As a kid ice cream was a very intricate part of our summer My sisters and I would earn and save our money so that when
the ice cream truck came rolling up our block we would have plenty of cash - 25 cents per soft serve coneThe ice cream man who wore a baby blue jump-
suit and a golf cap would drive a big white truck that contained an oversized soft-serve ice cream maker that provided a choice of vanilla choco-late or a swirl in a coneAs we heard the music from his truck in the dis-
tance my sisters and I would go crazy gathering our change and we would send whoever had their chanclas on fi rst to wave him down
We would greet him with songs and chants that we would make up as well as the STOP If we had extra change we would buy penny gum balls that we would place on the top of our ice cream cone After awhile the Ice Cream Man whose name we never knew would just giveem to us because we were regulars I can still remember my sisters faces as we smiled and celebrated the summer as well as how quick the ice cream would meltOn Friday nights after our dad got off work my mom would urge us to
be ready so that we could go out for our traditional family night First wed head over to Bills Burgers in East Lubbock - this was my dads favorite burger place then we would drive over to Bell Dairy on N University for a scoop of ice cream Each of my sisters and I would pick our favorite fl avor and then go sit in
the wooden desk lined against the wall I always picked black cherry ice cream because it was my dads favorite and my mom would never fi nish hers so she would give it to one of us usually my dad beat us out because we were so stuffed Then it was off to the park to play until we couldnt play anymoreAnd if money was low my mom taught us how to make Kool-Aid pops or
to freeze juice even pickle juice to have our cool summer treats We were always effi cient and got more creative as the summer progressed Some-times we would go pick my grandfather Martinezs fruit add water and sugar and freeze it We would share our treat when friends and cousins came over My grandfather always knew something was up when cherries much like the ones from his tree were frozen in waterAs we approach the Fourth of July I refl ect on the family times we had be-
ing with all my cousins aunts and uncles It made me proud to be together and it brought me such contentment We were (are) an All-American fa-milia and were proud of our country - the USAs independenceAnd as we embark upon our nations Day of Independence I take pride
fl ying my American fl ag fully knowing and recognizing the contributions of many young Latino soldiers who have and are helping to keep America free It is shameful that yet again another generation of Latinos must fi ght a fi ght that is regressive for our nation One way to make an impact is to become a registered voter and then an active voter Many groups are now registering voters and we hope that you will gear up for the next election season which is around the cornerAlso please pray for our Troops and our country as many changes are
occurring And thank these men and women for their service and commit-mentA special thanks to Toni Castillo and the Catholic Daughters of America
who honored us with a beautiful award We thank and admire youThis month we will be bringing women together to learn to play golf and
more importantly to become aware about breast cancer and heart disease two leading issue impacting women Please make plans to join us August 18 2012 for our 4th Annual Vamos a

Todayrsquos Supreme Court ruling largely
struck down a law we have always recognized as an extremist attempt to undermine our core values and our Consti-tution The courtrsquos de-cision reaffirmed that SB 1070 and its many imitators are not an ac-ceptable substitute for a federal immigration standardThe rationale for states
to invent their own laws as they see fit has been wiped away Now itrsquos time for Congress to listen to what the Court said in its ruling Itrsquos our job to fix this No one else has the authority and no one else has the responsibility Anyone who wants to keep the system broken
and wait for states to make things uglier one at a time lost a big battle todayUnfortunately the Court
made a grave error in up-holding the discriminatory lsquoshow me your papersrsquo pro-vision that violates basic rights and denies equal justice This is the most poisonous part of the law and its legality will rightly be challenged on equal protection grounds in the courts This is not the end of our efforts to uphold
equal and legal treatment for the American peopleDespite the statersquos 30 percent La-
tino population Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has made a ca-reer of widespread racial profiling and discrimination If his recent
statements are any indication he is unrepentant Thatrsquos why it was so significant today that the Depart-ment of Homeland Security an-nounced it has terminated its 287(g) lsquotask forcersquo agreements with Ari-zonarsquos law enforcement agencies DHS officials have been directed not to respond to law enforcement activity unless the suspect meets federal enforcement priority guide-lines such as already being a con-victed criminal or having reentered the country after a lawful removal These steps mean that Arizonans will be protected from discrimina-tory or targeted enforcement actions by Arpaio and any other law en-forcement agent tempted to ignore federal guidelinesThis is in keeping with frequent re-
quests by Members of Congress and civil rights organizations concerned
about the long history of civil rights violations in parts of Arizona The federal government has made the right decision and deserves our thanks Now Congress must find a responsible solution to immigration reform that promotes respect for the law keeps law enforcement focused on criminal behavior and benefits all Americans Opponents of bipar-tisan reform have truly run out of excuses The rest of us stand ready to finish the job
Rep Rauacutel M Grijalva has represented Arizonarsquos Seventh Congressional District since 2003 He co-chairs the Congressio-nal Progressive Caucus and is an active member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus He currently heads the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Na-tional Parks Forests and Public Lands and has spent more than 30 years in pub-lic service

Texas Dem-ocrats try-

chairman last month during their state conventionIn a reflection of the statersquos bur-

TX Democrats Elect Their First Hispanic Chairman
The United States Supreme Court held that some of the
most damaging provisions for im-migrants currently without status in the US did violate the US Consti-tution The Supreme Court held that states do not have the authority to establish and regulate state enforce-ment regarding the treatment of the immigrant communityldquoWe are thrilled with todayrsquos deci-
sion and declare it a major victory for the immigrant communityrdquo said LULAC National President Marga-ret Moran ldquoWe remain committed to continue to fight for the rights of the immigrants in this countryrdquoSpecific concern is the portion of
the Supreme Court ruling that per-mits law enforcement in Arizona to check the immigration status of individuals while enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion ex-ists that the person is in the United States illegally Presently LULAC and MALDEF have cases pending in federal district court that focus on racial profiling We believe that this is the remaining key element subject to abuse by law enforcement and we will continue to fight for fair enforcement of the laws It is also important to remember that during oral arguments the Supreme Court acknowledged the need for compre-hensive immigration reform and we
Supreme Court upholds ldquopapers pleaserdquo Arizona law but strikes down other provisions
hope this decision helps spur Con-gress to meet this need by passing a much needed legislation The League of United Latin Amer-
ican Citizens (LULAC) is the na-tionrsquos largest and oldest civil rights volunteer-based organization that empowers Hispanic Americans and builds strong Latino communities Headquartered in Washington DC with 900 councils around the United States and Puerto Rico LULACrsquos programs services and advocacy address the most important issues for Latinos meeting critical needs of today and the future For more information visit wwwlulacorg
The fight over health care re-
form moved to the US Supreme Court where attorneys are arguing the consti-tutionality of the Af-fordable Care Act President Obamas signature health initia-tive The high court could uphold the
entire law strike down its central requirement that most Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty let stand or quash a major expansion of Medicaid mdash or punt a final decision on all these issues into 2015 The court will consider four mat-
ters 1 Is the mandate penalty a tax Last month the court considered whether the penalty imposed on
people who dont buy insurance is a tax A 19th-century law pro-hibits legal challenges to a tax before it takes effect If the justices decide the penalty is a tax they could throw out challenges to the health law until
a taxpayer actually pays a penalty for failing to buy insurance which could be at least three years2 Does the US Constitution em-
power Congress to enact the man-date Last month the court turned to the central issue of whether Con-gress overstepped its authority in requiring people to buy insurance mdash as 26 states have asserted 3 Does the fate of the entire law
hang in the balance Last month the court considered whether other
sections of the law fall if any part of it is invalidated The Obama ad-ministration argued that if the court strikes down one provision of the law it should let most of the law stand 4 Can the federal government
force the states to expand access to Medicaid Also last month the justices took up a feature of the law intended to expand access to Med-icaid the health care program for low-income people that pays for most nursing home care Opponents contend that the expansion is coer-cive to the states which share costs with the federal government But Jane Perkins the legal director of the National Health Law Program in Carrboro NC argues that the expansion ldquofits neatly within the Medicaid framework that Congress established back in 1965rdquo

The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Presi-
dent Obamarsquos healthcare law June 28th ruling the government may impose tax penalties on persons who do not have health insuranceThe courtrsquos long-awaited ruling
rejected a broad legal attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by Republican state officials and the National Fed-eration of Independent BusinessThe legal challenge focused on
the lawrsquos so-called mandate that all must have insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penaltyThe administration defended
this requirement under Congressrsquo power to regulate interstate com-merce The challengers insisted the mandate was unprecedented and unconstitutional because the fed-eral government would be forcing Americans to buy a private prod-
uctThe ruling was not a total victory
for the Obama administrationChief Justice John G Roberts Jr
who wrote the opinion for a 5-4 majority said the required expan-sion of Medicaid violates statesrsquo rights and may be unconstitutionalldquoThe states are given no choice in
this case They must either accept a basic change in the nature of Med-icaid or risk losing all Medicaid fundingrdquo he wroteHe said the federal government
cannot require the states to follow this part of the lawRoberts opinion was joined by
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg Ste-phen Breyer Sonia Sotomayor and Elena KaganJustice Anthony Kennedy deliv-

Up to 14 million children and young adults who are in the
United States illegally could poten-tially benefit from todays announce-ment by the Obama Administration about changes in deportation poli-cies according to an estimate from the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Center The 14 million estimate includes
700000 unauthorized immigrants who are ages 18 to 30 but arrived in the US as children and are currently enrolled in school or have graduated from high school and an additional 700000 who are under the age of 18 and are enrolled in school This includes 150000 who are currently
enrolled in high school Overall the 14 million estimate
represents about 12 of the 112 million unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2010 according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Cen-ter Among the 14 million poten-tial beneficiaries of the new policy some 70 are from Mexico For de-tails on the numbers and character-istics of unauthorized immigrants in the US see the Pew Hispanic Center report Unauthorized Immi-grant Population National and State Trends 2010 A Pew Hispanic Center survey
taken late last year found that by a margin of 59 to 27 Latinos op-pose the deportation policies of the Obama Administration Among Latinos some 41 are aware that the number of deportations of un-authorized immigrants annually has been higher during the Obama Ad-ministration than during the George W Bush Administration while 36 say the two Administrations have

deported the same number of unau-thorized immigrants and 10 say fewer have been deported under the Obama administrationNearly 400000 unauthorized im-
migrants were deported annually during the first two years of the Obama Administration----about 30 more than the annual average during the second term of the Bush Administration Among those de-ported in 2010 nearly all (97) were Hispanic By comparison among all unauthorized immigrants 81 are Hispanic According to the same 2011 Pew
Hispanic Center survey 91 of La-tinos support the DREAM Act a proposal that would grant legal sta-tus to unauthorized immigrant chil-dren if they attend college or serve in the US military for two years And 84 of Latinos favor granting in-state tuition at public colleges to unauthorized immigrants who graduated from high school in their states

The Lubbock City Council ap-proved three key propositions
last monthThe council voted unanimously to
deny the Atmos rate increaseAtmos first proposed the rate in-
crease back in February but council postponed the resolutionCouncilman Victor Hernandez
says the rate increase could cost the average resident 25 more on their bills This has the potential to have a
very negative impact Hernandez said The actions taken today by the city is to continue to fight At-mos if you will to keep that from happeningHernandez also says Atmos wants
to consolidate three areas - the Lubbock Rate Division Amarillo Rate Division and West Texas Rate Division - in order to set a single rate for the entire area of west Tex-as Hernandez says this will also
increase customers billsAlthough the city denied the rate
increase Atmos can go before the railroad commission who have the final sayIn the meantime Hernandez says
the city will continue working with Atmos to come to an agreementThe council also voted 6 to 1 in
favor of leasing a building off of Crickets Avenue for a new health department buildingModifications to the new build-
ing are expected to take about 60 days and cost $75000 dollars The health department can stay in its current building until September 30thSome council members believe
that the current health department building is just too costly to runThe council also approved mov-
ing all council meetings to 615 in the evening starting in August

Among the 507 million Hispan-ics in the United States nearly
two-thirds (65) or 33 million self-identify as being of Mexican ori-gin according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Cen-ter No other Hispanic subgroup ri-vals the size of the Mexican-origin population Puerto Ricans the na-tions second largest Hispanic origin group make up just 9 of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia Overall the 10 largest Hispanic
origin groups----Mexicans Puerto Ricans Cubans Salvadorans Do-minicans Guatemalans Colombi-ans Hondurans Ecuadorians and Peruvians----make up 92 of the US Hispanic population Six His-panic origin groups have popula-tions greater than 1 million Hispanic origin groups differ from
each other in a number of ways For instance US Hispanics of Mexi-can origin have the lowest median age at 25 years while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest me-
dian age at 40 years Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7) Ecuador-ians have the highest annual me-dian household income ($50000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34000) Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance----the highest share among Hispanic ori-gin groups By contrast just 15 of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance Hispanic origin groups also differ
in their geographic concentration The nations Cuban population is the most concentrated----nearly half (48) live in Floridas Miami-Dade County Miami-Dade County is also home to the nations largest Colom-bian Honduran and Peruvian com-munities For Mexicans Salvador-ans and Guatemalans Los Angeles County in California contains each groups largest community The largest Puerto Rican and Dominican communities are in Bronx County New York The largest Ecuadorian community is in Queens County New York
Hispanic origin is based on self-de-scribed family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureaus American Com-munity Survey It is not necessarily the same as place of birth nor is it indicative of immigrant or citizen-ship status For example a US citi-zen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandparents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico Likewise some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors The data for this report are de-
rived from the US Census Bureaus 2010 American Community Survey which provides detailed geographic demographic and economic charac-teristics for each group The Pew Hispanic Center a proj-
ect of the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan non-advocacy research organization based in Washington DC and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts

score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

As a kid ice cream was a very intricate part of our summer My sisters and I would earn and save our money so that when
the ice cream truck came rolling up our block we would have plenty of cash - 25 cents per soft serve coneThe ice cream man who wore a baby blue jump-
suit and a golf cap would drive a big white truck that contained an oversized soft-serve ice cream maker that provided a choice of vanilla choco-late or a swirl in a coneAs we heard the music from his truck in the dis-
tance my sisters and I would go crazy gathering our change and we would send whoever had their chanclas on fi rst to wave him down
We would greet him with songs and chants that we would make up as well as the STOP If we had extra change we would buy penny gum balls that we would place on the top of our ice cream cone After awhile the Ice Cream Man whose name we never knew would just giveem to us because we were regulars I can still remember my sisters faces as we smiled and celebrated the summer as well as how quick the ice cream would meltOn Friday nights after our dad got off work my mom would urge us to
be ready so that we could go out for our traditional family night First wed head over to Bills Burgers in East Lubbock - this was my dads favorite burger place then we would drive over to Bell Dairy on N University for a scoop of ice cream Each of my sisters and I would pick our favorite fl avor and then go sit in
the wooden desk lined against the wall I always picked black cherry ice cream because it was my dads favorite and my mom would never fi nish hers so she would give it to one of us usually my dad beat us out because we were so stuffed Then it was off to the park to play until we couldnt play anymoreAnd if money was low my mom taught us how to make Kool-Aid pops or
to freeze juice even pickle juice to have our cool summer treats We were always effi cient and got more creative as the summer progressed Some-times we would go pick my grandfather Martinezs fruit add water and sugar and freeze it We would share our treat when friends and cousins came over My grandfather always knew something was up when cherries much like the ones from his tree were frozen in waterAs we approach the Fourth of July I refl ect on the family times we had be-
ing with all my cousins aunts and uncles It made me proud to be together and it brought me such contentment We were (are) an All-American fa-milia and were proud of our country - the USAs independenceAnd as we embark upon our nations Day of Independence I take pride
fl ying my American fl ag fully knowing and recognizing the contributions of many young Latino soldiers who have and are helping to keep America free It is shameful that yet again another generation of Latinos must fi ght a fi ght that is regressive for our nation One way to make an impact is to become a registered voter and then an active voter Many groups are now registering voters and we hope that you will gear up for the next election season which is around the cornerAlso please pray for our Troops and our country as many changes are
occurring And thank these men and women for their service and commit-mentA special thanks to Toni Castillo and the Catholic Daughters of America
who honored us with a beautiful award We thank and admire youThis month we will be bringing women together to learn to play golf and
more importantly to become aware about breast cancer and heart disease two leading issue impacting women Please make plans to join us August 18 2012 for our 4th Annual Vamos a

Todayrsquos Supreme Court ruling largely
struck down a law we have always recognized as an extremist attempt to undermine our core values and our Consti-tution The courtrsquos de-cision reaffirmed that SB 1070 and its many imitators are not an ac-ceptable substitute for a federal immigration standardThe rationale for states
to invent their own laws as they see fit has been wiped away Now itrsquos time for Congress to listen to what the Court said in its ruling Itrsquos our job to fix this No one else has the authority and no one else has the responsibility Anyone who wants to keep the system broken
and wait for states to make things uglier one at a time lost a big battle todayUnfortunately the Court
made a grave error in up-holding the discriminatory lsquoshow me your papersrsquo pro-vision that violates basic rights and denies equal justice This is the most poisonous part of the law and its legality will rightly be challenged on equal protection grounds in the courts This is not the end of our efforts to uphold
equal and legal treatment for the American peopleDespite the statersquos 30 percent La-
tino population Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has made a ca-reer of widespread racial profiling and discrimination If his recent
statements are any indication he is unrepentant Thatrsquos why it was so significant today that the Depart-ment of Homeland Security an-nounced it has terminated its 287(g) lsquotask forcersquo agreements with Ari-zonarsquos law enforcement agencies DHS officials have been directed not to respond to law enforcement activity unless the suspect meets federal enforcement priority guide-lines such as already being a con-victed criminal or having reentered the country after a lawful removal These steps mean that Arizonans will be protected from discrimina-tory or targeted enforcement actions by Arpaio and any other law en-forcement agent tempted to ignore federal guidelinesThis is in keeping with frequent re-
quests by Members of Congress and civil rights organizations concerned
about the long history of civil rights violations in parts of Arizona The federal government has made the right decision and deserves our thanks Now Congress must find a responsible solution to immigration reform that promotes respect for the law keeps law enforcement focused on criminal behavior and benefits all Americans Opponents of bipar-tisan reform have truly run out of excuses The rest of us stand ready to finish the job
Rep Rauacutel M Grijalva has represented Arizonarsquos Seventh Congressional District since 2003 He co-chairs the Congressio-nal Progressive Caucus and is an active member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus He currently heads the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Na-tional Parks Forests and Public Lands and has spent more than 30 years in pub-lic service

Texas Dem-ocrats try-

chairman last month during their state conventionIn a reflection of the statersquos bur-
geoning Hispanic growth and the partyrsquos longtime success with La-tinos delegates overwhelmingly elected Gilberto Hinojosa as the next party chairman He will re-place outgoing chairman Boyd Richie who announced in April 2011 that he would not seek another term after six years on the job

The United States Supreme Court held that some of the
most damaging provisions for im-migrants currently without status in the US did violate the US Consti-tution The Supreme Court held that states do not have the authority to establish and regulate state enforce-ment regarding the treatment of the immigrant communityldquoWe are thrilled with todayrsquos deci-
sion and declare it a major victory for the immigrant communityrdquo said LULAC National President Marga-ret Moran ldquoWe remain committed to continue to fight for the rights of the immigrants in this countryrdquoSpecific concern is the portion of
the Supreme Court ruling that per-mits law enforcement in Arizona to check the immigration status of individuals while enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion ex-ists that the person is in the United States illegally Presently LULAC and MALDEF have cases pending in federal district court that focus on racial profiling We believe that this is the remaining key element subject to abuse by law enforcement and we will continue to fight for fair enforcement of the laws It is also important to remember that during oral arguments the Supreme Court acknowledged the need for compre-hensive immigration reform and we
Supreme Court upholds ldquopapers pleaserdquo Arizona law but strikes down other provisions
hope this decision helps spur Con-gress to meet this need by passing a much needed legislation The League of United Latin Amer-
ican Citizens (LULAC) is the na-tionrsquos largest and oldest civil rights volunteer-based organization that empowers Hispanic Americans and builds strong Latino communities Headquartered in Washington DC with 900 councils around the United States and Puerto Rico LULACrsquos programs services and advocacy address the most important issues for Latinos meeting critical needs of today and the future For more information visit wwwlulacorg
The fight over health care re-
form moved to the US Supreme Court where attorneys are arguing the consti-tutionality of the Af-fordable Care Act President Obamas signature health initia-tive The high court could uphold the
entire law strike down its central requirement that most Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty let stand or quash a major expansion of Medicaid mdash or punt a final decision on all these issues into 2015 The court will consider four mat-
ters 1 Is the mandate penalty a tax Last month the court considered whether the penalty imposed on
people who dont buy insurance is a tax A 19th-century law pro-hibits legal challenges to a tax before it takes effect If the justices decide the penalty is a tax they could throw out challenges to the health law until
a taxpayer actually pays a penalty for failing to buy insurance which could be at least three years2 Does the US Constitution em-
power Congress to enact the man-date Last month the court turned to the central issue of whether Con-gress overstepped its authority in requiring people to buy insurance mdash as 26 states have asserted 3 Does the fate of the entire law
hang in the balance Last month the court considered whether other
sections of the law fall if any part of it is invalidated The Obama ad-ministration argued that if the court strikes down one provision of the law it should let most of the law stand 4 Can the federal government
force the states to expand access to Medicaid Also last month the justices took up a feature of the law intended to expand access to Med-icaid the health care program for low-income people that pays for most nursing home care Opponents contend that the expansion is coer-cive to the states which share costs with the federal government But Jane Perkins the legal director of the National Health Law Program in Carrboro NC argues that the expansion ldquofits neatly within the Medicaid framework that Congress established back in 1965rdquo

The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Presi-

rejected a broad legal attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by Republican state officials and the National Fed-eration of Independent BusinessThe legal challenge focused on
the lawrsquos so-called mandate that all must have insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penaltyThe administration defended
this requirement under Congressrsquo power to regulate interstate com-merce The challengers insisted the mandate was unprecedented and unconstitutional because the fed-eral government would be forcing Americans to buy a private prod-

Up to 14 million children and young adults who are in the
United States illegally could poten-tially benefit from todays announce-ment by the Obama Administration about changes in deportation poli-cies according to an estimate from the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Center The 14 million estimate includes
700000 unauthorized immigrants who are ages 18 to 30 but arrived in the US as children and are currently enrolled in school or have graduated from high school and an additional 700000 who are under the age of 18 and are enrolled in school This includes 150000 who are currently
enrolled in high school Overall the 14 million estimate
represents about 12 of the 112 million unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2010 according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Cen-ter Among the 14 million poten-tial beneficiaries of the new policy some 70 are from Mexico For de-tails on the numbers and character-istics of unauthorized immigrants in the US see the Pew Hispanic Center report Unauthorized Immi-grant Population National and State Trends 2010 A Pew Hispanic Center survey
taken late last year found that by a margin of 59 to 27 Latinos op-pose the deportation policies of the Obama Administration Among Latinos some 41 are aware that the number of deportations of un-authorized immigrants annually has been higher during the Obama Ad-ministration than during the George W Bush Administration while 36 say the two Administrations have

deported the same number of unau-thorized immigrants and 10 say fewer have been deported under the Obama administrationNearly 400000 unauthorized im-
migrants were deported annually during the first two years of the Obama Administration----about 30 more than the annual average during the second term of the Bush Administration Among those de-ported in 2010 nearly all (97) were Hispanic By comparison among all unauthorized immigrants 81 are Hispanic According to the same 2011 Pew
Hispanic Center survey 91 of La-tinos support the DREAM Act a proposal that would grant legal sta-tus to unauthorized immigrant chil-dren if they attend college or serve in the US military for two years And 84 of Latinos favor granting in-state tuition at public colleges to unauthorized immigrants who graduated from high school in their states

The Lubbock City Council ap-proved three key propositions
last monthThe council voted unanimously to
deny the Atmos rate increaseAtmos first proposed the rate in-
crease back in February but council postponed the resolutionCouncilman Victor Hernandez
says the rate increase could cost the average resident 25 more on their bills This has the potential to have a
very negative impact Hernandez said The actions taken today by the city is to continue to fight At-mos if you will to keep that from happeningHernandez also says Atmos wants
to consolidate three areas - the Lubbock Rate Division Amarillo Rate Division and West Texas Rate Division - in order to set a single rate for the entire area of west Tex-as Hernandez says this will also
increase customers billsAlthough the city denied the rate
increase Atmos can go before the railroad commission who have the final sayIn the meantime Hernandez says
the city will continue working with Atmos to come to an agreementThe council also voted 6 to 1 in
favor of leasing a building off of Crickets Avenue for a new health department buildingModifications to the new build-
ing are expected to take about 60 days and cost $75000 dollars The health department can stay in its current building until September 30thSome council members believe
that the current health department building is just too costly to runThe council also approved mov-
ing all council meetings to 615 in the evening starting in August

Among the 507 million Hispan-ics in the United States nearly
two-thirds (65) or 33 million self-identify as being of Mexican ori-gin according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Cen-ter No other Hispanic subgroup ri-vals the size of the Mexican-origin population Puerto Ricans the na-tions second largest Hispanic origin group make up just 9 of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia Overall the 10 largest Hispanic
origin groups----Mexicans Puerto Ricans Cubans Salvadorans Do-minicans Guatemalans Colombi-ans Hondurans Ecuadorians and Peruvians----make up 92 of the US Hispanic population Six His-panic origin groups have popula-tions greater than 1 million Hispanic origin groups differ from
each other in a number of ways For instance US Hispanics of Mexi-can origin have the lowest median age at 25 years while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest me-
dian age at 40 years Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7) Ecuador-ians have the highest annual me-dian household income ($50000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34000) Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance----the highest share among Hispanic ori-gin groups By contrast just 15 of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance Hispanic origin groups also differ
in their geographic concentration The nations Cuban population is the most concentrated----nearly half (48) live in Floridas Miami-Dade County Miami-Dade County is also home to the nations largest Colom-bian Honduran and Peruvian com-munities For Mexicans Salvador-ans and Guatemalans Los Angeles County in California contains each groups largest community The largest Puerto Rican and Dominican communities are in Bronx County New York The largest Ecuadorian community is in Queens County New York
Hispanic origin is based on self-de-scribed family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureaus American Com-munity Survey It is not necessarily the same as place of birth nor is it indicative of immigrant or citizen-ship status For example a US citi-zen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandparents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico Likewise some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors The data for this report are de-
rived from the US Census Bureaus 2010 American Community Survey which provides detailed geographic demographic and economic charac-teristics for each group The Pew Hispanic Center a proj-
ect of the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan non-advocacy research organization based in Washington DC and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts

the most important things you can do to improve your credit score is pay your bills by the due date You can set up automatic payments from your bank account to help you pay on time but be sure you have enough money in your ac-count to avoid overdraft fees 3 Understand how your credit
score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

Education Educacioacuten
BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

While thou-sands of
students flock home or jump in the car with their parents for vaca-tion many more like yours truly stay in Lubbock to attend summer school When I was in primary school summer school was only
discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

As a kid ice cream was a very intricate part of our summer My sisters and I would earn and save our money so that when
the ice cream truck came rolling up our block we would have plenty of cash - 25 cents per soft serve coneThe ice cream man who wore a baby blue jump-
suit and a golf cap would drive a big white truck that contained an oversized soft-serve ice cream maker that provided a choice of vanilla choco-late or a swirl in a coneAs we heard the music from his truck in the dis-
tance my sisters and I would go crazy gathering our change and we would send whoever had their chanclas on fi rst to wave him down
We would greet him with songs and chants that we would make up as well as the STOP If we had extra change we would buy penny gum balls that we would place on the top of our ice cream cone After awhile the Ice Cream Man whose name we never knew would just giveem to us because we were regulars I can still remember my sisters faces as we smiled and celebrated the summer as well as how quick the ice cream would meltOn Friday nights after our dad got off work my mom would urge us to
be ready so that we could go out for our traditional family night First wed head over to Bills Burgers in East Lubbock - this was my dads favorite burger place then we would drive over to Bell Dairy on N University for a scoop of ice cream Each of my sisters and I would pick our favorite fl avor and then go sit in
the wooden desk lined against the wall I always picked black cherry ice cream because it was my dads favorite and my mom would never fi nish hers so she would give it to one of us usually my dad beat us out because we were so stuffed Then it was off to the park to play until we couldnt play anymoreAnd if money was low my mom taught us how to make Kool-Aid pops or
to freeze juice even pickle juice to have our cool summer treats We were always effi cient and got more creative as the summer progressed Some-times we would go pick my grandfather Martinezs fruit add water and sugar and freeze it We would share our treat when friends and cousins came over My grandfather always knew something was up when cherries much like the ones from his tree were frozen in waterAs we approach the Fourth of July I refl ect on the family times we had be-
ing with all my cousins aunts and uncles It made me proud to be together and it brought me such contentment We were (are) an All-American fa-milia and were proud of our country - the USAs independenceAnd as we embark upon our nations Day of Independence I take pride
fl ying my American fl ag fully knowing and recognizing the contributions of many young Latino soldiers who have and are helping to keep America free It is shameful that yet again another generation of Latinos must fi ght a fi ght that is regressive for our nation One way to make an impact is to become a registered voter and then an active voter Many groups are now registering voters and we hope that you will gear up for the next election season which is around the cornerAlso please pray for our Troops and our country as many changes are
occurring And thank these men and women for their service and commit-mentA special thanks to Toni Castillo and the Catholic Daughters of America
who honored us with a beautiful award We thank and admire youThis month we will be bringing women together to learn to play golf and
more importantly to become aware about breast cancer and heart disease two leading issue impacting women Please make plans to join us August 18 2012 for our 4th Annual Vamos a

Todayrsquos Supreme Court ruling largely
struck down a law we have always recognized as an extremist attempt to undermine our core values and our Consti-tution The courtrsquos de-cision reaffirmed that SB 1070 and its many imitators are not an ac-ceptable substitute for a federal immigration standardThe rationale for states
to invent their own laws as they see fit has been wiped away Now itrsquos time for Congress to listen to what the Court said in its ruling Itrsquos our job to fix this No one else has the authority and no one else has the responsibility Anyone who wants to keep the system broken
and wait for states to make things uglier one at a time lost a big battle todayUnfortunately the Court
made a grave error in up-holding the discriminatory lsquoshow me your papersrsquo pro-vision that violates basic rights and denies equal justice This is the most poisonous part of the law and its legality will rightly be challenged on equal protection grounds in the courts This is not the end of our efforts to uphold
equal and legal treatment for the American peopleDespite the statersquos 30 percent La-
tino population Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has made a ca-reer of widespread racial profiling and discrimination If his recent
statements are any indication he is unrepentant Thatrsquos why it was so significant today that the Depart-ment of Homeland Security an-nounced it has terminated its 287(g) lsquotask forcersquo agreements with Ari-zonarsquos law enforcement agencies DHS officials have been directed not to respond to law enforcement activity unless the suspect meets federal enforcement priority guide-lines such as already being a con-victed criminal or having reentered the country after a lawful removal These steps mean that Arizonans will be protected from discrimina-tory or targeted enforcement actions by Arpaio and any other law en-forcement agent tempted to ignore federal guidelinesThis is in keeping with frequent re-
quests by Members of Congress and civil rights organizations concerned
about the long history of civil rights violations in parts of Arizona The federal government has made the right decision and deserves our thanks Now Congress must find a responsible solution to immigration reform that promotes respect for the law keeps law enforcement focused on criminal behavior and benefits all Americans Opponents of bipar-tisan reform have truly run out of excuses The rest of us stand ready to finish the job
Rep Rauacutel M Grijalva has represented Arizonarsquos Seventh Congressional District since 2003 He co-chairs the Congressio-nal Progressive Caucus and is an active member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus He currently heads the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Na-tional Parks Forests and Public Lands and has spent more than 30 years in pub-lic service

Texas Dem-ocrats try-

chairman last month during their state conventionIn a reflection of the statersquos bur-
geoning Hispanic growth and the partyrsquos longtime success with La-tinos delegates overwhelmingly elected Gilberto Hinojosa as the next party chairman He will re-place outgoing chairman Boyd Richie who announced in April 2011 that he would not seek another term after six years on the job

The United States Supreme Court held that some of the
most damaging provisions for im-migrants currently without status in the US did violate the US Consti-tution The Supreme Court held that states do not have the authority to establish and regulate state enforce-ment regarding the treatment of the immigrant communityldquoWe are thrilled with todayrsquos deci-
sion and declare it a major victory for the immigrant communityrdquo said LULAC National President Marga-ret Moran ldquoWe remain committed to continue to fight for the rights of the immigrants in this countryrdquoSpecific concern is the portion of
the Supreme Court ruling that per-mits law enforcement in Arizona to check the immigration status of individuals while enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion ex-ists that the person is in the United States illegally Presently LULAC and MALDEF have cases pending in federal district court that focus on racial profiling We believe that this is the remaining key element subject to abuse by law enforcement and we will continue to fight for fair enforcement of the laws It is also important to remember that during oral arguments the Supreme Court acknowledged the need for compre-hensive immigration reform and we
Supreme Court upholds ldquopapers pleaserdquo Arizona law but strikes down other provisions
hope this decision helps spur Con-gress to meet this need by passing a much needed legislation The League of United Latin Amer-
ican Citizens (LULAC) is the na-tionrsquos largest and oldest civil rights volunteer-based organization that empowers Hispanic Americans and builds strong Latino communities Headquartered in Washington DC with 900 councils around the United States and Puerto Rico LULACrsquos programs services and advocacy address the most important issues for Latinos meeting critical needs of today and the future For more information visit wwwlulacorg
The fight over health care re-
form moved to the US Supreme Court where attorneys are arguing the consti-tutionality of the Af-fordable Care Act President Obamas signature health initia-tive The high court could uphold the
entire law strike down its central requirement that most Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty let stand or quash a major expansion of Medicaid mdash or punt a final decision on all these issues into 2015 The court will consider four mat-
ters 1 Is the mandate penalty a tax Last month the court considered whether the penalty imposed on
people who dont buy insurance is a tax A 19th-century law pro-hibits legal challenges to a tax before it takes effect If the justices decide the penalty is a tax they could throw out challenges to the health law until
a taxpayer actually pays a penalty for failing to buy insurance which could be at least three years2 Does the US Constitution em-
power Congress to enact the man-date Last month the court turned to the central issue of whether Con-gress overstepped its authority in requiring people to buy insurance mdash as 26 states have asserted 3 Does the fate of the entire law
hang in the balance Last month the court considered whether other
sections of the law fall if any part of it is invalidated The Obama ad-ministration argued that if the court strikes down one provision of the law it should let most of the law stand 4 Can the federal government
force the states to expand access to Medicaid Also last month the justices took up a feature of the law intended to expand access to Med-icaid the health care program for low-income people that pays for most nursing home care Opponents contend that the expansion is coer-cive to the states which share costs with the federal government But Jane Perkins the legal director of the National Health Law Program in Carrboro NC argues that the expansion ldquofits neatly within the Medicaid framework that Congress established back in 1965rdquo

The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Presi-
dent Obamarsquos healthcare law June 28th ruling the government may impose tax penalties on persons who do not have health insuranceThe courtrsquos long-awaited ruling
rejected a broad legal attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by Republican state officials and the National Fed-eration of Independent BusinessThe legal challenge focused on
the lawrsquos so-called mandate that all must have insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penaltyThe administration defended
this requirement under Congressrsquo power to regulate interstate com-merce The challengers insisted the mandate was unprecedented and unconstitutional because the fed-eral government would be forcing Americans to buy a private prod-

Up to 14 million children and young adults who are in the
United States illegally could poten-tially benefit from todays announce-ment by the Obama Administration about changes in deportation poli-cies according to an estimate from the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Center The 14 million estimate includes
700000 unauthorized immigrants who are ages 18 to 30 but arrived in the US as children and are currently enrolled in school or have graduated from high school and an additional 700000 who are under the age of 18 and are enrolled in school This includes 150000 who are currently
enrolled in high school Overall the 14 million estimate
represents about 12 of the 112 million unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2010 according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Cen-ter Among the 14 million poten-tial beneficiaries of the new policy some 70 are from Mexico For de-tails on the numbers and character-istics of unauthorized immigrants in the US see the Pew Hispanic Center report Unauthorized Immi-grant Population National and State Trends 2010 A Pew Hispanic Center survey
taken late last year found that by a margin of 59 to 27 Latinos op-pose the deportation policies of the Obama Administration Among Latinos some 41 are aware that the number of deportations of un-authorized immigrants annually has been higher during the Obama Ad-ministration than during the George W Bush Administration while 36 say the two Administrations have

deported the same number of unau-thorized immigrants and 10 say fewer have been deported under the Obama administrationNearly 400000 unauthorized im-
migrants were deported annually during the first two years of the Obama Administration----about 30 more than the annual average during the second term of the Bush Administration Among those de-ported in 2010 nearly all (97) were Hispanic By comparison among all unauthorized immigrants 81 are Hispanic According to the same 2011 Pew
Hispanic Center survey 91 of La-tinos support the DREAM Act a proposal that would grant legal sta-tus to unauthorized immigrant chil-dren if they attend college or serve in the US military for two years And 84 of Latinos favor granting in-state tuition at public colleges to unauthorized immigrants who graduated from high school in their states

The Lubbock City Council ap-proved three key propositions
last monthThe council voted unanimously to
deny the Atmos rate increaseAtmos first proposed the rate in-
crease back in February but council postponed the resolutionCouncilman Victor Hernandez
says the rate increase could cost the average resident 25 more on their bills This has the potential to have a
very negative impact Hernandez said The actions taken today by the city is to continue to fight At-mos if you will to keep that from happeningHernandez also says Atmos wants
to consolidate three areas - the Lubbock Rate Division Amarillo Rate Division and West Texas Rate Division - in order to set a single rate for the entire area of west Tex-as Hernandez says this will also
increase customers billsAlthough the city denied the rate
increase Atmos can go before the railroad commission who have the final sayIn the meantime Hernandez says
the city will continue working with Atmos to come to an agreementThe council also voted 6 to 1 in
favor of leasing a building off of Crickets Avenue for a new health department buildingModifications to the new build-
ing are expected to take about 60 days and cost $75000 dollars The health department can stay in its current building until September 30thSome council members believe
that the current health department building is just too costly to runThe council also approved mov-
ing all council meetings to 615 in the evening starting in August

Among the 507 million Hispan-ics in the United States nearly
two-thirds (65) or 33 million self-identify as being of Mexican ori-gin according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Cen-ter No other Hispanic subgroup ri-vals the size of the Mexican-origin population Puerto Ricans the na-tions second largest Hispanic origin group make up just 9 of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia Overall the 10 largest Hispanic
origin groups----Mexicans Puerto Ricans Cubans Salvadorans Do-minicans Guatemalans Colombi-ans Hondurans Ecuadorians and Peruvians----make up 92 of the US Hispanic population Six His-panic origin groups have popula-tions greater than 1 million Hispanic origin groups differ from
each other in a number of ways For instance US Hispanics of Mexi-can origin have the lowest median age at 25 years while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest me-
dian age at 40 years Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7) Ecuador-ians have the highest annual me-dian household income ($50000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34000) Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance----the highest share among Hispanic ori-gin groups By contrast just 15 of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance Hispanic origin groups also differ
in their geographic concentration The nations Cuban population is the most concentrated----nearly half (48) live in Floridas Miami-Dade County Miami-Dade County is also home to the nations largest Colom-bian Honduran and Peruvian com-munities For Mexicans Salvador-ans and Guatemalans Los Angeles County in California contains each groups largest community The largest Puerto Rican and Dominican communities are in Bronx County New York The largest Ecuadorian community is in Queens County New York
Hispanic origin is based on self-de-scribed family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureaus American Com-munity Survey It is not necessarily the same as place of birth nor is it indicative of immigrant or citizen-ship status For example a US citi-zen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandparents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico Likewise some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors The data for this report are de-
rived from the US Census Bureaus 2010 American Community Survey which provides detailed geographic demographic and economic charac-teristics for each group The Pew Hispanic Center a proj-
ect of the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan non-advocacy research organization based in Washington DC and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts

the most important things you can do to improve your credit score is pay your bills by the due date You can set up automatic payments from your bank account to help you pay on time but be sure you have enough money in your ac-count to avoid overdraft fees 3 Understand how your credit
score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

Education Educacioacuten
BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

While thou-sands of
students flock home or jump in the car with their parents for vaca-tion many more like yours truly stay in Lubbock to attend summer school When I was in primary school summer school was only
discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Todayrsquos Supreme Court ruling largely
struck down a law we have always recognized as an extremist attempt to undermine our core values and our Consti-tution The courtrsquos de-cision reaffirmed that SB 1070 and its many imitators are not an ac-ceptable substitute for a federal immigration standardThe rationale for states
to invent their own laws as they see fit has been wiped away Now itrsquos time for Congress to listen to what the Court said in its ruling Itrsquos our job to fix this No one else has the authority and no one else has the responsibility Anyone who wants to keep the system broken
and wait for states to make things uglier one at a time lost a big battle todayUnfortunately the Court
made a grave error in up-holding the discriminatory lsquoshow me your papersrsquo pro-vision that violates basic rights and denies equal justice This is the most poisonous part of the law and its legality will rightly be challenged on equal protection grounds in the courts This is not the end of our efforts to uphold
equal and legal treatment for the American peopleDespite the statersquos 30 percent La-
tino population Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has made a ca-reer of widespread racial profiling and discrimination If his recent
statements are any indication he is unrepentant Thatrsquos why it was so significant today that the Depart-ment of Homeland Security an-nounced it has terminated its 287(g) lsquotask forcersquo agreements with Ari-zonarsquos law enforcement agencies DHS officials have been directed not to respond to law enforcement activity unless the suspect meets federal enforcement priority guide-lines such as already being a con-victed criminal or having reentered the country after a lawful removal These steps mean that Arizonans will be protected from discrimina-tory or targeted enforcement actions by Arpaio and any other law en-forcement agent tempted to ignore federal guidelinesThis is in keeping with frequent re-
quests by Members of Congress and civil rights organizations concerned
about the long history of civil rights violations in parts of Arizona The federal government has made the right decision and deserves our thanks Now Congress must find a responsible solution to immigration reform that promotes respect for the law keeps law enforcement focused on criminal behavior and benefits all Americans Opponents of bipar-tisan reform have truly run out of excuses The rest of us stand ready to finish the job
Rep Rauacutel M Grijalva has represented Arizonarsquos Seventh Congressional District since 2003 He co-chairs the Congressio-nal Progressive Caucus and is an active member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus He currently heads the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Na-tional Parks Forests and Public Lands and has spent more than 30 years in pub-lic service

The United States Supreme Court held that some of the
most damaging provisions for im-migrants currently without status in the US did violate the US Consti-tution The Supreme Court held that states do not have the authority to establish and regulate state enforce-ment regarding the treatment of the immigrant communityldquoWe are thrilled with todayrsquos deci-
sion and declare it a major victory for the immigrant communityrdquo said LULAC National President Marga-ret Moran ldquoWe remain committed to continue to fight for the rights of the immigrants in this countryrdquoSpecific concern is the portion of
the Supreme Court ruling that per-mits law enforcement in Arizona to check the immigration status of individuals while enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion ex-ists that the person is in the United States illegally Presently LULAC and MALDEF have cases pending in federal district court that focus on racial profiling We believe that this is the remaining key element subject to abuse by law enforcement and we will continue to fight for fair enforcement of the laws It is also important to remember that during oral arguments the Supreme Court acknowledged the need for compre-hensive immigration reform and we
Supreme Court upholds ldquopapers pleaserdquo Arizona law but strikes down other provisions
hope this decision helps spur Con-gress to meet this need by passing a much needed legislation The League of United Latin Amer-

The fight over health care re-
form moved to the US Supreme Court where attorneys are arguing the consti-tutionality of the Af-fordable Care Act President Obamas signature health initia-tive The high court could uphold the
entire law strike down its central requirement that most Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty let stand or quash a major expansion of Medicaid mdash or punt a final decision on all these issues into 2015 The court will consider four mat-
ters 1 Is the mandate penalty a tax Last month the court considered whether the penalty imposed on
people who dont buy insurance is a tax A 19th-century law pro-hibits legal challenges to a tax before it takes effect If the justices decide the penalty is a tax they could throw out challenges to the health law until
a taxpayer actually pays a penalty for failing to buy insurance which could be at least three years2 Does the US Constitution em-
power Congress to enact the man-date Last month the court turned to the central issue of whether Con-gress overstepped its authority in requiring people to buy insurance mdash as 26 states have asserted 3 Does the fate of the entire law
hang in the balance Last month the court considered whether other
sections of the law fall if any part of it is invalidated The Obama ad-ministration argued that if the court strikes down one provision of the law it should let most of the law stand 4 Can the federal government
force the states to expand access to Medicaid Also last month the justices took up a feature of the law intended to expand access to Med-icaid the health care program for low-income people that pays for most nursing home care Opponents contend that the expansion is coer-cive to the states which share costs with the federal government But Jane Perkins the legal director of the National Health Law Program in Carrboro NC argues that the expansion ldquofits neatly within the Medicaid framework that Congress established back in 1965rdquo

The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Presi-

the lawrsquos so-called mandate that all must have insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penaltyThe administration defended
this requirement under Congressrsquo power to regulate interstate com-merce The challengers insisted the mandate was unprecedented and unconstitutional because the fed-eral government would be forcing Americans to buy a private prod-

for the Obama administrationChief Justice John G Roberts Jr
who wrote the opinion for a 5-4 majority said the required expan-sion of Medicaid violates statesrsquo rights and may be unconstitutionalldquoThe states are given no choice in
this case They must either accept a basic change in the nature of Med-icaid or risk losing all Medicaid fundingrdquo he wroteHe said the federal government

Up to 14 million children and young adults who are in the
United States illegally could poten-tially benefit from todays announce-ment by the Obama Administration about changes in deportation poli-cies according to an estimate from the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Center The 14 million estimate includes
700000 unauthorized immigrants who are ages 18 to 30 but arrived in the US as children and are currently enrolled in school or have graduated from high school and an additional 700000 who are under the age of 18 and are enrolled in school This includes 150000 who are currently
enrolled in high school Overall the 14 million estimate
represents about 12 of the 112 million unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2010 according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Cen-ter Among the 14 million poten-tial beneficiaries of the new policy some 70 are from Mexico For de-tails on the numbers and character-istics of unauthorized immigrants in the US see the Pew Hispanic Center report Unauthorized Immi-grant Population National and State Trends 2010 A Pew Hispanic Center survey

deported the same number of unau-thorized immigrants and 10 say fewer have been deported under the Obama administrationNearly 400000 unauthorized im-
migrants were deported annually during the first two years of the Obama Administration----about 30 more than the annual average during the second term of the Bush Administration Among those de-ported in 2010 nearly all (97) were Hispanic By comparison among all unauthorized immigrants 81 are Hispanic According to the same 2011 Pew
Hispanic Center survey 91 of La-tinos support the DREAM Act a proposal that would grant legal sta-tus to unauthorized immigrant chil-dren if they attend college or serve in the US military for two years And 84 of Latinos favor granting in-state tuition at public colleges to unauthorized immigrants who graduated from high school in their states

Lubbock County garnered the Secretary of Statersquos desig-
nation ldquoSuccessful Vote Center Programrdquo The designation was received by the Lubbock County Elections AdministratorThis designation allows the Lub-
bock County Elections Office to continue offering registered voters the most secure streamlined and simple way to cast their ballotsThe idea behind Vote Centers is
to make it easier for voters to find
a location to cast their ballots on Election Day ndash wherever people live work or play ndash rather than re-turning to an assigned precinctLubbock was the first in Texas
to engage in the process during elections in 2006 After being commended by Austin legislators counties across the state are now following Lubbock to implement their own Vote Centers For more information please visit wwwvotelubbockorg

The Lubbock City Council ap-proved three key propositions
last monthThe council voted unanimously to
deny the Atmos rate increaseAtmos first proposed the rate in-
crease back in February but council postponed the resolutionCouncilman Victor Hernandez
says the rate increase could cost the average resident 25 more on their bills This has the potential to have a
very negative impact Hernandez said The actions taken today by the city is to continue to fight At-mos if you will to keep that from happeningHernandez also says Atmos wants
to consolidate three areas - the Lubbock Rate Division Amarillo Rate Division and West Texas Rate Division - in order to set a single rate for the entire area of west Tex-as Hernandez says this will also
increase customers billsAlthough the city denied the rate
increase Atmos can go before the railroad commission who have the final sayIn the meantime Hernandez says
the city will continue working with Atmos to come to an agreementThe council also voted 6 to 1 in
favor of leasing a building off of Crickets Avenue for a new health department buildingModifications to the new build-
ing are expected to take about 60 days and cost $75000 dollars The health department can stay in its current building until September 30thSome council members believe
that the current health department building is just too costly to runThe council also approved mov-
ing all council meetings to 615 in the evening starting in August

Among the 507 million Hispan-ics in the United States nearly
two-thirds (65) or 33 million self-identify as being of Mexican ori-gin according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Cen-ter No other Hispanic subgroup ri-vals the size of the Mexican-origin population Puerto Ricans the na-tions second largest Hispanic origin group make up just 9 of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia Overall the 10 largest Hispanic
origin groups----Mexicans Puerto Ricans Cubans Salvadorans Do-minicans Guatemalans Colombi-ans Hondurans Ecuadorians and Peruvians----make up 92 of the US Hispanic population Six His-panic origin groups have popula-tions greater than 1 million Hispanic origin groups differ from
each other in a number of ways For instance US Hispanics of Mexi-can origin have the lowest median age at 25 years while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest me-
dian age at 40 years Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7) Ecuador-ians have the highest annual me-dian household income ($50000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34000) Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance----the highest share among Hispanic ori-gin groups By contrast just 15 of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance Hispanic origin groups also differ
in their geographic concentration The nations Cuban population is the most concentrated----nearly half (48) live in Floridas Miami-Dade County Miami-Dade County is also home to the nations largest Colom-bian Honduran and Peruvian com-munities For Mexicans Salvador-ans and Guatemalans Los Angeles County in California contains each groups largest community The largest Puerto Rican and Dominican communities are in Bronx County New York The largest Ecuadorian community is in Queens County New York
Hispanic origin is based on self-de-scribed family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureaus American Com-munity Survey It is not necessarily the same as place of birth nor is it indicative of immigrant or citizen-ship status For example a US citi-zen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandparents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico Likewise some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors The data for this report are de-
rived from the US Census Bureaus 2010 American Community Survey which provides detailed geographic demographic and economic charac-teristics for each group The Pew Hispanic Center a proj-
ect of the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan non-advocacy research organization based in Washington DC and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts

score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

the American Journal of Health Pro-motion cites examples of sedentari-ness including watching television playing video games and surfi ng the Internet These behaviors are collec-tively known as screen timeResearchers followed 418 parent-
child pairings for two years and found this sedentary effect especially prevalent in Hispanic families whose children are more likely to be seden-tary than non-Hispanics The chil-dren ranging in age from 5 to 9 also were especially vulnerable to obesity ldquoThis may be because the Hispanic

gyn as a primary care physician which allows her to continually care for patients During her third year of medical school she found that she enjoyed working in womens health care working in an in and outpatient settingIve had the opportunity to deliver

Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Texas Sports ReportWith Mando Reyna
Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

The United States Supreme Court held that some of the
most damaging provisions for im-migrants currently without status in the US did violate the US Consti-tution The Supreme Court held that states do not have the authority to establish and regulate state enforce-ment regarding the treatment of the immigrant communityldquoWe are thrilled with todayrsquos deci-
sion and declare it a major victory for the immigrant communityrdquo said LULAC National President Marga-ret Moran ldquoWe remain committed to continue to fight for the rights of the immigrants in this countryrdquoSpecific concern is the portion of
the Supreme Court ruling that per-mits law enforcement in Arizona to check the immigration status of individuals while enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion ex-ists that the person is in the United States illegally Presently LULAC and MALDEF have cases pending in federal district court that focus on racial profiling We believe that this is the remaining key element subject to abuse by law enforcement and we will continue to fight for fair enforcement of the laws It is also important to remember that during oral arguments the Supreme Court acknowledged the need for compre-hensive immigration reform and we
Supreme Court upholds ldquopapers pleaserdquo Arizona law but strikes down other provisions
hope this decision helps spur Con-gress to meet this need by passing a much needed legislation The League of United Latin Amer-
ican Citizens (LULAC) is the na-tionrsquos largest and oldest civil rights volunteer-based organization that empowers Hispanic Americans and builds strong Latino communities Headquartered in Washington DC with 900 councils around the United States and Puerto Rico LULACrsquos programs services and advocacy address the most important issues for Latinos meeting critical needs of today and the future For more information visit wwwlulacorg
The fight over health care re-
form moved to the US Supreme Court where attorneys are arguing the consti-tutionality of the Af-fordable Care Act President Obamas signature health initia-tive The high court could uphold the
entire law strike down its central requirement that most Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty let stand or quash a major expansion of Medicaid mdash or punt a final decision on all these issues into 2015 The court will consider four mat-
ters 1 Is the mandate penalty a tax Last month the court considered whether the penalty imposed on
people who dont buy insurance is a tax A 19th-century law pro-hibits legal challenges to a tax before it takes effect If the justices decide the penalty is a tax they could throw out challenges to the health law until
a taxpayer actually pays a penalty for failing to buy insurance which could be at least three years2 Does the US Constitution em-
power Congress to enact the man-date Last month the court turned to the central issue of whether Con-gress overstepped its authority in requiring people to buy insurance mdash as 26 states have asserted 3 Does the fate of the entire law
hang in the balance Last month the court considered whether other
sections of the law fall if any part of it is invalidated The Obama ad-ministration argued that if the court strikes down one provision of the law it should let most of the law stand 4 Can the federal government
force the states to expand access to Medicaid Also last month the justices took up a feature of the law intended to expand access to Med-icaid the health care program for low-income people that pays for most nursing home care Opponents contend that the expansion is coer-cive to the states which share costs with the federal government But Jane Perkins the legal director of the National Health Law Program in Carrboro NC argues that the expansion ldquofits neatly within the Medicaid framework that Congress established back in 1965rdquo

The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Presi-

rejected a broad legal attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by Republican state officials and the National Fed-eration of Independent BusinessThe legal challenge focused on
the lawrsquos so-called mandate that all must have insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penaltyThe administration defended
this requirement under Congressrsquo power to regulate interstate com-merce The challengers insisted the mandate was unprecedented and unconstitutional because the fed-eral government would be forcing Americans to buy a private prod-

for the Obama administrationChief Justice John G Roberts Jr
who wrote the opinion for a 5-4 majority said the required expan-sion of Medicaid violates statesrsquo rights and may be unconstitutionalldquoThe states are given no choice in
this case They must either accept a basic change in the nature of Med-icaid or risk losing all Medicaid fundingrdquo he wroteHe said the federal government

Up to 14 million children and young adults who are in the
United States illegally could poten-tially benefit from todays announce-ment by the Obama Administration about changes in deportation poli-cies according to an estimate from the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Center The 14 million estimate includes
700000 unauthorized immigrants who are ages 18 to 30 but arrived in the US as children and are currently enrolled in school or have graduated from high school and an additional 700000 who are under the age of 18 and are enrolled in school This includes 150000 who are currently
enrolled in high school Overall the 14 million estimate
represents about 12 of the 112 million unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2010 according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Cen-ter Among the 14 million poten-tial beneficiaries of the new policy some 70 are from Mexico For de-tails on the numbers and character-istics of unauthorized immigrants in the US see the Pew Hispanic Center report Unauthorized Immi-grant Population National and State Trends 2010 A Pew Hispanic Center survey
taken late last year found that by a margin of 59 to 27 Latinos op-pose the deportation policies of the Obama Administration Among Latinos some 41 are aware that the number of deportations of un-authorized immigrants annually has been higher during the Obama Ad-ministration than during the George W Bush Administration while 36 say the two Administrations have

deported the same number of unau-thorized immigrants and 10 say fewer have been deported under the Obama administrationNearly 400000 unauthorized im-
migrants were deported annually during the first two years of the Obama Administration----about 30 more than the annual average during the second term of the Bush Administration Among those de-ported in 2010 nearly all (97) were Hispanic By comparison among all unauthorized immigrants 81 are Hispanic According to the same 2011 Pew
Hispanic Center survey 91 of La-tinos support the DREAM Act a proposal that would grant legal sta-tus to unauthorized immigrant chil-dren if they attend college or serve in the US military for two years And 84 of Latinos favor granting in-state tuition at public colleges to unauthorized immigrants who graduated from high school in their states

The Lubbock City Council ap-proved three key propositions
last monthThe council voted unanimously to
deny the Atmos rate increaseAtmos first proposed the rate in-
crease back in February but council postponed the resolutionCouncilman Victor Hernandez
says the rate increase could cost the average resident 25 more on their bills This has the potential to have a
very negative impact Hernandez said The actions taken today by the city is to continue to fight At-mos if you will to keep that from happeningHernandez also says Atmos wants
to consolidate three areas - the Lubbock Rate Division Amarillo Rate Division and West Texas Rate Division - in order to set a single rate for the entire area of west Tex-as Hernandez says this will also
increase customers billsAlthough the city denied the rate
increase Atmos can go before the railroad commission who have the final sayIn the meantime Hernandez says
the city will continue working with Atmos to come to an agreementThe council also voted 6 to 1 in
favor of leasing a building off of Crickets Avenue for a new health department buildingModifications to the new build-
ing are expected to take about 60 days and cost $75000 dollars The health department can stay in its current building until September 30thSome council members believe
that the current health department building is just too costly to runThe council also approved mov-
ing all council meetings to 615 in the evening starting in August

Among the 507 million Hispan-ics in the United States nearly
two-thirds (65) or 33 million self-identify as being of Mexican ori-gin according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Cen-ter No other Hispanic subgroup ri-vals the size of the Mexican-origin population Puerto Ricans the na-tions second largest Hispanic origin group make up just 9 of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia Overall the 10 largest Hispanic
origin groups----Mexicans Puerto Ricans Cubans Salvadorans Do-minicans Guatemalans Colombi-ans Hondurans Ecuadorians and Peruvians----make up 92 of the US Hispanic population Six His-panic origin groups have popula-tions greater than 1 million Hispanic origin groups differ from
each other in a number of ways For instance US Hispanics of Mexi-can origin have the lowest median age at 25 years while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest me-
dian age at 40 years Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7) Ecuador-ians have the highest annual me-dian household income ($50000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34000) Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance----the highest share among Hispanic ori-gin groups By contrast just 15 of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance Hispanic origin groups also differ
in their geographic concentration The nations Cuban population is the most concentrated----nearly half (48) live in Floridas Miami-Dade County Miami-Dade County is also home to the nations largest Colom-bian Honduran and Peruvian com-munities For Mexicans Salvador-ans and Guatemalans Los Angeles County in California contains each groups largest community The largest Puerto Rican and Dominican communities are in Bronx County New York The largest Ecuadorian community is in Queens County New York
Hispanic origin is based on self-de-scribed family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureaus American Com-munity Survey It is not necessarily the same as place of birth nor is it indicative of immigrant or citizen-ship status For example a US citi-zen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandparents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico Likewise some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors The data for this report are de-
rived from the US Census Bureaus 2010 American Community Survey which provides detailed geographic demographic and economic charac-teristics for each group The Pew Hispanic Center a proj-
ect of the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan non-advocacy research organization based in Washington DC and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts

be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-

High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for

fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Up to 14 million children and young adults who are in the
United States illegally could poten-tially benefit from todays announce-ment by the Obama Administration about changes in deportation poli-cies according to an estimate from the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Center The 14 million estimate includes
700000 unauthorized immigrants who are ages 18 to 30 but arrived in the US as children and are currently enrolled in school or have graduated from high school and an additional 700000 who are under the age of 18 and are enrolled in school This includes 150000 who are currently
enrolled in high school Overall the 14 million estimate
represents about 12 of the 112 million unauthorized immigrants in the US as of 2010 according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Cen-ter Among the 14 million poten-tial beneficiaries of the new policy some 70 are from Mexico For de-tails on the numbers and character-istics of unauthorized immigrants in the US see the Pew Hispanic Center report Unauthorized Immi-grant Population National and State Trends 2010 A Pew Hispanic Center survey
taken late last year found that by a margin of 59 to 27 Latinos op-pose the deportation policies of the Obama Administration Among Latinos some 41 are aware that the number of deportations of un-authorized immigrants annually has been higher during the Obama Ad-ministration than during the George W Bush Administration while 36 say the two Administrations have

deported the same number of unau-thorized immigrants and 10 say fewer have been deported under the Obama administrationNearly 400000 unauthorized im-
migrants were deported annually during the first two years of the Obama Administration----about 30 more than the annual average during the second term of the Bush Administration Among those de-ported in 2010 nearly all (97) were Hispanic By comparison among all unauthorized immigrants 81 are Hispanic According to the same 2011 Pew
Hispanic Center survey 91 of La-tinos support the DREAM Act a proposal that would grant legal sta-tus to unauthorized immigrant chil-dren if they attend college or serve in the US military for two years And 84 of Latinos favor granting in-state tuition at public colleges to unauthorized immigrants who graduated from high school in their states

Lubbock County garnered the Secretary of Statersquos desig-
nation ldquoSuccessful Vote Center Programrdquo The designation was received by the Lubbock County Elections AdministratorThis designation allows the Lub-
bock County Elections Office to continue offering registered voters the most secure streamlined and simple way to cast their ballotsThe idea behind Vote Centers is
to make it easier for voters to find
a location to cast their ballots on Election Day ndash wherever people live work or play ndash rather than re-turning to an assigned precinctLubbock was the first in Texas
to engage in the process during elections in 2006 After being commended by Austin legislators counties across the state are now following Lubbock to implement their own Vote Centers For more information please visit wwwvotelubbockorg

The Lubbock City Council ap-proved three key propositions
last monthThe council voted unanimously to
deny the Atmos rate increaseAtmos first proposed the rate in-
crease back in February but council postponed the resolutionCouncilman Victor Hernandez
says the rate increase could cost the average resident 25 more on their bills This has the potential to have a
very negative impact Hernandez said The actions taken today by the city is to continue to fight At-mos if you will to keep that from happeningHernandez also says Atmos wants
to consolidate three areas - the Lubbock Rate Division Amarillo Rate Division and West Texas Rate Division - in order to set a single rate for the entire area of west Tex-as Hernandez says this will also
increase customers billsAlthough the city denied the rate
increase Atmos can go before the railroad commission who have the final sayIn the meantime Hernandez says
the city will continue working with Atmos to come to an agreementThe council also voted 6 to 1 in
favor of leasing a building off of Crickets Avenue for a new health department buildingModifications to the new build-
ing are expected to take about 60 days and cost $75000 dollars The health department can stay in its current building until September 30thSome council members believe
that the current health department building is just too costly to runThe council also approved mov-
ing all council meetings to 615 in the evening starting in August

Among the 507 million Hispan-ics in the United States nearly
two-thirds (65) or 33 million self-identify as being of Mexican ori-gin according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center a project of the Pew Research Cen-ter No other Hispanic subgroup ri-vals the size of the Mexican-origin population Puerto Ricans the na-tions second largest Hispanic origin group make up just 9 of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia Overall the 10 largest Hispanic
origin groups----Mexicans Puerto Ricans Cubans Salvadorans Do-minicans Guatemalans Colombi-ans Hondurans Ecuadorians and Peruvians----make up 92 of the US Hispanic population Six His-panic origin groups have popula-tions greater than 1 million Hispanic origin groups differ from
each other in a number of ways For instance US Hispanics of Mexi-can origin have the lowest median age at 25 years while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest me-
dian age at 40 years Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7) Ecuador-ians have the highest annual me-dian household income ($50000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34000) Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance----the highest share among Hispanic ori-gin groups By contrast just 15 of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance Hispanic origin groups also differ
in their geographic concentration The nations Cuban population is the most concentrated----nearly half (48) live in Floridas Miami-Dade County Miami-Dade County is also home to the nations largest Colom-bian Honduran and Peruvian com-munities For Mexicans Salvador-ans and Guatemalans Los Angeles County in California contains each groups largest community The largest Puerto Rican and Dominican communities are in Bronx County New York The largest Ecuadorian community is in Queens County New York
Hispanic origin is based on self-de-scribed family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureaus American Com-munity Survey It is not necessarily the same as place of birth nor is it indicative of immigrant or citizen-ship status For example a US citi-zen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandparents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico Likewise some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors The data for this report are de-
rived from the US Census Bureaus 2010 American Community Survey which provides detailed geographic demographic and economic charac-teristics for each group The Pew Hispanic Center a proj-
ect of the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan non-advocacy research organization based in Washington DC and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts

be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you
must take to improve your credit report The Federal Trade Com-missionrsquos ldquoBuilding a Better Cred-it Reportrdquo has information on cor-recting errors in your report tips on dealing with debt and avoiding scams--and more 5 Beware of credit-repair

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright

While thou-sands of
students flock home or jump in the car with their parents for vaca-tion many more like yours truly stay in Lubbock to attend summer school When I was in primary school summer school was only
discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Texas Sports ReportWith Mando Reyna
Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

the most important things you can do to improve your credit score is pay your bills by the due date You can set up automatic payments from your bank account to help you pay on time but be sure you have enough money in your ac-count to avoid overdraft fees 3 Understand how your credit
score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

With the start of summer some school children fi nd them-

with a classic case of ldquocouch potatordquo Zhen Cong an assistant professor of human development and family stud-ies at Texas Tech University says this behavior without intervention can be habit formingldquoWe found that family support is
very important for reducing chil-drenrsquos sedentary behaviorsrdquo Cong said ldquoParents need to make this a pri-ority and encourage their children to be more physically activerdquoHer new study published recently in
the American Journal of Health Pro-motion cites examples of sedentari-ness including watching television playing video games and surfi ng the Internet These behaviors are collec-tively known as screen timeResearchers followed 418 parent-
child pairings for two years and found this sedentary effect especially prevalent in Hispanic families whose children are more likely to be seden-tary than non-Hispanics The chil-dren ranging in age from 5 to 9 also were especially vulnerable to obesity ldquoThis may be because the Hispanic
culture typically has a higher fat in-takerdquo Cong said ldquoChildren also imi-tate what they see If the parents are sedentary their children will be toordquoThe fi ndings are the result of a 2007
study done in collaboration with sev-eral co-investigators at Texas Tech and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing called Transfomacion Para Salud (Change for Health) The research in-

how much support for active living they provided their children Cong found that children with stronger parental support had lower levels of sedentary behaviorldquoSupport comes in the form of pro-

differences Researchers found that girls had fewer sedentary behaviors to start out with but boys were most likely to respond to their parentsrsquo en-couragement Cong said sociodemographic fac-
tors can also play a signifi cant role Low education employment and income levels among parents are linked to a greater risk of sedentary behavior perhaps because limited fi nances lead to fewer opportunities for physical programs sports or gym memberships ldquoThe bottom line is that it is impor-

ents should be proactive and the stu-dent more soUpon completing her bachelors de-
gree she applied to medical school - out of 2000 applicants only 140 were accepted including herShe decided to specialize as an Ob-
gyn as a primary care physician which allows her to continually care for patients During her third year of medical school she found that she enjoyed working in womens health care working in an in and outpatient settingIve had the opportunity to deliver
babies and theres nothing quite like it Theres no words to describe bring-ing new life into the world she saidShe will now begin her residency at
UT Southwestern in Dallas TX She will work under the supervision of an attendee offering general patient care in office and in general surgical skillsThats where I learn to be a doctor in
the field of my choiceUpon comple-
tion Miranda aspires to pursue a fellowship and hopefully return and practice in LubbockShe concluded
by thanking her family and friends for their love and supportIts been amaz-
ing its been hard and thank you for believing in me

BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

While thou-sands of
students flock home or jump in the car with their parents for vaca-tion many more like yours truly stay in Lubbock to attend summer school When I was in primary school summer school was only
discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

the most important things you can do to improve your credit score is pay your bills by the due date You can set up automatic payments from your bank account to help you pay on time but be sure you have enough money in your ac-count to avoid overdraft fees 3 Understand how your credit
score is determined Your credit score is usually based on the an-swers to these questions Do you pay your bills on time The an-swer to this question is very im-portant If you have paid bills late have had an account referred to a collection agency or have ever declared bankruptcy this history will show up in your credit report What is your outstanding debt Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit it is likely to have a negative effect on your score How long is your credit history A short credit his-tory may have a negative effect on your score but a short history can
be offset by other factors such as timely payments and low balances Have you applied for new credit recently If you have applied for too many new accounts recently that may negatively affect your score However if you request a
copy of your own credit report or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make prescreened credit offers these inquiries about your credit history
are not counted as applications for credit How many and what types of credit accounts do you have Many credit-scoring models con-sider the number and type of credit accounts you have A mix of in-stallment loans and credit cards may improve your score How-ever too many fi nance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score 4 Learn the legal steps you

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-

teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for

fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

ents should be proactive and the stu-dent more soUpon completing her bachelors de-
gree she applied to medical school - out of 2000 applicants only 140 were accepted including herShe decided to specialize as an Ob-
gyn as a primary care physician which allows her to continually care for patients During her third year of medical school she found that she enjoyed working in womens health care working in an in and outpatient settingIve had the opportunity to deliver
babies and theres nothing quite like it Theres no words to describe bring-ing new life into the world she saidShe will now begin her residency at
UT Southwestern in Dallas TX She will work under the supervision of an attendee offering general patient care in office and in general surgical skillsThats where I learn to be a doctor in
the field of my choiceUpon comple-
tion Miranda aspires to pursue a fellowship and hopefully return and practice in LubbockShe concluded
by thanking her family and friends for their love and supportIts been amaz-
ing its been hard and thank you for believing in me

Education Educacioacuten
BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

While thou-sands of
students flock home or jump in the car with their parents for vaca-tion many more like yours truly stay in Lubbock to attend summer school When I was in primary school summer school was only
discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and

God Saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so He put His arms around you and whispered ldquocome to merdquo With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and though we love you dearly we could not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands were put to rest God broke our hearts to prove to ushellipHe only takes the best We miss you
Love Tita Your Grandmother

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Did you know that what you grill and how you grill it may infl uence your cancer risk Eating more than 18 ounces of red meat a week has been found to increase your risk of getting colorectal cancer Processed meat such as hot-dogs cold cuts bacon and ham are even worse ANY AMOUNT increases your cancer risk The American Institute of Cancer
Research has come up with four strat-egies that can help reduce your cancer risk on the grill 1 Focus on Fruits and Vegetables -
Choose plenty of colorful vegetables which are packed with phytochemi-cals plants natural cancer fi ghting compounds Vegetables such as corn on the cob asparagus mushrooms and zucchini taste great on the grill and can be grilled whole or cut into chunks for a kabob For a delicious dessert cut fresh fruit such as pineapple into slices or peaches and bananas in half
and place on grill Sprinkle with some cinnamon and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt 2 Marinate - Marinating
the meat before you place it on the grill reduces the formation of cancer caus-ing compounds Marinate overnight or if yoursquore time crunched 30 minutes it can still help3 Pre-cook - The less
time meat is exposed to high temperatures the bet-ter pre-cook it in the oven
stove-top or microwave and fi nish cooking it on the grill 4 Low fl ame - Cook your meat on
a lower fl ame to prevent burning or charring this will reduce the amount of carcinogens formed If you trim the meat of excess fat it will reduce fl are-ups and calories And remember grilling is not just
about the food but the time spent with your family and friends Happy grill-ingVisit wwwrunningongreencom for

the American Journal of Health Pro-motion cites examples of sedentari-ness including watching television playing video games and surfi ng the Internet These behaviors are collec-tively known as screen timeResearchers followed 418 parent-

ents should be proactive and the stu-dent more soUpon completing her bachelors de-
gree she applied to medical school - out of 2000 applicants only 140 were accepted including herShe decided to specialize as an Ob-
gyn as a primary care physician which allows her to continually care for patients During her third year of medical school she found that she enjoyed working in womens health care working in an in and outpatient settingIve had the opportunity to deliver
babies and theres nothing quite like it Theres no words to describe bring-ing new life into the world she saidShe will now begin her residency at
UT Southwestern in Dallas TX She will work under the supervision of an attendee offering general patient care in office and in general surgical skillsThats where I learn to be a doctor in
the field of my choiceUpon comple-
tion Miranda aspires to pursue a fellowship and hopefully return and practice in LubbockShe concluded

Education Educacioacuten
BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

While thou-sands of
students flock home or jump in the car with their parents for vaca-tion many more like yours truly stay in Lubbock to attend summer school When I was in primary school summer school was only
discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

gyn as a primary care physician which allows her to continually care for patients During her third year of medical school she found that she enjoyed working in womens health care working in an in and outpatient settingIve had the opportunity to deliver

BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

ents should be proactive and the stu-dent more soUpon completing her bachelors de-
gree she applied to medical school - out of 2000 applicants only 140 were accepted including herShe decided to specialize as an Ob-
gyn as a primary care physician which allows her to continually care for patients During her third year of medical school she found that she enjoyed working in womens health care working in an in and outpatient settingIve had the opportunity to deliver
babies and theres nothing quite like it Theres no words to describe bring-ing new life into the world she saidShe will now begin her residency at
UT Southwestern in Dallas TX She will work under the supervision of an attendee offering general patient care in office and in general surgical skillsThats where I learn to be a doctor in

BY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIAFOR LATINO LUBBOCK
Ever since she was a little
girl Miranda Go-mez wanted to be a doctor And be-cause she had the support of many family members it was inevitable that this dream would become realityWhile many of
her family members inspired her her teachers provided her with many tools to get her on the education trackShe always had great teachers who
inspired her One teacher in particu-lar was Ms McMillan who taught her during the second third and fourth grades at Wolforth ElementaryOne day her teacher told her grand-
mother Grace Gomez Ms Gomez I think Miranda wants to take over my job said Ms McMillan playfullyShe said that Miranda was bright
and often assisted the other students to also do wellMiranda said that having Ms Mc-
Millan as a teacher for three years was a plusShe knew me and knew how to
teach me she saidWhen Miranda attended Lubbock
High School she became more cer-tain of what she wanted to doShe was in the LEAP program led
by Kay Moore who informed her about the Undergraduate Medical School InitiativeThis program helps you prepare for
college and gave me that extra con-fidence that I needed to consider the medical field This program she said helped her
study better and helped her with her college entry scores like the ACTWhen she graduated she did so in
the top 10 percent of her class and she took the SAT three times before

discussed with the children who de-cided that not doing their homework sounded like a good idea or with those who decided that they wanted to relax during the semester While I didnrsquot fall under either of these cat-egories fast forward ten years and itrsquos probably the smartest thing Irsquove ever done The course work is a little fast paced and the days just seem to
fly by but all in all summer school is by far one of the easiest semesters in your collegiate career To me summer school is a chance to stay on track or speed up the degree plan and while it may sound that I am giv-ing up a precious summer the feel-ing of knowing that I am that much closer to finishing up my degree is a much more satisfying feeling That along with an improved grade point average in the fall doesnrsquot re-ally sound that bad either If yoursquore off during the summer find ways to occupy your time Read a book go out and exercise or take a skill class in something yoursquove always wanted to try Just find some ways to keep your mind active so yoursquore not left in the dust in the fall NICHOLAS MUNtildeIZ is a freshman English major at Texas Tech University He is the first in his family to attend college

Tuition continues to rise at many public universities across the
nationNow barring
Cong ress iona l intervention stu-dent loan interest rates will double on July 1st from 34 to 68 percentThe change af-
fects subsidized Stafford student loansAcross the nation student leaders
and administrators are banning to-gether to call for a bipartisan bill to keep interest rates lowldquoWe are urging Senators Nelson
and Rubio to act to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans on behalf of all studentsrdquo Christine Lindstrom said Florida PIRG High-er Education Program DirectorThe groups are focusing on La-
tinos which Lindstrom said have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturnShe said that roughly 63000 La-
tino students in Florida alone will see their loan amount increase by over $900 on average which would total an additional $62-million in loan debtWhy the focus on Latinos Lind-
strom says there is a great interest in which way the Latino vote will go in
the November electionldquoWe wanted to make sure that the
Latino perspec-tive on issues in student aid was being put forth loudly and clear-lyrdquo she said ldquoThe reality is
that more His-panic Americans in Florida need access to post secondary educa-
tionrdquo said Vallejo ldquoAnd loans are not part of the culture So increasing interest rates will scare them awayrdquoHigher rates are especially worri-
some since student loans follow the borrowers for life They cannot be discharged in bankruptcyIn addition to Floridarsquos unemploy-
ment rate which is higher than the national average Vallejo said ldquoLoans discourage students from choosing education and nonprofit fields as careers [out of] fear that low salaries will not allow them to pay back the loansrdquoFPIRG says a deal to keep interest
rates low is being crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but several deals in recent weeks have fallen throughCongress has less than a week to
act

to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Texas Sports ReportWith Mando Reyna
Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Texas Sports ReportWith Mando Reyna
Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine
and outdoors but along with the fun the season also offers up situations that can endanger your pet By tak-ing precautions you can decrease the chance that disaster will happen The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) offers these tips for pet own-ers to keep their furry friends safe this summerIn nice weather you may be tempted
to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands But during warm weather the inside of your car can reach 120deg in a matter of minutes even if yoursquore parked in the shade This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the
Summer Care Tips For Your Petscar Dogs and cats canrsquot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet Pets who are left in hot cars even briefl y can suffer from heat exhaustion heat stroke brain damage and can even die Summer is often a time when people
fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens But beware Plant food fer-tilizer and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them In addition more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic sub-stances in suffi cient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals With people and dogs spending
more time outside dog bites are like-ly to increase in the summer months Spaying or neutering your dog reduc-es the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefi tsMake sure your pet is always wear-
ing a collar and identifi cation tag If you are separated from your pet an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket homeCheck with your veterinarian to see
if your pets should be taking heart-worm prevention medication Heart-worm disease which is transmitted

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Wow I can remember that we always looked forward to the
end of the school year We enjoyed a couple of weeks just goofi ng off and going swimming at Mackenzie Park swimming pool If I remember right it only cost us a quarter to go swim-ming If we could not go there we would walk to the Boys Club on 20th and Avenue K (where the fl ea market is now) for a day of playing pool and games or swimming in that pool Then came the day when the truck-
ers would start looking for hands to go to the limpia which was chop-ping weeds in the cotton fi elds There were several truckers that would pick you up and take you to work in the cotton fi elds We would get paid 35 cents an hour and we would work for
10 hours in the hot sun I remember Mom
waking us up at 530 am so that we could be ready to be picked up by 6 am She would pack us a lunch of pan y bologna or maybe some tortillas with beans and eggs Right before lunch the truckero would go pur-chase cold drinks for lunch I remem-ber looking for some kind of shade just to rest for 30 minutes before we went back to work There were times that we wished it
would rain so that we did not have to go out to the fi elds There was a belief that if you killed a snake and
put it belly up it would rain I dont know how many times we tried this and it never worked We would look for-
ward to Saturday be-cause on that day the money we earned we got to keep for our-selves Now I look back and think that this
is how I learned my work ethic and I thank all the people that taught me how to work for a living

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Q Why does it seem that when I need to make a putt I cant
A PRACTICE PRACTICE and more PRACTICE 90 of golfers tend to forget that the short game is the most important as-pect of the game along
with the most ignored A good habit to get into with putting is understand how to think two putt on every putt What makes you a bad putter besides bad practice hab-its is the pressure you put on yourself to make every putt because it may be for par bogey or worse I assure you if you start thinking two putt you will start rolling in more one putts and see yourself saving shots instead of adding themEditors Note Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course Contact him at tincup599gmailcom

If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will

Are you ready for the heat that
this month of July is going to bring us Consider the fire-works on the 4th to be the starting gun for what is about to happen this month
If there is a hot seat in the entire state it belongs to Michael Young of the Texas Rangers As of right now he is not playing up to MLB desig-nated hitter status and certainly not up to Michael Young status Prob-lem is that he is on the last year of his contract and it would be surprising if the team does not try to move him Biggest obstacle on that possibility is that the Rangers would have to absorb a part of his contract if that was to succeed Although the most popular thought among the nation is to make a move on him let me sug-gest that maybe he is in a slump and he can work his way out of it It will be difficult to trade him and one of the better hitters out there has al-ready been traded to the White Sox and you wont get any value As long as the pitching staff can stay ahead of their opponents the hits will continue to come for him and also for everyone else Darvish is look-ing great and Oswalt has started out fantastically from the pitching camp For the Rangers to maintain their big dog status this month the fire-works coming out of their pitch-ing arms have to lead to fireworks coming out of their bats They meet their divi-sion rivals later on this month with the Angels Athletics but also
with the Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox here at home The Twins shouldnrsquot worry them but remember they gave them a challenge in Arling-ton when they last met The biggest thing going on is that yes all of the NFL teams start their training camps starting from the middle to later on in the month The Cowboys open up in Oxnard California on the 30th and the 31st but one thing that has been noticed is that they are only running one practice a day Since I have been noticing in camp they usually run practices twice a day for a couple of days a week especially in the begin-ning The Cowboys think that with a full season under Rob Ryanrsquos defen-sive scheme without any pesky NFL strikes in the way and a full offsea-son with the defensive players they acquired recently they can make an impact this year Jerry Jones has said that before but changing the practice site to Oxnard California with the milder temperatures and practicing once a day sure is a far cry from all of their past camps since he became the owner Houston on the other hand will practice in Houston under one of the hottest conditions in the country for as many years running The win-dow of opportunity is getting smaller for both of these teams with their key players getting older so letrsquos hope no injuries slow them down in July In case you missed it the NCAA will
