About 3:45 a.m. Wednesday, offi cers — including Hero, the newest dog to the unit — were dispatched to an auto burglary call at Canyons at 45 West apartments. Upon searching the parking lot, authorities said they saw four men running away, and the men did not stop fl eeing despite offi cers’ orders to stop. A witness told police that the men climbed a fence and went into the Meadows Apartments, said department Cpl. Jerry Neufeld. Hero jumped a fi ve-foot concrete wall and landed in the suspect’s truck bed, and the men got out and fl ed on foot, police said. Hero caught two men immediately and found another nearby. Authorities said they have not found the fourth person. Matthew Mitchell, 20; Toby Mitchell, 18; and Brandon Lee Bellinghausen, 17, were taken to the Randall County jail. Neufeld said offi cers have recovered and returned some stolen property. — Amarillo Globe-News • • • AMARILLO — Atmos Energy and the companies it sprang from have been Amarillo fi xtures since 1906, and the latest incarnation is ready for its debut in the form of a state-of-the-art call center.

Diners who ate at the restaurant at 4009 S. Loop 289 from Aug. 31 through Sept. 8 may have been exposed, said Lubbock Health Director Bridget Faulkenberry. The employee, who worked in food preparation, has not worked at the restaurant since Sept. 8, Faulkenberry said. Meanwhile, the city is working to obtain vaccine to offer anyone who ate at the restaurant during that period. Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver, and symptoms may include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort. Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes, may occur several days after other symptoms appear. The virus is spread person-to-person through a fecal-oral transmission route, and typically occurs when someone eats food or drinks a beverage contaminated by a person with the virus. The disease is not spread through coughing, sneezing or casual contact. The best way to keep the disease from spreading is by thorough handwashing after using the restroom, before touching food or drink, and after changing a diaper, Faulkenberry said. — Lubbock Avalanche-Journal • • • POST — The Caprock Cultural Association persuaded stage veteran Will McCrary to return 25 years ago and open a theater in Post. On Tuesday, the Garza Teen hit by DPS trooper had been skateboarding COLLEGE STATION (AP) — Investigators say a Central Texas boy who died after being struck by a Texas trooper’s vehicle had been on a skateboard.

WILLIS -- ATTORNEY AT LAW 1-800-883-9858 CALL FOR A FREE CASE REVIEW Theatre on Post’s Main Street — the building into which the late McCrary breathed life in 1986 — may have seen its doors closed forever. At the very least, the incorporated company that has been staging plays at the Garza was told Tuesday by the Post City Council to cancel its current play and its 2011-12 season. Building safety issues were cited as the reason behind the abrupt closure. Grimes & Associates of Wolfforth inspected the building and pointed to buckling of the roof as the most concerning factor, said John Davis, the theater’s marketing chairman and a senior editor for Texas Tech’s offi ce of communications and marketing. The fi rm estimated required improvements costs at between $1.5 million and $1.8 million. Davis said the theater group has spent about $70,000 on renovations to the building the last fi ve years, including a $35,000 renovation of the upper balcony area and technical booth. — Lubbock Avalanche-Journal To comment: jthornton@hearstnp.com 806.296.1360 Mysterious light likely fireball LOS ANGELES (AP) — A brilliant bright light seen streaking in the night sky over the Southwest was most likely a fi reball — a fragment of an asteroid that entered Earth’s atmosphere, a NASA scientist said.

There is a time that men and women know and have known, since dirt was young, that things are going to happen. It must have felt like that on Dec. 6, 1941, and on July 3, 1776. It sure felt that way to Dewey Decker as he walked along down Lewis Creek. In his right hand was a splendid streamer fl y, a bivisible with jungle cock eyes, tied for him by that genius of piscatorial playthings and premeditated passion, Marvin Pincus. Maybe it was just the time of year that made Dewey feel so . . . ready. Ready for a girlfriend . . . a real one. A steady one. Ready for a change in his life. Would the woman be Emily Stickles from the county? Emily Stickles, that safeguard of county offi cialdom, that defender of bureaucratic brilliance. Emily of the incredible cheekbones. Emily, who tried to get Marvin’s Fly Tying Love Center killed. Or was it just the change to fall. Could be. You see down there along the creek? Yep. The kids are still swimming in the swimming hole, but now they aren’t staying in as long as they used to. There’s Doc and Bert, casting fl ies farther downstream, hoping to catch something besides another idyllic afternoon. Dewey counted his blessings as he went. After all, he knew he was accident prone and all thumbs. He could never be a mechanic or a surgeon or a waiter. But he had found his niche in the fertilizer business. His product is worth absolutely nothing if he should ruin it. There is a constant free source of it at the dairy and the feedlot. The only instrument approaching sharpness is his shovel, and his only employees at the moment are earthworms, turning manure into highgrade compost. They work for free. He decided, right there as he walked along, to buy a new necktie for meeting Emily. Blue, I think. Life is good.

Slim Randles lives in Albuquerque. ol_slim@yahoo.com www.slimrandles.com Bankruptcy could prompt cathedral sale SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge will move ahead with a bankruptcy reorganization plan that includes the sale of the Crystal Cathedral megachurch in Southern California. The Orange County Register says the court on Wednesday set a timeline for creditors to approve the plan and pick a buyer for the fi nancially distressed church. Its leaders have said the Crystal Cathedral was not for sale and that they would raise the $50 million to save it. There are several pending offers for the 40-acre Orange County campus. The soaring Crystal Cathedral is a Southern California landmark designed by the acclaimed architect Philip Johnson. The well-known “Hour of Power” televangelist program is broadcast from its glass-paned sanctuary. Declining donations and a tumultuous leadership transition have devastated its fi nances. Bride loses best friend, but soon gains another Lindsy met her best friend on the beach when she was a teenager who didn’t know the true meaning of love. His name was Tony. The fun-loving pair was inseparable during their high school years in Michigan, until a major change in one of their lives forced a candid re-evaluation of their relationship. “Looking back, it was more than a best friendship, but we didn’t realize it until we graduated and he was going to go away,” Lindsy told The Unknown Soldiers. “He was headed to boot camp.” Lindsy married her best friend, Sgt. Tony Matteoni, on July 19, 2008, with almost no money and absolutely no furniture. Their fi rst apartment was fi lled with lawn chairs, boxes of Ramen noodles, and the air mattress they spent their entire marriage sleeping on. “I couldn’t do things like that with anyone but Tony,” Lindsy said. “(It’s) one of the fondest memories of my life: spending time with him and not being distracted.” When Sgt. Matteoni was ordered to report to North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune, it was understood that his fi rst combat deployment was almost certainly on the horizon. “I was scared — naturally, I think,” Lindsy recalled. “But the good thing about having been best friends for such a long time is that we knew it was going to work.” The day before Tony deployed to Afghanistan with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, Lindsy, incredibly, found out she was expecting the couple’s fi rst child. While at war, the Marine received ultrasound pictures ““Serving Serving the finest finest since since 1957 1957 ”” UNKNOWN SOLDIERS Now Open 7 Days a Week to better serve you!

When he called home, Tony wanted only to discuss Lindsy and the bundle of joy they were expecting. “He implied that he wasn’t having a very good time (in Afghanistan), but he didn’t want to dwell on it,” Lindsy said, while also emphasizing that even while experiencing war, her husband never lost his sense of humor. “He’d call and want to joke around.” During a sleepless night in Afghanistan, Tony knew that half a world away Lindsy was fi nding out if their baby was a boy or girl. After some coaxing from his fellow Marines, Tony woke up his fi rst sergeant and asked to phone home. “He was able to call for 90 seconds,” she said. “He said ‘Linds, what’s the verdict?’ ” It was a girl. Tony was fl oored. “He said he’d be a good dad and she’d be daddy’s girl,” Lindsy said. “We said our ‘I love yous’ and I told him to be safe. He said ‘Linds, you be safe.’ ” It was Lindsy and Tony’s last conversation. After wondering why she hadn’t heard from her husband the next day for a more lengthy chat about their big news, military messengers arrived on Lindsy’s doorstep. “I saw the shadows of the Marines and their shapes,” she painfully recounted. “I knew by the time I answered the door.” Sgt. Tony Matteoni, 22, was killed Oct. 1, 2010, in an accident that occurred while the Marine was supporting combat operations in Afghanistan’s volatile Helmand Province. “I remember thinking to myself, ‘Now, what do I do?’ ” she said. “I had been so happy.” As Michigan came together to honor the fallen Marine during solemn ceremonies in Union City, Kalamazoo and Augusta, Lindsy thought about an emotional conversation she had with Tony before he left for Afghanistan. “He picked me up and put me on his lap,” she recalled. “He said ‘Linds, don’t worry if I die. Because if I die, I’ll take your hand and we’ll go to heaven together.’ ” Inside a Michigan hospital at 2:04 a.m. Feb. 24, Lindsy Matteoni, now a 22-year-old widow, met her new best friend. Her name is Avery Danielle. Now 6 months old, daddy’s little girl is the light of her mother’s life. “She is amazing, just like Tony,” she said. “I wish he was here to see her. He would be so tickled that she looks just like him.” Sent down to Earth by her loving father, Avery is a permanent reminder of a Marine’s ultimate sacrifi ce. When Lindsy and Tony meet again on the beaches of heaven, they will continue watching over a life they created during the pain of America’s longest war.

And it’s fi nally paying off. Guinness World Records named Walton the woman with the longest fi ngernails on Wednesday, introducing “The Dutchess” and her nails at an event in New York City. The Las Vegas woman helped kick off the 2012 edition of the Guinness World Records book, which goes on sale later this month. Walton’s nails measure 10-feet-2-inches on her left hand and 9-feet-7-inches on her right hand. She said she does her own nails and makeup and does household chores even though her nails twist and turn. “I hate all the cleaning, but I do it. And the makeup, I only wear so much,” said Walton, who has also been working on a singing career while raising a family. The previous record holder for longest nails was Lee Redmond of Salt Lake City, according to the Guinness World Records website. Redmond’s nails measured a total 28 feet in 2008 but she lost her nails in a car crash the following year, the site said.
