Proposed marijuana farm raising a stink

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

Seeds of discontent are growing in response to a proposed medical marijuana farm near Roswell that will be considered next week by a joint city-county commission.

The Roswell-Chaves County Extraterritorial Zoning Commission will on Tuesday night consider a marijuana producer’s request to change the zoning use of a property just outside Roswell from a former dairy processing facility to a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility.

Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Roswell has requested the ETZ commission to

change the industrial zoning use of the property at 5104 to 5106 S. Main St. to a medical marijuana production facility.

The site was a milk processing plant operated by Nature’s Dairy.

The ETZ meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the Chaves County Administrative Center at 1 Saint Mary’s Place in Roswell.

A staff report from the Chaves County Planning & Zoning Department states the the proposal has already sparked interest and encountered opposition, although the staff report also recommends approval of the zoning change to allow the pot farm.

“There have been several verbal objections received over the

phone,” Marlin Johnson, director of the Chaves County Planning & Zoning Department, stated in the staff report. “One letter of objection has been received, but does not trigger a supermajority vote.”

Terry Johnson, of Johnson Septic Co. of 5007 S. Main St., wrote Extraterritorial Zoning Commission members Tuesday stating his strong opposition to the proposed medical marijuana growing facility.

The Extraterritorial Zoning Commission is a citizen board whose seven members are principally appointed by Roswell and Chaves County elected officials to “promote public health, safety, morals and the general welfare.” The ETZ commission

governs territory within about 2 miles of Roswell city limits.

“I find numerous issues that would have negative economic, social and moral impacts on our community,” Terry Johnson wrote. “Our strongest opposition lies within the location of such a venture. By locating a medical marijuana facility on the South Main corridor, I feel it would be a detriment to the property value of the surrounding area.”

Marlin Johnson disagreed in the staff report, saying the South Main Street corridor is in need of economic development.

“Findings of fact could include the property is already zoned industrial, the county comprehensive plan shows

commercial and light industrial development along South Main Street, there are numerous other commercial and industrial rezones and uses along both sides of South Main Street, the condition of the neighborhood and South Main Street will be enhanced by any improvements to the existing screening and landscaping, this represents economic development in an area where needed, the state has determined such facilities to be a compassionate care need,” the staff report states.

Terry Johnson said a marijuana growing facility would give visitors to the Alien City a bad impression.

“I believe that first impressions are extremely important,”

Terry Johnson wrote. “Being located so close to Roswell International Air Center, this location will be one of the first businesses seen as people enter Roswell and will be one of the last impressions as they leave.

I suggest that this would leave those visiting with a negative impression.”

The county planning and zoning staff recommends approval of the request to change the use of the property for the medical marijuana facility, under several stipulations, including that the facility be in compliance with all state regulations.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.

‘Roswell slides’ to be part of UFO Festival Roswell man pleads guilty to federal child exploitation charge

Brazel and the alleged government cover-up afterward could be considered, by some, more compelling than the slides.

The story of the slides begins in Midland, Texas, when the home of Bernard and Hilda Ray was being cleaned out for an estate sale, according to journalist Andrew Dew, who was given the box of more than 400 Kodachrome images around three years ago.

Most of the slides, Dew said, depict the many travels of the well-connected Rays. Bernard was an oil industry geologist and his wife a prominent attorney and amateur pilot.

U.S. mail carriers and staff at the U.S. Postal Service Brasher Office, 497 W. Brasher Road, stand ready for the 22nd annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive in cooperation with Harvest Ministries, 601 N. Main St. This Saturday the public is invited to put out canned or any other non-perishable food by their mailboxes for the mail carriers to pick up. Should your home somehow get missed for pickup, call 623-9511 and someone will be sent to get your food donation. Rev. Ron Green, shown at far right, said that Harvest Ministries distributes their food donations through 16 agencies in Chaves County. “Last year we collected 8,000 pounds of food,” Green said. “This year we’re trying for 10,000.” USPS manager/coordinator Amelia Orozco and Harvest shipping and receiving driver Bobby Rollins are shown standing next to Green.

LAS CRUCES — Jim Walter Qualls Jr., 28, of Roswell, pleaded guilty today in federal court in Las Cruces, N.M., to child exploitation charges. The plea was entered without the benefit of a plea agreement. The guilty plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Damon P. Martinez and Special Agent in Charge Waldemar Rodriguez of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in El Paso, Texas.

Qualls was arrested on child pornography charges on July 31 based on a criminal complaint charging him with receipt and distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography and enticement of a minor to engage in any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depiction of such conduct. The criminal conduct occurred between Oct. 2013 and Feb. 2014, in Chaves County. According to the criminal complaint, HSI agents from Las Cruces, N.M., executed a search warrant on Qualls’ residence after the location was identified by law enforcement as having an internet protocol (IP) associated with uploaded images of child pornography to the internet. HSI agents confiscated Qualls’ cell

phone which allegedly contained visual depictions of minors engaged in sexual activity.

Qualls subsequently was indicted on Oct. 16, 2014, and charged with four counts of persuading and enticing a minor child to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of that conduct and transporting those images through the internet.

During today’s proceedings, Qualls pled guilty to the indictment. At sentencing, Qualls faces a statutory mandatory minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in federal prison on each of the four counts in the indictment. If the court determines that Qualls’ criminal history includes a prior conviction for a sexual offense, Qualls faces a statutory mandatory minimum of 25 years and maximum of 50 years of imprisonment on each count of the indictment.

Qualls remains in custody pending a sentencing hearing which has yet to be scheduled. Qualls will be required to register as a sex offender after completing his term of imprisonment.

This case was investigated by the Las Cruces office of HSI and the Ros-

Area parks designated for improvement project Staff Report

From parks and sanitation to police and fire and code enforcement, as well as others, the various departments and divisions of the City of Roswell are spending time during the next four months visiting some selected areas of the city in an effort to help with some spring (and summer) cleaning, as well as getting to know the residents there a little better.

The city, along with other area agencies and organizations, this week kicked off the Community Investment Project. Four areas have been designated to be part of this project. As members of the various city entities work together to make strides in improving these neighborhoods, they also look forward to spending some time with the residents of each area to learn how they can better serve the citizens and how everyone can work together — cooperatively investing in the community – to make these areas, and Roswell as a whole, a great place to live.

During May, June, July and August, the location focus will shift each month. It has begun this month in the area between East Second Street and East College Boulevard, from Railroad Avenue east to Atkinson Avenue and a bit farther to the west to the city limits. Resi-

Roswell incident. He a holds advanced degrees in anthropology and is a yearly guest speaker at the Roswell UFO Festival, where the slides will be presented for the first time locally as “The Face of Roswell” at this year’s event.

Carey believes the slides definitively show an extraterrestrial body which he believes was recovered from the Roswell incident while skeptics believe it’s simply a mummy child on display in a glass case.

“There’s no sternum, there’s no clavicle, there’s no ball and socket joint in the humerus that articulates with the scapula,” Carey said. “It has three fingers ... no ears, just little holes in the side of the head.”

Carey said the authenticated time frame of the slide along with a second-hand witness account of what first responders saw when they responded to Brazel’s ranch in 1947 are compelling.

He said Frankie Roe was the daughter of then-Roswell Fire Chief Dan Dwyre, who along with then-Sheriff George Wilcox responded to the J.B. Foster Ranch after being notified of unusual debris Brazel found 35 miles southeast of Corona.

Roe, who Carey said was twelve years old at the time, began asking her father what he saw at the scene. She

dents will find the Police Department mobile Command Post at Spring River Park and Zoo (in the parking lot on Atkinson Avenue just south of East College Boulevard across from Loveless Park) on many days throughout the month for people to stop by to see the Command Post and visit with RPD personnel. On Saturday, a free hot dog cookout is planned at the Command Post site from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cookout is set to take place every Saturday throughout August at the different parks the Command Post will be located each month.

Meanwhile, within the designated area each month, representatives from other city departments will be making their way around – from Sanitation and Community Enhancement removing trash and larger debris from alleys to Code Enforcement handing out information about local groups that can help clean up residential and commercial properties. The Street Department will be working on street repairs, replacing worn or missing street signs and fixing street lights that may be out.

During this outreach project, the RPD Command Post serves not only as a place to meet members of the Police Department but also to ask questions of any city department and share input

described to Carey what her father told her.

Two aliens were dead, Roe told Carey in a previous interview. But one was alive and walking around the scene.

Dwyer was able to talk to the being, but not by conventional means.

“We talked to one another in our heads, like mental telepathy,” Carey recalled.

Roe asked her father what the alien looked like.

“Child of the Earth,” Roe said, referring to the Jerusalem cricket, an insect native to the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico that has a large head.

The time frame of the slides’ manufacture and exposure along with Dwyer’s third-party account of his extraterrestrial interaction is the slam-dunk evidence.

“If it wasn’t for the time frame of them, I wouldn’t be an advocate,” Carey said.

The slides were described by British media as, “an epic fail,”

munity Investment Project will move in June to the area bounded by East McGaffey Street on the north and Poe and Conner streets on the south, and South Main Street on the west and Atkinson Avenue on the east.

The RPD Command Post will be based at Carpenter Park (Monroe Avenue between Hobbs and Buena Vista streets).

The project’s designated part of the city for July is the area from East Second Street on the north to East McGaffey Street on the south, and South Main Street on the west and the city limits (Hinkle Street and slightly beyond) on the east. The RPD Command Post will be found at Poe Corn Park (East Second Street and Garden Avenue).

The project will wrap up in August by going to the “base” to spend the month in the area with Hobson Road on the north and Earl Cummings Loop encircling the neighborhood. The RPD Command Post will set up at Esplanade Park (Walker Boulevard south of East Eyman Street).

Data show each of the designated areas to be among Roswell’s high-crime areas, but city representatives believe that can change as officials and citizens work together and take pride in Roswell.

In addition, printed information is available at the Command Post from a variety of city entities, including the library, museum, Neighborhood Watch, and Parks and Recreation, which plans on putting on some special events for kids during this project. The Roswell Fire Department and the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office also plan to bring out their Command Posts at times. RFD plans to also set up its “Kid’s Combat Challenge,” an obstacle course for local youth.

The RPD Command Post will also be found at some of the locations where the Roswell Independent School District will be

Even other prominent UFO researchers were disappointed.

“When it comes to evidence, it’s up to the person making the claim to prove this is something unusual. The body looks so strikingly similar to a child mummy,” said Alejandro Rojas, the Editor of Open Minds Magazine and Huffington Post blogger.

Rojas, who is also a routine guest speaker at Roswell’s UFO Festival, said researchers stumbled upon Dew’s trailer several months ago, and were able to take the small image from the video and enhance and enlarge it themselves. What Dew revealed May 5 didn’t surprise Rojas.

“I highly respect the researchers involved, which is why I was holding out hope there was something we were all missing,” Rojas said.

The lunches are served 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Poe Corn Park, Carpenter Park, Cahoon Park, Spring River Park and Zoo, Yucca Recreation Center and the “base” area in south Roswell (near the swimming pool).

The lunches are free to anyone younger than 18 and can be purchased by adults for $3. Plans call for Neighborhood Watch to possibly provide free child photographs and fingerprint cards for any parents who want them during the RISD lunches.

email requests for comment.

Roswell UFO and Research Center Director Mark Briscoe declined to comment in detail about the slides, but revealed some interesting information about the Roswell incident in general. He said the museum has the original blue books the government gave to the facility that contain a lot of blacked out information. Briscoe said if he wanted to, he has the ability remove the black marks covering secrets about the incident. He recalled what happened when he told that to a group of elderly people several years ago.

“Within ten days I got a phone call, advising me it would be very unwise to do that, or they would be here and take away everything they gave to us,” Briscoe said.

generally compatible with the comprehensive plan and neighboring land uses,” the report states. “The development should enhance the visual character of the neighborhood.”

Terry Johnson also asserted a medical marijuana growing facility would have negative social impacts. He noted the proposed site is about 2,100 feet from Mountain View Middle School, about 3,300 feet from Sunset Elementary School and about 1,250 feet from Mountain View Baptist Church.

“The northwest corner of the property also serves as the bus stop for the children of the residential area of the Claude Allison Acres subdivision, which is located approximately 60 feet from the proposed site,” Terry Johnson continued in his letter. “I feel that just the appearance of this site is unhealthy for young minds. As a business owner located immediately northeast of this location, I am very concerned for the potential increase in crime and that this facility would be an invasion to those individuals who circle themselves around a dishonest environment.”

Marlin Johnson said in the staff report the 8-acre proposed site is zoned industrial, but the change of use from a dairy facility to a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility requires approval by the ETZ commission through a public hearing process, which begins Tuesday night.

Most of the proposed site’s neighboring properties are zoned rural suburban, with a commercial district to the north and some industrial and commercial properties to the south.

The 8-acre site abuts South Main Street, Charleston Road and Pennsylvania Avenue, with proposed access from South Main Street.

The nearest residence is about 10 feet away on the south end of the proposed development, with more residences on the west side of Pennsylvania Avenue.

The staff report said the marijuana growing proposal is “generally in compliance with the City-County Land Use Plan,” which calls for commercial or light industrial use in the area.

“There were no concerns raised by county departments,” the staff report states. “City staff supports the change in use, but recommends that solid screening fence be added along any property lines visible from city entry corridors and that landscaping be added to improve the aesthetic appeal.”

Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals has proposed building a security fence around the bulk of the property. A telephone call Thursday to Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals was not returned.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander B. Shapiro of the U.S. Attorney’s Las Cruces Branch Office is prosecuting this case.

the 20 block of H Street in the “base” area about 9 p.m.

The woman could not offer descriptions of the men in the car, but described the vehicle as having a loud muffler. She said she heard the car accelerate as it approached her and her two sons. She was holding one and the other boy was next to her as the trio walked from their vehicle to the sidewalk. They were on ijuana in Chaves County and Roswell.

The all-Republican Chaves County Commission in September went on the record against legalizing recreational marijuana in New Mexico, while culturally conservative members of the Roswell City Council have wrestled with the existence of a medical marijuana dispensary in downtown Roswell.

However, state law gives cities and counties no direct authority over the state’s Medical Cannabis Program, whose patients, dispensaries and growing operations are regulated solely by the New Mexico Department of Health.

State law does require medical marijuana facilities to be at least 300 feet from any school, church or daycare center. Medical marijuana growers must also disclose to the Department of Health the number of anticipated plants, the method of cultivation, such as greenhouse, hydroponic, indoor or outdoor, and other details of operations, including the facility’s square footage, layout and security plan.

The lack of local control over medical marijuana operations has upset culturally conservative areas of the state, such as Chaves County.

In September, the Chaves County commissioners approved a resolution opposing recreational marijuana use in the state, as Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties considered ballot initiatives relaxing marijuana possession laws in those counties.

The Chaves County commissioners had discussed a possible ordinance “with teeth in it” banning marijuana altogether in Chaves County. The five Republican commissioners instead chose the route of passing a resolution stating the commission’s opposition to the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in the state.

Terry Johnson commended the commissioners for passing the resolution opposing marijuana legalization.

“There is a moral issue at stake,” Terry Johnson wrote in his letter. “I also cannot help but consider the fact the state of New Mexico is legalizing something that is illegal in the eyes of the federal government.”

Terry Johnson also said calling a medical marijuana growing facility a pharmaceutical endeavor is deceptive.

“In a time where transparency is ever so important, labeling a marijuana growing facility under the umbrella of pharmaceutical manufacturing is not only deceptive, it appears to be a concealment of the actual intended use of this facility and brings to question the forthrightness of those who are required to notify the constituents,” he said.

Officials respond

Roswell City Councilor Jason Perry, an outspoken critic of medical marijuana, lamented the state’s medical marijuana law gives local units of government no control of medical and DOJ’s Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, visit justice.gov/psc/.

The case also was brought as a part of the New Mexico Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force’s mission, which is to locate,

the sidewalk when the red car drove onto the sidewalk, missing them by only two to three feet, according to the woman.

Anyone with information that could help identify and locate the red car connected with this aggravated assault case is asked to call the Roswell Police Department at (575) 624-6770 or Chaves County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-TIPS(8477). marijuana dispensaries and growing operations.

“It completely strips local government from their ability to have any regulations on what is best for their community,” Perry said Thursday. “Something that may be good for Santa Fe does not necessarily make it good for Roswell, New Mexico. I’m not in any way saying that I think that is good for Santa Fe, either.

“Government was established by the Founding Fathers to be bottom-up, not top-down.

Government should start on the local level and work its way up and become less and less controlling as it goes up.”

Perry also noted the state’s medical marijuana law does not require dispensaries or growers to notify local law enforcement agencies of their operations.

“Our own law enforcement, county, local and state, doesn’t even have the authority of knowing,” Perry said. “They don’t even have to know it’s there. There’s just too much open-ended.”

Perry said he opposes the proposed medical marijuana facility near Roswell.

“I’m opposed to the operation due to the health, safety and welfare of the community,” Perry said. “I’m against this kind of thing until we can get to a point to where it can be safely regulated. There’s a reason it’s not in pharmacies because they cannot safely regulate it.

It can’t be done right now with our technology.

“So for the health, safety and welfare of the community, I don’t want them selling the stuff. I don’t want them growing the stuff. I don’t want it.”

Perry said marijuana potency varies from strain to strain, and even within a single plant.

“I am 100 percent confident that there are medical benefits to cannabis,” Perry said. “I have no doubt that there are. But it cannot safely be regulated to ensure that what they’re getting is the potency within the standards of safety. They cannot be assured of that. When they get to where they can safely regulate it, I would reconsider, but I’m not there.”

Chaves County Commissioner Robert Corn said Thursday he’s withholding judgment on whether the ETZ commission should approve the zoning change.

However, Corn said county and city leaders may regulate a marijuana growing facility through zoning, as the county and city have regulated the locations of potential adult businesses.

“If somebody follows all the laws and procedures set forth by the state of New Mexico, I don’t believe that we can stop them from growing marijuana,” Corn said. “But I think we can have some sway as to where they’re going to be located.

You can’t park it at Main and Second street. Just like we did when we did the sexual business deal, we set out requirements for location of those

It’s the ‘why not me’ election

This is shaping up as the “Why not me?” election.

As more candidates declare for president — three Republicans joined the fray just this week — they encourage the remaining fence-sitters to take a run more seriously.

Look at John Kasich, now in his second term as governor of Ohio after serving nine terms in Congress. His 23 years in federal public office are almost as many as the six declared candidates combined: former high-tech executive Carly Fiorina, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and three young senators, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.

Kasich has to wake up every morning in the governor’s mansion of the nation’s most important swing state and tell himself: If they can run for president, I can, too.

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is clearly infected by the same virus. After 20 years in Congress, he’s a recognized expert on military issues and has probably visited more countries than his potential rivals can even name.

Cokie and Steven Roberts Syndicated Columnists “Why not me?” is a question that comes easily to his lips these days.

That phrase, however, only begins to explain a burgeoning Republican field that could eventually reach a dozen or more. The second factor is fragmentation.

Even minor candidates can imagine a twisting path to the nomination in such a crowded field. Suppose Rubio and Paul knock each other out. What if New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie emerges to challenge Jeb Bush for the mainstream vote? Maybe Cruz and Huckabee will fatally wound each other competing for evangelical Christians in Iowa.

The Republican Party has a “royalist” tradition of nominating the next in line. In the 14 elections from 1952 through 2004,

Roswell Daily Record

the party only once — in 1964 — nominated a ticket that did not include someone named Nixon, Dole or Bush. Even the last two nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney, were very much in the royalist mode.

Yes, there’s another Bush running this year, the former Florida governor, and he leads the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll with 23 percent of GOP primary voters.

But that’s hardly an overwhelming lead, and as Bush himself joked recently, “I don’t see any coronation coming my way.”

A third reason attracting so many candidates is the changing media environment. In the past, notes political analyst Dan Schnur, marginal candidates could not hope to attract much media coverage. “There just wasn’t room in the Washington Post for them,” he told Politico.

But today, candidates can reach voters directly through social media platforms -- from Twitter and Facebook to YouTube and Instagram. “Even a little bit of media attention is enough oxygen for a race that wouldn’t have existed a quarter-century ago,”

says Schnur.

Add a fourth reason: Supreme Court decisions that have enabled wealthy donors to back individual candidates through independent super PACs. In the last cycle, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was kept afloat by one donor, casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, and many of this year’s hopefuls yearn for an Adelson-like angel to fund their fantasies.

There’s a fifth reason why so many Republicans are considering the race: the widening cracks in Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. A torrent of bad news, from lost emails to secret donations, has clearly damaged her reputation. In the Wall Street Journal poll, her negatives jumped from 36 percent to 42 percent in just one month.

More seriously, only 1 in 4 voters views her as honest and straightforward. She stills beats her main GOP rivals in head-tohead match-ups, but her margin over Paul is only three points, and over Jeb Bush, it’s six. Suddenly, the GOP nomination seems a lot more valuable.

History teaches a sixth lesson.

The last three Democratic presi-

dents-- Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama -- were all outsiders when they ran. None of them waited their turn or deferred to their elders. Clearly many younger Republican hopefuls have learned from their example: Take a chance. It might not come around again.

Of course, not all of the GOP candidates actually believe they can win the nomination. Some, like Fiorina, might be angling for vice president. Others might be hoping to raise their profiles and fill their pockets.

Huckabee, after all, cashed in after his failed run in 2008 by securing lucrative TV, book and speech deals. He even did a cheesy diabetes infomercial.

But no matter what their secret dreams or hidden motives might be, a boat-load of Republicans are all asking the same question right now.

Why not me?

Latinos not special interest voters Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were the last big-name Republicans to succeed at winning substantial Hispanic support. But the GOP could make a comeback with the country’s most important swing-vote demographic.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus was in Colorado on Tuesday to boast that Colorado Republicans succeeded in regaining support of Hispanics last fall. Without Latino support, Republican Cory Gardner would not be in the United States Senate. Nor would U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman have won in a landslide over former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff. The gubernatorial race was close, in large part because Republicans improved their standing with Hispanics.

Colorado Republicans have learned there is no packaged platform that attracts Hispanics. It is a diverse community of individuals who don’t all vote immigration and amnesty platforms.

They don’t all favor economic social programs that promise “income equality” and government assistance. On social issues, a majority of Hispanic voters have more in common with Republicans than Democrats.

Republicans will continue improving their base of Hispanic support if they simply reach out with traditional Republican platforms that advocate equal opportunity, a fair playing field, law and order and the promise that people who work hard will keep and control most of what they earn. Whether they immigrated or descended from immigrants, Hispanics seek the American dream and are more than willing to work for it.

They are not special interest voters.

Gardner and Coffman didn’t pander with contrived Hispanic agendas. They simply made the effort to speak to the Latino community and ask individuals for their votes. Though Romanoff is fluent in Spanish, Coffman began learning the language and made clear his desire to speak to the substantial number of Spanish-speaking voters in his district.

They liked what Coffman had to say, even if he struggled to say it.

“They saw that out of respect for the community that I had made the effort to reach out,” Coffman explained Tuesday.

Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio is not impressed. He issued a statement Tuesday that said the GOP lacks substance to continue attracting Latino support.

“This is the same Republican Party that opposes increasing the minimum wage, opposes equal pay for equal work, and has for years blocked bipartisan immigration reform,” Palacio said. “The problem isn’t their messaging or outreach efforts, it’s the Republican Party platform and the issues they advocate.”

He may be wrong. Few Hispanics aspire to work for a minimum wage; targeting them with the issue could cause insult. Like their fellow Americans, most Hispanics care about immigration but don’t base their votes on it. They probably aren’t moved by that passe “equal pay” talking point.

Since Reagan and Bush, Democrats have schooled Republicans in Hispanic outreach. In Colorado, at least, they risk losing their edge.

‘Hate group’ blamed for ISIS attack Liberals claim to be the world’s boldest defenders of freedom of expression, which is, of course, nonsense.

Here’s another canard: Liberals also claim to be the most offended against anyone “blaming the victim.” What liberals possess is an ideological system which identifies favored groups as victims and supports squelching the free speech of anyone challenging them.

One of those favored groups is Muslims. Over the weekend, the American Freedom Defense Initiative held the Muhammad cartoon contest in Dallas, obviously a provocative event. But it wasn’t meant to result in two Islamic extremists showing up with assault rifles, later shot to death by police after they

Brent Bozell Guest Columnist opened fire.

Two men identifying as ISIS have now attacked America — in our homeland. So how did the press respond? Liberal journalists deplored AFDI’s exercise of free speech and blamed the targeted victims for the attack.

Within hours, ABC described AFDI as “notorious for its anti-Islamic views.”

The shooters were not “notorious,” the shooting targets were. On the Monday evening

news, all three “objective” networks were repeating a leftist group’s highly emotional “hate group” designation.

“It happened at a Dallas suburb where a group [that has been] labeled an anti-Islamic hate group was holding a Prophet Mohammad cartoon contest,” announced NBC anchor Lester Holt.

Washington Post national reporter Lindsey Bever wrote a highly negative article labeling AFDI leader Pamela Geller as an “incendiary organizer” of a Muhammad cartoon contest. The Post, too, went to that same highly emotional leftist source for a smear. Geller was labeled the “anti-Muslim movement’s most visible and flamboyant figurehead.” In addition, “She’s relentlessly shrill and

coarse in her broad-brush denunciations of Islam and makes preposterous claims.”

On MSNBC, Chris Matthews blamed AFDI for “causing” or “provoking” the shooting. NBC terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann even claimed they were not holding a freespeech event: “These people are not standing by that principle; they’re standing by the principle of hatred for other people. That’s their guiding light. That’s what they do.

They are intentionally trying to provoke a response from the Muslim community.”

This spin is obnoxious and offensive. By this standard, MSNBC spends most of its waking hours operating on the “principle of hatred of other people,” people who

Perfectionism does not involve obsessions, compulsions DEAR DOCTOR K: I think of myself as a perfectionist. But more than one person has jokingly referred to me as “OCD.” Where is the line between the two?

DEAR READER: Where is the line between a common way of behaving and a mental health disorder? It’s a common question, and I’m not sure it can ever have a definite answer on which everyone would agree.

First of all, when is perfectionism a good thing, and when is it a human tendency that goes overboard? My answer: Perfectionism is a good thing if the goal at hand absolutely requires it.

Do I want the pilot of my plane to go through his

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate pre-takeoff checklist with perfect accuracy? You bet.

Do I want that pilot to be absolutely sure there is not a single flake of dandruff on his jacket as we take off? I really don’t care. But if he wants to impress a co-worker, he might care a lot. I wouldn’t begrudge him his perfectionism.

At the same time, perfec-

tionism can go overboard.

Should the pilot on my plane go through the takeoff checklist four or five times, to be absolutely sure everything is in order? Well, I want the flight to be safe, but I also want to take off on time.

Can there be a fine line between perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)? Yes, but not usually. A person with OCD has uncontrollable obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are involuntary and repetitive thoughts, worries or urges. Compulsions are ritual behaviors.

A person uses obsessions and compulsions in an attempt to feel safe and decrease anxiety -- but there is no rational reason for them

to feel unsafe and anxious.

Adults with OCD may realize that their thoughts and behaviors are unreasonable.

But they can’t control them.

That’s because doing so causes unbearable anxiety.

I spoke to my colleague, Dr. Jeff Szymanski, a clinical psychologist and executive director of the International OCD Foundation. He drew the following comparison to show the distinction between perfectionism and OCD: Say a person with OCD and a perfectionist are writing an essay on ruled-line blank paper. Both might aim to write so that every letter touches the ruled line and is exactly the

Unending enjoyment brought by history

Roswell Daily Record

My young friend Eric recently posed this question on Facebook: Do you enjoy history, if so what part of history?

After a little thought, my answer was the dawn of the space age.

In my freshman year of college, I was the only girl in an astronomy class, and when the class gave me the opportunity to view celestial objects through a high-power telescope, my love of space was born.

I remember when Alan Shepard was launched into orbit in 1961, and in 1969 I was glued to the television like so many others when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I’m still fascinated by what we’ve learned through the Hubbell space telescope. I decided to poll my family to see how they

define themselves as conservatives.

Activists like Geller and her partner Robert Spencer are making a provocative point about how free speech is being uniquely curtailed out of sensitivity to Muslims, who apparently “earn” this sensitivity by being violent or making threats of violence. Liberals and their media outlets have no such sensitivity toward Christians or Jews.

Freedom of speech, not religious sensitivity, was the mantra for the media when the National Endowment for the Arts subsidized the maker of “Piss Christ” in the 1990s, as it was when museums hosted Chris Ofili’s dung-spattered “art” work on the Virgin Mary, as it was when the National Portrait Gallery promoted a video of a crucifix with ants crawling over the body of Christ.

But freedom of speech for criticizing Islam?

There’s apparently no room for that in America.

They won’t even show the cartoon.

And who was their source, anyway? The Southern Poverty Law Center — yes, that group that has also labeled the Family Research Center a “hate” group for supporting traditional marriage, leading to an assassin using their “hate map” to go to FRC’s building and open fire, seriously wounding a security guard, with the intent to kill as many staff as possible, before being subdued.

The leftist media know that. And still use SPLC as their source.

L. Brent Bozell III is the president of the Media Research Center. Tim Graham is director of media analysis at the Media Research Center and executive editor of the blog NewsBusters.org.

Judi Smith Bouncin’ Around would answer Eric’s question.

My husband, who has an extensive library of books on the Civil War and World War II, answered, “To me, the most influential time was late 1943 then the end of WWII. Russia was overrunning lands the Nazis had taken, and the Allies, U.S. Britain, etc., were planning D-Day. The U.S. was planning an invasion of Japan

and working toward the atom bomb.”

Our daughter said she’d go with Egyptian history, specifically Cleopatra. Her husband said World War I has always interested him.

The 12-year-old triplets had very different answers: Allan’s answer was “when Jesus rose again.”

Randy loves Samurai history.

Rebekah’s answer was “the Vietnam War.” Fifteen-year-old TJ’s answer was “the space race.” I’ve saved Eric’s answer for last. It is: “The Revolutionary War onward. I also like the story of William Penn because he inspired our forefathers in the writing of our constitution. He founded Philadelphia and allowed people of different faiths to move into the commu-

Friday, May 8, 2015

nity. He believed in the right of each person to practice their own faith. I think it’s because he had been jailed in England for his own beliefs.”

What makes this question and Eric’s answer so special to me is that he is a young man who is autistic. He was home-schooled and graduated from high school last year, and owns his own business selling collectibles. He is a very intelligent and caring young man who does as much community service as he can, and advocates quite vocally for people with disabilities.

Eric also asked recently on his Facebook page if we take our right to vote seriously. What I didn’t know before is that in Missouri,

where he lives with his parents, many with autism are automatically given guardians. When that happens they lose all rights including the right to vote. Some states are all or nothing and Missouri is one of them. He gave his mother power of attorney for medical issues when he turned 18 so doctors will talk to her if they don’t listen to him.

I hope Eric continues to ask thought-provoking questions, and I sincerely hope he is successful in changing opinions about people with autism. He has changed mine.

Letters Dear editor, Regarding Robert J. Morris’ letter to the RDR April 23.

He asks, “what in the world is this country coming to?”

He is talking about KBIM dropping Rush Limbaugh and John Hannity from its talk radio. I would say that the country, and KBIM, are coming to their senses.

Common sense and good judgment are taking precedence over the political and social nonsense Limbaugh and Hannity put out.

Rush Limbaugh has lost about twenty percent of his listening audience and sponsors since he called Sandra Fluke a prostitute on national TV for wanting her insurance to pay for birth control.

Limbaugh is not interested in facts, social justice, public welfare, legitimate journalism, credibility or honesty. He is interested solely in money and ratings. To maintain his power, influence and relevancy he has to revert more and more to cheap shots, lies, and sensationalism like the Fluke comment.

Activist: No regrets about cartoon contest

NEW YORK (AP) — Does Pamela Geller regret organizing the Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in gunfire?

No, she says confidently. In fact, she says, she probably saved lives by hosting the event and plans to have more just like it, with one difference: Next time, she’ll be wearing a bulletproof vest.

“I will continue to speak in defense of freedom until the day I die,” Geller said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press, as a grim-looking personal security guard hovered nearby. “It’s just that simple. It’s not even a choice. It’s a calling.”

Geller has always hired armed security personnel to protect the scores of events she has spearheaded across the nation in recent years to decry Islamic extremism. But furor over Sunday’s shooting in Garland, Texas, has led to a specific threat against Geller, posted on a website related to the Islamic State group, and the New York Police Department is taking it seriously. Now she doesn’t travel anywhere

without protection.

Geller said she believes she saved lives by hosting the contest because the two Muslim gunmen shot to death by police would have picked another soft target and killed innocent civilians.

“Would you regret saving lives?” she asked.

A master of rhetoric and clearly comfortable in the spotlight, the 56-yearold former media executive shifts easily from charming to combative.

Her critics have called the cartoon contest needlessly provocative, practically an invitation for violence. But Geller argued that any blame should be focused on extremists who can’t be criticized or lampooned without resorting to violence.

“Cartoons are political critique. It’s a cartoon,” she said. “Is that what we want to outlaw? We want to outlaw humor? We want to outlaw comedy?

If you want to know who rules over you, find out who you cannot criticize.”

Her activities have prompted the Southern Poverty Law Center to add her to its extremist files, calling her “the anti-Muslim movement’s most visible and flamboyant fig-

urehead.”

In an editorial Thursday, The New York Times said Geller “has a long history of declarations and actions motivated purely by hatred for Muslims” and called the Garland event “an exercise in bigotry and hatred posing as a blow for freedom. ...

To pretend it was motivated by anything other than hate is simply hogwash.”

Geller was once part of the elite media machine she professes to despise, working for the business operations of the Daily News and the New York Observer. Then, she was a self-described “apolitical” mother who paid little mind to world affairs.

“I loved my fashion. I loved my life. I loved my career,” she said with a smile. “I assumed my freedom. I grew up free, you know? I grew up in the freest country in the world. And I loved it.”

Then, she said, “9/11 happened. And it was shattering.”

Ignorant of terrorism, Geller said she dived deeply into the Internet to learn more. She joined a burgeoning online community obsessed with jihad and terrorism.

is becoming increasingly older and whiter and, consequently, smaller.

Limbaugh lives in his “ideal America” where all the political and social power was in the hands of old, rich, white men.

In the “real emerging America” the power is in the hands of blacks, Latinos, women, and young people. Limbaugh and his

followers, will not, or cannot, accept this.

If Limbaugh and his followers don’t adapt to the changing world, they will be left in the dust, wondering what happened to the “good ole days.”

Japan zoo apologizes for naming newborn monkey Charlotte TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese zoo has apologized after being criticized for naming a baby monkey Charlotte, the name of the newborn British princess.

The Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden said Thursday it was considering renaming the macaque.

It was flooded with angry calls and emails Wednesday after announcing the name for its first monkey born this year, a tradition at the zoo run by the southern city of Oita.

Charlotte was the favorite in a public ballot, receiving 59 out of 853 votes in the counting, conducted after the female monkey was born Wednesday.

Votes for Charlotte surged after the British princess was named Monday and topped the ballot in the last three days of voting, which ran from March 27 to May 6.

Many critics said giving the princess’ name to a monkey was disrespectful to British royals. According to zoo official Akira Asano, some said the Japanese people would feel offended if a monkey were named after Japanese princesses.

The complaints originated in Japan. Asano said he was not aware of any complaints from British citizens. He said the zoo has also received support for Charlotte, and the views are now largely divided.

same height. In a person with OCD, however, a mistake would require erasing everything and starting over again.

The core of perfectionism is the intention to do something well. If you can keep your eye on that goal, you’re fine. But does the effort to do things perfectly become so time-consuming that you lose sight of the big picture?

Are you spending so much time on unimportant details that you no longer have time to pursue your hobbies? If so, you may have a problem.

If you’re concerned, see a mental health specialist.

There are effective treatments for OCD -- usually selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants combined with talk therapy, such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) or exposure therapy.

Unfortunately, probably not. As long as they’ve got a license from the state of New Mexico to grow it, and they don’t exceed the number of plants or poundage, however they keep track of all that stuff, and they pay their taxes like they’re supposed to, I guess not much can be done from that vantage point.

“One of the realities is it is in the county,” Kintigh said. “Ultimately, the city has no direct authority. Plus, the state when it set up this supposed medical medical marijuana, it took away all local options, which is frustrating.”

Kintigh, a former FBI agent, noted marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and that aiding and abetting in the distribution of marijuana is a felony.

Kintigh said even though the Obama administration has seldom prosecuted those involved in medical marijuana, Montana dispensaries notwithstanding, a future president could crack down on medical marijuana operations.

NM’s commuter rail line faces burdens

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — When launched in 2006, a New Mexico commuter rail line that would one day connect two of the state’s most well-known cities was hailed as a progressive step toward taking people out of cars and putting them on the train.

But as impressive a feat as it was for a poor state’s huge foray into mass public transit, it comes at a price: The train earned $2.8 million last fiscal year in fares from more than a million riders, but cost $28.4 million to operate.

Now the question of whether the huge state investment in the 97-mile commuter rail system is worth it will be visited anew after state lawmakers asked the New Mexico Department of Transportation to conduct a study on the long-term finances of the line.

The study will look at everything from future costs and debt obligations to examining whether the state should sell the Rail Runner and replace it with a bus service.

The finances surrounding the Rail Runner have created a divide in New Mexico. To some, the price tag makes no sense, especially considering relatively low ridership numbers and little congestion on the roads. Others, pointing out large price tags for road projects, suggest it’s an asset worth keeping.

“I look at it this way: We pay millions of dollars for repairs of the highways,” said Micky Hogue, waiting recently with a friend at an Albuquerque station for a midmorning ride to Santa Fe.

Retired from Sandia National Laboratories, she said many of her friends ride the full morning train to work.

For those who ride the train, it’s one of the best deals in the country.

The average fare is $2.47, compared with the average trip length of 40.7 miles. That adds up to 6 cents per passenger mile. A 2011 Department of Transportation study of several train systems around the country found the rates to be among the lowest.

Meanwhile, the costs are rising. On top of operating costs, the state is paying about $28 million a year in debt for the train until 2024, and will have to shell out $112 million in 2025 and 2026 in balloon payments. Taxpayers also are on the hook for nearly $493 million in infrastructure for the rail line. The Department of Transportation estimates the total debt repayment over 20 years, including principal and interest, works out to nearly $784 million.

“I don’t know how we’re going to deal with it in those (balloon payment) years,” Transportation Secretary Tom Church said.

“There’s no silver bullet.”

A fallback for the state could be to refinance the final two payments, a call that lawmakers will have to make.

Academics and others agree it’s not easy to quantify the value of a rail system, which brings multiple benefits aside from relieving congestion. Benefits include

University of New Mexico civil engineering professor Gregory Rowangould says it’s difficult to put into perspective because “what’s appropriate for New York city is not appropriate for Albuquerque.”

However, he said the rail line has potential given that population and traffic patterns can change. “I’d think that there’s value in keeping it around,” he said.

But in a state like New Mexico with low population density, it’s questionable whether a train is worth the cost, said Clifford Winston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C., who studies urban rail systems.

“If it is socially undesirable, then cut your losses and no longer incur the cost ... and try to recover the capital that you can and walk away,” Winston said.

A House measure sponsored

by Rep. Bill Rehm, R-Albuquerque, calls on the transporta-

tion department to produce a Rail Runner feasibility study by mid-November.

Rep. Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces, said he voted against the measure — which passed 31-13 — in the recent legislative session because he felt its language created a “negative bias” against subsidies for commuter rail when other forms of transportation are also subsidized.

“As if when we ride on the freeway we’re using Monopoly money,” said Steinborn.

Brown lawns loom in California Wyoming antler GARDEN GROVE, Calif.

(AP) — It was with more hope than accuracy that the founder of this Orange County city picked the name Garden Grove in 1874 for what was little more than an open plain under the Southern California sun.

More than a century later, this sprawling middle-class suburb of 175,000 people could struggle to live up to that name.

In Garden Grove and other communities across the state, residents can expect to see their gardens shrivel and lawns go brown this summer as mandatory water-conservation rules take effect amid California’s punishing four-year drought.

State regulators Tuesday ordered communities to slash water use anywhere from 8 to 36 percent, with the goal of cutting overall consumption by one-quarter. And since nearly half of residential water in California goes to lawns, turn-

hunt likely will lead to review

Below: A worker from the Municipal Water District of Orange County stands near the holding pond. ing off sprinklers will be one of the first orders of business.

“We can meet these targets by putting the lawns on a water diet now,” said Felicia Marcus, head of the State Water Resources Control Board.

Still, in Garden Grove and other places rich and poor, people who paid

dearly to make their lawns beautiful are loath to say goodbye to the grass.

Last summer, Garden Grove residents used even more water than usual after Gov. Jerry Brown asked people to voluntarily conserve. And while the city has banned watering lawns during the day, it sends fewer than a dozen notices a month to violators.

Reaching the city’s mandatory new target of cutting water use by 28 percent is doable but will require “a cultural change” in a community wedded to green yards in the front and fruit trees and vegetable gardens in the back, said William Murray, Garden Grove’s public works director.

“You are talking about a huge change that needs to

be made, and unfortunately in a significantly short period of time,” he said.

At least one tree-lined street in Garden Grove shows the path to conservation. Lawns have been allowed to turn yellow, and some of the greenest yards are artificial turf, made possible by the city’s recent easing of restrictions against fake grass.

“I used to have the greenest grass in the whole neighborhood,” boasted Mike Meza, a 36-year-old longshoreman who said he misses gardening with his sons. “Lately we’ve just been letting it go.”

He has scaled back watering to twice a month, tells his kids to keep their s h o w e r s t o f o u r m i nutes and bangs on the bathroom door when his 14-year-old takes too long.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — National park rangers and other federal law enforcement officers kept watch without intervening as dozens of antler hunters in western Wyoming gathered for what turned out, for some, to be an ill-fated rush to cross an ice-cold raging mountain river at night.

Hands-off as it was, it was standard policy on Western federal lands whenever foolishness committed by the public falls short of, say, harassing a 3,000-pound bison.

“We don’t try to restrict people’s access or activities unless it’s obviously dangerous,” Grand Teton National Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said. “And I don’t think there was any assumption by the rangers that some of these people were trying to do something that was inordinately dangerous.”

Amid Friday’s midnight frenzy to access antlers recently shed by elk in Bridger-Teton National Forest, a horse being ridden across the Gros Ventre River from Grand Teton drowned, and a small aluminum boat carrying five people capsized.

Two of the boaters had to be rescued by rangers and law enforcement. The other three made it across the 75-footwide river and built a fire to warm up, only to capsize again on the way back.

No one was seriously hurt.

Federal officials say they prob-

ably will review what happened as they often do following multi-agency rescue efforts.

For many antler hunters, simply getting out in nature is the best part. For others, it’s money. Antlers shed by elk every spring can fetch more than $15 a pound and as much as $1,000 for a large, matching, decorative set.

The river crossing has grown into something of an annual tradition since 2010.

State officials were concerned about antler hunters harassing elk weakened by winter, so they began banning the collecting of antlers in western Wyoming from Jan. 1 through April 30.

Antler-gathering is prohibited year-round on Grand Teton and the nearby National Elk Refuge. But Bridger-Teton National Forest opens to antler hunters at midnight May 1.

Many line up in their cars to enter the forest starting at 8 a.m. May 1. That’s when officials raise a gate on a refuge road that otherwise is closed this time of year.

But it’s not soon enough for some collectors. Crossing the river at midnight is the surest, if not safest, way to reach the forest and start scooping up antlers before anybody else.

“It just becomes competitive with people wanting to be the first people out,” said Lori Iverson, spokeswoman for the National Elk Refuge.

Oregon may end self-serve ban — but only in rural areas SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon is one of only two states where drivers aren’t allowed to pump their own gas, but lawmakers appear ready to allow people cruising through rural areas to serve themselves.

That would leave New Jersey as the last holdout with statewide restrictions. Oregon’s not ready to completely jettison its 64-year-old ban, but concerns that travelers could get stranded in places with few gas stations open in the middle of the night may bring self-service pumps to vast expanses of the state.

Parts of Oregon are so remote that people unfamiliar with the landscape don’t realize hundreds of miles separate gas stations, said Rep. Cliff Bentz, sponsor of a bill

that would let gas stations offer self-service fuel when there isn’t an owner, operator or employee around.

Rural businesses in the middle of nowhere can’t afford to keep someone manning the pumps 24 hours a day, said Bentz, a Republican from Ontario, a city near the Idaho border.

“You go around eastern Oregon counties, you find more and more situations where there isn’t any fuel. And it’s not unlike the situation electric-car owners find themselves in now,” Bentz said.

Bentz’s bill sailed through the House on a bipartisan 60-0 vote. It’s now awaiting a committee hearing in the Senate.

The measure is limited to

counties where there are fewer than 40,000 residents. That accounts for half of Oregon’s counties and almost all of eastern Oregon.

Oregonians have rebuffed every attempt to overturn the ban on self-service gas since it was instituted, including a ballot measure they rejected in 1982 that would have legalized self-service pumps. The opposition has been so strong that legislators haven’t introduced a measure to overturn the ban since 2003.

New Jersey has stuck with its restrictions, too. In 2011, Gov. Chris Christie said he wouldn’t support legislation for self-service gasoline because most residents don’t want it, despite proposing selfserve gas while campaigning

for governor in 2009.

Oregon’s ban lists 17 motives. Among them, self-service “discriminates against customers who are elderly or have disabilities who are unable to serve themselves,” and it could create a “dangerous situation” for unattended children.

“In Oregon, the first reason that the law gives to ban self-service gas in effect is, ‘You will set yourself on fire,’” said Steve Buckstein, co-founder of the Cascade Policy Institute, a libertarian think tank.

These days, the arguments against self-service are mainly that full-service stations create jobs and make life more convenient by letting drivers stay in their vehicles.

Attendant James Lewis pumps gas at a station in Portland, Ore., Wednesday. Oregon is one of just two states where motorists aren’t allowed to pump their own gas. The other is New Jersey. Now the Oregon Legislature appears ready to at least let people driving through rural Oregon pump their own.

Briefs: Senate historian retires, law Second layer of steel spikes to be added to regulating chemicals gets support WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate historian Donald Ritchie is stepping down from his “front-row seat to the best show in town.”

That is the tradition, scandal and scholarly debate of the United States Senate, which Ritchie has observed and written about for all four decades the Historical Office has existed.

“He’s the guy you see on TV you see explaining the historic significance of events like swearing-in ceremonies and inaugurations,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in bidding Ritchie farewell. “I don’t think any of us would want to face him on ‘Jeopardy.’”

Consulted by reporters, senators, staff and luminaries alike, Ritchie has authored more than a dozen books, including three textbooks, said Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Author Dan Brown contacted Ritchie for his best-seller, “The Da Vinci Code,” and biographer Robert Caro did likewise for his voluminous writing about

President Lyndon Johnson.

“Any person needing valuable insight into the United States Senate and its history has known where to go,” Reid said.

Ritchie, 69, watched from a corner seat just behind the senators.

He has held the post since 2009, when he succeeded founding Senate Historian Richard Baker. Baker hired Ritchie when the office first opened in the mid-1970s.

“Historians never retire, Don says,” McConnell added. “They just have more time to research.”

HHH Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island don’t agree on much. Inhofe calls global warming a hoax and came to the Senate floor earlier this year armed with a snowball to prove his point.

Whitehouse is a leading advocate for combatting climate change and delivers weekly speeches on the topic on the Senate floor, includ-

So it was unusual to see the two men standing next to each other at a news conference Thursday as each praised the other’s efforts to advance a bill updating regulation of harmful chemicals.

The bipartisan bill would set safety standards for tens of thousands of chemicals that now are unregulated,

while offering protections for people vulnerable to the effects of chemicals such as pregnant women, children and workers. It also would set deadlines for the Environmental Protection Agency to act and allow states to regulate a dangerous chemical if the EPA misses required deadlines.

Thirty-six senators — 18 from each party — have signed on as co-sponsors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service is adding a second layer of steel spikes to the top of the White House fence to keep would-be intruders at bay, according to a proposal submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission.

The steel “pencil point” spikes will be snapped into place at the top of the fence and protrude outward, according to a diagram included in the proposal submitted for the Secret Service by that National Park Service.

The commission approved the proposal at a hearing Thursday afternoon.

The spikes will be added to the fence along the north and south sides of the White House grounds starting Friday, the Secret Service and National Park Service said in a statement Thursday.

The Secret Service has been studying ways to improve security at the White House since a Texas man was able to climb over

the fence and run deep into the executive mansion in September.

The agencies said a preliminary review of design concepts for long-term security changes at the fence is being reviewed, and a final design is expected to be selected this summer. The final design will be submitted to the planning commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, and construction is expected to begin in 2016.

Wizards’ Wall has LSU’s La’el Collins signs deal with multiple fractures Cowboys after draft hopes dashed in left wrist, hand

AP Photo

Washington Wizards guard John Wall (2) goes up for a shot against Atlanta Hawks Al Horford, left, and Kyle Korver in the second half of an NBA second-round playoff series game Sunday in Atlanta.

WASHINGTON (AP) — John Wall has five non-displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand, and the All-Star guard’s playing status has not been determined.

Wall was hurt in Game 1 of Washington’s Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Atlanta Hawks.

Initial X-rays were negative, but “multiple examinations” on Wednesday revealed the injuries, the Wizards announced Thursday.

Washington hosts Atlanta for Game 3 on Saturday.

The top-seeded Hawks won Game 2 to even the series at 1-1.

“Obviously not the news you want to hear,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said following the team’s practice on Thursday. “With the swelling, we knew maybe there was not good news there. We’re still consulting with doctors. It’s See WALL, Page B2

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Former LSU offensive lineman La’el Collins paused to keep control of his emotions at a news conference to announce his signing with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent.

Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones had an even harder time holding back tears while sitting next to a projected firstround pick who didn’t get selected because his name surfaced in the investigation of the shooting death of a pregnant woman he knew in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

“I’ve not had this experience in the NFL,” Jones said Thursday. “I’ve never seen anybody have this experience that La’el’s had.”

Police acknowledged days before the draft that they wanted to talk to Collins, a 2014 all-Southeastern Conference lineman, because he knew the victim, 29-year-old Brittney Mills.

She was shot and killed at her home in late April.

After he went undrafted, Collins met with police, who say he has answered all of their questions. Collins also submitted to a paternity test that proved he is not the father of Mills’ infant son, who was born alive after the shooting but died days later.

Going undrafted in the first round has cost Collins millions of dollars.

Financial details weren’t disclosed, but undrafted free agents are eligible for a three-year deal that pays $435,000 in 2015, $525,000 in 2016, and $615,000 in 2017.

Also, bonuses are limit-

“It’s not even about the money,” Collins said as he sat between his mother, Loyetta, and Jones with coach Jason Garrett nearby. “I never played the game for the money. I played the game because I love the game.

“Just to be here, I’m still getting paid. And at the end of the day, it was way more than I was getting in college,” he said as laughter broke out among reporters.

The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Collins is a Baton Rouge native who was rated among Louisiana’s top high school prospects in 2010, when he committed to play near home.

He was eligible for the 2014 draft, but elected to play for LSU as a senior to

Four tied for lead after 1st round of Players PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The biggest star at The Players Championship was not Rory McIlroy or Jordan Spieth playing together in the morning.

And it wasn’t Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods in backto-back groups in the afternoon.

It was the TPC Sawgrass all day long in another round of big numbers, curious shots and endless entertainment.

Charley Hoffman was among four players tied for the lead at 5-under 67. He was thrilled with his eight birdies, the most of anyone Thursday. What turned a great day into a very good one was that triple bogey out of nowhere right after he made the turn.

How does one make a 7 on the usually harmless first hole?

“Pardon my French,” Hoffman began, before using a familiar English word not fit for print to describe all seven of his bad shots. In fairness, the seventh shot was good. He made a 4-foot putt to keep it from being an 8.

David Hearn of Canada, Hideki Matsuyama of Japan and Kevin Na also had 67.

Each made only one bogey.

It was boring, which never hurts around here.

McIlroy also had a boring round by his standards — two birdies, an eagle, one bogey for a 69. It’s a rare

further refine his game. Initially, it appeared to pay off when he was projected as first-round choice this year.

Instead, he was escorted off the field during a pre-draft public appearance because of the developments back home and didn’t hear his name called for three days.

“I never once was bitter,” Collins said. “I could have easily been mad at the world, taken it out on anybody. I never dropped my head. I knew what I stand for. I know the person that I am.”

Baton Rouge police Lt. Jonny Dunnam has said police understood the timing of the investigation was unfortunate for Collins.

He also stressed that Collins currently is “no more a person of interest than a neighbor would be.”

“It’s an ongoing investigation,” Collins said Thursday. “I’ve collaborated fully with the police. That’s all I really need to say about it.”

Collins talked with Jones by phone early in the week, then met with the owner, Garrett, Tony Romo and other players at Jones’ home on Wednesday night.

He said he “knew from that moment” he would sign with the Cowboys, who essentially ended up with three first-round picks.

Dallas got Randy Gregory in the second round last week when the former Nebraska defensive end slid because he tested positive for marijuana and didn’t follow through on all his planned meetings with teams. The Cowboys took Connecticut cornerback Byron Jones in the first round.

Jimmy Walker, second from left on the green, lines up his putt on the 17th green during the first round of The Players Championship golf tournament Thursday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. occasion when he’ll call that a good day.

“I think that’s what this course is all about,” McIlroy said. “It’s about staying patient. There’s a lot of pars on my card, but I was able to pick off a couple of birdies and a nice eagle on 16.

I’m happy with the start, for sure.”

Spieth wasn’t so fortunate. He was 40 yards away from the green at the par-5 11th and used a wedge three times to get on the green. That doesn’t explain the horrible lie he had in the grass, followed by the lie in

the sand just below the lip of the bunker. He shot a 75, matching his worst score of the year.

“Just a really, really poor day,” Spieth said.

Woods hit a tee shot on a par 3 that went into the water, which is not unusual. But it wasn’t on the island-green at the 17th. It was at No. 8, with a clunker that found a creek some 40 yards short of the green.

Woods didn’t even know there was water on that hole.

“I’ve never seen it,” he said after a 73.

At least one player made a 7 or worse on 10 of the holes on the Stadium Course. Brooks Koepka made a 7 on the 17th by putting two balls into the water. And then he made an 8 on the next hole by putting only one ball in the water. He played the other 16 holes in 1 under.

The Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass holds a certain mystique after more than three decades. Even in reasonable conditions — warmth, sunshine and a little wind — no one fared better than a 67.

A-Rod hits HR No. 661 to pass Mays for 4th all-time NEW YORK (AP) — Tainted or not, Alex Rodriguez had plenty of reasons to celebrate homer No. 661.

A-Rod passed Willie Mays for fourth on the career home run list Thursday night, helping the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-3.

“All of this is pretty crazy,” Rodriguez said.

“A year ago today I never thought I would ever get a curtain call or be hitting in the middle of the lineup for the Yankees, helping our team win.”

With a loud crack of the bat, the Yankees star drilled a line drive off Chris Tillman into the ramp area

off limits to fans just to the left of Monument Park in center field in the third inning. The milestone hit gave New York a 3-2 lead.

A-Rod sent a soaring shot in the first that Delmon Young caught by reaching over the top of the wall in right field for a sacrifice fly.

Next up for Rodriguez: Babe Ruth at 714 home runs.

The Yankees, who said they will not pay a $6 million bonus after Rodriguez matched the Say Hey Kid on Friday in Boston, put a message on the main videoboard saying, “661 Home See A-ROD, Page B2

Brady: Deflated balls scandal doesn’t taint Super Bowl win

SALEM, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said Thursday night the scandal surrounding his use of deflated footballs during the NFL playoffs last season hasn’t detracted in any way from his Super Bowl title.

“Absolutely not,” Brady told a friendly university crowd in his first public appearance since an NFL investigation concluded Brady likely knew Patriots employees were cheating.

“We earned everything we got and achieved as a team, and I am proud of that and so are our fans,” he said.

Brady declined to discuss his thoughts about the 243-page report that said that he was likely at least aware two team employees were breaking rules by deflating footballs for him.

“I don’t really have any reaction. It has only been 30 hours, I’ve not had much time to digest it,” Brady said. “When I do I will be sure to let you know how I feel about it.

And everybody else.”

Brady said he will address things more once things play out and he is more comfortable. Brady is still waiting to see whether the league will discipline him with a fine, suspen-

sion or both.

“There is a process going forward and I am involved in this process,” he said.

Asked whether public backlash is bothering him, Brady said he accepts his role as a public figure and has people who support him and help him get through it.

“As a human you care about what people think. I think also as a public figure you learn not everyone

is going to like you,” he said. “Good, bad or indifferent there are a lot of people who don’t like Tom Brady, and I am OK with that.”

The report by investigator Ted Wells found some of his claims were implausible in explaining why balls were underinflated during the playoffs last season.

The superstar quarterback spoke at a Q&A ses-

sion moderated by sportscaster Jim Gray during a previously scheduled, soldout event at Salem State University. He arrived by helicopter for the talk on leadership, avoiding a long line of fans outside and media waiting for him to enter. The event was delayed more than 30 minutes to allow fans to file in, including some wearing Brady jerseys. During the wait, the crowd chanted “Brady” and “MVP,” then gave him a standing ovation as he walked in.

Gray said the session would largely stick to subjects they planned previously when they arranged the talk 4 months ago. But he acknowledged the difficulty in avoiding one of the

Runs. Alex Rodriguez just surpassed Willie Mays for sole possession of 4th place on baseball’s all-time home runs list.”

The slugger pumped his fist as he rounded first base, and fans gave Rodriguez, who didn’t play last year while serving a drug suspension, a standing ovation as he was greeted warmly in the dugout by his teammates.

“It’s a lot of fun to be part of,” said Brett Gardner, who pulled off Rodriguez’s helmet. “I know there’s a lot of questions surrounding everything. Still, 661 home runs is a lot.”

Mark Teixeira stayed out of the batter’s box as the cheers swelled. Rodriguez was encouraged by the Yankees to take a curtain call, and he said he looked to manager Joe Girardi for reassurance that it was OK. Then, ever so briefly, the

hottest topics in sports.

“There’s an elephant in the room,” Gray said.

“Where?” Brady responded.

Gray shot back: “You might be the only one in the room who does not see it.”

Gray did not ask Brady directly whether he cheated or about specific issues raised in the report, including text messages and phone conversations that indicated the employees were trading autographed footballs and sneakers for doctoring the balls.

Brady’s agent, Don Yee, said earlier Thursday that the NFL was determined to blame Brady for deflated footballs in the 45-7 win

over Indianapolis in the AFC title game, and the investigation omitted key facts and buried others.

The team didn’t respond to requests from The Associated Press seeking comment about the report from Brady and Patriots coach Bill Belichick. The Patriots didn’t make anyone available on Thursday, canceling prior plans to allow two players to be interviewed during voluntary team workouts held at the team’s headquarters in Foxborough.

The report didn’t find any evidence that Belichick or the coaching staff knew anything about deflating the balls.

Wells concluded there was no plausible explanation for the deflated footballs besides deliberate tampering. Text messages to and about Brady led to the conclusions that he was aware, if not more actively involved, in the scheme.

The NFL is now using Wells’ findings as it considers potential punishment. Brady, the MVP of the 2015 Super Bowl, could be fined or face a suspension. The Patriots are scheduled to play their opener against the Steelers in the kickoff game of the NFL regular season on Sept. 10.

three-time AL MVP jumped to the top step and thrust both hands above his head.

“When you’re productive you re-earn their respect and they pull for you,” Girardi said of the fans.

Rodriguez, who turns 40 in July, moved into a tie for fourth in the AL this season with seven home runs.

The Yankees and A-Rod have a marketing agreement that calls for $6 million each for up to five achievements, payable within 15 days of designation by the team. But New York has said the marketing possibilities were ruined after Rodriguez served his performance-enhancing drug penalty for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal.

The accomplishments were contemplated to be homers 660, 714, 755 (Hank Aaron), 762 (Barry Bonds) and 763 as he

moved up baseball’s list.

No payment likely would trigger a grievance on Rodriguez’s behalf by the players’ union. Without a settlement, the case would be heard by an arbitrator.

“That’s not where my mind is right now,” Rodriguez said. “I’m really just trying to enjoy this moment.”

Rodriguez was just 4 for 21 since his pinchhit homer into the seats above the Green Monster at Fenway Park gave New York the lead in the eighth inning Friday. To get that milestone long ball, Red Sox security traded several pieces of memorabilia autographed by David Ortiz.

Like his 600th homer on Aug 4, 2010, which landed in Monument Park, the 14-time All-Star had no trouble retrieving this ball.

Rodriguez singled in the seventh, closing within 38

hits of joining another elite club: 3,000 hits.

Teixeira’s RBI double in the fifth put New York ahead for good and kept Nathan Eovaldi (3-0) undefeated in six starts with the Yankees.

Eovaldi gave up solo shots to Jimmy Paredes and Caleb Joseph. Joseph also had an RBI double.

Andrew Miller pitched a hitless ninth against his former team for his 12th save.

Rodriguez came in 5 for 10 with three homers against Tillman (2-4) and, with runners on first and third in the first, he sent a 2-0 pitch to right field that got fans on their feet.

But Young, making just his fifth start this year in right field, perfectly timed his leap at the wall, his glove hitting on top of it behind the padding.

still pretty swollen.”

Wall, who led the Wizards with 17.6 points and 10 assists per game during the regular season, was not made available to speak with reporters.

“It’s definitely difficult for the team, but I’m sure it’s even more devastating for John,” forward Paul Pierce said. “He worked so hard to get to this point in his career, and to play so well throughout the playoffs and to hear that type of news, I know that’s devastating.”

Though he practiced following Sunday’s series-opening win in Atlanta, Wall was a surprise inactive for Game 2 Tuesday. With his left wrist noticeably swollen, the point guard struggled with various drills during pregame warm-ups.

Wittman didn’t rule Wall

out, but said, “We’ve got to be prepared as a team to play without him.”

“Who knows how long something like that is going to stay?” Wittman continued. “That would’ve been true today even if we didn’t have the report back of the broken bones.

I mean, his hand’s just so big, he can’t handle a ball, he can’t control anything.”

The fifth-year guard injured the hand when bracing himself as he fell along the baseline. He remained in the game and finished with 18 points and 13 assists in the 10498 win. Washington, fifth seed in the East, opened the playoffs with five straight wins.

“This is the toughest son-of-a-gun I’ve ever been around,” said Wittman, a former player in the league.

With numerous longtime NBA powers sidelined, ‘15 playoffs have fresh look

Roswell Daily Record

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

Spurs and Celtics?

Already eliminated.

Lakers and Heat? Didn’t even make the playoffs.

There’s a new look to this NBA postseason, which will crown a champion that hasn’t won the title in at least 17 years — or, quite possibly, a franchise that has never been on top.

“There is not just one dominant team,” Washington’s Bradley Beal said Thursday. “You’re not going to see the same teams.”

Indeed, of the eight conference semifinalists, the most recent to win a championship is the Chicago Bulls, who claimed the last of six Michael Jordan-era titles in 1998. The Houston Rockets are the only other multiple champion still playing, winning back-toback titles in 1994-95.

There are two franchises that won their only championships so long ago, well, one had a different nickname (the Washington Wizards were the Bullets when they took the 1978 title) and another was in a different city (the 1958 St. Louis Hawks, who moved to Atlanta a decade later).

The Golden State Warriors are 40 years removed from their lone championship season, but at least they’ve

got a banner.

The Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies have never won a title.

“I don’t think there’s any question that fresh faces and new teams invigorate the sport,” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said. “It adds new flavors for the fans to sample. And they like it. The game has never really been more popular on a global standpoint than it is right now.”

While the NBA was the first major North American league to put in a salary cap, it’s had the most exclusive group of champions. Over the last 16 years, just three teams — the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat — have hogged a total of 13 titles.

Going back even farther to the launch of the modern NBA in 1950, two teams — the Boston Celtics, with 17 banners, and the Lakers, who have a total of 15 including their time in Minneapolis — account for nearly half the championships.

That’s why this season really stands out for the NBA. “Whoever wins is going to be a brand new face,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

“That’s exciting for those of us who are still playing.”

anced lineup; the five starters averaged between 12 and 17 points a game.

Ball movement is now the order of the day, the isolation play largely viewed as a forgettable relic. With everyone sharing in this fast-paced style, it’s no longer necessary to have one of the five best players in the game to be a title contender.

“It’s more of a team game,” Hawks guard Jeff Teague said. “A team like us, that doesn’t have what you would call a superstar, can be a really good team.”

Some possible reasons for this changing of the playoff guard:

TEAM BALL

San Antonio proved last year that a team doesn’t need a megastar to win the title, and plenty of teams are trying to follow the Spurs model.

Most notable is Atlan-

ta, where the roster was expertly assembled by former Spurs executive Danny Ferry and the coach is Mike Budenholzer, a longtime assistant under San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich.

The Hawks went 60-22 and claimed a top seed in the East for the first time since 1994 with an absurdly bal-

Notre Dame QB Everett Golson transferring for final college season SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Everett Golson, once on track to be the winningest quarterback in Notre Dame history, is instead joining the long list of Fighting Irish quarterbacks who sought success elsewhere.

Golson announced Thursday he will use his final season of eligibility at another school, ending an up-and-down career for the Irish that included a trip to the national championship game, a season lost to a suspension over academics and a competition this spring with Malik Zaire for the starter’s job.

“After much thought, prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided that it is in my best interest to graduate from Notre Dame and transfer to another school effectively immediately,” Golson said

in a statement released to Fox Sports.

The 6-foot, 200-pound senior from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, thanked Notre Dame fans for their support and asked for privacy during what he called a life-changing moment. A call to his cellphone by The Associated Press wasn’t returned.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly issued a statement thanking Golson and wishing him well.

“He had many significant achievements, including helping us to an undefeated regular season and a berth into the national title game,” Kelly said.

There has been speculation about Golson possibly leaving Notre Dame since December, and along with that rumors about where he could transfer.

In this Aug. 19 file photo, Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson answers a question during media day for the NCAA college football team in South Bend, Ind.

While the NBA first instituted a salary cap in the 1980s, it was long nothing more than an annoyance for the power franchises, which were still able to go after pretty much anyone they wanted.

The lockout of 2011 changed that. Under the current collective bargaining agreement, there are shorter contracts and tougher financial penalties for teams that spend too much.

While it’s still too early to know exactly how much this CBA will affect the competitive balance, the league touts the measures as a means to getting more teams in the mix (and making the owners a lot more profitable).

With franchises now selling for astronomical amounts, the players figure to push back on these measures the next chance they get. No matter what, it figures to have a long-term impact on the way rosters are built and maintained.

WHERE’S LEBRON

It still helps to have the best player in the world.

And there’s no one better than LeBron James.

After heading to South Beach to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in 2010, James led Miami to four straight NBA Finals and two championships.

When James returned to Cleveland this season, the balance of power shifted northward. The Heat missed the playoffs, while the Cavaliers finished second in the East behind Atlanta.

Even with the King in the mix for another title, there will surely be a different look to the celebration.

“That’s what the NBA really wants,” Atlanta’s Kyle Korver said. “They want everyone to feel that if you manage your team well, put a good team together, coach them well and play hard, it doesn’t matter if you’re a big market or a small market.

You’re going to have a chance.”

Floyd Mayweather to Showtime: Pacquiao a ‘sore loser’ and ‘coward’ NEW YORK (AP) — Floyd Mayweather said in an upcoming interview with Showtime that at this moment he’s not interested in a rematch with Manny Pacquiao “because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward.”

The interview was recorded late Tuesday night and will air Saturday night after the network’s replay of boxing’s richest fight, which Mayweather won by decision last weekend in Las Vegas to stay undefeated.

Asked if he thought Pacquiao was hampered by the right shoulder injury that later required surgery, Mayweather tells Jim Gray, “Absolutely not.”

“Excuses, excuses, excuses,” he said later.

“He was fast,” Mayweather insists in quotes released Thursday. “His left

hand was fast. His right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.”

Using an expletive for emp h asis, Mayweath er adds that “I’m not going to buy into” it, “and I don’t want the public to buy into” it.

“He lost,” Mayweather said. “He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.”

Mayweather acknowledges that he earlier texted ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith to say he welcomed a rematch.

“Yeah, but I change my mind,” Mayweather said.

“At this particular time, no, because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward. . If you lost, accept the loss and say, ‘Mayweather, you were the better fighter.’”

to do it for the Dodgers since James Loney drove in nine against Colorado in 2006.

“He’s been swinging the bat well for a few days now.

It seems like he’s kind of caught fire,” manager Don Mattingly said.

Starting in a day game after A.J. Ellis caught the previous night, Grandal went 4 for 4 with two singles and two walks.

Grandal’s previous career high for RBIs was five, done last Sept. 25 when he homered twice against San Francisco.

Alex Guerrero also homered for the Dodgers, his sixth.

Milwaukee, with the worst record in the majors, split a four-game series with the NL West leaders after Craig Counsell replaced fired manager Ron Roenicke.

Carlos Frias (3-0) won for

the second time in as many starts. He gave up three runs and six hits in five innings, striking out six and walking one.

“I was able to control both sides of the plate,” he said.

When asked if his two starts should earn him a regular spot in the Dodgers rotation, Frias said: “I just get ready to do anything they tell me to do to help the team win. My goal is to stay here.”

Mike Fiers (1-4) was lifted in the sixth after walking Guerrero and giving up a triple to Andre Ethier.

Fiers allowed five runs on five hits and five walks, and fanned eight.

Adam Lind hit a solo home run and an RBI single for the Brewers. Adrian Gonzalez blooped a two-run single for the Dodgers.

Grandal drives in 8, homers twice as Dodgers rout Brewers MILWAUKEE (AP) — Going into the sixth inning, Yasmani Grandal was having a rather nice game — a single, plus a pair of walks.

After that, he turned into a regular Babe Ruth.

Grandal drove in eight runs, hitting two homers and reaching base six times Thursday to power the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Milwaukee Brewers 14-4.

It was tied at 3 through five innings and Grandal had zero RBIs up to that point. He had totaled two home runs and just four RBIs this year before breaking loose at Miller Park.

“I want to get those RBIs, so I was pressing a lot,” he said.

Grandal’s two-run single capped a four-run sixth inning. He hit a three-run homer into the second deck in right field in the eighth and launched another

Florida congressman Listeria found in Blue Bell ice cream plant in 2013, according to investigation Clawson flipped shares in IPO despite US law

WASHINGTON (AP) — Blue Bell ice cream had evidence of listeria bacteria in its Oklahoma manufacturing plant as far back as March 2013, a government investigation found.

The Texas-based company continued to ship ice cream produced in that plant after what the Food and Drug Administration says was inadequate cleaning.

Three listeria deaths in Kansas are now linked to the ice cream, along with seven other illnesses in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona. Blue Bell Creameries recalled all of its products last month, following several smaller recalls.

The FDA on Thursday released results of its investigations into Blue Bell’s plants in Oklahoma, Texas and Alabama after a Freedom of Information request

by The Associated Press.

The most extensive violations were found in Oklahoma, where the FDA listed 17 separate positive tests for listeria found on equipment and in other locations in the plant from March 2013 through February 2015.

The FDA would not say who conducted the tests, but it noted that Blue Bell sent “presumptive positive” listeria samples to a third party for confirmation on at least two occasions in 2014.

The auditors re-tested the samples and came back with the same results.

Blue Bell continued to have presumptive positive listeria results in the Oklahoma plant even after the daily cleaning and sanitizing treatments of equipment and facilities, the FDA wrote Blue Bell in the report. The listeria was found on surfaces that did not have direct contact with food, the report said.

In this April 10 file photo, Blue Bell delivery trucks are parked at the creamery’s location in Kansas City, Kansas.

Neither Blue Bell nor the FDA has said why the Oklahoma plant was not closed after repeated findings of listeria. FDA officials have so far declined to discuss the report or the history of the testing.

After the test results were made public, Blue Bell CEO Paul Kruse said in a statement it would be “several months at a minimum” before its ice cream is back in stores. The company had said earlier that it expected to be back up and running this month.

Blue Bell said in its statement that its facilities remain closed indefinitely as it cleans and sanitizes them. The company did not comment on any of the violations listed in the report.

Violations in the Oklahoma plant include dirty equipment, inadequate food storage, food being held at improper temperatures and employees not washing hands appropriately, according to the report.

Employees wore dirty shoes in the plant and soiled, porous wood pallets were used for ingredient storage and transportation. The FDA also said the company did not do enough testing for possible food contamination.

There were also violations reported at the Texas and Alabama plants. In Alabama, FDA investigators observed at least two employees working close to the food while wearing dirty clothing. In Texas, investigators saw condensation dripping directly into food and onto surfaces that came directly in contact with food. In all of the plants, the FDA found moist, dirty equipment and building infrastructure and disrepair that made cleaning difficult.

Blue Bell said it is making upgrades to equipment and building design as part of its cleaning.

Listeria generally only affects the elderly, people

with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborn infants. It can cause fever, muscle aches and gastrointestinal symptoms and can be fatal. It also can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature labor, and serious illness or death in newborn babies.

The three deaths were in the same hospital in Kansas. All of those who died had already been hospitalized for other conditions.

Listeria bacteria are found in soil and water that can be tracked into a facility or carried by animals. Listeria can be very difficult to get rid of once it contaminates a processing facility, partly because it grows well in refrigeration. It is commonly found in processed meats, unpasteurized cheeses and unpasteurized milk, and it is sometimes found in other foods as well — listeria in cantaloupes was linked to 30 deaths in a 2011 outbreak.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A multimillionaire, firstterm Florida congressman flipped shares in a solar company the same day he acquired them in an initial public offering, despite a federal law that generally prohibits members of Congress from participating in IPOs. Republican Rep. Curt Clawson, who gave the tea party’s response to the president’s State of the Union address earlier this year, earned less than $700 profit on the sale of less than $15,000 in shares of SolarEdge Technologies Inc. of Fremont, California, according to financial records and Clawson’s spokesman, David James.

And James says the trade on March 26 was lawful. “We feel like every requirement of the law was met,” he said Thursday.

Despite the small stakes, however, the trade may test a provision of a 2012 law, the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act. Known as the Stock Act, it was intended to prevent members of Congress and legislative employees from using inside information or profiting in unseemly ways. One provision bans lawmakers and staff members from buying stock during initial offerings unless the same opportunity is “available to members of the public generally.”

The House Ethics Committee has twice formally reminded lawmakers that the general public is rarely allowed to participate in IPOs, and it advises members of Congress to ask its advice in advance to determine whether such a purchase by them would be permissible.

Investment banks and brokerages traditionally reserve IPOs for their favored customers.

“IPO allocations are candy (that) banks occasionally hand out to their most profitable customers,” said Jay Ritter, a

professor of finance at the University of Florida who studies IPOs. “This allocation would not have been available to the general public.”

Clawson’s spokesman, James, told The Associated Press that the opportunity to invest in SolarEdge’s initial public offering was available to any investor with an account at the same brokerage as Clawson.

“It has ‘public’ right there in the name,” James said.

SolarEdge’s IPO price was $18, but the first public trading price was $20.05. Shares peaked that day at $21.89 before closing at $20.70. It was not immediately clear at what price Clawson sold his stock. It opened Thursday at $26.16.

James declined to say whether Clawson sought permission from the House Ethics Committee or to identify which brokerage firm Clawson used. At least one of the banks managing the SolarEdge IPO, Goldman Sachs of New York, does not generally accept brokerage clients who have less than $10 million in liquid assets. Clawson’s net worth is estimated at $26 million. He is a former auto parts industry executive and Purdue University basketball star who was elected in June to replace Rep. Trey Radel, who resigned from Congress after his conviction for cocaine possession.

In a previous case, Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, acknowledged in November 2013 — 11 months after he was elected — that he accepted IPO investments offered by his stock broker. O’Rourke said he was not familiar with the rules.

The ethics committee closed the case after O’Rourke acknowledged he may have violated the law and followed the committee’s advice to sell his remaining shares. He surrendered his $7,136 profit to the U.S. Treasury.

Roswell Daily Record

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I represented my daughter “Stacy” and her husband as their real estate agent. When any of my children purchase a home, I waive my commission.

My daughter knew I had been trying to finance a trip to South America for my husband so he could complete his “bucket list.”

She gave me a cruise on one of the most expensive cruise lines and airfare to South America as a gift for helping with their home purchase.

After my husband reviewed the itinerary, he said it wasn’t

the trip he had in mind and wanted to know if my daughter could change it. I was embarrassed to ask her after receiving such a gracious gift. He became indignant and said if she really wanted to give him something he wanted, she wouldn’t mind changing the trip.

I told Stacy I couldn’t accept her gift because it was too much money. My husband is now angry with me because he feels I am the person at fault for the loss of the trip. Is my husband right that we should request a gift exchange from the giver, or was I justified for not accepting it in light of the fact that it was too much money?

JUST WANTS PEACE

DEAR JUST WANTS PEACE: Your husband sounds like a handful. HE was at fault. Your mistake was allowing him to put you in the middle.

I’m sorry you fibbed to your daughter about why you refused her generosity, because the

Comics expense had nothing to do with it. Your husband’s ingratitude had everything to do with it.

Because the cruise didn’t suit him, HE should have spoken to her and asked if the itinerary could be adjusted. That way nothing could have been lost in translation, and he might have gotten his wish.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: During WWII, while I was overseas in the Navy, I received a “Dear John” letter. It was devastating, especially because I was so far away and unable to immediately respond. Do you think it is appropriate for a person to send such a letter while the person is far away, especially while in the service, or should the person wait until the service member returns home and say it’s over face-to-face?

After all these years, I have heard many pros and cons about this question. I can think of no one else with such a

Friday, May 8, 2015

wealth of knowledge in this area to ask but you. After hearing from you, I will finally put this to rest.

JOHN IN VINELAND, N.J. DEAR JOHN: A decade ago I would have said ­— and DID tell someone — to wait until the person came home. My thinking was the news might demoralize the recipient and distract the person enough to get her/him killed.

I CHANGED MY MIND after hearing from service members stationed in the Middle East who told me I was wrong -- that it’s better to get the word while there were buddies close by who could be emotionally supportive. They suggested that if the service member hears the news when he gets back — alone and possibly traumatized by what he or she has been through — that it could make the person more vulnerable to suicide.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: I read with interest about TRASH BINS being left out on the street. What worries me is that some are kept in garages. They can pose a fire hazard if stored in the wrong place. If ashes from a fireplace or rags containing linseed oil were to be put in these containers, they can cause the contents to ignite.

They should not be kept in a garage or up against the side of a home.

My neighbor almost lost her home. She put what she thought were cold ashes from her fireplace in the trash bin. The bin was up against her home and under the eave. Her smoke alarm saved her.

I stained my deck and tossed the rag in my trash can. A couple of hours later, my wife informed me that the can had smoke coming out of it. I store cans away from my home and have alerted my neighbors of the danger.

D.H., a retired fire captain, via email

Good advice indeed! The possibility that a trash can might ignite when something apparently “innocent” is put in it is high.

As noted, something that seems harmless (fireplace ashes “seem” cold) may not be! Rags that were used with linseed oil can and have spontaneously combusted when tossed into a small container.

That said, most folks do keep the big trash can in the garage, if possible. Maybe this is a good point to bring up at a homeowners meeting.

Readers, please THINK before “trashing” anything that may cause a fire.

Heloise

P.S.: D.H., I had to edit your letter down for space, but the meaning is clear. Thanks again!

Dear Heloise: When traveling, I use slider-lock plastic bags for toiletries: one for morning, one for nighttime and one for items used both morning and night. At the destination, it is easy to carry into the bathroom. I keep a list in each bag showing the items normally kept in it. I keep the empty bags in my suitcase, ready for the next trip.

Barbara G. in Houston

Dear Heloise: I love to geocache and letterbox. (It is like a scavenger hunt in nature.) I often have to stick my hands in dirty places or in bushes that may scratch, etc. I love this hobby and do it often.

I started keeping a pair of gloves in my car. They have come in handy for so many other things, too: pumping gas, picking up trash, etc. It’s always good to have a pair of gloves with you!

Yancy K. in Alabama Dear Heloise: I am a granny who transports four young granddaughters on a regular basis. When it is cold, we have trouble correctly buckling their car-seat harnesses over heavy coats. Here is our answer: We buckle them in their seats, then put their coats on them backward, tucking them in around the sides. Safe and warm!

has exposed Republicans to Democratic criticism that they favor the rich.

Rubio is not exempt from that, despite presenting himself as a champion of the middle class.

“What he says he wants to do and what he actually does are two very different things,” said Howard Gleckman of the Tax Policy Center, who has studied the outline put forward by Rubio and Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee. The institute is a research organization of the centrist Brookings Institution and left-of-center Urban Institute.

Rubio’s campaign said he wasn’t available for an interview, but in his writings he argues that Democratic solutions have not worked.

“For conservatives especially, this is a defining moment,” the Florida senator writes in his book “American Dreams.” ‘‘The failure of government-centered, command-and-control liberalism to lift the poor and sustain the middle class is apparent as never before. Whether we are able to step forward with our own solutions — and not simply rail against the expansion of the state

— will determine our future as a movement.”

In his book, Rubio floats several proposals to make college more affordable and for government to give money directly to low-income workers earning up to $40,000 a year. These ideas are not as fleshed out as his still-evolving tax plan.

His plan would set just two rates: 15 percent for those making less than $75,000 (or families earning under $150,000) and 35 percent for all making more. That would bring the top tax rate down only by four percentage points, not enough, some conservative economists complain, to stimulate growth adequately.

The main benefit to the wealthy would come from eliminating all taxes on investment income, which is how most of the nation’s richest people make their money.

“A tax reform that’d make Mitt Romney’s tax liability close to zero is going to strike most Americans as weird and not beneficial to them,” said James Pethokoukis of the conservative American Enterprise Institute. He said Rubio’s plan has eco-

nomic merits but political hurdles. “It’s a heavy lift.”

The plan replaces most deductions with a credit of up to $2,000 per filer and expands the child tax credit to $2500 to aid families, a long-held goal of some conservatives who complain the GOP’s tax policy is too focused on cutting top rates and not enough on helping regular Americans. Finally, the plan would reduce all corporate taxes to 25 percent and eliminates double taxation on business investment.

Grover Norquist, a prominent low-tax activist, praised Rubio’s tax plan, predicting its credits for middle class families would be enough to win voters’ support even if more benefit might go to the wealthy. “My 6-yearold worries her sister’s getting a bigger ice cream cone than she is,” Norquist said. “But most people are just happy to get an ice cream cone.”

But some conservatives complain Rubio’s plan does not cut the rates paid by the wealthiest Americans enough. “A 35 percent top rate is too high,” said Daniel Mitchell, an analyst at the Cato Institute.

Rubio tax plan shows challenge of GOP wage-stagnation fight DENVER (AP) — In the traffic jam that is the Republican presidential race, Sen. Marco Rubio stands out — and not just for his youth and blue-collar, Cuban-American biography.

Rubio has issued the most detailed economic agenda to aid the middle class, anchored by a book on countering the wage stagnation that has exacerbated inequality between the rich and the rest.

Rivals Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and others have similarly decried the growing gap between the haves and have-nots, signaling that Republicans are eager to address a traditionally Democratic issue after seven years of disappointing economic growth.

But the party’s challenges in doing so are laid bare by Rubio’s single biggest economic proposal — a massive tax cut bound to drive up the debt by as much s $4 trillion over the first decade.

That approach is in keeping with right-leaning economic thinking, that the best way to spark growth and increase wages is to reduce the tax burden on businesses, the wealthy and investors. But that

Christie billed state $85K on VIP boxes; GOP reimbursed it MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spent $85,000 in public money to entertain in luxury boxes at sports venues between 2010 and early 2012, when state Republicans started to pay for the expenses and reimbursed the state for those already incurred.

The money came from an account, worth $95,000 a year, that Christie can use to pay for official entertainment or other expenses associated with his job.

The details of spending from that account were obtained

by The Associated Press via the state’s open records law.

Much of Christie’s spending from the account is used to pay for entertaining at the governor’s mansion, known as Drumthwacket.

Though Christie does not live there, the state’s budget provides money for the property’s maintenance, official receptions and “other expenses.”

The documents obtained by the AP do not list at which events, including those at the sports venues, the governor was entertaining and who was present.

The expenses are allowed by state law and do not include the cost of using luxury boxes at MetLife Stadium, Prudential Arena and the Izod Center, which are provided to the state for use by the governor. The sports facilities are all in northern

New Jersey.

A spokesman said a reporter seeking that information should make another open records request; the administration has denied that kind of request in the past, saying no records exist.

“The official nature and business purpose of the event remains the case regardless of whether the event is at the State House, Drumthwacket, or at a sporting venue,” Christie spokesman Kevin Roberts said in a statement Thursday.

The Christie administration decided in 2012 to stop using the account to pay for food and other expenses at the arenas. The change was made less than a year after Christie came under fire for using a state helicopter to attend one of his son’s baseball games.

“The governor made the decision that costs associated with hosting at the sporting venues were better paid with non-state funds,” Roberts said.

In 2012, the New Jersey Republican State Committee repaid the state for the expenses accrued in 2010 and 2011, minus $3,367.22 which it reimbursed the Department of the Treasury this week after the governor’s office discovered the discrepancy while reviewing the documents requested by AP.
