Man found at University Trails identified as student The Lubbock Police Department has identified the man who was found unconscious at the University Trails apartment complex at 2210 Main Street on Sunday as Gregory Avari.

The 24-year-old was identified by family members, who called into the police department to check on his whereabouts, and they confirmed he is a student at Texas Tech, Ray Mendoza, LPD spokesperson, said.

The family was also able to confirm he is a resident of University Trails, but no other information has been released at this time. “(This case) is still under active investigation and there’s no clues as to (his condition),” Mendoza said.

“At least now we’ll have a place to start. Before they didn’t have anything, but now that we know who he is, we can start tracking down his whereabouts.”

As of Wednesday, Avari was listed in stable condition at University Medical Center and is improving, and he is conscious but unable to talk, Mendoza said. Avari’s case is still under investigation and no information has been released as to what caused the assault.

Chris Cook, managing director of Communications and Marketing, said the university hopes Avari has a quick recovery but could not offer any further information.

Avari was found unresponsive at the apartment complex Sunday afternoon and was initially put in serious condition at UMC, according to LPD. He had no source of identification and was unable to be accounted for at the time.

For any tips, LPD encourages people to call its crime line at (806) 741-1000 or its non-emergency line at (806) 775-2865.

Skin safety important during summer

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

While summer is a time for people to enjoy themselves, it is imperative to recognize the risks associated with overexposure to sunlight, and have an understanding of the means to prevent such risks.

“Both acute and chronic injuries to the skin can occur with excessive exposure to UV radiation during the summer time,” Dr. Michelle Tarbox, assistant professor of dermatology at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, said.

Ultraviolet radiation during summer gives

rise to cosmetic concerns such as premature skin aging and medical concerns such as skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, Tarbox said.

“Sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles can start appearing as early as the twenties,” Dr. Ashley Sturgeon, assistant professor of dermatology at HSC, said. “Those are great cosmetic concerns to patients requiring treatments like chemical peels, BOTOX, lasers to correct.

Some are not correctable.”

Skin cancer is one of the most dangerous biological effects of UV radiation, Tarbox said.

For Whom the Bells Toll

Tech alumnus performs carillon concert on campus

By JARROD MILLER Staff Writer

The sound of bells could be heard ringing throughout the Texas Tech campus Tuesday night as alumnus William Balch performed a carillon concert from the 43 bells inside the Administration building tower.

The concert began at 7 p.m., drawing a crowd of listeners around the Double T bench in front of the Administration building. Viewers could also ascend the bell tower and watch as Balch played the campus carillon. Any passerby could also hear the bells as the sound was carried over a radius of half a mile, Balch said.

“It’s a rush to play,” Balch said. “First of all, on this instrument, there’s no such thing as practicing. There is either performing or just not playing, and if you make a mistake then everyone is going to hear it.”

A white pickup truck crashed into the railing under the overpass and Heffron was ejected from the vehicle, according to the Lubbock Police Department.

Tech Athletics confirmed Heffron was the man injured because the pickup was the only vehicle involved in the accident.

A family member of Heffron’s tweeted and said he ruptured his spleen in the accident.

Police are still investigating the accident, according to Tech Athletics.

“We continue to gather information on Kyle’s accident this morning and obviously our primary concern is his health and well-being,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said in a statement. “We have been in contact with Kyle’s family throughout the day. We all expect that he’ll make a full recovery soon.” ➤➤@JeremyK_DT

Report ranks Lubbock as nation’s best city for driving

By JARROD MILLER Staff Writer

Lubbock has been chosen by consumer finance website WalletHub as the country’s No. 1 city to be a driver.

The report pitted driving data from the 100 most populated U.S. cities against each other, analyzing four key areas: costs to drive, traffic and road conditions, safety and driver and car wellness.

According to WalletHub, the report utilized data from different research organizations including the U.S. Census Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Council for Community and Economic Research. The data was analyzed under 21 different key metrics, including average gas prices, average annual traffic delays, rates of car theft and car clubs per capita. These 21 metrics were then categorized under ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

the four key areas.

While Lubbock did not rank No. 1 in any of the four key areas, the WalletHub report showed Lubbock scored the highest average in the specified criteria. For example, Lubbock scored third place in the traffic and road conditions category, right behind Corpus Christi and Reno, Nevada.

This ranking was determined by considering the average annual hours of traffic delays, commute time, days with precipitation and quality of the roads, according to the report.

In regards to the days with precipitation, Texas Tech student Kevin Guerra was a bit skeptical.

Guerra, a senior advertising major from Lubbock, said while Lubbock rarely receives rain or ice, Lubbock drivers are very dangerous when the roads are wet or icy.

Current estimates indicate one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer in his or her lifetime, according to the American Academy of Dermatology website.

It is also estimated that, on average, one American dies each hour due to melanoma, which is a type of skin cancer.

There are several heat damages that can occur during summer time such as sunburns and heat strokes, Tarbox said. Heat strokes can cause serious damage to the body, and patients can have longterm complications such as damage to the brain and the central nervous system.

It is important that people stay well hydrated, stay out of the heat as much as possible and have adequate access to methods for cooling themselves off, Tarbox said.

Often unknowingly, people harm their skin, increasing risks of skin cancer when they choose to tan either indoors in tanning salons or outdoors in the sun.

The development of a tan is our body’s response to DNA damage in our skin cells, so there is, in fact, no such thing as a safe tan, Tarbox said.

“A lot of people think that sun can’t get through any clothing.

That’s actually not accurate,” she said. “A white T-shirt has an SPF of between 5 and 7 depending of the weave of the fabric, but once that shirt gets wet, the SPF drops down to around 3 or 4.”

Sunscreens with an SPF of 30 are recommended, Tarbox said.

Sunscreens should be applied 15 minutes prior to sun exposure and reapplied every two hours or after water exposure or toweling off. A rough measure of the amount of sunscreen required is a shot-glass or golf-ball sized amount to cover the exposed skin — head, neck, face and arms.

People are sometimes concerned about vitamin D deficiency when they think about avoiding the sun, Tarbox said.

“One thing people ask about frequently when sun protection is discussed is vitamin D,” she said.

“They want to make sure that they’re getting enough vitamin D.” However, depending on the time of the year and the latitude, people only need about 15 minutes of sun exposure to make adequate vitamin D for their body, Tarbox said.

Tech researcher begins egg study

The American Academy of Dermatology does not recommend getting vitamin D from sun exposure or indoor tanning, according to its website, since UV radiation from the sun and tanning beds can lead to the development of skin cancer. It recommends getting vitamin D from a healthy diet including naturally enriched vitamin D foods.

Oily fish like tuna or salmon, orange juice, milk, yogurt and egg yolk are all good sources of vitamin D, Tarbox said.

“One of my least favorite statistics, because it’s inaccurate and misleading, is that 80 percent of your lifetime UV radiation happens before age 18,” Tarbox said.

The correct percentage is 20 percent, and there are many meaningful and helpful measures adults can take to improve their skin health, she said.

It is important to consult the doctor when in doubt, Tarbox said.

“If somebody has a skin spot that they’re not sure about, that is changing in shape, color or size, a sore that won’t heal or a spot that has persistent discomfort, it is safest to go and get the spot looked at by their doctor,” Tarbox said.

A Texas Tech researcher will begin a study in August to learn if a certain breakfast food can impact weight loss.

The American Egg Board gave Nik Dhurandhar, chairman of the Department of Nutritional Sciences, a grant to study if eating eggs for breakfast can lead to greater weight loss, according to a Tech news release.

“Through a series of experiments, we were the first to observe that eggs have greater satiety value,” Dhurandhar said in the release, “which likely increases compliance to a weight loss regimen and enhance weight loss.”

The study will begin in August, according to the release, and 20 plussized, healthy women between the ages of 18 and 44 will participate.

During the study, researchers will compare the effects of eating a high-protein egg meal to the impact of eating a lower-protein meal each day, according to the release, while the participants follow a reduced energy diet.

Laredo border agents cancel meeting with Donald Trump LAREDO (AP) — A local border patrol union pulled out of events involving Donald Trump on Thursday as the Republican presidential contender charged ahead with his visit at the Mexican border to highlight his hardline stance on illegal immigration.

Patrol agents had planned to accompany Trump to the border and hold a meeting with him but canceled after consultations with their national union, the National Border Patrol Council, said Hector Garza, president of Local 2455.

Trump stepped off his plane in Laredo and said the union members backed out because they were “petrified and they’re afraid of saying what’s happening” at the border. Dozens of people were on hand, a mix of protesters and supporters.

“Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday.” ~Author Unknown

Some chanted “fuera,” telling him to get out; a supporter waved a sign, “no era insulto,” meaning his remarks about immigrants that touched off a feud with Republican rivals were not an insult.

The businessman and reality TV host planned multiple appearances in Laredo, including an afternoon news conference.

Garza said the union opted out of the Trump visit “after careful consideration of all the factors involved in this event and communicating with members of the National Border Patrol Council.” He said agents had intended to give Trump and the accompanying press a “boots-on-the-ground perspective” at the border.

Trump’s visit placed him a short distance from the volatile Mexican

border city of Nuevo Laredo, and he said he was told he could be exposed to “great danger.”

However, lawmakers and other well-known officials routinely visit the area and tour border facilities at the country’s busiest inland port.

His visit drew strong reaction from some residents of Laredo, which has an overwhelmingly Hispanic population.

Pedro Omar Castillo, 72, suggested that Trump needs the growing Hispanic vote to be successful in 2016.

“But he’s not going to get it because of his words,” Castillo said in Spanish as he walked through a downtown park.

“He is a racist.”

But Karina Villalba, 26, waited for Trump at the airport and held a sign saying “I heard your speech & I am NOT offended.”

A Hispanic oil-field worker, she said she appreciates Trump’s inyour-face tone. “Sometimes honesty hurts,” she said.

Trump roiled the presidential race weeks ago when he branded Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, sparking a feud with his GOP rivals that intensified after his dismissive comments about Arizona Sen. John McCain’s military service in the Vietnam War. From party heavyweights like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to relative newcomers to the national scene like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Trump’s rivals face his tactics of calling out his critics by name, vilifying the GOP establishment and injecting inflammatory rhetoric into the immigration debate.

Efforts made to renovate ‘Tex’ artwork, statue in Canyon CANYON (AP) — A well-known, 47-foot cowboy in Canyon is scheduled to be renovated in the coming months, but not everyone who considers the tall Texan family is on board with the planned update.

The Amarillo Globe-News reports the Canyon Main Street program has raised more than $350,000 to update Tex Randall, the weathered statue that sits just south of U.S. Highway 60 in Canyon, and turn the surrounding area into a park.

“It was wrong to change his look,”

said Judy Kingsberry, the daughter of William Harry Wheeler, who built Tex in 1959 while he taught industrial arts at Canyon High School. “It no longer portrays the cowboy my dad lovingly and arduously built.”

Kingsberry, 71, of Denver, is visiting Amarillo and Canyon over the next two weeks to display a pictorial exhibit of her father’s work, including Tex. Meanwhile, plans for the restoration are well underway.

“His restoration will start late summer, early fall,” said Evelyn Ecker, ex-

ecutive director of Canyon Main Street.

The entire statue will be refurbished and will stay in its location.

“He will be done — as the weather holds up — fairly quickly. We’re talking about less than three months, probably.”

Kingsberry suggested the cowboy be refurbished as the original looked, but without the cigarette that was dangling from his hand and later replaced by a spur, and to add dimples and a wider smile.

“I really hate to say restoration because he’s not going to have a cigarette

in his hands, because he did when he was first built,” Ecker said. “And, of course, he won’t have the mustache that he currently has right now, because he didn’t have one to begin with. He did not have sideburns.”

Jerry McKee, vice president of Rudd-Palmer Co. Inc., said he is excited and honored to restore Tex. “He’s been there a long time, and we wanted to do whatever we could to keep him in place and hopefully make him look like the original cowboy he was,” McKee said.

Police, firefighters, bystanders lift car to save Dallas woman DALLAS (AP) — Dallas emergency responders and bystanders joined forces to lift a car from a motorcycle rider who was trapped following a traffic accident.

Dallas police on Thursday released patrol car video of the July 9 rescue.

Security video from a nearby building shows a car slowing to turn, a motorcycle tries to drive by and there’s a collision. The woman riding the motorcycle ends up beneath the car.

Emergency personnel at first tried using a jack to lift the car, but failed and called for backup equipment. The trapped woman was having trouble breathing.

Patrol car video shows the police officers, firefighters and bystanders lifting the vehicle and the woman is pulled to safety.

Dallas police say the rider was taken to a hospital. She did not suffer major injuries.

“When it rains, drivers think that it is an apocalypse outside and drive 10 miles per hour.

Then, for some reason, drivers think that they can handle [ice] and drive fast. So whenever it is not needed they drive slow, but whenever it is they don’t care,” Guerra said.

In terms of safety, the report named Lubbock the 15th safest city to drive in. This ranking was calculated by comparing accident likelihood compared with the national average, the number of motor vehicle crash deaths and the rate of car thefts, according to the report.

Guerra said he agrees Lub-

bock may be safe in that aspect, but the city remains very dangerous for bicyclers. Guerra said there still remain too few bicycle lanes in Lubbock, and that drivers generally do not look for bicyclers.

Natalie Butler, a senior marketing and management and information systems major from Plano, said she usually feels safe driving around in Lubbock and that traffic is only bad during rush hour, and during games, concerts and other large events. Other than the occasional flooding street, Lubbock streets are safe to navigate if one plans ahead.

“I try not to drive on Friday and Saturdays, and the weekends just in general. Who knows who is going to be out there on college weekends,” Butler said.

In addition to safety and traffic conditions, Lubbock was rated the sixth cheapest city to drive in. This was calculated using the average gas prices, car insurance and maintenance costs. Lubbock ranked second for lowest gas prices, which compared to some cities in California, could be twice as cheap.

Lastly, Lubbock ranked 30th in the “Driver and Car Wellness” rank. According to the report, this rank was calculated by counting Lubbock’s number of auto repair shops, car washes, dealerships and clubs.

Lubbock was followed by Corpus Christi on the overall list of the best cities to be a driver. Taking last place was New York, finishing just behind Washington, D.C. ➤➤@DailyToreador

Bland’s death raises suspicion

PHOTO BY DUNCAN STANLEY/The Daily Toreador CARILLON MUSIC COVERED parts of the Texas Tech campus Tuesday night when alumnus William Balch performed from inside the Administration building tower. The music was carried over a radius of half a mile.

Carillon↵

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The carillon is a musical instrument consisting of at least two octaves of carillon bells played from a keyboard, according to Balch’s guild, The Guild of Carillonneurs of North America. Each carillon bell is a cast bronze bell that contains many different harmonics and overtones, creating the carillon’s distinct sound.

Balch said he practiced three times each day on the carillon during his undergraduate years at Tech. His Tuesday concert included a wide variety of songs, including original carillon music and arrangements of North American folk music.

“The unique thing about this instrument is that it’s a very public instrument, and it becomes the background music for anyone who is walking within a half a mile of this bell tower,” Balch said.

The concert brought together a wide variety of people, including Faraz Harsini, a biomedical sci-

ences doctoral from Tehran, Iran, and Luke Richardson, an aspiring carillonneur from Littlefield. Both have a history of playing the piano or the organ and were interested in seeing Balch play Tech’s carillon.

In his experience playing the carillon, Richardson said it was an interesting instrument to learn.

“It is hard to explain. There were a lot of feelings all at once, because you know that people can hear you if you mess up. So if you have anxiety issues of things like that, you have to get over it really fast, or else it is pointless to play carillon,” Richardson said.

Both are students of Thomas Hughes, professor of organ in the Tech School of Music. While Harsini has taken organ lessons with Hughes, Tuesday night was the first time to try the carillon.

Balch said Tech’s carillon bells were first cast in 1976. The Whitechapel Bell Foundry, a historic foundry based in the United Kingdom, cast the lower bells. For the upper bells, Tech commissioned the Paccard Bell Foundry, a historic foundry located in France.

Although there were no issues with the carillon in Tuesday’s concert, the carillon had to be renovated several years ago due to faulty installation. Balch said a Dutch man named Harmannus Van Bergen, who was going out of business at the time, originally installed Tech’s carillon. Van Bergen cut corners in the installation, causing the instrument to have several weaknesses.

When Tech reexamined the carillon in 2003, it found the structure surrounding the bells to be deteriorating and the keyboard not functioning, Balch said. With support from Tech Provost Bill Marcy and his assistant Carolyn Kennedy, the carillon was successfully renovated in 2005.

The Tech community can hear the carillon played at other Tech events, such as the Carol of Lights and the concerts The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America performs. For more information on concerts, Balch said to check with the Tech School of Music, and for carillon lessons to contact Hughes. ➤➤@DailyToreador

Singer Norwood dies in Texas apartment HEREFORD (AP) — Police say country singer Daron Norwood has been found dead in his Texas apartment.

Hereford police spokesman Capt. Kirsten Williams said Thursday that investigators do not suspect foul play in Norwood’s death. He was 49.

Williams says a cause of death was pending. Norwood’s landlord found his body Wednesday afternoon.

Norwood was last seen Tuesday night with friends. The landlord stopped to check on Norwood, let himself in and found the singer’s body in a bedroom. Williams says the body had no signs of trauma.

The singer had a 1994 self-titled album, “Daron Norwood.” His 1995 album was, “Ready, Willing and Able.” Norwood’s songs included “If It Wasn’t For Her I Wouldn’t Have You,” and “Cowboys Don’t Cry.”

CNN that his office had received an “initial report” from the medical examiner’s office that Bland had marijuana in her system, though he said further toxicology reports are pending. When asked about news reports that autopsy results also show evidence of self-harm, Mathis told CNN he’d been informed it was the “opinion of the medical examiner” that Bland had what appeared to be “cutting scars on the arm.”

A legal assistant for Mathis didn’t return a message from The Associated Press seeking further comment.

The suicide questionnaire also notes that Bland told jailers she had epilepsy and was taking medication for it. But in another document, this one to be filled out by the inmate and signed by Bland, “no” is circled by the question asking if she’s currently on any medication. In a third document, it is checked “yes” that she’s taking medication.

Lambert said the family had no indication that Bland was ever treated for epilepsy. AP left messages seeking comment from Lambert after the jail forms were released.

baby. But the booking papers released Wednesday also indicate Bland did not have suicidal thoughts at the time of her arrest and that neither the arresting officer nor anyone else at the jail believed she was at risk. The documents also contain discrepancies.

One questionnaire says Bland took pills in 2015 in an attempt to kill herself after losing the baby.

A separate form filled out by another jail employee says the suicide attempt occurred in 2014. One form indicates Bland had suicidal thoughts within the past year, another says that’s not the case.

Bland was arrested July 10 and was found dead three days later.

A medical examiner has ruled her death suicide by hanging. Her family and friends dispute the finding.

Texas Rangers and the FBI are investigating. An autopsy conducted by the Harris County medical examiner has been completed and given to Waller County, where officials have not said when it will be released.

Late Wednesday, Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis told

DALLAS (AP) — A woman whose death in a Texas jail has raised suspicions about the official conclusion that she hanged herself told a guard during the booking process that she had tried to kill herself in the past, according to the county sheriff.

Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith said Wednesday that two jailers interviewed Sandra Bland after her arrest. He said the 28-yearold black woman from Illinois told the second interviewer that she was not depressed but was upset about her arrest, which occurred following a confrontation with a white officer who stopped her for a minor traffic violation.

The sheriff said both jailers who spoke with Bland insisted that she appeared fine when being booked on a charge of assaulting a public servant.

The attorney representing Bland’s family, Cannon Lambert, said relatives had no evidence that she ever attempted suicide or had been treated for depression.

Documents filled out for Bland indicate she had previously attempted suicide after losing a

Astros acquire Kazmir from Oakland Tulsa Shock move to Dallas approved OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Athletics have begun their expected changes leading up to the trade deadline, sending left-hander Scott Kazmir to his hometown Houston Astros for a pair of minor leaguers Thursday.

Oakland receives right-handed pitcher Daniel Mengden and catcher Jacob Nottingham in the swap with its division rival — and the Astros received a toptier starter as they chase a playoff berth in the season’s second half. They haven’t been to the playoffs since being swept in the 2005 World Series by the Chi-

cago White Sox when Houston was still in the National League.

Mengden and Nottingham were at Class-A Quad Cities to start the season before being promoted to the organization’s higher-A club in Lancaster of the California League.

T h e A’s m a d e t h e a n nouncement ahead of their afternoon series finale against Toronto, so instead of Kazmir starting against the Blue Jays he was saying his goodbyes in the clubhouse.

Oakland recalled righthander Arnold Leon from Triple-A Nashville to take Kazmir’s

roster spot.

Kazmir went 5-5 with a 2.38 ERA in 18 starts for Oakland.

The lefty had been considered someone the A’s might try to swap before the July 31 deadline.

Oakland acquired Kazmir as a free agent in December 2013 and he was 20-14 with a 3.12 ERA in 40 starts over parts of two seasons for the A’s.

Houston (53-43) began the day in second place in the AL West, two games behind the defending division champion Los Angeles Angels. The Astros were hosting Boston in a night game Thursday.

NEW YO RK (AP) — The WNBA owners have unanimously approved the Tulsa Shock moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area next season.

The Shock (10-8) will finish out the current year in Tulsa. They will play next year at the University of

Texas at Arlington, subject to approval by the Texas system’s Board of Regents.

This was the first season that Tulsa had success on the court winning eight of their first nine games before star guard Skylar Diggins was lost for

the season with an ACL injury. The Shock have lost seven of nine since.

Majority owner Bill Cameron announced his plans to move the team to the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Monday. The Shock moved from Detroit in 2010.

bowl game while Treadwell went down on a pivotal play during a loss to Auburn in a matchup of Top-5 teams in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram has an upbeat prognosis on Treadwell’s return.

“Honestly he looks bigger, stronger and faster than he did before he got hurt last year,” Engram said. “I’m looking forward to him having a big year.”

The Rebels, and whoever emerges as their starting quarterback, are counting on it.

At Alabama, Drake is expected to play multiple roles teaming up with Derrick Henry in the backfield and also lining up at wideout after catching four touchdown passes before his injury.

Losing those players especially had an impact on teams contending much of the season for spots in the College Football Playoff. Alabama still made it in after losing Drake but lost the Ole Miss game in which he was injured and barely squeaked by Arkansas the following week before regrouping.

Ole Miss went 2-2 after Treadwell’s injury. The Rebels were outscored 72-3 in losses to Arkansas and then TCU in the Peach Bowl, where Tunsil went down with a similar injury.

Rebels coach Hugh Freeze said “all signs point to” Treadwell being 100 percent for the Sept. 5 opener against Tennessee-Martin. Losing him was tough to overcome.

“For it to happen like it did — adversity is certainly a teaching tool, but that next week, I don’t know,” Freeze said. “I tried everything in the world, but I didn’t sense that we could rebound from it.”

Other players returning from injury in the SEC include Tennessee wide receivers Josh Smith (high ankle sprain) and Marquez North (torn labrum), who both had their seasons cut short. Florida tight end Jake McGee, a graduate transfer from Virginia, received a sixth year of eligibility after a broken leg in the opener ended his 2014 campaign.

Gators leading tackler Antonio Morrison missed the spring after injuring his left knee in the bowl game against East Carolina. Texas A&M center Mike Matthews missed the Aggies bowl game and spring practice with a broken foot.

LSU safety Corey Thompson is back after missing last season with a knee injury.

The SEC players returning from injury are hoping for good fortune after all the rehab work and time watching their teammates play.

“It’s definitely been a hard road,” Drake said. “I’ve never had an injury to that extent before. Once it happened I had to really realize this wouldn’t be a two- or three-week injury, it’s going to be a four-or five-month injury.

“I still kind of have aches and pains a little bit but it’s all about your mindset, and I’m ready to get back on the field with my teammates.”
