GOP HOLDS TOWN HALLS ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Freshman Rep. Daniel Webster was armed with a rainbow of graphs and pie charts, ready to make the GOP’s case for budget cuts before his own constituents.

He was barely a minute into his prepared remarks Tuesday when the yelling started.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (AP) — Floodwaters threatened earthen levees protecting thousands of homes in the nation’s midsection Tuesday, rising so fast in some places that panicked residents didn’t have time to pile up sandbags.

days of rain and the possibility of tornadoes.

The greatest flooding threat loomed in the southeastern Missouri community of Poplar Bluff, a town of 17,000 residents about 130 miles south of St. Louis.

Six inches of rain fell Monday alone, bringing the four-day total to 15 inches.

By midday, the deluge had caused the Black River to pour over a levee in 30 places. The flood wall extending from Poplar Bluff to the town of Qulin downstream was also breached in at least one place, allow-

“Each heavy downpour, each hour that passes by with the water pushing on that levee, the likelihood of a failure is that much more possible,” said Deputy Police Chief Jeff Rolland, calling it a “miracle” that the first hole did not develop until late morning.

RPD responds to shots fired at Allsup’s

Officers of the Roswell Police Department responded to a report of shots fired around Allsup’s, 1618 S.E. Main St. at 7:30 p.m, Monday.

James Gomez’s murder trial began Tuesday.

Gomez, 20, is charged with the stabbing death of 16year-old Zachary Perez.

In his opening statement, Assistant District Attorney Don Moore admitted that Perez had stabbed Gomez.

However, Moore pointed to the route Perez followed when he fled from 612 E. Sixth St. where Gomez was stabbed, through two backyards, across a park to a vacant lot near the intersection of East Fifth Street and Mulberry Avenue.

Perez’s body was found by friends and family around 2 a.m. on Feb. 13, 2010. Moore noted that Perez had been stabbed 22 times.

“The defendant got picked up at a house and was taken to Hagerman.

From there he went to Artesia to be treated for his wounds,” Moore said.

According to Moore, when Gomez was interviewed by police in Artesia, he told the officer he had been attacked in Hagerman by men who had wanted cigarettes.

Attorney for the defense, Randall M. Harris of Clovis, stated that Gomez had been injured first and his reaction could be viewed as self-defense, a reaction of fear, not only of the victim, but the victim’s family.

Harris explained the laws of New Mexico do not require a person to retreat from attack. “It was kill or be killed.”

He discussed briefly the difference between witness testimony and what a person might think. “Think does not not pay the bulldog.”

The first witness for the state was Cheryl Ortega, the victim’s mother, who See TRIAL, Page A8

chusetts that is strikingly similar to President Barack Obama’s massive health overhaul that many Republicans loathe. Others, including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, are struggling to gain attention.

As a candidate, Daniels could trumpet his success in balancing the state budget, weakening teachers’ unions and setting in motion a substantial education agenda — all this year.

“He’s going to have some victories at the Statehouse,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker. “He’s got the majorities.”

Republicans hold 60 seats of the 100-member state House and 33 of the Senate’s 50 seats.

“For anyone who underestimates Mitch, they do so at their own risk,” Parker said.

Daniels, a political strategist who served in the Reagan White House, called many of the shots in his two guber natorial races.

fiscal conservatives’ goals: He scrapped the requirement that state employees belong to unions, privatized the state’s toll road, turned budget deficits into surpluses and expanded health care to more than 130,000 residents with tax hikes on cigarettes.

As he enters the last two years of his ter m, he’s working to expand his national profile.

Daniels plans to address the conservative American Enterprise Institute next week to talk about his education agenda. If lawmakers don’t weaken his plan in the final days, it will include the nation’s broadest school voucher program allowing middleand low-income families to use taxpayer funds to send students to private schools.

His wife, Cheri, is to headline an Indiana GOP fundraiser later in May, a notable shift for a spouse more likely to show up at county fairs unannounced than to take the podium in front of thousands of political activists. And Daniels is to release a policy book this fall called “Keeping the Republic: Limited Government, Unlimited Citizens.“ In Iowa, some of the state’s most prominent and potent operatives are eagerly awaiting Daniels’ decision now that Barbour

isn’t in the race emphasizing solving the federal government’s fiscal problems.

“I think there’s an opening to take up that message,” Branstad said.

Des Moines Republican Doug Gross, long involved in party politics in the state, has spoken highly of Daniels, too, and says there’s a place in the field for a budget hawk.

Even so, Daniels’ suggestion that social issues take a backseat to economic and fiscal concerns would cause him headaches in Iowa.

Branstad said evangelical conservatives — who account for roughly half of Iowa Republicans — would hold Daniels to account even though he has a record as a loyal social conservative.

Still, with Barbour out of the race, Daniels could benefit from donors and operatives who no longer have a candidate to back.

His advisers privately acknowledge that he has not done the legwork other Republicans weighing bids have done, and that could put him at a disadvantage.

Most GOP presidential prospects have reached out to Iowans — and other voters in early primary states — over the past year to gauge interest. But Daniels has avoided it and declined several invitations to speak in the states.

for extraterrestrial intelligence, an effort scientists refer to as SETI. “There’s plenty of cosmic real estate that looks promising,” Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the institute, said Tuesday. “We’ve lost the instrument that’s best for zeroing in on these better targets.”

The shutdown came just as researchers were preparing to point the radio dishes at a batch of new planets.

About 50 or 60 of those planets appear to be about the right distance from stars to have temperatures that could make them habitable, Shostak said.

The 42 radio dishes had scanned deep space since 2007 for signals from alien civilizations while also conducting research into the structure and origin of the universe.

SETI Institute chief executive Tom Pierson said in an email to donors last week that the University of California, Berkeley, has run out of money for dayto-day operation of the dishes.

“Unfortunately, today’s gover nment budgetary environment is very difficult, and new solutions must be found,” Pierson wrote.

The $50 million array was built by SETI and UC Berkeley with the help of a $30 million donation from Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen.

Operating the dishes cost about $1.5 million a year, mostly to pay for the staff of eight to 10 researchers and technicians to operate the facility.

An additional $1 million a year was needed to collect and sift the data from the dishes.

The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the billionaire’s philanthropic venture, had no immediate plans to provide more funding to the facility, said David Postman, a foundation spokesman.

The institute, however, was hopeful the U.S. Air Force might find the dishes useful as part of its mission to track space debris and provide funding to keep the equipment operating.

Congressional Republicans go home to mixed reviews Roswell Daily Record

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Freshman Rep. Daniel Webster was armed with a rainbow of graphs and pie charts, ready to make the GOP’s case for budget cuts before his own constituents. He was barely a minute into his prepared remarks Tuesday when the yelling started.

The first heckler shouted his doubts about the Florida congressman’s promise to do what is right in Washington. From there, the hour -long meeting in Orlando was filled with a constant stream of boos and questioners in the crowd of 300 shouting over each other.

Twelve minutes into his remarks, Webster couldn’t be heard over the shouting on both sides. He tried to continue but then stood quietly for a minute smiling, his hands clasped together in front.

The Republican plan to fundamentally restructure Medicare and cut social safety net programs like food stamps and Medicaid has at times been a raucously tough sell as its supporters head home and meet with their constituents, including Democrats organized against them. Even the architect of the plan, Rep. Paul Ryan, has been booed, though many of those attending four meetings Tuesday in his home state of Wisconsin were supportive.

The GOP plan passed by the House this month envisions cutting government deficits by a total $6.2 trillion over the next decade.

One of its most contentious provisions calls for eventually transforming Medicare into a voucher-like system

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Fla., right, answers questions from constituents during a crowded town hall meeting in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday. in which private insurance plans, not the government, pay medical bills. The plan has drawn scor n from Democrats, including President Barack Obama, who want wealthier Americans to pay higher taxes to help reduce the deficit.

The plan follows a bruising budget battle that nearly produced a government shutdown, and comes as the stakes have been raised on the nation’s burgeoning debt. Republicans and Democrats are at odds over must-pass legislation to allow the gover nment to borrow more money, and last week the Standard & Poor’s credit agency lowered its long-term outlook for the federal government’s fiscal health.

Democratic activists made up much of the chorus of critics at Webster’s event and elsewhere. The reactions echoed the larger

angry crowds who met Democratic supporters of Obama’s health-care overhaul in the last Congress.

Webster defended the Republican plan. “We don’t have a tax problem. We have a spending problem,” he said to wild applause from supporters.

“We put forth a proposal to cut spending. If we keep things the way it is, you pick your country, which one you want to borrow from,” Webster added, displaying a pie chart of countries that hold U.S. debt.

“Is this your new scare tactic?” shouted Maria Reynolds, a 52-year -old real estate agent.

“Be quiet!” shouted a man sitting by her.

“Let the Bush tax cuts expire,” shouted James Callahan, 52, a Democratic precinct committee member.

Supporters then began to

chant “Let him talk!”

Reynolds started chanting, “Let him lie!”

After the meeting, Webster said he welcomed the debate.

“There is nothing wrong with a clash of ideas,” he said. “To me, the more policy we can make based on discussions like this, the better the policy is going to be because it reveals the blind spots people have, including me.”

R yan faced more civil crowds in Wisconsin, where some thanked him and expressed support for his dedication on the issues.

But he also had his critics.

Sandra Lepisto, 65, a retired elementary school teacher from Racine, said she was concerned about Ryan’s Medicare plan. She held a sign that read, “We use up the voucher, and then what?”

“R yan’s numbers don’t

make sense. If something catastrophic happens and your voucher runs out, what are your options then?” Lepisto said in Kenosha.

Ryan criticized Democrats for attacking his plan, but acknowledged the GOP has responded similarly to Democratic proposals. He said honest discussion is needed.

“Look, scaring seniors comes out every two years, and this time it’s the Democrats trying to do it,” Ryan said.

R yan drew standingroom-only crowds at all four of his Tuesday meetings. Two were so full that dozens of constituents, along with press members, were denied entry. The only venue that drew obvious protesters was Kenosha, Wis., where about 80 people stood with signs such as “Ryan Hood Steals From

US And Gives To The Rich” and “Paul Ryan Stop Lyin’.”

Jim Johnson left the Kenosha meeting early, telling a reporter outside he and his wife were among a small group who booed when Ryan entered. Johnson, 63, said he voted for Ryan in years past but had grown increasingly disgusted.

“He says Medicare is unsustainable. I’m thinking, ’Yeah, it’s because medical costs are out of control,”’ said Johnson, a retired Navy captain. “Why isn’t he attacking it at that level?”

Ryan also was booed last week at a meeting in Elkhorn, Wis. So was freshman Republican Rep. Lou Barletta, at a meeting in his Pennsylvania district.

The Mor ning Call of Allentown reported that the dispute began with a woman chastising Barletta for his support of the GOP budget plan. Two men shouted at the woman, who was defended by a third man. He was removed by police after the trio exchanged angry words.

Kelly, a Shawn spokesman for Barletta, said the woman who interrupted the meeting was president of a Democratic group, and that that meeting got rowdy not because of anger over the budget plan, but because of people who refused to give up the floor.

In upstate New York cheers and a smattering of boos greeted freshman Rep. Chris Gibson, whose town hall meeting Tuesday in Malta, north of Albany, drew about 150 people.

Endeavour begins countdown for next-to-last shuttle launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The astronaut husband of wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords arrived at NASA’s launch site Tuesday for this week’s flight of space shuttle Endeavour, and said his wife would be following him “pretty soon” — in plenty of time for liftoff.

Endeavour is set to blast off Friday afternoon on its final voyage. It will be the next-to-last space shuttle mission. Navy Capt. Mark Kelly and his crew flew into Kennedy Space Center early Tuesday afternoon.

The countdown began about an hour later.

Speaking on behalf of his five crewmates, Kelly expressed pleasure at seeing the astronauts’ wives and children, who flew in a little earlier and gathered nearby.

Giffords was not in the crowd. She has been in Houston, where she is undergoing rehabilitation for a gunshot wound to the head. She was attacked Jan. 8 in her Tucson, Ariz., hometown.

“I’m personally looking forward to my wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, getting here pretty soon, to be here in time for our launch on Friday,” Kelly told the crowd of family members and journalists.

“It’s something she’s been looking forward to for a long time,” he said. “She’s been working really hard to

make sure that her doctors would permit her to come.

She’s more than medically ready to be here, and she’s excited about making this trip.”

Kelly was joined Tuesday by his identical twin, astronaut Scott Kelly. Both wore turquoise “Gabby” wristbands. Her staff said Giffords’ travel for Florida would be provided by NASA. President Barack Obama and his family also will attend the liftoff.

NASA test director Jeremy Graeber said the presidential visit — and Giffords’ presence — will not distract the launch team. It’s exciting, though, to have so many people coming for Endeavour’s final takeoff, especially first-time guests, he said.

Forecasters put the odds of good launch weather at 80 percent. Launch time is 3:47 p.m.

Endeavour will carry a $2 billion particle physics experiment to the International Space Station along with a load of spare station parts.

The 30-year shuttle program will end this summer with the flight of Atlantis.

This will be the 134th shuttle mission overall and the 25th for NASA’s youngest shuttle. It first flew in 1992, as the replacement for the lost Challenger.

Martinez tests the limits of her authority as governor

SANTA FE — Gov. Susana Martinez promised bold action, which she now is delivering in a fashion that reminds us of her two predecessors.

Former Gov. Gary Johnson announced for president a few days ago. Predictably, he featured his 742 vetoes during an eightyear period. It was an all-time record for the state of New Mexico.

Johnson told a crowd in New Hampshire that he now wants to become the “veto president.”

With 98 vetoes in her first legislative session as governor, Martinez is on schedule to at least equal Johnson’s record. Remember, we have a special session on redistricting scheduled for September. The Democratic Legislature is sure to send Martinez something she can veto. Gary Johnson vetoed redistricting bills that ended up in court.

Besides her 98 vetoes, Martinez also partially vetoed three other bills. Those line-item vetoes totaled more than 50 and included two

questionable vetoes of measures that weren’t really appropriation bills and some other questionable vetoes lowering the amount of appropriations.

Some of these vetoes are likely to end up in court, especially one that wiped out the total appropriation to the Commission on the Status of Women. The court may be asked whether a governor can terminate a commission established by law.

In another bold action, Gov. Martinez removed two members of the three-member Public Employee Labor Relations Board that the governor doesn’t even appoint. The state Supreme Court ruled against

Roswell Daily Record

the governor in that situation, saying she can’t fire people who aren’t gubernatorial appointments. It was the second time the Supreme Court has ruled against the governor in her three-month tenure.

In the other case, Gov. Martinez sought to block publication of greenhouse gas emission rules the Richardson administration had approved shortly before she took office.

It isn’t unusual for governors to test their limits. Before Congress would approve New Mexico’s original constitution, it wanted to guard against any one person gaining too much power. New Mexico was known for lawlessness.

Congress seemed to trust our state Legislature more than any other body. It didn’t want laws being made “in the street” either so it declined to allow voters to put items on the statewide ballot to be voted upon by referendum.

Since New Mexico always has had a weak executive branch of government; governors always

have tried to exert their powers as much as possible. Former Gov. Johnson didn’t have much luck with his efforts to strengthen his office. The court kept knocking him down so he began referring to the justices as people arranging chicken bones in order to divine a decision. That didn’t help him much either.

Gov. Martinez based her removal of the entire Labor Relations Board on Gov. Richardson’s court-backed total dismissal of the Judicial Standards Commission. But the court explained that all seven members of that commission are gubernatorial appointees and unless the law specified that members could not be removed until the end of their terms, Richardson’s action was lawful.

Gov. Martinez explained that some of her actions may seem anti-state employee but she is proud that she has prevented any layoffs or furloughs. She hasn’t explained what she calls the action taken against the Commission on

the Status of Women. With its total budget eliminated, there won’t be any salaries for the seven employees.

Elimination of the entire budget of the Afro-American Performing Arts Center at the State Fairgrounds just might involve some people too. A few other people have contacted me saying they always thought they were classified state employees but are now discovering that they are not. That sounds like a fault of the Richardson administration.

The state Personnel Office, which administers the state Personnel Act, has had its problems during the Gary Johnson and Bill Richardson administrations. Johnson thought it was too difficult to fire people. Richardson thought it was too hard to hire them. That entire system needs reworking.

Warning shot on the deficit

Congress and the administration got a warning shot on the deficit last week from a major credit rating agency, which downgraded its long-term outlook on U.S. debt from stable to negative. The statement from Standard & Poor’s sent stock prices tumbling and gold prices upward. That’s a stern message that bickering has to come to an end and real action must be taken to curb the deficit and total U.S. debt.

Stock prices have since recovered somewhat, but gold prices are still strong. The rating agency affirmed its AAA or top rating for the debt for now, but added that it worries about the country’s “very large budget deficits and rising government indebtedness,” contending that the “path to addressing these is not clear to us.”

S&P added that it believes “there is a material risk that U.S. policymakers might not reach an agreement on how to address medium- and long-term budgetary challenges by 2013.”

In other words, the rating agency worries that electioneering for the 2012 presidential and congressional races will get in the way of serious discussions and real action on trimming the federal deficit and overall government debt as a share of economic output.

S&P’s main competitor in the debt rating business, Moody’s, did not join it in changing its long-term outlook, noting that the debt reduction plans produced by President Barack Obama and Republican House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin “represent a significant shift in the U.S. fiscal debate.” However, Moody’s pointedly noted at the end of its statement that the United States “stands out from other major countries as not yet having a plan for reversing its upward debt trajectory.”

This is all gentlemanly market-speak for telling Congress and the president to get their acts together on deficit-cutting. As Reuters news service noted, the government takes in less than 60 cents in revenue for every dollar it spends. The ratings agencies aren’t alone in voicing concerns.

The largest bond fund, PIMCO, Reuters noted, announced in February it was dumping all of its treasury holdings from the $236 billion Total Return Fund.

Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner have both issued soothing assurances that the debt problem will be addressed, but the 2011 budget deal with congressional Republicans announced with such fanfare isn’t encouraging. Total savings of $38 billion were touted, but the Congressional Budget Office subsequently noted that the actual spending cuts in the current fiscal year would amount to only $352 million.

With a total of more than $14 trillion in total outstanding debt, both Democrats and Republicans will have to do better than that.

Guest Editorial The Detroit News DEAR DR. GOTT: My father is 93 years old. Owing to an enlarged prostate, he is not able to completely empty his bladder.

He is feeling no pain and minimal discomfort from this condition. In fact, he feels it is more of a nuisance having to urinate frequently.

His urologist recommends GreenLight laser surgery to relieve the problem. He has been told that this condition, if left untreated, could lead to kidney problems and/or a blood infection. He is fearful that the surgery could lead to incontinence.

This thought distresses him greatly. What is your opinion of this option for treating his problem? Are there other options he could consider?

Jones, the “pastor” (PINO?) of the tiny and inconsequential Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., was jailed last week in Dearborn, Mich., “following a jury trial that found he was likely to create a ‘breach of the peace’ for plans to protest outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn,” according to the Detroit News. Jones and his associate Wayne Sapp were taken into custody after they refused to post a $1 “peace bond.” A judge then barred

Support after crash appreciated

Dear Editor: On behalf of the 10,000 employees of Gulfstream Aerospace, we want to thank the Roswell community for the tremendous support we have received.

While our stay in Roswell ended on a tragic note following the loss of four employees during flight testing, your community’s hospitality and kindness managed to lighten our hearts and lift our spirits.

We were touched to see the flags flying at half-staff to honor our fallen crew. We were awed by the support we received from the Roswell Police and Fire departments, the Roswell Airport Authority and Great Southwest Aviation.

We were overwhelmed by the number of business owners and residents offering to help. To the restaurant owners who delivered food, thank you. Your generosity of spirit fed our souls.

To the hotels that juggled schedules and changed reservations without complaint, thank you. Your kindness brought us comfort during an extremely difficult time.

To the residents and business owners who stepped in to meet our every need, thank you. Your compassion warmed our hearts.

To everyone who lifted us up when we were down, thank you. Your hospitality, kindness and generosity did not go unnoticed.

Drilling restrictions hurt everyone

Dear Editor: Please read through before you make your mind up. First I want to start with little trip down memory lane.

I remember when I was little girl in the 1980s my father was superintendent of drilling for an independent oil company. We would have to travel from town to town during the oil boom, everywhere we went we were considered oil field trash by each and every community we moved into. My family was on the good side, made a lot of money and people who were not oilfield were taught to hate us because we had jobs and money. Most of the time our men and women working doing a great job, were not highly educated, but they were very skilled and paid very well for the dangerous jobs they did.

Now with this thought fresh in your mind as to how most of the non-oil related American looks upon us here you can understand as to what a battle we have trying to get the attention we need here to save our jobs. We need to refocus our attention, make the rest of country understand if drilling and production is slowed how much will it affect people who are not part of the oil family?

What will it cost each and every American at the gas pump? How many jobs will be lost that are not oil related due to this impact to us?

Currently no one is caring about the drilling situation in the Gulf because the media has made it about greedy oil companies. Where are the studies as to how much it is costing the average American? Until we get the numbers out and start making this about the rest of the country’s economy, the average American will not care if we lose jobs here or anywhere else in America.

Are we not entitled to an ombudsman? If we are, who is our ombudsman? Were there any other independent studies done on the lizard? How much did we pay for the study?

Where was it conducted? Please, I ask of you to call and write anyone you know who is not oil related and demand the study be done as to what it is costing or going to cost the average American. The only way to get the attention we need is to make this about the average non-oil related American, how it will affect their pocket book and not ours.

The average American won’t care unless it is going to hurt them.

Sincerely, Mary White Hagerman

Sex is natural

Dear Editor: Fundamentalists and Evangelicals are always so “uptight” about sex.

They seem to feel the only way you have sex is when you are married or you will “go to hell.” fewer follow-up procedures may be necessary for confirmation of suspicious lesions; and there is less radiation exposure.

The FDA approved digital mammography in 2000. A large clinical trial comparing digital to film mammography was published and failed to reveal differences in the detection of breast cancer in the women who participated. One interesting conclusion was that digital mammography was more accurate for pre- and peri-menopausal women and for women with dense breasts.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.

In fact, if you don’t agree with their beliefs and get “born again,” it is the only way to go to Heaven. Therefore, if you don’t agree with the way they feel, you are doomed to hell — whatever that may be.

For example, a woman unmarried, 42 years of age, is supposed to abstain from sex all of those years or have sex and go to hell. Let’s talk about a woman who married at 21 and divorced at age 31.

Is she supposed to forget sex until she marries again? These fundamentalists and evangelicals are so judgmental and cruel, they all seem to have such an aversion to sex and as far as that goes, the Bible is so unbelievable about sex. Fundamentalists and evangelicals have such an aversion to sex. Of course, they believe that masturbation is a sin — that will send you straight to hell — it’s in the Bible!

In the Bible, if a woman commits adultery, she should be stoned to death.

I believe sex is good, healthy and beautiful for anyone married or unmarried.

Tim Daniel (Humanist) Roswell

Wealthy not sharing the burden

Dear Editor: In a speech recently in Colorado, Obama said, “Now, make no mistake: the change we need won’t come easy or without cost.

We will all need to tighten our belts, we will all need to sacrifice and we will all need to pull our weight because now more than ever, we are all in this together.”

He isn’t the only one. Republicans and Democrats alike (but mostly Republicans) are hard pressed to talk about balancing the federal budget without echoing the words “we all have to sacrifice.”

Exactly who makes up the “we all”? I know some of them. Mostly the poor and lower middle class who will have to sacrifice health care, education for their children,

for the 8-1 majority: “Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain.

On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.”

Speech with which one agrees is easy to defend. Most would defend political speech with which they disagree, although a minority would censor it. The strength and uniqueness of the First Amendment is that it defends even hate speech. The response to speech we don’t like is not less speech, but more. In Skokie, some Holocaust survivors created a museum to commemorate those who were murdered by the Nazis. That’s the correct reaction. Overcome darkness with light. Overcome speech you don’t like with speech you do like.

In the Jones case, what are the Dearborn authorities thinking? Isn’t Islam a “religion of peace”? President Obama — and George W. Bush before him — has said it is. If lawful speech and assembly brings an unlawful act of violence, shouldn’t the lawbreakers be the ones punished?

This is America and public sidewalks should be for the use of the public to practice even of fensive speech and

unemployment benefits and school lunches, which are for many kids the only balanced meal they will have that day. And the elderly surviving on Social Security and Medicare as their Medicare Part B rates increase.

But what about those making more than $200,000 a year? What about Obama himself; the Congress and their staffs; banking and insurance executives; mortgage lenders; oil industry executives; corporate farmers; and many others? They stand aside from the “we all” crowd.

They could be included in making a minor sacrifice in the way of a tax increase.

But suggesting that to a Republican or a wealthy person is like holding a crucifix up to the face of Dracula. Yet how many of them, if taxes on those making $200,000 or more were raised, would opt for a smaller paycheck to drop them into a lower tax bracket so they wouldn’t have to pay so much tax?

Today’s taxpayer making over $200,000 is paying the lowest marginal rate since 1932, almost 80 years ago.

Consider this. When I left home and joined the Marine Corps in 1952 my father made about $7,000 a year. According to Google’s inflation calculator that would equate to about $58,000 a year today. He paid a marginal income tax rate of 42 percent. His contemporary today pays a marginal rate of only 25 percent, almost half.

Yet today’s taxpayer screams and whines about high taxes more than I remember my father complaining about taxes back then.

Take comfort in the fact that “we all” is really a select group of Americans; those who are not comfortably well off and can’t afford things like adequate health care, a college education, or even a two-week vacation in these times when the greatest amount of wealth transfer is from the bottom up.

Noel Sivertson Roswell peaceful assembly. That some “fear” violence is no excuse for prior restraint of speech and assembly. From whom is the violence feared?

What the Muslims in Dearborn and elsewhere in the country should be told is that in America, we do things differently than in countries where Muslims have political control. If you want to be tolerated, you have to tolerate others, including those whose beliefs you don’t like. We don’t conform to your religious laws; you conform to our secular laws.

We are about freedom.

If you have an agenda, don’t bring it here. In fact, if our ways are so offensive to you, why are you here? Why come to a land regarded by some Islamic leaders, and many followers, as “the Great Satan”? Why not stay in your home country, or, if you were born in America and embrace Islam, why not live in countries where Islam is the dominant religion? Or do you wish to dominate and subjugate the rest of us to your Sharia law?

If that is your goal, we will oppose you and even demonstrate against it.

Except, apparently, in Dearborn, Mich.

Combat vets get compensation passed Legislation to finally allow retired,100 percent combat disabled veterans with less than 20 years of service to receive both their retirement pension and VA disability compensation has passed Congress, to the relief of that most financially vulnerable group of veterans. Notification of the law change has unfortunately been slow to make its way to the veteran population, which is not a new problem.

Several veterans I’ve talked with were not yet aware of the new benefit, but that’s another problem for another day.

The great news is our government has eliminated what has been a clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act for many years and will make life a little easier on veterans who haven’t been able to work since way before the last economic “downturn” (due to serious physical impair ments from combat injuries).

After more than a 100 year battle with Congress to obtain the same benefits as other governmental retirees, which were the receipt of their retirement pay, earned by years of service to the country, plus disability compensation for service connected combat injuries, disabled military retirees are now receiving benefits. Since 2004, military retirees with 20 or more years of service and a Veterans Affairs rated disability of 50% or higher have been allowed to receive their VA Disability Compensation and their retired pay without any offsetting deductions. Prior to that 2004 law all military retirees had their military retired pay reduced by any amount of disability compensation they received.

Veterans who were forced to retire with less than 20 years service were not so fortunate. Now that has changed. The 2004 change was automatic for the 20 year retirees, but not so with vets left out of the first law change. You might almost think the government is hoping the word doesn’t get out too quickly so the veterans’ money will be kept in circulation.

Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay allows military retirees with 20 years service to receive both military retired pay and Veterans Affairs compensation.

CRDP is a “phase in” of benefits that gradually restores a retiree's VA disability offset. This means that an eligible retiree's retired pay will gradually increase each year until the phase-in is complete in 2014. You do not need to

Is it good to remove shoots for growth?

Q. My Mexican elder trees in Las Cruces do not have any leaves on them, but several of them have a lot of shoots growing from the trunk near the ground.

In the past I have removed the shoots to encourage growth in the canopy (or so I thought that would work). Is that the right thing to do?

Barb D. A. It is usually a good idea to remove the new shoots forming at the base of a Mexican elder, desert willow, or other tree that tries to be a shrub by producing numerous basal shoots. However, this year some of these trees may have lost twigs and even branches (perhaps trunks) to the extreme cold weather.

Even if new growth develops, it may be weak and may eventually die back. The lower sprouts may be necessary to save the trees.

In some cases, the renewed plant may appear to be a shrub for a few years.

After a couple of years you can select one or a few healthy sprouts to become the new trunk. For now, it may be wise to let the basal growth grow until you know how much damage occurred in the upper portions of your tree.

Q. I have heard my grandparents and parents talk about frijol de bolita. They tell me no seed is available anymore. My question is do you know where I may find seed?

Joseph S. A. I searched the internet for “bolita beans” and found a grower in Moriarty

who grows bolita beans. The Santa Fe Growers Market was also listed and several out of state growers produce these beans for sale (as food). They are listed in the “local harvest” web site, localharvest.org/ark-product.jsp?id=194.

There are other growers listed on other web sites discovered by searching “bolita beans.” Perhaps one of these growers would share some seeds with you.

Addresses are given on the "local harvest" web site.

sives to blow a 2-mile-wide hole through a levee to ease the pressure on others.

Butler County Sheriff Mark Dodd said the water pouring through the levee was unlikely to make it far enough upstream to add to the threat facing Poplar Bluff, where about 1,000 homes had already been evacuated. But authorities planned to evacuate more homes closer to the breach, which was in a sparsely populated area.

Terry Jones went to St. Louis over the weekend to attend her sister’s funeral.

By the time she returned, her home was flooded.

“By the time I got out there, water was over my porch,” said Jones, a 51year-old retiree. “My front room is messed up. I don’t know about the bedrooms because I couldn’t get in.”

Despite the punishment the region has already endured, the weather was expected to get worse —

and soon. Another line of stor ms moving through Oklahoma and Texas carried the same threat of tornadoes and flooding but over a broader area that stretched from Dallas to Louisiana and up to Memphis.

Greg Carbin, the warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said having two systems develop backto-back is unusual.

“It’s basically in the same place for two days in a row,” Carbin said. “That doesn’t happen very often.

Such rapid succession doesn’t give any time for a break.

In 2008, flooding damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes in Poplar Bluff, raising doubts about whether the levee was capable of protecting the town during heavy rain. A federal inspection gave the levee a failing grade, and the private district that maintains it has been unable to make repairs.

The stor m system

dumped heavy rain on seven states and spawned at least one tornado Monday in Arkansas. The twister killed four people and blasted a path of destruction through the town of Vilonia, 25 miles north of Little Rock. Four others died in floods.

On Tuesday, the weather service sent survey teams to Vilonia and nearby Garland County to investigate the damage and assess how much of it was caused by tornados or straight-line winds.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if we were to end up with a count of 10 or 12 tornadoes by the time all the surveys are completed,” said John Robinson, another weather service meteorologist.

Parts of the South were also in peril.

In Mississippi, a 3-yearold girl was killed when a storm toppled a tree onto her home. And in the sleepy town of Smithland, Ky., residents fled their homes while hundreds of volunteers piled sandbags along the riverfront. The

water was rising 6 inches a day.

Back in Poplar Bluf f, street department workers stood guard at a handful of trouble spots on the levee, monitoring water seepage.

The water in some streets and driveways was actually going down — a result, police said, of the levee break downriver relieving some pressure.

Many homes were empty. Because most families had fled the flood plain, much of the activity in town Tuesday involved sightseers coming in for a look at nature’s show.

If the Poplar Bluff levy were to fail entirely, the rushing floodwaters could destroy or severely damage 500 homes and potentially displace some 7,000 people in the surrounding flood plain, authorities said. Already, 23 small businesses have taken on water.

The Army Corps of Engineers postponed its decision on a proposal to blow a huge hole in the Birds Point levee in southeast

Missouri, just downriver of the confluence. The idea was hatched as a desperate bid to reduce the amount of water moving down the Mississippi.

Gov. Jay Nixon opposed the plan, which would soak 130,000 acres of far mland — an area stretching 30 miles north to south and as much as 8 to 10 miles wide.

The state attorney general filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court seeking to block the demolition, arguing that the floodwaters could damage 100 homes and leave behind a layer of silt that could take a generation to clear. Sandbagging wasn’t an option in many places because the river simply rose too quickly.

“By the time we realized what was happening, it was too dangerous to sandbag,” Butler County Presiding Commissioner Ed Strenfel said.

Hotels filled up, and more than 250 people took shelter at the Black River Coliseum, the town’s 500seat concert venue.

At the arena, dozens of green cots lined the floor.

A few people had air mattresses.

One man strummed a guitar. Others read the paper. Small children chased each other between the cots.

“Once this is over, I’m probably moving,” said Frank Christy, a 27-yearold construction worker taking shelter with his three children, ages 3 to 5.

Gov. Jay Nixon, who toured the area by helicopter, knew that displaced families faced a long road to recovery.

“People are out of their homes. They’re losing their possessions. It’s going to be a huge challenge,” he said.

Neighboring towns were suffering, too.

Melissa Porter, city clerk in nearby Neelyville, said sewage was backing up into streets, and looting was reported in some vacant homes.

The Missouri National Guard sent 200 guardsmen and rescue equipment to the area. Several people had to be rescued by boat.

Pecos, Valley View and Washington Avenue elementary schools that education can be more than taking tests, said Ronda Cole, director of the Air Force Research Laboratory.

“Our whole goal is to get

students excited about science, technology, engineering and math,” Cole said. “To me, we’re starting to peak their curiosity.”

Teachers who spent the day on the red planet agreed.

“It just adds so much more,” said Margaret Bohlin, of Valley View Elementary School.

The idea of hands-on learning was not lost on Bohlin’s students, either.

“Instead of sitting down and writing papers, I like

this better,” said Israel Gutierrez, a 10-year -old Valley View student.

Other students agreed.

“You get to study more stuff and actually have fun with it,” said Demetrio Gallegos, 11.

The Air Force Research

Laboratory will be conducting a similar event in Albuquerque next week, Cole said, adding that she hopes Roswell schools will become more involved with the program in years to come.

“They have cultural identities, but they don’t have historical identities because they don’t think of their behavior in historical terms,” Negrete said of college students. “Historical identity is far more important than cultural identity.”

Negrete has toured across the U.S. with this mission in mind for the past 35 years, performing

mainly in universities. He studied educational anthropology and ethnomusicology, or the comparative study of music of different cultures, at the University of Chicago and Chicago State University, in addition to his doctoral degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

In his story, Negrete traces the history of Mexican-Latino experiences

from pre-Columbian times to present, mentioning César Chávez, a Latino civil rights activist, the thousands of Mexican immigrants who came to the Southwest to work in 1942 and the Mexican Revolution.

“I have been the bloody revolution,” he crooned. “I was the victim, and I was the vanquished. I had killed and I had been

killed... the year was 1928.”

Students responded by singing along to the refrain and clapping along to the beat.

“It’s a different way of telling history,” Marely Castro, 20, a sociology student, said.

“He’s funny,” Oscar Guerrero, 19, another sociology student, added.

“He knows how to make it

Under cross-examination, Ortega was questioned about the tattoos on the victim’s chin. She replied that he was a member of the San Jose Eastside gang, then asked who was on trial, Gomez or her son.

The state called Amanda Granados. She described herself as a friend of Jesus

Carranza.

Carranza is also charged with the murder of Perez.

Granados reponded to questions about the events of the evening, saying, “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.”

Assistant District Attorney Debra Hutchins referred back to previous

sworn testimony and quoted Granados’ answers, and Granados replied, “I’ve blocked it out. I don’t want to remember. That night destroyed me.”

Perez’s brother, James Ortega, took the stand and refused to answer any questions beyond his name.

“This is a tremendous change in the automobile industry,” Mulally said.

The average price of a Ford vehicle increased $2,515 to $33,173 in the first quarter, according to auto pricing site T rueCar.com. That was $3,000 more than the average price for the industry.

Ford raised prices to offset the rising cost of steel and other commodities.

But Ford also got better prices for its vehicles because it of fered fewer discounts.

The decision was risky, because it cost Ford some market share in the U.S., Europe and South America.

But Mulally said Ford needs to remain disciplined about its pricing, and he expects the company to gain back its share before the end of the year, in part because of shortages at Japanese automakers due

to the March 11 earthquake.

“Clearly with this much disruption, the demand’s going to outpace supply,” Mulally said.

Ford posts best 1Q profit in 13 years on new cars

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford posted its best first-quarter profit in 13 years thanks to an improving economy and a lineup of fuel-efficient vehicles that reached showrooms as gasoline prices surged.

New arrivals like the Ford Explorer — which gets 20 percent better fuel economy than the old version — and the 40-mile-per -gallon Fiesta subcompact are selling well in the United States. Company profits are growing around the world. And Ford is charging more for its cars, helping offset the higher costs of steel and other materials.

The outlook for the rest of the year is also positive.

Ford can likely keep its prices high because of earthquake-related shortages at rivals such as Toyota. Consumer confidence is growing, so buyers are more willing to invest in a new car. Ford predicts U.S. sales will rebound from a 30-year low of 10.4 million in 2009 to about 13 million this year.

On Tuesday, Ford Motor Co. said net income rose 22 percent to $2.6 billion, its best first-quarter performance since 1998. It was the company’s eighth straight quarterly profit in its long climb back from near bankruptcy five years ago.

Ford’s revenues rose 18 percent to $33.1 billion.

The company saw especially strong growth in Asia, where revenues jumped 31 percent to $2.1 billion. In India, sales more than doubled thanks to the popular-

ity of the $8,000 Figo subcompact.

“Our team delivered a great quarter, with solid growth and improvements in all regions,” Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally said.

With a strong lineup of relatively new small and midsize cars, Ford is in a good position as rising gas prices push drivers into smaller vehicles. The average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. is now $3.87, up $1.03 from a year ago.

Ford’s newest small car, the redesigned Focus, can get up to 40 mpg on the highway.

Ford’s bigger vehicles are also more efficient. Ford’s F-Series pickup, the company’s best-selling vehicle, now has a more efficient V6 engine; around 37 percent of buyers chose that engine in March. Customers switching from a truck-based 2010 Explorer to the less expensive, carbased 2011 Explorer can save around $500 in gas each year, according to government fuel economy calculations. The revamped SUV is lighter and gets about 25 mpg on the highway.

Once, a shift to smaller vehicles would signal trouble for Ford, since it makes lower profits on them. But the profit gap between big and small is narrowing as buyers put more expensive options in compacts. One of the most popular options people are adding to the $16,695 Fiesta SEL is heated leather seats for $795.

expected to increase by $2 billion by year’s end. Sales of the Lincoln luxury brand are falling, and a planned revamp of the brand still two years away. Lincoln’s U.S. sales slipped 11 percent in the first quarter. By comparison, sales at rival Cadillac rose 38 percent.

j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Ford also has substantial debt, the result of its 2006 decision to take out a $23.5 billion restructuring loan.

But it’s making progress repaying that debt. Ford ended the quarter with $16.6 billion in debt, down $2.5 billion from the beginning of the year.

Home prices are falling in most major U.S. cities

Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Home prices are falling in most major U.S. cities, and at least 10 major markets are at their lowest point since the housing bubble burst.

The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city index showed home prices declined in 19 metro areas from January to February and 11 markets experienced faster price declines compared with the previous month.

The index, which was released Tuesday, fell for the seventh straight month. It is slightly above the level hit in April 2009, the lowest point since the bubble burst.

Analysts expect the March index will fall past the low point.

High unemployment, stricter lending rules and fears that prices will fall further are among the reasons why few people are buying and selling homes. A record number of foreclosures are forcing down home prices in most metro areas, and prices are expected to keep falling through this year.

“There is evidence that potential sellers are holding their properties off the market, waiting for housing prices to stop falling,” said Bricklin Dwyer, an analyst at BNP Paribas.

Detroit was the only market to show a monthly gain, although the Motor City is one of five cities where home prices are now below their January 2000 levels.

Prices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Phoenix, Portland, Ore., Seattle and Tampa are all at their lowest point since 2006 or 2007, at the height of the housing boom. The cities with the

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

steepest declines from January were Minneapolis, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami.

In many depressed markets, a significant percentage of buyers are investors and private equity firms looking to cash in on cheap real estate.

The housing sector is struggling even while much of the economy is recovering slowly but steadily. Some of the worst declines in home prices are in cities hit hardest by unemployment and foreclosures.

Foreclosures are expected to rise to 1.2 million this year as many banks revisit thousands of foreclosure cases, spurred into action by federal regulators who have ordered top-to-bottom reviews of how foreclosures were carried out over the past two years.

“It’s hard to sell when buyers have the leverage and foreclosures continue to create a gap between distressed sale prices and non-distressed sale prices,” said Jonathan Basile, an economist at Credit Suisse Securities. More than 90 percent of homeowners say it’s a bad time to sell their home, according to the Reuters/University of Michigan Survey of Consumers.

The Case-Shiller index measures sales of select homes in those cities compared to January 2000. For each of the 20 metro areas it studies, the index provides an updated three-month moving average price. By measuring the sales price of the same homes over time, the index attempts to gauge true market values.

Obama reissues call to end oil company tax breaks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid rising gasoline prices at the pump, President Barack Obama urged congressional leaders Tuesday to take steps to repeal oil industry tax breaks, reiterating a call he made in his 2012 budget proposal earlier this year.

The president wrote a letter to the bipartisan congressional leadership on Tuesday, a day after Republican House Speaker John Boehner said he was willing to “take a look at” repealing the multibillion-dollar tax subsidies enjoyed by the major oil companies.

Rising gas prices have become a political weight at the White

Latinos voted in record numbers

WASHINGTON (AP) — More Latinos than ever voted in the November 2010 election as a relatively young population reached the voting age, a fresh sign that the fastest growing U.S. minority stands as a formidable force in electoral politics.

A study by the Pew Hispanic Center found that 6.6 million Latinos, who mainly pick Democrats, voted in 2010, up from the 5.6 million who voted in the previous contests in 2006. As a share of the electorate, Latinos made up 6.9 percent of the 96 million voters in 2010, up from 5.8 percent of the 96.1 million voters four years earlier. The center released its report on Tuesday.

Among those record voters were 600,000 Latinos who turned 18 each year between 2006 and 2010 as well as 1.4 million foreignborn adult Latinos who became U.S. citizens and therefore eligible to vote, the center said.

“A lot of that growth is driven by U.S.-born young people who are coming of age and now (are) eligible to vote,” said Mark Lopez, Pew Hispanic Center associate director.

Republicans and Democrats are certain to factor the voting numbers in any political calculation as they look to the presidency in 2012, control of Congress and elections for decades to come. Strong Hispanic growth in the Southwest and West could make some states more fertile territory for Democrats.

According to exit polls, Hispanic voters are a solid Democratic constituency, breaking for President Barack Obama by 36 percentage points in 2008 and for the Democratic candidate in their congressional district by 22 points in the 2010 contests. Republican resistance to changes in immigration laws is a critical issue for Hispanics.

House, with polls showing that as the cost rises at the pump, the president’s approval ratings have slipped. Obama has increasingly sought to display action on oil, even as he concedes that there is no immediate answer to stem costs “High oil and gasoline prices are weighing on the minds and pocketbooks of every American family,” Obama wrote. But he also added that “there is no silver bullet to address rising gas prices in the short term.”

Obama’s proposal, spelled out in his budget plan, would eliminate a number of tax breaks for oil companies that would generate an

estimated $4 billion a year in additional revenue.

A Boehner spokesman, Brendan Buck, said Tuesday that Obama’s suggestions “would simply raise taxes and increase the price at the pump.” Buck said that Boehner’s willingness to examine a subsidy does not mean he is advocating its repeal.

He said Boehner “is only interested in reforms that actually lower energy costs and create American jobs.”

Obama’s letter was addressed to Boehner, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch

McConnell.

Blaming the subsidies on “outdated tax laws,” Obama said that money obtained from repealing the breaks should be spent on clean energy initiatives to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

On Monday, Boehner told ABC News that the government is low on revenues and that oil companies “ought to be paying their fair share.”

“We certainly ought to take a look at it,” Boehner said. “We’re at a time when the federal government’s short on revenues. We need to control spending but we need to have revenues to keep the government moving.”

Obama, in his letter, said he was “heartened” by Boehner’s remarks. “Our political system has for too long avoided and ignored this important step, and I hope we can come together in a bipartisan manner to get it done.”

White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed suggestions that Obama’s letter was motivated by the potential effect of rising gas prices on Obama’s political prospects.

“I don’t think when somebody sticks the credit card in the pump or pays a cashier the cash for a tank of gas that they’re thinking about an election in 2012,” he said.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS HAYNESWORTH CHARGED WITH SEXUAL ABUSE

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor sexual abuse for allegedly fondling the breast of his server in a hotel restaurant in Washington.

A grand jury returned an indictment formally charging Haynesworth over the alleged incident at a downtown Washington hotel in the early hours of Feb. 13.

If convicted, the 29-yearold two-time All-Pro faces up to six months days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

According to the U.S. attorney’s office, the government’s evidence shows Haynesworth slid a credit card down the front of the server’s dress and fondled her breast.

Telephone and e-mail messages left for Haynesworth’s agent, Chad Speck, were not immediately returned. At the time the server’s accusations became public, Speck said “there seems to be no truth to these allegations.” spokesman Redskins Tony Wyllie said the team referred all calls to Haynesworth and his agent.

Haynesworth also faces charges in Virginia for allegedly punching a man during a road-rage assault.

His trial is scheduled for May. At one point last summer, he was also involved in lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn’t paying for her health insurance or their children’s bills.

Roswell cruises past Goddard, 13-0 Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

With a pinch of “capitalizing on your opponent’s errors,” a dash of “your pitcher working from ahead” and just a soupçon of “clutch hitting,” you have a recipe for success in softball.

The Roswell Coyotes used exactly that recipe on Tuesday to upend crosstown rival Goddard in near gale-force winds at the Wool Bowl Softball Complex.

The Coyotes turned six hits, eight Rocket errors and a three-hitter from pitcher Kendra Chavez into a 13-0 win over the Rockets.

“In this kind of weather right here, I think we have to take the win like we did,” said Roswell coach Art Sandoval after the win. “Overall, right now, we’ll take that win, especially in this kind of weather.

“It’s a win over Goddard, but the way we look at it, it’s another ballgame. I know it’s big rivalry for us and stuff like that, but the way I see it, when you’re playing district play, you have to go get everyone you possibly can.”

Goddard’s errors and Kendra Chavez’s performance in the circle were the story on this night.

The Rockets committed at least one error in four of the seven innings, including a two-error fourth and a fourerror seventh.

After getting two runs in the first, Roswell built a 4-0 lead in the third despite not recording a hit. Tiffanie Bolaños scored on an RBI fielder’s choice from Kaylynn Ortiz after a lead-off walk and Marissa Torres scored after a throwing error allowed Jessica Wiggins to reach.

The Coyotes then duplicated the feat of scoring twice despite not recording a hit in the top of the fourth.

Tyler Armstrong walked, stole second, moved to third on an error and both her and Bolaños scored on an error by left fielder Rebecca Kuhn.

Roswell added two more in the sixth on Chavez’s inside-the-park two-run home run down the rightfield line. The final five Coy-

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

ARTESIA — Weather can do a lot of things.

It can ruin a vacation, or drown out a barbeque.

When it comes to tennis, wind can tur n a match into a battle for survival and that’s what happened during Roswell’s District 4-4A first-round matchup with Artesia.

Unfortunately for the Coyote boys, it was the Bulldogs who adjusted to the elements and came away with a 7-2 victory.

The Lady Bulldogs also won 7-2.

Roswell coach Kelly McDonald said that with the wind his team had to play more conservatively.

“I told them that you have to play more conservatively and you can’t go for as many winners,” he said. “The wind is going to incr ease the unfor ced Lawrence Foster Photo

errors for everyone. You just have to be more cautious and try to keep the double faults down. You try to make adjustments to make the win help, but it is just really dif ficult because it’s things you don’t really practice.”

The match started with all thr ee boys doubles teams playing and the most competitive match came at first doubles.

From the first stroke of the No. 1 doubles match between Roswell’s Geyer Thompson and Fr eddie Romer o, and Artesia’s Adam Solares and Roman Lopez, it was obvious that whoever adjusted to the wind would win the match.

Romer o held serve to start the first set, thanks to three winners at the net from Thompson, but the Bulldogs bounced back on Lopez’s serve, tying the set at one.

The Coyotes reclaimed the lead on the power of Thompson’s serve. During the third game, Thompson’s serve, coupled with the wind, proved to be too much for Lopez and Solares to handle as they had three errors on firstserve returns.

Roswell gained control of the set when they broke Solar es’ serve. In that game, the Bulldogs had two leads, but they were broken as Solares blasted forehands long, trying to win the point instead of playing with discipline.

Artesia was able to claw back within one game twice, but Roswell put the set away by once again breaking Solares’ serve and holding on to Romero’s.

During the final break of Solares’ serve in the first set, the wind was howling and led to three double faults by Solares. On one of his serves, he whiffed as the wind sent the ball flying away after his toss.

The second set was more competitive, as the Bulldogs were two points away from taking the set, up 5-4.

A winner by Romero and a blazing first serve by Thompson knotted the set at five and the Coyote tandem took the next two games to claim the victory for Roswell.

In singles play, Romero exacted a bit of revenge in

ote runs came in the top of the seventh thanks to just one hit and four Rocket errors.

“We’ve been trying to put the best nine on the field, but maybe I’m not doing a good job of putting the right people on the field,” said Goddard coach David Lawrence about the errors.

“We’re making too many mistakes against a good ballclub. Make those mistakes and you’re going to get beat.

“We’re doing it and we keep doing it. It’s been the story the whole season.”

The Rockets didn’t only have problems in the field, thanks in large part to Chavez.

The senior worked from ahead against all but four batters, allowed just three hits and struck out four.

All three of the hits came within the first four innings and, in the final three innings, she faced just one batter over the minimum. “(Goddard) is improving quite a bit, and that’s what

we as a coaching staff mentioned to her, that we have to stay aggressive early and try to get the first ball over the plate,” Sandoval said about Chavez’s performance. “We have to pitch strikes. We don’t want to walk anybody. We’ve got to stay aggressive and let the defense play.”

Lawrence tipped his cap to Chavez after the game.

“She did a good job. She doesn’t overpower people, but she hits good locations,” he said. “We finally got on her a little bit and started hitting some balls to the right side, but we ran ourselves out of one or two innings.

“We had a few hits and had some people in scoring position, but we couldn’t get it done.”

Danielle Hubbard took the loss for the Rockets. She gave up six hits and struck out eight in seven innings.

She also accounted for one of Goddard’s three hits with a single.

Mara Thorp (triple) and Rebekka Franco (single) had Goddard’s other two hits. kjkeller@roswell-record.com

Last year in the district tour nament, Solar es and Romer o played nearly a four hour marathon with Aar on Solar es coming out on top.

Ther e would be no dramatics on this day.

Romero dropped only two games during two sets and won 6-1, 6-1, as he played disciplined and controlled tennis, something that McDonald said was key with the wind.

“I was talking to (assistant coach James Vernon) about how Freddie is a very disciplined player,” he said. “When you play in conditions like this, if you are not disciplined, you are at a huge disadvantage. He did very well with these high winds and just took care of business. It was not even very close.”

son, McDonald said that the boys improved, but just didn’t have enough at the end.

“We did improve,” he said. “We started the season with a lot of players that didn’t have a lot of varsity experience. As the season went on, they lear ned how to play matches and win matches. They did much better, but we just didn’t have enough to get into state as a team.

“I really think we have a shot with some of the these guys as individuals to go to state next week.

So we are hoping to do it on Saturday.”

For the girls, Mary Romero won her singles match (first; 6-1, 6-1) and teamed with Maryah Shewcraft at first doubles for the Coyotes‘ other win (2-6, 6-3, 6-3).

McDonald said that the girls have a bright future.

“The girls wer e extremely inexperienced (coming into this season),” he said. “They work hard and they don’t

get down on themselves.

The future looks bright with the girls and the young talent that we have.”

The wind did one last thing at the match: It served as the proverbial winds of change, as the match with Artesia was the last team match for seniors Mary and Freddie Romero, something that wasn’t lost on McDonald.

“I can’t say enough about both of those kids,” he said. “I hope that my kids grow up to be half of the kids that those two are. They are the most amazing two students I have ever been invovled with and that is in the classroom and on the court. I don’t know what we are going to do without them.

“Players like that are once in a career. Like I said, I don’t know what we’ll do without them next year.”

21-17.

By the end of the first inning, however, a win seemed unlikely for Eunice as NMMI exploded for 11 runs in the bottom of the first.

Eunice took the lead in the top of the first with two runs, but NMMI quickly made that lead disappear.

Steele Blue started the home half of the first with a single and advanced to third after walks to Caleb Taylor and John Bohnhoff.

Blue scored on a single by Chance Cavin and another bases-loaded single

by Harshul Ganjawala tied the game at two.

The next three NMMI batters, Bryce Villaneuve, Angelo Santomenna and Joseph Stearns, all drove in a run by getting plunked with a pitch.

After a pop out, Blue was at the plate again and smacked an RBI single to center, giving NMMI a 6-2 lead.

Taylor grew the lead with a run-scoring single of his own and a triple by Bohnhoff cleared the bases and gave NMMI a 10-2 lead.

After the 11 run first, however, NMMI wouldn’t score again until the fifth and during that time, Eunice had taken a 16-11 lead.

The Colts got two runs back in the fifth and plated four in the sixth, but it wasn’t enough.

Bohnhoff led NMMI with five RBIs and three hits, while Blue scored four runs for the Colts.

Daniel Gallegos led Eunice with five RBIs.

Father’s memory lives on for NFL-bound Carmichael

WALDORF, Md. (AP) — It was July 5, 2008. A Saturday. Rashad Carmichael was at Virginia Tech when his father called, asking his son to come home immediately.

It was bit of a hassle. It was already late in the afternoon, and home was a four-hour drive away. What could possibly be going on?

“We sat right here,” said Carmichael, rapping his knuckles on the kitchen table.

“He told me was going to pass away.”

It didn’t make much sense. True, his father had suffered from some heart problems in the past, but nothing to indicate that he was seriously ill.

The next day, Bernard Carmichael checked into a hospital. A week later, he had a massive heart attack and died at the age of 40.

“How he was able to tell us that a week (early), I have no idea,” said Mae Carmichael, Rashad’s mother. “I have no clue.”

Said Rashad: “He said it came to him in a dream.”

Gone was the father who had worked so hard to raise his three sons the right way.

Who just retired with after 20 years in the Air Force. Who had moved his family into a nice house in a new development in the Washington, suburbs less than a month earlier.

Who coached Rashad in football, basketball, baseball and track. Who taught Rashad about discipline, respect and work ethic. Who made Rashad strap on an inner tube attached to a rope and run 100-yard sprints after everyone else was done at practice.

Tuesday, while the Lady Rockets finished as runners-up.

Goddard totaled a 314 team aggregate to finish three shots clear of runner-up Carlsbad. Clovis finished third, Hobbs was fourth and Roswell (337) was fifth. The NMMI Colts were seventh at 362.

The Goddard girls finished with a 371 and were 10 shots back of champion Clovis. Texico was third at 374 and Lovington was fourth at 393.

Joseph Healy led the Goddard boys with an even-par 72. Carlsbad’s Ben Kirkes won individual medalist honors with a 1-under 71.

Will Liakos led Roswell with a 78, which was good for a tie for third with Clovis’ Ethan Peterson.

Kristen Baker led the Goddard girls with an 87, good for a tie for third.

Emilee Engelhard finished eighth with a 90.

Clovis’ Michaela Hulder won the girls crown with an 82.

Boys tennis

NMMI 6, Lovington 3 LOVINGTON — NMMI r emained undefeated with a hard-fought win over Lovington on Tuesday.

NMMI got singles wins from Jose Gonzalez (first; 6-1, 6-4), Frederico Sanchez (second; 7-5, 6-3), Jorge Garza (third; 6-7, 6-1, 6-1) and Jerry Estrella (fourth; 6-2, 6-0).

Doubles wins came from Gonzalez and Sanchez (first; 6-4, 6-3) and Garza and Estrella (second; 6-3, 2-6, 6-1).

NMMI coach Jim Kelly said that some of the matches could have went either way.

“They have really nice courts and some of these matches could have went either way,” he said. “They have got a good team. I told (my team) that we needed to close out the season and

hopes of becoming the ninth team in NBA history to win a playoff series after trailing 3-1. If they can win Game 6 Thursday in Atlanta, they would host a decisive Game 7 on Saturday.

Magic center Dwight Howard battled foul trouble throughout the night and had just one field goal, finishing with eight points and eight rebounds.

Orlando didn’t need his of fense, though, as it broke out of a series-long shooting funk with 11 3pointers.

“We’re a good shooting team,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “This is more of us than what we showed in the first four games...This isn’t an aberration. We’ve been doing this for four years. The first four games were the aberration.”

Josh Smith scored 22 points to lead Atlanta, which shot below 40 percent for just the second time this series.

“People are looking at us like we’re crazy,” Rashad Carmichael said. “But it worked out so good — I’m fast.”

Fast indeed. Fast enough that the 22year-old cornerback is a projected third- or fourth-round pick in this week’s NFL draft.

Fast enough that he finished his degree in human development a year before his final season with the Hokies, fulfilling the family plan and allowing him to devote 40-hour weeks to a local Head Start program. Fast enough that words and stories just flow from his lips in such rapid succession that it can be hard to keep up with them all. If he flops in pro football — which is not likely — he’ll be a natural making his living standing in front of kids. Or leading a charitable foundation known by the name he’s already picked out: “Bless All People.”

“I actually am too focused,” Rashad Carmichael said, when asked his biggest flaw. “That’s it. Never been in no trouble.”

He shows off a newspaper clipping of Bernard Carmichael coaching an Andrews Air Force Base fifth- and sixth-grade Boys Club basketball team, wearing fatigues and military boots on the bench, even though his father “didn’t know anything about basketball.”

“He didn’t have to hit me,” Rashad Carmichael said. “He didn’t have to do nothing — because of the respect that we had for him.”

Mae Carmichael concurs that she’s raised a trouble-free son. And she should know. Their rapport is such that mother and son speak on the phone a half-dozen times a day when he’s at college.

“As soon as I wake up, I call Mom,” he said.

Rashad Carmichael’s nickname is “Roc.” It’s often misspelled as “Rock,” but he said he’s been spelling it without the “k” since kindergarten. (He said he wasn’t aware that a roc is actually a large, mythical bird.) The name was given to him by his grandmother after his father wanted to put an end to Rashad’s baby nickname of “Rah-Rah.” Carmichael has had his share of visits with NFL teams and has received even more phone calls. During an interview with The Associated Press, he received a call from the New York Giants, who asked for the standard information any team would want to have on draft day: cell phone number, backup cellphone number, email address, agent’s name and address, nearest airport.

Given Carmichael’s background and his ability to make a strong, personable first impression, his draft stock should jump a few points for those NFL general managers who often like to boast how they emphasize character as much as talent.

But Carmichael also has another thing going for him — his love of the film room.

He tells the story of a visit from former Virginia Tech cornerback Brandon Flowers, now with the Kansas City Chiefs. Flowers so impressed upon Carmichael the importance of film study that Carmichael cut off his cable service the next day — he loves old comedy movies — and ordered scores of DVDs of cornerback game film.

The family is hosting a small gathering for the draft, but Carmichael said he doesn’t plan on watching while it’s on television. He said he’ll let his mother answer the phone when a team calls. And, besides, there’s the never-ending presence of Bernard Carmichael — and it’s not just symbolized by the three-corner-folded American flag that draped the coffin.

discuss them.

Most Google employees, though, use the shops for personal purposes. The ideas percolating in the workshops are so unpredictable that employees are encouraged to drop of f scrap metal or other detritus just in case the junk might suit someone’s project. During the AP’s recent visit, a couple of old wheel axles and the rusted tailgate from a truck were sitting in the welding shop.

“You never know what you are going to find in here,” Butterfield said.

Google isn’t the only place in Silicon Valley where computer -coding engineers can show of f their industrial might. A venture called TechShops sells memberships starting at about $100 per month to use heavy machinery for wood, metal, plastics and textiles. Besides the San Francisco Bay area, TechShops operates in Raleigh, N.C. Google’s workshops are free to all employees, like virtually all the company’s perquisites. But the workshops are much more exclusive than Google’s other benefits.

All employees must be certified to run the machinery before they are issued a badge to enter. The screening usually falls to Rodney Broome, 63, a veteran machinist who teaches the craft at nearby San Jose City College when he isn’t busy as the foreman of Google’s workshops.

Google replants its garage roots in tech workshops

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.

(AP) — Amid all the free food and other goodies that come with a job at Google Inc., there’s one benefit a lot of employees don’t even know about: a cluster of high-tech workshops that have become a tinkerer’s paradise.

Workers escape from their computer screens and office chairs to weld, drill and saw on expensive machinery they won’t find at Home Depot.

Besides building contraptions with a clear business purpose, Google employees

use the shops for fun: They create elaborate holiday decorations, build cabinets for their homes and sometimes dream big like the engineers working on a pedal-powered airplane with a 100-foot wingspan.

The “Google Workshops” are the handiwork of Larry Page, who co-founded Google with Sergey Brin in a rented garage. Page authorized the workshops’ opening in 2007 to try to reconnect the company with its roots.

Google, which has kept the workshops under

wraps until Tuesday, gave The Associated Press an exclusive tour shortly after Page reclaimed his original job as CEO on April 4.

The workshops of fer a peek into ways Page may try to make the Internet giant work with the verve and creativity of a garagebound entrepreneur. Page believes the 13-year -old company needs to return to thinking and acting like a feisty startup as it faces competition from younger Inter net stars such as Facebook, Twitter and Groupon.

“There is a feeling here at Google that all good things start in a garage,” said Greg Butterfield, an engineering lab manager who oversees the workshops.

“Larry wanted to create the same kind of environment he and Sergey had when they started Google — a sort of a playground or sandbox for pursuing their ideas.”

Originally known as the “Pi” Shop, the geeky getaway is open only to a privileged few among Google’s 26,300 employees. To gain entry, workers must pass a

test that includes such questions as “When you are using a band saw, what speed would you use to cut through aluminum?”

There are four separate rooms — for metal, wood, welding and electronics — tucked into an isolated corner of Google’s 4.3-millionsquare-foot headquarters in Mountain View.

Besides heavy-duty equipment, such as an oscilloscope, plasma cutter and miter saw, there are some children’s toys. One piece of gadgetry currently under construction in the shops partially consists of Legos — the same material that Page once used to build an inkjet printer, years before creating Google.

DEAR ABBY: I recently had a conversation with my married sister that left me speechless. While making plans to visit me for a few days, she asked if I could “hook her up” with any guys. I was shocked. Not only was it awkward, it left me feeling disgusted.

If a person is unhappy in his or her marriage, shouldn’t the marriage be ended BEFORE looking for someone else? (By the way, my brother -in-law thinks they have a great marriage.)

A few days later, my sister informed me that her “boyfriend” had broken things off with her. I am dumbfounded! My sister will be coming to spend some time with me soon, and I’m sure this subject is bound to come up again. How do I handle a situation I find so offensive?

DUMBSTRUCK DOWN SOUTH DEAR DUMBSTRUCK: Handle it by telling your sister exactly what you have written to me. That should get the message across succinctly.

Dear Readers: What’s not to love about BANANAS? A single? A bunch? In a smoothie, or in bread? How often do you buy bananas? Once a week?

Bananas that are extremely ripe (freckled) are sweeter than bananas that have slightly green peels, so pick accordingly.

Storing bananas on a banana hanger/hook keeps them from getting bruises.

Green bananas can be ripened by placing them in a

especially difficult. She doesn’t get along with anyone.

Annie steals constantly. This has been going on since she could walk. She steals jewelry, makeup, toys, books and money. The only way to get these things back is by searching her room. Our relatives say she’ll grow out of this, but it happens every day. She destroys and breaks the things she steals — including projects and homework.

My parents have tried everything — taking her things, grounding her, taking away privileges — yet Annie doesn’t stop. She lies and becomes frantic, and I’m worried something is wrong. None of us have ever behaved like her. What should we do?

Please show this to your parents.

DEAR ABBY: I recently agreed to support my neighbor as she participated in a charity walk for breast cancer. Through a mutual friend I found out that my neighbor rode a free bus for a portion of the 13.1-mile walk.

She has since tried to collect the “donation.” I have politely declined to pay, due to the circumstances. I feel I am justified since the donation was predicated on her completion of the walk. What do you think?

STICKLER IN COLORADO DEAR STICKLER: Is it possible that your neighbor rode the bus a portion of the way because she was unable to make it through the 13.1-mile walk? For heaven’s sake, it’s not as if she would be pocketing the money. Give her the donation in the form of a check made out to the charity.

It’s for a worthy cause — and tax-deductible.

Once the bananas are as ripe as you’d like, you can place them in the fridge for up to two weeks. The skin will darken, but the inside will be firm and tasty. Also, peel them, place in a plastic freezer bag or container, and use later for breads, muffins, other baked goods and yummy smoothies.

What’s your favorite way to buy, store and use bananas that are too ripe?

Send your favorite hints, and we will send a Heloise pamphlet to everyone whose hint is selected. Send your banana hints to: Heloise/Bananas, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000.

Heloise

Dear Heloise: For several years, I would buy fresh peanut butter from the health-food store, straight from the grinding machine.

I decided to make my own. I bought a can of nuts and put it in my food processor. I added a little olive oil and refrigerated it. I also can use any other type of nut. It’s delicious, free of preservatives and sugar, and easy to do. — Terry in Maui, Hawaii Aloha to my friends in Hawaii, my “second” home state!

Heloise

Dear Heloise: The letter regarding using cupcakes to spell out a child’s birthday greeting mentioned the mess cupcake icing can make. All the children who have passed through my classroom through the years were taught how to make a “cupcake sandwich.” You just peel off the wrapper, hold the rim of the cupcake crown and give the bottom a firm twist or wiggle. It will pop right off, and then you put that piece of cake over the icing to form a sandwich. Much easier to hold than a regular cupcake, and no more icing all over your nose!

Imagine what it would have been like to be the first person to test brandnew airplane equipment when airplanes themselves were new. Can you picture being the first to plot a course across the sea, or even to prove that such a journey could be flown at all?

To get an idea of what it was like for these brave explorers, The Mini Page talked with a curator, or person in charge, of the new Pioneers of Flight exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

A slow start for flying

Planes go to war

Flying takes off

Manufacturers organized exhibitions to show people that they had solved the problems of flight. But most people didn’t really value planes until World War I. In that war, pilots could spot where the enemy was, where supply lines were, what the land was like, etc. Soon, enemy pilots began fighting while flying, shooting from one airplane to another.

Pilots learned fighter moves, such as maneuvering around another plane and doing loops and rolls.

After the war, aircraft were still not efficient enough to carry many passengers. Pilots did many jobs, such as taking aerial photos, crop dusting, or spraying fields with pesticides, and performing exhibitions.

But then pilots began getting government contracts to deliver air mail. These contracts gave pilots a way to make a living even if there were few passengers at first.

A World Hero Explorers and heroes

Sharing the love of flying

The brand-new airline industry needed brave pilots to go where no one had gone before. Smart, courageous people needed to test the equipment and figure out the routes.

Flying into unknown territory with untested equipment was dangerous.

The men and women who broke the records and explored the air routes were the superstars of the day.

&LYING PROMOTERS SENT ,INDBERGH ON goodwill tours in the United States and Central America. These trips were a huge awakening for the crowds. Most people had never seen an airplane before. ,INDBERGH MADE SURE HE TOOK OFF and arrived when he said he would.

Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully flew the first powered, controlled, piloted flight in 1903. But people didn’t throw parades or rush to see people fly. They didn’t believe flying was anything practical.

It wasn’t until 1908, when the Wright brothers flew in trials for the military, that people started to believe. Also that year, there was a big air show in France. Wilbur proved he could control the plane, flying in circles and figure eights. At last, people were excited about flight.

After World War I, people were in love with the idea of flying. Air races attracted crowds of hundreds of thousands. Cleveland’s National Air Races were 10-day events held from 1929 to 1949.

In the Thompson Trophy Race, pilots raced around a 10-mile route, much like car races today, only in the air.

In the Bendix Trophy Race, pilots raced across the country. The Powder Puff Derby was a cross-country race for female pilots.

Flying superhero #HARLES ,INDBERGH WAS THE FIRST AND MOST FAMOUS PILOT HERO (E WAS the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean by himself.

Before that, he had several flying JOBS (E barnstormed, or flew from town to town, giving demonstrations OF FLYING (E WAS IN THE !RMY !IR Service and was an airmail pilot.

On May 20, 1927, he took off from New York. After flying for 331 2 HOURS HE LANDED SAFELY IN 0ARIS (E became an overnight celebrity.

Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh explored new routes to Asia and Europe.

Anne was pregnant during their 1930 flight across America, which was difficult for her.

Meeting Anne When he was touring Mexico, he met his future wife, Anne Morrow.

She was the daughter of the American ambassador to Mexico. ,INDBERGH TOOK !NNE HER MOTHER and sisters for rides in the plane. ,ATER HE TAUGHT !NNE TO FLY After they married, Anne flew with Charles on his trips for Pan American Airways to scout out airplane routes.

We are still using the routes they figured out and tested. from The Mini Page Š 2011 Universal Uclick

Braving the Dangerous Skies The Lindberghs flew this Lockheed Sirius to Asia. An Inuit boy named it “Tingmissartoq,� which means “one who flies like a bird.�

Into the unknown 4HE ,INDBERGHS PIONEERING Asian trip took them to Canada, across to !LASKA THEN TO 2USSIA *APAN AND #HINA 4HEIR %UROPEAN TRIP TOOK THEM ACROSS 'REENLAND AND THROUGHOUT %UROPE Charles was the main pilot, while Anne operated the Morse Code radio.

The radio allowed them to find out weather conditions and to let people know where they were.

They were the first to fly to these distant places, so there were no airstrips. They flew a pontoon plane, or one with landing gear designed like the bottom of a boat.

Fuel and supplies were brought to their expected landing sites ahead of time. But sometimes they had to spend the night in their plane and eat canned food they’d brought along.

The Lindberghs packed these snowshoes and other coldweather gear in case they had to make an emergency landing.

Amelia Earhart

Forging the way

!MELIA %ARHART WAS THE NEXT BIG star. She was the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. She achieved this milestone almost exactly FIVE YEARS AFTER ,INDBERGH MADE HIS own record-setting Atlantic journey.

She worked to promote flying and also to make it possible for women to have aviation careers.

Bessie Coleman was the first African-American to receive a pilot’s license, in 1921. There had been other black pilots before her, but they didn’t have licenses. When flying first became popular, no license was needed.

Because she was black and a woman, she couldn’t find anybody in America to teach her to fly. She had to go to France to learn.

She dreamed of setting up a flight school for African-Americans.

Unfortunately, she died in a plane crash while performing public flying exhibitions.

Amelia Earhart broke several flying records and was a huge star. She developed her own clothing line and modeled the clothes herself.

She also developed a set of luggage.

In 1937, she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while trying to fly around the world. To this day, no one knows what happened. photo courtesy the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Archives

Bessie Coleman was known as “Brave Bessie� or “Queen Bess.�

She used her star power to fight prejudice.

‘The Voice’ adds a gimmick to reality talent shows Roswell Daily Record

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Voice,” TV’s newest singing contest, is intent on making noise in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

The NBC series, which debuts 9 p.m. EDT Tuesday with a twohour taped episode that will be repeated at 9 p.m. EDT Wednesday, offers a distinctive gimmick: Contestants are initially heard but not seen by a panel of pop stars.

It’s when Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton spin around in their thronelike chairs that they glimpse the singer they backed or passed on. The pros themselves compete to assemble a team of would-be pop stars, with the goal of guiding one toward a record contract and a $100,000 prize.

No need to alert the Society for the Protection of Pretty People: The deck is stacked with some

talented lookers.

Viewers may need to take a breath as they encounter unfamiliar terrain: The judges aren’t judges. They’re “coaches” who also serve as hands-on mentors; each coach has to dump half of his or her team before the audience steps in to vote, starting in June; NBC late-night host Carson Daly is in charge.

And, some may say mercifully, “The Voice” skips an “American Idol”-style extended audition process. The NBC series jumps into action with singers either recommended by industry insiders or otherwise scouted in nationwide performance spaces. That’s not to say surprise is lacking, as proved by a lively New Jersey homemaker and a Florida belter in the first episode.

There’s a handful of familiar faces, including former “American Idol” contestant Frenchie Davis,

who has already appeared on Broadway in “Rent” but says she still yearns for a recording career.

The big twist comes when contestants get to turn the table on the panel. If more than one pro wants them on their team, it’s up to the contestant to accept or reject the likes of Maroon 5’s Levine or country star Shelton.

The device would be even more engaging if the contestants didn’t seem to be drilled in the reality TV art of theatrically dragging out decisions. Word of advice: Leave the drama to a future series for aspiring Oscar or Tony winners.

More entertaining is the panel and its interplay. Shelton turns out to be a natural comic, Levine an avid competitor and Green a charmer. Aguilera, whose recent stumbles include a mangled version of the national anthem, settles comfortably into the role of queen bee, sparring nicely with

Review: ‘Cave’ both awesome and immediate CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC

He’s 68 years old and narrates his documentaries in an unmistakably raspy whisper, his heavy Ger man accent adding an air of mystery to everything he’s describing.

And yet Wer ner Herzog has such obvious enthusiasm for the discoveries he depicts in “Cave of Forgotten Dreams,” it’s as if you’re listening to a giddy little kid who learned the coolest thing at school today and can’t wait to tell you all about it.

That’s just one of the many fascinating contradictions that mark the latest film from Herzog, who previously brought us tales of bears (“Grizzly Man”) and penguins (“Encounters at the End of the World”). Here, he prowls around a French cave containing spectacular prehistoric artwork that was closed off to the outside world over 20,000 years ago because of a rock face collapse. Once scientists found the Chauvet Cave in 1994 and began investigating inside, they came across vivid and pristine images of horses, bears, rhinos and other creatures that they estimate are over 30,000 years old — almost twice as old as previous finds.

The drawings were so crisp and clean, the researchers doubted their authenticity at first. Now they’re calling this one of the most important cultural finds ever — and not only did Herzog gain unprecedented access, he shot it all in 3-D. Now, we’re not always a fan of the technology around here, but not only is the 3-D NOT gimmicky, it actually enhances the viewing experience — makes these images seem more tactile and immediate. “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” immerses us in a space that’s at once enormous and darkly cramped,

full of shimmering crystal formations and scattered cave bear skulls.

The 3-D heightens not just the sense of texture but of movement; because the paintings were often rendered on curved surfaces, with overlapping animal legs to suggest galloping, the lighting and camerawork make them appear to be in motion — or as Herzog himself phrases it, it’s “almost a form of proto cinema.” It’s awesome and it makes you feel incredibly small and insignificant by comparison, and yet Herzog also conveys a sense of humanity, which makes it impossible not to feel connected to these people from many thousands of years ago.

One great detail the scientists share: They could tell that the same man, who was about 6 feet tall, drew throughout the cave because he left his red hand print all over, which revealed the same crooked finger over and over again.

Herzog didn’t have much time or space to capture all this, and he had to work with a stripped-down camera crew that was forced to remain on narrow, metal catwalks to ensure the sanctity of the cave. And yet the finished product, with its shadows and its string-heavy score, creates a feeling not just of wonder but also of danger and even a bit of fear.

“Cave of Forgotten Dreams” does grow a bit repetitive though, and probably could have been more effective if it had been a half-hour shorter. Once you’ve marveled at all the artwork and appreciated its significance, it’s like: OK, we get it. But then, Herzog ends the film with still more weird and wondrous imagery — which, hopefully, will be the inspiration for his next documentary.

“Cave of Forgotten Dreams,” an IFC Films release, is rated G. Running time: 90 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Review: ‘Fast Five’ revs up fun DAVID GERMAIN AP MOVIE WRITER

If the “Fast Five” filmmakers had thrown in giant, shape-shifting robots, talking apes and some vampires, the fifth installment in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise would hardly have been more outlandish.

That said, the movie will get you where you’re going.

Pretty cars, prettier women, insanely absurd action that truly thrills even as it shatters all physical laws, and enough testosterone-fueled violence to satisfy the mostrabid WWE SmackDown crowd.

Opting for a blowout of a movie with no restraints whatsoever, the filmmakers wisely add former wrestling superstar Dwayne Johnson as a relentless federal agent to go toe-to-toe with Vin Diesel’s driving ace Dom Toretto, who’s again on the run along with his sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster), and cop-turned-outlaw Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker).

Any thwack from the inevitable Diesel-Johnson slug-fest might kill an ordinary human, but these characters basically are comic-book figures, so they’re able to wail the innards out of each other and come through with only a cosmetic bruise or two.

Directing his third chapter in the franchise, Justin Lin applies that over-thetop-and-then-some approach to everything in “Fast Five.” If it can move, it

can move faster. If it can crash, it can crash harder. If it can roar, it can roar louder.

It’s nonsense, but when Hollywood does nonsense right, it can be a lot of fun.

Lin now is far more assured as an action director, crafting stunts and chases that zip along so recklessly you won’t much care how utterly impossible they are.

Likewise, Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan, who wrote the last two “Fast and Furious” flicks, step up the silliness of the dialogue and the characters’ mannerisms to let the audience in on the joke that no one is supposed to take any of this seriously.

People strut and pronounce in such farcical fashion that it goes beyond stupid and somehow becomes, if not clever, at least crafty.

The filmmakers do actually achieve cleverness with a surprise or two. You’ll want to stay through a portion of the end-credits to catch one of them, a jolting tease for the franchise’s preordained sixth installment after “Fast Five” hauls in its fortune.

In the current story, Dom is hunting his own fortune after Brian and Mia break him out of custody in a dementedly excessive prison-bus escape. Hiding out in Rio de Janeiro, the three join a daring car heist that puts them at odds with local crime boss Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) and sets super agent Hobbs (Johnson) on their trail.

So Dom decides to get the

band back together, enlisting an “Ocean’s Eleven”style ensemble of past “Fast and the Furious” rowdies to part Reyes from his millions.

Returning as part of the team are Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar.

Elsa Pataky joins the cast as possibly Brazil’s lone honest police officer, a woman tapped by Hobbs to help him chase down Toretto’s gang.

But words like honest don’t mean much in the “Fast Five” world, where good guys are bad, bad guys are good, and only the really, really bad guys get what they’ve got coming.

There’s no moral compass here (and apparently no clock, either; the movie runs much too long, and despite the breathless pace, the trip does start to wear on you).

The only compass is the one pointing down the road straight ahead, down which “The Fast and the Furious” flicks will keep moving faster and faster. Maybe the filmmakers can do a little “Alice in Wonderland” rhyming and call the next one “Furiouser and Furiouser.”

“Fast Five,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, sexual content and language.

Running time: 130 minutes.

Two and a half stars out of four.

her male cohorts.

Executive producer Mark Burnett said it was a meal, on him, that fostered the group’s camaraderie.

“My best move as a producer was saying to the coaches, ‘Here’s my credit card, go out to dinner, the four of you.’ It allowed them to know each other. In the end, it’s chemistry that counts. If they’re having fun, the audience has fun.”

But is there patience for yet another talent show? After “American Idol” folds its tent for the season in May, NBC’s own summer series “America’s Got Talent” starts up, and then Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor,” based on his U.K. hit, debuts this fall on Fox. There’s also Bravo’s new songwriting contest, “Platinum Hit,” starting in May, and genre-oriented iterations such as CMT’s “Next Superstar.”

NBC has heavily promoted “The Voice” and is also seeking an edge by ramping up the role of the Internet and social networks, employing a “social media correspondent” to entice viewers to engage with the show.

Burnett, whose hits include “Survivor” and “The Apprentice,” brushes aside the issue of market saturation.

“At this point, for Americans, “X Factor” is just a name. No one has seen it,” he said. Besides, he said, there’s proof of the public’s insatiable appetite for watching people strive on-camera for glory.

In Holland, home of the original “The Voice,” the show became “huge” despite existing franchises “Holland’s Got Talent” and “The X Factor.”

That’s in a country “the size of Rhode Island,” Burnett said, adding cautiously, “Who knows what will happen here.”
