EL PASO COUNTY — Only three of thesix school districts in the Upper and LowerValleys are holding elections on Nov. 4th.

But in those three, a whopping 29 men andwomen are vying for trustee positions inCanutillo, Clint and Fabens.

By far, the greatest interest/activity is in theCanutillo ISD where more than half of thatnumber, 15, are on the ballot for four at-largepositions. Five are in Clint and nine are seek-ing trustee office in Fabens.

“Normally we have five or maybe six run-ning for office,” says Alfredo Vasquez, publicinformation for the district. Asked why therewere so many seeking office this year, hespeculated that it was because it has been threeyears since the last election.

“We are pleased that community members

want to get involved and help us.”Art Gallegos, selected at random, is one of

the 15 and was asked why he is running.“I want to make things right for our kids,”

he said. “There are wrongs we need to correct.They (school board) are not transparent.”

Pat Randleel, former mayor of Horizon City,is one of the five running for an at-large posi-tion on the Clint ISD school board. She saidshe is running because there is no one fromHorizon City presently on the board. “This areais growing, and we need to be represented.”

A fourth district, Tornillo ISD, cancelled itsNovember election because only the three incum-bents had filed for re-election. The recent restruc-turing of election schedules gave school boardsflexibility as to when they want to have them.

The Anthony ISD will have its election forthree positions in May of 2009. San Elizario’swill be in May of 2010.

The San Elizario school district will not holdits trustees’ election until May of 2010.

Authorities seek Canutillo pranksters

As the nation marks the annual NationalBreast Cancer Awareness Month this Octo-ber, the American Cancer Society (ACS) isencouraging women to fight breast cancerby taking charge of their personal breasthealth and supporting efforts against the dis-ease. The Society is reminding women 40and older about the importance of getting amammogram annually to detect breast can-cer in its earliest, most treatable stage. Anestimated 182,460 new cases of invasivebreast cancer are expected to occur amongwomen in the U.S. in 2008, and about 40,480deaths are expected.

Studies clearly show that early detectionof breast cancer through mammographygreatly improves treatment options, thechances for successful treatment and sur-vival. Early-stage breast cancer typically pro-duces no symptoms when the tumor is smalland most treatable, so it is important thatwomen follow recommended guidelines forfinding breast cancer before the symptomsdevelop. On average, mammography willdetect about 80 percent to 90 percent ofbreast cancers in women without symptoms.

“Survival rates for breast cancer are sig-nificantly higher when the cancer has notspread,” said Kirsten Bruce, manager,health initiative field support, at the ACS.“Numerous studies have shown thatearly detection increases treatment op-tions and can save lives. That is why it isso important for women 40 and older to

Crime StoppersSomebody committed an intentional act ofCriminal Mischief that resulted in cancel-ling all school bus service in Canutillo,making this the Crime Stoppers “Crime ofthe Week.” On Wednesday morning, Oct.1, at 6:00 a.m., employees of the CanutilloIndependent School District arrived at theDistrict’s Support Services Building, 7710Cap Carter Road, to discover that somebodyhad flattened the tires of 39 District schoolbuses overnight. This resulted in the can-cellation of all school bus service for thatmorning. Investigators from the El PasoCounty Sheriff’s Office stated that the bustires were not slashed, but the valve stemson the tires were purposely unscrewed, let-ting the air out. Though there was no overtdamage to the buses, this act of CriminalMischief interrupted all public transporta-tion for the students that morning, causinga great deal of inconvenience. Although nosuspects were identified, it appears likelythat the culprits were students or former stu-dents because the culprits left a slogan inthe dirt which read, “Class of 2009.” Lastweek was Homecoming Week at CanutilloHigh School, and in past years students havevandalized school district buildings andservices during this time of year. If you haveany information about this crime, please callCrime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-TIPS(8477) or submit your tip online atwww.crimestoppersofelpaso.org. You willremain anonymous and, if your tip leads toan arrest, you may earn a cash reward up to$1,000.

Traffic watchThe El Paso Police Department has chosen“Following Too Close” as the traffic focusfor the month of October. The traffic focusis designed to address a common traffic is-sue that is observed by our officers and thathelp contribute to collisions. The El PasoPolice Department with the assistance of thenews media provides the information to thepublic on these common traffic issues andexplains the law so that drivers can avoidmaking those mistakes. In addition offic-ers in the field will be paying extra atten-tion to those particular violations that arethe focus of the month. The Texas Trans-portation Code (545.062) states that a driverthat is behind another vehicle will maintainan assured clear distance between the twovehicles, so that with the speed that theyare traveling at, traffic, and road conditions

the driver can stop safely without hittingthe car in front or any other object or per-son on the road. The Texas Drivers Hand-book defines following distances as:Following Interval — The time recom-mended to follow another vehicle in theintended path of travel. [To calculate yourinterval], select an object near the road sur-face. When the vehicle ahead passes thatobject, start counting “one thousand-one,”“one thousand-two,” etc., until the front ofyour car reaches that point. For speeds un-der 30 mph, the minimum time with goodroad conditions is two seconds. For speedsabove 30 mph, maintain four seconds (morefor adverse conditions) of following time.Developing a four second following inter-val is the best practice for a novice driver.

From the “where did this come from” de-partment, the UTEP Miners won their secondstraight Conference USA game, 40-37, overSouthern Mississippi in double overtime.

That means that UTEP, yes UTEP, is tied forthe C-USA West Division lead at 2-0 withTulsa.

Okay, Tulsa is 5-0 this year while the Min-ers are just 2-3, but in the biggest of big pic-tures, all that counts at this point are the con-ference games. And both UTEP and Tulsa arethe current kings of the Western Divisionmountain — as crazy as that sounds.

But like I pondered in my opening, when didthe Miners finally realize they could play goodfootball?

If you remember — and it’s difficult to be-lieve any of you UTEP fans could have forgot-ten — the Miners lost their first three gamesof the season. It looked like they’d be hard-pressed to break into the win column any timesoon.

And after that humiliating 34-33 loss to the

UTEP Miners in tie for first in Conference USANMSU Aggies, there was real doubt the Min-ers would be able to beat anyone left on theirschedule.

But the Miners have apparently ripped amighty big branch off of that confidence treebecause they now truly believe they can winevery game they play.

And very often that’s half the battle.After that 58-13 dismantling of Central

Florida, Coach Mike Price and his playersknew they could save their season with an im-probable win on the road. The win at SouthernMiss sets up an incredible scenario for UTEP’shomecoming week.

This Saturday night the Miners return homefor the Tulane Green Wave. After winning acouple games they were supposed to lose,UTEP should walk away with a win this week-end to go to 3-0 in C-USA.

That’s not to say that Tulane will be a cakewalk. The Green Wave gave both Alabama (lost20-6) and East Carolina (lost 28-24) a goodtussle. But they are coming off a surprising 44-13 home loss to Army.

After UTEP Athletics Director Bob Stullspent the last few weeks seeing empty SunBowl seats in his nightmares, the old football

stadium should see a crowd of 45,000 or morethis weekend. Of course a sellout is never outof the question.

If the Miners defeat the Green Wave andTulsa knocks off SMU, the two 3-0 teams willmeet the week after in Tulsa.

And let me tell you a little something aboutTulsa. The undefeated Golden Hurricanescored 45 points in their first game of the sea-son — that is the fewest points they’ve scoredin a game this season.

They beat Alabama-Birmingham 45-22,North Texas 56-26, New Mexico 56-14, Cen-tral Arkansas 62-34 and Rice 63-28.

That 3-3-5 UTEP defense had better play likea 5-5-7 if they want to stop Tulsa’s offense.

But first things first. The Miners have agreat chance to salvage a season that manythought was all but lost. Football is fun againin El Paso.

These young Miners are beginning to believethey can win. As fans, we should show themwe believe as well.

The juice is bottledIt took 13 years to the day.O.J. Simpson looked straight ahead while

they verdict was read aloud in the courtroom.Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guil… youget the idea.

Thirteen times in a row, the word guilty wasread after every single count. And with everymention of the word, you could see the life,and dreams, and hopes, and any future tee timesdrain from his face.

And I’ve got to believe that about 93% ofthe United States loved every second.

One commentator put it so well over theweekend. He said it would be poetic justice ifO.J. was put in a cell with a window that facedthe golf course.

I really believe that some day, before heleaves this Earth, O.J. will admit to everyonethat he did indeed commit the murders he wasaccused of.

Not that anyone really doubts it, but Simpsonhas a big mouth and an even bigger ego andjust can’t help himself.

It’s been announced that O.J. will bekept away from the other inmates for hisprotection.

Personally, I don’t care what they do withhim in prison, as long as he is kept away fromsociety — and any golf courses.

ComixOUT ON A LIMB By Gary Kopervas

AMBER WAVES By Dave T. Phipps

THE SPATS By Jeff Pickering

R.F.D. By Mike Marland

By Don FloodLike seemingly every past presi-

dential candidate in U.S. history —except George Washington — Sen.John McCain has vowed to “shakeup Washington.”

(George Washington refrainedfrom promising to “shake upWashington” on the advice of hispolitically astute wife, Martha,who thought it would confuse vot-ers if her husband appeared to berunning against himself. Georgeagreed and thus the phrase “insidethe beltway” was born.)

But unlike previous candidates,McCain has an asset that actuallymay allow him to fulfill his prom-ise: his running mate, Gov. SarahPalin.

In an address last June, Palin re-ferred to the Iraq War as a “taskthat is from God.” No big newsthere. God often informs his ser-vants on Earth when he’s ready towage war.

But another statement makes itclear that Palin has a much tighterrelationship with the Almightythan even George W. Bush.

Speaking about the multi-billiondollar Alaskan natural-gas pipelineproject, Palin said, “God’s will hasto be done in unifying people andcompanies to get that gas linebuilt” — the first public announce-ment of God’s official position onthe project.

Discerning God’s will on energyissues, even big ones such as thepipeline, can be difficult, since theBible offers little direct evidenceabout the Almighty’s agenda,though natural gas company theo-logians often cite the Second Let-ter of Peter as providing implicitsupport.

(Oddly enough, in what is some-thing of a theological conundrum,Satan is also believed to supportthe pipeline project. While at-tempts to reach the Prince of Dark-ness were unsuccessful, sources

God save the future Queenfamiliar with the Evil One’s think-ing say that Satan is “firmly com-mitted” to the pipeline and is evenoffering help to make sure theproject remains environmentallyfriendly — another instance ofSatan’s “go green” initiative. De-tractors point out, however, that hecould be lying because, after all,he is the Devil.)

Palin’s announcement, however,suggests not a close reading of theBible, but a direct revelation fromGod.

No wonder McCain had a gleamin his eye when he said that withPalin’s help he was going tochange Washington and cut thesize of the federal government.Unlike past presidents, he’ll beable to call on an ally even morepowerful than the lobbyists.

For too long, Republicans andDemocrats have been locked in bit-ter partisan battle, resulting ingridlock.

But gridlock would disappearunder Palin’s rule. Pronouncingher Doctrine of Vice PresidentialInfallibility, Palin would simplysupply legislators with God’sagenda on everything from healthcare to offshore drilling. (The Al-mighty is believed to be heavily infavor of offshore drilling.)

Soon, of course, both Congressand the Supreme Court would be-come redundant, as would allpolicy-making bureaucrats. Onlythose federal employees needed tocarry out Palin’s — or God’s —plans would be required.

The only question would be,how long will we persist in insult-ing Palin with the lowly title of vicepresident before we drop to ourknees and proclaim her as our Sov-ereign Queen.

In that case, I think all of uswould know God’s will.______________________________________________________(c) 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.

get an annual mammogram.”The ACS recommends yearly mammograms

and clinical breast exams for women 40 andolder and a clinical breast examination at leastonce every three years for women between theages of 20 and 39. The Society also recom-mends magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) forcertain women at high risk. Women at moder-ate risk should talk with their doctors aboutthe benefits and limitations of adding MRIscreening to their yearly mammogram.

While we do not yet know how to prevent

breast cancer, we do know that women whomaintain a healthy weight, eat a well-balanceddiet, and are physically active 45 to 60 min-utes on five or more days of the week can re-duce their risk of breast cancer. Also, limitingalcohol consumption can reduce breast cancerrisk – two or more drinks a day may increasebreast cancer risk by 21 percent.

The ACS and its partner advocacy organiza-tion, the American Cancer Society Cancer Ac-tion Network (ACSCAN), continue to engagein activities to increase funding for the NationalBreast and Cervical Cancer Early DetectionProgram (NBCCEDP). This important pro-gram provides low-income, uninsured andunderinsured women access to mammograms,Pap tests, follow-up care and treatment whenneeded. Current funding only enables the pro-gram to serve one in five eligible women ages50 to 64 nationwide, and for the first time sincethe program’s inception, fewer women are nowbeing served due to flat funding rates and cutsin funding over the past five years.

This lifesaving program cannot be fully re-alized if eligible women can not get early de-tection tests due to insufficient funding.ACSCAN encourages anyone touched by thisdisease to let Congress know that support forthe NBCCEDP is important and that an in-crease in funding for this program, to $250million this year, is vital to its continuation.The faster members of Congress make theircommitment of support, the better the programcan serve more of our mothers, sisters, daugh-ters and friends.

Vasquez pointed out. “They saved us a lot ofproblems.”

Fortunately the tires had not been punctured,only the valve stems had been removed. Whilepeople were replacing the valve stems and re-inflating tires, calls were being made to schooladministrators and parents to alert them to theproblem so that appropriate adjustments couldbe made in bus schedules.

Of the 5,800 students in the CISD, 4,600 ridebuses.

Vasquez says priority was given to gettingthe special education buses ready first.

Despite the problems, Vasquez says the firstbuses were rolling out of the yard by around6:15. By 9:15 all of the buses were back.

A survey of other school districts in the Up-per and Lower Valley shows that, in recentmemory, they have not experienced the sameproblem that the Canutillo district did. And thesame went for graffiti problems.

Bobby Telas, security supervisor for theFabens ISD, also says that school vandalism andgraffiti are not problems in his area of the LowerValley . One of the main reasons is that the schooldistrict and the community work together toeradicate the graffiti as soon as it occurs.

Paul Vranish, superintendent of the adjacentTornillo ISD, says 100 security cameras in andaround the school buildings “tend to discour-age” acts of vandalism.
