Jury convicts Blagojevich at retrial

Vol. 120, No. 154 50¢ Daily / $1 Sunday

CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich, who won two terms as Illinois governor before scandal made him a national punch line, was convicted Monday of a wide range of corruption charges, including trying to sell President Barack Obama’s Senate seat.

The verdict, coming after his first trial ended last year with the jury deadlocked on most charges, was a bitter defeat for Blagojevich, who spent 2 1/2 years professing his innocence on reality TV shows and later on the witness stand. His defense

team insisted that hours of FBI wiretap recordings were just the ramblings of a politician who liked to think out loud.

Blagojevich becomes the second straight Illinois governor convicted of corruption. His predecessor, George Ryan, is now serving 6 1/2 years in federal prison.

When sentenced later this year, Blagojevich is virtually certain to get a significant prison term that experts said could be 10 to 15 years.

After hearing the verdict, Blagojevich tur ned to

defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky and asked “What happened?” His wife, Patti, slumped against her brother, then rushed into her husband’s arms.

Before the decision was read, the couple looked flushed, and the for mer governor blew his wife a kiss across the courtroom, then stood expressionless, with his hands clasped tightly.

The verdict capped a long-running spectacle in which Blagojevich became famous for blurting on a recorded phone call that his ability to appoint

Obama’s successor to the Senate was “f—-ing golden” and that he wouldn’t let it go “for f—-ing nothing.”

The 54-year-old Democrat, who has been free on bond since shortly after his arrest, spoke only briefly with reporters as he left the courthouse, saying he was disappointed and stunned by the verdict.

“Well, among the many lessons I’ve learned from this whole experience is to try to speak a little bit less, so I’m going to keep my remarks kind of short,” See RETRIAL, Page A7

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — Thousands of residents calmly fled Monday from the mesa-top town that’s home to the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory, ahead of an approaching wildfire that sent up towering plumes of smoke, rained down ash and sparked a spot fire on lab property where scientists 50 years ago conducted underground tests of radioactive explosives.

officials said that the spot fire was soon contained and no contamination was released. They also assured that radioactive materials stored in various spots elsewhere on the sprawling lab were safe from flames.

The wildfire, which began Sunday, had destroyed 30 structures south and west of Los Alamos by early Monday and forced the closure of the lab while stirring memories of

a devastating blaze in May 2000 that destroyed hundreds of homes and buildings.

“The hair on the back of your neck goes up,” Los Alamos County fire chief Doug Tucker said of first seeing the fire in the Santa Fe National Forest on Sunday. “I saw that plume and I thought, ‘Oh my

Albuquerque man Roswell man charged with shot 4 times by APD criminal sexual penetration

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — An Albuquerque man who charged at police with a bayonet and kept coming toward them even after officers shocked him with a Taser was shot four times by police — the 19th person shot by the city’s police in the past 18 months, authorities said Monday.

RPD arrests ex-Refuge employee for stealing patients’ pills JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Bernadette Tucker, 32, was arrested for dangerous drugs, conditions for sale, prescription refilling, and embezzlement under $250, on Thursday.

Members of the Chaves County Metro Narcotics Task Force have been investigating Tucker, a former Roswell Refuge employee, since January when a one-time resident at the Refuge reported that Tucker had been stealing narcotics. The Roswell Refuge is a safehouse for victims of domestic violence.

The victim said that on Jan. 9 she was prescribed

Vicodin, a schedule III narcotic, by an emergency room doctor. Tucker picked up the medication from the pharmacy and logged it in at the Refuge.

In the criminal complaint, the victim stated that later she wondered why the medication was not working. Eventually, she called Walgreens, described the pills she was being given and lear ned that these were over -thecounter pain killers.

The victim asked an advocate to call Tucker to ask about the medication, but Tucker did not answer the phone. When the victim asked Refuge Director Doug Southern about the drugs, Southern told the victim that she had not

been given prescription medication on Jan. 9, because Tucker had reported that the victim had been drinking.

The complaint said she had been taking Vicodin for Lupus and began suffering withdrawal symptoms and an increase in pain. She said that twice since she entered the Refuge, her pills had ended up short.

The criminal complaint further stated that the victim reported that at least two, possibly three Refuge residents, believed their pills had been stolen.

The first victim said she thought at least 75 of her prescription Vicodin pills had been taken by Tucker.

Officers contacted a second victim who said five or

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky praised the decision.

“The Supreme Court ruled that a state cannot use taxpayer funds to punish a successful political campaign,” McConnell said.

William Maurer, an attorney with the Institute for Justice representing the challengers, said the court reaffirmed its opposition to campaign spending laws that seek to level the playing field.

But Justice Elena Kagan said in dissent that the law was a reasonable response to political scandal. Reading a dissent aloud for the first time since joining the court last year, Kagan said that by providing candidates with additional money, the law actually provided for more, not less, political speech.

Arizonans “passed a law designed to sever political candidates’ dependence on large contributors,” Kagan said. “It put into effect a public financing system that attracted large numbers of candidates at a sustainable cost to the state’s taxpayers.”

Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor signed onto Kagan’s dissent.

On the federal level, candidates willing to abide by various spending limits receive public campaign money financed by the $3 that individual Americans can opt to check of f on their tax returns.

This case follows other recent rulings striking down campaign finance laws. Among those were last year’s Citizens United decision that removed most limits on election spending by corporations and organized labor, and a 2008 decision that voided the federal “millionaire’s amendment” to increase contribution limits for congressional candidates facing wealthy opponents.

Roberts said the outcome in the Arizona case largely followed from the decision voiding the “millionaire’s amendment.”

A federal judge in Arizona

also cited the Supreme Court decision in ruling against the Arizona Clean Elections program, but the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco found that the matching funds did not violate the First Amendment.

The chief justice — joined

by Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas — said nothing in the court’s decision should be read as an attack on public financing generally.

Groups in favor of laws like Arizona’s criticized the outcome, but took some solace from Roberts’ rhetoric on public financing.

“After the court’s ruling today, one key fact is clear.

Public financing remains constitutionally strong,” said Michael Waldman, executive director of New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice. The center represented Arizona’s Clean Elections Institute at the high court.

T revor Potter, for mer chair man of the Federal Election Commission and adviser to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaigns, said the trigger allowed Arizona to dole out money only if private money pumped into a race exceeded certain thresholds.

“At a time when every state and locality is facing budgetary pressures, the trigger was a more parsimonious approach,” Potter said.

Waldman said the decision would not threaten other types of public financing, including New York City’s system of giving candidates extra money for bringing in small donations.

But Richard Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California at Irvine law school, said the New York program could be in legal jeopardy if the impetus for it was a desire to level the playing field, which the court has said is an impermissible basis.

The case is Arizona Free Enterprise Club v. Bennett, 10-238.

six people had Schedule III narcotics missing from the locked medication room.

This individual reported that some of the incidences had been recorded on video, including one that occurred on Dec. 31.

The resident reported the incident to Souther n around Jan. 12. She said it took two days to locate the tape. He viewed it, and Tucker was terminated that same day.

In the subsequent interviews with the police, the victims described a system of bribery and abuse used to gain their silence.

According to the criminal complaint, Tucker would buy gifts for residents who suspected she had taken pills, asked them to lie to

their doctors if there had been a short-fall or refused to let them leave the Refuge.

In one instance after a resident — who had been under long-term treatment for pain — reported symptoms of withdrawal, Tucker gathered all the residents together and ridiculed her in front of the others.

It was alleged that Tucker searched a resident’s room, confiscating some pills, and subsequently never filed the appropriate forms to New Mexico Children, Youth and Family Department or turned in the drugs.

In the complaint, when Tucker was interviewed by the Task Force, she defended herself, saying the oth-

Bernadette Tucker

ers were lying or had turned against her.

Souther n said that he could not comment about any Refuge employee except regarding dates of employment. He confirmed that Tucker had been terminated on Jan. 14.

Supreme Court limits state rules on No beer for you, Allsup’s employee campaign spending in 5-4 ruling Embezzlement New law could affect political races in N.M.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court imposed new limits Monday on states trying to restrain the influence of money in politics, striking down a law that tied the amount of public funds a candidate receives to how much privately funded rivals spend.

The 5-4 ruling was the latest in a series of decisions by the court’s conservative majority upending campaign finance laws. But the court did not attack the validity of using public funds for campaign financing, giving a glimmer of hope to advocates of restrictions on spending in political campaigns.

Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority opinion dwelled on the socalled trigger mechanism in an Arizona law that provided differing levels of money to publicly funded candidates based on the spending by privately funded rivals and independent groups.

The law was passed after a public corruption scandal and was intended to reward candidates who forgo raising their own campaign cash, even in the face of heavy spending by opponents with private money.

Those who challenged the Arizona law said it caused them to rein in spending to prevent their political opponents from getting a fresh infusion of state money.

The court said the trigger violates the First Amendment, but left in place the rest of Arizona’s public financing system.

“Laws like Arizona’s matching funds provision that inhibit robust and wide-open political debate without sufficient justification cannot stand,” Roberts said.

At least four other states, Maine, New Mexico, North Carolina and Wisconsin, have similar “trigger” provisions that affect some political races, and could be vulnerable.

Supreme Court ruling means Court orders arrest of Gadhafi, ‘business as usual’ for gamers son and key aide

Roswell Daily Record

Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, holds up three video games after a news conference in San Francisco, Monday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The game seems to be over for those seeking to ban the sale or rental of violent video games to children after the Supreme Court ruled Monday that the government doesn’t have the authority to “restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.”

While gamemakers celebrated the high court’s decision, the ruling is hardly inspiring more acts of virtual brutality.

“It’s business as usual,” said George Rose, chief public policy officer at Activision Blizzard Inc., the Santa Monica, Calif.-based publisher of the “Call of Duty” franchise.

“We’re not in the business of making more and more terribly violent games. The number of mature-rated games has actually decreased. The landscape is changing for the industry.”

California’s 2005 law struck down by the high court Monday would have prohibited anyone under the

age of 18 from buying or renting games that give players the option of “killing, maiming, dismembering, or sexually assaulting an image of a human being.” Retailers who sold those games directly to minors would have faced fines of up to $1,000 for each game.

When it comes to violent games, virtually all game publishers and retailers follow the guidelines of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. The voluntary rating system is similar to the one used by movie studios and theaters, assigning one of eight ratings, then blocking the sale of games that are rated M for “mature” and AO for “adults only” to children.

“After today, I expect now you’re going to see more growth, more creation and more promotion of the ESRB,” said Michael D. Gallagher, president of the Entertainment Software Association, which represents the industry. “The decision today

didn’t create any new rights for the industry. It simply affirmed the rights that we believed we had all along.”

In recent years, such kid-friendly games as the hip-shaking choreography simulator “Just Dance 2” have competed atop the sales charts against realistic military shoot-’emups like “Call of Duty: Black Ops.” Last month, four M-rated games were among the top 10 top-selling titles, according to NPD Group, which tracks the sales of games at retailers.

“I don’t think this ruling will change how people make games,” said Simon Carless, publisher of Game Developer magazine. “There are obviously many games about war, but there are plenty of other games about puzzles. I think games will continue to diversify. I think even the concept of video games that are all about violence is quite outdated now.”

The court’s ruling in favor of the gaming industry is an affirmation for gamemakers that their interactive medium is a form of protected speech on par with books and movies. Opponents don’t believe Monday’s decision will give way to more violent games but affirm that there will be no protection for such games getting into the hands of children.

“Adults are the main driving force on what kind of content is produced,” said Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television Council, who formerly worked in the interactive division at Metro-GoldwynMayer. “I don’t see this in any way, shape or form making for more violent games. What this allows is for retailers to sell violent video games to children.”

Judge blocks parts of Ga. immigration law I Civil liberties

groups hail the ruling as a victory

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked parts of Georgia’s strict new law targeting illegal immigration from taking ef fect, including a provision that authorizes police to check the immigration status of suspects without proper identification and to detain illegal immigrants.

Georgia’s became the latest in a string of state laws that have been at least temporarily stopped by legal challenges. All or parts of similar laws in Arizona, Utah and Indiana also have been blocked by federal judges.

Judge Thomas Thrash also granted a request from civil liberties groups to block a part of Georgia’s law that penalizes people who knowingly and willingly transport or harbor illegal immigrants while committing another crime.

“The defendants wildly exaggerate the scope of the federal crime of harboring under (the law) when they claim that the Plaintiffs are violating federal immigration law by giving rides to their friends and neighbors who are illegal aliens,” he said.

The judge was especially

critical of that provision, blasting the state’s assertion that federal immigration enforcement is “passive.” Thrash noted that federal immigration officers remove more than 900 foreign citizens from the country on an average day.

He also wrote that the state measure would overstep the enforcement boundaries established by federal law. Thrash noted that there are thousands of illegal immigrants in Georgia because of the “insatiable demand in decades gone by for cheap labor” in the agriculture and construction industries. But he said the federal government gives priority to prosecuting and removing illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.

The civil liberties groups had sued to have those and other provisions blocked before they took effect Friday, though Thrash did toss parts of that lawsuit.

The groups had argued that the law allows unreasonable seizures; blocks a constitutional right to travel; and restricts access to government services on the basis of national origin. The judge dismissed those claims, along with allegations the measure violates property rights and the state constitution.

Nonetheless, the groups hailed the ruling.

“This is a victory that matches the trend nation-

ally. It should send a really strong signal to other states considering such laws,” said Karen Tumlin, a lawyer for the National Immigration Law Center.

Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens said in a statement his of fice plans to appeal the court’s ruling.

He said he was pleased that parts of the lawsuit were dismissed.

The law’s main sponsor, Republican state Rep. Matt Ramsey, called the judge’s ruling a temporary setback.

The judge also was concer ned about the wider implications of the law on trade and diplomatic relations, which were laid out

by Mexican of ficials in court documents.

“The conflict is not a purely speculative and indirect impact on immigration. It is direct and immediate,” he wrote.

The federal judge also accused the state of “gross hypocrisy” in its argument that Georgia’s crackdown would prevent the exploitation of illegal immigrants.

“The apparent legislative intent is to create such a climate of hostility, fear, mistrust and insecurity that all illegal aliens will leave Georgia,” he said.

“Curiously, the court writes ‘all illegal aliens will leave Georgia’ if the law is enforced, as if it is appalled at the thought of people attaining visas before coming to our nation,” said

Robinson, a Brian spokesman for Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal.

Similar laws elsewhere have met similar fates. A federal judge has blocked the most controversial parts of the law in Arizona, where Gov. Jan Brewer has said she plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In Utah, a federal judge temporarily blocked that state’s law last month. A hearing is set for mid-July to determine if the law can go into effect. And on Friday, a federal judge blocked parts of Indiana’s law.

On Friday, many parts of the law will take ef fect.

Among them is one that makes it a felony with hefty penalties to use false information or documentation when applying for a job.

Another creates an immigration review board to investigate complaints about government officials not complying with state laws related to illegal immigration.

Starting Jan. 1, businesses with 500 or more employees will have to use a federal database to check the immigration status of new hires, a requirement that will be phased in for all businesses with more than 10 employees by July 2013. Also starting Jan. 1, applicants for public benefits will have to provide at least one state or federally issued “secure and verifiable” document.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Thousands of jubilant Libyans danced and cheered in the streets of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant Monday for Moammar Gadhafi, accusing him of crimes against humanity for killing civilians who rose up against his rule.

Moammar Gadhafi The court order raised pressure on the Gadhafi regime, already targeted by daily airstrikes, and NATO clearly hopes it will encourage key allies to abandon him. But it also gives Gadhafi less incentive to accept a peaceful settlement that would see him leave power — something he has shown no indication of doing — because of the subsequent threat of arrest.

The court in The Hague, Netherlands, lacks police powers, and the force most likely to arrest Gadhafi appears to be the rebels battling to oust him.

At the United Nations, political af fairs chief B. Lynn Pascoe said the rebels now hold a tenuous military advantage over Gadhafi’s forces. The rebels have failed to penetrate the Libyan leader’s center of power in Tripoli and conceded Monday they are unlikely to detain Gadhafi on their own.

Warrants were also issued for Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, whom he has groomed as his successor, and for Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi. All three men were accused of orchestrating the killing, injuring, arrest and imprisonment of hundreds of civilians during the first 12

days of an uprising to topple Gadhafi from power, and for trying to cover up their alleged crimes.

Presiding Judge Sanji Monageng of Botswana said Gadhafi had “absolute, ultimate and unquestioned control” over his country’s military and security forces. She said prosecutors presented evidence showing that following popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, Gadhafi and his inner circle plotted a “state policy ... aimed at deterring and quelling by any means — including by the use of lethal force — demonstrations by civilians against the regime.”

Hundreds of civilians were killed, injured or arrested, and there were “reasonable grounds to believe” that Gadhafi and his son were both responsible for the murder and persecution of civilians, she said.

Gadhafi’s regime rejected the court’s authority and dismissed the charges as politically motivated.

“This court is nothing but a cover for the military operations of NATO,” said Justice Minister Mohammed al-Qamudi.

“The ICC does not really mean anything for us Libyans because we are not party to it and because it’s merely a political tool for exerting pressure and political blackmail against sovereign countries. ... It has become clear that it’s a tool of imperialism.”

Hours after the arrest warrants were announced, dozens of pro-government supporters stor med the grounds of a Tripoli hotel where foreign journalists are required to stay, chanting slogans in support of the leader, who has held power since 1969. Defiant bursts of gunfire rang out across the capital into the evening.

By contrast, thousands of Libyans poured into Liberty Square in the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi, with women ululating and dancing and several men shooting celebratory gunfire in the air. The square echoed with chants of: “The blood of the martyrs will not be wasted” and “Freedom is here. Today we win.”

Where there’s smoke, there’s fireworks A4 Tuesday, June 28, 2011

OPINION

Down the street, kids have already started celebrating Independence Day. And why not?

They have three big fireworks stands within a few blocks.

Also down the street is a halfburned shrub, the first casualty, conjuring old memories of my brother and his friends setting the vacant lot next door on fire with their fireworks. And that’s nothing compared to the million acres-plus torched in New Mexico and Arizona during the worst fire season in years.

After months without rain and weeks of hot winds, the great outdoors is one big mass of what fire professionals call fuel loads.

Around the state, we are one careless act from disaster.

Government entities large and small have responded with bans and restrictions, and police in some municipalities will be on the lookout for aerial-style fireworks and noisy ground devices. And

SHERRY ROBINSON

ALL SHE WROTE

forget about fireworks in the national forests, national parks and state lands, many of which are closed.

Some communities have prohibited outdoor grilling and smoking, using a chainsaw, welding and camping. There’s hardly a place left to grill that Fourth of July hot dog.

And yet the big white tents are doing a booming business.

Fire chiefs across the state would like to ban all fireworks this year, which is prudent, but state law doesn’t allow a complete ban. For years frustrated fire-

Roswell Daily Record

fighters have urged legislators to get tough, but no. So communities are left with their restrictions, and even the governor can only ask people to not use illegal fireworks. She has said she will support tougher fireworks legislation during the January session.

Speaking of fireworks, we have the eruption of news sparked by the arrest of respected UNM political science professor Chris Garcia for his alleged role in an online prostitution ring.

I worked at UNM for four years doing PR, and one of my assigned areas was science. I tried to imagine the serious men I knew in the Physics Department, men whose research was so complex it could not be explained to above average mortals, in the business of, uh, procurement. I couldn’t picture it.

Neither could anybody picture the distinguished Garcia as “BurquePops.”

This is a man who was not only

acting president of UNM but could have been president if he wanted — he’s that well regarded.

Hal Rhodes, my writing colleague and founder of this syndicate, has known Garcia for 41 years, since a young Garcia joined UNM fresh out of grad school. Grappling with his shock and sadness, Hal still holds Garcia in the highest esteem as a scholar.

There’s great pain on campus right now — another blow to faculty and staff morale. But here’s what New Mexicans need to remember: In spite of everything, professors will teach, students will learn, and the business of higher education will go on.

Speaking of education, I heard from reader Jack Jekowski, an engineer with a long involvement with school improvement. The Coalition of Excellence and Math and Science (http://www.cesame-nm.org) has studied the concept of grad-

ing schools.

“In general we believe the technique may have some merit, but is fraught with potential land mines, much like No Child Left Behind if the methodology for calculating the school grade is not done properly,” he writes. “It has the potential for further alienating the teachers as well if the process is not understood and supported.”

Measurement of school success must weigh such variables as demographics and poverty, he says. This is work in progress.

Speaking of variables, reader Jesse Monsey recalls that Hobbs’ “City with an Assured Future” promotion didn’t go as planned.

On billboards with the slogan, vandals from neighboring towns painted out the U in “assured,” which delivered quite a different message. These days, Hobbs is the EnergyPlex. © New Mexico News Services 2011

EDITORIAL

Withdrawing from Afghanistan

Nearly 10 years of American war in Afghanistan are in the books. There are still three more to go, President Barack Obama told the nation Wednesday, with a drawdown of troops beginning this summer, as he had previously promised.

Obama said in his speech televised from the White House that American goals in Afghanistan have been largely achieved.

“We are starting this drawdown from a position of strength,” he argued.

There are knowledgeable people who will dispute that claim, correctly pointing out that the central government in Kabul is weak and corrupt, that the Afghan military is far from ready to assume responsibility in the battle against Taliban insurgents, and that military gains made in the past 18 months are fragile and could be reversed if U.S. troops are withdrawn too quickly.

But Obama was probably right in saying that the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan “is under more pressure than at any time since 9/11.”

Indeed, the world’s most-wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, is dead — killed by U.S. special forces early last month and buried at sea by the crew of the San Diegobased aircraft carrier Carl Vinson.

Perhaps more important than the death of bin Laden is the belief of many knowledgeable people that bin Ladenism — the ideology that says violent jihad against the West and other enemies must be part of the tenets of mainstream Islam — is also dying, or at least receding. They point to the prodemocracy revolts of the “Arab spring” in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria.

And Obama was clearly right in acknowledging the $10 billion-a-month strain the war is placing on the U.S. economy. “America,” he said, “it is time to focus on nationbuilding here at home.”

It was that line in particular that prompted some analysts to dismiss Obama’s address as merely a political speech made with an eye on his own re-election prospects next year and on polls showing that 56 percent of Americans now favor an end to the war as soon as possible.

But in the view of this editorial page, there is nothing wrong with a president taking popular support for a war, or the lack of it, into account when considering war strategy. Surely, we learned at least that much from Vietnam.

With the upcoming troop withdrawals, U.S. military efforts will apparently shift from the counterinsurgency strategy of the past 18 months — still favored by Gen. David Petraeus, Obama’s top commander in Afghanistan — to a strategy focused more on clandestine operations against specific terrorist enclaves. That goal, Obama said, “is achievable, and can be expressed simply: no safe haven from which al-Qaida or its affiliates can launch attacks against our homeland or our allies.”

Politically motivated or not, it seems the right goal at the right time. Still, 2014 cannot get here quickly enough.

Does this include palm oil, cocoa, pure maple syrup and coconut? It is hard enough to find powdered mixes without the facilities also processing nuts there. I also became very sick (vomited) after eating clams, so should I now avoid them and other types of shellfish? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Cocoa, or rather, cacao, is not a nut, but is the fruit of the cacao tree. Chocolate is made from the seeds of this fruit. Coconut, while classified as a tree nut by the FDA, is not a true nut, but rather a drupe (a specific type of fruit). Pure maple syrup is derived from the sap of the maple tree. Finally, palm oil is made from the fruit of palm trees.

LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

June is Great Outdoors Month, celebrating the rich blessings of our nation’s natural beauty and July is National Recreation and Parks Month. Roswell has parks, golf courses, swimming pools, hiking and biking trails, assorted sports arenas, lakes and other outdoor areas scattered around the city and county. The Spring River Park and Zoo, with its train and carousel rides, playground equipment and animals of fer activities for the whole family.

Spending the day at the park is not only great for your wallet; it’s great for your health too. Being active can reduce stress, improve cardiovascular health, help ward off obesity and decrease feelings of depression. Listening to a “talking book” on CD or cassette while walking or exercising can add enjoyment to the benefits.

The Roswell Public Library has thousands of fiction and non-fiction titles for your listening pleasure. In observance of our country’s independence, the library will be closed on the Fourth of July. The book drop will be closed from 6 p.m. on Sunday until 9 a.m. on Tuesday. The staff of the library wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday.

and old, and are especially embraced by teens. Comic and anime aficionados will enjoy the artwork detailing the story, while people who have a hard time reading novels will be rewarded with a good story. The young adult-teen section of the library is continually adding more titles, so there is sure to be something for everyone. This is an excellent area to enjoy during the One World-Many Stories Summer Reading Adventure. Amanda Davis, reference librarian, showcases a few of these new books.

Kiiro Yumi’s “Library Wars” takes place in a future Japan that restricts and censors the books it finds unsuitable. Only libraries can offer complete collections to its citizens, but that makes them a prime target for thieves who would seek to steal these now precious-materials.

Thus, the Library Defense Force is created to protect the libraries.

Third strike for Susanna

Dear Editor: For the third time, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has lost a legal dispute over her arrogant abuse of her executive responsibilities.

The New Mexico Supreme Court invalidated a line-item veto by the governor that reduced an appropriation from $150,000 to $50,000 for a housing program, The governor did that by striking a single digit — the “1” in the $150,000.

The justices unanimously said the governor exceeded her constitutional powers and ruled that the $150,000 will be available in the state budget for oversight of the state’s low-income housing program. Changing the amount of an appropriation is the same as writing legislation, which is solely the responsibility of the legislative branch of our state government.

Previously, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled against her when she attempted to prevent the implementation of both a rule aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions and a measure which would control pollution from the dairy industry.

Then the court ordered that two members of the Public Employee Labor Relations Board be reinstated, declaring her arbitrary removal of them to be an unconstitutional abuse of her authority.

Is a fourth strike coming up? The justices said they will rule later on the second disputed veto, in which Martinez rejected an estimated $128 million tax increase on busi-

DEAR DR. GOTT: When you respond to a question and refer to their doctor as “he or she,” why don’t you just say, “Your doctor will tell

I love your column. I have gotten other people (note that I didn’t have to say gender specific) to read you, too!

DEAR READER: The simple answer is grammar. “They” is used when talking about more than one individual.

Therefore, it doesn’t make sense that an individual (one person) can give “their” (more than one person) suggestions on a matter.

I am a stickler for grammar, but in today’s society, this trait seems to have fallen by the wayside. Just because many people incorrectly say or write something most of the time, doesn’t mean that it is any less wrong.

friend against friend, brother against brother. Marvel’s “Civil War” series has permeated all their franchises in recent time, resulting in many crossovers and novels being released. Brian Michael Bendis’ “Road to Civil War” collects issues from New Avengers: Illuminati, Amazing Spider-Man and Fantastic Four.

These tell the hidden history of Marvel’s most secret team and the lead up to the stor m that threatens to split the Marvel Universe in half. Mark Millar’s “Civil War” collects the first seven issues of the “Civil War” comics and stars Spider-Man, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the entirety of the Marvel pantheon.

For the TV watchers, check out the “Models, Inc.” graphic novel

by Paul Tobin. It features “Project Runway’s” own Tim Gunn giving fashion advice and taking on the Iron Man suit in a short story, which gives way to the models that do most of the fighting.

Robert Kirkman’s “Walking Dead” is a graphic novel inspired by the sleeper -hit show of the same name on AMC. It has a more realistic approach to the zombie genre, as it follows people actually living their lives in a zombierun planet. This provides an interesting real-life perspective to the possibility of a zombie outbreak that is not found in many other graphic novels portraying the undead.

Our visitors may include toads, snakes, birds or many other small animals for a fun and informative program.

After the presentation, precut materials will be provided for making crafts such as a zoo animal mask or a snake or toad bookmark. The quantities of craft items may be limited.

nesses to pay for unemployment benefits. Both the Association of Commerce and Industry and the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce strongly supported this bill. The unemployment program is projected to run out of money in early 2012, and the higher taxes were to take effect in January 2012. Insolvency of the program could trigger an even higher federal tax burden on businesses.

The state constitution allows line-item or partial vetoes in bills that appropriate money for specific programs or services. However, legislators contend the unemployment legislation didn’t allocate any specific amount — making the tax veto improper.

All these court cases cost taxpayer money. Martinez should learn to do her job. Firing two cooks is not going to make up for all this costly litigation.

current or former partners. That is the equivalent of three jumbo jets crashing every single year filled only with women.

Niurka could have told herself, “Maybe it was just this once, maybe it was a mistake, maybe he really didn’t mean to hit me.” But the violence was so brutal, so personal, so full of rage toward her, that she knew in her gut it was not a mistake.

And he beat her in front of his own son and made her feel like she was no more than a stray dog being kicked. After being together for three years, this was the first time he had ever been violent. And it was his last. With her.

So many young women don’t say or do anything out of fear or shame or both. But Niurka picked up the phone, called 911 immediately and told the cops about her husband. She knows her rights as a victim. She is studying criminal justice in community college. Young and poor, Niurka had decided she would not be a victim of poverty. She had already

In addition, ink stamps and other decorative items will be available for tweens to express their individual creativity. Any of these would make wonder ful gifts, be useful in writing notes for stories, or keeping track of important events or travels during the summer.

His married friends help him see what he’s missing (both good and bad). But it is the music that makes this a wonderful production.

Fireworks pose threat

Dear Editor: What does the state, county and city not understand about “Fire Danger”? Are we so dumb or just greedy that we cannot give up buying and using fireworks for one year, so our state will not burn up? Look around you — this is the dryest year in history.

Promote the supervised programs and enjoy them —but you and I both know if they allow them to be sold they will be used irresponsibly. Are we the only people concerned about our county burning?

Bill Holland Dexter painted a picture of herself in her mind: college graduate, job in criminal justice, the “white picket fence,” even if it would be imaginary in a tenement apartment in Spanish Harlem. But that one night, he tried to break that dream, and she was a hero for hanging on to it.

That night, Niurka took on everything and everyone and changed her life, all because she wants her son to grow up in a place free from family violence.

Niurka, a 21-year-old young Latina, single mother, salesclerk, part-time student, one of so many of the people who might be invisible, is, in fact, an American hero and role model.

And I told her so, even when she continued to look at me in disbelief. Because she is.

ENMMC’s ‘Healthy Woman 7th Anniversary Event’ to be July 7th

Last year over 2,000 women attended a Healthy Woman event in the Roswell area. Eastern New Mexico Medical Center's chapter of Healthy Woman is here to serve the community by providing health education, health fairs and fun events for women of all ages.

The mission of the ENMMC's Healthy Woman program is to empower women with the knowledge and confidence to make informed healthcare and well being decisions for themselves and their loved ones. Women's health is at the heart of this program.

Blagojevich said, adding that the couple wanted “to get home to our little girls and talk to them and explain things to them and then try to sort things out.” His two daughters are 8 and 14.

The case exploded into scandal when Blagojevich was awakened by federal agents on Dec. 9, 2008, at his Chicago home and was led away in handcuffs. Federal prosecutors had been investigating his administration for years, and some of his closest cronies had already been convicted.

Blagojevich was swiftly impeached and removed from office.

The verdict provided affirmation to U.S. Attor ney Patrick Fitzgerald, one of the nation’s most prominent prosecutors, who, after the governor’s arrest, had condemned Blagojevich’s dealings as a “political corruption crime spree.”

On Monday, he said the key question for the jury was whether to accept the defense suggestion that Blagojevich’s activities amounted to “the kind of political wheeling and dealing that is common in Illinois and around the country.”

“That,” said Fitzgerald, his voice rising, “couldn’t be any further from the truth. ... Selling a Senate seat, shaking down a chil-

father returned her to her home following visitation. The child told her mother that “he touched her with his pinkie.”

The criminal complaint said the physical examination revealed redness and an abrasion in the pubic region. The physician stipulated that the redness noted could not be viewed as conclusive.

The child also exhibited other physical symptoms which indicated sexual penetration.

The 4-year old also told investigators that “Daddy Marcus” touched her twice. When asked where she was touched, she pointed to “her private parts.”

The criminal complaint also stated that when the girl was asked where these incidents occurred, she answered in her bed.

In the initial interview, Ramirez said he had been accused of sexual abuse in the past, but he had been exonerated by the “state doctor.”

Ramirez said he believes that the mother’s boyfriend may be responsible.

Fitzgerald also addressed a question that has hung over the case ever since Blagojevich was arrested: Why did authorities not wait until the governor actually made a deal for the Senate seat?

Doing so might have helped ensnare other conspirators.

A U.S. Senate seat “should not be put up for sale. You should not let the sale happen. ... Our job is to try to prevent crime, not just prosecute crime,” he said.

Fitzgerald pledged to retry the governor after the first jury failed to reach a decision on all but the least serious of 24 charges against him.

On Monday, the jury voted to convict on 17 of 20 counts after deliberating nine days. Blagojevich also faces up to five additional years in prison for his previous conviction of lying to the FBI. Blagojevich was acquitted of soliciting bribes in the alleged shakedown of a road-building executive. The jury deadlocked on two charges of attempted extortion related to that executive and funding for a school.

Judge James Zagel has barred Blagojevich from traveling outside the area without permission. A status hearing to discuss sentencing was set for Aug. 1.

The charges carry a possible sentence up to 300 years in prison, but federal guidelines mean he will serve only a fraction

“The child was in a car seat,” said Batemen, “but he was either not buckled in or not buckled properly.”

Investigations are ongoing. ment, Ramirez’s girlfriend said she had never witnessed any inappropriate behavior between father and daughter.

She suggested that the child may have been prompted by the interviewer since the girl never referred to her father by his first name.

The girlfriend doubted if the 4-year-old even knew her father’s first name.

The girlfriend also stated that she was unsure if she would continue to see Ramirez since she had children of her own and was “very protective of them.”

Ramirez is charged with a first-degree offense, which requires proof of “penetration” and that the victim be under 13.

As a first degree felony, Ramirez faces up to 18 years in prison. If convicted, once released he would have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Ramirez was released from Chaves County Detention Center on June 25, after paying his $75,000 cash surety bond. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

GENERAL

of that.

Judges have enormous discretion in sentencing and can factor in a host of variables, including whether a defendant took the stand and lied. Prosecutors have said that Blagojevich did just that.

Two legal experts speculated that Blagojevich would probably receive around 10 years in prison, with little chance that he would get more than 15.

Former prosecutor Jeff Cramer estimated that Blagojevich would get between six and 12 years.

Another former assistant U.S. attorney, Phil Turner, guessed closer to six years.

All 12 jurors — 11 women and one man — spoke to reporters after the verdict, identifying themselves only by juror numbers. Their full names were to be released Tuesday.

Jurors said the evidence that Blagojevich tried to secure a high-paying, high-powered position in exchange for the appointment of Obama’s successor in the Senate was the clearest in the case.

“There was so much more evidence to go on,” said Juror No. 140. Jury members said they listened and re-listened to recordings of Blagojevich’s phone conversations with aides. They also acknowledged finding the former governor likable.

“He was personable,” Juror No. 103 said. “It made it hard to separate what we actively had to do as jurors.”

Hours earlier McConnell reaf fir med Republican opposition to more tax hikes in a speech from the Senate floor.

“It’s time Washington take the hit,” he said, “not the taxpayers.”

McConnell said any tax increase or new spending would be counterproductive to economic recovery, and he pointed out that Democrats had been unable to pass tax increases on the wealthy when they controlled both chambers of Congress last year.

“Let’s move past tax hikes, talk about what’s actually possible, and let’s talk about what has and hasn’t worked over the past two years,” said the Kentucky Republican.

Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Still, Juror No. 140 said she found Blagojevich’s testimony over seven days at times “manipulative.”

“Our verdict shows that we did not believe it,” she said.

The quiet Blagojevich who left the courthouse Monday was a sharp contrast with the combative politician who emerged after his arrest. Back then, he called federal prosecutors “cowards and liars” and challenged Fitzgerald to face him in court if he was “man enough.”

Over the months that followed, he engaged in what many saw as embarrassing indignities for a former governor. He sent his wife to the jungle for a reality television show, “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here,” where she had to eat a tarantula. He later showed his own ineptitude at simple office skills before being fired on Donald T rump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”

For the second trial, prosecutors streamlined their case, and attorneys for the former governor put on a defense — highlighted by a chatty Blagojevich taking the witness stand for seven days to portray himself as a big talker but not a criminal.

Richard Kling, a professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law who watched much of the trial, said the defense had no choice but to put Blagojevich on the stand, even though doing so was risky.

“The problem was with some of his explanations,” Kling said. “It reminded me of a little kid who

At issue is not just the staggering national debt but a showdown on the federal borrowing limit that carries enormous risks.

Absent an agreement that cuts long-ter m deficits, Republicans say they will not vote to increase the nation’s borrowing, which will exceed its $14.3 trillion limit on Aug. 2. The administration has warned that if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling, it could mean the first U.S. financial default in history and send economic shockwaves around the world.

To meet government obligations, a two-year increase in the debt ceiling would have to be about $2.4 trillion.

Republicans are insisting on deficit reduction of a similar amount over 10 years.

So far the financial markets remain unrattled by the impasse, and some say it might take a market massive upheaval to move Congress to pass an increase in the debt ceiling. several recommendations on helping police deal with the mentally ill.

gets his hand caught in a cookie jar. He says, ‘Mommy I wasn’t taking the cookies. I was just trying to protect them and to count them.”’

Robert Grant, head of the FBI’s Chicago office, said the agency’s eavesdropping helped seal the verdict.

“A famous artist once said that lady justice is blind, but she has very sophisticated listening devices, and that was certainly the case in this matter,” Grant said.

Blagojevich seemed to believe he could talk his way out of trouble from the witness stand. He sought to counteract the blunt, greedy man he appeared to be on FBI wiretaps and apologized to jurors for the four -letter words that peppered the recordings.

He said the wiretaps merely displayed his approach to decision-making: to invite a whirlwind of ideas — “good ones, bad ones, stupid ones” — then toss the ill-conceived ones out.

When a prosecutor read wiretap transcripts where Blagojevich seems to speak clearly of trading the Senate seat for a job, Blagojevich told jurors, “I see what I say here, but that’s not what I meant.”

Lead prosecutor Reid Schar started his questioning of Blagojevich with a quick verbal punch: “Mr. Blagojevich, you are a convicted liar, correct?”

After the judge overruled a flurry of defense objections, Blagojevich eventually answered: “Yes.”

God here we go again.”’

Tucker said the current blaze — which grew Monday to roughly 50,000 acres, or 78 square miles — was the most active fire he had seen in his career.

By midafter noon, it had jumped a highway and burned an acre of land on the outskirts of the lab’s 36-square mile complex.

The fire scorched a section of what is known as the Tech Area, 49, which was used in the early 1960s for a series of underground tests with high explosives and radioactive materials. Lab officials said the fire was safely extinguished.

Lab spokesman Kevin Roark said environmental specialists from the lab were mobilized and monitoring air quality on Monday, but that the main concern was smoke.

The anti-nuclear watchdog group Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, however, said the fire appeared to be about 3 1/2 miles from a dumpsite

where as many as 30,000 55-gallon drums of plutonium-contaminated waste were stored in fabric tents above ground. The group said the drums were awaiting transport to a low-level radiation dump site in southern New Mexico.

Lab spokesman Steve Sandoval declined to confirm that there were any such drums currently on the property. He acknowledged that low-level waste is at times put in drums and regularly taken from the lab to the Waste Isolation Pilot Project site in Carlsbad.

Sandoval said the fire was “quite a bit away” from that storage area. But he could not say what would happen if drums containing such waste were to burn.

“Unfortunately, I cannot answer that question other than to say that the material is well protected. And the lab — knowing that it works with hazardous and nuclear materials — takes great pains to make sure it is protected and locked in concrete steel vaults. And the fire poses very little threat to them.”

‘Weird’ Harley-Davidson exhibit has rare items

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A new exhibit at the Harley-Davidson Museum is proof the Milwaukee motorcycle maker is about much more than its classic hogs.

An all-leather motorcycle made in Japan, rarely seen prototype bikes and a rocket engine that powered drone missiles during the Vietnam War are just a few of the items the company has dug out of its archive for “Collection X: Weird, Wild Wonders of the Harley-Davidson Museum.”

The museum’s senior curator, Kristen Jones, said certain items were chosen to tell particular stories when the museum opened nearly three years ago. But many got left in storage, only to be glimpsed by museum goers on special behind-

the-scenes tours.

It’s from those tours that curators got the idea to put together the new exhibit, said Jim Fricke, curatorial director.

“You see the look on people’s faces when you let them into the climate-controlled storage area and we begin to pull out this treasure,” he said. “So we decided to play off the kind of mystery embodied in the kind of secret storehouse. That’s where the theme came from.”

The exhibit, which runs through Aug. 21, includes a 1920s leather aviator’s facemask, a tiered “trophy cake” that displays racing trophies from the early 1900s and handmade kidney belts that riders wore through the years.

“There are a lot of different chap-

ters, and there are chapters that aren’t as well-known as others,” said museum vice president Bill Davidson, the great-grandson of Harley-Davidson Motor Co. cofounder William A. Davidson, describing the history of the company where he’s worked most of his life. He said just talking about the exhibit gives him goose bumps.

The vehicles on display highlight a lesser-known side of the popular motorcycle maker.

There’s the all-leather motorcycle, a 3/4-scale replica that it took 20 craftspeople from a Japanese company specializing in leather products more than two years to complete. There’s the Rikuo model, the first motorcycle manufactured in Japan, which was made by a com-

pany that licensed the tooling and design of a Harley.

There’s also a prototype of a liquid-cooled motor-cross bike from 1978 when the company considered getting into that market, and “Project K,” an experimental, threewheel vehicle from the mid-1980s that was a cross between a motorcycle and a car powered by a Harley engine.

Harley-Davidson has 500 vehicles in its archive, as well as 150,000 photos and negatives, 7,000 pieces of clothing and accessories, and loads of marketing literature, manuals, business documents and personal mementos like journals and diaries.

The archive dates back to when the company started in 1903.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — One of baseball’s proudest franchises is in tatters, its future to be decided more in the courtroom than on the field.

The Los Angeles Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court Monday, blaming Major League Baseball for refusing to approve a multibilliondollar TV deal that owner Frank McCourt was counting on to keep the troubled franchise afloat.

McCourt, upset that baseball Commissioner Bud Selig rejected the proposed TV deal last week, hopes a federal judge will approve $150 million in financing to be used for daily operations, which would give him more time to seek a more favorable media contract. A hearing is set for Tuesday.

“The action taken today

by Mr. McCourt does nothing but inflict further harm to this historic franchise,” Selig said in a statement.

The team is bleeding red ink instead of Dodger blue,

with former players owed millions. Even beloved Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully is owed more than $150,000 as part of his contract, court documents show.

The filing by a cashstarved McCourt comes just days before he was expected to miss a team payroll on Thursday and possibly be confronted with an MLB takeover.

Legal observers expect MLB to contest McCourt’s request for filing bankruptcy, arguing the dispute should remain within the confines of baseball. Baseball’s constitution allows Selig to take control of a team that seeks Chapter 11 protection.

MLB would have to file a motion to seek termination of the franchise. A person familiar with the filing, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the situation is still in flux, said See BANKRUPT, Page B2

EX-WOLFPACK STAR CHARLES KILLED IN CRASH

IRALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Former North Carolina State basketball star Lorenzo Charles, the muscular forward whose lastsecond dunk gave the underdog Wolfpack the 1983 national collegiate championship, was killed Monday when a bus he was driving crashed, a company official said Monday.

Elite Coach general manager Brad Jackson said Charles, 47, worked for the company and was driving one of its buses on Interstate 40.

Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said no passengers were aboard.

Charles secured his spot in N.C. State lore 28 years ago in the final moments of the Wolfpack’s matchup with Houston in the national championship game.

He grabbed Dereck Whittenburg’s 30-foot shot and dunked it at the buzzer to give N.C. State a 54-52 win and its second national title, sending coach Jim Valvano spilling onto the court, scrambling for someone to hug in what has become one of the lasting images of the NCAA tournament.

“It’s still kind of amazing to me that ... people are still talking about it,” Charles said in an excerpt from his comments about the championship game on his N.C. State Web page. “I remember when (it) first happened, I figured I would have my 15 minutes of fame and that would be it.

Here we are and it is still a conversational piece. I don’t really think that was the only great Final Four finish that has been played since then, but for some reason people just single out that game and talk about it. Maybe because it was such a David and Goliath thing.”

KU gives Calipari a raise, extension LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The University of Kentucky has given men’s basketball coach John Calipari an extension that makes his contract worth $36.5 million and will keep him coaching the Wildcats through 2019.

In his first two seasons at Kentucky, the Wildcats have gone 64-12 and last season earned their first trip to the NCAA Final Four in 13 years. They are 33-0 at home in Rupp Arena under Calipari.

“The people of Kentucky have embraced our family as one of their own and we love being here and there is no other place we’d rather be,” Calipari said in a university statement.

UK added two years to Calipari’s current contract and reworked the compensation so that he is guaranteed $3.8 million for the next eight seasons and retention bonuses of $1 million in five of the next eight years and $1.1 million in the final year. He is also eligible for up to $850,000 in annual incentives, based mostly on the team’s performance in postseason tournaments.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Walking away from Centre Court, Oracene Price — mother and sometimes-coach to Serena and Venus Williams — shook her head after watching one daughter lose at Wimbledon, then the other.

Undeniably great as she is, even defending champion Serena found it too tough to make a deep run at her first Grand Slam tournament in a year after a series of health scares. And as successful as Venus has been at the All England Club, even she couldn’t muster her best after missing nearly five months with a hip injury.

“I don’t think their layoffs helped their rhythm,” Price said. “They both seemed to be making the same kinds of mistakes. They were hit-and-miss, here and there.”

They’re both headed home after straightset exits in the fourth round against farless-accomplished opponents Monday. First, 13-time major champion Serena lost 6-3, 76 (6) to ninth-seeded Marion Bartoli on

Court 1. Then, less than two hours later and before a Centre Court crowd that included Prince William and his new bride, Kate, fivetime Wimbledon champion Venus was beaten 6-2, 6-3 by 32nd-seeded Tsvetana Pironkova.

Adding to the chaotic nature of the afternoon, top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki lost, too, although she’s still searching for her first Grand Slam singles trophy, while the Williams sisters own a total of 20.

“Definitely not our best day,” Venus said.

“I think we both envisioned seeing this day going a little bit different.”

And why shouldn’t they have? After all, Venus and her younger sister combined to win nine of the past 11 Wimbledon titles, including Serena’s victories in 2009 and 2010. They even played each other in four of the finals in that span.

lose,” said Serena, a former No. 1 whose ranking now will plummet to about 175th. “That’s my attitude.”

It’s the first time since 2006 that neither Williams is in the Wimbledon quarterfinals; Venus lost in the third round that year, while Serena skipped that tournament because of a left knee injury. Of the 12 years that both entered the field at the All England Club, this is the first neither one made it past the fourth round.

“Obviously, it’s not something planned,” Venus said.

“We rarely lose on the same day.”

That’s true: They last lost on the same day at a Grand Slam tournament on May 30, 2008, in the French Open’s third round.

base has been magical,” Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart said in the statement. Barnhart said Calipari “wants to be at Kentucky for a long time.”

Calipari will turn 60 in 2019, the last year of the current contract.

He said during a conference call with Southeastern Conference coaches Monday that he’s “not going to be coaching in my 70s.”

“I’m not going to have my win-loss record on my tombstone,” Calipari said.

“I’m not coaching to try to win more games than so-and-so. I don’t care about that.”

The new contract includes a base salary of $400,000 and $3.4 million in media and endorsement money.

Bankrupt Continued from Page B1

MLB will wait to see what happens in the hearing before deciding which way to go.

The main issue is whether “the bankruptcy court maintains control of the proceedings or acquiesce to baseball,” said Edward Ristaino, who chairs the sports practice at the law firm Akerman Senterfitt.

The Dodgers are meandering below .500 this season. First-year manager Don Mattingly acknowledged it was odd to think of the team filing for bankruptcy.

“Obviously a franchise as storied as we are and entrenched in the history of the game, in a big city like LA, a great fanbase, to look at that and say this is happening,” Mattingly said before Monday night’s game at Minnesota. “It is different.”

The Baltimore Orioles in 1993 and the Texas Rangers last year were sold in federal bankruptcy court, though in neither case did

Roswell Daily Record MLB seize the team first. In 2009, the Chicago Cubs went into bankruptcy for several weeks as part of the sales process after Tribune Co. agreed to sell the team to the family of billionaire Joe Ricketts.

“For somebody who grew up as a Dodger fan since he was 6 in Brooklyn, this makes me very, very sad,” said Bob Daley, the Dodgers’ managing partner when Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corp. sold the team to McCourt in 2004.

The Boston-accented real estate developer bought the team in a highly leveraged $430 million deal that was the second-highest for a baseball team at the time.

He became just the fourth owner in franchise history, and the sale marked the return of the team to family ownership, although the McCourt clan has been nothing like the O’Malleys.

The O’Malleys owned the Dodgers or a stake in them for more than 50 years, an old-fashioned tenure of stability and tradition. Any problems were kept inhouse, and employees were treated like family.

Nick Maronde (0-1) took the loss — the first for Florida (53-18) in 47 games in which it led after the seventh inning.

The Gamecocks reached the finals on Friday with a 3-2, 13inning win over Virginia in which Adam Matthews scored the winning run after Cavaliers reliever Cody Winiarski botched two throws after fielding bunts.

South Carolina survived bases-loaded predicaments in the 10th, 12th and 13th innings on Friday and did it again Monday in the ninth.

The loss spoiled a brilliant performance

by Florida starter Hudson Randall, who has allowed one run or less in 10 of his 19 starts this season.

Rodeo clowns: Life has been good Diabetics get blood ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Duane Stephens moves well for a 76-year -old — he moves even better considering he spent nearly 20 of those years running for his life.

Stephens, you see, was a professional clown. But not just any clown. The Texas native was once a rodeo bull fighter, who happened to dress like a clown.

The difference?

“You got a 1,500-pound animal staring down at you, trying to hook ya,” said the septuagenarian, with a gravelly voice and a stare much more serious than you’d expect from a man with a painted-on smile and cherry-red nose.

And, yes, he’s been hooked quite a few times.

“One got me right here,” he said, pointing to his right eye, caked in white makeup.

Five concussions and an accident where the full weight of a bull landed on his chest, collapsing his rib cage, were the extent of his injuries, he said casually. Serious to most, but not to him.

“It’s just our way of life,” said Stephens, who retired from bull fighting in 1967 to become a trial lawyer, from his hotel room in Santa Fe. In that same hotel, Stephens wasn’t the only one who set common sense aside to work in a field where being stomped by a large, ornery animal is simply a lifestyle choice.

Stephens is a part of a group of roughly 40 retired rodeo clowns who converged on the City Different this month for their semi-annual reunion. He and his colleagues appeared in the June 22 opener of the Rodeo de Santa Fe, and while Stephens has no plans to ever stare down a bull again, he will be on hand to sign autographs nightly.

But just so you understand — if he could fight bulls again, he would.

Duane Stephens, left, from Tyler, Texas, and Joe McBride, from Brooklyn, N.Y., get ready at the Inn at Santa Fe, Wednesday.

“Of course I miss it,” he said. “It was a whole lot of fun.”

Stephens got his start in Tyler, Texas, in the early 1950s — first as an aspiring bull rider, and, when that didn’t work out, he figured he’d give clowning a go.

“I went to a rodeo and lied to a man, telling him I was a helluva bull fighter,” he said in front of a hotel vanity, powdering his face. “He said, ‘I’ll give you $25 to try you one time.’ I said OK.” But just as Stephens finished his sentence while snapping the last button on his wester n shirt, Gail Woerner — the rodeo clown wrangler — burst into the room, yelling for him and fellow clown, Joe McBride, 72, to get their acts together and meet in the lobby.

That’s because the clowns weren’t just performing at the rodeo. On this day, Stephens, McBride and 18 others were sent out to meet and sign autographs for children at various health care facilities across town.

And, no, they didn’t all

arrive in one car.

One by one, the clowns exited their respective vehicles and entered Camino Entrada Pediatrics, each with their stories of their love for the rodeo, which is why they reunite every other year — on their own dime, by the way — in whatever state Woerner, who organizes everything, chooses.

New York, Florida, Montana, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, to name a few.

“It’s just a chance for everyone to get together every year or so,” Stephens said.

It’s something McBride looks forward to every chance he gets.

The corrections department worker from New York City considers himself lucky for never breaking a bone, nor taking a hor n by a bull. But he considers himself even luckier that somehow a kid from Brooklyn would end up in the rodeo.

“When I was growing up, there was just radio,” said McBride, with just a hint of his native accent, “and I would listen to all the cowboy shows. One

Sidney was born Aug. 29, 1926, to Edward Brewer and Bulah Bramlett. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. Sidney married Virginia Schmid, Oct. 17, 1947.

Sidney far med in the Roswell area prior to establishing the family farm in Hagerman. Sidney enjoyed being a cowboy and was a member of the Rodeo Cowboys Association. He was preceded in death by his parents; a son, James; and brothers, Leon and Dean.

Sidney will be deeply missed by all of his family and friends.

Those left behind to cherish his memory include his wife Virginia Brewer, of the family home; sons, Bob Brewer, and Bill Brewer and wife Sandra; daugh-

thing led to another and I ended up buying a horse.”

Yes, he owned a horse in Brooklyn.

Then he would attend rodeos at Madison Square Garden, before trying his hand at bull riding.

“I was never too good at that — never made any money, always got bucked off,” he said. “So I became a bull fighter.”

Woerner, too, can’t quit the rodeo — which is why she puts up with all the clowns. Since 1993, Woer ner has sent out newsletters, coordinated travel plans and has done just about everything she could to make sure the tight-knit group of clowns remains that way.

“I have a list of about 200, and about 40 of their widows that I write to each month,” she said.

“They need to have their letters because — for a lot of them — that may be their only contact with their for mer lives, and that’s important.

“It is like herding cats, but this is my 12th rodeo clown reunion and it’s still fun. I love it. Nobody has a better job.”

Three dialysis patients have received the world’s first blood vessels grown in a lab from donated skin cells. It’s a key step toward creating a supply of readyto-use arteries and veins that could be used to treat diabetics, soldiers with damaged limbs, people having heart bypass surgery and others.

The goal is to one day have a refrigerated inventory of these in various sizes and shapes that surgeons could order up as needed like bandages and other medical supplies.

The work so far is still early-stage. Three patients in Poland have received the new vessels, which are working well two to eight months later. But doctors are excited because this builds on earlier success in about a dozen patients given blood vessels grown in the lab from their own skin — a process too long and expensive to be practical.

“This version, built from a master donor, is available off the shelf and at a dramatically reduced cost,” estimated at $6,000 to $10,000, said Todd McAllister, chief of Cytograft Tissue Engineering Inc., the San Francisco-area company leading the work.

The American Heart Association considers it so promising that the group featured it on Monday in the first of a new series of webcasts about cuttingedge science.

“This is tremendously exciting,” because the failure of blood vessels used in dialysis is “a huge public health problem,” said Duke University’s Dr. Robert Harrington, a heart expert who had no role in the work.

If a larger study getting under way now in Europe and South America shows success, “this is big news,” Harrington said.

Kidney failure, which is common in diabetics, requires dialysis to filter

wastes from the blood through a connection between an artery and a vein called a shunt. It gets punctured several times a week to hook patients up to the dialysis machine, and complications include blood clots, clogging and infection.

What’s more, patients often run out of suitable sites for these shunts as problems develop. Plastic versions have high rates of failure and complications, too. Doctors have long wished for a natural substitute.

The lab-grown vessels are free of artificial materials. They don’t involve stem cells, so they’re not controversial.

Researchers start with a snip of skin from the back of a hand, remove cells and grow them into sheets of tissue that are rolled up like straws to form blood vessels.

So far, these lab-grown vessels have been tolerated by the recipients’ immune systems; no anti-rejection medicine or tissue matching is needed. That’s not surprising because labgrown skin is already used to treat many burn victims.

“There are literally hundreds of thousands of patients that could use this technology,” McAllister said. year, nearly Each 400,000 Americans undergo dialysis and half of them use plastic shunts. More than 160,000 people lose limbs because of poor circulation that might be improved with lab-grown vessels.

About 300,000 people have heart bypass operations using blood vessels taken from other parts of the body to create detours around clogged heart arteries. Some heart patients say the leg wound from removing the long vein to create heart bypasses hurts more than the chest wound for the open-heart surgery.

DEAR ABBY: I am madly in love (infatuated?) with my surgeon. I had a bilateral mastectomy and he saved my life. The cancer is gone.

It has been almost a year, and I need to return for a checkup. I haven’t stopped thinking about “Dr. Dreamy” this entire year. We are both in our 40s; I’m single, he’s single.

Would it be unethical if I act on my feelings and let him know? Should I get another doctor? Or do I just go to the appointment and “grin and ‘bare’ it”? Help!

DEAR DAD: I can see how hearing about the enjoyable trips your son shares with you every summer might sting when your daughter hears about them. But does she expect that you include her husband on these trips and pay his way, too?

And what about the driving and luggage arrangements if her husband accompanies her? Also, if you invite only her, how would her husband feel about being left behind?

Her main concern is what people may think or say to her. I told her to simply say, “It’s my daughter’s business, and she’s old enough to make her own decisions.”

I’m upset by Mother’s reaction. She seems to think that because she gave me life she has the right to run it. I’m a mature, responsible adult who can make her own life decisions. What do you think?

SHACKING UP IN SYRACUSE DEAR SHACKING UP: I think that as a mature, responsible adult, you need to do what is right for you. Your mother comes from a generation when standards were more strait-laced and judgmental than they are today. So remember she loves you, forgive her for “going ballistic” and agree to disagree.

were. This is so sad, because this family history is lost forever.

Now is the time to visit with grandparents and other relatives and offer to help them identify their pictures and tell about that person. This is quality time to spend with an elderly relative.

If you would like copies of photos, you do not need to pay high prices; you can copy them yourself. All you need is a camera and good light. Just lay the picture flat in good lighting, focus as close as you can and take the picture.

Experiment, and you will be surprised at what good pictures you will get.

J.C.B., Lubbock, Texas UPDATE: This hint still will work, but you also can scan them or use a digital camera or your cellphone to take a photo. If your family member will let you, take the photos to drugstores or discount stores that have a photo department, and you can use the store’s equipment to make a copy.

One of my assistants has done lots of genealogical research and always stresses the fact that when older relatives pass on, so does the information they know. And if their photographs have not been labeled, that presents a problem.

Take the time to visit with older relatives and get any and all information, family history and photos that you can!

Dear Heloise: Attach the end label of the 35 mm film box to the back of the camera. With so many types of film now available, it is difficult to always remember what type is in the camera. It will make for better prints, because you will be using the film to its full advantage.

Eleanor B., Keene, N.H.

UPDATE: I wondered if 35 mm film was still being manufactured.

A large discount store (as well as a camera shop) said it still carries and develops 35 mm film. So, this is still a viable hint today.

Cyrus releases new album

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Billy Ray Cyrus’ life has seen a lot of upheaval in the past year.

He nearly got divorced, endured public scrutiny of his daughter Miley’s behavior and a resulting backlash over his parenting, and saw the end of “Hannah Montana,” the Disney phenomenon that changed the Cyruses lives forever.

But even though Cyrus has lived out his drama in the tabloids, he believes everyone can identify with his struggles.

“I’ve been through a lot,” Cyrus said. “That being said, I think people around the world can look at my life and say, ‘That guy is kind of just like us — peaks and valleys, ups and downs. That’s what I’ve lived. Somewhere along
