Dexter serial forger sentenced to eight years

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

A Dexter woman who stole checks from her aunt and defrauded a man of his tax refund has been sentenced to eight years in prison for defrauding multiple citizens, businesses and banks in eight different criminal cases.

Kristy Kay Glinis, 44, was convicted of 78 counts on forgery, fraud, fraud by worthless check, larceny, receiving stolen property and altering a driver’s license.

Glinis was sentenced March 6 in Roswell by Fifth Judicial District Judge James Hudson. In addition to the eight-year prison sentence, Glinis was sentenced to one year parole following her prison sentence.

Fifth Judicial District Attorney Janetta Hicks said the victims of

Glinis involved about 11 citizens, 20 businesses and three banks, all within one year, amounting to a financial loss to the community of $16,926.

Glinis faced a maximum possible sentence of 20 years incarceration on the convictions. Hicks said each of the felony charges was enhanced by one year, pursuant to the habitual offender act, because of Glinis’ previous forgery convictions.

Glinis was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Kristen Cartwright of the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

“This was a team effort from the law enforcement agencies within Chaves County and the sentence given shows a tough stance on white-collar crime,” Cartwright said.

Glinis was convicted in eight

separate cases investigated by the Roswell and Dexter police departments, the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office and New Mexico State Police.

In the Dexter case, police said Glinis stated she had been entrusted with an all-terrain vehicle valued at $2,500, which a Dexter man reported stolen in December 2013. Police found Glinis’ son riding the four-wheeler along Yakima Road in Dexter on Dec. 19, 2013, and charged Glinis with receiving stolen property, according to court records.

In a Roswell case in December 2013, Glinis’ aunt said she allowed Glinis to live at her home for about a week. During her stay, Glinis stole three checks from her aunt’s checkbook and wrote fraudulent checks in Roswell and Carlsbad, police said.

Glinis was charged with two counts of forgery and two counts of larceny in that case.

In another Roswell case filed in January, police said Glinis attempted to cash several fraudulent checks at a Roswell bank for more than $3,000. Police said Glinis stated her mother had given her the checks made payable to “Kristy’s Accounting Service” or Kristy Glinis. In total, the bank said it lost $1,922 for cashing bogus checks written by Glinis.

In addition, Roswell police said Glinis wrote numerous checks with insufficient funds, including a $24 bad check to a Girl Scout.

She was charged with 13 counts of unlawful to issue worthless checks, four counts of forgery and one count of fraud in a single case.

Glinis Roswell police said Glinis also defrauded a man while performing his federal income taxes.

Police said the man was behind

‘Ultimate’ Pi Day comes once every 100 years

Scam callers claim to be cops

Submitted by RPD

Washington Avenue Elementary School celebrated Ultimate Pi Day on Saturday.

It’s the only time in 100 years when the date and time form the first 10 digits of the numeral pi, 3/14/15 9:26:53 a.m. Pi (π) is also the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. The number π is a mathematical constant and infinite number, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. The teachers, parents and students celebrated with several math and pi-related activities relating to understanding circles, diameter, radius and circumference. The morning activities ended with a pie-eating contest among third-, fourth- and fifthgrade teachers. Natalie Duncan, who ate a banana cream pie, was the final winner.

Farmer’s Country Market donated several full-size pies that were given away as door prizes. Everyone who came received a fried pie, pencils, “I Love Pi” buttons and coloring books that featured “pi words” to help celebrate Pi Day.

Fire at newspaper damages single office

By Wheeler Cowperthwaite Rio Grande Sun

ESPANOLA — Arsonists attempted to light the Rio Grande Sun building on fire on March 7, but caused damage to a single office.

The gasoline-fueled fire mostly burned behind a fire-retardant cabinet and flames were contained to a cinderblock room. Smoke caused the majority of the damage in the office.

The perpetrator jumped out of a truck, threw a large rock through the building’s side window and then shoved a one-gallon gas can through the hole before igniting it, Publisher

Robert Trapp said.

The arsonist wedged the plastic gas can between the overhead cabinets of a desk and the lower wall and turned it upside down. Part of the gas can, touching the remains of the glass window, melted and the can fell back out, he said.

Inside the office, a space heater partially melted and two chairs were damaged. Most of the papers on the desk were undamaged, including certificates pinned to the underside of the overhead cabinets.

Espanola, 26 miles north of Santa Fe, has a long hisSee FIRE, Page A2

Several Roswell residents received phone calls Monday that featured the caller presenting a familiar phone-scam story, but with a new wrinkle.

The caller — who in each case had a heavy foreign accent — told his intended victims the IRS had a warrant out for their arrest, a popular tax-season scam that had already reached Roswell. However, in a new twist, the caller claims to be with the Roswell Police Department.

The RPD does not call anyone to inform them of warrants against them. Anyone who receives a call from somebody making these fraudulent claims should hang up. Most scammers will, at some point in the call, try to get money from the intended victim.

Never give financial or other personal identification information on the phone unless you initiated the call and are certain who you are talking to.

The scam calls may appear to have a legitimate origin although they actually don’t.

In a couple instances Monday, caller ID functions indicated to the call recipient that the call was coming from the main phone number at the Roswell police station. Scammers may be using computer programs that are available that can make calls appear to be coming from numbers other than the numbers from which they are actually being made.

Gov. criticizes Senate vacancy nominee delay SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez’s office is criticizing delays by some counties in submitting names of nominees to fill a vacant state Senate seat.

Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, resigned Saturday amid criticism about his role in a real estate sale involving a stateowned building. His district included parts of six counties, and each county must nominate a possible replacement.

Martinez called on the counties to submit their nominees to her by late Sunday, but the Santa Fe, San Miguel, Bernalillo and

Valencia county commissions decided to postpone a decision until later in the week.

Santa Fe County Commission Chair Robert Anaya sent a letter to Martinez after Sunday’s emergency meeting to explain the commissioners’ decision not to rush a nomination.

“The board wanted to ensure an opportunity for robust public input and participation in this important process, which will impact Senate District 39 beyond the last six days See VACANCY, Page A3

tory of contentious politics and drug-related crime.

The newspaper has been the frequent target of vandalism for aggressively reporting political corruption.

Rio Grande Sun neighbor Christine May called 911 at 4:57 a.m. and said she heard a noise and saw flames coming out of the side of the building, E911 Dispatch Center logs state.

At 5:03 a.m., Officer Lee Lopez came on the scene and confirmed that there were flames coming out of the building. Less than a minute later, firefighters arrived, the logs state.

The firefighters attempted to find a way into the building before breaking down the front door.

Once inside the building, they prepared themselves to spray the inside of the smoldering room. Once they opened the door, the gasoline fire swelled back to life before water immediately tamped it back down.

“It went ‘woof’ when they opened the door,” Trapp said.

The fire could have spread to the rest of the building only if it made its way to the wood door that shut, once the fire started, depriving it of oxygen.

Although, that would be unlikely, considering the walls are either cinderblock or faced with 3 / 4 -inch sheet rock and nothing particularly flammable was close to the door.

Rows of books next to the burning room received no water damage.

Trapp said the firefighters did an exemplary job of putting out the fire and causing no damage to anything else in the building, except for the broken-down front door.

He said he vacuumed up a gallon of water from the floor, pittance from the gallons he expected to be mopping up.

“The problem is, I’ve got to clean up and I have to buy a copier,” Trapp said.

The arson is a hassle but it caused so little damage, that work continues as usual.

“We didn’t miss a beat,” he said. “Everyone came in, did their jobs and soldiered through the smell.”

After the fire, the Sun office smelled vaguely like a welding shop.

Although the fire was contained to one cinderblock wall and lightly burned a heavy desk, it could have been far worse.

“I assume they were trying to burn it down,” Trapp said.

He said the arson attempt does not bother him.

Roswell Daily Record “It’s not that big of a deal,” he said.

Española Police Detectives have a few leads in the case, including a distinctive vehicle.

The detectives are investigating the case with help from the state Fire Investigations Bureau Investigator Jeff Hill.

Española Det. George Martinez said Hill sent the gas can to a lab to be tested for fingerprints.

Surveillance footage shows flames come out of the broken window and then a man run across the front of the building.

Trapp said he put up security cameras to prevent the building from being the continued target of graffiti. Once up, the vandals stayed away.

Trapp said he has no idea who the culprit is or what the motivation was.

If the damage were major, half the staff would likely be working at a neighboring newspaper and the other half would be sitting in Trapp’s living room, he said.

He said when natural or man-made disasters strike newspapers, other papers in the area usually throw open their doors and accommodate the competition until working conditions improve.

While this is the first time someone has attempted to burn down the

newspaper, the Sun is no stranger to vandalism.

During the past 20 years, the building has been hit by at least 20 incidents, usually aimed at the windows.

The projectiles of choice range from paintballs to rocks to bullets, he said.

Rocks thrown through the windows over the years adorn the wall that separates departments and a large bullet hole still mars one window in the same front office that was attacked, along with three smaller holes.

The one lesson Trapp learned from the fire is that he needed to update his phone number with the dispatch center and install a wall-mounted safe, containing a door key, for firefighters or police officers should something else happen to the building.

Deputy Fire Chief Eric Tafoya said business owners usually give the safe’s combination to the dispatch center employees who keep it on file in case of emergencies such as fires or burglaries.

Trapp said dispatchers only had his late father’s number on file. Fortunately, his brother lives in the house now and kept the same phone number. He answered the phone and gave dispatchers Trapp’s correct number.

NM Senate confirms Monique Jacobson as head of Children, Youth and Families Dept.

SANTA FE (AP) — The state Senate has confirmed Gov. Susana Martinez’s nominee to head New Mexico’s beleaguered child welfare agency.

Monique Jacobson’s nomination as secretary of the Children, Youth and Families Department sailed through on a 35-2 vote Monday.

About two dozen senators voiced confidence in Jacobson, praising her organizational and leadership skills.

Sen. Mary Kay Papen, D-Las Cruces, said New Mexico families and children “are very lucky” to have Jacobson as the head of CYFD. Jacobson previously head-

ed the Tourism Department, with fewer than 100 employees. She now leads a 2,400-member department.

Laying out her goals for CYFD, Jacobson told senators at a committee hearing earlier Monday that she was ready for the job despite lacking a background in social work.

The Taos native was a PepsiCo Inc. executive before she became tourism head. She’s results oriented, won’t let fear get in the way of doing her job, and she’s a fighter, Jacobson said.

She highlighted five areas at CYFD in which she wants to take action, including

recruitment and retention of workers, prevention, and engaging with the community.

About 20 people, including New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas, spoke in support of Jacobson before the Senate Rules Committee voted to send her nomination to the full Senate.

Several senators said Jacobson had made believers out of them. One Democratic senator called Martinez’s choice of Jacobson “inspired,” while another commended the governor for thinking “outside the box” in tapping her.

Sen. William Soules,

D-Las Cruces, said he was initially concerned about her appointment but has found Jacobson “incredibly open” in her first few months on the job.

“I have changed my mind,” he said. “Hopefully over the years, the department will get the attention it deserves.”

Senators urged Jacobson to fight for funding and support her employees.

The agency has been hampered in recent years by staffing shortages, an overwhelming caseload and a series of high-profile abuse cases that have drawn criticism.

“Real Estate Corner” “OFFERS AND COUNTEROFFERS”

by Connie DeNioof Roswell 622-7191 or 626-7948 An attempt by the seller of property to change the terms of a proposal signed by the buyer is called a counteroffer.

The introduction of a counteroffer in the deal making process means the buyer’s original offer has been rejected.

The buyer then can accept the seller’s counteroffer or, in turn, reject it and make another counteroffer.

An offer or counteroffer may be withdrawn at any time before acceptance, even if there is a set period of time to keep the offer open.

Also, an offer, or counteroffer, is not considered accepted until the party making the proposal, or their agent, has been notified of the other party’s acceptance.

on his bills and was waiting on his federal income tax return, so he called Glinis, who said she had filed his taxes.

Police said Glinis in March 2014 gave the man a fraudulent check for $922 and said she wanted $500 of the funds. Shortly after Glinis deposited the check into the man’s bank account, the man said his bank called him and told him his bank account had been frozen because of the bad check from a fake cattle company. The bank said the victim had to repay the $922, police said.

In another Roswell case in May 2014, police said Glinis fraudulently used a woman’s identity to place a $3,500 down payment on a $13,900 truck from a Roswell auto dealership. Glinis used the victim’s driver’s license, Social Security card, proof of income, bank account information and tax documents on a credit application, contract and insurance documents with the auto dealership, police said. Glinis was charged with forgery and fraud in that case.

In addition, Glinis was charged in October 2014 with four counts of unlawful issuing of worthless checks, 16 counts of forgery, one count of altered, forged fictitious license and one count of fraud for a series of criminal fraud incidents.

In a bizarre case, state police said Glinis attempted to trick a state trooper into believing she was part of a drug investigation.

State police said Glinis was asked for identification during a May 2014 traffic stop.

“The front passenger gave Officer (Hector) Vasquez the wrong information in an attempt to conceal her identity,” state police agent Jose Gaytan wrote in a criminal complaint. “Ms. Glinis attempted to convince Officer Vasquez she was working with the Roswell task force and was on her way to get drugs.”

State police said Glinis said she had a meth pipe inside the vehicle.

State police said a search of Glinis’ purse revealed a signed counterfeit check, and a search of the vehicle’s glove compartment revealed five other coun-

terfeit checks, all in the amount of $643.22.

“Officer Vasquez asked Ms. Glinis about the six checks he found,” Gaytan wrote in the criminal complaint. “Ms. Glinis advised Officer Vasquez the people that lived in her house were making them and were going to cash them.”

After her arrest, state police said Glinis stated a man working for drug cartels was counterfeiting checks.

“Ms. Glinis stated she was taking the checks to a person that lived near Cottonwood, N.M.,” Gaytan wrote in the criminal complaint. “They were meant to serve as samples to see if this person would like them for purchase and exchange for drugs.

“She advised she has made counterfeit checks and money before. But she denied making the checks found in (the) vehicle. She stated there was a whole ring of people that do counterfeiting and she was part of it.”

In a follow-up interview with state police, Glinis stated she had counterfeited two different driver licenses found in her possession.

“Ms. Glinis stated a group of people she works with counterfeit fake IDs using a MVD template,” Gaytan wrote. “Ms. Glinis stated she counterfeited one of the ID cards with her correct information using a computer that she borrowed and it was done in her home.”

Glinis admitted making numerous fake IDs and fake checks in exchange for drugs, police said.

“Ms. Glinis did admit she knowingly has cashed bad checks,” Gaytan wrote.

“Ms. Glinis did admit at least three times back in November she knowingly deposited bad checks into her bank account for money gain. Ms. Glinis also stated she knowingly deposited counterfeit checks into her account to defraud the bank of funds.

Ms. Glinis stated she did the counterfeiting and in return she would get drugs from (a drug dealer).”

State police charged Glinis with two counts of altered, forged or fictitious license and two counts of forgery.

2 stores, 2 bars fined over fatal car crashes SANTA FE (AP) — Two bars and two convenience stores in New Mexico have been fined and had their liquor licenses suspended for either eight days or two weeks.

The New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department’s Alcohol and Gaming Division announced the penalties Monday against a Stripes store in Hobbs, a Circle K store in Tucumcari, the Topless Country bar in Moriarty and the Ojos Locos Sports Cantina

in Albuquerque.

They say the four establishments sold or served alcohol to intoxicated customers who later became involved in drunken driving incidents that resulted in four deaths between September 2012 and September 2014.

Authorities say the Stripes store and the Ojos Locos Sports Cantina have been fined $12,000 apiece while the Topless Country bar and the Circle K store both were fined $10,000.

Access to public records varies around NM ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — In one of the poorest states in the nation, access to public records in New Mexico varies by county and town, and training among officials in charge of disseminating records is inconsistent, according to a review by The Associated Press.

And for the most part, records aren’t available online.

Court documents, police reports and other material can only be obtained in person in many New Mexico counties and officials charge by the page. In addition, sometimes they will send them by mail only.

Susan Boe, executive

director of the New Mexico Foundation of Open Government, said that inconsistency makes it hard for reporters to do their jobs but also hampers transparency.

“We’d really like to see public bodies put as much information as possible out there,” Boe said. “Information should be downloadable, searchable and sortable.”

According to the state’s Inspection of Public Records Act, agencies are required to give the public access to virtually all public records with a few exceptions. Each state agency and local governmental entities have designated records custodians to

whom requests should be addressed.

Jack LeVick, executive director of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association, said many agencies don’t want to keep information from the public but struggle with a lack of funding to make records available online.

Sheriffs’ offices also face deputy and employee shortages due to slim budgets. “We need help,” LeVick said.

Since his term began in January, Attorney General Hector Balderas has given a number of speeches about the need for agencies to be transparent with records. He told a group at the New Mexico Broadcasters Association that he

will ask agencies to train employees on the Inspection of Public Records Act. “New Mexico must do a better job of investing real resources to train government employees to better provide information to the public,” Balderas said.

The New Mexico Supreme Court clarified last week what penalties apply when a government agency or official wrongfully withholds public records. The ruling said state law allows only actual damages, and not punitive or statutory damages, to be awarded to people who can prove that a records request was unlawfully denied.

Vacancy

representation as lawmakers vote on the budget and other key issues.

Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell called the decision not to submit names a political move by Democrats.

“As has been the tone of the entire legislative session to this point, partisan Democrats who are incapable of working together would prefer to obstruct

and delay,” Knell said in a statement.

The Lincoln and Torrance county commissions met Sunday to select a candidate. Lincoln County Commissioner Thomas Stewart received a nomination, as did Ted Barela of Torrance County. Both are Republicans.

Some open-government advocates expressed concern that the governor

might choose a candidate from just the two nominees, but Knell said she wouldn’t do that.

Griego’s resignation made for an abrupt end to a long career in New Mexico politics. He was first elected to the Senate in 1996.

Whom ever is appointed will likely serve out the remainder of his term, which expires at the end of 2016.

World and National Briefs A documentary prompts a murder charge

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Robert Durst, a troubled millionaire from one of America’s richest families, agreed Monday to face trial for murder in the Los Angeles shooting 15 years ago of a woman who some believe knew too much about the disappearance of his wife in 1982.

Monday’s extradition hearing came only hours after Sunday’s finale of a six-part HBO documentary detailing Durst’s life of privilege and links to three deaths: his friend in Los Angeles, Susan Berman; his wife in New York, Kathleen Durst; and Morris Black, an elderly neighbor in Texas.

Durst is heard muttering that he “killed them all, of course,” at the end of “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.”

His trip to California trip may be delayed by new charges in Louisiana, one of his lawyers said. A police report said the heir to a New York real estate fortune was carrying a revolver when FBI agents arrested him without incident at a New Orleans hotel before the final episode. It wasn’t immediately clear if Durst had the required gun permit. Christopher Bowman, a spokesman for the Orleans Parish district attorney’s office, declined to comment.

Durst shuffled into a courtroom with his hands shackled at his waist, wearing sandals and an orange jumpsuit, and appeared to fall asleep before Magistrate Harry Cantrell struck his gavel down. Then he answered “yes” to questions about waiving extradition. The judge also agreed that Durst could get pain medication meanwhile; defense attorney Dick DeGuerin said Durst had undergone “neurosurgery.”

GOP weighs increase in war funds to skirt Pentagon limits

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are considering adding tens of billions of dollars to President Barack Obama’s request for overseas military operations in an effort to get around tight limits on Pentagon spending. The move comes as Republicans are set to unveil their latest budget plan.

Obama requested $51 billion for Pentagon operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, but GOP aides said Monday party leaders are

weighing figures above $90 billion — enough to surpass Obama’s proposal to spend $38 billion above the limits for the budget year beginning in October.

GOP defense hawks have promised not to support any budget that doesn’t at least match Obama’s $561 billion request for defense, but a 2011 budget “sequestration” law imposes a $523 billion limit on the defense budget — an automatic cut of $54 billion below previously agreed levels.

War spending, however, is outside the limits and offers an easy way around the automatic cuts imposed after the failure of lawmakers to replace sequestration with alternative deficit-cutting moves.

The exact figure has yet to be determined and was still the subject of debate among top House Republicans on Monday.

Shooting suspect said law enforcement was not target

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — A man charged in the shooting of two police officers during a demonstration in Ferguson told investigators he was not targeting law enforcement and had been aiming for someone with whom he was in dispute.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said he believed the 20-year-old suspect attended last week’s protest before the shooting happened. Activists said Williams was not a consistent fixture in their tight-knit group.

“We’re not sure we completely buy that part of it,” McCulloch said of Williams’ contention that he did not fire at the officers.

Williams is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action. He made a brief court appearance Monday, and the case was scheduled for a later date. Court officials said he did not yet have an attorney.

McCulloch said there may have been other people in the vehicle with Williams and that the investigation is ongoing.

In campaign act, Netanyahu rules out Palestinian state if he returns as prime minister

JERUSALEM (AP) — In a frenzied

last day of campaigning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state and vowed to keep building east Jerusalem settlements as he appealed to hard-line voters on the eve of Israel’s closely contested general election.

The moderate opposition, meanwhile, announced a dramatic last-minute machination of its own, removing one of its two joint candidates for prime minister.

Netanyahu, who has governed for the past six years and has long been the most dominant personality in Israeli politics, has watched his standing plummet in recent weeks.

Recent opinion polls show his Likud Party lagging behind Isaac Herzog’s Zionist Union. Herzog, who has vowed to revive peace efforts with the Palestinians, repair ties with the U.S. and reduce the growing gaps between rich and poor, confidently predicted an “upheaval” was imminent.

Late Monday night, it was announced that Herzog’s main partner, former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, had given up an agreement to rotate the prime minister post with him if their alliance wins. It was widely thought that the unusual arrangement was driving away voters.

Official: Iran confronts US at nuclear talks over GOP letter saying any deal may not last

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Iranian diplomats twice confronted their American counterparts about an open letter from Republican senators who warned that any nuclear deal could expire the day President Barack Obama leaves office, U.S. officials said Monday.

The officials, noting the administration’s warnings when the letter first surfaced, said the GOP intervention was a new issue in the tense negotiations facing an end-of-month deadline for a framework agreement.

The letter came up in nuclear talks Sunday between senior U.S. and Iranian negotiators, the officials said, and the Iranians raised it again in discussions Monday led by Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Economic developers need vision, new energy “Economic development” gets much conversation in the policy realm. Occasions range from chamber of commerce meetings to political campaigns and legislative hearings.

But what, really, is all that conversation about? The perspective here comes from years of hanging out with economic developers and listening to the economic policy conversations.

To do economic development is to meddle with an economy, be it a community, a county or region or even a state. Those of us tilting against meddling on the grounds that freedom, choice and competition provide better results are correct, but perhaps irrelevant.

Conservatives meddle. The example, as I write, comes from all but one of the potential Republican presidential candidates swearing fealty to the ethanol industry in Iowa. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz provided the exception.

Harold Morgan New Mexico Progress When properly and narrowly defined, the idea of economic development is to add organizations to what is called the “basic” economy of the area. The organization can be private or public.

Only when there appears the possibility of a government organization adding itself to a community is the acceptability of a government organization admitted.

The work done by organizations in the basic economy is paid for by money coming to the organization from outside the community, region or state. (Note that states

don’t really count because they are too big to make much difference.) The work of a national laboratory is paid for by money from outside the community. So is the work of the Border Patrol.

The further theory is that people working for the basic economy firms will generate support jobs in, say, grocery stores, gas stations, cell phone stores and dry cleaners.

The number of support jobs is debated. Certainly the number has something to do with pay levels at the basic industry company. A call center pays less than a copper mine, as Silver City found a dozen years ago.

Economic development, narrowly construed, has problems of delusion and relevance. The delusion is that a new company will solve all of a community’s problems. This line is repeated at development meetings: “Well, if we just bring in a company. …”

Relevance and delusion mixed years ago when a governor (I don’t remember which one) said that General Motors was not going to put an automobile plant in Ruidoso.

An initial conclusion about the relevance of doing economic development stems from a quick look at the needs of a company new to an area, starting with people to work at the company.

Small towns have small pools of potential labor. In New Mexico our non-physicist labor pool is even small because the percentage of New Mexicans interested in working is among the smallest in the nation. (The term of art is “labor force participation.”) Other factors include roads and broadband.

Without these critical infrastructure elements, economic development — the finding of companies — is hardly worth it.

The professionals who do eco-

nomic development are ultimate optimists. No one has to come to their community. Also, there has to be something to sell.

New Mexico’s arts seem to be one of our few distinctive advantages. An economist who studies the state thinks our niche might be somewhere in the nexus of arts, culture and technology. But we seem to be missing the piece that turns these things into businesses. Apple Computer is technology and design/art, but it hums because there is a strong business underpinning.

These days more than a few of our long time economic development-related people find themselves somewhere amon g worn out, discouraged or frustrated, and ready to step back. The hope, then, is for a next generation (but from where?) with new insights and energy. The imperative of our poor economy will give them an audience with leaders.

Editorial

The Fed doesn’t want to be audited Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., seems to have really struck a nerve with his “Audit the Fed” bill, S. 264. The Federal Reserve Transparency Act would require the central bank to be audited by the Government Accountability Office.

The House passed Audit the Fed with broad bipartisan support in 2012 and 2014, but the proposal was stymied both times when Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., then the Senate majority leader, refused to bring it up for a vote.

Now that Republicans have gained control of both chambers of Congress, the bill’s odds of passing have improved (it currently has 32 Senate co-sponsors), and that has officials within the Federal Reserve and the Obama administration very nervous.

Sen. Paul’s transparency measure is “dangerous,” according to Jason Furman, chairman of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers. Not to be outdone, Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher tossed out a red herring in an interview with The Hill. “Who in their right mind would ask the Congress of the United States — who can’t cobble together a fiscal policy — to assume control of monetary policy?”

His point about the ineptness of Congress is well-taken, but Audit the Fed does not, in any way, call on Congress to “assume control of monetary policy,” any more than an audit of a private company’s books constitutes an accounting firm assuming control of the company’s business policies.

That argument also diverts from the Fed’s own poor record, which has seen the dollar lose 96 percent of its value during the Fed’s 102 years of oversight, not to mention that Americans have had less price stability than before the Fed’s creation and since have endured the most severe, longest-lasting economic depressions in our nation’s history.

“Some say the Fed is already audited,” Sen. Paul noted in a Breitbart column last month. “Well, when the auditor came to Congress, she was asked the identity of the debt bought by the Fed. She didn’t know. When pressed on the case, she responded, ‘We do not have the jurisdiction to directly go and audit reserve bank activities.’”

This is precisely why a comprehensive audit is needed. That Fed and government officials would be shocked that people would have the temerity to demand to know how an unelected cabal of large banking interests makes trillions of dollars materialize out of thin air — and to whom and for what purposes that money is given — shows disdain for the taxpaying public and, perhaps, fear of what they might find out.

WIPP is no longer a pilot project

Whether your world had a biblical beginning or from some far, far away place in another galaxy, there had to be that very first atom that started it all. I don’t have an answer for that any more than I can determine if an atom is male or female.

But here’s what I do know. In nuclear physics, decay product is the remaining nuclide left over from radioactive decay and is known as a daughter product, daughter isotope or daughter nuclide. Decay products are important in understanding radioactive decay and the management of radioactive waste.

This brings us to the topic of today’s article: Nuclear Waste and the Reopening of the Waste Isolation Pilot Project — WIPP. First, I would like to state that WIPP is no longer a pilot project but a full-functioning nuclear waste facility. For the past 15 years,

Martin Kral Guest Columnist the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) WIPP facility has safely disposed of the nation’s defense-related transuranic (TRW) radioactive waste. During that time, 22 DOE generator sites of legacy TRW waste have been cleaned up. From these sites, TRW waste consists of radioactive contaminated clothing, tools, etc. It is disposed of in underground waste disposal rooms carved out of a 250 million-yearold salt formation 2,159 feet below the surface.

WIPP began operations in March 1999, 26 miles southeast of Carlsbad. WIPP is the only federal repository for

the nation’s TRU waste and employs more than 1,000 people, which includes employees supporting waste characterization and packaging activities at the generator sites, places like Los Alamos (LANL) or Oak Ridge (ORNL).

The first site that was completely cleaned up was just up the road at Rocky Flats, Colorado, an area that used to be a plutonium nuclear warhead factory and has been completely turned over to a nature preserve, flourishing with tall prairie grasses and lots of critters.

This cleanup would never have happened if there was no WIPP. Then on Feb. 14, 2014, the unexpected happened.

One of the recent waste barrels shipped down from LANL developed a chemical combustion and popped its lid releasing two potentially dangerous radionuclide; plutonium-239 and

americium-241. I say minor because the radiation level that was released into the atmosphere was less than any of the area hospitals with CT scanners.

AM-241 is used commercially in many different sensing devices like smoke detectors, medical diagnostic equipment and also for other nondestructive testing of machinery and gauges for measuring the thickness of glass and other products.

The radiation released was from the clothing and tools stored in the barrels that were used to handle PU-239, AM-241 and other radionuclide in the nuclear warhead-production plants.

However, on Feb. 15, 2014, the day after, you would have thought the world was doomed or at least New Mexico was devastated with a large plume See KRAL, Page A5

Treat stress fractures quickly to prevent further damage DEAR DOCTOR K: What is a stress fracture?

DEAR READER: A patient of mine once asked me the same question, but with a twist: “In the emergency room they said I had a stress fracture. That’s ridiculous, right?

I mean, they’re blaming stress for causing nearly every symptom these days. But how can stress cause a bone to break?”

It’s not emotional or mental “stress” that the word refers to in a stress fracture.

It is stress — unusual physical pressure — placed on a bone that causes it to break.

And the break typically does not separate the two ends of the bone. The X-ray, CT scan or MRI scan often shows no abnormality in the shape of the bone. Instead, there is a hairline crack inside the bone.

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate In young people, stress fractures can result from overexertion or prolonged high-impact exercise, such as running or tennis. But they also occur in middle-aged or elderly people, especially women, with thinning bones. These people may develop stress fractures even as a result of normal daily activities, such as walking.

In the feet, stress fractures

most often occur in the metatarsal bones, the long bones leading to the toes. But they can also occur in other parts of the body.

All fractures, including stress fractures, require immediate attention. An untreated fracture might not heal properly and could result in deformity, persistent pain or both.

One warning sign of a stress fracture is difficulty walking.

Don’t be fooled, however. It’s sometimes possible to walk on a broken foot. Check to see whether you have any pain or tenderness directly over the bone when you touch it lightly. Such focal pain may indicate a fracture, especially if it continues after you’ve rested briefly and followed the RICE (rest, ice, compression, eleva-

tion) regimen.

Other symptoms of a stress fracture include bruising and possible redness and swelling.

Whatever you do, don’t continue exercising if you have localized pain over a bone.

You might break it completely.

If you suspect that you have a stress fracture, see your doctor. He or she may start by ordering an X-ray. However, it can take two weeks for evidence of a stress fracture to appear on an X-ray, and some stress fractures never show up on one. Your doctor may have to diagnose the condition by feeling the area or ordering other imaging tests such as a bone scan or an MRI. If you do have a stress fracture, your doctor will probably See DR.

Practice for driver’s written test at library

By Loretta Clark Roswell Public Library

Learning to drive is an important milestone, whether as a teen or an older person. Passing a driver’s license test is a necessity before receiving a valid driver’s license. Practice tests are now available through the Roswell Public Library’s partnership with Driving-Tests.org, a company dedicated to driver safety and education. The service includes free tests, specifically written based on the Department of Motor Vehicles materials.

The tests are useful to teens, those with disabilities, and seniors who need to take a renewal exam. The site includes 10 practice tests for automobiles, six tests for motorcycles and three CLD practice tests. In addition, there are handbooks for each of the three testing areas. The tests are available in both English and Spanish. To take the practice tests, go to the library’s website at roswellpubliclibrary.org.

The library strives to be a gateway to information and a personal library card is the key to the library’s resources and services. In addition to books, a variety of specialized databases are provided online through the library’s website.

Amanda Davis, reference librarian, shares books as a gateway to information about the making of movies. She highlights “The Princess Bride,” “Star Wars” and “The Hobbit.”

Cary Elwes who played Westley, better known as the Dread Pirate Roberts, brings a first-person account into the making of the “The Princess Bride” movie. He discloses behindthe-scenes observations in “As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride.” Elwes recounts his saga with sincere fondness and affection.

What will be hidden from the visitors is the fact that track and field athletes from Roswell do not have any suitable tracks they can access for training. The Wool Bowl, owned by the city and leased to the school district, is closed to individual athletes. The other suitable track is located at Roswell High School.

Although it has been open to the public in the past it is now locked during March, April and May. The Senior Olympic track events will be held in June this year.

Daniel Falconer’s “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Chronicles: Art & Design” focuses on the film’s artistry and the book may be enjoyed on just a purely visual level. There are more than 240 pages of spectacular four-color visuals, including hundreds of images of concept artwork, photographs, development paintings, and more created by the artists and designers working behind the scenes.

Movie photography and finished imagery accompany the sketches and drawings, showing how the artists’ visions were realized from design to final product. The text is written by Weta Workshop employees, the ones who actually worked on the film, so the descriptions of certain design choices are coming from the artists themselves.

Flawed data say 6.5M in US reach age 112 WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are getting older, but not this old: Social Security records show that 6.5 million people in the U.S. have reached the ripe old age of 112.

In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world.

But Social Security does not have death records for millions of these people, with the oldest born in 1869, according to a report by the agency’s inspector general.

Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits, the report said.

But for others, their Social Security numbers are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds.

“That is a real problem,” said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. “When you have a fake Social Security number, that’s what allows you to fraudulently do all kinds things, claim things like the earned income tax credit or other tax benefits.”

For any fan of this film or just readers who want to hear a tale of the coming together of a special movie, this is one book you will want to check out. “The Princess Bride” is available to be checked out as a book, an e-Book and on DVD. Veteran journalist Chris Taylor traces the “Star Wars” series from the difficult birth of the original film through its sequels, the franchise’s death and rebirth, the prequels, and the preparations for a new trilogy in “How Star Wars Conquered the Universe: The Past, Present and Future of a Multibillion Dollar Franchise.” The films should need no explanation, so rest assured, the book delves deeper into how the movies were created; taking detours into fan-based enterprises like people who had a club building R2D2s that then ended up working on the films themselves.

He goes into the personal details of George Lucas and how his life altered certain aspects of the franchise, as well as a critical analysis of how the films have affected people on a personal level. The library has dozens of books for children and adults by a multitude of authors based on the “Star Wars” characters and scenarios.

and Governmental Affairs, which plans a hearing Monday on problems with death records maintained by the Social Security Administration.

Johnson said he is working on legislation to make it easier for Social Security to use information from states to maintain more accurate death records.

“There’s got to be a legislative solution here, and that’s the thing that we’re going to try and determine,” Johnson said. “The best death statistics really come from states, the vital statistics agencies.”

The agency said it is working to improve the accuracy of its death records. But it would be costly and time-consuming to update 6.5 million files that were generated decades ago, when the agency used paper records, said Sean Brune, a senior adviser to the agency’s deputy commissioner for budget, finance, quality and management.

“The records in this review are extremely old, decades-old, and unreliable,” Brune said.

The internal watchdog’s report does not document any fraudulent or improper payments to people using these Social Security numbers. But it raises red flags that it could be happening.

For example, nearly 67,000 of the Social Security numbers were used to report more than $3 billion in wages, tips and self-employment income from 2006 to 2011, according to the report. One Social Security number was used 613 different times. An additional 194 numbers were used at least 50 times each.

People in the country illegally often use fake or stolen Social Security numbers to get jobs and report wages, as do other people who do not want to be found by the government.

Thieves use stolen Social Security numbers to claim fraudulent tax refunds.

The IRS estimated it paid out $5.8 billion in fraudulent tax refunds in 2013 because of identity theft.

The head of the Justice Department’s tax division described how it’s done at a recent congressional hearing.

“The plan is frighteningly simple — steal Social Security numbers, file tax returns showing a false refund claim, and then have the refunds electronically deposited or sent to an address where the offender can access the refund checks,” said acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline Ciraolo.

In some cases, she said, false tax returns are filed using Social Security numbers of deceased taxpayers or others who are not required to file.

The Social Security Administration generates a list of dead people to help public agencies and private companies know when Social Security numbers are no longer valid for use.

The list is called the Death Master File, which includes the name, Social Security number, date of birth and date of death for people who have died.

The list is widely used by employers, financial firms, credit reporting agencies and security firms. Federal agencies and state and local governments rely on it to police benefit payments.

But none of the 6.5 million people cited by the inspector general’s report was on the list. The audit analyzed records as of 2013, looking for people with birth dates before 1901.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935, and the first old-age monthly benefit check was paid in 1940.

Many of the people cited in the inspector general’s report never received benefits, though they were assigned Social Security numbers so spouses and children could receive them, presumably after they died.

The agency says it has corrected death information in more than 200,000 records. But fixing the entire list would be costly and time-consuming because Social Security needs proof that a person is dead to add him to the death list, said Brune, the agency official.

Brune noted that the inspector general’s report did not verify that any of the 6.5 million people are actually dead. Instead, the report assumed they are dead because of their advanced age.

“We can’t post information to our records based on presumption,” Brune said.

“We post information to our records based on evidence, and in this case it would be evidence of a death certificate.”

“Some of those records may not even exist,” Brune added.

Nearly all the Social Security numbers are from paper records generated before the agency started using electronic records in 1972, Brune said. Many of the records contain errors, with multiple birthdates and bits of information about different family members.

“We did transcribe paper records into the electronic system and over time that information’s been purified,” Brune said.

“But our focus right now is to make sure our data is as accurate and complete as it can be for our current program purpose,” said Brune. “Right now, we’re focused on making sure we’re paying beneficiaries properly, and that’s how we’re investing our resources at this time.”

Anna Mary (Lattion) Derrick was born on May 24, 1921, in Hagerman, New Mexico, to Frank E. Lattion and Rosalie Darioly. Her father’s family moved to New Mexico from Switzerland in about 1894. Frank returned to Switzerland with his mother in 1913 where he married Rosalie.

They traveled by the Queen Mary to the United States and set up housekeeping under the Caprock and began their family in the first house in the area with indoor plumbing. The Lattion children were, in order, Micheline (Mickey), Raymond, Eda (Edith), Francis (Frankie), Anna Mary, Gladys and Rose. Their mother passed away during the difficult birth of their eighth child, Geraldine Rosalie, who soon passed away as well as an infant.

Some in the Middle East saw Kerry’s statement as a shift in America’s policy on Syria after President Barack Obama’s repeated calls for Assad to step down. Damascus has long accused Washington and its allies of militarizing Syria’s conflict.

Last year, the U.S. joined talks in Switzerland with Assad’s foreign minister and members of the U.S.backed moderate Syrian opposition, but those talks failed when Assad’s representatives refused to discuss how to create a transition government.

Asked about Kerry’s statement regarding potential talks with the Syrian government, the French Foreign Ministry said Paris’ position opposing talks with Assad remained unchanged.

The foreign minister of Turkey, another U.S. ally, also reacted sharply to Kerry’s comments, and reiterated Ankara’s position that Assad must go.

“What can you negotiate with a regime that has killed more than 200,000 people and used chemical weapons,” Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a visit Monday to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. “What result have you achieved from past negotiations?”

The main Western-backed opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said in a statement Monday that “bringing down the head of the regime and all officials responsible for crimes against the Syrian people are a main goal of the coalition.”

Assad said that international overtures are positive “if they are sincere.”

He added that such a move should start with “ceasing political support to terrorists, stop financing them and stop sending weapons.”

He said that pressure should be exerted on European countries and regional states who give “logistical, financial and military support to terrorists and then we can say that the change has become real.”

Also Monday, Syria’s Minister of National Reconciliation, Ali Haidar said the Americans “are searching behind the scene” for

statewide election. The measure is expected to add about 300,000 new voters to the rolls.

“It just changes expectations for who’s responsible for making elections work,” said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and director of the Elections Research Center. “In every other state it’s the responsibility for the voters to make sure it happens.”

Some other states have considered such legislation but none has gone as far as Oregon.

Minnesota nearly implemented automatic voter registration in 2009 before the plan was vetoed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who

said “registering to vote should be a voluntary, intentional act.”

Similar concerns were raised by Oregon’s minority Republicans.

“Simply because it makes us unique or makes us first does not necessarily mean that it actually improves on what we’re doing,” said state Sen. Jackie Winters, a Republican from Salem.

Oregon Republicans also voiced worry about potential voter fraud, the cost of implementing the measure, and whether the DMV can ensure personal information remains secure.

Information the DMV has on file, such as age, residential information, signature and citizenship status, will be transferred to the

secretary of state, who will then automatically update registration information.

When it came up for a vote in the state Senate last week, all Republicans and one Democrat voted against it. The Democrats hold a 18-12 advantage in the Senate so the bill easily passed.

State Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, a Portland Democrat who carried the bill in the Senate, said there were rumblings the measure was a “secret plot” to enroll more Democrats.

But she denied that was true.

Oregon already has one of the highest voter registration rates in the nation — 73 percent of Oregonians were registered to vote and

Syria’s Assad dismissive of Kerry remark on negotiations

By Albert Aji Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian President Bashar Assad said Monday that only Syrians can decide his future — apparently dismissing U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s remark that Washington would be willing to talk with Assad to help broker a political resolution to the country’s civil war.

Asked about Kerry’s statement regarding potential talks with the Syrian government, Assad said, “We are still hearing statements and have to wait for actions. Then we will decide.” He added that any “talk about the future of the Syrian president is for Syrian people alone.”

Assad said Damascus is not concerned about comments made from abroad, describing them as “bubbles that disappear after some time.”

The Syrian leader spoke to Iranian TV after a meeting with visiting Iranian Economy Minister Ali Tayebnia. Tehran is one of Assad’s closest allies and strongest backers in his battle against rebels trying to remove him from power.

Oregon is first state to adopt automatic voter registration

By Sheila V. Kumar Associated Press

SALEM, Ore. — Seventeen years after Oregon decided to become the first state to hold all elections with mail-in ballots, it took another pioneering step on Monday to broaden participation by automatically registering people to vote.

Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill that puts the burden of registration on the state instead of voters.

Under the legislation, every adult citizen in Oregon who has interacted with the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division since 2013 but hasn’t registered to vote will receive a ballot in the mail at least 20 days before the next

70 percent of them cast ballots during the 2014 general election.

Tony Green, spokesman for the secretary of state, said the legislation is expected to eventually capture all unregistered voters who are in the DMV database after taking actions such as obtaining or renewing a driver’s license.

People eligible to vote will get a postcard saying they’ve been registered and have three weeks to opt out. They’ll be automatically registered as unaffiliated but can select a political party from the postcard and return it to election officials through the mail.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Any doubt that Rand Paul is charting his own course toward a Republican presidential run was surely put to rest at a rooftop party where people in their 20s and 30s nursed drinks from an open bar as one of America’s hippest music festivals ramped up all around them.

“You can be liberal, you can be conservative, you can be an evangelical Christian or a pot-smoking Austinite and still believe in freedom and that the government ought to leave you alone,” proclaimed a sunglass-wearing Paul, drawing approving whoops from the libertarian-leaning crowd. That’s some big tent, and not one you’ll find many conservative Republicans under.

While most of the rest of his potential 2016 Republica n riva ls sp en t la st weekend packed into New Hampshire, Paul spoke at a historically black college in Maryland before hitting South by Southwest — a trendy mix of concerts, movie premieres and the latest must-have technology.

To be sure, the Kentucky senator has been among the most active GOP presidential prospects in the early primary voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina over the last year. He’s not ignoring conventional primary politicking. But he’s clearly out front in courting people he says his party has ignored.

Whether that pays off remains to be seen.

From his Sunday afternoon party with “liberty movement” aficionados, Paul appeared at a festival event examining how technology is reshaping politics, participated in a Twitter town hall and on Monday

opened an Austin office devoted to using technology and data-driven analytics to help him zero in on supporters.

Paul said his South by Southwest stint was more about wooing tech-savvy campaign staffers and supporters than rewriting the campaign playbook.

“It’s not like we’re avoiding New Hampshire or Iowa,” he said in an interview, “but we’re also showing that we are a little different than some of the other candidates in the sense that we recognize how important tech is and how important it’s going to be.”

Before Texas, though, he addressed criminal justice issues at Maryland’s Bowie State University, one of America’s oldest historically black colleges, another step outside the norm for many Republicans.

Paul has long had a penchant for turning up at places where the GOP often doesn’t venture. He spoke on Berkeley’s campus, visited Ferguson, Missouri, after the police shooting death of an unarmed black man, and has made Hispanic outreach a cornerstone of his political identity.

“Anyone can go to a traditional Republican enclave — anybody can go to a diner — but not everybody can show up everywhere,” said Sergio Gor, Paul’s spokesman.

Paul relishes reaching out to young and minority voters. He argues that his condemnation of U.S. drone strikes and government surveillance strikes chords across the usual lines.

But he won’t admit to trying to be hipper than the rest of the would-be Republican 2016 field. “I don’t know what that means,” Paul said with a grin.

Rick Perry and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. The Texas senator also visited South Carolina, another big primary state.

By contrast, Boaz said, “Paul’s at Berkley, South by Southwest, talking about drones and the NSA, all of these things that have a chance of helping him break out among younger voters.”

But it’s questionable that the GOP base can be written off as obsolete. Paul’s father, Ron Paul, a longtime Texas congressman and repeat presidential contender, was a libertarian hero who inspired nontraditional GOP voters, too, but never reached deep into the Republican mainstream.

He shrugged off concerns that winning over one segment of voters could disillusion another, however.

“I’ve not had one conservative come up to me and say, ‘You need to stop defending the rights of

poor people who live in the Bronx,’” Paul said. “Most people come up to me and say they are proud of the fact that I’m trying to reach out and attract new voters.”

“He’s not afraid to go into any community and try to find common ground,” Steinhauser said. “People respect that.”

Crandall dominates; Lady Demons open season with win

By Paul Lessard Record Correspondent

DEXTER — The Dexter Lady Demons varsity softball team began its 2015 season on a positive note with a 5-1 victory over visiting Class 4A Ruidoso Monday night. The team got a monster performance from freshman Kali Crandall who struck out 15, walked none and scattered only three singles, which all came in one inning.

“It was a win,” said Dexter coach Kim Hamill, who expected more from her young squad. “I really didn’t like how we played.

I thought our intensity was really low — I thought we were just going through the motions. We have a lot to

work on. It’s a learning process and we’ll just work at it again tomorrow.”

The Lady Demons, who are expected to contend for the district crown, enjoyed error-free ball while their counterparts had five costly miscues in the field, which was ultimately a factor in the outcome being as one-sided as it was.

The top of the first inning was a preview of what was to come, as the Warriors went three-up and three-down thanks to two strikeouts and a quick putout. It would be the first of six three-up, three-down innings for the visitors.

The Lady Demons took a while to get going at the plate as they stranded three in the first two

innings. Crandall struck out all three she faced in the top of the third and then the Demons finally broke through in their half of that inning.

Briana Munoz walked and Crandall singled to open the inning and then had to weather two quick outs. Kassandra Madrid reached on a fielder’s choice, which allowed Crandall to score on the ensuing throwing error.

Sandra Madrid, who had reached earlier on a fielder’s choice, scored from third on a wild pitch to make it 2-0, Dexter.

The Warriors’ only offensive production came in the top of the fourth as they scored their run on the strength of three singles

— the Warriors’ only hits on the evening. Crandall managed to get out of the inning with a K, and 4-3 putout, and a nice snag on a pop-up from her catcher, Sandra Madrid. It was also the only inning to see base runners from the Warriors.

The Lady Demons went up 4-1 in the bottom of the fourth as Dexter recorded a couple of hits to combine with a couple of errors from the Warriors’ side.

Yanelly Ronquillo got things rolling with a single to left field and then reached second on an error. Noemi Gonzales would follow with a single of her own, accompanied with yet another Warriors’ error. Both would eventually score on a groundout

and an error to make it 4-1.

The Lady Demons would tack on one more in the fifth after Gonzales got plunked to score Kassandra Madrid. The 5-1 score would stand, as Crandall would strikeout five of the final six batters she faced.

Coach Hamill said after the game she was particularly pleased with Crandall’s performance on the night, but that her young pitcher still has room to improve as well.

“She’s a quality pitcher,” Hamill said. “She’s a good pitcher, but we still have some things to work out.

She’s only been out of basketball for a week and she did well. I’m proud of her.”

The Lady Demons play Artesia’s JV squad in a

doubleheader today at 4 p.m. It is part of a brutal early schedule that sees the Demons open with seven games in their opening week of play.

Still, despite some potential early adversity, Coach Hamill expects a good season.

“Our district is the toughest in the state,” Hamill said. “I’m sure the three of us (Dexter, Loving, Jal) are all in the top five.

Loving has won 18 out of the last 20 state championships. We’re going to battle.

They’ve worked hard in the off-season and hopefully that hard work will pay off this year.”

Shockers could finally get shot Huskies, Irish, Gamecocks, at Kansas in NCAA Tourney Terps earn women’s No. 1 seeds

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall may finally get his wish.

Marshall has been trying for years to schedule a game against Kansas, the basketball powerhouse just a couple hours’ drive from the Shockers’ campus. The Jayhawks have balked, insisting they have nothing to gain from a series against the Missouri Valley school.

But if the seventh-seeded Shockers take care of Indiana, and the second-seeded Jayhawks beat New Mexico State, the schools will meet

in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

“You get ready to play Indiana,” Marshall said, when asked for his reaction to the road ahead. “If we’re fortunate enough to play in the third round, if it’s Kansas or New Mexico State, we get ready to play them.

We take it one round at a time.”

Kansas coach Bill Self follows the same approach.

But that doesn’t mean he was oblivious to the potential matchup when the bracket flashed on the screen Sunday night.

“How in the world they’re

a seven seed blows my mind,” he said, pointing to the Shockers’ 28-4 record and regular-season conference championship. “I thought the Missouri Valley, to be honest, deserved a little more credit than what they got. I thought they’d be a higher seed.”

Depending on how things shake out, the tantalizing matchup between Wichita State and Kansas isn’t the only possible third-round game sure to spark some interest next weekend.

Vegas view: Kentucky favored by at least 51/2 over any team LAS VEGAS (AP) — That Kentucky is good — make that very good — isn’t debatable among this city’s bookmakers, who make the Wildcats nearly even money to cap an unbeaten season by winning the NCAA Tournament.

Kentucky will be favored by double digits in any matchup heading into the Final Four, beginning with what is expected to be a laugher in Thursday’s opening round against the winner of the Manhattan-Hampton game. Even if the Wildcats end up in a Final Four with three other No. 1 seeds, they would still be favored by at least 51/2 points against any opponent.

Really good, yes. Dominant, too, in a year when the rest of the tournament field is considered to be down, if just a bit.

Still, the people who set the odds on tournament games don’t see the Wildcats as the best ever. Not even if they run the table and finish the season undefeated.

The Anthony Davis-led Kentucky team that lost two games and won the national title in 2012 would be favored by 31 / 2 points against this year’s team, according to a consensus of Vegas oddsmakers and bettors tabulated by RJ Bell of Pregame.com, a leading betting website. So, too, would the 1991 UNLV

team that went unbeaten before losing to Duke in the national semifinal game.

“Kentucky is not a historically great team,” Bell said.

“The reason it is such a big favorite this year is the relevant comparison to the competition. The competition is weak this year, none of these other teams are all that good.”

That’s not to say the bookies don’t like Kentucky’s chances to become the first men’s team to go undefeated and win a national title since Indiana turned the trick 39 years ago. They do, mostly because this team isn’t playing the 2012 Kentucky See KENTUCKY, Page B2

AP — ­ G ­ eno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies are ready to begin their quest for a third straight national championship.

The Huskies earned the first overall seedin the women’s NCAA Tournament and placed in the Albany Region. They are looking for their 10th overall title, which would tie Auriemma with UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for most all-time.

“This is why you coach,” Auriemma said of going for a third straight championship. “This is why you come to Connecticut if you are one of these players. Are we mature enough to handle it? We will find that out very soon.”

Though Connecticut is favored to three-peat, Auriemma said winning another title isn’t a guarantee.

“The fact that everybody thinks it’s a done deal, that we’re going to win the whole thing,” Auriemma said, “those are probably people who have never coached, or haven’t coached in a Final Four or have won a national championship.”

Joining the Huskies as top seeds in the 64-team tournament that begins Friday are Maryland, South Carolina and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame and UConn, former Big East rivals, met in the national championship game last season as undefeated teams with the Huskies coming away with the victory. The pair played earlier this season in South

Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler has torn elbow ligament

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler has a torn elbow ligament, a blow to a team hoping to compete for the playoffs following Matt Harvey’s return from Tommy John surgery.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Wheeler has a complete tear, all but guaranteeing the 24-year-old righthander will need elbow-replacement surgery and miss the 2015 season.

“I feel terrible for Zack, especially the way he finished last year,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

“For this to happen at this time, I’m sure he’s really down about it. But we’re going to have to move on.”

Wheeler had MRIs of his elbow in late September, January and Saturday, and Alderson said the first two did not show any ligament damage. The team did not restrict Wheeler’s throwing program during the first three weeks of spring training, even though there was concern about his elbow.

Until Monday, Mets officials said Wheeler’s latest MRI was only precautionary. Wheeler said he would have been able to throw

through the pain had it been the regular season.

“He says he could have pitched, so I’m not that concerned about it,” Collins said Sunday.

Alderson said the team was warned by doctors in January that Wheeler’s elbow “was a concern and was going to have to be managed” this season.

“It wasn’t clear that the ligament was involved at that time, but we understood that we were going to have to manage his medical condition over the course of this season,” Alderson said. “When he complained of the elbow pain, it wasn’t a surprise to us. What prompted the MRI on Saturday was, Zack had complained about the elbow in the past, but the area of pain had increased in size.”

Wheeler had his latest MRI on Saturday in Port St. Lucie. The scan was reviewed Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and he was with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. The Mets said Wheeler planned to travel this week to New York to confirm the diagnosis and discuss with team medical director Dr. David

Altchek on how to proceed.

The announcement came one day after the Mets said Josh Edgin, the team’s most-established left-handed reliever, will have elbow-ligament replacement surgery this week.

The only other left-handed relievers in camp are Sean Gilmartin and three pitchers with minor league contracts — Scott Rice, Dario Alvarez and Jack Leathersich.

Wheeler’s injury could end New York’s thoughts of trading Dillon Gee for a shortstop or offensive help. Harvey now heads a rotation that includes NL Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom, Jonathon Niese, Bartolo Colon and Gee. Collins said Gee would replace Wheeler in the rotation. Gee was the Mets’ opening-day starter last year but primarily had been working out

of the bullpen this spring training. Gee is scheduled to start Thursday against Houston.

“That’s why we have him,” Collins said of Gee. “He’ll be the guy. Dillon’s won a lot of games in the big leagues and he’s going to have to step up and fill some big shoes, but he can handle it.”

Wheeler was selected

by San Francisco with the sixth overall pick in the 2009 amateur draft and was traded to New York two years later in the deal that brought outfielder Carlos Beltran to the Giants. He has gone 18-16 since his big league debut in June 2013, exciting the Mets with a fastball that averaged 96 mph last season.

Wheeler made his only spring training appearance March 9, allowing six runs, two hits, two walks and two hit batters in 12/3 innings against Miami. He pitched a perfect first, then got in trouble in the second.

Wheeler is among the prized young pitchers the Mets have been trying to rebuild around as they try to end a streak of six straight losing seasons, one shy of the team record.

Harvey, who threw four scoreless innings against the Red Sox on Monday, said the team still can contend for a playoff spot without Wheeler.

“Whoever they put in, we’re going to be fine,” Harvey said. “Obviously it’s a big blow to us to have Zack down, but Dillon Gee has won a lot of games and can step in. ... I think we have enough experience and we can hold our own.”

Harvey, 25, established himself as a big league AllStar before being diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament in August 2013, an injury that caused him to miss last season.

Noah Syndergaard, a 22-year-old right-hander, could make his big league debut this year. He was drafted by Toronto with the 38th overall pick and acquired after the 2012 season in the trade that sent NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey to the Blue Jays.

Steve Fisher vs. Coach K:

If top-seeded Duke handles its opening game against the winner of North Florida-Robert Morris, and No. 8 seed San Diego State beats St. John’s, it would set up a rematch of the coaches involved in the 1992 national championship game.

Mike Krzyzewski is still in charge of the Blue Devils, and Steve Fisher is with the Aztecs after he coached Michigan in that title matchup. Duke won that game at the Metrodome, and the Wolverines later had to vacate their runner-up finish following a series of NCAA violations.

Fisher was fired as a result of the scandal. Two years later, he took over San Diego State, and has led the program to six consecutive NCAA Tournament

Kentucky team or the 1991 UNLV team in this tournament.

At the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, Kentucky is an 11-to-10 favorite to win the national title, or about as close to even money as you can get. Wisconsin and Duke are the second picks, but they are well back at 7-1 odds, followed by Villanova and Arizona at 8-1.

Kentucky’s dominance is further reflected by bettors being able to take every other team in the field against the Wildcats for the national title and have to put up only $130 to win $100.

“We don’t keep historical data too far back, but the only things we can think of at those kind of odds are when the (Chicago) Bulls had (Michael) Jordan and UNLV had its team in the ‘90s,” said Westgate oddsmaker Jeff Sherman. “You don’t see it this low very often.”

Even though Kentucky will be favored in every game, the so-called wise guys who make their living betting sports may jump in and bet against the Wildcats as the tournament goes on. That’s because the

Notre Dame vs.

Butler:

Sure, the Hoosiers are in the tournament, too. But all eyes in the Hoosier State would be on this matchup between the Fighting Irish, the ACC Tournament champions from South Bend, and the Bulldogs, who call Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis home.

Despite playing numerous times, the schools have never met in the NCAA Tournament.

Notre Dame would merely have to take care of Northeastern to reach the next round, but the Bulldogs face a taller task in Texas — and its imposing front line of Myles Turner, Cameron Ridley and Prince Ibeh. But hey, the Bulldogs have chopped down plenty giants this time of year.

“We really didn’t focus on what our seed was going to be,” said the Fighting Irish’s Jerian Grant. “It was

all about just seeing our name there, and especially last year not being there, we wanted to hear our name and we didn’t care who we matched up.”

Virginia vs. Michigan State:

Once again, the Cavaliers did enough in the regular season to earn a top-two seed. Once again, their road to the Final Four could include Michigan State.

The Spartans were a No. 4 seed when they knocked off top-seeded Virginia in the regional semifinals last season. This time, Michigan State is a No. 7 seed and will have to beat Georgia in its opening game for the chance to play the second-seeded Cavaliers.

Virginia would have to beat Belmont to set up the rematch.

Tips for NCAA Tournament field on ways to beat Kentucky AP — There’s a way to beat Kentucky.

Maybe.

So far, 34 game plans to defeat the Wildcats have been put together. Every one of them fell short.

There’s no shortage of theories on how to beat them — spread them out, pack the paint, shoot plenty of 3’s, attack the rim — which all sound good, but none have actually panned out for an entire game on the floor.

If someone’s going to actually throw the upset punch, now’s the time. No. 1 Kentucky (34-0) is the top overall seed going into the NCAA Tournament that begins this week, the favorite to win it all and become the first undefeated national champion in the men’s game since Indiana in 1976.

“Let me tell you, it’s a one-game shot,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said.

“Foul trouble, struggle, injury, have a bad game, someone else play out of their minds, which we have seen happen with us. ... It’s not best-of-five. It’s one and

done.”

True, if someone makes 10 3-pointers, or scores 40, or the Wildcats all go cold simultaneously, millions of brackets will likely go poof at the same time.

Two teams took the Wildcats to overtime and six others found a way to keep the final margin within 10 points. The Wildcats are perhaps the NCAA’s biggest favorite in years isn’t a fluke.

“They know how to win and they figure out how to win,” Missouri coach Kim Anderson said. “When they get behind they figure out how to get ahead, and obviously that’s good coaching, that’s good players, but it’s an attitude. I think that is the most impressive thing.”

So here’s three tips on how to beat them:

Limit the 3’s:

Excluding the two overtime games, all six of the other teams that stayed within 10 of Kentucky for 40 minutes held the Wildcats to an average of 3.5

3-pointers in those games.

That was, on average, about an eight-point savings over all other Kentucky games this season.

Get good shots:

Mississippi, Florida, LSU and Georgia all shot 47 percent or better in a game against Kentucky this season, losing those four games by an average of only five points. In Kentucky’s other 30 games, the average margin at games’ end was 23.1 points.

Attack:

In the eight “close” games, opponents shot 46 percent from 2-point range against Kentucky. In all other games, opponents shot 36.8 percent from inside the arc. And in the last three Wildcats’ games decided by 10 or fewer, teams shot a staggering 57.4 percent on 2’s.

Then again, they all lost.

unbeaten in the Big Ten, the conference they just joined this year. They will open up against New Mexico State on Saturday.

Undefeated Princeton, which is the 15th team to enter the NCAA Tournament unbeaten, is an eightseed — the highest in Ivy League history. The Tigers will face Green Bay. It’s the third time in five tournament appearances that the Tigers will play in the 8 vs.

9 game.

“They had a historic year,” NCAA women’s basketball committee chair Dru Hancock said. “When it came to where to seed them, they didn’t have any wins in the Top 25. Their strength of schedule wasn’t great. Twenty-one of the 30 wins came with an RPI over 100.

“The committee is very excited about the Green Bay-Princeton matchup ... they’ll have a chance to show the entire country what they can do.”

Other teams in Spokane include No. 2 Tennessee and third seed Oregon State.

All teams in the field would like to get to the national championship game April 7 in Tampa, Florida. This season the women’s tournament moved its games up one day in the first two rounds and the regionals. The Final Four is still being played on Sunday (semifinals) and Tuesday (title game).

The NCAA also decided to go back to rewarding

the top 16 seeds with home games in the opening two rounds for the first time since 2003.

By awarding the sites on merit the Gamecocks were allowed to host the first two rounds despite the state flying the Confederate flag on Statehouse grounds.

The NCAA banned South Carolina and other schools in the state from hosting championships held at predetermined sites because of the state’s decision to fly the Confederate flag. Mississippi schools also face the same NCAA rules.

Third-seeded Louisville was the only one of the 16 teams not hosting as the school’s home arena was being used for the men’s NCAA Tournament.

The Cardinals will head to South Florida to face BYU in the opener.

Louisville is one of eight Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the tournament.

The Big Ten, led by former ACC member Maryland, has seven teams in the field. South Carolina is one of seven SEC teams in the tournament. The SEC hasn’t had a team reach the Final Four since Tennessee won the title in Tampa in 2008.

The Lady Vols will be making their 34th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, getting into the field ever year. Three teams will be making their first trip — American, St. F r a n c is , B r o o k ly n a n d Savannah State.

Monday’s bracket didn’t include Georgia, which saw its 20-year run of consecutive appearances end. Earlier in the day coach Andy Landers announced his retirement.

Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “Somebody said that Portland Trail Blazers are the only team in America that was taller.”

Shabazz Napier of the Miami Heat — he led Connecticut past Kentucky in last year’s national title game, the Wildcats’ last loss — believes defensively elite teams like Wisconsin and Virginia would have a realistic shot.

“During March Madness, it’s more about who has the best guards,” Napier said. “You have to play their game, get up a couple points and then slow it up.

But it’s definitely going to be tough. I’ve seen some of their games — they’re super-talented. They’re the No. 1 team and undefeated for a reason.”

What makes Kentucky so difficult to stop is there’s no absolute key guy on the team.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari reacts to play against Florida during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in the quarter-final round of the Southeastern Conference tournament in Nashville, Tenn.

The Wildcats are the most balanced team in the country. And that depth is lethal.

Aaron Harrison is their leading scorer, his average of 11.3 points per game good for only spot No. 623 on the national rankings.

He logs more minutes than any other Wildcat, and there are 1,134 other Division I players who average more minutes than he does.

Combined, Kentucky has had players post a total of four 20-point games all season.

They come at teams in waves, and opponents don’t know who to guard.

“You only have so many tricks up your sleeve to keep you in it when you are playing a team this good,” Boston University coach Joe Jones said.

Small-size Coke pounds away at obesity concern NEW YORK — If a column in honor of heart health suggests a can of Coke as a snack, you might want to read the fine print.

The world’s biggest beverage maker, which struggles with declining soda consumption in the U.S., is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its cola as a healthy treat. In February, for instance, several wrote online pieces for American Heart Month, with each including a mini-can of Coke or small soda as a snack idea.

The mentions — which appeared on nutrition blogs and other sites including those of major newspapers — show the many ways food companies work behind the scenes to cast their products in a positive light, often with the help of third parties who are seen as trusted authorities.

Ben Sheidler, a Coca-Co-

la spokesman, compared the February posts to product-placement deals a company might have with television shows.

“We have a network of dietitians we work with,” said Sheidler, who declined to say how much the company pays experts. “Every big brand works with bloggers or has paid talent.”

Other companies including Kellogg and General Mills have used strategies like providing continuing-education classes for dietitians, funding studies that burnish the nutritional images of their products and offering newsletters for health experts. PepsiCo Inc. has also worked with dietitians who suggest its Frito-Lay and Tostito chips in local TV segments on healthy eating. Others use nutrition experts in sponsored content; the American Pistachio Growers has quoted a dietitian for the New England Patriots in a piece on healthy snacks

‘Obamacare’ tops 16M for coverage, White House says

Coca-Cola is using its 8.5-ounce bottles, consulting with fitness and nutrition experts, to offer consumers what the soda company says is a healthy alternative. and recipes and Nestle has quoted its own executive in a post about infant nutrition.

For Coca-Cola Co., the public relations strategy with health experts in February focused on the theme of “Heart Health & Black History Month.” The effort yielded a radio segment and multiple online pieces.

One post refers to a “refreshing beverage option such as a mini can of Coca-Cola.” Another suggests “portion-controlled versions of your favorites, like Coca-Cola minicans, packs of almonds or

pre-portioned desserts for a meal.”

The focus on the smaller cans isn’t surprising.

Sugary drinks have come under fire for fueling obesity rates and related ills, and the last time Coke’s annual U.S. soda volume increased was in 2002, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest.

More recently, the company is pushing its minicans as a guilt-free way to enjoy cola. The cans also fetch higher prices on a per ounce basis, so even if people are drinking less soda, Coke says it can grow sales.

WASHINGTON — More than 16 million Americans have gained insurance coverage as a result of President Barack Obama’s health care law, the administration said Monday as the White House prepares to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the law’s signing.

In releasing the latest estimates, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell called it “the largest reduction in the uninsured in four decades.”

Obama signed the Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010, but it has been politically divisive from the start.

Democrats hailed it as the culmination of decades of effort to guarantee health coverage for Americans, including people with health problems who until then could have been turned away by insurance companies. Republicans called it government overreach, and haven’t stopped trying to repeal what they

dismiss as “Obamacare.”

Burwell said the administration now estimates that 16.4 million people have gained coverage as a result of the law.

The program offers subsidized private coverage for people who don’t have health insurance on the job, along with an expanded Medicaid program that most states have accepted.

Most of those gaining coverage — 14.1 million adults — received their insurance after the law’s big expansion began at the end of 2013.

Another 2.3 million people had gained coverage previously.

Those were young adults allowed to remain on a parent’s plan until age 26 under one of the law’s most popular provisions.

Independent studies, including the extensive Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, have documented the same trend.

Newspaper that launched Mark Twain back in print RENO, Nev. — The historic Nevada newspaper where Mark Twain cut his journalistic teeth is back in publication for the first time in three decades, and its owners plan to uphold tradition by offering more than just real news.

The Territorial Enterprise was revived as an online and monthly print publication this week by Capitol Publishing Group, the parent company of a weekly newspaper in Jefferson City, Missouri, that focuses on politics and government.

Samuel Clemens, Twain’s real name, assumed his pen name and developed his penchant for western tall tales when he was a reporter from 1862 to 1864 at the feisty newspaper in Virginia City, about 20 miles southeast of Reno.

The Territorial Enterprise, based by its new owners in nearby Carson City, plans to feature yarns in keeping with Twain’s spirit, and cover politics, government, busi-

ness and culture across the state.

“For the most part, the news content will be professional, solid reporting,” editor Elizabeth Thompson said. “Sprinkled in and among that we intend to have fun with fictional and partly fictional stories from time to time.”

Ron James, former Nevada state historic preservation officer and author of four books on Virginia City, welcomed the newspaper’s return to publication.

“Anytime you resurrect an institution like that it’s a positive thing and we have to be pleased with that,” he said.

James said the Territorial Enterprise was one of the most prestigious newspapers in the West in the 1860s and 1870s because of its serious coverage of mining in one of the richest mineral troves ever: the Comstock Lode.

Twain was among a group of talented journalists at the newspaper who perfected the art of the

western tall tale with articles that became legendary for their wit, he added.

“I’ve always said Samuel Clemens was born in Missouri and Mark Twain was born in Nevada, and without his western sojourn there’s no way he would have been a nationally renowned author,” James said. “He and the other reporters didn’t spend all their time lying to the public, just a portion of their time.”

Still, the newspaper was regarded as good journalism, James said.

The Territorial Enterprise, the first newspaper printed in Nevada, was founded in 1858 and ceased publication in 1893. It has sputtered to life from time to time since then but has not achieved its former prominence except for a decade in the mid-20th century when it was under the ownership of writers Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. It was last published in the 1980s.

Thompson referred questions about the newspaper’s new owners to Scott Faughn, publisher of both the Territorial Enterprise and The Missouri Times. He did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Faughn, a former mayor of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, was a campaign manager for Rod Jetton, a Republican who served as Missouri House speaker from 2005 to 2009 and now co-owns the Jefferson City, Missouri, newspaper.

Faughn said in 2013 that both are committed to providing unbiased news coverage.

Both have had legal problems in the past. Jetton was charged with felony assault of a woman at her home in 2009 and was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge in 2011.

I don't know how to tell Ryan or if I even want to. I have always wanted to be a mother, and now I have the chance.

But I may end up doing it alone in poor financial shape. I also won't have a home to live in once my old-fashioned mother finds out I've gotten myself pregnant before marriage. Any advice?

SCARED STUPID IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SCARED STUPID: Yes. Take a pregnancy test to determine if you really are pregnant. If it turns out that you are, then you must tell your fiance everything. Even if Ryan walks away, the baby's father will be legally responsible for child support.

It is important that you also

tell your mother what's going on. She may not be thrilled to hear the news, but I doubt she will put you and her grandchildto-be out on the street. A generation or two ago that might have happened, but no longer.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I know if a girl breaks off the engagement, she's supposed to return the ring to her ex-fiance. Does the situation of a wife filing for divorce fall under the same set of rules? I need a response soon.

I couldn't think of where that had come from. Then I noticed that the hinges on the cabinet door were terribly rusty.

My plumber was over, and I asked him if he knew why the hinges would be rusty. He asked what I kept in the cabinet. I told him I kept my cleaning products in it, and some are commercial grade. He said the vapors from the chemicals were most likely the cause, especially the commercial toilet-bowl cleaner.

I'm not keeping those chemicals under the sink anymore. And the "dirt" was rust dust. Be careful what you store in your cabinets, even under the sink.

In early states like Iowa, Cruz hones pitch, visits Clinton plans to run hard New Hampshire voters

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to run a primary campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination focused on the four traditional early-to-vote states, forgoing the chance to parlay her dominant position into an early start in the swing states key to the general election.

Data-driven grassroots organizing in states such as Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, along with fundraising, will be the focus when Clinton launches her presidential campaign, probably in early April, according to people familiar with the strategy.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal planning on the record.

The approach aims to take little for granted while capitalizing on the fact that three of the states — all but South Carolina — are also campaign battlegrounds.

“I have no doubt that she will run hard in Iowa, whether or not she has competition in the caucuses,” said Bonnie Campbell, a former state attorney general and Clinton supporter.

“Iowa is a competitive state in the general election, so time spent here is time wellspent.”

Democrats say the former secretary of state has yet to begin building state organizations in fall campaign battlegrounds such as Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Colorado, but the national focus is on raising money.

The campaign is beginning to assemble a stable of fundraisers for a race likely to exceed the more than $1 billion President Barack Obama raised for his 2012 re-election. If Clinton announces in April, her campaign would be required

to release its first fundraising report in July.

“I’m sure there will be a line to host her when she says it’s time,” said John Morgan, a Florida Democratic fundraiser. “Money will not be a problem.”

Clinton has struggled with criticism in recent weeks over her use of a private email account at the State Department and whether she skirted transparency rules. A CNN poll released Monday found that about half of the public said Clinton did something wrong by using the personal system and half said she did not. The poll found that 46 percent thought Clinton’s explanation was enough while 51 percent felt she had not done enough to explain her actions.

Instead of waging a general election strategy from the start, Clinton’s team will emulate many of the tactics that propelled Obama: relying heavily on data, empowering neighborhood volunteer teams to organize communities and holding events that allow for more personal connections.

Clinton’s 2008 campaign suffered from a sense of inevitability about her candidacy and fell victim to Obama’s ground game in Iowa, where the future president scored a decisive victory in the caucuses. While she made two visits to Iowa on behalf of state Democrats last year, party activists are looking for signs she will compete vigorously despite a lack of competition right now.

“There is a perceived Iowa problem,” said Norm Sterzenbach, a former executive director of the state Democratic party. “The best way to fix that is to be here and do well,” he said. “And it’s an investment that would pay off in the general elec-

tion.”

A strategy focused on the early voting states could help her in this respect: Republican presidential hopefuls are already campaigning in them, and trying to tarnish Clinton’s name on a daily basis. Her presence in those states would give her a direct chance to respond.

Taken in full, the four states also give any presidential contender a chance to connect with important segments of the electorate.

Iowa and New Hampshire have many white, rural voters who have eluded Democrats in recent elections, while Nevada is rich with up-for-grabs Latino voters and South Carolina has a large segment of black voters, who have been loyal to Obama.

Much of the emphasis on field organizing comes from Clinton’s expected campaign manager, Robby Mook, who helped steer Clinton’s 2008 campaign to victories in Nevada, Indiana and Ohio using many of the same tactics used by Obama.

In 2013, Mook managed Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s successful governor’s bid in Virginia, infusing data into every major decision and allowing it to zero in on specific voters crucial to the election’s outcome. In an off-year election, McAuliffe’s investment let the campaign deploy more than 13,000 volunteers during the race’s final days.

Mook’s ties to New Hampshire run deep. A native of Vermont, he worked on Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign there and later managed New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s re-election in 2008.

GOFFSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — Ahead of his expected presidential campaign, Sen. Ted Cruz is betting that voters in New Hampshire share a similarly dour view of government that he sees back at home in Texas.

He is promising to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and scrap the Education Department.

He vows to curtail federal regulators, likening them to locusts that deserve to be killed. And his standard campaign-style speech includes a zinger about the Second Amendment.

For someone who has a day job in Washington, Cruz sure likes bashing the capital.

“The people who get hammered by big government are the little guys.

It’s the small businesses, it’s the mom and pop,” Cruz told business leaders near Manchester on Monday.

It’s all part of the pitch Cruz is making to rural voters, here in New Hampshire and in other early nominating states with vast stretches of farms and forests. All candidates make such efforts, and frequent stops at county fairs and farm stands will be a staple of campaign schedules by the time there are declared candidates.

Even before he becomes an official candidate, Cruz crossed off one item on every contender’s to-do list on Sunday: make a visit to the sparsely populated northern one-third of the state called the North Country. The rural region is home to less than a tenth of the state’s population and its economy struggles to survive.

But candidates — such as a would-be-aspirant like

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a tea party favorite and possible presidential candidate in 2016, speaks to Paul Horvath, of Somersworth, N.H., during a visit to the Strafford County Republican Committee Chili and Chat on Sunday in Barrington, N.H. Cruz — ignore the region at their peril. While there are fewer voters here than in the populous southern tier of the state, they are vocal. Candidates cannot be perceived as writing off the North Country in favor of the southern region, which is home to newcomers from neighboring Massachusetts.

“We will probably have each and every one come through,” Grafton County GOP chairman Bruce Perlo said of the candidates.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry visited last week, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and businesswoman Carly Fiorina have announced plans to head north, too. Each is a Republican with White House ambitions.

If the trip and its messaging border on pandering, Cruz does not care.

“To value liberty and freedom above all else — live free or die,” he said,

channeling New Hampshire’s state motto. “That sums up what it means to be an American.”

For now, as Cruz is moving toward making official his White House ambitions, he is pitching himself as a Washington outsider and a conservative champion who would scrap federal departments and return control over schools to parents.

Ahead of an official declaration, he is working to introduce himself to voters as someone who understands their frustrations.

“If you see a candidate who Washington embraces, run and hide,” Cruz told party activists at this Grafton County GOP fundraiser.

Cruz’s standard political speech is laced with such messages against government and tailoring it to the local crowds.
