Park Service rejects rumors of

Brown’s Flowers to
offer free blue ribbons
By April Davis
(806) 273-5611
In an effort to “Make Borger Blue” and support local law enforcement, Brown’s Flowers
is offering free blue ribbons for anyone wanting one. The ribbon give-away started Tuesday.
“Anyone can come in and receive a ribbon, one per household. We will be doing this
through Friday and anyone can come get their
bow to help support law enforcement officers,”
says Brown’s Flower designer Sharon Heitt.
Heitt adds that if anyone would prefer to
have a red ribbon to include the fire department, she would be more than happy to make
a red bow as well.
“When I heard about the attacks on law enforcement, I made some bows and placed them
out front. The next day, one of them was missing, so I just put out one more. I think everyone should support law enforcement and this
campaign is an easy way to do it,” says Heitt.

Continued from page 1
We contacted the state, because they’re the ones who
get information to the CDC [Center for Disease Control].”
At the end of the day, no local, regional, state wide,
or national health organization was able to attribute any
case of flesh eating, or necrosis inducing bacteria to the
water at Lake Meredith. While some have suggested
testing the lake water to be on the safe side, Jones explains that the notion is easier said than done.
“What would we test for? We cant do anything based
on a Facebook post.” He says, “Until I get some factual
evidence from a medical professional to put through our
Borger News -Herald
Department of Health guys, we cant just go out there
and test for everything under the sun. It’s lake water,
there are always going to be some bugs in lake water but
it’s a clean water lake.”
While its entirely possible that an open wound or
legion might become infected after swimming around
in any lake or pond and become a life threatening condition, the idea that casual swimmers need to concern
themselves with a predatory flesh-hungry bacteria
seems to be an exaggeration, and Jones urges lake-goers
to keep things in perspective.
“I hit the lake this weekend with about 10,000 other
people, and we seem to kicking along just fine.” He
concludes, “I’ll be out there paddle boarding this evening.”

Unconfirmed reports have indicated that a Pampa man recently passed away due to an infection, however
it’s much less certain how the infection might have been contracted at Lake Meredith. In any event, no
regional hospital has confirmed any cases of “flesh eating bacteria,” a diagnosis they would be required to
report by law. (Photo by Don Rice, 2015)
Peaches
Each year, they make stops all over West Texas
and the Oklahoma Panhandle for those that wish to
enjoy the peaches.
This year, the truck will be in Borger at the Wildcatter’s parking lot on Thursday, August 11 from
7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday, August 26 from
1:00 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Monica Wild of Cunningham Peaches says that
her aunt and uncle owned the business until they
retired.
“My brother has the orchard and my sister and I
run the trucks. We sell for him and it’s a family affair,” informs Wild.
“We mostly sell in Texas, but this year we are
going over to the Tulsa area and Oklahoma City,”
says Wild.
Prices for the peaches are $30 for a crate and
crates are usually about 20 pounds.
“We have refrigerated semi-trucks to deliver the
peaches. These peaches are picked within two days
of when you purchase them. They are very fresh.
They are picked, packed at the orchard, and shipped
almost immediately. We get a new truck load about
every two days here,” says Wild. “These peaches
have been fed by the snow melt of the Colorado
Mountains and kissed by the high altitude sun of
Colorado.”
Cunningham Peaches also produce pears and
sweet cherries with delivers in nine different
states.
“Our goal is to get the the fruit into the user’s
hands in the quickest amount of time, with the best
quality possible, and at a reasonable price,” says
Wild.
Other stops in the Texas Panhandle include
Amarillo on August 8 at the Church of Christ at
the Colonies at 4500 Wesley, Canadian on August
13 at the rodeo grounds, Childress on August 16
at Tractor Supply, Dalhart on August 9 at Bar H
Steakhouse, Hereford on August 15 at Sugarland
Mall, Lubbock on August 16 at Pinspired, Pampa
on August 12 at the old Ford lot, and Perryton on
August 5 at Equity Town & Country CoOp.

She says, ““Police department, Sheriff’s department, Fire department, if they want one to show
support they can get one.”
Heitt’s daughter is the news editor for Farmersville Times in Princeton and she’s working on
homeland security for her master’s, says Heitt.
“She’s very involved with the police department
there. She’s done classes with the fire department,
so she’s very much interested in what we are doing here for our law enforcement officers,” informs
Heitt. She’s told her daughter about the Make Borger Blue campaign.
Heitt says she’s already given away a few ribbons, Sara Bumgarner, owner of Sara’s Health
Food Store, being one of the first.
“I made the ribbon for the mayor, so that’s where
the idea came from. I gave a big one to Bobby
Bridges, his son is DPS here, so he wanted one,”
states Heitt.
Heitt hopes everyone will participate in the Make
Borger Blue campaign.
“I want to encourage everyone to come in. Get
your free blue bow to support our law enforcement
officers. Show them that we love them.”
Brown’s Flowers is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. The ribbons are
available until Friday at closing.

Vacation Bible School in Bunavista
By Haley Vinyard
Reporting Staff
Bunavista
Baptist
Church would like to
invite the children of
the Panhandle area to
their final night of Vacation Bible School, or
VBS, tonight, Wednesday the 27, from 6:00
p.m to 9:00 p.m. The
age groups are children
who have finished kindergarten to children
who finished fifth grade.
Only children fitting
that age description will
be able to participate in
the activities. When being grouped up they will
be put into classes with
other kids who are in the
same grade as they are.
The theme for Bunavista Baptist church’s
vacation bible school
this year is Ocean Commotion where children
will be learning many
lessons which will also
include Noah’s Ark.
“We’re
studying
about Noah and the Ark
and they have to learn
different things about
that. There’s five things
we’re only doing three
days but were covering all five things. They
have to learn to stand
for God, trust God,
obey God, thank God,
and fear God,” Vacation
Bible School Director
Beth Kitchens said.
There are also many
different activities other
than a lesson that the
children will be participating in. Every evening a game is played
that goes along with the
lesson for that night.
For example, one of the
games that was played
earlier this week was
octopus tag which is a
water game, and another
game involved a whale
that went with the lesson. There will also be
a music class, dancing,
and a snack is provided
for them during the time
that they are there.
“Just come and join
us we’re having fun,”
Kitchens said.

GLO’s Texas Coasts
wins award at GIS confrence
PRESS RELEASE
AUSTIN - Texas Land
Commissioner George
P. Bush today proudly
announced Texas Coasts,
a Web-based app to help
vacationers find the perfect beach, won 3rd place
in the Use of an API in a
Map category at the 2016
Esri International User
Conference (Esri UC).
The Environmental Systems Research Institute,
or Esri, hosts the world’s
largest annual conference
dedicated to geographic
information system
(GIS) technology. This
category evaluates maps
that make specific use of
an Esri mapping API as
a core component in the
design and publication of
a standalone online map
product. The judges accessed applicant designs
via mobile devices and
reserved desktops.
“I am proud of the
innovative ideas created
at the General Land Office that have real-world
applications that benefit Texans,” Texas Land
Commissioner George P.
Bush said. “I am proud
of the work my team has
done to make the Texas
Coasts app a reality and I
thank the Esri UC leaders
who recognized this innovation at this conference.
It is truly an honor.”
Texas Coasts’ responsive design fully integrates across all platforms
for an easy user experience whether using a
desktop, laptop, tablet or
smart phone. TxCoasts.
com allows users to sort
by multiple filters to find
the perfect place for their
next outing. Texas Coasts
provides a locationenabled mapping function
with turn-by-turn directions to each of the more
than 600 destinations
along the Texas coast.
The application integrates
with both Facebook
and Twitter for users to
share vacation plans with
friends and family.
“Texas Coasts is the
one-stop digital app for
anyone who wants to
enjoy and explore our
amazing coastline,” Bush
said. “It’s a great app
for families, fishermen,
vacationers and anyone
who wants to find the
right Texas beach or boat
ramp for fun in the sun
year-round. Texas Coasts
is also an economic development tool, since the
coast is one of our state’s
top economic engines.”
Users can search for
destinations with multiple
filters to find a variety of
amenities and activities at
each location including:
Boat docks,Canoeing,
Showers, Boat ramps,
Mooring, Swimming,
Camping,Picnic tables,
Wildlife viewing, Hiking,

including activities, available facilities, fee information, site type, access
type, location, and contact
info. Most site pages also
include images associated
with each access point.
With so much information
available for interactive
use on a computer, tablet,
or smart phone, travelers
can plan their next getaway from anywhere.
Commissioner Bush
has prioritized making
government more ef-
ficient, and on bringing
new technology and ideas
to the General Land Office. The Texas Coasts
Web app replaces the

Fritch, Texas
Fritch, Texas is located in southwestern Hutchinson County. The town began in an area
owned by three ranchers - J. M. Sanford, J. H. Johnson and Roy Wright. Fritch was named
for H. C. (Fred) Fritch of Chicago, a vice president of the Rock Island Railroad. After the line
was opened, Fritch established a depot at his townsite and in 1933 he laid out the streets
parallel with the railroad. By 1940 Fritch had a store, a post office and a population of 75.
The construction of Sanford Dam on the Canadian River prompted Fritch to incorporate in
1959. When the dam was completed in 1965, the city had grown to 2,800. Rock Island
abandoned the line through Fritch in 1972, but the energy crisis of the early 1970s caused
increased oil and gas activities and by 1980 Fritch had 31 businesses and 2,299 people.
The National Park Service headquarters for Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is in
Fritch and Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, is near Fritch in Potter County.

Recent deaths of kids in
hot cars prompt pleas to parents
DALLAS (AP) — The
deaths of four children
in hot cars in recent days
has brought the number
across the U.S. this year
to at least 23, nearly
matching the total for all
of last year and prompting experts to plead
for vigilance and warn
parents that it can happen
to anyone.
“It just breaks your
heart,” said Janette Fennell, founder and president of KidsAndCars.
org , a national child
safety nonprofit based
in Philadelphia. “We’ve
done so much to try to get
the word out and maybe
that’s why last year was
down a bit but this year is
not looking very good.”
Four-year-old Samaria
Motyka died on Friday in
Williamsport, Pennsylvania after her caregiver
drove to work instead of
taking her to day care. In
Dallas, 2-year-old Boi Lei
Sang died after being left
in a hot car in a parking
lot Sunday while his family was in church.
Fennell, whose organization tracks such deaths,
said the number began
dramatically rising in the
1990s with the passing of
laws requiring that young
children be placed in the
back seat to avoid air-bag
injuries. “The problem is,
when you are out of sight,
you can be out of mind,”
said Fennell, adding that
infant and toddler seats
now are rear-facing.
The numbers of heatstroke deaths of kids in
cars fluctuated in the following decades, averaging 37 such deaths a year
since 1998. Last year,
with about two dozen
deaths, was an unusually
low year. The worst was
2010, with 49, according
to both a count by Fennell
and Jan Null, a research
meteorologist at San Jose
State University, who also
Sanders supporters: Unmoved
by plea to support Clinton
PHILADELPHIA
(AP) — Unmoved by
Bernie Sanders’ plea for
party unity behind Hillary
Clinton, several hundred
Sanders supporters chanting “Bernie or bust!” took
to the streets under the hot
sun Tuesday for another
round of protests on Day 2
of the Democratic convention.
They held a midday
rally at City Hall, then
made their way down
Broad Street to the convention site. By early evening,
a crowd of thousands
had gathered outside the
subway station closest to
the Wells Fargo Center as
the delegates inside the
hall were on the verge of
nominating Clinton for
president.
The crowd consisted of
an assortment of protesters espousing a variety of
causes, but mostly Sanders
supporters and other Clinton foes on the left. Some
gathered around a radio to
hear what was happening
inside the hall, and when
Clinton’s name was placed
in nomination, a chant of
“Nominate Sanders!” went
up.
Earlier in the day,
participants at the rally
charged that Sanders was
cheated out of the nomination by Clinton, and they
said they weren’t swayed
by his Monday night plea
to his supporters to fall in
line behind Clinton for the
good of the country.
“He persuaded no one
to vote for Hillary,” said
Greg Gregg, a retired
69-year-old nurse from
Francois Molins said the
other hostages were used
as human shields to block
police from entering. One
86-year-old parishioner was
wounded.
The two attackers were
killed by police as they
rushed from the building
shouting “Allahu Akbar,”
Molins said. One had three
knives and a fake explosives belt; the other carried
a kitchen timer wrapped in
aluminum foil and had fake
explosives in his backpack.
One of the assailants was
identified as Adel Kermiche,
a 19-year-old who grew
up in the town and tried to
travel to Syria twice last
year using family members’
identity documents, but was
arrested outside France and
handed preliminary terrorism charges.
Kermiche was put under
house arrest with an electronic surveillance bracelet
after a judge overruled
prosecutors and agreed
to free him, Molins said.
However, the bracelet was
deactivated for a few hours
every morning as part of
the surveillance agreement,
Molins said — hours that
corresponded to the time of
Tuesday’s attack.
A statement published by
the IS-affiliated Amaq news
agency said Tuesday’s attack
was carried out by “two
soldiers of the Islamic State”
who acted in response to
calls to target nations in the
U.S.-led coalition fighting
tracks numbers .
Not surprisingly, states
with warm climates all
year and large populations had the most hot
car deaths since 1990.
Fennell said that there
have been 111 hot car
deaths in Texas, followed
by Florida with 80 and
California at 54.
The temperature inside
a parked car on a 90-degree day will reach 119
degrees in 20 minutes and
133 degrees after an hour,
Null said.
Parents should get
into the habit of always
opening their back doors
when they leave the
vehicle, according to Fennell. Leaving a purse or
cellphone in the back seat
can help. Other strategies
include keeping a stuffed
animal in the car seat and
placing it in the front seat
when the child is strapped
in as a reminder that the
child is there. Parents also
need to make sure their
day care calls them if the
child doesn’t show up,
she said.
“It happens to the very
best of parents,” Fennell said. Sleep-deprived
parents become distracted
because of a change in
routine or thinking about
what needs to be done at
work.
“It is going to take
technology to startle
someone out of autopilot,” she said.
In an industry first,
General Motors will have
as a standard feature in
their 2017 GMC Acadia
sport utility vehicle a
system that monitors its
rear doors to remind driv-
ers who have just parked
to check their rear seats if
they’d opened rear doors
at the start of their trip.
She also noted that
there is a child seat for
sale that alerts the driver
if they are leaving the car
and the child seat is still
buckled.
But Null said he
doesn’t believe technology is a panacea, noting
that even if new cars were
required to have reminder
systems, it would be a
slow process for everyone to get that new of a
vehicle.
“It would be a help, but
the biggest thing is education and awareness,” Null
said, noting his analysis
shows about 30 percent of
the deaths are the result of
kids getting into unlocked
cars on their own.
hoo-rah,” he said. Carter,
a Dallas resident, said
he doesn’t fear a Donald
Trump presidency: “I’ve
lived under nine white
presidents in my lifetime.”
With temperatures
climbing again toward the
mid-90s, Chris Scully, a
28-year-old an engineer
from Troy, New York, held
a “Jill Before Hill” outside
City Hall and said he opposes Clinton because of
her war record as secretary
of state.
As Scully spoke, a passer-by called out: “That’s a
vote for Trump!”
A separate protest, this
one against police brutality
and racial injustice, took
shape in north Philadelphia
near the Temple University
campus, where about 500
people began marching
down Broad Street toward
City Hall. The marchers
planned to link up with the
“Bernie of bust” demonstrators.
Protest leader Erica
Mines told the crowd it
was an “anti-police rally”
and a “black and brown
resistance march” and
instructed all white people
to move to the back.
The crowd chanted,
“Don’t vote for Hillary!
She’s killing black people!”
March participant Tiara
Willis, 24, of Philadelphia,
said she subscribes to the
slogan “I’m with her ...
I guess,” explaining that
she supports Sanders’ call
to back Clinton. She said
she won’t back Trump and
called Clinton “the lesser
of two evils.”
Police estimated 5,500
people took part in Monday’s opening-day protests.
Many of the marchers
chanted, “Hey, hey, ho, ho,
the DNC has got to go!”
and carried signs reading
“Never Hillary,” ‘’Just Go
to Jail Hillary” and “You
Lost Me at Hillary.”
The Vatican spokesman, the
Rev. Federico Lombardi,
said in a statement that Pope
Francis expressed his “pain
and horror for this absurd
violence, with the strongest
condemnation for every
form of hatred and prayer
for those affected.”
The town’s mayor,
Hubert Wulfranc, in tears,
denounced the “barbarism” and, breaking down,
pleaded, “Let us together be
the last to cry.”
A somber quiet surrounded Saint-Etienne-duRouvray, a suburb of the
medieval city of Rouen
composed of genteel residential neighborhoods and
working-class quarters with
massive apartment blocks.
The cluster of towns
near Rouen had already
been linked to the Islamic
State group. A micro-cell
of recruits from the area
included a Frenchman seen
cutting the throat of a Syrian
soldier in a November 2014
video. Maxime Hauchard
was among at least four
people who met at a local
mosque and later left to join
the extremists.
The violence appears
unlikely to slow soon because the IS reaps benefits
even when attackers have
no particular connection to
the extremists fighting and
losing territory in Iraq and
Syria.
“ISIS seeks to recreate the same image that
helped it attract thousands
of foreign fighters to Syria
and Iraq and elsewhere,”
said Michael Horowitz, an
analyst with the Levantine
Group security firm. “The
pace of these attacks is
aimed at painting ISIS as an
omniscient group capable
of humiliating the West, and
defying expectations.”
Tuesday’s attack renewed
fears of social and religious
tensions in France. Support is rising for the antiimmigrant far right, and the
country’s millions of moderate Muslims fear a backlash
— fears IS has been feeding
with a constant stream of
propaganda.
“It’s a shot directly at
Western Christianity,” said
Daniel Shoenfeld, an analyst
with the Soufan Group. “It’s
this effort by the Islamic
State and their supporters
to drive a further wedge
between broader Western
society and Muslims.”
The Rev. Alexandre Joly,
who knew the slain priest,
said “If we are afraid, they
have won. They must not
win. ... We must not enter in
the game of fear, of rejection.”
France’s security services
are stretched after eight
months under a state of
emergency imposed following attacks in November in
Paris. They’ve been under
new strain since an attack
in the southern city of Nice
on Bastille Day — July 14
— that killed 84 people and
was claimed by IS.
French authorities
increased security at places
of worship after attacks in
Paris last year, but ensuring
constant, blanket security is
difficult in a country with
a church in every town and
village.
National
Salem, Oregon. He said he
intends to cast his ballot
for Green Party candidate
Jill Stein, quoting the turnof-the-last-century socialist
labor leader Eugene Debs
as saying, “I’d rather vote
for what I want and lose
than what I don’t want and
win.”
For a brief period Tuesday afternoon, “Bernie or
bust” demonstrators who
set out for the convention
site by subway were forced
by police to get off one
stop short of their destination. In a crowd-control
measure that was also
used the night before, only
passengers with media
or convention credentials
were allowed to ride all
the way to the Wells Fargo
Center.
On Monday evening,
IS group claims attack that
killed 85-year-old French priest
SAINT-ETIENNE-DUROUVRAY, France (AP)
— The Islamic State group
crossed a new threshold
Tuesday in its war against
the West, as two of its followers targeted a church in
Normandy, slitting the throat
of an elderly priest celebrating Mass and using hostages
as human shields before
being shot by police.
It was the extremist
group’s first attack against
a church in the West, and
fulfills longstanding threats
against “crusaders” in
what the militants paint as
a centuries-old battle for
power. One of the attackers
had tried twice to leave for
Syria; the second was not
identified.
“To attack a church, to
kill a priest, is to profane the
republic,” French President
Francois Hollande told the
nation after speaking with
Pope Francis, who condemned the killing in the
strongest terms.
The Rev. Jacques Hamel
was celebrating Mass for
three nuns and two parishioners on a quiet summer
morning in Saint-Etiennedu-Rouvray when the
attackers burst in and forced
the 85-year-old priest to
his knees before slicing his
throat, according to authorities and a nun who escaped.
The nun described seeing
the attackers film themselves
and give a sermon in Arabic
around the altar before
she fled. Paris prosecutor
Texas
Borger News -Herald
police cited 54 people for
disorderly conduct for trying to climb the barricades
outside the convention
center during a pro-Sanders protest that reflected
the tensions inside the
hall between the Vermont
senator’s supporters and
Clinton’s.
The Sanders camp was
angered when a trove of
hacked emails released
over the weekend showed
that officials at the supposedly neutral Democratic
National Committee played
favorites during the primaries and worked to undermine Sanders’ campaign.
Black Men for Bernie
founder Bruce Carter said
Monday’s speeches from
Sanders and Massachusetts
Sen. Elizabeth Warren did
not persuade him to support Clinton.
“They really agitate
people more every time
they stand up and do the
Hillary Clinton, hoo-rah
World
the extremist group in Iraq
and Syria.
Haras Rafiq, managing
director of the Quilliam
Foundation, described the
attack as a turning point.
“What these two people
today have done is ... shifted
the tactical attack to the
attack on Rome ... an attack
on Christianity,” he said.
He warned that it could
“radicalize people from both
sides of the communities.
Muslim and non-Muslim.”
As Europe becomes painfully inured to a summer
of repeated bloodshed, the
extremists are looking for
greater ways to shock, Rafiq
said. “This is going into a
house of God. This is attacking and killing a priest.”
“We’ve been talking
about the danger of the
global jihadist insurgency.
This is what it looks like,”
he said.
The increasing speed
with which IS has claimed
responsibility and the growing number of attacks this
summer have left Europe
alarmed and fearful.
Targeting a church in the
rural Normandy heartland
resonated with France’s
leadership and Christians
across Europe. While France
is officially secular and
church attendance is low, the
country has deep Catholic
roots. Islamic State extremists have urged followers to
attack French churches and
the group is believed to have
planned at least one earlier
church attack that was foiled
when the assailant shot himself in the leg.
The slain priest had been
at the church for the past decade and “was always ready
to help,” said Rouen diocese
official Philippe Maheut.
“His desire was to spread
a message for which he
consecrated his life,” Mahut
told The Associated Press.
“And he certainly didn’t
think that consecrating his
life would mean for him to
die while celebrating Mass,
which is a message of love.”
A nun who escaped said
the priest was forced to the
ground before his throat was
slit. “They forced him to his
knees. He wanted to defend
himself. And that’s when the
tragedy happened,” said the
woman, identified as Sister
Danielle, speaking on BFM
television.
She said the attackers
filmed themselves. “They
did a sort of sermon around
the altar, in Arabic. It’s a
horror.”
One person, a minor, was
arrested in the investigation.
Molins said he is believed to
be the 16-year-old younger
brother of someone wanted
by authorities for trying to
go to Syria or Iraq in 2015.
Hollande, visiting the
scene of Tuesday’s slaying,
denounced what he called
“a vile terrorist attack” and
one more sign that France is
at war with the Islamic State
group, which has claimed
multiple attacks on France
over the past year and a half,
and two in Germany over
the past week.
The pope condemned the
attack in the strongest terms.

Houston officers shoot,
injure man with pellet gun
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston police say two officers shot and injured a man who
disregarded orders to drop a weapon that turned out to be a pellet gun.
Police spokesman John Cannon tells the Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/2a6A7ru
) the officers were responding to a call of a man waving a gun near the University of
St. Thomas on Sunday afternoon.
Cannon says the officers began talking to the man, who didn’t respond. He says
the man ignored commands to raise his hands when one officer spotted a gun in his
waistband. When the man reached for his waistband, the officers fired, hitting him
more than once.
The man was taken to a hospital in critical but stable condition.
Cannon says the pellet gun looked like a handgun and showed it to reporters.
Man killed by police in San
Antonio after domestic violence call
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Authorities say a man who was shot by San Antonio
officers during a domestic violence call has died.
The San Antonio Express-News reports (http://bit.ly/2asJvep ) that Steven Alfred
Longoria died Saturday morning from a gunshot wound to the hip. He had been shot
in the early hours Saturday as police responded to a complaint that he had assaulted
his girlfriend.
Police said Longoria started shooting at officers as soon as they arrived.
Longoria’s girlfriend was injured in the gunfire, though it’s not immediately clear
who shot her. She was hospitalized.
Two officers involved in the incident are on administrative leave.
Shooting at Texas apartment
complex leaves four dead
BASTROP, Texas (AP) — A shooting at a Texas apartment complex on
Saturday left four people dead including the suspected shooter, police said.
Bastrop Police Det. Vicky Steffanic said at a news briefing that the dead
were one man, two women and a child.
Another child was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life
threatening, she said.
“The shooter is among the dead and there is no further threat to the public,”
Steffanic said.
The identities of the dead are not being released pending notification of
family.
Steffanic declined to comment on a motive for the shooting.
At least one nearby resident told the Austin American-Statesman that those
found dead were residents of the complex.
Police initially said there could be as many as five dead, but that was later
revised to four when it was determined that the suspected shooter was among
the fatalities.

ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Try to avoid disputes about money
and possessions today, because they
will be brief but nasty. Since they will
be brief, they’ll be over quickly. Hang
in there.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Tread carefully today because people’s emotions are volatile! It’s easy to
get upset with others or suddenly have
an argument. (This especially applies
to close friends and partners.)
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
You might be doing a slow boil behind the scenes for some reason today.
Do your best to just let it pass. Things
will get worse if you make a big deal
about them.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
An argument with a friend, especially a female acquaintance, might
break out today. Just remember: Patience is the antidote to anger. Remedy: Generously apply patience.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Squabbles with parents, bosses
and authority figures are hard to avoid
today. (This includes the police.) But
who needs this? Not you. Therefore,
zip thy lip.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Avoid controversial subjects like
politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will quickly deteriorate into a nasty argument. Forewarned
is forearmed.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
This is not an ideal day to discuss
inheritances or how to divide or share
something, because it will be tough to
reach an agreement. Postpone this discussion for another day.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
With Mars in your sign now, you
are feisty! (Scorpio is never a wimp.)
Use diplomacy and patience when
dealing with partners and close friends
-- for the sake of everyone.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
An argument with someone at
work might break out today. Remember your long-term objective, which is
that you want to get along with these
people in the future, right? Connect
the dots.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Parents will have to be patient with
children today, because hissy fits and
meltdowns are likely. Romantic partners must be patient with each other
as well.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Avoid domestic arguments today.
Get out of the house and wait till this
volatile influence passes. Oy!
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbors could be challenging today, because someone is looking
for a fight. Do what you can to keep the
peace and make your life easier.

Olympic boxers to fight
without headgear, worry about cuts
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP)
— Although Antonio Vargas still thinks
about the cut that nearly ended his
Olympic dream, his unprotected head
will be clear when he steps into the ring
in Rio de Janeiro.
Vargas grew up sparring and competing in protective headgear, so he had
never been cut in a fight before his face
split open in that bloody loss at the U.S.
Olympic team trials seven months ago.
The gifted flyweight from Florida had to
fight his way back through the challengers' bracket, surviving to earn a spot on
the team.
Cuts haven't been a major concern
in Olympic boxing since 1980, but they
will be a constant danger in Rio, where
the 250 male fighters will box without
headgear for the first time since Moscow.
Fighters have had three years to
adjust to the change, and they've adapted
with the same tenacity that made them
boxers in the first place.
"I'm always going to do what I have
to do," Vargas said. "I don't think it's
really changed my style. I'll still have
the same style going into the Olympics.
I just have to be careful."
The International Boxing Association
(AIBA) made a highly visible alteration
to its sport when it removed the headgear ahead of the 2013 world championships. Many fighters are excited for fans
to see a sport that looks more like the
pros, but the move is still criticized by
other fighters and coaches who believe
safety has been made secondary to appearance, particularly because of the
high potential for cuts in a short, multifight tournament.
"I don't think it was a good idea,
taking off the headgear, because we're
still amateur," U.S. light flyweight Nico
Hernandez said. "I got cut on both eyes
before. I got stitches and stuff from
head-butts. I just don't think it's as safe
for the amateur boxers. But I also like it,
because you can have more peripheral
vision and you don't get as hot. I've had
a lot of fights without now, so I'm used
to it."
The bulky protective pads were
placed on Olympic fighters' heads in
1984 because organizers wanted to improve safety, and they've been pulled off
the fighters heading to Rio for ostensibly
the same reason.
Decade after retirement, Smith gets into Pride of Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Retired NFL receiver Jimmy Smith, whose
life has been defined as much by drug
addiction as football production, will be
the next member of Jacksonville's ring
of honor.
The team announced Tuesday that
Smith will be inducted into the Pride of
the Jaguars during halftime of its Dec.
11 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Smith will join offensive tackle Tony
Boselli (2006), original owners Wayne
and Delores Weaver (2011), running
back Fred Taylor (2012) and quarterback
Mark Brunell (2013) in the Pride.
The 47-year-old Smith is the franchise's all-time leader in receptions
(862), receiving yards (12,287) and receiving touchdowns (67). He still holds
11 team records, including most consecutive games with a reception (86).
"There is no question that Jimmy
Smith was one of the best players to
ever wear a Jaguars uniform," owner
Shad Khan said in a statement. "His
contributions in the early years were
critical to the success the Jaguars
enjoyed during that time. The fact that
most of his records have stood for 10
years without being surpassed underscores what a great player he was. I wish
I had personally seen Jimmy play more
frequently, but I am very happy that we
will appropriately honor him at EverBank Field in December."
Known for his ability to out-muscle
or outrun defenders, Smith likely would
have been among the first inductees into
the Pride. But a number of arrests, including several on drug charges, delayed
his inclusion.
Smith abruptly retired in May 2006
after 12 NFL seasons and denied speculation that he was facing a yearlong
suspension for another violation of the
league's substance-abuse policy.
Smith was arrested three times in
Jacksonville (2001, 2008 and 2009) on
DUI and drug charges, and suspended
four games in 2003 for violating the
league's substance-abuse policy. He
was arrested twice more in Mississippi
(2010, 2012). His last one violated his
probation and landed him a six-year
sentence. He was placed on house arrest
in 2013 and released a year later. He
remains on parole until March 10, 2017.
"Had I not gone through some of
the off-the-field issues, I wouldn't be
the person that I am today," Smith said
during a conference call. "I've definitely
matured and learned from my mistakes
and I'm able to help that other guy who
may be struggling with the same issues
that I've struggled with in my life.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP)
— Star return specialist Devin Hester
was released by the Atlanta Falcons on
Tuesday following an injury-shortened
2015 season.
The 33-year-old Hester is a three-time
All-Pro who set an NFL record with 20
career returns for touchdowns. He began
his career with the Chicago Bears before
signing a three-year, $9 million deal
with Atlanta before the 2014 season.
A turf toe injury knocked out most
of his season in 2015. He had 269 total
return yards during the last five games
of the year. He had surgery in January,
preventing him from full participation in
offseason workouts.
General manager Thomas Dimitroff
said the decision to release Hester —
two days before the first practice of
training camp — was about more than
the toe injury.
"He passed his physical," Dimitroff
said Tuesday. "It was a football decision
for us at the very end. Not to be evasive
about it, we wish him all the luck. We
think it's best for the organization for us
to move forward."
Coach Dan Quinn said wide receiver
Eric Weems will continue to work on
punt and kickoff returns. Wide receivers
Justin Hardy, Nick Williams and Devin
Fuller, a rookie, also will compete on
punt returns. Running back Tevin Coleman, the top backup to starter Devonta
Freeman, is an option on kickoff returns.
The long list of candidates on returns
was a factor in the move.
"We've got some guys we're pretty
pumped up about to see what they can
do," Quinn said.
Hester apparently saw his release
coming. On Wednesday, he posted
on his Twitter account "That look
on your face when they count you
out!!!!!#motivation"

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas
Rangers slugger Prince Fielder is expected to have season-ending neck surgery
for the second time in three years, and his
career could be jeopardy as well.
Fielder got a second opinion Monday,
and general manager Jon Daniels said
Dr. Drew Dossett recommended surgery.
That was the same as Dr. Robert Watkins
in Los Angeles said last week after an
MRI showed a herniation between Fielder's C4 and C5 disks.
While Daniels didn't want to speculate
on the long-term future for the 32-yearold Fielder, the GM did acknowledge the
seriousness of having a second surgery in
close proximity to the first.
"He rehabbed once from it and came
back. I think with each additional surgery
in that area it increases the risk involved
and just the overall, his ability to get
back," Daniels said. "But it's not for me
to speculate about that here today."
Dossett, a specialist in Texas who
works with the Rangers, performed
Fielder's surgery in May 2014 when he
had a cervical fusion of two disks just below the area that is bothering the slugger
now.
Fielder has hit a career-low .212 with
eight homers and 44 RBIs in 89 games
this season. He had recently been feeling
weakness and discomfort in his neck and
left arm, similar to what he felt two years
ago before surgery.
"I just know that post-All-Star break
last year and through the playoffs, and
then just kind of inconsistency of this
season, there were times he'd show you
a spark or two, and then it would just
kind of evaporate," manager Jeff Banister said. "There were times when the ball
still came off his bat at 100 miles an hour.
But I don't know this season that this was
who we'd seen in the past."
Daniels said it seems like Fielder was
feeling discomfort for some time before
the MRI last week after acknowledging
that there was an issue.
"I think he just wanted to play, and
wanted to push through it," Daniels said.
Fielder wasn't in the clubhouse before
Monday night's home game against Oakland.
The Rangers got Fielder in a November 2013 trade from Detroit, when they
sent second baseman Ian Kinsler to the
Tigers. Fielder, who is in his 12th major
league season, is signed through 2020.
Fielder was limited to 42 games during his Rangers debut in 2014, when he
hit .247 with three homers and 16 RBIs.
Fielder rebounded with a .305 average,
23 homers and 98 RBIs in 158 games last
year, but fell off a bit the second half of
the season.
Fielder has been primarily the designated hitter for the Rangers. He had
played in 547 consecutive games and
hadn't missed consecutive games since
August 2007 before his surgery two
years ago.
"Obviously, Prince is a big part of this
team. We know what he can do," third
baseman Adrian Beltre said. "He was a
great asset for us last year. We're going to
miss him, but hopefully he'll get right."
NFL, players union announce
new game-day concussion protocol
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL and
the players association have announced a
new policy regarding game-day concussion protocol and discipline for clubs that
violate the procedure.
Under the new policy jointly announced Monday, the NFL and NFLPA
"will follow a strict and fair process to
investigate incidents and determine appropriate discipline, including club fines
and possible forfeiture of draft picks."
The league and the players union will
each designate a representative to monitor the implementation of the protocol
and investigate potential violations. The
probe won't reach medical conclusions;
it will only determine if the protocol was
followed. An arbitrator will handle cases
where the league and union disagree and
report to the commissioner.
Commissioner Roger Goodell retains
sole discretion in determining penalties
for violations of the game-day concussion protocol.
A first breach will require club employees or medical team members involved
to attend remedial education and/or result in a maximum $150,000 fine against
the team. Clubs will be fined a minimum
$100,000 for subsequent violations.
There are additional penalties if the
violation involves aggravating circumstances, and the commissioner may impose more severe financial penalties and
require clubs to forfeit draft picks if it's
determined that a club's medical team ignored protocol for competitive reasons.
Earnhardt’s return to NASCAR could take more time
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dale
Earnhardt Jr. warned Monday that his return to NASCAR could take longer than
planned.
NASCAR's most popular driver is
scheduled to miss his third consecutive
race this Sunday with concussion-like
symptoms. On his weekly podcast, he
said he will have another evaluation soon
to see "what kind of gains we've made and
get in front of my doctors . and let them
tell me where they think I'm at and that
will help us make the decision on what
we're going to do for Watkins Glen."
Jeff Gordon came out of retirement
to drive for Earnhardt on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Gordon
will race the No. 88 car again this weekend at Pocono. No decision has been
made by Hendrick Motorsports about
next month's race at Watkins Glen.
Earnhardt said on last week's podcast
he was struggling with balance and nausea, and said Monday doctors have given
him daily exercises to improve his balance.
"That stuff takes about two hours, two
and a half hours," he said. "I've got to do
it every day. There's worse things to have
to do. Some of it is tedious. Some of it is
pretty tough. Some of the visual stuff is
pretty tough.
"You can race with some ailments.
You can race with a bad wrist ... there's
been some guys that have done some
pretty incredible things. I've raced with
a broken shoulder blade. There's certain
things you can race through, but one of
the things you cannot race through is
concussion-like symptoms. The balance
deal is a critical part of being able to
drive a race car."
Earnhardt also asked his fans to thank
Gordon for taking over. Gordon was on
vacation in France with his family when
team owner Rick Hendrick asked him to
drive for Earnhardt.

NFL investigating
possible Aldon Smith video
ALAMEDA,
Calif.
(AP) — The NFL is investigating whether a
video linked to an account
from suspended Oakland
Raiders linebacker Aldon
Smith shows him using illegal drugs.
A video on a periscope
account that has shown
Smith in the past features
an unidentified man off
camera discussing a rolled
cigarette with an unidentified woman. It's not clear
what's in the cigarette and
who the man is. Smith
sent out a tweet Monday
after CSNBayArea.com
reported on the video saying "Good try, not me."
NFL spokesman Brian
McCarthy says the league
is investigating.
Smith is serving a oneyear suspension for violating the league's substance
abuse policy that ends
Nov. 17. He can apply for
reinstatement in September. He gets regularly drug
tested while on suspension.
Astros prospect Bregman gets
call to majors year out of LSU
HOUSTON (AP) — It
was just over a year ago
that Alex Bregman finished his career at LSU.
Now, he's a major leaguer.
Bregman made his big
league debut for the Astros
on Monday night against
the New York Yankees after flying through the minors. He was drafted No.
2 overall in the 2015 draft
and is considered one of
the top prospects in baseball by many.
"It's been a fun last
year," Bregman said before the game. "It's been
everything I could ever
dream of. It's just getting
started now. I'm excited."
Bregman was drafted
as a shortstop but has begun to make the transition
to playing third base and
even left field this season
in the minors. He started at
third base and batted sixth
for the Astros on Monday.
The 22-year-old said he
will play wherever the As-
tros want him, and manager A.J. Hinch said he may
move Bregman around.
"We've tried to introduce him to a couple positions, part of it out of
need," Hinch said. "He'll
be introduced to left field
up here, he will DH, he
can spell some guys up the
middle if I choose to, but
he has to earn it."
Hinch was very complimentary of Bregman,
calling him polished with
a high baseball IQ and a
quick bat.
Hinch wasn't alone in
his compliments of Bregman.
"He's very humble, he
knows how to play the
game the right way and he
knows what kind of player
he is," said shortstop Carlos Correa, who was the
No. 1 overall pick in 2012
and called up midseason
in 2015. "He's going to
contribute in a big way."
Oklahoma’s Hield, Parker
named Big 12 Athletes of the Year
NORMAN, Okla. (AP)
— Former Oklahoma
basketball player Buddy
Hield and OU softball
player Paige Parker have
been named the Big 12
men's and women's athletes of the year.
Hield ended his OU career by average 25 points
and 5.7 rebounds per game
as he helped the Sooners
reach the NCAA Final
Four. He was also named
national player of the year
by several organizations
and was chosen the Big 12
Player of the Year for the
second consecutive season.
The New Orleans Pelicans chose Hield with the
No. 6 overall pick in June's
NBA Draft.
Parker is a sophomore
pitcher who helped OU
to the national championship. She tied a school
record and led the nation
with 38 wins. She had 14
shutouts and was 10-0 in
10 postseason starts for
the Sooners.
Lohse designated for
assignment after 2 starts for Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas
(AP) — Kyle Lohse has
been designated for assignment by the Texas
Rangers after only two
starts.
The Rangers made the
move Tuesday when Nick
Martinez was recalled
from Triple-A Round
Rock to start that night's
game against Oakland.
Lohse has been the scheduled starter for the Rangers.
Lohse lost both his
starts and had a 12.54
ERA for Texas since being called up just before
the All-Star break. He allowed 15 hits and 13 runs
in 9 1-3 innings with three
strikeouts and five walks.
The 37-year-old righthander had gone 2-5 with
a 5.06 ERA in 10 starts for
Round Rock after signing
a minor league deal with
Texas.
Martinez had been optioned to Round Rock
when Lohse was brought
up this month.
