Pampa, TX 79065 Family Care • Urgent Care (Insurance, Cash, and Medicare) Former loan officer ordered to pay more than $400,000 in restitution. STAFF REPORT AMARILLO — Erin Dawn Trev- athan, 26, of Amarillo, was sen- tenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson to three years in federal prison and ordered to pay $442,297 in restitution fol- lowing her guilty plea April 2013 to one count of fraud in connec- tion with federal credit union en- tries. She was remanded to custody. The announcement was made U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas. Trevathan will have to complete five years of supervised released, which is like probation, after she is released. The court recommended Treva- than be incarcerated close to Pampa. There is no parole in the federal prison system. According to documents filed in the case, Trevathan was employed by the Pampa Teachers Federal Credit Union as a loan officer from July 2008 until early December 2010, and during that time, she was the sole loan officer at the credit union. Her job consisted of process- ing personal loans and auto loans. During an audit, irregularities were noticed. When confronted, Trevathan admitted that she had been making false entries and steal- ing cash from the credit union’s main account for her personal use. As a result of her false entries, loan manipulations and unauthorized ac- tivity, the Pampa Teachers Federal Credit Union suffered a loss of ap- proximately $422,973. Irregularities were noticed during an audit and it was discovered that Trevathan was changing due dates on loans on credit union members’ accounts. She was also posting checks from customer accounts and then reversing the checks in the credit union’s system after they cleared.

Willard Kiper is retiring after as little more than 18 years as a chaplain at the Jordan and Baten state prison units near Pampa. His last official day is July 31. Prison chaplain retiring to become surgical technician for friend’s business in Lawton, Okla. BY TIMOTHY P. HOWSARE [email protected] In 1986, Willard Kiper bought a piece of wood carved in the shape of scroll at a garage sale. Kiper, an ordained Freewill Bap- tist minister, wanted to engrave something on the wooden scroll, but the wood was so hard it almost seemed like it was stone instead of something that came from a tree. “I didn’t know what to put on it,” he said. “So I carried it around for 12 years.” The answer came to him in 1998 while working at his current job as a chaplain at the Jordan Unit pris- on outside of Pampa: “Love God, Love Others.” An inmate engraved the words for him, and probably broke about six different routers while doing it, he said. Kiper said those are words he lives by and keeps the wooden scroll in his office at the prison. After 18 years as a prison chap- lain, Kiper’s last official day will be July 31. After several weeks of training, he will become a surgical techni- cian for a business owned by a family friend in Lawton, Okla. Leaving his chaplain job is a decision he’s struggled with for about a year. “The decision to leave has been the toughest in my life, but God has called me,” he said. Kiper said as the years have gone by at the prison, he has be- come more of an “administrator” than a “minister.” When he started 18 years ago, he was one of two full-time pastors along with a part-time pastor and a secretary. Now, he’s the only paid employ- ee in the prison ministry. He does, however, have a con- tingency of between 80 to 90 volunteers who make 200 to 300 visits a week. They do everything from leading services and Masses, to conducting Bible studies, or do- ing what he calls “building minis- try,” in which a man of faith will simply walk around in the dorms and talk to the inmates who don’t attend religious services. “They touch people who never come to chapel,” he said. Kiper said when he started his job 18 years ago, it was about 40 percent paper work and about 60 percent ministry. Now it’s more like 95 percent paperwork and 5 percent ministry. But he does still preach and lead services, he said, and on one Sun- day led about seven services when another pastor couldn’t make it to the prison. County Road E speed limit set to change BY LINDSEY TOMASCHIK [email protected] The Gray County Commissioner’s Court on Friday unanimously approved reducing the speed limit on a portion of County Road E from 55 mph to 35 mph. The section of the road where the speed limit will change begins where the pavement ends on Tyng Street and continues east to the first stop sign after it becomes a county road. Past that point, the speed limit is already 35 mph. The reason for the proposed change is there are two more railroad tracks that are going to be installed, and companies C.C. Transload, Fairmont Minerals and Sandtrol, are expecting an increase in trucking traffic on the road. The current daily average of semi trucks driv- ing on County Road E. is about 40, and after the installation of the tracks, this number is ex- pected to increase to more than 100 a day. The companies have agreed to pay for the necessary speed limit and warning signage on the road. Commissioner Gary Willoughby said it is not the truckers who have caused the commission- ers to consider a change in the speed limit, but the other traffic for people commuting to work at other companies in the area who abuse the current speed limit. Another item on the agenda was putting a se- curity fence around the Records Building. The commissioners decided to take no action on the item during Friday morrning’s meeting.

    Prison chaplain retiring to become surgical technician for friends business in Lawton, Okla.

    BY TIMOTHY P. [email protected]

    In 1986, Willard Kiper bought a piece of wood carved in the shape of scroll at a garage sale.

    Kiper, an ordained Freewill Bap-tist minister, wanted to engrave something on the wooden scroll, but the wood was so hard it almost seemed like it was stone instead of something that came from a tree.

    I didnt know what to put on it, he said. So I carried it around for 12 years.

    The answer came to him in 1998 while working at his current job as a chaplain at the Jordan Unit pris-on outside of Pampa: Love God, Love Others.

    An inmate engraved the words for him, and probably broke about six different routers while doing it, he said.

    Kiper said those are words he lives by and keeps the wooden scroll in his of ce at the prison.

    After 18 years as a prison chap-lain, Kipers last of cial day will be July 31.

    After several weeks of training, he will become a surgical techni-cian for a business owned by a family friend in Lawton, Okla.

    Leaving his chaplain job is a decision hes struggled with for about a year.

    The decision to leave has been the toughest in my life, but God has called me, he said.

    Winnifred Lanore Bennie FlowersWinnifred Lanore Bennie Flowers, 93, died Tuesday,

    June 11, 2013 in Amarillo.Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June

    18, 2013, at Miami United Method-ist Church, with Dr. Lewis Holland, retired Methodist minister, the Rev. Anthony Inman, minister of Mi-ami United Methodist Church, and Rev. Mindy McLanahan, minister of Muleshoe United Methodist Church, of ciating. Burial will be private. Arrangements are under the direc-tion of Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors of Pampa.

    Bennie was born Dec. 30, 1919 near Gray, Okla., to Merrill Thomas McLain Sr., and Ruby Lucille Gyger McLain. She grew up on a farm out-side Perryton. While attending Per-

    ryton schools, she met James Lawson Flowers. They were married April 1, 1936 in Liberal, Kan.

    In 1946, they moved to their newly acquired cattle ranch just outside Miami. As Bennie often told, they didnt care much for farming, so the move to ranching was quite welcome. She was also thankful for a few good crops to make the move possible.

    She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Miami, the Miami Chapter #98 Order of the Eastern Star, and the Coronado Community Hospital Auxiliary in Pampa. Bennie enjoyed painting, studying family history and caring for others. Family was always important to Bennie. She was preceded in death by James; their son, Eldon Lawson Flowers in 1982; her parents; two sisters, Lorene Louise Carter and Betty Ann Docherty; and one brother, Merrill Thomas McLain, Jr.

    Survivors include her daughter-in-law, Mary Lynn Flowers of Amarillo; granddaughter, Donna Kim Flowers of Amarillo; grandson, Mitchell Kirk Flowers and wife Dana Carole of Canadian; great-granddaughter, Autumn Lynn Flowers of Amarillo; great-grandson, Heath Eldon Flowers and wife Sarah Christine of New York City; sis-ter, Patsy Jean McLain of Houston; and three brothers, Larry Glen McLain of Perryton, Robert Gyger McLain of Amarillo, and Gail Lee McLain of The Woodlands.

    In lieu of owers, the family suggests memorials to the United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 248, Miami, Texas

    79059, or the Roberts County Museum, P.O. Box 306, Miami, Texas 79059.

    With his wife, Chris-tine, he plans to stay in-volved with the prison on weekends, starting up what he calls a hospital-ity ministry.

    The ministry would help families visiting from out of town nd things to do while visiting Pampa.

    Families who live more than a three hour drive from the unit can have four hours of visitation on a Saturday and then four on a Sunday.

    But if they stay the weekend, many have a lot of time with nothing to do between those two week-end visits, he said.

    What does a six-year-old do? he asked. Does

    a woman shopping for towels at Walmart say to another customer, Im in town for the weekend visiting my husband at the prison. Whats there to do around here?

    One of his ideas is to show videos at the prison to entertain them.

    Kiper said in his years at the prison lots of people have asked him, referring to the offenders, Why do you want to help those people?

    Kiper said it all comes back to the four words on his wooden scroll: Love God, Love Others.

    I know from per-sonal experience that the primary way to make a change in a persons heart is through a change in spirituality, he said. Spirituality is the way to change.

  • Pampa readers praise their fathers The Pampa News asked on Facebook for readers to write about their dads for Fathers Day. Here are their responses:

    The man I call my dad Editors note: This is

    a story Denise Taylors daughter, Kendra Myers, wrote to her father, Kevin Taylor, when he was ght-ing cancer. Kendra wrote this in 2006 and Keven died in 2008 at the age of 48.

    I remember the rst time I met the man I call my Dad. It wasnt that I dis-liked him, It was just that I was 16 years old and my little world seemed to be revolving the way I wanted it to and I had my mom and my sister. I really didnt think we needed a man, ev-erything was ne the way it was. I know the rst time I knew that we would get along great. He handed the keys to his brand new truck over to an excited 16 year old and told me to take it out for a while. I dont know if I was driving him crazy and he just wanted me to leave, but he earned some serious brownie points there!

    I cant remember the rst time I called him Dad. I am sure that it wasnt awkward or uneasy. It probably just owed out like he had al-ways been my Dad. He was

    there for me through my teenage years. All of the problems that seem so life altering and dramatic that Im sure every other teen goes through. He was there for me to cry on his shoul-der, and I have cried on his shoulder a time or two! He didnt always agree with me or the things I did. He didnt sugar coat things just to make me think life was always going to be great.

    He had to sit back and let me make mistakes. He never said I told you so or lost his temper. He was just always there for me.

    The man I call my Dad is a big, gentle, strong teddy bear. Only Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair came to mind as of lately. But he is get-ting his fur back now. Not only has he been a great Dad, but the rest of his family treats us like we are their own.

    The man I call my Dad doesnt have to be my Dad. He doesnt have to listen to my problems or do any-thing in his power to help me. He didnt have to be my friend or worry about me. But he does. I wish that

    my Dad had been my Dad a long time ago. I guess I should tell my Mom thanks too,because she is the one who picked the man I call my Dad.

    He loved her and her sis-ter like they were his bio-logical children, and that to me is the very de nition of a father.

    Thanks for letting me share this, it still makes my heart happy.

    I love you, dad!My dad, Scott Dicker-

    man, has been the one cer-tainty in my life. My daddy has always been my friend, my rst love, and my rock.

    I can see my dads face and any and every bit of love I have for him comes over owing. He is the kind

    of father I always wanted for my children and the kind of husband I wanted for myself. God blessed me with the PERFECT dad-dy, for me and I could not thank him enough.

    Today, Dad, I want to tell the world you are the Best and I LOVE YOU so very much! Through thick or thin my heart is always connected with yours!

    Happy Fathers Day!By daughter Leanna

    Special days with dadIts hard for us to pick out

    a single memory when our lives growing up were full of adventure.

    Our dad, Keith Feerer, is a Church of Christ min-ister and has preached

    from coast to coast. We began our adventures here in Pampa, where our dad would make us super dad-dy specials for breakfast, which was waf es with ice cream, peanut butter and syrup. He would take us ying in his airplane to Florida to visit family. Our childhood was so amazing. We lived in Florida where he would take us to do ev-erything the sunshine state had to offer. Not only was he fun and full of adven-ture, but he taught us the most important things in life are not things at all but our faith in Jesus Christ. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing father that is an incredible Grumpa to our daughters. Its true when they say amazing fathers are promoted to incredible grandfathers. We love you so very much!

    By daughter Jamie Rye with Mamie Jane Rye

    My favorite memory with my dad, Keith Feerer, was when we would go shrimp-ing together. We would leave early in the morning and be out on the water for hours. On the rst time we went out, he tried to teach me how to cast the net and how to be patient. We only caught ve or six shrimp that day, but I will never forget how exciting it was for him to help me pull up

    that net of the unknown. To be honest, that is one small moment of many wonder-ful memories with my fa-ther. Hell never know how much I remember and how much I appreciate every-thing he has done with and for me. We will always be grateful and always love him.

    By son Ryan Feerer with his wife, Cassie, and daughter, Rose.

    Also during the inves-tigation, one credit union member told the investi-gator that she had given

    Trevathan cash for her loan payment on a monthly ba-sis and later discovered that Trevathan did not always apply the payment to the loan.

    On certain loan approv-als, Trevathan forged the name of the manager of the credit union in order for the loan to appear as le-gitimate. When confronted, Trevathan admitted she had

    been making the false en-tries and admitted to steal-ing cash from the credit unions main account for her personal use.

    The case was investi-gated by the FBI, with as-sistance from the National Credit Union Administra-tion. Assistant U.S. Attor-ney Christy Drake was in charge of the prosecution.

    Jester wanted at Austrian hotelVIENNA (AP)

    Wanted: A jester. Wall- owers need not apply.

    Its no joke. An Austri-an hotel is advertising for a modern-day court fool, who is communicative, extroverted, musical, cre-ative and imaginative.

    Applicants are asked to bring and play their musical instrument during the job interview. Also welcome: creative costumes. Hotel direc-tor Melanie Franke says those interested should not think theyre on a fools errand in applying. She says the idea is to treat guests like royalty, noting that jesters were a luxury that royal fami-lies indulged themselves in.

    What Fathers Day means to meBY LINDSEY [email protected]

    Fathers Day is a day set aside to take time to appreciate the father

    gure in your life. Although I believe that people should express their appreci-ation for this man on a daily basis, I enjoy having this holiday devoted to my dad.

    Im fortunate enough to sometimes get to share this day with my father be-

    cause my birthday falls within the same week, and I view that as an honor.

    On past Fathers Days, I can re-member sitting around the house with my dad, Jerry Tomaschik, watching golf, taking shing trips or going out to dinner with him. Although my father is not one to demand attention, there is a certain glow in his eye on Fathers Day, and I know its because hes proud to be able to call himself a father.

    Growing up, my dad supported my sister and me in all of our deci-sions, and he did his best to mask his disappointment when he dis-

    agreed with our choices. He has always been so patient

    and supportive, and I cannot imag-ine having anyone else to push me through lifes hardest times when I need it most.

    I remember all throughout high school when I was dead set on go-ing to The University of Texas at Austin for college, he went out and bought a lot of UT attire and he even visited the school and got me the information I needed before applying.

    When it came down to the time for me to decide on a school to go to, I made a last minute switch and decided to be a Texas Tech Red Raider.

    In the blink of an eye, my dad jumped on board with me and has never brought up UT again, unless I happen to be cheering for them when they are playing a team I dis-like.

    This is just one example of his unconditional love and support.

    My dad is the person who helped me through every bump in the road throughout my college career, start-ing from Red Raider Orientation.

    He went there with me and was so involved in every aspect of the three-day program.

    While other parents were out on the golf course and staying in hotels, my dad went to every par-ent event, stayed in the dorms and probably still has every single bro-chure he collected during his visit.

    I know sometimes I can be a little hard to deal with, but my dad is al-ways there to vent to, even when I have the smallest complaint.

    Even though his advice is some-times hard to hear, I know my ex-Marine father is just using his tough love approach, and in the end, hes usually correct in doing so.

    Ive met a lot of people around town since starting my internship with The Pampa News, and more often than not, the people I speak with know my dad, and they light up when they talk about him.

    No one has ever had a cruel word to speak about him, which makes me all the more proud to claim him as mine.

    I know Im stubborn and some-times take for granted all the things my father has done for me, and I know I dont thank him nearly enough for all his love and support, but at the end of the day, I just want him to know how much he means to me.

    I love you, daddy!

    Terror and safetyThis week, Sen. Rand

    Paul, R-Ky., said the Na-tional Security Agencys

    data mining violates our Fourth Amend-ment right to be se-cure in their persons, houses, papers and is tyranny that our

    founders rebelled against. Good for him.

    In an op-ed, he adds, We fought a revolution over issues like general-ized warrants, where soldiers would go from house to house, searching anything they liked, and wonders which parts of the Constitution this gov-ernment will next consider negotiable. Good for him. Im glad at least one sena-tor reminds Big Govern-ment that our Constitution limits federal power.

    And many libertarians are furious at this latest intrusion of Big Brother.

    So whats wrong with me? I just cant get that worked up about it.

    I know Big Data now in NSA computers probably includes my phone calls. (I hope its just time, dura-tion, location and recipi-ents, not my words, too, but Im not sure.)

    I know the snooping may be unnecessary. Governments claim that it prevents terror is weak: Of cials say a terrorist was caught, but New York City police say he was caught via other methods. Im skeptical about the very claim that any terribly important secrets are held by unhappy 29-year-olds and 4.8 million other people (thats how many Americans hold security clearance for classi ed material).

    So its invasive, prob-ably illegal and maybe useless. I ought to be very angry. But Im not. Why?

    I need to keep thinking about this issue, but for now, two reasons:

    1. Terrorists do want to murder us. If the NSA is halfway competent, Big Data should help detect plots.

    2. My electronic privacy has already been utterly shredded by Google, Ama-zon, YouTube and so on.

    They know with whom I talk, what interests me and how much time I spend doing this or that. They creep me out with targeted ads. How did they know I want that?! Oh, right ... I spent an hour searching ...

    Then I go outside in New York City, where 16 cameras record me on my

    way to work.Greedy lawyers can sub-

    poena my private records. My employer has a right to read my emails.

    My privacy is already blown.

    Im angrier about other things Big Government does in the name of keep-ing me safe: forcing me to wear safety gear, limiting where I may go, stripping me at airports, forcing me to pay $2,300 for more military than we need.

    Actually, $2,300 is the average Americans pay for our military. I pay more. The total for all of us is more than $700 billon a year, which is, as Chris Preble of the Cato Institute pointed out on my TV show, more than we spent at the peak of the Cold War ... ghting the Soviet Union.

    The danger was greater then, when we had a nuclear Soviet Union threatening to bury us.

    Much of Americas defense spending goes to defend our allies in Europe and Asia. They spend less because we spend more.

    We are suckers, said Preble. I dont blame them. If I were in their situation, if someone else was offering to pay for my security, Id let them do it.

    And its not clear that we do what we do ef ciently. The U.S. Department of Defense is prone to the same sorts of inef ciency that plagues other parts of government. The depart-ments brownie recipe is 26 pages long.

    Military of cials say al-Qaida has been weakened. Iran (someday) may build a nuclear bomb, but we managed to deter China and Russia when they had thousands.

    Some people want the U.S. military to police the world: Contain China, transform failed states, chase terrorists, train for-eign militaries, protect sea lanes, protect oil supplies, stop genocide, protect refugees, maintain bases in allied countries, police our southern border, stop drug traf cking and spread good through humanitar-ian missions. The list is endless, which is the problem.

    We cant hand the gov-ernment unlimited power and unlimited money ev-ery time a potential crisis looms.

    Bouncin AroundTelevisions good old days

    Time for a trip down Memory Lane.

    My husband and I were talking about the good old days of

    television, when we had to choose between maybe ve or six channels.

    Oh, and you had

    to actually walk over to the TV to change channels. There really was no sex, unless you count Elly Mae Clam-pett from The Beverly Hillbillies. Lucy and Desi, Rob and Laura, Ozzie and Harriet they all slept in twin, separate beds. It was left to adult common sense to know where the offspring came from, and the kids watching didnt need to know.

    Just the fact that Lucille Ball was shown obviously pregnant during the time she really was pregnant was a bit historic. I do remember I was not allowed to watch that particular episode. We

    laughed at her antics, and everyone loved Lucy.

    Our Miss Brooks followed the humorous life of a high school teacher (Eve Arden) and her grumpy princi-pal, Mr. Conklin (Gale Gordon). Another teacher who made us laugh was Mr. Peepers, a junior high teacher played by Wally Cox. Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Mead-ows, and Joyce Ran-dolph gave us The Honeymooners, and I always wondered if all New Yorkers lived in tiny apartments. If I was lucky, I got to watch Lassie on Sundays. My grand-mother couldnt miss Lawrence Welk, which came on after Lassie, so my brothers usually disappeared around that time, leaving me some TV time of my own.

    Violence? I guess the old Westerns Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Rin Tin Tin, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Have Gun, Will Travel, Hopalong Cassidy, Wagon Train, Zorro and others like them were violent in

    that there were always gun battles and other skirmishes with bad guys. But you rarely, if ever, saw blood. Of course, in black and white and on a 12-inch screen, it would hardly be recognizable as blood. As a child I watched Howdy Doody, the Mickey Mouse Club, the Lit-tle Rascals, and some kids shows that were local to California.

    My favorite as a young child was Bea-ny and Cecil, and I eagerly awaited each weeks adventure of Beany-boy, Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent, and their boat, the Leakin Lena. My two older brothers watched the Westerns, Drag-net, with Jack Webb, Superman, Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless, Com-bat, Science Fiction Theater and later The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling showed us the places that often reap-peared in our night-mares. There were the weekly variety shows: Jack Benny, Burns and Allen (Say good night,

    Gracie), George Gobel (Ill be a dirty bird!), Red Skelton, and monthly shows with Bob Hope.

    We could always count on seeing Bob Hope, Perry Como or Dina Shore in a Christ-mas special.

    No profanity was heard on any of these shows, and parents neednt worry what their children were watching.

    There are many good programs from which to choose to-day. Thanks to cable and satellite, we have literally hundreds of stations.

    The educational chan-nels PBS, History, Biography, Discovery and others appeal more to me at this time of my life, though I do admit that Ron and I both enjoy CSI, NCIS, Person of Interest and The Big Bang Theory.

    Weve grown up along with television, but those old programs still bring us a smile.

  • Deck collapses at popular Miami-area sports bar NORTH BAY VIL-

    LAGE, Fla. (AP) The outdoor deck at a popular Miami-area sports bar par-tially collapsed during the NBA Finals, sending dozens of people into the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay.

    The accident occurred around 9:45 p.m. Thursday as customers were watching the Miami Heat play the San Antonio Spurs.

    Miami-Dade Fire Chief David Downey said 24 peo-ple were taken to area hos-pitals. Many had cuts and bruises, though one person suffered a fracture, a re of- cial said. Two people were in serious condition.

    Authorities said about 100 people were on the deck of Shuckers Bar & Grill in North Bay Village, north of Miami Beach, when it gave way. The deck was about 8 to 10 feet above the wa-ters surface, about the same height as a sea wall that runs along the bay.

    Friday morning, a small U.S. Coast Guard vessel was anchored off shore. The dock, which collapsed in a v-shape, was strewn with large potted palms, green plastic chairs and tables, and umbrellas. Some ip- ops were scattered among sugar packets, mustard bottles and other condiments from the tables.

    Im trying to see why the

    supports collapsed, struc-tural engineer Morgan Vil-lanueva said Friday as he ar-rived to inspect the dock. He said it appears a main beam on the western edge of the dock buckled, creating the collapse.

    Villanueva said Florida building codes typically call for a deck that can sup-port about 100 pounds per square foot.

    If people (watching the NBA Finals) were excited and jumping, its going to be an additional load, he said.

    Right after the collapse, sports bar customers and later rescuers helped people from the water amid yelling, crying and a rush to nd people who might be submerged.

    One witness, Martin Tor-res, 42, of Los Angeles, said he was inside the sports bar with family and friends when heard what sounded like a loud explosion. At rst, he thought a boat had struck the deck. He said he looked outside and saw people staring up from the water, and then he and oth-ers started helping them out of the bay.

    It was shock, said Torres. People were yell-ing. Nobody knew. People came out all wet. They were crying. For a while, nobody knows what was going on.

    Israel Marquez, 37, of Bakers eld, Calif., who like Torres was in Florida because hes scheduled to board a cruise on Friday, said he heard a big old snap. Boom. Like a shotgun blast.

    Marquez said he looked out at the deck, and it all came down in slow mo-tion.

    Many people seemed in shock, with cuts and gashes on their faces. He said he went to the edge and helped ve or six people from the water before rescuers ar-rived.

    A lot of people were just shaken up, added Eric Wil-liams, 42, of Atlanta. He rushed to the scene with his son, and they jumped in to help people after they heard a loud noise from their room at the adjacent Best Western.

    He described the scene as pandemonium, with peo-ple scrambling to get out.

    There was initially some concern that people might have been trapped in the water beneath the crumpled deck. But divers searched the waters as helicopters overhead shined spotlights onto the scene, and Downey said later that everyone was accounted for.

    There were a lot of TVs and everybody was in cel-ebration and it was loud. So when it started happening, some people didnt even realize what was going on, said Miami-Dade Fire Res-cue spokeswoman Griselle Marino.

    Heat player Dwyane Wade said after the game that his thoughts were with the injured fans.

    Id like to share our con-cerns as an organization and our gratitude to our fans back in Miami, but share our concerns for all that were in-jured tonight at Shuckers restaurant, he said.

    My nose and ears were always clogged and I had sinus infections several times a year. Since I started my allergy treatments, my ears have cleared. I no longer have sinus pressure, so I can now wear sunglasses again. Even being around hay doesn t give me any problems. I haven t had any

    sinus infections since starting the injections. -Trena Moore, LMT

    I have had nagging allergies almost my entire life. The kind where it isn t bad enough to take allergy medication often but still have a constant nasal drip, congestion on waking, occasional watery eyes and non-stop sneezing fits if I am around cotton.

    So I figured I would give allergy injections a shot. A month in, I now realize how much my allergies were affecting my life because now have no problems. I wake up without the congestion, I don t have to have a tissue on me at all times and I

    can drive by the White Deer Gin without any problems! -Samantha Ford, D.C.

    Warm weather brings crime spike

    BY OFFICER STORMY MCCULLAR

    Summer is here, and with the warm weather it brings, we always see a spike in car and residential burglar-ies. With most crimes a little preparation and plan-ning can lessen the chances of you becoming a victim. The Pampa Police Depart-ment encourages citizens to please take appropriate measure to protect your property.

    Always lock your car doors. We saw in 2011 about 98 percent of citi-zens who had their car burglarized had left doors unlocked. The other 2 per-cent locked their doors but had a purse, wallet or lap-top in the front passenger

    seat. Leaving these items and valuables in the open is almost a personal invitation for a criminal.

    Always secure your home. Add extra measures in securing your residence. Check locks on doors and windows to make sure they are in good working condi-tion. If possible add secu-rity systems and/or alarm systems. Burglars want to avoid detection, and if an alarm is present, they will more than likely pass up your home.

    We encourage citizens to work with us toward giving criminals little or no op-portunity to damage and/or steal property.

    If you have any ques-tions, call PPD at 806-669-5700, Ext. 259.

    Man allowed to curse on N.Y. ticket payment LIBERTY, N.Y. (AP)

    A 22-year-old Connecticut man who wrote obscenities and Tyranny on his speed-ing ticket payment claims in a federal lawsuit that his free speech rights were violated when he was arrested.

    William Barboza is suing two police of cers in the Catskill-area village of Lib-erty over the arrest.

    Barboza had replaced the word Liberty with Tyran-ny and added an obscenity-laced insult on the payment form accompanying an Au-

    gust 2012 ticket.The lawsuit led by the

    New York Civil Liberties Union says the Fair eld County man was ordered to town court, where he was handcuffed and arrested for aggravated harassment. He posted $200 bail that day. The charge was dismissed in March.

    The NYCLU argues that offensive language is pro-tected speech.

    There was no immediate comment from Liberty po-lice.

    Feathers, bottle tops mark Malawi

    Fashion Week BLANTYRE, Malawi

    (AP) Models on the runway in Malawi sported dresses with bottle-tops and wearing hats made of chicken feathers, as the southern African country hosted its rst-ever Fash-ion Week.

    More than a dozen de-signers took part in the event showcasing chic but affordable clothing in Malawi, a conservative country where women were banned from wearing pants and miniskirts until 1994.

    The goal is to progress the fashion industry that is booming in Africa, says Dawa Loga-Lemberger, CEO of Elegant Re-sources, a company that is helped stage the event ear-lier this month.

    Malawi ranks among Africas poorest coun-tries, though local design-ers were keen to show it doesnt take expensive fabrics or highly-paid models to host a Fashion Week.

    Designer Eva Gertrude Kapanda said she mostly made her clothes, earrings and shoes with locally available materials.

    I usually design about Africa, she says. For example, I use chitenje (traditional printed cloth) which is cheap. I use plas-tics when I make earrings.

    I also use chicken feathers for the ear-rings. I make stuff from everything . wood, even bottle tops.

    Many of the designs on display last week mixed traditional African wax print fabrics with Western-style designs.

    I use African material to make my garments but I do it in contemporary way, something that an African and somebody who is not African can actually feel comfortable to wear, says Patricia Ntambalika, a Ma-lawian designer based in Windhoek, Namibia.

    Ntambalika says fashion has a future in Malawi as attitudes toward clothing have changed.

    Malawian women nev-er used to wear trousers or mini-skirts but nowadays people are free and they can wear whatever they want as long as it looks fashionable on them, she says.

    Grace Khondi, who at-tended Malawi Fashion Week, said the designers had a lot to offer.

    Im impressed with what I saw, she said. We have lots of talent in Ma-lawi.

    Loga-Lemberger says the Malawi Fashion Week could mean big business not only for designers but also for local cotton grow-ers.

    Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum to support health initiative

    Submitted

    CANYON Did you know that according to the Mayo Clinic exercis-ing by taking a walk can prevent vari-ous conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or other conditions? PPHM recognizes the need for physical ac-tivity in everyones lives and has cre-ated the PPHM t program.

    Guy C. Vanderpool, museum di-rector stated, We are pleased to an-nounce the launch of PPHM t for all visitors to enjoy. PPHM t is follow-ing the lead of the Institute of Mu-seum and Library Services and hun-dreds of museums across the country to encourage visitors to think about life-long health and the bene ts of exercise. PPHM t is designed for people of all ages to learn from and enjoy as they tour the largest history museum in the Lone Star State and see our great exhibits. We are grateful that a generous grant from the Cardi-ology Center of Amarillo made this new learning experience possible.

    During your visit to PPHM if you see everything in the museum on each oor and in every nook, you would have traveled almost one mile and taken about 2,000 steps. With PPHM t, we want to encourage visi-tors to walk throughout the museum and see the variety of galleries and in-formation presented. We also want to increase awareness of cardiovascular health and the bene ts of exercise while promoting physical activity to

    children and healthy lifestyle habits.So how does the program work?

    PPHM t stations have been set up in various locations throughout the museum from the basement to the second oor and several stops in be-tween. Visitors are invited to take a card from the front desk and com-plete the 2,000 steps by stamping each spot on the card at each station. Once the visitor has walked the entire distance and lled in their card they will receive a PPHM t water bottle.

    PPHM would like to thank the Cardiology Center of Amarillo for their support and sponsorship of the PPHM t initiative.

    Monte Slatton M.D., from the Car-diology Center of Amarillo discussed the need for this kind of program, We know from multiple patient studies that exercise offers tremen-dous advantages for overall health. Speci cally exercise improves con-trol of diabetes, lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, and helps with weight reduction. In short, exercise improves almost every adverse health marker. By lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and improving diabetes control exercise is able to lower our risk of heart attack, stroke, and pe-ripheral vascular disease. Exercise also improves our mood by causing a release of endorphins and other com-pounds in the brain that make us feel better.

    In addition, regular exercise im-proves our ability to function and

    helps relieve back and joint pain. Al-though vigorous exercise is helpful it is not necessarily required for major health bene ts. We should try to ob-tain as much exercise as possible but we know that walking as little as 20 minutes 3 times per week can have impressive health bene ts.

    Im very excited about the PPHM t program it is a great way for the pa-trons of the museum to obtain some exercise, get healthy, and look at all of the interesting and outstanding ex-hibits all at once. The ultimate goal for all of us in the medical profession is to keep our patients minds and bodies healthy. The PPHM t pro-gram is a great way to do both.

    PPHM t will be a permanent pro-gram at the museum. This program is part of the Lets Move initiative! This initiative, created by First Lady Michele Obama, aims to get kids and families moving and eating healthy food.

    Located on the campus of West Texas A&M University, the Panhan-dle-Plains Historical Museum is the largest history museum in Texas, with more than 285,000 square feet and over two million artifacts dedicated to preserving this areas past. PPHM offers visitors a chance to step into panhandle history with special exhibits, a permanent collec-tion, Pioneer Town, cell phone tours, educational tours and special events.

    When were out of town on road trips and people ask where we live, we tell them Canyon, but they dont know where that is. When we tell them Amarillo, they know thats the home of AQHA.

    Horses and love have kept Angie and Brant Moore together.

    Both of the Canyon residents have loved riding all their lives. Angie is a barrel racer, and Brant was a team roper.

    In the three years they have been married, they have combined their hobbies to share the sport of cowboy mounted shooting.

    If it wasnt for the horses, wed spend a lot of time apart doing separate things, Brant says. The horses bring us together.

    Since discovering mounted shooting, Angie and Brant have traveled across the United States together, getting better at their sport and making new friends they consider family, all with their American Quarter Horses in tow.

    Angie and Brant hope to have a family ranch someday where they can keep their horses and their shooting dreams alive.

    We have our barrel racing family, our mounted shooting family and the family weve created together, Angie says. The horses are our kids.

    3OT Stanley Cup opener CHICAGO (AP) Long

    after the celebration was over, Marian Hossa finally made it home and managed to fall asleep around 3 a.m. The Chicago star woke up a few hours later, roused by a noisy neighbor.

    I think my neighbor de-cided he was going to drill in the morning. That was really unpleasant, Hossa said Thursday. You know, hopefully, he is going to get the message for next time, he wont drill. Feel a little tired today.

    Its OK, Marian. Every-one was a little tired after a rousing start to the Stanley Cup finals.

    Chicago and Boston played three overtimes Wednesday night in the fifth-longest game in the history of the NHLs mar-quee series. It finally came to an end at the stroke of midnight, no less when Andrew Shaw deflected Dave Bollands shot into the goal to give the Black-hawks the victory.

    It was a deflating outcome for the Bruins, who also lost important forward Nathan Horton to an injury during the first overtime, while the Blackhawks seemed re-lieved that they didnt have to sit on such a heartbreak-ing loss for two days before Game 2 on Saturday night.

  • Jim Hitch Memorial Golf Championship completes 42nd consecutive yearSubmitted

    GUYMON, Okla. One of the oldest and most prestigious junior golf tournaments in the nation completed 42 years of un-interrupted competition. The Jim Hitch Memorial began in honor of the pre-mature death of the son of a prominent ranching family and their desire to help the youth of the region with a quality golf tournament to enjoy. Quickly the tourna-ment gained traction and became an important event in junior golf. The tourna-ment, known for its extrav-agant trophies, is played at Sunset Hills in Guymon, Okla.

    Over the last four decades the tournament has pro-duced many famous alumni such as PGA tour stars Bob Estes, Bill Glasson, Ryan Palmer, David Edwards and Jim Woodward. This years champions hold out hope for the continued fu-ture success.

    The champion of this years tournament is Con-

    nor Willimon and winning is nothing new for him. Connor has another year of High School in Spearman, Texas and has already won numerous tournaments on a national scale. The Jim Hitch Memorial has gained Major status and for win-ning this year Connor has earned an automatic ex-emptions into the Oklaho-ma Tour Championship in Oklahoma City, the Rocky Mountain Junior Tour Championship in Phoenix, Ariz. and the West Cham-pionship that will be played in nearby Canyon, Texas.

    The girls division was won this year by Taylor Chase of Guymon. Taylor shot an impressive round of 80 in the violent weather on the day of the event. Taylor is well known in the area for winning seven of eight tournaments she played in this past season of High School golf.

    The Boys 12-14 age di-vision was won by Mat-thew Mantel of Shattuck, Okla., with another great round of 80 in the very dif-

    ficult conditions. The following are the

    results from the 42nd Jim Hitch Memorial Golf Championship.
