Roswell man seeks half-million from lottery Attorney says lottery’s refusal to honor ticket is ‘shocking’

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

A retired Roswell man who thought he had won more than $500,000 in the New Mexico Lottery in early December is suing the lottery authority for not honoring the ticket.

John Wines has obtained perhaps the highest profile law firm in New Mexico, Bregman & Loman of Albuquerque, in a lawsuit filed this month in Bernalillo County that seeks $500,625 of lottery winnings, plus costs of the lawsuit.

Sam Bregman, of Bregman & Loman, said the New

Mexico Lottery Authority is not honoring the lottery ticket purchased by Wines at a Roswell Shell station on Dec. 6 because lottery officials say Wines’ ticket contained at least one misprint.

“Apparently the lottery is calling it a misprint,” Bregman told the Daily Record Monday. “They say that some of the ticket numbers didn’t print on the ticket itself. That’s a problem between the lottery and the printer. That’s not our problem. Statue says it’s the game about matching numbers. He matched them.

They need to pay him. If they don’t, they’re cheating.”

Wines on Dec. 6 bought a Ruby 7s ticket. The $20 ticket with a top prize of $250,000 states if purchasers match any of two winning numbers at the top of the ticket, they win the prizes associated with the winning numbers.

However, the back of the ticket states, in part, “The NMLA is not responsible for lost, stolen, or misdirected tickets. Liability for void, altered, or misprinted tickets, or disputes, if any, is limited to the refund of the retail sales price.”

Bregman said purchasers of lottery tickets are not privy to the disclaimers on

the back of the tickets until they actually buy them.

“If you look at the back of the ticket, which the lottery is relying on, saying they don’t have to pay a misprint, you don’t even get to see that until after you’ve already paid for the ticket,” Bregman said.

Wines said upon thinking he had won, he went back inside the Shell station at 3001 N. Main St. and was told the ticket was invalid.

“They said the machine is saying it is not a winner on the barcode,” Bregman said.

“So he contacted the lottery See LOTTO, Page A3

ENMU-R students visit Roundhouse

It’s fun to be a bookworm

Katy Vaz, a second-grade teacher at East Grand Plains Elementary School, facilitates a discussion during the fourth- and fifth-grade book club, which is an after-school program held every Monday from 3 to 4 p.m. at the school. The purpose of the program is to inspire the students to discuss children’s literature across multiple genres and review vocabulary.

A contingent from the Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell Special Services Department was in Santa Fe last week to participate in Disability Rights Awareness Day at the Roundhouse.

“We were invited to go to the Disability Rights Awareness Day in Santa Fe on Feb. 2 and 3,” said Leah Lucier, deputy director of the Special Services Occupational Training Program. The event was sponsored by The Arc of New Mexico and the New Mexico Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, and the purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the key issues state residents with disabilities are facing.

Lucier and instructors Patrick Burris and Diane Leven, along with four students — Jade Phillips, Kat

Morgan, Nicole Lyons and Aubrey Benge — attended the two-day event.

“I really enjoyed it,” said Morgan, who is a secondyear student. “It was really educational. They talked about different kinds of disabilities and how they can help you with those disabilities. And we were at the Roundhouse, I really liked that. I had been there before, but it was nice to go again.”

“It was through The Arc of New Mexico and the Developmental Disabilities Planning Commission; they put on this convention for people with disabilities to discuss topics having to do with the Legislature, certain bills having to do with disability rights. On Monday they held a handful of workshops that we all attended.”

Fifty years ago today, the first young man from Roswell to serve in Southeast Asia was killed in action in Vietnam.

Lavon Stephen Wilson was 21 when he was killed in an explosion in South Vietnam. He was a Specialist 4 stationed with the 140th Transportation Detatchment, 117th AVN CO, USARV. On Feb. 10, 1965, Viet Cong sappers blew up the Hotel Viet Cuong, an American enlisted men’s billet in Qui Nhon City, killing 23 and wounding

21 U.S. soldiers, according to the website virtualwall.org.

Albuquerque filmmaker Mary Darling came across Wilson’s biography while working on a documentary.

“I never knew Lavon, any of his family or his friends,” Darling said in an email on Friday. “I stumbled onto this fact as I was researching information for a short film I have written and am producing called, ‘Johnny’s Cactus,’ about the first boy from Las Cruces, New Mexico to die in Vietnam.”

“Lavon was Roswell’s first loss and New Mex-

ico’s second casualty,” Darling said. “I’m sure it was a difficult time for your community and Lavon’s family and friends. It seems to me that Lavon is worthy of a reminder and since I am the one that knows of this upcoming anniversary I am taking it upon myself to convey it to you.”

“Lavon was my friend and schoolmate,” writes Larry Staeden on Wilson’s page on the Virtual Wall at virtualwall.org. “I was also best friends with Lavon’s younger brother, Larry Wilson, also of Roswell, New Mexico.

“Lavon’s younger broth-

er was also a Vietnam Veteran and was buried in the same cemetery three years and two months after Lavon’s funeral,” Staeden said. “Lavon’s younger brother volunteered to serve his country (US Army) following Lavon’s loss in 1965. I was with Larry the day we learned of Lavon’s death and we talked a long time together on this day. I had been searching for Lavon’s younger brother, my best friend, for many years and finally found that Larry also died young shortly after serving his country.”

Fines for violating campaign finance laws go uncollected FARMINGTON, (AP) — Many of the fines assessed by the secretary of state’s office for violations of New Mexico’s campaign finance reporting laws have gone uncollected.

T h e Da ily T ime s r e p o rte d (http://bit.ly/1IEEauD ) that the office collected only 4 percent of the nearly 2,000 fines levied against candidates during the 2012 and 2014 primary and general elections.

The newspaper reviewed campaign finance data obtained

through a public records request and found that Secretary of State Dianna Duran waived more than a third of fines and more than 60 percent went uncollected.

State law allows for Duran to refer delinquent fines to the state attorney general’s office for investigation and possible prosecution.

None had been referred as of the end of the January, according to her chief of staff, Ken Ortiz.

Allowing the fines to slide sets a bad precedent, said Denise Roth Barber, managing director Today’s Forecast

HIGH 77 LOW 42

of the nonprofit group National Institute on Money in State Politics. These actions, she said, tell candidates: “Don’t worry about it.

You’re going to get away with it.”

Duran and Ortiz did not immediately respond to emails asking about the number of fines that go uncollected.

State law requires that candidates’ reports list donations and expenditures. The public documents are also supposed to list the donations’ sources.

A late campaign finance report

triggers a letter from state officials, saying the candidate will be fined $50 per working day until the report is filed. If the candidate offers an explanation within 10 days, that fine could be waived.

The newspaper found the secretary of state’s office received 774 explanations for the 1,984 fines its staff assessed.

In the case of Matthew Tso, the perennial candidate was initially fined more than $22,700 for missing reporting deadlines

over five years and reports last year that failed to accurately list expenses for campaign signs and radio ads.

Most of Tso’s fines were waived.

In an explanation to the secretary of state’s office, Tso — who has run for the state Senate and a judicial post — said he had trouble filing online and that state officials did not tell him how to go about resolving the fines.

Correction An article on A1 of Sunday’s newspaper should have said 70 percent of New Mexico employers are now paying the minimum unemployment insurance rate of 0.33 percent, not that 70 percent of the state’s employers are experiencing lower rates than last year. The contribution rate for experienced employers ranges from 0.33 percent to 5.4 percent under a new formula that more closely ties employer rates with unemployment benefit charges. The new contribution rate for new employers ranges from 1 percent to 5.4 percent, depending on industry average.

Always in our hearts.

Love from you children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren.

One of the things you should keep in mind when selling your house is that most prospective buyers want not just a house, but a home.

Fresh flowers and healthy potted plants enhance this homey feel. New accessories in the kitchen and bath, such as bright towels and potholders, do the same.

Keep rooms well lighted, windows uncovered.

On a wintry day, light a fire, or bake some cookies.

If you can, show photographs of your home when the yard is at its best, with spring flowers, summer greenery or autumn color.

Clutter detracts, but a few well-chosen objects can enhance the image of a home full of affection and cheer.

and they asked him to send in the ticket.

They agreed that the ticket has not been altered in any way, but that it was a misprint.”

Wines said he initially contacted the NMLA via email for satisfaction.

In a Dec. 9 email obtained by the Daily Record, Margie Topper of the NMLA said Wines’ ticket contained an error.

“We did find a flaw in that particular pack of tickets and it’s been reported to our printer,” Topper responded to Wines. “Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I did a complete a reconstruction of your ticket, and it was not a winner. Thanks again for letting me know about this.”

“Does that mean that nothing comes from this, even though it shows me being a winner?” Wines responded via email.

Wines said he hasn’t received a response to his last email to Topper.

Wines said he found Topper’s response “cold.” He said the NMLA offered him $100 of “lottery bucks,” but he said he hasn’t received them.

“Obviously he was as high as someone can be when you think you’ve just won a half-million dollars, and then when you find

out that the lottery is a bunch of cheaters, you reach an all-time low,” Bregman said. “I don’t know how much emotional stress one way or the other, but I know this, that he wants the lottery to live up to its obligation to pay him for what they owe.”

NMLA spokesperson Linda Hamlin said Monday she could not comment on the case.

“You are correct that the New Mexico Lottery does not comment on lawsuits,” Hamlin said.

Bregman said Wines is entitled to the winnings.

“We win. Mr. Wines wins,” Bregman said.

“We’re hopeful that a court will see it the same way.”

Wines, 65, a Hoosier native, retired last summer after moving to Roswell six years ago.

“He’s retired. He used to be a heating and cooling technician,” Bregman said. “He’s retired from that. He’s married to Maria, who is a nurse. Between the two of them together, they have seven grown children.”

Bregman said Wines didn’t take any rash actions, such as quitting a job, when he believed he had won more than $500,000 in the instant-win lottery ticket.

“He’s a guy who’s very much a family man,” Bregman said. “He’s retired. He’s always lived his life by playing by the rules and he’s disappointed that the lottery won’t

California pledges changes to protect its aquifers from energy operations

By Ellen Knickmeyer Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — California is proposing broad changes in the way it protects underground water sources from oil and gas operations, after finding 2,500 instances in which the state authorized oil and gas operations in protected water aquifers.

State oil and gas regulators on Monday released a plan they sent the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last week for bringing the state back into compliance with federal safe-drinking water requirements.

An ongoing state and federal review has determined the state has repeatedly authorized oil-industry injection into aquifers that were supposed to be protected as current or potential sources of water for drinking and watering crops and livestock.

An Associated Press analysis found hundreds of the now-challenged state permits for oilfield injection into protected aquifers have been granted since 2011, despite growing EPA warnings about oilfield threats to the state’s underground water reserves.

“It’s a problem that needs our very close attention and an urgent path forward,” Steve Bohlen, head of the state Department of Conservation’s oil and gas division, told reporters Monday.

Bohlen said 140 of those 2,553 injection wells

loophole allowed him to run for the school board in December.

Common Cause New Mexico, a government watchdog group, found in a recent survey of New Mexico voters that most want greater transparency when it comes to campaign finance and lobbying efforts.

A handful of bills addressing the issues have

were of primary concern to the state now, because they were actively injecting oil-field fluids into aquifers with especially designated good water quality.

State water officials currently are reviewing those 140 oil-field wells to see which are near water wells and to assess any contamination of water aquifers from the oil and gas operations, Bohlen said.

The U.S. EPA had given the state until Friday to detail how it would deal with current injection into protected water aquifers and stop future permitting of risky injection.

The plan submitted by the state outlines plans and timelines for dealing with current risks.

The proposal also recommends regulatory changes for oversight of oil and gas operations and water aquifers.

An AP analysis of state records showed 46 percent of those 2,553 oilfield injection wells were approved or began injection after 2011, despite the state’s drought and what were then increasing federal warnings that California was not doing enough to protect potential underground water sources from contamination by oil fields.

California regulators said they believe that the actual percentage is lower than state records show, but they added they do not know how much lower.

California is the country’s third-largest oil-producing state.

been introduced this legislative session.

The state’s lax enforcement is making candidates lazy and creating a vicious cycle, Viki Harrison of Common Cause New Mexico said.

“We can whine about the fact that nobody votes, and we can whine about the fact that people don’t register to vote,” Harrison said.

“But if they don’t see any accountability from any of their elected officials, why would they vote?”

The event also celebrated 25 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lucier and the instructors are part of ENMU-R’s Special Services Department, which provides services and programs to students with disabilities.

The Special Services Department seeks to maximize the educational and career opportunities for all students with disabilities, by teaching life skills along with occupational skills as part of one of the few schools in the country that offers a “life on campus” experience along with its occupational and skills programs.

“The event featured workshops on human rights for people with disabilities, and a workshop on guardianship,” Lucier said. “The big one that I liked the most was the Special Education funding issues around restraints and seclusion. That (bill) was specific towards people with Autism, but it also is important for people with disabilities in general.”

Currently, students can be restrained or secluded from their classroom and the parents don’t have the right to know about it, Lucier said. The proposed law, Senate Bill 283, would limit the use of restraints and seclusion, and would require that parents be

play by the rules.”

Bregman last week issued a news release announcing the litigation. Before Wines obtained legal counsel in the case, he appeared on numerous statewide, national and international television news programs, such as “Good Morning America,” the “Today Show” and on Fox News.

Wines said Monday he can no longer comment since the lawsuit has been filed. He said Bregman would serve as his spokesperson while the case is in the court system.

Bregman said Wines’ experience undermines the lottery’s credibility.

“No one should have any faith in playing the New Mexico Lottery,” Bregman said in a news release. “They cheat.”

Wines’ lawsuit asserts the NMLA breached a written contract by not honoring a legitimate lottery ticket.

“The NMLA offered the sale of a Ruby 7s lottery and Mr. Wines accepted the offer by purchasing the ticket,” the lawsuit states.

“As such, the parties entered into a written contract.

“Mr. Wines’ ticket revealed numbers matching the ‘winning numbers,’ thereby entitling him to the listed prizes. The NMLA breached the contract by failing and refusing to pay the prizes set forth on Mr. Wines’ ticket. Plaintiff is entitled to damages of $500,625, plus costs of this action.”

ENMU-R Special Services set up a table to promote the university’s program.

They were invited to the House of Representatives

by Rep. Gail Chasey of Albuquerque.

“We were informing people on what we do, and it is surprising that people even in Santa Fe hadn’t really heard of us, so it was a great contact for us,” Lucier said.

Since the Legislature is in session, the staff and the students were invited to the House of Representatives to watch the session.

Morgan said she enjoyed seeing how the Legislature worked.

“It was all pretty much over my head, so I am not sure how much the students took from it, but it was important for us as the staff to expose them to how laws become laws,” Lucier said.

It was especially important for the students to see how the process related to issues surrounding disabilities.

“It was great, we were able to meet a few of our state representatives and hand information out to them,” Lucier said. “We met Rep. Nora Espinoza and gave her and her office some good information about our program.”

“It was a really great trip.

It benefited our students and I felt like we made some great contacts. We met with Nora, she is the chairman of the Education

Committee,” said Leven.

A few years back, Special Services took a group of 23 students to Santa Fe and spent the day with the Legislature, Burris said.

“It was a day trip for us on that first time.”

Burris said some of the staff members are also involved in disability advocacy and they go up to Santa Fe for pre-legislative meetings in January. “They have us up to discuss what is going through the legislature. We are up there trying to figure out who we need to go talk to to get ourselves represented.”

Lucier said the students also got to hear a number of speakers, including the event keynote speaker Art Schreiber of the New Mexico Commission for the Blind and Jim Jackson, who is the executive director of the Disability Coalition.

Jackson updated the group on some of the bills being presented to the Senate.

“I just thought it was a great opportunity, again, to expose our program and advocate for our program, as well as provide some professional development for the staff,” Lucier said.

“And it was great exposure for the students so they can start understanding their rights as people.”

fastest paper route known in New Mexico,” Staeden recalled.

Lavon Wilson is honored on Panel 1E, Row 92 of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, according to the website, vvmf.org.

Darling said “Johnny’s Cactus” is a project she hopes will stand as a memorial to all the young

men from New Mexico who gave their lives for their country during the Vietnam War. Darling serves on the board of the New Mexico Women in Film and is drawn to New Mexico stories, according to the film’s website, johnnycactus.com.

On June 26, 1966, John Milton Risner became the first boy from Las Cruces to die in Vietnam.

Ten years ago, while spending a Saturday morning scouring yard sales in Las Cruces, Darling was told the story about Johnny’s Cactus, which became the impetus for the film, which is described as “a short film about making peace with war.”

The cactus in “Johnny’s Cactus” was planted

by Risner before he went to Vietnam, and his sister, Cynthia has kept the prickly pear cactus growing ever since. Johnny was 18 and Cynthia was 9, and Johnny said “Sissy, it will be fun to see how big it grows before I come home.”

Johnny never came home.

“Because I asked the right question of the right person at the right moment in time, I am fortunate to be heading a team that will tell this beautiful New Mexico story about a not so beautiful moment in time that we all, in some way, share,” Darling said.

immediately informed if those methods are used on a child.

“It is supposed to be a last line of defense,” said Burris.

“Another workshop we went to included ‘Accessing Long-Term Services,’” Lucier said, “I think it was really good for the students, we obviously brought the students and us to advocate for our program but also to expose the students to what their rights are as people who have disabilities, what their civil rights are.”

Burris said students’ needs change as they grow and progress through the educational system.

“It changes from middle school to high school, and they are going through transitions,” Burris said.

“As they get to college, their performance level changes so we have to adapt so that we are supporting them.”

Teaching the students how to self-advocate is a big part of teaching them how to have independence.

“We want to say to the students, ‘you have rights, and it is time for you to start handling your lives,’” Burris said. “The students who went just shined in the fact that they were going to be controlling things and that they had some input into how things go in their state.”

On the second day of the event, the students and faculty members went to the Roundhouse and

Roswell Daily Record

Right-to-work proposals threaten union monopoly I was raised a union bigot.

Unions were evil. My dad hated unions. I don’t know why.

My perspective has evolved.

Unions are useful and are not bad. However, monopolies are bad.

One important lesson came from John Dendahl, then running a small unionized technology manufacturing firm in Santa Fe. Years later, Dendahl was the take-no-prisoners chair of the state Republicans.

A union contract defines the rules, Dendahl said. His company had not had a strike. In Albuquerque, a large electronics manufacturer claimed (correctly, I suspect) that the workforce included commie agitators and got much grief from the union, the same one as at Dendahl’s firm. As I remember, there were complaints, eventually substantiated, about sloppy handling of toxic materials.

These memories arise in the

Harold Morgan New Mexico Progress context of “right-to work” proposals (House Bill 75, sponsored by Rep. Dennis Roch, R-Logan, and, Senate Bill 183, a duplicate of HB 75, sponsored by Sen. William Sharer, R-Farmington) being considered in the Legislature. Roch is an educator. Sharer is a businessman.

The proposals would prohibit requiring union membership as a condition of employment. The bills say, “It is the public policy of New Mexico that all persons shall have, and shall be protected in the exercise of, the right to form, join or assist labor organizations or to refrain from those activities,

freely and without fear of penalty or reprisal.”

Economic developers tell me that right to work occupies a simple place in some firms’ consideration about location of an operation. States without right to work drop from the list.

With right to work, a union’s monopoly disappears. Good.

Monopolists are lazy. They have no competitive incentive to work hard.

What can happen did happen in Wisconsin. Last fall, Foxnews. com said, “Since June 2011, (when paying union dues became optional for teachers), teacher enrollment in the (Wisconsin Education Association Council) has dropped nearly a third from nearly 100,000 members, and the smaller union AFT-Wisconsin has fallen more than half from its peak membership of 16,000.”

“Freeloaders” is the union term for these non-payers of dues.

True. The non-payers benefit

from whatever the union does.

The freeloading shoe also fits the union foot. The union benefits from money coerced as a condition of employment from those who would rather not pay. It’s a nice, dependable cash flow. The union, blessed with the monopoly, need not work to earn the affection and respect of both members and potential members.

The dues coercion culture paints a big target on those who might think outside the union mainstream. My conservative teacher friends keep real quiet about their policy preferences.

With this dependable cash flow comes a question, seldom posed.

What do unions do? In particular, the public sector unions.

Cursory checking suggests the work amounts to things requiring a small staff – maybe research, some professional development and overseeing the contract.

However, we know the answer.

The Center for Public Integrity,

which bills itself as a nonpartisan, nonprofit investigative news organization, reported, state by state, the biggest spenders in the 2014 general election. Here, it was two guys and three public sector unions.

For the unions this makes total sense. The best way to stay in business and keep that dues money is to affect the political process by donating big money to favored candidates. Cronyism, it is called.

The unions and their spending are the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, $790,800; National Education Association, $693,200; and American Federation of Teachers New Mexico, $311,700. The guys were Gary King, $642,106; and Alan Webber, $403,704.

With right to work, unions will have to work harder and the political playing field will be a bit more equal. Good.

Editorial What should be the republican 2016 message?

These pages have never been coy about our dissatisfaction with the economic priorities of the Obama administration.

Over the course of six years, this White House has consistently shown itself devoted to higher levels of taxation, more expansive regulation and more thoroughgoing federal control over wide swaths of the economy.

As such, it comes as little surprise to us that even the so-called “recovery” we’re now in the midst of is characterized by only modest growth and a still-underperforming labor market.

As Republicans jockey to succeed Mr. Obama, however, dismissing the failures of this administration will not be enough.

Nor will simply relying on typical GOP bromides.

Indeed, one of the deficiencies of Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign was the former Massachusetts governor’s relentless focus on the economic concerns of entrepreneurs and “job creators” to the exclusion of almost everybody else. While we agree that any economic policy worth its salt has to take seriously the plight of employers, a competitive political party has to speak just as persuasively to people who sign the back of checks as to people who sign the front.

That’s why we applaud potential Republican presidential candidates who are making the effort to make the party’s economic message more inclusive. While we don’t always see eye to eye with Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor is to be applauded this week for taking his message of a “right to rise” for impoverished Americans to Detroit. Nor is he the first such Republican to do so. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has also backed similar efforts, helping to launch the first GOP office in the Motor City in 2013.

There are plenty of economic issues beyond taxes and regulation that affect everyday Americans, foremost among them the pressure that government has put on prices for basic goods like health care, higher education and energy. In order to deserve the votes of the American people, Republican candidates ought to focus on how to lower costs while increasing quality for these vital necessities.

Rallying support for free markets is essential to the country’s economic future. That process will be considerably easier if Republicans underline the fact that the benefits flow to all Americans, not just to members of the investor class.

Letters Dear editor, I want to thank everyone who voted for me to be a member of the (ENMU-R) college board.

As a lifelong resident of Roswell and former city manager and councilman, I am concerned with what occurred during the election last week for school board and college board.

I do not recall that partisan party influence occurred in the past as it did this election. City elections, school board elections and college board elections are supposed to be non-partisan. As city manager in the 1980s and 1990s, I recall that some managers related the worse of circumstances with political ringleaders working behind the scenes to influence or control elected officials.

I was always proud that Roswell was very nonpartisan in these elections. I hope Roswell continues to have candidates run in the future

Does nuclear really matter? You betcha!

With the lower prices of oil and gas over the past year, coal and nuclear power plants are struggling to delivery cheap electricity for the grid. Several utilities have already shut down perfectly good nuclear power generating plants to cut cost and replaced them with even cheaper natural gas turbines.

However what is going to happen when the “oil boom” comes our next “oil bust?” All that cheap electricity that was generated by the closed nuclear power plants, as well as the closed coal burning power plants, cannot be brought back online easily, if at all.

At least a few congressmen are starting to see the reality of early nuclear plant closures and are making others in Congress take notice. “I’m

Martin Kral Guest Columnist here today to talk about the day the United States is without nuclear power – a day we don’t want to see in our country’s future. That may seem like a distant and unlikely scenario to some. In fact, it’s a real threat to our economy and way of life. According to a 2013 report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, up to 25 of our 99 nuclear reactors could close by 2020.” — Sen. Lamar Alex-

ander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy & Water Development.

So why does nuclear power struggle in the commercial market place? Logically, if there is a form of energy that is one to two million times more energy dense than any other energy source, then it would easily surpass all other forms of energy usage.

But lately, logic seems to have gone by the wayside.

And indeed there are people like me who think ultimately nuclear power will be the dominant form of energy producing electricity for the world population.

When you look at the longterm energy requirements of the world, nuclear will matter. The blending of nuclear

energy and the biosphere has the least climate impact on the biodiversity within most of the ecosystems that have already been altered by other energy sources, like fossil and renewable.

The design criteria of the advanced next generation nuclear reactors are based on the elimination of the three major concerns of the first generations of nuclear power plants; possible meltdown with radiation leak, potential proliferation of bomb making materials, and generation of radioactive waste (unused fuel). The modular Gen4 designs also bring the price down to a reasonable range for private industry to invest in.

I ask again, does nucle-

Time to end failed policy of social promotion Knowing how to read is one of the most important life skills you could ever learn.

When you know how to read, knowledge is at your fingertips, and nothing is far from reach.

Unfortunately for New Mexico, too many of our children are unable to read proficiently. Yet, year after year, we pass them onto the next grade without blinking an eye.

This is called social promotion — it’s a failed policy that sets our children up for failure. And it’s high time we put an end to it.

That is why I have joined two colleagues — Rep. Monica Youngblood and Sen. Gay Kernan – in sponsoring legislation that will not only eliminate this policy, but also give teachers, parents and students the resources they need to succeed.

The truth is, it is not compassionate to move along our children when they are unprepared. Doing so only sets them up for failure. In fact, students who cannot read before the third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.

It’s not hard to see why.

From first grade through third, our children learn to read. After those critical years, they read to learn.

So, when we socially promote our kids onto the next grade, we are not doing them any favors. They are simply put in classes that get more challenging before they fall behind and eventually slip through the cracks.

Something must be done.

And that’s exactly what this bill will do.

This bill would prepare children as they move through third grade if they

are not reading at grade level.

This ensures that they get the extra instruction they need in order to succeed in the grades that follow.

But it doesn’t stop there.

In addition to ending social promotion, measures in the bill will help teachers identify struggling students and provide them with the instruction they need to catch up.

This includes more money for reading coaches and programs that get parents more involved.

In fact, parental involvement is key in succeeding because learning should never stop after the bell rings.

That is why our bill also focuses on making sure parents are involved and that they have a plan to help their child become an even better reader.

As legislators, it is our job to listen to the people, and

it’s clear that New Mexicans want us to put an end to social promotion.

An Albuquerque Journal poll found that New Mexicans largely support ending social promotion — 74 percent in fact. And it’s not a partisan issue either: 84 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of Democrats support eliminating this failed policy.

Working together, we can pass meaningful education reform — supporting our kids and making them ready for the future.

I believe we can give our children the tools they need to become successful readers and put an end to this backward policy of social promotion.

Be a good parent in February and in every month February is National Parent Leadership Month, recognizing, honoring and celebrating parents for their leadership roles in their homes and communities.

The role of being a parent is one of the most rewarding (and stressful) aspects of life. The Council on Contemporary Families analyzed a Census report about the well-being of today’s children. The report singles out five habits that are important when it comes to parenting: read to kids, share meal times, provide extracurricular activities, have clear rules about watching TV and performance in school.

The Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., offers books and other materials for children, parents, teachers and other adults. To access the library’s online catalog for information on library resources and services, visit the library, phone 6227101 or go to roswellpubliclibrary.org. The library is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday and from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Dear editor, I wish state Sen. Cliff Pirtle the best of luck in his campaign to relieve New Mexicans of the burden of changing their clocks twice a year. But I fear that his quest is quixotic, and that the windmills will swat him down as they did two years ago.

What is now called Daylight Saving Time began as an off-color joke by Benjamin Franklin when he was ambassador to France in the 1780s, with a view to showing how to save on candles (a luxury in those days). The idea was never quite forgotten, but it received its next boost in this country in the early 1880s when the railroads

ar really matter? Someone thinks so because there are 69 nuclear power plants under construction around the world at this time and hundreds more in the queue. My God, even the US has five power plants under construction with one finally coming online in 2015 after 26 years of a on again/off again development cycle and the other four scheduled later this decade.

China and India have the most aggressive schedules for new nuclear energy because they are both developing economies that have used coal excessively and created some bad atmospheric conditions in that part of the world that affects everyone on this

Awards for the best books in children’s literature are selected each February, honoring those authors and illustrators who create books for young people and who promote literacy by inspiring enjoyment of quality literature. The three major awards are: the John Newbery Medal for the most outstanding contribution to children’s literature, the Randolph Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children and the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award for the most distinguished beginning reader book. Each category selects one overall winner along with additional honor titles worthy of attention. Deanne Dekle, children’s librarian, provides information on this year’s award-winning selections.

The Newbery medal was awarded to Kwame Alexander for “The Crossover.”

This is a story told in verse about twins Josh and Jor-

dan who are junior high basketball stars. They are inseparable on and off the basketball court until one meets the new girl in school. Although basketball is the central theme; this is not a book about basketball, it is about growing up, changing relationships and learning about who you are and who you want to be.

The voice is real, the emotions are heightened and it’s a perfect coming of age book.

The Newbery honor books are both autobiographies that break the mold of traditional biography.

A bout of childhood meningitis left Cece Bell deaf at age four. She was prescribed a Phonic Ear, with a receiver draped across her chest and a remote microphone to be worn by her teacher. Her graphic memoir, “El Deafo,” shares the year she transferred from a school for the deaf to a public school.

She is afraid everyone will make fun of her for the giant hearing aid strapped to her chest. The book records both the indignities of being a deaf child in a hearing community and its joys when she discovers that the microphone picks up every word her teacher says anywhere in the school. This is a funny, poignant tale of being different but wanting the same things as everyone else: a friend. The last honor book is Jacqueline Woodson’s “Brown Girl Dreaming.” In

vivid poems, she tells of her life as a young African American girl growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, in both South Carolina and New York City. She’s never quite sure where she fits in and what her path in life should be. A touching look at what it means to dream and how to accept yourself and those around you for all the things that make everyone different.

The Caldecott medal was awarded to “The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend” written and illustrated by Dan Santat. Beekle is an imaginary friend just waiting for his real child to imagine him. He waits and waits but is never imagined, so he decides to take matters into his own hands by traveling to the real world to find his friend. He searches high and low until one day he finds Alice. Together they have grand adventures. Six other books were given Caldecott honors: “Nana in the City” written and illustrated by Lauren Castillo, “The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art” written by Barb Rosenstock and illustrated by Mary GrandPre, “Sam & Dave Dig a Hole” written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen (the two won an honor for their book “Extra Yarn” in 2013, the same year Klassen took home the medal for his title “This is Not My Hat”), “Viva Frida” writ-

imposed standard time zones. Congress ratified this during World War I, when it also imposed “war time” (set the clocks forward), a measure already in place in the British Empire and other nations.

The idea was to artificially extend the day to encourage later working hours in the defense industries.

Why nobody thought of just going to work earlier is not clear, but in any case war time was scrapped after the war ended.

It had another temporary revival during World War II, but a movement to revive it as “daylight saving” time took off during the 1950s.

As it became more widespread, Congress clarified it again in the 1960s, and allowed some states to opt out. Indiana was a case in point, because the boundary between eastern standard and central standard time zones zigzagged down the middle of the state. This time the justification was to impose a later sunset to encourage recreation.

Over the next few

decades, the justification shifted to saving electricity by encouraging people to go to bed after a later sunset.

This is still the argument, but whether daylight savings time conserves energy is taken as a matter of faith, not of fact. Indeed, the facts argue against it, as close studies of energy use when Indiana adopted daylight saving a few years ago proved. Modern energy consumption involves the use of such things as television and air conditioning (unknown in the world wars and rare even the 1950s), and it appears that daylight savings time encourages people to use them later into the natural day, hence burning more fuel and electricity.

While I support the senator’s goal of eliminating spring forward fall back as a seasonal nuisance, I wish he would revert to his original plan of remaining on standard time year-round.

The time zones were devised so that noon in the middle of each would occur when the sun is at its zenith

(highest point), as it crosses a north-south line that runs through a point directly overhead. Under daylight savings time, the natural noon occurs at one o’clock, terribly late in my view. But then, I’m a morning type who enjoys rising before the sun does. In any case, I would agree to that so long as the reward is the end to spring forward fall back and all the nuisances that entails. Go get ’em, senator!

After all, those windmills might really be giants.

Dave Clary Roswell

Dear editor, I feel strongly about having one time year-round and have only one observation to Sen. Pirtle’s plan. Specifically, daylight saving time is the interloper, forced on us for some damn fool reason sometime in the past, so let’s get rid of it. Standard time is the logical choice for us in New Mexico, for any state that wants to abandon the two changes each year. Think about it, Standard time is

little old rock floating in space. The culture of fear has finally diminished a bit after the Fukushima accident because a lot has been learned about preventable accidents in the future of the existing nuclear power plant fleet (440 units).

Let me leave you with this final thought: Increasing the standard of living in the world is the better approach to reduce poverty and its evil stepchildren, war and terrorism.

So expanding nuclear and other forms of energy are a way to decrease tensions, as long as everyone benefits.

Dear editor, We, the good folk of Hagerman, appear to be depicted in the RDR as uncaring, bumbling incompetents for not casting a single ballot in our school board election.

Tuesday, Feb. 3, Election Day, the RDR stated, “There are no polling sites in Hagerman today…” Then the next day’s paper affirms, “Amazingly, no one, including the candidates voted.”

What’s amazing is that we find out on Election Day that we have no polling site in Hagerman as your paper asserted. The day of the election is no time to be apprised of this dilemma. Then, lo and behold, in the Friday, Feb. 6, paper it is revealed that “Instead, Election Day voting for the Hagerman school board was

That’s analogous to closing the barn door after the horse is gone.

I, for one, would have scrambled to vote at one of those locations, thus alleviating the need of any head scratching and indecisions.

It is too late to lament over not having voted early, but lest we be chastised for this oversight, most people in rural areas expect to be able to vote in their own precinct and be done. We did not foresee getting blindsided with no polling site in Hagerman and little did we know we would provoke such media attention as a result.

Let it be known, our candidates have our wholehearted support, vote or no vote. It just would have been gratifying to properly confirm that sentiment.

A mix of traditional and audacious on the Grammy red carpet Grammys newcomer Sam Smith looked dapper in a white bow tie and Madonna rocked one of the season’s most eclectic red carpets Sunday in a bedazzled two-corner black hat and burlesque-esque corset with matching thighhigh boots.

Fashion is always a little crazy at the Grammys, guys included, but firsttime winner Smith soaked it all up in a more traditional tuxedo as he managed his nerves going up against some of his idols.

Madonna’s big-shouldered shorty outfit was custom Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci.

She wore not much underneath, flashing a black thong and fishnets at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. She wasn’t a hit with some in the Twitter peanut gallery: “Just got a glimpse of Madonna arriving. Seems to be channeling some mix of the Duchess of Windsor and Mae West,” one chimed in.

Rihanna dashed into the live show at the last minute in a poofy, tiered pink confection of silk and tulle

from Giambattista Valli that had some online comparing her to a party cupcake. She was dripping in Chopard diamonds.

Beyonce and Miley Cyrus went for black — Cyrus in strategic, sexy cutouts and the queen in a low V-neck embellished gown with a train from Proenza Schouler. Also in black was Gwen Stefani in a stunning strapless black Versace Atelier jumpsuit with a structured spiderweb swirl up top.

Audacious singer-actress Joy Villa was encaged in revealing bright orange, and it was unclear how Sia could see under her huge shaggy white wig.

Brandy Clark showed off a killer pair of metallic silver Prada pumps under a sparkly, second-skin silver-and-black gown, while Nick Jonas chatted, hands in pockets of a light gray tweed suit with a touch of yellow and ultra-skinny trousers.

Among Clark’s tasks in handling newfound fame and regular everyday life: “Squeeze myself into this dress, for starters,” she

told The Associated Press.

Ariana Grande had her signature high ponytail in place, wearing a whiteand-silver, one-shoulder Versace with a cutout back — Big Sean by her side.

“I’m wearing Saint Laurent man, head to toe,” he added of his shades of black tuxedo.

Black-hatted Aloe Blacc went with a patterned bow tie and edgy royal blue tuxedo trimmed in black from the Danish fashion house Sand Copenhagen. Known for leg-baring, Pharrell Williams didn’t break from tradition. He was dressed in a gray short suit, matching bow tie and shoes, from Adidas.

Tuxedos aren’t just for the dudes these days.

Charlie XCX did her white tailed-tux trouser look justice from one of her favorites, Moschino, paired with a bright pink bow tie and blush fur stole.

“I hate boring fashion so I wanted to do something ‘80s and fabulous,” she said. “I like unpredictable.”

Meghan Trainor brought the bass — and her dad.

She wore a tight sheer

miniskirt under a full black, long-sleeve overskirt adorned with black lace for her first Grammys walk.

Katy Perry’s tousled lavender hair popped against her silver backless sheer dress. It fell below the knee and had long sleeves and swingy crystal fringe — fresh from the Paris runway of Zuhair Murad. She wore a $2 million canary yellow diamond ring from Harry Kotlar.

“I just want to shine like a diamond,” she said, referring to one of her songs.

Later, Perry’s white caped performance gown drew comparisons to the Stephane Rolland wedding gown of Solange Knowles.

Perry was greeted on the red carpet by Nicki Minaj in black Tom Ford, her decolletage out in a front slit cut to her waist. Ford also dressed Jennifer Hudson in a stunning bright white strapless dress that fell just below the knee, her sassy short hair a perfect complement. So was her Marli diamond choker.

A graveside service will take place at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015 at South Park Cemetery with a funeral service to follow at 11 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church. Doug Mills will officiate.

Sarah was born Jan.10, 1925 in Charleston, Tennessee, to Joseph and Delcie Palmer who preceded her in death. In 1927 the family moved to Ruidoso, where Sarah attended school up to the eighth grade, and later graduated from Roswell High in 1943. While in high school, her junior and senior years, she was very popular. During the Final Ball given to the graduating class at New Mexico Military Institute, her dance card was filled. She never forgot about her “Brave Boys” from NMMI who were sent to war and made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. She attended Texas Christian University for one year before transferring to University of New Mexico where she

completed her bachelor’s degree in education, with a specialization in social studies. Sarah was a lifelong member with both the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority and Daughters of the American Revolution.

In 1946 she was crowned Sun Bowl Princess in El Paso, Texas.

On June 8, 1951 Sarah married H.E. (Red) Harrington here in Roswell.

Their honeymoon took them to Meridian, Mississippi where they visited with family and friends.

Over the years she developed a vast network of friends whom she loved dearly. There were many words to describe her, like quick minded, savvy investor, independent, fiery spirit, animal lover, and probably the most important; she was a loving, caring, supportive wife and mother. Sarah was also said to have a phenomenal memory when it came to the people and history of Roswell.

Sarah was very active in her community from such a young age. She was part of the Assistance League, Red Cross Nurse’s Aide, Women’s Club, and a volunteer for the Humane Society; she also served for many years on the Library board.

Some of the highlights of her life included a trip to Europe in 1945 as a chaperone, where she also crossed into Germany. She never forgot how grateful the Europeans were for the Americans saving them from Nazi Germany. Sarah also got to spend a summer abroad in Mexico.

Those left to cherish her memory are her sons; Gabe Harrington of Roswell, and Bruce Harrington and his wife Tonya of Westminster, Colorado.

Sarah was preceded in death by her brother Joseph McCarty.

Those serving as pallbearers are; Bruce Harrington, Gabe Harrington, Shane Olive, Jim Turner, David Lerner, Bob Byron, Jimmy Hooper, Gabe Martin, and Brian Shea. Serving as honorary pallbearer is Hughes Schwanecke.

She was an extremely patriotic American and conservative Republi-

A rosary is scheduled for 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015 at Ballard Funeral Home and Chapel for Yolanda Hawley, 48, who passed away on Friday, Feb. 6, 2015 at her home surrounded by family and friends.

Funeral Mass is scheduled for 10 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015 at St. John’s Catholic Church, Deacon Martinez will officiate. Burial will follow at South Park Cemetery.

Yolanda was born Oct. 3, 1966 in Roswell to Cruz and Connie Madrid who survive her here in Roswell.

She is also survived by her husband Tom Hawley of the family home, son Carlos Hawley of Alamogordo, daughter Megan Petroskey and husband Justin of Dover, Delaware, her brothers Steven Madrid and wife Lupe of Lubbock, Texas, Fernando Madrid and wife Dianne of California, and Andrew Madrid of Roswell, and grandchildren, Issac Hawley, Vincent Petroskey, and Cassius Petroskey.

Yolanda was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church, and a graduate of Clovis High School.

Yolanda enjoyed crossword puzzles, and she also loved to dance. She was a loving person with a big heart, and she especially enjoyed the time she would spend with her grandson.

Those serving as pallbearers are Steven Madrid,

come this spring (in favor of same-sex marriage), but the vote (5-4) and the author of the majority opinion (Justice Anthony Kennedy).

The number of states in which gay and lesbian couples can marry has nearly doubled since October, from 19 to 37, largely as a result of terse Supreme Court orders that allowed lower court rulings to become final and rejected state efforts to keep marriage bans in place pending appeals.

“If you read the tea leaves the Supreme Court is leaving, the bans on same-sex marriage can’t be permitted. They’re unconstitutional,” said University of California-Berkeley law professor Jesse Choper.

Alabama became the 37th state in which samesex couples can marry, following U.S. District Judge Callie Granade’s ruling in January that struck down as unconstitutional the state’s statutory and constitutional bans.

Granade had put her order on hold until Monday to let the state prepare for the change, and State Attorney General Luther Strange had asked for the delay to be extended for at least a few months.

Monday morning, probate judges in Alabama began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, some of whom had been lined up for hours.

“It’s about time,” said Shante Wolfe, 21, as she left the courthouse in Montgomery with wife Tori Sisson. They had camped out in a blue and white tent to be the first in the county given a license.

The Supreme Court often freezes lawsuits in place when they raise the same issue the court already has agreed to decide. And when federal courts declare state laws unconstitutional, “our ordinary practice,” Thomas wrote, is to prevent those rulings from taking effect while they are being appealed.

But since October, the justices have repeatedly turned away state requests to keep same-sex marriages from taking place until appeals are resolved.

Alabama’s plea was the first since the court stepped into the issue last month to take up a decision by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold laws in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee that define marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

The court has been silent about the reasons for its actions in the gay marriage cases. It similarly offered no explanation for orders in a series of challenges to state voter ID and registration laws in the fall, or for a decision to allow an execution in Oklahoma to proceed eight days before deciding to hear a challenge to the controversial sedative the state uses in lethal injection executions.

“Part of what gives us all a sense of finality and a sense of acceptance about decisions is knowing that the court has thought about it,” said University of Chicago law professor Will Baude, a former law clerk to Chief Justice John Roberts. Baude uses the term “shadow docket” to refer to unexplained orders. “For the public at large, that can

Harland B. “Steve” Birdwell

Some of us called you Pastor; some called you Padre, Priest, or My Preacher. Others called you Counselor, Confidant, Friend or Headmaster. And some of us called you Dad or Papa.

All of these words are true but only partially descriptive.

You always provided a shoulder to cry on, an uncritical ear to bend and had words to believe or inspire. Perhaps that is why most of us called you Father.

Now has come the time to thank you, say our goodbyes and wish you well on your next journey. How can we appropriately thank someone who brought us new life? In you, we witnessed a perfect example of the one whose name you always proclaimed.

All we can say is, “We Love You!” Our prayers go with you now and always.

(Written and edited by someone who knew and loved our dad.)

Harland B. “Steve” Birdwell was preceded in death by his wife, Charlene Smith Birdwell.

He is survived by his daughter, Cynthia Marshall and husband, John of Big Spring; his son, Scott Birdwell and wife, Alison of Houston; his grandchildren, Kristen Elder and husband, Richard of Alex-

andria, Virginia, Zac Marshall of Midland, Colin Birdwell, Sam Birdwell and Emma Birdwell all of Houston; a great-granddaughter, Annabell Marshall of Big Spring; his invaluable caregivers, Carrie Harvell, Dorothy Whitaker and Shelly Headrick; his beloved cat, Sasha; and a whole host of family, friends and “flocks.”

The Reverend Harland Bryan “Steve” Birdwell was born Nov. 1, 1928. A retired Episcopal priest/ accomplished jazz trumpet player/lover of all animals who spent a lifetime serving God’s people in Colorado City, Texas, Sweetwater, Texas, Big Spring, Texas, Roswell, New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Albany, Texas and Abilene, Texas, died Feb. 5, 2015.

Memorial services will be 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015 at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.

Justice Thomas objects to courts signal on gay marriage

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is inappropriately signaling it intends to clear the way for gay marriage across the nation, Justice Clarence Thomas complained Monday in a stinging dissent to the court’s refusal to block the start of same-sex marriages in Alabama.

Bitterly objecting to Monday’s action, Thomas provided a rare insider’s perspective on the widely held view that the court’s embrace of gay marriage is a done deal.

Thomas filed a dissenting opinion after his colleagues rejected Alabama’s plea to put a hold on same-sex marriages in the state until the Supreme Court resolves the issue nationwide in a few months.

He criticized his fellow justices for looking “the other way as yet another federal district judge casts aside state laws,” rather than following the customary course of leaving those laws in place until the court answers an important constitutional question.

“This acquiescence may well be seen as a signal of the court’s intended resolution of that question,” Thomas wrote in an opinion that was joined by Justice Antonin Scalia. “This is not the proper way” for the court to carry out its role under the Constitution, he wrote, “and, it is indecorous for this court to pretend that it is.”

The opinion was remarkable less for the legal result it suggested than for its open criticism of fellow justices.

After all, many legal commentators have predicted not only the case’s out-

Smith’s impact goes beyond UNC after his death Dean Smith accomplished so much on and off the court during his time as North Carolina’s coach, leaving a lasting influence both on the game and the world around him.

He preached the value of team play and turned the Tar Heels program into a family, inspiring fierce loyalty in the countless players and coaches who came through Chapel Hill during Smith’s 36-year tenure there. Away from the bench, Smith took stands on societal issues — most notably in civil rights — that resonated in the once-segregated South.

The retired Hall of Fame coach died “peacefully” Saturday, his family said in a statement released by the school Sunday. He had kept a lower profile amid health issues in recent years, with his family saying in 2010 he had a condition that was causing him

to lose the memory that was once unshakeable.

But his legacy never wavered. Here are some of the ways that Smith’s presence will be felt at UNC, in college basketball and beyond for years to come.

Four corners

Seeing Smith hold up four fingers meant the Tar Heels were ready to work the clock. That “Four Corners” offense was a slowdown strategy to control the game and lure the defense out to chase the ball. Most notably, UNC went to it in the 1982 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament final against Virginia and 7-foot-4 Ralph Sampson and turned a game between highly ranked teams into a crawl — the kind of moment that helped ultimately lead to the adoption of the shot clock.

Point to the passer

The rule was simple: when you score, point to the guy that passed you the ball to set up the basket. It was the epitome of Smith’s attempts to deflect credit for all those wins — 879, making him the sport’s winningest coach when he retired in October 1997 — to his players throughout his career.

Civil rights

Under Smith, Charles Scott became the first black scholarship athlete at the school in 1967 and one of the first in the South.

It was just one example of why President Barack Obama honored Smith with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013, saying Smith “pushed forward” the civil rights movement.

But his efforts started See SMITH, Page B3

A little luck, lot of skill helps Day win Piller ties for

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jason Day had a good feeling that this was going to be a big year for him as long as he could stay healthy.

Here’s to good health.

Day lived up to one part of his mission Sunday in the Farmers Insurance Open by winning a fourman playoff on the second extra hole at Torrey Pines, which doesn’t host the U.S. Open for six more years but certainly felt like one in February.

“I’ve never been more motivated to play well than right now, this year,” Day said. “The other years I was motivated, but I wasn’t ...

I really want to kick butt this year. I’ve come close so many times to having great years. To be able to be healthy again, be out here playing, getting off to a good start ... I was really motivated to not only have a great year, but try and achieve that No. 1 spot.”

He moved to No. 4 in the world, still miles behind Rory McIlroy, though he can at least claim to be No. 1 in Australia. He moved past Adam Scott at No. 5.

Day needed a little luck at Torrey Pines, and that came on the par-5 18th hole in regulation when his chip out of deep rough behind the green went down the bank toward the water and stopped on the hazard line. He need-

Bills sign Incognito, key figure in bullying scandal ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Richie Incognito is getting another chance in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills signed the nine-year veteran guard on Monday, providing a second opportunity after his career was derailed by the Miami Dolphins’ bullying scandal in 2013.

It will be Incognito’s second stint with Buffalo; he started three games with the Bills in 2009.

“I personally met with Richie regarding an opportunity to earn a spot on the Buffalo Bills roster,” Bills owner Terry Pegula said in a statement, adding that general manager Doug Whaley, new coach Rex Ryan and Pegula’s co-owner, wife Kim, also spoke with Incognito. “Obviously, we all discussed Richie’s past experience in the NCAA and NFL. “We are convinced that Richie is prepared to move forward and has and will continue to take the necessary steps to improve himself as a person and a teammate. Following discussion with the rest of the coaching staff, we as an organization will provide him with the opportunity to do so.”

The 6-foot-3, 319-pound Incognito was a free agent

and had been out of football since being suspended and missing the final eight games of 2013. The discipline came after an NFL investigation determined Incognito and two other Dolphins offensive linemen persistently harassed teammate Jonathan Martin, who left the team. Martin spent last season with San Francisco.

The Bills went through numerous starting guards last season.

Ryan, coincidentally, used the word “bully” in vowing he wanted to build a tough team, during his introductory news conference in Buffalo.

“We’re going to build a bully and we’re going to see if you’re going to play us for 60 minutes,” Ryan had said.

Incognito had established a reputation for having a mean streak even before the bullying scandal. Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus once called Incognito “the dirtiest player in the NFL,” following a game against the Dolphins.

Several teams considered signing Incognito last season before turning elsewhere. That included the Buccaneers in August, when coach Lovie Smith confirmed he planned to

Roswell golfer Gerina Piller finished 11 under par and tied for seventh place last weekend at the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA tournament at Paradise Island, Bahamas.

The Goddard High School graduate shot a 3-underpar 70 final round Sunday and earned $31,310. She opened with a 69 and followed with rounds of 70

and 72 on the second and third days. Piller finished in the top 10 of an LPGA tournament for the 17th time in her eight-year career.

Rookie golfer Sei Young Kim won the tournament in a playoff over Sun Young Yoo and Ariya Jutanugarn.

The LPGA Tour is off this week but will resume Feb. 19 with the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open in Melbourne.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Prosecutors dismissed domestic violence charges against Panthers defensive end and soon-to-be free agent Greg Hardy on Monday after they said the accuser in the case couldn’t be found.

The dismissal happened just as Hardy’s appeal in the case was set to begin.

Mecklenburg County district attorney Andrew Murray told the judge that officials attempted many times to contact the woman, but failed. Murray said the woman had reached a civil suit agreement with Hardy.

Hardy, whose NFL future is uncertain, left with his attorney and did not answer questions. Moments before court convened, Hardy appeared calm, tweeting that he was would be giving away a pair of his game cleats to a fan who could name his favorite color, his favorite president and his favorite NBA player.

Hardy was convicted last summer on assault on a female and communicating threats in a case involving a former girlfriend. The Associated Press generally does not name victims of abuse.

Murray told Superior Court Judge Robert T. Sumner that law enforcement had taken “extraordinary” measures to find the accuser so that she could testify during the appeal.

He said they took surveillance of her new address, attempted to find her at work and tried to contact relatives but couldn’t locate her.

The woman’s attorney also would not share information about her location, he said.

The accuser had testified on July 15 that she was scared of Hardy and worried about her safety if she went to police.

She also testified that Hardy threw her in the bathroom and later on to a futon filled with guns.

She also said he placed his hands on her throat and threatened to kill her.

“He looked me in my eyes

and he told me he was going to kill me,” the woman testified on July 15. “I was so scared I wanted to die.

When he loosened his grip slightly, I said just, ‘Do it.

Kill me.’”

In his testimony, Hardy refuted that accusation.

He testified that he never hit nor threw the accuser, and didn’t threaten her.

Hardy said the woman became angry when he wouldn’t have sex with her and he left the room to sleep in the living room.

Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment on the dismissal. Team spokesman Steve Drummond said it’s possible the team could have a statement at a later time.

Hardy’s NFL future remains uncertain.

He’s scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March and it’s uncertain if the Panthers will try to re-sign him.

It’s also unclear if the NFL will hand down any punishment against Hardy based on his original conviction.

Hardy had faced a possible six-game suspension under NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s toughened stance on domestic violence following the Ray Rice ordeal.

League spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email Monday to The Associated Press that Hardy remains on the commissioner’s exempt list.

“His status remains unchanged until we fully review the matter,” Aiello said in the email.

Hardy was a dynamic player for the Panthers in his first four seasons, recording 33 sacks. He has 15 sacks in 2013, helping the Panthers go 12-4 and win the NFC South championship.

Following that season, the Panthers put the franchise tag on him rather than allow him to walk in free agency.

Hardy made $13.1 million last season despite playing in only one game after being placed on the commissioner’s exempt list.

Rare Shoeless Joe Jackson autograph Vonn breaks into tears after Alpine photo may bring $100,000 to fan Sharon Bowen thought her late husband was a bit crazy for buying a scrapbook filled with black and white photos of Cleveland ballplayers from the early 1900s — but not anymore.

It turns out that book held what may be the only autographed photo of Shoeless Joe Jackson, the Holy Grail of baseball signatures.

Jackson, who was tossed out of baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series and remembered in the movie “Field of Dreams,” was illiterate and rarely signed anything but paychecks and legal documents, making his autographs among the rarest in sports.

How many Jackson signatures are in existence isn’t clear, but most experts agree that it’s probably less than 100. But this is the first signed photo authenticated by autograph experts, according to Heritage Auctions, which is handling the sale of the century-old photograph this month.

It could fetch at least $100,000, according to the Dallas-based auction house.

“If I were a betting man, I’d say the chances of another one surfacing would be highly unlikely,” said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator, which validated the signature and photo.

Bowen’s husband, Bill, first saw the scrapbook about 10 years ago.

It was stored in a barn near Cleveland and belonged to a couple whose family was friends with Frank W. Smith, a photographer with The Plain Dealer newspaper. He shot the photo of Jackson along with those of Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson and Napoleon Lajoie during spring training in 1911.

The family offered to sell the scrapbook five years ago to Bowen’s husband because they knew how much he treasured the 60 photos. The price tag: $15,000.

“I told him ‘absolutely not,’” Bowen said. “Luckily for me, I lost that argument.”

Her husband kept the book in a trunk, looking at it almost every day and

BEAVER CREEK, Colo.

(AP) — Lindsey Vonn smiled and waved to the hometown crowd after finishing a run that didn’t count.

Out of view, she broke into tears. All the pent-up pressure from being the favorite at the world championships boiled over after she straddled a gate in the slalom portion of the Alpine combined Monday, knocking her out of the race.

Vonn had high expectations for not just one medal, but many — and more to the point, gold — at a competition so close to her home in Vail, Colorado.

So far, she has a bronze in the super-G, a fifth-place finish in the downhill and now this: A “DNF” — did not finish — in the Alpine combined, which meshes one run of downhill with another of slalom.

Now, she’s down to one event — the giant slalom on Thursday — to capture an elusive gold medal.

“A lot of expectations and I tried my best to live up to them,” said the 30-yearold Vonn, who became the all-time winningest female World Cup racer this season. “I really tried as hard as I could. I came up short.

That’s disappointing for myself, my family and my fans.”

Vonn hasn’t been able to find her rhythm on a difficult Raptor course, partly because it’s icy and that doesn’t “really feel good on my knee.”

The four-time overall World Cup champion blew out her right knee in a super-G race at the 2013 world championships in Schladming, Austria. She then hurt her knee again in her comeback, keeping her out of the Sochi Olympics.

Vonn was looking forward to this event in her backyard. It just hasn’t been the show she was hoping to stage.

“I didn’t figure out this hill at all,” Vonn said.

Instead, it’s been Slovenia’s Tina Maze making herself at home on Vonn’s hill. Maze added the gold from the Alpine combined to the silver she won in the super-G and gold in the downhill last week. Maze’s trying to match Norwegian great Lasse Kjus, who earned medals in all five disciplines at the 1999 worlds in Beaver Creek.

Maze gets the pressure Vonn’s under.

“I know exactly what the feeling is like when things are not going the way you want to,” Maze said. “It happened to me. It happened to everybody. When you’re going through that, you need to trust in yourself.”

Vonn knows that winning a medal in the giant slalom will take a “miracle” — her word from last week — since it’s not one of her stronger disciplines these days. But she’s going for it, she said.

That’s what makes her difficulties in the slalom Monday so hard to accept, since she’s been training well in the technical event.

After a decent downhill run, she thought she was in contention for a medal.

But she smashed into a gate early in the slalom and that was that. Still, she finished the run and did a fancy swoop at the bottom of the hill, drawing cheers from the crowd.

“Just try to forget today as fast as possible and move on to the next race,” Vonn said.

Expanded All-Star break presents new challenges

The All-Star break is almost here.

The NBA’s elite will flock to New York later this week for the annual sports spectacle, culminating with the marquee game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. It’s a time for the league to showcase itself and its stars, and it’s a chance for players and coaches to pause from the regular season’s 82-game grind.

And unlike in past years, everybody might actually be able to unwind.

The NBA doubled the days off between games this season after players encouraged Commissioner Adam Silver to rework the schedule. Teams will have a minimum break of eight days between games, allowing even those who participate in All-Star weekend to get a few days of real rest.

While nobody will complain about it, the extended break presents new challenges. Players will need to stay in rhythm, and coaches will need to keep them focused.

“I always thought the games were a little ragged after a four-day break. After an eight-day break, I’m not sure what to expect,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who is leading the Western Conference All-Star team.

Kerr, like most coaches,

From deep grass, his flop shot was running hot on the green, down the ridge, off the green, toward the water. Day figured his tournament was over.

“Once I saw it go down there I was just thinking, ‘OK, where do I need to drop?’” Day said.

Hirscher fast in slalom, wins Alpine

BEAVER CREEK, Colo.

(AP) — The snow conditions were a little bit of a sticky subject for everyone other than Marcel Hirscher and Ted Ligety.

Sticky, because the sun and soaring temperatures turned the slalom course into a groove-filled track that made attacking downright difficult for everyone else. Going first, Hirscher tore up the hill. Racing next, Ligety did, too. Two improbable medals from way, way back in the pack.

Hirscher, of Austria, made up a staggering 3.16 seconds in the slalom portion of the Alpine combined to win the gold medal at the world championships Sunday, with downhill leader Kjetil Jansrud of Norway hanging on for silver. Hirscher finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 36.10 seconds.

Jansrud was 0.19 seconds back. Ligety, the defending champion, earned bronze after going right after Hirscher, when the course was still holding up.

“We got lucky with the start numbers and how it deteriorated so fast,” said Ligety, from Park City, Utah. “This is definitely a surprise for sure.”

The race had a scary moment when Ondrej Bank of the Czech Republic lost his balance on the final jump of the downhill and crashed hard on the snow, sliding across the finish line on his side. He suffered a concussion, bruised leg

and facial cuts.

Bank was disqualified for straddling a gate. That bumped Hirscher up from 31st to 30th, and the skier in 30th goes first in the slalom. A big advantage because had he started No. 31, well, “I wouldn’t have won,” Hirscher conceded.

“You always need luck to be in first position,” Hirscher added.

No one could catch Hirscher after his nearly flawless slalom run. Not surprising, really, since Hirscher is so smooth in technical events.

“It’s unbelievable,” Hirscher said of winning the event that was formerly known as the super-combined. “My plans for this championships was, in the best case, to catch one medal, doesn’t matter which color. I reached my goals. Everything that happens now is super good.”

Jansrud, who’s not known for his slalom, jumped out to a big lead on the tech specialists with his downhill run. As the 30th racer down the hill in the slalom, he had a “queasy” feeling in the start gate, knowing the conditions weren’t ideal for him. He put that out of his mind, charged ahead and turned in an impressive final run on deteriorating conditions to earn his first medal at worlds.

He was expected to win a medal in the super-G or the downhill, maybe even two, but he didn’t.

Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey lead US men past Panama, 2-0

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — When Michael Bradley curled a corner kick over the Panama defense and into the net for a spectacular goal, Clint Dempsey was unsure exactly how it happened.

“You’d have to ask him whether he was aiming for that, because we didn’t know,” Dempsey said, laughing.

With big goals from both veterans and a clean sheet, the United States provided ample reason for more excitement heading into an eventful year.

Bradley scored in the 27th minute, Dempsey added his 40th career goal later in the first half, and the Americans snapped a five-game winless skid with a 2-0 victory over Panama on Sunday.

The Americans wrapped up a monthlong training camp with their best result in 10 games since winning their opener at last year’s World Cup. The U.S. had won just once since beating

Ghana in Brazil, but coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad looked considerably sharper in its home opener for a big year that includes the Gold Cup and World Cup qualifying.

Bradley started it with a spectacular Olimpico goal, putting his corner kick directly into the far top corner of Jaime Penedo’s net with an exceptional bend.

Jozy Altidore could have headed it in if needed, but instead watched it settle for Bradley’s 13th career goal.

“Coming out of a little bit of a difficult period, it was an important game for us,” Bradley said. “Maybe this isn’t the most important game we’ll play this year, but while it wasn’t perfect, we were able to do a lot of good things. It sets the groundwork for the rest of the year.”

As for his goal, Bradley assured everybody that’s exactly what he meant to do.

“Well, we work on a lot of different set pieces,” Brad-

ley said.

Goalkeeper Sean Johnson replaced Nick Rimando for the second half, finishing up the Americans’ first shutout since their last victory, over the Czech Republic last September.

The Americans’ most impressive player was hometown star Gyasi Zardes, the LA Galaxy forward. He punctuated his first career U.S. start in the 37th minute by winning the ball in midfield and making a beautiful pass to Dempsey, who sidestepped Penedo and finished.

Klinsmann praised Zardes and other youngsters who stepped up during the camp.

“He is trying to impress, and he’s hungry,” Klinsmann said about Zardes.

“He showed certain tools he has. The assist to Clint was just perfect, perfect timing.

It shows he has something special.”

Dempsey, the Seattle Sounders star, trails only Landon Donovan as the

second-leading goal-scorer in U.S. history.

The Americans improved on last month’s 3-2 loss in Chile while showing none of the second-half struggles that have prompted Klinsmann to question their fitness. The U.S. had yielded nine goals in the second halves of its previous six games, but held Panama to a handful of good chances all day at StubHub Center south of downtown Los Angeles.

Panama had little offensive luck against the U.S. in their first meeting since the Americans scored two stoppage-time goals to knock the Panamanians out of World Cup contention in heartbreaking fashion in October 2013. Panama has beaten the Americans just once in 15 meetings, losing six straight.

After experimenting with a three-man back line in Chile, Klinsmann started in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Southern California natives Zardes and Miguel Ibarra

got their first career starts, and Brek Shea moved back to defense to compensate for the absence of Steve Birnbaum, who has a minor knee injury.

Defenders Perry Kitchen and Matt Hedges made their U.S. debuts in the second half, coming on for Mix Diskerud and DeAndre Yedlin. Ten players have made their U.S. debuts in the seven games since the World Cup. A few fans unhappy with Klinsmann made their feelings known behind the south goal with banners reading “JK OUT” and “Red Card the Coach.”

Yet after a tentative start, Klinsmann’s team showed off decent chemistry in the first half, capped by two beautiful goals. The second half was slower, but the American defense was largely impenetrable.

Before the match, Panama honored Penedo for his 100th appearance. The LA Galaxy netminder got a big ovation from his home

Congress to vote to repeal NLRB rule

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans launched a drive Monday to repeal a recent National Labor Relations Board rule updating procedures for union representation elections, setting up a likely veto showdown with President Barack Obama.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said the GOP will employ a little-used law that permits the Senate to reject some federal agency regulations by majority vote and denies opponents the ability to thwart action through a filibuster.

Alexander said that by shortening the time between a union’s request for representation and the actual balloting, the NLRB had cleared the way for a new type of “ambush election” to take place that will disadvantage businesses and workers alike.

In remarks on the Senate floor, he said that under previous rules, 95 percent of union elections take place in 56 days or less from the filing of a petition. He said that under the new proposal, that would be reduced to as few as 11 days, which he said could

be before an employer understands what’s happening.

In a written statement, NLRB chairman Mark G. Pearce countered that “both businesses and workers deserve a process that is effective, fair, and free of unnecessary delays, which is exactly what this rule strives to accomplish.”

Mirroring divisions in Congress, NLRB rule-making is often politically charged, with Republicans taking the side of business while Democrats are aligned with unions. In the case of the rule approved in December, the labor board split 3-2 along party lines.

The rule, which has been cheered by organized labor, eliminates a previous 25-day waiting period and seeks to reduce litigation that can be used to stall elections. It also requires employers to furnish union organizers with email addresses and phone numbers of workers.

The NLRB rule is scheduled to take effect in April.

LONDON (AP) — A trove of leaked documents shows that HSBC’s Swiss private bank turned a blind eye to illegal activities of arms dealers and blood diamond traders while helping rich people evade taxes, according to a report based on the documents that was published Monday.

The data relate to accounts worth $100 billion held by more than 100,000 people and legal entities around the world.

and launched investigations.

The French newspaper Le Monde obtained a version of the data and shared the material with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which analyzed the material together with The Guardian and the BBC in Britain.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — If you’re a billionaire living in Connecticut, chances are the tax department is keeping an eye on you.

In a state home to some of the richest Americans, tax officials go to some lengths to keep them — or, more accurately, keep the billions of dollars in revenue their income taxes generate.

Connecticut tax officials track quarterly estimated payments of 100 high net-worth taxpayers and can tell when payments are down. Of that number, about a half-dozen taxpayers have an effect on revenue that’s noticed in the legislature and Department of Revenue Services.

“There are probably a handful of people, five to seven people, who if they just picked up and went, you would see that in the revenue stream,” said Kevin Sullivan, the state’s commissioner of the Department of Revenue Services.

With one exception, he said, state officials don’t actually approach the super-rich. He said: “There isn’t friendly visiting or anything like that, how are you feeling? Doing all right? Doing OK?” Two years ago, tax officials were alarmed that a super-rich hedge fund

owner might leave and reduce the state’s income tax revenue. They set up a meeting and urged the unidentified taxpayer to stay. The effort was partly successful, with the taxpayer leaving Connecticut but agreeing to keep the hedge fund here.

“It would be nice to have both, but at least we didn’t lose both,” said Kevin Sullivan, the state’s revenue commissioner.

Tax officials in a few states said they do not track individual tax payments, though state budget officials typically follow total quarterly tax payments by the rich to make sure revenue projections hold up.

And some experts don’t believe there’s any need to worry about the superrich moving to avoid high taxes. “The claims are almost always anecdotal,” said Matt Gardner, executive director of the institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

Connecticut tax officials won’t say who the superrich are, citing privacy, but it’s not hard to guess.

Many movers and shakers in and around New York City, the capital of the banking and hedge-fund world, work in or populate the verdant suburbs next door in Connecticut. They

include names like hedge

fund owner Steven Cohen; Thomas Peterffy, of Interactive Brokers; Ray Dalio, of Bridgewater Associates; and Paul Tudor Jones, of Tudor Investment Corp.

Combined, their net worth is more than $40 billion, according to Forbes.

Those four declined to discuss their experiences, if any, with Connecticut tax officials. But if they or other big-moneyed individuals or their businesses decide to leave, the danger is real.

In April 2014, super-rich taxpayers in Connecticut and elsewhere shielded their income through charitable donations or other means to avoid a tax hit

federal tax cuts.

The result: Connecticut income tax revenue plunged by nearly $281 million, more than 14 percent, compared with the same month a year before.

In the 2014 budget year, state income tax revenue was $8.7 billion, more than half the $16.4 billion in total revenue from taxes and fees.

While tax officials in several states say they track revenue from rich people’s taxes, none said they have approached super-wealthy taxpayers as Connecticut has, intending to persuade them to stay put.

The consortium said clients include former and current politicians from Britain, Russia, Ukraine, Kenya, India, Mexico, Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe, and Algeria.

Switzerland had the greatest number of clients of the data examined, followed by France, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Italy. In terms of ranking by value, Switzerland was first with $31.2 billion, followed by the United Kingdom with $21.7 billion; Venezuela with $14.8 billion; the U.S. with $13.4 billion; and France with $12.5 billion.

details of such operations were disclosed previously, when HSBC was fined in 2012 by the U.S. for allowing criminals to use its branches for money laundering, Monday’s information suggests HSBC took an active role in assisting the wealthy in hiding their money from authorities.

“The bank repeatedly reassured clients that it would not disclose details of accounts to national authorities, even if evidence suggested that the accounts were undeclared to tax authorities in the client’s home country,” the consortium said. “Bank employees also discussed with clients a range of measures that would ultimately allow clients to avoid

paying taxes in their home countries.”

Crawford Spence, a professor of accounting at the University of Warwick, said this case was different than other recent tax scandals.

“HSBC has been complicit in clear tax evasion and law breaking rather than legitimate tax avoidance,” he said.

their fair share.

In Britain, the report sparked criticism of tax authorities. The national tax agency clawed back 135 million pounds ($236 million) from some of the 3,600 Britons identified as using the Geneva branch of HSBC, but only one person has been prosecuted. France, by contrast, launched 103 legal actions.

“You are left wondering, as you see the enormity of what has been going on, what it actually takes to bring a tax cheat to court,” Margaret Hodge, chair of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee, told the BBC.

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I'm a high school student who has the amazing opportunity to travel to Spain for a school year as a foreign exchange student. I know I am very lucky to have this opportunity to travel, but I am scared about the people there.

I am a Mormon, so I will have to uphold my standards alone in a non-Mormon environment. I have never been away from home for this long, and that's hard enough as it is. I guess I just need some advice on how to be strong when I'm there.

ALONE IN SPAIN

DEAR ALONE: I agree that you are being given an amazing opportunity to grow and learn. If you haven't spoken about this with your adviser, please do so. I assume you will be living with a host family. When you get there, consider discussing your concerns with the parents. I am sure you will be encouraged to stick to your standards and beliefs, and be respected for doing so if you remember to also respect others who may not think exactly the way you do.

HHHHH

DEAR ABBY: My niece had a baby a year after graduating from high school and is now raising her daughter as a single mom. After the first year, I told her that if there was anything she needed to let me know, but that I would rather contribute to a college fund for her daughter than send her toys for gift-giving holidays.

My niece was thrilled, so I set up a college savings account

for her daughter and contribute to it monthly in lieu of birthday and Christmas gifts for them.

However, when those gift-giving occasions come, I worry they may feel slighted when presents arrive from me for others. My niece and I never mentioned it to other family members.

Would it be appropriate for me to send some kind of reminder occasionally so they know the account is there and growing?

CONTRIBUTING TO HER FUTURE DEAR CONTRIBUTING: Yes, it's appropriate. You should also send your niece a summary at the end of each year so she can see the progress. In addition, you might consider sending the child an inexpensive small gift or card so she'll have something to open.

HHHHH

DEAR ABBY: In response to the letter from "David in Kentucky" (Nov. 2), the 50-year-old single man

Tuesday, February 10, 2015

who was unsure what to do with his late mother's engagement ring, I disagree with your answer. Yes, gems are meant to be enjoyed, and the ring is doing no one any good in a drawer, but he should NOT sell it.

I think David should have a man's ring made for himself with it, so he can have a memento of what his dad gave his mom to treasure many years ago. I wear my mom's and grandmother's rings every day on my right hand, and remember them often with joy.

DEVOTED FAN IN FLORIDA DEAR DEVOTED FAN: Your suggestion was the No. 1 comment I received from readers. Some said if David was eventually to meet the woman he wanted to marry, the stone could be removed again and reset into a lady's ring.

Another good idea several readers offered is to donate the ring in his mother's memory to a charity auction of a cause she supported.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: In a recent column, Bev A. asked for hints about what to do with all the PLASTIC HANGERS she had. Here are just a handful of all of the hints readers sent: Dolores S. in Mansfield, Ohio, wrote: "Please mention the laundromat. I worked at a laundry for three years, and we could always use hangers. The owner had to buy boxes of them, and donations would help with expenses. People wanted their laundry hung up, but wouldn't bring their own hangers." * Nancy Meyer, via email, wrote: "We help settle refugees, and really need hangers when we set up their apartments. Spread the word to check with an agency in the area that settles refugees.

They will gladly take them." * A Reader, via email, wrote: "Other great ideas for extra hangers are to contact hospitals. The hangers seem to disappear from the patient rooms when patients are discharged."

All good hints, and it's wonderful to find out about great ways to recycle hangers. Here is another hint from me: See if nursing homes and assisted-living facilities would be able to use extra hangers.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: Many people have made a New Year's resolution to exercise or get more fit. I have a piece of advice that works for me. Have workout clothes ready. If you have to search for the socks, the shoes, the top and the pants, it won't take long to be discouraged.

I have walked every day (2 miles) for 37 years, and I have my clothes ready to jump into in the morning. Another hint: Get it done in the morning, if you can.

As the day progresses, you are less likely to feel like doing it.

Hagar the Horrible

Dear Heloise: With the popularity of gift bags instead of wrapped presents, a lot of tissue paper is needed. I never buy tissue paper because I gathered all the paper from last year's gift bags and ironed them. They are good as new, and I am able to use the paper several times.

Kaye in Arkansas Dear Heloise: Ever wonder what to do with all the chopsticks that come with takeout Chinese food? Wonder no more. Chopsticks make great paint stirrers if you have small cans of paint. Don't pull the chopsticks apart, and they will work great to mix your paint.

Heloise, thanks for the helpful hints. I read your column every morning.

Marla S., Seal Beach, Calif.

Hi, Marla. Thanks for reading my column. I use the chopsticks for my potted plants to aerate the soil.

Hugs, Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: I created a folder I have saved to my desktop on my computer, which I update every time I finish a book. Then, when I go shopping for more books, I print a copy and take it with me to prevent buying a book I have already enjoyed.
