Kelcy Laing-Hardrick graduated from Eastern New Mexico University and is currently employed as a Social Worker for the State of Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF). She says, "More than any other skill emphasized as important for children, I believe that youth, especially youth in our communities, who can express their feelings verbally, and through writing have a hand up on a child gifted in any other area. Learning how to communicate effectively is of prime importance and should be a parent's number one goal for their child."

'Active Shooter on Campus' Exercise on April 19 – Here’s a scenario.  A person walks into your office, acting frazzled and a bit scatterbrained as you answer a phone call.  You finish your phone call, look up and see that the individual has a gun as he walks out the door.  What do you do?  Who do you call?  How do you warn other people on campus?

Find out everything you need to know about having a shooter on campus at this workshop.  It will take place in the Zia Room on Thursday, April 19, from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

Huwer Extends Hit Streak on Senior Day, Hounds Fall to Cardinals

PORTALES, N.M. — Senior designated hitter Joe Huwer (Boise, Idaho/Timberline HS / Wenatchee Valley) from the Eastern New Mexico University baseball team (12-25; LSC 2-17) extended his hit streak to a season-best nine games, with a three-for-five performance, with a double, two runs batted in and three runs scored, over Sunday’s Lone Star Conference doubleheader against Incarnate Word (16-15; LSC 11-8). The Greyhounds dropped a 6-3 decision in the opener and a 19-11 contest in the nightcap.

The Hounds appeared to be in control of the opener, with Daniel Sterling (Jr., RHP, Rosemond, Calif./West Hills College) retiring the first 10 UIW batters of the game, before escaping a three-hit jam in the top of the fourth. John Zule doubled one-out into the inning, but was tagged out at third, attempting to advance on what initially appeared to be a wild pitch. After giving up a pair of singles, Sterling induced a ground ball to end the threat. Mitch Wolfe (Sr., 1B, Litchfield Park HS/Agua Fria HS) and Huwer led off the bottom of the inning with back-to-back grounds-rule doubles, to give the Hounds a 1-0 lead, but UIW starter. Jorge Guarneros worked around a pair of walks to escape the rally. Huwer and Peter Creamer (Jr., C, Boston, Mass./Santa Rosa CC) added RBI singles in the fifth, as Eastern built a 3-0 lead. Incarnate Word pounded out eight of their 12 base hits over the sixth and seventh innings, taking the lead for good, 4-3, on Jordan Littlefield’s three-run homer in the sixth inning.

Wolfe, Huwer and Derek Crenshaw (Jr., RF, Pinole Valley, Calif./Solano CC) each had two base hits for ENMU. Sterling scattered nine hits over six innings, in taking the loss. He allowed three earned runs and struck out two batters. Guarneros earned the win, with a five-inning, eight-hit effort.

Eastern got off to a quick start in the nightcap, taking advantage of two walks and a hit batsman in the first inning. Daniel Binz (Jr., 2B, Santa Rosa, Calif./Santa Rosa CC) gave ENMU the lead, with a one-out RBI double and Crenshaw followed with a two-run single. Incarnate Word scored eight unanswered runs to seize an 8-3 lead, but the Greyhounds, rallied for five runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull even. Left fielder Brandon Devries (Sr., Colorado Springs, Colo./Mitchell HS/Lamar CC) and Mike Medina (Sr., C/3B/Las Cruces, N.M./Las Cruces HS) drove in runs with singles during the inning, while another scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Creamer. The Cardinals exploded for 11 runs in the sixth inning and pulled away for the win.

Medina drove in three runs with a two-for-three performance at the plate, while Creamer and Crenshaw each had a pair of RBIs. Marc Gomez earned the win for UIW after five innings.

The Eastern New Mexico University baseball team will host University of the Southwest in the final home game of the season, on Tuesday. The first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. MDT. – Adam Pitterman

Daugherty Provisionally Qualifies at Texas Tech Open

LUBBOCK, TEXAS— Jacob Lozano (Jr., Hobbs, N.M./Hobbs High School) and Pedro Martinez (Jr., Keller, Texas/Fossil Ridge High School) won the men’s 10,000 meter and the men’s 3,000 meter steeplechase, respectively, while Kassie Daugherty (Sr., Bridgeport, Texas/Bridgeport High School) recorded a provisional qualifying throw in the discus to highlight the Texas Tech held at the Terry and Linda Fuller Track and Field Complex Saturday. 

The men’s 4x100 meter relay finished first overall with a 41.80, while Marcus Oakley (Alamogordo, N.M./Alamogordo High School) finished second in the men’s hammer throw, tossing a 162’7”.

Alesha Jones (Fr. Wilcox, Ariz./Wilcox High School) finished fifth in the women’s 3,000 meter steeplechase with a 12:29.11, while Brittany Buchanan (Albuquerque N.M./Hope Christian High School) notched a second place finish in the women’s 5,000 meter run with a 20:34.01. 

The Eastern New Mexico University track and field team will travel to Walnut, Calif., next weekend for the Mt. Sac Relays. – Adam Pitterman

Aguirre and VonSchriltz Lift Zias to Split with ACU    

ABILENE, Texas— On the final day of their LSC series, the Eastern New Mexico University softball team (13-32; LSC 5-18) split a doubleheader with Abilene Christian University (28-12; LSC 14-8). After falling 6-2 in game one, Josette Aguirre (Sr., OF, Moriarty, N.M./ Moriarty High School) and Kuuleokealoaha VonSchriltz (Fr., 2B, Las Cruces, N.M./ Las Cruces High School) combined for four RBIs and lifted the Zias to a 4-2 victory on Saturday afternoon at Poly Wells Field.

In game one, the Wildcats exploded with six runs in the third inning and cruised to the finish line. With another shutout looming, the Zias bats came alive and were able to tack on two runs in the top of the seventh, but fell by a 6-2 final.

Game two proved much more excitement for the Diamond Zias as an explosion of offense in the sixth inning propelled them to a victory. Abilene Christian jumped out on top and picked up solo runs in both the first and third innings.

In the fourth, the Zias cut the deficit in half with a solo homerun by Aguirre. After nothing doing in the fifth, the Zias rallied in the top of the sixth. With one out, Katie Ramsay (Fr., P/1B, Keller, Texas/ Keller High School) started the rally with a double to left center.  Aurelia Sandoval (Fr., C, Farmington, N.M./ Piedra Vista High School) followed with a walk to put two Zias on the bases. With one Zia in scoring position, Aguirre got her second hit of the day and plated pinch runner Devin Higgins (Sr., OF, Reno, Nev./ McQueen High School/ Southwestern Oregon Community College) and tied the game at two apiece. After a ground out which advanced the runners, VonSchriltz pounded a ball into left center and plated both Zias, giving Easter New Mexico the 4-2 lead.

With just six outs remaining, the Zias closed out the game which gave the Zias their fifth LSC win, and Ramsay’s first conference win in the circle.

Aguirre went two-for-three during game two, while Melanie Alderette (Sr., OF, Albuquerque, N.M./ Valley High School/ Luna Community College), Ramsay, and VonSchriltz each picked up pair of hits on the day. The Wildcats were led by Keanna Winkfield who collected five hits on the day.

The Zias will be back in action Tuesday, April 17th when they conclude their LSC rival series with West Texas A&M University. The first pitch is scheduled for 4 PM MST.

She will discuss the economic and environmental impact of traveling in a vegetable oil-fueled vehicle, including business and entrepreneurial applications.

Following the presentation, a free lunch will be served to those who attend. Louise will then perform in concert at 1:00 p.m. Louise sings original radio-ready songs that blend folk and Americana with sultry jazz. Live performance video is posted at www.gabriellelouise.com

Beauty and the Beast, music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice and book by Linda Woolverton, tells story of the independent Belle and the Beast with the soul of a prince as they cast an enchanting spell over the audience. This “tale as old as time” follows the adventures of Belle, a bright young woman who finds herself imprisoned in the castle of a mysterious beast. With the assistance of the castle's enchanted staff, a delightful and tender romance develops between these two unlikely friends and Belle soon learns the most important lesson of all — that true beauty comes from within.

Friendly Tips About Monday Memo Style – For anyone who thinks that we arbitrarily change the way that they submit items to the Monday Memo, we are simply using (mostly) Associated Press style.

We do try to make items friendlier by using Dr. for professors (which the AP does not) and first names or Mr. or Ms. with last names for others on second reference – versus AP style of using last names without Dr., Mr., Ms. or Mrs.

We always capitalize and spell out days of the week: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

We spell out March, April, May, June and July. We abbreviate Jan., Feb., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. (We do spell out all months in headlines.)

We write times as 6:30 a.m. or 7 p.m. – not as 6:30 am or 7:00pm.

We write dates as March 3, 2011, or Sept. 10, 2011, – not as Mar. 3rd, 2011 or September 10th 2011.

We do not capitalize majors: anthropology – not Anthropology (unless the word would normally be capitalized: English, Spanish).

We use professor of music – not Professor of Music.

We do not capitalize fall semester or spring semester.

We use "and" instead of "&" – spring and fall, not Spring & Fall.

We do capitalize formal names of departments or colleges – Counseling and Career Services, College of Business, Department of Communication (but not communication department).

We also go easy on exclamation points – if you win the lottery, it might be worth three !!!

We never capitalize every letter in a word – FIRST FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY NIGHT!!! (unless it's the correct spelling for a company, restaurant, etc. – ECEL, TGIF).

We are not trying to offend anyone by editing their copy – just following guidelines.

This is just a friendly explanation.

For questions, email monday.memo@enmu.edu. Thank you.
