TYLER — Some medical work-ers responsible for treatment billing codes say they felt pres-sured by a Dallas-area doctor to allegedly falsify data to get more money from Medicare.

Testimony continues in the Tyler health care fraud trial of Dr. Tariq Mahmood, who’s denied wrongdoing.

Federal prosecutors say the hospital chain owner conspired to submit more than $1.1 million in false billings.

The Dallas Morning News reports Norma Longley testified Monday that she balked at chang-ing billing codes for Renaissance Hospital Terrell patients.

WILLIS — Three adults have suffered severe burns in a Central Texas house explo-sion that leveled the home.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says the fiery blast happened before dawn Tuesday at a home near Wil-lis. Willis is a town of 5,914 people, about 40 miles north

of Houston.Montgomery County Fire

Marshal Jimmy Williams says it could be weeks before investigators determine a cause for the explosion that was felt several miles away.

Williams says two men and a woman suffered severe burns and were transported to a hospital. Their names and further details on their

conditions weren’t immedi-ately released.

Neighbors heard and felt the force of the massive blast. One man, who asked not to be identified, said two ceilings in rooms fell down at his house across the street. The front window was blown out and tools hanging on the wall in his work shop were thrown to the floor.

PHOENIX — A case challeng-ing Arizona’s refusal to reveal detailed information about the lethal drugs it plans to use to put an inmate to death is now head-ed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The dispute centers on wheth-er a man convicted of killing his estranged girlfriend and her father has a constitutional right to know more about his execu-

tion than Arizona officials have been willing to disclose.

It comes amid nationwide scrutiny surrounding lethal injections as Arizona and sev-eral other states have withheld details of the process, includ-ing the supplier of their execu-tion drugs, how or whether those drugs are tested, or details about the qualifications of the execu-tion team.

Bravo!

There is a point at which firmness of con-viction becomes obstinacy, and there is a point at which obstinacy becomes com-

edy. The latter was on spectacular view the other day when a prominent inflation hawk self-destructed on national TV.

CNBC reporter Rick Santelli, who gets credit for spawning the tea party with a 2009 rant, has long warned the Federal Reserve is court-ing not just inflation but hyperinflation with its prolonged expansion of the money supply. For five years inflation has taunted him by failing to materialize.

Finally, the other day, after being challenged on air about his doomsaying, Santelli did his best impression of an exploding ammunition dump. “I was right! I was right!” he bellowed. It was like watching Captain Queeg testifying in “The Caine Mutiny,” when the members of his court-martial panel suddenly realize he is stark raving mad.

Santelli is just the most conspicuous and unrepentant of a group of economic experts and pundits who for years argued that the Fed’s easy-money policy would send prices soaring.

Milton Friedman, who had a greater effect on my thinking about economics and government than anyone else, argued “inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” — the result of excessive money creation. He docu-mented this claim with a vast array of empirical evidence — which he thought was valuable — and persuaded most economists.

One was Ben Bernanke, who cited him as a major influence on his policies at the Fed. But Bernanke knew that too little money can be as bad as too much.

Friedman had taught him well. When Japan suffered a recession in the 1990s, Friedman explained why. “Monetary growth has been too low,” he said. “What Japan needs is a more expansive domestic monetary policy.”

Faced with the crash of 2008, the Fed decid-ed that was what the United States needed, too. It was striving to prevent a severe recession from turning into a Cormac McCarthy novel, and once that was averted, it was trying to facilitate the return of normal economic growth.

But some people saw only danger.Carnegie Mellon economist Allan Meltzer

wrote in 2009 a repeat of the 1970s and early 1980s was imminent: “If President Obama and the Fed continue down their current path, we could see a repeat of those dreadful inflationary years.”

Republican politicians have made similar warnings. In 2012, Mitt Romney said Bernanke had “overinflated.”

But things have not gone as they expected. From 2009

through 2013, inflation averaged 1.6 percent — half what it was in the previous five years and lower than in any five-year period in the past half-century.

Meltzer (whom I have been calling for decades and admire) now tells me he was mistaken in 2009. Bernanke critic Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, con-fessed last year, “I have been surprised by the stability of inflation.”

But other Fed critics have yet to admit error. Some of those who were wrong hallucinate that they were right. They claim the Consumer Price Index greatly understates the actual movement of prices. But the Billion Prices Project at MIT, which collects far more data than the govern-ment does, puts the current rate only slightly above the official number.

The fact food costs are up doesn’t mean infla-tion is emerging. Inflation is a rise in the general price level. If some prices are rising faster than the overall rate, that means other prices are not. Sure enough, prices for gasoline, corn and imported food have been down lately.

The Rick Santelli brand also seems to have lost value.

Tight-money true believers have consistently let ideology dictate their understanding of the world instead of the other way around. Sensible people, by contrast, confront their misjudg-ments and alter their thinking to incorporate the things they failed to see — because reality doesn’t care if you think you’re right.

Q: What-ever hap-pened to Lu Ann Simms and Julius La Rosa? They were on “Arthur God-frey and His Friends” in the 1950s. — L.A.S., North M a n k a t o , Minn.

A: Lu Ann Simms was born in 1933 as Lu Ann Ciminelli. She married Loring Bruce Buzzell in 1954 and remained with him until his death. She was a guest on “Arthur Godfrey and His Friends” from 1952 through 1955, and she appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” four times. Simms died of cancer on Sept. 21, 2003, in Hol-lywood, California.

Julius La Rosa was born Jan. 2, 1930, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He was a popular singer who worked in radio and television beginning in the 1950s. After high school, La Rosa joined the Navy and sang in the choir and in area clubs. Friends arranged an audi-tion with talent scout and radio and television personality Arthur Godfrey. Godfrey was impressed. La Rosa appeared on Godfrey’s TV show; at the end of the spot, Godfrey announced that when La Rosa was out of the service, he’d be back — and he was.

As of this writing, Julius LaRo-sa is living in Westchester Coun-ty, N.Y.

Q: On a newer Ford model, placing your foot under the bumper opens the tailgate. How does this work? — J.B., Clinton, Mo.

A: The kick-activated tailgate opener features a two-sensor sys-tem that recognizes movement of your foot and opens the tailgate. The system operates only when it recognizes the remote-entry key. The key does not need to be out of your pocket for the system to recognize it. According to Ford, the system is as secure as a regu-lar remote entry.

Q: I’m watching reruns of “The Lawrence Welk Show.” There is a female cello play-er. What is her name? What is she doing these days? — A.S. Bolivar, N.Y.

A: Charlotte Harris, born April 29, 1931, in Oak Park, Ill., took up the cello when she was only 5 years old. She played with both the Chicago and San Antonio symphony orchestras. In early 1961, Lawrence Welk hired her as the first and only female member of his orchestra; she left the show in 1978. She then retired to Palos Verdes, Calif., with her husband, Ed Deveny, where she taught at the Deveny School of Music, a school they founded together.

Q: After hearing the theme song for the TV program “Frasier,” I am wonder-ing what “tossed salad and scrambled eggs” means, and what is the relevance to Fra-sier?

A: The music was written by Bruce Miller, who called his friend Darryl Phinnesse to write the words. Phinnesse came up with the idea of “tossed salad and scrambled eggs” as representa-tions of Frasier Crane’s mixed-up patients.

Miller wanted Mel Torme to sing the vocals, but the show’s producers insisted that Kelsey Grammer sing the theme.

Q: Several years ago, I was in Hollywood, Calif., and went to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I was surprised and remain confused as to why Harrison Ford has two stars. What is the explanation? — H.L., Columbus, Ohio

A: It’s quite simple: There are two Harrison Fords being hon-ored. One is honoring the silent film actor, and the other is for the “Indiana Jones” star. There are two Michael Jacksons, too: One is a radio personality, and the other the incredibly talented singer, dancer and songwriter.

Q: What is the Hawai-ian word for moon? — L.M., Lynn, Mass.

A: The Hawaiian word is “Mahina.” In Hawaiian mythol-ogy, Mahina is a lunar deity and the mother of Hema. Mahina is pronounced mah-HEE-nah.

As is now well known, the children and families flow-ing across the U.S.-Mexican border are arriving for two interrelated reasons. One factor is a loophole in

a 2008 immigration law that gives minors a relatively bet-ter shot at remaining in the U.S. after enduring a certain amount of legal and administrative processing.

So many Central Americans are betting their children’s future on that loophole, however, because law and order in countries like El Salvador is collapsing. In its place, ter-rifying gangs are consolidating power and spreading chaos after incubating there for decades.

Foremost among these criminal organizations is the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13. Sadly, MS-13 was created in the Rampart district of Los Angeles back in the 1980s, as refugees from that decade’s round of conflict benefitted from a federal amnesty and put down roots.

The amnesty itself was not the source of the gang prob-lem. MS-13 formed out of a protective instinct among Sal-vadoran Angelenos, who were far outnumbered by Mexican residents, and far outclassed by the powerful Mexican gangs that ruled much of L.A.’s criminal underworld.

Those gangs, including the feared Mexican Mafia, owed much of their muscle, reach and financing to the drug trade. When the MS-13 partnered up with the Mexican Mafia, the Salvadorans gained privileged access to the spoils — and the work — of drug crime.

The developments posed a daunting challenge to the LAPD, the state of California and federal authorities alike.

In the wake of L.A.’s crippling riots, the Clinton admin-istration adopted a get-tough deportation policy — con-tinued in the Bush years — that sent tens of thousands of criminals back to El Salvador, Mexico and other Central American countries.

Meanwhile, Mexico grew ever more powerless in the face of its drug cartels. And war-torn Central America struggled to contend with the surge of gang members within its borders.

Now, MS-13 is one of the most dreaded and far-reaching criminal organizations in the Western Hemisphere. They’re using the new border crisis to set up new recruitment cen-ters and transfer hubs. And until the U.S. reforms its drug policies, MS-13 will remain an engine of crime, violence and human displacement.

Taking some drugs off the black market and out of the hands of gangs like MS-13 isn’t a silver bullet or an excuse to give up on border security. It is an important piece of the puzzle. Our current drug policy helped create the monster we are now strangely surprised to contend with today.

Without a change, however careful and measured, we’re doomed to repeat the past.

Immigration policy borders on madnessIn a recent confrontation between protesters

against the illegal flood of unaccompanied chil-dren into the United States and counter-protests by some Hispanic group, one man from the lat-ter group said, “We are as good as you are!”

One of the things that make the history of clashes over race or ethnicity such a history of tragedies around the world is that — regard-less of whatever particular issue sets off these clashes — many people see the ultimate stakes as their worth as human beings. On that, there is no room for compromise, but only polariza-tion. That is why playing “the race card” is such an irresponsible and dangerous political game.

The real issue when it comes to immigration is not simply what particular immigration policy America should have, but whether America can have any immigration policy at all.

A country that does not control its borders does not have an immigration policy. There may be laws on the books, but such laws are mean-ingless words if people from other countries can cross the borders whenever they choose.

One of the reasons why many Americans are reluctant to keep out illegal immigrants — or even to call them “illegal immigrants,” instead of using the mealy-mouthed word “undocument-ed” — is that most Hispanics they encounter seem to be decent, hard-working people.

This column has pointed out, more than once, that I have never seen Mexicans standing on a street corner begging, though I have seen both whites and blacks doing so.

But such impressions are no basis for decid-ing serious issues about immigration and citi-zenship. When we do not control our own bor-ders, we have no way of knowing how many of those coming across those borders are criminals or even terrorists.

We have no way of knowing how many of those children are carrying what diseases that will spread to our children. And we already know, from studies of American children, that those who are raised without fathers in the home have a high probability of becoming huge, expensive problems for taxpayers in the years ahead, and a mortal danger to others.

A hundred years ago, when there was a huge influx of immigrants from Europe, there were extensive government studies of what those immigrants did in the United States.

There were data on how many, from what

countries, ended up in jail, diseased or on the dole. There were data on how well their children did in school.

As with most things, some immigrant groups did very well and others did not do nearly as well. But today, even to ask such questions is to be considered mean-spirited.

Such information as we have today shows that immi-grants from some countries

have far more education than immigrants from some other countries, and do not end up being supported by the taxpayers nearly as often as immigrants from other countries. But such information is seldom mentioned in discussions of immigrants, as if they were abstract people in an abstract world.

Questions about immigration and citizen-ship are questions about irreversible decisions that can permanently change the composition of the American population and the very culture of the country — perhaps in the direction of the cultures of the countries from which illegal immigrants have fled.

During the era of epidemics that swept across Europe in centuries past, people fleeing from those epidemics often spread the diseases to the places to which they fled. Counterproduc-tive and dangerous cultures can be spread to America the same way.

Willful ignorance is not the way to make any decision. Yet the Obama administration is keep-ing secret even where they are dumping illegal immigrants by the thousands, in communities far from the border states.

Looking before we leap is not racism — except in the sense anything the Obama administration doesn’t like is subject to being called racist.

Americans who gather to protest the high-handed way this administration has sneaked illegal immigrants into their communities can expect the race card to be played against them. The time is long overdue to stop being intimi-dated by such cheap — and dangerous — politi-cal tactics.

Overton ISD superintendent Stephen DuBose praised OHS principal Kendall Smith and OMS principal Cindy Bundrick for “finding such highly-quali-fied staffers on such extremely

short notice.”“I am extremely happy to

welcome our new teachers to the Mustang family,” he said. “I believe they will be a great addition to our schools.”

Each of the resignations

came as a result of staffers being offered new jobs else-where, and OISD board presi-dent Shane McCasland said the timing could not have been worse.

“But it’s a testament to the caliber of our administration for aggressively seeking out quality education profession-als, even under less-than-ideal circumstances,” he said. “While we wish our former faculty members all the best in their professional careers, we feel very fortunate to have found such excellent educators in such a short amount of time.”

In the meantime, McCasland added, trustees granted DuBose hiring privileges through Aug. 10 “in order to expedite any further employment issues.”

DuBose said he believes strongly that the board should be “an integral part of the staff-ing process,” but that this move would provide him with the ability to sign a prospective teacher without delay.

“It’s only due to the extenu-ating circumstance we’re fac-ing at the moment,” he added. “This isn’t something we plan to make a habit out of.”

Later, trustees approved the purchase of a van to transport students who are handicapped. The van will be acquired from American Lift Aids in Tyler for $19,249.

altered to reflect more expen-sive treatments. She later dis-covered her codes for Medi-care reimbursements were altered.

Cynthia Kennemer Plumlee testified she was fired after refusing to let Mahmood be “involved” in reviewing patient. She cited professional ethics.

Mahmood’s attorney, Michael Khouri, didn’t spe-cifically address their accu-sations. But he repeatedly emphasized during question-ing that it’s not unusual for hospitals to try to “maximize profits’’ through the reim-bursement process.

Mahmood sat motionless for most of the day’s testi-mony, rarely speaking to his attorney and at times appear-ing to struggle to keep his eyes open. The Dallas business-man’s hospitals are at the cen-ter of multiple investigations for patient care failures and questionable financial deal-ings.

He is accused in indict-ments of directing employees to alter underlying diagnostic information in insurance bill-ing claims. “In many cases,’’ the indictment alleges, “these were for patients he had never seen.’’ Authorities also say he stole patients’ identities to carry out his billing scheme.

Longley was a billing coder for the Baylor Health System before she joined Renaissance in 2008 shortly after Mah-mood purchased the hospital. She testified that professional guidelines require her to base her codes for insurance bills strictly on the attending physi-cians’ documented diagnoses.

Yet Mahmood began fre-quently visiting her office asking her to change codes to reflect patient conditions of greater “severity’’ or that would pay “significantly high-er,’’ she said. Her response to him, she testified: “If it was in the [attending physicians’] documentation, I could code it’’ that way.

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Arizona cannot execute Joseph Rudolph Wood, convicted in the 1989 shoot-ing deaths, without providing the lethal injection information he has requested. The decision prompted state officials to say they will take their case to the nation’s high court.

Arizona officials had been seeking to have the full 11-member 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturn a judg-ment from a three-judge panel that said Wood “raised serious questions” about whether he should have “access to lethal injection drug information and executioner qualifications.”

The ruling against the state marked the first time that an appeals court has delayed an execution based on the issue of drug secrecy, said Richard Dieter, director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, D.C.

Some of the most active death penalty states — includ-ing Texas, Florida and Missouri — have been the subject of similar lawsuits from virtually every death row inmate facing imminent execution over the past several months, but courts have rarely stepped in.

Dale Baich, an attorney for Wood, said his team is “look-ing forward to Arizona turning over the information that we

requested.”“The 9th Circuit has correct-

ly recognized the importance of the information that Joe Wood sought,” Baich said.

Arizona attorney general’s office spokeswoman Stepha-nie Grisham, however, said the state will file an application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to dismiss the ruling and allow prison officials to put Wood to death without any such disclosures.

It’s not clear whether the high court will take up the case, but Dieter said it shows judiciary disagreement on the issue. “That is often an invita-tion for the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene,” Dieter said.

If the Supreme Court does step in, death penalty experts say it’s likely the appeals court decision will be overruled.

Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, of the 9th Circuit, dissented from the decision Monday that led to the state’s planned Supreme Court appeal.

“I have little doubt that the Supreme Court will thwart this latest attempt to interfere with the State of Arizona’s efforts to carry out its lawful sentence and bring Wood to justice for the heinous crimes he com-mitted a quarter century ago,” Kozinski wrote.

The process of lethal injec-tions and whether inmates unduly suffer has come into

focus several times this year.An Ohio inmate in January

snorted and gasped during the 26 minutes it took him to die. And an Oklahoma execution was botched in April as pris-on officials halted the process after noticing the drugs weren’t being administered properly. The inmate died of a heart attack several minutes later.

For decades, the vast major-ity of executions in the U.S. were carried out through the same method, a three-drug protocol using pharmaceuticals purchased from major drug-makers.

But in the mid-2000s, courts began to consider whether lethal injection could violate the inmates’ constitu-tional guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment.

The Supreme Court even-tually allowed lethal injection to proceed, but the issue led major drug companies — many of them based in Europe, where opposition to the death penalty is strong — to stop selling drugs for use in executions.

States have turned to com-pounding pharmacies, which make drugs specifically for individual clients and don’t face the same oversight as the bigger companies.

Neither the states nor the compounding pharmacies want their names made public, citing harassment concerns.

six years ago that is now at the center of an immigration crisis at the nation’s Southern bor-der. More than 57,000 youths, mostly from Central America, have crossed into the U.S. ille-gally since October. Fewer than 2,000 of them have been sent back.

Immigration advocates and many Democrats insist on pre-serving what they describe as important protections in the 2008 law for unaccompanied youths who flee their home countries or are smuggled to the U.S.

Most Republicans and a few Democrats want to change the law to address circumstances far different from six years ago, when no more than 8,000 kids arrived at the border each year without their parents.

“The 2008 law creates a process that made sense when you’re talking about a lim-ited number of children, the victims of sex trafficking. It doesn’t make sense when you talk about 50,000 unaccompa-nied minors,” said Sen. Lindsey

Graham, R-S.C. “The 2008 law wasn’t designed to deal with this situation.”

Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., countered, “The best interest of the child would be what the law says: Hold them in a safe and clean shelter, rath-er than returning them to face possible death.”

The dispute has held up con-gressional action on President Barack Obama’s $3.7 billion emergency spending request for more immigration judges, detention facilities and other resources for the border. Pros-pects for a compromise are dim, and Congress may leave for its annual summer recess in two weeks without doing any-thing to deal with the unfolding crisis.

Feinstein’s measure was made part of the William Wil-berforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, named after an 18th century British abolitionist. It passed Congress with no con-troversy and was signed by for-mer President George W. Bush without a lot of fanfare.

It codified court-ordered protections for unaccompanied young migrants, and modi-fied a distinction in U.S. pol-icy between the treatment of young Mexican migrants and those from other nations.

Under the law, kids from Mexico and Canada who arrive here without their parents or other guardians must go through an initial screening by Border Patrol agents, who can turn them around quickly unless they demonstrate a fear of persecution back home or meet certain other limited cri-teria.

Advocates say those screen-ings are inadequate, and a report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refu-gees this summer said Border Patrol agents make the pre-sumption that Mexican kids don’t have protection needs, rather than taking the neces-sary steps to rule that out.

Youths from other countries, however, are automatically put into deportation proceedings and get an opportunity to make their case before a judge.

firearms, suspected narcotics packaging material, $4,000 in U.S. currency and a 2010 Ford pickup.”

When RCSO officers exe-cuted the warrant, they found Zorn sitting in the driver’s seat of a car at Harrod’s residence. Harrod was seated in the pas-senger seat of the same vehicle, according to an arrest affidavit filed by RCSO officer Jonathan Rhodes.

“A search of the vehi-cle resulted in the seizure of approximately 7.5 grams of a crystal-type substance believed to be methamphetamine,” he said. “The suspected metham-

phetamine was located in the driver seat where Zorn was seated.”

During the course of the exe-cution of the warrant, officers found evidence that allegedly linked Harrod to the substanc-es as well, said Rhodes.

“Evidence obtained during the investigation prior to the execution of the search warrant and evidence located by law enforcement during the search of the Harrod residence linked Harrod to the suspected meth-amphetamine,” he said.

A field test of the substance positively indicated the pres-ence of methamphetamine, the officer said.

Both Harrod and Zorn were arrested and transported to the Rusk County Justice Center.

Roberts said the Rusk Coun-ty District Attorney’s Office and Rusk County Child Pro-tective Services aided into the investigation. He added that he expects more arrests to be made from the investigation.

According to the Texas Penal Code the penalty for a second degree felony is 2-20 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. In addition to imprisonment, an individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the second degree may be pun-ished by a fine not to exceed $10,000.

of children pouring into the U.S. illegally.

Perry, a vocal critic of the White House’s response to the border crisis who is him-self mulling a second presi-dential run, said the state has a responsibility to act after “lip service and empty prom-ises” from Washington.

“I will not stand idly by while our citizens are under assault and little children from Central America are detained in squalor,” the gov-ernor said.

The deployment of Nation-al Guard troops, which may act in a law enforcement capacity under state author-ity, will cost Texas an esti-mated $12 million per month. They will simply be “referring and deterring” immigrants and not detaining people, Texas Adjutant General John Nichols said. But he added that the National Guard could take people into custody if

need be.“We think they’ll come to

us and say, ‘Please take us to a Border Patrol station,” Nichols said.

Messages seeking com-ment were left with the U.S. Customs and Border Protec-tion.

Perry bristled at sugges-tions from some Democratic state lawmakers and business groups that his move means Texas is militarizing is south-ern border.

Still, Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said he didn’t know if troops would be coming to his part of the border and questioned what good they would do if they did.

“Those people are trained for warfare, not for law enforcement,” said Lucio, whose county includes Brownsville. “I think the money would be better spent if they would give it to the local law enforcement that is

close to the border.”More than 3,000 Bor-

der Patrol agents currently work in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, but Perry had repeat-edly asked President Barack Obama to send the National Guard to the border amid an influx of immigrants.

Since October, more than 57,000 unaccompanied chil-dren and teenagers have entered the U.S. illegally — more than double compared to the same period a year earlier. Most have been from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, where rampant gang violence and intense poverty have driven tens of thousands of people outside their borders.

Obama administration offi-cials have said that the flood has slowed in recent weeks, with Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley finding fewer than 500 children last week compared to as many as 2,000 a week last month.

DEAR READERS: On April 11, I printed a letter from “Wondering in Washington,” a man asking why young men in general today have the atti-tude that “any money I earn is mine” in a marriage or live-in situation. He said when he married, he and his wife con-sidered what they earned to be “theirs” — not his or hers. When I asked my “younger readers” to chime in, I was inundated. Some excerpts:

DEAR ABBY: My husband was 26 and I was 24 when we got married. To me, how young couples handle money says a lot about their attitude toward marriage.

My mother always said, “If you can’t trust a man with your money, why would you trust him with your heart?” I

kept that in mind when I was dating, so when my boyfriend and I married, we didn’t have serious underlying issues like addiction, compulsive spend-ing, etc. — MOM OF 2 IN SEATTLE

DEAR ABBY: My first husband controlled all the money, my pay and his. He bought what HE wanted, but didn’t always pay the mort-gage or utilities.

In my second marriage, my money is my money and his money is his. If I earn 60 percent of the income, I pay 60 percent of the shared bills. Whatever is left is up to my own discretion to spend, and the same goes for his pay-check. — LEARNED MY LES-SON IN FLORIDA

DEAR ABBY: I’m a man

in my mid-30s; my wife is in her mid-20s. Many of our friends keep their finances separate, and the reason usu-ally involves hearing their par-ents argue over money. What I find interesting is that the wife usually came up with the idea.

I believe the separation of incomes starts with young women embracing messages of empowerment they heard growing up and applying them not only to the workplace, but home, as well — plus a healthy dose of entitlement that seems common to their generation. — JUST SAYING, IN WIS-CONSIN

DEAR ABBY: Male reader here. Gone are the days of the stay-at-home wife who takes care of the house and raises the children. I’m as guilty of

those preconceptions as any-one. I thought marriage meant being totally devoted to your spouse and you discussed everything.

I now believe both par-ties in a relationship have financial responsibilities to the other. In my first mar-riage, the majority of financial responsibilities fell on me.

The financial obligations in my second marriage are different. We have a separate maintenance agreement. I pay only part of our living expens-es. I can spend whatever I want, when I want, on whatev-er I want. This has prevented many disagreements.

I think the way to handle

finances in a relationship is a rock-solid legal agreement and a lot of premarital coun-seling. Then there are no sur-prises. — J.G. IN TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: I’m 32, recently married. I earn more than my husband, and I’m better at managing money.

We plan to set up a joint account for household expens-es, joint vacations, etc., and maintain individual accounts for whatever money is left. That way, we have a certain amount of independence and freedom.

We don’t consider our rela-tionship to be disposable. But when you grow up like we did and don’t marry until your 30s, you live a considerable amount of your life indepen-dently. We are happy with this

arrangement. — MODERN MARRIAGE IN MICHIGAN

Expectations high for W. Rusk 10-U all-starsBy HUGHES ELLIS

Henderson daily news

NEW LONDON — Expectations were high this season for West Rusk 10-under coach James Mason.

The team finished in the top three at last year’s state tournament as 9-year-olds, and this marked the fourth year for most of the team to be playing together.

The Raiders cruised to the district title, beat Joaquin in a wild state-tour-nament opener and then pitched their way to this weekend’s state champion-ship best-of-3 against White Oak.

Game 1 is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday at Spring Hill. Game 2 is at 9 a.m. Sat-urday at the same location, and a third game would follow the second.

“We were expecting this big time,” said Mason. “We had a lot of experi-

ence playing together and a lot of tal-ent back.”

He said the team was hearing rumors throughout district and state that they were the team to beat at the tournaments.

Mason said that put added pressure on the Raiders. They dealt with it in convincing fashion.

West Rusk outscored its three dis-trict opponents a combined 45-3. After a 16-11 win over Joaquin to open the zone tournament, the Raiders won each of their next four games by at least 10 runs and outscored the oppo-nents a combined 46-3.

“We heard other people saying that we don’t have any weaknesses anywhere,” said Mason. “Most of our team is 10-year-olds, and they’ve been together since they were old enough to play.”

The Raiders have played some of the bigger leagues around East Texas, the coach says.

They’ve beaten Hallsville, Kilgore,

Pittsburg and Gilmer in warmup tour-nament before knocking off Chapel Hill in district.

“Being able to beat these guys makes a world of difference when it comes to our confidence,” said Mason. “The kids are confident, but they’re not cocky.”

The coach said the final score of the game against Joaquin, a 16-11 Raiders’ win, isn’t indicative of how the game was played.

Mason said it would be a great feel-ing for his team to be able to bring a state championship back to the city of New London.

The West Rusk league only has a few teams as compared to other towns with lots more teams and players to draw from for all stars.

“It would be something to win bec-uase it’s something that hasn’t been

done before around here,” said Mason. “We’ve beaten some good teams

that we have no business playing on paper. I haven’t seen these kids get nervous or back down. They listen, they know the game of baseball and they know how to win.”

West Rusk is one of two area teams still alive in the Dixie playoffs.

Henderson’s 12-under team meets Paris in the O Zone State Champion-ship best-of-3.

That series begins Friday and is also set to take place in Spring Hill. The winner advances to the World Series in Lexington, S.C.

Henderson is 10-1 this postseason, and the Lions have won eight straight games since a 17-7 loss to Bullard in the district tournament.

Paris knocked off Mount Pleasant to win the North Zone title.

Baylor has different view as championsassociated Press

DALLAS — Coach Art Briles and Baylor arrived at Big 12 football media days as defending champions for the first time.

Briles has a slightly different take on the Bears’ newfound standing.

“How can you defend and protect some-thing that nobody can take? 2013 is gone forever. That title is ours,” Briles said Mon-day. “We’re attacking 2014 just like every-body else. That’s our mindset with our players, and that’s the way they’ve been approaching everything.”

The first of five coaches on the podium for the first day, Briles used a baseball anal-ogy in that leadoff role.

“The thing that’s a little different is, I don’t know what the commissioner expect-ed, but we’re not going to try to bunt or get a single. I promise you that,” he said. “We’re swinging for the fences. So maybe he should have put us fourth because that’s just the

way we approach the game.”Even with quarterback Bryce Petty and

receiver Antwan Goodley back, Baylor was picked second in the Big 12 media pre-season poll behind Oklahoma.

Kansas State and Texas, who will join the Sooners for the second day at the Omni Dallas Hotel, were picked third and fourth, respectively.

Oklahoma State opens Aug. 30 against defending national champion Florida State and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Win-ston in Arlington, Texas.

The Cowboys will have less available practice time once school starts after falling below the NCAA minimum standard with their Academic Progress Rate score over a four-year period. They can work only 18 hours a week, instead of the standard 20 under NCAA rules.

“We haven’t used the 20 hours in a number of years. And when you put it down on paper, we end up being about 45

minutes short,” Gundy said. “We’ll incor-porate a few new things in two-a-days prior to school starting, when we don’t have any limitations, and we’ll move forward. I’ve challenged the players with accepting responsibility to make up for that time dur-ing the week.”

TCU won three consecutive Mountain West Conference titles before switching conferences two years ago, but is 6-12 in Big 12 games and coming off its first losing sea-son since 2004. Coach Gary Patterson, the former defensive coordinator who directs that side of the ball, made a significant change in hiring co-offensive coordinators Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie this off-season to install a more up-tempo offense.

“Truly a change of philosophy,” Patter-son said. “It’s about scoring points. We can’t turn the ball over. And then on defense, it’s still about stopping the run, still about mak-ing people kick field goals and don’t give up the big play.”

Rangers hold on tobeat NY on the road

associated Press

NEW YORK — Miles Mikolas didn’t need to look into the bat-ter’s box to know who was step-ping in with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. The roaring crowd said it all.

Listening to more than 45,000 New York Yankees fans try to urge Derek Jeter to get one more big hit motivated the young right-hander.

Mikolas got Jeter to ground into a double play, then pitched smoothly into the eighth inning Monday night to lead the Texas Rangers to a 4-2 victory.

Mikolas (1-2) slapped his glove and pumped his fist twice while letting out a shout of approval as he left the field. He retired his final seven batters.

Mikolas’ mom, fiance, sister and stepdad led a group up from Florida to see him win for the first time since Aug. 21, 2012,

with San Diego. He’s had little success this season, coming in with a 10.05 ERA in three starts.

Trailing by one with none on and two outs in the sixth, Texas got run-scoring singles from Geovany Soto, Rougned Odor and Shin-Soo Choo to go ahead in only its third win in 17 July games.

Adrian Beltre drove in the Rangers’ first run with a field-er’s choice in the third inning on one of New York’s five errors — three by starting pitcher Shane Greene (2-1).

Mikolas yielded two runs, including Jacoby Ellsbury’s homer, and four hits in a career-high 7 1-3 innings to outlast Greene.

Joakim Soria gave up a single to Kelly Johnson and plunked pinch-hitter Brian McCann with a pitch before getting Yangervis Solarte to fly out for his 17th save.

Emma Sadell Berry Hous-ton Hunter, 97, affectionately known as “Aunt Sadell,” passed away early Monday morning, July 21, 2014, as she slept peace-fully in her home.

Born Nov. 9, 1916, in Rusk County, Sadell was a lifelong resident of Rusk and Angelina Counties. Her parents bought a 128-acre farm in 1902 in Rusk County making them among the original 14 families who settled the Hickey Community.

In 1939, she married R. Bry-ant Houston, also of Rusk Coun-ty, where together they farmed for most of their marriage.

During World War II, the couple moved to Lufkin where their part in the war effort was spent at Lufkin Industries. Sadell and her husband operat-ed machinery building gears for tanks, landing gear, and engine parts. After the war when they returned to Rusk County, the couple operated a general store.

After 25 years of marriage, Houston died. Six years later Sadell married her childhood sweetheart, Clyde Hunter, who died in 1975.

A self-reliant Sadell contin-ued to operate the farm alone for another decade until mov-ing into Henderson where she worked as a professional seam-stress.

S a d e l l loved dogs and enjoyed c r o c h e t i n g and garden-ing. She was known for growing many varieties of beautiful flow-ers that pass-

ers by would often stop and photograph. She continued to garden and mow her own lawn into her 90s.

A regular at the local senior citizen center where she made many friends, Sadell also enjoyed playing dominoes and bingo. She was a member of Southside Baptist Church.

Sadell will be remembered for her humor and her witty sayings. According to her many nieces and nephews, she could make “magic cornbread” that made everyone smile.

She was preceded in death by parents, Chester A. Berry and Emma E. Cox Berry; husbands, R. Bryant Houston and Clyde C. Hunter; siblings, Leonard L. Berry, Vernon O. Berry, Floyd C. Berry, Mable Berry Rich-ardson, Winnie Berry, Velma Berry Lewis, Vecie A. Berry and Novella Berry Jarvis; nephew, Alfred Jarvis; and great niece, Jill Jarvis Attebery.

She had no children of her own, but is survived by many nieces and nephews includ-ing: niece, Sandra Sadell Jarvis Green and husband Karol Green of Lufkin. Their children are Kara Sadell Green Bohall and husband Troy Bohall of Lufkin, Leann Green Lucas of Lufkin, and Kalen Green and wife Jen-nifer of Spring; niece-in-law, Darlene DeLafosse Jarvis of Lufkin, and son, Andy Jarvis and wife Lea Jarvis of Lufkin; great nieces and nephews, Kalob Bohall and wife Kristi of Diboll, Macky Lucas and Bren-don Bohall of Lufkin, and Sara Green and Jackson Green of Spring; great-great niece and nephews, Aaron Jarvis, Adam Jarvis and Ashton Jarvis, Emma Bohall, Bryce Attebery and Jakob Bohall.

Graveside services were held at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, 2014, at Neeley Cemetery under the direction of Crawford-A. Crim Funeral Home.

Words of comfort may be shared with the family at <www.crawfordacrim.com>.

Police: Texas man posed as veterinarian to treat pets

ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON — Houston police say they arrested a 26-year-old man who posed as a veterinarian

to charge customers for vaccina-tions and other treatment for their pets.

Investigators said in a news release Monday that Wilfredo Gutierrez was arrested last week and charged with unlawful prac-tice of medicine. Harris County court records show Gutierrez pleaded guilty to the charge and was jailed for two days.

He remains in the county jail on a separate charge of posses-sion of a controlled substance, with bond set at $35,000.

Police say Gutierrez was using business names like DogSmart Veterinary Services to enter peo-ple’s homes to treat their pets.

Two swimmers drown in central Florida rip currents

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Fla. — Cen-tral Florida authorities are warning ocean swimmers to beware of rip currents after the deaths of two people over the weekend.

Brevard County Sheriff’s Deputy Maria Fernez says Darrius Rodwell of Mims drowned Saturday and Jose Sanchez of Texas drowned Sunday. Sanchez’s hometown

was not released.Brevard County Ocean

Rescue Assistant Chief Eisen Witcher tells Florida Today that lifeguards rescued 19 people from the rip currents over the weekend.

Forecasters warned that rip current conditions will continue for the next several days.

Witcher urges swimmers at central Florida beaches to stay near lifeguards.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEAUMONT — Authori-ties say federal agents have apprehended a man in Central America who’s wanted in East Texas on charges that include indecency with a child.

Jefferson County sheriff’s Deputy Rod Carroll said Mon-day that 31-year-old Matthew Cherry was arrested in an island community off the north coast of Honduras.

Sheriff’s officials say Cher-ry was wanted for failing to register as a sex offender and two counts of indecency with a child. Carroll says Cherry fled the country about two years ago to avoid prosecution. Offi-cials contend he was preying on children in Honduras.

Cherry is scheduled to be transported to Houston later this week and then taken to Jefferson County.

When is it time for hosPice?Hospice is designed to provide care during the last six months of a life-limiting condi-tion. While many wait too long and don’t seek hospice services until a crisis occurs or symptoms become very difficult to manage, hospice care has the greatest impact when it is implemented as early as possible. We understand that it is very difficult to let go of the hope for a cure, but more time on hospice services means more time to live fully and explore the emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of life.

Through Jesus Christ, you can overcome your jealous fears

Q: I can’t help my feelings of jealousy, although I’ve tried. For example, if I see my husband talking with another woman, I’m always afraid they’ll get too friendly. He gets upset at me for this, but he just doesn’t under-stand my feelings. — Mrs. N.J.

A: The kind of jealousy you describe can be very destructive, and I hope you’ll do everything you can to overcome it. Not only does it lead to mistrust, but it can also destroy relationships and eat away at your soul like an acid. No wonder the Bible says, “Anger is cruel and fury over-whelming, but who can stand before jealousy?” (Proverbs 27:4).

I’m not a psychologist, of course, but I have observed that jealousy often seems to have its roots in a person’s lack of self-

confidence. In other words, you don’t only doubt your husband’s love for you, but you also doubt if you are wor-thy of his love. There may be reasons for these feelings, even dating

back to your childhood. (A wise professional counselor can help you understand this; your pastor may be able to suggest some-one.)

But listen: Those emotions are lying to you! The most important thing I can tell you is that God loves you, and you are valuable to Him. He loves you so much that His Son, Jesus Christ,

was willing to give His life for you. The Bible says, “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us” (1 John 4:16).

Begin by asking Christ to come into your life. Then ask Him, day by day, to help you overcome your jealous fears by filling your heart and mind with the truth of His love for you. The Bible says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:18).

Private Texas lake used to help spawn bigger bass

ASSOCIATED PRESS ZAPATA — Texas wildlife

officials trying to spawn bigger largemouth bass and lure more anglers have turned to an oral surgeon’s private lake to experi-ment with fish genetics, environ-ment and nutrition.

Dr. Gary Schwarz has a 15-year contract with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, allowing the agency to use the new lake on his ranch near Zapata, about 45 miles south-east of Laredo, the San Antonio Express-News reported Mon-day.

The TPWD’s ShareLunker program encourages anglers to lend or donate largemouth bass weighing more than 13 pounds for spawning purposes.

Schwarz’s acquired expertise and research on another one of his projects, La Perla Ranch,

helped to raise bass in a way he thought would produce best results.

“Those bass went into a place prepared for them with forage out the wazoo and no other bass,” Schwarz said. “I believe that the reason for that has to do with habitat and nutrition.”

Schwarz convinced Allen Forshage, director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Freshwater Fishing Center, that his new site could help.

“It was chock full of nutri-tious things to eat because of the diversity in water depths and edge effect I had created in the main lakes where the bass lived,” Schwarz said.

Schwarz, who says he is foot-ing most of the project’s bill, was able to create the forage ponds because he bought Rio Grande irrigation rights with the prop-erty.

Dallas police use civilian workers at county jailASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS — The Dallas Police Department said it will use civilian employees to free up officers at the county jail.

Department commanders recently transferred 10 employ-ees to the jail to watch arrest-ed suspects while the county processes them. The move is aimed at sending officers back out to patrol the streets more quickly instead of forcing them to wait at the jail.

Wait times for processing arrested people can be long because they must be seen by a nurse before they’re admitted into the jail, the Dallas Morn-ing News reported.

That policy, along with other booking guidelines, was estab-lished because of a 2007 settle-ment with the Justice Depart-ment over inmate medical care

and treatment, according to Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price.

Richard Todd, the president of the Dallas Fraternal Order of Police, said booking proce-dures have left officers spend-ing many hours waiting for sus-pects to be admitted.

“The public should be out-raged,” Todd said. “If you add up over 20 years all the hours that have been spent with an officer sitting on a prisoner when those officers could have been out on the street, how many crimes could have been prevented just by visible pres-ence on the street?”

But, Todd said, the depart-ment’s solution won’t work, because civilian guards’ safety is at risk. The switch to civil-ian employees at the county jail also leaves a hole for jobs that still need to be done at the

department, which Todd said is likely to fall on officers. He said the shift could also push the department further away from the police chief’s goal of saving money by hiring fewer officers and getting others out from behind desks.

Deputy Chief Malik Aziz said the civilian employees train every week for working at the jail, adding the sheriff deputies will be nearby if needed.

The responsibilities of the civilian employees included answering phones or check-ing out radios and cars at the police stations, Assistant Chief Michael Genovesi said. He said he believes getting officers out of the jail more quickly will out-weigh any possible time loss for officers at the station who will now do those tasks.

“Everything is about resource allocation,” he said.
