WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says his soon-to-be released budget, already criticized by friends and foes, is not his “ideal plan” but offers “tough reforms” for benefit programs and scuttles some tax breaks for the wealthy.

That’s a mix, he contends, that will provide long-term deficit reduction without harming the economy.

In his first comments about the 2014 spending blueprint he’s set to release Wednesday, Obama said he intends to reduce deficits and provide new money for public works projects, early

First S.O.Y Mariachifest a success

JILL MCLAUGHLIN RECORD STAFF WRITER The vibrant sounds of trumpets, guitars, violins and Spanish poetic lyrics danced through the breeze Saturday afternoon at Cielo Grande Recreation Area as a Roswell-based youth mariachi club entertained guests during its first festival.

The Saving Our Youth (S.O.Y) Mariachifest was a success for the estimated 1,000 men, women and children who brought lawn chairs and blankets to sit and enjoy the day.

“I like all kinds of music, so this is great,” said event-goer Clyde Vargas. “My wife also loves them. All my family loves all kinds of music. They start young, don’t they!”

The City of Roswell doesn’t want to alarm the public Monday and Tuesday, but a series of emergency services siren tests will take place several times throughout the two days as the city makes repairs.

“We really wanted to make sure (the system) works all together and the only way to test that is to test them all,” said Karen Sanders, Roswell’s Emergency Manager.

A technician from Albuquerque will arrive sometime Monday. Shortly after his arrival, the testing will begin, Sanders said.

Only two sites will need repair — one near the Elks pool on East Poe Street and one by Briar Ridge — but because the system is interlinked, all sirens will be set off throughout the day.

The city has 12 sirens, most of them are no newer than 10 years old. Two new sirens were installed last year.

“There is no way to single out a specific siren,” Sanders said. “We ask dispatch to set them all off at once.”

In an emergency, the city uses the sirens to alert the public of an impending threat.

“We just wanted to give everybody a head’s up,” Sanders said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — North Korea is widely recognized as being years away from perfecting the technology to back up its bold threats of a pre-emptive strike on America. But some nuclear experts say it might have the know-how to fire a nuclear -tipped missile at South Korea and Japan, which host U.S. military bases.

No one can tell with any certainty how much technological progress North Korea has made, aside from perhaps a few people close to its secretive leadership.

This March 29 file photo shows a help wanted sign at a barber shop in Richmond, Va. U.S. employers added just 88,000 jobs in March, the fewest in nine months and a sharp retreat after a period of strong hiring. Many discouraged Americans are giving up the job hunt for school, retirement and disability.

bler, who is in her mid-30s and is blind. “The only way I’m able to sustain any semblance of selfpreservation is to rely on government programs that I have no desire to be on.”

Baebler’s frustrating experience has become all too common nearly fo ur y ea rs aft er th e Gr eat Recession ended: Many Americans are still so discouraged that they’ve given up on the job market.

Older Americans have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Others have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens. Some, like Baebler, are collecting disability checks.

It isn’t supposed to be this way.

After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to bring people back into the job market.

Instead, the number of Americans in the labor force — those who have a job or are looking for one — fell by nearly half a million people from February to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force — what’s called the participation rate —

fell to 63.3 percent last month.

It’s the lowest such figure since May 1979.

The falling participation rate tarnished the only apparent good news in the jobs report the Labor Department released Friday: The unemployment rate dropped to a four -year low of 7.6 percent in March from 7.7 in February.

People without a job who stop look in g for on e ar e n o lon ger counted as unemployed. That’s why the U.S. unemployment rate dropped in March despite weak hiring. If the 496,000 who left the labor force last month had still been looking for jobs, the unemployment rate would have risen to 7.9 percent in March.

“Unemployment dropped for all the wrong reasons,” says Craig Alexander, chief economist with TD Bank Financial Gr oup. “It dropped because more workers stopped looking for jobs. It signaled less confidence and optim ism t hat t h er e a r e j ob s o ut there.”

The participation rate peaked at 67.3 percent in 2000, reflectSee LABOR Page A3

well as higher taxes, primarily from the wealthy.

Some details, made public Friday, drew a fierce response from liberals, labor unions and advocates for older Americans.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was not impressed, either.

“It’s a compromise I’m willing to accept in order to move beyond a cycle of shortterm, crisis-driven decision-making, and focus on growing our economy and our middle class for the long run,” Obama said.

Obama proposes spending cuts and revenue increases that would result in $1.8 trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years, replacing $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that are otherwise poised to take effect over the next 10 years.

Counting reductions and higher taxes that Congress and Obama have approved since 2011, the 2014 budget would contribute $4.3 trillion to total deficit reduc-

If true, it is unlikely the North would launch such an attack because the retaliation would be devastating.

The North’s third nuclear test on Feb. 12, which prompted the toughest U.N. Security Council penalties yet, is presumed to have advanced its ability to miniaturize a nuclear device.

Experts say it’s easier to design a nuclear warhead that works on a shorter-range missile than one for an intercontinental missile that could target the U.S. The assessment of David Albright at the Institute for Science and International Security think-tank is that North Korea has the capability to mount a warhead on its Nodong missile, which has a range of 800 miles (1,280 kilometers) and could hit in South Korea and most of Japan.

He said in his analysis, published after the latest nuclear test, that it is an uncertain estimate, and the warhead’s reliability remains unclear.

Albright contends that the

tion by 2023.

The main deficit reduction elements of the plan incorporate an offer Obama made to Boehner in December when both sought to avoid automatic, across-the-board spending cuts and broad tax increases Obama’s plan includes $580 billion in new taxes that Republicans oppose.

There’s also a new inflation for mula, rejected by many liberals, that would reduce the annual cost of living adjustments for a range of government programs, including Social Security and benefits for veterans.

In his address, Obama said he would achieve deficit reduction by making “tough reforms” to Medicare and enacting “common-sense tax reform that includes closing wasteful tax loopholes for the wealthy and well-connected.”

Obama made no mention of the effect his budget would have on Social Security and other social safety net programs. That idea drew a hostile reaction from some of his most ardent political backers.

An Associated Press-GfK poll conducted late last year found that 49 percent of those asked were opposed to changing the

experience of Pakistan could serve as precedent.

Pakistan bought the Nodong from North Korea after its first flight test in 1993, then adapted and produced it for its own use.

Pakistan, which conducted its first nuclear test in 1998, is said to have taken less than 10 years to miniaturize a warhead before that test, Albright said.

North Korea also obtained technology from the trafficking network of A.Q. Khan, a disgraced pioneer of Pakistan’s nuclear program, acquiring centrifuges for enriching uranium.

According to the Congressional Research Service, Khan may also have supplied a Chinese-origin nuclear weapon design he provided to Libya and Iran, which could have helped the North in developing a warhead for a ballistic missile.

But Siegfried Hecker at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation, who has visited North Korea seven times and been granted unusual access to its nuclear facilities, is skeptical the North has advanced that far in miniaturization of a nuclear device.

The poll found 30 percent supported the idea and 15 percent were neutral. Of those opposed to a recalculation, 32 percent said they “strongly opposed” the change, compared with just 11 percent who strongly support it.

Obama rejected a House Republican plan that aims to balance the budget in 10 years with steep cuts in domestic spending.

His remarks reflected the White House’s argument that Obama’s blend of tax increases and spending cuts have widespread public support and will ultimately change the terms of the fiscal debate in Washington.

“My budget will reduce our deficits not with aimless, reckless spending cuts that hurt students and seniors and middleclass families, but through the balanced approach that the American people prefer, and the investments that a growing economy demands,” he said.

Still, Obama has been unable to move House Republicans from their opposition

even they don’t know for sure,” he said in an emailed response to questions from The Associated Press. “I agree that we cannot rule it out for one of their shorter-range missiles, but we simply don’t know.”

“Thanks to A.Q. Khan, they almost certainly have designs for such a device that could fit on some of their short- or mediumrange missiles,” said Hecker, who last visited the North in November 2010. “But it is a long way from having a design and having confidence that you can put a warhead on a missile and have it survive the thermal and mechanical stresses during launch and along its entire trajectory.”

The differing opinions underscore a fundamental problem in assessing a country as isolated as North Korea, particularly its weapons programs: solid proof is very hard to come by.

For example, the international community remains largely in the dark about the latest underground nuclear test.

“The president should drop these misguided cuts in benefits and focus instead on building support in Congress for investing in jobs,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement Friday.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback delivered the Republican radio and Internet address, arguing that “the ideas on how to fix the federal government are now percolating in the states.”

“You see, you don’t change America by changing Washington — you change America by changing the states,” he said. “And that’s exactly what Republican governors are doing across the country — taking a different approach to grow their states’ economies and fix their governments with ideas that work.

would help reveal whether North Korea has managed to produce highly enriched uranium, giving it a new source of fissile material, and help determine the type and sophistication of the North’s warhead design.

The guessing game about the North’s nuclear weapons program dates back decades.

Albright says that in the early 1990s, the CIA estimated that North Korea had a “first-generation” design for a plutonium device that was likely to be deployed on the Nodong missile — although it’s not clear what information that estimate was based on.

“Given that 20 years has passed since the deployment of the Nodong, an assessment that North Korea successfully developed a warhead able to be delivered by that missile is reasonable,” Albright wrote.

According to Nick Hansen, a retired intelligence expert who closely monitors developments in the North’s weapons programs, the Nodong missile was first flight-tested in 1993. Pakistan claims to have re-engineered the missile and successfully tested it, although doubts apparently persist about its reliability.

Whether North Korea has also figured out how to wed the missile with a nuclear warhead has major ramifications not just for South Korea and Japan, but for the U.S. itself, which counts those nations as its principal allies in Asia and retains 80,000 troops in the two countries.

U.S. intelligence appears to have vacillated in its assessments of North Korea’s capabilities.

In April 2005, Lowell Jacoby, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that North Korea had the capability to arm a missile with a nuclear device. Pentagon officials, however, later backtracked.

According to the Congressional Research Service, a report from the same intelligence agency to Congress in August 2007 said that “North Korea has short and medium-range missiles that could be fitted with nuclear weapons, but we do not know whether it has in fact done so.”

In an interview Friday in Germany, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the U.S. does not know whether North Korea has “weaponized” its nuclear capability.

mariachi band play on stage. A line of violinists, a guitarron and two guitars lighted up the stage as a singer joined in.

Dulce Rivera, a mother of mariachi violinist Nathan Padilla, was busy backstage helping the children prepare for the stage.

“It’s just to keep our tradition going,” said Rivera. “It’s very classic. They have to be well-mannered well-groomed, and present themselves very well. All of that comes with the music.”

Bobby Villegas, director and founder of S.O.Y. Mariachi was happy with the turnout for the first event.

“The weather is awesome and the community has responded extremely well,” Villegas said.

The City of Roswell, Xcel Energy, the Chamber of Commerce and other sponsors helped make the event happen. Villegas thanked instructor Sally Anderson and the Roswell Women’s Club as avid supporters of the school.

S.O.Y Mariachi is a free youth school, for children ages 5 to 18, located on 1120 South Grande Ave. Children attend every Tuesday night for nearly three hours to learn music and a variety of instruments, which are provided for them.

The children are not only taught music, but also taught how to be gentlemen and gentlewomen, Villegas said.

“We follow pillars of character,” he said.

“We have zero tolerance. We expect our kids to maintain at least a C average at school and no smoking or drinking. In 18 years, we have not lost one kid to drugs or alcohol.”

The school also teaches the children how

to speak in public, meditate and learn self respect, he said.

“We build a fire in the child, not under the child,” Villegas said.

When they get old enough and can play 15 songs by heart, they can start performing. Scholarships are available for the students when they graduate high school. A majority of the children go on to college or to the military.

“It prepares you for life,” Villegas said “If you have a degree and are a musician, you’re never broke.”

Sara Montgomery is a teacher at the school. She has volunteered for 18 years without compensation.

“I love the music and I love the kids,” Montgomery said. “It’s a joy. I can’t say enough positive things. This is the third generation of kids we’ve had.”

When she still taught music in the school system, Montgomery said she was

teaching on the south side of the city and started seeing parents listening to the mariachi music. She thought if she could teach the children how to play, she could reach the families. “And it worked,” Montgomery said.

“It’s important that we never lose sight of our history and a very important part of our culture,” said Roswell Mayor Del Jurney, who welcomed the crowd on stage.

“It’s a very special and very important event for us to share with the citizens of Roswell and for those who have come in from out of town.”

Monica Lopez, of Roswell, sat in the back with her young children and husband.

“It’s something different and it’s nice to hear,” Lopez said.

The event also had several food, drink and trinket vendors.

Navajo Nation bill aims to remove attorney general UNM regents consider new way of charging students ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — University of New Mexico regents are considering a proposal that would raise tuition for some students by double digits.

Undergraduate students who are taking 12 credit hours or less would see a 14 percent increase next year if regents approve a new way of charging students, the Albuquerque Journal reported (http://bit.ly/12qIvfQ).

Several regents already have criticized the proposal, which was unveiled Friday.

It calls for charging students for each credit hour they take instead of a block of credit hours. Now, all full-time students who take 12 or more credits pay the same tuition.

Under the plan, students who take 12 hours would see their tuition and fees rise from the current $6,050 to $6,918 annually. Those who take 15 hours would see an increase to $6,657.

Revenue from the tuition increase would be used to pay for a proposed 3 percent pay raise for faculty and a 1 percent raise for staff. One-fifth of the revenue would go toward financial aid.

The proposal did not have enough votes during Friday’s budget summit to go to the Board of Regents with a recommendation. Still, the board plans to review it during a meeting Tuesday.

Regent Gene Gallegos said the proposal would create a hardship for students.

However, administrators said it would benefit the university in the long term. They argue that charging less per credit hour to those students who take heavier loads provides incentive to stay on track and finish their studies faster.

“If we’re going to change the culture of students that come to this university, we’re going to have to demand more of our students,” UNM President Bob Frank said.

The university has been trying to increase its six-year graduation rate, which currently stands at a little more than 45 percent.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The top legal official on the Navajo Nation is being targeted for removal from office over his work on water rights and issues related to coal.

Harrison Tsosie was appointed as attorney general in 2011 by Tribal President Ben Shelly and confirmed by the Tribal Council.

He previously served as deputy attorney general and ran unsuccessfully for tribal president.

Co-sponsors of legislation to oust Tsosie say he hasn’t adequately served tribal lawmakers. They say he has disregarded their suggestions on negotiations for a settlement of the tribe’s water rights to the Little Colorado River basin, the potential purchase of a coal mine, and a lease extension for the coal-fired Navajo Generating Station near Page.

Shelly said he is open to hearing the lawmakers’ grievances but doesn’t know specifically why some want to remove Tsosie. Shelly said lawmakers should consider whether the move would best serve the Navajo people.

“Of all the laws and codes that could be updated, is this really worth pursuing?” said Erny Zah, a spokesman for Shelly. “Is the AG really hindering the growth of the Navajo government and the Navajo people to the point he has to be removed? How is he hurting the people?

How subjective are those reasons? Those are some of the real questions.”

Tsosie didn’t return repeated messages from The Associated Press seeking

comment.

The legislation’s primary sponsor, Dwight Witherspoon, declined to comment on it. But three of the cosponsors said Tsosie has presented the council with too few options on some of the most critical issues facing the tribe. The legislation is going through council committees but hasn’t yet been scheduled for a vote by the full council.

Delegate Leonard Tsosie said the council’s Resources and Development Committee had instructed the attorney general to contact former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl’s office to remove a provision for the Navajo Generating Station from legislation that would recognize the tribe’s rights to water in the Little Colorado River basin.

Leonard Tsosie said that wasn’t done.

“He failed to follow his client instruction and later on gave us an excuse, saying that he would carry out the instruction if it was the whole council telling him to do so,” Leonard Tsosie said.

Delegate Joshua Lavar Butler said the council also had asked Harrison Tsosie to set up a due diligence section within the Navajo Department of Justice to look into the pros and cons of the tribe buying a coal mine. Butler said the council would not have approved $3 million in spending for an outside firm to conduct the study had Harrison Tsosie done so.

“If anything, this will send him that message that he is easily replaceable,” Butler said.

because everyone has an idea of what avenue to take,” said Henry, who served as the tribe’s attorney general from 1999 to 2003. “It’s trying to get all those individuals — if it’s the lawmakers, or the president, or the vice president, or any of the executive branch directors — to hear that advice and make a decision.”

Delegate Russell Begaye hasn’t decided which way to vote on Harrison Tsosie, but he would like to see a change in the approach the attorney general takes when working with the council.

Begaye said he often gets the sense that the tribe is set in its old ways instead of pursuing new, innovative ways to move forward.

“If the removal of the attorney general will solve these issues, these questions I have, then I will support it,” Begaye said. “But if the attorney general is willing to really work with the council and look at these issues from a different perspective, then I will support the attorney general remaining. I’m just looking for a change.”

boy outlined a dozen reasons he’d like to see someone else in Harrison Tsosie’s job. Maryboy said Tsosie is out of touch with Navajo culture, discourages economic development, gives Shelly bad advice, and doesn’t understand state and federal budgets.

Zah said the law firm hired to do a financial and legal analysis of purchasing the Navajo Mine near Farmington, N.M., specializes in aspects of the coal mining business. He said lawmakers have been given the opportunity to provide input on negotiating water rights and a lease extension for the power plant, but few have showed up to meetings.

As attorney general, Harrison Tsosie heads the tribe’s Justice Department under its executive branch but serves at the pleasure of the Tribal Council. He survived an attempt at removing him from office in his final month as deputy attorney general under Joe Shirley Jr.’s administration.

Harrison Tsosie’s boss at the time, Louis Denetsosie, survived at least three votes in the Tribal Council to oust him. The council reprimanded Denetsosie in 2003, saying he favored the executive branch over the tribe as a whole.

Serving both the executive and legislative branches can be politically tricky. The key is to explain the law to clients and their options within the bounds of the law, said former Navajo Attorney General Levon Henry.

New pope receives popularity honeymoon A4 Sunday, April 7, 2013

OPINION

MARK SHIELDS CREATORS SYNDICATE

In politics, maybe even in life, perception frequently becomes reality. If enough people see you as a winner, then you will be treated like a winner, which means that your calls, even to important strangers whom you have never met, are promptly put through.

Everything becomes a poll.

When other candidates, including former rivals, push to appear on the same platfor m with you, angle to be photographed in the same picture with you or seek to introduce their closest relatives to you, each of these is, for you, a positive poll.

Last week, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life released a real poll that found that American Catholics give the new leader of the Catholic Church an 84 percent favorable rating (42 percent

EDITORIAL

“very favorable” and just 5 percent unfavorable). Pope Francis, less than a month in office, is enjoying what could be called a real political honeymoon.

If you want proof of the new pontiff’s popularity, look at the total about-face toward Pope Francis, the for mer cardinalarchbishop of Buenos Aires, by Argentina’s populist President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

In Argentina, the two had disagreed on public policy, from divorce laws to same-sex marriage, and she had prevailed. But the president, responsive to her anti-clerical supporters, never chose to forge an alliance to aid the Argentine poor by working with then-Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who had refused the chauffeur-driven limousine and the bishop’s palace to instead take the bus to work and live in a two-room apartment where he could cook his own

Roswell Daily Record

meals.

Unprepared for the waves of popularity the modest Pope Francis would inspire both in Argentina and around the globe, Kirchner barely acknowledged his election to succeed Pope Benedict XVI. Scrambling to recover, the president flew to Rome, where after a private lunch with Francis, watched on TV by most of their countrymen, she posed, respectfully, for dozens of photos with him and then miraculously discovered their shared passion for caring for the poor. As I said, everything is a poll.

How has this son of Italian immigrants to Argentina evoked such positive reactions in so many different people, including your faithful correspondent? Consider the Holy Thursday ceremony recalling the Last Supper, where Christ, to teach His disciples what it meant to be a servant, washed the feet of the 12.

As archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had celebrated the washing of the feet not in a splendid cathedral, but among the poorest and most marginalized of his neighbors — in jails, AIDS hospices and homes for single mothers and their babies.

Thus on Holy Thursday 2013 did the 76-year -old Francis become the first pope to kneel on the stone floor of a juvenile detention center in Rome, there to wash, to dry and to kiss the feet of a dozen young prisoners, including those of two Muslims and of two women.

As the Jesuit scholar and writer the Rev. Tom Reese has pointed out, in Buenos Aires, Cardinal Bergoglio “fought the Argentine government when they cut benefits for poor people. He is very concerned about the grave impact of globalization on workers ... .” And, yes, he was roundly criticized by Catholic conserva-

tives because he entered into a prayer service with evangelicals in Argentina. On matters of church teaching, there is unlikely with Pope Francis to be any major disagreements with the theology of Pope Benedict XVI or Pope John Paul II. The moral costs of the sex abuse crimes against powerless children by Catholic priests, enabled and abetted by powerful Catholic bishops, are still incalculable. The estrangement from the church of the young continues. A new pope is not the silver bullet for the church’s problems.

His honeymoon will not last forever. But a humble shepherd who resists ermine and Prada and who cares most for the poor, the strangers and the powerless can truly lift the spirits. © 2013 Mark Shields

Priority call poses problems

The Carlsbad Irrigation District’s announcement Tuesday of plans to request a priority call on water usage smacks of desperation and poses a threat of further damaging an already fragile situation regarding our area’s most vital resource. Inviting the government to address the issue is likely to create a lengthy, expensive and complicated battle fraught with unintended consequences for all parties.

In a nutshell, a priority call restricts the use of water by people with junior water rights until users with more senior water rights have been able to get the water to which they are entitled. During lean times, priority calls ensure water users with the oldest claims aren’t left high and dry by more recent arrivals.

These are indeed lean times. Years of drought conditions have put a serious strain on our region’s water supplies. Water in the Pecos River is further stretched as New Mexico has to ensure Texas gets its allocated amount of water each year.

The situation has gotten so bad the state has purchased water rights from land owners so they will no longer be available for use or, more disturbingly, to use those water rights to pump ground water into the river.

The Carlsbad Irrigation District’s push for a priority call is an exercise in futility which has huge potential to harm many water users with almost no potential benefits to anyone. It will also cost taxpayers huge amounts of money to study and litigate the issue without improving the situation. Consultants and attorneys collecting large fees would be the only winners in this dispute.

Using the threat of a priority call earlier this year, the CID first tried to coerce the state into giving $2.5 million dollars to farmers in the Carlsbad region. When that didn’t work, the CID went forward with pushing for a priority call.

One of the major flaws with the CID’s efforts to get more water is that Carlsbad water users heavily rely on the Pecos River and users here mostly rely on ground water.

While the CID contends reducing ground water usage here will increase the water levels in the river, not everyone agrees. Opponents of the priority call state decreasing the use of ground water will not significantly raise the river’s volume and what small good it might do would take years to happen.

If implemented, the priority call would leave junior users unable to tap into ground water supplies which are of no serious benefit to people who rely on the river. That ground water would sit unused as farmers and ranchers suffered to the gain of no one.

Only the end of drought conditions has the ability to solve the plight of Pecos River water users.

Hopefully the state engineer will see the priority call for what it is and recognize the futility of it. Shutting off junior wells upstream — and undoubtedly some in the CID — will not increase the water in the Pecos River. The time and money a priority call would consume would be better spent on exploring other options.

DEAR READER: My colleagues Dr. Craig Surman and Dr. Timothy Bilkey, with Karen Weintraub, have just written a wonderful new book on this topic. It’s called “Fast Minds: How to Thrive if You Have ADHD (or Think You Might).”

Altering school tests cheats children

My first question after reading about seven teachers in an Atlanta, Ga., public school accused of altering standardized test scores to make it appear students performed better than they actually did was: How could they!?

The seven were nicknamed “the chosen” and, according to Georgia state investigator Richard Hyde, the less than magnificent seven sat in a locked room without windows, erasing wrong answers and inserting correct ones. It’s one thing for a child to cheat on a test; it’s quite another for teachers to do it.

— Reward yourself often.

Everyone needs to feel rewarded for a job well done or a task completed. With ADHD, you may need these rewards more often.

— Install accountability.

According to The New York T imes, the scandal goes beyond cheating. Retired district superintendent Beverly L. Hall is among 35 Atlanta educators indicted by a Fulton County grand jury.

Life lessons from a Final Four coach OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

Basketball’s March Madness has given way to April’s Final Four. A journey of 68 teams has sent 66 teams home ending their season with a loss and leaving two to play for the National Championship. Every year excitement mounts as we each try our hand at filling in brackets of college teams whom we think will advance to the next round.

My wife and I, avid Baylor Lady Bears fans, follow closely the women’s NCAA field which has been narrowed down to four teams. Although they didn’t make it this year, we have had the opportunity to cheer for Baylor at the Final Four twice over the past three seasons.

So what does basketball have to do with life? The short answer is “plenty.” There are things that our children experience and learn from participating on sports teams that are virtually impossible to teach in the classroom.

One of my heroes is a man whom I share a birthday with, John Wooden. He has won more NCAA National Championships than any other basketball coach, men’s or women. Nicknamed the “Wizard of Westwood” as coach of the UCLA Bruins, he won 10 national championships over a 12-year span, including seven in a row. In one stretch his team won 88 consecutive games.

John Wooden passed away two years ago at age 99, but his wisdom and legacy lives on. Through his role as coach he equipped those he led with tools for a lifetime of success. His life lesson arena just happened be through

RICK KRAFT

JUST A THOUGHT

coaching.

Recently I came across an article titled “10 Lessons from John Wooden.” The article expanded basketball lessons into life lessons. So, in honor of March Madness and the Final Four, I will share his wisdom with you.

Lesson number one is to “Be True to Yourself.” This is the first creed that was passed down to coach Wooden from his father. To make an impact on others in the lives we live, we must first take a look at ourselves. Our ability to impact others begins from within.

We must understand ourselves and the gifts, talents and weaknesses that each of us have been given. Stay true to what you are best suited for and do not compromise your values.

Lesson number two is to “Always Keep Moving.” Whether it is on the basketball floor or in life, we each need to “Move, move, move!” We must be people of action. Whether we are coming off a success or a failure, stopping is not an option. Regardless of what happened yesterday, we must take action today. We can’t influence the world without taking

action. Coach Wooden would say, “Be quick, but not in a hurry.”

Lesson three is “Make Each Day Your Masterpiece.” Carpe diem. Seize the day. If we measure our life one day at a time, we will recognize that each day has a value. Coach Wooden said, “Perform at your best when your best is required, and your best is required each day.” When you go to bed tonight, has your day today been a masterpiece?

Lesson four is “Help Others.”

We often live our lives being selfish rather than maximizing our gifts for the benefit of others. Live with a compassionate and understanding heart for others. Living solely for yourself will lead to a lonely and singular existence.

What you receive dies with you, what you give lives on after you are gone.

Lesson five is “Ear ned, Not Entitled.” I think this is a major problem with the world as it exists in the 2010's. If we live life with the “entitled” mentality, we live disappointed because of what we don’t get. If we live life with an “earned” mentality, we will appreciate what we work hard for and what we receive in return. It is the difference between an “others centered world” and an “I am entitled to” selfish existence. To truly go far in life, realize you’re not owed anything and if you want something, work unbelievably hard for it.

Lesson six is “Drink Deeply From Good Books, Especially the Bible.” The concept here is to be careful what you pour into your head. The formula is simple: junk

Sunday, April 7, 2013

in equals junk out. What are you allowing to influence you? Coach Wooden would say to carefully filter and analyze the content and motives of your sources of information. Read well to live well.

Lesson seven is “Make Friendship a Fine Art.” Choose wisely who you surround yourself with.

Each friend you keep is an influence on you, good or bad. Cherish close relationships and work on them the same way you work on family relationships. End a bad relationship if necessary.

Lesson eight is “Build a Shelter Against a Rainy Day.” Too often life is lived without being prepared for the storm ahead. Rainy days will come to each of us, understand and accept this.

There is a saying that our lives are always lived in one of three arenas: entering a storm, in a stor m or leaving a stor m.

Whether it is a financial crisis, the loss of a loved one, or any other unexpected happening, be prepared in advance, before the storm hits.

Lesson nine is “Gratitude.” Live life with an attitude of gratitude.

Coach Wooden taught his players to point to the player who passed them the ball after they score a basket. What we are able to accomplish is always based on the contribution of others. Create a daily habit of taking a moment of solitude to humbly express gratitude for the great many blessings of this life. Let others know you’re grateful for them. Be the most grateful person you know.

Lesson 10 is “Character Mat-

the fashionable theory of school reform — requiring that pay and job security for teachers, principals and administrators depend on their students’ standardized test scores — is at best a wellintentioned mistake, and at worst nothing but a racket.”

Robinson quotes Post education reporter Valerie Strauss, who has written that while there have been “dozens” of allegations of cheating around the country, “only Atlanta’s has been aggressively and thoroughly investigated.” Strauss wrote, “We don’t really know” how widespread the problem might be. Isn’t it long past time to find out?

The problem is that a monopoly always protects itself. The teachers’ unions and many Democratic politicians, who receive their campaign contributions, oppose school choice, which would improve not only public schools, but also the chances of poor and minority children to have a better life. The current approach appears to be to keep disadvantaged children in underperforming schools so that underperforming teachers keep their jobs and the politicians they support keep theirs. As long as the monopoly survives, we can expect more cheating and corner -cutting and less real achievement for children who ought to be everyone’s first concern.

Instead, as Atlanta would suggest, public school children are subject to all

what organizations didn’t interest them.

Whenever a piece of mail arrived from one of those organizations, they just chucked it without opening it. That left a smaller pile of mail to open and attend to. Simple, perhaps — but such simple routines can help someone with ADHD function better.

— Use peripheral brains. This is something outside yourself that can help you with everyday functioning. Set

an alarm reminder, put a note on your calendar, make a to-do list. For anyone, but particularly for anyone with ADHD, going to the grocery store without a todo list is a bad idea.

— Remind yourself what is meaningful to you. Keeping a larger goal in mind can make a dramatic difference in your motivation, patience and determination.

ters.” The heart of coach Wooden’s message was the life he lived.

Your actions and deeds spread far and wide. None of us will ever know how far our influence on others spreads. Some influences extend outward to countless lives and downward to generations that follow. Live a life of good moral character. One that is worth others following.

These are 10 lessons that expand beyond the basketball floor from a coach who made a difference one life at a time and in the process influenced millions.

My challenge to you today is to take your God-given gifts and put them in action making each day of your life a masterpiece. Help others as you ear n what you receive without an entitlement mentality. Choose good influences in your life as you develop friendships while preparing for the storm ahead. Live a life of gratitude with character that is worth others catching.

Put these 10 lessons together and go out there and be a winner on the basketball court of life.

Live a life that coach Wooden would be proud of. One that makes a positive impact on those you interact with.

manner of manipulation and disservice by people charged with educating them.

Perhaps if parents had the freedom to send their children to a school they believed would offer them a better shot at true success they would fare better.

Could school choice be the answer?

Indiana thinks so. Last month, the state’s Supreme Court upheld a voucher program that gives poor and middleclass families access to tax dollars to help them pay private school tuition.

Parents should decide where their children go to school.

It’s not the children who cannot achieve. It’s the system that fails them.

“Our schools desperately need to be fixed,” writes Robinson. “But creating a situation in which teachers are more likely than students to cheat cannot be the right path. ... Students are not widgets. I totally reject the idea that students from underprivileged neighborhoods cannot learn. Of course they can.”

Authorities should pursue investigations of alleged cheating by teachers and school administrators. Meanwhile, for this and many other reasons, the school choice movement is gaining strength. It is seen by increasing numbers of Americans as the best way to prevent cheating children out of the decent education they deserve.

A6 Sunday, April 7, 2013 LETTERS

Golf course’s new name To Whom It May Concern: We, the undersigned, as concerned citizens of this community, are very alar med at the prospect of our golf course with its landmark name of Spring River being changed to something else after all these years. Most of us grew up with that golf course and that name and we do not want to lose that history and heritage.

Most folks that we have spoken to did not even know about this prospect until it came out in the Roswell Daily Record on Sunday and then the follow up article on Tuesday. We certainly did not know about it. Yet, it was stated that there was a vast majority of people who were backing this venture. Who are these folks and how is it that they knew about this when other local citizens did not? We are talking about people that read the newspaper from cover to cover every single day.

This all seems very unfair and unjust and not a good representation of the citizens of this city.

It does seem that one building representing the Nancy Lopez name is enough for a small community as Roswell. It seems lopsided and prejudiced for her name to be one more than one place in this city when we have many deserving folks who were born and raised here and still live here and have had many deserving accomplishments; such as teachers, principals of schools, doctors, lawyers, and business owners. We have many fine women and men who have lost their lives in several wars and yet none of them will probably ever have their name put on anything in this city. So, why then should one woman golfer who played the game fairly well have her name on more than one thing in this community. She has been honored with the school building and that is enough.

Why should names that have been in the community ever be changed. If you want to build something new then put a name on that but please do nor change landmark historical names that folks are familiar with and pleased with.

Another point that we are concerned with is that this woman does not take pride in this community or this state. She does not live here, nor did she come back to live here after she retired.

What has she ever given back to this community? When was the last time that she ever set foot on that golf course? When has she ever come and played in the Spring River Sun Classic golf tournament or lent her name for a fund raiser of any kind to further the course or this city. If she lived here in this community or even this state and supported New Mexico with her taxes, etc then it might be a different matter, indeed. She does not. She has lived in Georgia and Florida. She already has a golf course with her name on it in the state of Florida.

I think one golf course with ones name on it is quite enough.

Some of us are avid golfers. We contribute to the spring river golf course by playing on it. One of us has been to the Kraft-Nabisco LPGA championship in Palm Springs, CA. many times and watched Nancy play several

TODAY IN HISTORY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OPINION III times. Whenever one would wave(when she was not busy) and say “Roswell says Hi” she would act as if she did not know what we were talking about. She was not responsive to the name Roswell. This same response happened at least three different occasions. Yet, another, New Mexico golfer, Rose Jones, always smiles and waves if you say “Hi from New Mexico “ to her. If you read any of Nancy’s credentials you will not find the name Roswell, New Mexico associated with her at all. This is proof enough to me that she does not deserve to have her name attached to any thing more in this city of ours.

If this council really wants to change the name of a landmark then it should be done democratically by taking it to the vote of the entire town thru a poll during an election of some sort. Not to be changed by just the whim of a few folks.

We trust that you will take into consideration the voice of those who do not want this venture to transpire. That you will realize there are good reasons why we do not think this venture is good for the city at all and why you should leave our historical landmark names, buildings, and the like alone and never change them at someones whim.

Sincerely, Mettie P. Cummins and Willie L. Cummins Roswell

In 1927, the image and voice of Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover were transmitted live from Washington to New York in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television.

In 1939, Italy invaded Albania, which was annexed less than a week later.

In 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific” opened on Broadway.

In 1959, a referendum in Oklahoma repealed the state’s ban on alcoholic beverages.

In 1966, the U.S. Navy recovered a hydrogen bomb that the U.S. Air Force had lost in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain following a B-52 crash.

har mless.” Roswell has been receiving this money.

Now that state legislature is in need of money, they have reneged on their promise and are taking the money away from the cities and towns instead of having the political fortitude to reinstall the tax. Governor Martinez has said on more than one occasion that she would veto any bill that would do away with “hold harmless.” It now appears that she will sign the bill.

The cost to the City of Roswell is estimated at $3.4 million per year, or about 11% of our gross receipts tax. Starting in two years, July 2-15, the reduction will be phased over fifteen years which is about 6% — 7% per year. A generous provision in the bill states that cities and towns can implement their own tax of an additional 3/8%. (.0375) The City Council gets to be the “bad guys.” The state legislature and governor can say “we didn’t raise taxes.” The other suggestion that has been reported was that cities and towns could always “cut expenses.” It is noted that the state cut their expenses by raising their budget by 4.4%. The Roswell city budget is flat this year.

As the old saying goes in politics, “a promise is not a commitment.”

Our citizens are the victims. With this kind of leadership, little wonder that New Mexico sits at the bottom of all states for economic development. Food for thought.

Unsolvable Issues Dear Editor, Ever since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school the radio stations and newspapers have been full of everyone saying they have the right to own guns and that no one will take their guns away. Why is there any need to discuss this? The time for significant gun control would have been two hundred years ago. Exceptions could have been made for farmers and ranchers and guns could be leased for limited times by sportsmen. That sounds complicated but at least the only people with firearms would be law enforcement and military. But as you know it’s way too late for that. Everyone has guns and can get more guns.

One thing to keep in mind is that, on average, about one in four people has a mental disorder. At almost any time (such as in the Connecticut shooting) a mentally ill person can find a gun. It doesn’t matter if the gun was bought legally. My neighbor has many guns and he is definitely mentally ill. So this is a problem with no solution. Leave it to incompetent men to create unsolvable problems. And more incompetent people to waste time discussing those unsolvable problems. Face it, there is no solution to gun violence, immigration, healthcare, national debt, drugs, etc., etc.

The lame efforts by governments to Americans “will watch with resignation and disdain as our broken Congress continues to flounder”. Yes, it’s definitely broken. Even the Supreme Court

Roswell Daily Record Justices will will not remain unbiased (as you expect judges to be) but will decide the way the people that appointed them what them to vote. (That’s why people were so angry at Justice Roberts).

I’m thankful that articles by John Stossel are so clear and explain how things really work. I see that the only hope there was for some change was from candidates like Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. As you saw, the people in charge made sure that they were thoroughly crushed. So now you have big spending, big deficits, lavish vacations and lots of golfing. Who would imagine that with just the Bush and Obama administrations the entire country could go right down the drain! What a mess.

The Chemistry of Life To the Editor: John Watson ("Science versus faith," 29 March 2013) again takes me to task for pointing out commonly understood and wellestablished facts of science. In the face of the amount of disinformation he manages to squeeze into one letter to the editor, it's difficult even to know where to begin.

First, hearing an anti-evolution religious fundamentalism advocate accuse a scientist of not looking at evidence is a little like hearing a wolf accuse a mouse of baying at the moon. For example, in response to my having pointed out that the authors of the Bible knew nothing of science, Mr. Watson claims that they had "holy spirit guiding them."

The evidence he supplies for this claim? Quoting a Bible verse saying that all Bible writing is divinely inspired! That is, these writers infallibly tell everything truthfully because they say they do. I'm not impressed with self-referential evidence.

Speaking of ignoring evidence, Mr. Watson completely ignores my having pointed out that human DNA contains exceedingly strong evidence from our evolutionary past. In particular, if humans (as some religionists claim) have only been around for about 6,000 years, it's a little hard to account for the fact that Human Chromosome 2 contains a section of mid-chromosome telomere code consisting of many repetitions of the nucleotide basepair sequence T-A, T-A, A-T, G-C, G-C, G-C normally occurring only as a buffer on the ends of chromosomes but here marking the exact site of a chromosome fusion that mutation rates show to have occurred at least 100,000 years ago and probably much longer.

This is real science, folks. There is an enormous, intellectually honest, and laboriously established literature on such subjects. (For a scientifically rigorous but readable introduction, see research geneticist Daniel Fairbanks’ excellent book Evolving: The Human Effect and Why it Matters.)

Mr. Watson claims that something so intricate as the human cell could not have arisen through natural processes, but this is inaccurate, given the enor-

mous spans of time involved.

There is nothing particularly remarkable about these things.

DNA, in fact, for all its undeniable fascination, is an exceedingly inefficient phenomenon, considering that the vast majority of the human genome is "junk" DNA so overly mutated that it no longer expresses, i.e. no longer synthesizes proteins out of amino acids, existing only as a relic that copies itself, complete with its multitude of shortcomings and useless structure, like a Xerox machine gone mad. In short, it represents precisely the sort of grossly imperfect phenomenon that one would expect from a self-running universe.

Mr. Watson claims that life forms "appeared abruptly" rather than evolving, but any competent paleo-biologist knows better. We can observe evolution at work in micro-organisms, since they go through thousands of generations in a very short time. If indeed life were abruptly appearing, then we would be forced to conclude that some supernatural "designer" was pulling off a special Creation every year or two, to produce new flu viruses, presumably just for the edification of humankind.

Life is self-replicating chemistry, and some of us are capable, in spite of all its flaws, of finding it fascinating without attributing any simplistic storybook notion of "design" to it.

Sincerely yours,

Donald R. Burleson, Ph.D. Roswell

Sweet Leilani Thank You Dear Editor,

On behalf of the Sweet Leilani's Kipuka Hula I want to thank everyone that helped our Ho'ike 2013 be a giant success.

Without the wonderful and heartfelt per for mances of the New Mexico Military Institute Pacific Islander Club we could not have presented the community with such a quality program. The NMMI administration, club advisor and cadets themselves gave a real gift to Roswell by supporting this event so enthusiastically.

The city of Roswell Parks and Recreation Department, the Roswell Adult and Senior Center and Yucca staff, Sheila McKnight and her family, the musical group Devoted, Renee Roach and many others gave uncomplainingly of their time and help. We are grateful to them.

For those in the community that missed this program due to the terrible winds and weather, we say "don't miss it next year!" And for those that came and allowed themselves to be immersed in the Pacific Island culture, we were glad you had a delightful time.

Thank you for the standing ovation!

Mahalo nui loa,

Marla Higginbotham, Sweet Leilani's Kipuka Hula

LETTERS

Life came from God

Dear Editor: I really enjoyed the letter you printed in your Thursday, March 7, edition from Donald Burleson!

Evolutionists profess they have the greatest scientific theory ever put forward. In fact, their emperor has no clothes.

Clearly a scientist should test all the evidence in front of him before coming to a conclusion.

However, archaeological “evidence” comes up lacking in Clovis for example and other sites “around the world” as there really is insufficient evidence to prove that human life has been here for as long as scientists have “guesstimated.”

The so called tens of thousands of years of mankind are based on surprisingly thin evidence and are unconvincing.

In fact the fossil record strongly indicates that major kinds of plants and animals appeared abruptly and did not evolve into other kinds.

Those who have researched the Bible will know the earth could be billions of years old, not 6,000 years. Read my letter again for clarification please, Donald. Radioactive dating methods have been sharply criticized by scientists. A journal reports, “dates determined by radioactive decay may be off, not only be a few years, but by orders of magnitude.

Man, instead of having walked the earth for 3.6 million years, may have been around for only a few thousand.”

What stands out in his response though is his lack of an answer to the question I raised — Where do the designs come from? Evolutionists claim that the best mechanisms are automatically selected because the living things that have them survive better. That does not answer the question, “where do the mechanisms come from?”

Evolutionists would like to believe that people are skeptical of evolution because they’ve been religiously indoctrinated and haven’t been properly educated — this is a curious claim given that for the past 40 years or more public schools have exclusively taught evolution! Rather than a problem of education Donald, the problem is one of evidence. Evolution just does not have the goods. The idea that we evolved from apes is purely fantasy. As interesting as genetic similarities are, they are not evidence for evolution. Design explains it. It’s a different product with similar parts, materials and arrangements. There is hopelessly insufficient evidence to prove any connection to man.

There is a well known joke — a scientist approaches God and claims he can do anything God can. God asks, “such as what?” The scientist replies, “like creating human beings.” God says “show me.” The scientist says “well let me start with some dust, and then ...” God interrupts, “wait a second, get your own dust.” Fact — All scientific research indicated that life cannot spring from nonliving matter. At present it takes greater faith to believe that millions of intricately coordinated parts of a cell arose by chance than to believe that the cell is the product of an intelligent designer.

The Bible is indeed not a science textbook, but when it refers to science it is unerringly correct — divine wisdom within it was more than 2,000 years ahead of man. The people who wrote the Bible were infused with holy spirit, enabling them to write information disputed by scientists for 2,000 years before scientists realized these Bible writers were correct. Yes, scientists are finally catching up with the facts as recorded by Bible writers infused by God. They may not have been geneticists, geologists or chemists, but they had holy spirit guiding them, witness the apostle Paul’s words at 2 Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is inspired of God.” Donald thinks only occasional scientists query evolution and only then “for religious reasons” — very humorous,

LETTER POLICY

The Daily Record welcomes and attempts to publish all letters to the editor that meet guidelines.

To be published, letters must include the writer’s first and last name, address and telephone number. Addresses and telephone numbers will not be published unless the letter asks for a response.

Addresses and telephone numbers are used for verification or to contact the letter writer for more information. All letters except those sent by e-mail must be signed.

Letters which are libelous, written in poor

Donald! In his own words in February 2013 let me quote an esteemed designer of robots, “As a young man, I leaned toward atheism. I was taught that life originated by means of evolution, and I accepted that as fact. However, in 1990, my sister gave me a copy of the book ‘Life — How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation?’ The careful research that had gone into this work impressed me. It then dawned on me that I had accepted evolution without really questioning it. For example, I had assumed that evolution was well supported by the fossil record. But it is not. Indeed, the more I examined evolution, the more I became convinced that the theory is more bluster than fact.”

Donald may encourage me to read more books, take more courses, but he may be surprised to learn that I was privately educated in Europe and taught both evolution and creation. It’s pleasing to say that evolution teaches us nothing whereas creation teaches us that there is a purpose to life, that purpose being found clearly in the Bible.

Donald, it would be a pleasure to really explain God’s Word to you so you can then state you have examined the evidence from both design and evolution standpoints.

Sincerely, John Watson Roswell

The true value of horses

Dear Editor: Does an equine animal have more value than a bovine?

There seem to be two major ways of looking at it. In Europe, due to two wars, many of the people found it to be what they considered necessary to eat horses which led through the years to just considering them as a product to profit from for people who had no consideration of their intrinsic value: therefore, they became a meat product. The second way sees the equine in far more a spiritual light. Horses, donkeys and mules have intelligence, personality, caring kindness and/or wildness depending on their individual experiences just as people do. Yes, they have a value, but that value can depend on much more than the economic dollar per pound weight.

Mentioning wars, horses have been trained to go into war to fight in the battles and stay among the death and destruction to bring soldiers out of the battlefields. In American history, George Washington was known to have ridden three horses into battle and survived while they elevated him to a height to see how he needed to command movements. They were a major part of the Civil War for both the North and the South.

Mules were used in World War I and II to pack military supplies into battle zones. Some were even honored for their heroism of going on with their masters while wounded. In fact some were loved enough to create a series of comic movies about an army mule called Francis the Talking Mule. What oxen, bull, steer or cow can carry that credit? And, in an effort to get through to a guy named Baal, it seems God used the mouth of a donkey to speak His Words. Whatever it takes, to get through to a hard head.

Not withstanding a few stock show livestock who are loved and trained by youth; non-equine animals are to supply food for humans. Many of the kids who show cattle choose to show heifers so they can be breed stock and not end up a steak. Many show lambs or ewes and go on to breed more lambs instead of becoming chops.

When it comes to horses and kids one of the greatest good influences for boy or girl is to grow up loving and

taste, promote or attack individual businesses or concern active civil court cases will not be published. Letters must either be typed or written or printed legibly.

Because of limited space, letters should not exceed 600 words.

Because of the large volume of letters received, those unpublished may not be acknowledged or returned and a maximum of two letters a month will be printed by any individual writer.

The Daily Record reserves the right to reject any letter.

being responsible for a horse. They learn to love and be loved, how to have a good work ethic and be responsible for another living being that matters. Rarely if ever, will a child who has grown up on a horse ever turn to gangs, violence or unethical behavior. Many times depression and abuse can be healed by spending time with a horse. Time with a horse can be the best psychologist in the world; you can hug them and they hug back, you can cry on their neck and tell them all your secrets and they don’t tell anyone or take notes. The heart is healed and you come away feeling stronger emotionally. Can a cow do that?

Just this weekend Roswell had an example of how kids and horses relate at the Pecos Valley Horseman’s Arena.

Especially the horses that took care of the kids who showed them, some whose stirrups only came half way down the horses’ sides. What is their true value, no one can truly tell of the long term and residual effects.

In Leviticus 19 there are laws about animals for food and most mentioned have split hoofs: bovine have split hooves, horses don’t. The Bible is full of references to the horse, donkeys and mules. Actually, God was truly the first equestrian and Jesus was a horse whisperer. He sent for an unbroken donkey colt and rode him (in Matthew 21:2-7) as He came into Jerusalem.

What animal other than a horse can be trained to work and drive and care for other animals other than a horse?

The food such as beef can only be put on the table because of the farmers and ranchers who still work their cattle in more gentle ways for better quality meat with horses.

Professions such as rodeo, ranching and horse racing make millions of dollars for their owners and the residual businesses around them. Look at the millions that are spent in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo over 10 days in December: From the contestants to the advertising for major companies, housing and food, as well as the casinos. There wouldn’t be much of an NFR without the horses. Consider the Kentucky Derby! We in Roswell, have a horse to be very proud of in Mine That Bird, and even though we don’t own him, we can love him and be proud of him. His value is far more than the dollars he earned in his racing days; and the fact that he is a gelding. There are accompanying incomes that surround him such as the production of a movie about him.

If it is OK to slaughter horses the same as cattle, then I have a few questions: Has a bull or oxen ever carried a Holy person? Has a bull or steer every pulled a chariot? Has a bull or steer ever carried a soldier into battle? Has a gentle cow ever carried a sleeping child in it’s mothers arms? Has a bull ever crossed a desert packing supplies? Has a bovine every carried a country doctor in the night to save someone’s life or deliver a baby? Has a bull ever herded another of its own kind?

Consider the mustangs! Can anyone rope a calf off the back of a bull? Did a bovine help settle the West by leading settlers to their destinations? Yes, some oxen pulled wagons but they couldn’t range outward and guide directions. What animal has been known to take a beating and still be loyal enough to return to it’s master? And, what animal has carried kings and queens of nations throughout history?

Remember royalty only choose royalty qualities to ride or pull their carriages, even today. They found it only in horses. In fact the King of Kings is scheduled to return in the clouds riding a white horse. There must be horses in Heaven or he wouldn’t be riding one. Food for thought from a horse lover.

Tax haven data leak names names, raises questions PARIS (AP) — It’s a data leak involving tens of thousands of of fshore bank accounts, naming dozens of prominent figures around the world. And new details are being released by the day — raising the prospect that accounts based on promises of secrecy and tax shelter could someday offer neither.

Among those named include a top campaign official in France, the ex-wife of pardoned oil trader Marc Rich, Azerbaijan’s ruling family, the daughter of Imelda Marcos and the late Baron Elie de Rothschild. The widespread use of offshore accounts among the wealthy is widely known — even Mitt Romney acknowledged stashing some of his millions in investments in the Cayman Islands. But this week’s leak, orchestrated by a Washington, D.C.-based group called the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, appeared to be the broadest in what has been a steady stream of information emerging about hidden money in recent years amid a wave of anger targeting the super-rich in an age of austerity.

The leak allegedly involved records from 10 tax havens, where the world’s wealthy have long stashed funds. It uncovered a shadow network of empty holding companies and names essentially rented out to fill out boards of non-existent corporations, including a British couple listed as active in more than 2,000 entities, according to The Guardian newspaper, which participated in the global undertaking.

The project started with the receipt of a hard drive by an Australian journalist, Gerard Ryle, who took the data with him when he joined the consortium, according to the project’s website. The group, a

project of the Washington-based Center for Public Integrity, has said the hard drive arrived in the mail, but did not specify its possible source or how it was authenticated. The consortium did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

Rudolf Elmer, who once ran the Caribbean operations of the Swiss bank Julius Baer and turned whistleblower after he was dismissed in 2002, told The Associated Press that he considers the data to be authentic.

“This comprehensive information is like a torch that will probably set off a wildfire and bring to light a lot more about secretive tax havens,” he said.

The secret bank accounts of the rich and powerful have recently come under a crush of whistle-blowing scrutiny.

France’s for mer budget minister, Jerome Cahuzac, was forced to resign last month after a French investigative website unrelated to the latest leak revealed that he held offshore accounts — a particularly damaging scandal because he was spearheading a campaign against tax evasion. In 2010, a Greek journalist published a list of about 2,000 people holding undeclared Swiss bank accounts, disclosures that triggered a firestor m of outrage as Greeks were forced to swallow brutal austerity measures.

In November, an HSBC insider leaked a list of more than 8,000 customers with accounts based in Britain’s tiny Jersey Island, drawing an immediate tax investigation from Britain’s revenue and customs service. Two years before that, a former HSBC employee stole account details for 24,000 clients. Germany, eager to learn about its own tax cheats, promptly

offered to buy the information.

“This just shows what we all know, which is that for decades we have seen the emergence of globalization on the one hand and governments that were unable to coordinate and cooperate on the other hand,” Pascal Saint-Amans, head of tax policy for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, said Friday.

There is nothing inherently illegal about opening bank AP Photo accounts overseas, but it’s well known that the wealthy France’s Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici, left, and then use them to avoid higher Budget Minister Jerome Cahuzac attend a press confertaxes at home — a practice ence Sept. 28, 2012 in Paris. that Saint-Amans said was ness among players who are inside the quickly falling afoul of governments dessystem to say, ‘Hang on, maybe this isn’t perate for revenue, especially those sufsuch a good thing.”’ Shaxon said. fering in the European financial crisis.

Family of Matisse seeks return Mexican comedy film about of painting seized by Nazis income gap becomes a big hit

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The family of a prominent Parisian art dealer is demanding that a Norwegian museum return an Henri Matisse painting seized by Nazis under the direction of Hermann Goering, in the latest dispute over art stolen from Jews during World War II. The painting at the center of the dispute, Matisse’s 1937 “Blue Dress in a Yellow Armchair,” depicts a woman sitting in a living room. It has been among the highlights of the Henie Onstad Art Center near Oslo since the museum was established in 1968 through a donation by wealthy art collector Niels Onstad and his wife, Olympic figureskating champion Sonja Henie.

Museum Director Tone Hansen said it had been unaware the painting was stolen by the Nazis until it was notified of the fact in 2012 by the London-based Art Loss Register, which tracks lost and stolen paintings.

She said Onstad bought the painting in “good faith” from the Galerie Henri Benezit in Paris in 1950.

The Benezit gallery “has no record of collaborating with the Nazis, as many galleries did,” she said in an interview.

Although the war ended almost 70 years ago, disputes over looted art have become increasingly common in recent years, in part because many records were lost, and in part because an international accord on returning such art was only struck in 1998.

But the case of the Matisse is somewhat different in that its former owner, Paul Rosenberg, was one of the most prominent art

dealers in Paris before the war, which he survived by fleeing to New York. Art Loss Register Director Chris Marinello said the records in this case are unusually clear.

According to a biography published by New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Rosenberg was one of the preeminent modern art dealers of his day, and personal friends with Picasso and Matisse, among others.

Art Registry documents show he purchased “Blue Dress” directly from the painter, having noted the purchase in 1937 and put it on display in the same year, Marinello said. After the war, Rosenberg re-established his business and sought to recover more than 400 works that had been taken by the Nazis.

Marinello showed The Associated Press documents that name the piece now on display in Norway as among those missing after the war.

He slammed the Henie Onstad art museum for “stonewalling.” He said, “The evidence is overwhelming. They just don’t want to resolve this.”

Paul Rosenberg died in 1959. His family has remained prominent, as his son Alexandre was a war hero and later began his own art dealership.

Among surviving family descendants are Anne Sinclair, the French journalist and ex-wife of former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss Kahn.

Another granddaughter, American lawyer Marianne Rosenberg, said Friday she didn’t wish to “antagonize” the museum, but hoped that it would come to realize that it is wrong in every sense of the term.

The paintings seized from Paul Rosenberg and other Jewish victims of Nazi aggression were taken “under difficult conditions, in a cruel and unfair situation,” she said in a telephone interview from her office in New York. “We honor my grandfather Paul’s memory ... by doing what he would have done: we wish to recover that which we consider ours.”

The lawyer representing the museum, Kyre Eggen, said it was significant that Onstad didn’t know where the painting came from.

Under Norwegian law, if a person has had an item in good faith for more than 10 years, that person becomes the rightful owner, he said.

That argument runs against the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, which Norway is a party to. The principles say that owners of looted art should take into account the difficulty that Jewish war survivors faced in reclaiming lost property after the Holocaust, and that owners of looted art should in all cases seek a fast and fair solution.

The Seattle Art Museum returned a Matisse to the Rosenberg family in 1999, after initially making similar arguments.

Eggen also argued that it is possible Rosenberg sold the painting himself between 1946 and 1950.

But Marianne Rosenberg rejected that possibility. Art Loss Register documents show Paul Rosenberg notifying French authorities the piece was missing in 1946, and his family again listing it as among missing pieces it was seeking in 1958.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A construction magnate’s preppy son is forced to drive one of Mexico City’s battered green buses, while his spoiled sister waits tables at a cantina in a miniskirt and non-designer shoes. Their credit cards have been canceled, their BMWs and mansion seized.

The Mexican riches-to-rags movie, “We are the Nobles” has opened to packed theaters in a country with one of the world’s widest income gaps — and a love for laughing at misfortune. More than 1 million people showed up in the first week to see the story of an impresario who fakes a government raid on his riches to teach his children the value of work.

Only a Hollywood blockbuster featuring Bruce Willis and DreamWorks’ latest 3D animation beat it at the box office last weekend, the second-biggest opening for a domestic film here in more than 10 years.

“Latin America is a region where middle class is very small,” said writer and director Gary “Gaz”Alazraki. “So I thought if you want to capture the mood of the public with cinema, that’s the first place to look, the contrast between rich and poor.”

In the movie, patriarch German Noble’s eldest son spends his days at daddy’s company dreaming up big ideas, such as mixing the world’s largest rum and Coke in Mexico City’s storied Aztec Stadium. His daughter is engaged to a failed business-

man and aspires to open a restaurant on her father’s dime. The youngest is a hipster who preaches against capitalism, even as dad pays his private college tuition — until he is expelled for sleeping with a professor.

After surviving a heart attack and getting a second chance at life, Noble decides to stage a raid on his Beverly Hills-like home.

People like the fictitious Nobles appear on any ritzy corner of the city. where Mexico’s carefully coiffed, wearing the highest fashions, can be seen stepping from the running boards of their enormous SUVs, their bodyguards lurking outside as they go for a workout or pedicure. They have been to the best schools in the world and the finest malls in Texas, but never to one of the city’s ubiquitous, crowded marketplaces or a street-food stand.

“I haven’t seen the archetypes of urban Mexico portrayed on the big screen so well in a long time,” said Oscar de los Reyes, an expert on cinema and society at the Technological Institute of Monterrey.

It’s not surprising that the social contrast is playing big in the cinema. In Mexico, 10 percent of the people held nearly 40 percent of the wealth in 2010, according to the Economic Commission for Latin America. The world’s richest man, Carlos Slim, holds more than 6 percent himself.

Risk for Obama in pursuing morning-after pill case Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the mor ning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks.

A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription.

The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it set the age limits in 2011.

“The motivation for the secretary’s action was obviously political,” U.S. District Judge Edward Korman wrote in reference to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who made the 2011 decision.

The FDA had been poised to allow over -the-counter sales with no age limits when Sebelius took the unprecedented step of overruling the agency.

If the Obama administration appeals Korman’s ruling, it could re-ignite the simmering battle over women’s reproductive health, which is never far from the surface in American politics. An appeal also

could sidetrack the president just as he’s trying to keep Congress and the public focused on gun control, immigration and resolving the nation’s budget woes.

“There’s no political advantage whatsoever,” said Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf. “It’s a side issue he doesn’t need to deal with right now. The best idea is to leave it alone.”

Still, Obama has made clear in the past that he feels strongly about the limits. As a politician whose name won’t ever appear on a ballot again, it’s hard to see the downside in sticking by his principles.

“As the father of two daughters, I think it is important for us to make sure that we apply some common sense to various rules when it comes to over-the-counter medicine,” Obama said in 2011 when he endorsed Sebelius’ decision.

The Justice Department said it is evaluating whether to appeal. Allison Price, a department spokeswoman, said there would be a prompt decision.

The White House said Obama’s view on the issue hasn’t changed since 2011.

“He supports that decision today. He believes it was the right commonsense approach to this issue,” White House

Spending mushrooms in new ‘political ecosystem’

BOSTON (AP) — Operating with few rules and limited oversight, outside groups spent a record $1 billion to influence last year’s election.

Politicians of all persuasions griped about the meddling.

But few are working to change laws that ushered in an unprecedented flood of money made possible by a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that erased years of campaign finance law.

Instead, political leaders and donors from both parties are preparing for the flow of outside money to intensify.

New groups have formed and others are shaping plans to come back bigger and smarter ahead of the 2014 congressional elections and the 2016 presidential race.

What laws do remain could become even looser as the Supreme Court considers another high-profile decision.

“The unregulated system that we seem to be headed in will make Watergate look like a bad soap opera,” said Robert Zimmerman, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s national finance team who helped raise as much as $500,000 for President Barack Obama’s re-election effort.

“Everybody is focusing on raising more,” Zimmerman said.

Even as some fundraisers report fatigue following a vicious and expensive presidential campaign last year, both sides are aggressively courting donors to help further transform the political landscape.

Campaigns and political parties bound by traditional fundraising limits are moving to outsource research, advertising, data collection and issue advocacy to groups that can accept unlimited donations while often offering donors anonymity.

The president, too, is intensifying his fundraising focus to help his party and a new nonprofit organization led by his former campaign manager.

Having promised to headline at least 20 fundraisers in his final presidential term for Democrat’s campaign committees, Obama last week raised millions of dollars in four events. One was a $32,400-per person brunch in Atherton, Calif.

“I’m going to need some help,” Obama told donors.

Donors who gave millions last fall, largely on the Republican side, are already lining up to do more.

“I’m going to do everything I possibly can to help our country and those people who believe in our country,” said Republican donor Foster Friess, who gave more than $2 million to a new kind of political action committee, known as a super PAC, that fueled the 2012 presidential campaign of former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited funds to help candidates, but cannot coordinate expenditures or strategy with a campaign.

Like other donors, Friess says he’s eager to use his “affluence” to shape policy fights in addition to helping candidates.

The emergence of super PACs and other outside groups, emboldened partly by the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court in 2010, has done more than anything else to reshape the contours of campaign fundraising.

A few federal court cases have broadly eased campaign finance rules, allowing donors to give unlimited sums. That kind of money largely has gone to super PACs. Many super PACs have affiliated nonprofit “social welfare” organizations that spent hundreds of millions last year on issue ads. Those groups don’t have to disclose their donors because they’re governed by tax law. Open-government groups have pushed Congress, to no avail, for a law that would require politically active groups to disclose their finances.

The system faces further deregulation as the Supreme Court prepares to hear a case this year that could wipe away aggregate annual limits on direct contributions to candidates and official campaign committees.

spokesman Jay Car ney said.

Appealing the decision could rile liberal groups and parts of Obama’s political base that are already upset with his forthcoming budget, which includes cuts to programs like Medicare and Social Security.

But currying favor with conservatives who want the ruling to stand probably won’t do much to help Obama make progress on his second-term priorities.

“It won’t help him with Republicans in Congress to get policy matters attended to,” Sheinkopf said.

Also weighing on Obama and his aides as he decides how to proceed is the unpleasant memory of previous dust-ups over contraception.

Among them is an election-year spat over an element of Obama’s health care overhaul law that

Sunday, April 7, 2013

required most employers to cover birth control free of charge to female workers as a preventive service.

That controversy led to lawsuits that threatened to embroil Obama’s health care law, already under fire for a requirement that individuals buy insurance, in even more legal action.

When Obama offered to soften the rule last year, religious groups said it wasn’t enough. Obama proposed another compromise on the rule in February to mixed response from faithbased groups.

If the court order issued Friday stands, Plan B OneStep and its generic versions could move from behind pharmacy counters out to drugstore shelves.

That would end a decadeplus struggle by women’s groups for easier access to these pills, which can prevent pregnancy if taken soon enough after unpro-

tected sex.

Women’s health specialists hailed the ruling. They said there’s no reason that a safe birth control option shouldn’t be available over the counter and they dismissed concer ns that it could encourage underage people to have sex.

But social conservatives, in a rare show of support for Obama’s approach to social policy, said the ruling removes common-sense protections and denies parents and medical professionals the opportunity to be a safeguard for vulnerable young girls.

“The court’s action undermines parents’ ability to protect their daughters from such exploitation and from the adverse effects of the drug itself,” Deirdre McQuade, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Half the nation’s pregnancies every year are

unintended.

Doctors’ groups say more access to morning-after pills, by putting them near the condoms and spermicides so people can lear n about them and buy them quickly, could cut those numbers.

The mor ning-after pill contains a higher dose of the female progestin hormone than is in regular birth control pills. Taking it within 72 hours of rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89 percent.

It works best within the first 24 hours. If a woman already is pregnant, the pill has no effect.

Absent an appeal or a gover nment request for more time to prepare one, the ruling will take effect in 30 days, meaning that over -the-counter sales could start then.

There’s more than one reason to switch to AT&T. Actually, there are hundreds.

ARTESIA — There’s no better feeling than having one of your best games against your archrival.

in that feeling on Saturday at the Artesia Invitational.

Hubbard put on a show against Roswell in the third-place game, helping Goddard roll past its southside rival 9-1.

can,” said Rocket coach Jay Edgett, whose team moved to 3-6 with the win.

“She did an outstanding job from the circle. ... We’ve been trying to get her to be a little patient when she’s coming up to bat. She finally did and it paid off.”

Hubbard was dominant both in the circle and at the plate.

She earned the win, allowing one run on four hits and striking out eight in a complete-game effort.

And at the plate, she was 4 for 4 with two home runs, a double, a single, two runs scored and eight RBIs. “She’d been struggling earlier in the season, but she just stepped

up and did an outstanding job for us,” Edgett said. “Anytime you can bring your ‘A’ game to a district opponent, we’re happy.”

Afterward, Roswell coach Art Sandoval just tipped his cap to Hubbard and the Rockets.

Louisville beats Wichita State 72-68 in Final Four Roswell’s Natasha Chavez fouls off a pitch during the Coyotes’ 9-1 loss to Goddard on Saturday.

ATLANTA (AP) — The deficit was getting bigger, the clock becoming an enemy and Louisville’s options were dwindling.

“I just kept telling the guys ... ‘We’re going to make a run. It’s about defense,”’ coach Rick Pitino said. “The tempo is not ours. Give them their credit, but the bench won the game for us tonight. Unbelievable display.”

Impressive comeback, too.

Luke Hancock came off the bench to score 20 points, walk-on Tim Henderson sparked a second-half rally with a pair of monster 3s and Louisville advanced to the NCAA title game Saturday night, escaping with a 72-68 victory over Wichita State.

Now the Cardinals (34-5) will try and win it all for their emotional leader on the bench, injured Kevin Ware. As the final buzzer sounded, Ware stood up, grinning as he thrust his arms above his head.

Louisville will play the winner of SyracuseMichigan for the national title Monday night.

since they won it all in 1986.

“We just played super hard,” said Russ Smith, who led the Cardinals with 21 points.

“Nobody wanted to go home.”

Cleanthony Early had 24 for the ninthseeded Shockers (30-9), who nearly pulled off their biggest upset of all.

Wichita State had knocked off No. 1 seed Gonzaga and Ohio State on its way to its first Final Four since 1965, and the Shockers had a 12-point lead on Louisville with 13:35 to play.

Horschel holds on at -10 for Texas Open lead

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Billy Horschel was confident about his chances of staying on top at the Texas Open after taking the second-round lead.

The relatively unknown up-andcomer lived up to his words on Saturday, holding off an experienced leaderboard to shoot a 2-under 70 and take a two-shot lead entering the final round.

Horschel finished second at last week’s Houston Open, and he extended his PGA Tour-best streak of consecutive cuts made to 21 this week.

Still, the Florida native faces the daunting task of fending off a trailing pack that includes former major winners Jim Furyk, Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington if he’s to earn his first PGA Tour win on Sunday.

Just don’t try and tell him that.

“I’ve never been star struck out here,” Horschel said. “... I respect all the veterans out here. I respect everyone that’s put their time (in) out here.

“But at the same time, I’m as confident as I’ve ever been, and I feel just as good as anyone else in the world right now.”

Horschel enters the final day with a two-shot lead over Furyk and Charley Hoffman. He’s four shots ahead of a trio that includes former world No. 1 Rory McIlroy, who would like nothing better than to close out with a win Sunday on his way to next week’s Masters.

McIlroy shot a 1-under 71 to reach 6 under overall. He tied for the low round on Friday with a 67, but he was inconsistent off the tee on Saturday and had four birdies and three bogeys.

The world No. 2 hit just 7 of 14 fairways for the second time in the tournament, continuing his trend of up-anddown play this year after an offseason equipment change.

He only signed up for the tournament late last week, in search of as many competitive rounds as possible before next week — which will mark the first major since his PGA Championship win last August.

Saturday’s gusty Texas wind provided McIlroy with a far different challenge than he’ll likely face next week at Augusta National.

“It was a tough scoring day,” McIlroy said. “It was hard to really go low under par. “... I probably should have been a couple better, but at the end of the day, it’s still a solid round, and I still have a chance coming into tomorrow.”

Ryan Palmer had the low round on Saturday, posting a 4-under 68.

Furyk, playing the course for the first time this week — and after rain limited his practice round to four holes on Wednesday — birdied No. 18 to cap a 3-under effort for the day and to reach Sunday’s final pairing.

The former U.S. Open champion was consistent from tee to green, hitting 15 greens in regulation — a remarkable feat as the San Antonio wind switched to the south for the first time during the tournament. However, he took 31 putts after needing only 26 on Friday.

“It was funny to wake up and have the wind the dead opposite,” Furyk said. “What I was hitting hybrid into Thursday and Friday, I’m hitting 9-iron

today.

“I’m glad I got a couple rounds under my belt before that wind switched.”

Furyk, McIlroy and Harrington, all former major winners, are each within five shots of the lead.

McIlroy opened with two birdies over his first three holes on Saturday, climbing to 7 under and within a shot of Horschel, who had yet to tee off.

However, he fell back to 4 under with bogeys on Nos. 4, 10 and 11 before closing with birdies on Nos. 12 and 14 to stay in contention entering the final round.

Horschel, meanwhile, had a similar up-and-down day as the weather warmed up and the strong wind picked up. He made five birdies, reaching as low as 11 under after a confident 6-foot birdie putt on No. 14 — one of only 23 putts he needed in the round.

Hoffman, playing in the final pairing with Horschel, briefly took the lead after a birdie on No. 8.

The two-time winner on tour went to 9 under after reaching the par 5 in two, and Horschel followed with a bogey for a two-shot swing that sent Friday’s leader to 8 under.

It didn’t take Horschel — in search of his first PGA Tour win — long to regain the lead for good, with another twoshot swing on the next hole.

“I didn’t even know I fell out of the lead until someone just told me,” Horschel said. “... I couldn’t care less whether I was leading after eight holes or whether I’m leading right now.

“I knew that I was playing well.”

Inbee Park takes 3-shot lead in Kraft Nabisco

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — Inbee Park’s 7-iron tee shot Saturday on the 168-yard 17th hole turned to left on a perfect line at the back-left pin, landed softly and rolled to 2 1/2 feet for yet another birdie in the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

The 24-year-old South Korean player, three strokes ahead with a round left in the first major championship of the year, admitted it wasn’t quite the way she planned it after watching playing partner Lizette Salas’ ball sail too far left and into a bunker.

“It was actually a little bit of a mis-shot,” Park said. “I aimed a little more right, but I slightly pulled it and it ended up perfect.”

Bogey-free in her last 22 holes at Mission Hills, Park shot her second straight 5-under 67 in tricky wind conditions to reach 12 under.

“I feel really good about my swing and the stroke at the moment,” Park said. “I feel really comfortable around this golf course, too. That helps. Three good rounds, and I just need another one tomorrow. ... I was really used

to the wind after yesterday, because we had a really similar wind. It was a lot easier to judge today.”

She’s in position for her second major title and second victory of the year. She won the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open and added her fourth LPGA Tour title in February in Thailand when Ariya Jutanugarn closed with a triple bogey to blow a two-stroke lead.

“This one would mean a lot,” Park said. “It’s just been a tournament I always wanted to win and, with the special ceremony jumping in the water, everybody just wants to do that.”

Salas, a stroke behind Park entering the round, had a 69 to remain second.

“I’ve just got to stay patient and just trust my putter and just keep it simple,” Salas said “I’m just going to stick to my game plan. I can’t control what she does. I can only control my swing thoughts and my routine.”

Hall of Famer Karrie Webb, the tournament winner in 2000 and 2006, was five strokes back at 6

under along with Suzann Pettersen, Angela Stanford, Jessica Korda, Karine Icher and Pornanong Phatlum. Stanford had a 66, the best round of the tournament.

Webb and Pettersen shot 67, Korda and Icher 68, and Phatlum 70.

Park matched Salas with a birdie on the par-4 opening hole and got to 9 under with a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-3 ninth.

Park stretched her advantage to two strokes with another 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 10th, then nearly holed her 9-iron approach on the par-4 12th, leaving only 2 1/2 feet for another birdie that pushed the lead to three.

Salas pulled within two with a birdie on the par-4 13th, and Park countered with the birdie on 17.

Park saved par on 17 after hitting into the bunker, then missed a chance to get closer on the par-5 18th when her 6-foot birdie attempt slid by to the right.

“I wasn’t hitting the ball as well as the first two days, but I kept putting myself in good position, hit some good shots out of the rough, and hit a great bunker shot on 17

to get up and down for par,” Salas said. “Obviously, you want to end with a birdie, and it didn’t quite drop. Overall, pretty good day considering I didn’t hit the ball well.”

The 23-year-old Salas grew west of Los Angeles in Azusa, where her father is the head mechanic at a golf course, and was a four-time All-America selection at the University of Southern California.

“I feed off the crowd and, to have my fans out here, my family here, it just helps me stay calm,” Salas said. “I’m playing in my backyard, so I can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Stanford rebounded with the 66 after opening with rounds of 70 and 74.

“I’ve kind of been fighting it all week and I kind of found a thought that worked the rest of the day,” Stanford said. “I made the turn and started hitting some good shots.”

Pettersen, playing on her 32nd birthday, birdied the final four holes. She had a share of the firstround lead after a 68, then dropped back with a 75 on Friday.

“I probably should have had six straight birdies coming in,” said Pettersen, a three-time runner-up in the event. “I’ve given myself a chance for tomorrow.”

The 38-year-old Webb won the last of her 38 tour titles in 2011.

“I’m just glad I gave myself a chance,” Webb said. “If we can get some breeze going tomorrow, I think that’ll make it interesting.”

Korda, the 20-year-old daughter of former tennis star Petr Korda, is spending time with her family for the first time since January.

“It’s really nice,” said Korda, the Women’s Australian Open winner last year. “My brother and sister got so big. It was really nice to see everybody. I miss my dad’s humor and my mom’s calmness, and she did my laundry last night, so it was kind of nice.”

Michelle Wie had a 73 to drop to 1 under. She has broken 70 only once in 17 rounds this season and is using an unorthodox putting stance with her torso bent parallel to the ground, Top-ranked Stacy Lewis was 1 under after a 71.

Dodgers trade Harang to Rockies for Hernandez

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Dodgers traded pitcher Aaron Harang to the Colorado Rockies for former All-Star catcher Ramon Hernandez and cash on Saturday.

Los Angeles has an abundance of starting pitchers, and Harang was left out of the rotation this season despite a steady track record. General manager Ned Colletti said the deal gives the Dodgers another backup at catcher behind starter A.J. Ellis.

The Rockies immediately designated Harang for assignment. They have 10 days to trade, release or send him outright to the minors.

Vice president of baseball operations Bill Geivett said Colorado will attempt to move Harang and get back something in return.

“With Aaron, we’ve always respected him and what he could do in the past. But we really have committed to five starters and we know he wants to start,” Geivett explained. “We also have a group of younger pitchers in (Triple-A) Colorado Springs right now and we’d like to make sure that there is opportunity at some point in the season for them to come up and pitch on the big club.

“We know (the Dodgers) were talking to a number of clubs and I spoke with Aaron’s agent. We’ll begin those discussions now,” he added.

Hernandez has a career average of .264 with 166 home runs, 751 RBIs and 1,335 hits during his 14-year career with Oakland, San Diego, Baltimore, Cincinnati and the Rockies. Colorado, which owed him $3.2 million, designated him for assignment on March 29.

The 36-year-old catcher was an All-Star in 2003 and averaged 118 games behind the plate from 2000-11. Among active players, only A.J. Pierzynski has caught more games and more innings than Hernandez, who has caught nearly 12,000 innings during his career.

Harang hadn’t appeared in a game for the Dodgers this season. He was 10-10 with a 3.61 ERA in 31 starts last year. The righthander is 105-104 with a 4.19 ERA in 11 seasons with Oakland, Cincinnati, San Diego and the Dodgers.

“He’s been a very good pitcher at the big league level and a good starting pitcher.

He’s been a pro,” Geivett said. “Those are things that everybody around the league that’s seen him pitch or been around him knows.”

American League roundup: Angels crush Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Albert Pujols homered twice to offset another tough day for Josh Hamilton in his second game back in Texas, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Rangers 8-4 Saturday.

Pujols hit a two-run shot to the lawn in center field off Matt Harrison in the first inning and watched Hamilton strike out twice and fly out behind him after taking three intentional walks.

The only other time the Rangers let him swing, Pujols homered off reliever Jason Frasor in the sixth.

Mark Trumbo also had a two-run homer in the first against Harrison (0-2), who gave up eight hits and five runs in five innings after losing to Houston on opening night.

Mitch Moreland and Ian Kinsler hit third-inning home runs against Tommy Hanson (1-0), who gave up three runs over six innings in his Angels debut after arriving in an offseason trade with Atlanta.

The boos for were loud again for Hamilton, who said before the game that his wife had to call over security during Friday’s home opener for Texas because fans were shouting insults and obscenities at their family.

There were no major incidents, and Hamilton said his family planned to return for the remaining two games.

Hamilton, a five-time AllStar with the Rangers who went 0 for 4 in his return Friday, walked in the first inning ahead of Trumbo’s opposite-field home run to right.

First base was open the next two times Pujols came up, so Rangers manager Ron Washington chose to pitch to his former slugger.

Hamilton struck out both times on breaking pitches in the dirt. He flied out to left

in the sixth and again in the eighth after another intentional walk to Pujols.

Hamilton, who signed a $125 million, five-year deal to join Pujols in the middle of the Angels lineup, is 1 for 20 with 10 strikeouts.

Pujols’ first homer came exactly a month earlier than his first long ball in his debut season with the Angels last year — May 6 in a win against Toronto.

Peter Bourjos greeted Frasor with a home run to start the sixth, and two outs later Pujols fouled off a pair of two-strike pitches before sending a fastball into the seats in left field.

Pujols had his fourth multihomer game in his last 15 at Rangers Ballpark, including a three-homer outburst in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series with St. Louis.

Moreland broke an 0-for13 spell to start the season and was the first batter to reach against Hanson when he hit a 435-foot home run halfway up the upper deck in right field in the third inning. Kinsler followed two batters later with a homer to left.

Nelson Cruz homered inside the left-field foul pole in the ninth off Angels closer Ernesto Frieri, who was pitching because he hadn’t appeared since getting the save on opening day Monday in Cincinnati.

Hanson pitched around leadoff hits in the fourth and fifth before Elvis Andrus started the sixth with a single and scored on a triple by David Murphy. Hanson gave up six hits and struck out four without a walk.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ian Desmond slapped his hands together as hard as he could when he approached home plate, about to score the go-ahead run in the 11th inning.

His rough day was ending with a very good moment.

Desmond made two errors that helped the Cincinnati Reds take the game to extra innings, then led off the 11th with his first home run of the season, rallying the Washington Nationals to a 7-6 victory Saturday.

“A lot of mixed feelings right now,” Desmond said.

Great American Ball Park can do that to anybody.

Bryce Harper also homered for the Nationals, who were coming off a 15-0 loss in the series opener — their most lopsided defeat since baseball returned to Washington in 2005. The Reds hit six homers in that one, pounding a pitching staff that gave up only one run in its first three games.

Washington got the better of it this time, hitting five homers to Cincinnati’s one. The teams have combined for 12 homers, accounting for 20 of the 28 runs in the series.

Mistake pitches have

Chicago 4, Seattle 3 CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Rios hit a tiebreaking, tworun homer off Felix Hernandez in the sixth inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Saturday.

Roswell Daily Record

With one out and Alejandro De Aza aboard after a leadoff single, Rios drove an 0-2 pitch through a tricky wind and way over the wall in left for his second homer in two days. He also connected for a solo shot Friday night, but the White Sox lost 8-7 in 10 innings.

Hernandez (1-1) allowed four runs and six hits over 6 1-3 innings in his first try for win No. 100. The righthander, who turns 27 on Monday, struck out three to give him 1,498 for his career.

Toronto 5, Boston 0 TORONTO (AP) — John Lackey left with an injured biceps in his first start since September 2011, grabbing his right arm in pain and coming out in the fifth inning Saturday as the Boston Red Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0.

Lackey (0-1) missed last season following elbow ligament-replacement surgery in November 2011. He allowed a two-run homer to J.P. Arencibia in the fourth, and then clutched his arm and jumped around the mound in pain after throwing low and inside to Jose Reyes on a 2-2 pitch with one out in the fifth Teammates and manager John Farrell came to the mound before Lackey walked off and was replaced

by Alfredo Aceves, who threw ball four.

Detroit 8, New York 4 DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera drove in one of four runs in the fifth inning on a 4-for-4 day and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 8-4 Saturday.

Max Scherzer (1-0) gave up four runs in five-plus innings to pick up the win in a shaky start, his first of the season.

Phil Hughes (0-1) allowed four runs — three earned —

on eight hits in four -plus innings on a day he was originally scheduled to make a rehabilitation start in the minors. Darin Downs and Joaquin Benoit combined to pitch three scoreless innings to end the game for the Tigers.

Detroit led 5-1 after five innings. New York pulled within a run in the sixth, then let Detroit go ahead 7-4 in the home half.

The Tigers will play for a series sweep Sunday in a matchup of aces, Detroit’s Justin Verlander and New York’s CC Sabathia.

Oakland 6, Houston 3 HOUSTON (AP) — Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie and Seth Smith homered to back up a solid performance by starter Bartolo Colon in his return from a drug suspension, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros 6-3

on Saturday night.

It was the first appearance for Colon (1-0) since he received a 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test Aug. 22. He allowed eight hits and three runs without a walk in six innings for the win.

Crisp homered for the second straight game with a solo shot in the fourth that put Oakland up 1-0.

Lowrie, who spent last season with the Astros, added a solo homer in Oakland’s four-run sixth inning.

Derek Norris gave the A’s the lead with a run-scoring single later in the sixth.

Minnesota 6, Baltimore 5 BALTIMORE (AP) — Justin Morneau singled in the tiebreaking run with two outs in the ninth inning after an error by Chris Davis, and the Minnesota Twins got a home run from

Chris Parmalee in a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.

Although Davis picked up his 17th RBI, he failed to become the first player in major league history to homer in the first five games of the season. The first baseman also opened the door for the Twins to snatch their first win in Baltimore since April 21, 2011.

With the score tied at 5, Baltimore turned to closer Jim Johnson (0-1) in the ninth. Davis let a one-out grounder by Aaron Hicks roll through his legs, and after a two-out walk to Josh Willingham, Morneau singled up the middle.

It was Johnson’s first loss since last July 27.

Josh Roenicke (1-0) pitched three innings of onehit relief and Glen Perkins got three straight outs for his first save.

National League roundup: Nationals edge Cincinnati

Washington’s Ian Desmond rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run off Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher J.J. Hoover in the 11th inning of their game, Saturday.

landed in the seats. So have some good ones.

“Strange things happen here,” Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. “I’m hoarse from yelling.”

Desmond’s two errors led to a pair of runs that helped the Reds rally from a 5-1 deficit against one of the NL’s best bullpens, which has been hit hard in the first two games of the series.

Nationals closer Rafael Soriano blew a save for the first time in three chances.

He gave up a leadoff homer to Shin-Soo Choo in the ninth before Joey Votto tripled — his first extrabase hit of the season — and scored on a wild pitch.

“It’s been two crazy games,” said Washington outfielder Jayson Werth, who hit a solo shot. “Last night, they didn’t miss all night. Today I felt we were in command, then we weren’t, then we were.”

Not until the final pitch.

Desmond’s leadoff homer in the 11th off J.J. Hoover (0-2) made it 6-5. Wilson Ramos added a solo homer, his second of the game.

Craig Stammen (1-0) pitched the last two innings. He gave up a twoout RBI double to Brandon Phillips in the 11th before fanning Jay Bruce to end it.

“We had a chance to win that game several times,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “We’ve got to come up with the big hit. I guess turnabout’s fair play.”

Extra-inning games have been the norm between the NL’s top two teams from last season — Washington won a league-best 98 games, Cincinnati 97.

They’ve gone to extra innings in five of their last 10 meetings.

The Reds also lost their opener to the Angels 3-1 in 13 innings on Monday, with Hoover giving up a pair of runs.

Harper connected on a two-run shot of f Mike

Leake in the third inning, his third homer of the season. Ramos added a tworun homer in the sixth, a pleasant moment in a ballpark where the catcher had his lowest point last season.

Ramos also homered at Great American last year, but later tore cartilage in his right knee while chasing a passed ball. He needed two operations to get the knee healed and missed the rest of the season.

Washington made three errors that kept the Reds in it.

Desmond’s throwing error set up Todd Frazier’s RBI double in the fourth.

His fielding error let in another run in the eighth that trimmed it to 5-4.

Desmond has four errors already after committing only 15 last season.

“Guys are getting me ground balls, and I look like I’ve never fielded a ground ball before,” Desmond said. “It’s tough.

“I can’t imagine what it would have been like with a loss. Obviously for myself it wouldn’t have been an easy day. It’s still not going to be an easy day — 1 for 4 with two errors isn’t very productive, I guess you’d say.”

Frazier had three hits and drove in two of Cincinnati’s runs. He’s the only Reds player to hit safely in all five games.

Choo, obtained from Cleveland in the offseason to bat leadoff, had a homer and a single, and was hit by a pitch for the fourth time in five games. He has reached base safely in 13 of his 25 plate appearances.

New York 7, Miami 3 NEW YORK (AP) — John Buck drove in four runs and was part of a rare umpire’s call that helped the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 7-3 on Saturday.

Collin Cowgill homered, David Wright got three hits and slumping Ike Davis

added a pair of singles to lift the Mets on a brisk afternoon at Citi Field.

New York led 3-2 in the seventh inning moments before plate umpire Jim Joyce made the unusual call.

Juan Pierre was at second base and Greg Dobbs hit a two-out single. Pierre dashed home easily with the tying run as right fielder Mike Baxter’s throw was 10 feet wide of Buck at the plate. Pierre crossed home but then collided with Buck as the catcher planted to try and throw out Dobbs at second.

Joyce immediately called Pierre for interference and ruled Dobbs out, ending the inning. Marlins manager Mike Redmond discussed the call with Joyce.

Moments later, the Mets scored three times to break away. Daniel Murphy hit an RBI triple, Wright singled home a run and Buck had a sacrifice fly. Catcher Miguel Olivo contributed to Miami’s problems in the seventh with two throwing errors on steals at second base.

Cowgill, who hit a grand slam on opening day, had a solo homer in the Mets’ eighth.

St. Louis 6, San Francisco 3 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Carlos Beltran hit a goahead two-run single in the fifth against his for mer team and Shelby Miller beat the reigning World Series champion San Francisco Giants in his second career start, spoiling Buster Posey’s MVP party with a 6-3 win for the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday.

Pete Kozma had three hits, drove in a run and scored for St. Louis from the No. 8 spot in the order, Matt Holliday singled in a run and Matt Carpenter added an RBI single in the ninth.

Beltran also hit an RBI

single in the first against R yan Vogelsong in a matchup of the teams that won the past three World Series — and a rematch of last fall’s NL championship series won in seven games by the Giants.

Atlanta 6, Chicago 5 ATLANTA (AP) — B.J. Upton led of f the ninth inning with a homer and his brother Justin followed one out later with another long ball that helped the Atlanta Braves rally past embattled Chicago Cubs closer Carlos Marmol for a 6-5 victory Saturday night.

Justin Upton went 3 for 5 with three RBIs. He also homered in the first and now has five homers in Atlanta’s first five games.

The Braves rallied from a 5-1 deficit with three runs in the eighth off Kyuji Fukijawa and two in the ninth off Marmol.

Justin Upton’s solo shot in the first inning made it 1-all. He followed with leadoff double in the eighth and scored the first of three Atlanta runs that cut the lead to 5-4.

Marmol’s blown save, his second in three chances this week, wasted what would have been a victory for starting pitcher Carlos Villanueva.

Colorado 6, San Diego 3 DENVER (AP) — Jon Garland threw six sharp innings in his first appearance in almost two years and Michael Cuddyer drove in four runs, helping the Colorado Rockies to a 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.

Garland (1-0) hardly showed any signs of rust in his first big league start since Jun 1, 2011. He had season-ending shoulder surgery a month later. The procedure also kept him sidelined for 2012. He gave up two runs and struck out two.

gruesome injury; he snapped his tibia and the bone broke through the skin during last weekend’s Midwest Regional final.

But Louisville had come back to win five games after trailing by nine points or more already this year, including rallying from a 16point deficit in the title game at the Big East tournament.

This one trumped them all.

“It’s tough for Wichita State to lose this game tonight because they played great. We had to dig in,” Pitino said. “Four of our starters had their worst start of the season. We had to win the game with our second unit.”

Henderson, the walk-on who was forced into increased playing time because of Ware’s injury, made back-to-back 3s to spark a 21-8 run. While Hancock and Behanan were knocking down shots, Smith and Peyton Siva were turning up the heat on the Shockers.

After going more than 26 minutes without a turnover,

“My hats go off to Danielle Hubbard and the Goddard Rockets,” he said. “She killed us. She did a great job.

“She did a great job in the circle and hit the ball extremely well. She did a fantastic job. Hats go off to her and her team.”

The game was a stalemate for three innings before Goddard finally took control in the top half of the fourth.

With two outs and the bases loaded, Hubbard knocked a single into left, plating Kyla Casaus and Brooke Steen to give Goddard a 2-0 lead.

Kaitlyn Renteria scored shortly thereafter on a passed ball, pushing the Rocket lead to 3-0.

The score stayed that way until the sixth.

Mileena Sanchez and Renteria each singled to start the inning and Hubbard followed with a three-run dinger to left on the first pitch of her at-bat.

In the seventh, Sanchez and Renteria walked with two outs and Hubbard again went yard to left for a three-run homer.

The game was all but decided when Roswell came to bat in the bottom of the seventh and turned three hits into a run for the final margin.

Tiffanie Bolanos drove in the lone Coyote run with a single that scored Isabel Cain.

Siva darted in to strip the ball away from Carl Hall. He fed Hancock, who drilled a 3 that gave Louisville a 56-55 lead, its first since the end of the first half.

“Down the stretch, we were just loose with the ball, we just didn’t take care of it, pretty much,” Wichita State’s Malcolm Armstead said. “I can’t give you an explanation — it just happened.”

Early would give the Shockers one more lead, converting a three-point play. But Siva scored and then Smith stole the ball and took it in for an easy layup that gave Louisville a 60-58 lead with 4:47 left. Louisville fans erupted, and even Ware was on his feet, throwing up his arms and clapping. The Cardinals extended the lead to 65-60 on a tip-in of a Smith miss and another 3 by Hancock.

Wichita State had one last chance, pulling within 68-66 on Early’s tip in with 22 seconds left. But the Shockers were forced to foul, and Smith and Hancock made their free throws to seal the victory.

As the final buzzer sounded, Chane Behanan tossed the ball high into the air and Mykaya Olivas took the loss for Roswell (7-8), allowing six runs on nine hits in five-plus innings in the circle.

Hobbs 13, Goddard 0 AR TESIA — Goddard allowed eight walks and three hits and made four errors in a four -inning loss to Hobbs in the semifinals on Saturday morning.

Hobbs jumped ahead 3-0 without even recording a hit in the first inning thanks to four walks and two hit batsmen. By the end of the first, Hobbs led 7-0 off one hit, five walks, two hit batsmen and an error.

Hubbard took the loss after giving up seven runs on one hit and five walks in 2/3 inning.

Katie Shanor and Casaus each had one hit.

Artesia 9, Roswell 1 AR TESIA — Artesia scored at least once in all four of its trips to the plate and ran away with a five-inning victory in the semifinals on Saturday morning.

The Bulldogs scored once in the first, thrice in the second and third and twice in the fourth en route to the win.

Anissa Munoz took the loss for Roswell after allowing seven runs on eight hits and striking out four in three innings.

Natasha Chavez, Aleena Hernandez and Priscilla Lucero were each 1 for 2. Chavez had an RBI and Lucero had the team’s only run.

SPORTS

Henderson and Hancock did a flying shoulder bump at midcourt.

“It’s just a mix of emotions, of feelings. It hurts to have to lose and be the end of the season,” Early said.

“But these guys fought to the end, and we had a great season and keep our heads high and know the grind doesn’t stop.”

The Cardinals were the overall No. 1 seed in the tournament, and they steamrolled their way through their first four games, winning by an average of almost 22 points. They limited opponents to 59 points and 42 percent shooting while harassing them into almost 18 turnovers a game, setting an NCAA tourney record with 20 steals against North Carolina A&T. The presence of Ware was supposed to provide even more motivation for Louisville, which already had some unfinished business after losing to Kentucky in last year’s Final Four.

He urged his teammates to “just go win the game” before being wheeled off the court on a stretcher last weekend.

Three days later, he joined the Cardinals as they made the trip to the Final Four in Atlanta, Ware’s hometown.

The Cardinals have modified their warm-up T-shirts in Ware’s honor — they now read “Ri5e to the Occasion,” with Ware’s No. 5 on the back. He had a seat at the end of the bench, his right leg propped up on towels, and every one of the starters went to shake his hand after being introduced.

But whether it was the emotional roller-coaster of the last week, the expectations or just Wichita State, the Cardinals seemed out of sorts much of the night.

Jacob Gomez picked up the win for the Broncos, striking out three and allowing just four hits in seven innings of work.

In Game 2, NMMI led by scores of 3-0 and 5-2, but trailed 8-5 entering the bottom of the sixth inning.

The Broncos (13-25, 5-15 WJCAC) knotted things up with three runs on four hits. The momentum would be shortlived, though, as the Chaps plated three runs in the seventh and added seven more in the ninth to put the game out of reach.

Planning for the unknown: not easy, but necessary STEVE WOLFE ROSWELL SAFE COALITION

Early in life, we begin to learn how to plan. Our parents help us decide what clothes we will wear to school tomorrow. We plan our homework, our football practice, or our violin rehearsal. Later on we begin planning for education or for our life’s work.

We go through life planning for one thing or another.

It’s relatively easy to plan for things which we are pretty sure are going to happen. However, it seems much harder to plan and prepare for events which will probably never occur.

Planning for a disaster which we pray will not hap-

pen is a perfect example.

I have just found a web site which seems to be very effective for such planning.

It is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) web site, ready.gov.

Among the first subjects discussed is the need to have an emergency supply kit prepared and at your fingertips. Water is critical to this kit and there should be one gallon of water per person for a period of at least three days for drinking and sanitation. By the way, the recommendation is to have two kits ready, the second one more lightweight and good for traveling should you have to get away.

In all lists such as this,

food should be the second item for your kit. Store food that will not go bad and does not have to be heated or cooked. Choose foods that your family will eat, including protein or fruit bars, dry cereal or granola, canned foods and juices, peanut butter, dried fruit, nuts, crackers and baby foods. Don’t forget to

Roswell Daily Record

include a manual can opener, cups and eating utensils. Additionally, if you have pets, be sure to consider them in all of your planning.

Clean air is a third “must have” for such a kit. Please read through the website for some of these considerations. Of course, your preparations in this case are dependent upon the threat. Perhaps your family needs only dust masks, but other items such as duct tape and plastic sheeting may be needed as well.

There are many sources which list recommended supplies to include in your kit, but it is most important that you plan specifically for your family. Don’t

forget such things as prescriptions and important paperwork. You might decide that some of these documents should already be stored in a bank safe deposit vault.

Among the most important planning steps to take is developing a family communications plan. It is altogether possible, even likely, that your family will not all be together when disaster strikes. It is therefore critical that you all sit down and together make a definite plan. Determine a plan where each family member calls, emails, or texts the same friend or relative. It may be best to select an out-of-town or out-of-state individual because your

town may be out of power and with restricted communications. You may also want to interact similarly with neighbors, schools and daycare, friends or others about whom you care.

Finally, please understand that I have just touched this subject!

Check out websites and other available sources where there is a wealth of information available. And then, pray that it never becomes necessary!

A reminder: Prescription Drug Takeback coming up Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at 426 North Main (Fifth and Main). You’ll hear more about this.

Eastern New Mexico University- Roswell Art and Spanish instructor Jennie Bower recently published a book, “How to Be an Artist if All You Can Draw is Stick Figures.” Unlike many how-to art books that offer stepby-step formulas for drawing specific things (waterfalls, children, jungle animals), this publication ignores formulas completely. The book provides a series of simple exercises that help non-artists begin to “speak” a completely visual language more fluently. Pages of simple activities introduce newcomers to the mindset and basic orientation of artistry by offering tasks that build visual literacy, confidence, and introduce the elements and principles of visual composition.

“It’s not about how to draw,” said Bower. “And it’s not about how to make something look real. It’s about all the other stuff of art.” Bower said that “other stuff” of art is the “oomph” of art. Volume I is currently available both through Kindle Select until May 9, free of charge, and also through Amazon’s Kindle Store for $.99.

United Way Board selects new executive director Roswell Daily Record

The United Way of Carlsbad & South Eddy County has selected Shaye Coats as its executive director, Board President Lori Elyasevich announced recently.

The United Way of Carlsbad & South Eddy County supports local nonprofit organizations and projects designed to make a positive impact on the community.

Last year, the organization raised more than $750,000, most of which will directly support initiatives aiming to provide educational, income and health improvement opportunities for local residents.

Coats will replace Kirstin Carlson, who resigned last month after serving the United Way for two years.

Carlson ran two successful campaigns and departed on positive ter ms with the United Way’s board.

“We had some incredible candidates who really impressed our board members, both through their resumes and in interviews,” Elyasevich said about this year’s selection process.

“But what really stood out with Shaye is that she didn’t just impress. She inspired. Shaye’s passion for the United Way and her obvious strong desire to serve this community just plain wowed the members of our board of directors.

We felt like she belonged here.”

An extensive and diverse pool of applications expressed interest in the position. Board members ranked the candidates based on their applications and then invited the topranked candidates to participate in an interview process.

“Conducting a job interview in front of an entire board can be imposing, but Shaye handled the process by providing an abundance of insight, ideas and energy,” Elyasevich said. “There was a spark inside of her that really led us to believe she will serve as an outstanding ambassador for this organization.”

Shaye’s sister, Shanna York, is the business manager for the United Way of Carlsbad & South Eddy County. Elyasevich said York is an extremely capable, well-regarded employee, but her sister’s application was treated on its own merits.

“We were very careful as a board to recuse Shanna from our entire selection process,” Elyasevich added “Shaye was given no preferential treatment during our

Sunday, April 7, 2013

interviewing process; if anything, she had to overcome an additional burden caused by our initial concerns.”

The United Way board consists of a diverse representation of community members, including members of the banking, medical and potash communities. Elyasevich is the Director of Therapy for Home Care Connection.

“The men and women on our board volunteer because they want to help serve this community,” Elyasevich said. “We wanted a director who will get up in the morning thinking about new ways to serve this community, and we believe Shaye is that candidate.”

SANTA FE —New Mexico Film Office director Nick Maniatis announced today the production of the western comedy “A Million Days to Die in the West” starring Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried and Sarah Silverman.

The Media Rights Capital production will begin filming in early May 2013 through early July 2013 in and around Jemez Pueblo, Shiprock, Bonanza Creek and Chama.

The production will employ more than 1,200 New Mexico crewmembers, more than 2,000 New Mexico background talent and approximately 20 New Mexico principal actors.

Seth MacFarlane serves as director, producer and co-writer of the film. Scott

Stuber (TED, Identity Thief, Love and Other Drugs) and Jason Clark (TED, The Cabin in the Woods, Act of Valor) serve as producers, Wellesley Wild (TED) and Alex Sulkin (TED) serve as co-writers.

“A Million Ways to Die in the West” tells the story of a cowardly sheep farmer who backs out of a gunfight causing his fickle girlfriend to leave him for another man. When a mysterious and beautiful woman rides into town, she helps him find his courage and they begin to fall in love. But when her husband, a notorious outlaw, arrives seeking revenge, the farmer must put his newfound courage to the test.

‘At fertilization’ declaration gives some pause

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A phrase declaring that life begins “at fertilization” tucked into new abortion legislation in Kansas is creating concern among abortion rights advocates that the wording will inspire new attempts to prevent the procedure.

Supporters of the measure said the language is no more than a statement of principle — similar to those found in several states, including neighboring Missouri — rather than an attempt to prevent any pregnancies from being terminated. But advocates on both sides of the issue acknowledge the wording could prove helpful to abortion opponents over time.

The bill, sent late Friday to Gov. Sam Brownback, would block potential tax breaks for abortion providers and ban them from fur nishing materials or instructors for public school sex education classes. It also outlaws sex-selection abortions and spells out in greater detail what information doctors must provide to women before an abortion.

The measure’s provision declaring that life begins at fertilization says that “unborn children have

interests in life, health and wellbeing that should be protected” and that their parents also have “protectable interests” in their children’s well-being. A similar idea is embodied in “personhood” measures in other states, which are aimed at revising their constitutions to ban abortion; none have been enacted, though the question will be put to North Dakota voters in 2014.

However, Kansas lawmakers aren’t trying to change the state constitution to ban abortions, and the provision notes that any rights suggested by the language are limited by decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. Should Brownback — a Republican and a strong abortion opponent — sign the bill as expected, Kansas would become the 14th state to have such language in its laws, according to the National Right to Life Committee.

Many anti-abortion legislators see ‘at fertilization’ statements as symbolic. But it could underpin lawsuits by prospective parents or grandparents who want to block abortions or be cited by abortion opponents in pushing

law enforcement officials to scrutinize clinics, said Troy Newman, president of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue.

“For me, this is just delightful,” Newman said. “It opens up so many avenues.”

Kansas isn’t the only state to seek new abortion restrictions during this year’s legislative sessions. Last month, Arkansas banned most abortions after the 12th week of pregnancy, and a couple weeks later, North Dakota’s governor signed into a law a measure that prohibits abortions as early as the sixth week.

Abortion rights advocates said Kansas’ new restrictions won’t be as severe as those states, but they also don’t trust assertions from abortion opponents that the language on when life begins represents only a statement of principles.

“Could it be used as a tool of harassment? Absolutely,” said Holly Weatherford, lobbyist and program director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri.

But so far, similar language in other states — including Illinois,

Nebraska, Ohio and Pennsylvania — has failed to trigger high-profile court challenges, experts say.

A preamble to Missouri’s abortion restrictions that states that life begins at conception has been in place since 1986 and has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, which said states can “make a value judgment favoring childbirth over abortion.” The only notable effect in Missouri came in 2010, when a law required that women wanting an abortion must be given a brochure that includes a statement taken from the preamble: “The life of each human being begins at conception.”

Paul Linton, a constitutional scholar and special counsel to the Thomas More Society in Chicago, said Illinois’ “fertilization” language is part of the preamble to the 1975 Illinois Abortion Act. But it doesn’t have any substantive effect and lacks enough detail to reinstate pre-Roe vs. Wade abortion law in the state.

“It’s more of a policy expression or a wish than it is substantive language,” Linton said.

Kansas House Judiciary Com-

mittee Chairman Lance Kinzer, an attorney and Olathe Republican who opposes abortion, said he sees “zero chance” that lawsuits filed against providers to block abortions or shut providers down would be successful under his state’s new language.

“It is only an aspirational statement,” he said, adding, “Symbols are important.”

But Talcott Camp, deputy director of the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project, said the language could eventually “open the door to extreme interpretation of other laws. It provides something that future bill sponsors would point to, and say, ‘This is already Kansas law.”’

The new restrictions would take effect July 1, a little more than four years after Wichita Dr. George Tiller — then among the few in the U.S. known to perform late-term abortions — was shot to death as he served as an usher at his church. His killer, Scott Roeder, said he was defending the unborn.

Sandy Hook families bring emotion to gun debate

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bringing their emotional advocacy to the national gun debate, families of those killed in the Connecticut school shooting are appearing with President Barack Obama and walking the halls of Congress to plead for stricter regulations.

They already have helped push through the nation’s most restrictive firearms law, which Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, D-Conn., signed Thursday.

With no lobbying background and fueled by the power of their emotions, a group of Sandy Hook Elementary School families can take credit for helping shape the measure as it moved through the state Legislature.

Now they’re trying to do the same in Washington, where gun legislation is facing tough resistance. Congress is returning from spring break, and Newtown, Conn., families plan to spend the coming week on Capitol Hill.

Their goal of their personal appeals is to speak to every senator who has yet to

express support for the gun legislation, and to show how the Dec. 14 shooting has affected their lives.

“I’m not a constitutional scholar and I’m not a Second Amendment specialist,” David Wheeler, who lost his 6-year-old son, Benjamin, said in a telephone interview.

“I don’t know the ins and outs of gun policy but I know ...,” his voice trailed off as a sob catches in his throat. “But I now know one of the things that no father should ever know. And in our system of representative government we have to use our voices.”

The families of the 20 children and six staff members killed in the December shooting at Sandy Hook are a diverse group politically.

They include gun owners, and Democrats and Republicans. They don’t always agree on gun policy.

One father — Mark Mattioli, who lost his 6-year-old son, James — attended a National

Rifle Association news conference last week to endorse a proposal to train school staffers as armed security officers.

But relatives of nine victims have come together with a nonprofit group called Sandy Hook Promise to sign a letter sent Thursday to senators. It asks them to vote to expand background checks for gun purchases, strengthen laws against gun trafficking and ban ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.

Nicole Hockley wonders if her 6-year-old son, Dylan, might be alive if shooter Adam Lanza hadn’t been able to carry 10 magazines that held 30 rounds each into the school that day.

Lanza was able to fire 154 shots during a four-minute rampage in the school. But he stopped shooting briefly in Dylan’s classroom to reload, giving 11 children time to escape.

“They ran for their lives,” Hockley said.

“Dylan was not so fortunate. If there were

lower capacity magazine clips, there’s a chance Dylan would be here with me today.”

She drives home the point on visits with lawmakers by handing out a photo card — the kind she might have made for a family holiday greeting — with three pictures of her son.

The largest photo shows him wearing a Superman T-shirt. He’s caught in a wide grin that brightens his whole face. “Honor his life,” the card says under the dates, 3/8/0612/14/12. “Stand with us for change. Now is the time.”

Bill Sherlach passes out a similar card with photos of his wife, Mary, a school psychologist who died as she rushed toward Lanza, trying to stop the shooter. Sherlach said he tells lawmakers about the bravery displayed by his wife and the other school staffers, and he asks, “Can you show the same courage in your vote today?”

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Croodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is fun for all ages B10 Sunday, April 7, 2013

ENTERTAINMENT

Overview

The Croods is a prehistoric comedy adventure that follows the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed. T raveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and their outlook is changed forever.

DreamWorks Animation

What it does right

Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 4.5 out of 5 UFOs

Aside from the lack of a bad guy, the narrative is clever and heartfelt, which makes this a more adultfriendly childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie.

The little ones will love the film thanks to its slapstick humor and zany characters (Belt and Sandy), while the story of the Croodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggle to adapt to a new world will resonate with the guardians of those little ones.

Roswell Daily Record

R yan Reynolds (Guy), Emma Stone (Eep), Catherine Keener (Ugga) flesh out a superb vocal cast, but the real star is Nicolas Cage.

Cage is often made fun of for his selection of movies, but the only talk about him in this movie is how wonderful a job he does bringing Grug to life.

Animation can only do so much to bring a character to life. The voice talent has to finish that work and in Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, he succeeds.

It was no surprise that Cage would shine in the crazy parts of the movie (Grugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hippy/idea sequence was gut-busting), but his ability to display Grugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pain as he watches his family warm up to Guy and the new world was a pleasant surprise and is what makes this movie work. The climax of the film banks on the audience having developed a connection with Grug and, thanks to Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, they do.

The biggest flaw in the film is a lack of a true villain. I suppose â&#x20AC;&#x153;the end of the worldâ&#x20AC;? is the villain, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as well as a physical bad guy would have.

I was also a bit disappointed that the film didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a darker route at the climax of the movie, but, considering that this will likely become a multi-film franchise, I understand the decision to keep it kidfriendly.

While Pixar is the king of the animated film market, DreamWorks Animation continues to prove that it should be mentioned in the same breath as Pixar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Croodsâ&#x20AC;? has the goofiness and exotic locales that kids will love, while providing a story and situations at which adults can appreciate and laugh. If you are looking for a film for everyone in your family, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Croodsâ&#x20AC;? is the movie for you.

launched â&#x20AC;&#x153;The George Lopez Show.â&#x20AC;? But when Lopez was bumped back an hour to midnight to make way for Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-â&#x20AC;?Tonightâ&#x20AC;? effort, ratings fell and Lopez got a pink slip. He had averaged 910,000 viewers at 11 p.m. Eastern; so far this season, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien is averaging just under 600,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and just earned a renewal through 2015.

Lopez is canceled, Wanda Sykes loses her low-rated Saturday night Fox show, and it gives networks an out, said UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunt: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll point to the example of the cautionary tale as to why diversity is not a good thing for the bottom line.â&#x20AC;?

But Garth Ancier saw firsthand the value of going against the grain in his tenure as Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first enter-

tainment programming chief.

While Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fox stint was relatively brief â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the network cited low viewership, she blames a business clash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it helped give a boost to Hall, one of the guest hosts who succeeded her, and proved there was an audience appetite for something new. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arsenio was getting ratings almost immediately because there was no one like him on late night,â&#x20AC;? recalled Ancier. Hall made such a splash that, although Fox failed to snap him up, he struck a syndication deal and was on the air from 1989-94.

Ancier, who later moved over to the WB that launched in 1995 (and which later merged with

UPN to form the CW), tried to go the non-traditional route again by proposing a Rosie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell talk show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough enthusiasm from affiliates,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Network affiliate stations are indeed part of latenightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resistance to change, said Christine Becker, an associate professor at Notre Dame University who writes the News For TV Majors blog.

Since lucrative local newscasts flow into talk shows, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an â&#x20AC;&#x153;inherent fearâ&#x20AC;? at networks that stations or sponsors will be alienated by unfamiliar fare, Becker said.

Keeping viewers from flipping also conveniently delivers them back to the same channel the next morning.

What it does wrong

Verdict

Late-night network shows still a white menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The role of female talk show hosts in late-night TV broadcast network history, all 50-plus years of it, can be summed up in two words: Joan Rivers. It takes just another two â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arsenio Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to do the same for minorities.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no indication thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to change in the latest round of musical chairs involving â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Night.â&#x20AC;? All the NBC, ABC and CBS showcase jobs at 11:30 p.m.

Eastern and later appear likely to remain securely in white menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands.

Jay Leno is handing off to Jimmy Fallon, with speculation tagging Seth Meyers as his likely successor. Meanwhile, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson and Carson Daly are sitting pretty, without the faintest drumbeat of a pair of advancing high heels to signal a threat.

There have been alternatives bandied about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chelsea Handler, black comedian-writer Aisha Tyler â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but no hints they or others are getting traction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In real life it seems to me that women have definitely shown themselves to be able to carry on a conversation,â&#x20AC;? said Merrill Markoe, the Emmy Award-winning writer who helped David Letterman create â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Nightâ&#x20AC;? at NBC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women have exhibited an interest in talking for centuries. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how it is that no one has seemed to notice.â&#x20AC;?

NBC did not respond to requests for comment on the issue. But if belles du jour Tina Fey and Amy Poehler can excel at TV sitcoms and movies and teach Ricky Gervais a thing or two (or three) about hosting the Golden Globes, could they be queens of the night with their own talk shows? Or maybe a Hispanic or AsianAmerican man could have a turn. We may miss out on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmy Kimmel Liveâ&#x20AC;? clip of a heavyset woman lifting her T -shirt, and the host then warning us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need to take a break. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to throw up,â&#x20AC;? but we might get other thrills.

Women and minorities have conquered other traditionally white male-dominated arenas, on and off TV â&#x20AC;&#x201D; think anchorwoman Diane Sawyer, President Barack Obama â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but in late-night even daring cable is content with the homogenized likes of Conan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, with such occasional dashes as E!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Handler, BETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nique and TBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nowgone George Lopez thrown in.

Rivers, who became host of Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Late Showâ&#x20AC;? in 1986 after filling in as the sole regular guest host on Johnny Carsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight,â&#x20AC;? calls the lack of female hosts

â&#x20AC;&#x153;beyondâ&#x20AC;? frustrating.

Blame the broadcast industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resistance toward change and the risk of failure, she said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is running so scared, and has always run scared.â&#x20AC;?

And executives can find reasons, or excuses, for keeping the status quo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had surveys at NBC, and the surveys were that women would rather watch a man at night, which is what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always throwing up in your face,â&#x20AC;?

Rivers said.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an argument thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still made, privately, in the industry: Women want to hear their pre-bedtime monologue jokes from a man, while Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Katie Couric are welcome in daytime.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that women make up a majority of the audience for every network latenight show. ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kimmel, for instance, is averaging 1.4 million female viewers and 770,000 male viewers this season, while Leno is watched by 1.9 million women and 1.5 million men, according to Nielsen Co. ratings.

But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chelsea Latelyâ&#x20AC;? casts doubt on the notion of women snubbing women. Of Handlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 650,000 viewers, about 65 percent are female â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a higher percentage of women than any male network host except Kimmel, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about even with that number.

While networks also have to worry about drawing male viewers, especially the advertiser-coveted younger ones, the hard truth is that battle is being lost to edgier cable hosts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stewart, Colbert and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien all have majority-male audiences â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to the video games and online distractions that consume their attention.

The networks have other reasons to reconsider their white-guys-only strategy, according to an analysis of Nielsen data: They are losing out on minority viewers, Hispanics in particular.

Of the total 3.44 million viewers averaged by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonightâ&#x20AC;? for the season through March 24, there were 188,000 Hispanics.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 5 percent of the total audience, compared to the nearly 17 percent Latino slice of the U.S. population.

The other late-night shows show similar degrees of disconnect with Hispanics, although some can boast healthy black viewership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guess what? Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more diverse,â&#x20AC;? said Darnell Montez Hunt, a University of California, Los Angeles, professor who studies race and media.

Late-night shows â&#x20AC;&#x153;could grow a larger and diverse audience by making different choices behind the camera and in front of the cam-

era.â&#x20AC;?

That means, in part, casting a wider net for young comedians and giving them a chance to develop into big league material, as Fallon was able to do when he moved from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Liveâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Night.â&#x20AC;?

There are plenty of comers to choose from, said Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who sees a parade of talented women and minorities on stage as his comedy clubs in the Los Angeles area and Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could give your three or four names who could be the best host,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony Rock, the brother of Chris Rock, would be a fantastic guy to do a talk show.â&#x20AC;?

Grow!

... with the help of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce VANESSA KAHIN VISTAS EDITOR COURTESY PHOTOS

It’s springtime, and Roswell—with the rest of the northern hemisphere—is in a state of growth.

Indeed, stories-high hotels, gas stations and new eateries are appropriately “springing” up around town. With more and more people arriving in Roswell to visit, or to permanently call it “home,” how can a business-minded professional keep up-to-date?

The staff at the Roswell Chamber of Commerce has an idea or two not only on how to navigate the growing city of Roswell, but also on how to be part of its growth. Located at 131 W. Second St., the Roswell Chamber of Commerce helps promote the social and economic prosperity of all of Chaves County. In action, the Chamber assists in business development and encourages tourism.

However, despite a deep commitment to the community and knowledge of a plethora of local events, Chamber staff must first be made aware of a group, organization, business or individual before it can promote it. The best way to take Meet the Roswell Chamber of Com- advantage of what the Chamber has to offer is to become a member.

Easy and cost-efficient, becoming a member of the Chamber is further simplified by helpful staff members available to dismerce staff. Pictured here: Executive cuss various membership levels. Memberships vary depending on whether or not the entity in question is a business, individDirector Dorrie Faubus-McCarty. ual or nonprofit; the number of employees at the business and the level of exposure desired. Perks of being a Roswell Chamber of Commerce member can include membership in Keep Roswell Beautiful, recognition and reserved seating at Chamber-sponsored event, Redcoat appearances at a special event, referral service, and an ad on the Chamber website, just to name a few.

The Roswell Chamber of Commerce already backs several well-known local events, including the Chile Cheese Festival, the Farmers Market, Piñatafest, the Christmas Electric Light Parade and the Old Timers Balloon Rally. Absolutely none of these are Roswell Chamber of Commerce events, but they are promoted by the Chamber in the name of community spirit and fostering the local economy. “(Attendees are) having fun, but also spending;” noted Dorrie Faubus-McCarty, executive director of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce. “All of it is a major impact on our economy.

“We try to be a team here,” Faubus-McCarty added. “It doesn’t have to be a Roswell Chamber of Commerce event for us to be behind it 100 percent.”

However, there are numerous community contributions that are truly Roswell Chamber of Commerce through-and-through.

These include Hike It and Spike It, Leadership Roswell and the Roswell Redcoats.

Hailed as the world’s largest flag football tournament, Hike It & Spike It 2012 included 551 teams, and it is estimated that last year’s tournament attracted approximately 3,600 players. Set to take place at Cielo Grande Recreation Area on May 24-26, it is not too late to join the fun—either as a player or as a sponsor.

Leadership Roswell—a Roswell Chamber of Commerce program—has been helping local professionals become community leaders since the early 1980s. The program builds on the premise that to be the best community possible, Roswell must first have strong, competent leaders.

“It’s a great class,” Faubus-McCarty said of the leadership course, which meets once a month for a seminar-like class from September through May. “It takes you through every aspect of the community.” This includes having classes with specific designations such as County Day, Law Enforcement Day, City Day and Education Day. Lastly, they’re always seen in a group—an entourage of friendly and courteous professionals that stand out not only Candace Lewis, Roswell Chamber of because of their confidence, but also because of their bright red coats. They can be seen at ribbon-cuttings, greeting VIPs Commerce office manager. when they come to Roswell as well as at ground-breakings, just to name a few events.

Truly hard to miss, the presence of the Roswell Redcoats has a way of breathing an air of class and savoir-faire into any event. The impact of the Redcoats’ presence is not lost on Faubus-McCarty, who referred to the group as the Chamber’s ambassador club; the “visual” part of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce.

“A lot of people wonder, ‘what would it take for me to be one of the Redcoats?’” she said. One requirement is to be in a managerial position, one in which the Redcoats candidate can make his or her own schedule. The Redcoats are often required for a specific function at the drop of a hat, Faubus-McCarty said.

Other business-related events the Roswell Chamber of Commerce helps with include Lunch and Learns and Business After Hours. Like other programs either offered through or backed by the Chamber, these are opportunities to learn, grow, network and be a benefit to the community.

In essence, this is the mission of the Rowell Chamber of Commerce.

“If (it’s) good for Roswell we’re behind it,” Faubus-McCarty said.

Blended family learning to adjust to disciplining kids

Q: My husband and I recently married. We both have children from previous marriages. It’s hard to be fair and consistent in how we treat all of them. Do you have any ideas on how we can build strong relationships among all of us?

Jim: Congratulations on your marriage! Blending two families can be tough, but it’s not impossible.

Ron L. Deal, an expert on blended families, has identified three positive relationship stages that you and your husband should consider: 1) The baby sitter role. Baby sitters have power to manage children only if parents give them power. Your husband should make it clear to his kids that he has granted you the power to manage them, and you should do the same with your kids. For a while, you will simultaneously be the primary parent to your own kids and the “baby sitter” to your husband’s. But this arrangement will not work if you have one set

of rules for his kids and another for yours.

2) The “uncle/aunt” role. An uncle or aunt is not a full-fledged parent, but carries authority as an extended family member.

Stepparents can gradually gain respect that allows children to accept them as extended family members.

3) The “parent” or stepparent role. Eventually, as trust is built, some stepparents gain “parental” status with some children.

Younger kids tend to grant stepparents parental status more quickly than adolescents.

For more, read Ron L. Deal’s book “The Smart Stepfamily: Seven Steps to a Healthy Family” (Bethany House Publishers, 2006). It’s essential reading for families in your situation.

Q: My son responds to discipline in a defiant manner. We have come up with clear consequences for certain behaviors.

Even though he knows the consequences, when we apply the discipline (e.g., wash the dishes for a

week) his anger gets out of control. Do you have any suggestions on how to help him respectfully respond when he has made the choice to disobey?

Leon Wirth, executive director of Parenting and Youth: The main issue here is not your son’s disobedience (you’ve already established reasonable consequences for that), but his angry and inappropriate outbursts when those consequences are enforced.

Author Shana Schutte suggests that parents not wait until their child becomes too angry to deal with the problem. Think about the last time you were really angry. Was it easy to reason with you? More than likely, the prob-

lem was resolved after you had a chance to cool off. In the same way, wait until your son is calm before addressing his anger. In addition, author Lynne Thompson suggests the following: —Show respect. Don’t participate by calling names or getting physical.

— Give your child words to express his anger. Say, “I know you are disappointed (or sad, or frustrated).”

—Set positive limits. Instead of saying, “Don’t you throw that toy,” say, “After you put the toy on the table, we can talk about this.”

—Avoid power struggles. If your goal is to control, you will teach him to control others.

—Provide a cooling-off period by reading a book together or going on a walk. Then calmly discuss what happened and make a plan for next time.

—Finally, help your son find clarity about what is driving his anger. Is it the consequences? Is it guilt about getting caught in

certain behaviors? He needs to learn what’s in his heart that’s driving his anger, not just focus on the sur face of his angry actions.

Your son’s outbursts might simply represent an attempt on his part to avoid the consequences (e.g., washing the dishes) of his original infraction. Even as you employ techniques to help diffuse his anger, make sure he follows through on washing those dishes!

Recipes for strawberries featured on ‘Creative Living’ Local Testing Center highly rated The Testing Center at Eastern New Mexico University- Roswell is among a group of sites worldwide that recently passed a secret shopper evaluation for Prometric. As most of the global test centers are aware, Prometric’s Security Department conducts regular third party secret shops throughout the year.

According to the notification from Prometric, “this shopping program is designed to evaluate the test centers’ adherence to security protocols and the quality of their overall test delivery experience to candidates.” Sites are evaluated on protocols like checking ID, ensuring no personal belongings enter the test room, monitoring of candidates at all times, and handling candidate misconduct when it occurs. Sites can be rewarded and penalized based on their performance during the shops. Additionally, the scores from these shops are an important factor in Prometric’s new TC Score Measurement Tool.

Prometric operates a secure network of about 10,000 test centers in more than 160 countries and have more than 15 global corporate offices scattered throughout the world. There are 600 Professional sites located in the United States, however not all sites are evaluated with site shops and DVR audits at the same time.

“We have candidates who fly in to Roswell from California, Nebraska, Texas, New York, and from all over the country to test with us. It’s amazing. Our Prometric test administrators, Matthew Rincon and Juan Hernandez do a great job,” said M. Elaine Espinosa-Sims, director of Testing Services.

Prometric congratulated the ENMU-R Testing Center as one of the sites in the Americas region that have passed their secret shops in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Information on making napkins using a new pressure foot, getting the most from candles you buy, and information and recipes featuring strawberries will be the featured topics on “Creative Living” on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. and on Thursday at noon.

Clare Rowley is an inventor and owner of Creative Feet in Prescott Valley, Ariz. She’s going to make napkins using the Satinedge pressure foot she invented for a blind and deaf sewer in 1986.

Since this pressure foot guides the fabric itself, even children or adults with physical and visual challenges can enjoy sewing.

There is a lot to consider when buying candles, and Melanie Thayn is going to talk about what to look for and how to get the most from the candles you buy. This includes burning time, wicks, fragrance, and more. She’s an independent consultant with PartyLite in Plymouth, Mass.

With Florida strawberries, you can enjoy a taste of summer all winter long. Sue Harrell represents the Florida Strawberry Growers Assn., and she’ll talk about the growing season, selection, storage and much more as she prepares a

strawberry/banana smoothie for a quick and healthy breakfast. She lives in Plant City, Fla. Information on making cards, the health benefits of fresh orange juice, and the “team of angels” project will be the featured topics on “Creative Living” on Tuesday at 12 p.m. and on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Maria Nerius represents createforless.com which is located in Portland, Ore., and she will show how to make beautiful cards with the wide variety of card blanks now available.

Pat Baird is a registered dietitian and the spokesperson for Florida Citrus. Baird will explain the health and nutrition benefits of using 100 percent orange juice. She lives in Greenwich, Conn.

Author and humanitarian Trisha Gallagher will tell about her “team of angels” project, explain who receives the pins and how they benefit them. Gallagher is from Norristown, Pa.

Information on the ‘Red Tiger,’ also known as flowering maple

Q. I am sending a picture of a leaf from my Abutilon ‘Red Tiger.’

What was wrong with it? Many of the leaves are turning brown and drying around the edges. This is a house plant and has been protected from the cold weather.

D. Haney Grant County A. Abutilon (the genus name) is commonly called “flowering maple.”

It is related to cotton (in the Malvaceae family), but because the leaf looks like a maple leaf it is called flowering maple. It is indeed a house plant and cannot withstand freezing temperatures. The symptom that you see—dead leaf lobes with the portion nearest the petiole remaining green, is a symptom of “salt burn.” Mineral salts from the water (and sometimes from potting soil) accumulate in the pot and are taken up with water and nutrient minerals (excess nutrient minerals can also cause salt burn). These minerals are deposited in the leaves after the water transpires from the leaf (evaporates through the stomata in the leaf). As the minerals accumulate they reach a

toxic level and begin to kill leaf cells. This happens first near the tip of a leaf (or in this case the leaf lobes) and along the margins (edges) of the leaf.

Salt accumulation is a problem with most houseplants irrigated with water from wells (municipal or private) in the Southwest since these waters often have very high levels of dissolved minerals. The solution to the problem often requires repotting when the mineral salts accumulate too much.

When repotting, gently wash away much of the soil around the roots.

This washes away those excess salts also. Then carefully work potting soil back in around the roots as you replant in a new or, washed and sterilized pot.

To slow the buildup of salts in the soil of houseplants irrigate sufficiently to allow water to drain

away. The soil should be moist when irrigated so that the salts are already dissolved in water and easily washed away. Do not let the water that leaches through the pot reenter through the bottom of the pot, or the salts in that water will return to the soil. Drain the surplus (leachate) water. If the soil is dry when you water, you can water a little at a time to rehydrate the soil before watering to leach away salts, or rehydrate the soil by watering from below. This appears to be a violation of the rule not to let the water reabsorb through the bottom of the pot, but after rehydrating the soil to solubilize the salts, then irrigate from above with sufficient water to leach away the salts. Be sure to dispose of this leachate and do not let it reabsorb into the pot.

Whenever possible, water with rain water. I have been irrigating indoor houseplants for the last year with filtered water (that removed calcium and many other minerals, but not all minerals).

This also reduces the introduction of excess mineral salts to the soil.

When the houseplants are outside in the summer, I can irrigate with tap water that has a higher salt content as long as I leach the soils with each watering. Apply fertilizers to moist potting soils after they have been leached. Remember, fertilizers are also mineral salts that can accumulate, but they are also necessary for good growth of houseplants. Apply fertilizers appropriately according to label directions.

I think I need professional help, but I’m embarrassed and don’t know where to start. Do I need a therapist? How do I locate a good one in my area?

REACHING OUT IN CLEVELAND

DEAR ABBY

DEAR REACHING OUT: Please accept my sympathy.

Considering your history, what you’re experiencing is understandable, and yes, you need to talk to a therapist. The therapy should have started at the time you were molested. To find a “good one,” ask your physician to refer you to several so you can find a person you feel comfortable talking with.

Please do not be embarrassed to be frank, because most therapists have heard everything. It isn’t their job to judge you, only to help you.

None of this was your fault, and your problem is fixable.

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with the man of my dreams for five years. Everything is great between us except for one huge thing — we are no longer intimate.

I have recently come to the realization that this isn’t the first time I have had this problem. I always thought it was an issue with the relationship, but now I suspect it may be linked to molestation I suffered when I was a child. At that time I was told “people who love you don’t touch you like that.”

Logically I know this is different, but my partner tells me I just

ing behind our extended families.

Now, whenever we plan a vacation in our home state, we encounter the same issues. The first is trying to accommodate everyone’s schedule into our own. The second is dividing our time between my family and my husband’s. (His family is smaller than mine.)

Is it fair to divide the time in half — half for his family and half for mine — even though I have so many more relatives on my list? Or should we divide our time by the number of households we need to see? These issues cause my husband and me to argue, and it makes what is supposed to be a vacation very unpleasant. I already feel like canceling the trip.

VACATION ISSUES

DEAR VACATION ISSUES: A solution would be to have two large family get-togethers — one for your family and another for his — during your visit. Then, if you want to visit with the relatives from the two branches of the families individually, you can “divide

and conquer.” He can spend as much time as he wishes with his relatives, and you can spend time with yours.

DEAR ABBY: Every year my workplace sponsors a community blood drive. I am invariably asked by co-workers if I am going to donate. Because I am HIV-positive, I answer no.

Then the person asks me why.

Abby, it is no one’s business.

There could be many reasons — ranging from health to religious to personal. Or a person may simply not want to donate.

I would give if I could. Please ask your readers not to question others about whether they will donate blood. Have you any suggestions about how I should respond?

If not, use a long duster to reach under and get the dust and lint. Then vacuum or sweep it up. It’s important to clean under and around the back at least once a year to prevent a fire hazard.

Heloise #####

Dear Heloise: One of the things I’ve found that enables me to continue wearing clothes that have a scorch mark or a hole in them is to use a decorative iron-on decal to cover the mark or hole. In lieu of ironing it on, you could sew it on. They come in many sizes/designs. You can cover a hole/ scorch mark or a bleach stain made when accidentally splashing a cleaning product. This can extend the life of the garment.

Dear Heloise: With summer approaching, I plan for the hordes of kids who visit to use our pool. One thing that has saved many a crisis is using plastic container lids for sandwich and snack plates outside. I hoard them year-round.

They’re on large margarine tubs and many other foods. I clean them on the top rack of my dishwasher, and store in a drawer near my “snack cupboard.” They are safe to use around the pool, are unbreakable, cost nothing and are disposable. They also are lightweight, so little hands can manage them. They are perfect for a sandwich or a snack. I also use them for small cutting boards when a large one isn’t needed.

SUNDAY BUSINESS

Oreo maker Mondelez gave CEO sweet pay hike NEW YORK (AP) — Mondelez Inter national gave CEO Irene Rosenfeld a pay package worth $22 million last year, as the maker of Oreo cookies and other sweet snacks split from Kraft Foods and began operating as an independent company.

The compensation represents a 40 percent increase from Rosenfeld’s pay in 2011, according to an AP analysis of a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The pay bump was primarily the result of a $10 million special stock grant the compa-

ny gave Rosenfeld for her restructuring work since signing on as CEO in 2006.

Mondelez, based in Deerfield, Ill., also makes Cadbury chocolates, Ritz crackers and Tang drinks.

After rising through the ranks at Kraft Foods for more than two decades, Rosenfeld left the company for a brief stint as the head of Frito-Lay in 2004. She returned to Kraft as CEO in 2006 and set to work on transforming the company.

In 2010, she oversaw the acquisition of the British candy maker Cadbury, a deal that was questioned

by shareholders including Warren Buf fett but that gave the company greater reach into inter national markets. The move set the stage for what came next: the spinoff of the company’s North American grocery unit, which has brands such as Oscar Mayer and Jell-O. Mondelez and Rosenfeld took international snack brands that were seen as more promising for growth.

But in its first quarters, Mondelez Inter national Inc.’s revenue growth has fallen short of its own projections in part because of

what Rosenfeld characterized as “short-term executional missteps.” In the SEC filing, Mondelez noted that the 59-year-old executive’s special stock grant was partly intended to encourage her to continue to “lead the company in the future.”

For 2012, Rosenfeld’s base salary was roughly even from the previous year at $1.6 million. Her stock awards doubled to $15.5 million and her option awards rose to $2.5 million, from $1.9 million in 2011.

Her annual incentive

bonus, which is based on the company’s financial performance, was cut in half to $2.1 million. All other compensation came to $419,721 and covered costs for use of a company plan, car expenses and contributions to retirement plans.

The Associated Press formula for executive compensation takes into account salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formu-

la does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits, which makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the SEC.

The value that a company assigned to an executive’s stock and option awards for 2012 was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time.

High-profile rapes threaten India tourism MF Global gets

MUMBAI, India (AP) — A fatal gang rape in New Delhi didn’t deter Germans Carolina De Paolo and Canan Wahner from traveling to India for a six-week tour.

The attack was awful, but there is crime everywhere, they figured, and they’d take precautions.

Then a man sidled up to Wahner on a train to Goa and ran his hand up her leg a few weeks into the trip. On another train, a different man grabbed De Paolo’s breasts from behind.

“I wanted to scream and do something, but he ran away,” De Paolo said. She never reported the crime, deciding there would be no point. The two women, both 22, say there were times they didn’t feel safe, but they insist they still would come to India again.

That separates them from many tourists, who are choosing not to come at all.

Violence against women, and the huge publicity generated by recent attacks here, is threatening India’s $17.7 billion tourism industry. A new study shows tourism has plunged, especially among women, since a 23-year-old Indian student was raped on a New Delhi bus and later died from her injuries — a case that garnered worldwide publicity.

The government denies any fall off in tourism.

Concerns only grew after the reported gang rape of a Swiss woman in central India last month and after a British woman jumped out of her hotel room window fearing the manager was trying to break into her room to sexually assault her. That incident happened in Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, one of India’s chief tourist attractions.

Foreign tourist arrivals

approval to liquidate NEW YORK (AP) — MF Global’s parent company has won court approval for its liquidation plan.

Judge Martin Glenn approved the plan Friday in U.S. bankruptcy court in Manhattan. MF Global Holdings Ltd. collapsed in late 2011 after a calamitous $6.3 billion bet on bonds issued by debt-burdened European countries.

MF Global had $41.05 billion in assets. Its collapse was the eighth-largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history and the biggest on Wall Street since the September 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers that set off the financial crisis. More than $1 billion in customer money was discovered to be missing.

The plan approved Friday lays out how MF Global will pay back some of its creditors.

have dropped 25 percent since the December gang rape in New Delhi, and the number of female travelers fell by 35 percent, according to the study by the New Delhi-based Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry. The study, which surveyed 1,200 tour operators across the country, indicated that “concerns about the safety of female travelers” have changed tourists’ plans. Instead, they are going to countries perceived to be safer, including Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Tourism Minister K. Chiranjeevi disputed the survey Wednesday, saying that foreign tourist arrivals into India in January and February grew by 2.1 percent.

But Mehraj Shora says it is hard to see that as business dries up in his Mumbai carpet shop.

“Every day it’s getting worse,” Shora laments.

“Tourists are coming, but not like before.”

He blames the international media for hyping recent cases when crimes occur in any country. “Actually, India is quite safe. In some ways it’s safer than other places.”

Still, attacks on female tourists have highlighted what has long been known: Women traveling in India, especially alone, frequently face unwanted advances from men.

Italian model Ginevra Leggeri, 21, says she had no warning when a man groped her from behind while she was walking with a friend in Mumbai, where she came to work a few months ago.

“I was completely covered and we were just walking, and this man touched me, and I started screaming and

I slapped him,” she said.

Her friend and co-worker Amy Manson, 19, quickly pointed out that a pair of Indian men on a passing motorbike saw the incident and stopped to confront the attacker.

“An Indian guy grabbed her, but then two other Indian guys came and helped us,” Manson said. “So it’s like a 50-50 situation.”

But she agrees India’s tourist business will be damaged if it doesn’t take action to protect women.

Last month, the government passed new, more stringent, laws against sexual violence.

“It’s not just the girl in Delhi ... this has been happening for years and years and years,” Manson said.

“It’s just coming out now, which is good, because maybe things will change.”

As for MF Global’s customers, about 89 percent of the money owed to U.S. customers has been distributed, and 18 percent for foreign customers. That’s according to one of the MF Global trustees, James Giddens, who has overseen the liquidation of the firm’s operations and distributed recovered funds to customers.

The judge’s approval comes a day after another trustee in the case, former FBI director Louis Freeh, filed a report lambasting MF Global’s former CEO Jon Corzine and other top managers, saying they had ignored warnings of their chief risk officer.

Freeh is tasked with trying to recover money for creditors and others that MF Global might owe.

A spokesman for Corzine on Thursday strongly refuted Freeh’s report, saying “there was “no basis for the suggestion that Mr. Corzine breached his fiduciary duties or was negligent.” Instead, he blamed the failure of banks and other firms that MF Global traded with.

Corzine, who had been co-chairman of Goldman Sachs as well as a former Democratic U.S. senator and governor of New Jersey, stepped down as MF Global CEO in November 2011.

Giddens last year joined a lawsuit against Corzine and other former executives brought by MF Global customers. MF Global shareholders also have sued Corzine and other executives.

No one has been charged in the MF Global case.

Federal regulators, Congress and a federal grand jury in Chicago have investigated MF Global’s failure and the disappearance of customers’ money.

Study finds Haiti aid largely went to US groups Sochi Games investor seeks help on costs

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A new report on American aid to Haiti in the wake of that country’s devastating earthquake finds much of the money went to U.S.-based companies and organizations.

The Center for Economic and Policy Research analyzed the $1.15 billion pledged after the January 2010 quake and found that the “vast majority” of the money it could follow went straight to U.S. companies or organizations, more than half in the Washington area alone.

Just 1 percent went directly to Haitian companies.

The report’s authors said that a lack of transparency makes it hard to track all the money.

“It is possible to track who the primary recipients of USAID funds are, yet on what are these NGOs and contractors spending the money?” authors Jake Johnston and Alexander Main wrote. “What percent goes to overhead, to staff, vehicles, housing, etc.? What percent has actually been spent on the ground in Haiti?”

USAID did not respond to requests to comment on the report Friday.

The group has been a critic of U.S. foreign policy in the past, accusing the U.S. of a top-down approach to aid that does little to alleviate poverty in impoverished Haiti.

The report also finds that the biggest recipient of U.S. aid after the earthquake was Chemonics International Inc., a for-profit international development company based in Washington, D.C., that has more than 4,800 employees.

Aside from the World Bank and United Nations, Chemonics is the single largest recipient of USAID funds worldwide, having received more than $680 million in fiscal year 2012

alone. In Haiti, Chemonics has received more than the next three largest recipients since 2010, a total of $196 million, or 17 percent of the total amount.

In Haiti, Chemonics’ mandate has involved setting up a temporary structure for Parliament, renovation of public plazas and repair of the country’s main courthouse, as well as organizing televised debates for the 2011 presidential election.

Typically, major players such as Chemonics subcontract project work to smaller firms, some of them of them local.

USAID has awarded $27.8 million of the $1.15 billion to Haitian and Haitian-American firms since the

quake, according to the agency’s website.

The obstacles blocking Haitian businesses from the contracts are many. They’re often not competitive because they may not be able to get the financing they need from local banks.

Smaller fir ms also lack the resources to prepare costly, time-consuming applications, nor do they have the big companies’ track records in other parts of the world or the kinds of connections that help open the right doors.

The report said subcontract information should be made available and called for increasing direct contracts for Haitian entities.

MOSCOW (AP) — A key investor in Russia’s 2014 Winter Olympics is lobbying the government to offer tax rebates for the companies operating in Sochi to help offset the rising costs of the games.

Estimates for the Sochi Olympics and the related development of the host region in southern Russia have reached almost $50 billion, making it the most expensive Olympic games ever, winter or summer. In contrast, the 2012 Summer Olympics in London cost about $14.3 billion.

Staging the games and building venues in the past has been funded by governments and sponsors, but Russian state-owned companies and oligarchs are paying for much of the 2014 infrastructure in Sochi.

Sergei Bachin, the director general of Roza Khutor, which is building a ski resort, a snowboard and freestyle park and one of the three Olympic villages, said Wednesday that his company asked the government last month to create a special economic zone in the Sochi area.

Roza Khutor is owned by Interros, an investment vehicle of tycoon Vladimir Potanin, which is spending about $2.2 billion on Olympic projects in Sochi.

Bachin said in an interview with The Associated Press that the tax rebates would allow their resort to be “operationally sound” and help them repay loans to the state-owned VEB bank more quickly.

Bachin’s petition follows those of others investors who have complained about construction costs that they had not been informed of when they first signed up to the Olympic project.

The Interfax news agency on Tuesday reported that investors in the Olympic project — including Sberbank, the energy company Gazprom, the industrial conglomerate Interros and the holding company Basic Element — had asked the government for help.

Sberbank and Gazprom were not available for comment Wednesday. A Basic Element spokesman could not immediately confirm that the company had signed that letter.

Basic Element, a holding company of billionaire Oleg Deripaska, has been public about expecting the Russian government to cover some of its losses in Sochi.

Volunteers make Alaskan prom special for students Volunteer hair stylist Khit Sypakanphay, right, fixes the hair of Mount Edgecumbe High School student Kaitlyn Love March 30, in Sitka, Alaska, before her prom.

SITKA, Alaska (AP) — For girls, proms are all about the dresses. Kayla Wolfe just never imagined what it would take to pick one.

First, there was what felt like a million questions.

“What kind of dress was I looking for? What size am I? What kind of color? Long or short?” said the 15-year-old freshman at Mount Edgecumbe High School, a staterun boarding school in Sitka, Alaska.

Her answers gave her passage into a room stocked full of dresses — a bounty that Kayla, or most students, in rural Alaska have never seen.

The dresses were brought to the school by the Seattlebased Prom Princess program, which brings the prom experience to Mount Edgecumbe, where many students don’t have the resources or the help from their far-off families to get party dresses, tuxedos and makeup for their big night.

“All of these people are here helping them (the students) out and doing all this stuff, and suddenly they realize they’re a lot more important than they ever thought they were,” said Ivy Lanthier, project director for the school’s dorms. “That’s the big thing.”

In its fifth year of helping students at the school, the program arranges for donations of the dresses, discounted tuxes, and hair and makeup artists.

Mount Edgecumbe, which sits in the shadow of a dormant volcano, is the only state-run boarding school in Alaska. It has nearly 400 students, and about 80 percent this year are Alaska Native. Many, like Kayla, hail from small communities well off the state’s limited road system.

Many schools in these rural villages don’t have proms, and ones that do aren’t at Mount Edgecumbe’s level.

Program founder Terri Bogren said she and other volunteers, mainly her coworkers at the Seattlebased Alaska Airlines, are proud of the teenagers for leaving their families and villages to get a better education, and this is a way to show their admiration.

“They don’t have the family support to help them do this. So we’re kind of like fairy godmothers here to help them make sure they can look as good as they want to go to their prom,” she said.

Bogren got the idea for the program when she lived in Sitka and helped a niece, who was attending the school, get ready for the prom. That’s when she realized other girls weren’t going to the dance because they didn’t have a dress.

Bogren moved to Seattle after she got a job as an account specialist with the airline, which had just celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2007. She decided to see if anyone would be willing to donate her party dress from the anniversary ball for the girls at Mount Edgecumbe.

“I know lots of people buy expensive dresses and only wear them once,” she said.

Meat industry to reboot labels to help consumers

“So I figured this would be a good opportunity to ask for donations.”

That first year, 30 dresses were donated. That number has increased to about 130 this year, and the girls get to keep the frocks they pick.

The main booster for the program, Bogren solicits donations while talking to people on airplanes, in airports, at work. The program has a signature identifier: During the prom, all the volunteers wear tiaras, but Bogren sports one throughout the year to attract attention to her program.

The number of volunteers also has grown, from Bogren and five others the first year to about 40 this year. The volunteers are Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air employees, and their family and friends from across the Pacific Northwest. The volunteers include professional hairdressers, nail artists, even a master tailor.

Last Saturday, they gave the girls up-dos, fancy nails, took prom photos and made flower decorations.

Like many students,

sophomore Jessica Mute was appreciative for the help. She spent the day primping for the all-school prom, but also found time to make her boyfriend a boutonniere. Mute said it was especially nice since the boarding students “have no parents or moms” there to help them.

For many, Saturday’s prom was the first time they have dressed formally for a dance, had clothes altered, had their nails and hair done, got tanning, even wore jewelry. “It’s something that many of them have seen on TV,” Lanthier said. “They know other people do it, and now they’re doing it.”

Kellie Oester, a Portland, Ore.-based flight attendant who was in Sitka for the second year, said the freshman girls “touched my heart.”

“I have a daughter that is 17. I think, ‘Oh, it would be hard for her to be away from home.’ So I think they kind of get the nurturing from us,” said Oester, who described her duty as “glam fairy,” spraying girls with glitter.

Don’t know your pork butts from your rump roasts? It may be getting a little easier.

The American meat industry is rolling out a refresh of the often confusing 40year -old system used for naming the various cuts of beef, pork, lamb and veal. That’s because the system — the Uniform Retail Meat Identification Standards, or URMIS — was designed more for the needs of retailers and butchers than for the convenience of harried shoppers more familiar with Shake ‘n Bake than boneless shank cuts.

The bottom line is that meat counter confusion isn’t good for sales. So after nearly two years of consumer research, the National Pork Board, the Beef Checkoff Program and federal agriculture of ficials have signed of f on an updated labeling system that should hit stores just in time for prime grilling season.

In all, more than 350 cuts of pork and beef (veal and lamb updates are coming later) will sport the new labels, which will include not only simplified names, but also detailed characteristics of the meat and cooking guidelines. So what once was called pork butt — and actually does not come from the pig’s nether region — will now be called a Boston roast and be described as a bone-in pork shoulder.

“The problem is consumers didn’t really understand the names that were being used, and still don’t,” said Patrick Fleming, director of retail marketing for the Pork Board. “The names confused consumers to the point where they’d go, ‘You know, the information doesn’t help me know how to use it, so I’m going to stop using it.’ That was a wake-up call for both the beef industry and pork industry.”

NYC fish trade takes place in the dead of the night

NEW YORK (AP) — Think Wall Street trading is brutal?

Head up to the grittiest part of the South Bronx, where cutthroat deals are made in the dead of night on a massive concrete floor that reeks of fish guts.

The New Fulton Fish Market is the nation’s largest seafood market, and second in the world to Tokyo’s. Here, in a refrigerated building the size of six football fields, fishmongers are frenetically filleting, selling and packaging seafood — 200 million pounds a year worth close to $1 billion by some estimates. It is headed for restaurant tables, stores and mouths across America.

Glistening under the fluorescent lights is just about every sea creature. Most come in by truck, but about half are flown in from the ends of the Earth: Arctic char from Iceland; mahi-mahi from Ecuador; hamachi from Japan; branzino from Greece; salmon from Scotland; cockles from New Zealand.

Experienced buyers negotiate prices in seconds, judging quality on a look, a touch, a smell and often a raw taste.

“You know right away if fish is fresh. It’s like looking into a woman’s eyes — you know what’s there,” says Roberto Nunez, a 44-year-old Peruvian immigrant who started out as a dishwasher and has been the buyer for more than a decade for celebrity restaurateurs Lidia Bastianich, her son, Joe Bastianich, and their partner, Mario Batali.

Five nights a week, Nunez shows up at 1 a.m. to purchase as much as $15,000 worth of seafood, enough to meet the demands of 10 restaurants. What’s available on any given night depends on a variety of often unpredictable factors, such as severe weather that keeps fishing fleets in port or a spotty catch in an overfished ocean.

“This is not like ordering tomatoes or potatoes,” Nunez says. “Seafood is wild.”

By 2:30 a.m., one of the key items on his handwritten list of orders — 400 pounds of striped bass — remains unfilled from among dozens of vendors.

“I’m getting nervous,” he says.

The day’s hundreds of offerings — including crabs, clams, mussels, slimy squid, octopus and caviar — are spread out across the floor in ice-lined boxes, a shimmering spectrum of silvers, pinks, reds and browns. Buyers, some vying for the same, scarce items, point to a specific box and cry out, “That’s mine!”

All night, dozens of men in coats and wool caps work to the soundtrack of mini-forklifts whizzing around, honking and spewing exhaust as they move seafood-laden pallets.

The smell is a mixture of the fishy and the fresh scent of the ocean.

Nunez finally spots some striped bass. But when he lifts the gills, “it’s no good; they’re brown,” he says dejectedly.

(The gills should be bright red). Plus the skin is dry, the eyes are cloudy, and it smells funky.

The hunt continues for the rest of his list: scallops, shrimp, squid, monkfish liver, fluke, shad roe, blowfish.

He spies black sea bass from New Jersey at $6.75 a pound. “How many do you have?”

“One hundred pounds,” says vendor John Dias.

“How about $5.50?” Nunez asks.

Dias relents.

Nunez later nabs red snapper from the Gulf of Mexico.

He feels the fish, smells his fingers. It’s fresh. OK, 60 pounds.

At another stall, he pops a raw Nantucket Bay scallop in his mouth, smiling. It’s $20.50 a pound compared to a normal price of, say, $16. But these are extraordinary, and fresh — “like a baby’s bottom” to the touch.

Just before 3 a.m., a vendor whispers in Nunez’s ear: Some striped bass might be on the way — maybe.

He waits around for a while, and sure enough, a box lid opens to reveal eight bass from Delaware, weighing 121 pounds. Now, where to find at least 180 pounds more?

He rushes off, scouring the cavernous market. And he gets lucky, landing 100 pounds.

Not far away, Peter Panteleakis, who owns two Greek restaurants in Fair Lawn, N.J., is on a hunt of his own for the freshest seafood he can find, such as the sea scallops that still move when poked and a 21-pound piece of local halibut that a vendor slices open to reveal clean, rosy flesh.

The 66-year-old immigrant from a village near Sparta, Greece, who comes by four nights a week with his son, first set foot in the old open-air Fulton fish market in lower Manhattan more than 30 years ago. It was replaced in 2005 by the state-of-the-art South Bronx facility that’s open six nights a week.

Learning from his father, Nick Panteleakis quotes a sign on the market wall: “Good fish ain’t cheap, and cheap fish ain’t good.”

When huge pieces of tuna or swordfish worth thousands of dollars come in, men carrying metal hooks and razor-sharp knives leap into action, splitting them into smaller chunks, sweating even in the regulated temperature of about 39 degrees.

At about 5 a.m., bartering slows as the sun peeks over the East River. Blood-stained gloves rest atop the counters. The forklifts are buzzing around, loading 18-wheelers outside with goods that will be trucked all over the Northeast.

What litters the floor — heads, guts and other parts — is scooped up and sold off as well, to make fertilizer, pet food, glue.

As the city awakens and New Yorkers prepare for work, the exhausted fishmongers trickle out of the South Bronx facility to the surrounding Hunt’s Point neighborhood of warehouses, truck depots, all-night bars and strip clubs.

They will be back at night to do it all over again.
