Fire spreads, health conditions worsen SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz.

(AP) — An eye-stinging, throat-bur ning haze of smoke spewing from a gigantic wildfire in eastern Arizona is beginning to stretch as far east as central New Mexico, prompting health officials to warn residents as far away as Albuquerque about potential respiratory hazards.

The 672-square-mile blaze was no longer just an Arizona problem on Saturday as firefighters moved to counter spot fires sprouting up across the state line and lighting their own fires to beat it back. The forest fire

remained largely uncontained and officials worried that the retur n of gusty southwesterly winds during the afternoon could once again threaten small mountain communities that had been largely saved just a few days ago.

Levels of tiny, sooty particles from the smoke in eastern Arizona were nearly 20 times the federal health standard on Saturday. The good news was that was down from roughly 40 times higher a day earlier, but it was all at the mercy of the ever-changing winds.

Today could get even

worse, said Mark Shaffer of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

“Things got better but they’re still bad,” Shaffer said Saturday.

The microscopic particles, about 1/28th the width of a human hair, can get lodged in the lungs and cause serious health problems, both immediate and long-term, Shaffer said.

“Larger particles, you breathe in and you cough and it tends to get rid of it,” he said, adding that the See FIRE, Page A7

The motion was filed jointly by Scot D. Key, the special prosecutor based in Las Cruces, and defense attorney S. Doug Witt Jones “on the grounds that the parties are currently working on the resolution of the matter.”

Prior to this, Key had filed two motions in limine that would have denied the defense from using certain information pertaining to the cause of the alter-

Lawrence Bros aids RRH screening ‘huge success’ Wounded Warriors

As a way to thank the troops, Lawrence Brothers IGA on Saturday hosted a free concert and car show in its parking lot on West Second Street. One hundred percent of the proceeds from concession sales went to the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit, nonpartisan program headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., that helps injured soldiers and veterans returning home from war transition back to civilian life.

The event also kicked off the grocery store’s fundraising effort to donate 10 cents of every case of specially marked IGA Private Brand bottled water sold to the WWP from Sat-

urday until Labor Day weekend.

“It’s a great cause,” store director Blake Meek said.

“The soldiers that are over there fighting are the reason why we have the freedoms that we have today.”

The Roswell Veterans Honor Guard was on hand to present the colors for the program, and bands Country Char m and Soul Searchers and musician Tom Blake, played onstage as people in the audience danced and clapped their hands.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico’s Indian tribes are lining up against one of their own as the federal government once again is considering a controversial proposal to let a northern New Mexico pueblo partner with a Santa Fe art dealer to build a hotel and casino along the Texas-New Mexico border.

The New Mexico Indian Gaming Association Inc., which represents tribal casino operators, recently filed comments with the Bureau of Indian Affairs opposing the plan, according to Mark Chino, president of the Mescalero Apache tribe, which operates Inn of the Mountain Gods resort and casino in the Ruidoso area.

The group’s attor ney declined to release a copy of the comments, but Chino said they are basically the same objections

the tribes had when the project was first proposed — and rejected — under the Bush Administration.

Those objections are based on questions about the tribes’ claim to the trust land and its distance — more than 300 miles — from the pueblo.

“First of all, we don’t believe that the project is going to benefit the people of the Jemez Pueblo, because as we argued back then that the developer is the one that appears to be the major beneficiary of the project as opposed to the Pueblo of Jemez and the people of Jemez,” said Chino, whose tribe stands to lose the most among New Mexico Indian gaming operators if the Anthony project is approved.

About 80 people attended the first en masse health screening at Roswell Regional Hospital, Saturday morning, a new initiative to bring health care quickly and affordably to the community.

The idea, hospital CEO and Administrator Rod Schumacher says, was to administer basic physical exams for a low rate, $25, to those who shrink at the thought of stepping foot inside a hospital, or going to the doctor’s office.

“It's a very basic physical exam, but it gets people in and out of the system very quickly,” Schu-

over 100 miles away and close to the populous El Paso-Las Cruces market “would devastate our hospitality enterprises here in Ruidoso. We have invested millions and millions of dollars in our hospitality enterprises. And that would certainly take away the lion’s share of our business.”

Chino said his tribe also disagrees with Jemez Pueblo’s attempt to claim a historical connection to the land in question.

“We believe that the Mescalero Apache have a much greater historical connection to that area of the Southwest,” he said.

The Jemez Pueblo is located in northern New Mexico between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, along a corridor that already has a number of See CASINO, Page A7

macher said. “They’re only here 20 or 30 minutes.”

Fifteen to 20 hospital employees lined up in the hospital lobby to administer tests for body mass index, blood pressure, oxygen level in blood, blood sugar, LDL/HDL cholesterol testing, prostate cancer tests and peripheral vascular disease testing, while lab technicians prepared the results. The screening included tests for “things we can spot early on,” Schumacher said, like prostate cancer. He added that it is particularly difficult to convince men to take that test.

“Men will not go do that,” Schumacher said.

He joked, “I know

because I am one. I’ve been a man all my life.

We won’t go to the doctors, but we’ll come in here.”

Most who braved the hospital lobby, like Frank Sandoval, of Dexter, say they are glad they did.

Sandoval said he learned his body mass index was not where he thought it would be.

“I’m going to go walk 18 holes of golf as soon as this thing’s done,” he said.

He joked that the last time he received a physical exam was 1977, and said that he came to the screening at his wife’s urging.

Weiner seeks leave of absence from House WASHINGTON (AP) — Under fierce pressure from fellow Democrats to resign in a sexting scandal, Rep. Anthony Weiner announced Saturday he was entering professional treatment at an undisclosed location and requested a leave of absence from Congress.

An aide for the embattled New York lawmaker made the disclosure in a statement shortly after several Democratic party leaders demanded he quit for exchanging messages and photos ranging from sexually suggestive to explicit with several women online.

“This sordid affair has become an unacceptable distraction for Representa-

tive Weiner, his family, his constituents and the House,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the party chairwoman, said in a written statement calling for the 46-year -old married lawmaker to step down.

The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, said Weiner “has the love of his family, the confidence of his constituents and the recognition that he needs help. I urge Congressman Weiner to seek that help without the pressures of being a member of Congress.”

Aides said later that Pelosi had been aware of Weiner’s plan to enter treatment when she issued her statement, and

her call for a resignation had not changed because of it.

Weiner’s spokeswoman, Risa Heller, said in the statement that the congressman departed during the morning “to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person. In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well.”

The statement did not say where he would receive treatment, or what type was involved. Others familiar with his plans said he had left New York

by air.

The developments occurred one day after Weiner acknowledged he had exchanged online messages with a 17-year -old girl in Delaware. He said nothing improper had passed between the two of them.

Publicly, Pelosi, Wasserman Schultz and others had been notably reticent in the days since Weiner held a news conference on Monday to announce he had exchanged lewd photos, and more, with a handful of women.

On Thursday, an Xrated photo surfaced on a website, and in response, Weiner’s office issued a statement that did not deny it had been taken of

They seem to depict a more moderate Palin who worked to find a state response to global warming — she has since dismissed studies supporting climate change — and gave props to then-Sen. Barack Obama for his support of a natural gas pipeline in Alaska.

The records, comprising more than 13,400 emails, shed new light on Palin’s rise from little-known governor to national political sensation. The emails end in September 2008, shortly after her selection to be McCain’s running mate. It was then that citizens and news organizations first requested the records.

Three years later, Palin is a best-selling author, reality TV star, sought-after speaker and kingmaker, successfully supporting dozens of candidates in last year’s elections.

Her recent bus tour of the Northeast as well as an authorized documentary about her time as governor, have fueled speculation that Palin will run for president, but the Republican says she hasn’t yet decided.

In Anchorage, people watched the release of the emails with interest, some blaming the media for paying too much attention to the out-dated records.

While much of the country was taken by surprise when Palin became the

Republican vice presidential candidate, her emails suggest she was angling for the slot for months, and that she may have been courted even earlier.

Palin’s scheduler sent her a note June 21, 2007, saying Gov. Mitt Romney — who was running for president — wanted to schedule a call to “catch up on things.” The aide said Mike Tibbles, her former chief of staf f, said she probably wouldn’t be interested, and wondered how she should proceed.

“What is his number?

Since it may be partisan, I should do this without state assistance. Thanks!”

Palin replied.

On Jan. 30, for mer Arkansas Mike Huckabee called, and Palin seemed to be leaning toward endorsing him in the Republican primary.

In the ensuing months, though, as McCain had all but sewn up his party’s nomination, Palin turned her attention to him.

In June, Palin and her staff talked about plans to repeal Alaska’s fuel tax. Ivy Frye, an aide and friend, said she would send details to McCain staffers when they became available.

“They’re going to love it!” she wrote.

As the national attention intensified, Palin seemed frustrated and overwhelmed by the constant

Roswell Daily Record

him.

The White House declined comment on the matter. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, his state’s dominant Democrat, said it was clear Weiner “needs professional help and I am glad he is seeking it.”

According to one Democratic aide, leaves are granted automatically once a lawmaker requests one, and no vote or other type of acquiescence by the House is required. It is not known whether any other lawmakers are currently on leave.

Until disclosing he was seeking treatment, Weiner had given no indication he was considering anything other than returning to

the Capitol on Monday when the House returns from a week-long break — raising the prospect of a circus-like atmosphere when the news media attempted to track his whereabouts.

Asked how his wife was taking the scandal, Weiner said, “She’s doing well.

She’s a remarkable woman.”

Weiner is married to Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Before Saturday’s developments, at least nine Democratic House members and three senators said Weiner should resign.

She angled for the vice presidential nomination months before John McCain picked her — and hinted at presidential aspirations.

The messages give a behind-the-scenes look at a politician who burst onto the national stage after serving as Wasilla mayor and less than two years as Alaska governor. They show a woman striving to balance work and home, fiercely protective of her family and highly sensitive to media coverage. She expressed a sometimes mothering side with aides but also was quick to demand answers or accountability.

RUIDOSO (AP) — The Carrizozo Town Council has scheduled a Monday night meeting after the sudden resignation of Mayor Mike Petty.

Petty quit Friday morning at the start of a special meeting about the possible hiring of a few more police officers.

Mayor Pro Tem Dennis Vega tells the Ruidoso News that Petty claimed he was mentally and physically drained and needed to resign.

Petty won the mayor’s job in March 2010.

Vega says he will be the acting mayor until the trustees appoint someone to fill the post. Vega says he doesn’t know how long that will take.

The delay in releasing Palin’s emails, which had been requested by media organizations and citizens, has been attributed largely to the sheer volume. The emails were sent and received by Palin’s personal and state email accounts, and the ones being released were deemed state business-related. Palin and top aides were known to communicate using private email accounts. The documents revealed at least three dif ferent private accounts for Palin.

The state withheld 2,275 pages for reasons including attorney-client, work product or executive privilege; an additional 140 pages were deemed to be “nonrecords,” or unrelated to state business.

Bison bones help tell Texas’ prehistoric story Roswell Daily Record

HOUSTON (AP) — Deep in the Chihuahuan Desert not far from the Mexico border, archeologists are busy digging up the first bison bones ever found in this remote area of Texas, which they hope will shed light on the little-understood lives of the inhabitants of the region in prehistoric times.

The discovery in the Nature Conservancy’s Independence Creek Preserve is considered significant because it came at a place where two very different cultures lived in close proximity. The archaeologists hope that analysis of the

bones, along with tools, charcoal from ancient fire pits and other artifacts found nearby, will provide clues to why the two peoples had different lifestyles, ideologies and possibly, religions.

“It’s kind of a missing piece of a puzzle,” said Andy Cloud, director of the Center for Big Bend Studies at Sul Ross State University in Alpine. “Anytime we get a chance to fill in a little piece of the puzzle it’s an important contribution to archaeology and the prehistory of Texas.”

Bison were an important part of prehistoric life, a

major component of human diets, customs, clothing and hunting patter ns.

Bones have been found throughout much of North America, but never in the Eastern Pecos region — a desert area that includes Big Bend National Park.

Archaeologists hypothesized the bison may not have been able to cross the Pecos River.

Yet, they were perplexed by accounts from early Spanish expeditions that described native peoples using buf falo, said Sam Cason, a project archaeologist with Sul Ross.

Then, in February 2009,

Sunday, June 12, 2011

Lisa Wrinkle, the Nature Conservancy’s Lower Pecos coordinator, program noticed something shiny and white while hiking in an area where there had been flooding and erosion.

In the river bed Wrinkle found bones, vertebrae, teeth and a jawbone.

Analysis at Texas Tech University confir med the remains were from bison.

For two years Sul Ross scientists kept the find quiet because they wanted to ensure that visitors did not disrupt the terrain while they were conducting research. Now, they are focusing on dating the

remains and using them to lear n why groups living side by side had different diets, beliefs, art and even burial practices.

Just from looking at the soil and the artifacts uncovered, Cason believes the upper deposits are from the late-Prehistoric Period, or 700 AD to 1600 AD. The lower deposits are likely from the late-Archaic Period, dating 1500 BC to 700 AD. Carbon dating will provide archaeologists with more precise information.

The research aims to determine how the bison were killed, in what season and possibly how many people were in the hunting

group. “These bison bones were in the midst of all that debris. That tells you that the bison bones were part of a larger cultural event,” Cason said.

The analysis could determine in this area where the two cultures met, they overlapped and had previously unidentified similarities.

“Cultural boundaries are always more interesting than the heartland,” Cloud said. “You get a lot more interaction going on along those edges and it’s kind of an exciting area to look at in terms of trying to piece together the behavior of the people.”

ing, even in classified matters, “and we encourage people to use them. But people cannot make unilateral decisions to publicly release information that jeopardizes national security. When that happens, the government has an obligation to act.”

Obama’s administration has pursued cases against five gover nment leakers under espionage statutes, more than any of his recent predecessors. James Bamford, the author of two books on the NSA, called the Drake prosecution “a very important case” because it could set a precedent for similar Espionage Act trials to follow.

They include cases against Pfc. Bradley E. Manning, an intelligence analyst accused of passing hundreds of thousands of military and State Department documents to WikiLeaks; former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling, accused of sharing classified information on intelligence operations against Iran with New York Times reporter James Risen; and a State Department expert on North Korea, Stephen Kim, accused of revealing secrets to Fox News.

An FBI translator, Shamai Leibowitz, was sentenced to 20 months after pleading guilty to leaking classified documents to a blogger who posted the information online.

In Drake’s case, court papers show that an important decision leading up to dismissal of the felony charges came June 3 when U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett ruled against prosecutors, who had sought to protect some classified material from disclosure during a trial.

The classified information involved documents found in Drake’s home relating to “NSA’s targeting of a particular telecommunications technology,” according to a June 5 letter to the judge by lead prosecutor William Welch.

The gover nment proposed to protect the classified information by providing summaries for the jury.

The judge ruled that the summaries, referred to as “substitutions,” would hinder the defense.

The government responded to the ruling by weakening its own case, abandoning all references to the technology.

A drastic step, but hardly unprecedented.

In the Iran-Contra affair, the Reagan White House secretly sold arms to Iran in exchange for the release of American hostages held in the Middle East. Some of the profits from the arms sales were diverted to clandestine military support of rebels seeking to overthrow Nicaragua’s leftist government. At the time, Congress had withdrawn support for the rebels.

In the criminal investigation that ensued, independent counsel Lawrence Walsh felt compelled to abandon a conspiracy charge against North, one of the key players in arranging the covert arms sales and payments to the Contra rebels. Walsh acted after a judge agreed with North’s lawyers that the defense had a right to present a wide range of government secrets at trial.

In his final report, Walsh wrote that “North was unsuccessful in graymailing the gover nment into dropping additional charges on grounds of classification.”

A jury convicted North of three felonies, but an appeals court overturned all three.

In a separate Iran-Contra case, the independent counsel charged Joe Fernandez, a former CIA station chief in Central America, with abetting North’s aid to the Contra rebels.

But Attor ney General Richard Thor nburgh blocked disclosure of information identifying CIA stations in Central America, leading a judge to dismiss the case.

But the terrorism case against Moussaoui ended differently.

The only case brought so far in a U.S. court over the Sept. 11 attacks produced a life sentence. As part of his defense, Moussaoui sought access to al-Qaida witnesses. But courts cited national security concerns in ruling that Moussaoui and his lawyers could not conduct interviews.

Instead, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ordered that defense attorneys and the jury be given government-prepared summaries of the captives’ statements. That arrangement drew objections from defense lawyers because the summaries were “from unnamed, unsworn government agents purporting to report unsworn, incomplete nonverbatim accounts” of witness statements. Moussaoui’s team argued unsuccessfully that this was a violation of his 6th Amendment right to a fair trial.

Moussaoui ultimately pleaded guilty to engaging in terrorism, though he denied being part of the 2001 attacks. Under federal death penalty rules, a jury was empaneled and heard evidence in order to determine his sentence.

As for Drake, he won’t be going to trial Monday. He will be sentenced July 15 on his guilty plea to the misdemeanor of unauthorized use of a government computer, and prosecutors won’t object if he is given no jail time.

NSA case unlikely to deter Obama’s take on leakers

AP Photo

Former senior executive with the National Security Agency Thomas Drake talks with one of his attorneys, Jesslyn Radack, director of National Security and Human Rights with the Government Accountablity Project, outside the U.S. Courthouse in Baltimore on Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Criminal defendants of all stripes in national security cases, including Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North in the Iran-Contra affair and alQaida terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, have long sought to work government secrets into their defense.

The hope is the prosecutors will skip a trial rather than expose sensitive information in court.

This strategy worked perfectly in the just concluded leak case against a former National Security Agency official, Thomas Drake. But civil libertarians doubt the setback for prosecutors will halt the Obama administration’s vigorous legal attack on leakers, and the government shows no signs of backing off other cases.

After all, the strategy of threatening to expose secrets at trial to ward off charges has a decidedly mixed history for national security defendants. The practice is known as graymailing the government.

Drake pleaded guilty Friday in federal court in Baltimore to a single misdemeanor charge in a deal with prosecutors that

avoided a trial in the case accusing Drake of passing classified material to a Baltimore Sun reporter.

Drake had faced up to 35 years in prison had he gone to trial and been convicted.

The lesser charge carries a penalty of up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

Drake’s defense was that he was a whistleblower exposing waste in an NSA program called TrailBlazer.

That ill-fated effort was to have overhauled the agency’s vast computer systems to capture and screen information flooding into the agency from the Internet and cell phones.

Begun in 2002, the project eventually cost $1.2 billion, but never worked as intended and was scrapped in 2006.

The NSA, one the government’s largest spy agencies, employs an ar my of linguists, cryptologists and computer experts to snoop on electronic communications across the globe from its headquarters at Fort Meade, Md., south of Baltimore.

The Drake case “is an indication that the government overreached in its

original indictment and this case needs to prompt a reassessment to the government’s whole approach to leaks,” said Steven Aftergood, who monitors government secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists.

But Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, predicted the administration will continue to go after whistleblowers at intelligence agencies “very, very aggressively.” Dalglish said the government sees Drake as a disgruntled for mer contractor.

“It’s not likely the administration will back off,” said David Sobel, senior counsel at the Washington office of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “The Drake prosecution will, unfortunately, serve its purpose of creating a real disincentive for gover nment insiders who feel that they should reveal misconduct in their agencies.”

Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that there are available avenues for whistleblowers to report wrongdo-

Gov. Martinez gets bolder with the creation and use of Susana-PAC

SANTA FE — Susana-PAC has been formed to help elect courageous state and local leaders committed to the types of reforms that will move New Mexico forward.

We were all rather surprised when former Gov. Bill Richardson kept his political action committee going strong even after he won his second term as governor and dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

But now Gov. Martinez has taken the idea a step further.

First she used leftover PAC money from her campaign to buy radio ads and make robocalls to promote her legislative agenda.

Now she has created a second PAC to help fund state and local candidates who agree with her issues. What are those issues?

Martinez names three in her fundraising announcement — repealing driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, school reforms and lowering taxes.

JAY MILLER

INSIDE THE CAPITOL

Martinez’s e-mail announcement came from a post office box in Albuquerque so it is legit as far as not using government money.

The forwarded e-mail I received happened to come from a state employee. It went to a personal email address so that is OK. It does raise the question, however, of how many state employees received that solicitation. The person who received this e-mail has no idea how Susana-PAC got his personal e-mail address.

Richardson helped legislative candidates also, sometimes even in primary elections. But he did it more quietly than Martinez.

Maybe this is part of the “boldness” she talked about.

Gov. Martinez didn’t get off to an especially bold start. Political observers somewhat expected her to hit the Legislature with an overwhelming array of programs and promises as Richardson had.

But Martinez started slowly, taking her time with Cabinet appointments and submitting legislation primarily in areas with which she had worked as a district attorney.

So we will see a different type of boldness from Martinez. She has demonstrated that boldness in the area of relaxing regulations on businesses — big and small.

Perhaps her biggest impact has been on the construction industry. She wants to streamline inspections and permitting so homes and buildings can be built quicker and easier. She thinks the job can be done with much fewer people. Reports I am receiving indicate that staff reductions already are on their way.

Soon after her election, Gov. Martinez appointed a Small Busi-

ness-Friendly Task Force to study all the rules and regulations of state government and determine which could be revised or rescinded to help small businesses.

The task force spent 90 days beginning in early January on its task and issued its 13-page report on April 1. Its first recommendation was that no state rule or regulation should be stronger than federal standards.

The report contains a six-page appendix relating solely to regulations of the Environment Department. Some 43 areas are identified for change. Well over half of them are not federally required.

That likely means that in the last eight years the Environment Department was very busy strengthening its rules and regulations.

Did these changes hurt New Mexico’s ability to attract and retain businesses? Probably. Will revising or rescinding them jeopardize the health, safety or wel-

fare of New Mexicans? Probably.

Ideally, all factors will be carefully considered. But that isn’t likely. Environmentalists reigned during the past eight years. Business will have its way now.

The task force is totally composed of business people. Not many can claim to be small business. The 43 areas they want changed in the Environmental Department mostly af fect big business.

This is going to be a huge undertaking. The 26 or so task force members will probably work independently or in small groups to draft new regulations worded to their desires.

Administrative changes do not normally require legislation, so much may happen quietly behind closed doors.

The state of news

Sunday will mark the 17th anniversary of a seminal moment in American journalism. In the late evening of June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death outside of her condominium in the Brentwood district of west Los Angeles.

Thus began the O.J. Simpson case, which needs no review here. It dominated news coverage for 18 months.

People couldn’t get enough O.J., and CNN, then the only major cable news outlet, was happy to provide it.

Network news responded with what Dan Rather, the longtime CBS news anchor, sneeringly called “news lite.”

Hard news about public policy gave way to celebrities and lifestyle features, particularly those with a vague connection to real news.

The trend accelerated in 1996, when CNN was joined by Fox News and MSNBC. The 24-hour news beast demanded constant feeding.

The next big moment was Aug. 31, 1997, when Princess Diana was killed in a car wreck. Traditional hard news outlets underestimated the appeal of the story, but the cable outlets didn’t.

The movement reached maturity, so to speak, the following January, when news broke that President Bill Clinton had had a White House dalliance with an intern, Monica Lewinsky. This was not a celebrity tragedy, but a politicocelebrity sex scandal was even better.

Nobody had to die.

And so we come to this week when the news is dominated by two stories: Rep. Anthony Weiner’s, D-N.Y., twisted Twittering habits, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s decision to enhance her brand by taking a family vacation on a big, patriotically wrapped bus.

Seventeen years post-O.J., the flower of American letters no longer is capable of discerning whether this is real news or not, and if so, how much attention it merits.

With 24-hour news and the Internet, the old concept of a limited “news hole” has disappeared. Never mind the antiquated notion of journalistic responsibility. Fill the time and space with what you think people are most likely to watch and read.

At the risk of spoiling the party, we would like to point out that in those big, boring white buildings in Washington, D.C., people — many of uncertain intellectual independence — are determining the economic future of the United States. One in five American workers is, for all intents and purposes, out of work. Eighty-seven percent of America’s wealth is held by 20 percent of its population. The national debt is $14.3 trillion.

The nation is spending $2 billion a week in Afghanistan, propping up one of the most corrupt governments since Caligula’s. Five soldiers and a Marine were killed there in the last week. Outgoing Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates concluded his final trip there on Tuesday by channeling the late Gen. William C. Westmoreland: “I leave Afghanistan today with the belief that if we keep this momentum up we will deliver a decisive blow to the enemy and turn the corner on this conflict.”

After we deliver that decisive blow and turn the corner, maybe we will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Meanwhile, in Iraq (remember Iraq?) five U.S. soldiers were killed Monday in a rocket attack. At least spending there is down to $1.3 billion a week.

The nation has serious problems.

Anthony Weiner isn’t one of them.

Sarah Palin’s vacation isn’t one of them. News judgment is.

One might expect a conservative like me to pile on Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), joining many of my fellow conservatives on the heap. I’ve heard the jokes and read the double entendre headlines in the New York Post and other publications.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have itchy, dry eyelids that burn.

My doctor prescribed 10 milligrams of prednisone, a steroid. It seemed to help, at least while I was taking it, but I can feel the burning sensation coming back.

He asked me if I had done something new or contaminated my eye, but I can’t think of anything that I’ve applied or eaten differently. I don’t wear eye makeup.

Is there something safe that I can put on my eyelid that will help with that? I’m assuming it’s either psoriasis or eczema of the eyelid. I’ve looked online for a cure, and there seem to be so many people with this ailment who can’t seem to find relief. I hope you can help.

There are at least two truths emerging from this tawdry episode of tweeting half and

ASK DR. GOTT UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

DEAR READER: Unfortunately, the cure for itchy eyelids depends on the source of the irritation, so I cannot be as precise as I might like, but I will hit on a few possibilities.

Blepharitis can be caused by a bacterial infection, allergies, rosacea, eyelash mites and more. The outside of the lid will be crusted and look like dandruff. Dryness, swelling,

apparently fully naked pictures of the congressman to women he did not know (though it would not have been any better had he known the women).

First, despite the posturing of some Republicans, no one should claim he (or she) would not do the same thing, or something worse, given similar circumstances and opportunity. Weiner’s “crime” is that he is a sinner like the rest of us. The pictures illustrate a personal moral failing. The lying about it was a breach of trust and offense to the House of Representatives and to the people of his district who put

sufficient faith in him to elect him to of fice and pay his salary and benefits. His colleagues and his constituents have a right to expect honesty and some self-control from someone placed in high office.

The second truth is that the expectations of our culture are now so low that we no longer honor and value people of integrity, only celebrity. It matters not how one becomes famous. It matters only that they are known outside their circle of family and friends.

Have you noticed any maga-

itching, crusting, burning and redness may also occur.

Treatment includes warm compresses and daily cleansing of the edges of the eyelids with baby shampoo or special cleaners to help remove skin oils. In some cases, antibiotic ointments or topical steroids may be recommended.

Conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pink eye, is commonly caused by allergies, a virus or bacteria. Itching, burning and redness will be present.

This unpleasant condition will disappear in a matter of days without treatment in almost half of all cases. In those cases with persistent symptoms from a bacterial infection, there are a number

of prescription drugs your physician might consider. Frequent hand washing is vital.

Allergies can occur at any time of the year as the result of dust, pollen, mold, grass, fragrances and chemicals, with the eyes literally bearing the brunt of the problem with itching, irritation, redness, pain and a host of other symptoms. Exposure can be so minimal as to be inconsequential. For example, I had one patient who cleaned a bathroom floor with a well-known cleaner the day before. By the following morning, her eyes had all the classic symptoms.

She vociferously denied using anything unusual but did so

Forgive others as you would want them to forgive you Roswell Daily Record

Have you ever heard, “I can never forgive him for doing that?” Or “I can forgive, but I will never forget?’

How about “I will never forgive myself for what I did?” What is this thing called “forgiveness” and why is it the biggest obstacle many people ever have to overcome?

I read once that goldfish have a memory span of only three seconds.

I am not sure how anyone could or why anyone would figure this out! If man’s memory was this short, we would never have to worry about forgiving. Our inability to remember would erase the past and make every day a new day. There would be some major advantages to having a short memory span. There would also be some major disadvantages. Regardless, a very short memory span would have a significant impact on every close relationship.

In the “Men in Black” movies they use a “neuralizer.” One flash and an experience is erased from the subject’s memory! Such an invention would make having a short memory span optional. If we all had neuralizers in most instances we wouldn’t need to forgive. Erasing experiences from our memory would leave nothing to forgive.

But when God made us, He gave us memories. And He didn’t provide us with neuralizers.

Our memory, although an asset in most instances, can be our biggest liability. I believe those who can’t forget are worse off than those who can’t remember. In other words, it is not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, that is critical to maximizing our potential.

When we think about forgiveness, we keep a double standard. We want, we expect others to forgive us when we wrong

another. We can rationalize our own behavior in our own mind. It makes sense to us. Yet we don’t forgive others. What others do makes no sense to us. What were they thinking? Although we can rationalize our behavior, we are unable to understand or justify others. We judge others by their actions and we judge ourselves by our intentions.

It is no wonder we have such a hard time forgiving others; some of us can’t even forgive ourselves! We are unable to conquer the results we reap from our own poor choices.

Through true forgiveness we let go of the past. On a private and internal level, our failure to forgive ourself weighs us down and keeps us from flying high and meeting our potential. We beat ourselves up repeatedly and live in the past rather than moving forward focusing on our future ahead.

The failure to forgive others dooms many relationships. How many of you have been involved in a heated discussion with a loved one or a fellow worker and, rather than facing the issue at hand, they reach back and pull some act or event out of the past and use the incident as a club to beat you up? You are talking about problem A that presently exists and as soon as you begin to make progress on resolving issue

A, the other person reaches five years back and pulls out event X where you made a bad decision. You now no longer address A, but you relive event X. The communication breaks down and you no longer can address problem A that needs addressing.

Obviously event X has never truly been forgiven.

What is the worst thing you have ever done? Have you truly been broken by the event? Have you sincerely asked those whom you wronged for forgiveness? There comes a time when everyone involved needs to move on. Marlene Dietrich said, “Once a woman has forgiven a man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.” As a lawyer I have seen many marriages fail because one spouse or the other insists on reaching back into the past and reopening an old, deep wound and make it fester again.

True forgiveness means burying the hatchet and then forgetting where you buried it. The problem with most of us is that, although we bury the hatchet, we put up a marker where it is buried so we can find it again in the event we ever need to.

Don’t waste your time burying the hatchet if you intend to use it again.

Martin Luther preached, “Forgiveness is God’s command.” In the Bible at Ephesians 4:31-32 we are told, “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice; and be ye kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ’s sake, hath forgiven you.”

Why do we have such a hard time forgiving? Think of the worst thing anyone has intentionally done to you. Has the person

Alice’s involvement with the U.S. Congress began in 1980, when Congressman Joe Skeen asked her to work in his Roswell office. She continued working for Rep. Skeen for over twenty years—experience that made her an invaluable part of my own office. Her public service continued even through personal tragedy. When her husband Bud passed away soon after being elected as a County Commissioner, Alice again answered the call to serve, and asked to be appointed to serve in his stead.

She was later re-elected and served Chaves County as a Commissioner for over six years. As Commissioner, Alice was well-known for her responsible financial management, and locals have even said that her work helped

several of their own in the ethical and moral ditch.

One senses a rush to get this over with before election season is upon us.

Rep. Pelosi has asked the House Ethics Committee to take up the matter.

I am not a sex addiction expert, but my wife, a retired family therapist, earned a certificate in sex addiction as part of her post-graduate education. She says that Rep. Weiner has an obvious problem. Therapy is available for such things, she says, but like all addictions, it requires a humbling of one’s self.

Humility is not a surplus commodity among many members of Congress.

This conservative hopes Rep. Weiner gets help for his problem and that his wife stays with him and encourages him in his treatment. His rehabilitation should be the goal. It is a “family value” all of us could applaud, regardless of political differences.

asked for forgiveness? Have you accepted their request? Now think of Jesus when he was hanging on the cross. In the final hour of his life he looked down at the very men who were killing him and with love in his eyes he asked “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” What an example he gave to us! The men below him didn’t even ask for forgiveness. And we can’t forgive another for doing something simple to us.

I remember a Sunday School lesson on forgiveness about twenty years ago. One person in the class likened forgiveness to a thunderous waterfall. He said forgiveness needs to flow like water over a waterfall: constantly running and as a river pours down to the waiting pool below, more comes right behind it, never ceasing.

My challenge to you today is to truly forgive those who have wronged you. You can do it if you sincerely want to. If not for them, then do it for yourself. If you can’t forgive them, you are hurting yourself worse than them. It is like pointing at them and wishing bad on them and then drinking poison yourself. William Walton said, “To carry a grudge is like being stung to death by one bee.” It is not the other who dies a slow death, it is yourself.

Forgive others as you would want them to forgive you. Forgive others with all you have. Forgive as a raging water pours over a waterfall, without ever ceasing.

Other projects at the library

Dear Editor The Friends of the Roswell Public Library wishes to thank the Daily Record for the article on the Vista page of May 29, 2011; however, we would like to make the public more aware of other projects the Friends are involved with.

Our Books on Wheels program has helped homebound individuals since 1998. This opportunity gives personal contact to someone that isn’t able to come into the library to check out their own books. A volunteer of the Friends will do that for them and then deliver the books and return to pick them up. Anyone interested in receiving this help may call the library at 622-7101.

For over 15 years the Friends of the Library has offered a service of donating condensed Reader’s Digest books to all area hotels and motels. Recently our two hospitals and area nursing homes have been included to receive these books. The books are for travelers or patients to enjoy. They may take theses books with them when they leave if they have not finished them.

The Friends of the Library continue to give its support to the library through special programs and events. We sponsor the Summer Reading Program and author visits.

Next year we have two well-known authors coming in to help celebrate New Mexico’s one hundred year anniversary.

We continue to have great success at Books Again, a used book store at 404 West Second Street. The store is staffed by volunteers of Friends of the Library. Through this endeavor we have been able to give back to this community through donations to the library, Juvenile Detention Center, ENMMC, JOY Center and Youth ChalleNge. The Roswell Public Library is a great library. The Friends of this library are glad to offer their support in making this library an even better asset to Roswell and Chaves County.

We would welcome your membership as a Friend of the Roswell Public Library.

Exercising safety and responsibility during wildfire season

Continuously, there have been wildfires burning all over the Southwest. As we speak, the air quality in several areas of New Mexico is poor due to smoke from a devastating wildfire burning in Arizona. Many areas have been closed by the Forest Service as a result of the extreme fire danger in most parts of New Mexico. So when I got this wildfire safety idea and began to think about camping and campfires, my first thought was “YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!” Who would even consider such a thing in this hot and very dry summer?

Certainly, I know that there are people and families who are planning such trips, and who will do so quite safely and with great care. Importantly, however, you should find out some very clear information before you travel.

Make very sure that you can legally camp or have some kind of family outing in the forest at all. I just glanced at a website and found that there are different rules in all parts of the state. For example, the Lincoln National Forest is has a Full Forest Closure due to the danger of fire.

Several other public lands have the same situation. On the other hand, there are some areas of the state which

Additionally, for those of you who may own property in areas of extreme fire danger, I found a great booklet published by the International Association of Fire Chiefs. You can find it at iafc.org/ReadySet/Go . It includes a Wildfire Action Plan, which is intended to save lives and property through advance planning. It defines “defensible space” which firefighters need to protect your home, and such things as a “hardened home,” which will have the best chance to survive a wildfire. There are also checklists to prepare a family for an emergency.

There will come a time when we can safely enjoy a few days in the forest, when we can camp out and build a campfire with confidence. Meanwhile, however, we must be very, very careful in what we do. For those of you who do travel to campgrounds or to the mountains, educate yourself in how to do that without placing yourself, those you love, and the land you love in jeopardy.

Thinking about setting up a Neighborhood Watch? Call Richard and Steve at 622-SAFE (7233) for information.

And don’t forget, the number for Chaves County Crime Stoppers is 1-888-594-TIPS (8477).

allow certain camping, but with very severe restrictions.

(Personally, I think I’ll go to the golf course!)

Allow me to direct you to a website which will be beneficial to you for these purposes. Under publiclands.org/firenews/NM you will find a great deal of information. You can start there and undoubtedly find plenty of other sites for detailed information not only for New Mexico, but for other states as well.

Shaffer said the forecast for today was “pretty scary.”

“It’s looking very unsettled, and they’re predicting winds out of the southeast to the northeast and heavy impact along Interstate 40 ... It’s very problematic for both states.”

New Mexico officials were continuously monitoring air quality in their state and are advising residents from the Arizona border to Albuquerque to pay close attention to conditions.

“The people we’re most concerned about are obviously those with chronic health conditions but when air quality gets this bad it can actually have negative effects on everybody,” said Chris Minnick, a spokesman for the New Mexico Department of Health.

He said the state planned to issue an alert to residents Saturday to take precautions if the smoke gets worse, such as avoiding

In limine comes from the Latin word “threshold” and refers to a motion made at the start of a trial requesting that the judge rule that certain evidence may not be introduced.

According to the documents filed in Chaves County Magistrate Court, the motion would have denied “defense or their witnesses ... from eliciting or volunteering information regarding the defendant’s motive behind the abusing and battering,” including the information that “the defendant allegedly learned from her husband ... that he was involved in a relationship with another person.”

More than 30 homes have been destroyed since the fire began May 29, thousands of residents have fled communities and the blaze posed a potential danger to two major power lines that bring electricity from Arizona to West Texas, although officials said Saturday they had so far been able to protect the routes.

The fire began spotting across the state line Friday night and 150 additional firefighters and several fire engines were sent to bolster forces already waiting in New Mexico, officials said.

Lighter winds Thursday and Friday helped the 4,400 firefighters make progress, but critical fire conditions remain for the 4,400 firefighters working the blaze.

Containment regressed slightly to just 5 percent, on the northeastern edge.

Nearly 10,000 people have been evacuated from the towns of Springerville and Eagar and from several other mountain communithe infor mation which was requested to be suppressed pertains to the current employment status of either the defendant or the victim.

Carrizozo Magistrate Court judge Martha Proctor said she would not be considering the limine motion while the parties are negotiating a resolution.

Jeannie Madsen, an 11-year veteran of the Roswell Police Department, was arrested on Jan. 9 in connection with a domestic violence incident that occurred the previous night.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Magistrate Court, Madsen stated that he and his wife got into a verbal argument, and “she kicked him and struck him, causing bruises and scrapes.”

The fire is the secondlargest in state history and could eclipse the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire in size, although only a fraction of the homes have burned.

That blaze bur ned 732 square miles and destroyed 491 buildings.

The current Wallow Fire in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest has destroyed 31 homes or cabins, fire spokesman Jim Whittington said. Two dozen outbuildings and a truck also were lost and five homes damaged in Greer when the fire moved in Wednesday night.

Firefighters are battling another major wildfire in far southeastern Arizona, also near the New Mexico line. The Horseshoe Two blaze burned through 211 square miles or 135,000 acres of brush and timber since it started in early May. The fire has destroyed 23 structures but caused no serious injuries. It was 45 percent contained and fire officials hope to have it fully contained by late June. police chief Dennis Kintigh was unwilling to discuss the cause of the altercation.

Sgt. Eric Madsen was placed on paid leave the day after his wife’s arrest.

On Feb. 16, City Manager Larry Fry confirmed that Sgt. Eric Madsen was not “working for the (police) department any more.” Fry would not say if Madsen had been terminated, or if he resigned. City records indicated that Madsen’s status was changed to “discharged.”

Meanwhile Detective Madsen was allowed to return to work at the dispatch center.

Proctor approved the motion for continuance.

The motion also asks for an extension of the 180day time limit, which would have required the trial be set for September. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Under the proposal, the Jemez Pueblo and a Santa Fe developer and art dealer, Gerald Peters, would build a $55 million casino and hotel in Anthony. The plan was shot down in 2008 by the BIA, which said it was too far from the pueblo to generate jobs for the tribe.

The Obama Administration reopened the request for the Jemez proposal and a handful of other off-reservation casinos last year, but no one seems to know why, Chino said.

“Everyone we have talked to hasn’t been able to explain it,” said Chino.

“I am at a loss as to why the federal government chose to reopen those. If you go back ... they determined it wasn’t a viable project for a number of reasons. And now the Obama Administration, for whatever reasons, has chosen to take a second look at it. ...

Danny Camp, of Roswell, said he went to the exam after his daughter, Shannon, a nurse at the hospital, asked him.

It doesn’t pass the smell test.”

The BIA did not respond to questions from the Associated Press about the reason for the new review .

The gover nor of the Jemez Pueblo could not be reached Friday. But a spokeswoman for Peters, Denise Ramonas, disputed Chino’s assertions that Peters, rather than the Pueblo, had the most to gain. She cited a June 2008 ruling from the National Indian Gaming Commission that she said found that all the agreements between the pueblo and Peters complied with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Many, including Gov. Susana Martinez, are concer ned about the precedent that would be set if the project is approved. There currently are only five off-reservation casinos in the United States, all of which are within easy commuting distance of the tribes who run them.

“So the precedent that a 300-miles distance would create not only in the state of New Mexico physical exam was about five years ago.

Most patients had minor health issues, Chief Quality Of ficer Lisa Thompson said, but two men had “alar mingly high” blood sugar and pressure levels, and were referred to their primary care physicians.

Thompson, who helped organize the event, says the hospital is interested in of fering more health screenings in the future for

Asked if Martinez would sign of f the plan, her office said, “the Governor is not convinced that the benefits would outweigh the negative ef fects of precedent that would be set regarding of f-site gaming. She is most concerned about promoting diverse and lasting economic development in the region. As always, the governor is willing to listen to opposing views and fairly consider information provided by those who support a different position.”

The Las Cruces and Doña Ana chambers of commerce have endorsed the proposals, saying it will bring hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars to the area. the community, and also for private businesses, though no dates have been set yet.

“We’re locally owned, and we all live here,” she said, noting that the hospital employees volunteered to administer the exams.

“We’re loyal to our community, and we really wanted to do something like this.”

Schumacher called the screening a “huge success” and said, “We’re going to do it again.” emiller@roswell-record.com

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS BOISE STATE MEETS WITH NCAA COMMITTEE

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Boise State met with the NCAA Committee on Infractions on Friday to discuss violations by its highly successful football program and other sports.

The football violations under review were committed between 2005 and 2008. The program already is dealing with several selfimposed penalties, including fewer scholarships for the next two years and reduced practice time.

The sanctions are part of a broader penalty package put in place by university officials for violations that also involve men’s and women’s tennis, and track and field. An NCAA inquiry and an internal investigation by the school identified 22 infractions and an absence of institutional controls necessary to fully comply with rules governing collegiate athletic programs.

The meeting began at 8:30 a.m. and ended nearly 13 hours later. Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier said he would have no comment when approached Friday.

School administrators have said they believe the self-imposed penalties, which include a three-year probation period and steps to bolster its compliance office, will satisfy the NCAA. The university’s 1,500page response to the NCAA details a series of “secondary” violations by football staff during a fouryear period. During that time, coaches arranged for incoming players to get cheap transportation, meals and housing during voluntary summer workouts. The report states 63 prospective players received those benefits, valued at less than $5,000.

Invaders finish sweep of Carlsbad Section

Roswell right fielder Jake Bruns, left, slides safely into second base in front of Carlsbad second baseman Mike Goldy during the Invaders’ 9-5 win over Carlsbad at Joe Bauman Stadium, Saturday. The Invaders completed a four-game home sweep of the Bats with the win.

Heading into Game 23 of an inaugural season, the list of firsts that grew faster than the national debt at the start of the season tends to taper off.

In the Roswell Invaders’ 23rd game, the list of firsts grew by at least one as the green-clad team climbed above .500 for the first time with a 9-5 win over Carlsbad that completed a fourgame sweep over the Bats.

Carlsbad took the first lead of the game in the first when Christian Lopez scored on a double by Jeff Forgerson, but the Invaders answered in the bottom of the inning.

Clifton Thomas started the Roswell first with a double to the gap in left and scored two batters later on an RBI groundout by Brian Ramirez.

Roswell coach Chris Paterson said that falling behind early isn’t so bad for his team.

“Falling behind early isn’t bad if it’s only one, two or three runs,” he said. “Espe-

cially with our offense. We can play small ball to get back in it.”

Roswell’s Brian Fowler sat the Bats down in order in the second and the Invaders took the lead for good in the home half of the inning.

Adrian Martinez led off the bottom of the second with a walk and advanced to second on single by Jake Bruns. A groundout by Matt Palko advanced both runners.

After a shallow fly out by Fowler, Josh Cakebread gave Rowell the lead with a three-run homer that just cleared the wall in right.

The Bats cut the lead to two in the third when Forgerson drove in another run, but Roswell answered right back.

Roswell’s first two batters of the third flew out before A.J. Morris drew a walk.

Martinez followed the walk by hitting a chopper down the third-base line and Carlsbad’s Mike Cavazos threw wide of first. Morris scored all the way from first on the error and Martinez

Nursery chosen as Ruler On Ice wins Belmont Golf Classic charity The Working Mothers’ Day Nursery has been selected as the primary beneficiary of the 2011 Rotary Desert Sun Golf Classic, the tournament’s organizers announced in a release.

The nursery’s request for a new heating and cooling system was selected after a careful review of more than 20 requests from local charitable organizations, according to the release.

Working Mothers’ Day Nursery has been providing childcare in Roswell for more than 50 years and currently serves about 100 children in a modern facility on East Bland Street. According to Roswell Mayor Del Jurney, the executive director of Family Resource and Referral, the building continues to serve the community well, but its seven

aging heating and cooling units are in need of replacement, with a price tag of almost $22,500.

“That is a great deal of money for us, so we decided to ask the Rotary Desert Sun Golf Classic for help,” Jurney said in the release. “The tournament has a long history of helping non-profit organizations like us and we’re thrilled to be this year’s main beneficiary.”

The Rotary Desert Sun Golf Classic, which is set for July 14-17, is a PGAsanctioned tournament that attracts professional and amateur golfers from across the southwest.

Last year’s Classic raised $45,000 and funded 11 charitable requests.

Since its inception, the Classic has generated more than $500,000 for charitable causes in Chaves County.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom nearly fell at the start. Preakness winner Shackleford faded in the stretch. The Belmont Stakes was up for grabs.

And it was 24-1 long shot Ruler on Ice who delivered a huge upset Saturday in the final leg of the Triple Crown, splashing his way to a three-quarter length victory over Stay Thirsty.

As expected, Shackleford led from the start but when the field of 12 turned for home in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont, he tired in the muck as long shots Ruler On Ice and Stay Thirsty passed him by.

“Ruler wasn’t slowing down,” winning jockey Jose Valdivia Jr. said. “It was a great feeling the last sixteenth of a mile.”

The much-hyped rubber match between Shackleford and Animal Kingdom never developed on a rainy day at Belmont Park. Shackleford finished fifth, while Animal Kingdom had a frightful

start, never moved into contention and finished sixth.

Jockey John Velazquez nearly fell off when Animal Kingdom collided with Monzon just after the start.

He somehow managed to get his left foot back into the stirrup, but by then it

was too late. Animal Kingdom had dropped more than 13 lengths of f the lead, and did well to finish in the middle of the pack.

“The horse almost fell down,” said Graham Motion, Animal Kingdom’s

win by a neck over Dominyun, while JD Baccarat was another threequarters of a length back for third place.

Llano Teller, in the second post position, raced side-by-side with secondplace finisher Dominyun, in the first post position, in what turned out to be a virtual match race.

“He warmed up like a pro and it was uneventful in the gate, just what we want,” said Carter, who scored his first Ruidoso Derby win. “He broke about a neck in front and Dominyun may have gotten his head in front about halfway down there. But, he took on the challenge and got the win.”

The son of All American Futurity winner Teller Cartel had a consistent and productive 2-year-old campaign and now is leading the top-tier of the 3-yearold division.

“It really looks like he can run on down the track (440 yards),” said winning

trainer Heath Reed. “He tore up a quarter (part of his hoof) last year and we’ve changed his shoeing.

He lost a shoe in his trial, but he didn’t hurt himself.”

Llano Teller’s tenacity last year resulted in a win in the Grade 1, $200,000 Remington Park Futurity and a close third-place finish in the Grade 1, $1 million Heritage Place Futurity from his first four starts, all at Remington Park. He then came to Ruidoso Downs and qualified for the Grade 1, $625,000 Rainbow Futurity and moved on to Lone Star Park near Dallas to qualify for the Grade 1, $1.037 million Texas Classic Futurity.

trainer. “Johnny couldn’t believe the horse stayed up.

He lost his iron. It took him until halfway around the turn to get his foot back in the iron. It’s disappointing not to give the horse a chance to run his race.”

An elated Valdivia, riding in his first Belmont, described the final seconds of the race while on the gallop back to the winner’s circle.

“I’m a couple of yards from the wire and I’m thinking, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, I’m going to win the Belmont,”’ he said.

A crowd of 55,779 turned out hoping to see a stretch showdown between Animal Kingdom and Shackleford — the first Derby vs. Preakness winners in the Belmont in six years. But that vanished once the Derby

winner was knocked around in a bad bit of racing luck.

“It was unbelievable,” Velazquez said. “They came over on me and clipped heels and I almost came off. I had a horrible trip. No way was he going to make up that much ground. He’s still a great horse.”

The Belmont has a history of surprise finishes, from spoiled T riple Crown attempts to stunning shockers.

Only two favorites have won since Thunder Gulch in 1995, and long shots have been the norm. Last year, it was 13-1 Drosselmeyer, two years ago Summer Bird at 11-1, and three years ago Da’ Tara at 38-1.

Birdstone spoiled Smarty Jones’ bid for a T riple Crown in 2004 at odds of 36-1 and Sarava ended War Emblem’s T riple try in 2002 at 70-1 odds.

The win left Lori Hall,

“It was amazing, because we really were the underdog,” she said.

Ruler On Ice’s victory makes it three years in a row a different horse has won each of the T riple Crown races, and next year it will be a 33-year gap since Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978.

Ruler On Ice, trained by New Jersey-based Kelly Breen, did not run in the first two legs of the Triple Crown. The 3-year-old did not have enough graded stakes earnings to qualify for the Derby, but vindicated his trainer’s faith by defeating a field that included the first seven finishers in the Run for the Roses.

By The Associated Press TORONTO (AP) — John Lackey made up for a terrible first start in Toronto this season, No. 9 hitter Jason Varitek homered and drove in four runs and the Boston Red Sox routed the Toronto Blue Jays 16-4 on Saturday.

Lackey (4-5) delivered six strong innings in his second start since going on the disabled list after giving up nine runs in 6 2⁄3 innings against the Blue Jays on May 11. The right-hander struck out a season-high eight.

Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow (2-4) gave up a career-worst nine earned runs, 10 hits and three walks in 4 1⁄3 innings, his shortest outing this season.

Yankees 4, Indians 0 NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch after he homered, Bartolo Colon tossed two-hit ball into the seventh inning before getting hurt and New York beat Cleveland on a misty, windy afternoon.

Curtis Granderson hit his 20th homer to tie for the major league lead.

Mitch Talbot (2-3) was ejected after hitting A-Rod, but the Yankees didn’t respond in kind.

Instead, they sent Cleveland to its 13th loss in 17 games and left the Indians barely clinging to first place in the AL Central.

Colon (5-3) struck out six over 6 2⁄3 innings to win for the third straight start. Mark Teixeira also homered for the Yankees.

Twins 8, Rangers 1 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Scott Baker pitched a five-hitter for his fourth career complete game and Alexi Casilla had three hits

year and has matured this year,” said Carter.

Following minor surgery and a 6-month rest, Reed brought Llano Teller back for the Ruidoso Derby trials and the gutty gelding stepped up with a one-half length win while losing the shoe. In that trial, he defeated Dominyun by one-half length while Unanchored, who also qualified for the Ruidoso Derby, finished third.

“He might not be the fastest horse in the race, but he really tries, said Reed.

Runner-up Dominyun and third-place finisher JD Baccarat each turned in efforts that assured their connections.

“We’re really proud of him,” said Dominyun’s breeder -owner Bobby Cox. “He ran well; he just came up short.”

The powerful son of Mr Jess Perry is a few close margins away from substantially adding to his career bankroll of $304,995. He was third, just beaten by a head in the Grade 1, $2 million All American Futurity on

ended up at second.

Bruns drove in Martinez on a double that gave the Invaders a 6-1 lead.

Carlsbad closed to within 7-5 in the eighth, but Roswell tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom of the inning and Reed Brown shut down the Bats in the ninth to preserve the win.

Paterson said that his pitchers were solid during the sweep.

“Fowler did a great job,”

and scored two runs, leading Minnesota over Texas.

Delmon Young had three hits and two RBIs for the Twins, who have won eight of 11.

Brian Dinkelman had a two-run single for his first career RBIs. Tigers 8, Mariners 1 DETROIT (AP) — Max Scherzer found his form after three rocky starts, Austin Jackson tripled twice and Detroit beat Seattle to move within one percentage point of firstplace Cleveland in the AL Central after being as many as eight games behind in early May. Victor Martinez had three hits and two RBIs for the Tigers, and Jhonny Peralta smacked a two-run homer.

Scherzer (8-2) allowed one run and four hits in seven innings to tie for the AL lead in wins.

Mariners rookie Michael Pineda (6-4) had the worst start of his brief career, giving up a career-high six runs — five earned — and eight hits in 5 1⁄3 innings.

Rays 7, Orioles 5, 11 innings BALTIMORE (AP) — Ben Zobrist got four extra-base hits and scored four runs, including the tiebreaker in the 11th inning on a single by Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria.

Longoria had three RBIs and Casey Kotchman went 4 for 6 with two RBIs for the Rays, who forced extra innings with a run in the ninth off Baltimore closer Kevin Gregg.

Zobrist had three doubles and a triple. He started the 11th with a double off Jeremy Accardo (3-2) and took third on a groundout.

After Longoria hit a soft liner to center, Kotchman followed with an RBI double.

Juan Cruz (4-0) got two outs in the 10th and Kyle Farnsworth worked the 11th for his 14th save.

White Sox 3, Athletics 2 CHICAGO (AP) — Brent Lillibridge helped make John Danks a winner with a homer-saving catch in the eighth inning, and the White Sox beat Oakland.

Lillibridge robbed Oakland’s Coco Crisp with a leaping catch above the wall. That turned out to be the last batter Danks (2-8) faced. He allowed just four hits, struck out four and walked two in 7 2⁄3 innings.

Athletics starter Gio Gonzalez (5-5) is winless in his last five starts. He allowed three runs in 5 1⁄3 innings, five hits, a career-high seven walks, hit a batter, committed a balk and threw two wild pitches.

Angels 7, Royals 5 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Erick Aybar opened the scoring with a three-run triple, Bobby Abreu came home with the go-ahead run on reliever Aaron Crow’s second wild pitch of the seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak with a 7-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.

Third-place finisher JD Baccarat was gelded before the Ruidoso Derby trials and it has paid off for the member of the Paul Jones barn.

“He has matured and gelding him has really helped,” said Lisa Saumell, who runs Jones’ New Mexico operation.

Another son of Mr Jess Perry, JD Baccarat was winless from four starts last year, although he qualified for the All American Futurity. He the won his maiden in his Ruidoso Derby trial and showed promise with his third-place run in the Ruidoso Derby.

“This whole race was pretty even,” said Saumell. “Llano Teller was the best horse and deserves the win.”

The $702,896 purse surpassed the previous record purse of $569,143 set last year and the $351,449 first-place check earned by Llano Teller is more than the total purse of $308,267 in the 2009 running. he said. “He really contained Carlsbad. (All of our pitchers) did a really good job all four games.”

While Roswell improved to 12-11 with the win, Carlsbad fell to 0-23 and Paterson said that was in the back of everyone’s mind.

“We knew we had to sweep them to get above .500 and back into the playoff race,” he said. “(Carlsbad being winless) was in the back of everybody’s mind.”

Thomas led Roswell with three runs, while Bruns and Justin Uribe collected two hits each for Roswell. l.foster@roswell-record.com

Locked out? NFL training camp sites start to sweat

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jake’s Stadium Pizza has been a fastfood fixture on the Minnesota State University campus for nearly four decades. This summer, they’re cooking that thin crust with crossed fingers in Mankato, Minn.

The NFL lockout, now headed toward its fourth month, is threatening a revenue-driving, profile-raising event for this small, family-owned business: Vikings training camp.

“We’re hoping they get it done, because it’s not just us. It’s the whole state that will suffer,” said Wally Boyer, the owner of the joint where players from Jim Marshall to John Randle have recuperated after many a draining workout. Fans, too, have long made that familiar walk down Stadium Road after watching practice to fill up and cool off.

If the work stoppage lingers long enough to keep teams holding traditional training camps, the hit would be felt far beyond Minnesota, and it wouldn’t just be about losing money.

In upstate New York, the Jets have trained on the SUNY Cortland campus the last two years.

“Just their presence alone has stimulated people. It’s just good for the mental health of the community,” said Cortland State football coach Dan MacNeill. “For our people, it’s been fun. It has impacted the football program.

We don’t have normal use of our facilities. But an NFL franchise, no matter where you go, there’s a heck of a following.”

Seventeen of the 32 NFL teams last year held training camp at their year-round facilities, reflecting a trend toward cost-and-time ef ficiency in an era in which chemistry is built and conditioning established well before the two-a-day grind in August.

But the other 15 teams still take their show on the road, many of them to slower -paced cities and small colleges where their presence is a big deal — and

An NFL football sits on a cooler as New York Jets defensive end Jamaal Westerman stands nearby, Thursday, as a group of players hold an informal practice in Morris County, N.J. The NFL’s ongoing lockout doesn’t just affect the players and owners, its effects are felt by many small businesses that rely on the revenue generated during team training camps.

a big financial boon.

Some people make a summer vacation out of watching their favorite team run drills and scrimmages. Day-trippers at least stop for a bite to eat on the way out of town.

The Cardinals have held camp at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff since 1988, and the school’s Rural Policy Institute estimated it brought $7 million to the local economy last year, with an overall impact of $10 million.

There were over 38,000 visitors, 81 percent of those from out of town, along with 122 jobs created by the camp.

In southern Minnesota, a 90minute drive from the Twin Cities, Vikings training camp makes a $5 million impact on the region, said Anna Thill, president of the Greater Mankato Convention and Visitors Bureau. Last year, it drew 60,000 visitors from at least 30 states, and a few foreign countries.

The university charges $7 for parking near the practice fields, but that’s only part of the story.

The school also receives tremendous exposure.

“They do bring people here, and young people are introduced to the campus. There’s certainly a

marketing value to the Vikings being here that is dif ficult to determine,” said Michael Cooper, the university’s media relations director.

Whether it’s Westminster, Md., Anderson, Ind., or Spartanburg, S.C., the reflected glamour of having an NFL team in town for a few weeks can go a long way.

“You can’t put a price on it, to be honest. Newspaper articles go out every day that have Georgetown, Ky., as the dateline. It puts the community on the map,” said John Simpson, executive director of the Georgetown/Scott County Tourism Commission. The Ben-

gals train at Georgetown College, about 100 miles south of Cincinnati.

The Vikings’ presence was enough to get Jake’s Stadium Pizza a mention in Sports Illustrated once. Boyer said his business spikes about 20 percent during camp.

“It’s a lot of frosting on the cake,” he said.

Even some of the teams that don’t train off site, like the Washington Redskins, make a mark on local economies. Visit Loudoun president Patrick Kaler said his group estimates a $600,000 impact to the Virginia county during camp alone.

“It brings in a lot of people who just drive in. They’re staying in the hotels, they’re going to restaurants, doing other things while they’re here, so it’s a big deal for us. That helps put us on the map,” Kaler said. “How many people know where Loudoun County, Virginia, is?”

Start dates are staggered by team, but generally training camps begin the last week of July — seven weeks or so from now.

There is plenty of time for NFL owners and players to reach an agreement by then, but teams and their hosts need some lead time to make arrangements.

For the Jets, early July is essentially the deadline for a new collective bargaining agreement in order to commit to Cortland for 2011. Team spokesman Bruce Speight said that’s “an internal point of reference. There is some leeway, and it is subject to developments.”

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league “has set no such date” for an agreement to ensure the opening of normal training camps.

So, at SUNY Cortland and several points west and south, they wait.

“Everybody is anxious,” MacNeill said.

One win from NBA title, Mavs not getting excited yet

MIAMI (AP) — Here’s where all their age and experience, heartbreak and disappointment actually benefit Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks.

They’ve had two days to get ready for Game 6 of the NBA finals — plenty of time to daydream about commissioner David Stern handing them the shiny, gold Larry O’Brien Trophy as confetti falls and they pull on hats and T-shirts with the words 2011 NBA champions.

Yet their steely resolve remains.

They’re strictly thinking about what it will take to beat the Miami Heat on Sunday night, not what will happen if they do.

“I don’t allow myself to sit back and relax now,” Nowitzki said Saturday. “In these playoffs, one win or one loss can switch the whole momentum. You don’t ever want a snowball to start. I don’t allow myself to sit back all of a sudden and be satisfied. We got one more big win hopefully to get, and then I can be satisfied.”

Nowitzki isn’t giving his version of the “one game at a time” cliche. He’s been this way the last two months — the last five years, really, ever since the Mavericks went from being on the verge of taking a 3-0 lead in the 2006 finals to

losing in six games. The Mavs wound up watching the Miami Heat celebrate their first championship on Dallas’ floor.

Nowitzki and Jason Terry are the only players left from that club, and the emotional scars from that collapse haven’t healed.

They could Sunday night.

But until it happens, they aren’t about to let their guard down. Terry, for instance, said Saturday he’s still haunted by the memory of his off-target jumper that could’ve sent the ’06 finale into overtime.

“Sometimes middle of the night, a lot of times first thing when I wake up in the morning,” he said. “Definitely every day when I walk into that gym, into that arena. It’s something you live with.”

The burden remains for everyone else in the organization.

Case in point: owner Mark Cuban’s continued silence, likely to be cracked only when the series is done.

“I think the first time in the finals, the experience was a little blissful,” said Donnie Nelson, the team’s president of basketball operations in ’06 and still today. “Eventually, we did get caught up in (thoughts of winning). Then that opportunity was ripped

How bad was it?

Dallas lost in the first round of the playoffs three of the last four years. Nelson and Cuban kept surrounding Nowitzki with older players, many past their prime. This season, the entire lot of them has a total of zero rings. They also are mostly in their 30s and veterans of at least 10 NBA seasons — guys like Jason Kidd, who has been to two NBA finals; or Shawn Marion and Peja Stojakovic, who in their prime were key players on perennial contenders that couldn’t get out of the conference finals.

“Every second-place guy goes through this, whether it’s the Olympics or minor league baseball,” Nelson said. “You’ve got to go through that pain. What it does, it creates an insatiable hunger. It forces you to be non-emotional about the moment because you will not allow yourself to get your hopes up. ... When someone steals your car or your girlfriend, you seldom get a second chance.

Tseng holds lead Karlsson leads by 1 in Memphis by 1 over Kim

Yani Tseng tees off on the first hole during the third round of the LPGA State Farm Classic, Saturday. Tseng, the No. 1 ranked player in the world, leads by a shot over Mindy Kim.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Top-ranked Yani Tseng shot her second straight 6-under 66 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Mindy Kim in the LPGA State Farm Classic Tseng reached 17 under, birdieing all four of Panther Creek’s par 5s in her bogey-free round. She won the season-opening LPGA Thailand for her sixth tour title in four years.

Kim, the leader after the first two rounds, bogeyed the final hole for a 69.

Playing a group apart, Kim and Tseng battled through most of the day, with Kim maintaining at least a share of the lead until her final hole.

“My goal is to have fun and make birdies,” Tseng said. “You’re not going to shoot even and then wait for another player to miss. You need to be aggressive.

I can’t wait to go out there tomorrow and make a lot of birdies.”

In addition to dominating the par 5s, she added birdied the par-4 12th and par-3 17th in tough afternoon wind.

“I just tried to be patient and hit the fairway and green and make two putt,” she said. “I feel really good. It was great even though I miss a putt on 18. I tried my best.”

Kim struggled with her ball-striking.

“My ball wasn’t going so straight,” she said, “but my round turned into a good round.”

She had six birdies on the day, including three in a row to start the back nine, but she also had three bogeys. Still, she’s playing in the final group with a chance to win her first LPGA Tour title.

“I’m excited about Sunday,” she said. “I’m playing with the No. 1 player in the world. I’m very excited to be playing with her. Hopefully it will be a good day.”

Brittany Lincicome, coming off a victory Sunday in New Jersey, shot a 66 to join Shanshan Feng (69) at 14 under. Defending champion Cristie Kerr (66) was another stroke back at 13 under.

Lincicome birdied five of the first eight holes.

“I was happy to be 3 under though four holes. I wanted to stop then,” she said. “I’d have taken 69.”

Kerr missed a 3-foot putt on No. 9, then birdied four of the next five holes en route to a back-nine 31.

Shane Carwin, right, fights Junior Dos Santos during their main event bout at UFC 131, Saturday.

Dos Santos beats Carwin

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Junior Dos Santos bloodied Shane Carwin to win a dominant decision at UFC 131 on Saturday night, earning a shot at heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez.

Twenty-two of their 26 combined fights had ended in the first round so no one was expecting a marathon.

And Dos Santos (13-1) almost finished Carwin in the first, with a barrage of unanswered blows.

But Carwin (12-2) stayed up and the Brazilian made him pay, using his superior striking to batter Carwin’s face.

The judges scored it 3027, 30-27, 30-26 for Dos Santos, who already is looking forward to his next fight.

“Cain, I’m coming for you,” he said.

“I’m excited,” said Velasquez, who entered the cage after the fight.

Kenny Florian won his debut at featherweight with a 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 decision over highly touted Brazilian Diego Nunes in the co-main event at Rogers Arena. Florian fought a smart fight, using his size and versatility to frustrate the flashy Nunes.

The Boston native was clearly the villain of the night, stemming from his Bruins jersey at the weighin. Vancouver faces Boston in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night, and the crowd chanted “Go Canucks Go” and jeered Florian during the fight.

“Despite the boos, I love you Vancouver,” Florian said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Robert Karlsson shot a 2under 68 Saturday to remain atop the leaderboard through three rounds at the St. Jude Classic.

Karlsson looked ready to run away from the field, leading by as much as five strokes on the back nine.

But the Swede closed with his only bogeys of the day on the final two holes, dropping to 11 under and one stroke ahead of Harrison Frazar.

Frazar said he thought Karlsson was in total control of the tournament so he focused only on playing. He got hot and birdied three of his final four holes to finish with a 64 that got him to 10 under. That included rolling in a 42-footer for birdie on No. 18.

John Merrick (67) is third, followed by Retief Goosen, who turned in the best 18hole score this week at TPC Southwind before being matched by Frazar. Fredrik Jacobson (68) and Keegan Bradley (70) are tied for fifth.

The 41-year-old Karlsson is in his first full year on the PGA Tour after earning an exemption by finishing in the top 125 on the money list with 11 events in 2010.

That included a secondplace finish here a year ago, when he lost a four -hole playoff to Lee Westwood in his best showing yet on the tour.

He is trying to become the seventh first-time winner on tour this year and the first player to win his first title in Memphis since Dicky Pride in 1994.

But Karlsson is no stranger to closing out tournaments. He has won 11 times on the European Tour and has yet to shoot over par on this course in seven rounds.

“Robert looks like he’s not going to fall back,” Goosen said. “Playing really solid.

Need to get another round like this in tomorrow to get a chance to catch him.”

Of course, Goosen made his remarks before Karlsson’s final two holes.

Karlsson was leading by four until he bogeyed No. 17 after sticking his approach into a greenside bunker. He blasted out to 14 feet and just missed the par putt.

Frazar finished up on 18 with his big birdie putt, and Karlsson’s second shot on the final hole landed well right of the green.

With water on the other side, Karlsson’s chip bounced once and stopped in the longer grass short of the green. Trying to save par, he came up 2 feet short and settled for a bogey that trimmed his lead to a mere stroke.

The TPC Southwind has been playing fairly tough for everyone but Karlsson, with the Champion Bermuda greens baked enough from temperatures in the mid90s to make them almost crusty.

The 6-foot-5 Karlsson posted pars on his first two holes and put distance between himself and playing partners Colt Knost and Bradley almost immediately.

Merrick gave chase with three straight birdies, his third moving him to 8 under

Robert Karlsson hits out of a bunker on the 17th hole during the third round of the St. Jude Classic, Saturday.

and just a stroke behind Karlsson. That was the closest anyone else got until the end of the round.

Karlsson got his first birdie with a 3-footer on the par-5 No. 3 and birdied No. 4 to push his lead back to three at 11 under. He rolled in a 35-footer for birdie on the par-4 No. 6 for a fourstroke lead that was the biggest this week until Merrick bogeyed No. 7 to make it five.

With the lead, Karlsson just methodically worked his way around the course.

He two-putted from 41 feet on No. 10, knocking down a 6-footer for par. He twoputted from 36 feet on the par-3 No. 14.

Karlsson managed to birdie even when he missed a couple fairways. He needed a drop after a ruling from an official when his tee shot on No. 15 landed near a drain right of the fairway 111 yards from the pin.

Karlsson stuck his shot within 7 feet and rolled in the putt to reach 13 under.

Frazar had seven birdies with a lone bogey.

She was bor n June 19, 1915, in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, where she was one of five children bor n to Charles A. Sopp and “Dovey” R. Thomson Sopp.

She ear ned her nursing degree in Canada, received surgical training at Brandon General Hospital and triage training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, N.Y. She came to Artesia as a charge nurse. While in Artesia she met and fell in love with Olen Fredric Featherstone. They married on June 1, 1940, at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, in Brandon, and settled in New Mexico. She was a founding member of the Roswell Service League, which is now known as Assistance League of Chaves County.

Martha loved to travel, even occasionally taking her grandchildren with her on her many adventures.

ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — Crews reported progress in their battle Saturday against a human-caused wildfire that forced a temporary evacuation of residents on the Shivwits Band of Paiutes Reservation in southern Utah.

The 1,250-acre Barn Fire burning on the reservation about 10 miles northwest of St. George was about 50 percent contained late Saturday afternoon, said Nick Howell, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

He said the blaze prompted the evacuation of about 20 homes Friday on the reservation, and had burned Saturday within a quarter mile of homes in the community of Kayenta.

The fire destroyed one bar n, but no damage to homes or injuries were reported.

“Kayenta is considered to be on watch if the fire makes another run,” Howell told The Associated Press. “The winds are still gusty and could cause us some problems if they pick up.

“But the firefighters are making a lot of progress.

We haven’t seen the forecasted winds that we thought, so that has worked out to our advantage. We hope to have the fire 75 percent contained

by Saturday night,” he added.

The fire was sparked Friday by two men using a

around you, and whispered, “Come to me.”

You didn’t deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back To suffer that again.

Auntie Olie, When God called you into his kingdom, tears fell from our eyes, we hurt knowing we have to say our goodbyes.

Parting from you is such a sorrow, this shows we are not promised a tomorrow, but we know where you are is not very far.

With pain in our hearts, it’s hard to see, but indeed, in heaven is where you’re meant to be.

A little prayer, a little thought, we will surely miss you a lot.

Until we see each other again, we love and miss you dear mother, sister, auntie, cousin, and friend.

Floyd George

A memorial service for Floyd George, 96, of Roswell, will be held Sunday, June 19, 2011, at 2 p.m., at Anderson Bethany Funeral Home with the Rev. Jack Ferguson officiating.

Floyd was bor n in McCloud, Okla., on Feb. 7, 1915, to David T. George and Laura Bell Lane. His family homesteaded north of Roswell in the 1930s. He married Lola Jewell Griffin Aug. 11, 1941. He worked around Roswell and Mayhill until 1949, when they moved to Califor nia. In 1959, they brought the family back to Roswell. He worked on Clardy’s Farms for many years. After the kids left home, he worked for Roswell Ready Mix until he retired at age 75.

Grandpa Floyd was full of joy, and loved to go hunting, camping, and out with his metal detector looking for arrowheads and Pecos Valley diamonds. He would take the grandkids out to an irrigation ditch and throw a watermelon in, let them follow to the end, and enjoy together. He loved to play his harmonica while watching his Chihuahuas sing and dance.

His biggest thing was teaching the grandbabies how to spit in his spittoon, and to let them try his grapes to see if they were ripe. He loved the facial expressions as the bitterness set in. He had a green

“We’ve had a lot of human-caused fires lately and we’re trying to throw out a reminder to people (who live near wildlands) that they need to start thinking about defensible space for their homes and property,” he said. “We’re also trying to remind people that it doesn’t take much to start a wildfire because we have a lot of cheatgrass down here after a heavy winter.”

Blasts kill 34 in Pakistan, as CIA chief visits Roswell Daily Record

about intelligence sharing and efforts to reconcile with the Taliban.

The first explosion was relatively small and drew police and rescue workers to the site, said Dost Mohammed, a senior local police of ficial. A large explosion rocked the area a few minutes later, causing the fatalities and injuring 98 people, 18 critically, said Rahim Jan, a senior doctor at a local hospital.

The second blast was caused by a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle packed with 22 pounds of explosives, said Ejaz Khan, a senior police official. The source of the first explosion was unknown.

No group claimed

responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban have pledged to carry out attacks in retaliation for the covert U.S. Navy SEAL raid that killed bin Laden in an army town outside Islamabad on May 2.

Saturday’s attack took place across the street from the offices of the top political agent to Khyber, part of Pakistan’s volatile tribal region, and only about 100 yards from army housing units. Peshawar borders the tribal region and has been repeatedly hit by bombings over the past few years.

The dead included at least one journalist, said Mohammed Farooq, a hospital doctor. Another four journalists and at least 10 police were injured, he said. Many of the people killed were so badly burned they were difficult to identify.

Jamal Khan, a 22-yearold student, was in his apartment when the first blast went off. He rushed to the scene as the second explosion occurred, peppering his face and arms with flying debris.

“The explosion was so huge I will never forget it all my life,” said Khan as he recovered in a hospital. “It was deafening, and then there was a cloud of dust and smoke. When the dust

more than 1,400 people nationwide have died in the gover nment crackdown since the uprising erupted in southern Syria in mid-March.

“The Assads are reshuffling the army and creating a number of mainly Alawite units made up specifically of people who have been tested and have shown themselves to be hardcore loyalists,” he said.

“It is these units that have been sent to Jisr alShughour.”

Jisr al-Shughour is a predominantly Sunni town with some Alawite and Christian villages nearby in Idlib province.

Most Syrians are Sunni Muslim, but Assad and the ruling elite belong to the minority Alawite sect, an of fshoot of Shiite Islam.

Jamil Saeb, an activist from the town who was reached by phone, suggested the ar my was afraid to take on the people who stayed behind because Jisr al-Shughour residents were “known to be exceptionally fierce.”

He said several ar my deserters and of ficers were still there and have vowed to protect unarmed residents.

Idlib’s Muslim Brotherhood population rose up against Assad’s father, the late president Hafez Assad, in the late 1970s.

Jisr al-Shughour itself came under heavy government bombardment in 1980, with a reported 70 people killed. Residents say the numbers were much higher.

The events proved a prelude to a 1982 threeweek bombing campaign against the city of Hama that crushed a Sunni uprising there, killing 10,000 to 25,000 people, according to Amnesty International estimates.

“They (regime) have a grudge against Jisr alShughour since the 80s,” said Saeb.

The gover nment’s admission that 120 officers and security officers were killed by “ar med groups” in the area gave new cause for concern.

“Syria cannot afford to lose territory where an

insurgency or rebel army might emerge,” said Joshua Landis, director of the University of Oklahoma’s Center for Middle East Studies.

“Damascus will do everything it can to preclude the formation of a Benghazi, which would allow foreign intelligence agencies and governments to begin arming and training a rebel army, as happened in Libya,” he wrote in his influential blog, Syria Comment.

Benghazi is the de facto rebel capital in Libya and the center of their strength; Syria’s Idlib province is nowhere near that level.

Arab gover nments, which were unusually supportive of NATO intervention in Libya, have met the Syrian crackdown with silence, largely because Syria is seen as a regional powerhouse with influence on events in neighboring Israel, Lebanon, Iraq. Syria also has an explosive sectarian mix and there are fears that the alter native to Assad would be chaos and sectarian fighting.

“Syria ... is engaging in horrific, revolting attacks on its own people. The region, however, is trying to, behind the scenes, get the government to stop,” said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The White House said the offensive in the north has created a humanitarian crisis and it called on the government to stop the violence and allow the International Committee of the Red Cross free access to the area to care for the wounded, displaced and detainees.

Syria’s brutal crackdown has angered the leaders of neighboring Turkey, who accused the Assad regime of “savagery” and have given refuge to more than 4,300 Syrians.

Journalists invited to accompany troops to the north, including an AP reporter, came under fire about a mile outside Jisr al-Shughour Saturday, and the gover nment blamed snipers stationed in nearby hills. No casualties were reported.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Two explosions went of f minutes apart in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar Sunday, killing 34 people and injuring nearly 100 in one of the deadliest attacks since the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden last month, officials said.

The blasts, one of which was caused by a suicide bomber, occurred just after midnight in an area of the city that is home to political offices and army housing.

The attack took place as CIA Director Leon Panetta and Afghan President Hamid Karzai visited Islamabad, 95 miles to the east, to speak separately with senior Pakistani officials

settled, I saw people crying for help and body parts scattered everywhere.”

The attack followed a second day of meetings between Panetta, the CIA chief, and senior Pakistani of ficials. The talks were slated to focus on the size and scope of U.S. intelligence activities in the wake of the raid that killed bin Laden, said a Pakistani official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The bin Laden operation plunged an already strained relationship between the CIA and Pakistan’s main intelligence agency, the ISI, to new lows and threatened cooperation that is key to the U.S. fight against al-Qaida and Taliban militants battling foreign troops in Afghanistan.

The U.S. also needs Pakistan’s help to promote and guide negotiations with the Taliban that can help end the decade-long Afghan Pakistan and war.

Afghanistan inaugurated a joint peace commission Saturday during a visit by Karzai, the Afghan president.

In an attempt to rebuild their relationship, Washington and Islamabad have agreed to form a joint intelligence team to track down militant targets inside Pak-

istan, drawing in part from the trove of records taken from bin Laden’s personal office during the raid.

Panetta and Pakistani officials planned to discuss what U.S. intelligence officers will be permitted to do, and how many will be allowed into the country as part of the team, said the Pakistani official.

But new suspicions have marred this attempt at renewed cooperation.

As an act of faith to restore relations with the Pakistanis, U.S. intelligence shared the suspected location of explosive material held by the al-Qaida-linked Haqqani network at two compounds in the Pakistani tribal areas, according to a Pakistani and a U.S. official.

The U.S. official said that after the intelligence was shared, the explosive material was moved. The Pakistani official told The Associated Press that they checked out the locations, but nothing was there, and that they intend to investigate to dispel U.S. suspicions that the Pakistani intelligence service had tipped off the militants.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence operations.

Panetta’s visit is his first to Pakistan since the bin

Laden raid. His ties with Pakistan will be key in his new role as U.S. defense secretary, presuming he is speedily confirmed by Congress.

The U.S. wants the proposed joint intelligence team under discussion Saturday to pursue a list of five high-value targets it handed to the Pakistani leadership recently. The target list included alQaida’s military operations chief in Pakistan, Ilyas Kashmiri, who was reportedly killed by a drone strike in the Pakistani tribal areas June 3.

Karzai pressed Pakistan for support in facilitating negotiations with Taliban militants with whom the Pakistani government has historical ties.

There is a significant level of distrust between the two countries, but Pakistan promised to help as Afghanistan sees fit.

“We both want stability in Afghanistan and in Pakistan,” said Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in a news conference held with Karzai after the first meeting of the joint peace commission. “Our only aim is to support the peace process, which is Afghanled.”

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The al-Qaida mastermind behind the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania was killed this week at a security checkpoint in Mogadishu

by Somali forces who didn’t immediately realize he was the most wanted man in East Africa, officials said Saturday.

The death of Fazul Abdullah Mohammed — a man who topped the FBI’s most wanted list for nearly 13 years — is the third major strike in six weeks against the worldwide terror group that was headed

by Osama bin Laden until his death last month.

Mohammed had a $5 million bounty on his head for allegedly planning the Aug. 7, 1998, embassy bombings. The blasts killed 224 people in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Most of the dead were Kenyans. Twelve Americans also died.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton — who was on a visit to Tanzania on Saturday as Somali officials confirmed Mohammed’s death — called the killing a “significant blow to al-Qaida, its extremist allies, and its operations in East Africa.

White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan called Mohammed’s death “another huge setback to al-Qaida and its extremist allies, and provides a measure of justice to so many who lost loved ones.”

Mohammed was killed Tuesday but was carrying a South African passport, so Somali of ficials didn’t immediately realize who he was. The body was even buried. Of ficials later exhumed it.

“We’ve compared the pictures of the body to his old pictures,” said a spokesman for Somalia’s minister of infor mation, Abdifatah Abdinur. “They are the same. It is confirmed. He is the man and he is dead. The man who died is Fazul Abdullah.”

Mohammed, a native of the Comoros Islands, was carrying sophisticated weapons, maps, other operational materials and tens of thousands of dollars when he was killed, Infor-

mation Minister Abdulkareem Jama said. Family pictures and correspondence with other militants were also found, he said.

The money, equipment and personal effects made officials take a second look at the death, he said.

Earlier in the week, a Somali security officer had described to The Associated Press the deaths of two men in Mogadishu, one of whom is now believed to have been Mohammed.

The security of ficial, Osman Nur Diriye, said that two men riding in a luxury car pulled up to a government-run checkpoint Tuesday night. After security forces found a pistol on one of the men, gunfire was exchanged. Diriye said a Somali and a man believed to be South African died.

The man identified as a South African is now believed to have been Mohammed, Abdinur said.

Mohammed’s death is the third major blow against alQaida in the last six weeks.

Navy SEALs killed bin Laden on May 2 at his home in Pakistan. Just a month later, Ilyas Kashmiri, an al-Qaida leader sought in the 2008 Mumbai siege and rumored to be a longshot choice to succeed bin Laden, was reportedly killed in a U.S. drone attack in Pakistan.

The strike against Kashmiri was not the direct result of intelligence material seized from the bin Laden compound, U.S. and Pakistan officials say. If the account of the killing at the security checkpoint killing is confir med, it would appear Mohammed’s death is also not the result of new intelligence.

Dhagabadan described the death as “similar to Osama bin Laden’s.”

“He was worse to us than bin Laden,” he said. “It is a victory for the world. It is a victory for Somali army.”

Bill Roggio, the managing editor of The Long War Journal, said Mohammed’s death is a big triumph for both the U.S. and Somalia.

“Fazul is considered by U.S. intelligence officials to be al-Qaida’s most dangerous operative in Africa,” he said.

Hostile Syrian border region 1998 US Embassy blasts suspect challenges 40-year-old regime killed in Somalia BEIRUT (AP) — A border region with a history of hostility toward the Syrian regime is posing the biggest challenge yet for President Bashar Assad’s struggle to crush the revolt against his family’s 40-year-rule.

Analysts say Assad will do anything to restore control in the restive northern area bordering Turkey, where mutinous forces are giving a largely peaceful revolt new strength — and firepower.

On Saturday, thousands of elite troops and tanks believed to be led by his brother sealed off the entrances to the mostly deserted town of Jisr alShughour, with soldiers loyal to the regime coming under sniper fire as they approached.

Mutinous Syrian soldiers and police officers remained behind to fight against an expected allout government assault, a resident said, and unarmed demonstrators were ready to fight “with their hands” in the town just 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the Turkish border.

While the Syrian uprising is still far from an all out Libya-style insurgency, the mutiny in Jisr al-Shughour raises concerns the 12-week revolt is taking on a new dimension. Jisr al-Shughour’s history of Sunni militancy and its proximity to Turkey make it a crucial proving ground for the regime.

Syrian troops backed by tanks, helicopters and heavy armor have been in the area for several days; it was not clear why the ar my was delaying an assault. In the meantime, a captain and 15 soldiers defected and joined the protesters on Saturday, according to the Local Coordination Committees, which documents Syrian anti-government protests.

The report could not be independently confirmed.

Ausama Monajed, a London-based Syrian activist, said the Assads could be worried not just about army defections, but any hesitation to obey shoot-on-sight orders.

Human rights groups say

Authorities said they have made some arrests and killed and wounded many of the armed men around Jisr al-Shughour, a city of about 40,000 that has been largely abandoned by residents in recent days.

Confirming information out of Syria is difficult.

Communications are cut in areas where the uprising is strongest, including Jisr al-Shughour and foreign journalists have been expelled.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem called on the United Nations to help his country fight “terrorist groups.” In an interview he gave to the Syrianow website, Moallem said he had sent an urgent message to the U.N. chief warning that any Security Council resolution targeting Syria would be considered “intervention in his country’s internal affairs.”

Negotiations continued Saturday on the draft text of a Security Council resolution proposed by Britain and France calling on all sides in Syria to cease the violence. Russia and China have so far opposed a resolution on Syria and have veto power.

Turkey’s military, meanwhile, was making preparations to step in if necessary, to “control and manage” the flow of refugees from Syria. Some wounded Syrians from Jisr al-Shughour or elsewhere were being treated at the state hospital in the Turkish city of Hatay.

One of them, who only identified himself with his first name, Ahmad, told an Associated Press reporter at his hospital bed on Saturday that he was hit by three bullets during a protest in Jisr alShughour on June 4.

One bullet had struck him in the neck, and he spoke with difficulty.

“The snipers suddenly started firing onto us from three buildings,” Ferah, a Turkish relative, quoted him as saying in Arabic. “I was hit in the neck and chest first, but a third bullet found my right arm when I raised it while on the ground.”

“Allah gave me another life,” Ahmad said.

Hollywood’s elite joined China’s biggest stars at the Shanghai Grand Theater to usher in the 14th edition of the country’s leading international film festival on Saturday — in a sign of respect for what is fast becoming one of the American movie industry’s key foreign markets.

Chinese box office numbers surged 64 percent to hit $1.5 billion in 2010. And despite import restrictions that effectively limit the country to 20 foreign blockbusters a year, American movies are doing brisk business. Last year, the James Cameron 3-D sci-fi epic “Avatar” — distributed by the Hollywood studio Fox, a unit of Murdoch’s media company News Corp. — brought in $204 million as it became China’s top-grossing release in history.

Keen to gain exposure in this blossoming market,

American stars were wellrepresented on the red carpet that kicked off the Shanghai International Film Festival in the eastern financial center.

It was Sarandon’s first visit to China, but she wasted no time in picking up on local cultural cues. After receiving a lifetime achievement award from festival organizers, she jokingly asked veteran actor Zhang to give her acceptance speech on her behalf. Zhang had just finished delivering a lengthy ribbing to Chinese director Feng Xiaogang, who was honored for outstanding achievement to Chinese cinema.

The “Thelma and Louise” star then invited Zhang to a game of table tennis. Sarandon owns several table tennis clubs and bars in the U.S. “Maybe he’ll play pingpong with me if we open one in Shanghai. And that would be a good excuse to come back to China,” she said.

Zhang stood up and obliged and joked that he was an ace player.

“My acting is much better

than my pingpong. Maybe you can wear a blindfold,” Sarandon responded.

Sarandon’s appearance is telling because she has been critical of the Chinese government in the past, joining other Hollywood celebrities in signing letters urging Beijing to ease up on film censorship and calling on Washington to scrutinize China’s human rights record.

Earlier, Dillon stumbled through the Chinese greeting “Shanghai Film Festival: Here I am” on the red carpet and then thanked fans for braving the heavy rain.

Mischa Barton from the American teen TV drama “The O.C.” also greeted fans.

Barton, Dillon and Sarandon were in Shanghai just to attend the opening ceremony. None of the three is promoting movies at the festival.

Murdoch also attended with his third wife, Wendi Deng Murdoch, and was quick to mention the upcoming film she is producing, Chinese-American director Wayne Wang’s adaptation of the novel “Snow Flower and the

Reports of The Decemberists’ demise greatly exaggerated MANCHESTER, Tenn.

(AP) — Colin Meloy is known for his brainy wordplay but there are two words he’d like to have back: “Long hiatus.”

Those words, uttered in an interview, rippled across the Twitterverse and left many with the impression that Meloy’s band, The Decemberists, are breaking up.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” Meloy said Saturday on his tour bus in the parking lot behind Bonnaroo’s big stage. “With this record I feel we have a whole world in front of us with plenty of options and I’m excited to continue writing music for The Decemberists and performing with The Decemberists.”

He just wants to do something else for a while.

Driven by a powerful lead song, “Down by the Water,” that featured harmony from Gillian Welch, “The King is Dead” hit No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 earlier this year, a rare feat for an indie folk rock band known for its challenging material. A top-selling record is often a bonanza for a band and the impulse is to tour nonstop to capitalize on the opportunity.

Yet The Decemberists will wind down touring in August and won’t tour in the fall. Instead Meloy, who calls himself “compulsively creative,” will begin promoting his new illustrated young adult book “Wildwood,” the first in a fantasy series for HarperCollins he plans to produce with his wife, the artist Carson Ellis. The book idea predates The

Decemberists when Meloy worked in a pizza place and played open mic gigs and Ellis worked in a bar and painted in her free time.

“I’ve managed to pull it off over the last year and a half but it owes a lot to chance and luck and, thankfully, some creative epiphanies,” Meloy said.

“I think it would water down both things if I tried to do them at the same time.”

He also would like to write a musical and tackle a studio project or two during this ... quiet period? And he wants to spend more time at home to be with his son, Hank, who is autistic.

The other members of the Portland, Ore.-based band have things to focus on as well. Founding accordion and keyboard player Jenny Conlee was diagnosed with breast cancer this spring and sat out the band’s summer dates.

“We’re just glad we’re at the point where she has insurance and some flexibility so she has time to do the treatments and come out the other side better,” Meloy said.

Conlee also is in the dark, experimental bluegrass band Black Prairie with Decemberists bandmates Nate Query and Chris Funk, and that group expects to produce new material while Meloy works on his projects.

Long waits for new songs are nothing new to fans of The Decemberists.

It took three years between the band’s complicated breakthrough, “The Crane Wife,” and the 2009 release of “Hazards of Love.” It took another two years for “The King is Dead” to come out. Fans waited patiently and were rewarded with something a little different.

“Going into this it felt right to sit down and write some simple, pretty songs, but as it turns out the simple, pretty songs in this day and age are what people are into,” Meloy said.

And he thinks they’ll be waiting for more after ... time away?

“I just assume that they’ll still be there in three years,” Meloy said.

“And also we’re not a band that’s afraid to take risks, and if this seems risky it doesn’t really bother me. I think we’ve taken bigger risks in the past. I’m just following my whim and I think that’s what The Decemberists have been all along, and I think that’s why we have our audience.”

Secret Fan,” which stars Chinese actress Li Bingbing and South Korea’s Jun Jihyun.

“I’m very proud of my wife and her film ‘Snow Flower,”’ Murdoch said.

Murdoch and wife and Fox Film Entertainment Chief Executive Jim Gianopulos are also scheduled to speak at a panel discussion on film finance on Sunday.

An American director is chairing the jury for the Shanghai festival’s Golden Goblet prizes. “Rain Man” director Barry Levinson is leading a seven-person panel that also includes British screenwriter Christopher Hampton, Japanese director Yoichi Sai, French-Vietnamese filmmaker Tran Anh Hung, Spanish actress Paz Vega, Chinese director Wang Quanan and Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu.

A second panel headed by Japanese filmmaker Shunji Iwai will hand out prizes to promising young Asian directors.

The Shanghai International Film Festival runs until June 19.

The MISSION STATEMENT of the Community Foundation of Chaves County is “To Support and Promote the well-being of the community and nurture its continuing viablity through charitable giving.”

Justus E. Bowe Jr., 2011 Community Foundation Honoree

MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR The Community Foundation of Chaves County has been helping many non-profit organizations in the community for many years. The purpose of the organization is to promote the well-being of the community and help with the city’s growth.

The Community Foundation helps donors choose organizations in the community that need the most help. They build endowments and manage and respond to the greater needs of specific organizations. Its board of directors and current president, Alexis Swoboda, manages the foundation. The foundation doesn’t exist without its many philanthropists who help it thrive. Within the organizations the foundation helps, they see a wide variety of citizens who lend a hand and hearts to the organizations and silently take note on who goes above and beyond their duty to lending a hand.

The Community Foundation of Chaves County is holding its second annual Community Foundation Honors event June 16 at the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. The purpose of the event is to recognize a person for contributions and ongoing commitment to the community. Justus E. Bowe Jr. has been selected as the 2011 Honoree for his contributions and passion in helping the residents of Chaves County.

“The selection process is done by our board of directors, and they select someone who stands out above everyone else, someone who cares for the community and is worthy,” said Susie Russell, executive director of CFCC. The news of the nomination surprised Bowe, “I was shocked and ecstatic! To be nominated is awesome, to see what people see in you, and this organization would pick me to represent them is truly awesome,” said Bowe.

There is a rich history to the CFCC honoree. His life and background have much to do with why this man is involved and the helper he is today.

Bowe was born in Cotton Plant, Ark., and was one of 12 children. He grew up in Arkansas and helped his family financially by working multiple jobs as a young child. He left his home after high school and served in the United States Army for three years. He attended college after his first enlistment in the Army and decided to reenlist in the Air Force. He was stationed in various locations during his military career including Vanderburg Air Force Base, Bitburg, Germany; Minot, N.D.; Poonsong, Korea; and Phoenix, Ariz. While in the Air Force he earned the Air Force Commendation Medal.

While Bowe was in the military he met and married his wife of 52 years, Christine. They have three children: Rodney, Michelle and Nadeem, and three grandchildren: Olivia, Solomon, and Justus. When his children were younger Bowe quickly instilled character and values into each of his children and developed the family motto “A Bowe is suppose to know.”

After retiring from the Air Force and moving his family to Roswell, he started on his second set of careers. He was employed by the state, the New Mexico Rehabilitation Center, and the New Mexico Department of Labor. When he wasn’t working he was volunteering with the city’s non-profit organizations. He served as a board member to the Roswell Girls Club, the Big Brothers Big Sisters, Roswell High School Parent Advisory Committee, Tabosa Development Service, South Park Cemetery and the Community Foundation of Chaves County.

Bowe also participated in the curriculum of the Leadership Roswell Program. He is currently a board member of the Washington Chapel Christian Worship Center, the First Tee of Pecos Valley, Blackdom Memorial Inc., and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative breakfast ceremony where he received the 2009 Humanitarian Award.

“I got involved with the community because of my kids. The first organization I got involved with was the Girls Club and from there I went to different organizations. It is amazing what type of impact you’re making in someone’s life,” said Bowe.

When Bowe isn’t busy helping everyone else, he finds time to enjoy fishing and traveling the country to visit his family.

“Roswell is beautiful, and winning this is like winning an Oscar, and this will live on after I’m gone. ” The Community Foundation of Chaves County would like to express its gratitude to its sponsors for making this event possible: 400 Penn Plaza, Harvard Petroleum Co. LLC, Andrews, Smith, Lowery and Co. LLC, Pioneer Bank, Primm Drug, Armstrong Energy Corp., Bill and Karen Armstrong, Ritter and Co., David Petroleum Corp., Roswell Lifestock and Farm Supply, Eileen Grooms EMG Oil Properties, Xcel Energy, and Ameripride. Monies raised from this event will help build the endowment and operations of the Community Foundation of Chaves County, enabling the foundation to continue supporting community developments, health and human services, art and humanities and other projects that improve the quality of life in Chaves County. The Community Foundation Honors event will be held June 16 at the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. Cost to attend the event is $25 per person.

Husband’s angry outbursts source of family stress

Q: My husband has an anger problem and gets upset over the littlest issues. He’s not abusive, but he lashes out with words. Our family walks on eggshells around him. How can I help him?

Juli: Although you can’t get your husband to change his behavior, you can influence him. The first thing you can do is help him understand the impact his outbursts have on you and your family. Many people live by the “sticks and stones” rule, minimizing the effect harsh words have on relationships. At a neutral time (not when he’s upset), tell him there is something you would like to share with him. Preface your statement with a softener like, “I know you may not be aware of this, but...” Then explain how his outbursts hurt you and get in the way of feeling safe with him. He may or may not receive your comments well. Even if he doesn’t acknowledge what you say, he may think about it over time.

Second, as much as he’s willing to allow it, help him identify the true source of his anger. It’s easy to dump anger and frustration on family members when the genesis of those feelings comes from somewhere else. For example, how much stress is he under at work? Are finances contributing? What was modeled in his home growing up? Asking the right questions can help him make some of these connections.

Finally, be prepared for the next time he gets angry.

You have the right and the responsibility to stand up for yourself and your family if his words become harsh and hurtful. I highly recommend two books that will help you know what to say in the middle of a tense situation: “Boundaries” by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend and “Love Must be Tough” by Dr. James Dob-

Some of my married friends knew they’d found “the one” after only a couple weeks of dating.

Jim: Some people “know” sooner than others, but don’t feel like you have to be on the fast track. You and your girlfriend shouldn’t feel pressure to make a decision any sooner than either of you is ready.

Marrying my wife, Jean, wasn’t a tough decision. Once I knew, I knew. More importantly, once she knew -- I knew! But that doesn’t mean I didn’t invest a great deal of thought and prayer in the process.

tions about the other person? Do you both believe that marriage is a lifelong commitment? These are all things that you can work out in your head.

Listening to your heart can be more tricky, but it’s just as important. If you’re considering marriage, it’s safe to assume that you already have strong feelings for your girlfriend. But do you have peace? Does she share that peace?

I’m not suggesting that you won’t have butterflies.

There are plenty of things about getting married that can cause stress, even if you’re marrying the right person.

But through prayer, introspection and discussion, you both need to have peace in your hearts that you’re doing the right thing.

The road to marriage is full of emotion. But if your head and your heart can find agreement on that special person, there’s a good chance you’ve found “the one.” ** ** **

Mayor race shifts as Weiner all but certainly out Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — There are many things that Rep. Anthony Weiner was never shy about, and one was telling people he hoped to become New York City’s mayor.

But with a 2013 candidacy all but out of the picture for the embattled Democrat, and with Mayor Bloomberg Michael approaching the halfway mark of his third and final term, Weiner’s Internet sex scandal has reshaped the political fight already simmering beneath the surface of New York City politics. It has even led a celebrity, “30 Rock” actor Alec Baldwin, to publicly toy with the idea of jumping in to the game.

Weiner “combined appeal to striving, middle-class people in the outer boroughs with the ideological left,” many of them wealthier Manhattanites, said Hunter College political science professor Kenneth Sherrill. “That’s a very hard combination to pull off.”

More than half of city voters saying in a recent poll that Weiner shouldn’t make a City Hall bid, leaving up for grabs the broad swath of votes that seemed destined for the Queens congressman.

A seven-term Democrat, Weiner acknowledged last

week that he sent sexually explicit messages over Twitter to six women over the past three years and then lying about it. He got married last year; his wife is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

On Friday, Weiner acknowledged that among those he’d talked to on Twitter was a 17-year-old Delaware girl. He said the messages were “neither explicit nor indecent.”

Police in Delaware interviewed the girl and said she didn’t say anything about illegal conduct.

It’s debatable who could most benefit from Weiner’s downfall. Sherrill argues that one of those with the most to gain is Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who runs the risk of fading into the background if the race becomes crowded with white male candidates. Now he could gain supporters from the ranks of Weiner fans who loved the congressman for his very public and very loud opposition to Republicans on national issues.

Stringer, the professor said, can be similarly aggressive and authentic.

“You see him, you hear him, you say, ‘That’s a New Yorker,’ as you do with Weiner,” Sherrill said.

City Public Advocate Bill

de Blasio and former city Comptroller Bill Thompson, the 2009 Democratic nominee for mayor, could also win support from those same progressives.

Many of Weiner’s middleclass supporters living outside of Manhattan could shift to current Comptroller John Liu, a union ally who like Weiner is based in Queens, and who enjoys strong support among the Asian community there, Sherrill said. De Blasio, too, is closely allied with the city’s unions and lives in Brooklyn, where Weiner grew up and has many supporters. Meanwhile, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s work on housing issues and her own middle-class background could also win her some of those outer -borough votes.

Weiner’s scandal may have prompted one politician into action. Though Thompson had said he intended to run again, he long remained the only presumptive candidate who hadn’t started fundraising.

But on Friday, he formally registered with the city Campaign Finance Board as a mayoral candidate.

Thompson has some catching up to do. As of January, Weiner had raised $5.1 million, Quinn had

raised $3.2 million and Stringer had raised $1.1 million. Liu and de Blasio trailed with $513,000 and $393,000, respectively.

“The money race is the key indicator now,” said Baruch College politics professor Doug Muzzio, although he cautioned it is still very early and the race likely won’t head into full swing until after the 2012 federal elections.

By that standard, Quinn is now the front-runner.

The historic nature of her as-yet-undeclared campaign — if elected, she would be the first openly gay and the first female mayor — could further help her as she raises more.

Roughly one-third of her campaign donations have come from outside of the city.

Still, Quinn is faced with walking a tricky line. Political insiders say she must retain the mayor’s support — the two often appear together at events, and Bloomberg praises her work — yet distance herself from the Republicanturned-Democrat-turnedindependent as he weathers what several analysts have ter med third-ter m fatigue among dissatisfied voters.

Beyond that core fivesome, a Weiner exit could

Sunday, June 12, 2011

possibly bring unexpected faces into the game.

Baldwin has long professed his interest in running for office, and days ago he queried his Twitter followers, “Can Weiner still be mayor in 2013?”

In response to reports that Baldwin himself was considering entering the race because of Weiner’s apparent departure, the actor said on Twitter: “It’s a long way till November of 2013.”

Baldwin has said he doesn’t expect to continue with “30 Rock” past 2012, but if he decides to make a run for the city’s top job, he will have to change addresses. He has long claimed residency in the wealthy Long Island enclave of East Hampton, although he has also kept a home in New York City since the 1980s. He now owns an apartment on the Upper West Side.

Some have suggested that for mer Gov. Eliot Spitzer could join the race, although his own sex scandal might play poorly following Weiner’s. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly has also been mentioned as a possibility, though he has said he prefers his current job.

Analysts say there’s a distant possibility that

Weiner himself could still join the mayoral fray. After all, last time around Thompson came very close to beating Bloomberg, who outspent him more than 10-to-1, after the Democrat raised $6.1 million before matching funds, little more than what Weiner already has in the bank.

“There’s nothing impossible in politics,” said Muzzio. But, he added, “This is as close as you’re going to get.”

Premature aging process seen Duncan working on ‘plan B’ for as issue for AIDS survivors “Coupled with the aging process, the extended exposure of patients toward ailments to which these adults to both HIV and antiretroviral drugs appears to they may have been genetically increase their risk of illness and death from cardiovascular, or environmentally predisposed bone, kidney, liver and lung disease, as well as many cancers not associated directly with HIV infection.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Having

Research suggests HIV hastens

survived the first and worst years of the AIDS epidemic, when he was losing three friends to the disease in a day and undergoing every primitive, toxic treatment that then existed, Peter Greene is grateful to be alive.

But a quarter -century after his own diagnosis, the former Mr. Gay Colorado, now 56, wrestles with vision impairment, bone density loss and other debilitating health problems he once assumed he wouldn’t grow old enough to see.

“I survived all the big things, but now there is a new host of things.

Liver problems. Kidney disease. It’s like you are a 50-year-old in an 80year-old body,” Greene, a San Francisco travel agent, said. “I’m just afraid that this is not, regardless of what my non-HIV positive friends say, the typical aging process.”

Even when AIDS still was almost always fatal, researchers predicted that people infected with HIV would be more prone to the cancers, neurological disorders and heart conditions that typically afflict the elderly. Thirty years after the first diagnoses, doctors are seeing these and other unanticipated signs of premature or “accelerated” aging in some long-term survivors.

Government-funded scientists are working to tease apart whether the memory loss, arthritis, renal failure and high blood pressure showing up in patients in their 40s and 50s are consequences of HIV, the drugs used to treat it or a cruel combination of both. With people over 50 expected to make up a majority of U.S. residents infected with the virus by 2015, there’s some urgency to unraveling the “complex treatment challenges” HIV poses to older Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health.

“In those with long-ter m HIV infection, the persistent activation of immune cells by the virus likely increases the susceptibility of these individuals to inflammation-induced diseases and diminishes their capacity to fight certain diseases,” the federal health agency’s chiefs of infectious diseases, aging and AIDS research wrote, summing up the current state of knowledge on last September’s National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day. “Coupled with the aging process, the extended exposure of these adults to both HIV and antiretroviral drugs appears to increase their risk of illness and death from cardiovascular, bone, kidney, liver and lung disease, as well as many cancers not associated directly with HIV infec-

tion.”

In San Francisco, where already more than half of the 9,734 AIDS cases are in people 50 and over, University of California, San Francisco AIDS specialists are collaborating with geriatricians, pharmacists and nutritionists to develop treatment guidelines designed to help veterans of the disease cope with getting frail a decade or two ahead of schedule and to remain independent for as long as possible.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful to be able to say, are you at high risk, low risk or moderate risk for progressing to dependency in the next five, the next 10 years, being less mobile, less able to be functional in the workplace. Are you going to be safe in your home, are you going to remember to take all those medications? How are they going to interact?” explained Dr. Malcolm John, who directs UCSF’s HIV clinic. “All those questions need to be brought into the HIV field at a younger age.”

Research so far suggests that HIV is not directly causing conditions that mimic old age, but hastens patients toward ailments to which they may have been genetically or environmentally predisposed. Plus, their immune systems are being weakened over time even when they are being successfully treated for AIDS, John said.

“That’s probably true for a lot of these things. We aren’t saying HIV’s starting the problem, but it’s added fuel on top,” he said.

Stokes, a patient of John’s who goes by only his last name, is a prime example. At 53, HIV-positive since 1985 and in substance abuse recovery for the last 11 years, he says he is happier than he ever has been. Yet the number of ailments for which he is being treated would be more commonly found in someone 30 years his senior: a condition called Ramsay Hunt syndrome that causes facial paralysis, a rare cartilage disorder for which he has undergone four ear surgeries, bone death in the hip and shoulder, deterioration of his heart muscle, osteoporosis and memory loss.

A specialist recently diagnosed a Kaposi’s sarcoma spot on Stokes’ ankle. Although the cancer is not life-threatening, the sight of young men disfigured by KS lesions was a harbinger of the early AIDS crisis, and its presence on his own body is unsettling.

At his therapy group for men with HIV, aging “comes up frequently,” he said. “I say, ‘Just think what we have come through to have a life

today.”’ At the same time, he acknowledges sometimes feeling self-conscious about his physical appearance and worries if “people are not attracted to me and unwilling to go the length of what it means to be with me, no matter how brilliant my mind or my zest for life.”

Loneliness, financial worries and concerns about who will care for them and where can weigh on longterm AIDS survivors in the same way as all adults living in a society that values youth, Charles Emlet, a social work professor at the University of Washington, Tacoma, said.

As they get older and sicker, many feel “doubly stigmatized,” he said. Some people who have lived with the virus for a long time have been getting by on private disability benefits that will run out when they turn 65, forcing them to move to less expensive locations or to consider turning to estranged family members. Like soldiers from a distant war, many lost partners and their closest friends to AIDS. Such emotional side effects, combined with the physical toll of managing chronic health problems, put older AIDS patients at risk for depression. At the same time, Emlet has uncovered evidence that a majority of long-term survivors also share another trait that typically comes with advanced age: that is, the ability to draw strength from their difficult experiences.

“The older adults I’ve interviewed, many of them talk about how much it means to them to give back, to do something positive with the years they never expected to have,” he said.

Peter Greene can relate to that. At times, like the days he is so exhausted he can’t get out of bed or the pain from his multiple maladies is too intense, he asks himself “the Carrie Bradshaw question—are we really lucky to still be alive?”

As frightening and uncertain as this phase of AIDS is, he thinks he knows the answer.

“I’ve tried to make the time I have count, and really, now that I have the body of an 80-year-old, I probably have the wisdom of an 80-yearold as well, which counts for a lot,” Greene said. “Everything becomes clear at the end of your life and in some ways, thinking you’ve been dying all these years, you get moments of clarity that I don’t think everyone gets.”

U.S. schools

Frustrated by what he called a “slow motion train wreck” for U.S. schools, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said he will give schools relief from federal mandates under the No Child Left Behind law if Congress drags its feet on the law’s long-awaited overhaul and reauthorization.

That could mean everything from granting waivers on test score requirements to flexibility on how schools spend federal funding, though Duncan offered few details because he said the department is just beginning to work on its plan.

The Obama administration has called for an overhaul of the 9-year-old federal education law by the fall, but lawmakers have indicated that won’t be possible.

Duncan told reporters Friday that his first goal is for Congress to rewrite the law but he wants to put other plans in place in case that doesn’t happen this year.

“This is absolutely plan B,” Duncan said. “The prospect of doing nothing is what I’m fighting against.”

Duncan has warned that 82 percent of U.S. schools could be labeled failures next year if No Child Left Behind isn’t changed. Education experts have questioned that estimate.

Still, no one thinks states will meet the law’s goal of having 100 percent of students proficient in math and English by 2014. A school that fails to meet targets for several consecutive years faces sanctions that can include firing teachers or closing the school entirely.

And Duncan hasn’t been shy about granting waivers.

In 2009, he granted more than 300, significantly higher than the number given out a year earlier by his predecessor. Federal lawmakers — even Democrats — aren’t thrilled about Duncan’s new plan after months of closed-door, bipartisan meetings hashing out changes to the law, which is four years overdue for reauthorization.

“It seems premature at this point to take steps outside the legislative process that would address NCLB’s problems in a temporary and piecemeal way,” said Senate education committee Chairman Tom Harkin,

a Democrat from Iowa.

House education committee Chairman John Kline, a Republican from Minnesota, said he’s slowed down the reauthorization process because Democrats on his committee “have really started to engage.”

Kline plans to introduce a bill that would give local school districts more flexibility in how they spend federal money. For example, he would like to allow them to move money for teacher training to underfunded special education programs.

Republicans and Democrats agree the law is broken. The Bush-era legislation has led to schools being labeled failures even though they are making improvements, and has discouraged states from adopting higher standards.

Duncan said he’s encouraged by talks with federal lawmakers in recent weeks indicating the law might see revisions this year. But he said he wants a backup plan in case that doesn’t happen. He said the department is talking to state officials, teachers, principals and parents about how to help schools if the law isn’t rewritten. He said any actions taken by the department would not prevent Congress from continuing to negotiate reauthorization.

The news comes as relief for governors, who say their schools should not be punished because of an outdated law. In Georgia, for example, the state Department of Education is creating a “performance index” that measures growth in academic achievement rather than just year -toyear test scores and looks at more subjects than just reading and math, the only two required under the federal law.

But some observers say Duncan’s plan might backfire with Congress because waivers aren’t popular with lawmakers who want more accountability for schools.

“I don’t get all the drama.

It almost has the feel of a threat to Congress,” said Sandy Kress, former education adviser to President George W. Bush. “One has to worry that what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to open up the candy store and let people in and they can have as much as they like.’”

Montana man builds 30 years of quadriplegic gaming HELENA, Mont. (AP) — For Ruben Rios to throw a touchdown, it takes a flick of his tongue. To break away from a tackle, he puffs into a tube.

Rios is a quadriplegic with no use of his body below his shoulders. For Rios to play video games like “Madden NFL 11” he uses a controller that combines lip controls, puff and sip tubes and a head-operated joystick.

That mouth controller is an innovation from Ken Yankelevitz, a Montana engineer whose hobby is hand-making unique controllers to give quadriplegics access to video games usually requiring two hands.

But with the retired Bozeman engineer’s 70th birthday approaching, disabled gamers say they fear there will be no one to replace Yankelevitz, who has sustained quadriplegic game controllers for 30 years almost entirely by himself. The retired aerospace engineer hand makes the controllers with custom parts in his Montana workshop, offering them at a price just enough to cover parts.

Gamers and gaming advocates say the Yankelevitz controller’s functionality and price is unrivaled for quadriplegics.

Yankelevitz began his work on mouth-operated video game controllers in 1981 for the Atari game console to give quadriplegic people a chance to engage with one of the few activities open to them. The design was simple on the early models; users only needed to be able to push a few buttons and move a joystick

through their controllers.

Over time Yankelevitz adapted the designs to more complex consoles including the XBox and PlayStation platforms. He has no formal relationship with any of the companies, saying they aren’t interested because there isn’t a sufficient market..

Quadriplegic gamers now have around a dozen different actions they can work with their mouth.

It’s a complicated system that can be difficult to learn. But for quadriplegics, who suffer paralysis of both arms and both legs and who are largely dependent on others, the device gives them something entirely their own.

“After my injury there really wasn’t anything that I could do that I was actually in control of,” said Rios, who lost control of his body after a gunshot wound in 1988.

When Rios began using a Yankelevitz controller in 1991 that changed. It was a relief, he said, to enjoy something on the same level as his friends.

With video games and online communities, quadriplegics have access to friends and freedoms not possible otherwise. It’s not just a basic level of control, either. Quadriplegics have proven competitive against and sometimes besting two-handed gamers.

“I can’t emphasize enough how important this (is) to people with high spinal cord injuries,” Rios said.

That meaning is what prompted Yankelevitz to embrace the challenge of his 30 year hobby,

the reward of helping others.

“As long as I’m making a controller that will work, then they are motivated,” said Yankelevitz, a former aerospace engineer.

Quadriplegics are a small portion of a growing community of gamers with all types of disabilities who are pushing for more accessible games and game controllers, according to Mark Barlet, 37, a disabled veteran, gamer and president of the AbleGamers foundation. His organization works to promote gaming access.

Barlet said gaming is an important connection to the world for those with disabilities. “People have relationships that are completely and totally digital, and they are meaningful relationships,” he said.

Barlet said Yankelevitz’s controller is the only one like it out there, calling it “unique in terms of accessibility.”

But gaming by quadriplegics is a tiny corner of the market that Yankelevitz has sustained by himself for three decades and his output is slowing.

He doesn’t want to quit now, but said that he won’t be going on forever.

Recently he shut down operation of his shop for half the year to spend time in Southern California, where he used to work.

If someone wanted to fill his shoes, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

He puts each controller together by hand, using his engineering skills to solder dozens of switches and circuits. Controllers are offered for just over $200 and

include a 1-year warranty for repairs.

“If the bottom line is profit, there’s no way to make a profit on these,” Yankelevitz said.

Yankelevitz said larger companies and game manufacturers have shown no interest in producing the controllers because the market is so small. He’s sold just over 800 of the devices through 30 years. Factory con-

struction of the controller would be cost prohibitive, over $1000 each, he said. Other products don’t offer near the same functionality and they come at a much higher price. There looks to be no comparable substitute available in the near future.

“If Ken (Yankelevitz ) stops making these controllers we’re going to be pretty much left out to dry,” Rios said.

For Monaco royal wedding, chef Alain Ducasse looks local PARIS (AP) — With three triple-star Michelin restaurants and more than 20 other temples of haute gastronomy scattered around the globe, celebrity chef Alain Ducasse is used to catering to the rich and famous.

But the veteran cook admits his blood pressure is rising ahead of next month’s royal wedding in Monaco, where he will prepare a multi-course gala dinner for Prince Albert, bride-to-be Charlene Wittstock, and their 500 A-list guests.

Asked whether he was feeling daunted by the

task, the chef nodded, although he vowed to “share my stress.

“I’m going to pass it along to those I work with,” he said, laughing.

And with an estimated 350-stong team on hand for the July 2 event — which caps the two-daylong nuptial festivities in the tiny Mediterranean principality — Ducasse should be able to spread his stress widely.

While being careful not to divulge exactly what’s on the menu for the threecourse meal, Ducasse revealed just enough to make the mouth water.

“It’s going to be like the essence of the Mediterranean Sea, its tastes, its smells and its colors ... fresh line-caught fish, garden vegetables and fruits for dessert,” he said.

Besides the Champagne, which comes from the eponymous region of northeast France, and a South African red wine honoring the bride’s roots, nearly all ingredients will be sourced from a 6-mile radius from Monaco.

The honey will come from Monaco’s very own urban bee hives and the fish — all local species, none of them threatened

with extinction — are to be line-caught hours before they’re served up, Ducasse said.

The vegetables, a sundrenched medley of local staples including tomatoes, peppers and zucchini, are being grown at the prince’s own far m, and will never suffer the indignity of refrigeration, being harvested just hours before the dinner.

Ducasse said Prince Albert invited him to prepare the gala dinner in a mystery-cloaked meeting in the Monegasque embassy in Paris last February. The menu got the

princely stamp of approval.

He said he’ll also be in charge of preparing the post-festivities brunch on July 3, in conjunction with Monaco’s other celebrity chef, Joel Robuchon.

Still, the wedding — the first marriage of a Monegasque monarch since 1956, when Albert’s father, Prince Rainier III, wed American actress Grace Kelly — is not the only thing on Ducasse’s plate.

The chef-cum-empresario was jetting of f to Saint Petersburg, where he was to inaugurate the newest edition to his 20-plus

restaurant empire and his first foray into Russia.

After that comes his breakthrough endeavor in the Middle East, a restaurant in Doha that’s slated to open in the coming months. Ducasse already runs establishments in Monaco, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong and France, where he runs the Jules Verne, a fine dining experience perched 410 feet up the Eif fel Tower. In the U.S., the 54-year-old has restaurants in Las Vegas, New York, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.

He holds an impressive total of 19 Michelin stars.

Ask a Designer:

Installing wall decals right Wall decals have quickly become the fast food of home decorating. Inexpensive and easy to install, these peel-and-stick pieces of vinyl are popping up on walls in every room of the house.

From pithy sayings and motivational phrases to bold graphics and even wall-size murals, decals come in every shape and size.

The convenience is obvious: They add a dash of color and graphic punch with practically no commitment. Bored with one?

Peel it off and move it elsewhere. Or, assuming it cost you only a few dollars, throw it away when you’re ready for something new.

But do decals pass the style test? We asked three designers for the scoop on how, where and whether to decorate with this new generation of decals.

“Those old-fashioned, ‘Home Is Where the Heart Is’ kind of sayings in that script, I think those are a little cheesy,” says designer and TV host Sabrina Soto, a guest designer on HGTV’s new series “HGTV’d.”

But Soto, Betsy Burnham of Los Angeles’ Burnham Design and Brian Patrick Flynn of decordemon.com all agree there are ways decals can work well — especially if they’re used with a dose of irony and humor.

“For the right person, and it’s usually a young person, I have no problem

with any of this. I think it’s decorative, it’s whimsical, it’s kitsch,” Burnham says. “But I’m going to be the devil’s advocate here and say I don’t want it in my clients’ living rooms.”

In traditionally decorated homes, decals can look tacky. But in homes already decorated with a modern sensibility, decals definitely have their place.

SMALL SPACES

In a spare room or an awkward space that’s hard to decorate, try a single, graphic image decal.

“It gives depth to a room and gives some interest to the architecture,” Burnham says.

Many retailers of fer black silhouettes depicting things like lamps or chandeliers that add interest to an otherwise blank wall.

(Just remember, Soto says, that adding a lighting fixture like this doesn’t actually add any light to the room!)

In small bedrooms, a headboard decal is “a great way to have fun without taking up any space,” Soto says. You can also find decals depicting chairs or other furniture.

“Having one object like that is kind of cool, especially if you have a space in a room that you just don’t know what to do with,” Soto explains. “It’s kind of the same thing as wallpapering an accent wall. This is just a lot easier.”

COOL KIDS’ ROOMS If

you

avoid

the

licensed-character decals depicting popular cartoon characters, you can actually bring some style and sophistication to kids’ rooms with decals.

Try oversize images of the outdoors (Target.com offers a wall-size close-up of a patch of bamboo) or letters and words (but not those excessively heartwarming ones).

To evoke cartoons without putting actual cartoon characters on the walls, Scribbleoneverything.com offers words like “Bam,” “Pow” and “Kaboom!!!” in decal form. They also offer customized “thought bubbles” that can be printed to say anything you can dream up.

DORMS AND FIRST APARTMENTS

Decals are “excellent for dor ms because they’re trendy in spaces where you can’t actually paint anyway,” Flynn says.

With little expense, young adults with rental homes can get creative with images and colors.

Their options for indulging in irony and sarcasm are endless (those customizable thought bubbles, above, are just one example). And if short attention spans prevail, it’s simple to move designs around the space as often as you wish.

“In rental spaces,” Burnham says, “it’s such a better idea than having to paint and then paint it back” again before you move out.

WORK SPACES

Flynn likes the whimsy of decals in spaces where someone wants to think creatively.

They’re perfect, he says, for a space “where an interior designer might be

doing their design plans, or artists might be doing their paintings or a graphic designer might be putting together their stuff.”

But whatever your line of work, “it’s a really affordable and quick way

to take the seriousness out of a space that’s dedicated to some kind of commerce,” Flynn says. “You can add graphic pattern and shape, breaking up otherwise just really boring painted walls.”

Gold rush another blight to ailing Amazon jungle DELTA 1, Peru (AP) — A gold rush that accelerated with the onset of the 2008 global recession is compounding the woes of the Amazon basin, laying waste to Peruvian rain forest and spilling tons of toxic mercury into the air and water.

With gold’s price soaring globally as the metal became a hedge against financial uncertainty, the army of small-scale miners in the state of Madre de Dios has swelled to some 40,000. The result: Diesel exhaust sullies the air, trees are toppled to get at the sandy, gold-flecked earth and the scars inflicted on the land are visible on satellite photos.

The work is dangerous and produces a fifth of Peru’s overall annual yield of roughly 175 metric tons of gold that make this country the world’s No. 5 producer. The mining also is almost entirely illegal.

“Extracting an ounce of gold costs from $400 to $500 and the profit is $1,000 per ounce,” notes Peru’s environment minister, Antonio Brack. In just a decade, gold has more than tripled in value.

The situation in the southeastern state of Madre de Dios, which borders Brazil and Bolivia, is mirrored in dozens of the countries where gold is similarly mined, and where the desperately poor often end up working for the most unsavory of opportunists.

Gover nment controls are mostly futile.

Neighboring Colombia and Ecuador have mounted crackdowns in the past year — Ecuador’s military last month dynamited 67 pieces of heavy equipment — but when authorities depart, the diggers troop back and work resumes. In Madre de Dios, the informal production is unrecorded, untaxed and carried out on public lands where claims are awarded by regional officials, many of them grown rich in the process.

As the industry has grown, heavy machinery bearing Caterpillar, Volvo and other international trademarks has moved into a state the size of Maine or Portugal, whose remotest reaches are believed inhabited by uncontacted Indian tribes.

In February, the Peruvian navy dynamited 13 dredges which, working in violation of a government ban, were choking the Madre de Dios river with silt, killing plants and destroying habitats. Protesting laborers blockaded Madre de Dios’ only highway, and at least three people were shot and killed by police sent from the national capital, Lima.

“One of the big hydraulic dredges we destroyed could easily harvest a kilogram (worth about $45,000) of gold a day,” said Brack.

Rather than try to evict the thousands of protesting informal miners, the government decided to work to “formalize” their operations, which have denuded well over 70 square miles of jungle in Madre de Dios.

“In practice, nothing happened. They moved against a small percentage of dredges that are not necessarily what hurts the environment most,” said Pavel Cartagena, an environmental activist who recently

returned to Puerto Maldonado, the state capital, after death threats drove him away for a year.

Brack said the crackdown served notice to local politicians profiting from the industry.

“We found that nearly all the public officials in Puerto Maldonado were involved,” the minister said. “In 2010, the regional mining director had a mining company. His No. 2 had one. His wife had one. His sister had one (as did) the sister of the No. 2.

They were all in it. And you think anyone is going to regulate anything?”

The state prides itself on its biodiversity and attracts ecotourists for its monkeys, macaws and anacondas. Yet its forest is pocked with craters gouged by grime-coated men who tear the earth away with high-pressure water hoses.

And that is only the beginning. To capture the gold flecks, mostly the size of a grain of sand, mercury is used because it is the cheapest, easiest method. It then seeps into the air and rivers, an estimated 35 metric tons a year in Madre de Dios alone, slowly poisoning people, plants, animals and fish, scientific studies show.

Most of the migrant diggers, who have doubled the state’s population since the early 1990s, arrive nearly penniless.

Some are criminals. Some are preteens sold by their parents into servitude, says Feliciano Coila, a lawyer with state child protection services.

The goal of the most ambitious newcomers is to gather enough gold to graduate from peon to subcontractor, put together a crew of a dozen or so miners, provide equipment and buy access to a claim.

“You need a minimum of 50 grams ($2,200 worth of gold) to be invited into a camp” to work a claim, said Miguel Herrera, a mining organizer. Unskilled new arrivals generally can amass about a gram a day, currently worth more than $40. It is a princely sum for Peruvian highlanders accustomed to $3-a-day

wages.

Most prospectors live in a string of jungle boomtowns.

One of the more established is Delta 1, located on the Puquiri River flood plain. It is reached after a precarious canoe crossing of the Inambari river, then a wide dirt toll road across a white-sand river basin exhausted by mining and looking hit by a tsunami. Delta 1’s roughly 6,500 residents lack running water, electricity, sewers and police but have ample machine shops, groceries and brothels.

An older town, Huepetuhe, is flanked by mountains of gravel mine tailings towering over washes that further disfigure a mining wasteland 1.2 miles wide and more than 10 miles long.

Huepetuhe, established in the 1980s, just this year got running water but has long had two entire streets of brothels on stilts. They front a brown sea of silt, the accumulated runoff of adjacent mines that is slowly engulfing the red-light district.

Other boomtowns, mostly lawless, gunslinging places that do not even have names, have sprouted alongside the Interoceanic Highway that connects Puerto Maldonado, the capital, to the rest of Peru. When finished this year, it will link the Pacific coast with neighboring Brazil, and attract even more fortune hunters.

Social worker Oscar Guadalupe, whose organization, Huarayo, runs shelters for child miners and teen prostitutes, counts 2,000 females working in “prostibars” in the mining corridor, a third of them adolescents.

Day and night, the towns are bathed in the eerie glow of blowtorches as welders fix miners’ overworked pumps.

Many prospectors say they would be happy to pay taxes and get services. “It’s better to pay the state than to keep suffering abuse and insecurity,” said Leoncio Jordan Paiba, a 39year -old miner and father of four.

He says he gathers 12 grams of gold a day but, in addition to

paying for workers, equipment and fuel, he must pay the claim’s titleholder a weekly 20gram levy and also keep the area’s Amaraukiri Indians happy.

“They say this land is theirs.

They come pointing guns,” said Jordan. “If you don’t pay them they damage your equipment.

They’ve thrown motors into the mud.”

As he speaks, three men are hosing a crater’s walls with water when one side collapses, nearly burying them alive. They wait a few seconds and resume work.

Such a collapse killed a young digger known only as Martin.

His employers dumped his body in Delta 1, so friends cobbled together a plywood casket, painted it black and set it in the town’s dusty central plaza. They lit candles and held a wake, getting drunk on cheap liquor.

DREMH, the regional mining agency, has allowed wildcat prospectors to invade buf fer zones adjacent to nature preserves and Indian land, and hands out mining permits without first gaining environmental approval. Meanwhile, Madre de Dios state received less than $20,000 last year in revenuesharing from taxes on mining.

A DREMH inspector, Manuel Campo, said he is often denied entry into mining camps, although they are on public land.

“The mob arrives and you can’t do a thing,” he said.

At one mining camp, Ronny Calcina was on break from one of the 24-hour shifts he shares with three other men. After 18 months of backbreaking work, the 34-year -old native of the poor, neighboring highlands province of Puno said he is ready to go back to the family’s potato fields.

He thought he would be earning a lot more, he said. Besides, his wife and 3-year-old son, who live in Delta 1, keep getting sick.

All have had malaria.

Calcina is worried about being poisoned by mercury, which he is exposed to constantly as it is

bur ned out of the puttylike amalgam it forms when it clings to gold dust.

Additional mercury is burned off in open-air storefronts that buy the gold, including a half dozen opposite the main market of Puerto Maldonado.

“This is an area where most people shop, eat, work. This is the center of life for most of Puerto Maldonado,” said Luis Fernandez, a Stanford University environmental scientist who studies the mercury contamination.

Levels he measured inside the shops were 20 to 40 times above World Health Organization standards, and 10 to 20 times above the maximum outside.

“Everyone is being exposed in this area,” said Fernandez. “The people working in the shops are getting dosed with enormous amounts of mercury every day.”

The U.N. is among organizations working to educate prospectors about the dangers and get them to switch to cleaner technology. But Peru is South America’s biggest mercury importer and its sale is unregulated.

Taming Peru’s illegal mining juggernaut might be possible if gold sales were regulated, but they have been unfettered since 1991, when the gover nment closed what had been the only authorized gold-purchasing bank during a wave of privatizations.

Peruvian law requires every buyer of gold to produce certification proving it was mined legally. The law is universally flouted, however, and there is no identification system that would allow it to be tracked. So it is impossible to know whether the gold in a chain or ring bought in New York or Paris was refined with mercury.

Organizations such as the U.K.-based Fairtrade Foundation have set standards for certifying suppliers whose gold does minimal environmental damage.

Walmart is among several big retailers expressing interest, but production is so far minimal.

In February of last year, Peru’s gover nment decreed that all informal mining in Madre de Dios be registered, taxed and regulated. Thousands of prospectors responded by blocking the Panamerican Highway two months later. Some hurled dynamite at police, who responded with bullets, killing six protesters.

The decree was suspended, but Peru’s news media asked why authorities were not punishing companies that buy gold without certifying its provenance, as required by law. The director of mining in Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mining, Victor Vargas, said authorities were working on identifying the companies involved.

“Various companies have been mentioned. We’re collecting evidentiary documents,” he was quoted by the newspaper El Comercio as saying.

Asked by The Associated Press more than a year later to name the culprits, Vargas demurred.

“Look, when it becomes official, the ministry will do so,” he said. “I can’t talk about what’s still being worked on.”

Miss Chaves County makes hair weaves for nonprofit

Jonathan Entzminger Photo

Miss Chaves County Tracey Young holds a hair weave she is selling to benefit Locks of Love, her platform charity for the Miss New Mexico pageant.

Tracey Young hopes to win the Miss New Mexico crown on June 25, a pageant on the Miss America

Circuit. But win or lose, she says she will continue to work with her platform charity Locks of Love.

The 22-year-old aspiring beautician, who studied at Olympian University, is even creating her own hair weaves to benefit the nonprofit, which donates wigs to those who lose hair due to a medical condition, an illness, or any other reason.

“Self-esteem is big when somebody is sick,” Young said, adding that the donations are uplifting to those who receive them.

Young says she was originally inspired to donate her own locks after learning a friend lost her hair after receiving medical treatment for cancer.

“I had a friend who was with me in ballet, and she

LOCAL

BUSINESS got diagnosed with leukemia and lost all of her hair,” Young said.

Since then, Young says she has donated to the nonprofit. Her latest donation was in March. She says that her experience with the charity has also taught her an important lesson.

“Selflessness leads you better to happiness than selfishness does,” she said.

Locks of Love requires that the hair be at least 10

inches long and unbleached in order to donate. Colored, permed and grey hair is accepted.

For more information on how to purchase hair weaves from Young, email t.michelle.young@gmail.co m. All proceeds benefit Locks of Love.

Lady Gaga sings ‘Born This Way’ at Rome gay rally ROME (AP) — Lady Gaga sang a few bars of her smash hit “Born This Way” and demanded the end of discrimination against gays as she proclaimed herself a “child of diversity” at a gay pride rally Saturday night in the ancient Circus Maximus.

The star, whose “Born This Way” album recently topped 1 million sales in a week, delighted tens of thousands of people at a brief concert in the vast field where the ancient Roman masses would gather for spectacles.

Wearing a green wig, she played the piano and sang a few numbers. But she devoted much of her appearance after an annual European gay pride parade to denounce intolerance and discrimination against gays and transgender people. Among the places she cited was the Middle East, Poland, Russia and Lithuania.

Lady Gaga told the crowd she is often asked “How gay are you, Lady Gaga?”

“My answer is: ‘I am a child of diversity.”’

She also proudly cited her Italian roots — saying she was really named Stefania Giovanna Angelina Germanotta.

And she told fans her costume — a sleek black

Decrying intolerance of homosexuality, Lady Gaga lamented that young people who are gay are susceptible to “suicide, selfloathing, isolation.”

Many in the crowd had participated in an hourslong parade of color ful floats and brightly costumed marchers through Rome’s historic center before the rally. The events were part of the annual Europride day to encourage gay rights on the continent.

Lady Gaga praised her audience for its “great courage” which she says inspires her.

Europride organizers hope the event will draw attention to discrimination gays face in many parts of the world. The U.S. ambassador was among those who invited Lady Gaga to Rome.

“I am so honored to be here,” Lady Gaga said, recalling how, earlier in the day, she lay naked in silk sheets in her hotel room and enjoyed the din of adoring fans and packs of photographers in the street below.
