Reproductive rights

Local, national officials react to Supreme Court abortion ruling

By MICHAEL CANTU

S

News Editor

triking down two major restrictions that kept abortions clinics around Texas closed since 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of Texas abortion providers on Monday.

This ruling overturned the restrictions of House Bill 2 that required all facilities in Texas to perform abortions in areas with hospital-like standards, according to The Texas Tribune. As a result, more than 40 abortion clinics in Texas dwindled down to 19 in 2013, according to The Tribune.

This ultimately shut down a Planned Parenthood in Lubbock that was, along with family planning and women’s health services, an abortion provider.

However, many Texas officials were not buoyant with the ruling.

“The decision erodes States’ lawmaking authority to safeguard the health and safety of women and subjects more innocent life to being lost,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in an emailed public statement. “Texas’ goal is to protect innocent life, while ensuring the highest health and safety standards for women.”

Advocates for the bill called for strict medical hospital-like standards, however, many argued that created an undue burden on access to women’s health in general, Tony R. ThorntonTippit, Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays Lubbock, president and LGBT activist said.

Now that these specific portions of the bill were struck down, legally, the closed clinics around the state can re-open, he said. However, this is a challenging notion as most of the clinics have been shut down for nearly three years now and the facilities are not usable.

Safety was the main concern on this issue, according to an official statement from District 19 Representative Jodey Arrington. Citizens ought

to have a right to provide families with the safest and best care, he said.

“We had lots of argument back and forth about, ‘well we’re just doing this to make abortions safer for women and we just care so much about women,’ they (said they were) trying to make it safer for women” Thornton- Tippit said. “But there was nothing, obviously, that they could justify to the Supreme Court about those two issues that made it safer.”

This was one of the main points Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made, Thornton-Tippit said. None of the rules that were imposed made abortions any more or less safe, he said, because abortions are minimally invasive.

When clinics were shut down, this affected a lot of people who were

in need of the services provided by these clinics, he said, mainly because, in the case of abortions, they were not just one-day procedures.

At the moment, those who are in need of these services would need to make a trip to places like Dallas, Colorado, San Antonio — areas that are not close to Lubbock, ThorntonTippit said.

“With the laws the way they are, with a 24-hour waiting period and those things for abortion services, you have to go based on the clinics schedule of what day they do services,” he said. “So if they do services on Thursday — well you’ve got to go Tuesday.”

Along with a waiting period there can also be extra waiting time or follow-up appointments that prolong the procedures, he said.

In the ruling against abortion providers there was also an overlooked minority that many government officials have yet to mention, he said.

“Our Texas abortion bill made it just as difficult for transgendered people to go get an abortion,” Thornton-Tippit said.

“When they have no intention of being pregnant. They’re trying to transition from female to male.”

This created troubling conditions for those who identified as male, but still became pregnant usually in cases of rape, he said. The effects of the bill go far beyond just women, he said.

Regardless of the ruling though, many Texas politicians are poised to fight for what they deem the right to life.

“The fight is not over, next session

we will revisit this issue to ensure both women and unborn children are protected,” Senator Charles Perry said in an emailed statement.

Not all politicians have seen this as a bad thing, though. Hillary Clinton considers this a win on behalf of women’s health.

According to a statement released

by Clinton’s campaign, striking down this ruling has given people access to their full reproductive rights.

“I applaud everyone who flooded the Texas Capitol to speak out against these attacks on women’s health, the brave women and men the country who shared their stories and the health car providers who fought for their patients and refused to give up,” Clinton said in her statement. @MichaelCantuDT

Fire chief discusses firework safety tips

By KODICHI NWANKWO

A

Staff Writer

s festivities for the Fourth of July begin, the Lubbock Fire Department has given tips on how to be safe while using fireworks.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, fireworks cause an estimated 18,500 reported fires in the U.S each year.

July Fourth accounts for onefourth of the fires started by fireworks each year.

In 2014, U.S. hospital emergency rooms saw an estimated 10,500 people for fireworks related injuries, according to the NFPA. Division Chief Steven Holland at the Lubbock Fire Department said people do not think about how much damage a sparkler can do.

“Sparklers burn at about 1200 degrees,” Holland said, “which is hot enough to melt aluminum.”

If those sparks get down into dry grass, Holland said they could potentially start a fire.

The National Fire Protection Association also reports that sparklers alone account for more than onequarter of emergency room firework injuries.

While sparklers are overlooked at times, Holland said it is not the only

danger with fireworks.

“Light and fuses, flames, ambers are all just as dangerous,” Holland said. “Even the one that shoots up in the air may be coming back down as it burns with amber. As it touches the dry grass or brush, it could potentially ignite a fire.”

If you want to shoot fireworks it is important that people know where and where not to shoot fireworks, he said.

“Fireworks are completely illegal within the city limits.” Holland said.

Not only are shooting fireworks within the city limits illegal, but he also said possession of fireworks is also illegal.

“If a person was to get stopped while possessing fireworks within the city limit,” Holland said, “it could be confiscated.”

People can shoot fireworks in the land of an open field but it is important to get the owner’s permission.

“I don’t think a lot of people would be against you shooting fireworks on their property,” Holland said.

“Except people leave all their trash and the land owners have to pick it up and that is where the problems start coming in.”

HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER

HSC, Covenant announce joint venture

By MICHAEL CANTU

News Editor

eginning today, 30 medical students will be the first to take classes with the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Medicine Covenant Branch.

This new branch of the HSC will serve as an alternate training site for medical students who want to stay in Lubbock to serve and experience a community-based medical environment, according to an HSC news release.

Both the HSC and mem-

bers of Covenant Medical Center announced this joint venture as part of the orientation for the students enrolled with the new branch Thursday morning.

“But today represents a significant endeavor in several decades, being named the fourth official site for the training of third and fourth year students” Dr. Robert Salem, Covenant vice dean for medical education, said.

It was around five to six years ago that both Dr. Tedd Mitchell, president of HSC, and Dr. Steven Berk, executive

vice-president and provost of HSC and dean of the school of medicine, came to Covenant administration with the idea of merging the two entities together, Salem said.

Both doctors knew there were resources for additional faculty and students, however there was a need for an additional campus, Berk said.

“If we were going to go from 150 to 180 we needed a place for 30 medical students,” he said. “And a lot of people don’t know this but Dr. Mitchell and I were asked to go to Dallas and Ft. Worth

Trucker accused of keeping sex slaves in semi pleads guilty SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah trucker accused of keeping women as sex slaves in his semi-trailer as he drove across the country struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors Thursday, days before his trial was set to begin.

Timothy Jay Vafeades was charged with luring two women ages 18 and 19 to his truck, then forcibly altering their appearances and grinding down their teeth while holding them prisoner for months.

Prosecutors say he had four other victims in the decades before his 2014 arrest, and their stories would have been evidence in the trial even though the cases are too old for criminal charges.

He now faces up to 20 years in prison under the terms of the deal. He pleaded guilty to two counts of transporting for illegal sexual activity and two kidnapping charges will be dropped in exchange. Sentencing is set for November.

He appeared in court in a gray-striped jail jumpsuit

and glasses, his hands shackled in front of him.

He politely answered the judge’s questions and read aloud a legal description of the charges, but said little else.

Prosecutors hope the guilty pleas are a step toward closure for the victims, Assistant U.S. Attorney Trina Higgins said.

Defense attorneys declined to comment.

The 19-year-old victim knew Vafeades, 56, and voluntarily came to work with him on his truck known as the “Twilight Express,” in 2013, but when she decided to leave he attacked her, prosecutors said.

He trapped her and sexually assaulted repeatedly for six months, forcing her to wear a fake set of teeth while he wore one with vampire fangs, authorities said.

Vafeades was arrested after officers at a Minnesota weigh station noticed bruises on the woman’s face and discovered an old restraining order barring Vafeades from contacting her, according to charging documents.

After his arrest, a second woman went to authorities to report she had been held captive in Vafeades’ truck, according to the warrant.

The 18-year-old woman said Vafeades kept her with him for about three months through threats and violence, forcing her to have sex with him nearly every day, calling her his slave, authorities said.

Vafeades’ lawyers have said the Minnesota arrest was shouldn’t have happened because the protective order was no longer valid. Attorney Vanessa Ramos has asked a judge to bar the evidence seized from his truck, but the judge decided the stop was valid.

Vafeades had four additional victims in the two decades before his arrest, prosecutors allege. He met one woman in 2008 and married her, but started assaulting her after she agreed to go to Utah with him and continued un til she escaped about six months later, according to court documents.

to look at the possibility of additional campuses there.”

With this joint venture, there will be a more efficient way to provide doctors to the medically under-served people of West Texas, he said.

There is also going to be a lot of support from within the Covenant system, as nearly 100 doctors will be helping teach the students, Richard Parks, president and chief executive officer of Covenant Health said.

“One of my staff came into my office the other day and they said, ‘you have to sign all

of these contracts’” Parks said.

“And it was 96 contracts I had to sign with the physicians that were going to participate in this venture. I think that’s pretty remarkable.”

Because the students are going to be working directly with trained medical physicians, they will have a competitive edge over most other medical students.

Mitchell said. However, he also added this is becoming somewhat common around the country, but Tech is the first to begin a venture like this in the state.

The doctor to patient relationship the students would and should have with those they serve is something else they will benefit from, Mitchell said. In an area like Lubbock where there is such a wide service-area, there is to be a lot of friendliness with both parties, he said.

“You are in a service related field where your time is no longer your time, your time belongs to the patients you take care of and to their families,” Mitchell said. @MichaelCantuDT

Tech alumnus reported missing in Alaska Texas Tech alumnus Joseph Balderas was reported missing on Monday in Nome, Ala. Balderas was reported missing after he did not show up for work, according to the Finding Joseph Facebook page.

His car was found along a highway where he was believed to be hiking and mountain running.

A search soon took place, according to the website, involving the local volunteer fire department and a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.

A YouCaring page was set up to help the family pay for further search and rescue operations, according to the website, as well as enlisting aerial support.

The page had raised $24,405 from 237 donors as of Thursday afternoon, according to the YouCaring page, which almost meets the $30,000 goal.

Depending on the outcome of the search, the money will be used to help pay for family travel and

said, “Our mission is to defend this country, and we don’t want barriers unrelated to a person’s qualification to serve preventing us from recruiting or retaining the soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine who can best accomplish the mission.”

When it comes to the safety, Holland said it should always be under adult supervision.

“Never let the children shoot or hold the fire works,” he said.

Holland also said shooting fireworks under the influence of drugs or alcohol can be potentially dangerous because people are less careful than they would normally be.

Another contributing factor of practicing safe fireworks shooting is having a bucket of water at arms reach.

“If you have a fireworks that you light that does not go off after an appropriate amount of time of it sitting there, go ahead and take it and put it in the bucket of water,” he said, “because a small amount of amber in there could still be burning and maybe after 30 minutes, it will ignite the gun powder and start a fire.

Ayobami Onigbinde, a senior mechanical engineer student from Houston, said he would be celebrating July Fourth back home.

About two years ago, Onigbinde said he spent almost $200 buying and shooting fireworks with friends, but this year he has chosen a different and cheaper option to enjoy the holiday.

“This year, I plan on going to the park with my friends and family to watch the fireworks,” Onigbinde said, “It is so much cheaper than buying them and I don’t have to clean up.”

Holland said the best way to enjoy the Fourth of July is to go to the park and enjoy the displays of fireworks conducted by trained professionals.

“It is a safer and a lot less expensive,” Holland said. @DailyToreador

HB2 ruling leads to further political division W

hen the Supreme Court ruled in favor of women and abortion rights on Monday, the state of Texas did not know what to do. With a 5-3 decision, the state’s laws were declared unfair and more harmful than good.

As a female who believes I should have the ultimate say over my body, I support the Supreme Court’s decision 100 percent. They gave me and women around the country our voice back.

Since 2013 when Texas first implemented these new laws, women have lost a significant amount of control over their own bodies. No longer can conservative politics or religion keep people from mak-

ing their own decisions and judge them for their choices.

But the fight for true freedom is not over yet.

Leaders and representatives throughout Texas are voicing their opinions on how harmful the Supreme Court’s ruling will be to the sanctity of life and well being for women.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick tweeted about his disappointment in the decision and that he will continue to fight

to protect women’s health and safety.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement saying the state’s main goal it to protect innocent life and the Supreme Court is undermining states’ rights to protect the health and safety of women.

Other state officials voice extremely similar opinions and say they plan to continue this fight to restrict abortion laws and protect human life rather than women’s power.

What I do not understand is how men who have not and cannot carry a child get to be the ultimate decision makers when it comes to women’s health.

They want to fight back against the Supreme Court

and find new ways to take away women’s power, which is not true representation of the people nor is it fair.

(The Supreme Court) gave me and women around the country our voice back.

For three years, Democrats and Republicans fought over this issue. You would think a ruling from the highest court in the nation would get people to back off a little bit and accept defeat.

Now they are going to push back harder than ever,

and are going to further divide the political party lines.

The focus of the ruling should be how it is a major victory for abortion rights and women’s health. At first it was, but now the story is turning into how big of a loss it is for conservatives.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a most certainly a political issue.

But what it really boils down to is women having a say in their own lives and getting to make decisions for themselves.

The people that rule our nation are supposed to listen to the people and protect their freedom, not take it away.

The Supreme Court’s decision just gives the two main parties something else to

Zika a concern for poor urban areas along Gulf Coast HOUSTON (AP) — The poorest parts of Houston remind Dr. Peter Hotez of some of the neighborhoods in Latin America hardest hit by Zika.

Broken window screens.

Limited air conditioning. Trash piles that seem to re-appear even after they’re cleaned up.

On a hot, humid day this month, Hotez pointed at one pile that included old tires and a smashed-in television with water pooling inside.

It was a textbook habitat for

the mosquitoes that carry and transmit the Zika virus, and one example of the challenge facing public health officials.

“I’m showing you Zika heaven,” said Hotez, the tropical medicine dean at Baylor College of Medicine.

Iowa Supreme Court upholds voting rights ban for felons IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Convicted felons in Iowa may be automatically stripped of their voting rights for life unless those rights are restored by the governor, a divided Iowa Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The 4-3 decision permanently disenfranchises thousands of former offenders and upholds Iowa’s status as one of the most restrictive states for voting by felons.

Democrats and civil-liberties advocates expressed disappointment in a court known for its 2009 ruling legalizing gay marriage and other progressive decisions.

“This ruling means that Iowa will continue to serve

as a notorious outlier when it comes to restricting people’s right to vote,” said Julie Ebenstein, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Voting Rights Project.

Iowa’s top elections official, Republican Secretary of State Paul Pate, praised the ruling, saying it was in line with the constitution and state law.

Felons had long been disqualified from casting ballots and holding public office, although the court had not ruled definitively. At issue was the interpretation of an 1857 clause in the Iowa Constitution declaring that no “person convicted of any infamous crime shall be entitled to the privilege of an elector.”

PET SAFETY

Local vet discusses holiday pet safety

By COURTNEY WINGATE Staff Writer

As the Fourth of July approaches, family and friends gather around to grill, hang out in the backyard and end the night with a fireworks display. People often forget to think about their pets during the show however, and the animals can often panic according to the PetMD website.

Pets typically do not associate the noise, bright lights and burning smell in the air with a celebration, according to the website. To help better protect their animals during the holiday, some of the main things pet owners can do is keep their pets inside or if they go to a fireworks display, leave them at home so they do not panic and try to run off.

George Torres, director of Animal Services for the City of Lubbock, highly recommends pet owners follow these guidelines and contact Lubbock Animal Services first if their pet gets out or runs away.

“In case your pet was to get lost, they should have the

proper form of identification, such as a microchip.” Torres said, “You can take your pet to the Lubbock Animal Shelter to get a microchip for only 10 dollars.”

Keeping your pets indoors or in a confined area such as their crate can keep them calm.

TIM POLK VETERINARIAN If a pet does not have a proper form of identification, Torres said owners can go to Animal Services and fill out the lost card, leaving the pet’s description along with when and where the pet was lost at. Animals without tags will be held for three days until they are put up for adoption he said.

“Pets with ID’s will be held for 10 business day until they will be given a temperament test and health checkup, before being put up for adoption.” Torres said The loud noises are the

biggest concerns for pets, Tim Polk, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center of Lubbock, said, and there are several different ways to keep pets calm when fireworks go off.

“Keeping your pets indoors or in a confined area such as their crate can keep them calm,” Polk said.

Pets that have noise aversion can take prescription medication such as Sileo to calm down during fireworks.

Polk said to consult with a veterinarian on proper medications, including possible over the counter options, to decide what is safe before giving them anything.

Sometimes though, a pet owner cannot prepare for unexpected loud noise that can send pets into panic mode, Polk said, which could lead the pet to harm themselves.

“Take the animal to the emergency animal clinic during after-hours or to your veterinarian during the week, if the animal is injured,” Polk said.

OPERA THEATER

Broadway veteran to star in Tech musical production This fall, the Texas Tech Opera Theatre will bring the classic musical “Phantom of the Opera” to Lubbock.

Tech alumnus David Gaschen will reprise the role of the Phantom. He has previously worked on Broadway and played this role more than 1,300 times worldwide.

Gaschen will come back to Tech as a student, making the show a

student-production.

“I always promised myself and my family that I would do anything and everything I could to promote the name of Texas Tech across the country and across the world, and I made it kind of across the world,” Gaschen said.

“I went to Switzerland, I wore my cowboy hat and my Texas Tech stuff everywhere and people were

looking at me like I was weird and I said ‘you have no idea.’”

Maestro David Cho of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra will conduct the music for the show with Yvonne Racz-Key of Ballet Lubbock choreographing.

Gerald Dolter, director of the Tech Opera Theatre, said some of cast besides Gaschen has been decided, but the remaining spots still

have to be filled and they will be announced in the coming future.

Despite the fact that students are the focus of the show, Dolter said the product will be as high caliber as a professional work.

“The opportunity is before us,” Dolter said. “We are ready to jump quickly and I greatly look forward to my good friend David’s unparalleled work as a re-

turning student at Texas Tech University.”

The show will premier on Nov. 18 and run through Nov. 27 at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Theatre. Presale tickets go on sale to the general public Aug. 1.
