Middle schoolers build boats for Tech’s STEM Challenge

By MARYBETH HOLM Staff Writer

The Pete Ragus Aquatic Center was filled with the smell of anticipation, competition, and chlorine as 40 middle school students went over last minute strategies with their teachers and mentors.

Lubbock Independent School District and Texas Tech University’s STEM Core Center for Out-reach and Education collaborated to provide a science, technology, engineering and math challenge for middle school students.

The teachers from participating middle schools choose four students ranging from sixth to eighth grade based on their ability and passion in the STEM field.

The teams consisted of two boys and two girls, with the exception of Talkington School for Young Women Leaders.

Michael Sizemore, the K-12 Science Coordinator for LISD, has been working with Tech since the first STEM Challenge in 2013. He said the idea started when Jerry Dwyer, the director of STEM Core Center for Outreach and Education, approached him about starting a STEM camp.

“We brainstormed ideas for the camps and came up with the STEM Challenge, where the students would build and engineer something by the end of the week,” Sizemore said. “We have the kids for a whole week and ask them to build the product and race them by

the end of the week.”

In years past, Sizemore said students have built Rubes-Goldberg machines and leaf blower hovercrafts. This year’s competition had students build boats that could float in the pool with only card-board and duct tape.

“What we try to do during the week is have mini-challenges that expose (the students) to the scientific concepts behind whatever they’re working on,” Sizemore said.

“This year we use activities that involve buoyancy and try to build the kid’s conceptual understanding of that scientific concept through their experience.”

Jessica Spott is the senior project administrator for STEM Core and has been part of the camp since 2013. She said the four students are teamed up with one of their teachers and a Tech student who acts as their mentor for the week.

Spott is in charge of choosing the 10 Tech students that serve as mentors for the week. She said the undergraduate students work with the middle schoolers and help them design their projects.

“They do a really good job encouraging the students and telling them about their major, how they got where they got, and help them think about things a different way,” Spott said. “A lot of these students have never met a college student and they’re the cool kids (the middle schoolers) really like to talk to.”

Tech earns spot in QS World University rankings this year

Little named First Team Freshman All-American

Texas Tech proved to be one of the top universities in the world after earning a spot on the latest QS World University Rankings.

Tech ranked in the 701-750 category on the rankings, according to the QS World University Rankings.

This is the first time Tech has appeared in the rankings, according to a Tech news release, and is one of only two universities U.S. public universities to debut in this year’s rankings.

“This is a recognition that reflects the growing reputation and global perception of Texas Tech,” said Tech President Lawrence Schovanec said. “This speaks to the work of our faculty, students and staff and shows the global recognition of our research and scholarship efforts by our peers.”

The ranking is determined by academic and employer reputation, faculty-to-student ration, citations per faculty, international faculty ratio and international student ratio, according to the release.

This year, of 26,000 institu-

tions worldwide, 4,000 qualified for evaluation and only 980 made the rankings, according to the release.

Last year, Tech Schovanec received a spot a in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education’s “Highest Research Activity” category, according to the release. This puts Tech as one of the top 115 research universities in the country.

“The Carnegie designation last year was a significant achievement for our university,” Schovanec said. “Achievements such as this are having a positive effect on our reputation and lend to further recognitions, like our inclusion in the QS rankings. I am excited at the trajectory of our university.”

In the QS World University Rankings, Tech is one of the top 75 public research universities in the country. @DailyToreador

After competing in his first season for Texas Tech, freshman Red Raider Grant Little has been named a First Team Freshman All-American honoree from the National College Baseball Writers Association.

This is the first All-American accolade for Little and the eighth freshman to receive the award under Tech coach Tim Tadlock, according to a Tech Athletics news release. In his first year as a Red Raider, Little appeared in 53 games and started in the outfield 49 times during the season. During his time at the plate this year, he acquired a .355 batting average, registered 69 hits, 17 doubles, three triples and two home runs.

He ended the year by leading the team with 24 multi-hit performances, according to the release.

Little had a three-hit showing against New Mexico State on April 4 followed by a four-hit performance against Kansas on May 18.

After recording 34 RBIs this season, Little is one of four Red Raider to produce five or more RBIs in a single game, according to the release. Little did so in the contest against TCU on April 30 where he tallied three hits, five RBIs, three

Neighborhood Connection reestablished in community

By PAYTON ROBB Staff Writer

The Lubbock Network Connection first started in 1994, but faded away throughout the years. Community members are reestablishing the organization to help serve the city of Lubbock.

The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribboncutting ceremony on June 7 at Stumpy Hamilton Park to celebrate the recreation of the Lubbock Neighborhood Connection organization.

The nonprofit organization is a 100 percent volunteer board comprised of Lubbock citizens. The vice president of LNC, Jake Webb, said LNC was created to take care of neighborhoods in the Lubbock community.

“The mission of LNC is to help the wellbeing of neighborhoods in north, south, east, west, and central Lubbock,” Webb said. “Our three main goals are to take care of what we have, to make our

neighborhoods beautiful, and to keep Lubbock safe.”

Anyone can join the 1994 Club or give a one-time donation on the LNC website. This money goes to the different efforts of LNC to improve all Lubbock neighborhoods, including project the group has already started, Webb said.

“We have already started several projects this year including the First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Programs and the Home Improvement Assistance Programs,” Webb said. “We have also teamed up with the Lubbock Police Department to start a neighborhood watch program. We already have 11 potential groups in eight different neighborhoods.”

In addition to the police department, LNC has partnered up with other local organizations including the local Boy Scouts of America council.

The partnership with the Boy Scouts of America is meant to help first responders local homes quickly. Accord-

ing to the LNC website the Boy Scouts, along with other volunteers, will go around different neighborhoods and repaint the house number on the side of the curb.

“This project will help make it easier for the first responders to find the proper address,” Webb said. “This would save a few extra minutes which could save a few extra lives.”

The Boy Scouts have mapped out neighborhoods for this service project, however, if anyone wants to be added to the list, they can email LNC through their website. Citizens can also send an email to LNC with any ideas or proposals for projects for their neighborhoods.

“We encourage people to send us an email with the times of their community meetings, and we will try to have at least one board member at each one,” Webb said. “This is how we understand what the residents need. People can always

Museum membership campaign underway Start program that promotes early education with children ages 2 to 5, according to the museum website.

This is a free program and registration opens in July.

Jump Start will be once a week from Aug. 8 to Dec. 12.

Registration is required and it is encouraged to register early due to the popularity of the program.

Open Studio, an art workshop, is open to all community members and will take place on July 15, according to the website. The workshop will focus on water coloring and is free of charge with all supplies provided. There will be another Open Studio event on Sept. 9.

The Museum of Texas Tech University is an accredited museum that is dedicated to educating the community through its exhibits and programs as well as supporting the academic research done at Tech, according to the website. The museum will be open all summer Tuesday through Sunday. @DailyToreador

Defense: Teen who sent texts urging suicide ‘very troubled’ WASHINGTON (AP) — The attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia filed a federal lawsuit Monday against President Donald Trump, alleging he violated the Constitution by retaining ties to his sprawling global business empire and by accepting foreign payments while in office.

Maryland Attorney Gener-

al Brian Frosh joined District counterpart Karl Racine at a news conference in announcing the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in neighboring Maryland. Much of the case is focused on allegations that Trump’s real estate and business holdings violate a littleknown emoluments clause of the Constitution. The provision bars the president and

other government employees from accepting foreign gifts and payments without congressional approval.

“The president’s conflicts of interest threaten our democracy,” Frosh said. “We cannot treat the president’s ongoing violations of the Constitution and his disregard of the rights of the American people as the new acceptable status quo.”

Trump’s unique status as both president and the financial beneficiary of his global business empire raised questions about the emoluments clause of the Constitution even before he took office.

Trump and his attorneys argue the clause does not cover fair-value transactions, such as hotel room payments and real estate sales.

COURTESY OF LUBBOCK NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTION

Members of the Lubbock Neighborhood Connection and Lubbock Chamber of Commerce cut the ribbon for the new Lubbock Neighborhood Connection on June 7 at Stumpy Hamilton Park. The organization helps serve local communities and take care of local neighborhoods.

TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — A young woman charged with sending her boyfriend text messages encouraging him to kill himself was a “very troubled youngster” who eventually went along with his plan to take his own life, a psychiatrist testified for the defense Monday.

Michelle Carter is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the 2014 suicide of 18-year-old Conrad Roy III. Prosecutors say the then-17year-old Carter pressured Roy to take his own life through a

torrent of text messages. They say she told Roy to “get back in” his truck when he became frightened while trying to kill himself with carbon monoxide.

Carter’s lawyer has argued that Roy had attempted suicide previously and made his own decision to take his life.

He has also said that she initially tried to talk him out of it.

Dr. Peter Breggin testified Monday that Carter was taking Celexa, an anti-depressant targeting the brain’s frontal lobe, which controls decisionmaking and empathy.

Breggin said Roy talked to Carter — a younger, emotionally troubled girl — about how he wanted to kill himself. He said Carter eventually endorsed Roy’s wishes.

Breggin said he reviewed all the text messages and Facebook conversations between Carter and Roy. He said that beginning in 2012, Roy told Carter he wanted to kill himself and said there was nothing she could do to stop him.

“He goes on and on for hours and hours, and pages and pages,” Breggin said of

Roy’s communications with Carter about killing himself at a time when Breggin says Carter is “a little girl” overwhelmed by her boyfriend’s unceasing focus on suicide.

Carter, now 20, has pleaded not guilty.

Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz is presiding at the trial. Carter waived her right to a jury trial.

On Friday, Moniz rejected a defense request that he find Carter not guilty after prosecutors finished presenting their evidence.

Earthquake kills woman, guts houses on Greek island of Lesbos ATHENS, Greece (AP) — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 badly damaged scores of homes on the eastern Greek island of Lesbos Monday, killing one woman and injuring at least 10 people. It was also felt in western Turkey, including in Istanbul, and on neighboring islands.

Lesbos mayor Spyros Galinos and the fire service said the woman was found dead in the southern village of Vrisa that was worst-hit by the quake, which had its epicenter under the sea.

“Most houses in Vrisa

have suffered severe damage,” Galinos said, adding that afflicted residents were being relocated to temporary housing set up in a football field in a nearby village.

At least 10 people were injured in the village, many of whose roads were blocked by rubble.

Local authorities and the fire service said there were no reports of other people trapped or missing.

Earlier, rescuers pulled out an elderly couple alive from their damaged home in Vrisa.

CASA kicks off summer with annual fundraiser

By CANDICE CLARK L a Vida Editor

CASA of the South Plains, a Lubbock organization that trains local volunteers in assisting with foster child cases, is hosting their annual fundraiser, Casas for CASA, at the Parade of Homes from June 10-25.

Participants can visit CASA in lot 124 on the corner of Avenue U and 102nd Street outside of Foxridge.

Raffle tickets are available to purchase for the chance to win a custom-built playhouse or doghouse.

Gabriel Ballesteros, communications and marketing director for CASA, said the fundraiser is crucial in bringing in more volunteers for the summer months, as there are more foster children than volunteers to advocate for them.

“CASA volunteers act as

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 When looking for mentors, Spott said she picks undergraduate students who are interested in education or research and picks people she feels will benefit from this experience.

“It’s really an exciting feeling to have them walk away thinking ‘You know I never really thought about it, but it’s definitely what I want to do’,”

guardian ad litems, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, for the foster children in court,” Ballesteros said.

“Volunteers are given one case, and they spend a lot of time with the foster child to ensure that their voice is heard in the courts.”

The funds raised through the Casas for CASA event will go directly toward training volunteers for this role, and the organization asks for an 18 to 24-month commitment, as that is how long a foster child case goes through the Lubbock courts.

Jaclyn Howard, executive director of CASA, said the organization was initially founded by a group of judges who noticed that while the foster child has an attorney in court, no one really knew their story.

“A lot of these cases start with CPS removing the child

or sibling group from the home due to abuse or neglect,” Howard said. “These kids enter a whirlwind where they are moved from foster home to shelter back to foster home, and there really isn’t anyone there to support them consistently.

Our focus at CASA is permanency. The child’s advocate does not change, it is the same person, and they go to every single court hearing to fight for the child’s voice to be heard in court.”

Ballesteros said the number of volunteers fluctuates between 210 and 267, with everyone from students to retired couples volunteering for the organization.

“You need a passion for kids and the desire to help the vulnerable in the community,” Ballesteros said.

“Advocates can take the kids on trips after 90 days,

eat lunch with them at school or do other activities.

It’s a pretty unique volunteer opportunity.”

The number one priority for the CASA volunteer is to be consistent in the child’s life, and to set aside the time necessary to do so. According to CASA website, the applicant must go through 30 hours of training, two background checks and get an Oath of Confidentiality from a judge.

Once accepted, the volunteer will work one case for as long as it lasts, advocating for one foster child or a foster sibling group.

Howard herself became a volunteer after meeting the CASA advocate for her foster children, and said that while more volunteers are needed, there is a greater need for more foster homes in the greater Lubbock area.

Spott said. “The Tech students have a drastic impact that they get out of the week and at the end of the day on Monday, they were just like ‘It was awesome. It was great to learn and get to know these kids’.”

Abbi Trammel, a junior education major from Lubbock, said she really enjoyed working with the students and she wished she could have done something like the STEM Challenge when she was in middle school.

“It would have given me

the extra push to pursue math and science in college,” Trammel said. “If I was in middle school and did this, it would have changed my view on math and science because it was so much fun and the kids had so much fun.”

At the end of the challenge, O.L. Slaton Middle School and S. Wilson Middle School tied for second place with times of one minute and 11 seconds.

This year’s champion was Hutchinson Middle School and their boat, “The Black Coffin,”

which finished the race with a time of 59 seconds.

Justine Mora, a seventh grader from Hutchinson’s team, said she attributes “The Black Coffin’s” victory to its canoe shape and structure.

The competition makes her want to go to college, she said. “[The STEM Challenge] shows me that I can be an engineer if I want to be,” said Mora. “I just have to keep working on it through high school.”

Tickets cost $5 or 5 for $20

“What is really needed are more foster homes, not for adoption necessarily but a place for the kids to stay that isn’t a shelter,” Howard said. “There are many kids in the area who are removed by CPS and have nowhere to go, so they stay at the CPS office until their case is seen by the judge. Just having a family take in a child for a year will make a huge difference.”

With the Casas for CASA fundraiser underway, Ballesteros said he hopes people will come out to see the play-

houses and doghouses built by them and Lubbock Fire and Rescue, as well as buy raffle tickets that will go towards supporting foster children in Lubbock.

“CASA has absolutely made an impact,” he said.

“Many of these cases would have ended differently without CASA volunteers in the foster care system. We are there for them when they need us, and we strive to represent their best interests as advocates and volunteers.” @DailyToreador

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Newtown families upset by interview with conspiracy theorist HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The families of some Sandy Hook shooting victims are angered that NBC is airing an interview by Megyn Kelly with a conspiracy theorist who has claimed the massacre never happened.

Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter, Ana Grace, was among the 26 people killed in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, said Monday that she fears the NBC interview with “Infowars” host Alex Jones will encourage other conspiracy theorists who have harassed her and accused her of being part of a hoax.

“Any time you give someone like Alex Jones a platform, their followers will double-down or increase their attack on grieving families,”

Marquez-Greene said. “You can’t just put him in a box and say he’s just a character.

He’s really hurting people.”

The interview by Kelly, who formerly worked at Fox News, is scheduled to air Sunday, which is also Father’s Day. On Twitter, Kelly responded to criticism by noting that President Donald Trump, a Republican, has praised Jones’ show and by saying it was her job to “shine a light.”

An NBC representative had no immediate comment.

The interview comes in the wake of a guilty plea last week of a Florida woman who threatened a father of one Sandy Hook victim. Lucy Richards, who had cited the hoax theory in her threats, was sentenced to five months in prison.

A year ago, a New York

City man was sentenced to probation after approaching a sister of slain Sandy Hook teacher Victoria Soto during a charity road race and angrily claiming the shootings never took place.

Soto’s family says Matthew Mills was a follower of Jones.

The family members expressed their anger with NBC and Kelly in a Facebook post.

“Alex and his followers have done nothing but make our lives a living hell for the last 4 1/2 years,” they said. “This incessant need for ratings at the cost of the emotional well-being of our family is disgusting and disappointing. You should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing this behavior.”

The harassment of Marquez-Greene has included a woman asking her on social

media if she had actually sold her daughter to a child trafficking ring. Another man asked to see pictures of Ana Grace’s dead body as proof the shooting happened.

Marquez-Greene said Kelly should at least give Sandy Hook families equal time on her show and promote some of the charity work they’ve been doing to remember the lives of their loved ones. She said the media also need to learn to honor the families’ grief.

“There are two things people need to grieve in a healthy way, and that’s a sense of safety and a sense of control,” said MarquezGreene, who is a licensed family therapist. “Having this buffoon on her show really interferes with both of those.”

Red Raiders tally 7 All-American honors in final meet

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

To end the 2017 outdoor season, the Texas Tech men’s track and field team finished the NCAA Championships on Friday and tallied seven All-American honors to earn a No. 17 national ranking.

The No. 17 national ranking for the Red Raiders is within the top-5 highest notches held by the men’s squad since 2008, according to a Tech athletics news release. Tech coach Wes Kittley said he was impressed by the honors his team received in their final meet of the season.

“We got a lot of All-Americans today and that was great to see,” Kittley said in

the release.

One All-American Kittley referred to was junior Trey Culver who grabbed a second-place finish in the men’s high jump with a clearance of 2.21 m/7-3, according to the release. This marks the second straight year Culver has earned an All-American honor in the competition.

“I’m so proud of him, he is such a competitor. There is no one who competes better on our team. He tied for the win but had one more miss, and on his last attempt he just barely clipped the bar at the end,” Kittley said in the release. “Still so proud of him and all that he has done.

Would have loved for him to win, but another champion-

ship wasn’t in the cards for him today.”

The solid marks were not over with Culver, as the 4x400 relay team snagged the No. 2 all-time school record with a time of 3:02.28, according to the release. Kittley said this event was the most entertaining to witness and even though the team placed fifth, it was still a solid race by the Red Raiders.

“That relay was the most incredible thing. I wouldn’t have believed it if you would have told me beforehand that running 3:02 would get fifth. It was a truly great race,” Kittley said in the release. “They all really competed and everyone had the best splits they have

ever run. Just to see them come into the meet and run a second and a half faster than they have all year, in terrible conditions, and get No. 2 all-time was awesome.”

Senior Benard Keter also made moves for the Red Raiders by placing sixth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase where he marked a season-best time of 8:34.27.

Keter’s finish also ranks second in the Tech record book in the event.

“We were so hopeful after the first day for Benard since he saved his energy a bit, but he had a good day,” Kittley said in the release. “He would have had to have his greatest race to have won today.” @ABoutwellDT

Red Raider volleyball schedule announced

The Texas Tech volleyball team announced its 2017 schedule on Monday which includes opponents from several different conferences and 12 home matches.

Tech coach Tony Graystone said the upcoming season and challenges the team will face will pre-pare the Red Raiders for Big 12 action further in the schedule, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

“We’ve put together a really nice 2017 schedule,” Graystone said in the release.

“It’s going to give us an opportunity to get the team ready for the Big 12 and also play out of our region against teams we don’t normally see.

I feel good about the schedule we’ve set for this group, and we can’t wait to get started.”

The Red Raiders will begin the season with a tournament at Houston Baptist from Aug. 25-26, according to the release. Tech will then travel to California on Sept. 1-2 and will face Cal, Dartmouth and Eastern Washington. A road

match against Georgia on Sept. 13 will follow as will a tournament at Clemson from Sept. 15-16 where Tech will face Clemson, South Carolina and Georgia Southern.

“I’m especially excited about our trips to California, Georgia and South Carolina,” Graystone said in the release. “Those will be big weekends to travel and play other Power Five schools in their gyms. We’re going to have several new players on the floor this year, so it’s going to be important for us to come together quickly and learn how to compete and win during the nonconference schedule.”

The home slate will begin with Abilene Christian on Sept. 4 followed by the Red Raider Classic from Sept. 8-9, according to the release. The Red Raiders will begin Big 12 Conference play on Sept. 20 at Baylor and will host their first home conference match the next week. @ABoutwellDT
