Soren Thorsted, 4, wore a Transformers costume that allowed him to turn into a New Mexico State Police car during the alien costume contest at the Pueblo Auditorium, Saturday. The lad won best alien costume and first place in the TV/movie personality category for youth.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The most successful costume at the alien costume contest at the Pueblo Auditorium on Saturday was actually two costumes in one.

And when the lad wearing the costume “transformed,” the audience that packed the auditorium screamed, applauded, gasped and looked on in amazement.

Terry Hecht said her grandson, Soren Thorsted, 4, was dressed as a transformer. Although he came onto the stage walking, Thorsted amazed the crowd when he crouched down and turned into a New Mexico State Police car.

Hecht said the costume idea came from the child’s father, Martin Thorsted, who is a New Mexico State Police officer. Although he is currently overseas, he used Skype to show his family in Roswell how to make the costume.

“He got on Skype and drew the costume for Transformers,” Hecht said. Soren’s sisters, Rose

KVITOVA TAKES TITLE

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — One might reasonably have expected Petra Kvitova, not Maria Sharapova, to be betrayed by nerves in the Wimbledon final.

This was, after all, Kvitova’s first Grand Slam championship match, while Sharapova already owned three major titles, including one from the All England Club.

So Kvitova decided to pretend she was heading out on Centre Court to play in the fourth round.

Chomp, Chew and Crumb, (Paloma Dooley, Allison Dawe and Sienna Fleming respectively) won first place for most creative costume in the child and youth category.

Thorsted, 10, and Samantha Thorsted, 6, showed they share in their father’s creativity by designing their own colorful and unique costumes with a computer.

Soren Thorsted won for best alien costume. He also won first place for best costume in the TV/movie personality category for youth.

Samantha Thorsted won first place for most creative costume in the youth category. Rose Thorsted won first place for scariest costume in the youth category.

Moments before standing in line behind the stage at the Pueblo Auditorium, Dante Fowler’s sticky costume still needed some adjustments. Luckily, his family — including his mother, grandmother and aunt — were there to help

Fowler, who lives in Nuevo, Calif., came up with the idea for his “nano-bacterium hybrid” costume, which helped him win second place for most creative costume in the youth category.

Another successful family affair was that of Chomp, Chew, and Crumb. According to Nancy Fleming, the trio is from the planet Yum-Yum in the Nom-Nom Galaxy. The aliens were almost tall enough to touch the ceiling, and had huge mouths and tongues.

The trio of aliens was actually Allison Dawe, 17, Paloma Dooley, 18, and Fleming’s daughter, Sienna, 16. Nancy Fleming made their costumes. They won first place for most creative costume in the chil-

dren’s category.

“It’s fun to be creative,” she said.

Other winners included: Jeremiah Cherinko, second place, best TV/movie personality in the youth category. Cyndi Perkins, first place, best TV/movie personality in the adult category. A couple known only by their alien names — Agyla and Bardoq — won second place, best TV/movie personality in the adult category.

Michelle and Samantha Wall, second place, scariest costume in the youth category. Carl Clink, first place, scariest costume in the adult category. Thomas Linkous, second place, scariest costume in the adult category.

Ruth Monticello, second place, most creative costume in the children’s category.

VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

A horse entered the alien pet costume contest for the first time at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, Saturday morning. Despite the commotion of the contest’s first equine, it was seasoned contestants that won the top prizes.

Paul Whitwam, from Roswell, introduced his horse, Cheeto, as a green alien from the planet Equinous. Whitwam said the planet Equinous is in the constellation Pegasus.

“He eats green cheese from the moon, and drinks out of the Milky Way,” Whitwam said. Cheeto wore a simple green costume that covered most of his body. Whitwam said he had been planning to bring a horse to the alien pet costume contest for years.

As tourists flocked to Roswell for the 2011 UFO Festival, guest lecturers and a plethora of information regarding the extraterrestrial were not the only things to take in.

Vendors and merchants are clustered around downtown selling everything UFO-related under the sun and a host of other items. The Chaves County Courthouse lawn had plenty to choose from and the fun went all the way down to the UFO Museum and Research Center.

“It’s been very steady.

We’ve been doing very well,” said Leanna Molinar, a worker at the museum’s gift shop. “I’m having fun. It’s been nonstop.”

She’s worked at the museum gift shop for two years, and said all signs point to successful sales this year.

A steady stream of visitors to Roswell filled the gift shop, perusing through anything and everything UFO-related.

All eyes on SCOTUS’ Justice Ginsberg: What will she do?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats and liberals have a nightmare vision of the Supreme Court’s future: President Barack Obama is defeated for reelection next year and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 78 the oldest justice, soon finds her health will not allow her to continue on the bench.

The new Republican president appoints Ginsburg’s successor, cementing conservative domination of the court, and soon the justices roll back decisions in favor of abortion rights and affirmative action.

But Ginsburg could retire now and allow Obama to name a likeminded successor whose confirmation would be in the hands of a Democratic-controlled Senate. “She has in her power the ability to prevent a real shift in the balance of power on the court,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California at Irvine law school. “On the other hand, there’s the personal. How do you decide to leave the United States Supreme Court?”

For now, Ginsburg’s answer is, you don’t.

There are few more indelicate questions to put to a Supreme Court justice, but Ginsburg has said gracefully, and with apparent good humor, that the president should not expect a retirement letter before 2015.

She will turn 82 that year, the same age Justice Louis Brandeis was when he left the court in 1939. Ginsburg, who is Jewish, has said she wants to emulate the court’s first Jewish justice.

While declining an

interview on the topic, Ginsburg pointed in a note to The Associated Press to another marker she has laid down, that she is awaiting the end of a traveling art exhibition that includes a painting that usually hangs in her office by the German emigre Josef Albers.

“Couldn’t think of leaving until after it is retur ned to me, which won’t be anytime soon,” she wrote.

Certainly there is no indication that Ginsburg is slowing down on the job, even after she underwent surgery two years ago for pancreatic cancer that her doctors said was detected at a very early stage.

Appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, she served for the first time this term with two other women, Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, and as the senior liberal-leaning justice, a role that gives her the power to assign dissenting opinions when she is on the losing side of ideologically split rulings.

She doesn’t have to look very far ahead to imagine having a vote in some of the most important cases of her time on the court, including the challenge to Obama’s health care overhaul and the fight over gay marriage.

Laura Krugman Ray, a Widener University law professor who has written about Ginsburg, said it is easy to believe Ginsburg would want to have a voice in those cases.

“I think the court is enormously important for her,” Ray said. “And especially now after husband’s death, you wonder what

she can see herself doing if she were not on the court.”

Ginsburg, the second woman on the bench, has only to look at the first for a cautionary tale about retiring. Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement in 2005 in part so she could take care of her ailing husband, John.

Two months later, Chief Justice William Rehnquist died in office.

In retirement, O’Connor has maintained a busy schedule, hearing cases on federal appeals courts as well as advocating for Alzheimer’s funding, improved civics education and merit selection, rather than partisan election, of state judges.

O’Connor, now 81, also has said that she regrets that some of her decisions have been “dismantled” by the Supreme Court. Justice Samuel Alito, who took her seat in 2006, has voted differently from O’Connor in key cases involving abortion rights, campaign finance and the use of race in governmental policies.

But some on the left say that the focus on the personal is misplaced.

Ginsburg needs to put self-interest aside and act for the good of the issues they believe in, Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy wrote recently.

Kennedy said 72-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer should leave, too.

David Garrow, a Cambridge University historian who follows the court, said Ginsburg’s situation points to an institutional problem for the court, “the arguably narcissistic attitude that longer is better.”

Cybertipsline aids reporting of suspected child exploitation JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was founded in 1998 to protect the children of America. It has created a national tip line, called “cybertipsline,” for people who suspect an individual of child exploitation or parents who are concer ned about the legitimacy of their children’s on-line contacts.

The center also deals with runaways, the possession or manufacturing of child pornography, along with on-line enticement of a minor, sex tourism and child prostitution.

The Internet tip line is anonymous, although the person reporting a potential crime may be asked for an address, so that investigators can contact the appropriate taskforce.

Sgt. Daniel Ornelas, of the Chaves County International Crimes Against Crimes Task Force, said that several cases have come to the Sheriff’s Office

from cybertips or from other task forces in other states.

Some people may be stymied by the fact that the date is also required and may not know a date.

Or nelas advises, “If you don’t have the date of a specific incident, then the date when you became aware of a possible incident will do.”

He also wanted to explain to people that cybertips is not Crime Stoppers, the individual will not receive a reward. However, they may stop a serious crime.

“If you call, there are certain questions they will ask. They do significant research before the information is sent on to us to weed out bogus reports.

There’s is nothing worse than being falsely accused,” said Ornelas.

Cybertips, cybertipline.com or 1-800-8435678, is funded by the federal gover nment and by corporate donors.

Numerous government agencies are involved with the NCMEC, including the FBI, Homeland Security,

U.S. Immigration and Customs Service, U.S. Postal Investigations, the U.S. Department of Justice plus taskforces across the nation.

The Chaves County Task Force was formed in 2009.

“Until I had this job, I did not realize how prevalent this was,” Ornelas said. He listed statistics from the beginning of the year.

On Jan. 31, 2011, the cybertip line received 3,456 reports of child exploitation, 54 reports of child prostitution, 3 reports of sex tourism and 77 reports of on-line enticement nationwide. “That’s about 3,700 for that week alone,” Ornelas said.

The job is hard on the investigators. “It’s horrific the stuff that we see. ... It’s hard to believe what people are capable of doing, much less to their own children, You just don’t want to see this stuff,” he said.

One of Ornelas’ jobs as supervisor is to look for signs of distress among his staff. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

UFO FESTIVAL

Book combines romance, ETs VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The 2007 UFO Festival marked the 60th anniversary of the alleged UFO crash near Roswell. For K. Lorraine, the event also marked the beginning of an idea for a book that combines romance and visitations from outer space.

The book, titled “A Next Generation: Love in Silence,” is described as a “Romeo and Juliet story with an alien twist” by Lorraine, who said she uses a pen name for the sake of privacy.

“It is a second coming from our outer space neighbors,” Lorraine said.

The book is about Juke, a young alien man who is sent to Earth by his superiors.

“He has a mission to fulfill,” Lorraine said. “As Juke is here longer and longer, he has a mission of his own.”

The human girl Juke falls in love with is named Sonoma.

Juke is indistinguishable from humans because he has the ability to transform himself.

“How he transforms himself is very comedic,” Lorraine said without giving too much away. She said that Juke’s presence at something like a UFO Festival is perfect because whether he presents himself as alien or

All of the small pets arrived in spaceships.

Angel and Sugar Pie had spaceships made from foil, plastic wrap and boxes.

Bugsy came in style in a remote control car.

Terri Walker said the contest was an opportunity for her children Katie and Matt to have some family fun.

“The kids have a lot of fun making their spaceships and costumes for their pets,” Terri Walker said.

“It’s almost a comedy of errors,” Lorraine said of the book.

Originally from Fort Myers, Fla., Lorraine said she moved to Roswell in 2005 because several hurricanes had destroyed her home.

Campos entered the contest with her cousin, Skylair Lopez, also 10. Lopez competed with a Chihuahua named Rico Suave.

Campos hugged her dog after winning second place.

“Well, I think it’s pretty exciting because we didn’t get to win last year, and we’re thinking about (entering the contest) next year,” Campos said.

Both Chihuahuas arrived clad in sparkly capes and with a single twinkling star on their forehead. Campos’s mother, Barbara Campos, helped make the capes for both dogs.

Sister, whose alien name is Little Star, arrived in an elaborate spaceship decked with colorful, alien-themed motifs. The spaceship was a tiny float specially made

by Pete Ibarra. His wife Diane described Sister’s costume as “cowgirl alien.”

Pete Ibarra made Sister’s white cowgirl hat. The dog was also wearing a silver dress and antennae.

“We just try to be creative,” Diane Ibarra said.

As far as what makes Sister an alien costume contest favorite, she said the secret is all Sister’s.

“She’s just so cute that people fall in love with her,” Diane Ibarra said. “It has nothing to do with us. It’s all her.”

Many good reasons to celebrate July 4 A4 Sunday, July 3, 2011

OPINION

SANTA FE — Monday is a very special day. We have many reasons to celebrate. Considering current events, there is very good reason to be extra patriotic.

We should pay homage to those patriots who pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Then they signed a document that made them all revolutionaries, guilty of treason, if captured.

Upon winning that revolution, we became the first revolutionary power and now we are the oldest revolutionary government in the world. We also are holder of the oldest written constitution.

It was all very infectious.

Lafayette returned home after our war and, under George Washington’s influence, made it the pet cause of liberals in France and Europe during the 1790s, introducing democracy in many countries throughout the continent.

Lafayette’s friendship with Washington is the subject of

At this point in our history, when we’re not feeling very good about some of our European allies, it may be helpful to remember the contributions of Lafayette, von Steuben, de Kalb and others, who helped us win our freedom.

Historian Samuel Morrison once said that had the American Revolution produced nothing but the Declaration of Independence, it would have been worthwhile.

Our founders fully understood that in order to espouse these universal, never-ending truths, they had to make it possible for revolution to occur again, even in their own country.

Thus came the Bill of Rights.

Many of its 10 amendments are under attack today, with questionable searches and seizures, trials that aren’t speedy, gun control and public sentiment against the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.

The willingness by many to surrender some of our cherished freedoms in return for perceived security is deeply troubling, but of most

When the United States entered World War I, much of the motivation was gratitude to France for its help so many years earlier. That assistance is now mostly forgotten but at the time, it was poignantly remembered by Gen. George Pershing’s aide, Col. Charles Stanton, when he visited Lafayette’s tomb on July 4, 1917, to announce, “Lafayette, we are here.”

As we celebrate the document that officially declared the colonies to be in revolution, it is appropriate to remember that it is the only Revolutionary War date that we do celebrate, except for Patriot’s Day commemorating the beginning of the war, on April 19, 1775. It still is celebrated in New England, with one of the big events being the Boston Marathon.

Polls over the last few years suggest that although Americans still support the ideals of the First Amendment, they have reservations about its reality. A majority think the press has too much freedom, that public demonstrations should not be allowed and that freedom of religion is not meant to apply to fringe groups.

And although 90 percent of Americans believe in freedom of speech, support falls to less than 50 percent when asked about specifics that are constitutionally protected. We are becoming reluctant to offend, willing to silence unpopular opinions and provocative ideas at the cost of freedom.

Where will we go from here?

Are we alone?

With our city’s annual UFO Festival in full swing, we can’t help but marvel at the fact that Roswell has attained international notoriety and become a focal point in the debate concerning extraterrestrial life.

It’s been 64 years since something wondrous was discovered in a field north of Roswell, but the events of 1947 still captivate the imagination and inspire curiosity about our place in the universe.

The Roswell Incident, as it has come to be known, was a phenomenon which rocked the world and then left behind bitter disappointment.

It took place during a time of imagination and boundless energy. It was a time when the miracles of science were opening the eyes of mankind to the endless possibilities of a universe both vast and mysterious. Superstitions and ignorance were being banished by the illumination of scientific exploration.

All things became possible. So it was with confidence and without sensationalism the Roswell Daily Record reported the Army’s announcement it had captured a flying saucer. The report ran alongside stories covering cotton production and the presence of area dairy men at a recent lecture. The existence of extraterrestrial life was at last confirmed in black and white for all to read.

Then, as abruptly as it began, the story vanished. The Army declared the material in its possession was nothing more than a balloon. The rancher who discovered the wreckage said he regretted ever talking about his find. A photograph of a weather balloon extinguished the excitement.

No one back then could have imagined that some scattered debris tumbling across the miles of rolling desert landscape in southeastern New Mexico could have such far-reaching implications for this city or the imagination of mankind.

After the brief hullabaloo, most residents of this then-quiet community went back to the business of their daily lives. Some, however, did not.

A few remarkable individuals nurtured the memories of that summer back in 1947. Quietly tucked away, doubts, beliefs, questions and theories awaited a second chance. Decades later, the story was reborn and captured the imagination of the world. This time, the story hasn’t gone away.

Through the ages, there have been eternal questions which have fascinated man as he strove to understand the nature of the universe around him. Roswell has the honor of being the nexus for one of these mysteries.

The Roswell Incident inspires the imagination and inherently begs the question: Are we alone?

That three words are so simple and complex all at once is a powerful commentary on the nature of human thought. Among the creatures inhabiting this planet, the human race is unique in many ways. Our intelligence sets us apart from all other animals, but perhaps our curiosity plays an equal role in defining our existence and shaping our history. What’s on the other side of that mountain? Where will we end up if we cross this ocean? What would it be like to fly? Is it possible to walk on the moon?

The Roswell Incident embodies mankind’s desire to understand its place in the universe.

Are we the most advanced beings in existence?

Are we mere children in the grand scheme of things? Are alien eyes spying on us with benevolent affection and curiosity or with malice and covetous designs?

As the UFO Festival continues, we hope participants will not only enjoy themselves, but also take a moment to reflect on the sublime question posed by the Roswell Incident. The truth behind the events of 1947 may never be known, but the quest for the answer might just be as important as actually finding the answer itself.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have been diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, which is not on your list of health reports. I have to wait another five months for an appointment with an ENT specialist. In the meantime, I must continue talking, as I am a teacher of FSL (French as a Second Language) and my work means I talk all day long. I’ve tried getting slippery elm lozenges, which are supposed to help the voice, but they are presently unavailable in Canada. So what can I do, short of not talking, to reduce or relieve symptoms?

Instead, these spasms give the voice a strained quality, often making it extremely difficult for others to understand what a person is saying. The condition commonly begins when a person is in his or her 30s to 50s and may progress from mild to serious. It is more common in women than in men and can last a lifetime.

There are several forms of SD. The most common one, accounting for almost 80 percent of all cases, occurs when the vocal cords hit together and stiffen during speech, causing the individual to speak in a breathless, strained manner. The person

Justices should step out of their safety zones and experience life on urban streets where mortal combat is for real and shootings are as commonplace as corrupt politicians. Where do armed teenagers in roving gangs get the idea that life is cheap and can be so easily taken without regard to social mores?

Children aren’t born this way. They must be taught these things, and if parents aren’t teaching them — or more accurately “parent,” since fathers are usually absent and it doesn’t take a sociologist to see a connection — a violent and life-denying culture is happy to fill the moral void.

Does anyone believe Thomas Jefferson could have foreseen a day when violent images of the worst sort ought to be protected by the First Amendment? When he wrote about freedom of the press, did “press” mean blood and gore? And if it did, should anything be banned? Should any child be told “no”?

There are a number of laws governing childhood behavior that have never been successfully challenged. Minors are told they can’t smoke or drink until a certain age. Why does the state consider it injurious for minors to take alcohol into their stomachs and nicotine into their lungs, but not har mful for them to absorb the most violent images into

The voice can appear completely normal or near normal at times but not at other times. SD may be hereditary; however, this is a rare disorder, and that makes genetic studies difficult.

While there is no cure, therapy is available and might involve the services of a speech pathologist or botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to temporarily weaken or paralyze the muscles to eliminate spasms. Unfortunately, the BOTOX route is a temporary one and may require repeat injections up to four times a year. Other possibilities include cutting one of the smaller branches of the nerve leading to the larynx or adjusting the framework of the larynx; these latter procedures are reserved for the patient who fails to respond to BOTOX injec-

If alcohol produces a reaction in minors the state finds harmful and if cigarettes injure developing lungs and contribute to rising health care costs, — and so the state imposes age restrictions — what do violent images produce and why can’t the law impose age restrictions on those?

Minors can’t sign contracts. The state won’t let kids drive cars until a certain age, believing, rightly, that they are not mature enough to handle the responsibility. Some argue that even at age 16, the legal driving age in most states, children are still not sufficiently mature enough to drive, as evidenced by the high accident rate among teens.

Anyone who has tried to stop an adolescent from ignoring a parent’s wishes knows what I’m talking about. In a perfect world, children would listen to, respect and obey their parents. But this is far from a perfect world and parents could use occasional help from the state in preventing violent culture from undermining what’s in the best interest of the child, and the country. This ruling by the Supreme Court does not achieve that end.

OPINION III

God bless America .... no really, God bless America

On the wall behind my desk at home is a print of Abraham Lincoln in the Oval Of fice. He is down on one knee by his desk.

On the plaque below the print is a quote by him: “It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God. And to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proved by all history that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.”

Abraham Lincoln also said, “My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side.” God and country. Throughout the history of America, God has been a part of our existence.

A national political speaker ends his address with “God bless America.” What does this mean?

Is it just a phrase or a song we sing? You see, “God” is more powerful than “country.”

Monday we celebrate 235 of years of being a country. When our forefathers voted for independence in 1776, I don’t think any one of them anticipated that someday the country they created would become the most powerful nation on the entire planet.

The leadership of the 13 original colonies was just trying to separate themselves from British rule. Our leadership had many blessings going for it at that time.

LETTERS

RICK KRAFT

For example, the settlers were blessed to be separated by a large body of water from the mother country from where we came.

Our national motto is “In God We Trust.” Our Pledge of Allegiance includes “One nation under God,” although recently a major television network took the “under God” out of a recitation of our pledge.

Do we really want God to bless America or are these just words we speak? How do we as a nation get blessed by God? In the Old Testament of the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 8, Verses 6 and 10 to 20 advice is given to another nation at another time that applies directly to us today three and a half millenniums later. The book was written in about 1406 B.C.

by Moses. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, in his final act as the leader of his nation, Moses is delivering his farewell address and is about to transfer leadership to Joshua.

Tax rates

Dear Editor: You cannot just cut benefits for the poor, elderly and sick and allow the wealthiest of us to escape becoming part of the “we” who have to sacrifice to balance the federal budget. Any budget reform must include increased tax rates for everyone and closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy.

When I graduated from high school in 1951 my father made $7,000 a year. His marginal tax rate was 25 percent. I seldom heard him complain about taxes. The top marginal tax rate that year was 91 percent as it had been from 1944 and continued until 1963. These were boom times and our economy grew at a record pace. Not only did we pay off most of the World War II debt, but sent thousands of GIs to college, began building the interstate highway system, and started the space program.

My father’s $7,000 a year salary that was subject to a 25 percent marginal rate for a joint income is equivalent, according to an inflation calculator I found on the Internet, to a salary of a little over $58,000 a year today; and the marginal tax rate for that is only 15 percent for a joint income or 30 percent less. Yet I never heard my father and his friends scream about high taxes like today’s Republicans.

Now, I am not suggesting that we go back to the tax rates of the period 1945 to 1963, but how about raising them to the levels that Saint Reagan lowered them to ... a 50 percent top marginal rate on incomes over $200,000 a year? Let us all, rich and poor alike, share the sacrifice.

Perhaps a couple of quotes from Thomas Jefferson are in order here.

“I hope that we crush ... in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”

The advice Moses gives to the Israelites is good advice to our nation of America today. In it lies the answer to the question, “How does America receive God’s blessings?”

Moses writes “Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and revering him ... When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.

“Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herd and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

“He led you through the vast and dreadful desert, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you.

“You may say to yourself, ‘My power and the strength of my

“Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise.”

Lastly, ask any Republican if he would sacrifice his life for his country. I assure you he would answer with a resounding yes! Then ask that same Republican if he would be willing to sacrifice a dollar in increased taxes for his country. I assure you he would answer with a resounding no!

Makes you wonder about what they value doesn’t it?

The nature of alcoholism

Dear Editor: “Refrain from drink which is the source of all evil — and the ruin of half the workmen in this Country.”— George Washington One hundred thousand Americans die of alcohol problems each year. Most people come to find that alcoholism is noted as a disease. I’m here to tell you that it has been noted wrong. Alcoholism is not a disease, it can be affected by genes, but the genes alone do not cause it. Alcoholism is a choice, not a disease.

The environment affects alcoholism.

Alcoholism relates to mood, anxiety, and personal experiences. It has been found that people who carry the gene MAOA (monoamine oxidase A) have more of a risk of becoming an alcoholic if they were abused as a child. It takes not only the gene to influence the person to become an alcoholic, but also the trauma for the addiction to occur. According to Claudia Wallis’ article on genetic addictions, she states that researchers like to point out that “genes merely load the gun, while the environment pulls the trigger.” Without the

hands have produced this wealth for me.’ But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

“If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. Like the nations the Lord destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God.” We, as was the case with the Israelites, run the danger of not being dependent on God and believing we can do it all on our own. Because of the blessings we have received we believe that we are not accountable as a nation.

We develop the “it is mine” syndrome and pride and arrogance run rampant.

We as a nation can wake up and say, “Look what we have done, who needs God?” The Israelites were told that if they forgot the Lord their God and follow other gods, they will “surely be destroyed.” We forget the answer to the question, “Who is Lord?”

We can read this scripture and say “I am glad we are not Israel,” but God’s word to the Israelites rings down through the millenniums to us today.

lifestyle to influence the person’s mindset and choices the alcoholism would not be likely to form.

Genes said to prove alcoholism do not affect is specifically. ADLH2 is a gene known for making a person uncomfortable or ill drinking alcohol. This makes the person less likely to become addicted to alcohol, but does not make you form the addiction. ADH2 and ADH3 encode alcohol dehydrogenase that metabolizes alcohol to acetaldehyde. This also protects people from alcoholism. In addition to genes, chromosome 11, 4 and 5 are known to be hosts.

They carry the potential genes, which form the life factors which cause people to drink such as: stress, anxiety and wanting to take risks.

Treatments are unsuccessful, but genes can make it less likely for a person to potentially become an alcoholic. Differences in how a person handles the effects of drinking can influence risk to addiction. Someone who gets sick every time they consume alcohol is less likely to become an alcoholic than someone who does not become sick.

When it comes to treatment, many have false statistics. Ninety-five percent of people in AA leave the program in under a year.

The statistics used to influence people to join the program does not include dropouts.

Treatments which teach the disease method only have a 3 percent success rate, while programs that teach the choice method had an 86 percent success rate.

The only way to overcome being an alcoholic, or to stay away from being one, is to make the choice and have the will power.

Alcoholism is not a disease, it can be affected by genes, but the genes alone do not cause it. Again, it can be overcome by will power and a personal choice to improve yourself.

Sincerely, Cecilia Gonzalez Roswell

As we celebrate another national birthday, my challenge to you is to be a member of a country that conducts itself in a manner worthy of receiving God’s blessings. You and I are two people who make up this great nation called America. Are we doing our part?

Live your individual life in such a manner that you recognize we have historically been a blessed nation. Make your day-to-day decisions consistent with the citizens of a country that wants to be blessed by God. Maybe our leaders should end their addresses not with “God bless America,” but with “America, live lives worthy of being God blessed.”

No matter how much we as a nation want to be blessed by God, He wants to bless us more. God doesn’t change, but nations do.

The God given blessings we receive are up to us as Americans.

God bless America ... no really, God bless America.

Just a thought ...

Animal experimentation

Dear Editor: Animals should not be used for testing makeup in scientific experiments. Experimenting on animals is nothing but cruelty.

Not only is it abuse, but also a waste of money. A lot of animals die from all the experiments they do to them.

Animal testing is not only cruel, but also unnecessary. In many cases, animal studies do not just hurt animals, they harm and kill people too. The estimated number of animals being used for animal testing is bad science. The reason for that is because animals’ bodies do not react the same as they would for humans.

Animal experimentation has led to spending over $200 million, including the money from taxpayers. Thalmolide, Zomax and DES were all tested on animals and judged “safe,” but had consequences for the humans who tried it. In the past, drugs have been “safe” for animals, but harmful for humans. Relying on animal research has delayed the development of useful medicines.

Many household products and cosmetic companies have pumped their products into animals’ stomachs and rubbed them into their skin. Not only does testing cause harm and pain to animals, but it kills them.

With all this information gathered, proving animal experimentation is nothing but a waste of money and cruelty to animals.

What would you choose to do? Would you stop the testing on animals and help fight against the abuse? Most of the money from the taxpayers goes to the animal experiments. Would you agree that they should be used for repairing schools instead of using it to kill animals? If so, then take a stand and prevent animal experimentation.

Sincerely, Janette Esparza Dexter

Welcome to Roswell and Happy Fourth of July Roswell Daily Record

Welcome to Roswell!

Well here we are again!

It’s Fourth of July weekend and our city continues the now long-standing tradition of conducting the Roswell UFO Festival. If you have come to Roswell for this event, we are delighted that you are here. Certainly the Festival has become a signature activity for this community.

As any Roswellite can tell you, if you make a call to any part of the United States, it is quite likely that you will be asked about and maybe even kidded about your hometown. (Many of us have stock answers to those well-intended remarks.)

But Roswell has many other wonder ful advantages. We are 50,000 friendly folks in a wonderful day to day environment.

We have some extraordinary manufacturing businesses and a strong agricultural base. Our educational systems are good, both public and private, and Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell provides excellent learning opportunities. Our churches and faith-based institutions are readily available to all. As a long-term Roswell resident myself, I could probably continue on and on.

One of the frequent comments which I have made in this column over the

years is that Roswell and Chaves County, New Mexico is blessed with an environment which does not bring us horrible weather and the unfortunate devastation which so much of the nation has seen recently. We don’t have hurri-

Fourth of July events at Cielo Grande The Roswell Sertoma Club along with the City of Roswell Fire Department, Roswell Recreation and Parks Department, Police and Streets Departments have teamed up to sponsor the Roswell Sertoma Club Michael Satter field Memorial Fireworks Extravaganza.

The Elks will sponsor its annual Veterans Barbeque that is being held at their lodge. The purpose is to honor our area veterans and their families and to thank them for their service. The Veterans dinner portion of the event will be on July 4 from 4-7 p.m. at the Elks Lodge #969 located at 1720 N. Montana. This is an annual event designed to honor the “living veterans” along with the veterans who have left us and their families. Veterans are encouraged to stay and watch the Roswell Sertoma Club’s Mike Satterfield Fireworks Extravaganza out at Cielo Grande Recreation Area.

For more information on the Veteran’s Barbecque please contact Elks Lodge at 622-1560.

Free live concert and entertainment will kick off the festivities at the Cielo Grande Recreation Area starting at 5:30 p.m. on July 4.

4-5 p.m.- Winner of the UFO Festival’s Alien Battle of the Bands 5:30–6:30 p.m.-Chaves County Community Band & Youth Band. The band will perform a patriotic music selection along with the ageless favorites which is guaranteed to impress and entertain everyone.

7:30–9 p.m.-Roswell Jazz Band. The band will perform an upbeat lively selection of entertainment with a variety of tunes.

canes, floods have not occurred in many years, and tornadoes, although we have seen them much too close, have not destroyed huge quadrants of our city. Unfortunately, visitors to our fair city have come at a time when we are desperate for rain. It has been months and months since we have seen any measurable moisture.

That said, let me comment briefly in a safety frame of mind. This state is currently suffering from huge forest fires and wildfires in several areas of New Mexico. There is a fire working in the Hondo area, just a few miles west of Roswell. The mountains of

Ruidoso and Lincoln County are always at risk and have suffered greatly from fires in the recent past.

Meanwhile, the fire currently burning in Los Alamos has become the largest forest fire in the State of New Mexico’s history.

Please, please! As you visit our city and our state, keep foremost in your mind the ongoing danger of wildfires and of forest fire. You cannot be too careful. And, for readers who are local citizens, the same goes for us.

Finally, back to the UFO Festival, we appreciate the hard work which many of you have volunteered to continue this wonder ful

WASHINGTON (AP) — Help is on the way to consumers confused by the jumble of sun protection numbers, symbols and other claims on sunscreens. Starting next summer, consumers can start looking for SPF 15 bottles with the label “broad spectrum” and feel confident they’re being protected from an increased risk of cancer.

Currently, standards of protection apply only to one part of the sun’s spectrum, ultraviolet B rays, which cause sunburn. Under new rules they will also have to protect against the more penetrating ultraviolet A rays associated with skin cancer.

The guidelines, which spent more than 30 years in bureaucratic limbo, are designed to enhance the effectiveness of sunscreens.

The key takeaway for consumers: Look for a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 15 and above that also says “broad spectrum.” That’s the new buzzword from the Food and Drug Administration to describe a product that does an acceptable job blocking both types of damaging rays.

Starting next summer, sunscreens with less than an SPF of 15 or that aren’t “broad spectrum” will have to carry a warning label: “This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.”

“These changes to sunscreen labels are an important part of helping consumers have the information they need so they can choose the right sun protection for themselves and their families,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of

FDA’s drug division.

The new regulations require testing for the more dangerous ultraviolet A rays, which can penetrate glass and pose the greatest risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Now, the FDA only requires testing for ultraviolet B rays that cause sunbur n. That’s what the familiar SPF measure is based on.

Under the new rules: — The FDA will prohibit sunscreen marketing claims like “waterproof” and “sweatproof,” which the agency said “are exaggerations of performance.”

— The FDA also proposes capping the highest SPF value at 50, unless companies can provide results of further testing that support a higher number.

— FDA says manufacturers must phase out a fourstar system currently used by some companies to rate UVA protection.

In reviewing more than 3,000 comments submitted to the agency, the FDA decided the star system was too confusing. Instead, protection against UVA should be proportional to protection against UVB, which is already measured using SPF. The SPF figure indicates the amount of sun exposure needed to cause sunburn on sunscreen-protected skin compared with unprotected skin. For example, an SPF rating of 30 means it would take the person 30 times longer to burn wearing sunscreen than with exposed skin.

The rules were decades in the making.

FDA announced its

event. Greg and Pam Neal, Julie Shuster, Juliana Halvorson, and Rita Kane Doerhoeffer are four of the countless people who have worked so hard to make this thing work. We are grateful to all of you for your efforts!

New rules to cut confusion on sunscreens

intent to draft sunscreen rules in 1978 and published them in 1999. The agency delayed finalizing its guidelines for years until it could address issues concer ning both UVA and UVB protection.

Some consumer advocates complained that the agency’s final guidelines were less strict than draft proposals circulated over the years.

“About 20 percent of products that meet the new FDA standards could not be sold in Europe, where UVA standards are strict,” said David Andrews, senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group.

Many companies have already adopted some of the labeling outlined by the government. For example, all Coppertone products from Merck & Co.’s Schering-Plough unit and Neutrogena sunscreens from Johnson & Johnson already boast “broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.”

Most dermatologists recommend a broad spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every two hours while outside.

Last year an estimated 68,130 people in the U.S. were diagnosed with melanoma — the most dangerous form of skin cancer — and an estimated 8,700 died, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Nearly $2 billion is spent treating the disease each year.

Valley fire 30% contained Alaniz discusses ET ghosts MATTHEW ARCO RECORD STAFF WRITER

Crews continued to make progress Saturday battling against the Donaldson Fire in Lincoln County that swelled to nearly 90,400 acres since it broke out early Tuesday morning.

Officials reported 30 percent containment Friday evening and expected to get a better handle on the fire

by Saturday evening. Evacuations orders were lifted for some residents although 80 structures remained threatened by the blaze.

“Things seem to be going really well and hopefully we’ll see some more containment percentage,” said Annette Grijalva-Disert, a fire spokeswoman.

“There is not even a real breeze right now,” she said,

Saturday afternoon. “They are able to use the aircraft in keeping that burnout in check.”

According to New Mexico State Forestry data, the Donaldson Fire is the state’s fourth largest fire on record.

The currently active Las Conchas Fire in the Los Alamos area burned about 113,734 acres. It’s New Mexico’s largest wildfire.

The 2003 Dry Lakes Fire in the Gila National Forest burned about 94,580 acres and the McDonald Fire in southeast New Mexico burned about 92,000 acres in 2006, according to Dan Ware, spokesman for State Forestry.

The Donaldson Fire destroyed a home and six outbuildings, officials said.

The Donaldson complex and Game fires broke out at about 2 a.m., Tuesday.

The blazes later combined into one and scorched about 15,000 acres by nightfall.

By Wednesday morning, the blaze grew but was located in rough inaccessible terrain away from most residences.

Conditions quickly shifted Thursday after noon once winds picked up.

Donaldson Fire officials issued a smoke advisory impacting communities of Hondo, Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, Capitan, Lincoln, Picacho, Tinnie, San Patricio and other surrounding areas.

Humans dedicated to tribal warfare VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Stanton Friedman began his lecture, titled “UFOlogy in 2011,” with a question.

“What’s a nice nuclear physicist doing in ufology?”

Despite this contrast in subjects, Friedman was able to combine his background in nuclear physics with his knowledge in UFOs during his lecture at the Inter national UFO Museum and Research Friday.

He Center, explained the possibility of aliens visiting humans — or humans visiting aliens.

The possibility of space travel for either alien or human is a matter of technological progress. Friedman said that humans have not been technological for long, using radio, which has only been around for about a century, as an example. He added the progress humans have made tends to focus on efforts to kill one another.

An alien looking down on humanity, Friedman said, would see humans as primarily dedicated to tribal warfare. He mentioned the millions of dollars that are

spent on everything military as well as the fact that children around the world die each day from preventable diseases.

Aliens may have used technological innovations to make inter-stellar travel possible. Friedman said that humans have harnessed powerful elements such as hydrogen to create atomic bombs.

“That tells you a great deal about this planet,” Friedman said. “If you’re an alien, would you want humans out there?”

Friedman said it is likelier that aliens would travel to visit Earth and when they do, it is likely they would visit New Mexico.

To support this claim, Friedman said it is likely that alien civilizations have been around longer than humans and so have had more time to invent space travel.

“It’s likely they developed inter -stellar travel a long time ago,” Friedman said. If Earth is inhabited by beings prone to warfare, Friedman said it is likely that aliens out to study humans would visit the place with the most mili-

New Mexico is also where the first atomic bomb was tested. “(It’s) guaranteed, spies would come here,” Friedman said. v.kahin@roswell-record.com

SPORTS Roswell Daily Record

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — One might reasonably have expected Petra Kvitova, not Maria Sharapova, to be betrayed by nerves in the Wimbledon final.

This was, after all, Kvitova’s first Grand Slam championship match, while Sharapova already owned three major titles, including one from the All England Club. So Kvitova decided to pretend she was heading out on Centre Court to play in the fourth round.

That mindset worked. So, too, did nearly everything Kvitova tried once play began, particularly her big, flat left-handed groundstrokes that pushed Sharapova back on her heels. In a surprisingly lopsided final, Kvitova beat the higher -seeded, yet shakier, Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 Saturday to win Wimbledon for her first Grand Slam trophy.

“I was surprised how I was feeling on the court,” Kvitova said, “because I was focused only on the point and on the game and not on the final.”

If there were those who wondered how the eighthseeded Kvitova would handle the setting and the pressure, her coach did not.

Indeed, David Kotyza had

Petra Kvitova holds her trophy after defeating Maria Sharapova in the ladies' singles final at Wimbledon, Saturday.

an inkling his new pupil possessed the right stuff to win titles shortly after they began working together about 2 1/2 years ago.

That’s because he was wowed by the several pages of handwritten answers Kvitova supplied for a questionnaire he gave her back then — and has kept to

this day.

“I was really surprised about how she thinks about tennis, how clever she is. She told me her advantages, disadvantages, what she has to improve,” Kotyza said, then pointed a finger to his temple and added: “Her brain is a big advantage for this game.”

The early bird gets to run

When she was a kid growing up in Fulnek, Czech Republic — population: 6,000 — and practicing an hour or so after school each day, Kvitova didn’t count on becoming a professional tennis player.

She simply wasn’t that good, yet. Clearly, she’s a quick study.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS KLITSCHKO DEFEATS HAYE

HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — Wladimir Klitschko wanted to punish David Haye for all the trash talking he did leading up to their title fight. He settled for merely making Haye another statistic in his dominating heavyweight run.

Matched up against an opponent who didn’t fight nearly as well as he talked, Klitschko dominated from the opening bell Saturday night on his way to a lopsided decision win in a fight that did not live up to its advance hype.

“He was scared to fight me,” Klitschko said. “I was expecting more of a challenge in the ring, but he was super defensive.”

The win was the 14th straight for Klitschko and improved his record to 17-2 in title fights. More importantly, he captured Haye’s version of the heavyweight title, giving him and his brother, Vitali, all the major heavyweight title belts.

The two have long promised their mother they would never fight each other, but Vitali was in Wladimir’s corner and ready to celebrate with him after the win in a rainsoaked soccer stadium in Hamburg.

“We’re celebrating with my brother that we’ve collected all the belts in the heavyweight division,” Klitschko said. “It wasn’t as spectacular as I expected, but I was trying.”

Haye had been expected to give Klitschko one of his most difficult fights, but he fought sparingly, seemingly afraid to take punches to the head as part of the cost of getting inside against his larger opponent. Haye blamed a broken toe suffered three weeks before the fight, taking off his shoe in the ring afterward to show it off.

Before Wimbledon in 2010, Kvitova’s career record on grass was 0-4.

She is 16-2 on the slick surface since, including a run to the semifinals here last year before losing to Serena Williams.

Rockies down Royals

DENVER (AP) — Mark Ellis had three doubles in his second game with the Colorado Rockies, who also got a home run from Troy Tulowitzki in a 9-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.

Ellis, Todd Helton and Tulowitzki each drove in two runs for Colorado, which finished with a season-high nine extra-base hits. Helton hit his 543rd double in the eighth, tying him with Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn for 24th on the career list.

The Rockies acquired Ellis, along with cash, from Oakland on Thursday for a minor league pitcher and a player to be named later.

The veteran infielder had three hits and three RBIs in his Colorado debut Friday night, a 9-0 win over the

US gains World Cup quarters with 3-0 rout of Colombia

SINSHEIM, Germany (AP) — Anyone can sign autographs or pose for photos.

The U.S. women found a better way to say “thank you” to the American military members who turned their World Cup match into a home game.

The U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup with a 3-0 rout of Colombia on Saturday, delighting a sellout crowd made up almost entirely of American fans.

The team lined up for a military salute after Heather O’Reilly’s opening goal, and Megan Rapinoe grabbed a TV mic and sang “Born in the USA” after she scored.

“The troops came out to practice the other day, which was a fantastic envi-

ronment,” said Carli Lloyd, who scored the third goal.

“We thought it would be good to salute them. It was fun, something different.”

The two-time World Cup champions now play Sweden, one of two teams to beat them this year, on Wednesday in Wolfsburg to determine the Group C winner. The Americans and Sweden both have six See ROUT, Page B2

At 21, Kvitova is the youngest Wimbledon champion since — you guessed it — Sharapova was 17 in 2004. Kvitova is also the first Czech to win the tournament since Jana Novotna in 1998.

Plus, Kvitova is only the third left-handed woman to win the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. The last was Martina Navratilova, who won her ninth Wimbledon title in 1990, a few months after Kvitova was born.

“I’m thrilled for her. She played brave tennis, and she deserved to win. She was by far the better player,” said Navratilova, who was born in Czechoslovakia and sat near Novotna in the Royal Box on Saturday.

“I don’t think this is the only time she’ll win here.

It’s very exciting. A new star.”

That last phrase was being uttered by many people around the grounds after Kvitova managed to make Sharapova look rather ordinary.

Consider: Until Saturday, Sharapova had won all 12 sets she played over the last two weeks. But, as Sharapova’s coach Thomas Hogstedt summed up afterward: “One played well. The other didn’t play well.

Maria didn’t play as good as she can.”

That was, at least in part, Kvitova’s doing.

She compiled 19 winners, most by zipping her

points, but the U.S. leads the group on goal differential and can claim the top spot with a victory or a tie.

Colombia is a team on the rise, finishing fourth at the Under -20 World Cup last year. But this is its first World Cup appearance, and the youngsters were no match for the deeper, more experienced Americans. The U.S. harassed goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda relentlessly, forcing her to work more in this game than some goalkeepers will work all tournament.

She didn’t get much help from her backline, which was shredded by the speedy O’Reilly time and again.

“It’s a growing experience,” said defender Nataly Arias, who was born and raised in the Washington, D.C., area. “It was their size, their speed. They’re all

Royals.

Alex Gordon had four hits and two RBIs for Kansas City, which has dropped five straight. Wilson Betemit had a pinch-hit three-run homer in the fourth.

Royals starter Kyle Davies lasted just three

heavy forehands and backhands from the baseline, where her 6-foot frame and long arms helped her get to seemingly out-of-reach balls.

“She created of fensive opportunities from tough positions on the court,” Sharapova said. “Sometimes it’s just too good.”

Kvitova also broke Sharapova five times, anticipating where serves were headed.

It helped that Sharapova double-faulted six times, although at least those were fewer than the 13 the Russian hit in the semifinals.

“She performed incredible. Sometimes, when you don’t know what to expect and you don’t know how you’re going to feel, sometimes you play your best, because you have that feeling of nothing to lose,” said the fifth-seeded Sharapova, who was playing in a major final for the first time since right shoulder surgery in October 2008. “She went for it, absolutely.”

What really was odd was seeing the experienced and normally gritty Sharapova bothered by distractions such as the swarms of tiny greenflies that showed up Saturday or the occasional clap or yell that came from the stands during points.

Even more stunning was the way Sharapova crumpled at key moments. One example: She double-faulted twice in a row to lose serve and fall behind 4-2 in the first set. Sharapova tur ned her back to the court and gave herself a little lecture, then smacked big, they’re all fast, they’re all agile.”

And it could have been even worse for the Colombians. The Americans missed at least a halfdozen other chances, and had a whopping 27-12 advantage in shots. Abby Wambach missed so many chances she had little choice but to laugh at her misfortunes by the end of the game, and Rapinoe banged a shot off the crossbar.

Colombia did get four shots on goal, with their best chance coming in the 54th minute. Orianica Velasquez came in as a substitute, immediately got possession and took a shot, but Hope Solo punched it away.

“It’s a tough loss for us, obviously,” Arias said. “At the same time, I feel proud of what we did in this game.”

The Americans are feeling pretty good about themselves, too.

Though the U.S. is the innings in his first start since May 16. The righthander had been sidelined by right rotator cuff inflammation.

Davies (1-7) hurt himself with a throwing error during Colorado’s six-run second inning. Seth Smith had two hits and Ellis drove in a pair of runs with a double as the Rockies sent 11 men to the plate while building a 7-0 lead.

Petra Kvitova returns a shot to Maria Sharapova during the ladies' singles final at Wimbledon, Saturday.

herself on her left palm with her racket.

Kvitova — now 4-1 in tournament finals this year — broke again to begin the second set, capping that game with a running forehand that caught the back edge of the baseline. The women exchanged four consecutive breaks in the middle of that set, before Kvitova — not Sharapova — gathered herself.

Ahead 4-3, but trailing 15-30 while serving, Kvitova hit three straight service winners to get to 5-3.

“She served quite hard.

Her second serve was pretty big as well. She was going for it, for the second

serve,” Sharapova said. “I felt like I could have reacted a little bit better.”

Credit Kvitova also for being at her steadiest in the most resolve-testing moments. She served out both sets at love, including with a 105 mph ace on match point.

What was running through her head right then?

“I have to do it now,” she would say later.

After that last point — one last nerve-free point — Kvitova raised both arms, then dropped to her knees.

A raucous celebration ensued in her guest box, including some overzealous

top-ranked team in the world and the defending Olympic champion, it was Germany, not the Americans considered the favorite when the tournament began. They had dropped three games in a five-month span after going more than two years without a loss, and needed to win a two-game playoff with Italy just to get to Germany.

But the U.S. rolled through its first two games, and its confidence is growing with every win. Though Wambach has yet to score and the Americans are struggling to finish shots, their five goals have come from five different players.

“That’s a huge positive,” O’Reilly said.

O’Reilly made Colombia pay for its botched clearance of a goal kick in the 12th minute, jumping on the ball after it bounced off Liana Salazar. O’Reilly took a few steps and then blasted a right-footed shot from 25 yards that Sepulveda

had no chance to stop. It was O’Reilly’s third World Cup goal, and 30th overall.

“Pia’s always saying, ‘If you have space in front of you, just take it,”’ O’Reilly said. “I took a couple of touches and just let it fly.”

The crowd of 25,475 burst into cheers as the ball rolled around the upper corner of the net, and the players lined up for their salute. There is a U.S. Army base in nearby Mannheim, and about 350 service members and their families watched the team practice Thursday.

“We were really moved and inspired by the support they gave us,” O’Reilly said.

The Americans could have had another four or five goals just in the first half alone. But, just as they have much of the year, they struggled to finish. Wambach, one of the world’s best players in the air, misdirected one header wide and sent another soaring over the goal.

Greg Reynolds (3-0) made it through five innings for the Rockies, yielding five runs and eight hits.

Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to sub for Jhoulys Chacin, whose start was pushed back to Tuesday because of right forearm stiffness.

Gordon hit an RBI single off Rafael Betancourt in the ninth before Huston Street came on and got Jeff Fran-

coeur to pop up for the final out, earning his 24th save.

Colorado had scored 18 runs and rapped out 28 hits in the first two games of the series against Kansas City, improving to 8-6 in interleague play.

Francoeur had an RBI triple for the Royals, who dropped to 4-13 against the National League. Davies dropped to 0-6 with an 8.25 ERA in his last six starts.

NOTES: Helton has 920 extra-base hits, tying him with Hall of Famer Willie McCovey for 55th on the career list. ... Rockies pitcher Esmil Rogers is scheduled to throw one more bullpen session and a simulated game before making a rehab appearance with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday. ... The Royals signed Elier Hernandez, a 16-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic.

The deal includes a $3.05 million signing bonus, a franchise record for an international player other than a Cuban defector. ...

Royals pitcher Luke Hochevar, a Denver native, will make his Coors Field debut Sunday. ... To make room for Reynolds, the Rockies optioned pitcher Edgmer Escalona to Colorado Springs, one day after recalling him.

chest-bumping that left one man knocked off his feet.

Kvitova’s allotted seats were completely filled — with her coach, parents, two brothers and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, among others — while Sharapova’s section had only her agent, coach, hitting partner and fiance, New Jersey Nets guard Sasha Vujacic.

“When you lose in the final, you feel like the biggest loser in a way, but Maria is on the right track.

She’s working hard,” Vujacic said. “She needed a lot of time to come back, and I think if she stays on the same road, there are

many good things ahead of us.”

Now there will be similar expectations of Kvitova.

Kotyza, her coach, said Kvitova’s best quality probably is that “she’s just an ordinary girl. She’s standing with both feet on the ground. And I think it’s very, very important for ... these matches. Because she’s ‘OK, just hit the ball, and we will see.”’

Asked after Saturday’s victory when she first realized she might one day win a Grand Slam title, Kvitova smiled, tucked some strands of hair behind her ear and replied: “Probably yesterday.”

Rangers fall to Marlins ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Hanley Ramirez hit a grand slam and solo shot for a career high-tying five RBIs, helping the Florida Marlins overcome Josh Hamilton’s two homers to beat the Texas Rangers 95 Saturday night.

Logan Morrison also homered for the Marlins, 5-6 since Jack McKeon took over as interim manager on June 20.

Both starters failed to last four innings in a game that began in 100degree heat.

Florida rookie Brad Hand lasted 3 1-3 innings

and Texas’ Derek Holland was unable to get out of the first.

The Marlins recalled Hand from Double-A Jacksonville for the start.

When he walked two of the first three batters he faced in the fourth, McKeon brought in Steve Cishek despite Florida’s 6-2 lead.

Hand allowed two runs and four hits with three walks.

Cishek (1-1) gave up three runs — two earned — and two hits in 2 2-3 innings for his first big league victory.

Watney, Fowler share lead at Aronimink

215 215 215 215 217 219 220

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Before he even teed off, Rickie Fowler knew this was going to be a different day at the AT&T National. The course record already had been matched, with several other low rounds in progress at suddenly soft Aronimink Golf Club.

One thought crossed his mind: Go time.

That’s the message Fowler always puts on Twitter right before he plays, and off he went. He birdied six of his opening 10 holes — and missed two other chances inside 10 feet. He wound up with a 6-under 64 on Saturday and a share of the lead with Nick Watney, who set the course record with a 62.

“I got out, and my game has been feeling good all week,” Fowler said. “Went out and started off well, hit some good shots and kept moving from there.”

Watney took a while to get moving. He made a mess of the par-5 ninth and was even-par on the front nine, going nowhere.

What happened after that, not even Watney can explain.

“The hole looked really big on the back,” said Watney, a World Golf Championship winner. “The ball was going where I was looking, and by the time I looked up, I was 8 under.”

That’s 8 under for his round, and the back nine alone.

After three straight birdies, he then made a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th.

Facing a dangerous pin on the par-3 17th, he went after it with a wedge to 5 feet and another birdie. Watney shot 27 on the back, missing by one the PGA Tour’s nine-hole record.

When the massacre of Aronimink was over — 40 of 76 players shot in the 60s, including 14 rounds at 66 or better — nothing had really been settled except for a lot of birdies being made.

Fowler and Watney were at 9-under 201, one shot ahead of 36-hole leader K.J. Choi, who came to life late in his round with two birdies on the final three holes to salvage a 69.

Steve Marino, who had a 63 to own the course record for about 20 minutes, was two shots behind at 7-under 205 along with Webb Simpson (64) and Adam Scott (66).

The group another shot back included Chris Kirk, whose 63 was in the record book much longer — about an hour.

Scott was tempted to start firing at flags when he saw all low scores, but stuck to his plan and meticulously worked his way around the golf course.

“I’m quite happy with a 66, to be honest,” Scott said. “But yeah, it doesn’t really stack up against a 62, does it?”

For all the hype over the fashionable Fowler, the 22-year-old hasn’t won on the PGA Tour in 46 starts as a pro. He gave himself another chance at Aronimink.

But he isn’t the only player going for his first win. Eight of the top 12 players on the leaderboard have yet to win on the PGA Tour.

Marino is regarded as among the best to have never collected a PGA Tour trophy, and he and Simpson — also winless on tour — could have even more at stake Sunday. The leading player among the top five not already eligible will be exempt for the British Open. Marino and Simpson also are battling for a higher ranking to see who will be the top alternate — which becomes more significant with Tiger Woods not expected to compete at Royal St. George’s.

Watney, the highest-ranked player at Aronimink at No. 15 in the world, didn’t figure to be part of the mix when he ended his front nine with back-to-back bogeys. He birdied his next two holes, then played a five-hole stretch in 6 under capped by his

Sunday, July 3, 2011

birdie on the 17th.

“I guess anything is possible,” Watney said. “But I don’t think you ever expect to shoot that low. You don’t go on to the golf course very often anticipating a 62.”

Certainly not this golf course.

In the opening round Thursday, only four of the holes average under par. On Saturday, with softer greens, tees moved forward and some hole locations that allowed shots to funnel toward the pin, half of the holes played under par.

Not everyone took advantage.

Chris Riley, playing in the last group with Choi, wound up with a 75. Justin Leonard and Bo Van Pelt each had a 71 to fall five shots behind, although they are still very much in the game.

Mark Russell, a vice president of competition in charge of setting up the course, said the watering pattern didn’t change and attributed the soft conditions to more humidity in the air. It doesn’t figure to change much for the final round, with storms in the forecast. The starting times for Sunday where moved up to try to avoid any weather delays.

Watney’s last win was his biggest — a big drive on the 18th hole of the Blue Monster at Doral for a birdie and a two-shot win, proving to himself that he could deliver key shots under pressure.

Fowler is trying to draw on the experience of being a runner-up. He had two good chances last year, laying up on a par 5 late in his round in Phoenix, then losing a lead at the Memorial when he hit a tee shot into the water on the par-3 12th hole.

“I think the biggest thing is just go out and be patient, not get ahead of myself and not get too excited or anxious, just sit back, relax, go through things the same way tonight and just go have some fun tomorrow,” Fowler said.

Yankees top Mets, White Sox shut down Cubs

NEW YORK (AP) — Bartolo Colon pitched six shutout innings in his return from the disabled list and Eduardo Nunez had another big game at the plate, leading the New York Yankees past the Mets 5-2 on Saturday for their season-best seventh consecutive victory.

Jose Reyes left after two innings with tightness in his left hamstring, taking the starch out of the suddenly slumping Mets. After setting a club record by scoring 52 runs in a fourgame stretch, they have managed only five while losing their past three.

Held scoreless for the first five innings, the Yankees touched up rookie Dillon Gee (8-2) with four straight sharp hits in a four-run sixth before a Citi Field-record crowd of 42,042.

Curtis Granderson lifted a 1-2 pitch to right for his 22nd home run before Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez singled. Robinson Cano ripped a two-run triple into the right-field cor ner, cracking a wide smile as he stood on third, and Nick Swisher followed with a sacrifice fly.

Nunez added a solo homer off Tim Byrdak in the ninth to make it 5-0.

Filling in for injured Derek Jeter at shortstop, Nunez also had a pair of doubles after going 4 for 4 with an RBI in Friday night’s 5-1 victory.

The only time the Mets retired him it took a spectacular, diving catch by second baseman Justin Turner.

The sixth-inning outburst provided more than enough support for the 38-year-old Colon (6-3), who picked up right where he left off in his first start since June 11.

The husky right-hander strained his left hamstring in a 4-0 victory over Cleveland while covering first base on a groundout.

Colon was on his game from the outset in this one, setting down 13 in a row after Reyes reached on an infield single to start the first. Throwing 95 mph fastballs with his revitalized arm, the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner struck out six and walked none. He gave up five hits, four singles, and clapped his pitching hand into his glove after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the fifth when Gee bounced into a double play.

Cory Wade tossed two scoreless innings and Sergio Mitre gave up RBI groundouts to Jason Bay and Lucas Duda in the ninth.

The Mets said Reyes felt tightness in his hamstring while beating out his infield single in the first and was removed as a precaution in

the top of the third. Ruben Tejada replaced him at shortstop.

Reyes has been one of baseball’s best players this season. He began the day leading the majors with a .352 batting average, 123 hits and 15 triples. He also led the NL with 65 runs scored. The speedy switchhitter can become a free agent after the World Series.

Reyes has a history of leg injuries that limited the leadoff man to 53 games in 2004 and 36 games in 2009.

The Yankees improved to 13-4 in interleague play, the best mark in the majors. Their entire sevengame winning streak has come against NL teams, and they have won seven series in a row since getting swept at home by Boston from June 7-9.

Freddy Garcia pitches Sunday as the Yankees go for a Subway Series sweep.

R.A. Dickey is on the mound for the Mets, who fell to 1-4 against their crosstown rivals this season.

White Sox 1, Cubs 0 CHICAGO (AP) — Phil Humber, backed by strong defense, pitched shutout ball for seven innings and Juan Pierre singled in the only run Saturday, lifting the Chicago White Sox past the Cubs.

Humber (8-4), who made the team in spring training and has become the White Sox’s most consistent starter, allowed five singles and is now 5-1 in his last six starts.

He won a duel with Matt Garza, who held the White Sox hitless for 5 1-3 innings before Pierre singled. Garza (4-7) yielded only four singles in his first complete game with the Cubs and seventh of his career.

Cubs manager Mike Quade was ejected in the second inning for arguing a call at second on one of three double plays turned by the White Sox in the first three innings. Quade was tossed by second base umpire Paul Emmel after apparently protesting that White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham didn’t touch the bag on a pivot before relaying to first.

Matt Thornton pitched a perfect eighth and ninth for his third save in seven chances.

The White Sox have now beaten the Cubs 15 times in their last 20 meetings and are 4-1 this season.

The Indians are 5-0 against their intrastate rival, one win away from the first sweep in the interleague series’ history.

Carmona fell hard while running out a grounder in the third inning, leaving the game with a strained right thigh. Herr mann (1-0) retired nine of the 10 batters he faced.

Brantley followed Carmona’s fall with his first homer in nearly a month off Homer Bailey (3-3).

Phillies 5, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO (AP) — Roy Halladay pitched an eighthitter against his former team to win his sixthstraight decision, Chase Utley hit a go-ahead home run and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 26th home run, but the Blue Jays still lost for the 10th time in 13 home games.

Halladay (11-3), who took the mound in the bottom of the first to a standing ovation from the crowd of 44,078, spent the first 12 years of his career with the Blue Jays before being traded to Philadelphia in December 2009.

Philadelphia trailed 3-2 when Utley greeted reliever Luis Perez with a two-run homer to right in the seventh, his fourth.

The left-handed Perez (11) allowed one run and three hits in one inning.

Brewers 8, Twins 7 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pinch-hitter George Kottaras capped a four -run ninth inning with a goahead RBI single that gave the Milwaukee Brewers an 8-7 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

The Twins blew a 7-0

lead that they built on 13 hits in four innings. They had one hit the rest of the way.

Trailing 7-4, Milwaukee had three straight singles to open the ninth against Matt Capps (2-4). Nyjer Morgan then hit a two-out double high off the right-field wall to score the tying runs.

Morgan scored when Kottaras’ grounder went through the hole between second baseman Alexi Casilla and the bag.

Takashi Saito (1-1) pitched an inning of scoreless relief and John Axford pitched the ninth for his 21st save in 23 chances.

NEW YORK (AP) — This year’s Fourth of July race to stuff your face with hot dogs has a new womenonly pigout.

Sonya Thomas, known as The Black Widow of competitive eating, set a women’s world record July 4, 2009, by stuffing 41 hot dogs into her 105-pound frame in 10 minutes.

Thomas and eight other women will compete Monday on Coney Island just before the men’s stomachchurning Nathan’s Famous hot dog feast, which this year again features world champion Joey Chestnut, nicknamed Jaws. The 27year -old from San Jose, Calif., ate his way to a fourth consecutive championship last year by downing 54 dogs for the $20,000 purse.

Notably absent again this year is his chief rival, Takeru Kobayashi, who held the world record for hot dog eating from 2001 to 2007 but plans his own eating contest on a Manhattan rooftop seven miles

away.

Three Chinese contenders flew in from Beijing to join the competition, which will be televised live on ESPN. Although women don’t compete directly against men in most sports, master of ceremonies George Shea said, Thomas has beaten Chestnut in the past. She ate 181 chicken wings to his 169 during the National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo last September.

Nathan’s of ficials say they feel that women champions like the diminutive Thomas and Juliet Lee, also weighing about 105 pounds, “are not getting full exposure for their accomplishments; we’re selling them short.” Chestnut weighs in at 200-plus pounds.

Hence, the added competition on the same stage as the men.

The female competition will start at 11:30 a.m.

About 40,000 spectators this year will enjoy state-ofthe-art Italian-made rides

Henry Lusk

Henry Lusk passed away on June 30, 2011, at the age of 89. Henry was born Oct. 30, 1921, on the family farm just outside Hagerman, becoming the 12th child in a very unique family. Both his parents were widowed at the time of their marriage. Henry was the first of six children born to this blended family. At the time of his birth he joined four halfbrothers and two halfsisters from his dad’s side of the family, the children of Oliver and Sina Lusk. There were four halfbrothers and one halfsister from his mother’s side, the children of Florence and Allen Harris.

At the age of 16, he left home, joining his oldest brother doing farm work, digging earthen tanks on ranches, and building irrigation reservoirs on farms from Roswell to Artesia using teams of horses and fresnoes. In 1940, at 18 years of age, he married Vera Lee Hefner at the Chaves County Courthouse. In 1945, he moved his wife and daughter to Floyd, where he rented his parents’ farm and farmed for two years before moving back to the Pecos Valley.

After moving to Roswell in April 1947, he bought a set of carpenter’s tools and embarked on a new occupation that he followed for the next 38 years. He worked for Brackeen Construction Co. for 30 years, serving as foreman more than 20. He supervised the construction of custom homes in the Roswell area, in Artesia, Carrizozo, Ruidoso, Tatum and on numerous far ms and ranches in the surrounding area as well as the housing and shop buildings for the fish hatchery on the Apache Reservation at

Mescalero; commercial buildings including the Broadmoor Shopping Center, Roswell Chamber of Commerce building, Valley Bank of Commerce, Fire Station No. 3 on North Garden, Wise Choice Real Estate Office, Fat Man’s Beef Jerky, the Roswell Girl’s Club, the Carrizozo Elementary School and the Carrizozo Fire Station.

Upon retirement in 1987, Henry and Vera traveled extensively, towing a series of travel trailers through almost every state in the nation, visiting museums and various family members from both sides of their extended family. They established a tradition of spending the month of August each year camping in the Mayhill area, where they made many new friends.

When Henry and Vera moved to Roswell in 1947, they established membership in North Hill Church of Christ, which would later become West Alameda Church of Christ. They both remained active members of this congregation as long as their health permitted.

He is survived by one brother Wendell Lusk and his wife Reva, and one sister Corine Lusk Buckelew, both of Medford, Ore. Also surviving are two children, Helen Lusk McDonald and her husband Louis, of Roswell; their three sons, Ceyl and Cara McDonald, of Bandera, Texas; Kelly and Angela McDonald and their children, Kate and Jack; and Chris and Lisa McDonald and son Justin, all of Roswell.

His son, Earl Lusk and his wife Betty, and their two sons, Jeremy and Kim Lusk, and daughters, Natalie and Brenna; and Josh and Kelli Lusk and son Kaleb are all Roswell residents.

Henry was preceded in death by his wife Vera; his parents; eight brothers, Elvin Lusk, Wesley Lusk, Arthur Lusk, Wilbur n Lusk, Ernest Harris, Travis Harris, Dennis Harris and Lewis Harris; seven sisters, Roma Lusk Smith, Lillian Lusk Evans, Belma Lusk, Leora Harris Meyers, Inez Lusk Campbell, Birdie Lusk and T ressie Lusk Crossland.

Memorial services are scheduled for 10 a.m., Tuesday, July 5, 2011, at West Alameda Church of Christ with burial following immediately in South Park Cemetery. His five grandsons and one great grandson will serve as pallbearers.

The family is grateful to the staff of La Villa Assisted Living and Memory Care of Roswell, for the care and attention Henry has received in recent months.

Coney Island hot dog contest adds women’s event that are part of the redevelopment of the People’s Playground, the Brooklyn neighborhood by the boardwalk that fell into seedy disrepair in recent years after serving as an escape for generations of Americans.

Last summer, Luna Park kick-started the renewal, which is part of New York mayor Michael Bloomberg’s vision of tur ning the seafront into an amusement and entertainment mecca with restaurants, movie theaters, retail stores and hotels.

Coney Island is the birthplace of fast food. The first dog was sold there around 1870 by German butcher Charles Feltman. His competitive, Polish-bor n employee, Nathan Handwerker, opened his own Coney Island business in 1916. Nathan’s Famous is still the backdrop for the contest that started that year.

According to local lore, immigrant men started the competition after arguing

about who was most American, settling their dispute by trying to out-eat each

The eaters have come a

NATO: More airstrikes in western Libya TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — NATO said Saturday it has begun ramping up its airstrikes on military targets in the wester n part of Libya, where rebel forces claim a string of advances through territory still largely under Moammar Gadhafi’s control.

Gadhafi’s regime is determined to stand firm against opposition fighters moving from southern and eastern fronts toward the capital Tripoli. The rebels have largely solidified control over the eastern third of Libya but have struggled to push out of pockets they hold in the west.

In a boost for Gadhafi, meanwhile, the African Union called on member states to disregard an arrest warrant issued by the Inter national Criminal Court against the Libyan leader. This could enable Gadhafi to travel freely on the continent. The warrant was issued for his alleged role in a brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters earlier this year.

NATO’s comments about its latest airstrikes suggest the alliance is hoping to tip the balance further in the rebels’ favor despite threats by Gadhafi to carry out attacks in Europe unless the airstrikes stop.

The coalition said it has destroyed more than 50 military targets in the west this week. It says it is targeting government forces in cities and along “major lines of communication.”

“We are engaging all military assets that are being used to indiscriminately target the civilian population throughout Libya,” Lt.

Gen. Charles Bouchard, commander of NATO’s Libya mission, said in the statement sent Saturday but dated the previous day.

NATO said more than 1.8 million civilians are at risk from a buildup of forces loyal to Gadhafi in western cities along the coast and in the Nafusa mountain range southwest of the capital.

Rebels control several Nafusa mountain towns and the vital port city of Misrata. The rest of western Libya, including the heavily protected capital Tripoli, remain under Gadhafi’s control.

Col. Ahmed Bani, a rebel spokesman, said Saturday that rebel fighters have pulled back in some parts of the west, in what he described as a “strategic retreat,” but said they would go on the offensive again in the coming days. Asked about the NATO attacks in the area, he said they have been helpful to the rebels, but did not elaborate.

Bani told a news conference in the rebel-controlled eastern city of Benghazi that the rebels are not sending reinforcements to the west and that the fighters there don’t need more weapons.

A coalition including France, Britain and the United States began striking Gadhafi’s forces under a United Nations resolution to protect civilians on March 19, giving the rebels air support.

NATO assumed control of the air campaign over Libya on March 31. It is joined by a number of Arab allies.

In recent days, NATO said it has repeatedly hit T ripoli and Gharyan, a city at the eastern

gateway to the Nafusa mountains and on a major road to the capital. Gharyan sits about 50 miles south of Tripoli.

It also claims to have struck a network of tunnels storing military equipment about 30 miles southeast of the capital.

NATO said in a separate statement it struck two armed vehicles Friday near Bir al-Ghanam, a town rebels from the mountains have been trying to take along a road leading toward the capital.

Gadhafi threatened Friday to target European “homes, offices, families” unless NATO halts its bombing campaign. His defiant audio address was played to thousands of supporters packed into Tripoli’s main square during

one of the biggest pro-government rallies since the airstrikes began.

It’s not clear whether Gadhafi can make good on the threats.

In the past, the Libyan leader supported various militant groups, including the IRA and several Palestinian factions, while Libyan agents were blamed for attacks in Europe, including a Berlin disco bombing in 1986 and the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people, mostly Americans. Libya later acknowledged responsibility for Lockerbie.

In recent years, however, Gadhafi was believed to have severed his ties with extremist groups when he moved to reconcile with Europe and the United States.

US millions fund Sudan army; worries over abuses

JUBA, Sudan (AP) — Only six years ago the Sudan People’s Liberation Army was a ragtag group of guerrilla fighters battling a bloody civil war with Sudan’s north. Next weekend, when the south breaks away and becomes the world’s newest country, the SPLA becomes a national army.

The U.S. is investing tens of millions of dollars into this fledgling military, one that is massing troops on the internal north-south border as tensions — and violence — with the north rise. SPLA troops are battling rebel militias in hotspots around the south, and fears of renewed war with the north remain high.

But international rights groups say those soldiers have been responsible for human rights abuses, including killings.

U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, who sponsored a law that prohibits the U.S. from giving assistance to foreign military units that violate human rights, says he is concerned about reports of abuses.

The State Department is giving nearly $100 million in yearly assistance to train and support the SPLA, and it says it is monitoring the behavior of the for mer guerrilla fighters.

But monitoring the 140,000-plus-member army of a developing nation the size of Texas is a nearly impossible task, opening the way for abuses.

In April, a 700-member battalion of SPLA Commandos — the most highly trained of the SPLA’s fighters — fired indiscriminately on unarmed men, women and children during an attack on a rival ethnic group at a remote Nile River village in Jonglei state, killing or wounding hundreds of civilians, according to witness accounts in a confidential U.N. report.

After an inquiry from Congress, the State Department investigated and found that no U.S. assistance is being given to the two commanders named in the U.N. report or to the commando unit as a whole.

The State Department said it would exclude those involved from receiving future assistance until an investigation proves they were not involved in violations.

“The Leahy Law serves a vital purpose in seeking to ensure that U.S. aid does not go to foreign military and police forces who commit heinous crimes,” Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, told The Associated Press. “I am concer ned with the reports of abuses

by Souther n Sudanese troops and expect the law to be applied vigorously and consistently.”

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International on Thursday released a report that urged the new souther n gover nment to prosecute and prevent abuses by southern security forces.

The report noted that since the south’s independence vote in January, “soldiers have been responsible for grave human rights abuses, including unlawful killings of civilians and looting and destruction of civilian property.”

“The government needs to demonstrate its commitment to combat a growing culture of impunity for abuses by its security forces,” Daniel Bekele, director of the Africa division of Human Rights Watch said. “It should make sure that rank-andfile soldiers and their officers, as well as the police service, know and understand their obligations, and are held accountable for violations.”

Since Sudan’s decadeslong civil war ended in 2005 — a war in which some 2 million people died — the U.S. government has given more money than any other to programs aimed at professionalizing the SPLA. According to research by the Open Society Foundations, the Obama administration is requesting nearly $160 million in assistance to the ar med forces in Southern Sudan for fiscal year 2012.

Souther n Sudan becomes a new country on July 9.

Sudan experts say a responsible and professional southern army will be essential to improving security in the vast and underdeveloped south, where basic principles of rule of law and justice have yet to be upheld and enforced by southern security forces.

Violence is high in the south already. According to the U.N.’s latest statistics,

Afghan attacks kill 18

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A roadside bomb ripped through a van carrying a family Saturday in southern Afghanistan, killing all on board — the deadliest incident in a string of attacks that killed 18 civilians, according to officials.

The Ministry of Interior said four women and two children were among 13 people killed in the van in Shamulzayi district of Zabul province.

In neighboring Kandahar province, two civilians riding a donkey were killed Friday night when the animal stepped on a bomb in Maruf district, said Gen. Abdul Raziq, police chief of the district’s province of Kandahar.

When villagers came to recover the bodies, another roadside bomb went of f killing two more civilians, he said.

Greece arrests captain in Gaza-bound flotilla

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities have arrested the captain of a boat that is part of a Gazabound flotilla trying to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory, officials said Saturday.

The 60-year-old captain, whose name was not released by authorities, was being held at Piraeus police headquarters and will remain there until a court hearing Tuesday.

Greece’s coast guard said the captain of “The Audacity of Hope” faces charges of trying to leave port without permission and of endangering the lives of the boat’s passengers. The latter charge is a felony.

The boat was carrying 36 passengers, four crew and about 10 members of the media. Its attempt to sail Friday night from the port of Perama, near Athens, was thwarted by coast guard speedboats. On the same day, Greece had announced it was banning vessels heading to Gaza from leaving Greek ports.

Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Army line up to cast their votes in Juba, Southern Sudan, Jan. 9. local conflicts such as cattle-raiding and battles between rebel militias and the SPLA have claimed more than 1,800 lives this year.

The U.S. assistance is to help the SPLA develop logistics, engineering abilities, medical, and command and control abilities.

A State Department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity told AP by email that the support is intended to “transform” the SPLA “from a guerrilla force into a standing army under civilian control and respectful of international humanitarian law.”

The official, who was not allowed to be quoted according to State Department rules, said that U.S.funded training “includes a component on respect for human rights and respect for rule of law.”

The of ficial confir med that a current State Department contract to PAE, an American military contractor, provides provisions, salaries, and limited logistical support for Ethiopian forces who are training southern forces in a remote ar my training camp called New Kush, nestled in the Imatong Mountains on Souther n Sudan’s border with Uganda.

New Kush has proven to be a problem for U.N. human rights investigators, who have sought access to the camp for more than two years to follow up on allegations by community members living near the training camp that southern troops had taken young women from the nearby village as “wives” and that rape and other abuses were

occurring inside the site.

Although U.N. staff from the mission’s child protection unit were allowed to visit New Kush in February 2010 as part of a delegation led by the southern army’s own child protection division, no independent investigations of the human rights conditions inside the camp have been conducted since the U.N. mission was established after the civil war ended in 2005.

Since 2006, the New Kush camp has been used for training the SPLA’s special forces — or Commando units, the same forces involved in the Jonglei civilian deaths. Both international trainers, Wester n contractors and consultants, and Ethiopian troops — all funded through State Department programs —

have worked at New Kush.

The State Department of ficial told the AP on Thursday that the “commando training conducted by the Ethiopians focuses on professional military tactics and specialized skills.”

But the SPLA has a lot of growing up to do as the world’s youngest national military. In a report last November by the Small Arms Survey and authored

by Richard Rands, whose own British company Burton Rands previously was subcontracted through U.S.-funded PAE contracts, the author concluded that an “overarching strategy” for the long-term transformation of the SPLA from a guerrilla movement to a conventional army “has not yet emerged.”

MADRID (AP) — An explosion at an arms factory in central Spain used mainly to dismantle cluster bombs killed one person Saturday and wounded four others, one of them seriously, an official said.

Two rescue helicopters were deployed to the factory just outside the town of El Gordo in Castilla-La Mancha, 110 miles west of Madrid, and a wounded person was flown to Getafe hospital in the capital, a regional Interior Ministry spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity in keeping with ministry rules.

Three people were taken to a hospital in Navalmoral de la Mata, a nearby town in the neighboring region of Extremadura, and roads to the factory had been closed off by local Civil Guard officers, state television said.

The cause of the explosion was under investigation.

Monaco’s prince weds bride in lavish ceremony Roswell Daily Record

MONACO (AP) — Monaco’s Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene promised each other love and fidelity in an extravagant religious wedding Saturday attended by international celebrities and royalty, bringing new allure to the tiny principality known for its luxurious casinos and as stomping ground for the rich and famous.

The Catholic service followed an intimate civil ceremony Friday, which saw Charlene officially transformed from commoner into royalty. The marriage of the 53-year-old prince and the 33-year-old Charlene Wittstock, a one-time Olympic swimmer from South Africa who is now known as Princess Charlene, ended a three-decade wait for a new princess.

The last wedding of a ruling prince in Monaco was in 1956, when Hollywood star Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III. Saturday’s ceremony was attended by guests including former James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and bohemian designer Roberto Cavalli, of Italy. Thousands of Monegasque citizens cheered the proceedings while watching on large screens set up outside the palace, where both ceremonies were held.

However, you will get an energy surge late today that could carry you into the wee hours. You might find what someone is asking difficult to give right now. Be spontaneous in the afternoon. Tonight: Whatever feels like fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Speak your mind, and others will respond accordingly. Still, you might want to discuss an issue that has been vaguely undermining you.

Visualize greater clarity within your immediate environment. Tonight: First talking up a storm, then celebrating as you rarely do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be taken aback by how someone else handles financial situations. It might not be your style, but avoid getting into a conflict. Just don’t unite finances with this person in any way, shape or form. Both of you will be happier. Tonight: Visit and party away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know what you want, but someone seems to be misreading what you say. This issue might not be a problem stemming from you, but from the other person. Remain easygoing. Someone you meet might be less than what he or she projects. Tonight: T reat yourself to a fun evening.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You might trip yourself up all day long if you don’t follow your instincts. Be aware of what is happening around you.

Charlene swept along the red carpet leading into the palace on her father’s arm.

In her sumptuous boat neck gown by Giorgio Armani Prive, her hair pulled back in a swirling French twist and with only the lightest touch of makeup, she seemed to channel some of Grace’s effortless elegance.

Throughout the ceremony, which lasted an hour and a half, both bride and groom wore demure expressions, their eyes mostly downcast. Only as they took their vows and exchanged rings did the solemn facade crack: As they slipped on the 18 carat white gold Cartier rings onto each other’s fingers, Albert — in a white military uniform — shot her a wink, and Charlene cracked a broad, sincere smile.

The tears flowed freely down the new princess’ face after the ceremony, as she left her bouquet of lilies of the valley and other white blossoms at the Sainte Devote church — a tradition in Monaco.

With photographers shouting for the attention of the A-list guests as they streamed into the palace, the wedding had something of the flavor of a star-studded red carpet at the film festival in neighboring Cannes.

JACQUELINE BIGAR YOUR HOROSCOPE

Try to emphasize the positive. Someone you care about goes out of his or her way for you. Express your appreciation. Tonight: You get a sudden energy surge.

Go for what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Emphasize the long-term effects of a particular situation. You might not be as confident as you would like others to think you are. You still have a very strong projection.

Someone you respect is in your corner. Tonight: Want to vanish? Do it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you want to explore an option, don’t allow anyone to stop you.

You will notice that many people are surprised by your willingness to take a risk. Your openness speaks volumes; others naturally choose to follow your lead.

Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) Keep reaching out for others, especially if you don’t see them often. Enjoy the holiday, and surround yourself with music and great company. Don’t do what you normally do. Break from tradition. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) Relate directly with those you come into contact with.

Most people want to feel important. You have a way and style that creates those types of feelings in others, if you use it. Remain sensitive to those around you.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others; you will have a better time.

Your relaxed attitude draws someone closer to you. Be careful about not projecting your issue on others. A key friend or loved one needs more personal time with you. Tonight: Loving the

Moore, a longtime Monaco resident and a former James Bond, lent a touch of secret agent glamour. The carpet might as well have been a catwalk for British model Naomi Campbell and Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova — or for Chanel designer Karl Lager feld, who cut a mean figure in his skintight suit.

Royal guests included the kings of Sweden and Belgium and Denmark’s crown princess. Prince Karim Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of the world’s Ismaili Muslims, and Empress Farah Pahlavi, wife of Iran’s deposed shah, chatted with former French first lady Bernadette Chirac inside the palace.

The last guest to enter according to protocol, Sarkozy, elicited extensive applause and hoots of approval in what was likely the warmest welcome the French leader, whose popularity ratings hover at record lows, has received in a long time.

The most enthusiastic welcome was reserved for the bride and members of the Grimaldi family, one of Europe’s oldest dynasties.

Her daughter, Charlotte Casiraghi, was breathtaking in a pink off-the-shoulder cocktail dress by Chanel.

While Charlene — whose

name is now officially written with an accent to give it a more French resonance — wore a blue ensemble of her own design to Friday’s civil ceremony, she opted for one

of her longtime favorite designers, Armani, for Saturday’s wedding gown. The “petites mains” or seamstresses of his haute couture atelier put more than 2,500 hours of work into the dress, a strong-lined, made-to-measure concoction of more than 130 meters (about 140 yards) of different silks, 40,000 Swarovski crystals and 20,000 mother of pearl beads.

The 5 meter - (6 yard-) long train — which dwarfed the demure little train at the summer’s other royal wedding, that of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton — proved difficult to negotiate. At one point, Charlene got stuck and Albert had to tug at the long silk flourish to free her.

Mike Satterfield Memorial

Fireworks Extravaganza MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF LAURIE JERGE It’s that time of year when the warm summer sky glitters and shines in multiple colors as the community gathers at Cielo Grande.

This is the time when the men and women in uniform are honored and remembered.

Every year since 1998 the city of Roswell has had a public display of fireworks and every year they get better and better thanks to the legacy of the late Mike Satterfield, the Roswell Sertoma Club and his comrades.

The Roswell Sertoma Club Michael Satterfield Memorial Fireworks Extravaganza will begin at 9:15 p.m. on Monday at the Cielo Grande Recreation Center, 1500 W. College Blvd. The fireworks will be the grand finale of a day full of events that will take place at Cielo Grande.

This year’s extravaganza is expected to surpass previous shows. The Elks will sponsor its annual Veterans barbecue at their lodge, 1720 N. Montana. They are honoring the area’s veterans and their families. A thank you for their service. This event was designed to honor veterans, both living and deceased. All veterans are encouraged to stay and watch the fireworks show after the barbecue.

“The Elks will feed probably 400 to 500 veterans that day,” said Dusty Huckabee, event organizer and Sertoma member.

Other events occurring at the extravaganza are the UFO Festival’s Alien Battle of the Bands. The Chaves County Community Band and Youth Band will perform patriotic music and the Roswell Jazz Band, a selection of upbeat tunes later in the evening. Little Miss Roswell Ava Sexton and Miss Roswell Deanna Jerge will be at the event.

“This event is a labor of love. Firefighters give up their holiday to be here and help with this event. We can’t thank them enough,” said Parks & Recreations Laurie Jerge.

The evolution of the extravaganza has a rich history. Over a decade ago, Roswell didn’t have an extravagant Fourth of July annual show. In fact very little was happening in the city at that time. Huckabee recalled that he and Satterfield attended a Fourth of July event and Satterfield said that the city needed to do

something to show its appreciation to veterans and other local heroes. The two went to the Roswell Sertoma Club asking for help to fund the first Fourth of July show. The Roswell Fire Department also pitched in to help raise funds for the first show in 1998. Satterfield was dubbed the “Father of Fireworks,” and worked to get his certification in pyrotechnics.

“He was like a little kid pacing back and forth while the firefighters were lighting the shells. That’s why he went to get certified; so he could be more hands-on,” said Huckabee.

Satterfield quickly became head of the annual fireworks show and worked to make each show better than the one before. He would also choose the background music for the displays.

He worked on every detail of every show.

Sadly, Satterfield passed away unexpectedly on May 7, 2004. The show pays homage to him by bearing his name with the show.

Satterfield’s wife Pam has been involved in every show since his passing, and says, “There are pleasant memories. He would be embarrassed, first of all, but he would be thrilled this celebration has carried on. Our daughter and granddaughter can remember and carry on his legacy, and every Fourth of July we see him in the sky, in the fireworks, and we say, ‘That’s Mike.’”

Satterfield was actively involved in the community, volunteered with several organizations and lived the motto, “If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.”

In honor of Satterfield, his friends and the Sertoma Club carry on his work to bring to the community a show of epic proportions. Setting up for the show takes several days. A show organizer and Sertoma member explained that there are several steps taken days in advance to prepare for a show this size.

“On Saturday morning, there are 10 to 20 firefighters who come with excavators and backhoes to dig the holes and place the tubes and sand. Sunday, they drop the shells. Monday, they test the electronics and make sure everything is safe and secure so there are no accidents or mishaps during the show. Tuesday, we clean up.”

The event organizers share their appreciation for Shane Adams, a local firefighter, who is choreographing the music and fireworks display this year and all the firefighters who are putting in extra hours toward this event.

With a fireworks ban in the county, this show can offer a safer alternative for the holiday. The show is of professional quality and has evolved from a person physically igniting each device to being electronically controlled and choreographed with music.

“In this time, with heat and fire dangers, we urge the public to not bring their own fireworks. Enjoy the Extravaganza. This is the place to be and keep Roswell safe,” said Jerge.

Parents try balancing needs of sick child with others

Q: We have four children between the ages of 5 and 13. Our youngest son has a serious medical condition that requires the majority of our time. What can we do to make sure we’re not shortchanging our other children while dealing with the burden of our youngest?

Juli: Our hearts go out to you and your son as you travel this difficult road together. Many families have gone through similar circumstances and found the stress to be profound.

In fact, most children’s hospitals have support groups for family members of children with prolonged or terminal illness.

In situations like yours, it’s common for the child who is ill to adopt the role of “sick child.” When this happens, the entire family revolves around protecting and providing for the one in the sick role. Be intentional about carving out family

space that does not revolve around your youngest being ill. For example, never talk about anything related to the illness at the dinner table. Be sure that family members don’t overly coddle your youngest. If he’s able to do chores or get his own glass of water, let him.

As much as possible, shift doctor and hospital visits to allow one parent to be with the other children.

They need time with you.

T ry to schedule a “date” with each child alone, even if it’s just a trip to the grocery store or attending a volleyball game. Extended family members and close friends can be a big help in filling some of the gaps.

Give your other children room to process their feelings with you and/or a counselor. Siblings of a sick child feel the full range of valid emotions, including guilt, anger, jealousy, sadness and fear. Because

Mom and Dad are also emotionally overwhelmed, the kids may believe they have to keep these feelings to themselves. If you see behaviors like aggression, withdrawal, extreme immaturity or trying to be a “perfect child,” you should understand these are indications that a child is not processing these feelings well.

No parent would choose the circumstances you find yourselves in. However, siblings of sick children often develop extraordinary character traits like empathy, unselfishness and responsibility as a result of their

unusual family dynamics.

Q: My husband has a week’s vacation coming up in July. My parents are in California, his are in Ohio, and we’re in Georgia. Both sets of parents are itching to see the grandkids. How do we handle this no-win situation?

Jim: At some point, most married couples have an argument over where to spend vacation time. A lot of the pressure for this decision comes from extended family members, as you know. Throw grandchildren into the mix and things can get downright

ugly!

As eager as they are to see you, your parents can surely sympathize with your inability to be in two places at once. With that in mind, as you decide where to spend your husband’s vacation time, it’s important to remember two principles: be fair, and be flexible.

When it comes to being fair, try to come up with a solution that works for both extended families.

That might mean spending summer vacation in Califor nia and Christmas in Ohio, and then switching off next year.

In ter ms of flexibility, consider what is in the best interests of those around you. Perhaps spending half of your husband’s vacation in airports is not what your budget -- or your kids -can handle right now. Don’t be afraid to tell both sets of grandparents that it’s honestly not a good idea for

you to travel this year, so you’ll be taking a “staycation.”

Whatever you decide, make sure that you and your husband are engaged in healthy communication on the subject. Your final decision should be one that you’re both comfortable with, even if you have to compromise to get there.

ANNIVERSARY Ortiz

Tony and Jennie Ortiz are celebrating their golden anniversary, having married 50 years ago at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Hondo on July 8, 1961.

They were college sweethearts at New Mexico Highlands University and had just finished their sophomore year when they married. After completing their college degrees, they taught in the Las Vegas city schools before going to Michigan in 1968 where Tony completed his master’s degree in counseling. They moved to Roswell from Michigan and have been Roswell residents ever since except for a few short years in Big Spring, Texas, where Tony was a counselor at Howard College. While living in Texas, Jennie completed her master’s degree and course work for counseling, special education, and diagnostics. Returning to Roswell in 1977, they took positions with the Roswell schools, Tony as a counselor at Goddard High School and Jennie as a diagnostician. Both became active in community, church, and school activities. Jennie retired from the Roswell schools in 1992 and Tony in 1996. Both continued to do contract work in area schools for a number of years.

Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz on their wedding day July 8, 1961

The Ortizes celebrated with their extended family and their church family in December with a Mass, a renewal of vows, and a reception at St. Peter Catholic Church. This summer, the celebration continued with their children and their families on a Royal Caribbean cruise on the Freedom of the Seas.

Throughout their married life, Tony and Jennie have enjoyed traveling. Each year the entire family travels together to a special resort location for a week of family fun. In addition, Tony and Jennie enjoy traveling in their camper, cruising, and visiting foreign countries. Recent trips have been to China and South America.

Later this year they will travel to Canada’s Banff and Jasper National Parks and to Spain, followed by a cruise of the Mediterranean.

Tony and Jennie have three children, Michele, Melissa and Tony Jr., and seven grandchildren. Their children and their families have been the light of their lives.

Tony and Jennie feel very blessed to be living a fulfilling life with their family, their extended families, their community of friends, and their church family.

Iced coffee a trend or grounds for celebration?

It wasn’t too long ago that a cup of cold coffee wasn’t worth beans. But these days iced coffee is one hot brew.

“Iced cof fee has completely evolved in the past decade,” says Buf fy Maguire, who with her husband runs two Java Beach Cafes in San Francisco and is opening a third.

Last year, the restaurant industry served up 500 million orders of iced, frozen or what are categorized as “slushie” cof fee drinks, says Bonnie Riggs, restaurant industry analyst for NPD Group, a major market research firm.

That compares with 400 million in 2006, an impressive performance considering there’s been an intervening recession which typically nips at discretionary items like specialty coffee drinks.

Iced cof fee drinks on today’s menus involve more than just pouring regular cof fee over rocks. The beans used are premium, just as with hot coffee, and there are special preparations taken to bring out the best of the flavor.

At Java Beach, coffee is steeped overnight or sometimes longer using a coarse grain and cold water, no heat. “What that process does is there’s virtually no acidic quality to the coffee.

It just brings out this really caramel-y, chocolate element of the coffee that’s really divine,” she says.

Who’s selling iced coffee?

Just about everyone, from big-timers like Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and McDonald’s to most local shops, like Java Beach.

Even 7-Eleven now offers an iced coffee beverage in two flavors.

A few fun facts: Nearly 60 percent of iced cof fee is consumed at breakfast, 20 percent is treated as a snack, 13 percent of sales are for lunch and 4 percent for dinner. Consumption is

heaviest in the Northeast and the frosty java is more popular with women than men.

At Dunkin’ Donuts, iced coffee is “fast becoming as hot, pardon the pun, as our classic cup of hot coffee,” says Scott Hudler, the company’s vice president of brand marketing.

Dunkin’ Donuts uses a double brewing process that keeps the flavor consistent. “It’s never bitter, it’s not watered down,” says Hudler.

DEAR ABBY: I am a divorcee and happy with my life. I’m healthy, have a great job, wonderful grown children, many good friends and several hobbies I enjoy. I’m busy and every day is full.

My issue is the way some people treat the fact that I’m “solo.” When they see me, they ask whether I have a man in my life yet, and when I say I don’t, they look downcast and offer me their sympathy.

Please tell your readers that for a woman to be solo isn’t a tragedy. Certainly, I hope one day to meet someone wonderful to share my life with, but until then I’m happy to be on my own. I’m doing great and I don’t like people treating me as if my being single is some sort of failure.

PARTY OF ONE IN WISCONSIN

DEAR PARTY OF ONE: If I had to wager, I would bet the people you’ve described are older. For people in their generation there was social and economic pressure to couple up and be married. With more women completing their education and earning enough to live well on their own, there is less of that pressure today.

I’m passing your message along, but try to remember that the folks you’re encountering mean well — even if their way of expressing it is outdated and clumsy.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE DEAR ABBY: A new church member joined our group. She’s the nicest, most generous, genuinely kind person, and she is loved and appreciated by all.

The problem is, she reeks with an awful body odor. She breeds dogs, and the smell is ingrained in her clothing, hair, car, etc. She always volunteers to work in the kitchen, and yesterday she did — in spite of my having politely told her we had enough volunteers. Many of the people didn’t want what she touched, including me. How should we approach telling her about her body odor without offending or hurting her?

CONFUSED CHRISTIAN IN DETROIT DEAR CONFUSED CHRISTIAN:

The woman’s strong body odor may be because of poor hygiene or her profession, but it could also be a symptom of illness. Someone should talk to her about it. To do so would be doing her a favor and not hurt-

Because children are naturally very curious and playful, SPRAY BOTTLES filled with cleaning agents (homemade and commercial) and indoorplant liquid fertilizer should be specifically labeled in thick, black permanent marker.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a man I’ll call Eugene for many years. We have both been married before and we both have children.

We’re engaged, but if I marry him, I know I will never be No. 1 in his life. His children and family will always come first.

I don’t know what his former wife did to him, but shouldn’t your spouse rank somewhere at the top? I have a lot of time invested in this relationship.

His children have no connection with me at all. This doesn’t bother Eugene. It bothers me greatly. Can these types of issues be worked out?

FRIEND WITHOUT BENEFITS DEAR FRIEND: Yes, if you and Eugene are willing to admit there are issues that need to be worked out and are willing to get premarital counseling. While Eugene’s children — and yours — might always come first, if you are going to have a successful marriage you should rank right up there with them. While you may never have an emotional tie with his children, you deserve to be treated with the same kindness and respect that you give them. And if that’s not happening, Eugene should insist upon it.

Texas You are right, especially when making up homemade cleaning solutions. I always write on a 3-by-5-inch card what the solution is (vinegar and water, 1/3 rubbing alcohol and 2/3 water), plus the date.

Dear Heloise: I read your hints every day and need help on a problem I now have, which is squeaky shoes. Maybe you can help.

Debra O. in Bucyrus, Ohio

Here is one thing you can try: Make sure there is no moisture in your shoes by sprinkling cornstarch or talcum powder inside before and after you wear them.

Shoes made from man-made materials can squeak; you can take them to a shoe-repair shop and ask for advice. Finally, if you are not happy with the shoes, take them back to the store.

Heloise

Dear Heloise: Next time you use a small packet of ketchup, etc., try this: Make a small slit at one end of the packet. Holding the other end, place the tine of a fork across the closed end and push all of the contents out, with none on your hands.

Obama: ‘Nothing can be off-limits’ in budget

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Saturday that “nothing can be of f-limits” in the budget debate — even though Republicans have said tax increases are. The president said every tax break and federal program must come under scrutiny.

With an Aug. 2 deadline looming to raise the government borrowing limit, the president used his weekly radio and Internet address to call on Congress to make a deal.

He also renewed his call for Congress to eliminate some tax breaks for the well-of f as part of any agreement. Republicans want deep spending cuts without any tax increases while Obama and Democ-

rats call for what they term a “balanced” approach.

That means one that also includes new revenue in the form of higher taxes for some, though Democrats steer clear of using phrases like “tax increases” or “higher taxes.”

“Now, it would be nice if we could keep every tax break, but we can’t afford them,” Obama said.

“Because if we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, or for hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners, or for oil and gas companies pulling in huge profits without our help — then we’ll have to make even deeper cuts somewhere else.”

“Nothing can be off-lim-

its, including spending in the tax code, particularly the loopholes that benefit very few individuals and corporations,” the president said.

Lawmakers and the administration are seeking deficit cuts in the range of $2.4 trillion over the coming decade to balance a similar increase in the debt limit — one that’s large enough to keep the government afloat past the November 2012 election.

Currently the debt limit is $14.3 trillion, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says it must be raised by Aug. 2 to avoid defaulting on the government’s financial obligations for the first time in the nation’s history.

With both sides dug into

their positions, it’s not clear how compromise will be reached, though the Senate canceled its plans to take a July Fourth recess next week in order to stay in Washington and work on the problem.

Obama expressed confidence a deal could be made and instead of singling out Republicans as the barriers to agreement, he directed his message to Democrats and Republicans alike.

“We’ve got to cut the deficit, but we can do that while making investments in education, research and technology that actually create jobs,” the president said. “We can live within our means while still investing in our future.

That’s what we have to do.

Broken budgets: NJ paves way on tightening public worker benefits TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The nation’s financial downturn left many states in such a precarious position that they were forced this year to make tough decisions on expensive but long-untouchable public employee benefits.

Nowhere was this breakthrough more evident than in union-friendly New Jersey, where a Republican governor aided by Democrats enacted sweeping cost-saving changes that touched pensions and health care simultaneously.

Experts say the overhaul is not only significant in scope, but also marks a pivotal moment as other states look to defuse the ticking time-bomb employee benefit obligations have become as a result of the recession, gover nment benefits becoming more generous than those in the private sector, and poor planning by politicians.

With one bill, New Jersey increased required pension contributions, increased the amount workers will pay for health benefits, raised the retirement age, and eliminated automatic cost-of-living increases for current retirees among other things.

The ideas aren’t new, experts said, but New Jersey’s success in adopting a comprehensive solution rather than taking a piecemeal approach is noteworthy.

“What New Jersey has done is farther -reaching versions of the reforms done all around the country, but all together at once,” said Joshua Rauh, an associate professor of finance at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

All 50 states have combined unfunded pension and retiree health care obligations that top $1 trillion, according to an Associated Press examination of state balance sheets.

Five states have unfunded public employee pension liabilities of $50 billion or more, and a recent study by the Pew Center for the States found that only 5 percent of states saved toward their obligations for

retiree health care benefits.

“The bigger the annual (obligation) bill is for states, the more pressure it puts on them to not spend money on things like education or public safety,” said Sue Urahn, the managing director for Pew. Although New Jersey’s powerful public employee unions did not go down without a fight, Republican Gov. Chris Christie and his and Democratic allies in the Legislature managed to circumvent collective bargaining without the turmoil that occurred in several other states — most notably Wisconsin.

Unlike Wisconsin though, New Jersey suspended — not eliminated — collective bargaining on health care for four years. And New Jersey had a much larger pension and health benefits problem to solve.

With underfunded retirement systems short of eventual liabilities by a combined $110 billion, New Jersey’s retiree obligations are among the biggest in the country and are growing. Some studies estimated the pension fund in the New Jersey, the nation’s most densely populated state, would go broke within the decade.

“There is nothing like the absence of cash to focus one mind’s on change,” said former New York lieutenant governor Richard Ravitch, who along with other government officials will serve on a new task force to look into states’ current money problems and the extent of their debt.

Illinois and California are also in dire straits with each owing more than $100 billion in promises to state and local public workers. Wisconsin, where public protests raged on for days over the GOP-led elimination of collective bargaining rights, falls in the middle of all states in terms of retiree obligations.

While bigger states have bigger debt obligations, smaller Northeastern states — with more prevalent unions than out West — fared worse in terms of the percentage they have

set aside for retirement funds. As in New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Hampshire, and Maryland all have pension systems that are underfunded by at least a third, according the Pew Center.

An examination of health care debt reveals an even worse financial picture.

Nineteen states haven’t set aside any money toward their health care funds, instead dealing with benefits that far exceed those in the private sector on a pay-as-you-go basis for expenses incurred by current retirees, Pew found.

In 2009, 14 states offered free health benefits to some or all individual state employees, and half as many states also paid for family plans, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

What is even more notable than the scope of New Jersey’s change to employee benefits, is that normally union-backing Democrats — albeit only a handful — helped to pass it.

Those who supported it said the state could not wait any longer.

“Unions at the local levels were unwilling to give up any concessions at all,” said New Jersey’s Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver. “I think at some point you have to put politics aside and solve the problem.”

Union officials say politicians have been effective at deflecting blame for years of irresponsible behavior, such as skipping pension payments and borrowing against investments in flush years, by using the economic downturn to portray public workers as the problem.

“They flipped the tables to say ‘Look at these individuals who have these plans that you don’t enjoy anymore and you’re paying for it,”’ said Harold Schaitberger, general president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, which represents 300,000 career firefighters in North America.

NATION New VW plant on UAW radar as friendly target

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.

(AP) — After decades of getting the cold shoulder from automakers in the South, the United Auto Workers union is courting the region’s newcomer, Volkswagen.

UAW souther n region director Gary Casteel said that the Wolfsburg, Germany-based automaker has traditionally had an organized work force globally and that makes executives and employees at the new Chattanooga assembly plant “more willing to talk to unions about representation.”

Volkswagen has started sending 2012 Passats to dealers for test drives and displays until the cars built by some 1,900 employees at the $1 billion plant go on sale in late September.

Casteel said the UAW has had some VW workers in Chattanooga reach out to them and there have been discussions with VW executives. No official organizing effort has started as of yet.

Volkswagen previously operated a New Stanton, Pa., assembly plant with union workers that closed in 1988 following disappointing sales.

Udi’s Gluten Free Foods growing rapidly

DENVER (AP) — Denverbased Udi’s Gluten Free Foods has grown quickly since its master baker developed a recipe for gluten-free bread that tastes similar to regular bread.

CEO Devin Anderson says that if sales trends from the first half of the year continue, the company is poised to have $70 million in sales this year, up from $5.5 million in 2009.

The private company doesn’t release profits.

Udi’s also is launching new products, fostering a new division to supply restaurants with glutenfree hamburger and hot dog buns and pizza crusts, and building a third production facility in Denver.

NEW YORK (AP) — A consortium that includes leading smartphone makers Apple and Research In Motion prevailed over Google this week with a $4.5 billion cash bid for about 6,000 patents and patent applications from bankrupt telecom-equipment maker Nortel Networks Corp.

The group offered about five times more than Google’s initial bid of $900 million. Phones running Google’s Android system compete with Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s BlackBerry devices.

Nortel’s patents cover many technologies, including data networking, semiconductors and wireless systems known as fourth generation, or 4G. Nortel said the portfolio “touches nearly every aspect of

telecommunications and additional markets ... including Internet search and social networking.”

David Berten, a partner at Global IP Law Group, which advised Nortel on the sale, said the patents resulted from about $40 billion in investments over 15 years, through Nortel’s own research and development and through acquisitions. He said the patents cover every aspect of telecommunications, including the handsets, the equipment used in cell towers and the connections from there to wired networks.

Patent experts described the sales price as unprecedented, akin to what companies pay to buy complete businesses, not just the intellectual properties.

WORLD Eurozone releases Greek aid installment

BRUSSELS (AP) — Greece will get a vital loan installment by July 15 while work continues on a second bailout for the struggling country, eurozone finance ministers said Saturday The ministers signed off their portion of the (euro) 12 billion ($17.39 billion) loan tranche in an evening conference call. The International Monetary Fund is expected to approve its part of the loan next week.

The ministers also reiterated that they would continue to support Greece beyond the (euro) 110 billion loan package that was granted last year, but left a final decision on the new aid plan until the involvement of banks and other private creditors has been figured out.

“The precise modalities and scale of private sector involvement and additional funding from of ficial sources will be determined in the coming weeks,” the ministers said.

Tiger Airways subsidiary grounded

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — An air safety watchdog on Saturday grounded all Australian domestic flights of a Tiger Airways subsidiary for the next week, saying the budget airline twice flew under the minimum allowed altitude.

About 35,000 passengers are af fected, and more could follow if the airline fails to quickly address regulators’ concerns.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority announced that Tiger Airways Australia’s entire domestic fleet of 10 airliners was grounded for five business days because continuing flights would pose a serious and imminent risk to air safety.

“We don’t have confidence in the ability of Tiger to continue to manage the safety of their operations,” safety authority spokesman Peter Gibson said.

He said he understood that T iger was the first national carrier in Australia to have its entire fleet grounded.

India’s poor give up on power grid Menial prison Roswell Daily Record

NADA, India (AP) — Boommi Gowda used to fear the night. Her vision fogged by glaucoma, she could not see by just the dim glow of a kerosene lamp, so she avoided going outside where king cobras slithered freely and tigers carried off neighborhood dogs.

But things have changed at Gowda’s home in the remote souther n village of Nada. A solar -powered lamp pours white light across the front of the mudwalled hut she shares with her three grown children, a puppy and a newborn calf. Now during the nighttime, she can cook, tend to her livestock and get water from a nearby well.

“I can see!” Gowda said, giggling through a 100-watt smile. In her 70 years, this is the first time she has had any kind of electricity.

Across India, thousands of homes are receiving their first light through small companies and aid programs that are bypassing the central electricity grid to deliver solar panels to the rural poor.

Those customers could provide the human energy that advocates of solar power have been looking for to fuel a boom in the next decade.

With 40 percent of India’s rural households lacking electricity and nearly a third of its 30 million agricultural water pumps running on subsidized diesel, “there is a huge market and a lot of potential,” said San-

tosh Kamath, executive director of consulting firm KPMG in India. “Decentralized solar installations are going to take off in a very big way and will probably be larger than the grid-connected segment.”

Next door to the Gowdas, 58-year-old Iramma, who goes by one name, frowned as she watched her neighbors light their home for the first time. At her house, electrical wiring dangles uselessly from the walls.

She said her family would wait for the grid. They’ve already given hundreds of dollars to an enterprising electrician who wired her house and promised service would come. They shouldn’t have to pay even more money for solar panels, she insisted.

But she softened after her 16-year-old son interrupted to complain he was struggling in school because he cannot study at night like his classmates.

“We are very much frustrated,” she said.

“The children are very anxious. They ask every day, ’Why don’t we have power like other people?’ So if the grid doesn’t come in a month, maybe we will get solar, too.”

Despite decades of robust economic growth, there are still at least 300 million Indians — a quarter of the 1.2 billion population — who have no access to electricity at home. Some use cow dung for fuel, but they more commonly rely on kerosene, which commands premium black-market prices when gover nment supplies run out.

They scurry during daylight to finish housework and school lessons. They wait for grid connections that often never come.

When people who live day-by-day on wage labor and what they harvest from the land choose solar, they aren’t doing it to conserve fossil fuels, stop climate change or reduce their carbon footprints. To them, solar technology presents an ele-

gant and immediate solution to powering everything from light bulbs and heaters to water purifiers and pumps.

“Their frustration is part of our motivation. Why are we so arrogant in deciding what the poor need and when they should get it?” said Harish Hande, managing director of Selco Solar Light Pvt. Ltd. The company, which is owned by three foreign aid organizations, has fitted solar panels to 125,000 rural homes in Karnataka state, including the Gowdas’, outside the west coast port of Mangalore.

Getting the technology to low-income customers is not easy. They need help with everything from setting up their first bank accounts and negotiating loans to navigating the fine print of payment contracts.

To find new clients, agents must go doorto-door in remote settlements, sometimes crossing rivers, hiking mountains or

wading through wetlands to reach them.

But the sales pitch leads to reliable profits. Solar panels take little space on a rooftop, the lights burn brighter than kerosene lamps and they don’t start forest fires or get snuffed in strong winds. Unlike central power, solar units don’t get rationed or cut.

Buying solar panels is more expensive than grid electricity, but for people off the grid it compares well with other options.

One of Selco’s singlepanel solar systems goes for about $360, the same or less than a year’s supply of black-market kerosene. And gover nment subsidies customers mean actually pay less than $300.

In two years, India’s government hopes the of f-grid solar yield will quadruple to 200 megawatts — enough to power millions of rural Indian homes with modest energy needs.

Boommi Gowda’s family signed up for its solar system within weeks of seeing one at the home of neighbor Babu Gowda, who is not related but shares the common regional last name.

“With kerosene, you have to carry the lamp around wherever you go. The light is dim, and smoke fills the room and spoils the paint,” said Babu Gowda, a sprightly 59-year-old.

He finally decided on solar after losing his dog to a tiger from the neighboring national park.

Train ticket helps crack 1957 killing

SEATTLE (AP) — An unused, unstamped train ticket helped lead to charges against a Seattle man in the abduction and killing of a 7-year-old Illinois girl in 1957.

Prosecutors in northern Illinois’ DeKalb County charged Jack Daniel McCullough, 71, on Friday with murdering Maria Ridulph, who was last seen playing with a friend near her home in Sycamore, about 50 miles west of Chicago.

Mushroom hunters found Maria’s remains five months later in a wooded area about 100 miles from her hometown.

McCullough claimed he took the train from Rockford, Ill., to Chicago the day of the abduction. But The Seattle T imes, citing a probable-cause statement filed in court, reported Saturday that a woman who dated McCullough at the time found, while searching through personal items last year at the request of investigators, an unused, unstamped train ticket from Rockford to Chicago dated the day the girl went missing.

It’s unclear whether McCullough has an attorney. He remains jailed in Seattle on $3 million bond and was scheduled for a court appearance there Saturday.

McCullough’s arrest drew elation from Kathy Chapman, the 8-year -old girl Maria played with the night she vanished. Now a grandmother, Chapman told the Chicago Tribune that last year investigators showed her a photo of McCullough as a teenager in a photo lineup, and Chapman identified him as a young man from her Sycamore neighborhood who offered a piggyback ride to her and Maria as the two girls played under a cor ner streetlight. She knew him

as “Johnny.”

Chapman, who lives near Chicago in St. Charles, Ill., said she ran home and never saw Maria again.

McCullough’s arrest “puts a lot of things to rest now. I’m so happy for the family,” Chapman told the Tribune. “And nobody gave up on it. That’s the good thing about it.”

The search for Maria in December 1957 grew to involve more than 1,000 law enforcers and numerous other community members, ultimately catching the attention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who requested daily updates, DeKalb County State’s Attor ney Clay Campbell said in a written statement Friday.

Two people foraging for mushrooms in Jo Davies County, in Illinois’ northwest corner, found the girl’s remains on April 26, 1958.

Of ficials said McCullough, who was 18 and named John Tessier at the time of Maria’s disappearance, was an initial suspect but had an alibi.

Last year, police re-interviewed a woman who dated McCullough in 1957 and asked her to look for pictures and other items of their time together, the Seattle newspaper reported, citing the court documents filed this week.

That’s when she found the unused, unstamped train ticket from Rockford to Chicago, poking holes in McCullough’s alibi. He was picked up for questioning Wednesday night, Sycamore Police Chief Donald Thomas said.

“He had been a very good suspect in the beginning.

He lived about a block and half away from the victim, he fit the description and his clothes matched, but he had an alibi that he was someplace else,” Thomas

According to the court documents obtained by the Times, investigators determined a collect phone call McCullough purportedly made to his ex-girlfriend from Chicago actually came from his Sycamore home the day Maria vanished — and he gave a ride to a relative when he should have been on the train.

“This crime has haunted Sycamore for half a century. We hope that the family of Maria Ridulph and this community can find some solace and closure with this arrest,” Campbell said Friday.

Charles Ridulph, Maria’s brother, told the Chicago Sun-Times his family is in shock over the arrest of a

suspect in his sister’s death.

“For all these years, my assumption was that he was dead — that he would have been dead — otherwise something would have come up before this time,” said Ridulph, 65. That the suspect is someone the family knew from the neighborhood “is just an added shock,” he said.

Ridulph said his parents have died and the arrest stoked old anger.

“They talk about closure, which there is never such a thing,” he said. “It was pretty well closed for us, and now it’s all open again.

My daughter said to me when I told her (about the arrest), she said it’s too bad my parents aren’t alive. I said, ‘Thank God they weren’t alive for this day.’”

work awaits Blagojevich CHICAGO (AP) — An number eight-digit af fixed to his prison clothes. A job scrubbing toilets or mopping floors at 12 cents an hour. His incessant jogging confined to a prison yard.

Most painful of all, restricted visits from his wife and two daughters.

After sentencing for his conviction on federal corruption charges, that is likely to be the new life for impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is more accustomed to fancy suits, a doting staff and a comfortable home in a leafy Chicago neighborhood.

Most legal experts estimate that Blagojevich, 54, will get close to a 10year sentence, though technically he faces up to 300 years after he was convicted Monday of 17 of 20 counts at his retrial. The convictions include attempted extortion for trying to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat that Barack Obama vacated to become president. One fellow Illinois politician who served time in federal prison on corruption charges, former Chicago city clerk Jim Laski, says Blagojevich can’t begin to fathom how hard prison will be.

“I missed my kids’ birthdays, graduations ... you don’t ever see children playing, there’s a sense of total isolation, you’re subject to bodycavity searches — it’s horrible!” said the 57year-old Laski, a father of three. “And I was only in two years.”

Once he walks through the prison doors, no one will care that Blagojevich was once gover nor or appeared in 2010 on the reality television show “Celebrity Apprentice,” Laski and others said.

“If he thinks he’ll come in and get special treatment, he’s in for a rude surprise,” said Phil Turner, a former federal prosecutor in Chicago.

“If you come in with that attitude, prison guards and other inmates will go out of their way to break you.”

But a chilly reception may not deter Blagojevich’s non-stop campaigning. “I still see him going around acting jovial, shaking hands,” Tur ner said. “I bet he knows everybody’s name in a month.”

No sentencing date has been set yet for Blagojevich, though it should happen by year’s end. A decision on what prison Blagojevich will go to won’t be made until weeks after a sentence is imposed, but it could very well be the same facility in Terre Haute, Ind., that houses another former Illinois governor, George R yan.

Lawyers will likely appeal Blagojevich’s convictions, but appeals on federal convictions rarely prevail.

What may weigh most on Blagojevich’s mind is the welfare of his daughters — Amy, 14, and Annie, 8. If he does spend a decade or more imprisoned, he could miss many landmarks of their lives, including their high school and college graduations.

“There’s always a sense of precariousness because a child whose parent has gone wonders, ‘What else in my life can be taken away?”’ said Mindy Clark, spokeswoman for Oregon-based Children’s

Justice Alliance, which helps families of imprisoned relatives.

Laski said his kids faced teasing at school.

“One kid came up to my boys when I was in prison and said, ‘At least my dad is home for Christmas — and your dad is in jail,”’ he said.

While Blagojevich would go to a prison with minimal security, possibly with just a simple fence around it, his routine will be highly regimented, including limits on family visits and phone calls.

A guidebook for another federal prison in Oxford, Wis., where Blagojevich could also go, says inmates get 300 minutes a month on the phone, or about 10 minutes a day. Cell phones are strictly prohibited.

Prisoners, all of whom share rooms, wake at 6 a.m. and are subject to head counts half a dozen times a day.

Blagojevich, an avid jogger who has posted impressive times in several marathons, will also have to settle for running in circles on a prison track or around a yard.

There’s some good news in the guidebook for Blagojevich, famously fastidious about keeping every strand of his generous locks in place: He won’t have to shave off his trademark hair, though fully maintaining it out of reach of his usual stylist may pose challenges.

“Your hair may be wor n in any style and length you wish,” the guidebook says.

Inmates also must work an 8-hour -a-day job, starting at 12 cents an hour; most new prisoners start in custodial work. Blagojevich’s predecessor, Ryan, a Republican, is serving 6 1 ⁄ 2 years in prison on multiple corruption charges and is expected to be freed in 2013. That means Blagojevich, a Democrat, and R yan could be serving time simultaneously.

Blagojevich’s imprisonment could pose financial hardships for his family. During his trial and retrial, he already complained of being broke, and in prison he won’t be able to contribute any meaningful revenue to his family, according to prison rules. Ear ning money from writing books or articles is forbidden.

Dick Mell, an influential alderman in Chicago and his wife Patti’s father, could be expected to lend his daughter and grandchildren a helping hand. Patti Blagojevich’s sister, Deb Mell, is a state legislator.

Another concer n is that someone like Blagojevich could be targeted by other inmates who might think his celebrity means he has access to money, Turner said.

Blagojevich hasn’t spoken at any length about prison. When asked in an interview before his retrial about whether he dwelled on the prospect of being locked up for years, he answered: “No. I don’t let myself go there.”

Alice Hopper, of Roseville, Calif., refashions vintage costume jewelry into modern, wearable pieces, like the necklace shown above.

New ideas for old family keepsakes

Joan Therese Seivert’s necklace — a large heart shape covered in tiny pieces of sparkly jewelry attached to a bolo tie — looks homemade, and it is.

It comes with a heartfelt story.

Her sister made it for her before Seivert left her hometown of St. Paul, Minn., 35 years ago to live in Denver. All those little sparkly bits were culled from the jewelry passed down by her grandmother.

“It’s Grandma. It’s my sister. It’s my path of service. It’s my work. It’s my faith. It’s my way of taking care of myself. It’s a way of showing up. It’s a reminder,” says Seivert, who helps families navigate senior -living choices through her company, Connections Unlimited. Clients, often unfamiliar with eldercare options, start out worried and stressed. Seivert wears the necklace to remind herself to work from her heart, and to signal that message to others.

Many of us collect or end up with old family knickknacks - sewing notions, keys, jewelry, handkerchiefs, buttons, all manner of little, ancient doodads.

Often, we don’t know what to do with them. What is this thingamabob anyhow? What’s it made of?

Should I cherish it, or toss it? How might I use it?

Some, like Seivert’s sister, know exactly what to do with the jars full of keepsakes and the drawers stuffed with thingamajigs.

Take Giuseppina “Josie” Cirincione of Phoenix, who teaches community art classes and has written several crafting books, including “Collage Lost and Found” (North Light Books, 2006). It shares ideas for making collages and jewelry with old photographs, memorabilia and vintage ephemera.

For Cirincione, creating begins with collecting. She collects a lot of old things, from wooden dry cleaner hangers and yardsticks to kitchen and woodworking tools. Cookie cutters. Brass keys. Ice picks. Handwritten letters and envelopes.

Velveeta cheese boxes (they’re wooden and tout “the delicious cheese food” in vintage lettering).

That’s only a slice of her collection, and Cirincione puts it all to good use, eventually.

“I’ve always been drawn to anything old, drawn to that unique thing,” says Cirincione.

For the rest of us, who simply want to make a little something special with a family member’s memorabilia, Cirincione recommends making a twodimensional collage or three-dimensional assemblage - but handle your treasures carefully.

“It’s a challenge, using Grandmother’s things,” she says. “You don’t want to drill through it or ruin it.

You have to figure how to use the found object piece without altering the piece itself.”

This nod to preservation led Cirincione to wire-wrapping and metal-soldering.

She recommends using baling wire - an all-around, “fix-it” wire used to mend farm fences - stripped of its outer coating, which reveals a gun-metal gray wire.

“It lends itself more to a vintage, found-object kind of look,” says Cirincione.

Combine memorabilia in a display box - this is why Cirincione collects the Velveeta boxes - incorporating disparate items and textures for added interest.

For jewelry making, have a small drill (with a 1/16inch drill bit) and pliers on hand. Pick up some jewelry fasteners and eyelets. Cirincione solders pendants, incorporating buttons, small shells and photocopied images atop colorful scrapbook paper or snipped pages from discarded, vintage books.

Alisa Hopper of Roseville, Calif., makes salvaging Grandmother’s jewelry even easier: You can mail costume jewelry to her and she’ll refashion it into a modern, wearable piece.

See her creations at All Things T insel, her Etsy.com shop.

Hopper says a lot of her clients are brides who want to wear that “something old” in a new way. Pieces range from $50 to $300, depending on how much of her own stock she has to use. Hopper sends photos of her creations to clients before mailing the finished pieces.

“They have to love it,” she says.

Also for brides, but not exclusively so, Jen Rose Diehl of Columbus, Ohio, creates bouquets out of vintage brooches. Her work is available at The Ritzy Rose at Etsy.com.

NY’s Fort Ticonderoga shows off its artistic side

TICONDEROGA, N.Y. (AP) — Plenty of cannon, muskets, bayonets, swords and other 18th-century military hardware are on display at Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York. Officials claim to have one of the most extensive collections of military artifacts from the 1700s, rivaling those at the Smithsonian Institution and the Tower of London.

But there’s more to see this summer and early fall at the historic site on Lake Champlain than relics from the French and Indian War and the American Revolution.

The fort’s extensive art collection is getting equal billing with the weaponry on display. For the first time since the fort was rebuilt as a tourist attraction 102 years ago, 50 of Fort T iconderoga’s most important artworks are on display in a single exhibit.

They include a painting

by Hudson River School founder Thomas Cole, engraved powder hor ns circa 1759, and a portrait of George Washington by

Charles Peale Polk.

“You don’t have to go to New York City to see great art,” Christopher Fox, curator of collections, tells visitors to the fort, located in the southeastern Adirondacks 75 miles north of Albany. “You can go to Fort Ticonderoga and see many pieces that relate to various periods in American art.”

The exhibit — titled “The Art of War: Ticonderoga as Experienced through the eyes of America’s Great Artists” — is in the gallery on the lower floor of the new $23 million Mars Education Center, named for Forrest Mars Jr. and Deborah Clarke Mars. He’s an heir to the Mars candy fortune; she’s a Ticonderoga native.

Visitors to the new exhibit pass a large oil-on-canvas portrait of Deborah Mars. Once inside the intimate gallery, they see artwork that tells Fort Ticonderoga’s story, from an 18th-century map drawn when the Lake George-Lake Champlain corridor was the focus of warring European empires to black-and-

Prince William, Kate greeted by protesters MONTREAL (AP) — Prince William and Kate were met by a small group of protesters Saturday in the Frenchspeaking province of Quebec as the royal couple visited a children’s hospital during a nineday jour ney through Canada on their first of ficial overseas trip.

About 35 protesters, including members of the separatist gr oup Reseau de Resistance du Quebecois, or Quebecker

Resistance Network, stood outside Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre in Montreal chanting “A united people will never be vanquished.”

They carried signs that r ead “Parasites go home,” “Criminals of War,” and “Your fortune came from the blood of our ancestors.”

“It’s a symbol of English dominance over Quebec,” said 30-year -old lawyer Antoine Pich of the couple’s visit.

white photographs that capture the fort’s crumbling condition before restoration was started by the Pell family in 1909.

The artwork includes side-by-side portraits of British Gen. James Abercromby and his French counterpart, the Marquis de Montcalm. Abercromby commanded the English ar my that attacked the French-built fort on July 8, 1758. The French, outnumbered 5-to-1, hastily built a defensive line of earth and log barricades about a half mile from the fort’s walls.

Despite wave after wave of frontal assaults, the French line held while mowing down hundreds of redcoats with a hail of musket fire.

Two other items are linked to the pivotal year of 1759, when the British finally captured the fort, followed weeks later by their victory at the Battle of Quebec. The first is a painting made in 1774 by Thomas Davies, a British artillery officer who was part of the 1759 campaign.

The scene shows the

Roswell Daily Record

British encampment on the souther n shore of Lake George. Fox said it’s the earliest known painted image of the lake.

The other link to 1759 is a powder hor n engraved with a map showing the British siege works outside the fort that year. Soldiers of the period commonly carved maps and other images onto powder horns during idle hours in camp, Fox said.

“They can be very important documents of what people were actually seeing,” Fox said. “I included two powder horns in this exhibit to make the point that art isn’t just paintings and prints that you hang on the wall.”

The portrait of George Washington painted by Polk around 1790 is part of the exhibit not just for its stellar quality, Fox said.

The Continental Army commander and future president visited Ticonderoga briefly during his tour of northern military outposts in July 1783, when he was waiting for word on the treaty that would end the

American Revolution.

“He had fellow officers and friends who were at Fort T iconderoga during the French and Indian War,” Fox said.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is Cole’s 1826 work, “Gelyna, or a View Near Ticonderoga.” Considered the fort’s most valuable and important piece, the painting depicts a fictionalized scene of a British officer coming to the aid of a wounded comrade lying on a wilderness outcropping, while smoke rises in the distant background from the 1758 Battle of Ticonderoga. It’s the earliest known piece signed by Cole, an English-bor n artist regarded as the founder of the 19th-century American art movement known as the Hudson River School.

“Once his work gained popularity, it seemed the artists who were doing these types of dramatic landscapes began to copy his style,” Fox said.

The exhibit also features 19th-century line engravings of the ruins of Fort

T iconderoga, a favorite subject of artists of the period. Unlike Europe, where centuries-old ruins dot the landscape, the United States offered few places where architecture from bygone eras could capture an artist’s imagination. Ticonderoga, with its mountain backdrops and old fort ruins, fit the bill for American artists in the decades leading up to the Civil War. The core of the fort’s art collection were acquired in the first half of the 20th century by Sara and Stephen Pell, who restored the fort on the site where it stood before falling into disrepair after the Revolutionary War. Pell was a descendant of William Ferris Pell, the wealthy New York merchant who acquired the fort grounds in 1820.

Together, Sara and Stephen Pell spent decades building a collection that went beyond the glass cases filled with weapons and other martial artifacts viewed by generations of visitors.
