Street names, behavioral health top mayor’s Q&A Jeff Jackson Record City Editor

On Thursday, Mayor Dennis Kintigh came to the Roswell Daily Record for a monthly question-and-answer session covering a wide range of subjects.

RDR: Let’s go with the current topic of potentially renaming some streets in Roswell, specifically Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez. What’s your overall feeling about just renaming the streets for those two?

DK: Let me just say this about renaming streets period. I’m very reluctant to rename streets without the concurrence of the people who live and work there because they’re the

ones who have to deal with having to change all their addresses, letting everybody know, changing all the business accounts.

That’s a significant imposition on people and it’s not trivial. It really isn’t. So going through an address change we need to make sure the people if it’s done — regardless of what we change it to, I don’t care, whatever name — but it has to be done, I would expect to have it done with the concurrence of those impacted. Otherwise you’re gonna cause more problems than you want to. I understand the concept of trying to unify the community, bring the community together. You don’t bring

a community together by going around and imposing something on this person over here and tell them they have no say in it. That doesn’t work. That just upsets people and makes more, shall we say, displeased people.

RDR: I think that’s the point councilman Henderson brought up, was it Monday or Tuesday, in the streets meeting?

DK: I actually went, last Thursday a week ago, was at the Democratic Party, Chaves County Democratic party, got invited, so I went down chatted with them. This came up and that’s what I said to them, too. So that’s where I’m at. I understand the cost issues. There’s some money

issues there, too. I’m more concerned about what’s the impact on the people who live and work on that street wherever it is.

RDR: So theoretically then, not theoretically, let’s say hypothetically, 100 percent of the people on the street say go for it, the cost then is not (a factor)?

DK: Cost becomes a trade-off there. I don’t know where my comfort level is on cost versus changing (the names).

You know I have a proposal I’d like to throw out there. I think a place we could rename, a thoroughfare that we could rename that is prominent,

Staff Report

A Carlsbad woman who had been convicted of armed robbery has pleaded guilty to illegally possessing rifles in Eddy County.

Deloris Lozuaway, 61, pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court in Las Cruces, without the benefit of a plea agreement, to two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Lozuaway was arrested Aug. 11, 2014, in Denver, by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

She was transferred to New Mexico to face the federal charges in an indictment alleging she unlawfully possessed a firearm on Feb. 15, 2013 and on March 7, 2013, in Eddy County.

According to court filings, Lozuaway was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because she had been convicted of armed robbery and false pretenses.

Lozuaway admitted possessing rifles in February 2013 and March 2013. She also admitted she was prohibited from possessing firearms because she is a convicted felon.

Lozuaway has been in federal custody since her arrest and remains detained pending her sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled. She faces a maximum possible sentence of 10 years in federal prison.

The case was investigated by the Las Cruces office of the ATF.

SANTA FE (AP) — A Senate-approved measure that would ban coyote-killing contests in New Mexico has stalled in the House.

The House Agriculture, Water and Wildlife Committee voted 8-2 Friday to table the measure sponsored by Republican Sen. Mark Moores of Albuquerque and Democrat Rep. Jeff Steinborn.

It marked the measure’s first committee hearing in the House. The Senate approved the bill earlier this month.

Roswell dentist Bowles retires after 38 years

By Bill Moffitt Special to the Daily Record After 38 years in dentistry — 33 of which were in Roswell — Robert Bowles is passing the baton to fellow dentist Scott Burnett and retiring. He plans to stay in Roswell and possibly do some traveling after his wife, Nancy — a former Roswell High School AP English teacher — retires in May. Nancy Bowles is currently a reading coach at Nancy Lopez Elementary School.

“I’m just hanging around,” Bowles said.

“The transition took place in January.”

Critics say the measure would encroach on property rights and the ability of rural landowners and ranchers to control coyote populations.

Animal rights advocates vowed Friday to continue the push for a ban.

In October, a southeastern New Mexico gun shop drew criticism for hosting a coyote-hunting competition. It was one of many gun shops that have hosted similar events in which winners receive prizes such as firearms.

Roswell man pleads guilty to dealing meth

Pancakes o’ plenty for a good cause

Staff Report A Roswell man has pleaded guilty to federal charges of methamphetamine trafficking in Artesia.

Dominic A. Sedillo, 23, pleaded guilty Friday in federal court in Las Cruces to a two-count indictment charging him with distributing methamphetamine in Eddy County on April 25, 2013, and on June 5, 2013.

Sedillo was arrested in Roswell on Jan. 24, 2014.

In his guilty plea, Sedillo admitted selling 24 grams of methamphetamine for $1,200 in April 2013, and Timothy P. Howsare Photo

To raise funds for Shriners Children’s Hospitals, IHOP restaurants across America on Tuesday are hosting National Pancake Day. The Roswell IHOP will give a short stack of pancakes free to customers from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. In lieu of paying for the pancakes, patrons are asked to make a contribution to Shriners Children’s Hospitals. Since 1922, Shriners hospitals have treated more than 1 million children free of charge. The 22 hospitals, which are operated entirely by donations, specialize in providing medical care to kids with burn injuries. Last year, 130,000 children were treated. The cost to operate the hospitals is more than $2 million per day. Mayor Dennis Kintigh, second from left, read a proclamation over the PA system inside the restaurant to announce the event. With Kintigh are, from left, Mike Aziz, Roswell IHOP, and Shriners Dave Brown, Mike Barajas and Dick Smith.

Runners brave cold on trek to nation’s capital Staff Report A group of runners from Race Across the USA on Friday started running 12 miles west of Roswell and ran to the bottom of the hill east of Roswell on U.S. 380. They weren’t able to continue because of the road closure, so instead of running 26.2 miles, a full marathon ,as they usually do, they were only able to run 19 miles. They plan to make up the seven or so miles over the next few days. In three more days, they will reach the Texas border near Brownfield.

The Race Across the USA is a 3,080-mile transcontinental coast to coast footrace from California to the White House in Washington, D.C. The motivating cause for this event is the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. At the present time, 12.5 million children, ages 6-19 in the United States, are obese.

Many more are overweight.

Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer and osteoarthritis.

The goals for the Race Across the USA are threefold:

Authorities said both transactions occurred in Artesia.

Sedillo remains in federal custody pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.

At sentencing, Sedillo faces a prison sentence of at least five years and not more than 40 years, followed by at least four years of supervised release.

The case was investigated by the Las Cruces office of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.

degree at the University of Kentucky School of Dentistry in Lexington, Kentucky.

As a military dentist he was assigned to San Antonio, Texas, and was later transferred to the White Sands Missile Range near Alamogordo, where he grew fond of New Mexico.

Bowles had considered staying in the military and his wife was pursuing a degree in dentistry herself but they decided that their five children should come first. The decision came soon after he was to be transferred to Ft. Wainwright near Anchorage, Alaska.

“When Nancy got the brochure that said that you can’t let the kids wander outside in the winter or they’d freeze to death she put the plug on that pretty quick,” Bowles said. “Temperatures there can get down to 50 below zero.”

Born to a coal mining family, Bowles first got the

idea to be a dentist after he had several chipped front teeth fixed. He also had thought about going into research and teaching.

“When I was 16, I had some teeth cracked in the front from sports,” Bowles explained. “I had some crowns put on and I was impressed with the change that it made in my smile.

That gave me the impetus to look into getting into dentistry later on.”

For a while his wife helped in his office as an assistant and at the front desk. She also worked nights as a registered nurse at the old St. Mary’s Hospital.

“She’s only a few hours away from getting her PhD in education (at UNM),” Bowles said. “She’ll probably finish that and work part-time after we retire.”

“It’s been a great career.

We’ve loved Roswell. I’ve worked with some wonderful colleagues over the years,” Bowles said.

that has nobody living on it or any businesses located on it would be the Relief Route. And I don’t know how you do that. I don’t know if you divide part of it, make one part Cesar Chavez and the other part Martin Luther King.

I don’t know if that’s even something people would want to look at. But the Relief Route is prominent, everybody passes over it or drives on it that goes through town, around town. And there wouldn’t be any impact on anybody like I’m talking about.

Nobody’s address would have to get changed. So I just throw that out there to see what the reaction is.

RDR: The state and the postal service, city agencies, government agencies probably would have to make some type of adjustment.

DK: I think the state and maybe the county but nobody gets mail out there.

There’s no addresses on it so I think the Relief Route could be done. Maybe it’s not what people want but let’s keep talking about this.

RDR: Would you identify that, your proposal, as a better way of handling the issue and satisfying community concerns? Is there another way?

DK: This is just Dennis floating an idea. I wouldn’t necessarily call it Dennis’ proposal. Dennis is floating an idea and saying “What does everybody think of this?” Maybe it’s a dumb idea.

RDR: I can see that proposal is too strong of a word there.

DK: Let’s just call it my idea, trial balloon.

RDR: On the same vein, if you will, can you address why the city had never had an ordinance in place that dealt with potentially renaming the streets or naming new streets?

DK: I’m speculating here.

I don’t think it’s come up before. I mean changing a street name, I don’t think we do that very often, if ever. I know we’ve renamed parks. We have a Martin Luther King Park down on South Union. But I don’t know if we’ve ever had this issue seriously debated about, renaming streets.

RDR: Is there a plan or an idea to rehire a new city spokesman, marketing director? Is it financially feasible?

DK: Yeah. What (City Manager) Steve Polasek and I have been talking about for quite a while is redefining this whole city government structure.

That’s one of the things we talked about in our workshop. And not so much just a public information officer but someone that would work with economic development and something to do with interacting with the state and how that looks and how those duties are defined, it’s on the to-do list that we haven’t gotten to yet. We just hired, and he’s accepted, an administrative services director and that person is hopefully going to report the next two or three weeks. Guy’s name is Jonathan Phillips.

He comes from, believe it or not, Keller, Texas. That’s where Steve came from.

But what you’re seeing here is building of the team to kind of do that. One of the things we’ve talked about is to bring Todd (Wildermuth) over from the P.D. Do we do that, does he stay at the

P.D., does it all become one entity?

Candidly we all know I’ve been kinda your P.I.O. for the city. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. I’m not able to be proactive to say “Hey guys by the way this is happening. Maybe it’s of interest to you and maybe it’s not.” But you guys need to have that.

You need to have someone who can say to you this is what’s going on, you need to have somebody reach out to you. Not just you the newspaper but you the media. And you guys can evaluate “Is this something worth our time and energy or not?” A question comes up. You need to be able to call someone and say, “We’re hearing X, Y and Z.” Well I’m not always going to be in a position to run it down because I’m doing mayor stuff. You need to have somebody who can respond to you.

When I was in the FBI back in Washington D.C., I did a stint as an assistant public information officer for the FBI office there and I learned early on you got to make sure that if you’re gonna do that role that you got to be available, you got to be able to track down the information that’s needed, you need to know what the deadlines are, you need to be able to say ‘when do I need to get back to you?’ ... That’s a concept you need to have in building your public information officer to get you guys what you need when you need it.

RDR: I have to admit, I don’t know a whole lot about your background and what else you do currently. Are you one of these mayors like in other cities, larger cities even, that are quote unquote part-time mayor because you have family duties, you have business duties?

DK: My wife calls this my part-time, full-time, overtime job. I am retired FBI, did a few other things off and on but right now this is what I get up every morning and do. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I work 24 hours a day but every day there’s a piece of it that I’m doing. And I try to keep it in balance. You won’t always find me there before 10:30 but you’ll find me there until 5:30, 6. And then we have council meetings that go into the evening. So I try to balance it. I don’t want to become all-consuming because this is a kind of job that could become every waking moment so I try to preserve a little bit of time.

RDR: You don’t have a grocery store you run on the side or you’re not a contractor or a real estate agent and Realtor?

DK: This is my full-time job because candidly when

I ran for this position that was my attitude that this is going to require full time.

The challenges are serious.

We’re looking at making some major changes to this community. I think the voters voted clearly a year ago.

Let’s be candid. I defeated the incumbent 69 percent to 31 percent. So there’s an expectation out there on the part of the voters that things are gonna be done better and differently and I have to match or meet that expectation.

RDR: In the study shop, workshop, study session — there’s like eight different ways to describe those things — one of the things that came up was working on a system to keep local talent here, college graduates, high school graduates, kids who are studying on the side and working. How do you keep somebody here? What mechanisms are being developed to say “Hey we don’t want you going to Albuquerque, we don’t want you going to L.A. There’s a spot for you right here.”

DK: Interesting question. There’s two aspects.

One, there has to be quality employment and, two, it has to be a quality of life.

Quality employment, quality of life. I would maintain we’ve already got the quality employment here because if you talk to people, whether it’s in the aviation industry, Aersale, Dean Baldwin, agriculture, by that I mean like Leprino, you look at the oil and gas industry — yeah I know it’s down but it doesn’t stay down — the hospitals, all of these have requirements for young professionals to come in. Leprino is a monstrously complex, highly technological operation. Aviation, same thing. American agriculture in general is actually more sophisticated technologically and educationally than most people realize. So I think the quality employment is already there. You talk to enough of these guys they’re all saying “we’re trying to attract people, we’re trying to bring people in.” So what are we going to do about quality of life. It becomes an interesting little issue and one that I’ve turned around in my head. I think to enhance our quality of life you build on our tourism industry.

By that I mean is this. We have a lot of people come here. If we can enhance the experience that tourists have so that they stay longer we will have more things like nice restaurants and nice places to go in the evening, places of entertainment, engagement.

You’ll have a finer standard of living. And that in turn benefits the residents when you have more options of

Sunday, March 1, 2015

where you want to go for dinner or what you want to do tonight.

So how do we get the tourists who are coming here, because we have a brand, Roswell, New Mexico, that is known literally worldwide. How do we build on that brand? What I’ve been pushing is the idea of working with the folks who are already doing this, build an arts and culture district downtown.

Where the actual boundaries are, are open but generally what we’re talking about is from east of the railroad tracks to west of Pennsylvania, anywhere from the Hondo River to the Spring River. Those are very vague terms. Some of the things you’ve already got here is a UFO museum — 180,000 visitors a year from all over the world. So that’s the draw. This children’s museum that I’ve been talking about and encouraging our participation in, that concept would be 2 1/2 blocks away, easy walking distance and that becomes an anchor. And what you do in between is you encourage, the city doesn’t do it, but you encourage private groups or businessmen to develop some of that. We’ve got that young professional group that wants to restore the old Roswell Motor Supply that’s on Virginia and Second. That kind of activity and candidly there’s people who have already done that down there. The Ragsdales deserve a lot of credit. They have Pecos Flavors Winery, they also have The Liberty, both of which are right there in that area. Stellar Coffee, that’s another example. ...

Candidly, there’s people that’ve been there for years.

Don Bullock, Bullock’s Jewelry, never left Main Street. He’s still there. He’s an anchor. If you go up to Albuquerque, there off of I-40 is Winrock Mall. Winrock Mall had basically a near-death experience. It almost completely died but it’s your traditional indoor mall. Two blocks from there is Uptown Albuquerque. Uptown Albuquerque is a faux downtown. It’s all outdoors. OK, wait a minute. We got a real downtown right here. How do we attract, what do we put in there? We got to be careful here because government cannot drive this. We can do something like work collaboratively with a private businessman to get an eyesore cleaned up and a quality project put in. The interactive children’s museum with the carousel, right there. And I left out Third

Street Station, right across the railroad tracks, on the wrong side of the tracks.

We encourage and work with other individuals to turn that area around. The objective here isn’t for me to master plan. I’m not going to go tell them what to do with their property but to encourage them to do something. Now folks coming through from Texas stop, maybe they go to the UFO Museum, they walk over, they do some other things. This is a concept.

And there’s other things that we can look at to enhance the experience. We want to make it engaging enough so that people will want to spend more time and, candidly, more dollars here. ... Back to the original point. We’ve already got the quality work, now we need to get the quality of life.

RDR: What do you know about a couple of construction deals going on here, small. There’s one on Country Club and the other two on North Main?

DK: You raise an interesting point here. We don’t have a city planner right now. The city planner position is open. We’re advertising for a city planner. Not the immediate previous city planner but the one before him was a young man who did a monthly report that appeared in the paper.

What are all the projects?

One of our objectives is to get back to that. This goes back to that, once again, that information officer role. The city planner sits down with the information officer, the planner and officer go over everything. ... Now what you’ve got is a mayor who knows a few things but I’m not on top of it, like all of that.

RDR: There’s probably no single person in town. You know a little bit, I know a little bit and this guy over here that sent us an email knows a little bit but there’s not a pinpoint person.

DK: That’s part of this whole issue of information plus the planning. This is the building of the team.

We’ve got to build a team.

RDR: Again, new business construction. Panda Express — have you heard anything?

DK: I heard a rumor but I don’t know. There’s a building just north of Economy Motors that has been

bought by a restaurant developer. I understand it’s the guy who built the new McDonald’s or the company that built the new McDonald’s that’s just next to Economy Motors on the other side of Main Street.

That’s the only new eating establishment I’m aware of and I don’t know what’s going in there. Nobody has told me.

RDR: Is there a dredging work or an effort going on with the Hondo River?

DK: Down on Main Street they’re putting in erosion-retention. That’s going on right there and in places they’re kinda putting a bottom in. If you get down there and walk around it — Mr. Polasek and I go down there — it’s like concrete blocks with holes in them so drainage can go down but you can move a vehicle along there if you get what I’m saying. They’re doing erosion-retention by putting in concrete sides, if you will, on both sides of the Hondo and how that goes I’m not sure. And that’s been going on for a while.

This time I came with something I’d like to throw out if I may, “March Out the Trash.” This builds or continues to build on that clean-and-safe theme that I ran on a year ago. I believe, fundamentally in my heart, that appearance affects behavior. If you have a disorderly community people will behave in a disorderly manner. It’s that broken-windows concept. So if you have a neater and cleaner place people tend to be less chaotic in their lives. This is not a magic wand. Don’t get me wrong, but I think it all contributes and it impacts us. It also affects how we are perceived by visitors. I give Mr. Polasek tremendous credit because he took ownership of the issue of how does the city look to people coming in at the airport. And I tell you I was not party to this.

Our city manager went down there with some key people from staff, including airport folks. They walked all the way outside the terminal onto the tarmac where people get off the planes, got their notepads out and started looking. If See KINTIGH, Page A6

Roswell Daily Record

Stop the immigration flood

Washington is such a phony city. Maybe that’s why it has such a good relationship with Hollywood.

In the sequel to a “film” we have seen many times before, the Department of Homeland Security may “shut down” Saturday because of a dispute between the Obama administration and the new Republican congressional majority over funding for the president’s immigration orders, which, writes The Hill.com, would “provide deferred deportations and work visas to illegal immigrants.” In essence, the orders would grant them the equivalent of squatter’s rights.

DHS doesn’t have to shut down. Most employees will show up for work, though they might have to go without pay for a while, at least until Congress gets its act together, as it has in previous politically motivated closings.

But the appearance of closing the agency will allow Democrats and their media flatterers another opportunity to blame Republicans and gain short-term political

Cal

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson employed a scare tactic to pressure Republicans into caving.

Johnson appeared on “ABC News This Week,” warning that Minnesota’s Mall of America might be a terrorist target. The White House defended Johnson’s comments on Monday, but Press Secretary Josh Earnest assured Americans there was no “...specific, credible plot against the Mall of America or any other domestic, commercial shopping center.” Better get your Christmas shopping done early just in case.

As usual, we are focusing on the wrong subject, or at least the wrong part of the right subject.

Of greater concern should be the flood of immigrants from Muslim countries among whom terrorists are surely hiding.

As reported by Investors.com, “France, Belgium and now even liberal Denmark regret letting in so many immigrants from Muslim countries. Their swelling Islamic communities have become breeding grounds for terrorists. So why is the U.S. opening the floodgates to foreign Muslims?”

Good question.

The time to be concerned about lung cancer is before one starts smoking, not after cancer is detected. The time to be concerned about terrorists infiltrating America is before they arrive and attack shopping malls, not after their growing numbers threaten our national security.

As Investors reports, “Between 2010 and 2013, the Obama administration imported almost 300,000 new immigrants from Muslim nations — more immigrants than the U.S. let in from Central America and Mexico combined over that period.” Many of

them are arriving from Iraq and now Syria where ISIS has established a caliphate and from which it has announced plans to conquer Rome, meaning Christianity.

“The U.S. will admit as many as 2,000 Syrian nationals by the end of fiscal year 2015, up from 525 since fiscal 2011,” Investors adds.

President Obama is living up to his 2008 campaign promise to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” But transform it into what?

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports that about half of New York City residents speak a language other than English at home and that one-fourth of city residents are not proficient in English, citing figures from the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Affairs. There are likely similar profiles in other big cities.

While President Obama promised that his executive order allowing illegals to stay in this country would “stem the flow” of people crossing the border and “speed the return of those who do cross over,” the opposite has

occurred. Emails obtained by National Review Online reveal that the administration has ordered Border Patrol agents to “curtail initiation of deportation proceedings and to screen the illegal border crossers they detail for eligibility under the president’s deferred-action programs instead.”

No nation can maintain its character, strength and purpose if it does not control its borders and assimilate immigrants into the history, values and patriotism necessary for its stability and even survival.

It’s long past time to stop this influx, to seal the border and to cease allowing immigrants from nations where terrorism thrives.

New arrivals should be transformed into full Americans or invited to move on to a country they love more than this one.

Editorial

Make health care more transparent to save lives SANTA FE — Health care pricing has been likened to shopping blindfolded in a department store, and then months later receiving an indecipherable statement with a framed box at the bottom that says: pay this amount.

Indeed, here in New Mexico it is easier to find information about the price and quality of a toaster than of a common medical procedure. Because information about price and quality is essential to almost every market transaction, this lack of transparency means that health care is more expensive than it would otherwise be. The high cost of health care has devastating consequences. Over 62 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are attributable to illness and health care debt, up from 8 percent in 1981.

Many of these medical debtors are middle-class homeowners, and more than three-quarters of them have health insurance.

Health care costs are also a heavy burden on state taxpayers, with over 27 percent of New Mexico’s annual budget going to health care. As health care spending outpaces the growth of the rest of the economy, it threatens to crowd out spending on other priorities like education.

How did we get to this point? A century ago, patients paid directly for their health care and knew exactly what it cost. Since then, the rise of private health insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid disconnected patients from the cost of their care.

That situation is predicted to change with the recent trend toward higher deductibles and growing out-of-pocket costs. For example, Bronze health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act have average deductibles of more than $5,000 for an individual and nearly $11,000 for a family.

Economists believe that these higher out-of-pocket costs will cause patients to be more sensitive to prices, which will help contain overall costs. However, this ignores a crucial detail: the lack of transparency makes it impossible for patients to comparison shop for the highest quality, most affordable care.

That is why Think New Mexico drafted Senate Bill 474, sponsored by Democratic Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino and Republican Senator Sander Rue which would create a user-friendly website where New Mexicans can find the price and quality data of the most common medical procedures at any of New Mexico’s 44 hospitals.

A total of 14 states, including our neighbors of Arizona, Colorado, and Utah, have already established similar websites. Another five states are actively working to create them.

These websites are already making a difference. A 2013 study by researchers at the University of Chicago found that the price of common elective procedures dropped by an average of 7 percent in states with transparency websites.

For example, hip transplants averaged $2,800 less in states that had the websites.

Hate for the Koch brothers continues Lots of people sure hate the Koch brothers.

The Kochs get death threats like this: “If I had a chance to murder a Koch brother in cold blood, I would surely take it.”

Jim Dean doesn’t want to kill the Kochs, but he does want new laws to limit their influence. Dean’s brother Howard was a Democratic presidential candidate, and Dean chairs a group called Democracy for America.

“Get money out of politics,” Dean says on my show this week.

But Dean’s not just unhappy because the Kochs have money to throw around. He doesn’t like their politics.

“The Koch brothers are poster boys for everything that is wrong in politics because

John

Stossel Syndicated Columnist they spend so much,” he says, and they have extreme goals like “getting rid of Social Security and environmental laws.”

But they don’t. They just think today’s environmental laws go too far, and they want to save Social Security from going broke.

Dean says Social Security “has been one of the best social programs we’ve ever had.” When I point out that

it’s unsustainable, he says, “The math works for another 20 years.” Wow. Twenty years.

If the Kochs’ views were the same as George Soros’, I don’t think liberals like Dean would complain as much. But Dean claims he’s no hypocrite.

“We don’t like it when Democrats play the same game.

Rahm Emanuel, mayor of Chicago ... is giving away taxpayer-owned assets in the city to big businesses whose principals funded his campaign.”

It is disgusting when big shots use their money to get handouts from government — ethanol subsidies, limits on sugar imports, loan guarantees for Boeing or special deals from Rahm Emanuel.

That’s government helping well-connected rich people,

handing them money that once belonged to taxpayers.

But the Kochs aren’t like that. The brothers made their billions by growing their businesses. That’s a good thing.

That’s real wealth creation, jobs for people and products people want.

The Kochs oppose subsidies, even for their own company. They’d get rid of them if everybody else would.

I should disclose that I’ve spent time with both David and Charles Koch. They’ve paid me to speak at a few of their events. I happily took the money and gave it to charities.

But anyone who understands libertarianism knows I’d agree with the Kochs even See STOSSEL, Page A5

Early diagnosis and treatment crucial for dementia DEAR DOCTOR K: My mother has started showing signs of dementia. Will it be all downhill from here? Or can dementia ever be treated or reversed?

DEAR READER: There are many different causes of dementia. We can’t do much to slow or reverse some of them, but we can reverse and even cure others.

Dementia is a catchall term. It covers a variety of illnesses that cause memory loss, confusion, changes in personality and declining ability to perform everyday activities.

The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Another common dementia, vascular dementia, is caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain. Once

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate these types of dementia develop, treatment options are limited.

Drugs for Alzheimer’s are sometimes used for vascular dementia. However, for both diseases, drugs offer only temporary and modest protection at best.

However, in a small percentage of cases, dementia may be reversed. The following conditions might cause

reversible dementia: • Toxic reactions to drugs.

With aging, the liver and kidneys become less efficient at detoxifying medicines and eliminating them from the body.

As a result, drugs tend to build up in the body. Older people in poor health and those taking several different medications are especially vulnerable to dementia caused by drugs. Reducing the dose of medicines can sometimes produce dramatic improvement.

• Vitamin B12 deficiency. Nerve cells need vitamin B12 to work. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause the symptoms of dementia. Vitamin B12 is plentiful in eggs, dairy, meat, fish and poultry. However, with age, peo-

ple become less efficient at absorbing it from food into the bloodstream. Supplements or injections can help restore healthy levels, and reverse the problems with thinking and memory.

• Normal-pressure hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus occurs when too much cerebrospinal fluid collects around the brain. This condition affects a small number of older people. In addition to dementia, people with this condition often lose bladder control and walk in a slow, hesitant manner, as if their feet are stuck to the floor.

Let it go, let it go and not own you

Whatever you own that you can’t let go of you don’t own, it owns you. More on this later.

One of the greatest demoralizers in anyone’s life is to live life looking over the fence into your neighbor’s yard. Or worse yet, observing what is in their home. It starts with a look, moves to a covet, and then ends with a lowering of your quality of life. The trigger at the front end is the looking over the fence and the end result can be a miserable existence.

It is a case of the “I wish” disease. I wish I had this, I wish I had that. It can rob a person of a life of joy quicker than a pickpocket in a crowded subway. The cure for this disease is not at your local pharmacy. It is within you.

Are you content with your world? If you had a “contentment meter” and its meter scored from a low of 1 to a high of 10, what would your level of con-

if I’d never met them. They are pro-immigration, antidrug war. They want less defense spending. They got praised by Attorney General Holder for their campaign to jail fewer people.

Why is the left so mad at them? It’s definitely not because they’re the only big spenders in politics.

During the last presidential election, it was reported that the Kochs spent $60 million. Tom Steyer, the big environmental activist, spent $70 million a few years later.

Yes, groups affiliated with the Kochs spent $400 million. But the Huffington Post reports that labor unions spent much more:

Whether you are happy with what you have or unhappy with what you don’t have, you still have the same things.

The first action you need to take to find contentment is to stop comparing yourself to others. Although it is human nature, it is a condition that you can conquer if you so desire. I truly believe this. There is always going to be someone whom you interact with that has more than you. More

transparent, health care providers will compete to improve their performance.

For example, when Pennsylvania began publishing hospital-acquired infection rates in 2006, the statewide infection rate fell by 7.8 percent within a year. This not only improved the quality of care and saved many lives, but it also lowered costs since the average cost of hospitalization was $53,915 when an infection occurred, and only $8,311 when it did not.

A health care price and quality transparency website in New Mexico will similarly save both lives and dollars by $1.7 billion. Union spending dwarfs Koch spending.

I wish libertarians could just pay the government to shrink. But that’s not going to happen soon.

The unions, unlike the Kochs, promote economic ignorance. They push rigid hiring rules, limits on firing lazy workers, “buy American” campaigns, taxes on imports and other ideas that stifle growth. They push inefficiency on a grand scale, and politicians usually go along.

But last month, I was surprised when New Jersey governor Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would have required public contractors to buy American.

He wrote, “these bills will simply drive up the price of doing business, and threaten job creation. Building economic walls around our

belongings, a better job, a better spouse, better children, a better body. You get the idea.

We need to avoid playing the comparison game.

Why can he have this and I don’t? Why does she get to stay home and I have to go to work? Why do they get to travel? Your contentment meter can do a free fall as you look over your neighbor’s fence.

If comparing yourself to others motivates you to do better yourself without any ugly feelings, compare away, change your own world and fly as high as you can.

This type of comparison does not lower your contentment meter, nor does it include coveting.

The concept of coveting has been around since the beginning of mankind. It is so ingrained in human nature that it is included as one of the 10 commandments brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses

Right.

Christie is no libertarian, but maybe he attended an economic literacy seminar sponsored by the Kochs.

Since unions spend big to get politicians to outlaw smart, efficient business decisions, I’m glad when people like the Koch brothers come along to spread the message that government should spend less and get out of the way.

I wish the Kochs spent more on politics. They promote a message we don’t hear often enough.

John Stossel is host of “Stossel” on Fox News and author of “No They Can’t!

Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed.” For other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit creators.com.

over 3,400 years ago. We are told at Exodus 20:17, “You shall not covet ... anything that belongs to your neighbor.” Short and sweet advice that remains as sound over three millenniums later.

In Greek the word “covet” means “to grab or to grasp so tightly that your hands are tight; you can’t even let it go.” Wow! What are you clutching tightly in your hands?

One definition of coveting is “the uncontrolled desire to acquire.” It is okay to desire, to wish, to set goals. But if in the process you are jealous of what others have, you are judging outwardly rather than being motivated inwardly.

Let me let you in on a little secret. It is alright for you to have nice things and it is alright for others to have nice things. If your things are nicer than someone else’s, be grateful. If your things are not as nice as someone else’s, be grateful.

My challenge to you today is to live life with a high score on your contentment meter. Enjoy life each day with the highest quality of life you can. You are more apt to be accomplishing what you need to be accomplishing if you are content with the world you live in.

The popular Disney song from the movie “Frozen” tells us “Let it go, let it go, turn away and slam the door.”

Although Elsa’s song isn’t about coveting, it is good advice for each of us as we are tempted to look over our neighbor’s fence.

If you are grateful for each blessing you have received (regardless of how that looks) and focused on what you need to be doing in your life to accomplish the calling placed on you, you will not have time to covet another and your experience on this planet in the years you have will be much better.

In the Bible at Ecclesiastes 6:9 we are told “It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to be always wanting something else.”

You control your “contentment meter.” You really do.

If it is not pushing a 10, then maybe you need to “let it go, let it go, turn away and slam the door.”

You will never be content if you live your life playing the comparison game.

There are countless things you can not control, but one thing you can control is your attitude and in turn your attitude will control you.

Just a thought.

New York exhibits mark centennial of Sinatra’s birth NEW YORK (AP) — A couple of New York exhibits are paying homage to the centennial of Frank Sinatra’s birth by displaying rare photographs and mementos, many of them from the family archive.

“Sinatra: An American Icon” opens Wednesday at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

It will feature recordings, clothing, art and other personal items.

Several new paintings of Sinatra by Peter Max are part of the exhibition.

The show will travel to the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles after it closes

Sept. 4.

Select photographs from the exhibition will also be on view during the International Festival of Arts & Ideas in June in New Haven, Connecticut.

Max will unveil all 27 of his new Sinatra works at his Manhattan studio on Monday.

Sinatra’s daughter Nancy Sinatra is expected to attend.

“The Sinatra Experience” at Morrison Hotel Gallery SoHo, meanwhile, includes a selfie taken by a 23-year-old Sinatra in his Hoboken, New Jersey, bathroom mirror. Also on view will be photos

In all of these cases, the chances of successfully reversing dementia are better the earlier treatment is started. That’s why it is important to tell your doctor about any signs of dementia as early as possible.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking “I’d rather get bad news later, rather than sooner.”

For some people with symptoms of dementia, prompt diagnosis and treatment can convert bad news into good news.

Hopefully, that will be true for your mother.

Hematomas are blood clots caused by bruising.

Older people sometimes develop them in the brain after even a minor head injury.

As blood oozes into a closed space, the hematoma gets bigger and begins to interfere with brain function.

Stalking is dangerous and against the law

Gere. You may recall that the stalker in Foster’s case attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan.

In Richard Gere’s case, a female stalker called him more than 1,000 times!

The fact is, however, that this crime is not one which targets celebrities alone. In the United States, 15 percent of women and about 6 percent of men have experienced stalking victimization at some point during their lifetime, frequently by some-

one they know, and usually by a current or former intimate partner.

Stalking can be defined as the willful and repeated following, watching, and/or harassing of another person. Most of the time, its purpose is to force a relationship with another person who is unwilling or otherwise unavailable, and stalking usually involves actions occurring over a period of time. While Richard Gere’s stalker called him over and over, David Letterman’s female stalker actually went to his Connecticut home many times and once was found sleeping on his tennis courts.

If you are the victim of a stalker, you do indeed have cause for concern. I would urge you to learn all you can about this crime, and as a resource for informa-

tion, I would suggest the Stalking Resource Center, a program of the National Center for Victims of Crime.

Their website (ncvc.org) is excellent, and has abundant facts about stalking, as well as stalking safety plans to help keep you safe at home, work and school.

Such a safety plan could include things like changing your routine, arranging a place to stay, and having a friend or relative go places with you.

You can decide in advance what to do if the stalker shows up at any of those places. Do understand that stalking is unpredictable and dangerous. No two stalking situations are alike and thus there are no guarantees that what works for one person will work for another.

It is particularly import-

ant that the victim keep evidence of the stalking. When the stalker follows you or contacts you, note the time, date and place where it occurred. Keep emails, text messages, phone messages, letters or notes. And photograph anything of yours that the stalker damages or any injuries he causes.

There is a good “stalking log” example on the website which could be used for documentation, and would certainly be critical in any future criminal procedure.

Some other suggestions: Trust your instincts. Like so many things, if you feel unsafe, you probably are. Take threats seriously, especially if there is talk about suicide, or murder, or when a victim is attempting to leave or end the relationship. Do not commu-

nicate with the stalker or respond to attempts to contact you. Consider getting a court order which keeps the stalker away from you.

Finally, tell family, friends, roommates, and co-workers about the stalking and seek their support. You should also tell security staff at your work or school what is going on and ask them to help watch out for your safety.

Remember that stalking is a crime in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the federal government.

It is always something to be taken seriously.

Dear editor, Recently, my child brought home a book that was given to him at school titled “The Little People’s Guide To The Big World” and written by T. Romain.

It’s an encouraging book with short poems in it about common life experiences, like moving, getting glasses, going to the hospital and recycling.

I wanted to thank the businesses of Randy A. Barone Family Dentistry, Primm Drug, Roswell Ford, Eastern New Mexico Medical Center and Roswell Ready Mix Company for providing this book to my child and family.

Thank you for caring enough about your community and the children here to use your time, effort

and finances to encourage families with this great resource. I hope that families use this book to teach their children valuable life skills that can help children become responsible citizens.

This book is a great tool to help families spend time together reading and to encourage open communication while also familiarizing children with the art of poetry. Fostering community is something we all should be doing and I just wanted to commend these businesses for doing so.

Dear editor, Shortly after taking office last march, Mayor

Dennis Kintigh reconstituted the Mayor’s Healthcare Solutions Committee which had been dormant since Mayor LaGrone’s leaving office. The committee’s goal is to recruit and retain doctors for Roswell.

As most citizens are aware keeping doctors after their three-year commitment is extremely difficult. This keeps Roswell under staffed with competent medical personnel and loss of continuity of care for patients.

The committee which is comprised of local doctors, hospital CEOs, UNM medical representatives and assorted industry specialists has been meeting monthly to address the Mayor’s legitimate concerns.

As a consequence of

our efforts, we were invited to attend the New Mexico Association of Family Physicians semi-annual conference in Albuquerque on Saturday, Feb. 21. Our committee chairwoman, Dorothy Hellums, arranged for us to have a booth at the event and Dr. Masoud Khorsand of Kymera Medical was kind enough to provide us with the entry fee.

The Mayor and Director Dorrie Faubus McCarty of our Chamber of Commerce provided us with a banner and relocation materials plus various items to include in a package for distribution to interested attendees. Josh Ragsdale of Pecos Flavors Winery was also kind enough to donate some alien wine

for a door prize drawing.

With all these items in tow we departed Friday for our most excellent adventure.

While committee member Dr. Karen Vaillant expertly worked her peers attending the event, Hellums and myself made sure we met all the other relevant organizations. While not a committee member, my wife, Pamela Neal, a retired health care professional, fielded questions from both doctors and med students about the opportunities available in Roswell.

As a result of our efforts we gathered some excellent contacts and leads which we will be following up on shortly. As the only city represented at the conference we stood out as a city that is proactively seek-

ing medical personnel. We received quite a few positive comments from the attendees and a surprising number were aware of Mayor Kintigh’s and the committee’s existence and efforts.

As a result of the committee’s outstanding performance we were invited to attend the second convention of the year in July.

We are hopeful we will have several first and second year med students working their rotations in Roswell this summer and believe the committee is well on its way to helping Roswell becoming an attractive place for new doctors to settle after graduation.

let people know we’ve got these positions and we need to encourage people to get involved.

The last thing I want to mention is I don’t have good news about the behavioral health situation. I don’t have bad news.

I don’t have any real news and the clock is ticking.

We’re down to 33 days (as of Thursday). Turquoise Health and Wellness. This has been heavy on my mind. This is one I’m doing an email about or I’m doing a phone call about or a meeting about or all three every single day, weekend included. We’re desperately in need of these services. We’ve got a number of entities involved in trying to come up with a framework for a continuation of services. There’s a lot of people working very hard on this. I really want to compliment Judge James Hudson. He’s brought this to a level of aware-

ness that no one else has done, no one else could have done. He’s done great work. A young man that I’m very impressed with, Kevin Berry, he’s the clinical director of the Peak Foster Care. He’s been instrumental in working with Judge Hudson and me on this whole behavioral health. We’ve had meetings with different entities and I’m not gonna be shy, I’m gonna say it right now: I have reached out to the University of New Mexico Health and Sciences Center in Albuquerque to ask them to play a prominent role in trying to pull together a behavioral health team for this community. To their credit, UNM has actually sent some very senior people here twice, making the three-hour drive to attend meetings. There have been numerous conference calls and meetings in Albuquerque to try to establish a framework as

to how this would be done but we don’t have that yet. I very much appreciate UNM Health Sciences and I’m hopeful that in a very few days we can do a public announcement. ...

Behavioral health issues don’t just impact the person needing services; it impacts the entire family.

The impact is monstrous.

So providers, nurse practitioners, the counselors, the clinicians, those individuals, those professionals who are wondering “where am I going to be working on April 1” can have some assurances to where they’re gonna go. That’s No. 1. Much more critical is to address the very legitimate fears of those who need their services. Those peo-

ple need to know, emphatically, that there will be no disruption in treatment.

That’s what I’m striving to accomplish. I cannot say that I’ve accomplished it yet. That is the most challenging and important thing that I’ve been working on since I’ve been mayor. And most people, unfortunately, in this community, don’t realize how significant it is. ...

We need behavioral health experts to be able to pull together the providers, identify them, pull them together. One of the things we’re striving to do is build a directory of providers of behavioral health services in this town. You can call city hall. You can talk to a receptionist there.

She is in the process of building this directory of all the providers of behavioral health services in this community. Providers can send her their information (at s.brooks@roswell-nm. gov). We need to know who’s available. This is one of those issues that you guys touched on, which I gave you lots of credit for, and you saw that Town Hall meeting. We had 150 people show up with minimal notice. This is serious.

When I say this is the No. 1 issue of my administration I’m not kidding. This is dominant.

City Editor Jeff Jackson can be contacted at 575-622-7710, ext. 311, or reporter02@rdrnews.com.

Sheriff William B. Travis, the sheriff of Denton County, Texas, recently wrote a great article about stalking which appeared on Feb. 18 in the Dallas Morning News under the “Communities” heading. Although I’m tempted to place quotes on either end of Sheriff Travis’ article and send that to the Roswell Daily Record as today’s column, I won’t do that. I do want to emphasize to readers the absolute fear that stalking can create in its victims. And meanwhile, you should read the sheriff’s comments.

It is not that uncommon to hear of some celebrity who has been frightened, and perhaps seriously threatened by a stalker.

Among the most well-known of these cases were actors Jodie Foster and Richard

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders eager to avert a partial government shutdown are getting heat from conservative colleagues who ask what the fuss is all about.

Numerous House Republicans say it’s preferable to let the Homeland Security Department go unfunded for a few days, at least, if that’s the cost of undoing a White House immigration policy they consider unlawful. These lawmakers say the impact on national security would be minimal, as would the political risks.

“Shutting down” the agency known as DHS “is a set of words that don’t really have the meaning that people attribute to it,” said Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama. “There was hardly any effect whatsoever on the Department of Homeland Security from the last shutdown, and I would anticipate a similar effect this time.”

Brooks was referring to the 2013 partial federal government shutdown that Americans blamed mostly on Republicans, and which many GOP leaders have vowed not to repeat.

Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa was equally dismissive.

“We’re never going to see a shutdown over this,” King told reporters Thursday.

DHS’s “essential services” will continue, he said, although “some paychecks may be delayed.”

“Look at the price that was paid for a Constitution and a rule of law,” King said. “Can you explain to the people that are in their graves in Arlington (National Cemetery) that we don’t want to delay some paychecks, we’re going to sacrifice the Constitution?”

King and others say President Barack Obama violated the Constitution with an executive order protecting millions of immigrants, here illegally, from depor-

tation. A House-passed bill would fund DHS beyond Friday only if the order is reversed.

Senate Democrats blocked the bill. Now GOP Senate leaders, and some prominent House Republicans, say it’s time to fund the Homeland Security Department and fight the deportation issue in the courts.

Staunch conservatives disagree. If a DHS shutdown lasts a week or less, “I don’t think it’s damaging at all,” said Republican Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina. “The American people are still upset that the president exceeded his constitutional authority” on immigration, Jones said.

“Most people know that the majority of the employees are going to continue to work.”

Republican Rep. Steve Chabot of Ohio said, “We’re ready to fund everything else except that illegal action.” That’s a reasonable stand, he said, but in the news media “we’ll be allegedly the people that shut down the government.”

Playing down a DHS funding lapse dismays some senior House Republicans.

“Politically, it’s devastating,” said Rep. Mike Simpson of Idaho, who withstood a tea party challenger last year. Fairly or not, he said, Democrats will accuse Republicans of weakening homeland security at a time of heightened terrorist threats.

Democrats aren’t waiting. “It’s a disgrace that ISIS and al-Shabab are fully funded, but thanks to Republican game-playing, the Department of Homeland Security might not be,” Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said this week.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio responds to reporters about the impasse over passing the Homeland Security budget because of Republican efforts to block President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration, on Thursday, during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. al-Shabab has called for attacks on Western shopping malls.

A DHS “shutdown” actually would do little to dent America’s defenses. Frontline employees at Customs and Border Protection, the Secret Service and the Transportation Security Administration would continue to work. So would air marshals and Coast Guard patrols.

Of the department’s 230,000 employees, about 200,000 would be deemed essential and continue to work. But most would go unpaid until the dispute ends. And hiring and much training and research would stop.

Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant of Texas said his constituents “have been told everybody’s going to be declared essential.” He said they want Obama’s deportation order overturned, even if DHS funding lapses.

GOP Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana agrees. A partial DHS shutdown “may be an outcome, but that’s not a goal,” he said. Democrats are pushing the DHS question to the brink, Fleming said, but “we all know the media will blame Republicans.”

Republican Rep. Tom

Cole of Oklahoma says these hard-core conservatives are playing a dangerous game. Now that a federal judge in Texas has halted action on Obama’s deportation order, he said, “it’s time to declare victory and go home.”

“We ought to be talking about Homeland Security in ways that highlight the president’s failures overseas,” Cole said, and not “whether we’re going to shut it down.”

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Friday called House Republicans’ push for a three-week extension of DHS funding “a staggering failure of leadership that will prolong this manufactured crisis of theirs and endanger the security of the American people.”

If R e p u b lic a n s th in k they’ll avoid serious political damage from even a temporary and partial DHS shutdown, said Democratic Rep. David Price of North Carolina, “they’re whistling in the dark.”

Republican Rep. Peter King of New York said that if there’s a terror attack in the United States during a partial DHS shutdown, “politically it’s going to kill us.”

Lawmaker reimbursed costs for office decor

WASHINGTON (AP) — Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock repaid $40,000 from his personal checking account for redecorations to his congressional office in the style of the TV show “Downton Abbey,” according to financial records reviewed by The Associated Press.

Schock paid $35,000 earlier this month to the owner of the Illinois decorating firm Euro Trash, and $5,000 more on Thursday, the records showed.

His official House expense account had previously paid the group for its services.

Schock, a rising star in the Republican Party, has been under scrutiny for using taxpayer money to pay for the redecorating, as well as using his official and campaign funds for flights on donor-owned planes and concert tickets.

The Washington Post was first to describe the office decorations in early February. A watchdog group has since requested a House ethics review of the congressman’s spending.

Schock’s office said Friday his payments made good on an earlier promise to personally shoulder the costs of the office renovation. Schock wrote two checks — for $25,000 on Feb. 4 and $10,000 on Feb. 6 — to Tracy “Annie” Brahler, owner of Euro Trash. He wrote a third check for $5,000 on Thursday.

“Congressman Schock has fulfilled his commitment to pay for all the renovation costs,” his office said Friday in a prepared statement. It said that while congressional office costs are usually paid from office expense accounts, “the congressman believed it appropriate to pay these costs himself.”

Schock, 33, is in his fourth term representing the Peoria and Springfield areas.

This week, Schock brought on board a team of campaign finance lawyers and public relations experts to address the controversy about his expenses. His financial charges — including the use of his donors’ private aircraft and concert tickets — were detailed by the AP and other news organizations since news of the decoration work became public.

An AP review this week identified at least a dozen flights worth more than $40,000 on contributors’ planes since mid-2011, tracking Schock’s reliance on the aircraft partly through the congressman’s pictures uploaded to his Instagram account. The AP extracted hidden location data associated with each image; it then correlated it with flight records showing airport stopovers and expenses later billed for air travel against Schock’s office and campaign records.

Lawmakers can use office funds for private flights as long as payments cover their share of the costs.

But most of the flights Schock covered with office funds occurred before the House changed its rules in January 2013. Those earlier rules prohibited lawmakers from using those accounts to pay for flights on private aircraft, allowing payments only for federally licensed charter and commercial flights.

Schock previously told the AP he travels frequently throughout his Peoria-area district “to stay connected with my constituents,” and that he takes compliance with congressional funding rules seriously.

Schock also spent thousands more on tickets for concerts, car mileage reimbursements — among the highest in Congress — and took his interns to a soldout Katy Perry concert last June.

Republican leaders scrap education vote

Obama pitches privacy bill, Democrats say it falls short

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a political embarrassment for Republicans, House GOP leaders on Friday abruptly cancelled a vote on a bill to update the George W. Bush-era No Child Left Behind education law after struggling to find support from conservatives.

The bill would keep the annual testing requirements on schools but would give more freedom to states and districts to spend federal dollars and identify and fix failing schools. But conservative opponents said it doesn’t go far enough to let states and districts set education policy. Such conservative groups as Heritage Action for America and Club for Growth are among the opponents.

“We have a constitutional duty as members of Congress to return education decisions to parents and states,” Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., wrote this week on Facebook.

Democrats also dislike the bill and said it would abdicate the federal government’s responsibility to ensure that poor, minority, disabled and non-English speaking students go to good schools and that billions of federal education dollars are spent wisely.

The White House threatened to veto the bill, calling it “a significant step backwards.”

Senior Republican officials said it was unclear when a vote would occur.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss private negotiations.

“I look forward to continuing to discuss with my colleagues the conservative reforms in this legislation,

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid “rapid growth” in the collection of data on Americans, the White House on Friday proposed legislation that calls on businesses to do more to help consumers protect their personal information.

The draft bill, first obtained by The Associated Press, gives a nod to consumers fed up with how much of their private lives wind up in the hands of marketers. But the proposal frustrated many privacy advocates, including Democrats on Capitol Hill, who say the bill won’t change much for consumers. They cite several loopholes that would give companies a way to opt out without consequence.

The bill would allow industries to develop their own privacy standards, for example, and startups would be shielded from any punishment during the first 18 months they are in business. The bill also would pre-empt most state privacy laws, which in some cases are much tougher.

“We need to put in place a system of rules that puts consumers in control of their information, not corporate interests and data reapers,” said Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., adding that he planned to push his own legislation next week.

Consumers might also be skeptical about how much the White House values Americans’ privacy: President Barack Obama outlined similar goals in 2012 in his “consumer privacy bill of rights.” A year later, National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden revealed that the government had collected the phone records and digital communications of millions

and I expect we will have an opportunity to finish this important work soon,” Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the sponsor of the bill, said in a statement. Kline, chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, said the delay happened because the debate over funding the Homeland Security Department had taken priority on the House floor.

The bipartisan 2002 No Child Left Behind law was a signature achievement of Bush, and its authors included the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and current House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. It sought to close significant gaps in the achievement of poor and minority students and their more affluent peers. It mandated annual testing in reading and math for students in grades three to eight and again in high school. Schools had to show student growth or face consequences.

But its requirement that all students be able to read and do math at grade level by 2014 proved elusive.

The Obama administration in 2012 began allowing waivers around some of the law’s more stringent requirements if schools agreed to certain conditions, like using collegeand career-ready standards such as Common Core.

The standards have been adopted in more than 40 states and spell out what English and math skills students should master in each grade. They are a political issue in many states because they are viewed by critics as a federal effort even though they were developed by U.S. governors.

House Republican leaders have used their bill to

show their opposition to the Obama administration’s encouragement of the Common Core state standards because it prohibits the federal education secretary from demanding changes to state standards or imposing conditions on states in exchange for a waiver around federal law.

It also eliminates many federal programs, creates a single local grant program and allows public money to follow low-income children to different public schools.

Dan Holler, a spokesman for Heritage Action for America, said conservatives were upset that amendments weren’t allowed on provisions their group supported that included eliminating federal testing mandates, allowing states to opt out of the law and allowing public money to follow low-income students to private schools.

Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat, noted that the same bill that was pulled from the floor on Friday got no Democratic votes when it was passed by the House in 2013.

“How sad that, in an issue so important to our country, that we don’t have a bipartisan bill,” Hoyer said.

In the Senate, Sens.

Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, and Patty Murray, D-Wash., the committee’s senior Democrat, say they are working on a bipartisan proposal to fix the law.

Alexander said this week he’s hopeful he can get something to the Senate floor in March.

This Jan. 28 photo shows the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) building in Washington. The White House this week circulated legislation aimed at encouraging U.S. businesses to do more to protect consumer privacy. of citizens not suspected of a crime.

“There is rapid growth in the volume and variety of personal data being generated, collected, stored and analyzed,” the draft bill states. “This growth has the potential for great benefits to human knowledge, technological innovation and economic growth, but also the potential to harm individual privacy and freedom. Laws must keep pace as technology and businesses practices evolve.”

Tech-savvy marketers have long been tracking people’s movements online as well as their location, pairing that information with such offline data as race, gender, salary, where they live and even how much they paid for their house. The result is a thriving industry of data brokers that make money from selling detailed — and somewhat creepy — profiles of every consumer.

According to a draft, the bill identifies seven principles for safeguarding per-

sonal data, including giving Americans the right to access information that companies collect. It says businesses should act in the spirit of transparency and take steps to protect that data from being leaked or misused.

The bill also encourages industries to draft “privacy codes of conduct.” The Federal Trade Commission could take action against a company if it violates its own code. But the regulatory agency, known for suing businesses for unfair and deceptive business practices, wouldn’t be given any rulemaking authority as many privacy advocates want.

“It’s a big victory for the tech industry because it really sidelines the FTC and removes it as an effective force,” said Jeffrey Chester, head of the Center for Digital Democracy.

Some industry officials said they worried the legislation would be a burden to innovative businesses.

Roswell boys rule District 4-5A; dominate Artesia in title game

Shawn Naranjo Photos

By Jeff Jackson Record City Editor If history repeats, Roswell will repeat, too.

Each year that the Roswell boys have won a state championship they also were District 4-5A tournament champs in coach Britt Cooper’s 25 years on the bench. That happened in 2014, 2010 and 2009, and Cooper is confident once again after his team dispatched Artesia 59-38 Saturday night at home.

“I’m really proud of the kids. We’ve won three years in a row, five out of the last six,” Cooper said. “It’s great for these kids. Hopefully it sets us up for a high seed. Whether they put us as a 1, 2 or 3, we’ve won it before.”

The Coyotes will learn their seeding Tuesday and as one of the top 8 seeds are certain to have a home game Saturday in the first round. The next three games on March 11, March 12 and March 14 all would be played at the Pit in Albuquerque.

“Every year we’ve won it we’ve been district champions. The higher seed gets to wear the white uniforms.

When you get to Albuquerque there’s no flukes.

They’re all good teams,” Cooper said.

At 23-3, the Coyotes are as tough as anybody, Cooper said, having spent several weeks perched at No. 1 in the 5A conference and having beaten their share of other top teams in the state, including a few in the

6A conference.

“It’s momentum. We’ve been playing good defense and our defense is feeding our offense like we like it to be doing,” said Cooper, who watched his team jaunt off to leads of 27-13 and 47-27 after the second and third quarters against the Bulldogs, who dropped to 13-16 and lost to the Coyotes for the third time this season.

Roswell split two games with 6A Carlsbad and 5A Las Cruces Centennial, and could be facing the Hawks once again. No. 1 Gallup (25-1) is another good

team, Cooper said, and is on a 23-game winning streak.

“But they haven’t played the schedule we and Centennial have,” Cooper said.

“There’s quality teams.

There’s no clear-cut favorite. You can’t have a bad game. You just got to play.”

Two Lovington defenders swarm Roswell’s Georgia Eldridge (30) during the Lady Wildcats’ 46-36 victory over the Lady Coyotes in the District 4-5A girls tournament championship Saturday night at Roswell High School.

Lovington’s girls basketball arrived Saturday with something to prove, and in the process prevented Roswell from winning the District 4-5A tournament for a 12th consecutive year.

The Lady Wildcats did that with a 46-36 victory over the Lady Coyotes to win the district tournament championship, but Roswell is still the team to beat at next week’s state tournament, according to Lovington coach Jason Parrish.

“It’s one of those things I guess where we had to prove it,” Parrish said. “I think they’re the best team in 5A. We just had to come out and prove ourselves.”

While the Coyotes had been the No.1-ranked team at the state 4A level, that likely will cease, coach Joe Carpenter believes when

the state tournament seedings are released Tuesday.

His clubs have reached the state tournament in 13 of the last 15 seasons.

“I don’t think they could give us the No. 1 seed anymore. Who knows how far down we fall,” Carpenter said. “I just can’t wait to get back to work Monday.

“This is gonna open our eyes for a lot of things. It’s hard to beat a team three times in one season and we played them a lot in the summer.

“When your team doesn’t come out fired up in the district championship game that’s a coaching thing,” Carpenter said.

“But I believe we’re gonna bounce back and get a decent seed.”

The Coyotes had not played in eight days and even had Saturday’s game pushed back a day because of the weather, but Carpenter was clearly

not looking for excuses.

“You can’t be an excuse-maker. It’s my job as a coach to get these girls ready to play. We don’t make excuses, just put our hard-hat back on and go back to work.”

Tayler Valencia hit a turnaround bucket in the lane to give the Wildcats (16-9) a 13-11 lead at the 6:09 mark of the second quarter and Lovington held the lead from there for the remainder of the game.

The Coyotes (22-4) had their nine-game winning streak end and were held to single-digit scoring in the first three periods, nine in the first and third quarters and five in the second.

The Wildcats went up by 10 with five minutes left in the third and led by 11 at two other times, but Roswell used brief runs to stay within striking distance.

Kylee Cunningham grabbed a rebound, hit a

bucket and a foul shot at 4:45 of the fourth to put the Wildcats ahead 37-26, and Juztice Perry hit a shot as Lovington held its largest lead of 13 points (41-28) with 3:10 left to play.

Perry led all scorers with 15 points, seven coming in the fourth. Her pair of 3-pointers in the second gave the Wildcats the momentum to grab a 20-14 halftime lead.

For the Coyotes, Jaedyn De La Cerda scored 10 points, followed by Gali Sanchez and Alexis Angeles who each scored five points.

“They shot the ball well and they got to more loose balls than we did,” Carpenter said of the Wildcats. “I think we’re two teams that are very similar in what they like to do on the floor and they did it a little bit better than us tonight.”

seconds remaining.

The Cowboys missed a layup and a 3-pointer in the final moments of the game.

Toddrick Gotcher led Texas Tech (13-17, 3-14 Big 12) with 17 points. The Red Raiders trailed 31-17 at halftime.

Le’Bryan Nash scored 19 to lead Oklahoma State (1711, 7-9). Michael Cobbins had 10 points and added 11 rebounds.

Carroll, who finished with 12 points, hit a 3-pointer to

give the Cowboys a 48-47 advantage with 8:05 left for their first lead since there was 5:57 left in the first half.

The Red Raiders were in the game because of an excellent close to the first half. They started 3 of 20 from the field in the period but made seven of their final eight shots. The offensive outburst led them to an 11-0 run over the final 1:18 and take a 31-17 lead at halftime.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Marvelle Harris made two free throws with 7.2 seconds left and finished with 14 points Saturday night as Fresno State beat New Mexico 59-55.

Paul Watson added 10 points, 11 rebounds and four steals for Fresno State (14-15, 9-7 Mountain West). The Bulldogs led 46-36 with 10 minutes left.

Deshawn Delaney’s free throw pulled New Mexico (14-15, 6-11) within 55-53 with a minute to go. Harris made 1 of 2 to give the Bulldogs a threepoint lead with 28 seconds.

This photo released by Team Xtreme Racing shows their stolen race car after it was found in Snellville, Ga., Saturday. had been made, Oglesby said his department had a “person of interest” and was continuing to pursue leads to determine just how many people were involved.

He also identified a vehicle used by the thieves, which was spotted on a surveillance video.

There was still no sign of the trailer and its other contents, which included a spare engine valued at $100,000 and racing equipment valued at $17,500.

“We’ve got two out of three,” Oglesby said. “Now we’re looking for the trailer.”

The car was found about 20 miles from the hotel south of Atlanta where it was stolen early Friday.

Since the truck and trailer had no markings to indicate they were part of a race team, police speculated that thieves likely didn’t realize what they had stolen and might abandon the high-powered car.

“Have you seen that show ‘48 Hours?’” Cohen said. “I figured if we didn’t have it

back in 48 hours, we were not getting the car back.

The first 24 hours is crucial. It was definitely right at 24 hours when we got the car back.”

The team didn’t bring a backup car to Atlanta, so it had to withdraw from Sunday’s Sprint Cup race after missing Friday qualifying.

Travis Kvapil was set to drive.

Since the No. 44 car wasn’t damaged, Cohen said it should be able to run at Las Vegas with Kvapil behind the wheel.

The team also plans to send a backup car.

Kvapil is also set to run for Team XTREME the following week at Phoenix.

Normally, the car is transported using the team’s hauler, an 18-wheel tractor trailer. But, with a winter storm moving through the Southeast this past week, Cohen sent the hauler to Atlanta a couple of days early.

Back at its shop, the team continued putting in 18-hour days to prepare

Stolen No. 44 NASCAR race car found in suburban Atlanta Saturday

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — The No. 44 race car returned to its NASCAR shop in North Carolina on Saturday after it was recovered along a remote road in suburban Atlanta, apparently abandoned by the thieves who stole it from a hotel parking lot.

While the discovery didn’t occur in nearly enough time for Team XTREME to compete in this weekend’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, it was a huge boost for the small-budget operation in its bid to make the next event at Las Vegas.

“There was no damage whatsoever,” team owner John Cohen told The Associated Press. “Nothing was taken off the car. Even the antennas that went to the radio were still in the seats.”

Police in Gwinnett County northeast of Atlanta received a suspicious vehicle call at approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday, nearly 24 hours after the race car was stolen, said Jeffery Richter, the public information officer. A motorist spotted the No. 44 machine along a darkened road and quickly realized it must be the stolen race car.

Cohen was called to the scene, confirmed it was his $250,000 race car off the shoulder of the road, and called a tow truck to take it back to their shop in suburban Charlotte.

“It was backwoods,” Cohen said. “There were no lights around. (The thieves) made sure no one could see them while they were getting rid of the car.”

While the truck and trailer that were hauling the race car weren’t found at the scene, the truck was spotted a few hours later in Stockbridge, Georgia, not far from the hotel where the theft took place, said Morrow police Detective Sgt. Larry Oglesby, who led the investigation in the south Atlanta suburb.

“The truck was on the side of the road,” Oglesby said. “A citizen driving by noticed it and said, ‘Hey, that looks like the truck on TV.’” He said the handle on the driver side door was busted, as well as the ignition switch. While no arrests

the car, a different version than the restrictor-plate version that raced in the season-opening Daytona 500. The No. 44 was sent to Atlanta late Thursday aboard the much-smaller trailer, accompanied by crew chief Peter Sospenzo and six other team members.

They got to Morrow, not far from the speedway, and stayed overnight at a hotel. The trailer, with the red race car inside, was parked outside along with the black 2004 Ford F-350 pickup truck. Surveillance video showed the truck and trailer being driven out of the parking lot shortly after 5:30 a.m., Oglesby said.

The team was scheduled to leave for the track at 5:45 a.m.

“I’ve been doing this since 1979,” Sospenzo said. “I’ve probably been to 1,200 hotels and 1,200 race tracks. Never once has this happened. It’s crazy.

But there’s a first for everything, I guess.”

Harrington takes 36-hole lead, then more rain falls in Florida

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Padraig Harrington is a 36-hole leader on the PGA Tour for the first time in nearly five years and he knows he has a long way to go.

A vicious storm Saturday at the Honda Classic made his weekend even longer.

Harrington made six birdies in the 12 holes he played Saturday morning in the rain-delayed tournament to complete a 4-under 66 and take a one-shot lead over Patrick Reed, with Ian Poulter and Brendan Steele another shot behind.

The third round ended 51 minutes after it started because of a storm that packed 50 mph gusts and dumped about 5 inches of rain on PGA National. The storm was so severe that it created an air bubble on the 18th green the size of a sea turtle, caused the sides of bunkers to cave in and toppled an electronic scoreboard off a platform and down to the bottom of a lake.

“That’s as bad as I’ve ever seen it rain,” Russell Knox of Scotland said after a 68 left him four shots behind.

Only 24 players completed a hole before the storm arrived, causing the third delay of the week. The plan was to return at 10 a.m.

Sunday to resume the round, and continue with the same pairings to play as much as possible on Sunday. The tournament now is to end on Monday.

“We’ve got pretty much a mess,” said Slugger White, the tour’s vice president of competition.

NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Mason’s game was grit over glitz, more force than flash.

That may not fit some New York stereotypes, but it was the perfect style for the Knicks of the 1990s, and made the rugged power forward a beloved bruiser by teammates and fans.

Mason has died, the Knicks said Saturday. He was 48.

Former teammate Patrick Ewing said his “heart is heavy” after learning Mason had died after recent heart problems.

“Mase came to play every night and was always ready to go to battle with me every time we stepped on the court together,” Ewing said in a statement.

“I will remember him for his strength, determination and perseverance.”

Mason was a defensive force who played for six NBA teams from 19892003, a popular protector of superstars like Ewing and respected by opponents who knew they were in for punishment when they played against him.

“As a competitor, there was none fiercer than Anthony Mason. Standing on the opposite end of the

playing field, coaching in those great Chicago/New York battles, No. 14 in the orange and blue always stood out,” said Knicks President Phil Jackson, who coach the Chicago Bulls during their many matchups against the ’90s Knicks.

Added Michael Jordan: “Mase was one of the toughest competitors of his era.”

He remained a fighter throughout his health problems, his family said.

“We would like to thank everyone for their heartfelt thoughts and strong prayers. Anthony felt each and every one. He fought like a warrior to the very end,” the Mason family said in a statement provided by the Knicks.

Mason won a Sixth Man Award with the Knicks and later made an All-Star team, but it was the toughness he provided alongside Charles Oakley while surrounding franchise center Ewing that made him a fan favorite in New York.

“MY MAN MY MAN A. MASON R.I.P, WE GONNA MISS U BROTHER,” Oakley wrote on Twitter.

and returned Saturday with back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th holes, and then another from about 10 feet on No. 1, posing over just about every shot.

After a bogey set up by a wild tee shot on the par-5 third hole — he had to pitch down the second fairway because of the trees — Harrington ran off three straight birdies before a few loose tee shots cost him. The rough had become so thick and wet that he couldn’t reach the green on his last two holes, making bogeys on both.

He finished at 7-under 133.

“It’s nice to be in contention,” Harrington said. “I’m very positive about my game coming in here this week. I don’t know what’s going to happen the next 36 holes, but I have a good idea where I’m going. I’m pretty confident.”

Reed finished his 67 on Friday.

Poulter matched the low round of the week at PGA National with a 64 and was two shots back. He holed out for eagle with a sand wedge on the fourth hole and dropped only one shot on the back nine.

“If I play half as good as I’ve obviously played today, then I’m going to have a chance come Sunday,” Poulter said.

Steele’s 69 score doesn’t reflect his up-and-down day.

He didn’t make a par until the 10th hole, playing the front nine with six birdies and three bogeys. And then he made nothing but pars on the back nine except for a double bogey on the 16th.

Browns, quarterback Josh McCown agree to terms on contract

In this Dec. 7, 2014, file photo, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh McCown throws during an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions in Detroit.

(AP) – The Browns have yet another new quarterback, and this one has a familiar last name.

Josh McCown, who went 1-10 as Tampa Bay’s starter last season, agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Cleveland on Friday. McCown’s younger brother, Luke, played for the Browns in 2004 — one of 22 different starting quarterbacks the Browns have used since 1999.

The 35-year-old McCown had also been in contract talks with the Buffalo Bills, who like the Browns have QB issues.

While McCown didn’t play well in 2014, he does give the Browns options as they try to solidify a problematic position.

McCown will likely compete for the starting job, but if he doesn’t win it, he can serve as a mentor for Johnny Manziel and Connor Shaw. Or possibly be a backup if the Browns sign another veteran in

free agency or draft one of the top college prospects in this year’s draft.

“I just want to serve our team and help everybody in that locker room, do my best to help everybody in the locker room be better at their job, and they’re going to help me, too,” McCown said. “It’s a twoway street. I’m just excited about coming in and being a part of a team.”

McCown’s signing also likely means the Browns have decided not to re-sign Brian Hoyer, who won 10 games for them the past two seasons. Poised to become a free agent next month, Hoyer made 13 starts last season before he was benched in favor of Manziel, who entered a rehab facility last month. Hoyer had hoped to meet with Browns general manager Ray Farmer next week to discuss his future, but now that meeting might be unnecessary.

teams, he could shine.

Mason played for New York from 1991-1996, and then for the Hornets until 2000. He made his only All-Star team in 2001 as a member of the Miami Heat, after reuniting with Riley.

“Anthony Mason exemplified perseverance for all players fighting for their chance in the NBA,” Commissioner Adam Silver said.

“NBA fans and players around the league admired his tenacity on defense and playmaking on offense.”

He wasn’t all grit, though. Despite his plodding look, Mason was a nimble athlete and deft ballhandler who often showed up for games with words or designs styled into his hair.

Mason was drafted in the third round out of Tennessee State in 1988 by Portland, but he never played for the Trail Blazers. After a brief stint overseas, he played sparingly in 21 games for the New Jersey Nets and Denver Nuggets before he finally caught on with Riley’s defense-first Knicks in 1991. He was a force for them as they made a run to the 1994 NBA Finals, and clashed with other powerful East-

ern Conference teams, including Jordan’s Bulls.

He was dealt to Charlotte in a July 1996 trade that brought Larry Johnson to New York. With the Hornets, Mason played three strong seasons in four years, missing 1998-99 due to injury, before Riley brought him to Miami, where he was coaching a Heat team that played with the same style as those Knicks teams with which Mason flourished.

At Tennessee State, Mason was dominant, and was the school’s first All-Ohio Valley Conference selection. In the 1987-88 season, he took a school-record 247 free throws.

Anthony Mason was born Dec. 14, 1966, in Miami. He went to high school in the New York City borough of Queens, where his son Anthony Jr. would later play for St. John’s University before going on to a pro career in the minor leagues and overseas.

Another son, Antoine, is at Auburn this season after transferring from Niagara, where he graduated after finishing second nationally with 25.6 points per game last season.

No. 1 Kentucky bests No. 18 Arkansas for SEC title LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Andrew Harrison and Trey Lyles each scored 18 points, and top-ranked Kentucky rolled past No. 18 Arkansas 84-67 Saturday to clinch the Southeastern Conference regular-season title.

The long-awaited marquee matchup of the SEC’s top two teams belonged to the undefeated Wildcats (29-0, 16-0) on both ends as they earned their 46th league title and halted a three-game losing streak against the Razorbacks (23-6, 12-4). Kentucky’s league-leading defense held the conference’s top scoring team to just 38 percent shooting and 12 points

below its average.

The Wildcats meanwhile shot 48 percent from the field and outrebounded the Razorbacks 38-32, among other statistics, to extend their best-ever start.

Tyler Ulis added 14 points and Devin Booker 10 for Kentucky, which led by as many as 31 with eight minutes left.

Michael Qualls’ 17 points led four Arkansas players in double figures, but the Razorbacks couldn’t keep up after the early minutes.

Bobby Portis added 15 points, Alandise Harris 12 and Rashad Madden 11, none of which mattered against a Kentucky squad that once again played

its best against a ranked opponent.

Then again, this game mattered a little more for the Wildcats. Besides facing perhaps their last major hurdle to an unbeaten regular season, they were also motivated to beat Arkansas for just the second time in six meetings.

The Wildcats succeeded by slowing down Arkansas and keeping its dangerous duo of 6-foot-11 Portis and 6-6 Qualls. Lyles, Willie Cauley-Stein (seven points, nine rebounds, four blocks) and Karl-Anthony Towns (eight points, five rebounds) had a lot to do with that as Kentucky controlled the paint 40-24.

The 6-foot-2-inch sophomore guard led a fast break charge up the right side of the court and powered to the hoop for a stuff that gave the Coyotes a 38-23 lead, prompting the roar.

He followed that play with a steal and fed Hicks, who missed his shot but was fouled.

Hicks converted the free throws, and after stopping the Bulldogs at their end, Dominic Anaya drilled a 3-pointer from the left corner to put the Coyotes ahead by 22 points. Anaya added nine points in the victory.

Ice, snow cover some New Mexico roads after storms ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Parts of central and northern New Mexico received a record-breaking snowfall overnight, with more expected throughout the weekend, weather officials said.

Meteorologist Todd Shoemake said more snow and rain is expected in the state’s north-central and northwest areas, with the impact hitting the northern mountains.

Albuquerque, however, saw a lighter snowfall Saturday, though residents might not have been able to tell.

“Most of Albuquerque has had anywhere from 4 to 10 inches of snow. It’s really kind of crippled the city,” Shoemake said.

About 4.7 inches of snow blanketed the city Saturday.

Meteorologist Jason Frazier said the precipitation in the next couple of days would likely take the form of a “rainsnow mix” or just more rain.

Albuquerque and Santa Fe have received as much as 1 inch of snow per hour for several hours since Friday, according to the National Weather Service. The Weather Service said a “snow band” developed over both cities, which have been brought to a standstill by slick and icy roads.

Officials at Albuquerque International Sunport said Southwest Airlines canceled all incoming and outgoing flights Saturday. Other airlines have only canceled specific flights. Travelers were advised to call ahead of time and check on the status of their flight. According to officials,

the runways were clear Saturday afternoon with some aircraft arriving. However, expected snow could change conditions at any time.

Albuquerque city spokeswoman Rhiannon Schroeder said that all non-essential city services were closed Saturday. But crews were working “diligently” to maintain major roads and access to hospitals. Workers were up before dawn plowing, salting and cindering the roads.

Some areas still presented difficult driving conditions because of snow-packed or icy roadways, the state Department of Transportation reported early Saturday.

Those areas included a 150-mile stretch of Interstate 25 between Rowe and Raton, a 150-mile segment of U.S. 64 from Agua Fria to Clayton, and 70 miles along I-40 between Clines Corners and Newkirk.

Officials are warning motorists to stay off roadways because of difficult driving conditions. Albuquerque police said Friday night they were experiencing a high volume of calls about traffic accidents. As a result, they were only responding to incidents involving injuries.

This marks the third in a train of storms to hit the region since Thursday, Shoemake said. The storms are connected to a system that also brought wintry weather to parts of west and northern Texas. The second one led to Albuquerque and Rio Rancho closing public schools Friday because of highways and roads covered in ice and snow.

State Briefs OB-GYN gives up state Medical Society presidential post

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Hobbs obstetrician and gynecologist who allegedly had sex with patients and left some giving birth unattended is giving up the presidency of the New Mexico Medical Society.

The Albuquerque Journal reported Saturday that Christopher S. Driskill handed in his resignation as president-elect of the professional organization.

Driskill was slated to become president in May. His resignation comes days after his medical license was conditionally restored by the state Medical Board.

Driskill’s license was suspended in November based on evidence that he kept patients waiting, had affairs with patients and staff and drank on the job.

The board ruled he could practice again after completing a two-week course on professional boundaries.

He will also be monitored by a nonprofit that specializes in helping health providers with addictions.

Farmington man charged with stabbing pregnant girlfriend

FARMINGTON (AP) — A Farmington man is accused of stabbing his girlfriend in the neck after learning she was pregnant.

The Farmington Daily Times reports that 26-year-old Kyle Desoto was charged Wednesday in Farmington Magistrate Court with battering a household member with a deadly weapon.

According to court records, Desoto is being held on $75,000 bond.

Police say Desoto called 911 Tuesday and initially told officers that two Native American men, one a marijuana dealer, attacked his girlfriend after forcing their way into his home.

But the victim, who was treated for non-life-threatening wounds, told police Desoto started “freaking out” when he learned she was pregnant. She says the suspect accused her of infidelity before stabbing her.

He is expected in court next week.

Senate reconfirms appointment of New Mexico health boss

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico’s top health official has the backing of the state Senate.

The chamber voted unanimously Friday to reconfirm Retta Ward’s appointment as head of the state Health Department. She has held the post since January 2013.

Ward said in a statement that she’s humbled by the support she has received and that her department is made up of people who are dedicated to making New Mexico a healthier place to live.

During her tenure at the department, New Mexico was among 14 states and territories to report a decline in adult obesity rates. The teen birth rate also dropped 10 percent in a year’s time.

Ward previously managed the arthritis program for the Arizona Department of Health Services and worked as a health educator for Albuquerque Public Schools.

Late-term abortion ban headed to New Mexico House floor

SANTA FE. (AP) — A measure that would ban late-term abortions is on its way to the House floor for consideration.

The House Judiciary Committee advanced the measure Friday on a 7-6 party-line vote.

Those who spoke in favor of the measure said lawmakers had an obligation to stand up for unborn children, but opponents had reservations about government weighing in on what they described as a personal decision.

The bill would allow exceptions if the procedure were necessary to preserve the life or health of the woman or if the pregnancy resulted from sexual abuse, rape or incest.

Supporters say the bill is designed to bring New Mexico in line with 42 other states.

The committee also approved along party lines a measure that would require parental notification for minors seeking to have an abortion.

The world at a glance Russian opposition figure Boris Nemtsov shot to death; government calls it a provocation

MOSCOW (AP) — A few hours after going on the radio to denounce President Vladimir Putin’s policies as mad, charismatic opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was gunned down early Saturday as he walked near the Kremlin.

Colleagues in Russia’s beleaguered and marginalized opposition pointed fingers at the state or at assailants fired up by fervent nationalist sentiment in state-controlled news media. But Putin and other Russian politicians suggested the brazen attack was a provocation against the state.

Nemtsov, 55, was shot while walking with a female companion on a bridge over the Moscow River about 400 yards from the Kremlin. Russia’s Investigative Committee said at least seven shots were fired.

Nemtsov was to have been a prominent participant in a march planned for Sunday in Moscow to protest Russia’s policies in Ukraine, where the West alleges the Kremlin has provided troops and equipment to separatist rebels, and the economic crisis sparked by Western sanctions over Ukraine and the plunge in oil prices.

Organizers canceled the march and said they would seek permission to hold a mourning rally for Nemtsov on Sunday. City authorities had made no decision on that by midday.

Homeland Security funding fight underscores limits on Republican leaders’ control of Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two months into full Republican control of Congress, GOP leaders are struggling to demonstrate they’re really in charge.

The stunning House defeat Friday of a threeweek spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security exposed Speaker John Boehner’s weakness in the face of rebellious conservatives. It also demonstrated anew his need to rely on Democratic help at key moments, as the minority party’s agreement to a one-week spending bill helped the speaker get it over the finish line with only hours to spare before a threatened agency shutdown.

President Barack Obama signed the bill shortly before midnight.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for his part, had already bowed to the demands of Democrats and stripped contentious provisions rolling back Obama’s immigration policies from his chamber’s

version of the spending bill.

The two leaders face different — and often competing — challenges as they try to produce the responsible governance they promised voters after November elections in which Republicans won control of the Senate and increased their House majority to the largest in some 70 years.

Two months into the new Congress, the severe limits to their powers are confronting both Boehner and McConnell as they aim to chart a course for the final two years of Obama’s presidency. That path could help lead their party back into the White House, and perhaps even produce a few legislative achievements.

For 800,000 people, government error on health care tax forms means more filing-season hassles

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not uncommon to feel some trepidation around tax-filing season. But there’s an added hassle this year for nearly a million consumers who got financial help with health insurance premiums under President Barack Obama’s law.

The government sent consumers erroneous information on forms that they need to complete their 2014 tax returns.

Now they’re getting robocalls and emails advising them to delay filing until the mistakes get fixed.

Some are taking it in stride. Others wonder what else could go wrong.

“It’s been a comedy of errors from the start,” said K.C. Crafts, a freelance financial writer from South Berwick, Maine.

The mistake the government made affected 800,000 customers receiving subsidized health coverage through the federal insurance market. Some states running their own insurance exchanges also have had tax-form troubles.

Investigators grapple with motive of gunman who killed 7, then himself in tiny Missouri town

TYRONE, Mo. (AP) — Residents in a remote area of southern Missouri are trying to come to grips with what could cause a man to kill seven people, including four of his own relatives, in a nighttime shooting spree that spanned four homes.

The shooter, identified by authorities as 36-yearold Joseph Jesse Aldridge,

used a .45-caliber handgun to kill two people each at three homes, one person at another, and then himself, in a reign of violence that began late Thursday night. All of the victims lived in or near the tiny, unincorporated town of Tyrone in the rolling hills of Missouri’s Ozarks region, about 40 miles from the Arkansas border. All of the victims were adults.

Texas County Sheriff James Sigman said people generally have felt safe in small towns like Tyrone.

“Start locking your doors,” the sheriff said.

“The world’s changing.”

The motive for the shooting was still under investigation Friday. The few people in town willing to talk about it knew little about Aldridge, described as somewhat reclusive in an otherwise tight-knit area. Some said they’d seen him around and talked to him, but not enough to form an opinion.

Top capos fall in Mexico, but drugs keep flowing and crime shifts as gangs splinter or regroup

MEXICO CITY (AP) — It’s another big score for the Mexican government, which has been tearing through its list of most-wanted drug lords in recent years.

Still, no one expects drug trafficking or violence to decrease after the capture of Servando “La Tuta” Gomez, a former grade-school teacher whose Knights Templar cartel once terrorized the western state of Michoacan.

Crime will only shift around as the now weakened cartel regroups, or even splinters, as has happened with some of Mexico’s drug gangs after the killings or capture of top leaders. Others continue business as usual after top leadership hits.

“Dismantling them was a necessary step, but that does not end the problem of insecurity,” Alejandro Hope, a Mexico City-based security analyst, said of the Knights Templar. “The next part is more complicated. There are still small groups, remnants, which will be extorting, robbing and perhaps even producing methamphetamine.”

Gomez, 49, was arrested early Friday as he left a house in Morelia, the capital of Michoacan, along with eight bodyguards and associates toting a grenade launcher, three grenades, an Uzi machine pistol and assault rifles, National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said.

Top Mexican drug cartel leaders captured or killed in recent years

Recent captures or killings of top Mexican drug cartel leaders: • Feb. 27, 2015: Federal police capture Servando “La Tuta” Gomez, one of the world’s most-wanted drug lords who once terrorized Michoacan state as leader of Knights Templar cartel.

• Oct. 9, 2014: Officials announce arrest of Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, purported leader of Juarez cartel.

• Oct. 1, 2014: Mexico announces capture of Hector Beltran Leyva, alias “The H” and “The Engineer,” who allegedly became head of Beltran Leyva cartel after his brother Arturo died in a 2009 gunbattle with troops.

• March 9, 2014: Soldiers kill Nazario Moreno Gonzalez, leader of La Familia Michoacana and later Knights Templar, while riding a mule in the remote Michoacan mountains. Government had wrongly claimed that he was killed in December 2010.

Forgiving but not forgetting: 70 years later, survivors want Battle of Manila remembered

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Seventy years have not dulled the memories of survivors of the monthlong Battle of Manila. The mass killings by Japanese forces, the loved ones lost and the desperation are etched in their minds, as is the elation when American forces finally rescued them in the closing months of World War II. The U.S. liberated the Philippine capital from the Japanese, but not before Manila was destroyed and more than 100,000 civilians killed. About 16,000 Japanese soldiers and 1,000 U.S. troops also died in the fighting from Feb. 3 to March 3, 1945.

Manila was the second-most devastated city in World War II after Warsaw, Poland, said historian Ricardo Jose of the University of the Philippines. He called the city “one of the worst battlefields in the world.”

When the Japanese invaded the Philippines, then an American colony, in 1941, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of the U.S. forces there, declared Manila an “open city” to spare it from destruction. But when the Americans returned, the Japanese decided to fight to the last man, from building to building, and burned entire city blocks.

Civilians died from malnutrition and American shelling, but mostly, historians agree, at the hands of Japanese troops.

Spock’s ears: A pointy trademark for the late Leonard Nimoy

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Leonard Nimoy, who died Friday at age 83, likely had the most famous lobes in Hollywood. As the logical half-human, halfalien Mr. Spock in “Star Trek,” his pointy Vulcan appendages became a signature — and a nuisance — for the actor.

“Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry was determined to have Nimoy don pointed ears as the Enterprise’s chief science officer. It was easier said than done. Before the first episode was filmed, numerous designs of the ears’ shape and size were created before he settled on the perfect ears.

Deputies recover dress that ‘greatly resembles’ Oscar dress stolen from Lupita Nyong’o

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A white dress that strongly resembles the custom gown taken from Lupita Nyong’o’s hotel room earlier this week turned up Friday under a bathroom sink in the same hotel, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s official said.

The dress found at a West Hollywood hotel “greatly resembles” the pearl-adorned Calvin Klein Collection by Francisco Costa dress the actress wore to Sunday’s Academy Awards, sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said.

Detectives were trying to verify whether the recovered dress is the same one Nyong’o wore, she said.

One of the actress’ representatives reported the dress was stolen from her room at the London Hotel late Wednesday.

Authorities placed its value at $150,000, although experts say it could have fetched more on the black market.

Police in German city warn of potential extremist threat

BERLIN (AP) — Police in the German city of Bremen warned Saturday of a potential danger from Islamic extremists there and stepped up security measures.

Officials received indications of an elevated risk from violent Islamic extremists on Friday evening, police in the northwestern city said in a statement. They gave no further details of the nature of the potential

threat.

Police said they stepped up their presence in the city and, as a precaution, increased security for the Jewish community.

They said Saturday evening, several hours after issuing the warning, that they had carried out searches on an unidentified suspect and at an Islamic culture center.

One person was arrested, they added.

The warning comes amid heightened concern in Europe about terrorism following attacks this year in Paris and Copenhagen.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The southern African nation of Lesotho on Saturday held an early election aimed at overcoming tension among political factions that has led to violence among security forces since last year.

Polling stations closed after peaceful voting in the mountain kingdom, one of the few countries on the continent to have experienced coalition rule. Analysts said there is a possibility that no party will win a majority, meaning the country could end up with another coalition government dependent on the delicate alliance of its partners.

Initial results will be released on Sunday, said Mahapela Lehohla, chairman of Lesotho’s election commission. Military aircraft will help round up the results by flying them from remote areas to the central counting station in Maseru, Lesotho’s capital, according to Lehohla.

Last year, Prime Minister Thomas Thabane suspended parliament to avoid a vote of no-confidence after his coalition government splintered.

He fled to South Africa, alleging he was the target of a coup attempt, and returned under the protection of South African forces.

The parliament has 120 seats and the country has 1.2 million registered voters.

Lesotho has little strategic significance, although it is a vital source of highlands water for parched South Africa, which has one of the continent’s biggest economies and has been heavily involved in trying to stabilize its small neighbor.

South Africa’s deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa, frequently visited Lesotho to mediate among the factions before the election. Ramaphosa said he was confident that conditions for free and fair elections had been met.

From Iraq to New York, a busy week for Islamic State group B

EIRUT (AP) — Little known to the wider world 18 months ago, the Islamic State extremist group has muscled its way into the international spotlight by carving out a self-declared caliphate in the heart of the Mideast, beheading its opponents and foreign journalists, and attracting radicalized youth as far afield as Paris, London and New York.

The militants’ once seemingly unstoppable push across Syria and Iraq has slowed to a crawl in recent months as the United States, its Arab allies and even rival Iran work to roll back the group and ultimately defeat it. Despite those efforts, the extremists show little sign of crumbling under the weight of international efforts to crush it.

Here’s a look at what happened this week involving the extremist group and the fight against it:

SYRIA AND IRAQ: KIDNAPPING CHRISTIANS AND SMASHING ANCIENT ARTIFACTS In northeastern Syria, the militants swept through several villages and seized more than 220 Christians from their homes over a three-day stretch beginning around dawn Monday.

The onslaught also forced thousands of people to flee to nearby cities. The fate of those kidnapped, almost all of them Assyrian Christians, remains unclear.

The abductions have compounded fears among religious minorities in both Syria and Iraq, where the Islamic State group’s fighters have repeatedly targeted minorities, killing them, driving them from their homes, enslaving their women and destroying their places of worship.

In northern Iraq, meanwhile, the militants took sledgehammers and drills to smash ancient Mesopotamian statues and other

group in Somalia, but he still was able to leave Britain and join militants in Syria. Cameron defended Britain’s intelligence services, but Emwazi’s ability to travel freely to Syria is seen as an indication that British police and security forces are simply overwhelmed by the number of people who are radicalizing.

London police said Tuesday that their information indicated the girls had successfully crossed into Syria, where they are thought to have linked up with the Islamic State group. Officials say 500 to 600 Britons have traveled to Syria to help the militants, with an increasing number of young women showing an interest in the group.

He had not been known to the general public, but had been seen by Britain’s security services as a potential threat. It turned out they had questioned him several years ago — and, according to emails Emwazi sent to an Islamic support group, even tried to recruit him as an informer.

The case highlighted the difficulties Britain faces in trying to mitigate the terrorist threat. Security officials had questioned Emwazi because they believed he had been planning to join a terrorist

UNITED STATES TO SYRIA? AMERICAN AUTHORITIES ARREST THREE MEN ACCUSED OF PLOTTING TO HELP MILITANTS The Islamic State group’s ability to inspire devotion allegedly reached the United States as well, where authorities arrested three men Wednesday on charges of plotting to help IS and wage war against the U.S. Akhror Saidakhmetov was arrested at New York’s Kennedy Airport, where he was attempting to board a flight to Istanbul en route to Syria. Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev had a ticket to travel to Istanbul next month. The third defendant, Abror Habibov, was arrested in Florida and stands accused of helping fund Saidakhmetov’s efforts.

Prosecutors say Saidakhmetov, 19, also threatened an attack in the U.S. if he was unable to join the Islamic State group.

Juraboev’s plans included attacks against U.S. President Barack Obama or planting a bomb on Coney Island, officials said.

For the past year, the FBI has expressed worries about the flow of Western fighters to Syria. The Department of Justice has charged around 20 people in the past year with planning to travel to the Middle East to fight alongside militants, including from IS. U.S. officials are concerned about Americans going overseas to train with these groups and returning with plots to carry out attacks at home.

Femininity gets a rethink during Milan Fashion Week

MILAN (AP) — Femininity is getting a rethink in Milan.

Designers are incorporating more masculine tailoring, while giving a contemporary edge to normally girly touches like bows, ruffles, lace and, yes, polka dots. Among the runway trends during Milan Fashion Week, in its fourth day Saturday, are silken blouses tied with an off-skew bow around the neck.

Highlights from Saturday’s shows, including Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli, Jil Sander and Pucci:

Bottega Veneta Pop Art

Colors popped at Bottega Veneta: Emerald green, teal, yellow, russet, violet and orange, matching in tone and intensity the bold polka-dot patterns that dominated the runway for the first part of the show.

The repetitive dotting in contrasting colors would transpose easily into a Roy Lichtenstein painting — but the women wearing Tomas Maier’s creations show none of the existential distress that the pop artist normally portrayed.

She is confident in polka-dot tunics in teal or emerald green with a contemporary neck line that flips over to reveal contrasting colors. From bold, the looks grew more pretty with overlays of delicate black or rust lace over colorful dresses, and Maier maintained the contemporary edge with transparent panels in overcoat that become a show-window of sorts to the eye-popping color of the daywear underneath. Capes had a trapezoidal shape, offset by streaks of color.

Maier anchored the collection with a pair of black suits set off by a crinkled silk scarf twisted around the neck — a stylistic gesture that conveys what Maier means by a “nonchalant sense of style.”

Sober Frivolity

Jil Sander designer Rodolfo Paglialunga’s first winter womenswear collection for the brand put the coat at front and center — keeping the lines very long.

“Jil Sander represents a little bit of the elegant world for me, and that’s why I wanted to do this long silhouette,” Paglialunga said backstage after the show.

The collection puts its focus on the basics: pants, footwear

and coats. Belted overcoats are worn casually over flared trousers. Dresses and tunics were based on the overcoat form, with big pockets and lean lines, adhering to the brand’s minimalist roots. Shorter jackets were worn with cropped trouser-skirts.

Geometric lines running diagonally or along garment edges underscored the discipline of the pieces.

What frivolity there was came in the form of color — bright orange booties or yellow knee boots — and subtle detailing like an orderly ruffle peeking out from a neckline.

Paglialunga called it “that touch of frivolity in a garment that isn’t so frivolous. A little delicateness. It was a touch of femininity.”

For Paglialunga, it’s normal for women to wear men’s trousers, jackets and shirts.

“You need to know what to add on to make it more confident and elegant,” he said.

Keepin’ it Sexy

Roberto Cavalli isn’t about to give up his perch as designer to the sex bombs, no matter the trends around him and no matter what happens after the sale of the brand that has been showing in Milan for 20 years.

His collection for next winter was unapologetically sexy, from the exotic print mini-dress beneath a fur-lined overcoat to the last plisse gown with cutout diamond-shapes accentuating the waistline.

Few do red carpet gowns with more billow and bluster, and the newest creation comes in either a halter top or with feminine, blousy sleeves. The two-tone gown fades from powder blue to rock ‘n’ roll purple, or blue into rust for a psychedelic sunset.

Cavalli and his wife, Eva Dueringer, the driving forces behind the company, gave a quick wave to the crowd after the show —and not their usual full runway strut.

Cavalli is in the final stages of talks to sell a majority stake in the brand he founded and forged into one of the world’s bestknown brands, favorites of such stars as Sharon Stone, and what role he will have under the new ownership is unclear.

CEO Daniele Corvasce told The Associated Press that Cavalli will stay on in the role of founding shareholder. But that doesn’t make clear what his creative role may be, something that has been gaining attention amid

reports that other designers may be brought on board by the new owners.

“We will make announcements as soon as we have news or something to communicate,” Corvasce said.

With the negotiations entering due diligence, the sale could be completed in the coming weeks.

“I hope that I can rest,” Cavalli told the ANSA news agency before his show.

Handsome Houndstooth

Even Ermanno Scervino, known for his prowess dressing sensual women, says he likes to play with gender identity in his designs — without ever blurring the lines.

Scervino dipped into the male fabric playbook and deployed a macro black-and-white houndstooth for coats, dresses and even as accents. There was a skirt and jacket ensemble with a sequined black top, a striking coat with an asymmetrical shawl collar and an overcoat with red sequin appliques over the black-and-white repeating pattern.

Houndstooth has never been so pretty, and was called on to lend drama to a more ethnically suggestive coat and an Asian-inspired red silk dress.

Deconstructed Modernism

Gone is the opulent Aquilano -Rimondi of not so faraway yesteryear. The collection that the designing duo Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi presented was more somber, edgy and urban than in the past. The main look was a deconstructed suit that became drop-waist dresses, coats and jumpers, decorated by the strange bedfellows of metallic eyelets and silver sequins, lending a tinge of glitz to the industrial edge. The pair belted their looks near the bustline, giving a faux empire waist.

Eva in the Stairs

And out of nowhere one model carried an aura of knowing worldliness. She stopped and smiled knowingly for the cameras. Ah, that’s super model Eva Herzegova walking for Pucci designer Peter Dundas in a velvet jacket embroidered in gold with zodiac signs over a long ruffley black dress.

Dundas, a Sagittarius, sought to embrace the unknown with the Zodiac-themed show, and some pieces, like long velvet coat over a zodiac printed dress, looked downright wizardly. “In fashion

We can’t always control things and sometimes wonderful things happen when you can’t control them,” Dundas said backstage. “Leave it to the stars.”

Dundas created magic with silhouettes so long models looked like they were walking on

Morocco reports six-fold spike in foreign filming

TANGIERS, Morocco (AP) — Morocco saw a six-fold increase in the amount of money foreign film companies spent in the country to make movies, the head of the film commission said Saturday.

On the final day of the National Film Festival in Tangiers, Sarim Fassi-Fihri said that 38 for-

eign productions had spent a record $120 million in 2014.

The figure is more than the last five years put together. Foreign film companies spent only $22 million in 2013.

Fassi-Fihri attributed the increase to the presence of experienced film crews and stable politics.

“For the Middle East

region, we are practically the only one that can guarantee peace and stability,” he said, explaining that film companies are avoiding the rest of the region.

Morocco’s largest filming operation in 2014 was “Mission: Impossible 5,” which at one point closed a major highway between Marrakech and Agadir for weeks during the shoot.

The next biggest was NBC’s 12-episode biblical series “A.D. The Bible Continues.”

Morocco’s mountains and deserts have frequently been used as backdrops for modern Middle East thrillers and biblical epics.

Scenes for “American Sniper” and “Spectre,” the next James Bond film, were also filmed in Morocco.

stilts under their velvet palazzo pants, accented by bags with fringe so long that it’s probably time for a trim. The eclectic collection also included eye-popping mini-dresses of black and white optical patterns, paired with matching maxi-boots, and striking gowns of wrapped ribbon.

Cranston becomes a producer of ‘Finding Neverland’ NEW YORK (AP) — The upcoming Broadway musical “Finding Neverland” has found a new producer to join its ranks — Bryan Cranston.

Lead producer Harvey Weinstein said Friday that the Tony Award-winning former “Breaking Bad” star had signed up after being enchanted by an early workshop.

The show, directed by Diane Paulus, explores the Peter Pan book’s back story and stars Matthew Morrison of “Glee” and former “Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer. Performances begin March 15 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

Morrison will play J.M. Barrie, the “Peter Pan” author, and Grammer will play his producer. The musical is adapted from the 2004 whimsical film of the same name about a widow whose four young sons inspired Barrie to write the children’s classic.

The show has a book by British playwright James Graham, whose “This House” premiered at the National Theatre in 2012, and music and lyrics by Gary Barlow of the pop band Take That, and songwriter and producer Eliot Kennedy.

Cranston last year made his Broadway debut playing President Lyndon B. Johnson in “All the Way” and won the Tony for best leading man in a play.

In a statement, Weinstein said: “We were so thrilled that he wanted to

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Legendary martial arts star Bruce Lee is getting the official biopic treatment, daughter Shannon Lee announced Friday.

Despite his untimely death in 1973 at age 32, Bruce Lee helped to create and popularize a genre that still endures and influences today with roles

in films including “Fist of Fury,” ‘‘Way of the Dragon,” and “Enter the Dragon.”

Bruce Lee Entertainment will produce the project in collaboration with Lawrence Grey (”Hope Springs”) and Janet Yang (”The Joy Luck Club”).

In the statement, Shannon Lee said the film will

explore her father’s writings, art and philosophies in addition to his martial arts stardom.

Neither a star nor a director has been set for the film.

The 1993 biopic “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” was based on widow Linda Lee Cadwell’s book.

Bill Cosby asks judge to dismiss 3 accusers’ defamation suit BOSTON (AP) — Bill Cosby’s lawyers asked a federal judge on Friday to throw o u t a d e f a m a t i o n l a wsuit filed by three women accusing the comedian of decades-old sexual offenses.

The women, all of whom have stepped forward in recent years, say Cosby’s representatives publicly branded them as liars while trying to defend his innocence.

But Cosby’s lawyers say the actor was merely acting in self-defense as his character was under attack.

“The law does not require that one stand idly by while he is publicly attacked,” the lawyers argue in their 38-page filing. “Instead the law entitles an individual who is accused of serious wrongdoing to rebut the allegations without facing defamation claims.”

Joseph Cammarata, a lawyer for the three accusers, said his clients disagree with that position.

“We believe that the law provides that when you make a public statement about an individual, it must be truthful,” he said. “We look forward to an opportunity to have the truth tried by a jury who can ultimately determine which of the parties was being truthful.”

Cosby’s lawyers say their client denies all of the allegations of sexual misconduct.

Cosby, who starred as

Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the beloved sitcom “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992, hasn’t been charged with any crime. At least 15 women have stepped forward in recent years to level various assault accusations.

Tamara Green, a California lawyer, says Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in her Los Angeles-area apartment in the early 1970s.

Therese Serignese says Cosby drugged and raped her in a dressing room after a show in Las Vegas around 1976. And Linda Traitz alleges he tried to drug her and then groped her on a Southern California beach in about 1970.

Cosby’s lawyers say his representatives were responding to the accusations in strongly-worded rebukes.

One November 2014 statement references Traitz’s “extensive” criminal record, which includes larceny, fraud and drug possession charges.

“As the old saying goes, ‘consider the source,’” wrote Cosby attorney Martin Singer, who also attached copies of Traitz’s Florida criminal and prison records with the statement.

Another November 2014 statement cited by Cosby’s accusers offers “general comments” on the allegations and does not specifically name any of the accusers, his lawyers say.

Color Dash sets up races all over the United States and donate the profits to local non-profit organizations. Color Dash was looking to host a race in Roswell and contacted the Down Syndrome Foundation of Southeastern New Mexico. To prepare for the race, scheduled for March 21, the Down Syndrome Foundation is doing 21 Days of Random Acts of Kindness. To kick off 21 Days of Random Acts of Kindness, Jessica Burson, Miss New Mexico, spent Tuesday with children at the Down Syndrome Foundation handing out balloons. The Down Syndrome Foundation will be doing random acts of kindness until the Color Dash March 21.

By Dylanne Petros Vistas Editor As a spring fundraiser, the Down Syndrome Foundation of Southeastern New Mexico and Color Dash teamed up to bring a splash of color to Roswell.

The Color Dash 5K will be March 21, which is also World Down Syndrome Day, said Missy Holman, executive director of the Down Syndrome Foundation of Southeastern New Mexico.

Color Dash was looking to host an event in Roswell, Holman said, and reached out to the Down Syndrome Foundation.

“We were looking for something different and new to do,” she said.

“It just so happened it worked out nicely to do this.”

All money raised from the dash, which will start at 10:30 a.m.

March 21, will go to the Down Syndrome Foundation for general operating expenses, Holman said. “(It will) help run programs,”

she said.

Some of the programs the money will go toward include speech therapy, swim lessons, a handwriting class and a teen and adult cooking class.

The money, Holman said, will also help expand programs in the nine counties the Down Syndrome Foundation services. The nine counties the Down Syndrome Foundation services are Chaves, Eddy, Lea, De Baca, Lincoln, Otero, Roosevelt, Curry and Dona Ana counties.

“We just worked out an arrangement with First Tee and we’re going to do some First Tee camps this summer not just here in Roswell but in other locations where First Tee is doing things,” she said.

The Color Dash is an organization that hosts 5Ks all over the country to raise money for numerous local non-profit organizations. Since starting in August 2012, Color Dash has helped raised more than $1 million for non-profit organizations.

During the rest of the year, the Down Syndrome Foundation hosts only one fundraiser, which is also the biggest awareness

event for the organization.

“We only do our Buddy Walk in the third weekend in October,” Holman said.

Even though there are only two big fundraisers during the year, the Down Syndrome Foundation also promotes the 21 Days of Random Acts of Kindness until the Color Dash.

Jessica Burson, Miss New Mexico, met with the Down Syndrome Foundation Tuesday and gave colored balloons to the kids.

“That’s … our first random act of kindness,” Holman said.

Packet pickup and late registration for the dash will be at 8:30 a.m. and the race will start at 10:30 a.m. March 21. The race will start at DeBremond Stadium and go down the bike path and

back to the stadium.

“There’s going to be five color stations along the route,” Holman said.

People can picked up at the color stations, she said.

The race is not timed and it is a family-friendly event, Holman said. After the race, there will be an after party with food, provided

by Toddzilla and Micro Doughnuts, as well as a disc jockey.

Holman said the Down Syndrome Foundation would not have been able to put on the event without help from Roswell Toyota, Bullock’s Jewelry, First American Bank, Cattlefeeds, Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico and the Roswell Do-It Center.

Even though it is the first year to do the Color Dash, Holman is hopeful the event can become an annual thing.

“We hope to make this a standing event,” she said.

Gettin’ another van

Bill Cosby asks judge to dismiss defamation suit BOSTON (AP) — Bill Cosby’s lawyers asked a federal judge on Friday to throw o u t a d e f a m a t i o n l a wsuit filed by three women accusing the comedian of decades-old sexual offenses.

The women, all of whom have stepped forward in recent years, say Cosby’s representatives publicly branded them as liars while trying to defend Cosby’s innocence.

But Cosby’s lawyers say the actor was merely acting in self-defense as his character was under attack.

“The law does not require that one stand idly by while he is publicly attacked,” the lawyers argue in their 38-page filing. “Instead the law entitles an individual who is accused of serious wrongdoing to rebut the allegations without facing defamation claims.”

The lawyers say Cosby denies all of the allegations of sexual misconduct.

Cosby, who famously starred as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the beloved sitcom “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992, hasn’t been charged with any crime. At least 15 women have stepped forward in recent years to level various assault accusations.

Tamara Green, a California lawyer, says Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in her Los Angeles-area apartment in the early 1970s.

Therese Serignese says

Cosby drugged and raped her in a dressing room after a show in Las Vegas around 1976. And Linda Traitz alleges he tried to drug her and then groped her on a Southern California beach in about 1970.

Cosby’s lawyers say his representatives were responding to the accusations in strongly worded rebukes.

One November 2014 statement references Traitz’s “extensive” criminal record, which includes larceny, fraud and drug possession charges.

“As the old saying goes, ‘consider the source,’” wrote Cosby attorney Martin Singer, who also attached copies of Traitz’s Florida criminal and prison records with the statement.

Another November 2014 statement cited by Cosby’s accusers offers “general comments” on the allegations and does not specifically name any of the accusers, his lawyers say.

“The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity,” Singer wrote at the time. “It is long past time for this media vilification of Mr. Cosby to stop.”

C4 Sunday, March 1, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My fiance, "Bubba," and I have a small disagreement that I would love your take on. He constantly complains that he's too tired, or annoyed or busy, to show me romantic or friendly affection and attention. But he goes out of his way to snuggle and play with our two dogs and cat.

I get jealous when he kisses our dogs over and over again, or stays up later to play with the cat. He thinks I am overreacting.

Am I being petty, or am I justified in thinking that if he has the time and energy to give

Comics affection and love to our animals, he should do the same for the woman he's about to make his wife?

INSULTED IN CONNECTICUT DEAR INSULTED: Y ou ' re n o t overrea ctin g or being petty. Perhaps when Bubba is cuddling the animals, you should remind him that humans need to feel loved in the same way they do. Bubba appears to be extremely insensitive. Please reconsider your engagement, because if you marry Bubba, you may end up starving for affection for as long as the marriage lasts.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law is now in a nursing home. When my husband's birthday came around, he was depressed by the fact that it was the first time in his life he hadn't gotten a birthday card from her.

So, after struggling to think of a Christmas present for her, I went to the dollar store and

bought four Christmas cards and four birthday cards (one for each of her children). I took them to her and had her sign and add a personal note to each one.

I addressed, stamped and mailed the Christmas cards. I will mail the birthday ones at the appropriate times during the year. It was an inexpensive gift, and kind of fun!

SENDING LOVE IN CEDAR RAPIDS DEAR SENDING LOVE: It may have been an inexpensive gift, but I'm sure it was precious not only to her but also for each of the recipients. Your idea was lovely, and thank you for sharing it with my readers.

Some of them may want to emulate it for other holidays or special occasions.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: Three years ago, our son, who is in his 50s, cut off all communication with us and our side of the family. He is self-em-

Roswell Daily Record

ployed, a hard worker and has three siblings.

He wanted us to co-sign on a loan for a house in another state.

The payments would have run us out of money in three years, which would have meant putting our own home up for sale.

Our reason for refusing was we didn't want to risk becoming a burden on our children. My husband and I had to help our own parents, so we have been frugal and never lived above our means.

I send postcards to my son to let him know our love is constant. Should I stop and just leave him alone, as he has asked?

FORGOTTEN MOM IN ARKANSAS DEAR MOM: Your son should not have expected you to do anything at this stage of your lives that could jeopardize your remaining years. But if it brings you comfort, I see nothing wrong with sending him the occasional postcard.

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Here is this week's SOUND OFF, about restaurants and seating: "My Sound Off is when hosts in restaurants seat an obviously handicapped person, and walk by umpteen empty tables to a seat clear in the back of the place! My husband uses oxygen and a cane, and they are constantly making us walk through the place to the back.

"I know that they try to keep the numbers of customers for waitstaff even, but there should be exceptions. I have begun asking for a table closest to the entrance, but many hosts seem oblivious to this request."

L.L., Branson, Mo.

Dilbert

I find it hard to comprehend that keeping customer tables "even" for waitstaff is the reason.

It could be for the safety of other patrons and waitstaff, not having to navigate around medical appliances. However, if the host does not comply with your request, ask to speak to the manager.

Unless there is a "code" they should follow (which I cannot find anywhere), you are the customer.

They are making money off you!

Ask for the table you want -- don't be deterred.

Heloise HHHHH

For Better or For Worse

Readers, here is another comment about people leaving a voice message and the number cannot be understood.

Heloise HHHHH

Garfield

Dear Heloise: You had an article regarding the difficulty of understanding a callback number spoken rapidly on an answering machine. Try this if you have a portable phone attached to the answering machine: My portable phone has a menu item called "view CID." Clicking it gives the numbers that called. I can find the one that coincides with the time of the call, and can easily call it back.

Ronald M. in Florida

Hagar the Horrible

Ronald, thanks for writing. Be aware that you can be fooled by the number that is displayed! Sometimes the callback number is NOT the same as the number the call came from. There may be one main number for doctors, lawyers and most large companies. But it's a start if you have the person's name.

Heloise HHHHH SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

Snuffy Smith

Dear Readers: Here are other uses for canning jars: * Store craft supplies, like buttons, sequins, etc. * As a candleholder for outside. * As a penholder on a desk. * Use as a vase on the lanai. * Use to store leftovers.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: When I visit my family who has moved out of state, I bring them a gift from our hometown. I save up the newspapers, especially the Sundays, and it's like a treasure hunt for them. They catch up on who got married, high-school sports and local politics. It's fun to watch them turn the page and shout, "Oh my, here is a photo of Mrs. XYZ at her 90th birthday party."

We save some of the papers in a big box and dig them out once in a while. It's like reading real-life history where you really know the folks!
