Long waits frustrate callers to health exchanges

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — For those trying to enroll t h r o u gh o nl i n e h e a lt h exchanges, help has long been advertised as just a phone call away.

Ye t t h e c hall e n ge i n some states has been trying to get a call through at all, never mind the multiple transfers once contact has been made.

Long wait times of an hour or more have been co m m o n p la ce i n s om e st a t es , p r i mar il y t h o se running their own health care exchanges. California, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada and Washington are among the states in wh ic h con s um e r s a n d in su r a n ce ag e n t s h av e complained. One conse-

quence is that people just give up because they are unable to wait indefinitely. “ I f I h a d t o u se o ne wor d , I ’ d u s e ‘ fr u st r a ting,”’ said Jacki Manley, a stay-at-home mom in the western Maryland town of Keedysville, who has been trying since mid-December to enroll in a health plan through that state’s health exchange.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico officials frustrated with the federal heatlhcare.gov website are considering extending the deadline to join the staterun health insurance exchange.

City Council candidate for Ward 2, Caleb Grant spoke at the Federated Republican Women of Chaves County public forum held on Feb. 19. He revealed that there are nearly $1.2 million in fines outstanding from Municipal Court.

Grant told the Daily Record: “The police chief brought it up on Feb. 13 (at the last City Council meeting).”

Grant did investigations of his own, requesting the most current list of outstanding fines from Municipal Court records. “To be precise, there’s $1,148,627.50 owed to the city in unpaid fines.”

Variations in the figures illustrate that unpaid fines accrue daily.

“As of July 2013, there

were $1,086,00 in outstanding fines (compared to the $1.2 million reported in said City February),” Councilor Jason Perry.

According to Grant, about $703,000 are 180 days past due. “Some date back to the 1980s,” he said.

His statistics come from a 141-page report, and of the 141 pages, 105 pages originated in the last five years, Grant said.

Municipal Court deals with low-level crime, while Magistrate and District Court deal with felony of fices. Roswell Police Deputy Chief Brad McFadin explained that Municipal Court has jurisdiction over misdemeanor crimes, such as traf fic citations, possession of marijuana under an ounce, graffiti and criminal dam-

Washington leak Fouratt recalls roots in Roswell raises concerns about waste tanks JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — While one of the newer double-walled nuclear waste storage tanks at a Washington state complex has leaked, six others have “significant construction flaws” that could lead to additional leaks, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The 28 double-walled tanks at Hanford nuclear waste complex hold some of the worst radioactive waste at the nation’s most contaminated nuclear weapons site.

One of those giant tanks was found to be leaking in 2012. But subsequent surveys of the other doublewalled tanks performed for the U.S. Department of Energy by one of its Hanford contractors found at least six shared defects

with the leaking tank that could lead to future leaks, the documents said. Thirteen additional tanks also might be compromised, according to the documents.

Questions about the storage tanks jeopardize efforts to clean up radioactive waste at the southeastern Washington site. Hanford cleanup already costs taxpayers about $2 billion a year.

“It is time for the Department (of Energy) to stop hiding the ball and pretending that the situation at Hanford is being effectively managed,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., wrote Friday in a letter to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.

Newly appointed secretary for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety Gregory J. Fouratt could be viewed as a native son of Roswell. His family came to Roswell in 1967 and 1969 to live when his father served in the Vietnam.

The family moved here permanently in 1970 to be close to his mother’s parents who had been part of Walker Air Force Base and had chosen to remain in the city after its dissolution.

He is proud of his roots in Roswell. He lived in the southwest side of the city when he attended Monterrey Elementary and then moved to the central part of the city, where he went to Missouri Avenue Elementary.

He also expresses pride in the Roswell Independ-

“I’m a product of its public school system and lear ned the values and virtues the city had when we were growing up. I’ve benefited my whole life from the upbringing I received here.”

Fouratt attended St. Peter’s Parish. At the age of 10, he participated in St. Peter's first altar boy experimental classes. He refers to it as a formative part of his youth.

His ties to this community are tight and some of his friendships are life long.

Local attor ney Doug Jones Witt was his best friend in high school, and the two have known each other since Witt was 4 years old and Fouratt was 5.

back at lunch and then let them play in the afternoon without worrying about anything more than the normal scrapes and bruises.

“There was very little significant crime. Nothing that parents worry about today.”

Fouratt said he found the current crime statistics in Roswell worrisome precisely because of his love for the city, although he believes that the increase in crime is not exclusive to Roswell, but a nationwide problem.

“People have changed; the economy has changed.”

New Mexico youth ranch hit with 3rd lawsuit SANTA FE (AP) — A central New Mexico ranch for troubled youth became embroiled in a third lawsuit this week.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the grandparents of a former participant in the Tierra Blanca Ranch High Country Youth Pr ogram filed a complaint Thursday in state District Court in Santa Fe. According to the complaint, James and Cheryl Morgan are seeking damages for their grandson’s treatment. They allege he was physically and emotionally abused and forced to work without compensation.

STATE BRIEFS

New law protects service members’ parental rights

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico parents who also serve in the armed forces won’t have to worry about child custody disputes while away on deployment.

Gov. Susana Martinez signed into law Saturday legislation that will ensure child-custody arrangements cannot be modified in any way if one parent is currently deployed.

Martinez signed Senate Bill 130, the Service Member Child Custody Act, during a ceremony.

The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Daniel IveySoto (D-Albuquerque) and state Rep. Nathan Cote (DOrgan).

Martinez says the new law means service members can focus on fighting the enemy abroad instead of thinking about custody battles back home.

GOP votes on primary candidates

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico Republican leaders have put more than one candidate on the primary election ballot in two contested races.

The agency recently said its staff doesn’t have any authority to oversee the ranch because it is categorized as a wilderness program.

The ranch settled its own lawsuit against the state Feb. 21, challenging an investiga-

Michael Frese, a Corrales business owner, outpaced retired Army officer Richard Priem of Albuquerque, 64.4 to 36.5 percent, in the race for the U.S. District 1 House seat.

In the other races, including gover nor, the candidates appear to be unopposed.

New district attorney named in eastern NM

SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez has appointed a new top state prosecutor for two eastern New Mexico counties.

Martinez announced Friday that Andrea Reeb of Clovis will be the district attor ney for the Ninth Judicial District.

Martinez says Reeb has more than 17 years of prosecuting experience.

Reeb, who previously served as chief deputy district attorney, takes over for former District Attorney Matthew Chandler.

Chandler’s last day is Saturday and he is leaving to go into private practice.

However, Chandler previously said he would continue to handle the case in which a Roswell middle school student faces juvenile charges in a shooting

Under a signed agreement, T ierra Blanca agreed to give the Children, Youth and Families Department access to students and their files for the next 12 months. Ranch owners also agreed not to use r estraints and to supervise teenagers placed in segregation.

Governor unveils new adoption ‘Heart Gallery’

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez and other state officials have unveiled New Mexico’s newest gallery aimed at finding homes for children in foster case.

She visited Albuquerque on Friday to celebrate the opening of the Heart Gallery at the Of fice of African American Affairs.

The exhibit features the portraits of African-American foster kids who are available for adoption.

This is the 14th Heart Gallery to open in New Mexico.

Martinez says it’s another step forward in the state’s effort to find families for the children.

Galleries are also up inside the governor’s office in Santa Fe, at the Albuquerque Sunport, UNM Hospital, UNM Arena and several other locations around the state.

As of January, there were close to 2,000 New Mexico children in foster care. In Bernalillo County, there are 215 children who are available for adoption.

ended legislative session.

“The settlement demonstrates we can apply a simple, common-sense standard to the pertinent issues and arrive at an understanding,” he said in a recent statement, noting the agreement came “at an exceedingly heavy price.”

Children, Youth and Families Department spokesman Henry Varela said it gives the agency access to the children until it can try again next year to pass a law regulating such programs.

The settlement has no effect on a criminal investigation of the ranch, Varela said. That

been interested in sports, but he says his mother had a one-sport rule. Her children had to select one sport during the school year. The rest of the time, they were to concentrate on their studies. At Roswell High, his sport of choice was tennis. To this day, he is a runner, but he’s given up tennis in preference to golf.

His mother instilled in her children a strong work ethic. To a certain extent, he followed in his brother’s, E.J. Fouratt III, footsteps.

“If he delivered papers, I delivered papers. If he swept floors, I swept floors.

If he pulled weeds, I pulled weeds. When he went to work for a butcher, though, I stopped following him.”

E.J. went into law enforcement. Fouratt went into the military. E.J. has retired from the state police, but he still works as a unifor med of ficer at NMMI. The career paths of Fouratt’s family followed two lines and were passed through the generations.

“My mother’s side of the family were in the military; my father’s family were all law enforcement.”

Fouratt chose active service in the Air Force, but

LOTTERY NUMBERS

State police in October served a search warrant on the ranch to investigate allegations of abuse, including claims that teens were shackled for months at a time.

No one was there when they arrived, sparking a high profile Amber Alert.

The children, who Chandler said had been on a previously scheduled camping trip, were all found safe with their parents.

not as a pilot. This presented little chance for promotion. His father, E.J. Fouratt Jr., insisted his son go to law school. He received a full scholarship from Texas Tech in Lubbock.

“I packed up my Nissan truck and drove to Lubbock from California … I immediately wondered what I had done, but I got through that first year and I’m grateful to my Dad for insisting I study law.”

He remained in the Air Force reserves while in school and after he left, he worked for the Judge Advocate General Corp. Then, he switched to being a fulltime federal prosecutor.

Fouratt said he became a prosecutor because it was a natural progression for him, although he completed summer internships in civil law, including a stint with the local law firm of Sanders, Bruin, Coll and Worley, but felt himself drawn to the prosecution side of criminal law.

“Some people have no use for defense attorneys; I am not one of them.

Defense attorneys breathe life into our Constitution.”

As the secretary of Department of Public Safety, he sees his role as supporting the governor and working to ensure the safety of the citizen.

“It’s already a mature

division that had been in existence for decades and decades … There are four separate agencies. The State Police are the largest component of the DPS, Motor Transport Division, State Crime Lab and the Special Investigation Division. It has a budget of $140 million and employs 1,300 people.”

Among his plans are to increase DPS resources through grants. “I will be in court when I need to be.”

He understands the challenges ahead. According to Fouratt, the State Crime Lab covers chemistry, ballistics, DNA testing, forensic fingerprinting. The Lab faces the same difficulties that the Office of the Medical Investigator faces with staff being required to travel all over the state to testify at trials.

“This is dictated by the U.S. Constitution. They must be there. New Mexico tried video testimony. ...

This was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Fouratt is well-suited for the task of secretary. As U.S. Attorney, he worked closely with the NMSP and the DPS. He spoke of three cases where he ordered to seek the death penalty in federal court. Each were NMSP cases.

cials in Richland said the agency continues to make thorough inspections of the tanks, and has increased the frequency of those inspections.

“They used to be reviewed every five to seven years,” said Tom Fletcher, the Energy Department’s assistant manager for tank farms.

“Now we are moving to a three-year time frame.”

The department is in the process of inspecting the final eight doublewalled tanks at Hanford that have not been analyzed since the leak was detected in late 2012, Fletcher said Friday.

No new leaks have been found, he said.

“If there are changes or improvements we need to make in the program, based on what we learn, to make sure we capture the risks that exist on the tank farms, we will make them,” Fletcher said.

He added the Energy Department continues to examine the possibility of building new storage tanks at Hanford.

Concer ns about the disposal of nuclear waste and the threat of leaks are not limited to Washington state. Two weeks ago, 13 workers at an underground nuclear dump in New Mexico were exposed to radiation. The above-ground radiation release led to the shutdown of operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant as

For Results You Can Measure

authorities investigate the cause of the leak and the health ef fects on employees.

Tom Carpenter of the citizen watchdog group Hanford Challenge said he wasn’t surprised that more of the doublewalled tanks are in danger of leaking.

“These tanks have an engineered design life, and we are reaching the end,” Carpenter said.

“It’s bad planning that they don’t have new tanks up and running.”

While new tanks are expensive, cleaning up a leak is more expensive, he added. “The price for cleaning up the environment once this stuff gets out there is incalculable.”

Hanford contains some 53 million gallons of high-level radioactive wastes from the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons. They are stored in 177 underground storage tanks, many of which date back to World War II and are single-walled models that have leaked. The 28 double-walled tanks were built from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Current plans call for transferring wastes from leaking single-walled tanks to the newer and bigger double-walled tanks, where the waste will be stored while a $13 billion plant for treating the waste is constructed.

age under $500, shoplifting and larceny under $250, and other thefts under $500.

“Repeat offenders are not being held accountable. They know they will be out in few hours. It’s a cycle.

People need to be held accountable for their acts,” said Grant. “There have got be consequences. If there’s no accountability, then there’s a message that you can get away with it.”

One of the problems is that, if the original fine is not paid, further fines are issued by the court. Perry said the current system of fines added to fines is not working.

“They’re getting fined $300, then when they don’t pay, a $150 fine is added and then another $200. Mind you, I’m not saying everyone should go to jail. You have the granny who takes a medication and then misses a stop sign, but I would dare say the average offender offends 11 times before he (or she) goes through true corrective action.”

The figures come from a study completed by RPD Chief Phil Smith.

“We looked at 100 people. Forty percent went to jail. Six out of 10 did not. We looked at a sampling of 20, those not serving jail time.”

Going back two years, Smith found that offenders re-offended 11 times before they were incarcerated.

He acknowledges the study is not a comprehensive one. “Perhaps, if we looked at a wider base or went back for a longer time period, the results would have been different.”

Perry viewed the problem in terms of the budget; funds are allotted to house offenders. In 2013, the Council allotted $350,000 of the fiscal budget to the corrections fund.

He said $222,055.58 were paid out from the corrections fund, compared to the $350,000 budgeted.

“That means 36.5 percent of the budgeted corrections fund were not used.”

Perry said that the Council would never take money away, but no further funds would be added as long as they are not being used.

Sunday, March 2, 2014 indicate that more money is spent this year. He said $156,054 were used so far this year. “We’ve got four to five more months to go.”

In 2013, the Roswell Police Department answered 55,214 calls for service. Often, these calls and subsequent arrests are dealing with repeat offenders.

Smith explained: “Five percent of the criminals are responsible for 95 percent of the headaches and low level crime constitutes 83 percent of the calls.

Grant did a ride-along with the Street Crimes Unit. He was impressed with the recently re-formed department.

“They know the repeat offenders.

He (Smith) is looking at it from the arrest side. I’m looking at it from the money side.”

The Council often wonders if the police department has enough officers, but Smith credits the turnover not to lack of pay, but to lack of support by the courts.

“How important and how valuable are the police officers in this city to ask them to repeat their efforts 11 times with the same offenders? How cost effective to the community?”

He takes a more hard line approach to the issue of jail. “Once they don’t pay the fines or do the community service, lock them up. You’re not going to force them to pay. When incarceration becomes a threat, they won’t blow off fines or community service.”

Collections is another issue. “Of the outstanding fines, $138,096 were collected. This money goes to pay municipal court secretarial staff and the rest went to reimburse the corrections fund. That means $378.34 a day collected went into the correction fund by those who were doing the offending,” Perry said.

No system exists to collect unpaid fines. Bench warrants for nonpayment can be issued for arrest. These meet with variable results.

The RPD issues 164 warrants every month and the majority are for failure to appear, failure to pay fines, or failure to comply with the conditions of probation and parole.

When it comes to collections, Perry said: “If we could just get a hold of those fines, it would pay to incarcer-

A3

ate offenders for 2.5 years (without adding to the budget).”

However in setting up a system of collection, the Council would have to look at what other communities are doing.

An alternative exists to stretch the corrections fund budget. CCDC estimates that it takes about $65 to keep a prisoner in their facility. The city has a contract with a facility in Texas.

The contract was arranged by Judge Hector Penida. The cost per day is $33.

Smith said: “It costs half that amount to send them to Texas.”

The facility is three hours away, but the Spur facility transports the prisoners. It is more strict.

“As out of state prisoners, they aren’t allowed to receive visitors or have access to the canteen,” McFadin said.

Officials believe the Spur facility is an under utilized resource. All agree that the goal is to get offenders off the street. Grant described a cycle were petty offenders gain confidence when fines and community service can be ignored, graduating from misdemeanor to felony offenses. Smith spoke of the drain on officer morale and financial resources. Perry pointed to the fiscal perspective, saying simply that “something is wrong.”

All said that crime would drop if repeat offenders were held responsible for their crimes. According to Smith, if six people get off with fines, it has a knock on effect resulting in 66 crimes.

“I’m not trying to make trouble for anybody. I’m just trying to answer the questions from the Council and the people. Two questions: One, what to do about the crime rate and, two, do we have enough officers? People often ask why are criminals returned to the streets and why can’t we do anything about it. The police and the courts are separate. We produce our case. It is up to the courts to prosecute.”

It again comes down to quality of life issues. Perry said: “If we can stop misdemeanor offenses, how much better off would Roswell be?”

(No figures were available from Magistrate or District Courts.)

‘12 Years a Slave’ rolls at Spirit Awards

SANTA MONICA, Calif.

(AP) — “12 Years a Slave� rolled at the Spirit Awards, winning five awards including best feature at the annual independent film celebration.

On the eve of the Academy Awards, the slavery tale won awards for director Steve McQueen, actress Lupita Nyong’o, screenwriter John Ridley and cinematographer Sean Bobbitt.

In a more laid-back, beachside ceremony in Santa Monica, just west of Los Angeles, “12 Years a Slave� was applauded as the clear favorite of the indie circuit.

The Spirit Awards could end up being — more than ever before — a dress rehearsal to Sunday’s Academy Awards. “12 Years a Slave� is considered, albeit extremely narrowly, the favorite for best picture over the space spectacle “Gravity� and the 1970s con-artist “American Hustle.� (Neither film was eligible at the Spirits, which honor films made for $20 million or less.)

The acting winners, too, may line up. All of the Oscar favorites won Saturday at the Spirits, including best actor for Matthew McConaughey in “Dallas Buyers Club� and Cate Blanchett in “Blue Jasmine.� McConaughey’s costar, Jared Leto, won best male supporting performance.

Leto gave what might be the acceptance speech to end all acceptance speeches, rattling off an absurd list of thank yous to not just those with “Dallas Buyers Club,� but Mark Twain, Jackson Pollack, Mozart, Herman Hess, Wayne Gretzky and many more. The actor -rocker added, with emphasis, “all the women I’ve been with and all the women who think they’ve been with me.�

For many, the Spirit Awards conclude months of award-season events, and they provide a chance to exhale before the Oscars.

McConaughey, Blanchett, Leto and Nyong’o have racked up a slew of awards, often triumphing over the same colleagues. “What am I going to say that I haven’t already said?�

Blanchett remarked in her acceptance speech. On her way into the luncheon, the actress also repeated her view of the renewed scandal surrounding “Blue Jasmine� director Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow’s claims he sexually assaulted her a child: “It’s a family issue, and I hope they can resolve it as a family.�

This award, one of many for Nyong’o, stood out for the now 31-year -old actress: “Not a bad way to celebrate my birthday,� she said.

Nyong’o dedicated the

award to her mother, Dorothy, who was in the audience, for years of driving her to auditions. “Your love has driven me this far,� she said.

Presented by Film Independent (a group of filmmakers, industry professionals and movie buffs) and hosted Saturday by Patton Oswalt, the Spirits are first and foremost a show to fete indie film and cast a spotlight on the little films that have to scrape money together to get made.

McQueen, with “12 Years a Slave� producer Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie looking on, reflected on how the naturalistic films of John Cassavetes “changed my life.� He dedicated his directing award to Cassavetes and Solomon Northup, the man whose memoir “12 Years a Slave� is based on.

In accepting the award for best first feature, “Fruitvale Station� director Ryan Coogler provided the afternoon’s most emotional moment. His film is about Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old black man shot while handcuffed by police. Coogler implored the audience to remember the “thousands of other Oscar Grants� and wondered why so many victims of such gun violence “always look like me.� The crowd gave him a standing ovation.

Several beloved fixtures of independent film were also remembered. The deaths of James Gandolfini, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Sunday, March 2, 2014

and critic Roger Ebert over the last year were singled out. Gandolfini’s wife, Deborah Lin, and one of their two children attended the ceremony. (The actor was nominated for best supporting male performance.)

The Spirits’ Robert Altman Award, an honor for best ensemble and director, was given to Jeff Nichols’ coming-of-age tale “Mud.�

The John Cassavetes Award, which honors films made for less than $500,000, went to the unlikely friendship drama “This Is Martin Bonner,� which director Chad Hartigan said was made for just $42,000. Gasps of admiration were heard throughout the beachside tent.

Other winners included “20 Feet From Stardom� for best documentary, “Blue Is the Warmest Color� for best international film, Bob Nelson of “Nebraska� for best first screenplay, and “Short Term 12� for best editing.

The spirit of thrifty striving pervaded. McConaughey (also a co-star in “Mud�) called indie work, “a feeder road� compared to the Autobahn of big-budget moviemaking. But he said he relished the freedom, even though it means “less zeroes on the paycheck.�

In his monologue, however, Oswalt put a less optimistic spin on it. He said that in the course of his opening remarks, “The Lego Movie� had made more money than all of the Spirit Award nominees combined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be surprised by a loved one or a child in the afternoon. Your response will be authentic, which will delight others. Be willing to let go of your defenses more often, and you might enjoy yourself and others more. Tonight: What would you most like to do?

This Week: Tap into your imagination for solutions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overwhelmed by the amount of calls you receive in the morning. As a result, you might decide to pull back and take some personal time this afternoon. Screen your calls, and make it a point to do what you want for a change.

Cuban rebel leader, ‘The Dating Game’ host Lange dies Castro foe Matos dies

MIAMI (AP) — Huber Matos Benitez, who helped lead the Cuban Revolution as one of Fidel Castro’s key lieutenants before his efforts to resign from the burgeoning communist government landed him in prison for 20 years, has died. He was 95.

Matos died Thursday at a Miami area hospital following a massive heart attack two days before, his grandson Huber Matos Garsault told The Associated Press.

He was to be buried in Costa Rica after a memorial service set for Sunday, his family said.

Matos was a 34-year-old rice farmer and teacher — and an opponent of Cuban dictator Gen. Fulgencio Batista — when Castro led a failed uprising in 1953. An inspired Matos later joined Castro and served as a commander in the Sierra Maestra mountains. The two clashed on occasion, but Matos claimed that at one point Castro named him third in line for leadership after Castro’s brother Raul.

The Argentinean Ernesto “Che” Guevara was fifth, Matos maintained.

In a May 2009 interview with the AP at his home in Miami, Matos said he joined

Douglas McArthur Parsons left this earthly plane on February 28, 2014, to reside eternally with his Heavenly Father. He was beloved and survived by his brother, Dan, sister-in-law, Kathy and his two nieces Dangela and Nyla all of beautiful and historic Roswell.

Douglas was born and abandoned in May of 1942 in Pike County, Kentucky.

He was given the birthday of May 5th and nicknamed Douglas McArthur by the hospital staff. He was nicknamed such because of his fighting spirit. He was soon adopted by Press and Myrtle Parsons who made that name official. His parents greeted him in heaven upon his arrival.

Douglas, because of his ill treatment at birth was severly dyslexic. That did not stop him from holding a number of different jobs during his life. He would also take care of older adults. He loved his nieces and loved joking and story telling with them. One of Douglas’ favorite things to do was walk. Up until this last year he would walk from south Sunset to Walmart a couple of times a week. His other favorite thing to do was go to church and he loved his church families at Central Christian, Christ’s Church and Highland Baptist.

Though you might not know because of his rough exterior but he loved and trusted God. He was always a proud and loyal son of the state of Kentucky. Sponsored by Senator Jim Bunning, Doug was commishioned as a Kentucky Colonel in 2006.

As per his request there will be no public service. In lieu of flowers Doug requested that donations be made to the Special Olympics.

Ellen Kay Henderson Rhodes passed away peacefully February 27, 2014 in Columbine Valley, Co at the age of 71.

Kay was born March 9, 1942 in Roswell, NM to Loren Edward Henderson and Vera Ellen Henderson.

Her parents have preceded her in death.

Kay graduated from Roswell High School in 1960 and attended Texas Tech and UNM where she received her BA degree in 1964. She taught school for several years at Valley High School in Albuquerque.

She and Joe Rhodes were married September 8, 1962 in the First Methodist Church in Roswell by Dr. Austin Dillon.

Joe then accepted a management position with Prudential Insurance which took them to Barrington, IL and with retirement from Prudential

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jim Lange, the first host of the popular game show “The Dating Game,” has died at his home in Mill Valley, Calif. He was 81.

He died Tuesday morning after suffering a heart attack, his wife Nancy told The Associated Press Wednesday.

Though Lange had a successful career in radio, he is best known for his television role on ABC’s “The Dating Game,” which debuted in 1965 and on which he appeared for more than a decade, charming audiences with his mellifluous voice and wide, easygoing grin.

He also played host to many celebrity guests.

Michael Jackson, Steve Martin and Ar nold Schwarzenegger, among others, appeared as contestants.

Even a pre-“Charlie’s Angels” Farrah Fawcett appeared on the program, introduced as “an accomplished artist and sculptress” with a dream to open her own gallery.

The show’s for mat: a young man or woman questions three members of the opposite sex, hidden from view, to deter-

back to Littleton/Columbine Valley, CO. where they began their retirement years.

Kay was always very involved with all her children’s school and extra curricula activities wherever they lived. She was a very giving and caring volunteer in their various communities including: Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority Sustainer, PTA Leadership positions, Junior League, various book and bridge clubs, charitable work and fund raising committees, member of the Nine-Hole golf competitive team. Currently, a member of the Littleton United Methodist Church. She had been involved in many activities in high school: dance, music and was named the Most Beautiful Band member.

Joe survives her, as do their children Joseph Stephen Rhodes and his wife Natalie Morales of Hoboken, NJ and Julie Kay Rhodes Leftridge and her husband Steve Leftridge of Webster Grove, MO. She is also survived by her brother Steve Loren Henderson and his wife Carol Jane of Roswell and grandchildren Josh and Luke Rhodes of Hoboken and Henry and Logan Leftridge of Webster Grove.

Surviving nieces and nephews include: Cindy Henderson Redding and her husband Tony of Phoenix, AZ; Tonya Henderson Winder of Washington, UT; Mark Henderson and Carrie of Roswell; and Jon Henderson and Bertha of Laredo, TX. Sisters in Law: Barbara Rhodes Seigal and Bernie of San Francisco, and Penny Rhodes Pulliam and Byron of Grand Junction, CO, and nieces and nephews.

Kay fought a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Kay faced the inevitability of this unforgiving disease with the same dignity and grace she displayed throughout the rest of her life. She never lost her beautiful smile, or her heartfelt love for her family and friends. She will be remembered as a kind, caring person, and she will be sorely missed by her children, her family, her loving husband and many others. May God bless her soul and welcome her into his eternal care.

As she had requested, cremation has taken place.

Memorial services will be conducted at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Cow-

The questions were designed by the show’s writers to elicit sexy answers.

“I’ve never been out on a date before. What do two kids like us do on a date?” a teenage Michael Jackson asked one of his potential dates on a 1972 episode of the show.

“Well, we’d have fun,” the girl answered. “We’d go out to dinner, and then I’d go over to your house.”

Lange was born on Aug. 15, 1932, in St. Paul, Minn., where at 15 he discovered a passion for local radio after winning an audition at a local station.

“They wanted a boy and a girl,” he said in a 1992 interview with the Bay Area Radio Digest. “They wanted the boy to do sports and the girl to do the dances and stuff that was going on in the Twin Cities — very sexist — and play music once a week.”

He hosted that show for two years before attending the University of Minnesota and doing a three-year stint in the Marines, according to the Bay Area Radio Museum.

Is Cruz out of control?

OPINION

Roswell Daily Record

What you think of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) depends on who you believe.

Is the freshman senator on an “ego trip,” putting himself before country (Dana Milbank, The Washington Post), or is he standing on his principles (Cruz’s conservative supporters)?

ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl says Cruz is “so hated” among GOP senators that “he’s going to need a food taster.”

In a telephone interview with me, Cruz acknowledges he would not win a “Mr. Congeniality” contest if it were up to the Republican leadership in the Senate, but contends that they and some of his colleagues are out of touch with the will of the people: “The reaction in Washington is the polar opposite of the reaction outside Washington,” he says. “People across the country are frustrated that so many elected officials in Washington are not listening and ignoring the concerns of the people.”

I asked him about his controversial move last week to change

Senate rules by requiring 60 votes to pass the debt ceiling increase, instead of a 51-vote majority. Cruz responded, “...there is no universe in which I would be willing to consent to allow (majority leader) Harry Reid to raise the debt ceiling with no spending refor ms on only 51 votes. The reaction from a significant number of my colleagues was considerable anger and dismay.”

Cruz rejects the notion that a vote against raising the debt ceiling would have produced another government shutdown, favoring Democrats. He points to history: “The last 55 times the debt ceiling has been raised, Congress attached significant conditions to it 28 times. Virtually every major

Sunday, March 2, 2014

spending restraint Congress has passed has come through the debt ceiling.” As two examples, he cites the Gramm-RudmanHollings Balanced Budget Act, which, according to its co-author Sen. Phil Gramm, was “the first binding constraint imposed on federal spending” and last year’s Budget Control Act, nicknamed “sequestration.”

How does Cruz expect to get the reforms he wants without a Republican Senate majority, not to mention a Republican president?

“We have the same number of votes we had when we got the Budget Control Act,” he maintains. “If we had stood together and voted no, we could have blocked this from happening. ...

We would (then have sat) down and negotiated a resolution, a compromise, with some meaningful spending restraints.”

What about the Republican and larger Washington establishment and the tea party? The prevailing wisdom is that the tea party harms incumbents, replacing them with conservative

purists, who then lose the general election.

Not true, says Cruz. While acknowledging that tea party candidates Christine O’Donnell (Delaware) and Sharon Engle (Nevada) lost to Democrats in 2010 races that stronger candidates might have won, Cruz says the overall record of tea party candidates is far better than the establishment’s record. He cites Florida, where Marco Rubio beat Charlie Crist in a primary despite Crist’s support from the GOP establishment. Cruz says Rubio was the right candidate given Crist’s post-election switch to the Democrats. Crist is now running for governor as a Democrat.

Cruz offers other examples in which tea party candidates won over hand-picked establishment candidates: Pat Toomey over Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania; Mike Lee over Robert Bennett in Utah; Rand Paul over Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s candidate, T rey Grayson, in Kentucky. He might add himself to that list. “Every one of these,” he says, “was elect-

A7

ed by the tea party against huge opposition from the establishment and all of their money.”

Can promoting such candidates win back the Senate for Republicans in November? Cruz says, “Many of the critics are saying the path to victory in November is for Republicans to put their heads down, don’t rock the boat, don’t take any stands. ... I think history has proven that that is a consistent path to failure. The way to win in November is for Republicans to take principled stands. ... That doesn’t mean we need to fight on everything. You pick your battles. ... When Washington politicians retreat on every issue, it demoralizes grassroots conservative activists who are the key to winning in November.”

Given the results of the last two presidential elections and their own poor record, the GOP establishment may want to put themselves on “Cruz control.”

EDITORIAL

Tax incentives should be fair, not just for a chosen few

As we head toward November’s election, politicians are trying to keep everyone happy with more than $75 million in state tax credits, exemptions and grants. Democrats and Republicans want to reward transactions and causes they cherish while discouraging those they consider harmful. A Gazette analysis found the giveaways are split almost evenly between Republican and Democratic interests.

Even buyers of wine and cigarettes can be rewarded under the state’s tax code.

“No tax is imposed on the sale of sacramental wines used for religious purposes,” says 12-47-106(1), a tax break provision in Colorado statutes since 1935. It’s a tax tradition that respects liberation of religion from the state.

The state Legislature exempts liquor excise taxes for any adult who arrives in Colorado with limited amounts of alcohol, for personal consumption, from another country.

A provision on the books since 2004 gives tax credits to anyone who sells cigarettes on credit and doesn’t get paid.

Environmentalists enjoy a “plastic recycling investment credit,” which reduces tax overhead on rent, wages, supplies and an assortment of equipment associated with plastics recycling. Investments in alternative fuels get tax credits, while advocates of a tax break for investments in alternative, private education continue to fail in their quest to ease the cost of tuition.

Republican-friendly tax credits include incentives for business endeavors they hope create jobs and tax revenues. A tax credit that helps with day care expenses for some of Colorado’s lowest income families gets bipartisan support, as it helps people work.

Some tax breaks should be scrutinized by both parties as potentially harmful. State government taxes snacks, such as chewing gum, soda and candy. Junk food is taxed, we’re told, because it’s bad for kids. It rots teeth and can lead to obesity and diabetes.

Yet, the state’s array of special tax exemptions includes one for soda and candy for buyers who are poor. That’s right, the Legislature exempts from state taxes all junk food bought with food stamps or gover nment vouchers. If we’re going to use tax laws to encourage nutrition, we should extend the ostensible benefit to rich and poor alike. Disadvantaged children deserve the same state protections from junk food that are extended to their wealthier peers.

The latest state report on various tax breaks was issued in 2012 and consists of 117 pages, which are mostly filled with lists and blurbs that tell of special-interest tax exemptions.

“We like to think we have a flat tax in Colorado, with everyone paying the same rates,” said Amy Oliver Cook, executive vice president and director of the Energy Policy Center at Colorado’s Independence Institute. “A report that details all of these special-interest tax breaks confirms that we do not have a flat tax.”

Most tax exemptions, if not all, result after relentless efforts by professional lobbyists who are paid to achieve tax breaks for special interests. Some help legitimately good causes.

Some help the private sector achieve employment. For those who don’t like a tax structure of winners and losers chosen by politicians, there’s lots of blame to go around. This game is played by the left, the right and everyone in between.

A bill proposed this session by Pat Steadman, D-Denver, and Rep. Millie Hamner, DDillon, would cause the state to issue a new report on special-interest tax breaks every two years. The bill favors transparency, and it’s a good idea.

Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, explains that it’s important to frequently revisit tax breaks to establish a “truing” of the system.

Though we may never achieve a genuine flat tax, and therefore an organic market devoid of penalties and incentives, Colorado politicians and their constituents can and should scrutinize tax incentives to ensure they favor the public good — not just the interests of a chosen few with money to lobby.

— Use adult language, not “baby talk,” when speaking

with your child.

— Speak to your child slowly and clearly.

— Make eye contact and use facial expressions and other body language in addition to words to enhance communication with your child. It’s often your expressions and body language that help them to learn the meaning of words.

— Be a patient, attentive listener.

— Do not finish your child’s words or sentences and do not interrupt.

— Do not pressure your child to speak to strangers or perform in public.

OPINION II

The many things you can do with mirrors

One of the most powerful tools we have available is mirrors. And what we do with mirrors reveals much about who we are. What?

“Rick, how do you support that statement?” you ask. Bear with me now...

When you look in the mirror, you are the only person in the universe who sees looking back what you see. I don’t know if you have ever stopped to think about that before. But you were created special, the first of only one edition.

What is your response to what you see in the mirror? You could have countless responses: “boy, you sure are good looking!” “I wish I could change the way my face looks,” “why did you do what you have done?” “I sure am proud of you,” “I think I need to get my hair done differently,” “I could look at myself all day,” “I sure am uncomfortable with what I see.”

When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you look deep into your own eyes or do you avoid looking into your eyes altogether?

When you look at yourself in the mirror you are seeing the source of most of your problems ... you are also seeing the solution to most of your problems!

Michael Jackson sang a song called “Man in the Mirror.” He wrote, “That’s why I am starting with me. I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer. If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a

change.” We can debate many dimensions of whether or not he was successful in following the advice he gave.

Mirrors are fragile. They can break easily. And once broken, they cannot be put back together.

Mirrors are most effective when they are polished or cleaned. A mirror coated with dirt defeats the purpose of a mirror and renders it merely a piece of dirty glass.

The old wise tale is if you break a mirror, you face seven years of bad luck. This superstition dates back to the Romans, who were the first to create glass mirrors.

The Romans believed that a mirror had the power to confiscate part of the user’s soul. If the user broke the mirror, part of his soul would be trapped in the mirror. The Romans also believed that a person’s physical body renewed itself every seven years, hence the seven years of bad luck.

There are many things that you can do with mirrors. Mirrors have many useful purposes. You can look at yourself, you can use it to reflect your image to others, you can reflect the sun or a light, you can reflect others, you can

focus light on an object ... but what you do with a mirror tells us a lot about you.

Each of us have mirrors in our home. They are pretty much a necessity. Who wants to walk out the door for the day without glancing at themself in the mirror to be sure you look presentable for the day? I think this use of a mirror is important.

There are some who spend way too much time in front of a mirror. Mirrors can be a way that a person vainly focuses on himself or herself and becomes in awe of themself. At times like this it is hard to remember that, with one exception, the entire universe consists of other people!

A person who spends too much time looking at himself in the mirror may have too much pride.

Pride turns our mirror back on ourselves. We think that others find us as attractive as we find ourself. We can become Narcissus until we drown in a pool of self-absorption.

Looking at yourself in a mirror can be constructive also. For example, if you look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and ask the question, “What have I accomplished today?” Honestly answering this question can help you be effective with your time tomorrow.

One of my favorite sayings is “There are two ways to spread light; be a candle or be a mirror.”

Being a candle means you are creating a light or an atmosphere that is contagious, one that is worth catching. There are days that we are a beacon, spreading

by Ace Reid

Roswell Daily Record

good will for those we come into contact with. Then there are other days that aren’t so good.

On these days, we risk taking from others rather than giving. It is on days like this that we need to be a mirror.

You see, mirrors don’t take from or add to what they reflect.

They simply take what exists and deflect it a different direction. If you are in a bad mood, find someone who is a candle for the day and simply reflect the attitude that the other person has.

From time to time in my office I say to staff members, “I need you to be a candle today.” This means “today is a tough day, help me through.” In these instances, I don’t try to generate light, I just try to reflect another’s.

On a spiritual level, my goal with my life is to reflect God in all I do. If in the life I live I can reflect God each step I take, my life is a success. In reflecting God, it is not possible for me to add to who He is. It is very possible to subtract from Him. If I can truly be a mirror and if others can see God working through me, then my life is on track.

In interacting with others, my goal is to reflect back at others the positives in their lives. If my life is not about me, but is about others, the mirror points away from me and becomes a tool to encourage and uplift others.

They don’t even need to know who is behind the mirror. That is not important. My life is not important except for the impact it has on others.

Which way is your mirror positioned? Is your life about you?

Do you constantly see yourself in your mirror? As long as you look good in your mirror, is your life complete? Or is your life about others? Is your mirror pointed away from you for the benefit of others? Are you helping others by spreading light with your mirror?

My challenge to you is to use your mirror for the benefit of others. If your mirror is all about yourself and no one else, adjust its direction. If your life is about getting others to hold their mirrors up so you can see more of yourself, you are headed for a train wreck.

Use your mirror to reflect God. Or use your mirror to highlight back to others the positives they have. If your mirror is about helping others accomplish what they need to be accomplishing, you have put your mirror to a good use.

Only you can choose which way your mirror faces.

Somehow, America survived Elvis.

"Moral panics are one of our favorite things," says Moynihan. "If there's nothing to be panicked about, what do you write about?" Being outraged is part of the media circus.

The danger is that the outrage undermines perspective. It creates a false impression of how risky the present is, and it fuels unnecessary, freedom-killing regulations.

Flu season is not over yet; get your shot LOCAL

Roswell Daily Record

STEVE WOLFE ROSWELL SAFE COALITION Just last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this flu season has been particularly bad for working age people. People between the ages of 18 and 64 have accounted for higher percentages over prior years of influenza hospitalizations and of flu deaths as well.

This year’s dramatic rise is being linked to a resurgence of the H1N1 virus, the so-called swine flu responsible for a global pandemic in 2009. “It’s back this year, and it’s hitting younger people hard,” said the CDC Director Tom Frieden. He indicated that only 1 in 3 young adults is getting vaccinated against the flu and blames that for the higher hospitalizations and deaths.

I was reluctant to write this

column, thinking that we are pretty much free and clear for this year. Wrong! Charles Shannon, the owner of Primm Drug in Roswell, told me that only two or three years ago, there was a huge outbreak in late March. Typically, flu season peaks in February and March, but the season does not necessarily end with the start of spring. It can continue well into May. You should still get a flu shot if you have not already. If

Sunday, March 2, 2014

the winter remains cold, the chances of an extended flu season are high due to a combination of factors. There are those who believe that flu viruses like cooler weather and lower humidity, but the CDC does not see any solid science to confirm that.

Also, in colder months, people tend to group together in closed areas, increasing the likelihood that colds and flu will spread. On the other hand, with war mer weather, kids and adults spend more time outside, enhancing their immune system’s vitamin D. The flu and the common cold have similar symptoms and it can be difficult to tell the difference between them. Symptoms such as fever, body aches, tiredness, and cough are more common and intense with the flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. A flu virus

may (but does not always) yield a mild to moderate fever, whereas most colds won’t. Your health care provider can give you a test within the first few days of your illness to determine whether or not you have the flu.

Influenza is contagious, and not just while you are sick. It can even be passed to others before you exhibit symptoms, before you know that you are sick. It is a respiratory illness which can be mild or severe, and at times can cause death. Its symptoms may include fever or chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle and body aches, headaches, and fatigue.

Vomiting and diarrhea may occur, but these are more common in children than in adults.

So what can you do at this point? The single most important thing to protect us from the flu is

getting a flu shot. You can do that at Primm Drug and other phar macy locations, doctors’ offices and other medical facilities. Also, keeping our immune systems at peak can make a big difference. Such things as exercise, getting enough sleep, keeping stress levels down and sufficient vitamin D are all important to resisting influenza and other ailments. Avoid close contact such as kissing and handshakes and, if you are sick, stay at home!

You should cough or sneeze into your elbow and not into your hand. Additionally, one of the more important practices to avoid the flu is to wash your hands frequently. You may also want to carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for those times when you cannot wash your hands. But to repeat, it is not too late! Go get a flu shot.

Bark beetle invasion has begun STEVE THOMAS CONSULTING ARBORIST

In this Feb. 12 photo, Rizanino (Riz) Reyes, a horticulturist, gives a rose bush some lastminute pruning before putting it in the ground. Avoid plants that need to be pruned for anything beyond minor cosmetic touches.

Fast route to successful gardening? Buy smart Garden centers, with their vast collections of plant colors, sizes and shapes, can be intimidating to inexperienced buyers. But you can become a discerning purchaser with a little homework and by quizzing the sales people as you shop.

“Usually, when shopping, I go early before the crowds and also before the staff are worn out,” said Jack McKinnon, a garden coach from the San Francisco Bay area. “I like asking questions like, ‘What are you getting in next?’

‘What is new?’ and ‘What is the most popular now?’ If it is early (in the season), you may learn a lot that puts you ahead of the masses in designs and trends.”

The most important factor in plant shopping, however, is the health of the plant, McKinnon said.

“As one nurseryman I trust says: ‘Don’t accept ugly plants.’ And he does not give refunds.”

How can you tell if a plant is diseased, pest-ridden or beyond its prime?

“Look for any unusual brown, black or gray spotting on the foliage,” said Rizanino (Riz) Reyes, a landscape designer and owner of RHR Horticulture in Shoreline, Wash., a Seattle suburb.

“Any dead sections that are beyond just grooming to make it look good should be avoided,” he said. Also avoid plants “that may be unusually red or sickly yellow looking.”

It’s a good idea to check plant roots at the nursery. It’s risky to buy plants that are root-bound, too wet or too dry, although that may mean removing them from the pot to examine them.

“If you politely ask a garden center

staff member, any reputable retail center should stand by their product and allow you to do it, or they may do it for you,” Reyes said.

Other plant-buying-like-a-pro tips: — Shop by price and shop the sales.

Find out when new plants are usually delivered and displayed. “Try to have a relationship with the nursery owner or staff,” McKinnon said.

— Bare-root, container grown, or balled and burlapped? “Bare-root plats have not had a chance to get root-bound in a pot, and you can see what you’re buying,” McKinnon said. “Both are definite advantages.”

— Work from a plan. “I recommend having a general list so you avoid too many impulse buys on plants that may not end up getting planted or worse, get forgotten,” Reyes said.

— Annuals vs. perennials: “Perennials come back and can look great the yearround,” Reyes said. “Annuals provide traffic-stopping impact and remarkable color. You save and have the most incredible garden by integrating both.”

— Buying tropicals and houseplants: “Take care in transporting these from the store to your vehicle as some may be very sensitive to the cold,” Reyes said.

“Plant them right away or keep them cool but not frozen. Keep them watered and moist.”

— Choosing bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes: “Look for plump, firm bulbs,” Reyes said. “Usually, the bigger the better. Hardy bulbs like lilies are ready to plant as soon as possible. For dahlias and other tender bulbs, wait until after frost to plant or pot them up and start indoors.”

For the first time we at Tree Doctor 911 have identified bark beetles in Eastern New Mexico. After several years of drought, many trees are stressed to the max and the lack of moisture has created what we could call the “Per fect Stor m” for the beetle attack. For many years the rest of the state had suffered from the invasion but Eastern New Mexico had been spared.

History of bark beetle destruction in New Mexico Starting about 4 years ago, the hills around Santa Fe were decimated with as much as 95% of the pinion trees being killed. The hills of the green pinion trees in Santa Fe County became hills of brown and resembled many arid desert landscapes after the beetle invasion (IBPS Beetle).

Many homeowners would call our office in shock and desperate for help after seeing a pinon tree go from beautiful emerald green to dead in just a few short weeks. No one could believe that trees that in some cases had taken over 100 years to grow could be decimated in such a short amount of time by such a small beetle. But as previously stated that damaging bug has moved into eastern New Mexico in mass and is killing trees in our area.

During the cold months, the bark beetles’ activity has been slowed. The damage we are seeing now is a result of an invasion into the tree in the war mer months of last year that is just now becoming evident.

Now with warm weather, the beetles larvae will be growing wings and will be attacking in mass as they hatch and leave their host trees.

About the beetle The IBPS Beetle is only the size of a grain of rice.

The male beetle uses his sense of smell to find a good nesting site. He

searches for trees that are stressed and have poor sap flow to attack. The poor sap surge can be caused by a combination of environmental issues such as drought, fungi and other parasites that can cause the prospective host tree to have poor circulation and little sap surge. When the tree is stressed it produces a fragrance called pheromone that causes the male bark beetle to be attracted to it. When the male beetle chooses the host tree, he will emit another fragrance that attracts the female beetle to come to the tree and nest.

Together, they drill under the bark into the vascular system which is located just under the outer bark.

They feed laterally ringing a branch of the tree and cutting off the sap to the tree, shutting off the water supply and killing the tree.

They invade in swarms of biblical proportions.

Every male and female hatching produces around 300 of fspring. They will attack a tree not just as one pair but in the hundreds. A few years ago in the Santa Fe area, we had four successive generations hatch in just one year.

When you do the math, one pair of them can actually produce offspring numbers that go well into the billions in one year and two beetles can be fatal to your pinion trees.

How your trees can be protected and saved Keep your trees well watered, this will help the sap surge which will not necessarily protect the tree but will increase the odds against your tree being attacked. Most pesticides on the market are ineffective for treating the beetle problem. The beetle is small but very hard to kill.

After invading the tree, they are buried within the tree where most chemicals can’t reach them and the few chemicals that could reach them are not fatal to them.

We have an injectible

chemical that is labeled for and will kill the beetles attacking your tree. We at T ree Doctor 911 micro inject the chemical which is like a person on an IV drip directly into the tree to reach the buried beetles.

The chemical will kill the beetles along with other parasites in the tree on contact and continue to kill for up to 60 days protecting the tree during this time against a further invasion.

The secret to saving your trees is early detection.

Many trees that will look healthy to the average person will already be infected and on their way to dying.

You need an expert arborist to diagnose and if infected treat your trees to save them.

We know and work worldwide saving trees that other professionals many times deem unsaveable.

When parasites are allowed to kill a good portion of the tree, many times the tree never recovers, and is lost.

Early detection is extremely important in helping save your trees. * Some bark beetles carry a fungi on their back, like mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile virus or inselfilitis. If carriers of these fungi have invaded the tree, they are extremely hard to save because the fungi shuts down the feeding system of the tree.

Steve Thomas is a consulting arborist. He has developed a worldwide reputation for being successful at saving trees that thought to be unsavable. He is the founder of Tree Doctor 911, a local New Mexico-based company. He is also CEO and founder of Air Planet 911, a nonprofit corporation that works worldwide and was recently responsible for saving the tree known as “centenario” in Canas Costa Rica that started the green movement in the world. He has been successful saving historic old growth from the Amazon to New Zealand.

Roswell runs past Goddard to district title Sunday, March 2, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

In 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote in a letter that “nothing can be said to be certain, except death or taxes.”

Perhaps it’s time to modernize that a bit — maybe something along the lines of “nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and a Roswell run.”

After all, the often-imitated, but never-quite-duplicated Roswell run is ever present in this day in age.

It was certainly present on Saturday night when Roswell used of one its trademark bursts en route to a 73-39 win over archrival Goddard in the District 4-4A Championship Game at the Coyote Den. Coyote coach Britt Cooper, never one to get overly excited about winning a district title, said the game was another step toward his team’s ultimate goal.

“It’s good,” he said. “It’s

just another step along the way of what we’re ultimately hoping; that two weeks from tonight, we’ve got the championship that we want.”

This step was a loud and resounding stomp, akin to Godzilla’s romp through Tokyo.

“It means a lot, especially how we did it,” said Roswell’s Cesar Nava, who was named the district’s coMVP with Goddard’s Josh Wagner.

“The past few games, they kind of came back in the fourth quarter and showed us a good game. Finally, we were able to put them away in the fourth quarter. The second half was really good.”

The rout started midway See RUN, Page B3

Dexter blows by Eunice for tournament title DISTRICT 5-2A CHAMPIONSHIP

DEXTER — It is common for a sports team to come up with a team motto or saying before the season.

The motto can be as simple as one word or as complex as a quote. Either way, the theme serves as a calling card for the team throughout the highs and lows of a season.

On the back of the Eunice boys basketball uniforms was one word, “Relentless.”

After Saturday’s game against Dexter, the Cardinals know what relentless really means.

Dexter (25-2) held Eunice scoreless over a 6:54 stretch of the first quarter

Shockers go to 31-0

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The chant started when Ron Baker walked toward the Wichita State bench for the final time, and reached a crescendo when he popped the front of his jersey — No. 31.

As in, 31-0. A perfect regular season.

“Undefeated!” the sellout crowd roared in unison.

“Undefeated!”

Baker finished with 13 points, Cleanthony Early led the way with 19 and the second-ranked Shockers rolled to a 68-45 victory over Missouri State on Saturday, becoming the first team since Saint Joseph’s in 2004 to enter its conference tournament unbeaten.

Wichita State (18-0) will have a firstround bye in the Missouri Valley tour-

Hagerman takes down Cloudcroft to win District 7-1A championship

See PERFECT, Page B4

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

HAGERMAN — In a recent article in Sports Illustrated, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said that during the course of a season, teams play worse than they should roughly 14 percent of the time.

The difference between the good and great teams is that great teams figure out a way to gut out wins in those types of games.

During the District 7-1A Championship Game against visiting Cloudcroft on Saturday, the Hagerman boys basketball team didn’t play its best game, but it played well enough to earn a 6150 win.

Bobcat senior captain Jessie Rodriguez said that the win felt good.

“It feels good. It is always good to win district,” he said. “It is going to boost our confidence and it See BOBCATS, Page B3

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — New England Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard reported to a Lincoln jail Saturday to begin his 60day term for a 2012 assault on a police officer.

Dennard, 24, reported to the Lancaster County Adult Detention Facility Saturday morning, according to corrections officers with the Lincoln facility who spoke on condition of anonymity because of jail policy.

The former Nebraska football standout will have to serve at least 35 days, after

credit for good behavior and the three days he’s already spent in jail.

In April, a judge sentenced Dennard to two years’ probation, 30 days in jail and community service for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest outside a Lincoln bar days before he was chosen in the NFL Draft.

Dennard had been projected to be a middleround NFL draft pick, but the Patriots took him in the seventh round.

The judge later extended his probation to three years and doubled the jail time after Dennard was again arrested in Lincoln on suspicion of drunken driving in July. That charge was later dismissed in exchange for Dennard’s no contest plea for refusing to submit to a chemical test. He was fined $500 and placed on probation for that offense.

Dennard finished this season, his second in the NFL, with 40 tackles (34 solo, 6 assists) and one interception. The Patriots fell just short of the Super Bowl, losing to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game.

AP source: Richie Incognito receiving treatment

MIAMI (AP) — Embattled former Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito is receiving treatment in the wake of the team’s bullying scandal, a person familiar with the situation said Saturday.

The person commented to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Incognito hasn’t discussed the situation publicly. The person said the NFL Players Association is supporting Incognito’s treatment.

Another person familiar with Incognito’s situation said the veteran lineman is exhausted after being “dragged through the mud” in recent months.

Incognito has sent tweets in recent weeks that varied dramatically in tone. He went on a rant that quickly went viral, blasting former teammate Jonathan Martin and his agent, then later tweeted apologies to Martin, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and Ted Wells, the attorney who investigated the bullying scandal for the NFL. On Thursday, police in Scottsdale, Ariz., said Incognito told an officer he put several dents in the hood of his Ferrari in an apparent tantrum.

Wells’ investigation determined Incognito and two other offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment of Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer.

After a report on the investigation was released last month, the Dolphins fired offensive line coach Jim Turner and longtime trainer Kevin O’Neill.

Martin abruptly left the Dolphins last October, underwent counseling for emotional issues and alleged persistent harassment by teammates. Incognito was suspended Nov. 3 and missed the final eight games.

Both have said they want to play in 2014, but neither is expected to be back with the Dolphins.

and was never really threatened after that on its way to a 75-59 win in the District 5-2A Championship Game.

Eunice started off strong, matching the Demons’ energy in taking a 4-2 lead less than 40 seconds in.

That would be as good as it got for the Cardinals, however.

Kevin Bonner hit a jumper to tie the game at 4 and, following a Eunice turnover, Kyle Bonner sank a pair of free throws to give the Demons a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

A pair of 3s — one each by Kevin Bonner and David Lopez — gave the Demons a 10-point cushion, but the Demons would go scoreless for the next 3:07.

The lead wasn’t threatened, though, thanks to the Demons’ white-on-rice defense.

After Eunice took a 4-2 lead, it failed to even get a shot off on its next 12 possessions.

By the end of the first quarter, Dexter held an 18-4 lead and Eunice never got closer than nine the rest of the way.

Dexter was pretty sure of the district title, having made championship T -

McIlroy in the lead going into last round at Honda

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Rory McIlroy is 18 holes away from his first PGA Tour victory in 18 months, a chance to show the world he is back on his game.

That’s not the way McIlroy views the final round at the Honda Classic.

McIlroy started strong, avoided a big number with a brilliant bogey in the middle and took on the wind and water on the 16th hole for one final birdie Saturday that gave him a 1-under 69 in the toughest conditions and a two-shot lead over Russell Henley at PGA National.

The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland has come to expect this kind of performance.

He finished one shot behind in Abu Dhabi.

He played in the final group in Dubai, where nothing went well in the final round. And here is again, making key shots and big putt to keep his nose in front in the Honda Classic.

“I’ve been building and building toward getting my game to a level where I feel it should be,” he said. “And I’m pretty much at that point now.”

Saturday wasn’t easy.

McIlroy might have saved his day with a bogey on the par-3 seventh. He took a penalty drop from under a palmetto bush, and faced a shot off the pine straw across 20 yards of rough to an elevated green with the pin toward the back right. The shot came off perfectly, and he holed the 8-foot putt for bogey.

“It was one of the best up-and-downs I’ve ever had, I guess,” McIlroy said. “And it was almost like a momentum builder. I just bogeyed the last, but walking off that seventh green with a bogey almost felt like I had saved par or I had almost gained a shot on the field. It kept any momentum that I had going to the next few holes.”

He closed out his round with a 5-iron into the wind to 10 feet of the flag on the 16th for a birdie, and then narrowly missed two birdie chances on the closing holes.

McIlroy was at 12-under 198.

Asked about the importance of winning on a major tour for the first time since the World Tour Championship in Dubai at the end of 2012, and the first time since the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick in 2012 on the PGA Tour, Boy Wonder grappled for the right answer.

“It would be nice. It would be my seventh PGA Tour win,” he said. “That’s what it is. No bigger, no smaller. And I’ll go home and have a nice night and get up the next morning and go play the Seminole Pro-Member. So it’s all good.”

He also knows it’s not over.

Henley wasn’t doing anything special until he holed out from 150 yards for eagle on No. 14, and then rammed in a 50-foot birdie putt from just off the green at the 17th for birdie that gave him a 68 and put him in the last group for the first time since he won the Sony Open last year.

shirts ahead of time, something Demon coach James Voight said had to do with confidence.

“We are always confident. We are confident in every game,” he said. “We aren’t being cocky or anything, but we are confident in the way we play.”

Following the game, Voight said that the real season begins for his team.

“We just talked about it in there. We finished 25-2, but at times we coasted during the year,” he said. “I think the kids were saving up because they knew the end goal was to get back and get our revenge to get the blue trophy. Now it is win or go home. We will be ready.”

Dexter will find out the road it must travel back to the state title game today when the brackets are released. Voight said that he anticipates his team getting a No. 2 or No. 3 seed.

“My expectations are a two-seed, but I think they may give us a three,” he said.

“I think we are deserving of a two-seed.

We have the second-best overall record and we played tougher opponents than some of these other teams. We will see.

“It doesn’t matter where you are seeded. You have to win four games anyway to win the championship.”

Lopez paced Dexter with 21 points, while Kevin Bonner (17) and Kevin Paez (15) also reached double figures for the Demons.

That’s the only time Henley has won — in his debut as a PGA Tour member — and he hasn’t been in this situation since then.

Henley has only two top 10s since that win down from Waikiki Beach at the start of 2012.

Now he has to chase one of golf’s biggest stars, on a course where only one players — Ernie Els in 2008 — has come from behind on the final day to win.

Russell Knox of Scotland had a 68 and was three shots behind, while Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela had a 66 and was another shot back.

BORDER CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ROSWELL 61, CLOVIS 44

Coyotes win first BC title in school history

The Roswell freshman boys basketball team won the first Border Conference championship in school history in February, toppling Clovis 61-44 in the championship game.

In the championship game, Roswell controlled from the outset, building a 17-12 lead in the first behind 12 points from Laker Slayton.

The Coyotes pushed their lead to 36-19 by the break and the two teams deadlocked at 7 in the third and 18 in the fourth.

Slayton led all scorers with 22. Garrett Smothermon chipped in 12 and Chris Carpenter added 11.

Roswell capped a 20-2 campaign with the win over the Wildcats.

Members of the team are, from left, Isidro Aldaz, Garret Smothermon, coach J.T. Bracken, DeSean Lacy, Jaime Grijalva, Chris Carpenter, Cyan Mendoza, Brandon Evans, Laker Slayton, Brandon Watley, Bear Kyser and Matthew Shappard.

through the second quarter when, with the visitors leading 20-16, the Coyotes (251) took off on one of their patented stretches.

Marquel Warner’s free throw with 5:08 remaining in the first half provided an innocuous start to a run that would span 2 minutes and, for all intents and purposes, end the game.

In that 2-minute span, Roswell forced five turnovers, held Goddard to 0-for-2 shooting and scored on six of seven possessions.

It was a run that every Coyote fan has seen hundreds of times, but it was impressive nonetheless.

After Warner’s free throw, the run, in order, featured: A Matthew Sedillo three-

point play, two Nava free throws, a Sedillo 3-pointer, a Daniel Amador three-point play, an Amador layup and two Amador free throws.

Goddard never recovered and, according to its coach, lost its composure mentally.

“I think, mentally, we lost our composure,” Kevin Jones said. “Our deal was to be patient and, that first quarter, we were patient. ...

We just got away from it.

“I think that’s where we lost it, mentally.”

The Rockets got back within single digits just once after the run and trailed by as many as 34 on several occasions in the fourth.

After allowing 16 firstquarter points and trailing 16-12 going to the second, Roswell outscored the Rockets 28-9, 20-7 and 13-7, respectively, in the final three quarters.

is just a good win going into the state tournament.”

Hagerman (22-4) never trailed against the Bears and played fantastic defense in the first quarter.

Despite four turnovers on its first seven possessions, the Bobcats held a 4-2 lead thanks to a defense that forced six Cloudcroft turnovers in the first 4 minutes.

A second-chance bunny by Jose Bejarano jump-started the Hagerman offense and, by the end of the quarter, the Bobcats held a 16-5 lead. During the first 8 minutes, the Bears scored just three points in their half-court offense.

By the end of the first half, the Hagerman lead had grown to 12, but Cloudcroft wouldn’t go away in the second half.

The Bears outscored Hagerman 16-12 in the third quarter and continued its run in the fourth.

Cloudcroft got a pair of buckets by Lukas Rimmle and a runner by Robert Ortega to open the final stanza, cutting the Bobcat lead to four.

As great teams do, however, the Bobcats responded.

Bejarano got another second-chance deuce to push the lead back to six and, two possessions later, Rodriguez found a trailing Bejarano for an easy bucket that made it 49-41.

Sedillo led all scorers with 24 points. Nava poured in 22 and Warner added 10.

Wagner was the lone Rocket in double figures with 12.

Both teams now turn their attention to the state tournament. The brackets will be released today.

The Rockets (16-12) figure to be in the top eight, which would get them a home game in the first round.

“I think we’re a top-six team, I really do,” Jones said. “Five of our losses are to the No. 1 team in the state. ... I’m pretty confident that we’re a top-six team.”

Roswell, meanwhile, figures to be a lock to get the No. 1 seed.

“I think (we should be No. 1). If we’re not, that will give us another incentive to get going on,” Cooper said. “I think we’ve earned that.

Cloudcroft made one more run to get within five with 1:23 left, but the Bobcats closed the game on a 6-0 run to seal the championship.

Bejarano led the Bobcats with 16 points, while Rodriguez (15), Bryan Barela (12) and Alejandro Ramos (10) also scored in double figures for Hagerman.

Hagerman coach Anthony Mestas said that the win was good, but his team has some work to do.

“It feels good to get another (championship). That is what, eight out of 10,” he said. “The game was real slow. There wasn’t much excitement from the players and the fans. It was just a real quiet gym and it was real hard for the boys to get going today. “... Right now, obviously after that game, we didn’t look very well. So, we need to come back and do a lot of things in practice. The mentality is always that we wanted to win this and get ready for our next opponent.”

That next opponent will be determined today when the state championship brackets are released. Rodriguez anticipates his team getting a No. 3 or No. 4 seed.

“We should get the No. 3 or No. 4 seed,” he said. “(The committee) is going to end up putting Magdalena ahead of us because of their wins and losses. Hopefully we get the three-seed so we won’t have to matchup with Cliff in the semifinals. If we get the four seed, it is what it is and we will play the game.”

We’ve had one hiccup along the way. The rest, they’ve just been solid.”

As synonymous as the game-changing run is with the Coyotes, so too is making a run of a different kind — a run deep in the tournament, which Warner thinks his team is ready to accomplish.

“We’re ready for it. I think we’re ready and I think we’ll be able to do it,” he said.

“We’ve just got to keep our minds focused and everybody has got to be on the same page.

“If we all play the game we’re capable of, I think we can do it.”

Cooper said it won’t be enough to just make a run to the title game, though.

“Around here, it’s not enough to just get there. It’s not enough to just play for it. It’s all about trying to win it. ... We want to bring that blue trophy back to Roswell.”

Webb, Stanford set for final-round showdown in Singapore Saturday to separate themselves slightly from the rest of the crowded leaderboard.

Webb, the 2011 winner, shot a 70 to move to 11under 205, one stroke ahead of 2012 champion Stanford, who had a 69.

They both have a chance to be the first repeat champion of the tournament, although on two different courses. Both players picked up their first HSBC crown at Singapore’s Tanah Merah Country Club and this year’s event is being played at the Sentosa Golf Club.

Among those chasing Webb and Stanford are Spain’s Azahara Munoz, who fired an eagle and four

birdies for a 5-under 67, the low round of the day; and Taiwan’s Teresa Lu, who gave up her LPGA membership in 2010 to concentrate on playing in Japan. Both are tied for third at 8-under 208.

America’s Paula Creamer, who briefly held the lead with Webb and Munoz on Saturday, had six birdies to go with three bogeys to sit in fifth place at 7 under.

Morgan Pressel of the United States was at 6 under, Norway’s Suzann Pettersen was another stroke back at 5 under, and Sweden’s Caroline Hedwall and South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi were in joint eighth at 4 under.

SINGAPORE (AP) — Karrie Webb and Angela Stanford were so close down the stretch Saturday at the HSBC Women’s Champions, matching each other birdie for birdie, that Stanford only sees one way to get the advantage in Sunday’s final round.

“I’m going to send Webbie a six-pack (of beer) tonight,” she said.

Webb wasn’t sure that would help. “I’ll probably drink wine coolers,” the Australian veteran said.

The two players set up a showdown between former HSBC champions after finishing off their third rounds with identical birdies over three of the last five holes

No. 12 Virginia hands Orange another loss, wins ACC crown

Virginia guard London Perrantes celebrates his team’s win over Syracuse, Saturday. Perrantes and the Cavaliers secured the regular-season ACC crown with the victory.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Malcolm Brogdon scored eight of his 19 points during a decisive second-half run and No. 12 Virginia clinched the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament by beating No. 4 Syracuse 75-56 on Saturday.

Akil Mitchell added 12 points and nine rebounds and Mike Tobey and Justin Anderson scored 11 each for the Cavaliers (25-5, 16-1 ACC), who won their only outright ACC regular season title 33 years ago — 1980-81 — when Ralph Sampson was a sophomore. The victory was their 13th in a row and the final buzzer brought hundreds streaming onto the court.

Tyler Ennis and C.J. Fair scored 13 each for the Orange (26-3, 13-3), who lost for the third time in four games. Syracuse played much of the game without ailing Jerami Grant because of a sore back.

As they have so often this season, Virginia took command with a second-half spree fed in part by its defense, and in part by a celebrating sell-out crowd,

many of whom stood throughout the second half.

Brogdon broke a 42-all tie with two free throws, and then hit a jumper from the foul line. After a turnover by the Orange, London Perrantes hit a deep 3-pointer that gave the Cavaliers a 49-42 lead.

Rakeem Christmas’ dunk after a Syracuse timeout quieted the crowd, but only for a minute because Anderson made a 3pointer from the right side, Brogdon followed an Orange miss with a jumper and then followed another miss with a jumper. The lead was 56-45 with 5:15 remaining and fans sensed that the Cavaliers were in the process of putting the game away.

Ennis, playing with four fouls, hit a pair of free throws to slow the run, but Joe Harris hit a free throw, and then followed a Syracuse miss with a 3-pointer, his first basket in nine tries, causing the crowd to erupt in appreciation for the four -year starter. Harris was removed with 38.9 seconds left to a deafening cheer at Jones Paul Jones Arena.

Top-ranked Gators beat LSU Xavier dumps No. 9 Creighton GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Dorian Finney-Smith scored 16 points, and topranked Florida used a season-high 13 3pointers to overwhelm LSU 79-61 Saturday and extend its school-record winning streak to 21 games.

Casey Prather and Michael Frazier II added 14 points apiece for the Gators, who also won their 31st straight at home.

This one was never in doubt.

Florida (27-2, 16-0 Southeastern Conference) scored the first eight points of the game, opened up a double-digit lead with consecutive 3-pointers from DeVon Walker and Finney-Smith and put the game away early in the second half with a flurry of points in the paint.

“My teammates told me a couple weeks ago that my number was something special, because that’s how many games we could potentially win,” Baker said. “I didn’t put that together myself, but it’s very special. It’s going to be something I look back on forever.”

Missouri State (19-11, 9-9) had the Shockers in trouble when they met Jan. 11 in Springfield, Mo., but the Bears blew a 19-point secondhalf lead and ultimately lost 72-69 in overtime.

They never came close to making it a game Saturday, trailing by double-digits in the opening minutes

ing finger rolls after the break. Patric Young had a dunk and then a left-handed hook shot. And Prather followed with a dunk and another driving layup that put Florida up 62-38 with about 11 minutes remaining.

Johnny O’Bryant III led the Tigers (17-11, 8-8) with 18 points. Jordan Mickey added 14 points and 10 rebounds for LSU, which lost its seventh straight on the road.

The Gators never trailed. They led 4125 at halftime and didn’t even have a second-half lull.

Getting hot from the 3-point line surely helped. Florida made 13 of 23 from behind the arc. It was just the fourth time this season that they reached double digits in 3s.

and rarely trimming the lead to fewer than 20 points in the second half.

The result is the best start since UNLV began 34-0 and lost in the 1991 national title game. Wichita State is also off to the best start by a Missouri Valley team since Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, won its first 33 games and fell to Michigan State in the 1979 title game.

The Shockers’ last loss came in the Final Four, too — to eventual champ Louisville last year.

“It seems like the season started about three weeks ago as opposed to months ago,” Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. “It’s been incredible. They’ve met every challenge.”

Putting this one away early gave a raucous crowd that had braved the threat of freezing rain ample oppor-

CINCINNATI (AP) — Justin Martin had 19 points and a career -high 16 rebounds on Saturday, and Xavier led most of the way during a 75-69 victory over No. 9 Creighton in front of the largest crowd in the 14-year history of the Musketeers’ arena.

It was a long-awaited rematch for Xavier, (20-9, 10-6), which lost one of the Big East’s most wide-open games at Creighton in January.

Martin led the way. The junior guard helped Xavier control the tempo and build a 13-point lead early in the second half that was

tunity to celebrate. Waving signs that applauded their unblemished record, fans packed inside Koch Arena serenaded a senior class led

by Early that managed to elevate the program from a solid mid-major into a national power in the midst of a memorable season.

Along with fellow seniors Chadrack Lufile, Kadeem Coleby and Nick Wiggins, Early gave Marshall a bear hug when he checked out for the final time in the closing minutes.

“I’m just very, very proud of these guys,” Marshall said.

Jarmar Gulley scored 15 points to lead Missouri State, which was dominated on the boards, in transition and just about everywhere else in losing its 10th straight against ranked teams.

more than enough.

Creighton (23-5, 13-3) couldn’t catch up despite 27 points by Doug McDermott, who leads the nation in scoring.

McDermott had 35 points during the Bluejays’ 95-89 win at home on Jan. 12, a game that showed the reconfigured Big East was a whole different conference. Xavier had more going for it in the rematch.

Semaj Christon scored 21 points, Dee Davis added 15, and the Musketeers shot 50 percent from the field.

Xavier got its first victory over a Top 10 team since it beat No. 8 Indiana 80-65 on Nov. 24, 2007.

Right after their loss at Creighton in January, several Musketeers said they couldn’t wait for the

rematch. Xavier sold standing-room tickets for the first time in the Cintas Center’s 14 seasons, resulting in a record crowd of 10,483.

Xavier led for most of the first half, pushing the lead to six points on several occasions. The Musketeers built it to double-digits with a seven-point run that featured Davis’ 3-pointer and a pair of baskets by Christon, making it 41-30 with 2:22 left in the half.

The Musketeers took a 43-34 lead into halftime despite not shooting a free throw. Instead, the Musketeers shot 57.6 percent from the field and went 5 of 6 from beyond the arc.

Martin led the way, getting nine points and matching his career high with 12 rebounds.

“I have girls come up to me after shows and say ‘I’ve never felt so good about my body just watching you perform,’ and when I hear that, I’ve done my job.�

— Burlesque performer Cherry Brown

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — A jazzy band behind her and 100 people crowded into a bar before her, the evening’s emcee walked on to stage wearing a Victorian outfit of corsets, bustles, bloomers and a feathered hat. “Hi everybody, I’m Mama Dixie,� she said, tattoos on her arms and a dress that prominently displayed her cleavage. “I’m the madam of the Pink Box Burlesque.�

With a playful shake of her rear, cheers and hoots rise out of the smoky room. They get a lot louder in a few minutes when another performer is slowly peeling off clothes.

Welcome to modern burlesque.

It’s a revival of an art form that had its heyday in the early 1900s, faded in the 1960s and began making a comeback about 20 years ago. Major cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, New Orleans and Atlanta have burlesque troupes and acts where once none or just a few existed. So do smaller cities like Asheville, N.C., Akron, Ohio, and Tuscaloosa, home of the Pink Box Burlesque, now in its seventh season.

Previously the province of shapely working-class women performing for male audiences, today’s burlesque features a wide variety of body types and includes varied acts: Contortionists, comics, live bands, aerialists, acrobats, fan dancers, tap dancers, torch singers and the occasional hula-hoop artist.

Oh, and “pasties,� the stickers that adhere to the breast to cover the nipple and areola.

At a show of the Pink Box Burlesque, the audience was nearly as varied as the cast. College-age guys mingled with retired couples; a group of young women yelled encouragement from the side.

Nearly all performers use stage names, and few will reveal their legal names publicly. Mama Dixie,

CEO and co-owner of the Pink Box Burlesque, said that’s because many fear backlash from being associated with a form of theater that not only includes partial nudity but makes fun of all sorts of things, religion and politics included. “There are some of our performers who have legitimate concerns about what would happen if people at their regular jobs knew what they were doing,� she said.

Using the stage name Dee Milo, partly to hide her true identity and partly because it was catchy, Dorothy Lonnecker performed burlesque for about 16 years, ending in 1965. Lonnecker didn’t publicly

ABOVE: Members of the Pink Box Burlesque troupe gather on stage at the Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Wednesday. The group, now in its seventh season, is part of a modern revival of burlesque, an art form that had its heyday in the early 1900s, faded in the 1960s and began making a comeback about 20 years ago.

reveal her real name until a revival performance around 1995.

Today’s performers talk about empowerment and being comfortable with their bodies. That mental attitude combined with societal acceptance has led to a difference between the shows of today and those of the ‘40s and ‘50s, Lonnecker said. “The gals used to be more on the thin side,� said Lonnecker, 83, of Salt Lake City, Utah. “Today they’re taking gals who love them-

selves the way they are: Thin, fat, whatever. There’s one who uses a wheelchair.�

Expert Rachel Shteir of DePaul University traces the current popularity of burlesque to a wave of feminism that began in the 1990s.

While “classic� burlesque consisted of women undressing and men telling jokes, she said, today’s shows are more varied have higher production values. “They use performance or really lavish production numbers which

very few burlesque performers could access in the day,� said Shteir, author of “Striptease: The Untold History of the Girlie Show.�

The trend was the subject of the 2010 movie “Burlesque� starring Cher and Christina Aguilera, and the 2001 movie “Moulin Rouge!� is sometimes credited with helping popularize the form.

New Orleans is among the cities experiencing a revival, with more than half a dozen troupes with at least 100 dancers.

B8 Sunday, March 2, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: Before my ex-husband and I were married, I became pregnant with his baby. We decided together that we weren’t ready for the responsibility and made the mutual decision to end the pregnancy early in the first trimester. We did marry eventually and had a baby girl a few years ago who is now in college.

We divorced many years ago because of his many affairs, including one with his best friend’s wife. I have come to believe that my ex told our daughter about our decision out of spite because I told her about the affairs when she was old enough to understand since she may have a half-sister.

Should I ask my daughter about this or let it go? It was a very private decision, and I think he is a creep for hurting her by telling her.

FURIOUS IN ILLINOIS DEAR FURIOUS: Why do you think you ex spilled the beans to your daughter? Has she been behaving differently toward you? Why do you think she “may” have a half-sister? Are you sure it isn’t more than one — or a brother or two?

The fact that you terminated a pregnancy before your daughter’s birth has nothing to do with her. If you think there is something festering between you and your daughter, my advice is to clear the air before it gets worse. #####

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together since August 2012 and have lived together since last summer. He is perfect in every way. He wakes me every morning with a smile and a kiss and pours me a cup of tea. He never goes anywhere without letting me know he thinks I’m beautiful and telling me how much he loves me.

COMICS

He gets home before I do most nights, has a glass of wine and a hot bath waiting for me, and cooks dinner while I’m in the tub. He’s amazing! The only problem is, I was with sooo many of the wrong men for years, I have forgotten how to spoil a man in return.

I want him to know how much I appreciate and love him, but I don’t know how. I just want him to know he’s the one I want to sit on the porch with one day, watching our grandchildren play. I don’t want to lose him because he thinks I don’t appreciate all he does. Please help.

KNOWS A GOOD THING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR KNOWS: When your boyfriend does something for you, thank him for it. Tell him you love him and give him affection in abundance. Express how fortunate you feel to have him in your life. Look for things you can do that will make his life easier, and put forth an effort to reciprocate the many thoughtful things he does for you. Every man is different, but this would be a good start in getting your message across. #####

DEAR ABBY: Is it too late for me to go back to school and get a degree and pursue a career I would enjoy?

I’m 53, married and the mother of two children, 19 and 23. I didn’t finish college, and I don’t know what to do with my life. The only jobs I have ever had were as a retail salesperson. With one child just out of college, I am unsure if I could even afford to continue my education.

Where would I go to find answers about returning to school at my age, choosing a major and finding the money to pay for it? Any advice would be appreciated.

TOO OLD 4 NEW TRICKS?

Family Circus

DEAR TOO OLD?: Contact the nearest university or college and ask if it offers career counseling and aptitude testing to determine what you would need to complete your education and find a career you’d be suited for. Many schools offer this service.

As for it being too late to do this at 53 — it’s never too late. People in their 90s have earned degrees and been enriched by it, and so can you.

Dorothy, here are some Heloise hints to help you! The decals usually can be peeled off with a little effort. Place some foil over a decal and pour on boiling water. Let it sit for five to 10 minutes. Try to pry up a corner, then put some prewash spray or lubricating oil beneath that spot and let it sit for a while. You should then be able to gently peel it off. If needed, you can use a hard, plastic spatula or other such tool to help remove it.

Just be careful not to scratch the tub.

If there is glue residue left over, use a glue-removal product, or sprinkle the spot with cornmeal, then use a nylon pad to scrub away the residue. It might take some elbow grease, but you should be able to remove it all. Clean and rinse the tub, and you are ready for new decals, if you want.

Kansas St. beats No. 15 Iowa St. 80-73 SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Melvin Ejim and DeAndre Kane did all they could for No. 15 Iowa State on Saturday night. Outside of that dynamic scoring duo, though, hardly anyone else came through.

The rest of the Cyclones shot 6 for 35 (17 percent) from the field in an 80-73 loss to Kansas State, which put five players in double figures.

“You look at 38-2 on bench points, that’s a pretty telling stat right there,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. “They did a great job.”

Will Spradling hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:38 left for Kansas State (20-9, 10-6 Big 12), in a four-way tie for second place in the conference with Iowa State, Oklahoma and Texas.

Shane Southwell had 13 points for the Wildcats, trying to earn the No. 2 seed in the league tournament. They play at Oklahoma State on Monday and then host Baylor on Saturday to end the regular season.

Kansas State has won 15 straight at Bramlage Coliseum, its longest home winning streak since the 1981-82 season.

Ejim had 30 points and 16 rebounds, and Kane added 24 points and eight rebounds to pace the Cyclones (22-6, 10-6). Ejim, the Big

12’s active leader in career double-doubles, got his 31st by halftime with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

“He really struggled in his last game and only played 20 minutes,” Hoiberg said. “But we stepped up in his absence and got a big win despite him being on the bench for half of the game. His energy was off the charts tonight. To go out and have 30 and 16 on the road is a pretty big-time performance.”

Behind a 16-0 run, the Wildcats opened a 20-9 lead with 10:44 left in the first half.

Ejim and Kane answered the Kansas State spurt with 28 first-half points while cutting the deficit to 39-34 at the break.

As the “Big Three” for the Cyclones, Ejim, Kane and Georges Niang all came in with scoring averages above 17 points per game in conference play.

Although two of the three lit up the Wildcats’ defense, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber was happy with his team’s effort.

“They had two special players in that arena with Ejim and Kane,” Weber said.

“Both of them are up for being the top players in the league. They’ve had the big three all year and we did the job on Niang. Some of it was getting him in foul trouble, which helped.”

Smart leads Oklahoma Cousins leads Oklahoma St. past Kansas 72-65 past No. 24 Texas 77-65

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Marcus Smart scored 20 of his 21 points in the second half to help Oklahoma State defeat No. 5 Kansas 72-65 on Saturday night and give a major boost to the Cowboys’ once-fading NCAA tournament hopes.

Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9 Big 12) overcame a 10point deficit in the second half.

The Cowboys improved to 3-0 since Smart retur ned from a three-game suspension for shoving a Texas Tech fan.

Andrew Wiggins scored 15 points for Kansas (22-7, 13-3), which already had clinched the Big 12 title outright before tipof f because Texas and Iowa State lost earlier.

The student section was filled nearly an hour before the opening tip. The crowd included Oklahoma City Thunder players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and their coach, Scott Brooks.

Wiggins’ three-point play tied the game at 64 with just over 2 minutes to play.

Kamari Murphy’s layup gave Oklahoma State a 6664 lead with 1:37 remaining. Kansas’ Naadir Tharpe missed a jumper, and Murphy pulled in the rebound.

Smart made a layup with 46.1 seconds left to push Oklahoma State’s lead to four, then he broke the press and hit another layup with 23.8 seconds to go to put the game out of

The Jayhawks led 26-25 at halftime despite 35 percent shooting.

Oklahoma State shot just 24 percent in the first half but forced 11 turnovers. Le’Bryan Nash and Markel Brown scored nine points each to keep the Cowboys in the game.

Smart had one point on 0for-7 shooting.

Wiggins scored five points in the half but committed two fouls.

Brown hit a 3-pointer in the opening seconds of the second half to give Oklahoma State a 28-26 lead, but Kansas answered with a 3pointer by Wayne Selden.

Smart made his first field goal, a 3-pointer, with 17:46 to play.

He drew the third foul on Joel Embiid with 14:19 to go and the Jayhawks up 38-36. Wiggins picked up his third foul 11 seconds later.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Isaiah Cousins has made it a recent focus to play aggressive on both ends of the basketball court and try to be more consistent. The result has been a boon for the Sooners.

Cousins scored a career -high 24 points and Oklahoma gained ground in the race for second place in the Big 12 with a 77-65 win over No. 24 Texas on Saturday.

Buddy Hield hit four 3-pointers and scored 17 points for Oklahoma (21-8, 10-6), which entered the game in a fourway battle with Texas (21-8, 10-6), Kansas State and Iowa State behind Kansas.

After Saturday, all four teams will have two games remaining.

Oklahoma committed a season-low seven turnovers while completing a regular -season sweep of the Longhorns.

The Sooners have won three of the last four games in the series after Texas had won 12 of the previous 15.

“Isaiah did an outstanding job throughout and Buddy (hit) big shots in the second half and R yan (Spangler) rebounded like crazy,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “I’m happy for the guys. It’s tough to beat Texas any time and I’m proud of them.”

Cameron Ridley had his eighth double-double of the season with 19 points and 14 rebounds for Texas, which has lost three of its last four games after winning nine of its previous 10, all in league play.

Texas coach Rick Barnes pointed to one statistic - the Longhor ns’ 16 turnovers, which led to 23 Oklahoma points. Every Texas guard committed at least one turnover, something he said “irritated” him.

“I don’t mind turnovers, if we’re putting the ball inside,” he said. “It was the way we turned the ball over. I think they

McAdoo, No. 19 UNC top Virginia Tech

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — North Carolina’s 11th straight victory gave the Tar Heels one of the top four seeds in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and a bye through to the quarterfinals.

Quite a turnaround for a team that started 1-4 in conference play.

“I don’t know that I care that much about getting a bye,” coach Roy Williams said. “I care more about that meaning that you’ve had a pretty good run. I like winning games.”

James Michael McAdoo scored 15 points to lead No. 19 North Carolina past Virginia Tech 60-56 on Saturday.

McAdoo hit 6 of 9 from the floor for the Tar Heels (22-7, 12-4), who haven’t won this many games in a row since opening the 2008-09 season with 13 straight victories.

McAdoo scored 12 of his 15 points in the second half, including 10 after the Hokies had cut the Tar Heel lead to 42-40 on a basket by Jarell Eddie with 8:54 left in the game. North Carolina answered with seven straight points, with McAdoo scoring the last two points on a basket with 6:57 left to make it 49-40.

“We knew from the get-go that this was a great team we were going to

play,” McAdoo said. “Even though their record may not show it, they have the pieces that make up a great team - from outside shooting to big guys that can score the ball. Their 2-3 zone frustrated us at times, but we were still able to come in here and get a win.”

Leslie McDonald added 14 points and J.P. Tokoto finished with 12 for North Carolina.

“You have to understand that you’re going to go through a season and sometimes you’re going to play really well,” Williams said. “You hope you win those games. Sometimes, you can lose those, but you hope to win.

“But to have a great year, you’ve got to win a lot of games ugly. That’s the way I look at it.”

Eddie led Virginia Tech (9-19, 2-14 ACC) with 18 points.

“When we made our runs, they always seemed to have a guy make a play, whether it was McDonald or (Marcus) Paige or McAdoo,” Virginia Tech coach James Johnson said.

“They made plays, and they have several guys who can make them.”

After trailing 28-21 at halftime, the Hokies tied the game at 36 when Devin Wilson’s 3-pointer with 12:16 remaining capped an 11-2 run.

Tokoto hit a 3-pointer for the Tar Heels to end the run, and North Carolina did not trail again.

Virginia Tech cut the lead to 58-54 on a 3-pointer by Eddie with 40 seconds left, and then McDonald missed two free throws with 35.8 seconds to go, giving the Hokies a chance.

stole two balls, three balls (when we were) passing, reversing the ball, when we should have been driving the ball there. I thought our guards were too tentative.”

Cousins entered the game with a 10.4-point scoring average and has played a key role during a stretch in which Oklahoma has won three of four games. He scored 17 points - then the third-best offensive outing of his career last Saturday in a win over Kansas State before going 7-of-11 from the field and adding three steals against the Longhorns.

Cousins’ extra practice “is really showing up during the games,” he said, adding that he was “in the right place at the right time” on defense.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant, a proud former Texas standout, watched from courtside seats and popped into the Longhorns’ locker room at halftime with Texas down 32-25, but it was Oklahoma - led by Cousins and Hield - that came out the aggressor in the second half.

After a 3-pointer by Texas’ Jonathan Holmes, Cousins - who entered the game averaging 10.4 points per game answered with a three-point play, then a dunk. Hield ended a 13-3 Oklahoma run with a pair of 3-pointers to push the Sooners’ lead to 45-31 with 14:55 left.

He flashed Durant a look after one of those shots.

“It was in the moment,” Hield said, smiling. “I was just trying to make a play for my teammates and I happened to turn my head right. There was nothing I could do.”

Texas came no closer than 11 points the rest of the way. The Longhor ns pulled to 61-50 with 7:55 left after a layup by Martez Walker. Oklahoma then went on a 7-2 spurt to again push out its lead.

South Carolina beats No. 17 Kentucky 72-67 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Frank Martin went from one of the most disappointing games of his career to his best win so far at South Carolina.

Brenton Williams scored 24 points for South Carolina, and Kentucky coach John Calipari was ejected midway through the second half as the Gamecocks held off the 17th-ranked Wildcats 72-67 on Saturday night.

Coming off a seven-point loss to Auburn that was uglier than the score indicated, Martin made his team run all practice. He kept screaming “Kentucky!” at them to remind them that they aren’t anywhere near the elite team he came to South Carolina to lead.

“I refuse to give in to difficult moments. And I thought our team was giving in to us not playing well, to our record,” Martin said.

It was the Wildcats (21-8, 11-5 Southeast Conference), who looked like the team in the league basement, missing 14 straight shots, shooting less than 27 percent from the field and watching Calipari walk out of the arena with his suit coat buttoned but his shirttail out.

Calipari’s ejection marked a turning point in a terrible game for Kentucky. After he left, the Wildcats responded with a 28-17 run and, after a three-point play by Julius Randle, Kentucky trailed 68-67 with 22 seconds left.

But freshman Sindarius Thornwell hit two free throws for South Carolina (11-18, 4-12), and Alex Poythress’ attempt at a tying 3-pointer fell short.

It was South Carolina’s first win over a top 25 team in more than three years and pulled the Gamecocks out of last place in the SEC. Students ignored repeated warnings and stormed the court, likely incurring a hefty fine from the league.

Chaves County DWI works to prevent tragedies, provides alternatives

High school students who were taken to Santa Fe by the Chaves County DWI Program to present their ideas to the legislature. Here they have a chance to commemorate the trip by having their picture taken with Lt. Gov. John Sanchez.

The Chaves County DWI Program has tackled the growing problem of distracted driving. The computer simulator graphically illustrates what can happen when texting and driving.

Lake Arthur DWI Leadership Students addressing their concerns with Senator Gay Kernan and Rep. Bob Wooley during a busy legislative session

The Chaves County DWI program is not only about prevention, although it a big portion of it; it is also about alternatives.

“We provide training; we teach leadership skills. We ask them to research a topic and then we take them to Santa Fe, where they can lobby in the Legislature,” said Diane Taylor, DWI prevention specialist.

Their most recent lobbying efforts was the subject of the students’ choosing. It gave the participants the opportunity to visit with Gov. Susana Martinez. Taylor explained it presented the students with a challenge.

“They study something and lobby. This time, it was ‘if you drop out of school you lose your (driver’s) license.’”

Funds from the CCDWI finance media programs at Goddard High School, where students do the research, write the scripts, produce and act in television commercials. These are broadcast statewide on KOB. Some of their commercials use local talent, people who have become national celebrities, such as golf pro Gerina Mendoza Piller. Her mother is a PE teacher and her father is with the Roswell Police Department. Piller donated her time.

“It took eight hours to make.

They worked on it the Friday before Christmas,” Taylor said.

Another Goddard High School graduate, Rodney Austin, returned to Roswell helped with the professional production, bringing specialized production equipment in from the Coast.

The Goddard High commercial was a hit. It is available on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=HVeJVd2SUG0.

The message discusses staying in school and graduating, making the right decisions, working hard to attain goals and realizing one’s dreams. Thus, the CCDWI broadens the student’s horizon. It is about removing boundaries and limitations that can leave the young person stranded in a world where there are no tomorrows.

The CCDWI program does wait until a youth is in middle school and high school when a child is subjected to all sorts of temptations and peer pressure. It starts in elementary school with firstgraders with “protecting you and protecting me.”

The program also funds the Red Ribbon Project, a parade that starts at Sunset Elementary and goes to the Roswell Industrial Complex. The children at the ele-

mentary level are not the only ones who participate. The Roswell High School band and cheerleaders, Mountain View and Sidney Gutierrez middle schools provide backup music and march along.

Other organizations involved include: Youth ChalleNGE and Character Counts of Chaves County. The Roswell Police Department, Roswell Emergency Services and Roswell Fire Department cordon off the route to keep the children safe. The children carry balloons and banners, and everyone has a good time.

Another project is Positive Changes in Dexter, which is supported by various organizations and businesses who present job opportunities and educate students about the programs available to help them get into college.

Of course, CCDWI still does the programs for which they have become renowned, such as Every 15 minutes, where a handpicked victim “dies” in an alcohol-related accident. The death is announced at a sporting event, and no one knows who the victim may be until they are revealed. The students then attend a funeral, and it accurately and poignantly portrays what happens when youths lose one of their own.

Another program is Project Graduation. It is an all-night event for graduates to celebrate, with food and prizes that can be used for college. The goal is to ensure that the new graduates celebrate the transition from youth to young adult safely.

In the past, CCDWI has brought in Danny Ortega, who was paralyzed when a drunk driver ran into the vehicle, and City Councilor Art Sandoval, who was in the same vehicle. They go to schools to discuss their experiences. Both are success stories, people who have overcome a devastating incident and achieved their goals. Both are educators, Sandoval in Roswell and Ortega in Las Cruces.

“Their lives were changed by a drunk driver,” said Taylor.

The CCDWI has also expanded their horizons to distracted driving. “The use of cell phones while driving have increased fatalities by 6 percent, and I think that figure is growing,” Taylor said. They have purchased a simulator, which vividly portrays the results of not paying attention when you are at the wheel.

“There is no text, no phone call, no party that’s worth a life. ... All these tragedies are 100 percent preventable,” she concluded.

Documentary explores the meaning of family

Fathom Events, Focus on the Family and Pine Creek Entertainment will present “Irreplaceable” in select U.S. cinemas in an evening of dialogue on Tuesday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m. local time.

“Irreplaceable” follows T im Sisarich, executive director of Focus on the Family New Zealand, as he explores the answers to two critical questions: “What is family?” and “Does family still matter in today’s society?”

The first in a series of documentaries by Focus on the Family, this special one-night showing of “Irreplaceable” will include a panel discussion featuring prominent faith leaders.

The discussion, hosted by Focus on the Family President Jim Daly, will include Tim Sisarich as well as the documentary’s producer Michael Sajbel.

“Every day in the media, the life choices of my neighbors and even in public policy, I seem to be told I’ve got it wrong,” said Sisarich.

“I have to ask the question, does culture have it right or is there something better?”

Sisarich examines why all humans have a yearning

to be part of a family and looks at the forces that can contribute to the breakdown of a family. “Irreplaceable” will attempt to answer these central questions by spotlighting cultural, historical and religious experiences from around the globe.

The documentary also features interviews with experts from all walks of life, including Professor of Law Helen Alvaré; National Center for Fathering CEO Carey Casey; radio host Michael Medved; speaker and radio host John Stonestreet; author Eric Metaxas; neuropsychologist Dr. Anne Moir; philosopher Dr. Roger Scruton; authors Gabe and Rebekah Lyons; scholar Nancy Pearcey and others. “‘Irreplaceable’ takes us on an incredible journey of discovery about the meaning of family and how it can impact our world,” said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of Fathom Events. “This Focus on the Family event will give audiences the opportunity to reflect on how family has helped shape each of us and our world.”

“Irreplaceable” will be

presented in more than 700 select movie theaters the country around through Fathom’s exclusive Digital Broadcast Network.

“Irreplaceable” will be shown at the following cin-

In 1994, Dan Pope founded Benchmark in Lubbock, Texas, with the goal of becoming the “vendor of choice” for documentrelated solutions in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. At that time, Benchmark only serviced the Lubbock County area.

After 20 years, it has grown to support an area that stretches from El Paso to Tucumcari and east to Wichita Falls with offices in Lubbock, Roswell, Snyder, El Paso, Wichita Falls, Amarillo, Stephenville, San Antonio and Abilene.

“It’s the outstanding work and tireless dedication by our sales professionals, service technicians, administrative staff, and leadership team that have allowed this kind of success for our company,” Horn said.

Roswell to choose mayor, council members Tuesday The 2014 municipal election season generated its own sparks before Election Day arrived this year, as Roswell voters face selecting a mayor and five councilors to lead them through the next four years.

Candidates began early, focusing on issues of crime and economic development.

Mayor Del Jurney and incumbent Councilors Dusty Huckabee, Art Sandoval and Barry Foster face opposition. Councilor Jimmy Craig will not seek another term and Councilor Jason Perry is running unopposed.

The race for mayor began early as former state representative and lawman Dennis Kintigh announced his bid on the steps of the Chaves County Courthouse to a group of enthusiastic supporters and patriotic fanfare in September.

From the start, Kintigh has promised to “get Roswell moving again” and deal with crime in the city, clean up the community and grow economic development by encouraging growth in energy, agriculture, aviation and tourism.

Jurney continued his duties as mayor and quietly filed for re-election in January with his wife, Kristie, by his side.

Jurney, a businessman who has spent 10 years in real estate and five in banking, now runs a non-profit agency. He said he has focused on creating wealth and quality of life issues during his time in office.

He plans to keep businesses coming to Roswell and would continue to work with them to create

wealth and take care of the community needs.

During the campaign, Jurney has pointed to the strides the city had made with boosting the police force to full-staffing levels in order to continue to fight crime. The council also recently worked to settle an agreement with the police for raises and a new contract.

Huckabee’s Ward 1 challenger is political newcomer Natasha Mackey, who said she wants to be a “fresh voice” for the city.

In Ward 2, three candidates are vying for Craig’s seat: businessman Caleb Grant, U.S. Army veteran Jerry Heck and New Mexico Gas Company engineer James MacCornack. Ward 3 candidates Sandoval and pest control company owner Joe Green are opponents.

The only other contested seat is in the southern region, Ward 5.

Incumbent Foster is challenged by businesswoman Tabitha Denny.

In forums, the message by challengers has consistently been that Roswell needs to focus on controlling crime throughout the city, improving economic development and begin providing better options for youth.

During the contentious past few months, Church on the Move pastor T roy Smother mon has endorsed MacCornack and Green as the church’s selected candidates. The candidates have received contributions from several church members. The Chaves County Democratic Party Chairman Fred Moran also said he endorsed Jurney as the better choice for Democrats in the county.

Election day is Tuesday.

He began his political service in 1985 by spending 13 years as a planning and zoning commissioner. He served on City Council from 1999 to 2004. He ran for mayor and lost in 2006.

Jurney moved to Roswell soon after he was born in 1957 in Coffeyville, Kan. He graduated from Goddard High School and attended Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1979. He returned to Roswell in 1983.

Jurney’s professional experience has included 10 years in the banking business, five years in real estate and his current work with a non-profit agency.

He is married to Kristie, a kindergarten teacher at Washington Avenue Elementary School. The two have a 27-year-old son, Drew. The Jurneys are charter members of Grace Community Church.

Dennis Kintigh was born in 1952 in Greensburg, Pa. He spent two terms as a New Mexico state representative from Dist. 57 from 2009 to 2013.

He served four years working in the military space program in Los Angeles and worked on the space shuttle program. He graduated from the FBI Academy in 1982 and began his law enforcement career in Los Angeles.

Jurney, Kintigh meet in bilingual forum ELECTION

Roswell Daily Record

RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Mayor Del Jur ney and his challenger, Dennis Kintigh, answered audience submitted questions in a bilingual forum at St. John The Baptist Catholic Church on Friday.

The forum was sponsored by the Alliance for Peace and Justice and moderated by Chris Herrera and translator Maria Villa. The mayoral candidates spoke before a crowd of about 150.

Kintigh answered the evening’s first question by saying his approach to getting input from the public was to hold town hall meetings, such as he had held when he was interim police chief.

“Three years ago, I stood here at St. John’s and listened to the community’s concerns for three hours,” Kintigh said. “I wanted to be here to hear your concer ns, your frustrations and your fears.”

Kintigh said he would strive to engage the public in discussions, and he would not make promises, but would lead by example.

Jurney said that when he was first elected, he had numerous town hall meetings.

“At these meetings were not only myself, but members of the City Council and department supervisors were also there to hear from the public,” Jurney said.

“I take the responsibilities of this office seriously and I hope we are very approachable.”

A member of the Alliance for Peace and Justice asked

if elected mayor, would either candidate meet with the organization within three months of the election, and Kintigh replied, “why not in three days?”

Jurney agreed with his opponent. “Absolutely, I definitely would want to discuss issues important to the Alliance and the community.”

The candidates were asked: “If one in eight workers in the oil and dairy industries are immigrants, then how can we not support immigration reform?”

Kintigh said a visiting worker program is much needed, but reform has to come from the federal government and be instituted at a national level.

“We have to follow their lead,” he said. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s the truth.”

“I do support immigration reform, but I can’t tell you what that will look like,” Jurney said. “I don’t disagree with Mr. Kintigh in that the problem must be clarified at the national level.

“However, I think we should sit and visit at the grassroots level and come up with ideas for change, then give those ideas to our state representatives who can take them to Washington.”

The candidates were also asked why the city was spending money on the city’s golf course instead of repairing the swimming pool at the Boys & Girls Club for the children to use.

Kintigh said spending $400,000 each year on the golf course was unacceptable and the city should look into raising fees,

including increasing fees for non-city residents who play at the course.

Jur ney said the golf course is just one of many services the city provides, including the Yucca Center, transportation, and the Adult Center, to name a few.

“Typically we depend on capital outlay funding from the state for projects such as the swimming pool.”

When asked how he would improve relations between the Roswell Police Department and the Hispanic community, Jurney said he has worked with the police department and the chief over the past four years to build respect and trust between the officers

and the community.

“Everyone should be treated equal under the law,” he said.

Kintigh said the Hispanic community had witnessed his behavior when he served as police chief and held town hall meetings with the residents.

“If you recall, we didn’t wear badges or guns to the meeting, I didn’t want to intimidate or discourage discussion. And I stood here for three hours answering questions. That is what you will get with me as mayor.”

The final question of the evening involved undocumented immigrants possessing New Mexico driver’s licenses.

“If someone is not lawfully in the U.S., then they should not have government issued identification,” Kintigh said. “I’m sorry, I know that is going to upset some people here, but I am not going to lie to you.”

“I don’t disagree, we are a nation of laws,” said Jurney, adding that driver’s licenses provide a level of safety to the community.

“I have been honored to serve as mayor, and I think I have done so with honor and dignity for the community as a whole,” Jurney said. “I love Roswell, and I love this community.”

“One issue we have not discussed tonight is public safety,” Kintigh said. “There has been a lot of pain in

this community because people have been hurt.”

Kintigh said there were nine murders in Roswell during the past year, and that there was a sense in town that as long as you were not in a certain part of the city or in a certain group, you were safe from harm.

“There is blood in the streets and we have to confront the problem,” Kintigh said. “I will not lie, I will tell you straight up, we have to act as a community and quit pretending that if you don’t live in a certain section you’re not at risk. This is an important issue and it has to be our No. 1 priority.”

Dogs feel no shame despite the look D6 Sunday, March 2, 2014

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The next time you start shaking your finger and shouting “Shame on you!” because your dog chewed up your favorite fuzzy slippers, just remember that no matter how guilty your dog looks, it doesn’t know what your rant is about.

Behaviorists insist dogs lack shame. The guilty look — head cowered, ears back, eyes droopy — is a reaction to the tantrum you are throwing now over the damage they did hours earlier.

“Just get over it and remind yourself not to put temptation in the way next time,” said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

But scientific findings have not put a dent in the popularity of online dog shaming sites like dogshaming.com and shameyourpet.com or

videos like those posted on youtube.com/crackrockcan dy. In the photos and videos, dogs wear humorous written “confessions” and often are surrounded by the remnants of their misdeeds. There is no question that in some photos, they look guilty of eating, drinking, chewing, licking or destroying something they shouldn’t have.

Dogshaming.com was the first and is among the most popular sites. Since Pascale Lemire started it in August 2012, it has received more than 58 million page views and more than 65,000 submissions. A submission has to come with a photo showing the dog’s guilty look.

Lemire, who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, also published a book called “Dog Shaming,” which hit the New York T imes best-seller list in January.

“I don’t think dogs actually feel shame,” Lemire said. “I think they know

how to placate us with this sad puppy-dog look that makes us think they’re ashamed of what they’ve done. My guess is that their thinking is: ‘Oh man, my owner is super mad about something, but I don’t know what, but he seems to calm down when I give him the sad face, so let’s try that again.”’

She thinks the online dog shaming memes are all in good fun.

“People come for a laugh and camaraderie,” Lemire said. “They see that their dog isn’t the only one who does awful things. People don’t shame their dogs out of anger, they do it out of love.”

Another dog owner helped get celebrities into the trend. In late 2011, Jeremy Lakaszcyck of Boston started putting shaming videos of his lemon beagle, Maymo, on YouTube. Four months later, Ellen DeGeneres ran one of them on her show

He also submitted photos to Lemire for dogshaming.com, which made Maymo even more famous.

Maymo has a naturally sad or guilty face and senses something is wrong if Lakaszcyck speaks in a stern voice. “They know when their owners are angry.

“Maymo can sit for quite a while looking sad because he’s a ham. It’s natural, and he knows a treat is coming. His tail usually wags through the wait. It’s like he’s happy on one end and sad on the other,” he said.

One of the first scientific studies on the “guilty dog look” was conducted in 2009 by Alexandra Horowitz, an associate professor of psychology at Barnard College in New York City. One of her books,

“Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know,” included the findings.

In the study, she used 14 dogs, videotaping them in a series of trials and studying how they reacted when an owner left the room after telling them not to eat a treat. When the owners returned, sometimes they knew what the dogs had done and sometimes they didn’t and sometimes the dogs had eaten the treats and sometimes they hadn’t.

“I found that the ‘look’ appeared most often when owners scolded their dogs, regardless of whether the dog had disobeyed or did something for which they might or should feel guilty.

It wasn’t ‘guilt’ but a reaction to the owner that prompted the look,” Horowitz said.

“I am not saying that dogs might not feel guilt, just that the ‘guilty look’ is not an indication of it,” she added. She also believes

there is a difference between guilt and shame.

Dogs can certainly learn from bad behavior, but rewards or punishment are most effective right after the wrongdoing, said Beaver, the veterinary professor.

“The farther it gets from that, the less connection is made with the behavior,” she said.

At some point, your dog will probably cower, waiting for you to complete your meltdown, ditch the negative voice and lose the nasty body language, Beaver said.

But you do wonder what other emotions dogs lack besides guilt.

“Humans have a natural desire to know what an animal is thinking, and yet we are limited to reading body language and measuring physiological reactions,” Beaver said. The bottom line is: “We will never truly know because we cannot ask them.”

In Cuba, trend seen away from eccentric names

HAVANA (AP) — Yanitse Garcia has spent three decades correcting people on the pronunciation and spelling of her first name.

So when her firstborn came into the world three years ago, Garcia decided to save her daughter a lifetime of grief by choosing a simple name that everyone knows and which flows off the tongue: Olivia.

“What I liked about Olivia is precisely that it wouldn’t be a bother for her,” Garcia, a 32year-old specialist in foreign languages, said with a laugh. “It works for both Spanish and English, and nobody ever will misspell it.”

Garcia is part of Cuba’s socalled Generation Y, the thousands upon thousands of islanders born during the Cold War whose parents turned tradition on its ear by giving them invented monikers inspired by Russian names like Yevgeny, Yuri or Yulia. The phenomenon was so prevalent that dissident writer Yoani Sanchez chose “Generation Y” as the title of her well-known blog; her counterpart on the cyber-ideological battlefield is a pro-gover nment blogger and tweeter who uses the handle Yohandry Fontana.

More than two decades after

the fall of the Iron Curtain, Cubans are increasingly returning to more traditional handles for their kids, saying they believe it will better suit them personally and professionally when they grow up. More and more, names like Maria and Alejandro are replacing the likes of Yoleissi, Yuniesky, Yadinnis, Yilka, Yiliannes, Yonersi, Yusleibis, Yolady, Yudeisi or Yamilka.

“The Y thing was like a fever, a boom. It was (about) doing something different from the monotony of the Pedros and the Rauls,” said Carlos Paz Perez, a sociolinguist at Miami Dade College and the author of a dictionary of Cuban slang. “But now that has passed and there is a tendency to recover traditional names.”

Decades ago many Cuban parents named their kids after other family members or hewed to the common practice in the Spanishspeaking world of honoring the Roman Catholic saint associated with a child’s birth date.

There were only a smattering of eccentric monikers back then, said Uva de Aragon, a retired Cuban-American academic and writer born in 1944 in Havana.

De Aragon’s own name was inspired by her grandfather, Ubaldo, and she also recalled a

family friend named Olidey after the English “holiday.”

After the 1959 revolution and Cuba’s subsequent self-declaration as an officially atheist state, folks really started getting creative.

“As many people stopped baptizing their children, it was no longer necessary to pick a name that was in the calendar of saints,” de Aragon said.

Inventions like Vicyhoandry began creeping into state birth registries, as did names such as Daymer — a combination of Daniel and Mercedes — and backward renderings as in Airam instead of Maria. So too did curious English-language borrowings: More than a few Cubans can say with a straight face that Danger is not their middle name, but their first.

Meanwhile, Cold War geopolitics also inspired names such as Katiuska, after the Russian-made Katyusha missile launchers.

Other kids were called Che, Stalina or Hanoi.

But it was the Generation Y phenomenon that was uniquely Cuban, and brought out many parents’ creative instincts. Consider the name Yotuel, a mash-up of the Spanish-language pronouns “yo,” “tu” and “el,” or “I,”

“you” and “he” in English.

Y-fashion spread overseas through migration to Florida and elsewhere, and some of the most famous examples are found on Major League Baseball rosters in the names of defected stars Yasiel Puig and Yoenis Cespedes.

While there’s no public data available, experts and parents alike have noted a clear trend away from Y-based and other eccentric names in recent years.

An AP review of one high school class list in Havana turned up a dozen unusual names including Yuneysi, Luzaniobis, Alianis and Dianabell, among 40 students.

Meanwhile a first-grade class of 20 students had just two, Raicol and Nediam — apparently the English word “maiden” spelt backward.

“The phenomenon in Cuba got out of control, it got out of hand.

Names are also the image of the country,” said Aurora Camacho, a researcher at the governmental Institute of Literature and Linguistics of Cuba who called for legal guidelines on the naming of children.

She’s not alone. Eccentric names have been popular elsewhere in Latin America and at times provoked a backlash.

In 2007, Venezuelan authori-

ties unsuccessfully pushed a bill that would have outlawed “names that expose (children) to ridicule, be they extravagant or of difficult pronunciation” after two Supermans were discovered in the registry. A similar proposal failed in the Dominican Republic in 2009.

This month, the Mexican state of Sonora banned 61 oddball names that had been found at least once in state registries. They included Facebook, Rambo, Circumcision, Lady Di and Juan Calzon, or “Juan Underpants.”

Recent months have seen articles in Cuban of ficial media warning of the need to regulate naming practices and urging parents to be thoughtful when it comes time to register their newborns.

But the simple ebb and flow of naming fashions seems to be turning the tide even without the heavy hand of the government.

Yanitse Garcia, whose husband is Raisel — a cross between Raimundo and Elena — said all of her daughter Olivia’s cousins also have traditional names: Ernesto, Gabriela, Carlos and Christian.

“I think there was a saturation,” Paz Perez said.

C. African Republic orphans walk to refuge alone

CARNOT, Central African Republic (AP) — Ibrahim Adamou's parents had just been killed in front of him.

He wasn't sure whether any of his five siblings had survived the attack by Christian militiamen who opened fire on his family of herders as they journeyed on foot.

The 7-year-old just knew he had to keep running.

Covering 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) barefoot and alone, he slept under the thick cover of banana trees at night and followed the red rutted paths by day, not entirely sure where he was going, with nothing to eat.

Finally he encountered peacekeepers who gave him some cookies and pointed

the way to Carnot, where a Catholic church was sheltering some 800 Muslims, including many ethnic Peuls like Ibrahim. With the help of a Christian man on a motorcycle who risked his life by giving the boy a lift, Ibrahim arrived at the church early Monday.

"When we got to a checkpoint, the militia fighters told the man, 'Leave the boy here and we will kill him'," Ibrahim recounted softly. "But the man said, 'If you are going to kill him, you must kill me too' and then they let us pass."

What is even more remarkable about Ibrahim's story is that there are at least six other children under the age of 10 with a

nearly identical story in Carnot. In the nearly three months since the country erupted in violence between Christians and Muslims, leaving many hundreds dead, children appear to be in many cases the only survivors.

The Peul are a nomadic community of herders who span West and Central Africa. They often travel great distances on foot — a habit that probably enabled these children to make the journey alone.

Many, like Ibrahim's family, came under attack as they were fleeing west from violence earlier this month.

The survivors are only now making their way to Carnot.

"Unfortunately after fleeing they fell upon a spot where violence also had erupted," said Dramane Kone, project coordinator in Carnot for Doctors Without Borders, which has treated some of the children for malnutrition.

The refugees at the church may not be safe much longer.

The ar med Christian gangs outside the concretewalled compound have ordered them to leave the country within a week or face death. The fighters have brought in gasoline and threatened to burn the church to the ground.

Ibrahim was brought to the church after the man on the motorcycle hid the

boy in his home for several days. Scores of fellow Peul came to hear what news the youngster had brought from the countryside, gathering around him as he wolfed down a bowl of porridge.

Sitting on a bench outside the priest's quarters, his tiny legs too short to touch the ground, the boy seemed overwhelmed by the attention and pulled the hood of his adult-size gray sweatshirt tight around his tiny bird-like face.

The other refugees gave him what coins they had so that he could pay someone to cook meals for him at the mission. The priests said he is welcome as long

as he likes, though he was clearly on his own in a sea of strangers.

Around 10:30 on a recent night, a distressed Cameroonian peacekeeper knocked on the church door to wake up the priests. A little Muslim girl who didn't know how old she was had turned up in the center of town, barefoot and shaken. The priests emerged in their pajamas to bring her inside.

Habiba, believed to be about 7, saw anti-Balaka militants kill her parents and her brothers, she whispered to a priest. They asked her where she came from: Her village was more than 80 kilometers away by foot.
