The Chaves County Commission has joined several other southeastern New Mexico communities that have committed financial backing for air service between Roswell and Phoenix.

The county commissioners on Friday approved a resolution supporting air service between Phoenix Sky Harbor Inter national Airport and Roswell International Air Center.

The county commispledged sioners $50,000 a year for two years to the project, with quarterly obligations of $12,500.

The Chaves County Commission joins the Eddy County Commission and the cities of Artesia and Ruidoso, which have also pledged their financial support.

The city of Roswell, which is leading the air service effort and is the project’s fiscal agent, and the city of Carlsbad are expected to chip in soon.

John Mulcahy, president of the Roswell Chaves County Economic Development Corp., gave an update of the effort to establish air service between the Alien Capital of the World and the Valley of the Sun at Tuesday’s quarterly meeting of the RCCEDC.

executives.

“American hasn’t signed onto the ter m sheet yet,” Mulcahy said.

If the proposed terms of agreement are approved by the airlines, air service between Roswell and Phoenix would be established between April 15 and 30.

“It could happen at any minute,” Mulcahy said Tuesday of the proposed agreement.

“They’ve got a copy on their desk.”

“Everybody here is going on vacation to

Phoenix,” Mulcahy joked to members of the RCCEDC. “We’re all going to need to step up and jump on this as a region.”

In total, Chaves and Eddy counties and the cities of Roswell, Artesia, Carlsbad and Ruidoso have formally or informally committed $750,000 to the project over two years as a minimum revenue guarantee, Mulcahy said.

The city of Hobbs was not approached in the Phoenix-Roswell project because that city is not

in the catchment area, Mulcahy explained.

Mulcahy said he and former RCCEDC chairmen Bill Armstrong and Jon Hitchcock made presentations in each of the communities. Mulcahy said they encountered “zero resistance.”

“There was not a single instance I can think of where somebody said: ‘Is this a good idea?’” Mulcahy said.

“No one has said it’s too much money or anything like it.”

As flood water recedes in southeastern NMDOH confirms NM, officials get a first look at damage first West Nile death CARLSBAD (AP) — Flood waters were beginning to recede across southeastern New Mexico on Tuesday, allowing emergency management officials their first look at some of the damage caused by days of heavy rain.

Eddy County officials said the damage is significant in some areas, but it’s too soon to place a dollar figure on it.

“We’re starting to do some damage assessment of the roads and lowwater crossings. We’re not able to open any roads yet,” said Joel Arnwine of the Eddy County Office of Emergency Management.

He warned residents to abide by the road closure signs for their own safety.

Some residents were forced from their homes early Monday due to flooding along the Pecos River near Carlsbad.

reported Carlsbad received a total of 2.7 inches of rain from Sunday to Monday and more than 8 inches since last Thursday. Areas outside

SANTA FE — The New Mexico Department of Health announced Tuesday that an 89-year -old man from Lea County has died from West Nile virus infection. This is the first fatality due to West Nile virus in New Mexico in 2014. The man had encephalitis, the more severe clinical form of the disease, and had been hospitalized. Eight cases of West Nile virus infection have been confirmed in the state this year.

Cases this year have also been confirmed in a 45-year -old woman from San Juan County; a 7year-old boy from De Baca County; a 41-year -old woman from Quay County; a 73-year -old man from Doña Ana County; a 74year-old woman from Grant County; a 67-year -old woman from Quay County; and a 40-year-old woman from Sandoval County.

Four of these cases developed the more severe neu-

rologic form of West Nile virus infection and all of these cases are recovering.

“West Nile virus infection can potentially lead to serious complications in anyone who gets infected; but it’s especially true for people older than 50,” said Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward, MPH. “It’s important that everyone take the appropriate precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites.”

People become infected with West Nile virus from the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms usually start from 2 to 14 days later. Common West Nile virus symptoms are fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. In rare cases, West Nile virus can cause meningitis or encephalitis. If someone has these symptoms, they should see their health care provider. People 50 years and older are at most risk

Roswell Police were investigating a suspicious fire and possible arson at the intersection of Hendricks Street and Wyoming Avenue on Tuesday. The suspect was badly burned and was flown out of town for medical treatment, according to Officer L.J. Harrell, police spokesman. Harrell said police do not think this fire was connected with the spree of automobile arsons that have occurred in recent weeks.

for serious disease from West Nile virus.

“Mosquito populations are high throughout the state due to the large amounts of rainfall, and everyone should assume that some of these mosquitoes are carrying West Nile virus,” said Dr. Paul Ettestad, the Department’s public health veterinarian. “September is one of the peak months for West Nile virus cases in New Mexico, so we’re asking everyone to be mindful of the risks and take the necessary precautions to avoid mosquito bites.”

To protect yourself from West Nile virus: • Use insect repellent on exposed skin and clothing when you go outdoors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends repellents containing DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535 for use on skin, and permethrin for use on clothing. Always follow label directions when using insect repellents.

• When weather permits, wear protective clothing such as loosefitting, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks.

the parent company of regional carrier American Eagle, requires a minimum revenue guarantee, essentially a for mal financial commitment, before establishing air service between Roswell and Phoenix in the event passenger service does not meet the airline’s expenses.

“Without some kind of revenue guarantee, the establishment of service is unlikely,” Mulcahy said.

A similar minimum revenue guarantee was reached between local communities and American Airlines in 2007, when air service was established between Roswell and Dallas-Fort Worth. That minimum revenue guarantee agreement was not invoked because passenger boarding generated suf ficient revenues for American Eagle, Mulcahy said.

That two-year agreement has since expired.

“American told us that that was one of the remarkable things about air service to Dallas, how everyone pulled together as a region here in Roswell,” Mulcahy said. “We don’t intend for this to impact the DallasFort Worth service in any way.”

The latest proposed MRG with American Airlines would also expire after two years.

In addition to the financial commitments of local communities, the PhoenixRoswell project was bolstered by a $450,000 small community air service development program grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, bringing the total minimum revenue guarantee to $1.2 million.

Mulcahy said American Eagle wrote the DOT a letter in support of the grant application.

“So that was a very good and unusual deal,” Mulcahy said.

Mulcahy emphasized the participating communities are not obligated for the full $750,000 because the proposed agreement includes a 30-day notice in which either party could opt out, at which point the communities would no longer be obligated to fund revenue guarantees.

“If the air service is not proving out, someone will make a decision if we want

Regional allies Chaves and Eddy counties each committed $50,000 a year for the next two years for the minimum revenue guarantee. The funding would come from their 2015-16 fiscal year budgets, which begin in July.

Chaves and Eddy counties also each committed $10,000 for marketing and consulting.

The city of Artesia has committed $75,000 a year for the next two years for the MRG, beginning in July, and $15,000 for marketing and consulting.

The village of Ruidoso has committed $25,000 a year for the next two years for the MRG, beginning in July, and $5,000 for marketing and consulting.

The cities of Roswell and Carlsbad have yet to formally approve financial commitments.

The Roswell City Council is expected to vote on a request in which the city would guarantee $125,000 annually for MRG over two years and $50,000 for consulting and marketing.

The Carlsbad City Council is being asked to vote on guaranteeing $50,000 a year for the next two years, and $5,000 for marketing and consulting.

In a letter to the Chaves County commissioners, Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh said city leaders did not believe there would be a call on the MRG, which would force the participating entities to pony up funds.

“That is not to say that there won’t be some monies required, however, I can guarantee you that Chaves County would not under any scenario pay more than $12,500 per quarter,” Kintigh wrote. “Obviously, we all believe this will be a great success. However, if something was to happen and this not be as successful as we believe, the city of Roswell and American Airlines would not want to keep the service going. I also want to assure you that if American Airlines requires more money than what our strategic partners have committed, the city of Roswell will be the entity putting up any additional funds.”

Kintigh also said establishing air service between Roswell and Phoenix is “an incredible economic development opportunity.”

“We believe that this is an economic development opportunity that we cannot pass up,” the mayor wrote.

ter serve the community.

Food Bank staff and partner agencies met with local elected officials to educate them about hunger.

Last year, the Roadrunner Food Bank distributed more than 28 million pounds of food through its own programs, a statewide

network of partner agencies and regional food banks, helping nearly 40,000 children, seniors and adults weekly. Roadrunner Food Bank kept 22 million pounds of food out of landfills last year through its Food Rescue Program.

to continue paying the minimum revenue guarantee,” Mulcahy said. “And that would most likely be a regional decision.”

The goal is to establish 13 flights departing Roswell each week; two a day, except one on Saturdays.

In addition to the minimum revenue guarantee, the participating cities and counties have agreed to spend $200,000 on marketing, $100,000 of which has been allocated by the New Mexico Department of Transportation.

Lastly, the entities spent $22,000 for Mead & Hunt aviation consultants of Madison, Wis., to conduct a market study and write the grant applications.

Mulcahy told members of the RCCEDC Tuesday that increasing air passenger service in Roswell for both business and leisure travelers would provide a big economic benefit for local companies and the entire southeastern region of New Mexico.

He said flights to Phoenix are one of the biggest economic development opportunities for the region.

As one example, Mulcahy said a company that stores aircraft in Victorville, Calif., is not as likely to store aircraft in Roswell because of Roswell’s remote location.

“This changes all of that,” Mulcahy said of flight service to Phoenix. “We’re able to store, fix and bring more planes into service. I think this will help the (Roswell) air center and aviation services.”

Mulcahy also said establishing air service westward would assist local businesses with reaching customers and suppliers on the West Coast.

The resolution approved by the Chaves County commissioners last week states establishing air service between Roswell and Phoenix “will greatly increase economic development in the region and provide the citizens of southeastern New Mexico with greater transportation opportunities.”

New Mexico also has had the highest alcohol-related death rate since 1997.

Over the past 15 years, New Mexico’s death rate for alcohol-related injury has consistently been among the worst in the nation, ranging from 1.4 to 1.8 times the national rate, according to the website.

According to the latest estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 47 percent of homicides, 32 percent of fall injury deaths, 29 percent of drug overdose deaths and 23 percent of suicide deaths are alcohol attributable.

Also, the CDC reports that alcohol consumption is the primary causal factor in roughly 45 percent of motor vehicle crash deaths among males aged 2044, and in more than a third of motor vehicle crash deaths among females aged 20-44.

Binge drinking is also associated with a wide range of other social problems, including domestic and sexual violence, crime, and risky sexual behavior.

New Mexico also has the highest druginduced death rate in the nation, and it continues to increase, according to the website. The most common drugs causing unintentional overdose death for the period covered in this report were heroin (38 percent), prescription opioids other than methadone (35 percent), cocaine (34 percent) and alcohol/drug combinations (27 percent).

There are more deaths and disabilities each year in the U.S. from substance abuse than from any other cause, according to the website, and about 18 million Americans have alcohol problems; about 5 to 6 million Americans have drug problems.

The website also reports that more than half of all adults have a family history of alcoholism or problem drinking, and more than nine million children live

Reflections & Recovery strives to help their clients form a positive social support system through the 12-step recovery classes and through the facility’s mentoring program, Peschka said.

Women are also encouraged to find employment and become contributing members of society.

“We want them to succeed, and we provide training in education, employment and finances,” Peschka said. “We have a holistic approach to treatment, and that includes mental/emotional health, physical wellness and spiritual health.”

The mentoring program is also a significant part of the Reflections & Recovery process.

The women are assigned a mentor who meets with them weekly while they are in the program. The mentoring continues for one year after the client leaves the program, so the learning and life change process will continue for the woman after leaving the facility.

“I have a passion for seeing service extended in our community, especially to women,” said Houston Johnson, a member of the Reflections & Recovery.

“There is a great deficit in treatment available for women in this country.”

Peschka’s vision for Reflections & Recovery is a community asset that touches hearts and changes lives, Johnson said.

“We teach the power of Jesus to shape people, and change people’s lives,” Peschka said. “I am just excited about what we are doing and being able to offer healing to the community.”

What Jack Ma can re-teach America A4 Wednesday, September 24, 2014

OPINION

In the fairy tale “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,” Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter, is in the forest when he hears a group of robbers approaching on horseback.

Afraid, he climbs a tree and hears one of the men say, “open sesame.” A door opens in a rock and the men go in, the door shutting behind them when another says, “close sesame.”

When they leave, Ali Baba climbs down and approaches the rock. He says, “open sesame” and it opens for him. Inside he discovers jewels and gold, which he takes, becoming rich himself.

Jack Ma is the founder of the Chinese Internet retailer Alibaba.

According to The New York Times, Alibaba is “the world’s largest Internet commerce company, with 231 million active buyers using its site, 11.3 billion annual orders and $296 billion in annual merchandise sales.” Its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange established its value at $168 billion, 2½ times the size of

In addition to business advice, the website vulcanpost.com has compiled some of Ma’s sayings that are the antithesis of Mao Zedong’s “Little Red Book” in which Chairman Mao laid out Communist Party principles.

Here are some thoughts from Chairman Jack: “What is failure: Giving up is the greatest failure.”

“What your duties are: To be more diligent, hardworking and ambitious than others.”

In modern America we punish the fruits of hard work and ambition with higher taxes and more regulation, forcing many businesses to seek relief by moving overseas. As The Wall Street Journal reported last week, “With the developed world’s highest corporate tax rate at over 39 percent, including state levies, plus a rare demand that money earned overseas should be taxed as if it were earned domestically, the U.S. is almost in a class by itself. It ranks just behind Spain and Italy, of all

eBay. But, unlike the fairy tale Ali Baba, Jack Ma is no thief. He has, however, “borrowed” from American ideals we seem to have forgotten in an age of envy, greed and entitlement. Incredibly, he has become a success in communist China, an unlikely place to find such principles practiced.

While there are legitimate concerns over how the Chinese government might capture and use credit card numbers and other information that flows through Alibaba’s website, the philosophy Jack Ma embraced on his road to success is straight from an older and nearly forgotten America.

economic humiliations. America did beat Portugal and France, which is currently run by an avowed socialist.”

To those who waste energy complaining, Jack Ma offers this advice: “If you complain or whine once in a while, it is not a big deal. However, if it becomes habitual, it will be similar to drinking: the more you drink, the stronger the thirst. On the path to success, you will notice that the successful ones are not whiners, nor do they complain often.”

To an older generation these truths are beyond debate and when applied they can improve any life.

Jack Ma has scrupulously avoided politics and advises people in business to do the same, which is probably why the Beijing dictatorship has allowed him to pursue his goals. Apparently, they do not see him as a threat to their hold on power.

Still, the principles Ma used to build his giant firm are ready-

made for the Republican Party, which seems to have no positive message and is cowering in shadows for fear of being demonized by media and the left.

Jack Ma has some wisdom on that score. He says you can’t unify everyone’s thoughts, but you can unify everyone through a common goal.

While his message applies to anyone, anemic Republicans could use it most. They should stop whining about President Obama and start focusing on principles with a track record of success.

Unlike in the fairy tale, such a treasure doesn’t need a secret phrase to unlock it. It’s right in front of them and there for the taking.

EDITORIAL

A small victory for free speech online

They say you can’t legislate morality.

Even if that sentiment usually means you shouldn’t legislate morality, there’s a kernel of truth: A society where good manners are mandatory is missing the point.

That’s why the latest law passed in Sacramento to protect consumers is such a mixed blessing.

Assembly Bill 2365, recently signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, will stop businesses from sneaking into their terms and conditions for service a waiver of customers’ rights to speak ill of them. Companies cooked up the loophole as a way to pressure people from posting negative online reviews. In several instances, some litigated in court, a business even levied three or four-figure fines for the badmouthing.

That kind of shameful practice has no place in a contract — certainly not buried in the fine print. True, the onus is still on the customer to read through online terms and conditions instead of simply checking the box and clicking through. Nevertheless, it’s reasonable to expect that a merchant won’t embed perverse and oppressive terms into a transaction. In restoring reasonableness to California contracts, AB2365 narrowly legislates ethics, if not outright morality, in a manner almost anyone can support.

On the other hand, it’s frustrating that any legislature would have to police businesses so intimately — at a time when legalese and arbitrary contracts have become the norm in so many industries. In fact, consumers are impacted by clever contractual wording in a myriad of ways, some of which are even more troubling than hard-to-enforce penalties for negative online reviews.

Forced arbitration clauses, for instance, are increasingly common features of big business contracts. As the National Association of Consumer Advocates points out, such clauses are routinely found in contracts for everything from insurance to car loans to credit cards and investment accounts.

This summer, the California Supreme Court largely upheld arbitration clauses that require employees to waive any right to a class-action lawsuit. But if it’s one thing to shelter companies from debilitating claims brought by workers on at-will contracts, it’s another to deprive consumers of traditional legal recourse against those with whom they do business.

The stakes are raised even higher when, as now, so many key industries are dominated by a few giant firms, which can agree to take away customers’ ability to sue.

There’s little doubt that paranoia over lawsuits is reasonable in its own way. But the culture of excessive litigation that wracks California and the country at large is no excuse for abuses and excesses in the other direction.

There’s something especially rotten about legalese designed to wipe out lawful complaints — whether in or out of court.

AB2365 takes a broom to a relatively small corner of that dirty world. But the corrupt view of contracts that dominates too much of the private and public sector won’t change for good unless our culture changes first.

Israel is just HAMAS’ closest target The relentless rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza by HAMAS, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood (all caps as it is an acronym for Muslim Resistance), is just another illustration of Islamofascist barbarism that is not unlike the tactics of al-Qaeda, alShabaab and Bonko Haram, et al.

Israel comprises about 7 percent of the Middle East region, a land mass equal to the state of New Jersey. Israel represents civilization in an expanse that shuns progress and instead favors a collective 9th century “We are Borg” brutal tribal mentality where homosexuals are hung and women must remain indoors.

HAMAS is not just attacking Israel. These terrorists are attacking civilization itself.

Israel is just the closest target.

If Israel is gone soon, it will be

North Africa, Europe and then America.

The Islamofascists of HAMAS proclaim in their charter that they seek the destruction and annihilation of Israel.

In spite of clear realities, the Left, the media minions and low information denying Islamophiles portray Israel as the evil aggressor. There is a foolhardy naiveté concerning this clear and present danger of militant Islam combined with a rabid resurgence of anti-Semitism by many in America and Europe.

Just because a rational person considers it to be abhorrent that a party would use children as human shields or launch rockets near a hospital or make a kindergarten classroom into an arms depot does not mean it does not happen. (youtube.com/watch?v=f5ZvU 6f8n_Q) On July 14, The Times of Israel reported that HAMAS is aware of Israel’s doctrine to minimize collateral damage, said an officer from the Israel Defense Force’s Southern Command. “HAMAS placed much of its rocket stores under tall, civilian [apartment] buildings. Even if we ordered all of the residents out of the buildings,” he explained, “the collateral damage would be massive. The secondary explosions, in the middle of a dense urban area, would kill many innocent civilians.”

The Achilles heel of the Left is that their world view is distorted by liberal biases meaning that they see everything from their own suburban cul de sac perspective. Narrative trumps observation. For example, since the people of Gaza are poor and lack opportunity and Israel is wealthy and prosperous, the only reason such a disproportional circumstance can exist is because the Jews are oppressors. Success, therefore is evil.

The Palestinians are by far victims and as such they have a reason to be angry. Atrocities of and by HAMAS are justified because they are the downtrodden.

President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are caught in the failed narrative that all problems have solutions and that

incomes did not shrink between 2010 and 2013 were the richest 10 percent.

To me, the most disheartening numbers deal with the growing concentration of the national wealth among the economic elite. The richest 3 percent of Americans controlled 44.8 percent of U.S. wealth in 1989 (right after the second term of Republican Ronald Reagan), which increased to 51.8 percent in 2007 (in the second term of Republican George W. Bush).

In 2013, in Democrat Barack Obama’s second ter m, the wealth share of the top 3 percent had swollen to 54.4 percent.

Conversely, the share of the nation’s wealth belonging to the bottom 90 percent of Americans fell from a third during the Reagan years to less than a quarter. To make the point even more painfully,

the nation’s minimum wage, in constant dollars, was worth more — $5.06 an hour — in 1984 (Reagan again) than it was last year, down to only $4.87 an hour.

The evidence is clear. The United States is more and more unequal. Recall the criteria offered by the only American ever elected to the White House four times. A great Democratic leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt told us in his second inaugural address: “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

By every human measurement, we have ignored Lincoln by deferring to and all but genuflecting before almighty capital while treating labor

Wealth share: Too rich for my taste Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration. — Abraham Lincoln

Any semi-plausible 2016 White House candidate knows it would be the kiss of fundraising death to be caught on YouTube uttering such subversively un-American, anti-business sentiments. If you want to understand just how far to the right our politics have moved, you only have to know that the opening lines above are a direct quotation from the first annual message to Congress by our nation’s first and greatest Republican president, Abraham Lincoln.

Answering a few questions about the van service Roswell Daily Record

This week, I’d like to express my gratitude to our brother Ray Willis, and to answer our brother Magil Duran’s letter to the editor criticizing my column last week.

Ray Willis and I got together last week to discuss some pressing issues concerning our new General Douglas McBride Veterans Cemetery. Ray’s good heart and unselfish generosity was exemplified in a note he wrote, which read: “For more than 238 years, Americans have been called and volunteered to serve and sacrifice for the ideals of our Founding Fathers. The men and women who have served in our military kept to the task. Their service has left an undivided union, a liberated Europe, and the fall of an evil empire. Millions across the world are free today because of the bravery of our veterans.

Throughout history, our veterans have shown that we will defend our nation

solutions will appear once all parties sit at the table and negotiate, mediate and comprise. Equally in error are the many if not most of the western liberals and media “professionals” that are of the opinion that any unwillingness to compromise is antagonistic to peace.

What is lacking in this grave situation is reasonable debate. Debate is absent because HAMAS has no coherent argument; there is no moral equivalent between Israel’s

and its system of values and support our allies.

Not every veteran has seen combat, but most count their time in service as a defining experience in their lives. Each took an oath and stood ready to fight and die for their country. A bond was created and their sacrifice made this nation what it is today.

I know not what our elected politicians need to do to make it happen, but I do know what the result should be.

Any veteran who qualifies for medical help as a veteran should receive that medical assistance that day, no matter what city that veteran is in.

Winston Churchill once

said, ‘Never have so many owed so much to so few.’ In times of war and peace, our HEROES and SHEROES have served us well. A waiting list should not exist.”

God bless you, Ray. You are a good man and a faithful brother.

Before I start my commentary on Mr. Duran’s criticism of my column, let me say one very important thing. I would personally like to thank all the people/drivers (past, present and future) who have put their blood, sweat and tears into creating and growing/sustaining the veterans’ van service. Mr. Duran wanted to know where “Mr. Taylor received the information he placed in his column. I am at a loss as to why (he said what he did in the column).” Good questions, Magil. I presume you forgot about the three separate conversations you and I had that the intent was (not) to do away with the van service — that one or two vans would most likely

right to exist compared to HAMAS’s desire for annihilation. Simply put, HAMAS is wrong.

The challenge to Israel is huge because not only does she have to battle HAMAS, she must also battle a deluge of false directed anti-Israeli sentiment worldwide. Recently, on a radio talk show Diana West, the conservative columnist and author, said that, “The resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe is beyond antiSemitism, it’s Jew hatred.”

It is trendy, hip and invokes much beard stroking in the faculty lounge to be anti-Israeli.

The BBC reported that Scottish government jumped on the anti-Israeli bandwagon and released statements criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza.

On Aug. 5, the Scots called for an arms embargo against Israel to protest civilian deaths in Gaza.

Moreover, to demonstrate Scottish uber -hippness and solidarity with terrorism, the Palestinian flag flew over Glasgow’s City Hall. (Got Lockerby?)

HAMAS, like other terror organizations, depends on world opinion to further their distorted cause. The Western media and our rudderless leaders blindly

with indifference bordering on contempt. Year after year, as more is added to the record abundance of those who already have too much — and everyone else falls further behind — we fail FDR’s test.

At one time, we honored these two men — Lincoln and Roosevelt — enough to build in our nation’s capital two inspiring memorials to

My information came from history, many years before you took over the service. Back in the beginning (over eight years ago), I was one of four veterans (Ron McKay, Frank Ramirez, John Lovell — Steve Pearce’s veterans’ staffer in Roswell — and yours truly) who started “your organization.” Initially, we took on the challenge of getting the VA to allow local health care for veterans. Ron McKay and Frank Ramirez put the very first van in service, with the help of the Vietnam Veterans of America in Artesia.

Our group then pushed to expand the number of vans to a massive two, with a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

Our ultimate goal was to, one day, have the VA provide local medical care and lessen the need for a (fleet of vans).

The “why” you asked is really quite simple to answer. You stated 40 percent of our veterans would

not get medical care if it were not for “your organization.” First, you must not be aware that hundreds of local veterans are choosing not to get medical care because they don’t want (or can’t) endure the 6-hour drive for care (even in a van). You stated that you are transporting 149 veterans a month. If the local Lovelace “test/pilot program” (as you described it) with total support from (all) local veterans is successfully implemented, that would feasibly reduce your passenger load by 90 percent, meaning you would only have to transport around four veterans a week.

Do you really think you are going to need six or eight vans and hundreds of thousands of dollars for that volume? Another critical point you should consider is how many of your current passengers would rather receive their medical care locally, rather than continuing to drive six hours to Albuquerque? 100 percent?

LETTER POLICY

Next week, I will cover how critically important it is to work with our Lovelace Regional Hospital and U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce to make local VA health care “happen.” We need all veterans to support and actively use this (local) service many of us have been working 12 years to make happen. We do not need a handful of “naysayers” running around touting the failure of a plan 100 percent of local veterans so desperately need. We all need to promote local health care, because this may be our last chance.

ADVOCATE WARNING: If the VA and our politicians fail us again (as has been the history) we will not and cannot change our present transportation program until we are sure the VA is going to deliver! We will be watching this closely! God bless.

Webb ‘seriously looking’ at 2016 presidential campaign

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb said Tuesday he is “seriously looking” at a Democratic presidential campaign in 2016, a move that could create a challenge to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton if she seeks the White House again.

Webb said at a speech to the National Press Club that he has talked to respected advisers about a presidential bid and will continue to have those discussions during the next four or five months.

“I’m seriously looking at the possibility of running for president. But we want to see if there’s a support base from people who would support the programs that we’re interested in pursuing,” he said.

Webb, 68, is a veteran of the Vietnam War who served as assistant secretary of defense and Navy secretary during the Ronald Reagan administration. He defeated Republican George Allen in his 2006 Senate campaign and

served one term.

Clinton is the leading Democratic contender for president if she seeks the White House again, but Democrats expect her to face a primary challenge. In addition to Webb, the field could include Vice President Joe Biden, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and others.

Webb said Tuesday that U.S. foreign policy has been “adrift” since the end of the Cold War and the nation’s debate over domestic policy has become increasingly polarized.

“Not surprisingly the American people have grown ever more cynical about their national leadership in both parties and increasingly pessimistic about the future,” he said.

Webb has made campaign appearances in Iowa on behalf of Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley, who is running for Senate, and state Sen. Jack Hatch, who is challenging Republican Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad.

Webb plans to visit New Hampshire.

we have a union at each of our plants,” Brecht said in German. “We have very different behavior on the part of the company in some cases. In India we are in the process of founding a union for our plant there, and we have the support of the company that will happen.”

“But in the USA, in the South, it is being resisted,” he said. “It is unacceptable to me how the company is acting here.”

Brecht’s comments follow recent pronouncements by labor counterparts at fellow German automaker Volkswagen in support of the UAW organizing its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Under German law, labor

representatives hold half the seats on corporations’ supervisory boards.

The UAW lost a union election at the Volkswagen plant by a 712 to 626 vote in February following a contentious campaign waged by supporters and opponents of organized labor. UAW SecretaryTreasurer Gary Casteel has since announced the formation of a new local in Chattanooga, and that he expects Volkswagen to recognize the union without another vote once it signs up enough workers.

Casteel this spring was also named Brecht’s deputy on Daimler’s World Employee Committee.

Brecht said that move was

meant in part to “show solidarity with UAW, and our commitment to the common goal of gaining a foothold in Tuscaloosa.”

Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche told reporters during a recent plant visit in Alabama that the company already has relationships with the UAW at its truck making subsidiaries. He said the company pledges neutrality on union issues at the plant and that he sees “no surprises or major tensions” over the issue with labor representatives.

“That’s for our employees to make their call and to take their vote,” Zetsche said. “And in this regard, the team here in

Tuscaloosa has decided for the last 20 years not to organize with the UAW or any other union.”

Brecht said he plans a visit to the Tuscaloosa plant in the coming weeks to determine whether the company is keeping its neutrality pledge.

Workers at the plant have claimed company officials have prevented them from distributing union materials and discussing organization there.

Southern Republicans have resisted the UAW gaining a foothold with its first foreign automaker in the South for fear that it would frighten off future investors.

“A company like Mer-

cedes, if they were to unionize, would it hurt my ability to recruit companies to Alabama? Absolutely it would,” Republican Gov. Robert Bentley said after a recent event at the Mercedes plant.

“Especially certain areas of the world, certain companies and areas of the world like Asian companies, they are not as amendable to coming to a state where unionization is strong,” he said.

In Tennessee, Republican Sen. Bob Corker has been among the most vocal critics of the UAW’s efforts to organize the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, where he was once mayor.

Mercedes labor chief seeks UAW foothold in Alabama

The head labor official on Daimler AG’s supervisory board says he considers it “unacceptable” that the German automaker’s Mercedes plant in Alabama stands alone among the company’s factories around the world without union representation for its workers.

Michael Brecht, who took over as head of Daimler’s works councils and as deputy chair man of the board in April, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that he supports the United Auto Workers’ efforts to gain recognition at the plant located near Tuscaloosa.

Go wild: Plant species tulips for early color LOCAL

Roswell Daily Record

This May 9, 2010, photo provided by Marijn van den Brink shows Tulipa polychroma, a wild tulip, in a remote unforgiving native habitat in the Sahand Mountains of northwestern Iran.

The fragrant blooms begin to emerge as soon as the snow melts. Bumblebees rely on the nectar from these low-lying flowers to survive in early spring.

Maybe it’s time to rethink the way we landscape using tulips.

True, the familiar, large, goblet-shaped blooms make a colorful springtime splash grouped in beds and pots.

But those hybrids are softies compared to their wild ancestors — species tulips growing in unforgiving sites from Algeria to China. They thrive in problem areas.

Tulips are not native to Holland, but growers there over the past 400 years have built an industry around developing hybrids for the commercial trade. Their classic tulips perform best with fertile soil and an ample moisture supply.

That’s not the story, however, with clones of the botanical or species tulips.

Those you can plant and forget. Neglect them. Sear them under the sun. Simply

scratch the small bulbs into some gravel or tuck them into rocky crevices and they’ll survive that austerity just as they have the harsh, hardscrabble mountain conditions of Afghanistan, Switzerland, Kazakhstan, Turkey or Mongolia.

“Wild tulips are better adapted to difficult conditions,” said Christian Curless, a horticulturist for the flower bulb company Colorblends.com.

“They’re happiest with parched conditions in summer — places where the grass dries up,” he said.

“These are the kinds of flowers you can plant in a rock garden or elevated a little bit for good drainage.”

Botanical tulips differ visibly from their hybrid progeny.

“They tend, in general, to be smaller — finer in flower

Paula Deen is ready to tell her side of the story behind the racist remark that decimated her career, but you’ll need to pay to hear it.

The former Food Network star has been working on a documentary about herself and her downfall — triggered in 2013 by her acknowledgment that she’d used a racial slur in the past — but it will only be available to subscribers of her new website, the Paula Deen Network. Recipe content on the site will be free, but viewers will need to pay $9.99 a month to view videos.

“We hope to have it out the first of the year and tell everybody the true story of what really happened,” Deen said of the documentary during a recent tele-

her book, TV and endorsement deals.

In 2012, she was criticized for announcing she had both diabetes and a lucrative endorsement deal for a drug to treat the condition she’d until then hidden. A year later, during a legal dispute with a former employee who accused her of racial discrimination and sexual harassment, she acknowledged having used racial slurs in the past.

The experience was painful, but valuable, Deen told the AP. “I learned the power of words, how they have the ability to hurt and once you say certain words you can’t un-ring it, not even 30 years later.”

Deen — whose comeback ef fort began earlier this year, when private investment firm Najafi Compa-

nies put up $75 million to $100 million to rebuild her — said she had opportunities to return to traditional television, but both she and her fans preferred the flexibility and social elements of the digital world.

The new site, which is being overseen by longtime Deen producer Gordon Elliot, also will feature all of the content Deen produced during her more than 10 years at the Food Network.

The network parted ways with her following the revelations about her comments. Deen wouldn’t say how much it cost to acquire the videos, only that it was “very valuable to us.” That content will be slowly rolled out for subscribers.

and in foliage,” Curless said.

“They have more of a starryeyed look to them.”

Wild tulips have been trendy in Europe since they were introduced by botanical expeditions in the early 20th century, said Eric Breed, a Dutch bulb expert and tulip hunter. “Also, in the U.S.A., they have been popular since the 1960s and ‘70s when large numbers became available from nurseries in Holland,” he said.

Like most spring-blooming bulbs, species tulips should be planted in the fall. Get them in the ground early enough so their roots can develop before the soil freezes.

Skip the fertilizers and go easy on the watering. “Moisture can be a problem,” Curless said. “Too much love.”

Species tulips aren’t perennials but they do live longer

than the familiar standard varieties, with bulbs producing blooms through at least several seasons. Their bloom period ranges from early spring well into June. They perform best in USDA Zones 3 to 7.

Shop for labels specifying the genus Tulipa, about 100 species of which have been cloned for domestic use.

Look to the low-growing Tulipa tarda for white flowers with a yellow eye. It naturalizes somewhat and tolerates black walnut trees. The Tulipa bakeri has lilac-colored petals with yellow centers, and partners well with dwarf daffodils. Tulipa kaufmanniana is said to resemble a water lily when fully open and is among the first to flower in spring. The Tulipa turkestanica delivers fragrant white petals having orange centers, and is a repeat bloomer.

Paula Deen documentary tells her side of her downfall phone interview. “It was a painful year for me. It was a hurtful year when I found myself being labeled for something I was not.”

The website, which launches Wednesday, will feature an ambitious array of original video content, including traditional cooking shows as well as lifestyle and game show segments, all starring Deen and her sons. The site, which will include no outside advertising or sponsors, also includes thousands of Deen’s recipes, as well as menu planning tools.

The site and documentary are part of a larger effort by the star and her backers to resuscitate her career after a one-two punch of public relations disasters cost her nearly all

First survey of state’s Jewish community underway STAFF REPORT

The Jewish Federation of New Mexico, an Albuquerque-based, multifaceted social service organization that serves the needs of New Mexico’s Jewish community through leadership, philanthropy, education and social action, announced the launch of the first comprehensive state-wide survey to determine the demographic composition of New Mexico’s Jewish community at jewishsurveynm.org.

On Thursday, thousands of New Mexicans will be celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

The study is being conducted by Marina Arbetman-Rabinowitz, Ph.D. and Kupersmit Research, a Denver -based research firm that specializes in customized research, and provides cutting-edge tools and technologies to better assess diverse populations. It will include a two-phased process to determine attitudes, behaviors, and identify groups requiring specific communal services.

The first phase of the survey will be conducted online, through a

sample of emails provided by the Jewish Federation of New Mexico through a web-based survey. In addition, mailed questionnaires and telephone calls to a sample of New Mexico residents with Jewish surnames and other sources will be conducted to maximize reach. “It is important for everyone to complete the first phase of the survey to help us assess the needs of New Mexico’s Jewish residents,” said Arbetman-Rabinowitz, who is the New Mexico project consultant for the survey.

Once the results of the survey are received, the second phase of the study will be introduced. Phase two will consist of focus group research and interviews. It will allow for a more detailed depiction of the Jewish communities’ patterns and behaviors, and how they differ between age, gender, affiliated and unaffiliated individuals. “We expect the results of the landmark survey to be truly transformational and provide a picture of the affiliated and unaffiliated Jewish households in New Mexico. The data will help us better recognize the chal-

Kerry Washington helps launch ‘Scandal’ collection

NEW YORK (AP) — Kerry Washington wants women to look as powerful and put together as her TV persona.

Fashion retailer The Limited has teamed up with the “Scandal” star and the show’s costume designer, Lyn Paolo, for a collection inspired by the ABC drama, which premieres its fourth season on Thursday.

Washington appeared at a launch party for the line on Monday, where she said it was important for clothing to be accessible.

“There are women who can literally afford to dress like Olivia Pope, and I don’t know how, because those clothes are very, very, very expensive,” she said with a laugh.

“There are other people who can’t, and there is no reason why only the people who make a certain amount of money should have access to this feminine power in fashion, you know? This line is created so that everybody can find their own inner gladiator.

That every woman can be powerful and sexy, brilliant and smart and gorgeous, fashion-forward. You know, it’s just there’s no limit to who you can be.”

There are 42 looks in the Scandal Collection, including tops, jackets, outerwear and, of course, pants, because, as Washington says: “Olivia Pope wears the pants both literally and figuratively.”

lenges and barriers New Mexico Jews have faced, as well as their motivations and aspirations,” said Arbetman-Rabinowitz.

The history of Judaism in New Mexico stretches from the colonial period to the present day. Many of the first settlers were crypto-Jews who escaped the Spanish Inquisition in the 16th and 17th centuries.

But the community, which openly practiced Judaism, started with 19th century German merchants who eventually settled in Las Vegas, Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

Although the Jewish community of New Mexico is concentrated in the larger cities, smaller communities such as Roswell and Las Cruces have seen the birth of synagogues and Jewish organizations.

Founded in 1948, the Jewish Federation of New Mexico (JFNM) is a part of the United Jewish Communities, a network of 189 Jewish federations and 400 independent communities across North America.

Seattle to fine residents for not composting uneaten food

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle residents who fail to separate food waste from trash will be fined.

The City Council voted Monday to impose the fines for not composting.

When the ordinance goes into effect next year, homeowners found with food scraps in their trash will be fined $1 for each violation, KING reported Tuesday.

The fine is up to $50 for a business or apartment complex.

Seattle Public Utilities estimates that about a third to one-half of what now goes in the trash should be recycled or put in compost bins.

The new law is aimed at helping Seattle reach its goal of having a recycling rate of 60 percent by 2015.

The change is expected to generate an additional 38,000 tons of compost material every year.

San Francisco also has a mandatory composting ordinance.

Currently, residents of single-family homes in Seattle are encouraged but not required to dispose of food waste and some paper products in compost bins, The Seattle Times reported.

Apartment buildings must have compost bins available, but residents of apartment buildings aren’t required to use them. Businesses aren’t subject to any composting requirements, Under the new rules, collectors will take a look when they dump trash into a garbage truck. If they see more than 10 percent of the trash should be composted, they’ll enter the violation into a computer and leave a ticket on the bin that says expect a $1 fine on the next garbage bill.

J. CALIFORNIA COOPER, PROLIFIC WRITER, DEAD AT 82

SEATTLE (AP) — Prolific writer J. California Cooper, who was writing plays until Alice Walker suggested she switch to short stories and novels, because they were an easier path to a paycheck, has died at age 82.

Cooper died early Saturday after experiencing several heart attacks over the past few years, her daughter Paris Williams said Tuesday.

She lived most of her life in northern California and wrote more than a dozen plays and had about a dozen books published after switching to prose fiction.

She met Walker after the Pulitzer Prize winner came to see one of her plays.

“Her advice to my mother was you should write short stories or novels because it was easier to get paid. She went home and wrote 12 stories,” Williams said.

When Cooper asked Walker to write an introduction to her first story collection, the writer who had just been honored for “The Color Purple” asked to publish the book at her own publishing house.

Walker also helped Cooper get one of her stories published in Essence magazine

and the book took off from there, Williams said.

Williams called Cooper a hard worker who worked a variety of jobs from a teamster on the Alaska pipeline to an escrow officer and a manicurist to pay the bills.

She went to the pipeline to work as a secretary and switched to bus and truck driving after she realized she could make a lot more money, her daughter recalls. She drove welders up to their work site and then panned for gold while waiting for the return trip, Williams said.

“My mother tried a lot of things when I was growing up,” she said. “Writing was something she always did.

She just stuck them in a drawer.”

She was known for a folksy, conversational style and for stories of women scarred by violence or betrayal. Her work was praised for its power and at times criticized for being didactic.

Her collections included “A Piece of Mine” and “Homemade Love.”

Reviewing her novel “Family” in The New York Times in 1990, Roy Hoffman called it “the sort of book that ought to be read

out loud.”

“Never mind that the narrator, Clora, is a ghost,” Hof fman wrote. “In its strong rhythms and colloquial expressions, this book is a living woman’s monologue. At times, Clora even seems to lean toward us, grabbing at our lapels.”

Williams said her mother never took her fame seriously.

“She used to say ‘People have forgotten all about me,’” Williams said. “But all her books are still in print.

It’s pretty amazing.”

Her mother did not want a funeral and requested instead that she be remembered with personal acts of kindness or charity.

Anchondo.

Honorary pallbearers will be: Christina Anchondo, Andrew Anchondo, Pedro Saenz, and all other grand and great-grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be: Javier Saenz, Jr., Alfredo Saenz, Ramon Anchondo Jr., Michael Anchondo, Leonardo Anchondo, Fabian Vale, Juan Borunda, Jr., Gilberto Borunda.

Norma Lou Pharis

Memorial service for Norma Lou Pharis, 76, of Roswell, will be at 10 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014, at Anderson-Bethany Funeral Home Chapel, burial to follow at South Park Cemetery. The family will be accepting visitation Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Nor ma Lou was bor n Feb. 22, 1938, in Childress, TX to Max and Betty Hubbard. She was the 10th in a family of 16 children.

She married Jimmie L. Pharis on Aug. 28, 1963, and they were blessed with three children, a daughter and son-in-law which she said were the best kids in the world.

Norma Lou was a homemaker and great mom. She began work for RISD in 1976 as a cafeteria manager at East Grand Plains and Sunset Elementary Schools.

She was a great cook and all the maintenance workers would stop to get a homemade roll on bread day.

Nor ma Lou retired in 1997, but was continually active with her church and the ladies ministry and caring for her family.

She was not only mom to her three children, but her son and daughter -in-law, friends, nieces and nephews also thought of her as mom as well.

She was the most kindhearted and loving person.

She always had a kind word for everyone and was always full of joy and laughter. She loved praying

Leave your mark

Roswell Daily Record and going to church. Even in her worst hours of pain she said she was fine or “doing alright.” She was a strong and deter mined woman.

Norma Lou will be greatly missed, but will rejoice with the angels in heaven and rest from the pain of the world.

Norma Lou is survived by her husband, Jimmie Pharis of Midway; her son, Edward and wife Rhonda Pharis of Midway; daughters, Nancy Pharis, Donna Brasher and husband Ray; all of Lubbock, TX; her sister, Karlin Parkhill and husband, Jimmy of Roswell; Wilma Dean Crosby and husband Ross of Shawnee, OK; Arlene King of Tyler, TX. She was preceded in death by her parents, Max and Betty Hubbard; six brothers, Gene Hubbard, Dee “Boots” Hubbard, Havard Hubbard, J.H. Hubbard, Roland Hubbard and Nolan Hubbard; six sisters, Louise Hyatt, Flor Daniel, Joyce Cunningham, Aileen Brown, Christine Hubbard and Shirley Calkins.

Fred Lopez

A rosary will be recited for Fred Lopez, of Roswell, at 1 p.m., Friday, Sept. 26, 2014, at St. John’s Catholic Church with a Mass to follow with Fr. Eduardo Espinosa OFM officiating.

Fred Lopez was born on Sept. 10, 1942, to Pedro Lopez and Ermina “Minnie” Lopez in Roswell. He was a lifelong resident of Roswell and a member of St. John’s Catholic Church. He married his lifelong partner Della Lopez on Aug. 15, 1962, in Roswell. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle around town and also spending time with his two great-grandkids that he

lived with. He loved just to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Most importantly, he loved to argue with his granddaughter Priscilla Ramirez on what he could eat, since he was a diabetic. He will be greatly missed.

Fred is survived by his daughter, Rose Marie Acosta, of Roswell; his grandchildren, Ismael Andazola, of Roswell and Priscilla Ramirez of Roswell; his great-grandchildren, Esperanza Ramirez, George Francisco Ramirez Jr, Destiny Rose Jazmine Ramirez, Christopher Servantez, all of Roswell, and Elias Andazola, of Albuquerque. He is also survived by his two brothers who are honorary pallbearers; his sister, Virginia Buchanan of Roswell and his sister, Alice Barela of Ruidoso; also, a very close sister-in-law, Trudy Lopez of Ruidoso.

He was preceded in death by his wife Della Lopez, whom he deeply missed; his parents, his brother Pete Lopez, of Ruidoso; his sister Lorena Luna, of Roswell; and son-in-law Francisco Acosta, of Roswell.

Honorary pallbearers will be brother, Leo Lopez of Roswell; Brother Manuel Lopez of Roswell and wife Dolly Lopez; grandson, Ismael Andazola and greatgrandson, George Ramirez Jr. How can I live without you?

How can I carry on?

When you’re the reason I had to live for, and now you’re gone.

You held me up when I was weak; there wasn’t a day we didn’t speak.

You picked me up when I was down, Don’t know where I would be if you weren’t around.

You taught me so much, Wish I could still feel your touch.

There’s not a minute that goes by that I don’t think of you and cry.

I know you’re dancing up above just know you’ll always have my love.

I love you, grandpa, then, now, and always.

We couldn’t ask for a better Angel.

Farrell, Vaughn set for ‘True Detective’

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn will star in the second season of HBO’s “True Detective.”

The eight-episode drama series will begin production in California this fall, the premium cable channel said Tuesday.

Farrell will play a compromised detective, Ray, who is divided between his loyalty to his bosses in a corrupt police department and a mobster with a hold over him.

Vince Vaughn co-stars as Frank, a criminal whose move into legitimate business is disrupted by a business partner’s murder.

HBO had a critically acclaimed hit with the first season of “True Detective,” which starred the Emmynominated Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

The air date for the second season was not announced.

Season one of “T rue Detective” paired two actors known primarily for their big-screen work in a twisted, noir -ish tale.

McConaughey and Harrelson played for mer Louisiana State Police detectives interrogated in 2012 about a homicide case they’re shown working, in flashback, in 1995.

The crime drama provoked some grumbling when it was entered in the Emmy Awards drama series category despite its abbreviated eight-episode run and the likelihood its stars wouldn’t return for the next go-around.

“True Detective” ended up losing the best drama Emmy to “Breaking Bad,” while McConaughey and Harrelson also failed to grab Emmy gold — although the for mer, an Oscar winner this year for “Dallas Buyers Club,” was seen as the frontrunner.

Solo’s Hope

Thunder BOLDT

I don’t know about you but I’m a little tired of reading and writing about the NFL and domestic violence.

In a way it’s been good, it’s got the debate going and real change has been made in the NFL’s policy and other leagues have taken notice and begun making changes of their own.

But for all the good, you have to see the ugly and man, has it been ugly. Between damning security camera footage and seeing player after player take the perp walk, this sports season is more like an episode of Cops than the NFL. Just when you think you’ve seen everything, you see the goalie for the women’s national soccer team beat up her sister and 17-year-old nephew in a domestic dispute. The offense is one thing, but there appears to be a double standard when it comes to the discipline enforced by the teams of the respective arrestees.

Hope Solo has yet to be kept off the field as the national team prepares for the World Cup while the slew of NFL-ers have not only been kept off the field, some have been banned for a year if not indefinitely. Solo’s hope is that the double standard will be upheld and we won’t care that she is a woman while the others are men.

Goddard girls fall to Hobbs 3-1 Section

Roswell Daily Record

Paul Lessard Record Contributor The Goddard Lady Rocket soccer team dropped their first home game of the year, falling to the 6A Hobbs Eagles in a very competitive, spirited game.

The Rockets had numerous opportunities in both halves of play, but two quick second half goals spelled doom for any chance of a Rocket upset.

“We played pretty good.

This is a marker for us to see just how well we can play,” stated Coach Betty Elizondo. “The girls did a really great job. Over there, we lost 4-1, it was 3-1 here.

The girls played tough – they hung tough.”

Goddard went on the attack almost immediately as senior Danielle Hubbard got of f one of her many shots with only a minute gone. The shot went wide left – one of many missed opportunities.

Goddard continued to press as the Eagles’ goalie was not clearing shots deep enough, but the Rockets continued to come up short. Delilah Sandoval set up Hubbard at the 11:44 mark, but her shot clanged off the post and the game

remained scoreless.

Hobbs did their share of shooting on goal, but also came up short as Rocket goal keeper Averi Mann made save after save. With 17:37 to go, she made her 4th sliding save to thwart another Eagle attack which was orchestrated by Ariel Lopez. Lopez continually set her teammates up throughout the game.

The Rockets got another great opportunity when Caitlyn Schmidt ran untouched along the right side, but her cross went high and the game stayed 0-0. Hobbs countered and got a shot to trickle past Mann and gain the 1-0 lead which remained until halftime.

The Eagles broke it open with two quick goals in the second half. Noemi Carrillo scored at the 45:10 mark and Mia Zebas quickly followed that with a goal at the 46:31 mark. The two goals gave Hobbs a 3-0 lead with held up for the next nine minutes.

The Rockets continually pressed the attack as they got stellar play from freshman Jeanette Aragon on the back row. Aragon set up numerous scoring

Coach Elizondo had high praise for Aragon. “Jeanette played an excellent game for us. She kind of saved us back there a few times.

She’s our only freshman on

the varsity team and she plays her heart out.”

The Rockets did not have enough to close the gap further and could only watch as Hobbs moved their record to 7-3. Mann did have one last bright spot as she stopped a penalty kick in stoppage time. Despite her efforts, the Rockets fell to 6-3 on the year – all the losses

coming to 6A opponents.

“Playing these games is getting us prepared for those district games,” said Coach Elizondo. “I like playing teams like this – it gets us mentally tough.”

The Rockets have little time to regroup as they head to Valencia Thursday for a game with the 5-3-1 Lady Jaguars.

Goodell meets with players NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and chief assistant Troy Vincent were told by 11 former players Tuesday that the league must act immediately when someone is accused of domestic violence.

At a 3 1/2-hour meeting to discuss ways to improve the league’s personal conduct policy, the former players also said teams must be held accountable when players misbehave.

“One question asked around the room was, when an arrest occurs, do you take them of f the field or let them play and let the due process take care of itself?” said Vincent, the NFL’s vice president of football opera-

tions. “To a man, they said, ‘Take them off the field, pay them, and let due process take care of itself.”’

At the meeting were Hall of Famer Mike Singletary, plus Matt Birk, Eddie Mason, Patrick Kerney, Willie McGinest, Roman Oben, Marty Lyons, Charles Way, Tony Paige, Scott Turner and Robert Porcher. More weekly meetings are planned among league officials and former players, current players and team owners.

“I felt like the clock was on after last Friday and the clock was on that we can’t talk to enough people,” Vincent said of a news conference at which Goodell announced the

league will re-examine how and when it should discipline players for violating the policy.

“You begin this discussion with people it means the most to: the players and the owners,” Vincent added. “Let’s begin by bringing in some of our ‘thought leaders.”’

The NFL has faced heavy criticism of its personal conduct policy after incidents this year involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy, Ray McDonald and Jonathan Dwyer. Goodell repeatedly has said he mishandled the punishment of Rice for punching his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — After three games the San Francisco 49ers lead the NFL with 36 penalties, a pace that would break the league record set by the Oakland Raiders three years ago.

The 49ers (1-2) are not making any excuses, though they say part of the problem is in the ambiguity of certain “points of emphasis” for NFL officials this year, rules already on the books that will draw more attention from officials.

“It does make you second-guess things,” San Francisco linebacker Michael Wilhoite said. “One thing I second-guessed was when the quarterback was running. Do I hit him or not? The hard part is knowing whether he’s going down feet first or putting his head down and running.”

The 49ers were called for nine penalties for 107 yards in Sunday’s 23-14 loss at the Arizona Cardinals. That was down from the 16 penalties for 118 yards called against San Francisco against the Chicago Bears.

“The frustrating part is not being able to get into a

rhythm,” Wilhoite said.

“Another penalty? Now what was called? You have to understand the rules and understand when you can hit a quarterback. I have to have the team’s best interest at heart. At the same I want to play football and we all want to make the plays.”

The 49ers averaged fewer than seven penalties and 53 yards a game last season. The New England Patriots have been called for 30 penalties and an NFL-leading 322 yards and the Pittsburgh Steelers have been flagged 31 times.

The 49ers are on pace for 192 penalties and 1,626 yards. The Raiders drew 163 penalties and 1,328 yards in their record-breaking 2011 season.

“I feel the same way now as I did after the game,” 49ers linebacker Dan Skuta said of an unnecessary roughness call that led to the Cardinals’ go-ahead touchdown. “I hit him with my shoulder, on his shoulder.”

Skuta tackled Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton after he scrambled 7 yards up the middle on the disputed play.

“He was out of the pocket

and if he’s going to run like anyone else, I am going to hit him like anyone else,” Skuta said.

“It’s tough to guess when he goes down with his foot leading. I don’t know what to do about that. I know you have to treat the quarterback differently. I think I understand that. I’m just trying to get him down.”

Also, All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis was called for roughing the passer on the next play.

Willis was called for three penalties, only two were accepted, against Arizona.

San Francisco committed 103 penalties for 845 yards last year compared to 96 for 878 yards for its opponents. This year it’s 36 for 305 as opposed to 25 for 166 for opponents.

“We can always play better,” Skuta said. “Talking about penalties is not going to get us any better. We can’t worry about penalties.

We have to get ready for the Eagles.”

The NFL has emphasized contact in the defensive backfield for this season.

The clipping penalty was also expanded to include contact by rolling up a player’s leg. San Francisco tackle Jonathan Martin

“I don’t want to say too much,” Martin said. “It’s just frustrating to see penalties at critical points of the game. It’s just something I have to get better

Student: Ex-Titan chased him, friends before crash Roswell Daily Record

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A college student told a 911 dispatcher that a man he later identified as Rob Bironas chased he and his friends, then tried to hit their pickup truck minutes before the former T itans kicker’s fatal crash.

Metro Nashville Police Department released copies of two 911 calls Tuesday after noon. One call was made by Bironas’ wife reporting him missing at 11:40 p.m. on Sept. 20.

The second was from Belmont University student Connor Fraley at 10:45 p.m. while being chased by Bironas, who was driving a white SUV. “He’s literally trying to hit us now,” Fraley told the dispatcher. “We pulled next to him at a stop light, and I told him that something was burning in his exhaust and he called us an ... and he’s following us right now.

He’s been swerving all over the road. We aren’t keeping the speed limit, but it’s because he’s literally trying to do whatever it takes to

Her comments come a day after U.S. Soccer said it would stand by its decision to allow Solo to play while the legal process plays out.

“U.S. Soccer takes the issue of domestic violence very seriously. From the beginning, we considered the information available and have taken a deliberate and thoughtful approach regarding Hope Solo’s status with the national team,” U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati

Bironas, 36, crashed his white 2009 GMC Yukon Denali just after 11 p.m.

Sept. 20. Police said he was speeding as he lost control in a curve, ran off the road into a line of trees and overtur ned in a culvert near his Nashville home.

The investigation is ongoing, and autopsy results aren’t expected for weeks.

Police said there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs at the scene.

The call describes what appears to be a troubling sequence of events before Bironas crashed.

It is the second road rage incident allegedly involving the kicker within the 30 minutes of his death.

After Bironas had crashed, a woman standing at the accident site told a 911 dispatcher in a call released Monday that he had tried to run her and her husband off the road minutes earlier. The woman told the dispatcher that she and her husband had pulled over and let the said in a statement.

“Based on that information, U.S. Soccer stands by our decision to allow her to participate with the team as the legal process unfolds. If new information becomes available we will carefully consider it.”

Nike also said Tuesday it would continue its sponsorship deal with Solo.

“We are aware of the allegations and that Hope Solo has pled “not guilty” to the charges. Hope remains a Nike athlete and we will continue to monitor the situation,” the company said in a statement.

Solo is expected to start in goal for the U.S. women when the team plays next month in the

man, who they didn’t recognize at the time, drive past them. She told the dispatcher that the police needed to know something was wrong with him before the crash.

Fraley was a passenger in a truck with other unidentified Belmont students, including a male driver and two females in the backseat. He told The Tennessean he recognized Bironas as the SUV driver after his roommate texted him a photo Sunday morning.

“We had no idea who he was and why he was trying to har m us,” Fraley told The Tennessean. “It was a fight or flight situation and, unfortunately, we had to take flight at about 110 miles per hour. It was very scary.”

Fraley did not respond to emails and other messages from The Associated Press on Tuesday. Belmont’s communications director said he passed on a request through the university to the student.

CONCACAF championship, which will be played in four U.S. cities with the final scheduled for Oct. 26 at PPL Park in Pennsylvania. The event serves as a qualifying event for next summer’s Women’s World Cup in Canada.

In an exhibition match against Mexico in Sandy, Utah, earlier this month, Solo recorded her 72nd career shutout in an 8-0 U.S. victory. She passed Briana Scurry (19942008) on the career list.

Solo, 32, has played in 155 international matches and was with the U.S. team that won gold medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics.

On the 911 call, Fraley told the dispatcher he saw police lights and thought the SUV had been pulled over. The students drove to a parking garage on campus and later gave a report to officers.

Nashville police researched radio traffic and said they found no stop of a white SUV in the time frame of Fraley’s call. The first time an officer checked the license plate on Bironas’ SUV was after 11:30 p.m. from the crash scene.

Bironas’ wife Rachel, daughter of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, called 911 when she couldn’t locate her husband. She called approximately two hours after he left their house where they had been watching a movie.

“He just left, and that was it,” Rachel Bironas said on the call. “He just left. He has a white Denali, and he just drove away and we haven’t seen him since.”

“He just left,” Rachel Bironas said. “I have a girlfriend over. I tur ned around, and he was gone.”

The couple married in June after Bironas was released by the Titans in March. He played nine seasons with the franchise and had worked out for Detroit last week. The Lions released Nate Freese on

Monday and are expected to sign kicker Alex Henery.

Bironas was the fourth most-accurate kicker in NFL history, connecting on 85.7 percent of his kicks (239 of 279). He finished as the Titans’ second leading career scorer with 1,032 points, and he made a franchise-record 11 winning field goals during his career.

Spurrier still frustrated over win COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Steve Spurrier wasn’t quite as angry Tuesday as he had been about South Carolina’s performance in a win over Vanderbilt.

He is, though, still very frustrated.

Spurrier ranted about his team’s “embarrassing” performance following the 48-34 win over Vanderbilt, appointing himself kickof f coverage coach when the Commodores returned two kickoffs for touchdowns.

The coach called it one of the worst wins of his career.

Still, he believes the No. 13 Gamecocks (3-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) can rebound Saturday night when they play defending SEC Eastern Division winner Missouri (3-1, 0-1).

There were some bright spots for the Ball Coach to build on, he acknowledged.

The Gamecocks’ offense led by quarterback Dylan Thompson has done well keep the team out front and giving South Carolina’s defense breathing room.

Samsung to launch new phone in China before Apple

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Samsung Electronics Co. said Wednesday its latest Galaxy Note 4 smartphone will go on sale in China and South Korea later this month as its flagging mobile business tries to defend sales from Apple’s new iPhones.

Samsung said all three South Korean mobile operators will begin Galaxy Note 4 sales on Friday. All three Chinese mobile carriers will release the new phone before the end of this month, it said.

Samsung’s announcement marks the first time the South Korean company has released a flagship smartphone in China before other major overseas markets.

Apple’s iPhone 6 has yet to arrive in China, the world’s most populous country. But Apple Inc. still chalked up 10 million sales of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models in the first three days after the phones went on sale.

Samsung’s early move in China comes as the South Korean company faces challenges on multiple fronts. Its profit from the crucial mobile business has flagged and

local brands in India and China have dented its sales of cheap phones.

Apple’s new iPhone 6 with its larger screen than previous models eliminates a key advantage for Samsung that lured buyers with the big screens of its Galaxy phones.

The 4.7-inch screen of the iPhone 5 has been increased to 5.5-inches for the iPhone 6 Plus.

The Galaxy Note 4’s display measures 5.7 inches diagonally, slightly larger than the biggest iPhone. The Note series comes with a stylus that Samsung calls “S Pen” for note taking and drawing.

Samsung moved forward its launch schedule for the new Note phone from October after Apple announced the iPhone 6 with a bigger screen.

U.S. sales of the Galaxy Note 4 will start on Oct. 17.

Samsung said the Galaxy Note Edge, which has a curved side screen that serves as a second screen to display weather information, clocks and menu buttons, will start going on sale in late October.

Wind energy proposal would light Los Angeles homes

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An alliance of four companies proposed an $8 billion project Tuesday that within a decade could send wind power generated on the plains of Wyoming to households in Southern California.

If approved and financed, the sprawling venture would produce clean power equivalent to the output of a large nuclear power plant by creating one of the country’s largest wind farms near Cheyenne, a huge energy storage site inside Utah caverns and a 525-mile electric transmission line connecting them.

“This would certainly be one of the most ambitious and expensive energy infrastructure projects we have seen,” said Travis Miller, an industry analyst for investment research giant Morningstar Inc. “Energy storage, paired with renewable energy, has been the holy grail of utilities and energy companies.”

it as “the 21st century’s Hoover Dam,” referring to the 726-foot high span across the Colorado River that for decades has produced hydroelectric power for Nevada, Arizona, and California.

The announcement came on the same day that President Barack Obama pressed world leaders to follow the United States’ lead on climate change in a one-day United Nations summit aimed to gather support for a climate change treaty to reduce heat-trapping pollution.

The new proposal, with a tentative completion date of 2023, would potentially generate twice as much energy as the 1930s-era dam. Success hinges on a string of uncertainties, including clearing government regulatory hurdles and striking agreements to sell the power that would be essential to secure financing.

With potential shifts in government policy, environmental regulation and the economics of producing green power “any infrastructure project that looks

not prosecuting wind energy companies for killing eagles and other protected birds.

A lynchpin in the plan would be a $1.5 billion energy storage site near Delta, Utah, 130 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The rural area already is home to one coal-powered plant that generates electricity for Los Angeles County.

With the push for pollution-free energy sources that can help reduce greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, billions of dollars have been invested in wind and solar projects.

Finding an economical way to store renewable energy, however, has been a key

residents nestled below sandstone bluffs on the high prairie.

A decade ago, in a desperate bid to revive their economically depressed community, town officials sold city lots for $100 apiece on the condition that the buyer would build a house and live there at least two years.

Results were mixed, at best: Chugwater’s population dropped 11 percent from 2000 to 2012, even as Wyoming’s overall economy grew and population increased.

If completed, it would become Wyoming’s secondlargest wind power project.

The biggest is a 1,000-turbine site planned by The Anschutz Corp. That project near Saratoga, in southcentral Wyoming, is the largest under development in the U.S. The rapid growth in wind power has come with a cost, however. The U.S. government estimates at least 85 eagles are killed each year by wind turbines. An Associated Press investigation in 2013 revealed that the Obama administration was

out nine, ten years, has a lot of uncertainties,” Miller, the analyst, said.

Pathfinder Energy, Magnum Energy, Dresser-Rand and Duke-American Transmission Co. said in a statement they plan to submit the blueprint to the Southern California Public Power Authority by early 2015.

California agency officials said they were unaware of the proposal. The authority has been seeking proposals to supply the Los Angeles region with renewable power required under state law.

The new plan “would be competing with 200 other proposals,” said Steven Homer, the director of project management for the authority, whose members deliver electricity to approximately 2 million customers.

Wind development in Wyoming’s wide expanses has surged in the past decade as companies and state officials seek cleaner alternatives to coal.

The proposed wind power development near Chugwater would be a boon to the sleepy ranching town of 216

issue.

Under the proposal, the energy would be stored through a compressed-air system using caverns, similar to a system that has been used in Alabama since the early 1990s.

When energy demand is low, excess electricity would be used to compress and inject high-pressure air into the four caverns, each of which would have 41 million cubic feet of volume. At times of high energy demand, the high-pressure air would be combined with a small amount of natural gas to power eight electricity-producing generators.

Celebrate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Meet Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) cradles his dogs.

Early childhood Roald was born Sept. 13, 1916, in Llandaff, Wales, the youngest of five kids. Two younger sisters were born later. His parents were from Norway.

Roald had some hard times. When he was only 3, his 7-year-old sister, Astri, died from a burst appendix. A few weeks later, their father caught pneumonia and died.

His mother then had to take care of six kids on her own. She decided to stay in Wales rather than return to her home in Norway. She had friends in Wales, and Roaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father had wanted the children to go to English schools. (Wales and England are both part of Great Britain.)

After kindergarten, Roald went to a harsh all-boys school in Wales. At that time, teachers in Great Britain were allowed to punish kids by hitting them with a cane. This was called caning.

Roald liked to play pranks. One time, he and his friends put a dead mouse into a jar of candy at a shop because they were mad at the crabby owner. The head of the school, or the headmaster, caned him hard while the candy shop owner watched.

When his mom saw the bruises covering his body, she was furious.

She pulled him from the school as soon as that school term was done.

Roald is about 9 in this picture and ready to enter his first boarding school.

Many of his books and stories have been made into movies and TV shows.

He wrote for adults as well as for kids.

He also wrote poems and pamphlets and co-wrote a cookbook that featured chocolate.

He wrote movie screenplays based on two books by his war buddy Ian Fleming: the James Bond movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Only Live Twice,â&#x20AC;? and the family movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.â&#x20AC;?

Riff grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When he was a teenager, he got a type of cancer called acute myeloid leukemia. For a time, he had to be isolated in the hospital because his immune system was so weak.

He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music played a very practical part in my treatment.â&#x20AC;? It helped him keep his spirits up so he could heal.

After he got well, he earned a college degree in songwriting. He began writing and singing and started a band of musical puppets. The profits from all of his CDs and DVDs go to charities helping children and cancer patients. He is now cancer-free. from The Mini Page Š 2014 Universal Uclick

The Good, the Bad, and the Icky Boarding school

The chocolate factory

When he was 9, Roald had to go to boarding school, where the boys lived in dormitories away from home.

Lucy Dahl said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father hated boarding school because he loved his mother and sisters very much and missed them terribly.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, teachers there caned students for breaking small rules, such as talking during study hall.

Roaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryâ&#x20AC;? sprang from treats sent to his boarding school.

Every so often, a nearby chocolate factory, Cadbury, sent chocolate bars for the students to test. %ACH BOY RECEIVED A BOX WITH experimental chocolate bars, each with a separate filling. Cadbury asked the boys to rate each type of bar and write comments about each.

Roald realized chocolate makers had actual inventing rooms. He daydreamed of working in one someday.

Later, he turned those dreams into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.â&#x20AC;?

Roald never lost his love for chocolate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was growing up, as a family, we never ate dessert,â&#x20AC;?

Lucy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead, we brought out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the chocolate box.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We always ate chocolate after lunch and supper. As it was a usual occurrence, we always just had a bite or two of whatever we felt like that day.â&#x20AC;?

When Eddie was a teenager, his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home was destroyed by flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After moving several times, they eventually settled in a nearby town. Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football abilities later provided him with new opportunities.

He attended the University of Alabama, helping the PROGRAM CAPTURE THREE NATIONAL TITLES AND In his final appearance with the Crimson Tide, Lacy was NAMED THE "#3 .ATIONAL #HAMPIONSHIP 'AME S -60 in a victory over Notre Dame. Eddie was drafted by Green Bay that spring, and won the starting job in his first season.

The Packers lost starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers to INJURY FOR MUCH OF THE SEASON BUT %DDIE PICKED UP THE slack. He rushed for 1,178 yards and scored 11 touchdowns on his way to being named NFL Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press.

Dealing with bullies When he was 13, Roald went to an even rougher boarding school. The headmaster gave painful canings.

Younger boys had to do anything the older boys told them to do, or the older boys would beat them.

Roaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst task was to warm up the toilet seat for an older boy. The bully made Roald go to the outhouse in the winter and sit on the toilet seat to warm it. Roald carried a book to read while sitting in the outhouse.

Roald loved photography. At his last boarding school, the art teacher let Roald set up his own darkroom. He learned how to print his own pictures. Students did not have film at the time. They had to print from big glass negatives.

Photographers could not shoot as many shots as they can today.

The teacher put on an exhibit of student work that featured Roaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos.

Throughout his life, Roald won several prizes for his photos.

B6 Wednesday, September 24, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I am a 42-year -old divorced father of two. I have had a girlfriend, “Dawn,” for about a year.

She has met my kids, but she’s still uncomfortable with the “situation.” She has concerns about me having been married before, such as having experienced many of the firsts she has yet to enjoy.

Dawn doesn’t like being in my house because I had it when I was married, and she says my kids remind her of my past. She says she doesn’t want to share me with anyone, including them.

When we’re alone, we are absolutely phenomenal as a cou-

ple. We love and care about each other deeply. This is causing a tremendous amount of stress on us, and neither of us knows how to handle it or what to do. Please help.

TWO’S COMPANY IN ILLINOIS DEAR TWO’S COMPANY: Forgive me for being blunt, but you need to break it off with this woman before you waste any more of her time or yours. You may be crazy about Dawn, but your first responsibility must be to your children, and she has made it clear how she feels about them.

You may be phenomenal as a couple, but there are more people involved than just the two of you.

She needs to find someone who has no encumbrances, and you need to find a lady who has a greater capacity for love than Dawn appears to be capable of. ##### DEAR ABBY: I often eat out with friends when we travel and when we’re here at home. Some of them bring their own canned drinks or powdered

drink mix to add to water served by the restaurant. I have an uneasy feeling about this. I don’t think it is right to take my own drink into an eating establishment.

I have never said anything negative about it, but I haven’t joined in the practice. Is my discomfort MY problem? What do you think about this?

TESTY SOUTHERN BELLE

DEAR BELLE: What I think about it is less important than what the restaurant does, and not knowing the reason your friends behave this way, I am hesitant to judge them.

I’m not sure what kind of canned or powdered drink your friends are bringing, but if they are on some kind of restricted diet, then it’s what they need do for a while. If the restaurant objected, the manager would either tell your friends not to do it anymore or institute a charge to make up for the lost income. ##### DEAR ABBY: I have been with “Russell” for

four months. We live together and eventually would like to be married. Russ is very honest. He told me he had impregnated a woman prior to me and she was eight months pregnant. I asked him to contact her on my behalf so I can meet her, since we plan on having a future together.

When I called the woman to suggest we meet somewhere, she cursed me out for contacting her and for telling her she can’t communicate with Russ unless I’m involved. When Russ told her the same thing, she ordered him not to contact her again.

Russ has tried calling her since then because he wants to be involved in his child’s life, but she never called him back. What do you think we should do?

Dale, via email

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

No, they are not safe to eat, especially anything acidic, such as tomatoes.

Home-canned foods should be eaten within a year. Unfortunately, you should toss out all of the canned foods. They have been sitting on the shelf too long, and you certainly don’t want to get sick.

For others who can, the quality of food may be affected within just a few months if not canned correctly or stored in a cool, dry place. You should process the amount you know you will use in about a year, or give away to friends and family.

I use a sandwich bag as a makeshift glove. I scoop the shortening and spread it around the pan. This makes it easy to get into those crevices. Cleanup is easy.

Pam R., via email Dear Heloise: While getting prepared for the approaching Hurricane Iselle, here in Maui, Hawaii, I made several pots of coffee and stored them in a large pot in case the power went off for a few days. As we always keep a gallon bottle of water frozen to help keep things cool in case of a power outage, I now keep frozen bottles of coffee, too. In case of prolonged misery, as the bottle thaws we will have coffee, which can be quickly warmed up on the gas barbecue.

For coffee drinkers who cannot function until they get their morning fix, this is a great hint and a way to have something comforting at these times.

Rights of same-sex military spouses vary by state JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) — On the wall over her bunk in Kuwait, Marine Cpl. Nivia Huskey proudly displays a collection of sonogram printouts of the baby boy her pregnant spouse is carrying back home in North Carolina. If all goes as planned, the 28-year-old military policewoman will return to Camp Lejeune in time for a January delivery at an on-base hospital.

But the space on the baby’s birth certificate marked “Father” will be left blank.

Though her wedding in Washington, D.C., to Jessica Painter Huskey is recognized by the federal gover nment, including the military, Cpl. Huskey is assigned to a battalion based in North Carolina, where state law bans same-sex marriage. She is barred from legally adopting her spouse’s biological child, and will have no legal recognition as a parent.

Last year’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act ensured that federal military benefits extend to same-sex partners and their children.

But about two-thirds of active-duty personnel in the U.S. are based in states that don’t recognize gay marriages, leaving thousands of military families missing out on legal rights they would enjoy if Uncle Sam had stationed them elsewhere.

“That is definitely why we would want to stay in California,” said Acosta, a 39-year -old aerospace engineer. “It’s something that we have to think about that most straight couples do not have to think about.”

Same-sex marriage is legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Challenges in other states continue to make their way

through the courts, many of them successfully.

A three-judge federal appeals panel recently upheld a lower court ruling striking down Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban, a legal precedent considered binding on a judge currently considering the constitutionality of North Carolina’s very similar prohibition.

The Virginia ruling, like similar cases in a slew of states, remains on hold and appears headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Huskeys both grew up in an area dominated by peach orchards outside Gaffney, South Carolina.

high school and began dating while in college.

Cpl. Huskey enlisted with the Marine Corps within days of the 2012 repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” They got married last year, just before the Marine shipped out for a war tour in Afghanistan.

Currently in Kuwait, Cpl. Huskey was not available for an interview.

Jessica Huskey spoke at their tidy house outside Jacksonville, a short drive north of the sprawling base where her spouse is posted when stateside.

The home is filled with photos and keepsakes of their nearly 10 years together.

A lawyer, Huskey has put a lot of thought into the potential legal implications of what will happen if their baby is born before the law changes. When a married heterosexual woman has a child in North Carolina, the law presumes her husband to be the biological father — even if the child was in reality conceived through an extramarital affair or by using a reproductive donor.

“A straight couple could be in the exact position we are, their child conceived in the exact same way, but automatically that parent is considered to be the other parent, regardless,”

Huskey said. “That isn’t fair.”

With her spouse barred from having any parental rights, Huskey worries what might happen if she were to get sick or die in an accident. Though she intends to draft a will expressing her desire for their son to remain with her wife, there is no guarantee a state judge will follow those wishes — especially if Jessica Huskey’s blood relatives fight for custody.

In an emergency, Cpl. Huskey won’t be able to make health care decisions on behalf of their child without presenting a medical power of attorney signed by Jessica Huskey.

When it comes time to register for public school, the Marine once again won’t be recognized as a parent.

“What other parent has to carry around a powerof-attor ney for their child?” Huskey asked.

“How much sense does that make?”

The baby will qualify for federal family benefits through Cpl. Huskey’s military service, but only if she registers the child as her stepson.

“I know that’s hard to swallow for Nivia,” Huskey said. “For her, that’s not her stepchild. That’s her son.”

Acosta and his husband feel lucky not have to worry about such legal headaches. The military gave him three weeks of paternity leave to be home with his new baby. Emma, now 2, goes to an on-base daycare. They are in the process of adopting a second child.
