Miss New Mexico readies for trip to Atlantic City Jessica Burson to compete in Miss America Pageant

BY RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Jessica Burson says she is on a jour ney — and right now, that journey is taking her to Atlantic City.

Burson, who won the Miss New Mexico Pageant on June 28 in Ruidoso, was back home in Roswell for the UFO Festival, where she was serving as grand marshal for the UFO Festival Parade.

Her journey started as Miss Roswell in February, and now as Miss New Mexico, Burson is going to be one of 50 young women vying for the title of Miss America in September in New Jersey.

“I would like to thank God for allowing me to

have this incredible opportunity,” Burson said Wednesday. “I also want to thank the community of Roswell, the support and love I have felt have been awesome.”

Burson, 20, is the daughter of Cody and Cheri Burson and she is a native of Roswell. She graduated from Goddard High School in 2012, where she was active in FFA and was a cheerleader.

Burson said her brother Cole is her biggest cheerleader. “He is just wonderful, he is always right there for me.”

She was selected to be Miss Roswell in February, but there was no pageant.

The Miss New Mexico Pag-

eant was her first experience in a pageant, and she said there wasn’t a lot of difference between being in a pageant and her previous area of expertise — showing livestock.

“Well, it was a little different,” she said, laughing.

“But it takes the same sort of attitude.”

“I was raised in 4-H and FFA couldn’t do as well as I have done without what I learned in FFA,” Burson said. “Showing livestock and participating in the FFA taught me morals and values.”

The amazing thing about the Miss New Mexico Pageant was how wonderful all the other young women in the pageant were to work with, Burson

Jerry Heck is the latest addition to the writing staff at the Roswell Daily Record. He has lived in Roswell for more than 10 years as an active member of the community.

Heck is a member of the American Legion Post 28, the Roswell Gun Club, Roswell Sertoma Club and the Military Officers Association of the Pecos Valley.

Heck moved to Roswell in 2003 to accept a position as a contract assistant professor of military science in New Mexico Military Institute’s ROTC Department. During his tenure at NMMI, Heck collaborated with the drama and Arabic professors to form a troupe of authentically costumed role players to add realism to ROTC training exercises. He also completed three classes in Arabic.

A few weeks following his arrival to Roswell, he received orders that he was going to Korea for a three-week mission, and while in Korea word came, “Don’t unpack because your going to Iraq.”

Iraq was not his first nor would it be his last deployment. He accrued 41 months of duty in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. While on deployments, Heck worked at various government levels in Iraq and Afghanistan to help establish transparency in government. Heck was responsible for collecting data and conducting briefings at the Counter -Insurgency Center for Excellence near Baghdad.

He also mentored Iraqi business and civic leaders in economic development as an alternative to terrorism. Heck was active in overseeing expenditures at adult vocational training cen-

Heck has 28 years of service as a citizen/solider in the National Guard and Army Reserve. Enlisting as a private, he currently holds the rank of lieutenant colonel. His awards include the Combat Action Badge, Parachutist’s Badge, Global War on Terror Service and Expeditionary Medals, the Afghanistan Service Medal with Campaign Star and the Iraq Service Medal with Two Campaign Stars.

Concurrent to cadet training and between deployments, Heck has been a residential property investor. In eight years, he has acquired six single-family houses that he maintains, renovates, rents and resells.

Before moving to Roswell, Heck was working for a plumbing contractor that specializes in renovations of Palm Beach estate homes.

Additionally, he worked with youthful offenders and was a science teacher.

Heck received his bachelor’s degree in secondary education from California (Pennsylvania) State College in 1981. He and his wife, Betty Ann, have two daughters: Maggie 16, a junior at Goddard High School, and Kate, 25, a Goddard and New Mexico State University graduate who resides in Pensacola, Fla.

Democrat top fundraiser in AG race

SANTA FE (AP) — Democrat Hector Balderas holds a big edge in campaign cash in the race for attorney general, according to the latest fundraising disclosures.

Balderas, a two-term state auditor, reported a balance of $787,046 in his campaign account as of last week.

Republican Susan Riedel, a former prosecutor, had cash-on-hand of $94,382.

Balderas collected $131,329 in contributions in the past month compared with $59,266 by Riedel.

Candidates and political committees filed campaign finance reports Thursday showing fundraising from May 28 through June 28.

Balderas and Riedel ran unopposed in the June 3 primary election.

Riedel was chief deputy district attorney when Gov. Susana Martinez served as district attorney in Dona Ana County. She later became a district judge but lost her election bid in

Roswell Daily Record

2012.

Top contributors to Balderas included a political committee of the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association and Ruidoso Horse Sales Inc. Both gave $10,400 — the maximum under state law for the primary and general elections. Contributing $10,000 was Albuquerque developer Paul Blanchard, a part owner of the Downs at Albuquerque racetrack and casino.

Riedel received $5,200 from Martinez’s political action committee, Susana PAC, Roswell auto dealer Thomas Krumland and Strategic Property Group, a Hobbs real estate company affiliated with former GOP state party chairman Monty Newman.

Riedel also loaned her campaign $1,956.

Riedel spent $23,393 compared with $2,441 by Balderas.

Following are fundraising summaries for other offices: —Secretary of State: Incumbent

Republican Dianna Duran reported a campaign balance of $111,060. Democratic challenger Maggie Toulouse Oliver had $123,878. Duran raised $15,150, and Oliver collected $31,541. Duran received $2,700 from the governor’s PAC and $10,200 from two oil companies owned by members of the Yates family in southeastern New Mexico. Oliver received $5,200 from labor unions. Duran spent $10,151, while Oliver’s expenditures were $14,532.

—Lieutenant governor: Republican incumbent John Sanchez had cashon-hand of $126,248. Democrat Debra Haaland had $4,719. Sanchez raised $2,570 and spent $7,426. Haaland collected $11,218 and spent $14,158. Occidental Petroleum contributed $1,000 to Sanchez. Haaland received $1,480 from Albuquerque retiree James Collie. The candidates are the running mates of their party’s gubernatorial nominees.

Lotto chief seeks change in funding scholarships

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The head of New Mexico’s lottery system wants the state Legislature to cut the 30 percent minimum it is required to provide in revenues to the college scholarship program, noting such a move could increase lottery sales and create an even larger revenue stream for the program.

However, the director of a Santa-Fe based think tank, whose 2006 study led state lawmakers to set the 30 percent minimum, said the move would only put more money in the pockets of lottery vendors and adminis-

trators and won’t enrich the scholarship program with additional funds, the Albuquerque Jour nal reported Saturday.

The Legislative Lottery Scholarship program provides tuition money for students at state-funded institutions.

The 30 percent mandate prevents the lottery from offering higher payouts on its instant-win scratcher tickets, lottery CEO David Barden said. Higher payouts would attract more players and increase sales, he said.

But Fred Nathan,

founder and executive director of Think New Mexico, noted that of the 12 states that mandated minimum contributions from their lottery systems in 2007, including New Mexico, only North Carolina and California have eliminated the benchmarks.

Since then, “the percentage of revenues delivered to beneficiaries in California has fallen from 34 percent in 2010 to 28 percent in 2013,” Nathan said.

“The proponents of this change point out that it resulted in more absolute dollars going to beneficiar-

FORMER UNION PACIFIC CONTRACTOR COULD FACE FINES

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A former contractor on a $400 million Union Pacific railroad hub in Santa Teresa along the state’s southern border with Mexico has been accused of bidding for the job without a legal New Mexico license.

Potential fines levied against the company, Ames Sundt JV, could reach into the millions of dollars, the Albuquerque Journal reported Saturday.

The state Construction Industries

Division began an investigation into the company about two years ago.

For mal complaints were filed in March, the newspaper reported.

The Union Pacific facility opened in April.

Closed-door mediation over the complaints lodged against Ames Sundt JV begin Tuesday in Albuquerque with the state Construction Industries Commission and the Attorney General’s Office.

The case involves a contract

ies, which is true,” he said.

“But only 20 percent of the increase went to beneficiaries, with the remaining 80 percent going to prizes and overhead.”

He noted that part of that increased overheard could go to Barden, who earns an annual salary of $145,000 but stands to make thousands more in bonuses if sales increase.

The New Mexico lottery system has raised more than $610 million for education, helping pay for the scholarships of more than 90,000 students, lottery officials said.

amount of about $178 million, Attorney General spokesman Phil Sisneros said. State law allows for fines equal to about 10 percent of the value of the contract, he said.

Attorneys for the contractors — Ames Sundt JV is a joint venture between Minnesota-based Ames Construction and Arizona-based Sundt Construction — declined to discuss the case, citing the pending legal matters.

Senate majority could rest on the sage grouse

Roswell Daily Record

DENVER (AP) — An obscure, chicken-sized bird best known for its mating dance could help determine whether Democrats or Republicans control the U.S. Senate in November.

The federal government is considering listing the greater sage grouse as an endangered species next year. Doing so could limit development, energy exploration, hunting and ranching on the 165 million acres of the bird’s habitat

Oropesa said he would like to see the city do a better job advertising available board and commission positions.

across 11 Western states.

Apart from the potential economic disruption, which some officials in Western states discuss in tones usually reserved for natural disasters, the specter of the bird’s listing is reviving the centuriesold debates about local vs. federal control and whether to develop or conserve the region’s vast expanses of land.

“It kind of depends on which board you’re talking about,” Kintigh said.

and Colorado, Steve Daines and Cory Gardner, are co-sponsoring legislation that would prevent the federal government from listing the bird for a decade as long as states try to protect it.

“It was truly a remarkable experience, I really feel as though I have been blessed,” she said.

For the time being, Burson will continue studying at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell as she prepares for her competition in the Miss American Pageant.

“I will have a new talent; tomorrow, I am taking my first singing lesson,” Burson said on July 2. In the Miss New Mexico Pageant, Burson’s talent was jazz dancing.

“I have an old hip injury, and I wanted to have a talent that I don’t have to worry about being injured.

Besides, I will be dancing every day in high heels during the Miss America Pageant,” she said.

A woman may compete at the state level more than once, but may only compete in the national Miss America competition one time, according to the official Miss America Pageant website.

“Thousands of women participate each year in the local and state events, culminating in the selection of

tors being challenged, John Walsh in Montana and Mark Udall in Colorado, oppose the idea.

They say they don’t want a listing, either, but that the threat of one is needed to push states to protect the bird.

“A bill like what some in the House are proposing that would delay listing the bird would actually undermine locally driven efforts,” said Udall spokesman Mike Saccone.

53 national finalists who vie for the Miss America title,” according to the website.

“It really hit me when I Googled myself and saw that I was on the Miss America website,” Burson said. “Up to that point, it was all kind of unreal!”

A big part of being Miss America is charity work and helping children, which is Burson’s passion.

She has been all over southeast New Mexico in her first few days as Miss New Mexico, and a tour of the state with Gov. Susana Martinez was planned for the second week of her reign.

The Miss New Mexico Pageant was not broadcast on television, but as soon as the after party was over, Burson and her mother had to drive to Albuquerque so she could be on the Sunday morning local news programs.

“Luckily, my mom was with me; I got to sleep on the way up there.” The Miss New Mexico Pageant didn’t end until nearly midnight, she said.

Each new Miss America becomes the goodwill ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, speaking on behalf of kids treated at children’s hospi-

tals and raising awareness around the country.

“The Miss America Organization has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network to raise funds and awareness for children’s hospitals throughout the United States,” she said.

“Miss America travels about 100,000 miles a month,” Burson said, which would mean if she wins in September, her college education may be put on hold while she serves as Miss America.

As Miss New Mexico, Burson will also be busy traveling the state and promoting the Healthy Kids New Mexico program. She was already involved in the Healthy Kids Chaves County program before becoming Miss New Mexico, and she intends to continue to build on her platfor m, “Healthy Bodies, Happy Hearts.”

Healthy Kids New Mexico is a project of the New Mexico Department of Health and state and local partners that creates healthy environments and programs to give kids what they need to play well, eat well, learn well, and live healthy and full lives, according the website, nmhealth.org.

“I cannot wait to work

towards my goal of becoming Miss America and being a voice for children.

‘Healthy Bodies, Happy Hearts’ will be able to touch lives across the state as I travel and advocate for healthy lifestyles,” Burson said.

On Sept. 2, she heads to Atlantic City to participate in the Miss America Pageant, which culminates in the final evening’s competition and crowning on Sept.

14. The pageant will be aired on the ABC network.

“I absolutely love New Mexico and I am honored to represent the ‘Land of Enchantment,” she said. “I am so grateful to be able to represent my home in the Miss America Pageant.”

Regardless of whether or not she is named Miss America in September, Burson says she is blessed to be on this journey, and she feels God has a plan for her and her life.

“Whatever happens, I feel I have more than fulfilled my goals, just being Miss Roswell and then to be Miss New Mexico, that is so wonderful,” she said. “And now I will get to work with Healthy Kids all across the state. I just couldn’t ask for more.”

America’s DNA: The Federalist Papers A4 Sunday, July 6, 2014

There are many ways to lose freedom — conquering armies, surrendering without a fight. Unfortunately, we are currently surrendering our freedom, not to a foreign power, but to our own government.

The growth, reach, and cost of big government is happening before our eyes and eroding our liberty, largely because too many Americans are not familiar with the brilliant system of government our Founders established.

Progressives prefer a “living Constitution,” which is constantly changing to conform to their ideology. What it is not, is the Constitution established by the Founders.

In a comprehensive publication, “The Roots of Liberty: Unlocking the Federalist Papers,” edited by Scott D. Cosenza and Claire M. Griffin, it attempts to remind us of the Founders’ intent and why their vision, if not renewed by each generation, will quickly fade, America along with it.

OPINION

CAL THOMAS

SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

Tim Donner, president of “One Generation Away,” which, according to its website, is “committed to restoring, strengthening and preserving the vision of a free America by applying our founding principles to the issues of today,” (and on whose board I serve as an unpaid member), published the book through its Cornerstone Project, says “Roots” has “so far been welcomed by public and private schools in six states.”

For those of a certain age, “The Roots of Liberty” will remind us of our high school civics classes, but as government continues to expand

Roswell Daily Record

and President Obama increasingly ignores the boundaries placed on the executive branch, it will serve as a needed reminder of what makes America unique in the world and how it can be quickly destroyed if sufficient attention is not paid to our founding principles.

What should attract young people to “The Roots of Liberty” is that the editors have updated the 18thcentury language, using instead paraphrases and modern words that will resonate in contemporary ears without harming its original meaning.

Here’s one example: “(James) Madison supported dividing the national government in a way such that each branch in and of itself would be a type of safeguard against tyranny. Because each branch of government was simultaneously separate and interdependent, it had to work together with the other branches in order to

achieve the goals of the national government.”

And Madison’s words: “To what expedient then shall we finally resort for maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the Constitution? The only answer that can be given is, that as all these exterior provisions are found to be inadequate, the defect must be supplied, by so contriving the interior structure of the government, as that its several constituent parts may, by their mutual relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places.”

The book then succinctly lists the powers each branch of government is given in order that each branch might be a check on the other.

Ruling by fiat, as President Obama seems to be doing, like vowing to accomplish immigration reform on his own, even in the face

of multiple setbacks by the “checking” Supreme Court, is in violation of the Constitution, as one can read in this analysis of “The Federalist Papers,” the philosophical foundation of our constitutional government. Call it America’s DNA. In the chapter “The Powers Delegated to the Federal Government Are Few and Defined,” discussing “the doctrine of enumerated powers,” the writers say: “By virtue of the doctrine, the Constitution of the United States establishes a government of delegated, enumerated and thus limited powers.”

Does this resemble our present government?

“The Roots of Liberty” will remind Americans of where our country came from and where it is headed if we don’t embrace the brilliance of those who bequeathed it to us.

Pentagon’s worst-case plan threatens America’s defense

Imagine our local economy losing 16,000 soldiers practically overnight, followed by a drop of 40,000 in the region’s population as civilian employees associated with Fort Carson lose their jobs. Housing values would plummet. Unemployment would rise. The tax base would shrink. Businesses would fail, and the state’s economy would suffer. The Pikes Peak region would lose $1 billion annually. Moreover, Colorado could lose the military’s ready assistance with disaster mitigation, recovery, and emergency backup to law enforcement during times of big trouble.

It’s a worst-case scenario, put forward by the Pentagon on Thursday. Reductions of 16,000 soldiers at each of the country’s nine largest bases could be part of an austerity proposal to cut Pentagon spending by $900 billion over a decade.

The report means Colorado’s congressional delegation needs to make our state’s national defense resources the highest priority. It means the Legislature and governor need to do everything imaginable to make Colorado the finest military host in the country. And it means Congress should defend our military, with a mighty push coming from Colorado’s two senators and seven representatives.

This is not a left vs. right, Republican vs.

Democrat issue. Without a strong national defense, our country cannot remain free for future generations. An effective deterrent to widespread aggressions, a strong national defense allows the nation and world to focus on ensuring prosperity for more people. Never has our world been more abundant with food and other resources people need to live.

Worldwide, the poverty rate has plummeted for 20 years. It’s partly because of advancements in the military might of civilized nations, most notably the United States.

Colorado Senate President Morgan Carroll, a Democrat, understands the enormity of losing military installations and/or personnel.

Moments after meeting with The Gazette’s editorial board about the issue last spring, she contacted House Minority Leader Bill Cadman so the two could brainstorm a bipartisan bill to begin addressing the concern.

Carroll and Cadman quickly introduced and passed Senate Bill 157, known as the Base Realignment and Closure Study, and a companion House bill. It commissions a comprehensive report by the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to examine the strategic and economic advantages of military missions in Colorado.

It’s a great start and we thank Reps. Carroll and Cadman for taking such swift action. But we need to do more. Politicians at the city, county, state and federal levels need to make sure they provide the best environment possible for our country’s armed forces. It means enforcing drug laws and saying “no” to recreational marijuana, showing concern for the military’s difficult task of keeping young enlistees and officers off drugs. It means cooperating when command staff need the city’s assistance with water, energy and transportation needs. It means working with business to help transition soldiers into the workforce with training and medical needs. And it means maintaining constant communication and asking military leaders how we can accommodate them better. We must treat military leadership with no less of a hospitable, service-oriented attitude than we extend to corporate CEOs looking to relocate operations and employees to Colorado.

Ideally, the federal government will avoid draconian cuts to the military establishment that protects our way of life. The very existence of America’s armed forces keeps other regions of the world more peaceful.

With or without the worst-case scenario we learned of Thursday, we need to improve our game and make Colorado the most supportive, military-friendly state in the country. It’s time to take our game to the next level.

REPRINTED FROM THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZZETTE

Be sure not to fall for ‘Crapitalism!’

There’s capitalism, and then there’s “crapitalism” — crony capitalism.

Capitalism is great because it lets entrepreneurs raise money so they can scale up and get their products and services to more people. If there is free competition, innovators with the best ideas raise the most money, and the best and cheapest products spread far and wide.

But it’s crapitalism when politicians give your tax money and other special privileges to businesses that are “most deserving of help.” Often those businesses turn out to be run by politicians’ cronies.

Many government agencies feed this crony capitalism.

When there is scandal, such as

JOHN

STOSSEL SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

when the Energy Department lost $500 million on Solyndra, we hear about it. But often we don’t. You probably didn’t know about the department’s other fat losses on businesses like Solar One, the T riad ethanol plant, FutureGen, the Clinch River Breeder Reactor and so on.

Even the Small Business Administration is an embarrassment. They loaned $1 mil-

lion to a Lamborghini dealership and $3 million to a Rolex dealer. Is this where your tax money should go? Voters assume government handouts go to people who need help.

But they usually don’t. Most government handouts go to the middle class and the rich.

Government has no business handing out loan guarantees to companies. Corporations can pay their own way.

The Agriculture Department’s Market Access Program gives millions of dollars to affluent groups like the Pet Food Institute, the Wine Institute, Sunkist and Welch Foods. In return, politicians get campaign contributions. It’s disgusting crapitalism.

The biggest funder of this

crony capitalism is the ExportImport Bank. The bank says its “financial products enable exporters of all sizes to ... protect against the risks of international trade and export with confidence.”

That sounds good, and it’s why most politicians support it. But for the first time in my memory, there is pushback.

Many Republicans want to stop this corporate welfare.

The chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services, Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, points out that most of the government’s export loans go to “Fortune 500 companies like G.E., like Boeing, who could easily finance these things

ease itself, particularly if it was left untreated? The geriatrician didn’t urge any particular course of action; she helped the patient understand the issues.

When he had answered all the questions, the patient decided to forgo treatment. He was feeling well enough to travel, and there were a few places he really wanted to see.

If he were to undergo treatment, he would have to remain in town for several months. He also traded off the side ef fects of treatment against the extra months of life he might get from treatment.

Geriatricians are also alert to the potential har mful effects of medications. Older adults often have numerous health problems that require multiple medications, and the more medications a person takes, the higher the risk of drug interactions.

In addition, older adults are more vulnerable to side effects from medications. Their bodies process drugs differently than younger people’s bodies

do. Doctors not as well versed in caring for older patients are more likely to mistake medication effects for dementia or depression.

Finally, geriatricians are more likely to recommend an occupational therapist, who can help with simple changes that make it easier and safer for older people to accomplish everyday activities such as cooking or cleaning. Geriatricians also understand how to muster home health services.

There are ways to help your mother stay in her home for more time.

So I’d recommend that your mother ask her current doctor, or friends and neighbors, about good geriatricians who practice in your area.

See STOSSEL, Page A6

Geriatrician can help older adults weigh treatment options DEAR DOCTOR K: My mother has been going to the same doctor for decades. Now that she is 80, should she switch to a geriatrician?

DEAR READER: There’s a lot to be said for a doctor patient relationship that has built trust over the years.

Switching to a geriatrician may not be a good idea — but consulting a geriatrician could be a very good idea. Geriatricians specialize in the health of older adults.

Older adults have many of the same medical conditions as adults in their 40s, 50s and 60s. But the implications of these illnesses can be different when a person is 70 or older. Put simply, many people over 70 place more value on the quality of their remaining life than the length of their remaining life.

Geriatricians probably understand this balance better than most physicians who see younger adults. Geriatricians are especially trained to provide patients with practical advice, suggesting changes to

Here’s an example. Not long ago a 90-year -old patient of mine developed metastatic cancer. His life expectancy was no longer than a year without treatment, but there were treatments that offered him a chance for several extra months of life. The oncologists were urging him to take the treatment.

He consulted with a geriatrician, who asked the patient questions. How would he feel about the time and travel that would be required to undergo treatment? How bothered would he be by various side effects the treatment might cause? And by symptoms that might be caused by the dis-

What you learn after you know it all OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

I am far from perfect. I do my best to keep a good heart and a good attitude about others but, despite good intentions, I fail regularly.

Although I feel that I have been blessed with much wisdom, I still have a lot to learn. If I had a sign that hung around my neck it would say “WORK IN PROGRESS.” God isn’t finished with me yet. And He won’t be finished with me until my last breath. Even then he has more in store for me. Anyhow, I will qualify what I am about to share as an individual who fumbles regularly, but never gives up on carrying the ball. All of us need to carry the ball down the field, do the best we can with the time we hold it, pick the blasted thing back up off the ground when we drop it, and continue to move it on down the field.

I believe that pride conquers humbleness too much in our lives. In the Bible we are told at Proverbs 16:18 that “Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” I don’t believe that all pride leads to a fall, but I do believe that the repetitive history of mankind supports the scripture verse I just quoted.

The Romans became prideful and thought they would be the most powerful nation forever, and then they fell. Nazi Germany had pride in who they were. They total-

ly messed up the world and then quickly collapsed. In between we had France’s Napoleon Bonaparte, Great Britain’s sea faring kingdom, and many other powerful nations that rose to power and then fell. These nations rose to the top, then, pridefully, they collapsed. Pride has literally completely toppled kingdoms, countries, nations, alliances, and companies. Collectively the entities such as these are made up of individuals who exhibit pride.

But I don’t want this column to be about nations, I want it to be about individuals. All of this starts from within us. Pride has literally destroyed marriages, families and friendships. I do think there are instances where pride is a healthy element for a person to possess. One example is pride in others. I am proud of my child when she accomplishes something she has worked hard for. I am proud of a friend who, as an alcoholic, each day conquers his addiction.

But pride can turn into a negative characteristic if it becomes pride in oneself.

One of the definitions of pride is “An unduly high opinion of oneself” or “exaggerated self-esteem, conceit,” or “Haughty behavior resulting from arrogance.” None of these definitions should make anyone seek a goal of being prideful. Ironically, pride and insecurity can manifest themselves in the same way. They are not opposites, but they are cousins or siblings.

The entire message of this column can be summed up in one quote. I hate to drop the core message into a column in the middle where it could get lost, but here it goes. John Wooden, one of my heroes, once said, “it’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”

Now let me take a step back. Our lives really need to be about serving others. If we are serving others then it is very difficult to be filled with pride. Look at the three

Sunday, July 6, 2014

definitions I provided above.

All three of them focus on a person’s view of himself. People with an overdose of pride lose touch with those they serve because it becomes about the person, not the group. If our lives are about serving others, then we should recognize that any high opinion we have of ourselves or exaggerated selfesteem or arrogance should only exist to be leveraged for the benefit of others.

It may just be a matter of semantics, but I think selfconfidence is an important attribute for a person to carry, but pride in oneself is not. Sometimes this is a thin line. So how do we have selfconfidence, but not pride? It comes down to one key personality trait, “humbleness.”

Humbleness is knowing that you don’t know it all. It is recognizing that others have a greater importance than you. It is checking your ego or pride at the door and pouring what you have into others for the benefit of oth-

ers.

I like the quote by John Maxwell, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” If you truly want to be effective in the lives you touch, you need to put the lives of others above your own.

Only then can pride not have a foothold on your world. I think a lot of the anguish each of us experience is because we have our own pity parties. We think that this world is about us.

The old song goes “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.”

And, “You would cry too if it happened to you.” If your life is about your party, then you run a high danger of being possessed by pride and an egocentric world view. You may find yourself looking down on others in the world around you.

If you are possessed by humbleness and recognize that you can contribute to the lives of others, then you look up at those you interact

A5

with. My challenge to you today is to recognize that your life is work in progress.

Every person you interact with is a special person with special needs. Every person you interact with has something that you can learn from. If you ever get to the point where you think you know it all, your ability to change this world is hindered and although you may feel like the sharpest crayon in the box, you are likely headed for a fall.

You see, it is what you learn after you think you know it all that is most important.

Just a thought.

Is anger, hate a real solution to immigration?

BY R.G. BOBBY VILLEGAS SPECIAL TO THE DAILY RECORD

On Thursday, June 26, I was invited to a press conference in Artesia regarding the undocumented immigrants that will be housed at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. I took the Roswell Daily Record newspaper articles from the previous Sunday and Wednesday with me, as I felt there were some gross misrepresentations and untruths in their reporting. Additionally, I wanted to discover if there was an underlying reason why our local paper would print stories with such inflammatory remarks and falsehoods.

Throughout the meeting, I worked paragraph by paragraph, and asked the representatives from the federal agencies present if these were truthful.

These are the findings: RDR: Some teenage immigrants could be members of murderous

Central American gangs, or involved in drug smuggling and gang distribution.

Response from ICE and/or FLETC officials: The representatives from Washington advised that the statements were simply not true.

RDR: The Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), one of the most dangerous El Salvadorian gangs would be here, and that this administration is conducting a catch and release policy on gang members.

Response: No, not possible/untrue. Screenings are conducted at the time of capture and those with any known gang affiliation are immediately deported.

RDR: Morale was low, and that federal agents were leaving due to the low morale.

Response: Some agents were leaving for different reasons. But as See IMMIGRATION, Page A6

OPINION III

Don’t let ‘If only I had known!’ define you as a parent

BY STEVE WOLFE ROSWELL SAFE COALITION

For more than five years, readers have noted the Roswell SAFE Coalition logo at the top with my various observations and thoughts verbalized below it in a column specifically intended to be a “safety column.” I think that the meeting which I attended in Albuquerque last Friday may have given me, as well as the Coalition, enough material for another five years!

The 2014 Summit on Community Violence put on by the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office was well organized and well presented. About this time last year, I attended the AG’s first summit, which centered along the topic of pre-

scription drug abuse. The opening presentation last year was given by a young lady who had lost a son to heroin addiction. It was heart-rending, as you can imagine.

I thought it might be difficult to again capture our attention so completely as last year, but I was wrong about that. This year’s key story, like the one a year ago, was equally painful.

Through an audio presentation, a young mother named

in any job, there is some turnover, but nothing specific to immigration.

RDR: FLETC in Artesia will be the first of new detentions to house waves of thousands of illegal immigrants.

Response: That was partially true. There are five detention centers in the U.S. that will house these immigrants.

RDR: Central American children are being exploited by gangs and drug cartels.

Response: Not true. These families are fleeing their country to avoid being killed by those gangs. The exploitation is coming from coyotes or entities telling these families that they will get amnesty if they can make it here. That is the real reason they are migrating to the U.S. RDR: President Obama is not a lawenforcement president.

I will remind the RDR staff writer that President Obama is under intense scrutiny with our Hispanic community because there have been more deportations under his command than any other president in history. Last year, there were 395,000 immigrants apprehended, and 365,000 have already been sent back. There are extenuating circumstances, and a legal process that the government has to follow to remove the rest.

RDR: This is going to disrupt the training center.

Response: It will not disrupt the regular business of the training center.

RDR: Hundreds of detainees would inevitably strain the FLETC medical resources.

Response: No, they have adequate staff to handle the 687 people coming in. If there are some who require immediate medical attention, they will be transferred to the Artesia hospital. Yes, we pay for that out of our tax money. Is that the right thing to do?

Probably not. But from a humanitarian point of view, it is. On the other issue of disease, like tuberculosis, the detainee would be quarantined, treated and still go through the process of deportation. Illness will not be a reason to keep them here. The U.S. has an agreement with those countries to alert them when a person with a disease is being returned, so they can care for them.

RDR: On the inflammatory statement that this administration has spun the term “deportation” as a form of volunteer return.

Response: Simply not true. All is done with due process, no exceptions.

I also asked questions about the Roswell Daily Record article from the Wednesday article, and again, they proved to be fabricated “facts,” misinforming our Roswell community.

Right. When government picks winners, it pats itself on the back -and gains crony friends in industry. But it creates losers at the same time.

“When Export-Import Bank helps G.E., and others build an oil refinery in Turkey, it hurts the domestic refining industry,” says Hensarling. “For every job Export-Import creates in exports, they kill an American job domestically. It’s not helping us.”

But few of us bother to complain. Benefits of government spending go to a concentrated few -- who fight to keep the program going. When taxpayers and domestic businesses

Candace Stevens told us the story of how her own mother along with a boyfriend, had sexually abused and sexually exploited Ms. Stevens’ 4-year-old daughter! The seemingly good and attentive grandmother had actually carried the camera while her forty-something fiancé sexually abused the child.

Following the audio, we the audience watched a live panel discussion in which Steve Stucker of Channel 4 KOB-TV and Chris Schueler interviewed Candace Stevens. Mr. Schueler is an Emmy Award-winning television producer and creator, and the interview was wonderful, although extremely difficult to observe.

Sexual exploitation seems to evoke a number of reac-

round the complex is intended to give the kids a safe place to play outside while on their short stay there. There are no towers or cameras because they are not criminals.

They are people who do not have legal papers to be here — that is all.

Kintigh suggested there has been a lack of communication and coordination between federal authorities and law enforcement. Again, this is an immigration problem, not a criminal element problem, and certainly not a local law enforcement problem. If our mayor is looking for recognition, this is a poor way to go about getting it.

In true political rhetoric, State Rep. Candy Spence Ezell placed most of the blame on President Obama. This statement is a considerable stretch.

May I remind all readers that it is the Republican Party that has killed any chance of better plans for handling the immigration issue? As recently as Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner advised they will not hear the immigration issue this year. I may also remind everyone that the Republicans seem quite happy that what they have not done on immigration reform has been an injustice to all of us —citizens, immigrants, and undocumented immigrants alike. Rep. Spence Ezell also said, “Once they step on American soil, all they have to say is ‘I’m seeking asylum,’ and they stay.” Another statement that is not true. Again, there is a process that must be adhered to, and asylum is not just granted to everyone who says they want it. These false statements are meant to make people angry, and to fuel the hate machine that has been the national Republican Party since President Obama took office. In the same breath, Rep. Spence Ezell stated that we have to have immigration reform. It hardly holds any credibility, considering that immigration reform won’t be coming from any Republicans anytime soon.

So, after the three-hour press conference, these are the facts. FLETC will house only mothers with kids under 18, and according to ICE, there will be no gang members here.

If the rules don’t apply regarding amnesty, they will all be returned to their respective countries. The minimum time they will stay is three days, and the maximum is three months. All will be processed out, and none will be released in this area.

According to the government officials, they will not likely attempt to escape because there is simply no reason to. Most of these kids have never slept in a bed or had a hot shower. They are human beings, children and mothers. Thought: We feed and shelter our pets, dogs, cats, horses and if they do wrong, we euthanize them. We feed and shelter undocumented immigrants, if we have no feelings of respect for human dignity, wherein lies the difference?

suffer because of resources transferred to the well-connected Ex-Im Bank-linked businesses, we each lose just a few bucks. We will never hire as many lobbyists to criticize the bank as the beneficiaries do to keep it going. Like every other government program, ExIm Bank creates a vocal constituency that never wants to see the program die.

And that time and energy spent lobbying is time that companies might have devoted to improving their product or making their business more efficient. Gifts from government get companies to focus on lobbying instead of innovation. Government favoritism creates bad incentives.

Before he was president, Barack Obama agreed with me. He said, “I’m not a Democrat who believes that we can or should defend every government program just because it’s there. There are some that

don’t work, like ... the Export-Import Bank that has become little more than a fund for corporate welfare. Candidate Obama understood. But now, instead of getting rid of the Ex-Im Bank, he wants the bank to loan out even more of your money.

Does America need “export assistance,” as well as “small business support,” an “energy policy” and so on?

No! We already have a time-tested policy for deciding, without government interference, where resources should go. It’s called the free market. It works much better than government does.

tions and feelings. Perhaps one of the most devastating is silence. It is difficult for us as a society to talk about this horrific problem and because of that, a child who has been exploited may be frightened or intimidated into not telling. They may fear that they will not be believed or that what happened was their fault. They may just hide their pain.

There are steps that should be taken, and which may empower these children, parents and guardians to overcome what they have lost, and give them the opportunity to live healthier and more productive lives. Families, schools, and communities all can play a role in preventing the sexual exploitation of children. While there’s not room in this one column today,

here are just a few thoughts for parents and families.

There are many more.

It is critical that you listen to your children. Pay attention if they tell you they don’t want to be with someone or go somewhere.

Teach them that they have the right to say NO to any touching or actions by others which make them feel scared. They must know that it is OK to tell you anything! And be sensitive to changes in your children’s behavior or attitude, always ready to be an active listener. In my view, involvement and awareness are key to protecting our children from the many dangerous circumstances which they, and we as their parents and grandparents, may face.

TAKING POSITIVITY TOO FAR SILVER CITY DAILY PRESS

RUIDOSO — We’re all for keeping things positive, but it’s possible to take things too far — as the Ruidoso village council has proved.

Ruidoso’s leaders enacted a rule banning speakers from saying anything negative during their comments before the council.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, a speaker could praise personnel, staff or the village council, or could make a neutral comment, but could not voice criticism.

The rule was adopted

after a controversial 2011 decision by Ruidoso’s then-mayor to ban firearms in village buildings. The resulting protests by gun advocates often launched into personal and professional criticism of staff during council meetings, which the mayor thought was unfair to employees.

A Ruidoso attorney was denied a spot on a council meeting agenda because of the no-criticism role, and he took the village to federal court — and won. An injunction was issued last week that found the restriction to be unconsti-

were several other topics of great interest, including such things as human trafficking, date violence, cyber bullying, and internet safety. Certainly, you will hear from me in this column on most of these subjects.

Furthermore, during the next few months, it is likely that the Roswell SAFE Coalition will present a series of public forums on a range of dangers to our children and young people. One of the earliest may be Teen Suicide. If you have interest or expertise, and would like to be involved, please call me. These are big risks and important to all of us.

tutional.

Our only question: What took so long? Scratch that, there’s another question that needs to be asked: How could anyone in public office think such a rule was OK?

While civility is important, free and open dialogue means that things aren’t always going to be sunshine and roses. Doing the public’s business means that you’ll be up for critique, sometimes unfairly.

We’re glad that our leaders here understand that.

What’s making US economy a world beater? 5 factors Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — How does the U.S. economy do it?

Europe is floundering.

China faces slower growth.

Japan is struggling to sustain tentative gains.

Yet the U.S. job market is humming, and the pace of economic growth is steadily rising. Five full years after a devastating recession officially ended, the economy is finally showing the vigor that Americans have long awaited.

Here are five reasons the United States is outpacing other major economies:

An aggressive central bank

“The Federal Reserve acted sooner and more aggressively than other central banks in keeping rates low,” says Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group.

In December 2008, the Fed slashed short-ter m interest rates to near zero and has kept them there.

Ultra-low loan rates have made it easier for individuals and businesses to borrow and spend. The Fed also launched three bondbuying programs meant to reduce long-term rates.

By contrast, the European Central Bank has been slower to respond to signs of economic distress among the 18 nations that share the euro currency.

The ECB actually raised rates in 2011 — the same year the eurozone sank back into recession.

Stronger banks

The United States moved faster than Europe to restore its banks’ health after the financial crisis of 2008-2009. The U.S. gover nment bailed out the financial system and subjected big banks to stress tests in 2009 to reveal their financial strength. By showing the banks to be surprisingly healthy, the stress tests helped restore confidence in the U.S. financial system.

Banks gradually started lending again. European banks are only now undergoing stress tests, and the results won’t be out until fall. In the meantime, Europe’s banks lack confidence. They fear that other banks are holding too many bad loans and that Europe is vulnerable to another crisis. So they aren’t lending much.

In the United States, overall bank lending is up

nearly 4 percent in the past year. Lending to business has jumped 10 percent.

A more flexible economy

Economists say Japan and Europe need to undertake reforms to make their economies more flexible — more, in other words, like America’s.

Europe needs to lift wage restrictions that prevent employers from cutting pay (rather than eliminating jobs) when times are bad. It could also rethink welfare and retirement programs that discourage people from working and dismantle policies that protect favored businesses and block innovative newcomers, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has argued.

China is struggling to manage a transition from an economy based on exports and often wasteful investment in real estate and factories to a sturdier but likely slower -growing economy based on more consumer spending.

Less budget-cutting

Weighed down by debt, many European countries took an ax to swelling budget deficits. They slashed pension benefits, raised taxes and cut civil servants’ wages. The cuts devastated several European economies. They led to 27 percent unemployment in Greece, 14 percent in Portugal and 25 percent in Spain. The United States has done some budget cutting, too, and raised taxes.

But U.S. austerity hasn’t been anywhere near as harsh.

A roaring stock market

The Fed’s easy-money policies ignited a worldbeating U.S. stock market rally. Over the past five years, U.S. stocks have easily outpaced shares in Europe, Japan and Hong Kong. That was one of Bernanke’s goals in lowering rates. He figured that miserly fixed-income rates would nudge investors into stocks in search of higher retur ns. Higher stock prices would then make Americans feel more confident and more willing to spend — the so-called wealth effect.

Most economists agree it’s worked.

inductee of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. She said she’s not the type of student who is afraid to ask questions.

“I’m one of those types of students that doesn’t care if I look dumb,” Amy said. “That’s what the teacher is for — to explain to you if you don’t understand something. So I don’t know why people should be ashamed of that, but I wasn’t; I would go ask teachers. I’m also a perfectionist. It gets me stressed out, but if I see the results, then I’m happy.”

Amy’s inquisitive nature is leading to a new chapter in her life as she prepares to attend the Ivy League’s Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., this fall to study industrial and labor relations.

“I’ve never away been from home,” she said, “but I think it’s that point where I have to.”

Amy said she intends to obtain a bachelor’s, master’s, and hopefully Ph.D. degree from Cornell and then work to help people gain labor equality in the workplace.

“And after that, I definitely want to travel, mainly to South America to see what can we do,” Amy said.

“And definitely here in Roswell, I want to somehow help give back for what I received.”

Amy said she never considered attending an Ivy League school until she received a letter from Cornell inviting her to apply.

“I never thought about going to New York,” she said. “When that letter came across, I was excited, so I wanted to go ahead and do it.”

After an extensive application process that included two essays, three letters of recommendation and a phone interview, Amy was accepted into Cornell. She was awarded a financial aid package of scholarships and grants that will pay 95 percent of the university’s $63,000 annual tuition, room, meals, books and transportation costs.

“I’m so thankful to God that they are covering 95 percent, so pretty much it’s just my 5 percent of expenses that I need to do with the scholarships and grants from the university,” Amy said. “So it’s definitely a great university that gives a lot of financial help.”

Amy has yet to travel to the Ithaca campus. She conceded she is rolling the roulette wheel on who

Sunday, July 6, 2014

will be her Ivy League roommate.

However, going to new places, meeting new people, and facing new challenges is nothing new for her.

“I definitely think everything in life, you have to take risks and you have to make the most out of what you do, and that’s what I tried doing here,” Amy said. “I had great teachers at ENMU-R that supported me, their staff. I worked at the Adult Basic Education Department for two years. I helped second-language learners and GED students.

“It’s definitely another side of the story that is sad because you see a lot of kids that don’t get support from family members. That definitely just encouraged me as well to try to help as much as I can in what I do on my everyday basis.”

After living in the United States for much of her teenage life, Amy returned to El Salvador for her junior year of high school in 2011.

Amy, who is fully bilingual and a dual citizen of both El Salvador and the United States, said returning to live in El Salvador gave her a fresh perspective and a re-immersion into Spanish language.

“I think moving back to El Salvador prepared me to be a better person and to become fully bilingual, even writing it and speaking it,” she said. “So, that was a plus.”

Most of Amy’s family lives in El Salvador, the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America, which has recently made news because of thousands of El Salvadorian children migrating to the United States illegally.

Despite being the smallest country in Central America with a population of 6.1 million people occupying little more than 8,000 square miles, El Salvador has some of the highest murder rates in the world. It is also considered an epicenter of the gang crisis along with Guatemala and Honduras.

“Ever since I grew up there, I don’t think it’s scary, you just need to know where to go,” Amy said.

“Obviously, you’re not going to go to a dangerous place. Don’t go out too late. But I definitely think if you’re not into any bad businesses, then you should be fine.”

El Salvador also has the thirdlargest economy in Central America, with a per capita income that is roughly two-thirds that of Costa

A7

Rica and Panama, but more than double that of Nicaragua.

Amy said many El Salvadorian families live on one meal a day, without the luxuries of shoes and clothing, or air conditioning or hot water in homes.

“I thought it was pretty cool that the U.S. had warm water to take a shower,” Amy said. “It’s impacting once you see it. Once you see it with your own eyes, you definitely see how grateful you are and how much God has given you and you definitely want to make a change to help those that are in worse conditions.”

Although all of her family still lives in El Salvador with the exception of her parents and three younger brothers, Amy said she is unware of any family or friends among the thousands of Central Americans coming to the United States each month.

Amy said she is sympathetic to the plight of those seeking to migrate to America.

“I definitely think it’s sad,” she said. “It’s even more sad that we haven’t found a solution to the problem here in the U.S., where we should make laws about it. I definitely see where they’re coming from because there is a lot of poverty and violence.

“I definitely want to make a change, if I can, with Cornell and with their help, and definitely for Roswell, as well, because they welcomed us here. My dad received his master’s here at NMSU and then they gave him a job at the New Mexico state engineer, so that’s why we came here.”

Amy is a summer intern at the state engineer’s office in Roswell, but she said she doesn’t think engineering is her calling.

“I think I’m more of a human resources person, towards helping people and talking to people,” she said. “I like math, but I don’t think I could do that for a career.”

Amy said her long-ter m goals include completing her education, raising a family and helping others.

“Definitely get my academic goals out of the way, help others in need as much as I can, and for my family, teach them what my parents taught; good values, love your family, believe in God, with God’s help everything is possible,” Amy said.

Palestinian teen burned to death RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — An autopsy showed an Arab teenager who Palestinians say was killed in a revenge attack was burned to death, officials said Saturday, while Palestinian militants fired two rockets toward a major southern city deeper into Israel than any other attack in the current round of violence.

The Israeli military said its “Iron Dome” defense system intercepted the rockets that were aimed at Beersheba. The military also said at least 29 other rockets and mortars were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel over the weekend.

It said it had retaliated with airstrikes on militant sites in Gaza.

Clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters spread early Saturday from Jerusalem to Arab towns in northern Israel as hundreds of people took to the streets and threw rocks and fire bombs at officers who responded with tear gas and stun grenades, police said.

Palestinian Attorney General Abdelghani alOwaiwi said he received initial autopsy results from a Palestinian doctor who was present at the autopsy in Tel Aviv. He said it shows that 16year -old Palestinian Mohammed Abu Khdeir, whose death has sparked large protests in his east Jerusalem neighborhood, suffered burns on “90 percent of his body.”

“The results show he was breathing while on fire and died from burns and their consequences,” al-Owaiwi said.

His account provided the first details of the preliminary findings to be made public. The Israeli Health Ministry could not

be reached for comment.

The autopsy found evidence that Abu Khdeir had breathed in the flames as burns were found inside his body, in his lungs, bronchial tubes and his throat, al-Owaiwi said.

He also said the young man had suffered wounds on the right side of his head apparently from impact with a rock or another hard object.

Abu Khdeir’s charred body was found in a forest Wednesday after he was seized near his home.

Palestinians immediately accused Israeli extremists of killing him to avenge the deaths of three Israeli teens who had been abducted and killed in the West Bank. Israeli police said an investigation is still underway and they have not yet determined who killed the boy or why.

Israeli leaders have widely condemned the killing of the Palestinian youth, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed those responsible would be brought to justice.

Palestinians took to the streets in protests after news of the boy’s death on Wednesday and clashed with police in east Jerusalem. Riots erupted in east Jerusalem Friday as thousands of Palestinians massed for the boy’s burial.

Near the town of Qalansawe, protesters also pulled over a car driven by an Israeli Jew on Saturday, pulled him out and set the vehicle on fire, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said. The driver was not injured. Several other Israeli cars were also torched, she said. Dozens of protesters were arrested across the country throughout the day.

Protests subsided by noon but resumed in the evening with violent demonstrations in several Arab towns in the north of the country, police said.

Israel’s public security minister, Yitzhak Aharonovitch, visited areas of friction and said police would display “zero tolerance” toward those “who take the law into their own hands and harm innocent people.”

Israeli Arabs, unlike Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, hold citizenship rights. But they often face discrimination and mostly identify with the Palestinians.

Even so, violent riots like these are rare.

Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem also used an electric saw to damage the light rail that connects the heavily Arab populated eastern sector of the city with the mostly Jewish West, Samri said.

President Shimon Peres spoke with Arab leaders Saturday night in Israel urging calm. “We must unite to prevent tragedies and loss of life. Together we can lower the flames and protect the innocent people, he said.

The chaos began after three Israeli teenagers, one of whom was a U.S. citizen, were abducted in the West Bank on June 12, sparking a huge manhunt that ended with the gruesome discovery of their bodies earlier this week.

In a separate incident, relatives told The Associated Press that Abu Khdeir’s 15-year-old cousin Tariq, a U.S. citizen who goes to school in Florida, was beaten by police during clashes on Thursday ahead of the funeral. The U.S. Consulate had no immediate comment on

the report.

The Florida chapter of the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations called on the U.S. Department of State to demand that Israel immediately release Khdeir.

In Washington, a State Department spokesperson said an official from the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem had visited Khdeir on Saturday.

“We are profoundly troubled by reports that he was severely beaten while in police custody and strongly condemn any excessive use of force,” the spokesperson, Jen Psaki, said in a statement released Saturday. “We are calling for a speedy, transparent and credible investigation and full accountability for any excessive use of force.”

She also expressed concern about “the increasing violent incidents” and urged Israelis and Palestinians “to take steps to restore calm and prevent harm to innocents.”

Khdeir’s parents, Suha and Salah, said Tariq was detained but had been treated at an Israeli hospital. They released photos showing his face swollen and badly bruised.

Samri, the Israeli police spokeswoman, said that Tariq Abu Khdeir had resisted arrest and attacked police officers. He was detained with a slingshot in his possession used to hurl stones at police, along with six other protesters, including some armed with knives, she said, adding that several officers were hurt in that specific protest, one of many that day.

Tariq’s father said he witnessed his son’s arrest and insisted the boy was not involved in the violence.

Argentina’s early goal tops Belgium Sunday, July 6, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

Section

Roswell Daily Record

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Gonzalo Higuain’s first goal of this World Cup sent Argentina into the semifinals on Saturday with a 1-0 win over a disappointing Belgium.

Argentina, which hadn’t advanced past the World Cup quarterfinals since 1990, controlled the match after Higuain’s eighth minute goal, more due to disciplined defending than sparkling attack.

The Napoli striker fired home Angel Di Maria’s deflected pass just inside the area, beating Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with a low shot to the far corner of the goal as he turned.

“Since the first game of this World Cup I said I was calm, that the goals would come. It came and at an important moment,” Higuain said. “It’s been so many years since we made it to the semifinals.

Now we did.”

Higuain came close to making it 2-0 in the second half when his shot smashed into the crossbar. Lionel Messi missed a

chance to score his fifth goal of the tournament when he failed to beat Courtois on a counterattack.

Belgium lacked the creativity to find a way past Argentina’s disciplined defense, and created few clear chances apart from a pair of headers by Kevin Mirallas and Marouane Fellaini.

Belgium’s most creative player, Eden Hazard, had little impact on the game beyond receiving a yellow card for a studsfirst challenge on Lucas Biglia. Hazard cut a disconsolate figure as he was substiuted

by Nacer Chadli in the 75th.

Argentina’s next opponent will be the winner of the last quarterfinal between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, who were playing later Saturday in Salvador.

Long after the game, thousands of Argentine fans flocked to one section of the Estadio Nacional to celebrate the team’s

Netherlands goalkeeper Tim Krul, left, celebrates with Dirk Kuyt after the Netherlands beat Costa Rica 4-3 in penalties, Saturday.

SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) — Louis van Gaal made the call, and Tim Krul made the saves.

In another move that will only add to his reputation as a tactical mastermind, the Netherlands coach led his team into the World Cup semifinals after bringing on Krul with seconds remaining in extra time.

Moments later, Krul saved two penalties in a 4-3 shootout victory over Costa Rica, making the Manchester United-bound Van Gaal again look like a football genius.

"It worked out," Van Gaal said Saturday after his team played Costa Rica to a 0-0 draw through extra time. "That was beautiful.

I'm a bit proud of that."

Jasper Cillessen had started in goal for the Dutch team, but Van Gaal made the decision to pull him after 120 minutes of scoreless football and replace him with Krul.

The Newcastle goalkeeper, who really only touched the ball twice all game, saved the second and fifth penalties, and guessed the correct way on all five.

"We thought it all through," Van Gaal said. "We all thought that Tim Krul was the best keeper to stop penalties. He is taller and has a longer reach. We prepared for the Costa Rica penal-

DENVER (AP) — Josh Kroenke's slip of the tongue even made Arron Afflalo smirk.

The Denver Nuggets president explained Monday how he has closely "Afflalowed" the shooting guard's two seasons in Orlando, before reacquiring him in a draft-day deal last week.

"Afflalowed? I have followed," Kroenke quickly modified to laughter, "Arron's career since he left here."

There's no mistaking this: Afflalo has developed more of an all-around game since the Nuggets dealt him to the Magic on Aug. 10, 2012, as part of the blockbuster fourteam, 12-player deal that also involved Dwight Howard.

Back then, Afflalo was viewed as a defensive specialist with a solid jumper.

Now, he's got more of a shooter's mentality. So much so that Kroenke introduced him as a "new Arron Afflalo."

"Arron took a lot of steps in his own growth over the time he was here and has since taken more steps," Kroenke said. "I'm proud to see him doing the things he's been doing down in Orlando."

The 28-year -old Afflalo is coming off a season with Orlando in which he averaged career highs in points (18.2), rebounds (3.6) and assists (3.4). He also made 128 3-pointers.

This season, he will be reunited in the backcourt with Ty Lawson, who was one of the first to congratulate him after the trade that sent promising young point guard Evan Fournier to the Magic, along with a pick.

"I want to continue to improve as a player," Afflalo said. "I'm going to do my job, work hard this summer to put myself in the best position."

In some ways, Afflalo feels like he never really left the Nuggets as he always kept close tabs on his former team.

And yet plenty has changed in his two-year absence.

Namely, George Karl being replaced as coach by Brian Shaw. Afflalo is ready to take on whatever role Shaw has for him, whether it's as a scorer or simply being Afflalo the leader.

"My job is to make sure I'm capable of getting that job done," Afflalo said. "I have no problem doing whatever coach asks of me."

Special K: 2nd Wimbledon title for Petra Kvitova LONDON (AP) — Petra Kvitova plays so much better at the All England Club than anywhere else, and now she owns two championships to prove it.

In one of the most dominant performances in a women’s final at Wimbledon, the sixth-seeded Kvitova of the Czech Republic overpowered and overwhelmed 13th-seeded Eugenie Bouchard of Canada 6-3, 6-0 in only 55 minutes Saturday to add to her 2011 title at the grass-court Grand Slam.

“I know,” Kvitova said, “this is the best tournament for me.”

Absolutely true. Her career record of 265 at Wimbledon translates to an .839 winning percentage, compared to her marks of .667 at the three other majors and .681 at all other events.

In 2014, Kvitova lost in the first round at

the hard-court Australian Open, and in the third round at the clay-court French Open. But get her on the grass court, and those speedy serves and flat forehands really shine.

“For sure, she was on,” Bouchard said.

“We know that when she’s on, she’s very tough to beat. Especially on this surface.”

On Saturday, the 24-year-old Kvitova certainly was “on.” Oh, was she ever. Pretty much perfect in every way.

SCOREBOARD

The Dallas Mavericks are bringing back Devin Harris in what could be a more prominent role for the point guard.

Two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday that Harris and the Mavericks have agreed on a new contract. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t announced the deal.

The 31-year-old Harris played for Dallas on a one-year, $3 million deal last season, missing the first half of the year after offseason toe surgery. He originally had a threeyear contract worth $9 million, but the deal was scuttled by the toe injury.

The new deal is reportedly similar in value to last year’s three-year contract.

The deal with Harris came two days after Dirk Nowitzki agreed to terms on a threeyear, $30 million contract with a player option in the final season of the deal.

The Mavericks struck both deals while still waiting for word from free agent Carmelo Anthony, who visited Dallas last week. If Anthony signs elsewhere, Dallas will be in the market for a small forward to play alongside Nowitzki.

Harris was the backup to Jose Calderon last season, but the Mavericks traded Calderon to the New York Knicks when they acquired Tyson Chandler the day before the draft. Dallas got Knicks point guard Raymond Felton in the deal, but he’s coming off an unproductive year that included trouble off the court.

In his first season back with Dallas after starting his career there, Harris averaged 7.9 points and 4.5 assists in 40 games. But he shot a career-low 38 percent from the field, including just 31 percent from 3-point range.

Acquired by the Mavericks as the No. 5 overall pick in a draft-night trade in 2004, Harris is the highest draft choice for Dallas since owner Mark Cuban bought the team in 2000.

Harris was on the first Dallas team to reach the NBA Finals in 2006 — a six-game loss to Miami — before going to New Jersey in a trade that brought Jason Kidd to the Mavericks in 2008. He also played in Utah and Atlanta.

Most surprisingly, even to Kvitova herself, was the way she motored around the Centre Court grass with her right thigh heavily bandaged, displaying defensive skill that she’s not necessarily known for.

It was telling that Bouchard lost in such a lopsided manner despite four unforced errors.

“I mean, (a) few shots was really incredible, and I really couldn’t believe that I made it, actually,” said Kvitova, who was within two points of defeat against Venus Williams in the third round. “I said, ‘Oh, my God, this is good!”’

The match was played under a heavy cover of clouds, and it seemed as if Bouchard’s best chance to regroup would be a rain delay.

“I don’t know,” Bouchard’s mother, Julie Leclair, said, “if there was much she could’ve done.”

A shower arrived minutes after the brief-as-could-be final concluded. Before the trophy presentation, the retractable roof was closed,

and both players left the court for a bit. Bouchard was told to wait in the room used to engrave champions’ names.

“I was watching them work,” Bouchard said, “wishing one day — dreaming — that he’ll write my name somewhere.”

The previous time a runner -up won only three games in the Wimbledon final was 1992, when Steffi Graf beat Monica Seles.

Before that, it hadn’t happened since 1983, when another Czech lefty, Martina Navratilova, defeated Andrea Jaeger.

Just 10 times in the history of a women’s tournament first played in 1884 has a champion ceded fewer games in the final than Kvitova did.

Kvitova, who was thrilled to have nine-time champion Navratilova present Saturday, remains the only player born in the 1990s to win a major singles title.

Bouchard, 20, would have been the second.

Already a semifinalist at the Australian Open and French Open this season but playing in her first Grand Slam final, Bouchard was a little wowed by the occasion.

“We were holding flowers instead of our tennis bags,”

SPORTS

Bouchard said. “The applause was really loud when we walked out. That’s the main thing that registered in my mind.”

When play began, Kvitova immediately took charge, breaking to lead 21 with a cross-court forehand winner she celebrated by yelping, “Pojd!” — the Czech equivalent of “Come on!”

Most points were short, but the next game ended with Kvitova taking a 13stroke exchange, making two terrific defensive stabs to prolong it, before flicking a cross-court backhand passing shot on the run.

Bouchard got one break back to pull within 5-3, but she wouldn’t win another game.

“She played unbelievable and didn’t give me many opportunities to stay in the rally,” Bouchard acknowledged, “or do what I do.”

That’s what Kvitova, who will rise to No. 4 in the rankings Monday, is capable of at Wimbledon.

“I feel really, like, at home. I mean I was really up and down after my title here 2011,” said Kvitova, who beat Maria Sharapova in straight sets in the final three years ago. “I was still (working) hard, (believing) in myself.”

Tour de France to-knows

HARROGATE, England (AP) — Despite the royal icing on the cake on the Tour de France’s opening day, the first stage is all about Mark Cavendish.

Just not the way he wanted.

Meters from the finish in his mother’s hometown of Harrogate, he crashed, and may have damaged his shoulder enough to be finished with the Tour.

Here’s five things to know about Saturday’s stage, and Sunday’s: PARTY SPOILED: Cavendish, Britain’s best sprinter and winner of 25 Tour stages, made the first stage from Leeds to Harrogate the main goal of his season. It was a chance to wear the yellow jersey for the first time, but he lost his focus for a tenth of a second and his dream turned into a nightmare. Spurred on by the noise and encouragement of more than one million fans lining the course in Yorkshire, he fared well over the 190 kilometers and looked set for a fierce battle with his main rival Marcel Kittel in the finale. But with 300 meters to go, Cavendish made a mistake as he leaned on Simon Gerrans and took the Australian down with him.

With his jersey lacerated, Cavendish managed to cross the finish line but did not speak to reporters. After some comfort from his wife and daughter, he headed to a local hospital, where exams revealed ligament ruptures and a joint dislocation in his right shoulder. His team will reveal on Sunday whether he will continue on the Tour. “I’m gutted about the crash today,” Cavendish said later in a statement. “It was my fault. I’ll personally apologize to Simon Gerrans as soon as I get the chance. In reality, I tried to find a gap that wasn’t really there. I wanted to win today, I felt really strong, and was in a great position to contest the sprint thanks to the unbelievable efforts of my team. “ FROOME AND CONTADOR DODGE DANGERS: Defending champion Chris Froome avoided the crash and took a surprising sixth place in the stage, while two-time champ Alberto Contador ended safely in the pack, in 22nd place. Both rivals were awarded the same time as Kittel.

Froome received good protection from his teammates and was unfazed when the peloton split in the Cote de Buttertubs. Contador said: “Just surviving a stage like today is a victory. These stages are all about avoiding any trouble. The team protected me, and I will count on them in the coming days.”

ROYAL SEND-OFF: After a procession through the streets of Leeds, the 198 Tour riders received a warm welcome from Royal family members including the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband Prince William. Alongside Prince Harry, they met the riders at 255-year-old Harewood House, where the peloton was also greeted by a Red Arrows fly-past. In a green outfit, the Duchess cut the ribbon to officially start the race as the French national anthem resonated, followed by “God Save the Queen.” Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, relaxed in an open-collar shirt, also was at the finish line.

FRANCE IN YORKSHIRE: The Tour entourage has brought a lot of French-accented English to the Yorkshire countryside, and at least one quaint and enthusiastic town has returned the favor — with some French. In Otley, shortly after the start of the race, pubs and restaurants were rechristened, with French banners draping their window fronts: The Black Horse became Le Cheval Noir, The White Swan was renamed Le Cygne Blanc, and The Crossed Pipes became Les Pipes Croisees. The three climbs featured in the stage were also renamed by Tour organizers, with the Cote de Cray, Cote de Buttertubs and Cote de Grinton Moor giving an exotic flavor to the local landscape.

UP AND DOWN ALL DAY: Sunday’s second stage takes the riders from York to Sheffield on a hilly terrain likely to favor one-day classics specialists. The narrow Yorkshire roads are quite dangerous and the short climb near the finish line, with an average gradient of 10.8 percent, is unlikely to allow a massive sprint. Overall contenders will be wary of the 4.7-kilometer Holme Moss climb, about 60 kilometers from the finish, and will make sure they ride near the front to avoid getting caught by a break.

Argentina Continued from Page B1

best World Cup performance in 24 years.

Argentina was knocked out in the quarterfinals in the previous two World Cups, both times by Germany. The last time it reached the semifinals was in Italy 1990, when Diego Maradona led the team to the final, which it lost 1-0 to West Germany.

Argentina has won every match in Brazil with a single goal. But unlike in previous games, the Albiceleste put in a solid performance over 90 minutes in Brasilia, frustrating the Belgians with a near -flawless defense, bolstered by strong performances from central midfielders Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia.

The team looked in control even after Di Maria — the team’s most influential player in Brazil aside from Messi — was substituted by Enzo Perez in the 33rd minute. The winger had appeared to hurt his right leg while shooting five minutes earlier.

Argentina took the lead when Di Maria, picking up a pass from Messi, cut in from the right and tried to find fullback Pablo Zabaleta, but his pass

ties just as we prepared for our own penalties."

In the semifinals, the Netherlands will face Lionel Messi and his Argentina teammates in Sao Paulo on Wednesday.

Although Krul made the decisive stops in the shootout, it was Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas that was the star of the match.

Navas made a string of saves to keep the attacking Dutch scoreless for 90 minutes of regulation time and 30 minutes of extra time.

His night, however, will forever be overshadowed by Krul, and by Van Gaal.

"I never saw something like that," Costa Rica midfielder Celso Borges said of the goalkeeping change. "But they were right, he did his job."

Van Gaal has made several inspired changes at this year's World Cup in the team's five straight wins. He brought on Klaas Jan Huntelaar against Mexico and the Schalke striker had an assist and scored a stoppage-time penalty to win 21.

bounced of f Jan Vertonghen into Higuain’s path.

The Napoli striker avenged himself for a string of mediocre performances in Brazil and was Argentina’s best player before being substituted by Fernando Gago in the 81st.

“Higuain has the class to put the ball where he wants it. There is nothing we could do about it,” Courtois said about the goal.

Startled by the early goal, the Red Devils didn’t cause any danger in Argentina’s penalty area until the 42nd minute when Kevin Mirallas headed Vertonghen’s cross just wide of Sergio Romero’s right post.

Meanwhile, Argentina looked dangerous on the counterattack, with Higuain cutting up the Belgian defense with runs down the center.

Fifteen minutes after the break, Vertonghen once again sent a precise cross from the left flank but Fellani headed it over the crossbar.

Despite the loss, Belgium coach Marc Wilmots said he was not impressed by the Argentines, calling them “just an ordinary team.”

“I think if we had equalized in the last few minutes, they are dead, they are finished,” Wilmots said.

Against Chile, midfielder Leroy Fer scored within a minute of coming on to break a 0-0 deadlock. Another substitute, Memphis Depay, scored the second in the 2-0 victory.

On Saturday, Navas had kept his team in the match with some excellent saves. And when Wesley Sneijder twice beat him late in regulation and again in the second half of extra time, the woodwork made the stop.

Sneijder hit the post with a free kick in the 80th minute and then sent a curling shot over Navas and off the crossbar before the penalty shootout.

At the end, however, Navas could not stop any of the four Dutch penalties as veterans Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt all scored.

"Of course you want to stop the penalty," Navas said. "But they shot better and I could not stop them."

Navas couldn't, but Krul could.

"Tim stopped two penalties," Van Gaal said, "and it doesn't get better than that."

Browns WR Gordon charged for DWI in N.C.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated after speeding down a street in Raleigh on Saturday, bringing the troubled Pro Bowler’s already cloudy future into more doubt.

Gordon was taken into custody after being pulled over for going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on U.S. 70 in northwest Raleigh around 3 a.m. Saturday, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

The police report on Gordon’s arrest wasn’t finished, so Sughrue didn’t know what type of vehicle Gordon was driving or what led the officer to suspect he had been drinking.

Gordon was released on bail. Court records did not list an attorney.

The 23-year -old wide

receiver has been in trouble before off the field. He was suspended two games last season for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, but still led the league with 1,646 yards receiving .

Gordon reportedly failed another drug test during the offseason, which could lead to a season-long ban.

In May, he was ticketed for speeding and a passenger in his car was cited for marijuana possession. He pleaded not guilty and has a hearing in the case scheduled for next Friday.

Gordon was at team’s recent mini-camp, but has declined interviews.

Browns management has been waiting to hear from the NFL before deciding Gordon’s future. Cleveland General Manager Ray Farmer found out about the arrest hours after it happened.

“We are aware of the matter and are disappointed to learn of this situation. We will comment further at the appropriate time,” Far mer said in a statement.

Gordon’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said he had no comment about the arrest.

Gordon entered the league out of Baylor with a history of substance-abuse issues. Gordon is known to have failed at least three drug tests in college, but the Browns were willing to overlook his past when they selected him in the second round of the supplemental draft in 2012.

For mer teammate and captain, linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said on Twitter: “If you’re close to Josh Gordon please help this kid, it’s not about football anymore it’s about picking up the pieces of his life.”

Rangers stop six-game skid, beat Mets, 5-3

Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — After more than two weeks of mostly misery, the Texas Rangers weren’t about to start patting themselves on the back for winning one game.

Robinson Chirinos hit an early three-run homer, Adrian Beltre connected again and Texas ended a six-game losing streak with a 53 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night.

“I know we finally won a ballgame, but we’ve got to win more than just today,” manager Ron Washington said.

Alex Rios had three hits, including an RBI double off longtime Texas nemesis Bartolo Colon in a four -run first, and Colby Lewis (6-5) pitched six steady innings to help the banged-up Rangers win for only the third time in 17 games.

They snapped a 10-game skid on the road, their longest since a

club-record slide of 12 games in 2003, with their first win away from home since June 16 in Oakland.

“It’s been a rough season and we’ve talked plenty about this, and it’s a shame that it happened to us with as good of a team that we were going to have,” Rios said.

“But we just have to go out and play like we did tonight, have fun and enjoy what we do.”

Travis d’Arnaud homered for the Mets, who have dropped five of six and eight of 10. David Wright had a double in four atbats as he returned to the lineup after missing seven games with a bruised left rotator cuff.

Colon (8-7) went seven innings but lost his second consecutive outing after going 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA in his previous seven starts.

The 41-year-old right-hander fell to 20-9 in 34 starts against

the Rangers, his most wins against any team and the most by any pitcher vs. Texas.

The first inning has been a bugaboo for Colon all season.

“I have no idea why,” he said through a translator. “I was just having trouble getting my pitches where I wanted them that first inning.”

Lewis allowed three runs — two ear ned — and eight hits. He struck out seven, walked none and pitched around Wright’s leadoff double in the fifth, retiring his final six batters to protect a two-run lead.

The right-hander has lasted at least six innings in three straight starts, compiling 21 strikeouts and no walks during that stretch.

Shawn Tolleson escaped an eighth-inning jam after Texas tur ned Juan Lagares’ hard grounder into a double play.

Joakim Soria, pitching for the first time in six days, worked a one-hit ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances.

“We’re supposed to be winning more ballgames right now,” Beltre said. “All the injuries and stuff — we still have a pretty good team, and we shouldn’t be losing as much as we’ve been. No excuse.

We should be playing better, and that’s what we expect.”

Elvis Andrus and Rios hit consecutive doubles in the first to put Texas ahead. Colon had a chance to get out of the inning down by only one, but Chirinos drove a 1-2 pitch the other way to right-center for his eighth home run. He has six homers and 15 RBIs in his last 20 games.

Beltre, who also homered Friday in the Rangers’ first visit to Citi Field, made it 5-0 in the third with his sixth career home run off

Colon.

Curtis Granderson hit an RBI double, and Bobby Abreu had a run-scoring single in the bottom half, but Lewis limited the damage. With the bases loaded, Wright flied out to shallow center, Lucas Duda struck out, and Lagares grounded out.

“Just fell short tonight,” said d’Ar naud, who hit a leadof f homer in the fourth.

Chirinos was a bit shaken up in the fifth when a foul ball hit him in the mask. After a trainer and Washington came out for a look, Chirinos and his manager playfully shoved each other before the catcher returned to his spot behind the plate.

“We’re not out of this thing,” Lewis said. “It’s only the All-Star break, so you never know what can kind of happen.”

DENVER (AP) — Jorge De La Rosa sweated almost as much watching the Colorado bullpen preserve the win as he did earning it.

These days, nothing comes easy for the Rockies.

De La Rosa pitched six strong innings before giving way to a shaky bullpen and the Rockies snapped a five-game skid by holding off the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 8-7 on Saturday.

"We won and that's all that matters," De La Rosa said.

The Rockies are 3-16 since June 16 — with De La Rosa (9-6) accounting for every win. The lefty allowed two runs and three hits, all in the first inning. He then watched the bullpen almost completely unravel.

What looked like a blowout — Colorado led 8-2 — suddenly

turned into a game when the Dodgers scored five runs in the seventh. But Adam Ottavino put the brakes on the rally, with De La Rosa nervously watching on a television in the clubhouse.

"It was a tough situation, but we got out of there," said De La Rosa, who tied Jeff Francis for the second-most wins (64) in Rockies history.

Dan Haren (8-5) gave up a season-high eight runs in 5 1/3 innings while striking out eight.

He had a hard act to follow after teammate Clayton Kershaw's masterful performance the night before, when he allowed two hits in eight innings.

"I did my best, just didn't work out," Haren said.

Drew Stubbs hit a two-run homer, Corey Dickerson added a solo shot and Wilin Rosario con-

tributed two RBI singles as the Rockies ended a six-game slide against the Dodgers. The team was without NL hitting leader T roy Tulowitzki, who rested a tight groin for a second straight game.

Los Angeles took advantage of three hits and two errors in a tworun first. But De La Rosa was tricky to solve after that.

"He's just effectively wild," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly explained. "He makes you swing out of the strike zone because he's always kind of around it."

De La Rosa was taken out for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning after throwing 100 pitches.

The Dodgers immediately pounced on reliever Nick Masset, who gave up four runs and recorded no outs before departing with a tweaked left knee.

A rusty Boone Logan, who was activated from the 15-day disabled list Saturday, didn't fare much better, loading the bases without getting an out.

The booing began from the Coors Field crowd, which Rockies manager Walt Weiss fully understood.

"We have an 8-2 lead and looked like we had the game in hand," Weiss said. "It looked like it was slipping away in that seventh."

Enter Ottavino, who got Juan Uribe to hit into a double play.

After an intentional walk, Ottavino worked the Rockies out of the jam by striking out A.J. Ellis.

In the eighth, Ottavino escaped another sticky situation by striking out Yasiel Puig and getting Hanley Ramirez to ground out with Dee Gordon on second.

"T ried to bring everything I had," Ottavino said. "It worked out today."

Colorado had a chance to cushion its lead in the eighth, but Puig made a highlight catch in right.

He came in on a ball before realizing it was over his head. He dived backward to make the grab, quickly got up and rifled a throw to the infield, doubling up Rosario at third after the Rockies catcher tried to tag up.

LaTroy Hawkins pitched a perfect ninth for his 15th save in 16 chances.

"Luckily for us, we were able to hang on there," Stubbs said.

"Regardless if it's 8-7 or 8-2, a wins a win."

Rockies end five-game skid, hold off Dodgers, 8-7

Giants’ late-game homers lead to 5-3 win over Padres

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Although it is still early July, the importance of the San Francisco Giants' improbable win wasn't lost on the club.

Brandon Belt hit a tworun homer in the 10th inning, one inning after Michael Morse tied the game with a solo shot, to give the struggling Giants a 5-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.

The comeback win wasn't only unlikely, given that the Giants have scuffled offensively for nearly two weeks, but it was also unexpected because they rallied against Padres closer Huston Street, who has been nearly unbeatable for more than a year.

"We have been in a tough rut here," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Morse saved us, he saved our skin. You don't think that you're going to hit rock bottom, but that was a possibility today."

The Giants came in having lost 18 of 23 games, and had dropped 11 games in the standings to fall out of first place in the NL West behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The dramatic win is the

spark the Giants hope will lift them from their funk.

"Hopefully, this is some kind of momentum that we need," said Giants starter Tim Hudson. "We've needed a win like this for a while.

Hopefully, this is the start of something better than what's been going on."

San Francisco had been shut out in three of its previous five games and had scored more than two runs in just two of 11 games.

Belt, in his second game back from the disabled list, homered off Dale Thayer (3-3) after Hunter Pence legged out a double to lead off the inning. Belt, who missed 50 games with a broken thumb, hit his 10th homer of the season into the right-field stands.

"It felt good, sounded good, made me feel good," Belt said. "I was just happy because we needed a big hit. It was an exciting moment. It was nice to do something out there."

Before he homered, Belt was hitless in seven at-bats with one walk in his return.

Morse gave the Giants a huge lift with his homer leading off the ninth inning against Street to tie it 3-3.

That broke Street's streak of 23 consecutive saves, the longest run in the majors.

"His reaction was like it was a walkoff homer to win Game 7 of the World Series," Hudson said about Morse. "We haven't had that fun, that excitement, that youthful exuberance in a while."

Morse's homer was just the second blown save for Street since May 2013. The righty had converted 48 of 49 chances in that time.

"It's not about the streak," Street said. "It's never about the streak.

Tonight was just one blown save, one bad pitch. We had a win if I made a good pitch."

Sergio Romo (4-3), recently demoted from the closer role, earned the win.

Santiago Casilla got the final three outs for his second save in five chances.

San Diego's season-high, five-game winning streak was snapped.

After Joe Panik's sacrifice fly put San Francisco ahead 2-1 in the seventh, the Padres scored two runs in the bottom of the inning.

Mr Speaker pulls of 23-1 upset win in the Belmont Derby Invitational in N.Y.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mr Speaker pulled a 23-1 upset Saturday in the $1.25 million Belmont Derby Invitational for 3-year-olds on the turf.

The Belmont Derby, for merly known as the Jamaica Handicap during the fall meet, was the richest of five stakes on the inaugural “Stars and Stripes Day” at Belmont Park.

The Belmont Derby drew an international field but it the locally based Mr Speaker that took the prize. Mr Speaker made a bold run up the rail to edge Adelaide, based in Ireland, by a neck.

Jose Lezcano was aboard for trainer Shug McGaughey as Mr Speaker got his fourth victory in nine stars, paying $49 to win. The time was 2:01.18 for the 1 1/4 miles on the course rated good.

It was a strong bounce-back effort for Mr Speaker following a fifth-place finish in the Pennine Ridge Stakes

here in late May. “We changed our game plan,” McGaughey said. “I wanted him back and Jose rode a great race.”

Lezcano had a banner day, winning three stakes including the $500,000 Suburban Handicap with Zivo, another long shot.

The trip echoed the Belmont Derby as Zivo rallied up the fence to beat Moreno by three lengths. Zivo, 13-1, paid $29.40 to win. Zivo, a 5-year-old New York bred trained by Chad Brown, got his ninth win in 15 starts.

The time was 2:00.43 for the 1 1/4 miles.

Lezcano was part of history as Clearly Now won the $400,000 Belmont Sprint Championship beating Palace by 6 1/4 lengths in record time.

The 4-year -old trained by Brian Lynch ran seven furlongs in 1:19.96 on the fast track, erasing the mark of

1:20.17 set by Left Bank in 2002.

Clearly Now got his fifth win in 15 starts, paying $6.40 to win.

Minorette rallied to beat Sea Queen by two lengths in the $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational for 3-year-old fillies on the turf for Brown’s second stakes win of the day. Joel Rosario was aboard as Minorette paid $14.60 for her second win in seven starts.

The time was 2:01.64 for 1 1/4 miles Kid Cruz beat stablemate Captain Serious by three-quarters of a length in the $200,000 Dwyer Stakes for 3year-olds. Kid Cruz, trained by Linda Rice and ridden by Irad Ortiz, Jr., got his fifth win in eight starts. The entry returned $3.40 to win. The time was 1:41.12 for 1 1/16 miles.

sixth on Seth Smith's sacrifice fly with one out after consecutive singles by Brooks Conrad and Alexi Amarista to open the inning.

Gregor Blanco hit his first homer of the season to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the second.

Cuban defector Odrisamer Despaigne made his third career start for San Diego since being called up from the minors last month. The 27-year old right-hander, who beat

the Giants in his major league debut on June 23, wasn't as sharp this time.

He overcame four walks and allowed one run and two hits over six innings, his shortest outing. In three starts since coming up from the minors, Despaigne has an ERA of 1.41.

San Francisco third baseman Pablo Sandoval left the game in the first inning with a bruised left elbow after he swung and missed a pitch that hit him.

Hurley leads by two at Greenbrier Classic SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Billy Hurley III doesn’t plan to lose much rest sitting on a third-round lead for the first time on the PGA Tour.

The former U.S. Navy officer shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to extend his advantage to two strokes over Angel Cabrera entering the final round of the Greenbrier Classic.

“I’ve been working for a long time to win on the PGA Tour,” Hurley said. “I figure if I shoot the lowest score tomorrow, I can’t lose.”

Hurley never relinquished the lead he has held since midway through the second round at Old White TPC. He birdied the par-5 12th and par-4 13th before dropping a stroke on the par-3 15th.

He had a 12-under 198 total.

No third-round leader has won

the Greenbrier Classic, now in its fifth year. Playoffs have decided the tournament twice.

Cabrera shot 64. He’s looking for his first non-major win on the PGA Tour.

Kevin Chappell was third at 9 under after a 69. Steve Stricker had a 68 to top the group at 8 under.

There will be more than a trophy to raise and a $1.2 million winner’s check available Sunday.

The four best finishers not previously eligible for the British Open among the top 12 on the final leaderboard will earn spots in the July 17-20 tournament at Royal Liverpool.

Hurley finished his five-year Navy service in 2009 and would still be a naval officer if golf wasn’t keeping him busy. He returned to the PGA Tour this year after play-

ing on the Web.com Tour in 2013.

He said nerves won’t play a part in how he gets ready for what could be a memorable Sunday.

“I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing,” he said. “I just want to put my mind in position so that I can play well. I slept fine last night. The benefit of the Navy if you learn how to sleep anywhere.

I think I’ll sleep fine tonight, too.”

Cabrera wore an Argentine blue shirt in the third round and is riding his country’s momentum in the World Cup, including Saturday’s 1-0 win over Belgium to advance to the semifinal round.

“I was very happy when I found out they won,” Cabrera said, adding that he was equally as giddy when he started his round with four birdies on the first six holes.

Old White sets up nicely for

Cabrera’s long drives and he made four birdie putts of 19 feet or longer.

“I was able to get the speed of the greens, and that was the big difference,” Cabrera said.

At the Wells Fargo Championship in May, Cabrera was the second-round leader but closed with a pair of 75s.

Another under-par round Sunday would mark the first time that he has had four rounds in the 60s since the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship.

Chappell barely got anything going until making a 12-foot putt for birdie on the par-5 17th.

“I don’t think I’ve had my best ball-striking day yet,” he said.

“Hopefully, my putter gets hot and (it) should be fun.”

Joining Stricker in the group at 8 under were Michael Thompson

(64), Cameron Tringale (64), Will Wilcox (65), Joe Durant (66), Camilo Villegas (67) and Chris Stroud (70).

Stricker, in his eighth tour event this year, will compete next week at John Deere and is leaning against going to the British Open unless he has one or more high finishes before then.

The highlight of Stricker’s third round was a bending 42-foot putt for birdie on the first hole. He was 1 over on his round at the turn before making three birdies the rest of the day.

“Anything can happen and that’s the truth,” Stricker said.

“There are not a lot of guys in between me and the lead ... but there are a ton of guys right behind us. So anybody can come out of the pack here.”

Packers’ McCarthy putting Donaldson, Kazmir help down roots in Titletown A’s beat Blue Jays, 5-1 \GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — He might be a Chicago Bears fan, but Austin Scheutz proudly displays a Packers foam cheesehead at least once a year.

Signed by the Big Cheese himself in fact — Packers coach Mike McCarthy — while he visited a children’s hospital where the 6-yearold Scheutz was being treated for leukemia. After family and coaching, the hospital might be McCarthy’s biggest passion — even if it means running into the occasional Bears fan.

“That’s always an interesting conversation,” joked McCarthy about interactions with fans of the Packers’ bitter NFC North rival.

McCarthy, of course, is dressed in green Packers sweats after an offseason team workout.

One of the longesttenured coaches in the NFL is entering his ninth year in Green Bay and it sure looks like home. McCarthy’s roots in blue-collar western Pennsylvania have made him a sensible fit in the Upper Midwest, shaping everything from how he runs his team to how he spends his precious free time off the field.

McCarthy’s back story is familiar now in Wisconsin.

His father was a policeman and fireman. Family owned a bar near a steel mill.

Worked as a highway toll collector on the graveyard shift to make money while working as a volunteer assistant at the University of Pittsburgh.

He grew up watching the Pittsburgh Steelers while they were coached by Chuck Noll, who died last month.

“He was someone I like to emulate. I was a big fan as a kid,” McCarthy said. “After getting in to the coaching profession, I really appreciated him a lot more, his approach, his style, his humility. He seemed like a very consistent, tough champion.”

If that sounds like McCarthy, he would be pleased by the comparison.

The Packers have certainly been consistent under the offensive-minded McCarthy,

winning a Super Bowl in 2010 behind star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The defense, on the other hand, is undergoing another tweak after an injury-filled and subpar 2013 season.

Here’s where some of that blue-collar background comes in: McCarthy harps on work ethic, the “Packer Way.” Not just coach speak, his no-nonsense demeanor gives words more emphasis, sounding at times as if he just came off the second shift at the mill.

“Just talking with Mike today, you sense kind of the hunger that we have, which is exciting,” Rodgers said.

“The locker room is a little louder than maybe it’s been in the last few years, and I think that’s just an influx of energy that we have.”

McCarthy said a big part of growing up in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Greenfield was learning a work ethic, “the importance of outworking the next guy.

There’s definitely a fabric of toughness.”

“I think everything you do is part of who you are and where you come from, yeah,” McCarthy said in a recent interview at Lambeau Field.

Less immediately evident is the influence it’s had on McCarthy outside of the NFL spotlight. He’s one of five siblings in an Irish Catholic family. McCarthy has five children with his wife, Jessica, a teacher.

“She married more than a husband. She took the responsibility of this job and growing up in this town,” he said. “I look back on it, I put so much on her plate. ... She makes our family better each and every day.”

Having grown up in a city with well-known medical facilities, including a top children’s hospital, it makes sense that, McCarthy and his wife found the University of Wisconsin’s American Family Children’s Hospital to be a perfect fit as the cause for their family foundation.

It has raised about $1.5 million over the past five years for the UW hospital in Madison over the past five

years, helping fund a neonatal intensive care unit and other improvements.

Scheutz, who was diagnosed with leukemia, brought along his youth-sized cheesehead to his foundation’s recent dinner that preceded an annual golf tournament.

Austin, who is now in remission, first met McCarthy last year after the boy had relapsed, his mother, Kim, said. There’s now an exception to the antiPackers rules in the Scheutz household.

“We’re Bears fans, so Austin has been kind of trained — every time he sees Packers stuff he goes, ‘Boo, Packers,”’ she said. “But he loved Coach McCarthy.”

McCarthy shrugs off the praise.

“I believe in the phrase ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ When you’re a pillar in your village, you have a responsibility to make sure your village is intact,” said McCarthy, who played tight end at tiny Baker University in Kansas before beginning his three-decade climb up the coaching ranks.

Green Bay might be the smallest market in the NFL, but it’s a hardly a village. In Wisconsin, Titletown is the capital of Packers country.

A coaching lifer, McCarthy had a stop as an assistant in 1999 with the Packers that he said helped him understand the fabric of Green Bay. Similarities to the Steelers, another marquee NFL team, were immediately evident.

He still swoons over his mother’s pierogies. Right about now, he could go for one of those Pittsburgh-style sandwiches stuffed with french fries.

But only if he can get it delivered to Green Bay. He’s not planning on going anywhere any time soon.

“Let’s be honest — it’s about winning, so that’s really what it comes down to. I always felt very comfortable here. I loved the town. I like the pace of Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Midwest,” McCarthy said. “This is definitely my preference.”

Weidman beats Machida

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Chris Weidman unanimously outpointed L yoto Machida at UFC 175 on Saturday night to retain his middlewieght title.

Weidman improved to 120, with the three judges scoring it 49-46, 49-45, 4847. Machida fell to 21-5.

In the co-main event, women's bamtamwieght champion Ronda Rousey stopped Alexis Davis at 16 seconds of the first round.

Rousey improved to 10-0 — all by knockout — with her fourth consecutive title defense.

Rousey rocked Davis with a solid right, secured an immediate judo toss and landed nine punches, knocking out Davis and forcing the referee to stop

the fight.

Weidman and Machida landed big shots in the first round, with neither taking time to feel out their opponent out. Weidman pressed forward for most of the second round, keeping Machida on his heels and got a takedown against the fence with just under a minute left. Weidman was able to land a few shots to the grounded Machida and two knees as he rose just before the bell.

Machida's awkward style and solid kicks kept Weidman's offense in check for most of the first half of the fight. Weidman opened things up in the third round, slamming Machida twice and landing two big straight rights that stunned

the challenger and sent him into survival mode.

Machida stuffed most of Weidman's takedown attempts throughout the fight and dazed the champ with a straight left halfway through the fourth round.

Machida added a few kicks and punches to clearly gain the momentum in what was his best round.

In the fifth round, both fighters landed multiple power shots and both were hurt. Weidman seemed to take control of the round with a late takedown, but Machida fought back and had the champ in trouble against the cage as the final bell sounded.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Josh Donaldson hit a home run, Scott Kazmir allowed three hits over seven innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Saturday night.

Coco Crisp, Craig Gentry and Jed Lowrie drove in runs for the A's, who won their third straight and seventh of 10 overall.

Kazmir (10-3) won for the fifth time in his last six decisions. He walked two and struck out eight, improving to 6-1 in eight home starts.

Edwin Encarnacion drove in a run in the first inning for the Blue Jays and then had to leave the game with right quad soreness.

Mark Buehrle (10-6) pitched well but remained winless in six starts since June 1. He gave up three runs and 10 hits over six innings. Buehrle walked one and struck out three. He had a four -game winning streak against the A's end.

On a day when the A's traded for two top pitchers, they turned to their steady veteran to extend their hold as the AL's best

pitching staff.

Kazmir retired 20 of 23 hitters after giving up singles to Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera to start the game.

Encarnacion was hurt beating out a possible double play ball, allowing Reyes to score and putting the Blue Jays ahead.

Encarnacion stepped on the first base bag, limped for a few steps and then tumbled to the ground.

Donaldson hit his 19th home run of the season, a solo shot over the fence in center field with two outs in the third to tie the game.

Crisp and Gentry hit bloop singles into right field that scored runs in the fourth.

Lowrie added an RBI double in the eighth.

He later scored on a passed ball.

Cabrera, who had two hits, was thrown out at the plate to end the eighth. A review upheld the decision.

The Blue Jays are 2-7 over their past nine games and have dropped five straight on the road.

Rain delays Coke Zero 400 race at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The day race at Daytona Inter national Speedway ended up at night.

And now the night race will go off during the day.

Steady rain forced NASCAR to postpone the Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. It’s the second race at Daytona this year delayed by rain. The season-opening Daytona 500 was stopped for more than six hours because of rain and ended under the lights.

“We seem to have a little bad luck with the weather,” said Joie Chitwood III, the track president. “We had it in February and we have it

right now.”

The Coke Zero 400 will start at 11 a.m. Sunday, about 14 hours after officials postponed the event.

The forecast calls for more rain Sunday, but Chitwood said scheduling an early start gives NASCAR a “bigger window of time to get it in.”

The race was supposed to start at 7:57 p.m. Saturday, but showers soaked the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway and forced officials to delay the green flag and eventually postpone the race.

This is the fourth Cup race affected by rain this season and the second to be postponed a day. Bristol also was affected by rain,

and Texas was delayed a day.

Despite the latest washout, Chitwood does not want the race moved from its traditional Saturday night spot around the July Fourth holiday. The race has been run in that spot for 27 years, and prior to that, it went on the annual holiday itself.

Chitwood was reminded of what a rain-free event looked like as he watched a replay of last year’s Coke Zero 400 during Saturday’s delay.

“The crowd was fantastic and the weather was good and we gave the fans a heck of a show,” he said. “I think July Fourth weekend is a great time.”

Time for Anthony to decide after visiting all cities’ teams

NEW YORK (AP) — The Knicks went coast to coast to let Carmelo Anthony know they want him to stay in New York.

Team officials traveled to Los Angeles on Thursday night to meet with the free agent and offered him the maximum contract allowable, a person with knowledge of the details said.

Team President Phil Jackson and general manager Steve Mills were part of the meeting but not Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, an official with knowledge of the plans told The Associated Pr ess on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting were to remain private.

The meeting was first r eported by ESPN. Anthony was in Los Angeles to meet with the Lakers, who ar e among the teams hoping to convince the All-Star forward to leave New York. Anthony already visited Chicago, Houston and Dallas this week.

The Knicks can offer him the largest contract, nearly $130 million over five years, though Jackson has said he hopes Anthony would take less than a maximum deal. Anthony had previously said he would be willing to do so if it would help build a winning team, but the Knicks have made it clear the money

won't be an object.

Other teams can offer Anthony slightly

less than $100 million in a four -year

deal, according to NBA rules.

Contracts can't be signed until July 10,

so Anthony is under no rush to make a

decision. But the Knicks apparently wanted to make sure they got to make a

final pitch after his free agency tour.

Jackson, Mills and new coach Derek

Fisher had already met with Anthony last

month in Los Angeles, where he informed

them he would be terminating the final

year of his contract and becoming a free

agent.

He has never said he wants to leave the

Knicks, who acquired him from Denver in

a February 2011 trade. But the 30-yearold forward also said his priority is con-

tending for championships, and the

Knicks were just 37-45 last season, the

first time in Anthony's 11-year career

that he missed the playoffs.

OBITUARIES

Roswell Daily Record

Walter Dean Myers, children’s author, dies at 76 NEW YORK (AP) — Walter Dean Myers, a best-selling and prolific children’s author and tireless champion of literacy and education, has died. He was 76.

Myers, a longtime resident of Jersey City, New Jersey, died Tuesday at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan after a brief illness, publisher HarperCollins announced.

A onetime troublemaker who dropped out of high school, the tall, soft-spoken Myers spent much of his adult life writing realistic and accessible stories about crime, war and life in the streets. He completed more than 100 books, his notable works including “Monster” and “Lockdown,” and was the rare author — black or white — to have a wide following among middle-school boys.

Widely loved in the literary community and a leading advocate for diversity in children’s books, he was a three-time National Book Award nominee and received five Coretta Scott King awards for African-American fiction. In 2012-13, he served as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, a position created in part by the Library of Congress.

He was an unofficial ambassador well before that, visiting schools and prisons and libraries around the country.

“This is a huge, huge loss,” said the current ambassador, “The Tale of Despereaux” author Kate DeCamillo, who fondly remembered the emails he would send her. “They would always start with, ‘Hello, love,’ and he would advise me about being an ambassador and make sure I was writing, too.”

Myers’ books were usually narrated by teenagers trying to make right choices when the wrong ones were so much easier. There was the 17-year-old hiding from the police in “Dope Sick,” or the boarding school student in “The Beast” who learns

“There were two very distinct voices going on in my head and I moved easily between them,” Myers wrote in his memoir, “Bad Boy,” which came out in 2001.

“One had to do with sports, street life and establishing myself as a male. ... The other voice, the one I had from my street friends and teammates, was increasingly dealing with the vocabulary of literature.”

schools, Stuyvesant. But he was also shy, too poor to afford new clothes and unable to keep up with the work. Myers began skipping school for weeks at a time and never graduated.

“I know what falling of f the clif f means,” he told The Associated Press in 2011. “I know from being considered a very bright kid to being considered like a moron and dropping out of school.”

He served three years in the military, and later was employed as a factory worker, a messenger on Wall Street and a construction worker. Anxious to be a writer after reading James Baldwin, he contributed to Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery magazine and numerous sports publications. His first book — “Where Does the Day Go?” — was published in 1969 after he won a contest for children’s literature by people of color.

His visits with students and inmates not only gave him the chance to help others straighten out their lives, but also inspired some of his work. “Lockdown,” a National Book Award finalist, began after Myers met a kid who was afraid to get out of jail because he would only get in trouble again. For “Monster,” he remembered a boy who would talk about the crimes he committed in the third person, as if someone else had committed them.

“Then I found out that all the guys could do that. They could separate themselves from their crimes,” Myers told the AP. “We come up with strategies for dealing with our lives and my strategy might be different because my life has been different.”

Myers’ novel “On a Clear Day” is scheduled to come out in September.

Only road onto NC island reopens after Arthur

Roswell Daily Record

KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s popular beach towns began retur ning to the business of recreation Saturday, after Arthur lashed the state’s coast with forceful winds and heavy rain and then chur ned northward without leaving a trail of significant damage.

Arthur was downgraded to a tropical storm early Saturday, but the storm’s near -hurricane strength winds slammed into Canada’s maritime provinces, causing about 250,000 customers to lose power.

The stor m has caused flight cancellations and delays at the region’s largest airport in Halifax, while flooding some local roads in New Brunswick.

New England was largely spared from damage spawned by the storm, but some 19,000 people in Maine and 1,600 in Vermont were without power after high winds and heavy rains pounded the region. There were reports of localized flooding in coastal areas of Massa-

chusetts and the Nova Star Ferry suspended service Friday and Saturday morning because of dangerous seas. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

The hurricane’s effects in North Carolina were mostly confined to Hatteras and Ocracoke islands, and some vacationers were already back on beaches to the north and south on Friday. But the ocean chur ned by Arthur remained dangerous Saturday with the risk of rip currents able to wash the strongest swimmer to sea. That didn’t stop thousands of people from enjoying the sun and sand and leaving lifeguards to remind beachgoers of the danger.

“We’re going to try to keep people out of the water and keep them safe,” said David Elder, lifeguard supervisor for the town of Kill Devil Hills.

“However, if conditions abate, I’d be glad to drop” the no-swimming warning.

More than 600 of the 700 lifeguard rescues by

Nonprofits help the dying make farewell videos

SCARSDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Carolyn Ngbokoli doesn’t remember the sound of her mother’s voice. She was just 19 when her mom died, and no recordings were left.

Now Ngbokoli, 37, faces the possibility of her own early death, from breast cancer. But she has made sure that her sons, 4 and 6 years old, can see how she loved them, hear how she spoke to them and be reminded of her advice to them long after she’s gone.

With the no-cost help of an organization called Thru My Eyes, Ngbokoli, of White Plains, recorded a video of memories and guidance.

“I want to be able to tell my boys as much as I can and leave them something to look back on,” she said.

Leaving a farewell video isn’t new — Michael Keaton did it in a 1993 movie called “My Life” — but it is evolving beyond the version in which a dying person talks to an unmanned camera on a tripod or spends hundreds of dollars for a videographer who also records weddings and bar mitzvahs.

Thru My Eyes, based in Scarsdale, and Memories Live, of Milburn, New Jersey, are among the nonprofits filling a niche in which people with terminal diagnoses — usually cancer -stricken parents with young children — get emotional as well as technical support, for free.

Elder’s department last year were required because of rip currents, he said.

The only road onto Hatteras Island was reopened to all traffic on Saturday afternoon, hours after permanent residents were first allowed to return. The island had been closed to visitors since early Thursday. With many weeklong cottage rentals running Saturday to Saturday, local businesses were hoping to salvage the second half of the holiday weekend.

A small section of fragile North Carolina Highway 12 buckled after being submerged by churning waters during the Category 2 hurricane. Officials also tested the two-milelong Bonner Bridge onto the island to ensure it was safe for traffic. The road also suf fered extensive flooding in some areas and officials warned drivers to watch for pockets of sand on the highway.

damaged by Arthur, leading officials to order residents to quit using air conditioners and water heaters so that generatorsupplied power could provide refrigeration and other necessities during a cycle of planned outages.

A nightly curfew between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. was

declared until power was fully restored. Vacationers were being coaxed to leave with the offer of free ferry rides out.

Parts of Rodanthe and Salvo were flooded on Friday across nearly the entire width of Hatteras Island from the ocean to the sound. Trailers top-

pled in campgrounds where they were left, pictures from a Coast Guard helicopter that flew over the island showed.

Josh Fiscus was still cleaning up the mess at his Salvo home Saturday.

“We had about two feet of water here in my garage,” he said.

at New York’s Presbyterian Hospital, has sent half a dozen patients to Thru My Eyes, which was founded by a cancer survivor.

“Every single one has said it’s a wonderful experience,” she said. “What makes this different is the deep support from the videographers. These people know illness, they know cancer. They know how to around schedule chemotherapy weeks.”

Ngbokoli found the production to be an emotional process.

“There were times when I was laughing about funny things that happened to us,” Ngbokoli said. “But then there were times when it was torturous, where I had to look in the camera and say, ‘If you’re watching this and I’m not here.”’

Carri Rubenstein, 61, is the co-founder and president of Thru My Eyes, which has completed more than 40 videos. A cancer survivor herself, she was inspired when she heard a friend with a bad diagnosis wish aloud a few years ago that she could find someone to help her make a video for her family.

Rubenstein wanted to make it a free service, so with the help of her lawyer husband, she formed the not-for-profit. She accepts donations and holds fundraisers.

At first, Rubenstein went to hospitals “looking for business,” she said. Now she’s getting calls from across the country.

McCartney returns to stage after hospitalization

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Paul McCartney returned to a concert stage Saturday after being sidelined for two months because of a virus, spinning out songs from the Beatles, Wings and a solo career that has spanned more than 50 years of rock ‘n’ roll.

“It’s great to be back,” said McCartney, who turned 72 two weeks ago.

He looked none the worse for wear, putting on a show of just under three hours with 38 songs before finishing with the three-song medley that ends the “Abbey Road” album.

McCartney was briefly hospitalized in Tokyo in

May because of the viral infection. The illness forced him to cancel a Japanese tour and a concert in South Korea and reschedule half a dozen June dates in the United States before resuming his “Out There” tour in Albany.

Before his illness, McCartney last performed May 1 in Costa Rica.

McCartney opened with the Beatles’ “Eight Days a Week.” He wore black jeans and a sky blue blazer.

When he took the jacket off four songs in, he joked that it was the only wardrobe

former songwriting partner John Lennon, which McCartney described as the conversation they never had. He began playing George Harrison’s song “Something” on the ukulele, and it built into a full band rendition.

McCartney also honored another late rock star, Jimi Hendrix, with an instrumental interlude of “Purple Haze.”

McCartney’s wife, Nancy, was on hand and he dedicated the song “My Valentine” to her. Perhaps one oblique reference to his

joked.

It’s a busy year for McCartney, who marked the 50th anniversary of his first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” this winter, which marked the beginning of Beatlemania in the United States. He has 19 U.S. shows scheduled, including one at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, where the Beatles made their final concert appearance in 1966.

The other surviving exBeatle, Ringo Starr, is also on the road this summer.

R&B singer Tevin Campbell performs at Essence fest

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — R&B singer Tevin Campbell, who thrilled fans as a teenager when he asked “Can We Talk,” is performing for the first time at the Essence Festival as he seeks to re-ignite his career.

Campbell said he’s 37 now, but the voice that started him on his journey at age 11 is still with him.

Fans can expect to hear all his classics during his Saturday night set inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Campbell said he hopes to excite old fans and cultivate new ones who may not be familiar with hits that include “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “I’m Ready.”

“Everyone has that one song that’s ‘their’ song and they want to hear it, so we plan to accommodate them, but I might throw in some new stuff too,” he said.

At an appearance last month in New York, Campbell gave the audience a taste of one his new songs, “Addicted to Your Love” and received what he described as positive feedback. “I mostly get asked, ‘Where have you been?’ and they’ll also say I look great and sound great — even though I’m all grown up,” he said Campbell said he’s currently recording and working with a bunch of different people, including production from Teddy Riley and singer Faith Evans. He said his dream collaborations would be with rapper Drake, Neo and T-Pain and duets with Beyonce or Rihanna.

“There’s always a place for great music,” he said. “I think the music is a mix of everything I like from rock to rap but at my core, I’m R&B so it’s R&B,” he said.

He hopes to have two singles drop by the fall, with a full release sometime next year.

Tee time for kids at Pecos Valley

Children practice their swing as coaches look on at the Pecos Valley First Tee in June. Children practiced playing golf after sitting in classes and learning the finer things about the sport.

Burson often volunteers with First Tee.

The Roswell-based First Tee of Southeastern New Mexico is expanding its footprint across the region, expanding its mission of bringing golf and life skills to children ages 5 to 17.

“We were First Tee of Pecos Valley, now we are First Tee of Southeastern New Mexico,” said Adrienne Fields, program director.

First Tee is a national program, Fields said, and First Tee not only brings the national golf First Tee program to Roswell children, both through summer camps and through after school programs, but also into the public schools through the National School Program.

But First Tee is about a lot more than just hitting golf balls. “Golf is the vehicle we use to deliver life-skills training,” Fields said. During the summer camps, which began in June, students spend a third of their time in the classroom, and the rest of the time out on the golf course.

The program’s philosophy is that positive youth development happens through a meaningful, quality relationship between the coach and the participant. Young people do not care what a coach knows until they know a coach cares, Fields said. The First Tee philosophy is implemented through four building blocks — Activity-based, Mastery-driven, Empower Youth and Continuous Learning.

The Roswell program is nearly 10 years old, and it is housed on the New Mexico Military Institute’s campus, in a building located on the golf course.

Fields began working with First Tee five years ago, and became the executive director of the program three years ago, she said.

The program started with 100 kids, and now it is expected to impact the lives of 4,500 children in 2014, Fields said.

“Our mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices though the game of golf,” she said.

The heart of the life-skills training is teaching the young golfers the nine First Tee core values, Fields said. Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy and Judgment are those precepts, and the children are taught to apply those values not only to the sport of golf, but to everyday life.

“We’ll take a value, like perseverance, and ask the child, ‘What does that mean to playing golf?’ Then we’ll ask them, ‘How does that apply to your

life?’ And they will think about what not giving up means to them,” Fields said. “For example, when they have a hard subject in school, instead of quitting, they might just keep trying until they succeed.”

The First Tee program, established by the World Golf Foundation, began in 1997. First Tee started as an initiative to create affordable access for those not previously exposed to the game of golf. Over the years, it has become a leading youth development organization.

First Tee of Southeastern New Mexico not only serves Roswell children, but also has classes in Artesia and Hobbs. The program is also growing in Deming and Loving as well.

One of the goals is to keep the cost of the program low, Fields said, and scholarships are also offered to children.

“We want to reach children of all economic backgrounds,” she said.

On Aug. 9, the ninth annual First Tee of Southeastern New Mexico Golf Tournament will be held. The golf tournament is an important fundraiser for the local First Tee program, and Roswell Toyota Scion and Navajo Refining Co. sponsors the tournament.

“This year we are celebrating a major milestone in the program,” said Jerry Childress, tournament director. “With the expansion of our programs throughout Southeastern New Mexico, our organization has been approved for operations in new program locations in the region as well as the new name, The First Tee of Southeastern New Mexico.”

Childress said this year’s tournament would serve to launch the expansion and evolution of the chapter.

“This is our major fundraiser and all of the proceeds from the tournament will go directly to the program,” Childress said. “Our goal is to raise $30,000.”

“I can’t say enough about our sponsors, Roswell Toyota and Navajo Refining,” Fields said. “They have just been wonderful, and what they do means so much to us and to the program. They are just amazing.”

Roswell Daily Record

Grandparents should not be used as stand-in parents Q: Our son and his wife both work and have extremely busy lives — probably too busy. My husband and I frequently take care of our grandchildren so that their mom and dad can keep their hectic pace.

We love being with the kids, but do you think this is a healthy arrangement?

Jim: You obviously love your grandkids, and there’s nothing wrong with intergenerational cooperation. It’s a good thing for family members to help one another as needs arise. But a great deal depends on the attitudes and expectations of your son and his wife. If you’re feeling unappreciated, put upon or taken advantage of -- even just a little bit -then it’s safe to say that something needs to change.

If you want your interactions with your son, his wife and your grandchildren to remain positive, I’d encourage you to establish appropriate boundaries.

Arrangements like yours usually work best when everyone agrees on some specific limitations. For example, you can say, “We’ll keep the kids two afternoons a week until your graduate coursework is finished in December.” If things remain vague and open-ended, it’s only a matter

of time until you’ll begin to resent it.

If you’re finding it difficult to set reasonable boundaries, it’s possible that you’re operating on the basis of a guilty sense of obligation or your own codependent needs. Neither leads to healthy relationships. It’s also important to remember that while grandparents have a critical role to play in the lives of their grandkids, it’s best under normal circumstances that they not take on the role of primary caregivers. That’s the parents’ job.

If you honestly feel that Mom and Dad are missing out on opportunities to strengthen their connection with their own children, it may be best for everyone if you don’t make yourselves so available.

Q: My 14-year -old daughter tells us that all her friends are dating now and that waiting until she’s 16, like we did, is very “outdated.” We haven’t budged yet on letting her start dating, but my wife and I are questioning if we’re being too strict. What do you think?

Dr. Greg Smalley, Vice President, Family Ministries: My first suggestion would be to put less stock in age. Birthdays are legal milestones when it comes to a teen driving a car or casting a vote, but they’re an unreliable measure of maturity. When it comes to our sons and daughters dating, character is king.

At this point, invite your daughter on a date for some ice cream. After you’ve broken the ice, bring up the subject of dating. Once you’ve respectfully listened to her thoughts, tell her how special she is and that you want only good experiences for her when it comes time for her to date. Let her know you’ll be observing her (and anyone she goes out with) for evidence of key maturity markers that will indicate she’s ready.

Let her know what’s on your list, such as integrity, trustworthiness, respect for herself and others, honesty and responsi-

bility. Spell out what these qualities look like, and give both positive reinforcement and corrective feedback based on what you see in the coming months.

That said, you still would be wise to institute some age-related restrictions.

Consider limiting opposite-sex interactions to mixed-group settings, such as a church youth group, until your daughter has turned 17. This can offer a more secure environment and allow boys and girls the opportunity to learn how to relate and enjoy one another’s company without the awkwardness and sexual tension that often goes along with unsupervised dates.

Above all, keep the lines of communication open. The teen years aren’t simple, but your daughter needs you now more than ever.

Ban on senior center lifted; lawsuit pending?

EDGEWOOD — It took months to grow into a fullblown controversy, but the Tijeras village council settled the matter in less than five minutes last week, voting to lift the ban from the senior center and not pursue charges against Floy Watson in what she refers to as “the great scrapbook caper.”

The whole meeting took about 10 minutes.

A week earlier, two callers to The Independent had complained that they had tried to get on the agenda to speak but were told they could not do so.

This was confir med, although The Independent never got an answer from the village as to why.

More than 50 people showed up to the meeting, many wearing stickers on their shirts saying “Justice for Floy.”

After some discussion about whether to proceed with the meeting, even though the village’s lawyer was not present, all councilors except Jake Bruton said they wanted to proceed.

Bruton said that councilors had an email from

the village’s new attorney advising them against going forward with the meeting without legal representation present. “By allowing [Watson] back into the center it almost makes out like we were wrong in ever banning her from the center in the first place,” he added.

He acknowledged that the process would be expensive and would take several years to redact personal information from previous files and keep up with current files.

There were only two action items on the meeting’s agenda: “review and approve pursuing case against Floy Watson” and “review and approve banning of Floy Watson from Senior Center.”

Councilor Don Johnson made his own motion, however, when he said, “Mayor, I make a motion not to pursue any legal against Floy Watson,” which was seconded by David Wilson.

Bruton then said, “So I saw the video and it does look like Floy did remove the books from the senior center. I guess what’s in question here is, are the books the senior center’s?

What proof do we have either way?”

No answer was forthcoming.

Council votes to move court out of City Hall

LORDSBURG — Municipal Court will soon be relo-

cating, thanks to a decision by the City Council.

Lordsburg Mayor Clark Smith asked the council for direction after he says he was approached about moving Municipal Court out of City Hall. Councilor Manuel D.V. Saucedo made a motion to move the agency to its previous location on Main Street, behind the Chamber of Commerce. He justified the move by indicating that the City could use the office space, adding that he would like to see the proposed building, which now sits empty, being used.

Councilor Irene Galvan was the lone dissenter, saying she did not see the feasibility of the move. Other councilors, including Saucedo and Alfredo Morelos, said the new location will offer more discretion and privacy to those who must visit the

court.

Smith anticipated the move to be complete within a couple of months.

Officer Jeremy Apodaca fired a single shot into Victor Villalpando’s upper abdomen after Villalpando drew and pointed the cap gun at him and fellow officer Richard Trujillo, according to reports.

Villalpando, 16, called 911 to report himself on the day of the shooting. He identified himself as “James” and said a man with a gun and stick

was running around, hitting himself and screaming, E911 Dispatch Center logs state.

He also told dispatchers a “crazy kid” was in front of the Lovin’ Oven and it looked like he had a gun in his hand, as well as the green stick.

After Villalpando was shot, he fell to the ground and continued to wave the cap gun at the officers, who ordered him to drop it, Det. Cpl. Solomon Romero said at the time. Romero watched a high-definition surveillance footage of the entire incident.

County OKs indigent health care funding

FORT SUMNER — The De Baca County Commission reluctantly approved a contribution of one-twelfth of a percent of its indigent care

gross receipts tax to be contributed to the state’s Safety Net Health Pool.

A mandate approved by the 2014 Legislature, the Safety Net Pool skims a portion of county’s indigent health care fund to the state’s indigent health care fund to make payments to hospitals.

The transfer of the funds from New Mexico counties provides $34.7 million, which will be combined with general fund money of $9 million and $14 million from the New Mexico Health Sciences Center. The combined funds are needed for approximately $190 million in payments to hospitals.

Currently, the County utilizes its indigent fund almost exclusively to pay area providers for the medical care of inmates housed in the De Baca County Jail.

C4 Sunday, July 6, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I am an ophthalmologist, and all too often I see patients who have already lost some of their vision because they waited too long to schedule an appointment for an eye exam. Many times the reason was limited insurance or they couldn’t afford the co-pay.

After helping nearly 1.8 million people, EyeCare America, a public service program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, continues to match eligible sen-

iors in need with volunteer ophthalmologists who provide a medical eye exam — and up to one year of care — at no out-ofpocket cost to the patient.

This July, as we celebrate our country’s independence, invite your readers to also celebrate their personal independence by getting regular eye exams, especially as they age. Many eye diseases develop later in life. In fact, one in six people age 65 and older has a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

Please help to save your readers from the falls, injuries, depression and social isolation that are associated with vision loss and join me in spreading the word about EyeCare America. Thank you for your help.

CHARLES P. WILKINSON, M.D., CHAIR, EYECARE AMERICA

DEAR DR. WILKINSON: You’re welcome. But I am the

COMICS

one who should thank you and the other members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology for their generosity in offering this program to seniors nationwide.

Readers, this is important and I know the need is great. To find out if you or your loved ones qualify for this program, visit www.eyecareamerica.org.

(The online application does not request financial information.) ##### DEAR ABBY: My in-laws are pressuring me to let them take our small children for overnights and trips around the city. I’m extremely uncomfortable about it because I don’t trust their supervision.

They obviously love the kids, and I’m happy they’re in our children’s lives — as long as they come to our house to visit.

There have been several instances in which they made some questionable decisions

with respect to supervising my little ones in public. I have so far successfully dodged their requests, but it will be impossible to do it forever. If I tell them how I — and their son — feel, they will be hurt, especially because my parents routinely watch the kids outside our home.

What’s the best way to handle this with the least hurt feelings?

— ST. LOUIS MOMMY

Family Circus

DEAR MOMMY: This is something you and your husband will have to discuss with his parents TOGETHER. If you do it alone, you will forever be blamed for “favoring” your family over his. When the discussion happens, you should cite your reasons for feeling the way you do. I can’t promise there won’t be hurt feelings, because there probably already are, but your children’s safety must come first.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about cluttered television screens: “My Sound Off is cluttered-up TV screens. Why do stations run messages across the bottom of the screen, such as upcoming shows, viewer comments, etc.? If it is not a national disaster, I don’t want to know about it. Also, the station logo runs continuously in the corner, as though I don’t know what channel I’m watching. I have missed things that were important to the program I was watching (such as quiz-show answers). Does this annoy others as well?”

Gloria R., Highland, Ind.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Yes, it does! TV screens can get very cluttered! I understand the need for some of it, but unfortunately, it’s the way things are now!

My hint? I “record the show” and watch it a few minutes “behind” the live broadcast so I can dismiss that stuff and go back if I missed something.

Dear Readers: A few Heloise hints to fix clothing in an emergency situation: * A stapler can fix a hem or seam that comes undone. * Safety pins can pin buttons back on or close a small hole. * Use a rubber band looped through buttonholes to extend a waistband. * Clear nail polish on snagged panty hose will keep it from running more.

Dear Heloise: My suggestion is about keeping a birdbath clean. I enjoy watching the robins take their bath every day, but they really muddy up the water. I find that the best thing to use to scrub out the birdbath every day is an old toilet brush.

Then the water is clean, and I can watch the birds have their drink.

Irene in Glendive, Mont.

This is a great hint to keep the birdbath clean, which is important. Please be sure that the brush is absolutely clean of any cleaning products! To give the birdbath a little deeper clean, try sprinkling some baking soda in it, and add a little water. Scrub with the brush and rinse very well. Do this once or twice a week, and you will have a sparkling birdbath. Baking soda is a wonderful, nontoxic product that can be used in many ways. To find out the other green ways to use baking soda, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes. To receive it, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. When doing any work outdoors, sprinkle a little baking soda on your feet before putting your socks and shoes on to keep them fresh.

Dear Heloise: Before I put a screw anchor in the wall, I add a little glue to it.

Then I put the anchor in the drywall and the screw in. The glue helps the whole thing be a little more secure.
