Sweltering summer

Professionals discuss summer heat and safety precautions

By KODICHI NWANKWO Staff Writer

A

s the middle of summer approaches, Lubbock’s temperature reached an all time high of 107 degrees Fahrenheit within the last two weeks.

According to the National Weather Service, the highest temperature ever recorded in Lubbock was 114 degrees in June 1994. The closest temperature that has come close to reaching that temperature was in July 1940 when the high got to 109 degrees Fahrenheit.

Justin Weaver, meteorologistin-charge at the National Weather Service Lubbock and instructor in the Department of Geosciences at Texas Tech, said temperature is unpredictable.

“Sometimes, the summer the year before would be terribly hot”, Weaver said, “other times, it would just be a regular summer temperature.”

While many professionals believe the winter tells what kind of summer the next year would experience, Weaver said there is no correlation that proves this theory.

The only thing people can do, he said, is to learn to manage and deal with the weather.

“It is important to stay hydrated, even if you are not thirsty,” Weaver said. “This will prevent you from having a heat stroke.”

Heat stroke is a condition caused by overheating body temperature, usually as a result of prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

With high temperatures, Weaver said it is important to avoid the sun if you can.

“If your job requires you to stay outdoors, be sure to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade as often as possible to enable your body temperature to cool down,” he said.

Freddy Rodriguez, sophomore information systems and technology major at Lubbock Christian University, said he once experienced a mild heat stroke.

As a track and field athlete at LCU, Rodriguez said he is required to train even when school is not in session. He runs anywhere from 65 to 75 miles each week.

On one occasion, Rodriguez said he decided to go out running early in the day to get it out the way.

“It was about 1pm in the afternoon,” Rodriguez said, “and as I ran, I realized I was out of breath and I wasn’t even half way to finish my run. I felt weak and sat for a while to slow down my heart rate.”

Rodriguez said he now runs before or after the sun is out to avoid the high temperatures.

“I am grateful I didn’t need medical attention,” he said, but I have learned my lesson.”

In a four-year period one-third of weather-caused deaths were due to extreme heat according to the Center for Disease Control.

“Heat related deaths do happen” Weaver said, “so stay away from the sun if you can.”

CITY

Water service interupption possible near Tech Terrace The City of Lubbock will be performing pipeline maintenance today between 22nd and Elgin to 26th and Elgin, which includes parts of the Tech Terrace neighborhood.

The city will be changing old broken valves to prevent any issues in the future Mike Gilliland with the City of Lubbock said.

Nothing is wrong with the water in the neighborhood currently Gilliland said.

The work will take place between 9 a.m. and noon today, according to Senior Foreman Charles Pierson, and residents located in the area may be impacted by the service.

The three hour window is a an

estimate, but Gilliland said the work could take less than that because the area is already prepared for the work.

While people may not have their water service shut off during the time frame, it is a possibility and Pierson said residents should be prepared to not have water for around three hours just in case.

Some precautions he recommended were to get water and do anything you need to involving water before 9 a.m.

If people have questions about the maintenance work, they should call the Gilliland at 806-775-2600. @DailyToreador

“Whether students are ordering textbooks, electronics or snacks, Amazon will provide a convenient and secure spot for them to pick up their stuff at hours that work with their schedules.”

Since 2015, Amazon has opened

VETERANS

Tech partners up for veterans program Texas Tech University and the Central Texas College District in Kileen have partnered up to commit to the Texas College Credit for Heroes Program, according to a Tech news release.

The program was initially started in 2011 after the passage of Senate Bill 806, according to the release, to help maximize acceptance of college credits for Texas veterans and service members.

“Our partnership with the College Credit for Heroes Program will provide

veterans an excellent opportunity to receive credit for their military training and work exORTIZ perience that applies to their Texas Tech degree program,” Lou Ortiz, director of Tech’s Military and Veterans program said in the release. “The university is committed to helping those who have served our country, and academic credit gained through this program

will provide a shorter path for some veterans to earn their degree.”

This program has succeeded in establishing standard evaluation processes used across the state in order for veterans and service members to receive classroom credit, according to the release.

Program officials, Tech, the Central Texas College District and other institutions are projecting veterans and service members will be able to earn their

associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in an expedited manner, according to the release, which will allow them to transition into the workforce sooner.

However, depending on each degree program it is a possibility that not all military experience and nontraditional learning will be applied as credit according to the release. All transcripts will go through an evaluation process before credits are applied.

thinking about his family, his friends? Because everybody has family and friends. Does he feel good about himself?”

Four people were in the hospital. Two were in critical condition and two in fair condition, said Lisa Sgarlata, the chief administrative officer at Lee Memorial Health System.

All of the other patients were treated and released.

The victims ranged in ages from 12 to 27.

Police said they want to talk to some of the victims who were treated and released from the hospital and haven’t yet spoken with investigators.

“It is imperative that all persons who were involved with this incident come forward so that this incident can be properly documented and statements obtained from all involved,” Mulligan said.

There were two active crime scenes — the club and a street in the area, which also remained closed as police investigated.

The club is in a strip mall that includes a daycare center and is across the street

from a large apartment complex. The shooting happened about 12:30 a.m. Monday, just as the club was closing and parents were arriving to pick up their children.

Syreeta Gary told WFTX-TV her daughter ran to avoid being shot. Her daughter was OK, but her daughter’s friend “got hit in the leg and luckily it’s just her leg,” she said.

“Her dodging bullets and running, dropping in between cars, it’s ridiculous that these kids have to go through this,” Gary said. “They can’t enjoy themselves because you have other people that have criminalistic minds and they just want to terrorize things.”

A post on Club Blu’s Facebook page said there was armed security at the event.

“We are deeply sorry for all involved,” the post read.

“We tried to give teens what we thought was a safe place to have a good time.”

Law enforcement removed some of police tape

by Monday morning, allowing the media and public to get closer to the entrance to Club Blu.

Gunfire at nightclub party leaves 2 dead, 17 wounded

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Gunfire erupted at a nightclub hosting a swimsuit-themed party for teens in Florida, leaving two teens dead and at least 17 other people wounded, officials said Monday.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the violence, but Fort Myers police Capt. Jim Mulligan said the shooting was not an act of terror. Police detained three people and said the area around Club Blu had been deemed safe, Mulligan said.

The slain teens were 14-year-old Sean Archilles and 18-year-old Stef ’an Strawder, police said. Archilles lived about a mile from the nightclub, said his father, Jean Archilles. Archilles said his son loved to play football and basketball.

“He liked to make people laugh. He’s a funny kid.

He’s always joking,” Jean Archilles said.

He said he doesn’t wish bad for the shooter.

“When he lays down in his bed, how is he feeling about what he did? A 14-year-old kid!” Archilles said. “Is he

FBI investigates DNC hacking WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI said Monday it is investigating how thousands of Democratic National Committee emails were hacked, a breach that Hillary Clinton’s campaign maintains was committed by Russia to benefit Donald Trump.

A statement from the FBI confirmed that it is “investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC,” adding that “a compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously.”

Wikileaks posted emails Friday that suggested the

California man

sentenced for trying to aid Islamic State SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge on Monday sentenced a California man to 15 years in prison and supervised release for life after he acknowledged trying to aid and join the Islamic State terror group in Syria.

The case against Adam Dandach, 22, is one in a series involving young men in states ranging from California to Georgia who have been charged with trying to assist Islamic State and other terrorist groups.

Dandach, an Orange County native, pleaded guilty last year to attempting to provide material support to a terror group and lying on his passport application. His lawyer said Dandach could have been given an 80-year prison term if he had been convicted at trial.

Federal prosecutors had sought a 20-year sentence for Dandach, who authorities said had videos of executions and decapitations by terrorists stored on his computer. He also had encouraged terrorist beliefs in online chatrooms and continued to write violent poetry even from jail, authorities said.

Sanders camp wrong in holdouts I

get that there is a certain type of deification one feels when the election season rolls around, but those who are followers of the Bernie Sanders campaign are beginning to hurt more than help.

I was just as angry as the next guy when the numbers came in showing there was almost no more official chance of Sanders receiving the Democratic nomination, I have to admit I like the guy and I like a lot of his policies.

It is hard for me to hide my disconsolation with any type of Donald Trump policies, especially after reading that his poll numbers have escalated to a frightening high, beating out Hillary Clinton.

So image my stupefaction when those who are still on

Michael Cantu is The DT’s news editor and a junior electronic media and communications major from New Deal.

the Bernie train are railing hard against Clinton, which would practically hand Trump the presidency. I think it is time I remind everyone Trump has yet to actually release any type of in depth policy that would actually make any sense to the world.

Those who are still “feeling the Bern” have addressed censures against Clinton that make no sense at all. In order to appeal more to the campaign she beat out to heal the party and claim some type of

unity Clinton has changed or modified her stance on many issues — healthcare, college tuition and debt, etc.

In her attempt to reach out, many have slapped the hand away in stolid defiance, which is nonsensical.

Now I can also somewhat understand the anger some Sanders supporters have with the Democratic National Committee and leaders of the party about recent emails that have come out supporting a coup against the Sanders campaign. However, the priority we all have to keep in mind at this point is to make sure Trump does not get anywhere near the White House.

I’m not being discreet about this, I’m on the Never Trump train.

It is an idiotic thing to take out the rage on Sanders too. It is an adult thing to understand the concept of defeat, however he has aided in getting official changes to the party platform — changes that should appeal to upcoming voter demographics. We should at least be proud of that.

What I am constantly seeing is an epiphany in what people have been saying about Sanders supporters throughout most of the campaign — they are childishly obstinate.

There are supporters out there who are calling Sanders a traitor and other adjectives like such, however they are not looking at the big picture here: This election could see policy changes that could come from the Democratic platform.

It is time voters set aside their hatred for each party or politician and think about policies.

Take the advice of Sanders and go for what is right, not what is loudest.

I’m convinced through Sanders grassroots efforts he has woken up United States voters and told them they have a voice. They do, it is just heard in a different tone and resonates in a different way.

Supporters are underestimating the powers of working from the bottom up. But the evidence is there, as Clinton

UN calls for humanitarian pause in Syria’s Aleppo UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Weekly 48-hour humanitarian pauses are urgently needed in Syria’s Aleppo city where fighting has left over a quarter of a million people trapped and in desperate need of aid, the U.N. humanitarian chief said Monday.

Stephen O’Brien told the Security Council that he could not stress enough “how critical the situation is” in the eastern part of Aleppo, which risks becoming the largest besieged area in the country.

Food supplies are expected to run out in mid-August and many medical facilities continue to be attacked, he said.

“This is medieval and shameful,” O’Brien said. “We must not allow this to hap-

pen. But the clock is ticking.”

Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said he received an email Monday morning from a doctor at Aleppo Children’s Hospital saying “if nothing is done we are surely facing death.”

“Eastern Aleppo City is now encircled by the regime,” said Rycroft. “The Castello road, a vital route for food, medicine and supplies, is cut off. ... Yet another humanitarian catastrophe awaits.”

Syrian government forces and their allies cut the Castello road, the main link to rebel-held parts of the country, on July 17 — laying siege to opposition-held parts of Aleppo. The country’s largest city and former commercial

center has been contested since July 2012 and Aleppo residents have been reporting shortages of food in rebelheld parts of the city because of the siege.

Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the road was being used to deliver aid to “terrorists.” U.S. Ambassador Samantha power demanded that the road be reopened.

O’Brien said his call for 48hour pauses must be backed by the Security Council, the U.N.’s most powerful body.

Japan’s U.N. Ambassador Koro Bessho, the current council president, said there was “overwhelming support” from the 15 members but wouldn’t say whether a resolution is planned.

has changed her stances on key issues. We need to look over the fact that the stances have changed — people evolve and so does their outlook on policies.

It is a volatile system that we encourage when we give up and I believe if ever there was an important election this is it. Take the advice of Sanders and go for what is right, not what is loudest.

“There are major issues that confront us today,” Sanders wrote in a Monday address. “And we need your help. We need the idealism and the energy and the intelligence of millions of people to join us in the fight to make America the kind of country we know it must become.”

Lady Raiders to go on foreign tour T

he Texas Tech women’s basketball team will travel to Spain and Portugal from Aug. 15-25 on a foreign tour.

While overseas, the Lady Raiders will play three games against select and all-star teams from around the area according to the Tech Athletics website.

“I think this is very cool and I know we’re excited,” sophomore guard Japreece Dean said on the website.

“Not a lot of us have had the opportunity to be out of the country, and this also gives us the chance to play together earlier than most teams get to, so we’re very excited.”

The team will start their trip by playing CRC Quinta

Dos Lombos at 8 p.m. on Aug. 18 in Lisbon, Portugal according to the website. They will play again two days later against Madrid Select at 7:30 p.m. in Madrid.

To end their tour, the Lady Raiders will face Barcelona Select at 8 p.m. on Aug. 23 in Barcelona according to the website.

Per NCAA regulations, the team will be allowed to have 10 practices before they leave on the foreign tour according to the website. They will start practices on Aug. 3 in the United Supermarkets Arena.

“The time together and the 10 days of practice that comes with a foreign tour gives you so much that

really shows up in November, December and January,” Texas Tech head coach Candi Whitaker said on the website. “I had this opportunity a couple times as an athlete and I would have never been able to do something like this without basketball, so to give this opportunity to our young women is huge. We’re extremely thankful to Kirby Hocutt and our administration for supporting this.”

The Lady Raiders will host an open practice from 2:30-4:30 p.m. on Aug. 6 in the United Supermarkets Arena. After the practice the team will have a meet and greet with fans. @TheDT_sports

Sun Belt chief envisions stability despite Big 12 expansion NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson won’t rule out Big 12 expansion plans affecting his own conference.

Still, Benson called the Sun Belt’s planned membership “perfect” in terms of geography, and he stressed that he envisions a period of stability in which member institutions will enjoy budding regional rivalries and see their football programs prosper.

“I truly hope that we can

focus on 2016, what we know, what we can control, what we can achieve — and not get bogged down in speculation and rumors about conference membership,” Benson said Monday in his state-of-theSun Belt address at the conference’s annual preseason football media day. “Obviously, if the Big 12 or SEC or ACC made that phone call to a Sun Belt president or chancellor, he or she would be foolish not to have that discussion.

“However, I’ve said more than once that I will know that the Sun Belt has reached a level of sustainability and stability when a phone call comes from the president or chancellor of one of the Sun Belt’s peer conferences to a Sun Belt president or chancellor, and the answer will be, “Thank you very much, but my university is very happy where we are.’ That’s exactly where I believe the Sun Belt is today.”

Football-only members

Idaho and New Mexico State are leaving the Sun Belt after 2017. Coastal Carolina, now in transition from the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision, becomes a full football member in 2018. At that point, the Sun Belt will have 10 teams in seven Southern states: Alabama (South Alabama and Troy), Arkansas (Arkansas State), Georgia (Georgia Southern and Georgia State),

Louisiana (Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe), North Carolina (Appalachian State), South Carolina (Coastal Carolina) and Texas (Texas State).

“All you have to do is look at the map,” Benson said.

“It’s perfect, it works and we believe in long run it will allow the Sun Belt to grow and thrive and prosper.”

Stability is something the Sun Belt, now entering its 16th season as a Division I

FBS conference, hasn’t had in a while. Five teams — North Texas, Middle Tennessee, Florida International, Florida Atlantic and Western Kentucky — have left the Sun Belt since 2013. Since then, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State have joined, while longtime member South Alabama moved up to FBS in football and Coastal Carolina joined with its football upgrade now in progress.

Van in wreck with Cowboys bus was turning left PHOENIX (AP) — Four people died when their van turned left at a highway intersection in northwestern Arizona and collided with a bus carrying staffers but no players of the Dallas Cowboys football team, authorities said Monday.

The vehicles heading in opposite directions Sunday on the main route between Las Vegas and Phoenix crashed as the van turned across U.S. 93 and onto a road, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.

DPS spokesman Quentin Mehr said three females and one male in the van died, but he didn’t release their ages or names pending notification of relatives.

Nobody on the Cowboys bus was seriously injured, and the team said no players were on board. The group was headed for Las Vegas for a planned stop on a preseason promotional tour.

“All on the bus came through OK with some bumps and bruises,” Cowboys spokesman Rich Dal-

rymple said in an email.

Additional information on the crash about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Kingman was not immediately available. The bus was seemingly intact and sitting upright in a field afterward, while the van appeared reduced to wreckage.

Mickey Spagnola, a columnist for the team’s website, has been writing for the past week about traveling on a Cowboys bus with a driver, the team mascot and videographer. On his Twitter page,

Spagnola tweeted before 2 p.m. Sunday that the bus was 80 miles (129 kilometers) outside Vegas.

The bus was on its way to a Cowboys event with 50 to 75 fans set for the afternoon, said Charles Cooper, manager of GameWorks entertainment center in Vegas.

People were waiting when the president of a local Cowboys fan club called about the accident. The event, which was supposed to feature the team mascot, was canceled, Cooper said.

Crash kills Nebraska punter, former Michigan State punter WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler died in a car crash in Wisconsin after working at a kicking clinic, a sheriff ’s department official said Sunday. LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye was injured in the crash.

Waukesha County Sheriff’s Lt. Thom Moerman said speed was likely a factor in the singlevehicle crash that happened around 11:45 p.m. Saturday.

The 24-year-old Sadler, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was driving. He and 22-year-old Foltz, of Greeley,

Nebraska, both died at the scene. Delahoussaye, 21 of New Iberia, Louisiana, was also a passenger. He was treated at Waukesha Memorial Hospital and released. A statement from LSU said his injuries were minor and that he was scheduled to return home Monday.

Moerman said in a statement that Sadler lost control on the wet pavement, left the roadway and struck a tree.

The University of Nebraska said Sunday the team will skip this week’s planned Big Ten media days in Chicago because of Foltz’s death.
