Legislature approves budget as adjournment nears

SANTA FE (AP) — The Legislature wrapped up work Wednesday on a must-do state budget proposal as the 30-day session neared an end.

Lawmakers are scheduled to adjour n at noon Thursday.

The budget cleared its final legislative hurdle when it passed the House on a 58-8 vote. The spending plan goes to Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, who has described it as a compromise with lawmakers.

“There is something in this budget for everyone,”

said Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, a Santa Fe Democrat. “This is an initiative that will move New Mexico forward and put us on a path to recovery as well as a path for economic success in New Mexico.”

As the legislative session entered its final stretch, several high-profile measures remained pending, including two measures to pay for $400 million in capital improvements across the state.

Also unresolved was a proposal to require counties to contribute $26 mil-

lion a year to a program helping mostly rural hospitals provide health care to poor New Mexicans.

Throughout the session, there has been a dispute over how much taxing authority to give counties to cover their share of the program.

State and county revenue will be used to match federal dollars, potentially generating $150 million for health care to people unable to pay for medical services.

The Senate approved the budget bill on Tuesday.

The budget would increase state spending by 5 percent, or $293 million, next year. It provides $2.7 billion for public education — about a 6.6 percent increase over this year’s spending.

Several House Republicans complained that the proposed spending increase was too great and that the budget used all available revenue.

“We have nothing left for job initiatives or anything like that,” said Rep. Larry Larranaga, an Albuquerque Republican.

Traces of radiation detected near WIPP ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Four days after a radiation alert shut the nation’s only underground nuclear waste repository, an independent monitoring center said Wednesday it found radioactive isotopes in an air sensor about a half mile from the southeastern New Mexico plant.

A filter from a monitor northwest of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad had trace amounts of americium and plutonium, said Russell Hardy, director of the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center.

The levels are the highest ever detected at or around the site, but are far below those deemed unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency, he said.

The readings come on the heels of a radiation alert that closed the plant to all

non-essential personnel last weekend after an underground sensor detected airborne radiation. Department of Energy officials say most operations remain closed, but they have not released any further information.

Two weeks earlier, a truck hauling salt in an underground mine at the site caught fire, shuttering operations for a few days. Officials said that fire was in an area separate from where nuclear waste is stored. In both instances the DOE has said public safety has not been threatened.

Hardy said his center, an arm of New Mexico State University that monitors air, ground and water samples from in and around WIPP, didn’t get the filters from the underground radiation sensor that was activated Saturday until Tuesday.

Minimum wage prop Theft of signs creates havoc for candidates fails in state House

SANTA FE (AP) — A proposal that would let voters decide whether to boost the state’s minimum wage beginning next year failed to garner enough support despite hours of debate Wednesday night that centered on New Mexico’s working poor.

The proposed constitutional amendment needed the support of 36 House members to make it onto the ballot next November. The vote came up short at 3329, with lawmakers voting mostly along party lines.

The measure was a top priority for Democrats during this 30-day session, which ends Thursday. They said a wage hike would help tens of thousands of workers and would move New Mexico another step toward closing the income-equality gap and improving the out-

come for children.

“We don’t want families to have to go get food stamps.

We don’t want families to have to get on welfare,” said Rep. Bill McCamley, DMesilla Park. “If we pay them a living wage and make sure that wage raises itself every year to balance out the cost of inflation, we are rewarding those people who want to go get a job.”

Opponents said the state constitution was not the right place to address the minimum wage and that Democrats were politicizing the issue by pursuing an amendment rather than legislation that would not require voters to weigh in.

Opponents were also concerned that a higher wage could force businesses to trim their workforce and could lead to higher prices for goods and services.

Thieves and pranksters apparently have called an open season on campaign signs across much of the city as municipal candidates continue to notice placards missing, damaged or moved.

“We’ve probably lost about 100 signs — about 100 signs have been stolen,” said Mayor Del Jurney. “Absolutely, it’s a lot of money. It definitely is.”

Candidates from nearly every ward reported signs missing, damaged or taken by a prankster in the past few weeks.

“If everybody is losing signs equally or proportionally, then we’re all suffering equally,” Jur ney said. “I don’t recall it happening four years ago.

Similar pranks have occurred the past two weekends.

“The biggest irritation, I would say, is for the volunteers who go out to put them up,” Kintigh said.

“People who make donations out of their pockets to buy them, it really hurts more than the candidate — regardless of who the candidate is.”

Candidate Caleb Grant was able to collect 80 of his signs taken in the pranks, he said.

Even if Jurney found his before the election, it wouldn’t be enough time to put them back up, he said.

“The signs are an important part of a campaign,” Jurney said.

Mayoral candidate Dennis Kintigh had lost “maybe 20” yard signs and two to three larger signs that he knew of, he said.

Kintigh had many more taken, as did several other candidates, but his campaign spent the past two weekends retrieving them.

On at least two occasions, high-school students had collected up to 120 yard signs from across the northern part of town and filled a yard with the colorful display.

Candidates have been called out to collect the signs the next day.

Navy pilot training migrates to Roswell RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Young pilot trainees from the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps are currently in Roswell, taking advantage of the clear skies above the Roswell International Air Center.

Lt. Col. Pete Blades, USMC, is the commanding officer for the 1st TW5 T-6B Detachment to Roswell, a training detachment out of Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Fla. He said the training has relocated to Southeastern New Mexico for nine weeks so the pilots can get more time flying during their primary pilot training. The third and final group of pilot trainees are scheduled to arrive later this week and the detachment will head back to Florida in mid-March.

“This is an experiment to see if we can be better stewards of the government’s money,” Blades said. “When the weather is bad, we can’t fly, so the question is whether or not it is more economical to be out here flying or back in Florida looking at the skies, wanting to fly.”

Blades said the trip to Roswell was inspired by the Blue Angels, who train in El Centro, Calif., and on a pre-

vious training detachment to Las Cruces.

“Since we’ve been here, we had a little problem with the ice that first week, but otherwise the weather has been perfect.”

Blades said although this is the first time his squadron has come to Roswell, if the training proves to be cost effective, it won’t be the last time the training squads will land here.

“It’s all about the weather,” Blades said. The pilots train in aerobatic flying and formation flying during the primary training phase, and they have to be able to see the planes they are flying with. No visibility means no flying, which prolongs the training cycle.

The pilots fly a T -6B Texan turboprop trainer,

under the watchful eye of their instructors, and garner about 20 hours of flight time during this phase of their training.

Most of the student pilots come to the training straight from Officer Candidate School, the Naval Academy, or ROTC programs, and have been in the service for less than a year, said Ensign Daniel Seals, USN. Pilots in the Primary Training program have already completed their Introductory Flight School and Aviation Preflight Indoctrination training, Seals said.

“IFS is similar to private pilot training that a civilian would take, learning to fly a Cessna,” Seals said. “API is a ground school where you learn mechanics, aerody-

namics, and instrumentation.”

The primary training is the last phase before the student pilots move on to advanced flight training in helicopter, multi-engine propeller or tailhook aircraft.

Selection for advanced training is based in part on the desire of the trainee and on the needs of the service.

Pilot trainee Ensign Travis Edmond says he hopes to go on to pilot the P-3 Orion or the P-8A Poseidon, the “Big Boys” of aviation.

“I always wanted to fly, and I wanted to fly with the best,” Edmond said, explaining why he chose the Navy.

“If you can make it as a Naval aviator, then you can fly anything.”

Seals and Edmond said they both have enjoyed the hospitality of the people of Roswell.

“It’s been really great here,” Seals said. “Besides the great weather, I’ve enjoyed the friendly people and small-town feeling here.”

Edmond said he enjoyed visiting Carlsbad Caverns as well as seeing the Roswell sights, including the city’s museums.

“Everyone has been very helpful, and it’s been an enjoyable experience,” Blades said.

over about four different nights. It’s just the time getting them all and putting them back up.”

Caleb also has lost some of his larger 4-foot by 4-foot signs that were torn down.

Councilor Art Sandoval had noticed some of his signs disappearing. He got a call that about 10 of his yard signs were found in the Dexter area, he said.

“It’s really not a good prank anymore. It’s getting kind of old,” Sandoval said.

“Signs are expensive.”

In Ward 1, Dusty Huckabee and Natasha N. Mackey have had signs damaged.

Huckabee and his wife, Heidi, arrived home from a trip Sunday to find several of his signs slashed in half

along College Boulevard.

Huckabee reported the damage to police.

When he first saw the damage, it nearly brought him to tears, Heidi Huckabee said. He walked up and down the street the next day with duct tape.

Then, Wednesday evening, the signs were sliced apart again.

“Dusty doesn’t have enough money to keep buying more signs,” Heidi Huckabee said. “Dusty went through and ducttaped all the signs. It’s just frustrating and I’m mad.”

Huckabee has also lost 17 signs, his wife said.

“They’ve disappeared,” she said. “I hope to God it’s kids. If it’s a kid, they don’t know any better. How dare anybody come and do that to us. It’s disheartening.”

The police report was amended to include

Wednesday’s damages, Heidi said. Each sign costs about $20 with time and labor, she said.

Huckabee’s opponent, Mackey, said she’s also had about 20 signs disappear.

“They’re either missing or damaged,” Mackey said. “A big sign was stolen of f somebody’s fence. It’s a huge 4-by-4. What they’ve told me is the big signs are good for target practice.”

The larger signs cost $15, but it adds up, Mackey said.

Councilor Barry Foster and candidate Tabitha Denny said they hadn’t had many signs taken. Denny’s large signs are on Main Street, so that helped, she said.

Foster estimated he had 10 missing signs.

“I have had a couple of signs go missing, but nothing to the degree of a hun-

dred or such,” Foster said.

“Some is the wind and some is people taking them down. But the signs cost a lot. That’s where most of our money is spent, is on signs.”

Daniel Gladu, 31, is wanted for embezzlement. The incident occurred on Jan. 26, on the 2000 block of North Main Street. Through the course of the investigation, an officer obtained sufficient probable cause and secured an arrest warrant for Gladu. He is described as being 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 220 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. Anyone with information about Gladu’s location is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 888-594TIPS (8477). Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward.

Toddler taken to hospital after being struck by car A toddler was struck by a car Saturday after noon, according to Roswell Police.

The accident happened on the 1600 block of North Kansas Street. The driver was dropping off the mother and child, and the child got behind the vehicle as it was backing up.

The 1-year-old child was bumped by the car, but was injured when he fell, according to police. The child was taken to the hospital.

No charges were filed against the driver. However, he was arrested on a separate charge, according to police.

Local Scouter Mossman receives Silver Beaver award Roswell Daily Record

effect July 1.

“This morning, they announced there was going to be eight bills heard. Mine was the eighth one,” Wooley said. “I got very fortunate.”

Wooley said he was elated with the Senate’s move to pass the measure.

“This is going to mean a lot of jobs for the city of Roswell out at the air base,” Wooley said. “This is probably one of the biggest things to boost our economy there for a long time.”

Companies operating out of the Roswell Air Center now pay a 7 percent gross receipts tax on the sale of commercial and military aircraft. They also pay the tax on any maintenance, refurbishing, remodeling or other work done on planes.

Chaves County-Roswell Economic Development Corporation Executive Director John Mulcahy conducted an economic impact study of the bill prior to its presentation to the Legislature.

The study showed that in five years, 125 jobs would be created, he said.

Those, in turn, would generate $5.25 million in payroll.

“We had indirect impacts and induced impacts that would increase the economy at $10.5 million,” Mulcahy said last week. “So, it’s pretty important that we get those.”

AerSale and Stewart Industries are two companies that operate from the air center. Both are expected to now be able to benefit from the tax break by hiring

child, without interacting or distracting the child.

Courtroom work provides a dif ferent set of challenges. The dog needs to comfort the child in the witness box during directand cross-examination while remaining unseen.

There may be people talking loudly in the courtroom that the dog must ignore.

The courthouse often presents noise and confusion with hand-cuffed prisoners shuf fling into the courtroom, crowded elevators and people rushing around in distress. The courthouse dog is also called upon to comfort family members of a homicide.

Dr. Celeste Walsen, DVM, executive director of Courthouse Dogs Foundation, said the training is far different both for the courthouse dog and the handler.

The training programs for courthouse facility dogs are accredited by Assistance Dogs Inter national. The ADI sets standards for organizations, dog trainers and for qualified graduate dogs.

“A therapy dog is usually somebody’s pet and trained by their owner.”

O’Neill-Stephens explained the difference between service dogs and courthouse dogs.

additional workers and handling more aircraft.

Mayor Del Jurney said the idea first started in October with a conversation he and others had with one of the aircraft businesses at the air center about actions that could be taken legislatively to create more opportunities, Jurney said.

“We got our delegation together to talk about it and took it from there,” Jurney said. “When we sat down back in October with our legislators and talked about this, there was a lot of skepticism about whether we could do this in the 30-day session. It was a lot of hard work and (they) made it happen.”

Jurney said he was excited about what the tax break would create, including creating additional interest in the region from outside companies.

“This is huge and it’s really a significant step,” Jurney said.

The Taxation and Revenue Department reported that there would be a minimal loss of any current tax revenue as a result of the passage of the measure, according to its fiscal impact report.

Industry representatives supported the department’s analysis, reporting that though airplanes are maintained and repaired in-state, they are flown outside of New Mexico for sale, to avoid paying the state’s gross receipts tax, according to the report.

The deduction would permit the sale to occur in-state. This could provide an incentive for additional investment in airplane maintenance and repair in New Mexico, to the economic benefit of the state, the department reported.

The bill does not have a sunset date.

hearing dogs for the deaf and mobility-assistance dogs. This is why I like the term courthouse-facility dogs. The dogs are trained for a particular facility, a hospital, a school or a court, and are trained to work with many different people that they will run into, while service dogs are trained for an individual’s needs.”

She referred to courthouse dogs as professionals, who were trained by professionals. Courthouse dogs are not only trained, they are bred for temperament and disposition.

“They have to be calm no matter what is happening around them,” she said.

O’Neill-Stephens spoke of one court case where the child victim had suffered through beatings, starvation and abuse.

“Everybody likes dogs.

Some judges and defense attorneys feel that a witness accompanied by a dog may be viewed more sympathetically by the jury and as more credible.

“The courthouse facility dog is trained to stay hidden in the witness box where they cannot be seen. ... One of the attor neys dumped an entire glass of water on the dog. Three people rushed in to help.

This dog didn’t move.”

She joked that the courthouse dog, once it dons its unifor m, is always seen lying around.

“People are underwhelmed. They say: ‘You call that working?’”

Walsen works with criminal justice facilities to teach staff members the practicalities of using highly trained dogs in victim and witness-support programs. Each handler has to be specifically trained, and each handler goes through a rigorous series of interviews before they are approved for work with a courthouse dog. Currently, Walsen is developing a set of nationally recognized guidelines for victim advocates, forensic interviewers, prosecuting attorneys, and other legal professionals to effectively employ dogs.

She said the courthouse dog may be seen playing with children before an interview, but once the interview begins, they lay down and remain quiet.

“These dogs can’t react,” she said.

Often people, who have only seen them at work, wonder if the dogs get any time for romping and playing. Walsen wanted to assure everyone: “Once they return to their handlers’ home, these dogs are coddled just like any other dog.”

The dogs come from Santa Fe-based Assistance Dogs of the West. O’NeillStephens said: “There are 60 courthouse dogs at work in 23 states, and New Mexico is considered one of the pioneers in the nation.”

Education presentation offers obscure ideas A4 Thursday, February 20, 2014

This is one of those wordsmean-something columns, to wit, some words used in political and public policy conversations are code for policy prescriptions.

At the start of a recent presentation about education to the Albuquerque Press Women, cautionary bells rang when, under the headline, “liberal egalitarianism,” I heard, “Grave inequalities keep people from being meaningfully free to choose for themselves. Fair ness and justice require a safety net with a livable minimum of housing, income, food, education, health care, and equal opportunity.”

Under “free market libertarianism,” I heard some more appealing points. “Free people should choose for themselves. People are responsible for their own actions and their consequences. Redistribution of income or wealth is unfair, and creates disincentives for hard work.”

The libertarianism-egalitarian-

ism nuggets were of fered to define the political dialogue.

While “fairness and justice” live as technical jargon in the identity politics of the left, the notion of “being meaningfully free” is obscure. I don’t remember the phrase, have no idea what it means, and suspect rampant agendas.

“Free market libertarianism” seems designed to incite images of right wing nuts. To the question of who is saying this stuff, the presenters offered a source, Michael Sandel from something called, “Justice: What is the Right Thing To Do?” The source document is a

Roswell Daily Record

book. Thank you, Internet and Wikipedia. Our path forward is a little tortured. Bear with me.

Sandel is a Harvard (wouldn’t you know?) political philosopher who the Wikipedia writer(s) say “subscribes to a certain version of communitarianism,” is famous for a course called “Justice,” which he has tur ned into an industry complete with TV show.

Sandel is famous for his “critique” of another philosopher, John Rawls, who talks about a veil of ignorance. Wikipedia says, “Sandel’s view is that we are by nature encumbered to an extent that makes it impossible even in the hypothetical to have such a veil” of ignorance.

My veil of ignorance covers any inkling of Sandel’s meaning.

The Wikipedia Sandel article highlights “communitarianism.”

Click and discover that communitarianism emphasizes the connection between the individual and the community. One part of

communitarianism considers classical liberalism incoherent.

Sandel was not mentioned in this section.

In my world, the classical liberals are the good guys: Friedrich Hayek, David Hume, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, Alexis de Tocqueville, to cite a few. They developed the foundation of what this country is supposed to be about.

The presenters were Peter Winograd and Hailey Heinz, both from the University of New Mexico’s Center for Education Policy Research. Their title was, “The Future of Education in New Mexico: Why Should You Care and What You Should Do About It.” Winograd, the center director, is considered an education policy wizard. Heinz has been an Albuquerque Journal reporter.

The long, winding and probably boring road of philosophic background exploration was to provide a rough idea of what is

behind the thinking of Winograd and Heinz. “Who are those guys?”

Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy and Robert Reford as the Sundance Kid kept wondering about the posse behind them.

Within the philosophy, specific dialogue topics ranged from health care to food stamps. Work was not mentioned. Topics under “The National Debates about Inequality” included one new to me, “What are the mental health costs of inequality?”

Winograd and Heinz provided all sorts of demographics reporting the rotten performance of “education” in New Mexico. They said little about actual education, how learning works. As to doing something, they asked the audience for a civil conversation with friends. Hardly a call to action.

Parents got one mention, totally in passing. The wizards have forgotten parents, it seems, and embraced fancy, obscure philosophy. Scary.

Hit the brakes on a mileage tax

The federal government and several state governments have begun a push for a new — and potentially creepy — way to tax drivers to pay for their use of the roads. Over the past few years, states like Oregon, Nevada, Minnesota and Illinois have been experimenting with systems that would tax drivers based on the number of miles driven. Washington state is considering a taxper-mile program, and the federal government has been studying the issue as well.

For almost a century, roads have been funded primarily with federal and state excise taxes on fuel. The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon and has not increased since 1993. California imposes an additional 39.5 cents per gallon, the highest gas tax in the nation. But people are increasingly driving more fuel-efficient vehicles and buying electric vehicles, so, while they are still using the roads as much as before, they are now are using less gas (and paying less in gas taxes).

While a mileage-based tax would more accurately allocate the costs of maintaining the roads based on who uses them the most, there are other problems that seem insurmountable. Though the scheme could conceivably be designed to minimize its intrusiveness — such as allowing motorists to choose to be taxed on a baseline mileage set by the gover nment or requiring motorists to submit to an annual odometer reading — it might also take the form of a mandatory and expensive “black box” equipped with GPS tracking technology installed in all vehicles.

The Big Brother implications and potential privacy violations of this are obvious, which is why the American Civil Liberties Union is not a fan. Given the propensity of government to always grow its size and scope (the National Security Agency’s domestic spying programs, anyone?), the potential for the development of systems to track and spy on citizens’ movements is just too great.

Congress and state legislatures, instead, should start by not wasting existing transportation funds on bike paths and porkbarrel projects. If additional funding is still needed, policymakers need to adjust their budget priorities or find a way to raise the necessary funds without threatening individual liberties.

structural reforms that the country needed,” reports Mexico City’s The News. He pointed out that this has been achieved “in a climate of plurality and diversity.”

The reforms, that passed on December 12, 2013, allow

profit- and production-sharing contracts, and licenses.

The reforms also put an end to government monopolies in the operation of oil-and-gas fields, while maintaining the Mexican government’s ownership of the country’s resources.

“The current government’s ability to build coalitions puts Mexico on the verge of its biggest economic victory since the North American Free T rade Agreement,” states Arturo Sarukhan, who has

served in Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry.

One-third of Mexico’s federal budget comes from oil wealth that has declined 25 percent since its peak just a decade ago. Reform has the potential to transform Mexico’s economy by inviting foreign investment, which Peña Nieto successfully argued is needed to “allow Mexico to capitalize on its shale oil-andgas deposits.” Because almost

Whether these abnormalities in how the intestines work explain the symptoms of IBS, however, r emains uncertain. In fact, it’s likely that IBS is not a single disease, but rather a set of symptoms that stem from a variety of causes.

Some possible causes of IBS symptoms include:

— Infection. A bout of infectious gastr oenteritis (stomach or bowel inflammation) may sensitize the gut in a way that leads to IBS symptoms.

— Overgrowth of intestinal bacteria in the small intestine. This may contribute to common symptoms in some patients, and antibiotic treatment may impr ove some symptoms.

— Unusual bacteria in the large intestine. In all of us, the large intestine is filled with trillions of bacteria, of thousands of different types.

Some experts speculate that

I am writing to let you know what a great business we have in Roswell, which is Home Depot.

We needed a ramp put up for entry and exit of our home due to age and disability.

I called all over town to get some help, to no avail. I called Home Depot and asked them and had no problems. They came out, measured, went back to Home Depot, put it together, brought it out and installed it. We are so grateful to Home Depot for doing this for us.

The men who did the job: Albert Sanchez (Pro Desk), John Cihiy (Pro Desk), John Rico (Assistant Manager), Wayne Cliff (Assistant Manager), Lonnie Perry (Lumber Supervisor).

We also talked to Susan Lazarski (Supervisor) who was a great help. And another girl named Anna. You all did a great job. We need more businesses like this in our town. A job done from all the above mentioned people was great.

Thank you so very much.

God Bless you all.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have irritable bowel syndrome.

Can you explain what has caused it?

DEAR READER: The honest answer is we don’t know what causes irritable bowel syndr ome (IBS). Over the past 20 years, we’ve discovered some clues and developed some new treatments.

IBS is a common condition.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or constipation, bloating, gassiness and cramping. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve posted criteria that doctors look for when diagnosing IBS.) No physical abnor mality

Roswell Daily Record

MATT GARCIA THE UNITY CENTER “It pisses me off when someone talks s--- about me on the internet” “That’s kind of dumb, just walk away from the computer” “Some people just don’t know when to quit” “It’s funny to make people mad, and its even better when my friends join in while online” “I ignore it.”

These are some quotes of Roswell teens when asked to comment on cyber bullying.”

While growing in the early 2000s social networks were years away from being dominant in a teenager’s life. We had MSN or Yahoo messenger, which let you send a message over an internetconnected computer. It was still in the development stages and not many high school students were even using that program.

Compared to present-day cybercommunication was essentially not in existence.

Bullying was still something that happened at school and hardly ever happened outside of the school walls. In my experience, it was usually a student who was not part of any social groups that was usually harassed and in fights. These fights usually took place in the boys locker room, and the student would confront his bullies and usually

PROMOTING UNITY

that would be the end of the problem.

I was in a couple of sports and had support systems of “friends” that had my back, if another student wanted to pick on me. However, I really never noticed that the students who actually bullied me were the guys who were suppose to be my teammates. Even if I had a problem we would have to settle the problem in house, usually confronting the other person.

A friend would tell me, “Why do you let that person pick on you.”

The word ‘bullying’ was never used, but it turns out that it just had different names.

Confronting a bully in my days in high school was the better solution. Going to an adult seemed like a cop-out, and you were deemed lesser of a person for doing so. Comments from men my age tell me the same story.

You either confront the problem

or just leave it alone, and let it be. Both seemed like logical choices back then. At the same time, I knew it was best to have an adult know of what’s going in the situation, even if it meant being called a snitch. The problem was always over before the problem got physical.

Today, kids still get picked on for being the weird kid who does not belong to a certain social group. Yet, dealing with a bully over the internet is a different beast all together. It is easy to say, ‘turn off the computer and walk away,’ but now someone posts an ugly picture or says embarrassing comments and they last longer than someone calling you queer in a classroom. With a simple classroom comment, everyone gets a laugh and forgets about it the next day, but now with the introduction of social networks, screenshots, and memes those hurtful comments are permanent.

About a year ago I was a victim of cyber bullying by an older teenager. This teenager was banned from concerts. He had been harassing a local performer who was still in high school.

When my brother and I stepped in and asked him to leave her alone, stating that she was a young musician still learning her craft, that made the situation even worse. It got to the point where he was posting graphic

pictures of her via her Facebook page. He was leaving comments about how she should just die and give up her music career. He said she was horrible and people only put up with her set because she was our friend. When we intervened, he started his verbal assault on my brother, making comments on his weight problem and posting more graphic pictures on his Facebook page. He even began calling him all day using blocked-number calls to threaten him.

In this situation, we had to alert police about this teenager’s cyber bullying but, due to certain laws in this state, there is nothing officers can do about someone who is underage engaging in cyber bullying. We were told that a police officer would go talk to parents about his Inter net actions, but since this particular teenager was underage and not officially legal, no charges could be made.

To be told by a police officer that they could not arrest him for Internet harassment was horrible news to hear especially when we were told that in other states, student cyber bullying was treated as a serious crime. I see now more kids are getting bullied via Internet than before, more so because they choose to skip talking to that person physically and do it from behind a screen instead. That is not positive

because at some point they are going to have see each other without a computer or smart phone in between.

Today’s teens are cyber bullying more often and parents are overlooking it because adults don’t recognize the new way that this harassment works. It isn’t something that can be brushed off easily, and many times it is something that teens can walk away from.

Teens today don’t think of the repercussions of their actions on the Internet. Posts on the Internet are public and have a longer lasting effect towards a victim.

Before the Inter net, bullying stayed in the schools but now it’s everlasting. Teens need to think before they post.

branches contribute nothing for the tree, but can harbor insects and disease that may damage the rest of the tree. If you will be pruning both dead and living branches, remember to limit removal of living branches so that you remove no more than onefourth to one-third of the leaf bearing twigs from a healthy tree.

In trees that are not healthy, even fewer living branches should be removed.

You can often recognize the dead branches by the characteristics of the bark. Bark on dead branches may be pulling away from the wood, exposing cracks.

There will be no green cambium layer under the bark on a dead branch, so scratch thin bark with your thumbnail or use a pocket knife to look below thicker bark.

If there is a green layer under the bark, the branch may still be alive at that level in the branch.

However, if most of the twigs on that branch are shriveled and have no green cambium layer under their thin bark, you may choose to remove the whole branch, even that portion that is still living.

If you are not certain that a branch is dead, you can wait until summer after leaves have formed on the living branches. At that time you can remove the dead branches revealed by their lack of leaves.

Even when removing dead branches, proper pruning practices are important. Cut the dead branch back to a healthy branch, but cut outside the branch collar

(swelling at the base of the branch being removed). Do not leave stubs and do not top the tree.

After determining whether or not disease and insect management practices are needed, ask your NMSU Extension Service agent about proper irrigation practices to minimize damage to trees during periods of drought.

Removing dead branches in the winter

Q. My silver maple tree has a lot of dead branches. It is not an old tree, but it has been in my yard doing well for over 10 years.

I think the dead branches are a result of the dry weather early last year. When is the best time to remove the dead branches?

How can I tell which branches are dead in the winter when they have no leaves?

A. Silver maple trees often grow well when they are young and begin to exhibit browning of their leaves and die back as they mature. This is often due to the fact that the silver maple prefers a moister soil and more humidity in the air than New Mexico’s environment provides. The high mineral salt content of our soil also causes problems for silver maple trees. However, the very dry conditions the trees experienced last year could definitely be the major contributing factor to recent dieback. Because the autumn

all of the profits of Mexico’s state-owned oil company, Pemex, have gone back into the national coffers—and not into research and development—Mexico lacks the technical expertise to exploit its unconventional resources and deep-water deposits.

Fluvio C. Ruiz Alarcon, an independent director at Pemex, explains: “It will be vital to improve its technological competencies if Pemex is to remain competitive. It will need firm partnerships with companies from other countries.”

Peña Nieto understands the need to build pipelines to bring the needed supplies into the country.

Meanwhile, in America, we’ve been waiting for five years for the Obama administration to approve the Keystone pipeline.

Peña Nieto understands that lower energy costs will help his country be competitive. Obama’s policies have increased electricity prices—both residential and industrial—in the U.S.

Los Angeles cardinal unlikely to face charges

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The nation’s largest Roman Catholic archdiocese has agreed to pay $720 million to clergy abuse victims over the past decade and released internal files that showed Cardinal Roger Mahony shielded priests and ordered a surrogate to withhold evidence from police, yet Mahony and other archdiocese leaders are unlikely to face criminal charges.

With the final $13 million settlement of existing

old cases announced Wednesday, Mahony has emerged from the scandal with his reputation tarnished, but his place in the church intact — even after being publicly rebuked by his successor for internal church files showing that he and others worked to protect priests, keep parishioners in the dark and defend the church’s image.

By settling the cases, the archdiocese avoids a trial in which Mahony would have been publicly ques-

tioned under oath about what plaintif fs’ lawyers said was an attempt to thwart a Los Angeles police investigation.

During a deposition unsealed Wednesday, Mahony acknowledged he told an underling not to give police a list of altar boys who had worked with the Rev. Nicolas Aguilar Rivera. He testified he wasn’t trying to hinder police, but he didn’t want the boys to be scarred by the investigation and that he felt the altar boys were

too old to be potential victims of the Mexican priest.

Police later found that 25 of Aguilar Rivera’s alleged victims were altar boys and the other victim was training with the priest to be one, said Anthony DeMarco, a plaintiff attorney.

It’s not clear what impact Mahony’s action had on the investigation, though at the time, police complained that the archdiocese wasn’t fully cooperating.

Brief thaw lifts spirits, raises flooding risks A runner runs along the lake shore Wednesday in Chicago.

CHICAGO (AP) — As dozens of moms and nannies pushing strollers descended on Chicago’s Lincoln Park to enjoy a rare sunny, mild day, shrinking mounds of snow and growing puddles signaled that one of the cruelest winters in memory is about to get miserable in a whole different way.

“Now we are going to start the flood season,” said Don Gutzmer, a contractor who was at the park’s zoo for a meeting.

“If all the snow melts at once, the ground can’t absorb it.”

Weeks of subfreezing weather are giving way, at

In Chicago, the National Weather Service issued an advisory Wednesday warning that ice and deep snow could clog the city’s drainage system. Street crews raced to clear catch basins of debris.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department has warned airlines that terrorists could try to hide explosives in shoes. It’s the second time in less than three weeks that the government has issued a warning about possible attempts to smuggle explosives on a commercial jetliner.

Homeland Security said Wednesday it regularly shares relevant information with domestic and international partners, but it declined to discuss specifics of a warning sent to airlines.

“Our security apparatus includes a number of

measures, both seen and unseen, informed by the latest intelligence and as always DHS continues to adjust security measures to fit an ever evolving threat environment,” the department said in a statement.

A U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press that DHS released a notice to airlines reiterating that liquids, shoes and certain cosmetics were of concern, all of which are covered under existing Transportation Security Administration security policies.

The latest warning was focused on flights headed to the United States from

least briefly, to temperatures in the 40s and 50s, putting many Midwestern cities on guard for flooding, roof collapses and clogged stor m drains.

Some areas expected a double whammy: warm, springlike air combined with heavy rains that could compound the problem and turn the big melt into a muddy, damaging mess.

Of ficials in suburban Will County prepared to siphon warm water from a nuclear power plant’s cooling pond into the Kankakee River in hopes of melting ice that can jam the channel and push floodwaters over the banks.

At the same time, emergency management authorities warned people in low-lying areas to be ready to move to higher ground, even going doorto-door to ensure families were aware of the danger.

And landscaping companies’ phones rang off the hook with calls from homeowners seeking teams to scoop snow onto

dump trucks and haul it away before their basements flood.

“They’re calling me to say, ‘With this rain coming, where is that water and the snow going to go when it melts?”’ said Jodey Schmiedekamp of Countryside Industries in suburban Chicago.

In Indiana, the weather service cautioned that melting snow piled as high as 18 inches will not be able to flow normally into rivers and streams because those channels are frozen. Between the snowmelt and the rain, some flooding would be unavoidable.

OBITUARIES

Marguerite B. “Margie” Bennett

Marguerite B. “Margie” Bennett, 97, passed away Saturday February 8, 2014 at Landsun Homes in

Carlsbad, NM. There will be no visitation, cremation has taken place.

Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for Friday, February 21, 2014, 10:00 AM, at St. Edward Catholic Church, 201 North Guadalupe Street, Carlsbad, NM, with Father Cyprian Uline, OFM, Conv. officiating.

Denton-Wood Funeral Home, 575-885-6363, is in charge of the arrangements.

Marguerite B. “Margie’ Bennett was born January 25, 1917 in Aubur n, Nebraska to John Joseph and Louise Julianna (Neuman) Kvech. She graduated from high school in Lin-

abroad.

The official said “something caused DHS concern, but it’s a very low threshold to trigger a warning like this.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

Earlier this month Homeland Security warned airlines with flights to Russia to be on the lookout for explosive devices possibly hidden inside toothpaste.

The Transportation Security Administration then banned passengers from bringing any liquids in their carry-on luggage on nonstop flights from the

coln, Nebraska in 1934.

Margie attended business college in Long Beach. She wrote scripts and advertisements over 25 years for radio broadcasts while her husband was in the radio business in Orange County, California. They moved to Roswell and worked for KBIM-FM radio for 20 years. Margie has lived in Carlsbad since 1998. She was a honorary member of Pecos Valley Amateur Radio Club. Margie loved reading, cooking, gardening and animals. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Myron J. Bennett; brothers: August Kvech, John Kvech; sister, Louise L ynn and Thomas Coates.

those top of ficials have never been held fully to account,” Jeff Anderson, a plaintiffs’ attorney, said at a news conference. “What we see is a current and ongoing attempt to deflect and deny responsibility.”

The priest is believed to have molested 100 additional children in Mexico both before and after his stint in Los Angeles, DeMarco said. He was defrocked in 2009 after attorneys in Los Angeles filed the first of their lawsuits.

The archdiocese said in a statement Tuesday that the church had settled the cases to “provide support to the victims through the healing process.”

Mahony, who retired as head of the archdiocese in 2011, was admonished last year by Archbishop Jose Gomez for his handling of the abuse crisis.

But he has avoided criminal prosecution, despite investigations by the Los Angeles County district attor ney and the U.S. attorney’s office.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man who was shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent threw large rocks at the agent, including one about the size of a basketball, investigators said Wednesday.

The man, who was suspected of being in the country illegally, began throwing fist-sized rocks at the agent from a hillside perch, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said. The rocks became larger, and one of the bigger pieces hit the agent in the head.

The sheriff’s department said the agent fired his gun at least twice Tuesday, fearing he might be killed or incapacitated if he was hit again in the head. The agent tried to revive the man, who died at the scene. The man’s identity is unknown.

The agent, whose name was not disclosed, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released.

The episode in a remote, mountainous area about 4 miles east of San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing comes amid debate about whether the Border Patrol should respond to rock attacks with lethal force.

Under current policy, agents can use deadly force if they have a reasonable belief that their lives or the lives of others are in danger.

The Border Patrol has long maintained rocks can be lethal weapons.

The incident began when two agents on foot separated Tuesday morning to arrest two people who were suspected of crossing the border illegally from Mexico, according to the sheriff’s department, which is leading the investigation.

One agent saw a third person — who has not been identified — and ordered him to stop in English and Spanish, then chased him down a ravine and up a hill, where the shooting occurred, the department said. Sheriff’s Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said the account is based on the agent’s statement and that there were no other surviving eyewitnesses.

The Border Patrol said in a statement Tuesday that the agent feared for his life and that two people in the country illegally were arrested. Kelly Thornton, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in San Diego, said prosecutors decided against charging them with a crime.

The Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofit group that led a government-commissioned review, recommended that the Border Patrol and its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection, prohibit deadly force against rockthrowers and assailants in vehicles, Border Patrol Chief Mike Fisher told The Associated Press last year.

Sheriff says man killed by US agent hurled large rocks

U.S. to Russia. That warning became public just days before the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

It is unclear if the latest warning, first reported Wednesday by NBC News, is related to the earlier threats to Russia-bound flights.

Air passengers in the United States have had to take off their shoes at airport security checkpoints since shortly after Richard Reid tried to ignite explosives hidden in his shoes on a Miami-bound flight in late 2001.

Survivors are nephews: John Kvech of Rockport, WA, August E. “Gene” Kvech and wife, Lucia of Far mington, NM, James L ynn and wife, Pamela of Wichita, KS; niece, Jo Ann Marguerite Edmonds and husband, Mike of Littleton, CO. Condolences may be expressed at dentonwood.com.

Cardiovascular Associates of Roswell say Don’t Wait and Wonder if it’s a Heart Attack

Roswell Daily Record

Getting help immediately gives you a better chance of surviving a heart So know attack. the signs and get help right away!

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, of both men and women. More than one million Americans suffer from heart attacks every year, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). But you can reduce your risk by being knowledgeable about heart health.

Not all heart attacks are recognized and treated, according to a recent study at University Duke Medical Center.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is the leading cause of coronary artery disease and stroke.

Hypertension is called the “silent because killer” about one-third of the people with this condition do not

know that they have it. It accounts for 40 to 60 percent of all heart attacks.

Risk factors for silent heart attacks are the same as for regular heart attacks – smoking, diabetes, stress, and family history – and these heart episodes occur more frequently than physicians had previously thought. who Individuals suffered these silent attacks often a experienced symptom they did not attribute to heart trouble, and had another risk factor for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Common heart warning attack signs According to the AHA, heart warning attack signs typically begin slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. The AHA considers the following symptoms

den dizziness, a pounding heart, shortness of breath, heavy perspiration, a feeling of impending doom, nausea and vomiting.

Notably, women and men often experience different heart attack symptoms.

Women are more likely to have nontraditional heart attack symptoms like fatigue, indigestion and sleep disturbances. Up to percent of 43 women experience no chest pain prior to or during a heart attack, according to research by the National Institutes of Health.

Heart attack triggers heart A attack may seem to come from nowhere, but this is rarely the case. The timing is determined by heart attack triggers, which are different symptoms. from While a symptom is a physical condition or sign that may indicate the

occurrence of a heart attack, a trigger is a situation that can make a heart attack more likely – especially when combined with an existing condition or risk factor.

A trigger may tip the balance when the person has a known or unknown heart attack risk factor but does not, by itself, cause a heart attack. Some comtriggers mon include lack of sleep, overeating, stress, or unusually heavy exercise.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have much to think about and consider. You might need to mellow out a bit. You YOUR HOROSCOPE will have an important and long-overdue discussion with a loved one or an associate. The less that is said to others, the better off you will be. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You seem ready to make a dream a reality. A partner or several other people might want to pitch in, especially if this idea could affect them too. An upbeat attitude will help you feel more connected to others than you have in the past. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take news with a grain of salt. A boss might have a lot to say, and will talk openly if you seem interested in what he or she has to share. Use caution with your finances. A risk might not pay off in the way you’d hoped it would. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow’s work.

Conor Oberst filed a lawsuit on Wednesday claiming he was libeled by a woman who wrote in online posts that she was sexually assaulted by the singer songwriter.

An attorney for Oberst filed the civil lawsuit in a Manhattan federal court.

The suit claims the woman behind the accusations was a liar who made “despicable, false, outrageous, and defamatory statements” about Oberst last December.

The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they were sexually assaulted.

Oberst’s lawsuit says the woman posted accusations that Oberst raped her a decade ago in North Carolina after his brother, her middle school English teacher, introduced the two at an Oberst show. The lawsuit says she also

claimed Oberst punched her in the face and that she was 16 at the time.

Oberst, an Omaha, Neb., resident best known for his work with Bright Eyes, is seeking monetary damages, attor ney fees and other costs.

He says the media coverage that resulted from the three posts in the comments section of a blog has damaged his career, especially in New York where most of the major music publishing houses are headquartered. He says he was in the company of his brother, bandmates or then-girlfriend at the time of the claims. The suit also says the woman made positive social media comments about Oberst in the past decade.

According to the lawsuit, the woman said in the posts that she never reported the assault because of the way her own family and friends reacted to the accusations. She says she posted his name a decade later

to help others and at the suggestion of her husband.

The attorney for Oberst did not return a message seeking comment.

The woman didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment sent through her social media account. It’s not clear if she has an attorney.

Lawyer files lawsuit over ‘Wolf of Wall Street’

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A lawyer and investment banker who says he was defamed by a portrayal in “The Wolf of Wall Street” is asking for more than $25 million in damages and the film removed from theaters.

Andrew Greene says in a complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of New York against the filmmakers and Paramount Pictures that the toupee-wearing character Nicky “Rugrat” Koskoff was modeled after Greene, whose real-life nickname is “Wigwam” because he often wears a hairpiece.

The hedonistic Oscar -nominated film starring Leonardo DiCaprio is based on the 2007 memoir by notorious Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm founder Jordan Belfort, played by DiCaprio.

Greene, who says he never gave the filmmakers permission to use his likeness, served as the firm’s head of corporate finance in the 1990s.

The lawsuit says the filmmakers made Greene look like a depraved criminal, drug user and degenerate. In the film, the character “Rugrat,” who’s played by actor P.J. Byrne, uses cocaine, engages in sexual relations with a prostitute and shaves a woman’s head, among other risque activities.

“The Wolf of Wall Street” is up for five Academy Awards at next month’s ceremony, including best picture and best director for Martin Scorcese.

Paramount had no comment on the lawsuit.

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Graeme McDowell pulled of f the biggest surprise Wednesday in an opening round of comebacks in the Match Play Championship.

McDowell was 4 down through seven holes and still three holes behind with three to play when he staged an improbable rally against Florida neighbor Gary Woodland. McDowell seized on Woodland’s mistakes to win the next three holes, and then put him away with a 6-foot birdie putt on the 19th hole.

“I’m sure he’s extremely disappointed right now — and I’m extremely elated,” McDowell said. “I’m surprised to be sitting here, having won. Yeah, I hit a couple of quality shots down the last couple of holes, but he had mistakes, as well. It’s a brutal format.”

It’s certainly brutal for 32 players that were headed home, a list that included Zach Johnson (3), Dustin Johnson (6) and Steve Stricker (9) among the top 10 seeds.

Eleven of the 32 matches went at least 18 holes, with

PGA champion Jason Dufner also rallied with some help. He was three down with five holes to play when Scott Stallings chopped up two holes, Dufner made a key birdie, and Dufner won on the first extra hole with a par.

Eight players trailed with six holes remaining and went on to win. That

Stenson, awarded the top seed because Tiger Woods and Masters champion Adam Scott chose not to play, trailed Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand with five holes to play. The big Thai struggled with his

putter, however, missing a 4-footer for par on the 14th to lose the hole, and an 8footer for birdie on the 15th that would have given him the lead. Stenson made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 16th, and won the match when Aphibarnrat failed to match his birdie on the 17th by missing from 5

Ted Ligety wins WINTER OLYMPICS U.S. tops Czechs, moves to semis giant slalom Henrik Stenson hits out of a bunker in his match in the first round of the Match Play Championship, Wednesday.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — This was the race Ted Ligety knew he should win.

So did everybody else.

And that, Ligety explained Wednesday after becoming the first American man in Olympic history with two Alpine skiing gold medals, was precisely what made the feat so tough.

Sometimes, being a popular pick can be overwhelming. Ligety learned that four years ago, and dealt with the matter far better on this day.

Scraping the snow with his gloves and hips while taking wide turns around gates, his body swaying left and right with a pendulum’s precision, Ligety finished the two-leg giant slalom with a combined time of 2 minutes, 45.29 seconds, winning by nearly a halfsecond.

His gold is the first for the U.S. Alpine team at the Sochi Games. Yet Ligety’s overriding emotion as he fell to the ground in the finish area was something other than pure joy.

“It was a huge relief,” said

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Dustin Brown banged in a go-ahead goal late in the first period and the United States went on to dominate the Czech Republic 5-2 Wednesday, ear ning a spot in the Olympic hockey semifinals for the second straight time.

On Friday, the U.S. will play Canada — a rematch of the 2010 gold-medal game — for a shot to become an Olympic champion. The Canadians held of f Latvia 2-1, and they beat the Americans in overtime four years ago.

“It’s a great opportunity,” American forward Max Pacioretty said.

“They’re obviously the favorite coming into the tournament, and we’ve opened up a lot of eyes with our play, but we have more in the tank to give and to show.

“We keep getting better every game and hopefully we’ll keep getting better after this one.”

James van Riemsdyk gave the Americans a

Ligety, a 29-year-old based in Park City, Utah. “All season long, everybody talks about the Olympics, Olympics, Olympics. At a certain point, I was just like, ‘Let’s do it already. Let’s get this thing over with, so we can stop talking about the pressure and everything with it.’ So it’s awesome to ... finally do it and get the monkey off the back.”

He used a perfect first run to open a wide lead of nearly a second, then protected that with a conservative second run that was only 14th-fastest down the Rosa Khutor course as the sun peeked out from behind a nearby peak and through sparse clouds. All in all, much more comfortable conditions than the fog, rain and sleet of a day earlier.

“His first run was flawless, free. He trusted himself. It was his signature skiing,” U.S. men’s head coach Sasha Rearick said.

“The second run was a strategic chess match, which he executed brilliantly.”

lead 1:39 into the game.

They lost it a few minutes later when one of their defensemen, Ryan McDonagh, tried to clear the puck away from the front of the crease and it went off the left skate of Ryan Suter and got past Jonathan Quick.

The Czechs were not as successful scoring on their own against Quick, who started ahead of 2010 silver -medal winning goaltender R yan Miller and had 21 saves.

Ales Hemsky was credited with a goal that two Americans touched after he did. Hemsky legitimately scored his second one, skating to the slot and snapping off a wrist shot that got past Quick’s blocker with 7 minutes left in the game.

Brown put the U.S. up 2-1 at the 14:38 mark of the first, and David Backes made it 3-1 with 1.8 seconds in the period.

Canada holds off Latvia 2-1 in Olympic thriller

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Shea Weber scored a tiebreaking powerplay goal with 6:54 to play, and Canada survived an enormous scare from Latvia to advance to the Olympic men’s hockey semifinals with a 2-1 victory Wednesday night.

Carey Price made 15 saves for the defending Olympic champion Canadians, who were stretched to the limit by Latvia goalie Kristers Gudlevskis.

The 21-year -old Tampa Bay Lightning prospect made 55 saves in a spectacular performance, nearly pulling one of the biggest upsets in hockey history largely by himself.

But Weber unleashed his peerless slap shot late in a power play, and Canada finally took the lead on its 54th shot against Gudlevskis.

Canada advanced to a semifinal meeting with the United States on Friday in a rematch of the goldmedal game in Vancouver four years ago.

One night after Latvia recorded its first Olympic victory in 12 years to reach its first quarterfinals, Buffalo Sabres coach Ted Nolan’s team improbably tested the champs.

Lauris Darzins scored a breakaway goal in the first period for Latvia, which lost all three of its

Roswell Daily Record

preliminary-round games before surprising Switzerland 3-1 on Tuesday to advance for the first time. The Baltic nation of 2 million people has been in the last four Olympic fields after a 66-year absence, but hadn’t won a game since 2002.

With just one current NHL player, Buffalo’s Zemgus Girgensons,

and 41-year-old captain Sandis Ozolinsh leading the way, Latvia nearly did even better than fellow underdog Slovenia, which also reached the quarterfinals in Sochi before losing to Sweden.

Gudlevskis, who has mostly played for Syracuse in the AHL this season, mostly stymied the powerful Canadian offense with

his scrambling, alert style.

Patrick Sharp scored in the first period for the Canadians, who cruised unbeaten through the preliminary round with three victories. Canada also lost forward John Tavares to injury in the second period.

Canada, which has won two of the last three Olympic tourna-

ments, is the first defending Olympic champion to return to the semifinals since the current Olympic format was introduced in 1992. Nobody has won back-toback gold medals in Olympic hockey since the Soviet Union in 1984 and 1988, although a unified team of former Soviet republics won the title in 1992 as well.

But a few hours after Russia’s Olympic run ended at the Bolshoy Ice Dome with a quarterfinal loss to Finland, Canada created some eerie echoes of the Russians’ downfall: Pedigreed forwards failing to score, defensemen making key mistakes and opposing goalies playing phenomenal hockey.

Canada had few major worries about its star-studded team during the first week in Sochi, although fellow semifinalist Finland took the Canadians to overtime. Captain Sidney Crosby’s goalless performance and a daily shuffling of the forward lines did not suggest scoring trouble for such a potent lineup — particularly not against tiny Latvia.

Canada had quality scoring chances throughout the first period. Crosby missed on a breakaway a moment before linemate Chris Kunitz hit the crossbar on an open net, extending his Olympic funk.

Bjoerndalen’s haul is now 8-4-1.

The 40-year -old Bjoerndalen can win another medal in the last men’s biathlon event in Sochi, the 4x7.5K relay on Saturday.

Norway’s victory came one day after Bjoerndalen missed out on a medal chance in the 15K mass start event, when he was in fourth position when missing four targets in his final shooting.

In the mixed relay, Tora Berger faulted twice, but Tiril Eckhoff, Bjoer ndalen and Emil Hegle Svendsen all shot cleanly for Norway. They finished in 1 hour, 9 minutes and 17 seconds.

Czech Republic was 32.6 sec-

onds behind to win silver, and Italy came in 58.2 seconds behind to take bronze.

Berger led the race before missing twice in the standing shooting and dropping to fifth, 14.9 behind Dorothea Wierer of Italy. But Berger recovered and overtook the Italian on the final lap.

Eckhoff lost Norway’s lead to Gabriela Soukalova, despite the Czech having to reload three times.

Bjoerndalen started 1.1 second behind Jaroslav Soukup and stayed in the Czech’s slipstream for the first lap. Soukup missed once, giving the Norwegian an

11.7-second lead leaving the shooting range.

Bjoerndalen didn’t miss in his standing shooting, either, while Soukup faulted once again, giving a 43.1-second lead to Norway’s final starter, Svendsen.

Coming off his gold-medal victory in the 15K mass start the day before, Svendsen lost time on the track to Ondrej Moravec but held onto a decent margin when his Czech chaser missed twice.

The Norwegian anchor started celebrating after his final shooting, certain of winning a second gold medal in two days.

France, led by two-time gold medalist Martin Fourcade, was

well of f the place in seventh place.

The United States, seeking its first Olympic medal in the sport, was more than three minutes behind the leaders in ninth place.

After days of fog and drizzle, the race took place in clear, evening conditions.

The mixed relay is new to the Olympics ympic program but has been an established part of the World Cup circuit for many years and was first included in the annual biathlon world championships in 2005, with Norway winning the title for the past three years.

Bjoerndalen sets record with Norway’s relay win

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — In a fitting way to mark to become the most decorated Winter Olympian ever, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen ensured his record 13th medal was gold Wednesday when he helped Norway win the first Olympic mixed relay in biathlon.

Bjoerndalen broke the total medals record he previously shared with retired cross-country skiing great Bjoern Daehlie, and also matched fellow Norwegian’s mark of eight golds. Bjoerndalen won gold earlier at the Sochi Olympics in the men’s sprint biathlon.

Daehlie won eight gold, four silver, and no bronze medals;

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Starter Homer Bailey agreed to a $105 million, sixyear contract on Wednesday that avoids arbitration and will help the Cincinnati Reds with their cash flow by deferring some of the salary for short periods.

The deal includes a $25 million mutual option for 2020 with a $5 million buyout.

Bailey was the final major league player left in arbitration this year and reached the agreement a day before his scheduled hearing in Florida. He made $5.35 million last season and had asked for $11.6 million in arbitration. The Reds had offered $8.7 million, their biggest gap among their players in arbitration.

The 27-year-old Texan was coming off a season that included his second no-hitter.

Bailey gets salaries of $9 million this year, $10 million in 2015, $18 million in 2016, $19 million in 2017, $21 million in 2018 and $23 million in 2019. In an unusual twist, much of the annual salary will be deferred until the November after each season.

Bailey will be paid in-season amounts of $3 million this year, $4 million next year, $11 million in 2016, $12 million in 2017, $14 million in 2018 and $15 million in 2019.

If he is traded, his new team would have to pay all of the salary amounts during the

season. Also, the $5 million buyout would be paid when either side decides not to exercise the option rather than having it deferred until November 2020.

The Reds planned to discuss the deal on Thursday. Bailey declined to comment on the agreement after a workout on Wednesday.

Teams won two of three cases that went to hearings, with the Indians beating pitchers Vinnie Pestano and Josh Tomlin and pitcher Andrew Cashner winning his case with San Diego. Owners have a 293-215 margin since arbitration began in 1974.

Bailey went a career-best 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA in 2012, completing his breakthrough season by throwing a no-hitter in Pittsburgh on Sept 28. He followed that with the 16th no-hitter in franchise history last June, a 3-0 win over San Francisco at Great American Ball Park.

Bailey went 11-12 with a 3.49 ERA last year, leaving him in line for a big salary increase in arbitration or a long-term deal.

The Reds’ rotation includes five players under the age of 30 — Johnny Cueto (28), Mat Latos (26), Bailey (27), Mike Leake (26) and left-hander Tony Cingrani (24).

NFL unlikely to go sto centralized replay in 2014

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL’s competition committee is unlikely to make major changes to the replay system or playoffs this year.

On Wednesday, the committee discussed both issues during a meeting in Indianapolis but reached no consensus on either issue. More meetings are scheduled later this week as league and team officials convene for the NFL’s annual scouting combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

“There’s still a lot of discussion to be done,” New York Giants owner John Mara said when asked about using one location to determine replay reviews. “I think it’s going

to be difficult to get done on that this year.”

Under the current replay system, the lead referee goes under a hood, then makes a decision about whether to overturn the original call.

Last season, league officials noted there were some errant decisions made on replay reviews, which prompted critics to suggest the calls should be taken away from the officials on the field and be made instead by someone else. Major League Baseball recently joined the NHL as sports that have centralized replay systems.

Commissioner Roger Goodell also told NFL.com he did not expect a system change to be approved for next season, a sentiment that resounded throughout the competition committee.

“I don’t think people are for that,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “That’s just a matter of the things we talk about.”

Goodell also has raised the possibility of adding a wild-card team in each conference — a move that would likely ensure all 10-win teams make the postseason. The move would also raise revenue for NFL teams because it would add two more games to the television schedule.

Critics contend expansion would only water down the system. While Mara agrees with that argument, he acknowledged that an even a longtime critic of playoff expansion like himself is willing to listen to all of the options.

“I like the way it works right now and I would be a little nervous about watering it down,” he said. “We did have a situation this year where a 10-win team didn’t get in the playoffs and that’s tough to stomach. We were in that situation a few years ago, and (expansion) would pretty much ensure that didn’t happen.”

Arizona went 10-6 last season but missed the playoffs.

Rich McKay, the committee chairman, declined to talk about any possible rules changes, saying that it was “too early in the week.” No formal votes will be cast until the owner’s meetings next month in Orlando, Fla.

The Eagles came to town with heavy hearts and a good dose of determination. Longtime basketball media contact and sports information assistant Dick Kelley died last week after a two-year battle with ALS. His funeral was Tuesday and the Eagles, who often visited his apartment, were wearing “DK” patches on their uniforms.

“The patch on our chests, toward the end of the game it was like, ‘We can’t be denied. DK is looking down on us. He’s got us,”’ said R yan Anderson. “It’s real emotional. It’s really going to set in in a couple of hours.”

So they just focused on themselves.

The Americans gave them some help.

Meyers was first off the hill in the third run and a couple big mistakes — a bang into the wall here, a skid in a straightaway there — cost her time and opened the door.

Humphries and Moyse responded. The U.S. lead had been 0.23 seconds; after Canada-1’s third run, the margin was more than cut in half to 0.11 seconds.

All that was a wrap entering the final heat was the bronze, with Greubel and Evans 0.76 seconds away from second place entering Run 4, but with a cushion of 0.64 seconds between themselves and fourth.

Brandt Snedeker never led in his match against David Lynn of England. He halved the match with a par on the 17th hole, and then won in 20 holes when Lynn failed to birdie the easy par -5 second hole.

“When you get in enough of these games, there’s going to be one you’re not going to make a play. That’s what happens,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “At the end of games, you get into enough of these games, you’re not going to win.

“I’m really happy that we’ve won 25 games,” Boeheim said. “We can’t think about that. We’ve got to think about what we have to going forward. We’ve really got to get better, and I think we will. It’s been an unbelievable run, I’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s remarkable what they’ve done.”

T ied at 50 after two halves played at Boston College’s deliberate pace, Hanlan and Heckmann hit from long range to give BC a 56-52 lead with 2:56 left, but Tyler Ennis’ driving layup knotted the score at 56 with 2:09 to play.

France earned its first Alpine medals of the Sochi Olympics, with Steve Missilier producing the day’s top second leg to earn silver, 0.48 seconds behind Ligety. Alexis Pinturault got the bronze, another 0.16 back. Overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher of Austria was fourth, while Bode Miller was 20th in what was his last race of the Sochi Games — and, given that he’ll be

bronze. When they did that, the first to reach them to jump up and down and start the congratulatory party were Lolo Jones and Jazmine Fenlator, the USA-3 team, part of the “wolfpack” the women’s team had described themselves as repeatedly in recent weeks.

With that, the race was on for gold.

Humphries threw down a sizzling 57.92 in the fourth run to put the pressure on USA-1. And moments later, Meyers had another early skid in her final trip down the track, essentially deciding the gold.

For Jones, it was not the Olympics she dreamed about. Her third trip to the games — the first two as a hurdler, in Beijing and London — also ended without a medal, as she and Fenlator finished 11th in USA-3.

Manassero sent Luke Donald home after only 14 holes.

In other matches: — Rickie Fowler, coming off three straight missed cuts, caught Ian Poulter on a bad day and sent the R yder Cup star packing with a 2-and-1 victory.

“It feels like a big win after those missed cuts,” Fowler said. “It was nice to be the underdog. I had nothing to lose.”

— Jordan Spieth made backto-back birdies and then put away Pablo Larrazabal on the 18th hole when both drove into the same bunker. Larrazabal’s shot went 5 yards farther and was blocked by the lip. “That could easily have been me,” Spieth said.

— Bubba Watson was giving holes away early before winning three straight holes on the back

40 in 2018, probably of his Olympic career.

Miller, who has won a U.S.-record six Alpine medals, said other racers try to copy Ligety’s revolutionary style in the giant slalom, but “he’s so much better at it than everybody else.”

Ligety maintains momentum by fluidly linking his turns, one into the next, actually taking a longer path down the slope by steering so far from each gate. Opponents cut much closer to gates, but then lose valu-

able hundredths of a second each time they jerk their bodies in a different direction.

“He carries so much speed and doesn’t make mistakes. Those are the things that separate him,” Miller explained. “Other guys carry speed for a couple of turns and struggle a bit. He just carries it smooth from top to bottom.”

Asked whether Ligety could have been beaten, Missiller replied: “It is impossible. For me and, I think, for all racers.”

Jones clipped a hurdle to lose what would have been gold in Beijing and fought through injury to finish fourth in London, finding both results difficult to accept. At these games, going home without a medal was hardly her fault, as the push times for USA3 — which was not expected to be in medal contention — were hardly the problem.

As a few fans chanted their names, Fenlator and Jones both gave big waves, accompanied by wide smiles when it was over.

That alone seemed like victory for Jones, whose first two Olympic experiences ended in heartbreak.

And besides, Jones’ legacy on this Olympic team may be the fact that she was one of the biggest reasons why Williams came to bobsledding.

nine in a 2-and-1 win over Mikko Ilonen of Finland.

Still, no match epitomized the wild nature of this format than McDowell’s win over Woodland.

They live down the street from each other at Lake Nona. They practiced together last week. They flew out to Arizona together. And they had to play each other in the first round on a course where Woodland figured to have a big advantage with his length.

McDowell played a practice round with Brooks Koepka, the first alternate, to get used to being outdriven by some 50 yards.

His worst fears were realized.

Woodland already was 4 up through seven holes. McDowell pecked away at the lead, but still thought he had blown it when Woodland made his 8-foot birdie on the 15th hole, and McDowell

missed from 6 feet.

“I thought it was over,” McDowell said. “You’re not coming back from 3 down against a guy that’s playing as well as him. Yeah, I’m still going to try to hit my shots.

But it required a mistake from him to give me half a sniff, even.”

Woodland obliged. His shot on the par -3 16th sailed over the green, and it took two chips to get on the putting surface. Woodland had wedge into the 17th and pulled it well to the left. McDowell made a 12-foot birdie, and then squared the match when Woodland went from the left bunker to the right bunker on the 18th and conceded the hole.

One birdie later, it was over.

“It feels like a Sunday afternoon on Wednesday,” McDowell said.

Top 25 Capsules: Florida gets by Auburn GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Patric Young made a pair of free throws with 19 seconds left and Auburn threw the ball away on the ensuing inbounds play, helping Florida secure the 71-65 win.

The victory was Florida’s school-record 18th in a row and it kept the Gators (242, 13-0) perfect in Southeastern Conference play. It was also Florida’s 31st consecutive home victory.

Young led the Gators with 17 points and added seven rebounds. Tahj Shamsid-Deen led Auburn (12-12, 4-9) with 17 points.

No. 3 Wichita St. 88, Loyola of Chicago 74 CHICAGO (AP) — Fred VanVleet scored 22 points on per fect shooting and Wichita State beat Loyola of Chicago to become the only unbeaten team in major college basketball.

Wichita State and Syracuse began the day as the only Division I schools with per fect records. But the Orange lost 62-59 to Boston College in overtime, and the Shockers used an 11-2 run early in the second half to help close out the Ramblers.

Cleanthony Early scored 18 points as Wichita State became the 19th school to begin a season with 28 straight victories.

No. 7 Cincinnati 77, UCF 49 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Sean Kilpatrick hit six 3pointers and scored 23 points to help Cincinnati dominate Central Florida.

The Bearcats (24-3, 13-1 American Athletic) have won 17 of 18 going into their conference showdown with No. 11 Louisville on Saturday. Justin Jackson added 10 points and seven rebounds for Cincinnati, which beat UCF for the second time this season.

Central Florida’s offense struggled mightily in the first half, allowing Cincinnati to build an early 20point lead.

No. 10 St. Louis 89, George Mason 85, OT FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Jordair Jett scored 24 of his 25 points after halftime, Rob Loe hit two key 3pointers in overtime and St. Louis beat George Mason for its 18th straight win.

The Billikens (24-2, 11-0 Atlantic-10), playing as a top 10 team for the first time since Dec. 29, 1964, extended their schoolrecord winning streak and with No. 1 Syracuse and No. 3 Wichita State remained the only teams in the country without a road loss.

No. 11 Creighton 85, Marquette 70 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Doug McDermott scored 17 of his 25 points in the second half and Ethan Wragge added 22 to help Creighton beat Marquette in a foulplagued Big East game.

McDermott, who entered as the nation’s leading scorer at 25.9 points per game, scored seven points to trigger a deciding 10-2 run after Marquette had pulled within 64-59.

McDermott’s jumper from the free throw-line put the Bluejays (22-4, 12-2 Big East) up 74-61 with 4:39 left.

Creighton did not trail over the final 20 minutes after leading 42-35 at halftime.

No. 24 Ohio St. 76, Northwestern 60 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — LaQuinton Ross scored 16

points before being ejected because of a scuffle, leading Ohio State over Northwestern.

The fracas late in the game delayed play for several minutes while the officials deliberated penalties for the players. Northwester n’s Nikola Cerina also was ejected. The teams shot 10 free throws as a result of the shoving match.

Sablikova wins another gold in women’s 5,000

Roswell Daily Record

could do it again.”

The standings were a reversal of the 3,000, when Wust beat Sablikova to deny the Czech skater a shot at repeating as a double gold medalist in the two longest women’s events.

Sablikova was determined to hang on to her title in the 5,000, even dropping the 1,500 — an event she won bronze in four years ago — to focus her preparation fully on the final individual speedskating race of these games.

The strategy paid off.

“This was a real tough one, but that’s always the case in the 5k,” Wust said. “In the last few laps I was dying.”

That said, Wust was fine settling for silver, her fourth medal of the Sochi Olympics.

Unlike the 1,500, where she was a heavy favorite but lost to countrywoman Jorien ter Mors, there was no sense of a gold slipping from her grasp.

“Now I feel like I have won silver,” she said.

“In the 1,500 it felt like losing gold.”

The Dutch speedskaters have now won 21 medals overall, their single team producing more hardware than every country except Russia and the United States. They have won six of 10 events, swept the top three spots in four races, and will be big favorites to close the Olympics with two more golds in the team pursuit races, which would mean a fifth medal for Wust.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Martina Sablikova really wanted this gold medal.

Not even the Dutch were going to keep her off the top step of the podium.

Sablikova defended her Olympic title in the women’s 5,000 meters Wednesday, chasing down Ireen Wust to deny the Dutch a seventh speedskating gold.

“My feet hurt,” Sablikova said, “but I’m very happy.”

The 26-year-old from the Czech Republic set a track record at Adler Arena with a time of 6 minutes, 51.54 seconds.

It’s not like the Dutch didn’t show up.

They added two more medals to their record haul, as Wust took the silver in 6:54.28, while 35-year-old mother Carien Kleibeuker grabbed the bronze in 6:55.66 — then scooped up her 5-year-old daughter for a victory lap around the infield.

Racing against Sablikova in the seventh of eight pairs, Wust knew she had to push the pace early and hope to hang on. She built a 2 1/2-second lead but began to fade just past the midway point.

Sablikova went right on by — and never slowed up.

“When I saw my competitor was going ahead, I told myself, ‘Really, aren’t you going to get her?”’ Sablikova said. “It gave me extra energy. I wanted to prove to everyone that I

Russia’s snowboard couple medals together in Sochi

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Vic loves Alena. Alena loves Vic. Russia loves them both.

The edgy world of snowboarding took on a softer side Wednesday, weaving a Hollywood-ready story about love and marriage, gold and bronze, lifelong goals fulfilled amid just a touch of political intrigue.

Vic Wild, an American native who now competes for Russia, captured the Olympic gold medal in parallel giant slalom about 15 minutes after his wife, Russia’s Alena Zavarzina, won the bronze.

“For both of us to have success on the same day, it’s truly incredible,” Wild said. “I don’t know how this happened.”

It started five years ago while they were traveling in the same pack on the World Cup snowboard racing circuit. Vic, born and raised in White Salmon, Wash., competed for the United States. Alena, a native of Novosibirsk, rode for Russia.

“When I first met her, I

knew something was a little different, so I was very careful with how our relationship went,” Wild said.

“Very, very, very careful.”

Love bloomed. Zavarzina, the 2011 world champion, doesn’t enjoy sharing every little detail. “I’ll tell them when I’m old, in my memoir,” she said.

Meanwhile, parallel giant slalom — essentially Alpine racing on a snowboard — was going nowhere in America, even after its greatest moment in that country, the stirring bronze-medal victory of liver transplant survivor Chris Klug at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.

Financial support dwindled. Wild saw where things were headed and dreamed about how great it would be to ride for Russia.

Neither Wild, 27, nor Zavarzina, 24, considered themselves the marrying types. But that was the quickest way for Wild to gain citizenship and a chance to compete for a country that puts more money than America into

this more Europe-centric version of snowboarding.

So, they tied the knot in July 2011 in what Wild described as “a full-on Siberian wedding.”

“It was crazy and probably more stressful than today,” he said. “I was so scared. Walking into one building and thinking to myself, ‘Dude, you’re way too far away to run.’ I had to walk through. Best decision I ever made.”

The gold-medal payof f came on a sun-soaked afternoon on the mountain where hundreds of Russian fans chanted “Mo-Lo-Detz, Mo-Lo-Detz” — Russian for “Well Done” — every time Wild and Zavarzina came down the hill and won, which was a lot.

Parallel giant slalom starts with 16 riders bracketed based on qualifying times posted earlier in the day. From there, the headto-head racing consists of two trips down the mountain, with the fastest rider over the two heats advancing to the next round.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I’m a single mom in a serious relationship with a divorced man who has children of his own.

Between us, we have seven, ranging in age from 7 to 17. I’m in my early 30s; he’s in his early 50s.

My dilemma: I’m interested in having another child if we get married. He definitely isn’t.

Is it unreasonable for me to want to add to this already large potential blended family? I love the idea of experiencing motherhood again with a little more experience and age under my belt, and I’d love to share that intimacy with him. While he likes the abstract possibility of “our”

child, he says he feels too old now and he wouldn’t be able to be the kind of father he would want to be.

If neither of us had kids of our own, this would be a deal-breaker for me, but how do I know if my maternal longings are just the last, painful tickings of my biological clock, or a real desire that I’ll end up resenting him for if I ignore it and we stay together?

IS SEVEN ENOUGH? DEAR IS SEVEN ENOUGH?: Because your boyfriend is in his 50s and has made it clear that he isn’t interested in becoming a father again, I think you should count your many blessings and consider that seven is a lucky number. #####

DEAR ABBY: My godmother passed away in January 2011. My godfather, “Jim,” remarried last year. I am still mourning her loss and have not been able to get myself to call and speak to Jim, even though I did send him a congratulatory wedding card.

I love him. Jim is a wonderful,

COMICS

kind, attractive man. I knew it wouldn’t be long before another woman would take an interest in him or he’d find love again. My siblings have tried to get me to make contact with him, but I’m still not ready to accept that he has moved on with another woman. Please advise me.

CAN’T FACE IT IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR CAN’T FACE IT: I am sorry for your loss, and I’m sure your godmother will always live in your heart. However, if you love your godfather, you should be glad that he has been able to move forward in his life. That he was open to finding love again speaks volumes about the quality of the marriage he shared with your godmother.

Of course seeing Jim with someone else won’t be easy for you, but it is sad that you would sacrifice the special relationship you have with him because you are reluctant to face reality. For both of your sakes, I hope you’ll reconsider. If you do, you may find that you like the new lady in his life. #####

DEAR ABBY:

Is it ever appropriate for a diner to lick his/her fingers in public, like when eating finger food or barbecue? It drives me nuts! I equate it to a cat cleaning itself.

Family Circus

When I try to get the person in question to use a napkin, I’m looked at as if I’ve lost my mind! At the very least, our hands are covered with germs, and who wants to stick them in their mouth? Yecch.

GROSSED OUT IN OHIO

DEAR GROSSED OUT:

I think it depends upon the circumstances in which the food is being served. If someone is eating canapes at a cocktail party, licking the fingers is a no-no. And most barbecue joints provide moist towelettes to their patrons.

On the other hand, Col. Sanders used to call his fried chicken “finger lickin’ good.” At a picnic or informal gathering, it’s purr-fectly acceptable to lick one’s fingers, and I confess this tabby has probably done it, so I’m not going to cast aspersions.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: Can you WASH PILLOWS? I have foam pillows and was wondering if they can be washed.

J.T. in Kansas

Check the care labels on your pillows. Most can be washed on the gentle cycle. If possible, fill the washer with water and dissolve the detergent before putting in the pillows. Foam stuffing should be airdried and not put in the dryer.

Some feather and other pillows can be put in the dryer. Most important is checking the care labels to see what the manufacturer recommends and following those instructions.

Dear Heloise: When I make a sandwich, I have switched from using a knife to a spoon. When I scoop mayo or jelly with a knife, I have to keep scooping because the knife hardly gets anything out of the jar. With a spoon, I can scoop more out, and I just turn the spoon over and spread the mayo, etc., with the back of the spoon.

Fiona in Kansas Dear Heloise: My husband and I recently bought our first home, which is a fixer-upper. We are doing many repairs ourselves. Do you have an easy, eco-friendly way of removing old wallpaper?

Kelly P. in New Mexico

I do, and it’s probably in your kitchen right now: vinegar! Mix equal parts vinegar and water, and put the mixture in a spray bottle.

Spray the wallpaper until wet.

Allow the solution to sit on the wallpaper for at least 10 minutes, then watch as you wipe away the wallpaper with the solution.

Another great, eco-friendly use for vinegar, one of my favorite household products! I love it so much that I wrote a pamphlet with numerous hints and recipes. You can order it by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Remove price tags from hard surfaces like glass or china the same way, by “painting” them with vinegar until wet and then wiping away.

Dear Heloise: I used to work in a shopping center. When I went to work, I carried a smaller purse with a long strap on it. When I walked and had a coat on, I put my purse on my shoulder, then put my coat on.

No one could see it or grab it. And if I had to get in it, I still could reach into it.

Barbara M., Highland, Ind. Dear Heloise: I take several different medications — each has to be taken at a different time of day. Frankly, I sometimes looked at the bottles of medicine, trying to remember which ones I had taken. I devised a solution. At the beginning of the day, I stand the bottles up in a certain spot. Whenever I take a pill, I lay the bottle down on its side. No more guessing or worrying!

Martin’s legal options limited

MIAMI (AP) — The legal options for offensive lineman Jonathan Martin may be limited under workplace discrimination and harassment laws because an NFL-ordered investigation found that neither Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin nor the Miami Dolphins’ top executives knew about the bullying he endured, labor law experts say.

Martin told Ted Wells, the investigator appointed by the NFL, that he never reported repeated harassment at the hands of fellow lineman Richie Incognito and two others.

Wells found that Martin “did his best to honor” an unwritten “Judas” code against snitching on fellow players.

Because his employer was apparently unaware of the problems, it would be more difficult for Martin to win a workplace harassment lawsuit against the team, said Miami labor attorney Michael Landen. And in some cases, Martin seemed to go along in a bid to fit in.

“He seemed to participate and he didn’t report it to anyone at the Dolphins. When he did report it, the Dolphins took immediate action by suspending Incognito,” Landen said Wednesday. “They have some strength to their case because they did have procedures in place and upon reporting it they took immediate action.”

Indeed, the Wells report found the Dolphins had clear, written policies against workplace harassment or

Legals

discrimination and that Philbin “embraced this philosophy and frequently reminded the team to be respectful” throughout the season.

The team’s policy said harassment included “jokes, comments and antics; generalizations and putdowns; pornographic or suggestive literature and language.” And the policy extended to texts and emails.

The report also found no basis to believe allegations that the Dolphins management encouraged Incognito’s actions in an effort to “toughen up” the 6-foot-5, 312-pound Martin.

Incognito and others, the report said, threatened to rape Martin’s sister, called him a long list of racial slurs and bullied him for not being “black enough,” among other things.

Incognito’s attorney has denied that his client or any other Dolphin offensive linemen bullied Martin.

If Martin did pursue legal action, University of Miami law professor David Abraham said the remedies are limited. Workers in discrimination and harassment cases frequently seek reinstatement to their jobs and back pay, he said. In Martin’s case, the Dolphins continued to honor their contract with him after he abruptly left the team in October.

“There is no issue of back pay, because the Dolphins did not withhold any of his contracted salary,” Abraham said. But, he added, there’s clear evidence of harassment. “When you leave your job,

that’s a pretty clear demonstration of a hostile workplace.”

Getting a job back on the football field is another matter. Martin told Wells he hopes to play in the NFL again, but it’s an open question whether the Dolphins would welcome him back given the controversy over the bullying case. Landen said Martin could negotiate a financial settlement with the Dolphins in return for his release, making him a free agent who could sign with any other team.

Simply releasing him could be viewed as employer retaliation, he added.

“If the Dolphins cut Martin, they better be able to demonstrate it’s because of inabilities on the field or their actions are really going to be under the microscope,” Landen said. “That could expose them to some liability.”

Martin’s attorney, David Cornwell, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Just as long-term mental problems by former players focused renewed attention on concussions in the NFL, Abraham predicted the Martin case would lead the league to adopt more stringent policies against similar locker room antics despite football’s status as a gladiator -like sport. Simply ignoring harassment as the expected product of a tough-guy atmosphere isn’t going to cut it, he said.

Roswell Daily Record

So much new for Fielder in first Rangers workout SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — When a grounder ricocheted off Prince Fielder’s mitt during his first workout with the Texas Rangers, he quickly held it up and proclaimed with a smile, “It’s new.”

So much is new this spring for the All-Star slugger. He’s in Arizona for spring training, not Florida. He has a No. 84 on the back of his uniform, not No. 28. And he is on a new team.

“It felt good. It was a lot of fun,” Fielder said. “Nice easy day, I had a lot of fun meeting my new teammates. So yeah, I’m excited.”

Fielder joined other veteran Rangers players on the field for more than an hour Wednesday, taking grounders and some batting practice on the day before the first official fullsquad workout. It was also the first day in camp for shortstop Elvis Andrus, who was also part of the session.

After cutting off his dreadlocks during the offseason and going through some mixed martial arts workouts, Fielder appears trim. Asked he if had lost any weight, Fielder chuckled and said he didn’t know for sure since he doesn’t allow any scales in his house.

“I feel great. Lost a couple of pounds cutting the hair, so that helps,” he said. “I just want to be athletic and not carry around so much weight. ... I have no idea what it is, but I think I lost something. I definitely lost something.”

The Rangers acquired Fielder from Detroit in November in exchange for All-Star second baseman Ian Kinsler. Fielder was only two seasons into a $214 million, nine-year contract he signed with the Tigers before the 2012 season, when the Rangers also became interested in him.

Texas manager Ron Washington reiterated his plan to have Fielder batting third, after Andrus and before Adrian Beltre, who led the American League with 199 hits last season.

“Prince Fielder, he’s always been the protector, now I’m going to make him the protectee,” Washington said.
