OVERTON — Visitors to the Overton-New London Chamber of Commerce meet-ing saw a new, streamlined organization, as the group handled a variety of business items concerning upcoming events and festivals and then decided to begin an Ambassadors and Golden Treasures sup-

Monday in the chamber offices locat-ed downtown. President Loretta Posey administrated the session, assisted by Jeanie Barber, executive vice president and chamber secretary.

The reason the chamber now has a streamlined meeting, Posey said, is

Monday saw early voting totals decrease slightly in the Rusk Coun-ty Elections Office, Kathie Wittner, Rusk County Elections Coordina-tor, said.

Wittner reported only 80 early voters on Monday, bringing the total for the six days to just over

1,300 with only today left.And, as of 11 a.m., Wittner

reported only 20 early voters at her office. She did not have any totals from Northside Elementary where early voting was occurring in Room 303 (the ISS Room) until 4 p.m.

“I think we will have more early voters this year than we did last,” she said.

Texas is on the verge of reversing its steady march toward increased high-stakes testing and tougher grad-uation standards in public schools with the state Senate’s unanimous approval Monday of House Bill 5.

The legislation cuts the number of end-of-course exams students need

for graduation from 15 to five.It also creates new diploma plans

aimed at giving students more flex-ibility to pursue career training courses.

“We’re talking about one of the most important pieces of legislation not just this session but in any ses-sion because it impacts over 5 million students and families,” said Senate Education Committee Chairman Dan Patrick, R-Houston.

“So you have to get it right.”The House and Senate must now

work out their differences before sending the bill to Gov. Rick Perry.

While the two chambers are pretty close on the testing provisions, the Senate increased graduation require-ments beyond what the House has approved.

That change might help avert a Perry veto.

Under the Senate bill, all stu-dents will begin on a path toward an “endorsement,” which would require different courses based on wheth-er the student is focusing on career training, science and math, or arts and humanities.

They could also pursue a distin-guished academic plan akin to the

current 4x4: four years each of Eng-lish, math science and social studies.

“It’s going to give students the flex-ibility to follow their passion,” Patrick said of the new pathways to gradua-tion.

“We’re not stepping back on 4x4. We just allow students to make sub-stitutions in certain courses where their interests lie.”

Students who hope to qualify for automatic admission to a Texas col-lege under the state’s top-ten provi-sion must take English 3 and Algebra 2, which is not required under the

Texas Department of Transportation contract crews began the final phase for signal upgrades in down-town Henderson starting Monday.

They are scheduled to start mill-and-inlay operations for approximately one week, a TxDOT press release states.

“This is a lot of work in a tight space,” Tyler-based TxDOT spokesman Larry Krantz said. “We’re strongly recommending that motor-ists use their knowledge of the area to seek alternate routes to bypass the square this week if their intended

destination is not on the square.”

Crews are scheduled to remove the old pavement in the work area, replace it with fresh hot mix this week, weather-permitting, then stripe the area early next week before activating the new traffic signals.

In addition to providing a brand-new driving surface, the pavement-repair work will change the old roadway striping that would not have been compatible with the new signals.

“The new signals are gen-erations ahead of the old sig-nals,” Krantz said. “They’ll be hooked into a larger signal network that will be more responsive to motorists using the intersection and traveling throughout Henderson. As a project, this one was long overdue, and we appreciate

Letters to the editor

Video surveillance cameras have been growing in popularity for years, but in recent weeks their advance has gotten a

turbo boost. After helping identify two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, they went from occasionally desirable to universally vital.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, which already has some 10,000 cameras, said the city would keep on adding cameras — perhaps out-doing his predecessor, who dreamed of a cam-era on every corner. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a similar tack: “You wait — in five years, the technology is getting better, there will be cameras every place.”

The public seems fine with that. A recent New York Times/CBS News poll found that 78 per-cent of Americans welcome video monitoring.

It was seen as useful before, but the Boston attack cloaked it in glory. Three days afterward, police released images of the suspects, which apparently flushed them out. The next day, one of them was dead and the other was in custody.

There is no doubt that the cameras were a big help this time. But that doesn’t mean they are generally a good idea — much less a crucial tool in fighting terrorism and crime.

Surveillance cameras were originally touted as a strong deterrent, scaring away bad guys fearful of being caught on tape. But these devices have a disappointing record in action. In some places, they noticeably reduce crime. In others, they have the same effect as a potted plant.

In the Boston bombings, the cameras utterly failed in their preventive function. Not only did the bombings occur; they occurred in perhaps the most heavily photographed spot in America that day. Besides the permanent video cameras in operation, hundreds of spectators with cell-phones were eagerly capturing the scene.

The alleged killers could hardly have been unaware of their exposure. They obviously chose the finish of the marathon precisely because of all the people and lenses that would be there when the explosives detonated. They made no effort to conceal or disguise their faces to avoid being identified.

In this instance, the footage did help in catch-ing the culprits.

But one success is not enough to validate the whole enterprise. Terrorism, after all, is an extremely rare event, particularly compared to

ordinary violent crime — and, unlike crime, it tends to occur in places of high visibility.

Putting video gear in areas that are obvious potential terrorist targets is one thing. Putting them on every corner of an entire city is another. Some places are enviably safe without surveillance, which means any cameras installed there should be color-coordi-nated, since they will be pri-

marily decorative.Supporters may ask: What’s the harm? One

drawback is that taxpayers are not composed of cash. Buying a camera costs money; so does maintaining it and monitoring the images it gen-erates. A dollar spent on surveillance video is a dollar that can’t be spent on foot patrols, police training, DNA tests or streetlights.

Another is that cameras contribute greatly to the steady erosion of personal privacy. Ameri-cans are generally oblivious to this phenomenon because they are oblivious to the multitude of unblinking eyes watching them in the course of a day. If each of us had a little alarm that went off every time we came into camera range, we might be less agreeable to the monitoring.

Of course, the impact varies demographically. A typical middle-aged white male can count on being largely ignored by the cops watching live video feeds. In camera-rich Britain, it turns out, the eyes in the control room tend to focus on two groups: dark-skinned young males and fetching young females.

Cameras may also soften us up for even deeper intrusions. If video feeds are so great, why not add audio? If you can stand being watched whenever you leave home, surely you won’t mind if every word is heard as well. And how about a tiny drone hovering over your front door, round the clock — for the rest of your life?

Enthusiasts for electronic surveillance may say: If you have nothing to hide, you have noth-ing to fear. But there’s a reason people don’t live in glass houses.

Q: As a kid, I enjoyed Fizzies, a p o p u l a r fruit-flavored drink made by drop-ping a tablet into a glass of water. When was it developed? — D.M.C., Perry, Ga.

A: Fizzies were invented by Emerson Drug Co. while it was working on a product similar to Bromo-Seltzer. By 1962, Fizzies were available across the nation, exceeding Kool-Aid in sales and popularity. The effervescent tab-lets were made in grape, cherry, orange, punch, berry, lemon-lime and root beer flavors — eight tab-lets cost 19 cents. Unfortunate-ly, Fizzies contained cyclamate, which was banned by the Food and Drug Administration in 1968.

In 1995, Fizzies were reintro-duced with a new formula con-taining NutraSweet, but they did not last long. The company went out of business the next year. Fizzies came back in 2005, and you can find out where to buy the tablets at <fizzies.com.>

Q: One of the most beauti-ful sights at night is the full moon. On a clear night, the moon is so bright you can do some outside chores. How much brighter is the full moon than the half moon? — T.L., Wooster, Ohio

A: The full moon is ten times brighter than the half moon.

Q: I picked up a novel in England this summer. One of the characters uses a “Stow-away.” I can’t quite figure out what it is. — O.L., Upper Darby, Pa.

A: When first introduced in the United States in 1979, the Sony Walkman was known as a Sound-about. In England, the same product was called a Stowaway.

DID YOU KNOW? Woody Allen wrote the movie “Annie Hall” (1977) with Diane Keaton in mind. It’s even named after her: Keaton’s real name is Diane Hall, and her nickname is Annie.

Q: I’ve been told there is a Disco Island someplace in the world. I can’t find it. Can you? — P.L., Jamestown, N.Y.

A: Spelled Disko, it is an island located off the west coast of Greenland. In Greenlandic, the island is called Qeqertarsuup.

Q: At what age does a squab, a young pigeon, become a pigeon? — B.D.E., Joliet, Ill.

A: There is no specific age when the transition occurs. When a squab flies, it is a pigeon.

Q: I am a longtime fan of Michael J. Fox. What is his middle name? — F.J., Mesa, Ariz.

A: Andrew. Screen Actors Guild regulations say that no two members can share a name (for crediting reasons). Since there was already a Michael Fox, he needed to change his name. Fox considered using his given middle initial, but felt it would be awk-ward, so he added J in honor of actor Michael J. Pollard.

Q: I once had a cake that was baked in a shell-shaped mold. As I recall, it was named after a woman. Nei-ther my husband nor I can recall what it was, other than we enjoyed the delicacy. — M.E.S., Stuart, Fla.

A: Sounds as if you enjoyed a madeleine. Although the origin of the name is not known for sure, many say the cake was named after 19th-century French pastry cook Madeleine Paulmier.

Q: A muckraker was a journalist who dug around to expose corruption. When did the term start? — C.T.L., Quakertown, Pa.

A: The term muckrake, refer-ring to a farmer cleaning up after his animals, was used as early as 1685 in “Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyan (1628-1688). Some credit Theodore Roosevelt with applying the moniker to U.S. journalists who were involved in digging in the dirt for a story.

Some good news on the privacy front. For now, the plug has been pulled on the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act, which passed the U.S. House of Repre-

sentatives in April but short-circuited in the Senate at the end of last week.

As described by the Huffington Post, CISPA “would give businesses and the federal government legal protec-tion to share information on cyber threats with each other to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity. The bill comes at a time of increased concern over hacking threats at home and from China.”

Basically, CISPA would have allowed private Internet companies to give the government all your information — emails, tweets, text messages, phone calls, websites you visited, Facebook postings — without a warrant. Doing so seems a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”

The Internet and cellphones didn’t exist when the Bill of Rights was written, of course. But the founders still includ-ed new technologies and unforeseen circumstances under “effects.” The founders wanted to prevent the authorities from spying on people without a warrant, as they had suf-fered under the British before they revolted in 1776.

Last year, the Senate was working on a different, better version of CISPA that included more privacy protections.

But this year’s version from the House clearly was objectionable. We don’t always agree with the American Civil Liberties Union, but they have been strong all along on privacy.

We’re also dismayed that CISPA passed the House of Representatives, 288-127, even though it’s run by Repub-licans, who are supposed to value limited government and personal privacy. We understand the concerns about China, North Korea and other governments hacking into American government and business computer systems. But we believe that legislation can be crafted to deal with threats without shredding the Bill of Rights.

“We are currently drafting a bipartisan information-sharing bill and will proceed as soon as we come to an agreement,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., announced last week. We encourage her to make sure that Americans’ Fourth Amendment privacy rights are respected in the new legislation.

Today is Tuesday, May 7, the 127th day of 2013. There are 238 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 7, 1763, Pontiac, chief of the Ottawa Indians, attempted to lead a sneak attack on British-held Fort Detroit, but was foiled because the British had been tipped off in advance. (The Ottawa Indians and other tribes then launched an all-out war with the British that came to be known as Pon-tiac’s War.)

On this date: In 1789, the first inaugural ball was held in New York in honor of President George Wash-ington and his wife, Martha.

In 1915, nearly 1,200 peo-ple died when a German tor-pedo sank the British liner RMS Lusitania off the Irish coast.

In 1942, U.S. Army Gen. Jonathan Wainwright went on a Manila radio station to announce the Allied sur-render of the Philippines to Japanese forces during World War II.

In 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in

Rheims, France, ending its role in World War II.

In 1954, the 55-day Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Viet-nam ended with Vietnam-ese insurgents overrunning French forces.

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford formally declared an end to the “Vietnam era.” In Ho Chi Minh City — former-ly Saigon — the Viet Cong celebrated its takeover.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Pete Domeni-ci, R-N.M., is 81. Singer Jimmy Ruffin is 74. Actress Robin Strasser is 68. Rock musician Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead) is 67. Coun-try musician Rick Schell is 50. Actress Traci Lords is 45. Singer Eagle-Eye Cherry is 42. Rock musician Matt Helders (Arctic Monkeys) is 27. Actor Taylor Abrahamse is 22.

Thought for Today: “We all live in suspense, from day to day, from hour to hour; in other words, we are the hero of our own story.” — Mary McCarthy, American author (1912-1989).

The impossible might take a little longerSomeone called politics “the art of the pos-

sible.” But, in the era of the modern welfare state, politics is largely the art of the impossible.

Those people morbid enough to keep track of politicians’ promises may remember how Barack Obama said that ObamaCare would lower medi-cal costs — and lots of people bought it.

But if you stop and think, however old-fashioned that may seem these days, do you seriously believe that millions more people can be given medical care and vast new bureaucra-cies created to administer payment for it, with no additional costs?

Just as there is no free lunch, there is no free red tape. Bureaucrats have to eat, just like every-one else, and they need a place to live and some other amenities. How do you suppose the price of medical care can go down when the costs of new government bureaucracies are added to the costs of the medical treatment itself?

By the way, where are the extra doctors going to come from, to treat the millions of additional patients? Training more people to become doc-tors is not free. Politicians may ignore costs but ignoring those costs will not make them go away.

With bureaucratically controlled medical care, you are going to need more doctors, just to treat a given number of patients, because time that is spent filling out government forms is time that is not spent treating patients. And doctors have the same 24 hours in the day as everybody else.

When you add more patients to more paper-work per patient, you are talking about still more costs. How can that lower medical costs? But although that may be impossible, politics is the art of the impossible.

You can just call “medical care for all” a “right” and you are home free with a major part of the public. Those who are more skeptical can be dismissed as people who just are not as compassionate. That puts you on the side of the angels against the forces of evil — and that is a proven winning strategy in politics.

Back during World War II, military construc-tion battalions had the motto, “The difficult done immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.” Today, the impossible may not even take longer.

Indeed, the impossible has become routine in political rhetoric.

Whether in medical issues or other issues, politicians don’t even have to prove that what they advocate is pos-sible, much less probable. For example, those who advocate tighter gun control laws are almost never asked for evi-dence that such laws have in fact reduced gun violence. And almost never do they even attempt to present such evidence.

But the only way that it is possible that such laws will save lives is if they do in fact reduce killings with guns. But who cares what is pos-sible these days? If the intention is good and the means sound plausible, who wants to get bogged down in specifics? Certainly not politicians or most of the media. All you really need is rhetoric that puts you on the side of the angels against the forces of evil.

On the international stage, the ever-popular policy of “disarmament” is in essence domestic gun control writ large. Nuclear disarmament is especially popular. No doubt many people wish that scientists had never discovered how to make such devastating weapons.

But, once the principles on which nucle-ar bombs operate have been discovered, it is impossible to undiscover them.

Even if you destroyed every nuclear bomb in the world, the knowledge of how to make them cannot be destroyed. If you killed every scientist who has this knowledge, such a bloodbath would be futile, because new scientists can discover what the old scientists discovered.

With international disarmament agreements, as with domestic gun control, nothing is easier than disarming peaceful people — thereby leav-ing them more vulnerable to people who are not peaceful, who can simply ignore the restrictions that others obey.

But if verifiable, lasting and universal nuclear disarmament is impossible, who cares, so long as it sounds good? Politics is the art of the impossible.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a healthy young person, but I tend to have a lot of gas, bloating and diarrhea. Could a gluten-free diet help me?

DEAR READER: Gluten-free eating is essential for people with celiac disease, which is an intolerance to the protein gluten. This protein is found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye.

Gluten gives structure and texture to breads, pastas, cereals and baked goods. It is also used as a flavoring, thick-ener and stabilizer in foods such as ice cream, sauces and condiments. So gluten is in a lot of foods.

About 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with celiac disease. In people with this disease, gluten provokes the immune system to attack the lining of the small intestine. It causes gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headache, trou-ble concentrating and fatigue. It also leads to weight loss and malnutrition.

For people with celiac dis-ease, following a strict gluten-free diet is essential. In its most severe form, celiac dis-ease can cause life-threaten-ing diarrhea and dehydration.

Given your symptoms, you should talk to your doc-tor about getting tested for celiac disease. If you have it, you definitely should be on a gluten-free diet.

Even five years ago, I would have said there’s no point in your following a gluten-free diet if you don’t test positive for celiac disease.

Two million Americans fol-low a gluten-free diet — and that’s a lot more than have celiac disease. Many really believe it helps them, and recent studies have found that they may be right.

There now is good evidence for a condition called non-celi-ac gluten sensitivity. It causes gas, bloating and indigestion, but no intestinal damage. The evidence for non-celiac glu-ten sensitivity comes from studies of people who believe

they have gluten sen-sitivity. The people have been chosen at random to eat foods c o n t a i n i n g gluten or not contain-ing gluten — with neither the doctors

nor the subjects in the study knowing what they were eat-ing. Those who thought they had symptoms from gluten really did.

If you don’t have celiac dis-ease but you have symptoms after consuming gluten, try a gluten-free diet for a brief time to see if you feel better. Many foods now are labeled as being gluten-free.

By cutting out gluten-con-taining foods, you may reduce your fiber intake from whole grains.

You may also miss out on vitamins and minerals that you’d normally get from forti-fied foods.

So you might consider con-tacting a registered dietitian. He or she can help you put together a food plan that has adequate fiber and nutrients. A gluten-free diet based on fruits, vegetables, lean pro-teins, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains that do not contain gluten, such as brown rice and quinoa, can be quite healthy.

For many years, I saw patients who said that they were sensitive to gluten-con-taining foods.

When their tests showed no celiac disease, I told them there was no reason for them to avoid such foods. Guess what? They often didn’t follow my advice — and they were right.

WASHINGTON — A survey shows U.S. home prices rose 10.5 percent in March compared with a year ago, the biggest gain since March 2006.

Core Logic, a real estate data provider, said Tuesday that annual home prices have now increased for 13 straight months. Prices are rising in part because more buyers are bidding on a limited supply of homes for sale.

Prices increased in 46 states over the past year — 11 of them posting double-digit gains. And when excluding distressed sales, which include foreclosures and short sales, prices rose in every

state. A short sale is when a home sells for less than what is owed on the mortgage.

Nevada led all states with a 22.2 percent annual gain. It was followed by California (17.2 percent), Arizona (16.8 percent), Idaho (14.5 percent) and Oregon (14.3 percent).

Home prices also rose 1.9 percent in March from Febru-ary, signaling a solid start to the spring buying season. And 88 of the 100 largest cities reported price gains compared with a year earlier, down slightly from 92 in February.

Prices in Phoenix rose 18.8 percent in March from a year earlier, the largest gain of any

city. Los Angeles, Riverside, Calif., Atlanta and Houston post-ed the next largest gains.

Steady job creation and record-low mortgage rates have boosted home sales and con-struction in the past year. More demand, along with a limited supply of homes for sale, has pushed prices higher.

The number of homes for sale fell nearly 17 percent in March compared with a year ago. That supply would be exhausted in about 4.7 months at the current sales pace. That’s below the 6 months of supply that is typical in a healthy market.

Rising home prices can help sustain the housing rebound and lift the economy. More potential homebuyers may seek to pur-chase a house before prices rise further. And homeowners are more likely to put their houses on the market once they expect a good price.

Higher home values also boost Americans’ overall net worth. That can encourage con-sumers to spend more, driving more economic growth. Con-sumer spending accounts for roughly 70 percent of economic activity.

DEAR ABBY: I’m respond-ing to your request for com-ments about the letter from “Happily Single” (Feb. 13) and whether a divorce would be the first course of action upon win-ning the lottery. In a commu-nity-property state, a divorce AFTER winning wouldn’t legal-ly protect you from having to share the spoils with your soon-to-be (and probably now bitter) ex-spouse.

My husband and I have talk-ed at length about what we’d do if either of us won the Pow-erball jackpots, and no, divorce was NOT on the list. We’d start by consulting a lawyer/financial planner to find a way to protect our privacy before claiming the money.

I suspect the comments from “Happily’s” co-workers are evi-

dence that unhappily marrieds group together — or enjoy com-plaining about their spouses. Either way, it’s sad. Studies show that complaining about a spouse significantly decreas-es one’s satisfaction in a rela-tionship. While we all “vent” from time to time, if talking divorce is your first response to a jackpot win, then you’re in the wrong relationship. — IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL

DEAR IN IT: I hit the jack-pot with the huge response I received about that letter. And the majority of readers said they would NOT divorce:

DEAR ABBY: I am a lottery winner, and I feel blessed and proud that I can take care of my wife the way she deserves. Within two minutes of my win I was on the phone with her,

telling her to quit her stressful job. We now have a wonderful life, with more than we ever hoped for. — SATISFIED IN THE SUNSHINE STATE

DEAR ABBY: I’m single, but that letter didn’t surprise me. I think a lot of people feel they must be married by a cer-tain age, so they end up “set-tling.”

Read some of the crazy lottery winner stories posted online, and you’ll see people trade in their spouses because they feel they can do better or “move up,” kind of like buying a bigger, better house. I’m not saying it’s right, but it happens. — CINDY IN ARLINGTON, VA.

DEAR ABBY: If I won the lottery, the first thing I’d do is GET married. We’re waiting so we can afford the nice wedding

we both want. — STEPHANIE IN SAUGUS, CALIF.

DEAR ABBY: The first thing I’d do if I won is pay off all my debts. I’m ALREADY divorced. — DIANA IN TEXAS CITY, TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: I wouldn’t consider getting divorced if I won, but I might finally buy that second husband I’ve been wanting but can’t afford. — TACOMA READER

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married for 40 years. If I won I would not divorce. There’s NO WAY I’d want to give him half the money. I would stay married so I could have con-trol over the money he spent. It would make up for all the

years that he would pinch my pennies and make me squeeze a nickel till the buffalo pooped. — WISHFUL IN OHIO

DEAR ABBY: If I were to win the lottery, I would trade all of it just to have one more hug and one more night talk-ing with my wife, who died 16 years ago.

Our children were young when she died, and I have tried my best to raise them to be good adults. But my heart still aches over losing her to can-cer. I believe all widows and widowers would agree with me on this. — TRENT IN OKLA-HOMA

DEAR ABBY: “When” we win, my husband and I plan on going into a self-made “wit-ness protection program” to hide from the long-lost rela-

tives. But we will absolutely do it TOGETHER. — HOPING IN GEORGIA

CHICAGO — Scott Feldman threw seven scoreless innings against his former team and also hit an RBI single in the Chicago Cubs’ 9-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday night.

Feldman (3-3) allowed two hits, struck out three and walked one, and also hit an RBI single in the fourth for a 2-0 lead. The hit followed an inten-tional walk to Darwin Barney, who was hitless in his previous 17 at-bats.

Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo hit consecutive two-run singles later in the inning.

Feldman has won three straight starts after losing his first three with the Cubs. He signed a $6 million, one-year contract with Chicago during the offseason after going 39-44 with a 4.81 ERA in parts of eight seasons with Texas.

After he threw a 2-0 pitch in the eighth to David Murphy, Feldman left with a cramp in his right hand. Feldman began to feel the cramp during his warmup tosses and tried to get through the inning. But two pitches in, he knew his night was over.

The Rangers’ Nick Tepesch

(2-3) lost his second straight start, allowing six runs — five earned — six hits and four walks in four innings.

Daily news

By HUGHES ELLISHenderson dAily news

Henderson senior pitcher Tiarra Davis issued five walks and a hit a batter during her complete-game performance against Paris North Lamar in Friday’s 9-3 area-round win.

But with Davis having not pitched in more than 17 days, Lady Lions head coach Kristin Lacy was fine with the walk total.

In her first outing since the next-to-last regular season game, Davis allowed three runs — none earned — while giving up two hits, the five walks and a hit batter.

“Walks are of no concern,” Lacy said. “If those walks are a side-effect of giving her rest, then I am fine with that.”

Davis and the Lady Lions meet Mineola (24-7) in a Class 3A Region II quarterfinal best-of-three beginning Friday at Brook Hill in Bullard.

Games 2 and 3 will be played beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday at the same location.

Against North Lamar, Davis walked one in the first inning, but got out of the frame with a strikeout. That would be the first of six straight batters she sat down on strikes.

She walked the first batter of the fourth, but got out of the inning with a pair of fly outs and a groundout.

North Lamar struck for its only three runs in the fifth after a two-out throwing error by the Lady Lions catcher.

Davis then issued a two-out walk in the sixth and gave away two free passes in the seventh.

But none of those runners scored as the senior held North Lamar to 2 for 13 with runners on base.

Since district play began, Davis has thrown 72-1/3 innings and has struck out 147 while allowing four earned runs.

“The rest really helped me,” she said, “because it gave me some extra time after throwing a bunch in the season. I think it helped me be more fresh for the playoffs.”

Quick start: Henderson’s first three batters reached base and scored to give Henderson an early lead in the one-game playoff against Paris North Lamar.

After Tiarra Davis led off the Lady Lions first at-bat with a homer, Karley Free singled and Natalie McQuiston doubled her home.

Kami McCaw followed two batters later with a run-scoring single and came home when Shelby Turner reached on an error.

That gave Henderson a 4-0 lead through the first inning.

“The quick start helped us relax and also built some con-fidence for our kids,” said Lacy.

Added Davis: “We wanted to come out and show what we were made of in our first at-bat.”

Henderson’s first three bat-ters had three hits apiece while McCaw also had three hits.

The Lady Lions had 16 hits as a team with the bottom two hitters, Jennifer Armstrong and Jaci Hurt, combining for three.

Taylor White added the other meaning all but two of Henderson’s batters had at least one hit.

“When everyone contributes it gives us more confidence as a team,” Davis said. “If we can get the bottom to come through, that will help us even more.”

Run scorers: Mineola is accustomed to scoring runs as the Lady Jackets have out-scored their first two playoff opponents a combined 55-7.

Ali Galaz had two doubles and a triple in Mineola’s 10-3 win over Crandall in the second game of the teams’ area-round series.

Mineola, which reached the state semifinals as a Class 2A team in 2012, was ranked for most of the season.

“We know Mineola can swing the bats well,” Lacy said. “That’s definitely something we need to prepare for. That’s going to be part of our focus.”

HHS grad Jenkinsearns first shutoutas a professional

From dAily news stAFF, wire services

PEORIA, Ill. — Henderson graduate, and Peoria Chiefs pitcher, Tyrell Jenkins tossed his first professional complete game Sunday in a 1-0 shutout of the Fort Wayne TinCaps.

Jenkins allowed three sin-gles in the game, including two among the first three batters.

But he got out of the inning unharmed, and then retired 21 of the next 22 batters he faced.

The former Lion walked the leadoff batter in the third, but got out of the inning with a strikeout and two groundouts.

He then allowed a single in the ninth before retiring the side and picking up his first win of the season.

Jenkins’ complete-game

shutout was the first for the Chiefs since Austin Kirk did the same in 2011. It was the third such effort in stadium history.

Jenkins had been 0-2 with a plus-seven earned run aver-age prior to Sunday’s outing. The 2010 HHS graduate is in his fourth year in professional baseball.

Jenkins named MWL’s top pitcher

The Peoria Chiefs and the Midwest League have announced that Jenkins was named Midwest League Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 29 - May 5. He is the first Chiefs pitcher to win the honor since the return to the St. Louis Cardinals organization.

Jenkins entered the 2013 season ranked by Baseball America as the Cardinals No. 8 prospect.

The performance was just the third nine-inning complete game shutout by a Chiefs starter in stadium history.

ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN — A store of ammo-

nium nitrate is what exploded April 17 at a Central Texas plant, killing 14 people, injuring hun-dreds and devastating an adjoin-ing town.

The finding was expected, and officials had said they were focus-ing their investigation on the explosive chemical used in many fertilizers, said Rachel Moreno, spokeswoman for the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office. A spot where the ammonium nitrate was stored is now a 90-foot-wide crater, Moreno said Monday.

However, the ignition source for the explosive chemical remained undetermined Mon-day. Findings on the cause of the blast on the outskirts of the small town of West initially had been expected Friday. However, the investigation will take one to two extra weeks to complete, with

dozens of investigators combing through plant wreckage and the adjoining wrecked neighbor-hood, Moreno said.

Also, federal emergency offi-cials have begun offering shelter for West residents whose homes were destroyed or severely dam-aged. About 70 homes were dam-aged or destroyed. A statement from the Federal Emergency Management Administration said the transitional shelter-

ing assistance was requested by Texas state officials. It would allow those whose homes were left uninhabitable by the blast to stay for a limited time in a hotel or motel at government expense. Meals, telephone calls and other incidental charges are not cov-ered, and applicants are respon-sible for any lodging costs above the authorized lodging costs, according to the statement.

Sam Nolen Boles was born June 25, 1930, in the Con-cord Community in Rusk County to the late Glen Nolen (Jack) Boles and Letha Mae McCrary Boles. He graduated from Mount Enterprise High School, attended Abilene Chris-tian University, and went on to achieve his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Sam Houston State University. Sam met and married Ada Easley of Huntsville and had two chil-dren, Glenna and Buddy. He then graduated with a Master’s degree of Science and a Smith Hughes degree.

S a m worked for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for several years in Hunts-ville for the prison system as Assistant

Warden. He was skilled in many venues. For instance, he was called to Huntsville’s prison system to oversee cattle farms. At the death of his father, Sam returned to Mount Enterprise to take care of the family busi-ness. He was a rancher taking care of his land and cattle, land-man, timber specialist, and was part of B&M Gas/Oil Compa-ny. He also taught Biology and Chemistry at Mount Enterprise High School and later served as the school principal.

Sam enjoyed his kin’s chil-dren, now up to the third gen-eration. All nieces, nephews, and others would climb into the back of the truck and throw pellets to cows. Those loving and precious days will never be forgotten.

The sorrow of Sam’s life was

the loss of his daughter, Glenna.Survivors include: wife of 19

years who he married on March 26, 1994, Katherine Boles of Mount Enterprise; son, Sammy (Buddy) Boles and wife Pam of the Chapman Community; sis-ters, Billie Lou (Anderson) Her-rington and Betty Jean Boles Freeman; mother of his chil-dren, Ada Boles; step-children, Kay Martin, Jerrel W. Drum-mond, and Jeff A. Drummond, all of Houston; and a host of grandchildren and great-grand-children.

Pallbearers will be Randy Creel, Jr. Love, Cliff Weems, Bubba Risinger, Roger Grounds, and Gary Tinsley. Honorary pallbearers will be Lee Starling, Joe Langston, Robert Walthall, Mark “Bones” Brooks, and Eddie Brooks.

As the weakly protected U.S. diplomatic compound in eastern Libya came under attack the night of Sept. 11, 2012, the deputy head of the embassy in Tripoli 600 miles away sought in vain to get the Pentagon to scramble fighter jets over Benghazi in a show of force that he said might have averted a second attack on a nearby CIA complex.

Hours later, according to excerpts of the account by the U.S. diplomat, Gregory Hicks, American officials in the Lib-yan capital sought permission to deploy four U.S. Special Operations troops to Beng-hazi aboard a Libyan military aircraft early the next morn-ing. The troops were told to stand down.

Defense Department officials have said they had no units that could have responded in time to counter the attack in Benghazi, but Republicans on Capitol Hill have questioned whether the Obama administration could have saved lives with a nim-bler, more assertive response. They say that the reluctance to send the Special Opera-tions troops may have, at the very least, deprived wounded Americans in Benghazi of first aid.

Congressional investiga-tors released a partial tran-script of Hicks’s testimony Monday ahead of a hear-ing Wednesday at which he is scheduled to appear. His remarks are the first public account from a U.S. official who was in Libya at the time of the attacks about the options that were weighed as mili-tants mobbed the American diplomatic outpost and CIA station in Ben ghazi, killing U.S. Ambassador J. Christo-

pher Stevens and three other government employees.

The new details are cer-tain to reignite a debate over whether the Obama admin-istration has been sufficient-ly forthcoming in its public accounting of the events and missteps that resulted in the first death of a U.S. ambas-sador in the line of duty in a generation. If Republicans in Congress succeed in por-traying the administration’s response as feckless, the epi-sode could dog any future political aspirations of Hill-ary Rodham Clinton, who was secretary of state when the attacks happened.

After the attacks ended without planes being scram-bled or special forces dis-patched, the lieutenant colo-nel in Tripoli who commanded the Special Operations team told Hicks he was sorry that his men had been held back.

“I’ve never been so embar-rassed in my life that a State Department officer has bigger balls than someone in the mil-itary,” the officer told Hicks, according to the diplomat’s account. Hicks called that “a nice compliment.”

Hicks may have been the last American official to speak with Stevens. After an embas-sy security official ran into his residence to tell him about the initial attack, Hicks managed to get Stevens on the phone. “Greg, we’re under attack,” Stevens blurted out, accord-ing to Hicks. “My response is ‘Okay,’ and I’m about to say something else and the line clicks.”

The administration has said the independent review of the Benghazi assault was exhaustive, and State Depart-ment officials have vowed to implement reforms to make U.S. missions abroad safer.

Warden Michael Bell said all visitors are checked at the door when coming to the facil-ity.

“The staff did an outstand-ing job in handling the situ-ation and identifying and finding the contraband and

keeping it from entering the facility,” Bell said of Sunday’s situation.

The police reports state two small baggies of suspected marijuana, crystal meth and a glass pipe were seized as evi-dence.

Charges pending for the

suspect include third degree felony prohibited substance in a correctional facility, third degree felony possession of a controlled substance, Pen-alty Group 1, greater than or equal to 1 gram but less than 4 grams, Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana, less

than 2 ounces, and Class C possession misdemeanor pos-session of drug paraphernalia.

Under Texas law, third degree felony possession of a controlled substance in a cor-rectional facility is punishable by 2-10 years in a state facility and a fine up to $10,000.

All six of the pipeline requests deal with work in Pct. 2, and Commissioner Mike Pepper made the motion for each of them to be approved.

The requests approved include the fol-lowing:

• Easton Gas System to place 2-inch gas line and gas meter under/across the right of way of County Road 2191 in Pre-cinct 2;

• Enbridge G&P (East Texas) LP to place a 8-inch natural gas pipeline under/across the right of way of County Road 2210 in Pct. 2;

• Enbridge G&P (East Texas) LP to place a 8-inch natural gas pipeline under/across the right of way of County Road 2214 in Pct. 2;

• Enbridge G&P (East Texas) LP to place a 8-inch natural gas pipeline under/across the right of way of County Road 2216 in Pct. 2;

• Enbridge G&P (East Texas) LP to place a 8-inch natural gas pipeline under/across the right of way of County Road 2217 in Pct. 2; and

• Enbridge G&P (East Texas) LP to place a 8-inch natural gas pipeline under/across the right of way of County Road

2198 in Pct. 2.The one water request came from

Memorial Resource Development to place a water transfer line along or within the right of way of County Road 462 in Pct. 4. Pct. 4 Commissioner Harold Howell made the motion to approve this request, and it was unanimously approved.

Commissioners approved a mainte-nance agreement with NETData for full update and view only-law enforcement for the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office.

There was little discussion on this item and it was unanimously approved by the court.

the patience the people of Henderson have shown dur-ing this process.”

In previous interviews with the Henderson Daily News, Henderson City Man-ager Mike Barrow said he’s happy about the coordinating

partnership with TxDOT and AEP-Southwestern Electric Power Co. (SWEPCO), which worked with the city’s plans to pull out old poles and street lights in late November.

“We’re real proud to work with TxDOT and SWEPCO on this project to benefit our

downtown area,” Barrow pre-viously said . “They’ve worked really well with us.”

According to the TxDOT press release, maintenance crews are also scheduled to continue edge work on U.S. Highway 259 between the south end of the Kilgore

Bypass and Farm-to-Market Road 850.

Daytime lane closures will be in effect while the work is in progress, the release states.

Motorists are encouraged to be prepared to reduce speed and merge in and around the work zones, it states.

Saturday will see polls open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. for any who have missed early voting.

On election day Overton Community Center, Box 1, will be the voting place for pre-cincts 112, 113 and 114.

Stewart, Box 2, will be the voting site for Precincts 213 and 215.

N.E. Henderson, Box 3, will be the voting place for pre-cincts 111, 212 and 214.

Rusk County Elections Office, Box 4, will be the vot-ing site for people in precincts 201, 302, 303, 404 and 405.

Minden, Box 5, will be the voting site for precincts 314, 315, 316, 317, 318 and 319.

Rusk County Expo, Box 6, will be the voting place for precincts 416 and 417.

Precinct 4 County Barn, Box 7, is the place where peo-ple in precinct 418 will cast ballots.

because the executive committee had a meeting with their insurance represen-tative and received some instruction and advice on meeting setup, room setup and other compliance issues the insurance company felt would make the chamber a stronger and more cohesive organiza-tion.

“We received some good instruction from our insurance person,” she said. “She gave us some good advice that, going forward, will assist us in being more efficient and a better organization.”

One of the changes involved having nameplates for all board members sit-ting at the table. Other visitors were set up in chairs adjacent to that table.

As far as the meeting is concerned, the chamber said the banquet was a suc-cess but could not detail final financial figures yet because of some outstanding bills and collections.

But, Barber said, the event had $3,500 brought in before expenses and, after all was said and done, could possibly match the nearly $5,000 that was brought in last year.

Posey did say the silent auction brought in $894 and “was very success-ful once again.”

The Bluegrass Festival in Overton is scheduled for June 7 and 8, and the chamber will once again be taking an active role in supporting the event.

Posey and the board voted to sell pop-corn and lemonade at their booth during the festival, and they will ask to sell glow products once again.

If allowed, they will purchase $150 worth of products for Bluegrass. If they are not allowed to sell them then, they will sell them during the Independence Day celebration.

The chamber will also raffle a wooden bench that was donated to them by an employee of J.W. Green, Danny Yoder of Lonestar Wagon Works. They voted to sell raffle tickets for $5 each or six for $25.

The chamber board did not finalize plans for the Independence Day celebra-tion because they need to talk to Mary Leigh Dike, the chairman from last year, and see what was involved in being chairperson, what the chamber sold or did and what planning and timing is involved.

Board members wrote down official criteria for Business of the Month, gear-ing that competition more toward beau-tification and renovation rather than other facets.

The Business of the Month for June will be Speed Pro Supply, while Insur-ance One will be honored in July and Starmakers will be chosen for August.

Finally, the panel elected the schol-arship committee for this year. The chamber gives a scholarship to students

from Overton, New London and Lev-erett’s Chapel based on earnings from the annual golf tournament. This year’s committee will include Jan Stalcup, Bar-ber and Ilene Merchant.

The chamber will be starting an Ambassadors and Golden Treasures group. This was approved by the board after executive committee members vis-ited the Henderson Area Chamber’s Mid-Morning Coffee Break and discussed the issue with officials there. Also, they have had contact with the Kilgore Chamber of Commerce as well.

The Ambassadors will be people who are still working, while Golden Treasures will be made up of retired individuals. These people will assist in promoting the chamber, signing up new business mem-bers, retaining past business members, assisting in ribbon cuttings and other chamber activities and, generally, aiding the board in any chamber functions.

Tom and Phyllis Starnes will be lead-ing this group, Barber said, and the setup will begin immediately so that, hopefully, the chamber can have a mixer toward the end of May or the first of June.

The next meeting of the chamber will be 5:30 p.m. on June 3 in the chamber office.

career-training endorsement.The additional graduation

requirements in the Senate version failed to win over some critics who say Texas is backing off its commitment to high standards.

“We already graduate only 25 percent of students who are career- or college-ready. I don’t understand why many of our lawmakers are dead set on running away from strong requirements meant to increase that number and put in place standards that will do just the opposite,” said Bill Hammond, presi-dent of the Texas Association of Business.

The lopsided vote masked

the difficulty in getting the bill to floor for a vote.

The bill has been languish-ing in the Senate since late March, when it cleared the House on a near-unanimous vote.

Patrick had signaled that he wanted to pass legislation early enough to reduce the end-of-course requirements for students this spring but many of those exams are being administered this week.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he held up the legislation waiting for House progress on a Senate bill that opens the door for more charter schools.

In the meantime, Dewhurst

pressed for the inclusion of more tests, a priority for some business leaders.

The compromise that freed up the measure gives school districts the option of admin-istering end-of-course exams in Algebra 2 and English 3.

The exams will be used to measure whether students are prepared for college and will not be required for graduation, nor used to rate schools or teachers.

Amid the lengthy floor debate, Patrick said he was having second thoughts about their agreement.

Patrick said he was con-cerned they were creating the “de facto addition of two tests.”

“I could see every school district in the state doing it because there is no harm-no foul to them,” he said.

State Sen. Tommy Wil-liams, R-The Woodlands, who was carrying the Dewhurst-backed amendment, said he was “shocked beyond all belief that you would reach such a conclusion at this point in the debate.”

“I’m sorry you’re shocked,” Patrick said.

“I do have a right to think and think through an issue.”

Oregon soldier among five killed in Afghanistan

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The family of a Bend soldier who was among five Fort Bliss troops killed by a roadside bomb last weekend says he had recently reenlisted because he didn’t want to leave his unit.

Spc. Brandon Joseph Prescott died Saturday with four others when an improvised explosive device struck their vehicle in the Maiwand dis-trict of Afghanistan’s Kandahar province.

Prescott’s twin brother Aaron tells The Ore-gonian the 24-year-old was due to return home in September, but had already signed up for another three years in the Army.

Prescott grew up in Dana Point, Calif., and graduated from Dana Hills High School in 2006. Two years later, their mother, Tracey Prescott, moved the brothers to Bend, where he took classes at Central Oregon Community College. Their father, Joseph Prescott, lives in Montgom-ery, Texas.

Man accused of shooting officer fights Iowa return

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a man arrested in Texas in connection with the shooting of an Iowa police officer is fighting extradition back to the state.

The Sioux City Journal reports 21-year-old Jamal Dean has indicated to authorities that he intends to fight extradition. He is in a maximum security section of the Kleberg County Jail in Kingsville, Texas.

Kleberg County Sheriff’s Capt. Albert Castillo says Dean must enter a formal decision during a court hearing. Texas Gov. Rick Perry could be asked to authorize Dean’s removal from the state.

Dean was arrested Saturday after a hunt involving local, state and federal authorities. He is accused of shooting a rifle at Sioux City Officer Kevin McCormick during a traffic stop on April 29. McCormick is expected to make a full recovery.

KC pipeline company merging with Texas firm

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City-based pipeline operator has agreed to a $7 bil-lion merger with an affiliated company.

The Kansas City Star reports that Inergy L.P. agreed Monday to the merger with Houston-based Crestwood Midstream Partners L.P.

The buyout involves a series of cash-and-stock transactions and will result in Crestwood Holding, which is affiliated with Inergy, taking over Inergy and a related company, Inergy Mid-stream L.P.

Crestwood Midstream is controlled by the private equity firm First Reserve, which owns all of Crestwood Holdings and about 43 percent of Crestwood Midstream.

A statement from both companies said the transaction requires shareholder and regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the third quarter this year.

Search for burial spot for suspected bomber stalls

BOSTON (AP) — Despite more than 100 offers, a Massachusetts funeral director is strik-ing out in his search for a burial location for the body of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect who was killed in a gun battle with police.

On Monday, Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan said he’d received 120 burial offers from the United States and Canada for the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. But he said when he talked to officials in the cities and towns where the graves are located, nobody wanted the body there.

Tsarnaev’s mother said she wants her son’s remains returned to Russia. Stefan, however, said he doesn’t think Russia will take Tsarnaev’s body. He said he made calls to Russia, but that it was hard to get anyone to respond. He said he is working on other arrangements, but declined to be more specific.

Thirteen get federal prison in Central Texas heroin ring

AUSTIN (AP) — More than a dozen members of a Central Texas-based heroin distribution ring have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 30 years to 12 months.

Prosecutors in Austin on Monday announced the sentences including a 30-year term for 69-year-old Jose Pardo.

The Austin man was convicted in February of heroin distribution.

Evidence indicated the defendants conspired from May 2011 until their arrests last June to distribute heroin. Police say heroin was pro-cessed at the Pardo family-owned Austin restau-rant called Jovita’s.

Prosecutors say Pardo and 12 other defen-dants were sentenced Friday after earlier plead-ing guilty to drug conspiracy-related counts.

His brother, restaurant owner Amado Pardo, died of cancer prior to trial. Prosecutors allege Amado Pardo led the heroin trafficking ring.

Waco police rescue family from house fire

WACO (AP) — Police who forced their way into a burning Central Texas home have rescued two children trying to hide from the flames and their sleeping parents.

Waco police say the children — ages 7 and 9 — were hiding under blankets in their smoke-filled room when officers arrived early Tuesday.

Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says officers came upon a vacant house on fire and that flames had spread to a neighboring home.

Swanton says officers called Waco firefighters while breaking through a locked fence and into the second house after not being able to wake up the occupants.

Police then safely removed the youngsters and the parents.

Authorities are trying to determine what sparked the original fire that damaged both houses.

Names of the family haven’t been released.

Texas Tech creates new wind institute

LUBBOCK (AP) — Texas Tech University has created an institute that combines research and education in wind science, engineering and energy.

A school statement says the creation of the National Wind Institute combines Tech’s former Wind Science and Engineering research center and the Texas Wind Energy Institute into one entity.

The school says its wind research dates back to 1970, when the May 11 Lubbock tornado killed 26 people and destroyed large sections of the city.

After that, faculty from the Tech civil engi-neering department and atmospheric sciences group started thinking about what could be done to minimize the effects from severe weather events, including tornadoes and hurricanes.

The school has expanded into the wind ener-gy sector in the past 15 years as well.

Employees of South Texas city OK to have guns

ARANSAS PASS (AP) — Employees of a South Texas city who have concealed handgun permits will be allowed to take their weapons to work starting Aug. 1.

The Aransas Pass City Council on Monday night amended a ban on weapons for city work-ers to allow for increased personal protection. Employees in the city of 8,200 would also have to apply to the city for permission to have a gun at work.

The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports workers raised concerns after a March police active shooter drill. Chief Eric Blanchard says officers determined city employees at the front desk would have little chance to escape.

Outfitting Aransas Pass City Hall with metal detectors and other security equipment would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Aransas Pass is 20 miles northeast of Corpus Christi.

Three missing women found in Ohio

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — Three women who went missing sepa-rately about a decade ago were found Monday in a home just south of downtown and likely had been tied up during years of captivity, said police, who arrested three brothers. One of the women said she had been abducted and told a 911 dis-patcher in a frantic call, “I’m free now.”

Crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where the city’s police chief said he thought Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had been held since they went missing when they were in their teens or early 20s.

The women appeared to be in good health and were taken to a hospital to be evaluated and to reunite with relatives.

Police said a 6-year-old also was found in the home, but the child’s identity or relationship to anyone in the home wasn’t revealed.

Neighbors said they heard someone kicking at a door, yell-ing for help and trying desper-ately to get outside the house.

A neighbor, Charles Ramsey, told WEWS-TV he saw Berry, whom he didn’t recognize, at a door that would open only enough to fit a hand through.

“I heard screaming,” he said. “I’m eating my McDonald’s. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house.”

Anna Tejeda, who lives across the street, said Berry was nervous, crying and appeared dressed in pajamas and old sandals after she kicked out the screen in a door to escape and call police. Tejeda speaks Span-ish, and a friend translated her comments to The Associated Press.

On a recorded 9-1-1 call Mon-

day, Berry declared, “I’m Aman-da Berry. I’ve been on the news for the last 10 years.”

She said she had been taken by someone and begged for police officers to arrive at the home on Cleveland’s west side before he returned.

“I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years,” she told the dispatcher. “And I’m here. I’m free now.”

Berry disappeared at age 16 on April 21, 2003, when she called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King. DeJesus went missing at age 14 on her way home from school about a year later. They were found just a few miles from where they had gone missing.

Police said Knight went miss-ing in 2002 and is 32 now. They didn’t provide current ages for Berry or DeJesus.

Police said one of the broth-ers, a 52-year-old, lived at the home, and the others, ages 50 and 54, lived elsewhere.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

DHAKA, Bangladesh — Hundreds of survivors of last month’s collapse of a build-ing housing garment factories in Bangladesh protested for

compensation Tuesday, as the death toll from the country’s worst-ever industrial disaster passed 700.

The police control room overseeing the recovery opera-tion said the death toll stood at

705 on Tuesday afternoon as workers pulled more bodies out of the wreckage of the eight-story building that was packed with workers at five garment factories when it collapsed on April 24. The factories were making clothing bound for major retailers around the world.

The disaster is the worst ever in the garment sector, surpass-ing the 1911 garment disaster in New York’s Triangle Shirtwaist factory, which killed 146 work-ers, and more recent tragedies such as a 2012 fire that killed about 260 people in Pakistan and one in Bangladesh that killed 112, also in 2012. It is also one of the deadliest indus-trial accidents ever.

No one knows what the final toll will be, as the exact number of people inside Rana Plaza at the time of the collapse was unknown. More than 2,500 people were rescued alive.

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY NEWS KILGORE — The Kilgore

College Electric Power Tech-nology program will host a Lineman’s Rodeo May 10 to showcase graduates of the ninth class to complete the Marketable Skills Certificate.

The lineman rodeo and graduation is set for 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Rusk County Electric Cooperative training grounds in Henderson, locat-ed at 3162 Texas Highway 43 East.

The Spring 2013 rodeo and graduation will be held in memory of Danny Belcher of Kaufman, who was a founding member of the KC Electric Power Certificate Advisory Committee and an integral instructor during each of the nine classes beginning in 2008.

The event is free and open to the public.

Ten students have com-pleted the 10-week course of study that began March 4 at the KC-Henderson campus.

The rodeo will serve as a demonstration of lineworkers’ skills learned during the KC course of study.

During the Lineman’s Rodeo graduates will dem-onstrate pole climbing, and while at the top of the cross-arm will complete hurt man

rescue and insulator changing exercises.

At graduation, students will receive their KC Electric Power Technology Market-able Skills Certificate. Recog-nitions for other achievements during the course of study will be presented. The Danny Belcher Walking the Wood recognition will be awarded to the most improved pole climber.

Other awards are Out-standing Student, based on class grades and field compe-tencies, and Most Supportive Teammate, selected by class vote.

Anyone interested in learn-ing about a career in the elec-tric power technology field is encouraged to attend.

The Electric Power Tech-nology Certificate pro-gram has attracted students from three states and from throughout Texas.

Fall lineman courses will run from Sept. 9 through Nov. 15 of 2013.

Potential students will be able to meet instructors and ask questions at information sessions set for 6:30 p.m. on June 6 and July 11 in the Bert E. Woodruff Adult Education Center in Kilgore.

For more information, visit the program’s website: <www.kilgore.edu/electric_power_technology.asp>.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — As the wildfire season ramps up across the West, the U.S. Forest Service is adding bigger, faster planes to its fleet to fight the fires.

The forest service announced Monday that it has selected contractors to provide seven air tankers that fly faster and drop a larger payload of fire retardant than other planes in its firefight-ing fleet.

The agency will spend near-ly $160 million over five years for access to several models of aircraft, including a converted DC-10 jumbo jet, which can carry about five times as much flame-resistant liquid as any aircraft in regular use. The cost is about double the amount spent in past years, but the planes are expect-ed to provide better service, said forest service fire and aviation director Tom Harbour. They also require less maintenance.

Each of the planes can carry more than 3,000 gallons of slurry and fly faster than 350 mph, the Forest Service says.

The DC-10 can hold as much as 11,600 gallons.

The newer planes are set to join the aging fleet of eight large tankers, mostly Korean War-era submarine chasers, known as P2Vs, which can fly about 165 mph and hold about 2,000 gal-lons of fire retardant. Several such planes have been involved in fatal crashes recently, reduc-ing the size of the fleet.

Just when the new tankers would start fighting wildfires is not clear. Unsuccessful bidders have a chance to file protests challenging the choices, and var-ious factors will determine how long that takes, the Forest Ser-vice said.

Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said in a statement it is “critical” to complete the effort “as quickly as possible as we face the prospect of another challeng-ing wildfire season with a dwin-dling legacy air tanker fleet.”

Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., urged bidders not to delay the process by filing protests, which prevented the Forest Service from adding new planes last fire season.

Last week, the first 2013 fire season outlook from the Nation-al Interagency Fire Center said a dry winter and a warm spring put the wildfire potential above normal across the West.
