Steve Pearce dropped from House post

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce has been removed from a leadership position in the U.S. House of Representatives after he and a group of conservative House Republicans sided with Democrats in opposing a trade resolution that would grant President Obama fast-track trade promotion authority.

Fast-track trade authority would give the president the authority to negotiate international trade agreements that Congress can approve or disapprove, but which Congress cannot amend or filibuster.

Pearce was informed by House Republican leaders on June 15 he had been removed from the House GOP whip team because Pearce voted on June 12 against a House leadership-backed resolution to combine a fast-track trade bill with a measure known as Trade Adjustment Assistance, which is intended to give compensation to workers displaced by trade agreements.

Pearce, R-Hobbs, was appointed a member of the whip team in January by House Speaker John Boehner, with whom Pearce has sparred in the past. Pearce voted for Boehner for speaker of the House in January,

but voted against Boehner for speaker when the House reorganized after the 2012 general elections.

Whips are appointed by both Republican and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate to ensure party discipline and advise party leaders how members intend to vote on upcoming bills.

U.S. Reps. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, and Trent Franks, R-Arizona, were also removed from the Republican whip team by GOP leaders after they and 31 other House Republicans voted against the trade procedural rule on June 12.

Pearce said he was told his removal

from the GOP whip team was a direct result of his June 12 vote on the procedural rule.

“Not much has changed,” Pearce said in a statement after his removal from the leadership position. “I came here to represent the people of the Second Congressional District of New Mexico. That means considering each vote on its merits and striving to do the right thing for them. Sometimes that demands casting hard votes, as I did (on June 12). I always strive to vote on principle and that won’t change.”

Alvin Chong, middle, a well-known tattoo artist from Malaysia, has worked around the world and was a judge on InkMaster.

Chong is part of the Sullen Art Collective out of Los Angeles that specialize in tattoo artist T-shirts. That is how Max Stacy, left, the owner of Alien Invasion Shop, met him last year.

Chong is known for his portraits and his fine attention to detail.

He has created exclusively for the Alien Invasion Shop a Roswell-themed T-shirt with an alien, a skull and UFOs. Chong said he took this trip to see his friend Max. “I want to see the UFO museum, too,” he said. “I do believe in aliens. I don’t know if they are green or grey, but I believe they exist.” Chong said he regrets that he can’t stay for the UFO Festival. “I can only stay two days before I have to head north to Denver and back to Los Angeles and from there to New York City for work.”

Local group offers Alzheimer’s help

By Dylanne Petros Record Staff Writer People who have Alzheimer’s disease may feel like they are alone, but they aren’t.

a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior,” Tras said.

Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, Tras said, because the brain is always growing and changing throughout a person’s life.

Alzheimer’s generally affects people ages 65 and older. More than 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s.

Sometimes people say dementia when they mean Alzheimer’s and vice versa, Tras said, but dementia is actually a condition while Alzheimer’s is the disease.

There are more than 200 different forms of dementia, he said, including vascular dementia, mixed dementia, Parkinson’s disease dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Huntington’s disease dementia and Down syndrome dementia, among others.

not just show up one day, Tras said.

“It takes a long time for this disease to develop,” he said.

People who are worried they might have Alzheimer’s because they forget where they put their keys don’t have much to worry about yet, he said.

“It’s when you don’t know what the keys are for that you’ve got a problem,” Tras said.

People have the ability to learn new things throughout their entire life, Tras said, but people with Alzheimer’s cannot learn anything new and start losing short-term memories.

“The last things in (the brain) are the first things they lose,” he said.

At present there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, Tras said, but the company Biogen, in Europe, is working on a medication that could potentially stop the disease from progressing.

Since Alzheimer’s is progressive not everyone who is diagnosed with the disease

has to go into a nursing home immediately, Tras said.

“Their lives change but they can still live relatively normal lives,” he said. “We have a lot of people in an early stage support group who are doing very well.”

The biggest commonality people with Alzheimer’s have is that they usually cannot drive, Tras said.

Hispanics and African-Americans are also more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than whites. Hispanics are 1 1/2 more times likely to have Alzheimer’s while African-Americans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer’s. People who have diabetes are also at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s, Tras said, because diabetes affects the amount of nutrients the brain receives.

“One of the things we like the tell people is ‘What’s healthy for your heart is healthy for your head,’” he said. “If you’re taking care of your heart, you’re taking good care of your brain.”

The Roswell chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association offers

support groups for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers as well as a 24/7 hotline, 1-800-272-3900, for people to call. The helpline has support in 127 languages so people can receive the help they need in the language they are most comfortable with, Tras said.

The Roswell chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association also hosts a walk every year to raise money for Alzheimer’s research, Tras said.

This years Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be Oct. 17. The Roswell chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is located at 404 N. Kentucky Ave. and the phone number is 6241552.

“As we all age, we’ll all find that we have deficits. You compensate for them,” Tras said. “It’s when they interfere with your life, when (you say) ‘What’s happening to me is really creating a problem for me.’ That’s when it’s serious.”

For those interested in how comic cons started, here’s a bit of info for you.

Comic cons started in California in 1970 by comic book, sci-fi and movie fans who wanted a chance to meet their heroes of the fictional world.

Starting as a miniconvention, it quickly grew into the four-day spectacular event know as the San Diego International.

Many people look forward

to the San Diego con a year in advance, not just to get the tickets for the con, but to get a hotel, transportation, food, and whatever is being sold at the merchandise table. According to the Comic-Con International: San Diego wiki page, in 2010 around 130,000 people were in attendance.

Comic cons, or comic book conventions, are a great chance to make new friends, meet your favorite

celebrities, and, if your a business, sell lots of merchandise.

It’s also a good way to spend a family vacation while meeting your favorite actors, authors, comic book creators and game developers.

Whatever you call it, a con can be whatever you wish. It all depends on you.

Volunteers sought for yard cleanup The Roswell Reaches Out project is seeking volunteers to assist them in mowing, yard cleanup and weed removal.

The project is a joint venture between the Chaves County Republican Women and the City of Roswell.

Roswell Reaches Out continues until Aug. 1. The Roswell Police Department, under the supervision of Fil Gonzales, commander of the patrol division, has had a daily presence in various parts of Roswell.

During the month of June, there is a police command post set up daily at Carpenter Park at the 300 block of East Buena Vista St.

The purpose of this police presence is to inform the public that the police are our friends and they are there to help and assist our community.

There is free finger printing being done through the Neighborhood Watch program.

Code Enforcement, under the supervision of Bill Bartlett, is identifying properties that need cleanup in order to meet city code. Many owners of properties that need clean up are either elderly or infirmed and cannot do the necessary work themselves.

Please consider giving us a few hours of your time. If you can assist us, call Janna Wooley at 505-715-0538.

A spokesman for Pearce said the procedural rule opposed by Pearce would have bypassed the normal legislative process.

On June 12, the House voted 219-211 on the procedural rule to advance the trade promotion authority legislation that makes it easier for the Obama administration to complete sweeping trade deals, including the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The House measure deemed passage of two separate trade authority bills as one bundled package, in an effort to avoid sending the legislation back to the Senate for approval.

The June 12 procedural vote was in advance of the House’s final fast-track vote on Thursday, when the House voted 218-208 on the free-standing trade promotion bill without the Trade Adjustment Assistance.

The Trade Adjustment Assistance bill failed by a wide margin in the House during a June 13 vote.

Pearce, the only Republican among New Mexico’s five-member congressional delegation, voted against the overall trade bill on Thursday, the second time in a week’s span that Pearce voted against fast-track trade legislation.

“Many have sold Trade Promotion Authority, known as fast-track, as the way forward to increase our sales to other nations, helping to drive our economy forward,” Pearce said in a news release. “While I strongly support free trade agreements to decrease our nation’s trade deficit and pro-

“The TPA vote (on June 12) missed significant principles that need to be included in any such bill, like competitive currency standards, fair trading practices and including the opinion of the American people.”

Twenty-eight pro-trade House Democrats joined Republicans to pass the final fast-track bill in the House on Thursday. House GOP leaders wanted to pass both measures as a single bill to move the legislation forward because the Senate had combined both measures.

However, with the June 13 defeat of the Trade Adjustment Assistance bill in the House, only the fast-track trade authority portion was sent to the Senate.

Pearce said the House-approved fast-track trade bill still lacks competitive currency standards and fair trading practices.

“The American people must have faith that Congress will act on their behalf,” Pearce said. “With no meaningful change to ensure them that their questions and concerns

will be given consideration in the treaty approval process, I cannot support (the) bill.”

Pearce also said the issue of fast-track trade promotion authority is complicated by the Obama administration’s “disregard for the rule of law.”

“Complicating matters, for the next 19 months, the Obama administration would be at the helm of any trade negotiations,” Pearce said. “For the past six years, this administration has acted with near reckless disregard for the rule of law and the Constitution.

Unfortunately, this is not limited to economic impacts.

“The administration has not explained the death of an American ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, unilaterally acting on immigration, or massive land grabs in the West. President Obama has shown time and again he is willing to set the rule of law aside to achieve his personal goals.”

The Senate on Tuesday voted 60-37 to advance the fast-track trade bill, which does not include the workers assistance program for those displaced by trade agreements.

U.S. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, both Democrats representing New Mexico, voted with most Senate

Democrats against the cloture motion, which cuts off debate and sets up a final vote today in the Senate on the fast-track legislation.

If the Senate approves the fast-track bill, it would be sent to the president for consideration.

Charleston shows forgiveness to shooter

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

— Martin Luther King Jr.

It is such a rare act that most do not know how to respond, except in stunned silence. Relatives of the nine people murdered while attending a Bible study and prayer meeting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, told the accused killer they forgive him.

In violent streets we have become used to calls for retribution, appeals for justice, rioting, looting, marches and self-appointed civil rights leaders hogging cameras and microphones with angry people standing behind them and chants of “no justice, no peace.”

But this; this act of forgive-

Syndicated Columnist ness by grandsons and sons, daughters, husbands and other relatives of the dead is so out of character, so distant from the “norm” we have come to expect, so not Ferguson, Missouri, or Baltimore, so not the Middle East, that it makes the world stop and pause.

Preachers call it “grace,” which they define as “unmerited favor.” The accused killer doesn’t deserve it, but he is offered forgiveness nonetheless.

It speaks volumes about the

character and spiritual strength of those extending grace to him.

In a normal person, grace might bring repentance and, yes, salvation, which is what at least one of the relatives said she was praying would happen to Dylann Roof, a deeply troubled 21-yearold who is accused of the murders.

When the world sees such acts of kindness, it doesn’t know what to say. For many it is unfamiliar territory. And yet it is precisely the outworking of what those in that prayer meeting found in the Bible they were studying and the God to whom they prayed. It is a part of the nonviolence taught and practiced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His refusal to respond to violence with violence helped turn the hearts of many and change the laws of a nation.

Pictures of church services

following the killings showed a racial diversity and a coming together that might not just heal Charleston, but serve as a model for the rest of the nation about how to react to senseless violence. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s emotional response to the murders also served as a needed balm that can help heal Charleston’s deep wound.

“Amazing Grace” is a hymn sung in churches, at funerals and on other occasions. It is familiar even to those who are not regular churchgoers and may not fully appreciate its meaning. The author, John Newton, was a slave trader. The story of his remorse, repentance and salvation has been told in books and films, but never better than in the first verse of his hymn: “Amazing grace! How sweet

the sound That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.”

Those sweet people who unknowingly but graciously welcomed Dylann Roof into their prayer meeting, only to come face to face with a man who, in the parlance of the church must have been possessed by a demon, if not Satan himself, are now receiving the fruits of God’s grace. Relatives of the dead who have extended grace to Roof have also modeled it to the rest of the country. In doing so they are examples of the One they follow, who, though innocent of any wrongdoing, said to His Father while hanging on a cross, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Editorial

Pelosi undeterred in trade opposition Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was adamant: “That’s not fair,” she said during an appearance this week on CNBC. The San Francisco Democrat was responding to the insinuation that she sucker-punched President Obama on free trade.

It occurred last Friday when the House deliberated on a trade liberalization package approved by a bipartisan majority of the Senate. The package included two pieces of legislation — trade adjustment assistance and trade promotion authority.

TAA provides aid to workers who might lose their jobs as the result of a free trade agreement. TPA empowers the president to submit negotiated trade pacts to Congress for a straight up-ordown vote with no filibusters and no poison-pill amendments.

Under arcane House rules, approval of TPA meant nothing if not preceded by approval of TAA. Rep. Pelosi, the House minority leader, was well aware of that when she voted against TAA. And her “No” vote signaled to fellow House Democrats that they too should vote against the measure.

So, while trade promotion authority passed the House (with Rep. Pelosi voting against), its passage was effectively nullified by the defeat of trade adjustment assistance.

Yet, Pelosi was on CNBC this week protesting that she did not undermine Obama, despite handing him one of the most crushing defeats of his presidency.

What we found most disingenuous about the House minority leader’s defense of her votes against free trade is that she claimed to be doing the will of her constituents back in San Francisco.

“I’ll take you with me to my district,” she told her CNBC interviewer. “You will be very surprised at how everyday people who are not connected to any organized organizations, who come and say don’t vote for that.”

Well, we don’t know who those supposed “everyday people” are in San Francisco unconnected to any “organized organizations” who apparently are advising Rep. Pelosi on U.S. trade policy.

They obviously aren’t owners of one of the more than 75,000 companies in the Golden State — 96 percent of which are either small or medium-sized businesses — that export goods overseas. Nor are they one of the 775,000 California workers whose jobs are supported by exports.

They understand, first hand, how free trade benefits California. We doubt they will give Rep. Pelosi an “attagal” if she repeats her shortsighted votes against trade adjustment assistance and trade-promotion authority when the House reconsiders both.

Marco Rubio vs. The New York Times Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. — who, according to polls of Republican voters nationally, wins higher favorable and lower unfavorable ratings than any of the potential 2016 presidential candidates — has shown some real nerve and more than a little brass. After The New York Times reported on Rubio’s unorthodox personal finances — including his use, as speaker of the Florida House, of the state GOP’s credit card for personal expenses, cashing in his retirement account, and buying, with effectively no money down, three houses (one of which he was forced to sell after five months of missed mortgage payments) — Rubio did not retreat. Instead, he used a fundraising mailing to attack the Times for implying that he is not “rich enough

Mark Shields Syndicated Columnist to be president,” seeking to turn the story against the Democratic front-runner, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “It’s true, I didn’t make over $11 million last year giving speeches to special interests. And we don’t have a family foundation that has raised $2 billion from Wall Street and foreign interests.”

Nice try, senator, but no sale. Running for the White House is totally different from running for governor

or senator. In the words of former presidential pollster Peter D. Hart, “when you run for president, you are flying at a much higher altitude than you have ever before experienced.” The scrutiny, the pressure and the demands increase exponentially. The American voter is far likelier to cast her ballot based on issues — education, health care, taxes — in a vote for the House or the Senate, where we have less feeling of actually knowing the nominees. But our vote for the White House is almost always the most “personal” we cast. We are bombarded with information and impressions of the individual candidates. We hear from their high-school classmates, their car pool colleagues, people they worked for (or who worked for them), their

siblings, their in-laws and their old neighbors.

We have also learned, painfully, that failed American presidents have been failures not of intellect or education or experience but rather of character, values and personality. In fact, Richard M. Nixon, our only chief executive to resign in disgrace, had a first-rate mind. He had graduated from Duke University School of Law, served as a Navy officer, been both a U.S. representative and a U.S. senator from California, and served two terms as vice president before being elected and re-elected president.

Three-drug regimen works best for treating heart failure DEAR READERS: Yesterday, I answered a question about treatments for heart failure. It’s a big topic, and so today I’m talking about the medicines that are typically used to treat heart failure.

As we discussed, heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump efficiently enough to meet the body’s need for blood. As a result, tissues and organs throughout the body don’t get enough oxygen. Also, fluid builds up in the lungs and other body tissues.

Taking heart failure medicines as prescribed is perhaps the single most important thing you can do to feel better and live longer. The medicines available today are dramatically more potent than the medicines that were available when I was in medical school.

Most people with heart failure need a three-drug regi-

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate men. This includes a diuretic, a beta blocker, and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB).

Diuretics are also called water pills. They help the kidneys eliminate the excess sodium and water that builds up because of heart failure.

This reduces blood volume, blood pressure, swelling and congestion.

Beta blockers reduce the heart’s workload. At times of stress and during exercise, nerve cells release hormones that stimulate the heart. One

such hormone is adrenaline. At first, these hormones cause the heart to pump both faster and more forcefully, giving a brief boost to the performance of a failing heart. But when persistently high levels of adrenaline keep “whipping” the heart muscle to work harder, the muscle becomes exhausted. Beta blockers reduce the stimulation of the heart, slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure and decrease the heart’s workload. When the heart is not being constantly whipped to pump faster and harder, it pumps more efficiently.

ACE inhibitors and ARBs relax blood vessels. They work on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This is an intricate system that links the brain, heart and kidneys via hormones in the blood. (These hormones are different from adrenaline.)

The renin-angiotensin-al-

dosterone system regulates blood pressure.

In a person with heart failure, the heart’s weak pumping activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

This raises the amount of fluid and sodium in the blood and blood pressure, creating extra work for the already weakened heart. ACE inhibitors and ARBs calm down the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, relaxing blood vessels and relieving high blood pressure.

On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a table listing the names, actions and possible side effects of drugs in each of these categories.

Two other types of medicines are sometimes used to treat heart failure: aldosterone blockers and digoxin. Aldosterone blockers are another class of drugs that See DR. K, Page A5

The VA ‘fix’ is busted and no one wants to fix it

It seems the news wires suddenly came alive shortly after my rant last Friday in my column “VA local Choice Program is put to the test.” Obviously, the timing was coincidental, but there is something to “having gut feelings.”

The Associated Press broke a story that The New York Times released Saturday online, ahead of its Sunday editions. Richard A. Oppel Jr. caught the eye of many watching “Choice Care” as a fix to last year’s VA scandal.

The number of veterans seeking health care but ending up on waiting lists of one month or longer is 50 percent higher now than it was a year ago when a scandal over false records and long wait times wracked the Department of Veterans Affairs, The New York Times reported.

The VA also faces a budget

the primaries by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for his work as a venture capitalist leader of a bunch of “rich people figuring out clever legal ways to loot a company” and by then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry for being a “vulture capitalist” whose Bain

shortfall of nearly $3 billion and is considering furloughs, hiring freezes and other significant moves to reduce the gap. How is the VA ever going to get money to cover this shortfall? I offered my opinion on that last Friday.

According to the Times, “Agency (VA) officials expect to petition Congress this week to allow them to shift money into programs running short of cash. But that may place them at odds with Republican lawmakers who object to removing funds from a new pro-

gram intended to allow certain veterans on waiting lists and in rural areas to choose taxpayer-paid care from private doctors outside the department’s health system.” As I said Friday, the president called for this “robbery” several months ago, and here it comes. Veterans have seen this slick shell game too many times over the last — well, far too many years.

Some take it back to WWII, some to Korea, Vietnam, Middle Eastern wars and so on. Will it just keep going?

To continue the NYT findings, “Since the waiting-list scandal broke last year, the department has broadly expanded access to care. Its doctors and nurses have handled 2.7 million more appointments than in any previous year, while authorizing 900,000 additional patients to see outside physicians. In all,

agency officials say, they have (increased capacity) by more than seven million patient visits per year — double what they originally thought they needed to fix shortcomings. But what was not foreseen, department leaders say, was just how much physician workloads and demand from veterans would continue to soar — by one-fifth, in fact, at some major veterans hospitals over just the past year.

“According to internal department budget documents obtained by The New York Times, physician workloads — as measured by an internal metric known as ‘relative value units’ — grew by 21 percent at hospitals and clinics in the region that includes Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina; by 20 percent in the Southern California and southern

Nevada regions; and by 18 percent in North Carolina and Virginia. And by the same measure, physician care purchased for patients treated outside the department grew by 50 percent in the region encompassing Pennsylvania and by 36 percent in the region that includes Michigan and Indiana.” Looks like New Mexico was conveniently missing from the stats.

So, according to Obama (as I reported in a few previous vet advocate columns), money needs to be shifted out of the Choice Care Program since veterans aren’t using the program in the volumes originally predicted. But, oops, —the VA now has a different story! The VA (over all) has serious shortfalls which necessitate shifting money out of the Choice Care Program, which doesn’t appear to really be

working! Is everyone following this circus? I feel this is just the beginning.

“Something has to give,” the VA’s deputy secretary, Sloan D. Gibson, said in an interview with the Times.

“We can’t leave this as the status quo.

We are not meeting the needs of veterans, and veterans are signaling that to us by coming in for additional care, and we can’t deliver it as timely as we want to.”

Now, let me get that straight. The VA is not giving vets the health care they need, so they are coming in for additional care?

Bottom line: I think the government wishes we vets would just go away (until the next war, that is). God bless.

Capital laid off workers in acquired companies solely to improve the bottom line.

This, reinforced by similar attacks from President Barack Obama’s campaign, helps explain why Romney lost to Obama by an 81-18 percent margin when it came to the quality of “cares about people like me,” which 21 percent of voters told exit pollsters on Election Day is the

most important one for presidential candidates.

Romney won majorities among voters who identified “vision for the future” (29 percent), “shares my values,” (27 percent) and “strong leader” (18 percent) as their most important presidential quality.

But he flunked the empathy test.

So it’s totally legitimate for the press and the voters to look at and examine

how a would-be president, especially one who makes fiscal austerity a central issue, has made and has managed his or her own money. Because Heraclitus remains as right today as he was 25 centuries ago, when he wrote, “Character is destiny.”

GOP candidates embrace SC gov’s call on Confederate flag WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans with presidential aspirations rushed Monday to embrace South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s call to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol, eager to move past a vexing issue that challenges the GOP’s effort to win over the diverse coalition of voters it likely needs to win back the White House.

Haley gave her party’s presidential candidates some much-desired political cover by calling for the banner’s removal, reversing her own position and conceding that to many the flag is a “deeply offensive symbol of a brutally oppressive past.”

Minutes later, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tweeted out his agreement: “Kudos to @nikkihaley and all the SC leaders standing with her for doing the right thing.” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry did the same.

It was a sharp shift for the GOP’s presidential class, which avoided taking such a firm position about the flag for several days following the slaying last week of nine black church members in Charleston. Walker was among the many who said it was a decision best left to those in South Carolina.

Republican leaders had hoped to avoid such a divisive issue this early in the campaign, and the GOP debate has to this point centered on foreign policy and the economy.

But eight months before the first presidential votes are cast, several events have forced the party to confront issues where the opinions of those conservatives who hold an outsized influence in the party’s nomination process can be at odds with the young and minority voters it seeks to bring into the fold. The church shooting in South Carolina, a papal proclamation and a looming Supreme Court decision have put race, climate change and gay marriage onto the agenda.

Before last week’s shooting at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, allegedly by a young white man who

Capitol Hill Buzz: Meryl Streep asks Congress to revive ERA WASHINGTON (AP) — No actor or actress can match Meryl Streep’s 19 Academy Award nominations, and only Katharine Hepburn has bested her three Oscars for acting. So maybe it’s conceivable that Streep’s letter Tuesday to each member of Congress can somehow revive the Equal Rights Amendment, politically dormant since its high-water mark four decades ago.

“I am writing to ask you to stand up for equality - for your mother, your daughter, your sister, your wife or yourself - by actively supporting the Equal Rights Amendment,” Streep writes. Each packet includes a copy of “Equal Means Equal,” a book by Jessica Neuwirth, president of the ERA Coalition.

C o n g re ss p a s se d th e Equal Rights Amendment in 1972. Over the next decade, 35 states ratified it, three short of the 38 need-

ed to add it to the Constitution.

Conservative opposition and other factors halted its momentum. They have helped relegate the ERA to America’s political backburners ever since. Still, lawmakers from both parties regularly try to restart the process.

The proposed amendment states, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

Streep, who turned 66 Monday, is among numerous celebrities who say disparities between men’s and women’s average salaries are one reason the amendment remains relevant and needed.

“A whole new generation of women and girls are talking about equality equal pay, equal protection from sexual assault, equal rights,” Streep’s letter says.

Marvel, Sony cast new Spider-Man for next film in 2017 LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Spidey search is over.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures announced Tuesday that “The Impossible” star Tom Holland would be taking over the role of Peter Parker and the web-slinging superhero in the next Spider-Man film, set to hit the-

aters on July 28, 2017.

Jon Watts, who directed the indie thriller “Cop Car,” has been set to direct the still-untitled film Sony Pictures promises a new creative direction for this iteration of Spider-Man. Since 2002, there have been five films in the $4 billion

series, with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield previously in the title role.

Holland, a 19-year-old English actor, has also appeared in “Locke” and the TV series “Wolf Hall.”

He can be seen this December in Ron Howard’s “In the Heart of the Sea.”

Nickelback cancels tour, lead singer readies vocal surgery NEW YORK (AP) — Nickelback is canceling its summer tour as lead singer Chad Kroeger has been diagnosed with an operable cyst on his voice box.

The band posted a statement and a video on its website Tuesday about canceling the rest of its 2015 No Fixed Address North American Tour.

Kroeger will have surgery in three weeks and will have to rest after, the band wrote

in a statement. Ticket refunds will be available at the point of purchase.

Kroeger said he’s “definitely not thrilled with the prospect of being silent for many weeks to come when I could be out there playing for our fans.”

Nickelback plans to hit the road in Europe this fall. Their hits include “How You Remind Me” and “Photograph.”

Brady appeal hearing with NFL ends after more than 10 hours Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — After a 10-hour hearing, Tom Brady now must wait to find out if his appeal of a four-game suspension carried any weight with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Brady was suspended by the league for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game win over Indianapolis. He arrived at the NFL’s Park Avenue offices Tuesday morning, as did attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who is leading Brady’s defense.

It was growing dark when Goodell left the league headquarters after he heard Brady and representatives from the players’ union during the lengthy meeting. League security said Brady also had left.

No details of the hearing were immediately available.

“I think we put in a very compelling case,” Kessler said, adding that no timetable on a decision by Goodell had been given.

Kessler said he would have no further comments Tuesday night, and neither the union nor the league immediately commented.

This was the latest step in the protracted “Deflategate” scandal, and no decisions were expected Tuesday.

Indeed, it is uncertain how soon Goodell will announce anything; he could decide to keep the suspension as it is, reduce it or completely wipe it clean.

With training camps set to open in five weeks, the commissioner has some time to consider the evidence presented at the hearing. But the Patriots also can’t finalize training

New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady arrives for his appeal hearing at NFL headquarters in New York, Tuesday. camp practice plans for the quarterback position until they know Brady’s availability for the 2015 season.

Should Goodell keep the four-game ban — or even if he reduces it but doesn’t dismiss it totally — Brady could go to court. That could delay any solution for months.

On Tuesday, as Goodell was hearing a myriad of testimonies, Brady supporters were outside, some wearing “Free Brady” T-shirts. At least until the rains came, that is.

Some reporters joked that the meeting lasted so long because a summer storm was hitting the city and no one wanted to leave the building in such weather.

But just past 8:30 p.m.

EDT, the principles headed out.

Music mogul Diddy’s rep says star was only defending himself

The NFL Players Association had asked Goodell to recuse himself from hearing the appeal because he could not be impartial and might be called as a witness. But Goodell said it was his responsibility to oversee the hearing to protect the integrity of the league.

Based on the league-sanctioned Wells report, Brady was suspended and the Patriots were fined $1 million and docked a pair of draft picks.

Among the key elements of Brady’s appeal: who ordered his four-game suspension and whether science supports the league’s findings about deflated footballs.

The NFL says Goodell authorized the discipline that was imposed by

league executive Troy Vincent, who signed the letters sent to Brady and the Patriots informing them of the penalties. The NFLPA challenged Vincent’s power to issue punishment, citing Article 46 of the league’s collective bargaining agreement.

Goodell dismissed the union’s claim.

“I did not delegate my disciplinary authority to Mr. Vincent; I concurred in his recommendation and authorized him to communicate to Mr. Brady the discipline imposed under my authority as commissioner,” Goodell said in his letter to the union on June 2.

“The identity of the person who signed the disciplinary letter is irrelevant.”

Goddard’s Cole Wentland started the game on the mound for the Rockets in their game Sunday against Carlsbad.

Staff Report The Carlsbad baseball team blanked Goddard 11-0 on Sunday in the championship game of the Sunrise Optimist Baseball Tournament.

The Cavemen won the game by mercy rule after the Rockets had batted in the top of the fifth inning.

Both teams finished the tournament with 4-1 records, but Carlsbad won the championship based on the head-to-head result in bracket play. On Saturday, the Rockets defeated the Cavemen 9-6 in one of three Goddard victories that day.

In other games Sunday, Hobbs beat Roswell 10-7, Artesia beat Ruidoso 11-3 and Clovis beat Southeast 8-5. The Southeast team was comprised of play-

ers from several schools, including pitcher Dominic Lomeli of Dexter.

Roswell finished the tournament with a 1-4 record but earned sixth place ahead of Artesia (2-3) because Roswell had a higher seeding after pool play.

Other teams and their tournament records were No. 3 Clovis, 3-1-1; No. 4 Southeast, 2-2-1; No. 5 Hobbs, 3-2; and No. 8 Ruidoso, 0-5.

Four area players earned all-tournament team selections, Lomeli and Goddard’s Ethan Coombs, Luke Fink and Andrew Shanor.

Carlsbad had four players, Trevon Rogers, Josh Chavarria, Seth Olguin and Will Fiala, and Clovis had two, Daniel Gallegos and Austin Adams.

Corey Lathram was selected as the most recent Invader of Week after hurling a complete game victory in Roswell’s 6-3 win over the Las Cruces Vaqueros June 16 at Joe Bauman Stadium. Lathram has earned his way into the Invaders’ starting rotation after beginning in the bullpen.

“Corey is what you call a true team guy,” says Invaders manager Chris Treibt. “ He does everything we ask him and gets the job done in every role that he is given. On and off the field.”

NASCAR distances itself from Mistrial granted in Vandy football Confederate flag after massacre

players’ rape case

By Mark Long AP Sports Writer

Confederate flags are as easy to find at NASCAR races as cutoff jeans, cowboy hats and beer.

They fly over motorhomes. They adorn clothing. They are regular fixtures, just like Ford and Chevrolet, and that is unlikely to change any time soon.

NASCAR probably would like to see them go away.

The sanctioning body for the motorsports series backed South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s call to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds in the wake of the Charleston church massacre. NASCAR issued its statement Tuesday, the same day South Carolina lawmakers agreed to discuss removing the flag and one day after Haley said “the time has come” to take it down. And that is as far as NASCAR appears willing to go for now.

“As our industry works collectively to ensure that all fans are welcome at our races, NASCAR will continue our long-standing policy to disallow the use of the Confederate flag symbol in any official NASCAR capacity,” NASCAR said. “While NASCAR recognizes that freedom of expression is an inherent right of all citizens, we will continue to strive for an inclusive environment at our events.”

International Speedway Corp., NASCAR’S sister company that owns a majority of the tracks, echoed the sanctioning body’s response.

“We join NASCAR in support of South Carolina Gov-

“ISC strives to ensure all fans are welcome to enjoy our events and maintains an inclusive environment at our facilities nationwide. ISC will continue our long-standing practice to prohibit the sale of Confederate flag material on our property.”

Saunders declined a request by The Associated Press for further comment. Other tracks did not respond to requests for comment.

Nine people were slain last week at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, and Dylann Storm Roof, 21, is charged with murder. The white man appeared in photos holding Confederate flags and burning or desecrating

U.S. flags, and purportedly wrote of fomenting racial violence.

Big retailers like WalMart, Amazon, Sears, eBay and Etsy all said they would remove Confederate merchandise from their stores or websites and politicians across the South called for various steps to move away from the symbol that many associate with racism.

NASCAR has faced criticism over the years for various issues, often involving sponsors. A decade ago, there were questions when hard liquor companies emerged as potential sponsors for a sport built around fast cars and a series whose founding in 1948 gave ex-moonshiners a place to race. More recently, the National Rifle Association drew attention when it struck a sponsor-

with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery, according to a UCLA statement.

“We are confident that once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed,” Combs Enterprises said.

Officials did not say who was allegedly assaulted or what led to it. No one was seriously injured, police said.

The jail records show that Combs’ bail was $160,000, but sheriff’s officials reached by phone

said he posted $50,000.

The reason for the discrepancy wasn’t clear.

Combs’ son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been working out on campus. He has played in just a handful of games in his three years with the team.

The son of another major rap star also plays football for the Bruins. Snoop Dogg’s son Cordell Broadus is a wide receiver who signed with the team this year.

ship deal with Texas Motor Speedway not long after the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting in Connecticut.

Confederate flags have been flown by fans at NASCAR races for years.

For NASCAR’s Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, a two-and-a-half-hour drive north of Charleston, a Confederate flag theme was part of poster merchandise from the 1950s into the late ‘70s.

Tracks have long and detailed rules for fans, but none involving the content of flags. Although NASCAR has eliminated the use of Confederate flags in any official capacity, it could take things a step further and include language in sanctioning agreements that would ban them altogether at tracks.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A judge has granted a mistrial in the case of two former Vanderbilt football players convicted in the dorm-room rape of a student, saying “bias has been clearly shown.”

Criminal Court Judge Monte Watkins on Tuesday ruled in favor of defense attorneys who said a juror intentionally withheld information that he was a rape victim during the jury selection process.

Defense attorneys said the juror, 31-year-old Todd Easter, intentionally withheld information that he was a rape victim during the jury selection.

Easter testified at a hearing last week that he didn’t withhold information because he doesn’t consider himself a victim.

In his ruling, Watkins said “actual bias has been clearly shown.”

“Our system of justice cannot tolerate a trial with a tainted juror regardless of the strength of the evidence against the defendant,” Watkins said.

“The court finds that the proof and arguments presented at the hearing provides enough evidence that granting a new trial is necessary and appropriate in order to promote a fair determination of the defendants’ guilt or innocence.”

A Sumner County man was convicted of raping Easter when he was 16.

However, Easter testified that his relationship with the man was consensual and that his parents were the ones who pressed charges.

The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of alleged sexual crimes, but Easter, who was the jury foreman, agreed to have his name included in news stories.

Defense attorneys described Easter as “deceitful and manipulative,” and that he had an agenda.

They said that during the jury selection process Easter had a chance to discuss the rape case he was involved in but when asked whether he had been sexually assaulted, defense attorneys said Easter’s response was, “no one super close to me.”

They also noted comments Easter made to the media after the players were convicted, that part of his motivation for wanting to be foreman was so he could look the defendants in their eyes as the verdict was read.

Easter testified that wasn’t his motivation, but that he was simply trying to “give them the respect of a human being.”

Easter acknowledged that he had a sometimes abusive relationship with the man who was convicted of raping him. He said the two engaged in sexual activity more than 100 times, and that the man — who was seven years older than Easter — threatened to harm him when he broke off the four-month relationship.

Authorities said Easter went to his mother out of concern and she and her husband contacted authorities.

US won’t threaten to prosecute hostages’ families for ransom WASHINGTON (AP) — Softening longstanding policy, the Obama administration will tell families of Americans held by terror groups that they can communicate with captors and even pay ransom without fear of prosecution. The shift comes as part of a broad review of U.S. hostage guidelines that will be released Wednesday.

President Barack Obama ordered the review last fall after the deaths of Americans held hostage by the Islamic State. The families of some of those killed complained about their dealings with the administration, saying they were threatened with criminal prosecution if they pursued paying ransom in exchange for their loved ones’ release.

Two U.S. officials familiar with the review said

there will be no formal change to the law that explicitly makes it a crime to provide money or other material support to terror organizations, nor will Obama directly approve of families paying ransom.

However, the administration will make clear that the Justice Department has never prosecuted anyone for paying ransom and that that will continue to be the case.

The review is also expected to make clear that the U.S. government can help facilitate communications with terrorists on behalf of families seeking the release of hostages.

However, that assistance will still stop short of government ransoms or other concessions.

While the government has long turned a blind eye to family contacts with ter-

rorists, officials acknowledge that the unspoken policy has been applied unevenly. The inconsistencies have been magnified in recent months with the kidnappings and killings of Americans by terror groups.

Four Americans have been killed by the Islamic State since last summer: journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller. After the release of gruesome videos showing the beheadings of some hostages, Obama approved an airstrike campaign against the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria.

The families’ anguish has been deepened by the fact that European governments routinely pay ransom for hostages and win their release. The U.S. says

its prohibitions against the government and private individuals making any concessions to terrorist demands are aimed both at preventing more kidnappings and preventing more income for terror groups.

However, the Obama administration did negotiate with the Taliban last year to win the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was captured after walking away from this post in Afghanistan. Five Guantanamo Bay detainees were exchanged as a condition of his release.

White House officials say those negotiations were permissible because Obama sees a special responsibility to leave no American service member behind on the battlefield.

‘Eight is Enough’ star Van Patten dies NEW YORK (AP) — Dick Van Patten, the genial, roundfaced comic actor who premiered on Broadway as a child, starred on television in its infancy and then, in middle age, found lasting fame as the patriarch on TV’s “Eight is Enough,” has died.

Van Patten died Tuesday in Santa Monica, California, of complications from diabetes, said his publicist, Daniel Bernstein. He was 86.

Born in New York, the veteran entertainer began his career as a model and child actor, making his Broadway debut in 1935 at the age of seven, billed as “Dickie Van Patten.” He would go on to appear in 27 other Broadway plays, acting alongside such giants as Melvyn Douglas, Tallulah Bankhead and, for three years, as the son of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in “O Mistress Mine.”

In 1949, he began a seven-year run on one of TV’s earliest series, the CBS comedy “Mama,” playing one of the sons of a Norwegian-American family in early 1900s San Francisco.

Van Patten’s greatest TV success was as Tom Bradford, a widower and father of eight who met and married Abby (played by Betty BuckThe Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might want to get past others’ attitudes.

Van Patten was a serious poker player and a commentator for the World Poker Tour. It was a natural offshoot for him as an actor trading on what he called the “bluff factor — as an actor, you thrive on that, to defy the odds,” he said in a 2007 interview.

An animal enthusiast, he co-founded Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance Pet Foods in 1989 as well as founding National Guide Dog Month, which began in 2008 to raise awareness and money for nonprofit guide dog schools in the United States.

He is survived by his three actor sons — Nels, Jimmy and Vincent — as well as Patricia Van Patten, his wife of 62 years (and a former June Taylor Dancer) whom he first met, and fell for, at age 14 when seated next to her in class at their professional children’s school.

Senate approves new VA chief

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Veterans Affairs has a new leader of its troubled health care arm.

Dr. David Shulkin, president of the Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey, won approval as the VA’s undersecretary for health by a voice vote Tuesday in the Senate.

Shulkin steps into a key role managing a health-care system responsible for 9 million military veterans in nearly 1,000 VA hospitals and clinics nationwide. The VA was rocked by scandal last year over long waits for veterans seeking medical care at the Phoenix VA hospital and other sites and falsified records to cover up the delays.

President Barack Obama nominated Shulkin in March to head the Veterans Health Administration, the VA’s health care arm.

Sen. Johnny Isakson,

R-Ga., chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said Shulkin faces several serious ongoing issues, particularly the implementation of the Veterans Choice Act, a law approved by Congress last year to overhaul the VA in the wake of the Phoenix scandal.

The law authorized $16 billion in new spending over three years, mostly for private care outside the VA, and made it easier to fire poor performing VA executives. The law authorized billions to hire more doctors, nurses and other medical and mental health professionals for VA hospitals and clinics.

Roswell Daily Record

US court upholds tough rules Jackson, Mississippi has the regarding for-profit college loans fastest rising rents in the US access to federal money.

The Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, a trade group representing 1,400 for-profit colleges, sued to stop the rules from taking effect on July 1. APSCU argued that the regulations were at odds with existing law, and that the administration had arbitrarily and unfairly devised them as a way to rein in for-profit colleges.

In his opinion, U.S. District Judge John Bates dismissed the industry group’s argument entirely, ruling that each piece of the regulation should remain intact.

“Of course, the association might not agree with the department’s explanations,” he wrote at one point in the 37-page ruling.

“But that alone does not make them irrational, arbitrary, or capricious.”

APSCU General Counsel Sally Stroup said in a statement the trade group is disappointed in the court decision and considering its options.

“Indeed, as numerous commentators have observed, the primary impact of the regulation will be to deprive hundreds of thousands of students of access to higher education,” Stroup wrote. “That is inconsistent with the congressional plan under the Higher Education Act, unlawful and bad policy.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court has ruled in favor of tough new regulations aimed at career training programs, dealing a major blow to the for-profit college industry.

In an opinion released Tuesday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled the Education Department has the right to demand that schools show their graduates make enough money to repay their student loans. The Education Department announced its plan last fall as a way of weeding out fraudulent colleges that were targeting low-income students because of their ability to receive federal student loans, grants and military benefits.

Under the new rules, which go into effect July 1, a program has to show that the estimated annual loan payment of a typical graduate does not exceed 20 percent of his or her discretionary income or 8 percent of total earnings.

The administration said about 99 percent of the training programs that will be affected come from the for-profit sector, although affected career training programs can come from certificate programs elsewhere in higher education.

Programs that don’t pass the new “gainful employment” standards risk losing

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the ruling a “win” for students and taxpayers, and urged lawmakers to stop fighting against the regulations.

“Every student who enrolls in college of any kind deserves a fair shot at a degree or credential that equips them for success,” he said in a statement.

“We’ll continue to fight until that’s a reality.”

The for-profit industry has among the highest student loan default rates and lowest graduation rates in higher education, and now the government is looking at footing the bill in what has become a major consumer bailout. Earlier this month, Duncan said the government would make it easier for students who attended the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges to erase their debt.

About $3.6 billion in federal loans has been given to these students since 2010.

That potentially puts the taxpayer on the hook for that amount, although officials say it’s unlikely that every loan will qualify for relief.

The latest rule was the administration’s second attempt at ensuring student loans go to programs that help people find jobs.

The first rule was blocked by a judge in 2012 that said the regulations were too arbitrary.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Home rental prices are climbing across much of the United States — with the biggest gains coming from not from New York or San Francisco but Jackson, Mississippi, and Portland, Maine.

Real estate data firm Zillow said Tuesday that prices nationally climbed a seasonally adjusted 4.3 percent in May from a year ago. Rents still are rising at double-digit rates in Denver, San Francisco and San Jose, California, with their job opportunities drawing new residents at a faster pace than construction can match.

But two smaller cities led the gains in May. Houses in the Mississippi capital of Jackson are renting monthly for $1,169, a 22.7 percent yearly increase. On the northeastern end of the United States, rental pric-

es in Portland, Maine have shot up 17.4 percent.

The steadily rising costs of renting houses and apartments are creating new financial pressures for many Americans. Rental prices have grown at roughly double the rate of wages, forcing more Americans to limit their spending elsewhere or cutting into their savings.

A stunning 73 percent of renters say they have made financial trade-offs to pay their rents during the past three years, including taking a second job and going into credit-card debt, according to a survey released this month by the MacArthur Foundation.

The greater financial pressures have led 61 percent of Americans to say the country is still in the middle of the housing crisis, according to the survey.

Consumers are pessimistic about housing despite a clear rebound in sales. Home purchases increased 5.1 percent in May to annual rate of 5.35 million, putting the country on pace for the strongest sales level since 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors.

But the rising rental prices are limiting how much many would-be buyers can save to buy a home, particularly in cities with a higher concentration of jobs in technology and finance. Monthly rental prices for a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan averaged $3,521 last month, according to the real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman.

Still, some cities have a glut of rental units available. Zillow found that rental prices fell slightly in Chicago, New Orleans and Milwaukee.

House votes to kill health law’s Medicare savings panel WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Tuesday to kill a federal panel that is supposed to find ways to curb Medicare spending, as Republicans ignored a veto threat and leveled their latest blow at President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Members of the Independent Payment Advisory Board have never been appointed, and the panel has never recommended savings from Medicare, the $600-billion-a-year health care program for the elderly.

Republicans have long targeted the board anyway,

saying it would ration care and has too much power.

When the health care law began working its way through Congress in 2009, defeated GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said the law would create “death panels” that could decide the care seniors would receive.

Democrats argue that the statute specifically forbids the board from rationing care, increasing recipients’ premiums or reducing their coverage. That means its recommendations would fall largely on providers, such as doctors and nursing homes.

The White House has threatened to veto the bill, saying repeal would eliminate a way to “help reduce the rate of Medicare growth responsibly.”

Tuesday’s vote was a mostly party-line 244-154.

The Senate has yet to consider similar legislation.

Most Democrats consider the Republican repeal effort an attempt to weaken the health care law.

Some Democrats agree that the board is too powerful, since its recommended savings automatically take effect unless Congress votes to change or block them.

Vashti Cunningham Vashti Cunningham spends a lot of time off the ground and in the air. The 17-year-old junior is a two-sport athlete at Bishop Gorman High School near Las Vegas, Nevada, where she plays volleyball and is a member of the track and field team as a high jumper. While Vashti loves playing volleyball, she admits the high jump could be her calling.

This spring at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California, Vashti set a new girls prep high school record with a jump of 6 feet, 4 1/2 inches. It was also the highest jump in the United States at the time, and the third-best jump in the entire world. Vashti’s accomplishment earned her an athlete of the week honor from USA Track & Field.

Vashti, the daughter of former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham, will now compete at the junior nationals this summer, before setting her sights on the U.S. Olympic Trials next summer.

The National Marbles Tournament recognized its first champion in 1922. At that time, newspapers around the country held local contests and sponsored winners to compete in the national event.

Today, school districts, local parks and recreation organizations, Boy and Girl Scout troops, marble clubs and city governments all contribute to local competitions that produce marble shooters for the national tournament.

Hilary Grist is a singer, songwriter, writer and artist. Her latest CD/book combination is “Tomorrow Is a Chance to Start Over.” It is a mixture of a spoken story and songs. The art she created to go with it mixes clay figures, handmade sets and photography.

Hilary grew up in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. She began composing music at the piano when she was in preschool. When she was a kid, she took piano lessons and sang in her high school choir. In college, she studied jazz.

She has written music for many TV shows in Canada and the United States.

Marbles players need to have good hand-eye coordination. They need to be willing to practice to develop strategy for the game and special skills, such as backspin on the marble. Competitors at the national tournament are encouraged to be good sports and meet a lot of new friends.

Funny’s

Marble champions Contestants at the National Marbles Tournament have to be between 7 and 14 years old.

The competition begins with a round-robin event where each boy plays each other boy, and each girl plays each other girl. Players are ranked by how many games they win.

The next level of the tournament is matches between the top eight boys and top eight girls.

In the semi-finals, four boys play each other, as do four girls.

The winners of that level play each other to become the king and queen.

Are You a Champion?

Have you ever watched a glass blower create a colorful bowl or vase?

Marbles are made in much the same way.

Marbles can be handmade or manufactured in a factory. The ones with more intricate patterns are usually handmade.

Glass is heated until it is soft. The glass is formed into rods, which can then be combined and heated to form a pattern. The long pieces are cut into shorter segments, then rolled into spheres. An artist might add many layers of glass to make a fancy pattern.

In the factory, long streams of molten glass are cut into lumps. The lumps then spin between two steel rollers, becoming round as they cool.

The machines discard, or throw out, the marbles that are not the right size or shape. That glass gets recycled into new marbles.

Players use their own taw, or shooting marble, to try to hit the other marbles. Tournament rules say that a shooter can’t be bigger than 3/4 inch in diameter. Target marbles can’t be bigger than 5/8 inch in diameter. Contest officials use a marble gauge, or measuring device, to check the size of the marbles before competiton begins.

The marble ring at the National Marbles Tournament is 10 feet in diameter. At the center of the ring, 13 marbles are placed in the shape of a cross, three inches apart from each other.

Two players compete against each other. The first player shoots from anywhere outside the ring.

10 feet diameter The player tries to hit as many of the 13 marbles beyond the edge of the ring as possible without letting his shooter marble go outside the ring.

As long as the first player keeps hitting other marbles out of the ring, he or she keeps shooting.

The first player to hit seven marbles out of the ring wins the Have you ever played marbles? With match. your parents’ permission, search on A player gets a stick if seven the Internet for marbles clubs or marbles are hit out on the first turn.

B6 Wednesday, June 24, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: Six months ago, my best friend’s fiance raped me. He is a man I’ve known for many years, and I didn’t see it coming. I became pregnant but had a miscarriage two months later.

I recently had to have a hysterectomy from damage incurred from the rape and the miscarriage.

I never went to the police or pressed charges, and very few people are aware of the whole horrific experience. I have been beyond traumatized by what happened.

My best friend knows noth-

Comics ing about it, and I have been unable to face her since that awful night. We text now and then, and she keeps asking why I have suddenly dropped out of her life. I don’t know if I can tell her the truth. We were as close as sisters, and I honestly miss her like crazy, but I can’t be part of her life if this monster is in it.

Do I tell the truth? Or do I just shut her out of my life? This has taken a physical and emotional toll on me. Please give me some advice.

MISSING A FRIEND IN CANADA DEAR MISSING: Gladly. Find the nearest rape and sexual assault treatment center in your province and make an appointment immediately! You need more help than anyone can give you in a letter, and the people there can counsel you not only on what to do, but also what your options are at this point.

Your friend should absolutely be informed about what she’s getting into if she marries your

rapist, but I do not recommend that you tell her until you have strong emotional support beside you.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: Our married son and two young children live in Kurdistan, Iraq. They are volunteering for a charity that helps Syrian refugees. While we admire their noble efforts, we struggle with the daily sacrifices this brings to our whole family.

We work full time and could save up to visit them, but because we are not comfortable with their choice to live in this dangerous part of the world, we continue to refuse their invitation. What do you advise? Are we being self-centered?

SO FAR AWAY DEAR SO FAR AWAY: No, you are being rational and self-protective. Not only do I not think you are self-centered, I’m suggesting you keep them in your prayers and use Skype or

Roswell Daily Record

video chatting to stay in contact.

DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend invited me to a sex toy party. The saleswoman hosting the event is a distant acquaintance.

What is the most polite way to ask her if she has informed her family of her profession? Is it OK to attend if she hasn’t told her relatives she sells sex products? If I refuse her invitation, would it be polite to enclose an order for some of her products?

I prefer to buy from a reputable saleswoman rather than some anonymous website.

AWKWARD IN ILLINOIS DEAR AWKWARD: I don’t think it would be appropriate to ask your hostess whether she has informed her family about her career, although I suspect she has made them aware of it. And if you prefer to decline the invitation, I’m sure enclosing an order for her products would be fine with her — and possibly the start of an ongoing business relationship.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: I would like to know how safe it is to eat spinach from the bag.

We get organic baby spinach that is TRIPLE-WASHED. My daughter says it is already washed, so we do not have to wash it. I disagree. Please clear this up.

Sheela M. in Texas Oh, I don’t want to get between a mother and daughter over spinach! However, most food-safety experts agree that if the bag says “triple washed, ready to eat, and no need for washing,” then you should be safe, all things considered.

Triple “washed” means it also goes through a chlorine-and-water rinse, too. This rinse kills somewhere between 90-99 percent of bacteria, which probably is a higher kill rate than you would get at home. Don’t most of us just “rinse” under water? How long? Probably not long enough to really get rid of many germs.

That said, as they say, if you want to “rinse,” then do so if it makes you feel better.

Heloise P.S.: I don’t.

Dilbert

For Better or For Worse

HHHHH Dear Heloise: I’ve used a salt-free steak seasoning that is no longer available locally. I can get it from the manufacturer if I buy four bottles at a price higher than the grocery store’s and pay shipping and handling. Do you have a recipe I could make at home?

Pat S., Fort Wayne, Ind. Sure do! HELOISE’S SALT SUBSTITUTE recipe is just what you are looking for. Here it is: 5 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon thyme 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (black, if preferred) 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, then store in an old spice jar, labeled, with all your other spices. For more seasoning recipes (and sauces), order one of my Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlets.

Go online to www.Heloise.com, or send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Seasonings, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. This original Heloise recipe is one of the most asked for, so please keep a copy of this column.

Snuffy Smith

Dear Heloise: I read your column daily in the Orange County (Calif.) Register. I use a strawberry huller to remove the stems from strawberries. It also removes the stem from tomatoes without having to cut off the end piece. This also removes some of the bitter white part of the tomato.

Mnelson, via email HHHHH Dear Heloise: Because of the cost of buying sliced olives, I buy whole, pitted olives and slice them myself.

What a slow job! Then I had a light bulb go off: Why not try my egg slicer? Worked like a gem!

Perhaps the slices were not as perfect as the canned form, but they were much less expensive!
