County to help mental health firm with rent

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer The Chaves County commissioners have approved agreements to assist the new taxpayer funded provider of mental health services in the county.

The agreements approved by the commissioners on Thursday allow the county to reimburse La Casa de Buena Salud for mental health services for indigent people in the county, and for the county to assist La Casa with leasing a building at 110 E. Mescalero Road, formerly occupied by Turquoise Health and Wellness.

La Casa de Buena Salud, the new provider of taxpayer funded mental health services in Chaves County, is leasing the former Turquoise Health and Wellness building at 110 E. Mescalero Road in Roswell. bad, Clovis and Tucumcari under the auspices of the New Mexico Department of Health, announced in early January it would no longer provide mental health services in Chaves County

after March 31.

La Casa de Buena Salud on April 1 assumed the role of providing taxpayer funded mental health services. La Casa is a Federal Qualified Health Center, a

federal reimbursement designation.

One agreement approved by the Chaves County commissioners Thursday amends a prior agreement with La Casa so that the

county may reimburse La Casa for mental health services. The county had an existing contract with La Casa to provide the county’s indigent residents with primary healthcare, preventative and educational services.

Another agreement approved by the commissioners Thursday allows the county to assist La Casa with the monthly rent at the Turquoise building at 110 E. Mescalero Road until the end of December.

The county will contribute $3,000 a month to F&H Investments of Roswell, while the city of Roswell will contribute $2,000 a month for La Casa to lease the 18,529-square-footbuilding.

La Casa will contribute $5,000 a month of the

$10,000 monthly rent.

“More than anything else, it’s to help them getting up and running with behavioral health,” said Chaves County Commissioner Will Cavin.

La Casa will provide behavioral health services at the former Turquoise building at least until the end of the year.

“This should help provide a smooth transition for the former clients of Turquoise to the new provider, La Casa,” states a county staff summary report of the agreement approved by the commissioners.

Seferino Montano, chief executive officer of Portales-based La Casa, told the Daily Record recentSee RENT, Page A3

Back in the trenches Bill Moffitt Story and Photos The veterans buried at the Gen. Douglas L. McBride Roswell Veterans Cemetery at South Park Cemetery probably thought they had seen the last of the trenches and sandbags when they left milItary service. Now a trench, lined with sandbags, as pictured below, protects their final resting place Thursday.

Right: Peggy Enokian-Mason can stand on solid ground again Thursday now that the water damage has been repaired at her husband’s grave.

“This is the grave that was on the front page of the paper (Sunday),” Enokian-Mason said. Nearly two inches of rain fell in the Roswell area over the weekend causing several graves at the Gen. Douglas L. McBride Roswell Veterans Cemetery to collapse and fill with water. The graves have now been refilled and a new trench is being constructed around the site to direct water to the retention pond. The veterans cemetery is located on the north side of South Park Cemetery on South Main Street. Enokian-Mason’s husband, Robert Lee Mason, was a boiler tech on the USS Piedmont during the Cold War. Her daughter, Jennifer Garcia, is shown standing next to her.

“He’s happy now, he has his flag back,” Enokian-Mason said.

underground nuclear waste repository could have been prevented.

The shortcomings of federal agencies and contractors were outlined in a final report released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Accident Investigation Board.

Like a separate team of experts, they too found that the release was caused by a chemical reaction inside a drum of waste that had been packaged at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The release contaminated workers and forced the indefinite closure of WIPP. Federal officials say it could take years and cost more than a half-billion dollars to reopen the repository.

Border Patrol: 7 in custody after chase in Deming area

DEMING (AP) — The Border Patrol says seven people were taken into custody in southern New Mexico following a chase of a pickup seen stopping along Interstate 10 in Deming to pick up people who emerged from the desert.

The Border Patrol said agents saw the vehicle make several U-turns on I-10 before and after it picked up the people on Monday.

The agents followed the vehicle when it got off I-10 in Deming and alerted other law enforcement agencies when the vehicle accelerated when the agents tried to pull it over.

The truck was disabled when a tire struck a curb.

The Border Patrol said the driver and six passengers who said they had illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border were taken into custody.

RFD Call Log — April 15-16 The Roswell Fire Department responded to these calls for the following dates:

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The state attorney general’s office has come out against a proposal by New Mexico’s largest electric utility to charge customers with new solar power systems a monthly fee to connect to the grid.

The office filed a motion earlier this week in support of dismissing Public Service Co. of New Mexico’s request.

Attorney General Hector Balderas also has asked state regulators to investigate the effects of distributed generation on the utility system.

Distributed generation refers to solar panels or wind turbines on homes and businesses that generate electricity and are connected to the grid.

PNM wants solar customers to pay what the utility says is their fair share for the costs of maintaining the grid. The fee could range from about $21 to $36 per month depending on the size of the system.

The U.S. Senate confirmed Norman Bay as a commissioner last summer.

Members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation announced Wednesday that he will serve as the panel’s chairman.

Bay previously served as director of the Office of Enforcement at FERC, a position he had held since 2009.

Sen. Martin Heinrich says energy is at the heart of almost every issue in the country and it’s a cornerstone of New Mexico’s economy. He says he’s certain Bay will support regulations aimed at building a strong energy industry.

Montano said his agency should be able to retain Turquoise’s phone number of 575-623-1480. Any calls made to Turquoise will be redirected to La Casa, he said.

Until then, La Casa will offer partial care through a drop-in program for mental health at its Roswell location at 1511 S. Grand Ave. Montano said behavioral health from La Casa will be considered a separate entity from La Casa Family Health Center, which provides indigent healthcare.

Road should help with the transition.

“One of the main concerns is the consistency of behavioral health services, because it creates really bad situations,” Cavin said.

“Anytime you’re changing up healthcare wise, it can cause a lot of stress for those individuals who are receiving the care.”

La Casa office manager Beatrice Rodriguez did not return a telephone call Thursday.

Mental health services in New Mexico have been in flux since 2013 when a total of 15 mental health service providers in the state had their contracts canceled after a five-month audit by the New Mexico Human Services Department revealed $36 million in overpayments to the 15 providers during a threeyear period.

The audit stated “errors and overpayments were so widespread that the business and billing practices of every provider warrants

careful scrutiny.” The audit also revealed “mismanagement, fraud, waste and abuse” in the treatment of potential suicide victims, including disregard for follow-up care and basic policies.

As a result of the audit, Medicaid payments stopped in June 2013 to all 15 providers.

Five companies from Arizona were contracted to manage behavioral health care services for patients in New Mexico. One of those five companies was Turquoise Health and Wellness.

Turquoise’s parent organization, Lifewell Behavioral Wellness, in January withdrew financial assistance that reached into the millions of dollars. Phoenix-based Lifewell was part of the audit.

of four years of supervised release. He remains detained pending a sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.

Madrid and Crosby, 21, were federally charged in January 2015 in a criminal complaint with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

According to the criminal complaint, Madrid and Crosby were arrested on related state charges on July 12 by the Eddy County Sheriff’s Office after deputies found about 125 grams of methamphetamine, several scales and pipes and other drug paraphernalia in a vehicle driv-

en by Madrid with Crosby as his passenger.

Madrid was arrested on the federal complaint in January. Crosby, who was arrested in February, has pleaded not guilty to the criminal complaint. Her trial date has yet to be scheduled.

The case was investigated by the Las Cruces office of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the Eddy County Sheriff’s Office and the Pecos Valley Drug Task Force, which is comprised of officers from the Eddy County Sheriff’s Office and the Artesia and Carlsbad police departments.

Earley, of Euless, faces felony charges of murder, tampering with evidence and kidnapping in the death of 30-year-old Emily Rebecca Lambert.

She was killed while in New Mexico to visit Earley, an oil field worker. Her body was found behind a ranch building near Loving on March 4, 2014.

Lambert was a teacher in Garland, Texas and the mother of two young daughters.

She reportedly had been dating Earley for only a few months when she was killed.

New Mexico has prohibited capital punishment since 2007.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Hillary’s run has a ‘47 percent’ problem

As Hillary Clinton starts her second run for the presidency, one statistic stands out: 47 percent.

Mitt Romney made that number notorious by saying that 47 percent of Americans “are dependent on government (and) believe that they are victims,” and so automatically will vote Democratic.

That quote helped sink Romney as a clueless rich guy, but Clinton has a different “47 percent” problem. That’s the number, according to the latest ABC/ Washington Post poll, who think Hillary “understands the problems of people like you.” Forty-eight percent say she doesn’t get it.

That question might sound vague, but political pros know how important it is. It tries to measure a critical set of qualities that include compassion and connectedness, sincerity and sensitivity.

If Clinton cannot convince more voters that she possesses those virtues, she will have a hard time winning the White House next year.

History reinforces this point.

Cokie and Steven Roberts Syndicated Columnists Even when Barack Obama’s re-election campaign was staggering under the burden of a stagnant economy and a 7.5 percent unemployment rate, the president always led Romney by double digits on the empathy index.

On Election Day, 21 percent told exit polls that their top concern was backing a candidate “who cares about people like me.”

Of those voters, four out of five supported Obama.

As longtime ABC pollster Gary Langer explains: “The sense that elected leaders understand the problems of average Americans can be an indispensable asset in election politics — it went a long way, for example, in lifting Barack Obama over Mitt Romney.”

Of course, issues matter, and

there will be plenty of time for Clinton to detail her views on war in the Middle East and wages in the Midwest. But after covering politics for more than 50 years, we believe strongly that Langer is right: Personality often trumps policy.

Choosing a president is a gut check for most voters. They know on some level that many of the issues facing the next president cannot be predicted with any certainty. The fight against terrorism was barely discussed during the 2000 campaign, for example, and yet after 9/11, the George W. Bush presidency was consumed by that battle.

That’s why voters so often focus on a candidate’s character. They want someone they can count on to protect their interests as new challenges emerge.

“Will voters find her honest, authentic and empathetic enough to entrust her with their futures?”

Dan Balz wrote of Hillary in The Washington Post. “Where Clinton’s candidacy is likely to rise or fall is on how the American people respond to her personally.”

This issue of personal appeal is often summed up in the ques-

tion: “Who would you rather have a beer with?” Likability is always a valuable trait in any politician, and Clinton has never scored well on the Warmth Meter.

But the beer trope trivializes what’s really at stake. A better question is, “Whom do you believe in?” Or put another way, “Who believes in you?”

Team Hillary clearly understands this. That’s why a memo written by campaign manager Robby Mook described her focus as “the everyday Americans who are trying to build a better life for themselves and their families.”

In the same vein, her introductory video starred those “everyday Americans,” not the Washington insiders or world leaders she knows so well. And then she drove to Iowa in a van, stopping for lunch at a Chipotle in Maumee, Ohio — where no one recognized her.

Connecting to those “everyday Americans” will not be easy. Even friendly critics have derided her campaign debut as contrived and phony. Post columnist Ruth Marcus called her video “relentlessly, insultingly vapid,” and comedian Jon Stewart compared it to

a “State Farm commercial gone viral.”

Langer describes another impediment: “Clinton may have a particular dilemma, one based on ingrained gender stereotypes: Experimental research shows that when women are perceived as competent and powerful, they are less apt to be seen as warm and friendly, compared with identically described men.”

Clinton starts with enormous strengths. She’s one of the most experienced candidates ever to seek the presidency, and the possibility of becoming the first female chief executive injects her campaign with an invaluable dose of energy and excitement.

Elections are always choices between two candidates, not votes of confidence, and Clinton beats every Republican hopeful by double digits in national polls (although swing state surveys are closer).

But come November of next year, if only 47 percent of the voters think Clinton understands them, she’ll be in trouble.

Editorial

President, Senate find agreement

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a bill Tuesday that would give Congress an up-or-down vote on whatever final agreement emerges from international negotiations to contain Iran’s nuclear program.

That the measure won the unanimous backing of the committee’s Republicans and Democrats portends similar bipartisan support on the Senate floor.

In fact, so overwhelming was the prevailing view of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle that any deal between the United States and Iran requires both their advice and consent, the bill might win passage in the upper chamber by a veto-proof margin.

With Senate Democrats having broken ranks with President Obama — who repeatedly threatened to veto legislation that subjects an Iran nuclear deal to a congressional vote — the White House on Tuesday said that the president will sign the compromise bill hammered out by Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Maryland Sen. Benjamin Cardin, the committee’s ranking Democrat.

The revised measure, which received the blessing of leaders in both parties, shortens congressional review of the Iran deal from 60 days to 30 days.

If lawmakers vote to reject the nuclear deal, the president would have 12 days to accept the vote or veto the bill. Should he choose the latter option, Congress would have 10 days to override the president’s veto.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that Mr. Obama is not “particularly thrilled” with the bill approved by the Foreign Relations Committee, but that he finds it more palatable than Sen. Corker’s previous version.

Well, we think that the White House recognized that the president was not only swimming against the political tide on Capitol Hill, but also against the tide of public opinion.

Indeed, more than 70 percent of Americans said that Congress should have a role in deciding whether the U.S. is a signatory to any Iran nuclear deal, according to a poll this week by USA Today and Suffolk University.

We understand that Mr. Obama would prefer to strike a unilateral deal with Iran, as he previously did with Cuba, on normalized relations, and China, on bilateral climate change mandates.

We are pleased that in the particular case of Iran, the president has, however grudgingly, accepted the will of both Congress and the American people.

Cruz’s views, and music, need a close look

Nobody who knows Ted Cruz — the Texas freshman senator who became the first official contestant for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination last month — doubts that he is very, very smart. That includes Cruz himself, whose emphatic confidence in his own superior intelligence has not always endeared him to colleagues and acquaintances (whose opinions of his personality are often profanely negative).

Yet while Cruz cleverly seeks to highlight the tea party persona that appeals to many Republican primary voters, he exposes the fraudulence of his ultra-right brand of “populism.”

Cruz announced his candidacy at Liberty University, a religious-right institution founded by the late Jerry Falwell. No doubt he chose the misnamed Liberty to underscore his commitment to the

Joe Conason

Syndicated Columnist political attitudes — “anti-elitist” and often opposed to scientific and intellectual inquiry — that the late reverend represented. To Falwell, secular education and the Enlightenment tradition of free thought always seemed suspiciously irreligious; at Liberty, creationism is a required course, the Young Democrats are outlawed and both students and faculty are rigorously censored. What could someone like Ted Cruz, a vocal advocate of First Amendment rights, honestly think about a place like Liberty?

In a further attempt to portray himself as a right-wing populist, Cruz now claims to be a country music fan — having changed preferences after 9/11, when he abandoned “classic rock” for country, which he suggested is more patriotic: “My music tastes changed on 9/11. I actually intellectually find this very curious, but on 9/11, I didn’t like how rock music responded. And country music — collectively — the way they responded, it resonated with me. And I have to say just at a gut level, I had an emotional reaction that says, ‘These are my people.’

And ever since 2001, I listen to country music,” he told CBS News — without naming a single artist or band.

Now every presidential candidate carefully cultivates a public personality by promoting and even adopting tastes that might resonate

with desired constituencies.

But there are few politicians whose image conflicts so sharply with his actual personality and real base of support.

Analyzing the Texan’s financial base as he entered the presidential arena, Bloomberg News revealed “surprising weakness when it comes to small donors.” Only 16 percent of Cruz donors gave less than $200, compared with 43 percent of the donors to his fellow tea party favorite Rand Paul. The funding that propelled him into the Senate came from groups like the billionaire-backed Club for Growth and the Washington-based tea party organizations. Need anyone be reminded of the policies favored by such interests? They oppose raising the minimum wage, or See CONASON, Page A5

Neuropathy usually a big pain in the foot DEAR DOCTOR K: I have neuropathy pain in my feet.

What can I do to relieve it?

DEAR READER: Neuropathy, or nerve damage, is a remarkably common problem.

I get asked lots of questions about it — both from readers of this column and from readers of the Harvard Health Letter, which I edit. It isn’t considered a major health problem by many doctors, because it isn’t potentially fatal. But, like many other problems not labeled as major by doctors, it sure can make people miserable and interfere with their lives.

Fortunately, there are several treatments that bring relief to most people who suf-

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate fer with this condition. There are different types of neuropathy, but I’ll assume you have the most common type, called axonal neuropathy.

Neuropathy affects many of the nerves in your body.

Each nerve is like a highway that connects your brain to the rest of your body. Sig-

nals from your brain travel down the nerves sending orders, such as the order for your muscles to move different parts of your body. Signals from your body travel up the nerves to your brain. When your fingers touch something, for example, signals from your fingers tell the brain how cold and how hard that thing is, and whether touching it causes pain.

The longer a nerve is, the more likely it is to be affected by neuropathy. The nerves connecting your brain to your legs and feet are the longest, so the symptoms of neuropathy almost always begin in and are worst in the feet.

The most common symp-

toms of neuropathy are numbness, burning, or unpleasant sensations that people have a hard time describing. The loss of sensation in the feet can cause problems with balance when walking. If you can’t tell where your weight is being carried (is it on your heels or the balls of your feet?) your brain gets confused.

Among the most common causes of neuropathy are diabetes, alcohol abuse, an underactive thyroid gland and some types of cancer chemotherapy. However, about one out of every four people with neuropathy has none of these See DR. K, Page A5

Stealth jihad affecting American culture

In 2008, 17-year-old Samantha Elauf was denied a sales job at the Tulsa Abercrombie & Fitch store. The case made its way to the Supreme Court and in February the court agreed that the retailer violated antidiscrimination laws when it denied her a job because her head scarf conflicted with the company’s dress code.

At issue in the case was whether Elauf needed to explicitly volunteer during her interview that she wore the head scarf for religious reasons. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. proposed a hypothetical: He envisioned four job applicants: “The first is a Sikh in a turban, the second a Hasidic Jew in a hat, a Muslim woman wearing a hijab and a Catholic nun in a habit.” Alito continued, “Now, do you think ... that those people have to say, ‘We just want to tell you, we’re dressed this way for a religious reason. We’re not just trying to make a fashion statement.’” The justice’s argument is flawed as the Muslim in his fable is not a cleric.

Moreover, nuns are not in the habit of working at the mall, even in Boca; rabbis never buy retail and the Army has already caved to PC and allowed a Sikh medical officer to wear a turban and grow a beard. So how does a 17-yearold have the resources and wherewithal to file a lawsuit that ascends to the highest court in the land? After all, the opportunity that she was alleged to have been discriminated against was just a part-time after-school mallgirl gig. Does the Supreme Court not have bigger fish to fry? Elauf was coached. The Equal Employ-

JERRY HECK Digesting The Elephant ment Opportunity Commission took Elauf’s case. The EEOC was formed following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a response to the institutional racism of that era.

Now the commission manufactures victims and enacts non-legislative law in order justify its continued existence.

The commission (eeoc.gov/) is comprised of five women, all Obama appointees. Constance Smith Barker was initially appointed by President Bush. P. David Lopez, the EEOC’s general counsel, commissioners Victoria A. Lipnic and Chai R. Feldblum were all recess appointments. The EECO of the Obama administration favors cases with feminist themes and the advancement of the homosexual agenda. Commissioner Feldblum wrote, “Protecting one group’s identity liberty may, at times, require that we burden others’ belief liberty. This is an inherent and irreconcilable reality of our complex society.”

Her presentation of “Gay Sex Is Morally Good” can be viewed at (youtube/uOghvpWTl_U). Elauf’s second champion is the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR operates freely in the U.S. judicial system and hijab cases are its bread and butter. CAIR provides top cover for

the Palestinian terror group the Islamic Resistance Movement.

Federal Judge Jorge A. Solis said that there was evidence to show that CAIR has an association with the Holy Land Foundation, Islamic Association for Palestine, and HAMAS. Also, the United Arab Emirates listed CAIR as a terrorist organization.

Zuhdi Jasser is the self-appointed “American Muslim activist for separation of mosque and state.” He is against the ideology of “political Islam.” By profession, Jasser is a medical doctor specializing in internal medicine. Additionally, he is a United States Navy veteran. He has been especially critical of CAIR, which according to Jasser, is focused on “victimology” and does not adequately condemn the goals of the terrorist groups. Moreover, Jasser asserts that CAIR has received “significant Saudi financing.”

CAIR acknowledged receiving $500,000 for a library project from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal. Writing last month on the Abercrombie con job, attorney and columnist Debbie Schlussel wrote, “Samantha Elauf: Muslima Behind HAMAS / CAIR Lawsuit Against Abercrombie Ain’t So Modest; What It’s Really About.” Schlussel questioned, “Does a not-so-modest Muslim girl get to pretend she’s modest in order to score a payday from a major clothing retail chain?

So, if Ms. Elauf is so concerned with this Islamic modesty, then why doesn’t she cover up all of her hair? She lets a good deal of it hang out in front on her forehead. Um, that might turn some

guy on and force him to rape her.

Oh, and she wears ripped jeans that expose skin on her thighs.

And she wears sheer lace miniskirts in the name of some (faux) modesty. She’s a fraud. A phony.”

Schlussel reported that she went undercover to mosques and saw women wearing niqabs—the full ninja face-veils—at an Islamic fundraiser, and the next week, the same women are in cropped tops and low-rise jeans. “They want to impose their standards of “modesty” upon the West, when many of them aren’t so modest at all,” she concluded.

America is under attack from the external threat of international jihad that is being conducted by the Islamofascists who have the goal of forming a repressive global caliphate. The response by the current U.S. regime is to appease the aggressors. America is under attack from the internal threat of international stealth jihad that is being conducted by the Islamofascists who have the goal of forming a repressive global caliphate. Stealth jihad is knowingly or unknowingly facilitated by the radical left through multiculturalism and political correctness. Stealth jihad is changing America from within by contorting laws to advance the newcomer at the expense of the citizen.

Stealth jihad is the camel’s nose under the tent. Stealth jihad is when schools stop serving ham and bacon so as not to offend and fathers and brothers cannot attend middle school swimming meets because one Pakistani man objects to having his daughter being seen in a swim suit during

Dr. K

Letters Dear editor, I have said this before and sometimes I just feel it needs to be said again.

This is in response to the letter from Russell A. Scott, regarding businesses being forced to serve homosexuals and his disdain for homosexuals.

First of all Mr. Scott, not everyone adheres to your religion or your beliefs. This is a country that extends freedoms to its people in many areas of life. I believe we all have the right to choose what we believe and how we believe whether it is the same path you are on or a path they choose. And guess what? Some paths include respecting others and not being judgmental. Some paths actually do love their neighbors as themselves and therefore, adhere to the idea of “live and let live.” I am always incredulous when people who are taught to “Love One Another” actually don’t. They decide it is OK to put down other religions, beliefs and lifestyles just because it isn’t their religion, belief or lifestyle.

Mr. Scott believes gay marriages are leading to the destruction of marriage and the family. Gay marriages are not yet even legal in all states, and if you look at divorce statistics going back many years, you will see that the destruction of marriages and families has been around long before gays sought the right to marry. There are a lot of factors that destroy marriages and families and I doubt that gay people getting married is at the top of the list. How does another couple getting married, gay or straight, affect my family? Seriously? “Take the log out of your own eye then

the competition. Stealth jihad is when activist judges and activist prosecutors practice social engineering and control private businesses. Stealth jihad is the policy of favoring Iran over Israel. Stealth jihad is the importation of hundreds of thousands of non-assimilating, unskilled, welfare-dependent Muslims. Stealth jihad is allowing niqabs to be worn while driving. Stealth jihad is the incongruous to e pluribus unum. Stealth jihad is a frog on slow boil. Stealth jihad is White House visits by the con man Imam Farra Louiskhan Abu Jackson ibin al-Sharpton.

With 247 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate, this Congress began with the largest Republican majority since the 71st Congress of 1929–31. Since the denying President and the lock-step Obama Akbar(!) chanting Democrats will not defend America it is up to the Republicans to do what we sent them to Washington to do, their duty.

you can take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.”

Straight couples have failed miserably when it comes to successful marriages. Focus some of your energy on that fact!

Allow me to throw your quote from philosopher William James right back at you: “Nothing is so absurd that it cannot be believed as truth if repeated often enough.” Tell me, does that also apply to your religious beliefs and years of hearing messages from the pulpit of your choice?

Ouch. Doesn’t seem like such a great quote now, with that shoe on your foot.

There was a time not too many years ago when the bakery owner was allowed to refuse service to a person based on color. Marriage between a black person and a white person could result in horrible consequences. People predicted the end of everything we consider sacred because they saw whites and blacks holding hands. Before you find some flimsy argument to discredit this comparison to homosexuality, allow me to tell you why it is more correct than you will admit: The only difference

between you Mr. Scott and a homosexual is what happens in the privacy of the bedroom. Yes, believe it or not, it all comes down to sex.

Gay people love, hate, have friends and enemies. They work at normal jobs, pay their bills, and buy homes, cars and puppies. They go out and they invite friends in. They raise kids, help with homework, and go to games.

They have straight and gay friends, attend church and pray. They have normal lives with loss and tears, joys and successes. They laugh, cry, love, die, bleed and heal. Look out, here it comes; they have physical relationships. But, do they judge you and your life by who you have a physical relationship with? Is what you do behind your bedroom door anyone’s business? Because that is the only difference I see and personally, I don’t care or think about the physical relationships of anyone, gay or straight. It is none of my business.

Would you like it if people judged you and decided what you can or can’t do based on your sexu-

al preferences? What is it Mr. Scott that bothers you so much about a gay person when most of their day is probably much like yours? They seek to enjoy the same freedoms and services that you do.

Why should they not be allowed to live and love as they choose, when you are allowed to? I am very sure that blacks asked this same question, but their restrictions were based on their color, rather than who they loved or how they lived.

You gave another quote: “Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant and then tries to silence good.”

To that I say, “Evil preaches intolerance and hate, discrimination and judgment and tries to silence love and fairness.” Your Bible, (Webster’s definition “3 [b-] any book regarded as authoritative or official”) is not the only authority in the world to a great many people, and therefore, should not be the only measure of truth, equality and how other people should be allowed to live.

known causes. If you have any of the known causes of neuropathy, the first thing to do is treat the cause.

If you’re diabetic, do everything you can to lower your blood sugar. If you drink too much, cut down.

If you have an underactive thyroid, take your thyroid pills as directed and get regular thyroid blood tests.

The most widely used medicines for reducing symptoms are an anticonvulsant — either gabapentin (Neurontin) or pregabalin (Lyrica) — and tricyclic drugs, including desipramine. Other anticonvulsants and drugs that decrease the number and

severity of muscle spasms also can be helpful, including phenytoin, carbamazepine, topiramate and baclofen.

Not all of these drugs help for everyone. But if you work closely with your doctor, the odds are good that you can find one that will give you considerable relief.

Homeland chief: Gyrocopter came in ‘under the radar’

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Florida postal carrier charged Thursday with two federal crimes for steering his small gyrocopter through protected Washington airspace “literally flew under the radar” to the lawn of the Capitol, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said as key lawmakers raised alarms about security risks.

Doug Hughes, 61, was charged with violating restricted airspace and operating an unregistered aircraft, crimes that carry penalties of up to four years in prison and fines. He was released from custody and allowed to return to Florida on home detention. A federal magistrate judge ordered him not to fly any aircraft and told him to stay away from Washington except for court visits and keep clear of the White House and Capitol while in town.

Hughes’ stunt, aimed at drawing attention to the need for campaign finance reform, exposed a seam in the U.S. government’s efforts to protect the White House, Capitol and other vital federal buildings.

The stunt caused no injuries and few disruptions as Hughes flew in low and slow, landing between the Capitol and its reflecting pool in broad daylight on Wednesday. But lawmakers demanded explanations for how he managed to remain undetected as he flew the

Police arrested a man who steered his tiny, one-person helicopter onto the West Lawn, astonishing spring tourists and prompting a temporary lockdown of the Capitol Visitor Center. Capitol Police didn’t immediately identify the pilot or comment on his motive, but a Florida postal carrier named Doug Hughes took responsibility for the stunt on a website where he said he was delivering letters to all 535 members of Congress in order to draw attention to campaign finance corruption. lightweight craft all the way to Capitol Hill from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Concerns were only magnified by the confirmation that Hughes was interviewed in 2013 by the U.S. Secret Service, which apparently determined he did not pose a threat, according to Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

“I think that there’s absolutely a gap, and it’s a very dangerous gap, with regard to our airspace,” Cummings said. “I don’t want people to get a message that they can just land anywhere. Suppose there was a bomb or an explosive device on that air vehicle? That could have been a major catastrophe.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the incident “stunning,” and Rep. Michael McCaul,

R-Texas, who chairs the House Committee on Homeland Security, said he would consider holding hearings.

“These small aircraft or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) devices concern me because they could go undetected and cause damage, so that’s something we’re taking a look at,” McCaul said.

But Johnson said it’s too soon to say whether security changes are needed.

Obama signs Medicare payment overhaul WASHINGTON (AP) — Ending years of last-minute fixes, President Barack Obama on Thursday signed legislation permanently changing how Medicare pays doctors, a rare bipartisan achievement by Democrats and Republicans.

The bill overhauls a 1997 law that aimed to slow Medicare’s growth by limiting reimbursements to doctors. Instead, doctors threatened to leave the Medicare program, and that forced Congress repeatedly to block those reductions.

Obama signed the legislation Thursday in front of reporters and photographers, sitting alone and coatless in balmy spring weather on the patio of the White House Rose Garden.

The Senate passed the bill two days ago; the House approved it in March.

Obama praised Republican House Speaker John Boehner and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi for negotiating the legislation.

He said the new law helps Medicare by giving assurance to doctors about their payments.

“It also improves it because it starts encouraging payments based on quality, not the number of tests that are provided or the number of procedures that are applied but wheth-

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio shakes hands with Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, right, after he signs a bipartisan bill which blocks cuts in Medicare payments that was due to take effect this month, and it revamps how physicians will be paid in the future, Thursday, on Capitol Hill in Washington. er or not people actually start feeling better,” Obama said. “It encourages us to continue to make the system better without denying service.”

The bill blocked a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments that was due to take effect this month. It also revamps how physicians will be paid in the future, by providing financial incentives for physicians to bill Medicare patients for their overall care, not individual office visits.

Noting the unusual bipartisan nature of the bill, Obama said, “I hope this becomes a habit.”

In Congress, Boehner praised Pelosi for “her indispensable leadership in helping tackle these challenging issues.”

“It was achieved by working together to find common ground,” Boehner said Thursday at a ceremonial appearance with Pelosi, who’s more typically his legislative antagonist.

Obama said he planned to hold a reception for lawmakers next week to salute them for their work.

He said he wanted to sign the bill promptly to avoid reduced reimbursements to doctors.

Obama nominates African ambassador WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has nominated a career foreign service officer to become the U.S. ambassador to the Central African Republic.

Jeffrey Hawkins Jr. has been the consul general at the U.S. Consulate in Lagos, Nigeria, since 2012.

Obama announced the nomination on Thursday.

Senate confirmation is required. Hawkins has also served in Angola, France, Brunei, Afghanistan, Ivory

Coast, India and Pakistan.

The Central African Republic has been ravaged by sectarian violence since 2013, when mostly Muslim Seleka rebels seized power.

Their brutal rule led to the rise of Christian militias that retaliated by unleashing a wave of violence against Muslims. United Nations and French troops are currently trying to stabilize the country.

passage, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that without action, it would start making payments at the lower rates on Wednesday.

But the agency said Thursday it was already making most payments at the new full rates, even ahead of the president’s signature.

That’s a different scenario than federal officials and lawmakers described earlier this week, when Senate and House leaders were fending off 11th-hour objections and shepherding the legislation to final congressional approval.

Congressional leaders warned lawmakers to act quickly to prevent those cuts from taking effect.

The Centers process about 4 million claims daily — enough to potentially trigger a flood of complaints from doctors and Medicare’s elderly beneficiaries that legislators wanted to avoid.

In a written statement to health care providers, the agency said only “a small volume of claims” are being processed at the lower levels. Those payments will later be reprocessed so providers receive their full fees, the agency said.

Congressman admits to having relationship with airline lobbyist

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House committee that handles aviation legislation acknowledged Thursday that he has a “private and personal relationship” with an airline industry lobbyist.

Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said Shelley Rubino, a vice president for global government affairs at Airlines for America, a trade association for major U.S. airlines, doesn’t lobby him or his staff.

“Ms. Rubino and I have a private and personal relationship, and out of respect for her and my family that is all I will say about that,” Shuster said.

Rubino did not immediately respond to a phone message left with her lobbying firm or messages The Associated Press sent to her private and professional email accounts.

A spokeswoman for the trade association, Jean Medina, also said Rubino does not lobby Shuster.

She said that the association’s president and CEO, Nick Calio, is the chief person who lobbies Shuster for the organization. Calio “has a longstanding relationship with Chairman Shuster, as he did with his father before him,” she said.

Shuster represents the same congressional district that was represented by his father, Bud Shuster, who also was the transportation committee chairman. Bud Shuster resigned from the House in early 2001, just months after the House ethics committee rebuked him for “serious official misconduct” involving his close relationship with a former top staffer-turned-lobbyist, Ann Eppard.

The committee found that Bud Shuster engaged in a “pattern and practice” of allowing Eppard to represent clients before his committee within less than one year after leaving the committee’s staff.

Shuster reportedly stayed at Eppard’s house when in Washington.

Bill Shuster, who is divorced, was the top House recipient of airline industry contributions last year, receiving $128,350 in donations, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Shuster’s staff is writing a bill of keen interest to airlines dealing with Federal Aviation Administration programs, and he has also

supported several of the industry’s top priorities in Congress.

Rubino is listed by the trade association as one of its lobbyists in disclosure forms filed with Congress.

The association paid her nearly $460,000 in salary and benefits in 2013, according to tax records.

Shuster recently hired Chris Brown, the trade association’s vice president for legislative and regulatory policy, to be staff director on the subcommittee that is writing the FAA bill.

Congress typically reauthorizes FAA programs every four to six years. Among the issues the bill is expected to deal with are the agency’s plans to modernize the nation’s air traffic control system and whether operation of that system should be transferred to a private company controlled by the airline industry.

Shuster’s aviation agenda has closely matched the priorities of Airlines for America. He’s the sponsor of a bill the House passed to roll back a Transportation Department regulation that requires airlines to display the full price of an airline ticket inclusive of taxes and fees in advertising and on websites where tickets are sold.

He also has expressed support for the U.S. airline industry’s position in its battle with Persian Gulf air carriers, which it accuses of exploiting government subsidies. U.S. airlines want the government to restrict the Gulf carriers’ access to the U.S. market.

The carriers are big customers of aircraft maker Boeing, the U.S.’s largest exporter.

Shuster has also spoken out against new taxes on the airline industry in general. Some lawmakers have urged taxing the billions of dollars airlines earn from baggage and other fees, which are not taxed.

And he has reiterated Airlines for America’s call for a “national airline policy” — essentially a government effort to promote the financial health of airlines and reduce their taxes, fees and regulation.

Shuster’s relationship with Rubino was first reported by Politico.

bus catches fire GARLAND, Texas (AP) — A tour bus for country group Lady Antebellum caught fire along an interstate near Dallas, though no one was injured.

Singer Hillary Scott posted on the group’s Facebook page that she, her husband, their tour manager and the driver were on the Dallas-bound bus when a tire caught fire Thursday.

Photos show the back of the bus badly burned. Scott says everyone evacuated, writing “EVERYONE IS SAFE AND SOUND.” Garland police say the driver stopped the bus after the tire blew on Interstate 30 east of Dallas, and confirmed nobody was hurt.

WikiLeaks creates online archive of hacked Sony documents NEW YORK (AP) — Sony’s hacking problems aren’t over yet.

Whistleblower site WikiLeaks on Thursday put hundreds of thousands of emails and documents from last year’s crippling cyberattack against Sony Pictures Entertainment into a searchable online archive. It’s the latest blow for

the entertainment and technology company struggling to get past the attack, which the company estimates caused millions in damage.

The website founded by Julian Assange said that its database includes more than 170,000 emails from Sony Pictures and a subsidiary, plus more than 30,000

other documents.

Sony Pictures blasted WikiLeaks for creating the archive, saying the website was helping the hackers disseminate stolen information.

“We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks’ assertion that this material belongs in the public domain,” the company said in a statement.

But Assange said the documents should be available to the public.

“This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation,” Assange said.

“It is newsworthy and at the center of a geo-political conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there.”

Lady Coyotes sweep Lovington, set stage for first-place battle between Roswell and Goddard

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor

The Lady Coyotes’ varsity softball team swept visiting Lovington in a district doubleheader Thursday evening to set up a showdown for first place in District 4-5A next week between crosstown rivals Roswell and Goddard.

Roswell (13-5, 3-1) won game one 6-5 on a thrilling seventh-inning walk-off home run, before dispatching the Wildcats (3-15, 0-4) a bit more easily in the nightcap by a score of 15-9.

“Lovington’s crafty,” said Roswell coach Art Sandoval.

“We knew not to take them lightly coming in. They were scrappy, and I’m not going to lie, we worked for it, every bit of it. Two big wins for us.”

Roswell 6 Lovington 5

In game one, Roswell got on the board first when it plated a pair of runs in the second inning.

But Lovington would counter with a 4-spot in the fourth inning to push ahead 4-2.

The Lady Coyotes would then come back with three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to regain the lead at 5-4.

In the top of the seventh, the Wildcats pushed across another run to tie the contest at 5-5 all, sending the game to the bottom of the seventh, where the Lady Coyotes had a chance to win.

Senior CeeAudra Mein came to the dish in the bottom of the seventh with a chance to win the game, and didn’t disappoint, as she blasted a home run down the line that stayed

fair “by two inches” according to Roswell coach Art Sandoval, giving the Lady Coyotes the thrilling walkoff win.

“She turned on an inside fastball and just hit it out of the park,” Sandoval said. “It was kind of neat to see. Our senior came through for us.

She’s been in this position before and she did a good job. The fans went crazy. It was nice.”

Mein finished 2-for-4 in game one, which included the walk-off homer. Sheyanne Sandoval and Mykaela Olivas were both 2-for-4, while seniors Vanessa Garcia and Isabella Cain were both 1-for-4 with an RBI apiece. Kianna Reese was 1-for-3 with an RBI. Mykaya Olivas got the start on the mound for the Lady Coyotes, and earned the complete game win as she worked around three walks and two home runs to earn the victory. Olivas also struck out 3, and was 2-for-4 at the plate.

Roswell 15 Lovington 9

Roswell picked up right where it left off in game two, pushing six runs across in the bottom of the first, after Lovington had tallied a pair in the top half.

The Lady Coyotes would add another in the third to make it 7-2, but Lovington answered with a six-run third to take the lead at 8-7.

Roswell came back with a pair of runs in the fourth to make it 9-8 in favor of the Lady Coyotes, but the Wildcats squared the game again at 9 when they plated a run in the top of the fifth.

Roswell starting pitcher Mykaya Olivas delivers a pitch during a district doubleheader against Lovington Thursday evening at Roswell High School. a double into the left-field gap to empty the previously-loaded bases and give Roswell a 13-9 lead.

The Lady Coyotes would add another pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth, and Lovington wouldn’t score again, leaving the final score at 15-9 in favor of Roswell.

Sandoval led the way offensively for the Lady Coyotes in game two, as she finished 3-for-4 at the plate, which included two doubles and 5-RBIs. She was also hit by a pitch twice.

“That’s big for her,”

Coach Sandoval said.

“Sheyanne really came through for us in the fifth inning. She hit the ball well and was on fire defensively.

I was really proud of her for that.”

Senior Priscilla Lucero helped out by going 2-for4 with a walk and 3-RBIs, while Mein, the hero from game one, finished 3-for5 with 2-RBIs. Cain was 2-for-4.

Mykaya Olivas again got the start for Roswell, but was relieved by her sister Jordan Olivas after 2 1 / 3 innings. Olivas would throw

2 2 / 3 frames before being replaced by Sammy Rodriguez, who pitched a scoreless final two innings.

“It was really a team effort,” said Sandoval, who was able to get all 15 of his players into game two.

“I literally used the entire bench, and it was a contribution from all. It’s nice to see that we have our bench, our pitchers, everybody contributing, and I applaud each and every one of my players on the roster today.

I could literally say a little something about everybody.

It was nice to see.”

With the sweep, the Lady Coyotes now sit in a 3-way tie with Goddard and Artesia for first place in District 4-5A. Roswell and the Lady Rockets are slated to square off next Tuesday in a crucial district doubleheader at Goddard High School that could ultimately play a substantial role in deciding the district champion this season.

“We go to Goddard Tuesday and that’s going to be a war, I’m sure,” Sandoval said.

Dexter Demons fall at home to Ruidoso 10-9 in extra innings

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor Dexter’s varsity baseball team nearly erased an early seven-run deficit against visiting Ruidoso Thursday evening, but ended up falling 10-9 to the Warriors in extra innings.

“The first inning is pretty much what did us

in,” said Dexter coach Arturo Duran.

After allowing seven Ruidoso runs in the first inning, Dexter (12-8, 5-0) chipped away at the Warrior lead for the next six frames, until eventually tying the game at 9-all in the seventh and final inning of regulation.

But Ruidoso was able to scratch across a lone

run in the top of the eighth, and the Demons were unable to answer in their half of the inning, giving the Warriors the victory.

Dayton Harris got the start and pitched the first three innings for Dexter, before being relieved by David Miramontes in the fourth inning.

Miramontes was also

a factor at the plate for the Demons, as the lone eighth-grader on the team was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs. Junior Raul Duran was 1-for-3 with 2-RBIs of his own.

Coach Duran said that despite falling behind early, he was actually rather encouraged by how his team showed resolve and fought their way

back into the game to tie it at 9 in the seventh inning.

“That’s exactly what we told them after the game,” Duran said. “Any team could have just given up right there after the first.

But the guys fought back and gave themselves a chance to win it there.

We just came up a bit short. We can’t give up

seven runs to one of the best teams in 4A baseball right now.”

Dexter will return to the diamond and district-play Saturday when the Demons travel to Eunice to take on the Cardinals in a district doubleheader match-up.

First pitch of game one is slated for 11 a.m.

the lead to 3-1 on a an RBI-single from Cheyenne Lopez in the third, and then made it 5-2 after four innings following RBI-doubles from both Jackie Dacanay and Bianca Banda. Dacanay would end up 3-for-4, while controlling the catching duties for the Lady Rockets.

The Bulldogs would slowly come back though. They added two runs in the top of fifth as they took advantage of two doubles and an error to make it 5-4 on the windy evening.

The Lady Rockets had a prime opportunity to add to their lead in the bottom of the sixth with the bases loaded and only one out, See GODDARD, Page B2

Goddard’s Desi Flores attempts to lay down a bunt during a doubleheader against Artesia Thursday evening at Goddard High School.

The Lady Rockets had a major meltdown in the final inning as they lost a 5-4 lead while giving up five runs to end their seven-game winning streak.

Both teams ended up with 10 hits apiece, but the Bulldogs’ came in the right moments.

The Lady Rockets would score at least one run in each of the first four innings to take a 5-2 lead into the fifth, but could not hold on as the Bulldogs rode the hot hitting of senior Vinnie Olivas, who went 3-for-3 and had a key seventh inning walk.

The Lady Rockets tied the game in the bottom of the first thanks to a Bulldog error – one of four in the game – and then took the lead in the second on an RBI-single by No. 9 hitter Desi Flores. Flores would finish 2-for-3 and come up big in the second game.

FOOTBALL National Football League NFL — Reinstated Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson, effective April 17.

NFL reinstates Adrian Peterson from suspension

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Adrian Peterson has been cleared to return to the NFL. Now all that remains to be settled is where he will play next season.

Commissioner Roger Goodell sent the Minnesota Vikings star a letter on Thursday advising him of his reinstatement. Peterson missed most of last season while facing child abuse charges in Texas.

Goodell wrote that Peterson will have to fulfill all the obligations of his plea deal that reduced a felony charge to a misdemeanor.

Goodell also told Peterson he would have to continue attending counseling while adhering to the league’s new personal conduct policy to avoid further discipline.

“Any further violation of the personal conduct policy by Peterson would result in additional discipline, which could include suspension without pay or banishment from the NFL,” the league said.

Peterson’s agent has said the star running back wants to play elsewhere next season. But the Vikings say they have no

plans to trade him.

“We look forward to Adrian re-joining the Vikings,” the team said in a statement issued after the announcement.

Peterson was indicted on abuse charges after inflicting injuries on his 4-yearold son with a wooden switch. He played the opener against St. Louis, then sat out the remaining 15 games of the season while tangling with the league over the discipline.

Harold Henderson, a league-appointed arbitrator, rejected Peterson’s appeal and upheld the suspension in December.

The NFLPA’s petition in federal court to overrule Henderson was granted by U.S. District Judge David Doty, who ordered the appeal back to the NFL for re-arbitration. The league promptly appealed Doty’s decision to a higher court.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals won’t hear that case for months, so those proceedings will be merely for principle in the ongoing dispute between NFL owners and players over protocol and fairness of the personal conduct policy.

but back-to-back nice plays by the shortstop and the second baseman left them loaded with no further damage.

Goddard coach Jay Edgett stated that the sixth inning was a major turning point.

“When we had bases loaded and couldn’t punch anything across, even though we had that one run lead, I felt that was big,” Edgett said. “Not to take anything away from Artesia in their seventh inning – they hit and we made some mental mistakes and they took advantage of it.”

The aforementioned seventh-inning disaster consisted of two singles, three walks, one hit batsman, and an error. The Lady Rockets went meekly in the final frame and the Bulldogs had the victory.

Goddard 2 Artesia 0

Goddard shook off the disappointment from the opening contest to play much better and gain the 2-0 shutout in game two.

The Lady Rockets rode the

pitching of senior Danielle Hubbard and got another big hit from an unlikely source.

Hubbard would finish with the complete game shutout win, allowing only three singles while striking out four. The Bulldogs would manage to get runners on base in every inning but the seventh, but could never manage the big hit as Goddard escaped in every one of those innings.

Hubbard was rarely in any real trouble, except during the second when she plunked three batters to load the bases, but got out of the jam thanks to a nice catch by center fielder Mileena Sanchez.

Despite the plethora of hit batsmen, Edgett was pleased with his senior hurler.

“Artesia was crowding the plate which led to some hit people,” Edgett said. “It takes away our inside pitch and so we pitch outside and they hit it. They were having trouble with Danielle’s speed and they had only three hits.”

The only runs would come in the fourth inning.

Lopez would open with a double and Amber Aguilar would get hit by a pitch.

Both would later score on an RBI-double by Flores.

The No. 9 hitter would give Hubbard all the run support she would need as she continued to cruise through the final innings.

“We’ve had different players step up and come through offensively through the season,” Edgett said.

“And Desi (Flores) went and filled that role tonight.

She came up and I told her to hit the ball and she gets a double and scores two. That’s exactly what we needed at that point for sure.”

Flores would also make a crucial out in the sixth inning as she would tag out a Lady Bulldog attempting to steal second with a runner on third.

With the win, the Lady Rockets move to 14-4 on the season and have a few days off before the big game with crosstown rival Roswell High on Tuesday.

municate with him, but the announcement Thursday means he’s finally in the clear to take the field again.

The question, then, is

what colors he’ll be wearing this fall.

Despite several cordial meetings with Vikings officials, Peterson’s public stance on returning to the only NFL team he has ever played for has been uneasy at best.

In his statement the day of Doty’s ruling, Peterson thanked fans, the NFLPA, the union’s lead lawyer and his agents but never mentioned the Vikings.

One of his agents, Ben Dogra, took the stance a step further in March by declaring that Peterson no longer wanted to return to Minnesota, setting up a stare-down of sorts between the two sides.

“You make tough choices in life. We clearly understand he’s under contract with the Vikings.

After several discussions and much thought, I believe that it’s not in his best interest to resume his career in Minnesota,” Dogra said last month. “It might be best for all parties involved for him to resume his career elsewhere.”

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has told

Dogra he doesn’t plan to release Peterson, who recently turned 30.

“They have not given us one compelling reason why it’s in his best interest to remain as part of the Minnesota Vikings,” Dogra said.

The Vikings have leverage with Peterson’s contract, which covers the next three years including a $12.75 million salary for 2015. None of the remaining money on the deal, however, is guaranteed.

If they’re serious about not trading the franchise player, the Vikings could conceivably sit tight all spring and summer and not have to pay Peterson at all, given that player paychecks don’t go out until the regular season games begin.

Peterson has a $250,000 workout bonus in his contract, but if he’s not interested in playing for the Vikings anymore, he’s surely not going to attend their offseason training program when he lives near Houston. He’d be subject to fines if he were to skip the mandatory minicamp in June.

Jewell Loyd taken first in WNBA draft UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Jewell Loyd and Amanda Zahui B. shared a hug after they were taken with the top two picks in the WNBA draft. The underclassmen’s decisions to turn pro were justified.

Loyd went first to the Seattle Storm, and Zahui B. was taken second by the Tulsa Shock on Thursday night.

“For me, it was the best thing,” Loyd said about skipping her senior year at Notre Dame. “For (Zahui), it was the best thing for her.”

Zahui B., who is a redshirt sophomore at Minnesota, said she doesn’t know if this will be a trend with underclassmen turning pro. The league has strict rules and both players were eligible because they will turn 22 this year.

“I’m not really sure, both me and Jewell are very unique players,” Zahui B. said. “Whoever wants to do it, be sure about it. Make sure you’re happy. This feeling is amazing.”

Loyd was the first Notre Dame player to be taken No. 1, an honor that Loyd said jokingly she will remind former teammate Skylar Diggins of. Diggins was taken third by Tulsa two years ago.

Notre Dame’s Jewell Loyd, right, holds up a Seattle Storm jersey with WNBA president Laurel J. Richie after the Storm selected Loyd as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA basketball draft, Thursday in Uncasville, Conn.

“It’s humbling going No. 1,” Loyd said.

In Seattle, Loyd will be joined by UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who was taken third by the Storm.

“It’s great going back to the West Coast,” said Mosqueda-Lewis, who was born in California. “It definitely will be easier for my family to see me play.”

Duke senior Elizabeth Williams went fourth to the Connecticut Sun. Chicago took former Middle Tennessee State player Cheyenne Parker with the fifth

pick. Parker was dismissed from Middle Tennessee State in late February for a failed drug test for marijuana.

Dearica Hamby was picked sixth by San Antonio, making her the first Wake Forest player to be taken in the WNBA draft.

“It’s a great feeling, I’m glad I could be the person to be the stepping stone for Wake,” Hamby said. “I definitely think it’s a stepping stone. You don’t have to go to some big time school to be successful.”

Warriors? Cavs? Spurs? No clear NBA Finals favorite

By Brian Mahoney AP Basketball Writer

Sweet-shooting Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have the best record, an unmatched home-court advantage, and the understanding that means nothing now.

“We had a great home record and did some historic things, but that doesn’t get you any extra points in the playoffs,” Curry said.

The Warriors (67-15) were the NBA’s best this season. LeBron James has been on top before, though never in Cleveland. And don’t forget the Spurs, even though you have to look far down the West standings to find them.

When the NBA postseason opens this weekend, there will be plenty of championship contenders but perhaps no clear favorite.

“I got no idea who’s

going to win the championship. This is the most convoluted I’ve ever seen the NBA as far as, I’ve got no idea,” Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley said.

With James gone from Miami, so are the days of penciling in one half of the NBA Finals matchup. The Heat reached the last four finals, winning two of them, before James returned to Cleveland last July.

The Cavaliers don’t even have the best record in the Eastern Conference, finishing in second place behind Atlanta. But they have rolled through the second half of the season so easily that it’s hard not to consider this No. 2 as the one.

“We have an opportunity to do something special and that kicks off this weekend,” James said.

The Cavaliers start Sunday against Boston, a

familiar foe for James and the one that ended his last postseason in a Cavaliers uniform.

The playoffs begin Saturday with four games: Washington visits Toronto in the opener before the Warriors, 39-2 at home during the regular season, host Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans.

After that come two short trips: Milwaukee travels to Chicago and Dallas heads to Houston.

On Sunday, Atlanta hosts Brooklyn, Portland visits Memphis, and the Los Angeles Clippers welcome San Antonio for the opener of what appears to be the marquee first-round series.

The Spurs’ beautiful basketball overwhelmed James and the Heat in last year’s finals and carried them to 21 wins in their final 25 games this season — and couldn’t put a dent in their deficit in the West

standings. They ended up with the No. 6 seed after losing in New Orleans on the final night of the regular season, with a 55-27 record that was a game worse than the Clippers, who surged to a 56-26 finish with seven straight victories.

“We’d love to have been in the 2 or 3 seeds — whatever it may be — and started at home,” the Spurs’ Tim Duncan said.

“But we have been on just about every route possible throughout the years. This will be another journey, and hopefully it will be a fun one.”

That’s what the Warriors want. And with an MVP favorite in Curry, another All-Star in the backcourt in Klay Thompson and a deep bench, they have everything needed to make it happen.

“It’s time to go and we are ready,” Curry said.

Jordan Spieth struggles in 1st round following Masters win

AP Photo

Jordan Spieth tees off on the first hole during the first round of the RBC Heritage Classic Thursday at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — It’s been quite some time since Jordan Spieth had to explain a performance this poor.

The Masters champion had a post-Masters letdown in the opening round Thursday, shooting 3-over 74 to end his run of 16 straight rounds under par.

He blamed it all on himself — and not the two-day celebratory media tour in New York this week.

“I didn’t drive the ball well, didn’t particularly strike my irons well.

My chipping and putting weren’t there,” he said. “It was just an off day.”

And the sort of performance that stands in stark contrast with how Spieth played the past month. He won the Valspar Championship, finished second at the Texas Open and lost a playoff in the Houston Open before capturing the green jacket and his first major championship at Augusta National.

It was a lot to ask of anyone to come back just as strong, let alone a 21-yearold who hadn’t gone through it before.

“No excuses, I just didn’t have it today,” he said.

He better have it on Friday if he hopes to hang around for the weekend.

Spieth stands eight shots behind Graeme McDowell and Matt Every, tied for the top at 5-under 66.

“Got a good feeling about tomorrow,” Spieth said.

“Feel like I got some swings in, got in somewhat of a rhythm and can at least go out and feel the shots.”

Don’t bet against the young Texan.

He got into Sea Pines Resort late Tuesday night after some 25 appearances and interviews in New York, including an appearance with David Letterman and seeing the view atop the Empire State Building. He acknowledged his preparation this week had suffered.

Spieth was greeted by a large gallery on the first tee, crowds five and six deep stretching cellphones to snap pictures and get video footage. “Way to go, Jordan,” someone shouted after his tee shot.

The applause continued throughout the round and, while Spieth appreciated

the sentiment, had difficulty concentrating on his game.

“I was upset about missing the green and then there was a standing ovation walking up,” he said.

“It’s like, ‘Thank you. I just hit a terrible shot. Thanks.’

So it was kind of tough to find the balance there.”

It was clear, though, this would not be the Spieth who tied the Masters’ scoring mark of 18-under 270 set by Tiger Woods in 1997.

He was in perfect position on the par-5 second, which played the easiest in round one, when he left his approach shot short and in the bunker. Spieth could not make an 8-footer to save birdie. He was short of the green again on the par-4 sixth hole, leading to the first of three bogeys — Spieth had just one bogey in his first 36 holes at Augusta National.

The wheels truly came off at the par-3 14th when Spieth hit into the water and watched his third shot spin back about 15 feet from the cup. He made a double-bogey 5.

He hasn’t had many days

like this in 2015 — and neither had McDowell, who hadn’t shot lower than 71 in his previous 12 rounds, including all four at last week’s Masters when he tied for 52nd.

McDowell, though, found his game on the layout’s tight fairways and small greens. He had six birdies after an opening bogey to move in front.

“It was great to feel comfortable out there today, see my lines, hit my speeds and make a few putts,” said McDowell, who has not won on tour since taking this title in 2013.

It’s been a strange season for Every, who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last month yet hadn’t finished better than 27th in any of his 11 other events.

He had birdies on four of his final eight holes, including a 50-foot chip in on the sixth hole and a 20-foot chip in on the seventh, to tie McDowell. Every stayed in the lead when he chipped to a foot on the eighth hole to save par.

“I’ll take it any way I can get it,” he said.

Michael Phelps competes in the 100 meter butterfly preliminary, Thursday at the Arena Pro Swim Series in Mesa, Ariz.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Michael Phelps qualified fastest in the 100-meter butterfly Thursday at his first meet in eight months.

The 18-time Olympic gold medalist touched first in 52.92 seconds at the meet in a Phoenix suburb.

Phelps has returned to competition for the first time since serving a sixmonth suspension for his second drunken driving arrest. It’s his first meet since the Pan Pacifi c C h a m p io n s h ip s la s t August.

Tim Phillips was second-fastest in 53.02, followed by Phelps’ longtime rival Ryan Lochte in 53.17.

Phelps was third at the halfway mark before rallying to win his heat. The top eight advanced to the evening final at Skyline Aquatic Center.

“It was just weird racing because it’s been so long,” he said. “I can pick apart the race 100 different ways, but just getting in the water and racing was something I was looking forward to.”

He was cheered on by his mother Debbie and fiancee Nicole Johnson.

Phelps owns the world record of 49.82 set in 2009 during the height of the high-tech suit era.

Those suits were later banned and he is swimming in an Xpresso suit from his signature “MP” line that debuted this week. He is a three-time Olympic champion in the 100 fly.

He is entered in four other events this weekend.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A former Florida State University student on Thursday filed a lawsuit against top NFL prospect Jameis Winston, saying he assaulted and raped her at an off-campus apartment in 2012.

The lawsuit by Erica Kinsman, which seeks damages from the former Seminoles quarterback, was filed two weeks before the April 30 NFL draft. Winston could be selected as the first overall pick.

Winston has denied the allegations and prosecutors declined to file charges against him in late 2013. He also was cleared by the university following a two-day student conduct hearing last year. The hearing was held to determine whether Winston violated four sections of the code of conduct — two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment.

But John Clune, a lawyer for Kinsman, said in a statement there are consequences for Winston’s behavior “and since others have refused to hold him accountable, our client will.”

“Erica hopes to show other survivors the strength and empowerment that can come from refusing to stay silent no matter what forces are against you,” Clune said.

“Jameis Winston in contrast has proven time and time again to be an entitled athlete who believes he can take what he wants. He took something here that he was not entitled to and he hurt

The AP generally does not routinely identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault. However, Kinsman has told her story publicly in a documentary.

The lawsuit, which goes into detail about the 2012 incident, accuses Winston of rape, assault, false imprisonment and emotional distress.

Because the burden of proof is much lower in a civil lawsuit than in a criminal case, Kinsman could have a better chance of winning a jury verdict if it goes to trial.

David S. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice in Miami, said in a civil case the stan-

dard amounts to the “greater weight” of the evidence, or “merely tipping the scales in favor of the plaintiff.”

In a criminal case, prosecutors must prove a person’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, meaning jurors must be entirely convinced of guilt.

“The scales have to be tipped all the way over to the side of the prosecution,” said Weinstein, who is not involved in the case.

Weinstein also said that he thought Kinsman’s chances of prevailing were good, based on the detailed allegations and multiple witness statements in the lawsuit. But that doesn’t mean it will be easy.

“The defense will drag her character through the mud, so this is going to be an unpleasant process for her,” he said. “However, Winston has a lot to lose, so I foresee a settlement and not a trial.”

Kinsman has also filed a lawsuit against FSU’s trustees, asserting that university officials had knowledge of her alleged sexual harassment and discrimination by the star quarterback and this created a hostile educational environment for her.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, including reimbursement for tuition, damages for emotional pain and suffering and loss of past and present earning and earning capacity.

House passes bill to repeal estate tax

Top US lawmakers strike deal to fast-track trade deals WASHINGTON (AP) — Top congressional lawmakers struck a long-sought, bipartisan agreement Thursday for the broadest trade policy pact in years, allowing President Barack Obama to negotiate trade accords for Congress’ review and move forward with talks on a sweeping partnership with Pacific nations.

Obama quickly said he will sign the bill if Congress passes it.

“It’s no secret that past trade deals haven’t always lived up to their promise,” Obama said in a statement.

“And that’s why I will only sign my name to an agreement that helps ordinary Americans get ahead.”

Chief among the challenges of passing the bill are divisions within the president’s own party.

Liberal and pro-business Democrats are bitterly split over the deal’s potential for creating or subtracting American jobs. Under the legislation, Congress gets an up-or-down vote on any such deals, but in exchange cannot make changes — a concern for labor, environmental and other interest groups. The divisions hover over 2016 presidential politics, too, as Democratic

involving the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Canada, Mexico and seven other Pacific rim nations.

Labor unions and others say the Pacific pact would hurt U.S. job growth and encourage other countries to abuse workers and the environment. The Obama administration rejects those claims, and says U.S. goods and services must have greater access to foreign buyers.

One Democrat, Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, said the agreement marked only a start and could be derailed by amendments that might be added when lawmakers consider the bill in committees or on the floor.

Brown and other Democrats who are aligned with organized labor are often highly suspicious of, or even hostile to, trade legislation. They argue such measures facilitate agreements that wind up destroying jobs in the U.S. and creating jobs in nations that lack the environmental and worker safety protections that exist in the United States.

“Negotiating objectives without enforcement mechanisms don’t get you very far,” Brown told reporters.

Top lawmakers struck a bipartisan agreement on Thursday to allow President Barack Obama to negotiate trade deals subject to a yes-or-no vote from Congress without the possibility of changes. The “fast-track” legislation comes as Obama seeks a sweeping trade deal with 11 Pacific nations.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership proposes a trade agreement involving the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Canada, Mexico and seven other Pacific-rim nations. contender Hillary Rodham Clinton kicks off her campaign to unite the party.

House Speaker John Boehner applauded the deal but said much of the burden of its success rests with Obama.

“He must secure the support from his own party that’s needed to ensure

strong, bipartisan passage,” Boehner said in a statement that was echoed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

For Obama, the “fast track” legislation comes at an opportune time. He’s negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which proposes a trade agreement

“Nobody really believed that a building of such civic importance would be demolished,” said Meenakshi Srinivasan, an architect and chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. “It really created the coalescing of all factors to come together to save buildings important to New York City’s identity.”

The law was signed by Mayor Robert Wagner on April 19, 1965, and upheld by the Supreme Court in 1978 following a campaign led by Jacqueline Kenne-

dy Onassis to save another iconic railroad station — Grand Central.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission was given a mandate to preserve buildings and places of cultural, architectural and historical significance.

Owners of properties given the designation must get permits from the commission before making restorations, alterations or additions.

In its first five years, it designated 300 to 400 buildings, over a dozen historic districts and reviewed 800 applications. Today

the commission’s work is increasingly bigger. Over the last five years alone, it reviewed nearly 67,000 applications.

Famous buildings given such designations include Radio City Music Hall, St. Bartholomew’s Church, Federal Hall, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the New York Stock Exchange, Coney Island’s Parachute Jump, the Alice Austen House in Staten Island and historic districts in Greenwich Village and Brooklyn Heights.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Thursday to repeal the federal tax on estates, a politically volatile issue that affects few inheritances.

Republicans refer to it as the “death tax.” They say it prevents small business owners and family farmers from passing businesses on to their heirs.

“Can you imagine working your whole life to build up a family-owned business and then upon your death Uncle Sam swoops in and takes nearly half of what you spent a lifetime building up for your children and grandchildren?” asked Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, who sponsored the bill.

“It is at its heart an immoral tax,” he said.

Democrats say repealing the tax is a giveaway to the rich, since the only families that pay it have many millions in assets. The bill now goes to the Senate where Democrats appear to have enough votes to block it.

The White House has threatened to veto the bill in part because it would add $269 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade.

“This proposed repeal of the estate tax is nothing more than a massive unfunded tax break for a small sliver of America’s wealthiest families,” said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. “What are they doing? Shoveling a quart of a trillion dollars out the door to the richest.”

The vote was 240-179.

The House also passed a b ill to ma k e p e rma nent a deduction for state and local sales taxes that expired at the beginning of the year. The White House threatened to veto that bill in part because it would have added $42 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade.

The federal tax rate on estates is 40 percent, but big exemptions limit the share of estates that pay it to fewer than 1 percent.

This year, the exemption is $5.43 million for a sin-

gle person. Married couples can exempt up to $10.9 million. Larger estates pay taxes only on the amounts above these thresholds.

A total of 5,400 estates are expected to pay the tax this year — out of about 2.6 million deaths, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, which provides official estimates for Congress. That’s 0.2 percent of all deaths in the U.S. Republicans say that some business owners get hit with the tax because they have valuable assets that don’t necessarily generate a lot of cash. They cite family farms, which may sit on valuable land but don’t generate enough money to pay hefty estate taxes unless heirs sell some or all the land.

“The super rich? They don’t pay this tax. They have a legion of lawyers and tax planners. They have charitable trusts and foundations,” Brady said.

“These are family-owned, hard-working, risk-taking, determined Americans who are building their business, their farm, their ranch.

These are not, as we will hear today, the Paris Hiltons and robber barons of the Teddy Roosevelt days.”

The deduction for state and local sales taxes helps people who live in the nine states without a state income tax on wages.

House Republicans say the measure is about fairness because people in states that have incomes taxes can deduct those taxes on their federal returns.

The vote was 272-152.

These seven states have no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Also, New Hampshire and Tennessee tax income from interest and dividends, but not wages.

The deduction is one of dozens of temporary tax breaks that are routinely extended every year or two.

Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have a friend, “Jonah,” whom we love dearly, but he has no filter. He’s college-educated, has a white-collar job and is over 50. The problem is, anytime we invite him for dinner or take food items to his house, he makes horrible remarks about my wife’s cooking, particularly when it’s a holiday party based on my wife’s Slavic heritage.

My wife is a really good cook.

No one else makes fun of these foods, many of which are common in the U.S., but Jonah makes negative comments every time. I have told him that it’s rude, and so has my wife.

We would hate not inviting him to future parties with our usual crowd, but it gets me upset when he does this. My wife has actually prepared an alternative meal for him so he won’t have to eat the “heritage-style” food.

He even makes snide comments when I bring foods popular in other parts of the U.S. Abby, do we continue inviting him or not? It is straining our friendship.

IN A FOOD FIGHT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR IN A FOOD FIGHT: Because Jonah has indicated that he doesn’t like the food at your parties, stop inviting him.

And because he doesn’t appreciate the effort when you bring regional food to his home, stop doing that, too. If he asks why he wasn’t included, feel free to give him an “unfiltered” answer.

If you visit him, bring a generic house gift, such as nuts, a box of candy, a bottle of wine. If he doesn’t accept it graciously, stop doing that, too.

With a “friend” like Jonah, it would be better to socialize at a restaurant that serves food he does like, or at an activity that

DEAR ABBY: My wife has gained a little weight and has become self-conscious about how she looks. I have told her she’s still beautiful.

We haven’t been intimate in three months and I think it’s because she’s afraid I won’t like how different she looks without clothes.

I don’t know how to tell her that my love for her isn’t based on her physical beauty. It’s based on who she is as a person. THAT’S what is beautiful to me. Do you have any feedback for me?

LOVING HER IN LOUISIANA

DEAR ABBY: My husband helps with the kids and with the housework. But he never remembers holidays and special occasions. We have been married 15 years.

I have talked to him about how hurtful this is, but it never helps. I want him to think about me and put some effort into getting me something. My friends say, “How can you complain? He helps you do housework!” What do you think?

WIFE OF AN IMPERFECT HUSBAND

DEAR LOVING HER: Before jumping to conclusions about why you and your wife haven’t been intimate, I think you should ask her directly. It may have nothing to do with her weight — and it could be something she should discuss with her gynecologist.

Of course, it never hurts to tell a woman that she’s beautiful because of who she is in your eyes and that she always will be. It’s a

DEAR WIFE: If the problem is that your husband doesn’t know what to buy for you, offer some suggestions. If he simply can’t remember the date — and some spouses don’t — start “reminding” him a week in advance. If he still doesn’t “pop,” then appreciate the fact that you have a husband who tries every day to show you he loves you by making your life easier. Many women are not so lucky.

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: I saw a suggestion sent in by a reader for leaving a baby sitter a list of instructions. Certainly, having this list available is important, but the most important information, which should be posted by every telephone, is the ADDRESS of the residence.

The person (baby sitter) who is calling 911 often may not reside at the location and has no idea where emergency help should be sent. And often during an emergency, even the homeowner may have trouble thinking of the address.

Susie D. in Texas How right you are, and minutes saved can save a life!

Readers, did you know that if you call 911 from your cellphone, THEY DO NOT KNOW exactly where you are? It’s not like on TV shows and movies. Also, what if you are in a high-rise apartment building with hundreds of apartments?

Most 911 call centers CANNOT locate a cellphone call and CANNOT read a text message. Know where you are, state so at the beginning of the call and give your phone number.

Dear Heloise: Water seeped under a saucer placed under a plant on my hardwood floor. I thought I had protected the floor, but now it is stained with dark rings. Do you have a hint that can reduce those rings?

Sylvia O., Rockville, Md. I’m here to help, Sylvia! It sounds like you are dealing with a mold or mildew stain instead of just a regular water stain, because you said it is dark. First, you need to kill the mildew. A simple and safe solution: vinegar! Rub the area with white or apple-cider vinegar on a clean towel, going in the direction of the grain of the wood. Use only a small amount of vinegar, and DO NOT soak the wood ­— it might swell. Let the area dry for at least 24 hours, or until dry to the touch.

If the stain isn’t completely removed, repeat the steps. This may lighten the wood a little, but just polish the spot with furniture oil once the stain is gone. Vinegar works on so many things around the house. To find many of my favorite uses, order my vinegar pamphlet. Visit my website, Heloise. com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Have a white ring on clay pots? Scrub the area with undiluted white vinegar to remove the salt buildup.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: I bought a quesadilla maker.

It is great! I have a picky eater at home, and this is a great way to get him involved in making dinner together. He can pick whatever he wants on his quesadilla. Now there are no fights about what he won’t or will eat. We have fun, too. We use peanut butter and chocolate chips to make a dessert.
