ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Wildfires cast a pall over Memorial Day weekend in parts of the West Friday as smoke from a massive New Mexico blaze prompted widespread air -quality war nings, and high fire danger in Colorado spurred officials to put thousands of firefighters on standby.

The privately owned ghost town of Mogollon was placed under a voluntary evacuation order as fire-

fighters worked to tame the wildfire in the southwester n New Mexico woods, which has grown to 85,000 acres or more than 130 square miles.

Two lightning-sparked fires merged Wednesday to form the giant Gila Wilderness blaze, which has destroyed 12 cabins and seven small outbuildings.

The Baldy fire was first spotted May 9 and the Whitewater blaze was

sparked May 16, but nearly all of the growth has come in recent days due to relentless winds.

More than 500 firefighters were battling the blaze.

The strong winds pushed ash from the blaze 35 to 40 miles away, while smoke from the giant fire spread across the state and into Arizona. The haze blocked views of the Sandia MounSee FIRE, Page A3

Memorial Day weekend carries a lot of traditions with it.

Obviously it is a time to celebrate those men and women of the armed forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

In addition to remembering those heroes, the weekend has become synonymous with cookouts and the unofficial beginning to the summer.

All of the above things occur in Roswell, but the Alien City offers something unique, the Hike It & Spike It Charity Flag Football Tournament.

Dragon docks with ISS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The private company SpaceX made history Friday with the docking of its Dragon capsule to the International Space Station, the most impressive feat yet in turning routine spaceflight over to the commercial sector.

It marked the first time a business enterprise delivered a supply ship to the space station.

“There’s so much that could have gone wrong and it went right,” said an elated Elon Musk, the young, driven billionaire behind SpaceX. “This really is, I think, going to be recognized as a significantly historical step forward in space travel — and hopefully the first of many to come.”

SpaceX still has to get its Dragon back next week with a load of science gear; the retro bell-shaped capsule is designed to splash down into the ocean, in the style of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. But Friday was the crucial step, Musk noted, and NASA agreed the next SpaceX mission could come as early as September.

David Parham, USN

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, a day to honor those who gave their lives for their country.

David Parham, 85, is the veteran of not one, but two wars — World War II and Korea.

He has many things he remembers and some things that he would prefer to forget. “I must have suppressed some of it because I didn’t remember until I had a heart attack and my daughter started to ask about the war,” he said.

He grew up during the Great Depression and lived

through the Oklahoma Dust Bowl. A native of Texas, Parham’s father was a ginner (cotton gin) and an elder in the Church of Christ. Parham recollects traveling throughout Texas in a Model-T truck his father had adapted with plywood on the runners and a mast set up for a tent — a sort of precursor to the recreational vehicle — in which the family lived as they followed the harvest. Even as a child he worked. “I’d pick cotton from mor ning till night, until my hands bled. We had gloves, but they were made of cotton and they didn’t last long.”

One of the families he worked for was a former slave who inherited land from his one-time master.

“His wife would feed us pork, vegetables fresh from the garden and homemade bread. She laid out a real good spread.”

He referred to the Dust Bowl as terrifying when the dirt reached high as the clouds. “I remember one time a stor m blew in we found an abandoned farm

house. We had nothing to eat, but we found a Rhode Island Red rooster. We ate fried chicken that night. A homeless guy, a hobo, came into the house and we fed him. That’s the way things were back then.”

Parham volunteered for the Navy when he was 18.

He served in the Pacific Theater as a petty officer See SPOTLIGHT, Page A3

Mexico prez front-runner promises to cut violence MEXICO CITY (AP) — Shortly after sunrise last month in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, police found 14 butchered bodies in a van outside city hall, a salvo in a seesawing battle of horrors between Mexico’s two most powerful drug cartels.

Soon after, nine people were hanged from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo. Body parts were left in coolers outside city hall. Eighteen mutilated bodies were dumped by a scenic lake in western Mexico.

The bodies of 49 people were dumped outside a small town 75 miles from the U.S. border.

The man who appears likely to become Mexico’s next president says he can ease the waves of violence consuming the country by changing the focus of its six-year offensive against organized crime.

Mexico’s current administration has targeted the top ranks of the country’s drug cartels, deploying thousands of troops to capture crime kingpins and seize their drugs and weapons, often in close coordination with the U.S. It is not uncommon for President Felipe Calderon’s administration to boast of its success in arresting many of the country’s mostwanted men.

Enrique Pena Nieto, who has a double-digit lead five weeks before the July 1 election, says his top security priority will not be arresting the leaders of the organizations that move hundreds of millions of dollars of nar-

cotics each year into the United States. Instead, he and his advisers say, they will focus the government’s resources on reducing homicide, kidnapping and extortion — the crimes that do the most damage to the greatest number of Mexicans — by flooding police and troops into towns and cities with the highest rates of violent crime.

“This doesn’t mean that we don’t pay attention to other crimes, or that we don’t fight drug trafficking, but the central theme at this time is diminishing violence in the country,” Pena Nieto told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

Pena Nieto’s campaign said drug cartels could still be attacked, particularly if they carry out murders, kidnappings and extortion, but arresting their leaders will no longer be the focus of government efforts.

Some observers say that a strategy to reduce violence above all else could mean that drug dealers who conduct their businesses discreetly will be quietly left alone.

Pena Nieto’s Institutional Revolutionary Party, known by its Spanish initials as the PRI, ruled Mexico for 70 years until it lost the presidency in 2000, and highranking party figures and their relatives were often accused of striking deals with cartels in exchange for political protection.

Cahoon Park pool to open June 2 NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

Ready for a swim, Roswell?

The Cahoon Park swimming pool is expected to open June 2.

The city of Roswell recently contracted management of the pool to the Texas branch of USA Pools Inc., which is in the process of hiring and training staf f for the pool.

Roswell Parks and Recreation director Kim Elliot said that in addition to pool maintenance, USA Pools will provide additional services, such as swimming lessons and special events.

“This is a new experience for us, so we’re looking forward to it,” Elliot said. “And I know USA Pools is also looking forward to it. It’s something that will be very, very positive for the community. ...

“When we managed the pool in the past, we hadn’t been able to draw the programming aspect out like we would have liked to. I think USA Pools will really do a lot with that. ... We’ve already met with them on site to see what else we need to do to help make the pool ready for them. And they feel very positive about being able to manage the pool.”

The Cahoon Park swimming pool has been operational since the mid-1930s, and while it has seen many upgrades over the years, Elliot said

the pool will likely need to be closed at some point in the future. He said the city has plans for a brand new facility whenever that time comes.

“It is definitely an old pool, but I think we’ve done very well in being able to keep it open,” he said. “We have gone through and tried to find most of the water leakage and cracks, and I think we’ve taken care of most of that. We’re still losing some water, throughout the season. ... So most of our upgrades are also looking to the future, to create another venue for the community to have some recreational activities.”

When the pool was new, it needed to be drained and refilled regularly, and as a result was only available to the public four days out of the week, Elliot said.

Upgrades over the course of its long history have included the installation of filter systems, additional lighting, the construction of a bathhouse and new decking.

Elliot said the pool may not have all of the features that newer aquatic facilities have, but says it continues to provide the community with a more than serviceable outdoor recreation site.

“With newer aquatic facilities you’ll have other amenities, but we do very well over here with what we have.”

NM confirms first death from hantavirus this year

SANTA FE (AP) — State health officials say a 20year -old woman from Rio Arriba County has died from the hantavirus.

The New Mexico Department of Health said Friday this is the first case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome reported in the state this year.

Hantavirus develops from breathing in particles transmitted by rodent droppings, urine or saliva.

Early symptoms of hantavirus can include fever

part because cartels maintained uncontested control of smuggling routes in many parts of the country.

Opponents have been quick to say that Pena Nieto will go back to the old PRI model of cutting a deal with cartels.

“They’ve shown themselves to be absolutely tolerant of organized crime,” Josefina Vazquez Mota told Spanish newspaper El Pais in a recent interview.

Vazquez Mota is running on the presidential ticket for the National Action Party.

With Mexicans expressing strong support in polls for a militarized confrontation with crime, Pena Nieto is promising continuity in key aspects of Mexico’s U.S.-backed drug war.

He has rejected legalization, called for more cooperation with Washington and praised Calderon’s decision to confront the cartels shortly after taking office. On the campaign trail, Pena Nieto has been emphasizing his plans to maintain or increase the military presence in violencetorn cities like Monterrey and Veracruz. He has pledged an increase in the number of federal police officers from 36,000 to 50,000, and is also proposing a new semi-military police force composed of former soldiers and marines under civilian command that would be deployed to the towns and cities suffering from the highest violence and weakest

There is no specific treatment for hantavirus but chances for recovery are better with early medical attention.

Health officials say people should avoid contact with mice and other rodents.

policing.

But those pledges imply a subtle but potentially important change.

Pena Nieto’s new approach “would not stop fighting the drug cartels but it would shift from targeting the heads of the cartels,” campaign spokesman Diego Gomez said. “What Calderon has been doing is just targeting a few main cartels and splitting them up and what you have is chaos.”

All three major Mexican presidential candidates have been criticized for vagueness of their proposals on conducting the war against crime, and many observers have remarked upon the absence of debate about the direction of the country’s security policy.

Vazquez Mota has been vocally supportive of her party’s current policy, pledging to expand the federal police to 150,000, a roughly four -fold increase over current numbers. Fellow backers of the current U.S. Mexican strategy argue that the attack on cartels is showing results, with crime groups weakened by Calderon’s six-year offensive, and preliminary and unofficial statistics showing signs of violent crimes beginning to wane in some parts of the country.

Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has placed more emphasis on withdrawing back the military from the streets, fighting corruption among government offi-

cials and reducing crime by reducing social inequality.

A change in approach would align Pena Nieto with a new strain of thinking in public-policy circles in Mexico and the United States that calls for making violence the overwhelming focus of law-enforcement activity in the drug war, deemphasizing narcotics traf ficking and other crimes.

“I and other people have been advocating for a strategy that focuses on reduction in violence,” said Eric Olson, who oversees studies of U.S.-Mexico security cooperation and research on organized crime and drug trafficking at the Mexico Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.

Olson acknowledged that the focus on violence could mean relenting in operations against cartels that use less violence than their rivals, but he called that a necessary and temporary letup in order to get a handle on Mexico’s biggest problem, the violence that is terrorizing the population and undermining the legitimacy of the state.

“Crime will always exist. The question is can you make it less harmful and get it out of people’s lives as much as possible,” he said. “It’s not a de facto negotiation with them. It’s a question of what comes first.”

PFC Auction cancels Reagan blood sale LONDON (AP) — A European auction house Thursday canceled the planned online sale of a vial containing dried blood residue said to be from Ronald Reagan after complaints from the late U.S. president’s family and foundation.

The PFC Auction house said in a statement that the seller had withdrawn the item, which was linked to the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan, and plans instead to donate it to the for mer president’s foundation.

The statement said the seller, who has remained anonymous, had obtained the vial at a U.S. auction earlier this year.

The decision not to sell the controversial item was praised by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation in Califor nia, which had earlier announced plans to try to stop the sale through legal means.

“We are very pleased with this outcome and wish to thank the con-

signor and PFC Auctions for their assistance in this matter,” said John Heubusch, executive director of the foundation.

He added that he was pleased the late president’s blood will be kept “out of public hands.”

The item being donated is a five-inch glass vial that is one half-inch in diameter and has a green rubber stopper. The auction house said it clearly contains traces of dried blood. It is said to have been taken from a laboratory that tested Reagan’s blood for lead in the days after he was seriously wounded by a would-be assassin.

“While we contend that the removal of the vial from the hospital laboratory, and the U.S. auction sale in February 2012, were not legal acts in our opinion, we are grateful to the current custodian of the vial for this generous donation to the Foundation,” Heubusch said.

geon had earlier this week criticized the proposed sale. They said it was a violation of the family’s privacy for medical items linked to his treatment to be sold on the open market.

Online bidding on the item had reached more than $30,000 when the sale was suspended. It had been set to conclude Thursday evening.

In its statement, the auction house, which is based in the Channel Islands between England and France, revealed new details about the aborted sale.

It said the seller had purchased the item at a public auction in the United States earlier this year for $3,550. It quoted the seller as saying he was a serious collector of presidential memorabilia who had donated to museums in the past.

“I would personally be delighted to see this important artifact put on public display by the Foundation,” the seller

said.

Reagan required emergency surgery after he was shot by John Hinckley Jr. outside the Washington Hilton Hotel shortly after speaking to labor union officials on March 30, 1981. Hinckley fired six shots at the president from close range. All six missed, but one bullet ricocheted and hit Reagan.

The president was wounded just two months after taking office. He suffered a punctured lung and severe internal bleeding that required life-saving surgery.

His popular press secretary, James Brady, was left paralyzed after being shot. Two people protecting Reagan also were wounded.

Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He remains in a psychiatric facility in the Washington area but has been allowed to spend some time outside the facility with his family.

Farm traced to listeria outbreak files bankruptcy DENVER (AP) — A Colorado far m that was traced to a listeria outbreak in cantaloupe last year has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Jensen Farms declined to comment on its filing Friday. Its attorney Jim Markus told The Denver Post the filing should free up millions of dol-

lars in insurance and other funds that could be distributed to victims.

The outbreak was blamed for 32 deaths. It infected 146 people in 28 states. Federal investigators have said old, hardto-clean equipment at Jensen Farms and pools of dirty water on the floor probably were to blame.

Health of ficials as far away as Albuquerque and Santa Fe issued alerts for the holiday weekend, advising people to limit outdoor activities, keep windows closed and avoid swamp coolers.

They said the effects on most people would be minor but noted mild throat and eye irritation or allergy-like symptoms could be expected. Officials warned people with heart and lung conditions to be especially diligent in minimizing their exposure to the smoky air.

Meanwhile, in Colorado, of ficials said heavy air tankers and thousands of firefighters were on standby Friday as fire managers kept a close watch on high winds and hot temperatures at the start of Memorial Day weekend.

On Friday, the fire forced about 50 people to evacuate an RV park in San Diego County. It earlier prompted the evacuation of about 100 homes in the Shelter Valley area, but residents were allowed to return late Thursday.

The fire was 20 percent contained, said Nick Schuler, battalion chief for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. No injuries or damage to structures were reported.

In Arizona, residents of the historic mining town of Crown King were allowed to retur n home after being evacuated because of a wildfire about 85 miles north of Phoenix. The fire started May 13 and has burned more than 16,000 acres. It is 35 percent contained, fire officials said.

In Nevada, questions were being raised over fire crews’ initial response to a backyard burn that rekindled two days later, destroying two homes in a rural community and scorching 7,500 acres.

A 911 recording obtained

by The Associated Press showed a resident called Sunday to report that a neighbor’s permitted burn in the Topaz Ranch Estates was out of control. Volunteer firefighters with the East Fork Fire Protection District arrived at the scene and then left, apparently without extinguishing the blaze.

Gusty winds rekindled the fire Tuesday, and it spread quickly through thick brush and dry grasses. Two homes and 17 outbuildings were destroyed.

One of his first frightening experiences occurred when he got a chance to explore the island. He reached a place called Bloody-nose Ridge. He came upon a gunnery nest where he found two dead Japanese soldiers, still wearing their dog tags.

When he looked closer he realized the corpses and the tags had been rigged with a fine filament that led to a land mine. “If I had gone up to get the dog tags, I would have been killed.”

Parham said the island was riddled with tunnels, a fact that nearly cost him his life as he and two friends walked down the beach. He felt a sting on the back of his head that he thought was a wasp. He felt two more. “They were bullets. They had just grazed me.” The hair still won’t grow there because of the scar tissue.

He learned to operate the search lights which helped guide pilots back to their aircraft carriers and spotlighted the enemy. He recalls watching helplessly during a squall as two pilots attempted to beat the storm. One pilot ejected; the other went down with his plane. The ship could not reach them. “He hung suspended in the sky and then drifted down to the water.”

Parham and his crew survived the Okinawa Hurricane of Okinawa. Three of their escort ships did not.

“A complement of 2,000 men are now lying at the bottom of the sea.”

When the war ended, he was sent to China. “As we entered the Yangtze River, we heard a roaring sound.

We went up to the deck and saw the peasants rising out of their rice paddies. They were standing there with little American flags in their hands, cheering their

A3

American liberators.” He shakes his head. “It’s amazing. I can still see that clear as day.”

Parham remained in China as communism took hold. He credits a rickshaw driver with saving his life.

“There was a warehouse of people. Old Mao was speaking, inciting them to riot. We got out of the rickshaw, but the driver understood what was being said.

He said, ‘no, no, no.’ The people came pouring out of the building and he ran, outrunning the mob. We showered him with money for saving our lives.”

He also has experienced military snafus. “We were getting discharged, but the military lost my paperwork.

The captain is supposed to be the last man of f the ship, but I was the last and I put her out of commission.”

Korea holds fewer painful memories. Parham was stationed on a flag ship, USS Estes. “We were at the beck and call of Admiral Joy and the 600 people who travel with them. I saw him once.“ He related a tale where the crew were called to general quarters. “We had 600 people milling about and we couldn’t get to our stations. ... The gunner got to his just in time to get off one round.” Parham laughs. “You know what all the excitement was about?

It was Putt-putt Charlie. He had a little Cessna singleengine plane. He couldn’t do any damage. He did it to harass us.”

When Parham finally made his way home, he found a job in sales and married his “sweetheart.”

The two of them had three children. Parham went to college in Coffeyville, Kan. He didn’t like civilian life, so he joined the reserves where he trained others in desalination techniques, which had been one of his duties during the war. He continued in sales, selling cars in Texas and later in New Mexico.

Sometime after Parham and his first wife split up, he met his second wife Mary Jo. She had two children and Parham had custody of his three children.

“She was an angel. I could not have asked for a better wife. Everybody loved her.

We had a combined family and couldn’t have gotten along better.”

He now celebrates his life and cherishes his late wife’s memory with his 15 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

OPINION

Visiting with elected officials is not lobbying

In defense of lobbyists, almost all of them anyway, I respond to a story at NMpolitics.net about the Republican candidates in the new state Senate District 7, which includes Clovis on the south and all of Union County to the north.

One candidate, Angie Spears, is backed by Gov. Susana Martinez.

The other, Pat Woods, has given money to — gasp — Democrats and has made some bumbling comments linking the money and “lobbying.” Woods has his own endorsements, including that of former longtime state Rep. Hoyt Pattison.

In the story, Heath Haussamen of NMpolitics.net says, “Pat Woods’ statements about campaign contributions and lobbying raise ethical questions about his prior activities in Santa Fe.” While I regard Haussamen as one of the top three political writers in New Mexico, I disagree with him on this one.

There is being a registered lob-

byist and there is lobbying.

My view — I haven’t talked to Woods — is that with sloppy language (the linking of “lobbying” and donations), Woods snared himself in the slash and burn of politics, the unrelenting and impossible media-driven quest for political financial purity and lack of appreciation of rural communities, where everyone knows everyone and everyone does business with everyone, party affiliation notwithstanding.

Woods was a registered lobbyist for a while in connection with being a board member of Farmer’s Electric Cooperative of

Roswell Daily Record

New Mexico. My guess is that Woods was as much a real lobbyist as the many people listed today as registered lobbyists for the New Mexico Association of Educational Retirees and AARP. What happens, I believe, is that for self-protection, better -safethan-sorry reasons, some organizations register people as lobbyists who will visit with legislators in Santa Fe or in home communities. “Visiting,” a rural concept, is not lobbying.

The 155-page index of lobbyis found at i s ts www.sos.state.nm.us/sos-lobbyist.html. Scroll to the bottom of the page to access the list. Scan the list and you will find that large numbers of “lobbyists” represent one organization. Most organizations have only one lobbyist.

Every sort of organization — business, nonprofit and government — has a lobbyist registered.

The Baptist Convention of New

Mexico has a lobbyist with John Loudat. Media groups, those political purists, have lobbyists.

Lobbyists — the real lobbyists — are necessary. They serve as trusted surrogate staff, yes, selfinterested staff, for legislators.

Our citizen legislators have some staff support, but not much. Legislators need all the help they can get. Trust is the basis of the help.

Building trust is how lobbyists stay in business. Most lobbyists are from Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Some are from outside the state.

Number of clients is one way to rank lobbyists. Having more than 10 clients means a lobbyist has built trust over the years. Clients return and recommend the lobbyist to others. Break the trust, and word will get around. Goodbye business.

My quick scan through the lobbyist list found at least 18 with more than 10 clients. I may have missed one or two.

Scott Scanland of Santa Fe leads with 26 clients. Tom Horan is second with 19 clients, including the very establishment New Mexico Press Association, Forest City Covington New Mexico and Virgin Galactic. Horan shares the work with his son, Lawrence, who has 11 clients.

Three lobbyists have 17 clients.

They are Linda Siegle, with a client group tending to health care nonprofits, and Nancy King and Brent Moore, both of the Montgomery & Andrews law firm of Santa Fe. Over the years, I have gained some acquaintance with a number of these senior lobbyists.

They are upstanding, professional and very conscious of their role in the process.

EDITORIAL

World Opinion NATO support for Afghanistan

In agreeing to provide substantial, ongoing help to Afghanistan after the last NATO-led for ces, including our own, leave at the end of 2014, Julia Gillard is on the right track.

Her pledge of $300 million to the $4.1 billion fund U.S. President Barack Obama is creating for the Afghan National Army after the allies withdraw is among the largest from any of the countries fighting in Afghanistan.

It also provides a timely signal that, though we ar e on our way out of the country, we remain committed to doing whatever we can to ensure it never again becomes a haven for terrorism. The sacrifice of the 33 Australians k illed in Afghanistan, as well as the 200 who have been wounded, demands no less.

That said, there is a need for caution and realism about what lies ahead.

For all the hope surrounding the 2014 deadline and the ability of Afghans to fight their own war, the prospects remain challenging. They would be transformed if peace talks with the Taliban were able to make progress. But hopes for them are bedevilled by the situation in Pakistan, whose government continues to allow the insurgents a virtual free rein and seeks to exploit for its own ends the vital supply routes from the port of Karachi needed to service NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Much has been achieved in Afghanistan. But much remains to be done. And the need to do whatever is needed to ensure the country does not again become a base for international terrorism will be as vital to Australia’s national interests after 2014 as it is now.

Guest Editorial The Australian, Sydney

Leaving Afghanistan

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was once accused by the Liberals of improvising the war in Afghanistan, as if one could script a decade-long war ahead of time. He has now announced an end to the Canadian military mission as of March 31, 2014. It is the right thing to do, at the right time.

Enough is enough — until the next one.

The fatigue in this country with the loss of life of Canadian soldiers, the intermittent progress, the government corruption, the obstacles that never seem to diminish, such as Pakistan playing both sides, and the enormous financial burden, is overwhelming.

Both Canada and Afghanistan benefited in many ways from this country’s military efforts.

Afghanistan did not revert to being a refuge for the terrorists of al-Qaida — the primary reason for the war. Millions of girls went to school who otherwise would not have, and women assumed roles in the Afghan parliament. But girls and women are still being jailed for such “moral crimes” as fleeing rape, abuse or underage marriage. And the Afghan National Army is far from ready to keep the country secure from the violent zealotry of the Taliban.

Canada did its part with impressive resolve in an unwinnable counterinsurgency war, gaining valuable military expertise but losing 158 soldiers. The day is coming when Afghanistan will be in the lead role when its faces its enemies. That day could not be put off forever.

Ghost Town needs a new name Would it be crass of me to observe a presidential candidate ranted for months about how he would lead the nation out of debt and then closed his campaign with a $4.8 million debt? (Really!) We won’t have Cutesie Newtsie to kick around anymore.

So toxic is the national political scene it makes us grateful to live in New Mexico with its smalltime politics, its splendid sunsets, its quiet lifestyle and its sometimes exciting news. Exciting news?

DEAR READER: Take heart — you are not alone.

And there are many things you can do to prevent it.

Local graduates from McMurry University

ABILENE, Texas—David Wilcox of Roswell has been awarded a bachelor’s degree in religion at McMurry University. David was one of 181 graduates who received a degree during commencement at the Radford Auditorium on May 12.

Offering a diverse academic curriculum to more than 1,400 students, McMurry University is a small Christian liberal arts school in Abilene. Students choose from 41 majors; education and business are popular as are the school's pre-professional programs in medicine, dentistry, law, and physical therapy. The three-week May term gives students an opportunity to explore a subject outside

their major. Through the Servant Leadership Program, students learn about ethics and develop leadership qualities. McMurry's signature Texas Semester takes students through Texas history and culture with hands-on experiences like visits from leading authorities that take place both in the classroom and at historical sites across the state. Internships with businesses in Abilene present undergraduates with the opportunity to acquire additional knowledge of the workplace in nonprofit and corporate settings.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has approved McMurry University to grant master's degrees.

Although not in the initial plans, it might be wise to contract with psychologists to find out if anyone really wants to live in a house where you go to sleep knowing the toaster is chatting with the vacuum cleaner and the oven is cooking something up with the hair drier.

Take a daily fiber supplement. This is one of the most effective ways to reduce fecal leakage. Over-the-counter products like Metamucil or Citrucel are found in any drugstore. More recently, tasteless powdered fiber supplements have become available over-the-counter in drugstores as well. They dissolve more completely in liquids and can be added to any hot or cold liquid you drink — and you won’t know they’re there. Several of my patients tell me they’ve had great results.

Drink plenty of liquid with the fiber supplement to help control diarrhea.

This may seem counterintuitive, but the fiber absorbs the water and prevents leakage of watery stool.

Your medications could also be contributing to your diarrhea and incontinence. Discuss all of your medications with your doctor.

Your doctor may suggest an anti-diarrheal medicine. Loperamide (Imodium) has the added benefit of increasing muscle tone in the internal anal sphincter.

Beginning in the fall of 2012, students may enroll in a Master of Nursing program through the Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing. It is anticipated that a second master's program in Education in Curriculum and Instruction with an English as a Second Language Endorsement will be launched in the fall of 2013 through the School of Education.

So, today this column invites you to send in your suggestions for a really snazzy name that might capture the city and its futuristic purpose. Give us the name and the reason you think it fits.

You can further strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor, including the anal sphincters, with specific exercises.

Biofeedback can help you learn to do the exercises correctly.

Biofeedback can also improve your ability to sense the presence of stool in your rectum. This, in turn, may allow you to get to a bathroom before the situation becomes desperate.

Another form of biofeedback delivers a small electrical shock to your anal sphincter. This produces muscle activity that bulks up the sphincter muscles.

“For I AM the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, to be your God; thus you shall be holy for I am holy”. - Leviticus 11:45

There is amazing wealth in stopping to ponder on the holiness of God. Many times we are too busy to just stop and meditate upon the God we serve and His character. Most people are trying to obtain more of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit has to have more of us! This is especially true if we want the holiness of God to be manifested more and more in our lives through sanctification. God has brought us out of our “Egypt” where we lost in sin with no chance of hope. He did this through His Son, Jesus Christ for the purpose of being our God. It tells us very clearly here that we should be holy because He is. When you stop to consider the holiness of God that is when you can stop and see the goal for your spiritual life. Consider the holiness of God today and let the Lord reign in you thru and thru. Don’t settle for a mediocre complacent walk with Christ; let His holiness saturate you and fill you.

God bless you, Roswell!

NATION/OBITUARIES

Roswell Daily Record

Hot, windy weather raises Colorado wildfire danger DENVER (AP) — Heavy air tankers and thousands of firefighters were on standby Friday as fire managers kept a close watch on high winds and hot temperatures at the start of the Memorial Day weekend.

Fire crews and land management agencies were fully staffed across the state for the fire season, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Steve Segin said.

Two heavy air tankers have been taken to Grand Junction in western Colorado, the area where the fire danger is highest in the state, Segin said.

OBITUARIES

Gladys Annette Norman

Gladys Annette Norman, 75, died on Thursday, May 17, 2012, in Lubbock, Texas.

She was born April 28, 1937, in Dimmitt, Texas, to Walter Elbert Griffith and Johnnie Bob Davenport, who are both deceased. Her parents moved to Roswell when she was very young.

She married Lionel Reed Nor man in June 1955.

Lionel preceded her in death in June 2006.

Annette is survived by sons, Lionel Eugene Norman and his wife Linda and their children, Briana Renae and Kyle Reed, of Albuquerque, Donald Michael Norman and his wife Jamie, and their daughter Ashley Michelle, of Rowell; and daughter, Alice Ann Nor man, of Roswell.

Annette had three siblings, two of whom survive her, Curtis Griffith, of Rio Rancho, and L ynette Grant, of Hagerman. Her brother, Harry Don Griffith, preceded her in death.

Annette began her successful career as a cosmetologist in Roswell, and owned Annette’s Beauty Salon, for more than 25 years. When Annette chose to semi-retire, she continued her career and found her home away from home at Town and Country Wig & Beauty Salon. She loved her customers and colleagues and considered them friends and family.

They were all very important to her.

Annette had many talents, but her true passion was gardening. She loved plants, and her yard looked like an English garden.

Annette loved animals, which included several box turtles, pond turtles, fish, cats, and her beloved Shelties, Bella and Hope. She dearly loved her family, and valued every moment she could spend with them.

Annette was a hard worker who put others before herLeave your mark

“We’ve got the resources, we’ve got the firefighters.

We’re ready,” Segin said.

The National Weather Service said wind gusts could reach 70 mph Saturday in some wester n Colorado valleys, with sustained winds of 25 to 40 mph. Most of western Colorado was under a highwind warning.

Parts of Teller and Fremont counties in the central Colorado mountains were under a red-flag war ning, meaning high winds, hot temperatures and low humidity could create dangerous fire conditions.

Lastly, Annette was a faithful member of the Church of God, in which she was baptized in the late 1950s.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Rom 8:28 There will be a memorial service for Annette on June 10, 2012, in Roswell.

orado was under a highwind watch, with sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph and gusts up to 55 mph possible on Saturday.

Fire danger also was expected to be high in the souther n Colorado foothills and the South Park area on Saturday, said Kyle Fredin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Conditions should improve by Sunday, with calmer winds and lower temperatures, he said.

Segin said visitors to Colorado’s parks should check with county sheriff’s offices about fire restrictions. He also stressed

that campfires should be completely extinguished because that’s how many fires are started.

Colorado has already endured three big wildfires this year.

A fire that started May 14 scorched 12 square miles 20 miles northwest of Fort Collins, forcing the evacuation of about 80 homes.

Federal prosecutors charged 56-year -old James J. Weber of Fort Collins with starting the fire. He told investigators his camp stove started the fire and he was unable to stamp it out.

The U.S. Forest Service

said it plans to pursue restitution from Weber.

The cost of fighting the fire was put at about $3 million.

In late March, the Lower North Fork Fire 25 miles southwest of Denver killed three people and damaged or destroyed more than two dozen homes. That fire was the result of a prescribed burn that grew out of control after it was set by the State Forest Service.

A wildfire caused by a downed power line in Colorado’s rural northeastern plains near the ColoradoKansas-Nebraska border in mid-March forced the

evacuation of 200 to 300 homes and injured three firefighters. The Yuma County fire, which burned 37 square miles, destroyed two homes and two farmsteads and was blamed for the loss of at least 40 to 50 cattle.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Theo Stein said it’s important for everyone to be mindful of fire whether hiking, camping or barbecuing in backyards. “This is one of busiest weekends of the year for state parks, and nothing would ruin a visit more than having to leave because of something someone else did,” Stein said.

50 years on, fire still burns under Centralia CENTRALIA, Pa. (AP) — It’s an anniversary the few remaining souls who live here won’t be celebrating.

Fifty years ago on Sunday, a fire at the town dump ignited an exposed coal seam, setting off a chain of events that eventually led to the demolition of nearly every building in Centralia — a whole community of 1,400 simply gone.

All these decades later, the Centralia fire still burns. It also maintains its grip on the popular imagination, drawing visitors from around the world who come to gawk at twisted, buckled Route 61, at the sulfurous steam rising intermittently from ground that’s warm to the touch, at the empty, lonely streets where nature has reclaimed what coal-industry money once built.

It’s a macabre story that has long provided fodder for books, movies and plays — the latest one debuting in March at a theater in New York.

Yet to the handful of residents who still occupy Centralia, who keep their houses tidy and their lawns mowed, this borough in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania is no sideshow attraction. It’s home, and they’d like to keep it that way.

“That’s all anybody wanted from day one,” said Tom Hynoski, who’s among the plaintiffs in a federal civil rights lawsuit aimed at blocking the state of Pennsylvania from evicting them.

Centralia was already a coal-mining town in decline when the fire department set the town’s landfill ablaze on May 27, 1962, in an illfated attempt to tidy up for Memorial Day. The fire wound up igniting the coal outcropping and, over the years, spread to the vast network of mines beneath homes and businesses, threatening residents with poisonous gases and dangerous sinkholes.

After a contentious battle over the future of the town, the side that wanted to evacuate won out. By the end of the 1980s, more than 1,000 people had moved and 500 structures demolished under a $42 million federal relocation program.

But some holdouts refused to go — even after their houses were seized through eminent domain in the early 1990s. They said the fire posed little danger to their part of town, accused government officials and mining companies of a plot to grab the rights to billions of dollars’ worth of anthracite coal, and vowed to stay put.

After years of letting them be, state officials decided a few years ago to take possession of the homes. The state Department of Community and Economic Development said Friday it’s in negotiations with one of the five remaining

homeowners; the others are continuing to resist, pleading their case in federal court.

Residents say the state has better things to spend its money on. A handwritten sign along the road blasts Gov. Tom Corbett, the latest chief executive to inherit a mess that goes back decades.

“You and your staff are making budget cuts everywhere,” the sign says. “How can you allow (the state) to waste money trying to force these residents out of their homes? These people want to pay their taxes and be left alone and live where they choose!”

Whether it’s safe to live there is subject to debate.

Tim Altares, a geologist with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, said that while temperatures in monitoring boreholes are down — possibly indicating the fire has followed the coal seam deeper underground — the blaze still poses a threat because it has the potential to open up new paths for deadly gases to reach the remaining homes.

“It’s very difficult to quantify the threat, but the major threat would be infiltration of the fire gases into the confined space of a residential living area. That was true from the very beginning and will remain true even after the fire moves out of the area,” Altares said.

Nonsense, say residents who point out they’ve lived for decades without incident.

Carl Womer, 88, whose late wife, Helen, was the leader of a faction that fiercely resisted the government buyout, disagrees the fire poses any threat.

“What mine fire?” Womer asked dismissively as he hosed down his front porch, preparing, he said, for a Memorial Day picnic. “If you go up and see a fire, you come back and tell me.”

Author and jour nalist David DeKok, who’s been writing about Centralia for more than 30 years, said that while he believes Womer’s house is too close to the fire to safely live there, Hynoski and his neighbors are far enough away.

“I don’t think there’s any great public safety problem in letting those people stay there,” said DeKok, author of “Fire Underground,” a book on the town.

Many former residents, meanwhile, prefer to talk about the good times, their nostalgia taking on a decidedly golden hue.

“I loved it. I always liked Centralia from the time I was old enough to understand what it was,” said Mary Chapman, 72, who left in 1986 but returns once a month to the social club at the Centralia fire company.

“If you came out of your house and you couldn’t get your car started, the neighbor would come out and he’d help you. You didn’t even have to ask,” Chapman continued.

“Of course the neighbors knew your business, but they also were there to help you, too.”

Senators seek to name bison ‘national mammal’ Roswell Daily Record

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Western lawmakers want to elevate the Plains bison to a status similar to that of the iconic bald eagle with legislation to declare the burly beasts America’s “national mammal.” advocates Bison launched a “vote bison” public relations campaign Friday to coincide with the bill.

The National Bison Legacy Act introduced in the Senate is backed by lawmakers from Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Rhode Island.

The largely symbolic measure would provide no added protections for the estimated 20,000 wild bison in North America.

And the bald eagle would still hold a somewhat loftier role as the national emblem, as declared by the Second Continental Congress in 1782.

But supporters said the bison legacy bill would afford overdue recognition to a species that has sweeping cultural and ecological significance. Bison — North America’s largest land animal — already appear on two state flags and the official seal of the U.S. Department of Interior.

“The North American bison is an enduring symbol of America, its people and a way of life,” said Wyoming Republican Sen. Mike Enzi, chief sponsor of the bill along with South Dakota Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson.

Tens of millions of bison, also known as buffalo, once roamed most of North America. They were heavily relied on by many American Indian tribes who harvested the animals for food and materials to make clothing and shelter.

Overhunting reduced the population to about 1,000 animals by the turn of the 20th century.

That’s when conservationists, including President Theodore Roosevelt, intervened to save the species from extinction.

Detour on CO 12

TRINIDAD, Colo. (AP) — State transportation officials have opened a detour across the Purgatoire River on Colorado Highway 12, after a crack developed in the bridge over the river.

The Colorado Department of T ransportation closed the bridge Wednesday after a crack developed and a two-foot section of concrete broke off. There were no injuries. A onelane gravel detour parallel to the bridge opened Friday.

The bridge, built in 1925, was being replaced when it failed. The detour will remain until the new bridge opens. That is currently scheduled for October.

Engineers are still trying to determine what caused the bridge failure.

National Park, there are an estimated half-million bison, including animals in commercial herds, many of which have mixed cattle genetics.

Yet resistance to freeroaming bison lingers.

In Montana, livestock producers and property rights advocates have filed lawsuits to stop the spread of an animal that ranchers say can tear down fences, spread disease and compete with domestic cattle for grass.

This week in Boulder, Colo., city officials citing cost concerns and public opposition rebuffed a pro-

posal from Ted Turner to donate a bison herd for viewing along U.S. Highway 36.

John Calvelli with the Wildlife Conservation Society, one of the “vote bison” campaign sponsors, said the effort is meant to transcend political concerns and instead mark the animal’s place in American cultural history.

“This isn’t about getting into the middle of these issues of bison and property rights,” he said. “No matter what political stripe you come from, we can all agree on the important role that bison have played.”

Other sponsors of the campaign are the Intertribal Buffalo Council, which includes 57 tribes, and the National Bison Association.

In recent years, federal and state agencies, wildlife advocates and Indian groups have revived efforts to put wild bison on more parts of the Western landscape.

That includes the transfer in March of about 60 Yellowstone bison to northeaster n Montana’s Fort Peck Reservation.

The Interior Department also has been considering bison for public lands, including Badlands National Park on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado.

This Apatosaurus display is part of Field Station Dinosaurs in Secaucus, N.J., a new family attraction that features 31 types of life-sized animatronic dinosasurs that opens today on 20 acres of woods and grass in northern New Jersey. The park includes a base camp and four learning stations along a three-quarter-mile trail. Its moving dinosaurs include a 90-foot Argentinosaurus that park operators say will be visible from the Empire State Building, about 10 miles away. The dinosaur attraction was designed in partnership with the New Jersey State Museum. It will be open each year from Memorial Day weekend to mid-November.

Flags ordered at half-staff for fallen NM soldier SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez ordered flags flown at half-staff across New Mexico from sunrise until sundown, Friday, in honor of the state’s latest fallen soldier Army Staff Sgt. Israel Nuanes.

The Silver City-born Nuanes, who lived in Las Cruces, was killed in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan earli-

er this month by an enemy attack with an explosive device. He was assigned to the 741st Ordinance Company at Fort Bliss.

He was the recipient of Bronze Star Medal.

Nuanes is survived by his two children.

‘Battleship’ is better than the experts think

Considering that I am a movie reviewer, this may seem counterproductive, but it needs to be said: Don’t listen to the “experts” when it comes to “Battleship.”

As of 7:31 p.m. on Friday, May 25 2012, the rotten tomatoes score of “Battleship” was an abysmal 34 and I cannot understand why.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy bafoon, I believe that reviewers get scared to give films a good rating when so many of their peers are smashing it and they decide to go along with the crowd. Essentially, it is the spiral of silence theory in Hollywood.

Luckily for the loyal readers of the Daily Record, I have no fear of being ostracized. “Battleship” is by no means a perfect action film, but goodness is it fun to watch.

One thing I will agree with the editorial-majority on is that, was it really necessary to align the film with the classic board game?

How many people actually went to watch the film based solely on its “relation” to the board game? No one’s hand went up? Exactly.

Considering that the film was “based” off the board game of the same name, director Peter Berg and writers Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber had a good amount of freedom because the only thing they really needed was battleships.

What that trio ended up with is a mixture of “Independence Day” and “Transformers,” and if you are making an action film, you could do worse.

“Battleship” follows the

loveable-loser Alex Hopper (Tyler Kitsch who must feel like the critics are out to get him after this film and “John Carter” got horrendous reviews) as he devel-

ops from a criminal who breaks into a store to get a burrito for the stunning Samantha Shane (Brooklyn Decker).

After the arrest, Hopper’s

brother Stone (Alexander Skarsgård), who is a commander in the Navy, forces his brother to join him on the sea.

Flash forward a few years and Alex is now a lieutenant despite his criminal record and hot-headedness.

Of course Alex is with Samantha and her father is

an admiral (Liam Neeson).

Just when Alex is about to get booted from the Navy, aliens answer an invite that is sent into space with the help of Cal Zapata (Hamish Linklater) who warns that if the aliens do indeed come they will be Columbus to human’s Indians.

Zapata proves to be right

as the rest of the film is a dazzling display of CGI battles that blow the mind. In short, that is what summer blockbusters are all about.

“Battleship” has its shortcomings, mainly with the casting of such non-actors like Rihanna, but overall it is an enjoyable film that is just plain fun.

Memorial Day weekend carries a lot of traditions with it.

Obviously it is a time to celebrate those men and women of the armed forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

In addition to remembering those heroes, the weekend has become synonymous with cookouts and the unofficial beginning to the summer.

All of the above things occur in Roswell, but the Alien City offers something unique, the Hike It & Spike It Charity Flag Football Tournament.

When play commences at roughly 8 a.m. today, it will signify the 17th consecutive HISI tournament that drew nearly 40,000 people in 2011.

Juan Bullock, who has been playing in the tournament since 1998 with Da Coca Cola Bullies, says

ROCKIES TOP REDS, 6-3

CINCINNATI (AP) — Todd Helton homered and drove in three runs Friday night, leading the Colorado Rockies to a 6-3 victory that ended the Cincinnati Reds’ longest winning streak of the season at six games.

Helton had a two-run homer — his first since April 29 — and a run-scoring single off Johnny Cueto (5-2), who gave up a career-high 11 hits in only 4 2/3 innings. Troy Tulowitzki had three hits, including an RBI single in the ninth.

Rookie left-hander Christian Friedrich (2-1) went five innings against an offense that had been on a home run tear — 10 in the last four games. Joey Votto had four hits for the Reds, including a pair of doubles.

Rafael Betancourt pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in nine chances, closing out only the Rockies’ fifth win in their last 20 games.

Votto had three of his hits off Friedrich, who gave up seven hits and three runs while fanning six. Todd Frazier doubled home a pair of runs.

Friedrich’s short stint put more pressure on the Rockies’ bullpen, which has pitched the second-most innings in the NL. Colorado’s rotation has a 5.55 ERA that is worst in the league.

Five relievers blanked the Reds on a pair of hits.

The Reds failed to hit a homer and stranded six runners in scoring position overall.

Cueto’s uncharacteristically sloppy outing ended the Reds’ surge into first place in the NL Central.

The rotation had been solid, putting together six straight quality starts on the homestand.

The beat-up Rockies opened the series with more injuries. Catcher Ramon Hernandez went on the 15-day disabled list before the game with a sprained left hand.

The appeal of Hike It & Spike It Section

FOR T WOR TH, Texas (AP) — Jason Dufner lists Ben Hogan as his hero.

At Hogan’s Alley, Dufner had the lead halfway through the Colonial with a chance for a Texas two-step that only Hogan has accomplished.

Dufner had a bogey-free 6-under 64 on another windy day Friday to reach 11under 129. A week after winning the Byron Nelson Championship, Dufner had a two-stroke lead over Zach Johnson — the 2010 winner who shot a 67.

The only player to win both PGA Tour events in the Dallas-Fort Worth market in the same year was Hogan in 1946.

“That would be great company to join, obviously,” Dufner said. “To have anything compared to him or be talked in the same sentence with him is something that would be pretty unique and special to me.”

With the way Dufner is playing these days, his game certainly is in a different class.

Both of Dufner’s PGA Tour victories came in his previous three starts. He has led or shared the lead after 11 of his last 34 rounds.

“When I step to the first tee, I feel like I’m going to play a good round of golf.

That’s a nice way to play. It’s a comfortable way to play,” Dufner said. “I’m just trying to be confident and think about the things I’ve been doing for almost a year now, and realize that those are the things that are making me successful out here, and not get too caught up in everything else that’s going on around me.”

Johnson, who had an opening bogeyfree 64, started the second round eaglebirdie-bogey. Then there was a four-hole stretch on the back nine when he alternated birdies and bogeys twice.

During the third round Saturday, Johnson will be paired with his buddy Dufner.

“He’s got a good rhythm about him, about his game right now,” Johnson said.

“But it’s irrelevant who I play with. I’m not playing against him. I’m playing against the golf course and the conditions and the elements that are presented. So that’s my focus.”

Two years ago, Johnson set the Colonial tournament scoring record at 21under 259 en route to the last of his seven PGA Tour victories.

that the atmosphere at HISI is a main reason he keeps returning to Roswell. “(One of the main reasons I keep coming back is) the hospitality,” he said.

“The people are so friendly and it has a friendly feel to it. It feels good that everyone tells us they are cheering for us and know who we are. It is a well put together tournament.”

Bullock, who has won three titles at HISI with the Bullies, says that the event has become a family affair for him. The Bullies were started when Bullock’s father passed away and the team has included many family members, including some from Mexico that come up to participate in the event.

Since he first came in 1998, Bullock says that the biggest change he has seen See HISI, Page B2

Cruz’s grand slam came in the seventh inning and gave Texas a 14-1 lead. He also had a three-run double in the first and an RBI single in the sixth.

Toronto starter Brandon Morrow (5-3) was knocked out after recording just two outs in the first. The right-hander, who had two shutouts in his prior four starts, gave up six runs and five hits in the shortest start of his career.

Derek Holland (4-3) struck out a season-high nine in 7 1-3 innings. He allowed two runs and five hits.

Blue Jays backup catcher Jeff Mathis pitched a scoreless eighth, becoming the sixth position player in Toronto history to pitch.

Cruz, who went 4-for-5, also drove in eight runs on July 22, 2011. His grand slam in the seventh was the fourth of his career and second of the season.

Hamilton, who leads the majors in home runs, had gone 11 games without a homer before leading off the second with his first since May 12. He left the game in the sevSee RANGERS, Page B3

Pecos League Invaders blow 10-1 lead, fall to 5-5

LAS CRUCES — Early on it appeared to be Roswell’s night as the Invaders scored 10 runs in the first two innings.

As the night progressed, however, the tide slowly shifted in Las Cruces’ favor.

Behind a seven-run seventh inning the Vaqueros beat Roswell, 15-14.

Adam Cain drove in four runs for the Invaders, while A.J. Morris collected three hits, one of which was a solo homer.

City Council signs off on Vikings stadium plan

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings bagged the last political sign-off necessary for their new stadium Friday when the Minneapolis City Council narrowly approved the plan.

The 7-6 vote fell along the same lines as a preliminary vote a day earlier. Mayor R.T. Rybak, who engineered the council majority and teamed with Gov. Mark Dayton this spring as major cheerleaders for the deal, celebrated afterward by swigging Grain Belt beer from a horn in his office.

“This has been a bruising fight,” Rybak told the Star Tribune. “I feel in my gut a little bit like I imagine the Vikings feel after a win.”

Minneapolis is putting up $150 million for construction of the $975 million stadium, plus $159 million in operating costs later.

The city will shift hospitality taxes that currently pay debt on the city convention center. The deal also includes using some of

Roswell Daily Record was doing was right, and I was on the right direction and right path,” he said. “I didn’t think too much about losing. I just thought about all of the good things that happened. ... I think that the PGA kind of showed me that I could really play at a high level.”

Divots: Sergio Garcia, the ’01 Colonial champ, followed his opening 66 with a 73. That included an 8 on the 387-yard ninth hole when he hit his approach into the water fronting the green, and then knocked his drop in there as well. ... Ben Crane

(141), who lives just north of Fort Worth, finished his second-round 71 with an eagle at the ninth hole. He holed a wedge shot from 104 yards. ... Harrison Frazar missed the cut with rounds of 72 and 74. He still had a highlight Friday, a hole-in-one with an 8iron at the 183-yard 16th. ... The last of 14 players to win both the Colonial and Byron Nelson Championship was Rory Sabbatini, at the 2007 Colonial and 2009 Nelson.

that money to upgrade Target Center, the home of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Vikings are putting $477 million toward construction of the stadium, with most of that expected to come from stadium-related profits. The state’s share is $348 million, projected to come through taxes on expanded charitable gambling.

Rybak repeatedly touted the Vikings as a valuable asset for the city and the stadium as a job-maker — an estimated 7,500 construction jobs. Supporters also pointed out that the Vikings could leave the state without a new stadium.

Opponents on the council said the deal violated a 1997 charter amendment calling for a vote on stadium subsidies above a certain level, an argument rejected by a city attorney. They also said it was simply a bad deal economically.

“This is too much public cost for not enough public benefit,” Council Member Elizabeth Glidden told the Star Tribune.

“That is the simplest way to state this.”

The new stadium will be built on the site of the current Metrodome, with a target opening date of 2016.

Beason comes to teammate Newton’s defense

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jon Beason may not play offensive tackle, but he’s not afraid to protect his quarterback.

Beason, the Panthers’ three-time Pro Bowl linebacker, fired back Friday at San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith via Twitter after comments he perceived were a slam on Carolina teammate Cam Newton.

Beason wrote, “Alex smith, don’t hate on Cam (because) your stats would’ve gotten u cut if Peyton decided to come 2 San Fran.

Truth b told. That’s after a 13-3 yr.”

Smith used Newton as an example Wednesday that big stats don’t always equate to wins.

Smith said statistics are “totally overblown” and “guess what, you’re like the Carolina Panthers and you’re going no-huddle the entire second half. Yeah, Cam Newton threw for a lot of 300-yard games.

That’s great. You’re not winning, though.”

Heat resting up before return to East finals Roswell Daily Record

MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade has been battling knee soreness. LeBron James was hobbling after a falling into a courtside cameraman. Chris Bosh remains sidelined indefinitely with an abdominal strain. Mike Miller looks to be in agony whenever he moves.

An extra day of rest doesn’t sound like much, but it means plenty right now to the Miami Heat.

Now halfway to their goal of an NBA championship, the Heat took a welcomed — and needed — day off Friday after closing out their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with the Indiana Pacers.

The East finals open Monday in Miami against either Philadelphia or Boston, teams that will settle their second-round series with a Game 7 on Saturday night.

“We can use it,” James said after the Heat ousted the Pacers with a Game 6 win in Indianapolis on Thursday. “Any team in the postseason, any extra day that you can get, it definitely helps us. So we’re going to take advantage of it.”

It’s not like the Heat were planning to sit at home all day, since most players at this time of year tend to hit the training room on off days. Still, for the first time in a while, Friday provided a chance for the reigning East champs to relax a bit, especially after three hardfought wins in five days allowed Miami to claw back from what was a soon-forgotten 2-1 series deficit to the Pacers.

Wade and James combined to score 197 points in the final three games of the Indiana series, while the Pacers’ starters collec-

tively managed 184. Other Heat players stepped up along the way — Udonis Haslem with 14 points in Game 4, Shane Battier with 13 in Game 5, Miller with 12 in Game 6 — but with Bosh sidelined, it was Wade and James who welcomed the challenge of having to handle much of the offensive responsibility.

“I don’t know if they’ve been required to shoulder as much responsibility as they’ve had to now, particularly now that Chris is out,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “And we’re making no excuses. We have enough. But they have to give us more and that’s what competition will do. You play against good competition in this league and it brings out the best in you — you hope.”

Bosh told ESPN.com this week that he is improving, but stopped short of offering a date for his possible return.

He was hurt midway through Game 1 of the Indiana series, meaning nearly two full weeks have passed since he was diagnosed with a strained lower abdominal muscle. The best-case scenario for recovery for someone with that type of injury is typically 2-3 weeks, though the Heat have never deviated from saying Bosh is out indefinitely.

“I appreciate extra rest,” Wade said. “I’m never going to cross my eye on that at all. I feel like it’s welldeserved. I think also it gives us an opportunity to get Chris more therapy, more treatment the days that we’re off and he moves that much closer to being able to rejoin this ballclub.

I thought this was a very physical series ... so the rest will do us some

(good).”

The Pacers probably would suggest Wade couldn’t get much better than he was in the last 10 quarters of their series.

Wade was awful — 2 for 13 shooting, five points, five turnovers — in Game 3, an Indiana blowout that many thought put the Pacers in control of the series.

He started Game 4 by missing seven of his first eight shots. And from there, the 2006 finals MVP was in 2006 finals MVP form again: Wade shot 39 for 57 the rest of the series, putting up 41 points and 10 rebounds in Thursday’s

clincher.

Since 1992, according to STATS LLC, there’s been 52 instances of someone having at least 40 points and 10 rebounds in a playof f game. Of those, 50 came from players listed to be at least 6-foot-6. The other two are by Wade, perhaps generously listed at 6foot-4.

“Spectacular, from the beginning to the end,” James said of Wade’s Game 6 ef fort. “He got in a rhythm early and just kept going.”

James missed a layup with 1:34 left in the first half on Thursday, his left

single capped the scoring in the first, and Morrow was relieved one batter later after Ian Kinsler doubled to center.

Texas, which had been held to 35 runs in its last 10 games, finished with 18 hits.

Mathis was the fifth Blue Jays pitcher of the

Yet the Knicks never looked anywhere beyond Woodson, believing they can continue to improve with a full season of his coaching.

“I think Woody ear ned the right to be the first person we talked to and turned out to be the only

person we talked to because our discussions with him after the season really reflected why he was so successful during the season,” general manager Glen Grunwald said.

“We thought he was the right guy for this team at this time. Obviously, there’s some great coaches out there that had we opened up the search would have been called, mainly Phil Jackson, who’s the most successful coach in the NBA history, but we felt Woody was our guy and

Knicks give coach Mike Woodson multiyear extension

NEW YORK (AP) — One playoff victory was good enough for Mike Woodson to retur n as New York Knicks coach — even with Phil Jackson lurking as a potential candidate.

Woodson knows more will be asked of him now.

“I know expectations are high and they should be high,” Woodson said during a conference call, “and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

The Knicks removed the interim tag Friday and announced they had given

Woodson a multiyear contract extension, rewarding him for a terrific finish to what had been a turbulent season.

Woodson led the Knicks to an 18-6 record after replacing Mike D’Antoni on March 14. The Knicks lost 4-1 to Miami in the first round, snapping an NBArecord, 13-game postseason losing streak by winning Game 4 for their first victory since 2001.

Still, there was speculation that Madison Square Garden chairman James

he showed it during the season and our discussions after the season.”

Woodson shrugged of f the Jackson speculation.

“T remendous coach, I know his name’s been mentioned a lot, but that was not my concer n,” Woodson said. “My concern at the time was coaching the New York Knicks the period that I had to coach and Mr. Dolan decided to bring me back.”

Neither the Knicks nor Woodson would disclose the terms of the deal.

A first-round draft pick of the Knicks in 1980, Woodson returned to the team last summer as an assistant coach, providing a defensive-minded voice to D’Antoni’s staff. Woodson’s influence, combined with Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler, moved the Knicks into the top half of the league’s defensive rankings after they had been one the worst teams for years.

D’Antoni resigned March 14 when the Knicks were 18-24 and in danger of missing the playoffs. Woodson won his first five games and was praised by players for holding them more accountable to playing defense. Most importantly, he got the most out of Carmelo Anthony, who was having a disappointing season in D’Antoni’s offense but was April’s Easter n Conference player of the month.

“Mike took over the team under challenging circumstances and made it clear, starting on day one, that he

was going to hold every player on our roster accountable,” Dolan said in a statement. “We saw a significant improvement since Mike took over and believe our team will only keep improving under Mike’s direction.”

Woodson denied recent reports that he had replaced agent Joe Glass under pressure from Dolan to avoid having to work again with former coach Larry Brown’s representation. Woodson confirmed he switched to CAA, but said it was his choice, and that agent Terry Prince had worked on his contract.

Anthony, Chandler and fellow star Amare Stoudemire had all backed Woodson’s return when the season ended. And his chances of improving returned when the Knicks removed the interim tag from Grunwald, his former college teammate at Indiana, late in the regular season.

Woodson previously spent six seasons as coach of the Atlanta Hawks, improving his win total in every season until they went 53-29 in 2009-10.

But he wasn’t retained after they were swept in the conference semifinals for the second straight year.

He then sat out a year before interviewing last summer for openings in Detroit — where he was an assistant on the Pistons’ NBA championship team in 2004 — Minnesota and Houston. He then was hired by the Knicks on Aug. 29.

Roswell Daily Record

More travelers to hit the road this Memorial Day NEW YORK (AP) — More Americans will hit the road this holiday weekend than a year ago. And they’ll have a bit more money to spend thanks to lower gas prices.

Memorial Day kicks off the summer travel season, and since pump prices never reached $4 or $5 a gallon, as feared, economists say travelers are likely to dine out or shop more once they pull off the road.

About 30.7 million people will drive more than 50 miles for Memorial Day trips, according to auto club AAA. That’s 400,000 more than last year, a jump AAA attributes to improvement in the economy and consumer attitudes. The number of holiday travelers grows to 34.8 million when you include planes, trains and other means of transportation.

A drop in gas prices encouraged Americans to spend more at restaurants and bars in April. And that trend could continue over the holiday. Pump prices are down 27 cents since their peak in early April, to $3.67 a gallon, where they’re likely to stay this weekend, predicts Tom Kloza, the chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. That’s 12 cents cheaper than last year. Over the weekend, U.S. drivers will burn about 1.2 billion gallons of gasoline — and spend $144 million less on gas than last year.

Restaurants, movie theaters and retailers hope some of that savings goes to them. Just last month, AAA and IHS Global Insight, the firm that analyzed the AAA study, were expecting travelers to spend less on entertainment, dining and shopping on vacation and devote more time to family and friends.

Now, travelers might take longer trips or

those surveyed by AAA said they’ll travel less than 400 miles. They might be tempted to drive farther — a fill up costs about $4 to $5 less than in early April when gas peaked at an average of $3.94. But they’ll burn through that savings after about 30 to 40 miles.

Douglas Berkley Jr., of Cranberry Township, Pa’ drives his family 90 miles to a family house on Indian Lake in Shankesville, Pa’ most summer weekends, including Memorial Day. He hasn’t noticed much of a drop in prices — it still costs him about $80 to fill his Chevy Tahoe.

“Any little bit helps, though, obviously,” he says.

How far people travel might also depend on where they live. The difference in gas prices around the country is far wider than normal this year, Kloza says. Refinery problems on the West Coast — where prices are usually higher than the national average anyway — have kept prices especially high there. West Coast drivers could be paying as much as $4.50 per gallon this weekend. Meanwhile, in states like South Carolina, drivers could be paying as low as $3.10.

Some people who would normally stuff suitcases in overhead bins are packing them in car trunks. They’re balking at higher ticket prices, and AAA forecasts a 5.5 percent decline in air travel within the U.S. this Memorial Day. U.S. airlines spent 8 percent more on fuel in the first quarter, on top of a 26 percent increase last year, government data show. They’re passing that expense along to passengers.

The average airfare for North American flights: $291.04 per round trip, including taxes, according to travel site Kayark.com.

That’s up 23 percent from last year.

More Americans will hit the road this holiday weekend than a year ago. And they’ll have a little extra money to spend thanks to lower gas prices.

spend more on other things “because there’s more money left in their pocket,” says John Larson, vice president for IHS. Still, most people need to restrict their travel budgets. For many, incomes are growing slightly if at all. Household debt remains high. And although the increase in the stock market over the past year has helped some regain wealth lost in the recession, there is still a ways to go. A recent report from the Federal Reserve shows that American household wealth

would have to rise by 13 percent to return to pre-recession levels.

While drivers may feel relief at the pump, gas still isn’t cheap. Besides last year, the only other time gas was more expensive on Memorial Day was 2008, when it eventually climbed to a record of $4.11 per gallon. This year, gas shot up by 66 cents from January through early April because of a spike in oil prices.

As a result, many people were skittish about planning long road trips. Half of

P&G to add latches to make detergent packs safer

DALLAS (AP) — The maker of Tide Pods will create a new double-latch lid to deter children from accessing and eating the brightly colored detergent packets, a company spokesman said Friday.

Procter & Gamble spokesman Paul Fox said the Cincinnati-based company plans to create a new lid on tubs of Tide Pods “in the next couple of weeks.” The company continues to study the design of the package, Fox said.

Doctors say children sometimes swallow Tide Pods and similar laundry products, around 1 inch cubes that are meant to be dropped into a washing machine in place of liquid or powder detergent. Nearly 250 cases nationally have been reported to poison control centers this year, a figure that’s expected to rise. No deaths have been reported.

Almost all of the cases so far have been reported since March, when several companies began to market the packets. A handful of children have been hospitalized for several days.

Texas reported 71 instances of exposure this year, all but one in March or later. Missouri reported 25 cases related to the packets, and Illinois reported 26.

Some children might be confusing the tubs of colorfully swirled detergent packets for bowls of candy, said Bruce

CHICAGO(AP) - Futures trading on the Chicago Board of Trade Thursday: Open high

D. Anderson, director of operations at the Maryland Poison Center. Maryland has reported 15 cases this year.

“Kids are very bright and will find a way to get to something that they want to get to,” he said.

Dr. Michael Buehler of the Carolinas Poison Center said Tide’s tougher lid could make a difference.

“In a nutshell, yes, it would be good, but I don’t know enough,” Buehler said. “It’s too early to tell.”

Spokesmen for Purex, All and Arm & Hammer did not immediately return requests for comment about whether their companies also planned changes. Kathryn Corbally, a spokeswoman for Sun Products Corp., said the company is evaluating its packaging.

The packets appear to cause more severe symptoms than typical detergent, possibly because a single packet has a full cup’s worth of detergent or because the packets might activate more quickly or differently.

In suburban Philadelphia, a 17-month-old boy climbed onto a dresser and popped a detergent package in his mouth. The boy vomited, became drowsy and started coughing, said Dr. Fred Henretig of the Poison Control Center at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The boy was put on a ventilator for a day and hospitalized for a week.

Where do the single men go?

They rarely go out alone or with a male buddy. Our running joke is they’re all home watching bad cable TV. Middle-aged guys must be there somewhere, but where? You’d think that if they wanted to meet women, they’d go where women are, but we rarely see them. Can you solve this mystery for us?

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR WHERE THE BOYS AREN’T: Part of your problem may be that most of the males in your age group are already married. I don’t recommend looking for eligible men in clubs and bars because the ones who go there are usually looking for younger women.

I do suggest volunteering because it offers an opportunity to expand one’s circle of acquaintances, and even if you don’t meet a man there, you might meet a woman who knows someone who is eligible. I caution women who are looking for companionship not to “hunt in packs” because some men find the idea of approaching a

DEAR ABBY: My friends and I are women in our late 40s and early 50s. Some of us are married, some are single.

Individually or as a group we have taken classes, volunteered, gone on cruises, gone to clubs and bars — you name it.

We have noticed that nearly everyone at these activities is either female or with a female as part of a couple. There are loads of single middle-aged women out there joining things and having fun, but there seem to be almost no single middle-aged men. Friends in various parts of the country report the same thing.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful man for two years. We’re talking about marriage, but there is a problem. He has his ex’s name tattooed on his backside and it’s starting to bother me. I offered to pay to have it removed, but he doesn’t want it off. Do I stay with him and try to get over it, or break up with him and find someone else? Help me!
