SUNDAY

Civil rights milestone marked by first black president SELMA, Ala. (AP) — America’s racial history “still casts its long shadow upon us,” President Barack Obama said Saturday as he stood in solidarity and remembrance with civil rights activists whose beatings by police a half-century ago galvanized much of the nation against racial oppression and hastened passage of historic voting rights for minorities. Tens of thousands of people joined to commemorate the “Bloody Sunday” march of 1965 and take stock of the struggle for equality.

Under a broiling sun, the first black U.S. president praised the figures of a civil rights era that he was too young to know but that

helped him break the ultimate racial barrier in political history with his ascension to the highest office.

He called them “warriors of justice” who pushed America closer to a more perfect union.

“So much of our turbulent history — the stain of slavery and anguish of civil war, the yoke of segregation and tyranny of Jim Crow, the death of four little girls in Birmingham, and the dream of a Baptist preacher — met on this bridge,” Obama told the crowd before taking a symbolic walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where the 1965 march erupted into

police violence.

“It was not a clash of armies, but a clash of wills, a contest to determine the meaning of America,” Obama said. He was 3 years old at the time of the march.

A veteran of that clash, Rep. John Lewis, who was brought down by police truncheons that day in 1965 and suffered a skull fracture, exhorted the crowd to press on with the work of racial justice.

“Get out there and push and pull until we redeem the soul of America,” Lewis said. He was the youngest and is the last survivor of the Big Six civil rights

activists, a group led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. that had the greatest impact on the movement.

In the crowd stood Madeline McCloud of Gainesville, Florida, who traveled overnight with a group of NAACP members from central Florida and marched in Georgia for civil rights back in the day. “For me this could be the end of the journey since I’m 72,” she said. “I’m stepping back into the history we made.”

Also in attendance was Peggy Wallace Kennedy, a daughter of the late George Wallace, the Alabama govSee SELMA, Page A3

A sea of bowls

More than 1,300 handmade ceramic bowls were donated to Saturday’s Soup ’n Bowl event at the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. The majority of the bowls were made by the Pecos Valley Potters Guild. Other bowls were made by middle school students and students from the Roswell Museum Ceramic Program.

For a $25 ticket, participants got to peruse the vast selection of bowls and pick out one to

take home. Many people bought extra tickets for extra bowls. An estimated 500 people attended.

Ticket holders also got to chow down on their choice of two delicious soups, chunky potato and green-chili-pork-hominy.

The last Soup ’n Bowl was held in 2012. The fundraiser is held whenever there is a community art project that needs funding. Saturday’s Soup ’n Bowl will support the L.J. Reichman Park, which is located downtown on North Main Street.

A large crowd gathers near a stage where President Barack Obama spoke and then took a symbolic walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Saturday, in Selma, Ala. This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” a civil rights march in which protesters were beaten, trampled and teargassed by police at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, in Selma.

House votes to ban late-term abortion

SANTA FE (AP) — The New Mexico House of Representatives approved a ban on late-term abortions and a bill requiring that parents be notified at least 48 hours before a minor ends a pregnancy.

The 42-26 vote on the first bill came after nearly four hours of debate, and the second 39-28 ballot another three hours later.

Both bills now head to the Senate.

Lawmakers shared per-

sonal stories, sometimes emotionally.

Supporters say the late-term abortion ban is designed to bring New Mexico in line with 42 other states that prohibit some abortions after a certain point in pregnancy.

Abortion-rights advocates say women need safe access to abortions, not government interference.

Just in time for Easter

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer At 22 years old, Hagerman’s Megan De La Rosa finds herself in the middle of state politics, with dreams of maybe also becoming the state’s second Latina governor one day.

The 2011 graduate of Hagerman High School worked for Gov. Susana Martinez’s 2014 re-election campaign and currently works as a legislative assistant for state Rep. Don Tripp, Speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives.

De La Rosa, who turned 22 on March 1, said Martinez, the nation’s first Latina governor, is her biggest inspiration.

“I would say Gov. Martinez is probably my biggest mentor. She’s a great person to work for,” said De La Rosa, the daughter of Martin and Judy De La Rosa of Hagerman. “She truly holds great values.”

Asked if she would like to be the state’s second Lati-

“I would love to be,” she said.

De La Rosa is one of just three employees in the Speaker’s office. She said the days go by quickly in the fast-paced environment of the Roundhouse where lawmakers meet every January for legislative sessions.

Woman accused of abusing 11-month-old LAS CRUCES (AP) — A woman has been accused of child abuse involving her 11-month-old grandson in Las Cruces.

Authorities say 58-yearold Margaret Edmond has been indicted by a grand jury.

They say Edmond previously lived with her son, grandson and the child’s mother.

Las Cruces police say the home had video cameras in the living room, back porch and bedrooms.

In one of the record-

ings, police say Margaret Edmond is seen allegedly slapping the baby on the hand repeatedly and then jabbing him in the face when he attempts to a blanket in his crib.

Edmond’s son was indicted in January on suspicion of kidnapping, child abuse and aggravated battery against a household member.

Authorities say the man’s girlfriend reported that he had held her against her will and threatened her life.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Albuquerque police have arrested a 32-year-old man who allegedly tried to run over a bond agent before shooting at another person.

Police say Carlson Jones was captured Friday night after jumping out of a third-floor window of a hotel to elude arrest.

According to police, bond agents were initially there to speak to a woman but reported she and Jones

were causing a disturbance.

Police say Jones jumped out of the window in their room and suffered injuries in the fall.

He is being treated at a hospital before being booked into jail.

Authorities say Jones was being sought for absconding from a bond agents had posted when he drove at one of them on Monday.

De La Rosa Continued from Page A1

I was asked by Rep. Bob Wooley to come to work for him up in Santa Fe,” De La Rosa said. “Directly after high school, I came up and worked for Rep. Bob Wooley and Rep. David Gallegos.

“Rep. Wooley is a family friend. He knew I was wanting to head in that direction. He saw my passion for government and politics. He wanted to give me the opportunity to pursue a career in it. He wanted to see if I actually liked the process and to learn the process, so he asked me to come up and work with him.”

De La Rosa said she became aware of her political conservatism in high school.

“I can remember when (Sarah) Palin and (John) McCain ran,” she said. “I went up to Roswell and I worked in the Republican office making phone calls.

Right when I got into high school, I pretty much knew I’ve had conservative values my whole life. I grew up in a small town, very religious, very family person, hard work, leadership, determination. I like the conservative values, what the party has to offer.”

After working as a legislative assistant in Santa Fe, De La Rosa said she had caught the political bug and wanted to continue serving at the state capitol, known as the Roundhouse. De La Rosa said as she continued her pursuit of a double major in criminal justice and political science at Eastern New Mexico University, another political opportunity surfaced.

“After that, I came back home and continued my

Sunday, March 8, 2015

studies,” De La Rosa said.

“This whole time I’ve been working, I continue going to college. The next 30-day session, I came back as a legislative assistant to the Republican leadership office. I was with minority leader Donald Bratton and minority whip Nate Gentry.

“After the 30-day session working with Rep. Bratton and Gentry, I was honored to have been asked to be the southeastern region political director for Gov. Martinez’s campaign. I covered all southeastern New Mexico. I had nine counties in my region. It involved a lot. We coordinated events for when she was in the region. We worked on getting out the vote. That was my first statewide campaign.”

After Martinez easily won re-election, with strong support in southeast New Mexico, De La Rosa obtained her current temporary position in the Speaker’s office, re-joining other young Republicans and Democrats working at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe. Although 2015 marks the first time Republicans have controlled the House since 1954, De La Rosa said the legislative process has gone smoothly, with House floor sessions wrapping up by 8:30 p.m. at the latest, so far.

De La Rosa explained a typical legislative day begins at 8 a.m. with committee meetings, followed

by House members convening on the floor at 10:30 a.m. After a lunch break, committees resume hearings at 1:30 p.m., before members re-convene on the House floor at 4:30 p.m.

“We’re getting bills passed left and right. It’s great,” she said. “I participated in late nights

before. I feel like this year won’t be as bad. We’re on a great schedule. I feel like we’re getting the important things passed. I know the last week will be hectic. We’ve actually come into this as a well-oiled machine, I believe. There’s bound to be bumps here and there. I feel like everything seems to be running great. Committees are running on time. The floor’s running on time.”

De La Rosa’s current position in the Speaker’s office is temporary, although she’s hopeful of remaining in state politics after the legislative session ends at noon March 21.

“That’s the million-dollar question, is what I’m doing after the session,” she said.

“I’d like to stay in the political realm. I enjoy working up here in Santa Fe.” De La Rosa said she would eventually like to serve in the Legislature.

The minimum age for a state representative in New Mexico is 21, while the minimum age for a state senator is 25.

“Possibly, eventually, down the road, I would like to run for a legislative seat,” she said. “I want to give myself some experience. I don’t want to go into it blind. I want to be able to represent in the way I should.”

In addition to the governor, De La Rosa said she has other mentors, including state Reps. Candy Spence Ezzell, Nora Espinoza, Bob Wooley and David Gallegos.

“They’re really the ones who pushed me to excel,” she said. “They give me advice. They really want to see me continue on and what I want to do. I would say they are my biggest mentors.

“I feel like my district has

the best state representative that I wouldn’t trade for anyone. That’s Candy Spence Ezzell. She is a great debater. She stands her ground on the issues.

I honestly truly look up to her. She’s great in debates.

I feel she’s representing our district well.”

De La Rosa also said she receives guidance from her former high school government teacher, Dink Denning.

“She’s probably where I got my start in wanting to go into government,” De La Rosa said. “The biggest thing is she wants me to excel in life, but she wants me to be happy in what I do. She said, ‘If you do what you love for the rest of your life, you’ll never work a day in your life, if you’re doing what you love.’

I actually just got to see her a couple weeks ago and it was great.”

De La Rosa is a member of the Chaves County Republican Women, serving as its awards chairman.

“Another person actually would be Joan Boué (president of the Chaves County Republican Women). Joan is great,” De La Rosa said.

“She moved here not knowing many people and she just went straight into taking on the role as Republican Women president.

She’s someone I can just go back and talk to and say, ‘Joan, am I making the right decision here?’ She’s the one I feel I can go back and talk to. She’s another one who just wants me to excel and be happy in what I do.”

months’ gestation and if the doctor determines the fetus is viable.

“These abortion bills aren’t about the sanctity of life. They’re about the insanity of politics,” said Rep. Miguel Garcia, D-Albuquerque.

Herrell amended her bill by removing exemptions for pharmacists and the use of the phrase “personal conviction” as a reason to refuse services to women seeking abortions. Democrats had rallied against the phrase in news releases calling the exemption “extreme.”

The Department of Health reported that minors had 290 abortions in 2010 in the state, according to a fiscal impact report.

Rep. Alonzo Baldonado, R-Los Lunas, made the

same amendments to his parental notification bill as Herrell. The proposal creates a requirement for the physician to notify parents when a minor elects to end her pregnancy.

“It’s a common sense law,” he said.

Calling the bills “a sweeping change to the law,” Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, argued that the refusal clause still would allow a medical employee to deny a pregnant woman emergency contraception based on

religious and moral belief.

“It is giving unprecedented power to the cashier at the drug store to disallow sales” of such contraception, he said.

Both bills include exceptions in cases of rape, incest, sexual abuse and when the woman’s life is in danger.

Under both proposals, a physician would face a civil penalty of at least $5,000 and his or her license would be taken away for at least a year.

is among dozens of abortion-regulation measures introduced in states across the country during the current legislative session.

Roman Catholic bishops of New Mexico, who have urged lawmakers to enact new abortion laws this legislative session with the GOP in control of the House for the first time in decades, said in a statement that they were encouraged by the passage of the late-term abortion bill and urged the Senate’s approval.

Democrats still have a majority in that chamber.

“This is not a bill eliminating all abortions, only late-term abortions ... it’s a human rights issue,” said Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-Alamogordo of her legislation, which prohibits ending a pregnancy after five

Vitriolic statements on Facebook more offensive than any cartoon

“The Roswell Daily Record is run by cross-eyed, ignorant, inbred Baptist trash that pander to an audience of equally racist retired crackers and former-military gun-kissers that think they can afford to support the TeaKlux Party of the RepubliKlan.” — Patrick M.

This statement was among the dozens of posts on the Daily Record’s Facebook page in the days following publication of a cartoon by staff cartoonist Keith Bell to satirize a recent discussion to consider changing the names of two streets in the city, one to honor civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and another to honor farm workers’ labor patriarch Cesar Chavez.

For nearly a week, the newspaper itself became the center of a national media frenzy as both the cartoonist and the newspaper itself were accused of pub-

Timothy Howsare Ripcord into Reality lishing an editorial cartoon that was offensive to Hispanics and African-Americans.

The intent of the cartoon was to address a very local issue — whether it makes sense to change the names of existing streets. If people read the cartoon any different from the intent the cartoonist intended, we apologize. We had no intention to offend any group of people. We value diversity in Roswell as that is what makes Roswell such a great place to live.

Changing a street name is not as easy as it sounds, and the estimated cost to taxpay-

ers is around $5,000 per mile of street, one city official has said.

Then there’s changing city maps, addresses with the post office, etc., etc. Certainly there are more important things to spend taxpayer dollars on, like fixing streets and replacing aging sewer lines. That’s what was on the mind of the cartoonist.

Most of the backlash on our Facebook page came from people like Patrick M., who do not live in Roswell and have little or no knowledge of our community and local issues.

It seems their time would be better spent addressing problems in their own communities than going online and telling people in Roswell — or anywhere else — what they should do.

To me, this very explicit comment and others like it on our Facebook page were far more offensive than what anybody could have construed from Bell’s cartoon.

Many of those who commented on our Facebook page used foul language, and, in crude attempts to parody cartoon, more or less stated that everyone except Native Americans should leave Roswell and go back to where their ancestors came from.

I don’t know how many Native Americans live in Roswell, but I’m guessing it’s not many. I don’t think they’d want to be left behind without a police department, fire department and teachers in the schools.

Again, these vitriolic statements seemed far more racist than what could be read into the cartoon.

An activist group in Santa Fe started a petition against the newspaper demanding that readers and advertisers drop the paper and the cartoonist be fired. Less than 10 percent of the signatures were from people who live Roswell.

There was at least one intel-

ligent commenter on Facebook who was not from Roswell.

It’s never good to ban freedom of speech.

What I found interesting about this man’s comments is that he indicated he was a liberal, and that a true liberal does not demand that the rights of citizens be taken away. By doing so, the liberal becomes no different than the right-wing extremists he is criticizing.

GOP’s risk-reward calculus on legalizing pot A recent survey has confirmed what everyone seems to think is true. Not only are younger voters way more likely than older ones to support a path to legalization for marijuana, but that trend holds true for young Republicans, too.

In the same Pew study that found 77 percent of Democrats ages 18-34 want legal pot, fully 63 percent of Republicans in the same age bracket agreed.

For the GOP, that signals a clear opportunity. But it also signals a risk that’s more complex than it first appears. To be sure, the easiest and simplest way to interpret the data politically is to decide that Republicans should bet on the future by supporting legal marijuana.

Opposition to that radical move, however, is still strong among older and more traditional Republicans, conservative and otherwise. Trying to outflank the Left on legalization won’t send those voters running into the arms of Democrats. But it would divide the party heading into a presidential election year — not the brightest strategy.

On the other hand, there’s an even more sophisticated way to calculate the political risk facing Republicans for moving too fast on pot. Whatever the impact of legal marijuana on our morals or our health, we just don’t know how future generations are going to come down on the issue once they get to experience a world where pot is fully legal. They might be perfectly thrilled.

Or not.

In other words, although the present might be a great time for the GOP to support legal marijuana, the future might not be. And there’s no real way to find out.

In the face of that type of risk, Republicans are well-advised to proceed with prudence at a measured pace.

Ironically, although the messy, patchwork character of drug reform in America sometimes seems to undermine the rule of law, it’s also helping show the virtue of conservative federalism — letting America change more as a “laboratory of democracy” than as a petri dish overseen by an all-powerful federal government.

There’s a wrinkle, of course. The costs and benefits facing users of illegal pot are not distributed equally. Drug war critics are right that the relatively privileged (including Barack Obama) get a pass for violating drug laws, while the less fortunate often have their lives ruined as a result. That’s why Republicans are well-served by pursuing common-sense criminal justice reforms while cautiously considering affirmative changes to our marijuana laws.

This approach requires more nuance than paint-by-numbers politics. But Republicans should trust the rewards of sound policy that it can provide.

Is rape culture an epidemic in America?

A new documentary calls colleges like Harvard and Notre Dame “The Hunting Ground,” where rapists prey on women. A bipartisan group of senators demand new rules to “curb campus sexual assaults.”

Apparently, new laws are needed because at colleges, sexual assault is “epidemic.”

Rape is so common that there is a “rape culture.”

I hear that a lot.

It is utter exaggeration.

Fortunately, AEI scholar Christina Hoff Sommers is around to reveal the truth.

“This idea of a rape culture was built on false statistics and twisted theories about toxic masculinity,” she says.

No one denies that some men, especially when drunk,

John

Stossel Syndicated Columnist get violent and abusive. I saw nasty behavior when I was in college, and I assume there are places worse than Princeton.

Sommers says, “I always make clear, rape is a very serious problem, (but) if you look at the best data ... it is not an epidemic. And we do not have a rape culture.”

The difference is not just numbers, she says. “Rape culture means everything in

society is reinforcing (rape) and making it seem a legitimate thing to do. Of course that’s not true.”

The media love crisis, and hyping sexual assault is a good way to get attention.

Recently, a Rolling Stone article said that men routinely assault women at the University of Virginia. It told a frightening story, based on one witness, of gang rape in a frat house that left the victim’s friends completely uninterested, since assault is so routine.

The article got lots of attention. Then completely fell apart.

“It proved to be a sort of gothic fantasy, a male-demonizing fantasy,” says Sommers. “It was absurd.”

In much American media, a rape story is “too good to check.” The Rolling Stone author admits she wanted to believe. She barely factchecked the claims made by her source. Her source’s story fit the reporter’s own “rape culture” narrative.

She interviewed students at many campuses, waiting for the rape story she wanted to hear.

The Rolling Stone story sounded extraordinary from the beginning. “But for several days, people in the media just believed it, and publicized it, and anguished over it,” says Sommers. To doubt was taboo. “The hysteria around campus assault, See STOSSEL, Page A5

Every visit to your doctor should include medication review DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m in my 70s. Every day I take 10 medications, many of which I have been taking for years.

How do I know if all of these drugs are still necessary?

DEAR READER: You’ve asked an important question.

It should be a part of every medical visit for your doctor to review your medicines. There are several reasons that I say this.

First, doctors’ visits these days are pretty short. We often feel rushed to cover everything in the time available. Even though we should be reviewing the medicines that a person is taking, we sometimes don’t.

Second, particularly when people see more than one doctor, they can sometimes be on more medicines than are nec-

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate essary. One doctor may even prescribe a medicine that has a negative interaction with a medicine another doctor has prescribed.

Third, our bodies change as we get older. Our kidneys and liver clear drugs from the body. As we age, these two organs clear drugs more slowly. As a result, drugs remain at higher levels in the blood for a longer time. That means

a dose of a drug that was optimal for you 20 years ago may be too high today.

People also gain fat and lose muscle mass with age. This shift also changes the way drugs are distributed to and broken down in body tissues.

Fourth, more drugs are available without prescription these days. People are taking more over-the-counter medications than they did 20 years ago. That includes vitamins, minerals and other supplements. These medicines, too, can have negative interactions with prescription medicines.

Because drugs stay in the body longer as we age, their side effects can be more severe. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Sarah Berry, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. She

noted that the following medications are especially likely to have significant side effects in older people: • BENZODIAZEPINES. These medications are used to treat anxiety or insomnia.

• Medications containing DIPHENHYDRAMINE. This drug is found in allergy medications and sleep aids.

• ANTIDEPRESSANTS. Both older, tricyclic antidepressants and newer antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause worrisome side effects.

• SLEEPING PILLS. These drugs cause next-day drowsiness and increase the risk of falls and fractures.

Maybe that is why God created you

We live in a troubled world. Just look at the front page headlines on any newspaper. This world is packed full of problems.

They exist on the other side of the planet, they exist across our country, they exist down the street, they exist in our homes.

There are clearly many more p rob lems in th is world than there are solutions. I have found over the years that it is much easier to identify problems than it is to come up with solutions. Ironically, there are many in this world who make a living off finding solutions to other’s problems. Then there are others in this world who are experts at pointing out every possible problem, many of them even before they arise.

Although I don’t always succeed, I try to live my life finding solutions rather than creating problems.

Sometimes it is like swim-

Rick Kraft Just A Thought ming upstream. Again, being far from perfect, I often have to “reinvent” myself to keep my focus on the solution.

Driving home last week from an out of town trip, I was listening to an album with a compilation of Christian songs. The words to one song jumped out at me.

It was a song by contemporary Christian musician Matthew West titled “Do Something.” It got me thinking about how we so easily ask the “why” question and then we sit on our hands. The lyrics to the song are: “I woke up this morning,

saw a world full of trouble now. Thought, how’d we ever get so far down, how’s it ever gonna turn around?

So I turned my eyes to Heaven, I thought, ‘God, why don’t You do something?’

“Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of people living in poverty, children sold into slavery. The thought disgusted me, so, I shook my fist at Heaven.

Said, ‘God, why don’t You do something?’

“He said, ‘I did, I created you.’

“If not us, then who?

If not me and you? Right now, it’s time for us to do something. If not now, then when? Will we see an end to all this pain? It’s not enough to do nothing, It’s time for us to do something.

“I’m so tired of talking about how we are God’s hands and feet. But it’s easier to say than to be.

Live like angels of apathy

who tell ourselves, ‘it’s alright, somebody else will do something.’

“Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of life with no desire. I don’t want a flame, I want a fire. I wanna be the one who stands up and says, ‘I’m gonna do something.’

“We are the salt of the earth. We are a city on a hill. But we’re never gonna change the world by standing still. No, we won’t stand still.”

Are you standing still or are you a person of action seeking to make a difference? Maybe changing the world is not on your radar screen, but studies have shown that people who believe they can change the world are much more likely to change the world than those who don’t.

We are told in the Bible at Psalms 139:13-16, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the Earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

I put the song lyrics and this scripture together because maybe, just maybe, God created you to address some of the “why God?” questions that we so often and so easily ask.

My challenge to you is to be a person of action.

If problems exist in this world (they do). If you were wonderfully made (you were). And if you have life ahead (you are here today), you have the ability to make this world a better place for others.

I do not believe that

God created you to stand still. Good intentions and no action equals nothing ... zippo ... zilch! Whatever has been placed in your mind as you have read this column has been placed in your mind for a reason.

In a world packed with problems both near and far, rather than point at the problems, dwell on them, and ask God the “why?” question, give some consideration to the possibility that maybe that is why God created you.

Maybe, just maybe, you were created to be a solution to a problem.

As the song is titled, “Do Something.”

Just a thought.

Slain aid worker honored as ultimate Good Samaritan

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — The father of an international aid worker killed while being held captive by Islamic State militants read a moving letter at his daughter’s hometown memorial service Saturday, recounting her discovery that her life’s purpose was to ease the suffering of others.

Kayla Mueller’s father paused to regain his composure as he read the letter written while his daughter worked an earlier job at an orphanage in India. Mueller’s brother rubbed his father’s shoulder as he struggled to get through a particular passage.

“This is my life’s work,” Carl Mueller quoted his daughter as saying. “But my family is my life.”

The 26-year-old was captured in August 2013 after leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Aleppo, Syria, and held for 18 months.

An estimated 500 people attended the memorial held in a college auditorium in Prescott, the northern Arizona mountain community where Mueller grew up. Speakers at the ceremony described Mueller as the ultimate Good Samaritan who had quick wit and an overflowing heart.

the false information has been building for so long,” warns Sommers, “people are willing to believe anything.”

President Obama added to the misinformation by pandering to the feminist victim lobby, creating a “sex abuse task force” and repeating a widely quoted — yet obviously absurd — rape statistic: “It is estimated that one in five women on college campuses has been sexually assaulted during their time

In this May 30, 2013, file photo, Kayla Mueller is shown after speaking to a group in Prescott, Arizona. The family of an American woman killed while being held captive by Islamic State militants held a final memorial service Saturday in her hometown in Prescott, Arizona. Mueller was an international aid worker who was captured in August 2013 in Aleppo, Syria.

Sen. John McCain’s voice cracked with emotion as he delivered a short tribute, saying Mueller has touched the lives of people who never actually knew her.

there. One in five!”

Yes, Mr. President, we hear that a lot.

But it’s a lie.

At allegedly horrible University of Virginia, where Rolling Stone said assault was routine, .46 sexual offenses were reported per thousand students. That’s 46 too many, but for “one in five” to be true, it would have to be 200.

Admittedly, many victims of assault fear going public, so the UVA number may be higher than .46.

Nevertheless, one in five just isn’t plausible.

“The figure is closer to one in 50,” says Sommers

“We can try to give justice to her murderers’ other victims and their families,” the Arizona senator said. “But even if we succeed, and our retribution is swift and complete, we could not equal the

of colleges overall.

Sexual assault is serious stuff. Activists trivialize it by asking survey questions like “Did you ever receive unwanted sexual contact while drunk?” and counting “yes” answers as assaults.

“The CDC did a study,” recounts Sommers. “They called it sexual violence if you said yes (to the question) ‘Has anyone ever pressured you to have sex by telling you tales, or making you feel guilty?’

That counted as violence.”

It’s not nice to pressure someone. But people do that. That’s different from

rebuke that Kayla’s life gave to the culture of death that robbed her of it.”

A slideshow at the ceremony flashed images of happy moments in Mueller’s life.

Childhood photos showed her on a camping trip, standing next to a snowman and laughing as a dog sat straight up in a chair at the table during a meal.

Other images showed Mueller as an adult, affectionately nudging her face on a horse’s neck in one photo and, in another frame, bending down to smell flowers.

Her father and brother, Eric Mueller, thanked the soldiers who risked their lives in a rescue attempt for Mueller. They also tried to bring some levity to the ceremony.

Her father, dressed in a spiffy dark suit and tie, made sure to lift up the legs of his pants to show off the rainbow-pattern socks he found in his daughter’s room.

In her hometown, Mueller helped raise awareness of HIV and AIDS and volunteered for the overnight shift at a women’s shelter. She protested genocide in Darfur, Sudan, while in college at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. She also traveled to the Palestinian territo-

If we forget the difference between violent and non-violent conduct, no one is safe. If we pretend everyone is guilty instead of a few real criminals, rapists win. No longer are they a dangerous group of very bad people, they’re just — men.

That’s no victory for women. Or anyone.

ries, Israel, India and France.

Her parents have started a nonprofit organization called “Kayla’s Hands” designed to further her humanitarian efforts locally and internationally.

Mueller and her Syrian boyfriend were both taken hostage.

He was released but returned to Syria to try to free her. Mueller became interested in Syria after her boyfriend told about the struggles of refugees there.

Her death was confirmed Feb. 10 by her family and U.S. officials. The militant group claimed she died in a Jordanian airstrike, but U.S. officials have not confirmed that.

Mueller is the fourth American to die while being held by the Islamic State group. Three others — two journalists and an aid worker — were beheaded.

In each case, their captors demanded huge ransoms, which the United States has refused to pay, saying doing so would only encourage more kidnappings.

President Barack Obama has defended that policy, although he has said it was extremely difficult to explain it to victims’ families.

The next time you see your doctor, bring all of your prescription and overthe-counter drugs and supplements with you. Just put them in a bag. It’s much easier than writing down a list of your medicines. And if your handwriting is as unclear as doctors’ handwriting can be, the written list may cause problems. And sometimes the drug or dose your provider thinks you use isn’t exactly the same as the one you are taking.

Bringing in everything is a good way for the doctor to see what you’re taking.

Finally, ask your doctor the same two questions of every drug in the bag: “Do I need to be taking this?” and “Could I get by with a lower dose?” It’s an entirely appropriate question, and your doctor should be pleased, not annoyed, that you’ve asked it.

Roswell Daily Record

‘But there’s nothing wrong with my home security system’ Last Tuesday, there was a front-page article in the Record from the RPD warning the Roswell public to beware of a possible door-to-door scam going on concerning home alarm systems. Todd Wildermuth, the Public Information Officer, and I have discussed this, and, at the risk of some redundancy, we think some additional comment should be made.

There is nothing inherently wrong with doorto-door sales. There are legitimate companies of all kinds which do their business in that manner.

It seems, however, that home security system companies are an example which we most often see here in Roswell. Organizations such as the False Alarm Reduction Association and Crime Stoppers USA remind us to be very careful when

dealing with door-to-door sales people and particularly home security system sales.

The City of Roswell has some very specific requirements to be met before these organizations are able to sell.

There is a business registration process that all such sales teams must complete before they hit the streets in our community. Each sales person must complete a vendor application, which includes personal information about the applicant. A background check

is performed through the Roswell Police Department, and finally a $25 fee is paid, which yields a blue-colored “Business Registration,” with a Roswell seal and a signature of the City Clerk.

This registration must be renewed every 30 days. If you choose to hear their pitch, do not hesitate to ask to see their registration!

The Roswell Daily Record article, however, referred specifically to a potential scam where an individual represented himself as a technician with a prominent local alarm company, stating that the customer’s e q u ip m e n t is o u td a t e d and should be replaced.

We have received several calls in which that has occurred. If someone comes to your door stating that they are from your alarm company and

that they are there to test, upgrade, or replace your existing alarm system, do not allow them into your home. Reputable alarm companies do not do business that way.

They do not send technicians to your home unannounced.

Scammers may claim that your alarm company has “gone out of business,” or been “acquired,” “bought out” or “been taken over” and that you need to replace existing equipment or sign a new contract. Do not take their word for such things without verifying it with your alarm company. There are multiple examples where residents have unknowingly obligated themselves to two separate companies, and must pay both. I have witnessed how difficult, and virtually impossible, it is to eliminate such a dou-

ble contract.

Sometimes, scammers will wear polo shirts which have GE or Honeywell logos emblazoned on them. You may be told that they just need to inspect your keypad or control panel because it is slated for replacement.

Neither of those prestigious companies will do that. Once again, someone is just trying to get into your home and into your wallet.

The purchase, installation and monitoring of a home security system is a reasonably expensive obligation and deserves care and comparison. If you are told that you must take advantage of the deal “today,” back away.

Do not allow yourself to be pressured like that.

Reputable alarm companies will not make such demands. Consider the features that you really

need before you make the purchase. Some companies will offer many “bells and whistles” which do cost money and which may not be necessary in your situation.

Give strong consideration to matters of service. Can that company from Timbuktu provide proper and prompt service to its customers?

Will its service match that of the company just down the street? Finally, if you already have an alarm system and someone comes to your door suggesting that you have some problem that you don’t know about, do not allow that person into your home. It’s probably a scam.

Loss of limbs doesn’t keep vet from practicing martial art MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) — Joey Bozik is showing the martial arts community there are no excuses.

The triple amputee competes in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, a martial art similar to wrestling but with submission attacks.

Bozik, a 36-year-old retired Army sergeant from McKinney, has amputated legs, one longer than the other, and an amputated arm. His other arm has about 70 percent of its capability.

Yet there he was, escaping submission attempts and taking his full-bodied opponent down at a major tournament in Houston this month that attracted fighters from across the globe.

He ultimately lost by points at the single-elimination tournament, but the audience was captivated.

“It was that Rudy moment,” his wife, Jayme, told The Dallas Morning News. “It was amazing. It was one of the most inspirational moments I have ever witnessed.”

Bozik lost his limbs in October 2004 while he was stationed in Iraq. He was working security with the Army military police when his Humvee rolled over a bomb. The injuries to the driver and gunner weren’t life-threatening, but Bozik’s were. He spent a year and a half recovering at Walter Reed

Hospital in Washington, D.C. At the time of the injury, Bozik was in a long-distance relationship with Jayme. When Bozik deployed for Iraq, she wasn’t concerned.

“I really didn’t think he would die,” Jayme said.

“We talked about getting injured, and you can lose as many limbs and it doesn’t matter. I am concerned if you come back with a brain injury. ... We left it at, ‘Don’t worry, I will be there for you.’”

Jayme was at the drugstore when she got the call about the explosion.

She had to wait five days before she was able to see her boyfriend, who was in a coma.

Days after Bozik awakened, he told Jayme: “I can’t carry you across the beach. I don’t know what your dreams and desires are, but if you’re planning to leave me, this is who I am now. I don’t have legs anymore. There is so much I can’t do.

And if you think you can’t accept this, I need you to leave now. It will be too hard for me if you decide to leave one to two years from now.

“Can you live with this?”

“I don’t need time,” Jayme said. “I know my answer.”

Replied Bozik: “Then I need to make a phone call to your dad.”

The couple married on the third-floor chapel at Walter Reed. They have two children: Violet, 6, and Asher, 2.

“He still had his mind and heart,” Jayme said. “I had already fallen in love with Joey for who he was; the physical didn’t matter. I still think he is the most handsome man in this world.”

Bozik uses a motorized wheelchair to move around. He can drive, but wherever he goes, he asks himself: “Are there ramps? Are the doorways wide enough? Are there enough handicap spaces?”

“People come up to me and say, ‘Sorry,’ but that’s not the reality of life,” Bozik said. “I don’t think, ‘It would be nice to have legs and go to the grocery store.’ I don’t see obstacles. I see a different way to get the task done.”

What Bozik didn’t see was becoming an athlete again.

He had played golf, but it was difficult with prosthetic limbs. There didn’t seem to be a sport to light a fire under him. He was gaining weight.

“He was kind of watching his body die,” Jayme said. “It’s always harder to get back up.”

Bozik had been a wrestler and martial artist in his teens. When he took his daughter to train at Tier 1 Training Facility

in McKinney, coach Alan Shebaro offered him a chance to return to the athletic world.

Shebaro, a former special forces weapons sergeant, was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., at the same time as Bozik, although they had never met. The two veterans instantly made a connection.

“Alan asked me if I would be interested in self-defense and BJJ,” Bozik said. “It was just to be able to protect my family.”

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a martial art similar to wrestling but with submission attacks, where a competitor attempts to defeat an opponent by using chokes or arm and leg locks. Known by the initials BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu promotes the idea that a smaller, weaker person can defend himself or herself against a bigger, stronger opponent by using technique and leverage.

BJJ is one of the major styles of mixed martial arts fighters. Unlike other martial arts, it takes an average of 10 years to earn a black belt.

Bozik, who doesn’t use prosthetics, took private lessons with Shebaro. At first, Shebaro was puzzled what to do.

He came up with eight sheets of potential moves for Bozik to learn. He had

Joey Bozik shares a laugh with Alan Shebaro during a one on one training session at Tier 1 Training Facility in McKinney, Texas, Feb. 17. to throw out six of them.

Some moves didn’t work because one of Bozik’s legs is longer than the other.

“I’ve never trained anyone in the same situation,” Shebaro said. “I told him, ‘If you’re willing to have patience with me, I’ll have patience with you.’”

The patience paid off.

Bozik moved to regular classes in September.

He spars with every student. He’s lost about 15 pounds.

“There was a lot of trepidation at first,” Bozik said. “Once I got to roll around, it was all gone.

It’s very cathartic. I spend so much time in the chair. It gives me time to get out.”

Said Jayme: “I don’t

think I’ve ever seen him as happy.”

Shebaro said Bozik is relentless in his training.

When Shebaro arrives, Bozik is already in the parking lot 15 minutes early.

People “take a look at him training and his work ethic,” Shebaro said. “He’s tapping out other white belts and giving blue belts a hard time because of his unique style.”

Bozik hopes his children and others heed one lesson.

“Don’t put yourself out of it before you get into it,” he said. “Never give up. There’s always a way if you’re willing to try.”

to the Patients of Dr. Pearson I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for trusting me with your medical care. It has been a privilege to work with you and your families in the interest of your health and wellbeing. However, I regret to inform you that I will no longer practice medicine in southeast New Mexico after March 27th of this year.

It would be contradictory for the tone of this letter to be sad because it has been a joy to meet and treat each and every one of you for the past 12 years. It is you, the patient, that still makes the practice of medicine interesting, enjoyable, and humbling.

I have received an offer and accepted a position on the east coast. I feel fortunate that I will also be closer to my family.

Best wishes to all of you for continued good health!

US, Europe united in Iran nuclear negotiations

PARIS (AP) — U.S. and European diplomats said Saturday they are united in their strategy and goal in trying to achieve a nuclear deal with Iran.

“We are on the same page,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said after talks with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.

“We know what we are chasing after and we are chasing after the same thing.”

Kerry and Fabius, who met with the British and German foreign ministers after their session, cited progress in the talks, with the last round just wrapping up Wednesday in Switzerland. But they also acknowledged big gaps that must be bridged if the sides are to reach a deal by the end of March deadline set by negotiators.

“There is progress in certain areas but there are also divergences,” Fabius said. He said more work needed to be done on the length of the proposed agreement and on how to verify Iranian compliance.

“There is still work to do on the duration, we need a guarantee and transparency is necessary,” he said.

Added Kerry: “We have exactly the same assessments. We have made progress but there are gaps. We need to close those gaps.”

Their comments appeared to be at odds with those of a senior Iranian official said some roadblocks hindering an agreement had been cleared.

Iran’s vice president, Ali Akbar Salehi, said technical impediments in the way of a final nuclear accord had been eliminated during the ongoing discussions with American negotiators.

Salehi, who is also in charge of Iran’s nuclear agency, told Iranian state television on Saturday that Tehran offered proposals to

Now charges are expected to be filed against Menendez in the coming weeks, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is pending.

Attorney General Eric Holder declined to say whether he has authorized criminal charges against the senator.

from France over certain provisions, held up agreement on an interim deal with Iran in November 2013.

Kerry denied such suggestions. He noted that he and Fabius would join German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier and British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond as well as the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Frederica Mogherini, for more detailed discussions.

“This is not a bilateral negotiation ... and all of our partners are consistently sharing information, sharing ideas,” Kerry said.

Steinmeier said after the meeting that he was hopeful of having “a possible deal wrapped up by the middle of the year at the latest.”

“We negotiate knowing full well that our responsibility is also to negotiate for others and that means only a lasting and resistant deal,” he said.

Kerry stressed that Iran still needs to make decisions to prove to the world it is not trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran claims its nuclear program is peaceful and exists only to produce energy for civilian use.

“We have a critical couple of weeks ahead of us,” Kerry said.

“But we are not feeling a sense of urgency that we have to get any deal. We have to get the right deal.”

In an address to the U.S. Congress last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned against making a deal that could leave Iran on the path toward nuclear weapons. “I would rather have no deal than a bad deal,” he said.

World and Nation Briefs Malaysian official: If lost plane not found by end of May, it’s back to drawing board

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — If the massive undersea search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 turns up nothing by the end of May, the three countries leading the effort will return to the drawing board, Malaysia’s transport minister said Saturday.

Liow Tiong Lai told a small group of foreign reporters on the eve of the anniversary of the plane’s disappearance that he remains cautiously optimistic the Boeing 777 is in the area of the southern Indian Ocean where the search is ongoing.

Despite the exhaustive search for the plane, which disappeared last March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, no trace of the jet has been found.

Malaysia’s government on Jan. 29 formally declared the incident an accident and said all 239 people on board were presumed dead.

“By the end of May, if we still can’t find the plane, then we will have to go back to the drawing board,” Liow said.

Asked if Malaysia might stop the search if there are no new leads by the end of May, when bad weather usually sets in, Liow said it was “too early to pre-empt anything now,” and that the government would continue to rely on the group of experts leading the hunt.

Analysis: Divided Republican lawmakers empower Democrats in congressional minority

WASHINGTON (AP) — Winners in a bruising struggle with Republicans over homeland security funding and immigration, minority Democrats had unity on their side, along with a politician’s understandable fear of terrorist attacks and the Constitution’s separation of powers.

The tea party-aligned, bitter-end Republican losers had outrage, and in the House, an unbending unwillingness to compromise that some of their own rank and file judged counterproductive.

The result was a rout that some Republicans say — and Democrats no doubt hope — portends poorly for their party.

Republicans “have got to find a level of cohesion where we can at least pass legislation that we get to the president’s desk,” said Rep. Dennis Ross of Florida as the party’s attempt to roll back President Barack Obama’s immigration directives flamed out. “If we can’t do that, we fail to govern and we lose 2016.”

Joint chiefs chairman optimistic about battle for Tikrit led by Iranian and Iraqi forces

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT (AP) — The one-two punch of Iranian-back militias and Iraqi government troops is likely to prevail in the unfolding battle for Tikrit, but it would not have been possible if U.S. airstrikes had not tied down Islamic State fighters elsewhere in northern Iraq, the top U.S. general said.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked by reporters traveling with him from Washington to Iraq whether he believes the Islamic State group will be pushed out of Tikrit.

“Yeah, I do,” he said. “The numbers are overwhelming.”

Dempsey said about 23,000 Iranian-based Shiite militiamen and Iraqi soldiers are involved in the offensive, compared to only “hundreds” of IS fighters.

The offensive is not what the Americans would consider textbook military tactics, he said, describing a hodge-podge of Iraqi Humvees, trucks and other vehicles surging toward Tikrit like rush hour on the Washington Beltway.

RIGA, Latvia (AP) — It was enough even for the normally unflappable European Union President Donald Tusk to start losing his cool. He stuttered, staggered his sentences, as he assessed what Russian President Vladimir Putin was doing to the EU’s brittle sense of unity.

“One of the most important goals for President Putin today is to divide Europe,” he said in off the cuff remarks to the European Parliament. He called it a key reason why he is “so obsessed about unity today.”

He’d better be. For EU unity has been in short supply here on the shores of the Baltic Sea, where Europe’s top diplomats gathered this week to forge a common strategy on the Ukraine crisis. When it comes to Russia, the 28-nation EU is roughly split in two. Several former Soviet bloc nations — including the three Baltic states and Tusk’s Poland — urge a tough line in the face of what they see as Russian aggression, while others like Germany and France are more careful to keep channels open.

At the same time, Putin has been wooing some nations like Hungary and Cyprus, making sure they can act as a thorn in the EU’s side.

Since foreign policy is set by unanimity between 28 nations, Tusk will find it tough to speak forcefully when he meets with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington on Monday.

US Senator Menendez, amid federal probe, says he has always acted ‘in accordance with the law’

Local artist wears suit of armor to protest sexual harassment on Afghanistan’s streets

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A f g h a n p e r f o r m a n c e a r tist Kubra Khademi was just 4 years old the first time she was molested by a stranger on the street, and recalls thinking one thing: “I wish my underwear was made of iron.”

So more than 20 years later she donned a suit of armor with large breasts and buttocks and wore it on the streets of Kabul to protest Afghanistan’s endemic harassment.

The eight-minute performance was not well received: She is now in hiding and afraid for her life. But after a lifetime of being pinched and prodded on the streets — and being told to keep quiet about it — the 27-year-old is determined to break her deeply conservative society’s silence on sexual harassment.

Jimmy Carter memoir to be published in July

NEW YORK (AP) — Not many ex-presidents have lived to age 90, and Jimmy Carter wants to share the experience.

Simon & Schuster announced Friday that Carter’s “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety” will be published July 7.

The book will include his thoughts on his domestic and international travels over the past three decades, on the presidents who succeeded him and on world leaders he has known.

Carter, a Nobel peace laureate who turned 90 last year, left office in 1981 and has had the longest post-presidential life in American history. He also is a prolific post-presidential author, with more than 20 books, including memoirs, poetry and policy books.

Illinois US Rep. Schock announces new review of spending

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — An Illinois congressman says he’s making several improvements to his record-keeping practices amid a growing scandal over using public money on flights, entertainment and office decorations.

The (Peoria) Journal-Star reports U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock announced Friday he’s hired third-party firms to oversee spending by his congressional and campaign operations. The Peoria Republican also says he’s hired a local accountant to review office procedures.

The 33-year-old congressman has been under scrutiny for expenses, including using congressional funds to redecorate his Capitol Hill office in the style of the television show Downton Abbey and a taxpayer-paid flight to Chicago to see a Bears football game.

A liberal-leaning group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, requested an investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics. The panel reviews complaints against House members.

Roswell advances to state hoops tournament quarters as Cooper notches 400th career win

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor Roswell’s road to a repeat is officially underway.

The 3-seeded Coyotes (24-3) dominated No. 14 Los Lunas (13-16) 66-43 Saturday afternoon on their home floor to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2015 Class 5A U.S. Bank State Basketball Championships Tuesday at “The Pit” in Albuquerque.

The first round win, which was a rematch of last year’s New Mexico 4A state championship game, was also Roswell coach Britt Cooper’s 400th career victory.

“It’s a nice milestone,” said Cooper after his Coyotes advanced to the quarterfinal round for the 11th straight season. “But I’ve always told people that the kids have won them. When you retire, it’s a nice thing to look back on as a career.

There’s not a lot of people in New Mexico that have that many.

“It means something. It’s been a ride, but hopefully there are many more to come.”

Cooper said he actually purposefully kept his players in the dark about the milestone so as not to put any additional pressure on them, but the secret was definitely out when the Coyotes took the floor and saw countless fans with signs waving that simply read “400.”

Frank De La O led the way for the Coyotes, scoring a game-high 21 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter alone.

Daniel Amador and Garret Smothermon rounded out Roswell’s double-figure scorers, with 12 and 11 points, respectively. Smothermon and Amador also combined for five 3-pointers on the afternoon. Jaivion Hicks finished with 8 after dealing with foul trouble in the first half.

“It shows that it’s a team deal,” said Cooper of his relatively balanced offensive attack. “It’s always a team effort. You’ve got to have everyone in there to win it, and I think those kids just dug down. You’ve got to have a little adversity to make a champion.”

Roswell faced little adversity initially as it got out to a blazing start, using an 8-0 run through the game’s first three minutes, with Hicks scoring three of the

Coyotes’ first five baskets.

But the Tigers would counter right back with a 5-0 run of their own, and the two sides would continue to trade baskets in the first quarter until Los Lunas’ Kayden Walker sank a deep 3-pointer with 13 seconds left to bring the Tigers within one at 12-11.

The offensive execution picked up for both sides in the second quarter, as the two teams combined for 42 total points in the frame.

Roswell came out determined, as the Coyotes pieced together a 10-2 run – which included back-toback three pointers from Smothermon – over the first 1:44 of the second to build a small lead. But again, Los Lunas countered, as Byers caught fire and led the Tigers to a 8-2 run of their own over the next few minutes. Byers finished with 11 points in the second quarter alone, with three 3-pointers, including one from the corner as time expired to trim Roswell’s lead back to single-digits as the teams headed into halftime.

But that would also be the last shot Byers would make Saturday, as coach Cooper and the Coyotes adjusted their defense at the intermission to focus much more closely on the senior wingman.

“Byers had 15 at half,” Cooper said. “So we went with a box-and-1 in the second half and he never scored again. I think that threw them out of their rhythm. We knew he could score a little bit, but we didn’t think he’d hurt us that bad. But when he has 15 points at half we had to change something up.”

Cooper specifically praised the defensive work of Chris Mesquita on Byers following the intermission.

“Sometimes what doesn’t show up in the stats is still big,” Cooper said.

With Byers basically out of the picture in the second half, Roswell went to work.

In fact, the Coyotes’ defense held the visiting Tigers to just four total points in the third quarter, as Roswell outscored Los Lunas 8-4 in the period to take a 13-point lead into the final frame of action.

Then, if there was any doubt left that Roswell was the better team after three periods, De La O and the Coyotes completely eliminated it as the senior guard scored 12 points down the

“He had 12 points in the fourth and made all his free throws.

“It’s nice to go back.

That’s why we’re here.

We kind of feel every year that’s our place. We feel like ‘The Pit’ is our second home and hopefully we can make some noise and bring home another crown this year.”

NMMI boys, Roswell girls continue their dominance at Coyote Classic

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent

The Lady Coyotes dominated their own tennis tournament Friday and Saturday, sweeping through the Coyote Classic with more points than any other team — boys or girls — and earning nothing less than a silver medal in each of the nine bracketed rounds.

“They’re doing fantastic,” said Roswell coach Kelly McDonald. “We’re looking forward to playing Farmington at our next tournament and maybe silver would be good. Looking for some competition that can push them a little bit as we head into district. But couldn’t be happier with my girls. They’re playing great.”

The tournament victory was the third in a row for the Lady Coyotes, who took first place finishes in all three doubles matches Saturday, to go along with gold in the No. 1, 4, 5 and 6 singles and silver in 2 and 3 Friday. That gave them 84 points for the tournament, well ahead of second-place Las Vegas Robertson, which garnered 63 points.

Jesse Jennings and Alicia Romero combined to take the No. 1 seed gold in the doubles, with Dani Contreras/Samantha Sanchez winning No. 2 and Stephanie Robertson/Karly Kunko No. 3.

On the boys side, it was no surprise that NMMI won the tourney, picking up 75 points to Lovington’s 53.

The Colts picked up five first-place finishes (in No.

1, 2 and 4 singles and No. 1 and 3 doubles), seconds in 5 and 6 singles and No. 2 doubles, and a lone third place in No. 3 singles.

“It was interesting,” said Colt coach Sean Reeves.

“Some of our guys barely got their eligibility, so they had to play JV. So some of our guys had to play up again. And it’s basically the first time we’ve had everybody here. Basketball just ended, so we had Ian Nelson and Felix (Juan Felix Garcia). They played together for the first time this weekend, and they won the doubles, so it’s going to be good to see where we go from here.”

Besides Nelson and Garcia’s win in No. 1 doubles Saturday, the No. 3 combination of Luis Fontes Plascencia and Maximo Othon

Valdez took gold, while Spencer Treat and Allen DeGroot finished second at No. 2.

As a team, the Goddard boys and girls took fifth, led by Chandler Lessard and Marc Nava, who finished second only to the NMMI squad on the boys squad, while the girls earned points with three consolation championships: Noor Osmani in No. 1 singles; Jessica Lewis No. 2; No. 4 Callie Maguire; No. 6 Naomi Ramirez; See TENNIS, Page B3 Karen Boehler Photo

No. 1 Kentucky beats Florida 67-50 for 31-0 regular season

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — After downplaying the possibility of the achievement in recent weeks, topranked Kentucky finally embraced its milestone following the end of Saturday’s 67-50 victory over Florida.

The Wildcats gathered at midcourt and hurriedly donned blue T-shirts with “31-0 Not Done Yet” in white. For sure, they seek nine more wins to claim the ultimate achievement for the storied program.

But taking a moment to recognize Kentucky’s first 31-0 regular season was significant for players who insist that winning the program’s ninth NCAA championship is most important. At the same time this celebration is temporary as the Wildcats will soon resume working toward the only thing that matters.

“We take pride but our journey is not done,” said freshman forward Trey Lyles, who had 14 points and six rebounds for Kentucky. “We have a lot of work to do and we only have two guaranteed games left in our season, so we have to make sure we go out there and play hard and together.

“It just shows how great these guys are on the team, how much we care for one another and how

Kentucky’s Trey Lyles (41) shoots while pressured by Florida’s Dorian Finney-Smith (10) during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Saturday, in Lexington, Ky. much we want to win.”

Lyles, who missed last month’s matchup in Gainesville with strep throat, was essential in getting the Wildcats started toward history with 10 first-half points. Karl-Anthony Towns added 13 points, nine rebounds, six blocks and three assists for the Wildcats (31-0, 18-0 SEC).

Of Lyles, Towns said, “today is just another showing of how great he is.”

Aaron Harrison added nine points while Willie Cauley-Stein and Andrew Harrison each had eight for Kentucky, which shot 47 percent and outrebounded the Gators 31-26.

Cauley-Stein had seven rebounds on the night.

Kentucky was in charge for the most part but took control after Devin Booker’s 3-pointer with 10:16 left made it 47-41. The Wildcats’ 20-9 run after that sealed its accomplishment, and a blue-clad sellout crowd stayed long after the final horn to cheer loudly as players flashed souvenirs of their feat.

as any I have ever coached,” Boeheim said. “I think these players have done everything any and all of us could have asked them to do.”

Boeheim sent longtime assistant coach Mike Hopkins to answer questions about the game, while his players fielded questions from reporters in the visiting locker room. Hopkins said Boeheim didn’t want to have to repeatedly decline comment to questions about the NCAA case.

The school had previously announced a one-year postseason ban amid the

ongoing case, meaning the trip to Raleigh would end Boeheim’s 39th season and keep the Orange out of next week’s ACC tournament in Greensboro.

The NCAA wrapped things up Friday by hitting the school with penalties for academic, drug and gifts violations committed primarily by the men’s basketball team. While the school faces financial penalties, scholarship reductions and five years of probation, Boeheim himself received a nine-game suspension for next year to be served during ACC games.

Boeheim’s statement didn’t address his future, saying only that he would have no comment “as I consider my options moving forward.”

“I want to make sure today, as we play our last game and are together for (the) last time as (a) team, that the focus is on our players and all they have done to make our university proud,” Boeheim said. “This should be the focus this afternoon and nothing else.”

Still, his players may have felt the weight of Friday’s news.

Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim coaches final game of the season after NCAA ruling, skips out on postgame press conference RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Syracuse Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim still hasn’t spoken publicly since the NCAA hit the school and his program with penalties for decade-long violations.

Boeheim skipped the postgame news conference after Saturday’s 71-57 season-ending loss at North Carolina State. He instead issued a statement — as he did Friday after the NCAA announced its ruling — saying he would “more fully comment” on NCAA issues in the future and wanted the focus on his players.

“I’m as proud of this team

first said the issues weren’t a distraction and that he tried to focus on what he could control on the court.

Later, though, when asked whether it affected the team Saturday, Gbinije paused.

“Maybe, maybe,” he said.

“It’s tough, it’s not easy to go out and play with the news and everything.

But I don’t think that’s an excuse of why we lost. I thought N.C. State just flat out played better than us tonight.”

It might have been easier playing at home in the Carrier Dome. Instead, N.C. State fans were eager to

greet Syracuse with reminders of the NCAA troubles.

Many stopped their “Wolf!

Pack!” chant during Syracuse’s starting lineups long enough to strongly boo Boeheim.

Others sang the chorus from the Village People’s song “YMCA” during Syracuse’s early possessions. It was a reference to some of the violations outlined by the NCAA, notably that a booster had provided more than $8,000 in cash to three football and two men’s basketball players for volunteering at a local YMCA.

Holmes gets an ace, 4 straight birdies to expand lead at Doral DORAL, Fla. (AP) — J.B. Holmes and Dustin Johnson made aces on the same hole about 20 minutes apart Saturday at Doral, both with a 7-iron from 207 yards and with a shot that reacted almost identically when it landed in the middle of the green and rolled up the slope and into the cup.

Both pounded one 300yard drive after another on a course where length is a huge advantage. And for a brief moment, they were separated by one shot.

The difference turned out to be the shortest club in the bag.

Holmes found his groove with the putter late in the round that carried him to four straight birdies and expanded his lead in the Cadillac Championship.

Even with a bogey on the final hole at Trump National Doral, he had a 2-under 70 and was five shots clear of Johnson (69) and Masters champion Bubba Watson (70).

“All you can really ask for is a chance to win on Sunday on the back nine,” Holmes said.

On a day of two aces, five other eagles on par 4s and even a scuba driver retrieving the 3-iron that Rory McIlroy heaved into the lake the day before, Holmes took some of the drama out of Doral with his late surge.

The last time aces were recorded on the same hole in the same round on the PGA Tour was at Liberty National in 2013 at The Barclays. That was K.J. Choi and Greg Chalmers, and neither was in contention. This was different.

“Pushed it just a hair right,” Johnson said about his hole-in-one on the fourth hole.

“I usually hit a little bit of a cut, and if I hit it perfect, it would stay straight,” Holmes said. “And it did.”

What separated them was the finish. Johnson converted a birdie on the 16th hole to pull within one shot of Holmes, who was struggling. He made his second bogey on a par 5 when he pushed his tee shot into a hazard at No. 12. He had to scramble from a bunker to save par on the 13th. But moments after Johnson made his birdie, Holmes poured in a 12-foot birdie putt on the 14th, the first of four in a row.

Three of those birdies were from 12 feet. The other was an up-and-down from the back bunker on the 301-yard 16th hole.

He ended with a bogey

Below: Dustin Johnson hits from the 11th fairway during the third round of the Cadillac Championship golf tournament Saturday. from the palm trees and fell back to 11-under 205. He still had a five-shot lead, and a chance to become the first player to lead wire-to-wire without ties at Doral since Andy Bean in 1977.

“If he keeps driving it, he’s tough to beat,” Ryan Moore said after salvaging a 74 to finish six shots behind. “He’s hitting it long and straight and he’s got clubs in holes that I can only dream of having. As long as he hits it straight in the fairway, he’s obviously got a huge advantage around here.”

It’s not a coincidence that Holmes, Watson and Johnson are in the top three in driving distance this week. Watson managed five birdies, the last one from the back bunker on the daunting closing hole at the Blue Monster. It was his second straight day holing a bunker shot.

“I can’t worry about what J.B. is doing,” Watson said.

“This golf course is hard enough as it is. If I start worrying about other people, I’m going to lose it.”

Bill Haas had the low score of the third round, making eight birdies for a 65. He was tied for fifth with Louis Oosthuizen (67) and Henrik Stenson (72), though they were seven shots behind.

McIlroy provided the highlight of this tournament by slinging his 3-iron into the water left of the par-5 eighth hole Friday after a shot into the lake.

He opted to play with only 13 clubs in the third round, but back-to-back

bogeys on the front nine and back nine kept him from making a move. He had a 72 and was 10 shots behind.

He wasn’t aware of the diver that fished out his 3-iron. He wasn’t aware of Holmes and Johnson making aces, either?

“No way,” McIlroy said.

“That’s why I’m not leading the tournament.”

Watson might have had the best view.

He was on the third green when he heard the roar and saw Johnson raise both arms after his 7-iron went in. Then, Watson was heading down the fifth fairway when he heard another road and saw Holmes doing a jig on the tee box.

“Maybe one of us should have made a hole-in-one instead of skip a group,” he said.

There was plenty of action elsewhere. Luke Donald and Oosthuizen holed bunker shots for eagle on the 16th. Rickie Fowler dunked one from the 11th fairway for eagle.

There were 10 eagles in the third round, only three of them on a par 5.

Most satisfying to Holmes was having a five-shot lead going into the final round.

He had the lead, and figured pars would be enough to keep it.

“You want to make some birdies, but I definitely wasn’t planning on making four,” Holmes said.

and Osmani/Lewis at No. 1 doubles.

The young Roswell boys and the equally young Lady Colts each finished sixth, and both coaches were proud of their teams’ efforts.

“We had a couple of wins again today, in doubles in the consolation brackets,” Reeves said. “I don’t think we got a place in the top one, two or three, but they improved. And to see the girls run over to me and coach Mac, ‘We won!

We won!’ it’s exciting to see them get involved.”

“They did really well,” McDonald said. “They did really well. We got two thirds and consolation, so we’re happy with that.”

Brighton Pope and Clayne Williams got third at No. 1 doubles and got points from Pope, Gilbert Moreno, Williams and Mitchel Latimer in singles and Moreno/Sanchez in doubles.

Jim Harbaugh becomes Oakland A’s coach for a day

AP Photo

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh waves to fans as he walks towards the dugout during batting practice before a spring training baseball game between the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels, Saturday, in Mesa, Ariz.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — The Oakland A’s added a new coach to their roster on Saturday. Might’ve heard of him — Jim Harbaugh.

The former coach of the San Francisco 49ers and new coach at Michigan appeared in full uniform Saturday, including high socks, for the A’s. He was expected to coach first base for an inning or two against the Los Angeles Angels at HoHoKam Stadium.

Harbaugh wore No. 4, the number used while playing in the NFL. He grew up in Palo Alto, California, and played on the same American Legion team as A’s manager Bob Melvin, although it was a few years after Melvin.

“Let’s play two, as Ernie Banks would say,” said Harbaugh outside the A’s dugout during pregame workouts.

They resumed their relationship after Melvin became A’s manager in 2011. Harbaugh invited Melvin onto the 49ers sideline for several NFL games.

“He’s an inspiration just walking out here. He’s got that air about him,” Melvin said. “Jim has got that work ethic. After he left the 49ers, he was in Michigan the next day recruiting. We

asked him if he would (join the A’s) and he talked his wife into coming out.”

Harbaugh spoke to Melvin’s players briefly before they took the field.

“He’s a very good speaker to his teams. I stole a bit of his material from time to time,” said Melvin, who added Harbaugh requested the high socks.

Harbaugh was a pitcher, shortstop and catcher in youth leagues, and said he felt he did the best as a catcher. He called himself a “mediocre” hitter and watched a video from former hitting guru Charlie Lau, “but I couldn’t get the ball out of the infield.”

Harbaugh said his father had a friendship with former Detroit Tigers pinch-hitter Gates Brown.

Jack Harbaugh, a longtime football coach, and Brown grew up in Crestline, Ohio.

Brown died in 2013.

“My first experience with the major leagues was going into the Detroit Tigers clubhouse and then going for a hamburger afterward. I got to see guys like Al Kaline, Ed Brinkman, Lou Whitaker. I was like 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 when I went,” said the 51-year-old Harbaugh.

Rangers’ Yu Darvish might need Tommy John surgery

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers had hoped the tightness felt by the threetime All-Star in his triceps during his spring training debut was nothing to be concerned about.

Instead, an MRI exam late Friday revealed just about the worst news possible.

Darvish has partially torn ligaments in addition to inflammation in his troublesome right elbow, and might need Tommy John surgery. It’s another massive blow for a suddenly snake-bit franchise that struggled through a rash of devastating injuries last season.

“Not going to sugarcoat it, it’s not the news that we wanted,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.

“You basically have two choices: You can hang your head and kind of dwell on it or you can do everything you can to get him the right care and get him back.”

Just exactly what care that is had yet to be determined.

Darvish could try to pitch through the injury, rest it for six weeks and then try to rebuild his stamina, or undergo surgery that would end his season before it begins.

That decision will be made after he visits Dr. David Altchek, the Mets’ team physician and an expert in Tommy John surgery, on Tuesday in New York.

“The concern with the first two options is, are you

Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish throws in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals during a spring training baseball game Thursday, in Surprise, Ariz. delaying the inevitable?” he said. “It’s not black and white. ... There’s no guarantees with any course.”

Darvish was shut down for the final seven weeks last season with inflammation in the same elbow. He underwent an MRI exam around Thanksgiving that came back clean, and had not experienced any trouble in workouts and bullpen sessions.

He first felt tightness while warming up in the bullpen before Thursday’s game against Kansas City, but did not inform anyone before taking the mound.

He threw 12 pitches in his only inning, and then informed the Rangers staff of some pain.

Still, he said afterward through a translator that he did not think it was serious.

“I will be disappointed if I have to miss this season, but I want to look at all the options including getting a second opinion before I make a final decision,” Darvish said in a statement Saturday. “My heart is with my teammates and our focus remains on accomplishing our goals.”

Darvish will remain at camp while a second surgeon studies the MRI

exam results. If surgery is required, it would likely happen in the next couple of weeks.

That could give Darvish enough time to fully recover before the start of next season.

“Given the news, he’s handled it extremely well,” Daniels said. “He’s very pragmatic about it. He’s talking to the people he’s close to before making a

decision.”

The news is a significant blow to the Rangers, who already are minus prized young infielder Jurickson Profar. He missed last year with a shoulder injury, and recently had shoulder surgery again that might sideline him for the season.

Texas went through a devastating series of injuries last year, too. In the starting rotation alone, it lost Tanner Scheppers, Matt Harrison and Martin Perez to injuries by the middle of May. They also lost lineup mainstays Prince Fielder, Mitch Moreland and Shin-Soo Choo for long periods of time.

Ultimately, the club set a record for most players on a 25-man roster in a single season, and needed 40 pitchers to get through 162 games — three of them position players. The rotation alone required 14 different pitchers, nobody making more than 25 starts.

Darvish was limited to 22 starts between neck stiffness that caused him to miss the beginning of the season and elbow inflammation that caused him to be shut down late in the season.

“I’m personally not taking the position, ‘Here we go again,’” Daniels said. “Any time you have an injury there is risk for recurrence down the line. What we’re seeing is effectively an extension of what he dealt with last summer, at a significantly more severe level.”

Lightning rally in 3rd to beat Stars 5-4 Gateway Christian TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Dallas Stars didn’t take advantage of Tyler Seguin’s quick return from an injury.

Alex Killorn and Victor Hedman scored early third-period goals, and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied to beat the Stars 5-4 on Saturday night.

Seguin scored two goals in his return after missing 10 games due to a sprained right knee. He was hurt on a hit by Florida defenseman Dmitry Kulikov on Feb. 13 and was first expected to miss four-to-six weeks.

“It felt more comfortable as the game went on,” Seguin said. “Ten games is a long time in this league, or feels like a long time.”

Dallas has lost eight times (21-3-5) when leading going into the third period.

“We give away wins and we did it again,” Seguin said. “It’s on all of us. Can’t make excuses for it.”

After Killorn scored from the low slot at 3:40, Hedman gave Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead 1:51 later. It was just the second time this season the Lightning have won when trailing after two periods (2-18-2).

“Once you put a few shifts together you can start feeling the momentum shift,” Killorn said.

Anton Stralman, Nikita Kucherov and Brian Boyle had the other Lightning goals. Ondrej Palat had three assists to help Tampa Bay set a franchise record with its 26th home win.

“It’s pretty cool,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

Vernon Fiddler also scored twice for Dallas.

Dallas took its first lead at 3-2 on Fiddler’s redirection of Alex Goligoski’s shot with 8:57 to go in the second.

John Klingberg stole the puck and then extended his assist streak to four games by setting up Seguin’s second goal and 31st of the season. His shot from the slot pulled the Stars even at 2 at 3:52 of the second.

Gateway Christian Academy came up just short in the first round of the New Mexico Boys Class 2A state basketball tournament Saturday night, as the Warriors were edged 56-52 by Mora at Mora High School.

In a game that was close the entire way, Gateway just couldn’t make the plays necessary at the end to advance.

“We had a game that was very, very tight the whole way,” said Gateway coach John Worrall.

After the two sides played to an 18-18 stalemate in the first quarter, the Warriors were able to pick up some momentum in the second – outscoring the Rangers 10-6 to take a four-point lead into the half.

But Mora was able to take advantage of Gateway in the third quarter when the Warriors ran into foul trouble.

The Rangers outscored Gateway 21-12 in the third,

which proved to be the difference on the night as the teams each scored 12 in the final frame.

“We chipped away and it went down to the last minute,” Worrall said. “It was a heck of a game. It was a lot of fun. It was a good game.”

Johnny Worrall finished with yet another double-double with 16 points and a game-high 26 rebounds for Gateway.

Timmy Schultz also had 16 points on the night, while senior big man Connor Olguin had a double-double of his own with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Scooby Taylor added 7 for the Warriors.

Despite the early exit from the state tournament, coach Worrall was able to focus on the numerous positives this season has held for his Warriors.

“We were happy with the effort all season,” Worrall said. “We’ve got a lot to build on – we’ll be returning 11 of our 13 players next year so it should be good.”

March Madness arrives as upsets rule college hoops Saturday

Mathiang lifts No. 16 Louisville past No. 2 Virginia, 59-57

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Down a point with the clock running out, No. 16 Louisville had no choice but to trust Mangok Mathiang’s jump shot. And hope.

The sophomore center’s 15-footer with 2.7 seconds was true, giving the Cardinals the lead and an unlikely hero a 59-57 victory over No. 2 Virginia on Saturday night.

After Malcolm Brogdon hit his fourth 3 of the half to give Virginia a 57-56 lead with 13 second left, the Cardinals ran a play hoping to set up one of its two stars, guard Terry Rozier or forward Montrezl Harrell.

But when Rozier was double-teamed he found Mathiang open at the free throw line for the winner and his only points of the game.

“Mangok was the 64th option,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino quipped.

It was Mathiang’s second field goal since Jan.

31. Scoring less than three points a game and known more for his high energy than offensive prowess, Pitino said Mathiang has spent the past two months practicing that shot after teams have increasingly left him open.

“That shot was good from the moment it left his hand,” Pitino said. “I’m really happy for him because he put in the work.”

Even Mathiang was surprised.

“I was just shocked that I made it,” Mathiang admitted. “I was running, then Trez came and hugged me and everybody was around me. This is a real big deal.”

A big deal indeed. Louisville (24-7, 12-6) snapped Virginia’s nine-game winning streak and its perfect road record. The win clinched fourth place in the conference for the Cardinals, earning them a spot in the quarterfinals to start

the ACC tournament.

“We wanted to get this double-bye,” Pitino said.

Virginia (28-2, 16-2) didn’t seem fazed by the way they played the game’s critical moment.

“I don’t want to say I expected him to not make, but I was OK with the way we defended that possession,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said.

Guard London Perrantes was even more direct in his assessment.

“I’d let him shoot it 10 times out of 10,” said Perrantes, who finished with seven points but four of the Cavaliers’ 13 turnovers.

Harrell had 20 points and 12 rebounds in his last home game for Louisville.

Rozier and Quentin Snider each added 11 points for the Cardinals.

Brogdon scored 16 of his 17 points in the second half for regular-season conference champion Virginia.

Hield’s tip-in gives No. 15 Oklahoma win over No. 9 Kansas

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Buddy Hield struggled the entire game, then made up for it all with one spectacular play.

His tip-in with 0.2 seconds left gave No. 15 Oklahoma a 75-73 victory over No. 9 Kansas on Saturday.

Hield got up high above the rim and got both hands on Jordan Woodard’s missed layup.

“Coach (Lon Kruger) always said the second shot will be the one to kill you,” Hield said. “I know the second shot was going to kill them (Kansas). I’m always going to the glass, every time. It’s a habit I have. It’s paid off a lot for me.”

The play went almost as planned.

“We wanted to get it to Jordan and set a ball screen for him at midcourt and let him get to the

paint,” Kruger said. “He did a great job of getting to the rim, and that kind of triggered the opportunity.

Buddy did a really good job to finish.”

Hield made just 6 of 20 shots, but he finished with 18 points and seven rebounds to help the Sooners (21-9, 12-6 Big 12) clinch at least a tie for second in the conference.

Isaiah Cousins added 16 points, TaShawn Thomas had 13, and Ryan Spangler finished with nine points and 11 rebounds for Oklahoma.

Nigel Williams-Goss leads Washington over No. 13 Utah in shocker

SEATTLE (AP) — From winning its first 11 games to being ranked in the Top 15, to dismissing its most important defensive player, to losing 10 of 11, Washington’s perplexing season added another unlikely chapter on Saturday.

Of all those events, beating No. 13 Utah might be the most surprising.

“Today was fun to watch from a coach’s perspective because we played right for 40 minutes on both ends of the floor,” Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said.

Nigel Williams-Goss scored 28 points, including a deep 3-pointer with 1:08 remaining as the shot clock was about to expire, and Washington rallied to stun the 13th-ranked Utes 77-68.

The Huskies played an inspired final game of the regular season, putting together an effort that was consistent only in rare spurts during the conference season. Williams-Goss received plenty of help.

Andrew Andrews had 16 points and Mike Anderson added 15 in his final home game.

Washington (16-14, 5-13 Pac-12) was 15-4 after winning at Colorado on Jan. 22, and appeared bound for the NCAA Tournament.

The Huskies proceeded to lose their next seven games and 10 of 11 as injuries and player discipline left the Huskies short-handed.

Included in that skid was a 21-point loss to the Utes in Salt Lake City.

For at least an afternoon, that troubling six-week stretch where the Huskies tumbled to near the bottom of the Pac-12 standings was forgotten.

“I think from the start, I

thought we came out and played with a lot of energy, a lot of confidence,” Williams-Goss said.

Jernard Jarreau scored a career-high 14 for Washington including three 3-pointers, after entering the game with two 3s in his career.

Utah (23-7, 13-5) lost for the third time in five games and will now be the No. 3 seed for next week’s Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas after finishing in a tie with Oregon. Delon Wright led the Utes with 21 points.

Jakob Poeltl of the Utes had 18 points, but was held to three in the second half.

Poeltl was 7 of 7 from the field in the first half but was taken out of the game by Washington in the final 20 minutes.

The loss dropped Utah into a tie with Oregon but the Utes lost the head-tohead tiebreaker having lost to the Ducks in their only regular season meeting.

“We lost some pride and hopefully it’s a nice little wake up call for a bunch of guys that have been drinking some Kool-Aid that think we’re a lot better than we are,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “We’re making the game way too complicated.”

On the verge of watching Utah run away, the Huskies surged into the lead midway through the second half behind a 22-8 run. Washington pulled even at 45 on Anderson’s driving layup and his two free throws on the next possession gave Washington its first lead since 30-29 late in the first half. Utah went more than 6 minutes without scoring before Dakarai Tucker’s fastbreak layup off a Washington turnover with 9:11 left.

because of an ongoing NCAA investigation.

Frank Mason III tied a season high with 21 points for Kansas (24-7, 13-5).

Landen Lucas had career highs of 13 points and 12 rebounds and Kelly Oubre Jr., added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Jayhawks.

Kansas coach Bill Self was proud of the way his short-handed team played.

“That was a good effort by us,” he said. “There was no one out there laying down. We just got beat.”

Kansas had already clinched the conference’s regular-season title. Self said the Jayhawks were still motivated.

“I talked to the guys about this being a statement game,” he said. “You won the league. Now, go out and put some separation between us and the second-place team.”

lar meeting became heated at times, with Conner questioning the procedure for the purchase of fuel, as well as questioning the actions of the county’s policy committee.

Conner was vocal about a holiday pay policy, as well as a requirement for county employees to submit receipts for fuel purchased on county credit cards.

The pay scale issue was put to rest — at least until budget workshops begin this spring by a unanimous vote. A motion by Commissioner Becky Harris to deny Conner’s request for the new pay scale ended the discussion, which had also occurred at three previous meetings.

“We talked several times about this and it’s on the agenda for a vote either for or against,” Conner said of the pay issue. He said the pay hikes depend on experience and that the increases needed to be considered.

Regional Roundup Burglars take school computers; juvenile caught

ESPANOLA — When San Juan Elementary Principal Felix Garcia entered his office at 7:30 a.m. Feb. 23, he sensed something was amiss.

“I walked into my office and I noticed that my closet doors were open and I thought somebody in my staff had been in my office,” he said. It wasn’t his staff, but rather, burglars who broke into the school over the weekend.

Although Garcia said school staff and faculty are still doing an inventory of all their classroom materials to figure out what is missing, eight laptops were missing in one of the classrooms.

The burglary happened Feb. 22, but Garcia wasn’t able to report it to Ohkay Owingeh Police until 7:38 a.m. the next day, dispatch logs state. Garcia said nobody alerted him and the school does not have a security alarm, so he didn’t find out about the incident until classes resumed.

Tribal police forwarded the case to the Rio Arriba County Sheriff’s Office because the incident happened at a public school.

Later in the day, Sheriff’s deputies received an anonymous tip from an Ohkay Owingeh caller regarding the identity of the burglar, Lt. Randy Sanches said.

Consequently, the Office returned the incident to tribal police.

Tribal police located the burglar, a juvenile, at an Ohkay Owingeh residence, Sanches said. Sanches knows tribal police got the juvenile to confess to the crime and surrender the stolen items to police.

He said he is unaware of the identity of the juvenile, the whereabouts of the items and whether tribal police made any arrests because the Sheriff’s office didn’t handle the rest of the incident.

Hold Harmless repeal could shut down facilities

SILVER CITY — Complete closure of the town’s library and museum are the likely end result of a budget shortage looming in Silver City, according to Town Manager Alex Brown.

The coming shortfall is related to the state’s 2013 repeal of Hold Harmless payments, and a legislative fix is the only plausible solution that will prevent

the town from cutting some services down the road.

Brown said those service cuts would include the Silver City Public Library and the Silver City Museum.

“That would be the two departments I would have to cut — and completely eliminate — to maintain our police, fire and other services as they are,” he said.

However, any legislative fix will be an uphill battle, especially since one of the legislators representing Silver City thinks it’s unnecessary.

Rep. John Zimmerman, who is serving his first term in the New Mexico House, said the budget shortfall has been a possibility for years, and is something the town should have planned for.

“My take on this is, we knew this was coming a long time ago, and we failed to recognize it,” he said, “and we should have been addressing this a long time ago.

“For whatever reason, we didn’t.”

Hold Harmless compensated municipalities for revenue lost when the New Mexico Legislature repealed gross receipts taxes on food and medical services in 2003. But this year, the state began phasing out those reimbursements. Silver City will lose tens of thousands of dollars every year for the next 15 years, eventually approaching a budget shortfall of about $650,000.

County judge ousted, banned from bench for life

ESPANOLA — A former Rio Arriba County judge, who is accused of racking up several infractions that include representing clients in district court while sitting on the bench, agreed

to never again seek a judicial seat.

The New Mexico Supreme Court accepted a Judicial Standards Commission stipulation that permanently bans ousted Rio Arriba County magistrate judge Rudy Martin from seeking any judicial office.

The agreement came after a several-month investigation revealed the disgraced judge entered an order of appearance and represented a client in front of former district court judge Sherri Raphaelson, July 22, 2014.

Martin, 62, is also accused of failing to withdraw from 15 additional cases, accepting a guilty plea from a minor and sentencing him to six months unsupervised probation and failing to provide an interpreter for a Spanish-speaking client and instead conducted the proceedings entirely in Spanish, according the Stipulation the New Mexico Judicial Standards Commission drafted.

Theater project gets state funds, plan fundraiser

LOVINGTON — The Lea Theater is getting closer to completion now that $100,000 in state money will be disbursed and a fundraiser will be set up for May. The event planned would be a gala-type event with a wine tasting, silent auction and dining.

“Our plan is to raise $150,000,” said Lea County Foundation of the Arts Director Connie Sevier. “We contacted the Cottonwood Winery in Artesia and they were more than happy to contribute to this without cost to us. We will have commemorative wine glasses for those that purchase tickets for the events.”

City manager James Williams said that although the city bans alcohol in city-owned buildings, since the theater is leased to the foundation, no policy infractions would be caused by the event.

Sevier also said there would be auctions of unique movie posters that the foundation would ask the highest bidder to donate back to the theater to display with a plaque commemorating the donor.

Sevier said it will cost about $250,000 to get the theater fully operational.

The long-term goal would be to transform the Lea Theatre into a multi-purpose performing arts theater capable of offering theater performances, concerts, variety shows, community events, etc. when it is not showing first run movies.

Lawsuit alleging mistreatment settled in court

SANTA FE –A New Mexico man allegedly kept in filthy solitary confinement conditions and reportedly was denied proper health care has settled his federal lawsuit.

A lawyer for 51-yearold Jerome Gonzales announced Feb. 25 that his client settled his lawsuit with Otero County for $2.9 million. Attorney Matthew Coyte said Gonzales suffered from mental illness and was not given proper treatment while in the southern New Mexico county jail.

According to the lawsuit, Gonzales was placed in solitary confinement in February 2012 following an arrest for driving with a suspended license. Court documents say county officials let Gonzales’ mental state deteriorate to a point that Gonzales would strip naked and cover himself in feces.

There was no immediate response from Otero County officials.

EDGEWOOD — Despite one dissenting vote, the Edgewood Town Council approved the appointment of Kay Davis-McGill to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

McGill was town administrator for two years and retired in December.

Mayor Brad Hill asked for the appointment. Councilor John Abrams asked if there was any problem with her having “ex parte” communications with any applicants because of her role as administrator.

McGill, who was in the audience, said she would excuse herself from proceedings if she had.

Abrams said he had no doubt that McGill was qualified, but he voted no because he felt it was too soon after employment and it may “encumber the town.” Councilors Sherry Abraham and Chuck Ring voted in favor; councilor Rita Loy Simmons was

Obesity in state on the decline, analysis reveals

New data analyzed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed a slight decrease in the prevalence of self-reported obesity among New Mexico adults in 2013 over the year before.

New Mexico is one of only 14 U.S. States and territories to report a decrease.

The data came from the most recent Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System annual survey, a state-based phone survey that collects health information from approximately 400,000 adults aged 18 years and older. The survey collects data in all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

The data showed a 0.7 percentage point decrease in the rate of all adults reporting themselves to be obese in New Mexico last year over the same survey conducted in 2012.

“The new numbers are the latest in a growing body of evidence showing encouraging news about our state’s effort to reduce the number of obese residents,” said Department of Health Cabinet Secretary Retta Ward, MPH. “There is no question we are moving in the right direction, but there’s also no question we have much more work to do.”

New Mexico is one of the few U.S. States consistently showing signs of stabilizing after years of dramatic increase in obesity in the country between the years of 1990 to 2010.

Biden fights for equal rights WASHINGTON (AP) — Gays and lesbians are fighting for the same equal rights that African-Americans fought for decades ago, Vice President Joe Biden said Friday, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the historic march in Selma, Alabama.

As more want local beef, fewer want the tough job of cutting it

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Kent Weise loves his work, but after 38 years slaughtering cattle, lugging carcasses that can weigh more than 1,000 pounds and slowly, methodically slicing cuts of meat, he understands why few people want to go into the business anymore.

“It’s killing cows. It’s blood and guts,” said Weise, who runs a small meat company here with his wife, and whose own three children have no interest in following in his footsteps.

Demand for locally produced beef is surging as n e v e r b e fo r e , b u t t h e butchers who for generations have prepared and sold meat to customers and markets are a dwindling profession.

Thousands of butchers are approaching retirement age across the country.

And owners of small meat companies tell similar stories about the difficulty finding younger people willing to take over, or even to work in the businesses. Farmers with small operations now often have to truck their cattle 50 or 100 miles to be processed. Higher transportation costs are being passed along to customers at farmers markets, restaurants and groceries that specialize in

Amend Packing Company owner Kent Weise butchers beef, Feb. 17, in Des Moines, Iowa. Demand for local beef is surging but people who slaughter cattle and slice the beef into steaks say few people want to go into the business.

Nationally, there were 1,200 federally inspected livestock slaughterhouses in the U.S. in 1990. By 2010 the number had dropped to 800. locally grown meat.

Weise, 58, dressed in a blood-smeared white jacket as he cuts fat from a slab of beef, says that when he retires, his busi-

ness likely will close.

Meat-cutting businesses have been sprinkled across the country for generations. In 1990, there were 1,200 feder-

ally inspected livestock slaughterhouses in the U.S., but by 2010 the number had dropped to 800. State-licensed operations have also declined.

In Iowa, there now are 140 or fewer small meat processors, compared to about 450 in the 1960s, said Marcia Richmann, executive director of Iowa Meat Processors Association.

With purchases of natural, organic and grass-fed beef up 20 percent over a two-decade period, the gap between demand for meat and butchers to process it may only grow.

An analysis in Minnesota showed about twothirds of the people who own small meat-processing businesses in the state are nearing retirement age, with no succession plan.

The butchers and small processors who are still in business are swamped with demand.

“We’re booked like four to five months in advance,” said Mike Jessee, who owns Dee-Jays Custom Butchering in Fredericktown, Ohio.

Meanwhile, “finding anyone to help to work is harder and harder.”

Many processors said they began the work soon after high school. The job was hard but dependSee BUTCHERS, Page B8

Clinton’s emails: Secrets, security and legal issues

WASHINGTON (AP) — Once again, Hillary Rodham Clinton did it her way, and it could cost her.

Clinton’s decision to eschew government email and use her own private server as secretary of state is raising questions about secrecy, security and the law — including whether she might have deleted important messages tapped into her ever-present BlackBerry instead of preserving them for public scrutiny and history.

At the least, the controversy is a bump on her unprecedented path from first lady to presumed presidential contender.

What we know so far:

What’s different about Clinton’s email?

She did all her official work as the nation’s top diplomat using a personal email account. Federal officials are generally expected to use their agencies’ email systems — the kind of addresses that have “.gov” at the end.

Clinton didn’t use a commercial email server, like Google operates for Gmail, either. She had her own email server, traced to her hometown in Chappaqua, New York. The address: hdr22@clintonemail.com.

Prior secretaries of state also used nongovernment email for work at times, or avoided using email much at all. Indeed, the State Department says the current secretary, John Kerry, is the first to have an official “@state.gov” address like other employees use routinely.

The volume of the Clinton documents — she’s turned over 55,000 pages — makes her use of personal email more striking.

Is something wrong with what she did? It raises two opposing sets of questions: — Was Clinton’s email too secret?

A private account could have allowed her to withhold or destroy messages that she’s legally required to turn over for congressional investigations or lawsuits or to make available to the public, the press and historians under open-records law.

— Was Clinton’s email too exposed?

A private email server may have left her sensitive government communications more vulnerable to people who shouldn’t see them, such as hackers and spies, because it lacked the heavy security of government accounts.

The answers are fuzzy.

Clinton says she’s turned over all relevant emails to the State Department. The House committee investigating the deadly attack on a diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, has issued subpoenas seeking messages that might not have been divulged.

Clinton hasn’t released any information about her email server and its security features. Private email servers are generally not as reliable or secure as those used by the government or in commercial data centers.

Clinton aides and the State Department both say she never received or transmitted classified information on her private account.

Did Clinton break law?

That’s to be determined.

Her aides say no.

Her use of private email appears to conflict with the spirit of Barack Obama’s pledge to make his presidency the most open ever.

She stands out even in an administration that has been criticized as failing to live up to that promise.

However, Obama didn’t sign a law requiring the archiving of officials’ emails, including those on private accounts, until last November. Clinton left the State Department two years ago.

Even back when she was in office, according to the White House, it was administration policy for officials to conduct their work on government email accounts. If their work strayed into personal emails, officials were responsible for making sure those messages were preserved for history.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest says the vast majority of administration staffers work on government accounts, which should assure their emails are preserved automatically.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill says much of her messaging was email back and forth with her State Department advisers on their government email, so the correspondence was retained on their end. Still, her emails to or from people outside the U.S. government — foreign officials, for example — would not be captured in that way.

After the new law was signed last year, the State Department asked Clinton and other former secretaries of state for email records that should be preserved. That’s when Clinton turned over the 55,000 pages.

Earnest said that if Clinton did in fact collect all of her personal email that was related to her official government work and turn it over, “that would be consistent with the Federal Records Act. And that’s the president’s expectation.”

Yet only Clinton and her aides decided what to turn over.

That leaves congressional investigators and others to wonder if she might be holding back things the public has a right to see about Benghazi or other topics.

Was State Department policy clear?

Clinton’s own office instructed State Department employees to avoid doing work by personal email.

A June 2011 cable to employees warned that “online adversaries” were targeting personal accounts of department employees.

The department now says those instructions concerned emails containing sensitive but unclassified information, such as personal information about employees or members of the public, business secrets or asylum applications.

The issue came up again in a 2012 inspector general’s report.

The report advised that reliance on “unauthorized information systems increases the risk for data loss, phishing and spoofing of email accounts,” as well as the loss of public records. The report criticized Scott Gration, then ambassador to Kenya, for using an outside email system, among several other problems under his leadership. He resigned.

What’s next?

The State Department will review the mountain of Clinton emails for possible public release and for any security breaches. The process could take months, pushing the matter deeper into the 2016 presidential campaign. In a tweet this week, Clinton said she wanted the department to make her emails public as soon as possible.

Congressional Republicans will keep pressing for emails that might shed light on Benghazi or other controversies, with Clinton’s potential presidential rivals surely paying rapt attention.

The State Department is already under pressure to produce information under the nation’s open records law. It’s juggling nearly 11,000 pending requests for various emails, includ-

ing more than 75 requests for Clinton material filed from 2009 to 2013 by media organizations and others. Associated Press requests for Clinton emails and other documents have been delayed for more than a year; in one instance, four years.

Will this be a presidential campaign issue?

It seems likely to linger into 2016. The story fits with critics’ longstanding portrayal of Clinton as secretive and operating above the rules.

For example, it recalls the mystery of the missing Rose Law Firm records during the presidency of her husband, Bill Clinton.

The billing records for some of her work as a lawyer in Arkansas were subpoenaed in the investigation of the Clintons’ Whitewater land deal. The papers were missing for nearly two years before the Clintons said they had unexpectedly turned up in a storage area in the residential portion of the White House.

Clinton was called to testify about the billing records before a federal grand jury — an inauspicious first for a first lady.

Her name also was sometimes caught up in the ethics and legal controversies during the Clinton presidency that culminated in Bill Clinton’s impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Recently, she has also faced questions about her family’s charitable foundation taking money from foreign governments while she was running the State Department.

What about potential foes’ emails?

Jeb Bush, expected to seek the presidency on the Republican side, also used a personal email account — jeb@jeb.org — on a personal server, while he was Florida governor.

Florida’s public records law is among the nation’s strongest. Bush was required to turn over emails related to his work as governor from 1999 to 2007 to the state archives, making them public.

In a show of transparency, Bush obtained those emails from the archivist and posted more than 275,000 online at jebemails.com last month.

In an example of how tricky public records issues can be, the vast email cache made public included some Floridians’ birthdays and Social Security numbers. A spokeswoman said people’s private information was removed from the website after it was discovered.

But like Clinton, Bush did not turn over what he determined to be personal messages on his account.

Democrats are raising the same questions about Bush that are being asked of Clinton: How can the public be sure that he turned over all relevant emails from his time in office?

Though Bush has taken a couple of swipes at Clinton over her emails, criticism from Republican presidential hopefuls has been muted so far, perhaps because it is a sensitive issue for several of them.

Email from Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, for example, has become part of criminal investigations.

Who has their own email server, anyway?

Anybody could, but it’s a pretty geeky pursuit.

A private server doesn’t take a lot of room or a special power source. It could be the size of your desktop computer and sit unobtrusively in your home.

able. Meat-cutters made a median of $13.75 an hour in 2012, according to federal data, but owners of small meat-cutting businesses can make significantly more.

“It’s all I know what to do,” said Weise.

There is plenty to keep him busy.

Working out of an 87-year-old brick building, within sight of the state Capitol’s gold dome, Weise slaughters about 15 animals a week and then hangs the carcasses to age for a couple weeks, increasing their tenderness.

On most days, he and several employees work around a table, cutting meat with knives kept razor-sharp by files that dangle from their waistbands.

There’s a little conversation as the workers, some with their sweatshirt hoods pulled up to ward off the cold, slice through the beef, toss fat

into a bin, put the meat on to a tray an d th en grab another section.

Processors say that younger people now have less grueling work options.

“Our son said, ‘Dad, I’m going to be an engineer,’ and he is an engineer,” said Richmann, who ran a meat market with her husband in Clarence, Iowa, for decades.

Lauren Gwin, a professor at Oregon State University who coordinates the Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network, said the demand for specialty meat is prompting some new businesses to open, but that getting started is costly and difficult.

“It’s a complex business,” said Gwin, whose group was formed to help overcome such issues.

“You have to know a lot of things to run a business like this.”

As businesses close, ranchers like Mike Hold-

en in Scranton, Iowa, worry they’ll need to travel farther to process their animals. Holden now trucks his cows about 80 miles to be butchered.

Would the resulting price increases be enough to scare away customers who prefer local suppliers over the larger and more distant slaughterhouses that supply supermarkets?

Kathy Davis, who buys meat for her family of six just a few miles away from her home in Collins, Iowa, said she’s not sure.

“If there was a huge price difference between the grocery store and what I paid, I might stop buying it,” she said. “I hope not, but I might have to.”

All the proceeds from the show will go toward the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Museum for general operating funds. Sons of the Pioneers has a history in Roswell through Roy Rogers, which is why they are playing.

By Rey Berrones Vision Editor The Sons of the Pioneers will be playing Pueblo Auditorium at 2 p.m., March 15.

Tickets are $20 each and are available at the Southeast New Mexico Historical Museum Office at 200 N. Lea Ave. Office hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Proceeds will benefit the Historical Society of Southeastern New Mexico.

There will also be a special historical presentation before the show at 12:30 p.m.

The presentation before the show will be about Roy Rogers.

“Roy Rogers was one of the original founding members of the Sons of the Pioneers. Before the Sons of the Pioneers, he was a performer that traveled around and his group came to Roswell more than one time,” said Tina Williams, administrative director of the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico. “They performed on live radio shows and things of that nature. One of the times, when he was here, he was doing the live show, and he put the word out over the air that he was hungry. A local girl, Arline Wilkins and her mother brought two pies to the radio station.

After they met, they started writing to each other, and about three years later they were married.”

Williams continued, “We

have had people come in to buy tickets and they would tell stories because they remember Roy Rogers. When he was here, to make extra money, he would work in the cotton fields in the area.”

Events without Rogers, Sons of the Pioneers have evolved.

“They have continued to evolve by replacing retiring individuals with musicians that step into the role that they have left. These are people that sound like them, play the instruments and completely fill the role. This has been going on since the second year of the group.,” Tom Blake, event organizer, said. “Because they have been able to do this, the writers within the core of the group have written hundreds of very popular songs.”

Sons of the Pioneers, Blake said, has been the longest running western group. Sons of the Pioneers is coming to Roswell, Blake said, because he knows one of the members.

“Tommy Nallie, a member of Sons of the Pioneers, is from Roswell and has family here. He visits Roswell frequently. Over about three years now we have been looking for an opportunity to bring him here. Finally I got a call from his agent saying that they would be playing in Alamogordo, and they wanted to try and schedule a concert here,” Blake

said. “There was not the opportunity for the city to do it, so I made a commitment with him to make sure that we had a concert.”

Blake said he ran into Williams and asked if there was any connection between Rogers and Roswell, which is when she told him the history.

“We put together the idea of making this a fundraising opportunity,” he said. “It was a perfect fit. We have a historical theater, and we have a historical show. We are going to do the whole thing up, have a history lesson, and have questions and answers within that lesson, and then have a great show. It will be a wonderful event at the Pueblo.”

It is fundraising activities like this that allow the Historical Museum to continue functioning since the museum do not get federal money.

“We aren’t owned by the city. It is memberships and donations. That is how we survive,” Williams said.

Blake added that right now, people can donate to the Historical Society and their donation will be matched with with tickets for people that can’t otherwise afford the ticket.

“Now is the time to offer your tax deductable donation to the Historical Society, and we will be happy offer equal value for the remaining tickets, to give

them to those that would not ordinarily be able to come to the show,” he said. “A lot of the people in the assisted-living facilities could use some help with tickets, so donations to the Historical Society for Southeastern New Mexico are not only tax deductable, but they also offer a chance for a person that could not afford tickets to come to the show.

We are offering tickets as a gift for that donation. The show is about raising money for the Historical Society and protecting the archives that we are responsible for.

These monies go to the operation of that.”

Williams stressed the importance of the work that is going on to preserve our history and to educate our children.

“We do educate the local children on our history. We will have to make some adjustments for the school tours during the renovation,” she said.

“Last year we had 800 school children come through. That is a lot of volunteers. We do school tours and the Sunday Funday program. We do those for free.”

In addition to programs, the Historical Museum has a catelogue system where people can do research.

“The long term goal is to make that available online. We do have to eventually figure out how to make it available online

while not going broke in the process,” Williams said. “We have seen more use of the archive than in the past, and we would like to see that grow. The archive is getting bigger.”

In addition to research, the archive building can be used for other purposes.

“We have a large meeting room, with a full kitchen and two bathrooms that are all ADA-compliant that is available to anyone in the community to rent.

We have special non-profit rates,” Willians said. “If you want to have an anniversary, baby shower or wedding reception, we have done all of those.

Tables and chairs are included with the rental. We also do special day rates. People don’t know about it, but it is there, and we use that money to help pay our operating expenses.”

This year marks a new chapter for the museum because renovations have begun.

“As far as we know the museum has not been renovated since the society moved in here in 1976. There was a section upstairs that had been fixed, but there was water damage and nothing had been done aside from updating the heating and cooling. It’s exciting to see that happen,” she said.

For more information on the show, or on the Historical Museum, call 6228333.

On Dec. 12, Dave Peek was seriously injured in a pedestrian auto accident. He was subsequently life-flighted to University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, where he has undergone extensive medical procedures and has began what will be a long road to recovery. Peek is the auto

mechanic teacher at Roswell High School and is dearly loved by all his students. He has started working hard to get through this but the family is still incurring serious expenses associated with traveling back and forth from Lubbock for his treatment.

Scott continued, “Mr. Peek is a beloved teacher that is loved by all. His generous spirit has helped so many here in Roswell.

Jennifer Furman, a fellow Art teacher friend of mine, is also putting together a silent auction of donated art from area artists the night of the show. It is going to be a night of giving back to someone who has helped so many here in Roswell.”

Bill allowing adjunct teachers passes House

Submitted

Santa Fe — Legislation that will allow industry professionals to teach part time in the classroom without having to go back to college to receive their teaching degree passed the House floor by a 31-21 vote.

This will allow experts in their respective fields to share their knowledge with students.

“Every classroom

deserves a good teacher, and today we made a great step toward that goal,” said state Rep. Conrad James, R-Albuquerque, who is sponsoring the bill. “With this bill, not only will we be able to recruit more teachers — we can bring industry experts into the classroom where they can pass on their wealth of knowledge and experience directly to the students. This is a good bill for New Mexico’s

children.”

To qualify, the professionals will need a bachelor’s degree, three years of documented work experience in the subject field, a passing score on the appropriate teacher license assessment and successful completion of a pedagogy class. They will also be subject to an evaluation process and, if rated “ineffective,” they will lose their certificate.

C4 Sunday, March 8, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: Hypertension runs in my family, but as a pretty healthy 49-year-old, I didn't think much about it. I never realized that my pounding headaches were a direct result of high blood pressure. To make matters worse, the same high blood pressure that was causing my head to throb was also destroying my kidneys.

I wish I had known

Comics about my high blood pressure sooner and taken it seriously. When I finally learned about my kidney damage, it was too late to save them.

More than 73 million people are at risk for developing kidney disease, and I sincerely want to help them avoid this fate. My battle with kidney disease has turned me into an advocate for patients and those who are at risk. In honor of National Kidney Month in March and World Kidney Day on March 12, will you please help me spread the word?

LANCE TAYLOR IN MINNESOTA DEAR LANCE: I'm pleased to help you

in this worthwhile effort.

According to the National Kidney Foundation, one in three American adults is at risk for kidney disease.

Major risk factors for kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney failure and being age 60 or older. Additional risk factors include kidney stones, smoking, obesity and cardiovascular disease.

Kidney disease often goes undetected because it lacks physical symptoms until the very late stages.

By then the organs have already failed. But early detection, healthy lifestyle changes and proper treatment can slow the progress of kidney disease. Those at risk should have simple

Roswell Daily Record

blood and urine tests to check if their kidneys are working properly.

Readers, if you are at risk, during your next physical examination, ask your health care practitioner to check your kidneys. To learn more about prevention, visit kidney. org. You will also find information about free KEEP Healthy kidney screenings in your area.

HHHHH Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby atDearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Here is this week's SOUND OFF, regarding packaging for flour and sugar: "The packaging of flour and sugar products selected by manufacturers and distributors is inappropriate. There is not one kitchen without flour or sugar on the counters or floors after opening a new package and attempting to put it into another container. Why don't manufacturers use zippered-style locking bags to deliver the product to the customer? It could be vacuum-sealed, if necessary, and provide the consumer with the ability to transfer the flour or sugar without spillage."

Ed H., Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas Ed, it must be synchronicity! I just had to deal with transferring sugar to the big jar I use to store it. I averted a mess by doing the transfer over the kitchen garbage can.

The manufacturers are the ones responsible for the packaging. I don't think distributors have any say in this matter. It all comes down to money! The paper bags look just like the ones from wayyyyyy back! It probably would cost a bit to change the packaging, because they would have to change (update) and retool the machinery. The cost would be passed along to the consumer. It may be only a penny or so to us, but probably runs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the company.

So, get out the scissors, pour over the sink or trash can and be done with it!

Heloise HHHHH

Dear Readers: Uses for embroidery hoops: • Use as a frame for needlework and hang on a wall.

• Play "ring toss" with several of them.

• Make a small pincushion.

• Put over a hanger, and use for scarves.

• Put fabric in one and use to store stud earrings.

Heloise Dear Heloise: I have a decorative mirror that is getting small scratches in it. Is there any way to get rid of them?

Carol. S., via email Scratches are tough to remove, because it's a scratch into the mirror, not really a "scratch" on the surface that you can wipe off. Glass-supply stores sell a powdered compound just for this. Follow directions on the packaging, and good luck! If they are deep, you may not be able to remove them.
