Football tourney expected to generate millions

BY JEFF TUCKER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Organizers of the 19th annual Hike It and Spike It 4-on-4 charity flag football tournament are expecting even larger crowds this year, and an even greater multi-million dollar economic impact to Roswell.

There will be about 180 more participating players than last year’s 3,727 players, said local co-organizer Cla Avery.

“We’re right at 4,000 players,” Avery said Wednesday. “We’re 25 teams larger than last year.”

Roswell’s population of nearly 50,000 people is expected to swell as a result of the three-day

Memorial Day weekend tour nament, Friday through Monday, hosted by the Roswell Chamber of Commerce. About 42,000 people attended last year’s tour nament over three days.

“It’s awesome,” Avery said. “It’s controlled mayhem.”

The annual Memorial Day weekend flag football tour nament has become Roswell’s largest weekend event of the year. It is also the world’s largest 4-on-4 flag football tournament with the world’s largest pay-out.

The championship team in the Show Me The Money Men’s division will receive a $10,000 prize. Second- and third-place teams in the

division will win $3,000 and $2,000 prizes, respectively.

“We’re just all very excited and looking for a great weekend,” Avery said. “It’s an alcohol-free, tobaccofree family-oriented event.

It’s the Woodstock of flag football.”

The influx of people had an estimated direct economic impact to the Roswell area of $3.5 million last year, and an indirect economic impact of $13.1 million, according to the Roswell Chamber of Commerce.

Last year, when the tournament had 556 teams, the event generated an estimated $521,780 in lodging revSee FOOTBALL, Page A3

Los Alamos says waste containers have been isolated

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — Los Alamos National Laboratory told the state on Wednesday that it has isolated and is closely monitoring nuclear waste on its campus that was packed with a type of cat litter suspected in a radiation leak at the government’s underground nuclear waste dump.

Responding to an order from state regulators for a detailed plan, the lab said the 55-gallon barrels have been secured in special containers and moved to an isolated area with a fireprotection system. They also are being monitored

24 hours a day for any change in temperature, smoking or other abnormalities.

“Los Alamos is committed to securing and isolating this waste while we continue to investigate the cause of the February release,” the lab said in a statement.

The state Environment Department said officials are “conducting a thorough technical review of their ongoing efforts .... and look forward to continued coop-

El Capitan Elementary School held a closing ceremony on May 14. The new $13 million, 60,000-square-foot building will accommodate 446 students and open for the next school year. The current school building will be demolished and replaced by a new playground. Former staff, alumni and friends toured the building, viewed scrapbooks from years gone by and shared memories. There are several second-generation students attending, as well as former students who are now teachers. Above: The flag was lowered for the last time at El Capitan. It will be raised again in August.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With outrage mounting over veterans’ health care, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that allegations of misconduct at VA hospitals will not be tolerated, and he left open the possibility that Secretary Eric Shinseki, a disabled war veteran, could be held to account.

“I will not stand for it — not as commander in chief but also not as an American,” Obama said following an Oval Office meeting with the embattled Shinseki.

Congress moved to keep up the pressure on the administration, with the

House easily approving a measure Wednesday evening that would give the VA secretary more authority to fire or demote the 450 senior career employees who serve as hospital directors or executives in the agency’s 21 regions. The vote was 390 to 33.

Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, sponsored the measure, saying VA officials who have presided over mismanagement or negligence are more likely to receive bonuses or glowing performance

NMMI, Rogers State New nat’l monument sparks border concerns announce partnership

New Mexico Military Institute and Rogers State University, Claremore, Okla., have announced a partnership allowing students who earn an associate’s degree from NMMI to seamlessly transfer into RSU bachelor’s degree program.

The two schools on April 23 signed an articulation agreement allowing NMMI students who earn an associate’s degree to transfer to RSU. “Rogers State possesses the same standards for excellence we have at NMMI,” said Major Gen. Jerry W. Grizzle, NMMI superintendent. “I believe this partnership between

like-minded institutions will be a benefit to our students.”

Grizzle, an Oklahoma native, said the agreement is a natural fit for the school, which is the nation’s only land grant coeducational college preparatory high school and junior college in the United States operating on a military platform. NMMI enrolls about 1,000 students from 44 states and more than 20 countries.

TODAY’S FORECAST

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday declared almost a half-million acres of rugged desert terrain along the U.S.-Mexico border as a national monument, marking the largest swath of land to be set aside for that purpose since he took office.

While praised by environmentalists, the move is generating criticism from some lawmakers in the West and local law enforcement agents who see Obama’s use of power as a threat to security in a region where the influence of Mexican drug cartels, human smuggling and illegal immigration are all apparent.

House Speaker John Boehner and others also

complained that the designation of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument in southern New Mexico is the latest example of Obama taking unilateral action to sidestep Congress.

“Once again, the president has chosen to bypass the legislative branch — and, in this case, do so in a manner that adds yet another challenge in our ongoing ef forts to secure our southern border,” Boehner said. “At a time of continued cartel violence in Mexico, we should not be putting any additional restraints on ef forts to protect our borders.”

Burglars target guns

Three aggravated bur-

glaries occurred in Roswell on Tuesday, according to police.

“We haven’t had so many aggravated burglaries all at once in a while,” said Sabrina Morales, Roswell Police Department public information liaison.

The first incident occurred on the 3200 block Alhambra Drive, where a handgun valued at $200 was reported stolen from vehicle. The door to the vehicle was pried open, Morales said.

In the second burglary, the victim was the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office,

enues in Roswell, and an estimated $954,112 in lodging revenues outside of Roswell, the chamber reported. It also generated an estimated $2,072,760 of on-site revenues for meals, fuel and souvenirs.

“It’s the biggest tourist event in Roswell,” said Mayor Dennis Kintigh.

“There are more people that come for this than anything else in the year.

It’s a huge deal. We’re going to have a mob of people. We want everyone to have a great time, a safe time, a fun time, so they come back next year and bring friends. We want more teams and more people.”

Twenty states were represented at last year’s tournament, when there were 556 teams. Players ranged in age from 4 to 57, and played simultaneously on 37 fields at the Cielo Grande Recreation Complex. Avery said there were 4,000 to 5,000 vehicles parked at the complex last year.

Finding a hotel or motel room in Roswell this weekend is virtually impossible, Avery said.

“The hotels have been booked since January or February,” Avery said.

“There are no rooms, according to what I’ve been told by all the hotel and motel people. There just isn’t anything available. Artesia is completely booked. We’re sending people to Carlsbad, Ruidoso and Portales.”

According to last year’s records, 1,486 of the players were from Roswell, 1,565 players were from New Mexico towns other than Roswell, and 462 players were from Texas. In addition, the tournament has hundreds of volunteers.

The players, their friends and family, and

VA

spectators will bring with them their appetites and local restaurants and pubs are expecting a whirlwind of activity.

“They should do awesome,” Avery said. “Everybody should be slampacked this weekend.”

Ramon Chavez, manager of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar in Roswell, said his restaurant is scheduling extra staffing in preparation of the football tournament and the New Mexico Military Institute’s 119th commencement ceremony on Saturday.

“We’re actually expecting a big crowd for the Hike It and Spike It and the NNMI graduation,” Chavez said. “It’s probably going to be as busy as Valentine’s Day, if not busier.”

The Roswell Museum and Art Center also expects to benefit from the influx of visitors.

“Often it does bring families in,” said museum registrar Kenna Arganbright.

Mike Acezedo, general manager of Farley’s Food Fun & Pub, said he expects to see a lot of football players and spectators seeking some cool drinks and food after the games.

“Hike It and Spike It is one of the busiest weekends in town,” Acezedo said. “Farley’s is the place to be to get out of the sun and enjoy some great food and good drinks. We’re expecting a big crowd. It’s one of the busiest weekends in the year. Any business is always good.”

James Martin, owner of Martin’s Jewelry & Gifts, said the flag football weekend presents more potential customers and more window-shopping at the city’s gift shops.

“We see a little bit more traffic, but they’re just out here cruising and looking,” Martin said. “It couldn’t hurt, but I don’t know how good it is. It can’t hurt anything.”

Jim Matteucci, chairman of the board of Bank of the Southwest and local co-organizer, said the event would not be possible without all the help it gets from the city of Roswell, including $20,000 of seed money from city lodgers’ tax proceeds.

“Just about every city department is involved in the event,” Matteucci said. “The Parks and Rec Department prepared the facility, including blading of roads, mowing of parking areas, erecting a fence for crowd and traffic control. The Sanitation Department will put seven roll-up dumpsters at the park. The Streets Department will be out there all weekend controlling the dust with their water truck. They put up all the street barricades and cones and traf fic signs. The police department, fire department, state police will all be here in force this weekend. The event wouldn’t happen without the help from the city.”

Matteucci said preparations will include a temporary hospital at Cielo Grande erected by Eastern New Mexico Medical Center.

“On top of that, we have over 400 volunteers that give us their time to make this event not just any event, but an amazing event,” Matteucci said.

Kintigh said the annual tour nament creates a much-needed boost in revenues to the city.

“The city really relies on gross receipt taxes,” Kintigh said. “This is a huge boost for the city.

We want to encourage people to participate, come out and watch, and come out and cheer on your favorite team and spend money.”

Kintigh will kick off the tournament with a short address to the crowds at 8 a.m. Saturday at Cielo Grande.

reviews than any sort of punishment. He declared that a “widespread and systemic lack of accountability is exacerbating” the department’s problems.

The White House said it supported the goal of seeking greater accountability at the VA but had unspecified concerns about the legislation.

The growing furor surrounding the Department of Veterans Affairs centers on allegations of treatment delays and preventable deaths at VA hospitals. The department’s inspector general’s office says 26 facilities are being investigated nationwide, including a Phoenix hospital facing allegations that 40 people died while waiting for treatment and staff kept a secret list of patients in order to hide delays in care.

The allegations have raised fresh concerns about the Obama administration’s management of a department that has been struggling to keep up with the influx of new veterans returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama’s comments Wednesday — his first on the matter in more than three weeks — signaled a greater

“We are going to fix whatever is wrong, and so long as I have the privilege of serving as commander in chief, I’m going to keep on fighting to deliver the care and the benefits and the opportunities that you and your families deserve, now and for decades to come,” Obama said.

Yet the president’s remarks did little to quell the criticism of both the VA troubles and his own handling of the matter.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war, said Obama’s comments were “wholly insufficient in addressing the fundamental, systemic problems plaguing our veterans’ health care system.”

And the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans service organization, said Obama was making an “unfortunate” decision by keeping Shinseki at the helm of the VA.

“Words are nice, and even somewhat comforting, but when will the VA’s house be cleansed of those who are soiling it and dishonoring the system?” American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger said in a statement.

OPINION

Edsels, ‘safety corridors,’ and a German photographer The road lured us away the first part of May. My wife wanted to see the ocean. So we did the traditional California Highway 1 drive: Santa Barbara, Monterey, San Francisco. Seven hotels in 12 days. By the fifth hotel, I was getting room-number mental fatigue.

432? 234?

The remarkable image prize winner was the SUV carrying two Edsels on a trailer, one a sedan, the other a station wagon, probably a 1960 model. The only sensible reason for hauling the cars across eastern Arizona is restoration. They badly need the work.

Edsels occupy a special small place in my history, dating to the long ago confluence of a late night, rain, a curb and an Edsel, which suffered a broken axle. (I wasn’t driving, and, no, we weren’t drinking.)

One of those “safety corridors” straddles Interstate-40 in the

vicinity of Thoreau. Heading west, it didn’t register. Returning home, perhaps the baby Jaguar from California disappearing into the horizon sparked some questions, or possibly the bright yellow signs with corridor instructions.

The state Department of Transportation has designated several routes as safety corridors because of high accident rates. Typically, the state r educes speed limits and increases policing. Yellow signs instruct drivers to turn on their lights and warn that fines for

Roswell Daily Record

speeding in the zone are doubled, the latter an item that didn’t faze the baby Jag. Is there a statutory basis for the zone, the lights-on instruction and fine doubling? Is it one of those moral suasion items, to subtly coerce because nearly all of us do what we are supposed to do?

More important is that we, the taxpayers, provided the money to pay people to invent all this fussing with our behavior.

Someone had the idea, got bur eaucracies to accept it, found budget money, picked the location, doubled the fines and designed and produced the yellow signs, all in all a scary creeping expansion of government.

Best of all were the two green signs just beyond the end of the zone, one on each side of the road. Each contained one word, “Lights.” That’s it, just, “Lights.”

During dinner at the worthy Mattinas Ristorante in Kingman, Ariz., we visited with a California couple, commuters to Santa Fe. They work on “the wreck” of a house purchased a few years ago. At an eastern Arizona I-40 rest stop, we chatted with an Iowa couple who commute to Albuquerque. They spoke highly of Los Poblanos Inn where they have stayed three times.

In Monter ey, Calif., a man photographed the back of our car. Naturally, I was curious.

Bald, blond and middle-aged, he was from Hamburg, Germany, making him a “Hamburger,” and on his first trip to the United States. Speaking excellent English, he said he collected license plate images. Our blue New Mexico centennial plate got his attention. I explained that the plate was produced just for the centennial, hoping that was cor-

rect. An oversight was forgetting to call attention to the Zia Sun symbol on the plate. Sorry.

The license plates seem the only obvious New Mexico centennial items remaining. Arizona centennial signs dot the state.

A May 8 Navajo T imes story seen in Gallup reported the first anniversary of the Twin Arrows Navajo Casino and the opening of another 100 rooms. Twin Arrows is just next to the middle of nowhere on flat land east of Flagstaff.

Driving east out of California on I-10, Arizona greeted us with two closed rest stops.

A happy policy discovery was the Morrison Institute for Public Policy at Arizona State University in Phoenix. New Mexico should consider something similar.

LETTERS Dear Editor, A closed primary is a private primary.

Yet, it’s 100 percent paid for by taxpayers, nearly a quarter of whom are independents who are barred from participating.

Observers of our polarized democracy often blame these closed party primaries for producing some of our most extreme politicians and policies. To compound the problem, our voting districts are gerrymandered every 10 years by the current party in power and the lines drawn for the party to increase their power, not to increase voter turnout or diversify voter representation.

Currently in New Mexico, 22 percent of all registered voters can’t vote in the primary election (19 percent decline to state and 3 percent registered with the two alternative parties). Even those “allowed” to vote are offered an abridged ballot with only half of all options presented on their ballots. But there is a cure.

A top two, open primary would allow all registered voters the right to vote in a primary election. There would be only one ballot for all voters regardless of party affiliation. The top two vote getters go on to the general election. This would force candidates to make a broader appeal resulting in more moderate candidates willing to compromise for the greater good of all Americans, rather than the members of their own political party.

As things stand currently, the Republican and Democrat parties determine our talking points, the issues we are allowed to vote on, and fuel the war between the parties. Ours is a system focused not on collective problem-solving, but on a struggle for power between two private organizations. Party activists control access to the ballot through closed party primaries, and partisan leaders design congressional districts. Once elected to Congress, our representatives are divided into warring camps. Partisans decide which bills to take up, what witnesses to hear, what amendments to allow.

In his farewell speech to the nation in 1796, President George Washington provided what has proven to be remarkable insight warning about the influence of political parties. These parties, Washington penned, “serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of the party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community.” More than 200 years later, Washington’s words are startlingly accurate.

We elect our leaders, and then they govern in a system that makes cooperation almost impossible and incivility nearly inevitable, a system in which the campaign season never ends and the struggle for party advantage trumps all other consideration including what is truly best for America and American citizens.

What matters today is the restoration of American democracy. Giving voters the fullest range of options and choices when it comes to selecting their leaders.

Dear Editor, I am visiting Roswell and was disappointed that the Roswell Daily Record chose to dedicate such a large section of the front page to Roswell politics and on the next page there is a brief article about an unimaginable tragedy and loss (“Toddler dies from injuries”).

New energy sources make American great How energy from mountain top removal, fracking, and tar sands makes America great Recently I received the following email: “Please explain how energy from mountain top removal, fracking, and tar sands makes America great.”

Greg’s email to me used terms that lead to three different energy sources: coal, natural gas, and oil—and each have been big contributors to America’s progress and prosperity. Each has made the personal lives of Americans more pleasant and less painful. Together these energy sources have made America energy secure.

The email used the term “mountain top removal,” which is a method by which coal can be mined. It is safer than underground mining because it virtually removes the risk of mine accidents. Greg likely selected the term “mountain top removal” because it sounds harsh. In fact, in the mountainous regions of Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia, this surface mining process allows for hospitals, housing developments, schools, and shopping centers to be built—which bring more economic development and jobs.

The area is filled with hills and valleys— but no place to create a community.

I’ve toured regions where “mountain top removal” is being done and stood on top of the massive coal seam. The mountains contain a thick layer of coal that goes all the way through it. To access it,

MARITA NOON COLUMNIST

the dirt, the mountaintop, is carved away and the coal is then removed.

In the past, when the coal had been extracted, a private landowner could ask the mining company to level out the land—making it economically productive.

However, today’s regulations take away that property owner’s rights and require that the mountain be rebuilt and put back to its original condition.

The coal provides, and has provided, America with low-cost, base-load electricity — which has given us a competitive advantage in the global marketplace and unmatched personal progress. And, therefore, energy from mountain top removal makes America Great.

Fracking—short for hydraulic fracturing—combined with the amazing technology of horizontal drilling, has brought America into a new era of energy abundance. In an article titled “The Shale Gas Paradigm,” Jim Clarkson, an electrical generation expert, states: “Gas using industries are expanding while we enjoy a

distinct advantage over the rest of the world.” He explains: “Shale gas lay worthless beneath the earth’s surface for the whole of man’s previous existence until human intelligence made it valuable”— and that was done with fracking.

Clarkson points out: “There were no federal programs with subsidies, tax breaks, and mandated markets to favor the shale industry. … The new shale order of things is a triumph of free enterprise over government planning. The shale revolution shows that the good old American know-how and individual initiative that made this country great have survived the burden of big government and can still create economic miracles.”

Clarkson closes with: “Some observers are already calling this the century of natural gas. This could also be the century of prosperity, free markets, and optimism as America regains its energy mojo.”

Unlike the pariah Greg presumes fracking to be, it is responsible for the shale gas phenomenon.

Last, Greg asked about tar sands and how they make America great. Tar sands allow America to get oil from our friendly Canadian neighbor and reduce our need to import OPEC’s oil. We then refine that oil into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that fuels our transportation fleet—something that wind and solar power cannot do.

Link between fats, heart disease not entirely clear

DEAR DOCTOR K: Here we go again. After years of hearing that diets rich in saturated fats increase the risk for heart disease, I hear a new study says that’s not so. What gives?

DEAR READER: I don’t blame you for being frustrated. So let me start with the bottom line: Take this new study with several grains of salt. (Incidentally, it still is true that too much salt is bad for your health, so just a few grains, please.)

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, you heard a lot about how fat was bad for you. That led a lot of people to switch from foods rich in fat to foods rich in carbohydrates. During the 1990s, nutrition scientists began to distinguish the health ef fects of dif ferent types of fat. Their message was simple: There are “bad fats,” but there also are “good

fats.” (They also pointed out that there are “good carbs” and there are “bad carbs.” But we’ll leave carbs for another column.)

The first type of bad fat identified was saturated fats. These are abundant in fatty red meats and in dairy products (milk, cream, cheese, ice cream) that have not been treated to lower the saturated fat content.

In the mid-1990s, trans fats were incriminated as bad fats.

Diets rich in trans fats were found to be even worse for your health — particularly heart health — than saturated fats. Trans fats in our diets largely come from foods processed by manufacturers, such as stick margarine. They were created in order to extend the shelf life of foods.

T rans fats can be found in commercially made cookies, cakes and biscuits, and in other processed foods such as frozen pizza and coffee creamer.

On the other hand, in the 1990s the evidence grew that polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats are good for your health — again, particularly for heart health.

Polyunsaturated fats are abundant in fish, nuts, seeds and vegetables, as well as in soybean, corn, cottonseed, safflower, sunflower and fish

oils. Olive oil is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and also has polyunsaturated fats.

The study you referred to is a new analysis of 72 studies that included more than 600,000 people. It was published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Like prior studies, the new study found that diets rich in trans fats were unhealthy.

The surprise was that it found no evidence that saturated fats increased the risk of heart disease. In another surprise, the study didn’t find any heart-protective benefits from polyunsaturated “good” fats.

I’m not changing my eating habits based on this new study. Several nutrition scientists that I respect believe the See DR. K, Page A5

Maintaining high standards at Art Center Roswell Daily Record

BY MICHAEL HALL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SARA WOODBURY, CURATOR OF COLLECTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS

It is our belief as the staff of the Roswell Museum and Art Center that this institution serves as an important cultural anchor for the community. Being a municipal museum, it is the support of the City of Roswell that allows us at the RMAC to serve you all.

We take that service very seriously. As city employees, we are expected to maintain high standards. The RMAC is an American Alliance of Museums accredited institution. We also follow the Association of Art Museum Director’s and Curator’s Best Practices and Standards guidelines.

This is the highest level of conduct and accreditation a national museum can attain, and considerable responsibilities in management and community service come with this status. Chief among them is a commitment to follow national museum standards.

I have been to the tar sands of Canada and what they are doing there is, like fracking and horizontal drilling, a technological miracle.

If you have ever walked on a California beach and stepped on a tar ball (created when the oil seeps out of the ground and is washed ashore mixed with sand), you have a clue what the tar sands are like. The naturally occurring tar sands are a layer in the earth (much like coal).

This layer has raw crude oil mixed with the dirt/sands. I recall driving to the tar sands from the town where we stayed. As the elevation increased, I noticed that trees reached a certain height and then died. It was explained that as soon as the roots hit the bitumen (or tar) it kills the tree.

At the extraction site, the tar sands are bulldozed and dumped into giant trucks (much like surface coal mining). The tar and sand mixture is processed to separate the oil and the sand.

(Think of taking that tar ball from the beach and boiling it. The oil melts and floats while the sand drops to the bottom.) The oil is now available for use and the clean sand is put back into the earth — only now the

Accordingly, we are working to update and refine the RMAC’s long-range strategic plan, which will include exciting projects in the areas of programing and permanent exhibit upgrades.

Programming will be expanded to better serve younger audiences as well as adults, but the focus will be on multigenerational programming to encourage family participation.

Upgrades to per manent exhibits are already in the planning stages. Currently, bids are being taken to replace the glass panels in the Goddard exhibit area with tempered panes, as

trees can actually grow.

The reclaimed land is teeming with wildlife that lives in the healthy forest the extraction process provides. As a result, when the Keystone pipeline is approved, America would be far less dependent on people who aim to do us harm and OPEC couldn’t cause an instant recession as it did in 1973.

And that, Greg, is how tar sands can make America greater.

Yes, mountain top removal — or coal; fracking—or natural gas; and tar sands — or oil, make America great.

Some people want to interfere with, restrict, and hamper North America’s energy abundance — which will take away America’s ability to provide cheap and reliable power to her citizens and take away the ability to grow the economy and create wealth. Why would anyone want to do that?

well as to upgrade the lighting in those cases. We would also like to upgrade the cabinetry in the Goddard exhibit spaces. With the Goddard Aiming for the Stars event being planned for Oct. 17 and 18, the timing and enthusiasm is right to begin seeking underwriting for these projects.

Another key part of the strategic plan is to move our exhibition planning from a one-year to a three-year schedule, which will benefit the museum in several ways.

In addition to providing more time to conduct research, secure loans of work from other muse-

Thursday, May 22, 2014

ums, and prepare exhibit materials, establishing a three-year schedule will also allow us to apply for grants, which will provide the funding needed to launch more ambitious shows.

Our eventual goal is to extend the planning schedule to five years, which will give our staff plenty of time to create and implement high-quality exhibits worthy of our museum.

The full schedule is currently in the making, but it will be launched next spring with an exhibit in the Hunter Gallery of Esther Goddard’s photos of her husband’s remarkable career.

This exhibit will consider our holdings from a women’s history perspective, and will give Mrs. Goddard due credit as a significant force behind her husband’s accomplishments.

Select photos chosen from the hundreds that Esther took at the Mescalero Ranch, where Goddard launched his rockets, will be the focus, and will be complemented with select three-dimensional objects as well.

We are also planning a 2015 summer exhibit featuring World

War Two sketches from artists such as Howard Cook, who served as an art correspondent in the Pacific, and Peter Hurd, who flew with the 8th Air Force over Europe.

Today, few people realize how important sketch artists were at that time. Photography was widely used, of course, but magazines such as “Life� and the “Saturday Evening Post� relied heavily on artistic renderings to bring emotion to their widelyread articles.

This was very much the psychological equivalent of cable news to us today, and these drawings will be sure to attract many new visitors to our galleries to honor the sacrifices made during the war years.

Many other ideas are being considered. As in all projects at this museum, we need support and input from the public.

Please contact us at hall@roswellmuseum.org with your ideas on how we can grow.

We look to the future as the RMAC continues its service to our community.

Apples falling from the tree Q. I have noticed small apples falling from my apple tree. Is something wrong? I hope I will be able to harvest some apples this year. I had no crop at all last year.

A. There are several things that can cause apples to drop from the tree. Insects, such as codling moth larvae feeding in the apples can cause them to fall early, but that usually happens later in the year.

Some chemical applications can cause fruit thinning and drop. Some chemicals are intended for this purpose, but some insecticides, such as carbaryl insecticide, have a secondary effect of causing fruit thinning.

Have you sprayed fruit thinner or insecticides?

The most likely causes at this time of year ar e environmental factors can cause natural thinning of fruit. These factors are a change from cool weather t o w a r m / h o t w e a t h e r.

Wi n d c a n c a u s e f r u i t drop, and lack of moisture can also cause fruit drop. All of these factors have been present in New Mexico recently. This natural fruit thinning is usually beneficial, allowing larger fruit to form.

Such natural thinning usu all y does not cau se too many fruit to fall. You may still need to do some manual thinning if too many fruit remain. This should be done while the fruit are small.

As temperatures rise in the early summer and late spring, water loss by apple trees increases.

Even when trees are well watered, the increased water loss is enough to cause increased fruit drop, but in dry years this can be a greater

problem. Proper irrigation can help.

Proper irrigation means providing moisture to the soil outside the dripline of the tree to a depth appropriate for the type of tree and soil conditions. This means moistening the soil to a depth of 3 feet for apple trees if there is that depth of soil. This should be done two or three times a month during the growing season. Periodically irrigating more deeply, or directing roof runoff from rains to the tr ees, can help pr event accumulation of harmful mineral salts at the bottom of this zone of irrigated soil.

Irrigation outside the dripline, starting at the dripline and extending several feet outward is

important for providing water to the small absorbing roots. Inside the dripline of the tree, there are fewer absorbing roots, so irrigation inside the dripline is not necessary.

Wi n d c a n p h y s i c a l l y remove fruit by bashing them against the stems, or by increasing water loss. As in the case of increased water loss from temperature change, pr oper irrigation is the best method for reducing fruit drop.

More crews headed to northern Arizona wildfire OAK CREEK CANYON, Ariz. (AP) — A windwhipped wildfire in a canyon near Flagstaff dramatically increased in size Wednesday as it sent up choking plumes of smoke, threatened homes and scuttled Memorial Day weekend plans in the popular hiking and camping area.

Hundreds of firefighters poured into northern Arizona to battle the fire between Sedona and Flagstaff, and by Wednesday after noon, the fire grew to an estimated 7 square miles, or about 4,500 acres. The erratic and gusty winds briefly grounded air tankers that were brought in to fight the fire.

Authorities also warned about 3,200 residents in communities near Flagstaff that they should be ready to evacuate if the fire makes another advance.

Officials are fearful that the fire could be a prelude

for what could become a devastating wildfire season amid a drought that has left tinder-dry conditions across the state.

The blaze presented several challenges for firefighters, including steep terrain, thick pine forest, gusting winds and the drought conditions, said Bill Morse, a Flagstaff Fire Department captain and a spokesman for firefighting managers. The winds helped the fire race 2,000 feet up the canyon and to a plateau area.

The fire broke out at the start of the tourist season and closed the main road between Sedona and Flagstaff — two cities that attract visitors in summer months. The fire is burning near Slide Rock State Park, a popular recreation area because of its natural rock water slides.

Sophie Lwin, of Peoria, said she had relatives from the Los Angeles area coming in for a weekend at the Butterfly Garden

Inn, which had to evacuate because of the fire.

She said the area is her favorite destination, and she and her husband visit at least five times a year.

“It’s Memorial Day weekend. It’s going to be so hard and so expensive to get anything anywhere else,” she said.

About 500 firefighters and other personnel are already assigned to the fire, including 15 Hotshot crews.

But windy conditions forced firefighters to temporarily halt air resources such as retardant. They were flying again Wednesday evening.

Crews were focused on keeping the fire west of a highway near threatened homes. There were no reports so far of injuries or structures burned.

The cause of the fire wasn’t known, but authorities believe it was human-caused.

The fire forced the evacuations of 100 businesses

and homes in a 2-mile stretch north of the state park, and 15 people stayed at a shelter in Flagstaf f. About 3,200 people in the communities of Kachina Village and

Forest Highlands were told that they need to be ready to evacuate.

“As you can see, we are dealing with some pretty extraordinary circumstances with this fire. I

want to reiterate that you basically have received your pre-evacuation notice. This is your time to get ready,” said Robert Rowley, emergency manager for Coconino County.

Bus strikes pipes on remote interstate, killing 4 Pennsylvania won’t

BLYTHE, Calif. (AP) — A bus rolling through a remote stretch of desert struck a load of metal pipes scattered across a dark California highway Wednesday, then slid down an embankment and overturned in an accident that killed four passengers and seriously injured at least seven others.

Only a minute or two before the collision, the pipes had tumbled from a flatbed truck that jackknifed after drifting into the dirt median on Interstate 10, the main road linking Southern California and Arizona, the California Highway Patrol said.

It was the second serious crash in a month involving a truck and passenger bus in California. In April, a big rig smashed head-on into a charter bus carrying high school students on a university visit, killing 10 people.

Wednesday’s crash occurred around 2:15 a.m. just west of Blythe, near the Arizona border, where the eastbound truck’s spilled cargo obstructed both lanes in each direction. The truck carried dozens of pipes, some as long as 50 feet. As of late Wednesday afternoon, the interstate remained closed.

Emergency personnel respond to the scene of a fatal accident in Blythe, Calif. on Wednesday.

The bus was about three-quarters through its 800-mile trip from El Paso, Texas, to Los Angeles. Authorities believe there were 33 passengers aboard, but they were checking that against the trip manifest. Seven passengers were seriously hurt and taken to hospitals, and 14 others sought evaluation of minor injuries, according to CHP officer Jason Ger-

ard.

Neither driver was hurt.

As the driver of the truck, whose identity was not released, tried to pass slower vehicles in an area with a 70 mph speed limit, he drifted onto the dirt shoulder and lost control, CHP Lt. Cmdr. Gustavo Guzman said.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s governor ended his fight Wednesday to stop same-sex marriage in the state, allowing a growing number of couples to proceed with their wedding plans with greater peace of mind.

A day after a federal judge struck down the state’s same-sex marriage ban, Gov. Tom Corbett announced he would halt his court fight because “the case is extremely unlikely to succeed on appeal.”

The governor’s decision means that same-sex marriage will remain legal in Pennsylvania, without the threat that a higher court will reinstate the ban.

U.S. District Court Judge John Jones III struck down a 1996 state law banning recognition of gay marriage, calling it unconstitutional.

One widow, 11 couples and

one couple’s teenage daughters had sued. Their lawyers said another party has never been allowed to appeal in the state’s place.

Corbett’s decision goes against the Republican governor’s personal beliefs. He opposes same-sex marriage and supported thus-far unsuccessful ef forts to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage. In October, he took heat for comparing the marriage of same-sex couples to the marriage of a brother and sister.

Corbett, who is seeking re-election this year facing poor public approval ratings, has sought in recent months to move to the political center and away from staunchly conservative positions on several hot-button issues.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Big-voiced rocker Caleb Johnson is the season 13 “American Idol,” winning the title over teenage pop singer Jena Irene.

“This is crazy,” Johnson said after host R yan Seacrest announced the TV audience’s decision on Wednesday’s season finale of the Fox contest.

Johnson, 23, of Asheville, North Carolina, and Irene, 17, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, told each other “you da bomb” before the result was revealed.

Runner-up Irene is getting a consolation prize: The two competitors and friends are set to attend her high school prom, Seacrest said.

Seacrest did not announce the number of votes cast, as was routine when the show drew huge audiences and impressive vote tallies. “American Idol,” which long reigned as TV’s

Spurs rout Thunder for 2-0 lead Days to kickoff

Thursday, May 22, 2014

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tony Parker scored 22 points, Danny Green made seven 3-pointers and added 21, and the San Antonio Spurs used a dominant third quarter to decimate the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-77 on Wednesday night, rolling to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.

Tim Duncan added 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Manu Ginobili and Boris Diaw had 11 points apiece off the bench.

Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each had 15 points, but the third-quarter barrage made spectators of both — not that they accomplished much when they did play. The star duo combined to shoot 13 for 40, including 4 for 14 in the third quarter.

Game 3 is Sunday at Oklahoma City.

Playing without Serge Ibaka and given two days to adjust to dropping Game 1 by 17 points, the Thunder performed worse.

Parker and Green each had eight points in the third quarter as San Antonio outscored Oklahoma City 33-18 in the period.

It was a shocking turn for the Thunder, who started well.

Roswell Daily Record

Oklahoma City opened more aggressive on both ends, especially defensively. The physicality disrupted the Spurs early and frustrated them emotionally.

Duncan was issued a technical with about 5 minutes left in the first quarter after complaining when Ed Malloy ruled he threw a hip into Durant.

It turned out the Spurs veteran had little to worry about, as the Thunder finished just 4 for 9 on free throws.

The Thunder scored five straight to open the game, with Westbrook’s 3 capping the early run and producing what would become their largest lead of the series at 5-0.

Oklahoma City did not go under on pick-and-rolls as they did in Game 1, which allowed Parker more scoring opportunities. He took four shots in the opening five minutes. His first two baskets came on driving layups, including running right down the middle of the lane with Thabo Sefolosha trailing by a couple of steps.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nick Tepesch and Robbie Ross helped the Texas Rangers hold off the Seattle Mariners.

Tepesch, back from the minor leagues, earned his first major league victory in more than 10 months and the Rangers edged the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Wednesday.

Ross, back in the bullpen after an unsuccessful stint in the rotation, bailed Tepesch out of a seventhinning jam.

Neal Cotts, whose ERA has ballooned from 1.11 in 2013 to 4.34 this season, had a strong eighth.

Joakim Soria, back in a closer’s role this year for the first time since 2011, pitched a per fect ninth inning for his eighth save in eight opportunities.

The Rangers’ offense had three first-inning runs and Shin-Soo Choo’s leadof f home run in the bottom of the fifth that broke a 3-3 tie.

Choo’s fifth homer went into the bullpen in left-center.

Pacers’ George has concussion NBA

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s Paul George has a concussion, and it’s unclear when he will return to practice or whether he will play Saturday night against Miami.

The two-time All-Star was injured during a collision with Heat guard Dwyane Wade in the fourth quarter. Both players stayed down, then went to their benches briefly and returned after the timeout that had been called. After the game, George told reporters that he “blacked out” and had blurred vision — something coach Frank Vogel and the Pacers medical team said they were not told.

On Wednesday, based on George’s comments, Pacers doctors determined he did have a concussion. George must now go through the NBA’s mandated protocol before being cleared to play.

The NBA also said the Pacers’ doctors followed proper protocol Tuesday.

WNBA launches campaign to market league to LGBT community

NEW YORK (AP) — Amid a surge of public opinion in favor of gay rights in the U.S., the WNBA is launching a campaign to market the league to the LGBT community, becoming the first pro sports league to specifically recruit gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender fans to its games.

With the marketing campaign, the WNBA is capitalizing on what it has known for years: The community makes up a significant portion of its fan base.

The difference now is that the league is talking about it publicly and making it a deliberate part of its marketing strategy.

The launch of the effort coincides with

a surge of political and legal advances for the gay-rights movement in the U.S., and shifting public opinion behind many of those advances.

The campaign, which begins with the debut of a website Wednesday, includes having teams participate in local pride festivals and parades, working with advocacy groups to raise awareness of inclusion through grassroots events and advertising with lesbian media. A nationally televised pride game will take place between Tulsa and Chicago on Sunday, June 22. All 12 teams will also have some sort of pride initiative over the course of

the season.

“For us it’s a celebration of diversity and inclusion and recognition of an audience that has been with us very passionately,” WNBA President Laurel Richie said.

It’s taken the league 18 years to take the step, though it had discussions about the possibility previously. Teams have done some promotion locally, sponsoring booths at gay pride events and hosting groups at games.

“We embrace all our fans and it’s a group that we know has been very, very supportive. I won’t characterize it as ‘Why

did it take so long?’ For me it’s been we’ve been doing a lot of terrific initiatives. The piece that’s different this year is unifying it,” Richie said.

Before launching the campaign, the league took a close look at its fan base. It commissioned a study in 2012 that found that 25 percent of lesbians watch the league’s games on TV while 21 percent have attended a game.

McIlroy calls off engagement to Caroline Wozniacki

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — Only a few days after sending out wedding invitations, golfer Rory McIlroy broke off his engagement to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki on Wednesday.

Uncomfortable and subdued, the two-time major winner spoke about the decision ahead of the BMW PGA Championship, only a few hours after first announcing the split in a statement.

“It is quite a difficult time for Caroline and myself, and the statement really said it all this morning,” McIlroy said at Wentworth. “It was mutual and we both thought it was the best for us, the best for both of us. Time

Rout

to move on, and I’ve said all that I need to say.”

The 25-year -old McIlroy and 23-year-old Wozniacki have been dating since 2011. They were engaged on New Year’s Eve in Australia.

The decision to call off the wedding came as surprise to many, especially since McIlroy had only recently spoke of his delight in meeting up with Wozniacki in London after competing in the Players Championship a couple of weeks ago. Wozniacki had been due to compete in an event in Rome but withdrew to meet up with him.

“Look, I’m no different than

anyone else,” the Northern Irishman said. “Everyone has been through breakups, and it’s obviously very, very difficult. But look, I’m here to try and concentrate on this week and answer questions about golf, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Both McIlroy and Wozniacki have been the top-ranked player in their respective sports, but Wozniacki has not won a major title. McIlroy won his first major at the 2011 U.S. Open, and then added another a year later at the U.S. PGA Championship.

In the earlier statement, McIlroy took the blame for the breakup.

“The problem is mine. The wed-

San Antonio closed the first half on a 25-8 run.

Green hit consecutive 3s to extend the Spurs’ advantage to 55-44 with a minute left in the first half.

San Antonio later rebounded a missed layup by Ginobili and Parker’s errant 3pointer, leading to a higharcing 3 by Ginobili for a 58-44 lead. Ginobili then drew a charge on Westbrook’s 3 on the ensuing possession.

Durant and Westbrook opened the game 9 for 26 in the first half. Durant had one field goal in the final 16 minutes of the first half.

Durant made his first two field goals of the second half, but did not have another for the rest of the half.

Oklahoma City went scoreless for two minutes midway through the third AP Photo quarter as San Antonio built its lead to 76-50 on a San Antonio’s Tim Duncan (21) goes up for a shot over pair of free throws by Dun- Oklahoma City’s Thabo Sefolosha during Game 2 of the can with 6:20 remaining.

Begay set to return to work after heart attack

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Notah Begay will return to his broadcasting job next week, one month after suffering a heart attack.

Golf Channel said Wednesday that he will serve as an on-course reporter at the NCAA men’s golf championships, with the network’s coverage starting Monday.

The 41-year-old Begay suffered the heart attack April 24. Doctors at Methodist Hospital in Dallas diagnosed a 100 percent blockage of his right coronary artery. A stent was inserted to unblock the artery.

“About 60 days ago, I felt perfectly fine walking the fairways doing our other broadcasts,” he said on a conference call Wednesday, “and just out of left field had some heart complications and was very lucky to get quick medical attention and get fixed up.”

Begay is in his second full year as a TV analyst. He won twice on the PGA Tour, in 1999 and 2000.

“So long as I’ve got a golf cart there to get me from one point to the next, I’ll be OK,” he said.

A Navajo from New Mexico, Begay has a history of heart disease in his family. He hopes to expand his NB3 Foundation’s mission to address health and wellness issues among Native American youth.

ding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails,” McIlroy said. “I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting.”

At Wentworth, McIlroy is among the top players at this week’s European Tour flagship event.

“I’m not going to lie. It’s going to be very difficult,” McIlroy said of playing this week. “But you know, at least when I get inside the ropes, just try and concentrate on the shot at hand. But yeah, it’s obviously going to be difficult.”

“I’ve been a Manchester United fan my whole life, and getting to play with three Manchester United legends is going to be a nice afternoon,” McIlroy said. “I remember watching the Champions League final in ‘99 when United beat (Bayern) Munich in Barcelona, and it was a very memorable night. All those three guys were involved.”

Brittney Griner, who is one of a handful of WNBA athletes who have publicly identified themselves as lesbian, was happy the league was embracing the community. Griner, who was the No. 1 pick by the Phoenix Mercury in the draft in 2013, plans on wearing rainbow-colored shoes during the month of June in support of the initiative.

“We’ll pave the way and show its fine and there’s nothing wrong with it.

More sports need to do it. It’s 2014, it’s about time,” said Griner, who served as grand marshal of the Phoenix Pride parade last season.

The league’s campaign comes after a wave of recent announcements from players who are identifying themselves publicly as gay. NBA player Jason Collins became the first player in men’s professional basketball to come out and played with the Nets.

Oklahoma leads NCAA Women’s Golf Championship

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma freshman Alexandra Kaui holed a wedge from 118 yards for an eagle on the par-4 15th and finished with a 3-under 67 on Wednesday to take the lead in the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship and help the Sooners maintain a three-stroke advantage in the team standings.

Kaui, from Honolulu, had a 5-under 135 total at Tulsa Country Club for a threestroke lead over Michigan State’s Allyssa Ferrell and Stanford’s Lauren Kim. “The front nine was pretty slow. But once I dunked one from 118 yards, I said, ‘Oh my gosh,”’ Kaui said. “Suddenly I’m 2 under and wanted to finish really strong.”

She did that with a birdie on the 160yard 17th hole and a par on the par-4 18th.

Emily Collins added a 71 for Oklahoma, Anne Tanquay shot 74, 2012 champion Chirapat Jao-Javanil had a 75, and Kaitlyn Rohrback a 78. Only the top four scores count in the team total each day in the 72hole event.

The wind gusted to 26 mph from the south, a little calmer than the opening day.

“Even though it was still pretty windy, it felt like nothing to us compared to all the times we’ve practiced with winds gusting up to 40 mph, Kaui said. “I think it really helps prepare us.”

Ferrell holed a 75-foot birdie putt on her final hole for a 69, and Kim shot 71.

Big 12 champion Oklahoma had a 7over 287 total in the second round to reach 15-over 575.

Duke was second after a 5-under 285.

Celine Boutier led the Blue Devils with a 70, Celine Boutier shot 70, Sandy Choi 71, Laetitia Beck and Alejandro Cangrejo 72.

“We were very patient,” Duke coach Dan Brooks said. “I was proud of my team. They handled things really well. It was gustier today, so you had to do more thinking on your par-3 shots.”

Arizona State was third at 20 over, followed by defending champion Southern California, UCLA and Arizona at 24 over, and Pac-12 champion Stanford at 26 over.

Arizona State matched the Sooners with a 7-over 287. The Sun Devils, coached by former Tulsa All-American and coach Melissa Luellen, are seeking their first victory of the year.

“We’re playing well enough to win,” Luellen said. “But there are a lot of good teams here. We all know how good USC is.

But they don’t win every time. It’s going to be an interesting next 36 holes.”

Top-ranked Southern California had an 11-over 291.

“I’m sure they are plenty disappointed in the way they have played,” Trojans coach Andrea Gaston said. “Obviously, I think we should be expecting more with all of our players. We probably are feeling a little more pressure because we are defending champions and they know how well they played last year. But you can’t really think about last year, you have to live in the moment. Sometimes a round like today may be just what they need to step it up tomorrow.”

Ferrell helped Michigan State shoot the day’s low team round, a 3-over 283 that moved the Spartans from a tie for 16th to a tie for ninth at 28 over.

NFL headed for expanded playoffs in 2015 Roswell Daily Record

BARRY WILNER AP PRO FOOTBALL WRITER

Giants owner John Mara broke into a wry smile when pressed on his opposition to expanding the NFL playoffs by two teams.

“Teams can go from 9-7 to the Super Bowl, as we’ve seen,” said Mara, knowing full well his team did just that to win the 2011 title.

“Can they do it from 7-9 or 8-8? I don’t know. You tell me.”

They might get the chance to try, because it is clear that the league is going to increase the number of playoff qualifiers to 14, almost certainly for the 2015 season.

Sure, the extra two spots could wind up going to teams like last season’s Arizona Cardinals, who missed out at 10-6. But they also could fall into the laps of a .500 squad — Pittsburgh would have gotten the extra berth in the AFC if it existed in 2013. Or worse, a repeat of what Seattle achieved in

2010, albeit as a division winner, with a 7-9 record.

Commissioner Roger Goodell supports two more wild-card teams. So do most owners, although the league is proceeding cautiously by delaying until October an actual vote.

The TV partners will love the idea of more playoff games, and the prospect of playing both of the additional wild cards in prime time is a juicy one. Indeed, those games could wind up being on a broadcast outlet not yet affiliated with the NFL, such as Turner.

Given the records the NFL has been setting on television lately, from the regular season to the postseason to the draft, there’s no reason to believe it won’t receive the same $100 million for each additional playof f game ESPN is paying to get in on the party next January.

“I do believe it will be approved for the 2015 season,” Goodell said. “We want to see how it will

impact in a positive way from a competitive standpoint. Will it create more excitement, more races toward the end of the season? Who will ultimately qualify for the playoffs?”

The new setup won’t put much more strain, if any, on the postseason schedule. It also would make having the best record in the conference even more valuable: Only that team will get a first-round bye.

Right there, Goodell’s league could have plenty “more excitement” down the stretch.

With three wild-card games, the NFL could fill up the first weekend in January from early afternoon until midnight. Or, as Mara mentioned, one of the games figures to land on Monday night.

Goodell said the NFL wants to see how its concentration of games on Thursday night works out this year before proceeding with more playoff teams. That’s

Smith pleads no contest SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith pleaded no contest Wednesday to three felony weapons charges and two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.

The 24-year-old Smith entered his pleas in a Santa Clara County Superior Courtroom in San Jose. He faces a sentence ranging from spending no time in custody to a maximum of four years and four months behind bars at a judge’s discretion, prosecutors said.

Smith is scheduled to be sentenced on July 25 — two days after the 49ers are to open training camp in Santa Clara.

“Mr. Smith has now accepted responsibility and has pleaded to all of the charges,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said.

“We are aware that Aldon entered a plea today in a case that we have closely monitored,” 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke said in a statement Wednesday. “Today was an important step towards bringing that situation to a resolution.”

In November, Smith pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon after deputies said they found three assault rifles while responding to a complaint about a party in June 2012 at Smith’s home. During the party, Smith fired a handgun in the air and was stabbed as two other people were

more (getting) on base,” he said.

“Got a home run that got up in that gust a little bit, that’s it,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “It’s a tough ballpark to pitch in, but I thought (Chris Young) did a pretty darn good job for us.

Texas turned two double plays. The second was on Ross’ second pitch after entering the game with one out and runners on first and second for the Mariners. Pinch hitter Stefen Romero grounded to Adrian Beltre, who stepped on third base and threw to first to complete the inningending double play.

“I was thinking, ‘Gosh, here we go! I’m in a situation where I like to be.’ I was pretty amped,” Ross said. “I wanted to be out of that inning without those runs scoring.”

Tepesch (1-0) allowed five hits and two walks in 6 1⁄3 innings for his first win since defeating Houston 105 on July 5, 2013. The second-year pitcher threw a career-high 112 pitches.

understandable, but the main reason for delaying the inevitable is that the players’ union has to sign off on the expansion.

Considering the added revenue that would accompany two more wild-card games, would the NFLPA really balk? Goodell said he spoke with union boss DeMaurice Smith two weeks ago and didn’t get any pushback.

“This is something I’ve had numerous conversations with DeMaurice about,” Goodell said.

“I think there are a lot of benefits to the players, but that’s something they’ll have to evaluate.

They are our partners, and I’ve said on many occasions before that we are going to have a dialogue with all of our partners to make sure it can be done the right way.”

Goodell also noted that the players would receive 55 percent of the revenue generated by two more postseason games.

shot during a melee, authorities said.

While the three rifles were legally bought in Arizona, Santa Clara County prosecutors say the weapons are illegal in California.

The DUI charges were filed after Smith’s car smashed into a tree in San Jose in September as police said his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

A fearsome pass-rusher, Smith took a five-game leave of absence from the 49ers to undergo treatment for substance abuse last season. He finished the 2013 regular season with 8 1 ⁄ 2 sacks and 34 tackles in 11 games with eight starts after having a franchise-record 19 1 ⁄ 2 sacks in 2012.

In January, Smith said during an interview with The Associated Press he was encouraged by the strides he had made to better himself off the football field that put life — and his work — in perspective.

But last month Smith was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport after authorities said he became belligerent during a security screening and threatened that he had a bomb.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office said Smith wouldn’t be charged with a felony, but city attorneys who handle misdemeanors are still investigating. Smith has not commented on the incident.

dollars also might eliminate their currently dormant proposal for an 18-game regular season, something the union says won’t ever happen.

Meanwhile, Mara, a trusted adviser to Goodell and one of the league’s most influential owners, appears to be leading a losing battle for the status quo.

“I just like it the way it is right now,” he said of the playoff structure that has existed since 1990.

“I think we’re diluting it too much. It also creates other issues. You’re going to play one of those games on a Monday night, and the prospect of doing that in January is not all that appealing.

“We had a great opening wildcard weekend this year and it seems like we have that every year, and I’m not sure what this is going to bring.”

It will bring more money to the owners and players, more football for the fans, more eyeballs for the networks.

It was his second start this season for the Rangers after being recalled from T riple-A Round Rock, where he was 6-1.

Texas manager Ron Washington has noticed a difference.

“He has an out pitch right now. He’s got that slider working, and he’s able to locate his sinker.

With that going on and commanding the baseball, I think there’s the difference right there.”

Washington visited Tepesch on the mound with one out in the seventh and Dustin Ackley coming up.

Tepesch assured the manager he was OK. Then he walked both Ackley and John Buck.

“I just wanted to know how he was feeling,” Washington said. “Did he think he had enough to get this lefty up there? Because I had a lefty ready. The look in his eyes, he convinced me, and I had to end up getting Robbie to bail me out.”

After that, it was Cotts striking out Robinson Cano, who had homered earlier, and Seager, who entered the game with a .358 average in Arlington, with a runner on second

base in the eighth.

Against former Rangers right-hander Chris Young (3-2), Daniel Robertson led off the first with a walk and scored on Elvis Andrus’ homer. Alex Rios singled home the third run.

Seattle tied it in the fourth. James Jones tripled and scored on Michael Saunders’ single.

Cano then hit his tworun homer. Center fielder Michael Choice ran back to attempt a catch, but his glove hit the wall as the ball barely cleared it.

Seattle had only one baserunner against Tepesch in the first three innings: Seager on a leadoff single in the second. He was erased in an unusual 4-5-3 double play. With Texas’ defense shifted to the right, Smoak grounded to second baseman Luis Sardinas, who threw to Beltre covering second. Beltre’s relay throw to first beat Smoak.

Young gave up seven hits and three walks in 6 1 ⁄ 3 innings.

“You have those games where if you can limit the damage early, you feel like you’ll pitch a good game, and I gave up one too many in the first,” Young said.

Shirley was the youngest of sixteen children, and as the baby she grew up with most of her 49 nieces and nephews which were some of her best friends and shopping buddies. If you ever went on a shopping adventure with her and some of her nieces you better get you some band aids while you were there cause you were gonna need them the next day for all the blisters.

Needless to say she was a very special lady to us all and will be missed dearly.

Shirley is survived by her three sons. Bryan Calkins and wife Jinny Calkins, R yan Calkins, Jeremy Calkins and wife Krystal Calkins, all of Roswell. She also has four precious grandbabies, Luke Riley (7), Breanna Nicole (5), Amythest Summer (1) and Tanner James (8 months).

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: Our niece “Bonnie” has severe attachment problems.

She still lives in her parents’ home and is well into her 50s.

Her father passed away several years ago, and her mother seems to be her only friend.

Bonnie has never had a serious relationship and has spent her life at one job and with her parents. Vacations and holidays have been spent with them only. Bonnie rarely accepts an invitation unless her mom is invited, does not communicate unless we reach

out to her first and is very private about the smallest details in her life.

Her mother is aging and we are wondering how Bonnie will manage once her mom is gone.

How do we approach someone who seriously needs help and guidance?

CARING AUNT IN PITTSBURGH

DEAR CARING AUNT: I can think of two ways. The first would be to discuss this privately with Bonnie’s mother and ask if there is anything she would like you to do for her daughter in the event of a serious illness or her death. It is a legitimate question if Bonnie is unable to live independently, and her mother might appreciate that you cared enough to ask.

The second would be to reach out to Bonnie in the event that something does happen to her mother, and let her know that you love her and will

be there for her if she needs you. Keep in mind that you cannot force help on anyone who is unwilling to accept it. #####

DEAR ABBY: I’m 11 and in the sixth grade. I am very self-conscious.

Every girl in my grade has a bigger chest than me, and I am feeling insecure because mine isn’t developed.

I know I am young, but I want to fit in. Every day I feel horrible about myself. Can you help?

INSECURE 6TH GRADER DEAR INSECURE: I’ll try. No two people are alike, and our bodies do not develop at the same time. For some girls, it happens sooner and they begin to develop breasts as early as age 9. For others, it doesn’t happen until they are in their teens.

Your value should not be measured by your chest size.

Believe me, the size of your IQ is far more important. The kind of person you are is more important.

Big chests have a way of falling sooner or later. So work on your grades and your personality right now. If you do, in time you’ll not only catch up to these girls, you will surpass them in the qualities that matter most. You’re fine just the way you are. #####

Family Circus

DEAR ABBY: When spending thousands of dollars to attend a destination wedding, are you expected to give a gift to the bride and groom?

JENNIFER IN NEW YORK DEAR JENNIFER: Yes, but after shelling out “thousands” to attend a wedding, it does not have to be an expensive one. A token gift to mark the occasion would be enough.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: I read your column every morning in the Kerrville (Texas) Daily T imes. Help! I’m in the doghouse! I set a glass on my wife’s nice furniture, and it LEFT A RING. How do I get it off?

Jack M. in Texas

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Don’t move into the doghouse just yet, Jack! Here is the updated Heloise Hint for removing rings on furniture: Start by getting nongel toothpaste. Mix a small amount of the toothpaste with some baking soda. Rub this mixture into the ring, making sure you rub in the direction of the grain of the furniture. Be prepared, because this takes time and patience to work. Once the ring appears to have gone, take a damp cloth and wipe the furniture. Finish with a good polishing.

For Better or For Worse

#####

Dear Heloise: I use an old T-shirt to make a bird-cage cover to keep the seed hulls from being thrown out of the cage. Measure the height that you want to cover on your bird cage. On a flat surface, lay the shirt out flat, with the hems even. Measure the shirt from the bottom up and mark. Cut straight across the body of the shirt, through both layers. The bottom of the shirt will be the top of the cover. You can either thread a string through or just gather the material and tie. It is very easy to put on, adjust and tie.

A Reader, via email

Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Ventura County (Calif.) Star. I have been moving, so I am up to my earlobes in packing materials and tape. This morning, I got goo from the tape on my freshly manicured nails. I looked for the product that normally removes this sort of thing, but couldn’t find it in my garage.

Then I read your answer to the mom who wanted to get gum out of her child’s hair. Among other things, you suggested she use real mayonnaise. I figured, what the heck, why not try it? It worked beautifully. The goo came off my nails, didn’t hurt the polish, and I didn’t have to use chemicals.

Ilene B., via email

Dear Heloise: Our new house cleaner pushed our vacuum cleaner very rapidly over the carpeting and picked up less than half of the dirt and dust that I normally do with slow pushing. With fast pushing, the vacuum spends less time trying to suck up the dirt, so it picks up less. I highly recommend slow vacuuming in order to pick up the most dirt for cleaner carpets.

J.D. in Houston

Dear Heloise: I often watch my grandchildren. I don’t keep any bibs at my house, so whenever we eat, I just wrap old dish towels around their necks (not tightly!) and tie them in the back. Keeps their clothes clean and their mom happy!
