Instructor needed for domestic violence class
By LYNETTE SOWELL
Cove Leader-Press
Aware Central Texas is
searching for volunteer instruc-
tors for its WINGS classes for
women, both in Copperas Cove
and Cameron.
WINGS stands for Wom-
en Inspiring and Networking
through Growth and Strength and
is a course for those ages 14 and
older.
“Classes are taught in pairs,”
said Jo-Ell Guzman, who in ad-
dition to being the victim assis-
tance coordinator for the Temple
Police Department, is also affili-
ated with Aware Central Texas.
Central Texas
CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION CENTER
“The ideal instructor is one who
has not been a victim of violence
in the past two years, be at least
21 years of age, willing to attend
Aware Central Texas training as
well as WINGS group training, as
well as have a heart for wanting
to serve.”
Current sites for the WINGS
courses include Temple, Belton
and Killeen, but Guzman said
the organization is looking for
two pairs of instructors, one pair
to teach in Copperas Cove and
the other in Cameron. The class
meets weekly for four hours and
instructors will need to commit to
teach for six months.
Guzman, along with licensed
area counselor Stephanie Lalou-
ette, designed, developed and
launched the WINGS group near-
ly three years ago.
The women who attend
WINGS study elements of
healthy relationships, signs of a
battering personality, receive par-
enting tips, learn how violence
affects children and receive fam-
ily violence education.
In addition, the class gives
its students a look at the le-
gal system, and how the police,
Child Protective Services and the
courts operate.
“Groups are maxed out at 12
participants,” Guzman said. She
added that women interested in
becoming an instructor will re-
ceive training.
“(They will) first need to reg-
ister with Aware Central Texas,”
she said. “Once they have com-
pleted the training for Aware
Central Texas they will also need
to attend two sessions of the
WINGS group with myself and
Stephanie, receive eight hours of

Monsters and Creatures
The scientist and his
very scary monster
Scientists the world over are reacting
with shock at news that one of them secretly
created a human clone with horrifying
results.
The revelations surfaced last winter,
when explorers on an expedition to the
North Pole came across a mysterious man
travelling by dogsled.
A crew member said: “He was dying,
so we took him on board our ship, where he
shared his strange tale.”
The man said he was Dr. Victor Fran-
kenstein, a Swiss scientist who studied
cloning — the science of creating copies of
living things such as cells or animals.
Colleagues at the University of Ingol-
stadt in Switzerland say he was dedicated to
his work, but soon became obsessed with a
project he would not discuss.
That project, it turned out, was the cre-
ation of a human clone.
This has always been a controversial
area of research, because of fears that the
technology will be misused.
Many took comfort in thinking it would
be impossible to make such a clone. But Dr.

Library to host
gadget seminar
noon Thursday
By KERRI CHRISTENSEN
Cove Leader-Press
The Copperas Cove Public Library held their
monthly Brown Bag lunch program, Thursday af-
ternoon in the library conference room.
“Each month we chose a different theme
based on what is trending,” said library director,
Kevin Marsh. “This month we chose understand-
ing your MP3 audio player, more than just music,
because Christmas was just around the comer and
a lot of people received a new phone as a present
and don’t know how to use it. We thought Janu-
ary would be a perfect time to teach our library
members and public how to use these devices.”
Presenter Katrina O’Keefe is a library staff
member and the only person on staff pursuing a
graduate degree in Library and Information Sci-
ence online from the University of North Texas.
“The odds are that I spend more time on the
computer than any other person at the library,”
O’Keefe said. “This is the reason why I was the
one that was chosen to give the presentation.”
The presentation went over that pertaining
to any technological device that can receive any
type of digital downloads. O’Keefe arranged the
information that was provided to the class from
what she has successfully used herself or seen
someone else successfully use it.
The class was designed to teach digital
downloads instead of a class targeted on e-books
or MP3’s.
“This is because people do a lot of things on-
line that they can get and keep for themselves,”
O’Keefe said.
A digital download is an electronic transmis-
sion that is sent over the Internet. There is a lot
of legitimate free downloads available online that
can be downloaded; including music, podcasts,
books and applications.
O’Keefe heavily expressed that everybody
who is downloading free content needs to use
their common sense.
“Please look at the website. Make sure it is a

Coryell County D.A. sentences two individuals
Bv CORRISA PETERSON
Cove Leader-Press
Two people have been
sentenced to jail from the
Coryell Country district at-
torney’s office.
Frank Hedges, 53, from
Copperas Cove and Jimmy
Navejas, 37, from Gates-
ville were sentenced to 15
years for burglary of a habi-
tation and 12 years for driv-
ing with intoxicated-3rd or
more, respectively.
Assistant district at-
torney Ryan Lawton said
Hedges was arrested on
Nov. 15 for various offens-
es. Hedges waived a grand
jury and the D.A’s office
was able to file information
in place of an indictment
against him.
The D.A’s office took
the restitution from all the
cases and asked the judge
to order a total of $9,850,
Lawton added.
In addition, Hedge’s
was on probation, so based
on the new offense Lawton
filed a motion to revoke,
and he received ten years
on that case, burglary of a
habitation.
“Because this individu-
al is breaking into people’s
homes and stealing person-
al property and something
needed to happen,” Lawton
said.
Hedges is currently be-
ing held in Coryell County
Jail in Gatesville, waiting
to be transported in TDCJ,
he added. The maximum
sentence carries a range of
punishment from two years
to 20 years.
The judge followed a
plea agreement that we pre-
sented to him of 15 years,
Lawton said.
“I felt that that would
be a sufficient number if
years to account for his
criminal offense,” he said.

News from the AP Wire
Denver Broncos will
face Seattle Seahawks
in Super Bowl
Peyton Manning’s Den-
ver Broncos and Richard
Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks
were the NFL’s best all sea-
son, so it’s fitting that they’ll
meet in the Super Bowl.
Nobody scored as many
points or gained as many
yards as the Broncos.
Nobody allowed as few
points or gave up as few
yards as the Seahawks.
And nobody won as
many games as those clubs,
either.
What a way to finish the
season. When the AFC cham-
pion Broncos (15-3) play the
NFC champion Seahawks
(15-3) on Feb. 2 at what
could be a chilly MetLife
Stadium in East Rutherford,
N.J., it will be the first Su-
per Bowl since 1991 pitting
the league’s highest-scoring
team in the regular season
against the team that was
scored on the least, according
to STATS.
