BEWARE THE BULLDOGS OF MARCH WASHINGTON (AP) — With plenty of help from Pittsburgh, Butler found another way to pull off a stunning upset in the NCAA tournament.

Matt Howard made one free throw with 0.8 seconds left to cap a wild final sequence, and Butler shocked the top-seeded Panthers 7170 Saturday night to advance to the round of 16.

Each team had a chance to win it from the foul line in the last 2 seconds. After Butler’s Shelvin Mack inexplicably fouled Gilbert Brown near midcourt with 1.4 seconds left, Brown made the first try to tie it.

SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez wrapped up her first legislative session Saturday, feeling grateful that she was able to make good on at least some of her campaign promises to trim state spending, crack down on criminals and start reforming New Mexico’s education system.

The Democratic-controlled Legislature handed the Republican executive some key victories in the waning hours of the 60day session as they worked through a flurry of bills. Consensus was reached on a measure that allows for grades from A to F to be assigned to New Mexico’s public schools based on student performance, as well as on a bill to expand DNA testing to any felony arrestees.

Absent though was agreement on a package that would have financed $240 million in capital improvements, including millions of dollars for Native American water rights settlements, state highway improvements and projects at colleges and universities.

Legislation that also languished included bills increasing penalties for public officials convicted of corruption, ending social promotion in grade schools and reversing course on See MARTINEZ, Page A3

hafi lives to protect against attacks.

The strikes, which were aimed at enforcing a U.N.mandated no-fly zone, were a sharp escalation in the international effort to stop Gadhafi after weeks of pleading by the rebels who have seen early gains reversed as the regime unleashed the full force of its superior air power and weaponry.

Gadhafi, who has ruled Libya for 41 years, said in a telephone call to Libyan state TV that he was opening weapons depots to See LIBYA, Page A3

The Take the First Step fundraiser and kick-off event for the second annual Walk for Hope was held in downtown Roswell, Saturday.

“We’re trying to get people excited about the things that we are going to be doing,” Julie Morrow, Walk for Hope chairwoman, said.

“We need more sponsors and we’re looking for cancer survivors to sign up for the event, so that we can honor

them.”

Fundraising items sold included baked goods, hope wings, jewelry, T-shirts and luminarias, which will be lighted at a candlelight vigil during the Walk for Hope.

Committee members for the Walk were also on hand, signing up walk teams for the May 13 event.

Morrow said that 1,200 people participated in last year’s Walk, which raised $20,000. She hopes to add to last year’s success.

Squirrels are smart, sometimes a nuisance, and a protected species

Adopt-A-Soldier welcomes Sgt. Gabriel Herrera home

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JESSICA PALMER

Few people spare a thought for the lowly squirrel. Fewer still realize that the squirrel is a protected species.

“State protected means that the state regulates them,” said Tish Mee of New Mexico Fish and Game in Santa Fe. People cannot hunt them without the appropriate license and two species, Abert’s (or tasseleared squirrel) and the red squirrel have a specific hunting season.

Roswell’s arboreal, or tree, squirrel is the Sherman fox squirrel. Some subspecies of the fox squirrel in Florida and the Carolinas are considered endangered.

Squirrels are rated to be among the most intelligent of all mammals —

Animal Planet placed it in the top 10 — which is one reason why man has been unable to develop a truly squirrel-proof bird feeder.

“We never encourage people to hunt females of any species,” said Mee. Mee’s department regulates the care of sick and injured wildlife of all kinds.

March is the birthing season for the fox squirrel. “You may think the squirrel climbing that wall is something to shoot at, but it has babies somewhere that depend their mother to keep them alive. If you kill her, her

babies will starve,” Mee said.

Often people will find the babies and that’s where Mee may become involved in the act. “You can’t keep them. Only people who have been

trained and per mitted know how to take care of them.”

She pointed out that wildlife rehabilitators are all volunteers and receive no funding from the state.

She believes that the biggest help people can give to this overworked group is to leave mothers in peace and allow them to raise their young undisturbed.

People need to remember each squirrel lying on the road at this time of year may have a litter.

Wildlife rehabilitators recommend people check the adjacent trees to see if

Adopt-A-Soldier held a welcome home party for Sgt. Gabriel Herrera, Wednesday evening, at Peter Piper Pan Pizza.

Herrera retur ned to Roswell on Feb. 2 after his second tour of duty in the Middle East.

He did his first 15month stint in Iraq.

Herrera spent this second tour in Afghanistan at the combat outpost of Bowritanah, where his company, Alpha Company, 3STB, 3 BCT of the 101st Airborne Division, came under some indirect fire.

“We started locking down and we did get targeted four times with 107 Chinese rockets, but we didn’t get hit,” he said.

Nicole Sena-Vargas of Adopt-A-Soldier discussed the packages that were sent to the soldiers overseas and noted that the program has sent 750,000 pounds of packages to the troops.

The packages to soldiers usually contain baby wipes, beef jerky, socks, bore snake cleaners for their rifles, candy and cookies, and may

there are young scrabbling around looking for their mother. If a person finds a baby, but doesn’t see the mother, then its best to leave it alone. The mother will find it and carry it back to the nest.

However, if the mother’s body lies nearby, then go on line to find the nearest permitted wildlife rehabilitator, or contact Animal Control at 6246722.

Squirrels will surprise drivers because they tend to do a sudden about-face when confronted with a car. This is an instinctive survival skill to run a zigzag course to avoid a predator, a behavior that has not adjusted to the concept of a car.

The same mechanism is at work when a squirrel runs a circular course around a tree. The squirrel is trying to stay out of visual sighting.

When driving, slow down. Be prepared, particularly at this time of year when mother is intent on retur ning to feed her young.

Mee acknowledges that squirrels can become a nuisance. “They dig in attics and chew on wires.”

She even admits she’s had problems with them in the past. “Then we trapped them and relocated them.”

She recommends people hire a professional for trapping. “It is a specialized skill.”

The Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell Community College Board voted to approve a new board member earlier in the week.

Sharon Lombardi was approved on March 15 after the recent school board election left the District 5 seat vacant when no one threw their hat in the ring.

“We are delighted to welcome Sharon to our board,” stated Eloise Blake, Community College Board president, in a press release.

“Sharon’s prior work experience at ENMU-Roswell, combined with her diverse background and involvement in local and regional organizations, will be an asset to our board. We look forward to working with her as we guide ENMU-Roswell

He said the international action against his forces was unjustified, calling it “simply a colonial crusader aggression that may ignite another large-scale crusader war.”

the state’s practice of issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

Martinez vowed to continue pushing the initiatives and blamed their failure on politics in the Senate.

Martinez herself was accused of playing politics during the session, a charge she flatly denied.

Lawmakers acknowledged that many bills never made it to the House or Senate floor after getting caught in the committee process. They said part of the reason stemmed from a change in the dynamics at the state Capitol with a new conservative governor in control and more Republicans in both chambers.

Martinez wasn’t shy about pressing her agenda through a series of radio advertisements and other pleas to voters that resulted in a flood of calls and

rebellion that began Feb. 15. Then the government attacks appeared to go silent.

Operation Odyssey Dawn, as the coalition operation has been dubbed, followed an emergency summit in Paris during which the 22 leaders and top officials agreed to do everything necessary to make Gadhafi respect a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday calling for the no-fly zone and demanding a cease-fire, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said.

Navy Vice Adm. William emails to legislators. Her staff also videotaped legislative proceedings on issues that the administration advocated, such as ending licenses for illegal immigrants.

“The governor told everybody what she wanted. We knew what the priorities were,” said Rep. Larry Larranaga, R-Albuquerque.

“We got some of the reforms she wanted ... but being a gover nor who’s on the minority side, the majority always has to test that person to find out what kind of backbone she has.”

Despite the bipartisan denials, Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, said election-year politics pervaded much of the session.

The votes of legislators on hot-button issues probably will become campaign fodder during the 2012 election, when all 112 state representatives and senators are up for election.

“With the filming stuff going on, it’s not discreet.

It’s very obvious. That’s

E. Gortney, director of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, told reporters in Washington that U.S. ships and a British submarine had launched the first phase of a missile assault on Libyan air defenses to clear the way for the imposition of a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone over the North African country.

Gortney said the mission has two goals: prevent further attacks by Libyan forces on rebels and other civilians, and degrade the Libyan military’s ability to contest a no-fly zone.

The rebels said earlier that they had hoped for more, sooner from the international community, after a day when crashing shells shook the buildings of Benghazi and Gadhafi’s tanks rumbled through the university campus.

Libyan state television also showed Gadhafi supporters converging on the international airport and a military garrison in Tripoli, and the airport in Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte, in an apparent attempt to deter bombing.

In an open letter, Gadhafi war ned, “You will

probably the most politics I’ve observed taking place during a session that I’ve been cognizant of,” said Smith, who was one of two Democrats who backed the gover nor’s immigrantlicense proposal.

Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, said it was a productive session and that Senate Democrats were more unified because there was a Republican governor.

“The Democrats, in my opinion, stood up for what they believed in, and I’m really proud of our Democrats,” he said.

Martinez didn’t back down either, and claimed three large victories: •A locomotive fuel tax deduction targeted to the Union Pacific Railroad, which plans to spend more than $400 million for a rail yard project in Santa Teresa. The project was expected to result in more than 600 permanent jobs.

•School grading based on standardized tests taken by

students, the growth of student per for mance in reading and mathematics, and other factors such as high school graduation rate. Supporters contend the measure will make schools more accountable and help parents understand where their child’s school can make improvements.

•Expansion of “Katie’s Law,” named in memory of Kathryn Sepich, a New Mexico State University student who was raped and murdered in 2003. Sepich’s killer was identified more than three years later with DNA evidence after he was convicted of another crime.

Under a compromise worked out late Friday, a DNA sample would be taken upon booking and remain unanalyzed until probable cause is established or the defendant fails to appear in court.

Several of the governor’s other initiatives failed to be revived in the final hours of the session. Those included

“We’ve gotten a lot of sponsors, teams signed, and cancer survivors, but there are still many, many more to come,” she said.

Funds raised from both events will be given to local cancer patients through Chaves County Cancer Funds. According to Morrow, funds will help patients with everyday expenses that often add up after they’ve paid for the cost of medical treatment.

“They need money for gas, travel, utilities,” she said.

Morrow said the Walk of Hope committee is also helping feed cancer survivors through its food voucher program with Farmers Country Market.

“We look at the holistic approach,” she said. “If they don’t have good nutrition, they’re not going to get well.

We look at all of the different aspects that they need, because there are lots of other areas that usually get neglected when they’ve spent all of their money on medicine or medical bills.”

The Senate also failed to confirm four of Martinez’s cabinet appointments: Hanna Skandera, Public Education Department; Jon Barela, Economic Development Department; John Bemis, Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department; and Retta Ward, Aging and Long-term Services Department.

The governor also said she planned to veto a tax increase on employers that is aimed at shoring up the state’s unemployment compensation program. The unemployment fund is projected to run out of money by next March without any changes, but Martinez believes the state has time to change the environment in New Mexico to bring in more jobs and reduce the number of people drawing benefits from the fund.

OPINION

Roswell Daily Record

Our Legislature looks good compared to Arizona’s

PHOENIX — If you’ve ever had misgivings about the New Mexico Legislature, here’s a look at the Arizona Legislature that might make you feel better.

Arizona is a little over halfway through its legislative session — maybe. If they don’t finish in time, they just keep going or they start calling special sessions. As in New Mexico, the budget hasn’t been discussed much. It’s just a matter of lining up the votes behind the scenes and getting it passed.

The budget is important, of course, but other matters are even more important — such as which federal laws to follow and which to ignore. Such a measure has passed the Arizona Senate and is being considered by the House. The bill would establish a Joint Committee on Nullification of Federal Laws to recommend which statutes, mandates and executive orders the state wants to not recognize.

JAY MILLER INSIDE THE CAPITOL

Another approach to skirting federal law is to enter into compacts with other states on controversial issues. Interstate compacts do exist in the areas of water regulation, waste disposal and power use. The compacts require federal approval, which has been granted in more than 200 instances but not in situations such as immigration and health care, which are Arizona’s biggest concerns.

And while Arizona searches for ways to exert its state sovereignty over the federal government, it also looks for ways to take all power possible from local govern-

ments. I have just been perusing a weekly report from the Arizona League of Cities and Towns.

Almost all its legislative priorities involve fighting off efforts by the Legislature to take away local powers. In contrast, reports from the New Mexico Municipal League are filled with proactive initiatives.

Some of those state mandates to local governments include a bill to require higher education institutions to allow guns on campus. The bill has passed the state Senate. Another measure would allow guns in public establishments and events, including ball games. It also has passed the Senate.

The Arizona Senate is making quite a name for itself. It also has passed a bill to make the Colt Single Action Revolver the official state gun. The bill was pushed hard by Colt lobbyists. It would make Arizona the first state with an official gun and possibly the

first state to award a commercial enterprise official recognition.

Also passing the Arizona Senate is a bill proposing to create an official state tea party license plate. Arizona has more than 80 state license plates to benefit charities. This would be the first plate to benefit an organization other than a charity.

The Arizona Senate is making a name for itself in the game of creative lawmaking. These bills still have to pass the House and be signed by the governor but since all of them are controlled by the same party, there is a chance some of them may become law.

The impetus for much of this creativity comes from Senate President Russell Pearce, a Mesa Republican. In Arizona, the Senate president is not the lieutenant governor. Arizona doesn’t have such an office. The Senate president has all the powers of a House speaker.

Sen. Pearce rules with an iron hand and sometimes is referred to as Gov. Pearce. He has, at least temporarily, saved the political life of Scott Bundgaard, the majority leader of the state Senate. Bundgaard and his girlfriend got in a fist fight on the side of a downtown Phoenix freeway. The police arrived to find that both of them had landed some good punches.

The girlfriend was arrested and taken to jail. Bundgaard invoked legislative immunity and went home. Many of his fellow lawmakers called for his ouster, at least as majority leader. A majority of Senate Republicans were said to want him to step down as their floor leader. But after a caucus presided over by Pearce, Bundgaard retained his leadership position, at least for now.

EDITORIAL

Census

For 10 years our city waited for its next chance to join the ranks of other communities which have achieved population counts above 50,000. Last week we learned we fell just short and the disappointment was universal. However, we can’t afford to let this setback dim our hopes for the future.

On Tuesday, numbers for New Mexico cities were announced and we learned Roswell’s official count was 48,366. That’s 1,634 short of the 50,000 needed to be classified a metropolitan statistical area.

Why is that designation important?

With the metropolitan statistical area status comes a number of benefits. The first of which is the availability of more government funds for the city. The city would be able to automatically collect money it now has to compete for against other cities. It would be eligible for addition federal funding.

The designation would also have put Roswell on the map for a lot of companies looking to expand or relocate into new areas but which don’t want to consider cities of less than 50,000 people. That translates into more goods and services for residents as well as more jobs for people looking for work.

Unfortunately for Roswell, the designation of a metropolitan statistical area based on the population inside city limits is pass or fail. There’s no “close enough” clause. That means we have all the needs of a city of 50,000 —and just to put in our two cents, we believe there actually are that many people living here — but don’t get the associated benefits.

We are, however, not without recourse.

There are other methods and other designations which can be used to achieve the results associated with a population count of 50,000. The time to pursue these avenues is now. Already there are those who have given up hope and fallen into mourning for our city’s economic future.

We must not allow despair to infect our community. We are growing and we will continue to grow. Now is not the time to step back from the efforts to expand our community. We can ill afford to sit back and do nothing and only pick up the issue again right before the 2020 census.

For those who stepped up and took an active role to encourage their fellow residents to participate in the census, we offer our thanks. A great many community leaders gave of their time to push for an accurate census count and they should be applauded for those efforts. We hope many of them will continue their efforts as we explore other ways to attract new businesses and residents.

Let’s not view this as a defeat for our city, but as a challenge to be overcome.

Roswell is a great place to live and do business. We need to build on our ongoing success of promoting our All America community. We can’t afford to wait idly for the next census to arrive. We must act now and with all the resources available to us.

The cause of lichen sclerosus is unknown, but it is thought to be related to either a lack of sex hormones or an overactive immune system.

Areas of skin that had previous damage are more likely to be affected if you develop lichen sclerosus. The condition is not contagious, and it cannot be spread to others through sexual contact. Persistent cases may carry an increased risk of skin cancer, but this has not been definitively proved; however, it is still important to have followup examinations at least every year. More severe cases may require an exam every six months.

Untreated cases are at increased risk for complications. In women with genital

In those with blistering, it may become so severe that any pressure on the area becomes unbearable. In men with foreskin involvement, it can lead to tightening and thinning of the area, causing problems urinating and during erections.

Treatment depends on location. Many mild cases without involvement of the genitals or anus will disappear on their own. Other areas that require therapy may respond to corticosteroid ointments or creams typically used daily for several See GOTT, Page A5

and to a lesser extent Three Mile Island. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has significantly tightened standards since those incidents, but no regulation or safety precaution can offer a 100 percent guarantee against an accident or natural disaster.

Politicians tend to overreact to such things and stoke public fear. The otherwise cautious and principled German Chancellor Angela Merkel quickly announced plans to shut down seven of her country’s nuclear power plants pending a safety review.

What if it was not possible to be restored?

As we live our lives, we regularly face setbacks and from time to time get knocked flat onto our butts. I use this phrase figuratively, although it also happens to some of us literally from time to time.

What I am saying is that as we go from day to day, we have days that are good and days that are not so good. We even have days that are bad! There are times when we are flying high through an almost perfect day and then the phone rings and bad news grounds us quickly. There are days that we wake up feeling healthy, but before the day is through our head hurts and we are taking medication.

To live life is to live through a series of ups and downs. Hopefully the ups exceed the downs, but we must get up each day and journey through it to find out.

Years ago I was training for a marathon with a friend of mine on a Saturday morning run and he asked the question, “Have you ever wondered what life would be like if our bodies didn’t have the power to heal and everything that happened to our body throughout our lifetime remained with us until we died?” My first thought was “Where did this question come from?” But then he continued explaining, “What if every time you cut yourself, the cut stayed with you all of your years or if you received a bruise, it never went away?” He continued, “What would life be

like?”

I told him that to be candid with him, I had never had this thought before and I didn’t like thinking about the hypothetical he was presenting at this time. I thought back on all the bumps and bruises I received in my childhood and then those I have received during my adult years and I couldn’t imagine what I would look like today if my body didn’t have the power to heal. An interesting discussion followed, and it made me appreciate more that our bodies were created with the capacity to heal.

Because of events the last few months, I began thinking of this concept not on a physical level, but on an emotional level. On a recent trip to California, my father was telling me about a family in his church that lost their 42-year-old son to cancer and how it impacted their lives. I can’t image how hard it would be to be restored from this.

What if every “emotional scar” we receive in our lifetime remained with us until our death? What if

Islam and Christianity

Dear Editor: When I started looking at the Islamic religion I noticed a strange parallel with Christian churches. Islam has two sects, the Shia and the Sunni. Christian religions have two divisions, Catholic and Protestant.

The Shia and Sunni both believe in Muhammad, and the Koran and Allah.

The Catholics and Protestants both believe in Jesus, the Bible and God. The Shia say you can pray to God and use intercessors such as the imams. The Catholics say you can pray to God and use intercessors such as saints. The sunni say you should pray to God directly, using no imams as intercessors. The Protestants say you should pray to God directly with no saints as intercessors.

Shia and Sunni do not like each other and have a history of killing each other.

weeks with a reduction to a maintenance level of just once or twice in a like period to prevent recurrence. It is important to have regular monitoring because prolonged use of steroids can cause side effects.

If this approach fails to work, other options include prescription sex hormones, ultraviolet-light treatment (only for nongenital areas) and immune-modulating medications. Men with lichen sclerosus of the foreskin may benefit from circumcision.

we carried these mental hurts for the rest of our years? The times when we were scolded by our parents, when we broke up with our high school sweetheart, when we lost a job or were in a car accident ... what if each time we are yelled at, told off, or read the riot act it stuck to us deep inside and would never leave us? How would life be if the feeling we experience when we lose a loved one rattled around inside us until our dying day?

I guess my point is that traumatic things happen to us both physically and mentally, most of which are beyond our control. On a physical level, most physical setbacks we experience heal given enough time. On a mental level, whether it is the death of a close friend or family member or the ending of a relationship, our lives would be miserable if we had no power to conquer the emotional trauma that follows significantly depressing events.

You have heard the saying “Time heals.” This is generally used in an emotional context. Events that are gigantic mountains when they occur, become smaller as time passes and as they become more distant in the rear view mirror.

Pain, sorrow and grief can linger and should linger in certain circumstances. But after each night comes a new morning and the opportunity to start again. In the Bible at Psalms 30:5, we are told, “Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morn-

Shia and Sunni will kill members of their own sect if it’s for national interests. Catholics and Protestants will kill members of their own sect if it’s also for national interests.

So you see, people think Islam is hard to understand. It’s not really as hard as you think. All religions say they believe in God but when you examine them carefully you’ll see which ones really follow the God of Nationalism. They will compromise everything their religion is about for their country. They’ll kill members of their own religion if their government asks them to. Look at the war between Iran and Iraq. Look at the war between Japan and China. Look at the war between Germany and America.

I wonder why did those people even bother going to church?

As quickly as our physical bodies heal after a finger is cut or a knee is skinned, I sometimes think the opposite occurs with our mental setbacks.

God did give us the power to heal emotional traumas, but they are what tend to hold us back the most in our lives. Events happen that cause us to be angry at another who caused the injustice to happen to us. Events happen that cause us to be angry at God. We often get wrapped up in the “Why?” question, or worse yet, we get wrapped up in the “Why me?” question. Both are questions that are asked regularly of God. Oftentimes we don’t get the answer to this question any time soon, or even while we still walk this earth.

What I do know is if we are still breathing, there is more for us to do. What there is for us to do lies in the future, not the past.

Sometimes the best exercise for a down heart is to reach out and lift others up. Denial and grieving are necessary stages, but these are just stages. They must come to an end. Depression is also normal. We all experience it regularly, but sometimes what we need when we are down is stop the “self-pity” party and to get busy doing something for someone else in need.

Focusing outward on lifting up others removes the inner “why me?” condition.

After all is said and done, I like this quote by Whit Hobbs, “Suc-

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, a proponent of nuclear energy, told members of a House subcommittee on Tuesday that, “The American people should have full confidence that the United States has rigorous safety regulations in place to ensure that our nuclear power is generated safely and responsibly.” He faces off against nuclear energy opponents, including Rep. Ed Markey, DMass., who was recently quoted as saying, “We have to listen to what is happening in Japan and protect ourselves and our people.” Run for the hills!

The Houston Chronicle quoted Peter Cardillo, chief market economist for Avalon Partners, a brokerage house in New York: “It’s a situation where you sell (your stocks now), and you ask questions later,” thus indulging in selffulfilling prophecy as Japanese and American markets dipped.

The Obama administration continues to stonewall when it comes to exploring for new sources of oil in or near American territory.

My challenge to you is to experience life to its fullest. Life is complete with peaks and valleys. May we each have plenty of both. And may we not stay too long at either point of our journey. May we celebrate the peaks when we reach them. And may we recognize that valleys are for a season of our life, a season that we must move through for it to give rise to a new season.

I am thankful for the healing nature of both our physical body and our mental challenges. I am thankful that I can overcome hurdles that suddenly appear in front of me. And through it all I am thankful that I can get out of bed each day knowing there is something out there bigger than me that I can contribute to and make a difference in the lives of others.

summer vacation rush.) Too many politicians continue to oppose coal exploration, an American natural resource. Without advances in nuclear energy, the U.S. will continue to face not only the petroleum price equivalent of mood swings, but also deepen our dependency on foreign oil, a dependence that will ultimately lead to a host of domestic and international problems.

Cooler heads must prevail and conclusions avoided until a full assessment of the Japan disaster is known. Science cannot prevent earthquakes or tsunamis, but that does not keep people from wanting to live near the shore. Scientists and engineers have made great progress in addressing safety issues raised by Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, but again, nothing is foolproof or there would be no traffic accidents or airplane crashes. And we still drive and fly, don’t we?

We need clean energy that can be developed on our own territory. Nuclear power, in conjunction with the discovery of more oil and the use of coal, natural gas, bio fuels, wind and solar power, offers the best option for the foreseeable future.

Dear Editor: We live in an amazing community! For many years, most of us have heard about Leadership Roswell sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and this year, I am grateful to be in the 2011 class. For those of you who have lived here all your life, and for those of you who are new to this community, there is so much that can be learned through the Leadership Roswell class about our community. I believe it has impacted our lives greatly and believe the experiences shared by our 2011 class in Leadership Roswell will impact our community for years to come.

Recently, our class traveled to Santa Fe to meet with our legislators and hear from our governor and others about New Mexico and Roswell in particular. We, the members of the Bus Committee, were tasked to make the educational and knowledge-gathering trip fun. Without the community support we received, it would have been very difficult.

We would like to thank the following supporters for their investment in us and in our community.

Paycheck Fairness Act

Dear Editor: Again, let down by the mainstream media.

The Senate Republicans blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act from moving to the floor for a vote. The House passed the bill in 2009. The cloture vote was 58 yes, 41 no.

All Republicans voted no, plus Ben Nelson, Democrat from Nebraska.

The measure would have updated the Equal Pay Act of 1963 by closing loopholes, i.e. incentives to prevent pay discrimination and prohibiting retaliation against workers who inquire about employers’ wage practices.

It would have required employers to show that wage gaps are a result of factors other than gender.

Get this! Opponents, including Republicans and the Chamber of Commerce, have said that they are concerned the bill would lead to more employees filing suit, which would be costly for employers.

So much for caring about the welfare of the least of us.

Some ideas for lawmakers

Cowpokes

Roswell Daily Record

Dear Editor: To All Legislators: You’ve been asking for suggestions, here’s a few: Drunk drivers: A while back you gave in to lobbyists, and if I recall the numbers were insane. By your count a small increase (maybe a dime increase per drink) would generate millions! You’ve taxed smokers over and over, and yet they still smoke. Idiots that get drunk, drive and kill people won’t miss another dime for a drink! Raise the price of a six-pack by 50 cents, a bottle of booze by a dollar and they won’t stop buying. Sin tax, you bet! It’s a sin how many people die or are maimed by these jerks!

Use the money raised to build, staff and maintain centers throughout our communities to keep them where they belong, locked up for their complete time, not just a few days only to go out and do it again. Not only would you keep them off the streets, but you would create a lot of jobs with the building of facilities, hiring guards (minimum security), counselors and staff, but also make them do the time they deserve. That’s a lot of jobs for all communities. If they have jobs they could still work and return to the facilities after work to finish their time and stay sober. If they mess up then send them to prison to finish their time.

You seem to want to drug test welfare clients, well how about this: since people keep having more kids that we all have to pay for, make it mandatory that they be on birth control while receiving aid! We all need help once in a while but if you can’t afford the kids you have, quit having more! As long as you get aid don’t you think it would be wise not to have more?

Government spending: Just saw a report on TV about recharging stations for electric cars. How about all the wasted gas vehicles for city use be replaced with electric cars? Stop all the extra travel by workers, make them log their miles to justify their travel? Video conferencing instead of driving all over the state?

Push for repeal of illegals driver’s license: It’s just another way for them to fly under the radar and get away with doing things rather than the right way to gain citizenship. How many don’t have insurance, thereby driving our rates higher?

Aren’t parents legally responsible for minor children?

Draft a law that makes them responsible for their kids’ actions financially. If their kids steal, graffiti a building, cause damage or whatever, make the parents liable for damages. If you hit them in the pocketbook maybe they will pay attention to their kids and watch the crime rate go down. A judge back east years ago would go to the offender’s home and have the victim take back (of equal value) items they lost in a robbery! The punks didn’t like it much, but what good is it if they only get a suspended sentence, short time or a fine and the victim is still without their property? Daddy won’t like it if his TV is gone, or his car is stolen. Maybe then they will make sure their kid isn’t out there doing wrong.

Finally, if your child can’t read or write or do math, don’t pass them on to the next grade, they need to learn early or else repeat it until they do. It may be hard now, but if not now, when? Think!

Walk help appreciated

Dear Editor: As one of the coordinators for the Black History Month Health Walk, held Saturday, Feb. 26, I want to thank the community for its help and participation in making the walk a reality. Sponsorship by the city of Roswell Parks and Recreation green-lighted businesses to donate.

Consequently, Albertson’s Food Center, Farmers Country Market East and West, and Lawrence Brothers IGA all contributed healthful food items like oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, water and nutrition bars. Eastern New Mexico Medical Center gave us sturdy, plastic bags which held those items, while Pioneer Bank pledged a $50 donation. Our event was broadcast through interviews with Roswell Radio staff, included in community calendars and published in the Roswell Daily Record. We hustled in the short time we had to pull it off. And the young and old walked on that beautiful, God-blessed Saturday! It wasn’t a huge crowd, but adequate for a first-time event of its nature.

Why the walk? My intent was to bring awareness that health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other maladies exist in the black community at higher rates than other ethnic groups, and that Black History Month was an opportune time to address them. The Centers for Disease Control found from 2005-2008 obesity rates at 51 percent in black women 20 years and older and 37 percent in black men in the same age group. For white women and men the percentage was 33 percent for both; Mexican Americans had rates of 43 percent for women and 31 percent for men.

From 2003-2006 black folks reported higher rates in high blood pressure, which is a risk factor of obesity: 43 percent for women, 39 percent for men. For whites: 33 percent for women, 32 percent for men. For Mexican Americans: 20 percent for women and 17 percent for men. So, we can say all groups need to start taking steps to improve their health because the number one leading cause of death in this country is heart disease. Fortunately a representative from the Public Health Department distributed material for participants to take with them. The walk was open to anyone and intended to motivate people — be it through exercise, what they eat, how much they eat, etc.

This year’s theme for the the walk was Time to Start Steppin’. We took steps at short notice to bring this walk together. We plan this year to take bigger steps for next year’s walk. Again, I thank all the donors, the walkers and their supporters, Jonathan Entzminger with the Roswell Daily Record, and the volunteers who helped me. Most of all I thank my Lord God through His Son Jesus the Christ

for giving me what I needed to accomplish this goal.

Oil resources going unused

Dear Editor: Soon our gasoline will be $4 a gallon and maybe more.

The reason is that the present administration, in collusion with the environmentalists, is trying to force the public to use so-called “clean” alternative fuels rather than fossil fuels. It will take decades before any meaningful substitute for fossil fuels will be developed. We have the technology to extract, process and market this naturally occurring resource (oil) now.

As a recent column pointed out, oil production in the United States has fallen from 10 million barrels a day to 5 million, thanks to the policies of the Obama administration.

Contrary to what the environmentalists say, the United States is not running out of oil. Consider the following oil reserves which we know could produce 2.3 trillion barrels, sufficient to meet 300 years of demand at today’s level: The Bakken Fields of North and South Dakota and Montana could produce 200 billion barrels of oil. Value of $20 trillion.

The outer continental shelf, the off shore oil in the Atlantic, Pacific and the Gulf Coast. Value: $9 trillion.

ANWAR (3.13 square miles of barren wasteland in Alaska) has 10 billion barrels. Value: $1 trillion. It is only 160 miles from the North Slope Prudhoe Bay pipeline where it could be connected.

Tar Sands would produce 75 billion barrels of oil. Value: $7.5 trillion. (Canadian tar sands produce 2 million barrels a day.)

Oil shale is a massive area of potential production with an estimated l.5 trillion barrel potential. The technology now exists to develop this resource. Value: $150 trillion.

The combined value of these oil reserves exceeds $187 trillion.

There is no reason for our government to delay drilling permits except political bias. Their views on climate change are based on questionable science, at best, and are just another way for big government to control our lives and redistribute wealth, which is their real agenda. Meanwhile, we will pay dearly for gasoline and everything else, and enrich the OPEC countries. We send $400 billion overseas to unstable and unfriendly regimes. Why not support an industry which will create jobs and help the economy to recover? Also we levy heavy taxes on oil, which will only drive the price higher. It is too bad we have a government that pretends to have empathy for working people, but will throw them under the bus in favor of their political ideology.

The United States must begin now to open these areas for exploration and permit the construction of refineries and pipelines.

Michigan Supreme Court sides with rapper Dr. Dre

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit officials who were backstage at a concert featuring hip-hop stars Dr. Dre and Eminem had no right to privacy when they confronted organizers in a videotaped exchange that turned up in a DVD, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in a decision released Saturday.

The ruling dismisses a lawsuit against Dr. Dre, whose real

name is Andre Young, that was filed by City Councilman Gary Brown and other Detroit officials after the 2000 show.

Brown was a high-ranking police official at the time, and warned concert organizers that power would be turned off if they showed a sexually explicit video at the Joe Louis Arena.

The conversation was taped and later used in behind-the-

scenes tracks on a popular DVD highlighting the “Up in Smoke“ national concert tour that also featured rappers Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube.

Brown had argued that his privacy was violated by the video, but Dr. Dre’s lawyer Herschel Fink said there was no privacy when police were doing their job.

Fink said Saturday that the court’s decision was more narrow than he expected, with the ruling dealing only with the event instead of broader privacy issues, but “as I said in an e-mail to Dre, ’We’ll take it.’”

Brown said Saturday that he was disappointed but respects the court’s decision. He said he understood that the case hinged on his expectation of privacy, but he said he asked for a private discussion and to have the cameras turned off.

“I would think I would have my rights protected, but that’s not the way the court ruled,” he said.

The Supreme Court’s 6-1 decision overturns an appeals court ruling.

Taylor shot just 2 of 16 but came up with the biggest play of the game, swatting Pullen’s tying attempt in the final seconds with Wisconsin (25-8) up three. Josh Gasser then hit two free throws to seal it, sending the fourthseeded Badgers into the round of 16 for the fourth time since 2000.

Beware the Bulldogs of March

WASHINGTON (AP) — With plenty of help from Pittsburgh, Butler found another way to pull off a stunning upset in the NCAA tournament.

Matt Howard made one free throw with 0.8 seconds left to cap a wild final sequence, and Butler shocked the top-seeded Panthers 71-70 Saturday night to advance to the round of 16.

Each team had a chance to win it from the foul line in the last 2 seconds. After Butler’s Shelvin Mack inexplicably fouled Gilbert Brown near midcourt with 1.4 seconds left, Brown made the first try to tie it.

He missed the second, and Howard was fouled by Nasir Robinson while grabbing the rebound — a foul even more unnecessary than the one that preceded it.

Howard made the first shot, then intentionally banged the second attempt off the rim.

Brown finished with 24 points, but he will forever remember the missed free throw.

Goddard JV wins Hal Bogle RECORD STAFF REPORTS

Goddard JV coach Kenny Pittman said that when his team plays in varsity tournaments, he worries about the maturity of his team.

After the Rockets’ showing at the Hal Bogle Tournament, one thing Pittman doesn’t have to worry about is his team’s play on the diamond.

Goddard beat Dexter 18-4 in championship game on Saturday capping an impressive three-day showing.

The Rockets’ Devin Hubbard picked up the win and was also named the tournament’s MVP. Goddard (9-2) coach Kenny Pittman said that his team played like varsity players.

“We told them, ‘You have to play at a varsity maturity level,’” he said. “They did and we haven’t played one game that has gone over five innings. We are good and can play defense and hit.”

Taryn Nunez led Goddard with three hits, while Hubbard pitched in with two.

In addition to Hubbard, Tommy Perea and Josh Quiroz were named to the all tournament team.

Dexter (3-3) coach Archie Duran said that errors cost his team in the championship game.

“The kids had a great tournament,” he said. “It’s been a long time since we’ve been in the title game. Today, we made too many errors. I am not taking anything away from Goddard though, they have good athletes all the way around.”

NMMI 17, Mesilla Valley Chr. 16 DEXTER — NMMI overcame a five-run first inning deficit to beat Mesilla Valley Christian at the Hal Bogle Tournament on Saturday.

The Colts (2-3) fell behind 5-0 after the top of the first, but Harshul Ganjawala hit a grand slam in the home half of the first to cut the lead to 5-4.

In the second inning, NMMI put up nine runs to take a 13-8 lead and scored two more in the third to increase its lead to seven.

Mesilla Valley tied the game up in the fourth, but the Colts scored twice in the bottom of the fourth to regain the lead.

Richard Trujillo was credited with the win for NMMI and at the plate, he went 3 for 3 and drove in three runs.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — San Diego State couldn’t shoot straight most of the night and turned ball over at the worst of times.

Then, a final burst of magnificent athleticism allowed the Aztecs to survive and play again.

Billy White had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard sealed San Diego State’s exhausting, 71-64 double-overtime victory against Temple with a steal and a slam dunk in a third-round NCAA tournament thriller on Saturday.

“We were tired but we knew that we had to win this game,” Aztecs point guard D.J. Gay said after playing all 50 minutes. “We just wanted it a little bit more. We just sucked it up.”

White sank the go-ahead jumper and Leonard made two free throws as the second-seeded Aztecs (34-2) finally put away the pesky Owls (26-7).

San Diego State, never an NCAA tournament winner before this season, advanced to the West regional semifinals Thursday in Anaheim, Calif., against the winner of Saturday night’s Cincinnati-Connecticut matchup.

Chase Tapley matched his career best with four 3pointers — in five attempts — but it was the soaring ability of coach Steve Fisher’s team that finally made the difference.

“We’re good. We know we’re good,” Fisher said, “but you have to have a bit of good fortune. And I said to them after the game, we probably had a little bit of that tonight.”

Jimmer, BYU move on

DENVER (AP) — Look out Big Easy. Here comes The Jimmer.

Jimmer Fredette scored 34 points Saturday to lift third-seeded Brigham Young to an 89-67 victory over 11th-seeded Gonzaga and send the Cougars to New Orleans for the regional semifinals.

It will be BYU’s deepest trip in the NCAA tournament since 1981, the year Danny Ainge went coast to coast against Notre Dame for a last-second game-winner — a play that still holds a special place in BYU’s rich sports history.

Fredette has a few dozen of his own clips on that highlight reel with a chance to add some more next Thursday against Florida, a 73-65 winner over UCLA on the other side of the Southeast regional.

In this game, the hoop must have seemed as wide as the Mississippi for the nation’s leading scorer.

He shot 7 for 12 from 3-point range, and after having trouble getting shots over Gonzaga’s tough defense in the first half, he found his rhythm in the second.

He opened the half by pulling up from 5 feet beyond the upper-right part of the 3-point arc and swishing the shot. That triggered an 11-2 run that put BYU up 56-40.

Gonzaga pulled within eight, but with 8:58 left, Fredette made a shot from the exact same spot as part of a 12-0 run that expanded the lead to 20.

Game over, and the rest was simply a matter of seeSee BYU, Page B2

ing where No. 32’s scoring line would settle. He came up far short of the 52 points he scored earlier this month in the Mountain West Conference tournament against New Mexico, but had enough to bump that average up a couple notches, to 28.8.

As the game wound down, the winner long decided, BYU fans chanted “Sweet 16.” But then they came up with a more familiar refrain: “You got Jimmered!”

Or, to sum it up more succinctly — “We came, we saw, we Jimmered,” as one of the ubiquitous clever signs in the stands proclaimed.

But it wasn’t all Fredette.

He didn’t get his first shot off until almost three minutes into the game and did not score until the 11:33 mark, which had to seem like dog years for a team that grew even more dependent on its star earlier this month when leading rebounder Brandon Davies was suspended for violating the school’s honor code.

For the first time since then, BYU genuinely looked like it had some legitimate second options.

Jackson Emery had two

3-pointers, a layup and a steal during Fredette’s early scoring drought. He finished with 16 points. Noah Hartsock (13 points) hit three more 3-pointers to go with the pair he made in BYU’s opening 74-66 win against Wofford.

Who’d have thought that game would be closer than this one?

Even though they were seeded 11th, the Zags (2510) had the look of the kind of team, the kind of program, that could give a supposedly undermanned club such as BYU some problems.

This was Gonzaga’s 13th straight trip to the tournament, and unlike BYU, the Zags are frequent visitors to the regionals; they were going for their sixth trip since 1999.

They were long and quick, played good defense, had a veteran coach in Mark Few and came in on a 10-game winning streak.

They had some guys who could score. Elias Harris finished with 18 points on 8-for -12 shooting and Steven Gray also scored 18.

But they had no answer for Fredette, who drew some comparisons to a Gonzaga star of a few years ago, high-scoring Adam Morrison, who was also known as “The ’Stache.”

“We are excited and we found a way to win in this tournament,” he said. “Winning the consolation championship was nice.”

Valley Chr. 16, Lake Arthur 1 DEXTER — All nine Valley Christian players recorded at least one hit and four had multi-hit games as the Lions rolled past Lake Arthur in five innings in the seventh-place game of the Hal Bogle Tournament, Saturday.

“Absolutely, we needed it just for morale,” said Lion assistant coach Carl Dunlap about whether it felt good to get that first victory. “Against a regular-season district opponent, it was kind of good to send a little message out.

“Every time we play and practice, we’re going to get a little better. It’s going to come around for us.”

Valley (1-2) posted at least two runs in each of the first four innings, including five in the third and six in the fourth, en route to the victory.

Taylor Line, Logan Rader, Dominic Dunlap and Morgan Jones each went 2 for 4 at the dish. One of Rader’s hits was an RBI double and one of Jones’ hits was a bases-loaded, three-run double.

Kelly Richardson was 1 for 3 with two RBIs and Gus Gray went 1 for 1 with a walk and two hit-by-pitches.

Trinidad State JC 11-18, NMMI 3-3 TRINIDAD, Colo. — The NMMI Bronco baseball team dropped both ends of its doubleheader with Trinidad State Junior College, falling to 10-19 overall on the season.

Hector Salcido laid down a sacrifice squeeze bunt in the fourth that plated Tarango for the Panthers’ lone run.

“It came down to errors again,” said Panther coach Jose Cruz Porras. “You’re going to have errors, but when they’re at crucial times, it’s tough. That first inning, there were three errors.

“It comes down to basic fundamentals.

If you don’t hit the ball, you’re not going to get on base. If you don’t hit the ball, you’re not going to knock anybody in.”

Dexter 13, Ruidoso 11 RUIDOSO — Jenna Garcia hit a leadoff homer and picked up the win on the mound for Dexter as the Demons picked up their first win of the season on Saturday.

Garcia pitched all seven innings and struck out 11 and helped her own cause by collecting two hits and scoring twice.

Dexter coach Chanda Crandall said that as the game went on, Garcia got stronger.

“As the game went on, she got stronger,” she said. “She only walked one batter and that was the leadoff batter.

The defense backed her up, especially in the latter half of the game.”

Allen was the team’s only senior.

“Two days ago we had guys jumping around the locker room, being excited about getting to play again,” he said.

“Today, we have guys crying.”

As things grew so tense at the end, neither coach substituted.

Allen and Rahlir Jefferson each played all 50 minutes for Temple. Moore played 49.

“You just hope and trust in these guys that they’re just going to dig down deeper and however tired they are, they’re going to find some inner strength and some adrenaline they can call on,” Dunphy said.

The Aztecs, held to a season-low 18 second-half points as the patient Owls clawed back into it, had not played a double-overtime game in seven years. When they had the last shot at the end of regulation and the first overtime and failed to score, the loud throng that made the trek east on burgh reeled off seven straight points to go up 5348.

To no one’s surprise, Butler wouldn’t go away.

If Mack was nervous about playing the Big East regular-season champions, it wasn’t evident by his demeanor during the StarSpangled Banner: He yawned.

Once the game started, however, the junior guard played with intensity and poise. Mack scored 16 points in the first half, sinking four 3-pointers, and the Bulldogs committed only two turnovers in taking a 38-30 lead at the break.

Goddard posted a season-high 13 hits in the game, led by Alexis Fletcher’s 4for-4 performance.

Overall, we were pleased,” said Lawrence.

“The bats kind of came around a little bit.

We’ve still got a lot of work to do, but it was a good way to finish off the weekend.”

After a brief exhibition of its fast-break prowess gave San Diego State an 11-point first-half lead, the game slowed to the methodical pace so preferred by Temple. A series of missed shots at point-blank range — by both teams — and some untimely Aztecs turnovers transformed the game into one of those NCAA wild ones.

Fernandez scored 14 for the Owls but shot just 5 of 16 — including 1 of 10 INSIDE 3-point range. Wyatt also scored 14 and Allen had 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Thomas scored 14 for the Aztecs to help Fisher advance to a regional semifinal for the fifth time. The first four were with Michigan, the last in 1994.

Fisher needed a dozen years to bring San Diego State to national prominence.

“Doing what we’ve done, it makes everybody proud, myself included,” Fisher said. “But this is a team that, they don’t care about what happened 10 days ago much less 10 years ago.”

Reds beat Rockies 10-3

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Johnny Cueto had to cut a start short again.

For the second straight outing, the Reds’ starter walked off the mound with an injury.

He only lasted one inning Saturday in a Cincinnati split-squad’s 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.

“We don’t want to jump to any conclusions,” Dusty Baker said. “The fact that he felt it at all is why we stopped it. It’s not in the elbow or shoulder or any of that stuff. It’s more in the muscle.”

Cueto left his start against Texas on March 11 with tightness in his right forearm and biceps. He rested for two days before throwing a bullpen session with no pain.

Cueto, who is supposed to follow Edinson Volquez and Bronson Arroyo in the Reds’ rotation, signed a four-year deal in the offseason.

the knowledge that he was going to back up Paul Janish at shortstop.

“He can still play,” Baker said. “We were up front with him when he signed with us.

You need two shortstops on the team. He’ll play.”

Renteria signed because he likes the direction the Reds are headed.

“I want to be on a team that wants to compete,” Renteria said. “It is a great chance to get back to the playoffs.”

Maine also gave up a home run to Jeremy Hermida. Hermida is trying to win a roster spot after signing a minor league contract.

Maine allowed five runs — one earned — in three innings. Maine allowed four hits and walked two.

Maine had shoulder surgery in June and his command was a little off.

“It’s no excuse. I have to go out and pitch better,” Maine said. “I was too excited and too amped up. It’s been awhile since I was healthy. My pitches were up.”

James, Wade combine for 65, Heat top Denver 103-98

MIAMI (AP) — Mike Bibby came to Miami to provide veteran leadership. The Heat soon may be asking him for much more.

LeBron James scored 33 points, Dwyane Wade had 32 and Miami never trailed during a 103-98 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

Chris Bosh finished with his fifth straight double-double, 18 points and 11 rebounds.

But the Heat may have taken a significant hit when starting point guard Mario Chalmers was carried off the floor late in the first quarter with what was preliminarily diagnosed as a sprained right knee.

“Injuries have just figured out a way to bite us, seems at the wrong times,” James said. “And it happened again tonight.

Hopefully it’s not a huge thing.”

Bibby, the only other true point guard on Miami’s roster, scored 14, going 4 for 8 from 3-point range.

J.R. Smith had 27 points and Danilo Gallinari finished with 23 for Denver, which went 0-2 on their back-to-back swing through Florida after losing in Orlando on Friday night. Denver was without point guard Raymond Felton, who sprained his ankle in the final minute of that loss to the Magic and is not expected to play when the Nuggets host Toronto on Monday.

“I felt we were trying to search for our personality rather than knowing our personality,” Nuggets coach George Karl said.

“When you are playing a team and their best players are having great games, you are just searching for too many answers.”

Ty Lawson scored 16 points, Wilson Chandler finished with 12 and Nene scored 10 for the Nuggets, who also played much of Saturday without guard Arron Afflalo. He aggravated a left hamstring strain in the first half and did not return.

But Chalmers’ health concerns clearly seemed the most pressing.

“I think Mike fits right in,” Wade said.

“He’s a guy who’s great when he gets the ball ... a very good shooter and most importantly, he’s a veteran guy who’s very smart.

He’s going to be big for us in the playoffs.”

Chalmers was guarding Lawson on the right wing with about 1 minute left in the first quarter when he got hurt. Lawson tried to drive and Chalmers tumbled backward, appearing to favor his left leg. Chalmers tried to recover, then making contact with Lawson’s outstretched right leg as he made a jumper.

Chalmers, who has started 27 straight games since Jan. 22, went down, holding his right knee. He will be re-examined on Sunday.

James picked up where he left off in Atlanta on Friday night, shooting 6 for 8 in the opening quarter for 13 points and helping stake the Heat to a 29-21 lead. But by then, Denver was finding its groove, and actually got within one on a 3-pointer by Smith with 7:20 left until halftime — with Miami’s thoughts stuck on Chalmers.

“You just want to know,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “The unknown is probably worse than anything. And it was like getting hit in the face. But we gathered and I was glad to see our maturity from that point on. ... We continued to grind the game. It wasn’t

necessarily a pretty game going down the stretch, but we made enough plays.”

Former NFL wide receiver Drew Hill dies

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — Former NFL wide receiver Drew Hill, a two-time Pro Bowler who was a key part of the Houston Oilers’ famed “Run and Shoot” offense of the 1980s, died at an Atlanta hospital late Friday after suffering two massive strokes, according to his agent.

Piedmont Hospital spokesman Jim Taylor on Saturday confirmed the 54-yearold Hill’s death.

Hill fell ill on a golf course on Thursday and died late Friday after suffering the strokes, said his agent, Jay Mathis of Next Level Management.

A 12th round pick from Georgia Tech in 1979, Hill played for the Los Angeles Rams from 1979 to 1984, for the Oilers from 1985 to 1991, and for the Atlanta Falcons for the 1992 and 1993 seasons.

“I’m shocked,“ former Oilers quarterback Warren Moon told the Houston Chronicle. ”I can’t believe it. Drew meant so much to us as a player and as a person. I counted on him so much. He was the consummate professional. It’s just so sad.“ Hill had 634 receptions for 9,831 yards and 60 touchdowns, averaging 15.5 yards per catch, according to NFL.com. He was on Pro Bowl teams in 1998 and 1990 and played in one Super Bowl, Mathis said.

“Drew was a great receiver, one who knew the offense and was always in the right spot,“ said Moon, who led the highpowered Oilers offenses that relied on fourreceiver sets. ”I always knew exactly where Drew would be.”

“He was always cool under pressure,” Moon told the Chronicle.

Hill played 14 seasons in the NFL, and had 60 or more receptions during seven of eight seasons from 1985 to 1992. He also had three years with 70 or more catches and five with 1,000 yards, his management company said.

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak, the Hall of Famer who played on the offensive line with the Oilers (now the Titans) as Hill’s teammate, said in a statement that his former teammate had guts.

“I played with Drew for a number of years, and he was one of the toughest players I ever played with,“ Munchak said. ”He wasn’t a big guy, but he wasn’t afraid of anything and loved going over the middle making big catches for us. He was made for our run and shoot system. As a person, he was a quiet guy and a real pro.”

Kentucky, Florida punch tickets to Sweet 16

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s smallest player carried the team to its biggest win of the season.

Erving Walker, generously listed at 5 feet, 8 inches, scored 21 points and hit several clutch shots down the stretch as the Gators beat UCLA 73-65 in the NCAA tournament Saturday.

Walker scored 10 of Florida’s final 12 points, including four free throws in the final 33 seconds. His most significant basket was a 3pointer with just over a minute remaining. That shot gave the second-seeded Gators (28-7) a 69-65 lead and forced the No. 7 seed Bruins (23-11) into desperation mode.

UCLA wasted several chances from the free-throw line, much like it did Thursday against Michigan State.

The Bruins survived that one. They had no such luck against Florida, which advanced to the round of 16 in the Southeast region. The Gators will play either BYU or Gonzaga next week in New Orleans.

Kenny Boynton added 12 points and five assists for Florida. Alex Tyus chipped in eight points and a season-high 13 rebounds.

Josh Smith and Reeves Nelson led UCLA with 16 points apiece.

The Bruins kept it close throughout by pounding the boards and getting Florida in foul trouble.

But the Gators offset their problems inside with 50 percent shooting, six 3-pointers and Walker. The junior from New York City took over the game down the stretch.

Chandler Parsons got Florida’s late surge going.

The Southeastern Conference player of the year blocked Smith’s dunk attempt with a little more than 6 minutes to play.

Boynton then hit a 3pointer on the other end.

Parsons got the ball on the next possession and found Erik Murphy for a wideopen 3 that made it 61-55.

Tyler Honeycutt kept UCLA in it with a 3-pointer that made it 61-58 and another that made it 66-63.

But Honeycutt missed two 3s in the final minute. Walker delivered on the other end.

Boynton landed on Smith’s foot and injured his left leg, stayed on the court a few minutes, got helped to the locker room and eventually returned. But he was clearly hobbled. Coach Billy Donovan responded by putting the ball in Walker’s hands.

Walker drove into Smith’s 325-pound body and sank a how-did-that-go-in prayer off the glass. That put Florida ahead 63-58. Walker drained a free throw, and Vernon Macklin added a reverse layup.

Walker then hit that huge 3 with 1:14 on the clock.

Florida knocked UCLA out of the NCAA tournament for the third time in the last six years. The Gators beat the Bruins twice in the Final Four, sending them home in

the NCAA title game in 2006 and in the semifinals the following year.

UCLA got off to a slow start in the rematch, turning the ball over three times in its first three possessions.

But then Smith got going and so did the Bruins.

Smith pounded the Gators in the paint, scoring six points and pulling down four offensive rebounds in the early going. But then Smith picked up his second foul, and the Gators took advantage down low.

Patric Young and Erik Murphy, on the court in place of Macklin, combined for eight first-half points in the paint.

Thanks to the post presence, Florida shot a sizzling 56 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes. The Bruins offset that with nine offensive rebounds and 15 free-throw attempts.

UCLA had chances to tie or take the lead just before the half, but Anthony Stover failed to convert the free throw on a three-point play.

Teammate Tyler Lamb got the rebound and Lamb was fouled a few seconds later, but he missed two more from the line.

Kentucky 71, West Virginia 63 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — It’s not taking Brandon Knight long to build an impressive resume in the NCAA tournament.

A game-winning shot in the closing seconds of his debut. A career -best 30 points in his next game, helping Kentucky back into the round of 16.

Less than 48 hours after his only basket helped the fourth-seeded Wildcats survive their tourney opener against Princeton, Knight led an 11-0 run coming out of halftime and made six free throws in the final minute to close out a victory over fifth-seeded West Virginia.

Not bad for a freshman who’s coping with the pressure that comes with playing in the NCAAs, while also carrying the hopes of one of college basketball’s most storied programs on his shoulders.

“Definitely for me I feel a lot more anxiety, especially coming into today’s game, not playing so well (Thursday). But just playing these type of games where you know if you lose your season is done, I think guys really come out and they fight a lot harder, they go after rebounds a lot tougher,” Knight said.

“It kind of changes the game,” the 6-foot-3 guard added. “Guys play tough throughout the season, but I think they step it up a notch in the tournament.”

So has Knight.

And, Kentucky coach John Calipari isn’t surprised, comparing the young star’s work ethic to that of Derrick Rose, who played for Calipari while leading Memphis to the Final Four as a freshman.

“This young man works like he does. ... Any time

If you’re trying to get over, if you’re cutting every corner, if you’re trying to fool around in practice, the minute it goes wrong in the game, you expect it to continue,” Calipari said.

“If you’re a hard worker and you spend the time, you expect good things to happen, even if I miss two.

Everybody says, ‘why would you give him the ball when he didn’t make a shot?’

Because I knew he expected to make the last one. ... And he’s not afraid to miss the last shot. You can’t be afraid to miss it, either.”

Kentucky (27-8) advanced to the East regional semifinals in Newark, N.J. against either No. 1 seed Ohio State or eighth-seeded George Mason. It’s the second trip to the round of 16 in as many seasons under Calipari.

West Virginia, which reached the Final Four a year ago by beating Kentucky in the regional final, led 41-33 after closing the opening half on a 22-7 run.

But Kentucky scored the first 11 points coming out of the break and eventually wore down the Mountaineers (22-12).

Josh Harrellson delivered eight of his 15 points during the pivotal stretch of the second half that Kentucky used to gain control. Terrence Jones overcame a slow start offensively to finish with 12 points and 10 rebounds, and each one of Knight’s four assists produced easy baskets for teammates.

“He was really good,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said of Knight.

“I thought we did a much better job the second half, but there’s a reason why everybody recruits those guys; they’re pretty good,” Huggins added. “Terrence Jones made some huge

plays for them, some huge baskets. They’re talented ... really really talented.”

Joe Mazzulla led West Virginia with 20 points, but the 6-foot-3 senior guard only had five after halftime. Darryl Bryant scored 15 before fouling out in the final minute, and Casey Mitchell came off the bench to add 11 and help the Mountaineers stay in the game.

For Calipari, it was just his second victory in 10 matchups with close friend Huggins. The two embraced after the final horn.

“I just wished him good luck,” Huggins said. “I told him go win the thing.”

Mazzulla was one of the keys to West Virginia’s win last year, scoring 17 points and helping the Mountaineers frustrate Kentucky’s shooters with a 1-31 zone that harassed the Wildcats into 4 for 32 from beyond the 3-point line.

West Virginia relied almost exclusively on manto-man defense Saturday.

And even though Kentucky shot 56.5 percent in the opening half, the Wildcats turned the ball over seven times and didn’t get a lot of open looks at the baskets after getting off to its quick start.

Although the game was billed as a rematch of last year’s East regional final, it really didn’t feel like one.

Da’Sean Butler was the big gun on West Virginia’s Final Four team and Kentucky is rebuilding after having five players — four freshmen — selected in the first round of the 2010 NBA draft, including No. 1 overall pick John Wall.

He drained a pair of long 3-pointers to begin Saturday’s game and never backed off.

“I felt more confident,” said Knight, who was 9 of 20 from the field and made 9 of 10 free throws. “My teammates continued to have faith in me even though I didn’t play such a great game (against Princeton). They still had faith in me, and they really helped me out, finding me and stuff like that. And they really

stepped their level of play up, which got me more shots.”

Knight scored 14 of his team’s first 21 points, and Kentucky was in relatively good shape at the half despite not getting much production from its other two freshmen starters — Jones and Doron Lamb — or junior Darius Miller.

Lamb sat most of the opening half with three fouls and remained on the bench to start the second half, when the Wildcats used the 6foot-6 DeAndre Liggins to try to slow down Mazulla.

Rose fires 65, takes the lead in Tampa PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — Justin Rose is coming off a year in which he won two PGA Tour events on strong golf courses. He knows what to expect from his emotions in the final round and how to stay patient amid a crowded leaderboard.

The four guys behind him have never won.

And that made Rose’s one-shot lead Saturday in the Transitions Championship seem a little larger.

“It doesn’t mean it’s all going to go smoothly tomorrow,” Rose said. “You have to be ready for whatever happens. But at least I kind of am aware of the ups and downs, and the things I’m going to face. And I think that maybe it’s a lot easier to deal with.”

Rose was patient for long enough for the birdies to fall, and he shot a second straight round of 6-under 65 in more perfect conditions at Innisbrook to build a lead over Brendon de Jonge and Webb Simpson.

A 6-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole put Rose at 13-under 200, one shot off the 54-hole tournament record.

De Jonge and Simpson have never won on the PGA Tour. Neither have the two guys another shot behind — rookie Scott Stalling, who only made his first cut in the big leagues last week in Puerto Rico; and Gary Woodland, who lost in a playoff at the Bob Hope Classic this year.

“You want to give yourself a chance to win, and I have

that opportunity now,” de Jonge said.

Simpson, whose wife recently gave birth to their first child, kept pace with Rose for much of the day until dropping shots on two of the tough par 3s on the back nine. He still had a third straight 67 and was trying not to think ahead to Sunday.

“This course is tough enough to where you’ve got to think about the hole you’re on,” Simpson said.

“That is what we dream about, and this is what we practice for, to have a chance on Sunday. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

De Jonge earned a spot in the final group with a steady round of 66.

Nine players were separated by only three shots going into the final round, and while most of them don’t have Rose’s winning experience, there is a name that is hard to ignore. Nick Watney, coming off a World Golf Championship title last week at Doral, had seven birdies in his round of 65 and was in the group at 10under 203 with Brandt Snedeker, who shot a 67.

Garrett Willis and Chris Couch, the co-leaders after the second round, each shot 70 to fall back, although they were still in the mix.

Sergio Garcia finally made a bogey in America this year — it’s his first PGA Tour event since last August — and then made four more in a round of 72 that most likely left him too

12th-seeded Richmond advances

DENVER (AP) — Richmond plays the role of favorite pretty well, too.

The program, which made its name by bouncing everyone from Barkley to Boeheim out of the tournament over the decades in a string of upsets, defeated No. 13 seed Morehead State 65-48 on Saturday to advance to the round of 16 for the first time since 1988.

As the better seed and a four-point favorite, this was one the 12th-seeded Spiders were “supposed” to win, and they did — with ease.

They received 19 points from Justin Harper and turned Eagles big man Kenneth Faried into pretty much a non-factor.

The Spiders (29-7) will play the winner of Kansas-Illinois in the Southwest regional semifinals next Friday in San Antonio.

“A lot of teams get (worked up) about where they’re seeded,” Richmond coach Chris Mooney said. “The most important thing is to go out and play each individual game.”

Richmond bottled up the NBA prospect Faried by shadowing him with two, sometimes three defenders.

Faried, the leading Division I rebounder in the modern era, finished with 11 points and 13 boards, but it was about as quiet as a double-double gets.

“They didn’t do anything to me that I haven’t seen,” Faried said. “I was kind of stagnate with my offense, and that’s a credit to Richmond.

“We played Louisville and were able to come up with the upset. We fell short against Richmond.”

The Eagles (25-10), the darlings of the tournament after knocking off Louisville, were sent home, but not before tying a school record for wins and gaining plenty of interest in their tiny school located in Morehead, Ky. Not that it eases the sting.

“The game will hurt you no matter who you are. Have days like Thursday, you can’t explain how good you feel.

And then you have days like this, when you can’t explain how much it hurts,” Morehead coach Donnie Tyndall said.

The Spiders became the only school to win games as a No. 12, 13, 14 and 15 seed. They eliminated fifth-seeded Vanderbilt, 69-66, in their opener.

But that win over the Commodores hardly counted as a shocker, especially given Richmond’s history this time of year.

The Spiders ended the season of an Auburn team led by Charles Barkley during the 1984 NCAA tournament.

Barkley’s now in the TV booth and Richmond is still springing memorable wins.

Richmond also beat Jim Boeheim’s second-seeded Syracuse squad in 1991 and knocked out South Carolina in 1998 as a No. 14 seed.

This was the first time the Spiders moved on to the round of 16 since more than two decades ago, when the team was a 13th seed. The Spiders beat Indiana and then Georgia Tech that season, before losing to Temple.

“We didn’t think we were the favorite,” said Dan Geriot, who finished with 13 points. “Morehead is a great team and Faried is a great player. We had to play well to win. They weren’t going to lay down for us.”

The Eagles turned into quite a story since Demonte Harper’s 3-pointer in the waning seconds lifted his team to a 6261 win over the Cardinals.

Faried & Co. made the rounds of national sports shows, while campus visits to the small school — enrollment 9,000 — went through the roof, along with requests for applications.

Just imagine what another upset could’ve done for the university’s popularity?

Terrance Hill and Ty Proffitt each scored 10 points, but Harper, the team’s second-leading scorer, was ice cold, finishing 2 of 15 and with just four points.

far behind. He was six shots back.

PGA champion Martin Kaymer, the No. 1 player in the world, had a 71 and was nine shots behind.

Rose was closer to the cut line than the top of the leaderboard halfway through his second round until he ran off five birdies on the back nine of Innisbrook and wound up with a 65. He had five birdies on his next nine — the front nine Saturday — to take the lead.

“First 27 holes of the tournament, I had to be really patient,” he said. “I knew I was playing well and wasn’t getting much out of it. Obviously, the next combined 18 went really hot.

But this is a golf course that it’s easy to be patient on, really, in terms of you hit in the middle of the green, you two-putt for par, you know you’re not being lapped by the rest of the field.

“It’s not Disney from that type of scoring perspective.”

Watney went from feeling flat on Friday to feeling fresh in the third round, and it showed. He revved up the gallery behind the 17th green with a 10-foot birdie, and made a long two-putt across the 18th for his 65.

“I’ve done all I can do. I’m really excited for tomorrow,” Watney said. “I’m just going to take a lot from last week.

I’m definitely riding some momentum. I just feel good with my game and I’m feeling more and more comfortable.”

Woodland is an intriguing contender.

He is the latest pure athlete to join the PGA Tour, cut along the lines of Dustin Johnson, only less polished. He spent his freshman year playing basketball, saw a greater future in golf and transferred to Kansas. That’s when he started facing his first real competition, but after shoulder surgery last year, Woodland is starting to progress quickly.

He lost in the three-man playoff at the Hope, and has been steady on a Copperhead course he has never seen. Woodland, one

of the biggest hitters on tour, decided to go conservative and hit mostly 2-iron off the tee. It’s working out for him.

The surprise is Stallings.

He missed every cut on the West Coast Swing and finally earned a paycheck last week — just over $11,000 — when he tied for 42nd in the Puerto Rico Open. His round featured a hole-in-one on No. 8, the third-toughest hole at Innisbrook, and he followed that with five birdies on the back nine.

Stallings received a sponsor’s exemption, mainly because he and Kenny

“I was surprisingly relaxed,” Stallings said. “I knew that I had nothing to lose. It was basically play well this week, and take advantage of the opportunity or if I didn’t play well, I was going to sit back and wait until I got in toward after the U.S. Open, because that’s when the tournaments would start opening up and the fields would get a little bigger.”

Lovena Ethel Clark

A memorial service for Lovena Clark is scheduled for Monday, March 21, 2011, at 2 p.m., at First United Methodist Church.

Those attending are encouraged to wear bright colors to commemorate Lovena’s love for flowers.

Lovena Ethel Clark passed away on Wednesday, March 16, 2011.

“Venice” or “Vene” as she was also known by her family and friends was welcomed into the arms of God on a bright sunny afternoon with her family by her side.

Lovena was bor n in Elliott County, Ky., on May 10, 1925, to J.E. and Myrtel Waggoner Rice.

At the age of 17, Lovena married her first husband, Thomas Paul Hay, on Dec. 19, 1942, in Springfield, Ohio. In September 1943, they were blessed with a son, Jim. The Hay family moved to New Mexico for the sake of Thomas’ health.

He passed away on Nov. 28, 1954, leaving Lovena with a young son to provide for.

Lovena worked for the Roswell Police Department as a meter maid in the early 1950s. Venice and her co-workers would frequent Jeans, a little café on Third Street, for their lunch and coffee breaks. It was there that she became acquainted with her second husband George Clark. They were married on Dec. 2, 1960. In November 1961, they were blessed with a son, Burney Joe. In 1964, they would lose a son in infancy.

During their married life, Lovena helped George with his arcade business. They supplied many establishments in the area with pool tables, jukeboxes, and pinball and arcade games. In addition to this, she also spent many years babysitting in her home.

Lovena had great love of flowers and working in her yard and garden. Every spring and summer her front yard would greet you with a profusion of blooms overflowing with color. She spent many hours over the years tending her flowers and was always sad when the outdoor growing season ended. In addition to her flowers, she also planted many seeds of love with her family and friends. She loved all her grandchildren dearly and always showed great interest in their lives and their accomplishments. People would meet her once and take an instant liking to her. She was a very cheerful lady who had a great spirit for fun and enjoyed the simple things in life.

Lovena was also a wonder ful cook and spent many hours satisfying appetites with her Down Home cooking style. One of her families’ best memories will be of eating Mexican food at her table every Christmas Eve. Those left behind to cherish her memory are her son Burney and wife Vicki, of Roswell, and their children Anne and Thomas Clark, both of Roswell; grandsons, Chris Hay and wife Suzy, and their daughter Jayme Sue, of Manhattan, Kan., and Wes Hay and wife Julie and their children, Kaitlyn, Aubrey and James Wesley

Hay, and Aidan Ryan, all of Dallas; sister Juanita Felton, of Chattanooga, Tenn.; daughter-in-law Betty Hay Jackson and husband Larry, of Kear ney, Neb.; sister-in-law Millie Hurley, of Bellville, Texas; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins in the Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas areas.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband; her infant son; her son, Jim Hay; brothers, James Rice, William Rice and Kenneth Rice; sisters, Elsie Rice Howard, Eula Hampton, Mabel Rice Jones, and Leatta Belle Rice.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank the following for their efforts in the recent care of Lovena: Dr. Reynaldo Martinez and staf f, Comfort Keepers staf f, Casa Maria staf f, nurses and other health care staf f at ENMMC, Roswell Home Care and hospice.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to the ministry of your choice at First United Methodist Church in Roswell, NM: Silver Chords, Heaven Connection Youth Choir, the Nurture Committee, or Cowboy Bell Scholarship Fund.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts and memories with the family in the online register book at andersonbethany.com.

Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson Bethany Funeral Home and Crematory.

Eternally Smiling Raymond Hills went home to his Lord and Savior on March 19, 2011, in Roswell.

Egyptians vote on constitutional changes

CAIRO (AP) — Eager for their first taste of a free vote in decades, Egyptians formed long lines outside polling centers on Saturday to cast their ballots on a package of constitutional amendments sponsored by the ruling military.

The nationwide referendum is the first major test of the country’s transition to democracy after a popular uprising overthrew President Hosni Mubarak’s authoritarian rule on Feb. 11.

Lines began forming in the hours before polls opened, snaking along the streets in highly unusual early turnout for an Egyptian election.

“This is a historic day for Egypt,” Deputy Prime Minister Yahya al-Gamal told reporters after casting his

vote in Cairo. “I had never seen such large numbers of voters in Egypt. Finally, the people of Egypt have come to realize that their vote counts.”

Voters were being asked to cast ballots to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the entire package of nine changes.

Preliminary results will be announced Sunday.

A “yes” vote would allow parliamentary and presidential elections to be held later this year or early in the next. A “no” vote could force the military to extend the six-month deadline it has set for the handover of power to an elected civilian government.

“My vote today will make a difference. It’s as simple as that,” first-time voter Hossam Bishay, 48, said as he waited in line with about

Egyptian army soldiers guard outside a polling station in Cairo, Egypt, Saturday, during referendum on constitutional amendments .

300 others outside a polling center in Cairo’s upscale Zamalek district.

The center was guarded by six police officers and one from the army.

State television showed footage of similarly long lines in the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, Egypt’s second largest city, and elsewhere in the country.

About half of Egypt’s 80 million people are eligible voters and the military, in a bid to get the vote out, has decreed that they would be allowed to cast their ballots at any polling center in the country with their national ID cards — issued to those 18 and older — as the only required proof of identity.

Egyptian elections have for decades been defined by widespread fraud designed to ensure victory for the regime.

Lack of faith in the process, along with violence and intimidation, have kept most voters away. But the trust in the system appears to have come back.

“I am very excited to be doing this,” Alaa al-Sharqawy, an engineering lecturer, said as he was about to cast his vote in Cairo.

“It’s true that the amend-

ments have polarized us, but I am glad we are voting.”

The constitutional amendments drawn up by a panel of military-appointed legal scholars are intended to bring just enough change to the current constitution — which the military suspended after coming to power — to ensure that upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections are free and fair.

They would open the elections to independent and opposition candidates and restore full judicial supervision of votes, a measure seen as key to preventing fraud.

They would also limit presidents to two four-year terms, and curtail 30-yearold emergency laws that give police near-unlimited powers.

UN condemns mortar attack on Ivory Coast market

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — The mortar shell landed just feet (meters) from Sidibe Siaka as he and his seven close friends were eating lunch at their usual spot in their Abidjan neighborhood. Within minutes, all of his friends were dead.

“God has spared me,” said the 55-year -old tile salesman, as he pulled his friends’ blood-spattered slippers from the rubble on Friday, a day after Ivory Coast’s worst single attack in its growing political crisis.

Thursday’s attack by the army still loyal to former president Laurent Gbagbo left at least 25 people dead and drew condemnation from the U.N., which said it could be a crime against humanity.

The U.N. said in a statement that at least six 81 mm mortar shells were fired from a military base located inside Abobo in the direction of a crowded market. At least 40 people were wounded.

“Such an act, perpetrated against civilians, could constitute a crime against humanity,” the U.N. said in a Friday statement.

U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay said that investigators from her office visited Abobo and found mortar shells in a number of houses and in the local market.

“Shelling impacts were visible throughout the market and at least three houses were destroyed. My mission collected photographic

evidence of the damage caused as well as physical evidence of shell remains.

Between 20 and 30 persons were killed and between 40 and 60 others were wounded,” she told reporters during a stop in Dakar, Senegal.

“It’s a serious situation, and I think it does amount to, it may well amount to, crimes against humanity,” she said.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the U.N. Security Council to “take further measures with regard to the Ivorian individuals who are instigating, orchestrating and committing the violence,” said U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky.

Security Council members, in a statement from China Ambassador Wang Min, said they “reiterate their deter mination to impose measures, including targeted sanctions, against those who impede

the peaceful resolution of the crisis, obstruct the work of UNOCI and other international actors in Cote d’Ivoire or commit violations of human rights and international humanitarian law.”

Gbagbo denied his forces were involved. He instead suggested that the U.N. was conspiring against him.

“We think the U.N. is desperately looking for a pretext for a military intervention, like in Libya,” said Gbagbo spokesman Ahoua Don Mello.

Just after midday, shells fell without warning on a market in front of the mayor’s office in Abobo, a district held by fighters loyal to the internationally recognized president, Alassane Ouattara. At one market stall, an elderly woman lost both legs, a witness said.

One resident, Magoman Kone, said she fled her

market stall when policemen drove by the marketplace firing their machine guns into the air. She came back when the firing stopped to gather her wares — and then the mortar shells started falling.

“There was no warning,” said Kone, 55, holding up the casing from a 50-caliber machine-gun bullet, as thick as a spent toiletpaper roll. “Just boom, boom, boom.”

On Friday, wounded people lined up outside a local hospital. Foreign health workers refused to say how

many patients they had seen.Ouattara’s gover nment called the attack “unimaginable” in a statement released late Thursday. They said more than 40 people died, though this could not be independently verified.

The attack also drew condemnation from the British government.

“I utterly condemn the indiscriminate killing of more than 25 people in Abobo yesterday by forces loyal to former President Gbagbo,” said British Foreign Secretary William Hague. “The launching of

mortars into a market place and bus station is abhorrent and the U.N. should conduct a full investigation.”

The violence has also drawn the interest of the Hague-based International Criminal Court, which said they are monitoring events closely. Rights groups also condemned the attack.

“To launch an attack of this kind that kills and injures a large number of people who are not posing an immediate threat is completely unacceptable,” said Veronique Aubert, Amnesty Inter national’s Africa deputy director.

Dr. Leandro Gutierrez of Casa Querencia Animal Health Center, mentored student McKayla Nunez.

The Roswell Independent School District’s Mentorship/Internship Program gives students a sneak peek at a variety of professions

ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF MARY LOU TRUJILLO

McKayla Nunez loves everything about horses, but that wasn’t always the case.

She used to be afraid of them — until she started riding horses and discovered her passion for them.

The Goddard High School senior plans to become a veterinarian and is already gaining experience in what the day-to-day work is really like.

Nunez helps take care of the animals she loves — brushing, feeding and cleaning the stalls, and even witnessing the birth of foals — and receives high school course credit for it through the Roswell Independent School District’s High School Gifted Mentorship/Internship Program.

Nunez previously worked with Dr. Leandro Gutierrez of Casa Querencia Animal Health Center.

The program is open to Goddard and Roswell high school juniors and seniors who have been identified as gifted or talented, or to other students who meet grade-point average and other requirements, said Mary Lou Trujillo, mentorship coordinator for the RISD. The program “allows (students) to experience real-life situations in a protected way.”

For Nunez, that means working with Susan Hunter of Hunter Creek Farms, where she helps with a little bit of everything.

Hunter, who said Nunez is the first student she’s worked with in the RISD program, said Nunez is “very good.”

“She comes in every day about 5 p.m. and stays until about 7 or 7:30 p.m.,” Hunter said. “She’s very willing do anything we need done. ... She’s very good.”

Whether interested in working with animals or with someone in the medical field, law, politics, engineering or marketing, Trujillo said students who are interested in the program should talk to their high school guidance counselors as soon as possible; those who are in the gifted or talented program should speak with their case managers.

To participate in the program, students must fill out an application packet, which includes an autobiographical sketch, a one-page resume, teacher recommendation forms and a copy of the student’s transcript.

An average of about 15 students per semester participate in the program.

The program allows students to work with profes-

sionals in a wide variety of career fields such as medicine, law, teaching, pharmacology and marketing. Students are matched with community mentors based on the students’ educational background, strengths, abilities and interests, Trujillo said.

“The course is designed to challenge (students)

and to provide educational experiences beyond the routine classroom setting,” Trujillo said. “It’s a good way of really finding out for yourself what you really want to do.”

Students in the mentorship program spend a minimum of 55 hours per semester with the mentor; students in the internship program spend a minimum of 110 hours. Trujillo said many students exceed the required minimum hours.

Allison Collins is one of those students. The GHS senior, whose parents are both educators, said she’s always wanted to follow in her parents’ footsteps.

“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher,” Collins said, adding she participated in the internship program the fall of her junior year, interning with first-grade teacher Rhonda Boardman at Washington Avenue Elementary School. “I did a lot of one-on-one work. I helped them with their reading. I helped assess kids.

I did filing. ... I was glad to do it. I was in that atmosphere. I got that experience in the daily environment (of a teacher).”

Collins said her experience in the program helped “confirm” in her mind that teaching is the right career for her.

“It helps you make that decision whether to go into the profession you’re considering,” she said.

Students are expected to keep a journal throughout the semester, describing their experiences at the mentorship or internship site. Students are also expected to record their hours spent at the site to turn in and complete all other assignments with their coordinating teacher throughout the semester.

Mentors are expected to provide assigments for their students; they are also asked to complete an evaluation form at the end of each nine-week period and to sign the students’ time sheets verifying the amount of time spent at the site.

“The mentor assumes the role of an educator as opposed to an employer,” Trujillo said.

Students also must develop projects which they present at a reception at the end of the course, summarizing what they learned.

Trujillo said students who are interested in the program for the 2011-12 school year should pick up a packet soon.

“The earliest they can do it, the better,” Trujillo said.

For more information about the program or how to apply, visit the Roswell Independent School District’s High School Gifted Program, 300 N. Kentucky Ave., Room 200, or call 627-2573.

Dad worried son will make same mistakes he did

QUESTION: Our son just got married, and while he and his wife obviously love each other, I’m worried about their long-term prospects. He travels a lot, and there are so many temptations out there. How can I help him avoid the same terrible mistakes I made as a younger man?

JIM: At Focus on the Family we hear from many hurting people whose homes have been destroyed by infidelity.

However, no matter how great the temptations out there, your son needs to know that disasters like this can be avoided.

You can encourage him in that regard, but it’s a battle he must fight himself. Marriage counselor David Sanford has noted that nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to have an affair. Infidelity takes root in the heart and mind long before the physical act.

The opposite is also true. Marital fidelity starts well before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves — to be a person of character. Being faithful is a lifelong commitment. It means seeking the best for your spouse and your family on a daily basis, at home or on the road.

Sanford has outlined several steps to help strengthen marital fidelity. These include affirming and listening to your spouse, seeking to meet her needs and setting healthy boundaries for relationships outside the home.

Hopefully your son is doing these things.

On the other hand, marital fidelity weakens when you devalue or avoid your spouse, instead focusing on yourself. It might start when a husband looks at pornography online, or when a wife gets too close emotionally to a male

co-worker. But it always ends in heartache.

Even for those who have broken the bonds of marital trust, there is hope for healing and restoration. But the path is long and painful. It’s so much better not to start down it in the first place. ** ** ** QUESTION: Because of the downturn of the economy, I’ve found myself the primary breadwinner in our family. I grew up in a very traditional home, so this is an unknown for me. I can already tell it’s causing friction with my husband. What do I do?

JULI: The Pew Research Center reported that in 2007 approximately 22 percent of wives earned more than their husbands, so you’re not alone. While there’s nothing morally wrong with a wife being the primary breadwinner, it does present some unique marriage challenges. These difficulties are not often discussed because they represent traditional ideas that are not considered “PC.” Politically correct or not, the problems are real.

Regardless of who earns more money, the fundamental needs of men and women in marriage haven’t changed. A man needs to feel like a competent contributor and protector of his family. For the past several generations, the fundamental way men have measured their role as husband and father is how they provide financially. When he’s unemployed, or his wife outearns him, a husband’s confidence can take a big hit.

One of a wife’s primary needs in marriage is to feel protected by her husband. This is echoed in the storybook romances of knights in shining armor rescuing damsels in distress. Although you may not feel like you need rescuing, your heart probably longs to rest in your husband’s strength.

When a woman outearns her husband, these primary needs can easily go unmet. He feels useless, and she starts to resent having to carry the whole load. If by choice or necessity you continue to be the breadwinner, I recommend that you address these issues with your husband, perhaps with the help of a counselor. Making sure the emotional needs of both of you are met will determine the health of your marriage. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

Some divorced families choose to vacation together KAREN SCHWARTZ FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Actor Bruce Willis has done it. So has Britain’s Prince Andrew and media mogul Arianna Huffington.

They’ve all vacationed with their ex-spouses and kids.

While such post-marital closeness is inconceivable to some divorced couples, others say it’s a great way to save money and to foster good memories, for the children — and even the parents.

“If you get along with your ex it can be very easy to do,” said Mike Geoffrion, 39, who has vacationed with his ex-wife, Janna, and kids, including a trip to Disneyland.

Geoffrion, who manages a bike store in Fort Collins, Colo., divorced in 2006 after six years of marriage but thinks the joint vacations have been nice for the kids as well as the adults.

Supervising and entertaining children is less stressful with two parents, he said, and he enjoyed the adult interaction. “You get tired of talking to an 8year-old over nice, expensive dinners,” he said.

Vacationing together has also worked well for Meredith Morton, 39, an actress in Los Angeles, and her exhusband, Shane Edelman.

When they first divorced in 2004, they took vacations with their infant son, Ace, because they both wanted to enjoy his “firsts.”

Since then they have each remarried, yet continue to vacation en masse with their new spouses, Ace, and his three half-siblings.

Most recently, they rented a large house in Palm Springs, Calif., and spent three days relaxing by the pool, playing with the children and making fun of golfers.

“It wasn’t just like we were just sharing rent. We went to be with them,” Morton explained.

It helps that her husband, Scott Cutler, a music

producer, gets along with Edelman. For one thing, Cutler likes to eat, and Edelman likes to cook.

“Die Hard” actor Willis has vacationed with his former wife, Demi Moore, their three daughters, and her current husband, Ashton Kutcher. “It’s hard to understand, but we go on holidays together,” he told Vanity Fair in a 2007 interview. “We still raise our kids together — we still have that bond.”

Fran Walfish, a psychologist in Beverly Hills, Calif., and author of “The SelfAware Parent,” said divorced couples vacationing amicably with their kids “gets my complete endorsement.”

But she cautioned, children of divorce often fantasize that their parents will reunite, and vacationing together might feed that.

Parents need to be clear that the trip is a special event, like a Disney visit or a birthday trip, “and say, ‘We really just wanted to

both be with you.’ “ Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, both 51, have made a ski trip with their two daughters a nearly annual event since their divorce in 1996.

Huffington, 60, waited 12 years after her divorce to vacation with her ex-husband, former Republican Congressman Michael Huffington, and their teen daughters.

But the 2009 trip to Greece was so successful that she blogged: “I only hope that, for the sake of the over one million children a year whose parents get divorced, it’s a journey more and more families take.”

Warren Gardner, 24, of Vancouver, British Columbia, offers the child’s perspective. He and his two younger sisters have vacationed with both their parents since their separation three years ago. They’ve taken several trips around British Columbia and Alberta, most recently to

Calgary for Christmas and to mark his grandmother’s 90th birthday.

“To be honest, vacations all together since they split are less stressful than when they were together,” he said. “The mood is a lot lighter.”

What advice do divorced travel veterans have for those who might consider giving it a try?

Geoffrion said it has only worked for him when neither he nor his ex-wife were in a serious relationship.

And, he said, although he paid for the previous trips, he’s at a point where he’d expect to split the expenses.

Karen Stewart, founder and chief executive of Fairway Divorce Solutions, a Calgary-based divorce mediation company with franchises throughout North America, recommends exes vacationing together negotiate the ground rules beforehand.

For the dedicated kitchen gardener, winter can be a tough period limited to leafing through seed catalogs and stretching the remnants of whatever was canned or frozen from last season’s harvest.

Then comes springtime. In some gardens the first crop of peas are planted as early as St. Patrick’s Day and harvested before the summer heat begins. And then there’s that mint, which no matter how rough a winter it’s been seems to be the first herb that bounces back.

In this spirit we’ve created this recipe for fusilli with tomatoes, peas, garlic, feta and mint. Not ready to garden? Frozen peas work just fine.

——— Fusilli with tomatoes, peas, garlic, feta and mint Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 4 12 ounces regular or whole-grain fusilli pasta 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 28-ounce can diced tomatoes 5 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup baby peas, fresh or frozen 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain well. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Set aside.

Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes, reserving 1/3 cup of the juice. Set both aside.

In a large skillet over medium-low, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the peas, capers and the tomatoes and reserved juice. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is simmering, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the mint, then season with salt and pepper.

Serve the pasta with the sauce spooned over the top and sprinkled with feta.

CBO: Obama understates deficits by $2.3 trillion

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new assessment of President Barack Obama’s budget released Friday says the White House underestimates future budget deficits by more than $2 trillion over the upcoming decade.

The estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that if Obama’s February budget submission is enacted into law it would produce deficits totaling $9.5 trillion over 10 years — an average of almost $1 trillion a year.

Obama’s budget saw deficits totaling $7.2 trillion over the same period.

The difference is chiefly because CBO has a less optimistic estimate of how much the government will collect in tax revenues, partly because the administration has rosier economic projections.

But the agency also rejects the administration’s claims of more than $300 billion of that savings — to pay for preventing a cut in Medicare payments to doctors — because it doesn’t specify where it would come from.

Likewise, CBO fails to credit the White House with an additional $328 billion that would come from unspecified “bipartisan financing” to pay for transportation infrastructure projects such as high speed rail lines and road and bridge construction.

predicts the deficit for the current budget year, which ends Sept. 30, won’t be as bad as the $1.6 trillion predicted by the administration and will instead register $200 billion less.

But 10 years from now, CBO sees a $1.2 trillion deficit that’s almost $400 billion above White House projections.

The estimated cost of the new health care law increased by about $90 billion, to $1.13 trillion, from 2012-2021. But the budget office didn’t issue a new estimate of the taxes and savings in the legislation that pay for Obama’s

expansion of health insurance.

CBO had earlier projected the total of those offsets at $1.25 trillion. So the margin by which the new health care law reduces federal deficits appeared to be shrinking.

The White House’s goal is to reach a point where the budget is balanced except for interest payments on the $14 trillion national debt.

Such “primary balance” occurs when the deficit is about 3 percent of the size of the economy, and economists say deficits of that magnitude are generally

sustainable.

But CBO predicts that the deficit never gets below 4 percent of gross domestic product. That means that by the time 2021 arrives, the portion of the debt held by investors and foreign countries will reach a dangerously high 87 percent. And, as a result, interest costs for the gover nment would explode from $214 billion this year to almost $1 trillion by decade’s end.

“The President’s budget never reaches ’primary balance,’ meaning that it fails to clear even the low bar the administration set

for itself in justifying its claims of sustainability,” said House Budget Committee Chair man Paul Ryan, R-Wis. White House budget director Jacob Lew said in a blog post that “CBO confir ms what we already know: current deficits are unacceptably high and if we stay on our current course and do nothing, the fiscal situation will hurt our recovery and hamstring future growth.”

The estimate adds urgency to calls on Capitol Hill for action on runaway deficits that many economists fear — if left

unchecked — could trigger a European-style debt crisis that could force draconian measures such as cutting federal benefits for seniors or forcing broadbased tax increases.

Just on Friday, 64 senators — 32 in each party — signed a letter to Obama calling on him to take the lead in coming up with a comprehensive deficit reduction plan along the lines of a plan issued last year by his own deficit commission.

That plan called for a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code that would trade dozens of expensive tax breaks for lower individual and corporate rates, curb Social Security benefits and clamp down on spending across the budget.

“While we may not agree with every aspect of the commission’s recommendations, we believe that its work represents an important foundation to achieve meaningful progress on our debt,” the senators wrote. They said that “with a strong signal of support from you, we believe that we can achieve consensus on these important fiscal issues.”

Conversely, the report is a sobering blow to House Republicans charged with developing a budget blueprint that could satisfy its core supporters in the tea party.

Why inflation hurts more than it did 30 years ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation spooked the nation in the early 1980s.

It surged and kept rising until it topped 13 percent.

These days, inflation is much lower. Yet to many Americans, it feels worse now. And for a good reason: Their income has been even flatter than inflation.

Back in the ’80’s, the money people made typically more than made up for high inflation. In 1981, banks would pay nearly 16 percent on a six-month CD. And workers typically got pay raises to match their higher living costs.

No more.

Over the 12 months that ended in February, consumer prices increased just 2.1 percent. Yet wages for many people have risen even less — if they’re not actually frozen.

Social Security recipients have gone two straight years with no increase in benefits. Money market rates? You need a magnifying glass to find them.

That’s why even moderate inflation hurts more now. And it’s why if food and gas prices lift inflation even slightly above current rates, consumer spending could weaken and slow the economy.

“It feels far more painful now than in the ’80s,” says Judy Bates, who lives near Birmingham, Ala. “Money in the bank was growing like crazy because interest rates were high. My husband had a union job at a steel company and was getting cost-of-living raises and working overtime galore.”

Bates, 58, makes her living writing and speaking about how people can stretch their dollars. Her husband, 61, is retired.

They’ve paid off their mortgage and have no car payments. But they’re facing higher prices for food, gas, utilities, insurance and health care, while fetching measly retur ns on their savings.

“You want to weep,” Bates says.

Consumer inflation did pick up in February, rising 0.5 percent, because of costlier food and gas. Still, looked at over the past 12 months, price increases have remained low. Problem is, these days any inflation tends to hurt.

Not that everyone has been squeezed the same. It depends on personal circumstances. Some families with low expenses or generous pay increases have been little affected.

Others who are heavy users of items whose prices have jumped — tuition, medical care, gasoline — have been hurt badly. But almost everyone is being pinched because nationally, income has stagnated.

The median U.S. inflation-adjusted household income — wages and investment income — fell to $49,777 in 2009, the most recent year for which figures are available, the Census Bureau says. That was 0.7 percent less than in 2008.

Incomes probably dipped last year to $49,650, estimates L ynn Reaser, chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University in San

Diego and a board member of the National Association for Business Economics.

That would mark a 0.3 percent drop from 2009. And incomes are likely to fall again this year — to $49,300, she says.

Significant pay raises are rare during periods of high unemployment because workers have little bargaining power to demand them.

They surely aren’t making it up at the bank. Last year, the average nationwide rate on a six-month CD was 0.44 percent. The rate on a money market account was even lower: 0.21 percent.

Now go back three decades, a time of galloping inflation, interest rates and bond yields. When Paul Volcker took over the Federal Reserve in 1979, consumer inflation was 13.3 percent, the highest since 1946. To shrink inflation, Volcker raised interest rates to levels not seen since the Civil War. As interest rates soared, CD and money-market rates did, too. The average rate on money market accounts topped 9 percent.

T reasury yields surged, pushing up rates on consumer and business loans.

The 10-year Treasury note yielded more than 13 percent; today, it’s 3.5 percent.

By 1984, consumers were enjoying a sweet spot: Lower prices but rising incomes and still-historically high rates on CDs and other savings investments.

Consumer inflation had slid to 3.9 percent. Yet you could still get 10.7 percent on a six-month CD.

Judy Bates searches on her computer looking for good deals at her home, in Dora, Ala. Even after accounting for inflation, the median income rose 3.1 percent from 1983 to 1984. At the time, workers were demanding — and receiving — higher wages.

More than 20 percent of U.S. workers belonged to a union in 1983. Labor contracts typically provided cost-of-living adjustments tied to inflation. And competition for workers meant those union pay increases helped push up income for non-union workers, too.

Last year, just 12 percent of U.S. workers belonged to unions. And among union members, a majority now work for the

gover nment, not private companies. Wages of government workers are under assault as state gover nments and the federal government seek to cut spending and narrow gaping budget deficits.

Workers’ average weekly wages, adjusted for inflation, fell in February to $351.89. It was the third drop in four months.

The result is that even historically low inflation feels high. So “when you mention low inflation to real people on the street, they immediately roll their eyes,” says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.

Falling behind inflation is something many people hadn’t experienced much in their working careers until now. In the 1990s and 2000s, for instance, most Americans kept ahead of rising prices. Inflation averaged under 3 percent.

Another recession would be possible if prices began to approach $150 a barrel.

Back in 1983, a barrel of oil cost just $29.40 — or $65 in today’s prices, adjusted for inflation.

All that said, today’s consumers are fortunate that today’s lower rates mean one major household cost remains far lower than in the 1980s: a mortgage.

Yum Brands CEO’s pay package up 31 percent in 2010

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Yum Brands Inc., the company that owns the KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut chains, gave Chairman, President and CEO David Novak a pay package worth nearly $12.6 million in 2010, according to an Associated Press analysis of data filed with regulators.

That’s 31 percent higher than $9.6 million compen-

sation package he received for the 2009 fiscal year.

The boost in pay came as Yum’s business improved, with sales rising in the U.S. and as its chains rapidly expanded in key international markets such as China. The company’s net income jumped more than 8 percent to $1.16 billion on revenue of $11.34 billion last year. And its stock surged 40 percent.

Novak said last month that 2010 was perhaps Yum’s “best year as a public company.”

Yum, based in Louisville, Ky., kept Novak’s salary steady at $1.4 million. His stock awards were valued at $740,005 on the days they were granted, also about flat with the prior year.

The bulk of the increase in

his compensation came from a 20 percent bump in the value of his stock option grants to $5 million, and a 69 percent jump in his performancebased cash incentive to $5.1 million.

Novak also received perks worth $338,783, such as personal use of the company’s aircraft, life insurance and disability

insurance premiums, home security, and other items. The value of those benefits is up 41 percent from the prior year.

The Associated Press for mula calculates an executive’s total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonus, performance-related bonus, perks, abovemarket retur ns on

deferred compensation and the estimated value of grants of stock and stock options made during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

He gently told me that is out of the question, and I can expect her to attend all family holiday celebrations and other functions.

Former lawmaker becomes governor’s chief of staff

AP Photo

Keith Gardner, chief of staff for Gov. Susana Martinez, reviews her next appointment with Bianca Gutierrez, director of operations, at the governor’s office, March 10.

SANTA FE (AP) — This time six years ago, Keith Gardner was a state legislator, living in an RV during the legislative session, camped out at the edge of Santa Fe. Since then, Gardner, 43, has paved a path to the heart of Republican state politics, serving in the House for five years, climbing to a leadership role in 2008 and, this year, becoming chief of staff for Gov. Susana Martinez.

So how did the Spanishspeaking Mormon football coach from Roswell become one of the most important people in state gover nment?

In some ways, it was a serious accident that left his leg nearly severed in two places that put him on

a course toward the Roundhouse.

He credits his parents and the atmosphere of a small town — Reserve in Catron County — for shaping his beliefs early in life.

Watching his father’s campaigns for judge — the elder Gardner served terms as a magistrate and municipal judge — sparked Gardner’s interest in campaigns and politics.

“I’ve always been a little argumentative, hardheaded, so my parents always said I was going to have a career in politics because of that,” he said.

When he was 10, Gardner got his leg caught in a Rototiller, leaving him seriously injured. Thanks to doctors, physical therapists and others in sports medi-

cine, he regained full use of the limb.

But the biggest kid in a class of 23 was sidelined from sports he wanted to play.

Instead, he found an interest in sports medicine, a line of study at New Mexico State University that led to a career in sports rehabilitation and ultimately to Santa Fe. At one point, Gardner’s employer sent him to Santa Fe to lobby for a bill dealing with licensing and reimbursement for athletic trainers.

That experience wasn’t a good one.

A former senator, whom Gardner declined to name, “basically kicked us out of the room and lobbyists ran it. It was really appalling. I

got mad and said, ‘One of these days I’m going to come back.”’

Gardner’s election in 2004 came after the incumbent at the time, Earlene Roberts, voted for a bill that would have required ignition interlocks in all vehicles in New Mexico.

He was upset, but not sure he was ready to run again after losing his first campaign in 2002. His friends, however, were.

Supporters soon rallied behind Gardner as their choice for representative, and Gardner said he would never again run for second place.

“The first time I went out and said, ‘I’m a nice guy, please vote for me.’ The second time we went out and talked about issues.”

He won.

When he got to Santa Fe, he knew a few faces, including then-Rep. Dan Foley, with whom he had coached youth football in Roswell — and with whom he shared an RV in 2005 and 2006.

Friends say Gardner — fluent in Spanish from his missionary work in Spain — lear ns by immersion, and he soaked up as much as he could. He then launched his own initiatives.

His work in the House shows a similarity to the issues Martinez was working on at the time as district attorney in Doña Ana County. In those years, the two had met but were just acquaintances.

During his first year in the Legislature, Gardner co-sponsored an effort to require driver’s license applicants to be U.S. citizens — a key issue of Martinez’s gubernatorial campaign and one that put her crosswise with lawmakers in the current session.

Gardner also worked on another issue dear to Martinez’s heart: preventing child exploitation. He sponsored a measure that outlaws sexual exploitation of children by digitally copying children’s faces or other body parts onto actual depictions of sexual activity.

Gardner enjoyed the House.

“For me, the constant challenge was wonderful. I love it. It was stimulating and I felt like I was reasonably good at it,” he said.

Fast forward to November 2010.

Martinez, whom Gardner endorsed, had just won the election. Gardner had hosted an event at his house for her, but wasn’t in her inner circle.

Gardner’s name was being floated among insiders as a possible coalition House speaker amid a potential shake-up in the House leadership after Republicans gained eight seats.

In short, he was happy where he was.

Then came calls from the transition team, wanting him to meet with Martinez.

Gardner and his family prayed about the decision

before the meeting. He and Martinez met for a while, talked about philosophy and issues, not even bringing up salary. That’s when Gardner accepted.

Martinez said she wanted someone with good knowledge of the Legislature.

“I really wanted someone who understands state government as well as the legislative process and who had been respected by both sides,” she said.

Gardner occasionally represents Martinez at events she can’t attend.

That means he better know almost exactly what she’s thinking, and certainly what she would say, in a variety of situations.

So far, that’s worked out well, the governor said. “We are absolutely in sync,” she said. “That doesn’t mean we don’t debate issues.”

His new job involves being Martinez’s top adviser, key strategist, of fice manager and confidant. He oversees a staf f of 25, works extensively with the Cabinet, and is sometimes the public face for Martinez at legislative hearings and meetings.

These days, Gardner, who earns $134,999 in his new post, is living much more comfortably than during his days at the RV park. He rents a house on the south side of Santa Fe and tries to spend as much time as he can with his wife, Stephanie, and four kids, three of whom still live in Roswell.

Judge: New Mexico AG violates public records law SANTA FE (AP) — A judge has ruled the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office, which is responsible for helping enforce the state’s public records law, has violated that statute.

State District Judge Beatrice Brickhouse earlier this week ordered Attorney General Gary King to comply with a records request from a lawyer who is suing his office in a paydiscrimination case.

The issue centers on a request for salary information from attor ney Dan

Faber, who sued the Attorney General’s Office last year on behalf of three female attorneys in King’s office. The lawsuit alleges the female attorneys aren’t paid as much as male lawyers with similar jobs and experience.

That federal lawsuit is separate from Faber’s state records law claim, which he filed under his own name.

Last August, the Attorney General’s Of fice denied Fabes request for salary information.

The office did not cite an exemption under the records act that would allow it to withhold the records.

However, it noted an order put the discovery process on hold for information in the pay case and said Faber’s request appeared to circumvent that process.

Brickhouse, however, ruled the public records law “provides a statutory right independent of the federal rules of discovery.”

According to a docu-

ment Faber supplied, the federal judge in the case lifted the order on Jan. 14.

A spokesman for King’s office, Phil Sisneros, said he believes the federal court’s stay remains in place.

“We’re operating under the federal court order, which still has a stay for any discovery including IPRA requests,” Sisneros said.

The federal court earlier found Faber in contempt for making the records request during the stay,

but Faber said Thursday he believes the most recent ruling vindicates him.

Brickhouse has yet to decide what fees to impose against King in the records case. The law provides that violators can be fined up to $100 a day for each day information is wrongly withheld. Faber said he’s been waiting more than 200 days for the documents.

The lawyers suing the Attorney General’s Office contend the of fice has

based pay on a system of discrimination for at least 23 years, resulting in pay disparity between genders.

Sisneros has denied any gender discrimination and said any pay disparity is not related to gender.

“Each attorney has his own caseload and their own strengths,” he told The New Mexican newspaper last year. “We try to pay them accordingly.”

Member of original 29 Code Talkers dies in Arizona

CAMP VERDE, Ariz. (AP) — Lloyd Oliver wasn’t much of a talker, but it was clear that he was proud to have his native language serve as a key weapon during World War II. As part of an elite group of Marines, he helped develop and implement a code based on the Navajo language that helped win the war.

Years later, his hearing remained impaired because of gun blasts and other explosives during the war.

He rarely brought up his time as a Code Talker, but his eyes gleamed when holding a picture of himself in his uniform. He kept a Marine cap and a U.S. flag displayed on his bedroom walls in the home he shared with his wife on the Yavapai Apache Reservation.

Oliver’s death Wednesday means that only one of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers survives — Chester Nez of Albuquerque, N.M. The 88-year-old Oliver died at a hospice center in the Phoenix suburb of Avondale where he had been staying for about three weeks, his nephew, Lawrence, said Friday.

“It’s very heartbreaking to know that we are losing our Navajo Code Talkers, and especially one of the original 29 whose stories would be tremendously valuable,” said Yvonne

Leave your mark

Murphy, secretary of the Navajo Code Talkers Foundation.

Hundreds of Navajos followed in the original code talkers’ footsteps, sending thousands of messages without error on Japanese troop movements, battlefield tactics and other communications critical to the war’s ultimate outcome.

The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific.

Navajo President Ben Shelly called Oliver a “national treasure” and ordered flags lowered across the reservation in his honor.

Oliver, who preferred not to have a hearing aid, spoke audibly but his words could be difficult to understand.

The Code Talkers were instructed not to discuss their roles and felt compelled to honor those orders even after the code was declassified in 1968.

His military records make a single mention of “code talker.” He otherwise was listed as “communication duty,” or “communication personnel.”

Oliver was attending school in Shiprock, N.M., when he signed up for the Marine Corps in 1942 and was discharged as a corporal three years later. Much of his military record focus-

es on the financial support he provided for his siblings.

Oliver wrote in a 1943 document that his father died recently and his mother didn’t make enough to take care of them. He would send $15 or $20 a month to his mother, Ollie, who worked at the U.S. Army’s Navajo Ordnance Depot in Bellemont at the

Volunteer

time.

“I am now the chief support,” he declared in the document.

Oliver’s brother, Willard, also served as a Code Talker and died in October 2009. Lawrence Oliver, who is Willard’s son, said the two men never spent much time together because his father lived on the reserva-

tion and his uncle worked as a silversmith in the Phoenix area.

He recalled one day in the early 1970s when Willard Oliver looked toward a mountain on to a dirt road in the reservation town of Lukachukai and saw a man driving up.

“I’m looking for Willard Oliver,” Lawrence Oliver recalled the man saying.

Turns out, the driver — Lloyd Oliver — was in the right place.

When he married his second wife, Lucille, in 2006 after they had been together for years, he was able to mutter “I do.” But “those were the only two words,” she said.

The couple moved to the Phoenix area last year as his health was failing. His family remembered him as a quiet, giving man.

“We will miss his wonderful smile most of all. He loved his family and was very proud to be a Navajo Code Talker,” his stepdaughter, Louanna Hall said in a statement.

Oliver’s attention to cleanliness was meticulous.

He smoothed out wrinkles in a table cloth, picked up crumbs from the floor, and brushed the dirt of f the stucco wall and rose petals off the driveway during a visit with The Associated Press in September 2009.

Oliver communicated

with most people through body language or notes, though he could understand what was being said and particularly liked being spoken to in Navajo.

During the visit with the AP, he muttered his recollection of his service as “overseas in the war,” and laughed off assertions that he was famous for it.

Oliver’s life was peppered with honors and awards after the Code Talkers became well-known. He received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2000 and served as a guest of honor in the nation’s largest Veterans Day parade.

Oliver traveled with his grandson and a dozen other Code Talkers to New York in November 2009. He smiled as he looked up at the tall buildings and visited HBO studios and Ellis Island, said Murphy, of the Navajo Code Talkers Association, who went along on the trip.

“He was such a sweet man,” said Murphy, the daughter of a Code Talker.

“His disposition and character spoke widely of him even though he wasn’t verbal.”

The funeral was scheduled for Saturday morning at a church on the Gila River Indian Community reservation south of Phoenix.

Diplomat says minuscule fallout reaches California

AP Photo

Employees weigh the last bottles of granulated Kelp at Nature Mart Inc. in Los Angeles, after a run on iodine cleaned out the store's supply and ran up hundreds of phone call requests Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The first radioactive fallout from Japan’s crippled nuclear plant reached Southern California early Friday, but the readings indicate levels far below a level that could endanger people, according to a diplomat.

The ambassador, who has access to United Nations radiation tracking of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, cited data from a California-based measuring station of the CTBTO. Initial readings are “about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening,” the diplomat told The Associated Press. He asked for anonymity because the CTBO does not make its findings public.

U.S. government experts also insist there’s no threat to public health from the plume.

“Radiation is one of those words that get everybody scared, like ‘plague,”’ said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director of public health for Los Angeles County. “But we’re 5,000 miles away.”

The amount of any fallout that wafts across the Pacific Ocean to the U.S.

coast will be so diluted that it will not pose any health risk, officials say. Wind, rain and salt spray will help clean the air over the vast ocean between Japan and the United States.

Nuclear experts say the main elements released are radioactive cesium and iodine. They can combine with the salt in sea water to become cesium chloride and sodium iodide, which are common and abundant elements and would readily dilute in the wide expanse of the Pacific, according to Steven Reese, director of the Radiation Center at Oregon State.

“It is certainly not a threat in terms of human health” added William H. Miller, a professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Missouri.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency deployed extra detectors radiation throughout the country to allay public concerns. On Thursday, President Barack Obama said “harmful levels” of radiation from the damaged Japanese nuclear plant are not expected to reach the U.S. The radiation stations will send real time data via

Top commander says United States respects Mexico sovereignty

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AP) — Amid criticism of surveillance flights by U.S. drones over Mexico, a high-ranking U.S. military commander said Friday the United States is car eful not to violate Mexican sovereignty as the two countries fight drug trafficking.

Adm. James Winnefeld, head of U.S. Norther n Command, didn’t specifically mention the drones, but he did refer to recent reports about “elements of U.S. support” for Mexico in the drug war.

Winnefeld wrote that the U.S. is eager to work with Mexico, but “the very first question we ask is whether or not it would infringe in any way on Mexico’s sovereignty or rule of law. The answer, quite simply, must be ‘no, it does not.’”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been surreptitiously flying Predator drones into Mexico since 2009, but the practice did not come to light until Wednesday. The border security agency’s surveillance flights started befor e the occasional flights into Mexico by the U.S. Air Force’s $38 million Global Hawk drone that began last month.

Some Mexican lawmak-

ers wer e critical of the border agency flights, but Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinosa said the drone flights do not violate Mexico’s sovereignty because they are “controlled” by Mexico and are unarmed.

Mexico’s National Security Council said U.S. unmanned aircraft have been sent over Mexico on surveillance missions when r equested by the Mexican gover nment. A U.S. official told The Associated Press in Mexico City that during each mission, a Mexican official is present at the U.S. command center where a drone is remotely piloted.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Norther n Command has a r ole in the flights. But Winnefeld has said Northern Command must help stop the flow of drugs, weapons and money between the two nations.

Norther n Command, based at Peterson Air For ce Base, Colo., is responsible for the military defense of U.S. soil and supporting civilian agencies in natural or human-caused disasters.

satellite to EPA officials, who will make the data available to the public online. The monitors also contain two types of air filters that detect any

radioactive particles and are mailed to EPA’s data center in Alabama.

That information, as well as samples that numerous federal agencies are collecting on the ground and in the air in Japan, also will be sent to the Department of Energy’s atmospheric radioactivity monitoring center in California, where teams are creating sophisticated computer models to predict how radioactive releases at Fukushima could spread into the atmosphere.

Inside Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory near San Francisco, scientists, engineers, and meteorological experts were analyzing those charts and maps to help policymakers predict where radioactive isotopes could travel.

“The models show what happens if the situation gets worse, if the winds change, or if it rains to predict what could happen,” National Nuclear Security Administration spokesman

Damien LaVera said. “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has said they see no radiation at harmful levels reaching the United States, and we’re not seeing anything that is inconsistent with that.”

An ar m of the United Nations earlier this week made a forecast of the possible trajectory of the radioactive fallout from Japan. The forecast only showed how it might move, but does not have information about radiation levels.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District is monitoring radiation levels at its three stations every hour and planned to post daily updates on its website.

In the unlikely event that the situation escalates, the California Emergency Management Agency would coordinate emergency response efforts with state public health officials and local officials.

“Worst-case scenario, there is no threat to public

health in California,” said the agency’s acting secretary, Mike Dayton.

The California Department of Public Health, which set up a hotline for concerned residents, also has its own network of eight monitors sampling the air, water, and soil for har mful substances, including radiation, said agency spokesman Ron Owens.

Farther north, in Alaska, people also have been asking where they can buy potassium iodide pills. Greg Wilkinson, a spokesman for the state Department of Health and Social Services, said the state doesn’t monitor or track private inventories, but he also said it has seen no indication that potassium iodide will need to be taken by Alaskans in response to events in Japan.

Health officials throughout the western U.S. have said there’s no need to take them.
