4th on Broadway Change in location brings many to Lubbock parade

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

Moving most of the Fourth of July celebrations from the two locations and conjoining them in and around Lubbock’s Mackenzie Park, Broadway Festivals celebrated its 25th year of the 4th on Broadway parade.

With the goal of keeping annual parade and other festivities free to attendees, the board of directors decided to move the location of the celebration this year, Stephanie Nairn, executive director for Broadway Festivals, said. With plenty of shade and more room for people to walk around and enjoy the day, the park served as a hosting ground to the attendees.

“We wanted to look at how we could keep it going for another 25 years, and how we could keep it free,” Nairn said. “And so the board met and decided to move it all down to Mackenzie Park.”

Before this year the parade was set at a dif-

Lubbock County judge issues disaster declaration Lubbock County Judge Tom Head has issued a disaster declaration for Lubbock County following the severe rainstorms and flooding that impacted the area on May 28. Head submitted a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott to request that Lubbock County be included in the state’s request for a federal disaster declaration.

After the completion of a damage assessment, it was determined that Lubbock County met the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s required threshold of $992,638 to request assistance for recovery efforts, according to a Lubbock County Office of Emergency Management news release.

In a letter to Abbott, Head said that following the severe weather, more than 85 homes and businesses were impacted by flood damages, as well as at least 555 sections of county roads which were closed due to water on the roadway and/or damage from the flood water. The severity of the incident is beyond Lubbock County’s capacity to solve without state or federal assistance, Head said in the letter.

Once Texas determines whether to include Lubbock County in its federal disaster declaration, the Lubbock County Office of Emergency Management will provide additional information for citizens to request assistance.

ferent location, meaning those who wanted to attend the parade, picnic, street dance and other festivities would have to leave and go to wherever those festivities were being hosted, she said. With just one location, the people were better able to stay all day and into the night.

Beginning at 9 a.m. at Broadway and Avenue A, the parade began with sidewalks filled with people. The parade had a total of 83 entries, Nairn said, and there were more than 100 floats and groups walking or riding along Broadway, into Canyon Lake Drive and ending north on Cesar Chavez Drive.

Ending at around 11 a.m. the parade presented a number of different floats and attractions, all very unique. From classic cars and buses to people walking or riding horses, the groups and individuals involved kept with the “Let Freedom Ring” theme.

Same-sex couple granted marriage license after lawsuit DALLAS (AP) — A gay couple has received a marriage license after filing a federal lawsuit against a North Texas county clerk who previously cited her religious opposition to gay marriage in denying the license.

Jim Cato and Joe Stapleton filed the lawsuit Monday against Hood County Clerk Katie Lang, saying they repeatedly had been turned away when trying to obtain a license last week.

The couple was quickly granted a license later in the morning in Granbury, the county seat. The city is southwest of Fort Worth.

The couple’s attorney, Jan Soifer, released a statement saying they haven’t withdrawn the lawsuit and are seeking an agreement from Lang that her office will issue licenses to same-sex couples without delay. They’re also seeking attorney fees.

Lang was not immediately available for comment Monday.

Red Raider Orientation adapts to increasing enrollment

By JARROD MILLER Staff Writer

While Red Raider Orientation has been a Texas Tech tradition experienced by generations of students, an increase in the number of incoming students has changed the way Red Raider Orientation operates. Expanding the number of sessions, increasing student employees and refining the orientation structure has led to a new orientation designed to handle the increasing number of incoming freshmen.

“It has constantly been growing. Larger student populations, larger parent and guest populations,” Zach Manning, Red ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

Raider Orientation director, said.

Red Raider Orientation has experienced a large transformation within the last few years, switching from a large, three-day session into a smaller, strippeddown session, Manning said. As the sessions were stripped down to cover Tech essentials, the Red Raider Camp also has been introduced to provide an atmosphere of student engagement.

Manning said that during the typical two-day session, incoming students cover a wide variety of topics and appointments.

Completing registration, housing, vaccination requirements and Texas Success Initiative means incoming students have

a hectic two days. In addition, incoming students interact with Tech administrators, student organizations and study abroad programs, making the two-day session a packed event.

Though the new two-day sessions may be busy, Manning said they have enjoyed great reception by incoming students and parents. While the previous session structure served around 600 students per session, the new sessions cater to 350 students per session, leading to a smaller, more personal sessions, Manning said.

Red Raider Orientation employs more than 100 student employees, Manning said.

From camp counselors to transfer ambas-

FAX: 806-742-2434

sadors, who aid transfer students, these smaller sessions allow orientation employees to interact with incoming students.

As the three-day sessions have been shortened into busy two-day sessions, Red Raider Orientation has reintroduced Red Raider Camp, a camp that originally ran from 2001 to 2008. By providing a camp specifically designed to introduce students to Tech culture, Red Raider Orientation can provide more orientation sessions, as well as provide a more engaging camp for incoming students, Red Raider Camp student director Devin DeLapp said.

Once the parade was finished, all were invited to go to the heart of Mackenzie Park for the Picnic in the Park where numerous music stages, vendors and other attractions were waiting for all to participate in, Nairn said.

“We have, roughly, 50 vendors that have all kinds of food, snacks, Cokes, water, frozen desserts, that sort of thing,” she said.

“And then we’ve got some arts and crafts vendors.”

Set apart from the food and music, a part of the park named Peddlers Row was where many people went to enjoy arts and crafts as well as different children’s activities.

Included in all of this were many organizations trying to get more people involved in their group.

Being their first year to do this, the Guns Up Volleyball Club, a non-profit volleyball club, was hoping to attract more young girls, Susan Miller, registrar for the club, said. Looking for more elementary school-aged girls to join the group, Miller said there was the hope that from there they will be able to find the country’s next national champion.

“We thought we got good opportunity for the girls to get their names and faces out there and encourage other girls to get active and be involved,” she said. “Obvi-

ously cheer is huge, and basketball is huge, and volleyball is an awesome team building sport that builds young leaders.”

Aside from organizations getting their names out in the open, many food vendors took the same opportunity as well, setting up stands throughout the park serving different types of lunch options for the attendees. To match the many food and drink options being served, there were also seven different music stages spread across the park for people to enjoy as well, Nairn said.

From patriotic brass band music to mariachi, the park heard it all, Nairn said. Playing one of the first sets of the day, Mariachi Amistad was among the many different music groups playing during the picnic, pumping the crowds all around with its traditional sound and catchy beats.

Based out of Lubbock, the group has been playing the 4th on Broadway festival for years, Rick Martinez, group leader, said. Borrowing students from Texas Tech, many of the group’s members are from the Red Raider Mariachi.

Getting invited to the audition to perform, Martinez said this celebration brings a fantastic crowd.

“We (perform) at a lot of events, but we really love performing here,” he said. “We’re very grateful that we get selected to perform every year and we try to give it the best shot we can while we’re here.”

nearby firework displays.

For 25 years, Broadway Festivals has managed to keep the annual tradition free for everyone to enjoy, Nairn said. With year-round fundraising and planning, that was what the organization was able to do.

Tech Teach Across Texas serves non-traditional students

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

Teacher candidates with an associate’s degree can complete their bachelor’s degree as well as earn a teacher certification in one year while staying in their home communities.

Also called the 2+1 program, the Tech Teach Across Texas, a fast track, one-year teacher preparation program, was started in January 2014.

A large number of non-traditional students found it difficult to take courses in the traditional classroom setting, Donna Brasher, associate director of student services for the College of Educa-

tion, said. The 2+1 program is an extension of the campus program that helps such students earn their degrees.

“This program opens a door for them. It allows them to stay at home, and be able to take their classes online, and complete their student teaching and observation in their school district that’s right next door to them,” Brasher said.

The 2+1 program is a clinically intensive program, with a focus on practical learning, she said.

Presently, the program is offered in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, the Hill Country, Fredericksburg and a few other districts in West Texas including Snyder.

“Our biggest goal is to make

sure that our teacher candidates are able to positively affect learning for students in the public school classroom,” Brasher said.

Hilda Jasso, a resident of Dallas, was a bilingual student in the Dallas cohort of the 2+1 program and graduated in December 2014.

Being a mother and a wife, Jasso said she found the 2+1 program to be perfect because she was able to finish her education and start working in just one year, all while staying in her home. “(Jasso) started teaching in Anson Jones Elementary School in January 2015, and she took over a tough class. She was able to go into that class of students and organize that class, gain their respect and

teach them to such a degree that she had the highest gain scores of all of the teachers at that grade level,” Kathryn Button, professional development facilitator for the Tech Teach program, said.

Additionally, the program is extremely helpful in areas such as Snyder, where it is often difficult to hire teachers because the areas are so rural, Button said.

The Tech Teach program is helping such rural areas “grow their own,” she said.

“We have five students (in Snyder) who want to be Texas Tech Red Raiders and want to get a degree from Texas Tech, but they get to stay in Snyder,” Button said.

provide an engaging experience for students. The Red Raider Camp will introduce a few changes this year, including a move from Junction to Brownwood. Altheide said after last year’s experience, word of mouth has helped the camp increase student enrollment.

In regard to how the Tech administration has dealt with enrollment growth, Manning said Red Raider Orientation has been provided with plenty of room to grow. The student enrollment at Tech may continue to increase, but proper staffing and branch cooperation ensures orientation is well equipped to handle the increase.

“I think because everyone has been dealing with it for the past eight years, they have done it well,” Manning said. “I think that we have a lot of great partnerships with different offices and departments on campus.

We want to make this a win-win program for everybody.”

Because Red Raider Camp is voluntary, the students that come are likely to be motivated, ambitious students, DeLapp said. In combination with a staff that is well networked and well trained, the camp aims to provide incoming students with an opportunity to network with each other, as well as current Tech students and faculty.

“You come to orientation, you get advised, you get your classes.

But Red Raider Camp is truly where you understand what it’s like to be a Tech student,” Stefan Altheide, administrator at the First Year Raider Experience, said. “It is really where you get to interact with current students on a more intimate level.”

lege of Education, introduced the Tech Teach program when he came to Tech after 20 years at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University.

Ridley used his experience with a similar teacher certification program at ASU to create the Tech Teach program, Brasher said.

Such a program attracts many non-traditional students — those who are perhaps older and have family responsibilities — who are looking to get a degree and get done quickly, Ridley said.

The demographics indicate numbers of Hispanics, AfricanAmericans and Asians are increasing, creating a need for teachers in such communities, Ridley said.

“Historically, colleges of education have done a terrible job of working with those communities to provide teachers. What we have in our strategic plan is that we will not ignore that problem,” Ridley said.

Moreover, the program is not one where students are not just lectured; there is a large emphasis on practical curriculum, Ridley said.

“We began by just doing the campus program, and then we moved to the 2+1 program, and it is the fastest program,” Ridley said.

“Our campus program is strong, but it’s that 2+1 program that’s really growing.” ➤➤@DailyToreador

Stone, freshmen watch Women’s World Cup final

As the U.S Women’s National Team jumped out to a 4-0 lead over Japan in FIFA Women’s World Cup and eventually won 5-2 on Sunday, Texas Tech women’s soccer coach Tom Stone and his incoming freshman class watched and celebrated.

“I was here with our freshmen.

We had our welcome dinner at the Rawls (Course clubhouse) with all the freshmen in,” Stone said.

“We had dinner and said hi to everybody and turned on the World Cup game right here on campus.

When you get out to that big of a lead, you have to relax and really enjoy the game.”

In addition to preparing for the STONE start of the Red Raiders season, Stone has been serving as a scout for the 2015 U.S women’s national team throughout the spring and during the World Cup tournament, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Stone said he was full of different emotions watching the team play Sunday night because of the work he has put in.

“It was really intense and really enjoyable to be that immersed in the Women’s World Cup and be that close to the team and to be a small part of all the stuff going on around it,” he said. “Every now and then a team would surface that it looked like the U.S was going to play and if that was one of your teams you were kind of on the hot

seat. That happened to me on more than one occasion.”

In 2008, Stone was hired as an assistant coach for the U.S. 20-and-under national team, according to the Tech Athletics website, and he has been involved at the national level ever since.

Stone said one of the best things about the women’s team winning the championship is that it is bringing more attention to the sport in the U.S. ➤➤@JeremyK_DT

Jakeem Grant named to preseason award watch list It was announced on Monday that Texas Tech senior wide receiver Jakeem Grant is one of 44 players to be named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List.

The annual award is given the nation’s most versatile player in college football, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

To win the award, a player must play multiple positions on offense or

defense, have a role in special teams, be a starter and elevate the team with his leadership, according to the release.

Grant is conGRANT sidered to be a versatile player because of his abilities at wide receiver, as kick returner and his elite level speed. He has also

taken limited snaps at the running back position.

During his junior season, he averaged 124 all-purpose yards per game, according the Tech Athletics website, which was near the top of the Big 12 Conference. He caught 67 passes for 938 yards and had 515 kick return yards.

In his career as a Red Raider, Grant has pulled in 165 passes for 2,021 yards

with 17 touchdowns and returned 48 kicks for 1,152 yards and two more touchdowns, according to the release.

He is already one of three players in school history to reach 1,000 yards in kickoff returns, according to the release.

Grant also will look to be a senior leader among a young group of wide receivers. ➤➤@JeremyK_DT

Big moves made, but dealing not complete in NBA free agency (AP) — LeBron James is available. Marc Gasol, too.

That’s two All-NBA first team members from last season still on the market, in case anybody thinks all the best players are gone.

Of course, nobody really believes either is leaving his current club, so teams will have to look at lesser names as they continue filling out their rosters in free agency.

LaMarcus Aldridge came off the board Saturday when he committed to San Antonio, highlighting the holiday weekend fireworks. DeAndre Jordan had already decided on Dallas, placing two of this year’s biggest

prizes deep in the heart of Texas.

The dizzying days after the market opened last Wednesday morning were so busy that it feels there can’t be many good options left, even though contracts can’t even be signed until Thursday.

It’s different than last season, when James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh, the marquee names available, took more than 10 days to make their decisions.

Action has moved more quickly this year, starting with Anthony Davis’ extension in New Orleans that was agreed to just minutes after the market opened. But the dealing isn’t done, and how teams fare in the coming days could pay off in June.

For as well as Cleveland did last summer when it signed James and later traded for Kevin Love, the Cavaliers still had holes in their roster that left them too short-handed in the NBA Finals after injuries set in. So they, like every team, are hoping to load up on low-priced depth.

Here are some other things

to watch: GO WEST: David West is still looking for a team after bypassing the $12.6 million he would have earned next season in Indiana, and his low-post scoring and lockerroom leadership should be appealing to contenders.

RESTRICTED REWARDS: Former top-five picks Tristan Thompson (Cleveland) and Enes Kanter (Oklahoma City) are still available and played well over the latter half of last season. But as restricted free agents their clubs could match any offer, and probably would.

THE (J) SMITHS: After arriving during the season, Josh Smith (Houston) and J.R. Smith (Cleveland) played big roles on teams that made deep playoff runs. But there’s just enough bad to go with the good stuff they do that it probably shouldn’t be surprising that neither is signed yet.

DELLY, LINSANITY, AND OTHER WAYS TO GET THE POINT: Teams looking for help at point guard can consider fan

favorites Jeremy Lin and Matthew Dellavedova — though the Cavs can match an offer for him — along with veterans such as Mo Williams and Aaron Brooks.

OL’ RELIABLES? Amare Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer can still put up good numbers even late in their careers, making them potential affordable options for teams looking for scoring forwards. Other veterans who might have something left include Drew Gooden, Tayshaun Prince and Andre Miller.

ARGENTINA, ARGENTINA: The Spurs are still awaiting word on whether Manu Ginobili will return for one more season. His Argentina national team teammate, Luis Scola, also is unsigned and could follow West out of Indiana.

HEY, THEY WERE GREAT IN COLLEGE: Jimmer Fredette and Tyler Hansbrough, who haven’t found the success in the NBA that made them players of the year in college, are both hoping for another shot somewhere.

Ginobili to return to BMX pioneer found dead in California LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scot not been determined Monday.

Spurs next season (AP) — Manu Ginobili says he is returning to the San Antonio Spurs for a 14th season.

Ginobili made the announcement on Twitter on Monday. The Argentinian will turn 38 later this month and is coming off of a season in which he battled several injuries.

Ginobili averaged 10.5 points in 70 games, his lowest scoring average since his rookie season. But the Spurs need his experience, versatility and playmaking to bolster the depth on a roster that is a little thin following some big expenditures in free agency.

Alexander Breithaupt, who organized bicycle races on dirt motorcycle courses in the early 1970s, becoming a founder of BMX and later a champion and one of the sport’s best known figures, died in California, authorities said Monday.

A body found Saturday morning in a tent at a vacant lot in the desert city of Indio was identified as Breithaupt, Sgt. Dan Marshall said.

Police responded after someone called police to report the body near a shopping center.

Breithaupt, who was 57 and lived in neighboring La Quinta, had been dead for an unknown time, and there were no obvious signs of foul play, Marshall said. A cause of death had

“Scot was one of the key figures in making BMX become what it is today. He would say he was the key figure, because that was the kind of guy he was,” said Craig Barrette, spokesman for USA BMX, which runs the sport’s Hall of Fame, where Breithaupt is enshrined. “He was involved in every aspect of BMX.” Breithaupt was a teenager and a competitive motocross rider when one day he saw a group of kids riding their bicycles in a dirt lot near his home in Long Beach, Calif. He was inspired to organize bicycle races on a dirt track similar to those used by motocross riders.

“Those were some of the first BMX races ever,” Barrette said.
