Former chair of DWI board charged with DWI crash

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

A drunken driving case against a former New Mexico State Police captain who recently chaired the Chaves County DWI Planning Council appears to be a case few authorities care to touch given a slew of judicial recusals.

Fifth Judicial District Attorney Janetta Hicks has appointed the case against former State Police Capt.

Oscar R. Gonzalez to 9th Judicial District Attorney Andrea Reeb in Clovis.

Reeb has accepted her appointment as special prosecutor and the case is scheduled to be heard in Chaves County, before Chaves County Magistrate

Judge Pat Casados.

Chaves County Magistrate Judges Buddy Hall, John Halvorson and K.C. Rogers all recently recused themselves from the case.

Roswell attorney S. Doug Jones Witt is defending Gonzalez, who is scheduled to appear before Casados March 23 for a docket call hearing.

A trial date has not yet been set.

Gonzalez, a former state police captain and former chairman of the Chaves County DWI Planning Council, faces eight different charges after allegedly blowing through a red light on Roswell’s Main Street the night of Jan. 30, crashing into another vehicle

and fleeing the scene.

Gonzalez, 56, of Roswell, is charged with aggravated driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, open container, reckless driving, failure to give information and render aid, failure to give immediate notice of accidents, leaving the scene of an accident involving damage to vehicle, speeding at least 30 mph above the speed limit, and failure to obey a traffic signal.

Although all eight charges are misdemeanors, Gonzalez’s arrest on the drunken-driving related charges sent shock waves through the local law enforcement community, including the Chaves

Gonzalez County DWI Planning Council, which Gonzalez chaired throughout 2009 and 2010.

“I’m very disappointed,” said DWI council community advocate and former two-term Chaves County Commissioner Alice

Eppers. “I’m sorry for him and his family, but being an ex-policeman for several years, I think they all know what they’re doing when they get behind a wheel and they had been drinking. I’m just sorry. I think he is a good man.”

Roswell police officer Joel Smoyer wrote in a criminal complaint he placed Gonzalez driving north on North Main Street at about 70 mph in a 35 mph zone the night of Jan. 30.

Smoyer said Gonzalez ran a red light at Mescalero Road as Gonzalez’s pickup struck another car in the intersection of North Main Street and Mescalero Road.

Neither Gonzalez nor the driver of the car, an

A National Civilian Community Corp from AmeriCorp worked throughout the day on Monday clearing out the Roswell Motor Supply site. The site was saved from demolition by a community group that has since formed into a non-profit by the name of PRO-Roswell. This group is spearheading an effort to restore and revitalize downtown Roswell, and is currently restoring the Roswell Motor Supply.

In recognition of her commitment to the New Mexico mining community, state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell has been given “The Senator Ben D. Altamirano Award for Legislative Excellence.”

The non-partisan award is given by the New Mexico Mining Association, based on the legislative service of state lawmakers.

“The mining community across the state, especially the Potash Mines in Eddy County, are a proven job creator,” said Ezzell, R-Roswell, the newly appointed chair of the House Agriculture, Water & Wildlife Committee. “And while I am honored to receive mining association’s recognition

this year, I will continue to advocate on behalf of our mines as we work to bring more jobs here to New Mexico.”

The Senator Ben D. Altamirano Award for Legislative Excellence takes into consideration public service and dedication to the mining industry over an extended period.

State lawmakers receive the award only once in a lifetime.

18-year-old Roswell man, were injured. The car of the 18-year-old man sustained heavy disabling damages to its right side and rear, while Gonzalez’s pickup had damage to its front, police said.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene.

“Vehicle failed to stop and notify law enforcement of the accident or render aid,” Smoyer reported. “Vehicle left the scene of the accident and was pulled over at Bandolina (Avenue) and East Vista Parkway.”

Smoyer reported he and Gonzalez returned to the crash scene.

State Sen. Cliff Pirtle has introduced a bill that would make homeschooled students eligible for free college tuition.

Homeschoolers would be eligible for the Legislative Tuition Lottery Scholarship in New Mexico, just like public and private school seniors, under the bill sponsored by Pirtle.

“I want to treat the homeschool students equally when compared to private and public school educated students,” said Pirtle, R-Roswell.

Presently, Pirtle said homeschoolers need to pass an exam for a high school equivalency diploma, formally known as a GED, before they are eligible for the free college tuition.

Pirtle said New Mexico universities and colleges already accept students who complete the require-

ments of a home-based primary educational program, without requiring the test that can cost more than $70. If Pirtle’s bill is enacted, students would not have to take the exam.

“There is no point to having the homeschoolers pay for this additional test when they are already accepted into New Mexico universities and colleges based on their coursework and without the test,” Pirtle said. “It is an unnecessary burden and cost placed on the homeschooler.”

Students who maintain a 2.5 grade point average after one semester in college are eligible to receive free tuition through the lottery scholarship program.

Drug court beneficiaries ask to keep funding SANTA FE (AP) — Derek Graham’s downward spiral was fueled by alcoholism. He had no relationship with his 9-year-old daughter or his wife. His job suffered — until he ended up in court.

Graham was among a handful of drug court participants who urged lawmakers last week to keep funding for drug courts in New Mexico, a state that has consistently had among the highest rates of substance abuse-related deaths in the nation.

New Mexico spends about $9.5 million on drug courts, with $2.5 million coming from a special account within the Administrative Office of the Courts. A budget proposal floated by lawmakers calls for keeping spending flat. Gov. Susa-

na Martinez’s recommendation would trim that account, which pays for a host of special court services, by more than $1 million.

Funding for drug court programs is included in the special court services category, which includes multiple components such as drug courts and court-appointed special advocates and attorneys.

The governor’s budget recommendation does not propose cuts in funding to the drug court programs and is in line with funding the agency used in the previous fiscal year, her office said.

The decision on how the office allocates money for special court services is its alone, Martinez’s spokesman Mike Lonergan said.

He added that the gover-

nor supported the drug courts program.

Administrative Office of the Courts Director Arthur Pepin told legislators that courts are legally obligated to provide services but that drug court services are discretionary. Thus, if funding for special court services is cut, he said, drug courts would take the brunt of any reductions.

Court officials used Graham and other program participants to put a human face on the need for drug courts.

Sporting a “Drug Courts Save” button and a “Support Our Courts!” sticker on his lapels, Graham, a 54-year-old real estate broker from Las Cruces, recounted his experience in a drug court program in Dona Ana County 15

years ago. Without it, he told lawmakers, “I would have been in jail today, costing the state money.”

New Mexico’s drug courts serve about 1,025 participants. Court officials estimate the loss of funding in the office’s court services account would result in about 300 fewer participants and ultimately higher costs for the state. Court administrators say costs per drug court client for counseling and rehab are about $22 per day, compared with $93 a day for state incarceration and $65 at county jails.

Graham and others say getting the money is an issue of public safety.

Noted scientist, guest speaker Van Romero believes we are not alone

By Timothy P. Howsare Record Editor

Is there life on other planets?

Dr. Van Romero, a respected physicist, believes there is. But for life to thrive and survive millions of light years away from Earth, conditions, such as temperature and atmosphere, would need to be similar to what we find on Earth.

Romero calls this “the Goldilocks zone,” a range where conditions would not be too hot, like Venus or Mercury in our own

solar system, or too cold, like Jupiter or Saturday.

And just like with everything that belonged to Mama Bear, conditions would have to be “just right” for life to exist on another planet, either in our own Milky Way or some far-off galaxy.

Romero was the guest speaker Thursday at the Rotary Club’s weekly lunch meeting.

He is vice president for research and economic development at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro, and besides his work in astronomy, has appeared as a guest on

Roswell Symphony Orchestra, bassoonist Meek deliver a ‘Cupid Connection’

By Vonnie Goss Special to the Daily Record

No naked, small-winged creature like Cupid, the legendary son of Venus, Goddess of Love, was in evidence at Pearson Auditorium on the lovely evening of Valentines Day, Feb. 14, but there were many lovers of classical music who gathered to hear the Roswell Symphony Orchestra in a concert titled “A Cupid Connection.” Under the direction of gifted maestro John Ferrer, the orchestra presented an evening of delightful and sentimental music, accredited to some of the best composers known.

Trumpets announced the beginning of the event, with the national anthem following. The first selection was from the pen of composer Carl Maria von Weber, and was the overture to his opera Der Freischutz. Although the overture seems to have experienced a “rocky beginning,” with less than enthusiastic acceptance by the public at its premiere in June 1821,

it eventually won acclaim and fame. The Roswell symphony presented it with clarity and beauty to an accepting audience.

The guest soloist for the evening, Richard Meek, was next presented to the audience. He is a professor of bassoon and music theory at Texas Tech University, and is celebrating his fiftieth year of tenure in that position. He is a longtime friend of Maestro Ferrer, and principal bassoonist, and his wife, Carol, is second bassoonist, for RSO. He played the difficult, but lovely work of famed composer Gioacchino Rossini, which is titled appropriately, “Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra.” The concerto is presented in three movements: Allegro, Largo and Rondo.

Meek’s bassoon was a delightful instrument to make the presentation, being able to produce some surprisingly high notes, as well as the deep and rich bass passages. In total, the composition was one of intriguing changes with expressively slow and love-

ly romantic presentation.

Both Meek, with the outstanding, but not overpowering support of the orchestra, brought a memorable work to the heart-sensitive attendees. As it ended, the audience was quick to respond to what they’d heard, with a quick standing ovation, and applause continuing for some time.

Obviously, the music had touched them.

After a short intermission, the orchestra returned to play the Adagietto from Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, in C sharp. Played in a slow and romantic way, it was the perfect fit for this concert. It is a love song which touches the emotions, since it is presented with great feeling. It was known that, around this time, Mahler met a young girl, Alma Schindler, whom he later married. Part of the score is said to be an ode to her.

The final selection of the program was another bit of romanticism — the Overture to Romeo and Juliet by the brilliant composer, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

The theme is lovely and well-known, having once been incorporated into a popular love song simply titled, “Our Love.”

The music is forceful and descriptive, with sections evincing the fast and troubled sounds reminiscent of the feud existing between the Montagues and Capulets — the families of the star-crossed lovers. Later, just as the story progresses, the music changes to emphasize their eternal love in death. It was performed with every musical nuance, again bringing the audience to its feet with cheering and hearty support of what they had heard! And, incidentally — or maybe not so incidentally — the last half of the program was directed by the maestro without benefit of scores. Remarkable musicianship!

Romance and love were definitely in the air at this concert, and the inspiring musicians of Roswell Symphony Orchestra were the only Cupid needed.

Scientists survey the skies to look for large objects like astroids.

Romero said he is among those scientists on a “search for ET.” Remember the movie “Contact” starring Jodie Foster? That was filmed near Socorro at the Very Large Array (VLA) telescope site, where great big dishes are aimed at the sky searching for radio waves from distant celestial bodies.

Romero said the VLA scopes were built to study pulsars, rotating stars that send out radio waves. But after the scopes started probing the skies, astronomers started finding things scientists didn’t even know existed, Romero said.

Romero said there are 3,000 known planets in other star systems.

“I am convinced there is life outside our solar system,” he said. “I believe in this century we will discover life.”

Romero said he hopes that discovery is made in the first half of the century, while he is still alive.

Lea Co. expects revenue downturn HOBBS (AP) — A southeastern New Mexico county once booming with oil and gas production is expecting a 23 percent reduction in revenue for the next fiscal year.

The Hobbs News-Sun reports that Lea County estimates the gross receipts taxes from all levies are projected to be $3.3 million less thanks to a dramatic fall in oil prices.

Sherri Bunch, Lea County finance director, says the drop in oil and gas production has also led to readjustments to this fiscal year’s spending plan.

The plunge in crude oil prices per barrel has led to plummeting gas prices nationwide and has affected the energy industry, especially in oil-rich Lea County.

A recent audit noted how the county’s main sources or revenues “are from oil and gas production tax, property tax” and other sources.

He posed the question, “Are there other solar systems like ours, or is ours unique?”

DWI

“We know he was involved in both,” Roswell Police Department spokesman Todd Wildermuth said Monday.

Gonzalez was booked at the Chaves County Detention Center. He is out of jail on $1,500 bond.

Gonzalez retired from the state police in 2010, a spokesman for the agency said Monday.

Roswell Independent School District Superintendent Tom Burris confirmed Monday Gonzalez is currently employed as a security guard at Sierra Middle School.

Charlotte Andrade, Chaves County DWI coordinator, said while Gonzalez served as chairman of the Chaves County DWI Planning Council, he helped prepare meeting agendas, chaired meetings and represented law enforcement on the council.

“He, acting as the chair for the planning council, would coordinate efforts of the group,” Andrade said.

“He basically facilitated all our efforts and that includes developing our strategic plan for identifying our gaps and needs.”

The DWI planning council, appointed by the Chaves County Commission, acts as an advisory group for Chaves County to reduce the incidents of DWI within Chaves County and throughout the state.

Staff Writer Jeff Tucker may be contacted at 575622-7710, ext. 303, or at reporter01@rdrnews.com.

“Mr. Gonzalez got out of the vehicle and I noticed that he had bloodshot, watery eyes and smelled of intoxicants,” Smoyer wrote, adding Gonzalez denied drinking alcohol although an open container of beer was found in Gonzalez’s vehicle.

According to police, the former DWI board chairman was very uncooperative at the scene of the 11:13 p.m. crash.

Smoyer said Gonzalez agreed to perform some field sobriety tests, but then refused to do the nine-step walk and turn test.

Smoyer said he placed Gonzalez under arrest and took him to the Roswell Police Department, where Smoyer said Gonzalez refused blood and breath tests.

About an hour before the crash, Roswell police said Gonzalez struck another vehicle at North Main Street and 19th Street.

Roswell police officer Alex Barleen reported Gonzalez, stopped at a red light at North Main Street and 19th Street, accelerated and struck the rear bumper of the car that was in front of his pickup truck.

The 20-year-old Loving man’s vehicle sustained damages to its rear, while the front of Gonzales’ pickup was damaged, police said.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Moral Monday lacking true morality Ethics and morality are different. Ethics involves “developing personal qualities of excellence.” The big picture, morality, “requires command-issuing universal law … willingness to obey the laws of God and nature.”

The distinction comes from Eva Brann, a teacher at St. John’s College.

Comes now the advent of Moral Monday, a construct in New Mexico of the New Mexico Federation of Labor, according to New Mexico Voices for Children, which used the Feb. 9 event to pitch its agenda through ten speakers.

Wikipedia calls Moral Monday “a grassroots social justice movement” that began in 2013 in North Carolina in response to the evil (my word) conservative deeds of Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, elected in 2012 along with Republican majorities in both houses of the Legislature. Getting arrested seems part of the North Carolina approach.

The approach here seems more

Harold Morgan New Mexico Progress laid back, from what I can deduce from the Voices release. Still, the whole thing is fraught with arrogance. Nothing seems to be happening that has passing acquaintance with the laws of God and nature. Pope Francis seems to have cornered this topic with his continuing message of pastoral work.

Government is quite different.

Go way back to 1690 and John Locke, who provided an early articulation of today’s approach.

Locke said that to avoid the dangers and general hassles of the ideal individual state of nature, “men unite into societies … and may have standing rules to

bound” the societies. Those rules are called laws.

Going back to Wikipedia, North Carolina’s Moral Monday appears deeply based in victimization — “unfair treatment, discrimination, and adverse effects of government legislation.”

In the Voices release, Executive Director Veronica García makes a claim that is partly true. “The state budget is a moral document because the way our state elected officials prioritize the spending of tax dollars tells us what they value,” Garcia said.

Not exactly.

What is true is that state government, according to the Legislative Finance Committee’s 2014 Post-Session Review, seeks “a balanced approach of maintaining general fund reserves above 10 percent while prioritizing services for education, early childhood investment, public health and safety, and protection for vulnerable citizens.”

More money for investigating

child abuse is “good and moral,” Voices says. But “decreasing money for proven prevention services” is bad. Voices leaves reality here. That one thing gets more and another less reflects another moral obligation—doing the Legislature’s main job of building a budget with the necessary trading off of uses of a semi-fixed pot of money, among about a bazillion things. The task becomes more complicated this year because the money pot shrinks as oil prices drop.

Distractions appear. House Bill 316 from former House Speaker Ken Martinez, Grants Democrat, would put $1.5 million into the Tourism Department to help host a professional golf tournament. Ain’t no way. I believe Rep. Martinez knows that. Maybe someone asked him to introduce the bill. That happens. The bill brings back similarly frivolous ideas from Gov. Bill Richardson.

Remember the music commission, the sports commission and

talk about a National Football League team located between El Paso and Albuquerque.

A worthy distraction is Senate Bill 267 from Sen. George Munoz, D-Gallup. Munoz calls for sale of the Spaceport. A thought.

The Moral Monday rallies help support right-to-work, I suggest, though the New Mexico Federation of Labor surely disagrees.

The point is that the union group provides lunch to those attending. Some of that lunch money has to come from dues paid by people who are unwilling union members as a condition of their job.

The Moral Monday rallies will continue during the legislative session, which ends March 21.

Maybe real morality, as from God and nature, will appear at one or two.

Editorial

Cyber hackers target health-care sites Cyber crooks don’t give up easily. Merchants, online gaming sites and the like have stepped up their security efforts following some nasty data breaches in recent years.

They had no choice. These were expensive messes: • It cost Sony $171 million to clean up after the 2011 hijacking of its PlayStation network and online gaming and music streaming sites.

• It cost Target $148 million to clean up after the 2013 pilfering of 40 million credit and debit card numbers and 70 million sets of personal information.

• The price tag is $62 million and rising for last year’s Home Depot hacking that compromised 56 million credit and debit card numbers.

Those numbers don’t include the loss of good will and customer trust.

Online thieves, always looking for the easiest path to ill-gotten gains, now seem to be focusing on health insurers and providers.

Last year, 10 million people were affected by health-care hacking, the highest figure in three years.

Last week, Anthem Inc., the second-largest health insurer in the United States, announced that a database containing 80 million sets of names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, email addresses and employment records, had been compromised.

The hackers used a sophisticated program designed to elude current anti-virus protection — and Anthem, to its credit, had multiple layers of security in place.

The stolen information is potentially much more dangerous than credit card numbers. It could be used for all sorts of nastiness, from individual extortion, to insurance and billing scams, to creating new identities. The worst part is the crooks don’t have to use it immediately, leaving those whose data was compromised squirming in a limbo of fear and worry.

Anthem said it closed the security hole as soon as it was revealed and quickly brought the FBI in on the case.

An investigation continues, but cyber crooks are hard to catch. Many times they’re on the other side of the globe, plus the really good ones don’t leave many tracks.

That means individual companies and providers must carry the load as far as derailing these attacks before any data is breached.

Security experts say that will be a challenge, since there are no specific standards that everyone must follow.

Much like stock car racing in the old days, it’s “run what you brung” as far as protecting data. That needs to change.

There will be screams about the cost.

We figure it will be much cheaper than another cleanup.

If you build it, they will come – apparently NOT! In 1955, Dr. Alvin Weinberg took charge of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee and began a personal campaign to try to realize the benefits of thorium. Under his leadership, two prototype nuclear reactors were built, the Aircraft Reactor Experiment and the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment, to demonstrate key technologies needed to bring thorium energy generation to reality.

In 1973, the Nixon Administration made a momentous decision that altered the course of civilian nuclear power: The Administration defunded the renowned Oak Ridge National Laboratory nuclear programs and fired Director Weinberg, pre-

Martin Kral Guest Columnist venting the continued development of a nuclear reactor widely regarded as safer and superior to the global commercial nuclear industry of this day. The 400+ commercially active reactors today have served us well over 50 years without producing CO2. Many new reactors are still being built based on those early designs to expand capacity at existing power plant locations.

There are also several new nuclear programs in previous non-nuclear countries with plans to build their first nuclear power plant. However, it is time to bring the molten salt reactors to market as the next generation reactor.

President Richard Nixon knowingly banished a reactor that was virtually meltdown-proof, left comparatively little long-lived waste, made it more difficult to fashion a bomb from the waste, ran at normal atmospheric pressure instead of the potentially explosive pressurized environments of conventional reactors, and produced much higher temperatures, making it more cost-effective as an electric-

ity generator and industrial heat source for aluminum and cement production or saline water desalination, just to name a few. And, for what reason – politics never change, only administrations.

Under Director Weinberg, ORNL had built and operated a small, experimental version of the first molten-salt reactor that ran for five years back in the late 1960s. Electricity generation was not attached to it so it only generated heat almost flawlessly.

It wasn’t perfect but it was a good start, and inventor Dr. Weinberg was preparing to improve it. Then President Nixon’s budget axe fell, leavSee KRAL, Page A5

Urgent care centers are for non-emergencies DEAR DOCTOR K: What are urgent care centers? Are they the same as emergency rooms?

DEAR READER: They definitely are not the same.

Emergency rooms are for true emergencies — even though many people go to emergency rooms for quite minor problems. Typically, emergency rooms are attached to hospitals, because patients with true emergencies usually need to be hospitalized after their treatment in the emergency room.

In contrast, urgent care centers are for medical problems that benefit from prompt attention but are not life-threatening. Some hospitals staff urgent care centers

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate as well as emergency rooms.

However, many urgent care centers are stand-alone units, located in storefronts or drugstores. Urgent care centers are for common illnesses, such as colds, the flu, earaches, sore throats, migraines, low-grade fevers and rashes. They’re also for minor injuries, such as sprains, back pain, minor

cuts and burns.

How do you decide where to go for an urgent medical problem? If you have a primary care doctor, the first thing to do is contact him or her — unless you’re convinced it’s a life-threatening emergency. If you don’t have a primary care doctor, then you’ve got a decision to make.

Suppose a loved one burned his hand, is clutching his chest or has a high fever. When deciding between an emergency room and an urgent care center, consider this general rule: If a person could die or be permanently disabled, go to an emergency room. If the problem does not seem life-threatening and does not risk disability, go to

an urgent care clinic.

How do you know if your symptom (or that of a family member) could cause a person to “die or be permanently disabled”? The following situations require emergency treatment in adults: • Severe chest pain or pressure; • Pain in the chest that travels to the arm or jaw, even if not severe; • Unusually bad headache, especially if it started suddenly; • Suddenly not being able to speak, see, walk or move; • Sudden weakness or drooping on one side of the body; • Choking; See DR.K, Page A5

State’s Civil War history topic of presentation “Rebels in the Rockies” will be the theme of Dr. Walter Pittman’s free presentation at the Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 2 p.m.

Everyone is invited to hear him share information about his books, “Rebels in the Rockies” and “New Mexico and the Civil War,” along with the history of the area during this time period. The Civil War was fought in 10,000 places, including New Mexico’s Battles of Valverde and Glorieta Pass.

Walter Earl Pittman is a retired college history professor. He is a leader in New Mexico historic preservation and is active in the Boots and Saddles Foundation, Fort Stanton, the Lincoln County Historical Society and the New Mexico Military History Society. He lives in Roswell with his wife, Kathleen, in a historic restored adobe house.

The author will be selling and signing copies of his books after the program. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Roswell Public Library.

ing ORNL as the keeper of a valuable, clean, safe nuclear energy technology that eventually ended up on a shelf in the backroom.

Well, someone eventually came to the ball park to seriously play ball China. The United States government decided not to play but only wanted to coach. DOE plans to sign a 10-year collaboration agreement with China to help that country build at least one molten-salt reactor (MSR) within the next decade based on the ORNL experiments.

China has committed some $400 million for development of two molten-salt reactors at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, which is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. China first announced its plans in early 2011, and at one point was targeting 2015 for completion of a tiny

In 1970, he is visited by Shasta, an ex-girlfriend who wants him to investigate a case involving her current boyfriend, Michael Wolfman. She has learned of a plot by Mrs. Wolfman to kidnap Michael so that she can inherit his large fortune. Shortly after her visit, both Shasta and Michael disappear. Chasing both hallucinations and real leads, Doc meets an interesting assortment of characters. Along with adventures that are both comical and relevant to finding the kidnapped couple, Sportello solves the case and rescues his ex.

The movie is up for an Academy Award for best costume and best writing for an adapted screenplay.

Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild” is the memoir of a woman who abandons society and treks 1,100 miles across the Pacific Coast Trail.

At 22, Strayed thought she had lost everything.

In the wake of her mother’s death, with her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. She attempts to reclaim control of her life by undertaking a journey. She emerges from her ordeal bruised but not beaten, changed, a lone survivor. There are Academy Award nominations for Reese Witherspoon for best actress and for Laura Dern as best supporting actress.

Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” fits within mystery, suspense, and crime genres. On her fifth wedding anniversary, Amy vanishes from her home

under suspicious circumstances.

The narrative alternates between Amy’s diary entries and her husband Nick’s real-time experiences in the aftermath of her disappearance. Their complicated relationship unfolds leaving the reader with a growing list of scenarios, suspects, and motives to consider. The best actress nominee is Rosamund Pike as Amy. There are popular books that will soon be released as a movie. In Andy Weir’s “The Martian,” a disaster wrecks the NASA expedition and causes the mission to be aborted. Mark Watney was one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. Mark is injured and presumed to be dead. He is left alone with no communication and limited supplies.

Mark is, however, the mission engineer, the fix-it guy, and with intelligence and grit he goes to work to stay alive. There are setbacks and triumphs galore as we follow his sojourn on Mars via his journal entries.

Patrick Ness’ award-winning book, “A Monster Calls,” is told from the perspective of 13-year-old Conor.

pilot version of its first prototype, on the way to a full scale demonstrator by 2024, rated at 100 megawatts — a size that fits the emerging trend for small modular reactors (SMR) sized for small communities or multiple SMR’s stacked for larger metropolitan areas.

It’s time for the U.S. to seriously get back into the game. There is no reason that we can’t have a winning energy policy here in the U.S. based on the energy’s total life-cycle costs or energy returned on investment (EROI).

Existing EROI from best to worst is: nuclear, hydro, coal, gas turbine, solar thermal, wind, biomass, and solar PV. It only makes sense to me to commit an investment in clean, safe, efficient advanced nuclear MSR technology with thorium as a fuel source.

Book talk

Books have been the sources and inspirations behind many movies through the years. In fact, many Academy Award films have been based on books. To quote a “Time” article, “In the beginning was the word. Later came the film. And now comes the fight over which is better.” Book enthusiasts and movie lovers are constantly debating which medium tells a better story.

Both have advantages and disadvantages and it depends on the individual movie or book and of course, personal preferences. Tomás González, reference staff, peruses library books available for check out that are screen worthy. Check out the book and compare the similarities and differences between the movie and book.

ing at the new venue and was extremely surprised and pleased. The RMAC room was the most filled I have seen in my seven years as a citizen. It demonstrates the renewed public interest in where our new leaders want to take us. We are blessed to have two visionary leaders in Mayor Dennis Kintigh and City Manager Steve Polasek.

I was extremely pleased to see the new approach by presenting department reports utilizing a power point format. It is significantly more informative.

Coupled by the professional presentations by Acting Fire Chief Devin Graham, and Parks and Recreation Director Tim Williams it was much easier for the attendees to follow.

It’s way past time that the city awakens from its 50-year slumber and plays catch-up with our neigh-

boring cities who have been busy building on their strengths. Roswell whines about being poor and makes excuses that we can’t do this or that when in fact it has been more a lack of will and leadership than anything else.

We have an awakened business community led by Trey Nesselrodt and Court Nichols who are stepping up with new ideas and their own money to improve our downtown and we should not stand in their way or find excuses to hinder their efforts.

Our new city hall management and several city councilors who are business owners are experienced in budgeting and money matters and they will not let the city do things that will put us at financial risk. We have a strong Finance Committee leader in Caleb Grant

The only condition is that the boy must also tell the story of his nightmares. When he shares his nightmare, Conor begins to confront his feelings, to accept his mother’s imminent death and the changes this will bring to his life. Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.

The book was inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd prior to her early death from cancer.

What’s happening?

This week’s story and craft hours for children feature a Polar Adventure on Wednesday and on Saturday the program will highlight things they might have seen on their adventure with stories about Fang, Tusks and Teeth. Children arriving within the first 15 minutes of the story portion of the programs are invited to participate in the related crafts.

All materials are provided for the craft sessions, but the quantities of some craft items may be limited. The stories may vary between programs.

Children of all ages are welcome at every program; however, the 10 a.m. Wednesday storytime focuses on children up to school age. The stories feature shorter materials and may include songs, rhymes and body

movement activities. The afternoon program at 3:30 p.m. focuses on elementary school age children with stories that are generally more complicated.

The books might feature “Little Polar Bear,” “If I Were a Polar Bear,” “10 Little Penguins,” “Penguin and the Cupcake,” “Polar Bears and Penguins,” or “Playful Little Penguins.”

The 2 p.m. Saturday program focuses on families with children of all ages.

The stories could include “The Night Before the Tooth Fairy,” “Bedtime Bugs,” “Teeth and Tusks,” “Hippo Goes Bananas” and “Tusk! Tusk!”

It’s no hoot: Oregon city to post signs about attacking owl SALEM, Ore. (AP) — MSNBC host Rachel Maddow inspired Oregon’s capital to post new warning signs in a park where four runners reported attacks from an angry owl likely defending its nest against perceived threats.

One jogger, a surgeon, said the owl hit him twice in Bush’s Pasture Park in Salem, and so hard he thought he was having a stroke or an aneurysm.

Another said the bird swiped his longtime running cap and nicked his scalp.

Maddow suggested on air last week that the city should post a vivid yellow warning sign using the iconic pedestrian stick figure bent forward at a run.

Above, claws extended, is a raptor.

Salem officials liked the idea.

Mark Becktel, parks and transportation services manager, said the

city secured rights to reproduce the sign and is posting 20 of them.

“It’s just making people aware that there’s an owl there that for whatever reason swoops down and goes after people’s hats,” he said.

Officials previously put up handbills with printed warnings that Maddow said weren’t strong enough.

Birders say the assailant is a barred owl, an aggressive bird that’s especially so during the current mating season.

They say it may calm down soon.

Much of the angry owl’s play in the press was in fun. The local paper, the Statesman Journal, had an online naming contest. “Owlcapone” got 238 votes, leading among 11 suggestions.

Coming in third, at 188 votes, was “Rachel Maddowl.”

Letters Dear editor, This Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry.

But meat-free Lent is much more than a symbol of religious devotion to Christ. It helps reduce the risk of chronic disease, environmental degradation, and animal abuse.

Dozens of medical reports have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. A 2007 U.N. report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Undercover investigations have documented farm ani-

who takes a great deal of “ownership” in his responsibilities but also sees the need to move the city forward. The prior model of “government moves slowly and inefficiently” is no longer acceptable and most of our Council leaders understand this.

With both the business community and the city working together they have the experience and capability to focus on more than one or two projects at a time and still be responsive to the community.

As a community, we need to develop a new “can do” attitude which matches our city management and Council. I firmly believe we are now poised on the cusp of a successful revitalization of our fine town and people must keep in mind that you can “either be part of the problem or part of the solu-

tion.” That’s not to say we can’t have differing opinions or approaches to the same problem but in the end we must pull together.

Finally, I’d like to bring to the attention of our citizens who may not be aware that Mayor Kintigh has been following up on his campaign pledge to clean up the city. Already 50 dilapidated buildings have been disposed of as well as south Main Street to the RIAC cleaned up.

Mr. Polasek has focused attention on cleaning, remodeling and painting both the interior and exterior of the main terminal and all the grounds at the RIAC. Roswell is truly moving into the 21st century and it’s is going to be a great ride.

It’s time for a perfect romantic evening with that special someone. Don’t let untreated hearing loss ruin the moment. Make sure you don’t miss a word, a nuance, or a whisper.

Keeping the spark in your relationship is important, and taking care of your hearing can have a major effect on your personal connections. In a study on the impact of hearing aids on the quality of life, conducted by the National Council on Aging, respondents reported a marked increase in the quality of their interactions with others, including their love life.

Grande shines as singer, falls short as dancer at halftime

NEW YORK (AP) — Ariana Grande’s NBA AllStar performance wasn’t a slam dunk, but more like a layup: It was good, but you won’t remember it tomorrow.

Grande’s 11-minute halftime set on Sunday highlighted the pop-star year the singer’s had on the charts: She sang the four Top 10 hits from her latest album, her current single and the song that transitioned her from TV actress to pop singer, 2013’s “The Way.” She shined vocally, per usual, with her mix of whispery coos and strong high notes. The 21-year-old entered the stage at Madison Square Garden dressed like a cheerleader, sporting a black-and-white mini skirt, crop top, heels and her signature pony tail.

She led with the upbeat, saxophone-laced “Problem,” which featured some of her

dancing, coming off a bit awkward and uncomfortable. During “Bang Bang,” Grande’s dancing was also uneven: When she attempted sexy, simple movement (including a slap to Nicki Minaj’s bottom), she looked as if she was doing something wrong — or bad. She kind of was.

On the latter song, Grande did receive a nice assist from the rapper, who also wore a crop top and skirt.

Grande was better when she slowed it down with the mid-tempo number, “Love Me Harder,” or when she walked across the stage while singing “The Way,” hitting all the right notes.

Grande wasn’t the only big-voiced singer at the AllStar Game: Christina Aguilera kicked off the show with a New York-themed performance, singing classics including Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York,”

Stevie Wonder’s “Livin’ In the City” and Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind.”

The Rockettes backed Aguilera, who rocked allblack and danced with

Warriors, Hawks on top; LeBron set to chase when NBA resumes

NEW YORK (AP) — LeBron James isn’t used to looking up at so many teams at the All-Star break.

The Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks occupy his former perch atop the standings, and Stephen Curry and Paul Millsap think that’s where their teams belong. The Western Conference is loaded as usual — so good that All-Star Game MVP Russell Westbrook wouldn’t even be in the playoffs if they started now.

There are three teams between the Hawks and fifth-place Cleveland in the East, putting James in the rare position of chaser.

He can’t wait to try.

“I’m excited. I’m excited what our team can accomplish,” he said. “We entered the break playing some really, really good basketball; winning 14 of our last 16. I’m going to take these next couple of days off and get back in the gym on Wednesday a little bit, go hard on Thursday and get ready to play Washington on Friday.”

The NBA has a lon-

ger midseason break than usual this season, with play not resuming until Friday. That gives Westbrook extra time to rest after pouring in 41 points Sunday in the West’s 163-158 victory at Madison Square Garden.

His Oklahoma City Thunder have overcome injuries to him and Kevin Durant to win three straight, but they are still just outside the West’s top eight. No such worries for the Warriors, who rolled into the break with a 42-9 record and an MVP candidate in Curry.

“It’s fun right now. We have a great team that has aspirations this year.

I think it’s something that we’re poised to go after,” Curry said.

“You want to just embrace the higher expectations that we put on ourselves and that are surrounding our team. We talk about what we’re trying to do this year. We want to back it up.”

It won’t be easy, with challenges throughout a rugged West where defending champion San Antonio

Neither is likely to catch the Hawks, who rode an undefeated January to a 43-11 record. Their balanced team play put four players in the All-Star Game, and in two months they can try to prove it would work in the postseason.

“I’m not going to look too far ahead,” Millsap said.

“We’re going to try to take care of the regular season first, but we feel like there’s still room for improvement.

We still feel like we haven’t played our best basketball.

It’s shocking to say, but we feel like we can still get better and still have a lot to work on.”

Flat-seam ball brings upswing in offense in college openers

UCLA hit just eight home runs in 2014, and it took until the 13th game for the Bruins to get their first. Three games into this season, they’ve hit five.

UCLA was not alone in drawing on a power surge that jolted college baseball during the season’s opening weekend. Weather and pitching, of course, are important variables, but the new flat-seam ball appears to be doing what was intended in a sport starved for offense.

Southeastern Conference teams accounted for 34 homers in 43 games compared with 18 in the first 43 games last year.

Florida and Georgia each hit six in three games, with Gators cleanup man Harrison Bader’s three homers surpassing his total of two in 44 games last season.

The Atlantic Coast Conference had 27 homers on the opening weekend, compared with 11 last year, and the Pac-12 had 20, compared with 10 in 2014.

The increases did not occur in the Big 12 and Big Ten. The Big 12, with 17 homers, and the Big Ten, with 14, each had one fewer than it did the first weekend of 2014.

Scoring was up by more than a run a game, according to D1Baseball.

com. Games averaged 11.52 runs this past weekend, compared with 10.4 on opening weekend last year.

The ball used this season is more like the one used at the professional level. Researchers found that the flat-seam ball could travel as much as 20 feet farther than the previous raised-seam ball.

A look around the nation:

Champs win 2 of 3: Defending national champion and top-ranked Vanderbilt won its series against Santa Barbara, with Ro Coleman’s bases-loaded infield grounder giving the Commodores a 6-5, 10-inning victory in the finale. All-American Carson Fulmer and freshman reliever Jordan Sheffield earned wins. Sheffield worked the last 3 2/3 innings of the series in temperatures that dropped into the 20s in Nashville.

Mighty Matuella: Projected high first-round draft pick Michael Matuella struck out eight in six shutout innings in Duke’s 7-1 road win over California. The 6-foot-7, 220-pounder didn’t pitch last summer because of injury. He struck out the

first four Cal batters.

Indiana wins rematch: It won’t make up for the stinging NCAA tournament loss to Stanford, but Indiana went on the road and won two of three against the Cardinal. The teams met three times in the Bloomington (Indiana) Regional last year, and Stanford won the final on a walk-off home run. It was a promising weekend for the Hoosiers, who lost their top three hitters and have a new coach in Chris Lemonis. Nick Ramos batted .429, Casey Rodrigue drove in four runs and Ryan Halstead had two saves after missing most of last season with a torn ACL. The guy’s a bulldog: Mississippi State’s Jacob Robson reached base in 16 of his first 17 plate appearances against Cincinnati and Miami (Ohio) and has a .765 on-base percentage through four games.

Grand opening: Chad De La Guerra, the 2014 Western Athletic Conference batting champion, led Grand Canyon to a 3-0 start with three home runs and 12 RBIs. His greatest output came Sunday in a 30-7 win over Bradley.

He went 5 for 6 with two homers, nine RBIs and five runs scored.

Keselowski still taking long road toward respect in NASCAR DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Brad Keselowski might as well sign up as the next celebrity target at a comedy roast.

His fellow NASCAR drivers already have plenty of practice hurling cutting barbs his way — just minus the rim shot.

Denny Hamlin on Keselowski’s rep: “Nobody wants to be Brad.”

Kyle Busch on who young drivers should emulate: “Don’t come in like Brad.”

For each blunt opinion Keselowski has about the state of NASCAR, drivers seem to have two or three zingers ready to fire right

back at Bad Brad. Not even winning the 2012 Sprint Cup championship earned Keselowski his proper place at the big boys’ table. He’s yet to earn as much respect in the garage as former champs Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.

Heck, Keselowski even took the rap for costing Gordon a shot at a fifth title when they tangled in an accident on a late restart at Texas.

Keselowski has accepted the black hat, better to stir reaction with an outspoken opinion or two than build a career as an irrelevant driver.

If he’s failed to gain many best friends in the sport, it’s a small price to pay for having the type of passion that energizes him to be among NASCAR’s best drivers.

“I know that when I have had whatever runins I have had throughout my career, I have had them because I have done the things that I feel like I need to do to be the best, and that is why I am in this sport,” Keselowski said.

“That is what drives me.”

Among his most outspoken moments: See NASCAR, Page B2

A-Rod reaches out to Headley TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Chase Headley says Alex Rodriguez has “reached out and introduced himself.”

Headley was signed to a $52 million, four-year contract by the Yankees, who plan to start him at third base and shift Rodriguez to designated hitter.

Returning from a season-long suspension for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract, the 39-year-old Rodriguez hopes to win back his old job at third

base. Headley said A-Rod contacted him shortly after he reached the agreement in mid-December.

“We didn’t talk about that,” Headley said Monday after working out at the Yankees’ minor league complex. “It was just more of an introduction. I think we both care about winning. That’s the most important thing and that’s what we talked about. That (other) stuff will sort itself out. I’m not going to concern myself with that. I’m

going to come out and try to do the best I can to do my job, and however that shakes out it will shake out.”

Headley was acquired from the San Diego Padres last July, then became a free agent before signing with the Yankees.

Rodriguez met with top Yankees officials last Tuesday and apologized to the team as he prepares to report to spring training ahead of the first full-squad workout on Feb. 26.

It’s the first time since 1984 the U.S. captures the top two steps in a women’s Alpine event. The second multipodium performance of the day goes to Shani Davis who takes the gold and Chad Hedrick who grabs bronze in men’s 1,000-meter speedskating.

Davis is the first U.S. male speedskater to successfully defend his Olympic title. Shaun White wins gold in the snowboard halfpipe to become the third American male to successfully defend an Olympic gold medal, joining Dick Button (figure skating, 1948 and 1952) and Davis.

2013 — Danica Patrick wins the Daytona 500 pole, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any Sprint Cup race.

2013 — Kevin Durant scores 30 points, MVP Chris Paul has 20 points and 15 assists, and the Western Conference beats the East 143-138 in the NBA All-Star game.

2014 — Meryl Davis and Charlie White win the gold medal in ice dance, the first Olympic title in the event for the United States.

Ernie Banks’ sons fight father’s will giving assets to agent CHICAGO (AP) — The twin sons of Ernie Banks asserted Monday that his agent and caretaker coerced the Chicago Cubs baseball great into signing a new will giving her all his assets.

In a statement released by their attorney, Jerry and Joey Banks said their father was ill at the time Regina Rice had him sign a power of attorney, a health care directive and a will giving everything to her.

“I find it quite interesting that she did not tell anyone that she had an attorney write up a new will,” Jerry Banks said.

Joey Banks said the family thought Rice was helping and watching over “Mr. Cub” while he was in Chicago.

Family attorney Mark Bogen said that only after the funeral did the Banks family become aware he had signed a new will during his

illness.

A provision of the will, signed and dated Oct. 17, says: “I am making no provisions under this will for wife or my children, not for a lack of love and affection for them and for reasons best known to them.”

Bogen said the family will vigorously fight the will.

Efforts to contact Rice and her attorney were unsuccessful.

Las Vegas Strip to dim lights for Jerry Tarkanian tribute LAS VEGAS (AP) — The lights of the Las Vegas Strip are expected to dim this week for deceased University of Nevada, Las Vegas basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian.

The uniquely Vegas tribute has honored Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy.

Tarkanian, credited with elevating Las Vegas to the national stage for college basketball, died Feb. 11 at age 84. His family hosted a private funeral service Monday at Our Lady of Las Vegas.

Most Strip casinos have agreed to dim their non-essential exterior bulbs for a few minutes starting at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in a tribute to the Hall of Fame coach. The moment’s timing is set to follow the end of a UNLV basketball home game against Boise State.

Casinos participating include all Caesars Entertainment Corp. and MGM Resorts properties on the Strip, The Cosmopolitan, Stratosphere, Tropicana and The Venetian and The Palazzo, according to the companies and the Las Vegas Convention and

Off-Strip resorts including the Hard Rock Hotel and South Point casino also will join in, along with locals-only Station Casinos and the digital canopy above Fremont Street.

It might not have happened had it not been for a social media push by a pair of UNLV alumni, Tony Cordasco and Scott Gulbransen.

The friends set up a Twitter account and Facebook page asking casinos to honor Coach Tark. It received such a groundswell of attention that local media picked up the story, adding momentum to their push.

Both said Tarkanian deserved the fitting tribute reserved for a select crowd of influential figures, entertainers and an annual “Earth Hour” tribute.

“It will show people around the world what Las Vegas does for its own,” Gulbransen said.

“This is our ticker-tape parade,” Cordasco said.

ously likes attention or he wouldn’t say things like that.”

Even Keselowski’s detractors can’t deny his talent. He’s coming off a career-best six wins with 17 top-fives driving the No. 2 Ford for Team Penske.

“I feel like I am a topthree driver in the Sprint Cup series,” Keselowski said.

He mentioned reigning series champion Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards as the other two drivers in the gold-silver-bronze class.

Keselowski and Edwards feuded for a couple of seasons after they took turns wrecking each other in a March 2010 race at Atlanta. But as one feud faded, another emerged.

Gordon was in position at Texas for an automatic spot in the championship round, racing for the lead on a late restart. His chances ended when Keselowski squeezed between him and Johnson, creating contact that sent Gordon spinning into the wall with a flat tire.

Gordon finished 29th and confronted Keselowski in the pits, leading to a melee between their teams.

Gordon seethed because he already knew what the rest of the sport would learn months later — he was ready to call it quits and a sure victory that would have guaranteed him a spot in the finale was gone.

It was one of the rare times Keselowski took personal offense to criticism.

“What bothered me the most were people that felt I cost Jeff a championship

Brad Keselowski adjusts his helmet before getting in his car during a practice session for the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Daytona International Speedway, Saturday, in Daytona Beach, Fla. last year because I didn’t feel that way at all,” Keselowski said. “I felt like those were people that got caught up in the rhetoric and were just trying to use a line to get readers or clicks or viewers or whatever it is.

That bothered me a little bit. I didn’t lose sleep over it, though.”

Gordon has mellowed, saying a pit road speeding penalty at Martinsville was more to blame for missing the championship round than Keselowski’s accident.

“That was just racing hard,” Gordon said. “I don’t think he really did anything wrong. It’s just the outcome was bad because I got a flat tire and it cost me making it into the final race. I’m just going to race the heck out of him and whatever happens, happens.”

family members frequently spoke to Rice because she made it difficult for them to speak directly to him, Jerry Banks said.

“At the funeral of my father, I went out of my way to praise Ms. Rice and her son for helping my father.”

Joey Banks said. “What I did not know at that time is that for at least six months prior to my father’s death, in my opinion, she was using him, manipulating

him and controlled him.”

The brothers’ comments are their first in a dispute that first centered on what should be done with Ernie Banks’ remains. Estranged wife Elizabeth Banks went to court to prevent Rice from having Banks’ remains cremated.

Rice wanted Banks’ remains to be cremated after his death last month at the age of 83, according to documents filed by Eliz-

abeth Banks’ attorneys on Feb. 2.

Attorney Howard Golden says Elizabeth Banks has thus far prevented the body from being cremated.

But it was unclear where exactly the body was taken, with officials of Graceland Cemetery, just blocks from Wrigley Field, saying he wasn’t buried there. The funeral home that handled the Banks memorial says it doesn’t have his body.

Dogs ready to have their day, nights, at Westminster NEW YORK (AP) — “Let me have the ...”

With those words, or perhaps with a simple point of the judge’s finger, a new top dog in America will be picked this week.

The Westminster Kennel Club show started Monday morning and, to the owners of the 2,711 pooches set to take part, it’s the Super Bowl, World Series and Daytona 500 of dogdom in the United States, one giant bark in the park.

Plenty of pugs, poodles and pointers, all popular pets. A total of 192 breeds and varieties, including a few not so familiar. Yep, that’s a xoloitzcuintli.

The big honor? Best in show, to be chosen Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The reward? Zero prize money.

But there’s rich breeding potential, plus a lifetime of prestige — Uno the baying beagle left his paw prints forever in Westminster lore.

Sky the wire fox terrier won last year and is retired. Time for someone else to step up, and maybe follow her by stepping into the silver bowl trophy, too.

Here are things to know about Westminster:

The favorites:

Las Vegas odds maker John Avello lists — for fun, not for betting — a Portuguese water dog as the 4-1 favorite. A solid choice, seeing how Matisse the Portie is among the top-winning show dogs of all time. And he’s a cousin to Sunny, President Barack Obama’s pet. Swagger the old English sheepdog finished second in 2013 and Nathan the bloodhound is definitely in the mix. Looking for long shots? Try a Norwegian lundehund or a white bull terrier, because there’s only one of each kind entered.

HIS HONOR: Retired California trial court judge David Merriam will choose the winner. He’s prominent in the dog world, but has never judged a best in show. So there’s no real book on him — does he like terriers or hounds, big dogs or little ones? He won’t get to form an early opinion, either. As per Westminster protocol, he’ll stay away

Hoop let the dogs out:

The NBA All-Star Game finished up Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, just in time for Westminster to move in. “We the opening act for the dog show,” New York Knicks scorer Carmelo Anthony kidded. On Saturday night, the All-Star festivities were in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center — that’s Bark-lays, in dog talk. Jim Brogan knows about both pursuits.

In the early 1980s, he played in the NBA with Bill Walton on the San Diego Clippers. Brogan went to the same high school that later produced Kobe Bryant and now is a motivational speaker and youth camp leader. His wife, CJ Thornberry-Brogan, breeds and shows cavalier King Charles spaniels. Sometimes she needs him to fill in as handler. “I get more nervous in the ring than I did taking Magic Johnson into the low post and trying to dunk over him,” Brogan said.

Good sports:

Boston Red Sox catcher Ryan Hanigan entered an Australian shepherd that won the breed last February. Former All-Star reliever and current MLB Network analyst Dan Ple-

sac was covering as a correspondent. New York Jets defensive back Darrin Walls also is expected to attend. The most famous athlete with a dog at Westminster was Lou Gehrig, the Yankees Hall of Famer whose German shepherd fared well in 1933.

Dashin’ and fashion:

A few blocks from where the dogs walk, there’s the catwalk: It’s Fashion Week in New York. Fittingly, a lot of thought goes into what people wear into the ring. The dog is supposed to be the star, so handlers try to avoid outfits that draw attention. Wild patterns, glittery accessories and free-flowing clothes are no-nos. Watch twotime Westminster winner Michelle Scott (her husband handles Matisse, by the way) — neatly tailored, solid colors, nothing outlandish, no scrambling around.

A-pier here:

The best-of-breed judging is during the day at Piers 92 and 94, the exhibition spaces that jut into the Hudson River. Group winners — terrier, hound, toy, working, herding, sporting and nonsporting — are picked at night at the Garden. CNBC televises Monday evening, the USA Network does Tuesday. There are two new breeds this year, the coton de Tulear and the wirehaired vizsla.

The ports are a critical trade link with Asia and the gateway not just for imports such as electronics, household goods and clothing but also U.S. exports including produce and meat.

Starting Saturday, companies locked out workers who would load or unload ships, saying they would not pay weekend or holiday wage premiums to crews they accuse of intentionally slowing work to gain bargaining leverage.

As federal railway and hazardous materials officials were heading to the scene, the company said it’s still investigating what caused the train to come off the tracks.

MOUNT CARBON, W.Va. (AP) — A train carrying more than 100 tankers of crude oil derailed in southern West Virginia on Monday, sending at least one into the Kanawha River, igniting at least 14 tankers and sparking a house fire, officials said.

One person was being treated for potential inhalation issues, but no other injuries were reported, according to a news release from CSX, the train company. Nearby residents were told to evacuate as state emergency response and environmental officials headed to the scene about 30 miles southeast of Charleston.

The rail company said it’s still sorting out many specifics in its response.

“CSX teams also are working with first responders to address the fire, to determine how many rail cars derailed, and to deploy environmental protective and monitoring measures on land, air and in the nearby Kanawha River,” CSX spokesman Gary Sease said in a news release.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European creditors issued Greece with an ultimatum Monday, saying the country must accept a key condition in bailout talks by the end of the week or face having to meet its debt commitments on its own — a prospect that many in the financial markets think would leave Greece little option but to leave the euro.

After a meeting of the 19 finance ministers of the eurozone over how to make Greece’s debts sustainable broke down in seeming-acrimony after barely more than three hours, Greece was told it has to ask for an extension to its bailout program before further negotiations on the country’s future financing and economic course can take place.

“We simply need more time and the best way for that at this point is extend the current program which would allow a number of months for us to work on future arrangements,” said Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the head of the so-called eurogroup.

Without some sort of financing arrangements in place after the current bailout ends after Feb. 28, Greece would face real difficulties meeting its obligations, such as debt repayments, over the coming months. Bankruptcy and a potential exit from the euro would loom for Greece once again.

That’s why investors grew increasingly concerned Monday that a deal may not emerge in time to avoid a so-called “Grexit” from the euro — the main stock market in Greece fell 3.8 percent while the euro slipped.

Investors are worried that the two sides are poles apart especially as a cornerstone of the election campaign of Greece’s new left-wing government was to scrap the bailout program. In return for 240 billion euros ($275 billion) of rescue money from 2010 onwards, successive Greek governments have had to implement a wide array of austerity measures such as deep cuts to spending and pensions.

Greece’s Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis arrives for an Eurogroup meeting at the EU Council building in Brussels on Monday.

The new Syriza government, in power for barely three weeks, blames those measures for the country’s economic ills — the Greek economy is around a quarter smaller than in 2008, despite a recent modest return to growth while unemployment and poverty have swelled.

“It would be an act of subterfuge to promise to our partners to complete successfully a program we challenged the logic of,” Greece’s finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, said.

And despite the talk of deadlines, Varoufakis insisted a deal between the two sides was achievable and that visible progress could still be made within the next 48 hours despite Monday’s swift breakdown in discussions.

“We are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to reach an agreement over the next two days,” he said.

“Europe will do the usual trick: It will pull a good agreement or an honorable agreement out of what seems to be an impasse ....

I have no doubt that, within the next 48 hours Europe is going to come together and find phrasing that is necessary so we can submit it and move on to do the real work that is necessary.”

For all his talk about deadlines, Dijsselbloem also said there was scope for compromise provided the Greek government commits to the broad outlines of the current program, such as maintaining tight budgetary discipline.

He added that he thought it was “still feasible” that Athens would ask for an extension.

“The request for an extension only commits to one thing: that you keep to the broad lines of the program,” he said.

However, his suggestion that there was “some flexibility” built in the bailout program met with a fair degree of ambivalence from Varoufakis, who said it was a “nebulous” turn of phrase.

Varoufakis said he had been “perfectly happy to sign there and then” a plan proposed by Pierre Moscovici, the European Commission’s monetary and economic affairs official. Details of the plan were sketchy but did apparently involve Athens putting on hold its anti-austerity measures in return for loans and the start of a 6-month negotiation to a future financial arrangement.

“We were offering to refrain from implementing our program for six months and all we were getting back was a nebulous promise of some flexibility that wasn’t specified,” Varoufakis said.

Malta’s finance minister, Edward Scicluna, worried about the implications of a failure by Athens to request an extension: “Then we won’t meet. There won’t be anything. It will be a disaster.”

Ralph Leroy Young

Ralph Leroy Young passed Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015, after being diagnosed with cancer. He fought a painful battle for many years, surrounded by the love of his family.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Lenna Young; an infant son, Gary Young; one brother, Charles Young; both parents and grandparents, and a sister.

Surviving Ralph is his wife, Faye Ofelia of Roswell; two sons: Robert Young of Roswell, and Ralph (Jean) Young II of Des Moines, Iowa.; three step-children: Miracle, Joliza, and Jay Wesley Henke III, all of Roswell; five grandchildren: Dennis of Roswell, Melissa, Adam, Brandie, and Crystal of Des Moines, Iowa; two step-grandchildren: Matthew and Kayla Henke-Lujan, of Roswell.

There will be a prayer service for Ralph Leroy Young, Sr. at Christ’s Church, Wednesday, February 18, 2015, at 2:00 PM. The service will be officiated

by Lonnie Owens and Jerry Chavez of Christ’s Church.

We were so very blessed to have Ralph in our lives.

A poem for our beloved Ralph: Ralph Leroy Young, you were the greatest gift of my life. I don’t recall the first

time you held me, or when I first fell in love with you.

But from the first moment you held me in your arms, “you” made the most selfless choice. You chose to change your life, so that my life could begin. You were my shelter from the rain, on you I could depend. You held my hand when I was afraid, and helped to mend my broken heart. You bandaged my wounds, wiped my tears, and kept me from falling apart. You loved me without question, no matter what happened. You shaped me into a confident person, from such a lonely and sad person, that I was.

Even though you are not always right beside me, your love is matched by no other, and I thank God every day for the greatest gift you could’ve given me: Loving me ‘til the end. I will always love you and hold you in my heart. It’s not goodbye; it’s “I’ll see you later” (my love).

Love, Faye, Miracle, Joliza, and your son Jay W. Henke.

I’ll see you later daddy.

Mary Joyce Dickinson, 81, passed away Friday, Feb. 13, 2015, in her home surrounded by the love of her family. She was born Jan. 28, 1934, in Grayback, Texas, to parents Charles Vaude Puckett and Grace Geneva Bunton. On Dec. 2, 1948, Mary married her beloved husband, Robert Lee Dickinson.

A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Mary filled her family’s life with joy and happiness.

cannot or choose not to be immunized.

“I think at the end of the day, the most important principle to protect is the right to make an informed voluntary decision, and that includes teachers,” she said.

At Vista Murrieta High School in California’s Riverside County, a middle class community between Los Angeles and San Diego, all teachers and staff who had been exposed to the measles were able to return to work within one to three days. Teachers who were born before 1957 were immediately excused, assuming they either had gotten measles as a child or been exposed to the disease.

Kathy Ericson, president of the Murrieta Teachers Association, said the instructors were willing to do “whatever needs to be done” to protect students.

But she stopped short of saying whether vaccination or proof of immunization should be required for employment.

“Most of us don’t have our shot records,” she said.

“It would be a hard thing to go back and prove.”

Several parents with students in Murrieta Valley schools said they believed it was important for teachers to show proof of immunity or get vaccinated to protect their children and others too young or vulnerable to get the vaccines themselves.

“It is everyone’s responsibility to keep students healthy and safe,” said Sherrie Zettlemoyer, the mother of two elementary-school students. “I believe if you can be vaccinated you should.”

STOCKPORT, Ohio (AP) — Sixth-grader Kayla Hunter considers herself pretty tech savvy. She has a computer at home unlike about half her classmates at her elementary school. And it matches up well with the one she’ll use this week to take a new test linked to the Common Core standards.

Still, the perky 11-yearold worries. During a recent practice exam at her school in Ohio, she couldn’t even log on. “It wouldn’t let me,” she said. “It kept saying it wasn’t right, and it just kept loading the whole time.”

Her state on Tuesday will be the first to administer one of two tests in English language arts and math based on the Common Core standards developed by two separate groups of states.

By the end of the school year, about 12 million children in 29 states and the District of Columbia will take them, using computers or electronic tablets.

The exams are expected to be more difficult than the traditional spring standardized state exams they replace. In some states, they’ll require hours of additional testing time because students will have to do more than just fill in the bubble. The goal is to test students on critical thinking skills, requiring them to describe their reasoning and solve problems.

The tests have multimedia components, written essays and multi-step calculations needed to solve math problems that go beyond just using rote memory. Students in some states will take adaptive versions in which questions get harder or easier depending on their answers.

But there’s been controversy.

The tests have been caught up in the debate playing out in state legislatures across the country about the federal role in education. Although more

than 40 states have adopted Common Core, which spells out what reading and math skills students should master in each grade, several have decided not to offer the tests — known as the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. Some states are introducing other new state standardized tests this year.

The Common Core tests fulfill the requirement in the federal No Child Left Behind law for annual testing in reading and math in grades three to eight and again in high school. But as Congress seeks to rewrite the education law, there’s debate over whether the tests should be required by Washington, and whether students are being tested too much. Parents in pockets of the country have joined a movement to “opt out” of these standardized tests.

Questions also have been raised about students’ keyboarding skills and schools’ computer capacities.

In the Appalachian foothills where Kayla attends Morgan South Elementary School, administrators and teachers worry that they don’t have the bandwidth to provide reliable Internet connectivity on testing day. Both tests offer a paper option. PARCC officials anticipate that about a quarter of students will use the paper version; Smarter Balanced officials estimate roughly 10 to 20 percent will take it on paper.

Just eight days before the test, the Morgan Local School District in rural southeastern Ohio ordered 200 more Chromebooks, which worked best during the practice run.

The week before the test, Kayla and her classmates huddled in pairs sharing what devices were available at the school. “They’ll be more comfortable with the

Amid measles outbreak, few Testing based on Common rules on teacher vaccinations Core standards starts this week

LOS ANGELES (AP) — While much of the attention in the ongoing measles outbreak has focused on student vaccination requirements and exemptions, less attention has been paid to another group in the nation’s classrooms: Teachers and staff members, who, by and large, are not required to be vaccinated.

In most states, there is no law dictating which vaccines teachers and school staff workers are required to get. Some states provide a list of recommended vaccines, but there is no requirement or follow-up for teachers to receive them.

So when a measles case surfaced at a California high school, it was easy for officials to review student records, but there were no immunization records on file for employees.

That meant all 24 teachers and staff exposed to the employee with measles had to prove their immunity — records that, for most, were decades old.

The issue has surfaced from time to time in state legislatures and is likely to be raised again in response to the latest outbreak, which originated at Disneyland in December and has spread to a half dozen states and Mexico. Most of those who fell ill were not vaccinated. As of Friday, public health officials said 114 people had contracted measles.

“I was definitely shocked,” Rep. Joanna Cole, a Democrat in the Vermont Legislature, said when she learned in 2012 that there were no teacher vaccination requirements in her state. There are still no requirements today. “I guess we all just assumed that they would have them.”

Cole and other legislators and parents across the U.S. believe the blanket presumption that teach-

ers are up to date on their vaccines should be re-examined. They note that most of those sickened in the current outbreak are adults, and that schools are one of the top places for the spread of communicable disease.

“I will be surprised if we don’t see some changes in the next year to year and a half,” said Kristen Amundson, executive director of the National Association of School Boards of Education.

Already, some states are considering measles legislation. In Vermont, Democratic Rep. George Till says legislators will try this year to eliminate philosophical exemptions for students and require that teachers be up to date on the same vaccines students must receive.

“If we’re trying to limit the spread in school, why just students?” Till said. A similar bill he introduced in 2012 was defeated amid strong opposition from anti-vaccine groups, and he expects another battle.

In Colorado, pro-vaccination groups have been pushing the Department of Human Services to require vaccinations for workers at child care facilities, another area with uneven employee immunization standards. Measles cases have been confirmed at day care facilities in Chicago and Santa Monica, California.

Barbara Loe Fisher, director of the National Vaccine Information Center, a Virginia-based nonprofit that favors letting parents decide whether to vaccinate, said the discussion on vaccination requirements has started to expand from schoolchildren to certain adult professions. She said her organization has a number of concerns about requiring teacher vaccinations, including safety and job protection for those who

technology, but it is a worry of mine that, as far as the content that’s on it, there’s still stuff I could be doing to prepare for the test,” says their teacher, Carrie Young.

Eleven-year-old Colton Kidd says the screens on the Chromebooks are too small. Classmate Josie Jackson, 12, prefers pencil and paper. But Liam Montgomery likes computerized tests: “It’s easier to get the answers down, because I don’t have to flip back and forth.”

In some places, school administrators and state leaders are only grudgingly moving forward.

Referencing federal law, Illinois State Board of Education officials threatened to withhold funds from any district that didn’t administer the PARCC exam. Chicago Public Schools officials cited technology concerns in announcing they won’t give the exam in a majority of its schools.

Trisha Kocanda, superintendent of the Winnetka Public Schools in Illinois, told parents that she’s concerned about the length of the tests and the “excessive rigor.”

“We grow wary,” Kocanda said, adding, that they believe “this test continues the over-emphasis on standardized assessments as evaluation tools for students and schools.”

NOT READY FOR A CLOSE-UP

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: Do you know why people nowadays feel the need to announce their pregnancies via ultrasound pictures? I'm sorry, but I really don't want to see all that. I guess some folks think the image of a blurry, black-and-white fetus is "darling." But to me, all I see is an up-close-and-personal snapshot of a stranger's uterus. Even if we're best friends, I don't need all that detail. TMI, right?

I really wish people would deliver this kind of news face-toface. Or call me, text me, whatever. It serves the same purpose

DEAR NOT READY: If seeing a sonogram is "TMI" for your sensibilities, all you need to do is scroll past it.

It's not as if you're being forced to view the fetus. Being able to see the product they're manufacturing pre-delivery helps many couples to bond with their babies, and when people are happy, they often want to share their joy. So loosen up and let them.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. Prior to that, we dated for seven. (We met when we were teenagers.)

My problem is, my mother-inlaw still misspells my name, which is Sara. After all these years, she still adds an "h" to the end of my name, regardless of how many times my husband has pointed out the correct spelling.

I don't know why this is an issue, because we send her

Comics cards on all the holidays, her birthday, etc., with my name spelled correctly. How should I approach this with her?

SIMPLY SARA IN ARIZONA DEAR SIMPLY SARA: If the two of you get along well, just smile and ask her why she can't get the spelling of your name right. Then listen. However, if there is tension in your relationship, recognize that this may be a form of passive aggression, that confronting her will make her defensive, and she will find some other way to needle you.

P.S. Another thought. Tell her you've changed the spelling of your name to "Sarah" and she may drop the "h"!

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My best friend is dying from lung cancer, which I think has traveled to her brain. I am heartbroken over this. My question is, she seems different now -- angry. She jumped on me when we were talking about her disease. Should I just leave her

STANDING BY IN TEXAS DEAR STANDING BY: Your friend may indeed be angry, and she has a right to be. She may also be very scared. Continue to stand by her because she will need your support and understanding in the months to come.

A diagnosis of metastasized cancer can make someone feel alone and isolated. If she wants to talk about her prognosis, be prepared to listen. If she is too ill to get out of the house, bring the news about what is going on in her circle of friends to her. (Gossip can be distracting.) Do NOT offer advice unless you are asked for it. And if she has a bad day, try to be understanding and forgiving.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: My wife and I enjoy reading your column in the San Antonio Express-News. To avoid potential burglaries, folks who program their cars to open garage doors should ensure that the DOOR CODES are removed before the cars are traded, sold or donated. Instructions for removing the codes usually can be found in user manuals.

Milton Bell, Live Oak, Texas Dear Heloise: Another caution for discarding unwanted junk mail and magazines/catalogs: Tear off and shred the address-label page, then remove and shred the order form inside the catalogs!

Chris C. in Florida Good reminder, Chris. Let's really think about this. There is not much information other than a name and address, plus the expiration date, on that label. I don't think thieves can really do much -- well, maybe sign you up for a subscription!

Heloise

Dilbert

For Better or For Worse

HHHHH

Dear Heloise: I wear rubber gloves when washing dishes. The other day, my hands kept getting stuck when I tried to put the gloves on. I remembered the small box of baking soda under the sink that I use for cleaning, and sprinkled a small amount in each glove. No more sticking!

Anne W. in Indiana A handy (no pun intended) hint indeed! There are so many hints for using baking soda, and you discovered a great one! I have many more hints for using and cooking with baking soda in my Heloise's Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet, which you can receive by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope (70 cents) to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Freshen up a stinky mop by soaking it in a mixture of baking soda (4 tablespoons) and water (1 quart). Let soak for a couple of hours, then rinse well.

HHHHH

Dear Heloise: Please warn your readers about the importance of knowing the difference between a power strip and a surge protector.

A power strip provides more electrical outlets to plug electronics into.

A surge protector does the same, while also protecting those devices from a voltage spike. Surge protectors are especially important during big storms with lightning, which can cause power outages.

Hope this helps!

Jordan in San Antonio

A simple way to protect your electronic equipment. Why not take a little walk around your home now and see how many you are using.

Then see if it's time for an upgrade.

This is a great hint! It can save you thousands of dollars by protecting your electronic equipment.

Heloise

HHHHH

Dear Heloise: My mother was having a hard time pushing in her chair due to the carpet in my dining room. We thought of the furniture sliders that stores use to move major pieces of furniture.

Before Mom comes for a meal, we put small ones under her chair legs, and it is so easy for her to move her chair, with no damage to the carpet.
