Hurricane Isaac makes landfall late Tuesday

By KATIE MCKEE STAFF WRITER

Compared to Hurricane Katrina seven years ago, nearly to the day, Hurricane Isaac is not the worst the Texas Tech Hurricane Research Team has seen.

TTUHRT deployed Friday and has been following what was originally called Tropical Storm Isaac

across the southeastern coast. They currently are in Slidell, La. According to the National Weather Service Hurricane Center, at 11:20 a.m. Tuesday Isaac transitioned into a Category 1 hurricane when it reached windspeeds of 74 miles per hour for longer than one minute.

The storm brought an onset of 80 mph wind and is expected to cre-

Gymnastics club team teaches hard work, good attitude

By HALLIE DAVIS STAFF WRITER

Forty students lined up, ready to go. As soon as senior Joshua Pack gave the word, they took off, making their way across the gym — on their hands.

The Texas Tech Gymnastics Club hosted an open try-out Monday night, inviting anyone interested to see what the team is all about.

The night started with the floor warm-ups, hand walking forward and backward and rolls across the mats. Then, students split into individual events, scattering across the gym to hone their talent on numerous events.

Pack, a geophysics major from Pearland, helped coach the new recruits. Though the team has no official coach, he said, it is extremely beneficial to all be one another’s coaches and teammates.

“You’re always going to build yourself by helping others,” he said.

One of the students he’s helped is Brian Grannan, a sophomore electrical engineering major from Alexandria, Va. Grannan said he had no gymnastic experience when he joined at his freshman orientation.

The team took him in and began with the basics. Within weeks, he could do a handstand.

NOW HIRING

Dean named for College of Arts and Sciences Texas Tech Provost Bob Smith announced Jeffrey Williams as the interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Williams is a professor of anthropology and former chairman of the Department of Sociology and Social Work. He is currently the associate dean of finance for College of Arts and Sciences.

In a news release, Smith said Williams is an optimal choice for the interim position because he served as the college’s financial administrator and is respected by deans in other colleges.

Williams said he was humbled to be offered the position.

“As the largest college within the university and with the vast majority of the core curriculum taught by arts and sciences faculty, we interact with almost every graduate of the university,” Williams said in the release. “While I know all the department chairpeople very well through interactions regarding finance, I look forward to getting to know more of the faculty who are teaching the courses and doing the research.”

TTUHRT, Krupar said, has an interesting storm to work with because most storms do not take the path Isaac has.

TTUHRT, Hirth said, brought with them 24 portable weather stations called StickNet probes and 8-foot tall engineering tripods modified with weather instruments to measure wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and pressure.

The team also uses Real Time observations, which allows it to see the data as the StickNet probes collect it, Hirth said.

“What we’re trying to do in hurricanes at landfall is distribute all 24 of those platforms along the coast and the landfall area to try and better understand the wind field of the hurricane as it makes landfall,” he said. “So there’s a lot of gaps in the knowledge of what the windfield is and those have important ramifications, primarily after the storm when people go back and try to assess the damage that occurred to their structure and things like that.”

Along with filling in the gaps of knowl-

edge about the wind field of hurricanes, “People are going to continue to build up on Hirth said, TTUHRT is also working the coastlines and it’s just not going to stop to provide and so we more inneed to figure out how formation about hurto make our ricanes to structures help the more republic presilient and how they pare. can with“I just stand these hope that hurricane they know force winds we care and we can about society and learn how to teach preserving people to life and evacuate property, more effiand that SCOTT GUNTER we’re reciently.”

eating “questionable” food, research associate Scott Gunter said.

However, Krupar said field work always throws curves and TTUHRT’s biggest obstacles consisted of vehicle troubles and working out the kinks in data communication.

Gunter said TTUHRT’s main goal is determining where Isaac will make the biggest impact. However, he said damage should be minimal and will come from storm surge, inland flooding and tree falls on structures.

“It’s tough to say, but probably not a tremendous amount [of damage],” Gunter said. “Probably inland, you won’t see a whole lot of damage other than fallen trees and maybe just some shingles blown off or something like that.”

According to the National Hurricane Center, late Tuesday, Hurricane Isaac made landfall in southeastern Louisiana and will produce strong winds and a dangerous storm surge along the northern gulf coast.

The hurricane team will spend the rest of the week resting and make its way back to Lubbock on Friday. ➤➤kmckee@dailytoreador.com

Romney sweeps Republican nomination Tuesday night TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night at a storm-delayed national convention, every mention of his name cheered by delegates eager to propel him into a campaign to oust President Barack Obama in tough economic times.

Romney watched on television with his wife, Ann, at a hotel suite across the street from the hall as the convention sealed his hard-won victories in the primaries and caucuses of last winter.

“I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a “storybook marriage,” she said in excerpts released in advance of a primetime speech meant to cast her multimillionaire-businessmanturned-politician husband in a soft and likable light. “Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once.”

“A storybook marriage? No, not at all. What Mitt Romney and I have is a real marriage,” she said.

Aides said her husband of 43 years would be in the hall when she spoke.

Through the evening, a parade of convention speakers mocked Democratic President Obama mercilessly from a made-for-television podium, as if to make up for lost time at an event postponed once and dogged still by Hurricane Isaac.

The Democratic president has “never run a company. He hasn’t even run a garage sale or seen the inside of a lemonade stand,” declared Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican Party.

Said House Speaker John Boehner, “His record is as shallow as his rhetoric.”

To send Romney and ticketmate Paul Ryan into the fall campaign, delegates approved a conservative platform that calls for tax cuts — not government spending — to stimulate the economy at a time of sluggish growth and 8.3 percent unemployment.

Polls make the race a close one, to be settled in a string of battleground states where neither Romney nor the president holds a secure advantage.

While there was no doubt about Romney’s command over the convention, the residue of a heated campaign for the nomination was evident inside the hall.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who never won a primary or caucus, drew several dozen delegate votes — precisely how many were not announced from the podium. Earlier, his supporters chanted and booed after the convention adopted rules they opposed, but were powerless to block, to prevent those votes from being officially registered.

“Shame on you,” some of his supporters chanted from the floor.

Boehner, presiding over the roll call, made no attempt to have Romney’s nomination made by acclamation, even though Ryan’s was a few moments later.

The night was Romney’s for sure, but some of the loudest cheers were accorded Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a hero among Republicans for fending off a labor-backed recall attempt last spring.

Convention planners squeezed two days of speeches and other convention business into one after scrapping Monday’s scheduled opener because of fears that Isaac would make a direct hit on the Florida Gulf Coast.

That threat fizzled, but it was instantly replaced by another — that Republicans would wind up holding a political celebration at the same time the storm turned its fury on New Orleans, devastated almost exactly seven years ago by Hurricane Katrina.

Romney’s convention planners said they were in frequent contact with weather forecasters, but they declined to discuss what contingency plans, if any, they had to accelerate plans for him to deliver a formal acceptance speech Thursday night.

Ratification of a party platform was prelude to Romney’s nomination, a document more conservative on abortion than the candidate.

“I’m from Houston and, growing up with mosquito bites, I’m not overly concerned. I constantly had mosquito bites and I know that it’s a little different up here. But, you know, I know that to me it’s not a huge deal. I feel like, living in Houston all my life, I’ve built up a little bit of an immunity to mosquito.

Colorado theater victim families question fundraising campaign AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Anguished family members of some of the Colorado theater shooting victims lashed out at a fundraising campaign Tuesday, saying it collected more than $5 million “using pictures and names of our murdered loved ones” but so far has given no more than $5,000 each to families facing bills for medical treatment, travel and other expenses from the attack.

The families also said they’ve been shut out of decisions on how the money should be spent and that fundraisers were unresponsive to their questions and suggestions.

“When you generate donations for a fund called ‘the Aurora Victim Relief Fund’ using pictures and names of our murdered loved ones, it would stand to reason the fund is for victims of the Aurora shooting,” said Tom Teves, whose son Alex was one of 12 people killed in the July 20 shootings. Another 58 people

were wounded, and many of them face long recoveries or permanent disability.

At a sometimes-emotional news conference, Teves read a seven-page statement demanding the fundraisers give the victims and their families a say in how the money is used and questioning why so far only a relatively small portion, $350,000, was being distributed to the victims.

Teves said the statement was on behalf of 11 families. Eighteen other people crowded onto a small platform behind him, some dabbing their eyes with tissues, clasping hands or leaning on each other.

The Community First Foundation, asked by Gov. John Hickenlooper to operate the relief fund, said on its website it has raised just over $5 million for the Aurora Victim Relief Fund. The foundation announced on Aug. 17 that it would give $350,000 to the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance to

distribute among the surviving victims and the families of those who died. Earlier, it said another $100,000 was given to 10 nonprofit groups.

Marla J. Williams, president the Community First Foundation, said a gag order imposed by Arapahoe County District Judge William Blair Sylvester made it difficult to find all the victims and their families.

She said a group has been set up to recommend how to spend the donations but no victims’ representatives have been chosen yet.

“I don’t know who represents the victims. There are a number of people who were involved,” she said, adding that the group at Tuesday’s news conference did not represent all the victims.

Williams said she worries that Tuesday’s statement will give donors second thoughts.

“I’m sad because I think there are

people who have been very generous and contributors who might think their money has not been used wisely,” she said.

The 37-year-old Community First Foundation supports community programs in the metropolitan Denver area.

Nancy Lewis, executive director of the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance, said the victims and the agencies involved want the same thing: “They want healing for all the crime victims.”

She said Sylvester’s gag order prevented her from commenting further.

Sylvester issued an order on Aug. 16 barring the organization from releasing names and contact information for the victims. The order does not appear to place any other restrictions on the group.

Teves said the families were humbled

by the amount of the donations, and grateful. He said none were speaking out just to get money.

“We have nothing to gain as the families of the murder victims,” he said.

“We have already lost everything.”

He said anyone who was in the theater at the time of the shooting or lived in the same building as the suspect — who police said had booby-trapped his apartment — should be eligible to receive help.

Teves insisted the families’ purpose wasn’t to attack the fundraising groups or the government.

“All we’re saying is, ‘Listen to us.

We have unique knowledge and unique skillsets that we can bring to bear to make this better for all the victims. Why are

we shunned to the outside?’ That’s what this is about.”

A meeting is scheduled Friday between victims’ families and officials of the fundraising campaign.

Teves challenged Hickenlooper, who attended the slain victims’ funerals, to step in and help the families get a say.

“You pledged 12 times that ‘We will remember,’” Teves said. “Are you a man who is true to his words, or were they just words?”

Hickenlooper’s spokesman, Eric Brown, said the governor understands the families’ frustration and is advocating for them to have more say. He said Hickenlooper also wants the fundraisers to improve their communication with the families.

The state of the race

By KEITH YOST

THE TECH (MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY)

On August 11, Mitt Romney announced Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate. The choice of Ryan seems to have outperformed expectations.

Since August 11, Mitt Romney’s poll position has improved. The RealClearPolitics average of polls on August 11 had him trailing by 4.6 points. Today, he trails by a 1.1 points and continues to trend upwards.

Mr. Romney’s position in predictive models has similarly improved. Nate Silver’s model at The New York Times has seen Mr. Romney’s chances increase by 2.3 percent, from 28.4 percent to 30.7 percent, with other models showing similar gains.

And finally, his position in prediction markets has risen since they announcement. On Intrade, shares of Romney to be President rose four points, from 38.5 percent to 43.7 percent.

Ryan has been regarded by many as one of Romney’s bolder vice presidential options. During the Obama administration, Mr. Ryan has emerged as one of the party’s intellectual leaders and policy architects, particularly on fiscal issues. He was the principal author of the Republican party’s 2012 and 2013 budget proposals. His vigorous advocacy of reform and articulate defense of fiscal conservatism are an asset both for winning independents as well as securing the moderate Romney’s right flank.

However, his willingness to put forward budget specifics, as well as his 14-year voting record in the U.S. House should give Democrats a large cache of votes and positions to use as ammunition

against Mr. Romney.

The clear intention of Mr. Ryan’s selection is to focus the 2012 campaign on the economy. The extent to which this has succeeded is unclear — most campaign discussion was focused on the economy before Ryan was selected, and would likely have remained on the economy even if Mr. Romney had selected someone regarded as “safer” such as Tim Pawlenty or Robert Portman.

The Romney camp hopes that the selection of Ryan will turn the 2012 campaign into a big ideas campaign of the sort that brought Ronald Reagan to power. The Obama camp hopes that the partnership will be more akin to when moderate Bob Dole picked the conservative firebrand Jack Kemp to run against an incumbent Bill Clinton.

Either way, the selection of Ryan breaks the mold of usual vice presidential selections, which are done to balance a ticket geographically or politically, and make moves on swing states and demographics. Paul Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin is unlikely to turn red this election, Ryan has no substantial foreign policy experience to balance out Romney’s policy background, and unlike, say, Marco Rubio, it is not apparent that there is any particular demographic that regards Mr. Ryan as a champion.

Vice presidents, in the net of things, usually have a limited impact on the election as a whole. Most voters regard the top of the ticket as the overwhelmingly important half. And so, all things considered, Mr. Ryan will probably prove no exception to history. But as it stands, the choice of Paul Ryan for vice president thus far appears to be a high-risk, high-reward campaign strategy that has thus far yielded a modest improvement in Mitt Romney’s electoral position.

First week jitters are no big deal As I got off the bus this morning

and realized I had officially started my senior year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how good Texas Tech has been to me.

Then I thought about how easy it is to get lost in the sea of what seems to be about a million people — with not enough housing, or room in the Rec Center, I might add — and that’s when the idea for my first column of the year came to me.

Obviously, this will be the obligatory “first week of school” post for those freshmen who are shaking in their boots and for those seniors like me who continue to get lost on campus.

Lesson number one: bus etiquette.

I understand that people are anxious to get to their classes and get on the bus, but here’s the deal. People who are on the bus come off, then those waiting get on.

I know it’s complicated, but when the bus drivers pioneer their busses like a bat out of hell, obviously those of us on the bus want to get off as badly as you want to get on.

If this is not adhered to, usually

Sydney Holmes

there’s a major traffic jam filled with floods of, “Oh, no, sorry you go ahead,” and, “No you go,” all day long. Let’s stick to this simple formula and things should be good from here on out.

Branching off of that — boys, especially you freshmen, learn this lesson and learn it well. If there are girls standing and you’re sitting down, offer your seat.

While it may not be ideal, it’s going to pay off in the long run, especially if a bunch of girls see you do it.

What’s that? The sound of every girl on that bus throwing her underwear across the room? That’s what I thought.

Speaking of panty-droppers, if you plan on getting jiggy in the dorm rooms — I never did because I didn’t develop social skills until last year — a few words

of caution to you.

While I never got my freak on, it doesn’t mean I didn’t have a roommate who lived three feet away from me who did.

More than likely, your roommate will walk in on you. If not, your chances of not being heard through the paper-thin walls of the eighth floor of Chitwood are slim to none. And, homegirl, you’ll probably be talked about the next day, so just brace yourself for that.

There’s just no room for the morally explicit. It just turns into a sea of legs and cramps and, if you’re living in Horn or Knapp, just prepare yourself to fall about three feet at some point. At the end of it all, you’ll wish you would have packed some flats in your purse. Never mind cuddling.

Here’s a tip you may not have picked up at orientation: Find an older boyfriend with his own house.

Lastly, prepare yourself for the elements.

While you may have thought that coming to school in Texas meant mostly summer and spring weather with just a

dash of winter, you’re wrong. I’m here to pop that little fantastical bubble. Lubbock is its own brand of crazy.

You will experience all seasons.

Not only that, but you will experience them in their harshest conditions. And you will experience them all within 20 minutes of each other.

You will be exposed to all kinds of discomfort branching from dirt in your teeth, mixed with snow, mixed with sleet, mixed with some of the harshest, driest wind that rivals the Sierra. You don’t know excitement until you’ve seen mud rain.

Anyway, I hope this helps all the new and transfer students navigate their first weeks at this overpopulated university.

Oh, and one more thing: Don’t bother printing out those online maps of campus. They’re worthless. You’re a smart, educated individual. You’ll figure it out, I promise.

collaboration with our summer exhibition Celebrating Our Heroes,” Dean said. “It is being shown to recognize African-American people who made history in flight” The display is set up in six sections, each covering a different set of people and events of AfricanAmerican flight. “[It] recounts the evolution of aviation through the stories of African-Americans who left their mark and helped pave the way for those who would follow,” according to the news release. “Some of the most important figures, both past and present, are chronicled in this exhibition.”

The exhibit opened Aug. 25, and Dean said it has been a suc-

cess within the first few days it has been open.

“It seems to be really popular so far,” Dean said. “Our galleries have been filled since it opened.”

Black Wings is not aimed toward any specific age group. It is set up to where people of any age can view it.

“Even younger kids can view it,” Dean said, “but they might not be able to understand or appreciate it as well as older ones might.”

There are many different people included in the exhibit, including Bernard Harris, who graduated from Tech and went on to become to the first AfricanAmerican in space.

“It is really nice how some of the people in the exhibit tie into Tech history,” Dean said.

The exhibit also features objects of flight such as photos from different missions and Mars rovers on display.

“The exhibition is really all about the people though,” Dean said. “They are the ones that are featured as our American heroes.”

The exhibit will continue to stay open through Nov. 18 at the museum before leaving to be featured in other museums.

The exhibit is located on the southeast corner of Indiana Avenue and 4th Street. Parking and admission are free. ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

VENICE, Italy (AP) — The Venice Film Festival is focusing on its artistic roots this year, courting celebrated directors and not flashy Hollywood blockbusters.

Festival director Alberto Barbera trimmed the number of movies premiering at the world’s oldest film festival, which opens Wednesday, to just 18 in competition for the coveted Golden Lion, Venice’s top prize. And the overall selection is just 60 films — about half the offerings in previous years.

“I don’t like this idea of making it bigger and bigger year after year,” Barbera said Tuesday. “Toronto is getting bigger and bigger every year and the same thing for Cannes and Berlin and so on. And I don’t like that. It’s not a proper way to promote a film.”

The Venice lineup is heavy on

auteur favorites like Terrence Malick, who premieres “To The Wonder” on Sunday and Paul Thomas Anderson, who travels to the Lido with “The Master” on Saturday. Both films are coups for Barbera, who returned this year to the festival he directed from 1998-2002 and hopes to crystalize Venice’s identity as an artistic venue.

“Usually there are studio films here, even out of competition, to give it some glitz,” said Maria Grazia Vairo, the Rome-based head of acquisitions for Eagle Pictures, an Italian film distributor.

It’s not clear if the bigger Hollywood films weren’t ready when Venice was making its selections or if the studios preferred to save on the intercontinental airfare and premiere pictures in Toronto, which overlaps with Venice and has a lineup of more than 300 movies.

“I wouldn’t say it is time consuming. I love it,” Sacky said. “It is a commitment.”

“It’s a very demanding sport,” Sacky said.

Although it is often a dangerous sport, Amadeo said, the team has not seen a major injury since he broke his wrist four years ago.

Sacky said she credited the low injury rates to the emphasis on proper training and focus on making sure everyone knows the basics.

Restaurants Alinea and Eleven Madison Park to swap places CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago’s Alinea and New York’s Eleven Madison Park, two of the nation’s highly acclaimed restaurants, announced Tuesday they will be trading places for a week this fall.

Alinea and Eleven Madison Park, both holders of three Michelin stars, will trade chefs, kitchens and dining rooms, opening in essence pop-up restaurants in each other’s space.

Alinea and chief Grant Ach-

atz will be New York beginning Sept. 26 for five nights, and Eleven Madison Park, with chef Daniel Humm, will be in Chicago beginning Oct. 10.

In the most recent “World’s 50 Best Restaurant” rankings, a survey of 800 international restaurateurs and food journalists, Eleven Madison Park was voted the 10th best restaurant in the world. Alinea was No. 7 in the rankings.

Achatz and partner Nick

Kokonas have refused several offers to open an Alinea outside Chicago. The swap is a chance to present their cooking in New York without making a full-time commitment.

“I can’t tell you how many chefs have said to me, ‘Yeah, you’re a big fish in a small pond.

The only reason you’re so popular is because you’re in the Midwest.’

In a way, we’re amped up,” Achatz told the Chicago Tribune. “I want to introduce Alinea food

to the jaded New Yorker. We’re going to show New Yorkers what Chicago food is all about.”

The collaboration is being called “21st Century Limited,” a reference to the “20th Century Limited,” a luxury passenger train that ran between Chicago and New York during the last century.

The idea was born last November at The Aviary, the cocktail lounge owned by Achatz and Kokonas, which played host to

Eleven Madison Park’s cookbook party, according to Achatz. He said it was a handshake deal, with both knowing it will be a tremendous amount of work.

Three days before the Sept. 26 opening night, Achatz and chef de cuisine Matt Chasseur will fly a dozen staffers to New York, and in a 72-hour crash course, train the Eleven Madison Park staff to replicate Alinea. The process repeats when Humm, general manager Will Guidara and their

team arrive in Chicago on Oct. 7.

Foodies will pay a high price for meals at the restaurants — $495 in both cities, not including tax and service.

Despite the expensive cover charge, both restaurants will lose money from the project.

“People sometimes don’t understand why we’re doing this when there isn’t an economic benefit,” Guidara said. “Sometimes we do what we do because we love doing it.”

Tech football ready for kickoff against Northwestern State

By MIKE DUPONT II STAFF WRITER

Anxious.

It is a word being used among the Texas Tech football team to characterize the Red Raiders’ feelings heading into their home opener.

Tech will take the field and begin its 2012 campaign against the Demons of Northwestern State at 6 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

The Demons are a memeber of the Southland Conference in the Football Championship Subdivision, but Tech quarterback Seth Doege said he is preparing as if it were any other week.

“They might not be as big as we would go against in a Big 12 Conference game,” he said. “But at the same time, I don’t think they’re going to fear us. I think they’re going to come in here and bring some heat.”

Even though Tech isn’t looking ahead, the disappointment of missing a bowl game still does not sit well with the senior quarterback.

“We didn’t finish the way we really wanted to (last season),” Doege said. “We’ve put in so much time and hard work since that game ended that it’s exciting to finally get a chance to prove that we’re not that team anymore.”

Doege was added to several preseason watch lists after post-

ing a 4,000-yard season last year, the eighth best statistically among Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks.

This season, Doege said his main focus is winning games and the recognition will take care of itself.

“I just want to be known as a quarterback that led this team to a Big-12 Championship,” he said.

“I have some personal goals, but those don’t matter to me as much as winning football games here.”

The Red Raiders have endured a long offseason that included a new defensive coordinator — the fourth in four years — which means a new system and new concepts for the players to grasp.

Senior safety D.J. Johnson said many of the woes with last seasons defense stemmed from overthinking.

“This year, we’ve transitioned from the beginning of camp to the end of camp,” he said. “We just trust each other and we’re going to go out there and play for each other.”

The Red Raiders have abandoned the many different schemes they ran last year and are transitioning into a 4-3 defense with emphasis on run-stopping.

Johnson said, new defensive coordinator Art Kaufman has already shown confidence in Johnson and fellow senior safety Cody Davis by giving them free range to make adjustment calls on the field.

“I may see something on the fi eld that coach Kaufman may not have noticed,” he said. “I feel because of the communication, that’s going to make the team that much better.”

Johnson was quick to praise his offensive counterparts.

“They’ve been a good offense for a while now,” he said. “I feel like this is the year that they have a chance and an opportunity to be a great offense as long as everybody stays healthy.”

Senior running back Eric Stephens is slated to return after a knee injury ended his season last year in the fifth game of the season.

Head coach Tommy Tuberville said do not look to see too much of Stephens against Northwestern State.

“I’d like to run him 30, 40 times, but that’s not going to happen,” Tuberville said. “If he gets 10, 12 carries, that’s probably going to be a lot.”

The Red Raiders remain optimistic about their depth entering the season.

Tuberville said this year’s team definitely has more weapons, but the upcoming weeks will prove whether or not the team has turned the page from last season.

“We’ve got a chance to make some waves,” he said. “How big of waves, time will only tell in the next few weeks, in the coming months how far we’ve come.” ➤➤mdupont@dailytoreador.com
