Internal BLM memo shows mustang woes

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The head of the government’s $70 million wild-horse management program warned last summer that it is headed for financial collapse unless “drastic changes” are made in the decades-old roundup policy she said could be setting U.S. rangeland-improvement goals back 20 years.

In a strongly worded internal memo to an assistant director of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Wild Horse and Burro Division Chief Joan Guilfoyle recommended suspending all roundups until thousands of mustangs currently in federal corrals are sold or adopted.

Guilfoyle also said sterilization should be considered, and she recommend-

ed for the first time euthanizing wild horses on the range “as an act of mercy if animals decline to near death condition as a result of declining water and forage resources.”

Those are among the few realistic alternatives given a crippling combination of congressional budget cuts, spiraling costs, lingering drought, a record 49,000 mustangs in long- and short-term holding, and an on-range population that doubles every four years and is expected to surpass 60,000 in 2015, Guilfoyle said.

It’s “nearing the point of financial insolvency due to undesirable trends in every aspect of the program,” she said in the August memo to Greg Shoop, assistant

director for renewable resources and planning.

“Drastic changes in course are mandatory to remain financially solvent and reverse trends” undermining the Bureau of Land Management’s goals, she wrote. “Considering the circumstances, on-range management goals may not be achieved for another 20 years.”

Labeled “Internal Working Document,” the Texasbased Wild Horse Freedom Federation obtained the memo under the Freedom of Information Act and first posted it on its website Wednesday. The Associated Press also independently obtained a copy Wednesday but couldn’t confir m its authenticity until Friday.

Survey: Number of young farmers in state is on the rise

LAS CRUCES (AP) — A new gover nment survey shows New Mexico has more farms and ranches than it did five years ago.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture survey also shows the state has seen significant increases in the number of young and minority farmers in recent years.

State Agriculture Secretary Jef f Witte said he’s glad to see a wider diversity of people getting into farming and ranching across the state. That diversity will help create more opportunity, he said.

“I’m proud of the increased numbers of young and beginning farmers and ranchers in the state, which assures us that agriculture will continue to be a major economic driver in New Mexico for

years to come,” Witte said.

The 2012 agriculture census shows there are more than 24,700 farms and ranches in New Mexico, an 18 percent increase since 2007. That bucks a long-term national trend that has seen the number of U.S. farms drop. Meanwhile, the amount of land for farming in the state has remained steady at about 43.2 million acres.

The survey also found that the number of minority-operated farms rose in the last five years, especially in the Hispanic community. The number of Hispanic-operated far ms climbed from approximately 6,400 to more than 9,300.

All Saints Mardi Gras Simmons keeps arts flowing in Roswell schools event returns March 1 RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

A Roswell tradition continues Saturday when the 20th annual All Saints Catholic School’s Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance returns to the Roswell Convention & Civic Center.

“Our Mardi Gras event is a lot of fun for the community,” said Larie Garrett, president of the All Saints Catholic School School Board. The event is not limited to school families or church members, Garrett said, but is open to the entire Roswell community.

“This is the 20th year for our dinner, and it is incredible the way it has grown,” said Bertha Reyes, a teacher at All Saints who has attended the Mardi Gras event every year since 1994.

“In the beginning, it was

just a potluck dinner before Lent.”

Reyes said the dinner has grown in popularity over the years. “It’s been a lot of fun turning the dinner into a tradition,” Reyes said.

Garrett said this year’s silent auction is going to feature some very special items — including guitars signed by Bruce Springsteen and members of The Eagles, autographed movie posters from “Rocky” and “The Hunger Games” and even autographed sheet music from One Direction.

“We have partnered with a charity fundraising firm to offer these memorabilia items in the silent auction,” Garrett said. There will also be local items from numerous local businesses that are longtime supporters of See MARDI GRAS, Page A3

Cindy Simmons is more than just an educator — she’s an advocate of the arts, and the moving force behind the Roswell Independent School District’s Creative Learning Center.

As director of the CLC, Simmons oversees a group of 10 teachers who spend their days traveling between the district’s 12 elementary and middle schools, bringing art education to Roswell’s children.

“We want our children to experience creativity and we want them to have an authentic artistic experience,” Simmons said.

To that end, the Creative Learning Center is part teaching lab, part art supply warehouse, and totally unique.

The mission of the Elementary Arts Integration Program, “Arts Connect,” is to enhance learning for students from kindergarten to the sixth grade and their teachers through opportunities for creative growth in dance, music, theater, and visual arts.

Ten certified teachers endorsed in performing arts and visual arts provide weekly 45-minute lessons to all the elementary school children as well as sixth-grade students, Simmons said. The CLC also provides numerous annual events to showcase the art and talent of its students.

The biggest annual event is the Celebrate the Arts Day, which is held at the Roswell Convention See SIMMONS, Page A3

Local Jesse Moore was recently recognized as the Citizen of the Year during the Department of Health’s Developmental Disabilities Supports Division (DDSD) annual statewide awards ceremony, according to a release from Tobosa Developmental Services.

Moore has been part of Tobosa for more than 10 years and during that time, has shown great potential, the organization said. When he is not being the social butterfly that he is, Moore spends his time working at Papa Murphy’s and volunteering at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Roswell. The last two years have also brought further opportunities, testing his freedom and independence.

In early 2013, Moore made the transition from Tobosa’s Adult Services Program to full-fledged independent living.

On Dec. 12, 2013, Jesse was invited to attend the DDSD awards ceremony and when the final award was announced, the Citizen of the Year award, it was Moore’s name that was called.

According to the organization, Moore’s success story is just one of many Tobosa witness-

and Civic Center. This year, the event will be held on March 29.

The art teachers, whose home base is at the Creative Learning Center, travel to all elementary schools each week to bring their visual and performing arts lessons to all K-5 students.

Special arts experiences are planned during the school year for sixthgraders. The lessons are designed to not only meet the NM Arts Standards and Benchmarks, but to integrate Arts Concepts into the other core curriculum, Simmons said.

The art teachers return to the CLC to restock their supplies as well as to work on new art lessons, and Simmons is notably proud of the quality of supplies the CLC provides for the students.

“We use actual art supplies, we have quality paints and paper because we want the children to have an authentic arts experience,” Simmons said.

The CLC, and ultimately Simmons’ job as director of the CLC, came from the vision of one very insightful teacher.

“This program was really the vision of Elaine Howe,” Simmons said. “Elaine started experimenting with art and teaching through art over 10 years ago.”

Simmons was one of those teachers who took to the concept of “teaching through art” early on.

“If it wasn’t for the wonderful music and performing arts departments at Eastern New Mexico University, I never would have made it through college,” Simmons said. Simmons said she had anticipated a career as a musician and was planning on escaping Roswell, her hometown, as soon as possible. But her love of music and theater kept her in school.

Her mother was a teacher in Roswell, and Simmons said she never

2012 came to $2.6 billion, a 17 percent jump from 2007.

“Part of what we are seeing is that more farmers and ranchers in New Mexico are taking the time to fill out the census as they understand the importance of having data that reflects agriculture trends in their communities,” New Mexico State Statistician Longino Bustillos said.

According to the USDA, a

imagined that she would grow up to follow in her mother’s footsteps. “But when I stood in front of that first kindergarten class, that was it. I knew this was what I wanted to do,” Simmons recalled with a laugh.

Simmons has been a teacher and administrator in the Roswell school district for nearly 30 years, and came into the directorship of the CLC when that position came open in 2008.

“The director job for the Creative Learning Center was open, so I thought, ‘why not?’ I really believe that there is a higher power, and you wind up going where you’re supposed to be.”

When she was a young teacher, Howe’s experiments in teaching through art made an impact on Simmons that she never forgot. Now, she is overseeing a team of professionals who make “teaching through art” a daily reality for more than 5,000 children.

“It’s all about the ‘36 inches,’” Simmons said, referring to the height of a child. “Everything we do is about getting through to those children, and giving them the tools to be creative.”

Simmons credits Superintendent Tom Burris and the school board with keeping the arts program vibrant within the district.

“Mr. Burris is an artist himself, and he appreciates the importance of arts in education,” she said.

Gretchen Phillips, the CLC arts integration facilitator, said Simmons deserves some credit for the program’s success as well.

“Without Cindy, I don’t know that we could all keep going,” Phillips said.

“She is a wonderful leader, and her enthusiasm is contagious.”

One popular silent auction tradition is the decorated crosses created by each class of students, Garrett said.

“Not only is this our 20th year, this year the dinner also falls on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday, which is the traditional last day of Mardi Gras before Ash Wednesday,” Garrett said.

“There aren’t that many venues in Roswell where adults can go out and dance and have fellowship, without going to a bar,” she said. “There will be a cash bar available at the dance, but the event is held in the Roswell Civic Center, which is a wonderful venue.”

The crowning of the King and Queen of Mardi Gras is also a highlight of

the evening. Last year’s King and Queen were Adam and Cassi Rincon, and Garrett said there will be a number of past Kings and Queens vying for this year’s title since this is the 20th anniversary of the event.

Principal Scott Schoen said he attended the event last year for the first time, “It was a blast,” he said. “I have already had people calling asking when the Mardi Gras dinner is going to be held.

“I also have relatives who were here last year and they enjoyed the dinner so much they are flying in from Minnesota again this year to attend.”

“We really want to thank our sponsors,” Garrett said. “We have such wonderful support here in the community, it is a real blessing to the school to have so many great supporters, not only for the Mardi Gras dinner, but for the school as well.”

The evening will feature a catered Cajun dinner

Tymoshenko rallies protesters in Kiev

Roswell Daily Record

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — In a stunning reversal of fortune, Ukrainian opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko left imprisonment Saturday and spoke to a massive, adoring crowd, while her arch-foe President Viktor Yanukovych decamped to easter n Ukraine and vowed he would remain in power.

Protesters took control of the presidential administration building and thousands of curious and contemptuous Ukrainians roamed the suddenly open grounds of the lavish compound outside Kiev where Yanukovych was believed to live. Parliament, which he controlled as recently as a day earlier but is now emboldened against him, on Saturday called for his removal and for elections May 25.

But on Yanukovych said he regards the parliament as now illegitimate and he won’t respect its decisions.

The political crisis in the nation of 46 million, strategically important for Europe, Russia and the

States, has United changed with blinding speed repeatedly in the past week. First there were signs that tensions were easing, followed by horrifying violence and then a deal signed under Western pressure that aimed to resolve the conflict but left the unity of the country in question.

Tymoshenko, whose diadem of blond peasant braids and stirring rhetoric attracted world attention in the 2004 Orange Revolution, was both sad and excited as she spoke to a crowd of about 50,000 on Kiev’s Independence Square, where a sprawling protest tent camp was set up in December. Sitting in a wheelchair because of a back problem aggravated during imprisonment, her voice cracked and her face was careworn.

But her words were vivid, praising the protesters who were killed this week in clashes with police that included sniper fire and entreating the living to keep the camp

going.

“You are heroes, you are the best thing in Ukraine!” she said of the victims.

The Health Ministry on Saturday said the death toll in clashes between protesters and police that included sniper attacks had reached 82.

And she urged the demonstrators not to yield their encampment in the square, known in Ukrainian as the Maidan.

“In no case do you have the right to leave the Maidan until you have concluded everything that you planned to do,” she said.

The crowd was thrilled.

“We missed Yulia and her fire so much,” said demonstrator Yuliya Sulchanik. Minutes after her release, Tymoshenko said she plans to run for president, and Sulchanik said “Yulia will be the next pr esident — she deserves it.”

His authority in Kiev appeared to be eroding by the hour.

Yanukovych spoke on television in Kharkiv, the heartland of his base of support and ironically the city wher e same Tymoshenko was impris-

“Everything that is happening today is, to a greater degree, vandalism and banditry and a coup d’etat,” he said. “I will do everything to protect my

protesting, Sinaloa cartel boss ‘Chapo’ Rallies in support of govt Guzman captured in Mexico gripping Venezuela MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican authorities captured the world’s most powerful drug lord in a resort city Saturday after a massive search through the home state of the legendary capo whose global organization is the leading supplier of cocaine to the United States.

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, 56, looked pudgy, bowed and much like his wanted photos when he arrived in Mexico City from Mazatlan in Sinaloa state. He was marched by masked marines across the airport tar mac to a helicopter waiting to whisk him to jail.

Marines arrested Guzman at 6:40 a.m. in a high-rise condominium fronting the Pacific without firing a single shot.

Mexican officials late Saturday said he was apprehended with a man identified as Carlos Manuel Hoo Ramirez, contradicting earlier reports that he was arrested with a woman.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is escorted to a helicopter in handcuffs by Mexican navy marines at a navy hanger in Mexico City, Saturday.

Enforcement Administration and the Marshals Service were “heavily involved” in the capture.

Another federal law enforcement official said intelligence from a Homeland Security Department investigation also helped lead U.S. and Mexican authorities to his whereabouts.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to

journalists.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the capture a “victory for the citizens of both Mexico and the United States.”

Mexican authorities, based on a series of arrests in recent months, got wind that Guzman was moving around Culiacan, capital of his home state for which the cartel is named.

Mexican Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam

described an operation that took place between Feb. 13 and 17 focused on seven homes connected by tunnels and to the city’s sewer system.

He said they had Guzman in their sights several times during that period but were unable to mount an operation earlier because of possible risks to the general public. The house doors were reinforced with steel, which delayed entry by law enforcement, presumably allowing Guzman to flee several attempts at his capture before Saturday.

A U.S. law enforcement official said members of Guzman’s security team helped Mexican and U.S. authorities find him after they were arrested earlier this month. The official was not authorized to discuss details of the case by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Guzman faces multiple federal drug trafficking indictments in the U.S. and is on the DEA’s mostwanted list.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelans on both sides of the nation’s bitter political divide took to the streets on Saturday after two weeks of mass protests that have President Nicolas Maduro scrambling to squash an increasingly militant opposition movement.

In Caracas, tens of thousands of opponents of President Nicolas Maduro filled several city blocks in their biggest rally to date against his 10-month-old government. Across town, at the presidential palace, Maduro addressed a muchsmaller crowd of mostly female supporters dressed in the red of his socialist party.

The dueling protests capped a violent week in which the gover nment jailed Leopoldo Lopez, a fiery hard-liner who roused the opposition following its defeat in December’s mayoral elections, and dozens of other student activists.

The violence has left at least 10 people dead on both sides and injured more than 100.

A few small clashes that erupted between government opponents and state security forces after the opposition rally broke up were visually impressive, but resulted in only five injuries.

In a pattern seen in past demonstrations, dozens of stragglers erected barricades of trash and other debris and threw rocks and bottles at police and National Guardsmen.

Troops responded with volleys of tear gas and rubber bullets to prevent the students from reaching a highway.

There were also clashes in San Cristobal, a remote city on the western border with Colombia that has seen some of the worst violence, but most opposition marches across the country ended peacefully.

The protests claimed their 10th fatality, when a 23-year-old student in the provincial city of Valencia was pronounced dead Saturday after an eight-hour surgery for brain injuries suffered at a demonstration earlier in the week.

OPINION

Back to the past: Not a winning formula for GOP

Kathleen Willey is back. For people who have forgotten, she is the former volunteer aide to President Bill Clinton who claims he sexually harassed her 20 years ago. She wrote a book about it called “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

What, you say you didn’t read it? Neither, it seems, did most of America, which long ago yawned at Bill Clinton’s exploits and Hillary’s apparent enabling of his extramarital liaisons.

Willey is telling anyone who will listen that “Hillary Clinton is the real war on women” because of the way she treated her and the other women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.

Remember “bimbo eruptions,” a term coined by Clinton aide Betsey Wright, who was charged with monitoring them and then discrediting accusers?

On WABC’s Aaron Klein radio show (as reported on the conservative website WND.com), Willey said this about Hillary Clinton: “The point is what this woman is

capable of doing to other women while she’s running a campaign basically on women’s issues. ...

She singlehandedly orchestrated every one of the investigations of all these women (who accused her husband of sexual crimes).

They’re the people reminding us of how sordid this all is.”

Willey vowed to “go back to all the sordid details” if Hillary Clinton runs in 2016.

Is this strategy likely to sway many, if any, female votes? I doubt it. People long ago made their judgments on the Clintons and decided his (and her) behavior about infidelity was a private matter. Besides, the rules — such as they are — about most matters

involving sex, at least for some liberals — are even looser now than they were 20 years ago.

If conservatives and Republicans think resurrecting this old news will bring them electoral victory against Hillary Clinton, should she decide to run, they are mistaken. Dredging up the past may help them raise money, but it won’t raise Republican votes. In fact, such a strategy could backfire as Mrs. Clinton would again be portrayed as a victim by a sympathetic media.

Having forgiven her husband, those mean Republicans want to “assault” her again.

Republicans have a lot of problems, but chief among them is that they are known more for what they are against. They hate President Obama, Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Some Republicans don’t even like each other. What and who do they like? What are they for?

Where are examples of their policies working — creating jobs, improving lives, lowering deficits and taxes, cutting spending and

reducing the size and reach of government? (Hint: States have the answer, not Washington.)

The number of electoral votes needed to win a presidential election is 270. Electoral votes for Republican presidential candidates have steadily declined since Ronald Reagan’s impressive 1984 victory over Walter Mondale. In that blowout election, Reagan carried 49 out of the 50 states and received a record 525 electoral votes out of a possible 538.

It’s been downhill for Republicans ever since.

Peter Wehner, former deputy director to the president and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, writes in Commentary magazine: “Out of the last six presidential elections, four have gone to the Democratic nominee, at an average yield of 327 electoral votes to 210 for the Republican. During the preceding two decades, from 1968 to 1988, Republicans won five out of six elections, averaging 417 electoral votes to the Democrats’ 113.” The country’s changing demographics

play a part. “White voters, who traditionally and reliably favor the GOP, have gone from 89 percent of the electorate in 1976 to 72 percent in 2012.” And the numbers continue to decline for the GOP. Democrats now hold sway over what CNN.com dubbed the “blue wall — the cluster of eastern, Midwest and western states that have traditionally gone Democratic.” These blue states, along with the District of Columbia, total 242 electoral votes.

Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and the rest of those “wronged women” are not the key to electoral success for Republicans. Neither is a complete focus on bashing Hillary Clinton. It might make certain conservative Republicans feel good, but it won’t win them the White House in 2016.

EDITORIAL

Recalling the Stimulus that really wasn’t Five years ago this week, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The $787 billion economic stimulus package — which actually ended up costing the taxpayers $840 billion — was supposed to grow the U.S. economy, while creating millions of jobs.

Republicans strenuously objected to the Obama stimulus. It “sets up near-perfect conditions for waste, fraud and abuse,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, warned at the time.

Meanwhile, 200 conservative and libertarian economists, including several Nobel laureates, signed their names to a full-page newspaper advertisement declaring, “We the undersigned do not believe that more government spending is the way to improve economic performance.”

President Obama attributed GOP opposition to his stimulus package to partisan politics. He dismissed the conservative and libertarian economists as purveyors of “false theories of the past.”

Five years later, the record shows that stimulus spending was rife with waste, fraud and abuse, as Sen. Murkowski and her fellow Republicans warned in 2009.

And, as the conservative and libertarian economists foresaw, the Obama stimulus did not yield the promised improvements in the nation’s economic performance.

Indeed, government auditors say at least $8.1 billion in stimulus spending could have been more efficient (which is government-speak for “money was wasted”).

Meanwhile, federal investigators have proven 1,268 cases of fraud associated with the Act, with another 1,550 criminal investigations ongoing.

As to economic growth, President Obama’s White House National Economic Council promised that the 2009 stimulus would grow the nation’s gross domestic product by 3.7 percent and increase payroll employment by 3.6 million jobs by the fourth quarter of 2010.

As it turned out, GDP increased by 2.7 percent from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the fourth quarter of 2010, which was less than the two-thirds of the economic growth predicted by the president’s National Economic Council. And the economy produced 1.1 million jobs from December 2009 to December 2010, less than a third of the administration projection.

On Saturday, some 1,500 students from all over the world gathered to discuss freedom at the Students for Liberty Conference in Washington, D.C. Economist Donald Boudreaux showed the students a department store catalog from 1958 to underscore how the free market, while contributing to income inequality, also dramatically improved the lives of the poor: “The typical American worker back then had to work 30 hours to buy this vacuum cleaner. Today, a worker has to work only six hours to buy a much better vacuum cleaner. And that’s true for clothing, food, all sorts

of things.”

That’s how free markets work: quietly, gradually improving things. That doesn’t always appeal to impatient young people — or to radical old people who fancy themselves social engineers who should shape the world.

Such social engineering is

revered on campuses. A student from Quebec complained that economists about whom his fellow students learn are “Keynesians, who believe that breaking windows is good for the economy, or neoclassicals, who believe in unrealistic assumptions like perfect competition and perfect information.”

If there were a part of America for which the American students at this conference felt a special pride, it was the Constitution. “The Constitution of the United States is a promise about how government power will be used,” Timothy Sandefur, author of “The Conscience of the Constitution,” told them.

“A promise was left to us by a generation who lived under tyrannical gover nment and decided they needed a framework that would preserve the blessings of liberty.”

These students appreciated that inheritance, although they said the Constitution is rarely discussed at their schools.

They surprised me by knowing the correct answer to my question: How often is the word “democracy” used in the Constitution?

Answer: never. The founders understood that democracy may bring mob rule — tyranny of a majority. So the Constitu-

See STOSSEL, Page A5

As the White House acknowledged the five-year anniversary of enactment of the Obama stimulus, it issued a report that supposedly “affirms that the Recovery Act had a substantial impact on the economy” and “helped to avert a second Great Depression.”

We think the report disingenuous, an alltoo-obvious attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m recovering from an episode of low back pain. How quickly (or slowly) should I resume my normal activities? I don’t want to reinjure my back.

DEAR READER: You’re right: It’s a balancing act. Too rapid a return may precipitate a relapse, but too timid a return can delay — or even prevent — recovery. I can’t give you a definitive answer because I don’t know the details of your condition. But here’s some general advice.

— Pain is a warning sign. Let your symptoms be your guide.

Avoid doing anything that hurts.

If you feel pain, stop the offending activity.

ASK DR. K UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

— Avoid twisting your trunk or making sudden of f-balance movements. T ry to rid your house of clutter that can trip you up. Slippery surfaces and throw rugs are notorious for causing falls. Lifting objects while your body is in an awkward position can also cause problems.

— Exercise regularly. After an episode of low back pain, resume exercise. Do it at a much lower level of intensity and duration than what you were doing before your injury. Many conditions that cause low back pain are made worse by exercises that jar the spine, such as jogging. Exercises that don’t jar the spine — swimming, walking or bicycle riding (either stationary or regular) — should become part of your regular exercise routine.

Why exercise? Most often, low back pain is caused by conditions of the spine and the muscles around it. The muscles that lie along the spine, and muscles in the wall of your abdomen,

protect your spine. Build strength in those muscles. Do it slowly over several months.

Stretching exercises also are important. A common cause of low back pain is muscles that have not been strengthened and stretched by regular exercise.

When those muscles are challenged by some activity — like carrying a heavy object — they are easily injured.

Stretching and strengthening exercises that target both your back muscles and abdominal muscles not only will help treat any existing low back pain; they will also help prevent a recurrence of the problem. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve

put descriptions and illustrations of several back-strengthening exercises.) Stop the exercises if you experience any pain.

— Hold on to good habits.

During your episode of low back pain, you may have found yourself instinctively moving more cautiously: bending your knees when picking something up, carrying objects close to your body to minimize leverage on your back, and sitting down and getting up more carefully. Try to turn these back-saving maneuvers into lifelong habits. Practices such as these can help keep your back injury-free.

Because of someone who came before you OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

Have you ever stopped to wonder how much of your life is impacted because of someone who came before you? Individuals who have come before you have impacted your life in more ways than you can count.

For example, America is about freedom. Because of those who came before you, you experience daily freedoms in the life you live.

Using a definition of “freedom,” America is a country “founded on the ability to act freely. A state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any undue restraints or restrictions.”

Our freedoms are broad, thanks to those who have come before us. Over two centuries ago our Founding Fathers created a Constitution and a Bill of Rights to provide for widespread freedoms. They desired to make freedoms a cornerstone of our country.

Countless lives have been lost over the years to protect the freedoms our Founding Fathers put in place. Many wars have been fought (and continue to be fought) to allow our freedoms to continue.

Although our freedoms are broad, our freedoms end when they interfere with the freedoms of the one next to us. In college I remember a professor telling the class that we can stand on a

JUST A THOUGHT

street corner and wave our arm in a circle over and over and over again and no one will stop us because we have the freedom to do so. But as soon as another person comes into our zone and our arm strikes another, our ability to swing our arm becomes restricted because it is interfering with the freedoms of another.

We have also lost freedoms because of ones who have gone before us.

Our freedoms are reduced when one who comes before us takes bad actions. A suicide pilot flies a plane into a building in New York City and, twelve years later, my life is still being impacted. Each time I go to the airport I have to allow an extra 30 minutes to get through security. When I have to take off my shoes, remove my belt, unpack my laptop, and empty my pockets, I think of those who have come before me.

Because of bad actions by people who have come before me, I have to pay a price. In other words, actions by bad people have nega-

tive consequences on innocent people.

Someone carries a weapon into a professional sporting event so now I can no longer take a backpack into a ball game. Someone fires a gun in a courtroom and now I have to empty my pockets and remove my belt to enter a courthouse.

In each of these instances, my life is impacted and my freedoms are reduced because of ones that have come before me.

Look at any company’s policies and procedures handbook. There are a whole set of rules to keep the current staf f from taking advantage of the employer.

Someone took too long of a vacation, someone repeatedly got to work late, and someone repeatedly took too long breaks. So, rules are made for those who follow after. People who make bad choices lead to rules for people who make good choices.

Actions by some bring consequences for others. This can be frustrating because we each try to control our world. There are many things that you can control in this world, there are many things in this world you cannot control. An argument could be made that as soon as man is able he tries to control the world around him. A newborn baby cries to gain attention so another can take care of him. In the

Elated Espinoza gets two bills passed in final hours

SANTA FE — In the final hours of the legislative session Thursday, two of Rep. Nora Espinoza’s bills (R - Chaves and Lincoln) passed the House and Senate and now await Governor Martinez’ signature.

Require Newborn Infant Heart Disease Testing, HB9, passed both houses unanimously.

The Pharmacy Benefit Manager Act, HB 126, passed with only one opposition vote in the Senate.

“I couldn’t be happier,” said Espinoza.

“These bills are very important to my constituents.”

With passage of HB9, newborn heart disease in New Mexico will be discovered immediately. Use of a pulse oximiter measures the oxygen saturation levels of an infant’s arterial blood. Hospitals will be required to perform the testing on every newborn baby.

In New Mexico, it is estimated that 243 infants per year are born with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Requiring that all newborns be tested for CCHD will

tion focuses on restricting government — to secure individual liberty.

If anything, these students were stauncher in their defense of liberty than the Founders.

Kelly Kidwell, a sophomore from Tulane University, said, “Regardless of what its intent was, we still have the (big) government that we have now — so the Constitution has either provided for that government, or failed to prevent it.”

That’s an argument that libertarian economist Murray Rothbard used to make. He took the pessimistic view that the Constitution’s “limited government” was an experiment that had already failed, since 200 years later, government was barely limited at all. He concluded that libertarians should be not just constitutionalists but anarchists — get rid of

process, he is controlling those around him just as an elderly woman may cry in desperation seeking to motivate another to take action for her. The list of things we can’t control is long.

When we are in a hurry to get somewhere, we can’t change the red lights that constantly slow us down. We can’t control the weather. There are days we must navigate snow and ice. We can slow down our bodies’ aging process, but we can’t stop it.

Bottom line, our world is one of controlling and accepting. We move back and forth between the two and we live in stressful times struggling between what we should accept and what we believe we should try to control.

Much of this tension is a result of ones who have come before us.

It would be impossible to quantify the sleep that has been lost because of things beyond our control. A terrorist attack, a drunk driver, a school shooting, a child abuser, a neighborhood stabbing. We live in anxious times with fears of things that may occur that are beyond our control.

Understand we are the first ones to live in this time. We wake in the world today with a world that has been shaped by those who have come before us. We benefit because of the acts of some and we pay the price for the

A7

acts of others.

Ironically, broken down to its most basic level, none of us would even exist except for two individuals who came before us.

My challenge to you today is threefold. First, find a healthy balance between the world you can control and the world you can’t. Don’t lose your quality of life because of worrying over things you can’t control.

Second, be grateful for those who have come before you and who have left behind a world that you can enjoy and experience.

Do your best to not lose sleep over the ones who have caused your freedoms to be reduced.

Third and most importantly, understand that you are now “someone who comes before others.” You will leave behind an impact on those who follow you.

Leave behind a better world than you entered.

Our lives are forever changed because of those who come before us. Change the lives that come after you by leaving behind a better world.

allow treatment to start early on if needed.

“This legislation is going to save the lives of babies,” said Espinoza.

The second bill, HB126, will benefit New Mexico pharmacies, especially the “momand-pops,” by addressing licensing and regulating of the unregulated industry, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

PBMs are companies that contract with states, insurance companies and employers, to manage prescription drug benefits offered through health plans. The industry controls millions in prescription drug expenditures in New Mexico.

Espinoza’s bill will prevent unqualified PBM companies from entering the state’s marketplace.

“As unregulated entities, PBM have for years had a significant negative impact on the pharmacy industry in New Mexico,” said Espinoza.

Nationally more than 200 million Americans receive pharmacy benefits through PBMs.

government completely.

That idea sounds extreme to me, and to some libertarians at the conference — not to mention the few pro-big-gover nment speakers, like movie director Oliver Stone. But I’m happy that students ask those sorts of questions rather than wondering which regulations to pass, what to tax and whom to censor for “insensitive” speech.

Even in an audience filled with libertarians, there were unsettled issues and divisive questions. Some students and speakers sounded a lot like the campus leftists who complain about “privilege.” Others sounded conservative and sought guidance from their religion.

I think this diversity is a good sign for the future of libertarian ideas. There are many ways for free people to live and to accomplish their goals — and as these students learned, the most important thing is not to assume that government has the answer to the

questions.

Students for Liberty’s website says: “ ... this is the most libertarian generation. The millennial generation is more social, organized and receptive to liberty, but also the most punished by the economic misconduct of older generations.”

Old politicians and old voters may never change their minds. But libertarianism grows fastest among the young, and so groups like Students for Liberty give me hope.

Those young people sure know more about liberty that I did when I was their age.

E-cigarettes can pose a poisoning risk to children STEVE WOLFE ROSWELL SAFE COALITION It is rare that I deal with things medical or substantially scientific in this column. I am not a scientific or technical person and I’m convinced that I could get over my head pretty quickly. However, there are times that I feel obliged to pass something on when I consider it important enough, urging my readers to do some additional research on their own. This column simply gives me an opportunity to create awareness on the part of my readers. The risk of a child being poisoned meets those standards.

Ken Oswald, the safety and security manager for Plateau, frequently sends information to me and many other safety-minded folks and I am appreciative. This week, Ken sent a Safety Bulletin

which deals with E-Cigarette Child Poisoning Dangers, and it immediately grabbed my attention. As a for mer smoker for many years, I have an interest in something claiming to be a “safer alternative to smoking.” And as a grandfather, I will surely read something which reveals a possibility for child poisoning.

Dear editor: The story in Sunday’s paper, “House OK’s Cutting Utility Rates for Businesses,” proves yet again how poorly our legislators represent the interests of the people who elected them. The rate increases for private individuals, families, and small businesses will be real; the benefits of cutting rates on large businesses are entirely conjectural. New Mexico is a desert state with no harbors which borders a nation with much lower labor costs; it will never be a manufacturing hub. Any increase in employment would far more likely come from new small businesses and innovative start—ups, the very things the rate increase will penalize.

Thanks for nothing, legislators.

Editor: Mr. Smotherman, I’ve known the Grant family all my life. Sterling and Norma Grant were pillars of the community. Sterling was “Mr. Little League Baseball” for more than thirty years and I could go on and on. His son, Troy, is a retired policemen who spent his life fighting crime, drugs and gangs. He also coached sports in our schools, served as a truant offiicer and a bi-vocational pastor. He named his son Caleb and you know where that comes from.

The RDR article quotes you as saying Caleb Grant is a

marketing which suggests that they are safer than smoking.

However, among the concerns is that the liquid mixture which they contain causes them to be especially risky to children. The Amarillo Poison Control Center indicates that there has been a recent spike in phone calls about e-cigarette poisonings. “In 2011,” suggests RN Cristie Johnston, “we had maybe 10 cases. But last year, we had over 100 cases reported, and those are just the ones we got calls about.”

There is a highly concentrated solution of nicotine contained in the electronic cigarette devices.

They have colorful casings and a variety of flavors, including chocolate, bubble gum, and cotton candy, all of which make them appealing to children, especially toddlers. If a child can crawl, he can pull up and can get

The Poison Control Center says that even a small amount of that liquid, perhaps only a couple of drops, can cause vomiting, sweating and seizures, and in some cases, death of the child. Furthermore, they do not necessarily have to swallow the material, but the nicotine can be absorbed through the skin. There is apparently a movement for manufacturers to install child safety caps on the refill bottles. To my way of thinking, the sooner the better.

The symptoms of severe nicotine exposure include a pale appearance, flushing, sweating, headache, dizziness, restlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart

Mr. Smotherman, you owe it to the voters of your congregation and to the voters of Roswell to enumerate the issues that Caleb Grant is on the wrong side of. Surely you can substantiate your claims. If you can’t then your words are hollow and empty and can’t be taken seriously. You attacked Caleb Grant’s character which I take seriously unless one I can back up one’s claim. Please share with us so we might make an informed decision. I and the voters of Roswell await your reply via the RDR. Respectfully, Larry D. Griffin Roswell, NM

Dear Editor, I have been reading with interest the statements from the people who are running for City Council. Nearly everyone supports expanding Roswell’s economy and creating jobs. Not one of them mentioned the huge elephant sitting in our city’s living room: Walmart/Sam’s Club. This place has ruined hundreds of towns across America by bullying city councils, lying to city councils, and/or paying off members of city councils. By buying cheap junk from slave shops in China, Walmart/Sam’s Club has undercut the smaller retail stores. When was the last time anyone visited Roswell Mall? How desolate!

Walmart/Sam’s Club takes all the profit, gives none to

We will be utilizing the Voting Convenience Centers, enabling voters to cast their ballots at any one of eight locations, regardless of where they may live.

Roswell and divides it up with Sam’s family and share partners while many Walmart/Sam’s Club employees are on food stamps because their pay is so low.

I encourage our soon-to-be new City Council to study those permits Walmart applied for, when their tentacles first arrived. Find the discrepancies and KICK WALMART/SAM’S CLUB OUT OF TOWN. The mall will fill up with flower stores, arts and craft stores, toy stores, clothing stores, sports stores, furniture stores, bridal stores and more. People will be employed in these stores.

Shops will open up downtown and possibly all over our city. Authentic American-made goods can be sold.

Roswell will be on the map for having the guts to give Walmart/Sam’s Club the heave-ho.

I encourage all Roswell citizens to boycott Walmart/Sam’s Club. It is easy. How many of you have gone there to purchase four or five items and ended up with twice more in your shopping cart? Instead, take your hard-earned money and purchase only four or five items at a local store. You save money and our economy strengthens.

To the soon-to-be new City Council: do the right thing.

Bring Roswell to a fabulous and authentic Roswell!

Sincerely, Sally Jo Davis Roswell, NM

Incredible 31 percent of NM budget derived from oil and gas

RANDALL MCELROY RIO GRANDE FOUNDATION Thanks to the show Breaking Bad, many Americans now realize that they don’t need passports to visit New Mexico. We surely appreciate the publicity. But New Mexicans have reason to be even more grateful to another industry.

The New Mexico Tax Research Institute (NMTRI) recently released a study entitled Fiscal Impacts of Oil and Natural Gas Production in New Mexico. It’s impressively researched, including detailed county-level analyses. The results show that absent the tremendous financial impact of the oil and gas industries, New Mexico would be a far different, poorer state.

NMTRI found that 31.5% of the state’s General Fund revenues — the primary source of funding for state public schools and higher education—come from taxes paid by the oil and natural gas industries. The General Fund also pays for state public welfare programs, environmental protection, tourism advertising and support,

road construction and maintenance, and many other functions of state government.

Oil and gas tax revenues are more than 40% greater than all personal income taxes collected by the state and are second only to the gross receipts tax in total contribution to the state’s coffers.

Simply put, the oil and natural gas industries are vitally important to New Mexico’s economy and thus to the state’s capacity for public services. Policies regarding these industries therefore can have tremendous impacts.

For example, last April, Mora County commissioners passed an ordinance preemptively banning all oil and gas drilling there. This is not to dismiss legitimate environmental concerns, but vigilance is not the same thing as paranoia. A blanket ban is particularly dubious considering that Mora County is among the most impoverished counties in New Mexico: 23.8% of its residents live in poverty according to the USDA’s Economic Research Service.

Fortunately, in counties where drilling has been going on for decades, in both the Per mian Basin (Southeast New Mexico) and San Juan Basin (Northwest New Mexico), support for the oil and gas industries is very strong.

After all, these people understand the considerable economic benefits and tradeoffs of living among the oil and gas rigs better than anyone else.

Money for government services has to come from somewhere, and much of it comes from oil and gas taxes. Tax policy is not very interesting to most people, but public services are and the connection between the two couldn’t be closer.

With just a few more drilling bans we could see some ugly results. Imagine your local public school with 31.5% less funding.

It’s a frightening picture.

Given the considerable value of the oil and gas industries, it’s worth wondering how we can reap more benefits from their presence. Our neighboring states also have plentiful oil and gas reserves, so raising their taxes is

not a wise move. We certainly want to keep them here. Fortunately, there is another, better way.

The federal government owns a staggering 41.8% of New Mexico’s land. If the state gover nment were to obtain the lands that are not national parks, military installations, or wildlife areas and manage it at the state level, the pool of jobs and resources generated by oil and gas could expand dramatically.

More and better public services without having to raise taxes is a rare win-win for New Mexico taxpayers. That is why the idea has gained bipartisan support in Santa Fe. Washington’s mismanagement of this land and its royalty payments has long been in need of remedy. The federal government has little motivation to do better.

Increasing state control of federal lands may not be realistic in today’s political climate, but what is even more crucial is preventing the federal government from further movement of federal lands into categories that prohibit oil

and gas development. National parks and monuments are natural treasures; such designations should not be used to make even more resources off limits to development.

New Mexicans have been relying on the oil and natural gas industries for years to fund public services. Policies that restrict these industries could be devastating to education, public welfare programs, and many other government services that we rely on. Policies that fail to account for the future productive potential of these industries shortchange New Mexico residents.

Every place is known for something.

Until 2009, if you asked someone about Roswell, they would likely comment UFOs, aliens or something along those lines.

Fast forward roughly five years and if you ask the same question, the same answers will come up. The difference, however, is another answer is just as likely — Mine That Bird.

In 2009, the gelding overcame huge odds — 50 to 1, to be exact — on his way to an improbable victory at the Kentucky Derby.

That win ear ned Mine That Bird a Sports Illustrated cover, among other accolades, and, on March 21, he will receive the Hollywood treatment when his movie “50 to 1” is released.

While Hollywood and New York City tend to get the bells and whistles when it comes to films, “50 to 1” brings the proverbial red carpet to Roswell.

Heather Gandy, vice president of marketing for Allen Theatres, said that it is a privilege to host the event.

“This is a tremendous honor the Galaxy 8 to host an event

Chip Woolley (Skeet Ulrich, far left), Leonard ‘Doc’ Blach (William Devane) and Mark Allen (Christian Kane) react to their competition at Santa Anita Park racetrack in a scene from ‘50 to 1.’ that honors both the horse and its owners,” she said. “Not very many people can say that a motion picture was made based

on a true story of your life.

Roswell has community members that can say that and we are excited we can provide the com-

munity a way to show support for this film.”

On March 21, there will be a special showing of the movie at 7

p.m. that includes some extra goodies.

Tickets for the event are $20 and go on sale on Friday, Feb. 28. Tickets are only available at the Galaxy 8 box office and will include a meet and greet with the honorees, including Mine That Bird co-owners Dr. Leonard Blach and Mark Allen, hors d’oeuvres and admission to the film.

An added benefit of attending the special event is that proceeds will go to Reins for Life.

Reins for Life is a Dexter-based organization that is “dedicated to improving the lives of people with mental, physical and emotional disabilities using horseback therapy,” according to its Facebook page.

Finland routs U.S.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Teemu Selanne led his team around the ice, with a bronze medal draped around his neck, after he finished of f his sixth Olympics with a sweet victory.

If the Finnish Flash is retiring and hanging up his skates after the NHL season, he picked a pretty good way to go out on the world’s stage.

Selanne scored two goals and Tuukka Rask had a 27-save shutout, helping Finland rout the United States 5-0 Saturday to win hockey bronze at the Sochi Games.

The 43-year-old, smoothskating forward with a lightning-quick shot and Jussi Jokinen scored 11 seconds apart early in pivotal second period.

UPDATED MEDAL COUNT —PAGE B8—

Selanne and his teammates were not finished, scoring three goals in the third against a team that looked like it would rather be at home.

“It was just something special,” Selanne said. “I’m so proud.”

The Americans, meanwhile, were humiliated.

“I’m kind of embarrassed where we’re at now,” U.S. defenseman R yan Suter said.

Selanne has helped Finland win four medals in the last five Olympics, more than any other nation in See ROUT, Page B8

Texas has only 2 position players from 2010 Series

Honda LPGA Thailand Scores

By The Associated Press Saturday At Siam Country Club (Pattaya Old Course) Chonburi, Thailand Purse: $1.5 million Yardage: 6,568; Par: 72 a-amateur Third Round

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Mitch Moreland started thinking about the Texas Rangers roster during his 25-hour drive to Arizona for spring training.

Moreland, who as a rookie was the Rangers’ top hitter in their first World Series, realized he was one of the most tenured players in Texas.

Moreland and shortstop Elvis Andrus are the only two position players remaining who played in that 2010 series against San Francisco.

Adrian Beltre joined them the next year for a second consecutive AL championship season, leaving a trio from that team.

“There’s definitely been a lot of changing since then,” Moreland said. “I feel like I’m still a young player trying to learn from other guys as far as major league players go.”

At 25 years old, Andrus is already going into his sixth full major league season and has played 757 games — nearly two full seasons worth of games more than the 28year-old Moreland (442) and Beltre (441), who at 34 is the Rangers’ oldest position player by two years.

“You realize sometimes how crazy baseball is and how everything can change in a couple of years,” Andrus said. “It’s crazy.

That’s why you have to enjoy every second, every moment of this. Because you never know what’s going to happen in the future.”

There are five pitchers left who appeared in a World Series game — Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison, Derek Holland, Colby Lewis and Alexi Ogando.

Bengie Molina, a catcher on the 2010 team, was hired during the offseason as the new first base coach on manager Ron Washington’s staff. Darren Oliver, a pitcher on both World Series teams, is now in camp as a special instructor.

“It looks like a whole different team,” said Oliver, whose initial stint working with Texas pitchers goes through this weekend. “It’s funny how it’s like that. Baseball, that’s just the way it is these days.”

Michael Young holds the Rangers record playing 1,823 games for Texas, but last season was with Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Dodgers before retiring last month.

Ian Kinsler spent eight seasons in Texas before getting traded during the offseason, when Nelson Cruz and David Murphy both became free agents and didn’t return.

General manager Jon Daniels said the roster turnover over the years was “largely by design” and points out that the teams they played in the World Series — San Francisco and St. Louis — have also had significant turnover.

“It’s just the nature of the game,” Daniels said. “I think you want to keep your core guys, but you’ve got to be mindful, it’s just not practical and not good baseball to bring the same team back year after year.”

In the offseason, Texas added slugger Prince Fielder, traded from Detroit for Kinsler, and free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo. Both are signed for seven years.

The Rangers missed the playoffs for the first time in four years last season, even with their fourth consecutive season of at least 90 victories.

“Texas, specifically, I think we’ve all marveled at how they’ve been able to turn the roster over but still keep a high level of talent, and they’re in a tough division,” Giants GM Brian Sabean said.

SCOREBOARD

Moreland made his major league debut midway through the 2010 season after first baseman Justin Smoak was traded to Seattle in the deal that brought Cliff Lee to the Rangers. Moreland was the only Texas player to have a hit in all five World Series games that year against the Giants while hitting .462 (6 of 13).

“Our success over the last few years has kind of contributed to the guys they brought in, and how well we’ve kind of clicked from that day one,” Moreland said.

Washington said the mindset has remained the same if even the players have changed.

“We focus on one thing, baseball, not outside influences,” he said. “No matter what we have to go out there and play with, we’re going to go out there and we’re going to play hard and do what we can do to win ballgames.”

Rockies’ Gonzalez staying in left field

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Colorado Rockies manager Walt Weiss says slugger Carlos Gonzalez will remain in left field rather than move over to center to replace Dexter Fowler.

Moving CarGo to center had been a strong possibility ever since the Rockies traded Fowler to Houston over the winter.

Weiss revealed the decision Saturday.

But the Rockies later acquired Drew Stubbs from Cleveland, and Stubbs can platoon in center with Corey Dickerson or Charlie Blackmon, who can back up all three outfield spots.

Gonzalez said he’d be fine with a move to center field so long as he didn’t bounce back and forth as he had earlier in his career. He said that affected him both physically and mentally.

Gonzalez is a three-time Gold Glove winner.

Barry Bonds will be Giants spring instructor

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Barry Bonds is all set to return to the San Francisco Giants. As a spring training instructor, that is.

The all-time home run leader who never officially retired is expected to arrive during the second week of March. Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that he’s looking forward to having the 49-year-old Bonds in camp and thinks he can help the hitters.

Bonds spent his last 15 seasons with the Giants, finishing in 2007. He has not been elected to the Hall of Fame, with many voters saying his lofty numbers were boosted by performance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds set major league records with 762 career home runs and 73 in 2001. He also had a .444 career on-base percentage and a .607 slugging percentage and stole 514 bases.

He’ll join former Giants Jeff Kent, Robb Nen, Will Clark and J.T. Snow as special instructors.

Kent and Bonds were involved in a highly publicized feud during the 2002 season, which reached its peak in June, when the two engaged in a shoving match in the dugout that was caught on camera.

Bonds’ final contract with the Giants included a 10-year services deal following his retirement, which included spring training visits. The seven-time MVP has made limited public appearances since his final season, and has been embroiled in legal trouble.

Bonds remains a fan favorite in San Francisco, enjoying a warm reception any time he’s introduced at AT&T Park, the Giants’ home park.

Matt Cain, the Giants’ longest active tenured player, was Bonds’ teammate between 2005-07. Tim Lincecum made his major league debut in 2007.

Bonds also holds the big league records for walks in a season (232 in 2004, including a record 120 intentional walks) and in a career (2,558).

Bonds was a .298 hitter during a 22-year career. He had a .609 on-base percentage and .812 slugging percentage in 2004.

Overall, Bonds homered against 449 different pitchers. He shares the major league record with his father, Bobby Bonds, for most seasons (5) with 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases.

He hit eight home runs in the 2002 postseason and holds the record for highest slugging percentage (1.294 in 2002) in a World Series.

Rousey keeps women’s title with first-round win

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Ronda Rousey kept her UFC women’s bantamweight title, using a left knee to the liver to take down Sara McMann at 1:06 of the first round at UFC 170 on Saturday night.

Rousey (9-0) was booed by fans again during the post-fight interview after the comain event was quickly stopped by referee Herb Dean, much to the fans’ dismay at Mandalay Bay Events Center. McMann, who seemed hurt after the hit to her right side with her back to the fence, is now 7-1.

Rousey, who was a 4-1 favorite, was also booed after her last title defense against Miesha Tate. Rousey refused to shake hands with Tate after the match at UFC 168 in December.

Daniel Cormier (13-0) easily defeated Patrick Cummins (4-1) by TKO at 1:19 of the first round of their light heavyweight co-main event.

Confident Sam wishes focus could stay on football

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Michael Sam needed no introduction.

He provided one anyway, subtly spelling out his desire to be known simply as a football player whose sexuality isn’t a national story.

“Good afternoon. My name is Michael Sam. I play football for the University of Missouri,” he said to commence his first public appearance since announcing he’s gay.

Sam smiled and laughed often during a 12 1⁄2-minute news conference at Lucas Oil Stadium, looking relaxed, jovial and confident while taking questions from the hundreds of reporters surrounding the podium.

Though Sam said he’s been too busy working out to absorb the coverage in the two weeks since his revelation, he chided the media a bit for the volume of analysis of this watershed moment in sports. Sam will be the first open homosexual in the NFL. “I wish you guys would just say, ‘Michael Sam, how’s football going? How’s training going?’ I would love for you to ask me that question. But it is what it is. And I just wish you guys would just see me as Michael Sam the football player instead of Michael Sam the gay football player.”

Coaches and executives around the league were asked often this weekend for their thoughts on how Sam would fit, both on the field and in the locker room. Nobody would acknowledge any hesitation, of course, and there was a predictable theme to the responses.

“It’s a results business. Can Michael Sam help us win?” Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine said.

Sam said he was not worried about being accepted, either, in light of the bullying scandal that emerged involving Miami Dolphins offensive linemen.

“If the Miami Dolphins drafted me I would be excited to be a part of that organization,” Sam said. “But I’m not afraid of going into that environment. I know how to handle myself. I know how to communicate with my teammates. I know how to communicate with

Roswell Daily Record the coaches and other staff.”

Sam has heard the slurs before, but if he’s in any way anxious about entering such a macho environment he has not shown it.

“If someone wants to call me a name, I’ll have a conversation with that guy and hopefully it won’t lead to nothing else,” he said.

Sam wore a rainbow-colored button that read “Stand with Sam,” given to him by a woman at a recent Missouri basketball game. Sam beamed about all the support he’s received, originating on campus.

“M-i-z-z-o-u. I’m a Tiger forever,” he said.

The Missouri teammates who joined him this weekend at the league’s annual scouting combine were returning the praise.

“Mike Sam is the toughest guy I know. He knew what was going to come of this. He’s ready to embrace it all. He’s fearless. He’s courageous. He’s ready,” wide receiver L’Damian Washington said.

Other players, too, downplayed the significance of Sam’s sexual orientation.

“It’s not the 1950s. We’re not in a backward society. I think things move on,” said Memphis punter Tom Hornsey, who has the same agent as Sam. “It’s in the media at the moment, it’s all the talk, but I believe when it comes down to it, when he can prove he can play football, everything’s going to take care of itself and it won’t be a distraction.”

Despite credentials featuring the Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year award, Sam is projected only as a mid-round pick in the draft in May. He’s 6foot-2 and 260 pounds, falling somewhere between a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme and an outside linebacker in a 3-4 system.

“He’s a tweener, and I think that’s why people are having trouble with the evaluation,” NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said, adding: “He’s got linebacker size, but he’s got the physical skill set of a defensive end. He’s a tough fit.”

Where he winds up, Sam said he doesn’t care.

“I’m a pass rusher. If you put me in a situation to get the quarterback, I’m going to get the quarterback. Whoever coaches or GMs, this league is a passing league. I’d like to believe in myself as a good pass rusher,” said Sam, who mentioned single-season sacks record-holder Michael Strahan as a player he’s patterned his style after.

One knock on Sam: he failed to record a sack in eight of Missouri’s 14 games last year.

“Winning is hard, buddy. Winning is hard.

There’s going to be games when I might not get a sack,” he said. “Throughout the games I did have some inconsistency there, but for the most part we as a defensive line did put a lot of pressure on quarterbacks, made them uncomfortable in the pocket to have to go and run away or throw the ball out of bounds.”

If Sam were to slip down the draft board, determining a bias against his sexual orientation or a fear of the potential distraction would be near impossible. If teams pass on him, they’re likely unsure how his combination of size and speed fits with their defense.

But the mental toughness and unflappable mindset Sam has shown will be a selling point.

“You only need one team. One team that believes in you,” Washington said.

Cleaning up language could be part of NFL changes

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL competition committee may attempt to clean up the language on the field next season.

Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, one of the committee members, told reporters Saturday the league is looking at ways to reduce the use of racial and gender-related slurs sometimes used during games. Newsome is in Indianapolis for the NFL’s scouting combine.

No votes will be held on any potential rules changes until next month’s owners meetings in Orlando, Fla. Newsome noted the concerns of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, a group of minority coaches and front-office, scouting and game-day NFL officials. He also said game officials told the committee what they sometimes hear on the field and that microphones around the field often capture what is being said.

Track & field

Lagat wins 3,000 at U.S. Indoor Championships

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — For a moment Saturday, Bernard Lagat looked more like a halfback cutting through the open field than a middle-distance runner sprinting to the finish.

Cutting across the lanes to seek some space between lapped runners in the 3,000meter run at the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships, Lagat was able to find a path to the tape in a time of 7 minutes, 46.01 seconds to take his fourth title in the event in the past five years — only missing in 2013 when he did not compete. He finished 2 seconds ahead of longtime rival Galen Rupp and more than 3 seconds in front of Ryan Hill.

“With two laps to go, I was feeling really great and then I wanted to watch for Galen, who is capable of going hard, all out,” Lagat said.

“And so when I saw him making a move, it was a good move but it wasn’t a move that really was too hard for me. So I wanted to keep next to him until only a lap and a half to go and then go all out without looking back, and that’s what I did.”

Until the slower runners started clogging the lanes, that is.

“I was actually worried about that,” Lagat said of the crowded field that had 20 competitors. “I thought, ‘What if Galen or Ryan is going to sneak through while I’m maneuvering through all of these guys?’ But I went all out. It was not going to stop me.”

Age certainly hasn’t done much to stop the 39-year-old Lagat.

“Being disciplined and also being able to train injury free is what actually gets me running fast,” Lagat said. “Because, you know what, I can train hard because I am not hurt and I am not feeling like I am going down now because I was hurt somewhere. It’s all discipline.”

Gabe Grunewald won the women’s 3,000.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Grunewald, who finished in 9:23.15, less than 2 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

“Lots of ups and downs. But glimmers of greatness here and there, but I just haven’t been able to have that race on a championship day. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. It feels so good to finally see myself at the top.”

Being at the top is something Erik Kynard has come to expect of himself in the high jump, which he won with 7-feet, 6 1⁄2-inches.

“Every time I enter a competition, my goal is to win first place,” said Kynard, who earned a silver medal in the 2012 Olympics.

“First place is the first goal because everything else is irrelevant unless it’s a win.

They don’t remember the guy who jumped high in third.”

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Cameron Bairstow scored 26 points, including 10 during a second-half run that led New Mexico to a 58-44 victory over No. 6 San Diego State on Saturday night.

Kendall Williams added 10 points for the Lobos (21-5, 12-2 Mountain West), who were 50 percent (25 for 50) from the field. Bairstow, who also had nine rebounds, shot 11 for 18 and was the only New Mexico player to attempt a free throw, finishing 4 for 6.

Williams had seven assists and Alex Kirk also grabbed nine rebounds.

Winston Shepard had 10 points for the Aztecs (23-3, 12-2), but leading scorer Xavier Thames shot 3 for 15 and finished with seven points — 10 below his average.

San Diego State shot 32 percent (21 for 65).

The Lobos took the lead for good early in the first half with a 10-2 run to go up 16-8. San Diego State closed to 23-20 with an 8-0 run shortly before halftime.

However, after the Aztecs opened the second half with a bucket to pull to 2924, New Mexico went on 21-2 run that featured Bairstow’s 10 points and Williams making two 3-pointers to expand the lead to 50-26.

San Diego State, which shot 32 percent (21 for 65), didn’t pull within single digits the rest of the way.

Darren Sharper pleads not guilty in rape case

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former NFL safety Darren Sharper pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he drugged and raped two women he met at a West Hollywood night club, while the emergence of a new accuser in Florida left him under investigation in five states.

Lawyers for Sharper, who played in the NFL from 1997 to 2010 primarily with the Green Bay Packers, said they would prove that any sexual contact Sharper engaged in was welcomed.

“All of these were consensual contact between Mr. Sharper and women who wanted to be in his company,” said attorney Leonard Levine.

But a prosecutor pointed out the many investigations against Sharper in places including Tucson, Ariz., Las Vegas and New Orleans, and asked a judge for $10 million bail.

The judge rejected that as excessive, though increased it from $200,000 to $1 million.

The judge ordered Sharper to

remain in Los Angeles, stay away from nightclubs and not be alone with any woman he did not know before October, when the first allegations emerged.

The judge set a court date for April 15 to schedule a preliminary hearing.

Korn rejected a bid by defense attorney Blair Berk to shut down the release of information in the case.

The latest allegations surfaced in a Miami Beach police report released Thursday. It was filed Jan. 19 — more than a year after the alleged attack. No charges have been filed but Detective Vivian Hernandez said the investigation remains open.

The report states that the accuser and two friends went to a club in the fall of 2012 and met Sharper and another man. All five left the club at approximately 4 a.m. and Sharper drove them all to his condo. The victim admitted to being extremely intoxicated.

The victims’ two friends told her the

next day that she went into a bedroom with Sharper and he closed the door behind them. The friends said they heard her telling Sharper “No, no.

Stop, I don’t want to.” They began knocking on the door, entered the room and attempted to take the victim home. The victim can’t remember what she said except that she wanted to sleep.

The victim said she awoke around 9 a.m. to find her pants off and Sharper having sex with her. She said she asked “what’s going on” and Sharper got up and put on a pair of shorts.

Sharper told her they didn’t have sex.

He then walked her to her car in a parking garage.

The victim said she went to be examined a week later. She made the police report after a friend saw that Sharper was arrested for sexual battery.

If convicted in the California case, Sharper could face more than 30 years in state prison.

The organization was founded in 1994 by Terry Bogle, who said the program is far more than just a pony ride.

“I want people to know it is not just a pony ride.

We work on daily living skills,” she said. “We work on a lot of vocabulary (math and other things). That is all done from the horse.”

Gandy said that partnering with Reins for Life was an easy decision.

“We knew about this organization and when we were brainstorming ways to create an event to honor Mine That Bird and his owners, we just thought it sounded like a great fit,” she said.

If you can’t make the special event, fear not because there are other showings of the film and

special events. The Kentucky Derby trophy will be on display at Galaxy 8 on March 21 and Mine That Bird himself will be there — just not in the theatre.

On March 22, there will be an event for the entire family to help celebrate the film. The event will be a collaboration between KBIM 93.9 FM and Allen Theatres and details will be released as the event approaches.

Normal show times for the film will be 2 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Monday through Friday, with an additional show time of 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday from March 21 to April 3.

Bronco baseball team drops pair The NMMI Bronco baseball team fell to 5-10 on the year on Saturday after dropping both ends of a doubleheader to visiting Dodge City at NMMI Ballpark.

The Broncos lost Game 1 9-3 and Game 2 12-4.

In Game 1, Conner Koepp gave the Conquistadors all they would need to win in the third inning.

The first baseman drove a towering shot over the right-field fence on the first pitch of his second at-bat for a grand slam that put Dodge City up 4-0.

Ciji Ramos took the loss for the Broncos after giving up five runs on three hits in 3 1⁄3 innings.

Caelin Wilcox drove in a pair for the Broncos and went 2 for 3. Caleb Mitchell had the other RBI. In Game 2, the Conquistadors again got all they would need in the third en route to the win.

They scored eight times on just two hits in the third to take the lead back from NMMI, which had gone up 1-0 in the second on an RBI double by Jake Todd.

Dodge City added four more runs in the seventh before NMMI scored twice in the bottom of the seventh for the final margin.

David Herrera was saddled with the loss. He gave up eight runs on four hits in 2 1⁄3 innings.

Chris Foster and Zach Henderson added RBIs for the Broncos. Seven different Broncos had one hit apiece.

NBA capsules: Mavericks take down Pistons AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Vince Carter added 18 and the Dallas Mavericks held of f the Detroit Pistons for a 113-102 victory Saturday night.

Dallas had surprising success on the boards against Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imposing front line. The Mavericks finished with 16 offensive rebounds. The Pistons, who came in as the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top team in that department, had only nine.

Detroit star Andre Drummond was in foul trouble all night and finished with only eight points and three rebounds in just under 20 minutes of action.

Josh Smith kept the Pistons in the game for a while and finished with 32 points, his most since signing with Detroit last offseason.

Monta Ellis had 12 points and 13 assists for the Mavericks.

Dallas now leads ninth-place Memphis by two games in the Western Conference playoff race.

The Pistons, meanwhile, fell 3 1â &#x201E;2 games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the East.

Dallas led by 13 in the third quarter, and after the Pistons closed within four in the fourth, Nowitzki connected from beyond the arc to give the Mavericks a 96-89 lead. Dallas was able to keep Detroit at armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length after that.

Ellis scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks benefited from Drummondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence throughout the game.

Greg Monroe had 17 points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons, but he had little help on the boards.

Smith, for all his scoring, finished with only three rebounds, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score a point in the final period.

Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brandon Jennings had only two points and three assists on 1-of-7 shooting, and for a second straight night, the Pistons went mostly with Will Bynum at point guard with the game on the line. Bynum had 17 points and eight assists.

Dallas had six players in double figures. Samuel Dalembert had 12 points and 11 rebounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six at the offensive end. Jose Calderon added 11 points and

Shawn Marion scored 10.

The Mavericks had 31 assists, one night after reaching a season-high 39 in a win at Philadelphia. Ellis had 11 assists in the first half against the Pistons, and Dallas led 64-54 at halftime.

Only Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who had 24 points on 11-of-13 shooting in the half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kept Detroit from a bigger deficit. The Pistons were only down 39-36 when Drummond picked up his third foul with 9:03 left in the second quarter. The Mavericks slowly extended the margin after that.

Bobcats 92, Grizzlies 89 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kemba Walker scored 31 points and the Charlotte Bobcats won for the fourth time in five nights, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies Saturday night.

Charlotte is 4-0 since the AllStar break, marking its longest winning streak since March 2011.

The Bobcats used an 18-3 run in the fourth quarter to break open a tight game and then held on down the stretch with Walker making four free throws in the

final 25 seconds to snap Memphisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four-game win streak.

The Bobcats won despite the Grizzlies holding Al Jefferson to just six points on 2-of-13 shooting. Jefferson came in having scored 29 points or more in eight of his last 11 games and at least 20 points in 17 of the last 19.

The Grizzlies were led by Mike Conley, who had 16 points but missed two 3-pointers on Memphisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final possession that would have tied the game.

Timberwolves 121, Jazz 104 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Love had 37 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double to help Minnesota cruise past Utah.

Minnesota was again playing without starters Nikola Pekovic (ankle) and Kevin Martin (finger), but Love filled the void, keeping one step ahead of the Jazz through the game. He compiled all his statistics in 32 minutes to earn a spot on the bench for the final nine minutes of the Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third runaway win against the Jazz this season.

Ricky Rubio had 15 points, and

Corey Brewer and Chase Budinger scored 13 apiece as the Wolves won their third straight for just their third streak of three-plus victories.

Enes Kanter couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Love, but had success against him on the of fensive end, scoring 25 points for the Jazz, who dropped their third in a row after a season-best three-game win streak.

Hawks 107, Knicks 98 ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Scott scored a career-high 30 points, Jeff Teague added 28 and Atlanta snapped an eight-game losing streak by beating New York.

Carmelo Anthony finished with 35 points for the Knicks, who blew a double-digit, third-quarter lead for the second straight night.

New York has lost two straight and seven of nine to fall 5 1 â &#x201E; 2 games behind Atlanta for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot.

Atlanta began the game without All-Star forward Paul Millsap, who sustained a right knee contusion late in the fourth quarter of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss at Detroit, but the Hawks rallied from a 17-point

Wizards 94, Pelicans 93 WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nene made the go-ahead dunk with 0.9 seconds left and matched a season high with 30 points to propel Washington past New Orleans.

Washington trailed 93-92 when Anthony Davis hit two free throws with seven seconds left.

After a timeout, the Wizards inbounded to John Wall, who dribbled to the lane, drew the defense, and dished to a cutting Nene, who slammed the ball with his right hand. It was the 12th assist of the night for Wall.

The play spoiled a big performance by Davis, who had 26 points and 11 rebounds. Anthony Morrow added 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting.

But their efforts were trumped

by Nene, who made 13 of 19 shots. With Wall and Beal, the Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top two threats, combining for just 21 points, Washington turned to its frontcourt. Center Marcin Gortat contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Pacers 110, Bucks 110 MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Paul George scored 32 points and David West tied a season high with 30, helping Indiana hang on to beat Milwaukee.

Lance Stephenson added 24 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for the Pacers, who had lost three of their previous five games. Stephenson scored seven straight points to open the fourth quarter.

Brandon Knight scored 30 points for Milwaukee, including 20 in the first half. Khris Middleton added 13.

With the Pacers leading by seven at the end of the third quarter, Stephenson opened the fourth with a pair of inside scores and a 3-pointer, extending the lead to 82-68. Milwaukee kept the game close into the final minutes, but West hit a jumper with 48 seconds left to help put away the game.

defeated Trujillo in the district finals.

Trujillo was pleased with both his and his team’s performance.

“Pretty good tournament. We all wrestled hard. I wrestled really well — did pretty good for third place.” He was pretty fired up about his match over Yazzie. “I was pretty pumped because we split in Robertson, so it was a really big match and to get the pin was really exciting.”

Villa, only a freshman, bounced back from a tough loss to the eventual champ in the semis to earn two wins and third place.

Villa defeated Zack Jamison-Cash of Albuquerque Academy 6-3 and then Robert Bond, the No. 2 seed,

of Moriarty 4-1 to claim third.

Villa finishes at 45-6.

Griffin, the only senior on the squad, scored a takedown at the buzzer to beat Tristan Dwinell of Piedra Vista 3-1 to claim third.

The takedown took place directly in front of both cheering squads, sending the Rocket fans into a frenzy while quieting the large Piedra Vista crowd. Griffin finished the season at 27-7.

“It was a great season and I enjoyed every minute of it,” stated an emotional Griffin following the victory. “I’m glad I ended it on a win.” Griffin described the final frantic 15 seconds of the final match, “I was just running through everything in my mind that I could get on him and he gave me the under hook and I knew I could get the ‘jap’ on him, and, in the last seconds, I just

went with it.”

Anaya (40-6) finished fourth after giving up a takedown at the buzzer to district rival David Padron of Deming. Anaya had earned the match by virtue of defeating district champ Florian Castillo of Española Valley 7-3 in the prior match. Anaya, like Trujillo, Villa, and Griffin, fell to the eventual champ in the semifinals.

“Overall, we had six placers this year which is the most we have had ever, I think,” stated Anaya giving his team the praise of a great year. “That last match was tough, but I wrestled my hardest and I left it all out there so I can come back next year and take it.”

Wilson defeated Arvis Alarcon of Roswell 10-2 to claim fifth place.

Wilson finally defeated Alarcon after losing twice prior. Wilson defeated two district opponents — Damian Foster of Deming and Alan Avila of Chaparral — to make it to the medal rounds.

Licon finished sixth but had two very close matches to make the podium. Licon started the day off with a close 12-10 win over Jacob Pino of Valencia and then came from behind to defeat Antonio Alvarado of Los Lunas.

Licon, down 9-1 late, threw his opponent and pinned him with seconds remaining to advance.

Despite the state medals, Licon wanted more. “I don’t think I wrestled to my full potential. I was the fourth seed and I lost to a guy that I beat not too long ago (Daniel Coheto of Chaparral in the district tourney), but I had to come back on it and I cut it close on placing — ended up taking sixth. I had some tough matches and had to beat some good guys.

Like coach said, I just had to wrestle hard and believe in myself.”

Coach Robert Bolanos was pleased with his young squad’s season.

“Overall, we only had eight guys make it to the state tournament.

Two of our guys were seniors and will be gone for next year and one of those placed — Arvis Alarcon.

He got sixth place — he did pretty

good. I have a really young team and I think that’s our greatest asset going into next season.”

Coach Bolanos had some good words about his other senior, Chris Snyder (28-11).

“Chris was probably the heart of our team. He was a really disciplined wrestler and I like that because our younger guys can look at that and use that as they grow throughout their years in wrestling. I think that’s the greatest thing about Chris.”

Nordqvist keeps lead at LPGA Thailand SPORTS

CHONBURI, Thailand (AP) — Swede Anna Nordqvist shot a 5-under 67 at the LPGA Thailand on Saturday for a 4-stroke lead over top-ranked Inbee Park and American Michelle Wie. The 27th-ranked Nordqvist sprinkled her third round at the Siam Country Club with four birdies and an eagle on the 10th against a bogey on No. 5.

Leading since the first round, the 26year-old Nordqvist has an overall 11-under 205. She is chasing her first win on the U.S. LPGA Tour since 2009.

Park shot 67 and Wie 69.

“I think the great players out there, Inbee, Stacy (Lewis), they’ve been up there so many times, so they look pretty comfortable out there,” Nordqvist said. “For me, it’s a matter of keep putting myself in those positions and the win will happen eventually.”

Defending champion Park, playing her first tournament of the season, birdied the

opening two holes and Nos. 10-13, with a lone bogey on the eighth.

“I hit a lot of great irons shots out there today, I think I still left four birdies out there,” the four-time Major champion said.

The 2010 runner-up Wie had an errorfree round.

“Couple hard pins, couple easy pins.

Didn’t really take advantage of the par 5s like I wanted to, but I can’t really complain about it. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll just have a lot more birdies,” Wie said. “I really want that win, but I’m not going to put the added pressure on myself.”

Paraguay’s Julieta Granada (71) was a further stroke behind in fourth.

Tseng Yani of Taiwan, winner here in 2011 and ‘12, carded a 6-under 66 for an overall 5-under 211 and a share of fifth with Americans Cristie Kerr (68) and Lexi Thompson (69) as well as New Zealand teen prodigy Lydia Ko (69).

Els reaches semifinals for first time in 13 years

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — It’s rare to hear Ernie Els describe his week at the Match Play Championship as “wonderful.”

He’s usually not around long enough to say anything at all.

This time, the wacky world of match play is working in his favor. Even though Els has made more bogeys than birdies, even though he didn’t break par at Dove Mountain until his quarterfinal match Saturday, the 44-year-old South African is two matches away from claiming another World Golf Championship.

Els made birdie from the desert on the par-5 eighth hole to take the lead for good against 20-year -old Jordan Spieth, and then pulled away for a 4-and-2 victory to reach the semifinals for the first time in 13 years.

“At times I haven’t played my best, as you guys have and well-documented know,” Els said with a laugh. “But it’s match play.

I’ve just done enough to get through.”

Graeme McDowell was the only other player who felt lucky to still be around, only for his luck to run out against Victor Dubuisson of France.

McDowell had reached the quarter finals even though he never led a single hole while any of his previous three matches were in progress. He finally took a lead — 60 holes into this tournament — and wound up losing.

Typical of his week, it went down to the wire.

Dubuisson hit a beautiful

chip from the rough in front of a corporate suite behind the 16th green to save par, while McDowell missed a 6foot putt to lose the hole.

Dubuisson saved par with another superb chip behind the 17th green, and had one more in his bag from below the 18th green to save yet another par.

McDowell narrowly missed a 25-foot birdie putt that would have extended the match.

“Lucky, lucky to even be here today,” McDowell said.

“But actually played quite nicely most of the day. It all boiled down to my putter actually let me down. I had a chance on 14 for the hole, chance on 15 for the hole, missed a short one on 16.

My luck is going to run out sooner than later.”

Els plays Dubuisson, a rising star in the European ranks who won the Turkish Open, where Tiger Woods finished five shots behind.

In other quarter final matches: — Jason Day reached the semifinals for the second straight year with a 2-and-1 win over Louis Oosthuizen, who played with a nagging back injury.

— Rickie Fowler lost a 3up lead to Arizona grad Jim Furyk, only to win the last two holes for a 1-up victory for a shot at Day. Furyk was in the same spot as Dubuisson on the 18th hole, but his first chip rolled back down the hill toward his feet.

Fowler is the No. 53 seed, the highest to reach the semifinals since Zach Johnson was No. 59 in 2006 when it was held at La

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Jordan Spieth lost his match to Ernie Els. He also lost his cool.

It’s the one area of Spieth’s game that he’s still trying to master as he enters his second full year on tour. When the golf isn’t going well, Spieth shows it.

Els noticed.

“I could almost sense the frustration in Jordan today that he wasn’t quite playing the way he did yesterday,” Els said. “And I was kind of playing on that a little bit, just making sure if I was missing a shot, that I made sure that I got it up-anddown to keep kind of him at bay, or keep him frustrated.”

Spieth described himself as a “little mental midget out there,” as he constantly turned toward caddie Michael Greller.

“Actually kind of embarrassing looking back,” he said. “I was dropping clubs and just whining to Michael, and you just can’t do that. In match play, you’ve got to keep your cool.

Any time you show that, it’s a weakness, and Ernie can take advantage of it.”

And he did.

holes to reach the semifinals.

Fowler has been taking hikes up the mountain behind The Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain with his mother and sister, a peaceful way to end a day and a great place to watch the sunset over the high desert north of Tucson.

“The first night I went on my own, which was kind of fun,” Fowler said after his 1-up win over Jim Furyk.

“My mom and sister came in on Tuesday, so made them go with me. And I guess we’re going to continue that. It’s been working.

I’ll be going on a hike a little later this afternoon and go hang out up there and just relax and watch the sunset and go down and have some dinner at the hotel.”

Costa.

The semifinals will be Sunday morning, following by the championship match.

“I’m just very glad to be here on Sunday,” Els said.

“Hopefully, it goes good tomorrow. I still feel I’ve got a really good one in me.”

Fowler never looked like he would need to go 18th holes the way his match against Furyk started. And then he was happy to get there. Furyk was 3 down with only six holes remaining when he made three straight birdies and won a fourth straight hole at No. 16 with a par when Fowler flubbed a chip. Furyk missed the fairway on the 17th, however, allowing

Eagles: 0 Birdies: 4 Pars: 12 Bogeys: 2 Others: 0 Fairways hit: 9 of 14 Greens hit: 14 of 18 Putts: 29

Fowler to square the match.

On the 18th, Furyk came up just a fraction short of perfect and saw the ball roll back down the false front of the green. His chip was heavy, and that one rolled back toward his feet and led to bogey. Fowler navigated a quick birdie putt down the slope to a concession range and escaped.

It was the third straight round in which Fowler was trailing with three holes to play, and he pulled out wins against Jimmy Walker, Sergio Garcia and Furyk.

The only easy time Fowler had was against Ian Poulter.

“It’s nice to get a win no matter how it happens,” Fowler said.

Spieth still learning

MIC CHECK: Jordan Spieth had to aim away from the hole from a bunker on the par-5 second. The idea was to splash out with some side spin, catch the fringe and have the ball trickle toward the hole.

It worked except for one tiny detail — he forgot to have the TV microphone removed.

The ball struck the base of the microphone and stayed there. Spieth could only get up-and-down for par, and Els two-putted for birdie to win the hole.

the NHL era.

Before the match became a rout, it was a game of missed opportunities for the Americans.

Patrick Kane couldn’t convert on a penalty shot in each of the first two periods. He missed the net to the right on his first oneon-one duel and hit the right crossbar on his second.

“Just didn’t really capitalize on anything,” he acknowledged.

Kane, who also missed a breakaway in overtime against Russia, said Saturday’s setback was one of the most frustrating games of his career.

“Whether it was confidence or not getting enough chances, who really knows at the end of the day,” he said. “I thought I had opportunities. ... You think you’re

in three times against the goaltender alone and hopefully you could score a couple of times out of that. It just wasn’t meant to be.”

No, it wasn’t.

The Americans wasted a chance to earn medals in consecutive Olympic hockey tournaments for the first time since winning gold in 1960 and silver in 1956.

Finland, meanwhile, took advantage of two power plays in the third period with goals to put the U.S. away in a game it didn’t look interested in after falling behind 2-0.

If the league and players’ union do not let the world’s best players go to South Korea in four years, Kane and Co. may never get a shot to help the Americans win gold that has been elusive since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” Jonathan Quick, starting ahead of silver -medal winning

goaltender Ryan Miller, stopped all eight shots that got to him in the first before giving up five goals on just 21 shots over the last two periods.

“Absolutely not second-guessing the decision to go with Quick in net,” U.S. coach Dan Bylsma said. “He was our best player in the semifinal game.

“He was excellent again tonight. He made five, six or seven excellent saves in the first half of this game. And no, I did not consider pulling him as the game went to four and five.”

Selanne, who has said he will retire after playing for the Anaheim Ducks this season, skated off the ice in Sochi for the final time with 20 seconds to play and hugged two teammates on the bench before leaping back over the boards at the final buzzer.

From the ice, Selanne reached over the boards to embrace every

assistant coach and executive on Finland’s bench. The popular player got lifted off his skates more than once by hugs.

“Maybe this was his last game for national team and as a captain,” Finland coach Erkka Westerlund. “It was excellent game to finish.”

Finland won bronze for the second straight Olympics and third time since 1998, the first with NHL players. It lost to rival Sweden in the 2006 gold-medal game and in Friday’s semifinals.

The Finns were fired up for the consolation prize and weren’t satisfied with a two-goal lead after two periods, pouring it on with Juuso Hietanen’s goal 6:10 into the third — as a penalty on Kane was expiring — and Selanne scored for a second time less than two minutes later.

Selanne, the oldest player in the tournament, extended his

Olympic record to 43 points with another fantastic game.

The U.S. seemed set up to end its Olympic hockey championship drought, or at least come home with a medal, with a group of talented players in their prime.

It started well, routing Slovakia, outlasting the host Russians in an eight-round shootout and cruising past Slovenia and the Czech Republic by a combined score of 20-6.

The Americans were humbled by defending champion Canada, which also beat them in the goldmedal game in 2010, with a 1-0 win that was more lopsided than the score indicated.

Then, they got schooled by Finland, a team that wanted to win more than they did.

“They played hard and taught us a real good lesson for 60 minutes,” U.S. forward David Backes said.

Sochi: Bjoergen Top 25: Duke avenges loss to Syracuse wins sixth gold

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The Norwegian women revived their cross country skiing dominance at the Sochi Olympics on Saturday and the Dutch added two more speedskating gold medals to their record haul.

Marit Bjoergen won her sixth career gold medal by leading a Norwegian sweep in the women’s 30-kilometer cross-country race. A week ago, Norway’s heavily favored women’s relay team finished a disappointing fifth, touching off a minicrisis in the ski-crazed Scandinavian country.

The Netherlands won both men’s and women’s team pursuit races in speedskating, giving the Dutch eight gold medals out of 12 events, and 23 total in the sport. That’s two more golds than the Soviet Union won in speedskating in 1960, the previous record, and 10 more than East Germany’s 1988 total medals mark.

Elsewhere, Russia won the 4x7.5-kilometer men’s biathlon relay to take its games-leading 11th gold medal; Mario Matt of Austria won gold in the men’s slalom; Vic Wild of Russia captured his second gold by winning the Olympic debut of men’s parallel slalom snowboarding; and Julia Dujmovits of Austria won the women’s snowboarding race.

On Day 16, the Sochi Olympics also was hit by two more doping case.

Cross-country skier Marina Lisogor of Ukraine became the third athlete to test positive for banned substances in two days. The 30-year -old Lisogor competed in two cross-country events in Sochi, and did not win a medal. The IOC later announced that Latvian hockey player Vitalijs Pavlovs tested positive for the stimulant methylhexanamine following his team’s loss to Canada in the quar-

terfinals on Thursday.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: Bjoergen is now the most decorated female Winter Olympian in history with 10 total medals and six gold, including three in Sochi and three from Vancouver. Her career total puts her one ahead of Russian cross-country skier Lyubov Egorova, who had six golds and three silvers. Two other women — Stafania Belmondo of Italy and Soviet skier Raisa Smetanina — also have 10 medals, but fewer golds.

Therese Johaug took silver in the 30K race, while Kristin Stoer mer Steira completed the Norwegian sweep by winning bronze.

SPEEDSKATING: The Dutch men’s team of Sven Kramer, Jan Blokhuijsen and Koen Verweij set an Olympic record of 3 minutes, 37.71 seconds in the team pursuit. The Netherlands also held the old record of 3:39.95, set in Vancouver four years ago.

South Korea took the silver and Poland the bronze. In the women’s race, the Netherlands trio of Ireen Wust, Marrit Leenstra and Jorien ter Mors also set an Olympic record of 2:58.05.

Poland took silver and Russia bronze. Wust now has won five medals in Sochi, more than any other athlete — two golds and three silvers.

ALPINE SKIING: Matt’s victory in the men’s slalom makes him the oldest Alpine champion in Olympic history. Matt, who turns 35 in April, surpasses now-retired Norwegian great Kjetil Andre Aamodt as the oldest skier to win an Alpine race.

BIATHLON: Russian anchor Anton Shipulin beat Germany’s Simon Schempp on the final lap to give the host nation its first biathlon gold of the Sochi Games. The 4x7.5-kilometer relay was the last biathlon competition at the games. Defending champion Norway led for most of the race but dropped to fourth after anchor Emil Hegle Svendsen missed three targets in his final shooting. Germany got the silver and Austria the bronze.

SNOWBOARDING: The American-born Wild, who became a Russian citizen in 2011 after marrying Russian snowboarder Alena Zavarzina, won gold in parallel giant slalom earlier this week. Wild and another adopted Russian, former South Korean short track speedskater Viktor Ahn, have won five of Russia’s 11 gold medals in Sochi. Zan Kosir of Slovenia took silver behind Wild, and Benjamin Karl of Austria won bronze. In the women’s parallel slalom, Dujmovits edged Anke Karstens of Germany at the finish. Amelie Kober of Germany won bronze.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The rematch of one of college basketball’s best games of the season ended with Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim getting ejected after he charged onto the court to argue a block/charge call.

Rodney Hood scored 13 points and drew that game-changing charging call that helped No. 5 Duke beat No. 1 Syracuse 66-60 Saturday night.

Freshman Jabari Parker had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Blue Devils (22-6, 11-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Jerami Grant had 17 points and C.J. Fair, the player who was called for the charge, finished with 13 for the Orange (25-2, 12-2).

The first meeting between these teams was an overtime game considered an instant classic. The rematch was just as close but it will be remembered for Boeheim’s exit with 10 seconds to play.

Syracuse had the ball down 60-58 when Fair drove for an apparent tying layup.

But official Tony Greene whistled Fair for charging — and Boeheim shot onto the court to argue. Greene slapped him with two technical fouls and ejected him.

Quinn Cook iced it by hitting three free throws with 10.4 seconds left to make it 63-58.

No. 2 Florida 75, Mississippi 71 OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Scottie Wilbekin scored 18 points, Michael Frazier II added 17 and Florida rallied to beat Mississippi.

The Gators (25-2, 14-0 Southeastern Conference) extended their schoolrecord winning streak to 19 games. Ole Miss (16-11, 7-7) has lost four in a row.

Florida survived a hot start from the Rebels’ Marshall Henderson, who scored 22 points in the first half but was then held scoreless. Jarvis Summers added 20 points for Ole Miss.

The game was tied at 59 with 8 minutes left, but Florida scored the next six points to take control.

No. 3 Wichita St. 83, Drake 54 WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Tekele Cotton had 21 points, Darius Carter came off the bench to score 15 and Wichita State pounded Drake.

Wichita State (29-0, 16-0 Missouri Valley Conference) is the first team to start 29-0 since Illinois in 2004-05 and is two wins away from a perfect regular season.

Fred VanVleet scored 15 for the Shockers, who cut down the nets after the game to celebrate their Missouri Valley championship.

Wichita State cruised despite leading scorer Cleanthony Early being held to a season-low three points and Ron Baker only scoring six, less than half his season average.

Daddy Ugbede scored 14 points, Jordan Daniels had 13 and Aaron Hawley 10 for Drake (14-14, 5-11), which had more turnovers (20) than field goals (18).

No. 4 Arizona 88, Colorado 61 BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Freshman Aaron Gordon scored 21 of his seasonbest 23 points in the second half and Nick Johnson added 20 points as Arizona won at Colorado for the first time since 1973.

It was a rare breather for the Wildcats (25-2, 12-2 Pac-12), who scrapped their way through a series of close games since beating Colorado by 12 in Tempe, Ariz., on Jan. 23. They since had a twopoint loss at Cal and a three-point loss in double-overtime at archrival Arizona State.

The Wildcats needed overtime to win at Utah in their previous game and they led this one by just four points early in the second half before running away with it.

Josh Scott scored 18 points for the Buffaloes (20-8, 9-6), who came out ice cold, missing their first 14 shots coming off an emotionally draining win over the Sun Devils on Wednesday night that burnished their NCAA tournament credentials.

No. 8 Kansas 85, No. 19 Texas 54 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points, Joel Embiid briefly flirted with a triple-double and Kansas trounced Texas to seize control of the Big 12.

Embiid finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for the Jayhawks (21-6, 12-2), who lead the league race by three games with four to play.

Kansas can wrap up at least a share of its 10th straight title when Oklahoma visits Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night.

Kansas also exacted a little revenge

for a lopsided loss to the Longhorns (207, 9-5) in Austin, using a 32-5 run over a long stretch of the first half to put the game away early.

It was the Jayhawks’ fifth win in the last six meetings.

Jonathan Holmes scored 17 points and Cameron Ridley had 11 for Texas.

No. 11 Louisville 58, No. 7 Cincinnati 57 CINCINNATI (AP) — Russ Smith’s 18foot jumper with 2.2 seconds left gave Louisville its sixth straight win and 10th in 11 games.

Louisville (23-4, 12-2 American Athletic Conference) started the winning streak after a last-second 69-66 home loss to the Bearcats (24-4, 13-2) three weeks ago.

Cincinnati fought back from a 10point second-half deficit to take a 55-52 lead with 90 seconds remaining. Freshman T roy Caupain made two free throws with 12 seconds left to give the Bearcats a 57-56 lead.

Terry Rozier passed the ball to Smith for the winning jumper. The Cardinals tipped the inbounds pass, giving Cincinnati no opportunity to get off a shot before the buzzer sounded.

Montrezl Harrell, who was just 5 of 12 from the free throw line, led the Cardinals with 21 points, Rozier had 11 and Smith finished with 10 on 3-of-10 shooting.

Sean Kilpatrick had 28 points for the Bearcats, who had won 19 straight at home.

No. 9 Villanova 57, St. John’s 54 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Darrun Hilliard scored 18 points and R yan Arcidiacono had 12 for Villanova.

It was the second straight win for Villanova (24-3, 12-2 Big East) since its second loss of the season to No. 11 Creighton.

D’Angelo Harrison had 15 points for St. John’s (18-10, 8-7), Rysheed Jordan scored 13 and JaKarr Sampson had 12 points and 10 rebounds as the Red Storm’s six-game winning streak ended.

Arcidiacono hit a 3-pointer from the top of the circle to give Villanova a 5350 lead with 3:43 left.

Harrison made a driving layup to cut it to 54-53. Daniel Ochefu made one of two free throws to give Villanova a 2point lead with 34 seconds left. With a chance to tie or give the Red Storm a lead, Phil Greene IV was called for traveling with 14 seconds to go. Arcidiacono’s free throw made it 56-53. But the Red Storm couldn’t get a 3-point shot off and Harrison was fouled going for a layup with 1.5 seconds left. He made the first free throw and purposely missed the second, but a lane violation gave the ball to Villanova.

Josh Hart made one free throw and the Red Storm missed a desperation 3point shot at the buzzer.

No. 10 Saint Louis 66, George Washington 59 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jordair Jett scored 16 points, Rob Loe added 12 and Saint Louis earned its 19th straight win by holding off George Washington.

Reserve Grandy Glaze added 10 points for the Billikens (25-2, 12-0 Atlantic 10), and Austin McBroom and Mike McCall both sank two free throws in the final 20.7 seconds to seal the win.

Joe McDonald scored 21 points and Kevin Larsen had 14 for George Washington (20-7, 8-5). Larsen and Isaiah Armwood grabbed 11 rebounds apiece.

The Colonials, who trailed 41-27 early in the second half, went on a 14-2 run to tie the score at 50 on Maurice Creek’s short jumper with 9:18 left. George Washington was just 3 of 18 the rest of the way.

Wichita State (29 straight) and Stephen F. Austin (22) are the only teams with longer winning streaks than the Billikens.

No. 14 Virginia 70, Notre Dame 49 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Akil Mitchell and Anthony Gill both scored 15 points and Virginia used a 30-2 second-half run to blow open a close game and go on to its 11th consecutive victory.

Justin Anderson helped fuel the run by blocking a dunk attempt by Notre Dame’s Zach Auguste, bringing a sellout crowd at John Paul Jones Arena to its feet. The victory gave Virginia (23-5, 141 Atlantic Coast Conference) 14 conference wins for the first time.

Pat Connaughton led the Fighting Irish (14-14, 5-10) with 11 points, but Notre Dame went nearly 9 minutes in the second half without a point as Virginia turned a 41-38 deficit into a 68-43 lead. The Cavaliers scored 25 consecutive points before Demetrius Jackson’s

layup broke the spell with 2:32 left.

No. 16 Wisconsin 79, No. 15 Iowa 74 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Frank Kaminsky had 21 points and a crucial late steal as Wisconsin won its fifth straight.

Sam Dekker added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Badgers (22-5, 9-5 Big Ten), who swept the season series and moved a half-game ahead of the Hawkeyes (19-7, 8-5) in the Big Ten standings.

Josh Oglesby’s jumper with 1:01 left put Iowa up 72-71, but Kaminsky answered with a bank shot that gave Wisconsin a one-point lead. Kaminsky then stripped Iowa’s Roy Devyn Marble under the basket and hit two free throws as the Badgers went up 75-72 with 24.5 seconds left.

Marble had 21 points and 11 assists to lead the Hawkeyes, who lost their third home game in four tries.

No. 17 Iowa St. 71, TCU 60 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — DeAndre Kane scored 20 points and Georges Niang had 19 points and eight rebounds as Iowa State kept TCU winless in the Big 12.

Niang had two three-point plays in the last 5 minutes to help the Cyclones (21-5, 9-5 Big 12) build a cushion.

Kane gave the Cyclones their first double-digit lead when he knocked the ball away from Kyan Anderson for a steal and caught a long pass from Melvin Ejim for a layup.

Ejim, the Big 12 leader at 19.1 points per game coming in, scored 14 after setting a Big 12 record with 48 in Iowa State’s 84-69 win over at TCU at home.

Anderson, who averaged 26 points in his past four games, scored 18 to lead the Horned Frogs (9-17, 0-14). TCU is 2-30 in conference in two Big 12 seasons.

No. 18 Kentucky 77, LSU 76, OT LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Julius Randle scored in the lane with 3.9 seconds remaining in overtime to give Kentucky the hard-earned win.

After Andre Stringer’s jumper with 12 seconds left gave LSU a 76-75 lead, James Young’s shot on the other end was blocked. Randle was able to grab the loose ball and hit the game-winning short jumper, sparking a delirious celebration with his Wildcats teammates piling on top of him.

Randle finished with eight points and 15 rebounds for Kentucky (21-6, 11-3 Southeastern Conference), which got 21 points from Aaron Harrison and 20 from Young.

Johnny O’Bryant III and Anthony Hickey both had 20 points for LSU (1610, 7-7).

Stanford 83, No. 23 UCLA 74 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Chasson Randle made a career -high seven 3pointers and scored 26 points to help Stanford boost its case for an at-large NCAA tournament berth with a victory over UCLA. Josh Huestis tied a career high with 22 points and Anthony Brown had 18 for the Cardinal (18-8, 9-5 Pac-12), who have won five of six.

This might have been the most impressive of the bunch, coming against a ranked team playing its best basketball of the season. Stanford made 62 percent of its shots, topping 60 percent in a conference game for the first time since exactly 11 years ago against UCLA. Zach LaVine and Nor man Powell scored 14 points each and Tony Parker added 13 for the Bruins (21-6, 10-4).

No. 24 Ohio St. 64, Minnesota 46 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Sam Thompson scored 16 of his 19 points in the second half, leading Ohio State back from a 12-point deficit to defeat Minnesota.

The Buckeyes outscored the Golden Gophers 46-18 in the second half.

Lenzelle Smith Jr. added 13 points and Shannon Scott 10 for the Buckeyes (22-6, 9-6 Big Ten), who trailed by 10 at the half and by 12 early in the second half before taking control with a 17-0 run.

Andre Hollins had 13 points and DeAndre Mathieu added 12 for Minnesota (17-11, 6-9), which has lost six of its last eight games to slide off the NCAA bubble. The Golden Gophers beat the Buckeyes 63-53 at home on Jan. 16 by forcing 18 turnovers and grabbing 15 more rebounds.

Detroit police feel the pain of city’s money woes DETROIT (AP) — It has come to this: Even some criminals sympathize with Detroit’s cops.

Baron Coleman thought he’d heard it all in his 17 years patrolling the streets. But then came the city’s bankruptcy, a 10 percent cut in police salaries, followed by support from a most unlikely corner — the bad guys.

“When they saw us take a pay cut they were in shock. We were arresting guys ... and they were like, ‘I can’t believe your city would do you like this.’ ...

I say, ‘Thanks for caring,”’ the veteran officer says with a smile. “It’s just funny because I don’t like communicating with a person who has just committed a robbery how sad my life is.”

Detroit police officers have long known adversity: They’ve worked in crumbling station houses with busted pipes, driven run-down cars, tangled with balky radios. They’ve navigated darkened streets — Detroit has thousands of broken street lights — chasing criminals, breaking up fights, encountering drug dealers who may be carrying AK-47s or

wearing their own bulletproof vests.

As Detroit tries to rebound — a plan to emerge from bankruptcy was filed Friday — few groups, if any, have been feeling the pain of the city’s financial collapse more than the police.

Despite some recent positive changes — a new chief, new cruisers, new plans — there’s worry, frustration and anger among the rank and file.

Paychecks have shrunk.

Morale is low. Co-workers have fled to more lucrative jobs. And those who remain face a formidable task: trying to protect a sprawling, often violent city where hidden dangers lurk among tens of thousands of abandoned houses.

Baron Coleman knows it’s hard being a police officer anywhere. In these trying times, it may be a lot harder in Detroit.

Nearly a generation ago, when Coleman traded a factory job for a badge and crisp blue uniform, he had certain expectations: a good salary, great benefits and a pension.

The bankruptcy erased all that. The city’s finan-

cial future is uncertain. So is his own.

Though he still enjoys being an officer, Coleman he says he never dreamed that as he approached age 50, he’d be working seven days a week — moonlighting in security jobs — to pay for two kids in school and compensate for a $15,000 drop in benefits and wages.

“Right now, the dream of what I came on for has been destroyed,” he says.

“I’m worried. Is my pension going to be there? If I get injured, is the city going to cover my family? ... Before I would tell my wife, ‘If I die, I know you’ll be taken care of.’ Now, I tell her, ‘If I die, you’re on your own.’“ The plan by Detroit’s emergency financial manager to pull the city out of bankruptcy would give police and fire retirees at least 90 percent of their pensions after eliminating cost-of-living allowances (other city workers would likely get at least 70 percent). But that plan probably faces court challenges and hinges on proposed state funding, among other factors.

While so many unre-

UAW official says union remains financially strong DETROIT (AP) — The man who appears poised to take over leadership of the United Auto Workers later this year says car companies’ fears about the union’s demise are unfounded.

Membership has dropped from a peak of 1.5 million in 1979 to 382,000 at the end of 2012, although it’s been rising slightly since 2009. Annual dues, the union’s main income source, are down 40 percent since 2006.

Dennis Williams joined the union in 1977 as a welder and is now secretarytreasurer for the union. He concedes that it has been selling off stocks and other assets to balance the budget for the past seven years. But he says it also has cut spending, and more cuts are coming.

Delegates to the union’s four -year convention in June will be asked to

solved issues linger, the department is under new leadership. James Craig knew all about the department’s troubles, but the for mer Detroit police officer who spent much of his 37-year law enforcement career in Los Angeles eagerly returned home last summer to take

increase dues to help with the problem, and Williams says rising membership has started to reverse the trend of declining dues.

Williams, who led the union’s successful effort to organize an Illinois Mitsubishi plant in the late 1980s, says he’s confident the UAW will someday organize another foreign-owned auto plant in the South, even though it narrowly lost an election earlier this month at a Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Like other UAW officials, he blamed the loss on statements by Tennessee Republican politicians who said VW would add an SUV to the plant if it remained nonunion. Some threatened to cut off state incentives for a plant expansion if the union was approved.

what he called his “dream job” — chief of police.

He is the fifth man to hold the position in five years. But he is undaunted.

In a report last month, Craig announced a sweeping reorganization and vowed to refor m a police department he said

had been woefully mismanaged and had “lost the confidence of the public, lost the confidence of its own officers and lost its way ...”

Or as Craig puts it more succinctly: “The bottom line — the department, like the city, was broken.”

Coal-ash dumps threaten community Feds offer mixed signals over the use of cellphones during air flights

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — From his modest home near the Cape Fear River, Sam Malpass can glimpse the tall stacks of Duke Energy’s Sutton Steam Electric Plant, a looming reminder of the environmental dangers threatening his family.

Contaminated groundwater from a pair of huge Sutton coal-ash dumps is headed toward the wells that provide drinking water for Flemington, a largely working class community a half mile from the entrance to Duke’s plant. Duke says the wells are safe. But the threat is so serious that the company has agreed to pay to extend pipes to connect residents to a public water system.

Despite the danger, the gover nment regulators responsible for protecting

the state’s natural resources have not taken action to force Duke to stop the spread of the underground plume of pollution encroaching closer to their homes each year.

According to a recent study, toxic chemicals leaking from Duke’s coalash dumps at Sutton have triggered genetic mutations in fish living in nearby Sutton Lake. Duke disputes that conclusion.

Meanwhile, 3 1/2 years ago, part of a big dike at Sutton collapsed, spilling toxic ash down the embankment.

“If you want to know what it’s like living near a coal ash pond, this is it,” said Malpass, 67, a retired carpenter and Vietnam veteran. “We’re afraid to drink the water because we don’t know what’s in it.

Flemington Road community member Sam Malpass of Wilmington, N.C. holds a glass of water from his home on Wednesday.

We can’t eat the fish because we don’t know if it’s safe anymore. It’s changed our lives out here.”

In the wake of Duke Energy’s massive coal ash

spill in Eden, people in the tight-knit Flemington community are paying close attention to the environmental disaster unfolding 200 miles to the northwest along the Dan River.

Governors: Legalized pot buzz just smoke

WASHINGTON (AP) — All the buzz at the National Governors Association meeting over legalizing pot, some say, is just smoke.

Nearly three months after Colorado began selling recreational marijuana, the nation’s governors are taking a cautious approach to loosening their drug laws despite growing support for legalization.

Republican and Democratic state chief executives meeting in Washington this weekend expressed broad concern for children and public safety should recreational marijuana use spread. At the same time, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is warning other governors against rushing to follow his lead.

He said he’s spoken to “half a dozen” gover nors with questions about his state’s experience, including some who “felt this was a wave” headed to their states.

“When governors have asked me, and several have, I say that we don’t have the facts. We don’t know what the unintended consequences are going to be,” Hickenlooper said. “I urge caution.”

The Democrat continued: “I say, if it was me, I’d wait a couple of years.”

States are watching closely as Colorado and Washington establish themselves as national pioneers after becoming the first states to approve recreational marijuana use in 2012. A group is hoping to add Alaska as the third state.

Colorado became the first to allow legal retail sales of recreational marijuana on Jan. 1 and Washington is expected to launch its marketplace soon.

Hickenlooper confirmed that early tax revenue collections on Colorado pot sales have exceeded projections but cautioned that tax revenue “is

absolutely the wrong reason to even think about legalizing recreational marijuana.”

Medical marijuana, meanwhile, is legal in 20 states and the District of Columbia. Florida voters will decide on a proposed constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana in November.

President Barack Obama’s administration has given states the green light to experiment with marijuana regulation.

Obama recently generated headlines when he said in an interview that he didn’t think marijuana was more dangerous than alcohol “in terms of its impact on the individual consumer.” He said smoking marijuana is “not something I encourage, and I’ve told my daughters I think it’s a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to deciding whether airline passengers can use their cellphones in flight, federal agencies are sending different signals to consumers.

The T ransportation Department, which regulates aviation consumer issues, indicated in a notice posted online Friday that it is considering retaining the 23-year-old ban on the calls, and asked for public comment.

Two months ago, the Federal Communications Commission voted to pursue allowing the calls. The FCC has responsibility for determining whether the use of cellphones in flight would interfere with cellular networks on the ground.

Polls show that many passengers, particularly frequent fliers, oppose allowing in-flight calls from passengers’ cellphones. Echoing their concer ns, the T ransportation Department said it believes allowing passengers to make cellphone calls “may be harmful or injurious” to others.

“People tend to talk louder on cellphones than when they’re having face-to-face conversa-

tions,” the department said. “They are also likely to talk more and further increase the noise on a flight, as passengers would not be simply talking to the persons sitting next to them but can call whomever they like.”

Some planes already have seat-back phones, but they are rarely used, the department said, adding that the concern “is not about individual calls, but rather the cumulative impact of allowing in-flight calls in close quarters.”

At the FCC, Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he wants to repeal the ban on cellphone use in flight, calling it restrictive and outdated. He also wants the airlines, not the government, to have final say on inflight calling. He declined to comment Friday on the T ransportation Department’s notice.

In an Associated Press-GfK poll three months ago, 48 percent of those surveyed opposed letting cellphones be used for voice calls while planes are in flight, while 19 percent were in favor and 30 percent were neutral.

Historical Foundation of Southeast New Mexico’s dinner to celebrate Corn legacy

JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

On Friday, March 21, the Historical Foundation of Southeast New Mexico will hold its annual dinner, Denim and Diamonds, at the Roswell Civic Center.

“This is the only event we have where we try to reach out to the community to raise funds,” said administrative director, and event coordinator, Bonnie Montgomery.

In years past, the foundation has featured ranches, historic places of interest or individuals who have shaped Roswell. This year, the foundation will honor an entire family whose presence has had profound influence not only in the community, but in the region.

The Corn family has been prolific from the beginning.

Martin Van Buren Cor n was born in 1841, in North Carolina, the first of 10 children. He and his parents first moved to Cherokee County, Ga., north of Atlanta, in the 1840s. They arrived in Kerr County, Texas, northwest of San Antonio, just before the Civil War. Martin joined the 36th Texas Cavalry, fighting on the side of the South. After the war, Martin married the

first of two wives, Mary Jane (Nichols) Hampton and bought a place outside of Kerrville. Later, he along with other family members, relocated to New Mexico.

The group traveled in covered wagons. The trip was described as harrowing — with in-fighting among the pioneers resulting in one death and Comanche raids — but it was not without its pleasures. The Corn clan stopped at the Seven Rivers region near Carlsbad, but later settled in South Spring just outside of present-day Roswell.

Martin staked his claim just north of Chisum Ranch.

He and his first wife maintained the family tradition of prodigious output.

The Corn family has been called yet another crop of Southeast New Mexico.

Local historian Morgan Nelson quipped: “You can’t live here for more than 20 years without becoming related to the Corns.”

Tracking the family tree — with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren — can be compared to reading the “begats” in the book of Genesis. Martin and Mary had nine children, and one stepson from Mary’s first husband. Their children married and had between them around 40

children. The family expanded throughout the generations. For example, the sixth son of Martin and Mary Robert married Maggie H. Bowden in 1900. The couple had seven children and Maggie had 87 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

After his first wife died, Martin married a second time to Julia Miller McVickers in 1886. She was born in 1870, and was 16 years old at the time of their union. She produced 11 children and was said to have more than 40 grandchildren and great-grandchildren at her bedside at

the time of her death.

Martin and his family came to Roswell when it consisted of two adobe buildings, a store, and a hotel owned by Capt.

Joseph C. Lea. Martin was attracted to the presence of shallow water in the area, and he was a pragmatist.

His first fence consisted of a ditch dug into the ground that soon filled with water and a gate, which allowed cattle access to rich grazing beyond the perimeter.

Martin also was an entrepreneur. He established a timber claim, and his sons planted cottonwoods on the north side of the path,

while Oregon Bell planted on the south. The original cottonwood trees are variously said to be imported from the upper Penesco River or from the Davis Mountains near Alpine, Texas. The lane soon became a trysting spot for courting couples and is still commemorated as Lover’s Lane, which is located between Roswell and Bitter Lake.

Martin was among the first to plant alfalfa, a crop introduced by Joe W. Poe. Martin raised not only cattle, but horses. Pat Garrett helped to build the first family home for Martin Van Buren Corn, a two-story adobe structure. The wood for the structure also had to be shipped in from Las Vegas. Martin sold Garrett the horse, Black Mat, which he reputedly rode when he went to capture Billy the Kid. Martin’s children scattered like chaff in the wind and acquired land grants of their own. Thus, Corns shaped the landscape.

Cor n properties dot the countryside throughout Chaves and Lincoln counties, stretching from Brown Lake near Capitan to Roswell. The Corns varied their stock and their crops, raising cattle, sheep or horses, depending upon to

the environment.

“The family always followed the water,” Glaze Sacra Jr. said, pointing to a map, “Not one family member moved east of the Pecos River.”

The Corn family left their mark not only on the land, but also upon the gene pool of Southeast New Mexico. The Corn women exhibit a great deal of pride in the family name. Many retain the name, such as Barbara Corn Patterson, even after they wed. Corn Patterson wrote a book about growing up in the region, “The Rock House Ranch: My Lazy-A-Bar Days.”

Those interested in learning more about the Corn family grove and the history of the Southeast should attend the Denim and Diamonds festivities and lend their support to the foundation. The buffet dinner will be catered by Peppers, and there will also be a cash bar.

The Yarbrough Band will provide a foot-stompin’ good time, and the cost of the ticket, $75 per individual and $600 per table, will help preserve the history of this unique region of New Mexico. Seating is limited.

Reservations are required.

The Navy Band Sea Chanters is the United States Navy’s official chorus. The ensemble performs a variety of music ranging from traditional choral music, including sea chanteys and patriotic fare, to opera, Broadway, and contemporary music.

Under the leadership of Chief Musician Adam Tyler, the Sea Chanters perform for the public throughout the United States. At home

in Washington, they perform for the president, vice president and numerous congressional, military and foreign dignitaries.

In 1956, Lt. Harold Fultz, then the band’s assistant leader, organized a group from the Navy School of Music to sing chanteys and patriotic songs for the State of the Nation dinner.

An immediate success, Adm. Arleigh Burke, then chief of naval operations, transferred them to the Navy Band, named them the Sea Chanters and tasked this all-male chorus with perpetuating the songs of the sea. In 1980, the group added women to their ranks and expanded their repertoire to include everything from Brahms to Broadway.

Scarf Savvy

Scarves are a surefire way to pull together unrelated separates. Update a dress or blouse in a lessthan-best shade by using a scar f to frame your face with a flattering color.

Scarves instantly draw attention upward on your body, creating a taller, trimmer appearance. Keep these points in mind when you shop: · Oblong scarves are the most versatile. · Multicolor print scarves that combine several of your best colors are the best investment. The style of the print should relate to your personal style (romantic florals, dramatic abstracts, etc.) · Silk scarves tie easily and drape beautifully. Only the finest polyesters even approach silk’s beauty. · Wool and rayon challis scarves look great in cool weather, but can be bulky to tie. Drape them over a shoulder instead. · Economical cotton bandanas can add pizzazz to very casual sportswear for just pennies. · Straight-grain scarves tie crisper bows; bias-cut scarves fall more softly. · Good scarves never go out of style, so invest in scarves you love and wear them for years. · T ry folding longer square scarves into versatile oblong shapes for a different look.

C4 Sunday, February 23, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: Can you be sexually harassed/abused by your spouse?

My husband talks dirty to me and grabs at my breasts. I have repeatedly asked him to stop, but he doesn’t listen and continues to do it. We have two small kids at home, and by the time they go to bed, I could care less about being intimate.

His behavior disgusts me, and to be honest, I don’t want to have sex with him. I have female problems and have told him it hurts, but it makes no difference to him. He touches me in front of the kids, and I have to slap his hand away.

I can’t leave him because I don’t have a car or income for myself, nor do I have family or friends close by. I can’t go to his family because they see him in a different light. What would you suggest, and is it harassment — and could I press charges?

LEAVE MY AURA ALONE DEAR AURA: You have mentioned so many problems in your short letter that it’s hard to know where to begin.

While your husband’s attempts at foreplay are beyond clumsy and ineffective, I can’t help but feel some sympathy for him because it appears you have him on a starvation diet.

How long this can continue for either of you is uncertain. Rather than try to charge harassment, why not schedule an appointment with your gynecologist and find out WHY having sex is painful for you. It is not supposed to be, and your doctor may be able to help you resolve the problem. Marriage counseling might also help, because it’s clear you and your husband aren’t communicating

COMICS

on any meaningful level.

If these problems are not resolvable, you can’t continue living like this and neither can he. Because your family isn’t nearby and you have no transportation, call or write them and let them know you may need their help to return. If they are unable to help you, contact a domestic abuse hotline. Unwanted sexual advances could be considered harassment, and sex without consent is rape. ##### DEAR ABBY: It absolutely frosts me when parents head for the toy department so their children will have something to play with while they shop. Then, after the kids have spent time drooling, teething, sneezing, etc., they leave the dirty toys at the end of the aisle for someone else to buy.

Yesterday I saw a child sucking on the paw of a stuffed animal.

When I commented on how that must be the child’s favorite toy, the mother said it wasn’t theirs — she was just keeping the little boy quiet

while she shopped.

Last week I stood behind someone in the checkout line. In her child’s mouth was the ribbon from a Mylar balloon. When the mother finished loading her groceries onto the conveyor belt, she said, “Time to put this back now!”

It’s my pet peeve: First the germs they get from sucking on this stuff, then the ones everyone else is exposed to from the child. And on top of that there’s the stealing, because I have seen children break toys.

This is wrong, and we’re all paying for it. Why can’t these parents throw something in the diaper bag before they leave home?

PUT IT DOWN! IN VIRGINIA

Family Circus

DEAR PUT IT DOWN: Because the parents aren’t doing their job — they are forgetful or lazy, and have no consideration for the store owners or other shoppers.

Sadly, parents like the ones you have described raise children who are just like themselves.

Wouldn’t it be nice if women’s clothing had extra buttons placed where they could easily be found if they needed replacing? — A Reader in Florida” You’re right! Some women’s shirts do have an extra button attached, usually on an inseam, but those little envelopes with the extra buttons can be a bother to keep up with.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: I read in your column about service animals and was wondering if you might be able to clarify. You said that according to the Americans With Disabilities Act, store personnel may ask only two questions, and that a medical card or letter is not required.

I have a friend who is legally blind, and I often drive her and her service dog to appointments, shopping, etc.

She carries a card that store personnel sometimes ask for, which states that she indeed has an authentic service dog. I was just wondering if it is possible that the laws are different in different states?

N.C., Colorado Springs, Colo.

According to the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act), employees may not ask for certification or identification. While most service animals wear a special harness, leash or vest that shows they are “working,” and may have certification or identification cards, they don’t need one.

It is great that your friend carries the card with her. And if asked if her dog is a service dog, showing the card definitely would make store personnel feel assured that her dog is in fact a service dog. Remember, service dogs are NOT pets! They help people with many tasks.

Some state laws (not all) about service animals seem to follow the ADA requirements. But if you or my other readers have questions on your state’s laws about service animals, contact the state’s attorney general.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: I write a lot of letters to friends. I cut one of the sample perfume pages from magazines and put it in with the letter. Gives a pleasant smell when they open the envelope.

A star’s downfall at historically black Alcorn LORMAN, Miss. (AP) — M. Christopher Brown II was regarded as a rising star in the world of historically black universities and a transformational leader at Mississippi’s Alcorn State University. Hired at just 38, he and the university were winning awards and Alcorn’s profile was on the rise.

But by his third year on the job, complaints began to surface about money spent on lavish upgrades to the president’s residence and the relationship between a Brown aide and a production company that staged campus concerts, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request. Amid an investigation of the spending by the board that oversees the university, Brown and two others resigned in December.

The probe and resignations

come at a time when Alcorn and other historically black schools are working to recover from the recession. Mississippi’s three historically black public universities fought off a proposal by former Gov. Haley Barbour to merge them, and overall higher education spending in Mississippi has only begun to recover from sharp cuts.

“I’m sick about it because it’s going to impact recruiting, support from the Legislature, everything,” said Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds, who oversees the state’s public universities.

Hundreds of pages of invoices, checks, emails and other correspondence reviewed by the AP show Alcor n spent almost $89,000 on furniture and renovations at the president’s house — all without seeking bids as required under state law. The

documents also show the production company associated with Brown’s aide university collected $85,000 in fees as part of the money Alcorn paid it. And an auditor says the school spent more than $67,000 in bond money on projects that weren’t allowed in the lending agreement.

The documents reveal for the first time details of the spending that led to Brown’s departure, which were known only among a select group of students, faculty and alumni. When Brown resigned, Bounds would only say it was related to an investigation into possible purchasing violations.

Students interviewed Wednesday on campus said they’d only heard rumors about why Brown left.

“It was kind of sudden, but no one really spoke on it. We didn’t

know the president was gone unless we looked on a website,” said Ayobunni Saleem, a freshman biology major from Milwaukee.

The documents show Brown was aware of the spending on the president’s house and the concerts. It’s not clear, though, whether he knew before the probe started that money was being spent in ways that auditors would question. Reached at his home in Las Vegas, Brown declined to comment and didn’t return other messages.

In one email, Brown complains about unfinished work in the bedroom and bathroom at the two-story stucco and brick structure that overlooks a lake near Alcorn’s football stadium.

“Regrettably, I don’t function maximally in varying stages of incomplete; particularly, without clarity regarding expected deliv-

ery dates,” Brown wrote in an email dated Oct. 13, 2013, to Alcorn Senior Vice President for University Operations Betty Jean Roberts, who oversaw purchasing.

The investigation was launched after whistleblower complaints to the College Board, which runs Alcorn and Mississippi’s seven other public universities. The state auditor’s office is also investigating, said spokesman Brett Kittredge, who declined to provide further details.

When Brown joined Alcorn in 2011, he was viewed as an upand-comer who had studied the history of historically black schools and served as provost at one — Tennessee’s Fisk University — before joining Alcorn. He had previously been dean of the college of education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

AP Source: Tribal killing Oil train wrecks spur railroad safety measures suspect target of probe

ALTURAS, Calif. (AP) — The woman who police say killed three family members and a worker at the headquarters building for an Indian tribe that was evicting her and her son from its land was the target of a federal investigation into at least $50,000 in missing tribal funds.

Investigators have been looking into whether Cherie Lash Rhoades took federal grant money meant for the Cedarville Rancheria tribe she once led, a person familiar with the tribe’s situation told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke only on condition of anonymity.

Rhoades recently was ousted as chairwoman of the 35-member tribe that includes many of her relatives.

On Thursday afternoon, her brother, Rurik Davis, and other tribal members were attending a meeting involving Rhoades’s potential eviction at the headquarters building in the rural northeastern California community of Alturas.

It’s unclear precisely when the shooting began, but in quick succession Davis, 50;

Rhoades’ niece, Angel Penn, 19; her nephew, Glenn Calonicco, 30; and Shelia L ynn Russo, 47, were killed.

Investigators were looking into whether the embezzlement allegations spurred the tribe’s efforts to evict Rhoades, but had not established any definitive motive, Alturas Police Chief Ken Barnes said Friday.

“If we could confirm or deny that, it would help me toward a motive,” Barnes said.

Eviction from tribal housing is among the most serious punishments for American Indians. One of Rhoades’ nephews, Jason Penn, said Davis was behind the effort.

“Her brother drove her too far,” Penn said as he stood in the front yard of Rhoades’ home on the tribe’s land in Cedarville, about 15 miles from Alturas.

Penn said he drove into Alturas on Thursday with Rhoades, and she dropped him off at a cousin’s home before going to tribal headquarters. He later heard about the shooting.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Railroads that haul volatile crude shipments have reached an agreement with U.S. transportation officials to adopt wide-ranging, voluntary safety measures after a string of explosive and deadly accidents.

The deal signed Friday calls for oil trains to be slowed from a maximum of 50 to 40 miles per hour through major cities, more frequent track inspections and better emergency response planning along routes that carry trains hauling up to 3 million gallons of crude each.

The new safety steps would begin going into effect in late March and be fully in place by July 1.

After a boom in domestic drilling in recent years, oil trains now travel thousands of miles from oil producing areas, including the Northern Plains, to coastal refineries and shipping terminals along the Mississippi River and other major waterways.

spate of rail accidents in recent years. It also does not address an estimated 78,000 flawed tank cars that carry crude and ethanol and are known to split open during derailments.

The U.S. Department of T ransportation said it would address the tank car issue separately.

By taking voluntary

steps, the railroads will be able to act more quickly than if they waited for new safety rules to be drafted and approved by the gover nment, said Robert Chipkevich, a former director of rail accident investigations at the National Transportation Safety Board.

But regulators will have little leverage to enforce

the industry’s commitments, he added.

“It’s a positive step,” Chipkevich said. “But certainly there’s nothing to say they would have to continue following those practices. The only way you can enforce something like that would be for regulators to publish regulations and do periodic oversight.”

Kerrigan looks back, 20 years after Harding drama

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Nancy Kerrigan stood in front of a group of reporters, voice quivering and hands fidgeting as she described her emotions after watching a one-hour retrospective on the figure skating scandal that shook the Olympic earth 20 years ago.

There were only a handful of media members in the room with her Friday as opposed to the hundreds that hounded her in 1994 after rival skater Tonya Harding’s ex-husband put together a hit squad to try to keep Kerrigan from skating against Harding in the Lillehammer Olympics. But as she fumbled with her cellphone

and tugged at the bottom of her stylish jacket, it was clear that watching the events unfold again in a press conference room in Sochi all these years later brought bubbling back to the sur face those same feelings of helplessness and bewilderment.

“It made me think about everything all over again,” Kerrigan said after a screening of “Nancy & Tonya,” which will air on NBC on Sunday.

“It’s surprising how this whole event and being attacked, it’s changed not just skating, it changed my life. It changed tabloid journalism, reality television. That whole other aspect that I had no part

of. It just moved the world, almost, in a different direction. Whether it’s for the better or not, who knows?

It just changed everything.”

Kerrigan and Harding were two of the brightest stars in American figure skating when they arrived in Detroit for the U.S. championships in 1994, about six weeks ahead of the Lillehammer Games.

Kerrigan was knocked out of the competition when an associate of Harding’s exhusband whacked her on the right knee with a baton. It touched off a staggering scandal that pushed figure skating into the mainstream and made the camera-shy Kerrigan

the uncomfortable subject of international fascination.

Kerrigan recovered in time to win a silver medal in Lillehammer, while Harding spun out of control.

“It’s a little surreal to watch your life and to think, ‘That’s me,”’ Kerrigan, who works for NBC as a skating analyst for the Sochi Games, said after watching the show. “It’s almost like a whole other person at this point. I’ve changed. Well, I haven’t changed really much, just moved on. Things in my life are different. I’m basically the same sort of competitive person, but it’s just things move on.”

Obama to award Medal of Honor to 24 Army veterans WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to correct potential acts of bias spanning three wars, President Barack Obama will award the Medal of Honor to 24 Army veterans following a congressionally mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients were not bypassed due to prejudice.

The unusual mass ceremony, scheduled for March 18, will honor veterans, most of Hispanic or Jewish heritage, who had already been recognized with the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second-highest military award. Only three of the recipients are living.

“I never really did worry about decorations,” said one of those being honored, Melvin Morris of Cocoa, Fla., who was commended for courageous actions while a staff sergeant during combat operations on Sept. 17, 1969, in the vicinity of Chi Lang, South Vietnam.

Morris, who is black, said in an interview that it never occurred to him that his race might have prevented him from receiving the Medal of Honor. He said it was a huge surprise when the Army contacted him last May about the review and then arranged for a call from Obama.

“I fell to my knees. I was shocked,” Morris said.

“President Obama said he was sorry this didn’t happen before. He said this should have been done 44 years ago.”

The other living recipients are Spc. 4 Santiago J. Erevia of San Antonio, cited for courage during a search and clear mission near Tam Ky, South Vietnam, on May 21, 1969;

and Sgt. 1st Class Jose Rodela of San Antonio, cited for courage during combat operations in Phuoc Long province, South Vietnam, on Sept.

1, 1969.

The Army conducted the review under a directive from Congress in the 2002 National Defense Authorization Act. The law required that the record of each Jewish American and Hispanic American veteran who received a Service Cross during or after World War II be reviewed for possible upgrade to the Medal of Honor.

The Pentagon said the Army reviewed the cases of the 6,505 recipients of the Distinguished Service Cross from World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars and found an eligible pool of 600 soldiers who may have been Jewish or Hispanic. The Army also worked with the National Museum of American Jewish Military History, the Jewish War Veterans of the USA and the American GI Forum, the largest Hispanic-American veterans group, to pinpoint potential medal recipients.

Of the 24, eight fought in the Vietnam War, nine in the Korean War and seven in World War II. The posthumous recipients are: —Sgt. Candelario Garcia, bor n in Corsicana, Texas, for courageous actions during combat operations in Lai Khe, South Vietnam, on Dec. 8, 1968.

— Spc. 4 Leonard L. Alvarado, born in Bakersfield, Calif., died during combat operations in Phuoc Long province,

South Vietnam, on Aug. 12, 1969.

— Staf f Sgt. Felix M. Conde-Falcon, bor n in Juncos, Puerto Rico, killed during combat operations in Ap Tan Hoa, South Vietnam, on April 4, 1969.

— Spc. 4 Ardie R. Copas of Fort Pierce, Fla. killed during combat operations near Ph Romeas Hek, Cambodia, on May 12, 1970.

— Spc. 4 Jesus S. Duran of San Bernardino, Calif., for courageous actions during combat operations in South Vietnam on April 10, 1969.

— Cpl. Joe R. Baldonado, bor n in Colorado, killed during combat operations in Kangdong, North Korea, on Nov. 25, 1950.

— Cpl. Victor H. Espinoza of El Paso, Texas, for courageous actions during combat operations in Chorwon, North Korea, on Aug. 1, 1952.

— Sgt. Eduardo C. Gomez, born in Los Angeles, for courageous actions during combat operations in Tabu-dong, South Korea, on Sept. 3, 1950.

— Pfc. Leonard M. Kravitz, born in New York City, killed during combat operations in Yangpyong, South Korea, on March 67, 1951.

— Master Sgt. Juan E. Negron of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, for courageous actions during combat operations in Kalma-Eri, North Korea, on April 28, 1951.

Nugent backlash reveals rare misstep for Texas GOP

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Mitt Romney rallied with Kid Rock and President George W. Bush had a fan in Alice Cooper. But a Ted Nugent encore in the Texas governor’s race is growing unlikely after blowback from Republican Greg Abbott’s embrace of the ultimate shock rocker.

Call it a rare case of veering too far right in Texas this election year.

Abbott, the leading Republican candidate to succeed Gov. Rick Perry, acknowledged Friday that Nugent calling President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel” last month merited an apology.

The brash gun-right activist made two campaign appearances with Abbott this week.

Nugent, who has also suggested treating immigrants like “indentured servants,” had apologized earlier Friday for the Obama slur after it was disavowed by Gov. Rick Perry and Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

But Abbott, who until now had claimed ignorance about Nugent’s divisive comments, didn’t back away from inviting Nugent to rallies in the first place.

“This is not the kind of language I would use or endorse in any way. It’s time to move beyond this, and I will continue to focus on the issues that matter to Texans,” Abbott said in a statement.

The Nugent flap was the latest example of GOP candidates staying unabashedly to the right as they approach the state’s March 4 primary, which will move Texas closer to its biggest power shakeup in a decade. Every statewide office could change hands this November. Perry and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz could also present two potential 2016 presidential candidates from Texas.

The tone of the GOP race contrasts with assertions by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis and her party that Texas is becoming a broader political battleground as its demographics change.

Provocative conservative proposals to repeal the 17th Amendment, which lets voters — not state legislatures — pick U.S. senators, have been kicked around in the race for lieutenant governor. One of the candidates called the flow of immigrants from Mexico an “invasion.” Anti-

abortion credentials are discussed as freely as energy ideas among Republicans vying to regulate the state’s oil and gas industry.

Within the last year, Texas passed a divisive 20-week ban on abortions, imposed cuts that caused Planned Parenthood clinics to shutter and enacted one of the nation’s most stringent voter ID laws. That hasn’t protected the Republican House speaker, however, from a far-right group that has collected six-figure donations for primary challengers against him and top lieutenants.

The tack reflects a clear judgment about Republican voters’ tastes. “All they seem to argue about is who’s the most conservative — which is good for me,” said voter Bob Baker after taking his seat at a Republican primary debate near Austin. “Just as normal as they shouldn’t have any conservatives in New York, we shouldn’t have any liberals in Texas.”

But the Nugent episode isn’t the first time a leading Republican may have touched a nerve.

State Rep. Jason Villalba, a rising Republican star in Texas, sharply

urged his party’s four lieutenant governor candidates to stop using harsh rhetoric about immigrants in the country illegally and “acknowledge the humanity” in an open letter this month.

“They’re not war -mongering adversaries. They’re seeking the American dream,” Villalba said.

Abbott, who’s been state attorney general since 2002 and boasts of suing the federal government 30 times, has essentially run a general-election campaign from the start. Abbott said inviting Nugent magnified a contrast with his Democratic opponent, who has made her pitch for conservative voters by coming out in favor of “open carry” gun laws before qualifying her stance.

But the Nugent appearance left Abbott on the defensive for one of the first times in the race.

“I don’t know what he may have said or done in his background,” Abbott said following a rally with Nugent on Tuesday.

“What I do know is Ted Nugent stands for the constitution. He stands against the federal government overreaching and doing what they’re doing to harm Texans.”

Perry, who isn’t seeking re-election after 14 years in office, said Thursday he’s “got a problem” with calling the president a mongrel and called the language inappropriate. But he predicted voters would not be distracted from Davis’ “liberal” record.

Davis spokesman Bo Delp blasted Abbott’s statement Friday for excluding “anything about his poor judgment” to embrace Nugent.

Nugent told Dallas radio station WBAP that he apologized “for using the street fight terminology of subhuman mongrel.” But he maintained that Obama was a “liar” violating the Constitution Nugent, who’s also treasurer of a Republican candidate for Texas agriculture commissioner, said Texas must defend its brand of ultra-conservatism.

“This is special. There is no other Texas anymore,” Nugent said while introducing Abbott this week. “This is last bastion of rugged individualism, of true independence.”
