representatives to sharetheir support of the Houseproposal.
We view this as some-what of an arbitrary deci-sion members of the legis-lature wanted to make,Howerton said, which hesaid was based on errone-ous information and a
bias, to a certain extent.Allen explained a con-
ference committee consist-ing of members of bothchambers will ultimatelynegotiate a final budget.Sen. John Whitmire, DHouston, who initiated thepush to close the localfacility, also happens to siton that committee, headded.
We wanted to go intowhy Whitmire picked outthe Mineral Wells facility that was their problemwith contraband andmake sure they all knewCCA spent almost $1 mil-lion and essentially solvedthe problem, Allen said.
From an economicstandpoint, Watson saidthe facility offers benefits
beyond the approximately300 local jobs and signifi-cant tax revenue.
The two economicpoints that really go into
our favor are the $10 perday, per person less ininmate cost compared tothe state average, shesaid, also the fact thattheir programming interms of developinginmates to re-enter theworkforce and society isunique in the state.
In addition to life skillsand vocational training,Watson said the facilitysrate of high school equiva-lency program graduatesis the highest in Texas.
The three ambassadorsto Austin met with repre-sentatives from sevenoffices, including theGovernor, Lt. Governor,and Speaker of the House.
They also met with rep-resentatives with a vestedinterest in the matter, suchas Rep. Sylvester Turner,DHouston, who serves onthe conference committee,and Rep. Tan Parker, RFlower Mound, whoserves as the HouseCorrections Committeechair.
We started out in theoffice of Rep. Jim Kefferand talked with him for awhile, Allen said. He setup a meeting in his officewith the Chief of Staff ofthe Speaker of the House,
Jesse Ancira. Keffer wasvery, very supportive andhim being there was very
important for the firstmeeting and getting thingsstarted.
In addition toThursdays meetings, thelocal leaders spoke withthe office of Rep. MyraCrownover, RDenton,during a conference callFriday.
Looking back, all threeemissaries believed themission was not only justi-fied but beneficial.
At the end of the day, Ifeel the trip was necessaryand effective because someoffices we visited were notaware of why this facilitywas targeted and we wereable to communicate thatmessage firsthand,Watson said, explaining inmany cases they were notgoing to hear it from any-
body but us.Howerton agreed, say-
ing many representativeshad heard all the suppos-edly negative things asso-ciated with [the CCA facil-ity] and we were able to
share what we think arethe positives.
He expressed gratitudeto Keffer, Sen. Craig Estes,RWichita Falls, and Rep.Phil King, RWeatherford,for working to set upmeetings with state legisla-tors, especially busy withthe demands of the currentlegislative session.

Theres a confrontation comingbetween the Obama administra-tion and Republicans in Congressover the most basic question of immi-gration reform: How secure isthe U.S. border with Mexico?
Not only does the adminis-tration not know -- and per-haps doesnt want to know --
but there are signs the borderis less secure than some of themost skeptical Republicansthought.
Last year the Border Patrolbegan experimenting with anew drone-based surveillance systemthat had been developed for findingTaliban fighters in Afghanistan.Starting in the fall, officials used theradar-based system over a fairly smallportion of the Arizona border. Theresults were striking.
According to internal reports,Border Patrol agents used the airborneradar to help find and detain 1,874people in the Sonora Desert betweenOctober 1 (2012) and January 17(2013), reported the Los Angeles
Times recently. But the radar systemspotted an additional 1,962 people inthe same area who evaded arrest anddisappeared into the United States.
That means officers caughtfewer than half of those who made
the crossing in that part ofArizona. If those results arerepresentative of other sectorsof the border, then everythingthe administration has saidabout border security iswrong.
These revelations are instark contrast to the adminis-trations declaration that the
border is more secure thanever due to greater resources having
been deployed to the region, and thatlower rates of apprehensions signifyfewer individuals are crossing, Rep.Michael McCaul, chairman of theHouse Homeland Security Committee,wrote in a recent letter to HomelandSecurity Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Since the creation of DHS,Congress has provided significantfunding increases in the number of

We are allJohnny Foreigners
By COKIE ROBERTSand STEVEN V. ROBERTS
On the popular TV dramaDownton Abbey, the centralcharacter, LordGrantham, turns tohis dinner guests andsmirks, There
always seems to besomething of theJohnny Foreignerabout the Catholics.
Grantham is anEnglishman, speak-ing in 1920, but xeno-phobia has alwaysbeen a central tenetof American life aswell. We cherish ourheritage as a nationof immigrants, andyet we resent and reject each wave ofnewcomers: Catholics and Jews,Italians and Irish, Japanese andChinese. Since 9/11, Muslims havetopped our list of suspicious JohnnyForeigners. And since the Bostonbombers were Muslims of Chechenorigin, their vicious attack hasspawned a cynical attempt to rekindlenativist anxieties and thwart immigra-
tion reform.Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky offered
a particularly egregious example ofimmigrant-bashing. He sent a letter toSenate leader Harry Reid bristling with
dark warnings aboutnewcomers who seethewith malicious intentand are poised to com-
mit future acts of terror.His answer: Delay thereform bill now beforethe Senate. Which is tan-tamount to killing it.
Vigilance against ter-rorism is a profoundnational priority, but thesort of rhetoricemployed by Paul andother opponents ofimmigration reform isinaccurate and irrespon-
sible. In fact, the Senate bill wouldmake us safer and stronger as a nation,not weaker. Backers of reform mustpush forward and face down the forcesof fear.
Sen. Pat Leahy of Vermont, the chair-
man of the Judiciary Committee, wasabsolutely right when he warned those

To the Editor,Our founding fathers
thought it so important thatthe citizens be able keepand bear arms that they spe-cifically enumerated thatGod-given right in our con-stitution. Keep in mind thatthey had just fought a waragainst an unjust govern-ment largely equipped with
the arms that our citizensmaintained for their owndefense. The second amend-ment to our constitutionwas not intended to protectthe rights of hunters andsportsmen, nor even targetshooters; it is intended toensure that our citizens beable to defend themselves
with the finest militaryweapons available.Background checks are
just another stone placed inthe path of those whochoose to exercise their
God-given right.Raf Seibert,Mineral Wells

experienced a bloodbathat the next election. The
liberal/progressive agen-da regarding guns haszero to do with crime con-trol and is all about
increasing the dependenceon the government,including the very funda-mental right of self-defense.
In this the Index is also
playing the liberal tune.Case in point, in a recentedition the headline wassomething to the effect
that it was presenting localopinions on the Senategun legislation. The articleconsisted in the opinion ofa single resident (who justso happened to see no
problem with the pro-posed legislation) and theChief of Police who avoid-ed the issue with the argu-
ment about the additionalfiscal burden thatenhanced backgroundchecks would place onlocal jurisdictions. I sus-pect if the writer of the
article had spent a littletime talking to people hewould have found manyagainst the legislation for
every one he for it.I guess this is the direc-
tion the nations newspa-pers are going and that iswhy the nations newspa-pers are dying. Thinking
people want to knowwhat is going on and toget an insight into bothsides of the issues they are

By NAT HENTOFF
Id feared that, afterGeorge W. Bush andDick Cheney and, evenworse, Barack Obama,the Fourth Amendmentsprotection of our personalprivacy had nearly van-ished. But on April 17, amajority of the SupremeCourt, ruling in Missouriv. McNeely, remembereda fundamental liberty welost during the Britishoccupation that helpedignite the AmericanRevolution.
It should also be notedthat the ruling was large-
ly ignored by the pell-mell media in all of itsforms.
As John W. Whiteheadof the Charlottesville,Va.-based RutherfordInstitute (Dedicated tothe defense of civil liber-ties and human rights)put it in the organiza-
tions news release head-
lining this vital decision:Fourth AmendmentVictory: Citing BodilyIntegrity, U.S. SupremeCourt Prohibits PoliceFrom Forcibly TakingWarrantless BloodSamples From DUI (driv-ing under the influence)Suspects (rutherford.org, April 18).
Whitehead had alsofiled an amicus briefbefore the court on behalfof the defendant inMissouri v. McNeely.
Heres the case: Whiledriving erratically inOctober 2010, Tyler
McNeely was pulled overby a Missouri state high-way patrolman, whoarrested him on suspi-cion of drunk drivingand took him to a hospi-tal to undergo a bloodtest for alcohol content.McNeely didnt want tosubject himself to a blood
test, but the officerignored him and had hisblood drawn anyhow.Based on the results ofthe blood test, McNeelywas then charged withdriving under the influ-ence.
Its worth noting thatJustice Sonia Sotomayor,writing for the majorityof the court in upholdingMcNeelys refusal to con-sent, described the forcedextraction of a personsblood as:
An invasion of bodilyintegrity (that) implicatesan individuals most per-sonal and deep-rootedexpectations of privacy.
Crucial to the outcomeof this case, as Whiteheademphasizes, is at nopoint did the officerattempt to obtain a war-
rant authorizing theextraction.
As Ive previously stat-ed, Sotomayor is a valu-able addition to our high-est court because of herconsistent critical think-
ing. It is quite a contrastfrom the rigid, self-righ-teous prejudgments of
Justice Samuel Alito. Ihave her full judgment inthis case, and it is illumi-nating -- not only forlegal scholars but also forthe citizenry at large -- tosee how she reached herconclusion, which differsfrom many drunken driv-ing prosecutions.
The FourthAmendment forbidsunreasonable searchesand seizures, therebyfirst requiring a warrantfrom a judge to establish
probable cause for asearch. Sotomayor pointsout that there is expedi-tious processing of war-rant applications, particu-larly in contexts likedrunk-driving investiga-tions (to quickly get awarrant) where the evi-dence supporting proba-
ble cause is simple.The law now allows a
federal magistrate judgeto consider informationcommunicated by tele-phone or other reliableelectronic means.
But there must be thatjudge-issued warrant tothe probable cause of thesearch before the extrac-tion of blood -- not justthe police officers suspi-cions.
Whitehead makes thiscrucial point concerningMissouri v. McNeely:
While public safety isof great concern, especial-ly when it comes to seri-ous offenses such as driv-ing under the influence ofalcohol, Americans con-stitutional rights cannot
be wholly discounted andconveniently discarded.
This case has far-reaching implications thatgo beyond one mansrun-in with the police.
The Supreme Court isto be commended for rec-ognizing that if we allowthe government agents
broad powers to invadeour bodies without con-
sent or court order, thebodily integrity of all per-sons in the United Stateswill be in serious jeopar-dy.
And thats whyMissouri v. McNeely is so
important and shouldvebeen widely covered.
So did you see any-thing about this case inthe media you go to forinformation on the stateof your individual consti-tutional liberties?
At stake here and inother government eva-sions of a judicial warrantin search cases is a prose-cutor claiming a per serule, which findlaw.comdefines as a generalizedrule applied (by prosecu-tors) without consider-ation for specific circum-stances.
In other words, whatthis comes down to, asWhitehead makes clear, isthe Supreme Courtrejected arguments bystate officials asking it toestablish a per se rulethat all cases of drunk

GARNER In just its secondyear, the Garner IndependentSchool District choir has alreadyreceived national recognition.
According to music teacher andchoir director Julie Troutwine, 16young singers recently traveled toColorado where they took part ina competition with schools fromacross the country.
The group took away two tro-phies, she said, one for receiving asuperior rating and one for Best inClass.
She said she is proud of her stu-dents, explaining the choir pro-gram has flourished since itsinception.
"This is my second year atGarner and we started choir last
year," she said. "They didn't have achoir up to that point."
With a passion and concentra-tion on vocal performance,Troutwine said she is pleased tohave the opportunity to share thatpursuit with the students atGarner.
"We have a total of 20 in thechoir this year," she noted. "Lastyear I had 10."
The increase in interest is signif-icant, she said, especially consider-ing Garner currently has just 188students on campus.
"To have 20 kids in choir, I feelreally lucky," she said, explaining
"they can choose between art,choir and band."The students have been recog-
nized in numerous UniversityInterscholastic League events thisyear, Troutwine said.
"Last year I had one little girlget into the regional choir in thefall," she added. "This year I hadfour."
She explained the Colorado fes-tival was not associated with UIL.
"We did submit an application,"she said, noting the choir wasselected from applicants "all overthe United States."
Her students will remain active,she explained, noting they are pre-paring for an upcoming concert atthe school.
The public is invited to attendthe exhibition Tuesday at 7 p.m. atthe Garner school cafeteria.
"We did not get here without alot of fundraisers and a lot of com-munity support," Troutwine noted,thanking those who have beenactive in helping the choir growand succeed.

Family and close long-time friends.You cant get better than that!
As many of you know, our family hasa dinner once a month. We get togetheron a Sunday afternoon to visit and tocelebrate any birthdays or anniversariesthat have happened or will happen thatmonth.
In the month of April we had twobirthdays Rafs sister, Mary, and ourson-in-law Brian both celebrated their
birthdays. Also, one of my closestfriends, Dianne, and her husbandDub, celebrated their anniversary. Ona whim I decided to invite Dianneand Dub, along with her brother Jack
and his girlfriend and my other life-long friend, Helen. And everyone,except our oldest daughter Kathi,turned up...well, not all the grand-children, as John is a policeman andhad to work and Joey is a Marinenow stationed in North Carolina.Even our son-in-law Darrell andgranddaughter Beth came in fromMidland for the occasion!
What a wonderful time we had.We have a nice deck and patio in the
back with loads of garden area andfreshly planted flowers and tomatoes.Raf grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.I make a salad with a wonderful limeand cilantro vinaigrette and two cob-
blers, a strawberry cream cheese cob-bler for my sister-in-law and a cherry
cobbler for Brian. Added to that, wehad chips and dips, fresh fruit andvegetables, baked beans, hot dogtrimmings, and a lovely chocolatecake that Dianne made. Ill add thestrawberry cobbler recipe at the endof the column. It is good!
I cannot stop thanking God foryesterday. I am very blessed, not onlyto have a loving family, whom I guessI sometimes take for granted, but tohave friends whom I have known, lit-erally...as my mother would say,since before we were born.
Helen, Dianne, and I grew up togeth-er. Our mothers were friends before wewere born. We went to church, churchcamp at Glen Lake, YF, Girl Scouts, and,of course, school together. We havent all
been together in several years. But, oh,my, what fun we had. We laughed andate and laughed some more. We toldstories about our childhood and ourfamilies. We remembered. I think thereis a special bond among friends whohave known each other for seventyyears and continue to be friends all dur-ing that time.
There were times in my life when Ifelt I was drowning, and if it hadnt
been for either Dianne or Helen, andtheir friendships, I might have done
just that. I am so thankful for theirfriendship, and for the friendship ofothers in our group who are stillaround and have loved me andallowed me to love them for all ofthose seventy years of my life.

HERMAN by Jim Unger KIT N CARLYLE by Larry Wright
by Harriette Cole
DEAR HARRIETTE: What do youdo when you're in a relationship but youwant to start dating again? I met thisman on Facebook, and I would like totake him out for his birthday. He ishandsome, and he is someone withwhom I can see myself having a relation-ship. We started to correspond via emailfor a few weeks until we exchangedphone numbers. Talking on the phone is
just easier. My male friend liked the ideaof going out for his birthday, and thatmade my heart smile.
During one of our numerous con-versations, I told my male friend that Iwas married and that my husband and Ihave been separated for 15 years. To mysurprise, he was taken aback by thestatement. He told me that he doesn'twant a woman who is married. I toldhim it was not a big deal. I really likethis guy, and I want to see what devel-ops from our friendship. I am not plan-ning to divorce my husband anytimesoon. I am lonely and want companion-ship. What is a woman to do? -- TillDeath Do Us Part?, Baltimore
DEAR TILL DEATH DO USPART?: Why are you surprised at yoursuitor's surprise? I think it is a goodthing that a man does not want to date a
woman who is married. That you areseparated is different from married, andyou admit that you are not planning toget divorced anytime soon. Why is that?Are you benefiting in some way from
being married to your husband eventhough you have not been together foryears? Is being married a safety for you?
You are living in that space of hav-ing your cake and wanting to eat it, too.
You are legally married but not withyour husband. You are lonely and wantcompanionship, but you are not legallyavailable to receive it. You may want tothank this suitor for making your dilem-ma so obvious. Do yourself a favor: Takecare of first things first. Clear the way tohave a healthy new relationship.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My neighborfrom back home died several years ago. Iwas included in his will, which wentthrough years of sluggish movement inthe court system. Finally, I have beentold what was left to me, and I don'teven want it. I feel so stupid having held
onto this notion that I was really gettingsomething. What do I do if I don't wantit? -- Willed Out, Shreveport, La.
DEAR WILLED OUT: You shouldhave received information from theestate explaining that you do not have toaccept the items. Essentially, you need toget in touch with the official person incharge of the dispersion of the will.Explain that while you appreciate yourneighbor's gesture, you will be unable touse the item(s) left for you. Suggest thatthe administrator of the estate dispose ofit in whatever way he or she sees fit -- orsearch for another family member whomay appreciate that which isn't right foryou at this time.

Universal Uclick Almanac
by Bernice Bede Osol
There are strong indications
that you will form a powerfulalliance in the year ahead that
could prove to be helpful to
your career. The value of this
partnership will depend on
your ability to keep it confi-
dential.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- There's a chance that you
could be domineering in a
one-on-one relationship, which
would be counterproductive.
Use charm to get what youwant.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- It's nice to be helpful, but
don't take on so many burdensthat it makes you ineffective.
When you're bogged down and
can't function, you won't do
anybody any good.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Stick to the plan of a social
engagement, instead of trying
to make a last-minute change.
Your alterations won't addanything of value.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If
you're not careful, you could
easily yield to peer pressure
and agree to do something thatdoes not serve your best inter-
est. Be firm and stand your
ground.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Just because someone is a col-
orful talker doesn't mean that
he or she is a knowledgeable
one. Don't be mesmerized by
the flash and totally overlook
substance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
The need for instant gratifica-
tion could cause you to spend
your money foolishly. Wait
until you find the perfect buy
instead of snapping up the firstoffer you come across.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- If you make an impulsive
commitment or promise,
there's a good chance you'll
end up regretting it. Be very
careful on what or to whom
you pledge your word.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- If a friend or
associate is raring to go, you
might be a bit too retiring for
him or her. Instead of seeking
solitude, get out and try to
have fun.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You'll be eager to hang
out with people, yet you might
not enjoy being in a large gath-
ering full of new faces. Stick
to your familiar inner circle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- There is nothing wrong
with being a little competitive,
provided it's for a reasonable,
constructive purpose. Today,
however, your urge to winmight come from a negative
source.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You'll be susceptible tohigh-risk proposals that prom-
ise something for nothing.
Look at all "too good to be
true" deals with a gimlet eye.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- You'll enjoy conversational
exchanges as long as they're
not centered on personal or
weighty subjects. Don't allowyourself to get drawn into
emotional repartee.
