royals’ run has Kansas City abuzz

by BILL DRAPER Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This Midwestern city best known for its barbecue, bebop jazz and, for most of the past three decades, bad baseball has exploded into a sea of blue as long-suffering Royals fans suddenly find their team at the center of the sports universe.

Kansas City’s improbable playoff run stoked a community pride that has blue-clad strangers giving high-fives on the street while police officers thank residents on social media for abstaining from crime — at least on days when the team is playing.

Twenty-nine years after the Royals beat St. Louis in the 1985 World Series, a whole new generation of Kansas City fans is learning how to celebrate winning baseball for the first time.

Sporting goods stores are seeing team gear flying off the shelves, while sports bars around town shook Wednesday afternoon as the Royals won the AL pennant smack dab in the

middle of happy hour.

“We’re all so excited we can hardly stand it,” a beaming Gail Locascio said Thursday morning as she sifted through Royals window decals at a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Merriam, Kansas.

The 61-year-old Overland Park, Kansas, resident was loading up on T-shirts to send to her two sons, longtime Royals fans who have moved away from the area.

A mile up the road in Mission, Kansas, dozens of people milled around half-empty racks of blue Tshirts at a Kansas Sampler apparel store that opened nearly three hours earlier than normal on Thursday.

Nicole Green, a manager at the store, said 10 to 15 people were already waiting outside when she got to work at 6:45 a.m. Though the store usually opens at 10 a.m., Green said customers were allowed inside at 7:15 a.m. to wait for the first shipment of shirts, which arrived soon afterward.

“We were waiting, and we invited them to come in and wait with us,” Green said.

3-run homer sends Giants to World Series

by JANIE McCAULEY associated press

SAN FRANCISCO — Travis Ishikawa hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending the San Francisco Giants to the World Series with a 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.

These every-other-year Giants clinched the NL Championship Series in Game 5 and now will face the Royals in an all wild-card Fall Classic that begins Tuesday night in Kansas City.

Pablo Sandoval singled to start the ninth against Michael Wacha, making his first appearance of the postseason for the Cardinals. After an out, Brandon Belt walked to bring up Ishikawa, who drove a 2-0 pitch into the elevated seats in right field.

Ishikawa hit the first game-ending homer in NLCS history. And it was the first time a homer sent the Giants into the World Series since perhaps the most famous drive ever in baseball — Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” in a 1951 playoff.

Ishikawa knew right away on his first career postseason homer, raising his right arm into the air as he watched his ball sail into the seats.

San Francisco left fielder Michael Morse celebrates after the Giants’ win against the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the National League baseball championship series Thursday in San Francisco.

He was immediately mobbed at home plate after he rounded the bases as fireworks shot off from the center field scoreboard.

Pinch-hitter Michael Morse homered leading off the eighth against

Pat Neshek, who replaced Adam Wainwright to start the inning, to tie it 3-all.

Morse was batting for Madison Bumgarner, who was named NLCS MVP.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

— Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes and the New England Patriots held off the New York Jets 27-25 when Nick Folk’s 58-yard field goal attempt was blocked on the last play Thursday night.

The surprisingly competitive Jets suffered their sixth straight loss after taking a 19-17 lead with just under 9 minutes left in the third quarter on Chris Ivory’s 1-yard run.

Stephen Gostkowski put the Patriots (5-2) ahead to stay with his second field goal, a 36-yarder with 4:10 to go in the third.

Brady’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola gave them an eight-point lead with 4:10 remaining.

The Jets (1-6) made it 27-25 on Geno Smith’s 10yard scoring pass to Jeff

Missed extra point brings perspective BY krista pirtle A-j media

Black Yellow Magenta Cyan

Ryan Martinez’s joints don’t move as much. But, Wednesday night, he got to stretch out his leg.

After the Cooper junior varsity’s first touchdown, Martinez, who was diagnosed with arthrogryposis (a curving of joints) when he was born, took the field to kick the extra point for the Pirates.

“Max Kattwinkel approached me last week and said, ‘Hey, will you be willing to help me out with something?’” Lubbock High coach Jason Strunk said. “He told me he couldn’t have contact, so I talked to my kids and told them not to rush him.”

Strunk said he didn’t care if the extra point caused his team to lose. He just wanted Martinez to have the ability to go out on the field and at-

tempt the kick.

Martinez took his place on the field and then kicked the ball, only to see it fall short of the uprights.

But that short kick proved to be a huge moment for Cooper and Lubbock High.

Players on both teams congratulated him after the kick.

In the “pretty neat deal” Kattwinkel set up a week in advance, Strunk said

it provided some “crystal clear perspective.”

“At times we take for granted our physical abilities,” Strunk said. “We take plays off. We don’t give 100 percent. We miss practice.

That kid just wanted to make it on the field and attempt a kick. That’s having courage to fight through things.” krista.pirtle@lubbockonline.com  766-8735 Follow Krista on Twitter @AJ_KristaPirtle

Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg talks about his team on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.

Previewing the Big 12:

Iowa State This year’s Iowa State team is versatile. And that should surprise no one.

Especially after last season when center/power forward Georges Niang often brought the ball up the floor before alley-ooping to point guard DeAndre Kane for a quick bucket.

Niang, after averaging 16.7 points per game a year ago, lost 25 pounds over the offseason which adds to his versatility.

In the past, Iowa State has run more of a court spread, a fouror five-out type of offense. This season, Hoiberg can put some more traditional sets in the playbook because the Cyclones added some height.

“We are able, with the makeup of our group, to run some more quick hitters and take advantage maybe of some mismatches because of the size of our players,” Hoiberg said. “I’ve been really impressed with just the IQ of our guys to recognize who’s got the best mismatch out there … and we give a guy a side and space the

floor on the weak side.”

With the losses of All-Americans Melvin Ejim and DeAndre Kane, Hoiberg has plenty of experience returning from last year’s squad and adds depth with transfers - junior forwards Jameel McKay (6-foot-9) and Abdel Nader (6-foot-6) and senior guard Bryce Dejean-Jones.

Nader gives the Cyclones some depth on the perimeter, while McKay is a true shot blocker, something Hoiberg hasn’t had in Ames. Due to transfer rules, McKay won’t take the court until November.

Senior transfer Bryce DejeanJones, from UNLV, is expected to start at the shooting guard position, but he can play any position on the floor.

“He’s extremely athletic,” Hoiberg said. “He plays above the rim in transition. … He’s a guy that you can use all over the court. You can post him. He’s every bit of 6-foot-6. He’s a very good midrange shooter.”

terrigno: Few teams can challenge Seagraves’ talent FROM page C1 an obvious measure. If you’re playing in a weak district, you get out in the first round (of playoffs).

In my experience in 2A, these guys are as good as anything I’ve ever faced.

That’s (after coaching) in a district with three state champions and two other state qualifiers.”

Did any of that matter to his players?

“I wouldn’t say we went in expecting to lose,” Smith said. “You don’t lie to the kids. You know you have to tell them they have to get turnovers and can’t make mental errors to be in a position to be competitive. I can’t change Seagraves’ DNA or what they do. It’s all about us.

You tell the kids, ‘I’m not mad that we lost, I’m mad that we had way too many turnovers.”

Morton has Seagraves this week. And then Smyer and Plains quietly wait their turn to step up to the guillotine.

“They are extremely aware of it,” Morton coach Jimmy Randolph said. “They know that Seagraves is extremely blessed and extremely talented. But we spend a lot of time, especially this time of the year, in the film room. Figuring out which guy you’re going to be blocking and what we can do to try and take advantage of it. Not many places with them.”

So, in short, there’s not much drama. No nervous tears or terrified tones. All I got from the phone calls I made about playing the

Eagles was a chilling calm about impending doom.

Players know, coaches know, fans should know: there are realities in this sport. And they can be harsh. It doesn’t mean the rest of the teams didn’t lift weights, do box jumps and run sprints.

It just means that games mean different things to different teams.

“There are a lot of good coaches with a lot of good techniques, but there’s not a 2A school with the 4A, 5A speed at three or four skill positions like them,” Smith said. “So, they’re not going to be challenged physically. It’s going to be five or six weeks until they see someone that can challenge them.”

And therein lies a potential problem, although I wouldn’t put too much stock into it.

Yes, Kyle and some starters might get pulled after the first half of games. But, they took their lumps to Wellington in an ugly loss to end last year.

When I met this core of sophomore players, they admitted that beating stuck with them.

And they’ve been delivering Wellington-like shellackings all year.

That’s not even touching on their defense, which allows 10.1 points per game.

“As they go deeper in the playoffs, their defense will receive equal billing,” Randolph said. “Because their competition will come up and it will be evident how good they are on defense.”

Now, that’s frightening.

Lubbock High’s Jacob Medrano (12) and company tackle Cooper’s Grady Atkins (8) during Cooper’s 34-14 win on Thursday.

cooper: Pirates rest some starters FROM page C1 coaching tenure that Kattwinkel sat an available quarterback for a district game.

After leading 14-7 at halftime, Cooper added two field goals from Ethan Ekdahl and touchdown receptions from Evan McHugh and Jordan Salas.

It’s only second half defensive blemish was a 60yard touchdown reception from Devante Greathouse (eight catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns). Atkins finished 14 of 22 for 236 yards and challenged Lubbock High’s (1-6) secondary with Salas (three catches for 86 yards) and McHugh, one of the area’s only passcatching tight ends (seven catches for 108 yards).

“Abilene Cooper used a tight end and Dumas a little bit, it’s really more prevalent with (Lubbock Cooper),” Strunk said. “They’ll release him out on the flat and max protect with him so our outside linebackers Jacob Medrano and Greathouse were aware of where he’s at. They also have a bit of a sniffer back that they release out of the backfield.”

In the first five possessions of the game, the teams alternated punts, starting with a Lubbock High attempt that was blocked.

On its third possession, the Pirates had a drive highlighted by a 30-yard Salas run on a reverse and a 14-yard McHugh reception that was capped off by a 1-yard run from Atkins.

After Lubbock High punted on its ensuing drive, Cooper scored on an 18-yard Salas reception to take a 14-0 lead with 4:15 left before halftime.

The Westerners cut the lead in half with a 3-yard touchdown pass from Morgan to Greathouse after Lubbock High converted a fourth-and-two earlier in the drive and Morgan broke a 20-yard run to the Cooper 10-yard line.

Strunk made a significant change to the Lubbock High offense starting two weeks ago in a win at Borger by eliminating its

The Westerners had success when quarterback Dae Dae Morgan, who is playing in place of injured starter James Garcia, scrambled (16 rushes for 129 yards) out of an empty backfield.

“When (Ricky Mendez) got hurt, coach stuck me in there at rover,” Cooper’s Tycer Farmer said.

“I know pretty much the whole defense. I just had to rely on my instincts. My job at the time was flats and they would run a slant from across the field. I just had to cover that guy and wait till he passed the line

Morgan finished 12 of 21 passing for 146 yards with two touchdowns (both to Greathouse) and one interception.

Lubbock High visits Lake View next week before having a bye during Halloween weekend while Cooper’s open week doesn’t come until the last week of the season.

“10 games in a row with two scrimmages and no weeks off,” Kattwinkel said. “That’s kind of why we (rested our players).

Just to get them healthy for the stretch run. If we can get them healthy, we have a shot to make a run.”

Monterey-Coronado could decide playoff berth BY phil terrigno a-j high school editor

Unfortunately for Monterey and Coronado, the importance surrounding their Friday matchup isn’t exactly a compliment.

Both teams, which are under new head coaches, showed both enormous progress Power and occasional inin their first Matchup eptitude six games leading up FOCUSING to district play.

After one district on a game and the manmust-see ner in which both game. teams lost to newly formed District 2-6A opponents, it’s clear that there’s still plenty of growing to do.

Coronado (3-4) lost 56-10 to Amarillo High and Monterey (3-4) lost 63-28 to Frenship. Well-regarded Tascosa is the only team these two haven’t seen.

Process of elimination indicates that the loser of this game, barring an upset win later in district play, will most likely end up being the fifth place team and find itself out of playoff contention.

“I did tell my guys, ‘you need to win this game,” Monterey coach Wayne Hutchinson said. “But I did say this, ‘it’s not do or die.’ But this is a playofftype atmosphere game and the team that wins this game will get a foot in the door for the playoffs.

Monterey’s Baylor Mitchell (5), shown running against Frenship last week, will lead the Plainsmen against Coronodo on Friday.

Coronado has struggled defending the run this season, most notably by allowing Odessa High to pick up 608 yards rushing and being overwhelmed by Amarillo High last week.

“Odessa High was tough nosed, not as athletic as these two,” Coronado coach Seth Parr said. “This is the best group that we’ve gone against. Amarillo High didn’t have a bad quarterback-running back

tandem. But this offensive line makes them roll, too. The whole offensive outfit is not just (Mitchell and Johnson). The guys up front do a great job.”

Slaton’s defensive front of Jameson Jackson, Adrian Moreno, Kade Kitten and Mike Williams have to be on point if the Tigers can hope to slow the same offense that beat Idalou, Estacado and Levelland.

Texas Tech Homecoming Parade kicks off Friday

BY KAREN MICHAEL A-J Media

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014 B6

Last year’s Texas Tech Homecoming Parade was canceled because the game was scheduled for 11 a.m. on a Saturday.

But this year’s parade will start at 6 p.m. Friday night, so it will not conflict with the 2:30 p.m. Saturday kickoff in the Red Raider's football game with Kansas.

The parade will start at the First Baptist Church and head west on Broadway to the university entrance. The parade will make a left at Akron Avenue, then a right at 18th Street. Small cars will exit

the parade at Flint Avenue while floats and larger vehicles will continue on to the parking lot at the dead end of 18th Street.

With a theme of “Tech Goes Hollywood: Coming to a Screen Near You,” the parade will have more than 40 entries, according to Jon Mark Bernal, associate director of Student Union and Activities. The floats have been constructed by fraternal organizations and other student groups.

The Goin’ Band from Raiderland, spirit squads and the Masked Rider will also be in the Homecoming Parade.

Bernal said Tech has held the

parade on Fridays in the past, most recently about a dozen years ago.

The parade last year was canceled because the game was scheduled at 11 a.m. and there was concern that

there would not be enough time.

“We pulled a committee together in the spring,” Bernal said.

Students suggested the parade be held Friday night.

“Then we don’t have to worry about kickoff,” he said. “People are really excited about it, because students do not want to have to battle kickoff time.”

The parade is not just for Tech students, he said.

“It’s open to anyone. We want all the Lubbock community to come out,” Bernal said.

Following the parade, the public is also welcome at a showtime event at 7:30 p.m. at United Su-

“The natural law teaches that our rights come from humanity and not from the government,” he said. “The freedom of speech preexisted the government. It doesn’t come from the government — it comes from humanity.”

The Second Amendment was inspired by leaders who over-governed during British rule, Napolitano continued.

“Your right to bear arms is not about the right to shoot deer. It’s the right to shoot tyrants when they take over the government.”

The speaker received a warm response from his Red Raider audience when he pointed his thumb and index finger in a guns-up signal.

The Tech spirit squads and Goin’ Band will be performing before fans have a chance to win prizes in contests like half-court shots, 30second shootouts, a dunk contest and a three-point contest.

The showtime will end with a Homecoming pep rally.

Fans can also attend the bonfire at 9 p.m. outside the United Supermarket Arena on the rugby fields.

The only cost to fans will be concessions, he said, with free parking available west of the arena.

Natalie Parras shows her daughter some pumpkins on the 6th annual Pumpkin Trail in Lubbock on Thursday.

trail: More than 1,500 carved pumpkins so far for annual display FROM page B1 look like Mike Wazowski from “Monsters Inc.” — as well as traditional orange pumpkins carved with the Spiderman logo, faces and the Texas Tech double T. “He likes it except he keeps calling them apples instead of pumpkins, but he’s learning,” Moreland said. “I’m hoping it’s going to be a tradition for us.

We came last year and we plan on coming again next year.”

Nancy Neil, Lubbock’s indoor recreational coordinator, said about 1,500 pumpkins were a part of Thursday’s trail, which will be on display until Sunday evening. She expects even more pumpkins to be donated Friday and said the family-friendly event wouldn’t be possible without the community’s help.

“It’s an opportunity ... to provide family opportunities for the Lubbock community,” Neil said. “This one is an event where we actually partner with the citizens of Lubbock because if they didn’t donate their pumpkins to the trail, we would have no trail. ...

Tristan Hester, 3, finds himself in a sea of pumpkins at the 6th annual Pumpkin Trail on Thursday.

To me, that’s what’s gratifying about it.”

While many families contributed just a couple of pumpkins, the trail featured some larger displays with about a dozen of the gourds.

Melanie Chaffin-Poeling and her two children volunteered this year to help set up pumpkins, and even some carved watermelons, for the First Unitarian Universalist Church’s Dr.

Seuss-themed display with quotes about individuality and being creative and unique.

Chaffin-Poeling said she has been coming out to the event since it first started.

“I love the creativity of the different pumpkins,” Chaffin-Poeling said.

Her 9-year-old daughter Magnolia said she also enjoys wandering along the trail and seeing the different pumpkin designs.

Although Moreland didn’t submit a pumpkin for the trail this year, she enjoys the community feel of the event and looks forward to contributing a pumpkin in the future once Peyton is older.

“I’m glad they’re finally doing something safe for the kids instead of just having churches doing the trunk-or-treats,” she said.

“It makes it more of a community event instead of just a church event. I think it’s a good idea and I think they need to continue doing it.” sarah.rafique@lubbockonline.com  766-2159 Follow Sarah on Twitter @SarahRafique

Texas Tech is alerting students about two incidents of indecent exposure on campus after a man exposed his genitals to women studying in the library.

An officer was dispatched to the Texas Tech University Library on Wednesday after a female student reported she was sitting in a study carrel on the first floor stack-level of the library about 4:30 p.m., when she observed a male standing in between two aisles of books while intentionally exposing his genitals, according to a campus crime alert notification.

“The student was alarmed and offended by the male’s behavior and quickly fled the area,” according to the report.

Police searched the library but did not find the suspect, who is described as a black male, about 6 feet tall with average build and short hair. In both incidences, the suspect was described as wearing a red

T-shirt and dark pants.

The first incident occurred about 4:45 p.m. Oct. 10, when a female student reported she was sitting in a closed study carrel on the second floor stack level of the library when a black male knocked on the door.

The student reported looking out the window of the closed door and observing a man who was standing outside while intentionally exposing his genitals, according to the report.

The student called a friend who responded to the location with library staff, but by that time the male had already left the area. Police also searched the area, but did not find the suspect.

Anyone who has experienced or witnessed similar incidences or who can identify the suspect is encouraged to contact the Texas Tech Police Department’s non-emergency line at 742-3931 or 743-2000. sarah.rafique@lubbockonline.com  766-2159 Follow Sarah on Twitter @SarahRafique

Man eventually caught after chase with police a-j media

A man was eventually arrested after police say he attempted to evade officers during a traffic stop early Thursday morning in Lubbock.

Officers initiated a traffic stop on a Garcia 2007 white Nissan Pathfinder for possible narcotics possession about 1:40 a.m. Thursday in the 1700 block of Ave R, according to a news release.

The driver of the ve-

hicle, Jamie Garcia, 29, refused to stop and continued to evade police until striking a concrete sign about three to four miles away at the intersection of Itasca Street and North Knoxville Avenue.

Garcia fled on foot, leaving two female passengers behind, the release states.

A Department of Public Safety helicopter was on scene, quickly located Garcia, and directed officers and a K9 to his location.

Garcia was arrested on an evading arrest charge and the passengers were released after being checked by EMS.

Prop 1: Lawmakers helping voters understand impact josie musico  A-j media

Judge Andrew Napolitano addresses a crowd at the Texas Tech campus on Thursday night.

Group to hold ‘Heat the Town’ The South Plains Association of Governments Area Agency on Aging and the South Plains Chapter of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America will come together to hold their 14th annual “Heat the Town” on Saturday, Oct. 25.

Heating and air conditioning contractors and other businesses will be donating their time, money and materials to make free repairs for people in need of heat for the winter.

Only the first 60 callers will be accepted and they must be the homeowners (no renters), who live within the city limits of Lubbock, be low-income and 65 and older.

The homeowner will need to be home between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

They will not make return trips later in the day.

To receive assistance, call 762-8721 or 687-0940.

FROM page B1 our state’s aging and congested transportation system and will do so without raising taxes, charging new fees or using tolls.”

Other legislators and state leaders agree with Nichols and Pickett because, according to the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University, the state needs about $5 billion a year for road maintenance and construction — just to keep up with the current traffic congestion.

That’s why state officials are also urging Texas voters to approve the measure the Legislature put on this year’s ballot .

While “it’s not a perfect solution,” Texas House Speaker Joe Straus said during a recent visit to Amarillo, “It’s a very, very strong step forward in providing revenue for transportation.”

The proposed measure, which

requires voter approval because it would be an amendment to the Texas Constitution, would take a portion of revenue from oil and gas severance taxes and place it into the State Highway Fund to bolster transportation projects.

Though Proposition 1 is expected to pass because there is no major opposition, some members of the Texas Panhandle/South Plains legislative delegation said a strong push is necessary to make sure the voters understand its importance — and approve it.

“It is extremely important Proposition 1 passes,” said Rep. Four Price, a member of the budget-writing House Appropriations Committee.

“It is a way to put transportation needs without raising taxes,” Price, R-Amarillo, said. “It is not going to meet all of our needs but is definitely a step in the right direction

because this is a piece of an overall plan that needs to be put in place.”

Rep. John Smithee, also an Amarillo Republican, sees it the Frullo same way.

“It is not the solution to our highway problem, but I would say it is important because there is no money over there right now,” Smithee said. “I think any money that you can put in would be helpful to get our highway system, not back where it needs to be, but to start moving in that direction.”

Rep. John Frullo, R-Lubbock, said the passage of Proposition 1 is critical to the West Texas economy.

“We’re growing as a state, West Texas is growing, Lubbock is growing and we really need to make sure that we have our infrastructure,”

Frullo said during a recent visit to Austin.

“Lubbock has done a great job,” he said. “We have the loop, we have the outer loop, the Marsha Sharp Freeway, all you have to do is drive around in Austin for two minutes to realize the problems we have” are minor compared to larger urban areas.

“It took me 20 minutes, and I am probably being generous, to go from 15th Street to Cesar Chavez (Boulevard),” Frullo said in reference to the approximately 20-block distance between the State Capitol area and one of the most transited streets in downtown Austin. “Another time I was coming to Austin from San Antonio and it took us about an hour just to drive 10 miles.” enrique.rangel@morris.com (512) 673-7553

goal: Golf tournaments some of group’s largest fundraisers FROM page B1 resources for affordable child care, adult literacy and youth mentoring.

“Our mission is giving people hope,” said Nicole Ashley, marketing director.

“We work to make the community a better place.”

A major platform is education, speakers said.

Doug Hensley’s presentation “Education Matters”

listed three phases of lifelong learning the charity supports. Those include “Success by 6” — about early-childhood education — “Success in School” and “Success for Life.”

Carla Olson of the Parenting Cottage stressed education as a top priority for young Lubbockites.

“They’re the future of our community. We have no

greater responsibility than to do everything possible to ensure their success,” she said.

Some of United Way’s biggest fundraisers are annual golf tournaments.

Speakers announced they raised $30,022 from the Stripes Turf + Surf Golf and Fishing Tournament, $96,529 from the 23rd annual Jacky Pierce Charity Classic Golf

Tournament and $107,229 from United Way’s Golf to Give Tournament.

“Each of these tournaments has a tremendous impact on our fundraising efforts,” Bass said. josephine.musico@lubbockonline.com  766-8796 www.facebook.com/pages/ Region-Agriculture Follow Josie on Twitter @josiemusico

BEAGLE 3 yr old Tri-Color, AKC registered,

free to a great home.

Daisy is a 3 yr old AKC registered healthy tri-colored Beagle. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations and heart worm prevention. She is a loving, cuddly dog who likes nothing better than snuggling up to her owner for a nap! She has been well-loved by a family with kids and another dog.

While we are sad to let her go, she needs a home with an owner dedicated to rehabilitating her in the area of potty training. She is mostly trained, but is not consistent. Please call 806-445-3935 if interested.

HOROSCOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY — Set your sights high. Some sacrifices will have to be made, but better things are waiting for you if you are detailed and earnest. If you make the necessary preparations to launch your ideas, you will achieve your dreams.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t follow the crowd. Show off your unique abilities, personality and assets. A charitable agency will benefit from your physical contribution.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be cautious of what you say to whom.

A remark that was meant for one person only may travel through the

grapevine, causing you embarrassment or difficulties at work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your capacity to learn will be magnified if you listen to experienced and stimulating individuals. Once you have done your research, you will make informed choices that will be beneficial.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be careful with your cash. Go over contracts or agreements to see if there is a way to pare down payments or reduce interest charges.

Be meticulous regarding personal investments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Now is the time for you to get together with someone special. Pull out all the stops, and find a place that has the right mood and music to make this a memorable evening.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you are attracted to someone in the workplace, be discreet. You must act professionally at all times. Take things slowly until you can totally trust the person you are interested in.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get out and about today. Your charm is skyrocketing, and you will attract all sorts of favorable attention from the

people you encounter. Romance is highlighted, so enjoy it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t be too demanding today.

Everyone has troubles, and no one is likely to be sympathetic toward you.

Spend some quiet time reflecting upon and tweaking your next move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be energized and ready to go.

Make use of your enthusiasm and take on as many tasks as you can.

You will make a new friend or romantic connection.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Financial gains are imminent. You will

need to tread carefully with impatient family members. Remain calm and remember that no one is perfect, including you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Set your generous nature free. Offer assistance to those around you or volunteer your time to a community group.

By helping others, you will feel better about yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t get caught up in someone else’s relationship woes. If you take sides, you will end up losing two friends instead of one. Concentrate on self-awareness and self-improvement.

Five Finger Death Punch is out on the road touring with Nothing More, Hellyeah and Volbeat with a scheduled concert at 6:10 p.m.

Tuesday at the Lone Star Amphitheater.

Five Finger Death Punch releasing two full albums this year By eric woods for A-J Media

Last year when it came time to decide a cutoff point as far as what songs would go on the album and what songs would be shelved, mega metal machine Five Finger Death Punch didn’t know where to stop.

“We had a ton of songs because we really started writing early in the process and had a wealth of material going into the studio,” FFDP bassist Chris Kael said. “The creative juices were already flowing, so when we got into the studio, we just kept writing. We got to a point where we were asking ourselves which songs we should cut out of the album and we pretty much all agreed we didn’t want to lose any of them. We didn’t want to lose

any of them because we were extremely happy with the way things were turning out.”

So then what?

Kael said members of the band went to their music label, Prospect Park, with the idea of doing a double album, but the label wasn’t interested. That’s when the band challenged the label to cull out some of the songs. Each song was such quality, nobody was willing to take an ax to any of them. One suggestion was to cut a double album, but all involved finally decided to record two volumes of “The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell” with both being released last year.

The reason it was decided to cut the albums into two volumes, Kael said, was because it makes it easier for FFDP fans to learn

On stage n Who: Five Finger Death Punch, Nothing More, Hellyeah and Volbeat. n When: 6:10 p.m. Tuesday. n Where: The Amphitheater at the Lone Star Events Center, 602 E. 19th St. n Tickets: General admission $39.75 plus fee. n Information: https://dinproductions. frontgatetickets.com or 512.389.0315.

the songs note for note and to enjoy them individually. A double album released at the same time would be too much and not as enjoyable.

“The fans really have an opportunity to digest each track and really learn every aspect of every song like when I was growing up,” said Kael. “Two full albums at one time is a lot, so we broke it up for the listening experience.”

The band is currently out on the road touring with Nothing

More, Hellyeah and Volbeat with a scheduled concert at 6:10 p.m.

Tuesday at the Lone Star Amphitheater. As for the tour, Kael said it’s like no other for the band.

This is the biggest so far.

“This is really the first time that Five Finger Death Punch has done a full headlining tour,” he said. “This tour has been huge with us, Volbeat, Hellyeah and Nothing More. Just the scope of it all. We’re out for six weeks right now finishing up in Colorado and rolling through Lubbock in just a little bit. It’s just been an absolute whirlwind. The fans sing along with every single word and it’s been some of the loudest places we’ve ever played.

With the amount of people we have and the intensity, it’s been incredible every single day out here.”

And that’s the kind of concert Kael said to expect locally. As with the most recent FFDP albums, the live performance is a musical journey and each one is better than the next. That and there’s something for every FFDP fan.

“If you’ve seen Five Finger Death Punch, you know that every time we come around we try to one up ourselves,” said Kael. “There’s no difference with this one. We brought out huge lights and really put together an incredible set list that will reach every fan we’ve got. If you like the heavy stuff, we’ve got that. If you are a fan of the slower stuff, we’ve got that as well. Just like we do on the album, we try to take you on a journey with us and it will be one hell of a journey for Lubbock.”

There are a few things former Gourds frontman Kevin “Shinyribs” Russell learned from playing in Lubbock.

And what might those lessons be?

“Never underestimate the Red Raiders and always get a deposit,” Russell said and laughed.

Shinyribs is scheduled to perform at 9 p.m. Friday at the Blue Light.

Russell said it was a fall day somewhere before Y2K and the Gourds (now disbanded) were playing a Lubbock date with country singer/songwriter Jack Ingram. Where? That doesn’t get mentioned in this story.

Texas Tech was to play a home game against the University of Texas that day and both Russell and the other Gourds were fairly confident that the victory would go their way with the University of Texas taking home a win.

The guys were playing football in a parking lot and wondering how much they would tease the Tech kids about the win.

It didn’t turn out that way.

“Tech just beat our asses and nobody came to the show,” Russell said and laughed. “There were a bunch of parties going on and the promoter kind of skipped out while we were playing.”

After the concert Ingram was relieved that he at least got a deposit before the gig. The Gourds, on the other hand, did not.

“We learned to always get a deposit,” said Russell.

And the promoter? That will remain a mystery.

for A-J Media

 provided by shinyribs

Shinyribs is scheduled to perform at 9 p.m. Friday at the Blue Light.

But, these days Russell isn’t holding a grudge and he isn’t playing with the Gourds. He’s now out on his own with his latest project, the Austin-based Shinyribs. The band has two albums since coming together in 2008. “Well After Awhile” is the first, which came out in 2010 and then “Gulf Coast Museum,” which dropped in 2013.

And the story of how Shinyribs came to be is just as interesting as the name of the band. Russell at the time was a Gourd, but he was looking for another musical outlet to not only perform his own brand of music, but also looking for a way to make extra money for a car payment. Russell made contact with a friend who owns a Houston venue

On stage n Who: Shinyribs n When: 9 p.m. Friday. n Where: The Blue Light Live, 1806 Buddy Holly Ave., in the Depot Entertainment District. n Tickets: $8 n Information: 762-1185 or www. thebluelightlive.com.

called Under the Volcano. The owner said he would give him a standing Wednesday gig.

Not only did Russell like his new ride, he also liked the freedom of doing his own music. A few years later, the Gourds decided they would call it quits and went on an indefinite hiatus.

And now he’s readying for another release tentatively called “Okra Candy,” which should be out and ready for a spin sometime in 2015, said

Russell.

Is there such a thing as okra candy? Russell said he did find a recipe for okra candy online at one point.

“It looked pretty nasty,” he joked.

The idea behind the name “Okra Candy” is pretty much the same as what’s behind the name of the band. It’s taking two words and smashing them together for something that sounds cool. Russell said he got the idea for the name of the upcoming record when he went to the grocery store and started looking for a snack. There he found a large bag of dehydrated okra. He thought the bag had “Okra Candy” written on it, but when he went back to the store he couldn’t find another bag

with the name on it.

“I went back to grocery store to look and it didn’t say it next time,” said Russell. “I think one of the employees had written it on there. I know they don’t call it that anymore.

I don’t know, I love that kind of wordplay and it just appealed to me.”

Russell said they are slowly working in songs from the new album into the set list and basically road testing the new tunes.

Some of those songs will be making their way into the Blue Light’s performance.

“We will be doing a couple of them at the show,” Russell said. “We’re starting to slowly work them in so that when the record does come out, we’ll know how to play them live.”

By eric woods for A-J Media

First known as an Austin alt-rock band called Aimless Gun, the Texas country sensation the Cody Bryan Band is about to pull the trigger on a new album and single.

Soon to be released is the band’s latest single “Corpus Christi Heartbreaker.”

The Cody Bryan Band is scheduled to perform at 9 p.m. Friday at the Office Grill and Sports Bar as the opening act for Reckless Kelly.

Band frontman and namesake Cody Bryan said this single is in a little different direction in that it is rootsy and a little less polished than some of the tunes recorded on the band’s debut album “Wreck Me.” “With ‘Corpus Christi Heartbreaker,’ I like that it’s organic and not as produced,” said Bryan. “It’s got that broken down, raw feeling to it.”

When the Cody Bryan Band lit out onto the Texas country music scene with “Wreck Me,” the tunes were fresh and not as rehearsed.

Bryan said they are now road testing songs and really focusing on the band’s vibe and sound.

The band recently just finished recording three songs in Austin with longtime friend and producer Matt Noveskey who is also the bassist for the Houston alt-rock band Blue October. The first single will be “Corpus Christi Heartbreaker,” and two more singles will be sent to radio over the next five months.

While doing so, Bryan said the band will be working toward a new album.

■ Who: The Cody Bryan Band opening for Reckless Kelly ■ When: 9 p.m. Friday.

■ Where: The Office Grill and Sports Bar, 5004 Frankford Ave., Suite 900.

■ Tickets: TBA ■ Information: 687-6242 or http://www.theofficegrillandsportsbar.com

The Cody Bryan Band will perform at 9 p.m. Friday at the Office Grill and Sports Bar as the opening act for Reckless Kelly.

“With ‘Wreck Me,’ it was a fresh thing,” he said.

“With these songs, we’ve been on the road busting our butts and playing these songs live. I think we’ve kind of changed our style and we’ve fallen into more of who we really are after being on the road for a solid year now.

“We are really pumped about the songs,” he added. “We have three new tracks and we are sending these out over the next five months. We are going to start recording a new record early next year and these songs will be put toward that album.”

The Cody Bryan Band actually began playing gigs around Austin as Aimless Gun when Bryan was studying civil engineering at the University of Texas.

Even though Bryan was pursuing a degree, what he really wanted to do was become a full-time musician.

The band hit a lucky streak after Noveskey noticed them and ap-

proached the guys about producing an album for them. As a member of the rock band, Bryan enjoyed the work and music, but was writing songs with more country lyrics and guitar riffs. The killer country feel mixed well with what the guys were doing, but after a while, all decided to change the name and the sound that fit more into the Texas country music scene.

“If you listen to the music from Aimless Gun, it always kind of had a country backbone to it as far as the lyrics and the guitar,” said Bryan.

Shortly after becoming the Cody Bryan Band, the guys began a steady Wednesday night gig at a local Austin club called Saxon Pub opening for Texas favorite Walt Wilkins.

“We’ve all been playing in Austin cutting our teeth for about six or seven years now,” he said.

“I went to UT and when I was going there, we played

the Sixth Street area on

the weekends getting our

chops up.”

As for the new album, Bryan isn’t sure what it will be called, or even what direction it will take.

Everything is up in the air and full of potential. What he does expect, however, is that Noveskey will once again be at the soundboard for the project.

“Who knows what the next eight or 10 songs will be,” he said.

Bear Hands on tour to promote new album, ‘Distractions’

By Heather Daniel a-j meDia

Dylan Rau is the magnetic and sometimes shy frontman for the New York-based band, Bear Hands.

Bear Hands is currently touring their second fulllength album, “Distractions,” and will perform at 9 p.m. Sunday at Backstage Lubbock.

We caught up with Rau to talk about life, the tour and the new album.

A-J: Have you been to Texas before?

Rau: Yeah, many times.

The band is eight years old so we have played essentially every city in America a couple of times at this point.

A-J: How long have you been touring for this album?

Rau: The album came out in February and we pretty much went on tour right way and have been touring the whole year basically. We were home maybe a week here and there and we were also in Europe for a month and that was really fun, too.

A-J: How has the tour been going?

Rau: Uh, it’s been great, it seems lots of new people know the new record, we heard Agora on the radio and more kids are coming out so what more could you ask for I guess.

A-J: How did Bear Hands become a band?

Rau: Uh, well I kind of always wrote songs since I was 15 maybe even 14. I had a really terrible pop-punk band starting in the eighthgrade I think. It’s always been a goal of mine to start a band, even in college I was writing songs. Senior year I hit up Ted about writing songs and I knew the rest of the band from the punk band days. We were

 provided by bear hands

Bear Hands is scheduled to perform at 9 p.m. Sunday at Backstage Lubbock. living in New York at the time so it was kind of the right place, right time kind of thing.

A-J: You guys are from New York, has this influenced your sound?

Rau: Mmm, yes…and no…

New York is so massive and so all over the place, there is so many bands that there really isn’t a New York sound but we certainly have lots of friends who have been in bands and have been really successful, so that drives you to keep working and have that friendly competitive edge to monitor each other’s progress.

A-J: Is MGMT a fair comparison?

Rau: Uh, I don’t think we sound like them very much, we went to the same college so uh, there is definitely been a lot of times that we have been linked to them in the press but I don’t think we sound a lot a like. They are really psychy (psychedelic) and we are kind of more punk.

A-J: What inspired you to write “Distraction”?

Rau: You know, nothing, I don’t know, like I said before, writing songs is just a pattern for me. I will prob-

ably do it forever, I think.

The songs just got collected over the time that we were touring our first record and coming home. So, yeah, each song has a different story.

A-J: Is that why it’s named “distraction”?

Rau: It took us a long time to finally come together, um, Ted wrote a couple, I wrote a bunch, we collaborated on a lot of stuff and we also, self-produced it. Ted is sort of the producer-director and it took us a long time to get all the pieces in place to do it and it certainly is in part due to distraction... from when we were living in New York or hanging out too much when we should be working or having to make money in non-musical avenues.

A-J: Where did the name Bear Hands come from?

Rau: Wheel of Fortune. It was the answer on Wheel of Fortune ... it was one of those puns. It took the contestants a really long time to get it ... contestants went bankrupt several times before they were able to get it.

A-J: Is the song “Agora” a personal perspective of Agoraphobia?

Rau: Yeah, it is. It’s not as in I think I could be diag-

nosed with Agoraphobia but I think I have Agoraphobic tendencies and I have other people in my life who were similar and so yes, it came straight out of real life for

me. It’s definitely one of the more topical songs on the record.

A-J: Is it hard to perform with agoraphobic tendencies?

Rau: It can be. I definitely do a lot of closing my eyes and my comfort level can sometimes depend on how much alcohol I have consumed before the shows.

I have done a lot of shows, a lot, a lot, a lot of show.

A-J: Does it get easier each time you perform?

Rau: Yeah. Also, things are going well, people seem to like the music so when you have that kind of support it makes it less difficult or it makes me less anxious about how it’s going.

A-J: What is “Bone Digger” about?

Rau: I wrote the lyrics based off of Paul Simon’s song, frustration or I can’t remember the name of the song actually...(he sings) bone digger, bone digger...I actually imagined an alternative career as a grave digger, I mean grave robber! People are buried with jewelry, sometimes expensive jewelry, I guess I don’t have a lot of faith in the sanctity of preserving human remains.

A-J: If you could resurrect one artist, band or group to come back and make one more album, would it be and why?

Rau: It’s gotta be Kurt Cobain or Notorious B.I.G. Either one of those I would sure love to hear a record from one of those.

Set in the future, when water is hard to find, a teenage boy sets out to protect his family and survive.

Rated R for some violence and language — At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

Movies

Continuing this Week 20,000 Days on Earth

Writer and musician Nick Cave marks his 20,000th day on the planet Earth.

This is a concert film and is not yet rated — At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

Addicted

A gallerist risks her family and flourishing career when she enters into an affair with a talented painter and slowly loses control of her life.

Rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, language and brief drug use — At Premiere Cinemas and Tinseltown 17.

Alexander and The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Alexander’s day begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by more calamities. Though he finds little sympathy from his family and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him, his mom, dad, brother, and sister all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Rated PG for rude humor including some reckless behavior and language — At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Premiere Cinemas, Tinseltown 17 and Stars and Stripes. Drive-In.

Annabelle

A couple begin to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists.

Rated R for intense sequences of disturbing violence and terror — At Alamo Drafthouse

Cinema, Tinseltown 17, Movies 16 and Stars and Stripes Drive-In.

The Boxtrolls (2-D and 3-D)

Kerns rating: Three and onehalf stars.

You can ignore the symbolism if you like, with grown men willing to bend the truth and scare the kiddies if it means one can give up his red hat (lower status) and be given a tall white hat, and spend the good part of the day in the tasting room with assorted cheeses. Indeed, the citizens of Cheeesebridge have been convinced that the Boxtrolls come out at night only to seek human children as snacks.

The truth must somehow be communicated by an orphaned boy by the name of Egg, raised by trolls and convinced for the longest time that he is one. But will anyone listen?

Rated PG for action, some peril and mild rude humor — At Premiere Cinemas and Tinseltown 17.

Dolphin Tale 2

The team of people who saved Winter’s life reassemble in the wake of her surrogate mother’s passing in order to find her a companion so she can remain at the Clearwater Marine Hospital.

Rated PG for some mild thematic elements — At Movies 16.

Dracula Untold

Kerns rating: Three stars.

No, it’s not particularly challenging and the dialogue can be as wooden as the stakes of old, but give the film credit for being visually commanding. Luke Evans is just fine as Vlad, who makes a deal with the supernatural to keep his family safe, but you will leave remembering the sky turning dark with bats somehow becoming a massive weapon.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of warfare, vampire attacks, disturbing images, and some sensuality — At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Premiere Cinemas (Including IMAX), Tinseltown 17 and Stars and Stripes Drive-In.

The Equalizer

Kerns rating: Three and onehalf stars.

Denzel Washington re-teams with his “Training Day” director Antoine Fuqua. This time he’s a former black-ops commando who faked his own death, and is dedicated to a new, quiet, peaceful life. But when a young girl is controlled and beaten by Russian gangsters, well, who are you going to bet on: The Russia mob with every automatic weapon, or Denzel choosing items from the hardware store where he works?

Right. Seriously, if Washington ever is of a mind to coast, he has created a character whose shoes he can slip back into easily time and again. The mere concept was not that original when it was a 1970s television show, but Washington delivers the goods and makes this entertaining. Very violent, but entertaining.

Rated R for strong bloody violence and language throughout, including some sexual references — At Premiere Cinemas including (DBOX), Tinseltown 17 and Stars and Stripes Drive-In.

The Giver

Kerns rating: One and onehalf stars.

Lois Lowry’s novel was optioned by Jeff Bridges in the mid’90s, hoping his father would play the title role. The sci-fi tale now finds the younger Bridges cast as a Giver of knowledge in the future. The film introduces us to a seemingly perfect community, which has done away with war, suffering and every possible cause of both, including differences, individuality, pain, pleasure and freedom of choice.

Meryl Streep, in a bad wig, plays the Chief Elder, a villain making sure that Bridges’ Giver will not share too much information too quickly with Jonas, the newly chosen Receiver, played by Benton Thwaites.

Naturally, Jonas concludes that such things as beauty and love never should have been banned.

Pop star Taylor Swift is virtually unrecognizable as the pre-Jonas Receiver who also did not work out. The film winds up being as heavy handed and boring as it is predictable — if only because, once the Receiver is introduced to “books,” he discovers far too much to want to keep to himself.

 associated press

This image released by 20th Century Fox shows, from left, Ben Affleck, Patrick Fugit, David Clennon, Lisa Barnes and Kim Dickens in a scene from “Gone Girl.”

Rated PG-13 for a mature thematic image and some sci-fi action/violence — At Movies 16.

Gone Girl

Kerns rating: Four and onehalf stars.

I am not sure how the bestselling novel got past me, but this is the kind of story that cried out for a director such as David Fincher and, happily, he was willing to take every risk along the way. It helps that he cast the movie to perfection, with Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike as a married couple from hell, and Neil Patrick Harris willing to offer protection. And those are just the actors in starring roles. Mind you, this truly creepy story probably won’t make any nervous types rush into marriage. Let me also add that I usually despise overlapping narration in movies, and yet this is a tale that cannot work without it. The plot? Oh, Affleck and Pike were happily married for years. Then something happened. And when Affleck calls the cops and informs them that he cannot find his wife on

their fifth wedding anniversary, the rest of the movie becomes a series of cinematic hills and sharp turns, allowing one time to guess whether Affleck killed his wife and later opportunities to change your mind — well, if you want to. In the meantime, one cannot overlook parents capitalizing on a possible murder, and the telling punches Fincher also delivers to the news media covering the story. I had a lot of fun not figuring this one out.

Rated R for a scene of bloody violence, some strong sexual content/nudity and language — At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Kerns rating: Four stars.

Oh what the heck, shell out the extra $3 and see it in 3-D. After watching the trailer for six months, I expected this movie to be awful. Instead, it is “Marvel”ous fun, adapting a Marvel comic I’d never read into one of the most fun sci-fi adventures you

are likely to come across. And I might add that I’d recommend this for practically all ages.

(Example: I know my dad would have had a blast, and left smiling.) Grouped together only after being arrested, the guardians — and a sequel is guaranteed — includes new star Chris Pratt as tief Peter Quill (also known to himself as Star Lord), Zoe Saldana as assassin Ganora, Bradley Cooper providing the voice of animal escape artist Rocket, Vin Diesel hidden inside a walking tree (“I am Groot”), and Dave Bautista as the mistakemaking Drax the destroyer. Odds are you will want to see it more than once.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language — At Premiere Cinemas.

If I Stay

Life changes in an instant for young Mia Hall (Chloe Grace Moretz) after a car accident puts her in a coma. During an outof-body experience, she must decide whether to wake up and live a life far different than she

had imagined.

Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some sexual material — At Movies 16.

Into the Storm

Kerns rating: Two stars.

Scripted by John Swetnam and directed by Steven Quale, what this movie lacks in believability, it makes up in action as multiple tornadoes eventually attack Oklahoma. The characters are two-dimensional, but the visual effects are, at times, exciting, even if there are no “flying cows,” a la “Twister.”

Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense destruction and peril, and language including some sexual references — At Movies 16.

The Judge

Big city lawyer Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) returns to his childhood home where his father, the town’s judge, is suspected of murder. Hank sets out to discover the truth and, along the way, reconnects with his estranged family.

Rated R for language including some sexual references — At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Premiere Cinemas and Tinseltown 17.

Left Behind

Kerns rating: Two stars.

Yes, telling the tale with Nicolas Cage is better than the Kirk Cameron, straight-to-video quickies.

But the only way this movie really could work is with a guarantee of enough follow-up films to tell the complete story. Too many peiople already read the series of books a long time ago, and then Cameron stripped interest with his low budget, terribly directed and acted film adaptations. This new adaptation at least takes a more intriguing view of the rapture — but only until filmmakers actually stick a sappy song right into the movie. Sorry, that’s when I lost it and laughed out loud.

Cast includes Nicolas Cage, Lea Thompson and Chad Michael Murray.

Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements, violence/peril and brief drug content — At Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014 LUBBOCK AVALANCHE-JOURNAL

Let’s Be Cops

Two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party and become neighborhood sensations. But when these newly-minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.

Rated R for language including sexual references, some graphic nudity, violence and drug use — At Movies 16 and the Stars and Stripes Drive-In.

The Maze Runner

Kerns rating: Two and onehalf stars.

Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien) is deposited in a male-dominated community after his memory apparently has been erased; he learns he is trapped in a maze, and soon joins forces with fellow “runners” for a shot at escape.

Director Wes Ball strives for “Hunger Games” excitement and does not hide his need for audiences to come back for more.

Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, including some disturbing images — At Premiere Cinemas, Tinseltown 17 and Stars and Stripes Drive-In.

Meet the Mormons Meet the Mormons examines the very diverse lives of six devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Filmed on location and across the

GO! movie marquee ies 16.

Kerns Rating The star ratings and review comments are by William Kerns, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal entertainment editor.

5 Stars Superior — Not to be missed. Beautifully crafted and award-worthy.

4 Stars Excellent — Always a good bet. Extremely enjoyable and worth seeing.

3 Stars Good — Above average fare. Entertaining, but not flawless.

2 Stars Fair — Only a few good moments in a primarily disappointing effort.

1 Star Terrible — Lowest rating. Awful. See at your own risk.

globe, Meet the Mormons takes viewers on a journey into the day-to-day realities of individuals living in the U.S., Costa Rica, Nepal and beyond. From their individual passions to their daily struggles, each story paints a picture as rich and unique as the next while challenging the stereotypes that surround the Mormon faith.

Rated PG for some thematic elements — At Movies 16.

No Good Deed

Terri (Taraji P. Henson) is a devoted wife and mother of two, living an ideal suburban life in Atlanta when Colin (Idris Elba), a charming but dangerous escaped convict, shows up at her door claiming car trouble. Terri offers her phone to help him but soon learns that no good deed goes unpunished as she finds herself fighting for survival

when he invades her home and terrorizes her family.

Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, menace, terror, and for language — At Mov-

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (3-D and 2-D)

Kerns rating: One star.

Trivia: Did you know that a One Star rating is the lowest rating I can give? If I could give fractions or negative ratings, this would be a good place to start. We see absolutely no good reason to brng back the pizza-loving, bragging turtles, even if Shredder and his Foot Clan are trying to take over the city.

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence — At Movies 16.

This is Where I Leave You

When their father passes away, four grown siblings are forced to return to their

go.lubbockonline.com childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Cast includes Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Connie Britton and Adam Driver.

Rated R for language, sexual content and some drug use — At Premiere Cinemas.

A Walk Among the Tombstones

Kerns rating: Four stars.

An ansolutely terrific thriller, with a bit of film noir tossed in as Liam Neeson shones as a former New York City cop who thinks he’s seen it all as private investigator Mathew Scudder. He’s wrong, and allows himself to work with a drug dealer to solve the murder of his wife. Again, Neeson

has created a character he can slip into again in the future, and not too soon for many of us.

Rated R for strong violence, disturbing images, language and brief nudity — At Premiere Cinemas.

When the Game Stands Tall

The journey of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur, who took the De La Salle High School Spartans from obscurity to a 151-game winning streak that shattered all records for any American sport.

Rated PG for thematic material, a scene of violence, and brief smoking — At Premiere Cinemas.
