US-Afghanistan deal has holes

Vol. 121, No. 106 50¢ Daily / $1 Sunday

INSIDE NEWS

WASHINGTON (AP) — The 10-year security compact that President Barack Obama signed with Afghan President Hamid Karzai contains promises the United States and Afghanistan cannot guarantee they will keep, and loopholes for both nations.

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the art world’s most recognizable images — Edvard Munch’s The Scream — sold Wednesday for a record $119,922,500 at auction in New York City.

The 1895 artwork — a modern symbol of human anxiety — was sold at Sotheby’s. The buyer ’s name was not released.

negotiated by his or her predecessor.

For Obama, the agreement represents a compromise with Karzai after messy negotiations over U.S. military detention of Afghan suspects and raids on Afghan homes that offend Afghans.

U.S. concessions were relatively small, however, and the deal Obama signed in Kabul is probably the best one he could get on a tight deadline. He wants to showcase a long-term com-

mitment to Afghan stability when he hosts NATO leaders for a summit in Chicago later this month. U.S. officials said the deal is legally binding, but it does not carry the force of a treaty as Afghanistan originally wanted.

The deal pledges Afghanistan to fight corruption, improve efficiency and protect human rights, including women’s rights.

JUNIOR SEAU DEAD AT 43

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Junior Seau, a homegrown superstar who was the fist-pumping, emotional leader of the San Diego Chargers for 13 years, was found shot to death at his home Wednesday morning in what police said appeared to be a suicide. He was 43.

Police Chief Frank McCoy said Seau’s girlfriend reported finding him unconscious with a gunshot wound to the chest and lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful.

Bianca Evangelica Gutierrez, 27, of Roswell, was arrested, Sunday, at the El Paso Port of Entry when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 4.4 pounds of cocaine. The drugs were strapped to Gutierrez’s legs when she entered the Paso Del Norte pedestrian facility from Mexico.

“This is a sizeable cocaine load and a significant loss to a drug smuggling organization,” said CBP El Paso Port Director Hector Mancha.

The seizure was made just before 9 p.m. A CBP officer selected her for a secondary exam during which officials detected unusual lumps on her legs. A more thorough exam revealed four cocainefilled packages strapped to the backs of her thighs.

CBP of ficers contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations. Gutierrez is charged with drug smuggling charges. She was booked into the El Paso county jail where she is being held without bond.

BEIJING (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton cautioned China to protect human rights Thursday, in remarks that rejected Beijing’s criticism of the U.S. for getting involved in the case of a blind dissident whose fate overshadowed the opening of annual talks between the powerful countries.

INDEX

Blind lawyer Chen Guangcheng is wheeled into a hospital by U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, right, and an unidentified official at left, in Beijing Wednesday.

Clinton said at the opening of the talks on foreign policy and economic issues that the U.S. believes “all gover nments have to answer our citizens’ aspirations for dignity and the rule of law and that no nation can or should deny

those rights.”

Her comments came after the dissident, Chen Guangcheng, pleaded for more help from Washington.

The blind, self-taught lawyer took refuge in the U.S. Embassy after escaping house arrest, but left Wednesday to get treatment for a leg injury at a Beijing hospital. He initially said he had been assured that he would be safe in China, but hours later he said he fears for his family’s safety unless they are all spirited abroad.

China already demanded an apology from the U.S. even before Chen balked at a deal in which he would

remain in his homeland.

Now that he wants to leave, the case could overshadow talks in which Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner are to discuss foreign policy and economic issues with their Chinese counterparts.

China’s top diplomat Dai Bingguo said in response to Clinton that the most important aspect of bilateral relations was to respect each other’s sovereignty.

Neither mentioned Chen, who spent six days holed up in the U.S. Embassy before he left Wednesday.

‘Cinco de Mayo’ — plenty The Scream fetches record of beer, not much history $119.9M at NYC auction

AP Photo

Marylin Castillo dances in honor of the Cinco de Mayo celebration in Los Angeles, May 5.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Here’s what Cinco de Mayo has become in the U.S.: a celebration of all things Mexican, from mariachi music to sombreros, marked by schools, politicians and companies selling everything from beans to beer.

And here’s what Cinco de Mayo is not, despite all the signs in bar windows inviting revelers to drink: It’s not Mexico’s Independence Day, and it’s barely marked in Mexico, except in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is rooted in a complicated and short-lived 1862 military victory over the French.

But don’t let that spoil the party.

In Houston, ballet folklorico dancers will ring in Cinco de Mayo by stomping to traditional Mexican music in a city park. New York City will close parts of Spanish Harlem and Queens for street fairs as Mexican flags flap from apartment fire escapes and car antennas. Albuquerque honors the day with a Mariachi concert and free cab rides for those who show their love for Mexico with a little too much Dos Equis XX or tequila. Even West Des Moines, Iowa, has an all-day festival with Mexican food, artwork and live music.

The holiday has spread from the American Southwest, even though most are unaware of its original ties to the U.S. Civil War, abolition and promotion of civil rights for blacks.

Often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (that’s Sept. 16), Cinco de Mayo commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla between the victorious ragtag army of largely Mexican Indian soldiers against the invading French forces of Napoleon III. Mexican Americans, during the Chicano Movement of the 1970s, adopted the holiday for its David vs. Goliath storyline as motivation for civil rights struggles in

Texas and California.

Over the years, the holiday has been adopted by beer companies as a way to penetrate the growing Latino market, even as the historical origins of the holiday remain largely forgotten.

David Hayes-Bautista, a professor of medicine and health services at UCLA and author of the newly released El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition, said the holiday’s history in the U.S. goes back to the Gold Rush when thousands of immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America came to California during the Civil War. According to Spanishlanguage newspapers at the time, this first group of multinational Latinos on U.S. soil identified with the Union Army’s fight against the Confederacy and often wrote pieces about the evils of slavery. Hayes-Bautista said these Latino immigrants were concer ned about the Union’s lack of progress and Napoleon III’s interests in helping the South.

“It wasn’t until the news came about the Battle of Puebla that they got the good news they wanted,” said Hayes-Bautista. “Since Napoleon III was linked to the Confederacy, they saw the victory as the first sign that their side could win.”

They didn’t, of course, at least not for a few years.

French forces took over Mexico after the Battle of Puebla, and installed Habsburg Archduke Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico. He was captured by Mexican forces five years later and put to death.

But in the years that followed, Latinos in California and the U.S. Northwest celebrated Cinco de Mayo with parades of people dressed in Civil War uniforms and gave speeches about the significance of the Battle of Puebla in the larger struggle for abolition, said Hayes-Bautista.

The Cinco de Mayo-Civil

War link remained until the Mexican Revolution, which sparked another wave of Mexican immigration to the U.S. Those immigrants had no connection to Cinco de Mayo — except that U.S. Latinos celebrated it.

“That’s when it became about David vs. Goliath, Indians beating a European force, and it took on a new meaning,” said HayesBautista. “The Civil War ties disappeared.”

The date received another jolt during World War II during the U.S. gover nment’s “Good Neighborhood Policy” aimed at building good relationships with Mexico and during the Chicano Movement, when Mexican American activists adopted the day to reinforce civil rights demands.

Two police beatings of Cinco de Mayo revelers — one in Houston in 1978 and the other in Washington DC in 1991 — resulted in riots and sparked protests and calls for reforms from Latino advocates.

The holiday spread outside of the American Southwest as more Latinos moved to new areas around the country. Alyssa Gutierrez, 35, a teacher who is originally from Robstown, Texas, but now lives in New York’s Harlem neighborhood, said Cinco de Mayo was barely noticed when she moved to New York in 1998. “Now there are Mexican restaurants on almost every block and all do something on Cinco de Mayo, usually around a boxing match,” said Gutierrez.

Jody Agius Vallejo, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California and author of Barrios to Burbs: The Making of the Mexican-American Middle Class, said Cinco de Mayo is now used by assimilated Mexican Americans as an easy way for them to showcase their ethnic identity.

“It’s very similar to how Irish-Americans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day,” said Vallejo. “One way they can honor their ethnicity is to celebrate this day, even when most don’t know why.”

But not all buy in. “To others,” she added, “this holiday is kind of viewed as a joke because they feel it’s their culture that is being appropriated and exploited.”

Hayes-Bautista said because the theme and focus around Cinco de Mayo has transformed a number of times, it won’t be surprising if it changes again.

“No one has owned Cinco de Mayo,” said HayesBautista. “And no one ever will.”

Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the art world’s most recognizable images — Edvard Munch’s The Scream — sold Wednesday for a record $119,922,500 at auction in New York City.

The 1895 artwork — a modern symbol of human anxiety — was sold at Sotheby’s. The buyer’s name was not released.

The previous record for an artwork sold at auction was $106.5 million for Picasso’s Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust, sold by Christie’s in 2010.

Munch’s image of a man holding his head and screaming under a streaked, blood-red sky is one of four versions by the Norwegian expressionist painter. The auctioned piece at Sotheby’s is the only one left in private hands.

The image has become part of pop culture, “used by everyone from Warhol to Hollywood to cartoons to teacups and T -shirts,” said Michael Frahm of the London-based art advisory service firm Frahm Ltd. “Together with the Mona Lisa, it’s the most famous and recognized image in art history.”

A buzz swept through the room when the artwork was presented for auction as two guards stood watch on either side. Bidding started at $40 million with seven buyers jumping into the competition early.

The battle eventually boiled down to two phone bidders as the historic hammer price was finally achieved after more than 12 minutes. The record price includes the buyer’s premium, an additional amount the buyer pays the auction house.

Sotheby’s said the pastel-on-board version of The Scream is the most colorful and vibrant of the four and the only version whose frame was hand-painted by the artist to include his poem, detailing the work’s inspiration.

In the poem, Munch described himself “shivering with anxiety” and said he felt “the great scream in nature.”

Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a friend and patron of the artist, said he sold the piece through Sotheby’s because he felt “the moment has come to offer the rest of the world the chance to own and appreciate this remarkable work.”

“I have lived with this work all my life,

AP Photo and its power and energy have only increased with time,” Olsen said.

Proceeds from the sale will go toward the establishment of a new museum, art center and hotel in Hvitsten, Norway, where Olsen’s father and Munch were neighbors.

The director of the National Museum in Oslo, Audun Eckhoff, says Norwegian authorities approved the Munch sale since the other versions of the composition are in Norwegian museums. One version is owned by the National Museum and two others by the Munch Museum, also in Oslo.

Frahm had predicted the sale would break a record. He said it will show that great quality artworks can still come up for sale; that the top end of the market is driving further away from the rest of the market and that it’s a global market now where Asia and the Middle East are playing a more significant role than Europe and America.

Sotheby’s said a total of eight works have sold for $80 million or more at auction.

Only two other works besides Picasso’s Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust have sold for more than $100 million at auction. Those are Picasso’s Boy With a Pipe (The Young Apprentice) for $104.1 million in 2004 and Alberto Giacometti’s Walking Man I for $104.3 million in 2010.

Johnny plans Mother’s Day gala VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The Johnny Gonzales Community Volunteer Program is set to host a giveaway event on Mother’s Day to honor birth mothers and those who have stepped in to provide maternal love, alike.

The giveaway will take place at the Boys & Girls Club, 201 S. Garden Ave., on May 13 at 10 a.m. The event will be a chance to get baskets full of non-perishable food items and Mother’s Day tokens such as roses, candy and plush toys.

“All this is free,” Gonzales said. “We want everyone in the city to have a nice Mother’s Day.” Gonzales stressed the importance of having the event on Moth-

er’s Day, as opposed to having the event early.

“You got to think about (mothers) that day,” he said. “That’s when they’re lonely, brokenhearted.

“Everyone’s thinking of mothers three days before Mother’s Day,” he continued. “Show (them) the love that day.”

The Mother’s Day event will feature prizes, Gonzales said, for the oldest mother and the youngest mother. There will be live music and, after the giveaway, attendees will be able to enjoy a free lunch.

“We’re just trying to make it as lively as we can,” Gonzales said. He is accepting donations of nonperishable food, Mother’s Day cards, monetary donations, as well as donations of time. He said he needs

volunteers to help with the giveaway itself, and to help deliver gifts to homebound mothers.

Those interested in receiving a food basket and Mother’s Day gift must register, Gonzales said. Registering helps him and his volunteers know how many people to expect at the giveaway.

Registration will take place at the New Hope Center, 417 Wildy St., on Friday, Monday, Wednesday and on May 11. Registration time is 7 p.m. for each date. Gonzales said he has already registered 85 women for the giveaway.

To make a donation to the Mother’s Day event, contact Johnny Gonzales at 624-7579.

A shaken Chen told The Associated Press from his hospital room that Chinese authorities had warned he would lose his opportunity to be reunited with his family if he stayed longer in the embassy.

ing of illegal drugs in Afghanistan, a major opium producer. Both nations affirm that illicit drugs undermine security and legitimate economic growth but promise only to cooperate to confront the threat.

The United States promises to seek annual funding to train and equip the Afghan armed forces but gives no dollar figure. That money must be approved

by Congress, which has so

far supported the Obama administration’s plan to build up the Afghan forces.

There is growing concern in Congress, however, about the quality of those forces, and the billions of dollars they would need over 10 years is not assured.

The agreement promises ongoing U.S. investment in a variety of development, health, education and support projects aimed at helping the poor nation one day support itself, and it com-

there are still people out there who assume (milk) comes from the grocery store. This whole program is trying to let the kids know that agriculture is important to their life, every day and in every way; not just the milk, but the whole industry.”

During the presentation Lightfoot discusses the importance of dairy to a healthy diet, sharing information about the nine essential nutrients and vitamins in milk.

“Hopefully they remember the nutrition of milk,” he said. “If we can get at them young, and convince them that they need to be drinking their milk, they’ll drink the milk for the rest of their lives. That’s pretty much our message.”

County Extension Agent Janelle Duffey said many people do not realize all of the hard work that goes into agriculture, an important lesson for children to learn at a young age. “(Agriculture) is not an eight-to-five job, Monday through Friday — it’s every single day,” Duffey said.

“It’s a lifestyle; it’s family tradition. And they work at

it. That’s how they make their money. That’s how they survive.

“Without agriculture, we wouldn’t have food on the table, we wouldn’t have clothes on our backs. So this program (helps) these kids gain an appreciation for agriculture and what it does for us as a society.”

During the sheep lesson, children learn that several common items come from the animal, how the stitching of a baseball is made from sheepskin, and how the inside of a baseball contains a rubber core wrapped in wool.

Duffey says student reactions during presentations like the one on sheep provides proof of the positive effect the program has on children.

“It’s fun to watch their faces,” she said. “They’re absolutely astonished. A lot of these kids can relate to a baseball, a tennis ball, lotion, wool blankets. They don’t realize the process that all those products go through before they actually hit the shelf on the store.

And they always ask lots of questions.”

ney Janetta Hicks and Janet Ellis, who served as a prosecutor under former District Attorney Tom Rutledge, both Republicans, who are running for district attorney in the 5th Judicial District, will be present.

The winner will be unopposed in the general election.

City Clerk Dave Kunko and Bureau of Elections Chief Stephanie De Los Santos Amaro, both Republicans, are running for Chaves County Clerk. The winner will be unopposed in the general election.

Once the drugs are collected and weighed, the Drug Enforcement Adminstration ensures they are safely destroyed. During the previous three events, the DEA registered some 500 tons of prescription drugs collected nationwide.

The purpose of the drug take-back program is to ensure that citizens have a safe way to get rid of unused medicines from their home medicine cabinets. Prescription medications are among the most often abused drugs in the United States, ranking

“I think we’d like to rest in a place outside of China,” Chen told the AP, appealing again for help from Washington. “Help my family and me leave safely.”

Only hours earlier, U.S. of ficials said they had extracted from the Chinese government a promise that Chen would join his family and be allowed to start a new life in a university town in China, safe from the rural authorities who had abusively held him in prison and house arrest for nearly seven years.

Melody Petersen, author of Our Daily Meds noted that 100,000 Americans die each year from prescription drugs. Later statistics from the Academic Emergency Medicine released in 2011 indicated that prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year.

But the murky circumstances of Chen’s departure from the embassy, and his sudden appeal to leave China after declaring he wanted to stay, again threatened to overshadow talks that were to focus on the global economic crisis and hotspots such as North Korea, Iran, Syria and Sudan.

OPINION

Elections have become a major U.S. industry

News that the National Republican Senatorial Committee has earmarked $3 million for Heather Wilson’s Senate campaign tells us that the GOP fully expects New Mexico’s former District 1 congresswoman to win its Senate nomination in the June primary.

It also tells us that the Republican party has oodles of money to spend in the general election.

Shortly before the 2008 general election, the Center for Responsive Politics issued a report estimating that “more than $5.3 billion will go toward financing the federal contests upcoming on Nov. 4,” making it “the most expensive in history.”

The Center’s computations addressed only the enormous sums of money spent on “federal contests” in 2008, races for the presidency and Congress.

mayoral and other elective municipal positions, not to mention county offices.

For the small “d” democrat dedicated to the proposition that those who govern should foremost be responsive to the governed, it is scary. The process of uninterrupted political campaigns has become the norm in this country, a ludicrously expensive cycle wherein the governed are objects of manipulation.

Scarier still is the growing consensus that the current 2012 elections for federal offices will be even more expensive, anywhere between $8 billion and $10 billion.

Roswell Daily Record

American politics has become a multi-billion dollar industry with specialized components ranging from expensive consultants, fulltime media professionals, pollsters and pundits, lobbyists and advertising wizards ad nauseam. Sustaining this massive industry requires enormous sums of money continuously flowing into its component parts.

In a sense, elections themselves have become little more than regularly scheduled intervals in a process that feeds on huge sums of money to keep this “big business” of interminable campaigning roaring onward.

Consider New Mexico’s current U.S. Senate race.

Not until the June 5 primary election will Republican and Democratic voters actually decide who to nominate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by longtime Democratic Sen. Jeff Bingaman.

Yet such are the economics of contemporary campaigns that pollsters, pundits and some politicos

have already concluded that the general election will ultimately pit Republican Wilson against District 1 Democratic Congressman Martin Heinrich Having come to that conclusion, those same pollsters, prognosticators, et. al., have progressed to measuring which of these two erstwhile nominees is leading and/or trailing in this campaign.

One well-known polling organization, Rasmussen, recently released its latest survey on the Heinrich-Wilson race which found the state’s current District 1 congressman ahead of the former District 1 congresswoman, 46 to 42 percent.

Just last week, another pollster, Public Policy Polling, found 48 percent of New Mexico voters in Heinrich’s camp compared to 43 percent for Wilson.

Meanwhile, national and local news organizations are busily assaying the candidates’ latest money raising efforts, with Wilson reporting just under $758,000

between Jan. 1 and March 31, compared with Heinrich’s nearly $490,000 during that same period.

Amid all this, the Blogosphere is rife with contemplations on what, if any, impact a high profile scandal that erupted during her last term in Congress will have on Wilson’s Senate race.

The charge was that Wilson pressured the Bush White House to fire Republican U.S. Attorney David Iglesias for not moving fast enough on a corruption case against a top New Mexico Democrat.

Wilson denied those allegations only to have former White House aide Karl Rove undercut her denial by confirming that she had indeed tried to get Iglesias fired. Last summer Rove reportedly was featured at a fundraiser for Wilson’s Senate campaign.

Army begins to remake itself

After nearly 10 years of relentless combat, the U.S. Army has begun to catch its breath and think about what’s next.

Army Chief of Staff Raymond T. Odierno, in an article published last week in the May/June edition of Foreign Affairs, writes that the coming decade will be a “vital period of transition” involving declining budgets, a new strategic emphasis on the AsiaPacific region and a broadening of the Army’s capabilities.

Lt. Gen. David G. Perkins, who commands the Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., spoke last week at the Boeing Company’s Leadership Center in north St. Louis County.

Nine years ago last month, then-Col. Perkins led the Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division on the two “thunder runs” that established the U.S. presence in Baghdad. After that, anything else would seem tame. But command of the Combined Arms Center, “the intellectual center of the Army,” which oversees the Command and General Staff College and 17 other schools and training programs across the country, marks a general officer as a star.

Indeed, getting soldiers used to life after combat is one of the challenges facing Gen. Perkins. Last year, then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates fretted that bright young officers who had held significant commands in Iraq and Afghanistan would be bored with post-war life “in a cube all day, reformatting PowerPoint slides.”

“When I was at Fort Carson, I had a young soldier ask me what he could possibly do at Fort Carson for two years,” Gen. Perkins said. He commanded the Fourth Infantry Division at the Colorado base before being assigned to his current job.

Most of the Army’s younger officers and nearly all of its enlisted personnel can’t remember life that wasn’t one combat deployment after another. Between now and 2014, when nearly all of the remaining troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan, training will change and intensify. “There are whole aspects of the job we didn’t have time for before,” he said.

When the Iraq war went south in the mid2000s, Congress authorized the Army to build troop strength by 80,000. Next year’s anticipated budget cuts may reduce the force by at least that much. “Our job is to determine, with whatever force remains, how it is organized, equipped and trained,” Gen. Perkins said.

The idea is to build on what was learned in Iraq and Afghanistan — combat combined with counter-insurgency and training missions — and try to determine what the next war will look like. The problem with that, he said, is that “we have an almost unbroken track record of getting the next war wrong.”

“Change happens a lot quicker these days,” Gen. Perkins said. “Our challenge is how we build an organization that continually adapts. The Army is a big organization — 1.2 million people. And large organizations don’t change overnight.”

Guest Editorial The St. Louis Post-Dispatch DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve heard that scientists have discovered genes that cause autism. Could this lead to a cure?

DEAR READER: Autism is a disorder of child development. Kids with autism have difficulty communicating and forming social relationships.

The studies you are referring to identify genes that increase the risk of autism, and could someday lead to a cure. I think of these studies as the first steps down what is going to be a long road. Nevertheless, they are genuinely exciting.

Three studies were recently published in the

help, you can have your cake and eat it, too. The idea of a new “green economy” that is both clean and rich with jobs became popular under Bill Clinton’s administration, thanks in large part to a compliant media and Vice President Al Gore. But anyone who understands economics knows that President Obama’s green jobs initiative is snake oil.

Obama boasted that his $2.3 billion plan would “help close the clean-energy gap between America and other nations.” But other nations now move in the opposite direction. “Countries are cut-

acids, which are the building blocks of genes. The sequence of those nucleic acids determines what the effect of the gene will be.

Even 10 years ago such a study would have been impossibly expensive and taken hundreds of years to complete. However, new technologies now make it possible to sequence genes much faster, and for a tiny fraction of the cost.

All three research groups found very strong evidence that the autistic children had suffered serious mutations, or alterations, in at least three specific genes.

The studies also found strong evidence of a role for another group of genes.

ting these programs because they realize they aren’t sustainable and they are obscenely expensive,” says the American Enterprise Institute’s Kenneth P. Green. In Spain, economists at La Universidad Rey Juan Carlos found that each “green” job cost more than $750,000.

Obama claims that if we “invest” more, we can “create millions of jobs — but only if we accelerate the “green transition.” What could make more sense? A little push from the smart politicians, and — voila! — an abundance of new jobs and a cleaner, sustainable environment. It’s the ulti-

The mutations were not found in the parents or non-autistic siblings. So the mutations must have occurred in the DNA of the egg or the sperm that created the child with autism.

The studies also indicated that mutations in the father’s genes (in the sperm) are more likely to lead to autism than mutations in the mother’s genes (in the egg). Furthermore, mutations in the father’s genes are more likely as the father gets older.

More important, virtually all of the genes that were mutated in the children with autism were genes

“All the government can do is subsidize some industries while jacking up costs for others,” writes Green. “It is destroying jobs in the conventional energy sector — and most likely in other industrial sectors — through taxes and subsidies to new green companies that will use taxpayer dollars to undercut the competition. The subsidized jobs ‘created’ are, by definition, less efficient uses of capital

Rescue helicopter pilots to speak at Roswell dinner Roswell Daily Record

Two U.S. Army UH-1D “Huey” helicopters took off from Bien Hoa Airbase, South Vietnam, on the morning of May 14, 1967.

The crews looked forward to a quiet Sunday of flying to various U.S. Special Forces camps in the III Corps. One Huey was flying a chaplain between bases.

The other was carrying a paymaster.

When the Hueys returned to Bien Hoa that night, their rotor blades would be in tatters.

Their crews saved 126 South Vietnamese soldiers and a U.S. Special Forces advisor from an ambush sprung by a reinforced battalion of more than 600 North Vietnamese army and Viet Cong soldiers.

To reach the allied soldiers on the ground, the pilots of the two helicopters used their Hueys’ rotor blades to chop through 40 feet of bamboo. After the initial landing, the helicopters returned to the landing zone four more times to res-

The pilots of the two Hueys — Tom Baca of Albuquerque and Jack Swickard of Roswell — will speak about the mission during this year’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Dinner on May 5 at the Roswell Civic Center.

The event begins at 6 p.m.

Tickets are available for $15 each at the Roswell Chamber of Commerce, 131 W. Second St. and at the door the day of the event.

Baca and Swickard returned to the scene of the rescue north of Saigon in October 2008 for filming in

the landing zone where they rescued the soldiers. The pilots have returned to Vietnam several times since then.

At the time of the rescue, Swickard was a pilot with the 118th Assault Helicopter Company. Baca formerly flew for the 118th Assault Helicopter Company before being assigned to II Field Force Vietnam. On the day of the rescue, he was flying an unarmed VIP aircraft.

After four years on active military duty, Swickard returned to The Albuquerque Tribune, where he was a reporter and city editor. He later served as editor and general manager of the Roswell Daily Record and the Farmington Daily Times. In 2000, he founded The Triton Group Inc., a public relations company headquartered in Roswell.

than market-created jobs.”

This is good, solid economic thinking. Many years ago, Henry Hazlitt wrote in his bestseller, “Economics in One Lesson,” “The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.”

In judging any government initiative, you can’t look just at the credit side of the ledger. Government is unable to give without first taking away. Inevitably, more is taken away because the government substitutes force for free exchange. Instead of a process driven by consumers weighing their preferences, we get one imposed by politicians’ grand social designs, what F.A. Hayek called “the fatal conceit.” The green schemes make energy cost more.

Of course, some who push “green jobs” want the price of energy to rise. Then we will live in smaller homes, drive less and burn fewer fossil fuels. But if the environmental lobby wants Americans to be poorer, it ought to come clean about that.

Once you decide nature is inherently healthy, moral

and beautiful, the reasons to restrict human activity are endless. Every time we move or breathe, we alter the environment. Some environmentalists won’t be satisfied until our carbon footprint is reduced to zero.

Of course, that requires abolishing civilization. But if humanity’s impact on nature is an evil, abolishing us wouldn’t be so bad. The group Earth First! had the slogan, “Back to the Pleistocene!”

Most of us don’t think civilization is evil, but we worry about what environmentalists say. We don’t have the time to do complicated calculations about economic trade-offs. It’s easier to just recycle something, buy a Prius and donate to the Environmental Defense Fund.

Today, we put up with amazing intrusions in the name of environmentalism. A million petty regulations mandate surtaxes on gas, separation of garbage into multiple bins, special light bulbs, taxes on plastic bags and so on.

Yet these things are of so little ecological consequence that the Earth will never notice. For this, we must surrender our freedom?

that are important to brain development. So it made sense that mutations in these genes could lead to autism.

These new research studies are exciting.

They sampled a relatively large number of families.

And they all came to very similar conclusions — which strongly suggests their findings are correct.

The studies do not identify “the cause” of autism. There are going to be many more genes involved. However, the identification of these genes will make it simpler to search for other genes related to autism.

Like most diseases, autism is likely caused not just by genes but also by factors in the environment. (My colleague Dr. Martha Her-

It will take time, but I think these studies will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment. It reminds me of what Winston Churchill said at the end of the Battle of Britain: “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.

But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

OBITUARIES/RECORDS

Funeral services are scheduled for Friday, May 4, 2012, at 10 a.m., at LaGrone Funeral Chapel, for Leslie “Les” Langston, 85, who passed away at home on May 1, 2012, surrounded by the love of his family. Doug Austin and Bob Cates of Country Club Road Church of Christ will officiate, with interment to follow in South Park Cemetery.

Les was born in Palestine, Texas, on March 25, 1927, the youngest of eight children to Kay Carl and Leonette (Kite) Langston, who preceded him in death.

He was predeceased also by a son, Larry Myron Langston; a granddaughter, Tammie Williford; brothers, J.B., Denver, Dewey and Melvin Langston; and two sisters, Mildred Medlin and Hazel Allen.

Les married Nancy Eunice Lovett on July 3, 1947, in Hobbs. She survives him at the family home.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughters, Cynthia Green and her husband Jesse, of San Angelo, Texas, Peggy Langston, of Carrolton, Texas, Debbie Gannon and her husband James, of Azle, Texas, and Evelyn Williams, of Dayton, Nev.; brother Ralph Langston and his wife Betty, of Odessa, Texas; six grandchildren, Shannon Rosales and husband Joe, of San Angelo, Robin Moreno and husband Alex, of Ft. Worth, Texas, Christi Langston and partner Rose Cheney, of Roswell, Tiffany Gratts, of Azle, Casscade Williams, of Grass Valley, Calif., and Sierra Williams, of Roswell and seven great-grandchildren, Rachel Williford, of San Antonio, Travis, Isabel, Anthony and Jonathan Rosales, of San Angelo, and Makaila and Tristen Gratts, of Azle.

Pallbearers will be Jesse Green, James Gannon, Alex Moreno, Joe Rosales, T ravis Rosales and Kim Hutton. Honorary pallbearers will be Wesley Williams, Robert Smiley and Casscade Williams.

Leslie served in the U. S. Navy in World War II as

seaman second class in the boat division operating landing craft. He traveled to the Marianas and other islands in the Pacific Theater on the USS Feland APA 11. All of his brothers and brothers-in-law served in various services and all survived the war. After the war, he went to Texas Tech at Lubbock, for three semesters, then ENMU-Portales for one semester.

Les worked for Humble Oil Co. (now Exxon) for 12½ years in Texas and New Mexico. He then went into business for himself for several years in two service stations and a trailer house rental business.

He and Nancy moved to Portales in 1965, and both went to college full time while working, until they both graduated in 1968 and 1969. He went to work teaching vocational subjects at ENMU-R and continued college until 1970, graduating with a master’s degree in education administration. He was supervisor of all Voc Tech programs for a time, then established the Oilfield T raining Program and became chair man of the department. Leslie retired from the university in 1983 and went to Egypt to work as a curriculum training specialist for 2½ years. He came back to Roswell and taught again at ENMU-R until 1990, when he went to New Zealand to teach oil field subjects for five months. When he returned from New Zealand, he taught part time again at ENMU-R until he was 80 years old. Leslie was a member of Country Club Church of Christ. He was also a treasured member of the High Prairie Poets.

Leslie was active as a Boy Scouts of America leader when he lived at Hobbs. He raised an entire generation of boys seeing them through Scouts and Explorers. He was a Girl Scout leader in Roswell one year. In addition, he had several hobbies, which included welding art objects. He built five drilling rigs representing various historical times.

His rigs have been displayed in several states, the New Mexico Roundhouse, and locally. He also wrote poetry and is a published author of a fiction book and a technical manual about oil field subjects for the state of Oklahoma.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) #### You might react and simply not care, leaving others wondering what has happened. At this point, you march to the beat of a different drummer. Your actions could surprise even you. Avoid a power play at all costs. Walk away, if need be. Tonight: Be with your favorite person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ### Look around at your immediate circle. You might see some strange behavior emerging. Your caring will make a big difference to a child or loved one. A power play might push others away and cause you a problem, or vice versa. Remain sensitive to the cast of players in your life. Tonight: Keep it easy and light.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) #### Go with the unexpected, even if you are not sure where it is going to land you. Pressure builds, as you feel you should go along with someone’s suggestion. Your softer side emerges when dealing with a loved one. Caring seems to flow. Tonight: Let off some steam.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ### Stay close to home, if possible. The unexpected will occur when you are out.

Authority figures do exactly what is not expected. Do not feel pressured to do anything that doesn’t feel right. Avoid power plays. Tonight: Head home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ### Listen to news that is forthcoming. You might be wondering about the values of less controlling people. Understand that, although you do not want to, you might have to deal with situations involving power plays. Tonight: Return calls before going out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) #### A partner or associate might act in an irresponsible manner. You might not like what is going down. Pressure builds with a new friend, loved one or child. This person makes it clear that he or she wants what he or she wants, and nothing less.

Tonight: Your treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) #### What many people would call shocking, you’ll handle with comparative ease.

Isolate a controlling situation; you might want to stop feeding its dynamics. Express your spirit in a caring way, and you will get responses. Tonight: It is wish-upon-a-star time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ### Take your time when responding to a surprise. You do not want to act on your first impression. You also easily could misread a situation, making more out of it than initially was intended.

Tonight: Cocoon yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) #### Meetings could bring surprising results. If you sit back and give it some thought, the outcome could be most beneficial. Do not force yourself to do what does not feel comfortable, especially with your finances. Give yourself time. Tonight: Where people are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) #### Take a stand if you must. Others might think you are unusually controlling or overly dominant. What they don’t realize is that is just you. Before you continue down this path, make sure it will serve you well.

Tonight: A must appearance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18) ##### Listen to a suggestion more openly.

Your inner voice could be already judging and making decisions. Push that voice away. With renewed vitality and interest, you’ll look at different areas of your life with new eyes.

Tonight: Read between the lines with a loved one.

Tonight: Make it OK to blur the lines of your personal life and your outside life.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS BILLS WR: YOUNG IN GREAT SHAPE

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills receiver David Nelson described free agent quarterback Vince Young as looking in great shape during his workout for the team on Wednesday.

What’s unclear is what the Bills think about Young and whether he fits in their plans.

The Bills provided no update after Young met with coaches and held an on-field workout at the team’s facility.

A person familiar with Young’s travel schedule would only say that the player flew out of Buffalo later in the day. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because no updates had been provided by the team.

Nelson was one of four Bills receivers to run routes and catch passes during the quarterback’s session, and was impressed by Young’s appearance and ability.

“He looked good,” Nelson said, after honoring a teacher and hosting a discussion at Orchard Park High School. “Big guy.

Physical and aggressive.

He’s in shape. He’s definitely in shape working out and working hard.”

The visit was Young’s first this offseason in a bid to find a new team. Young was not re-signed by the Philadelphia Eagles after completing a one-year contract.

Bodemeister is early fave

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bodemeister was made the early 4-1 favorite for the Kentucky Derby on Wednesday, with Union Rags a close second choice at 9-2 in a full field of 20 horses.

T rained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert, Bodemeister drew the No. 6 post. Six horses have won from that position, the last being Sea Hero in 1993.

Bodemeister is the stronger of Baffert’s two horses, having won the Arkansas Derby by 9 1 ⁄ 2 lengths in the most dominating per for mance of the Derby prep races. His other, 50-1 shot Liaison, landed in the No. 20 spot for Saturday’s race.

ALBUQUERQUE — The NMMI doubles team of Bailey Wohler and Mariah Garcia upset the fifth-seeded Robertson duo of Erika Baca and Kristen Herrera, 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-4 on Wednesday at the first day of the NMAA 1A/3A State Doubles Championship.

The Colt duo not only overcame a one-set deficit, but also a 3-0 deficit in the third set, something that impressed coach Jim Kelly.

“It is hard to get to state and they got here,” he said.

“They were down 3-0 in the third set and they were able to win. I am proud of them and the boys (team) is proud of them.”

NMMI’s singles representative Susanna Pesonen lost to sixth-seeded Mikala Verotvec, from Raton, 0-6, 0-6.

Junior Seau dead at 43 in apparent suicide

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Junior Seau, a homegrown superstar who was the fist-pumping, emotional leader of the San Diego Chargers for 13 years, was found shot to death at his home Wednesday morning in what police said appeared to be a suicide.

He was 43.

Police Chief Frank McCoy said Seau’s girlfriend reported finding him unconscious with a gunshot wound to the chest and lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful. A gun was found near him, McCoy said. Police said no suicide note was found and they didn’t immediately know who the gun was registered to.

Seau’s death in Oceanside, in northern San Diego County, stunned the region he represented with almost reckless abandon. The same intensity that got the star linebacker ejected for fighting in his first exhibition game helped carry the Chargers to their only Super Bowl, following the 1994 season. A ferocious tackler, he’d leap up, pump a fist and kick out a leg after dropping a ball carrier or quarterback.

“It’s a sad thing. It’s hard

said.

Seau’s death follows the suicide last year of former Chicago Bears player Dave Duerson, who also shot himself in the chest.

In October 2010, Seau survived a 100-foot plunge down a seaside cliff in his SUV, hours after he was arrested for investigation of domestic violence at the Oceanside home he shared with his girlfriend. The woman had told authorities that Seau assaulted her during an argument.

There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol involved in the crash and Seau told authorities he fell asleep while driving. He sustained minor injuries.

“I just can’t imagine this, because I’ve never seen Junior in a down frame of mind,” Beathard said. “He was always so upbeat and he would keep people up.

He practiced the way he played. He made practice fun. He was a coach’s dream. He was an amazing guy as well as a player and a person. This is hard to believe.”

Seau’s ex-wife, Gina, told the Union-T ribune San Diego that he texted her and each of their three children separate messages: “I

“We’re all in shock,” she said. “We’re beyond sad and beyond shocked. The kids and I are just huddled together at home. There is no way to make sense of this.”

Seau, who played in the NFL for parts of 20 seasons, is the eighth member of San Diego’s lone Super Bowl team who has died, all before the age of 45. Lew

SCOREBOARD

Pettitte agrees he may have misunderstood Clemens

WASHINGTON (AP) — With two short answers, Andy Pettitte called into question the validity of his testimony against Roger Clemens, part of a discouraging day for prosecutors in the retrial of the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.

After stumbling its way to a mistrial of Clemens last year, the government is struggling again in the retrial — to the point that the crux of Pettitte’s testimony might be tossed out. First, the exasperated judge criticized the questioning of Pettitte on Wednesday, then he ruled against prosecutors in another matter. Finally he cried out: “You’re taking positions that are totally absurd to me.”

Pettitte, Clemens’ longtime friend and former teammate, was on the stand for a second day in the trial that is to determine whether Clemens lied at a 2008 congressional deposition and hearing when he denied taking steroids and human growth hormone.

During cross-examination, Clemens’ lawyers got exactly the answers they wanted.

Might Pettitte have misunderstood when Clemens supposedly acknowledged using human growth hormone to Pettitte in a conversation during the 1999-2000 offseason?

“I could have,” Pettitte answered.

Is it fair to say there is a “50-50” chance that Pettitte misunderstood?

“I’d say that’s fair,” Pettitte replied.

The government tried to salvage their witness, but prosecutor Steven Durham’s follow-up questions were lacking — at least in the minds of Clemens’ lawyers and, more importantly, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton. Clemens’ lawyers moved to strike Pettitte’s testimony about the 1999-2000 conversation as “insufficiently definitive.”

The judge seemed to agree, openly wondering why Pettitte wasn’t asked for a current, definitive recollection of the conversation. He repeatedly berated Durham, who was also part of the government team last July when prosecutors showed the jury a snippet of inadmissible videotaped evidence, prompting the mistrial.

“I was waiting for you to ask, and you didn’t ask that,” Walton said.

“My understanding is that (Pettitte’s) position is at this time, he is conflicted. ... His testimony now before the jury is ‘I don’t know,”‘ the judge continued. “I thought that what we would hear is, ‘Mr. Pettitte, current-

The format is a four-person scramble and the tournament begins with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.

The entry fee is $65 per player or $260 per team. Entry fee includes breakfast, lunch, range balls, green fees and cart fees.

The field is limited to the first 24 paid teams and the minimum combined handicap per team is 40.

ly, what is your memory of what Mr. Clemens told you back in 1999?”‘ In other words, the jury might have concluded that maybe Pettitte did “misremember” the conversation, as Clemens has claimed.

Durham tried to contend that he addressed the matter in a different way. The defense will file a brief in support of its position, and Walton could rule on Pettitte’s testimony as early as Thursday.

During his first day on the stand Tuesday, Pettitte recalled the crucial conversation, which took place at Clemens’ home during a workout, as: “Roger had mentioned to me that he had taken HGH.” Pettitte’s testimony — as a reluctant witness with no ulterior motive — is considered vital for the prosecution’s case, which otherwise relies heavily on Brian McNamee, a former strength coach for both Pettitte and Clemens who says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone.

After his testimony, Pettitte signed a baseball in the hallway and left the courthouse in a black SUV without commenting, free to continue his comeback with the New York Yankees.

Inside, the government’s woes continued. Its next witness wasn’t even allowed to take the stand.

Prosecutors had planned to call Steve Fehr, an attorney for the Major League Baseball players’ union. Fehr was supposed to help show, in an indirect manner, that Clemens was aware that former Sen. George Mitchell had tried to contact Clemens when putting together the 2007 Mitchell Report on drug use in baseball.

Clemens was named in the report, prompting Congress to call the February 2008 hearing at which Clemens testified.

Walton said he didn’t understand what Fehr’s testimony would accomplish and that it could amount to “trampling on the attorney-client privilege” because it relies on Fehr’s conversations with Clemens’ lawyers.

Walton said the government should use other evidence to show that Clemens was aware of the Mitchell request.

“Maybe I’m dense,” Walton said, his voice rising. “I’m starting to think that maybe I just don’t understand the law — because you’re taking positions that are totally absurd to me.”

NFL suspends four Saints in bounty scandal Roswell Daily Record

Hoping to close the book on bounties, the NFL suspended New Orleans Saints defensive captain Jonathan Vilma without pay for all of next season Wednesday and gave shorter bans to three other players for their leading roles in the team’s cashfor -hits system that knocked key opponents out of games from 200911.

Defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, now with the Green Bay Packers, was suspended for the first half of the 16-game season; Saints defensive end Will Smith was barred for the opening four games; and linebacker Scott Fujita, now with the Cleveland Browns, will miss the first three games of 2012. Like Vilma, they were suspended without pay, costing each hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The league said its investigation showed “a significant number of players participated” in

favorite and wound up fifth. He went on to win the Preakness and Belmont stakes, the final two legs of the Triple Crown.

“At least we’re in a position where we have a good chance of winning,” Baffert said. “If I got the one-hole I would be thinking they just don’t want me to win this Derby. After Lookin At Lucky, when he got the one-hole, the excitement just left me because I knew he had too much to overcome.”

Baf fert had a heart attack on March 26 in Dubai, scaring his 7-yearold son Bode who was with him, and is the namesake of the Derby favorite.

“I just hope I have a chance to get my heart rate going turning for home,” said Baf fert, whose War Emblem was the last wireto-wire Derby winner in 2002.

Union Rags drew the No. 4 post and was listed second choice on the morning line set by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia.

He is trained by Michael Matz, who won the Derby in 2006 with Barbaro only to have the colt stunningly break down after the start of the Preakness. Barbaro valiantly fought his injuries, but was euthanized eight months later.

“The horses that are around him, the horses in the 1 and 3 don’t have that much speed,” Matz said.

“That should push us closer to where Bodemeister is and we know that horse has speed. It looks like it ends up all right, we just have to be running away from the gate.”

Battaglia said if Bodemeister had drawn the No. 1 or 2 post, he would have made Union Rags the

As attention to concussions has increased in recent seasons, Goodell has emphasized the importance of player safety via rules enforcement and threats of fines or suspensions. The NFL is facing dozens of lawsuits brought by more than 1,000 former players who say the league didn’t do enough to warn them about — or shield them from — the dangers

Roswell ALBUQUERQUE — The Roswell doubles team of Pedro Ruiz and Dylan McArthur lost to fifthseeded Mason Mellott and Adarsh Vangala, from Albuquerque Academy, 60, 6-1 on Thursday at the first round of the NMAA 4A State Doubles Championship.

Roswell’s single representative, Max Macias, lost to Los Alamos’ Stephen T ownsley, the favorite.

“I wanted to make them co-favorites,” he said. “I haven’t been this close on two horses since Curlin and Street Sense (in 2007).

I wanted to make them cofavorites and I didn’t. They went off 10 cents apart.”

Wood Memorial winner Gemologist was the third choice at 6-1 and drew the No. 15 post. The undefeated colt is one of two trained by Todd Pletcher, who won his first Derby in 2010 with Super Saver.

The other, El Padrino, will be in the next stall toward the outside as one of two 20-1 shots.

“I wouldn’t trade places with anybody,” said Elliott Walden, president of WinStar Far m which owns Gemologist.

Since 20 horses can’t fit in one starting gate, an auxiliary gate is used, creating a gap between the No. 14 and 15 posts. That gives horses in those stalls some precious extra room in the chaotic moments after the gates spring open.

“We get a little air there,” Walden said. “If there’s a misstep or something, you kind of recover a little bit without getting jammed up.”

Blue Grass winner Dullahan was the 8-1 fourth choice. He got the No. 5 post, drawing the loudest cheers from his connections.

The No. 1 and No. 14 posts remained open until there were just two spots left, leaving the connections of speedy Hansen and Daddy Long Legs in suspense. UAE Derby winner Daddy Long Legs got the inside stall, while 10-1 shot Hansen avoided the unpopular spot and landed the No. 14 slot.

Through his agent, Vilma issued a statement saying he is “shocked and extremely disappointed” by the punishment and denying he was a bounty ringleader.

“I never set out to intentionally hurt any player and never enticed any teammate to intentionally hurt another player. I also never put any money into a bounty pool or helped to

create a bounty pool intended to pay out money for injuring other players,” Vilma said.

NMMI 21, Tucumcari 9 TUCUMCARI — Ninth-

seeded New Mexico Military Institute romped past No. 8 Tucumcari in the first round of NMAA Class 2A State Baseball Championships, Wednesday.

The Colts exploded for seven runs in the first inning and never looked back en route to a fiveinning victory.

After the seven-run first, NMMI (16-9) tacked on three in the second, seven in the fourth and four in the fifth to get the victory.

Caleb Saiz picked up the win on the mound after allowing five runs on six hits and striking out eight over three complete innings. He was also 2 for 4 at the dish for the Colts.

Richard Trujillo went 3 for 3 with two doubles, three runs scored and four RBIs for NMMI and Thomas Haley was 2 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs. The Colts advanced to

“We’re going to win this race. We’re not worried about anybody. We’ve got the best horse; speed is dangerous.”

tum and a 40-0 lead. Los Alamos got to within 4015 after a double fault and closed to within a point with a winner by Cunningham.

The game went to deuce after a Jennings overhead error at the net, but she made up for it with two fast-twitch gets at the net that gave the Coyotes the first advantage.

Los Alamos got it back to deuce with a wellplaced forehand that Romero couldn’t return and got the second advantage with a double fault.

Los Alamos tied the set at four when Cunningham smoked a backhand down the alley.

Los Alamos then took the final two games of the set to force a deciding third set.

The Hilltoppers had all the momentum heading into the final set and Roswell could have easily crumbled in the third set, but the freshmen duo built each other up, which they both commented on after the match.

“We both get frustrated, but we know how to keep each other going,” Jennings said.

“Jessie helped me a lot,” Romero added. “She made me keep my head up. She made me see reason and

she didn’t let me be dramatic, which helps a lot in this mental sport.”

Roswell coach Kelly McDonald echoed those sentiments.

“Well what I saw (from both of them), is what I have seen from them a lot this year, especially toward the end of the year,” he said. “They know how to help each other out mentally with the match. They know what the other one needs and they usually are able to give that to each other.

“I can help as much as I can through the fence, but 99 percent of the credit goes to them. For them to be doing that as freshmen is amazing.”

The third set was just as tight as the second and, through eight games, the score was knotted at four.

On Jennings’ serve in the ninth game, Roswell took a stranglehold on the match.

Roswell went up 15-0 after an error by Funsten, but Funsten made up for it on the next point and used her incredible length to rob Romero of a winner.

The two teams split the next two points to make it 30-30.

The Coyotes won the ensuing point when Los

Cunningham and Funsten battled back to force a tiebreaker, which would have fazed many freshmen teams, but not these Coyotes.

Jennings ripped a winner on the first point and Cunningham double faulted on the second to give Roswell a quick 2-0 lead.

The lead was pushed to 3-0 on a Cunningham error and, after a Romero error, the Coyotes won a 10-hit rally when Funsten’s forehand down the alley went long.

Los Alamos closed to within 4-2 after a winner at the net by Cunningham, but a double fault

by Funsten pushed the lead to 5-2.

Roswell closed out the first set with an overhead

by Jennings and an error

by Cunningham.

In the second set, neither team could get more than a one-game lead and, with a 4-3 lead, Roswell had a chance to put the pressure on the Hilltoppers.

Jemez Valley 5, Dexter 3 JEMEZ PUEBLO — Dexter took a 3-2 lead in the sixth, but the Warriors came back in the home half of the sixth to get the win in the first round of the NMAA Class 2A State Baseball Championships, Wednesday.

The Demons, who trailed 2-1 going into the sixth, posted two in their half of the inning to seize the lead for the first time.

Jemez Valley came back with three in their half of the sixth, though, to regain the lead.

Edgar Munoz took the loss for Dexter. He gave up five runs on three hits and struck out five in six innings. He also had an RBI at the plate for the

Will Smith also denied a role in the bounties.

“I have never in my career, nor as a captain asked others, to intentionally target and hurt specific opposing players. I was in no way involved in establishing ... a bounty program. The accusations made against me are completely and one-hundred percent false, and I plan to appeal,” he said via statement sent by his publicist.

Justin Salas was 2 for 3 with two RBIs, Ramiro Robles was 1 for 3 with a double and Francisco Duran was 1 for 2.

Dexter finished the season 14-13.

Floyd 5, Gateway Chr. 4 FLOYD — The Broncos plated the game-winning run with one out in the seventh inning to eliminate the Warriors from the Class 1A State Baseball Championships, Wednesday.

Gateway took a 4-1 lead in the sixth, but Floyd came back with three runs in its half of the sixth to tie the game.

Andrew Meeks took the loss for the Warriors after allowing five runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Jacob Moody had the lone hit for the Warriors.

The draw was a traditional pill pull in which horses’ entries are pulled at the same time as a numbered pill to determine what stall a horse will break from the starting gate.

Alamos hit a deep approach shot and had both Cunningham and Funsten at the net. Jennings, who was falling away from the baseline, hit a perfect lob shot that the Hilltoppers could just look at, giving Roswell a 40-30 lead. Roswell took the game with a first-serve winner.

Roswell took a 40-15 lead in the next game, but Los Alamos battled back to force deuce.

The Hilltoppers had the first advantage, but Jennings busted a shot at a poaching Cunningham to force another deuce.

The Coyotes got the next advantage with another lob winner by Jennings and they took the match with an overhead by Jennings.

McDonald was impressed with how his freshmen persevered.

“We had a sizeable lead in the first set and almost gave it away,” he said.

“They played a tough set in the second and dropped it and most freshmen are not going to respond well to that, especially here at a state tournament against seasoned seniors. I can’t say enough about these two girls.” l.foster@rdrnews.com

Congressional hearing in Denver tackles fracking

DENVER (AP) — Western state officials took turns bashing the federal government Wednesday at a congressional field hearing on proposed nationwide drilling rules on hydraulic fracturing.

The field hearing by the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources was called in response to last month’s announcement by the Obama administration that it would seek coordinated federal oversight of natural gas production. The Interior Department, meanwhile, is expected to issue new rules in the next few weeks on natural gas drilling on public lands The federal oversight was denounced by officials from Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, all of which rely heavily on oil and gas production.

“We have a knee-jerk reaction in Washington that the federal government needs to be in charge and be in control, and I couldn’t dis-

“This administration’s anti-energy policies continuously hinder rather than help job creation and energy production.”

agree more,” said Kathleen Clarke, director of the Utah Office of Public Land Policy Coordination.

Shawn Reese, policy director for Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead, testified that 20 percent of the entire state workforce is tied to energy production.

“The importance of natural gas to the state’s economic situation cannot be overstated,” said Reese, who said federal oversight would be “unnecessary and unreasonable.”

Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn, a conservative Republican who heads the subcommittee, introduced the hearing by blasting the

Surveys give mixed picture of China manufacturing SHANGHAI (AP) — Manufacturing surveys released this week provided mixed signals over the state of China’s economy.

A survey released Wednesday showed manufacturing contracted in April for the sixth straight month, though the rate of deterioration had slowed.

Adjusted for seasonal conditions, HSBC’s purchasing managers index, or PMI, for April was 49.3, up from 48.3 in March. The index has remained below 50 — the level indicating expansion, since October.

Companies also reduced jobs, at the sharpest rate in 37 months, HSBC said.

A day earlier, the stateaffiliated China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said its PMI, rose 0.2 percentage points to 53.3 percent in April, up from March’s 53.1 and February’s 51.0 — the fifth straight month of expansion.

The federation’s survey tends to reflect the status of big, state-owned manufacturers, while the HSBC survey is focused more on private and export-sector activity.

The federation said its

Roswell Daily Record

PMI for “small enterprises” fell below 50 last month, in line with the HSBC’s reading.

Still, HSBC said manufacturing output and new business declined at a marginal rate, while new export orders rose at a “fractional rate.”

It said higher costs for fuel and raw materials, labor and transport contributed to worsening conditions.

China’s economic growth fell to 8.9 percent in the final quarter of last year and 8.1 percent in JanuaryMarch, after Beijing hiked interest rates and tightened other controls to cool inflation.

With inflation a lingering threat, policymakers are treading a fine line in trying to spur growth without adding to price pressures.

But easing monetary conditions will likely help boost growth in coming months, HSBC economist Qu Hongbin said in a commentary.

“We expect Chinese GDP growth to bottom out in the second quarter and recover modestly to over 8.5 percent in the second half,” Qu said.

Obama administration and the U.S. Department of Interior for trying to “hijack” state oversight of drilling practices including hydraulic fracturing, also called fracking.

Fracking involves blasting mixtures of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to stimulate the release of gas. It is often combined with horizontal drilling, which can increase production far beyond a vertically drilled well.

“This administration’s anti-energy policies continuously hinder rather than help job creation and energy production,” Lamborn said.

But the Washington-bashing

session quickly veered off script when two Democrats on the panel, and a citizen fracking opponent called to testify, blasted suggestions that there’s no need for national health and safety regulation.

“Do Coloradans react differently to water pollution?” asked a skeptical Rep. Rush Holt, a New Jersey Democrat who attended the field hearing and questioned the state officials who argued against national safety regulation. Holt told a Utah official who testified that her state saw no water contamination in 50 years that perhaps that was because the state wasn’t looking.

The subcommittee also heard from a Colorado mom who has tried unsuccessfully to block a gas drill planned within 600 yards of her daughter’s elementary school.

Jen Palazzolo of Erie, a suburb about 30 miles north of Denver,

testified that state officials haven’t been any more helpful in her fight.

“As a mother who wants nothing but to protect my children, I ask myself every day if we know enough” about fracking, Palazzolo said.

Democratic Rep. Diane DeGette of Denver, who has sponsored unsuccessful bills seeking required disclosure of fracking fluids used by energy companies, argued that all levels of government, including municipalities, should have a say in how and where drilling is done.

She pointed out that technological advances in direction drilling and fracking have brought the drilling procedure closer to populated areas, triggering a need for more governmental oversight.

“We’re drilling in a lot of places with hydraulic fracturing where we weren’t before,” DeGette said.

Eurozone unemployment hits record high LONDON (AP) — Pressure is growing on Europe’s leaders to focus less on austerity and more on stimulating growth as the 17 countries that use the euro face record high unemployment and a recession that is spreading across the region.

Eurozone unemployment rose by 169,000 in March, official figures showed Wednesday, taking the rate

up to 10.9 percent — its highest level since the euro was launched in 1999.

The seasonally adjusted rate was up from 10.8 percent in February and 9.9 percent a year ago and contrasts sharply with the picture in the U.S., where unemployment has fallen from 9.1 percent in August to 8.2 percent in March.

Economies across the eurozone

are contracting as governments enact austerity measures — spending cuts and higher taxes — to reduce their budget deficits and slow the growth of their debts.

Eight eurozone countries — including Greece, Spain and the Netherlands — have seen their economies shrink for two straight quarters or more, the common definition of a recession.

Sears executives say retailer is financially strong

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (AP) — Sears executives tried Wednesday to ease concerns about the troubled retailer’s longterm outlook amid ever -sinking sales, emphasizing the company’s financial strength, increased liquidity and prospects to boost operational results.

Chairman Edward Lampert told shareholders at Sears Holdings Corp.’s annual meeting that the company is “not planning to just survive” but thrive as a result of actions it’s taking to not only win back disillusioned shoppers but get more productivity out of its real estate holdings.

“We’re not just sitting here thinking that things will magically get better,” Lampert said at a media briefing after the meeting at company headquarters in Hoffman Estates.

2011 and because of the years-long decline in sales at its Sears and Kmart stores. Revenue at U.S. stores open at least a year, a key indicator of retailers’ performance, fell 2.2 percent last year.

Sears had announced a day before the meeting that it expects to show much better results from the first quarter, including an operating profit and an overall gain helped by the sale of some of its 4,000 U.S. and Canadian stores. That sent its stock up sharply.

It expects to raise $400 million to $500 million by spinning off its smaller Hometown and Outlet stores as well as some hardware stores — a deal announced in February. It also sold 11 of its stores to real estate company General Growth Properties for $270 million and plans to cut inventory by $580 million.

“We’ve lost people’s confidence,” he said.

“I think we’re beginning to get it back again.”

Sears made progress in its operations during the first quarter, he said, but needs to execute its retail strategy better even as it examines further options with its huge holdings that make it one of the world’s largest owners of real estate.

that the company is shopping its Lands’ End clothing business, saying it’s not unusual to be approached about potential sales. He said Lands’ End is “a very special brand.”

CEO Lou D’Ambrosio said Sears is working to restore its profitability in three ways: financial and operational discipline, retail excellence and innovation in the customer experience.

Under D’Ambrosio, formerly the CEO at Avaya Inc., Sears has invested several hundred million dollars in improving the customer experience. Changes include giving sales staff almost 15,000 iPads and iPod Touch devices so they can research products and help customers check out wherever they are in a store. It’s also improving displays and adding more high-tech washing machines and other appliances.

DEAR TEXAS TOM: Although as a young man you were prone to rash actions, as a mature one you gained the ability to control your temper. Had you confronted the boor, the situation would have escalated and you could have wound up in the pokey charged with assault. I’m advising you that you were correct to do nothing. The man is lucky your wife didn’t “serve” him a fist sandwich. A lesser woman might have. #####

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: While standing in a serving line at a restaurant, a man commented to my wife about her weight. She was very upset. My take was, “Don’t talk to strange men.” Later, I wondered whether I should have confronted the guy, slugged him or waited for him in the parking lot.

As a young man I was prone to rash actions. I would like to think in my golden years that I have outgrown this tendency. Still, I’m not sure I handled the situation correctly. I want my wife to be confident that I would come to her defense. Please advise.

TEXAS TOM

DEAR ABBY: When my husband, “Jeff,” and I married, we drew up a medical proxy and health-care directives should future incapacitation arise.

Jeff is now terminally ill with brain cancer and has about five months to live. Over the last two years he has been through four surgeries, 25 doses of radiation, countless doctors’ appointments, physical therapy and enough pills to fill a steamer trunk. I had to quit working because Jeff is now my fulltime job.

As his illness progresses, we have discussed placing him in a

COMICS

hospice. But the closer he gets to death, the more he changes his mind. He demands that I lift, jerk and pull him in and out of bed.

When I can no longer do this, he wants me to install a hoist. He needs assistance eating, dressing, bathing, using the toilet and is in a wheelchair.

Jeff’s tumor is growing, causing pressure and affecting his mental attitude. He’s impatient, demanding, selfish and nasty. I’m caring for him at home because it’s his home and I am his wife. Somehow, his illness makes him feel entitled to act like a selfish child. At what point do I put him in a hospice facility without his family calling me a nasty witch and Jeff kicking and screaming to be let out and return home?

END OF MY ROPE

DEAR END: Please accept my sympathy.

Your husband is sick and in pain, probably frightened and the cancer may have affected his ability to think rationally.

If you haven’t discussed this with your husband’s doctor, you

must. It may not be necessary to place Jeff in an in-patient facility because many ter minally ill patients can receive the same care in their homes. However, it will take a referral from a doctor, certifying that your husband has six months or less to live. Much of the cost is covered by Medicare, and most insurance also covers it.

Hospice provides visits from doctors, nurses, home health care aides and volunteers who can help with bathing your husband, changing his linens and some of the lifting that you’re worried about. For your sake and his, you should contact the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. It can help you find a hospice provider.

The toll-free phone number is 800658-8898 or log onto www.nhpco.org.

Because you’re afraid of criticism from Jeff’s family, tell them that he — and you — need them to step in and help with his care because it has become more than you can handle alone. If they agree, it will give them precious time with him. If not, they’ll be in no position to criticize you.

Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the above cartoon.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Heloise: I wanted to warn people about this but didn’t know who to tell — then I thought of you!

We have a GAS CLOTHES DRYER and discovered that any small item in a load (bandana, washcloth, hot pad, ladies undergarments, etc.) can be sucked up against the exhaust outlet and stick there. The drum vanes are not far enough in back to knock it off. The dryer gets hotter and hotter. The burner makes a roaring sound, and one begins to smell scorch.

This can be very dangerous. Perhaps all dryer fires are not from lint. We clean our lint trap after every load. I no longer dry small items in the dryer, and I am never far from it when it is running.

Julia C. in Arkansas Good warning! You are right about cleaning the lint trap after every use. Don’t run the dryer when you are not there. Don’t start the washer or dryer and then leave to run a quick errand. When you have multiple small items, put them in a lingerie bag before placing in the dryer. This will prevent them from getting caught on anything in the dryer. Better safe than sorry!

Dear Readers: Here are some simple hints to reduce the amount of garbage that you and your family put into landfills: * Use cloth napkins instead of paper. * Take your lunch to work or school in reusable bags or containers. * Use a sponge or microfiber cloth instead of paper towels to clean around the house. * Take reusable bags whenever you go shopping. * Take advantage of community recycling programs for paper, glass, aluminum and plastic products.

Dear Heloise: I have a part-time job while my wife works full time. My job is doing the laundry. We live in a condo with washing machines in the back. Many times I forget to put in the fabric softener. So now, after putting clothes in the washing machine, I come in and set a timer.

When the bell goes off, I know that it’s time to put in the softener.

Dear Heloise: The wax cereal-box liners are great. When opening cereal, do so carefully so as not to rip the top of the bag. Then use them to wrap baked goods and homemade bread.

These items will stay fresh for several days — just put in a wax bag, fold over the top and clip shut.

These bags also work well in the freezer. They help to prevent “freezer burn” and are like a gift, as they are “free”!

Journalists had been using the phones to send emails with details from the trial.

A media liaison for the of t en qu i ck - t em p er e d Burns said the judge had gi ve n r e po rt e r s a m p le warning that their phones could be yanked if they didn’t remember to switch them to ‘silent’ during the trial for William Balfour, Hudson’s former brotherin-law. He is accused of k il lin g t he a c t r e s s a n d singer’s mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew in a fit of jealous rage over his then-wife.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California teen charged in a driveby shooting and the theft of a celebrity chef’s Lamborghini kept an arsenal that included assault rifles, cellphonejamming equipment and police gear, authorities said.

The items were stashed at a storage container rented by 17-year -old Max Michael Wade, who now faces a slew of charges including attempted murder, vehicle theft and commercial burglary.

The teen from tony Marin County inadvertently led investigators to the storage facility in Richmond, where they found the two assault rifles and shotgun shells, a San Francisco Police Department uniform and badge and false identification cards for California, Florida and New York, according to court documents obtained by the Marin Independent Journal.

There, investigators also found a motorcycle and gun linked to an April 13 drive-by shooting at two teenagers in a pickup truck and chef Guy Fieri’s yellow 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, Marin sheriff’s Detective Greg Garrett said in the documents.

Investigators say they’re still looking into how Wade obtained the weapons and police gear and whether he had ac com pl ice s in t h e s op hist icat ed March 2011 car heist at a San Francisco dealership, where police said someone rappelled into the showroom then drove off with the $200,000 convertible.

met, according to Garrett’s affidavit.

Investigators tracked the helmet purchase to a San Francisco retail store, which pr ovided video of the buyer, whom one of the shooting victims identified as Wade.

After placing him under surveillance, investigators tracked him Saturday to the Richmond storage facility, where they saw him drive out in the Lamborghini.

When Wade returned, they arrested him with a loaded Glock handgun in his waistband and $1,500 and a false driver’s license in his wallet, the affidavit said.

Wade, who was charged as an adult Tuesday, is being held on $2 million bail and is due back in court May 10, when he’s expected to enter a plea.

“He’s only 17, so he is still a child,” defense attorney Charles Dresow told the San Francisco Chr onicle after Tuesday’s hearing. “He is entitled to the presumption of innocence.”

A phone listing could not be found Wednesday for Wade or any family members, and Dresow declined comment on the teen’s personal life.

Randy Wahlstrom, whose nephew was one of the shooting victims, told the Chronicle that the former Redwood High School classmates had a dispute over a gir l t h ey b ot h li ked . Wad e threatened Wahlstrom’s nephew after he posted an unflattering comment about Wade on Facebook, the uncle said.

Neither Wahlstrom’s nephew nor the teen girl in the truck was seriously hurt in the shooting.
