Arbor Day brought hundreds of people to Spring River Park and Zoo, Saturday, where residents celebrated Roswell’s continued efforts and success in tree growth, and lined up for seedlings that will soon add even more green to the community. Keep Roswell Beautiful and zoo staff distributed about 1,500 seedlings to attendees, who chose from 11 tree and shrub species suited to Roswell’s arid climate, soils, elevation and sunshine. Elaine Mayfield, zoo director, said KRB, the Parks Department and the zoo have collaborated on Arbor Day activities for many years. “We talk to people all the time who did this 10 years ago, and now have beautiful trees in their yards,” Mayfield said. “This is a beautiful city with all the trees, and it makes such a difference. ... “To me, the trees are just a part of our planet that we

President Barack Obama at the CEO Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, Saturday.

CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP) — President Barack Obama’s willingness to engage with America’s adversaries comes with promise and peril, a reality hammered

home by signs of progress in nuclear talks with Iran and a setback in North Korea’s provocative rocket launch. In Colombia, where Obama is

attending a summit with Latin American leaders, the president has been confronted by the stubbornly stalled U.S.-Cuba relationship, despite his offer of a “new beginning” with the communist nation. The convergence of events focused fresh attention on a foreign policy strategy that puts a premium on keeping the door open for diplomacy, even with countries the U.S. considers “bad actors.” Obama administration officials say the strategy has improved the U.S. standing in the world by showing that America is more willing to look outward, 10 years since President George W. Bush branded Iran, Iraq and North Korea as members of an “axis of evil.” White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes credited U.S. engagement with Iran and North Korea with allowing the U.S. to rally international support for stronger penalties when those

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico filed a lawsuit against the city of Roswell on Thursday, alleging city police officers violated the First Amendment free speech rights of Joshua and Jeremy De Los Santos, members of Old Paths Baptist Church. According to the ACLU, Jeremy De Los Santos has been arrested five times in the past two years, and Joshua De Los Santos, the pastor at Old Paths, has been arrested twice during the same period. The lawsuit states the brothers were arrested “as a result of their efforts to preach the Gospel,” and that charges against both plaintiffs were

Sheriff Coon recalls carnage of 1980 prison riot NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

Chaves County Sherrif f Rob Coon spoke at the Roswell Public Library, Saturday, sharing stories of his time as a state policeman during the February 1980 New Mexico State Penitentiary riot, which resulted in 33 prisoners dead and more than 200 injured. In what remains one of the largest, most monetarily destructive prison riots in American history, Coon discussed what led up to the historic event in Santa Fe, the violence that ensued during the 36 hours inmates controlled the facility and the many lessons learned.

Coon said he was fortunate to have been trained for such an event, unlike the majority of the prison’s 167 correctional officers, of whom Coon says only about 30 percent had undergone for mal training. Coon was on the SWAT team with 21 other officers, the first to enter the prison during the riot. He says that more than 30 years later, what stands out most from his 18 days in Santa Fe is the chilling visual experience of the prison’s interior. “The carnage — just the destruction, the fire, the smoke,” Coon said. “It was pretty hair -raising. But I was with a bunch of guys I

trusted, and we went in and got the situation fixed, cleaned up and went about our business.” Coon said the majority of the inmates did not want any part of the violence, and attributes the carnage to a small faction of prisoners, a “murder squad” made up of lifers with an axe to grind, or who simply had nothing to lose. “(I walked) in flooded cell blocks in ankle-deep water that was red from blood,” Coon said. “Back then we didn’t worry about AIDS or Hepatitis C or B. You just dusted your boots off when you got out

Cheney addresses Wyoming Republican convention dent Barack Obama. The Wyoming Republican Party chose 14 delegates Saturday to this summer’s Republican National Convention and all of them are committed to support Romney. The state will send a total of 29 delegates to the RNC. Cheney’s heart transplant in Virginia on March 24 initially canceled his trip to the state party convention but he got lastminute medical clearance to go. “I’m not running any foot races yet but it won’t be long,” he said. He owed a “huge debt” to the unknown donor of his new heart, he said, and to medical technology. He did not take the opportunity to weigh in on health care politics. He didn’t stumble in his words and his voice was clear. “I was amazed he was able to say so much over the whole course of an hour,” said one delegate to the convention, Helen Bishop, of Moran in Jackson Hole. “I thought it would be a really brief,

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney walked onstage without any assistance and spoke for an hour and 15 minutes without seeming to tire in his first public engagement since he underwent a heart transplant three weeks ago. He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane. Cheney even threw in a couple of political plugs amid much reminiscing at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday. He said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is going to do a “whale of a job.” He said it’s never been more important than now to defeat a sitting president and the Republican Party should unite behind Romney. “He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country,” Cheney said of Presi-

‘hi.”’ Cheney neither arrived early nor stuck around to shake hands: It was fly-in, fly-out. Bishop speculated he might soon return to Jackson Hole, where he has a home in the exclusive Teton Pines neighborhood. He is an avid fly fisherman. Nearly all of the talk traced the more than 40 years of Cheney’s political career, including the controversial waterboarding and other interrogation practices the Bush administration employed to extract information from terrorist suspects. “It produced a wealth of information. Don’t let anybody tell you the enhanced interrogation program did not work. It did,” he said to the loudest applause of his visit. Cheney has had five heart attacks. His first was during a visit to Cheyenne in 1978, when he was 37 and running for Congress for the first time. He recalled worrying about possibly having to suspend his campaign. His doctor advised him

otherwise. “He said, ‘Hell, Dick. Hard work never killed anybody.’ Some of the best medical advice I ever got,” Cheney said to chuckles. Cheney would go on to serve Wyoming as a congressman, winning re-election five times. The crowd of more than 300 gave Cheney and Liz Cheney a long standing ovation. Wyoming has among the highest rates of Republican voter registration of any state and Cheney remains a political rock star here. The thrill of many Wyomingites just to see their hero hasn’t faded with his health, though some angst tempered their excitement this time. “We’re very concerned about him. We’re very worried about him as a friend and a colleague,” said Cherie Fisher, a delegate from Park County near Yellowstone National Park, during a smoke break. Her own father died in need of a heart transplant and she knows what’s involved in recovering from getting a new heart, she

said. Others at Little America — a vast hotel, golf, convention and truck stop complex off the intersection of Interstates 25 and 80 — had no idea the former vice president was close by. “I don’t know what he would have to say that I would find particularly encouraging,” said Weston McCary, of Fort Collins,

Colo., after a big birthday breakfast with his family.

His mom lit up at the news Cheney was near.

“Is he really? How cool is that!” said Sharon Leavey, of Wellington, Colo.

US officials: CIA drone strikes will continue in Pakistan

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has no intentions of ending CIA drone strikes against militant targets on Pakistani soil, U.S. officials say, possibly setting the two countries up for diplomatic tensions after Pakistan’s parunanimously liament approved new guidelines for the country’s troubled relationship with the United States.

U.S. officials say they will work in coming weeks and months to find common ground with Pakistan, but if a suspected terrorist target comes into the laser sights of a CIA drone’s hellfire missiles, they will take the shot. It’s not the first time the U.S. has ignored Pakistan’s parliament, which demanded an end to drone strikes

in 2008. What’s different now is that the Pakistani government is in a more fragile political state, and can no longer continue its earlier practice of quietly allowing the U.S. action while publicly denouncing it, Pakistani officials say.

The White House declined to comment. All other of ficials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the high stakes diplomatic jockeying.

The parliament approved on Thursday recommendations intended to guide Pakistan’s government in its negotiations to reset the U.S. relationship. The guidelines allow for the blockade on U.S. and NATO supplies to be lifted. The lawmakers demanded a halt to CIA-led missile attacks but did not make Roadrunner Cash

that a prerequisite to reopening the supply lines. The relationship between Pakistan and the U.S. faltered after a series of incidents in 2011 that have damaged trust on both sides — from the controversy over CIA security officer Ray Davis who killed two Pakistani alleged assailants and was later released, to the U.S. Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May, without Pakistani permission. But the arguable

nadir in relations came in November, when U.S. forces returned fire they believed came from a Pakistani border post, killing 24 Pakistani troops. Those incidents led to the ejection of U.S. military trainers who’d worked closely with Pakistani counter -insurgent forces, slowed CIA drone strikes, and joint raids and investigations by Pakistan’s intelligence service together with the CIA and FBI. The border incident led to the

A recent series of high level U.S. military and State Department visits have produced backroom understandings on almost every issue except the drones, one for mer U.S. official briefed on the talks explained, with U.S. officials offering to negotiate some sort of payment to use the border crossing points, for instance. The White House is also still considering issuing an official apology for the deadly border incident, two senior U.S. officials say, which would help ease Pakistani outrage and demonstrate the Pakistani government wrested at least one major concession from the US. And while the U.S. has no intentions of stopping its CIA and FBI counterter-

rorist activities on Pakistani soil, the White House could take the step of withdrawing some of the staff for a few months until the spotlight is off the controversy, as it did last year after the Ray Davis incident, and again after the Bin Laden raid.

But neither side is budging on the drone issue, so far, both U.S. and Pakistani officials say.

The White House has raised the bar to who the CIA is allowed to target, applying new limits and all but curtailing so-called “signature strikes” where CIA targeters deemed certain groups and behavior as clearly indicative of militant activity.

The White House also explored whether giving Pakistan advance notice of the strikes could become the basis of a compromise to keep the operation going.

Bataan Death March soldiers arrive at camp

SANTA FE — On this 70th anniversary of the Bataan Death March, I am reprinting a column from a series I created seven years ago commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. On April 16, the bulk of prisoners were reaching their destination. Those in the first ranks of the Bataan Death March began arriving at Camp O’Donnell on April 13, 1942. These were units that had been marched steadily for three days over a route that ranged from 60 to 90 miles. The pace had been brutal. The shorter Japanese guards had to dog trot to keep up. Later they began using bicycles and the pace quickened even more. Some had ridden part way when buses and trucks transporting Japanese soldiers to the front returned to pick up another load. The enemy was scurrying to get its troops to the south end of Bataan as quickly as possible and its captives to the north and out of

the way. When transportation was not available, the enemy was marching its own troops at the same brutal pace it was marching its captives. The Japanese had lost much time at Bataan in their sweep south to take the Pacific all the way to Australia. Far too many men and weapons had been diverted to the area. Tokyo was applying pressure to finish the job at Corregidor and move south before the United States could mobilize to defend Australia. O’Donnell was an abandoned camp the Americans and Filipinos had been preparing. Much still needed to be done to house the

prisoners and the Japanese didn’t have time to do it. So captives were chosen to send ahead to prepare the camp. Those were the lucky ones. As the early formations of ragged, bloody and starved men arrived, those who had gone ahead first learned of the Death March. As New Mexicans staggered into camp, they were grabbed by their buddies and taken to an area they had staked out for themselves. It took many days to nurse them back to any degree of health. Some didn’t make it. They had spent their last ounce of energy getting to the camp and had no more left. On May 10, The Japanese moved most of the senior officers to a separate camp, leaving only a staff of several colonels and Gen. Sage. At Gen. King’s suggestion, Sage was named commander of the American portion of the camp, which numbered some 9,300 men. The New Mexicans rejoiced at the recognition accorded their commanding officer.

But Sage didn’t have much say as to what happened. The camp was run by an overage Japanese reserve officer, who loved to climb on a box in his baggy shorts and screech at them about how he would like all of them to die. Only the benevolence of the emperor permits you to live, he said. “You are guests of the emperor.” The emperor was not a good host. Conditions were hideous. Men began to die from the filth, starvation, disease and hopelessness. Many chose to die. Three months later, the prisoners were moved to Cabanatuan and conditions only got worse. Red Cross attempts to inspect the camp were denied. Red Cross shipments of food and medical supplies were diverted for Japanese use. In late November 1942, a shipment did get through. While they lasted, the death rate slowed, but it was to be a year before another shipment got through. The Japan-

ese camp commander said he wished to keep the prisoners too weak to resist. The Japanese organized work details. Anyone healthy enough jumped at them because it was an opportunity to get outside the camp. It was also an opportunity to interact with natives on the sly and to steal anything that might be helpful back in camp. They even devised a way to counterfeit the near-worthless invasion money. Japanese guards with venereal disease dared not report it to their own doctors for help, so they went to the Americans and paid dearly for black market medicine. Masonic Lodge contacts and other good souls the men had met in Manila also helped with money and medicine through highly organized pipelines. And thus they maintained their morale.

Candidates stay on ballot

We were pleased that the state Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of allowing state Sen. Tim Jennings, and other candidates around the state, to appear on the ballot for New Mexico’s June Primary Election. It would have been a shame if a technicality short circuited the election process. Jennings, D-Roswell, and more than a half dozen other incumbent legislators, were snared by a state law passed earlier this year which required for the first time the district number to be included on petitions candidates must submit when they file for an office. The petitions list signatures of registered voters and candidates must have a certain number of signatures to qualify for office. This past legislative session was extremely hectic and was made even more so by redistricting. Some candidates couldn’t even be sure where district boundaries were until the final ruling got through the court system. It’s no wonder that some candidates weren’t up to speed on the new rules. Jennings described Senate Bill 403, which included many other changes as well as the new petition guidelines, as “a substantial document, more than 100 pages long.” After hearing arguments from lawyers in the case, Chief Justice Petra Jimenez Mans said the court wasn’t going to disqualify candidates for omitting a district number because there’s ambiguity in state law. When that happens the court will “err on the side to allow the election to move forward,” she said. Jennings has served our region faithfully for years and is an invaluable asset for southeastern New Mexico. In addition to his experience and dedication, Jennings is the Senate president pro tem. If removed, it’s highly unlikely his replacement would hold a leadership position in the Senate. That would be a blow to local interests which have already suffered greatly due to the loss of legislative clout at the hands of redistricting. Secretary of State Dianna Duran deemed Jennings, and others sued for omitting district numbers, eligible candidates after seeking advice from Attorney General Gary King’s office. King’s office advised Duran that court rulings in New Mexico and other states indicate that “substantial compliance” with the candidate filing form is adequate and it’s unlikely a court would reject a candidate solely because a district number was omitted from a nominating petition. We’re glad that common sense has won out in this case. There are valid instances when errors on candidate applications should result in candidates being removed from the ballot. Given the brief time between the passage of the new rules and the filing deadline, it’s appropriate to allow candidates who didn’t comply with the updated regulations to remain as candidates. As it stands, voters will get to decide if Jennings deserves to stay in office rather than him being removed by a technicality. That is as it should be. DEAR DOCTOR K: My husband has a deviated septum. The condition runs in his family, and both his mother and uncle had unsuccessful surgeries to correct theirs. As a result, he refuses to consider surgery. What can be done? DEAR READER: In people with a deviated septum, one nasal passage inside the nose is wider than normal and one is narrower. This alters the pattern of airflow in the nose and sometimes blocks airflow on the narrowed side. The nasal septum is the wall between the left and right sides of the nose. It is firm but bendable. Ideally, the nasal septum should lie exactly in the center, forming two equal nasal passages. Yet in about 80 percent of

Rick Santorum’s impossible dream

Most campaigns have a musical theme. Rick Santorum, who “suspended” his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday, might have selected the song “The Impossible Dream.” Santorum’s dream seemed improbable, if not impossible, from the start. He lost his last Senate race and had been out of office — and out of mind — for the last few years; not exactly a platform on which one usually runs for president. Political “experts” believed his chief foe, Mitt Romney,

later in life. A blow to one side of the head can knock the nasal septum out of position. Symptoms of a deviated septum can include: — Blockage of one or both nostrils; — Nasal congestion, sometimes on one side; — Frequent nosebleeds; — Frequent sinus infections; — Facial pain, headaches, postnasal drip; — Noisy breathing during sleep in infants and young children; — Sleep interrupted by difficulty breathing, including an inability to sleep on one side (because sleeping on that side blocks breathing). The first step for your husband would be to speak with an oto-

with a grace that allowed others who are struggling with physically- and mentally-challenged children to identify with him. No one could credibly accuse him of being an elitist and out of touch with average Americans. The for mer senator ran where others would not, or could not, go successfully. Santorum is a decent man in an indecent age, preaching to a largely hedonistic culture about old-time values abandoned by many, perhaps even a majority, of Americans. At the very least, too many are indifferent to them. In doing

Such allergies can cause tissues in the nose to swell, which further narrows the nasal passage on the side of the deviated septum. Some people use over-the-counter nasal sprays, such as oxymetazoline. These can open up nasal passages for a few days, but if these sprays are used more than that, they can cause the nasal passages to close down again. Sometimes surgery — called a septoplasty — is needed. In this procedure, the surgeon moves See DR. K, Page A5

so, he attempted to “right the unrightable wrong” and encourage others to be “better far than you are,” even when their “arms are too weary.” Rick Santorum’s greatest contribution to the Republican campaign may have been to force the now presumed nominee, Mitt Romney, to the right. Romney claims he has always been a conservative, but he has had a difficult time convincing voters who were attracted to Santorum, whom they believed to be the true conservative in the race.

Military benefits at risk

Dear Editor: I am a retired Air Force officer and a member of MOAA (Military Officers Association of America) and received the following information regarding FY 2013 Budget that pertains to the active and retired military people and their dependents. Quoted from: Military Officers Association of America, March 2012. “In January, the White House and Pentagon announced the FY 2013 defense budget proposal would include nearly $500 billion in cuts over the next 10 years, with a significant share of the cuts being absorbed in personnel, compensation, health care, and other military benefits. As this (magazine) went to press, details weren’t expected until release of the president’s FY 2013 budget in February. But Pentagon and administration leaders already have tipped their hands via previous proposals to 2011’s ill-fated congressional ‘super committee,’ among others. Proposals already endorsed by the administration and/or others in government include: Health Care Establish a $300-per person annual enrollment fee for TRICARE For Life (TFL). Impose an additional $500 annual deductible for TFL and limit TFL coverage to 50 percent of the next $5,000 in medical costs.

the septum to a normal position. In some cases, the surgeon also will reshape the external appearance of the nose in a procedure called rhinoplasty. When the two procedures are done at the same time, the surgery is called a septorhinoplasty. Success rates for septoplasty are actually quite high, from the research I’ve read — greater than 80 percent. Perhaps your husband’s mother and uncle

were just unlucky. I’d say it’s worth it for your husband to try the surgery if he’s uncomfortable enough to take action. And maybe you’ll sleep better, too. Look for an ear, nose and throat surgeon who has done a large number of septoplasty operations in his or her career, and in the past couple of years, in particular. Practice does make perfect.

If Santorum ends up campaigning for Romney and brings his religious and conservative values voters with him, Romney will owe him in a big way and that might make him an important powerbroker. He could also serve as a useful attack dog, snapping at President Obama’s heels. Should Romney choose to use him in that role, he could be an effective counter to Vice President Joe Biden, who has been engaging in demagoguery against Republicans in recent speeches. Though Santorum did not mention Romney in his campaign suspension announcement, Romney mentioned Santorum in a brief statement. Romney said of his now former rival, “He has proven himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation.

Military Pay and Force Levels Cap military pay raises below privatesector pay growth. Cut back in bonuses and/or allowance levels. Cut family support programs. Impose large force reductions, particularly for the Army and Marine Corps, which can only add to deployment hardships in the continuing wartime environment.

Military Retirement Curtail annual COLAs. “Civilianize” military retirement by moving to a 401(k)-style system, and dramatically reduce retired pay upon leaving service with 20 to 30 years. MOAA’s Position: MOAA believes such illadvised proposals (1) grossly devalue the extraordinary sacrifices demanded of career service-members in return for their earned compensation, and (2) undermine retention and readiness by discouraging career service.” This information is important to everyone — not just the military — as it tells the future of our military and the security of our country. Thank you, James L. Beatty (Ret. USAF, CWO-4) Roswell behind us and setting America back on the path to prosperity.” If Santorum reciprocates, maybe not immediately, but eventually, the healing of the divisive primary campaign will have been achieved. If Santorum does the job well enough, he could find himself in a Romney Cabinet, say, secretary of Health and Human Services, where he could focus on those moral and cultural issues about which he cares so much. Or, he might even be Romney’s choice for vice president. There have been stranger bedfellows in American politics. Santorum as vice president really would be an impossible dream, but if elected he would have come very close to almost reaching “the unreachable star.” (Write to Cal Thomas at: Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, N.Y. 14207.

We are governed by the Law of the Harvest A6 Sunday, April 15, 2012

Who you are today is no accident. Where you are today is no accident. You are who you are and where you are because of choices you have made. It is the Law of the Harvest. You will not find the Law of the Harvest written into our federal laws. You will not find the Law of the Harvest written into our state or city laws. Yet the Law of the Harvest governs each of us. It is the law addressed in the Bible in Galatians 6:7 where Paul wrote, “A man reaps what he sows.” It is the principle that if you plant an oak seed, you get an oak tree. If you plant a dandelion seed, you get a weed. This law applies not only positively, but also negatively. You have got to be careful what you sow because a single seed doesn’t bring just a single result, it usually brings a multiple harvest. We reap what we sow. Isn’t that what our lives are all about, reaping and sowing? You see, actions bring consequences. We are each the CEO of our own life. Our lives are a series of choices. We choose what we wear. We choose what we eat. We choose whether or not we read the newspaper. We choose to be involved in our community. We choose how much time we spend

with our family. We choose what we do with our free time. We choose whether or not we even have free time. Life is lived one choice at a time. The choices we each make when compiled together make up who we are. It is the Law of the Harvest. In our early years, our life is determined mainly by our conditions. A baby does not choose his or her family. A young child does not choose what type of home environment he or she lives in. But as age increases, so do a person’s options. Uncontrolled conditions become controllable choices. Choices become habits. Habits become character. Character becomes destiny. But it all goes back to individual choices we make and what we choose to sow. William Jennings Bryan said,

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” George Ber nard Shaw once stated, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.” It is the Law of the Harvest. I oftentime hear people complain that their life is in a rut. There is a sign up in Canada at the entry of an open field with undeveloped roads leading off in dif ferent directions. The sign reads, “Choose your rut carefully. You will be in it for the next 20 miles.” Isn’t life that way sometimes? You look back and say to yourself, “How did I get here?” Some of us chose our paths many years ago. Regardless of the past, it is not too late to make a change if we truly desire one. If your life is monotonous, it is you, not the world, that is boring. We live in a great and exciting world! How much we choose to give or receive in this world determines what our own independent experience with life is. It is the Law of the Harvest.

Roswell Daily Record

What really bothers me are people who sit back and complain and gripe because something is not going their way when a simple change on their behalf would cure the problem. Let me encourage you to do a self assessment. Step back outside of yourself and take a global look at your life. Do you like what you see? What are you sowing? What are you reaping? If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting. It is the Law of the Harvest. If you like what you are getting, be thankful and don’t change a thing! If you don’t like what you are getting, by all means make changes. Change something, change anything. But make a change in the choices that you make. For example if you do not get satisfaction out of going to work each day, first try to change your attitude. If that doesn’t work, maybe you need to change your job or even your occupation. Life is too short for it to not be enjoyed. We need to be proactive and not reactive. As Stephen Covey wrote, “Being proactive is more than taking initiative. It is recognizing that we are responsible for

our own choices and have the freedom to choose based on principles and values rather than on moods or conditions. Proactive people are agents of change and choose not to be victims, to be reactive, or to blame others.” Whatever you do, don’t bring others down by your failure to make changes that are within your power. If you are unhappy in your job, it not only causes added stress in your life, it also drags down those around you and creates stress in their lives. A change results in a step up for both you and those around you. My challenge to you is to make good choices and may you sow in each choice the actions to allow you to reap the harvest that comes from planting proper seeds. We each reap what we sow. It is the Law of the Harvest. Just a thought ... Rick Kraft is a local attorney and the executive director of the Leadership Roswell Program.

Taming ‘Taxmageddon’ needs to happen sooner rather than later ED FEULNER THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

Many Americans are breathing a sigh of relief as they finally manage to file their income-tax returns. No need to worry about taxes again for another year, right? Not so fast. Higher taxes are coming. And they’ll hit well before next April 15. How bad will it be? Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke calls it a “massive fiscal cliff.” According to The Washington Post, the looming tax hike is “Taxmageddon.” All told, Americans will see taxes go up $494 billion, starting at the beginning of 2013. That’s less than nine months from now. It all breaks down to one of the most sizable tax bills in history. Every household in America would face an average tax increase of $3,800 — in a single year. How, you may be wondering, did this come about? When did Congress pass a tax increase? It didn’t. At least, not

directly. The increase is set to happen automatically. As of next Jan. 1, tax policies in seven different categories will expire, and five of the 18 new tax hikes from Obamacare will begin. It’s a near-perfect fiscal storm — occurring just after a major national election, no less. Among the tax breaks that are expiring: the Bush tax cuts that occurred in 2001 and 2003, the payroll tax cut, and the tax cut from the 2009 stimulus. That’s not all. The estate tax, known more accurately as the Death Tax, rises to 55 percent. The 100 percent exemption for business investment goes away. Also among the soon-to-be-missing: the patch that lawmakers passed to ensure that the Alternative Minimum Tax doesn’t snare more and more middle-income earners (instead of the super-rich it was originally designed for). This $494 billion increase is unprecedented in scope. To give you a better idea of how big it really is, consider that all of the tax hikes in Obamacare — a huge tax

Saddling a “jobless” recovery with this monster hike is spectacularly bad policy. And we don’t have to wait until next Jan. 1 to start feeling these negative ef fects. Families, businesses and investors can see these tax hikes coming. Because they can’t be sure if or when Congress and President Obama will act to avert them, they’ll hold off on any major economic activity that would result in a sizable new tax bill. This uncertainty is poisonous. And it can only result in fewer jobs, less economic activity and reduced investment. That’s why it’s important that policymakers act now to forestall this result. Unfortunately, history doesn’t give us much reason for hope. Our elected leaders tend to delay taking such necessary steps until the last minute. Usually they’re engaged in some political horse-

It’s time for Congress and the president to stop playing games with our fiscal future. Smart tax reform is essential for the recovery to finally kick into gear. That means, among other things, moving the tax system toward a flat rate for all. It would be simple, fair and transparent. Instead of an overly complex system filled with special-interest loopholes, we could have one that enables anyone to fill out a tax form with ease. “The power to tax is the power to destroy,” Chief Justice John Marshall once said. Especially if that power is handled irresponsibly. Let’s hope that Congress and the president are ready to prove the cynics wrong — and protect us from Taxmageddon.

Obama tax return shows 2011 earnings of $789,674 Roswell Daily Record

WA S HI NG T ON (A P ) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; P r e s i de n t Barack Obama and his family paid more than $160,000 in federal taxes last year on e ar n i n gs o f $ 7 89 , 67 4 , t h e W h it e House said Friday. The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 federal income tax return shows that about half of the first familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income is the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary. The rest comes from sales of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effective tax rate is just above 20 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lower than many Americans who earn less. He has made taxrate fairness a campaign issue, arguing that millionaires and other very wealthy people should not pay a smaller share of their incomes in taxes than people who earn much less. â&#x20AC;&#x153; H e bel ie ves t h a t pe o p le l ik e h i m should be paying an effective tax rate that is no lower than the rate paid by hard-working, middle-class Americans,â&#x20AC;? White House press secretary Jay Carney said Friday. The White House did not say exactly what rate Obama thinks would have been fair for him in 2011, but using a calculator posted on the White House web site, more than 56,000 millionaires would have paid taxes at a lower rate. O b a m aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s p r op os e d â&#x20AC;&#x153; B u f fe t t R ul e â&#x20AC;? would not have applied to him last year, since he earned less than $1 million. The plan is named for Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor who has complained that rich people like him pay a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middle-class taxpayers do.

President Barack Obama speaks at the Port of Tampa in Tampa, Fla., Friday. Many wealthy taxpayers earn investment income, which is taxed at 15 percent. Obama has proposed that people earning at least $1 million annually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether in salary or from investments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should pay at least 30 percent of their incomes in taxes. The push for the realignment draws renewed attention to the effective tax rate of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a millionaire who is paying 15.4 percent in federal t ax e s for 2 011 o n i nc om e m ost ly

GSA was aware of scandal last July

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An internal government memo released Friday shows officials of the General Services Administration were aware of a spending problem months before the scandal burst into public view this month. The GSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy administrator, Susan Brita, emailed agency officials last July that the inspector general found no substantive agenda at a 2010 GSA conference at a Las Vegas resort. She said that expenses for a clown suit, bicycles used for a team-building exercise, tuxedos and a mind-reader didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lend themselves to the claim of a substantive conference. The event cost taxpayers about $823,000. Brita also questioned why a regional administrator in charge of the conference received only a disciplinary letter that â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not even a slap on the wrist.â&#x20AC;? A major concern in the memo was how The Washington Post, with thousands of readers who are federal employees, would report the story. A GSA spokesman declined to comment, saying the agency preferred to let the email speak for itself. The email was sent to Robert Peck, then the head of the GSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Building Service, with copies to his deputy, David Foley, and another top agency official, Stephen Leeds. Peck and Leeds were fired after Inspector General Brian Miller issued a stinging report earlier this month on the cost of the conference to taxpayers. GSA administrator Martha Johnson resigned in the wake of the report. Eight GSA employees have been placed on administrative leave, including Foley. He is seen in a conference video giving an award to an employee who produced a rap video bragging about the conference spending. The email by Brita, who remains at GSA, was made public by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which will conduct the first of three hearings on GSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending practices next week. The agency is in charge of federal buildings and supplies, and part of its mission is to save taxpayers money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Obama administration has not been upfront with the American people about how long theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known about lavish spending abuses at GSA,â&#x20AC;? committee chairman Darrell Issa said. The California Republican added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that they were fretting about the political consequences and preparing for media scrutiny on abuses many months ago, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to take real actions until the release of the inspector generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be delayed any longer.â&#x20AC;? Brita wrote that a letter to a GSA executive responsible for the conference, Jeff Neely, â&#x20AC;&#x153;should be crafted with a WAPO (Washington Post) mind frame.â&#x20AC;? Neely is one of the eight officials placed on administrative leave. She said she had no doubt the Post would connect the lavish conference spending to a period of high unemployment and a down economy. She wondered what the reaction to the story would be from the public and Congress, and questioned how GSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political leadership would respond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeff is a seasoned SES (senior executive service employee) who is expected to display the highest standards of common sense, and prudent financial management,â&#x20AC;? she wrote Peck.

derived from investments. By contrast, the top nominal rate for taxpayers with high incomes derived from wages, not investments, is 35 percent. The White House released a copy of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax return, which also shows charitable donations of more than $172,000. Obama is donating after-tax proceeds from his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book to the Fisher House Foundation. The charity helps veterans and military families receiving medical treatment.

The family tax return is fairly simple by the standards of wealthy people with multiple assets and sources of income. Ob am a list ed h is t wo d au gh t er s as dependents and his occupation as â&#x20AC;&#x153;U.S. President.â&#x20AC;? Michelle Obama listed her occupation as â&#x20AC;&#x153;U.S. First Lady.â&#x20AC;? They listed 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as their primary address. The first family reported income of $1.7 million for 2010, much of it from the sale of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. They paid federal taxes of $453,770. Their adjusted gross income for 2010 was far b e low t h e $ 5 .5 m illion t h ey reported for 2009, also mostly from book sales. Carney said Obama earned even less in 2011 because of â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluctuationsâ&#x20AC;? in book sales. For Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax return looks almost identical to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. R et u r n s for 2 0 1 1 r eleased b y t he W h i te Hou se sh ow t h e B id en s p aid $87,900 in federal taxes on adjusted gross income of $379,035. Their income was $143 below their 2010 return, but their tax bill was $1,274 higher. In both cases, the effective tax rate was just over 23 percent. On the latest return, the Bidens listed $5,540 in donations to charity. Most of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income came from the vice presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary of $225,521 and Mrs. Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wages of just over $82,000 for teaching at Northern Virginia Community College.

Goddard, Roswell split pair Section

Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Not many people left Saturday’s District 4-4A doubleheader between crosstown rivals Goddard and Roswell satisfied. Fans and players alike battled gusting winds and a marathon double dip that lasted nearly six hours only to see the two teams split the two games. Roswell got its win in Game 1 with a 4-3 triumph and Goddard answered back with a 14-9 win in Game 2. “No, we’re not happy (with a split),” said God-

dard coach Alan Edmonson after the conclusion of the second game, which ended as the sun disappeared from view behind Goddard High School. “But, we’re trying to overcome a little adversity over here, so the kids did well and responded (to that). Sometimes, you take a moral victory when you get one.” Roswell’s Dane Kyser felt like his team had a good chance to sweep both ends with the Rockets playing without several starters due to disciplinary reasons, so he was pretty disappointed after walking away with a split.

E-mail: sports@rdrnews.com

“Absolutely, there was no reason why we shouldn’t have taken two from them,” he said. “But, 10-plus walks, hit-by-pitches, six errors, leaving bases loaded, you’re not going to win like that, it doesn’t matter who you’re playing.” The scenario Kyser described was exactly why Roswell couldn’t complete the sweep in Game 2. Goddard (11-9, 2-2 district) benefitted from six walks, two hit batsmen and six Coyote errors to walk away with a five-run win in the second game. All that, combined with 10 Rocket hits, helped the Rockets score four in the

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS PETTERSSON IN FRONT AFTER 3RD ROUND

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Carl Pettersson had a run of five straight birdies on the front nine and finished with a birdie on the 18th hole for a 66 and a one-stroke lead over Colt Knost after the third round of the RBC Heritage on Saturday. Pettersson held a threestroke lead through 10 holes, yet was tied with Knost after the 15th. Pettersson moved in front with the round’s final putt, an 8-foot birdie on Harbour Town Golf Links signature closing hole. Knost’s roller coaster of a round included an eagle on No. 2 and several missed fairways on the tight holes of Harbour Town Golf Links. Still, he kept close enough with a 69. He’ll be paired with Pettersson again Sunday in the chase for his first PGA Tour win. Zach Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, shot a 66 to move to third at 8 under, three behind the leaders. Two-time RBC Heritage champion Boo Weekley had a 70 and was in fourth another shot behind. Defending champ Brandt Snedeker (69), Kevin Na (70) and Robert Garrigus (70) were next at 6 under. World No. 1 Luke Donald failed to make a move toward keeping the top spot, his even-par 71 leaving him at 2 over and tied for 52nd. Donald needs to finish eighth or better to fend off No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who like Masters champion Bubba Watson and most other top golfers, was taking the week off. Pettersson threatened to turn the tournament into a runaway with his early birdie streak. Knost would not let that happen, overcoming some unsteady play to keep close to his playing partner. It sure wasn’t easy for Knost.

Local briefs: Broncos drop 2, Dexter falls to Eunice

The NMMI college baseball team fell to 935 with a pair of losses to New Mexico JC on Saturday. NMMI fell 10-3 in Game 1 and dropped the nightcap, 17-2. In the first game, the Thunderbirds scored five runs on six hits and two Bronco errors in the top of the first and never let NMMI back in the game. The Broncos cut the lead to 5-1 when Sam Turcotte ripped an RBI-single in the home half of the second, but New Mexico JC plated three runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth to put the game out of reach. Steven De La Cruz led the Broncos with two hits and an RBI in Game 1, while Elvis Perez drove in a run. Abdel Rivera was charged with the loss for the Broncos. Game 2 started out much the same as the first, as the Thunderbirds scored six runs in the first inning to take control of the game. NMMI cut the lead to 6-2 in the second, but New Mexico JC answered with a threerun third to regain momentum. The Thunderbirds scored two in the fourth and six in the fifth to end the game in five innings.

The Cardinals took a 3-0 lead in the first inning and after the Demons knotted the game at three in the fourth, Eunice reclaimed the lead with a run in the bottom of the fourth. Dexter coach Archie Duran said that his team played well considering that he was missing some of his regular players. “We played a good game,” he said. “We had four starters that couldn’t make the trip and I had to bring up some eighth-graders. We had our chances and left nine runners on base, but that is about as good as we could have played (without our full team).” Dominic Lomeli and Justin Salas each had two hits for Dexter.

Darvish, making his second start, was removed after hitting Jamey Carroll and walking Justin Morneau to load the bases with two outs in the sixth. He allowed two runs — one ear ned — on nine hits, striking out four and walking four. The Japanese sensation See TEXAS, Page B2

Goddard scored four runs in the second off of just one hit — a two-run double by Cameron Neff. Those four runs put Goddard ahead 4-3. Roswell briefly took the lead back in the top of the third when Nigel Rubio scored Stephen Lucero on a single and then scored two batters later on a wild pitch. That made it 5-4 in favor of Roswell, but the lead lasted just two at-bats in Goddard’s half of the third. Courtesy runner Colton Perry tied the game at 5-5 on Kelsey Cunningham’s double off Roswell’s Steven Martinez, who took the loss, and Cunnigham put the Rockets ahead for good when he crossed on a wild pitch during Neff’s at-bat. Goddard put up three more in the inning to help Mark McCool, who got the win, and was never seriously threatened again “We put a few youngsters in there and we just told them, ‘This is what we need you to do’ and they did it,” Edmonson said about the second game. “They didn’t fight some of the things we were asking them to do and they made sure that they made contact.

“They hit the ball behind runners quite a bit and they used the right side of the field a lot to move base runners over a couple of bases. There was a lot less striking out when runners were in scoring position. It was just some young guys making some good plays and good adjustments for us.” Kyser said he couldn’t put his finger on what changed from the first game to the second game. “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t know if the wind wore them down and made them tired or whatever, but I’m not one that subscribes to excuses.” Roswell (2-16, 1-3) didn’t need excuses in the first game. The Coyotes never let Goddard pull away and, in the seventh, came through in the clutch to capture its first win over the Rockets under Kyser. Goddard took a 3-0 lead in the fourth and led 3-2 with one out in the seventh when Adam Brown came on to pitch with a pair of runners on. Brown gave up an RBI single to the first batter he faced, Lucero, which plated David Herrera to tie the game at 3-3. Black Winchester then walked to load the bases before Robert Gonzalez

struck out for the second out of the inning. Ryan Orona delivered the game-winning hit in the next at-bat. The senior drove a single to the grass, plating James Singleton from third to put

MIAMI (AP) — Carlos Lee drove in the tying run with a two-out single in the ninth inning, and an error by left fielder Logan Morrison allowed the go-ahead run to score Saturday night as the Houston Astros rallied to beat closer Heath Bell and the Miami Marlins 5-4. Bell, one of the Marlins’ All-Star acquisitions this offseason, took the mound with a 4-1 lead to start the ninth but had a shaky performance for the third time in as many outings this season. The Astros had four hits in the inning and scored four times, taking advantage of three Miami errors. The last miscue was by Morrison, who misjudged a slicing fly hit by Brian Bogusevic. Morrison staggered and fell as he tried to catch it, and the ball glanced off the heel of his glove, allowing a runner to score from third. Rhiner Cruz (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings. Brett Myers followed with a perfect ninth for his second save. Bell (0-2), booed when he departed after retiring only two of the seven batters he faced, blew a save for the second time in as many

chances. Fireworks in nearby downtown Miami began going off when the home team led 4-2 but was still two outs from victory. Soon it was the Astros doing the celebrating. Jose Altuve doubled with one out in the ninth to start Houston’s comeback, and took third when center fielder Emilio Bonifacio bobbled the ball for an error. Pinchhitter Travis Buck singled home a run, and Jordan Schafer reached on catcher’s interference. With two outs, J.D. Martinez hit an RBI single. Lee followed with a tying single on the first pitch. The rally cost Carlos Zambrano his first win for the Marlins. He overcame six walks in six innings and allowed only one run. Houston starter Bud Norris gave up four runs in six innings. The Astros, last in the majors in 2011 with a 25-56 road record, improved to 1-1 on their first trip of the year and won in Miami for the first time since 2010. Announced attendance in the Marlins’ new 36,442seat ballpark was 31,659, but for the second consecutive night there were about

10,000 empty seats. Fans are still waiting to see the animated home run sculpture in action, because the Marlins have yet to homer at home through three games. Hitters are beginning to grumble that the fences are tough to reach, and that was again the case. With the retractable roof open, Hanley Ramirez hit a 400foot flyout to center in the first inning. Houston’s Jed Lowrie had a warning-track flyout in the third — the fifth in the series for the two teams. Zambrano walked Schafer three times and Martinez twice, but he stranded seven runners in the first four innings, and others were erased on the bases. The Marlins scored three times on the third. Ramirez, who was off to a 4-for -31 start, put the Marlins ahead with an RBI single. Morrison followed with a sacrifice fly, and a run-scoring single by Gaby Sanchez made it 41. Morrison had a two-out RBI single in the first. In the first three innings, Zambrano walked five, but the lone run scored on a first-inning single by Lee.

did his best work when he was in trouble on Saturday. The Twins loaded the bases in the second and the fifth, but Darvish struck out Carroll in the second and Ryan Doumit in the fifth to escape. Darvish also prevented a run in the fourth by tagging out Doumit at home when a pitch in the dirt bounced away from catcher Mike Napoli. Robbie Ross (1-0) relieved Darvish and got Morneau to pop out in foul territory to end Minnesota’s bases-loaded threat in the sixth. Twins starter Nick Blackburn was matching Darvish before leaving with one out in the sixth with right shoulder stiffness. He is day to day. Brian Duensing (0-1) relieved Blackburn and got out of the sixth without allowing a run. Jef f Gray relieved Duensing with runners on first and third in the seventh and allowed RBI singles to Beltre and

Michael Young, making it 4-2. Mitch Moreland, the Rangers regular first baseman, was a latescratch after being up most of the night with a painful abscessed tooth. Snyder was given his first start of the season and made the most of it. Hamilton hit a 425foot shot that sailed over the right-field bleachers and bounced high off the Target Field pavilion. Texas added two runs in the ninth on Beltre’s double and T revor Plouffe’s throwing error. Joe Nathan, the Twins all-time saves leader, pitched the ninth in his first appearance in Minnesota since signing with the Rangers in the offseason. After scoring 16 runs in taking two games from the Angels, Minnesota’s offensive struggles have returned. The Twins left 15 runners on base and have scored two runs or fewer in all of their losses. NOTES: Manager Ron Washington said he hopes to get Moreland back for Tuesday’s game against Boston.

Red Sox place CF Ellsbury on 15-day DL

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are looking for someone to help fill the leadoff spot with the loss of Jacoby Ellsbury. The Red Sox placed Ellsbury on the 15day disabled list with a partially dislocated right shoulder before Saturday’s game against Tampa Bay. The club recalled outfielder Che-Hsuan Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Ellsbury’s spot on the roster. The 23-year old Lin is in the big leagues for the first time. He was 3 for 20 in six games with Pawtucket this season. Ellsbury, the runner-up in last year’s AL MVP voting, injured the shoulder sliding into second in Friday’s 12-2 win in the home opener. Last season Ellsbury batted .321 with 32 homers, 105 RBIs and led the majors with 364 total bases — the most since Bobby Bonds did it with the San Francisco Giants in 1973. Rays shortstop Reid Brignac fell on his shoulder after making a throw to first to complete a double play. Manager Bobby Valentine said Ellsbury was examined Friday night and will continue to be looked at. He didn’t give a timetable for

Ellsbury also was the Red Sox player to steal 30 bases (39) and hit 30 homers. “Maybe it’ll show the idea (of a leadoff hitter) is a little overrated,” Valentine said. The outfielder was not seen in the clubhouse before the game, but tweeted “Thanks for all the well wishes. Sublexed (partially dislocated) my right shoulder in yesterday’s game.

Kobe Bryant likely to sit out Sunday vs. Dallas

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Kobe Bryant probably will miss his fifth consecutive game when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Lakers coach Mike Brown says the NBA scoring leader is likely to take another game off to rest his bruised left shin. The Lakers are 3-1 without Bryant, beating the Denver Nuggets 103-97 on Friday night. Bryant is walking comfortably on his leg without protection, but hasn’t tried running or jumping with the injury yet. The Lakers have six games left before the postseason after clinching a playoff berth Friday. Brown returned to the Lakers for Saturday’s practice after missing Friday’s game to deal with an undisclosed personal matter. Brown wouldn’t elaborate on the reason he abruptly left Staples Center shortly before game time.

NFL

Like Mongo, players pawn in bigger game

There’s a new face behind the head injury lawsuits against the NFL, a former AllPro defensive end from the Detroit Lions some may recognize better as the lovable lug of a father from the 1980s sitcom “Webster.” Before that, Alex Karras played the equally lovable Mongo in “Blazing Saddles,” uttering one of the movie’s best lines when he declared: “Mongo only pawn in game of life.” He’s 76 now, and suffering from dementia. His wife said this week that a man who used to love to drive his cars can no longer get behind the wheel. She said a man who used to be an amazing cook of Italian and Greek food doesn’t cook anymore because he can’t remember what his recipes were. He’s among 1,200 former players now suing the NFL, claiming the league misled players about the risks of head injuries and was negligent about their treatment. Many of them are suffering from brain damage, and none of them are getting any better. For the most part, fans seem to have pretty much discarded them as yesterday’s news. They would rather focus on whether the Cleveland Browns should draft an offensive lineman in the fourth round than whether a former journeyman linebacker or backup safety can tie his shoes or remember what house he lives in. “It’s the same thing as back in the gladiator days when the gladiators fought to death,” said attorney Craig Mitnick, who represents Karras and hundreds of others in the suit. “Fans care about these guys when they’re playing and they are heroes. But as soon as you’re not a hero and not playing the fan doesn’t really care what happens to them.” Maybe it’s time we started caring. Debate the merits of the suit all you want — and the NFL will certainly do so — there’s no doubt a lot of former players are paying the price for taking hits to the head during a time when the significance of concussions was either minimized or not entirely known. Some you may not have ever heard of, or have long forgotten about. Others were once your heroes, taking the field every Sunday for a big paycheck and the chance to bring glory to the franchise. Jim McMahon was one of those guys. The quarterback who helped bring Chicago a Super Bowl championship was a rebel who clashed with the league, and a fan favorite who prided himself on his toughness and ability to take a hit. Now his girlfriend programs the GPS for their house in case he gets lost, and he gets angry and frustrated at all the things he can’t recall. “I won’t remember a hell of a lot about this interview in about 10 minutes,” he said in a recent interview on ESPN’s “Outside The Lines.” Tony Dorsett is a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest running backs in the history of the league. At 57 he’s still relatively young, but the former Dallas Cowboy already forgets people’s names or where he’s heading while driving on the highway. Doctors have told him he’s not getting enough oxygen in the left lobe of his brain, and he fears his memory issues are getting worse. Yet he and other retirees have no medical insurance from the league, no compensation for their deteriorating health other than the money they earned while they were in the field. “Yeah, I understand you paid me to do this, but still yet, I put my life on the line for you, I put my health on the line,” Dorsett told The Associated Press just before the Super Bowl. “And yet when the time comes, you turn your back on me? That’s not right. That’s not the American way.” Other names you might recognize who are plaintiffs include former Lions cornerback Lem Barney, Buffalo offensive lineman Joe DeLamielleure, and Brent Boyd, a former Vikings offensive lineman. Boyd’s lawyers say he is the only living player to be diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative disease often found in boxers who have taken too many punches to the head. They’ve come forward for help, and in doing so they’ve put a human face on the lawsuits.

At issue in the lawsuits is whether the NFL either turned the other cheek when it came to blows to the head, or was willfully negligent. As late as 2009, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared before Congress and would not acknowledge a link between head injuries suffered on the field and brain diseases later in life. That’s changed for the most part, with the league now actively involved in concussion studies. There’s a 10-year, $100 million program in place now to study ways to limit and respond to concussion-related injuries, and there is now strict protocol in place for players who show signs of concussions. The penalties handed down recently by Goodell in the Saints bounty case went far beyond what many in the league expected, almost surely because he realized the delicacy of the issue in light of the lawsuits over brain damage. There’s also the “88 plan,” co-funded by the league and the player’s union and named after the late Hall of Fame tight end John Mackey’s number. Mackey died at the age of 69 after a long battle with dementia, but not before he and his wife helped bring about the creation of the plan that provides help to those with dementia. Forgive most of those left behind, though, if they feel like they’ve been cast off and forgotten. The league didn’t take care of them then, and it’s not taking care of them now. Some made a lot of money, sure. Many others didn’t, and they’re hurting in a lot of ways from playing a sport where hurt is a given. Much like Mongo, they were only pawns in the game of the NFL.

Newton: Improvement as NFL QB “through the roof”

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton now has a huge statue of himself to go along with his Heisman Trophy and AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. He also has outsized expectations for Year 2. “With reviewing all the games from last year, I feel that the improvement is through the roof for me,” said Newton, a few hours after Auburn unveiled statues of him and fellow Tigers Heisman Trophy winners Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan. “I’ve had the whole offseason to work on the things that I feel like I need to get better at (and that) will come into fruition. With the upcoming OTAs, I feel like that’s another time for me to get better.” Newton thrived as a rookie despite taking a crash course in mastering an NFL offense after a lockout wiped out most of the offseason. Now, he’s also got the security of having Steve Smith around for at least three more years after the wide receiver signed a contract extension on Tuesday. “Having him back is a big thing for not only me as my whole evolution is going to change — to have his leadership there — but for the whole team,” Newton said. “We need Smitty not for what he does at the receiver position but for the leader that he is,

Sunday, April 15, 2012 how much he holds everybody accountable. “I’m excited for him.” Newton got an enthusiastic reception from fans before the Tigers’ spring game, blowing a kiss to the crowd. He only spent one season at Auburn but led the team to the 2010 national title and won the Heisman. Jackson captured the trophy in 1985 and Sullivan in 1971. Both have long been Auburn icons, but Newton got his own statue less than 28 months after signing to play for the Tigers. “God works in mysterious ways,” Newton said. His 1,900-pound bronze statue features him running with the ball tucked into his right arm, a sign of his versatility as a quarterback. Newton said he still has “a warmth in my heart” for Auburn despite his relatively short stay. “Every Saturday I was in that team hotel glued to the tube, trying to find out what in the world we were doing so I could have bragging rights,” he said of last fall. He and Jackson, a former NFL and Major League Baseball player, playfully dodged any debate about who is Auburn’s best athlete. “I think...” began Newton, getting interrupted by Jackson. “To be honest with you, the best athlete to ever come out of Auburn University is Charles Barkley,” Jackson said. Countered Newton: “Uncross your fingers.” The university also erected a bust of John Heisman since Auburn was the only school he coached that has produced a winner of the award that bears his name. “It’s a unique club,” Jackson said. “There’s only been 76 of those trophies handed out over the years, and we have three of them. It’s almost like, wow. It’s almost like finding a rare coin that doesn’t exist anymore and you come across it. And we have three right here in Auburn.”

Foster’s NFL mock draft, take two B4 Sunday, April 15, 2012

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Part of the fun of mock drafts and the entire draft process is comparing and contrasting them. That really hasn’t been the case this year. Since my first mock draft on April 1, it seems as if draft experts (I use that term loosely) have collaborated on the draft, because there isn’t any big difference in any of the main mocks. The three writers I put the most faith in (Don Banks, Todd McShay and Mel Kiper) have an almost identical top half of the draft, which is unheard of. The part of me that loves the chaos of draft day is hoping that the uniformity in mocks is a forebear of an unpredictable and exciting draft process. The writer in me hopes not because I would really like to nail at least 60 percent of these picks. Just a reminder, my final mock draft will run on April 26, which is when the first round will be held.

1.) Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck, QB Nothing new at the top. Luck is all but assured of being the No. 1 pick and I still would take RG3 over the Stanford product. That’s not to say Luck won’t live up to the hype, but after watching Cam Newton tear up the NFL last year, having a more polished Robert Griffin III would have me salivating if I owned a franchise. But bacon makes me salivate too, so yeah. 2.) Washington Redskins Robert Griffin III, QB No change here either.

SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

The Redskins end up with arguably the most dynamic playmaker in the draft and a player who automatically becomes the face of the franchise. If Mike Shannahan can’t make his offense work with RG3, it’s time he surrender his of fensive genius certificate.

3.) Minnesota Vikings Matt Kalil, OT This is where things can, and hopefully do, get very interesting. Ryan Tannehill is skyrocketing up draft boards and if a team wants to guarantee itself the third best signal caller (experts’ opinion, not mine) in the draft, they will have to trade up to the three-spot. I never have and never will predict trades in the NFL draft because, as foolish as mock drafts are, mocking trades is even worse. If the Vikings can’t find a suitable trade partner, they won’t be too upset because they get the best tackle in the draft to protect Christian Ponder.

4.) Cleveland Browns Trent Richardson, RB The first change of my mock draft involves the Brownies. In my first mock, I had Cleveland selecting Morris Claiborne with the idea that the strength of this draft is the depth of the skill positions. From everything I have read, Richardson is a near unanimous selection at No. 4. I could still see the Browns going with Claiborne, but getting a game-changer at running back is too tempting for them to pass on. Corner can be addressed with Cleveland’s second first-round pick. I will add this here so I don’t have to with every other pick: Until Tannehill is selected, each pick could be traded to a

5.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers Morris Claiborne, CB In my first take on the draft, Tampa selected Richardson, but with the Alabama product being selected at No. 4, the Bucs select the best corner available. Although Ronde Barber is coming back and seemingly can play forever, Tampa has to prepare for the time when he will retire. Also, with Aquib Talib’s off-the-field troubles, corner is the obvious choice here. 6.) St. Louis Rams Justin Blackmon, WR While there were some changes to the Top 5 of this

mock, the board still falls in the Rams’ favor. Before St. Louis traded out of the No. 2 slot, it was likely that it would have taken Blackmon at that point. Considering the haul the Rams got for the No. 2 pick and that they still get their man, there is reason to celebrate under the Arch.

7.) Jacksonville Jaguars Melvin Ingram, DE/OLB To my teachers that said, “The more you read, the more you learn,” OK, I believe you. In my previous mock, I had the Jags taking Riley Reiff to help solidify their offensive line. Since then, however, nearly everything I have read says that Jacksonville will lean toward solidifying its defense with a

pass rusher. With that in mind, the Jaguars take Melvin Ingram, who immediately upgrades an anemic pass rush. Coples is also a consideration at this point, but Ingram does not have as many question marks as Coples and is far more versatile.

8.) Miami Dolphins Ryan Tannehill, QB Assuming that there isn’t a trade before the Dolphins selection to take him, Miami will run to the podium to hand in the card for Tannehill. After an offseason that has only dampered expectations for the fish, the Dolphins desperately need a face of the franchise and Tannehill will be that. I personally think he is going to be a complete bust, but, with the lack of a franchise quarterback, Miami takes the plunge on Tannehill. 9.) Carolina Panthers Fletcher Cox, DT Defensive line help is definitely needed and, in my first mock, I had the Panthers taking Quinton Coples. Coples is still a possibility, but much like Dontari Poe, there are a lot of questions about motor and effort, which is why Carolina will take the safer Cox. Saying Cox is a safer pick isn’t a knock on his skills, but when it comes to players of similar skill level, I would take safer over a gamble.

Andrew Luck is the No. 1 pick in everything but formality. The former Stanford signal caller will have the unenviable task of replacing Peyton Manning in Indianapolis.

10. ) Buffalo Bills Riley Reiff, OT It is time that Buf falo drafts an offensive tackle to stop the revolving door that has been left tackle. Luke Kuechly, who I had the Bills taking in the first mock, is still available, but Buddy Nix and company take the offensive tackle. Reiff will make an already potent running game more

formidable and will enable Chan Gailey to dial up down-the-field more throws. Michael Floyd is also a possibility here.

11.) Kansas City Chiefs Luke Kuechly, LB Kuechly is one of the, if not the, safest picks in this draft. Barring injury, I can’t see Kuechly not being a 10year starter and Pro Bowl per for mer. Scouts have compared him to Dallas’ Sean Lee and that is high praise. Kuechly is a threedown linebacker who can stuff a running play at the line one play and drop back to deflect a pass on the next. With all the players they have coming back and the new additions, the Chiefs are going to be a dark-horse contender this year.

12.) Seattle Seahawks Quinton Coples, DE This seems to be another consensus pick among the draft experts. I very nearly pulled the trigger on Michael Floyd here, but Coples’ upside was too much to pass on. As noted above, Coples has questions about his game, particularly when it comes to his motor. That is why the Seahawks are a perfect fit for him. Pete Carroll is a great motivator and his passion and energy for the game will rub off on Coples. If anyone can get the most out of Coples, it is Carroll.

13.) Arizona Cardinals Michael Floyd, WR If Floyd falls this far, and the Cardinals can get just average play out of Kevin Kolb or John Skelton at quarterback, the Cardinals will be an of fensive machine. For many teams, Floyd would be a No. 1 wideout, but with Larry See MOCK, Page B5

Mock

Continued from Page B4

Fitzgerald entrenched at the top slot, Floyd becomes one of the best No. 2 receivers in the league. If Floyd is gone by this point, which is a realistic possibility, I could see Arizona taking an offensive tackle or linebacker. 14.) Dallas Cowboys Mark Barron, S This pick could go anywhere, other than the offensive side of the ball. Dallas could use help along the defensive line, at corner and at safety. Dontari Poe will be strongly considered here, but the Cowboys need a safety who can do it all and Barron fits the bill. Barron is a force in both the running and passing games and will solidify the backend of a porous secondary.

15.) Philadelphia Eagles Dontari Poe, DT After the Jason Peters injury, this pick could have been an offensive tackle, but the Eagles filled that void with the signing of Demetress Bell. Linebacker was also a need a few weeks ago, but Philadelphia pulled a fast one on the Texans and got DeMeco Ryans for a fourth-round pick. With those two holes filled, the Eagles can focus on a run defense that was nothing short of horrendous last year. In that light, Philadelphia takes Poe, despite the question marks. Andy Reid is the type of coach who can take a bit of a risk with this pick and if Poe lives up to his potential, the Eagles may get the steal of the draft here. 16.) New York Jets Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB Ahhh, the good ole J-ET-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. What a mess they are going to have on their hands when Sanchez inevitably has a poor game and the fans start calling for Tebow. The smart move would be to upgrade an anemic offense, but little the Jets do makes sense (case in point, the trade for Tebow). New York selects Courtney Upshaw, which does make sense, in a way. The Jets defense lacks a pass rush and Upshaw can provide that and the versatility to play outside linebacker or put his hand in the dirt as a defensive end.

17.) Cincinnati Bengals David DeCastro, OG In my last mock, I had Floyd falling all the way to the Bengals in this slot. That isn’t going to happen, so Cincy goes ahead and takes the best of fensive lineman remaining in DeCastro. Much attention was paid to Andy Dalton and AJ Green last year (rightfully so), but, for the Bengals to be a true contender, they have to have a more potent running game. That is why DeCastro is the perfect fit here — He is a road grader and is above average in pass protection.

18.) San Diego Chargers Cordy Glenn OG/OT If Upshaw drops this far, the Chargers will gobble him up, but in this scenario, upgrading the offensive line is the obvious choice. Glenn offers versatility that is a necessity to be successful in today’s NFL and he can start from Day 1 at right tackle. I was able to watch a few of Georgia’s games this past season and Glenn has a mean streak that makes him a force in the running game. With a few years of seasoning, he could eventually step in at left tackle. 19.) Chicago Bears Whitney Mercilus, DE Quite a change from my first mock when I had ’Da Bears taking Kendall Wright. The change in direction comes from looking at the quarterbacks Chicago has to face twice a year — Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers. Mercilus attended Illinois and

will draw some attention away from Julius Peppers. Of fensive tackle, wide receiver and corner are also possibilities.

draws and the attention that will be paid to Arian Foster, Hill will have his fair share of one-on-one coverage.

21.) Cincinnati Bengal Kendall Wright, WR Among my friends, this has been one of the most heated discussions because of Stephen Hill. They argue that Hill is more of a burner, which is true, and, that because of that, he is more valuable. What they constantly overlook, however, is that the Bengals already have a speedster in AJ Green. What they lack is a compliment to Green and Wright is the perfect candidate. Wright is more refined at intermediate and short routes and has the strength and power to break a tackle and turn a quick slant into a big play. Wright would also add a spark in the return game.

28.) Green Bay Packers Andre Branch, DE/OLB Surprisingly enough, I am sticking with Branch for the Packers despite the recent surge of USC’s Nick Perry. The reason I lean toward Branch is his ability to play OLB and end for Green Bay. The argument for Branch is the same as in my first mock, so I won’t bother rehashing it. Perry and Janoris Jenkins should also be on the Packers’ radar.

20.) Tennessee Titans Dre Kirkpatrick, CB After losing Cortland Finnegan in free agency, the T itans draft his replacement at No. 20. If this pick was based just on potential, I would take Janoris Jenkins. There are too many red flags with Jenkins, however, and Tennessee has already been down the troubled corner route with Adam “Pacman” Jones. Michael Brockers, who I had going here in my first draft, is still a possibility.

22.) Cleveland Browns Mike Adams, OT Same position, different tackle in this mock draft. Why the switch to Adams over Jonathan Martin, who can still be had here? Simple, Adams is more of a typical right tackle than Martin and that is what the Browns desperately need. Adams is a monster of a man and given that Cleveland took Richardson at No. 4, Adams’ run blocking ability makes him the selection over Martin.

Sunday, April 15, 2012

27.) New England Patriots Shae McClellin, OLB I have mentioned some variation of shooting up a draft board a few times thus far, but if I had to limit the use of that to one player, it would be McClellin. McClellin is the type of prospect “The Hoodie” loves. The Boise State product is smart and versatile, two of the most important traits in a defensive player for the Pats. McClellin should be able to transition to OLB after playing defensive line with the Broncos.

29.) Baltimore Ravens Kevin Zeitler, OG Zeitler becomes the second player to be drafted in the first round after being left out in the cold in the first mock. The interior of Baltimore’s offensive line could use some youth and Zeitler is the mauler that Baltimore covets. Jonathan Martin is also a possibility here, but he just doesn’t seem to be a fit with what the Ravens like to do. If one of the receivers falls to 29,

Melvin Ingram will be jumping for joy when he is the first defensive lineman drafted.

that could trump the need for offensive line help.

30.) San Francisco 49ers Kendall Reyes, DT A shout-out must go to my best friend, Cory Dungan, for an assist with this pick. After he read my first mock, he dutifully told me how awesome it was and I am, but pointed out that he wasn’t too pleased with my selection of Coby Fleener. After listening to his reasoning of Fleener being a luxury pick, I realized that he was correct and that the 49ers could really use some youth on the defensive line. Reyes is the best available defensive lineman at this point and will make an already elite defense more

intimidating. 31.) New England Patriots Jerel Worthy, DT New England’s defensive overhaul continues with the addition of Worthy. The scary thing about the Patriots is that, with the selection of McClellin and now Worthy, a former weakness (the front seven) has now become a strength. If New England’s defense can morph into a top-10 unit and Brady stays healthy, the NFL may be looking at another run at perfection. As a Bills fan, that hurts to say.

32.) New York Giants Jonathan Martin, OT Like with the 49ers, I went with a luxury pick for the Giants because, as

Super Bowl champions, they deserve some luxury. But with two weeks to dwell on it, I decided that the Giants have won two Super Bowls recently by being smart with all of their draft picks. The smart move here is Martin, who has the smarts and tools to be a starter for a decade.

As an added bonus, here are some players to keep an eye on in the next few rounds — Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden, David Wilson, Dough Martin, LaMichael James, Alshon Jeffery, Peter Konz, Coby Fleener, Jared Crick, Vinny Curry, Lavonte David, Janoris Jenkins, Jayron Hosley and Harrison Smith. l.foster@rdrnews.com

23.) Detroit Lions Stephon Gilmore, CB Just like with Cleveland’s pick at No. 22, I think the Lions will take a corner, just not the one I had picked in my first mock, Janoris Jenkins. In light (no pun intended) of the Lions’ recent drug problems, they will shy away from the troubled Jenkins and take Gilmore. The South Carolina product has been steadily climbing draft boards thanks to his speed and coverage ability. Jonathan Martin is also a possibility.

24.) Pittsburgh Steelers Dont’a Hightower, LB Talk about a match made in heav... steel. The Steelers take the draft’s secondhighest rated linebacker and one who was wellschooled in a 3-4 defense while at Alabama. Hightower will blend right in with Lamar Woodley and James Harrison, which is a scary thought for the rest of the AFC North.

25.) Denver Broncos Michael Brockers, DT In my first mock, I had the Broncos taking Stephen HIll to give Peyton Manning a fast toy to play with. Manning will have to wait for his new weapon, however, as Denver does the smart thing and solidifies its defensive line. The Broncos had a potent passrushing duo in Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil, but lacked an impact player in the middle. Brockers will be that player and will disrupt the running and passing game by collapsing the pocket.

26.) Houston Texans Stephen Hill, WR In an ideal world, Kendall Wright would fall to the Texans here, but, as we all know, the world is rarely ideal. Houston has to settle for the speedy Hill to line up opposite of Andre Johnson. That will prove to be a nightmare for opposing defenses because with the double team that Johnson

Loyd Green

Loyd Green was born on April 15, 1912. At sunrise on April 13, 2012, two days short of his 100th birthday, he went to be with his Lord forever. Our heroes have always been cowboys, champions, pioneers. Those with the amazing capacity to embrace life and live it to its fullest with love of God, integrity and great laughter. Loyd Green was just such a hero and true pioneer. From his barrel chest to his bow-legs, he was a cowboy through and through. He was bor n in Wise County, Texas, to Minnie Lee and Joe Green. He had nine older brothers and sisters. The family moved to New Mexico in 1914 in a covered wagon and homesteaded near Bledsoe. His first house in New Mexico was a sod dugout until the family could build a home. As with any true pioneer family, his home was established with a lot of love and lots of prayer. Loyd remembered often seeing his father and mother holding hands and praying over their family. In his chest beat the true heart of a cowboy — born to ride and herd cattle. At age 13, he worked alongside his brother, Harry, as a wrangler on one of the last cattle drives from New Mexico to Amarillo, Texas. He made the rodeo circuits in his younger days and even did some trick riding. He shod horses, worked on ranches and was jack of all trades. Loyd married and settled down in Roswell in his early 20s and worked several jobs. But even as the era of the real western cowboy dwindled, and in some areas died out, it never did in his heart. As with all heroes, he had special powers. One of these was to repair anything mechanical. He worked several jobs before becoming a master mechanic for McNally Hall. Later, he worked for Valley Chevrolet for 32 years and also worked at Walker Air Force Base doing civil service work during World War II, overhauling ethylene glycol pumps and performing maintenance on planes and pumps. After retiring from Valley Chevrolet, he taught auto mechanics for Thiokol Chemical Corp. for six years. Next he shared more than just his automotive knowledge, but also his integrity and love of people at Dexter High School for six years, until he retired in 1982. But he never really retired, because he worked until he was in his mid-90s for his son-in-law, Jimmy Pack on the family farms. Another of his special powers was the ability to make others laugh. He was a wonderful storyteller and loved to tell stories about his life on the plains and old homestead that usually concluded in a burst of laughter. When Loyd laughed, everyone laughed along with him. He had that amazing, contagious laughter that no one could resist! For many years, until just recently, he met regularly for coffee with a group of friends that he had worked with and known for decades. They called themselves the Old What’s-His-Name-Club, because they would sit and reminisce about old times and try to remember who did what. Laughter was truly a gift that Loyd brought to every setting. A man of God with great integrity, Loyd was never content to sit on the side-

lines. He served the community as a Chaves County Sherif f’s Posse member beginning in the 1970s. He also served in his church as a Sunday school teacher, and as a board member for many years. His students, whether from Sunday school or from his instruction at Thiokol and Dexter High School, remembered him fondly as a man of character who really cared about them and their futures. But he never abandoned his love of being a cowboy, and he continued riding and working with horses and mules and participated in many trail rides in this area and to mountain summits in Lincoln and the Big Bend areas. He rode well into his 80s, and even won awards in Mule, Western Pleasure and Reining events. He enjoyed camping, riding, ranching and spending time with his family. Loyd Green was truly one of those who embraced the life that God had blessed him with. He lived it to the fullest and yet we still feel like almost 100 years was too short a lifespan. But perhaps it’s because just like in the movies, we’re never really ready for our hero the cowboy to ride away. Loyd was preceded in his death and home-going by his son, Marshal Green; a daughter, Jill O’Neal, and two great-granddaughters, Samantha O’Neal, and Krystle Knowlton Stephenson, who passed away April 3, 2012. He is survived by his wife Ellen (Tootsie) Green, who resides at their home; daughter, Wanda Pack and her husband Jimmy; son, Jackie Lee Green and his wife Mary; daughter, Jackie Waggoner and her husband Terry; and daughter-in-law Anna Green. He has many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-greatgrandchildren, as well as many, many, members of the loving extended family that consider him their “Dadsy.” Dadsy loved deeply and was very proud of his family. He leaves a rich godly heritage that remains, including many family members who work tirelessly to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. Dadsy always made sure that every person he met understood that this life is only a poor shadow of the glory to come for those who have made Jesus Christ the Lord of their life. One could not be in Dadsy’s presence without acknowledging the sweet, calm spirit that exemplified his total love of God, life and of service to others. Visitation will be at Anderson-Bethany Funeral home on Sunday, April 15, 2012, from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday, April 16, 2012, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Tuesday, April 17, 2012, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Services will be Wednesday, April 18, 2012, at 1 p.m., at Waymaker Church, with interment in South Park Cemetery.

Honorary pallbearers are Mark Lewis, Dana Dunlap, Marsha Green, Doug Robinson, Tom Dunlap, Tim Wafful, Pat Bowen, Vernon Fanner, Vincent Master, Tom Wadsworth and Paul Sorensen. The family wishes to thank Advanced Home Health, Dr. Steve Mohr, Vista Care Hospice Services, Casa Maria staff and their physical therapy staff for their guidance and caring help in serving Dadsy during his time of need. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Loyd’s honor to a trust established for his recently-decreased greatgranddaughter Krystle Dawn Knowlton Stephenson’s two children, Elijah Valor Stephenson and Zyon Alyzabeth Stephenson.

One month of Distracted Driving Awareness is not enough!

I have learned that April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month and, for my money, that’s not enough! Every day of the year we as drivers must maintain an acute awareness of this potentially lethal problem. I am personally aware of at least three incidents which resulted in the deaths of lovely and productive people.

We just love our electronic toys. We have cellphones, iPads, iPods, onboard video systems, navigation devices, and various other distractions, all of which keep us from paying proper attention to our real task at hand, which is driving that car! They are great for sales people and others who

spend a lot of time on the road and can maintain a high level of productivity while they drive to the next sale. And they’re great for young moms whose kids are in the back seat, screaming for the next DVD to watch on their little TVs. But these devices and situations are all dangerous. All distractions endanger the driver, passengers, and other vehicles, pedestrians, or bicyclists that may be in close range. I have alluded to other distracting situations, basically things other than electronic devices, which distract us from proper driving. These might be pets in your lap, watching the scenery, adjusting the radio, eating, reading maps and newspapers, combing

your hair, applying lipstick, or perhaps even just thinking hard about things other than driving. However, my personal hot spot has got to be texting while driving, a horribly dangerous practice, no matter how good you are at touching those letters, numbers and symbols on your phone. No matter what the traffic looks like. When we talk about distractions, there are basical-

ly three versions. One is defined as a visual distraction, which is doing something which requires a driver to look away from the road. Another is a manual distraction, in which we are doing something which requires taking our hands off the steering wheel. And the third is a mental distraction, which may be thinking really hard about something other than driving. Texting involves all three!

The Department of Labor and the Department of Transportation are partnering with OSHA in its distracted driving initiative. These government agencies are initiating public awareness campaigns on the issue of distracted driving. The Department of Trans-

Sunday, April 15, 2012

portation has new rules which were effective January 3, 2012, prohibiting mobile phone activity when operating a commercial motor vehicle, which includes texting, dialing, and reaching for the mobile device. Most of the states are taking a stand against cellphone and text messaging while driving. New Mexico has among the most lenient, I believe, but some of the cities, including Roswell, have passed ordinances governing cellphone use when driving.

As in most things, we as individuals have got to take the initiative. As parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and as just plain citizens and friends, we are the ones who must create an awareness –

maybe even a fear – of texting and other distracted driving. We must educate our children (regardless of their ages!) and we must give strict rules about these things to nannies or caregivers or anyone who carries our loved ones around in cars, SUVs, and other vehicles. It could mean the life of someone you love. We’ve just got to get a handle on this dilemma which we as a society face every day!

ENMMC honoring volunteers for National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week is April 15— 22 and Easter n New Mexico Medical Center is honoring men and women, students and members of the Pastoral Care Program who volunteer their time to help others. The dedicated volunteers have built a foundation of trust, confidence and growth between the hospital and the community. The enormous number of volunteer hours and monetary support provided by the Auxiliary has played an important role in making ENMMC the outstanding health care facility that it is today. The core of the volunteer program is the Auxiliary, a nonprofit organization established in 1958. Its

purpose is to render services to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center and its patients and to assist in promoting the health and welfare of the community. The Auxiliary generates money through sales at the Hospitality and Thrift Shops, memorials, donations and membership dues. As the volunteers have discovered, helping others is one of the most rewarding of all experiences. The care and enthusiasm that volunteers bring to their work helps make each patient’s hospital experience as pleasant as possible. Since 1972, more than $350,000 in scholarships have been awarded to students in the health care field and volunteer hours

total 494,574. The Auxiliary provides educational material and equipment for the hospital. In the past, the Auxiliary contributed significantly to the medical community by funding the fiber optic telecommunication line between ENMMC and UNM Health Sciences Division in Albuquerque. Volunteers are often the first members of the hospital team whom patients and visitors meet. Volunteers provide warm hugs, shoulders to lean on and helping hands. The friendly men and women in pink, red or blue jackets provide information, push patients in wheelchairs, operate the Hospitality Shop, serve early morning cups of coffee in the surgical waiting room, knit baby bonnets,

blankets and booties for newborns and make tray favors for the patients’ food trays, to mention a few of their services. Employees and visitors can enjoy Starbucks coffee in a beautiful, Mediterranean atmosphere thanks to the endeavors of the Auxiliary. With the commission and completion of breathtaking, handpainted murals in the cafeteria, garden level, pediatrics and cancer center, the Auxiliary has created a feeling of comfort, support and calm for visitors, patients and employees. ENMMC Auxiliary Thrift Shop is located at 221 E. Wildy and is open 1 to 4:30 P.M, Monday through Friday. Many Thrift Shop customers have clothed their children and met their fam-

cho. Teams successfully competing in all four KCBS main categories in both N.M. State BBQ competitions will have combined team scores tabulated to qualify for an additional $2,000 cash payout for the top three qualifying teams. The ninth annual Pork and Brew State BBQ Championship is held the very next weekend in Rio Rancho, so it will be convenient to compete for the Governor’s Cup cash over two consecutive weekends. Each competition team will also enjoy a generous, 30’x40’ Pull-Through RV Pad equipped with its own electric and water hookups. (Teams supply own water hose and extension cords). Smokin’ On the Pecos will include The Navajo Refinery Kids’ Q event,

where kids can compete individually or in teams in one of two age divisions (710) or (11-14); as well as The KZ93 Backyard BBQ event for the local, novice backyard smoker/grillers. Ancillary events will include New Mexico Centennial Shootout (a Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association Double World Point Qualifying Shoot), sponsored by Yates Petroleum; Budweiser Beer Garden, sponsored by Hotel Artesia; The Holly Energy Roughstock Challenge (rodeo and open bull riding), presented by Santo Petroleum LLC; a Craft Show; and Live Music Friday and Saturday on the Budweiser stage (did we mention that L ynn Anderson will be with us the whole event?!). We are currently receiv-

ily needs for several generations at the Thrift Shop. The customers are old friends and the volunteers know them by their first names and the names of their children. The Thrift Shop radiates a family atmosphere of warmth and courtesy. The Auxiliary’s Patient Ambassadors assist the nursing team with patient care activities, reinforce patient education and serve as patient advocates. It is easy to recognize the Ambassadors in their crisp, navy uniforms and extended hands offering to help. The positive attitudes, camaraderie, respect and working relationship between patients, employees, physicians and other volunteers are marks of

Porn a dangerous temptation for teenagers Q: I was looking on my teenage son’s computer and noticed that he’s been looking at porn sites. I’m a single mom and just don’t know what to do. I’ve talked with him about how damaging it is for him to look at these things and he continues to do so. How can I help him understand?

Juli: Many teen boys and girls are caught up in Internet porn. It’s an epidemic. I know it feels awkward as a mom to talk to your son about sexual issues. But it’s a discomfort you have to push past for his sake.

Begin by validating the fact that it’s normal for him to struggle. He has a natural, God-given sexual drive, and that’s a good thing! However, when that drive is channeled into casual sex or porn, it’s harmful to him and others. There’s a lot of

shame associated with porn and teen sexuality. Don’t pile on more. However, he needs to understand that porn is poisonous and evil. Many of the women used to make it are sexually trafficked, underage and exploited.

I recommend that you teach your son to play both “defense” and “of fense.” Insist that his computer and other devices have accountability and filtering software such as Safe Eyes or Bsecure.

Of fensively, your son needs encouragement and training from other men on how to handle sexual temptations. Fortunately, there are many church groups addressing this issue. If you’re already involved in a church, help your son get plugged into a youth group or a men’s Bible study that

can help him grow. It’s important that he get a vision not just for what to say “no” to, but what to say “yes” to. Pray that God will bring men into his life to challenge him to be a man of integrity. Q: My wife is a stay-athome mom with our two young children. I don’t think most guys realize how difficult it is to spend every day attending to the needs of little kids. What can I do to help shoulder the load? Jim: Did you hear that?

It’s the sound of moms everywhere shouting “Amen!” You deserve special recognition for raising such a thoughtful question. Here are a few ways you can help: First, when you come home after a long, tiring day, remember that your wife’s day was equally long and tiring. There are two things she needs at this point: 1) adult conversation, including expressions of appreciation for what she’s been doing, and 2) a pair of hands to pitch in

and help with the kids, the dishes and so on. Second, don’t expect to be taken care of like another child. Pick up your own clothes and toys. Third, don’t expect much sexual response if your wife is exhausted and you haven’t done much to help. As my friend, Dr. Kevin Leman, says, “sex begins in the kitchen” — with meaningful conversation, compliments and acts of kindness. Fourth, get involved in the process of getting your kids ready for bed. This will result not only in relief for your wife, but quality time for you with your children. Fifth, maintain a regular date night — a restaurant, a concert, a walk or whatever your imagination and budget can manage. Sixth, if your hours at

work are too long, make every effort to cut back. Don’t fall for the notion that your career is more fulfilling than your life at home. Finally, try to take your wife away for a romantic weekend once in a while, where her daily responsibilities are temporarily suspended. With planning and creativity, this need not be expensive.

Couple enjoy 83 years of love near Paris (Texas) PARIS, Texas (AP) — At ages 17 and 19, Eunice and Lloyd Ford were married in secret late one night by a Baptist preacher in west Paris. Eunice, aided by her aunt, left her parent’s home under the pretense of going to a show in town, but instead met up with her love, Lloyd, and eloped. That was the night of April 9, 1929. Lloyd, 102, and Eunice, 100, recently celebrated their 83rd wedding anniversary. The couple still live in their home of several decades in Rugby, with one of two children, Gary Ford, living next door. The longtime couple still remember their younger days, when Eunice lived in Hugo and Lloyd on the property where Camp Maxey sits today near Powderly — the place they met. Eunice’s grandparents lived near Lloyd’s family and she grew up friends with Lloyd’s sister. Both insist they “never knew the other existed” until their mid-teens. Both families were hard-working farmers. “I didn’t know she was there,” Lloyd said. “I was just a little squirt and she was even smaller.” “We would go down there in a wagon, work all day, come in and milk a cow, feed the hog if we had one, and just live like you want to,” Eunice said. When Lloyd and Eunice “started going together,” and began talking of marriage, Lloyd had a spat with Eunice’s father, and rather than Lloyd asking her father for permission, the couple decided to elope. Lloyd’s mother took Lloyd to Cooper to get a marriage license. Eunice waited at home for their car to pass back by and listened for the horn to sound, signaling Lloyd had secured the license. She left a note for her father before leaving that

night. “When I lived at home, it was a habit when we washed dishes at night to turn a plate down for breakfast,” Eunice said. “I wrote a note that I was gone to get married and when he (her father) turned his plate over, he got the note. It said ‘When you read this, I’ll be Mrs. Lloyd Ford.’ I added some more to it — I added it wasn’t a ‘have to.’” The couple resisted Eunice’s father’s wishes to have the marriage annulled, and lived with Lloyd’s parents until a house opened up in the Ford’s Academy community. They began making their living growing and selling tomatoes and watermelons. Later, Lloyd and Eunice bought a grocery store in Rugby and adjacent house, and operated Ford’s Grocery for many years before transforming it into a lawn mower and chain saw repair shop. In 1979, Lloyd retired and the couple moved to their current house, which sits on the property where the Rugby School used to be. Until 2011, the couple maintained a one-acre garden. They attribute their long, healthy lives to eating fresh foods from their own garden, lots of hard work and good rest. Eunice said in 83 years of marriage, they’ve never had a fight. “We never have fought,” Eunice said. “We’ve gotten mad at one another, but we never have fought. Usually if he got on me about anything, I walked off and left him. We never did quarrel.” The couple gave some marriage advice: “Most of the time, if you get mad, walk off until you cool off,” Eunice said. “The first thing is they’ve got to love one another,” Lloyd said. “If there ain’t no love, there ain’t no marriage.”

BEIJING (AP) — China’s central bank announced Saturday a slight easing of its controversial currency controls. It says it will allow the country’s yuan to rise and fall by a slightly wider margin against the dollar in daily trading. The change could allow a faster rise for the yuan, which Washington and other trading partners complain is undervalued. But any increase will likely be too small to satisfy many critics. The central bank said it will allow the yuan to fluctuate by up to 1 percent in value against the dollar each day beginning Mon-

day, up from 0.5 percent previously. The bank took the unusual step of issuing a statement in English as well as in Chinese, clearly intending it for foreign audiences. The United States and other governments say an undervalued yuan gives China’s exporters an unfair price advantage, swelling its trade surplus and hurting foreign competitors at a time when other gover nments are struggling to lower unemployment. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, the country’s top economic official, said in

March the currency might already have reached an “equilibrium exchange rate,” suggesting more gains would be limited. Wen said the yuan already has gained 30 percent in value in real terms since 2005. That increase has failed to satisfy critics. Some American lawmakers are calling for punitive tariffs on Chinese goods if Beijing fails to act faster. Wen also said the yuan has moved both up and down in Hong Kong trading of nondeliverable forward contracts since September. Such contracts are used by traders to bet

on movement of currencies that are not freely traded. They are settled in dollars or other hard currencies. That suggests that the yuan also might fall in value over short periods following the latest easing of controls. Communist leaders have promised repeatedly to help struggling Chinese exporters that have been battered by a plunge in global demand, which suggests that the central bank expects its latest move to result in only a modest increase in the yuan’s value. The central bank sug-

gested it would restrain a rapid rise by the yuan, pledging to maintain “reasonable and balanced levels.” China’s multibillion-dollar trade surplus has narrowed in recent months and swung to a deficit in February. Some analysts suggest that will reduce market pressure for the yuan to rise. Chinese leaders have said they planned eventually to allow the yuan to trade freely on global markets but they say rapid changes could disrupt the country’s economy.

Philippe Dauman led all CEOs with an $84.5 million haul, mainly because of a new contract that granted him shares and stock options. Last year, Dauman’s pay fell to $43 million. Moonves, 62, and Dauman, 58, have another thing in common: They both work for octogenarian billionaire Sumner Redstone, who controls more than 79 percent of the voting stock in both companies. Most of the bump in Moonves’ pay was due to the expected grant of 3.6 million stock options in March 2011, the second of two installments he

secured when he redid his employment contract in February 2010. The rising stock price inflated the value of the new grant of options to $27.3 million, up from $14.9 million the previous year. CBS shares rose 42 percent to $27.14 from $19.05 last year and are up significantly from their all-time low close of $3.09 in March 2009, when the recession hit media companies hard because of an advertising downturn. Since then, Moonves has helped CBS generate more revenues from sources other than advertising. CBS has sold older shows

for online distribution on Netflix and Amazon and gar nered new fees from cable and satellite TV companies for the right to carry the signals of CBS TV stations. That has prompted some analysts to re-evaluate the company. Last month Bernstein Research analyst T odd Juenger said these new deals mean that even if advertising levels fell to the depths of the recession again, CBS shares this time would dip only as low as $13. Moonves’ contract runs through February 2015. Redstone, 88, had a pay package that was unchanged at $20.3 mil-

SANTA FE— The Bureau of Land Management is offering oil and gas leasing mineral rights on 28 parcels totaling 6,500 acres located on federal lands in New Mexico and Oklahoma. The oral auction will take place Wednesday at the BLM New Mexico State Office, 301 Dinosaur Trail in Santa Fe. BLM representatives will be available in the lobby at 8 a.m. to allow each interested party time to obtain a bidding number. The sale will begin promptly at 9 a.m. Only oral bids offered at the sale will be accepted. Parcels will be awarded to qualified bidders offering the highest acceptable bid. The minimum acceptable bid is $2 per acre. The breakdown by state is as follows: •20 parcels totaling 6,158 acres in New Mexico; and •8 parcels totaling 342 acres in Oklahoma. The lease sale notice can be found at blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/e nergy/oil_and_gas/lease_sa le_notices.html. Leases are awarded for a period of 10 years and as long thereafter as there is production in paying quantities. The revenue from the sale of federal leases, as well as the 12.5 percent royalties collected from the production of those leases, is shared between the federal government and the states. Fifty-two percent of the revenue generated goes to the federal government and 48 percent is returned to the state where leasing occurs. Over the past 10 years, New Mexico has received over $4 billion from energy production on BLM-managed federal leases, all of which has been allocated directly to public education.

CBS CEO Moonves’ pay hits $68 million in 2011 in light of rising share value

LOS ANGELES (AP) — CBS Corp. shares have been steadily rising over the past three years, and that has helped boost the pay of its chief executive, Leslie Moonves. Moonves’ pay package for 2011 rose 20 percent to $68.4 million from a year ago, according to an Associated Press review of a securities filing made Friday. Although that’s not close to the $378 million pay package awarded to Apple Inc. CEO T im Cook in 2011, the sum will likely rank Moonves among the highest paid American CEOs last year.

The Associated Press for mula calculates an executive’s total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, abovemarket interest the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP for mula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The value that a compa-

ny assigned to an executive’s stock and option awards for 2011 was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the per for mance of the company’s stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options.

DC’s historic Howard Theatre opens new chapter Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Before there was the Apollo in Harlem, there was the Howard Theatre in the nation’s capital. The nearly 102-year-old Howard officially lifts its curtain once again Thursday for a reopening gala after a $29 million renovation that began in 2010. Smokey Robinson, Savion Glover and Madeleine Peyroux will perform, along with Chaka Khan, Boyz II Men and others. From the red carpet, actress and singer Leslie Uggams said she last came to the Howard to perform when she was 10 years old in the 1950s. She said it was part of a circuit of topranked black theaters and she remembers saying, “Wow!” as she walked inside. “You played the Apollo, you played the Royal Theater in Baltimore and you played the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C.,”’ she said. “If you were asked to play there, that meant you had arrived.” Comedian Dick Gregory said retur ning to the Howard is a reminder of an era of segregation. But the Howard welcomed black performers well before the Apollo and other places because it was in a majority black neighborhood. “You had some acts that could work in Vegas, but you couldn’t stay in the hotels,” Gregory said. “Here, you felt like you were with family.” Fifty years ago, Dionne Warwick per for med her first album, “Don’t Make Me Over,” at the Howard.

long to bring the cherished venue back. Motown records founder Berry Gordy said he remembers coming to the Howard with Smokey Robinson, and they’ve been best friends ever since. Gordy is being honored at the theater’s opening. Robinson said he remembers being “scared to death” when he first sang at the Howard when he was about 16. He said it looks great after the restoration. “I grew up in this theater, so I’ve had some really wonderful times here,” he said. “This was the Apollo of Washington, D.C.” Bill Cosby joined the celebration, offering a tribute to jazz and making fun of the musicians. “What happened to your hair, boy?” Cosby asked New Orleans trumpeter Christian Scott, making fun of his hair because it was sticking up and shaved

on the sides. “I’m going to tell you one thing, you better play.” “I’m going to try,” Scott said. When Washington’s U Street corridor was known as the “Black Broadway” in an era of segregation, the Howard was a crown jewel through the 1960s. It opened in 1910, touted as the “largest colored theater in the world.” It launched careers for Duke Ellington, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and Ella Fitzgerald, among others. It began to suffer, though, after the 1968 riots following Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination damaged much of the neighborhood, and competitors built newer and larger venues. The Howard closed in 1980. By comparison, Harlem’s famous Apollo Theater first opened as a burlesque theater in 1914, and AfricanAmericans were not allowed

inside. It later reopened as the Apollo in 1934 and focused on the growing black community in Harlem. The Howard was left neglected and shuttered since its doors were closed. It remained vacant for 30 years and fell into disrepair, its roof caving in, allowing water to destroy much of the historic interior. Still, pieces of history remain. The stage is in the same place and size as it was when Fitzgerald won an early Amateur Night contest. So is the balcony, where audiences listened to the music of Sammy Davis Jr., Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Louis Ar mstrong and Lena Horne, and the words of Booker T. Washington, Redd Foxx and Moms Mabley. Some of the columns holding up the balcony have been preserved, and the original

feet) of previously unused space that had collecting dust for over 20 years. It was left empty in 1995 after France’s prestigious cinema school, the Femis, relocated. A decade of political wrangling culminated in a decision last year to bring the imposing center back to its full size. Now, the four large, dark screening rooms that were used by the cinema school are again alive with creativity. One room — that President Nicolas Sarkozy this week claimed to have loved — is host to a celestial installation called “Star Studded Cave” made by French artist Julien Salaud. Strands of luminous fabric are constructed across the cinema ceiling in the shape of deer, with forms that resemble a sort of star chart of the sky at night. Also unlocked in the renovation is the south side of the building, and with it a breathtaking view of the Seine River and the

adjacent Eiffel Tower. “Now, tourists will be able to walk straight from the Eiffel Tower over the footbridge and into the museum, because we have a new entrance next to the river on the same level,” Palais de Tokyo curator Julien Fronsacq said. “It’s exciting as everything is in close proximity now.” One of the most striking events is a window installation by Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay. Over each of the seven long windows on the building’s facade, Marclay has installed a vinyl print that mixes comic book references with Gothic stained glass. If it sounds eclectic, Marclay said that’s because the new open space helped him feel freer from the stuffy constraints of nor mal exhibition spaces. “It’s a site of experimentation. And look, it’s the first time I’ve used translucent vinyl. The space here gave me more freedom as now there’s a sense of ‘you can’t fail’

there was no evidence any monkeys ever were left behind. “Tarzan of the Apes” was first released in the October 1912 issue of All-Story magazine, ear ning Burroughs $700. It went on to become a book in 1914. The 1917 movie, starring Elmo Lincoln as Tarzan, was shot in the Atchafalaya swamp. Lincoln made two more silent Tarzan films, pioneering the movie-going public’s taste for jungle fare and leading to the iconic series of the 1930s starring Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan and Maureen O’Sullivan as Jane. The producers of the 1917 film had first considered filming in Florida, but the jungle-like terrain in Morgan City about 70 miles from New Orleans seemed perfect.

“They wanted three things that Morgan City had,” Al Bohl said. “It resembled jungles in the book, and it had large populations of African-Americans to be extras and a really good railroad system.” The railroads were necessary to easily move supplies in the days before the interstate system. The Spanish moss, though not native to African jungles, also proved to be a draw, according to Bill Stark, director at the Patterson Museum, where a yearlong exhibit based on the Bohl documentary will run. The book mentioned the “’moss covered jungles,’ so they loved it,” Stark said. The love of the setting rapidly changed when the crew and actors showed up in August 1917, the

exterior facade has been restored. The theater’s new operators, from the New Yorkbased Blue Note Entertainment Group, said they were compelled to take on the Howard after hearing encouragement from Bill Cosby and other entertainers who remember the theater’s heyday. “It’s important for the city of D.C., but it’s also important for the history of music to get the Howard back up,” said Steven Bensusan, Blue Note’s president. The new Howard is a moder n, high-tech performance space with HD video screens, an acoustic system and recording capabilities. It has supper clubstyle seating for 650 or standing room space for 1,100, making it a flexible venue to host a variety of concerts and events. It’s finished with black walnut walls, oak floors and granite bars to accommodate full-service dining. Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson of Harlem’s Red Rooster and a winner of “Top Chef Masters” has created a menu for Souther n-style dinners and a weekly gospel brunch on Sundays featuring the Harlem Gospel Choir. Having a full-service kitchen and a flexible space will set the Howard apart from many other historic theaters across the country that have been restored only to struggle financially within a few years to keep the doors open. One example is a few blocks away at Washington’s 1920s-era Lincoln Theatre, which also

boasts a rich history with Washington’s jazz scene. “A lot of the theaters have been restored to the way they were. That doesn’t necessarily work in today’s modern world,” Bensusan said, explaining why traditional theater seats were nixed for the Howard. “There’s a market for theaters and there’s a market for almost like a club environment, which is what we’ve created at the Howard.” Blue Note Entertainment has a 20-year lease to operate the theater, promising top names from all genres of music. Its first months’ bookings include performances by Wanda Sykes, The Roots, Chuck Berry and Sinead O’Connor, among others. The company also operates the Blue Note jazz club in New York’s Greenwich Village and the B.B. King Blues Club in Times Square, along with clubs in Japan and Italy. The Howard was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and was named an “American T reasure” as part of the Save America’s Treasures program under President Bill Clinton. Nearby Howard University is not affiliated with the theater, though they share the same namesake. Union Gen. Oliver Otis Howard was the school’s founder.

Europe’s biggest contemporary art center opens PARIS (AP) — After a renovation that nearly tripled its size, the revamped Palais de Tokyo swung open its doors Thursday, inaugurating what is now the largest — and perhaps dustiest — contemporary arts center in Europe. The dust is not a mistake. It’s part of an unfinished look meant to inspire artists now allowed to run free within its walls. About 50 artists began a 30-hour stint of aroundthe-clock creation to celebrate the center’s new life at the imposing Art Deco building on Paris’ Right Bank. The renovation, that cost some (euro) 20 million ($26 million) over 10 months, opened up a dizzying 22,000 square meters (nearly 237,000 square feet) of space. That’s more than three soccer fields. Visitors stepped with trepidation over the center’s four floors on Thursday, past dusty columns, partially painted concrete and exposed cables.

Was the renovation incomplete? The unfinished look, so said the center’s President Jean de Loisy, is deadly intentional. “The landscape here is different from any other center in the world,” de Loisy told The Associated Press. “Nothing is perfectly clean, nothing is perfectly painted on purpose. It is so important in art not to control everything. It’s all in favor of creativity.” Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand was even more enthusiastic, telling the media he envisaged artists working throughout the space, including “across the windows of the rooms via the stairs and ceilings.” Wherever artists chose to express themselves — whether in nooks and crannies, or more conventionally on walls — one thing is sure: they won’t be pushed for space. The renovation project opened up the Palais de Tokyo basement: some 16,000 square meters (about 172,000 square

precisely because it’s an imperfect and unfinishedlooking space.” British artist Oliver Beer, who’s conceived a dramatic choral performance for the opening, saw the vast space as a challenge. “It’s such a bold and dynamic thing ... ,” the 27year -old Beer said. “You can’t just come and hang your art up. The building actually provokes the art. You have to weave your art on in. Sometimes the building will win, sometimes the artist. That’s the interest.” Beer, a rising star on the art scene, is exactly the type of artist the Palais de Tokyo champions. Highly democratic, the center will continue periodically exhibiting six young, new artists every two months. In a similar vain this week, in an event called BYOB — or Bring Your Own Beamer — literally anyone with a video-camera and an idea can come and project their work in any part, even the ceiling

or stairs, of the art center. The low-budget attitude is as useful to up-andcoming artists as it is to the center itself — only half funded by the government. The Palais has to come up with (euro) 6.5 million ($8.5 million) of its estimated (euro) 13 million ($17 million) annual running costs. It pins its hopes on sponsorships and a target of 500,000 visitors a year. Though only time will tell if the venue is a financial success, Palais de Tokyo staff seem upbeat and confident, despite the dust. Faced with a loose electrical wire hanging from the ceiling, speckled with uneven paint, the center’s director for visitors, Tanguy Pelletier, was jovial. “Is it art?” asked Pelletier laughing. “No, this time, it’s not intentionally like that. But, don’t worry, it’ll get fixed.”

95 years after film, Tarzan returns to Louisiana jungle

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The echoing cry of Tarzan, King of the Apes, will ring out this weekend in the coastal Louisiana oil town of Morgan City. The Tarzan Festival started with a proclamation by Gov. Bobby Jindal. Author Edgar Rice Burroughs’ tale of the boy who grew up to be king of the jungle was first published 100 years ago, and the first movie version was shot in Morgan City in 1917. It was a silent film that earned $1 million — startling by standards of the day. The festival will include a Tarzan yell contest, a Tarzan and Jane look-alike contest, and the premier of a Bossier City, La., filmmaker’s documentary on the 1917 filming. The area’s lush swamp, with its dark bayous and vine draped trees, so mim-

icked Tarzan’s Africa that it drew fledgling filmmakers from Hollywood at a time when few movies were made on location. Over the years, though, the swamp has thinned out, whipped by raging storms and housing developments. Filmmaker Al Bohl and his daughter Allison Bohl spent four years making “Tarzan: Lord of the Louisiana Jungle,” which recounts the dangers and daring of the first Tarzan production. “I got hooked on that first movie after a friend of mine told me they released all the monkeys they used in the movie before leaving and left them behind,” Bohl said. “I wanted to know if that was true and if so, what happened to them.” Carrie Stansbury, director of Cajun Coast Visitors and Tourism bureau, said

steamiest month of the brutal Louisiana summer. “The crew got malaria,” Bohl said. “They had about 40 circus acrobats that were supposed to play apes, but in the heat they could only wear the costumes for a minute before they had to get out of them.” The film was innovative, however. For example, more than 800 locals — including African-Americans — were in the movie. And they were allowed to perform without black-face makeup, a departure from style of the time. “It had a tremendous impact on the area,” Stark said. The location also had an impact on future Tarzan films. In the book, Tarzan jumped from limb to limb. But Lincoln used the thick

swamp vines to swing from tree to tree, and it became an enduring image. The movie was a huge hit, becoming one of only 10 from that era to earn $1 million. Movie tickets typically cost 7 cents at the time; tickets to Tarzan sold for $1.50, Stark said. Although it was a silent film, Lincoln does portray Tarzan’s cry while pounding his chest in “Tarzan of the Apes.” The cry was later immortalized in the “talkies” starring Weissmuller. That yell will be the centerpiece of Saturday’s contest. “We had one man who called to tell us his wife had recorded him doing the Tarzan yell everywhere they go, and he was headed here to do it this weekend,” Stansbury said.

In Denv e r, a m u s i c a l p i e c e composed for famed passenger Molly Brown is getting its premiere. With remembrances and exhibits planned from San Diego to Singapore, places with few or little-noted connections to the T itanic are showing the power the tragedy holds worldwide 100 years after the vessel sank April 15, 1912, and took more than 1,500 people to their deaths. In Newport, R.I., visitors can stop by the tennis museum’s “Tennis and the T itanic” exhibit as a tribute to Hall of Famers Richard Norris Williams II and Karl Howell Behr. They met in their 20s aboard the rescue vessel Carpathia and became friends, with both tennis and tragedy in common.

Northern New Mexico’s diction gets its own guide SANTA FE (AP) — Two Texans, on a drive from Santa Fe to Taos, are struck by the unusual names “Tesuque” and “Pojoaque” on highway signs and get into an argument over the correct pronunciations. To settle the issue, they pull over at a roadside business and ask a young clerk to slowly and distinctly answer their question: “How do you pronounce the name of this place?” The clerk leans over the counter and responds “Lot-a-bur-ger.” Indeed, all jokes aside, people from other parts of the country often are puzzled at the esotericism of Northern New Mexico — with place names in Spanish, Tewa and other languages, and natural, cultural or historical references unknown elsewhere. Mark Cross aims to acclimate tourists, newcomers and even people who have spent years here but remain ignorant of the finer points, with his newly published Encyclopedia of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.

“Marconi boys,” the wireless radio operators who served as critical communication links during and after the disaster. T ierney was working the night shift at a station on Nantucket on April 14, 1912, when he heard a faint distress signal — CQD, used before SOS — that he relayed to New York. For several days after the sinking, he transmitted messages containing information on who had survived, and who had been lost. “We’re extremely proud that he was able to help in his way,” said Bill Upham, 64, Tierney’s grandson, who recalls hearing his grandfather tell stories about that night. Upham and other family members, including some of T ierney’s greata n d g r ea t - g r e a t - g r a n dchildren, will lay a wreath at his grave Saturday. T ier ney’s story is told in a documentary featured at the Chatham Mar coni Maritime Center. The center, in conwith the junction National Park Service, is also gathering ham radio operators to relay commemorative messages to other wireless operators around the world during the anniversary weekend. The effort began Thursday and will continue ar ou nd the clock until Sunday afternoon. Said Frank Messina, the center’s vice pr esident: “We’re focusing on the radio operator, and the fact that they wer e really the heroes of the day.”

‘American Reunion’ is the best piece of pie yet

It’s your 10-year high school reunion and you haven’t talked with some of your good friends from your formative years in at least a presidential term. You’re nervous, because you wonder if things will be awkward. Those fears are unfounded, however, as you and your mates (that is such a better term than friend) pick up right where you left of f, as if there was no gap in communication. That is how it is with “American Reunion.” As a huge fan of the American Pie franchise (the three main entrants, not the horrid dir ect to DVD releases), I was nervous about the release of a new film. I hadn’t seen some of my favorite movie characters since 2003’s “American Wedding,” and I was afraid that time would have spoiled the pie. I was wrong. “American Reunion” doesn’t change the formula that made the previous

three films a success, and it pr oved that when it comes to sexual jokes and potty humor, nobody does it better. For anyone looking for a plot synopsis, just read the movie title ... welcome back. The old gang gets back together to celebrate a belated 10-year high school anniversary. That’s all you need to really know because the plot doesn’t matter. What does matter is the characters and the laughs that come with them. The three stars of this show are Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs), Steve Stifler (Sean William Scott) and Jim’s dad (Eugene Levy). All three of those actors fall comfortably back into their r oles in the franchise, and their enthusiasm for the movie is infectious. If I had to give an MVP award to anyone, it would be Scott’s take of Stifler. For my money, Stifler is one of the best comedic

characters of all time and that is a direct result of Scott. Nor mally when there is talk of a character throwing him or herself into a role, it is in a more serious, Oscar-type manner. While Scott won’t be nominated for any awards, he loses himself in his character and steals every scene he is involved in. What was most impressive, and frankly shocking, about Stifler in this movie was that he wasn’t a onetrick pony. In the previous three films, Stifler acted like, well, Stifler. In “American Reunion” he becomes more of a threedimensional character. Or at least as three-dimensional as a gr own man who takes No. 2 in a cooler can be. Let’s call it twoand-a-half-dimensional. That is more appropriate. Stifler isn’t the only surprise in store for Pie fans. “American Reunion” has heart and that is what makes it my favorite slice of Pie yet. Ther e wer e

A raise or some other unanticipated source of money could pop into your life out of the blue. Your creativity and desire to take risks will escalate. Tonight: Sort out the possibilities, then decide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Stay in touch with your needs and obligations. You might be frustrated as you try to get everything done. Focus, and don’t let a personal matter create too much angst in your day. A discussion illuminates a situation. Tonight: Choose a stress-buster, then go home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity is heightened by a disagreement. You want to find a resolution, and you would prefer to keep others involved. Discussions could become inflammatory. Someone you sometimes take for granted will make you smile. Tonight: Fun, with a touch of mischief.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your fiery side could lead to dissatisfaction. Look carefully at your YOUR HOROSCOPE lack of patience. Communication seems to straighten out if you are open and accept that you’re part of a problem. An attitude adjustment will help you regain your sense of wellbeing and confidence. Tonight: Relax with a good friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what is workable. A meeting helps you focus and see different routes. There could be a disagreement between you and a loved one or a child. Your creativity might not be appreciated by this person. Don’t pout; instead, remain confident in your abilities. Tonight: Indulge a loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Responsibility lands on your shoulders, but you cannot change gears right now. Someone could undermine you without realizing it. Stay calm, and do not play into his or her personal problems. Today could present a new beginning. Tonight: Others look to you for their cues.

Cleveland’s Rock Hall welcomes new class

CLEVELAND (AP) — Axl Rose may regret missing this bash. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a musical celebration that in past years has included awkward moments, touching tributes and unforgettable performances, is set for Saturday night in historic Public Hall where 6,000 fans, 1,400 well-heeled guests and many of music’s biggest stars were set to party with the class of 2012. Hard rockers Guns N’ Roses headlined this year’s eclectic group of inductees. Others are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, folk icon Donovan, late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro and British bands the Small Faces and Faces. Rose, the Guns N’ Roses lead singer with an affinity for drama, is skipping the event. Cleveland will rock without him. The screeching frontman and ringmaster of the G N’ R traveling circus of dysfunction for decades said earlier this week that he didn’t want to be part of the ceremony because it “doesn’t appear to be somewhere I’m actually wanted or respected.” Rose cited a continuing rift with his former band mates as the main reason for not attending. His decision disappointed fans and ended months of speculation about whether the original Guns N’ Roses lineup would unite for the first time since 1993 and perform any of their classic hits like “Welcome to the Jungle” or “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Although he asked not to be inducted, the hall plans to enshrine him with whether Rose likes it or not. As the ceremony approached, fans gathered on the sidewalks outside the historic venue, which hosted the Beatles in 1964, for a peek at some of rock’s royalty. Alice Cooper was the fan favorite on the red carpet, signing autographs, telling printable stories and waving in response to cheers of “Alice, Alice!” “New York is glitz, Cleveland is the nuts and bolts,” said Cooper, comparing the cities that share the rock hall induction ceremonies, which are held at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria and come to Cleveland every third year. “I’m from the Midwest. Cleveland feels normal to me,” said Cooper, dressed in a decidedly Hollywood-style black no-lapel tuxedo with a flowered shirt. Cooper, standing under a canvass canopy protecting against threatening skies, marveled at the scene and said he was glad to be around.

“It’s our version of the Academy awards,” he said. “If you can stay alive to 27 — that seems to be the expiration date for rock stars.” Funk icon George Clinton made a splashy entrance, arriving in a silver bullet-shaped vehicle familiar to amusement park thrill riders. Wearing a gray herringbone coat and black fedora, he stood and waved from the back seat.

attempts at icky-gooey feelings in the three previous films, — heck the thir d movie was called “American Wedding” — but I never bought into them. That wasn’t the case in “Reunion.” Maybe it’s because I am coming up on my 10-year high school reunion, but I was struck by the awkwar dness of running into (or sleeping with) an old flame and how old friends can reignite a friendship hotmother style. “American Reunion” was everything I expected and more. It delivered on its trademark style of humor and pleasantly surprised with more life-like characters. Essentially if you have loathed all things American Pie since the beginning, this is not the film for you. On the other hand, if you have enjoyed the previous three theatrical releases, go and enjoy another piece of Pie. Stifler-style.

Now that Brangelina are officially engaged, expect endless speculation about where and when they’ll wed, what they’ll wear, what their kids’ roles will be, and who might get to attend the celebration. “This is really a state wedding,” said Stephen Galloway, executive editor of features at The Hollywood Reporter. “This is America’s equivalent to Prince William and Kate Middleton.” He called the Brangelina wedding “the media event of the new century.” Pitt’s manager confirmed the

couple’s engagement Friday after Jolie was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger. Jeweler Robert Procop said he spent a year working with Pitt to design the ring. “The prominent engagement ring is giving the world a warning,” Galloway said. “It says look out, get ready.” But Bradley Jacobs, a senior editor at Us Weekly, sees things differently. He anticipates the wedding will be a private, even low-key affair. “I don’t think you’re going to see a bunch of fanfare,” he said. “It’s certainly not going to be a Kim Kardashian-style wedding ... It’s going to be very subdued.” Still, expect massive media coverage either way: “We will not rest until we know when and where and how and who’s going to be there,” Jacobs said. Entire magazine issues could be devoted to each star’s wedding-day outfits and hairdos. “Every single designer on the

planet will be pursuing Angelina for the dress,” Galloway said. “It’s literally worth millions of dollars in business.” Jolie’s wedding dress is a career-making outfit for the winning designer. Even Pitt’s look leaves room for ample speculation: Long hair or short? Facial scruff or clean shaven? A classic tuxedo? And designed by whom? Then there’s the guest list. Who will be the best man and maid of honor? Will Jolie’s father, Jon Voight, attend? Will George Clooney be in the house? Jolie has said she doesn’t have many close friends. “This is going to be a map of the inner state of their private life,” Galloway said. “This is like Kremlinology. You’ll be able to read all sorts of things into this wedding.” Unless, of course, the two elope. The timing of the engagement and the wedding are also fodder

for editorial exploration. The couple long maintained that they wouldn’t marry until the right to do so was extended to all Americans, but when Galloway interviewed Pitt for a February cover story, the 48-year-old actor said he didn’t think they’d be able to hold out that long. “It means so much to my kids, and they ask about it,” Pitt said at the time. “And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.” But days later, he backtracked, saying he’d spoken too soon. “There’s a certain mystery in these contradictory statements made in the weeks leading up to this (engagement news),” Galloway said. “People who’ve been together a long time get married when things are great or when you want to shore up things that are not so great.” The A-listers have been partners since they began a relationship in 2005 while working on

the film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Already megawatt superstars in their own right, the romantic pairing of Pitt and Jolie instantly made them Hollywood’s most glamorous and photographed couple. The fact that Pitt was still married to Jennifer Anniston when he met Jolie only fueled the tabloid fire; Pitt and Aniston divorced in 2005 after five years of marriage. Jolie was previously married to Billy Bob Thornton and British actor Jonny Lee Miller. Regardless of the size of the celebration or where it takes place, the Jolie-Pitt wedding has major economic implications. Jour nalists from all over the world will swarm to the wedding location; the designers of each nuptial element will see their businesses boom; the rights to the photos and footage will be haggled over by publishers and broadcasters with deep pockets. Galloway predicts the bidding has already begun.
